Cultivating Immortality Begins with Rejuvenation.

Chapter 85 Return to Childhood Again
With a loud bang, the ground in front suddenly collapsed. Before the dust and smoke cleared, Chishi Sanren and Chen Qingling had already rushed in.

Li Ji'an immediately stopped supplying qi and blood, and the small teleportation talisman in his hand was ready to be activated at any time.

At the same time, he sent a message to Gua Gua, asking it to move closer in that direction.

"Boom~" Soon the sound of magic power vibration was heard, causing a vibration in the place where Gua Gua escaped into the ground.

The power of foundation building is extraordinary!
Li Ji'an felt that his full-strength attack was not even a fraction of the attack by Chishi Sanren.

"Boom~" However, not long after, another shockwave came, even more powerful than the previous one.

Before Li Ji'an could react, the three figures enveloped by magic power flew out backwards.

"The tomb of the True Lord..." The figure fell to the ground, and Chishi Sanren turned over and stood up, looking at the place that had returned to calm, muttering to himself.

Then he looked at Chen Qingling and Jinmaoshu beside him without any emotion.

The skull of the golden-haired rat was sunken and its limbs were limp. It was beyond recovery.

Chen Qingling was breathing weakly, with a small amount of blood coming out of his mouth and nose. He was shocked unconscious, but it was not a serious problem.

Only then did he spread out his palm and look at the seemingly ordinary jade talisman of martial arts in his hand.

As soon as his spiritual consciousness made contact, the dim runes on the jade talisman suddenly burst into a multicolored divine light. Then a green light slowly emerged, revealing an illusory figure: "I am the True Lord Qianyuan. I have obtained the supreme immortal classics by chance. Unfortunately, it is too late, and I have no descendants. I can only be buried here. If someone is destined to obtain it, it may be passed down to future generations."

It seemed like just an obsession, and it dissipated with the wind before he finished speaking.

Only Chishi Sanren was left staring at the jade talisman in a daze.

"Xuanyuan Chaos Sutra!" After a moment, his consciousness was withdrawn from the jade talisman. Chishi Sanren muttered to himself: "It's too late for you, how can I not be late? You have no disciples of the younger generation, I..."

Having said that, he glanced at Chen Qingling and then shook his head again: "Isn't it true?"

"What good does this do me?"

When Chishi Sanren was feeling a little down, Li Ji'an was concentrating on staring at the jade talisman of martial arts in his hand.

The skills in this realm, in addition to the efficiency and quality of condensing mana, are more about how far you can go.

The Yan family's "Flame Dragon Art" is a technique that can be cultivated to the stage of Jindan, so it is ranked as a top-grade technique. The Biyun Sect's sacred technique can only be cultivated to the stage of Yuanying. This technique is called the Supreme Immortal Classic by the Yuanying True Lord... Its value can be seen from this.

But in the end, Li Ji'an was still a little disappointed. Although Chishi Sanren said that it was useless, he never threw it away. Instead, he put it away while complaining about the hot potato.

Li Ji'an understood his complaint about the hot potato. Such a technique was really hard to handle and it was almost impossible to liquidate it. He would not dare to sell it if he could afford the price. The buyer would not allow the technique, which could establish a new sect, to be leaked.

Even if this technique is spread out by any means, and he does not have the corresponding deterrent power, he may face the disaster of extinction.

As for throwing it away, no one has the courage to do so.

The final result may be that he will be buried with the dead like that of the True Lord Qianyuan.

"Phew~ Don't worry. At worst, I'll come get it from you after you pass away." After comforting himself, Li Ji calmed down.

This opportunity really made him excited.

However, compared to his rejuvenation, it is not unbearable.

What's more, there will still be a chance after Chishi Sanren passes away.

At most, I just need to pay more attention to the whereabouts of Chishi Sanren in my next life.

Not long after, Chishi Sanren buried the Golden-Haired Rat on the spot, grabbed the unconscious Chen Qingling, and rode away on the Divine Rainbow.

"It's so pitiful that he died like this. Remember, what looks good may not be really good, and you may have to pay for it with your life." Li Ji'an sighed when he noticed that Gua Gua's eyes fell on Jinmaoshu's grave.

Guagua nodded frantically. If it had to stay where it was, it would definitely run to rub its head against Li Ji'an.

"Remember the old Taoist's scent." Li Ji'an ordered again.

"Quack~"Quack's attitude became more positive.

Three days later, there were no more unusual changes in the place, and Li Ji'an continued to feed and tame the creature with qi and blood.

As for the tomb not far away, Li Ji'an hadn't even explored it. If it weren't for the jade talisman he wanted to pass down, the Taoist priest Chishi wouldn't have been able to open it, much less leave alive.

At this moment, whether it sank into the earth veins or was completely sealed, it had nothing to do with him now.
-
Two more years passed like this.

"It's done!" That day, as the piglet-like queen ant suddenly sucked a mouthful of Li Ji'an's blood and energy, Li Ji'an's soul felt a sense of affinity and submission.

After confirming it several times, Li Ji'an was happy but also a little sad.

If he had to wait a few more years, he really couldn't afford it.

Because since the third year of feeding her qi and blood, he had a vague feeling in his heart that the time when his qi and blood would decline was getting earlier and earlier as his qi and blood were consumed.

And now, I can clearly feel that in a year at most, my energy and blood will begin to decline, my vitality will fade, and I will return to the old age.

This was not only because of feeding the queen ant's blood and qi, but also because the spiritual energy here had been too mixed to be absorbed over the past eight years, and he did not have that many qi-replenishing pills, so his magic power in the middle stage of qi training had not improved but regressed.

Under these dual effects, he estimated that his aging period in this life would be advanced by nearly ten years.

"Guagua, come here." He only had one year left before he would regain his youth. He could not delay any longer and immediately called Guagua over.

"Quack~" The quack appeared silently, and it was almost difficult for him to sense it now.

Because in the past eight years, perhaps because it devoured nearly 100,000 soul-hosting ants, after being promoted to a first-stage late-stage demon beast three years ago, it seemed to have the ability to block the detection of the soul.

Even when it was right behind Li Ji'an, Li Ji'an's spiritual consciousness could not sense it.

Li Ji'an held the beast-controlling card in one hand and pressed the other hand on the queen ant's forehead. With a concentrated spiritual consciousness, his soul passed into the queen ant's sea of consciousness.

The difference from eight years ago was that this moment the spirit and soul entered the Queen Ant's sea of consciousness without any hindrance and was not swallowed by it.

Eight years ago, if his soul escaped, he would be devoured by the queen ant.

In the following six months, he followed the predetermined plan, trying again and again, and finally stored a wisp of soul into the queen ant's sea of consciousness through the imprint of the beast-controlling card.

This wisp of soul is completely separated from his main soul, and he cannot control it. It only carries the mark of the Beast Taming Card. Its only function is to ensure that the contract of the Beast Taming Card continues to exist after his main soul is rejuvenated and purified.

Otherwise, after he regains his youth, Gua Gua will lose the soul contract of the Beast Taming Card and run away directly, and the guardian beast he prepared will be meaningless.

After observing March quietly to make sure that the spirit showed no signs of dissipating, Li Ji'an finally smiled with satisfaction and left with the Queen Ant and Guagua.

Now there are only three months left before rejuvenation, and he needs to make some more preparations.

At this time, nine years have passed since he left the Yan family. After rejuvenation, his bone age has reached eight years old, which is just the right time.

On the way out of the Fallen Dragon Ridge Mountains, Li Ji'an was once again shocked by Gua Gua's changes. Before, in the ant nest, because his soul had been blocked for a long time, he didn't feel it very strongly.

Now that he was outside, even though his spiritual awareness was condensed to the maximum, he still couldn't sense Gua Gua. If it weren't for the soul contract of the Beast Taming Card, he would have no way to stop Gua Gua if he had escaped from under his nose.

A few days later, Li Ji'an arrived at the original gathering area.

But at this moment he cast a disguise spell.

The disguise spells in this world use magic power to change the skin and flesh, and there is a magical aura escaping. If there are cultivators with similar spiritual awareness, although they cannot see through the true appearance, they can sense that it is a disguise.

Once the other party's spiritual awareness is one small realm higher than one's own, one can see through the other party's true nature and leave him nowhere to hide.

Moreover, most of the immortal cities and markets in this world, and even the family protection formations, have the means to break the disguise spells to prevent thieves from doing evil.

He first went to Chen Zhaohu's residence and found that he was still often away. Then he inquired about the situation of the eight major families in the wasteland in the past nine years in the central square. After that, he rented a yard in the center of the gathering area and asked Gua Gua to wait underground. Then he prepared the wooden barrel and medicinal materials for medicinal bath in the storage bag, as well as the marrow cleansing pills that were beneficial to the roots and bones, and waited with peace of mind.

The owner of the house is an old man in his sixties who has not yet started practicing Qigong or cultivating his body. His hair and beard are gray, and he walks with a trembling hand. He often comes here to sigh that time is unforgiving and regrets that he did not make up his mind to seek the Tao when he was young. Unfortunately, it is too late to regret now.

March passed quickly.

On this day, sixty-six-year-old Li Jinan felt something in his heart.

"coming!"
