A streak of Black and White Flowing Spirit Light flashed across the sky, leaving long white trails, like Divine Dragon soaring through the clouds.

Within the spiritual light, a human figure could be faintly seen.

This man Cheng Buzheng, who had just left his hometown.

now.

Cheng Buzheng looked down at the smooth, transparent light barrier, where mountains and earth seemed to recede into the distance.

Images kept flashing through his mind...

A dozen or so years ago, right after I was reincarnated...

That night, he heard his parents sighing and decided to use all the family's money to hire a shaman...

He lay weakly in bed, and his extremely strong-willed mother carefully fed him little by little, without the slightest impatience, only endless tenderness...

He used to have a sweet tooth, so he suggested stealing a hen from the neighbor's house. He, his older brother, and Little Sister then proceeded to feast on it. Somehow, the trail led back to his family, and in the end, his older brother took the blame and got beaten up for him...

In the days leading up to my departure for the Medicine Hall, my parents barely slept, constantly worrying about whether I would be bullied, sometimes staying up all night worrying...

···

He vividly remembered the look of reluctance in his parents' eyes when they parted last time, yet they didn't ask him to stay and accompany them. Instead, for his future, they silently endured the pain of separation...

Scenes flashed through Cheng Buzheng's mind...

"How can one find a way to have it all, to be true to both Buddha and to my beloved!"

Cheng Buzheng sighed softly.

He knew that this departure would mean he would rarely see his family again, and that this might be the end of his life.

He also knew that ever since his Spirit Root were discovered, the path he had taken was completely different from that of ordinary people.

On the path of cultivation, fortune and misfortune are unpredictable, but he has never regretted his choice.

If my Spirit Root hadn't been detected back then, and I had no chance to become an immortal, I might be spending this life observing filial piety at my parents' bedside.

He could also imagine his parents' reaction at that moment.

"Mother, you should have seen the letter you left behind by now!"

I guess I should wake up my older brother now and read the letter to her. Mother will probably be scolding me for being heartless while wiping away her tears.

My father is kind and honest; he probably wouldn't resort to verbal abuse like my mother!

At most, he'll just sigh.

"As for the book < Five Elements Art >, it is a legacy he left to his family. If any future generations have Spirit Root, this will be a key for them to unlock the door to immortality!"

It's not like I did back then, having to scheme and take risks just to have a chance to participate in the selection of immortal disciples!

That bottle of Bone-Shedding Pill was a special Spirit Pill refined by Cheng Buzheng.

Although it is intended for ordinary people, it is still First-Tier Superior-Grade Spirit Pill. The main spirit medicine used are no less than those of the Azure Cloud Pill. One of the main ingredients is the Blood Treasure Grass, which is one of the rare spirit medicine used to refine Foundation Establishment spirit medicine.

Even Golden Core Stage cultivator wouldn't be so extravagant as to refine such a precious spirit medicine into Bone-Shedding Pill for mortals to consume.

Even with the closest of relatives, this applies.

At most, they only get low-grade Demonic Beast Meat at every meal.

As for low-grade Demonic Beast Meat, even if mortals ate it every day, it would at most regulate their bodies and slightly increase their lifespan.

However, the Bone-Shedding Pill is a miraculous Spirit Pill that defies the laws of nature. As long as a mortal who takes this pill does not encounter any calamities, he or she can live to the limit of a mortal's lifespan.

A full hundred years.

Even a normal Bone-Shedding Pill wouldn't have such miraculous effects. This Pill Formula has undergone Cheng Buzheng, which is why it possesses such miraculous efficacy.

Ordinary Bone-Shedding Pill do not require such a precious spirit medicine as Blood Treasure Grass.

As for the remaining elixirs, Cheng Buzheng worried. The two elders were reluctant to take them themselves and instead passed them down to their descendants.

In his letter, he wrote, "When I return, I will surely observe mourning at your bedside."

This statement was precisely a trap set to prevent the two elders from taking the elixir, out of concern that they might be reluctant to do so.

Although that was the intention, it was also a true reflection of Cheng Buzheng's inner thoughts, but he knew that this hope was almost impossible to realize.

Knowing her mother's personality, she certainly wouldn't hesitate to take the pill.

As for his father... he wasn't worried. With his mother around, he couldn't cause any trouble.

Thinking of this, Cheng Buzheng's lips curled up into a knowing smile.

He could picture the somewhat funny, yet heartwarming scene.

Unbeknownst to him, Cheng Buzheng had already arrived outside the White Cloud Mountain Range.

suddenly.

The Black and White Flowing Spirit Light paused.

Immediately afterwards, a stern-faced cultivator walked towards White Cloud City.

Cheng Buzheng's storage bag contained three spirit medicine, spirit medicine of which were used to refine Foundation Establishment spirit medicine.

The main medicinal herb is the Soul Protecting Grass, and the other two auxiliary spirit medicine are the White Sun Fruit and the Blood Essence Grass.

At this moment, Cheng Buzheng had no Spirit Stone left in his storage bag.

Once you reach the Endless Sea, you can't move an inch without Spirit Stone; you need Spirit Stone to do anything.

In order to deduce Cultivation Method, Law Technique, Treasure Restriction, Array Patterns, Pill Formula, I have sold almost all the spiritual items in my storage bag that I could sell. Now I don't even have a single Treasure Tool left.

The only thing that can be converted into cash now is spirit medicine. Most of these spirit medicine are still usable, but the only ones that are not are the ones used to refine Foundation Establishment spirit medicine.

Before.

He considered leaving the three spirit medicine behind, but taking into account the prosperity of the Endless Sea...

Therefore, before heading to the Endless Sea, Cheng Buzheng disposed of all the spiritual items in exchange for Spirit Stone, thus traveling light.

After all, Spirit Stone are a hard currency no matter where you are.

Immediately.

Cheng Buzheng used his Divine Form Transformation to transform into an ordinary-looking cultivator and walked towards the Treasure Pagoda.

Not long after.

When Cheng Buzheng came out again, his storage bag contained more than 7,200 Spirit Stone.

The Soul Protecting Grass was the most expensive, selling for a full 3,100 Spirit Stone, while the White Sun Fruit and Blood Essence Grass sold for over 2,000 Spirit Stone each.

This clearly demonstrates the significant gap between the so-called market price of Foundation Establishment and their actual price.

This is just three of the eight spirit medicine used to refine the Foundation Establishment, not even considering the other auxiliary herbs; it's just these three spirit medicine alone.

One can imagine just how large the so-called potential for added value really is.

At the same time.

Cheng Buzheng's true form also entered White Cloud City.

In a secluded alley, the two quietly completed the handover as they passed each other.

Immediately, the main body headed directly towards the entrance and exit of White Cloud City.

Meanwhile, the Treasure-Class No. 1 Puppet ) headed towards the Earth Fire Chamber, continuing to work hard to earn Spirit Stone, contributing to the main body's Great Cause of Longevity, burning itself to illuminate the main body's Immortal Path.

After he left the flight restriction area of White Cloud City, he transformed into a streak of Black and White Flowing Spirit Light and flew away into the distance.

A streak of light flashed across the White Cloud Mountain Range.

After a long while, Cheng Buzheng arrived at the sect's Great Array.

After entering the Great Array, he flew directly to a certain location.

A short while later.

Cheng Buzheng gazed at the white clouds shrouding the land not far away, a vast expanse of white, from which no scene could be seen.

Immediately after activating the formation, he transformed into a ray of light and disappeared into the underground Secret Chamber.

Cheng Buzheng sat cross-legged on the Jade Bed, took out a Azure Cloud Pill, and swallowed it.

Then, he closed his eyes and began to circulate Celestial Cycle energy. Countless visible spiritual energies emerged from the Spirit Vein nodes under the bed and gathered towards Cheng Buzheng.

Less than two breaths.

A Light Cocoon enveloped Cheng Buzheng, instantly absorbing a large amount of spiritual energy into his body. With each circulation of his Cultivation Method, a continuous surge of spiritual energy would form another Light Cocoon.

It goes on and on, endlessly!
