Master is too ambitious

Ji Qian refined the Sword of Life and Death, and the heavy mountain in his heart was finally lifted, and he felt relieved. He opened his mouth and inhaled, taking the Sword of Life and Death into his Dantian and nurturing it.

The system interface popped up. The interface was red and festive, with a line of large golden characters scrolling: "Congratulations to the host for collecting three life instruments!"

"Thank you." Ji Qian smiled. His interface attribute had reached the middle stage of the soul. He closed the interface and said, "Now that my life instruments are complete, I can finally give it a try."

The system said with a smile: "The host has collected the Heavenly Justice Banner, the Book of Life and Death, and the Sword of Life and Death. There is a small achievement reward."

Ji Qian was a little surprised. The reason was simple. He had experienced a lot since he traveled through time, but the system had never given him any other rewards except for giving him some tips. So he asked, "What reward?"

The system rubbed its hands together, and even kept the secret, saying happily: "Host, you will know by looking at the backpack!"

Ji Qian opened the backpack interface and found five more jade boxes at the bottom of the backpack. He used his spiritual sense to investigate and found a line of words above the jade boxes: Low-grade longevity pills that can extend your life by eighty years.

"This... is really expensive!" Ji Qian naturally knew the value of the life-extending pill. Pills that could extend life by ten or twenty years could be sold at sky-high prices in the market. These five life-extending pills, each of which could extend life by eighty years, were really extremely precious.

The system's clip loli voice asked for credit: "Although I know the host doesn't need it, but the host can use this to exchange for something else, so I'm still going to come!"

Ji Qian didn't know what to say, so he just said solemnly: "Thank you very much!"

"Hehe, no need to thank me. It's good enough as long as the host can complete the task!" The system rubbed Ji Qian and said with a smile.

Ji Qian didn't bother to be polite with the system anymore. He just said okay, then closed the formation and left the refining room.

When the guy in the weapon refining room saw him coming out, he asked with a big smile on his face, "Senior, did you gain anything? Are you leaving now?"

"Indeed, let me pay now." Ji Qian followed the waiter to the counter. To rent the equipment refining room, one had to pay a deposit of one medium-grade spirit stone at the beginning, and one medium-grade spirit stone per year thereafter. Ji Qian also had to pay two. After paying the bill, the waiter attentively sent him to the door and said, "Senior, come again next time!"

Ji Qian nodded and turned into a breeze and left. He had not gone to find Qian Nanzhuan before because he was anxious to refine the Sword of Life and Death. Now that the sword has been refined, he will go to Qian Nanzhuan to buy some things and tell him the news of Bai Yunke's death.

It was common for cultivators to die while exploring caves. Ji Qian had teamed up with many people to explore caves before, but many of them were temporary teammates without any friendship. If they died, they just died. They just lamented that cultivation was not easy. But Bai Yunke was different. He was Ji Qian's friend in a sense. Now that he died, he still felt sad.

Stepping into the Treasure Pavilion, Qian Nanzhuan greeted customers as warmly as always, and Ji Qian was standing in front of the counter waiting.

"Oh, Master Jiqian is here!" Qian Nanzhuan hurriedly greeted Jiqian after seeing off the guests. He was very familiar with Jiqian, so he didn't think it was rude for not greeting him in time. Seeing Jiqian waiting for him to finish his business, he felt a sense of familiarity between friends. Qian Nanzhuan closed the door and invited Jiqian into the inner room to talk.

Qian Nanzhuan served Jiqian a pot of tea and two plates of snacks, and asked, "How was your trip to Jiaolu Cave Mansion? Did you meet the old poor man?"

Ji Qian sighed and said, "Mr. Qian, Senior Bai has passed away."

"What!" Qian Nanzhuan jumped up, looking incredulous. He and Bai Yunke were old acquaintances. Although he often disliked Bai Yunke for being poor, they had been friends for more than a hundred years and could be considered rare friends. Moreover, based on his understanding of Bai Yunke, although Bai Yunke was a casual cultivator, he had reached the perfect stage of the Soul Stage, had many adventures in his early years, and was very good at the "Piaomiao Sword Technique". He had also comprehended the sword intent, so he was not without the ability to fight even against a Jindan Grandmaster. How could he have died!

Ji Qian said: "I don't know what happened to you, senior, but the Jiaolu Cave Mansion is not an ancient cave mansion. I'm afraid someone made it deliberately to attract people." He described in detail what he saw and heard in the Jiaolu Cave Mansion, and Qian Nanzhuan looked thoughtful.

"Those who can build a cave house must be at the Yuanshen stage or above." Qian Nanzhuan guessed that he was only at the Shenhun stage, and the upper-grade Jindan stage was already out of reach for him, not to mention those above the Yuanshen stage, who were all existences that he had to look up to. He wiped his eyes and said, "Old poor guy... he died just like that, what a pity!" After all, Bai Yunke was the person who was most likely to achieve Jindan in the past hundred years.

Ji Qian sighed and said, "I have many questions about this Jiaolu Cave Mansion. When I return to the sect, I will ask Master for an answer."

The two were silent for a while.

After a while, Qian Nanzhuan asked, "I wonder if Master Jiqian, besides the matter of the poor old man, has anything else he needs help with?"

Ji Qian took out a list and said, "To be honest, Mr. Qian, I'm going to be in seclusion for a while. I hope Mr. Qian can help me keep an eye out for these natural treasures and come back to pick them up when I come out of seclusion."

After receiving the list, Qian Nanzhuan took a closer look and found that most of them were medicinal herbs. With so many herbs, he probably wanted to make pills. He put the list in his arms and said, "Don't worry, Master Jiqian. When you come out of seclusion, Old Qian will definitely collect them all for you!"

Ji Qian nodded, and without any hesitation, he paid the deposit and left. He rented a cave from a chain store that rented out caves for cultivation in the market, and began his retreat.

..........

The three souls and seven spirits follow the mysterious and ancient text tracks, trying to unite, but there is always a thin barrier blocking them, so that the three souls and seven spirits can only be scattered throughout the body.

Ji Qian withdrew his skills. His mind and spirit had been perfected and he had touched the barrier of the Golden Core Stage. The next thing was to explore various caves, seek opportunities, and achieve a top-grade Golden Core.

This time of seclusion lasted for a full twenty years. In addition to digesting his previous insights and improving his cultivation, he also upgraded his three natal magic weapons to the forty-ninth level of restrictions. In addition, his other three flying swords, the Qiantui Sword, the Hanrong Sword, and the Yuqian Sword, have been refined to the sixty-fourth level of restrictions. Baiqiu has been fully refined. If he cannot find better materials to refine Baiqiu again, I am afraid that when he reaches the Jindan stage, Baiqiu will be of little use.

Ji Qian asked the system in his sea of ​​consciousness: "What other materials can I use to refine my robes?"

The system rubbed its chin and said, "Yes, there is, but it's a bit of a waste." It suggested, "Why not refine another one when you reach the Jindan stage, and give this one to your future apprentice."

It seemed to make sense. Ji Qian thought about it and felt that the white fur coat was given by his master, and it had been used for so long, so it was a very memorable magical instrument. It would be better to give it to his disciple later.

After making the decision, Ji Qian closed the formation, paid the bill, and went to Qian Nanzhuan to pick up the items he had ordered earlier. Then he went to find a chain of alchemy shops, refined a large number of pills, and prepared to set out to look for opportunities.

...........

Ji Qian turned into a wisp of breeze and used the Great Teleportation Technique again, increasing his speed to a new level. However, the five sword lights of red, gold, white, purple and blue were still chasing him closely from behind.

This won't work! If hiding doesn't work, I'll just have to force it!

The sword moved with his heart, the sword of life and death revolved around him, and the other three swords appeared behind him. The "Shenman Yishu Sword Technique" appeared repeatedly in Ji Qian's mind. God was there, and he commanded all things to be swords, cutting off all obstacles. A white sword light shot up into the sky, and the three swords behind it each split into three, following closely behind. The sword energy collided, and there was a loud bang, exploding countless starlight. The five sword lights dissipated, and Ji Qian took the opportunity to escape quickly.

It's really deadly! He swallowed a mouthful of the pill to replenish his physical strength. He didn't dare to stop and continued to escape in the narrow passage. A little light appeared in front of him. Ji Qian took a breath, added another talisman, and his speed increased, and he rushed towards the light.

Ji Qian plunged into the bright light and emerged in a room that contained only a mirror as tall as his own.

Ji Qian showed up. As soon as he showed up, five sword lights of red, gold, white, purple and blue appeared above his head and slashed towards him. The pressure of the sword lights made his soul shaky. He took a breath and the Tai Tian Xing Dao Banner appeared in his hand. He waved the small banner and black and white aura appeared on his body and tightly surrounded him. At the same time, the sword of life and death surrounded him, and the sound of ding ding was endless. The five-colored sword light and his sword of life and death fought together.

The Book of Life and Death flipped through the pages and finally stopped at a certain page. A pen moved as it pleased and tapped on the words that appeared on the page. The five-colored sword light paused for a moment, and at that moment, Ji Qian appeared in front of the mirror and the five-colored sword light disappeared.

In the mirror, Ji Qian saw a small, young woman with a ponytail holding his hand with one hand, humming a song, and carrying a basket in the other. They were walking on the ridge of a field full of yellow rapeseed flowers.

The woman asked, "Ah Qian, you are going to see your father soon. Are you happy?"

Ji Qian in the mirror nodded vigorously, tilted his head and asked, "Mom, will Dad like the eggs I scrambled?"

The woman smiled and replied, "Of course, Dad likes Qian the most."

The man and the woman sat at the door of the operating room, staring at the door motionlessly. The woman cried and asked, "Why hasn't Ah Qian come out yet?"

The man put his arm around his wife's shoulders. He had no way to answer, so he could only pat his wife's shoulders and comfort her silently. The two of them sat at the door like two sculptures.

Ji Qian sighed. He could not forget his parents. He could not accompany them. Perhaps he would be able to see them again when he achieved the state of a spirit or reached a higher level in the future.

The scene in the mirror changed. Ji Qian was walking on the road. Two girls passed by and looked at him. They covered their mouths and laughed at the same time and said, "Oh my god, he is so fat! He is like a wall!"

Ji Qian was sitting in the last row of the classroom in his school uniform, and the people around him were whispering: "Wow, is he playing with Feng Qing?" "Doesn't Feng Qing like the same sex?" "Wow, is he the same?" "I want to throw up, and he's so ugly!"

On a certain road in the university, a well-dressed man said to Ji Qian: "People like you, who are fat and ugly, and don't speak well, who would like you except me?"

Ji Qian laughed. So, you look down on me and pretend to like me, so I should look up to you? Should I be grateful to you? Are you worthy?

Ji Qian's figure appeared in the mirror again. He was tall and thin, with a handsome face. He wore a half-high collared white short-sleeved T-shirt, mopping black wide-leg pants, and thick-soled white fashion shoes. He looked elegant. The little girls pointed at him from a distance and peeked at him shyly.

A girl blocked Ji Qian at his door and said to him, "I really like you! Marry me!"

There was a boy who already had a boyfriend, but still said to him: "You are really my ideal boyfriend!"

Ji Qian was speechless as he re-watched these scenes, as if he was back to that time again. He felt speechless as if he had eaten a fly, and sighed that some people are really shameless. Forget it, just be yourself.

The picture in the mirror changed again. It was that he had just traveled to the Luofu Immortal Sword Sect. He was hurriedly going to and from get out of class alone, and occasionally Hua Zixian would chat with him.

Hua Zixian sighed and said, "Why is cultivation so difficult? I really envy you, Jiqian."

Ji Qian continued to walk closer to the mirror, and Bai Yunke appeared in the mirror. Bai Yunke patted his shoulder and said, "Today, you and I will prove the truth together!"

A child in ragged clothes said, "I am just a refugee, the mud on the ground."

The King of Qin said with great enthusiasm: "I don't have any great ideas that want to be passed down through the ages. I just want everyone to have enough food to eat!"

The young girl Jiyun said firmly: "Father, I want to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy! Protect everyone!"

There were more and more scenes, and finally stopped at the scene where the parents were staring blankly at the door of the operating room, Jiyun was lying in the coffin, Bai Yunke was dead in a strange posture and a miserable state, and Ji Qian smiled in front of the mirror. His parents, his daughter, and his friends had all left, but he was powerless to do anything.

But, if this is a test from heaven, then, Ji Qian took a step forward. My parents, Ji Yun, and Bai Yunke all insisted on the path in their hearts. Then, what about me? Have I ever wavered? Ji Qian asked himself.

Is it just because of system requirements?

Is it because there is nothing we can do?

No, Ji Qian smiled, what I seek is like-minded people, a clear conscience that is worthy of everything, persistence in one's own opinions without fear of rumors, and the mysterious way of life and death, and never wavering!

In an instant, the mirror turned into powder, a golden light exploded, and a spiritual power storm formed a funnel shape above Ji Qian's head. His mind was clear, and his three souls and seven spirits returned to their places and merged into one, and a state of resonance between heaven and man appeared.

A unicorn with a sheep's head, wolf's hooves, a round top, and colorful divine light appeared in the sky. It ran across the sky, and then a neon line appeared in the sky, but then it started to rain heavily.

Ji Qian felt that he had never been so clear-headed before. He was in a mysterious feeling, directing him to engrave runes on his three natal magic weapons.

It was unknown how long it had been since the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was absorbed. Ji Qian opened his eyes and he finally achieved a top-grade golden elixir!

The system then poked its head out and said joyfully: "Congratulations to the host for achieving the Golden Elixir!"

Ji Qian smiled and said, "Thank you." He seemed to have a new understanding of himself and said, "Let's do this in the future."

The system didn't understand, but still replied: "Okay, okay, host, keep going!" The system also reminded: "The host should retreat to consolidate his cultivation, and then return to the sect!"

Ji Qian hummed, turned into a wisp of breeze, and escaped from the cave.
