Chapter 155: The Immortal Cultivation Genius Abandoned by the Times
The first thing Lu Qing took out was the essays of Xiaoyao Sanren.
Lu Qing gained a lot from this tour around the city.
The biggest gain among them is this essay and the Qiankun Yiqi Bag.
According to the information discovered by the supernatural power, the essay records some things about the era of cultivating immortals.
Lu Qing is still very curious about that mysterious era.
So he planned to figure out the book first.
After checking the book first, Lu Qing discovered that the material of the book was also unusual. The paper was particularly tough and it looked like it could be preserved for a very long time without being damaged.

Looking at the prompt in his field of vision, Lu Qing chose yes.

Lu Qing continued to choose to study.
The next moment, familiar information emerged from the depths of his mind, and he gently closed his eyes.
After a while, when he had digested the information in his mind, he opened his eyes with a hint of sigh in his eyes.
"This Xiaoyao Sanren is really a tragic person."
After receiving the information in the essay, Lu Qing finally learned some of the deeds of this free and easy wanderer.
Xiaoyao Sanren was actually an immortal cultivator who lived more than a thousand years ago.
To be more precise, he is a poor man who is pursuing the path of immortality.
Xiaoyao Sanren was originally a scholar. When he was young, he obtained a cultivation tradition by chance in a strange cave.
Coincidentally, his aptitude was also extremely good, which was very suitable for that inheritance.
Just like that, relying on the inheritance obtained in the strange cave and some resources, he was able to teach himself without any guidance, break through the barriers, enter the Qi Refining Realm, and become a true immortal cultivator.
Later, he relied on the resources in the cave to break through all the barriers. In just a dozen years, he achieved perfection in Qi Refining.
According to what Xiaoyao Sanren said in his essay, with his progress, even in that brilliant era of cultivating immortals, he could be considered an absolute genius, the kind that all major immortal cultivation sects would compete to accept as their disciple.
Unfortunately, he was born in the wrong era. He was born in an era when spiritual energy was scarce, the way of cultivating immortals was extinct, and martial arts were prevalent.
Therefore, even if one has extraordinary talent in cultivating immortals, there is no immortal sect to join.
This made Xiaoyao Sanren lament more than once in his essays that he was born at the wrong time.
What made him even more desperate was that due to the lack of spiritual energy, his cultivation began to stagnate and made no further progress after reaching perfection in Qi Refining.
No matter how he practiced, he could not make a breakthrough and enter the foundation-building stage where Qi refining was perfect and his body was flawless.
In order to seek a breakthrough, Xiaoyao Sanren began to travel around the world.
Visit various famous mountains and rivers, and strange places, hoping to find a chance for a breakthrough.
Having achieved perfection in Qi Refining, his cultivation level is equivalent to that of a warrior who has reached perfection in the Innate Realm. He is even much stronger because of the magical nature of the way of cultivating immortals.
So traveling around the world was not difficult for him.
However, Xiaoyao Sanren spent decades searching for the locations of those former immortal cultivation sects as recorded in the inheritance he had received.
However, they found that those once blessed places and immortal caves had long disappeared without a trace.
Occasionally, all that is left are broken walls and a desolate scene.
At this point, Xiaoyao San finally realized that the era of cultivating immortals had truly passed.
But he did not gain nothing.
While visiting the old site of a sect called Tiandao Sect, which was recorded in the heritage, he saw a jade wall.
There is a secret story recorded on the jade wall.
The general meaning is that the decline of spiritual energy is the result of the self-regulation of the Way of Heaven, just like human breathing, which increases and decreases.
The rise and fall of spiritual energy has a cycle of about 60,000 years.
It takes 30,000 years for it to decline and dry up, and 30,000 years for it to revive and prosper, and the cycle repeats itself over and over again.
After seeing this secret, Xiaoyao Sanren's heart sank.
According to the records on the jade disk, he calculated that he was at the end of the decline of his spiritual energy at that time, and it would take at least a thousand years before the next revival of his spiritual energy.
After knowing this, Xiaoyao Sanren began to despair.
He has perfected his Qi training, which is equivalent to a warrior's innate perfection, and his lifespan is only three hundred years.
Even if he has a miraculous way of cultivating immortals and a secret method, he can only live for 500 years at best.
It is impossible to wait until the spiritual energy truly recovers.
In other words, even if he is extremely gifted and has an amazing talent for cultivating immortals, he cannot wait until the day when spiritual energy revives to shine.
At the end of the essay, Lu Qing saw that after knowing the secret on the jade disk, Xiaoyao Sanren did not give up completely.
Throughout his entire life, he struggled against the laws of nature, attempting to reach a higher realm through his own talent and hard work.
In the following hundreds of years, he made many attempts, searching for various secret places, absorbing residual spiritual energy, practicing martial arts, and even studying the sensational art of insect witches.
But all attempts ultimately ended in failure.
Until the time of his death, he had not been able to break through to perfection in Qi Refining and enter the higher level of Foundation Establishment.
After reading the life of Xiaoyao Sanren recorded in the essay, Lu Qing remained silent for a long time.
This was the second time he was shocked by a person's life.
The first one is Li Weitian, and the second one is Xiaoyao Sanren.
But compared to Li Weitian, Xiaoyao Sanren's life seems more tragic.
It can be said that Li Weitian's fate was his own fault.
If he had not wasted too much time in the first half of his life competing with others, he would not have been forced to make a hasty breakthrough and eventually pass away due to insufficient accumulation.
But Xiaoyao Sanren was different. He spent his entire life pursuing the path to immortality, practicing diligently and never slacking off.
But fate played a huge joke on him and made him born in the wrong era.
Although he possessed excellent aptitude for cultivating immortals, he was trapped in the realm of perfect Qi refining for his entire life due to a lack of spiritual energy, and eventually died of old age.
"A tragic genius abandoned by the era of immortal cultivation."
Lu Qing felt deeply saddened and lamented for what happened to Xiaoyao Sanren.
In an era when spiritual energy is scarce, people can practice on their own to perfection in refining qi without anyone's guidance.
If Xiaoyao Sanren was born in that heyday of cultivating immortals, it is hard to imagine that his achievements could reach that level.
Unfortunately, there are no ifs in this world.
Being born in the wrong era doomed the free and easy wanderer to tragedy.
After lamenting the life of Xiaoyao Sanren for a while, Lu Qing also focused his attention on another thing.
According to what Xiaoyao Sanren wrote in his essays, in his time, there was still at least a thousand years before the time of spiritual energy recovery calculated by Tiandao Sect.
Now, nearly a thousand years have passed since Xiaoyao Sanren passed away.
According to this calculation, wouldn't the period of spiritual energy revival be the era in which he is now living?
But he didn't notice any major changes in the world.
wrong!
Lu Qing suddenly remembered something and his heart was shaken.
