Cultivating Immortality Begins with Rejuvenation

Reverting to childhood tonight!

The instant a flash of spiritual light appeared, Li Ji'an fully activated his spiritual sense, not missing any detail.

The previous three times of reverting to childhood happened when he woke up and discovered the reversion, without any prior awareness the night before. But this time, perhaps because he had condensed his spiritual sense, his perception was more acute.

This night, he planned to use his spiritual sense throughout the entire process, hoping to discover more secrets of 'reverting to childhood'.

Before that moment arrived, he didn't idle. First, he placed medicinal herbs that nourish the muscles and bones, cleanse the meridians, and scour the marrow into the wooden barrel.

This batch of medicinal herbs was more effective than the ones he had in the Immortal Blessing Dynasty, after all, they were nurtured in a place with spiritual energy.

He had a natural advantage in physical cultivation with his innate roots and bones, which was also his greatest guarantee and future trump card at this stage, so he couldn't give it up and hoped to improve further.

Afterward, he disguised himself as his old self and went to the gathering area's post station, sending a letter he had prepared long ago to the Yan family. If nothing unexpected happened, it would arrive by noon tomorrow.

Returning to the house again, he called back Gua Gua, moved it with emotion, reasoned with it, reviewed their first meeting, recalled their intimate companionship of exactly thirty years, showed it affection for half an hour, and fed it a high-grade beast pill of the late first-order that he had prepared nine years ago.

This moved Gua Gua deeply.

Then Li Ji'an had it burrow into the ground, cautiously protecting him, but if outsiders forcibly broke in, it should desperately stop them, telling them that he was going to cultivate a mystical technique, and would become terrifyingly strong after its success.

Although he wasn't sure how much it understood, the double insurance of emotion and a soul contract had some effect.

Until he sensed the moment was getting closer and closer, he activated a late first-order protective talisman, placed the ant queen, which contained a wisp of his spiritual soul, to one side, and then used his Dan fire to boil the medicinal liquid in the wooden barrel containing herbs for cleansing the marrow, finally preparing a set of childhood clothes, taking out the Marrow Cleansing Pill and the Source Nourishing Pill and placing them in front of him, sitting cross-legged, calmly focusing his mind and sensing.

Time passed by, minute by minute...

"Swish ~" Not knowing how long had passed, Li Ji'an suddenly opened his eyes.

Looking at his body that had reverted to childhood, feeling his weak physique, he was in a daze.

He was clearly not sleepy at all, and his spiritual sense was fully focused, but he still lost consciousness unknowingly, and woke up again like this.

"About an hour..."

"This 'reverting to childhood' is truly mystical, what exactly happened in this hour... I wonder if the spiritual sense of the Foundation Establishment stage can discern it?"

Without time to think carefully, he immediately followed the established steps, first taking the Marrow Cleansing Pill and soaking his entire body in the wooden barrel of medicinal bath.

After the medicinal effects of the Marrow Cleansing Pill were completely absorbed, he swallowed the Source Nourishing Pill in one gulp.

He had already experienced the nourishment of the Marrow Cleansing Pill on the muscles and bones in his previous life, but the Source Nourishing Pill was a first for him. The instant the Source Nourishing Pill transformed into spiritual liquid and flowed into his Dantian, he felt a fiery heat in his lower abdomen, as if a ball of fire was burning, but only for a moment, the heat disappeared, turning into a warm current slowly nourishing his Dantian...

After confirming that there were no problems with the two pills, he stopped thinking about other things and focused on operating the soul condensation method.

After another 'reversion to childhood', the base number of his spiritual soul increased again. As the soul condensation method that Yan Qingwan taught him operated, the originally ethereal soul began to slowly shrink, turning into spiritual sense thread by thread.

By the time the rising sun rose and the sky turned white, he had finally completed the first stage of soul condensation, possessing a spiritual sense comparable to the early Qi training stage.

"This life, my spiritual soul has grown again, I wonder if I can break through to the spiritual sense of the Foundation Establishment stage after all the condensation is completed?" He was looking forward to it, but he didn't continue.

With spiritual sense, he could re-establish a soul contract.

At this moment, he completely lost contact with Gua Gua.

Fortunately, the wisp of his previous life's spiritual soul in the sea of consciousness of the parasitic ant was still there, but it already felt very unfamiliar at this moment.

Holding the Beast Taming Token in his hand, he slowly injected his spiritual sense.

An hour later, he finally erased that wisp of spiritual soul and once again bound the contract with Gua Gua's soul.

"Gua ~" The instant the new contract was formed, he clearly felt Gua Gua's daze for a moment, and in the next moment it drilled out of the ground, revealing a head, a pair of somewhat intelligent but not very intelligent eyes staring blankly at the unfamiliar Li Ji'an.

However, Li Ji'an at this moment did not continue his previous affection with it, looking at it just as unfamiliar, because at this moment the soul contract had been formed, no matter what Gua Gua thought, it had to be controlled by him.

Moreover, for Gua Gua, the newly signed soul contract was clearly another person. With its intelligence, it would be difficult to make it believe that he was still himself.

After that, Li Ji'an stored the storage bag and all other items in the space in Gua Gua's mouth, and ordered it to take good care of the ant queen.

After Gua Gua burrowed into the ground again, Li Ji'an breathed a sigh of relief.

The most critical step in this life was completed as planned.

Although he was now powerless, and without any magic power to protect himself, with Gua Gua, a late first-order spirit beast that was good at earth escape, protecting him, he would be safe in the entire wasteland as long as he didn't encounter a Foundation Establishment Taoist.

He also spent two hours practicing the Qi Sensing Method that he had mastered in his previous life until he was proficient, and could sense the thin spiritual energy here.

"Source Nourishing Pill, Qi Sensing Method... and a spiritual vein dojo... I wonder if my spiritual root can reach middle grade in this life?"

With all preparations complete, Li Ji'an called back Gua Gua, and through the space in its mouth, he quietly left the house, and reappeared in the central square of the gathering area.

Everything seemed the same as yesterday, without much change, the only thing that had changed was himself.

"Hey, little kid, where are your parents? Do you want to have your talent tested? If you have potential, we can take you back to the clan, and you will have food and clothing for the rest of your life, and there is hope for entering the Dao."

The latest novels are first published on Liu 9 Shu Ba!

After waiting for a while in the square, someone came up to chat with him.

They were people from some Qi training families around with insufficient foundations.

This was very common here, after all, there were many orphans in the world of cultivators, most of whom never returned after their parents left once, and some parents were unable to provide a path for their children, so they brought them to the market and then left on their own, leaving the children in the market.

However, those who can become orphans generally have limited spiritual root potential, and these families are just trying their luck.

In addition, a female cultivator who looked like a procuress came up to chat with Li Ji'an, praising him for being delicate and a good seedling, and wanting to take him away.

And an old Taoist who claimed to be a loose cultivator and wanted to find a successor.

Li Ji'an kept his distance from them all, saying that his parents would be here in a while.

During this period, he also encountered Chen Zhaohu, who had returned from outside. At this time, Chen Zhaohu had shown signs of aging, and his vitality had declined severely, and he no longer had his former aura.

By chance, the two had a brief eye contact, but they passed by each other like strangers.

Until the sun set in the west, people who went out returned one after another.

Suddenly, a stream of light shot from the southeast of the gathering area.

At the same time, it was accompanied by a powerful divine sense pressure.

"Li Chang'an!" The next moment, a familiar gentle voice came from far and near, enveloping the entire gathering area.

At this point, Li Ji'an breathed a sigh of relief, and the last trace of worry disappeared.

And seeing Yan Qingwan's posture, he couldn't help but feel a little moved.

A dignified Foundation Establishment Taoist actually traveled eight hundred miles because of a letter... and publicly called out his name from his previous life.

This life is stable!
