I conquer the immortal with my strength.

Chapter 343 Change of mouth
"So that's how it is." Lu Ziying felt a little disappointed, but also inexplicably relieved.

"You haven't told me yet, what are the backgrounds of these four people?" Xia Daoming brought up the old topic again.

"I don't know either. It should not be a big deal. It just happened that they found out that I got two thousand-year-old Nine-bend Ginsengs. They were tempted by the money and chased me all the way." Lu Ziying replied.

"What? You got two thousand-year-old Nine-bend ginsengs!" Xia Daoming couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard that.

Three years ago, Xiao Hongyi gave Xia Daoming another twenty or thirty drops of thousand-year-old stalactite liquid, but Xia Daoming knew very well that unless Liu Qiaolian was extremely talented or had very good luck, those dozens of drops of thousand-year-old stalactite liquid would not be enough for Liu Qiaolian to practice the Golden Roc Sky Eye Technique.

But if the juice of two thousand-year-old ginseng plants is added, Xia Daoming believes there should be great hope.

"Yes." Lu Ziying quickly took out two brocade boxes and presented them with both hands.

Xia Daoming took it and opened it. Sure enough, there was a thousand-year-old ginseng with nine whiskers and nine knots inside. He couldn't help but feel very happy.

"I haven't seen you for more than five years. Not only have you improved your cultivation a lot, but you even helped me find two thousand-year-old Nine-bend Ginsengs. That's really good, really good!"

"Compared with you, uncle-master, Ziying is far behind. If uncle-master had not arrived in time this time, Ziying might have died here." Lu Ziying did not feel very happy when he heard this, but rather a little disappointed.

It was really because Xia Daoming's performance just now was so shocking that it made her feel that she was too inferior.

"Haha, there's no need to underestimate yourself. A mere Jindan early stage cultivator can already withstand the siege of two Jindan middle stage cultivators and two Jindan early stage cultivators. If this gets out, I don't know how many people will be shocked.

Moreover, judging from your progress, you should be able to break through and become a mid-stage Jindan cultivator in a few years. By then, with your talent and strong foundation, you will probably be able to rival a late-stage Jindan cultivator.

As for me, my path and methods are different from yours, so we can't compare them. But if we only talk about Qi Refining, with your talent, if I don't have a special opportunity, I'm afraid it would be good if I can catch up with you." Xia Daoming smiled and counseled.

After Xia Daoming said this, Lu Ziying immediately regained a lot of confidence and grinned, "I should be able to break through in the next two or three years."

"Oh, so fast?" Xia Daoming was surprised when he heard that.

The early and middle Jindan stages seem to be only separated by a small realm, but most Jindan cultivators are stuck in this small realm throughout their lives.

Only a small number of people with good opportunities or good talents can enter the middle stage of Jindan.

And it often takes decades or even hundreds of years to cross this small realm.

Even his master Zuo Dongge, who was extremely talented, took him 20 to 30 years to move from the early stage to the middle stage.

And Lu Ziying has only been in the elixir-forming stage for six years now. Even though she is extremely talented and her elixir is made with the help of the Four Symbols Pill, her true essence and magical power are extremely strong, but Xia Daoming was still very surprised to hear that she would be able to break through in another two or three years.

"Uncle Master, please look." Lu Ziying took out another brocade box and presented it with both hands.

Xia Daoming opened the brocade box, and saw inside was a bead that was entirely khaki in color, with mysterious lines wrapped around it, and exuding a pure and powerful aura.

This bead is obviously only the size of a broad bean, but it gives Xia Daoming the illusion of a towering mountain.

"This, this is the Earth Spirit Pearl!" Xia Daoming's heart trembled slightly and he blurted out.

"Hehe, Uncle-master, Ziying is pretty lucky, not only did he find the thousand-year-old Nine-bend Ginseng, but he also got an Earth Spirit Pearl. With the help of this pearl, Aunt-master Liu and I will hopefully make a breakthrough in the next few years." Seeing Xia Daoming's moved look, Lu Ziying couldn't help but reveal a hint of pride on his face.

"Although you are lucky, you must have suffered a lot and taken many risks in the past few years!" Xia Daoming looked at Lu Ziying, who was not a disciple but was better than a disciple, with a smug look on his face, and a trace of heartache surged in his heart.

"How can the hardships and dangers that Ziying has endured be compared with the hardships and dangers that you, uncle-master, have endured for us!" Lu Ziying said solemnly.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's find a place for you to heal your wounds first!" Xia Daoming patted Lu Ziying on the shoulder and said.

Half an hour later, a dark cloud landed in an uninhabited valley.

The dark clouds dispersed, revealing Xia Daoming and Lu Ziying.

As for the corpse, it was burned by a ball of fire from Xia Daoming on the way.

"You heal your wounds first, and I will protect you." After looking around the valley and finding a suitable place, Xia Daoming casually gave Lu Ziying a Tianyu Pill.

"Thank you, uncle-master!" Seeing that it was a Tianyu Pill that cost more than 100,000 low-grade spirit stones, Lu Ziying's heart trembled slightly, but he still took it with both hands, bowed slightly, and then obediently took the medicine and sat cross-legged to heal his wounds.

While Lu Ziying was taking medicine to heal his wounds, Xia Daoming, who had nothing to do, began to count the harvest.

After this inventory, Xia Daoming couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Not only did the magic weapons of the four people have very average quality, but they also carried very few cultivation resources with them. Even the four of them combined did not have as many as Qi Shilei alone.

The items Qi Shilei carried with him included not only top-grade spirit stones, but also an extinct soul-refining bead.

"No wonder Ziying said that these four people probably don't have any background. They look so shabby, it would be strange if they have any major background!" Muttering to himself, Xia Daoming gathered the four people's belongings and put them aside, preparing to reward them to Lu Ziying.

Tianyudan is very effective in healing wounds.

In just half a day, Lu Ziying's injuries were all healed. After this life-and-death battle, his true energy and magic power became more condensed, and his overall temperament also changed slightly.

"Yes, you are just like me, suitable for making breakthroughs in life-and-death battles. From today on, don't call me uncle-master, just call me master. I haven't accepted any disciples yet, so you will be my chief disciple." Xia Daoming keenly noticed the change in Lu Ziying, and suddenly an impulse arose in his heart, so he blurted out.

Lu Ziying was stunned when he heard this. "Why don't you want to?" Xia Daoming asked with a smile.

"Ah, no, no, disciple is willing! Disciple greets Master!" Lu Ziying's sturdy body shook violently, and immediately with a plop, he pushed the golden mountain, overturned the jade pillar, and kowtowed repeatedly.

When she raised her head, her face was already covered in tears.

Xia Daoming saw her as someone who was not his disciple but better than his disciple, and she, in the same way, saw him as someone who was not his master but better than his master.

It's just that Xia Daoming is too powerful, and no one knows how many favors he has given her. Xia Daoming didn't ask for it, but Lu Ziying didn't dare to ask for it and hope to become his disciple, but she didn't know how many times she had dreamed of it in her heart.

The reason why she wanted to go out and explore the world so badly was because she wanted to become strong, strong enough that one day she would be qualified to be his disciple.

Lu Ziying didn't expect that this surprise would come so suddenly and so early.

"Get up. Actually, you were not my disciple before, but you were better than my disciple. Now it's just a change of title." Xia Daoming felt a little sad when he saw such a strong girl in tears. He raised his hand slightly in the air and helped her up.

When Lu Ziying heard this, the tears that she had wiped away couldn't help but flow down again.

"I'll give all these to you." Xia Daoming couldn't bear to see others cry, so he threw the package he had just packed to Lu Ziying.

"Master, this..." Lu Ziying was so shocked that her tears stopped when she saw that the package contained four storage rings and several magic weapons.

These are the personal belongings of the four Jindan cultivators. The six magic weapons alone are a huge fortune.

"I don't lack these things, I'll give them all to you. After all, you are my chief disciple, so you still have to have some financial resources.

However, I have collected the thousand-year-old Nine-bend Ginseng, and I will ask your ancestor mother and others to refine the Earth Spirit Pill into Earth Spirit Pill after I return, and then give it to you and your master mother Liu." Xia Daoming said.

"The Thousand-Year-Old Nine-Curved Ginseng was originally given by disciples to honor their master. The Earth Spirit Pearl will definitely be used first to meet the needs of Master's wife for a breakthrough. The remaining will be distributed to disciples." Lu Ziying said respectfully.

"Okay, stop talking about filial piety. You know me. We are all family. We share the good and the bad. Just be more casual." Xia Daoming said with a smile and a wave of his hand.

"Yes, disciple understands." Lu Ziying bowed slightly to accept the instruction, and then asked with curiosity: "Master, why are you here?"

"I got some things a few days ago, which cannot be seen in the Great Xuan Territory. I want to take them to Linghe City to exchange for spiritual stones or some suitable spiritual medicines or other items. It just so happens that you have been in Kun Country for several years and should be more familiar with it. You can accompany me to Linghe City."

"Disciple obeys your command." Lu Ziying bowed and accepted the order.

Soon, the master and his disciple left the valley on the golden-winged eagle.

Linghe City is indeed a big city that is highly valued by the three major sects of Kun Kingdom.

The city walls are tall and the place is bustling with people coming and going. From time to time, you can see cultivators flying up and landing at the city gate, and then walking into the city, even Jindan cultivators are no exception.

According to Lu Ziying, in Linghe City, only the Nascent Soul ancestors can ignore the no-fly order.

As soon as Xia Daoming and Lu Ziying arrived in Linghe City, they went straight to Linghe Market built along the river.

The goods in the market are much richer than those in the Changqing City market under the Qingyuan Mountain. They have everything from what the Qi Refining cultivators need to what the Jindan cultivators need. Even the shops opened by the three major sects have things that the Nascent Soul cultivators need.

Of course, the things that Nascent Soul cultivators need are very few in number, and each item is priced sky-high, and some can only be exchanged for goods.

Xia Daoming was somewhat envious of the things that those Nascent Soul cultivators needed, and with his wealth he could now afford them.

But if he, a Jindan cultivator, were to buy things that a Yuanying cultivator needed, it would be hard not to attract attention!

And among them there must be a Nascent Soul ancestor!

Even though Xia Daoming was confident that he could fight against the Yuanying Patriarch now, he would not be so impulsive as to attract the Yuanying Patriarch's attention.

However, he failed to obtain the things needed by Nascent Soul cultivators, but Xia Daoming purchased a large number of elixirs that could help Golden Core cultivators consolidate and improve their cultivation.

In addition, Xia Daoming also purchased a lot of spiritual medicines that can strengthen the body and blood, as well as some spiritual medicines suitable for spiritual birds to take.

Once the blood beads of the four divine beasts are collected and the Zhongyuan Blood Palace is successfully cast, Xia Daoming will definitely need to replenish a large amount of qi and blood energy.

Plan ahead.

Xia Daoming must take advantage of the money he has on hand to buy and save as much as possible to avoid making last-minute purchases and missing the opportunity.

As for the latter, it was naturally prepared for the golden-winged eagle.

The Golden-winged Eagle is now at the middle level of level four. If it absorbs the spiritual energy of heaven and earth step by step, it is unknown when it will be able to break through.

If there is some magic medicine to help, it will definitely speed up the process.
