The Path to Immortality

Southwest of Liang State, Cangyue Mountain.

This mountain is located in a group of mountains that stretch for thousands of miles. The mountain is full of spiritual vitality and gathers auspiciousness.

The main peak, Luoyun Peak, is surrounded by clouds all year round, a scene of a blessed land for immortals.

This place is the mountain gate station of the famous immortal sect in the entire Liang State's immortal cultivation world - [Luoyang Sect].

Although it is not enough to compare with the Qingxu Sect and Cangjianlou Sect, it is enough to rank third among the five major immortal sects in Liang State, and it is stable and suppresses the Hehuan Sect and the Lingshou Sect.

In the eyes of ordinary casual cultivators and cultivator families, it is a behemoth that cannot be provoked.

This day.

In the courtyard of the outer disciples at Tiandu Peak of Cangyue Mountain.

A young man lying on the ground, wearing the clothes of an outer disciple of Luoyang Sect and without any breath, suddenly moved slightly and sat up from the ground.

Before he could figure out where he was and what had happened, a large amount of residual memory information flooded into his mind, making his eyes go dark. He couldn't bear the huge amount of information and fainted again.

………

One month later.

As a former time traveler, the young man named Fang Ping, who had just completed a chores task as an outer disciple, walked in from outside with a calm face.

After all, Luoyang Sect is a big sect, even outer disciples are assigned to a separate courtyard.

The courtyard has a simple ban, which only has the effect of preventing outsiders from entering and leaving at will. It is not even the most basic formation, but it still provides a rare privacy space for the disciples.

After opening the ban with the disciple identity token and entering the courtyard, he was slightly relieved and looked a little relaxed.

During this period of time, he has gradually adapted to his new identity and has not aroused suspicion from others. And a few days ago, he sorted out the messy information he received and finally figured out what happened to the original body.

Possession!

To be precise, it was a Nascent Soul Master who was seriously injured while exploring ancient ruins. He was forced to abandon his physical body and escape with his Nascent Soul. Unfortunately, he happened to find his original body and was ready to take over his body and be reborn.

However, the Nascent Soul Master who called himself [Qingyang Master] was so seriously injured that even his Nascent Soul was on the verge of breaking.

Taking over another body is also an act against heaven, and there will be disasters in the dark.

As a result, the dignified Nascent Soul Master actually died together with his original body, an outer disciple of the Luoyang Sect who only had the second level of Qi training!

At this time, Fang Ping, who died suddenly due to working overtime 996, traveled from another world and picked up a new body for free. He was able to replace his original body and continue to survive.

"I have to say that Qingyang Master is really unlucky..."

Thinking back at this moment, Fang Ping couldn't help but feel pity for the great monk who lived for more than 800 years.

Even if he survived the catastrophe by chance and succeeded in taking over another body, he would immediately discover a more desperate fact: the cultivation aptitude of this body is very low, only at the level of four spiritual roots, and the quality is extremely poor.

It is only slightly better than the most mediocre five spiritual roots.

It is as difficult as ascending to heaven to cultivate back to the Nascent Soul Realm.

Under normal circumstances, even the qualification of the outer sect disciple of Luoyang Sect may not be his turn.

It was because of the little legacy left by his elders who died in the battle for Luoyang Sect that he was able to skip the assessment and process and directly enter the outer sect.

"Perishing together on the spot may not be a bad thing for that Qingyang Zhenren. Otherwise, the huge gap after taking over the body may make him more desperate."

But everything is balanced.

Qingyang Zhenren and the original body were in bad luck, and someone had to benefit.

Because of the failure of taking over the body, Qingyang Zhenren's true spirit was completely annihilated. None of the countless skills and Taoist arts he mastered could be passed down.

But a treasure that was brought by the Nascent Soul of Qingyang Zhenren was lost.

Fang Ping, who remembered this, released an ancient purple gold tripod from his Dantian.

This tripod came from an ancient site called [Yuanshi Sect].

Before Qingyang Zhenren died, he made an appointment with six Nascent Soul Zhenren to explore the site together. After discovering the treasure left in the Dan Palace of Yuanshi Sect, the Nascent Soul Zhenren fought each other.

Qingyang Zhenren was not weak in strength, but he was greedy. After grabbing a thousand-year-old elixir, he was still not satisfied and even tried to get his hands on this most eye-catching tripod.

In the melee, he did grab the purple gold tripod, but he was also besieged by all the Nascent Soul Zhenren, including two late Nascent Soul great monks.

The result is predictable. True Man Qingyang died on the spot and was forced to abandon his physical body. His Nascent Soul carried the tripod with him, and with the help of the space crack caused by the self-destruction of his own life magic weapon, he luckily crossed the void and was moved to the Liang Kingdom cultivation world.

The next scene was the scene of the original body being possessed.

According to the little memory information left by True Man Qingyang, the ruins of the Yuanshi Sect were extremely terrifying.

Even after ten thousand years, the arrangement inside could still easily kill True Man Yuanying.

Moreover, the Dan Palace explored by the True Man Yuanying was only a part of the ruins. The main peak of the sect was guarded by another ban, which could not be shaken even if the True Man joined forces.

This ancient sect, which was destroyed for unknown reasons, was probably more amazing than True Man Qingyang guessed!

"What level of treasure must the tripod be that could attract the great cultivators of the Nascent Soul to fight desperately and make True Man Qingyang take it with him even if he did not hesitate to self-destruct his life magic weapon when he escaped?"

In Fang Ping's impression, the Jindan ancestors of the Liang Kingdom cultivation world were lucky to have a few magic weapons.

If one had a lower-grade spiritual treasure, it would be enough to suppress the fortune of the sect.

But this purple-gold tripod might be something beyond the existence of a spiritual treasure.

"But, such a mysterious treasure, which can be easily stored in the treasure tripod in my body, what is the use of it?"

Looking at the purple gold treasure tripod in front of him, Fang Ping couldn't help but be quite puzzled.

Since he traveled through time, he has repeatedly tried and explored the use of the treasure tripod.

He has input mana, dripped blood to recognize the owner, roasted it with spiritual fire, and tried to ask if there are ring spirits like the old grandfather, or systems like Deep Blue, but no matter how he tried, he didn't get any response.

"Is my strength too weak and my realm not enough to trigger the treasure tripod; or have I not found the key to the entry?"

According to common sense, since it was found in the Alchemy Palace and it is a treasure tripod, it is likely related to alchemy.

Does he need to try this?

For a while, Fang Ping was a little undecided.

The way of alchemy is profound and profound. It is the first among the hundred arts of cultivating immortals and has a very high threshold. Only the art of formation, which stands at the top of the contempt chain, can suppress the way of alchemy.

There is a saying that goes around in the Liang Kingdom's immortal cultivation world: alchemy will make three generations poor, and refining equipment will ruin your life.

It means that unless you are extremely talented, it will take a lifetime of effort for a cultivator to become an equipment refiner.

And the cost of training an alchemist is even more staggering. It may not be successful even if it takes the efforts of three generations of a cultivator family!

While hesitating, Fang Ping thought of his poor qualifications of four spiritual roots and extremely poor appearance.

It was okay in the early stage of Qi training, and the speed of strength improvement was relatively fast.

In the middle and late stages of Qi training, each level improvement may take five or even ten years for his qualifications.

It is well known that the best age for Qi training cultivators to build a foundation is no more than sixty years old, otherwise the success rate will become lower and lower due to the decline of the physical body and Qi and blood.

This body is now over twenty years old, and the time left for him is only forty years at most.

This does not include the small bottlenecks that may exist from the middle to the late stage of Qi training, and the various preparations that need to be made for the foundation after the ninth level of Qi training.

If these are taken into account, the time left for him will be even less.

Hard training alone is far from enough!

"Purple gold tripod, alchemy!"

Fang Ping pondered for a moment, and gradually made a decision in his heart.

He planned to try the alchemy for the time being to confirm whether this purple gold tripod can help him.

If not, he would decisively stop the loss.

This decision may drag down his progress in cultivation for a period of time. But even so, Fang Ping must make a try.

He had a feeling that this mysterious tripod was likely to contain amazing secrets!
