The Path to Becoming Immortal

"You want to die, don't talk nonsense outside, don't think about going out, except for designated shopping and other matters, no one can think of entering and leaving Chunhui Valley at will."

"What about sneaking out?" Ning Ping said casually with a deliberately funny look on his face.

"Hmph, don't think so, look around, and the entrance of the valley is guarded by people from Yingfeng Hall. That is the war hall, and everyone is a cultivator. If you want to sneak out without being discovered, you will die."

When Ning Ping heard this, he looked around and sighed helplessly in his heart. He saw that the valley was surrounded by steep cliffs on three sides, and there was only one entrance. He didn't have this idea before, but now that he looked carefully, it was really difficult to sneak out.

Seeing that Ning Ping didn't say anything, Guozi continued, "Just half a year ago, a new guy couldn't stand Brother Hua's punishment and wanted to sneak out at night. He was caught by the guards at the entrance of the valley and was chopped on the spot."

"You are my best brother now. I don't want anything to happen to you. Promise me not to mess around. We are doing well now. It's actually good here if you work hard."

The child's mind is very simple. After a short period of contact, the two of them developed a friendship because of their compatible personalities and interests. However, Ning Ping knew a secret that the other party didn't know, and this secret couldn't be told to him, so he had to think of another way.

"Hey, then there will be no chance to go out?" Ning Ping pretended to be regretful.

"That's not true. There are always people to do so many things here. We call them apprentice disciples, but in fact, they are just chores at best. Basically, those who have the opportunity to go out are those registered disciples, that is, those brothers who have successfully awakened their spirits. Otherwise, they will work honestly until they are 20 years old, but they will not become monks and will be sent back."

"So if you practice well and have good luck, you may be able to successfully awaken your spirit during this period. Hey, after hearing what you said, I also want to go out and play!" When Ning Ping mentioned this, Guozi was also tempted.

Ning Ping thought secretly in his heart. He had made up his mind not to show up again and conceal that he had successfully awakened his spirit. But now he is only 12 years old and is still far from 20 years old. Who knows when the shadow will cover his head.

No, I can't wait that long, so I will take the risk of being exposed during the inspection next month. Only after becoming a registered disciple will I have a better chance to leave here earlier. Besides, aren't the second and third brothers fine? It's not my turn anyway.

After making up his mind, Ning Ping's heart was temporarily settled.

After putting aside these thoughts, he couldn't help but think of Yang Qizhen and the senior brother's alchemy last night. Putting aside the terrifying scene behind, this alchemy still opened Ning Ping's eyes. Yang Qizhen easily killed the wild cat with a finger, which made him feel extremely magical.

Thinking of this, Yuanli, don't I have it too? Feeling the weak trace of Yuanli in the Dantian of the body, Ning Ping also began to get excited. The soul tried during the day, and now Guozi couldn't try it, but it was okay to try this Yuanli.

"Guozi, I'm going to get some fresh air outside and take a walk." Ning Ping said, and then walked out of the straw shed.

Walking to a place where Guozi couldn't see, Ning Ping began to try.

Time has passed for a long time, but it still doesn't work. Under the urging, the weak Yuanli can only flow in the body, but can't penetrate the body like Yang Qizhen.

After struggling for a long time, Ning Ping accidentally broke the thin leaves of the grass in front of him under the influence of his thoughts.

At first, Ning Ping thought it was because of the wind when he was too close to the blade. Later, he was sure that the thin leaves were broken by himself under the influence of his Yuanli. After several attempts, the weak breath in his body was almost gone. He was happy.

Although the power was weak enough, he had never dared to think of such a method before. Unexpectedly, he could have it now. This was the difference between having nothing and having something.

With this small breakthrough, Ning Ping became more enthusiastic about cultivation. Feeling that the Yuanli in his Dantian was almost exhausted, he couldn't wait to start cultivation in the straw hut. Even Guozi saw Ning Ping's hard work and started to cultivate together.

At night, Ning Ping, who was exhausted from the torment last night, couldn't help wanting to find out what was going on. After thinking about it, he realized that Yang Qi Zheng couldn't find him, so he drove his soul to Yang Qi Zheng's attic again.

The damaged window had been repaired, and a new furnace was placed in its original position.

Yang Qi Zheng hadn't started to make the elixir yet. He wandered around and found that he was sitting cross-legged in the study, so Ning Ping ran through all the rooms and didn't find anything else unusual.

Bored, he remembered that Yang Qi Zheng pointed to the ground last night and fire came out, but there was no firewood or anything like that underneath. Ning Ping's heart moved and he went to the alchemy room again. After careful observation, he found that there was a fire hole under the furnace. The dark depths seemed to be tightly blocked by something, and there was a faint feeling of warmth.

After watching for a while, Ning Ping decided to go deeper to see what was going on. His invisible body slowly disappeared into the ground. After passing through a dark area, he suddenly saw a bright red light in front of his eyes, followed by an extremely burning feeling.

"Ah~" Ning Ping let out a miserable howl and felt like his body was about to catch fire. He immediately retreated quickly in panic and felt a little relieved when he returned to the ground.

Ning Ping stared at the ground under his feet with lingering fear. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and left in time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous. At this moment, he felt an immense pain on his invisible body, as if he had been burned by fire. Finally, he figured out that this was underground fire, and those fiery red things should be the lava described in "Dachuan Travels".

Ning Ping smiled bitterly. He suffered innocently for nothing, but fortunately he knew what was going on. Curiosity really killed the cat!

Fortunately, it didn't take Ning Ping and others long before they noticed Yang Qizhen coming in.

Yang Qizhen stared at the alchemy furnace in front of him for a while, and smiled slightly. Then he waved his hand and shot out a stream of Yuanli from his fingertips, and then a wave of waves rose around the alchemy room.

A familiar scene reappeared, and Ning Ping knew that the other party had opened the prohibition to prevent disturbance. Fortunately, he didn't run around just now, otherwise he would be in trouble again.

Yang Qizhen pointed his hand, and the underground fire instantly rushed out, and then walked to the table, and the magical scene appeared again.

As Yang Qizhen waved his hands repeatedly, the medicine containers he had refined last night appeared out of thin air in his hands and were neatly placed on the table.
