Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 2179 - 1559: Another Encounter (2)

”His sudden complete recovery just now must be due to taking the Immortal Ascension Pill. He won’t be able to maintain it for long, and once the effect wears off, he has no choice but death!”

”Although this is the case, we’ve been away from the family for a long time. If we don’t hurry back, there might truly be changes in the family.” Another Profound Immortal shared his opinion.

Zhang Daotong pondered for a moment and said, ”Keep pursuing for a while. If he can escape in this situation, let him live a bit longer.”

Although they couldn’t use Ming Yun’s head to assert dominance, the family was still more important than that.

Since the massive theft of Spiritual Objects, the Zhang Family has been targeted by many forces, exposing severe issues in their presence, so everyone wants a hefty piece of them!

Perhaps some forces are already secretly probing, just waiting to act once they get answers.

...

Meanwhile.

Ming Yun appeared, extremely disheveled, in a vast unknown chaos, reflecting on how far he had fled, murmuring, ”I should have shaken them off, right?”

Actually, he wasn’t very confident about that. Previously, he exhausted every means without shaking off their pursuit. Could a Chaotic Storm truly make him safe?

So he didn’t stop but continued flying in a certain direction, trying to escape as far as possible before the pill’s effect faded.

...

The flowers bloom in two branches, each showcasing its beauty.

At this moment, Li Zhirui was walking in The Void with Qing Si, continuing his training journey.

However, probably due to a recent refining Gu experience that caused heavy casualties to the Chaotic Fierce Beasts, their chances of encountering Fierce Beasts were significantly reduced.

During this time, they discovered a Fierce Beast.

Moreover, its strength was quite formidable, and after a fierce battle, Li Zhirui was not its match and had to choose to flee to narrowly escape disaster.

”Alas! I didn’t expect the training in The Void to become exceptionally difficult.” He sighed helplessly.

Qing Si was understanding and comforted, ”Jiu, isn’t this a normal development? With the elevation of Realm and cultivation, training conditions also become higher and more dangerous.”

”Indeed...”

So, the deeper one’s cultivation in the Realm, the more crucial comprehension and opportunities become, whereas training and combat methods gradually lose effectiveness.

Yet, in the next instant, Li Zhirui crushed all these negative emotions before they could affect his Mental State.

At present, he didn’t need to consider such matters; only a Golden Immortal would ponder them.

Time silently passed by unnoticed.

Li Zhirui and Qing Si experienced a tranquil Void Chaos journey, during which they obtained few Spiritual Objects.

However, he used this time to comprehend various Methods from the previous encounter with Profound Immortal Ming Yu, mainly to broaden his horizons and see if there were any Methods or certain Cultivation Techniques useful to him.

Regarding this matter, Li Zhirui’s harvest was relatively abundant.

For instance, he mastered the Pill Recipe for the Immortal Ascension Pill, initially attracted by its effects.

Being able to instantly suppress all injuries and fully restore one’s state was extremely tempting.

After all, anyone might encounter a dire life-or-death situation, and taking an Immortal Ascension Pill at that moment could save one’s life!

As for the negative effects, he could understand them.

As an Alchemist, naturally, he was eager to master this Pill Recipe.

If the negative effects could be mitigated or entirely resolved, the value of the Immortal Ascension Pill would be unparalleled!

Therefore, Li Zhirui spent some time theoretically mastering the refining method for the Immortal Ascension Pill.

But without Spiritual Objects, even the most resourceful cook can’t prepare without ingredients. He had no way to experiment with refining.

As for substituting other Spiritual Objects? It was indeed a good idea; he had considered it.

However, he only knew the names of those Spiritual Objects, knowing nothing about their effects or properties, so how could he use other Spiritual Objects as substitutes?

So he had to temporarily abandon the idea, waiting for future opportunities to gather those Spiritual Objects.

Boom—

Suddenly, a terrifying explosion sounded ahead, jolting Li Zhirui from his thoughts.

Judging by the Spiritual Energy fluctuations, it definitely wasn’t something that two Profound Immortals could cause, unless they were at the pinnacle of Profound Immortals.

”Jiu, should we go take a look?” Qing Si was somewhat eager; past benefits made him keen to reap the fishermen’s gains.

Li Zhirui seriously contemplated for a moment and shook his head, saying, ”Better not. This battle looks complicated; it’s best not to get mixed up in this chaos.”

”Alright.” Qing Si had no choice but to agree reluctantly, as he wasn’t the one deciding.

Then, the two flew in another direction.

But some things can’t be avoided just by sidestepping them.

”Damn it!”

While training in another chaos region, Li Zhirui suddenly detected a Spirit Light flying from afar, carrying a person, approaching them increasingly, unable to help but curse softly.

His least wanted situation had occurred; trouble had found its way to him!

Upon seeing who it was, he grew even more annoyed.

He only did a transaction with the person, yet he got entangled again?

The Spirit Light contained none other than Ming Yun, whom he had once encountered.

Actually, from the first encounter, Li Zhirui guessed that the injuries on him weren’t caused by a Chaotic Fierce Beast, but by fellow cultivators.

Thus, there was a high possibility he was being chased again, which was why Li Zhirui decided to leave, avoiding trouble.

This method was initially effective, but who could have guessed they’d meet again with immense trouble?

”Fellow Daoist, please save me and preserve my life.” Ming Yun didn’t expect to encounter Li Zhirui; after the shock, came excited joy.

However, after thinking, his expression froze, turning stiff instantly. He was merely in the early stage of Profound Immortal, while Zhang Daotong and the others numbered three, and they surpassed him in both Realm and cultivation.

Thus, encountering this person didn’t mean he was safe, and it might even implicate them.

Nevertheless, facing a life-threatening situation now, Ming Yun couldn’t afford to worry about that much.

”Get lost!”

Li Zhirui produced a long stick, pointing at the approaching Ming Yun, unwilling to have much contact with him, hoping to directly drive him away.

”As long as Fellow Daoist is willing to save me, I am willing to share the location of the Tao Spirit Realm!”

Standing outside the attack range of the long stick, Ming Yun spoke sincerely, full of pleadings in his eyes, ”The Tao Spirit Realm is a Great Thousand World at the Golden Immortal Rank, rich in cultivation resources, complete Heavenly Dao Laws, very suitable for Fellow Daoist’s training.”

Li Zhirui was moved at heart; if the Tao Spirit Realm were truly as described, it would indeed be an excellent place for training.

But...

He hesitated, as he already knew that Ming Yun was being chased by three Profound Immortals, all stronger than him in Realm and cultivation.

Facing such a powerful lineup, he was simply not their match!

”Jiu, the space...” Qing Si, sensing Li Zhirui’s wavering intent to save the person and learn the location of the Tao Spirit Realm, softly reminded him.

Indeed!

Suddenly, a Spirit Light flashed in Li Zhirui’s mind, coming up with a perfect solution.

”If you take this Pill, I guarantee your safety.”

He then offered a pure white Spirit Pill to Ming Yun.

It wasn’t a healing or rejuvenating Pill; it had only one effect—inducing a long period of unconsciousness in the person taking it!

Once Ming Yun ingested the Pill and fell into deep unconsciousness, Li Zhirui could bring him into the space, preserving his life.

Meanwhile, Zhang Daotong and his companions were less than a thousand miles away; catching up would only take moments.
