Today, after taking the Nine-Transformation Red Phoenix Pill, Wei Dongliu's cultivation level has been increased to an exaggerated 620 years through the Purple Palace Secret Medicine.

There are only 180 years left to reach the 800-year threshold for the first-grade golden elixir.

The reason why his cultivation progressed so quickly was because he maintained multiple personalities at the same time. Each persona had matured in their respective sects and had their own network of connections, searching the world for the whereabouts of the Purple Mansion secret medicine and secret realm.

However, he forgot that Guo Jin and Wang Xun were at the level of ordinary cultivators in this world.

What should I do if my cultivation progress is too slow?

There are neither the resources for cultivation to improve the realm of strength, nor the strength to search for resources for cultivation. In this situation where two negatives cannot bring out the positive, there is nothing that can be done. In the end, one can only breathe and refine Qi step by step, day after day, night after night.

Occasionally, when we talk about the chosen ones of some big and powerful sect, we are either envious or jealous. In the end, we can only sigh that life is impermanent, and we are numb to the point of being incoherent.

After leaving the stone house, Wei Dongliu saw Witch Jiang napping in a rocking chair by the pond, Wen Yang tending to the flowers and plants in the garden by the tree, and A Ling standing beside him giving instructions.

The Flying Yaksha brought back from the White Bone Temple was sitting alone in a dark valley in the distance, picking his nails out of boredom.

It's fine if it's the Flying Night Demon, but why are all of you, the expatriate monks, gathered here? Are you using my dignified Tongxuan Sect's resident place to hold a party?

Wei Dongliu was about to get angry, but suddenly he reacted, huh?

Isn’t the person next to Wen Yang the Tujia girl who led Ling Yunpo and An Zhisu last time?

"Ah, Fellow Daoist Wei is here." Jiang Li'an, who had been pretending to be asleep, opened his eyes, jumped down from the rocking chair, and said with a smile, "How is your teaching going?"

Wei Dongliu didn't bother to get angry with her because of her familiar attitude, so he said calmly:

"It's still too slow and dragging."

"That can't be helped." Witch Jiang blinked and said softly, "With their talents, this rate of improvement is already the limit. If they want to become stronger faster, they will need external aids."

"Indeed." Wei Dongliu did not comment.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, Fellow Daoist Long, I have been training outside recently and have managed to obtain a batch of medicinal herbs." Wen Yang also turned around and said with a smile, "If we bring them back to the sect's residence, they will definitely be stolen and divided up by our fellow disciples, so we are borrowing Fellow Daoist Wei's territory to cultivate them temporarily."

"Once the elixir is refined, I will naturally give a portion to Fellow Daoist Wei."

Wei Dongliu waved his hand, indicating that you can do as you please, since these places are empty anyway.

"Fellow Daoist Long? Are you Long Xiaoqi?" He suddenly exclaimed and looked at the girl A Ling.

"Daoyou Wei." Ah Ling bowed and smiled, "I am actually practicing a secret technique. For a period of time every year, I appear as a young girl, and for another period of time, I appear as a little girl. I hope you haven't forgotten me."

"So that's how it is." Wei Dongliu realized that the A Ling in front of him was the girl form of Long Xiaoqi.

There are all kinds of strange things in the world. Although Wei Dongliu had never seen this magical secret method that could allow a person to jump back and forth between the death penalty and a fixed-term imprisonment, there was no need to make a fuss.

With his flexible thinking, he quickly connected the many clues together and soon realized that when Long Xiaoqi led everyone to explore the secret realm, he must have intended to send them into a trap.

Maybe, the crazy swordsman who was chasing Ling Yunpo and An Zhisu to kill him was lured by Long Xiaoqi!

Very good, although I, Wei Dongliu, cannot attack you, but if Ling Yunpo meets you in the future, recognizes you and takes revenge on you, it will have nothing to do with me.

"Fellow Daoist Wen," Wei Dongliu suddenly asked, "Can the herbs here be refined into a pill that can speed up the filling of the Qi Sea?"

"There are no pills that can fill up the sea of ​​qi, but there are some that can speed up the breathing and refining of qi." Wen Yang replied, "If you want to skip the Qi Refining stage, you need to replenish a large amount of heaven and earth spiritual energy at once, which is impossible with pills."

"But I heard that there is a secret realm in the Heavenly Demonic Dao that allows cultivators to directly enter the Marrow Cleansing Stage. Fellow Daoist Wei can ask about it."

"Don't mention it." Jiang Li'an sighed and said, "Although being initiated by the devil in that secret realm can save you forty or fifty years of hard training, it is said that the price is also endless. That's why none of my master's sisters have ever been there."

"Besides, Fellow Daoist Wei's disciples are not from our Heavenly Demonic Dao, so I guess they can't go to that secret realm."

"I see." Wei Dongliu was not surprised and continued, "Fellow Daoist Wen, does your sect have any extra Nine Nether Yin Soul Stones?"

"Nine Nether Yin Soul Stone?" Wen Yang asked in surprise, "This item is used by ghost cultivators to practice Taoism. What do you want to use it for, Brother Wei? There are definitely no extra ones, but I know a mine. I can take Brother Wei to look for it. Maybe we can get something."

"I'm not from the Yin Gui Dao, so is it okay?" Wei Dongliu asked indifferently.

"Hey, the mine is only guarded by mortal stewards, so it's fine." Wen Yang laughed and said, "According to the rules of the Yin Gui Dao, every Nine Nether Yin Soul Stone mined in the mine needs to be clearly registered. But if it's not excavated and buried in the ground, who would know if we go to take it?"

"In that case, I'll join in the fun." Witch Jiang said with a smile immediately.

"What are you going to do? You also want the Nine Nether Yin Soul Stone?" Wen Yang asked with a frown, looking somewhat displeased.

He was naturally reassured about taking the risk of taking Wei Dongliu with him, but taking Witch Jiang with him was another matter.

The latter's unpredictable thinking and daring personality... Personal relationships are personal relationships, and Wen Yang doesn't want to have anything to do with her in the sect's major affairs.

"Hey, Brother Wei can go, why can't I?" Witch Jiang saw what he was worried about, and immediately said indignantly, "You and I have known each other for such a long time, but you are still not as kind as Brother Wei? Xiao Qi, don't you think so!"

"That's right!" Long Xiaoqi giggled. It was obvious that in her young girl form she was also a person who was eager to cause chaos in the world, which was completely different from her indifferent and lazy little girl form.

"Ahem." Wen Yang felt a little headache, so he looked at Wei Dongliu and said, "Daoyou Wei, this trip is for you. If you are willing to take the two of them with you, I have no objection."

Although they verbally say "I don't have any opinion", what they really mean is "If they cause any trouble, you will be responsible for it." This is a typical insidious cult tactic.

Wei Dongliu thought for a moment and nodded.

The reason is very simple. His mysterious character needs to give people the image of "unfathomable strength".

If Jiang Li'an and Long Xiaoqi are rejected in this way, although there will not be any major negative impact, it will ultimately be detrimental to the subsequent character development.

Besides, this trip is not to some secret place, but just to a mine controlled by the Yin Guidao. It should be fine, right?

For some reason, Wei Dongliu suddenly remembered that when he was Qiu Changtian, he seemed to have encountered an enemy in a mine.

Well, it shouldn't be such a coincidence.

"Yaksha." He called out to the distance, "We are going out for a while, you come with me."

"Okay, master." Flying Yaksha stood up with a smile.

Although he called him master, Wei Dongliu knew that the other party was just a temporary measure and had many evil intentions in mind. Therefore, he did not dare to leave him in the sect and could only carry him with him.
