Starting From The Equal Opportunity To Become A Saint

Chapter 95: A Gathering of Wind and Clouds, the Underground Fortress!

Xiguang Province.

Mount Longhu.

A unique aura belonging to a grandmaster slowly swept through the air above the entire gate of Mount Longhu, like flowing water.

It was Zhao Beixuan, the third elder of Mount Longhu, who had successfully broken through the Embryonic Breathing stage and stepped onto the path of a grandmaster.

"Congratulations, Senior Mingjian, on achieving your long-cherished wish and becoming a grandmaster!"

"Congratulations, Uncle Mingjian, on reaching the pinnacle of martial arts and having the possibility of entering the Holy Realm!"

"Congratulations, Elder Mingjian..."

Throughout Mount Longhu, the congratulatory voices of disciples could be heard everywhere.

Zhao Beixuan flew up into the air, suspended in mid-air.

First, he bowed towards the direction where the Sect Master was, and then he spoke loudly, "Sect Master, my disciples Jingxu, Jingzheng, and my disciple's disciple Xuanqing were sent to Luozhou to investigate the 'Guiding Breath Technique' before the disaster struck, and they have not returned until now."

"I am worried about their safety and wish to go to Luozhou to find out what happened and bring them back. I hope Sect Master will agree!"

After the disaster, the baptism of spiritual energy came suddenly. Zhao Beixuan felt something and chose to seclude himself within the gate for many years. Today, he finally achieved something and stepped into the realm of a grandmaster.

However, he discovered that his two most outstanding disciples were not by his side.

After inquiring, he learned that Jingxu and Jingzheng had not returned since they went to Luozhou, causing some concern in his heart, which led to his decision to go to Luozhou to find his disciples.

"Very well!"

The voice of Zhang Zhenren came from the mountaintop.

"The calamity has just begun, and the spiritual power is surging. It is both a crisis and an opportunity!"

"Since Junior Mingjian has the intention to leave the mountain, why not act as a guardian and take some of the younger disciples with the surname 'Jing' and the disciple with the surname 'Xuan' to go out and gain experience!"

Zhao Beixuan raised an eyebrow, seeming somewhat reluctant.

If he were to go alone, he could reach Luozhou at full speed in just two days at most.

But if he were to bring a group of younger disciples, the travel time would undoubtedly be greatly extended.

Seeing that Zhao Beixuan seemed hesitant, Zhang Zhenren's voice quietly reached his ears again.

"Junior Brother, rest assured. Those who are qualified to go out and gain experience this time are all prodigious disciples who have successfully broken through to the Golden Body stage. They will not delay Junior Brother too much time."

"Moreover, the situation in Luozhou is unknown at present. After arriving in Luozhou, with these younger disciples by your side, it will be much more convenient to gather information!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Beixuan bowed and accepted the order, saying loudly, "I will obey the Sect Master's command!"

A moment later.

Six middle-aged Taoists and four young Taoists flew up to the peak of Mount Longhu.

After ten people simultaneously bowed to Zhao Beixuan and paid their respects, they flew up under Zhao Beixuan's lead and headed north to Dongyang.

Almost at the same time.

In front of the gate of Dalin Temple on Dashan Mountain.

Zhangmen Wuxing, along with several elder masters of Dalin Temple and more than ten Tianjiao disciples who had reached the peak of the Iron Bone Mirror, also began their formal advance towards Luozhou.

"Senior Zhangmen, since we are going to Luozhou to seek justice for Junior Brother Zhishan, why bring these young disciples from our sect?" Second Elder Zhiming asked Wuxing with some confusion.

"If there is a conflict in Luozhou, these disciples who have only reached the peak of the Iron Bone Realm may not be of much use, right?"

Upon hearing Elder Zhiming's question, the other elders all turned to look at Wuxing.

This question was also their doubt.

This trip to Luozhou was essentially to provoke trouble, and if things went wrong, it could lead to a serious conflict with the other party.

Wuxing's insistence on bringing a group of disciples who had only reached the peak of the Iron Bone Realm was undoubtedly burdensome.

If a fight were to break out, these disciples would not only be useless, but they would also become their weak point, making them vulnerable.

Instead of answering directly, Wuxing turned to look at Zhishan and Monk Zhishan, who insisted on accompanying them.

Monk Zhishan understood and softly recited a Buddhist chant before speaking, "Second Senior Brother, Third Senior Brother, perhaps you don't know, but there is a kind of spiritual medicine called the 'Boundary Breaking Pill' being refined in Luozhou."

"After a martial artist at the peak of the Iron Bone Realm takes this 'Boundary Breaking Pill', they can immediately break through and directly enter the Golden Body Realm!"

"The reason Senior Zhangmen insisted on bringing these disciples who have reached the Iron Bone Realm along on this journey is not only to give them an opportunity to gain experience, but more importantly, it is for the 'Boundary Breaking Pill' in Luozhou!"

Hiss!

Upon hearing this, Zhiming and the others couldn't help but inhale sharply.

Could there really be such a miraculous elixir in this world?

With just one pill, it could save several years or even more than a decade of arduous cultivation for a martial artist at the peak of the Iron Bone Realm, allowing them to break through to the Golden Body Realm in one fell swoop?

If that were true, then Senior Zhangmen's actions were justifiable.

Even they couldn't help but be tempted and wanted to reserve a few pills for the disciples of their own sect.

"Amitabha!" Wuxing timely spoke, "Treasures are heaven's gift, and those with fate will obtain them."

"As for Liu Zimo in Luozhou, since he dared to seize our Dalin Temple's secret technique inheritance, we naturally have the right to demand reasonable compensation from him."

"In my opinion, those sixteen 'Boundary Breaking Pills' should be destined for the disciples of our Dalin Temple!"

Zhiming and the other elders nodded in agreement.

In their eyes, the 'Boundary Breaking Pills' in Luozhou were already within their grasp, easily obtainable.

Even Zhishan, who had suffered a great loss at the hands of Liu Zimo and witnessed his strength, was now full of confidence.

In his view, this time, with the five master-level elders of Dalin Temple joining forces, even if Liu Zimo was formidable, he would only end up being captured and suppressed by them!

From the moment Liu Zimo dared to seek their Dalin Temple's secret transmission, his fate had already been sealed!

Luozhou City.

Unknown to Liu Zimo, who was on his way to Luozhou, the Dragon Tiger Mountain and Dalin Temple had both sent out Grandmaster-level experts. At sunrise, Liu Zimo quietly left the city with his father and younger brother.

Eight kilometers west of the city, beneath the riverbed.

When they saw the large and spiritually rich cave underground, Liu Yi and Liu Zihao were both shocked and amazed, their mouths wide open in complete astonishment!

Especially when they learned that the spiritual spring water Liu Zimo gave them to drink tomorrow night was actually taken from the central eye of the spring in the cave, they were even more astonished and speechless.

Such a large pool of spiritual spring water, there must be hundreds or even thousands of cups!

If they could drink this spiritual spring water every day to assist in their cultivation, how could their martial arts cultivation not improve?

"Originally, I was planning to wait a few days until I had completely set up this cave space before bringing you here."

Liu Zimo spoke softly at this moment.

"But last night, Haozi said he wanted to learn the alchemy technique left by his uncle, and he wanted to become an alchemist who could refine elixirs ten or a hundred times more powerful than the Breaking Realm Pill."

"So I changed my mind and decided to bring you here ahead of time."

"The concentration of spiritual energy in this cave space is ten times that of the outside world, and coupled with the daily production of a fixed amount of spiritual spring water, it is most suitable for martial arts cultivation and the cultivation of various spiritual fruits and herbs!"

"If Haozi really wants to become an alchemist, then let's start with cultivating herbs and familiarizing himself with the properties of various medicinal materials!"

Liu Zimo turned his gaze to Liu Zihao and said in a calm voice.

"In the future, you will live here. I will find various seeds of spiritual grass and herbs for you, as well as various related alchemy books, to help you step into the path of alchemy and become a true alchemist as soon as possible!"

Among the native martial artists on Earth, there is also the art of alchemy.

Dan medicines such as the Body Tempering Pill and the Qi and Blood Pill, which can improve one's physique and replenish qi and blood, are obtained through alchemy by major sects and martial arts families.

However, Liu Zimo did not want his younger brother to learn these native alchemy techniques that could only refine low-level pills.

The alchemy technique he truly favored, as well as more comprehensive knowledge of spiritual plant cultivation and breeding, were all in the mind of the little bug in his sea of consciousness.

As long as he occasionally stimulated and guided it with words, the talkative Yao Lingling would unconsciously blurt out all the related knowledge she knew.

Liu Zimo only needed to be a quiet porter, recording all the knowledge about alchemy and spiritual herbs mentioned in Yao Lingling's thought waves.

Those were all advanced alchemy techniques summarized by the human martial arts sects of the Illusory Demon Realm.

The so-called Breaking Realm Pill was just one of the simplest introductory pill formulas.

"Okay!" Liu Zihao nodded vigorously. "Big brother, rest assured, I will study alchemy with all my heart and will definitely not let you and dad down!"

Ever since he saw his uncle refining the brilliant Breaking Realm Pill with a steamer, Liu Zihao became obsessed with this special alchemy technique.

These days, he had been holding onto the alchemy guide left by his uncle before he went into seclusion, completely infatuated with it.

In order to test his uncle's pill formula, Liu Zihao even asked Yang Sisi to find him several related alchemy materials. After several attempts, he actually managed to refine some ordinary Qi-boosting pills.

Although the effect was not as amazing as the Breaking Realm Pill, when ordinary martial artists took it, it could still significantly increase their qi and blood cultivation.

At this point, Liu Zihao seemed to have pushed open the door to a whole new world, becoming even more infatuated with alchemy, feeling that this was the career he most wanted to pursue!

So last night, when he saw Liu Zimo for the first time, he told his older brother about this desire and aspiration in his heart.

Unexpectedly, the eldest brother unexpectedly showed extraordinary support, even bringing him to this underground cave, which is the most suitable place for cultivating spiritual medicine. He even promised to find more alchemy secrets for him.

Liu Zimo was deeply moved in his heart, so excited that his eyes turned red.

Liu Zimo raised his hand and patted his younger brother's shoulder, encouraging him, "As long as you truly enjoy this profession and can endure loneliness, you will definitely achieve your wishes in the future and become an outstanding alchemist. Big brother has confidence in you!"

"After a while, I will bring our little uncle here for closed-door cultivation."

"If you have any questions about practicing alchemy, your little uncle is your best teacher. You can ask him when he wakes up!"

Liu Zimo nodded vigorously.

Big brother had already thought of everything for him. What reason did he have not to study hard?

"From now on, this will be the secret base of our Liu family!"

Liu Zimo looked at his father again and solemnly instructed, "Father, you must keep it a secret. Don't let anyone know about the existence of this place!"

Silently, Liu Yi glanced at his eldest son. Was he really not trustworthy enough to need a special reminder?

"That's enough, kid. Although your father has a big mouth, he's not a child. How could he not understand the principle of not revealing wealth?"

"As for this underground cave, even if I die, I will never reveal a word about it!"

"However," as if thinking of something, Liu Yi raised an eyebrow and asked softly, "However, what should we do about Xiaofeihong in the future?"

"That girl is sticking to me now, calling me Master, just like my own granddaughter. How about bringing her here in the future?"

"Not for now!" Liu Zimo hesitated for a moment and shook his head slightly. "The little girl is still too young and her mind is not mature yet. If she really knows, it will be difficult for her to keep the secret."

"I will personally bring her here when she reaches the Martial Master realm and her state of mind becomes more mature and complete. It's not too late to tell her then!"

Liu Yi shrugged lightly and said no more.

Afterwards, taking advantage of his father and younger brother meditating and cultivating in the cave, Liu Zimo began to explore the surrounding area of the blessed land, constantly setting up illusions or modifying the terrain, completely concealing the entire underground blessed land.

The only entrance and exit were led to a mountain one kilometer away from the riverbed, extremely hidden.

In this way, he worked for about three hours.

When Liu Zimo stood on the riverbed, using his Saint-level divine sense and spiritual perception, he scanned the surroundings of the riverbed more than ten times and found no abnormalities. Only then did he truly relax.

In the future, unless someone's martial cultivation and soul cultivation far surpassed Liu Zimo's current realm, no one would be able to discover the existence of the spiritual energy blessed land a hundred meters underground!

As for the wild beasts in the wilderness, that goes without saying.

In order to prevent any wild beasts that were good at digging from accidentally entering, Liu Zimo even consumed a large amount of mental power to reinforce the soil and rock layers around the cave several times!

Finally, he set up a spiritual barrier to isolate the spiritual energy aura.

In the future, if any wild beasts accidentally triggered this spiritual barrier, Liu Zimo would be able to sense it immediately.

It can be said without reservation that this blessed land has now been transformed into an underground fortress with both defensive and concealment capabilities.

Placing his father, little uncle, and younger brother here for closed-door cultivation would be much safer and superior than the previous villa area.
