Young master, why not become a corpse immortal?

Chapter 206 The Path to Immortality

Following the map, Lin Jiang quickly found the "Body Transformed into Gold" bookcase in the entire study.

The book "Body Transformed into Gold" was so numerous that it could not be carried in one stack, so it was expanded into two mountain of books.

As Lin Jiang walked among them, he suddenly felt suffocated by the piles of books.

"Can you find the first volume of 'Body Transforms into Gold'?"

Lin Jiang asked the little golden figure beside him, and the little golden figure nodded, then darted into the pile of books and disappeared into it.

The book swayed slightly, and after a moment, a small golden head popped out.

The little golden statue held a booklet in its hands and handed it to Lin Jiang as if it were a precious treasure.

Lin Jiang took it and saw that it was exactly the first volume of "Transforming Body into Gold" that he needed.

When he opened it, its contents were revealed to Lin Jiang:
"The Golden Elixir is the essence of the five metals, which is the essence of the strong and vigorous nature of Heaven and Earth. It is based on silver, with gold as its marrow, supplemented by eight stones, placed in the elixir palace, and circulated through the trigrams of Li and Kan. After seven cycles of the fire talisman, nothing is removed and the true essence is preserved, thus forging a golden body."

"Those who become gold are impervious to metal and iron, avoid water and fire, cannot be shaken by the power of mountains and rocks, and cannot be swayed by the techniques of the vast ocean."

really,

Based on this description, Lin Jiang had already confirmed that his true skill was the ability to transform his body into gold.

Those with a metal element in their constitution are immune to ordinary techniques; unless someone also possesses a metal element, it is extremely difficult to harm them in the slightest.

Recalling the red mark left by the blade of the Broken Separation Blade, Lin Jiang deduced that after the other party used the Star Pointing Technique, their methods must have been tainted with some metal element.

However, due to insufficient metal element, it cannot cause obvious harm to its body.

Just then, Lin Jiang suddenly noticed that there were other words below:
"However, this is merely an outward appearance, the most superficial and useless technique for achieving gold. I hope practitioners will not go astray."

Upon seeing this, Lin Jiang couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

Is it the most...most obvious and useless?
I find it quite useful.

Recalling his own battles, Lin Jiang felt that what was written in the booklet must be nonsense.

He continued turning the pages and saw that the book indeed described the wonders of the Golden Body:
"Those who attain the Golden Nature will have their Qi and Dharma flowing freely, and their skills will be developed internally. The wonders of the Great Elixir can all be refined through the Golden Nature. Those who are most skilled in cultivating this path will find that if the Golden Nature is not disordered, then the Dharma will not be disordered. If the Lord does not move, then the world will be at peace. Unless there is a fire or a disturbance, it will be indestructible."

Although the text was written in a difficult and awkward way, Lin Jiang could still roughly guess its meaning.

This should be the best way for his current body to be compatible with all the pill formulas in the entire library.

After reading this passage, cold sweat started pouring down Lin Jiang's forehead again.

Wouldn't it be that... my body is the best candidate for a cultivation technique?

As a result, he turned into a brute and a reckless brute.

It was originally a fundamental and profound art of alchemy, but now he hasn't learned any of the myriad methods and is relying entirely on his fists to beat people up.

No wonder the author of this book solemnly noted here: "You can't just rely on superficial skills!"

It's like painstakingly crafting a top-tier spell name and handing it over to someone. If that person sees that the spell's power and defense are extremely high, their blood pressure will definitely spike if they don't even use a single spell.

Oh, this person is myself.

Then I'm using it correctly! With such high strength and defense given to your spellcaster account, how could I not play as a warrior?
Lin Jiang flipped through the books for a while longer and inexplicably found himself becoming somewhat addicted to them.

The text in the books is mostly tedious and complicated, so dense that it makes one dizzy.

But when Lin Jiang looked at it, he couldn't help but compare the content with the techniques he had seen before, as if he were directly seeing the external essence.

If he hadn't experienced the martial world, he could have easily read these books, but he would never have had this kind of feeling.

However, after reading through the entire first volume of the explanation, Lin Jiang did not find any content about bringing the dead back to life.

Lin Jiang was certain that his body had already been placed in a coffin, so he couldn't be sure whether "body turning into gold" could bring the dead back to life.

Put the book back. Lin Jiang's path to immortality, if he told the little golden statue about it, the little golden statue would immediately shake its head.

"Isn't this book in the library?" Lin Jiang asked curiously.

The little golden statue shook its head.

"Then why won't you let me see?" Lin Jiang asked, somewhat puzzled. "Is it because my cultivation level isn't high enough yet?"

The little golden statue began to nod.

"Just watching without learning isn't enough?"

The little golden statue nodded again.

Lin Jiang couldn't help but feel curious.

What exactly is this Path to Immortality? It's something you can't even look at.

The little golden figure hesitated. Seeing that Lin Jiang's curiosity remained undiminished, it pondered for a moment, then ran off in one direction.

A moment later it ran back, holding a blank book in its hand.

Lin Jiang felt a strange attraction to the booklet.

"Is this the Path to Immortality?"

The little golden figure nodded.

It then stood upright, like a bookshelf, indicating that the first page should be opened.

Lin Jiang's gaze was also subconsciously drawn to the book.

At that moment, Lin Jiang saw the pages of the book.

My consciousness seemed to explode in an instant.

In a daze, he seemed to see a mountain mist. A rugged path wound its way up to the mountaintop.

Thick fog blanketed the fields, obscuring the road ahead and the view.

Looking towards the mountain peak, a figure could be vaguely seen standing at the end of the mist.

Due to the thick fog, Lin Jiang could only see a blurry figure from behind.

And that person was facing forward.
It was a huge ball of light! From within that ball of light, tendrils that looked like lines were slowly emerging, and in the very center of those tendrils was a perfectly round golden elixir.

"Snapped!"

The sound of the book closing startled Lin Jiang from his reverie. He instinctively looked at the little golden figure, who had already closed the book.

Lin Jiang's mind was slightly chaotic for a moment. After calming down, he suppressed the chaotic thoughts and then found that many floating words and phrases were floating in his mind.

But all these words piled up in Lin Jiang's mind, making it difficult for him to digest them for a long time.

A jumble of conflicting information flooded my mind, yet I couldn't piece together a single piece of useful information.

Lin Jiang understood why the little golden man wouldn't let him read the book.

Given the current situation, if Lin Jiang were to actually finish reading the entire "Path to Immortality," his mental strength probably wouldn't be able to sustain it.

However, Lin Jiang's expression became somewhat complicated at this moment.

He remembered Lin Shengfeng.

Could it be that the old man has become erratic because of this book he's been forcing himself to read?

Could it be that the reason the original body was resurrected as gold is because of this?

There was no way to verify it, but his intuition told him that this was probably the case.

He sighed deeply.

but,

The one who tied the knot must untie it. Even if this book can exhaust a person's spirit, there should be methods in these prescriptions to restore a person's spirit to normal.

I cannot bear to look at the path to immortality now, but if I learn the alchemical formulas, I will be able to look at this book again.

Lin Jiang thought for a moment:
Do you have any recommended formulas for me to learn?

The little golden man was quite familiar with the prescriptions, so asking him was much better than struggling to search through the catalog himself.

Nodding emphatically, the little golden man quickly left.

A moment later, it returned to Lin Jiang with several booklets in its arms.

Looking down, the names in the register came into view.

Looking down, the title of the book came into view.

"Transform all things", "Purify without dust", "Cherish the future".

Liu Fangyue was reading "Transformation of All Things" when Lin Jiang simply took the other two books.

"Cherish the future" is a divination method. After cultivation, one can glimpse past events that have occurred in this place. The deeper one's cultivation, the further back one can see.

Purification without dust is a defensive technique that allows one to create a dust-free environment around oneself, preventing any psychological attacks from entering.

After seeing the two methods, Lin Jiang's eyes were immediately drawn to Jing Wuchen.

If I learn this method, won't I no longer be afraid of those psychological tactics?
Then we can just rush over and punch them all.

Lin Jiang chose Jing Wuchen without hesitation.

……

The next morning, Lin Jiang opened his eyes.

He spent the entire night reading books in his inner palace, but because his Qi was circulating within his body, Lin Jiang did not feel any fatigue at this moment.

He stretched out his hand, pressed gently between two fingers, and a faint light emanated from his palm.

Gazing at the halo of light, Lin Jiang felt his mind gradually calm down.

Clean and dust-free.

After trying all night, Lin Jiang can only manage to operate the most basic techniques.

Even with only this most basic method, it can still provide Lin Jiang with considerable assistance.

After trying this method, Lin Jiang silently recited Liu Fangyue's name in his heart.

A moment later, he suddenly opened his eyes.

He formed a hand seal, and a faint light emanated from Lin Jiang's palm.

Lin Jiang opened his palm, and a tiny squirrel appeared in his hand.

The little squirrel was curiously looking around and sniffing its nose.

This was condensed by Lin Jiang using Qi.

The foundation for all things!

really!

Liu Fangyue can use what she has learned!

At this moment, Lin Jiang was filled with excitement.

I never thought it would actually happen!
However, Lin Jiang immediately began to ponder.

Where can I find so many palace artifacts to learn from?

If the young talents study this, can they be considered to have mastered the method themselves?
He blinked, then suddenly grabbed something from the table next to him.

The tiger robe ended up in Lin Jiang's hands.

"My boss?"

Tiger Robe was somewhat puzzled, wondering what Lin Jiang was up to.

Lin Jiang chuckled:
"Have you finished refining your cougar?"
