Time Travel: The Survival of Li Zhi

"how..."

Immortal Master Liu's hoarse voice sounded, pulling Li Zhi back from his thoughts.

Li Zhi glanced at Master Liu. Now Master Liu had thin cheeks and high cheekbones, making his entire facial contour look particularly rugged.

His eyes were deeply sunken into his eye sockets, but the gleam in his eyes was as bright as a pair of suns.

His eyes were fixed on Li Zhi, making Li Zhi feel as if he was about to be burned to ashes by his gaze.

Li Zhi forced himself to suppress this strange illusion. He lowered his head and said, "My disciple feels that he lacks energy recently. I am afraid that he will not be able to practice another spell..."

Before coming to Xiaoyao Mountain, Li Zhi had also fantasized about practicing a bunch of magic spells so that he could use them when the time comes.

However, after he actually practiced it, he found that having more spells is not necessarily better.

It is better to be proficient in one thing than to be proficient in all things.

This is really good.

Li Zhi now possesses three magic spells, which not only divides up his daily practice time, but also increases the strain on his body.

Now Master Liu actually wants him to practice one more spell. How can Li Zhi agree to this?

He is afraid that he will have the life to practice but not the life to use it!

Immortal Master Liu was not surprised to hear Li Zhi's refusal. He laughed and said, "I know that the burden of three spells is already very heavy, but it is not your limit yet. If you learn one more, I will take you to find the five elements of nature and help you complete your five internal organs."

Li Zhi naturally refused to accept the promise made by Master Liu. He said directly: "Three spells are already my limit. If you add another one, I will not be able to bear it no matter what!"

Immortal Master Liu's eyes flickered like fireflies in the dark night. He said in a hoarse voice: "I have fought hard to get this opportunity for you. If you don't learn, it will be a waste..."

Hearing this, Li Zhi looked up at Master Liu, staring into his eyes that were like fireflies, and said calmly: "I am afraid that I will have the life to learn... but not the life to use..."

"Just learn one more, just one more..." Immortal Master Liu's voice was still hoarse.

Li Zhi said in a low voice: "Master, why do you want me to practice so many spells? Do you want to see your only disciple being overwhelmed by spells, or do you have other plans?"

Hearing Li Zhi say this, Master Liu burst into laughter. He laughed so hard that he started coughing.

Master Liu covered his chest and coughed for a while before slowly calming down. He looked at Li Zhi.

"What plans can a master have? They are all for you. You are the only disciple I have. How can I bear to let you be exhausted by magic?"

Immortal Master Liu stared at Li Zhi, and then continued: "How about this, you practice one more spell, and I will ask for a drop of heavenly spirit water for you."

"Tian Ling Shui?"

Li Zhi raised his eyebrows.

He actually knew this thing. It was recorded in the Records of Rare Treasures that the Heavenly Spirit Water contained enormous spiritual energy and vitality. It was rumored that one drop of the Heavenly Spirit Water could save hundreds of people.

Although the records are a bit exaggerated, they are enough to show the wonderfulness of this heavenly spiritual water.

Since Master Liu had invested so much, Li Zhi no longer refused. He lowered his head and said, "In that case, Master, I will follow your instructions and practice one more spell."

Seeing that Li Zhi agreed, Master Liu's haggard face showed a smile. He said: "So what do you want to practice..."

Li Zhi heard this and thought for a while.

Just now, Master Liu gave him three choices, one was the Three Absolute Swords, another was the Withering and Flourishing Technique, and the other was the Spirit Pointing Finger.

Li Zhi had seen the Three Swords with his own eyes.

I believe no one can refuse this extreme offensive method.

However, after hearing the other two spells mentioned by Master Liu, Li Zhi hesitated.

The Art of Withering and Flourishing is a magic spell that uses withering and flourishing to determine life and death, with the left hand giving life and the right hand giving death.

This kind of magic is not only powerful but also strange, and it is difficult to resist with ordinary means.

As for the spirit finger...

It can enlighten living beings and open their spiritual intelligence, or it can erase their spiritual intelligence.

Moreover, the Spirit Pointing Finger can also perform functions such as sealing and unlocking seals.

The black sword that Li Zhi is using now is the one that Master Liu sealed the Hundred-Eyed Sky Demon in with his spiritual finger.

After thinking for a moment, Li Zhi decided to practice the Spirit Finger Technique.

Because after practicing the Pointing Spirit Finger, he can release the hundred-eyed insect in the black sword, so that he will have an extra celestial demon to help him.

After Li Zhi made up his mind, he looked up at Master Liu and said, "Master, I have decided to practice the Spirit Finger Technique!"

Immortal Master Liu didn't seem surprised. He nodded and said, "Okay, you go and practice for now. I'll go get you a drop of Heavenly Spirit Water first."

Li Zhi bowed to Master Liu and said goodbye. As for how Master Liu got the Heavenly Spirit Water, Li Zhi didn't care. Anyway, he would never practice other magic without the Heavenly Spirit Water.

Master Liu looked deeply at Li Zhi's back as he left.

Only after Li Zhi completely left did Master Liu slowly stand up.

He was trembling, as if he would fall down at any time, but when he staggered to the entrance of the cave.

He seemed to hesitate for a moment, then stepped out of the cave.

As he took this step forward, his originally withered body seemed to be filled with energy and blood that came from nowhere. In the blink of an eye, the originally skinny Master Liu instantly recovered into the body of a normal middle-aged man.

The gray hair turned black rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the originally loose skin on his face became firm.

By the time Master Liu walked out of the cave completely, he changed from an old man to a young man, and then turned into a teenager!

The young-looking Master Liu looked back at the cave behind him. He brushed his Taoist robe lightly and then walked towards it.

 …

"Brother Ouyang, I'm here to visit you!"

Immortal Master Liu's full-bodied voice rang out outside Ouyang Duan's cave.

"Click——"

The door of Ouyang Duan's cave was opened, and Ouyang Duan, with a handsome and dignified face, walked out of the cave.

Ouyang Duan looked at Master Liu, who was several dozen years younger than him. He frowned, but seemed to sense something. He said to Master Liu, "What do you want to see me for today?"

The young Master Liu seemed to have lost the gloomy look that had been welded onto his face. He smiled and said, "Junior brother, I came here today to ask you for a drop of Heavenly Spirit Water."

Ouyang Duan's face changed when he heard this, and he quickly said, "How can I have such a precious thing as Tianling Water?"

"Brother, you are joking. I remember that time at Qianji Mountain, Brother Ouyang fished out a whole bottle of Tianling Water."

Master Liu knew Ouyang Duan inside and out. Seeing Ouyang Duan denying it, he also exposed Ouyang Duan's shortcomings without hesitation.

Seeing this, Ouyang Duan wanted to deny it. He said, "the time you mentioned happened many years ago. The spiritual water has been consumed long ago."

Master Liu had always been at odds with Ouyang Duan. Seeing that he had refused again and again, Master Liu was too lazy to argue with him anymore and said directly: "Since Senior Brother is reluctant to take it out, then I will go and get it myself."

After saying that, Master Liu walked towards Ouyang Duan's cave.

Ouyang Duan's face changed, and he stood in front of Master Liu with a gloomy face.

"Brother, don't you think this behavior is a bit presumptuous?" Ouyang Duan said in a bad tone.

Immortal Master Liu smiled and said, "Haven't I always been so unrestrained?"

In an instant, the color of heaven and earth changed.

Master Liu's whole body was flashing with colorful arcs of electricity, his robes fluttered without wind, and an extremely powerful aura was brewing in his body.

"Since senior brother is unwilling, I can only shamelessly ask for your advice!" Master Liu said loudly.

The voice was just like that of the high-spirited young man many years ago.
