I Cultivate Immortality With Scientific Thinking

Chapter 25: The Land of Falling Immortals

"The land where immortals fell?" In a bright laboratory, Lin Chen frowned upon hearing this sentence.

"That's right!" Yu Man hurriedly replied, afraid that Lin Chen would take action again, so he quickly revealed all the information he had obtained.

"The land of Lingnan was originally a place with barren spiritual energy, where even Demonic Beasts were unwilling to come. In this place, not to mention Gold Core Perfected Beings, even Qi Refining stage cultivators would find it difficult to survive."

"The reason why there is now such an Immortal Dao phenomenon is because three thousand years ago, two Soul Formation immortals fell here. Their bodies turned into countless spiritual rains, nourishing the spiritual veins of Lingnan Immortal Cultivation World, large and small."

"And in the place where they fell, your Azure Cloud Sect and the Xuan Yin Sect, the two ancestral masters, each comprehended the inheritance of one immortal, and then established their own sects. At the same time, they inherited the will of the immortals, and the struggle has continued for three thousand years!"

"And this is the true origin of Lingnan Immortal Cultivation World. It is not a naturally spiritual place, but more like a whale falling born from a corpse!"

Upon hearing this news, which was enough to shock ordinary cultivators in Lingnan Immortal Cultivation World, Lin Chen's first thought was:

Can a mere Soul Formation cultivator be called an immortal?

Ahem, maybe we transmigrators have set our sights too high.

Lin Chen suddenly remembered that he was only a Qi Refining Stage cultivator, and he seemed to have no qualifications to comment. He silently retracted this thought.

But it's not Lin Chen's fault either. In his opinion, Soul Formation is just a minor character in the mortal world. Shouldn't there be Void Refining, Body Integration, Transcending Tribulation, Mahayana, and nine levels of cultivation, with early, middle, and late stages, plus the peak of Great Perfection?

Who knows if a Soul Formation cultivator can be called an immortal?

"Maybe I'm just assuming too much. Maybe after Soul Formation, there is Void Refining, Dao Integration, and then the achievement of Great Principle? Moreover, the Primordial Spirit is an outstanding achievement in the Daoist tradition, so it's not impossible to be called an immortal. And the fact that the fall of a Soul Formation cultivator can create a place for cultivation and give rise to the struggle for sects, it does have a certain level of grandeur..."

Lin Chen's eyes flickered. He originally thought that high-level cultivators would just die and that's it, but he didn't expect that their corpses would not only give birth to Lingnan Immortal Cultivation World, but also influence countless cultivators with their will, giving rise to the Qingyun and Xuan Yin sects, making them fight for their will, life after life, without rest!

"During their lifetime, their cultivation reached the heavens and the earth, and even after death, they could still influence countless cultivators, even giving rise to the struggle between sects. This Soul Formation is quite interesting..."

"But on the other hand, does the fact that their deaths created countless spiritual veins mean that high-level cultivators are essentially energy beings, and their cultivation is the process of gradually transforming themselves into energy?"

Thinking of this, Lin Chen couldn't help but fall into contemplation.

Seeing Lin Chen fall into silence, Yu Man felt that his words had touched him, so he gritted his teeth and continued, "Fellow Daoist, everything I said is true, without a word of falsehood! As long as Fellow Daoist spares me, not only can I offer the relevant records, but I can also offer the peerless techniques comprehended by previous cultivators from the land where the immortals fell!"

His address immediately changed from "little brat" to "Fellow Daoist". Faced with a person who is either kind-hearted or soft-hearted, he can still use moral coercion, but in the face of someone equally ruthless, doing so would be seeking death!

So he could only use benefits to entice him!

"Oh?" Upon hearing his words, Lin Chen looked at him with a smile that was not a smile. "Peerless techniques?"

"That's right, what I obtained from the previous cultivator's Cave Mansion is not only these secrets, but also a peerless technique comprehended by a previous cultivator from the land where the immortals fell. Once cultivated, it will guarantee the completion of Foundation Building and even have a chance to reach the Gold Core stage!" Yu Man was afraid that Lin Chen wouldn't believe him, so he quickly explained, "Otherwise, how could a cultivator with only four spiritual roots reach the Qi Refining Late Stage Qi Cyclone realm at the age of forty? It's all thanks to this technique!"

"Is that so?" Lin Chen smiled lightly. "Why do I feel like you're lying to me?"

"How is that possible, Fellow Daoist? We are both cultivators. My life is in your hands. In this situation, how could I dare to deceive you? As long as Fellow Daoist spares me, not only will I offer this peerless technique, but I am also willing to make a great oath to become Fellow Daoist's servant!" Yu Man said sincerely.

He didn't mention letting him go again. Everything that just happened made him understand that the other party would never let the tiger return to the mountain. It was more about killing the donkey after it had been used!

So he could only offer to become a servant, hoping to gain a glimmer of hope in this desperate situation!

However, Lin Chen did not respond, he just suddenly put away his smile and looked at him calmly.

"Fellow Daoist..." Yu Man looked at Lin Chen's calm face and couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine.

Even if a stranger stares at you like this, you would feel uncomfortable, let alone someone who can control your life and death.

"Fellow Daoist..." Yu Man involuntarily swallowed a mouthful of saliva and forced a smile.

"Are you practicing the cultivation technique 'Mountain Morning Mist Art' that is sold in the market?" Lin Chen suddenly spoke up.

Yu Mantong's pupils contracted, and he forced a smile on his face. "Fellow Daoist, you really know how to joke..."

Lin Chen ignored him and continued, speaking to himself. "This technique is indeed quite special. By arranging a sufficient amount of spirit stones in the mountains and activating them at dawn, it can extract the spiritual energy from the mountains and the spirit stones, mix it with the morning dew, and form a spiritual substance called 'Morning Mist Dew' that can rapidly enhance one's cultivation..."

"To be honest, this method is quite unique. It is not easy to refine the spiritual energy in the spirit stones and collect the spiritual energy in the mountains. However, this method can easily collect and utilize both. Some of the concepts in it are similar to my research on the 'Non-Toxic Qi Pill'."

Lin Chen smiled lightly and glanced at Yu Mantong.

"But this method also has its drawbacks. It consumes a considerable amount of spirit stones. As an independent cultivator, even if you plunder, you won't be able to gather enough spirit stones to reach the Qi Refining Late Stage. So, you transform spirits into demons, use this method as a foundation, combine it with blood refining techniques, refine the blood of mortals and even cultivators into blood mist, and then purify it with the spiritual energy in the mountains to achieve the goal of enhancing cultivation. Does what I said make sense?"

Whether it is the spiritual energy in the mountains or the essence blood of the human body, they are both evolutions of spiritual energy in this world. As long as the corresponding methods and techniques are studied, they can be collected and utilized.

"You!" Upon hearing these words, Yu Mantong's face suddenly changed.

This was his greatest achievement on his path of cultivation, as well as his biggest secret. How did the other party know about it?

What he didn't know was that during the time he was unconscious, Lin Chen had thoroughly examined every inch of his body, inside and out, even more clearly than Yu Mantong himself. After all, as a scientist, it wouldn't be acceptable if he didn't have a basic understanding of his own experiment.

"It's a good idea, but unfortunately, it will leave behind huge hidden dangers if done in reality. The reason why the spiritual energy of heaven and earth can be refined is because it doesn't have as much unique information as the already evolved beings, so it can be influenced by the spiritual essence of cultivators. But directly refining other people's blood like this..."

Lin Chen looked at him with pity. "Do you feel a sharp pain in your heart at midnight, and the duration is getting longer? And when practicing in bed, you often have erectile dysfunction, and even in daily life, you have an inexplicable craving when facing raw meat? These are signs that your cultivation has gone wrong and you are on the verge of dying..."

"This... How is this possible?!" Upon hearing these words, Yu Mantong was directly stunned because what Lin Chen said was exactly the same as his own experience.

He had always been proud of his talent and thought that the technique he had improved was extremely profound, enough to impact the Foundation Building Stage. But now it seemed like nothing more than a joke.

"No! No! This can't be!" Yu Mantong was on the verge of collapse.

For so many years, he had pursued immortality with great effort, willing to be ruthless and bloody. But in the end, did he bring about early death due to his own cleverness? The contrast and blow were unbearable for Yu Mantong.

"You have a solution, right? You must have a solution!" Yu Mantong suddenly looked up and pleaded, "As long as you can solve it, I swear I'll do anything you ask!"

Compared to being forced, this time he was willing.

However, Lin Chen glanced at the array formation in the laboratory, then nodded and promised, "As long as you cooperate with my experiment, it will naturally be solved."

Ex... Experiment?

Yu Mantong was initially stunned, but then he remembered the scattered flesh and blood he saw when he entered the laboratory. It seemed like he understood something, and his expression suddenly became terrified. He wanted to say something, but Lin Chen covered his mouth.

Since receiving the news that Lingnan was the place where Soul Formation cultivators fell, he had directly activated the array formation.

The array formation was just finished charging, so Lin Chen didn't mind wasting a few words with him. But now that it was fully charged, why waste more time talking to an experimental subject?

As for the so-called peerless cultivation technique, it might be the most important opportunity in one's lifetime for others, but for Lin Chen, it was just something that could be done without.

With it, he could provide a direction for his thoughts; without it, it wouldn't affect his research. There was no need to spend more energy on it.

Dazzling spiritual lights once again lit up, and countless spiritual energy flowed into Yu Mantong's body along a specific path.

Rotation, compression, condensation, and then...

Lin Chen's eyes narrowed because in the observation formation, a faint milky white light slowly lit up!
