Immortal weapon refiner

Chapter 817 Jin Xuanmen

Master Fu Xuan lay bedridden for three years before he passed away.

Chu Lingyi, holding a white jade porcelain bottle in her hand, had tears in her eyes and kept sobbing and calling out the word "Master".

Master Fu Xuan, who was obsessed with talismans, actually had several decades left to live. However, unfortunately, he forcefully drew a fourth-level talisman, which caused the talisman's power to backfire and caused irreversible damage to his soul.

At this point, Lingyun Sect lost a real person in the late Jindan stage, a true pillar and the person with the highest attainments in talismans in the entire sect.

Seven days later, the sky was covered with snow-white talisman paper, which scattered all over the back mountain of Lingyun Sect. A Jindan Zhenren was buried there.

This incident caused a huge uproar in the entire Qingling Domain's cultivation world. Many people lamented that if one does not truly attain enlightenment and become an immortal, even the strongest person will eventually die.

"Master Fu Xuan has passed away. He was a true master of talismans. At an auction, several third-level talismans drawn by this senior were sold at sky-high prices."

"The great master of the talisman sect has passed away. Lingyun Sect has lost a great elder who can take charge of the sect on his own."

"Could this be a sign of decline? I heard that Lingyun Sect's powerful Wuji Patriarch has not shown up in decades."

"Hey, don't say that!"

"In fact, the peerless tiger ancestor that the Wuji ancestor had been raising at the Lingyun Sect's mountain gate also disappeared inexplicably for many years."

In the Qingling Domain's cultivation world, there was a lot of speculation about this matter, and everyone had a different opinion.

Some people think that Lingyun Sect has begun to decline and is no longer as powerful as it used to be.

Of course, some people also think that the Lingyun Sect is just hiding its strength and biding its time, and the reason why the Wuji Patriarch did not show up is that he is just trying to break through to the Spirit Transformation Stage.

After all, it is normal for a cultivator at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage to go into seclusion for dozens or even hundreds of years.

However, the rumors about Lingyun Sect's inevitable decline after its peak seemed to have been guided by some unknown person, and it was even spread in the outside world that Lingyun Sect's Wuji ancestor died in the heavenly calamity when he was about to reach the Spiritual Transformation Stage!
Once this outrageous statement was made, countless independent cultivators were frightened into silence, and they retreated one after another, not daring to participate in this topic.

You must know that even if the current Lingyun Sect is not as strong as it used to be, it is still the undisputed overlord of the immortal way.

This is a topic that cannot be touched upon. If the Lingyun Sect's law enforcement disciples catch us, the consequences will be quite serious.

In response to this, Lingyun Sect did not make any special statement to stop the groundless rumors.

He has remained silent throughout, just like usual, like a quiet mountain, standing safely and unmoved by any rumors from the outside world.

This confident attitude eventually dispelled the rumors.

In the blink of an eye, another twenty years have passed.

It has been fifty years since Li Qing fell into a deep sleep. The outer disciples of Lingyun Sect have been replaced several times. Some have been promoted to inner disciples, making rapid progress in their cultivation and successfully building their foundation, but more people have remained in the late stage of Qi Refining for their entire lives, slowly growing old with full of regrets.

In recent years, many new forces have emerged in the Qingling Territory's world of immortal cultivation.

Some independent cultivators successfully built their foundations, occupied a spiritual vein, and established a new family of immortal cultivators.

There were also small chambers of commerce from outside the region that moved in, opened shops in various markets, and started various businesses.

Among these forces, the most powerful one is the Jinxuan Sect, which is actually an immortal sect that was established right under the nose of the Lingyun Sect. It is truly shocking.

The origin of the Jin Xuan Sect is unknown. They traded a second-level spiritual vein from a declining immortal cultivation family, and used this as the foundation to establish their own sect!

Not only that, the Jinxuan Sect also held a founding ceremony and an ascension conference, as if it was recruiting disciples and claiming to be the ancestor.

Although the Lingyun Sect has never openly prohibited other forces from establishing sects in the Qingling Region, the emergence of the Jinxuan Sect is truly the first time in history.

The vast majority of independent cultivators remained on the sidelines, waiting for the demise of Jin Xuan Sect with an attitude of watching a joke, and did not dare to participate in the so-called Immortal Ascension Conference and the founding ceremony of Jin Xuan Sect.

But money can make people happy. Jin Xuanmen actually took out five foundation-building pills as rewards for the sect's Ascension Conference. Anyone who stands out in the Ascension Conference can get them!

For a time, the world of immortal cultivation in Qingling Territory was in turmoil.

Many cultivators who have ambitions for building a foundation are eager to take part in the Jinxuan Sect's Immortality Conference, ignoring some risks.

"That's the foundation-building pill. If I get it, it may be possible for me to reach the foundation-building stage in this lifetime."

"Let's fight. I'm nearly fifty years old. If I can enter the Immortal Sect, I might be able to break through to the late stage of Qi Refining, or even have a glimpse of hope for foundation building."

"As monks, we should face the challenges head on and forge ahead without fear of danger or difficulty!"

Because of these five foundation-building pills, quite a few low-level cultivators who had been stuck in the Qi Refining Stage for years went to the Jinxuan Gate to sign up for the Ascension Conference.

The Lingyun Sect was also very surprised by the sudden appearance of the Jinxuan Sect.

"What a great Jinxuan Sect! It really set a precedent in the Qingling Region. It dared to recruit disciples and establish its own sect right under the nose of my Lingyun Sect." Xu Xia narrowed his eyes, feeling that this matter was quite strange.

Some rumors related to Lingyun Sect in previous years had made him wary. Now the sudden emergence of Jinxuan Sect had forced him to think deeply.

"To be able to take out five foundation-building pills at once as a reward for the Ascension Conference is not something an ordinary cultivator can do."

"An outsider Jindan Zhenren? What's his purpose? It can't be that he just wants to establish a sect, right?"

As the head of the sect, Xu Xia always has a lot of things to consider, especially since the Jinxuan Sect may involve real people in the Jindan stage, whose level is not low and cannot be taken lightly.

A few days later, Xu Xia selected several trustworthy inner disciples from the sect. All of them were cultivators at the eighth or ninth level of Qi Refining with good character. In addition, with several high-quality magical instruments bestowed by him, their combat power was far beyond the reach of ordinary Qi Refining cultivators.

He sent these Qi Refining disciples to the Jinxuan Sect to sign up for the Ascension Conference and asked them to find out about the general situation of the Jinxuan Sect.

However, plans can never keep up with changes.

Just after these disciples set off, an elder in charge of external affairs came to report: "Reporting to the head master, Uncle Wu asked me to come and tell you that he has already left for Jinxuanmen."

As soon as these words were spoken, Xu Xia's face changed drastically, and he felt that things seemed to be a little bad.

There is only one supreme elder in Lingyun Sect with the surname Wu, and that is naturally Wu Chong!
"Go and stop Senior Brother Wu. Forget it, I'll go by myself. You tell the other Supreme Elders about this and ask them to ask Patriarch Su Xin to come out of seclusion!"

After saying that, Xu Xia disappeared into the air, leaving the foreign affairs elder with a dumbfounded look on his face.

Jinxuanmen is located in the northwest of Qingling Region. It is adjacent to the vast grassland and has several second-level spiritual veins.

The Jinxuan Sect, which occupied one of the second-level spiritual veins, held an Ascension Conference with great fanfare. Because of the five foundation-building pills, the conference was quite prestigious and attracted many independent cultivators.

“Haha, the Essence-Absorbing and Soul-Locking Formation of this Great Wilderness Demonic Sect is truly extraordinary. Once this formation is deployed, it can not only lock the spiritual energy of the spiritual veins from leaking out, but can also absorb the spiritual energy from the outside world.”

"Given time, the spiritual energy of this second-level spiritual vein may be as rich as that of a third-level spiritual vein!"

A rough laugh rang out, and a strong man was seen standing with his hands behind his back, looking at everything around him with satisfaction.

"Of course, it's a pity that my attainments in formations are still not good enough, otherwise I could use the formation patterns to communicate with the earth veins, and even directly draw in the spiritual energy thousands of miles away, and slowly drain the other spiritual veins in the surrounding areas."

"Once this formation is deployed, it will cause the spiritual energy in the surrounding area to gradually dry up. This is against the will of heaven and earth, and it has long been listed as a forbidden formation in the Great Wilderness. I'm afraid that Lingyun Sect..."

A formation master with a celestial appearance responded with some hesitation. The strong man didn't care at all and said confidently: "Don't worry about this matter, I have my own considerations."

"Next, let's just hold this Immortal Ascension Conference."

A few days later, just as the Jinxuan Sect’s Ascension Conference was about to be held, a powerful aura descended.

boom!
"Where is the leader of the Jinxuan Sect? Since you founded the sect in my Qingling Region, why don't you show up and meet with Mr. Wu?"

Wu Chong arrived. His aura was very powerful, and his cultivation in the late Jindan stage swept out, causing countless casual cultivators who came to participate in the Ascension Conference to change their expressions.

"Damn it! The Jindan stage Grand Elder of Lingyun Sect has arrived, and the Ascension Conference hasn't even started yet!"

"It's over. Will the Jinxuan Sect be destroyed directly?"

"An elder in the late Jindan stage, the Jinxuan Sect is probably in danger!"

A large number of casual cultivators gasped and looked up at the sky in shock.

I saw a figure surrounded by four gluttonous beasts walking towards me, overwhelming the entire Jinxuanmen's territory with a terrifying aura.

Today, Wu Chong has reached the late stage of Jindan, and his attainments in "Taotie Magic Art" are not even inferior to that of the former ancestor Tuntian.

He came here with great force, and his purpose was obvious, which was to weigh the quality of the Jinxuan Sect.

Soon, inside the Jinxuan Gate, a loud and arrogant laugh resounded through the heavens and the earth:
“Hahahahahaha, isn’t this the Senior Wu who wanted to take me in as his apprentice?”

"Almost a hundred years have passed, and you are still standing still at the Jindan stage. It's really hard for you."

boom!
Along with this wild laughter, an equally powerful aura emerged!

I saw a burly man with strange patterns all over his upper body stepping forward. He had an extremely wild temperament, like a warrior coming out of the wilderness, primitive and violent.

After seeing this somewhat familiar face, Wu Chong finally remembered who this person was.

A genius who abandoned Lingyun Sect in the past, with a barbaric bone battle body and the unparalleled talent of natural spiritual roots, Shi Zuming!

"It's you! How dare you set foot in Qingling Territory?!" Wu Chong shouted in a deep voice.

Shi Zuming, the barbarian bone warrior, sneered and refined a huge bone stick. The stick was stained with deep blood, and it was unknown what kind of monster it came from.

"Is this area some kind of life restricted zone? Why shouldn't I dare to come here?"

Today, Shi Zuming has actually already cultivated to the middle stage of Jindan, and is not far from the late stage of Jindan!

At this moment, Wu Chong remembered this person's amazing talent, which was a combination of natural spiritual roots and a powerful Taoist body.

In just over a hundred years, he had actually completed the Qi training stage and reached the middle stage of the Core Formation stage in one fell swoop. It was simply a bit exaggerated.

This person must have had some good fortune, otherwise even with such a terrifying aptitude, it would be impossible for him to cultivate so quickly.

"Hmph, I would like to ask, what does your Jin Xuanmen mean?" Wu Chong said coldly.

Shi Zuming responded without showing any weakness: "It means exactly what it says. Why? Doesn't Qingling Territory allow others to establish their own sects?"

"Does your Lingyun Sect really think that you are the only one in power? Please call out that Senior Wuji. I want to ask him if he regrets not accepting me as his disciple."

When Wu Chong heard this person mention Li Qing, anger surged in his heart.

"Okay, okay, I want to see if you have the ability to establish a sect in Qingling Territory!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Chong's hands surged with magical power, and the four Taotie beasts on his waist rushed out directly.

"Roar!"

The four Taotie suddenly grew larger in size, their bodies covering the sky and obscuring all the clouds and mist.

Faced with these four ferocious beasts that seemed to want to destroy the world, Shi Zuming was not afraid at all. Instead, he grinned and slapped the bone stick in his hand.

boom! boom! boom!
Within a few seconds, the rhythmic sound of the bone stick activated the barbaric bone fighting blood in his body.

Then, the lines all over his body began to turn red.

"kill!"

This monk with a barbaric bone body immediately displayed terrifying combat power that far exceeded that of monks of the same level.

He swung the bone stick in his hand, the barbaric blood in his body boiled, and huge power surged out. Every swing could easily shatter a mountain.

boom!
The first gluttonous beast that rushed forward was smashed to pieces by his brutal blow, turning into a rain of light in the sky.

The remaining three Taotie beasts began to bite its flesh, but no matter how hard they gnawed, they could not leave even a scar on its body.

The body is as strong as a magic weapon.

"Hahahaha, little Doyle!"

Master Man Gu laughed wildly, grabbed a Taotie with his extremely savage hands, and actually exploded it with brute force.

The remaining two ends were also smashed into pieces by him with a stick.

At this moment, he displayed the power of the Barbarian Bone Battle Body to the fullest. This is a natural physical cultivation. Even if he does not practice special body-building techniques, he can still possess a terrifying physique.

Seeing this scene, Wu Chong's face changed drastically. He knew that there would be some trouble today. This person's body refining realm was even comparable to that of a fourth-level monster.

Coupled with his magical powers in the middle stage of the Golden Core, he might be able to fight against a cultivator in the Yuanying stage.

"If I had stayed in Lingyun Sect, I wouldn't have gotten to this point today."

"It seems that the previous decision was not wrong."

In just a hundred years, he had acquired combat power close to that of a Nascent Soul cultivator. This was definitely not something that could be obtained by staying in Lingyun Sect and worshipping a supreme elder as his teacher.

This person definitely had other experiences, and there might even be other great monks behind the scenes.

Although Wu Chong acted a little rashly, he was by no means a fool and he quickly figured it all out.

An ordinary cultivator does not have the resources to reach this point in such a short time. Someone is helping him!

"Who is behind you?" Wu Chong asked coldly.

Man Gu Zhenren naturally did not answer. He waved the huge bone stick in his hand and said with a smile: "Senior Wu, you have too many questions. Let me continue to learn from your Taotie Magic Skills today!"
