The Path to Immortality

Seeing Fang Ping's worry, Elder Wu pretended to smile relaxedly.

He said: "Fellow Daoist Fang, don't worry. I am approaching my end of life and I don't have much time left to live. Instead of lingering and wasting these last years, it is better to help the sect kill one or two demon cultivators while we still have the strength to fight. In this way, You can also make more contributions and be a blessing to future generations.”

These words made Fang Ping silent.

Since Elder Wu took the initiative to apply, he must have put his life and death on the line, and naturally it was inconvenient for him to persuade him.

Elder Wu continued minding his own business: "At my age, I have nothing to worry about anymore. The only thing I care about is the hundreds of descendants. You must also know that Old Wu was quite ridiculous after I established the foundation. He has taken in many Taoist companions and given birth to many children. Although there are many who have the qualifications to practice, there is only one who has the best spiritual roots and is truly expected to build a foundation."

After that, he pulled the sad-looking young man beside him and said to Fang Ping, "Wu Wannian, why don't you pay respects to Uncle Fang from the inner sect?"

"I've met Uncle Fang!"

After being instructed by Elder Wu, the young man followed the instructions with some restraint.

"At the age of fifteen, do you already have the second level of Qi training?"

Fang Ping's consciousness swept away and he nodded secretly.

He flipped through it and took out a few bottles of elixirs that were refined that year and were suitable for the Qi training period from the storage bag, and gave them to Wu Wannian as a meeting gift.

Elder Wu looked at Fang Ping's actions with dark eyes, and suddenly said: "Fellow Daoist Fang, do you still remember the promise you made back then?"

Hearing Elder Wu mention what happened back then, Fang Ping looked solemn and said: "Of course I remember that as long as Fang succeeds in building the foundation, he owes Elder Wu a favor. If a junior comes to the door holding the token given by Fang back then, he will give it to It’s a foundation-building spiritual thing.”

Could it be that this foundation-building spiritual thing is about to be fulfilled in the young man in front of me?

But Elder Wu seemed to have changed his mind. He said: "At present, the devil's path is flourishing, the situation in Yunzhou is turbulent, and people's hearts are floating. Even if there are more foundation-building spiritual objects and one less, it is insignificant to me, the descendants of the Wu family. Can I be mediocre? It is my wish to pass on the legacy safely, so let’s let it go.”

He looked emotional and continued: "This trip is going to Mingyun Immortal City. The mountains are high and the road is long. I'm afraid there will be no day to turn back. Before leaving, I plan to give fellow Taoist Fang a gift. Please consider this gift and the past Please take care of me, the descendants of the Wu family."

After saying that, he took out a jade slip from his storage bag and handed it to Fang Ping.

Fang Ping hesitated for a moment, then took the jade slip and penetrated it with his spiritual consciousness.

The jade slip contains very little content, only two prescriptions of elixirs carefully collected by Elder Wu.

One of them is an ancient elixir called [Yun Shen Dan], which is ranked first-level and top grade.

This kind of elixir, if swallowed for a long time, can nourish the soul and slowly increase the strength of the monk's consciousness.

Unfortunately, several of these materials are now either very rare or apparently extinct and difficult to search for.

"A magical elixir that can increase the strength of your spiritual consciousness!"

Fang Ping felt a mixture of joy and sorrow in his heart.

It is not easy to modify and optimize ancient elixir recipes. During his qi training period, he bought the ancient elixir [Pulse Nourishing Pill] from the market in Xiaofeng Canyon, and he still keeps it in his storage bag.

Over the years, he occasionally found time to study, but for a while he couldn't find any clues to improve it.

In contrast, another recipe surprised him even more.

Its name is: [Jie Jin Dan].

Just like the Foundation-Building Pill is to the Qi-training monks, the famous Jin-Jin Dan is equally as thunderous to the Foundation-Building monks and has unparalleled significance and value.

It can assist monks to break through the golden elixir realm, increase the success rate by a full 20%, and rank among the second-level middle-grade elixirs!

The main ingredients of Jiejin elixir are: 500-year-old red jingzhi, yin-yang fruit, and five-yun lotus.

In addition, dozens of elixirs are needed: Danjingcao, Yuanyang Fruit, Hunyuan Fruit, Babel Chrysanthemum, Bitter Vine, Liuyang Spiritual Water, etc.

"It turns out to be the recipe for the golden elixir!"

The second-level mid-grade elixir is still a bit far away for Fang Ping now, and he is temporarily unable to refine it.

But this prescription came just in time, letting Fang Ping at least know what to collect and what goal to work towards!

He calmed down and said to Elder Wu: "This elixir is indeed of great use to me. Elder Wu has taken the trouble."

After pondering for a while, he took out a low-grade self-defense spiritual weapon [Silver Light Bracelet] from the storage bag, erased the mana mark left in it, and handed it to Elder Wu.

"This spiritual weapon was obtained by me when I killed a demon cultivator. Mr. Wu is going to Mingyun Immortal City this time. If you may need it, please accept it..."

Elder Wu came here to show favor, so how could he be willing to accept Fang Ping's spiritual weapon?

He shook his head and refused to ask for anything: "What can a dying person do if he has one more spiritual weapon? If fellow Taoist Fang doesn't keep it for his own use and gives it to me, it will only be a waste of treasure."

Fang Ping could probably guess what Elder Wu was thinking.

He sighed, forced the silver bracelet to the other party, and then said: "For Mr. Wu's sake, as long as I am still in the Luoyang Sect, I will take care of the Wu family's children as much as I can. But I have something to say. In the front, if the Wu family takes the initiative to cause trouble, I will not take action. "

He said it cautiously and did not make a big deal, but the more he said it, the more relieved Elder Wu was.

After hesitating for a few breaths, he accepted the silver bracelet and said, "In that case, I would like to thank fellow Taoist Fang."

After finishing his last thought, he looked deeply at Fang Ping with slightly cloudy eyes, looking at this Lingbao Peak, as if he wanted to imprint everything in front of him deep in his memory.

After a while, he took Wu Wannian and left without looking back.

Watching his departing figure, Fang Ping had a strong premonition that this was the last time he would see Elder Wu.

………

Just one month later.

An explosive piece of news came from the north.

After more than ten years of resisting the attacks of the demon cultivators, the Bingpo Mountain Camp of the Yue Kingdom's cultivation world was finally breached by the Ten Thousand Demons League at all costs.

A large number of demon cultivators drove straight into the Bingpo Mountain Pass and swept across half of the Yue Kingdom.

In just over ten days, no less than a hundred small and medium-sized cultivation sects and families were destroyed by the demon cultivators.

There were also a large number of forces who saw that things were hopeless and took the initiative to join the demon cultivators and joined the Ten Thousand Demons League. They were then used as cannon fodder by the Ten Thousand Demons League and forced to attack other sects in the Yue Kingdom's cultivation world.

Since there was no place to defend later, the four major sects of the Yue Kingdom could only guard the mountain gates and rely on the formation and the sect's foundation to resist.

The first to be hit was the Taoyun Sect, which had already entered a state of sealing off the mountain. The mountain defense formation was fully activated, and disciples were not allowed to enter or leave, ready to respond to the attack of the Ten Thousand Demons League at any time.

The bad news spread, and a stone stirred up a thousand waves.

However, in addition to the bad external situation, the situation inside Liang State was equally serious.

The demons and monsters that emerged from the Qingyuan Demon Realm seemed endless, and they fought fiercely with the Liang State cultivators who came to blockade and encircle them.

Originally, if Yue State could still hold on, the five major immortal gates of Liang State could calmly mobilize the power of the entire Liang State cultivation world to first quell this early demonic calamity.

But once the Bingpo Mountain camp was broken, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse, and the five major immortal gates no longer had any room for maneuver.
