The Path to Immortality

The previous owner of the cave had died several years ago.

All of his belongings were taken away by the people from the General Affairs Hall.

At this moment, the cave, which could accommodate more than ten people at the same time, had nothing else except a bed and a set of bluestone tables and chairs.

He took out a piece of bright light stone and placed it on the copper cup on the stone table. The bright light immediately dispelled the darkness of the cave and cast a long shadow of Fang Ping on the cave wall.

Facing this empty cave, Fang Ping actually felt an indescribable sense of coldness and loneliness.

Sitting on the bluestone chair, he was absent-minded for a moment before he calmed down.

"From today on, I will be an inner disciple of the Luoyang Sect!"

Although he didn't care much about this identity and could give it up at any time when necessary. But it must be said that at least for now, obtaining this identity will be of great help to his subsequent practice.

A brand new beginning?

Fang Ping said to himself in his heart, and did not give up his practice because of the hard work during the day.

He took out the cushion he had brought during the day, sat on it, swallowed another Neng Yuan Dan, and began his practice today.

………

The sky was getting brighter.

Fang Ping, who practiced until late at night, did not look tired, but was full of energy and got up early in the morning.

Having just moved to the new cave house of the inner sect, he was destined to be busy these days.

"Well, first send a communication talisman to tell Brother Liu about his promotion to the inner sect, and by the way, agree to visit him in person in some time."

"Then go to the General Affairs Hall to buy some furniture and necessities."

Although Fang Ping was not a person who liked luxury, he did not mind improving his quality of life appropriately.

"By the way, I have to get some seeds of spiritual herbs and spiritual medicines."

Since I had told Jiang Yucheng before that I wanted to open up a medicinal field, I had to get a few spiritual fields even if it was just for show.

Moreover, with the spiritual energy of the inner sect of Luoyang Sect, no matter what was planted in the spiritual field, there would be a stable output every year.

Maybe it's not a big income for him, but it's a free spiritual stone, don't be a fool!

However, Fang Ping needs to spend his time on cultivation, alchemy and formation, and it's impossible for him to do it himself in the matter of opening up the spiritual field.

He also has to find a spiritual plant husband who is good at this to help take care of the spiritual field.

Fortunately, this kind of job is a lucrative one. As long as the news is released, many children of small families who are attached to the sect are willing to fight for an identity. Not to mention that they can take the opportunity to get acquainted with the inner disciples of Luoyang Sect, the spiritual energy of this second-grade spiritual vein alone is far beyond the spiritual land of many small families.

"Forget it, since Senior Brother Jiang tried so hard yesterday, I'll give him this favor. If the person he recommends is not good enough, it won't be too late to consider finding someone else."

After making up his mind, Fang Ping took out two communication talismans, entered the message and activated the talisman, and sent it to Liu Wuchen and Jiang Yucheng respectively.

Then, he flew to the general affairs hall of the inner sect on his sword.

………

As the lowest-ranking hall in the entire sect, the efficiency of the General Affairs Hall is quite high.

Only half a day later, some furniture and supplies purchased by Fang Ping were sent to the outside of the cave.

It took some time to move these items into the cave with magic power. After a little decoration, Fang Ping's new cave finally had a bit of life.

Later, Jiang Yucheng replied with a communication talisman.

He understood Fang Ping's goodwill. He promised to recommend a few suitable candidates to Fang Ping within a month at the latest.

At the end of the reply, Fang Ping was specifically asked about his preferences and inclinations for the candidates.

In this regard, Fang Ping has no special preference, as long as the spiritual plant husband is honest and can endure loneliness and take care of the spiritual field seriously.

After stating his conditions, Fang Ping replied to Jiang Yucheng again, and then returned to the study room specially opened in the cave.

When he went to the General Affairs Hall during the day, he also went to the Sutra Pavilion in the inner gate.

After paying spirit stones, several books were engraved, which could be exchanged without consuming sect contributions, involving the selection of skills and the introduction of superior skills in the sect.

For the newly promoted inner disciples, this free skill exchange opportunity is still very important.

If this opportunity is wasted, I don’t know how much sect contribution will be consumed if I want to choose a superior skill that suits me. Even the subsequent cultivation and foundation building may be affected and dragged down.

For this reason, Fang Ping humbly listened to Jiang Yucheng’s advice and decided to study it carefully before making further considerations.

A week later.

After carefully reading the last book, Fang Ping gradually had a rough consideration in his mind.

He has four spiritual roots, among which the fire spiritual root is slightly better, and the other three are basically the same. Therefore, when choosing a skill, the fire skill must be prioritized.

And the Luoyang Sect’s sect-stabilizing skill, [Dapin Sunset Dongxuan Sutra], happens to be a fire skill that can directly point to the Nascent Soul Stage.

After achieving the Golden Core with this technique, one can also practice the magical power of the technique itself [Great Sun True Fire], which is extremely powerful. It is said that after practicing it, one can be invincible in the same realm.

It can be said that it is difficult to find a better fire technique than this one in the entire Liang Kingdom's cultivation world.

But unfortunately, the Great Sunset Dongxuan Sutra is the Luoyang Sect's unique skill. Only the double spiritual roots and heavenly spiritual roots cultivators who have started from the foundation building, as well as the Golden Core Elders of the sect, can learn it after paying a great price.

But even if the conditions are met, there are not many people who can really practice this technique.

According to the records in the classics, this Nascent Soul technique requires very high comprehension and talent, and a very rare fire-based spiritual material is also needed to assist in the practice.

Even if ordinary cultivators get this technique, they can't practice it at all.

In addition to this optimal option, Luoyang Sect also has a collection of superior techniques that can be practiced to the Golden Core stage, the most famous of which are collectively known as the Four Sunset Techniques.

They are [Xuanwu Chaoyuan Gong], [Wanmu Changqing Jue], [Taiyin Youming Heavy Water Gong], and [Ziyang Zhenjing].

Xuanwu Chaoyuan Gong is a body-refining technique, and Fang Ping has always been on the path of practicing magic, so it is obviously impossible to go back and change to body practice halfway.

Wanmu Changqing Jue is a wood-based technique.

Cultivators with excellent wood-based spiritual roots can live nearly 20% longer than cultivators with other spiritual roots with this technique.

Based on the average lifespan of 500 years for a Golden Core cultivator, they can live a full 100 years longer!

Unfortunately, this technique is not compatible with Fang Ping's spiritual roots.

As for the Taiyin Netherworld Heavy Water Technique, as the name suggests, it is a water-based technique.

It is also not compatible with Fang Ping's spiritual roots.

In this way, the only one that Fang Ping can choose is the last Ziyang Sutra.

This is also a fire-based technique. Although it cannot be compared with the Great Sunset Cave Mysterious Sutra, it is enough for countless casual cultivators and cultivator families to fight for it outside the sect.

"If I can choose it for free, the first target must be the Ziyang Sutra."

"If this technique is not good, the other techniques in the sect will be relatively inferior."

"Of course, these few books introducing techniques that I found obviously cannot include all the techniques in the Sutra Pavilion. There must be omissions. Maybe there are techniques suitable for me..."
