Cultivating a family of immortals

Seeing that their senior brother was actually going to fight Dan Shuyao, the disciples of Jianxu Sect knew very well that the two were mortal enemies. In order not to affect the subsequent events, they quickly stepped forward and kindly dissuaded him.

Dan Shuyao broke out in a cold sweat, his face grim as he thought to himself:

"This guy... don't even think about asking me to refine pills anymore, or I'll make you regret it!"

In the end, Dan Shuyao lost the argument and coldly snorted:

"Jiang Shuying, don't think I'm afraid of you. I have important business to attend to today. Let's wait until later and then we'll have a fight!"

"I'm waiting for you!" Jiang Shuying sneered.

Seeing this, the disciples below dared not say a word.

Even Xu Changle secretly thought to himself, "These disciples of the Sword Void Sect are extremely arrogant. We should keep our distance after entering the Condensing Yuan Ganoderma Marsh."

Dan Shuyao said no more. He formed a hand seal with both hands, and a gust of wind suddenly rose behind him. His face was extremely solemn, as if he had used all his spiritual power to form the hand seal. After a moment, the wind gradually stopped, and an extremely large flying boat appeared behind him.

"This flying boat is the largest in the Changkong Immortal Continent. It was personally crafted by the Sword Forging Sect Master at great expense by the Danxi Sect. It can carry hundreds of people without being crowded. It is said that this flying boat also has offensive and defensive capabilities, making it a priceless treasure!"

Xuan Shuofeng said softly from the side.

Xu Changle was also quite shocked when he looked at the enormous thing in front of him.

Xu Jingheng said excitedly, "Father, if you become successful in the future, get one for our family too!"

Xuan Shuofeng groaned upon hearing this, wanting to laugh but unable to, his face turning bright red.

Xu Changle was also furious, but he couldn't discipline his unfilial son at the moment, so he could only say, "Fine, when your father becomes successful, I'll get you one."

Xuan Yunshu covered her mouth and chuckled softly.

A moment later, the eighty cultivators boarded the flying boat one by one.

Dan Shuyao also leaped up, stood at the bow of the ship, and used incantations to steer the flying boat toward the rear of the city.

On the flying boat, the cultivators sat down on the ground and closed their eyes to rest.

Xu Changle's gaze swept over the cultivators, and he had some vague guesses in his mind. He pondered:

"The Xuan Dan Two Swords Sect doesn't allow its own disciples to seize too many Yuanji Ninghunzhi mushrooms, presumably to ensure that all the major sects in Changkong Immortal Continent have Foundation Establishment cultivators and prevent any single sect from becoming dominant. But what is the purpose of doing this?"

"Should we defend against external enemies, or cultivate these Foundation Establishment cultivators into fruits, and then capture and devour them once they ripen?"

"If it's the former, then the [Xuandan Two Swords Sect] still has a sense of righteousness; if it's the latter..."

Thinking about this, Xu Changle already understood one thing.

"Only with a Purple Mansion cultivator in the family to oversee things can we avoid becoming fish on the chopping block!"

"Purple Mansion..."

Just as Xu Changle was thinking this, the flying boat had already crossed the clouds and arrived in front of a huge mountain range.

Many cultivators stood up, and Xu Changle and Xu Jingheng also stood in front of the flying boat, looking at the majestic Luoxia Mountain Range in front of them, which resembled a giant dragon lying between heaven and earth, and were amazed.

The sheer size of this mountain range is breathtaking.

It was dusk, and the setting sun cast its rays, with the rosy glow of the sunset pouring down from the sky and falling on the peaks of the mountain range.

The rosy glow enters the clouds, peaks, valleys, and forests, dyeing thousands of peaks and ridges in golden red, orange pink, and crimson. From the airship, the entire mountain range looks like a vast expanse of rosy clouds at sunset!

Peaks are the bones of the sunset glow, and the sunset glow is the garment of the peaks.

The sunset glow falls on the mountains, and the mountains become the sunset glow.

Over time, people began to call it the Luoxia Mountain Range.

As the cultivators, who had never seen such a sight before, were marveling at it, they suddenly felt the flying boat slowly descend and arrive at a mountain peak.

Dan Shuyao stood at the bow of the ship, wiping the sweat from his temples, a smile playing on his lips.

"We've finally arrived!"

"Fellow Daoists, please disembark now. I will now lead you into the Ningyuan Zhize Land!"

At Dan Shuyao's signal, the disciples of the twelve sects took to the air and landed in front of the mountain peak.

Dan Shuyao also landed, waved his hand to store the flying boat into his magic treasure, then turned to look at the many cultivators, pointed to a cave in the mountain ahead and said:

"The Condensing Essence Ganoderma is located within this cave, which is a world unto itself. Fellow Daoists, please enter in turn!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the disciples, led by Jianxu Sect, flashed inside.

Immediately afterwards, disciples from the Sword Forging Sect and the Danxi Sect also headed inside.

Xuan Shuofeng smiled slightly and waved his hand, saying, "Let's go!"

Xu Changle then followed the others into the cave.

A short while later, after everyone had entered the cave, two dark shadows suddenly appeared on the cave wall.

Dan Shuyao quickly bowed to the shadow and said:

"Greetings, senior and junior martial uncles!"

"Hmm, have you explained the rules clearly?"

"I have already explained to my senior uncles and elder brothers."

"That's good," she said, and a shadow slowly descended from the mountainside, gradually solidifying into a human form. It was a woman with a graceful figure and a cold appearance. Her hands were clasped behind her back, and she said with a hint of sorrow in her voice, "I wonder how many of these cultivators will ultimately survive..."

Dan Shuyao dared not look directly at them, and bowed, saying, "Uncle-Master, rest assured, most of the cultivators this time are at least at the tenth level of Qi Refining. Unless there is a life-or-death feud, they should not easily start a conflict!"

"That would be perfect, as there are far too few Foundation Establishment cultivators in my Changkong Immortal Continent..."

As soon as she finished speaking, the woman walked into the cave.

Dan Shuyao thought to himself, "Having not seen my martial aunt for fifty years, her aura has grown considerably stronger..."

………………

After passing through the cave entrance and a long, deep passage, you arrive at a stone platform.

This is the place. Looking ahead, the view suddenly opens up.

Ahead lay a vast, boundless valley nestled in the forest, indistinguishable from the surrounding mountains.

Its ancient trees reach for the sky, with lush branches and leaves. Looking further into the distance, there are vast grasslands, with mountain peaks also present.

The top of the cave is not a stone wall, but a layer of hazy and soft white light curtain, like an inverted jade plate, enveloping the entire blessed land in the forest.

Faint spiritual patterns flowed across the light screen, intersecting with pale blue and silver-white, like an inverted galaxy, yet not dazzling, only casting a warm and gentle light to illuminate this world.

It is incredibly mysterious.

"Patriarch Xu, stop looking. Let's go. That [Primordial Soul-Gathering Mushroom] grows in this world, whether in mountains, streams, or forests. Its cap is like a full moon, with a warm, lustrous white color. It has few branches and leaves, only two or three, as thin as cicada wings. It's easily recognizable," Xuan Shuofeng said, then instructed the other disciples who had never seen this mushroom before.

"It's quite disadvantageous for us to act together, so let's split up. We'll use the forest ahead as our starting point. Once inside, scatter and search everywhere. If you're lucky enough to find it, immediately notify me using a communication jade talisman. I will then notify the other disciples to gather around and prevent it from being snatched!"

"But besides the other three sects, who dares to steal the Lingzhi from our Xuan Yuan Sect disciples?"

Xuan Shuofeng smiled slightly, then changed the subject and looked at Xu Changle, saying:

"Patriarch Xu, if you find the item, you must not claim to be merely a member of the Xu family; you must also state that you are a disciple of our Xuan Yuan Sect. Do you understand?"

Xu Changle immediately nodded and said, "Of course I understand!"

"Alright, let's go then!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the cultivators behind him surged in. Without delay, Xuan Shuofeng led the group and flew towards the forest ahead.
