Immortality

Chapter 7: Everyone Has Their Own Destination ( words updated, please bookmark and read)

In the Zihe area, there is the Xianmiao courtyard of the Yue Kingdom.

A cough suddenly sounded in a room.

"Cough cough!"

As soon as Fang Sheng’s consciousness left the green lotus, he felt weak, as if he had just fought for three days and three nights.

He quickly activated the Spirit Fire Sutra and absorbed spiritual energy from heaven and earth for healing.

After the magic power had circulated for half a cycle, the feeling of weakness gradually subsided.

Fang Sheng slowly opened his eyes, exhaled a breath, and thought of the essence and blood that had just been absorbed by Qinglian.

"The reaction of transferring blood essence is stronger than direct bloodletting. It can only be done once a month. Any more than that will affect the foundation."

"However, the progress is much faster than in the previous life."

In his previous life, when he was still a mortal, he bled for twenty years before he was able to cultivate a Tao fruit.

At the current rate, it would take about four years to cultivate a human Dao fruit.

In comparison, it's not slow.

As for using other people's blood to speed up the progress?

It’s not that Fang Sheng couldn’t think of it, but human blood was too important in this world.

It is easy to associate it with demons causing chaos.

Even in the mortal world, as long as there are reports of human blood disappearing or being bought and sold.

Even if it is just hearsay, it will immediately alert the government and the monks staying in the mortal world.

Now that I am in the world of cultivating immortals, human blood will only become more sensitive.

Any rash action will inevitably bring about unnecessary trouble.

It does not conform to Fang Sheng's concept of stable development.

He didn't want to take any risks until the Green Lotus was fully charged and ready for the next reincarnation.

"The Dao Fruit of the human race can increase comprehension, which is a very good attribute. The problem is that my comprehension is obviously overflowing now...

It took others half a month to barely understand the basics of the technique, practicing as they went along, but I was able to master the entire technique in two and a half days."

"Now that I can't get access to high-level skills, it would be a waste if my comprehension level is raised too high."

According to Taoist Shuimu, in the world of immortal cultivation, there is no such thing as someone with supernatural comprehension who can ignore his spiritual root qualifications and make continuous breakthroughs.

Practice, practice...

What you cultivate is yourself, and what you practice is the great way.

You can only move forward step by step; it is impossible to reach the sky in one step.

If you lack understanding in the future.

You can also erase the other lotus patterns and cultivate the human race's Dao fruit again.

"Wait until the Spirit Testing Conference is over and I have decided where to go. I will then look for the blood essence of monsters to cultivate Dao Fruits. Perhaps this will be faster. It would be best if I could enter the He family of Taoyun Mountain..."

In his previous life, the old Taoist who wanted to take him as a disciple mentioned it.

The He family of Taoyun Mountain is a foundation-building family. The family business is to breed monsters, sell their meat and bones, and sell monster blood.

It is also the family that leads the Spirit Testing Conference.

This business is just right for me.

In the past few days, Fang Sheng inquired indirectly and learned that this family still exists.

Otherwise, the Zheng family is also acceptable.

He communicated with Taoist Shuimu and learned that alchemists also needed a large amount of monster blood to refine pills.

A large portion of the monster blood produced by the He family was sold to the Zheng family for alchemy.

……

One month passed in the blink of an eye.

Fang Sheng originally thought that the Spirit Testing Conference would be over soon.

After asking Taoist Shuimu carefully, I found out that the Spirit Testing Conference usually lasts for half a year.

They came back in the third month.

In other words, we have to wait nearly two more months before the fairy seedlings from the last area arrive.

It’s not just because the world of immortal cultivation is so vast.

Another important reason is that many Qi-refining families do not have flying boats and can only use exotic beasts such as spirit horses to carry the immortal seedlings back over mountains and across ridges.

According to the old Taoist in the previous life.

The Spirit Testing Conference is actually held because some immortal cultivation families are weak and lack fresh blood, so they have no choice but to send people to the mortal world to find immortal seedlings for low-cost cultivation.

Afterwards, they would recruit him as a son-in-law, hire him, or even train him as a assassin to strengthen the strength of their own family.

They were lucky. Although the Zheng family was a family of alchemy and Qi refining, they had the financial resources to purchase a flying boat magic weapon.

No need to suffer the hardships of wind and rain.

……

Another month later.

On this day, Fang Sheng had just finished his training.

As soon as he came out, he heard the news from other immortal seedlings.

"The immortal masters outside are saying that the flying boat sent by the He family of Taoyun Mountain to Liang Country to pick up the immortal seedlings encountered a thunderstorm on the way back..."

“It is said that this kind of natural disaster in the world of immortal cultivation can easily cover thousands of miles, and a bolt of lightning can flatten a mountain.

The He family's flying boat has disappeared in the thunderstorm, and the He family's foundation-building ancestors have all gone to look for it..."

The next few days.

The atmosphere outside the compound was indeed much more tense.

Something must have really happened. I wonder if the conference will be postponed.

Fang Sheng maintains his daily life.

In addition to tutoring Acai in literacy practice every day, he also maintains his practice and constantly runs the small circulation.

Otherwise, you have to establish good relations with other immortal seedlings.

After Fang Sheng entered the Tao, Zhao Miaoyan came over to ask for advice for a long time and managed to calm down.

In the end, he entered the school only ten days later than Fang Sheng.

……

The third month since arriving in the world of immortal cultivation.

The Spirit Testing Conference has been going on for half a year.

Taoist Shuimu sent the message on time:

The immortal seedlings from all sides gathered together, and each family officially began to select people.

There were more than 700 mortal immortals in this conference.

First, seven relatively powerful families that have contributed the most will select and take away 200 of them.

Only a group of small families remain.

The strength is not strong and the effort is little.

The remaining 500-odd fairy seedlings can freely choose to join one of them.

Among the seven families that have priority in selecting people, only the He family of Taoyun Mountain is a foundation-building family, and the rest are Qi-refining families.

"It can be seen that this Spirit Testing Conference is indeed not taken seriously in the world of immortal cultivation, and only families with relatively weak strength participate..."

"But why are there people from Qianhuo Dao Palace here..."

Fang Sheng looked forward.

A cultivator from the Chen family, one of the seven major families, was reading out the list of candidates on the stage.

Sitting beside these people was an old Taoist with a red beard.

He has reached the ninth level of Qi Refining, and is dressed in a golden-red Taoist robe. Around his waist hangs the exclusive Taoist plate of the Qianhuo Taoist Palace, with the Taoist name "Huoyun" engraved on it.

In the world of cultivating immortals, only the power that possesses the Jindan Zhenren can be called a "Dao Palace".

The appearance of this Taoist Huoyun was simply outstanding among the flock. Even though he closed his eyes and said nothing, looking calm and composed, the families still did not dare to neglect him in the slightest.

In his previous life, Fang Sheng had never heard that Qianhuo Dao Palace would also come to participate in the conference...

At this time, the cultivator from the He family of Taoyun Mountain walked to the front of the stage with a gloomy face and began to read out the immortal seedlings selected by the He family.

The scene suddenly became much quieter.

Lian Xianmiao knew that the He family suffered heavy losses in this conference.

It has been confirmed that the flying boat that encountered the thunderstorm before was unable to escape and was hit by lightning.

The priceless flying boat magic weapon, along with two clansmen in the late Qi Refining stage and more than seventy immortal seedlings, were reduced to ashes in mid-air.

"...Li Yin and Fang Cai from Yue, and Chen Yidong from Cao..."

The He family's list has been read out.

There was a burst of excitement in the venue, all from the chosen ones.

In the eyes of the immortals.

As a foundation-building family, the He family must be the best place to go besides the Qianhuo Dao Palace.

"elder brother!"

Ah Cai grabbed Fang Sheng nervously, feeling uneasy. His little face turned pale and he was so scared that he was about to cry.

Fang Sheng sighed in his heart. He didn't expect that the He family didn't choose him, but chose Acai instead.

He took Ah Cai's hand and walked towards the He family's guide, while comforting him:
"Acai, don't be afraid, my brother taught you before..."

Before, he had been worried about this day and had been training Ah Cai's mentality.

This child is just timid and lacks confidence, but he is actually quite capable.

The immortal seedlings chosen by the He family are almost all young children, except for girls, whose age is slightly relaxed.

At the reception area, I don’t know which child started crying first, which soon caused a chain reaction, with everyone crying loudly.

Seeing this, Ah Cai sniffed.

Not only did he not cry along with others, but he wiped his eyes and straightened his expression.

Fang Sheng looked at the other chosen fairy seedling from Yue State, the twelve-year-old Li Yin.

The girl is four years older than Acai.

Fang Sheng had an impression of her. This girl came from a wealthy family, was well-educated and well-mannered, and did not value gold and silver too much. It was not until they were about to board the flying boat that she took some.

Because of this, her character is rated as rare and medium.

During the three months he stayed in the hospital, Fang Sheng was interested in making friends with the Yue Kingdom's immortal Miao people and could talk to most of them.

Just for today.

"When we get to the He family, Miss Li, please help look after my Ah Cai..."

Fang Sheng and Li Yin got closer.

Li Yin glanced at the young Acai and remembered that Fang Sheng had taught her martial arts before and was highly regarded by Taoist Shuimu.

He nodded gently:

"Don't worry, Brother Fang. I will do my best to help you."

……

After Acai is settled, we will arrange a time for future communications.

When Fang Sheng returned to the venue, the list of candidates from the seven major families had already been read out.

The immortal seedlings whose names were not called left in disappointment and sought to join other small families.

These small families also released their own treatment.

Fang Sheng took a few glances as he passed by and found that the conditions were quite generous.

For example, some families only recruit immortal seedlings who practice the Golden Rays Technique, and give them a low-grade magical flying sword when they join.

Some of the fairy seedlings were extremely excited.

The Golden Light Technique is best at attacking...

Fang Sheng vaguely guessed something, but he didn't want to remind him.

He looked all the way back to where he had just stood.

Zhao Miaoyan was still waiting for him here.

"Water and fire, how about that?"

"Fang Sheng, we got it, we got it!"

Zhao Miaoyan looked excited, with a grin on his face:

"Senior Shuimu chose both of us, all thanks to you!"

"That's good……"

Fang Sheng also put aside some of the anxiety in his heart.

During this period, Taoist Shuimu has been paying attention to him, and it is obvious that he intends to select him on the Zheng family's list.

He had no intention of hiding his shortcomings, and his good understanding often made Shuimu secretly feel regretful.

Zhao Miaoyan followed beside him and became somewhat familiar to him.

If you can't go to the He family, the alchemy Zheng family is also a good choice.

Much better than those small families.

After all, the essence and blood of monsters are often used in alchemy.

……

The two walked towards the reception area of ​​Zi Yan Zheng's family.

Taoist Shuimu was already waiting here, accompanied by Zhou Yan, who had low spiritual roots, and a strange girl.

Fang Sheng was about to step forward when he was suddenly stopped by someone.

"Brother Fang!"

A young man followed behind him. He was also a disaster victim from Yue State, with three spiritual roots and Taoist aura. His name was Ji Dahu.

He was also instructed by Fang Sheng before he entered the Tao, and he has always been grateful to Fang Sheng.

At this time, Ji Dahu was uneasy:

"Brother Fang, I wasn't selected. Which one do you think is the best place for me to go next?"

"Ah Hu, aren't you practicing the Golden Mans Technique?"

Zhao Miaoyan spoke first: "I see some families want this, and they also give away magic tools!"

"I...I always feel that there is something wrong with those people."

"Brother Fang, can you give me some advice? Is there a safer place where I can make a difference?"

Ji Dahu gave him an expectant look.

Fang Sheng was silent for a moment, thinking about what he had just seen. Those small families and small forces were probably recruiting death squads.

As a mortal immortal seedling, you must choose a faction to join no matter what...

"Da Hu, I'm sorry..."

He shook his head.

Ji Dahu understood immediately, and the expectation on his face disappeared in an instant.

"Anyway, thank you Brother Fang."

He forced a smile and walked away hunched over.

Looking at the lonely back of my friend.

Zhao Miaoyan, who has always been a thick-skinned man, finally realized something.

The excited look gradually faded...

At this time.

The voice of Taoist Shuimu came from behind the two of them.

"Get ready to go. I'll take you back to the Zheng family's Purple Smoke Valley."
