Seeking Immortality In The Cultivation World

After a quarter of an hour,

Wen Renqing retched and stepped aside, her eyes filled with resentment and a hint of embarrassment.

On the other hand, Lin Xiu squinted his eyes, seemingly quite satisfied.

He didn't consider himself a righteous gentleman. How could he let go of such an experience and beauty that posed no danger and came to him willingly?

Who made Wen Renqing so charming and alluring?

When they were in Qian Qingquan's Cave Mansion, he had truly been moved.

"It's a pity that this woman has a special constitution, making it difficult for us to have a deep relationship for now. But when we reach the later stage of Qi Refining, if we happen to meet again, I wouldn't mind getting to know her better."

However, the female cultivator who had obtained the secret technique from Xianyin Pavilion was indeed highly accomplished in musical instruments.

At the very least, she played the flute quite well!

His eyes flickered with a panel prompt.

[You have dual cultivated with Wen Renqing once, gaining 30 flexible experience points.]

[Wen Renqing's fluctuating favorability towards you: -45]

[Favorability bonus: 0]

[Unable to reach the favorability value required to become Dao companions, cannot bind as Dao companions for now]

[Earth Elemental Root: Lower Grade +303/500]

Lin Xiu:...

-45?

If it reaches -50, we might become enemies, I'm afraid.

Also, there's unexpectedly one less professional skill, probably due to not being able to become Dao companions.

But it was just a transaction,

Why does she hate me so much?

"Wen Ren Junior Sister, since it's a transaction, it's only natural that we each get what we need. Don't think I don't understand what you had in mind back then!"

Wen Renqing coldly glanced at him, took out a handkerchief to wipe her lips,

"Now that you have succeeded, don't forget what you promised me, otherwise, we'll be at each other's throats!"

Naturally, she was referring to exposing that unlucky guy as a spy,

But what does it have to do with Lin Xiu?

He smirked and nodded,

"The transaction is complete, you can leave now. When I leave this place, I will naturally take you with me!"

After Wen Renqing retreated to the door, her expression became extremely complicated.

She had thought that with just a little manipulation, she could easily trap this guy who had long coveted her beauty,

But unexpectedly, the situation had taken a sudden turn, and she had almost fallen into his trap.

If it weren't for her special constitution, which temporarily prevented him from succeeding, she would have suffered a great loss.

Thinking of the scene just now, she retched again,

"Lin Junior Brother, you better keep your promise. Otherwise, even if I perish here, I will haunt you for the rest of your life!"

When Wen Renqing had already left, Lin Xiu suddenly trembled all over,

"Wow," he spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Damn it, the word 'lust' is truly a double-edged sword, and I've overdone it!"

He opened the first page of the panel.

[Cultivation: Qi Refining Sixth Layer +51250/50000 (Red warning! Please upgrade as soon as possible!)]

This was the first time he had seen this term.

It meant that if he didn't advance to the later stage of Qi Refining immediately, his body could explode at any time, his sea of consciousness would shatter, and even if he didn't die, he would be seriously injured!

At this point, the spiritual energy in his body was already overflowing, on the verge of bursting out of his body.

This kind of overflowing couldn't be suppressed simply by consuming spiritual energy; it was a comprehensive improvement in cultivation.

In addition to spiritual energy, it also included comprehension, the development of the Spirit Sea in his mind, and the expansion of his meridians throughout his body.

He didn't expect that the moment of intimacy with Wen Renqing would increase his cultivation by a bit, finally reaching the critical point where he could no longer control it.

But all around him were disciples of the Purple Cloud Sect, and the spiritual energy storm that would occur during a breakthrough would undoubtedly attract their attention.

Even though he can change his appearance, it has nothing to do with the unfortunate fellow of the same clan who has already reached the Late Qi Refining stage, so he naturally doesn't need to break through again.

In addition, his cultivation technique is not from the Purple Cloud Sect. It's like throwing a catfish into a school of sardines, easily distinguishable.

The secret of this switcheroo is no longer a secret.

"This damn trash family's cultivation technique doesn't even have a record of suppressing breakthroughs. It's really killing people!"

After complaining in his heart, Lin Xiu's hand trembled, and he randomly took out a cultivation technique he had picked up from his storage ring, intending to learn and sell it.

It's the "Five Elements Palm Heaven Scripture" again!

No wonder, since this was just picked up, it naturally ended up on top.

He remembered seeing it in the second-floor book pavilion of the Treasure Pavilion.

It's also the only cultivation technique without the protection of an array formation.

Without thinking too much, he quickly browsed through the contents and understood why this scripture, with such a grandiose name, didn't have the protection of an array formation.

"Hand has five fingers, the extreme of the five elements, palm center yin and yang taiji, five elements Foundation Building, heavenly dao dan pool, then finger and palm balance!"

In other words, before Foundation Building, all five elemental spiritual roots must be grown to the extreme and transformed into Foundation Building Pill pools.

Then the level of cultivation is divided in a different way.

Four major realms are listed,

That is finger, palm, balance, and weight!

And just the so-called realm of "finger" already encompasses all the cultivators from the Qi Refining stage to the Ascension stage. The realm of "palm" is already considered a realm after Ascension.

Could this person be crazy?

Such a grandiose claim!

Not to mention whether these four major realms are reliable or not.

I ask, in the cultivation world for tens of thousands of years, how many people have been able to achieve all five elemental spiritual roots to the extreme before Foundation Building?

The legendary Heavenly Spirit Root is just a little brother in front of it.

Cultivators aim for immortality, and if they haven't succeeded in Foundation Building before the age of sixty, they are basically useless.

Who would have the time and energy to practice this time-consuming thing?

No wonder it was left untouched on the second floor, at most used as a negative example for verifying cultivation techniques.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Xiu,

Although he now has three types of spiritual roots, it would be extremely difficult to gather all five before Foundation Building and raise them to the extreme.

"It's a pity. If it weren't for the damn 'maintaining yang energy can increase the success rate of Foundation Building by thirty percent' influence, I could have opened the Goldfinger twenty years ago and possibly meet this insane requirement before the age of sixty."

He is now forty-seven years old, and thirteen years pass in the blink of an eye for cultivators. Time is too rushed.

However, it's not without gains.

The eccentric who opened this insane cultivation technique provided a way to suppress cultivation for the inheritors so that they can still achieve Foundation Building even without all five elemental roots.

It's very simple, just open a third dantian in the chest's middle acupoint.

Together with the upper dantian between the eyebrows representing the sea of consciousness and the lower dantian at the lower abdomen representing the lower dantian, it forms the "heaven, earth, and human" trinity.

Generally speaking, cultivators who practice using this method will experience slightly slower cultivation progress, but it is one of the most stable cultivation paths, providing a more solid foundation for Foundation Building.

"This is not bad, killing two birds with one stone!"

Time is running out, and Lin Xiu doesn't have time to study other cultivation techniques. He immediately guides a trace of spiritual energy from the lower dantian into the middle acupoint, starting to open the middle dantian according to the cultivation technique recorded in the "Palm Heaven Scripture."

He is cautious while cultivating in this dangerous place.

Each time he cultivates, it doesn't exceed one hour, and he always keeps a trace of spiritual awareness to pay attention to any movement outside the door.

Five days pass in the blink of an eye.

During this period, only Wen Renqing occasionally comes in, bringing some healing pills and food, and then quickly escapes like an avoiding plague god.

It seems that she was specifically assigned by the Purple Cloud Sect to take care of this fake Lin Xiu with the same surname.

Lin Xiu secretly laughs. The quality of these pills is quite good, reaching at least the second rank, so he doesn't hesitate to accept them.

As for the food, he doesn't dare to touch it.

His favorability is already negative forty-five. Who knows if this little girl will poison him?

In these five days, although he hasn't completely opened the middle dantian, he has successfully suppressed the signs of a breakthrough.

Just as he let out a sigh of relief, countless powerful auras descend on the flying boat, one of which is extremely terrifying.

Wei Qianqiu has returned!
