My Mythical Path to Immortality in Another World

Zhao Xuan walked around the spiritual field he had cultivated, clearing away the weeds one by one and storing them as life force in his green bamboo staff. As for the weeds themselves, after having all their life force plundered, they withered instantly and turned into dust.

This is also part of his spiritual practice; it looks simple, but it actually takes up half of his time every day.

Weeds are weeds because they grow in inappropriate places.

In another place, it might be herbs, medicinal herbs.

There is spiritual energy in the world. The peaceful scent of plants is closest to spiritual energy and therefore most easily influenced by it.

Rice, on the other hand, may have lost its natural characteristics during the cultivation process and is not favored by spiritual energy.

Perhaps brought by birds, or perhaps by a gentle breeze, seeds from afar fell into the spiritual field and quickly took root and sprouted.

In addition, the soil in the spirit field is fertile and has more abundant spiritual energy than in nature, so weeds grow even faster.

Overnight, countless weeds sprouted from the spirit field, competing with the rice for nutrients.

Therefore, he consumes a large amount of world weeding every day.

After weeding, it was already noon. Zhao Xuan cooked two dishes, one meat and one vegetable, and steamed a pound of first-grade spiritual rice as his staple food. He then ate slowly and carefully.

If Zhao Xuan's greatest gain from his transmigration is to say that it is not that he has embarked on cultivation, but that his heart has become calmer and he has learned to enjoy tranquility.

Tranquility is not loneliness or desolation; it is doing nothing but observing the harmony and loveliness of all things in the world.

It was a feeling of oneness with nature, as if one's soul had been cleansed.

"Ring ring ring," a crisp bell sound disturbed Zhao Xuan's tranquility.

He frowned slightly, put down his chopsticks, went to the front yard, and opened the gate.

"Young Master." An old man dressed in black bowed slowly to Zhao Xuan. The old man looked to be in his fifties, dressed simply but very properly.

"Steward Zhao, what is it?" Zhao Xuan nodded slightly in return and then asked.

Butler Zhao seemed used to Zhao Xuan's attitude. "On the 17th, the Third Young Master will be hosting a luncheon at Lingyun Pavilion. He invites the Eldest Young Master to attend."

"Third brother, you've broken through again? That's fast. I won't go then. Tell your brother that the spirit valley in the manor needs looking after, and I can't leave. Come tomorrow and I'll bring the gift over." Zhao Xuan smiled slightly, as if remembering something.

"Hehe, young master, you probably have to go in person, otherwise you'll be in for a rough time," Butler Zhao said with a chuckle.

"Oh, why is that?" Zhao Xuan was taken aback.

"Since the Third Young Master has said so, I can only relay his message in this way," Butler Zhao said with a mysterious smile.

"You cunning old fox, you know that's not what I want to hear," Zhao Xuan chuckled.

"The eldest young master lives alone away from home, while the third young master meets a girl at the academy and falls in love with her. They cause quite a few laughs at the academy, and the head of the family is repeatedly reprimanded by the academy's instructors."

However, with his sincerity, the girl gradually accepted the Third Young Master's pursuit, and this summer she returned with him.

The third young master wanted to formally introduce him to his relatives and friends, which is why he was holding a luncheon on the seventeenth to entertain his peers. "Butler Zhao said with a smile.

"Oh. Then I absolutely must go. Go back and tell my third brother that I will definitely come on time." Zhao Xuan nodded.

"Then I shall take my leave. I dare not linger in your courtyard any longer." Steward Zhao bowed and took his leave.

"You old codger, you're really powerless. You've eaten your fair share of those snake fruits, haven't you?" Zhao Xuan said with a laugh as he watched Steward Zhao leave.

"No, no, it can't compare," Butler Zhao said cheerfully, waving his hand.

Watching Butler Zhao leave, Zhao Xuan closed the door and continued eating, as if nothing had happened.

Butler Zhao, who had just left, secretly sighed to himself that the young master's aura was becoming increasingly profound.

"Profound and unfathomable" was how Butler Zhao described Zhao Xuan, even though he knew Zhao Xuan was merely a newly initiated cultivator.

Zhao Xuan was unaware that after Zhao the housekeeper returned home, he was talking with a plump middle-aged man in the study.

This well-off middle-aged man was naturally Zhao Xuan's father, named Zhao Xiong.

Zhao Xiong asked, "Did you see Xuan'er today?"

Butler Zhao replied, "Yes, I have."

"How is Xuan'er?"

"His mind was clear and his stillness profound."

"What about that vicious plant?"

"The aura is becoming increasingly dangerous, but the spiritual energy in the entire mansion remains pure, suggesting that the young master and the young master have a good relationship."

"Poor Xuan'er," Zhao Xiong sighed.

"Not necessarily, I think the young master likes it very much," Butler Zhao comforted him.

"Brother, do you think what I did was right or wrong?" Zhao Xiong asked, his eyes slightly red.

"The Zhao family's eternal legacy may lie in the hands of the eldest young master. He is capable of becoming the lord of the forbidden land," Butler Zhao said firmly.

"Well, I hope so."

The room then fell silent.

In fact, neither of them knew that Zhao Xuan had done all of this intentionally.

Zhao Xuan suddenly realized that he had to keep a low profile from the moment he obtained the Wuji version of "Flowers Bloom Instantly".

Therefore, he simply told Zhao Xiong that he had achieved enlightenment, entered the ranks of immortals, and could begin cultivation.

As for the awakened supernatural power, Zhao Xuan told Zhao Xiong that it was an affinity with plants and trees.

It turned out that although Zhao Xuan lived in the manor at the foot of the mountain, Zhao Xiong had also arranged many servants and guards for him.

In order to get rid of these people in a legitimate way, and also to put Zhao Xiong at ease.

Zhao Xuan went into the mountains under the guise of sightseeing and brought back a snake vine.

The Serpent Vine is a highly territorial, carnivorous plant that can prey on prey by feeding on a spiritual fruit called the Serpent Fruit.

Snake fruit can soften the body, which is quite beneficial to martial artists.

Humans can cultivate themselves, wild beasts can become demons, and plants can possess spiritual power.

Originally only a ninth-grade snake vine, Zhao Xuan used the Golden Flower Spirit Transformation technique to infuse it with ten thousand years of life force, directly transforming it into a spiritual object, and its grade reached the third grade.

It was even stronger than Zhao Xiong's use of supernatural powers.

Then Zhao Xuan used the excuse that he had an affinity with plants and trees and was close to the spirit snake vine, so the vine would not attack him, but others would inevitably be in danger. After that, he sent all the servants and guards that Zhao Xiong had arranged back to the mansion.

In addition, the wood spirit energy of the third-grade snake vine was too strong, and the wood spirit turned into wood evil. Being in wood evil for a long time is harmful to people. After that, the snake vine put on a show a few more times, and eventually no one would bother him anymore. Even if something really happened, they would notify him and talk about it outside the courtyard.

Of course, the snake fruit from the third-grade spirit snake vine is even more precious.

Every year, Zhao Xuan would let the snake vines bear some snake fruit and send it to Zhao Xiong.

This is also why Zhao Xuan became a transcendent figure in the Zhao family: firstly, he didn't need the family's protection because of the third-grade snake vine; secondly, the snake fruit was precious; and thirdly, he was self-sufficient and content.

After finishing his meal, Zhao Xuan cleaned up and started fishing, while waiting to broaden his horizons by reading "The Record of My Experiences in the Seven Kingdoms".

This is the story of a first-rank martial artist nearing the end of his lifespan who, after attaining enlightenment, travels through seven kingdoms and experiences.

It records the customs, culture, and landscape of the seven states of Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao, Wei, and Qin.

Kaoshan Village was a remote village in the State of Zhao.

The Records of the Seven Kingdoms consists of eighteen volumes and tens of millions of words. It can even be regarded as a list of masters, wonders, and supernatural powers of the seven kingdoms.

However, its authenticity cannot be guaranteed, as most of the introductions begin with things like "heard of it in a certain place sometime in the past," "legend," or "rumor," but it's excellent for passing the time.

It also describes the conflict between the three major forces—the Immortal Sect, the Academy, and the Forbidden Land—as they send disciples to assist the Imperial Court.

Zhao Xuan's third brother is named Zhao Qing. He studies at the academy, one of the three major powers. Of course, although it is called one of the three major powers, it is not that powerful. Otherwise, it would be better to replace the imperial court directly instead of assisting it.

The three major forces are actually an alliance of three major forces.

The founders of immortal sects are usually those who failed to seize the throne. Unable to obtain power, they pursue immortality.

The founders of academies were usually from prominent families who recruited talented individuals to enhance their power.

The creators of forbidden areas were usually wanted criminals from seven kingdoms, who fled into the mountains and forests and defended their strongholds.

However, the Imperial Court controls 90% of the world's resources. To cultivate, one must have resources. Therefore, these people have no choice but to send their disciples to join the Imperial Court's forces to earn resources and support their cultivation.

Therefore, the most powerful force in the world is the imperial court.

As dusk fell, still no fish left in the air. He cursed the greedy fellow and packed up his gear. The rocking chair he was sitting in swayed, disintegrating into vines that disappeared into the ground.

Only one branch remained, resembling a puppy, gently nuzzling Zhao Xuan's cheek with its leaves, as if it were being affectionate.

A golden flower appeared in Zhao Xuan's hand, which he then cast into the vines. The vines danced merrily for a moment before disappearing underground.

Zhao Xuan's estate covers a full fifty acres, with ten acres cultivated into spiritual fields, ten acres of orchards, a courtyard of three to five acres, and the rest being an artificial lake.

Such a large artificial lake naturally has no shortage of fish. However, after the snake vines became sentient, they liked to play around and often extended their vines into the artificial lake to chase fish and shrimp, and tease turtles and crabs. This made the fish, shrimp, turtles and crabs very alert, and they would scatter and flee at the slightest movement.

Zhao Xuan raised the snake vine like a mischievous pet, letting it do as it pleased.

Time flies like water, and three days passed in the blink of an eye. Soon it was the seventeenth, the day Zhao Qing was to host a dinner party.

Zhao Xuan had the snake vine split into a clone, which wrapped around his wrist like a jade bracelet, and then left the manor carrying a green bamboo staff.

This is Zhao Xuan's weapon configuration.

Although the Wuji version of the Flower Blooming Moment is powerful, it is not something that someone at his level can use at will.

Supernatural powers are also divided into different levels.

The highest level of minor supernatural powers is nine, the highest level of major supernatural powers is eighteen, and the highest level of immeasurable supernatural powers is twenty-seven.

The main theme of the Wuji version of "Flowers Bloom in an Instant" is the Great Divine Power "Flowers Bloom in an Instant", so it is also divided into eighteen layers, but its application is more extensive than that of the Great Divine Power version.

It has the potential to break through the 18-layer limit in the future.

Zhao Xuan only mastered the first level, and its use was subject to many limitations.

For example, drawing upon spiritual energy, the vitality of plants is the simplest form of spiritual energy. Zhao Xuan can only draw upon the vitality of plants, and the spiritual energy of plants cannot be too great.

For example, one cannot activate a supernatural power out of thin air; there must be some contact involved, and the upgrade of the attraction cannot exceed Zhao Xuan's own vitality.

Ordinary people begin to age after the age of sixty (60 years), meaning that the lifespan of an ordinary person is sixty years.

Each level of cultivation increases a practitioner's lifespan by sixty years.

Zhao Xuan's lifespan as a ninth-rank practitioner is only one hundred and twenty years.

Therefore, the lifespan of each traction should not exceed 120 years.

But supernatural powers are supernatural powers after all, and Zhao Xuan could instantly unleash the life force he had drawn upon over 120 years.

Thus, the "Awakening of Insects Staff Method" came into being.
