Seeking Immortality

Tomorrow, I will find an editor to change it.

After Xu Qingfan took the "Ascension Pill", he felt that the moment it entered his stomach, it turned into a very majestic and pure energy, which quickly spread throughout Xu Qingfan's meridians and merged with the four spiritual energies in his body.

The process of refining the "Ascension Pill" was very smooth. The "Ascension Pill" itself was condensed from the purest energy of the five elements of heaven and earth, so there would be no difficulty in refining and fusing it. The spiritual energy in the "Ascension Pill" merged smoothly with the original spiritual energy in Xu Qingfan's body. Xu Qingfan only felt that when the energy in the "Ascension Pill" completely dissipated, the spiritual energy in his body increased by more than 30%.

I don't know how long it took, Xu Qingfan only felt his body tremble, his aura suddenly exploded, the spiritual energy around him became denser, he felt that the meridians in his body suddenly became wide and tougher, the connection between his body and the world became closer, and his mind, which was trapped in the emptiness, became stronger.

This situation was not the first time Xu Qingfan encountered it. Xu Qingfan knew that with the help of the "Ascension Pill", he had now broken through to the late stage of the Void Pill.

The improvement of the realm is due to the increase of spiritual energy in the body on the one hand, and the increase of the understanding of the Heavenly Dao on the other hand. Both are indispensable. The spiritual energy in Xu Qingfan's body has long reached the limit of the middle stage of the Void Dan. In these days, he first listened to Xuan Lingzi's preaching, and then discussed the Dao with Mo Ziliang, Jin Tiesou, Xu Hanzun and others many times. His understanding of the Heavenly Dao has also deepened unconsciously, and this breakthrough in the realm seems so natural.

At the moment when Xu Qingfan broke through to the late stage of Xudan, two of the ten spiritual energies that Niu Hualian had sealed in his body suddenly broke again and turned into two powerful spiritual energies, just like the spiritual energy in the previous "Ascension Pill", and quickly merged with the spiritual energy in Xu Qingfan's body. For a while, the spiritual energy in Xu Qingfan's body surged again.

But in terms of the spiritual energy in the body, Xu Qingfan actually reached the peak of the late stage of Xudan from the peak of the middle stage of Xudan in a short period of seclusion, which is shocking. As long as Xu Qingfan can keep up with the understanding of the way of heaven, and then retreat for a few years, he can reach the real stage.

I don't know how long it took, Xu Qingfan successively merged the "Ascension Pill" and the spiritual energy sealed in his body by Niu Hualian one by one. After stabilizing the realm of the late stage of Xudan, he finally slowly opened his eyes.

In front of him, the sun shone all over the bamboo house.

Although Xu Qingfan broke through from the middle stage of the Void Pill to the late stage of the Void Pill this time, and the increase in his power saved him hundreds of years of ordinary cultivation, there was no joy in Xu Qingfan's eyes at this time, but a hint of worry.

But Xu Qingfan was wondering if he was progressing too fast and too smoothly?

Cultivating immortals is an act against the will of heaven, and the hardships during the period can be said to be the most difficult in the world, and the more difficult it is, the more difficult it becomes. This is the obstacle of heaven to the act of cultivating immortals against the will of heaven, but it is also a necessary experience for cultivating immortals. Only after this experience can the state of mind of cultivating immortals keep up with their own cultivation.

But since Xu Qingfan entered the Jindan stage. Because of successive opportunities, it took only less than forty years to reach the late stage of the Void Pill from the just entering the Jindan stage. Even if it was only a difference from the real Dan stage in the understanding of heaven and a few retreats. Is this good or bad for him?

Xu Qingfan shook his head and stopped thinking about it, but he secretly decided to pay more attention to this aspect in the future.

Then, Xu Qingfan circulated the formless spiritual energy in his body and observed it carefully.

When Liu Huaxiang taught Xu Qingfan the "Formless Art" before, he did not explain that this technique was the sect-level technique of Jiuhua Mountain. In addition, after practicing, Xu Qingfan did not find that this nameless spiritual energy had any other strange features besides the extremely slow speed of practice, so he did not pay much attention to it. It was only because of Liu Huaxiang's legacy that he insisted on practicing, and in fact, he had transferred most of his energy to the "life energy" and "death energy".

But now that he knew that the spiritual energy that he had ignored before was actually the famous "Formless Art" of Jiuhua Mountain, he naturally could not ignore it anymore. So after Xu Qingfan broke through to the late stage of Xudan, he began to observe this formless spiritual energy carefully. You know, this formless spiritual energy may be as good as the "life energy" and "death energy" in Xu Qingfan's body, and slightly stronger than the "Phoenix Spirit".

As Xu Qingfan's realm increased, the total amount of this formless spiritual energy also increased by more than 30%, but it was still the same ordinary appearance as before, so Xu Qingfan could not find any special features. It just didn't have any characteristics of the five elements, as if it was alone outside the five elements. Xu Qingfan had noticed this before, but as this formless spiritual energy gradually became larger, this characteristic became more and more obvious.

After a long time, Xu Qingfan murmured: "Let's use the Taoist method."

As he said, Xu Qingfan stood up from the bamboo bed and walked out of the house.

Outside the house, there was a bamboo forest, which was quiet and distant.

Xu Qingfan let out a long breath, and at the same time, the formless spiritual energy in his body slowly circulated, and then he shouted softly: "Giant Wood Jue!"

Xu Qingfan first used the wood-based Taoist method that he was most familiar with.

But after a long time, there was no reaction in front of Xu Qingfan, just like Xu Qingfan had tried many times before.

Xu Qingfan frowned slightly, and then began to cast the other four Taoist methods he knew, but whether it was the Fire Taoist method, the Water Taoist method, or the Metal and Earth Taoist method, using this phaseless spiritual energy to cast But still no response.

"It's still the same as before. It hasn't changed in any way because of its power, and it still can't perform any Taoist techniques." Xu Qingfan looked at the green bamboo in front of him and said softly to himself.

final. However, Xu Qingfan decided to give up for the time being. He would wait until he returned to Jiuhua to slowly explore the functions of the phaseless spiritual energy. After all, there was more information about the "Phaseless Jue" there. What's more, Xu Qingfan was currently practicing "The Art of Living Beings". "Qi" and "Qi of death", and the most taboo thing in cultivating immortality is half-heartedness in cultivating immortality.

"It's better to perfect the life and death formula now."

With that said, Xu Qingfan walked towards the outside of the bamboo forest.

When Xu Qingfan passed through the barrier outside the bamboo forest and arrived at Ronghua Mountain, he found two Qingxu disciples meditating outside the barrier. They stood up after seeing Xu Qingfan appear. Apparently the "Qingxu Sect" arranged for the disciples to wait for Xu Qingfan to finish his retreat.

"Congratulations to Senior Xu for coming out of seclusion."

Two Qingxu disciples bowed to Xu Qingfan and said respectfully.

then. Then I saw a Qingxu disciple saying: "Junior, I will inform Master Uncle Mo immediately and ask senior to wait a moment."

With that said, the disciple quickly flew away with his weapon into the distance.

Xu Qingfan smiled and nodded, and asked another Qingxu disciple: "Excuse me, friend, how much time did I spend in this retreat?"

The disciple said respectfully: "Reporting to Senior, Senior spent a whole hundred days in retreat."

Xu Qingfan nodded silently.

At this moment, I saw three or two auspicious clouds suddenly floating in the distance, seeming to be slow but actually fast. In the blink of an eye, they landed in front of Xu Qingfan. Xu Qingfan took a closer look and saw that it was Mo Ziliang and two elders Qingxu who he had met several times before.

After seeing Xu Qingfan, the three Qingxu elders were all stunned. Apparently, they discovered the changes in Xu Qingfan's realm. Three months ago, Xu Qingfan was only a monk in the middle stage of Xudan. Now he has only been in seclusion for more than three months. After reaching the late stage of virtual elixir, there is only a thin line between it and the real elixir stage. I was surprised in my heart.

But these elders are all experienced people. Although he was surprised by Xu Qingfan's rapid increase in skill during this period, he knew that this belonged to Xu Qingfan. So his face was calm, and he just congratulated Xu Qingfan. Even someone as unsophisticated as Mo Ziliang. He also resisted asking under the looks of the two elders nearby.

Seeing such a scene, Xu Qingfan breathed a sigh of relief. After all, it was troublesome to explain this kind of thing.

But after Mo Ziliang congratulated him, he asked, "Fellow Daoist Xu, what are your plans after this retreat? Do you want to stay in my Ronghua Mountain for a while, or continue to travel down the mountain?"

Xu Qingfan smiled and said: "I came out of the Southern Wilderness this time just to travel around the vast land of China, but it is inconvenient to stay in Ronghua Mountain any longer. So after bidding farewell to Senior Zizhen, I will continue to travel. , please forgive me, fellow Taoists.”

Hearing Xu Qingfan's words. Mo Ziliang sighed regretfully, but now that the "Qingxu Sect" has undergone major changes and there are many things going on, it is inconvenient to retain Xu Qingfan, so he just said regretfully: "In that case, I need to ask fellow Taoists to take more care."

After a pause, Mo Ziliang continued: "But I'm afraid I won't be able to see Master Zizhen, fellow Taoist Xu, because on the day of Xu's retreat, Master Zizhen suddenly went down the mountain and disappeared without a trace. He just left a message to fellow Taoist before going down the mountain, saying The current situation in the world of immortality is treacherous, so fellow Taoists should return to the mountain as soon as possible to avoid getting involved in unnecessary disputes. "

Hearing Mo Ziliang's words, Xu Qingfan nodded silently, but was surprised in his heart. Now that the strength of "Qingxu Sect" is greatly damaged, it stands to reason that Immortal Zizhen should stay in "Qingxu Sect" to guard against accidents, but He suddenly went out, and his purpose was thought-provoking.

Although he didn't know the specific purpose of Immortal Zizhen's outing this time, Xu Qingfan thought of the strange look on Immortal Zizhen's face when he saw Liu Huaxiang's letter before, and vaguely felt in his heart that Immortal Zizhen's outing this time might have something to do with that letter. .

Then, Xu Qingfan ignored Mo Ziliang and others' attempts to stay and insisted on going down the mountain that day. After all, he had been out for more than half a year, so Xu Qingfan felt that it would be better for him to fulfill Liu Huaxiang's last wish and return to the mountain as soon as possible.

Seeing that Xu Qingfan did not want to stay, Mo Ziliang had no choice but to respectfully send Xu Qingfan away from "Ronghua Mountain". However, before Xu Qingfan left, he gave Xu Qingfan more than a thousand spiritual stones and dozens of bottles of elixir, but Immortal Zizhen came down the mountain. The land was originally planned to be given to Xu Qingfan.

Xu Qingfan knew that this should be the tribute he deserved as an honorary elder of Qingxu. Knowing that he could not refuse, he stopped being polite and put it directly into his sleeves. He reluctantly bid farewell to the Qingxu crowd in Mo Ziliang's land. Elder Xu bowed his hands and said goodbye.

"Next, it's time to fulfill Uncle Liu's third last wish. Compared to the previous two, this one is much easier. I just hope there won't be any extra trouble."

After leaving "Ronghua Mountain", Xu Qingfan was flying quickly towards the north of Ronghua while flying against the clouds, while thinking secretly in his heart.

But just as Xu Qingfan was thinking about it, something strange happened.

On the left side of Xu Qingfan's body, the space suddenly fluctuated strangely. But just before Xu Qingfan noticed the abnormality, a man in purple suddenly appeared in the space fluctuations, turned into a purple light, and moved towards Xu Qingfan with extremely terrifying speed. Come quickly.

Xu Qingfan was shocked, but it was too late to resist. In addition, the speed was so fast. With Xu Qingfan's speed, he only had time to turn slightly, and then he felt a sharp pain in his chest. Waiting for Ziying As he flashed by, Xu Qingfan's heart was already a bloody mess.

But fortunately Xu Qingfan reacted quickly. Although the wound on Xu Qingfan's chest looked scary, it was just a flesh wound. If Xu Qingfan's reaction had been slower just now, Xu Qingfan's heart would have been gouged out by the purple shadow at this time.

Xu Qingfan endured the severe pain in his chest, and the "life energy" in his body circulated rapidly. When it passed through Xu Qingfan's chest, he saw that the blood in the wound on Xu Qingfan's chest stopped immediately and was slowly healing at the same time.

At the same time, Xu Qingfan turned around and looked towards the place where the purple shadow flashed, but now three feet away from his right side, two people in purple clothes appeared at an unknown time, staring at it with a playful look on their faces. Xu Qingfan couldn't stop watching.

But his dress was exactly the same as the man in purple that Xu Qingfan killed before! !
