There's no Immortal Sect inheritance here, but there is an Immortal Sect pasture specifically for raising Spirit Beasts.

Immortal Seedlings are rare in this place, yet it abounds with a type of half-Spirit Beast called the 'Iron Rhinoceros'; shoulder height nearly three meters, with broad back and straight spine covered in iron scales, lifespan ranging from three hundred to five hundred years, and possessing great strength, no inferior to an ordinary First Order Spirit Beast.

The nearby small sects all like to use them to transport large quantities of common ore materials, which is very labor-saving.

This is considered a special product of Danxia Country, utterly unfindable elsewhere.

Just like the common people of Danxia Country, the Iron Rhinoceros was at one time a very common wild beast that suddenly underwent some mutation and, over generations, gradually evolved into what it is today.

Thirty miles north of the Danxia Imperial Capital, there is a peak with a height of three thousand and five hundred meters, steep cliffs on two sides, a ridge sharp as a blade, as if a sword raised against the sky.

It was high noon, and the sun hung directly overhead.

A streak of light flashed across the sky and landed on the summit of the peak.

Chu Zheng calmed the turbulent Qi within his body, looked around, surveyed the smaller mountains, activated his Spiritual Eye, and the flow of Yuan Qi in the world entered his view.

This peak was called Pill Immortal Peak, and it was said that the Pill Immortal of Ancient Times had once practiced alchemy here.

Not far from the mountain top, there was a three-meter-high Green Stone stele with a dense array of names inscribed on it.

"Wandan Pavilion, Shi Changli pays respects here."

"Loose Cultivator, Yang Shiteng, pays respects here."

"Taixuan Holy Land, Shi Gu, pays respects here."

"Taixuan Holy Land, Gong Rulong, pays respects here."

...

Since ancient times, numerous Masters of the Dan Dao have come upon hearing of its fame, leaving their marks here.

Chu Zheng quickly scanned over them and saw many names from Taixuan Holy Land.

He came here in hopes of discovering some unexpected gains, for it was a place where a True Immortal had once stayed, and perhaps there might be something different about it.

After searching around, Chu Zheng couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed, the fluctuations of Yuan Qi were quite normal, and there were no traces left behind.

Considering it, this was expected. So much time had passed, countless Cultivators had visited this place, and even if some treasures were left, they would have long been taken by predecessors.

Chu Zheng glanced at the distant Green Stone stele but did not leave his name. Instead, somewhat stubborn, he crouched and touched every inch of the mountain peak.

The details he couldn't discern, perhaps his interfaces might notice.

After groping around on the ground for a while, suddenly, a prompt emerged from the depths of his mind, invigorating Chu Zheng's spirit.

[Hundred Stars Elixir (Eighth Order/Incomplete): Made by using the cores of a hundred Lower Grade Stars as the main ingredient, supplemented with two hundred and thirty-seven kinds of Immortal Delicacies, it vastly increases the Cultivation of a Three Calamities True Immortal.

Because the Star Core's energy could only solidify three pills, the remaining half couldn't take shape and was thus discarded. With your current capabilities, you are unable to repair it.]

Immortal Pill!

Chu Zheng's heart skipped a beat as he stared at the unremarkable half chunk of stone beneath his palm, somewhat stunned.

This Incomplete Immortal Pill contained not a trace of Spiritual Energy. Whether viewed by the naked eye or sensed by Mana, it was nothing more than a very ordinary stone.

Dusty and stained, pitted and porous, it was indistinguishable from ordinary weathered gravel.

If not for the interface prompt, Chu Zheng would have never thought that this item was an Immortal Pill.

Chu Zheng picked up the half Immortal Pill, and suddenly his hand felt heavy. This Remnant Elixir, no bigger than a palm and unassuming in appearance, weighed a ton, easily a thousand pounds.

Using a hundred Star Cores to refine pills, such power is truly a miracle.

After scrutinizing it for a moment, Chu Zheng was satisfied and put it away. Although he already had many items that he couldn't currently repair, it didn't mean he wouldn't be able to fix them in the future.

Even just holding it in his hand gave him a sense of fulfillment.

Having this half of an Immortal Pill ensured his trip was not in vain.

After carefully going over the entire peak a couple more times and making sure nothing was missed, Chu Zheng finally descended the mountain and stepped directly into the Danxia Imperial Capital.

This time, he did not use the Invisibility Technique. He broke off a tree branch by the roadside, turned it into a few Golden Leaves, and entered the Imperial Capital through the main gate. He hadn't interacted with people for a long time and missed the bustle of humanity.

His time spent cultivating was not long, but some of that time involved the repetitive and tedious practice of running the Circuit of Qi day after day.

On the streets, the flow of people was like a woven tapestry, with the residents all looking radiant, a testament to their prosperous lives. Sёarch* The novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

As a land of longevity, there were many elderly people on the streets, and many shopkeepers were already of advanced years.

The various and disordered streams of Qi intertwined in the void, forming a net of bustling human life.

Chu Zheng stopped by the roadside, drank three bowls of wontons, and while listening to the noise from the street, he sifted through the information.

After a while, he was somewhat surprised to find out that the Royal Family of Danxia Country had a far-sighted person. Decades ago, they had issued an imperial decree to limit procreation, deliberately controlling the population growth gradually.

Being a land of longevity often implies an explosive population growth. The territory of a country can't support so many people, and in the absence of wars, other methods have to be employed for control.

The Royal Family of Danxia Country is strong, and although there are no Immortals present, the number of Martial Path Grandmasters who live over a hundred years is quite substantial, which grants them great control over the whole land.

Now, decades later, the effects of the population control order are starting to show.

Chu Zheng sat on the street for a moment, having had his fill of human noise, and then got up and left.

Following the guidance of the Heavenly Divination Technique, he went against the human tide and arrived at a graveyard.
