Cultivation: Being Immortal-Chapter 432:

Bing State, Wangxian Sect

Lin Jiang looked at the information sent by his disciple, sighed deeply, Zhou Huaiying wanted to explore the hiding place of the four major families, but no one could stop him, not even Yun State.

In recent years, Zhou Huaiying has been visiting various sects continuously. His strength has long been known in the cultivation world. With his peak cultivation, he may not be the top person in the cultivation world, but at least in the top three. With such strength, who could stop him?

Lin Jiang wrote a letter secretly delivered to Lin Ying from Yun State, warning them not to act rashly. If Zhou Huaiying is lucky and takes away the treasure, let it be for now. This grudge will be settled later.

When Li Qing breaks through and returns, Lin Jiang will assign her a task – to assassinate Zhou Huaiying. Of course, not with Li Qing’s current cultivation, but to give her a goal.

Yun State didn’t act recklessly. They cannot produce a Tao Achieving expert to cause trouble for Zhou Huaiying, as it would be suicidal.

In just a few months, disciples sent to North State by Lin Jiang returned. Ten-plus people went, two golden core disciples were lost, but still, they didn’t find Third Sister Lin Die’s whereabouts.

As time passed quickly day by day, a year later, Li Qing returned, now at the Soul Changing cultivation level.

Li Qing is truly Lin Jiang’s talented disciple chosen from many. She progressed smoothly from the Qi Refining Building foundation, surpassing Lin Jiang in cultivation speed. Lin Jiang took about 1,800 years to reach Soul Changing, while Li Qing did it in less than 300 years with fewer resources needed.

This is the advantage of a talented disciple – shorter cultivation time and less resource consumption. For example, just by using a Soul Melting Pill, Li Qing saved two pills, which could cover the expenses of Wangxian Sect for several years.

Lin Jiang gave the Wangxian Sect to Li Qing and traveled to Tianxian City in Zhong State to find Xia Qingshan. Lin Jiang thought that Xia Qingshan must have recovered by now, so he needed to ask him for money. It would be best to have Xia Qingshan calculate things again, even if they couldn’t find Third Sister. Lin Jiang also wanted to calculate other things.

Lin Jiang found the demon clan’s activities unsettling and felt a sense of foreboding. If Xia Qingshan could predict the demon clan’s actions, Lin Jiang could prepare in advance.

Traveling all the way to Zhong State, a hundred miles from Tianxian City, Lin Jiang sensed intense spiritual energy fluctuations. With a thought, Lin Jiang activated his invisibility technique and completely vanished in the air.

Lin Jiang quietly approached the area of the spiritual energy fluctuation and saw people fighting, including Xia Qingshan battling against a Void Achieving.

Xia Qingshan was in a difficult situation as he only had Soul Changing cultivation level and seemed inexperienced in fighting, constantly being attacked.

"Xia Qingshan has met his match this time. The Void Achieving is a disciple of Shenmu Sect who traveled far to seek his fortune-telling services but was refused, causing an affront."

"Xia Qingshan has offended many people, relying on his skills…"

"The last person who was as arrogant as Yang Luo from the Holy Heavenly Sect had died."

"Yes, him…"

Many people were watching the battle around, some were enjoying the misfortune. Xia Qingshan’s rise to fame was similar to Yang Luo’s in the past, both getting famous quickly in Tianxian City.

Yang Luo had the backing of a powerful figure, Tao Achieving, back then. Even though she was arrogant, the major sects had to show her respect, especially since she survived multiple assassination attempts.

On the other hand, Xia Qingshan’s background was mysterious, without any prominent backing. His talent, along with his sharp tongue and independent status, earned him the title of a skilled cultivator. However, this didn’t hold much weight in the eyes of the major sects. When they asked him for help and he refused, it led to conflicts.

"Yours kill me without reason, I, Xia Qingshan, curse your Shenmu Sect with major disasters for ten years, breaking Tao Achieving, and causing devastation for miles, harming all living beings, and…"

"Noisy, too annoying."

After more than a hundred rounds of fighting, Xia Qingshan was heavily injured. Just before his death, he cursed the Shenmu Sect. However, the Void Achieving from the Shenmu Sect only found it bothersome and escorted Xia Qingshan to his final resting place.

"*Sound of impact*"

Xia Qingshan was cut in half by a sword, blood splattered everywhere, and everyone around couldn’t help but sigh.

"Just a Soul Changing expert dares to disrespect our Shenmu Sect, this is the consequence."

Shenmu Sect’s Void Achieving took away Xia Qingshan’s bag of belongings, and then left without looking back.

Because it was outside Tianxian City, even the disciples of Danxia Sect didn’t care about the matter and let the Shenmu Sect disciples leave.

"What a loss."

Lin Jiang watched the Shenmu Sect disciples leave, feeling so angry. Xia Qingshan owed him a valuable item, a high-interest loan which was now gone.

Lin Jiang went to Tianxian City to find out what happened. It was simple – after Xia Qingshan recovered from his injuries, he continued his business. A few days ago, Void Achieving from Shenmu Sect arrived, asking Xia Qingshan for help. When Xia Qingshan refused, there was a misunderstanding which led to his tragic end.

Zhong State, Shenmu Sect

He Qunfeng is the new leader of the Nascent Soul in the Shenmu Sect, but he will soon step down from this position because he is about to break through the Soul Changing stage.

When reaching the Soul Changing stage, which is considered mid to upper level in the Shenmu Sect, the leader automatically steps down from their position and takes on a higher-ranking role.

Since the fall of the Shenmu Ancestor, the Shenmu Sect has lost its greatest heritage. Although the sect no longer has divine fruits to consume, it is still a top sect in the cultivation world, with a complete inheritance and numerous high-level Spiritual Herb Gardens. With He Qunfeng as the Nascent Soul leader of the Shenmu Sect and the descendants of the Tao Achieving expert, obtaining a Soul Melting Pill is simple.

He Qunfeng is confident about this breakthrough. His talent and understanding are outstanding, and he has practiced the same cultivation technique as his grandfather, gaining a wealth of experience in breaking through realms.

"Breaking through the Soul Changing stage before the age of two hundred and fifty will set a new record for our Shenmu Sect."

He Qunfeng, full of confidence at the age of two hundred and forty-five with a perfected Nascent Soul cultivation, believes that by breaking through the Soul Changing stage, he can set a new record for the Shenmu Sect and become a highly sought-after genius. Given his age and status, he is sure to receive full support from the sect, with the potential to reach the Void Achieving level and even the Tao Achieving level.

Prepared and determined, He Qunfeng takes the Soul Melting Pill and begins his breakthrough, following the sect’s provided guidance step by step.

Months pass by in the blink of an eye, and He Qunfeng reaches the final step where the Heart Demon emerges. Cultivators face the Heart Demon trial after reaching the Nascent Soul stage, but as long as they are not aiming to break through to the Tao Achieving level, overcoming the Heart Demon is not too difficult. Sects have medicines and secret techniques to help cultivators navigate through this challenge, passed down through the ages.

"Puff"

However, just when everything seemed under control, He Qunfeng got into trouble. Under the influence of the Heart Demon, he felt his spiritual power in turmoil, his mind in confusion. The once smoothly running spiritual power suddenly went wild, causing him to cough up blood uncontrollably.

"No."

Startled by this unexpected turn of events, He Qunfeng hastily took a pill to stabilize his mind, trying to suppress the chaotic spiritual power. However, in his haste, the power became even more ferocious, devouring his vitality inside him.

"Boom."

He Qunfeng’s grandfather broke through the formation of He Qunfeng’s cave, protecting him and sensing the chaotic spiritual power inside. He forcefully opened the cave to enter.

"Fenger."

He Qunfeng’s grandfather rushed in and saw He Qunfeng lying on the ground. He cried out in sorrow, quickly retrieving a pill and placing it in He Qunfeng’s mouth.

He Qunfeng’s grandfather tried to refine the pill’s power, but unknowingly fueled the strength of the rebellious spiritual power inside He Qunfeng, shattering his organs with its force.

"What’s happening?"

A person walked in through the door, he was a cultivator from the Shenmu Sect named Tao Achieving with the surname He.

"Father, please save Feng, he has been possessed by evil spirits."

"Make way."

Tao Achieving cultivator named He stepped forward, reached out and grabbed He Qunfeng’s wrist, infusing pure spiritual energy into He Qunfeng’s body, forcefully suppressing the evil energy.

"Father, how is Feng doing?"

"I’m asking you, how did this happen? Feng was breaking through, how could he be possessed by evil spirits?"

Tao Achieving cultivator named He turned around and asked. With the Shenmu Sect’s rich experience in Nascent Soul breakthroughs, they should have been prepared.

"I don’t know, all the required elixirs were prepared in advance, Feng has been preparing for this breakthrough for years. He told me he had a 90% chance of success."

"Oh, it’s too late, the spiritual energy is flowing backwards, his heart meridians are destroyed, his body can’t hold up anymore, his life will end within three days."

"Oh, father, please save Feng’er quickly."

He Qunfeng’s grandfather was shocked. He Qunfeng was the most outstanding among the descendants of the He family. The He family had put in a lot of effort on him, as he was the most beloved grandson.

"If the heart meridian is destroyed, even sixth or seventh-grade spirit medicines won’t work."

Tao Achieving cultivator surnamed He said. In the process of breakthrough, falling into demonic cultivation would result in death. In fact, after many years of development in the cultivation world, this tragic situation can be largely avoided. Most people who fall into demonic cultivation, as long as they are well prepared, only end up with serious injuries. However, He Qunfeng encountered it this time.

"Father…"

"Extract his Nascent Soul, find a way to restore his physical body, there may still be a chance."

Tao Achieving cultivator surnamed He said. With the heart meridian destroyed, the cost of revival is too great. Perhaps if Shenmu Ancestor is not dead, seeking a bottle of Eternal Spirit Liquid may provide a chance. But now that Shenmu Ancestor has fallen, where would the Eternal Spirit Liquid come from? It might be better to give up early and make other plans.

Tao Achieving cultivator surnamed He stopped talking. Although He Qunfeng was his descendant, separated by thousands of years, he didn’t have much emotional attachment. With tens of thousands of He family descendants, if one died, another could be cultivated.

Tao Achieving cultivator surnamed He left He Qunfeng’s cave and returned home. Before he even sat down, a Sound Passing Talisman flew into his hand. As Tao Achieving cultivator surnamed He read it, his face changed greatly.
