I rely on talismans to seek longevity

Luo Ling didn't know how long he had been unconscious, he just felt like he was rolling around, and when the effect of the golden ball talisman wore off, Luo Ling suddenly woke up by a mouthful of water. When he woke up, he found that he was no longer in the river, but seemed to be by a pool in a cave.

Just when I was about to stand up, I found that I had no strength in my whole body. My left shoulder was in great pain. After a careful examination, I found that it was not only dislocated, but more importantly, a large piece of flesh on my shoulder was pierced by the gun, and I could see the bones. I quickly took out a healing pill and swallowed it. After a while, my whole body felt cold, and I suddenly felt that my shoulder was no longer so painful, and even the internal injuries I had suffered before were healing.

After an hour, Luo Ling felt that he had regained some strength, so he slowly walked out of the pool, walked to the shore, and observed carefully. It turned out that this was a cave, and the exit of the cave was connected to the underground river below. When Luo Ling sank to the bottom of the water, the golden ball kept moving forward with the water flow, and when it reached a whirlpool, it was directly sucked in, causing it to rush from the underground river into the cave entrance.

As he continued walking forward along the cave, he suddenly saw a bright light in front of him. It turned out that the walls were inlaid with night-shining pearls as big as eggs. As soon as he saw this, Luo Ling immediately became alert. These were obviously artificially inlaid. The further he walked, the wider the front door became. After walking for a few feet, a huge cave several dozen feet wide appeared in front of him, as if it was a huge naturally formed palace. Around the cave, there were a dozen night-shining pearls sparsely hung. These magical gems emitted a soft and bright light in the dark, illuminating the entire cave like daylight.

On the right side, looking up, you can see that the top of the cave is covered with stalactites of various shapes. Some of them are like upside-down lotus flowers, some are like slender sword sheaths, and some are like huge umbrella caps. They are breathtaking in their various shapes. Under the reflection of the night pearl, these stalactites appear more crystal clear, as if they contain endless years and stories, and you can faintly hear the sound of "tick-tock, tick-tock".

On the left hand side, there is a very flat stone. There is a bookshelf on the wall with some jade bottles and books on it. An old man is sitting on the stone with a furnace in front of him, as if he is refining the elixir, but there is no fire on the furnace, nor can I feel the heat from the furnace.

Luo Ling quickly bowed to the old man and said, "Senior, I came here unintentionally. I hope you can forgive me." After waiting for a long time and seeing no response from the other party, Luo Ling slowly moved his feet and took a few steps forward. He found that the old man in front of him still did not respond. Only then did Luo Ling use his spiritual sense to explore. This exploration found that the other party had no breath for a long time and was probably dead a long time ago.

At this time, Luo Ling walked over quickly and saw the old man sitting cross-legged in front of the alchemy furnace, his white hair covered with dust. The Taoist robe on his body could not withstand the erosion of time and had many holes of corruption. When he walked in, he found that the old man was completely supported by the skeleton outside the clothes, which made Luo Ling feel that there was a person in front of him.

Seeing this, it is certain that the old man has been dead for at least several decades. In the old man's hand is a jade slip. Luo Ling took it and scanned it with his spiritual sense. Immediately, a large amount of text poured into Luo Ling's mind.

It turned out that the old man's name was Chen Daoxuan, and he was from Qinglanzhou. Born in a medical family, this family's medical skills were quite good, and they had a high reputation in Qinglanzhou. When he was young, he met a wandering Taoist priest by chance. Seeing that he was so close and familiar with herbs, he even guided him into the door of cultivation. From then on, in order to break away from the world, he ran away from home and gave up his fiancée who had been engaged to seek immortality. He practiced all the way and broke through to the foundation before the age of 50. Only then did he realize that he was not qualified enough and might not be able to achieve the golden elixir in this life. So he searched for the magic medicine that could break through the physique throughout the continent, and devoted himself to the art of alchemy. When he completed his foundation, he was almost 200 years old. He knew that his life span was insufficient, and he wanted to find a thousand-year-old stalactite to increase the chance of forming a pill. After several twists and turns, he finally found the thousand-year-old stalactite here, and used the thousand-year-old stalactite to refine the first Nirvana Pill in the history that changed the physique. It was a pity that at the end of the alchemy, he exhausted his mind and was already exhausted.

So he left this record, hoping that someone with a predestined relationship would take his remains back to his hometown and bury them next to his parents, and he also stated that if there is an afterlife, he will no longer seek immortality, but be an ordinary person, live a stable life, and enjoy the happiness of family. The Nirvana Pill was placed in the pill furnace, and he left with hatred after putting down a protective ban.

After reading this memoir, Luo Ling suddenly felt confused. He felt the same way. Was he also on the path to immortality? If not, where would he go?

Suddenly Luo Ling felt that it was a good thing that she was alone, and she would not have to leave home like the old man Chen Daoxuan, who missed his family. And the person she wanted to see needed a higher level of cultivation to have the opportunity to meet. However, what about Gu Nanxin? After a serious analysis, she realized that she was not in love with Gu Nanxin at all, but she was ignorant of emotions, so she felt it was love. In fact, it was just the love of a brother for his sister.

After sorting out these things, Luo Ling suddenly felt that his Tao heart was more stable, so he opened the alchemy furnace and saw a golden pill inside, about the size of a pigeon egg. Luo Ling used his spiritual sense and followed the old man's instructions to directly collect the pill. Then he ate it without hesitation. The pill melted in his mouth, and a fiery energy filled Luo Ling's body, and then the energy drew a circle, surrounding Luo Ling in circles.

Slowly, these energies turned into cocoon silk and wrapped Luo Ling up. Luo Ling felt as if all the bones in his body were broken, and every piece of flesh was like being peeled off. It was very painful. At first, Luo Ling insisted and didn't let such pain make him faint. Slowly, Luo Ling found that his whole body was wet, and such pain was like millions of ants biting his bones. He wanted to shout but couldn't. Just when Luo Ling thought he couldn't stand it, a cool breath flowed through his body, and he felt extremely comfortable. Unfortunately, before a quarter of an hour had passed, the previous pain came back. It went on and on like this, and I don't know how many rounds I went through. Luo Ling had already fainted.

Looking from the outside, Luo Ling looked like a cocoon, and no one knew when he would be able to break out of it.
