Absolute Destiny Game

Xiao Jie found a corner and started practicing.

Although the old man said that the spiritual energy was too thin to reach a high level, what if it was false?

This kind of thing must be tested in person before it can be assured.

As Xiao Jie's character began to breathe, the spiritual energy value in his body began to increase slowly.

You can see white light spots pouring into his body from the surroundings.

This ancient Qigong is indeed a perfect practice method created by a group of Qigong practitioners. After a while, the spiritual energy in his body gradually filled up, and the 1,000 spiritual energy value gradually filled up. Finally, as the spiritual energy value reached 1,000, the auxiliary skill of Qigong - Lingjin was activated.

Lingjin - start!

The next second, Xiao Jie saw white light surrounding his character, and the spiritual energy circulated around his body, and finally merged with the body, as if his color was coated with a layer of white halo.

When the halo gradually dissipated, the character seemed to have returned to normal, but when the screen was pulled very close, Xiao Jie vaguely found that his character seemed to have become more handsome.

No, it's not that he has become more handsome, but more like some subtle changes in temperament. Maybe his skin has become more delicate? Or maybe there is more light in his eyes.

Although the appearance is still the same, I always feel that he has more aura and a sense of master.

System prompt: Your ancient Qi training level has been upgraded, and you have successfully opened the first level - the entry level. Unlock the legendary trait [Eat the wind and drink the dew].

[Eat the wind and drink the dew (legendary trait)

Passive effect: You can stay healthy by absorbing the energy of nature - satiety MAX.

Skill introduction: It is said that the Qi refiners in ancient times can breathe clouds and spit out mist, eat the wind and drink the dew, eat the morning dew and eat the evening glow, and can survive for a long time without drinking or eating. This is the initial phenomenon of spiritual energy refining...]

That's it!

Xiao Jie was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the first level of this Qi training technique was so easy to practice.

It's a pity that this gifted skill is a bit lousy. It doesn't make much sense except that it can save a lot of money on buying food.

Every time you upgrade the Qi Refining Technique, you can unlock a legendary trait. I hope the next one won't be so bad.

Keep practicing!

Xiao Jie didn't say anything and continued to breathe in and out. However, this time, the spiritual energy value didn't increase at all.

System prompt: The spiritual energy value is too thin and can't be practiced.

System prompt: The spiritual energy value is too thin...

System prompt: spiritual energy...

Xiao Jie thought to himself, I can't practice it.

If you follow this setting, the higher the level of your Qi Refining Technique, the higher the concentration of spiritual energy required.

Then the difficulty of improving the realm will naturally be higher.

Now I can't practice at the first level, then the next nine levels will be even more difficult?

What kind of place can have enough rich spiritual energy to continue to upgrade...0

Xiao Jie frowned for a while. From this point of view, normal practice seems to be a dead end.

He couldn't help but look at the old man in the cave on the stone wall in the distance.

If what the old man said was true, then his deal was really very cost-effective. It gave him a way to ascend. If he could cultivate to become an immortal, it would be easy to kill a few big monsters at that time. What would it matter if he helped him become an immortal?

This deal still feels very cost-effective.

But Xiao Jie always felt that there was something wrong with it. There was no way. He had been beaten up by the real society too much. He was naturally distrustful of such good things that fell from the sky.

Even if the ins and outs of this good thing seemed very clear and seemed to be completely logically sound, Xiao Jie still instinctively felt that there was something wrong.

If a liar wants to deceive people, he will definitely make the lie airtight, and seven points are true and three points are false. At least he will do so.

Most of what this old Taoist said should be true, but it might also hide some secrets that cannot be told.

But how should he choose? If he doesn't choose, wouldn't it be a waste of time?

Feeling annoyed for a moment, he couldn't help but observe the surroundings again. The cave of Tianpu is very huge, so he might as well explore it first.

Maybe he can find some useful information.

He looked at the stone wall again. Fortunately, the old man seemed to be sleeping and didn't mean to stop him.

Xiao Jie stood up and walked along the stone road under the waterfall towards the valley.

Not long after walking, Xiao Jie was attracted by a strange little tree. Hey, what kind of fruit tree is this?

The fruit tree is very slender, with sparse branches and emerald green leaves, and dozens of golden fruits are hanging on the tree.

Xiao Jie clicks to collect.

System prompt: Collection is successful, and the Golden Sun Fruit is obtained.

[Golden Sun Fruit (Medicinal Material)

Item Description: This ancient exotic fruit is produced in Konglao Mountain. It has strong medicinal properties and is a good material for refining elixirs. Alchemists from all over the world may be interested in it.]

It's a good thing. Although the specific effects are not yet known, this kind of material that can be used to refine elixirs and tools is generally very valuable.

At the beginning, he brushed some scarlet resin from tree knots in Houer Valley. At that time, he didn't take it seriously, but later found that it was quite valuable.

And generally, things with the suffix "I would be interested in this" are not low in value.

Xiao Jie mined without saying a word, and soon he collected more than a dozen.

In fact, there are still many, and we can definitely pick more, but think about it, don't make the old man angry, maybe the old Taoist in the world will want to eat it.

Although the Qi Refiners can eat wind and drink dew, maybe they use it as a snack.

Then Xiao Jie found another pool of water, just under a waterfall, with some silver fish swimming in the pool.

It's a pity that there is no fishing skill, otherwise I can catch some.

Hey, these vines look good.

Xiao Jie uses the wood-chopping skill.

System prompt: The wood-chopping is successful, and [Millennium Qingfeng Vine] is obtained.

Thousand years, it sounds like a good thing, and when he started to cut, more than a dozen thousand-year-old Qingfeng vines fell into his bag.

Xiao Jie found everything strange in this valley. It must be said that it is worthy of being a treasure land for ancient Qi Refiners to practice. Everything looks strange and weird, and it looks like a good thing.

Xiao Jie became more and more excited as he collected more and more. He gradually went deeper into the valley. The surrounding plants became more and more lush. He passed through a patch of weeds and suddenly a mound appeared in front of him. There was a stone tablet in front of the mound.

Eight big characters were written on it - the tomb of the Qi Refiner Linglongzi.

Hmm?

Qi Refiners can also die?

Yes, if Qi Refiners cannot cultivate to become immortals, their lifespan should also be limited...

Xiao Jie thought about it, but felt something was wrong.

No, as long as the spiritual energy is abundant, it should be easy to practice. I, a rookie, can practice to the first level in half an hour.

Since the Qi Refiners in this valley can study the cultivation methods with each other, there is no reason why others can practice well for hundreds or thousands of years, but this one died inexplicably?

No, absolutely not!

According to Hongchen Taoist, the spiritual energy was very abundant before this. It was not until other Qi Refiners gradually cultivated to become immortals and left one after another that he realized that the situation was not good and the spiritual energy became thin.

In other words, it stands to reason that no one should have died before this, right?

A bold idea suddenly popped up in Xiao Jie's mind. He had a feeling that this Linglongzi might know something. Why not dig him out and ask him?

He looked far away in the direction of the valley entrance. He couldn't see the specific situation of the old man because he was too far away.

If he was caught, it would be a disaster. It was different from picking some fruits casually. After all, he was someone else's Taoist friend...

And if this Linglongzi really knew some secrets, wouldn't it be-

No, I must ask clearly, otherwise this matter is always a hidden danger. Let's take a gamble!

Xiao Jie summoned Xiong Da.

"Xiong Da, go and keep watch for me. If you see someone coming, just roar, then rush over immediately and entangle him for me, no matter what method you use!"

Xiong Da roared and ran over there to keep watch.

Xiao Jie took this opportunity to quickly equip himself with a shovel and use the digging skill.

He dug out a corpse from the mound in a few seconds.

What surprised him was that the corpse was not rotten, and looked lifelike. If it wasn't for the fact that the health bar was 0 when the mouse was clicked, it would almost look like it was asleep.

Linglongzi was still a handsome guy, but there were many white hairs in his hair, which made him look old.

Xiao Jie used the corpse language technique directly.

The screen in front of him suddenly became dark, and the surrounding scenery seemed to be shrouded in a layer of gray fog, and even the surrounding sounds became blurred.

Only the corpse in front of him suddenly became extremely clear, and even slowly raised his head and opened his eyes.

The pair of dull and lifeless empty eyes looked at Xiao Jie, and because the corpse was preserved too well, it seemed to be alive.

The first question - "How did you die?"

"I was killed by... Hongchen..."

Xiao Jie's heart suddenly shouted that there was something! Hongchen actually killed a fellow Taoist who was also a Qi Refiner. He was really not a good person!

The second question - "Why did the real person Hongchen kill you?"

"In order to... become an immortal... and take away my... cultivation..."

Damn! This old man is indeed problematic!

The third question - "How did Hongchen Taoist take away your cultivation?"

"Take away my... golden elixir... refine... gourd..."

Golden elixir! Golden elixir!

Xiao Jie instantly remembered a few sentences about golden elixir in the ancient Qi refining technique.

It seems that the golden elixir realm is a realm in the middle and late stages. Once the spiritual energy is cultivated, a golden elixir will be formed in the cultivator's body. At this stage, the cultivator's life span will be greatly improved. As the saying goes [One golden elixir is swallowed into the stomach, and then I know that my life is not controlled by heaven]

The golden elixir is a special product formed by the gathering of spiritual energy, and it is somewhat similar to the inner elixir of the demon race.

Could it be that Hongchen Taoist took away this person's golden elixir, refined it directly, and then absorbed it himself? He made the demon refining gourd, probably for the purpose of attacking the Taoist friends around him!

Xiao Jie can almost think of what happened at the beginning. As the immortals ascended, those who stayed in the valley and failed to ascend were naturally extremely anxious, but there was not enough spiritual energy, so in order to ascend, an internal conflict occurred.

Taoist Hongchen killed all his fellow Taoists to become an immortal, so how could he place his hopes on himself?

There is definitely something wrong with this matter.

He had roughly understood Taoist Hongchen's plan at this time.

Taoist Hongchen was only one step away from becoming an immortal, so he gave him this demon refining gourd to let him collect the inner elixir and refine the spiritual energy.

This demon refining gourd may have some problems, or the Qi refining technique on the wall may have been tampered with. In short, after I reach the Golden Core Realm and before I ascend, I will definitely be stuck and unable to ascend. At that time, I will naturally come to Hongchen Zhenren for help.

And when that time comes, it will be time for him to take action against me. Kill me, increase my cultivation, and he can ascend to become an immortal!

The more Xiao Jie thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case.

His mind was working fast, so what should I do?

Reject the other party's proposal? But in this way, I will not be able to practice. Although this Taoist Hongchen has concealed something, some of his words should be true, such as the statement about spiritual energy.

And what if after I refuse, the other party will go all out and kill me too?

The other party even killed fellow Taoists, so what does killing an ordinary person mean?

No, I still have to accept this proposal, even if it is just a pretense, I must stabilize the other party. This Taoist Hongchen is currently behaving normally, but once I lose my usefulness, I am likely to be killed immediately.

Xiao Jie hurriedly buried the body again.

Then he hurried out of the valley, sent Xiong Da away, and returned to the stone platform where he had meditated before, sitting cross-legged and meditating, continuing to refine Qi.

Of course, refining Qi won't lead to anything, but he doesn't need to get any results, as long as he makes the other party think that he has been working hard to refine Qi.

I don't know how long it has been, but a yawn came from the stone cave.

"Ah, good sleep, good sleep!" Hongchen Taoist jumped down from the stone wall, and landed in front of Xiao Jie in two or three jumps.

"Little brother, how is your Qi refining? Have you achieved any results?" The tone of the Hongchen Taoist unexpectedly became friendly.

Xiao Jie did not dare to have any more fantasies, and immediately said what he had prepared, "Alas, I have already reached the first level, but I don't know why, no matter how I practice, my spiritual energy will not increase."

"Hehe, of course it won't increase. The concentration of spiritual energy in this valley is not enough. The spiritual energy in this waterfall cave is only enough for you to reach the first level. If you want to go up, you must have great spiritual energy. Such places are rare in the world. Where can you find them?

Besides, even if you find them, and you are lucky enough to reach one or two levels, what will happen then? It's still a dead end.

You should listen to my advice and cooperate with me. There is no one else in the world who can help you become an immortal.

I help you, you help me, we help each other, and we become immortals together. Isn't it good?

I don't want to talk nonsense with you, just give me a straight answer, are you going to accept this task or not?"

The Hongchen Taoist said, and his tone gradually became stern.
