Asking for Immortality in Another World

I've witnessed chaos and the fall of dynasties in the mortal realm. I've seen a wise ruler emerge, reshaping the world's landscapes. In my prime, I stood among the crowd, observing with my hands in my pockets. Later, I learned about immortals, acquired immortal techniques, and embarked on the path of immortality. Along this journey, I faced challenges and stumbled. While geniuses led the era and set trends, I remained a mere bystander in the mortal world, facing its ruthless nature. As years passed and beauty faded,and as time flew by, the world transformed. Eventually, step by step, I achieved immortality on the path of seeking. Some say immortality is but a dream, while others urge cultivators to push forward. Some claim that ten thousand years is too long, advocating for seizing the day. Yes, indeed. ——Excerpt from "Memoirs of the Immortal" by Gu Changsheng, the immortal king of Enlightened Way!

Chapter 50: The Sixth Level of Qi Refining

Chapter 50: The Sixth Level of Qi Refining

  Gu Changsheng calmly withdrew his hand.

  He was not blind, and the girl looked like she was thinking about love.

  It was hard to say that she didn't have a lover.

  That's why he said that there was someone in this girl's heart.

  Gu Changsheng, the master of life guidance.

  But life is indeed wonderful and unpredictable.

  Gu Changsheng shook his head and watched the backs of the two people leaving.

  There was also a large silver coin on the table in front of him.

  This girl has exquisite taste!

  ...

  The first three levels of the Azure Sky Technique can only enable practitioners to advance to the third level of Qi refining at most.

Finally, there are two spells attached at the back: the light body spell and the spiritual rain technique.

It is specially noted that this is a cultivation method.

A map of the cultivation world, which he himself is not sure about, is sandwiched within this method.

  Gu Changsheng began his own secret bestowal of opportunity.

He would not appear directly but rather let people discover it by chance.

As long as someone could successfully find the cultivation world, return, and leave a legacy in his own home, then he could learn about the things in the cultivation world.

  [No. 1 Immortal Seedling: Jimo City, Miss Zhu, Zhu Guanyi, about 20 years old, possesses spiritual roots of unknown type. A chance for immortality has been bestowed upon her, awaiting the day of fruition... Will she successfully reach the world of immortal cultivation?

- Emperor Xuanming, seventeenth year.]

The ancients said, "If you hear the truth in the morning, you can die in the evening."

He simply provided these people with the opportunity to enter the world of immortal cultivation.

But whether they choose to seize it or not?

That is their own decision.

  He will not interfere.

  As for whether one lives or dies after entering the world of immortal cultivation,

it all depends on each person's luck.

He has a clear conscience.

Gu Changsheng held a white sail for fortune-telling, his white robe fluttering in the wind as he looked back at Jimo City again.

Having one immortal seedling in a city is already sufficient.

  Although he has never stepped into the world of immortal cultivators,

just by observing the mortal realm, he can gain insight into the broader picture.

He already has a glimpse of the world of immortal cultivation.

If the foundation is not solid, how can the structure above it be sturdy?

The conflicts in the mortal world are already intense.

One wonders how fierce the battles among immortals will be?!

  "Be careful and cautious in seeking the great way, the road to immortality is ethereal."

  I scattered a handful of seeds, waiting for the harvest.

  In the wind, the Taoist with a gourd tied around his waist continued to travel around the world.

  ...

  Since his immortal cultivation realm reached the fourth level of Qi refining.

  Cultivation in this mortal world is as slow as a snail, and it is estimated that it will take 20 to 30 years to improve one level.

  Ordinary immortal cultivators will definitely not stay in this mortal world for a long time, and even if there are immortal cultivators in the mortal world, it is estimated that most of them are in the early and middle stages of Qi refining.

  But Gu Changsheng is different.

  The more difficult it is for immortal cultivators to survive in the mortal world, the safer he is.

  Anyway, if he doesn't cultivate to the peak in this mortal realm and fully understand the immortal world, he will never rashly step into it.

After assessing the lives of so many people, Gu Changsheng has nearly calculated his experience.

The occurrence of spiritual roots among mortals is probably only 5 in 10,000.

In other words, among ten thousand people, only about five have spiritual roots.

  And among two thousand people, there may be one person who can cultivate immortals.

  Therefore, spiritual roots are very rare.

  Although most of these people will never be exposed to the world of cultivating immortals in their lifetime.

  Even if he can only read the fortunes of ten people a day, that amounts to about three to four thousand people a year.

  With luck, some of them become new immortal seedlings!

  Once he confirms that a person truly possesses spiritual roots, Gu Changsheng always employs various strange and unconventional methods to successfully pass on the immortal cultivation method to the chosen ones.

  For example, when the target is walking, a martial artist happens to die in front of them with no one around. Then, by picking up the corpse, the target finds the immortal cultivation method.

Or they acquire it "accidentally" through various means.

Anyway, there are many similar "opportunities".

  [Immortal seedling No. 21...]

  After writing down a few words and recording the time and information, Gu Changsheng put this "Immortal Seedling Record" back into the storage bag.

  "I will continue to calculate for another sixty years and gather ninety-nine immortal seedlings first."

After another sixty years, his cultivation level is expected to reach the pinnacle of this mortal world.

Beyond that point, further progress will be challenging.

Coincidentally, by then, the "immortal seedlings" he has cultivated are expected to mature!

Self-raised, they can be consumed with confidence!

Absolutely green and healthy, pure natural, and free from pollution!

  ...

  "Pah!"

  The gavel slammed on the table, and the storyteller sighed:

"The Moon-Watching Pavilion Master and the Hidden Moon Swordsman retired from the world from then on, and the world no longer knew where they were...

Some people say their last retreat was on a secluded island in the North Sea. The island boasts a beautiful environment with peach trees spread across it, resembling a paradise, hence it's also known as Peach Blossom Island.

Others claim to have seen them on the snow-capped mountains in the South Region.

But the Moon-Watching Pavilion Master and the Hidden Moon Swordsman

never appeared again after that..."

  I didn't expect that many years later, I would become a character in this story.

  Although most of the content was hearsay from later generations, plus fabrications.

  But Gu Changsheng, seated below, sipped his tea and listened with relish.

He accurately tossed a large silver coin into the copper plate on the stage.

In the storyteller's astonished gaze, all he saw was a figure walking away into the sunset.

People don't remember years.

If there's no age indicator on the attribute panel.

Gu Changsheng didn't know how old he was now

Anyway, he had broken through to the fifth level of Qi refining a year ago.

Now, he finally sensed an opportunity for another breakthrough.

In the wilderness, a secret room was hastily opened up in the mountains.

A figure sat cross-legged in the center of the secret room.

His hands formed seals, and his eyes were slightly closed.

The thin spiritual energy in the air was drawn into his body.

It was refined along the meridians and finally returned to the cyclone in his Dantian.

This cyclone, resembling the Milky Way, consisted of countless gases.

Quietly hovering in his Dantian, it rotated slightly, appearing magnificent!

At this moment, it seemed to have grown a little.

However, the free spiritual energy in this world was insufficient.

  Gu Changsheng decisively took out the only two spiritual stones from his storage bag and placed them beside him.

It could be seen that the two spiritual stones were already somewhat dimmed.

This was the consequence of his usual 'frugal lifestyle.' He feared poverty, so he dared not take a breath!

It was as if a large block of ice had been placed beside him on a hot summer day

  He swallowed the vast spiritual energy like a glutton.

His whole body seemed to be emitting a kind of joyful emotion.
