Absolute Destiny Game

Xiao Jie thought that this evaluation was not very good, but after thinking about it, it was not completely unreasonable. From his experience, immortals seemed to treat people as if they were not human beings.

Whether it was Kaiyang Xingjun, Tianxuan Zhenren, or Shenjizi, from what they said, immortals and mortals were two completely different levels of existence. Therefore, for immortals, once they became immortals, mortals were like ants, and life and death were no longer important.

But he did not think that this was strange. Immortals were essentially human beings, but they had obtained extraordinary powers, so their minds and natures could not get rid of human characteristics.

In reality, let alone becoming immortals, there were many examples of couples turning against each other even if they won the lottery by chance.

Friends who played together when they were young, once they became adults, their social status was different, and they became strangers from then on. This was too normal.

Kaiyang Xingjun and Xiaoyue Zhenren seemed to be good friends, but they never met their old friends again after becoming immortals. To put it bluntly, the two were no longer people from the same world.

If I become an immortal, will I have this mentality?

Xiao Jie thinks that it won’t happen in a short time, but if it takes a long time, it’s hard to say what will happen.

And from Xiao Jie’s experience, there are still some immortals who can do things, such as the demon-slaying master Lin Xuance.

He suddenly remembered something and couldn’t help but smile and said, “You can’t say that. Aren’t those three volumes of heavenly books passed down by immortals? It can be seen that whether it’s a human or an immortal, their personalities are different and cannot be compared.

When an immortal does good things, the changes brought about are earth-shaking. How can it be said that it is not beneficial to the Tao?”

Ying Baiyu was stunned by what he said. He had never thought of this question before, and he was speechless for a while.

Xiao Jie added: "You learned about Qi Refiners from books. Where did the books come from? Of course, they were compiled by people, and as long as they are people, they will have positions and personal tendencies. Such words in the book, I am afraid it was not arranged by Xiaoyue Zhenren?"

Xiaoyue Zhenren was abandoned by Kaiyang Xingjun, so he naturally felt resentful. It is normal to arrange these contents about Qi Refiners in elementary school textbooks.

Ying Baiyu was confused by what he said, and it was obvious that his worldview was greatly impacted.

Xiao Jie laughed and stopped talking, concentrating on finding what he was looking for.

The task requires exploring the ruins, and the reward is three Qi Refining Secrets, which means that these three Qi Refining Secrets are likely to be hidden somewhere in the valley, most likely in a secret place.

After wandering around the valley, a huge cave finally appeared in front of him.

Sure enough, the place where this Qi Refiner found for cultivation all had caves.

Xiao Jie walked towards the cave. What surprised him was that there was no restriction or test at the entrance of the cave. This was much easier than the Tianpu Cave in Konglao Mountain.

Could it be that finding the ruins itself was a test? It was very likely. If he had not cheated and found a BOSS to fly over, he would have encountered many crises along the way if he had explored the ground normally.

However, he still remained alert, fearing that there might be someone like Hongchen Zhenren here.

He walked along the cave and came to an empty cave not far away.

This was a huge cave with many stalactite columns hanging upside down on the top of the cave.

A corpse suddenly appeared in front of him.

The linen robe on the corpse was rotten beyond recognition, but he still maintained the posture of sitting cross-legged in meditation.

Looking around, there were more than ten corpses, sitting or lying, most of them wearing linen robes, with disheveled hair, and withered bones.

They all looked like the corpses of those Qi Refiners.

Surrounded by the corpses, there stood a stone tablet, about two meters high. The stone tablet was square, with a black and smooth surface. There were no words or pictures on it. Surrounded by such a group of skeletons, it looked like a tombstone without words.

These corpses surrounded the stone tablet, their faces facing the stone tablet, and they seemed to be comprehending the contents on the stone tablet.

I just don't know why they are all dead.

Xiao Jie was very alert. If this kind of scene is not handled properly, it will trigger a battle.

He summoned Daju first. During this period of time, he has risen to level 17 by gaining experience. After all, he is also a monster and can provide a certain amount of combat power. In case there is a real battle, every bit of power is precious.

Let Ying Baiyu and Daju be on guard nearby, Xiao Jie walked forward carefully and right-clicked the stone tablet.

[System prompt: A plain black stone tablet, it seems that there is nothing special. 】

Xiao Jie thought that this hint was the most special feature. If there was nothing special, there would be no response when the mouse was clicked.

Now it seems that there must be something behind this thing. It should be necessary to have certain conditions to trigger the answer.

He did not dare to try it easily. He looked at the corpses around him. So many Qi Refiners did not understand the reason until they died. He could not do anything recklessly. Who knows if the death of these Qi Refiners has anything to do with this stone tablet.

He walked around again, but there was no other way out around the cave, and there was no wall carving on the wall.

This is a bit strange. How to learn the three Qi Refining Secrets?

Xiao Jie opened the skill bar and took a look at the Corpse Language.

He thought, should I wake up a body?

Just as he was about to cast a spell, a faint voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Little brother, please don't disturb the deceased. If you have any questions, just ask me."

Xiao Jie was startled. When he turned around, he saw a white figure looking at him indifferently.

Ancient Spirit (spirit of the Qi Master): Level 52. HP 871/3600.

Xiao Jie immediately took a few steps back and retreated behind Ying Baiyu.

However, he immediately discovered that the ancient spirit was not hostile, and the system displayed it as a neutral unit.

"Who are you, Your Excellency?"

"I am the spirit body transformed by the ancient Qi Refiner after his death."

"Didn't the ancient Qi Refiners have souls?"

"Only after the golden elixir is fully completed, the soul will be integrated into the golden elixir and will no longer appear. When I died, the golden elixir was not completed, so the spirit body will be left behind."

The ancient spirit explained to Xiao Jie that due to the long-term absorption of refining spiritual energy by the ancient spiritual masters, their bodies and souls were transformed by the spiritual energy. Therefore, they would not turn into ghosts after death, but would turn into monsters similar to mountain elves. something.

Neither gods nor ghosts, neither life nor death. If you insist on finding something closer, it is probably similar to a sword spirit. However, the ancient spirits are ultimately the product of failed Qi refining. Since the original Qi machine has been cut off, the ancient spirits There is no possibility of transcendence for the spirit, and it will only gradually die out over time.

"I have been wandering in this cave for more than two thousand years. It is really rare to see the descendants now. If you have anything to ask, just ask me. I will definitely tell you everything."

Xiao Jie thought that this was very convenient. It seemed that this professional mission was just to find the ruins.

"Are you the only one here?"

"Yes, the other ancient spirits left because they couldn't bear the fate of their doomed demise." The tone of the ancient spirit was rather lonely.

Leaving nature means death. There is still thin spiritual energy left here that can allow the ancient spirits to preserve their form and delay their demise. Once they leave Xuanming Mountain, they will dissipate at twice the speed. It is estimated that those who have left are gone.

"What was your dharma name during your lifetime? Can you tell me?"

The ancient spirit shook his head, "Since I turned into a spirit body, my memory has gradually been lost. Over the past two thousand years, I can no longer remember many things, and I can't even mention my name."

"What's going on with that stone tablet?"

The ancient spirit looked at the stone tablet and said calmly: "That is not something extraordinary, it is just a stone that fell from the sky. At that time, the sky cracked and the spiritual energy collapsed. We and other Qi refiners gradually felt that there was no hope of becoming immortals. , so he placed his hope on heretics and looked for many strange things, hoping to find opportunities to become immortals.

This extraterrestrial stone tablet is one of them, but after hundreds of years of studying it, we found nothing, and even before we died, we were unable to realize anything. "

Stone tablet outside the sky? This was strange. Xiao Jie came up to take a closer look, and Ying Baiyu also came up to watch. Naturally, he couldn't see anything. Even Da Ju came up and even licked the stone.

Xiao Jie looked at the stone tablet, but he didn't expect to see anything. These Qigong practitioners had been studying for hundreds of years and still didn't understand how he could succeed so easily.

It wouldn't matter if it were another game. Everything in this game operates according to real logic to a certain extent. In other words, if there is any secret in this stone tablet, it is absolutely true and cannot be studied for hundreds of years. of.

The ancient spirit suddenly felt something and asked: "Are you also a Qi Refiner?"

"Yes."

"I didn't expect that there are qi refining practitioners today, really... Haha? Are you here to find the secret of qi refining? Or are you looking for a paradise filled with spiritual energy? If so, I'm afraid you will be disappointed. As you can see, this mysterious The Qi practitioners in Mingshan have limited achievements, not even one has become an immortal, and their spiritual energy has long been lost, so they are just a little better outside.

If you want to practice Qi here, I'm afraid you'll have to do something wrong. "

Xiao Jie explained: "That's not the case. I came here because I wanted to learn some secret techniques of refining qi."

The ancient spirit was immediately relieved after hearing this, "Haha, have you finally accepted your fate? Well, it's better to learn a few secret techniques of qi refining and be free for a hundred or so years than to waste the years in vain. If you want to learn this waste It’s okay to teach you the exercises.”

Xiao Jie naturally knew why the other party said this. This secret technique of refining qi consumes spiritual energy, and spiritual energy is a vital thing for a qi refiner. Therefore, the secret technique of qi refining is, to put it bluntly, a kind of A very useless spell.

It is equivalent to a krypton life skill. The more you use it, the lower your cultivation level will be. If you use it, you will be useless. Let alone become an immortal, I am afraid that the original state will not be maintained.

Therefore, there are very few Qi practitioners who specialize in this. After all, the more you use it, the lower your level will be. If you want to become an immortal, you don't dare to waste this spiritual energy.

"Thank you very much, senior."

"I can teach you, but listen to my advice. If you really want to be a Taoist, you must not abuse this secret technique of refining qi, otherwise there will be no possibility of becoming an immortal. My Xuanming Mountain lineage has wasted too much energy. In terms of the secret technique of refining qi, he has not been able to cultivate the great path. Alas, this is really helpless. There are many monsters and beasts around Xuanming Mountain. Without a few secret techniques to protect his life, it is really difficult to be safe.

Thinking about it, from the time I chose this blessed land to practice, the defeat of my Xuanming Mountain lineage was already a foregone conclusion.

Alas, let’s not talk about it anymore. Little brother, there are three ways to practice the secret art of qi refining in my Xuanming Mountain lineage. You can choose one to practice. "

Why choose one of three again... Xiao Jie began to feel that the designer of this game had obsessive-compulsive disorder.

"Can't I teach you all?"

"No, no, if I teach you all, I'll hurt you. You don't have much spiritual energy to begin with, so just learn a few secret techniques to protect yourself. How can you learn more? Besides, you can't learn too much. These three secret techniques are completely different. If you practice them together, they will inevitably affect each other and it will be difficult to succeed. There is no point in talking more. Choose quickly."

A box of options popped up in front of Xiao Jie.

System prompt: Please choose the secret technique of Qi training you want to practice.

Option 1: Healing Secret Technique. Secret technique that uses spiritual energy to heal wounds, remove disease toxins, and strengthen the body.

Option 2: Offense and Defense Secret Technique. Secret technique that uses spiritual energy to transform swords and armor for attack and defense.

Option 3: Spirit Sensing Secret Technique. Secret technique that senses the spiritual energy in the enemy's body and controls it to cast spells on the enemy.

Xiao Jie looked at the introduction of these three secret techniques and thought carefully.

The first one is purely for auxiliary treatment. This one is definitely the most valuable in reality. The only problem is that it cannot directly improve combat effectiveness. It would be good if I took the auxiliary route.

The second one looks good. The spiritual energy can transform into swords, armors, etc., which is very helpful in battle. The problem is that I can't use this spiritual energy as a consumable, and I don't lack attack methods, swords, armors, etc.

The third one should be a secret technique to give the enemy a negative state. This one is not very useful at first glance, but if you think about it carefully, it is the biggest benefit for Xiao Jie to improve his strength at present.

I have no shortage of damage skills or recovery methods. In a real duel between masters, the success or failure is often determined by the strength of both sides.

Whether it is against BOSS or fighting with other players, if you can first give the enemy a few DEBUFFs, it will be much easier to fight.

"I choose the third one, the secret technique of sensing spirits."

"So--look at it."

The ancient spirit waved his hand, and lines of white light words immediately appeared on the stone wall behind him.

Xiao Jie hurriedly right-clicked to learn.

System prompt: You have learned the secret art of Qi Refining - Qi Exhaustion, Decay and Death, and Heavenly Tribulation.

That's it? Xiao Jie was pleasantly surprised. This was actually very simple.

He hurriedly clicked to check. As expected, there were three new skills in the skill list.
