I conquer the immortal with my strength.

Chapter 733 Peripheral Forces, Nominal Disciples

After carefully examining the golden liquid that contained the power of the Great Dao, Xia Daoming put it away.

Then, he took stock of what he had gained from the trip.

The two Golden Immortals naturally carried a considerable amount of wealth with them.

A few days ago, Xia Daoming had almost exhausted all the high-grade immortal stones and blood-nourishing items he had accumulated over the years.

With his current cultivation level, the amount of high-grade immortal stones and various excellent tonics he needs daily is far greater than before.

Xia Daoming was already struggling financially, but now he is suddenly well-off again and will not have to worry about cultivation resources for a while.

"Not bad!"

Xia Daoming put away the storage ring, then played with the Blood River Blade and the Blood Realm Robe for a while before having the Netherworld Flame Lord refine them and store them in the Crimson Palace for nurturing.

After doing all this, Xia Daoming looked down and examined his right hand.

There are still some red and swollen marks on my right hand that haven't faded, and my finger bones are still a little sore.

As he gently stroked the red, swollen mark on his right hand with his left, Xia Daoming revealed a joyful and confident smile.

"The sixteenth-layered Ancestral Dragon Body is indeed capable of suppressing most of the Golden Immortals in the Condensation Realm with just its physical body! With such a powerful physical body, it should be able to contend with those ancient species in the fragmented lands of the Primordial World."
-
Two hours later.

Zhu Qiluo entered the cave to pay her respects to Xia Daoming and presented him with a list of what she had obtained.

"These are the spoils of war from this battle. Please take a look, sir. Before our ancestor departed, he instructed his disciples that all the spoils of war belong to our Qingyuan Sect," Zhu Qiluo said, her gaze towards Xia Daoming filled with gratitude and awe.

Xia Daoming glanced at the list, then put it away and said, "The Zhu family also contributed greatly to this battle. It's not appropriate for all the spoils to belong to my Qingyuan Sect. Let's wait until your ancestor returns before discussing the distribution. I need some medicinal herbs now, so please go and gather them for me."

Next, Xia Daoming provided Zhu Qiluo with a list of eleven medicinal materials needed to refine the Great Dao True Essence Pill.

Although these medicinal herbs are precious, they are not difficult to find.

Danxia Mountain has eight of these in its collection, and the other three should be easy to purchase by sending someone to the county town and spending more immortal stones.

a few days later.

Zhu Chixuan and Cangyu Eagle King returned to Danxia Mountain with half of the Zhu family's forces.

The other half of the Zhu family's forces are temporarily stationed at Blood Lake Ridge.

As for the precious resources accumulated over the long years of Blood Lake Ridge, they were naturally swept away by the Zhu family.

When Zhu Chixuan and his group returned to Danxia Mountain, Zhu Qiluo had also gathered all eleven medicinal herbs needed to refine the Great Dao True Essence Pill.

As soon as Zhu Chixuan returned to Danxia Mountain, he went to see Xia Daoming.

"Students bow in gratitude to teacher for saving my Zhu family from annihilation. The Zhu family of Danxia Mountain will never forget this kindness and gratitude. From now on, we will follow the lead of teacher and Qingyuan Sect!" Upon seeing Xia Daoming, Zhu Chixuan knelt down to express his gratitude.

These words came from the bottom of Zhu Chixuan's heart and were not without any insincerity.

In this battle, Gong Shasong had meticulously planned and concealed his mid-stage Dao Condensation cultivation beforehand. Had it not been for Xia Daoming's intervention, the Zhu family would have been wiped out. Moreover, Xia Daoming had been instrumental in guiding and enlightening him!
Xia Daoming's eyes flashed with golden light as he stared at Zhu Chixuan for a long time before stepping forward to help him up, saying, "Since you are grateful, I will grant you the title of a disciple! In the future, if your Zhu family has any disciples with excellent character and talent, they may also join my Qingyuan Sect!"

"Disciple pays respects to Master!" Zhu Chixuan was overjoyed and respectfully bowed three times to Xia Daoming.

Next, Zhu Chixuan presented Xia Daoming with a list of the wealth seized from Blood Lake Ridge for his review and confirmation.

Since the Zhu family had become one of the peripheral forces of the Qingyuan Sect, Xia Daoming naturally did not hesitate to reward them.

In any case, the Qingyuan Sect only has a few disciples now. They suddenly obtained resources from a Golden Immortal power that had been accumulating for countless years. They simply cannot digest and utilize them in a short period of time. It would be better to further cultivate and strengthen the Zhu family, so as to better assist the Qingyuan Sect in establishing a firm foundation in the Earthly Immortal Realm.

So Xia Daoming made a sweeping gesture, taking a 30/70 split in this battle.

Zhu Jiasan, Qingyuanjiaoqi.

The Zhu family escaped annihilation this time and gained a lot of resources. Zhu Chixuan was naturally extremely grateful and repeatedly thanked them.

“From now on, Zhu Qiluo can lead people to garrison Blood Lake Ridge and govern Zhangqi Central County!” Xia Daoming said.

"Reporting to the Master, our Zhu family has won a great victory in this battle. With the momentum of this victory, Zhu Qiluo will have no problem taking charge of Xuehu Ridge and governing Zhangqi County for a short period of time."

However, Zhangqi is ultimately a central prefecture, and it is difficult for anyone other than a Golden Immortal to truly intimidate it. Moreover, the Heavenly Court True Lord who is stationed in Qionghua Upper Prefecture, along with various Golden Immortal forces, will certainly not be willing to sit idly by and watch my Zhu family enjoy the vast Zhangqi Prefecture.

Therefore, in my opinion, this Zhangqi County still needs Senior Brother Cangyu to be stationed there in order to truly deter the covetous forces from all sides! Zhu Chixuan cautiously offered his suggestion upon hearing this.

Xia Daoming smiled slightly upon hearing this and said, "What if you become a Golden Immortal in the mid-stage of the Condensation Realm, and Zhu Qiluo also attains the Golden Immortal Dao?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Chixuan's body trembled violently, and he blurted out, "Then naturally it will deter all forces!"

But soon, Zhu Chixuan shook his head and said, "With Master's guidance, I have already glimpsed the true meaning of the mid-stage of the Dao Condensation Realm and am confident that I will be able to step into the mid-stage of the Dao Condensation Realm, but I am afraid it will take at least several hundred years. As for Qiluo, she will probably need even longer than me."

Xia Daoming smiled, flipped his palm, and a ball of golden liquid appeared in the air above his palm.

A trace of incredibly profound and pure Dao power emanated from the golden liquid, making the entire hall vibrant with life, and faint Dao sounds echoed.

"This...this is..." Zhu Chixuan was dumbfounded, he could hardly believe what he was seeing.

“That’s right, this is the power of the Great Dao that Gong Shasong has accumulated throughout his life! Under my persuasion, he automatically dispersed the divine soul consciousness that was fused into his primordial spirit!” Xia Daoming said with a smile.

"Master is truly a master, I admire you to the point of prostration!" Even with Zhu Chixuan's cultivation and experience, upon hearing these words, he couldn't help but reveal a look of fervent worship in his eyes.

That was a Golden Immortal who had gone through countless tribulations to attain the Great Dao. His Dao heart was so firm that he could persuade him to automatically disperse his divine soul and consciousness. How amazing must that be!

"Now that you're back, I'll start refining the Great Dao True Essence Pill today. You cultivate the Dao of Pill Furnace Fire, so you can assist me from the sidelines. Qi Luo can observe from the sidelines," Xia Daoming said with a smile.

"Thank you so much for your guidance and support, Master!" Zhu Chixuan was overjoyed upon hearing this.

This is the power of the Great Dao condensed by a Golden Immortal in the mid-stage of the Condensation Realm throughout his life, containing infinite mysteries and true meanings. With Zhu Chixuan's cultivation level, he would never have had the chance to even come into contact with it, let alone use it to refine immortal pills in his lifetime. But now he can personally participate in the pill refining. For him, this pill refining trip is definitely better than hundreds or thousands of years of sitting in meditation to comprehend the Dao.

As for Zhu Qiluo, there's no need to say more!
　That concludes today's update.
