The Path to Immortality

"By the way, I heard that Senior Brother Liu is a casual cultivator."

Zhou Yang, who was thinking of something, suddenly spoke up and spoke highly of it.

Hearing this, even Fang Ping couldn't help but look at it a few more times. Being born as a casual cultivator, being able to become one of the Three Outer Sect Masters is quite inspiring. In Internet literature before time travel, there might have been a protagonist.

After Liu Wuchen, another man and woman appeared side by side.

The two of them are the other two among the three heroes of the outer sect. They seem to be a good match for each other.

Among them, the man's name is Miao Youfang, whose origin is unknown.

The female nun's name is Ji Hongling. It is said that she has a deep background in the inner sect, and even the deacons of the outer sect must treat her politely.

After the arrival of these three late-stage qi-training monks, the preaching platform was already packed, and almost all the outer disciples who wanted to come to listen to the lecture had arrived.

Near noon, an outer sect elder flew over in a flying light.

While the person was still in the air, he exuded the coercion of the Foundation Establishment Stage, causing the preaching platform where there were some low discussions to fall silent instantly.

"Respectfully ask the elder to teach you the Dharma!"

The disciples all stood up to salute and pay tribute according to the etiquette passed down by Luoyang Sect.

At the invitation of all the disciples, the gray-haired elder in the early stage of foundation building stroked his beard, put away his pressure, and slowly fell from the air.

He took out the couch, futon, incense burner, spiritual tea, Taoist bell and other items, and put them all away in a leisurely manner. He also used the photo stone to play the Buxu tune Taoist music commonly used by ancient monks when preaching, and combined the foundation-building monks and The elder of the outer sect had enough airs, and then he coughed lightly under the watchful eyes of the disciples and began to preach this time.

"Today we will continue to explain the small Five Elements spells during the Qi training period."

"Disciples, please listen carefully. Even if there is something unclear, please do not make any noise and ask questions, so as not to disturb others."

Elder Wu's voice was not loud, but with the blessing of the foundation-building magic power, the monks in the entire square could hear it clearly.

However, although his appearance is grand, his strength in the foundation building period is not empty.

Although it only talks about the use and techniques of the Five Elements spells during the Qi training period, often a few casual instructions and demonstrations can make the outer disciples in the audience who are exploring on their own feel like they suddenly realize that this can still be done.

Perhaps in order to take care of the many weaker disciples, the content and spells he explained at the beginning were obviously shallow.

Almost an hour later, Elder Wu took a short break and drank a cup of spiritual tea. He also left some time for the disciples to understand what he had said earlier. Then, he continued to talk about the second scene.

This time, the content and spells involved were obviously more advanced.

The monks who were in the early stage of Qi training soon couldn't keep up with the team, and they half understood what they were hearing and were completely confused.

But I didn't dare to ask random questions, so I could only forcefully write down some contents, and plan to sort them out when I go back, so that I can slowly understand them in the future.

So, another hour.

Next comes the final scene.

The content of this lecture is shorter, but obviously more profound. It is mainly aimed at senior disciples who have practiced Qi in the middle and late stages and have been in the outer sect for many years.

At this point, Zhou Yang, Zhang Feihu and other disciples basically couldn't understand it at all.

If you are more sensible, just give up and sit still, recalling and sorting out the two previous conversations.

On the contrary, Liu Wuchen, Miao Youfang, Ji Hongling and others, who had not paid much attention before, listened particularly seriously, showing expressions of enlightenment from time to time, obviously they had gained a lot.

In this way, the lecture lasted almost until the afternoon, before Elder Wu finished speaking today's content.

Looking a little tired, he ignored the disciples' questions, waved his hand and rolled up the couch, incense burner and other items on the pulpit, and directly drove the escape light through the air and left without leaving a single unnecessary word.

Those disciples who wanted to ask questions or make a good impression were greatly disappointed.

"As expected of Senior Foundation Architect, his teachings are indeed thorough!"

Zhou Yang recalled the previous content and felt that this trip was worthwhile.

Zhang Feihu nodded with deep understanding and asked: "When Elder Wu used the [Xiao Geng Golden Jue] spell as an example, I didn't understand the technique of quickly performing Tao spells. Which one of you has taken note of it?" ? Can you give me some advice?”

"That's it..."

Fang Ping had a good memory and happened to write it down, so he repeated it exactly as it was.

The four of them, like many other disciples on the preaching platform, communicated and confirmed with each other. After almost grasping all the gains from this lecture, they talked and went down the mountain and said goodbye.

………

Early the next morning.

Before dawn, Fang Ping set off for Luoyunfang.

This Fang City, which is completely controlled by the Luoyang Sect, is only a hundred miles away from Cangyue Mountain. The Fang City is under the jurisdiction and protection of the Luoyang Sect disciples, and ordinary Jie cultivators do not dare to come.

With such safety guarantees and the good location of Luoyunfang, one can imagine the prosperity of the city.

In the early stage of Qi training, monks have limited mana and cannot control flying magic weapons. Fang Ping can only choose to use the light body technique to travel on his own.

Fortunately, it's not far after all. Relying on the light body technique, which is far more effective than the mundane martial arts, it didn't take more than an hour to reach Luoyunfang.

The formation of Luoyunfang has a forbidden air effect, so monks below the foundation level can only climb the mountain from the entrance at the bottom of the mountain.

Near the entrance, there is a simple mysterious formation that is shrouded in clouds and fog all day long, making it inaccessible to ordinary people.

The monk only needs to pour in a little mana, and he can naturally open a passage to enter.

In order to provide a reasonable excuse for the source of the elixir in the future and the rapid improvement of his cultivation level, Fang Ping had no intention of hiding his alchemy skills.

But the effect of Yuanding was too powerful, and he had to hide the time when he started studying alchemy.

In order to avoid being suspicious of his abnormal progress in the alchemy path when he sells the elixir in the future.

Otherwise, if it is traced down and it is found out that the old monster Yuanying failed to seize the body, that would be fine. It's hard to say what would happen if he was found to be a time traveler.

Therefore, when purchasing the alchemy inheritance, it must be done in secret.

Fang Ping had already thought about it, and if anyone asked him in the future, he would deduce that the elder had left behind a book called "Preliminary Explanation of Alchemy". I started researching before I got started, and it wasn’t until recently that I made some progress in the alchemy path.

In this way, it seems much more reasonable.

Moreover, all the blame is placed on the dead, who were the former disciples who sacrificed their lives for the benefit of the sect. Even if they really wanted to investigate, there would be no proof!

………

Entrance to the mountain.

Two outer disciples of Luoyang Sect stopped Fang Ping and asked, "Who are you from?"

In the deserted place on the way, Fang Ping had already put on a common Taoist robe and cloak common among casual cultivators, and applied a common disguise potion to his skin color to create a simple disguise.

This kind of disguise cannot hide from the foundation-building monks. With your spiritual consciousness out there, you can see through it with just one sweep.

It is enough to face a few guards who are at the middle stage of Qi training.

He said in a hoarse voice: "Xu Fei, a casual cultivator in the north of Liang Kingdom."

The guards didn't care whether the name Fang Ping reported was true or false, or maybe everyone knew it and the inquiry was just a routine matter. After simple registration, collecting the spirit stones is the most important thing.

He immediately said with a straight face: "You need a voucher to enter and exit Fang City. An ordinary temporary voucher can only stay in Fang City for three days."

The original person had been to Fangshi before and was no stranger to the rules here, so he paid six spiritual stones.

The entry and exit fee for one spirit stone and the voucher deposit for five spirit stones are refundable when you go down the mountain.
