Extracting all things: My attributes grow infinitely.

Jiang Chuan taught the "Green Wood Longevity Technique" to Ma Yuankui, partly to verify something.

Do the cultivation techniques he brought from the Origin Realm have copies in the Heavenly Chapter Realm?

If someone is already practicing the "Green Wood Longevity Technique," it likely means that there are also fellow practitioners of the "Corona True Fire Refining Record," which would completely extinguish any hope he might have.

……

Jiang Chuan originally planned to find a mortal village to bestow a divine destiny upon him, but Ma Yuankui's initiative to come to him saved him from this scheme.

He returned to the Immortal Alliance first.

Meanwhile, Ma Yuankui, who was in charge of keeping an eye on him, went to report to Cui Chenghua.

Cui Chenghua's residence was in a separate cave dwelling on the west side of the outer gate.

It is said to be a cave dwelling.

It was more than ten times more spacious than Jiang Chuan's sixth-class cave dwelling.

With the backing of the Heyin Society and the lucrative position of guiding new disciples, Cui Chenghua's wealth accumulated over the years is no less than that of some inner disciples.

Ma Yuankui stood by the stone gate outside the cave and raised his hand to send out a sound transmission talisman.

A moment later, the stone gate slowly opened.

Cui Chenghua was sitting cross-legged on a futon in the center of the cave, holding a jade slip in his hand, seemingly trying to comprehend some kind of cultivation technique.

He glanced at Ma Yuankui and casually asked, "How was it? Did you find anything after following them all this way?"

Ma Yuankui bowed and replied calmly, "Reporting to Senior Brother Cui, after that newcomer named Jiang Chuan left headquarters, he headed southeast. I followed him all the way and discovered that he only went to a mortal city near Qingmu Ridge."

"A city for mortals?"

Cui Chenghua put down the jade slip in his hand, his eyebrows slightly raised.

"Exactly." Ma Yuankui continued without changing his expression, "He went to a few shops in the city, bought some miscellaneous goods for cultivation, and then returned the way he came. I saw that he bought some low-grade pills and spiritual materials, which should be just some necessities for a newcomer."

Cui Chenghua pondered for a moment but did not suspect anything.

This explanation is reasonable.

Although the trading platform within the Immortal Alliance is convenient, everything on it must be purchased with contribution points.

How many contribution points can a newbie who has just started have?

It's naturally more cost-effective to spend gold and silver to buy some trivial items in the outer cities.

"Looks like this kid knows how to manage his money."

Cui Chenghua chuckled, his tone tinged with disdain.

However, he added, "We can't let our guard down. I'm determined to get the information he has. Keep an eye on him and see who he contacts next."

"Yes."

Ma Yuankui respectfully agreed.

Cui Chenghua waved his hand, about to tell him to leave, but then seemed to remember something and said, "Oh right, don't rush off yet, there's something else I need to tell you."

Ma Yuankui paused, a bad feeling creeping into his heart.

Cui Chenghua stood up from the futon, walked to the stone table next to him, picked up a crimson jade talisman and weighed it in his hand.

"A few days ago, Senior Sister Flower Snake discovered a blessed land of immortals and wanted to find a few people to help her explore it. I mentioned you to her, and she was very interested in your skill of concealing one's aura."

Ma Yuankui's heart skipped a beat.

A blessed land of immortals.

These four words sound ethereal and otherworldly, but in reality they refer to undeveloped secret realms or the secluded caves where cultivators cultivate in seclusion.

Opportunities exist in places like this.

But the danger is even greater.

No one knows what kind of restrictive formations are set up inside, or what kind of ferocious creature has been sealed away for many years.

Every time someone explores a place like this, it's considered a stroke of luck if three out of ten manage to come back alive.

Ma Yuankui had long heard of the Flower Snake Senior Sister that Cui Chenghua mentioned.

One of the vice presidents of the Heyin Association, with a cultivation level of Qi Refining Stage 2.

This woman is known for her ruthlessness and is most skilled at manipulating others to take the fall for her. There are at least twenty or thirty outer disciples who have been indirectly killed by her.

"Senior Brother Cui."

Ma Yuankui carefully considered his tone and tentatively declined, saying, "Junior Brother's meager skills are merely trivial tricks for escaping. They might not be of any use in a real secret realm, and going there would only be a burden to Senior Sister..."

"When did you learn to be humble?"

Cui Chenghua gave him a half-smile.

"Your Concealing Breath and Transforming Shadow Technique can not only deceive the senses of cultivators, but also evade some low-level array formations and restrictions. This is exactly the kind of technique most needed for exploring secret realms."

"I've already recommended you to Senior Sister Flower Snake. If you don't go, wouldn't that put me in a difficult position?"

Ma Yuankui opened his mouth, but swallowed the words back down.

He knew very well that Cui Chenghua was ostensibly discussing things with him, but in reality, he didn't allow him to refuse at all.

He usually followed Cui Chenghua's lead without question and never uttered a single word of dissent.

If, contrary to expectations, you insist on not going now, it will only arouse the other party's suspicion.

"Senior Brother Cui is right, I was overthinking it." Ma Yuankui lowered his head, adopting a respectful and obedient demeanor. "When does Senior Sister plan to depart?"

"Two months later."

Cui Chenghua tossed him the crimson jade talisman: "This is a communication talisman personally crafted by Senior Sister Flower Snake. She will use this talisman to contact you before we set off. During this time, put aside what you are doing and conserve your energy. Don't embarrass Heyin."

"clear."

Ma Yuankui took the jade talisman, carefully put it into his pocket, bowed again, and then turned and left the cave.

The stone gate slowly closed behind him.

He walked a long way along the boardwalk before his expression gradually turned somber.

Trouble.

Exploring secret realms is inherently a perilous undertaking with a high chance of survival.

Especially this Flower Snake Senior Sister, who is extremely ruthless. If she were to discover any rare treasures, it wouldn't be impossible for her to kill her on the spot.

but.

His primary concern was not his own life or safety.

It doesn't matter if he dies, but if his death delays his master's plans, then he truly deserves to die!

Think about it.

He still sent a message to Jiang Chuan.

……

Inside the cave.

Jiang Chuan was setting up a set of array flags that he had just bought from the Myriad Immortals Mirror.

This set of defensive flags can withstand attacks from those at the Qi Condensation Realm, and each set costs 1000 contribution points.

If it weren't for the friendly sponsorship I just received from Ma Yuankui.

He really couldn't bear to buy it.

But it is expensive.

This thing is definitely worth every penny.

As long as he doesn't actively provoke those old monsters in the Qi Refining Realm, this set of array flags alone is enough to protect him in the outer mountain area, and even Cui Chenghua can't do anything to him.

He cast several spells and successfully activated the array flags. The four array flags immediately disappeared, transforming into an invisible wave of water that enveloped the entire cave.

Jiang Chuan nodded in satisfaction.

At this time.

The Starry Sky Mirror suddenly began to flicker slightly.

The Starry Sky Treasure Mirror can serve as a communication talisman over a short distance, approximately a thousand miles.

Beyond this distance, he could no longer contact his servants. For example, Long Yuan was currently hundreds of thousands of miles away, and there was no sign of him at all. Jiang Chuan could only find out whether he was dead or alive by checking the information.
