This is how immortals are cultivated

Fang Suichu was holding a whole beef leg and gnawing on it while complaining.

"Don't they say there's no friendship without fighting? Logically, the next step should be to invite me to their place as a guest."

The three spiritual secretaries breathed a sigh of relief when they learned that Fang Suichu was hired by Miss Jin to return to the provincial capital. They withdrew after knowing that Fang Suichu would not stay in Quyang for long.

The two women were already familiar with Fang Suichu's nonsense.

Wu Yuanshuo obediently used the knife and chopsticks to put the dishes on Fang Suichu's plate, but Li Qingming couldn't help but continue to complain about what Fang Suichu said.

"I wanted them to invite you as their guest, but those three spiritual secrets were avoiding you."

"Besides, if I really invite you to be my guest, I'm afraid I'll be inviting a wolf into the house."

Fang Suichu had a unique hostility towards those who practiced guild cultivation, and Li Qingming could sense it. If he didn't provoke Fang Suichu, Fang Suichu would still be able to endure it, but if he did, Fang Suichu would definitely go for it.

Of course, Fang Suichu's mentality was understandable to both women. After all, the three of them had a painful and unforgettable experience before. Chapter 46 Anxiety

The experience of being thrown into the ghost city is something that ordinary people will never forget.

They didn't even have the right to forget. Almost 99% of the mortals who were used as blood tax would die a miserable death. And it was extremely rare for those who escaped with their lives like these three did.

Those who cultivate ghosts are no longer human beings, at least that is what people who have been to the ghost market think.

The three spiritual secret realms came quickly because of the existence that threatened Quyang City. It seemed that they were protecting the city, but in fact, they were the owners of the sheepfold protecting their property.

However, when it comes to spiritual secrets, he is considered an absolute backbone among the practitioners of the art of magic, and in the eyes of mortals he is almost equivalent to a ghost or god, able to arbitrarily dominate the life and death of ordinary people.

Even in the Ghost Market, Ling Mi was considered a rare figure. He was someone the three of them had only looked up to.

but now...

Indeed, ever since being bought by the Taoist priests of Changyin Temple, the three people's life trajectories have changed dramatically. Before, they were struggling for life and death. But now, Lingmi is ready to greet them with a smile.

Li Qingming even often wondered if he had fallen into a long fantasy dream because he was near death.

If that's the case...there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with it.

She had been troubled by a nightmare before, and being able to end it with a beautiful dream before her death should be considered a good ending.

Li Qingming stared blankly at Fang Suichu who was eating heartily and Wu Yuanshuo, whose complexion became much rosier and plumper and whose personality gradually became lively and cheerful after coming out of Chang Yinshan. He was a little dazed for a moment.

Until the chopsticks picked up the ribs and put them into her bowl.

"Sister Qingming, you should eat too, otherwise my brother will eat it all."

It was Wu Yuanshuo who was picking up food for her. It seemed that she saw Li Qingming was distracted, and there was concern in the girl's eyes.

Li Qingming finally came to her senses. She first put the ribs in the bowl back into Wu Yuanshuo's bowl, then leaned over to grab the food on Fang Suichu's plate.

"Xiao Shuo, you should eat more too."

"Li Qingming, you're going too far. Xiao Shuo picked this for me."

"I care so much about you."

Facing Fang Suichu's unhappy expression, Li Qingming glared back, snatched a piece of lamb chop, and when he sat back in his seat, he couldn't help but smile.

The taste of the dishes is delicious.

Everything is fine...it's not a dream.

After eating some, Fang Suichu stopped and started to pick up some food for Wu Yuanshuo. As for Li Qingming, he let her cross the table to grab the food.

For Fang Suichu, the efficiency of transforming Qi was actually higher by absorbing the Qi through the acupoints. Eating was simply a process of satisfying the desire for food.

Li Qingming and Wu Yuanshuo had also reached a certain level at this time, and they needed to eat a lot of meat to replenish their own essence and replenish their foundation.

"On New Year's Eve, speaking of which, it seems that this trip to the provincial capital will have some twists and turns."

Li Qingming slowed down his eating, wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, and spoke.

Accepting Jin Bailu's commission and simply escorting him to the provincial capital was actually fine. Although there were twists and turns along the way, fortunately, they were all resolved one by one by Fang Suichu.

Moreover, going to the provincial capital was indeed convenient for them, so it was easy.

However, the incident outside Quyang City just now showed that there was clearly a problem on Jin Bailu's side.

In the worst case scenario, the backer that Jin Bailu is looking for might fall.

If Jin Bailu has no other resources and cannot find new spiritual secrets to support him, even if he successfully returns to the Jin family's main home in the provincial capital, it will be basically impossible for him to compete for the position of head of the family.

But Jin Bailu does have another opportunity right now, an opportunity that came by accident but does exist.

"Ok, I know."

Fang Suichu nodded:

"It's a very old-fashioned quest chain model. The escort mission is just the precursor to the quest, and there are subsequent quest chains afterwards. The entire quest is supposed to be about helping Jin Bailu win the position of Patriarch."

"But I was a little careless. If we really enter the next stage of the mission, the monster subjugation level will be too stressful for the two of you."

In this world, it's practically impossible for ordinary people to live a stable life. Especially if they want to live well and have a future they can control, they absolutely need 'strength'.

In fact, before leaving Changyin Mountain, the three of them discussed their future path. No matter what choices the two women made, Fang Suichu would find ways to pass on the immortal path he had realized to the two women so that they could gain strength.

But just as a gun appears in a movie, that gun will eventually be used. Having power also means that power will definitely be used, and using power means trouble.

Therefore, trouble is inevitable no matter what.

Furthermore, Fang Suichu had already stated the general outline before teaching the two female immortals.

It's nothing more than the saying "follow the rules and you become ordinary, go against the rules and you become immortal".

The way of immortality originated from Taoism, so there is a saying that the way of immortality values ​​life and purity and nature.

If this world were truly an orthodox immortal world, Fang Suichu would have believed it. However, this world was a world plagued by strange curses, so he could only cultivate immortality according to the law of the jungle.

When they encountered trouble along the way, Fang Suichu had no intention of causing trouble for the two women. If the trouble was big enough, Fang Suichu would even let the two women take action to hone their skills until they could truly stand on their own.

However, this mission is obviously beyond the level of the two women, so there is no need to think about any training. Being able to gain experience is considered a success.

“Qingming, if you and Xiao Shuo have any concerns, we will leave immediately after escorting Jin Bailu back to the provincial capital and return directly to my hometown as originally planned.”

"You misunderstood me." Li Qingming shook his head.

"I don't have any doubts or anything. On the contrary, I'm a little worried that I might hold you back."

Li Qingming had made some progress in his cultivation, and could even feel himself making progress in some areas every day. However, when it came to catching up with Fang Suichu, even to the level he had reached just after leaving Changyin Mountain, Li Qingming was frustrated to find that he couldn't do it.

The journey has not been peaceful. Now he is involved in an incident related to the evil way and is unable to provide any help, which really makes Li Qingming feel a little frustrated.

She could express this anxiety directly, and her companion, Wu Yuanshuo, must have had the same anxiety.

Li Qingming and Wu Yuanshuo live together on weekdays, and she knows how hard Wu Yuanshuo works in his practice.

However, this girl is gentle on the outside but strong on the inside. She keeps many things in her heart and doesn't want to cause trouble to others.

"That's okay. I'll also give you two cheats when the time comes. This is called 'cheating first and then motivating others to cheat later.'" Fang Suichu said.

Since we are following the law of the jungle to cultivate immortality, we have to experience the process of taking elixirs.

There just happened to be a record of alchemy in the Taiyin Form Training Method. All he had to do next was to find a way to make an alchemy furnace, and then he could try to develop the alchemy path among the hundred arts of cultivating immortals.

Chapter 47: Response

In fact, Fang Suichu wanted to master not only the art of alchemy, but also the art of formations and talismans.

However, the orthodox immortal path in this world is still blank so far. While cultivating useful talents, it all depends on him to expand the path of immortality.

There are so many things to do, and if you want to accomplish what you want, a lot of resources are indispensable. As a result, Fang Suichu now wants to find a piece of his own land to settle down and develop.

However, Fang Suichu also understood the principle that haste makes waste. Although the path of cultivation requires courage and diligence, it also requires taking one step at a time and laying a solid foundation.

While the three of them were communicating, Jin Bailu also arrived late.

After entering Quyang City, Jin Bailu went back to the local Jin family's business to find out what the current situation of the Jin family in the provincial capital was.

Quyang City is a big city and is closer to Tongcheng Prefecture, so it will receive more news.

Of course, the most important thing is to find out what happened to her backer, Taoist Xiyu from Lingmi Realm.

When Jin Bailu walked into the restaurant's private room, his face was pale and he looked a little dazed. It was obvious that the news he received was not good news.

"It seems that the spiritual secret you invited is not in good condition?"

Fang Suichu spoke.

"Yes."

Jin Bailu took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

"I can't contact Uncle Xiyu... Uncle Xiyu never breaks his promise. I'm afraid he didn't come to Quyang City..."

Fang Suichu nodded: "It seems that the situation over there is more serious than you thought."

"Not to mention that the spiritual secret you invited seems to have been sniped, and it is currently unknown whether he is alive or dead."

"Just to stop you from returning, they invited a spiritual master. The resources and power of the person behind this seem to be very deep..."

"Furthermore, things are full of strangeness. Logically speaking, with such resources and power, it should be easy for someone to compete for the position of head of your Jin family. They can compete openly and honestly, so why would they block your path?"

"This is exactly what Bailu can't figure out." Jin Bailu said with a wry smile.

Being able to summon the spiritual secret just by blocking one competitor shows that the opponent has plenty of spare energy and even has the ability to summon multiple spiritual secrets.

In this way, he could win the position of the head of the family in a fair and just manner. Why would he bother to create such trouble?

"So, what are you going to do next?"

"The situation is full of strangeness. Your family's situation has added a bit of danger. If it really doesn't work out, why don't you just stay in Quyang City and wait until the situation in the provincial capital becomes clear before returning?"

While competition among the great families was fierce, it wasn't to the point where once one person ascended to power, all competitors would be annihilated. The Jin family was merely a powerful clan in a single state, not royalty. A truly radical, root-and-branch competition would only waste the family's power.

For Jin Bailu, the most cowardly way is to give up his qualification to compete directly and just wait and see what is going on in Quyang City.

"No, even so, I still have to go back."

Jin Bailu shook his head with a very firm attitude. It was obvious that he had made up his mind long ago, even though the whereabouts of the spiritual secret he invited was unknown and he could not provide any help.

The Jin family is not an ordinary family. Since it involves a dispute over the level of cultivation, this aspect must occupy a large part of the struggle process.

To put it simply, if you can't invite someone powerful enough, you can basically choose to withdraw from the competition for the position of head of the family.

"The position of head of the family is not important, but as a child, I must fulfill my filial duty. Moreover, I still don't know how my father died this time. No matter what, I must find out the truth."

"Mr. Fang, please continue to send me to the state capital."

"Well, of course, as long as you have that idea. I'm also a stickler for what I say, so I do have some credibility."

After hearing Fang Suichu say this, Jin Bailu did not respond for a moment. She gritted her teeth and bowed deeply to Fang Suichu after a moment.

"Bai Lu has another unwelcome request."

"I would like you to stand up for me."

After saying this, Jin Bailu himself knew that his request was a bit excessive.

The meeting between the two parties was purely coincidental and there was no affection involved.

Fang Suichu's agreement to escort Jin Bailu was equivalent to doing a favor. It would be a bit unreasonable to make further demands at this time.

However, Jin Bailu had considered this kind of "pressing on".

She has gotten to know Mr. Fang's temperament and character better during this period.

One of the biggest characteristics is that he is not afraid of anything.

Although we don't know his origin or past experience, he is really good when encountering problems.

The spiritual secret blocking the road was killed directly, which actually exceeded the scope of escort. The three spiritual secrets from Quyang City had the intention of forcing them, but were also pushed back by the other party.

Jin Bailu admitted that she had misjudged him. When they encountered the mountain monster in the wild, Fang Suichu took action. She thought Fang Suichu was just a spiritual master, but now it seems that he was hiding his methods. His strength is probably considered very senior among the spiritual secrets.

It was precisely because the other party was not afraid of trouble and was very confident in his own strength that Jin Bailu dared to tentatively ask Fang Suichu whether he was willing to intervene in this obviously troublesome matter.

However, Jin Bailu was anxiously waiting for Fang Suichu's answer, and even started thinking about what would happen after Fang Suichu rejected her request, but she got a very straightforward answer.

"No problem, your mission is quite interesting. Maybe I'll have some interesting adventures."

"Of course, the premise is that you have to pay enough."

"Of course." Jin Bailu nodded quickly.

She gave the names of two kinds of elixirs.

Fang Suichu still had not heard of it, but he caught the thoughts and emotions emanating from Jin Bailu. When thinking about the reward, Jin Bailu was also very serious.
