The Dao dies but I live on, the spiritual energy dries up but I remain evergreen

The villagers welcomed the arrival of the immortal, otherwise they would not have gone out of their way to clear the way for him so early in the morning.

It is rumored that if a family has descendants who can embark on the path to immortality, it is a great blessing. They can enjoy the protection of good fortune and live a peaceful life without any major problems.

The young men from the town also came to the village. They took off their brocade and silk clothes and wore plain cloth, for fear that the immortal would think they could not endure hardship.

The immortal stroked his beard and selected his disciples from the crowd.

He also demonstrated one or two tricks, which amazed the villagers and aroused the enthusiasm of the children.

But at this moment, a discordant voice sounded.

A middle-aged wanderer saw through the immortal's tricks, scolded him, and demonstrated the tricks again.

Suddenly, everyone cast suspicious eyes at the immortal. A hint of coldness flashed in the immortal's eyes, and he shouted loudly, "Don't compare your tricks with my methods."

As he spoke, the immortal walked up to the knight in the martial arts world and lightly touched his forehead.

The martial artist's eyes became dazed and he died on the spot. The one seeking immortality knelt on the ground in fear, while the immortal murmured, "Disrespecting the immortal master is a capital crime!"

Li Changxiao hid in the house, watching all this, his brows slightly frowned.

What the Jianghu man said is true.

The immortal is really an immortal, and...

Unfortunately, I had some encounter with him.

If Li Changxiao remembered correctly, this immortal should be called "Song Xuan".

He is a genius in Panlong Sect and joined the sect almost at the same time as Li Changxiao.

I used to be very arrogant, and looked like I hated the sky for being too low and the sea for being too shallow.

Of course, this is not the most important thing.

The most important thing is that this guy once bullied Li Changxiao and publicly mocked Li Changxiao as a waste. In the future, Li Changxiao should be careful in any secret realm where he is.

In addition, he would come to cause trouble for Li Changxiao every few days.

But later on, his cultivation level advanced too quickly, while Li Changxiao remained stagnant. He gradually found it boring and became too lazy to bother him anymore.

Afterwards, Li Changxiao also left Panlong Sect and went to explore other places.

Li Changxiao raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "Song Xuan, Song Xuan, I didn't expect to meet you here."

"However, what I didn't expect was that you, who are so arrogant, would actually use tricks to deceive ordinary people, and you were even exposed."

Li Changxiao murmured.

Song Xuan's trick was exposed, and he became angry and killed the gangster.

"You have a connection with the immortals. Would you like to practice with me?" Song Xuan's gaze rested on Zhang Tian.

A strange color flashed in his eyes.

"Yes! Yes!" Zhang Tian nodded excitedly. He didn't expect that he would be the first one to be favored by the immortal.

"I told you that Zhang Tian will definitely be successful in the future!"

"Zhang boy, have you finished eating the pancake my family made for you? After you finish, I will make you another one so that you can eat it on your journey to seek immortality."

The villagers sent congratulations one after another, trying to get close to him intentionally or unintentionally.

Zhang Tianyi responded with a smile, thinking that this was the highlight moment of his life.

Half an hour later.

After the immortal has finished his selection, he lets the chosen person go home to say goodbye.

Zhang Tian had no family, so he had nothing to say goodbye to, but he suddenly remembered that the swordsman who had told him stories for two days seemed to be still sleeping soundly at home.

So he thought about going back and telling him about it, and hurried home, opened the door, woke up Li Changxiao who was pretending to be asleep, and said that he would become a god in the future.

He was so excited that he danced with joy. Li Changxiao nodded in agreement, but he sighed in his heart.

"I think by then, I will definitely be a great monk who is free and unrestrained in the world."

"When the time comes, let's meet at the top of Laopan Mountain. I'll tell you the story of the world of immortal cultivation."

Xiao Zhangtian is very excited and full of expectations for the future.

Before Li Changxiao could speak, he shouted "It's settled", picked up the bag that had been prepared long ago, and ran outside.

Li Changxiao's eyes were deep.

He just muttered to himself, "Do I really have to practice?"

Immediately, he shook his head and laughed. What qualifications did he have to criticize others?

But in little Zhang Tian, ​​he saw himself who once went to Panlong Sect to seek immortality.

But then again...

Li Changxiao's gaze fixed, and the gleam in his eyes dimmed.

This Song Xuan had a grudge against him and had once tried to kill him during a duel. If he had not possessed the Great Dream Immortal Body, he would have died at the hands of the other party long ago.

See you again now.

Li Changxiao doesn't mind settling some old accounts.

In addition, in this period of spiritual energy depletion, there must be something strange about Song Xuan accepting a disciple, so he wanted to go and take a look.

Thinking of this, he prepared some drinks, hid his skills, and followed the group.

He did not come closer, but followed from a distance.

Under dusk.

Song Xuan led a dozen or twenty people and walked on the mountain path.

The accumulated snow made it difficult for everyone to move.

Zhang Tian regarded this as a test from the immortal and did not dare to complain.

"In front is my immortal residence." Song Xuan said lightly.

Everyone came to a cave.

Zhang Tian and others frowned, as this was somewhat different from what they had imagined.

He thought, shouldn't a cultivator be able to travel the world with pride? Why would he live in such a dark cave?

Song Xuan was too lazy to explain, "Once you enter this cave, you will be a disciple of my Zhilong Sect."

"First, use the mountain spring water to wash away the foul air in your body, and then start practicing."

He led the dozen or twenty people into the cave and disappeared from Li Changxiao's sight.

Zhang Tian and others entered the mansion.

A stream of mountain spring water came into view, and Song Xuan ordered them to take off their clothes and go downstairs to wash.

There was a woman, who was the eldest daughter of the town. She cried and refused to practice cultivation. She even cried and asked her parents to take her back. She didn't want to practice cultivation anymore.

Song Xuan was furious. He took the machete and chopped off the woman's arm without hesitation, blood splattering.

Everyone was frightened and took off their clothes and washed in the small mountain spring pool.

The spring water was icy cold. After washing, everyone was almost frozen to death. Song Xuan grinned and led everyone to the depths.

We arrived at an area similar to a prison cell, where more than a dozen people were already detained.

Song Xuan locked everyone up roughly. There was only two square meters of space inside, barely enough for someone to lie down.

He left a book to each person and asked them to practice according to the principles in it. If they slacked off, they would be whipped.

"Master? Why? Aren't we here to seek immortality?" someone asked in confusion.

"Don't be silly, brother. This man is a lunatic." A skinny man who looked like he had been detained for a long time had a face full of despair and regret.

The series of dramatic changes frightened little Zhang Tian so much that his face turned pale.

Trembling, the dream of becoming an immortal was shattered.
