Seeking the Way of Immortality

Xuan Jun stood with his hands behind his back, his expression calm, and turned to look at Wu Zheng: "Zheng'er, what do you think should be done?"

Wu Zheng pondered for a moment and said: "Uncle Jun, my enemy is not Lie Yuanxiao, nor is it anyone from the Evil Sect. It doesn't matter whether Lie Yuanxiao is dead or alive, but from now on, there will be no Lie Yuanxiao in the Phoenix Realm."

"Clearly distinguish between gratitude and resentment, and point directly to the heart, good!"

"Uncle Jun, I wonder what you plan to do?"

"Lie Yuanxiao, are you willing to sign a master-servant contract with Wu Zheng?" Xuan Jun said in a deep voice.

Lie Yuanxiao suddenly raised his head and looked at Wu Zheng and Xuan Jun with disbelief. He never thought that after making a life-and-death feud with Wu Zheng, Wu Zheng would still spare his life and sign a master-servant contract with him. In a sense, this is equivalent to an all-out war with the Evil Sect.

"Sir, please think twice. Master Liu has extraordinary magical powers. This time we came here to trick Wu Zheng into going to the underworld."

"Go to the underworld? Don't you think they have guessed that Wu Zheng wants to enter the Xuanhuang Realm through the underworld?"

"Sir, have you also been to the underworld?"

"Hmph, the reason why Chen Tong has this is just guessing that we are not familiar with the underworld, and want to capture Zheng'er in the underworld and refine the purple golden armor on Zheng'er, right?" Xuan Jun said in a deep voice.

"Sir, you are as good as a god."

"Lie Yuanxiao, you only have two choices. The first is to surrender to Wu Zheng, and the second is to be annihilated. Which one do you choose?"

Lie Yuanxiao's heart sank when he heard this, and fine cold sweat broke out on his forehead. From Xuan Jun's tone, this is a situation of fighting to the death with the evil sect. If he surrenders to Wu Zheng, he will probably stand on the opposite side of the evil sect in the future. With Chen Tong's methods and the one behind Chen Tong, offending either of them is not something he can bear.

"Lie Yuanxiao, I'm just short of manpower right now. If you are willing to sign a master-servant contract with me, I will guarantee that you will become a saint in three thousand years." Wu Zheng looked at Lie Yuanxiao and said.

"Wu Zheng, don't talk big. I, Lie Yuanxiao, am not a fool. If this is said by Lord Jun, I will believe it. As for you, I can't think of any reason to believe you." Lie Yuanxiao said disdainfully.

Wu Zheng smiled and shook his wrist. A white jade bottle appeared in his hand. He raised his wrist and said, "Take a pill first and then say whether you believe it or not!"

Although Lie Yuanxiao was suspicious, he still took the jade bottle thrown by Wu Zheng and opened it. A strong medicinal fragrance emanated from the jade bottle. Before Lie Yuanxiao could react, a green snake in the jade bottle flashed and fled away in an instant.

"Hmph, come here."

Lie Yuanxiao snorted coldly and shook his wrist. The little green snake was caught by Lie Yuanxiao before it left a few meters.

"A fifth-level elixir, is this for me?" Lie Yuanxiao asked in surprise.

The elixir in the white jade bottle is the 'Dao Dan'. Some time ago, Wu Zheng took time to refine the Da Dao Dan in the 'Tianhuo Stone Pit'. With his attainments in alchemy and the experience of his mother Ye Susu in the dream, the process of refining was smooth at the beginning, but there were many hardships when the elixir was made.

As a last resort, Wu Zheng invited Xuan Jun. After watching Wu Zheng refine the elixir, Xuan Jun understood the crux of the problem. It turned out that the rules of the small world were incomplete and it was impossible to condense the Dao meaning of the fifth-level elixir.

After understanding the crux of the problem, Xuan Jun took Wu Zheng away from the small world quietly. After several experiments, he finally refined the 'Dao Dan', but there was only one 'Dao Dan' that could transform. In order to make Lie Yuanxiao interested, Wu Zheng had to take out this only Da Dao Dan that could transform.

Wu Zheng had thought about killing Lie Yuanxiao, but the price was too high. A sixth-level demon king, who was also the god of war of the evil sect, involved many interests and might even attract the attention of the Phoenix Realm Spirit. Under Xuan Jun's suggestion, Wu Zheng finally gave up killing Lie Yuanxiao and thought about subduing him.

Subduing a demon king is more difficult than killing one, but with Xuan Jun's coercion in front and the temptation of the Great Dao Pill behind, Lie Yuanxiao's mind was no longer as firm as before.

"With your cultivation level, it shouldn't be difficult to feel the efficacy of this elixir, right?"

"A fifth-grade intermediate elixir, with complete elixir rhyme, suitable for the cultivation of fifth- and sixth-grade and spirit-transforming and refining-empty-level masters, but fifth-grade elixirs are hard to come by. Even if you can refine them, how many can you refine?"

Lie Yuanxiao is a top master in the world, and he has seen countless elixirs. The Xie Sect has its own elixir house. With his status as a war god, it's just a matter of words for him to get any kind of elixir he wants. But even in the Xie Sect, fifth-grade elixirs are not available to everyone who wants to eat them. Even with his status as a war god, he can only make three fifth-grade elixirs a year.

It's really rare to see a master like Wu Zheng who makes a fifth-grade elixir at the first shot!

"I dare not say how many fifth-grade elixirs I can refine, but it's still okay to provide you with one elixir every month." Wu Zheng smiled and spoke with confidence in his tone.

"May I ask, fellow Taoist, what is the name of this elixir? Although the fifth-level elixir can transform, not all elixirs can transform. Please teach me." Although Lie Yuanxiao knew that the elixir was good and could deduce the general efficacy based on the aura on the elixir, he did not know the specific efficacy and name of the elixir.

Wu Zheng saw Lie Yuanxiao asking and knew that he had something in mind, so he immediately said, "This elixir is called the Great Dao elixir. It not only has the effect of improving cultivation and soul, but also has a certain chance of comprehending the great Dao of heaven and earth."

"Oh. So it's the Dao Dan, but I heard that some of the materials for refining the Dao Dan have become extinct. How can you refine it?"

"Fellow Daoist, you also know that I am from the Xuanhuang Realm. I have been refining pills since the foundation-building period. I dare not say that my attainments in the Dao of Alchemy are very high, but they are not much worse than those of the alchemists of various sects. Over the years, I have collected all kinds of rare and precious herbs wherever I go. Others may not be able to refine the Dao Dan, but for me, it is not a difficult task!" Wu Zheng spoke sincerely, as if he had a pearl of wisdom in his hand.

"Wu Zheng, with your means and current connections, it should not be difficult to recruit some fifth- and sixth-level beings from the Wutian Empire, the North Sea Forest, or the Peacock Clan. Why did you choose me?"

"There has only been one God of War in the War Palace of the Evil Sect. There must be a reason why Fellow Daoist Lie is honored as the 'God of War'. Although I can recruit some sixth-level masters now, I can't recruit a master of your level." Wu Zheng shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"Lie Yuanxiao, give me a straight answer whether you agree or not. I don't have time to waste with you here." Xuan Jun said unhappily.

Xuan Jun was here to play the bad guy. If he didn't hit Lie Yuanxiao at this time, wouldn't he have missed this great opportunity in vain.
