Cultivating Immortality Begins with Rejuvenation.

Chapter 15 Not to Become an Immortal
Ning Sujin saw that Li Ji'an not only did not doubt her words, but asked this question with a little excitement, and she felt a sense of recognition that she had never felt before.

"I'm not sure if I can avoid disaster and seek good fortune, but when I encounter certain things and people, I inexplicably feel different emotions in my heart."

Li Ji'an had no way of verifying what Ning Sujin said, nor did he need to.

Based on his four lifetimes of experience as a human being and his understanding of Ning Sujin from five years of getting along with her, this matter is most likely true.

He wasn't sure if it was some kind of "avoiding danger and seeking good fortune" cheat, or something mysterious, but at this moment he knew that Ning Sujin was not an ordinary person.

At the same time, I also understood the whole process of Ning Sujin's character formation.

"Then...your cousin..." Li Ji'an filtered out the key information related to the fairy seedling.

Ning Sujin shook her head: "He was taken away by the Immortal Master and there has been no news since."

"Perhaps the Immortal Master has resolved the disaster for him."

Ning Sujin shook her head again: "I don't know, I hope so."

Li Ji'an pressed the issue again, "The Immortal Master has been selecting Immortal Seedlings for over a hundred years. Has any of the Immortal Seedlings that were taken away brought back any news?"

"The Immortal Master said that there is a difference between immortals and mortals. To achieve the Great Dao, one must cut off the seven emotions, the six desires, and the cause and effect of the mortal world."

"There's a difference between immortals and mortals!" Li Ji'an fell into deep thought...

After a moment, Li Ji'an came back to his senses and looked at Ning Sujin with subconscious intimacy.

If you have the ability to "seek good fortune and avoid misfortune" to assist, your own safety will be greatly increased!
In the subsequent conversation, Li Ji'an couldn't help but bring some emotional value, focusing on "understanding her" and "accompanying her".

I also understood Ning Sujin's ambition: not to become an immortal, but just to make sure that her cousin was safe!

Three days later, Chong'an Prefecture was on the official road leading to the imperial city.

In addition to the twenty mysterious masters led by the guides from the Xunxian Palace in the imperial city who came to deliver the imperial edict, there were also five hundred soldiers from the Marquis' Mansion who were close guards. The Xunxian Academy also sent ten masters who were above the Blood Exchange Realm and had practiced superior external skills to mix in the team.

The Xianci Dynasty is very large, but only the emperor can directly contact the immortals, and only that person can receive rewards from the immortals. Naturally, there will be more people who want to replace him.

The best way is to break the agreement between the emperor and the immortal and make the emperor unhappy with the immortal.

The Immortal Seedling Ceremony held every ten years, especially the Immortal Seedlings who rushed to the imperial city from all over the world, were all targets of those people in the dark.

Although there have been no cases of immortal seedlings being killed in recent years, we still have to be on guard.

This is also the reason why once the immortal seedling is confirmed, it is necessary to set off within three days to avoid any further complications.

When Li Ji'an learned about this situation, his first reaction was that Ning Yutan's disaster might happen in this disaster.

Be more cautious about this line of work.

However, he felt a little relieved when he heard Ning Sujin's assurance that the journey would be safe, and he silently practiced the blood-transforming technique along the way.

Compared with bone tempering, blood transfusion has higher requirements for internal breath and blood circulation, but requires less amount of blood, and it takes more time to transform ordinary blood.

"It's a pity that time is too tight and I don't have the chance to see my senior brother." When his energy and blood were exhausted, Li Ji'an slowly stopped practicing and couldn't help but think of the person closest to him in this world.

He had already sent a letter to his senior brother last night, explaining his situation.

When the news of becoming a reserve immortal in the Imperial City Immortal Palace gets back, not only my brother but the entire Zixia Temple will be cheering. From now on, the name Li Ji'an will be their strongest support in Shangyi County.

"Xiao Wu, this kid is thoughtful... Haha~ It's hard to change one's nature, but he has not forgotten his original intention." Seeing the purse that Xiao Wu stuffed into him, Li Ji'an smiled slightly. Yesterday, he finally fulfilled his promise and went to Xiao Wu's house. He met his sister-in-law who was praised to the sky by Xiao Wu. Well, he really worked hard.

"Brother Li, I'm coming in."

Suddenly, Ning Yutan's voice came out of nowhere.

Li Ji'an didn't even notice anything as Ning Yutan had already entered the carriage. "Yutan, Duke Ding repeatedly warned us before we set off that this trip wouldn't be peaceful. As the most crucial immortal seedling in the entire team, how could you possibly run around? Return quickly, or else it could easily cause unrest." Li Ji'an frowned and immediately spoke out to dissuade her.

Ning Sujin sensed that her trip was a bad omen, but others didn't believe it, but Li Ji'an did.

And this omen of great misfortune is likely to happen on the way.

Now that he has not yet learned external martial arts, his fighting ability is weak, so it is safest for him to stay with the Duke.

"Oh, Brother Li, it's okay. There are so many people outside protecting me, who would dare to come and die? Besides, I came here to play with you with the approval of my father and mother." Ning Yutan was not worried at all.

Don't plant the flag!
Li Ji'an couldn't help but feel even more nervous.

"Brother Li, my father has taught me the Falling Flower Sword Technique. I'm going to learn it before the Immortal Master comes to earth. Before I go to the Immortal Realm, I must give that old woman a good beating. Humph!"

Li Ji'an said this casually while thinking about how to persuade him to return to the Duke's side: "The Duke is letting you practice external skills now?"

"Yes, yes, my father said that now that ascending to the immortal realm is a foregone conclusion, I don't need to practice internal skills to strengthen my body for the time being. Anyway, I will have to practice immortal arts in the immortal realm, so it is better to practice an external skill as soon as possible and understand the method of stimulating qi and blood. Perhaps it will be beneficial for the immortal arts in the future."

"Is the 'Falling Flower Sword Technique' very powerful? The 'Floating Pingbu' passed down from the eldest lady's family is a first-class light skill, and the Su family's famous skill 'Heavy Rain Pear Blossom Needle' is the world's top martial arts. Maybe she has also learned it..." Li Ji'an suddenly had an idea and came up with a plan.

Ning Yutan became emotional upon hearing this. "Humph! She's been bullying me all these years with her sneaky skills because I haven't practiced external skills. Once I practice our family's external skills, my Qi and blood will be stimulated, and my five senses will be multiplied. I'll be able to sense her movements even with my eyes closed. Then, her skills will be useless."

"And let me tell you, our family's 'Falling Flower Sword Technique' is also a famous martial arts skill on the world's list. We will definitely beat her to a pulp and send her fleeing."

As he spoke, Ning Yutan subconsciously raised his voice, and directed it towards Ning Sujin's carriage in front.

"Are you sure?" The expected cold voice suddenly sounded.

The next moment, Ning Sujin's ghostly figure entered the carriage.

"Ah! You...can you please not be so naughty all the time?" Ning Yutan's face changed instantly, and he subconsciously hid beside Li Ji'an.

Ning Sujin rolled her eyes and sat on Li Ji'an's other side. "The Immortal Master will appear in the world within three months. Do you think you can master the Falling Flower Sword Technique and defeat me within three months?"

"I... humph, even if I can't achieve great success, I can still achieve small success. My realm is higher than yours, and my blood and energy are stronger than yours. Even if I achieve small success, it's enough to beat you. If you have the guts, don't use your body skills to fight me." Ning Yutan said stubbornly.

"Idiot!" Ning Sujin sneered.

"Listen carefully. I will teach you the Floating Ping Step right now. I mastered it in just one month. Don't accuse me of bullying you."

"..." Ning Yutan's eyes suddenly widened. She didn't expect that the old woman who was her mortal enemy would pass on the Su family's inherited martial arts skills to her.

Ning Sujin didn't give her a chance to speak: "Don't waste your words. This skill was passed down to me by my mother, not the Su family. It was also refined by my mother, not the Su family's. No one will bother you."

"Qi originates from Dantian, turns to Tanzhong, blood generates fire, and converges at Yongquan..."

Without waiting for Ning Yutan to react, he had already revealed all the body movement techniques.

Li Ji'an's eyes flashed, and he memorized it in his mind first.

The skills in this world were deduced and explored by countless martial arts masters who risked the reversal of their own qi and blood, the severing of their meridians, and even their own death by explosion. They are extremely precious.

Ordinary people cannot buy it even with gold and silver.

Especially the top-notch movement skills like "Piao Ping Bu" which ranks at the top of the world's martial arts list.

Although he is not in a hurry to practice external skills now, he will definitely need it in the future.
