Cultivating To Immortality

Thinking of Fang Hong's incredibly fast sword strike at the time, Zhang Zhuang still felt a lingering fear.

The sword light was just a flash in his eyes; he couldn't even see how Fang Hong drew his sword before his meridians were already severed.

He was very fortunate that it was just an ordinary spar back then, and Fang Hong showed mercy. If it had been a life-and-death battle, he would have probably been killed by that one sword strike, without even a chance to resist.

After listening to Zhang Zhuang's account, Wang Ba's face grew increasingly gloomy, and the atmosphere in the hall became oppressive.

Even Zhang Zhuang, a True Immortal at Perfection, could be easily defeated. This Fang Hong's strength must have far surpassed an ordinary True Immortal at Perfection, possibly even approaching the Golden Immortal realm.

Thinking of this, Wang Ba clenched his fists tightly, a ruthless glint flashing in his eyes.

"Such strength, it seems Xiaohu's death was definitely his doing."

Wang Ba was now convinced that his brother's death was definitely connected to Fang Hong.

"You go back and heal your injuries properly. You don't need to worry about him; I will handle it." Wang Ba looked at Zhang Zhuang, who was still sitting on the ground, his expression softening slightly.

With that, Wang Ba took out a storage bag and handed it to Zhang Zhuang, which contained one hundred thousand Immortal Stones and some Immortal Pills to enhance cultivation.

"Many thanks, Big Brother." Zhang Zhuang took the storage bag, a hint of gratitude in his eyes.

With that, he slowly stood up, exited the hall, and returned to his residence to heal his injuries.

After Zhang Zhuang left, Wang Ba patted an Immortal Beast Pouch at his waist.

With a series of squeaking sounds, a palm-sized black bat flew out of the Immortal Beast Pouch and landed on Wang Ba's palm.

This bat was pitch black, but its eyes were dark red, making it look particularly eerie.

It was the Immortal Beast Wang Ba kept, most skilled in tracking and surveillance.

Wang Ba said chillingly, "Go, keep a close eye on that kid for me. No matter where he goes, watch him carefully. Once he leaves his Immortal Cave, report to me immediately."

The black bat seemed to understand Wang Ba's words, squeaked a few times at him, then flapped its wings and floated out of the room, flying towards Fang Hong's Immortal Cave.

Only Wang Ba remained in the room, his face grim, his eyes filled with killing intent.

At this moment, Fang Hong was completely unaware of the surveillance Wang Ba had secretly set up. He was strolling through the market.

The sect market was always bustling and lively, with shops lined up one after another.

On both sides of the street, many disciples set up stalls on the ground, displaying various goods: talismans, Immortal Artifacts, Immortal Medicines, and so on.

Fang Hong's gaze swept over the crowd, even seeing many Inner Sect Disciples in purple uniforms.

The purple uniforms were particularly conspicuous in the crowd, signifying their higher status than Outer Sect Disciples.

Fang Hong slowed his pace, weaving through the stalls and shops, searching for the last three Immortal Medicines needed to refine Crimson Fire Pill.

Stopping and going like this, after about half an hour of browsing, Fang Hong finally found the three Immortal Medicines at a stall.

However, these three Immortal Medicines were not mature herbs, but merely three Immortal Medicine seeds.

Fang Hong was not disappointed; seeds and Immortal Medicines were the same to him. He had the years pearl and could quickly cultivate mature herbs.

These three Immortal Medicine seeds were purchased by Fang Hong from the stall of an Inner sect Senior Brother.

After the transaction was complete, Fang Hong did not leave immediately, but instead initiated a conversation with that Senior Brother, taking the opportunity to ask him some key questions about a True Immortal advancing to a Golden Immortal.

That Senior Brother was also quite amiable and patiently answered Fang Hong's questions.

He told Fang Hong that the difference between a Golden Immortal and a True Immortal lies in the Law concretization.

For a True Immortal Cultivator to breakthrough the bottleneck and advance to a Golden Immortal, besides overcoming the Yin Wind Tribulation, he must also cultivate at least one Law Meridian.

Only in this way can one forge a true Golden Immortal body and take that crucial step.

Afterward, the Senior Brother further explained what a Law Meridian was.

A Law Meridian is the condensation of the Law power one comprehends into a concrete form.

This form can be gaseous, liquid, or solid; the more condensed the form, the stronger the Law Meridian's power.

Subsequently, this Law Meridian must be used as a bridge to connect the ten Immortal Apertures within the body, forming a complete Law cycle.

Only then can one truly step into the Golden Immortal realm.

And to achieve Law concretization, the most direct and effective method is to refine some Immortal Medicines that contain pure Law power.

For example, for the most basic Five Elements Law, to concretize it, a Cultivator can choose to refine Hypericum, Wood Emperor Mushroom, Purple Water Lotus, fire bodhi fruit, and Earth Emperor Ginseng—these five types of Immortal Medicines.

These five Immortal Medicines have been verified by countless Senior Cultivators; each contains pure Five Elements Law power and is an excellent Immortal Medicine to assist Cultivators in Breaking through the Golden Immortal realm.

However, it is regrettable that these five Immortal Medicines are not ordinary items; they are all formed by the condensation of the Five Elements Qi of heaven and earth and cannot be Cultivated by artificial planting.

They can only be found in special locations where the Law power of heaven and earth is abundant, and their scarcity makes them exceptionally precious.

Fang Hong's heart stirred upon hearing this, and he quickly pressed the Senior Brother about where these precious Immortal Medicines could be found.

The Senior Brother replied that to find these Immortal Medicines, such as fire bodhi fruit, one could try their luck in the Flame Demon Mountain Range.

Immediately after, the Senior Brother introduced the situation of the Flame Demon Mountain Range to Fang Hong.

The Flame Demon Mountain Range is one of the famous dangerous places in the Eastern Luo Immortal Territory. It is covered in high temperatures all year round and is home to many powerful fire-attribute Demon Beasts.

But at the same time, it also hides enormous opportunities.

It is said that at the bottom of the mountain range, there is a super large fire-attribute Immortal Vein, and the power of the Immortal Vein continuously dissipates, condensing fire bodhi fruit in the core area of the Immortal Vein every once in a while.

It is precisely because of this that a large number of True Immortal Cultivators often disregard the danger and go to the Flame Demon Mountain Range to seek opportunities, just to find a fire bodhi fruit and use it to breakthrough to the Golden Immortal realm.

That Senior Brother also spoke of his own experience; he was training in the Flame Demon Mountain Range and fortunately found a fire bodhi fruit.

With the help of the fire bodhi fruit's fire Law, he successfully condensed a Law Meridian, passed the Yin Wind Tribulation, and advanced to the Golden Immortal realm.

Fang Hong firmly kept the location of the Flame Demon Mountain Range in mind, and he solemnly thanked that Senior Brother.

After bidding farewell to the Senior Brother, Fang Hong casually strolled around the market again, found nothing that moved his heart, and so he took the teleportation array back to his Immortal Cave.

As soon as Fang Hong returned to his Immortal Cave, he eagerly went into the years pearl space and planted the Immortal medicine seeds he had just bought.
