Immortality begins with inheriting the myriad arts of cultivation.

Above Xianfeng Island.

Two graceful figures stood gracefully.

Watching Li Ping pilot the flying boat away, Feng Xishuang gave a bitter smile: "Sister Yiling, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have given Fellow Daoist Li the opportunity to search your soul."

"It's not your fault." Wei Yiling shook her head: "Now that I think about it carefully, Li Ping was able to uncover that old guy Mo Gui's scheme, so he probably has some special eavesdropping methods. Perhaps he has been listening to our conversations all along, and he probably already had some suspicions about the jade slip."

If you hadn't given him the chance to search his soul, and instead allowed him to confirm his suspicions directly, he would have turned against you just the same after killing the Four Fiends of the East Sea.

Upon hearing this, Feng Xishuang couldn't help but sigh.

She still had a great deal of goodwill towards Li Ping, who had saved her from serious injuries, and she could tell that Sister Ling probably also had a good impression of Li Ping.

But after this incident, the two sides became complete strangers.

"No need to sigh. Our main purpose in coming here is to kill the Four Fiends of the East Sea and avenge ourselves. The spoils of war are secondary. He saved you once, so consider the spoils from the Four Fiends as a token of our gratitude."

Wei Yiling smiled and comforted Feng Xishuang: "Besides, didn't he leave behind a way for the Four Fiends to enter and exit the Mirage? Now the two of us sisters have a safe place to stay in the East China Sea, so it's not like we've gained nothing at all."

Feng Xishuang nodded, agreeing with Wei Yiling's words.

Li Ping is a high-level alchemist, and with this skill, he doesn't need to worry about cultivation resources.

Unlike the two women, who needed to hunt demons to obtain cultivation resources.

Therefore, the Spirit Island in the Mirage is not of great value to Li Ping, but it is of considerable value to them.

"Shuangmei, let's go check out that spirit island first. Maybe the Four Fiends left a lot of treasures there. We'll make Li Ping so envious!" Wei Yiling looked in the direction Li Ping had gone and couldn't help but snort.

"it is good."

……

On the airship, I put all my thoughts behind me.

Li Ping once again checked the spoils in the storage bag in his hand, and only after confirming that everything was correct and there were no problems did he put them into his own storage bag.

First, there was the half of the Golden Dew. He carefully held a jade bottle and examined it closely. With his powerful divine sense, he indeed found the tracking mark left by Wei Yiling inside.

After removing the marks and combining the Golden Dew from the two jade bottles into one, he finally revealed a satisfied smile.

Next, all he needs to do is find the Yang Wood, and he can break through to the third level of body refinement.

With his dual cultivation of body and magic, he possesses a physical strength comparable to that of a dragon of the same level. Coupled with the enhancement of his magic power and magic treasures, he could probably kill a mid-stage Core Formation cultivator with a single blow if he were to wield the Dragon Slayer Guillotine at close range!

In fact, he originally crafted the Dragon Slayer as a close-combat magic weapon.

This treasure can only unleash its full power in close combat.

Aside from the Golden Dew, his most precious possessions are the five natal magic treasures he obtained by defeating powerful enemies. However, he has no shortage of magic treasures and is too lazy to spend time refining them.

Therefore, he can only keep these magical treasures in his storage bag for the time being, and see if there will be an opportunity to exchange them with other Core Formation cultivators for useful materials and treasures in the future.

What remains are a large number of materials and a large sum of spirit stones.

Leaving aside the spirit stones, the materials were mostly taken from mid- to high-level demonic beasts. It was unclear whether the four fierce beasts killed the beasts themselves or plundered them from other people.

Now it all benefits Li Ping.

Aside from materials of rank three and above, he planned to sell all other materials at Caibai Pavilion for spirit stones.

After taking stock of all the spoils, a thoughtful look appeared in Li Ping's eyes.

Over the years, eight Core Formation cultivators have died at his hands. The materials he collected from their storage bags are more than enough for him to refine another low-grade third-tier puppet.

What he's hesitating about now is whether or not he should refine a low-grade third-tier puppet.

After all, with his current combat power that allows him to instantly kill early-stage Core Formation cultivators, continuing to refine third-grade low-level puppets wouldn't actually be of much help to him, and it seems somewhat wasteful.

However, he didn't know how to refine a third-tier high-grade puppet, and he also didn't have enough materials.

Considering that killing the Four Fiends of the East Sea and Mo Gui has brought him into the sights of the higher-ups of the Datong Society, he should now try to increase his strength as much as possible.

"If I don't refine them, I'll just run away if I encounter a danger I can't handle!" After hesitating for a moment, Li Ping decided to keep the materials and use them to create a late-stage third-tier puppet.

"Even Daoist Gaoji doesn't know when he'll be able to perfect the method for crafting fourth-order puppets!"

Li Ping couldn't help but let his imagination run wild.

A fourth-tier puppet is equivalent to the combat power of a Nascent Soul cultivator. With such a puppet in hand, even if you can't run rampant in the Great Zhou, you can at least ensure your own safety.

Shaking his head, Li Ping closed his eyes and sat cross-legged to meditate and regulate his breathing.

Months later, an endless coastline came into view. The flying boat did not stop and flew directly across the coastline toward the location of Lingxiao City.

Months later, an endless coastline came into view. The flying boat did not stop and flew directly across the coastline toward the location of Lingxiao City.

When I set off, it was still the middle of the year; by the time I returned, almost the entire year had passed.

Standing on the flying boat, watching the outline of Lingxiao City slowly grow larger, Li Ping smiled slightly and muttered to himself, "I acted impulsively this time. I won't leave Lingxiao City again unless absolutely necessary."

Although, judging from the results of his soul search, the Datong Society did not seem to care much about the life or death of peripheral members like the Four Fiends.

But to be on the safe side, he decided not to appear outside Lingxiao City again.

As long as they stay within the city, the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Great Harmony Society shouldn't risk offending the Three Elders of Lingxiao for a few cannon fodder.

……

Amidst the vast, endless mirage, a flying boat sped towards them.

On the flying boat, Wei Yiling and Feng Xishuang cautiously observed their surroundings. In front of them, an ancient token emitting a faint glow floated, keeping the mirage at bay.

"The location I sensed last time was roughly around here," Wei Yiling murmured.

At the same time, she maneuvered the flying boat to circle around the area, trying to find the location of the spirit island in the mirage.

Suddenly—

The flying boat entered an open area. Wei Yiling looked down and immediately saw the island, which was only about a hundred miles in circumference.

Whether it was due to the island's own unique characteristics or the Four Fiends' special methods, the island was surrounded by mirages, but hundreds of feet above it, the mirages were completely blocked.

Upon finding the third-tier spirit island, both of them showed joy.

Wei Yiling immediately pointed, and the flying boat flew towards the Spirit Island below.

Seemingly extremely confident in the external mirage barrier, no additional formations were set up on the Spirit Island, which made it easier for Wei Yiling to take over the Spirit Island.

Six or seven days later, the two cleaned up the island and managed to collect some medicinal herbs.

However, what pleased the two the most was this spirit island hidden in the mirage. They had already decided that this would be their cave dwelling place from now on.

But just as the two finished opening up their cave at the Spirit Eye, a calm voice came to their ears.

"You two young friends have quite the nerve, daring to kill someone and still swagger around here."

Upon sensing the immense divine sense, Wei and Feng's expressions changed drastically: "The one who came is a Nascent Soul cultivator!"
