15: Cultivating immortals is not about fighting and killing

The Pill Furnace and the Foundation Establishment Pill Pill Formula were both very valuable; among all the items, only the True Fire Charcoal and the Medicinal Pill Materials were slightly cheaper.

Qin Feng bought thirty sets of Materials for refining Foundation Establishment Pills, twenty Fire Snake Talismans, and exchanged for a Huang Class Middle Grade qiankun bag with slightly more space.

The total cost came to more than 36,000 Spirit Stones!

Not only did it drain his savings, but even the Medicinal Pills synthesized from the discarded Medicinal Pills that Tie Zhu had helped him steal before were all spent...

When he left Qinghe Town.

Qin Feng hummed a little tune contentedly.

He might seem impoverished now, but refining thirty sets of Foundation Establishment Pill Materials would yield at least a hundred discarded Medicinal Pills.

After being synthesized by his heaven-defying methods, it would become a massive fortune in the near future!

Since his elder sister was not home, Qin Feng simply did not return home and went directly to his Immortal Cave.

Upon arriving, Qin Feng was instantly dumbfounded.

He saw that a new opening had been chiseled into the stone wall next to his Immortal Cave, roughly forming the prototype of a three-bedroom, one-living-room dwelling inside.

At this moment, Tie Zhu was lie on the entrance, studying something; upon seeing Qin Feng return, he immediately came over with something in his hand.

As he got closer, Qin Feng could clearly see that he was holding a piece of sheepskin with a needle-punched pattern on it.

"Feng Ge, can you help me see if this map is real?"

Tie Zhu held the sheepskin, looking confused as he asked Qin Feng for guidance, because when he was in private school, this guy liked to go dig for bird eggs, and all the characters he knew were taught by Qin Feng...

The map only had six large characters: Jinming Mountain, Shun Tian Mansion; besides that, there were many strange patterns that Qin Feng could not understand either.

"It's most likely real, what kind of map is this?"

"My dead Master said this is the place where a Golden Core Stage Evil Cultivator passed away, and it hides many good things. How about we go after a while?"

"With our current Cultivation, any random trap could kill us, not to mention other people. Let's talk about it later."

Qin Feng rolled his eyes, then pointed to the three-bedroom, one-living-room next to them and asked, "Are you planning to live here permanently?"

Tie Zhu grinned, revealing his sharp fangs, and said with a smile:

"I don't know where else to go besides here. If you move in the future, remember to call me. I'll follow you my whole life."

"..."

Back inside the Immortal Cave.

Qin Feng directly merged the four Corpse Refining Arts, four into two, and two into one.

"Polar Corpse Emperor Art: To use the corpse as Dao, Cultivate at astonishing speed, requiring the absorption of Evil Qi, Yin Qi, turbid Qi, and miasma to gather within the body, restraining all Yin objects..."

After Fusion, the Polar Corpse Emperor Art, whether in Cultivation method or wickedness, was infinitely stronger than the Yin Corpse Art.

Most importantly, its Cultivation speed was fast, no less than Qin Feng's current Five Emperors Qi Guiding Art.

After handing the fused Cultivation Technique to Tie Zhu, Qin Feng returned to his Immortal Cave and began to Cultivate in seclusion again.

The Cultivation speed of the Five Emperors Qi Guiding Art was already fast, and with the Advanced Spirit Gathering Array's enhancement, Qin Feng's Cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds.

To solve the Spirit Stone expenditure problem, Qin Feng would also set up his Pill Furnace and attempt Alchemy during his leisure time.

However, at first, he lacked experience, and all the Medicinal Materials were burned to ashes, not even leaving behind discarded Medicinal Pills...

Two months passed in the blink of an eye.

Qin Feng's Cultivation finally broke through to Qi Refinement Stage Layer Five.

Within his Qi Sea, five different colored spiritual powers slowly rotated, abundant in spiritual energy.

As he slightly stretched his body, his bones crackled, and Qin Feng felt a refreshing sense of clarity.

As his Cultivation Breakthrough, his body also became stronger!

He felt that he could now easily punch a cow to death!

Just as Qin Feng was about to leave the Immortal Cave to breathe fresh air, a sudden explosion rang out from outside Tie Zhu's Immortal Cave next door!

After the explosion, there were many angry curses.

"You rat! You harmed my Senior Brother and Senior Sister, and you still dare to build an Immortal Cave here? Come out quickly and face your death!"

"If you don't show yourself within three breaths, don't blame us for collapsing your dog hole!"

...

Qin Feng walked to the entrance of his Immortal Cave and looked out through the Mystic Trace Formation.

He saw a group of young Cultivators, dressed in various ways, blocking Tie Zhu's Immortal Cave with Killing Intent.

Behind them stood an old man with white hair and a goatee, serving as an enforcer.

The old man's gaze was gloomy, and he exuded an extremely strong aura; Qin Feng could tell at a glance that this old man was extraordinary.

He had at least the strength of Qi Refinement Stage Layer Six!

Seemingly sensing someone watching him, the white-haired old man immediately turned his head, but could only see a stone wall, and he couldn't help but utter a sound of confusion.

It was clearly empty, yet why did he feel as if he was being watched?

Before he could think further, bursts of black smoke suddenly emerged from within the cave!

"You trespassers on this venerable one's Immortal Cave, you seek death!"

Tie Zhu's figure instantly appeared at the entrance of the Immortal Cave; his eyes glowed with purple light, his fangs subtly extended and retracted in his mouth, and his ink-black long hair danced behind him.

Just standing at the entrance, the black Qi around him seemed to be alive, spreading everywhere.

The young Cultivators standing in front were greatly alarmed at this sight and immediately retreated behind the white-haired old man.

"You... you are an Evil Cultivator, you're dead!"

"My Revered Master won't let you off!"

...

The young Cultivators clamored, and the white-haired old man's expression slightly changed; he immediately cupped his fists towards Tie Zhu and said:

"Fellow Daoist Qin Feng, how have you been?"

"What did you call me?"

"Fellow Daoist Qin Feng... Venerable Qin?"

The white-haired old man looked confused, while Tie Zhu frowned and remained silent.

Pfft!

Inside the Mystic Trace Formation nearby, Qin Feng almost burst out laughing at this scene.

This group of people was most likely Zhao Kang's sect; two Disciples had been killed consecutively, and now they had come looking for trouble.

They had found the right place, but they were crying at the wrong grave!

Seeing that their Master had no intention of acting, the group of young Cultivators immediately grew impatient.

"Master, he's an Evil Cultivator!"

"Good and evil are irreconcilable, Master, quickly act and eliminate this Devil Head!"

The white-haired old man glared at them, then said with a fawning smile to Tie Zhu:

"My Disciples are young and impetuous and don't know any better, Fellow Daoist Qin, please don't take offense. This old man came today to ask if Fellow Daoist Qin has seen my Rebellious Disciple Zhao Kang and Chen Ling?"

"I've seen them, I killed them, so what?"

Tie Zhu stared at the old man with a gloomy gaze, his voice hoarse like thousands of ghosts roaring.

..."These two have long oppressed the common people and committed many evil deeds in Qinghe Town. Fellow Daoist Qin's elimination of them can be considered as clearing my sect, and this old man, Bai Weng, is immensely grateful!"

"Farewell!"

Old man Bai Weng cupped his fists again, then turned and left without looking back.

Only after everyone had left did Tie Zhu retract the black smoke and sit at the entrance of the Immortal Cave, looking dejectedly in Qin Feng's direction.

"Feng Ge, why didn't you come out just now? If we teamed up, we could definitely have kept all of them here."

Qin Feng walked out from the Mystic Trace Formation, covering his stomach with a smile, and cupped his fists in imitation of old man Bai Weng:

"Fellow Daoist Qin, why are you so angry?"

"Sigh, I even have to take the blame for this, how unlucky!"

Tie Zhu sighed helplessly, then pulled out a dark red qiankun bag from his Pregnant and tossed it into Qin Feng's hand.

A few days ago, when he went hunting in the mountains, he encountered a female corpse that had been gnawed beyond recognition by wild wolves. At the time, he found it strange, who would kill someone and not take the items on the body?

Now he finally understood...

However, Tie Zhu was still bothered by the group of people from just now; the duck that was delivered to his mouth just flew away like that.

"Tie Zhu, you need to remember some things.

Cultivating Immortality, while not entirely about human relations, is certainly not just about fighting and killing. Everyone's Cultivation is not easy; sometimes there's no need to fight to the death, but you must always be wary of others. Later, I'll go help you set up two Formations."

After saying that, Qin Feng headed straight for Qinghe Town, leaving Tie Zhu sitting at the Immortal Cave entrance, lost in thought.

"Cultivating Immortality isn't about fighting and killing? Then what is it?"

Tie Zhu propped his chin with one hand, repeatedly pondering the meaning of this sentence...
