The Immortal Church's Treasure

"Senior Sister, you're back?" Hearing his senior sister call out to him, Lu Yang happily returned to Heaven Gate Peak.

The senior sister remained aloof. "Yes, I went to the palace to discuss some matters and just returned. I heard you've reached the Foundation Establishment Late Stage."

Lu Yang thought to himself that it must have been the puppet that told his senior sister.

The senior sister glanced at Lu Yang, as if she could see right through him. "Now that you've reached the Foundation Establishment Late Stage, the next step should be to plan how to form your core."

"The Golden Core stage is of paramount importance to cultivators. In the most ancient times, before flying boats existed, the Golden Core stage allowed cultivators to fly freely in the sky. Some people regarded the Golden Core stage as the watershed between immortals and mortals, while others called the Golden Core the 'Golden Core Path,' which shows the status of this realm."

"If it is a high-grade Core Formation, then breaking the Core into an Infant is a natural and effortless process."

"Of course, as someone with Sword Spirit Root and exceptional talent, forming a first-grade Golden Core is not difficult for you. What you need to consider is what type of first-grade Golden Core to form."

"The number of disciples in our sect who have achieved the Golden Core stage is countless, and they are all recorded in the Scripture Depository. You can go there to browse through the Scripture Depository and find inspiration."

"Yes."

"And this, take it, it will be helpful to you." Before leaving, the senior sister took out a small medicine bottle.

"What is this?" Lu Yang wondered. Could it be a pill that would prevent damage to his foundation if he failed to form his core, or even a celestial pill that guaranteed his core to be of the highest grade?

As expected of the senior sister, she can even get her hands on such good stuff.

"Eye drops, use a couple after reading too much."

"..."

"Thank you for your concern, Senior Sister."

"Excuse me, senior, please come out for a moment." The eldest sister called out to the Immortal Fairy.

"What's wrong?" The Immortal Fairy was a little nervous and began to quickly think about whether she had done something wrong.

I've been behaving myself lately and haven't caused Lu Yang any trouble. At most, I've been sleeping while he's cultivating.

The eldest sister took out a large pile of celestial treasures, each with a different shape and radiating a celestial aura, clearly not ordinary objects.

"These are immortal treasures seized from the Immortal Sect. Is there anything you'd like, senior?" The senior sister wanted to return them to their rightful owner.

The immortal fairy glanced at it, then pursed her lips. "There's nothing I want."

"Senior, what is this?" The eldest sister picked up a bamboo needle. There were many things in the immortal treasures that even the eldest sister didn't know what their original purpose was. She and the Great Xia Dynasty had studied them for a long time but still couldn't figure them out. Now it was a good time to ask the original owner.

This bamboo needle can be easily activated by thought, moves extremely fast, and can break through defenses, making it the king of hidden weapons.

"Toothpick."

"What about this?" The eldest sister picked up an iron rod. After examination, the rod was found to be coated with highly poisonous substances, including High Antiquity poisons that had been lost for a long time and were only recorded in ancient books, as well as poisons whose pharmacological composition was incomprehensible.

Scholars of the Great Xia Dynasty deduced that this must have been a stirring rod used by High Antiquity immortals when they were refining poisons, which caused it to become what it is today due to long-term contact with various poisons.

"Chopsticks."

"What about this?" The eldest sister lifted the lid of a water vat, and a pungent smell hit her. The vat was filled with black liquid, which seemed to be brewing countless wronged souls.

"Oh, oh, oh, it's the vinegar I brewed. I didn't expect the Immortal Cult to still have such a treasure. Can you return it to me?"

After a moment's hesitation, the eldest sister declined the Immortal Fairy's request for safety reasons.

"You broke your promise!" The Immortal Fairy scolded her senior sister, hands on her hips.

The eldest sister ignored her.

"What's this for?" the eldest sister asked, pointing to the cloth that was nine zhang long and nine zhang wide.

According to the high-ranking members of the Immortal Cult, this cloth contains spatial power and can envelop everything, even living people. If someone stands on the cloth, even if it's just a matter of a few steps, they will not be able to leave the cloth's range no matter how much Law Power they use to move.

"The bed sheet, after I refined it, has replaced the mattress. When I sleep, no matter how much I roll around in bed, I won't fall off."

"I don't have a physical body now, so this thing is useless to me. You can keep it."

"And this?" The eldest sister took out a round plate.

This disc is made of hard, indestructible material. Some scholars speculate that it is a High Antiquity shield, only smaller. Others speculate that if activated properly, it can appear above an enemy's head and immobilize them.

"My specially made plates," the Immortal Fairy complained. "The plates we had back then weren't very good quality and leaked easily, so I specially crafted a set myself."

After asking around, Lu Yang discovered that the so-called immortal treasures of the Immortal Sect were actually just everyday items belonging to the Immortal Fairies.

It can only be said that these are indeed items belonging to immortals, all possessing miraculous properties. For example, the wooden bucket that can hold thousands of miles of rivers is her swimming pool, and the Yellow Millet Pillow is still treasured and revered by the Grand Elder.

"Grilled skewers, freshly grilled skewers, so smooth and tender!"

"Exclusive formula, guaranteed to be addictive!"

"Eat one skewer and you'll want two, eat two and you'll want ten!"

In the Ask Dao Sect commercial district, loud shouts echoed through the streets, and the aroma of barbecue lingered in the air, attracting many people to come and enjoy the food.

As night fell, the disciples of the Ask Dao Sect, who had been busy all day, loved to rest, shop, and exchange cultivation insights here.

Just as the hawker's cry says, the skewers at "One More Skewer" barbecue restaurant are unique, and many customers who come to eat there on the first night want to come back for more on the second night.

Some suspected that the barbecue restaurant had added an addictive poison, but after verification by the Seventh Elder of Elixir Cauldron Peak, it was confirmed that the food was simply delicious and not poisoned.

Three men in black robes, wearing hoods, stood blankly in front of the barbecue restaurant, momentarily lost in thought. The bustling scene before them seemed unattainable, and the passing customers became blurred.

One of the men in black robes removed his hood, saw the bustling barbecue restaurant, and exclaimed:

"Xiao Liu, Xiao Gao, are you still alive?"

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Mr. Liu and Mr. Gao froze, thinking they were hallucinating.

They looked up and saw the owner of the voice, his face filled with disbelief.

"The leader?!"

"And me." The second man in black robes lifted his hood; it was Vice Leader Jin.

At this moment, the highest levels of the Immortal Cult—one cult leader and three vice cult leaders—gathered here.

They were once prominent figures, wielding absolute power in one of the four great demonic sects, but now they can only gather at a barbecue stall.

The leader never believed that the fall of the Immortal Cult was the responsibility of the two vice leaders, Liu and Gao. He believed that he himself was the one who let the wolf into the house, and he had no one else to blame.

"Please have a seat, we'll close up shop after we finish these few orders."

There was still a long queue in front of the shop. Master Liu and Master Gao told the people behind them not to queue anymore, as they would bake five more orders before closing up shop.

The cult leader noticed that the waiter wiping the table and tidying up the skewer was an elder of the cult. He shook his head slightly, feeling a mix of emotions.

After selling their last order, Master Liu and Master Gao announced the end of their business, closed the shop, and caught up with the cult leader.

How did you get here?

Only a small group of people knew about the destruction of the Immortal Cult. Master Liu and Master Gao were just ordinary barbecue restaurant owners here, unaware of what was happening outside.

"It's a long story—" the cult leader sighed, expressing his helplessness.

He recounted in detail how Lu Yang and his two companions infiltrated the Immortal Cult headquarters and how the Immortal Cult was surrounded by the Great Xia Dynasty.

The news of the Immortal Cult's destruction was too heavy. After a moment of silence, Master Liu acknowledged the fact that the Immortal Cult had been destroyed and quickly cheered up.

"It's fortunate that you've come. Now that the Ask Dao Sect is divided into many factions, it's the perfect time to put our skills to use. We were just worried about not having enough manpower, and here you are!" Master Liu looked intently at the Sect Leader and Vice Sect Leader Jin.

The cult leader's eyes lit up.
