Practice begins with immortality

After returning to Shengxian Town, Wang Bai began to count the harvest.

"The storage bags of these four foundation-building cultivators are mostly filled with spirit stones and foundation-building techniques. They're of no use to me," Wang Bai said after inspecting their bags. However, the ghost fire used by Youhuo was useful to Wang Bai, both for fighting enemies and breaking restrictions. Wang Bai took the ghost fire and used his own mana to refine and cultivate it. Given Wang Bai's strength, this ghost fire was more than twice as powerful as before.

"Next up are these two storage bags," Wang Bai muttered to himself, his eyes gleaming with anticipation. He first picked up the demon's storage bag, breaking the restriction before opening it. However, at that moment, a dark shadow shot out of the bag like lightning, charging straight at Wang Bai!

A hideous, ferocious ghost lunged at Wang Bo, claws and fangs bared, emitting a piercing scream. Faced with this sudden attack, Wang Bo snorted coldly, a flicker of disdain in his eyes. He raised his hand and waved it, and an invisible force surged out, instantly enveloping the ghost. The ghost let out a shrill scream, its body quickly dissipating under the crushing force, completely destroyed in the blink of an eye.

After dispatching the ghost, Wang Bai began to examine the contents of his storage bag. After a thorough inventory, he discovered two hundred thousand low-grade snacks. Additionally, there were some elixirs and spiritual materials specifically for ghost cultivators, as well as a beasthide scroll. These items were of little use to him. Finally, Wang Bai noticed an ancient tome with four large characters inscribed on it: Netherworld Ghost Secrets.

Wang Bai quickly flipped open the ancient book and began to peruse it carefully. As he read deeper, his brow furrowed. It turned out that this Netherworld Ghost Art was a method of ghost cultivation, emphasizing the abandonment of the physical body and the transformation of oneself into a ghost. This method of cultivation was completely unsuitable for Wang Bai. He had always focused on cultivating his physical body, and his physical cultivation was already quite powerful, so it was naturally impossible for him to abandon his physical body.

However, when he saw a technique called "Soul Tempering Technique" in the book, his eyes suddenly lit up. This Soul Tempering Technique could help cultivators cultivate their spirits, enhancing their strength and resilience. For Wang Bai, although he had no intention of practicing ghost cultivation, this Soul Tempering Technique could improve his spirit.

Later he examined the animal skin scroll and found that it was a map with a place marked on it.

"It looks like a treasure map, perhaps related to the magic weapon. The demon spirit didn't activate the magic weapon as easily as a cultivator would control a magical weapon. It seems he hasn't refined the magic weapon at all, and must have obtained it from somewhere else. Perhaps it's related to this map. I'll explore it again when I reach a higher level of cultivation. Perhaps I'll find some rewards."

Then he opened the second storage bag, which did not contain any tricks.

"Some spirit stones, elixirs used by Jindan cultivators, and a low-grade magical sword. This technique, the Jindan technique, the Purple Jade Condensation Technique!" Wang Bai said happily. This was the storage bag of the Jindan of the Purple Jade Sect who died during the turmoil. This technique was the Purple Jade Sect's inherited technique.

"The True Art of Purple Jade Condensation is a technique for the Golden Core Stage. Moreover, this technique can continuously refine the magic power to grind the bottleneck. If the time is long enough, even the bottleneck of the Nascent Soul Stage can be broken directly!" Wang Bai said after reading the technique. This technique is just right for him.

"This technique is stronger than the Netherworld Ghost Technique. It seems that the ancestor of the Purple Jade Sect also came from the Northern Yan immortal cultivation world. After I break through the Golden Core and the Dharma Body realm to the middle Golden Core stage, I will go to Northern Yan." Wang Bai thought to himself.

Thinking of this, Wang Bai decided to practice the Purple Jade Condensation Technique first, and after breaking through the Golden Elixir and improving his cultivation to the limit, he would go to the Northern Yan Immortal Cultivation World.

three days later.

"I've finally completed my foundation building breakthrough. Next, I need to find a good place to achieve a golden elixir breakthrough." Wang Bai pondered. The golden elixir breakthrough was different from the physical refining golden elixir breakthrough, and it would bring about a heavenly tribulation. He needed to find a better place to overcome the tribulation.

"Luoxia Mountains is not an option. If I break through here, I will easily be discovered by the Jindan cultivators of Ziyu Sect. The Wilderness Realm is not an option either. The noise of the breakthrough will definitely attract the top king-level powerhouses, and the top king-level powerhouses are definitely not something I can approach now." Wang Bai thought to himself.

"Perhaps, I can go back to the Land of Jueling Spirits to break through." Then, Wang Bai made up his mind and prepared to go back to the Land of Jueling Spirits to break through to the Golden Core stage.
