Seeking Immortality

Among the three last wishes Liu Huaxiang gave, obtaining the skills hidden in the tunnel, either destroying or repairing them, was the simplest one. Moreover, Xu Qingfan had personally witnessed some of those secrets and knew that they were very powerful.

But firstly, these secrets were too cruel to practice, so Xu Qingfan was apprehensive. Secondly, Xu Qingfan's own withering and flourishing life and death aura had not yet been fully practiced, not to mention the nameless aura that Liu Huaxiang had taught him before. As the saying goes, a profession is about refinement rather than breadth, so although those secrets were magical, Xu Qingfan didn't care too much about them. Thirdly, because he was sad about Liu Huaxiang's death, he subconsciously didn't want to go to the top of Jiuhua Mountain again to be saddened by the scene, so in the past thirty years, Xu Qingfan had not been to the top of Jiuhua Mountain again, so he had never taken Liu Huaxiang's relics. As for Liu Huaxiang's last wish for Xu Qingfan to take these secrets to repair or destroy them, Xu Qingfan planned to complete them when he went down the tunnel in the future.

But just now, Xu Qingfan felt something unusual from the strange energy fluctuations emitted by Zhang Hualing and Zhang Hualing's abnormal recovery from injuries.

After thinking about it, Xu Qingfan found that the most likely reason for the abnormalities on Zhang Hualing was the secrets left by Liu Huaxiang, which were probably discovered by Zhang Hualing for some reason.

Thinking about it this way, it is indeed very possible. After all, although the tunnel Liu Huaxiang mentioned is secret, since Liu Huaxiang knows it, Zhang Hualing cannot be unaware of it. When he accidentally discovered these secrets while exploring the tunnel and saw that there was a secret that could heal his injuries, it is indeed very likely that he secretly practiced. Moreover, Zhang Hualing's repeated and frequent retreats over the years are indeed too abnormal.

Thinking of this, Xu Qingfan's brows couldn't help but frown even tighter.

Xu Qingfan knew about the secrets left by Liu Huaxiang. They were extremely cruel when practiced and required a lot of blood and wronged souls. If it was really discovered by Zhang Hualing, although Xu Qingfan believed in Zhang Hualing's character and determination, he still felt uneasy. In the world, we should be prepared for the worst.

Moreover, these secrets were the legacy left by Liu Huaxiang to Xu Qingfan. If they were eventually obtained by others, Xu Qingfan would feel sorry for Liu Huaxiang's spirit in heaven.

While thinking secretly, the familiar scenery on the top of Jiuhua Mountain had appeared in front of Xu Qingfan. It was still covered with snow and the cold wind was howling. Even the dilapidated thatched houses where Liu Huaxiang lived during his lifetime were still the same. When Xu Qingfan saw it, he couldn't help but feel a little sad, lamenting that the scenery was still the same but the people were different.

Shaking his head, Xu Qingfan didn't care about sighing about these. He walked quickly to the location mentioned in Liu Huaxiang's letter, pinched his fingers, then opened his eyes and shouted: "Open!!"

As Xu Qingfan's low shout sounded, it seemed as if the world was shaking, and the entire top of Jiuhua Mountain was shaking constantly. At the same time, a huge dark tunnel appeared in front of Xu Qingfan in the cracks of the earth. After seeing the tunnel, Xu Qingfan did not hesitate. He jumped into the tunnel.

This tunnel was very deep, as if it ran through the entire Jiuhua Mountain, so that when Xu Qingfan was in it, he only felt that the tunnel was full of darkness, and the sunlight projected into the ground seemed to be instantly swallowed up by the endless darkness in the tunnel.

After jumping into the tunnel. Xu Qingfan felt that he was falling down quickly. In the darkness, he could not sense time and space. He did not know how long it had passed, let alone how deep he had fallen. Xu Qingfan did not have time to think about these things. He just kept performing the "Feather Falling Technique" on himself. Otherwise, even if Xu Qingfan had reached the stage of Dan formation, he would probably be smashed to pieces at this height.

Finally, at the end of the darkness. Xu Qingfan only felt his body pause, and his feet finally stepped on the ground.

Then, Xu Qingfan pinched his fingers, and suddenly, several fireballs formed by the Phoenix Spirit Fire suddenly appeared and floated around Xu Qingfan. To dispel the endless darkness at the bottom of the tunnel.

Under the illumination of the Phoenix Spirit Fire. The scene at the bottom of the tunnel finally became clear. In front of Xu Qingfan, it was an empty mountain belly covering an area of ​​about dozens of acres and about dozens of feet high, as if the entire Jiuhua Mountain had been completely hollowed out. There is a big hole around the belly of the mountain. Xu Qingfan knows that these four caves are the exits from Jiuhua, but they are in different locations. When everything around him became clear, Xu Qingfan subconsciously looked up at the tunnel leading to here, but found that the tunnel was still dark, and people could not see its end at all. He couldn't help but admire it in his heart. Even if it was a body of immortal cultivation, it would take years of hard work and effort to complete such a huge project.

After sighing slightly, Xu Qingfan turned around without hesitation and walked towards the abdominal wall in the south of the mountain. When he came to the front and back of the abdominal wall, Xu Qingfan pinched his fingers again. Under the control of Xu Qingfan's fingers, the abdominal wall suddenly cracked a gap that could barely allow people to pass through. Seeing this gap appear, Xu Qingfan did not hesitate and immediately flashed into it.

After entering the gap, there was a bright light in front of me. It turned out to be a secret room hidden in it. On the top of the secret room, there was a huge pearl inlaid on it, which continuously emitted a faint milky white light, illuminating the entire secret room.

Looking at this secret room again, it was also very simple, with only a stone table placed in the middle, and on the stone table, there was a small wooden box.

Seeing this scene, Xu Qingfan quickly walked to the stone table, opened the wooden box, and saw inside was a green slip that recorded information. The outside of the green slip was glowing with a layer of colorful glow, but it was exactly what Liu Huaxiang meant. A restriction set outside the Qing Jian.

Seeing that both the green slips and the restrictions existed, Xu Qingfan couldn't help but let out a long breath.

Looking at the green slip in his hand, Xu Qingfan knew that the secrets recorded in it were all the secrets left by Liu Huaxiang. He couldn't help but feel a little curious, so he closed his eyes and began to put his consciousness into it, ready to take a rough look first. content inside.

However, Xu Qingfan was surprised to find that his consciousness was blocked by the restrictions outside the green slip, and he was unable to detect the information recorded inside at all, and his face sank involuntarily.

Xu Qingfan had seen Liu Huaxiang's method of setting restrictions more than once, and he could only describe it as miraculous. Not only is its defensive power extremely powerful, it can also identify fluctuations in people's spiritual consciousness and spiritual energy. For example, when Xu Qingfan was in retreat, the barrier that Liu Huaxiang arranged outside his thatched cottage could identify the fluctuations of Xu Qingfan's spiritual energy. Except for him and Xu Qingfan, no one could freely pass through the barrier. Another example is the suicide note left to Xu Qingfan before his death, which also uses the same method.

But this time, Liu Huaxiang left these secret techniques to Xu Qingfan, according to his habits and methods. The restrictions set should still be able to identify the fluctuations of Xu Qingfan's spiritual energy, but at this time, the restrictions outside the green slip blocked Xu Qingfan's spiritual consciousness. So there is only one possibility, that is, someone has broken through the green slip. The restrictions on the outside of the bamboo slips were used to check the information in the green slips, and then in order to prevent others from discovering it, another layer of restrictions was placed on the outside of the green slips. But he didn't expect that it would be self-defeating and Xu Qingfan would find out that something was wrong.

"So, it is very possible that the head master uncle is practicing the secret method here? But I don't know where he got the blood essence and innocent souls when he practiced the secret method? Could it be that like Master Liu, he secretly took advantage of the chaos in the world? Go down the mountain and collect them in various battlefields? I hope so, as long as you don't fall into the devil's path, everything will be fine. We can only pay attention to these things in the future."

Xu Qingfan held the green slip in his hand and murmured.

Then, Xu Qingfan suddenly opened his eyes and shouted at the green slip in his hand: "Go away!!"

As Xu Qingfan's voice fell, the colorful glow surrounding the green slip suddenly disappeared. After breaking the restriction, Xu Qingfan probed into his spiritual consciousness again and checked the information inside. After finding that nothing was missing or changed, he let out a sigh of relief. Putting the green slip into his sleeve, he quickly flew back to the top of Jiuhua Mountain along the original path without stopping.

After Xu Qingfan returned to his cave in Jiuhua Back Mountain, he remained unmoved by his discovery. He still meditated every day and practiced "life energy". He just ran a little more diligently towards the front mountain. First, he was dealing with The upcoming internal competition in Jiuhuamen is also to find out more information about Zhang Hualing.

On this day, Xu Qingfan was meditating. Suddenly, his body shook, and he felt uncontrollable surges of spiritual energy in his Dantian. During the surge, Xu Qingfan felt that his body seemed to be resonating with the world, and at the same time, his meridians and Dantian became wider and stronger. then. Somewhere in Dantian. As if something suddenly cracked, a majestic spiritual energy suddenly appeared in Xu Qingfan's dantian. And it quickly integrated into the four auras of death, life, phoenix aura and nameless aura in Xu Qingfan's body. In just a moment, Xu Qingfan felt that the number of the four auras in his body, which were already much stronger, had increased significantly. , the divine consciousness also became much stronger in an instant.

Xu Qingfan carefully felt the changes in his body. After a long time, he finally slowly opened his eyes, with a hint of joy in his eyes.

Huang Tian paid off his hard work. After years of hard training, Xu Qingfan finally reached the middle stage of Xu Dan. As Xu Qingfan's skill increased, the ten spiritual energies that Niu Hualian had previously sealed in his body were also released. Only one of them was released. In an instant, Xu Qingfan went from the middle stage of Xu Dan to the level close to the late stage of Xu Dan.

Xu Qingfan secretly praised with satisfaction. After these years of practice, Xu Qingfan found that the powerful spiritual energy that Niu Hualian sealed in his body really helped him a lot. The integration of such spiritual energy saved Xu Qingfan dozens of years of work. Years of hard work. It was obvious that he had just broken through to the middle stage of Xudan, but the spiritual energy in his body instantly reached a point close to the late stage of Xudan. Compared to those cultivators who have not received initiation, this kind of progress is simply unimaginable.

Xu Qingfan knew that the unlocking of this kind of seal was gradual. The first time he only unlocked one seal, but the next time he made a breakthrough, he could unlock two seals, then three, and then four. When these After all the seals are released, Xu Qingfan can almost reach the realm of the real elixir stage. In the meantime, Xu Qingfan can save nearly two hundred years of hard work in accumulating spiritual energy.

However, although Xu Qingfan's progress is amazing, at the same time, the talent gap between him and Feng Qingtian and Jin Qinghan has gradually become apparent. You must know that more than thirty years ago, after the "Jiuji Cave" experience, Jin Qinghan has already reached the middle stage of Xudan, and Feng Qingtian is only a hair away from the late stage of Xudan. Up to now, his strength is only stronger. Among them, Feng Qingtian might have reached the stage of real elixir at this time. It's just that Feng Qingtian has been in seclusion all these years, so no one in Jiuhua Mountain knows anything about the progress of his skills.

"It seems I still need to work harder." Xu Qingfan murmured.

Just then, Xu Qingfan's expression suddenly changed slightly, and he found that Ting'er suddenly appeared outside the house, as if waiting for him to finish his meditation. He was surprised and stood up and walked out of the house.

Pushing open the door, looking at Ting'er's cold and stunning face, Xu Qingfan smiled slightly and asked: "Ting'er, what's wrong? Is there anything you don't understand about cultivation?"

But Ting'er shook her head slightly, then stared at Xu Qingfan with her eyes, and said softly: "Uncle, I want to participate in the newcomer competition." ps: Well, I'm going to eat first, and then go to evening self-study. Today's first update. There will be 2 more in the evening.
