I conquer the immortal with my strength.

Chapter 326 Farewell Elder Luo

"This is a Bailian Huayuan Pill, which can consolidate and improve your cultivation. You can go now." Yue Huang gritted his teeth, threw a pill bottle to Xia Daoming, then waved his hands repeatedly while suppressing the pain in his heart.

"It's far from a magic weapon." Xia Daoming took the pill bottle, muttered softly, and then casually put the pill bottle into the storage ring.

When Yue Huang heard Xia Daoming's muttering, he wanted to use Cixuan Mountain to suppress this guy on the spot.

This is the Bailian Huayuan Pill, which he only rewarded his own disciples with when they were promoted to Jindan cultivators.

And who is not grateful?

As a result, this kid actually looked disgusted.

Xia Daoming didn't seem to notice Yue Huang's look of suppressing him. After putting away the pill bottle, he didn't thank him. Instead, he bowed and said, "Master, I have something to ask of you."

Yue Huang's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. He wanted to tell him to shut up and get out, but in the end, he still took his identity into consideration. His face turned stern and he asked dignifiedly, "What's the matter?"

"Doesn't the sect have a rule that every Jindan cultivator must serve the sect for a certain number of years? I am already a Jindan cultivator now, so I would like to volunteer to serve in the Slaughter Cave and Youhuang Ruins for three years." Xia Daoming bowed and reported.

"Oh, so you're volunteering to serve!" Yue Huang heaved a sigh of relief, but then he almost jumped up and said, "What, you want to volunteer to serve in the Slaughter Cave and the Desolate Ruins? That won't work. It's too dangerous there. Find another place."

"If jade is not carved, it cannot be made into a useful object. My uncle-master says that I have the potential to become a Nascent Soul. If I don't go to some dangerous places, how can I hope to achieve the Nascent Soul path?" Xia Daoming said in a deep voice.

“Don’t give me that. Do you think I don’t know that you want to enter the Killing Cave to look for the White Tiger Blood Pearl? If you really want to follow the path of Nascent Soul, you shouldn’t be distracted by physical training and martial arts, and you shouldn’t take great risks for the sake of physical training and martial arts.” Yue Huang glared.

"Master, you are indeed worthy of being the head of the sect. You are very perceptive and nothing can be hidden from you. However, I have made up my mind. If you do not assign this task to me, I will go there in my private capacity.

But if you do this, you can't live in the city and can only wander outside the city, which is even more dangerous. "Xia Daoming flattered him first, then changed the subject and spoke in a firm tone.

“You…” Yue Huang slammed the table and stood up, glaring at him with a majestic aura.

Xia Daoming looked at him calmly and refused to give in.

"Good! As expected of Zuo Dongge's disciple, his temper is such a shit!" After a while, Yue Huang slammed the table again.

"Uncle-master, are you praising me or criticizing me?" Xia Daoming secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Just now, when Yue Huai slammed the table and stood up, his momentum was quite intimidating.
-
After a while, Xia Daoming left the headmaster's residence with a complicated expression.

Yue Huang finally agreed to Xia Daoming's request.

However, to Xia Daoming's surprise, the head master, who had always been stingy and valued money, suddenly threw him a broken jade talisman when he stepped out of the door. Then, before Xia Daoming could come to his senses, a force pushed him out of the door, and then the door of the hall slammed shut.

"Isn't it just a broken jade talisman? Is it necessary to be so exaggerated?" Xia Daoming twisted the storage ring with his fingers and pouted, but he felt inexplicably warm and touched in his heart.

The main hall of the headmaster's mansion.

Yue Huang, who was tall and strong with a dignified demeanor, was pulling his beard with a look of distress on his face.

"Impulsive! Why am I so impulsive?"
-
Ten days later.

A flying boat rose into the sky from Qingyuan Mountain and flew towards the north.

On the flying boat, Xia Daoming and an old man who wore a tall crown, had protruding cheekbones and looked to be in his seventies, stood side by side at the bow with their hands behind their backs.

This old man was none other than Luo Qian, the Jindan elder of Qingyuan Sect.

That was the first time Xia Daoming met him in the Youhe Valley outside the ancient ruins of Longyu Sea. The old man was nearly four hundred years old at that time, but he was still quite conceited, high-spirited, and dignified, and he looked like a man in his sixties.

In the blink of an eye, more than thirty years have passed.

Luo Qian is now over 400 years old, with less than 100 years left to live. His cultivation is still stagnant at the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm, and he no longer looks as majestic and vigorous as before.

Instead, he looked haggard and older, like a man over 70 years old.

"My own cultivation has stagnated, my lifespan has been decreasing, and my daughter has failed repeatedly in her attempts to reach the Golden Core realm. It would be strange if I didn't get old!" Xia Daoming felt touched and glanced behind him out of the corner of his eye.

On the flying boat, in addition to him and Luo Qian standing at the bow, there were six foundation-building cultivators standing behind them, all of whom were disciples of Luo Qian's Huoyu Peak.

Two of them had fought with Xia Daoming before.

One was Luo Qian’s only daughter, Luo Mu, and the other was Luo Qian’s registered disciple, Jia Shaoxuan.

In the past, Jia Shaoxuan tried to stand up for his cousin Zhong Meng, but was suppressed by Xia Daoming. For this reason, he later went to bring up Luo Mu, who happened to have some grudges against Xia Daoming.

But now, thirty years have passed, and one of them has still completed the foundation building stage, while the other has only broken through from the early foundation building stage to the middle foundation building stage.

However, his status changed from a registered disciple to a direct disciple.

As if sensing the glance from Xia Daoming, Luo Mu and Jia Shaoxuan both lowered their heads subconsciously, feeling indescribably complicated.

Once upon a time, they still looked down upon Xia Daoming with their status and cultivation. Even though they were defeated later, they were still holding their breath in their hearts, determined to defeat him in the future.

But now, the events of the past seemed to be still vivid in their minds. He had already become a Jindan elder. Not only did his cultivation strength completely crush them, but according to the rules of the sect, he was also one generation higher than them.

Compared with his daughter and disciples, Luo Qian also had mixed feelings.

"I never thought that I would be traveling to the Killing Cave and the Desolate Ruins with Elder Luo this time!" Xia Daoming seemed to have sensed something, and sighed leisurely as he looked into the distance.

Luo Qian's skinny face twitched a few times when he heard this. He felt more and more complicated and remained silent for a long time.

He was over 400 years old and had already completed the service period required by the sect.

If he had not been trying to reach the late Jindan stage in recent years and his daughter had not failed three times in a row, not only did he spend all his savings but he even owed a lot of debts, why would he, at such an old age, take a group of disciples to such a miserable place as the Killing Cave and the Desolate Ruins to carry out missions?

It’s all about paying off debts!
Of course, Luo Qian would never say this.

At least he wouldn't say that to Xia Daoming, a guy he once regarded as a junior.

"I didn't expect that you would become a Jindan elder so quickly, and you chose the Killing Cave and Youhuang Ruins for your first service. You are really brave!" After a long time, Luo Qian finally spoke.

"What courage is commendable? I just have no choice! My master has been in poverty for many years, so naturally, a tough job like this that no one is willing to do is assigned to a new Jindan elder like me who has no strong backing!" Xia Daoming said with a miserable look on his face.

Luo Qian looked up at the sky in silence after hearing this!
His master was too aggressive back then, which made him feel depressed.

This kid wasn't as aggressive as his master, but his low-key and humble words and appearance made Luo Qian feel upset.

Luo Qian even had the urge to kick him off the flying boat.

With the current momentum of Tianjian Peak, there is no point in it being in such a state of decline!

I seriously suspect that you are implying something to me!
“With Elder Luo’s cultivation and qualifications, he actually personally led a group of disciples to the Slaughter Cave and the Desolate Ruins. He is truly a role model for all the elders. I sincerely admire him.” Xia Daoming quickly changed his tone and said with admiration.

"Hmph, do you really admire me?" Luo Qian finally couldn't bear it anymore and looked at Xia Daoming with eyes as sharp as knives.

"I naturally really admire Elder Luo for his efforts in the sect. My master once told me that although Elder Luo is a little narrow-minded, he is absolutely loyal to the sect. Now it seems to be true." Xia Daoming said with a serious face.

"Hmph, does your master have a very broad mind?" Luo Qian said with disdain, and his gaze towards Xia Daoming softened unconsciously.

"As a disciple, I dare not comment on the affairs of my master. Elder Luo had better not talk about my master in front of me, lest everyone be unhappy." Xia Daoming said.

"Damn it, it's ok that he couldn't beat your master when he was young. But now that he's down and out, he actually cultivated a freak like you. It's really frustrating to compare yourself to others!" Seeing Xia Daoming defending Zuo Dongge, Luo Qian felt indescribable jealousy and envy in his heart, and couldn't help cursing.

Hearing his father's scolding, Luo Mu's face suddenly turned pale.

Although Jia Shaoxuan and others did not react so strongly, they all lowered their heads in shame.

Seeing this, Xia Daoming sighed secretly, but was unable to say anything.

After Luo Qian vented his anger, his mood inexplicably improved.

Soon, he ordered people to put a table on the flying boat, and also ordered people to put out tea and snacks, and then he actually pulled Xia Daoming over to drink tea and chat.

The person who served tea to Xia Daoming was none other than Jia Shaoxuan, who had ignored him back then.

A few days later, the flying boat arrived at a mountain thousands of feet high.

There is a turbulent river rushing around the foot of the mountain. It is the Jiujiao River that separates the Great Xuan Territory and the Kun Kingdom.

Dark clouds rolled over the mountains and the sun was not visible all day.

There is a mountain city built halfway up the mountain.

The mountain city is divided into inner and outer cities.

In addition to many houses and buildings, the outer city also has a market town with various stalls, which is quite bustling with people coming and going.

The inner city is just the opposite. Apart from an ancient black stone palace in the center and six palaces scattered around the stone palace in an arch-like shape, there are no other buildings.

In the huge inner city, apart from the guards and patrolling monks, there are rarely any people coming and going, and it seems empty.

“The city below is Wusha City! There is a teleportation array in the inner city that can be used to teleport to the Slaughter Cave and the Dark Ruins. People like us can only enter through the teleportation array.

However, if a Nascent Soul cultivator is willing to sacrifice his mana, he can use his great mana to forcibly break through the relatively weak space wall covered by the dark clouds above and enter the Slaughter Cave's Dark Ruins."

Standing on the flying boat, Luo Qian pointed downwards.
