Traveling through time to cultivate immortality: a life and death test

Liu Xing spent another ten days refining a furnace of Haoyue Pills, Wulong Pills, and Yunling Pills. After refining the pills, he immediately went to Su Yingying's cave and gave her the Wulong Pills and Yunling Pills, as well as 50,000 sect points, so that she wouldn't have to worry about money. A stable training environment and abundant resources are the most precious things for a cultivator. Su Yingying screamed with joy. She threw Liu Xing onto the bed, and another earth-shaking hand-to-hand combat ensued. Afterward, Liu Xing instructed Su Yingying to practice in seclusion and strive for the late stage of foundation building. Su Yingying nodded obediently, promising to live up to Liu Xing's expectations.

Liu Xing returned to his cave and began cultivating with the Haoyue Pills. A bottle of Haoyue Pills only contained six pills, and after six months, he completed his cultivation and emerged from seclusion. He observed his inner self and saw that his mana had indeed increased, proving that the Haoyue Pills were indeed effective. However, the quantity was far from sufficient. Without more than a dozen bottles, he couldn't reach the peak of the late Foundation Establishment stage. He sighed helplessly. The revolution hasn't yet succeeded, comrades, so keep working hard.

"Disciple, the master has returned. Please come to my place." Su Xingchen came back and sent a message to Liu Xing.

"Disciple pays respects to Master." Liu Xing came to Su Xingchen's cave and knelt down to pay his respects.

"Well, not bad. The Art of Attracting Evils has been perfected, and your body is comparable to the best magic weapon. Your magic power has also increased a bit. It seems that you haven't been lazy in your practice recently." Su Xingchen looked at Liu Xing and nodded with satisfaction.

"There is a magic weapon in the dantian, what's going on?" Suddenly, he saw the hookless magic weapon in Liu Xing's dantian, and asked with a raised eyebrow.

Liu Xing then unpacked the details of his feud with Ge Teng and Liao Hua, and the Liao family patriarch's attempt to lure him to his death. Su Xingchen was horrified by what he heard. His own disciple was surprisingly powerful. Although he'd used a sneak attack, he'd undoubtedly killed a mid-stage Jindan cultivator with his own hands. He couldn't help but scrutinize Liu Xing several times. This astonishing feat wasn't unprecedented, but at least it was unheard of in his nearly thousand years of life.

"With the Liao family's ancestor dead, the Liao family is doomed to collapse. Will you, Master, help resolve this issue?" Su Xingchen pondered for a moment, a faint aura of murder emanating from him. He dared to attack his own disciple, evidently tired of living. Liu Xing was shocked. Master was angry. But he was also touched. Master was willing to stand up for him.

"Master, I want to solve it myself, so you don't have to do anything." Liu Xing replied calmly. He did his own things by himself, and he didn't care about the little grudge.

"How are you going to deal with it? I just need to search your soul myself to know whether Ge Teng is involved." Su Xingchen said coldly. What was extremely difficult for Liu Xing was very easy to handle for someone at his level.

"If Ge Teng participated in the Liao family's ambush plan, then the two of us will be in a fight to the death. He will definitely have continuous means of attack in the future. If he makes a move again, I will catch him and it will not be too late to settle the score then. If Ge Teng did not participate in the ambush and the Liao family just acted privately, then the conflict between the two of us would not have been provoked to the point of life and death, and we will go our separate ways in the future. After all, it involves Elder Ge, who is an important force in the Qianji Sect. He cannot be dealt with casually, otherwise it will chill people's hearts." Liu Xing expressed his concerns and plans.

"I am very pleased that you can consider the overall situation. Okay, let's do as you say. I think Elder Ge, as the ancestor of the Nascent Soul stage, will not lower his status to personally attack you, a junior of the Foundation Establishment stage. Besides, he is currently in seclusion and will not come out for nearly a hundred years." Su Xingchen said, stroking his beard.

"Master, I've hit a bottleneck in the art of restriction. I want to go to other mountains to read books and learn. Is that okay?" Liu Xing asked his master.

"Of course you can. The elder token I gave you grants unimpeded access to the sect, allowing you to go anywhere except a few restricted areas. However, remember not to bite off more than you can chew; improving your cultivation is your priority." Su Xingchen admired his disciple's eagerness to learn, but he still reminded him of the key points. He also knew that Liu Xing's spiritual roots were extremely poor, requiring a large amount of elixirs for cultivation. He also had a large supply of elixirs to help his disciple. However, he couldn't just give him elixirs to aid his cultivation; he had to let him seek opportunities on his own. This was a crucial training process for him, and no shortcuts were allowed.

"Thank you for your teachings, Master. I will keep them in mind." Liu Xing replied respectfully.

"then you go."

"My disciple is leaving."

After meeting his master, Liu Xing returned to his cave and began to consider his next steps. He could see that his master was interested in training him, so he offered no elixirs or magical instruments, implying that he would have to rely on his own abilities to achieve everything. However, a copy of "The Art of Inducing Evil" solved his biggest problem, and an elder's order allowed him to move freely within the sect. These were his greatest help. Liu Xing was a grateful person, and he was deeply grateful to his master.

"Brother Yue, I'm planning to visit the Puppet Department. Can you take me for a walk?" Liu Xing decided to study the art of puppetry first.

"Brother, you are out of seclusion. Okay, you are welcome anytime." Yue Qianjun was not in seclusion at the time, so he responded immediately.

"I'll be right over. Let's meet at the gate of Puppet Peak."

"Ok."

Liu Xing took Jiao Jiao and flew to Puppet Peak. Yue Qianjun and Wen Wan'er were already waiting at the mountain gate. Liu Xing watched Wen Wan'er holding Yue Qianjun's arm, their affectionate gestures evident. He felt certain that the couple had finally gotten married, and he was happy for the two lovers. While Puppet Peak wasn't as majestic as Forbidden Peak, it still soared high into the clouds. Liu Xing followed the two into the Puppetry Division, where Yue Qianjun showed him around, revealing every area. Liu Xing made a point of memorizing the locations of the academy and the Sutra Library.

Liu Xing then transformed himself into a bookworm, diligently studying. With the Elder's Token and over 200,000 points, he was virtually entitled to read any book he could understand. He would join his fellow students in the Puppetry Department for monthly classes, and between classes, he would read in the Sutra Library, day after day, year after year. After three years, he had finally made significant progress in theory and began experimenting with refining a Foundation Establishment puppet.

He first went to the Sakura Garden Market and purchased a large quantity of the basic materials needed to refine a foundation-building puppet. Because he needed to practice, he bought nearly ten batches of raw materials, spending tens of thousands of points. Liu Xing already had many level 2, 3, and 4 monster spirits, as well as Xi Mo, so otherwise, he would have spent at least another 20,000 or 30,000. The owner of the materials department was beaming with joy. It was the first time in all his years that he had encountered such a wealthy customer.

Liu Xing rented a temporary cave in the puppet department and devoted himself to puppet-making. After wasting four or five batches of materials, he finally succeeded in refining his first puppet, a puppet at the initial stage of foundation building. It was a blue wolf, its running, attack, and defense rivaling those of a level two demon beast. Liu Xing was overjoyed at finally achieving his goal.
