Chapter 61 The Descent of Immortals and Demons
"You, too, can cultivate immortality, is that right?"
Lin Ruoxue looked at Li Lan calmly, her beautiful eyes as clear as autumn water, seemingly able to see through the truth and falsehood in people's hearts.
Li Lan smiled slightly and said calmly, "Do you know that my ancestors were also from the Immortal Realm?"
Lin Ruoxue said, "The Li family of the Immortal Realm has been famous for a long time."
"So, is it strange that I can cultivate immortality?"
Li Lan admitted it directly.
But Lin Ruoxue suddenly reached out, her movements so swift that they were truly unexpected. Li Lan remained motionless as Lin Ruoxue's hand was already on his pulse.
Her brow furrowed slightly.
"Top-tier".
There was only the pulse of martial arts, but absolutely no trace of a cultivator.
Li Lan has not yet become a cultivator!
"Men and women should not touch each other. Miss Lin, aren't you afraid of what others will say if you're pulling and tugging like this?"
Li Lan smiled slightly.
Lin Ruoxue released her hand and said, "Thank you for your guidance to Ruobing, but Ruobing is exceptionally talented and will go to the Immortal Realm sooner or later. Although Lord Li is of the Li family bloodline, he has no hope of cultivation after all... You are a smart person and should understand what I mean."
After saying that, she drifted away.
Clearly, she knew her younger sister Lin Ruobing all too well, and knew that Lin Ruobing's sudden transformation into a cultivator couldn't have been without external help, and the only possibility was Li Lan...
Since Li Lan's ancestors were from the immortal realm, it's not surprising that he knew some of the immortal realm's cultivation secrets.
However, after examining Li Lan's physique just now, she found that he was indeed a useless body that could not be used for cultivation.
"Do you want me to stay away from Lin Ruobing?"
Li Lan raised his wine glass and smiled slightly.
He neither disliked nor liked Lin Ruoxue; he simply treated her as a stranger.
However, now that they are divorced, it is none of the other party's business to interfere with what he wants to do.
"Lord Li, why are you drinking alone here in sorrow?"
Just as Lin Ruoxue left, another person approached. He was a young man in gray clothes who was not very noticeable in the crowd, but his eyes were extremely bright and intelligent.
A woman dressed as a man.
"Who is your Excellency?"
Li Lan asked a question.
"Shangguan Xiaoxiao".
Li Lan raised an eyebrow slightly. This was the Holy Maiden of the Taiyi Sect, and Li Guan's fiancée...
"Prince Li Guan is surrounded by admirers, so why is the Holy Maiden hiding here?"
Li Lan glanced at Li Guan, who was surrounded by people toasting him not far away.
"He is him, I am me, and there is no relationship between us."
Shangguan Xiaoxiao smiled calmly and got straight to the point, saying, "A business deal, are you in or not?"
Li Lan said, "Holy Maiden, please speak freely."
"Heaven, earth, sun, moon, stars—all the poems and articles you can write, exhaust your talents, and write them for me."
Li Lan was slightly startled. He now knew that some of the Taiyi Sect's techniques had extremely powerful origins, but they often required "literary luck" to unseal them.
The more difficult the cultivation method, the more profound and magnificent the literary imagery is required to overcome it. The imagery corresponding to heaven, earth, sun, moon and stars is extremely vast. What kind of cultivation method will be unsealed?
"I wonder what the Holy Maiden intends to offer in exchange?" Li Lan asked calmly.
"A hundred catties of spiritual food."
She said it calmly.
Li Lan was deeply moved.
In the present day, spiritual objects are hard to come by within the territory of Dali. The Northern Hu delegation brought a hundred catties of spiritual objects to the capital, which caused all sorts of troubles. But now, Shangguan Xiaoxiao is so nonchalant about it.
“A hundred catties of spiritual treasure is no small amount,” Li Lan pondered.
“A hundred catties of spiritual treasures are extremely rare in Dali, but in Beihu, it’s not so difficult to gather them all.”
Shangguan Xiaoxiao said, "The Northern Hu land is an ancient battlefield that has buried countless great figures who shook the world. After their deaths, their essence and energy did not decay and turned into Azure Cloud Fruits, their bones did not perish and gave birth to White Bone Flowers, and their blood essence and blood essence and blood spirit mushrooms appeared... Otherwise, where do you think the spiritual objects in this barren land of the Abyss Realm came from?"
Li Lan was slightly startled; this was the first time he had learned about the origins of spiritual objects in the world.
It actually originated from a powerful figure who died in ancient times?
One whale fall brings life to all things!
"This is the deposit,"
Shangguan Xiaoxiao took out a jade box and handed it to Li Lan, saying, "This box contains powder made from blood spirit mushrooms. Its spiritual power is enough to be equivalent to twenty catties of Qingyun fruit. After you finish writing your article, I will give you the remaining eighty catties."
After saying that, she turned around and left.
Li Lan was quite surprised. He took the jade box, opened it a crack, took a light sniff, and his spirits lifted!
Shangguan Xiaoxiao... she certainly showed great sincerity!
Even though the Taiyi Sect has connections, and even though she is the Holy Maiden of the Taiyi Sect, taking out this box of Blood Lingzhi powder is probably a huge financial loss for her.
……
The banquet ended.
Emperor Xianxian granted the Prince of Annan permission to temporarily reside in the Jinxiu Palace so that he could consult Lin Ruobing on cultivation methods at any time.
“Teacher, Li Guan has obtained the Yin Marrow of the Mysterious Maiden, so he should be able to master the True Dragon Technique very soon.”
Li Yuedao.
"You shall go into seclusion from this day forward. The world's fortune, along with the spiritual treasures bestowed by His Majesty, should be sufficient."
Li Yue's biggest advantage over Li Guan is that she is a woman.
Therefore, it is not necessary to use too many extremely yin substances to neutralize it!
"it is good!"
Li Yue then began her cultivation in the secret room, with ten catties of Qingyun Fruit and five catties of Baigu Flower placed around her.
"Brother-in-law, I also want your help in my cultivation!"
Lin Ruobing, however, slipped into Li Lan's room like a little glutton.
Li Lan smiled slightly. He took the blood spirit mushroom powder given to him by Shangguan Xiaoxiao one by one, and his spiritual energy surged instantly!
The blood spirit powder, equivalent to twenty catties of Qingyun fruit, provided him with more than 30,000 points of spiritual energy!
31028 points!
Without hesitation, Li Lan poured his energy into the True Dragon Technique.
Suddenly, the meridians in his body bulged instantly, his blood and qi circulated rapidly, the spiritual energy in his dantian surged, and his True Dragon Technique improved at an astonishing pace...
A flood of insights and experiences came to his mind, and in an instant it felt as if he had endured many years; Li Lan's interface had changed:
Name: Li Lan
Realm: Qi Refining Level 4
Martial Arts Techniques: True Dragon Skill (Fourth Level), Profound Yang Skill (Mortal Martial Arts, Perfected), Illusory Cloud Needle Technique (Mortal Martial Arts, Great Success), Nine-Turn Cotton Palm (Mortal Martial Arts, Perfected)
Spirituality: 15874 points
Li Lan stopped the car by force!
Because he discovered that the higher the level of the True Dragon Technique, the more spiritual energy it consumed.
He spent about 6000 points going from the second to the third floor.
From the third to the fourth level, the number is over 12000!
Based on this calculation, how many floors would be needed to go from the fourth to the fifth floor?
Li Lan felt...it would probably cost around 18,000!
However, there are only 15000 points left now. Even if all of them are invested, it will not be enough to improve the situation. It is better to save them for future use.
"Shangguan Xiaoxiao..."
He couldn't help but whisper, quite eager for the remaining eighty catties of spiritual items that Shangguan Xiaoxiao had mentioned!
"You still dare to think about other women?"
Lin Ruobing, who was busy on his lap, suddenly raised her head and said angrily, "I'll bite you to death!"
Li Lan suddenly pulled her legs back, startled, and quickly dodged, saying, "I was thinking about how to kill her for you. After all, with the arrival of the Immortal Path, you and she are bound to fight, aren't you?"
"Really?"
"Of course it's true."
"Hmph, then I forgive you!"
"By the way, Ruobing, did the Emperor grant you immortal techniques?"
Lin Ruobing nodded: "He copied down all the spells passed down by the immortals on Seeking the Dao Mountain and gave them to me, hoping I would instruct him..."
"let me see."
The True Dragon Technique provided him with a higher realm and abundant spiritual energy, but he still needed to combine it with corresponding spells to unleash its full combat power.
Martial arts techniques such as the Illusionary Cloud Needle Technique are far from sufficient!
Beihanhajue's display of fire magic during the battle left a deep impression on Li Lan!
……
"The Yin Marrow of the Mysterious Woman!"
Jinyang Palace.
Li Guan looked at the jade bottle in his hand, his eyes blazing with intense light.
"We will protect you!"
Granny Mu spoke, saying, "Take this and immediately go into seclusion!"
Li Guan nodded: "Once I have mastered the True Dragon Technique and ascended the throne, all those who oppose me will die!"
A fierce glint flashed in his eyes!
……
"Holy Maiden, that's all your savings, and you're just going to give it to him like that?"
Snow Moon Fairy looked at Shangguan Xiaoxiao with a complicated expression.
Shangguan Xiaoxiao said, "What does it matter as long as the seal of the Luo Tian Great Law can be broken?"
She smiled slightly, "As long as I cultivate the Luo Tian Great Art, I will be able to become an immortal without the help of the True Dragon Technique!"
Fairy Xueyue said, "No matter how talented Li Lan is, human strength has its limits. How can he withstand a literary seal that has lasted for thousands of years?"
Shangguan Xiaoxiao said, "Besides him, do I have any other choice?"
The Snow Moon Fairy remained silent.
……
"I must hurry up and cultivate!"
In a secret room, Shi Zhong and Shi Hao took out a rough bone and ground it into powder.
Those were things they brought from Zhongzhou, the corpses of ancient powerful beings that their tribes had dug up. Although their spirituality was weaker than that of Qingyun Fruit and other similar items, they were still usable.
"If we don't become cultivators soon, we will truly fall behind the entire era!"
Shi Hao also whispered.
……
"Sister, this is a spiritual item sent by the sect. Whether it can condense sword spiritual energy depends on this."
Sword Reflecting the Day and Sword Hidden in the Moon, both with solemn expressions.
Jian Yinyue raised his hand, drawing upon the spiritual energy of the creature and channeling it into himself!
……
"For whom do you burn incense?"
Dori-ji Temple is located on the outskirts of Kyoto.
Before a stone Buddha, an old monk dressed in a gray robe calmly looked at Kujue.
Kujue, with a devout expression, said, "The King of Annam, the Queen of Annam, and the Grand Secretary of the current dynasty, Li Lan."
"These three people are concerned about all living beings, have made great contributions, and also possess Buddha-nature."
The old monk nodded: "If you become a true Buddha one day, you will not need to burn incense and pray; you will be able to save him!"
"Begin your cultivation; I will protect you on your path."
Kujue nodded: "Thank you, Master."
……
The battle fought by the Northern Hu delegation shocked the entire martial arts world of Dali.
Everyone has realized that the era of martial artists has passed.
Cultivators are the true masters of this era!
……
"Although some unexpected things happened, fortunately, Li Guan still managed to obtain the Mysterious Maiden's Yin Marrow, and the spiritual essence of the Imperial Seal has finally been obtained by us!"
The Northern Hu delegation has already left the capital. Little Prince Numochitian looked at the black skull in his hand, his eyes full of anticipation!
Lin Ruoxue has transferred all the power of faith of the common people contained in the Imperial Seal to this skull.
"Hehe, when the immortals of the celestial realm descend, the saints will also return, and the ancient hatred will be avenged!"
He cracked his whip and quickened his pace!
……
Time flies.
In the blink of an eye, a month and a half has passed.
On this day, on the mountain of seeking enlightenment, the ancient stone tablet suddenly emitted a pale yellow light.
Within the yellow light, another world seemed to be reflected, where, on a winding, illusory path, figures waited silently!
Boom!
Lightning flashed and thunder roared, and it seemed that some kind of power was awakening between heaven and earth. In the dim light, there seemed to be a phantom dragon shadow roaming among the lightning!
"what is that?"
"A real dragon?"
"What's going on? Has someone mastered the True Dragon Technique and is about to pave the path to immortality, guiding the immortals of the celestial realm to descend?"
In an instant, the entire city of Kyoto was shaken, and the world was shocked!
……
Northwest of Dali.
On the battlefield, shouts of battle never ceased.
After Lin Zheng led his troops into battle, they were truly swift and decisive. This was the final battle, and the rebellion in the Northwest was about to be quelled!
"Once this battle is over, we can return to the capital..."
Looking at the ever-advancing battle lines, Lin Zheng murmured something.
In recent days, he has been receiving a constant stream of reports from the capital, informing him that both of his daughters have become cultivators. Although this is good news, it has also made him uneasy.
"Report! Something terrible has happened!"
At this moment, a rider galloped up, fell off his horse, and said, "Reporting to the General, the Northern Hu army is pressing in, and the Second Prince Li Xian... has been killed in battle!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Zheng's pupils suddenly contracted!
While quelling the rebellion in the Northwest, he was constantly on guard against the Northern Hu's invasion. Therefore, the Second Prince, Li Xian, personally led 30,000 elite troops to guard against the Northern Hu.
How... could it have been broken so quickly?
"General, there's a sorcerer from the Northern Barbarians. He wields a banner of ten thousand souls, and when he unleashes it, the battlefield is filled with the wailing of ghosts and the howling of wolves. It's impossible to stop him, impossible to stop him..."
The scouts' voices trembled.
"magician……"
Lin Zheng, seemingly lost in thought, became more solemn than ever before. In an instant, this battle-hardened veteran suddenly ordered: "Withdraw the troops and return to the capital—"
"That's not the Northern Barbarians, it's the Demon Realm army! We can't stop them!"
The sound of the gong echoed throughout the chilling battlefield!
……
