Seeking Immortality

"Please help me, venerable ones." Xu Qingfan knelt down to Xuanxian and others, and said sincerely.

When Xu Qingfan agreed to Xu Lin to adopt Ting'er, he never thought that Ting'er was also the former owner of the magic bead. Moreover, Xu Qingfan had been alone for too long, and he really wanted to have a relative to accompany him. It was natural that he wished that he could have a relative to accompany him and raise her to adulthood. So Xu Qingfan agreed to Xu Lin's request without hesitation.

But Xu Qingfan found out later that Ting'er was actually the former owner of the magic bead like Xu Lin, and her body had been transformed by the magic bead when she was ten years old. In the world of cultivating immortals, anything involving the magic bead is different. Especially after everyone had just seen the power of the magic bead.

With Na Xiu's mortal body, he could easily defeat two immortal cultivators in the Jindan stage after possessing the magic bead. If the cultivators of Ku Xiu Valley had not used a sneak attack to knock down Na Xiu's magic bead, it would definitely not be that easy to defeat Na Xiu. At least if Na Xiu wanted to escape, there was no way to stop him. And this was when Na Xiu had not yet fully mastered the power of the magic bead. If Na Xiu fully mastered the power of the magic bead, his strength would at least double. The power of the magic bead can be seen.

So when the people of Ku Xiu Valley arrived at this barbarian village, they did not hesitate to use large-scale Taoist magic to kill all the demon soldiers and mutated low-level monsters here. Even after Na Xiu completely lost his resistance, everyone collectively decided to kill Na Xiu to eliminate future troubles. Because in the minds of immortal cultivators, everything related to the magic bead is extremely dangerous to the immortal cultivation world.

Xu Qingfan knew that these cultivators of Ku Xiu Valley must have discovered Ting'er's abnormality as early as when she appeared. Although Xu Lin's voice was weak and low when he told Ting'er's past, there must be no secrets in front of these cultivators with profound skills. Therefore, the fact that Ting'er was the master of the magic bead must not be hidden from the cultivators of Ku Xiu Valley. Now Ting'er, let alone letting Xu Qingfan adopt her, it is difficult to guarantee her life safety. So after Xu Lin died, Xu Qingfan didn't care about grieving and comforting Ting'er, but was busy kneeling and begging Xuanxian and others.

Xu Qingfan didn't know that these powerful Kuxiu Valley monks were now in a state of indecision.

They could kill Na Xiu and the demon soldiers under Na Xiu without hesitation because they had clearly learned from Xuan Xiu's report that these people had done many things that hurt the heaven and earth in the Southern Wilderness, so killing them could be said to be acting on behalf of heaven. But Ting'er was only a thirteen-year-old girl, and she had never done anything wrong, and she had no power at all. It was impossible for the monks to kill Ting'er, a little girl who had no resistance at all, with the words "She may have been changed by the magic bead and may do evil in the future." Let alone that they couldn't bear to do this, even if they really did it, the prestige of Kuxiu Valley for many years would be ruined after it was spread out.

Imprison Ting'er? That's even more impossible. Everyone in Kuxiu Valley is a cultivator who absorbs the energy of heaven and earth for their own use. Naturally, they don't have to worry about food and drink, but Ting'er is just a mortal. If she doesn't have food and drink, she will starve to death. But the terrible thing is that everyone in Kuxiu Valley can be said to be one-to-two in terms of cultivation and Taoism, but they really don't have that ability to cook for mortals. The most important thing is that the cultivators in Kuxiu Valley are all yearning for the way of immortality. They usually spend their time on cultivation. How can they have time to take care of a mortal little girl?

In this way, the cultivators in Kuxiu Valley can neither kill nor imprison Ting'er, and they can't help but worry.

Hearing Xu Qingfan's words, the cultivators in Kuxiu Valley were silent for a long time. Finally, an old voice asked: "Little Taoist friend, do you want to continue to adopt this girl?"

"That's right." Xu Qingfan nodded and said in a deep voice.

"Little Taoist friend, do you know that this girl has been recognized by the magic bead before, and her character may have changed. If you adopt her, you may be harmed by her in the future." Xuanxian beside him also asked in a deep voice.

"Junior knows. Although she was indeed recognized by the magic bead, she is indeed the only one of my clansmen left in the world." Xu Qingfan first expressed his determination in a deep voice, and then, Xu Qingfan's voice turned high and continued: "Let's not talk about whether Ting'er's character was really changed by the magic bead. Even if it was, I am confident that I can change Ting'er's character. Although the magic bead is strange, it was refined by people after all. It is just an artifact used by people. Are we not as good as an artifact?"

Now in order to persuade the many cultivators of Kuxiu Valley to let him adopt Ting'er, Xu Qingfan no longer cares about being polite.

After hearing Xu Qingfan's words, the Kuxiu Valley cultivators on the field fell silent again.

"Actually, fellow Taoists, don't worry."

In the silence, a young man's voice suddenly came, and the voice was erratic, making it impossible to determine the location. And although the voice sounded young, Xu Qingfan seemed to be able to hear a kind of precipitation of years from it.

"Could it be a senior who has achieved the reversal of time and regained his youth again?" After hearing this voice, Xu Qingfan was shocked and guessed secretly.

Sure enough, as this young voice fell, nearly a hundred monks in the Kuxiu Valley in the sky and on the ground bowed their heads and said in unison: "Fellow Taoist Xuan Moda, please speak."

"As far as I know, the magic bead cannot change a person's mind for no reason. Only when the person it encounters has an evil thought in the heart, can it use its power to expand the evil thought infinitely. So throughout the ages The masters of the magic beads are all extremely evil people, because all intelligent people have some evil thoughts deep in their hearts. But the situation of Ting'er in front of her is different. According to Na Xiu, Ting'er was possessed by the devil. Zhu was just ten years old when she recognized her master. She was innocent and romantic. As a child, how could she have any evil thoughts in her heart? So the magic beads probably did not change her character. "

"So, senior, you have promised me to adopt Ting'er?" After hearing this, Xu Qingfan was overjoyed and couldn't help but ask loudly.

"Of course, we, the immortal cultivators, have always gone against heaven, seizing the essence of the world for our own benefit, and have committed such a huge crime. How dare you, my little fellow Taoist, to stop you from adopting a relative and create another evil obstacle?" At that moment, there was a hint of ridicule in Xuan Moda's voice.

But Xu Qingfan was happy at this time, but he didn't care at all, and just thanked him quickly. Suddenly he remembered that any decision in the Valley of Penance was made collectively by all the monks, so he hurriedly asked the monks in the sky: "I wonder what the other seniors think?"

"Since fellow Taoist Xuan Mo Da said so, we have no objection."

"What Taoist Taoist Xuan Mo Da said is certainly not false, and we have no objection."

Many monks in the Valley of Penance echoed in the sky. It was obvious that Venerable Xuanmoda had a very high reputation in the Valley of Penance.

"Thank you, Venerable Xuanmoda, thank you all, venerables." Hearing that the monks in the Valley of Penance had agreed to adopt Ting'er, Xu Qingfan was overjoyed and thanked the many monks in the sky.

"There's just something you have to guard against, fellow Taoist." Xuan Moda's voice suddenly sounded again, but this time the voice was subtle and seemed to only ring in Xu Qingfan's ears. Apparently, Xuan Moda was following him using the "sound transmission technique" Xu Qingfan spoke.

"Your Majesty, please speak." Xu Qingfan said respectfully.

"Although this Ting'er has not become evil because of the magic beads, the energy of the magic beads is weird after all. Judging from Ting'er's complexion and expression, I am afraid that the magic beads still have an influence on her, and her character may change in the future. Extremely indifferent. And after all, you killed Naxiu with your own hands, and Ting'er saw it with your own eyes. Although she didn't say anything now, she may not have a desire for revenge in her heart, so you must be careful in the future. It’s best not to teach her any techniques of cultivating immortals. After all, her personality is the easiest to go into evil ways. The greater the ability, the greater the harm. Let’s just say this and be friendly to others.”

Hearing Xuan Moda's words, Xu Qingfan's heart suddenly shook. Just now, he was first sad about Xu Lin's death, and then worried that the many monks in the Kuxiu Valley would be harmful to Ting'er. Only now, after being reminded by Xuan Moda, did Xu Qingfan realize that he had just done so in front of Ting'er. He killed her father. How much harm will this cause to Ting'er's young mind? Xu Qingfan couldn't imagine it.

With this feeling of worry, Xu Qingfan couldn't help but turn his head to look at Ting'er, only to see that Ting'er was still standing quietly next to Xu Lin's body, but she was no longer just staring at Xu Lin like before. Instead, he turned his head and stared at Xu Qingfan silently, his eyes and expression as cold as ever. Under the early morning sun, the flame pattern on Ting'er's face looked even more sinister.

Seeing Ting'er's cold expression, Xu Qingfan couldn't help but feel a slight chill in his heart for some reason.
