Forging Immortality through the Dao Seed

"Senior Brother, why today——"

In the palace.

Zhang Jing sat cross-legged, his gaze unconsciously turned to Feng Wuyu, showing a hesitant demeanor.

After the end of the True Teaching Assembly.

He and Feng Wuyu went straight to their Immortal Island.

One reason was to catch up on old times.

On the other hand, Zhang Jing had many doubts in his heart and wanted to ask for advice.

Across from him.

Feng Wuyu seemed to have guessed his thoughts, a trace of a smile flashing across his face.

"Junior Brother, you want to ask why, in spite of Senior Sister Kong promising to give you all your due luck movement, I still risked pressure to fight for your Mysterious Realm Management Right?"

Zhang Jing nodded.

Feng Wuyu contemplated for a moment, then sighed and patiently explained:

"Junior Brother, let's put it this way. Once you have the management right of a Secret Realm, it means you will have the priority to obtain all kinds of precious resources and innate divine items nurtured in the Secret Realm."

"Even if we don't need them ourselves, we can still share them with our brothers and sisters in the Nine Domains."

"Compared to these innate divine items, what's the worth of some ordinary luck movement?"

Upon hearing this.

Zhang Jing suddenly understood.

"Innate Divine Items! I see."

No wonder earlier at the True Teaching Assembly.

When Senior Brother Feng Wuyu was fighting for the control of the Mirror Realm for me, the attitudes of the other brothers and sisters were incredibly ambiguous.

There were so many underlying power struggles involved.

The number of Secret Realms under the jurisdiction of Grand Brightness Cave Heaven was ultimately limited.

If I were to participate in the distribution of Mysterious Realm Management Right, it would mean the number of Secret Realms controlled by other brothers and sisters would decrease, and the resources they would gain in the future would naturally dwindle tremendously.

Don't forget.

Behind these true teachings are complex power structures.

When it comes to their own interests.

It's unsurprising that they went along with the flow and supported Senior Sister Kong."

Afterwards.

Zhang Jing showed a trace of doubt on his face: "Senior Brother, what about master..."

"Master's meaning is simple, everything depends on your own ability."

Feng Wuyu smiled, continuing to say:

"In Master's eyes, these competitions of ours are just like children playing house. There's no logic to adults personally involving themselves in trivial children disputes."

Having said that.

Expectation was evident in his gaze towards Zhang Jing.

"Junior Brother, try to cultivate to the Unity Realm Stage as soon as possible. Only when you reach this level can you completely control the resources and rights that True Teachings should have."

"Instead of being helpless like now."

"Though I want to help, as you can see, it's difficult for me to do so on my own."

"Junior Brother, I understand."

Zhang Jing nodded forcefully.

He was deeply moved by this True Teaching Assembly.

Although they've always been courteous to each other, even after I officially became a True Teaching, they all sent gifts to congratulate me.

But in the real struggle for interests.

No one was willing to give an inch.

At this moment.

The disadvantage of a deficient cultivation level became shockingly apparent.

He breathed out a puff of stale air, then, as if realizing something, he hurriedly looked at his senior brother again, and tentatively asked:

"Senior Brother, there's something I'd like to ask."

"Please, go ahead, Junior Brother."

Feng Wuyu said with a smile.

"May I ask if there's anyone in our sect who is proficient in the path of Artifact Refining? Could you introduce him to me?"

"Artifact Refining?"

Feng Wuyu gave a slight start, then looked at Zhang Jing as if he understood.

"Junior Brother, do you want to refine that piece of innate blood metal into a magic tool? Although, this innate blood metal is extremely precious, would it be a bit hasty to refine it into a magic tool now?"

"Senior Brother, I just want to ask someone to refine it into a spiritual embryo of a curved blade magic tool first. There's no need to add any Dao restrictions."

Zhang Jing smiled slightly, then explained.

Upon hearing this.

Feng Wuyu immediately made sense of it, reacting with surprise:

"It's the legacy of Divine Monarch?"

Zhang Jing nodded with a smile.

"Senior Brother understands, it's just that the innate blood metal is indeed an innate divine item, and ordinary cultivators cannot deal with it."

A thoughtful look flashed in the eyes of Feng Wuyu.

After a while.

His eyes flickered.

"Junior Brother, the most suitable person that I can think of is Lou Buyi of the Nine Yo Fire Cave Heaven. Like me, he is a direct disciple of the Tao Sect, ranked tenth, and follows the path of Separated Fire Dao. However——"

"However what?"

Zhang Jing's eyes sparkled.

Meeting the intense gaze of his junior brother.

Feng Wuyu spoke hesitantly,

"Lou Buyi is not easy to deal with, he has a high opinion of himself, and it's not easy to persuade him. Prepare yourself, junior brother."

"As for the recommendation, if junior brother has nothing urgent, senior brother can take you there right now. His training ground happens to be in Dong Ji Immortal Continent."

"In that case, I'll have to trouble the senior brother."

Zhang Jing calculated the time, he still has over a month until the preaching, so there should be enough time to visit first.

"You're too polite, junior brother."

...

Dong Ji Immortal Continent.

In the south, there was an awe-inspiringly red Divine Mountain that reached tens of thousands of feet high.

This mountain was called Difei Mountain.

Damask flames spewing all year round, it was incomparably hot.

With the Difei Mountain as the center, the surrounding area of several tens of thousands of miles is barren. The closer to Difei Mountain, the more exaggerated the scene becomes.

Only a few mortal kingdoms and some fire monster races, survived in this barren land with great difficulty.

On this day,

A dazzling bronze divine light suddenly splits the sky, breaking the tranquility of the place.

...

The main hall of the Difei Mountain.

"Haha, senior brother had the feeling today that we would have esteemed guests, but I didn't expect it to be junior brother Feng. Please, take a seat."

A tall man wearing a crimson dragon robe enthusiastically leads Feng Wuyu and Zhang Jing to their seats. The man then turned and sat on the main seat, with a smile on his face,

"By the way, who is this junior brother?"

After exchanging greetings, the man turned to look at Zhang Jing,

His eyes were filled with a hint of curiosity,

"Junior brother Zhang Jing, I'm pleased to meet senior brother Lou."

Zhang Jing stood up and saluted with a polite expression.

"Senior brother Lou, let me introduce you. This is junior brother Zhang Jing. He is a direct disciple recently accepted by our teacher."

The voice of Feng Wuyu timely came through,

"Oh? Then the previous toll of the Eight Wilderness Bell was because of junior brother Zhang."

Lou Buyi's eyes flashed, and he suddenly understood.

After making some small talk,

"Have the two junior brothers come over to refine a magical weapon?"

Lou Buyi got serious and went straight to the point.

Below,

Without any hesitation, Zhang Jing stood up and said:

"Senior brother Lou, I don't mean to hide anything. This time, I want to ask senior brother to help refine a magic weapon - a curved blade spiritual embryo - with innate divine gold."

As the sounds fade,

"Innate divine gold essence?"

Lou Buyi looked at Zhang Jing in surprise,

"Junior brother Zhang, I believe junior brother Feng has told you the rules here. This is innate divine gold, which is very costly to refine, so..."

He watched Zhang Jing with a teasing smile, then fell silent.

Upon seeing this,

Zhang Jing had no choice but to take a deep breath. A hint of a nervous smile appeared on his face as he said: "Please give me some advice, senior brother."

"That will depend on what price you're willing to pay! If it's just a bit of luck movement, you might as well go back."

The other party hinted.

The hall suddenly fell into silence.

After a long while,

"Senior brother, are you after... the innate divine gold essence?" guessed Zhang Jing.

Soon as he'd finished,

A look of 'you can be taught' appeared on the other party's face.

Zhang Jing's heart instantly sank.

This guy really did demand it. He wasn't afraid of bursting his belly!

At this moment,

"Senior brother Lou, we are well aware of the preciousness of divine gold essence, but the price you asked for is a bit too high."

Senior Brother Feng Wuyu, who was sitting off to one side, stood up and rebutted indignantly.

"Haha, junior brothers, you must also know that this divine gold essence is extremely uncommon. Inside, it contains an extremely terrifying power of sin. If I help junior brother Zhang to refine it, I will also be taking a risk. If anything unexpected happens and the power of sin pollutes the innate fire and lungs of the training center, it will become a problem."

Meeting the gazes of Zhang Jing and Feng Wuyu, Lou Buyi explained with his usual expression.

"Senior brother Lou, couldn't we negotiate further? For this refinement, I could offer acquired purple qi as a reward."

Zhang Jing was a bit reluctant to accept the outcome.

"Haha, don't joke, junior brother. How much acquired purple qi do you have? A strand? Or a wisp? It is far from enough!"

Lou Buyi laughed it off and waved his hand.

However,

to his surprise,

"Senior brother, how much acquired purple qi do you want? Feel free to say."

Zhang Jing said in a deep voice, full of self-confidence.
