I conquer the immortal with my strength.

Chapter 706 Dan Cheng
In the blink of an eye, Xia Daoming had been refining pills for seven days and seven nights.

On this day, golden light suddenly shot into the sky from the main hall of Xiaolang Mountain.

The golden light not only exuded a rich vitality, but also faintly emitted Daoist sounds, making it incredibly mysterious.

The Azure Feather Eagle King, who was comprehending the Great Dao in the Guardian Beast Hall, suddenly opened his eyes, and in a flash, he flew out of the hall and stood in front of it, looking towards the Sect Leader Hall with a face full of shock and disbelief.

He had cultivated for a long time and possessed profound cultivation. He had the opportunity to meet the Golden Immortal before and even helped him with some things.

He was deeply moved by the aura of the Golden Immortal.

Within this golden light, he could faintly sense the aura of a Golden Immortal.

How can this be?

It is impossible for anyone from the Qingyuan Sect to reach the Golden Immortal Path in the short term.

Even he has only just glimpsed the path to becoming a Golden Immortal thanks to the guidance of the sect leader. To truly embark on the Golden Immortal path, unless he has the assistance of extremely precious elixirs, the few hundred years he has left will most likely not be enough.

Of course, compared to before, the hope is much greater now!

The Azure Feather Eagle King was already very satisfied and grateful, his heart filled with fighting spirit and aspirations.

Just as the Azure Feather Eagle King was shocked, dark clouds covered the sky above the hall, suppressing the golden light and preventing it from breaking through the clouds.

"Those are the Netherworld Ghost Fire Divine Weapon and the Myriad Immortal Banner of the Sect Master! What is this for? Why suppress that golden light?" The Azure Feather Eagle King wondered.

The golden light lingered for a long time before dissipating.

Lord Youming Yan put away the Myriad Immortal Banner and returned to the Sect Leader's Hall.

Inside the main hall, the alchemy furnace had already been opened.

Inside, there were actually three magic pills lying there, dripping clean.

This elixir is crystal clear, with nine golden rays flowing and changing within it, seemingly concealing profound changes in the Heavenly Dao. Moreover, sometimes the nine golden rays converge together, even revealing the shape of a fetus.

"This is the Nine Profound Golden Embryo Pill! It's truly mysterious, so incredibly mysterious!" Zhongli Shuyun stared at the three immortal pills in the cauldron, replaying the seven days and seven nights of pill refining in her mind. Gradually, her eyes grew brighter and brighter, as if she had seen through some profound mystery.

"It seems that you've gained something, Auntie!" Xia Daoming said with a smile.

"What a great gain! What a great gain! Not only have I gained a great understanding of the art of alchemy, but I have also come to understand the true meaning of the Tenth Stage!" Zhongli Shuyun exclaimed excitedly.

After saying this, she was about to bow to Xia Daoming to express her gratitude.

Xia Daoming quickly raised his hand to stop her, and smiled, "Auntie, you've worked hard these past few days. Now that you've made some progress, you should return to your cave as soon as possible and strike while the iron is hot!"

"I respectfully obey the sect leader's decree, and I will take my leave now!" Zhongli Shuyun bowed slightly and took her leave.

After Zhongli Shuyun left, Xia Daoming gave an order to the Azure Feather Eagle King.

Soon, the Azure Feather Eagle King entered the hall to pay his respects.

A golden light flashed in Xia Daoming's eyes, and he noticed that the flow of energy within the Azure Feather Eagle King's body had changed. He couldn't help but show a hint of joy and said, "Not bad, not bad. It seems that you have already begun to understand the path to becoming a Golden Immortal."

"I owe my success to the teachings and guidance of the Sect Master, which is why I am who I am today!" King Cangyu Eagle said with humility and gratitude.

Xia Daoming smiled noncommittally, then looked him up and down and said, "With your solid foundation, if you had glimpsed the path to becoming a Golden Immortal a few hundred years earlier, you would have had a great chance to step into the Golden Immortal path step by step. Now that you only have a few hundred years left, your chances are much smaller."

"This disciple is already very content!" the Azure Feather Eagle King said hastily.

Xia Daoming smiled and said, "You are content, but I am not. My Qingyuan Sect has a shallow foundation in the Immortal Realm. To establish a firm foundation, the disciples in the sect must grow up as soon as possible. It is not possible without the protection of Golden Immortals."

As they spoke, under the puzzled gaze of the Azure Feather Eagle King, Xia Daoming flipped his hand, revealing a pill bottle.

The elixir bottle floated towards the Azure Feather Eagle King.

The Azure Feather Eagle King hurriedly caught it with both hands.

"You have not disappointed me. You are a promising talent. Today, I will lend you a hand and give you a Nine-Mysterious Golden Embryo Pill to help you embark on the path to becoming a Golden Immortal as soon as possible."

"Nine...Nine Profound Golden Embryo Pill!" Upon hearing this, the Azure Feather Eagle King's hands trembled uncontrollably, and he stammered as he spoke.

He never dreamed that being suppressed by the Qingyuan Sect Leader would not be a disaster, but a series of great opportunities! "Disciple thanks the Sect Leader for his generous gift, and will certainly live up to your expectations!" After a while, the Azure Feather Eagle King finally came to his senses, held the pill bottle in both hands, and respectfully bowed three times to Xia Daoming.

Xia Daoming accepted the three bows without hesitation, and then specifically asked the Azure Feather Eagle King if he had any questions about his cultivation and enlightenment over the past few days.

The Azure Feather Eagle King was puzzled and took the opportunity to ask for guidance.

Xia Daoming explained everything in detail, and the Azure Feather Eagle King suddenly understood. He bowed in gratitude again before taking his leave and returning to the Dharma Protector's Mansion to prepare for taking the Nine Profound Golden Embryo Pill and attempting to break through to the Golden Immortal Path.

The Azure Feather Eagle King's attempt to break through to the Golden Immortal Path is crucial to the recent development of the Qingyuan Sect. Xia Daoming attaches great importance to this and decides to stay in Xiaolang Mountain to take the opportunity to further improve his strength, which will make it more likely for him to steal the Three Lights Divine Water from the Chijiang Dragon Palace.

There is no time to practice.

In the blink of an eye, Xia Daoming had been in seclusion on Xiaolang Mountain for ten years.

Ten years is but a fleeting moment for other high-level True Immortals, not worth mentioning.

But for Xia Daoming, who was only half a step away from entering the tenth level of the realm, it was enough for him to enter the eleventh level.

Under Xia Daoming's careful guidance, Xiao Xuan and Lu Ziying, a married couple, both entered the Twelfth Stage of the Daoist Realm.

The power of the Heavenly Court in Suiyuan Prefecture was very weak.

Of the 108 prefectures, more than half of the prefectures did not have government offices or military garrisons of the Heavenly Court.

Although Langming County had the Heavenly Court's administrative offices, the City God Pavilion, and the Commandant Army stationed there, its strength was weak. Most of the county was occupied by various forces and was not under the control of the City God Pavilion.

Some powerful forces, not only beyond the control of the City God Pavilion, even dared to attack and plunder the Medicine Mountain mine directly under the Heavenly Court, and kill Heavenly Court soldiers and generals.

For example, the Azure Hawk Demon King relied on the Azure Feather Eagle King as his backer, and he didn't even put the City God and the Provincial Inspector General in his eyes. He even dared to surround and kill their daughters.

However, because the Heavenly Court of Suiyuan Prefecture was weak, and the local Heavenly Court offices and garrisons were all acting independently, they had no spare capacity to provide assistance to other places. Therefore, although Xiao Xuan and Lu Ziying wanted to reorganize Langming County, they dared not act rashly due to their own strength and lack of external support. They could only try their best to defend the county city and some medicinal mountains and mines around the county city.

However, the situation has changed now.

Xiao Xuan and his wife have already broken through to become Twelve True Immortals, making them top experts in Langming County.

Moreover, they are now backed by the Qingyuan Sect.

They have nothing to fear as long as the other party doesn't have a Golden Immortal background.

Therefore, after Xiao Xuan and his wife reached the Twelve Realms, they began to raise troops to launch attacks in various places.

Firstly, to restore peace and tranquility to Langming County; secondly, to hone oneself, the disciples of the Qingyuan Sect, and the troops under one's command; and thirdly, to gather cultivation resources.

The sect leader had already given them too much in the early stages and cultivated them.

Next, they will naturally have to find a way to be self-sufficient and give back to the leader.

The vast Qingyuan Sect cannot simply rely on its leader alone.

In just a few years, Xiao Xuan and his wife led their army to pacify most of the eastern part of Langming County.

A steady stream of cultivation resources were transported to the county town, while rare and precious cultivation resources were selected and sent to Langming Mountain to be stored in the Qingyuan Sect's treasury.

During the campaigns, Xiao Xuan and other disciples of the Qingyuan Sect would occasionally discover promising talents. After careful consideration, they would first recruit them as outer disciples to observe their future performance.

We have the resources, the territory, and the people.

In just a few years, the Qingyuan Sect finally established some foundation in the Earthly Immortal Realm.

Xia Daoming took all of this in and felt quite gratified.

This day.

Xia Daoming was cultivating in his cave when he suddenly sensed an unusual energy fluctuation.

　That concludes today's update.
