Cultivating Immortality Begins with Rejuvenation.

Chapter 49 Life is not easy
Zhao Shuyao is Zhao Yunsheng's youngest daughter and the most favored.

Back then, Zhao Yunsheng was determined to bring the two together, and even wanted to arrange the marriage before his death.

Li Ji'an refused because he was determined to cultivate immortality, and agreed to take care of him in the immortal world.

When the marriage was arranged, Zhao Shuyao was there.

Li Ji'an remembered clearly that she was also very resistant at that time, not only because she was obsessed with the dispute between the dragon and the phoenix, but also because she was influenced by her grandfather Lei Laowu and was somewhat hostile to Li Ji'an.

After Lei Laowu passed away, Li Ji'an taught him external martial arts, and the situation gradually eased, but he was still not in harmony with Lei Laowu.

Finally, before ascending to the immortal world, his posture changed drastically.

Li Ji'an never thought much about this.

And now, after going through the ascension scam and the deadly battle in Huangsha, they can be considered to have shared hardships. In this foreign land, Li Ji'an regards the four of them as old friends - people from his hometown.

Ask nothing of them, think nothing of them,
As long as they are willing to call him Brother Li, he can maintain contact with them.

As long as it does not affect his path to eternal immortality, he will also provide help to the best of his ability.

He also hopes that all four of them can have a bright future.

However, he never expected that Zhao Shuyao, a heroine whose talent in the Xianci Dynasty was second only to his, would be the first person to give up.

I still remember Zhao Shuyao's resolute attitude and determination to achieve something in the cultivation world after she had a preliminary understanding of it a year and a half ago.

At that time, she was also the most excited person who persuaded Li Ji'an not to give up and to have confidence.

As a result... from this letter, Li Ji'an could feel Zhao Shuyao's despair and helplessness.

In short, she decided to lie down.

After a year and a half of hard work, there is still no hope of becoming an immortal.

The Ninth Princess, who was once high and mighty, was now asked to be a maid and take care of a little girl from a small family... This made her completely desperate!

"Heh~" Li Ji'an glanced at it and threw the letter away.

"You want to lie down, why do you want to pull me along?"

If Zhao Shuyao had expressed her love to him a year and a half ago, when Li Ji'an decided to stay in the gathering area temporarily to accumulate some experience, he would at least have been touched.

But now…I feel like a spare tire.

Without much hesitation, I wrote back.

The general meaning is: He has already started practicing Qi and is a cultivator in the early stage of Qi training, aiming to become an immortal.

Similarly, the end of the letter is encouraging and full of positive energy.

Ten days later, when the first level of Qi training was completely stable, Li Ji'an called Chen Qingling again and took him to the market.

It should be said that although Chen Qingling's attitude was not good, he never refused as long as Li Ji'an called him.

And she would never come to him on her own initiative.

It can truly be said that it comes when you call it and goes when you wave it away. It is very easy to use and very reliable.

"You still don't give up? It's been half a year, what have you done in practicing Qi? Brother, I call you brother, just go back. My brother is a righteous man, you won't suffer any harm if you stay with him!" However, this time, Xiao Qingling was a little uncooperative.

During the past six months, he had often attacked Li Ji'an, but his intention was actually very simple. He just hoped that Li Ji'an would give up as soon as possible and go back to hunting with his brother.

Because hunting is a very dangerous thing.

A few days ago, he heard that a colleague similar to his brother accidentally entered the territory of a late-stage first-order monster and was eaten by the monster.

During the year that Li Ji'an joined Chen Zhaohu's team, he did not encounter a single crisis.

This made him, who originally did not believe that Li Ji'an was a person with great fortune, recognize Li Ji'an's luck.

A while ago, after six months of closed-door cultivation, Li Ji'an suddenly asked him about his progress. He had told him the truth, thinking Li Ji'an had understood the objective situation of his inferior spiritual roots, old age, and insufficient resources, and was about to give up. But today, he actually asked him to take him to the market.

Li Ji'an said nothing, and the meager mana in his Dantian gradually surged...

"Huh?" Chen Qingling's eyes widened instantly.

"you you you……"

"If nothing unexpected happens, he should be considered a cultivator at the first level of Qi training!" Li Ji'an said with a smile.

After a long silence, Chen Qingling finally came to his senses.

"Hmph! You've only been practicing Qi for half a year. You have absolutely no potential. And you don't know how much it will cost to truly practice Qi..."

Knowing that he couldn't persuade him to quit for the time being, Chen Qingling muttered something and took Li Ji'an to the market again.

However, just as he was about to walk out of the residential area, a loud noise not far away made Chen Qingling stop.

After roughly understanding what was going on, he lit up with joy and hurriedly pulled Li Ji'an over there.

A moment later, Li Ji'an saw four monks wearing the uniforms of market managers standing in front of a small building.

In front of the four people, a slovenly old man with a bitter face bowed repeatedly, "Fellow Daoist, fellow Daoist, please do me a favor. I have lived here for fifty years. I am almost there, almost at the point of breaking through to the late stage of Qi training. I will definitely pay the full rent when I get there. Please forgive me."

"Friend Sun, it's not that we brothers don't want to make things easy for you. It's just that every family has its own rules, and every neighborhood has its own regulations. You've already been in arrears for two months, so please don't make it difficult for us."

……

Chen Qingling instantly perked up: "Look, did you see that? That old Taoist is also one of our predecessors, a cultivator at the sixth level of Qi training, who has lived in this market for fifty years, and the result... the result is what you see for yourself!"

"So, the path of cultivation requires more than just determination; you have to know yourself!"

Li Ji'an just smiled faintly at Chen Qingling's selective expression. It happened that a monk next door mentioned this old monk by chance when he came to visit him.

It is true that he has reached the sixth level of Qi training, but he is practicing wood-based skills. The wood-based magic power is strong and long-lasting, but mostly weak and not good at attacking. He cannot engage in high-income jobs such as escorting and fighting.

Also, because his spiritual awareness was not strong enough, he could not draw talismans and could not become a talisman master worshipped by various family forces.

He had no choice but to learn the art of spiritual planting, but he did not strive for progress and could barely take care of the mundane crops for the mortals in the gathering area.

In this way, although it is a bit hard, there is no risk and you can barely make a living in the market.

It's strange that the wood-based skills practiced by this old Taoist focus on rejuvenation and vitality, and may even have the effect of bringing dead trees back to life. It was fine when he was young, but when he got old, he started to be a bridegroom every night.

It is said that at least three of his fellow Taoists could not bear it and left him.

Eventually, I started going to Tianxian Tower every day.

That place is a real den of money!

After watching the old Taoist being plundered and thrown out of the market by the monks in charge of the market, Chen Qingling took Li Ji'an to the market again.

"What? You want to buy the pill formula? You also want to make pills? You want to become a pill master?" Chen Qingling was shocked again when he learned Li Ji'an's purpose.

Being an alchemist is definitely one of the best professions in the world of cultivation.

Once you become an alchemist, both your family and sect may treat you as a guest official.

Moreover, even if his alchemy skills are crude and shallow, even if he can only refine the simplest fasting pills, it is enough to support himself.

However, the higher the income, the higher the threshold.

Every year, many cultivators try their best to become alchemists, but in the end, only one in a million can be chosen!

"With your talent, you still want to become an alchemist?"
