Immortality begins with equipping a worn-out talisman pen.

Chapter 93 Waiting for You for a Long Time

Li Mufeng sensed the several streaks of light relentlessly pursuing him from behind, and his gaze sharpened slightly.

They caught up so quickly.

It seems these black market rogue cultivators are all cut from the same cloth. They say they won't fight within the black market, but once they leave the black market area, they immediately reveal their true colors and become robbers who kill and steal treasures.

Thinking of this, he quickly formed a hand seal.

In an instant, his figure transformed into hundreds of streaks of light, shooting off in all directions.

It is the "Great Void Dividing Light Technique".

Over the years, he has mastered this technique to perfection, and his [Splitting Light] technique can conjure up hundreds of indistinguishable streaks of light in one go.

In a short while, several cultivators who had been pursuing them arrived.

Everyone was stunned as they watched the streaks of light scatter and flee across the sky.

"What kind of escape technique is this?"

"It can create so many illusory bodies?"

The group scanned the area with their divine senses but could not distinguish between the real and the fake. They could only choose the fastest and most dazzling escape light to chase after it and dispersed in an instant.

After everyone had completely left.

In the shadow of a rocky outcrop, the air distorted slightly, and a figure slowly emerged.

It was Li Mufeng.

The effect of the superior Concealing Yuan Talisman far surpasses that of the ordinary Concealing Breath Talisman. With his deliberate concealment of his aura, Qi Refining cultivators could not detect it at all, and even the Foundation Establishment divine senses that had previously swept over this place were deceived.

Li Mufeng remained calm, took out a Flying Escape Talisman and a Concealment Talisman, affixed them to his body, and flew straight towards the Heavenly Palace Immortal City.

They didn't stop along the way.

When he was about three hundred miles away from the Heavenly Immortal City, he seemed to have exhausted his magic power, and his escape light paused, disappearing into a mountain forest.

Not long after.

In the distance, a dark cloud could be seen slowly drifting in from the horizon.

The dark clouds appeared to move slowly, but in reality, they moved at an astonishing speed. Each surge covered hundreds of feet, and their speed was in no way inferior to that of an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator.

As the dark clouds dispersed, a figure draped in a black robe was revealed.

It was Ding Si, the Foundation Establishment Alchemist who attempted to exchange spirit stones for an alchemy furnace in the black market.

Ding Si's eyes were gloomy, and his face was extremely ugly.

He was determined to get that second-tier alchemy furnace.

Even before the auction ended, he had already decided that as soon as the transaction was over, he would follow Bing Liu, rob and kill him, and seize the alchemy furnace.

Who would have thought that Li Mufeng would intercept him halfway through?

Thinking of this, the murderous intent in his eyes intensified.

Ding Si was originally a notorious thief in the Black Wind Mountain area. Years ago, he robbed and killed a sect disciple who was out on a training trip. He unexpectedly obtained a second-tier alchemy inheritance and changed his identity to rise as an alchemist.

With that inheritance, he accumulated resources step by step, and not only managed to establish his foundation, but also successfully advanced to become a second-level alchemist.

Over the years, he secretly colluded with the Azure Dragon Gang, a group of cultivators from Black Wind Mountain, killing and robbing while refining pills for others. Relying on the Foundation Establishment materials he had stolen, he successively accepted several commissions to refine Foundation Establishment Pills.

However, he ultimately overestimated his own mastery of alchemy.

Foundation Establishment Pills are far more difficult to refine than ordinary second-tier pills, and several extremely precious Foundation Establishment materials were all destroyed in his hands.

The day for delivering the elixir is drawing ever closer.

If he still doesn't have a suitable second-tier alchemy furnace to assist in alchemy, not only will he be unable to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill, but he will likely face the purging of the Black Wind Mountain chief.

Therefore, during the transaction between Li Mufeng and the other person, he secretly used a secret technique to attach an extremely rare tracking spirit insect to the other person.

That is why, even after the black market closed and hundreds of streaks of light scattered, he was still able to pinpoint the direction Jia Jiu had gone by using his spiritual insect senses.

As Ding Si continued his pursuit, he grew increasingly shocked.

As a Foundation Establishment cultivator, he was wielding a top-grade first-tier flying magic weapon known for its speed. However, even after chasing for a while, he could only barely maintain his senses and avoid losing track of the person.

It's simply unbelievable that a Qi Refining cultivator could unleash such astonishing speed.

Fortunately, the other party eventually stopped.

Ding Si sneered.

It seems this person is extremely cautious. As soon as he left the black market, he used some kind of explosive secret technique, which allowed him to have a speed comparable to that of a Foundation Establishment cultivator for a short time.

But he was, after all, just a minor Qi Refining cultivator, and there was a huge gap between his mana reserves and those of Foundation Establishment cultivators. His mana would eventually run out.

As expected, Jia Jiu eventually landed in a remote mountain forest.

However, when he arrived near the mountains and forests, his brows suddenly furrowed.

The aura of the spirit insect had vanished.

Ding Si immediately felt a sense of vigilance.

His divine sense slowly spread out, quickly enveloping the entire hill.

The sounds of insects echoed through the woods, nightingales sang softly, and mountain springs gurgled gently; everything seemed peaceful and ordinary.

Soon, he discovered a natural cave.

Stalactites hang low in the cave, and spring water drips down.

Tick.

A drop of spring water slowly falls from the tip of a stalactite into the pool, creating a delicate ripple.

The crisp sound of water echoed gently in the spacious cave.

For some reason, after that soft sound, Ding Si suddenly felt that the whole world had become incredibly clear.

The textures on the cave walls, the tiny dust particles floating in the air, and even the traces of the flow of spiritual energy are all clearly visible.

Deep inside the cave, a familiar figure was sitting cross-legged.

Wearing a black robe and a bamboo hat, it was Jia Jiu.

The person's eyes were closed, seemingly recovering his magical powers, completely unaware of anything happening around him.

A cold glint flashed in Ding Si's eyes.

It's now!

Without hesitation, he activated the magical artifact, while his other hand produced a treasured second-tier lightning strike talisman.

For this alchemy furnace, and to avenge the humiliation he suffered along the way, he has decided to spare no expense and strike a fatal blow.

However, at the very moment the magic power was activated...

Ding Si suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of exhilaration.

Even the normally somewhat clumsy method of using talismans to lock down enemies became effortless and accurate at this moment.

It seems like this moment.

My reactions, awareness, and even thinking are several times sharper than before.

A feeling of being in control of everything arises spontaneously.

He even had the leisure to see a crystal-clear droplet of water slowly detaching from the tip of the stalactite behind Jia Jiu.

Falling downwards.

Ding Si suddenly paused.

When and why did the water droplet become so slow?

next moment.

A chill suddenly exploded down my spine.

wrong!

It's not that my awareness has become sharper, but rather that I've slowed down!

His expression changed drastically, and he instinctively tried to activate his protective magic artifact.

But in that instant, he was horrified to find that his movements had become incredibly sluggish.

The flow of magical power was like being stuck in a quagmire, and the operation of divine consciousness was extremely difficult.

Even the spiritual energy of heaven and earth seemed to be separated from him by an invisible barrier, making it impossible to control him as he pleased.

Only at this moment did he finally understand.

Unbeknownst to him, he had fallen into a trap that the other party had already set up.

And in the instant he realized it.

With a sudden surge of spiritual energy, a majestic mountain, resembling a collapsing heavenly gate, crashed down from the night sky.

Second-tier talisman, Mountain-Suppressing Talisman!

Ding Si's pupils suddenly contracted, and he felt a chill run down his spine.

"Damn it, we've fallen for this kid's trick."

In the darkness, a rough, deep voice slowly rang out, carrying a hint of mockery as well as a touch of composure.

"Hmph, I've been waiting for you for a long time."
