Longevity, step by step to the highest

"Bufan, what is this?"

Wu Ping took the ancient token from Wu Bufan, on which there were the words "Qingling".

"This is the entry token for the Qingling Secret Realm, which is located in the center of the Qingling Continent, and contains countless natural treasures."

"The Qingling Secret Realm is always opened at irregular intervals, perhaps a thousand years, or several thousand years, with no regularity."

"But according to records, the shortest interval between openings is a thousand years."

"As long as you hold the Qingling token, no matter where you are in the Qingling Continent, as long as you are willing, you will be directly summoned into the Qingling Secret Realm when it opens."

"There are a total of one hundred such tokens, most of which are in the hands of the four dominant forces in the Qingling Continent, and a small number are scattered outside."

"So once you enter the secret realm, you will inevitably have to interact with the four major powers. People from big forces are in conflict, so this is an opportunity and a risk. "

"The four major hegemonic forces all have powerful existences like Jindan Zhenren, and they are the rulers of Qingling Continent."

"They are: Qingling Sect, Xuesha Sect, Mingfo Temple, and the relatively special Wanbao Pavilion."

"Wanbao Pavilion exists in the form of a chamber of commerce. They generally do not participate in the struggles in the world of immortal cultivation, and are only interested in buying and selling."

"Sixth brother, if you meet people from these hegemonic forces in the future, you must not provoke them if you can."

Wu Ping nodded. He did not expect that this token would have such an incredible origin. It is indeed full of opportunities and dangers.

For the immortal gates that rule Qingling Continent, he certainly would not easily provoke them. Even the Great Qin Dynasty, which only occupies about one twentieth of Qingling Continent, Wu Ping did not play with it and could suppress everything.

Unless his strength completely overwhelms the other party, this is also Wu Ping's usual code of conduct.

Don't fight a battle that you are not sure of, be cautious and careful, and you can settle down.

Seeing Wu Ping's agreement, Wu Bufan felt relieved and continued:

"This token is the reason why my spiritual roots were destroyed."

"The culprit who destroyed my spiritual roots is called: Han Li, the grandson of an elder of Lanyun Taoist Temple, who is cruel and cunning."

"At the beginning, he and I got a clue about the token at the same time, but after exploring, neither of us got the token."

"Later, after the clues were cut off, the other party actually set his mind on me, thinking that I knew more clues about the token."

"And in order to achieve his goal, Han Li specially asked his grandfather Han Yun to catch me, even though I was against Tiandao I swear, the other party didn't let me go, but destroyed my spiritual roots. "

"Fortunately, my master arrived in time, otherwise, I would have died long ago."

"With the destruction of my spiritual roots, my immortal path was also cut off, so I left Lanyun Taoist Temple."

"Taking advantage of the fact that my cultivation had not regressed, I returned to the secular world and established the Wu family."

"But by chance, I found clues about this token again. It may be God's pity that I successfully found this token in the secular world."

"Haha..."

Speaking of this, many tears appeared in Wu Bufan's old eyes, and countless memories flashed through his mind.

Thinking of his life, he witnessed his parents being killed and his family being massacred when he was young, and was forced to flee. Later, he awakened his spiritual roots and joined the immortal gate with high spirits. He thought he would rise to prominence.

Who knew that he would suffer such misfortune as the destruction of his spiritual roots. That was the dream of cultivating immortals that he pursued, and it was shattered just like that!

Now, he is also approaching the end of his life.

Even if he was unwilling, what could he do?

......

Time flies, three months later, Wu Bufan passed away, and he didn't live to be a hundred years old.

Wu Ping didn't force Wu Bufan to prolong his life, it was meaningless.

In these three months, Wu Bufan talked a lot, always pulling Wu Ping to talk about this and that.

He wanted to tell him everything he knew about cultivating immortals.

Even later, he was a little confused.

But Wu Ping didn't disturb him, and became a listener, accompanying Wu Bufan to complete his last journey.

During this period of listening, Wu Ping clearly realized that Wu Bufan left with obsession.

This obsession is very complicated, with expectations and worries about him, nostalgia for the family, unwillingness to be unable to cultivate immortals, and a trace of regret for not taking revenge...

With the death of Wu Bufan, there is no one left. This is how Wu Ping feels now, although there is still the Wu family passed down by Wu Bufan.

But to be honest, Wu Ping always felt a sense of alienation in his heart, and he didn't have any strong feelings for the Wu family.

Could it be that the immortals will always be accompanied by loneliness?

Shaking his head, Wu Ping forced himself not to think about it.

Now, his heart couldn't calm down, he knew it, but he couldn't stop it. He didn't like this feeling.

Turning his head to look at theWu Peng, Wu Bufan's nephew who was guarding the body, was Wu Bufan's most talented child in martial arts. He was the sixth child and inherited the position of the head of the Wu family.

His current martial arts cultivation was at the early stage of the Grandmaster. He practiced the body-tempering stage of "The Art of Longevity", which was renamed "The Art of Martial Arts" by Wu Ping and was given to him at a very early time.

Wu Bufan gave each of his children corresponding martial arts skills. The current Wu family is also a major force in the secular world.

"Take this jade. It contains my attack, which can be used to save your life."

"In the future, if the Wu family encounters an unsolvable life-and-death crisis, use the communication jade talisman left by your father to contact me."

"I will only take action once."

In the Wu family, Wu Ping showed the realm of the middle stage of the Grandmaster, and only Wu Bufan's important sons knew about this.

The reason why he said this was that he didn't want the Wu family to rely too much on him.

The Wu family is still in its rising stage. A powerful force often becomes corrupt at such times.

If you always think that you can rely on Wu Ping, the "Sixth Uncle", without a sense of alarm and crisis, it will be bad and will accelerate the decline of the family.

If the Wu family wants to survive in the secular world for a long time, they still have to rely on themselves.

After explaining the matter, Wu Ping left.

He knew that his current state was not good and he needed to adjust as soon as possible.

In a daze, Wu Ping followed his feelings and walked on the land of Daqin. The world remained the same, but things and people had changed.

Chang'an City, Sanqiang Blacksmith Shop, Wu Ping returned to this place again.

At this time, Wu Ping was the same as when he first came to Chang'an City, like a reincarnation.

He took off all his makeup, without the gray beard and hair, everything was his original appearance, in his early twenties, which was the best time.

After more than 50 years of wind and rain, the Sanqiang Blacksmith Shop was dilapidated and uninhabitable, but it was still there, and it was surrounded, just like a protected cultural relic.

There is also a plaque in front of the blacksmith shop, with the words "No entry for idle people" written on it.

"Hey, who are you and what are you doing here?"

It has been 20 years since Zhang San and Li Si took over the job of "guarding the Sanqiang Blacksmith Shop" from their fathers.

Although the salary is average, it is stable and leisurely. They can do nothing every day without being disturbed by anyone.
