Chapter 111 Asking Immortals for Techniques
Holding the immortal book in his hands, Gu Dan couldn't even describe what he was feeling.
It's funny to say that Emperor Zong Ming had been seeking immortality for more than twenty years, and finally a chance to become an immortal came to him. But before he could even feel happy, the alchemist ran away.
That’s not all. Immediately, the coalition forces of four countries heard the news and arrived, annihilated Dayue’s 100,000 troops and entered the country.
The Wanshou Palace was built with great difficulty after much effort, but on the day of his 60th birthday, he died in front of the palace before he could even move in and enjoy it!
Before he died, he thought that the magic he mastered was so amazing, but he couldn't even leave his body intact!
He really worked hard for half his life, committed many sins, but didn't get to enjoy half a good fruit! If there is really a netherworld, I don't know what Emperor Zong Ming would think? In contrast, he has been living peacefully in the small courtyard. Even when he saw the immortal fate descending at night, he never left. Until now, he has never even set foot in the imperial capital. Instead, he got a share of the immortal fate and immortal book!
Extreme movement and extreme stillness, one gain and one loss, it is worth pondering.
Gu Dan's thoughts were seen by Master Ji, who said jokingly, "Why? You don't dare to read the Immortal Scripture when you have it in your hand?"
"Ha. Even Emperor Zong Ming can master a set of immortal techniques. How difficult can it be to cultivate immortality?" Gu Dan raised his eyebrows and said proudly.
Without any hesitation, he opened "Asking the Immortals"! [Someone asked: "How can mortals cultivate immortality?"]
[The Immortal replied: "Gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and gather it into your body."]
[People asked: "Is there a shortcut?"]
[The Immortal replied: “Immortal plants, natural medicines, exotic fruits and flowers, and magical pills can all be passed into the stomach.”]
[People asked: "What magic does the immortal have?"]
[The Immortal replied: "The Immortal has hundreds of skills, but the most important are elixir, formation, talisman, and weapon."]
[People ask:]
【Xian answers:】
A book called "Asking the Immortals about Their Techniques" was simply a collection of questions from humans and answers from the immortals.
It has neither the difficult and convoluted aspects that people would imagine, nor the mysterious and profound aspects that make people imagine in vernacular novels. It is simply straightforward and clear to the extreme.
Rather than a simple immortal classic, it is better to call it "A rough introduction to the immortal way"! The first half of the book is questions from people and answers from immortals, while the second half is a more detailed explanation.
For example, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and gathering it into the body. The detailed explanation below will call it the Qi training period.
In addition to the common sense needed for cultivating immortals, this book also left a method of cultivation, two pill recipes, and three talisman techniques.
As for the formations and refining techniques, they were not recorded. It may be because this book is too small to contain them all.
As time passed slowly, Gu Dan read the entire book "Asking the Immortal for His Art" almost word for word, and engraved everything in his mind.
When he raised his head again, Master Ji was looking at him with a smile and asked, "How do you feel?"
Gu Dan sorted out his words and said carefully: "Well, I learned some knowledge that I can't use now."
Yes, this immortal book is very good.
The only drawback is that it is not useful! For example, the two prescriptions left in the book, Gu Dan has been a doctor for so many years, and even worked in the Imperial Hospital, but there are still six or seven kinds of medicinal materials that he has never heard of! There are also some that he has heard of, but they only exist in medical books from a very long time ago. Not to mention him, even if all the imperial doctors in the Imperial Hospital were brought here, they may not have seen them.
It might be extinct! As for the talisman, it is not that difficult. You can practice it with spiritual energy and materials.
The materials are not completely impossible to find. For example, the [Flowing Cloud Chasing Moon Silk] used by the Great Yue Royal Family to highlight their noble status is a material that can be used to make talismans. The problem is, what about the spiritual energy? !
You can't just expect this thing to fall from the sky, right? Apart from anything else, what if it falls on your head? "This is a very insightful summary."
Old Ji looked at Gu Dan with a smile, that smile was as cunning as a rat that stole some meat, "Emperor Zong Ming spent several spiritual stones to practice the 'Golden Dragon Cover' once, but he only blocked three punches from Mo Qiu. You want to cultivate immortality? Now is not the time yet!"
Gu Dan was speechless for a moment.
Xiandao is indeed very powerful. Judging from his progress after absorbing the spirit stone, it is no exaggeration to say that his improvement speed far surpasses that of martial arts.
The problem is, to cultivate immortality one needs spiritual energy. Without spiritual energy, the path to immortality can only be shelved! Even if one obtains immortal techniques, doesn't one still need spiritual energy to perform them?
Now he was like standing in a desert, his legs unable to move, but he got a map of an oasis.
The oasis map told him that as long as he did this and that, he would have an inexhaustible supply of water.
The problem is, there’s no way I can get through! “Hahahaha!”
Old Ji looked at Gu Dan's frustrated expression and laughed out loud.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Apparently, he had also studied the book "Asking the Immortals"! The final conclusion was: If you want to cultivate the way of immortality, without spiritual energy, it is useless!
The meteorite that fell on the big moon was given to one person, and even if he cultivated to the end, he might not be much stronger than a martial arts master.
As human beings, we can't help but feel curious and yearning when faced with legendary things.
The usual reaction is: You are right, but I want to try! Only when you really hit the wall, you will really understand that even if there is a pie in the sky in this world, it can only fill your stomach!
Unless one abandons everything and directly chases after that large group of meteorites that have fallen to an unknown place, and those meteorites must all be spiritual stones, there will be a chance to truly restore the power of the immortals.
Unfortunately, this world is so huge that even a martial arts master would not be able to travel all over it in his lifetime.
What if those meteorites fell into the endless sea, wouldn't there be no trace left for eternity?
Even if your good luck falls on land, it is destined that people who are close to the water will get it first. By the time you spend a hundred or eighty years running over there, there may not be even a trace left!
It was because they understood all this that Master Ji and Prince Yu did not take this immortal book seriously.
It may have been priceless in the past, but times have changed.
A good cook cannot cook without rice!
Apart from making people fascinated, it can only add some knowledge at most, leaving only regrets.
"Now you understand why I'm not afraid of you running away?"
Elder Ji was more or less gloating, and said with regret and relief: "The path to immortality is long and elusive. It is extremely difficult for us mortals to even reach the realm above the Grandmaster level, so how dare we hope for a broken road that is even farther away? Even if we hold a torch, we can only sigh in vain!
You can take this immortal book back with you, you are still young. In the future, marry eighty or ninety concubines, sow more seeds, and pass this book on. Who knows how many generations later, one of your descendants may come across the immortal way, and he may even burn it in front of your grave for you to listen to! "
