Science solves cases? No, I am an immortal cultivator!

United States.

new York.

Inside an old apartment building.

Li Changsheng slowly opened his eyes and looked at the unfamiliar ceiling, a little dazed.

"I...I think I'm dead, right?"

"Where is this place?" Li Changsheng looked around.

The walls are slightly yellowed, some of the paint has peeled off, the carpet is badly worn, and the old furniture is arranged in a staggered manner. The whole room is filled with an ancient atmosphere and a sense of age.

Before he could figure out what was going on.

"what--"

Suddenly, a sharp pain made him feel like dying, and he rolled around on the ground. It was not physical pain, but came from the depths of his soul.

It took Li Changsheng a while to recover. Sweat wet his hair and stuck to his forehead. He was gasping for breath.

He swore that even being struck by lightning wouldn't hurt this much!

"I actually traveled through time..."

Just now, Li Changsheng received the original owner's memory and understood his current situation.

His original name is Kitagawa Taki, a Japanese who is studying in the United States and is about to graduate.

What concerned Li Changsheng was that Kitagawa Taki's parents died unexpectedly when he was in high school. Since then, he has been living with his uncle named Dr. Agasa and transferred to Teitan High School in Beika Town.

After graduating from high school, I went to college in another province and then studied abroad.

Since the original body was a person with a strong sense of self-esteem, he did not want to add too much burden to Dr. Agasa and was used to working and studying, so he lived in this old apartment.

As a result, some people were electrocuted to death due to short circuit in the electrical circuit.

"Dr. Agasa...Teitan High School..."

Li Changsheng's mouth twitched. Could this be the world of Detective Conan?!

Although Li Changsheng is a cultivator, he is not a Taoist who is indifferent to worldly affairs and is devoted to the pursuit of immortality.

On the contrary, he went through elementary school, middle school, and university just like ordinary people, except that he had an additional assignment: cultivating immortality.

In the Dharma-Ending Age, immortal cultivators are extremely rare and their cultivation is very low. Things like moving mountains and filling the sea, and calling the wind and rain are all plots in novels. In fact, they cannot even withstand ordinary thermal weapons and it is impossible for them to escape from worldly life.

Therefore, Li Changsheng also has the same interests and hobbies as ordinary people, such as animation, movies, music, sports...

I've read Detective Conan, of course, but I can't remember a lot of it. After all, Detective Conan actually outlived him. It wasn't finished until he died...

Li Changsheng was born into a family of immortal cultivators. His great-grandfather was even the legendary Golden Elixir master. However, as the spiritual energy became thinner and thinner, cultivation became more and more difficult, and the family began to decline.

There was even a generational gap between his grandfather and father's generations.

The two of them did not have the qualifications to practice cultivation and were unable to draw Qi into their bodies.

So, they had to place their hopes on him, and that's why they gave him the name Li Changsheng.

Longevity is just a metaphor. In reality, the lifespan of a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage is only about a hundred years old, roughly the same as that of an ordinary person. A cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage can live up to two or three hundred years; and a cultivator in the Golden Core Stage can live up to five or six hundred years...

Li Changsheng did not disappoint their expectations and reached the great perfection of the Qi Refining Stage in just over a decade.

However, just when he thought he was about to reach the peak of his life, marry a beautiful and rich woman, and expand his family.

Reality dealt him a heavy blow. Due to the limitation of spiritual energy, the threshold of the foundation-building stage was like a natural chasm blocking his way.

Six years, six times! Six attempts to build a foundation, all ended in failure.

Each time he built his foundation, he only needed one foundation-building pill, but the materials needed for the foundation-building pill were extremely precious and cost a lot of money. The Li family, which had long been in decline, had its assets drained out in a few years, forcing him to make money by catching ghosts and exorcising evil spirits for others.

After the last failure in building the foundation, Li Changsheng couldn't bear it anymore and started cursing at the sky and spewing out a lot of trash. He felt relieved but ended up in tragedy.

The sky was clear, but suddenly a bolt of lightning struck, and Li Changsheng lost consciousness...

After adjusting his mood, Li Changsheng got up and went to the bathroom, washed his face with cold water, and carefully looked at the person in the mirror.

He has an angular face, black eyes, sword-like eyebrows, and medium-length black hair.

He was born with a good appearance, and now he has truly traveled through time and space to become a handsome guy in Tokyo. He is just a little dark, probably because he has been working part-time outside for a long time.

Li Changsheng looked at the unfamiliar face in the mirror and murmured, "From now on, I will be Beichuan Taki..."

Kitagawa Taki felt his pocket and found a wallet and a cell phone.

The wallet contained over $100 in cash and a large number of cards.

Various gift cards, shopping cards, coupons...

The phone was an old-fashioned black push-button phone, and seeing this, he realized that he must be early in the plot.

The weirdest thing about Conan is the timeline. Conan has been in the first grade of elementary school for over twenty years!

However, this rekindled Kitagawa Taki's hope of cultivating immortality. If this was the case, he would have plenty of time to practice, and as long as he had enough spiritual energy, he would be able to advance.

Also, the winery in Detective Conan seems to be researching the elixir of life. If they can really make it...

However, it seems that Conan never grows up, and the timeline stays in that year forever. Is this also considered immortality?

Putting aside his messy thoughts, Kitagawa Taki immediately started practicing the immortal cultivation technique from his previous life - "Yuanchu Xian Jue".

"The Secret of the Yuanchu Immortal" is all-encompassing, including martial arts, Taoism, talismans, weapon refining, alchemy, and formations.

It is said that this technique can be practiced to the point of ascending to heaven in broad daylight, but unfortunately, without sufficient spiritual energy, the technique will be useless.

A few hours passed in the blink of an eye...

Beichuan Taki finally drew the Qi into his body and turned it into his own use. With a trace of spiritual power in his body, he officially stepped into the first level of Qi training.

At this moment, he also felt the spiritual power of this world, which was much stronger than the world before he crossed over!

Kitagawa Taki's face showed ecstasy.

Finally! He finally had a chance to build his foundation!

It was like it was stuck at 99.9% of the loading bar before, and now the remaining 0.1% is loose!!

Taking advantage of this momentum, Kitagawa Taki began to practice the nine-character mantra - "Lin, Bing, Dou, Zhe, Jie, Zhen, Lie, Qian, Xing".

The Nine-Character Mantra is a Taoist method in "Yuanchu Xian Jue", and each mantra corresponds to a level of the Qi training period.

But it is not limited to use in the Qi Refining Stage. It is also very useful in the Foundation Establishment Stage and even the Golden Core Stage. Its effect will increase as the practitioner's cultivation level improves.

The "Lin" mantra requires the formation of a unique cobalt seal, which can enable the practitioner to increase strength, speed, etc. in an instant, as if a god has arrived.

Compared with the practice of martial arts, the practice of Taoism is much simpler. Beichuan Taki quickly mastered the "Lin" technique.

……

night.

Kitagawa Taki quickly ate his dinner and turned on the antique TV.

In those days, without smartphones or computers, the only way to pass the time was to watch TV.

At this time, the news was being broadcast in English on TV.

"Recently, a road demon appeared on the streets of New York City, victimizing several young women. Police are currently conducting a full-scale search for him. Citizens, please pay attention to safety and remain vigilant when traveling..."
