I rely on length to cultivate immortality

Through a few words, Li Xiuchang already had a vague impression of senior brother Wang Jingxing.

He originally thought that the senior brothers and sisters had great intentions and had been lurking for two thousand years, perhaps for the purpose of saving the world such as "preventing the expansion of Immortal Shadow".

Unexpectedly, they did so much just to save one person.

A goal like "saving one person" is certainly not as ambitious and noble as "saving the world," but it is more important to them.

There are so many capable people in the world who can save the world, but if they don't save Wang Jingxing, who can they count on?

Li Xiuchang did not shy away and asked directly: "What can I do?"

He knew that the neighbor brothers did not drive him out of Donggeng District at first, but also took care of him in various ways. He must have hoped that he could help them in the future.

But at present, it seems that he can't think of any direct help he can provide in the matter of "saving Wang Jingxing."

Chen Changsheng shook his head: "At this stage, if you practice hard and work hard to improve your cultivation, it will be the greatest help to us."

Zhang Wanzhi spread his hands and said: "Actually, we don't know what we should ask you to do. We have to ask Lao Gui. He said you would help us. Of course, I don't doubt this. You have grown up too fast. You are even better than I was back then." It’s a genius, and you’ve actually helped us a lot.”

Lu Yang also agreed: "Yes, you must know that before you came, for more than two thousand years, we made almost no progress, but after you came, in just a few short years, we have made a lot of gains."

Before Li Xiuchang came, they didn't even know the existence of the shadow world. The only clue was to find other problematic elders in the Xianchen Sect for interrogation.

Although many of the gains today are not directly brought about by Li Xiuchang, they are more or less related to Li Xiuchang.

Motu, who didn't speak much, said, "I now suspect that you are the glimmer of hope that Lao Gui mentioned."

The other senior brothers and sisters nodded slightly without any objection.

There was only a glimmer of hope to save Wang Jingxing. For this glimmer of hope, they waited for more than two thousand years until Li Xiuchang came.

"Don't be too stressed. Although we really want to rescue Jing Xing, we don't want anything to happen to you."

Zhang Wanzhi, who had the deepest friendship with Wang Jingxing, took the initiative to say this, which indeed relieved Li Xiuchang a lot of pressure.

Zhang Wanzhi paused and continued: "And I was really relieved that Jing Xing was still alive from Shi Tian's mouth."

Li Xiuchang was slightly startled, and suddenly remembered his previous experience of going to the Zen Mind Realm with Zhang Wanzhi. At that time, he said that he was entrusted by Shi Tian, ​​and as a reward, Shi Tian would answer a question from Zhang Wanzhi.

Now it seems that the question should be "Is Wang Jingxing still alive?"

Li Xiuchang asked: "Senior brothers, have you targeted any suspicious Supreme Elders in recent years?"

Chen Changsheng replied: "As long as the Supreme Elders who have entered the Immortal Shadow are suspicious, especially those who have gone into seclusion soon after coming out of the Immortal Shadow and have not shown up for many years are even more suspicious. Based on these characteristics, we are also suspicious." Several Supreme Elders have suspicions, but there is no direct evidence, and it is impossible to directly attack the Xianchen Sect to arrest them. "

Li Xiuchang nodded. The main problem now is that they cannot be directly identified. Even if they are confirmed, if they don't leave the Xianchen Sect and keep immersed in seclusion, there is nothing they can do.

"Senior Brother Gui didn't know the existence of the shadow world before. Can you figure out now whether they have been to the shadow world before?"

If we can calculate it, we can determine which of the Supreme Elders are having problems. We only need to wait for them to go out and find an opportunity to take action.

Gui Wuyan shook his head, and Lu Yang helped explain: "The four great immortal sects' supreme elders are all difficult to calculate because of their strong cultivation, so they are all led by the most powerful hexagram master in the sect. It’s very difficult to figure out their relevant information when trying to cover up the secrets. If you can figure it out occasionally, you have to pay a higher price.”

"That's right, some people who are too powerful may be sensed by them once they are calculated." Chen Changsheng added, "If it weren't for Lao Gui who helped us cover up the secrets of heaven, we wouldn't be able to stay safe in the fairy dust. Zong lurked for more than two thousand years."

Li Xiuchang asked again: "Although I don't know what happened to the people who entered the shadow world, no matter whether they were possessed by something or controlled by others, there was always a purpose for doing so, and they did not do anything abnormal. Or something out of the ordinary?”

Identity can be deceiving, anomalies can be concealed, but behavior cannot deceive people.

No matter what their purpose is, whether they want to kill someone or set a fire, they must take action.

After controlling these supreme elders, we can't just let them stay in the Xianchen Sect and concentrate on their cultivation, right?

Inferring their purpose from their behavior can also better predict their next move.

But the result, to Li Xiuchang's expectation, was that all the brothers and sisters shook their heads.

"At least based on our two thousand years of observation, the Supreme Elders of the Immortal Dust Sect don't do anything out of the ordinary."

"Don't talk about them. Even Wang Jingxing didn't do anything bad except for being noticed by us, and Lou Yu seems to have been practicing in a low-key manner."

"Those people who had problems seemed to work together to look after each other, but they did not do anything outrageous because of a drastic change in temperament."

Li Xiuchang was a little confused now.

What is going on with these people?

He didn't know whether this was good news or bad news.

The good news is that, at least in the short term, these people with problems will not cause any big trouble.

The bad news is that it is even harder to distinguish them!

Zhang Wanzhi coughed: "Okay, don't just ask us, you also tell me, what's the matter with your longevity pills?"

Sure enough, he couldn't escape... Li Xiuchang didn't think of any good excuses, but he saw that the eyes of the second generation of senior brothers and sisters were all focused on him.

That's the immortal pill of longevity!

One pill can extend life for a thousand years!

Such immortal pills, Li Xiuchang took out by the pound, really shocked them.

And even if they racked their brains, they couldn't make up a reasonable explanation for the origin of these immortal pills.

This further fueled their curiosity, and they wanted to hear how Li Xiuchang planned to quibble.

Li Xiuchang racked his brains, but couldn't make up a reasonable explanation.

So, he spread his hands and said very simply: "It's very simple. I can copy things. Senior Brother Gui gave me the Wanshou Pill for safekeeping. I copied many of them."

The senior brothers and sisters were stunned at first, and then all showed disdain on their faces.

"Xiu Chang, at least be sincere when you lie, don't be so perfunctory."

"That's right, if you make up a lie, you might as well say that you found an immortal cave full of Wanshou Pills."

"You can copy? Then wouldn't it be great if you copied an old Gui and used it as a consumable for divination?"

"What? Can't copy it? You see, don't lie like this, which can be exposed in one go."

Li Xiu Chang shrugged: If you don't believe me when I tell the truth, it's not my fault.

He didn't plan to give any other explanations, he was an honest man.

At this moment, Gui Wuyan, who had been silent all the time, suddenly knocked on the table, attracting everyone's attention.

Then words appeared above his head: "Xiu Chang's longevity pills were all bought through the Four Immortals Chamber of Commerce. I have calculated it."

The senior brothers stared, then sneered, knowing that Gui Wuyan was just being soft-hearted.

After eating so many longevity pills from Li Xiuchang, how could he not help Li Xiuchang out of this dilemma?

Li Xiuchang secretly gave Gui Wuyan a thumbs up. Senior Brother Gui didn't forget to add some people when eating pills. There will be a lot of longevity pills in the future!

Senior Brother Gui took the initiative to help him find a reason that no one believed, but it didn't matter whether anyone believed it or not. Anyway, no matter what reason he found, the senior brothers and sisters would not believe it.

Because there really was no logical reason!

Even if he told the truth, no one believed it.

Li Xiuchang immediately said: "That's right, I said long ago that they were all purchased longevity pills. You must not believe it. Otherwise, where did you say I got these longevity pills?"

He insisted that these longevity pills were bought, and there was also Senior Brother Gui's divination technique to endorse it. There was nothing the senior brothers and sisters could do if they didn't believe it.

Seeing that the senior brothers and sisters seemed to be unwilling to give up and wanted to get more information from him, Li Xiuchang quickly changed the subject and asked Senior Brother Gui for advice on divination.

"Senior Brother Gui, I want to learn divination recently, and I have passed the Heavenly Questioning Ceremony and obtained the recognition of the Heavenly Dao. Can you teach me?"

Li Xiuchang had just finished speaking, and Senior Brother Gui had not yet expressed his opinion, and the other senior brothers advised him.

"Xiuchang, don't do it! Divination is not popular! Nine out of ten talisman masters are paupers, and nine out of ten divination masters are short-lived ghosts! This is not a joke!"

"Yes, you are too young, and you can't grasp the divination!"

"Why do you have nothing to do to learn that thing? It's better to learn to refine equipment with me honestly. If you want to calculate anything, just go to Lao Gui."

"That's right, leaving Lao Gui, a ready-made divination master, unused, and spending your life to learn divination yourself, isn't this a waste of life and Lao Gui?"

Li Xiuchang waved his hand: "Thank you for your kind words, senior brothers, but I am long-lived, so I am not afraid. This time I purchased a large number of Wanshou Pills, and I have eaten a lot of them myself. Now my life span is long!"

"How long can your life span be? Can it be longer than your senior brother Gui? Look at your senior brother Gui's current situation, he can't even speak!"

"The art of divination is a bottomless pit, no matter how long you live, it will not be enough to fill it!"

How could Li Xiuchang not know these principles, but it happened that he also had a nearly infinite life span to fill this bottomless pit.

"Not much, probably 200,000 to 300,000 years of life." He said lightly.

"How much?"

"200,000 to 300,000 years."

"Xiuchang, don't learn from your senior brother Zhang to brag, this is not a good habit."

Li Xiuchang didn't waste words, his whole body burst with vitality, and his terrifying vitality made the senior brothers stunned.

After being shocked one by one, they immediately stopped talking.

With the cultivation of Hedao period, he can have such a terrifying lifespan, so he is indeed qualified to learn divination. Moreover, Li Xiuchang is practicing fast, his realm is constantly improving, and his lifespan will get longer and longer.

A word appeared on Brother Gui's head, and he asked, "How many incense sticks of fate did you get in the Heaven-asking Ceremony?"

Li Xiuchang answered truthfully, "Three incense sticks burned out in a moment."

Gui Wuyan's pupils shrank slightly. Three hundred thousand years of life plus the fate of three incense sticks burning quickly, this is the body of a natural divination master!

Other brothers and sisters also knew what this meant, and they couldn't help but sigh that Gui Wuyan had a successor!

Li Xiuchang asked curiously, "How many incense sticks of fate did Brother Gui have back then?"

In his opinion, Brother Gui, a top divination master, must also be a natural talent. Back then, he had at least three incense sticks of fate, or it might be the same as him, with three incense sticks burning out in an instant.

As a result, only a word "one" appeared on Gui Wuyan's head.

"One stick of incense?" Li Xiuchang was a little bit unbelievable.

If there was only one stick of incense, the Xianchen Sect would not even recommend learning the divination technique.

It is considered that you can get started, but your aptitude is not good, and you are judged to have limited achievements in the future.

Senior Brother Gui explained in words: "I can make some achievements in the art of divination, mainly relying on my strong desire for knowledge and curiosity, which allowed me to pass the initial stage of the divination master. In fact, when the divination master reaches a high level, the so-called fate is no longer meaningful.

"Because high-level divination masters are born to be hated by the heavens, no matter how good the fate is, it is useless. The heavens will never like you."

Li Xiuchang was a little puzzled: "Why is this so?"

Gui Wuyan smiled profoundly, and the words appeared on his head:

"In my opinion, the practice of divination is actually a process of building a good relationship with the heavens and then turning against them.

"In the early stage of practicing divination, asking for omens from heaven is to ask heaven to do you a favor and let you take a peek at your destiny. Whether it can be done depends on your fate with heaven. If heaven likes you and the things you divination are not excessive, then heaven will let you take a peek.

"If the fate is shallow, or the content of the divination is too high or too involved, then you will be rejected and nothing will be calculated.

"But when you reach the level of high-level divination masters, you will gradually master the ability to forcibly peek into the secrets of heaven. Even if heaven does not let you see, you can use divination to forcibly peek against the will of heaven.

"This time or twice, if you use force too many times, heaven will lose its favor to you. No fate will work. The feelings have faded, and you can only use force in the future. ”

So that’s how it is… Li Xiuchang suddenly realized.

Every time a high-level fortune teller makes a divination, he may be offending the Heavenly Dao.

So high-level fortune tellers are born to annoy the Heavenly Dao. Every time they make a divination, their life span will be shortened. If they go too far, they will be punished.

For example, Senior Brother Gui was punished. The longevity elixir only has 30% of its effect on him.

That’s why Senior Brother Gui can become a top fortune teller with the fate of an incense stick.

I guess the Heavenly Dao also regrets it. Why did it give Gui Wuyan the fate of an incense stick?

Without any fate, Gui Wuyan can’t get started, and naturally can’t learn the art of fortune telling.

“Since you have such a high aptitude for fortune telling, you can indeed try it. I will pass on the complete inheritance of fortune telling to you. You can practice on your own after you go back. If you don’t understand, you can ask me. "

Gui Wuyan did not hesitate to store the entire set of divination techniques in a jade slip and gave it to Li Xiuchang.

Li Xiuchang took the jade slip, probed into it with his spiritual consciousness, and began to study on the spot.

"Theory of divination techniques, basic divination methods..."

Li Xiuchang combined his cultivation with the Dao, and then turned to study the entry-level memory inheritance. With his talent here, he was able to comprehend it very quickly.

After a while, he mastered several basic divination methods and planned to give them a try.
