Chapter 7: Level up again and leave the Yan family
Chapter 7: Level up again and leave the Yan family
"Chance? This is clearly a disaster."
"Master, that person is at least a cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage. I am just a Qi-refining cultivator with a short life span. How dare I covet the Nascent Soul inheritance?"
This Gong Yangzi was a high-level Qi Refining cultivator like himself, and he was at the ninth level of Qi Refining, just one step away from building a foundation. He was hunted here because of this inheritance opportunity.
This shows how dangerous this matter is.
And it's just a possible opportunity.
Wei Zhong shifted his attention to the jade slip.
"Those who have mastered the Blood Body Technique can go to Yunjiang Prefecture..."
The jade slip describes a method of cultivating an external incarnation called "Blood Body Technique", which is a set with the blood-colored sword.
As for Yunjiang Prefecture, it is next to Mangyuan Prefecture where Wei Zhong is located, and is at least ten thousand miles away from here.
The journey was long and mountainous, and it was difficult for even a foundation-building cultivator to go there, let alone Wei Zhong who was only at the Qi-refining stage.
"Besides, how can a legacy come with an instruction manual?"
It was like someone deliberately throwing out a bait, and Wei Zhong smelled a strong scent of conspiracy.
Of course, it is not ruled out that Wei Zhong was overthinking, but this kind of method is ultimately not for Wei Zhong. To practice this method, one needs to at least have the foundation-building cultivation level before one can withstand the injury of soul-tearing.
"It hurts to see my soul torn apart. I'm only at the eighth level of Qi Refining, so I'd better put this thing away."
After thinking for a moment, Wei Zhong made a decision.
The most important thing on the road to cultivating immortals is stability. Wei Zhong will not easily step on this kind of inheritance that is obviously full of traps.
Wei Zhong found a sparsely populated hill and a hidden location, dug a hole, and buried the blood-red sword and even the jade slip.
"If this item is found by someone, then I will have no chance to obtain it. If no one finds it, then I will have to build my foundation successfully in the future, or at least reach the Golden Core stage before considering this matter."
Wei Zhong is very clear about his advantages. He has the means to level up and exchange his life. As long as the world of cultivation is stable enough, he can continue to level up, level up, and exchange his life. This will give him an almost endless lifespan.
For this reason, it is better to avoid events that are extremely risky.
After a lot of psychological comfort, Wei Zhong finally let the matter go and returned to his own courtyard to make sure that he had cleaned it up fairly thoroughly. Wei Zhong took out the "Healthy Exercises" he had just filmed and studied them carefully.
······
"What about people?"
“I lost…”
"Snapped!"
There seemed to be the sound of a slap hitting the face, and a man in a blood-stained robe was knocked to the ground.
However, this person did not dare to show any dissatisfaction, nor did he dare to struggle on the ground for even a moment. He endured the pain and climbed up and knelt again.
"What a waste! He even let the seriously injured Qi Refining cultivator escape."
A deep voice came from a wide hood. The person was wearing a thick red and black Taoist robe, which made it difficult to see his figure. The voice was so deep that it was difficult to tell whether he was a man or a woman.
"Please forgive me, Master!"
The man in the blood-stained robe lowered his head even lower.
At this moment, the leader the man mentioned did not reply, but closed his eyes for a moment.
'I can't even sense the direction of the Yin blood. The Yin blood is connected to his heart meridian and cannot be removed without a method of the same origin. Or is he already dead?'
'Forget it, never mind, the purpose of this trip has been achieved.'
A blood-red sword and a jade slip appeared in the leader's hand. They looked exactly the same as the one Wei Zhong got.
If Wei Zhong were here, he would definitely sigh: It turned out that someone had thrown out the bait.
'I never thought that Wang Linpeng, who claims to be a righteous cultivator, holds such a magic inheritance. I practice Yin Blood Art, which is a lower level of Blood Sea Art and has the same origin as it. Even if this inheritance seems like a trap, I must fight for it.'
The path to immortality is difficult, and those who seek the truth will not miss even the slightest opportunity for advancement.
The two objects flashed by, the leader stood up, and with a flick of his right arm, the man who had just begged for mercy had his flesh and blood peeled off and turned into bloody bones.
"Pass on my order, all the followers, move to Yunjiang Prefecture..."
"I will obey the orders of the leader!"
······
Four years later, Wei Zhong frowned slightly as he looked at his panel.
[Name: Wei Zhong] [Cultivation: Qi Refining Level 97 (%)]
[Kung Fu: Bilang Kung·Mastery (79%); Yangsheng Kung·Introduction (49%)]
【Shouyuan: 136/137】
The Health Preserving Exercise is indeed difficult to practice. I have spent countless hours on it over the past four years, but have only reached half of the entry standard. It will take at least another four years to become proficient.
Moreover, the entry-level health-preserving exercises are of no help in repairing his injuries.
Is it because of lack of proficiency?
Wei Zhong felt helpless.
In a blink of an eye, four years passed and his life span was almost over, but he was only a step away from the ninth level of Qi Refining.
"Krypton level in exchange for ten years of life."
In the blink of an eye, Wei Zhong felt his old body regain vitality.
【Name: Wei Zhong】
[Cultivation: Qi Refining Level 97 (%)]
[Kung Fu: Bilang Kung·Mastery (79%); Yangsheng Kung·Introduction (49%)]
【Shouyuan: 126/137】
I have another ten years and one day to live. This is the interesting way to cultivate immortality.
If I count carefully, my predecessor Wei Zhong plus the past ten years myself, has lived to be 147 years old.
The average lifespan of a Qi-refining cultivator is no more than 150 years, and even the longest-lived ones are only 180. My lifespan is already close to the average.
If I stay in the Yan family any longer, I might attract the attention of someone with ulterior motives.
"Alas, I won't be staying in the Yan family for long."
Wei Zhong planned to raise his cultivation to the ninth level of Qi Refining and then leave the Yan family. He would then leave on the grounds that he had little time left and missed his family.
Although most of those who practice Taoism are heartless and disloyal, there are also many who rush to the mortal world when their lifespan is approaching, leaving a legacy for their descendants.
Wait until immortal roots appear again in the family and resume the path of cultivating immortals.
Spring went and autumn came, seven years passed, and Wei Zhong bid farewell to Yan Wenbo with a sense of old age.
"Brother Wei, are you really leaving?"
Wei Zhong nodded:
"I don't have much time left, and there is no hope for me to build a foundation. As I face my final days, I miss my descendants and want to go back and leave a legacy for them..."
Wei Zhong looked at Yan Wenbo in front of him. He was about the same age as Wei Zhong, but he was practicing wood-attributed skills, which had some effect on maintaining beauty and prolonging life.
He doesn't look that old, but Wei Zhong guessed that his life span is no more than ten years.
"After this trip, I'm afraid we'll never meet again."
Yan Wenbo shook his head. The two had known each other for decades and had become good friends.
"Brother Yan, when you embark on the path of cultivating immortality, you should know that separation and death are common things..."
The two exchanged greetings for a moment and then handed over the matters concerning the spiritual field. Wei Zhong left a bag of yellow spiritual buds and left.
Looking back at the hill where the Yan family lived, Wei Zhong's eyes were filled with emotion.
Seventeen years have passed since he traveled here. The Yan family has given Wei Zhong a full sense of security. If it were not for the purpose of avoiding being seen, Wei Zhong could have continued to practice here until he reached the stage of building a foundation.
"What a pity!"
Wei Zhong didn't know what he was regretting. He just caught a glimpse of the lights chasing towards him and felt a little melancholy.
"I want to leave right now, why force me?"
His figure flashed and headed towards the wilderness.
When the people behind saw this, they fled even faster.
