Starting with warding off evil and disaster, one can ascend to immortality after countless tribulati

Frowning, Zhou Yi sighed, took the mental cultivation manual from Jiang Ming, and without looking at it closely, a touch of emotion welled up in his heart.

"You little rascal, even at a time like this, you still have to push your grandpa a bit."

Very well, I wasn't wrong about you. You're a grateful and good child. In that case, I'll give it a try.

I still have some savings in the storage pouch at my waist. Although there's not much left, it's enough for you to break through to the late stage of the Qi Absorption Realm.

Young man, if I am truly dead, there is no need for a grand burial. Just cremate my body with the fire from the furnace and scatter the ashes across the sky.

"It fulfills my regret that I could not see the vast world..."

After a few words, Zhou Yi went all out, carefully studying the mental cultivation method Jiang Ming handed him and silently circulating it through several cycles.

Alas!

A gasp escaped my lips!

As his mind became increasingly enlightened, Zhou Yi suddenly experienced a stroke of good fortune and attained enlightenment overnight.

All doubts about the Great Forest Wood Technique are now resolved!

"Hmm? I see! Hahaha, this is good stuff!"

"Wow, this is incredible! I've succeeded!"

As the powerful gust of air surged from the rooftop, Zhou Yi's breathing became increasingly steady.

Although his hair was still gray, his energy and spirit had increased more than tenfold.

Clenching his fists and feeling the immense spiritual power within his body, Zhou Yi quickly pressed for answers.

"Where did this opportunity come from? It's truly ingenious."

"This perfectly solves the problem of the Great Forest Tree's tendency to get lost. With this issue resolved, my attempt to switch cultivation methods will naturally succeed!"

Seeing that Zhou Yi had fully recovered, Jiang Ming felt much more confident.

Zhou Yi, who was at the eighth level of the Qi Refining Realm and in good condition, was under their protection.

No matter how many schemes and tricks Xu Youwei prepared, she could not escape death.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ming did not hide the truth and frankly revealed the origin of the cultivation technique: "I obtained it by chance from a cultivation secret realm."

A senior master created the Dharma Gate of Emptiness and took me as his disciple, instructing me to gather the imagery of the Five Elements' fruition levels, thereby establishing a foundation for Emptiness and Realization!

Raising an eyebrow, Zhou Yi felt that this matter was somewhat unbelievable, but he thought that he was able to get out of his predicament entirely thanks to this mental cultivation manual that had enlightened him.

For a moment, he couldn't help but smile, feeling great. "Since that's the case, why not give it a try? I understand both the imagery of the Great Forest Wood and the imagery of the Furnace Fire."

"I should be able to help. If the opportunity arises, I might even be able to climb a little higher and see the scenery of the Foundation Establishment stage."

"Grandpa, do you still have the Great Forest Wood Evil Spirit? Once I break through to the sixth rank and gain the ability to control it, could you please give it to me...?"

Jiang Ming scratched his head, looking slightly embarrassed. Meeting Zhou Yi's surprised gaze, he took out the ancient painting and told the truth.

"Actually, the kid is not a genius; his comprehension and natural talent are actually quite poor."

The reason he was able to quickly comprehend the "Small Furnace Fire Reaching Heaven Technique" was entirely due to the assistance of the willow wood evil spirit in the painting.

Zhou Yi was clearly stunned when he saw Jiang Ming reveal himself.

Coming to her senses, a hint of shock appeared in her eyes. "So that's how it is. In that case, you've been practicing dual cultivation with evil spirits?"

"You're really something, aren't you afraid of the backlash?"

"Don't worry, Grandpa, I can keep my mind focused and won't be affected."

Meeting Jiang Ming's frank gaze, Zhou Yi pondered for a moment but did not refuse. He looked at the body of Madam Zhou lying on the ground, lost in thought.

"Very well, now that I've broken through my cultivation, I no longer need Tao Niang. You should take good care of her body."

Although I have fallen out with Da Linmu, I can still suppress it.

Once you successfully break through to the late stage of the Qi Absorption Realm, we can work together to subdue it without any problem.

It should be able to help you with your cultivation then. You're not getting any younger, so take good care of yourself. Use Peach Maiden as a temporary measure.

"Once I break through to the next level, I'll go to the inner sect and find a suitable Daoist partner..."

Unexpectedly, Zhou Yi was so open-minded that he gave Tao Niang to him almost without hesitation.

Jiang Ming bowed respectfully, then changed the subject, his expression troubled, "Grandpa, someone is plotting against me. Would it be convenient for you to intervene now?"

"What's his cultivation level?" Thinking Jiang Ming had caused a major incident outside, Zhou Yi hesitated for a moment before immediately standing up to probe, "What's his strength? What's his background?"

Without hiding anything, Jiang Ming calmly explained the situation: "Around the mid-stage of the sixth rank, the specific background is uncertain."

The only thing the boy knew was that she was going to harm me.

His tense expression immediately relaxed.

Zhou Yi flicked his sleeve, his eyes filled with murderous intent. With a thought, his entire aura vanished from Jiang Ming's sight as if evaporated into thin air.

"Haha, I thought you'd messed with that old monster, turns out you're just a nobody."

"Don't worry, I'll kill as many of these blind scoundrels as there are. Lead the way, I'll kill him for you."

Having witnessed the extraordinary power of the Great Forest Tree firsthand, Jiang Ming's eyes immediately burned with fervor.

Instantly concealing all aura, this method is a hundred times more effective than the Hidden Leaf technique.

Once you've grasped the concept of fire in the furnace, the next thing you might do is cultivate the Great Forest Wood.

Jiang Ming picked up Tao Niang and put her into the ancient painting. He used the willow wood to nourish his body, and then pinched the sleeping little black snake in his arms and put it inside as well.

He then turned around, looked at Zhou Yi who was nowhere to be seen, and said cheerfully, "Grandpa, let's go."

Upon arriving at the alchemy room, Jiang Ming instructed one of his disciples to summon someone.

A moment later, dressed in a gauze dress, Xu Youwei gracefully approached with delicate steps.

Her clear eyes scrutinized Jiang Ming, a hint of disdain creeping into her heart.

waste!

He was so thirsty just a moment ago, but he finished so quickly. What a waste of such a handsome face.

With Zhou Yi in charge, Jiang Ming had no fear of Xu Youwei and spoke frankly, "What's the matter? Let's talk in my cave."

Nodding in agreement, Xu Youwei continued to probe as she set off, "I heard from Manager Wu that Manager Zhou isn't feeling well, is that true?"

Hide in the shadows, Zhou Yi glanced displeasedly at the alchemy room. He didn't rush to make a move, but silently followed behind Jiang Ming without making a sound.

Raising an eyebrow, Jiang Ming didn't deny it, and sighed, as if his heart was filled with countless sorrows.

"Sigh, there's nothing I can do. Switching to a different cultivation method is quite difficult. Why are you worried about that?"

With feigned gentleness, Xu Youwei spoke softly, feeling slightly relieved. She continued with a string of lies, "Isn't it because I'm worried about your situation?"

The Liu family already knows that Liu Xin died at your hands, and the Xu family also suspects me. They have been secretly investigating me all this time…”

Upon entering Jiangming Cave, Xu Youwei calmly took out a Gu worm from her long sleeve, preparing to make her move.

Suddenly, I felt a cold wind sweep past behind me, followed by an old voice with a hint of mockery.

"Little girl, the Myriad Laws Sect has never taught witchcraft."

Who sent you, and what is your purpose?

With eyes wide open as if she had seen a ghost, Xu Youwei was both shocked and frightened, and cold sweat immediately streamed down her smooth back.

Coming to her senses, she looked at the composed Zhou Yi and knew that there was no hope of escape. She decisively knelt down and crawled towards Jiang Ming in a delicate manner.

"Junior brother lied to me again, but I think you must have misunderstood. You know me, how could your senior sister bear to harm you..."
