Seeking Immortality

The tricks can be seen in a small space, and a drop of water can contain the ocean.

When the flower in Xu Qingfan's hand withered and flourished, the Qingxu elders who were originally dissatisfied with Xu Qingfan had a disdainful smile on their faces. But when the flowers in Xu Qingfan's hands withered and flourished again, withered and flourished three times, and even experienced hundreds of years in a moment, all the Qingxu disciples were stunned, and the faces of the Qingxu elders also became solemn.

Before, they thought that Xu Qingfan made the flowers in his hands wither and then let them bloom again, which was just a simple energy extraction and return. Even the disciples in the Spiritual Silence period could do it easily. But after the flowers in Xu Qingfan's hands withered and flourished dozens of times, the elders asked for their own thoughts. If it were them, they could only do it more than ten times at most. If it was more, then no matter how careful they were, the flowers in their hands would turn into ashes because they could not withstand the continuous extraction and return of the vitality in their bodies. The disciples under the bamboo platform were even more so. Seeing the flowers and plants in Xu Qingfan's hands constantly withering and flourishing, their eyes were full of disbelief.

It must be said that the "Qingxu Sect" still attaches great importance to preaching and earning. After seeing Xu Qingfan's methods, even Huan Lingzi, who had looked down on Xu Qingfan the most before, looked at Xu Qingfan with expectation. These Qingxu disciples did not know that the withering and changing of the flowers and plants in Xu Qingfan's hands was not because he was extracting the vitality from the flowers and plants, but because he extracted a little bit of the "living spirit" and "dead spirit" in his body, and kept running between the veins in the flowers and plants, so it was much simpler and easier than extracting energy.

After withering and flourishing for more than a hundred times. Xu Qingfan once again input a little bit of "living spirit" into the flower, and then raised his hand, and saw that the flower in Xu Qingfan's hand, which had grown more than twice as large, slowly flew back to the original place, seemingly slow but actually fast, and in a blink of an eye it flew to the original flower stem. Then the broken part of the flower stem healed instantly.

Everyone saw that the flower, which had grown more than twice as large and more colorful, was floating in the wind under the bamboo platform, and was particularly conspicuous among the flowers and plants.

But Xu Qingfan's performance was not over yet. After Xu Qingfan returned the flower, he spread out his palm again. The sharp-eyed people immediately saw that there was a tiny white insect egg on Xu Qingfan's hand. It was when Xu Qingfan planted the flower in the air before, it suddenly appeared on the petal and was taken away.

After Xu Qingfan spread out his palm, there was no movement for a long time, and everyone was surprised. But after seeing Xu Qingfan's move just now, the Qingxu disciples did not dare to question it, and just waited quietly with Xu Qingfan.

Then something incredible happened. The tiny and invisible insect egg in Xu Qingfan's hand suddenly grew slowly. In just a moment, it was visible to the naked eye, and then the egg began to surge. Cracks began to appear on the egg. When all the cracks were connected, the egg broke, and a tiny, thin caterpillar appeared in Xu Qingfan's hand, white but ugly.

Everyone could have expected the next scene. The caterpillar grew up in just a moment and cocooned in Xu Qingfan's hand. When it broke out of the cocoon again, it had turned into a huge colorful butterfly, gorgeous and dreamy. It was intoxicating.

For a moment, the eyes of nearly 3,000 monks in the audience were all focused on this small butterfly.

After the butterfly broke out of the cocoon, it was about to flap its wings to leave Xu Qingfan's palm and fly into the sky. However, it just had wings, and it could not fly out of Xu Qingfan's palm no matter what.

Just as the butterfly was flapping its wings in Xu Qingfan's hand, preparing to see the scenery outside Xu Qingfan's palm, the butterfly's body gradually withered, and the intoxicating seven-color brilliance on its body gradually dimmed, and then it could no longer flap its wings, slowly landing in Xu Qingfan's hands, using its once beautiful wings to cover its already small but now even more miniaturized body, and slowly died of old age.

It seemed that in just a moment, the insect egg had gone through its life that was supposed to be nine months, from obscurity to ugliness, and then to beauty, and then died silently again. Is this lucky or unfortunate for it?

It was obviously just a butterfly in front of them, and no one would pay attention to it on weekdays. For a while, whether it was a disciple of Qingxu or an elder of Qingxu, it seemed to see a lifetime from it.

After sighing silently in their hearts, everyone suddenly realized in their hearts, what did I see just now?

Eggs turned into insects, insects turned into cocoons, and cocoons turned into butterflies. And died of old age in a moment.

Shrinking a spring and autumn in the space of a stick of incense, this is no longer the method of cultivating immortals, but more like the method of immortals in the mortal world.

How did this unknown casual cultivator Xu Fan do it?

If Xu Qingfan's method of making flowers and plants wither and flourish could still allow everyone to see the slightest clue, then Xu Qingfan's method now, no one can see anything. Even those with high cultivation levels like Xuan Lingzi and Huan Lingzi just waited eagerly for Xu Qingfan to explain, and the reserve in their eyes was no longer there.

Only Liu Ziqing, a former Mahayana master, silently looked at the butterfly corpse in Xu Qingfan's palm, with a thoughtful look in his eyes, as if he had seen something. Also looking thoughtful was Mo Ziliang, who had been deceived many times by Xu Qingfan. After many discussions with Xu Qingfan, he also knew some of Xu Qingfan's life and death methods. Therefore, although Xu Qingfan's method just seemed incredible, he But I still saw something.

Little did he know that at the moment when Colorful Butterfly died of old age, Xu Qingfan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Xu Qingfan's magical power of shrinking spring and autumn in his palm just now was one of the wonderful uses of Xu Qingfan's "The Secret of Life and Death". After verification during this period, Xu Qingfan borrowed some methods from the secret technique that Liu Huaxiang had used before. Xu Qingfan found that, If the "qi of death" and the "qi of life" are running in your body at the same time. You can also improve the body's qualifications like Liu Huaxiang's secret method. Just like Xu Qingfan's previous secret method transformation, the "air of death" is responsible for destruction, while the "air of life" is responsible for reconstruction.

However, this method was only accidentally thought of by Xu Qingfan when he was preaching to Mo Ziliang last night. Whether this is feasible is yet to be seen. And what Xu Qingfan can be sure of is that the pain of running the "Qi of Life" and the "Qi of Death" at the same time is no worse than when Xu Qingfan accepted the secret transformation before. You only have to endure that kind of pain once. It requires a long period of recuperation to recover, so although this idea makes Xu Qingfan ecstatic, but the "life energy" has not yet been fully practiced. Once tested, the speed of reshaping cannot keep up with the speed of destruction, then Xu Qingfan will have to I feel like crying but no more tears. Secondly, Xu Qingfan had a lot of things going on during this period, but he had no time to experiment.

But this time, turning eggs into insects, and then turning insects into dishes, was exactly the result of Xu Qingfan's transformation with the two energies of life and death just now. Use this to increase the evolution of this insect egg.

However, what everyone in Qingxu didn't know was that the sudden old age and death of the butterfly was not controlled by Xu Qingfan, but after it was transformed by Xu Qingfan's "life energy" and "death energy". The vitality was completely destroyed, and some sequelae appeared.

Seeing the beautiful butterfly being broken in his hands, Xu Qingfan was still secretly shocked, even though he knew that the butterfly's physique could not compare with his own. I was secretly glad that I didn't rush to test it with my own body after having this idea in my mind, otherwise I might have aged instantly.

Just as everyone was frowning and thinking, Xu Qingfan had calmed down and suddenly lit up a ray of phoenix spirit fire in his hand, burning the butterfly's body instantly, and then suddenly spoke with a low and gentle voice. Like a whisper in the ear.

"Next. What I will explain to you is life, death and prosperity. The way of checks and balances."

Although the butterfly suddenly died of old age just now, it was beyond Xu Qingfan's expectation.

As he spoke, Xu Qingfan's voice became deep and solemn.

"There is permanence and impermanence. The two trees are withered and prosperous. They are north, south, west and east. They are neither false nor empty. The twin bodhi trees are also withered and graceful. They are as crazy as drunk, as illusion and as real. The prosperous ones are always happy and I am pure. The withered ground is everywhere. Nothing. The east is always happy, the south is happy, and the north is pure. There is no time to waste youth. It is said that it is neither born nor destroyed, nor is it dirty.

First, he read the general chapter of "The Art of Withering and Rong" which had been modified by Xu Qingfan, and then Xu Qingfan started to talk about his own "The Way of Checking and Balancing Life and Death with Rong and Rong". In Xu Qingfan's view, there is actually a trace of life and a trace of death in everyone's body, but this breath of life and death is extremely restrained. When one of them becomes powerful, it is extremely difficult for the other to emerge. Moreover, the two energies of life and death cannot be changed by external forces, at least until a person dies.

When he discovered that Xiao Hei could absorb death energy, after Xu Qingfan came down from the mountain, he found an old man in the mortal world. The death energy was obvious in his body. He couldn't suck out the death air, as if the death air belonged only to the old man.

When everything in the world is just born, the vitality in the body is far greater than the dead energy, and it is still growing rapidly. As the vitality grows, human beings themselves grow from babies to children, and then from children to adults. But after that, the vitality inside has grown to the limit, and it can no longer suppress the development of death energy, and the death energy will take this opportunity to start to develop rapidly, and gradually swallow up the vitality inside. As the death energy grows faster, Powerful, both humans and monsters will age quickly until they die of old age.

According to Xu Qingfan, the reason why cultivators can live for hundreds or even more than a thousand years is because they are transforming their bodies so that they can hold more vitality so that they can continue to suppress the vitality of death. Even if Zhang Xusheng uses the essence and blood of countless people to This is also the meaning of transforming the body with the wronged soul and creating some kind of "immortal body". When a cultivator reaches a bottleneck and his body can no longer hold any more energy, it means that the cultivator's time has come.

What Xu Qingfan told everyone in Qingxu this time was exactly these insights. In Xu Qingfan's words, it is "the way of life and death with prosperity and withering".

As Xu Qingfan slowly spoke, every cultivator present had a look of madness in his eyes. What is the purpose of cultivating immortality? Isn’t it just to seek the way to eternal life? But most of the cultivators in the entire world of immortals only know that they need to continuously become stronger to extend their lifespan. Except for the Mahayana monks and a few monks in the alchemy stage, few monks can think of what Xu Qingfan did.

Over the years, Xu Qingfan has successively obtained the energy closest to life - "life energy" and the energy closest to death energy - "death energy" in his body under successive opportunities.

In order to balance the power of "death energy" in his body, Xu Qingfan has been practicing "life energy" to balance it. What he has realized during this period is exactly these, which is very different from what ordinary cultivators have realized.

Now that he talks about it, it is true that all the cultivators have shocked and enlightened expressions on their faces. Even Huan Lingzi and Xuan Lingzi have thoughtful expressions in their eyes, and they keep nodding as Xu Qingfan preaches. Although Liu Ziqing has realized these things a long time ago, when he heard Xu Qingfan explain this issue so clearly, his eyes were full of surprise, and he was a little uncertain about Xu Qingfan's identity.

This sermon lasted for nearly two hours. When Xu Qingfan suddenly stopped talking, all the cultivators thought that Xu Qingfan was going to do something amazing again. However, they saw Xu Qingfan stand up from the bamboo platform in the middle of the bamboo platform. They all felt disappointed, just like how Xu Qingfan felt when Xuan Lingzi finished his sermon.

But they knew that they couldn't force it, so all the Qingxu cultivators, although they felt regretful, stood up one after another when they saw him stand up. Whether ordinary disciples or Qingxu elders, they all bowed to Xu Qingfan. Looking around, thousands of people were humiliated.

"Thank you for your teaching, Senior Xu."

The voice soared into the sky, full of respect.

Xu Qingfan bowed in return, knowing that everything he had done in Qingxu Sect this time was over.
