I attained immortality in the real world.

Chapter 114 The Life of a Virgin
An old friend?

Chen Jing was taken aback upon hearing this!
His brain quickly processed the information and found that, apart from Xu Zui, who had introduced himself, no one else he knew overlapped with anyone Yao Zhi knew. He couldn't help but ask curiously, "Who is it?"

Yao Zhi paused and said, "I just found out that we are actually related, so it's no coincidence that we met in the Boundless Realm."

Chen Jing remained silent, waiting for what would happen next, taking the initiative in the conversation out of curiosity—a style unlike Yao Zhi's usual way of talking to him.

Seeing that Chen Jing didn't press the matter, Yao Zhi reluctantly continued, "My great-grandmother's name was Yao Zhe, but that was a name she changed later. Her original name shouldn't have been that. Among the people I know with the surname Chen, there's one named Chen Feng?"

Second great-uncle?
Riding the wind to return, a banished immortal from the Jade Pool, is that just a nickname that was changed to a real name?
Chen Jing recalled the scene of his first meeting with Yao Zhi. She had said that she did not have the aptitude for cultivating immortality and that obtaining the Wuxiang Spirit Realm node was a legacy from her ancestors. She wanted to learn a skill that would allow her to make a living.

He spoke up, "You want to see my old friend, the cultivator who gave you the spiritual realm node?"

Yao Zhi was surprised that Chen Jing could guess it, and nodded, saying, "Yes! My cousin Yao Jing inherited all of our great-grandmother's estate and wants to meet you at Baiyunjian."

Chen Jing nodded: "No problem, I would also like to see this old friend."

"........."

The primordial realm, amidst the white clouds.

Chen Jing logged into the Yuan Realm and was teleported to the Floating City, arriving at the Tea House in the White Clouds at the Edge.

A man with long hair tied in a topknot, who looked a few years younger than Yao Zhi, was brewing a cup of virtual tea.

The technique is fluid and graceful, and the tea mist creates a scene reminiscent of a clear sky after a snowfall, which is extremely artistic.

Seeing Chen Jing being led to the room by the servants, he immediately dispersed the tea steam that had gathered on the table. As if waiting for a guest to pass the time, he casually picked up a child's toy to play with, and quickly threw the toy away after being caught.

Yao Jing handed a cup of tea she had just brewed to the other side of the table: "I am Yao Jing, please, fellow Daoist."

Chen Jing casually glanced at Yao Jing's face, but couldn't glean much information. A pure analysis based on physiognomy would reveal numerous contradictions. He returned the greeting, saying, "I am Chen Jing, greetings, fellow Daoist."

After a moment of silence, neither of them were good at socializing, and both were in excellent spirits, so they didn't seem to feel awkward about the silence.

Yao Jing spoke first: "Are you asking? Or should I speak first?"

Chen Jing thought for a moment and said, "Let me ask first! Even if the talks break down, at least I can gain something. I want to know information about my second great-uncle Chen Feng."

Yao Jing hesitated for a moment before replying, "I don't know much either. It seems that my great-grandmother was unwilling to talk about the past when she was alive."

"It's probably a group of like-minded friends, four or five people. Besides your second great-uncle Chen Feng, my great-grandmother Yao Zhe, there's another person named Yu Hua, another person named Chang Sheng, and maybe a fifth person whose name we don't know, or maybe they don't exist?"

Chen Jing continued, "What do you want with me?"

Yao Jing replied again, "I'd like to borrow your physiognomy skills to help me find someone."

Chen Jing frowned and asked in confusion, "You gave me the Yaozhi Boundless Realm Node, don't you know physiognomy?"

Yao Jing nodded: "Indeed, no. My great-grandmother didn't practice physiognomy, so if I entered the Realm of No Form, I would at most obtain the basic cultivation method of sexual cultivation and a side skill. There is no possibility of obtaining supernatural powers. The wasted time is not proportional to the reward."

Chen Jing quickly pressed, "Where do you get these supernatural powers?"

Yao Jing tapped her fingers on the teacup, paused, and said, "This question is a bit beyond our relationship, but I can still answer it."

“Every supernatural power originates from an immortal. It’s not that every time someone obtains a supernatural power, an immortal must be sacrificed, but even if half or a third of an immortal is sacrificed.”

"The methods to become an immortal were gradually lost after the Ming Dynasty! Therefore, all supernatural powers came from ancient immortals."

“There are very few exceptions. Neither your second great-uncle Chen Feng nor my great-grandmother Yao Zhe became immortals. Why were they able to grant you and me supernatural powers like immortals? That remains a mystery!” “…………”

The characters for "immortal" and "Buddha" both have the radical for "person" in them.

It's easy to imagine that they are not as lofty and noble as people imagine.

Lao Tzu was merely a librarian, Buddha was defeated by a bowl of poisonous mushroom soup, and Confucius passed away at just over seventy years old.

A single decree from an mortal emperor can destroy mountains, ruin temples, and annihilate the sacred sites of immortals. When a nation is destroyed, no immortal can use their great magic to save it from collapse. Even when evildoers commit heinous acts, immortals find it difficult to directly kill them.

The power to interfere with the present world is like trash in the eyes of ancient immortals. However, immortals are not as useless as some people imagine; it's just that their power is not on the material level.

Immortals have attained relative longevity and can also bestow blessings upon people.

Due to limited resources and low learning efficiency in ancient times, people couldn't develop as many advanced skills as they do today.

An already near-perfect, outstanding mortal, if blessed by an immortal, possesses the potential to become the best in the world.

Even a simple improvement in personal charm or wisdom can still stir up trouble, bring fame and fortune, and even bring down a dynasty or trigger a world war!

"The supernatural power comes from immortals..."

Chen Jing thought of the two supernatural powers he possessed: Imitation and Cicada's Awakening.

After bestowing upon him the power of mimicry, Li Banxian disappeared. The Realm of No Form completely erased his traces. Although it is unknown how he circumvented the restrictions of becoming an immortal, this supernatural power was his final legacy.

And wouldn't the Cicada Awakening Divine Power have consumed one or even half of Xuanzang?
Chen Jing's brain processed the information quickly, and after a pause, he asked, "Who do you want to find?"

【drop! 】

Yao Jing pointed lightly with her finger.

The projector shows photos of more than a dozen people at a time.

There were men and women, the youngest being in their twenties and the oldest being over seventy.

He said, "I need you to help me find the person among these people who is destined to be a child prodigy."

A child boy? None of the people in this group could be associated with the word 'child boy'.

Chen Jing paused for a moment and then said, "You mean a golden couple who are prone to early death, have beautiful appearances, but no marriage prospects?"

"At this age of twenty-something, being abstaining from women is barely enough to be considered a virgin, but this old rascal seems to have a house full of children and grandchildren, doesn't he?"

Yao Jing sighed helplessly: "With improved medical conditions, it's actually quite difficult for a child with a 'childlike destiny' to die young! In a society with highly developed communication, even someone with a withdrawn or eccentric personality still has the opportunity to find a compatible partner."

"It's not as easy to find a child with a 'child spirit' destiny as it was in ancient times, otherwise why would they be begging you for help?"

Chen Jing nodded in agreement and continued, "If it's convenient for you, brother, could you please tell me why I'm looking for someone with a 'child spirit' destiny?"

Yao Jing didn't hide anything and said, "Legend has it that people with the fate of a child are reincarnations of children who served immortals. Although this legend is not true, the fate of a child is indeed related to immortals. Therefore, we can use people with the fate of a child to find the heaven where immortals reside."

"Oh my god!" Chen Jing thought of something and asked, "Is it related to the Spirit Realm?"
