Practice begins with immortality

"Brother Wang Mu, once you get out of this desert you will reach the Xuanhun tribe. To be honest, our tribe is one of the most powerful forces in the entire earth." Sun Gu introduced to Wang Bai enthusiastically.

Along the way, Sun Gu and Wang Bai got along very well, and Sun Gu continued to introduce him to the Xuanhun Department and other forces. Through these conversations, Wang Bai's understanding of this world became more and more in-depth.

It turns out that everyone in this world calls the place they live "the Earth." Within this Earth, the most influential forces are seventy-two minor tribes, thirty-six major tribes, and five great royal cities.

The seventy-two minor clans each had multiple generals or a top general in charge. The thirty-six major clans each had a king-level warrior in charge. The five great royal cities each had a top king-level warrior or multiple king-level warriors in charge.

As one of the seventy-two minor tribes, the Xuanhun tribe's strength should not be underestimated, ranking among the top tier. This tribe boasts two top-tier warriors: the current tribe leader, Hun Qiankun, and his cousin, Hun Qianyuan.

Hun Qiankun had a son and a daughter. His daughter, Hun Mengli, married a warrior from the Black Water Tribe. The Black Water Tribe also belonged to the Seventy-Two Minor Tribes, but was slightly weaker, ranking only in the second tier.

However, due to the unfortunate death of Hun Qiankun's son Hun Yuanjue while attempting to reach the King Realm, Hun Qianyuan demanded that Hun Qiankun abdicate, claiming he had no heir. Consequently, Hun Qianyuan dispatched his trusted confidant Sun Gu and a group of other experts to escort Hun Mengli and her family back to the Xuanhun Tribe, intending to establish Hun Mengli as the new heir.

Unexpectedly, the group was ambushed by the Weeping Blood Society on the way. The Weeping Blood Society is a well-known assassin organization on earth with many members, and it is said that there are king-level masters.

Faced with the sudden crisis, the couple entrusted their son to Sun Gu, and they stayed behind to delay the enemy, hoping to protect the child's safety. But even so, Sun Gu was caught up, but fortunately he met Wang Bo.

Elsewhere, in an underground stone chamber within the Xuanhun Tribe, the atmosphere was tense. The two masked men who had escaped earlier were now kneeling on one knee before an elderly man, their heads bowed, not daring to meet his gaze. One of them spoke in a low voice, "Sir, I am incompetent and failed to eliminate Hun Qiankun's grandson."

This old man was Hun Qianyuan. He sat on a stone chair, his face expressionless, his eyes slightly narrowed, making it impossible to read his thoughts. After hearing his subordinate's report, he simply said, "The reason."

The two masked men looked at each other, and one of them answered with a stiff upper lip: "A strange man intervened and ruined our good plan." After that, both of them lowered their heads, waiting for Hun Qianyuan's punishment.

However, Hun Qianyuan did not immediately react. He remained silent for a moment, then waved his hand to signal the two to leave. After they left, he fell into deep thought.

"Stranger..." Hun Qianyuan murmured the word in a low voice, and then fell into deep thought.

"Dad, he's just an alien. He's not a threat to us," a young man couldn't help but say. This young man was Hun Qianyuan's son, Hun Yuanhui, a junior general.

"It's not as simple as you think. If that stranger was recruited by Hun Qiankun, then it's okay. At worst, we can use a more generous reward to recruit him. But if that person was involved for no reason, then it's bad. This person may have already held a grudge against us." Hun Qianyuan said gloomily.

On the other side, Wang Bai and others had already arrived at the Xuanhun Department. After settling Wang Bai down, Sun Gu immediately reported to Hun Qiankun.

"Li'er..." Hun Qiankun muttered, slumped in his chair. His face was filled with despair and pain, tears streaming down his face. He now had neither his son nor his daughter, and his heart was filled with endless sorrow.

"Master, this must be the work of Hun Qianyuan!" Sun Gu said angrily, his eyes gleaming with anger. He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, wishing he could settle the score with Hun Qianyuan immediately.

"Hun Qianyuan, Hun Qianyuan, since you don't even care about this little bit of kindness, then don't blame me for not caring about family affection!" Hun Qiankun stood up suddenly, with a resolute light flashing in his eyes.

After a while, Wang Bai came to Hun Qiankun's mansion.

"This must be Brother Wang Mu, right? I am Qiankun, the leader of the Xuanhun tribe. Brother Wang saved my grandson, which is such a great favor. I wonder what Brother Wang would like? As long as I can give it to you, Brother Wang, please feel free to ask."

Wang Bai quickly clasped his fists and responded, "I don't deserve it. I just happened to be passing by. I am just a wanderer in the mountains. How could I want any treasure?"

After hearing this, Hun Qiankun thought for a moment and said, "Since Brother Wang doesn't want the treasure, I will give him something else. Brother Wang, you don't have a place to stay? Then you can stay with my Xuanhun tribe for the time being. There are many rare items in our clan's treasury. We are so ignorant that we only know they are treasures, but we don't know what they are for. Brother Wang, please go in and choose any three of them."

After that, Hun Qiankun led Wang Bai to a building. This was the treasure house of their Xuanhun Department. Pushing open the door, a stale atmosphere hit him. Wang Bai looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but feel a little emotional. These rare treasures were all witnesses of the years.

Under the guidance of Hun Qiankun, Wang Bai walked into the treasure house. Every treasure here exuded the aura of the Foundation Establishment Stage. Wang Bai's eyes slowly swept over these precious treasures, and a surge of excitement surged in his heart.

Suddenly, Wang Bai's gaze stopped on a piece of jade, and his eyes became surprised: "This... this is actually a mid-grade spirit stone!" His voice trembled a little, as if he couldn't believe his eyes.

You should know that spirit stones are also divided into grades: low-grade, medium-grade, high-grade, and ultimate. The spirit stones Wang Bai had previously used were all low-grade, which was sufficient for ordinary cultivators. However, the mid-grade spirit stones before him were an extremely precious resource, and only cultivators at the Jindan stage and above were qualified to access such treasures. Furthermore, the spiritual energy contained in a single mid-grade spirit stone was equivalent to that of a thousand low-grade spirit stones, and its purity far exceeded the latter. Therefore, no one would exchange a mid-grade spirit stone for a low-grade spirit stone.

Wang Bai took a deep breath, trying to calm his inner excitement, and then continued to wander around in the treasure house, hoping to find more useful things.

When he reached the deepest part of the treasure house, an object emitting a green halo caught his attention. Wang Bai took a closer look and found that it was actually a tree heart.

"Is this... the heart of a foundation-building tree demon?!"
