Cultivating Immortality Begins with Rejuvenation.

Chapter 22 Immortal comes to the dust
As for the specific circumstances of that catastrophe, there are many different opinions.

Some people say that when an immortal gets angry, blood will flow and float away.

With just a wave of his hand, 70% of the martial arts masters in the world were gone!
Some people also said that several great masters launched a sneak attack and caught the Immortal Master off guard, and he was also injured. But in the end, the Immortal Master took out a treasure that looked like yellow paper and killed many martial arts masters.

Some also say that if it weren't for the royal guards, the immortal master might have died.

……

Even the accounts given by Chen Xiaosheng and Su Jishi along the way were very different, so Li Ji'an was unable to confirm the truth.

However, the final result was very consistent: nearly half of the warriors in the world were gone.

Including the master, family, relatives and friends... nine clans were killed, ten clans were exterminated, and the methods were even more cruel. Except for the main culprit who was cast into a sculpture by molten iron and immortalized at the feet of the immortal master to apologize, the rest were subjected to slow slicing, dismemberment, boiling, and burning... everything was done.

From then on, everyone in the world accepted that the only way to enter the fairyland was to become a fairy seedling.

While Li Ji'an was paying respect to the immortal master, he also mourned in his heart for the many martial arts predecessors.

He should be grateful to them. If they hadn't explored the way, Li Ji'an would have spent several more lifetimes exploring and looking for other possible paths.

And every extra lifetime he spends carries considerable risk for him.

After completing the registration, Li Ji'an had no intention of leaving the Immortal Palace to explore the imperial city, and went straight back to his residence.

Chong'an Prefecture ranked third, but was almost at the bottom in the Immortal Palace.

In addition, this place gathers the best talents in the world. In addition to the reserve immortal seedlings like him who came during the Immortal Ceremony, there are also many seedlings who have been cultivated since childhood. The martial arts geniuses gathered from all over the place are like a swarm of carp crossing the river, and their number is large. Land in the imperial city is very expensive, so the side houses allocated to him are all four people living in a small courtyard, and the courtyard is smaller than the single courtyard when he was in Chong'an Prefecture.

The room assigned to him was located in the corner of the Fairy Palace accommodation area. The other three were not this year's reserve fairies. Fortunately, the four rooms in the courtyard were independent of each other, and they only shared one courtyard, so they would not disturb each other too much.

After solving the problem of survival, he continued to practice without distraction.

I have to say that the Fairy Palace is really generous in its supply of resources. The flesh and blood of precious beasts that Chong'an Prefecture can only obtain through connections are supplied in almost unlimited quantities.

Even some elixirs and miraculous medicines that are rarely seen in Chong'an Prefecture are given as incentives and rewards.

Among them, he even saw the "Marrow Cleansing Pill" that he had longed for in his next life.

This doubled Li Ji'an's motivation.

Two months later, all the immortal seedlings gathered together and met the Ning Yutan sisters again.

And he learned a big news - two immortal seedlings in this world died, one was the prodigy of the grand master family Wang family and the talented son of the prefect of Qiongzhou Prefecture.

The Wang family was intercepted by two unknown grandmasters, the ancestor of the Wang family was restrained, and the immortal seedling was attacked and killed.

As for the prefect of Qiongzhou Prefecture and his entourage, including the Jieying Immortal Palace and the accompanying prepared immortal seedlings, no one survived!

The emperor was furious and issued three edicts to the world, denouncing the thieves on behalf of the immortal and vowing to capture the thief leader and execute him. He also ordered the Dali Temple to join forces with the Ministry of Justice, the Censorate and the Shadow Guard to lead the three armies, and to catch the thieves even if they had to dig three feet into the ground.

This news made Li Ji'an feel scared. If the other party had not underestimated the situation, Duke Dingguo and his party would probably be in great danger.

I made up my mind to start my next life from the Imperial City or even directly from the Immortal Palace.

In addition to worrying about being ambushed and killed halfway through in the next life after finally becoming an immortal, there was also another piece of news this time - Prince Yun and his entourage did not encounter any ambush!

Once this conspiracy is put forward, no matter what Prince Yun's original intention is, Prince Yun, who has the greatest power among the princes, and the current emperor will definitely be hostile to each other, and the final result will be either you die or I die.

The world was in turmoil, and the only ones who might remain unaffected were the immortals whom both sides sought to appease, and the Immortal Seeking Palace built for them. "Will class struggle ultimately devolve into internal strife?" Li Ji'an shook his head slightly, showing little interest in the realities of the mortal world.

As one of the remaining eight immortal seedlings who are about to meet the Immortal Master and follow him to the Immortal Realm, Ning Yutan has an extremely high status in the Immortal Palace.

Even the chief steward of Xunxian Palace, the famous Nine Thousand Years Old Eunuch Mo who ranked third on the Grandmaster List, was respectful to Ning Yutan.

Moreover, because of her stunning appearance, lively and generous personality, and high emotional intelligence, she is quite popular among the other five male immortals.

It was even rumored that the seventeen-year-old genius who was the most talented in this session had declared that he would become a Taoist couple with Ning Yutan after reaching the fairyland.

"Brother Li, they are so annoying. I just want to stay with you quietly for a while and don't want to be disturbed by anyone." Ning Yutan complained first, then glanced at Ning Sujin in the room and said in a slightly coquettish tone.

"Absolutely not!" Li Ji'an refused immediately.

The three of them are from the same hometown of Chong'an Prefecture, so there is nothing wrong with them getting together.

If they were the only two in the same room, it would undoubtedly cause unnecessary trouble.

Especially for the young prodigy, who has achieved success at a young age and is frivolous, his mind is not mature enough. If he is instigated by someone with ulterior motives and targeted by taking advantage of his upcoming reputation, status and privileges, it would not be worth it.

At this moment, two of the ten immortal seedlings agreed upon by the immortals are missing, so naturally two more need to be added from the remaining reserve immortal seedlings.

Looking around the world, no one dares to take action against the prospective immortal seedlings who have already moved into the Immortal Palace, except for the eight immortal seedlings.

Therefore, at this moment, these reserve immortal seedlings are almost all secretly working hard and competing with each other. There must be some who hope that he and one other person will be the only reserve immortal seedlings left, so we have to be on guard.

"Why?" Ning Yutan saw that Ning Sujin had not yet refuted, but Li Ji'an opposed it so firmly. Her eyes turned red for a moment and she looked quite aggrieved.

"You idiot, do you want to kill Ji An?" Ning Sujin cursed before Li Ji An could speak.

Ning Yutan's eyes rolled, and he suddenly realized what was going on. He shrugged and said aggrievedly, "Brother Li, I'm sorry. I was too reluctant to spend time alone with you. I was inconsiderate."

It is indeed easy to deal with smart people, and it also saves Li Ji'an from making excuses.

"Brother Li, don't worry. I will wait for you when I go to the fairyland. I believe that we will be reunited in ten years." Then Ning Yutan didn't care about Ning Sujin anymore, or maybe he was just acting for Ning Sujin and was being sentimental.

On the contrary, Ning Sujin remained silent, saying nothing and not disturbing anyone.

It wasn't until Ning Yutan mentioned that she had asked her father to provide substantial financial support to Li Ji'an that Ning Sujin finally couldn't help but say, "Fool! The Duke's Mansion is in jeopardy right now, and its future is uncertain. How could they have the energy to support us?"

"You are talking nonsense. I am going to the fairyland soon. His Majesty values my father so much. The Duke's Mansion will surely prosper!" Ning Yutan disagreed with what Ning Sujin said.

"Hmph! You short-sighted fool. His Majesty appointed your father as the Imperial Commissioner to investigate Prince Yun's Mansion. Do you think His Majesty simply doesn't trust the Mansion?"

"Don't forget, among the four foreign immortal seedlings this time, only Prince Yun's Mansion and you are safe and sound." Ning Sujin sneered.

"This... you mean that His Majesty also suspects our Duke's Mansion... No, we also encountered an assassination, which is different from Prince Yun's Mansion." Ning Yutan was relatively naive on this point.

Ning Sujin looked at Ning Yutan as if he were mentally retarded: "Some things don't require us to look at the process, we only need to look at the results!"

"you……"

"Boom! Boom! Boom..." Ning Yutan was just about to retort when suddenly a loud bell rang from outside, deafening!
"Nine rings of the golden bell?"

"The Immortal has arrived!"
