Immortal Refiner

As time passed, rumors of dubious authenticity spread, drawing more and more great cultivators towards the Great Wilderness Domain.

”I heard True Lord Tianyang dug up a peerless immortal medicine with a hundred thousand years of medicinal age within the immortal mansion!”

”True Lord Lingxu once tried to seal the Earth Vein in the Heavenly Gate Continent to stabilize the Immortal Mansion Ruins, but his cultivation wasn’t sufficient, and the ruins broke free.”

”A foundation establishment realm cultivator emerged from the Immortal Mansion Ruins, but his divine soul was completely blank, as if his mind had been stripped away!”

”The Immortal Mansion Ruins are guarded by a heaven-piercing spirit treasure! Its radiant light nearly illuminated the night sky to the point of transparency!”

”This is madness! Ethereal chanting of scriptures was heard emanating from a Side Hall within the Immortal Mansion Ruins.”

”...”

A flood of rumors and reports, each more outlandish than the last, made it impossible to discern the truth.

Yet, whenever news of the Immortal Mansion Ruins’ location surfaced, a swarm of cultivators would descend upon it, each driven by the mentality of ”better safe than sorry.”

The cultivation world of the Great Wilderness Domain was thrown into chaos by the mysterious Immortal Mansion Ruins.

The Azure Ridge Domain, being close to the Great Wilderness Domain, received the news almost immediately.

Li Qing, who was in seclusion cultivating in his cave abode, also learned of the matter.

”An Immortal Mansion Ruins even older than the ancient era...”

Li Qing murmured softly as he reviewed the intelligence report from his sect.

The intelligence contained various rumors about the immortal mansion: tales of immortal herbs over a hundred thousand years old, and heaven-piercing spirit treasures—all enough to drive any cultivator to madness.

Yet Li Qing remained composed. Having seen much of the world, he was not blinded by the unverified claims.

Upon learning of this, his first instinct was to question the authenticity of this self-moving immortal mansion.

”The Great Wilderness Domain is home to hidden Divine Transformation Stage Old Monsters,” he mused, ”both at Moonlit Ridge and in the Underground Ice Palace. I wonder what these old monsters think of this mysterious immortal mansion.”

After careful consideration, Li Qing decided against leaving his seclusion to join the commotion. However, he couldn’t remain entirely passive. At the very least, he needed to dispatch someone to gather the latest news about the mansion.

When it came to intelligence gathering, Li Qing immediately thought of Zhang Da, whom he had brought back from the Great Wilderness Domain. Having once operated a black market there, Zhang Da’s information-gathering skills were second to none.

Ultimately, Li Qing decided to send Zhang Da back to the Great Wilderness Domain to collect intelligence about the Immortal Mansion Ruins.

Not joining the fray didn’t mean he wouldn’t watch the spectacle.

Thus, under Li Qing’s orders, Zhang Da returned to the Great Wilderness Domain, resuming his old trade.

As for Li Qing, he continued to remain in seclusion in his cave abode, focusing on his cultivation.

For him, unless the Immortal Mansion Ruins contained an opportunity to accelerate his breakthrough to the Divine Transformation Stage, even the rarest treasures would not be worth his attention.

More than two months after the Immortal Mansion Ruins appeared, the enthusiasm of cultivators flocking to the Great Wilderness Domain to seek opportunities had not waned; instead, it had grown even more fervent.

This was because someone had truly obtained an opportunity!

A pseudo core formation stage cultivator from Southern Tai Prefecture, through a series of accidental events, had stumbled into the immortal mansion and emerged with a massive quantity of Purple Mansion Spirit Liquid!

This amount of Purple Mansion Spirit Liquid was enough to allow him to attempt the core formation realm seven or eight times!

Such a vast quantity of top-tier core formation spiritual material naturally caused a stir.

However, the cultivator was immediately summoned by the Ghost Sword Sect shortly after emerging.

As the current leader of the demonic path in the Great Wilderness Domain, the Ghost Sword Sect wielded absolute authority. What rogue cultivator would dare defy them?

Fortunately, the Ghost Sword Sect did not mistreat the pseudo core formation cultivator. After thoroughly questioning him about the conditions within the Immortal Mansion Ruins, they proactively exchanged two portions of Purple Mansion Spirit Liquid for one portion of yin-yang spirit liquid.

Though the trade was somewhat unfavorable, the cultivator remained ecstatic.

With these two superior core formation spiritual materials, his chances of successfully forming a Golden Core had significantly increased.

Soon, the cultivator’s experiences within the immortal mansion began to spread.

”I entered through a side door of the immortal mansion and found myself before a small purple mountain. On its slopes grew numerous spirit herbs, forming a medicinal garden bathed in a thick, alluring aura of spiritual energy.”

”As I was about to climb the mountain to gather the herbs, I discovered the base was shrouded in a powerful restriction. Despite my best efforts to probe it, I couldn’t budge the barrier.”

”With no other choice, I ventured elsewhere. But the immortal mansion was riddled with restrictions. I don’t know which one I triggered, but I was teleported near a purple pool.”

”At the pool’s edge stood a purple Dragon Head Stone. From its mouth, droplets of purple spirit liquid occasionally dripped—the Purple Mansion Spirit Liquid!”

”I was ecstatic and scooped up large quantities of the spirit liquid from the pool. But soon, my gaze fell upon the Dragon Head Stone itself. Since the Purple Mansion Spirit Liquid dripped from its mouth, I thought, ’If I could take this stone, wouldn’t I have an endless supply of the liquid?’”

Hearing this, a senior cultivator with profound cultivation roared in anguish, ”Foolish! The Dragon Head Stone must be deeply connected to the immortal mansion! Touching it carelessly will surely trigger some restrictions!”

And indeed, that was the case. The lucky pseudo core formation stage cultivator had barely laid his hand on the purple Dragon Head Stone when he triggered another layer of restrictions.

He was instantly teleported to another part of the immortal mansion. After repeatedly triggering restrictions by accident, he was inexplicably expelled from the immortal mansion.

In the end, his only gain from exploring the Immortal Mansion Ruins was the Purple Mansion Spirit Liquid he had managed to obtain.

This account proved to be true. When investigating these claims, the Ghost Sword Sect dispatched a supreme elder with exceptional divine soul cultivation to monitor the man’s soul fluctuations, confirming that he was neither lying nor withholding information.

Once his story was verified, more and more cultivators became greedy. They frenziedly scoured the Great Wilderness Domain for traces of Immortal Mansion Ruins.

From his firsthand account, all cultivators concluded that the Immortal Mansion Ruins were not dangerous at all!

Having triggered so many restrictions without incident proved the immortal mansion was safe. As long as they could enter, their lives and fortunes would be secure.

And once inside, they might stumble upon some peerless opportunities.

On Moonlit Ridge, the Divine Transformation stage great powers, who had been lying dormant for so long, finally stirred.

”Hmm, a mysterious immortal mansion? I’ve never heard of such a place.”

”Should we go check it out? They say it’s an Immortal Mansion Ruins that existed even before the ancient era.”

After these words, the long silence on Moonlit Ridge was broken by a voice that drifted out leisurely:

”Heh heh, I smell a conspiracy. Could someone be playing tricks?”

Another sigh echoed: ”Just at this critical moment. If we wait a few more years, the spatial node for ascension will weaken to its absolute limit, allowing us to ascend together using Wan Shengtian’s ascension platform.”

”At such a crucial juncture, it’s best not to get involved in unnecessary meddling.”

”Heh heh, as long as they don’t provoke us, let them do as they please. With the Great Dao of this realm flourishing, it’s natural for some restless beings to emerge.”

”The one in the Ice Palace remains inactive. It seems this immortal mansion isn’t worth taking seriously.”

With that, the mysterious mountain ridge, bathed in moonlight, fell silent once more.
