The Path to Immortality: Starting with an Analysis of Basic Concepts

After a round of tempering.

The essence and blood of the "Tuyuren" transformed from murky yellow water into an earthy yellow color, becoming more than ten times purer, but it did not possess the "Jiaoren" bloodline that Zhu Yu desired.

Unsurprisingly, he combined the "fish-man" blood from a hundred test tubes into one tube, placed it back into the honeycomb hole, and turned on the machine.

soon.

The machine stopped vibrating.

Zhu Yu lifted the lid, took out the test tube, and examined it. He saw the warm yellow blood essence deposited at the bottom of the test tube. He raised his eyebrows slightly, opened the lid, filtered out the impurities, and swept it with his divine sense.

Under perception.

This "Tuyuren" bloodline has an extremely rich earth elemental spiritual aura and is of mid-grade first rank, but it still does not contain the aura of "Jiaoren".

Zhu Yu was not discouraged by this.

The fact that one can refine a mid-grade first-level bloodline shows that the "Tu Yu Ren" bloodline is not entirely useless.

Because its content was too small, it was not further refined. Instead, it manifested a bronze gate and threw the first-grade earth attribute bloodline in his hand into the "Source Sea". With a slight thought, the "Spirit Ruins Origin" consumed a small amount of earth element essence.

Not long after.

A streak of earthy yellow light flew out from the bronze door, landed on the ground, and manifested into a monster about six feet tall, with a lizard-like head, yellow eyes and sharp teeth, a human-like lower body, eagle-like claws, and a snake-like tail.

The monster regained consciousness and saw Zhu Yu and Lü Ling. It lay down on all fours, head on the ground, cheeks puffed out, and made a hissing sound, showing its submission.

Upon seeing the monster, Zhu Yu immediately recalled its information.

Their name is "Sharkman".

Belonging to a distant relative of the "Tuyuren", he is a mid-grade first-tier cultivator. Upon adulthood, he can awaken common spells such as "Sand Arrow" and "Earth Spike". His strength is average and he has no special characteristics.

"Sharkmen..."

Zhu Yu frowned, too lazy to even look at its attributes, and tossed it outside with a flick of his sleeve. With a slight thought, droplets of "Fishman" essence blood, resembling yellowish-brown turbid water, gathered together.

He turned to look at Green Spirit, who was staring blankly and doing nothing, and said irritably, "What are you looking at? Go and sort them out and put them into the machine."

"Yes, Master."

Green Spirit nodded, took out test tubes and divided the "Fishman" blood into individual portions. In no time, a hundred test tubes were filled, and the contents were placed into the honeycomb holes.

Close the lid and start the machine.

After a while.

The blood separation centrifuge has stopped working.

Without Zhu Yu's instruction, Green Spirit stepped forward, opened the lid, and with a surge of her thoughts, extracted all the test tubes from the honeycomb holes.

Unlike the previous blood essence, which was entirely yellowish-brown.

Two unusual samples were found in this "test tube": one was light gold and the other was light green.

"Metallic, poisonous..."

Zhu Yu raised his hand and took the two test tubes into his palm. After examining them, he noticed the bronze gate and sent them into the "Source Sea" to nurture them.

Not long after.

Two streaks of light, one gold and one green, flew out from the bronze door and landed on the ground.

It manifested as a monster about four feet tall, resembling the "Fishman" in six parts, with bronze skin, no tail, and looking like a little old man. Another monster, also resembling the "Fishman" in six parts, with skin like fish skin, fangs, tusks, and a fish-tail-like tail.

Zhu Yu was no stranger to these two monsters.

The former are "cave reptilians," and the latter are "sea reptilians," both of whom are distant relatives of the "doodling people."

"Take your time..."

After several trials, Zhu Yu realized that the bloodline of the "Tuyuren" was a hodgepodge, and tracing its origins would not be a matter of a short time.

After finishing his recitation, he flicked his sleeve and threw the two rather dim-witted creatures out of the laboratory. He then turned to look at Green Spirit beside him, a hint of regret flashing in his eyes.

If Green Spirit weren't a figment of imagination, he could extract its essence and blood, gaining two bloodlines of likely no lower than "Spirit Rank" for nothing.

With a slight shake of his head, Zhu Yu left behind the words "Keep an eye on the lab," and then his figure vanished in an instant.

Green Spirit stared at the spot where Zhu Yu had disappeared, looking puzzled for a while before coming to her senses. She looked around, conjured a mop with her spiritual power, and began cleaning the not-so-dirty laboratory little by little.

the other side.

Zhu Yu's main body was still watching the scene of the Great Yu Town Martial Guard fighting against the sea beasts with Bai Ze Zhenren and others, while his divided spirit carried the "mark" to the border of "Yongzhou".

The wait wasn't long.

The spirits of "Heavenly Principles" and "Righteous Spirit" arrived one after another.

Zhu Yu informed the two that he would be leaving the "Martial World" soon, and repeatedly told them to behave themselves in the coming days, especially to avoid being distracted by "Heavenly Principle" and not to do anything too outrageous, as people from "Flower Goddess Spirit Ruins" would be coming soon.

After speaking, he handed the "mark" to the two of them.

Instead of returning to his "Original Spirit Ruins," he concealed his alien aura, chose a direction, and quickly disappeared into the mountains, taking only a few feet at a time.

As night falls, the stars appear like a sea.

Zhu Yu appeared in Tongzhou, a county town called Yushan City, which borders Yongzhou.

The journey was as if no one was there.

His figure moved like a ghost, silently appearing in front of a room in the backyard of the Yushan City county government office, where candlelight filled the room. He leaned his head slightly closer, and through the window, he could see a handsome young man of about sixteen years old reading by lamplight.

Suddenly a gentle breeze swept by.

The boy's focused gaze suddenly became hazy. He yawned, slumped onto the table, and then with a thud, the maidservant who was holding the lamp beside him also collapsed to the ground.

The candlelight flickered.

A huge shadow slowly enveloped the boy's figure.

A short while later.

A soft murmur echoed, "Mage..."

……

The sun and moon revolve.

Seven days passed in the blink of an eye.

Yongzhou.

A barren hilltop.

A massive light screen stretched across the sky, divided into numerous images, each revealing a scene of mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

Zhu Yu sat cross-legged on a blue stone, staring at the screen displaying images of sea beasts that had lost at least half of their strength and were barely holding on to the "Zhenwu Guard," along with a significant decrease in both the number and quality of the sea creatures.

"It's almost over..."

According to the information given by the "Witch's Divination Crystal Ball", he will be leaving the "Martial World" in the next day or two.

"Finally, I can leave..."

Zhu Yu breathed a sigh of relief. He had achieved all his goals and now all he wanted was to return to the "Immortal Tomb and Spirit Ruins" safely.

After ten years of dedicated cultivation, he filled the area with the divine soul particles that supported the expansion of his "Natal Spiritual Ruins" to a radius of a thousand feet, found the "Underworld Land," traded enough "Yellow Spring Water," constructed the Dao landscape "Yellow Spring Road," opened up the "Second Natal Spiritual Ruins," and then broke through to the second level of Foundation Establishment.

At that time, the Dharma gate will be initially established.

He then gained some confidence in protecting himself and surviving.

Even if the "Immortal Tomb Spirit Ruins" is destroyed in the future, relying on the dual "Life Spirit Ruins", if there are no external enemies, he can remain in the "Heavenly Abyss" for a hundred years without destruction. If he is even more ruthless, and uses the Dao foundations of Hong Youfu and others to protect the "Life Spirit Ruins", he can extend it for at least another sixty years.

Of course, this comes at a high price.

Once the "Native Spirit Ruins" has no harbor to dock in, the resources used to resist the erosion of the Black Tide every day are a terrifying expense, making it extremely difficult to improve one's cultivation.

"I hope I'm just overthinking it..."

Zhu Yu shook his head slightly, suppressing his distracting thoughts, and looked around.

at this time.

Only he and Bai Ze Zhenren were on the hill. As for Jiu Shou, Lu Changsheng, Huang Shi, and others, they went to the Zhenwuwei and Hai Shou locations.

Just as he was preparing to meditate.

Suddenly, a soft "Eh" came from beside my ear.

Zhu Yu looked in the direction of the sound and saw Bai Ze Zhenren wave his sleeve to dispel the light barrier, revealing a bronze door, and step into it.

"Um?…"

Zhu Yu was taken aback, as if he had thought of something, and his expression changed slightly. "They've arrived..." Without thinking much, he manifested the bronze door and stepped inside.

Enter the "Foundation Building Realm".

All that could be seen was an endless expanse of green duckweed.

As if sensing something, Zhu Yu suddenly looked up and saw three great suns—one blue, one pink, and one gold—radiating terrifying radiation waves, faintly appearing in the depths of the void and darkness.

I only glanced at it.

He felt a massive amount of chaotic information being crammed into his mind in an instant, his thoughts and consciousness came to a standstill, and then everything went black.
