Yunmeng Immortal Clan

Song Daoxuan and Zhou Yuling were newlyweds, and naturally, they spent their days in tender intimacy.

However, gradually, their lives returned to normal. It is perfectly normal to have a Daoist partner on the path of cultivation.

However, the primary duty of cultivators remains to seek immortality. After enjoying his new marriage, Song Daoxuan devoted himself wholeheartedly to solitary cultivation.

In addition, Song Daoxuan opened up a brand new cave next to his own cave dwelling as his new home with Zhou Yuling.

The secret of the Ink Spirit Bamboo grove in his current cave, and the secret of how he cultivates spiritual plants using the Qi-Gathering Immortal Gourd, must never be known to a second person.

Even though Zhou Yuling has now become his Daoist partner, Song Daoxuan still doesn't want to reveal the secret.

He was able to get to where he is today entirely thanks to the help of the Qi-gathering gourd in his sea of ​​consciousness.

Without the Qi-Gathering Immortal Gourd, he couldn't even cultivate the so-called Mystic Ice Flower in excess, nor could he refine the Foundation Establishment Pill to successfully establish his foundation.

Since the Qi-Gathering Gourd was partially repaired, its efficiency in absorbing the Qi of dawn and moonlight has become terrifyingly high.

Its absorption of the morning glow and the moonlight produces rare celestial phenomena.

Fortunately, Song Daoxuan's cave was protected by an array. Even if some residual light escaped outside the array, most of the cultivators in the family would only guess that the strange phenomenon was caused by the alchemist of the family refining pills.

Furthermore, given Song Daoxuan's current status among the entire cultivation families, even if these family cultivators have some doubts, they wouldn't dare to investigate the matter further.

The principle of respecting the strong in the cultivation world still applies to cultivation families.

The Purple Dew from the Qi-Gathering Gourd has now accumulated to fifty or sixty drops.

Song Daoxuan then summoned the alchemy apprentices, Shouzhuo, Qingchen, and Churui.

"I intend to begin refining elixirs. You all must remember your duties as alchemy apprentices: cleaning the furnace and disposing of the dregs are entrusted to you!"

The three nodded. All three were mortals. Although they had spiritual roots, they were not exceptional. Even if they cultivated, they probably wouldn't be able to surpass the Qi Refining stage.

He could only become a disciple of alchemy.

Previously, the three of them had not been treated very well in the Smoke Cloud Boat and were often abused by human traffickers. In a sense, Song Daoxuan helped the three of them escape their suffering.

Actually, this was unintentional; Song Daoxuan simply needed a few alchemy apprentices.

The three of them have only been following Song Daoxuan for a short time, and the accumulated poison in their bodies has not yet become apparent.

However, as the poison from the pills accumulates in the bodies of these alchemy boys, it will seriously affect their lifespan.

However, the three children were unaware of these secrets. Their eyes still shone with a clear light, oblivious to the darkness of the cultivation world.

This time, Song Daoxuan refined some second-tier pills that he had refined before.

Having not refined pills for a long time, his alchemy skills had become somewhat rusty, and the success rate of pills had even decreased.

"My current alchemy skill level is probably at the mid-grade of the second tier. I can refine some pills like the Bigu Pill, the Five Elements Yuan Pill, and the Yuan-Enhancing Pill without any problem, but refining a high-grade second-tier pill like the Chaoyuan Pill is a bit of a stretch!"

The Enhancing Essence Pill can easily help cultivators in the early stages of Foundation Establishment overcome bottlenecks and reach the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment.

While the Enhancing Essence Pill can improve the cultivation of cultivators in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, the number of pills that can be consumed must be greatly increased.

For cultivators, elixirs are a powerful tool to break through bottlenecks. However, medicine is still medicine, and it contains lead and mercury. Taking too much of it will ultimately be harmful to cultivators.

However, once one breaks through to become a Core Formation cultivator, the Core Formation cultivator's inner fire can completely resist the effects of pill poison on the cultivator.

"Even if I can't refine the Chaoyuan Pill to improve my cultivation level right now, I still need to send cultivators to inquire about the remaining materials for refining the Chaoyuan Pill. If there is any news of leftover herbs or herb seeds in the cultivation world, we must obtain them."

After refining several batches of pills, more than a month had passed.

Within this month, Song Honghu and Jiang Shi once again traveled south to Cangli Island.

After a brief moment of tenderness with Song Daoxuan, Zhou Yuling set off back to Icewind Valley.

Only then did Song Daoxuan have time to calm down and do his own things.

"It's difficult to improve my cultivation level in the short term, and my methods at the Foundation Establishment stage are still somewhat weak..."

"The connection with the Azure Wood Divine Pearl is growing stronger. I have a premonition that the secret realm within the Azure Wood Divine Pearl is about to open. If I can cultivate to the late Foundation Establishment stage within this timeframe, then I will have a chance to obtain the opportunities within this secret realm!"

There are quite a few cultivators who know about the Green Wood inheritance and possess the so-called Green Wood Divine Pearl. With Song Daoxuan's strength, he does not hope to obtain the greatest opportunity in the Green Wood inheritance.

That cultivation technique, even more powerful than the Everlasting Life Force of the Green Wood, is the Eternal Evergreen Technique.

After all, the recipient of the Azure Wood Divine Pearl may very well be a Core Formation cultivator, and Song Daoxuan could not possibly gain any advantage from such a being.

If he's lucky enough to obtain even a scrap of material from the Green Wood inheritance, he'll likely benefit immensely.

"The biggest gain from the Heavenly Demon Cave was the items obtained from that lustful old demon. That Netherworld Ghost Hand was already an incredible killing move. Even though the lustful old demon is my enemy, I have to admit that he can be considered a powerful figure in the demonic path."

"To be able to create the secret technique of the Netherworld Ghost Hand is already a remarkable talent, but unfortunately, even a person of his stature was schemed against by his master and was forced to possess another's body..."

The letter from the Debauched Old Demon revealed that he was originally Xu Changyan's disciple.

As Xu Changyan's lifespan as a Foundation Establishment cultivator was about to run out, his cultivation level also reached the peak of Foundation Establishment perfection.

Xu Changyan has mastered a method for condensing demonic pills.

This technique, however, has a limitation: it requires the flesh and blood of a close relative, supplemented by the inner core of a third-tier demon beast, thus having a certain chance of condensing a so-called demon core.

Xu Changyan first killed his wife and concubines, and then slaughtered several disciples, disregarding past friendships, all for the sake of so-called condensing the core.

Having condensed the Demon Core, Xu Changyan quickly gained control of the Blood Demon Sect and became its strongest member.

The Demon of Indulgence was one of Xu Changyan's prized disciples. He watched helplessly as Xu Changyan slaughtered his own family.

Having survived by sheer luck once again, retaining a sliver of his soul in the world, he lay dormant within the Heavenly Demon Cave, waiting for the day he could take revenge on this so-called lustful old demon.

However, due to the machinations of the lustful old devil, this task was handed over to Song Daoxuan.

Because of the great oath of Heaven, Xu Changyan and Song Daoxuan must be killed eventually, otherwise, they will become an inner demon in his heart sooner or later.
