The Path to Immortality

Seeing Deacon Gu's expression, Fang Ping knew where to find the trap.

His face darkened: "...forget it."

Anyway, what I want is just a tool person to help replace the spirit stones and collect the energy of the moon. Female disciples can also do the job.

Fang Ping, who was too lazy to wait any longer, said calmly: "Since you and the four of you are here, you must already know my request. You need to sign a soul contract. From now on, you will live in the Lingbao Peak Cave and serve me."

"Of course, I am not a bad person."

"During your service, I will provide you with the resources you need for normal cultivation. If you perform well, you will receive additional rewards."

"Every ten years, you have a chance to make a free choice. If you don't want to renew the contract, I can also terminate the soul contract and let you go. You just need to take the [Forgetting Pill] and forget about the ten years. Specific matters regarding seat effectiveness.”

"Who has any more questions?"

To be fair, this condition can definitely be said to be favorable.

Since the four girls came here, they had already made up their minds. Now that they heard Fang Ping's personal promise, they were naturally even more moved. No one was willing to quit.

However, although there were four candidates, Fang Ping couldn't use that many.

He said lightly: "It seems that you are all ready, but I only need two people at most..."

As soon as the words fell, the four women suddenly became more tense and angry, and they regarded each other as competitors.

After looking around for a few times, Fang Ping pointed at the female cultivator on the far left who gave him a sense of familiarity inexplicably, indicating that he would start with her and explain his identity and the reason why he was willing to sign a soul contract.

After listening for about a quarter of an hour, he felt confident.

Among the four women, only one has four spiritual roots, and the other three have five spiritual roots, and the spiritual roots are all in poor quality.

In addition, most of them have ordinary backgrounds, either as casual cultivators or from a small, run-down family. Basically no one can provide them with resources for cultivation.

If nothing unexpected happens, relying solely on themselves, they may not be able to reach the advanced stage of Qi training in their lifetime.

You may even attract the covetous attention of other monks because of your beauty and lack of protection.

Among the four girls, the petite female cultivator named Liang Yinghua was targeted by a cultivator named Qian who was at the eighth level of qi training. She was pestered in every possible way and was even forced to dare not leave the market at one point.

If it were another late-stage qi-training monk, Liang Yinghua might just be able to accommodate her and get married.

But the monk surnamed Qian had some grudges with Liang Yinghua's father during his lifetime, and Liang Yinghua herself was extremely disgusted with the monk surnamed Qian. Only then did Deacon Gu come to the door, and he would rather sign a soul contract and serve as a cauldron for a foundation-building monk from the Jindan Sect than commit himself to that monk named Qian.

"He can be considered a miserable person..."

Fang Ping felt a little pity, reached out and tapped her, confirming the first spot.

Seeing that Liang Yinghua was chosen, the other three women showed a little envy.

Liang Yinghua herself looked a little complicated, not knowing whether her decision was right or wrong.

As for the rest...

Fang Ping's eyes wandered for a moment, and finally landed on the female cultivator who had given him an inexplicable sense of familiarity before.

This girl's name is Lu Xue. She has a charming appearance and a pair of enchanting peach blossom eyes. She is very charming. She comes from the Xunxian Town at the foot of Luoyang Zong Mountain.

The reason why he is willing to come is also very simple. He claims that he is afraid of poverty and came here for the cultivation resources provided by the foundation-building monks.

"you……"

Fang Ping was about to speak, and was sure to choose this girl, when suddenly an idea flashed through him, and he vaguely remembered the source of that familiar feeling.

He looked at her again and again and said, "Lu Xue, right? What's your mother's name?"

Lu Xue was stunned, a little surprised as to why Fang Ping would ask this question, and said cautiously: "My mother's surname is Su and her name is Lingyun."

Fang Ping's expression suddenly turned strange.

It’s really the queen of old friends!

Although the friendship between Fang Ping, Zhou Yang, Su Lingyun, and Zhang Feihu was not very close when they were in the outer sect, and they gradually drifted apart after that, no matter how you say it, they went up the mountain together and worshiped outside the Luoyang Sect. door.

Although life is impermanent and anything can happen, this strange development is really a bit ridiculous...

He said calmly: "Didn't your mother follow an inner disciple of the Luoyang Sect in the outer sect of the Luoyang Sect? No matter what, she can't even provide you with training resources, right?"

"How did senior know?"

Lu Xue was surprised.

At that moment, she thought of ten thousand possibilities.

She even thought of an extremely outrageous possibility that she had never dreamed of: the foundation-building monk and first-level alchemy master in front of her was her biological father!

As for why my mother was not with the person in front of her, the grudges and resentments behind it could be written in thousands of words.

Could it be that from now on, he will also have a backer and a family background?

"I don't know what you are thinking, but I have nothing to do with your mother. We are just ordinary classmates."

Fang Ping's calm tone severely broke Lu Xue's fantasy.

Lu Xue's eyes, which had already brightened, dimmed instantly.

After a while, she said in disappointment: "When I was a child, my mother did have a relationship with an inner disciple of the Luoyang Sect. But later, when my mother got older, the disciple of the Luoyang Sect was tired of his old love and came to see her. After finding a new love, he expelled my mother and me from the cave..."

Lu Xue didn't say what happened next, but Fang Ping could probably imagine it.

Those who use sex to treat others will be in love with others when their sex wears off. If they are in love with others, their kindness will be cut off.

This principle has existed since ancient times and has never changed.

Of course, it is not ruled out that some people are lucky enough to find a partner who is loyal to them despite the appearance of love. But such lucky people are only a minority after all.

Lu Xue's mother does not seem to be so lucky.

Fang Ping does not care about this, after all, they are not related to each other. He just feels a little sad for the little friendship they had in the past.

As for Lu Xue, forget it, it always feels weird.

Fang Ping changed his mind and looked at the other two.

Lu Xue was a little anxious when a great opportunity passed by her.

She tried to highlight her proud figure and said to Fang Ping: "Senior, why don't you like Lu Xue? I look a lot like my mother, no matter if it is..."

She couldn't say the dirty words behind her, and was suppressed by Fang Ping's slight pressure.

"Alas."

Gu Deacon, who lowered his head and turned a deaf ear to it from a distance, seemed to be concentrating on observing the texture of the ground, and did not expect that the person he was looking for actually had such a relationship.

After sighing in his heart, he walked up quickly, pulled the somewhat distraught Lu Xue out, and asked her to wait outside the cave. She was at the third level of Qi training and could not fly on her own. He would need to take her away from the sect later.

Inside the cave.

The other two women thought that Lu Xue was a done deal and were secretly disappointed. Unexpectedly, at the last moment, there was a sudden turn of events. They immediately cheered up and looked at Fang Ping, sending him a wink, hoping that he would choose them.

Except for Liang Yinghua and Lu Xue, the conditions of the remaining two women were similar in Fang Ping's opinion.

In the end, he chose a female cultivator named Xiao Ruoyu.

This woman had a gentle temperament and a light body, giving people a feeling of being a beautiful girl from a small family. Judging from her performance since entering the cave, her mind was relatively simple.
