Cultivating Immortality Begins with Rejuvenation.

Chapter 33: The Immortal Master
Five years ago, Zhao Yunsheng passed away at the age of 65. Now the new emperor is his eldest son.

This was the first time that the new emperor participated in the Immortal Ceremony. In addition, he was particularly nervous because of the secret that his grandfather was suspected to have been killed by the Immortal Master. He subconsciously hid half a body length behind Li Ji'an.

Zhao Shuyao glared at her elder brother several times but was ignored.

Looking at Li Ji'an who was in the front, Zhao Shuyao also had a complicated look in her eyes.

At the last Immortal Ceremony, she was four months away from turning seventeen. She had made some success in her blood transfusion, and lived up to the title of a genius. Although she did not succeed in becoming an immortal seedling, she was quite proud of herself. At least she was on par with the disciple who was at the top of the Grandmaster List, and even won by a narrow margin because she was seven months younger.

However, after that Immortal Ceremony, Li Ji'an let her see what a true genius was!
It was not until her father Zhao Yunsheng passed away five years ago that she completely gave up.

Before his death, Zhao Yunsheng swore that he would follow Li Changan's lead in the future, especially after going to the fairyland, he would act according to Li Changan's requirements.

Similarly, when Zhao Yunsheng passed away five years ago, Li Ji'an promised Zhao Yunsheng that he would take care of him to the best of his ability, but he firmly rejected his good intention of arranging a marriage.

In the following five years, Li Ji'an asked Zhao Shuyao to start practicing external martial arts to enhance her fighting and attacking capabilities.

And he taught his own original skills.

This allowed Zhao Shuyao, who had almost given up on martial arts after making some progress in refining her internal organs and thinking that she was good enough to become an immortal seedling and ascend to the immortal world, and practice immortal arts in the future, to finally take another step forward. Now she is almost entering the ranks of the great masters of Qi and blood.

As a result, Zhao Shuyao, who had always had a hostile mentality towards Li Ji'an, became very complicated inside.

Not only the Li Changan in front of her, but also the famous Li Ji'an whom she had never met and who made her competitive grandfather die with regrets, the image of him in her mind gradually changed.

Because just before entering the Immortal Palace and waiting for the Immortal Master to come, Li Changan took out the martial arts that seemed to her to be almost magical, and said that he had been instructed by Li Ji'an to hand it over to the Sutra Library for safekeeping for martial artists all over the world to practice.

May the martial arts in this world prosper, and may everyone in this world be like a dragon!

Such a broad mind and ambition are enough to make everyone in the world worship him.

"Here it comes!" Suddenly, Li Ji'an's ears moved slightly, and he keenly caught a sound of breaking through the air.

The other nine immortals and the emperor immediately held their breath and lowered their heads even more.

Sure enough, the next moment, a figure fell from above the fairy palace.

"Stand up and answer!"

Li Ji'an raised his head and saw a strange face. Compared with the immortal master he met sixty years ago, the face was much younger and had a hint of sharpness and arrogance.

"A new person has been appointed in fifty years?"

Combined with the description of the previous Immortal Master Zhao Yunsheng gave ten years ago, he was obviously much older than the one he saw sixty years ago.

"It seems that the cultivation level of this guiding monk is not particularly high..." Li Ji'an made a preliminary judgment in his mind.

The new emperor stepped forward respectfully to answer, not daring to raise his head, which made the young immortal master's face look even more contemptuous.

Then, his eyes narrowed slightly and scanned the ten immortal seedlings present one by one.

"Huh? There are talents with such strong energy and blood in this class?" Suddenly, he stared at Li Ji'an and Zhao Shuyao, with a look of surprise on his face.

The new emperor heard the joy in his words and breathed a sigh of relief. He bravely raised his head, ready to take credit: "Master, please bless me. This time, thanks to..."

However, before he could finish his words, the Immortal Master's expression suddenly changed. He stared fiercely at the new emperor and said gloomily, "Hmph! I thought those seedlings before were your limit... I never thought that you would fool me all these years."

"Ah? No, no, Immortal Master Rong Bing..." The new emperor broke out in a cold sweat.

"Stop talking nonsense. From now on, the standards for seedlings will be based on these two people. If you fail to meet the standards... humph, you will bear the consequences yourself!" The young immortal master did not give the new emperor a chance to explain.

Li Ji'an frowned secretly.

I have great distrust towards the immortal master who is coming to guide me this time.

The immortal master I met sixty years ago, regardless of other things, just his words and actions had a bit of immortal air.

The man before him resembled a young man from an aristocratic family, untouched by the worldly trials and tribulations, uninformed and unworldly. "Master, you misunderstood me. I am wronged. How dare I deceive you..." The new emperor was on the verge of collapse. Since Prince Yun ascended the throne, he had abolished the previous emperor's policy of mobilizing the entire nation to cultivate immortal seedlings, seeking to alleviate the suffering of the people. He had replaced the previous widespread approach with a more targeted one.

This policy has effectively reduced the burden on the people.

But it brings great pressure and risks to the selection of fairy seedlings.

It was not easy for him to gather all the immortal seedlings that met the standard of perfect blood exchange, so how could he improve further, and the standard should be based on a peerless monster like Li Ji'an.

In the entire Xianci Dynasty of a hundred years, there has only been one monster like Li Ji'an!

"You dare to talk back? You deserve a beating!" The young immortal master felt that his dignity was offended and snorted coldly. Without seeing him make any movement, Li Ji'an felt as if an invisible slap had instantly slapped him.

"Pa~" The new emperor was slapped away in an instant, fell to the side, and his cheeks swelled up.

"Brother!" Zhao Shuyao behind Li Ji'an couldn't help but cry out in grief and was about to go and check.

Li Ji'an decisively grabbed it with one hand like a pair of pliers.

"Hmph! If you do it again, I will make sure your soul is scattered and you won't be able to enter the reincarnation cycle." The young immortal master said coldly.

The new emperor covered his swollen cheek, dared not say anything more, and nodded frequently.

"You were born in a land abandoned by heaven, but you were fortunate enough to enter the fairyland. You should remember this kindness." The young fairy master said to the ten fairy seedlings.

"We will never forget the kindness of the Immortal Master in guiding us." The ten people answered in unison.

The young immortal master nodded and said, "Don't resist. Follow me and ascend to the immortal realm!"

"Yes!"

Immediately afterwards, Li Ji'an felt a lifting force under his feet, slowly carrying him high into the air.

"It's completely different from the power of Qi and blood. It's colorless, invisible, and softer and more delicate than the power of Qi and blood... Is this magic power?"

As everyone was lifted higher and higher, the speed slowed down significantly.

Li Ji'an even felt that the invisible force under his feet was about to be exhausted, and if he exerted even a little force, it might dissipate.

Until they reached a height of about 100 meters, everyone was hovering in the air.

The young immortal master patted a small cloth bag on his waist with one hand, and the bag flashed with light.

A small boat with a flowing light suddenly appeared and sailed against the wind.

In an instant, it turned into a ten-zhang giant boat.

"Immortal treasure!"

"It's truly a divine method."

"Will we also learn these immortal techniques soon?"

……

The sudden appearance of the huge boat out of nowhere made the immortal seedlings unable to contain their excitement and they exclaimed in surprise.

Before this, whether they saw the immortal master slap the emperor without moving, or took them to fly high in the sky, they were not particularly surprised. After all, the master of qi and blood can also release qi and blood.

But once this flying boat appeared, it completely exceeded the understanding of martial arts.

When the young immortal master saw the reactions of several people, a faint smile flashed across his face, and he seemed to be very pleased.

Then their attitudes became more friendly: "Don't make a fuss, it's just a trivial trick. Hurry and board the flying boat and head to the fairyland!"
