Immortal Martial Arts: Marry a Wife and Live a Long Life

Chapter 27: Body Nurturing Furnace

"Is this really such a precious treasure?"

Looking at the treasure in his hand, Han Li's expression was uncertain.

In his hand was an item shaped like a furnace, only the size of a palm. Various runes were engraved on the furnace walls, lid, bottom, and inside.

He recognized what it was.

The Body Nurturing Furnace!

This was a well-known treasure, famous throughout the entire Daqian Dynasty. It was said to be at least an Earth Grade top-quality treasure and the supreme treasure of the Canghai Sect.

The Canghai Sect in Qingzhou had a Grandmaster of the Myriad Manifestations Realm sitting in it, making it a top power in the entire Daqian Dynasty, ranking among the top ten.

Legend has it that the founder of the Canghai Sect obtained the supreme treasure, the Body Nurturing Furnace, and rose to prominence, eventually cultivating to the peak of the Myriad Manifestations Realm and establishing the vast Canghai Sect.

The Body Nurturing Furnace was also the biggest reliance of the Canghai Sect to be counted among the top ten sects of the Daqian Dynasty, ensuring that every generation of sect masters reached the Myriad Manifestations Realm. It had never been interrupted for five thousand years, making its history even older than that of the Daqian Dynasty.

Han Li had also heard a legend that the Body Nurturing Furnace was just an imitation, or even a failed product.

In ancient times, there was a supreme treasure called the Life Nurturing Furnace. Although it was not an immortal tool, it was a true divine weapon, and even a top-quality divine weapon with astonishing power and boundless might.

There were powerful experts in the past who attempted to imitate the Life Nurturing Furnace and refine a supreme treasure, but they ultimately failed, leaving behind two failed products. One of them was the Body Nurturing Furnace, and the other was the Spirit Nurturing Furnace.

Although the Body Nurturing Furnace and the Spirit Nurturing Furnace were failed products and did not reach the level of the ancient supreme treasure, they were still top-quality Heaven Grade treasures.

Although Han Li hadn't carefully examined the Body Nurturing Furnace in his hand, at most, it was just a low-grade Heaven Grade treasure, far from being a top-grade Heaven Grade treasure. Despite only being three grades apart, it was like a huge gap.

Therefore, Han Li felt that this legend was most likely a rumor, and there was no ancient supreme treasure called the Life Nurturing Furnace at all.

"But how could this precious treasure be here?"

Playing with the small furnace, Han Li looked at the charred corpse and thought of some information he had accidentally come across ten days ago.

Half a year ago, the leader of the White Lotus Sect, the Undying Mother, fled to Qingzhou and attacked the Canghai Sect while the sect master was visiting friends, intending to seize the supreme treasure, the Body Nurturing Furnace.

The Undying Mother spent a lot of time breaking through the grand formation and infiltrating the Canghai Sect, successfully obtaining the Body Nurturing Furnace. However, just as she was about to escape, the pursuers from the Daqian Dynasty arrived.

The governor of the three provinces led two Empty Void Grandmasters to arrive first and engaged in a fierce battle with the Undying Mother, causing a great commotion. The three Empty Void Grandmasters of the Canghai Sect also made their move, intending to kill the Undying Mother and reclaim the Body Nurturing Furnace.

In the chaos of the battle, unable to withstand the pressure, the Undying Mother had to abandon the supreme treasure and threw the Body Nurturing Furnace somewhere before escaping.

The governor of the three provinces continued to chase after the Undying Mother, but the two Empty Void Grandmasters under his command stayed behind to seize the Body Nurturing Furnace and continued to fight against the three Grandmasters of the Canghai Sect.

By the time the sect master of the Canghai Sect and the chief steward of the Jingye Department arrived, the precious treasure, the Body Nurturing Furnace, had already been lost. No one knew where it went. Perhaps it hadn't been found by anyone yet, or perhaps it had been found long ago but no one admitted to it.

The sect master of the Canghai Sect was furious. He struck at the two Empty Void Grandmasters of the Daqian Dynasty, intending to kill them. If it weren't for their interference, the Body Nurturing Furnace wouldn't have gone missing.

The chief steward of the Jingye Department intervened to stop it. Naturally, he wouldn't let the two Empty Void Grandmasters of the Daqian Dynasty be killed. In the end, the two sides fought to a draw, and the chief steward of the Jingye Department led the two Empty Void Grandmasters to leave safely.

Left behind was the sect master of the Canghai Sect, raging impotently on the spot. He didn't even dare to make empty threats. He had already made a move against the Empty Void Grandmasters and the chief steward of the Jingye Department, but failed. If he took it a step further, the Daqian Dynasty would annihilate the Canghai Sect with thunderous force.

He harbored extreme hatred towards the Undying Mother and became hostile towards the Daqian Dynasty.

If it weren't for the Undying Mother attacking the sect, attracting the Daqian Dynasty, the Daqian Dynasty wouldn't have found an opportunity to make a move against the Canghai Sect.

For a major sect like the Canghai Sect, the Great Qian Dynasty has long wanted to deal with them, but they have been waiting for the right opportunity. It's a delicate situation that requires the perfect timing.

When the Unborn Mother threw out the Lifesaving Furnace, the opportunity arose. As long as they seize the Lifesaving Furnace, the Canghai Sect will lose its reliance and dare not attack the capital city.

It is precisely because of this certainty that the three provincial commanders ordered two grandmasters to snatch it. Even if they don't succeed, as long as the Canghai Sect doesn't retrieve the Lifesaving Furnace, it will be a great achievement.

Without the Lifesaving Furnace, the Canghai Sect will gradually decline, and the threat to the Great Qian Dynasty will diminish. That's why the Chief Steward of the Jingye Department fought against the Canghai Sect's Sect Master, allowing him to vent his anger and prevent any further trouble.

"Damn it!"

After venting a lot of anger, the Canghai Sect's Sect Master regained his composure and didn't pursue the Great Qian Dynasty's lack of martial ethics. He could only silently swallow the bitter fruit and dispatch a large number of people to search, praying that the Lifesaving Furnace hadn't been picked up by someone.

Without the Lifesaving Furnace, the Canghai Sect is just an ordinary sect in one province. But if they recover the Lifesaving Furnace, the Canghai Sect will still be one of the top ten sects of the Great Qian Dynasty.

According to rumors, after a month of searching, the Canghai Sect narrowed down their target to a disciple of another sect, suspecting that the inner disciple had hidden the Lifesaving Furnace.

Then the Canghai Sect discovered that the disciple had slipped away half a month ago, causing a commotion within the sect. The elders and disciples were mobilized to search for the whereabouts of that disciple, but they have yet to find any leads.

"Could he be that lucky guy?" Han Li muttered to himself.

The conclusion is obvious. This casual cultivator in green clothes is the lucky one who found the Lifesaving Furnace. His luck is extraordinary, allowing him to escape all the way to Leizhou and even enter the Yin-Yang Path after passing through two or three prefectures.

I don't know if his luck was depleted after obtaining the Lifesaving Furnace, leading to his downfall in Han Li's hands.

"If only I had asked for his name earlier." Han Li realized that he didn't even know the name of this good person before killing him.

"Ah~" Han Li let out a soft sigh. He now has another secret that must not be discovered, otherwise, he will have no place to bury himself.

He has already decided to keep the Lifesaving Furnace. It is a precious treasure for cultivation, and he can't just throw it away, right? As for returning it to the Canghai Sect, Han Li has no such intention.

After all, he already has enough secrets on him, such as the Longevity Clan System, the Transcendence Pill formula, and now the Lifesaving Furnace. Any one of them being exposed would bring him great trouble.

Flying out of the huge pit, Han Li used his true essence to fill it with sand and soil, covering the battlefield and giving this good person a burial place.

Han Li carefully inspected the area again, trying to eliminate all traces as much as possible to avoid being discovered.

Then, Han Li flew towards the first battlefield. He still had an important matter to attend to.

On the other side, in a mansion in Huozhou.

The Unborn Mother was hiding here, accompanied by the last White Lotus Sect's Dharma King. However, the Dharma King had already lost an arm and looked dispirited.

The Unborn Mother's complexion was also quite pale as she hurriedly treated her injuries. If the pursuers arrived and her injuries hadn't recovered somewhat, she would probably not be able to escape.

Thinking about how the Lifesaving Furnace was stolen by a lucky person, the Unborn Mother felt quite annoyed. She had snatched the Lifesaving Furnace to accelerate her recovery. Otherwise, being chased all the time would eventually lead to trouble, and the Lifesaving Furnace's function of accelerating cultivation would be of little use to her.

Unfortunately, her attempt to gain an advantage ended up backfiring, and now she was even more injured.

She also wanted to escape to Leizhou, but Leizhou, Qingzhou, and Huozhou's borders were already under martial law, with a large number of powerful individuals stationed there, making it difficult to infiltrate.

Recommendations, votes, followers, and investments are all welcome.
