Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

#115 - Chapter 114 Wuling Mountain

Within the Crimson Cloud Palace, there were only Spirit Sword Master and Spirit Bamboo Master as Foundation Establishment cultivators, but there were quite a few Qi Refining disciples.

Most of these people had witnessed the battle in the sky. Seeing that the two most powerful elders in the palace were no match for a single enemy, they were incredibly shocked. Some of the more timid ones even thought that the sky was falling and the sect was doomed.

"Hmph, this person is really tit-for-tat, returning the move I used against him!"

"What? Senior Brother!"

Spirit Sword Master chuckled coldly, without explaining.

Ten years ago, when he went to challenge Zhang Yuanjing, he deliberately created a grand spectacle so that all the mortals who had joined him could see it, all to create a shift in people's hearts.

Today, Zhang Yuanjing challenged him at the Crimson Cloud Palace with great fanfare and won, which would naturally affect the morale of the Crimson Cloud Palace.

"Senior Brother, you don't have to mind. This defeat is not due to a lack of combat prowess, but to the spirit weapon. I've said it many times, Senior Brother should change to a top-grade spirit weapon. If your Yin-Yang Dual Swords were top-grade spirit weapons, how could Zhang Jingdao break your technique with a single Fiend Beast Horn!"

Spirit Sword Master had always adhered to the belief that techniques were paramount. As long as he cultivated the Yin-Yang Demon Slaughtering Skill to perfection, he could use the sword in his hand to break through all cultivation barriers without relying on external objects. Therefore, he always focused on the tempering of techniques and willpower, and didn't pay much attention to the grade of his flying sword.

"Now that the red sword is broken, the Yin-Yang Dual Swords naturally need to be reforged. When you have time, go to the valley to find some old acquaintances and exchange for some Five-Colored Spirit Gold and Profound Iron. I will personally forge two top-grade swords."

Upon hearing this, Spirit Bamboo Master said in surprise, "Senior Brother wants to refine spirit weapons himself?"

Spirit Sword Master raised his eyes and looked at Zhang Yuanjing, who was still flying in the sky. The desolation in his eyes was swept away, replaced by a strong fighting spirit: "The rotation of the two swords' mana is only the initial fusion of the Yin-Yang Dual Swords, and there are still flaws and limited power. I want to comprehend the connection between the swords through forging, and use this to achieve a breakthrough in the technique, truly achieving the supreme realm of Yin-Yang fusion and invincibility!"

"Senior Brother still wants to fight this person again?"

"Of course, how can I retreat in the face of a strong enemy! This person is my whetstone, and I cannot stretch my thoughts without beheading him!"

"But, he seems to have a close relationship with the Hidden Sun Sect!"

"So what! Since he has come to our door, I don't care who he is, just kill him!"

"Senior Brother, look at his body full of top-grade spirit weapons, hehe, I'm afraid even the Hidden Sun Sect Master's own son may not have this treatment. If we really kill him, I'm afraid it won't end well."

Spirit Sword Master was silent for a long time before saying, "If you are worried, you might as well go to the Hidden Sun Sect to inquire. But, before that, gather the materials for my weapon refinement first."

Let's talk about Zhang Yuanjing, who wandered around the Crimson Cloud Palace for half an hour. Seeing that the Crimson Cloud Palace's great formation was activated and Spirit Sword Master did not come out to fight, he ignored it and drove his flying sword all the way south.

In just five or six days, he saw the vast hills with undulating terrain from afar, with continuous mountains lying on top, surrounded by mist, covering a very large area of no less than five or six thousand miles.

The mountain peaks were extremely high, with the shorter ones being one or two thousand feet, and the taller ones reaching more than three thousand feet. He stretched his eyes and looked into the distance, only seeing a hazy scene.

According to the information Zhang Xuan had gathered, the Crimson Cloud Palace also had a stronghold in this mountain, used for long-term capture of Blue-Faced Sable. This also shows that there are no True Demons in the Demon Core stage in Misty Cloud Mountain, and the danger level is not too high.

As he got closer, the fog seemed to be lighter, only a thin layer. There were many peaks and ridges in the mountains, at least three or four hundred mountain peaks.

Zhang Yuanjing flew his sword between the mountains, his eyes filled with lush greenery. He scanned with his divine sense and saw many birds and beasts, but not a single demon beast.

He flew towards the depths of the mountains, and after traveling more than a thousand miles, the scenery he saw suddenly changed. Spiritual energy flowed in the light mist, and waterfalls, springs, high cliffs, and deep ravines loomed between the mountains and forests, and a sharp whistling sound occasionally rang out.

He held the Profound Crystal Great Axe in his hand, increased his vigilance, and traveled hundreds of miles further when he suddenly saw the movement of cultivators fighting in a valley. He landed his flying sword, hid behind the trees, and sneaked over.

When he got near, he probed with his divine sense and found that two cultivators above the tenth level of Qi Refining were fighting a spider-shaped demon beast in the late stage of Savage Blood.

Both cultivators used flying swords, one was cold and the other was hot, and their cooperation was very tacit, suppressing the spider demon beast, whose strength was a few points higher than theirs.

The spider demon beast spat out spider silk several times, but both of them dodged it nimbly. On the contrary, their flying swords hit the beast several times, causing it to be seriously injured.

Zhang Yuanjing only watched for a while before judging that the techniques of these two people were similar to those of Spirit Fortune Master, Spirit Bamboo Master, and Spirit Sword Master, and should be disciples of the Crimson Cloud Palace.

After another quarter of an hour, the spider demon beast's injuries gradually worsened. Sensing that it was no match, it continuously spat out several webs, forcing the two of them back several feet, trying to escape.

However, this spider had been hit several times by the cold flying sword, and its legs and feet were already a little disobedient due to the cold force invading its body. It was caught up and killed by the two before it could run far.

"Senior Brother Han, this is the third one, right! It should be almost enough!" a cultivator said with a happy voice.

"Elder Spirit Rain said that more than a hundred are needed to refine that medicine. There were only thirty or so in the past few days. Even if we add what other disciples have obtained today, I'm afraid it's not enough. Junior Brother Chen, if the two of us catch a few more, Uncle Spirit Rain will definitely be very happy and may bestow some good treasures." "Senior Brother Han" said in a low voice.

"But the Wolf Venom Spiders are rare in these mountains. We have to search in the middle of the mountains, which is too dangerous," "Junior Brother Chen" said hesitantly.

"Junior Brother Chen, if you don't take the risk, how can you fight for opportunities. Elder Spirit Rain is good at refining pills. If she is happy, she might reward us with a few bottles of top-grade Hundred Spirit Pills," "Senior Brother Han" persuaded.

"Junior Brother Chen" hesitated for a moment upon hearing this, and then asked, "Where should we look?"

"Senior Brother Han" said, "There are very few people here, there should still be Wolf Venom Spiders. Let's search two more mountains in the depths, and whether we get anything or not, we will return to the station first."

"Junior Brother Chen" didn't hesitate this time and immediately agreed.

Misty Cloud Mountain was very large, and Zhang Yuanjing didn't know where to catch the Blue-Faced Sable. Since he had encountered the disciples of the Crimson Cloud Palace, he could inquire about some information, so he followed behind the two.

The two spent more than an hour searching two more mountain peaks, but did not find the Wolf Venom Spider they were talking about. So, they turned north again. Zhang Yuanjing followed them closely.

Along the way, listening to the two talking intermittently about the Wolf Venom Spider, he learned that Spirit Rain Daoist, the person in charge here at the Crimson Cloud Palace, accidentally discovered a Blue-Faced Sable King at the Great Perfection of Spiritual Enlightenment a few months ago. Seeing the prey, he was overjoyed and rushed up to fight it. As a result, he suffered a great loss, not only destroying a spirit weapon, but also being seriously injured and poisoned by the Blue-Faced Sable King's venom.

Later, this old Daoist remembered a pill made from the venom of the Wolf Venom Spider. After taking it, it could attack poison with poison and had miraculous effects. Only then did he order the disciples to hunt this spider everywhere.

Walking to the entrance of a gloomy canyon, "Senior Brother Han" said, "Junior Brother Chen, this place is full of Yin energy, which is suitable for the Wolf Venom Spider to breed. Why don't we go in and take a look?"

"Junior Brother Chen" was shocked and immediately shook his head: "No, Senior Brother Han! You know the danger of this valley. The Yin Kui Python's cultivation has reached the peak of the Savage Blood Realm, and it may be about to break through. If we go in at this time and run into it, we will definitely be killed!"

"Senior Brother Han" insisted: "No, I think it's an opportunity. You think that Yin Kui Python may be breaking through its realm and doesn't know where it's hiding. How could it come out to wander!"

"Junior Brother Chen" hesitated for a moment, but still shook his head: "What if it hasn't reached the time to break through?"

"Senior Brother Han" laughed and said, "Junior Brother Chen, why do you have to worry about the future? If it hasn't broken through, it's just the Great Perfection of the Savage Blood Realm. If the two of us face it, even if we can't beat it, it can't catch up if we want to escape!"

"Junior Brother Chen" was a little moved, but after thinking about it, he still felt it was too risky and still refused to agree.

The Crimson Cloud Palace's technique is special, paying attention to the simultaneous cultivation of water and fire, which is very powerful, but the difficulty of cultivation is also extremely high, which can't be done by Qi Refining disciples. Therefore, the predecessors who created the Crimson Cloud Palace's unique skills also created two basic techniques, one fire and one water.

All Qi Refining Realm disciples can first cultivate one technique to lay the foundation, and then cultivate the other technique after reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm, and then the two techniques can be merged to achieve great success.

Therefore, when Crimson Cloud Palace disciples go out to perform tasks, they are usually paired with one fire technique and one water technique. Once there is danger, the combination of the two techniques is more than twice as powerful as two Qi Refining cultivators alone.

This "Senior Brother Han" and "Junior Brother Chen" have cooperated for many years and have a good understanding. If one person is unwilling to do something, it is difficult for the other person to do it.

Seeing that "Junior Brother Chen" was still hesitating, "Senior Brother Han" lowered his voice and said: "Junior Brother Chen, I heard that Elder Spirit Rain recently refined a furnace of top-grade Hundred Spirit Pills, which were originally prepared to be taken out and rewarded to those disciples who worked hard to capture the Blue-Faced Sable. This time, because they had to hunt the Wolf Venom Spider, they also distributed some to reward the three groups of disciples who hunted the most Wolf Venom Spiders."

Hearing this, "Junior Brother Chen" asked in confusion: "Where did Senior Brother Han learn this from? Why didn't the elders announce this matter?"

"Senior Brother Han" raised his eyebrows and smiled mysteriously: "That Yao Yuanguang has a big mouth and likes to show off. You can't ask anything from him! Hehe! Elder Spirit Rain refines pills, and this person has always been in charge of trivial matters. He assisted Elder Spirit Rain in refining a furnace of Hundred Spirit Pills with high quality. He was so proud that I could smell it from three miles away. After a mere Flathead Magpie and a few flattery words, I found out everything!"

"Junior Brother Chen" smiled and said, "Senior Brother Han, you are really something. If it were me, I really couldn't stand his arrogant appearance."

Hearing this, "Senior Brother Han" said sternly: "Junior Brother Chen, when your cultivation reaches our level, you must fight for every opportunity. Otherwise, how can you have the hope of Foundation Establishment. Twenty years ago, the palace once gave Foundation Establishment Pills to eight Qi Refining thirteenth level disciples who had made great contributions to the sect, two of whom used this to advance to the Foundation Establishment stage. One of these two people is said to have died at the hands of demon beasts more than ten years ago, and the other is Senior Brother Zhen Que.

"I heard that my Crimson Cloud Palace has only accumulated twenty Foundation Establishment Pills in the past hundred years. How many are left after using them all these years? If we don't fight for it and raise our cultivation to the peak of the Qi Refining Realm as soon as possible, if the palace gives Foundation Establishment Pills again one day, we can only watch the opportunity slip away, and we may never have the chance to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm in this life!"

"Junior Brother Chen" was moved by this statement and stopped insisting. He nodded solemnly and said, "Then I will listen to Senior Brother Han and venture into the valley!"

"Senior Brother Han" laughed heartily again: "Don't worry, Junior Brother. I, Han Ji, was also born as a rogue cultivator. I have been to many dangerous mountains and evil valleys before entering the palace, and I don't take this danger to heart."

This canyon is dozens of miles deep, and Zhang Yuanjing's divine sense only covers about eight or nine miles, so he can't see the depths. However, looking into the distance, he also felt several unclear auras, fearing that there were some powerful demons that these two could not cope with.

As soon as he entered the valley, he felt a gloomy aura, which made him feel cold all over. "Junior Brother Chen" practiced the fire technique, and his spiritual power flowed throughout his body, so he was fine. Han Ji practiced the water technique, taking the cold route, and he felt like a fish in water here.

After walking three or four miles, they encountered several Cold Water Frogs in the early stage of Savage Blood. This beast had no combat power and was dismembered by the two with a few swords. After that, they encountered many low-level demon beasts. Those with a keen sense of smell hid early, and those with a slow reaction died.

After entering the valley for more than ten miles, a fork in the road appeared. One on the left suddenly sank, as if going to the bottom of the cliff, the middle one was full of rocks, steep and uneven, and it was not clear whether it was going up or down, and the one on the right was full of short trees and fragrant.

Han Ji and "Junior Brother Chen" discussed a few words. Because they had entered the valley once before and took the road on the right, they ran into a Yin Kui Python at the peak of the Savage Blood Realm and almost got injured, so they decided to take the middle road this time.

After walking two or three miles, they found a Wolf Venom Spider in the early stage of Savage Blood. The two were overjoyed and launched their swords together, immediately killing the spider. Before the two could collect the spider corpse, three more fell from the rock wall, all of which had the cultivation base of the mid-Savage Blood Realm. With the strength of the two, they were not afraid, and after a few rounds of battle, they killed the three Wolf Venom Spiders.

Han Ji waved his hand and collected the corpses of the four Wolf Venom Spiders, stopped the excited "Junior Brother Chen", and said with a solemn expression: "Junior Brother Chen, the situation is not right, retreat quickly!"
