Practice begins with immortality

After communicating with Lei Ling and three others, Wang Bai had a preliminary understanding of the current situation in the Savage Mountains.

The Savage Mountains are vast and boundless. The territories carved out by the three great royal cities and numerous prominent families occupy only a small fraction. In fact, beyond the Savage Forest, other areas—the depths of the Savage Mountains, the vast snowfields to the north, and the mysterious Misty Sea—are only the tip of the iceberg compared to the vast expanse. The Misty Sea, in particular, while nominally under the jurisdiction of the Tianhai Royal City, in reality, the territory the Tianhai Royal City controls is limited to the coastal area. Once, a supreme king of the Tianhai Royal City attempted to explore the depths of the sea, but his fate was uncertain. Since then, no one has dared to set foot in the mysterious and dangerous deep sea.

"When Brother Wang breaks through to the middle level of the King Rank like us, how about we go to the Savage Mountains together to hunt King Beasts next time the King City calls us?"

"Then I will accept it."

After leaving the inheritance stone forest, Wang Bai returned to his residence in the royal city and began to refine the blood essence of the iron-blooded beast.

"Huh, if I have another dose of essence and blood, I can break through directly." Wang Bai said after slowly exhaling.

"With 75% of my true meaning realm under my control, plus my natural supernatural powers, I can fight against any cultivator in the late Jindan stage, unless I encounter some cultivator with special means." Wang Bai speculated in his heart.

"Let's go back to Luoxia Mountains first, take care of things, and see if I can get a copy of the Golden Elixir technique. After all, my cultivation is almost complete, and it's time to prepare for a Golden Elixir breakthrough." Then, Wang Bai took out a pair of tools to open the space channel and returned to the training room in Shengxian Town.

Five days later.

"Fellow Daoist, is there really no golden elixir technique here?" Wang Bai asked a masked man in a private room of a teahouse.

"Fellow Daoist, in the entire Luoxia Mountain Range, apart from the Purple Jade Sect, the other factions only possess fragments of the Golden Core technique," the masked man said with a wry smile. Afterwards, the two chatted for a while before parting ways.

"In the past five days, many of my black markets and monks' gatherings have only fragments of martial arts techniques at most." Wang Bai thought to himself.

"If you still want to obtain the Golden Core Technique, you can either start directly from the Purple Jade Sect, or leave the Luoxia Mountains and go to a more prosperous place."

The Luoxia Mountains, near the Absolute Spirit Land, were originally a small region of Nanyan Continent. If he traveled north to a more abundant spiritual energy region, obtaining the Golden Core technique would be a piece of cake. However, in such a place, Golden Core True Immortals weren't common, but they weren't considered powerful either. Only Yuanying True Lords could hold their own there. If he encountered a Yuanying cultivator, he wouldn't be able to fight back. He absolutely wouldn't go there until he had advanced his Dharma Body realm to the Golden Core realm.

Attacking the Purple Jade Sect would also be extremely difficult. Wang Bai couldn't just break into the Purple Jade Sect and steal the Golden Core technique. Not to mention that the Purple Jade Sect still had a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator, relying on the mountain protection formation was enough to resist Wang Bai. Not to mention whether the Purple Jade Sect had any other trump cards, after all, they were a force that had produced a Golden Core Perfection cultivator.

So, how about sneaking into the Purple Jade Sect? No, Wang Bai exudes a wild aura. Even if he uses his full strength to practice the Breath Condensation Technique, the Golden Core True Person will be able to sense him, and there is no way he can sneak in.

"It seems that I can only wait. Wait until the Ziyu Sect declines or look for it in the Wilderness. After all, the Wilderness also gave birth to Jindan cultivators." Wang Bai thought in his heart, and then turned into a beam of light and flew to Shengxian Town.

"Hmm?" Wang Bai returned to the Shengxian Town garrison and saw an old man and a young boy waiting for him. He couldn't help but feel a little confused.

Wang Bai walked up to them and asked, "Who are you? What do you want from me?"

The old man smiled and replied, "Fellow Daoist Huang Li, I am Xuan Lingzi, and this is my disciple Xiao Miao." He then explained, "We have come to seek you out because we have heard that your spiritual awareness is powerful, far surpassing that of ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators. I need to explore a Golden Core Cave, but it is difficult for me to do so alone, so I hope to receive your assistance. If you are willing to help, please meet us here again in two days."

After saying this, the old man handed a jade tube to Wang Bai. He then turned and left with the young man named Xiao Miao without stopping.

"Jindan Cave? Maybe I can find the Jindan skills that I need in here." After that, Wang Bai thought for a while and then decided to go there.
