The Path to Immortality

"That's all, the left and right can only contribute four hundred sects, change it!"

For such things as alchemy, each additional one is equivalent to one more way to make money for the alchemist.

If you get it first, you won’t lose money at any time!

After calculating the remaining contributions, Fang Ping thought about it briefly and replaced it with five boxes of [Li Yun Ling Tea] that can be drank for a long time and can slowly increase spiritual consciousness, as well as a two-hundred-year-old elixir, plus some fragmentary formations. materials, and then left the Shanggong Hall.

Afterwards, Fang Ping turned around and flew towards the Sutra Pavilion.

[Fire Heart Curse] is a secret technique that can increase the success rate of forming pills, so naturally it needs to be secured as soon as possible.

Fang Ping was not yet qualified to enter or leave the fifth floor of the Sutra Pavilion, so after arriving, he directly found a deacon of the Sutra Pavilion and told him his intention.

However, the deacon of the Sutra Pavilion also cannot enter or exit the fifth floor at will.

He had no choice but to go around, take Fang Ping's voucher, and ask the elder who guarded the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, who always kept a low profile, to help him complete the rubbing.

"By the way, there's one more thing."

After the exchange was completed and he was about to return to the Lingbaofeng cave, Fang Ping suddenly remembered something, pondered for a moment, turned around and flew towards Shen Huaiqian's cave.

After all, they had been friends for ten years, and now that Shen Daoyou had passed away, Fang Ping planned to go over to express his condolences.

Under normal circumstances, when a foundation-building monk dies, the cave where he lives must be vacated.

But Shen Huaiqian committed suicide after all, so the sect would naturally not be harsh on Shen Huaiqian's Taoist companions and children.

Not only can one of the descendants be cared for, but those with insufficient spiritual qualifications can also enter the outer gate. Taoist companions and other children can also live in the cave temporarily for several years without being asked to move out immediately.

Because of this, there is a high probability that Shen Huaiqian's wife, daughter and descendants are still living in his original cave.

………

Once upon a time, as the deacon of Dantang, Shen Huaiqian had a considerable status in the sect even though he was from another sect.

Normally, there is never a shortage of monks outside the cave who come to visit or seek elixirs.

But since Shen Huaiqian's death, this luxurious cave mansion located on the mountainside of Luo Yunfeng has quickly fallen into neglect, with few people paying attention to it.

Even the spiritual fields outside the cave were abandoned after the last harvest, and no one was planting them anymore.

It is normal for people to drink cold tea, let alone in the world of immortality where people are relatively indifferent.

He put away his escape light and landed outside the deserted cave.

"Is this the cave of fellow Taoist Shen Huai and Qian Shen?"

Fang Ping asked loudly, using his magic power to slightly touch the restriction.

After a while, the cave restrictions were slowly opened, and a female cultivator with a haggard expression walked out of the cave.

She looks like she is still in her forties, and her charm is still there, but it is obvious that she has taken pills such as the Dingyan Pill. She is actually much older than she looks, and she has a lingering aura of twilight. .

Sensing the foundation-building aura on Fang Ping's body, the female cultivator had a look of respect on her face and said, "This is indeed the cave of my deceased husband. I wonder who the senior is?"

Fang Ping said calmly: "My name is Fang Ping, and I am also an alchemist from other sects. I was stationed in Fuyunshanfang City with Daoist Shen some time ago. Because the sect has heavy responsibilities, I cannot return to the sect. Today, the evil calamity has been put down. The garrison mission is completed, and I came here to express my condolences.”

"So you are Senior Fang..."

The female cultivator had obviously heard Shen Huaiqian mention it more than once, and her face suddenly became a little surprised and a little relieved.

He barely managed to brace himself up and invited Fang Ping in.

Several months have passed since Shen Huaiqian was buried, but the layout of the mourning hall in the cave has still been basically preserved.

Fang Ping silently came to Shen Huaiqian's memorial tablet, lit three sticks of incense and inserted them into the incense burner on the table.

The atmosphere was a little solemn, but in fact, Fang Ping couldn't say he felt much sadness in his heart.

Although his friendship with Shen Huaiqian is not bad, they are at most relatively close Taoist friends. This is more because they are both alchemists from other sects and have helped each other with some small help in the alchemy hall. , just came here for a walk.

Now that the condolences were complete, he calmed down.

He looked at the female cultivator aside and exchanged a few casual greetings.

After learning that the sect's aftermath and compensation had been taken care of, Shen Huaiqian's relics had been returned, and one of his descendants had bowed to the outer sect, Fang Ping nodded, no longer worried.

After a moment of silence, he stood up and left.

The female cultivator took a few steps away, hesitated a little, and suddenly said: "Senior Fang, I heard that your late husband was captured by mistake and finally committed suicide. You were also present. I would like to ask a question, how did my late husband die? Why did he die?"

Among the monks from the sect who had previously sent back Shen Huaiqian's relics, some had an indifferent attitude and vaguely revealed a message that was difficult for the female monks to accept.

"Fellow Daoist Shen was indeed captured by the demon cultivator after falling into a trap and committed suicide... As for whether he took refuge in the demon cultivator?"

Fang Ping turned his back to the female cultivator and did not answer.

But no answer is the clearest answer.

The female cultivator immediately understood something and stood there blankly, looking a little lost.

………

Just half a month after Fang Ping returned to Luoyang Sect.

The Ten Thousand Demons Alliance, which basically brought the Yue Kingdom's immortal world under its control, couldn't wait to mobilize their manpower under the orders of the Demon Lord and launched an all-out attack on Mingyun Immortal City.

Almost immediately, the battle between the Ten Thousand Demons Alliance and the Immortal Alliance broke out again in front of the defense line, which was dominated by Mingyun Immortal City and swept through dozens of large and small immortal cities and strongholds on the border between the two countries.

In addition to Mingyun Immortal City being the focus of the battle between the two sides, the penetration and competition around the medicine gardens and mineral veins in the rear are also very fierce.

It is possible that a fairy city was in the hands of the fairy alliance a few months ago, but it changed hands in just a few days and was captured by the demon cultivators. But it will not be long before it will be recaptured by the cultivators of the fairy alliance.

After the cultivators of Qing and Wei countries also initially pacified the demon calamity, the two countries did not take a break and sent more cultivators and resources to increase the support for the fairy cultivation world of Liang, which finally reduced the pressure on Mingyun Fairy City.

In this tug-of-war, two years passed inadvertently.

………

This day.

In the cave of Lingbao Peak.

Fang Ping, who had just finished practicing the [Da Ri Dharmakaya] magical power, slowly opened his eyes.

After obtaining the [Flame Heart Mantra], a spell that can increase the success rate of Dan formation, Fang Ping couldn't wait to comprehend and try it.

But the result was just as Elder Feng said. Without the support and suppression of the Great Sun Dharmakaya, even if his strong physique could withstand the burning of the heart flame for a few breaths, the operation of the Great Sun True Law in his body would be disturbed, and there would be signs of loss of control or even backlash, making it difficult for the Flame Heart Curse to take effect normally.

After realizing that the Great Sun Dharmakaya was indispensable, Fang Ping made some adjustments to his original time allocation in the next two years of cultivation, and increased his emphasis on the Great Sun Dharmakaya.

At this moment, Fang Ping looked inward at himself with his spiritual consciousness. He had used his magic power to open up a full 160 orifices around his body, and condensed the corresponding Great Sun True Law runes in them.
