Cultivating Immortality Begins with Rejuvenation.

Chapter 44 Parting ways
The four people who were originally respected by everyone in the Xianci Dynasty and were revered as geniuses finally bowed their heads in front of Qiuxian.

Even though they looked down upon the behavior just a month ago, they have now compromised and even want to actively fight for it.

Li Ji'an sincerely wishes this to you!

“May we all have a bright future!”

However, I still declined their invitation.

"Brother Li, you are confused. People like me who are at the peak of martial arts only have a lifespan of a hundred years. But once you get started with Qi training, you are guaranteed to live to a hundred years at least. If you advance to the middle stage, you can live for two centuries. In the late stage of Qi training, you can even live for a hundred and fifty years. If you are lucky enough to build a foundation... three hundred years. Three hundred years, just thinking about it makes me excited." Zhang Tiezhu was very excited.

Zhu Linxian looked at Li Ji'an, hesitant to speak, and ultimately did not open her mouth.

Dong Jiangling's eyes shifted as he sighed softly, "Ah, I understand Brother Li's thoughts. Now that we understand clearly, cultivating immortality is incredibly difficult! I don't know if I'll regret my decision today. The future is bleak, and hope is slim."

Zhao Shuyao was incredulous: "Brother Li, we have been cultivating in the Xianci Dynasty for decades, and it is not just based on talent. For you to become a genius who dominates an era, your character, perseverance, hard work, and understanding must all be first-class.

If I can do martial arts, I may be able to cultivate immortality!

Now, you don't even try.

You and I are the oldest, so why should we waste time?
If you don’t start now, it will be too late!”

Li Ji'an nodded.

Yes, if he hadn't been able to "rejuvenate", how could he have waited so calmly, leisurely and steadily.

But with the power of rejuvenation, he has endless time.

Having already reached the world of cultivation and seen the hope of attaining enlightenment and ascending to heaven, I cannot afford to take any more risks.

During this month, they had a more and more detailed understanding of the cultivation world. In addition to confirming what Chen Zhaohu said, they also understood the ever-changing situation and unpredictable fate in the cultivation world.

I also know that the competition is fierce.

They have missed the best age and have low spiritual roots. If they want to keep up with others, it is almost hopeless unless they take risks and try their best.

However, Li Ji'an did not expect to make a comeback in this life.

I just want to integrate into this world, do my best to ensure my safety in the next life, and accumulate a little resources, which will be a success.

After all, I probably only have about thirty years left in this world.

Without much explanation, Li Ji'an insisted on staying here for the time being and waiting for the right time to make plans.

In the end, the five of them had a farewell dinner at Baixianglou, where they had held a welcome banquet when they first arrived in this world. Li Ji'an also divided the remaining spiritual sand equally as their travel expenses.

"Brother Li, take care. If I am lucky enough to embark on spiritual practice, I will definitely come back to find you. The same goes for you. Once you settle down, write to Brother Li. Brother Li will then tell us our addresses. We are in a foreign land, so we should help each other." Zhang Tiezhu clasped his fists towards everyone and strode towards the pioneering family in the south.

"Take care! See you in ten years." Zhao Shuyao and the other two were preparing to go to the Lianhefang Market a hundred miles away to find their immortal destiny.

They had said everything they needed to say, and they stopped trying to persuade Li Ji'an. They just said take care to each other.

We agreed that no matter what, we would get together again in ten years.

"Ten years!" Li Ji'an smiled casually as he watched his old friend go away.

"Let's go. Perhaps we'll see each other again in less than ten years." Chen Zhaohu patted Li Ji'an on the shoulder. "Brother Chen, what do you think will happen to them in ten years?" Li Ji'an asked with a smile.

Chen Zhaohu laughed heartily. "I'm not a divine being who can foresee the future. How can I know what will happen ten years from now? You guys must be blessed with great fortune. Maybe you'll encounter some great opportunity and soar to great heights."

"Foreseeing the future? Favored by God?" Li Ji'an heard it for the first time.

"Oh, those favored by the gods, as the name suggests, are people who are favored by the gods. They are born in harmony with the Tao and are born with some mysterious abilities. There was once a person favored by the gods who could foresee the future a hundred years later." Chen Zhaohu said casually.

Li Ji'an stopped in his tracks instantly, and Ning Sujin's figure appeared involuntarily in his mind.

He felt that Ning Sujin's ability to avoid danger and seek good fortune seemed to fit the description of a person favored by God as described by Chen Zhaohu.

"Born to be in harmony with the Great Dao...isn't that...the chosen one?"

Seeing Li Ji'an's surprise, Chen Zhaohu shook his head and laughed, "That's not the case. I heard from those bigwigs that those favored by the gods are simply people who have integrated fragments of the great Dao laws and have corresponding abilities. However, some laws are beneficial to cultivation, while others are even harmful. Moreover, it seems that fragments of the Heavenly Dao laws do not change anything except the corresponding abilities. Not only people, but some objects can also be possessed by the Heavenly Dao laws and have mysterious abilities."

"Fragments of the laws of the universe..." Li Ji'an looked even more confused.

This doesn't sound like something that someone of Chen Zhaohu's level should know.

"Yes, it is a fragment of the Great Dao Law. It is said that our current Heavenly Dao is incomplete because many laws have collapsed."

"Is the way of heaven in this world incomplete?"

"If it weren't incomplete, we would probably all have a chance to achieve enlightenment and ascend!" Chen Zhaohu suddenly became excited when he said this.

"Brother Li, you don't know that a great man once discovered ancient relics revealed from the earth's veins. It records that cultivation at that time was not all about absorbing spiritual energy and refining magic power like we do now. The most advanced method of cultivation was to directly sense the way of heaven and comprehend the laws. Some people sat for a hundred years and realized the way in one night, and there were also natural born Tao children who entered the Tao at birth.

Moreover, even if one chooses to cultivate by refining spiritual energy, it is common to build a foundation in a hundred days.

That era... was truly a golden age for cultivation!"

"So what happened?" Li Ji'an looked serious.

"Who knows? I'm afraid we'll have to wait until those big shots find clues in the ancient ruins one day to find out. Forget it, these things are too far away from us. Just listen to them. Come on, I'll teach you the body-building exercises of this world first." Chen Zhaohu sighed, and his talkativeness decreased greatly.

"Okay!" Compared to the general trend of this world, or even the history of the cultivation world, Li Ji'an has plenty of time to explore, and at this moment, he cares more about the body-building exercises that Chen Zhaohu wants to teach him.

Over the past month, he has understood that the so-called martial arts skills taught in the Xianci Dynasty are nothing more than the basic body-building skills "Dragon Elephant Body-Building Skills" that are common in this world.

Moreover, it is incomplete, being only the first half of the first-level body-refining technique. Not only does it lack attacking techniques, it can only reach the initial stage of the first-level body-refining technique.

In addition, the martial art that originally made him most proud, which was created by relying on the understanding accumulated over four generations and the hard work of countless ancestors of the Xianci Dynasty to stimulate qi and blood, was actually just an auxiliary body-building exercise that had been popularized in this world for a long time.

That night, Li Ji'an exchanged the body-building technique "Hundred Tempering Golden Body Art" that Chen Zhaohu had accidentally obtained in exchange for joining Chen Zhaohu's team and serving as a mascot for a period of one year.

Chen Zhaohu declared that this technique could be cultivated to at least the second level!
A second-level physical cultivator can break the protective shield of a foundation-building cultivator at close range and should not be underestimated.

"Brother, although the possibility of us becoming a second-level physical cultivator is very small under the conditions here, even if I am a mid-level first-level physical cultivator now, it is enough for me to live safely here.

Don't be discouraged, train your body well and go hunting. I will help you find a Taoist partner with better spiritual roots. Maybe you can give birth to a child with good spiritual roots. Then, your dream of becoming an immortal will be fulfilled."
