Immortal Refiner

Three days later, this news spread like wildfire through the cultivation worlds of other great domains. Many rogue cultivators who had been hesitant now rushed to the scene.

Since the Immortal Mansion Ruins had stopped moving, it meant they now had a chance to enter. Hesitating further would mean missing a golden opportunity.

Not only rogue cultivators, but even some within the Lingyun Sect were tempted.

Some Foundation Establishment elders decided to investigate, hoping to chance upon an opportunity—even obtaining a drop of Purple Mansion Spirit Liquid would be an immense fortune.

The Qi Refining disciples, however, were self-aware enough to know that such a monumental opportunity was beyond their reach. Even if they went, they would only serve as cannon fodder, and by this point, it was already too late to set out.

Just then, Jiang Han, who had recently married, came to pay his respects to Li Qing.

”Ancestor Limitless, I wish to venture to the Immortal Mansion Ruins to investigate!” Jiang Han, clad in snow-white robes, bowed respectfully before Li Qing’s cave abode.

After a moment, a single word echoed from within the cave:

”Approved.”

Jiang Han’s face lit up. He bowed deeply again toward the cave abode before turning to leave.

In the following days, two more Supreme Elders—Wu Chong and True Lord Fu Xuan—informed Li Qing of their decision to seek opportunities within the Immortal Mansion Ruins. Both had lingered in the Core Formation realm for far too long. Despite possessing Dragon Transformation Pills, they remained uncertain of breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage in one attempt and hoped to find a catalyst for their breakthrough.

Li Qing had no reason to stop them. It was their own decision, and he couldn’t interfere.

In an instant, three supreme elders of the Lingyun Sect rushed towards the Great Wilderness Domain, their hearts stirred by the Immortal Mansion Ruins.

Since ancient times, people have died for wealth, and birds have died for food. Could cultivators be any different?

However, it wasn’t long before a figure in a purple robe appeared before Li Qing’s cave abode.

”Master! This disciple comes to pay her respects!”

The only one in the sect who could address Li Qing as ”Master” was naturally Li Yuhuan. She respectfully clasped her hands before his cave abode and requested an audience.

Soon, the restriction before Li Qing’s cave abode automatically lifted.

Li Yuhuan’s face lit up with joy as she flew into his cave abode.

Her demeanor had matured significantly, long gone was the naivety she had when she first joined the sect. Yet before Li Qing, she still behaved with the same charming and obedient grace.

Looking at his registered disciple and niece, Li Qing sighed helplessly. ”You’re not planning to try your luck at the Immortal Mansion Ruins too, are you?”

”I trust those few, but you’ve only recently reached the core formation realm and don’t even have a natal magic treasure. Going there would be no different from walking to your death.”

”Going there on your own will only add to their burden.”

Li Yuhuan forced a dry laugh. ”I was just worried they might run into trouble and wanted to wait outside the Immortal Mansion Ruins to meet them. I had no intention of going inside to explore.”

”I doubt anything serious would happen outside the ruins.”

As she spoke, Li Yuhuan gazed at Li Qing with hopeful eyes.

Finally, Li Qing sighed. ”Very well. Knowing you’re worried about your ideal husband, I’ll let you go and wait outside the Immortal Mansion Ruins.”

”Take this jade talisman. If anything goes wrong, ignite it with your spiritual energy.”

”And remember what you said—under no circumstances are you to enter the Immortal Mansion Ruins. No matter what happens, stay outside. Otherwise, I can’t guarantee this talisman will be of any use.”

Li Yuhuan accepted the peculiar-looking jade talisman and thanked him with a beaming smile. ”Thank you, Master!”

With that, she darted out of Li Qing’s cave abode like a shot.

Li Qing merely shook his head helplessly before sinking back into his cultivation, focusing on breaking through his bottleneck.

By now, countless cultivators had already entered the Immortal Mansion Ruins in the Great Wilderness Domain.

Despite its seemingly modest scale from the outside, the ruins defied expectations, functioning like a grotto-heaven capable of accommodating such a vast number of cultivators.

In reality, the interior of the Immortal Mansion Ruins was far more expansive than its exterior suggested. Though it appeared as a mere courtyard from the outside, it truly contained a world within.

After some time, the three supreme elders of the Lingyun Sect finally arrived in the southern region of Giant Deer Prefecture.

The entrance to the Immortal Mansion Ruins had widened considerably by now, allowing even those flying at high altitudes to clearly see the scene beneath the Earth Vein.

The architecture within the vast immortal mansion was magnificent. Though its full splendor couldn’t be fully glimpsed from the outside, one could still sense the mansion’s extraordinary nature.

As the Earth Vein’s energy surged, the immortal mansion continuously exhaled and inhaled massive quantities of spiritual energy. Even cultivating nearby would prove highly beneficial.

”Senior brothers, let’s enter together. That way, we can look out for each other,” said Jiang Han, dressed in white, with a solemn tone.

True Lord Fu Xuan and Wu Chong nodded in agreement.

”As Junior Brother Jiang said, let’s enter together. But which gate should we choose?” Wu Chong rubbed his hands together, narrowing his eyes.

They had arrived somewhat hastily and hadn’t had time to gather much information.

”The immortal mansion has only been here for half a month. I doubt any detailed intelligence has been disseminated.”

”My suggestion is to circle the perimeter first and see if we can discover anything,” True Lord Fu Xuan, a veteran of many years, proposed.

He had once roamed the Great Wilderness Domain before following Li Qing north to the Azure Ridge Domain and rebuilding the Lingyun Sect. Now, he was a highly respected supreme elder within the sect, and the entire talisman hall followed his lead.

”Then let’s go down and take a look.”

With that, the three figures swept toward the outer perimeter of the underground Immortal Mansion Ruins, beginning to observe the scenes within each gate.

Unfortunately, the Immortal Mansion Ruins proved difficult to penetrate. No matter how they probed with their divine sense, they couldn’t discern the interior, only catching fleeting glimpses of the scenery.

As they arrived at the rear of the Immortal Mansion Ruins, chanting voices suddenly rang out, their tones ethereal and somewhat eerie.

The three exchanged glances and silently memorized a passage of scripture.

”This is an unusual scripture, a cultivation manual leaning towards the pure origin type,” True Lord Fu Xuan said with a frown. ”Its incantations are also obscure and difficult to decipher.”

Pure origin cultivation manuals are neutral and balanced, lacking any affinity with the Five Elements. Any cultivator, regardless of their Spiritual Root type, can practice them.

These manuals are common in the cultivation world. Their advantage is slightly faster cultivation speed compared to Five Elements Cultivation Techniques, but their combat power is extremely ordinary, and the mana they cultivate struggles to contend with that from Five Elements techniques.

Generally, few cultivators choose such manuals. Instead, they typically select one of the Five Elements affinities from their own Spiritual Root and cultivate accordingly.

”If there’s a Hall of Technique Transmission, we might find something unexpected. Let’s choose this one to investigate.”
