Shengui Changsheng: Start from Zhenwuwei and add some points to cultivate immortality

The main hall of the sect.

At this moment, the atmosphere was tense and ready to fight.

In the center of the hall stood an old man dressed in black robes with a sinister face. Thick poisonous mist swirled around him, his aura cold and powerful; he was none other than the Valley Master of Poison Dragon Valley—Poison Dragon Immortal.

Behind him stood Du Danzi and seven or eight Foundation Establishment stage disciples of Poison Dragon Valley.

Above the main hall, the sect leader sat solemnly, his expression grave. On either side were several Golden Core stage elders from the sect, including the white-haired old woman he had warned before.

"If your sect insists on protecting that brat, then my Poison Dragon Valley will have no choice but to resolve this by force," Poison Dragon Master said coldly.

The sect leader said in a deep voice, "Valley Master of Poison Dragon Valley, Fu Shaoping is a disciple of our sect. If he truly possesses the inheritance of the Pill God, it should belong to our sect. What right does your Poison Dragon Valley have to try and seize it?"

Poison Dragon Master sneered, "On what grounds? On the grounds that the inheritance was discovered first by my disciple, Poison Pill! If that brat hadn't cheated, the inheritance would have been Poison Dragon Valley's long ago!"

Du Danzi nodded repeatedly from the side: "Yes, yes, yes! That Fu Shaoping is despicable and shameless. He took advantage of my unpreparedness and stole the inheritance!"

As soon as the words were spoken, a faint voice came from outside the hall:

"Really?"

Everyone turned to look.

Fu Shaoping, dressed in a blue robe, slowly walked into the main hall.

His steps were unhurried, and his gaze was calm as still water, as if he were facing not a mid-stage Golden Core expert, but an insignificant passerby.

When Du Danzi saw him, a glint of resentment and triumph flashed in his eyes: "It's him! He's the one who stole my inheritance!"

Poison Dragon Master's eyes flashed like lightning as he stared intently at Fu Shaoping: "Boy, hand over the inheritance, and I might spare your life."

Fu Shaoping looked at him and suddenly smiled.

"Valley Master of Poison Dragon Valley, you keep saying that your disciple discovered the inheritance first, but do you have any evidence?"

Du Danzi exclaimed urgently, "Of course it is! I personally saw you enter the Pill God Palace in the secret realm! The inheritance must be inside!"

Fu Shaoping nodded: "Oh, I did enter the Pill God Palace."

The crowd was in an uproar.

Poison Pill was even more smug: "Look, he admitted it!"

Fu Shaoping continued, "But the inheritance wasn't something I got from the Pill God Palace."

Du Danzi was taken aback: "What do you mean?"

Fu Shaoping said calmly, "There is no inheritance in the Pill God Palace. There is only a remnant soul of the Pill Demon that has been sealed for ten thousand years."

Everyone was stunned by these words.

Fu Shaoping continued, "That Pill Demon tried to possess me, but I countered him. Before he died, he passed on his legacy to me. The true legacy of the Pill God is in the thatched hut behind the Pill God Hall, and it was personally passed on to me by an old man who has long since passed away."

He took out a jade slip from his robes and held it in his palm: "This is part of the Pill God's inheritance. If the Valley Master does not believe it, he can verify it himself."

A glint of greed flashed in the eyes of the Poison Dragon Master, and he reached out to take it.

Fu Shaoping put the jade slip away and said calmly, "However, if the Valley Master wants to inherit the legacy, he must first answer one question for me."

Poison Dragon Master's face darkened: "What's the problem?"

Fu Shaoping looked him straight in the eye: "What makes you think you're qualified to take it?"

The main hall fell into a deathly silence in an instant.

Everyone stared at Fu Shaoping in disbelief.

How dare a Foundation Establishment cultivator, only at the mid-stage, say such things to the Poison Dragon True Man, who is at the mid-stage Golden Core stage?!
Poison Dragon Master's face turned ashen, and poisonous mist surged around him: "Boy, you're courting death!"

The sect leader suddenly stood up, about to stop him, but Fu Shaoping raised his hand to stop him.

Fu Shaoping looked at Poison Dragon Master, a faint smile playing on his lips.

"Valley Master, don't you want to inherit the legacy? Fine, I'll give you a chance."

He raised his hand, and a soft white light appeared in his palm.

"I will neither dodge nor evade this palm strike, allowing you to deliver a full-force blow. If you can withstand this strike without injury, the inheritance will be yours."

"If you can't catch it..."

His gaze suddenly turned cold:
"Get out of the sect and never set foot here again!"

The entire venue was deathly silent.

Poison Dragon Master was stunned for a moment, then laughed wildly, "Hahaha! What an arrogant brat! You, a mere mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator, dare to challenge me?! Very well! I will grant your wish!"

He flashed and instantly appeared in front of Fu Shaoping, striking down with a palm!
That palm strike contained the essence of his lifelong poison skills. The poisonous mist solidified into a ferocious poisonous dragon, which devoured Fu Shaoping!

Mid-stage Golden Core cultivator, unleashing a full-force attack!
The sect leader's expression changed drastically, and he was about to make a move to help, but it was already too late.

A cruel smile appeared on Du Danzi's face.

Everyone believed that Fu Shaoping was doomed.

however--

"boom!"

A loud bang!
Poison Dragon Master's palm struck the soft white light in Fu Shaoping's palm.

Then, he froze.

Because the white light remained completely still.

His powerful strike, capable of splitting mountains and shattering rocks, landed on that ball of white light, but it was like a mud ox sinking into the sea, without stirring up the slightest ripple.

Fu Shaoping looked at him, his gaze calm as still water.

"Lord of Poison Dragon Valley, you have lost."

As soon as he finished speaking, the white light trembled slightly.

A force even more vast, gentler, yet more irresistible than the full-force attack of the Poison Dragon Master surged forth from the white light, instantly blasting the Poison Dragon Master away!

"boom!"

Poison Dragon Master crashed heavily into a pillar in the main hall, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and fell to the ground in a sorry state.

The entire room fell silent.

Everyone stood frozen in place, like statues.

That's the power to severely injure a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator in one blow!

Fu Shaoping withdrew the white light and slowly walked towards the Poison Dragon Master.

The Poison Dragon Immortal stared at him, his eyes filled with shock and fear: "You... what kind of sorcery is this?!"

Fu Shaoping looked down at him and said calmly, "This is not sorcery. This is the 'Protective Pill Light' from the Pill God's inheritance. Did you think the Pill God's inheritance only taught people how to refine pills?"

He shook his head: "The ultimate Dao of alchemy can heal or kill. It can also lead to unparalleled combat power. It's just a pity you'll never have the chance to know."

He turned and walked out of the hall.

He stopped at the door without turning his head.
"Remember your promise. Get out of the sect and never set foot here again."

Master Poison Dragon's face turned pale and then red. Finally, supported by a group of Poison Dragon Valley disciples, he slunk away from the main hall.

Inside the hall, all was still deathly silent.

After a long while, the sect leader took a deep breath, looked in the direction where Fu Shaoping had disappeared, and murmured:
"Who exactly is this kid...?" After the people from Poison Dragon Valley slunk away, the sect's main hall fell into a long silence.

Fu Shaoping had long since returned to his courtyard on Qingzhu Peak, but his name was repeatedly mentioned in every corner.

"Just who exactly is this Fu Shaoping?"

"Mid-Foundation Establishment stage, severely injuring Poison Dragon True Man in mid-Golden Core stage with a single blow? This is outrageous!"

"I heard it's the inheritance of the Pill God... Is that inheritance really that powerful?"

"It's more than just inheritance! Didn't you see the look in his eyes? He looked at a Golden Core cultivator like he was an ant! I've never seen that kind of look on any of my Golden Core elders!"

There was much discussion and speculation.

At this moment, on Green Bamboo Peak, Fu Shaoping was sitting in the courtyard, brewing a pot of tea.

The aroma of tea wafted through the air, the bamboo leaves rustled softly—everything was as usual.

Outside the courtyard, a figure drifted in.

She was that white-haired old woman—one of the sect's elders, whose Daoist name was "Yunhe".

Fu Shaoping stood up and bowed: "Elder Yunhe."

Yunhe nodded slightly, sat down opposite him, and looked at him with deep eyes.

"Fu Shaoping, do you know how much trouble today's events will cause in the sect?"

Fu Shaoping poured her a cup of tea and said calmly, "I know."

"Knowing this, you still act so arrogantly?" Yun He's gaze was like lightning. "That Pill God inheritance is something even I'm tempted by. Do you think the other elders, or even the sect leader, would remain unmoved?"

Fu Shaoping picked up his teacup and took a small sip: "Elder, did you come today to persuade me to hand over the inheritance?"

Yunhe shook his head: "No, I'm here to remind you."

Fu Shaoping looked up.

Yunhe continued, "The inheritance of the Pill God is precious, but with your strength, you can't protect it. Today, you were able to intimidate True Person Poison Dragon because of the power of the Pill Light, not your own cultivation. That Pill Light can only be used once, right?"

Fu Shaoping was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Elder, you have keen insight. That radiance was the residual power of the Pill God that I condensed using a secret method in the Pill Mystic Realm. It can only be used once."

A hint of approval flashed in Yunhe's eyes: "You were able to tell the truth, which shows that you are a smart person. In that case, you should understand that more people will covet your inheritance. Within the sect, outside the sect, and even those reclusive old monsters may make a move."

Fu Shaoping remained calm: "Elder, did you come here today to help me?"

Yunhe smiled, a hint of kindness in his smile: "I, Yunhe, have no children or disciples in my life. I find you pleasing to the eye and wish to take you as my disciple. If you are willing, from now on, I will be your support."

Fu Shaoping looked at her, his gaze shifting slightly.

Elder Yunhe, a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator, holds a transcendent position within the sect. She is said to be on good terms with the sect leader and never participates in factional struggles. Becoming her disciple would indeed guarantee a stable position within the sect.

But he didn't agree immediately. Instead, he asked, "Why would the elder help me?"

Yunhe was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Because I see the shadow of someone in you."

"Who?"

“My senior brother.” A complex emotion flashed in Yunhe’s eyes. “He was also a person of extraordinary talent, who became famous throughout the world at a young age. Unfortunately, he was too sharp and did not know how to restrain himself, and in the end… he died because of someone else’s scheme.”

She looked at Fu Shaoping: "You are very much like him. I don't want to see you follow in his footsteps."

Fu Shaoping remained silent.

After a long while, he stood up and bowed solemnly: "Disciple Fu Shaoping greets Master."

Yunhe smiled, his smile full of satisfaction.

……

After becoming an apprentice, Fu Shaoping's life underwent subtle changes.

Elder Yunhe personally intervened and declared at the sect's elders' meeting that Fu Shaoping was her personal disciple, and no one was allowed to covet his inheritance. With this mid-stage Golden Core elder in charge, those who were plotting something were temporarily silenced.

But Fu Shaoping knew that this was only temporary.

He needs to improve his skills as soon as possible.

In the days that followed, he cultivated under Yunhe's guidance while continuing to study the inheritance of the Pill God and the Pill Demon.

Yunhe's path of cultivation differs from his past life's experience, leaning towards "following the natural way," emphasizing conforming to the laws of heaven and earth, without forcing or clinging to anything. This is completely opposite to Fu Shaoping's consistent approach of "controlling the rules with the power of contracts."

At first, he thought the two paths would conflict with each other. But gradually, he discovered that Yunhe's path could make up for the shortcomings of his path in his previous life.

“You’re too obsessed with ‘control’,” Yunhe often said when giving him pointers. “The ways of heaven are unpredictable. Contracts can bind people, but they are ultimately man-made. The true strongman does not try to control the rules, but rather to follow them, or even… become a part of them.”

Fu Shaoping seemed to be deep in thought.

He compared Yunhe's teachings with the records in "The General Outline of Contracts" and gained a deeper understanding of the way of contracts.

A year later, his cultivation level broke through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

Another year has passed, and the foundation building has been completed.

In the third year, he began preparing to form his core.

……

The formation of the Golden Core is the second greatest obstacle on the path of cultivation, second only to the formation of the Nascent Soul.

Unlike Foundation Establishment, Core Formation requires not only the accumulation of spiritual energy, but also a profound understanding of one's own path. The Golden Core is the culmination of a cultivator's lifelong learning and enlightenment, determining how far they can go on their future journey.

Fu Shaoping chose to form his core on Green Bamboo Peak.

Yunhe personally protected him, setting up numerous restrictions.

"There are three stages to forming the core: condensing Qi, gathering the spirit, and forming the core," Yunhe instructed. "Condensing Qi is easy, gathering the spirit is difficult, and forming the core is dangerous. You must remember that no matter what you encounter, you must not waver in your resolve."

Fu Shaoping nodded, sat down cross-legged, and closed his eyes.

Within his dantian, the sea of ​​qi that had been condensed during the Foundation Establishment stage began to spin wildly.

Countless streams of liquid spiritual energy were compressed and condensed as they spun, gradually forming a vortex the size of a fist. At the center of the vortex, a faint golden light began to flash.

That was the prototype of the Golden Elixir.

Condensing Qi, successfully passed.

However, just as he began to concentrate his mind and prepare to formally complete the elixir, a sudden change occurred!
A massive, malicious intent suddenly invaded his mind without warning!

"Fu Shaoping...you...are finally...about to form your core..."

That voice, cold and venomous, belonged to Danmo!
Fu Shaoping was shocked: "Danmo? Didn't you already disappear?!"

"Dissipate?" The Pill Demon laughed wildly. "I have cultivated for ten thousand years, how could I dissipate so easily? What remains in the Pill God Palace is merely a fragment of my soul! My true soul has been lurking deep within your sea of ​​consciousness, waiting for this very moment!"

Fu Shaoping's expression changed slightly.

He never expected that Danmo would have a backup plan!
"Hahaha!" Danmo laughed loudly, "You think you've obtained my inheritance? Hidden within that inheritance is a wisp of my original soul! When you cultivated the inheritance, my original soul quietly merged into your sea of ​​consciousness! Today, as you form your core, it is the perfect opportunity for me to seize your body!"

Before he finished speaking, that immense will began to frantically erode Fu Shaoping's soul!

"Give up the resistance! Merge with me, and you will possess my ten thousand years of cultivation! Golden Core? Nascent Soul? Deity Transformation? None of that matters!"

"I'm going to have your body!"

Fu Shaoping's sea of ​​consciousness was instantly engulfed in a monstrous wave!
The demon's true soul, like a giant black dragon, was frantically tearing at and devouring his divine soul! He felt his consciousness gradually becoming blurred!

"Fu Shaoping!" Yun He's exclamation came from outside, but due to the Core Formation barrier, her voice was muffled as if through a thick curtain of water. (End of Chapter)
