I use my supernatural powers to prove my immortality

Chapter 232: Stove Fire and Taotie

When he saw Wei Wei again, Zhong Lixiao couldn't help but sigh again.

After meeting so many old friends one after another, Zhong Lixiao has already accepted that they have grown old and turned into a person he no longer recognizes. Only some vague traces of their past can be seen in their eyebrows and eyes.

but.

Wei Wei's change is both the biggest and the smallest.

All this was because in his heart, Wei Wei was still the chubby boy who liked to eat roasted grasshoppers and walked out timidly, but soon became completely familiar with him because of the food, instead of the middle-aged man who looked quite down and out now.

The reason why he is said to have "changed the least" is because the little fat boy who grew up looks so much like the Wei Dutou of the past.

If it weren't for the slight difference in his aura, Zhong Lixiao would even suspect whether it was the Wei Dutou from that year who came back to life.

This resemblance is not only in appearance, but also in spirit.

Although Wei Wei looks rather down and out now, his eyes are exceptionally bright.

After seeing Zhong Lixiao coming, Wei Wei immediately remembered Zhong Lixiao's existence.

When Wei Wei saw that Zhong Lixiao's appearance had not changed at all, his eyes shone with an unprecedented brightness.

This action made Zhong Lixiao completely recall the former Wei Dutou.

At the same time, Zhong Lixiao also fully understood Wei Wei’s thoughts at this time. He was probably the same as his father, and his desire for immortality increased again.

Living in the same world, why are some people born with spiritual roots that allow them to practice Taoism and achieve immortality, and travel freely between heaven and earth?

Some people have to waste their entire lives just because they have no spiritual roots. Even if they have a lot of ambitions, they can accomplish nothing.

Why? !

However, the cruelty of reality may be far beyond people’s imagination!
However, the chubby boy Wei Wei obviously didn't know what Zhong Lixiao was thinking. Seeing him again after many years, especially when he was making a critical decision, made Wei Wei think that this might be a kind of destiny.

Wei Wei stood up and bowed respectfully, "Wei Wei greets Master Immortal."

Zhong Lixiao was slightly surprised and couldn't help but say, "I remember you used to call me big brother."

Wei Wei smiled and said, "Calling the Immortal Master "Big Brother" was something that happened thirty years ago. Now I have grown up and it is impossible for me to call the Immortal Master "Big Brother" without hesitation like before."

Zhong Lixiao was speechless.

Since there is nothing to say, there is no need to say more.

Zhong Lixiao simply stretched out his hand and took Wei Wei's pulse.

Afterwards, Zhong Lixiao couldn't help but frown again.

How similar is this scene now to the time when he helped Wei Du’s number one pulse?
Wei Weiyuan is younger than Wei Dutou, but in terms of physical condition, he is just as bad as Wei Dutou.

However, in terms of martial arts skills alone, Wei Wei is no less capable than the former Wei Dutou.

From this we can also see that Wei Wei, the former chubby boy, has an outstanding talent in martial arts.

of course.

It is also possible that Wei Wei was more or less benefited from the magical power "Gluttonous Stomach" which has not yet awakened, and relied on natural treasures to reach this step faster.

It is precisely because of this that it can be seen that Wei Wei may be even more capable of doing things than his father.

In just a short period of time, the body of a martial arts master was turned into the shape of a broken jar.

Thinking of the help that the magical power "Taotie's Stomach" had given him over the years, Zhong Lixiao stretched out his hand and directly took out a pill bottle and said, "This pill is called 'Poison Dragon Pill', it is a holy product for healing. You swallow one first."

Seeing this, Wei Wei thought for a while, then clasped his hands together and said, "I am very grateful for your kindness. If Master Immortal needs you in the future, Wei Wei will go through fire and water for you without hesitation."

"what ever."

Zhong Lixiao replied in a muffled voice.

This healing poison dragon pill is naturally very precious. After all, it is a holy product for cultivators to heal.

And for ordinary warriors, it is the holy of holies.

Since Zhong Lixiao was willing to take it out to heal the fat boy Wei Wei, he naturally did not think about anything in return, nor did he ever think about what kind of reward Wei Wei could give him.

After Wei Wei swallowed the Poison Dragon Pill, his complexion could be seen turning rosy at a speed visible to the naked eye.

From this, it can be seen that Wei Wei's speed of digesting pills is indeed far beyond that of ordinary people.

About half an hour later.

Wei Wei completely refined the poisonous dragon pill. Not only did his injuries heal for the most part, but even his aura became deeper and longer.

Wei Wei said with joy, "Thank you for the elixir, Master. I have a favor to ask, and I hope Master can lend a helping hand."

Seeing Wei Wei's bright eyes and extremely resolute attitude, Zhong Lixiao once again couldn't help but recall the time when Wei Dutou asked him to engrave the wild boar king's blood on his body at any cost.

At that time, he agreed, and then Wei Dutou died!
Zhong Lixiao warned immediately, "You can't cultivate without spiritual roots, and it's illusory to enter the Tao through martial arts. Wei Wei, I admire your father, and I called him your brother in the past. I sincerely hope that you don't try recklessly. Making good use of our lives is more important than anything else!"

Wei Wei didn't say much, but just took out a somewhat torn book from his slightly worn sleeve.

"Please read it, Master Immortal."

Looking at Wei Wei who respectfully presented the book, Zhong Lixiao couldn't help but recall the former Wei Dutou again.

After a moment of silence, Zhong Lixiao took the book.

I opened the first page and saw it clearly written on it.

"In the twelfth year of Zhanghe, I met the great master Tianding at Motian Cliff in Wuzhou. After discussing martial arts and swordsmanship, we talked about immortal martial arts."

As the content of the book increased, Zhong Lixiao realized that although Wei Wei was young, he had been to many places and met many great masters of the martial arts world.

Especially their various ideas about the way of immortal martial arts made Zhong Lixiao a little dumbfounded.

In order to achieve immortality through martial arts, they made too many attempts.

In the most extreme cases, there are even martial arts masters who take the initiative to find immortal cultivators and ask them to refine them into human puppets.

The only requirement is that the cultivator can retain his sanity during the refining process, so as to experience the wonders of the immortal world.

But even such a humble request was ultimately rejected.

Because even if you want to refine a human puppet, you still need a body with spiritual roots.

As Wei Wei came into contact with more and more martial arts masters, their horizons gradually broadened.

One of the grand masters, because of good fortune, even found an immortal cave and discovered the remains of an immortal inside.

He even inherited some formation techniques from it!

Therefore, this martial arts master absorbed the theory of the formation to nourish people and wanted to refine the formation into his body through folk methods.
The result was naturally failure!

In the world of cultivating immortals, it is naturally possible to refine some particularly mysterious formations into the body, and each has its own mystery and magical uses, but the premise of all this is still the ability to cultivate immortals.

To put it bluntly, cultivating immortality means being able to communicate between heaven and earth.

If it doesn’t work, it doesn’t work!

As for Wei Wei's own attempts, the core focus is on eating.

From this, it can be seen that Wei Wei did discover that he did have a special talent in eating.

Wei Wei has tried natural treasures, spiritual stones, magical materials, minerals, and even the remains of predecessors.

This made Zhong Lixiao stunned.

So heavy?

And this was too much torture. It's a miracle that Wei Wei is still alive.

Zhong Lixiao closed the book and couldn't help asking, "What are you going to eat this time?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Wei felt a little embarrassed, but then he became full of enthusiasm again, "Seeking the Dao Stone."

Zhong Lixiao was speechless.

If he remembered correctly, swallowing the Seeking Stone had been clearly proven to be a dead end.

Even though Wei Wei possesses the seeds of supernatural power, he has not yet awakened.

With the blessing of martial arts, even though his digestive ability is much stronger than that of ordinary people, it is not strong enough to digest gold and stone.

Zhong Lixiao said solemnly, "You will die if you can't digest it!"

Different from Zhong Lixiao's serious expression, Wei Wei's face showed a calmness instead.

"Master Immortal may be standing too high, and can no longer understand the aspirations of us low-level warriors. Although there are not many martial arts grandmasters in the world, they are indeed not few. All of us have no way out!"

"Every one of us, a martial arts grandmaster, is tirelessly pursuing the truth. As long as we can find a way out, even if it means death, it will be a worthy death!"

When Wei Wei said this, there was light in his eyes and faith in his heart.

Zhong Lixiao couldn't help but admire him.

Sure enough, no matter at what time, people will be moved by this kind of heroism and romanticism of pursuing dreams and risking their lives for beliefs.

but.

Reality is cruel after all.

Zhong Lixiao was conflicted for a while again, he didn't know whether he should break through this fog.

Once exposed, Wei Wei's faith might collapse immediately, and he might even become a walking corpse.

But if it is not exposed, the tragedy of Wei Dutou will only happen again.

As the beneficiary of the magical power "Gluttonous Stomach", Wei Wei is indebted to Zhong Lixiao.

If conditions permit, Zhong Lixiao is also willing to use the Bu Tian Pill to build a "Five Blessings Spiritual Root" for Wei Wei, but the conditions for refining the Bu Tian Pill are too harsh.

At least a level five demon beast's demon core is needed. It is not easy to find such a high-level demon beast in the human territory.

Maybe we even have to go out to sea to search.

Seeing Zhong Lixiao so conflicted, Wei Wei immediately smiled and said, "Thank you, Master Immortal, for thinking about me. But for me, this road to immortality is far more important than my life. If I can succeed, maybe I can become famous through this, and even be remembered for generations to come, haha."

Some are greedy for money, some are lustful, and some are seeking fame.

Obviously, Wei Wei wanted to convince Zhong Lixiao to dispel all his concerns by describing himself as a person who was "greedy for fame and fortune".

In the end, Zhong Lixiao shook his head and said mercilessly, "If you are greedy for fame and fortune, then I would advise you to give up. The method of allowing people without spiritual roots to have spiritual roots was actually created long ago in the world of immortal cultivation."

Zhong Lixiao told Wei Wei the news about the Bu Tian Dan and the Five Blessings Spiritual Roots bit by bit in a very cold voice.

Wei Wei was stunned for a moment, as if he was petrified.

He had never imagined that the thing that he, his father, and even all the other martial arts masters had been pursuing had actually been invented long ago in the world of immortal cultivation.

What’s even more hateful is that the “Five Blessed Roots” that can clearly benefit the world are still shelved by the immortal cultivation sects.

puff!
Wei Wei, who couldn't withstand the blow, suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood due to the rush of qi and blood.

"Why, why?"

Zhong Lixiao looked at Wei Wei, and said with some sympathy in his heart, "The effort is not proportional to the reward. Even if the five blessed spiritual roots are successfully cultivated, they are still far inferior to the five spiritual roots that are born."

"There are very few cultivators with five spiritual roots who have established a foundation in the world of immortal cultivation. They are generally recognized as fake spiritual roots, and immortal sects will not even accept them."

Wei Wei's face turned pale and his body couldn't help but tremble.

Zhong Lixiao said in time, "After all, you and I are destined to be together. If I find a level five monster and get their monster pill, I might be able to help you refine a sky-repairing pill. If you believe in me, you can live well and wait a little longer." Wei Wei was in a state of despair. He just clasped his hands together and bowed deeply to Zhong Lixiao.

Then he left trembling.

Seeing this, Zhong Sheng, who had been silent before, also fell silent.

He also had never imagined that there really were such heaven-defying things as the Bu Tian Dan and the Five Blessings Spiritual Roots in the world.

It's really his cultivation that limits his imagination!

In fact, it’s not just Wei Wei and Zhong Sheng, Zhong Lixiao is the same too.
When he first learned about the existence of the Five Blessed Roots, he was also extremely shocked.

Afterwards, Zhong Lixiao sensed through his spiritual sense that Wei Wei was trembling towards a grave where Wei Dutou was buried.

Seeing this scene, Zhong Lixiao couldn't help but feel an endless sense of desolation in his heart.

Perhaps this is the helplessness of the little people!

It seems that you have read thousands of books and understood a lot of principles, but in fact, many of them are just what the upper class wants you to understand.

And the truth may be just a sentence, a sentence that couldn’t be simpler.

Time flies, and before I knew it, it was time to make dinner.

Wisps of smoke rose from the roofs of every household.

Soon, even the aroma of various dishes could be smelled.

It's a very ordinary scene, but it feels somewhat like a paradise in this world.

because.

The fact that there is smoke from the kitchen at least means that there is still some surplus food at home and people can have enough to eat.

And this is abundance and happiness!
Seeing this, Zhong Lixiao couldn't help but smile knowingly.

He didn't know if it was an illusion, but at that moment, Zhong Lixiao seemed to feel that everything around him suddenly disappeared, and was replaced by a stove fire.

Later, even the stove disappeared, leaving only a few flames.

Looking at the clusters of flames, Zhong Lixiao seemed to smell the fragrance of food, feel the warmth that dispelled the cold, and even saw some light that dispelled the darkness.

Zhong Lixiao didn't know how this extremely abnormal sensation came about, nor how long it lasted. When he woke up again, everything had disappeared, as if nothing had happened.

Zhong Lixiao was stunned for a moment.

Was that just now?

Zhong Lixiao subconsciously looked around at Zhong Sheng, only to see that he seemed to have seen nothing.

This made Zhong Lixiao frown slightly.

Looking at the stove fire just now, Zhong Lixiao confirmed that he was not mistaken. What was going on?

Could it be that Yuliang Manor is hiding some hidden treasure?

Zhong Lixiao immediately communicated with the Mountain Goddess through the seed of magical power.

When it comes to being familiar with Yuliangzhuang, perhaps no one is better than the Mountain Goddess.

Han Danniang was surprised and said, "My Lord, I was just about to report to you. At that moment, I also felt that everything in the world seemed to disappear suddenly, and only the stove fire was replaced."

Han Danniang described the scenes she saw very seriously, which were almost identical to what Zhong Lixiao saw.

Both of them were stunned and immediately became more concerned about the matter.

Could it be that Yuliang Manor really has some unexpected opportunity?

The two of them immediately compared the intelligence in more detail, and the results were still similar.

The aroma of food, the warmth and darkness that comes from the stove fire commonly used in ordinary households.

Especially, it is essentially different from the elixir fire and earth fire in the immortal way.

This made the two of them particularly curious, and they sensed more attentively.

Afterwards, they discovered that it seemed that only the two of them had discovered the fire.

The other cultivators in Yuliang Manor did not discover anything.

While feeling strange, the two became more and more eager, speculating that this might be a sign of some great opportunity.

What they all didn't expect was that all the subsequent searches did not yield any clues.

Considering that he saw the stove fire at the time when it was dinner time, Zhong Lixiao specifically chose the time for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

What disappointed Zhong Lixiao was that he couldn't see anything in the next three days.

This made Zhong Lixiao somewhat disappointed, and he guessed that it might be that the time for Fuyuan to be born had not yet come.

However, for a cultivator, especially one as young as him, the thing he has the most is time.

Zhong Lixiao decided to wait for a while.

While waiting, Zhong Lixiao saw Wei Wei who was in a state of despair.

Compared to his past when he had faith and pursuits, Wei Wei now does nothing but stare blankly in front of his father's grave or get drunk.

Zhong Lixiao didn't know how to comfort her for a moment.

Perhaps time is the best medicine!
The rabbit is missing and the black sinks. In the blink of an eye, another half a month has passed.

During this half month, Zhong Lixiao began to gradually integrate into the life of Yuliangzhuang market like an ordinary person.

I said goodbye to some old friends and met some new ones.

Occasionally I go to the theater to listen to opera, or to the teahouse to drink tea and listen to storytelling. It seems like time has gone back to thirty years ago.

This inevitably made Zhong Lixiao feel a lot of emotions, all kinds of sweet, sour, bitter, spicy and salty.

There are gains, but there are also many shortcomings.

Probably the biggest regret is that after hanging around in Yuliangzhuang for so long, I still haven't found any good seedlings that contain the seeds of supernatural powers.

Yuliangzhuang was like a big fish pond that once produced countless fish, but he drained all the fish out of it.

As for another regret, it was that half a month had passed and he still hadn't sensed the strange fire again.

What Zhong Lixiao didn't expect was that just when he thought Wei Wei was about to fall, the little fat boy came to him again.

What’s even more incredible is that the decadence in Wei Wei disappeared completely.

Zhong Lixiao was shocked!
What what?
Hasn’t Wei Wei always been under the control of his spiritual sense?
Seeing Zhong Lixiao's puzzled look, Wei Wei suddenly laughed, "Nothing, I just suddenly figured it out."

Figured out?

Wei Wei smiled and said, "Big brother, I have always insisted on calling you Master Immortal. Besides being worn down by reality and having low self-esteem, I am mostly jealous and envious."

"I'm jealous of you, big brother, because you were born with spiritual roots. I'm jealous that you can embark on the path of immortality without having to pay anything. I'm even jealous and get angry for no reason. Thank you, big brother, for saving my life without holding a grudge."

Zhong Lixiao didn't know what to say for a moment. Perhaps this is the famous "recipient's malice" in psychology!

However, he was still happy to see that Wei Wei was able to figure it out.

"How did you figure that out?"

Wei Wei smiled and said, "It's hard to explain, but if I have to say it, it's probably... Compared to the Five Blessings Spiritual Roots, I still prefer the process of pursuing the path of immortal martial arts."

"This is not only my pursuit, but also my father's pursuit and the pursuit of many martial arts masters."

"The Heaven-Repairing Pill and Five Blessings Spiritual Roots that Big Brother mentioned have indeed opened up these two paths, but as Big Brother said, the price is too high."

"A level 5 demon pill can even create a foreign golden pill. This is bound to be a huge loss-making business, and this path is destined to be shelved."

“There may be darkness in human nature, but it is more of a market choice, which conforms to the law of the universe.”

Upon hearing this, Zhong Lixiao couldn't help but look at Wei Wei with admiration.

It is truly amazing that one could have an epiphany one day and completely get out of the dead end of thinking without any guidance from anyone.

Zhong Lixiao patted Wei Wei on the shoulder and encouraged him, "Congratulations, big brother is proud of you!"

Zhong Lixiao understood that this might have something to do with the magical power of "Gluttonous Stomach" which can eliminate negative emotions by eating.

but.

Wei Wei's magical power "Gluttonous Stomach" has not yet awakened. It is really his hard work and luck that Wei Wei has achieved this step.

If a cultivator had this kind of mentality, it might be a rare opportunity for him to attain enlightenment.

Wei Wei smiled and said, "Thank you, big brother. Please help me protect the Tao. I plan to continue swallowing the Tao-seeking stone and try again."

clam?
Zhong Lixiao was a little confused.

"why?"

Wei Wei said seriously, "Big brother, I have heard your story from Brother Zhong Sheng since I was a child. You were stuck for three years without making any progress, and you tried every possible way except giving up. I plan to learn from you!"

Zhong Lixiao fell silent.

"Do you really have to do this?"

"Of course!"

"Even if I might die?"

"Never regret it even after nine deaths!"

Zhong Lixiao patted Wei Wei and said, "You look so much like your father!"

Wei Wei smiled immediately, "I'm very proud."

After thinking for a moment, Zhong Lixiao transmitted his voice into the secret passage, "Wei Wei, you may not know that you actually have the opportunity to awaken your magical power and become the master of magical power. The name of your magical power is... Gluttonous Stomach."

clam?
Wei Wei's eyes suddenly widened, and he could hardly believe his ears for a moment.

He grew up listening to stories about his elder brother Zhong Lixiao. How could he not understand what the three words "Lord of Supernatural Powers" meant?
Especially the name of the magical power is called... Gluttonous Stomach!

I don’t know how many thoughts suddenly flooded into Wei Wei’s mind, some positive, some negative, and even some containing countless evil thoughts.

But in the end, all these thoughts were suppressed by Wei Wei one by one.

Zhong Lixiao continued to explain various speculations about awakening supernatural powers.

After hearing this, Wei Wei's eyes became brighter and brighter. He said excitedly, "I see. No wonder my digestive ability is so strong, far exceeding that of an average Grandmaster."

"No wonder I can escape danger time and time again, and no wonder I want to devour the Seeking Truth Stone so much. This voice comes from the deepest part of my heart, perhaps it is the call of the Seed of Divine Power to me."

Wei Wei became more and more excited as he spoke. He said in surprise, "Big brother, I understand. The reason why I wanted to devour the Tao-Seeking Stone even though I knew I might die was because... Taotie, who can devour everything, is not afraid of any food!"

After Wei Wei finished speaking, he took out the Stone of Seeking the Truth and swallowed it in one gulp.

The Dao-seeking Stone was not small, and it made Wei Wei’s face turn purple, but he remained fearless.

He believed in Taotie, and believed in the power of Taotie that regarded everything as food!
The next moment, Zhong Lixiao suddenly felt the brightest light bursting out from Wei Wei's body.

Taotie, awakened!

(Note: Let me explain here that the protagonist's magical power "Heaven and Earth Bridge" can only grant the owner of the magical power his own martial arts spiritual roots, but cannot be given to others.)
