If you don't give up, I'd like to be your adoptive father.

Chapter 221 Fairy Child
Chi Lingzi smiled reservedly and nodded gently, "My cultivation is not as good as Brother Lao's. I have only wasted three hundred years, but I also have a hundred or so immortal friends."

Yan Feiying ignored Li Xianzhi and stared at him eagerly.

He is actually not very familiar with Chi Lingzi.

But he was sure that Chi Lingzi was different from the "human-immortal cultivator" who claimed to be an immortal.

Monk Feixian Du Miao and Dou Yilin, for example, can fly into the sky and hide in the ground, and use strange skills, but their foundation is still the true essence of immortal martial arts.

In the world of refining "Qi", "Qi" is the foundation.

What Chi Lingzi used was not internal force, or the advanced level of internal force - true energy, but the "magic power" that only immortals have.

Mana has a relatively obvious suppressing effect on internal strength and true energy, but the more crucial thing is that mana can prolong life!

Longevity and even immortality are the most important labels for immortals.

Moreover, Chi Lingzi actually has hundreds of immortal friends.
This is a fairyland!

Xiao Yu didn't know what Yan Feiying was thinking, so he asked again, "Excuse me, Immortal, where are you practicing?"

Chi Lingzi said: "Do you know the Hundred Thousand Mountains in the south of West Shu? Two thousand five hundred miles away from here, there is a peak called 'Yanwang Biliang', and I practice here."

"Yanwang Nose Bridge, it sounds very steep and dangerous!" Xiao Yu exclaimed, and then asked: "Are all the immortal's friends near Yanwang Nose Bridge? Why not find a flatter immortal mountain?"

Yan Feiying couldn’t help but interrupted, “No matter how dangerous Yan Wang’s nose is, it’s only for ordinary people.

The immortal and his friends are all immortals who can ride on clouds and mist, and any dangerous place can become a smooth journey.

The steep mountains have more wonders and are quieter, without being disturbed by ordinary people."

Chi Lingzi ignored him and continued to say to Xiao Yu with a smile: "My immortal friends come from all over the world, not just from one place.

The immortal travels to Beihai in the morning and Cangwu in the evening, and treats thousands of mountains and rivers as if they were nothing.

For example, Yingxiang Mansion is thousands of miles away from the King of Hell, but I still arrive at Lao Mansion on time in the morning. "

He was indeed the first "immortal guest" to arrive at Lao Mansion.

But what he didn't say was that he set out three days in advance, flew for three days and two nights, but still failed to catch the morning "longevity porridge". He was indeed a little thirsty, and planned to drink two bowls of longevity porridge and eat a bowl of longevity noodles.

Xiao Yu sighed, "The immortal has great magical powers, so it's easy for him to visit friends thousands of miles away, but it's a bit lonely for the Taoist priest to be alone with such a big nose."

Yan Feiying couldn't help it again and said, "Why should a cultivator be afraid of loneliness?"

Chi Lingzi smiled and said, "It's really hard to be alone."

Yan Feiying's expression froze.

"There are six peaks on the bridge of King Yan's nose, and each peak has a mountain master. I am only the master of the four... ahem, four peaks of King Yan's nose."

——What a sin, what a sin. I almost slipped up and said “Four Kings” just now.

Chi Lingzi reflected on himself in his heart and continued, "I have three elder brothers above me and two younger sisters below me.

In addition to several immortal friends who have achieved enlightenment, there are also many immortal children and disciples on the mountain.

I prefer quietness to activity, I guard a peak alone, but it’s quite lively over there.”

——There are so many cliques. It seems that I can’t follow Chi Lingzi back to the King of Hell’s Nose Bridge and occupy the magpie’s nest.
Xiao Yu felt a little regretful, and a look of disappointment appeared on his face. He murmured, "The Immortal likes to be quiet and doesn't like to move. Maybe he doesn't want to accept disciples."

Yan Feiying wanted to jump up, pointed at her nose and shouted: I heard that you are born with wisdom and are extremely smart, why are you suddenly confused today? The immortal has given a hint that is as clear as a hint, but you let go of the immortal opportunity that is right in front of you!

If he really jumped up and shouted, Xiaoyu would definitely complain in his heart: I heard that you are the best detective in Xishu, meticulous and extremely smart. How come you were so confused today that you didn’t realize that I, a "potential murderer", was conducting a survey of the family situation of the "potential victims"?

"I like quietness, but that doesn't mean I won't accept disciples." Chi Lingzi said with a smile.

Yan Feiying's expression froze again: What's going on? Isn't it said that immortal fate only has a little inspiration, if mortals are not intelligent enough and can't understand it, the immortals will think that mortals have no immortal blessings and then turn around and leave?
"Master, you~~~~"

Now the "confused" Yu Fengxian finally got it, and her voice was trembling with excitement.

Chi Lingzi smiled and nodded, and asked: "Yu Fengxian, I see that you have some wisdom, are you willing to follow me back to the mountain and become an immortal child?"

On the second floor of the Accord, there was complete silence.

Everyone stopped talking, and looked at Chi Lingzi in confusion, or looked at Yu Fengxian with envy.

Xiao Yu asked nervously: "Master, is the fairy boy a disciple?"

Chi Lingzi shook his head and said, "You are still young and have not been tested or experienced. You are not qualified to be my disciple yet and cannot receive my true teachings."

Yan Feiying took a few quick steps, came to Chi Lingzi, knelt down and shouted: "Master Chi Lingzi, I am willing to go back to the mountain with you and become an immortal child!"

Li Xianzhi was stunned. "Detective Yan, you——"

He wanted to shout: How can you, a strong old soldier with gray hair, be a fairy child?
But he also knew that Yan Feiying was extremely eager for immortality.

As long as you can grasp the opportunity to become an immortal, it doesn’t matter if you are an “old or little immortal child”.

——But now that you’re gone, what should I do with my “Shudong Martial Arts Conference”?
He was just discussing with Constable Yan how to maintain law and order in Tianmen Town and Yingxiang Prefecture during the martial arts conference!
Chi Lingzi frowned and shook his head, saying, "Master Yan, why do you have to be like this? You will soon reach the Yuandan realm, and you are of the same generation as me. After all, although there are differences in the 'immortal path', a human immortal is still an 'immortal'."

That's not wrong.

There are five immortals: heaven, earth, man, ghosts and gods. "Human immortal" is also an "immortal" recognized by heaven and earth, gods and Buddhas.

"I would rather follow the immortal master and practice the art of longevity than study martial arts in the human world." Yan Feiying's eyes were full of sincerity and desire.

Others may have expressions of confusion and puzzlement on their faces.

The one-armed immortal, He Chaohong and others, who are also human immortals, have extremely complicated expressions and feelings.

They were impressed by Yan Feiying's persistence in the way of immortality, and admired his courage to ask to be an "old immortal boy" in public. They even felt a little ashamed for him. There were many complex emotions, but no doubt. They could understand Yan Feiying's behavior.

The human immortal is indeed one of the five immortals, not to mention that their future is hopeless and they have no way to go, the short lifespan of the human immortal makes them unworthy of being called "immortals" at all - without magic pills and elixirs, it is not uncommon for human immortals to live to be 160 or 170 years old and die of old age. Those who live over 200 are considered "long-lived", and those who live close to 300 are considered "centenarians" among ordinary people.

It would be fine if the lifespan was short, but it is extremely time-consuming and laborious for a human immortal to accumulate power and condense the Yuandan.

Those who can become immortals at the age of 100 are considered “young talents”.

It is also thanks to the large number of warriors and the fact that there are more elixirs and magical herbs that can prolong life in the prehistoric world.

Otherwise, the profession of "human immortal" will most likely be kicked out from the five immortals of "heaven, earth, man, ghosts and gods".

Because there are too many practitioners of immortal martial arts, the ratio of human immortals born is higher than that of "celestial immortals". In addition, with the help of magical herbs and remedies that can prolong life, the number of human immortals in the world is actually very large.

Due to their large number, their influence on the human world is enormous. Even if they have the worst average level and the shortest lifespan, they can still be ranked alongside the other four immortals. They are ranked only in name, but the gap in their identities and status is so great that they are like two different creatures.

Chi Lingzi shook his head and said, "Master Yan, please get up. I have no chance with you."

Then he turned his gaze to Xiao Yu, "Are you willing to follow me back to the mountain and become a fairy boy?"

"Yes, of course!" Xiao Yu was delighted and nodded repeatedly, then hesitated and said, "But I have an appointment with the prince, can I have a few words with him first?"

Chi Lingzi smiled and said, "Go ahead."

Upon hearing this, Li Xianzhi took the initiative to leave the table and took Xiaoyu to the small compartment outside where tea was being prepared.

Without waiting for Xiao Yu to speak, he lowered his voice and said, "Chi Lingzi has actually taken a fancy to you for a long time. In the afternoon, when we were discussing the extermination of ghosts in Guaizi Mountain upstairs, he did not avoid others and asked me in public - he felt that he had a destiny with you and wanted to take you to the southern mountains to practice. What do you think of the Li family?

I didn't hesitate and told you directly that the Li family has nothing to do with you anymore and you have to decide your own future.

Actually, I shouldn't have come with you at all.

This will make others misunderstand that my Li family is still related to you."

Xiao Yu was a little speechless, "Is it necessary to be so cautious?"

Li Xianzhi said seriously: "This is not a question of being cautious or not. It is indeed the case, isn't it?"

"Then come out with me now." Xiaoyu looked at him puzzled.

Li Xianzhi said sternly: "I am not coming out with you to discuss whether you can go out to practice with the Immortal.

I swore an oath by the water that day, and I also considered situations similar to today.

Within ten years, if you temporarily leave Yingxiang Mansion out of helplessness, it will not be considered as breaking your oath.

For example, being abducted by the enemy.

As long as you return to Yingxiang Mansion after regaining your freedom, the oath will remain the same.

Finding the immortal destiny and leaving Yingxiang Mansion would not be considered breaking the oath.

After all, it is hard to get a chance to become an immortal, and destroying someone’s path to immortality is worse than killing their parents.

The ten-year period only concerns the Northern Wilderness.

I don’t mean to restrict you, I’ve made that clear from the beginning.”

He tilted his head to glance in the direction of the hall, and said in a lower voice, almost whispering, "I came out with you just to remind you that you have no connection with the Li family, and Immortal Master Chi Lingzi has no connection with the Li family either.

Don't mistakenly think that we are acquaintances just because we are talking and laughing.

In fact, it was not until today that I had the honor of meeting Immortal Master Chi Lingzi for the first time."

After saying this, he didn't give Xiaoyu a chance to ask again, he pushed open the small door of the compartment and walked out.

Xiaoyu followed him with a thoughtful look on her face.

Li Xianzhi said "reminder", but his words were actually very obscure.

Moreover, the content of the "reminder" is extremely low, and it is more of a way to distance oneself from the matter - no matter which side of you causes trouble, it has nothing to do with my Li family, and my Li family is just a passerby.

Li Xianzhi nodded to Chi Lingzi, pulled the distraught Yan Feiying to the side, and continued to discuss matters related to the public security in Tianmen Town during the "Shudong Martial Arts Conference".

"Master, I want to be your fairy child."

Xiaoyu bowed towards Chi Lingzi, her face and laughter full of joy.

"Okay, let's go!" Chi Lingzi stood up with a big laugh.

The people around also smiled and were about to come over to say a few words of congratulations!

Suddenly, a light mist blew in from outside, causing everyone to squint their eyes and hold down their sleeves and skirts.

"come over!"

Chi Lingzi waved to Xiaoyu, and the mist had condensed into a gray-white "somersault cloud" under his feet.

Xiaoyu jumped to his side and stepped on him hard a few times. It was soft and springy, but very firm, like stepping on a Simmons mattress.

"Master, are we leaving now? I haven't packed my luggage yet!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? We are all going to go into the mountains to practice. From now on, we will eat pine trees, drink mountain spring water, and wear clouds and mist. What else do we need to carry?"

Chi Lingzi laughed loudly, lowered his back and bowed to Lao Shenxian, "Brother, I am leaving now!"

Lao Shenxian always had a calm expression on his face, and at this moment he just smiled and nodded.
