The moonlight flooded into the Fragrant Cloud Peak of the Spirit Stream Sect, spreading out some of the fog that covered it, and causing the entire scene to be extremely beautiful.
About halfway up the east side of the mountain, at the end of a side street, was the courtyard residence. The courtyard itself was as vast as a garden, and was filled with the delicate fragrance of flowers and plants. The house itself is a wooden hut, complete with tables and beds inside, all of which are made of some sort of magenta-colored wood that gives off a beautiful fragrant aroma. This place was far superior to anything in the servant district.
The field in the yard has been cleaned, and is ready to be planted. There's even a well in one corner. Bai Xiaochun looked around at the moonlit scene, and his eyes twinkled with satisfaction.
"Outside Disciples were official disciples of the Spirit Stream Sect, so naturally they obtained much better compensation than the servants. This residence is really not bad at all. Although, I remember Eldest Brother saying that the disciples of the Inner Sect could live in immortal caves. " Bai Xiaochun looked up to the top of Fragrant Cloud Peak.
Only the disciples of the Inner Sect were qualified to live at the top of the mountain.
After a while, he returned to the log cabin, where he lay lazily and then took out his bag. After patting him carefully, a bottle of medicinal pills appeared in front of him, as well as a bar of green incense.
"Wow, this thing is amazing," he thought, rubbing his bag with a pity. After a while, his eyes were fixed on the medicine bottle and the green incense. The pill bottle had a label on it, where it was written the words 'Spirit Condensation.' As for the incense, the words 'Rising Green' were carved on the side. He had received a similar thing when he became a servant. Consuming such a pill would increase his cultivation base, and inhaling the smoke from the burning incense would have the same effect.
“Using them as they are would be a huge waste. It would be best to use spirit enhancement on them first. Maybe I can even use it to break the bottleneck in my cultivation base. ” After pondering over the matter for a while, he made a decision. However, he only had one color of firewood, so he decided to go down the mountain the next morning to get something better.
After making his decision, he sat down cross-legged and started meditating. When it came to his cultivation, he never gave up. Although his progress slowed recently, he still spent time every day on it.
The whole purpose of practicing cultivation was to live forever, so naturally he would stick to it.
The night passed smoothly, and soon dawn broke. The sunlight pierced through the mist, making it seem as if a precious treasure was descending. Bai Xiaochun had been cultivating the entire night. He opened his eyes, dressed in the clothes of his Outer Sect disciples, and then rushed out of the wooden hut to find the Sacred Writing Pavilion that Elder Brother Hou mentioned the day before.
The Sacred Writing Pavilion was a bit far from his own residence, on the other side of the mountain. It took him about an hour of walking before he saw a group of towering pagodas in the distance. They emitted a shimmering light, and sent pulsing pressure in all directions.
He met several other Outer Sect disciples, who were all busy about being busy. When they sensed that Bai Xiaochun was only at the third level of Qi Condensation, they completely ignored him.
Bai Xiaochun did not care, but given that most of the disciples he had met had a much higher cultivation base than his, he proceeded carefully. There were even some he had encountered whose cultivation base was so high that it was unreadable. Those people always had many disciples swarming around them, laughing and chatting with them as they walked.
The closer he got to the Scripture Pavilion, the more disciples he saw. Just as he was about to enter the area of the building itself, a beam of light flew towards the area from one of the distant mountain peaks. In that ray of light, it was possible to see a young man standing on a flying disk, which revolved around Fragrant Cloud Peak before flying back into the distance.
"That's Qian Dajin from the Hall of Justice! Elder Brother Qian! "
"Older Brother Qian is a disciple of the Inner Sect, and also a member of the Hall of Justice. He's famous! I heard that he is in the great circle of level eight Qi Condensation, and has access to the flight items temporarily.I am extremely jealous!"
Bai Xiaochun also looked on with jealousy. After Qian Dajin disappeared, he sighed inwardly.
"One day, when I can fly, I will take time every day to fly around Fragrant Cloud Peak!" Muttering to himself in anticipation, he began to push his way through the crowd towards the Sacred Scripture Pavilion.
The building is big. The first floor was completely empty except for the long table. Behind the table, an old man sat there with his eyes closed in meditation. All the disciples who wanted to pass through would place their identity medals on the table. After it shines with a glittering light, they will pass by respectfully.
Copying everyone, Bai Xiaochun placed his identity medal on the table. It only took a moment for it to sparkle, after which he took it back and followed the other disciples up the stairs to the second floor.
This floor was filled with many shelves, which were packed with jade slips or occasional bamboo scrolls. They all glittered with a bright light, making the second floor of the Scripture Pavilion an incredible place.
Looking at the other stairs further away, Bai Xiaochun looked around and then walked over. However, when he tried to step up to it, his legs rose again.
A young man sat at the side, with straight eyebrows and a bamboo scroll in his hand. When he sensed what was happening, he looked at Bai Xiaochun.
Bai Xiaochun put on his most charming expression and then curiously asked the young man, "Sister, what qualifications do you need to climb up there?"
"What, are you new here?" the young man replied slowly, "you must be at the fifth level of Qi Condensation to go there." With that, he continued to read the bamboo scroll.
Bai Xiaochun could tell that the young man did not want to be disturbed. Forgetting about the third floor, he started to walk around on the second floor. Every now and then he took out a jade slip to inspect, or browsed through some bamboo scrolls. He looked at all sorts of different magical techniques, all of which seemed very interesting.
It was especially true on something called the Flame Dao magical technique, which seemed to be extremely extraordinary.
After a while, he discovered the jade slip for the Violet Qi Cauldron Control Art. That's a description and an image for the fourth to eighth levels. He quickly grabbed it and then continued walking.
Time passed, and soon night was near. Bai Xiaochun had seen about seventy percent of the second floor, and now, the crowd was starting to thin out.
"These eight seem to be quite extraordinary ..." he thought, looking through his choices. One of them was a bamboo scroll, somewhat dilapidated, but something that caused Bai Xiaochun's eyes to widen with excitement as he looked at it.
"Undying Live Forever Technique !!"
He took a deep breath as he checked the introduction to the technique. Apparently, cultivating this technique to the highest extent would make one die and also be able to live forever.
Gasping for breath, he once again checked the name of the technique, and then decided that this was his decision!
He started practicing cultivation for the purpose of living forever, so finding techniques like these almost made it seem as if they were mysteriously connected by fate. Laughing out loud, he held a bamboo scroll in his hand as he descended the stairs.
Back in the main hall of the first floor, the old man was still sitting behind the table with his eyes closed, looking exactly like before. However, as soon as Bai Xiaochun put down the Violet Qi Cauldron Art Control jade slip and the Forever Bamboo Technique scroll onto the table, the man's eyes slowly opened.
He looked at Bai Xiaochun up and down, which made Bai Xiaochun tremble. The man's gaze felt like lightning. Shivering, Bai Xiaochun immediately showed his most honorable expression.
Fortunately, the old man quickly looked down on Bai Xiaochun's identity medal.
"The newly promoted disciple can take a copy of the first eight levels of the Violet Qi Cauldron Control Art," the old man said slowly, his voice hoarse. "They can also choose the technique they choose." Then his eyes were fixed on the bamboo scroll of the Eternal Life Technique, and he frowned slightly.
After hearing the old man's words, Bai Xiaochun felt that this technique had been waiting here for so many years just for him. Then he thought again of the words 'eternal' and 'living forever', and his blood was boiling. He immediately replied, "Senior, I definitely want it, very much!"
The old man said nothing more to prevent it. He waved his right hand, sending two empty jade slips flying out. After the copy was made, he handed it to Bai Xiaochun, then did not pay him any more and went back to meditating.
Bai Xiaochun kept the jade slip. With eyes gleaming in anticipation, he left the Sacred Scripture Pavilion and returned to his courtyard residence.
By the time he came back, it was already night. Once again inside his cabin, he sat cross-legged, took a deep breath, and took out a jade slip for the Eternal Life Technique. Then he circulated his spiritual energy and sent it to the jade. After closing his eyes, a technique magic spell appeared in his mind.
An hour later, he opened his eyes again, and a thoughtful expression could be seen.
As the old man had said, the Undying Immortal Life Technique was incomplete. According to the description, this technique is developed in two ways, internal and external. It is further broken down into external aspects of skin, meat, and muscle.
The internal aspect is bone and blood.
As for this incomplete version, it only contains techniques to process the skin. Also, the cultivation method seemed to be truly torturous. Furthermore, to process it requires a large expenditure of resources. However, there were some secret magic listed inside that seemed almost unbelievable. For example, there is one called the Throat Destroyer Grip that should be invincible.
Bai Xiaochun hesitated for a moment, then looked once again at the words 'dead' and 'live forever'. Finally, his eyes were filled with determination, and he followed the description in the information, using both of his hands to attack the various positions on his body.
Bai Xiaochun focused on not dying and living forever in a way that far exceeded anyone else. Therefore, he did exactly as the technique requested, and hit himself all night.
The next day, his whole body ached. It doesn't matter if he is standing or sitting. Even raising his arm hurt. However, he gritted his teeth and continued to do as the technique manual commanded, and forced himself to move.
“Oww…. Relax then flex ... aaaaoooowwwww.... bending then relax! ” he said, repeating one of the lines from the technique as he jumped and skipped around the page. He let out one miserable scream after another, and tears streamed down his face. Finally, he gritted his teeth, grabbed the spirit stone, and went down the mountain.
He thought that if he had to make a move, he might go out and buy the medicinal herbs he needed to obtain the Longevity Enhancing Pill. It would be much better than doing nothing more than exercising in his yard.
Immediately, the many Outer Sect disciples on Fragrant Cloud Peak saw an extremely strange sight. There was a fair-faced young man jumping and jumping around in a very strange way. He also cried at the top of his lungs in a way that almost sounded euphoric.
“Ah ah, oh oh! Ah ah, oh oh! Ah .. ah .. ah .. ah .. ah … "
Bai Xiaochun did not want to cry, but the pain was too much. In fact, it was so painful that he was quite sure that not even moving would also be painful. However, all he had to do was think of the words 'eternal' and 'living forever', and he continued with a ruthless determination. And thus he continued to get to the market outside of the sect.
Shaking, he bought all the medicinal herbs he needed, as well as some one-colored firewood. Two-colored firewood was much more expensive, so he only bought one piece. After that, he ran out of spirit stones.
Gritting his teeth, he returned to the Mission Office and handed over the mission he had taken when he was still a servant. In return, he got the Extending Longevity Enhancing Pill.
The pill was yellow, about the size of its thumbnail, and exuded a strange medicinal scent. He stared at the pill, his body still burning with so much pain that he could barely speak. Sweat poured it, soaking it completely.
Clenching his teeth, he climbed back up the Fragrant Cloud Peak stairs, leaving a trail of sweat behind him as he left. He got some shocked and even cynical looks from the other Outer Sect disciples. After all, he was actually sweating far beyond what was normal.
He's really not sure what's going on. By the time he returned to his courtyard residence, it was already midnight. As soon as he walked inside, he fell to the ground, unconscious.
Despite fainting, the pain awoke him several times throughout the night. By the time the light of dawn spread to the sky, he woke up and realized that the pain was gone.
"Incomplete minor cycles ..." he thought, recalling the introduction to the technique. If he could go a full day and night without fainting, it would be a complete little cycle. If he could complete eighty-one small cycles, it would be considered a small circulation. After that, the skin will change, and it will reach the point that the process will not be so painful.
“If the technique is simple, everyone will do it, and everyone will be able to live forever. The harder it is, the more I will cultivate it! Then I will truly die and be able to live forever! " His eyes were filled with determination; his obsession to live forever was strong, and had reached a truly astounding level.
Now that his body was no longer in pain, he took out the Longevity Enhancing Pill and studied it. He was just about to eat it when suddenly he seemed to remember something. Looking around to make sure no one was looking, he rushed over to the log cabin and performed a spell motion with his right hand, causing the turtle to appear.
“Econsumption in that way would be a huge loss. The best thing to do is to eat it after a boost in spirit. ” Licking his lips, he produced a two-colored firewood and lit it under a turtle frying pan. Immediately, the wood burned, and moments later, it became ashes. At the same time, two luminous designs appeared in the turtles.
After hesitating for a moment, he inserted the Longevity Enhancing Pill inside. Almost as soon as the spirit medicine entered the frying pan, a silver light lit up. After experiencing this earlier, Bai Xiaochun's expression did not change in the slightest, and he continued to stare at the pan.
After a while, the silver light faded and, surprisingly, two silver designs could be seen on the Longevity Longevity Enhancing Pill. The medicinal fragrance drifting from him was now much stronger than before, so strong that inhaling a mere scent would turn on the spirit.
"It's a pity that I have nothing to make a three-colored flame." He took out the spirit medicine and put it in his mouth. As soon as it melted, it turned into a hot current that swept through his body.
Bai Xiaochun felt his mind rumble, and his body felt like a furnace. However, even when he was overheating, the white hair on his head turned black again. Waves of powerful life force filled him back up, and after a while, he could tell that it was even stronger than before. A little blood flowed out of his nose.
"Great success!" he thought, his eyes widened. He immediately started cultivating the Violet Qi Cauldron Control Art, but found that there was a slight difference. After all, these spirit medicines replenished vital energy, not spiritual energy. More blood flowed out from his nose, and the hot current inside him expanded. He felt like a rubber ball that was about to appear. Amazement filled him.
In fact, the result of performing a twofold increase on spirit medicine ensured that the result far exceeded anything from before, and was far more valuable. Bai Xiaochun's cultivation base, which was at the third level of Qi Condensation, could not accept it.
At this critical point, he suddenly thought of the Undead Immortal Life Technique. He immediately jumped up and started hitting himself as hard as he could.
The sound of an eruption rang out, and the hot currents began to clear. Bai Xiaochun did not dare to stop. Not until an hour later did the current disappear completely. He was in so much pain that he fell to the ground, panting. However, he looked even more excited than before, and his eyes shone with an intense radiance.
“This has to do with spirit enhancement, but the main thing is that spirit medicine. Spirit medicine ... outstanding …. It can increase spiritual energy and can increase longevity …. Well, I wonder if there is any kind of medicine that can make people live forever! " The more he thought about it, the more excited he was, and his brighter eyes shone.
"Fragrant Cloud Peak trains pharmacies …
"In that case, I will become a pharmacist …. The Life-For eternity Pill Never Dies! ” Bai Xiaochun began to pant, and his intrigue for spirit medicine reached an unheard of level.
