Chapter 318: Devouring Life
As one of the top five peaks of Azure Pond Sect, Yuanwu Peak towered twice as high as the nearby Qingsui Peak, overlooking various other immortal peaks below. Misty clouds swirled all around, and being the first peak for weapon forging, fire veins surged intermittently. Occasionally, cultivators ascended and descended, creating a lively scene.
In a hidden cave on Yuanwu Peak, the spiritual qi was dense, and a spirit spring gushed forth. The dark stones stood out vividly against the white spiritual mist while a crystal jade table sparkled with brilliance, holding a pot of wine and two jade cups.
On the left was a person dressed in white and wearing a jade crown. He had a handsome appearance and an ethereal demeanor, exuding an otherworldly aura. He held a jade cup, portraying a celestial elegance, and said with a beaming smile, "This Foundation Establishment Realm is indeed different. From now on, it will nourish life and extend my lifespan by three hundred years, granting me some divine abilities!"
The person on the right had an ordinary appearance. He nodded contentedly as he heard those words, paused, and said, "Muxian, you endured the pain of flesh and blood falling away for these twenty years, and finally, you have made it through."
"It was just a small ordeal…" Yu Muxian chuckled as he waved his hand dismissively, his expression resolute with a faint smile. "Senior Brother Tang, I only wish to cultivate divine abilities and seek the metallic essence. No matter how many hardships I face, I am willing to endure all of them. Although cultivating the Molten Metal Cave is painful, it directly points to the Dao of the Purple Mansion Realm… Nothing can replace it."
Senior Brother Tang nodded respectfully and spoke softly, "Since you have achieved Foundation Establishment Realm, should you send a letter home? I have not seen you contact the Yu Family for some time."
"No need!"
Yu Muxian's expression was cold, his aura of immortality imposing as he said sternly, "Chi Zhiyan deliberately told Yu Mugao some things to scare him. It has been years since he wrote to me. My big brother is always cunning and has probably seen through my words, no longer trusting me. Yu Yufeng is already dead, and the Yu Family has lost its influence on the lake. They can't provide me with Foundation Establishment Realm elixirs, and even daily supplies are becoming scarcer. The Yu Family has lost its usefulness… I just hope they do not drag me down."
Senior Brother Tang did not feel surprised at these words and only furrowed his brow, asking, "Why not uplift the Yu Family and scour the lake's resources for yourself?"
