I Seek Immortality Through Serendipity

”Busy?”

”What does Senior Sister mean by this?”

Gu Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly, asking in confusion.

His Soldier Fighting Hall was just founded, and there were only a few disciples in the hall. How could they be busy?

”The root of all this falls upon you...”

The Sword Fox Immortal’s expression revealed a hint of helplessness.

”Hmm?”

Gu Yuan was even more baffled.

”Dharma Pill!”

The Sword Fox Immortal softly uttered two words.

”Dharma Pill?!”

Gu Yuan’s heart stirred, and he began to ponder.

”To exchange for the Golden Cauldron Seal and Golden Cauldron Grass, I offered the Six Ren Golden Book of Alchemy that you obtained to the Daoist School. As long as any Foundation Establishment disciple in the school contributes enough, they can exchange for this to cultivate.”

”This is an Anomalous Scripture capable of increasing cultivation speed by several times. Who wouldn’t be tempted?”

”Increasing one’s cultivation by twofold means having twice the chance of achieving Core Formation.”

”Not to mention the disciples from the Seven Clans, even those with some skills in the Humble Lineage have eagerly exchanged for this scripture.”

”You also know this scripture, its biggest difficulty lies not in comprehension, but in Demon Pill. As long as there are enough Demon Pills, the Dharma Pill can be achieved, enhancing cultivation!”

”Though the Daoist School has some Demon Pills stored, how can it supply the cultivation needs of so many Foundation Establishment cultivators?”

”Hence, over the years, many Foundation Establishment disciples have scoured the Nine Rivers, frantically searching for Exotic Demon Beasts to slay and extract pills from!”

”The Daoist School has always been at odds with the major demon powers above the Nine Rivers Marsh. After exterminating the Jade Water Fire-Eyed Ape tribe, tensions have escalated, and this massacre has utterly enraged the Eight Rivers Demon Race.”

”Currently, upstream of the Nine Rivers Marsh, Little Demons gather in clouds, and Demon Generals are entrenched, incessantly battling with our Daoist School disciples. Blood has flowed for decades with casualties on both sides; the situation has grown increasingly severe...”

As she spoke of this, the Sword Fox Immortal’s expression was filled with helplessness.

She had long foreseen that the Six Ren Golden Book of Alchemy would indeed stir waves within the Daoist School, but she hadn’t anticipated how fierce these waves would be, spreading like wildfire, engulfing both the Eight Rivers Demon Race and the entire Daoist School.

She underestimated the allure this scripture has for Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Even amidst fire and water, risking death, some would struggle, would seize!

In this world, there are many cultivators who are cautious.

But there are also many who would risk death for the pursuit of the Great Dao!

”The Great Dao is about contention; our Daoist School still has many bold and fierce generations...”

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuan merely sighed softly.

He had risen from obscurity, with poor Root Bone, thus knowing very well the difficulty of mana accumulation, a cultivation predicament that could drive one mad.

As time ticked by, one’s mana progresses like a snail, without an inch gained. Watching one’s hair turn white can truly lead to insanity.

Many cultivators in this world falter, not because they lack courage to contend, but because they cannot see the ”direction,” not knowing how to fight.

The Six Ren Golden Book of Alchemy precisely gives them a glimmer of hope.

”In this world, Exotic Demon Beasts are rare, but right beside our Daoist School, there are Eight Vein exotic species!”

”To truly speak of it, it’s as if your Golden Book is tailored specifically for our Daoist School...”

The Sword Fox Immortal did not blame those disciples who slayed demons, merely lamenting the unpredictable nature of worldly affairs.

”What is the current situation now?”

Gu Yuan asked again.

”The East Mountain has Nine Rivers, with aquatic domains harboring nine clans, where the Jade Water Fire-Eyed Ape was driven away by our Daoist School, yet the other eight clans remain covetous.”

”Among these eight clans, the most powerful is the Ink Flood Dragon clan, which has a millennium-old flood dragon that compares to a Daoist Embryo, the sole Demon King within the Nine Rivers!”

”However, the Ink Flood Dragon clan is sparse. This old flood dragon is indifferent to the affairs of the Nine Rivers, even when our Daoist School invaded the Red Moon River, there was no reaction from it.”

”But this time, the ambush of demon beasts and pill extracting for cultivation has utterly angered the rest of the seven clans. These demon races have united, wailing and crying day and night before the old flood dragon’s cave. The old flood dragon seems annoyed by this commotion and has sent disciples to join the Eight Rivers Alliance.”

Speaking of the Ink Flood Dragon, the Sword Fox Immortal’s expression also grew tense.

”Eight Rivers Alliance?”

”Ink Flood Dragon, Three-Eyed Cyan Snake, Iron-Producing Giant Demon, Golden-Horned Rhinoceros, Primordial Crystal Crocodile, Black Water Infant Beast, Swaying Demoness, Water Profound Deer—the Eight Domains Demon Race have united to form an alliance.”

”Initially, there was only the Seven Rivers Alliance, but with the old flood dragon’s acquiescence, it’s become the Eight Rivers Alliance.”

”These Eight Rivers Demon Race patrol jointly above the Nine Rivers. Any disciple from our Daoist School who shows themselves will be killed immediately, regardless of right or wrong. It’s truly cruel.”

”Moreover, their united demon army gradually crosses its Water Realm, heading towards the Red Moon River...”

The Sword Fox Immortal sighed.

The Nine Rivers Demon Race, originally disorganized and consumed by internal strife, wished death upon other tribes to devour their flesh.

But after Cyan Peak Daoist School drove away the Jade Water Fire-Eyed Ape, the Eight Rivers Demon Race began to unite vaguely.

Only, previously, with the old flood dragon not appearing, the other demon races dared not act recklessly, merely watching the Daoist School make its move, hoping that once the Jade Water Fire-Eyed Apes were annexed, their appetite would be satisfied.

The Daoist School originally thought the same.

Proceeding gradually, not rushing to act against all demon races.

However, the Six Ren Golden Book of Alchemy expedited this process.

”How many Great Demons does the Eight Rivers Demon Race have?”

Gu Yuan wasn’t concerned about the internal reasons, only asking the most crucial question.

In this world’s powers, fighting and killing is nothing extraordinary, especially among alien races.

It’s merely about who has the larger fist, and who is justified.

After all, the supreme force that balances heaven and earth has already become unbalanced.

”This matter requires further inquiry, as whether there are newly ascended Great Demons, we don’t really know. But according to previous intelligence, if the Eight Rivers’ Great Demons combine, there are no more than twelve.”

The Sword Fox Immortal chuckled softly, with little fear in her tone.

”Twelve?”

Gu Yuan couldn’t help but be somewhat surprised.

This force is greater than the Daoist School.

Upon hearing this, the Sword Fox Immortal raised her charming eyes slightly, looking at Gu Yuan with a hint of teasing in her tone: ”What’s wrong, is the True Inheritance Chief afraid?”

Gu Yuan smiled helplessly: ”Senior Sister, don’t tease me.”

”Though I’ve broken through to Golden Core, I have only one scripture and one seal, how could I contend against these long-established Great Demons?”

”Feeling uneasy is merely natural.”

With this, the Sword Fox Immortal’s laughter was unceasing, and in her charming eyes, there was a hint of pride:

”Don’t worry, we old folks are still around!”

”Mere demon race, how could they contend against our Daoist School’s True Scripture Technique? Even with twelve Great Demons, we fear not!”

”However, your Soldier Fighting Hall, which is mainly about carnage, if a real fight ensues, it will surely require your effort.”

”You still need to quickly supplement your techniques to prevent any changes in the situation!”

The Sword Fox Immortal was initially self-satisfied, then warned Gu Yuan.

”Senior Sister’s words are very true. Junior Brother is here today precisely for this matter!”

Having said this, Gu Yuan waved his sleeves and presented the Purple Sky Golden Thunder Bamboo given by Master Yunyang to the Sword Fox Immortal.

”Dare I ask Senior Sister, how should this Sword Pill be refined?”
