Starting Cultivation During a Trip

Chapter 589: Chapter 288: A Bountiful Harvest! Ye Beichen and Zhang Fan

Zhongnan Mountain, Welcome Building.

After the incident at Toad Treasure Mountain, Zhang Fan and his group were brought back by the experts of Zhongnan Mountain and settled here.

After all, with such a major incident occurring, Ye Beichen and Chang Weiyang, two great Celestial Masters, had arrived, even the Tai Sui of the Wuwei Sect had appeared, not to mention the birth of an Innate Spirit Embryo and the revealing of Vacuum Refining Form.

All these events combined constituted a world-shaking affair, and no one could remain uninvolved.

Only Bai Yujing was clever; she, being the Si Snake, was adept at the technique of Stinging Sleep and Dream, slipping past the experts of Zhongnan Mountain like a hibernating serpent and staying hidden at Toad Treasure Mountain.

Otherwise, once she arrived at Zhongnan Mountain, where experts were as numerous as clouds, her past and origins might have been easily seen through.

In the morning, sunlight spilled over the open ground in front of the Welcome Building.

On the mountain, clouds were misty, and the air was cold and clear.

Zhang Fan sat cross-legged on a large green stone, observing the scenery of Zhongnan Mountain and feeling the aura of the Quanzhen Dao’s first Ancestral Court.

This place is a 5A-level scenic spot, with tickets costing one hundred and eighty yuan, and if you want to stay on the mountain, it starts at one thousand six hundred per night.

However, this Welcome Building is not open to the public and serves as Zhongnan Mountain’s place for hosting guests.

Qi Delong and Qi Dongqiang, the two brothers, said that a few years ago, when they came to Zhongnan Mountain to participate in the "Daoist Sect Youth Backbone Exchange Meeting," they stayed here.

The environment here is nice, the WiFi signal is much stronger than in other parts of Zhongnan Mountain, and the internet speed is incredibly fast.

"Where did you go after that night? I searched for you for quite a while."

After a night’s rest, Qi Delong finally asked the question that had been on his mind.

The Vacuum Refining Form suddenly emerged, confronting three great Celestial Master-level strongmen, vying for the Innate Spirit Embryo, mysteries revealed, everything entering a vacuum-like state.

It was at that time that Qi Delong and Qi Dongqiang were separated from Zhang Fan.

"I went to Tai Sui Village," Zhang Fan did not conceal.

Having come this far, the disciples of Laojun Mountain were practically his own people.

"You really did find that village of the Wuwei Sect!?"

Qi Delong instinctively looked around and lowered his voice to speak.

"That thing Zhao Jie Xuan asked you to find..."

The brothers, Qi Delong and Qi Dongqiang, were entrusted by Zhao Jie Xuan to wait for Zhang Fan in Chang’an and brought him a document.

It was a photocopy of the "Eight Kings Carrying the Coffin," and Zhao Jie Xuan had specifically marked out the Great Seal in the hands of one of the coffin carriers.

At that time, Zhang Fan speculated that Zhao Jie Xuan wanted him to find a way to enter Tai Sui Village to search for clues about this Great Seal.

"Making it out alive was no small feat," Zhang Fan shook his head.

Zhao Jie Xuan, the clueless one, had never entered Tai Sui Village and didn’t know what it was like inside. Did he think he could just open Gao De Maps, follow the navigation, and casually go find whatever he wanted?

That was Tai Sui Village, not some bathhouse!?

Zhang Fan’s divided Evil God certainly had some strong opinions.

"This trip was extremely dangerous, and I almost might have stayed there," Zhang Fan lamented.

Zhao Jie Xuan’s request wasn’t fulfilled, but the rewards from this journey were substantial.

Not to mention bringing Lin Jianyue’s Primordial Spirit out of Tai Sui Village.

The creation hidden within Toad Treasure Mountain, Zhang Fan was nearly the biggest winner. freeweɓnovel.cøm

First, after refining and absorbing the "Pyramid of Corpses," Zhang Beijiang was promoted to a Great Master level Spirit Zombie.

It’s known that Spirit Zombies have neither soul nor spirit, making them easily possessed by a Primordial Spirit, thus controlled by others.

Unless a Sect Leader level Primordial Spirit enters his body acupoints, Zhang Beijiang now faces no threat from even a Great Master level Primordial Spirit, let alone the fact that his combat power itself surpasses that of ordinary Great Masters, and he has also awakened his pre-mortal Divine Sealing Technique, the "Five Demons Evil Lord."

The comprehensively upgraded Zhang Beijiang is as valuable as a Cyan Feather Treasure.

Besides this, Zhang Fan himself upgraded from the Great Master Third Layer to the Great Master Fifth Layer and acquired the Exotic Treasure "White Bone Relic" nurtured by Toad Treasure Mountain.

This Exotic Treasure harbors "Dragon Toad Treasure Qi," capturing the essence of mountains and rivers, its power unmatched by ordinary Cyan Feather Treasures, exceeding the "Demon-Revealing Mirror" of Laojun Mountain, as well as the "Thunder Essence Pearl" of Zhongnan Mountain.

Additionally, Zhang Fan also obtained a gourd of Exotic Treasure "Dragon Toad Oil," a precious material for refining the External Core, which can also be used alone to nourish and heal the wounds of the Primordial Spirit.

Currently, Zhang Fan is nurturing Lin Jianyue’s Primordial Spirit within the "Dragon Toad Oil," aiding her recovery. As soon as she awakens, they might know Zhao Jie Xuan’s whereabouts.

Qi Delong said, based on this year’s market value, this gourd of "Dragon Toad Oil" is worth at least six or seven million.

Such a vast amount is more than enough to repair the previously damaged "Mighty Spirit Demon-Suppressing Gold Seal."

You must know that Daoist Sect magical treasures are extremely difficult to refine; even a typical initial-stage Magical Artifact, with careful maintenance and daily devotion, can one day ascend to a magical treasure.

Unless there’s an enormous chance or it merges with other Exotic Treasures or Rare Treasures, climbing from Huang Yu, to Cyan Feather, then to Purple Feather... all of these are accumulations through time, refinements through Daoist Skill, and dedicated effort across generations.

Of course, each magical treasure has its own limit based on its material and crafting techniques.

Once the limit is reached, no amount of time’s baptism or daily offerings can promote it further.

Just like Laojun Mountain’s "Demon-Revealing Mirror," its limit is a Cyan Feather Treasure.

As for Meng Qiwu’s "Thunder Essence Pearl," its initial crafting limit was exceptionally high; thus, among treasures of the same level, its power is extraordinary, and it reached its Cyan Feather level by consuming over four hundred years and several generations of painstaking effort.

However, it still hasn’t reached its maximum limit.
