Seeking the Way of Immortality

Wu Zheng was not in a hurry. He used his skills to catch a few wild animals near the small valley, sat on the ground, and began to feast.

Now that the Hun Tian Ding was gone, he had not made pills for several years, and even his alchemy skills had become a lot less sophisticated. Since he had promised Li Wujiang to help him make pills, some cultivators who followed him would naturally be indispensable, so Wu Zheng planned to start making pills during this period.

Without the Hun Tian Ding, all the spiritual materials stored in the early years also left with the departure of the Hun Tian Ding. Most of the top spiritual materials in Wu Zheng's purple golden armor were also consumed in his several life-and-death experiences. Most of the spiritual materials left were not very old.

Fortunately, many cultivators and monsters were killed and injured in the small world, including alchemists. When Lu Yan and others left, they did not have time to collect these things, so naturally they were cheap for Wu Zheng.

Wu Zheng took out a high-quality alchemy cauldron from the small world. It was something left by a late-stage Yuanying cultivator. He refined it a little and began to prepare to refine pills.

For three consecutive days, Wu Zheng did not start, but practiced the details of refining each kind of pill in his mind. He had tried to use other alchemy cauldrons to refine pills in the past, but the effect was far less than that of the Hun Tian Ding.

Even though Wu Zheng has advanced to the God of Transformation, his consciousness and true essence are far from what they were in the past. He dared not be careless in the matter of refining pills.

Starting from the lowest-level "Qi Hui Dan", Wu Zheng retrieved his original techniques and alchemy memories bit by bit, but he was still not satisfied. Without the blessing of the Hun Tian Ding, the success rate of the pills he refined was not low, but the top-grade pills were easy to appear, and the top-grade pills were even less pitiful.

Only when refining the first and second-level pills, many appeared, and when it came to the third level, basically only one in a hundred remained.

You know, that alchemy cauldron was used by a cultivator in the late Yuanying period. Its quality has reached the level of a top-grade magic weapon, which has a certain effect on alchemy. But even so, Wu Zheng is far from reaching the realm of alchemy with the Hun Tian Ding.

Fortunately, the success rate is not low. Wu Zheng's Thirty-Six Hands of Piercing Butterflies and Picking Leaves has also been honed to the fifth level during this period. He can completely refine fourth-level and fifth-level elixirs, but Wu Zheng has been refining elixirs below the fourth level from beginning to end, and has almost never refined fourth-level elixirs.

The main reason is that there is not enough time. I don't know when Li Wujiang will come. On the other hand, it is also for safety reasons. The fourth-level elixir can already trigger thunder tribulation. Although he is not afraid, this place is the territory of Tiandao Academy after all. It is still inappropriate to rashly trigger thunder tribulation here.

A month later, Li Wujiang quietly came to the valley. There were twelve people accompanying him, five in the God Transformation stage and seven in the Nascent Soul stage. Including Li Wujiang, there were thirteen people in total. Among the thirteen people, there were four female cultivators and nine male cultivators. Among the four female cultivators, two were in the early stage of the God Transformation stage, and the other two were in the peak stage of the Nascent Soul stage.

"Fellow Daoist Wu, these are the friends that I invited recently. They are all good fighters." Li Wujiang said with a smile.

"I am Wu Zheng. I think Fellow Daoist Li has already told you my identity before coming. After knowing my identity, you still dare to come to help. I would like to thank you in advance!" Wu Zheng said with a smile.

While he was talking, the other twelve people were also looking at Wu Zheng. They only felt that this person was surrounded by clouds and mist and could not be seen clearly. Especially under the gaze of that person, several cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage felt uncomfortable all over, as if they were seen through.

"I have heard of the name of Fellow Daoist Wu for a long time. Today, I have the chance to meet him. I know that meeting him is even better than hearing about him!" An old man with white hair said with a smile.

"Fellow Daoist, you are too polite."

"Fellow Daoist Wu, you may not know the name of this fellow Daoist yet!" Li Wujiang said with a smile.

Wu Zheng shook his head: "I also entered the Thunder Realm by chance. I don't know anything about the Phoenix Continent. Please help me introduce him."

Li Wujiang nodded and pointed to the white-haired old man who just spoke and said: "This is Ling Jintao, who is known as the 'Spirit Sword Immortal'. He comes from the Spirit Sword Sect. He is a real sword cultivator with amazing combat power."

"Compared to the courage of Fellow Daoist Wu Zheng who used his Nascent Soul cultivation to slash the Divine Transformation cultivator with a sword, Ling is ashamed of himself!"

"I heard that Senior Wu is also a sword cultivator. I wonder if Senior Wu can give me some advice?" The only female cultivator in the late Nascent Soul asked directly.

"Ling Yue, don't be rude!" Ling Jintao scolded.

"Who is this young friend?" Wu Zheng looked at Ling Yue in surprise. Ling Yue was quite beautiful, with a heroic look between her brows. Her sword intention flowed around her, and she was quite smooth. Especially after knowing Wu Zheng's identity and realm, she still dared to speak, which was enough to deserve Wu Zheng's attention.

"Fellow Daoist Wu, this young friend is the only daughter of fellow Daoist Ling, and she is extremely talented!"

Wu Zheng nodded: "Young friend Ling Yue has a clear sword heart, and the sword intent is flowing all over her body, which is endless. She has already seen the door of swordsmanship, which is rare!"

"Senior, you are too kind. I heard that you fought against a cultivator of the God of Transformation with your Nascent Soul cultivation, and cut off one of the cultivator's arms with your seriously injured body. Over the years, your heroic deeds have spread throughout the Phoenix Realm."

"When fellow Daoist Li came to me, I didn't believe it. Although my daughter's cultivation is not high, her sword intent is extraordinary. Fellow Daoist Li can see the sword intent in my daughter at a glance. Just this vision is enough to be called good." Ling Jintao smiled and said.

"It's not about guidance, just learning from each other. If fellow Daoist Ling Yue has time in the future, we can learn from each other in swordsmanship."

"That's great!"

"Fellow Daoist Wu, this is Li's Taoist partner Han Bingyuan, also a cultivator from Tiandao Academy." Li Wujiang pointed to a middle-aged woman with a good appearance and said.

"My concubine Han Bingyuan greets fellow Daoist Wu!"

"Fellow Daoist Han, you're welcome!"

"This is Lian Qiuhong, my wife's disciple, and this is Min Yuanjing. The one next to him is Huang Hai, both of whom are my disciples. Huang Hai and Lian Qiuhong are a Taoist couple." Li Wujiang pointed to two men and one woman and introduced them.

"Junior Lian Qiuhong, I have heard of Senior Wu's great name for a long time. I hope Senior Wu will give me more guidance in the future." The middle-aged female cultivator standing behind Han Bingyuan said respectfully.

"Junior Min Yuanjing greets Senior Wu!"

In addition to Min Yuanjing, Lian Qiuhong and Huang Hai, there is also a pair of twin brothers at the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm. The elder brother is Liu Manteng and the younger brother is Liu Manxin.

The other two had mysterious origins, but they had a life-and-death friendship with Li Wujiang. Although they were Yuanying Realm cultivators, they were powerful and not much inferior to Wu Zheng back then.

The bearded man was named Tan Haichao. It was said that he came from the ancient land of Southern Xinjiang and was a disciple of a noble family. Tang Ming came from the ancient land of Dongying and was also a disciple of a noble family. His Taoist skills were mysterious and strange, and even ordinary Divine Transformation cultivators did not dare to underestimate him.
