Cultivating Immortality in Two Realms

Chapter 492 Divine Pill

"The attitude of the Eastern Taiyi Xuanmen is indeed quite subtle."

Rejected by a Golden Virtue attendant, Fang Qing didn't have many thoughts, but he felt that this lineage's attitude towards his family was really hard to say.

Without further ado, he transformed into a streak of light and arrived at the outer sea.

Tianjiao Island.

A giant ailanthus tree provides shade and spreads boundless vitality and radiance; even ordinary people living on this island can attain the wonder of longevity.

This day.

While Su Qing was cultivating, she suddenly sensed something and came to the outside world.

Suddenly, a vine fell from the large Chinese toon tree, twisting and turning into the shape of a dragon.

A flash of light appeared in the void beside him, revealing a figure—the Sword Immortal Su Huan. He was still dressed as a Taoist priest, carrying a wooden sword, and bowed to the wooden dragon, saying, "Greetings, True Lord."

Since his return, the "Eastern Extreme Qingdi True Lord" had rarely shown himself, recuperating within the Qingtian Heaven he had created. His daily outings were usually carried out by horned wood dragon avatars he casually conjured. At this moment, the horned wood dragon, its eyes emerald green, gazed into the distance: "A distinguished guest has arrived. Follow me to greet him." "A distinguished guest? A Golden Core True Lord's distinguished guest? Another important figure?" Su Qing was secretly surprised, and followed Su Huan, landing behind the horned wood dragon.

The dragon soared into the air, its body expanding in an instant, countless vines swirling wildly, their verdant branches transforming into a hundred-zhang-long dragon that landed in mid-air. A yellow auspicious cloud drifted in, and below stood a young man in a white robe, with countless intersecting rings emanating from his eyes.

With a sudden burst of divine power, Master Suqing felt that this person seemed strangely familiar...

In an instant, she realized that the source of this sense of familiarity was the esoteric monk Sangji, whom she had encountered when the "Kui Zang Xian Qing Zhen Jun" was trying to achieve the perfection of the Golden Elixir!

The other party was a Buddhist disciple back then, how did he become a Buddha now? Or is he an incarnation of the Buddha descending to earth?

Regardless, the other party was a Golden Core cultivator, while she, a Purple Mansion True Person, didn't even have the right to speak to him.

"This humble monk, White Bone King, greets Fellow Daoist Guangmu..." Fang Qing said with a smile. "Not at all, not at all. This old man should thank Fellow Daoist for saving my life."

The hundred-zhang-long Horned Wood Dragon, awe-inspiring in its power, appeared remarkably humble at this moment. This was not only due to the great favor Sangji had shown it in the past, but also because of the dragon's extraordinary abilities!

How terrifying is the "Kui Zang Xian Qing Zhen Jun"? The "Kui Mu" treasure is so powerful that almost all Golden Core True Monarchs forget the name of Guang Mu, but this one still remembers it vividly...

"Please come in, esteemed guest, and we will serve you tea." Jiao Mu Jiao voluntarily shrank his size, resembling a small emerald snake, and coiled around Su Huanzhen's arm.

The two entered the Heavenly Horn Gate and sat down under the large Chinese toon tree. Master Suqing bowed respectfully and withdrew, and soon returned with a tea set.

Next to the tea set, there was also a bluish-green wooden core.

Then the emerald green snake spoke: "This 'Great Toon Tree Heart' can add sixty years to the lifespan of a True Person of the Purple Mansion. It contains the life force of 'Horn Wood' and tastes quite good. Please, True Lord, savor it carefully."

Seeing Su Qing brewing tea, Fang Qing took the teacup, took a small sip, and immediately felt a warm, spring-like feeling from the [Horn Wood] envelop his entire body. He couldn't help but nod slightly: "Indeed, it is good tea."

The top-tier spiritual resources that the immortals below flocked to, risking their lives for, were nothing more than things he could enjoy in his daily life.

"I've come today to ask you some questions, fellow Daoist, about the 'ancient times'..." Fang Qing drank his tea and then revealed his purpose in full: "Also about... the Dragon Lord of the Flood Dragon Palace."

"I know very little about the ancient times..." A human-like emotion appeared in the small blue snake's eyes: "After all, I only recently succeeded in obtaining the Gold rank. As for that 'Heavenly Abyss Dragon Lord,' not only did he obtain the [Water-Gathering] Gold rank, he also seems to possess a Sword Dao subordinate or superior rank, which is truly difficult to deal with..."

"The Way of the Sword?" Fang Qing couldn't help but sigh. Every Golden Core True Monarch who has lived from ancient times to the present day has some skill.

"Exactly!" Guangmu Zhenjun said with emotion, "It is unknown whether this golden position was originally present in heaven and earth, or whether it was later realized by someone... The position has long been without an owner. Obviously, the original owner either perished early or abandoned the position... until that Dragon Lord realized a subordinate or successor position."

In this way, that "Tianxi Lingyuan Dragon Lord" must be at least at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm.

Of course, this also shows that the virtue of water is indeed difficult to prove, which led this dragon king to give up the pure path of "duty".

"That Dragon Lord does not pay homage to the Phoenix, but considers himself the leader of the scaled creatures and the lord of the aquatic races, outside of the demon race. He has a poor relationship with Falling Phoenix Mountain and looks down on us humans."

Guangmu Zhenjun said meaningfully, "If you wish to visit, fellow Daoist, please be careful—"

"I see, thank you for your guidance, fellow Daoist." Fang Qing stroked the teacup, seemingly lost in thought.

a few days later.

Qi Refining Channel.

Blood Fiend Island Cave.

As expected, the Jiao Palace remained closed, and Sangji was nowhere to be seen. Fang Qing sighed softly. This trip had yielded quite a lot, in addition to visiting various Golden Core forces.

At least, with that one piece of [Ji Water] metal nature to comprehend, one's own [Ji Water] pursuit of metal is a smooth path, free from confusion.

Furthermore, with such an ancestor of the [Ji Shui] lineage presiding over the main position, no matter which golden position below the main position one wants to attain, one's chances of success will increase by three points!

Not only that... actually, my highest level of cultivation right now is [Female Earth]!

Fang Qing took a deep breath and, upon learning that Sangji had returned to the Eight Great Cold Forest Buddhist Lands, immediately withdrew that wisp of consciousness.

Then, by leveraging the status of the "Tao-Born Pearl" and its "omnipresent" power, the initiation technique is reversed!

Ugh!

In an instant, a powerful metallic force surged forth, causing the surrounding soil to expand and grow wildly.

A patch of yellow-black auspicious clouds appeared in the sky at some unknown time.

Fang Qing's aura surged wildly, and various mysterious phenomena emerged.

The power of the four supernatural abilities multiplied: "Rebirth Land," "White Bone Contemplation," "Washing Away Worldly Ties," and "Death Terror." Points of golden light condensed and transformed into the golden nature and status of "Female Earth," far surpassing what could be obtained from that Buddhist treasure.

Then, endless golden light condensed within Fang Qing's body, transforming into a semi-illusory point.

"A divine pill...?"

He sighed, knowing that even if he encountered that Fiend God again, he could easily blow it to death with a single breath.

"His status and authority are already infinitely close to those of a Golden Core True Monarch..."

"But... after all, there's no gold medal."

Fang Qing sighed: "But this is different... My current cultivation level, and even my understanding of the principles of the [Lady] position, is at the Golden Core True Monarch level. Once I go to the Qi Absorption Dao World, Heaven and Earth will surely respond with the Golden Position."

Of course, now sitting on the throne of the Lady is Sangji, who has attained the Golden Core stage. The Golden Core stage has no boundaries and is no longer restricted from staying in the Secret Realm.

Therefore, as soon as one senses the "Lady" position, Sangji will immediately discover it, and the two will become enemies in a battle of wits!

One person sits in the golden seat, while the other is vying for it. Once a struggle begins, the outcome is obvious!

However, if Sangji were to step down voluntarily, Fang Qing would certainly be able to ascend to the position of [Lady]!

Even if Sangji doesn't voluntarily withdraw, his family can rely on their profound Taoist skills to temporarily devise a method for seeking wealth, to ask for [Lady] to be in a favorable position, [Lady] to be in a position of need, [Lady] to be a guest... or even [Lady] to be the host!

Of course, there are still people who believe in the "Lady" position, but it is more difficult to seek the "Lady" position through the path of a subordinate.

This is also thanks to the special nature of the Dao Sheng Pearl; otherwise, even if Sangji personally bestowed the initiation, he would not have been able to create a [Lady] Divine Pill.

Fang Qing breathed a sigh of relief.

He can now immediately request the [Lady] and [Ji Shui] simply by going to the world of Fu Qi Dao!

But they themselves were hesitant to do so.

After all, the Great Sun Tathagata had already revealed his true colors, and Fang Qing was a little scared. If his own true form went to the world of Qi Cultivation, he would be grabbed by an unknown hand and instantly refined while seeking gold!

As for seeking gold within the Qi Refining Path?

This is clearly impossible.

Because both the Lady and the Water of the Bamboo Grove are outside the cave, if one wants to obtain gold, the cave must be opened to connect the inner and outer voids!

This is something that would normally require an external "year-endowment" to be present.

Opening the Primordial Heaven ahead of time will only benefit powerful True Lords such as 'Great Sun Tathagata' and 'Taiyin'.

"However... there's also [Mystic Lightning]!"

"The [Mysterious Thunder] is located within the cave, so verifying it is not a problem. It's just a pity that my cultivation is too shallow; I've only mastered one aspect of the [Mysterious Thunder] divine power..."

Fang Qing smiled slightly: "Since I can't ask, then I won't... I'll just force myself on you!"

According to traditional methods of seeking gold, one must naturally achieve perfect mastery of the four supernatural powers and accumulate imagery in order to attract attention to the gold position.

But he understood the difference between attaining enlightenment and seeking gold, and now he had another thought. "In the past, I couldn't grasp the location of the [Mysterious Thunder] and the Thunder Palace because my own magical power and rank were insufficient... but now I am a Divine Core!"

"With the outside world in such a frenzy, every bit of strength we gain as quickly as possible is crucial!"

Fang Qing patted his storage bag, and several items related to the Thunder Palace immediately appeared: the Xuanlei Drum, with its fierce lightning, the magnificent "Ten Thousand Thunder Palace Map," and a jade thunder talisman.

His eyes instantly turned a hazy, jewel-like color, and his status rose infinitely.

Rumble!

The entire Blood Fiend Island began to rumble, and powerful magical energy fluctuations emerged, which even late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators like Tian Sha and Ming Yue could not withstand, forcing them to land on the ground.

Then, they saw a half-length statue soar into the sky, reaching the thirty-sixth layer of clouds. It wore a white robe and its eyes, like the sun and moon, shone with an earthy yellow luster.

Rings of wondrous light emanated from the center of this divine elixir, continuously spreading outwards, carrying with them all sorts of mysteries.

At this moment, countless cultivators in the East Sea cultivation world who practiced earth-attribute techniques felt completely refreshed, and even the bottlenecks they had encountered in the past were broken through.

Even those cultivators who were in seclusion to form their core or condense their nascent soul seemed to have divine assistance, breaking through their cultivation barriers in one fell swoop.

The earth surged, the tombs roared, and the yin earth accumulated, so that the many yin spirits and ghosts were no longer agitated and found peace.
