Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

Zhang Yuanjing circled the mountain in a stealthy flight, but he couldn't find the six from Burning Sun Mountain. Clearly, these people were also prepared; once they detected a nascent soul approaching, they used means to conceal their aura, but he didn't know where they were hiding.

So, he went straight to the southern peak. Yu Han Yan was already waiting at the summit. This stunning woman stood gracefully on a protruding rock, gazing at the mountains in the distance, her delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed.

"Senior Brother, what do you think the opportunity in the mountain is?"

"Isn't it the remnant bones?" Zhang Yuanjing walked to her side, standing beside her.

A faint fragrance wafted into his nose, seemingly carrying the lingering warmth of her skin. In an instant, a sense of unreality involuntarily surged into his heart.

"When I entered the Giant Rock Trial, Han Yan received a task, which was to shatter all the remnant bones. In that case, the remnant bones are naturally not the opportunity," Yu Han Yan said, somewhat perplexed.

Zhang Yuanjing asked, "Did you get anything from shattering all the remnant bones?"

"It wasn't mentioned," Yu Han Yan replied.

"Didn't that giant rock have a sword?" Zhang Yuanjing asked in surprise.

"It did," Yu Han Yan said with a self-deprecating smile, "but it said my cultivation was too low to use it, and it wouldn't recognize me as its master. So, after overcoming many difficulties and repeatedly facing perilous situations, I finally passed the trial, but in the end, all I got was a wisp of its divided soul, which can only be used to shatter bones. If it's not used, it will disappear on its own after ten days."

"With no restrictions and no rewards, this sword is quite interesting," Zhang Yuanjing said with a smile, "I wonder if Junior Sister is going to shatter the bones?"

"Of course," Yu Han Yan turned her head to look at Zhang Yuanjing, "Will Senior Brother still help me?"

Zhang Yuanjing turned around, his eyes meeting hers, and said frankly, "Of course, I will be with Junior Sister. However, the bones that are shattered must be given to me."

Yu Han Yan smiled like a flower, "If Senior Brother wants them, just take them."

Zhang Yuanjing looked at the delicate face within reach, her breath as fragrant as orchids. A familiar scene flashed in his mind, and the faded memories were re-colored, still so dazzling.

"Does Junior Sister trust me?"

Yu Han Yan nodded, "Of course, I trust you."

"Then I will take Junior Sister to find those skeletons!"

"From underground?" Yu Han Yan asked, her expression a little stiff.

"That's right," Zhang Yuanjing stared into her beautiful eyes and said playfully, "What's wrong? Does Junior Sister look down on it?"

Yu Han Yan quickly said, "No, it's just that I feel a little uncomfortable at the thought of being surrounded by dirt."

Zhang Yuanjing laughed heartily, "Junior Sister, it's not like I'm asking you to burrow through the soil. You can hide in that bead, and I'll carry it around."

Yu Han Yan said with a bitter face, "Does it have to be like this? Is there no other way?"

Zhang Yuanjing said decisively, "It must be like this, otherwise, it's better to give up."

"Then, then alright!" Yu Han Yan lowered her eyes, accepting Zhang Yuanjing's arrangement, "Please wait a moment, Senior Brother."

She closed her eyes and remained silent, as if communicating with someone. After a long while, she opened her eyes and smiled, "Alright, she agreed."

Then, under Zhang Yuanjing's gaze, Yu Han Yan gracefully turned her delicate body, her white dress fluttering like a blooming white lotus.

Two breaths later, the dancing figure disappeared, and the white crystal bead appeared, slowly floating closer and landing in his hand.

The bead was extremely cold to the touch, the chill directly seeping into his heart. However, after a few breaths, it began to warm up again, as if it had its own body temperature.

He pondered for a moment, waved his hand, and put it into his storage bracelet. Then, he burrowed into the ground and fled towards Savage Mountain.

He went straight to the southern mountain. After entering the mountain, he used Obscured Sky to conceal his aura and approached the stone house. According to Zhang San's investigation, there were no savages left in the valley, nor were there any nascent soul cultivators. There were only three core formation cultivators, one on the shore of the lake, one next to the stone house, and one suspended in the air above the lake. The three's cultivation realms were one in the late stage of core formation and two in the middle stage of core formation.

Without a doubt, nascent soul cultivators had already visited this place, but he didn't know if the remnant bones in the stone house were still there. Back then, with Fire Crow Taoist's strength, he didn't dare to go directly into the lake to check. It seemed that ordinary nascent soul cultivators couldn't enter the stone house.

However, since he could use the Source Stone to isolate the violent power in the water, other cultivators might be able to do the same. Especially nascent soul cultivators, who had many methods. Once they were prepared, they wouldn't be helpless.

He approached the stone house, heading towards the entrance that connected to the lake. Zhang San couldn't detect the situation inside the house. To be safe, he took out the crystal bead and said, "Junior Sister, can you hear me? Please use this bead to investigate whether there are any remnant bones in the house? Are there any cultivators?"

A breath later, Yu Han Yan's voice came, "Senior Brother, I've already investigated. There are still remnant bones inside, but there are also cultivators. However, that cultivator's cultivation is only in the late stage of core formation."

"Core formation cultivator? No problem!"

Compared to a core formation cultivator, Zhang Yuanjing was more worried that the remnant bones had been taken away. Such precious things were, to him, the more the better.

With the Source Stone protecting his body, he rushed into the water and entered the stone house. When he was hidden in the water, his divine sense was blocked. The core formation cultivator inside couldn't see him, and of course, he couldn't see the person clearly.

However, he couldn't stay in the water for long. Even if the Source Stone had advanced to the fourth rank, it couldn't withstand it for too long.

Therefore, when the Source Stone flowed with the water to the previous location, he raised his magic power and jumped out of the water, heading towards the transverse bone.

"Who? It's you!" A vigorous voice came.

Zhang Yuanjing looked up, scanned the area with his divine sense, and his expression couldn't help but freeze: "It's you?"

"That's right, it's this old Taoist! Fellow Daoist Zhang, we meet again, haha!" The voice said with some surprise.

Zhang Yuanjing landed on the transverse bone, hesitated for a moment, and cupped his hands, saying, "This poor Taoist Zhang Yuanjing greets Treasurer Qin."

"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Zhang!" In the darkness, the old Taoist returned the greeting with a chuckle, "This old Taoist has been in this place for more than half a year, racking my brains and using all means, but I still can't take off an inch of bone. I'm in a dilemma, but I didn't expect Fellow Daoist to come, which makes this old Taoist feel quite lucky!"

Zhang Yuanjing frowned. This statement sounded a little wrong. This old Taoist seemed to have him all figured out. He couldn't help but carefully look at him a few times, but he didn't find anything wrong.

At this time, Yu Han Yan's voice came, "There is still an aura on him, it seems to be hiding a clone!"

Clone? A cultivator's clone, or a spiritual treasure's clone?

As if hearing the question in his heart, Yu Han Yan said again, "It's like a soul, or something like a remnant soul! Senior Brother, stall for some time, and I'll investigate further!"

"Fellow Daoist Zhang, why don't we make a deal?" Old Taoist Qin said with an appearance of everything being under control.

"What deal?"

"You take the bones, and I'll trade them for Purple Zenith Pills."

"How do we trade?"

"Originally, this old Taoist agreed with Fellow Daoist to exchange ten broken bones for one pill. Now it seems that this skeleton is so large that it can be broken down into at least thousands of bones. If we exchange ten for one pill again, my Profound Pill Hall will be at a disadvantage. How about this, Fellow Daoist will take down this entire skeleton, divide half of it to this old Taoist, and this old Taoist will give Fellow Daoist one high-grade, two middle-grade, and three low-grade Purple Zenith Pills!"

"Treasurer Qin is carrying Purple Zenith Pills?" Zhang Yuanjing asked in a deep voice.

"Haha, Fellow Daoist Zhang is joking, how can this old Taoist carry such precious things with me? The pills are naturally stored in the Profound Pill Hall," Old Taoist Qin laughed.

"Then let's do this, I'll take the broken bones and go to Guitang to trade," Zhang Yuanjing said lightly.

Old Taoist Qin's laughter stopped abruptly. After a few moments of silence, he said, "If this old Taoist can't enter this place, Fellow Daoist can trade as you wish. But since this old Taoist is already here, then at least half of this skeleton must be divided. When my sect's nascent soul arrives, this skeleton will have nothing to do with Fellow Daoist."

"Nascent soul? This poor Taoist observes that many nascent souls have already come to this place. I wonder why they don't come here, but only a few core formation cultivators are guarding outside? Your sect's nascent soul has probably already been here and is also helpless!" Zhang Yuanjing bluntly exposed his lies.

Old Taoist Qin smiled slyly, "Fellow Daoist probably doesn't know the status of my Profound Serenity Palace in the cultivation world? This place already belongs to my sect, and the remaining nascent soul cultivators, no matter which sect or region they are from, will not come to snatch it! My sect has its own means to break this skeleton. If you don't believe me, you'll know when my sect's nascent soul arrives!"

Zhang Yuanjing gave a light smile, but said nothing. With the reputation of the Profound Serenity Palace, if they declared that they wanted to occupy this place, most other cultivators would not rashly break in. Just looking at the calm appearance of the core formation cultivators outside, one could tell that what this old Taoist said was true.

However, his statement that the Profound Serenity Palace must have a way to break this bone was just bluffing. If it were that simple, the long sword in the giant rock and the trials set up would have long ceased to exist, and the secrets of Savage Mountain would have been dug out in these ten years, how could they have been left until now!

Moreover, if the Profound Serenity Palace had a way to take away the remnant bones, why would this old Taoist trade with him and say it so politely.

He suddenly remembered that Yu Han Yan mentioned that there were no skeletons in the stone house on the southern mountain. This might indicate that someone had previously passed the trial of the giant rock, obtained the sword's split or sword energy, and removed a bone, but failed to break all the skeletons, so they did not complete the task given by the sword in the giant rock.

In that case, there are less than six remnant bones left in the seven dwarf mountains of Savage Mountain. Yu Han Yan's task only needs to break the remaining few places to be completed.

Seeing Zhang Yuanjing remain silent, Old Taoist Qin thought he had been bluffed by his words, so he said again, "Fellow Daoist Zhang, the reason why this old Taoist is talking about cooperation with you is that on the one hand, I see that Fellow Daoist is an honest person who acts according to the rules, and on the other hand, it is because I am worried that my sect's True Person will not be able to arrive in time and there will be changes in the mountain, making it impossible to remove the bones. Moreover, there must be other remnant bones in this mountain. If you and I cooperate, we can obtain more. This old Taoist is also confident that I can persuade the nascent souls outside not to interfere. All the remnant bones, you and I will split them in half, and I will also give you three Purple Zenith Pills. How about it?"

Zhang Yuanjing sneered in his heart, pretending to be concerned and asked, "There are still changes in the mountain? I wonder what those changes are?"

Old Taoist Qin pondered for a moment and said, "Several years ago, the demon race suddenly withdrew its siege of the seven human race immortal cities and concentrated its forces on the western section of the Hengduan Mountains. At that time, all the True Persons guessed that it was very likely that the demon race had obtained a earth-grade spiritual object, so they set up defenses to prepare for the transformation great demon who swallowed the spiritual object to break through the realm. Although the Seven Cities Alliance gathered dozens of nascent soul cultivators and invaded westward in an attempt to interfere, it was mostly ineffective. Once the demon race produces another transformation god existence, it will be difficult to protect the seven cities of the Hengduan Mountains, and this place will definitely be taken back by the demon race."

Zhang Yuanjing sighed softly and said, "I didn't expect the demon race to get it. If the demon race adds a transformation god, my human race cultivators will have many more dangers."

Old Taoist Qin nodded in agreement and said, "Isn't that so! Losing the Hengduan Mountains means that the Central Domain and the Southern Domain will not be able to connect directly and will have to bypass the Western Domain or the Eastern Domain, which is more than double the distance. Moreover, the Southern Domain is sandwiched between the Hengduan Mountains and the South Sea, which is the most dangerous."

He paused slightly and then said, "Fellow Daoist Zhang, this matter is already like this, worrying is useless. Why don't you and I cooperate first, take the remnant bones here, it's better than leaving them to the demon race."

Zhang Yuanjing smiled, "Why is Treasurer Qin so anxious? Breaking through the transformation god is not a matter of a day or two, I think it will not be possible for several decades."

Seeing that he always avoided talking about cooperation, Old Taoist Qin couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, but he still restrained his temper and said patiently, "For transformation great perfection demon cultivators with profound cultivation and perfect Taoism, if they get the opportunity, breaking through the transformation god is only a matter of a thought. Now, several years have passed since the demon race obtained the earth-grade spiritual object, and perhaps a new transformation god realm demon cultivator has already appeared! Fellow Daoist Zhang, time waits for no one, please give this old Taoist an accurate answer, will you cooperate or not?"

Zhang Yuanjing didn't take his words of coercion seriously, but leisurely said, "This poor Taoist has always had a question, why is Treasurer Qin so sure that I can demolish this valley?"

Old Taoist Qin was stunned and asked, "Can't you demolish it?"

Zhang Yuanjing said, "If I could demolish it, why didn't I demolish it when I got that remnant bone in the past!"

Old Taoist Qin sneered, "If you can't demolish it, what are you doing here today!"

Zhang Yuanjing shook his head, "Treasurer Qin, you are too arbitrary, this poor Taoist is just passing by this place, seeing cultivators coming and going here, so I came in to see if the remnant bones are still there. Since it hasn't been taken away, this poor Taoist is relieved!"

After saying that, he suddenly jumped down and disappeared into the water.

Old Taoist Qin was stunned, and then shouted anxiously, "Fellow Daoist Zhang, Fellow Daoist Zhang! If you are not satisfied, the conditions can be negotiated again!"
