The Path to Immortality

Faced with Fang Ping's question, Liao Yongzhu smiled bitterly.

He said, "If you say you haven't thought about it, you must be lying."

"But Fellow Daoist Fang doesn't know that it's not that easy to get the opportunity in the tower. Any cultivator who wants to try must pay 50,000 low-grade spirit stones to open the entrance."

"In addition to spirit stones, each cultivator has only one challenge opportunity. If you can't succeed once, you will never be eligible to enter again in the future."

"That's why cultivators who are at least in the late stage of foundation building or even in the perfect stage of foundation building will choose to use that only one chance to enter the tower to challenge."

Each person can only challenge once?

This restriction is nothing. Many places of inheritance left by senior cultivators have similar rules and restrictions.

The same is true for the place of inheritance laid by Tianfeng Patriarch.

However, the ticket price of 50,000 spirit stones is indeed a bit too much.

Unless it is a master of alchemy like Fang Ping, other foundation building cultivators may have to go bankrupt to exchange for such an illusory challenge opportunity.

But if you think about it carefully, this move is not unreasonable.

The Guangjin Master obviously doesn't think highly of this little spiritual stone.

The most likely purpose of this move is to replenish the spiritual energy in the tower and maintain the operation of the inheritance place.

At the same time, this hard threshold can also make those cultivators with ordinary strength who just come to challenge with a fluke mentality retreat, so as to avoid the pagoda from becoming a vegetable market.

"Fifty thousand spiritual stones are obviously nothing to Senior Brother Qin. With his natural spiritual roots and the cultivation of our Luoyang Sect's sect-guarding skills, he may have a chance to succeed in the challenge and obtain the opportunity to form a golden elixir. Perhaps, in just a year or two, our Luoyang Sect will be able to add a new golden elixir ancestor!"

At this point, Liao Yongzhu's eyes were filled with envy that could not be concealed.

Knowing that the opportunity to form a golden elixir was there, but he did not have the strength, and he was reluctant to take out 50,000 spiritual stones to try his luck. He could only watch other sons of Tianjiao stride forward on the path of golden elixir, and he could only watch from afar.

Any cultivator who has some ambitions for immortality can understand the feeling of loss and disappointment.

Fang Ping can understand Liao Yongzhu's feelings, but their situations are different after all.

Spiritual stones are nothing to him, and it is only a matter of time for him to complete the foundation building.

On the contrary, the number of opportunities for forming a golden elixir in the tower seems more serious.

If Qin Tongyue returns without success this time, Fang Ping will definitely go to the tower in Huizhen Mountain before forming a golden elixir.

Even if the last opportunity is taken away, it doesn't matter.

Fang Ping will naturally try to search for opportunities for forming a golden elixir from other places, which will not affect his determination to achieve the golden elixir.

Liao Yongzhu didn't think that the cultivators around him had such ambitions. As far as he knew, although Fang Ping was proficient in alchemy and fighting, his spiritual root aptitude was too poor. It was said that he barely achieved the foundation building when he was about to pass the foundation building deadline.

If nothing unexpected happens, he will probably stay at the foundation-building stage for the rest of his life.

With this factor, in his eyes, he and Fang Ping are roughly the same kind of people, and they can sympathize with each other.

Fortunately, after so many years of building the foundation, Liao Yongzhu has already fully understood and prepared for the fact that he has no hope of forming a pill.

Some of the feelings and self-pity that came and went quickly.

In a moment, he adjusted himself, waved to Fang Ping, and walked into his cabin.

Fang Ping was the only one left on the empty flying boat deck.

As for ordinary Qi training disciples, in order to prevent them from mixing with the Ten Thousand Demons Alliance and passing on information on the way, they are not allowed to go to the deck after the flying boat sets off until it arrives, and can only stay in the flying boat cabin.

This rule is a bit inhumane to Qi training disciples, but considering the safety along the way, it is a necessary move.

At this moment, he stood alone on the bow of the flying boat traveling through the clouds, looking at the sea of ​​clouds and the horizon in the distance through the restrictions of the flying boat.

For a moment, he actually felt a kind of loneliness that was too cold at high altitudes.

At the same time, he couldn't help but feel free and unrestrained.

If he came to this world from another world, if it wasn't by chance that he became a cultivator of the immortal sect, but unfortunately spent his life as a mortal, how could he experience the vastness of this world?

However, the life of a cultivator in the foundation building realm is only a short two hundred years, which is simply insignificant compared to this world that has gone through vicissitudes of life and remains unchanged.

"Golden Core Realm!"

Fang Ping turned around again and glanced at the southwest, and a few sighs returned to calm.

………

In a flash, several days passed.

The flying boat crossed the Fuliang Mountains that stretched for tens of thousands of miles and entered the territory of the northern part of Liang State and Cangjian Tower.

At this point, we have entered the most dangerous area of ​​the entire journey - at least in the past few years.

Some of the demon cultivators who sneaked into Liang State are active in this area, specifically attacking the flying boats heading to Mingyun Fairy City. Although not every attack was successful, it still caused a lot of losses to the Fairy Alliance.

For this reason, Cangjianlou even organized a group of foundation-building cultivators, relying on the speed and combat power of sword cultivators, to patrol several routes that flying boats often travel, but still could not prevent such attacks.

Jiang Chong, who was in charge of this mission, obviously knew that there might be danger here.

He did not hesitate to consume spirit stones to speed up the three flying boats and move at full speed towards the Anmingshan camp.

If they maintain this speed, they will reach the destination of this trip in five days at the fastest and six or seven days at the slowest.

Perhaps it was good luck, the next two days were still calm.

Seeing that they were getting closer and closer to the rear defense line of Mingyun Immortal City, even the most cautious cultivators gradually put their minds at ease, thinking that the demon cultivators should not dare to attack.

This is also normal. The return of Yuanji Zhenren has greatly shaken the morale of the demon cultivators.

They are busy shrinking their defenses and responding to the counterattack in the near future. How dare they sneak into Liang State to attack the flying boat transporting people?

In this atmosphere, the flying boat spent another half a day safely and approached the pass of Daiyuan Mountain.

At this time, a team of foundation-building sword cultivators flew from the direction of the distant pass.

Seeing several sword lights approaching, the foundation-building cultivator surnamed Liu, who was sitting on the deck of the front [Tianchan Boat], looked at them for a few times, and the vigilance that had just risen in his heart was immediately eliminated.

Those foundation-building sword cultivators were wearing the robes of disciples of the Cangjian Tower, with the Cangjian Order tied around their waists. They were in teams of five. No matter how you looked at it, they were sword cultivators sent by the Cangjian Tower to patrol this area.

However, Liu, the foundation-building cultivator, had traveled a lot and knew that just because they looked like someone, it didn't mean they were.

He followed the agreed response method and promptly sent a message to inform the other foundation-building cultivators in the cabin and on the two flying boats behind him of the situation.

The five Cangjian Tower cultivators seemed to know that the oncoming flying boat might be wary of their identities. They slowed down on their own initiative when they were still hundreds of feet away.

Only the leading foundation-building sword cultivator rode the sword light and came, as if he had something to ask.

This action clearly showed that they had no hostility.

After all, how could a mere foundation-building cultivator threaten three flying boats?

Liu, the foundation-building cultivator, basically confirmed that these five people were sword cultivators from the Cangjian Tower.

He slowly stood up from the deck, ready to greet the fellow Taoist who came forward to talk.
