I Cultivate Immortality With Scientific Thinking

At the end of the passage, there is a cliff connected to the sea. As soon as Lin Chen and Zhang Hao walked out of the passage, the salty and humid sea breeze blew towards them.

Standing on the cliff and looking at the sea, the sea water and the sky merged into one, and it was hard to tell whether it was water or sky, just like the fog locked the mountain top and the mountain locked the fog, the sky connected to the water tail and the water connected to the sky.

The sea water in the distance, under the shining sunshine, looked more like pieces of fish scales spread on the water surface, and like naughty children constantly jumping to the shore.

And in the near distance, waves kept coming and hitting the rocks, making a roar of the sky collapsing and the earth cracking, splashing white foam, like a thousand miles of snow-capped mountains collapsing.

Looking at the vast sea, the two of them suddenly felt open-minded, and some of the depression brought by the monsters chasing them quietly dissipated, and the whole person became refreshed.

The two of them were amazed for a moment and then came back to their senses and began to explore the surrounding situation.

After a quick scan, they found no demonic aura or prohibitions, and the spiritual energy was very thin, which did not seem like there were any cultivators.

After thinking for a while, the two of them flew up cautiously from the cliff and soon reached the top of the mountain, taking in the surrounding situation.

Looking far away from the height, Lin Chen found that they were now on an island, with a radius of about 100 miles. The high mountain below divided the island into two parts. The south was lush and green, with a lush forest, and the north was faintly lit up with human habitation, and there was a town, which did not seem to be a deserted place.

At this time, Zhang Hao also flew up. After all, he was still in an unfamiliar environment and it was not the time to wander around.

Looking at the people in front of him, his eyes moved and he said, "It seems that there are no cultivators stationed on this island, only a mortal town. Let's go there now?"

Lin Chen shook his head and said, "There are only so many mortals on the island. If we show up rashly, it will inevitably attract attention. Let's investigate the situation first."

"Hmm?" Zhang Hao frowned when he heard this, "Brother, you are too cautious. They are just mortals."

Zhang Hao felt that Lin Chen was too cautious.

After all, as a Jindan-stage cultivator, he is no different from a god in front of mortals. If he is still timid, what kind of immortal is he cultivating? What kind of freedom is he seeking?

If he never reaches the top in his life, does he have to hide himself like a mole for the rest of his life?

But in response, Lin Chen just glanced at him lightly and said, "Mortals are indeed nothing, but why don't you think about it carefully? This island is not that big at all, and there are few species in the woods on the island, but there are mortals living there. Aren't you curious about where these mortals come from?"

"This... Senior Brother means that these mortals are related to the cultivators in the East China Sea?" Zhang Hao quickly reacted.

"Yes, it's better to be careful." Lin Chen nodded, "After all, the East China Sea is different from the Middle Earth, but it is in a wartime state. Although it is true that there are all kinds of people, if we make too much noise, I'm afraid it will cause a lot of trouble."

Zhang Hao thought about it, then nodded, agreeing with this statement.

And Lin Chen directly used means to explore the situation in the town with his powerful perception.

Under his perception, he quickly collected the situation in the town.

In general, the language style is consistent with the mainland heritage, with a strong local accent, which can be roughly understood; the clothing and accessories are different from Lingnan, and the material should be made of linen unique to this place.

However, there is one thing that Lin Chen is more concerned about, that is, there is no spiritual energy here, there are no cultivators, but there are many traces of formations, Taoist rituals, and cultivators' activities. And according to the situation, it seems that the cultivators come here quite frequently, but they just happened to hit a window period, and no cultivators came here.

"Strange... There is obviously no spiritual energy resource here, why do I feel that the activities of cultivators here seem to be a bit frequent?" Lin Chen withdrew his consciousness and felt a little puzzled.

"Brother, what's wrong?" Zhang Hao asked when he saw this.

Lin Chen thought for a while and briefly told Zhang Hao about the situation here.

"Is there a monster beast nearby? So the cultivators came here to kill the monster?" Faced with this doubt, Zhang Hao put forward his own opinion.

"There is a small sea area and island nearby, and there is no spiritual energy. Where did the monsters come from?" Lin Chen shook his head. "Besides, I didn't find a lot of traces of fighting here."

"Why do we have to think so much? Why don't we just go in and ask." Zhang Hao didn't have so many ideas and said directly.

"...Yes, use magic to hide your tracks and explore for a while." Lin Chen thought about it and agreed with this suggestion.

The two discussed it and soon learned the language style of this place.

Afterwards, they went down the mountain and entered the town, and quietly sneaked into the city lord's mansion, ready to learn more about the situation here.

There were no cultivators in the city, and with the strength of the two, they could be called unscrupulous.

However, the two did not mean to hurt these mortals. They cast an illusion to make the others faint, and then cast a soul-bewitching spell on the city lord and began to ask in detail.

The city lord didn't know too much, but he unexpectedly knew a lot of news about cultivators.

According to him, cultivators and mortals overseas are not as clearly distinguished as on the mainland. On the contrary, cultivators often come to the mortal world to refine their qi according to various needs.

"Collecting qi?" Lin Chen and Zhang Hao looked at each other, with a look of doubt on their faces. The latter asked aloud, "What does it mean to collect qi? This place is a soulless land, how to collect qi?" Where did the spiritual energy come from?”

"According to the Immortal Master, gathering Qi is to absorb a breath of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth based on the martial arts." The city lord's face showed a look of confusion, but he subconsciously replied, "Whether it is a mortal or an innate warrior, all You must absorb a ray of heaven and earth spiritual energy into your body, so that you can transform into an immortal."

"But the spiritual energy of heaven and earth only has ten types of attributes: yin, yang, five elements, wind, thunder, and ice, but there are thousands of types. Different types of spiritual energy have different characteristics, and they are all different in subtle ways. Therefore, the immortal masters need to choose A ray of spiritual energy from heaven and earth is constantly differentiated according to needs, and then absorbed into the body before one can enter into practice.”

Just take one kind of spiritual energy and turn it into your own life, so as to enter the spiritual practice?

Lin Chen couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this, and continued to ask: "Then what does this have to do with the mortal world?"

"I don't know. I only know that some specific attributes of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth need to be condensed with the help of mortals, and immortal masters will come here every ten years to recruit disciples." The city lord confided all the news he had about the monks, "And Immortals all come from the east."

"It is said that thousands of miles east, there is a large island with a radius of thousands of miles, called Lingyuan Island, which is the center of this sea area. It is said that immortal masters are permanently stationed on it. There are also many strange islands scattered around, all of which are the residences of immortals. ”

The two of them then asked some more questions, and after discovering that the city lord didn't know anything more, Lin Chen and Zhang Hao quietly left and returned to the cliff at the beginning.

They integrated the information they had collected so far and discussed it.

"It governs a hundred thousand miles of sea territory and thousands of miles of spiritual islands. It seems that the person in charge behind it must be a Nascent Soul monk. The East China Sea cultivation world is really prosperous as expected!"

Zhang Hao said this without a hint of joy on his face. This shows that this place is more suitable for cultivation and the probability of his breakthrough in cultivation is also greater.

But there was no joy on Lin Chen's face. Instead, he lowered his head and thought for a moment before slowly saying: "I'm afraid... the situation is not as good as we expected."

"Huh? Why did senior brother say this?" Zhang Hao was stunned after hearing this and couldn't help but ask.

"Do you still remember what I just heard from the city lord about the monks collecting energy?" Lin Chen did not answer his question directly, but said something else.

"Collecting Qi? This may be some secret method of cultivation." Zhang Hao said disapprovingly.

"It would be great if you were cultivating a secret method." Lin Chen seemed to have thought of something and sighed softly, "I'm afraid that this is a convenient method on the road to refining qi and cultivating immortality."
