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

There are four exits in the miniature palace phantom, located in the east, south, west, and north directions of the palace.

At this moment, only the northern exit is swirling and slowly glowing.

"It seems the north direction is the lake bottom entrance we came in through before. I'll teleport Lin Feng and the others to the hall closest to the lake bottom entrance..."

Lu Zaian muttered to himself.

However, Lu Zaian himself did not teleport with the others from Lingyao Valley.

In fact, Lu Zaian did not teleport the remaining nine people to one place.

Instead, they were divided into three groups and transported to a hall near the entrance to the lake bottom, where they were allowed to explore and reunite on their own.

Otherwise, when the disciples of Lingyao Valley landed, they would find that Lu Zaian was the only one missing from their group.

Lu Zaian did not want to reveal his ability to control teleportation.

Because Lu Zaian realized that this was a perfect opportunity to break free from the control of the Spirit Medicine Valley.

The various factions outside currently only know of one entrance at the bottom of the lake and are unaware that other entrances and exits exist within the secret realm.

The Foundation Establishment elders were also guarding the lakeside, giving Lu Zaian the opportunity to slip away through another exit...

Although Lu Zaian had been in the Spirit Medicine Valley before, he had no shortage of cultivation resources.

But since it wasn't voluntary, and he was essentially living under someone else's roof, surrounded by many Foundation Establishment experts, Lu Zaian always felt uncomfortable.

He feared that one day the secret of his immortal body would be exposed.

Moreover, in the Valley of Spirit Medicine, Lu Zaian's life and fortune were not under his control.

Just like this trip to the secret realm, Lu Zaian was originally extremely unwilling.

However, once the Valley Master of Lingyao Valley gave the order, he had no choice but to obey, or his life would be in danger.

Even the disciples sent to explore the secret realm would fight to the death, and the purple-gold divine pills they obtained would ultimately fall into the hands of those Foundation Establishment cultivators.

In Lu Zaian's view, as long as one's cultivation level is below the Foundation Establishment stage, staying in the Spirit Medicine Valley and the Black Soil Mountains will always make one a pawn to be used by others.

Even disciples with outstanding talent like Lin Feng, Chi Yanfeng, and Xue Zi.

As long as one hasn't reached the Foundation Establishment stage, they're just a more useful pawn to those powerful figures.

Now that he has the opportunity to break free from control, Lu Zaian will naturally not let this opportunity pass.

"However, the Purple-Gold Divine Pill is a good thing, should I...?"

Lu Zaian looked through the illusory image of the miniature palace towards the point of light where Jiang Qiuyue was located.

The teleportation is not over yet, and he has the ability to change Jiang Qiuyue's landing point.

The Purple Gold Divine Pill was on Jiang Qiuyue's body, but Jiang Qiuyue had been seriously injured and was powerless to resist.

If Lu Zaian were to teleport Jiang Qiuyue to be with him, kill her, and seize the Purple Gold Divine Pill, it would be done without anyone knowing...

Lu Zaian narrowed his eyes, pondered for a moment, and then dismissed the idea.

It wasn't that he couldn't bring himself to do it; he had deeper considerations.

He could indeed seize the Purple Gold Divine Pill without anyone noticing.

But once the disciples from each family go out and spread the news, it will surely attract the attention of all Foundation Establishment cultivators.

When they discover that Jiang Qiuyue has not come out of the secret realm, given the minds of Foundation Establishment cultivators, they will definitely become suspicious.

They might wonder if Jiang Qiuyue is still trapped in the secret realm?

Or perhaps the secret realm has another exit, and Jiang Qiuyue absconded with the treasure?

Or was it killed and robbed, and then fell into the hands of other disciples?

When the time comes, they will definitely check all the disciples' bodies, including their storage bags, first. If they find nothing, they will suspect Lu Zaian who has disappeared.

Because Lu Zaian himself was unsure where the other three exits of the secret realm led.

What if I get discovered before I can leave the Black Soil Mountains?

Or, if the Black Soil Mountains are jointly blocked by several major forces, one's situation will be dire.

There's no doubt that my speed is no match for a Foundation Establishment cultivator's pursuit...

Therefore, to be on the safe side, you must not let everyone's attention be focused on you.

It's not worth taking such a big risk for a pill that you can't use right now.

On the other hand, once Jiang Qiuyue safely takes the Purple Gold Divine Pill out, it doesn't matter whether the Spirit Medicine Valley can protect the pill or not.

At that time, everyone's attention will surely be drawn to the Purple Gold Divine Pill.

Naturally, no one would notice Lu Zaian disappearing into the secret realm...

"Moreover, there's definitely more than one treasure in this secret realm. It'll be easier for me to act once they've diverted their attention..."

Lu Zaian's mind raced, his gaze passing through the illusory image of the miniature palace to a hall resembling a spirit plant hall.

"This hall of spiritual plants seems to be located near the central palace and has not yet been discovered. It must contain something good."

Once the token access was activated, Lu Zaian felt as if he had mastered a part of the teleportation array of this secret palace.

This way, many of the barriers and dangers within the palace can be avoided...

"Hehe, go ahead and fight over it, fight over that Purple Gold Divine Pill. The better if you fight it to the death and make a complete mess of things..."

In the world of cultivation, the strong prey on the weak. I was just quietly cultivating in the deep mountains, but I was dragged into the struggle.

Therefore, Lu Zaian had absolutely no goodwill towards any of these forces, including the Spirit Medicine Valley, the Fire Refining Sect, and the Blood Burning Sect.

With a thought, Lu Zaian's figure appeared in a new location, accompanied by a strong white light.

.........

the other side.

Three figures teleported to the ground.

Lin Feng felt dizzy and looked around, only to find that Jiang Qiuyue and Leng Sheng were the only two people beside him.

"Damn it, the teleportation array is random. We won't be able to rejoin the others in time. We need to find a way out quickly!"

Lin Feng's expression darkened slightly, but he breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the teleportation was random, thankfully my junior sister, junior brother Leng, and I were teleported together.

"Junior Sister, is the Purple Gold Divine Pill alright?" Lin Feng leaned closer and asked.

Jiang Qiuyue's face was still pale. Upon hearing this, she took out a wooden box from her storage bag.

The wooden box was gently opened, and the dazzling golden light reflected the faces of the three people.

A perfectly round, golden pill sat quietly in the wooden box, its body enveloped in dark purple cloud patterns, giving it an extremely elegant and magnificent appearance.

Lin Feng sniffed carefully, but there was no trace of the fragrance of the pill.

Clearly, all the medicinal power was tightly locked within the Purple Gold Divine Pill, which is why it was able to be preserved for so long.

"This is the legendary Purple-Gold Divine Pill? It even has pill patterns, and it's immortal for a thousand years. It's truly extraordinary..."

Lin Feng even had a fleeting thought of greed to possess it, but he immediately cut off the idea in his mind.

That would mean defecting from the Valley of Spirit Medicines, and he wouldn't be able to use it immediately.

Why not offer the Purple Gold Divine Pill to the Valley Master in exchange for a vast amount of cultivation resources?

Moreover, it can also help Lingyao Valley's overall strength reach a new level.

Once Spirit Medicine Valley produces a Core Formation cultivator, my status as the senior disciple of Spirit Medicine Valley will also rise accordingly...

"Junior Sister, keep it safe. Hopefully, we're not far from the exit. We need to leave the secret realm before the disciples of the Refining Fire Sect and the Burning Blood Sect, otherwise this divine pill won't be easy to bring back..."

Fortunately, the location where Lu Zaian teleported Lin Feng and the others was already close to the bottom entrance of the lake.

Before long, Lin Feng and his two companions found the exit and excitedly left with the Purple-Gold Divine Pill...
