I Cultivate Immortality With Scientific Thinking

"Once I leave for this trip, I don't know when I will come back."

In the corner of Lingnan Cultivation World, Lin Chen stood out of thin air, looking at the endless snow-capped mountains in front of him with an inexplicable look in his eyes.

Behind the snowy mountains is the place where he used to spread the inner alchemy method - the Daqian Dynasty.

Although the war between the two Lingnan sects affected a wide area, the main area of ​​influence was the land of Lingnan as mentioned by the monks, that is, the Lingnan cultivation world where spiritual veins exist.

Other than the Soulless Land, except for the area near the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains that was nearly shattered due to the aftermath of the collision, other places were intact, including the Daqian Dynasty.

Lin Chen came here this time not only because he had stayed here for more than 20 years, but also because he wanted to revisit his old place before leaving, and he also had vague plans for the future.

"The way of Gangqi, the method of illusion, the dream of the human brain, the spiritual seal, the sanctification of the body... Although these are ultimately not the path to immortality, the imagination and creativity born based on the inner alchemy method are just abandoned. It's such a pity..." Lin Chen's eyes moved slightly.

Perhaps after he has established a firm foothold in Middle-earth and successfully created the [Taking the Sutra of Health and Preservation and Feather Sloughing], he can come back and provide guidance.

After thinking about this clearly, Lin Chen looked at this place again for a long time, then came to the mountains where the laboratory where he had stayed for more than 20 years was located, and finally turned around and left.

Flying over Lingnan, there was originally a barren dead land. The yin, death, evil and other filthy forces in it had been completely wiped out by that shocking sword light. They turned into pure spiritual energy, and spread in Guangzhou. Under the nourishment of the spiritual snow drifting from the cold palace, it has initially regained its vitality and seen a little green.

He came to the sky above the former Jiangcheng. The original large city had disappeared, leaving only a wasteland with a little weeds growing there, which looked so desolate.

Lin Chen looked at this scene and remained silent for a long time.

He also lived here for more than ten years before awakening the memory of his past life. Although he couldn't say that he had deep feelings, he still retained some memories.

But that's how things are in the world, ever changing.

When you want to recall the past, you will find that you are not even qualified to be moved by the scene, because the people or things in the past, as well as the places that left countless marks of time, have all passed away in the long river of time along with that memory. inside.

And when you have experienced endless years, all the past events, people or things, feelings or scenes will be buried in the distant past. At that time, what will be the motivation to support you and keep going?

"No wonder the higher the level of monks, the heavier the obsession in their hearts, because when a person has experienced a long time and countless people or things he cares about have left one after another, the only thing that can support him to go on is probably... There is only the way in the heart..."

I don't know how long it took, but his figure still disappeared in the sky above Jiangcheng.

…

Qingyun Sect.

Where his laboratory used to be, the bright night pearls were still emitting a soft light, but the cement floor fired through magic was already covered with spider webs, and there were even overgrown weeds in some places.

It was here that he summed up the three laws of spiritual energy, and conducted countless experiments, which brought him to where he is today.

Lin Chen rearranged the place and turned its abandoned state into a brand new one. However, he took away or demolished various experimental devices and used magic to remove the remaining curse of resentment from the place.

Then, after hesitating for a while, he artificially arranged a spiritual land, and left some secret techniques through echoes and other methods, which were enough to make the cultivators look proud of their peers, and there was no telling which latecomers would be advantaged in the future.

Finally, he walked through this place step by step, turned around and left, never looking back.

…

From Daqian Snow Mountain, to the old site of Jiangcheng, then to the Qingyun ruins, and finally, to the cave where he lived for more than ten years.

The scenery in the courtyard remains the same, with the willows sprouting buds in early spring and fluttering in the wind outside the fence. I don’t know how many more springs have passed.

Lin Chen closed the vermilion door and looked at the courtyard where he had lived for more than ten years with an inexplicable expression.

Then, as if he felt something, he kept walking forward along a path.

It was early spring at this time, the thick snow had melted, and countless grass and flowers were blooming on both sides, making it look very lively.

Soon, he followed the path and came to the top of a mountain.

At this moment, the sun is setting in the west, and the vast sunset is sinking among the peaks. The dim sunset light is shining down, making every place golden, making it appear vast.

There is also a pavilion on the top of the mountain. There is a stove in the pavilion. There is a pot on the stove. A person holds a cup and pours it down. There is a faint aroma of wine.

A beautiful figure, wearing a plain white robe, with waterfall-like black hair flying in the wind, her graceful figure, in the gentle spring breeze, has an indescribable gentleness and charm.

At this moment, the figure on the pavilion seemed to have realized something. He turned around, looked at Lin Chen with a smile, raised his wine glass, raised the glass to him, and chanted loudly:

“Let’s test new tea with new fire, and make poetry and wine take advantage of the youth.”

"Junior brother, this is the poem you told me in the past. Today is a good time, why don't you come and have a drink?"

After hearing the words, Lin Chen was stunned for a while, then he smiled to himself, walked into the pavilion, picked up the wine glass, and drank it all in one gulp.

"This is our farewell. I wonder if we can meet again in the future. I hope that my junior brother will not be restrained tonight and let us leave a beautiful memory. If there is hope for immortality in the future, please don't leave me, senior sister!"

Xu Mengyun looked at Lin Chen drinking and smiled inexplicably. She smiled happily and openly. At this moment, her smile was brighter and more moving than the spring breeze.

Lin Chen was stunned for a moment, seeming to question and then confirming: "You know everything?"

"Of course, senior sister, I am not a fool. If there is no help from the people in Middle-earth, how will you win the final battle?" Xu Mengyun stopped smiling, with a smile on her face.

"Then you knew I was leaving?" Lin Chen asked.

"I don't know about the others, but I know you. You will definitely leave. Junior brother, you have never been a person who is willing to accept the status quo!" Xu Mengyun looked at the distant mountain peaks that were painted with warm colors by the setting sun and seemed to sigh.

Lin Chen was silent for a moment and said softly: "I'm sorry, I haven't told you, just because I haven't thought about how to say it. In fact, you can also go with me."

"Hahaha!" After hearing this, Xu Mengyun was stunned for a moment, and then the bright smile appeared on her face again, and the stars seemed to be reflected in her pupils, "Junior brother, a sensible person like you would also ask such a question ? With my strength, wouldn’t it be a drag to go out on adventures with you?”

"I think I'm very sensible." Lin Chen's tone seemed a bit stubborn as he retorted, "You can help me collect resources and manage my power, and I can protect you and provide you with spiritual objects for you to practice..."

"Phew!" Xu Mengyun covered her mouth and smiled, with a playful look on her face. She even stretched out her hand to pinch Lin Chen's face and said in a funny voice, "Junior brother, you are really cute now."

Lin Chen rarely resisted and allowed her to squeeze, and asked: "What do you think?"

"Forget it." Facing Lin Chen's sincere gaze, Xu Mengyun smiled, and finally shook her head, "I still stay here, I don't want to leave."

"Why?" Lin Chen couldn't help but frowned deeply and asked.

"Because not everyone has the courage to go out and take risks like you, junior brother. I can't bear the hardship and loneliness." At this point, the smile on her face dropped and she looked into the distance. It seems like emotion, but also like melancholy.

"Besides, my parents are here, the friends I know are here, and many people I care about are here. If I are asked to abandon them and go to a completely unfamiliar place, I can't do it."

"After all, I am not a seeker after all. I like this world, but I like those who care even more. Let me be as high as heaven, watching all the people who care about me and the people I care about leave me, and in the end I am the only one left. I really can’t do it, drifting alone in the years.”

"I can accompany you." Lin Chen said.

"I don't need your company." Xu Mengyun turned her head, her eyes seemed to reflect a pool of spring water, with infinite expectations for the future, "Junior brother, you should explore the boundless world and see the splendor of heaven and earth, instead of staying in Beside me, take care of the love between your children."

"And, junior brother, not everyone can have an immortal heart like you."

"Then don't you feel tired of staying here all the time?" Lin Chen looked slightly gloomy.

"This is how I have gone through my life. I think there is nothing wrong with living a normal life with the people I like, the people I care about, and my relatives and friends." As she spoke, Xu Mengyun looked around.

In the days when the war didn't happen, she was in the small world of Qingyun Sect, competing with business rivals who were both enemies and friends, spending time with her aging mortal parents, and chatting with her maid friends. laugh.

She has lived here for decades, and it has condensed so many emotions and memories for her that she really doesn’t want to leave.

"Junior brother, I am different from you. I don't care about the splendor and prosperity of the world. I just want to grow old happily in my time." Xu Mengyun smiled to herself, with a hint of apology in her expression, "I'm sorry, junior brother, I may really I can’t accompany you, let’s go on together.”

"I know..." Lin Chen was silent for a long time, with a rare hint of unexplainable sadness in his tone, "If we have different paths, we will eventually end up not conspiring against each other."

One wants to go outside and see a broader world, and the other just wants to grow old slowly with the relatives and friends he cares about.

Many times, many things are not impossible, but people have their own ambitions and cannot force it. In the end, they can only part ways and part ways from now on.

But for some reason, Lin Chen felt an inexplicable sadness in his heart. After decades of tacit understanding and getting along in the past, he couldn't tell whether it was friendship or love between them.

And if we say goodbye here, I am afraid that we will never see each other again in this life. After all, the world has changed and the world has gone through great changes. Hundreds or thousands of years later, I am afraid that it is really a life-and-death farewell.

But in the face of Lin Chen's silence, Xu Mengyun burst out laughing. She put a hand on Lin Chen's shoulder, and a half-smile appeared on her face:

"Junior brother, why do you have to be so pretentious? Isn't it a blessing that we can meet each other during this period of time? Now even if the fate is over, it is still a time in life that is enough to remember!"

"Besides, people like you should be suitable for a wider world. That is your real sky!"

Then, she looked at the mountains after sunset. The mountains were as green as black eyebrows, and the spring water was like a bronze mirror. She couldn't help but sing softly:

"The mortal world in this world is just a dream. Don't worry about favors and disgrace in the world. I just want to live my life with the Tao. Drink the clouds and dew in the morning, and my heart will be clear in the purple mansion. Remember this windy and snowy night in the mountain, how passionate I am about drinking by the fire. Ask who will accompany you thousands of miles later. The mountain eyebrows are auspicious and green, and the spring water is as bright as a mirror.”

While speaking, Xu Mengyun raised the white wine glass with a green bottom in her hand, and her beautiful face was full of solemnity:

"Junior brother, I hold this glass of wine to send you a thousand miles away! May all the good luck in the future favor you, and may the long years not wear away your original intention. Let us say goodbye now."

Lin Chen was stunned at first, and then he couldn't help but smile, raised the wine glass, and smiled on his face: "Senior sister said it too well, it should be clear!"

Bang!

The two wine glasses touched each other, making a crisp sound, which suddenly rang in the gentle evening breeze.

And in the mountain scenery under the pavilion, the lake is bright and the spring scenery is just right.
