I, the Chaos Entity, joined the chat group at the start.

Eastern Wilderness God King: "Sigh!"

Jiang Taixu felt so lonely. Everyone else had their own things to do and were focused on, while he felt so miserable.

Han Li of the Seven Mysteries Sect: "Senior, I have time to chat with you. Please feel free to speak your mind. I am all ears."

Han Li's timely remarks allowed Jiang Taixu to see the brilliance of humanity and gave him some hope for the future.

Regarding updates, because QQ Reading follows a recommendation system, I normally update around 4,000 to 5,000 words per day. If I update more, I'll miss the recommendation period. Since it's released earlier here, recommendations only come after the initial launch and subsequent competition. Otherwise, without recommendations, there's no buzz, which is bad for a new book. After the recommendation period ends, I'll definitely update more frequently.

Chapter 35 Mortal Cultivation, The Growth of the Old Demon

The Great Way Chat Group.

Han Li of the Seven Mysteries Sect: "Senior Jiang, this is my story. Isn't it very ordinary?"

At this moment, everyone in the chat group was busy with their own things, except for Han Li and Jiang Taixu, who were relatively free.

One only needs to plant medicinal herbs and spiritual plants every day, while the other is trapped in the Emperor's Array and cannot be free.

For Jiang Taixu, having someone to chat with during these dark and hopeless days was very important, because that gave him hope for the future.

Eastern Wilderness God King: "It does sound ordinary, but I believe that anyone who can join this group chat must have something special about them."

Jiang Taixu could not fathom the Dao Chat Group; such treasures connected different worlds and were untouchable.

The members it invited must have something special about them.

Han Li of the Seven Mysteries Sect: "Thank you, senior."

Eastern Wilderness God King: "However, your master gives me a strange feeling, I can't quite put my finger on it."

Han Li of the Seven Mysteries Sect: "Strange? Doctor Mo's temper is indeed a bit eccentric, but he is indeed a good person and a good teacher."

Han Li was very grateful to Doctor Mo.

Because of Doctor Mo, his life at the Seven Mysteries Sect was relatively comfortable.

Although the Seven Mysteries Sect is a martial arts sect, the competition within it is equally fierce.

With Doctor Mo as his backer, Han Li did not suffer any harassment or unfair treatment.

Wudang Wang Ye: "There is no such thing as good without a reason. I also think this Doctor Mo is a bit strange."

As the health expert Wang also said, "Those involved are often confused, while bystanders see things clearly."

Han Li of the Seven Mysteries Sect: "Is there anything good in this world without a reason?"

These words sent a chill down Han Li's spine, and he suddenly realized what they meant.

Yes, with so many disciples joining the Seven Mysteries Sect back then, why was I the only one chosen?

In terms of talent, his good brother Li Feiyu was better than him and had better martial arts skills, but Doctor Mo didn't take a liking to him and instead chose the ordinary him.

Is there anything special about me? It's a potential that others don't have.

Eastern Wilderness God King: "Young friend Han Li, based on your description of the Everlasting Spring Technique you practice, it should not be an ordinary martial arts technique."

Han Li of the Seven Mysteries Sect: "The Everlasting Spring Skill was taught by Doctor Mo. Upon careful consideration, it is indeed different from ordinary martial arts techniques."

Practicing martial arts requires cultivating the body, strengthening bones and muscles, training in the coldest and hottest winter months, and persevering consistently.

Changchun Gong, on the other hand, does not require this; it only requires meditation.

Is he really practicing martial arts?

Doctor Mo didn't explain the origin of the Everlasting Spring Technique, but only told him to quickly cultivate it to the fourth level of Qi Refining.

Wudang Wang Ye: "As I understand it, Brother Han Li, your cultivation method is a bit like cultivating immortality. Did you really join a martial arts sect?"

Wang Ye half-jokingly remarked that, according to Han Li's introduction, Han Li's world should be a martial arts world.

But all the signs indicate that it is not as simple as it seems.

Han Li of the Seven Mysteries Sect: "Cultivating immortality? No way, I'm just a mortal, how could I possibly embark on the path to immortality and compare myself to immortals?"

That being said, considering the many wonders of the Everlasting Spring Technique, could this technique really be a method for cultivating immortality?

Han Li's heart raced. If this was a true cultivation technique, why did Doctor Mo let him cultivate it? Why didn't Doctor Mo cultivate it himself?

There must be something I don't know about this, which is also the essential difference between cultivators and mortals.

Wudang Wang Ye: "Brother Han, don't underestimate yourself. What's wrong with being a mortal? Mortals can also cultivate immortality, and they can embark on a legendary path."

Eastern Wilderness God King: "Indeed, where there's a will, there's a way."

Han Li of the Seven Mysteries Sect: "Thank you, Brother Wang, for your guidance, Senior Jiang."

……

In the mortal world, behind the Seven Mysteries Sect.

Han Li returned to reality, planted medicinal herbs here, practiced the Everlasting Youth Technique, and then used the small green bottle to cultivate the herbs, increasing their age for alchemy and cultivation.

In fact, Han Li's talent for cultivation is very poor, and his speed is also very slow. However, with the pills he takes, his actual cultivation speed is not slow at all.

"Finally, I've reached the fourth level of Qi Refining."

Feeling the power contained within his body, Han Li showed a hint of excitement. Unfortunately, this power was very gentle, with little offensive capability and no accompanying offensive methods.

Han Li currently possesses cultivation, but if it were a real competition, he might not even be as good as a martial arts expert.

"Just in case, I should learn some martial arts." Han Li felt a little uneasy and prepared to learn martial arts from Li Feiyu.

rustle.

Suddenly, Han Li heard a faint sound of footsteps coming from outside the courtyard.

Han Li knew from the sound of footsteps that Doctor Mo, who had been handling matters outside, had returned.

Although practicing the Everlasting Spring Technique does not increase combat power, it greatly enhances the five senses, especially hearing, allowing one to hear sounds from a great distance.

Han Li immediately went outside the courtyard and saw Doctor Mo, who looked somewhat tired and weathered.

"Master Mo." Han Li bowed slightly, his attitude respectful.

"Hmm, Han Li, what level have you reached in your Changchun Gong cultivation?"

Doctor Mo looks very old, but his eyes are sharp and piercing, showing that he was a powerful figure in his youth.

In reality, Dr. Mo's actual age is much younger than he appears.

Han Li originally wanted to share the news of his breakthrough to the fourth level with Doctor Mo, but instinctively blurted out, "Master Mo, it's still the second level of Qi Refining."

"Qi Refining Level 2, huh? You were at this level half a year ago, and you're still at it now. Han Li, have you been working hard at your cultivation?" Doctor Mo asked, his tone becoming more serious.

Upon hearing this, Han Li immediately replied, "Master Mo, I dare not slack off for even a day, and I diligently cultivate every day. Perhaps I am just dull-witted, and I have disappointed you."

Hearing this, Doctor Mo sighed, his expression softening considerably. He patted Han Li on the shoulder and said, "The path of cultivation lies in perseverance. Han Li, break through to a higher realm as soon as possible. My lineage is counting on you to carry it forward. You are my only successor, and we are like father and son."

"Disciple will certainly not disappoint Master." Han Li showed a look of deep gratitude, seemingly very moved.

"Go and cultivate diligently."

Doctor Mo told Han Li to continue his cultivation, and Han Li turned and left, but he noticed that Zhang Tie was not with Doctor Mo.

Zhang Tie was his fellow townsman and also a disciple of Doctor Mo, but he did not practice the Everlasting Spring Technique.

Every time Doctor Mo went out and came back with Zhang Tie, he did not see him this time.

"Master Mo, where is Zhang Tie?" Han Li couldn't help but ask.

“Zhang Tie has gone back to his hometown temporarily. It’s some personal business. Han Li, go and cultivate. Be single-minded and don’t have any distractions,” Doctor Mo instructed.

"Okay." Han Li didn't ask any further questions and went back to his room.

After Han Li disappeared, Doctor Mo turned his back, his smile vanishing instantly, replaced by a gloomy expression. "Sigh, it really is a pseudo-spiritual root. Cultivation is slow, but this is far too slow. If I had other options..."

"Once I reach the fourth level of Qi Refining, I... I can be reborn!"

“Cultivators are high above, and mortals cannot cultivate immortality. I, Mo Juren, refuse to believe this and will defy the heavens!”

Chapter 36: A Face Like Jade, an Exquisite Beauty

Earth, Jiang City.

Xu Yi and An Miaoyi practiced spiritual cultivation for a whole day and night. Only after the cultivation concluded did they end their battle. They had benefited immensely from this spiritual cultivation ritual.

An Miaoyi was fast asleep. Her brows were slightly furrowed, and she seemed very tired, but her beautiful face was stunning.

Thinking back on this experience, Xu Yi felt endless reminiscence.

During this spiritual cultivation ceremony, An Miaoyi repeatedly tried to transform into a knight to dominate the battlefield, suppressing and controlling Xu Yi, using all her skills.

However, Xu Yi was no ordinary person. He was now a powerful being at the Saint level. How could he be led by An Miaoyi? He easily taught An Miaoyi a lesson. However, An Miaoyi was not one to give up easily. Given the opportunity, she would once again transform into a knight and soar to new heights.

Moreover, he later used the supernatural power of the Ruthless Devouring Demon Art to devour and refine some of Xu Yi's special "origins," making it infinitely mysterious.

Xu Yi did not disturb An Miaoyi who was sleeping. He went to the balcony, took out a cigarette and lit it. At this moment, his thoughts were very calm and his mind was free of distractions.

"Ding, the check-in location has been refreshed."

"Ding, please go to the human territory of the Demon Emperor's descendant to sign in! You will receive a sign-in reward upon completion."

At this moment, the check-in system sounded.

"The descendant of the Demon Emperor, isn't this Yan Ruyu?!"

Xu Yi looked at the sign-in task and pondered for a moment.

This time the sign-in task was much easier, unlike the previous ones which were ridiculously difficult.

We went to the desolate and forbidden area again, and to the stone village in the chaotic ancient era.

The main chat group offers a private chat mode.

Xu Yi: "Fairy Yan, I want to go there."

Xu Yi directly messaged Yan Ruyu in the chat group.

Descendant of the Demon Emperor: "Senior, you're coming to my place?"

Yan Ruyu, who was cultivating, was slightly surprised and didn't understand why Xu Yi had suddenly come over.

Xu Yi: "Well, I have some personal matters to attend to. Also, please don't call me 'senior,' just call me by my name. In terms of age, you're probably older than me."

Descendant of the Demon Emperor: "...Alright, a very warm welcome to Fellow Daoist Xu Yi."

Since Xu Yi is a sage, and one should regard an enlightened person as a teacher, it is perfectly acceptable to address Xu Yi as "senior" out of politeness.

But since Xu Yi had already said that, she naturally couldn't keep calling him "senior."

Xu Yi: "Fairy Yan, here I come."

Descendant of the Demon Emperor: "Come on."

……

The Big Dipper shines in the eastern wilderness, in the land of Yan.

Yan was once the capital of the demon race. With the Azure Emperor becoming the last Great Emperor of the Ancient Era, this place was once extremely prosperous.

Another reason is that Yan is very close to the ancient forbidden zone.

It is said that in his later years, the Green Emperor once entered the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Zone to discuss the Dao with the Ruthless Great Emperor, and even borrowed the Bronze Immortal Palace from the Ruthless Great Emperor.

However, after the Azure Emperor passed away, and since Yan was ultimately a human territory, many demons left, leaving only a few demons behind.

However, at present, Yan Ruyu, as a descendant of the Demon Emperor, is hiding near Yan.

Yan, the territory of the demon race, the Xuan Yuan Sect.

Yan Ruyu was in a peach blossom grove, with a bewitching woman dressed in light gauze beside her.

The woman was graceful and charming, with a bright red mole between her eyebrows.

Her long, black hair danced lightly, making her jade-like skin appear even whiter and more delicate. She was truly more beautiful than a flower, a veritable enchanting beauty.

This is Qin Yao, Yan Ruyu's maid. Maid is just an ordinary title on the surface. In reality, Qin Yao is also a prodigy of the current demon race. Although she is not as good as Yan Ruyu, she is still extraordinary and a loyal follower of the Demon Emperor's lineage.

"Your Highness, who are you waiting for? Who exactly ordered you to wait here personally?" Qin Yao asked curiously.
