The Terrifying Path of Immortal Cultivation

Li Qing's murmurs in his heart.

The old man suddenly spoke again, "Li Xiaoyou, I have a deal."

"Are you willing to talk about it?"

Upon hearing this, Li Qing felt helpless in his heart, "Since you have spoken, can I not talk?"

In his heart, he complained and nodded, "I don't know what you want to discuss or what trade you want to make?"

A hint of a smile appeared on the old man's face as he looked outside.

"Long'er, come in!"

As the words fell, the doors of the palace suddenly opened.

A figure walked in from outside, swaying and looking carefree, a little brat of about 10 years old.

Wearing a gorgeous black dragon robe, with two small deer horns on his head, this was clearly the dragon son of the Dragon Palace.

Li Qing pondered and looked calmly at the old man.

The little brat came to the hall, rushed up the steps, and jumped into the old dragon's arms.

"Grandpa! Why did you call me just now? I've been waiting outside for a while."

"Look, my legs are sore."

Saying this, he lifted his legs and casually placed them on the old man's desk.

A kind smile appeared on the old man's face as he reached out to massage the boy's legs.

"Grandpa will massage your legs so they won't be sore."

The little brat had big eyes, full of shrewdness, and looked at Li Qing.

Full of curiosity and cunning, a strange smile flashed across his face.

The old dragon looked at Li Qing and said slowly.

"This is my grandson, Ao Long'er."

Li Qing nodded at the words, murmuring in his heart, "It's strange, no matter which world's mythical legend, the Dragon Race is surnamed Ao, why is it so uniform?"

Naturally, the old man did not know Li Qing's murmurs, otherwise, he might have pulled him up and given him a beating.

"My deal is related to my grandson,"

"I see that you seem to be an independent cultivator without a master."

"But from what I observe, your mysterious Essence Qi seems to contain everything, it seems that you have taken a path that no one has taken before."

Li Qing's heart jumped upon hearing this.

The old man said with a smile that was not a smile, "You have just stepped into the Immortal Dao, you may not understand."

"In the eyes of some powerful individuals, your situation is like a bright lamp, transparent at a glance."

"Your Essence Qi permeates your whole body, as one, without any conflict."

"This is a method of cultivation that has never appeared before. Although I don't know how you did it?"

"But I know one thing, if you can continue to develop, in the future, there will be a place for you in this world."

"I'm not sure how far this path can go, but the potential is unlimited."

"I have two things here."

With that, a gray bead appeared in his hand.

And a strange token.

"This is a Concealment Bead. You only need to refine it with your Essence Qi, and your aura can be completely concealed, making you appear completely ordinary."

"Without achieving longevity, hardly anyone can see through it."

"This will ensure your worry-free cultivation along this path."

"This second token is from Jixia Academy."

"Jixia Academy is a Grotto-Heaven jointly established by the Hundred Schools of Thought and the Confucian School."

"There, you will find all the legacies of the Hundred Schools of Thought, and 70% of the legacies of independent cultivators in the world come from there."

"If you want to go further, that will be the best place for you."

"This token was obtained by me in my early years."

"I once saved a person from Jixia Academy."

"If you hold this token, you will be able to enter the gates of Jixia Academy."

"Your path can then continue."

"As for how far you can go in the future, it will depend on your own abilities."

Li Qing listened to the old man's words, and his heart pounded. The other party had pointed out many problems.

The path he was taking, the "All-Encompassing Heaven and Earth Mortal Dao Technique" of Myriad Laws Unified Harmony, indeed had earth-shattering potential.

But it was easily exposed, especially under the gaze of some powerful beings.

Once captured and studied, it would be disastrous.

The other party not only proposed a solution, but also found a direction for his future path. Li Qing couldn't help but be moved.

Even for his own safety, he must obtain the Concealment Bead.

Taking a deep breath, "So what are the conditions?"

There's no such thing as a free lunch in the world, and Li Qing was naturally aware of this.

"I can hold on for another 200 years."

"But after 200 years, I'm afraid I will either die or achieve longevity."

"But no matter which one, I won't be here after 200 years."

"I want you to be a support for my dragon son after 200 years."

"To resist his enemies."

"Of course, the premise is that you can handle it."

"If at that time you are also unable to confront these enemies, you must find a way to save my dragon son's life."

Li Qing frowned slightly upon hearing this, "Who are the enemies? Are there many?"

The old man pondered for a moment, "There are two great rivers in this world."

One is the Pu River, and the other is the Tai River."

Each river has a Dragon Palace."

"If you can obtain both rivers, you can tap into the great fortune of the rivers and have a greater chance of advancement."

"The first enemy is the Dragon Palace of the Tai River."

"Secondly, there are four seas in the four corners of the world."

"The four seas also have Dragon Palaces, which are also great enemies."

Li Qing, upon hearing this, was on the verge of cursing.

His expression changed, "This is a bit exaggerated, I'm just a small Essence Refinement cultivator."

"To confront five Dragon Palaces after 200 years is simply impossible."

The old man looked at him, "That's why I said, if you really can't protect him, just save his life."

"I have a back-up plan. If they push too hard, they will have to face the consequences."

"You just need to take my dragon son away in the end."

"Take the treasures I have prepared and let him live in seclusion, waiting for the right time."

"You won't lose out in this deal."

Li Qing took a deep breath and looked at the old man in front of him, "Why did you choose me?"

"In 200 years, I'm afraid I won't reach your current level."

The old man looked at him calmly, "I chose you because you have no fate on you."

"It seems that all fates have nothing to do with you, as if you don't exist in this world."

"And that's why I chose you."

"Not being bound by fate means you have infinite possibilities."

"Of course, it also means that you could die at any time."

Upon hearing this, Li Qing's heart suddenly felt cold, and he thought of something.

"Is there a spell in this world that can calculate the secrets of the heavens?"

"Calculate the past, present, and future?"

The old man smiled knowingly, "I know what you want to ask, don't worry."

"No one in this world can calculate you."

"By following you, my dragon son will have at least a chance to survive after 200 years."

"Using your lack of fate to cover his fate."

"So you must hide well, before you achieve great cultivation, you must not attract anyone's attention."

"You must hide well to live long."
