The Desire to Be Eternal

Chapter 101: Waterswamp Kingdom and Protomagnetic Wings!

The peak ruler of Sunset Peak took out a cold harrumph and waved his right arm. Instantly, a powerful force descended upon the quivering Sunset Peak disciple. To them, it felt like a mountain was destroying them, provoking a scream of pain.

The Beihan brothers felt greater pressure than the others. Their faces twisted in pain as their cultivation bases trembled. Although their hatred for Bai Xiaochun surged, they could not let all of that appear on their faces.

"Many of you better get back to the north bank this instant! Go into secluded meditation and don't go out for ten years! " Even though the peak ruler of Sunset Peak was the one who took action, this was a disciple from his mountain peak, so he actually protected them to some extent. Although he seemed to be acting rude, he was actually sympathetic to their cause. With a wave of sleeves, he caused a strong wind to appear which swept the Sunset Peak disciples into the distance.

Looking back at Bai Xiaochun, he stuck another smile onto his face and slowly said, "Xiaochun, can you remember now?"

Bai Xiaochun knew that he should not push too far. Many things had gone well for him, so he cleared his throat.

"Ha ha ha! There is no need for any of this, Elder Brother. As a Prestige student, and Young Brother of the sect leader, how could I lower myself to the same level as the rude Seph Nephews? A bunch of bad and naughty kids. ” The way Bai Xiaochun acted as if he was truly of the same generation as her caused the peak ruler of Sunset Peak to grimace inward. From the side, Zheng Yuandong cleared his throat, and once again wished he could take back his impulsive decision from years before.

Bai Xiaochun ignored the strange gaze and puffed out his chest. Suppressing a feeling of pride, he prepared to finish explaining the pill formula.

At that moment, Li Qinghou cleared his throat.

"Home-made pill formulas are very valuable to pharmacies," he said coldly. "I wonder what else the north bank is ready to offer in exchange for the formula."

Bai Xiaochun blinked, and then stood there staring at the four top rulers of the northern edge.

The top rulers exchanged glances. Then the old lady from Irispetal Peak took out a green pearl filled with swirling mist. The magnetic pulses it emitted caused everything in the area to be filled with ripples.

"This is a Protomagnetic Pearl," he explained, "extracted from the heart of the Protomagnetic Giant. It even contained a hint of pure protomagnetic power. Used alone, it can exert an influence on all magical items within a certain area. Even for Foundation Establishment cultivators, it could be considered an incredible treasure. It would be difficult to use directly with just a Qi Condensation cultivation base. However, the Heavenhorn Pavilion happened to have a pair of magnetic spirit wings which, if used with Protomagnetic Pearls, could be a powerful trump card for the Qi Condensation stage. With those wings, you can move so fast that even a Foundation Establishment cultivator will have trouble keeping up with you!

"Bai Xiaochun, after taking first place in the Chosen One battle, you have the right to go choose the treasure you want from the Chosen Pavilion. I've already taken the liberty of carrying the magnetic spirit wings to give you, I've already taken the freedom of carrying the magnetic spirit wings to give you, together with the pearls, in exchange for the pill formula! " Even as the words came out of her mouth, the old woman waved her right hand, causing a pair of green wings to appear. They, along with the pearls, flew over to hover in front of Bai Xiaochun.

Bai Xiaochun's eyes started to glow. He could already move at an incredible speed, but if a Foundation Establishment cultivator really wanted to chase after him, he would not be able to defeat them. However, with the Protomagnetic Pearl and the magnetic spirit wings combined with his speed, he could move extremely fast. Such a soul-saving thing was something that made his heart thump.

"Moreover," the old woman continued with a stiff smile, "if luck is on your side, you might even be able to feel the manifestation of protomagnetic forces. With that, you might be able to gain enlightenment from one of the top ten secret magicians of the Spirit Stream Sect, the Arcane Gravitational Repulsion! "

Bai Xiaochun licked his lips, and was just about to agree, when he suddenly stopped and looked at Li Qinghou to see if he agreed or not. He had long since come to see Li Qinghou as one of his own relatives, and thus, would follow in his footsteps. If Li Qinghou asked him to hand over the pill formula, then Bai Xiaochun would do so without hesitation.

To him, it was just a pill formula. To the northern bank, it was like a sacred relic. The truth was that Bai Xiaochun had many strange pills in his bag. In fact, he had already come to the conclusion that he had to start testing some of them to see the amazing effects they might have.

Li Qinghou glanced at the Protomagnetic Pearl and the magnetic spirit wings, then looked at the four northern edge peak lords. Finally, his gaze was fixed on the old woman. With glittering eyes, he suddenly said, "Add one of the other ten secret magic, the legacy of the northern bank ...Waterswamp Kingdom!"

As soon as those words came out of his mouth, Sect Leader Zheng Yuandong's eyelids twitched.

"Imust be!" snapped at the peak ruler of Sunset Peak furiously. He's not the only one who strongly disagrees. Archway Peak's peak ruler, the old man, looked at Li Qinghou with wide eyes.

"Li the Deceiver appears again!" he sneered. “This doesn't make sense! The Waterswamp Kingdom was a legacy from the northern edge, one of the ten secret magic from the Spirit Stream Sect! This was a top-ranked technique on the same level as Ghosts Haunt the Night. There was absolutely no way we would give it to someone from the southern edge! "

Bai Xiaochun stared at the commotion above, and when he heard the peak ruler of Archway Peak summon Li Qinghou 'Li the Swindler', his jaw dropped.

"Is that supposed to be a joke?" Li Qinghou said coldly, flicking his sleeves. “A thousand years ago, Ghosts Haunt the Night was the legacy of Violet Cauldron Peak! you northern bankers love to take it in trade, but now that the southern bank wants to trade for one of your old secret magicians, you refuse? It's funny!"

The top leader of the northern bank was at a loss for words.

The peak ruler of Ghostfang Peak was a partially transparent figure whose features could not be clearly seen. Sighing, he said, "The Ghost Night is the perfect match for Ghostfang Peak. Besides, it all happened years ago. Not worth lifting now. As far as the Waterswamp Kingdom goes, only a handful of people have ever managed to cultivate it, like the Heavenwing Patriarch, eight thousand years ago. No one else has done anything other than to produce a useless spirit. That's too hard. Peak Lord Li, why are you making things difficult for us? "

“No Waterswamp Kingdom? No pill formula, ” Li Qinghou said with firmness that can cut nails and cut iron.

Bai Xiaochun looked on in astonishment as the top rulers argued about the Waterswamp Kingdom. He had the impression that the offer was already good enough, although the Waterswamp Kingdom always sounded appealing to him. At the same time, he had a new understanding of Li Qinghou. He really gave a brilliant example of how to tear people apart. Could that be why he was called 'Li the Deceiver'?

The top rulers of the northern bank grumbled a little, but in the end, agreed to the demands. Although their relic secret magic was important, medicinal pills were even more valuable to them.

A while later, Li Qinghou directed Bai Xiaochun to explain the complete formula for the aphrodisiac pill. Considering how important the pill was, the peak lords had long sealed the area tightly so that no one could eavesdrop.

After Bai Xiaochun finished, the four peak lords took some time to check the complete formula. Then they nodded, and the old lady from Irispetal Peak threw a blue jade out towards Bai Xiaochun.

“The Kingdom of Waterswamp is one of the most powerful of the ten secret magic. This is a divine ability that requires you to observe all kinds of ferocious beasts, and use that knowledge to create your own life essence spirit. Create something out of nothing, use waterswamp to give it form, and call upon the physical kingdom.

"Over the past ten thousand years, everyone in the Spirit Stream Sect who had attempted to form life essence spirits had produced simple ordinary beings. The only exception was the Heavenwing Patriarch, who formed the dominant Heavenwing Gargoyle, as well as a few others like him.

"As for the type of spirit life essence formed, it depended on the comprehension of spirit beast cultivators. If a hundred people were to strive for the Waterswamp Kingdom, a hundred different life essence spirits would produce, some strong, some weak. Some, like the Heavenwing Gargoyle, were extremely powerful. Others produce nothing more than rabbits or snakes.

“Bai Xiaochun, you are a disciple of the southern bank, and despite the competition between the northern and southern banks, we are all one family. I truly hope that you can succeed in cultivating your own life essence soul. " Of course, regardless of his words, neither he nor any of the other three peak lords truly believed that Bai Xiaochun would have any measure of success in cultivating the Waterswamp Kingdom.

One reason for that, of course, was that the Waterswamp Kingdom required one to carefully observe and study a large number of spirit beasts, something that was almost impossible to do on the southern edge.

The transaction had been completed, the four peak lords of the northern bank left together with Zheng Yuandong. Li Qinghou stayed behind. There was warmth in his eyes, but it was hidden under the sharp gaze that suddenly appeared.

He started by reprimanding Bai Xiaochun, telling him not to be arrogant for having taken first place in the chosen battle. He then gave him some tips regarding his cultivation base, and finally gave him some more detailed information regarding the bracelet he had given him, as well as the Protomagnetic Pearl.

"Protomagnetic Pearls and magnetic spirit wings will be very useful to you. Take the time to get used to how to use it. As for Waterswamp Kingdom, this is even more profound than the Arsenal Magic Plant we have here at Fragrant Cloud Peak. By the way, the Dragon Mammoth Shaping Scripture was created by the founding patriarch of the sect, who led the campaign from the Heavenspan delta to the Lower Reaches. Make sure to study it well. It will make things smoother for you when I teach you the Arsenal Magic Plant technique. ” After giving her advice again, she turned to leave.

Very moving, Bai Xiaochun clasped his hands and bowed deeply. However, he could not help but ask, “Uncle Li, um... why did they call you Li the Deceiver? That's ridiculous! ”

Li Qinghou stopped in the middle of the road. His face grew darker, he looked back at Bai Xiaochun and said, “Stop interfering in adult affairs! Just remember that our apothecary stores the treasure of the Dao of medicine. We don't just give away for free! "

With that, Li Qinghou left.

The more Bai Xiaochun thought about this matter, the more his eyes began to shine with praise. He was now almost completely convinced that obtaining medicinal pills from Li Qinghou must have been very annoying to most people ….

After Li Qinghou left, Bai Xiaochun returned to his eternal cave. Now that he knew the Mammoth Dragon Shaping Scripture was created by the sect's founder, his heart swelled with admiration.

“In the introduction to the scriptures, the founding fathers talked about shackles. I wonder what exactly are those shackles? ” After a few more thoughts, he came up with some ideas, but had no way to confirm whether it was true or not. Shaking his head, he took out a Protomagnetic Pearl and, following the instructions given by Li Qinghou, put it in his mouth and swallowed it.

The pearl melted into a mist that flowed throughout his body and stopped in his Dantian area. There was nothing uncomfortable about the sensation, and in fact, he even felt a little lighter. After moving a little, he realized that he could move faster than before. It was almost as if there was a strange connection now between him and his surroundings.

Filled with astonishment, it produced magnetic spirit wings. They are green, and quiet like that crickets wings, almost transparent. After a while, Bai Xiaochun exhaled spiritual energy into the wings, and they began to melt. It took time to burn the incense, and during the process, his eyes glittered. Finally, the wings melted into his palms, and then appeared on his back.

Like water-soluble blood, they became part of it, and were easily controlled like his own arm. A bright expression, he did a single thought, and his wings fluttered.

He instantly turned into nothing more than afterimages, shooting at high speed towards the walls of the immortal cave. He screamed as he tried to stop, but was not used to controlling the wings and crashing into the wall.

Explosions rang out, and the entire immortal cave trembled. Fortunately, Bai Xiaochun's fleshly body was quite formidable, and nothing happened other than him who ended up embedded in the stone wall. After a long time had passed, he dropped to the ground and groaned.

Gritting his teeth, he struggled to his feet and glanced at where he ran into the wall. Not daring to do any more tests in the room, he walked out, summoned his courage, and then flapped his wings again. In the blink of an eye, he was far away in the distance.

A few days later, he was much more familiar with how to control the speed of the wings, and it was an incredible sensation. He almost felt invincible.

"Ha ha ha! I was so fast that even Elder Zhou could not catch me! " He threw his head back and laughed out loud as he flew a few circles in the air before returning to his eternal cave.
