I conquer the immortal with my strength.

Chapter 280: Re-forming the Golden Pill [First update, please give me a monthly ticket]

"That's great!" Xia Daoming was delighted.

"How could I, as a teacher, be so worthy to have a disciple like you!" Zuo Dongge looked at Xia Daoming, feeling deeply moved.

"Hehe!" Xia Daoming smiled proudly and was about to brag a few words when he suddenly sensed several familiar auras approaching Tianjian Peak rapidly.

At this time, Zuo Dongge stood up with a smile: "Your people are here."

"Really? Master's spiritual sense is so powerful. You have already sensed them before they even show up." Xia Daoming was shocked and said in admiration.

His spiritual consciousness was nourished by both true Qi and blood, and the nourishing effect of the boundless sea of ​​blood was especially amazing.

Therefore, although he seemed to be only in the late foundation building stage, his spiritual awareness was actually as strong as that of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Before his master's golden elixir broke, he was only at the middle stage of the golden elixir realm, but now the spiritual awareness he displayed was as powerful as his, which surprised Xia Daoming a little.

"My master's golden elixir was damaged, but my consciousness was not. In the past two hundred years, I have not been able to cultivate my magic power, and your master uncle was worried that I could not withstand further injuries, so he did not assign any tasks to me.

I was not disturbed by external affairs, and my skills could not be improved. Gradually, I became pure-hearted and even had no desires. Instead, I was able to focus my mind on comprehending the way of the sword and refining my spiritual consciousness.

So, even though your master's cultivation has fallen to the early stage of the Golden Core, if we really compare swordsmanship and spiritual awareness, even if we face a cultivator in the late stage of the Golden Core, your master will never lose to them." Zuo Dongge said proudly.

"If so, once Master re-forms the golden elixir and has enough resources to improve his magic power, wouldn't he be able to cultivate to the late golden elixir realm with great momentum?" Xia Daoming said in surprise.

"As long as there are enough resources, you will soon step into the Nascent Soul stage. I dare not boast, but the late Golden Core stage will definitely be no problem." Zuo Dongge said confidently.

"Master is indeed worthy of being the best Jindan master in Qingyuan Sect today!" Xia Daoming gave Zuo Dongge a thumbs up.

"Haha!" Zuo Dongge laughed heartily.

As he laughed loudly, streaks of sword energy shot out from Zuo Dongge's body and sank into the invisible sword light curtain, and soon the Tianluo Sword Formation dissipated.

"A short separation is better than a new marriage. After you go out to pick up Qiao Lian and the others, go straight back to your Chiyan Peak. We can talk about other things later." Zuo Dongge waved to Xia Daoming.

"Alright, I'll take my leave first."

Xia Daoming nodded, rolled up a rainbow of light, and hurriedly broke through the air.

After experiencing the life-and-death battle in the forbidden area of ​​the ancient ruins of Nirvana, he really missed his two beloved wives.

Looking up at the rainbow light rapidly breaking through the air, Zuo Dongge did not move for a long time until the rainbow light disappeared. He did not know when his eyes became moist.

Those who came to greet Xia Daoming included not only his two beloved wives Liu Qiaolian and Ji Wenyue, but also Shang Rui, Lan Xue, Lu Ziying, Shao Shiyu, Mo Yongzhi, Wan Yan and other core figures of Chiyan Peak.

"You miss your husband so much!" As soon as Xia Daoming saw Liu Qiaolian and Ji Wenyue, he didn't care that he was in public. He immediately stepped forward, hugged Liu Qiaolian, one on each side, and started to kiss them fiercely. Shang Rui and other old women looked up at the sky in silence, while Lan Xue and Lu Ziying blushed and were envious.

This is how you should marry a husband!

"Husband, Sister Rui and the others are here!" However, Liu Qiaolian and Ji Wenyue were so embarrassed that they quickly pushed Xia Daoming away, but they felt indescribably sweet in their hearts.

"It's okay, we're all family!" Xia Daoming shamelessly kissed the two's delicate faces again, then he bowed to Shang Rui and the others and said, "I'm sorry, we've met again after such a long time, I can't help but lose my composure a little."

Shang Rui curled his lips and looked up, too lazy to pay attention to this guy.

I'd be surprised if you felt embarrassed!
Lan Xue and the others didn't dare to act like Shang Rui, and quickly waved their hands: "It's okay, it's okay, it's human nature!"

Xia Daoming laughed, waved his hand, and said, "Go back home!"

So, Xia Daoming, surrounded by the crowd, went all the way back to Chiyan Peak.

As soon as he returned to Chiyan Peak, Xia Daoming asked about some recent events in the cave, and also picked up some unimportant things in the ancient ruins. He talked about them casually and then picked up the teacup.

Shang Rui and others immediately stood up and said goodbye upon seeing this.

As soon as everyone left, Liu Qiaolian and Ji Wenyue, who had been shy and embarrassed just now, came up to them enthusiastically.

On that day, the three of them stayed up all night to discuss their card skills.

While Xia Daoming and his two wives were fiercely competing in card skills, Sect Leader Yue Huang convened a small meeting in the inner hall of the Sect Leader's Mansion.

Except for Zuo Dongge, the others who participated in the meeting were all powerful figures in Qingyuan Sect.

There are the master of the Law Enforcement Hall Xiao Hongyi, the master of the Transmission Hall Qiu Dongyan, the master of the Protection Hall Xing Zhan, the master of the Alchemy Hall Zhongli Shuyun, the master of the Weapon Refining Hall Kong Shuding, the master of the Internal Affairs Hall Tu Shouye, and the master of the Scripture Pavilion Shen Boyin.

Among these seven people, the first three are in the late Jindan realm, and the last four are in the middle Jindan realm.

At the meeting, Qiu Dongyan, who had originally been dissatisfied with Zuo Dongge, deliberately sat next to his right this time and said a lot of flattering words in private.

Xing Zhan sat on the left side of Zuodong Pavilion and also said a lot of compliments.

There was no way. If Xia Daoming had not taken action this time, their two beloved disciples would have already died in the ancient ruins.

Not only that, because of Xia Daoming, their two precious disciples also made a lot of money.

As their masters, they naturally gained many benefits.

And from this trip to the ancient ruins, as long as Xia Daoming grows up successfully, he will definitely be the leading figure of Qingyuan Sect in the future.

In this situation, even if Qiu Dongyan had any resentment towards Zuo Dongge in the past, she had to let it go.

Although the other hall masters did not go out of their way to thank and compliment Zuo Dongge like Qiu Dongyan and Xing Zhan, they had greatly changed their attitude towards this Jindan elder who had been almost invisible since he was injured and had little presence.

All these changes made Zuo Dongge feel as if he had returned to the past in a different world.

Back then, he was surrounded by people and was full of vigor and vitality.

However, that time he relied on his own strength.

This time it was because of the disciples.

The meeting lasted until late at night.

The central topic of the meeting almost all revolved around Xia Daoming.

“From today on, this boy will be the only secret disciple among the three generations of disciples of my Qingyuan Sect, with the same status as a Jindan elder. As long as he needs anything, I will open all convenient doors to him.

However, in order to prevent Junior Brother Zuo's tragedy from happening again, this matter must be kept secret, limited to those of us present today, and Uncle Huangfu. I will send a secret letter to him and inform him of this matter. "Yue Huang said with a serious look.

“It’s a good thing that Daoming can become the secret disciple of Qingyuan Sect, but we can’t keep him in captivity and protect him because we are afraid that something might happen to him. Jade cannot be made into a useful tool without being polished. He should be given the tasks that he should be given, so that he can truly grow up.” Zuo Dongge said in a deep voice.

“Of course! Cultivating immortals is an act that goes against the will of heaven. Without going through hardships, how can one reach the top? We, as elders, are only helping him to the best of our ability, but he still needs to walk the road by himself.” Yue Huang said.
-
Half a year passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, a sword light suddenly flew out from the Elders' Mansion on Tianjian Peak and lingered around the mountain day and night.

The sword gleamed fiercely, preventing any passing monks from approaching and spying.

On the same day, news spread throughout the Qingyuan Gate that Elder Zuo Dongge was going to go into seclusion for a long time and would refuse visits from anyone, including the Jindan Elder.

The news caused quite a stir and surprise. Most of the inner disciples of Qingyuan Sect had heard that Zuo Dongge was seriously injured and his cultivation level had fallen to the early stage of the Golden Core, and that he would never be able to improve again in this lifetime.

Why would such a person suddenly want to go into seclusion for a long time?

But news spread quickly and died down quickly.

After all, Zuo Dongge is already an outdated Jindan elder, and no one would be willing to spend time paying attention to his gossip.

Even many Jindan cultivators of Qingyuan Sect couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

It's better to be in seclusion, out of sight, out of mind, so that when I see him I won't be reminded of the past when I was defeated by him.

In the back mountain of Tianjian Peak, there is a cave for practicing.

The entrance of the cave was filled with flashing sword lights.

Inside the cave.

Shang Rui sat cross-legged in the center, with a jade box in front of him, and in the jade box was a Nirvana Rebirth Fruit.

Shang Rui stared at the Nirvana Rebirth Fruit in front of him with a complicated expression, and sat still for a long time.

"Friend Shang, let's begin."

It was not until a man's voice sounded that Shang Rui raised his eyes to look at Zuo Dongge who was sitting cross-legged across from him about ten feet away.

"Thank you, Elder Zuo."

Shang Rui nodded, then his eyes narrowed slightly and he picked up the Nirvana Rebirth Fruit.

The Nirvana Rebirth Fruit quickly entered the stomach.

Everything was calm at first.

But not long after, a red light emerged from Shang Rui's body, and the clothes on her body spontaneously combusted without any fire.

"This……"

Zuo Dongge was dumbfounded and subconsciously wanted to look away, but in the end he did not look away and instead focused more intently.

There is only this one chance. If you miss it, you will not only waste the Nirvana Rebirth Fruit given to you by Xia Daoming, but also your own life.

In a blink of an eye, half a year passed.

Zuo Dongge was still sitting cross-legged in the same place, with his hair and beard hanging on the ground.

In front of him, Shang Rui was completely enveloped in a ball of flames and could no longer be seen.

If there hadn't been a faint familiar breath coming from the flames, Zuo Dongge would have really suspected that she had been burned to ashes by the fire of Nirvana.

I don’t know how long it had been, but suddenly a shadow of a fetus appeared in the flames, and an indescribable pure vitality appeared with the shadow of the fetus and continued to flourish.

Zuo Dongge's eyes were shining brightly and his mind was highly concentrated, not daring to miss any changes.

Another half year has passed.

The flames gradually disappeared, and a tall, naked young woman with flesh and blood appeared in front of Zuo Dongge.

She sat upright, her expression serene and pure as a white lotus without a speck of dust on her.

After an unknown amount of time, the woman finally slowly opened her eyes.

When she saw Zuo Dongge, whose hair and beard were all over the floor and who was staring at her intently, her heart couldn't help but warm. She smiled leisurely and said softly, "Thank you, Elder Zuo, for protecting me. You have worked so hard."

"Hehe! It's not hard!" Despite Zuo Dongge's fearless and unrestrained character, he was inexplicably frightened and shivered all over. He stammered in reply, then hurriedly stood up and prepared to escape.

"Ah! Zuo Dongge, stop right there!" However, before Zuo Dongge could escape from the cave, a sharp scream and an indescribable scolding of shame and anger came from behind him.
-
Red Flame Peak.

Xia Daoming, who was practicing in seclusion, suddenly opened his eyes. He waved his hand, and a sword light fell into his hand and turned into a letter talisman.

Xia Daoming glanced at the talisman, immediately stood up with a look of surprise, and left the cave where he practiced.

All in all, it has been a year and a half since he returned from the ancient ruins of Nirvana.

In the past year and a half, except for a few occasional outings, he almost always practiced hard in Qingyuan Sect and was not in a hurry to go out to look for the White Tiger and Black Tortoise Blood Pearls.

These two things are hard to come by, and he went out alone to look for them, completely in the dark, like a headless fly, and it was just a waste of time.

Fortunately, he now has a group of people affiliated with him, both inside and outside the Qingyuan Sect.

He ordered his men to inquire widely about the news related to the White Tiger and the Black Tortoise Blood Pearl.

Not only that, a year and a half ago, he got the secret disciple token from the head of the sect Yue Huang.

Although this identity should not be disclosed at present, the benefits it brings are indeed real.

For example, you can ask the headmaster and the masters of each hall about cultivation at any time, and you can also ask the master of the weapon refining hall to help you refine magic weapons, and ask the master of the alchemy hall to help you refine elixirs.

For example, you can enter and exit the top floor of the Sutra Library at will and browse the most secret collections there.

In addition, relying on his status as a secret disciple, he can issue a task to inquire about the news of the White Tiger and Black Tortoise Blood Pearls through Xiao Hongyi and the Sect Master in the name of the sect.

With so many people helping him to get the news, he could naturally stay in Qingyuan Sect and practice in peace, concentrating on polishing the foundation of Qi Refining, and using the earth fire of Chiyan Peak to train his body.

His talent in Qi Refining was not outstanding, and he only entered the field of Qi Refining at an old age through acquired spiritual enlightenment. The fact that he was able to raise his realm to the late foundation-building stage in such a short period of time was largely due to his powerful body-refining martial arts.

The powerful body-refining martial arts made his meridians strong, gave him the opportunity to obtain cultivation resources that others could not imagine, and allowed him to possess a spiritual awareness far more powerful than that of cultivators at the same level. All of this made up for the defects and mediocrity of his Qi-refining talent, making him a talented cultivator in the eyes of others.

But Xia Daoming knew very well that he was not gifted in Qi Refining, unlike Liu Qiaolian and Ji Wenyue who were geniuses in cultivation but were hindered by their backgrounds.

Therefore, Xia Daoming should take advantage of this period of time to hone his skills in Qi Refining.

As long as he has a solid foundation and strong military force to back him up, he will be able to go very far in the art of Qi training in the future.

However, if his foundation is not solid and he does not fully understand the secrets of cultivation, then his achievements in Qi training will probably be limited.

As it happened, with the status of a secret disciple, he could ask the sect leader and the masters of the major halls about the way of cultivating immortals at any time, and he could freely enter and exit the Sutra Library to browse the collection. For Xia Daoming, who made his debut halfway, this was definitely a good opportunity to make up for the deficiencies in his upper foundation and consolidate his foundation.

In fact, the one and a half years of meditation and practice made up for many of Xia Daoming's shortcomings in his early practice, allowing him to gradually approach perfection in building his foundation.

Otherwise, even if he had many cultivation resources that others could not imagine, it would still be difficult for him to complete his foundation without truly understanding the true meaning of the Dao.

On the contrary, Liu Qiaolian and Ji Wenyue were indeed geniuses in cultivation. After taking some elixirs and magic pills that Xia Daoming brought back from the ancient ruins of Nieyan, they quickly broke through to the late stage of foundation building. Now they were only one step away from perfect foundation building. If nothing unexpected happened, they would definitely reach the perfect foundation building stage before Xia Daoming. This made him sigh with emotion that talent was something that was truly innate.

Fortunately, he had the bonus of physical training and martial arts, and he could also make steady progress in Qi training, otherwise he would have been left far behind by his two beloved wives.
