Cultivation Starts with Rejuvenation

Wu Weixiong’s appearance stirred a commotion.

His being jointly wanted by the Liu Family and Spirit Beast Mountain thirty years ago caused an uproar across Cangyun State, especially after some Tribulation Cultivators committed murder to seize treasures and pinned the blame on Wu Weixiong, making his notorious reputation known to everyone in Cangyun State.

Of course, the main reason is the well-known grievances between him and the Liu Family.

Moments later, everyone regained their composure, and numerous cultivators at the venue turned their gaze toward the Liu Family’s Fake Pill Ancestor.

This was the Liu Clan Territory after all.

Not only does the Fake Pill Ancestor preside over, but there is also a Tier Three combat power Clan Guardian Spirit Beast.

No matter how notorious Wu Weixiong is, he is just a late-period Foundation Establishment cultivator; even having a late-period Earth-Split Bear won’t cause any waves within the Liu Family territory.

Coming here is equivalent to walking into the trap.

However, while cultivators across the state prepared to enjoy the spectacle and anticipate a Fake Pill level suppression battle,

The originally furious Liu Family Ancestor’s expression suddenly softened, even showing a kind demeanor: "Wei Bear, you are a rising star of our Liu Family. Why speak of attending as a guest? Come quickly, the Earth Dragon Beast we are extracting blood from today is the same one you nurtured as a child."

"..." The cultivators were momentarily stunned.

Li Ji’an observed this, but he was unsurprised.

Since learning that his Sea of Consciousness was marked with a Curse Seal by the Golden Puppet Demon Monarch from the Boundless Domain, he paid close attention to the situation between the Two Domains. As soon as the Nascent Soul True Monarch of Ten Thousand Laws Palace stopped suppressing the Golden Puppet Demon Monarch, he knew he had to make a quick decision.

Moreover, the detailed information he obtained through the intelligence department of the Biyun Sect offered first-hand insights, including details of the personnel falling and returning between the Two Domains.

About a year ago, he had already learned that Wu Weixiong surprisingly managed to escape back from the Demon Realm.

He seemed to have completed a secret task for a high-ranking member of Ten Thousand Laws Palace and was brought into the Ten Thousand Laws Palace.

He stayed for three months before coming out.

Subsequently, Ten Thousand Laws Palace announced that they would not pursue any of his past matters and granted him an identity to walk outside on behalf of the palace.

With this identity, even the small-scale Fake Pill Liu Family in Cangyun State, let alone Biyun Sect, could not confidently act against Wu Weixiong.

The Foundation Establishment cultivators attending weren’t as well-informed, but the Liu Family surely knew.

"Hahaha, now you want to establish a relationship with me? Very well, I’ll give the Liu Family an opportunity—hand over the Sacred Beast Pill Formula to me, and you’re permitted to use my name in the future." Wu Weixiong laughed heartily as he walked up to the high platform, staring directly at the Liu Family’s Fake Pill Ancestor.

"This..."

"What is going on? Why is that guy... Fellow Daoist Wu so bold?"

"Could it be that Fellow Daoist Wu has found a new strong backer?"

This scene left the audience below the platform shocked.

The Liu Family Ancestor’s face twitched, wishing he could tear Wu Weixiong into pieces, but he had to welcome him with a smile: "Wei Bear, your words are distant; the Sacred Beast Pill is our clan’s guardian treasure. If you need a Sacred Beast Pill, I will immediately send someone to find a suitable Spirit Beast for refining, and once the pill is formed, you may use it anytime you wish."

"Oh? Ancestor means to gift me a Sacred Beast Pill?" Wu Weixiong asked with a smile.

"As the pride of our Liu Family, it’s fitting to receive a Sacred Beast Pill!" Liu Family Ancestor affirmed.

Wu Weixiong’s expression shifted. This visit was not only to showcase his identity given by the Ten Thousand Laws Palace and disgrace the Liu Family but also to obtain a Sacred Beast Pill.

Otherwise, his Earth-Split Bear companion would be unable to reach Tier Three.

Although requesting the Liu Family’s Clan Guardian Sacred Beast Pill Formula was mere banter, it was intended to provoke the Liu Family.

Originally planning to clash with the Liu Family then reveal his Ten Thousand Laws Palace identity token to astonish everyone, who would have thought...

"This old fox!"

Punching into cotton, the resentment Wu Weixiong had accumulated for years found no outlet.

He knew his own situation; Ten Thousand Laws Palace looked down on loose cultivators with multiple allegiances like him. Being given a wandering identity was the limit.

And this identity only had deterrent power, not actual combat support.

Even if the Liu Family truly decided to kill him, the Ten Thousand Laws Palace would only use it as an excuse to seize the Liu Family’s spiritual talent and resources; bullying them on account of his given identity was impossible!

"Hmph! Once I reach Core Formation, once my Big Bear Demon Condensing Pill is formed, then... without needing any identity given by others, I’ll have the Liu Family grovel!"

Personal strength is the most reliable background!

"Within a year, I want to see the Sacred Beast Pill!" Ultimately, Wu Weixiong could only nitpick over time.

"A year? Wei Bear, you’re aware of the process of refining Sacred Beast Pills; one year is likely unrealistic." The Liu Family Ancestor said with difficulty.

Wu Weixiong sneered: "Unrealistic? Or are you just trying to deceive me?"

"Heh, my Liu Family always conducts matters with integrity; how could we deceive? If so, what do you think about this? Starting today, Wei Bear, you may mobilize non-management clan members to seek out core medicine beasts like the Red Blood Dragon Mound. As long as you find a medicine beast, the clan will immediately prepare other supplementary herbs for you and invite a Pill Master to concoct the pill." Saying this, the Liu Family Ancestor glanced at Li Ji’an.

"It just so happens that Alchemist Li is here today and can be a witness!"

At this moment, among everyone present, only Li Ji’an, with his honored guest elder alchemist status from Biyun Sect, could stand on equal footing with Wu Weixiong.

"Oh?" Wu Weixiong, following the direction, just spotted Li Ji’an.

"Haha, Alchemist Li, we meet again. How truly fortunate. My pleasure, my pleasure." Wu Weixiong was impressed by Li Ji’an’s ability to concoct Upper Grade Sacred Beast Pills under such dire circumstances back then.

After all, how could an ordinary cultivator remain composed to perform alchemy when encountering such enemy raids and attacks?
