Chapter 50 Immortal Cultivator

The sun was setting in the west, and the sky was gradually darkening.

A man and his horse were weaving through the forest when suddenly the warhorse beneath him let out a neigh, its hooves buckled, and it fell to the ground!
The immense inertia threw the person off the horse.

Shen Wenxing reacted quickly, performing a somersault in mid-air before landing steadily and running to his warhorse to help it up.

But the warhorse was breathing weakly at this point, clearly exhausted.

Helpless, Shen Wenxing could only untie the reins from the horse, pat its head and whisper, "Since you can't run anymore, I'll set you free. Whether you survive or not depends on your fate."

After saying that, he determined the direction and ran on foot towards Wuya Mountain.

The bright moon gradually rose, and in the blink of an eye, it was midnight.

After running for more than two hours, Shen Wenxing finally felt exhausted and leaned against a boulder to rest.

He took a flatbread from the cloth bag at his waist, and just as he broke off a piece and put it in his mouth, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.

The chirping of insects, which had been rising and falling, seemed to have suddenly disappeared!
The surrounding silence was eerily quiet!
Noticing this, Shen Wenxing stuffed the pancake in his hand into the cloth bag, slowly took out two short iron sticks from behind him, held them in his hand, and looked around warily.

The night was pitch black, and the moonlight was blocked by the dense foliage. Occasionally, a sliver of light would shine through the gaps in the leaves, creating a strange and eerie scene as the leaves swayed.

Although he saw nothing and heard nothing, Shen Wenxing's expression grew increasingly serious and tense.

He could feel something approaching, and the instinctive sense of oppression made his palms sweat involuntarily!

Pfft!
Pfft!
The sound of his rapidly beating heart was clearly audible. Shen Wenxing slowed his steps back, pressing his body tightly against the boulder behind him, trying to find a sense of security!

But just then, a gentle breeze arose!

A strong, fishy stench wafted over from the wind!

Shen Wenxing was terrified and quickly raised the long iron rod in his hand in front of him!
Clang!
In the darkness, a brown figure pounced at lightning speed, its massive claws slamming down on the iron staff!

The terrifying force caused Shen Wenxing to involuntarily lower his body, his legs sinking an inch!

In a flash, ignoring his numb arm, he rolled over and awkwardly hid on the other side of the boulder.

When I caught a glimpse of the monster's figure out of the corner of my eye, I was immediately horrified!
That's a wolf!

But its size is several times larger than that of an ordinary wolf, and it is about the same size as a small ox!

Its fur was shiny, and its back even had a layer of scales that shimmered with a metallic luster, like fish scales!
On its enormous head, fierce eyes emitted a faint, eerie light, and its fangs gleamed with a chilling sharpness!
How could there be such a big wolf?!
What kind of monster is this?!
Feeling the oppressive aura emanating from the giant wolf, Shen Wenxing's mind went blank, and he was almost unable to think.

The giant wolf's attack was blocked, and a hint of human mockery appeared in its eyes, which emitted a faint, eerie light. It crouched down, bared its teeth, and slowly walked over.

Shen Wenxing gripped the long stick in his hand tightly, preparing to fight this beast to the death!
Just as a great battle was about to break out, the giant wolf that was slowly approaching suddenly stopped, raised its huge head, and looked warily at Shen Wenxing's left rear.

"Woo——"

The giant wolf let out a defiant growl, then turned and fled into the dark jungle!

"What a cunning beast."

Just as Shen Wenxing was wondering, a calm voice suddenly came from above the boulder behind him.

He quickly turned around and found that a man and a woman had appeared on top of the three-zhang-high boulder behind him.

The man was dressed in a blue robe, wearing a bamboo hat, and carrying a long sword in his hand.

The woman, dressed in a red outfit with short hair that reached her ears, held a long whip in her hand and was curiously sizing him up.

Just as Shen Wenxing was about to cup his hands and speak, the two of them gracefully fell from the boulder like falling leaves and appeared in front of him.

"Spiritual energy enters the body, the aura becomes profound..."

The girl in the tight-fitting outfit parted her pearly teeth slightly, her tone carrying a hint of surprise, and then she flashed forward!

Shen Wenxing instinctively wanted to dodge and counterattack, but the opponent was too fast. As he dodged the long stick like a ghost, his hand instantly grabbed his wrist!
The girl appeared frail, but the strength in her hands was surprisingly great, like an iron clamp, making it difficult for anyone to break free.

"Pity……"

"His spiritual roots are mixed up; I thought I'd found a promising talent." After saying this, she let go of his hand with some disappointment.

"Hehe..." The man in the blue robe and bamboo hat chuckled upon hearing this: "Yangnao Land is inherently lacking in spiritual energy, comparable to a punishment land. Otherwise, why would those top-grade immortal sects let it go unchecked?"

"It's also because my Qiyun Valley has declined in recent years and can't compete with those immortal sects, so my master actually thought of coming here to find disciples."

The man's words were full of disparagement towards the land.

The girl said dismissively, "Nothing is absolute. Senior Brother Heshan, don't forget that sword immortal from the Qingluo Sword Pavilion."

"Since a demonic beast like the Iron-Spine Wolf can appear here, there must also be people with spiritual roots. Let's search further."

The man in the straw hat did not argue. He glanced at Shen Wenxing and then said to the girl, "Let's go."

"Wait a moment, gentlemen!"

Since the two appeared, Shen Wenxing hadn't had a chance to speak, but he vaguely gleaned some information from their conversation.

These two people came from a place called Qiyun Valley, and their words made it seem like they belonged to a sect or force that could "cultivate immortality"!

Combining the two's methods, they were able to intimidate the terrifying giant wolf without even lifting a finger. The mention of "spiritual root" and "spiritual energy" reminded Shen Wenxing of the immortals that Xu Xiu had spoken of back then!

The two people in front of him turned around curiously when they heard his voice.

Shen Wenxing quickly and respectfully asked, "May I ask if you two are immortals?"

"Fairy?"

The girl and the man in the straw hat exchanged a glance and both smiled.

"We can hardly be considered immortals; we are merely cultivators who have just reached the peak of Qi Refining and haven't even reached the stage of embryonic breathing."

Practice Qi cultivation and embryonic breathing!
Shen Wenxing was somewhat confused about how these two realms would compare to the innate level of a martial artist.

But intuitively, he could sense that these two people were even stronger than Xu Xiu when he first met them!
The girl seemed to have just examined his body, saying something about his "mixed spiritual roots," which meant that he didn't seem to have the aptitude for "cultivating immortality."

Shen Wenxing was somewhat disappointed. He had always felt that he had great talent and had already reached the peak of acquired talent at the age of fourteen.

Unexpectedly, it still failed to catch the eye of the "immortal".

But now that he has been fortunate enough to encounter a "celestial being," he is naturally unwilling to give up!
Even if I can't do it myself, I have to find a way to give my younger siblings a chance.

What if they have the opportunity to become disciples of an "immortal"?
"Do you have anything else?"

"If there's nothing else, leave this place as soon as possible. With your Body Tempering Realm strength, even if it's not a demonic beast, some powerful ordinary wild beasts could still take your life."

After the man in the straw hat finished speaking, he turned to leave.

"Are you two immortals planning to find disciples with the aptitude for cultivation in the Kingdom of Yu?"

Seeing that the other party was about to leave, Shen Wenxing forced himself to speak again: "I have a plan that might be able to help the immortal!"

"Oh?" Upon hearing this, the man in the straw hat turned around and said, "Tell me about it."

Seeing that the other party was interested, Shen Wenxing quickly said, "The place where I live is called Yu Kingdom. If the two immortals want to recruit disciples, they can contact the royal family and use the royal family's name to announce it to the world."

"At that time, you can make any requests regarding the type of disciple you want."

After Shen Wenxing finished speaking, he was filled with trepidation.

He didn't know if this was feasible, but if the two of them were allowed to search aimlessly on their own, his younger siblings would probably have little chance.

Only in this way might there be a sliver of a possibility.

Dear leaders, here's a routine report.

So far, this book has performed quite well, but the editor said it would be difficult to get it published in the Sanjiang Literature City, and they would need the help of their godfathers.

I'm still a bit behind in terms of reading progress. To all the readers who are patiently reading, please take the time to read a little longer. Also, to those of you with monthly tickets, please support me; monthly tickets help this book climb the charts. Thank you so much!
And also, could you please click on the little hearts for the characters?
