Chapter 3 Heavenly Selection of Immortals

This body is really strong.

It was so hard that Lin Du was nearly stabbed to death by his own bones.

She lay on the ground, feeling that breathing was becoming increasingly difficult, but a pill appeared in the palm of her hand.

It is a reward from the system.

"Are you okay?" Du Shao was startled and hurried to help her, but saw the fallen child sitting down on the ground, and his two thin long legs changed to the posture of an old man sitting on the ridge of a field, the only thing missing was a cigarette in his hand to knock off the ashes.

The movements were so smooth and flowing that both of them were stunned.

Where you fall, there you lie down.

"I'm fine, don't worry about me, sister, I'll be fine."

As Lin Du spoke, he stuffed the pill into his mouth and held it for a while, but it didn't dissolve.

I chewed it again, but couldn't bite it.

She was silent for a moment, then she swallowed it with her neck stiff, choking and almost rolling her eyes.

Why do the monks in the book eat pills and then they disappear directly into their mouths? Don't you people in the cultivation world take pills with water? Is it true that no one choked to death after eating pills?

Lin Du doubted his life three times.

[…I’m sorry, host, I forgot that you are a mortal. ]

Lin Du didn't show it on his face, but he asked in his heart, "Excuse me, but are the throats of you cultivators made of iron?"

[The monks have high physical strength, but it’s mainly because you are too weak. 】

Lin Du smiled and was about to say something when he felt a faint warmth spreading in his stomach, and then a cool air climbed up to his lungs. The previously extremely labored breathing suddenly became easier, and the lingering feeling of hypoxia and fatigue slowly recovered.

She relaxed and closed her eyes, feeling the path of the medicine dissolving in her body, from her stomach to her lungs, and slowly dissipating along her veins.

This feeling of openness is something this body has never experienced before.

She took a deep breath and sighed with comfort.

Du Shao was standing aside, and originally wanted to help the person up, but she found that the person was sitting there with a golden sword and a mighty horse, and there was a faint breeze gathering on her.

"Don't touch her." A voice came from the sky, "Stay away, don't disturb her absorbing spiritual energy."

Du Shao was startled, and suddenly realized something.

Absorbing spiritual energy? But Lin Du was clearly a mortal before...

The people coming from the bottom of the mountain also looked at the person sitting unruly on the stone steps.

Lin Du just felt comfortable, and subconsciously followed the direction of the drug's power to trace a path in his mind, with a spring breeze surrounding his body.

The breeze is so lingering and intoxicating that one can't help but want to absorb more.

The body is light and the mind is relaxed, the spirit is calm and the breath is at ease, which is extremely comfortable.

Lin Du couldn't help wanting to blend himself into the spring breeze.

The green mountains are shrouded in mist, and all things in the forest begin to grow. The grass sprouts, the peach blossoms begin to bloom, the hummingbirds chirp happily, the animals walk briskly, the veins on the green leaves are distinct, and the fine hairs are clearly visible.

etc……

Lin Du suddenly realized something. Why could he see the scene in the forest even with his eyes closed?

[My dear, after your lungs and intestines were unblocked, you were able to sense the flow of your pulses. In addition, you were gifted with a full value of ice spiritual roots, so you automatically learned to absorb spiritual energy and practice Qi. You have already reached the early stage of the Phoenix First Realm.]

[As expected of a master selected by heaven]

Lin Du was quite calm. Oh, he was practicing Qi.

My chest is no longer stuffy and my breathing is steady, which is great.

Just... I feel a little nauseous.

Lin Du frowned and suddenly spat out a mouthful of red and black blood.

"System, you are selling fake medicine!"

[I don't! That's your body eliminating the blood clots from an old illness! ]

Lin Du felt himself and found that his body was still comfortable and he had no discomfort.

She slowly raised her eyes and found a circle of people surrounding her.

Everyone saw the pale and delicate little man spit out a mouthful of old blood and then open his eyes. He then raised his arm and casually wiped his lips stained with a little blood, then let his arm fall down on his knees. With his other hand, the slender fingers casually stroked his long hair, and he tilted his head to glance at them.

"Stop looking at it. Look at the fee. It's ten yuan per person."

After all, this body is completely useless, because in the script it is a marginal character, brilliant but died young. Lin Du himself doesn't know how the original body lived for the past ten years.

She was just joking, and was about to sit up when suddenly a bag of spirit stones flew over from somewhere, followed by a teasing laugh.

"Ten spirit stones are too little. A mortal can enter the Dao just by climbing a mountain. It only took you a quarter of an hour to enter the Phoenix Initial Stage. You are the first one in thousands of years. You are worth at least a thousand gold coins."

The voice was arrogant and timeless, with a tingling feeling that made people numb. Lin Du commented that with such a good voice, he could have 100 online romances. Even his second uncle had an online romance partner on WeChat.

Everyone thought that Lin Du would be ashamed of such a high-handed charity after watching the excitement, but she opened the storage bag, scanned it, and then smiled, stood up and patted the dust off her green robe, "Thank you."

One thousand spirit stones, a windfall.

Her casual and uninhibited manner made the owner of the voice laugh.

"Good nature."

Lin Du glanced at Du Shao and stretched out his hand, "Sister, let's go up the mountain."

Du Shao finally reacted, said "oh", and obediently held her hand, completely forgetting that her fiancé was beside her.

After entering the Tao, her body was indeed different from her previous mortal body. Lin Du walked very fast and steadily, and she felt light and healthy. If she ignored the pain in her heart, she was now as happy as a god.

The originally lifeless and gloomy boy now had more vitality that was only seen at that age.

She walked briskly, her skin was still pale, but her expression was much more lively. The expression that should have been a little nonchalant and unruly on her face seemed pure and clean, making her look otherworldly.

"Wei Zhi, she has entered the Tao."

There was a warning in the cloud.

That arrogant voice sounded again, "Enter the Tao? Isn't Buddhism the Tao? I see that she is so clear-headed and carefree, it's good for her to practice Buddhism."

"Evil monk, there is no room for your golden body in the Buddhist temple, so you come to my Zhongzhou sect election to make trouble?"

Another chuckle, "Interesting, really interesting, evil monk? You people in Zhongzhou all call me that?"

"This child is from Zhongzhou. My Wushang Sect can afford to raise her."

"This child looks like she was born with a defect. I'm afraid she has a hidden disease. Come to our Jesejong and we can save her."

"I think I can do it too..." A voice suddenly interrupted.

"No, you can't." Three voices spoke at the same time.

Lin Du had no idea at this moment that several "immortals" in the clouds were already fighting over a little kid like her.

Because she was not so weak, the green mountain did not seem as high as before, and they reached the top of the mountain in just two quarters of an hour.

As we stepped onto the last stone step, the surrounding clouds seemed to automatically bypass the peak, and all we saw was the bright sunshine.

The warm spring sun shone brightly on the huge Bagua-shaped square. Many sect plaques were placed on the eight high platforms. Tables were lined up, and elders from various sects sat behind the tables with smiles on their faces.

It was not the Taoist fairy-like figure dressed in white as Lin Du had imagined. Instead, it was like a room full of beautiful gemstones and brocade. It was glittering and colorful even from a distance. It was nothing more than a goddess or fairy.

The square was bustling with activity, as nearly a hundred candidates were waiting there, some with friends and some alone. However, the square was not all white and white, but had silks and satins, jewels and gems.

She subconsciously glanced at Du Shao beside her and found that the bun on her head was also complicated and gorgeous, with pink gems adorning her hairpins. Her red lips were slightly pursed, her cheeks were rosy, and her bright almond eyes seemed to contain only joy but no surprise.

Lin Du suppressed his surprise. It turned out that the makeup used in contemporary fairy tales was really harmful.

She is now almost like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden.

Du Shao also noticed the gazes of the people around her looking her up and down, and then she remembered the green robe that was obviously ill-fitting for the child, and even the hair tied up with just a piece of peach branch, and she felt even more pity for him.

"Don't be afraid, my boy. Zhongzhou is a vast land with abundant resources and many rich people. In fact, today, in addition to the children of aristocratic families, there are also ordinary rural children. A hero does not care about his origin."

…

Lin Du was silent for a moment. Apart from the 1986 version of Journey to the West, no one had told her that gods had to dress elegantly.

The system showed up immediately and gave this newbie in cultivation some scientific knowledge.

[Is it possible? I mean, is it possible? After all, the cultivation world has spiritual power, and its productivity is dozens of times that of the mortal world? So silk and satin are not something that is worth a lot, and what is expensive is the robe engraved with the formation! ]

Lin Du said, "That's reasonable. Very reasonable."
