Cultivating Immortality Starts with Rubbing a Computer

Chapter 202 The Promise (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

The primary tool for cultivators to perceive the world is their divine sense.

And the divine consciousness that arises from the self-awareness entangled by the laws.

It will inevitably be severely affected.

The consequence of this influence is that the Golden Core cultivator is unable to objectively observe the world.

Just as someone with red-green color blindness can never know what true red and green are.

These Golden Elixir cultivators, whose power is disrupted by the laws of nature, also suffer from this problem.

Just like Bai Xiaoxin.

Of course, for the Golden Elixir, this interference is at the atomic scale.

That unknowable world.

It has little impact on the world above the atomic level.

But for those who achieve the Golden Core stage, this is especially fatal.

Because the laws reside at the atomic scale, those who are disturbed will inevitably be unable to properly perceive the world.

This makes it difficult to comprehend other laws.

This is an unchangeable drawback.

Even with the Golden Core's more in-depth observational capabilities, it is still difficult to properly understand this world.

This information is clearly recorded in the "Jade Dew Co-existence Manual" and other great supernatural texts.

Why did this happen?

"Could it be because the Golden Core Divine Sense, as the carrier of the laws, is itself a powerful disruptor that affects the superposition state of particles?"

"And different laws have different effects on superposition states, thus leading to different levels of law perspectives?"

Fang Jun guessed.

This was the possibility he had in mind.

That's quite reasonable.

If the divine sense of the Golden Core can observe the world without interfering with the superposition state of particles.

Then this world will hold few secrets for the Golden Elixir.

"But how will Yi Yi break through to the Golden Core stage if this is the case?"

"Her lucky Dao pattern, which is in a superimposed state, is not so easy to comprehend."

"If she can't comprehend it, wouldn't she have no hope of achieving the Golden Core stage for the rest of her life?"

Now, Mo Yiyi can't even talk about laws anymore.

They didn't even grasp the essence of the concept.

However, Mo Yiyi's cultivation did not slow down, which was essential for other cultivators.

It was as if Mo Yiyi didn't exist.

It does not need artistic conception as a carrier.

There is no need to pay attention to the movement of the five spiritual roots.

The five elements of spiritual energy will automatically return to their proper places, propelling Mo Yiyi's cultivation.

Its speed was surprisingly not slow.

It takes about three hundred years to reach the ninth level of Foundation Establishment.

Considering that it can be accelerated with elixirs.

Furthermore, Fang Jun also possesses longevity pills, so this speed is not unacceptable.

It's both outrageous and perfectly reasonable.

It seems that failing to do so would be disrespectful to Mo Yiyi.

But what about the Golden Elixir?
Unable to comprehend the laws that resonate with the Dao patterns of her own body.

How can we break through this barrier?
"Master, how is the deciphering of the Jade Dew Joint Study Manual I gave you going?"

Mo Yiyi appeared before Fang Jun. She had fair skin, beautiful eyebrows and eyes, a delicate nose, and lips like a touch of cinnabar.

A blue dress hugged her waist, further emphasizing her slender figure.

Fang Jun said calmly, "It's alright."

Mo Yiyi pressed further, "Is there a way to cultivate?"

Fang Jun asked, "You want to cultivate this?"

Mo Yiyi shook her head, but then nodded: "Master, you should also know how difficult it was for me to break through to the Golden Core stage."

"I mean, if I can't break through to the Golden Core stage, then this is the only path I can choose."

At this point, Mo Yiyi looked intently at Fang Jun: "Because I don't want Master to be left alone in this world."

Fang Jun said, "I won't be alone. I still have your junior sister."

Mo Yiyi smiled slightly: "Is this what you truly think, Master?"

After saying that, Mo Yiyi pretended to cry and made a sobbing sound: "I never thought that Master was such a heartless and cruel person."

"Your disciple still wishes to stay by your side, Master, to contribute many treasures, and to conduct experiments for you."

"It's not for the sake of immortality."

Fang Jun said, "Alright, stop crying. Master was just joking. I won't let you die."

Mo Yiyi burst into laughter through her tears, stepped forward and took Fang Jun's arm: "I knew Master was the best to me."

Fang Jun pulled his arm out of the squeeze and took out a lottery tube: "So for your future, draw a lot."

"I will decipher the principle of the separation law in the Jade Dew Joint Study Manual as soon as possible."

"Reproduce it using an easier method."

Mo Yiyi pouted upon hearing this, but still obediently drew a lot.

A thought suddenly occurred to Fang Jun.

Could it be that Mo Yiyi was lucky enough to know that she had to do this to achieve the Golden Core, so she gave him the "Jade Dew Co-existence Technique"?
……

Le Dynasty.

Imperial City.

The chubby Taoist priest led the boy and Qiaoqiao here, and headed straight into the palace as if no one else was around.

The surrounding guards were all very respectful.

He also bowed deeply to him.

However, the Taoist priest remained indifferent, ignoring them completely and offering no response. He simply spoke kindly to the boy and Qiaoqiao, saying, "Yufeng, Qiaoqiao, be careful when you enter the palace later."

"Although you are disciples recruited by the Immortal Sect, you must still be respectful to Foundation Establishment cultivators."

"This is not a matter of status or position."

"This is out of respect for the seniors on the path of cultivation."

Nan Yufeng and Nan Qiaoqiao nodded respectfully: "Yes, Master Fengtu."

They are no longer the mortals who only knew some knowledge about the cultivation world.

Under the tutelage of the Taoist priest, they had learned about the hierarchical divisions within the cultivation world.

Each step reveals a new level.

The difference between a cultivator's initial and perfected levels is vast.

Furthermore, it depends on their background.

The difference between them is like that between a beggar and an emperor.

Each step up a major staircase represents a significant difference, akin to the distinction between immortals and mortals.

Although they are disciples that the Immortal Sect is about to recruit, they are still just mortals at present.

Maintain respect for the senior Foundation Establishment cultivators.

It's a matter of course.

When they arrived at the main hall of the palace, it was already packed with people.

There were no fewer than a hundred people in the crowd.

Upon the arrival of Daoist Fengtu, Qi Refining cultivators immediately greeted him: "Fengtu, have you made any gains?"

Before Daoist Fengtu could answer, the cultivator's spirit-testing jade emitted a faint blue light.

"What? It's a single spiritual root!"

"Feng Tu, you are so lucky!"

"A single spiritual root, huh? To find someone with a single spiritual root in a mortal kingdom, you're quite lucky."

Daoist Fengtu chuckled and said, "Just lucky, just lucky. Actually, all spiritual roots are the same. There is no difference."

This is the truth.

The Immortal Sect, Qingshui Sect, will not give you any special rewards just because you have an Immortal Spirit Root.

To them, it seems that all cultivators with spiritual roots are equally important.

Fengtu Daoren: "Moreover, this mortal kingdom has just been developed and still has great potential."

"We might even find a mortal with a single spiritual root."

"Especially with the Spirit Testing Jade in hand, testing one's spiritual root becomes much simpler."

Upon hearing these words from Daoist Fengtu...

Other Qi Refining cultivators echoed this sentiment.

"As expected of a celestial sect, the things they develop are really useful. The spirit-testing stone at home is not only heavy and large, but it also cannot detect things from a distance."

"Yes, yes, the spirit-testing jade can directly detect those with spiritual roots within a radius of thirty feet, making the search efficiency much higher than before."

"In the past, we had to call people to line up one by one for testing, but now we can just fly around the city."

Nan Yufeng listened to the discussion next to Fengtu Daoren.

I couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

The soldiers knocking on the door the previous times were actually to bring people in for preliminary testing of their spiritual roots; it wasn't that the brother and sister had been exposed at all.

If you don't open the door...

And there's no spirit-testing jade.

My sister and I might miss this chance to be blessed by the immortals.

He lived his entire life in constant fear.

I really don't know who this celestial master from the immortal sect who invented this spirit-testing jade is.

……

Lady Mo Yiyi, the inventor of the spirit-testing jade, clung to her master's arm and acted coquettishly.

Moreover, he put all his weight on his master, leaving his body suspended in mid-air.

"Master, Master, you must figure it out as soon as possible."

"I don't want to break through to the Golden Core stage when I'm old and gray."

"Because that will cause your appearance to age prematurely."

Cultivators can certainly use magic to transform themselves in countless ways and permanently change their physical form.

It's even more amazing than plastic surgery on Earth.

They can even maintain their youthful appearance until death.

But this doesn't change anything.

That is the aging of the soul (self-awareness).

The closer a cultivator gets to the end of their lifespan, the older their soul becomes, and the more it tends towards chaos.

Ordinary people may not be able to perceive it.

However, as long as the other party does not deliberately conceal it, a cultivator's divine sense can basically detect it without any hindrance.

Souls that tend towards chaos also share characteristics with old people in the mortal world: they become increasingly dull and lifeless.

He seemed to be in a daze.

A cultivator's thinking ability does not entirely depend on the soul, but according to research by people in the cultivation world.

Things like comprehension still depend on the soul.

An old soul is not as insightful as a young and vigorous one.

This is a theory widely accepted in the cultivation world.

This is what Mo Yiyi meant by aging appearance.

A soul that exudes a decaying aura is just like a mortal with a decaying appearance.

It is something that some beauty-loving monks dislike.

"Then you should hurry up and study the principles of the Jade Dew Companionship Technique. Don't be lazy or slack off."

"Hmph ╭(╯^╰)╮, Master, that person clearly works from dawn till dusk and has never been lazy or slack off. How can you frame them? Master, your speed is the key, don't be so slow, okay?"

"How about this, even if something unexpected happens, your master will refine a youth-preserving pill for you to ensure your appearance doesn't age. What do you say?"

In the world of cultivation, the elixir of youth preservation naturally maintains the appearance of the soul.

It allows an aging soul to retain the vitality and creativity of its youth.

Therefore, the Youth Preservation Pill in the cultivation world is an extremely expensive elixir.

It is far more valuable than any ordinary elixir used for cultivation.

After all, this is a crucial factor in whether or not one can break through to the Golden Core stage.

Of course, it's expensive.

"But Master, I've heard that the process from Golden Core to Nascent Soul is still very time-consuming. No matter how effective the Youth Preservation Pill is, it can't compare to actually breaking through to Golden Core faster. That way, there will be enough energy and time to break through to Nascent Soul. Master, you don't want your good disciple to fail to break through to Golden Core, do you?"

Fang Jun: “…”

He really wanted to ask Mo Yiyi where she learned that phrase.

But after thinking about it, I felt that "a good article is born of nature, and a skillful hand may occasionally produce it."

It's just a similar phrase.

If you talk too much, things will eventually come out.

"Because you were disobedient and stuck to your master, your sweat made your master all wet."

"Hmm?" Mo Yiyi examined her body and asked curiously, "Master, we're at the Foundation Establishment stage? Would we sweat because of this?"

"A metaphor, a metaphor, do you understand? Have you forgotten life in the mortal era? You'll sweat from body heat if you get this close to people."

“Master, of course I haven’t forgotten. I still remember the first time I met you, I was immediately struck by your extraordinary appearance. How could there be such a handsome and extraordinary person in the world?”

"No, no, no, your master is just an ordinary person with an average appearance. There's nothing special about me."

“Master, you’re lying again! You’ve deliberately concealed your appearance, haven’t you? You once had a theory that although cultivators wouldn’t let their guard down because of a person’s appearance, if someone’s appearance isn’t outstanding, they will still attract less attention.”

"...Um...I think I said that before."

“It’s not that I think, it’s that I’ve said it before. But Master, have you forgotten one thing? In a world where everyone’s appearance is outstanding, your deliberately feigned ordinariness will attract attention.”

“I know that, but not every cultivator is that bored. Some cultivators don’t even bother to make their cultivation techniques stand out, even if it’s not because of their cultivation methods.”

Cultivators are not ordinary people.

They are beings who wield power.

Therefore, they primarily judge people by their strength, not their appearance.

Social status is determined by power.

Furthermore, even a cultivator at the first level of Qi Refining still went to the satellite cities next to the cultivator city, which were mostly inhabited by mortals, to become a superior person.

Therefore, there is very little such thing as appearance anxiety.

They might even consider maintaining a unique and exclusive appearance as a characteristic of themselves.

"Then Master, isn't your theory useless? If everyone is bored, then things like appearance are unimportant, aren't they?"

"Yi Yi! Master has gotten used to it..."

"Master ╭(╯^╰)╮~"

"Alright alright."

"Om-!"

As the magic flowed, Fang Jun's appearance changed, transforming him from an ordinary-looking young man into a handsome and refined teenager.

Judging from his appearance, he was not much older than Mo Yiyi; they looked like they were the same age.

Mo Yiyi exclaimed, "Master! How can you be so young!"

Fang Jun used his divine sense to observe his true face, which had not appeared since leaving Anxi City: "Why can't I be that young? You know, my lifespan is longer than yours. If you don't work hard, you might die before me."

Mo Yiyi blinked her beautiful big eyes: "Master, isn't this all thanks to your hard work? I just need to assist from the sidelines."

Fang Jun couldn't help but say, "Yi Yi, you..."

Mo Yiyi interrupted Fang Jun in a coquettish tone, "Master, you're so young. You're practically the same age as me."

Fang Jun said, "No, Master is ten years older than you, so you're not the same age."

"That's not how it's calculated. A ten-year age gap is how mortals calculate it. We cultivators have long lifespans, three hundred years for Foundation Establishment and one thousand for Golden Core. So a ten-year age gap is insignificant. Therefore, the difference between my master and me is like that between a childhood sweetheart and an older brother."

"Do you have a childhood sweetheart?"

"Master wants to know?"

"Do not want to."

"why?"

"I don't want to, that's all. But I know you don't."

"Wait! Master, you didn't just use the Dao of Heavenly Secrets to calculate that, did you?"

"At my level, I don't need to calculate many small things. As long as I turn my mind, the answer will naturally come to me. There's no need to calculate at all."

"But Master, you obtained the answer through the Way of Heaven, didn't you? This is unfair! This is unfair!"

"It's because you didn't work hard enough that you haven't reached this level."

Fang Jun knew, of course, that the so-called Dao of Heavenly Secrets was the Great Dao of the Ancestor of Heavenly Secrets.

But the problem is that this tool is just too good to use.

Not using it would be like throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

Moreover, to put it bluntly, the Great Dao of Heavenly Secrets is almost omnipresent in the cultivation world, and has formed a universal rule similar to universal gravitation.

If you really don't need to use it, it's not like the Celestial Ancestor can't calculate it.

Therefore, Fang Jun knew perfectly well that using the Heavenly Secrets would be like using AI on the internet in his previous life.

All the data you transmit will end up on someone else's server to train AI.

Fang Jun will still know how to use it.

No need, it's just meaningless self-binding.

"Master, but I just don't understand the secrets of heaven! This thing doesn't welcome me! It doesn't like me at all!"

Mo Yiyi is capable of using celestial secrets.

He also used the mathematical methods taught by Fang Jun to access the secrets of heaven.

However, the secrets that Mo Yiyi used did not seem to inherit his good fortune and appeared to be very, very ordinary.

Just like an ordinary person using a calculator to do math, inputting data and getting results.

It is nothing special in itself.

In other words, Fang Jun handed the calculator to any cultivator whose cultivation level was the same as Mo Yiyi's, who was at the first level of Foundation Establishment.

They will all reach Mo Yiyi's current level.

"This is proof that you're not working hard enough! If you worked harder, the Heavenly Path would welcome you. It might even choose you as its master, allowing you to ascend to the heavens in one step."

"Hmph! I don't want to. How can this garbage avenue compare to luck? All the hard work and scheming is in vain. In the end, luck is better. As long as luck is there, you can get everything."

"Boom--!"

Fang Jun flicked Mo Yiyi's head: "Don't say things that are detrimental to hard work. Luck is important, but hard work is indispensable. Haven't you achieved your current success through diligent practice?"

Mo Yiyi covered her forehead with one hand and draped the other over Fang Jun, muttering, "It doesn't seem like it. I feel like I can get it so easily."

And some things seem impossible to obtain no matter how hard you try.

Fang Jun was naturally unaware of what Mo Yiyi was thinking. He simply said with a stern face, "Yiyi! Have the recent assignments been too easy, so that you still have the leisure to joke around with your master here!"

"Get down right now!"

"Go and finish your research!"

"Don't you want to complete your research on the separation of laws in the 'Jade Dew Joint Study Technique' as soon as possible?"

"To become a Golden Core cultivator as soon as possible!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of magical power caused Mo Yiyi to slide off Fang Jun's body.

Mo Yiyi stood to the side and muttered, "I don't want to."

Fang Jun snorted coldly.

Mo Yiyi said with a wronged expression, "Master, you told me that cultivation requires a balance of work and rest, not that I should cultivate into a stone."

"When you were in Hexi City, every time I went out, I would go to have tea with other Foundation Establishment cultivators."

"Then he went to see a play with the other Foundation Establishment cultivators."

"You haven't even gone to see it with your disciple."

"Besides, Master, you have so many separate consciousnesses, and so do I. Separating one won't cause any major problems."

That was socializing; it was for establishing a foothold in Hexi City.

To conduct certain intelligence gathering.

It's not simply about balancing work and rest.

Moreover, even when we are in a state of partial consciousness, we cannot relax; we must use it for work.

These words were just swirling in Fang Jun's mind.

It wasn't said aloud.

Seeing Mo Yiyi's appearance, Fang Jun remembered how often she would make offerings to him: "Then I'll just take you to see a play next time."

Fang Jun didn't realize he had softened his heart.

There were no other emotions either.

However, considering Mo Yiyi's contributions, it would be a bit unreasonable for her, as her master, to continue speaking.

No different from those bosses in my previous life who ruthlessly exploited their students.

Fang Jun didn't want to become that kind of person, so he agreed to the condition because of Mo Yiyi's contributions.

That's it.

After hearing Fang Jun's words, Mo Yiyi's eyes lit up with a smile: "Master, really!"

"real."

"Don't go back on your word."

When have I ever gone back on my word?

“I remember my master telling me that he would stay in Hexi City for a very long time, but he ran away after only half a year. He said he was going to run far away and would never come back, but he came back after half a year. He did the same thing twice.”

"I already told you that it wasn't running away, it was a strategic retreat... no! It was a strategic withdrawal, that's right, it should be called a strategic withdrawal!"

"But I still ran, and in the end, my master even asked me to point out the direction to escape."

"Mo Yiyi! Do you still want to watch the play?!"

"miss you!"

"Then stop talking nonsense."

Mo Yiyi smiled playfully: "Understood, Master."
