Immortality and Cultivation: This old man seeks enlightenment through mere survival.

Jiang Feng's golden light vanished, and he immediately prostrated himself on the ground, expressing his gratitude:

"Thank you for your help, senior. Please accept my bow!"

No wonder his cultivation level disappeared into thin air.

No wonder my eyes have been feeling sore, itchy and painful lately.

It turns out that I had awakened a special Golden Eye of Truth physique...

But if it weren't for Lu Zaian's immense magical power helping him today...

It will likely take Jiang Feng several years to fully unlock the power of his Golden Eyes of Truth.

He might even regret it for the rest of his life...

Lu Zaian accepted Jiang Feng's bow with composure, nodded with a faint smile, and offered some advice.

"I see that you are kind-hearted and resolute, which is why I am willing to help you. I hope you will make good use of your talents and live well in the future."

"Yes!" Jiang Feng nodded emphatically.

Jiang Tianzhan and the Jiang family patriarch were equally grateful and bowed to Lu Zaian to express their thanks.

Lu Zaian's move can be seen as discovering a Foundation Establishment potential for the Jiang family.

Such a great kindness, how could I not express my gratitude!

"Now that this matter is settled, it is time for me to depart."

Lu Zaian turned away and prepared to leave.

The Jiang family's affairs were just a minor episode for him.

It was done on a whim.

Now that his injuries have healed, returning to Huangze City to continue his secluded cultivation and enhance his strength is the top priority.

"Please wait a moment, revision in progress!"

The Jiang family patriarch suddenly called out to Lu Zaian.

"Hmm—? Is there anything else?"

Lu Zaian frowned slightly, thinking that the Jiang family patriarch was being too greedy and wanted to curry favor with him.

Seeing Lu Zaian's confusion, the Jiang family patriarch quickly explained:

"It is like this, Feng'er is deeply grateful for the enlightenment bestowed upon us by the Supreme Lord, and our Jiang family is filled with trepidation and has no way to repay this kindness."

Aside from the Seven Treasure Tree, my Jiang family has nothing else of note.

Actually, this old man has a precious tree seed here that has never sprouted.

It was obtained from Feng'er's mother along with other items.

"Since the cultivator possesses great supernatural powers, he might be able to help it sprout. This would be a token of gratitude from my Jiang family."

As he spoke, the Jiang family patriarch took out a yellowish-brown seed from his storage bag.

"Oh, let me see."

Lu Zaian took it and examined it carefully.

This seed, about the size of a walnut, looks ordinary, yet it contains a hidden vitality.

However, for some reason, this vitality was firmly locked up and could not be broken through.

"Your seed is inherently flawed; it will probably need to be soaked in second or third-tier wood-attribute spiritual water before it can grow again..."

Over the years of refining elixirs, Lu Zaian has come to know countless spiritual objects.

He made his judgment after only a few glances.

"In that case, if you don't mind, I'll give it to you, Shangxiu."

The Jiang family patriarch said this.

This was exactly what he had guessed.

Where could a Qi Refining family like theirs find second or third-tier wood-attribute spiritual water?

It is already quite an achievement to be able to keep a single Seven Treasures Tree alive.

He might not even live to see the Seven Treasures Tree advance to the second tier before he closes his eyes again...

Therefore, it would be better to give the other seed to a friendly Foundation Establishment cultivator and gain their favor.

"You reap what you sow; what happened today is truly a wonderful story."

"In that case, I'll accept it..."

Lu Zai'an had no intention of taking advantage of the Seven Treasures Tree.

Unexpectedly, it was due to a momentary act of kindness.

After going around in circles, they actually obtained another seed of the precious tree.

Even if Lu Zaian doesn't need it, it would still be worth at least tens of thousands of spirit stones if auctioned off.

The reason why the Jiang family has kept it in their hands all this time is because...

Perhaps it's also because they're afraid of attracting unwanted attention...

However, as a Foundation Establishment cultivator, I still have the strength to protect this spiritual item.

"Senior, may I ask your name? Will I ever see you again?"

Seeing that Lu Zaian was about to leave, Jiang Feng spoke up.

Lu Zaian had given him a second chance at life, and he wanted to remember this kindness in his heart.

"Haha, you will all know my name in the future."

I have many enemies, so don't mention to others that you have any connection with me.

If fate allows, we will meet again…

Lu Zaian waved his hand, then summoned his escape light and vanished from everyone's sight in an instant.

Later, when the name of the scholar in blue robes spread throughout the northern airspace...

Only then did the Jiang family realize that the cultivator who had been secretly recuperating at the Jiang family home that day was actually Shang Xiu.

It turned out to be a ruthless individual who single-handedly fought three opponents and killed two Foundation Establishment cultivators of the same level...

As for Lu Zaian's efforts to rebuild Jiang Feng's life.

It's like a seed that's been casually sown.

What kind of flowers will bloom and what kind of fruits will they bear in the future?

That remains to be seen...

.........

Inside the Spring and Autumn Pavilion.

As the tightly closed doors of the training room slowly opened, the formation was also activated.

Lu Zaian, dressed in a light blue cloak, with silver hair and white eyebrows, walked out with his hands behind his back.

Before long, Xueyi received the message and rushed over immediately.

"Sect Master, you've finally emerged from seclusion?!" she exclaimed in delight.

"Indeed, I have cultivated in seclusion for many days and have made some progress. I will now come out of seclusion to relax."

"Any big news lately?"

Lu Zaian smiled mysteriously.

In reality, using his ability to conceal his aura, he had already secretly returned to Huangze City after leaving the Jiang family.

Now, he's just pretending to come out of seclusion in his original form.

"Reporting to the Pavilion Master, there have indeed been a few major developments recently!"

Xueyi had clearly done her homework in advance, reporting everything to Lu Zaian.

There are mainly three sources of information.

Moreover, Lu Zaian already knew all of this in advance.

One of them was the Black Soil Mountains, where the Fire Refining Sect, with the help of the Blood Burning Sect, destroyed the Flying Cloud Sect.

Apart from a few Core Formation forces and Foundation Establishment forces protected by Core Formation forces, the Northern Airspace is also home to other forces.

Everyone is on edge and taking precautions.

When the protective formation could no longer provide them with a sense of security.

For a time, the Fire Refining Sect and the Blood Burning Sect were subjected to verbal attacks from various forces.

Especially when the historical background of the Burning Blood Sect was made public.

Given its brutal acts of annihilation and demonic cultism in the Maple Flower Domain.

Everyone was discussing how to join forces to resist this ferocious remnant of the demonic sect...

Secondly, Zixiao Temple took advantage of Yan Kuangge's arrival in Huangze City with his men to attend the auction.

They launched a counterattack and captured one of the Demon Spear Cult's spirit mines.

They also joined forces with several Foundation Establishment cultivators to ambush Yan Kuangge on his return journey.

Although they failed to intercept the Bodhi Seed of the Broken Mystery.

However, he also killed two Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Demon Spear Cult.

And he seriously injured Yan Kuangge.

The struggle between Zixiao Temple and the Demon Spear Sect had lasted for many years, and this was a rare victory for Zixiao Temple.

Thirdly, there is the evil Lai that Lu Zai'an transformed into—the name "Green-Clad Scholar".

In just one month, it became famous throughout the northern airspace.

Several Qi Refining cultivators who were spying on the battle that day used a recording stone to document Lu Zaian's fight.

He is clearly at the early stage of Foundation Establishment.

However, he was proficient in formations and could fight three opponents at once, killing two Foundation Establishment cultivators of the same level.

And escaped from the clutches of the Black Gun Deacon of the Demon Gun Cult.

This is a rare sight in the northern airspace, where hierarchy is clearly defined and foundations are as solid as the heavens.

There are not many Foundation Establishment cultivators in the entire northern airspace.

It can be said that every death is a major event.

However, those who are interested will investigate and trace the background of the scholar in blue robes no matter what.

In the end, they all returned empty-handed and completely baffled.

This person seemed to appear out of thin air and then disappear just as suddenly.

In addition, the scholar in green robes possesses extraordinary killing power, which contrasts sharply with his appearance and title.

The scholar in blue robes was also known as one of the most mysterious Foundation Establishment cultivators in the Northern Sky Domain.
