Chapter 177: Human Relations and Worldly Wisdom, The Only Path to Immortality 1
Chapter 177: Human Relations and the Only Path to Immortality
The two immortals looked at each other and suddenly burst into laughter.
Tianxuan Zhenren (the hermit immortal): "Fool, fool, it is not so easy to be an immortal. Haven't you seen that even we have to live in seclusion from the world?"
Kaiyang Xingjun (a hermit immortal): "Besides, since the great disaster five hundred years ago, the path to immortality has been cut off. Your chances of becoming an immortal are very slim."
Xiao Jie asked curiously, "Why is this?"
Tianxuan Zhenren smiled slightly, "This matter is related to a great secret of the immortal world. I can tell you, but after I tell you, you and I will no longer have anything to do with each other. Are you sure you want to ask this question?"
A dialog box pops up in front of you.
Option 1: That’s right, please tell me what exactly happened to the disaster that year.
Option 2: My Lords, please allow me to think carefully before asking you some individual questions.
Xiao Jie naturally and decisively chose option 2. It would be fine if he was told how to become an immortal, but it would be useless to explain why he couldn't become an immortal.
Of course, it is not completely useless. At least it is still very valuable as intelligence. However, it is extremely difficult to cash in on this kind of intelligence. With his current strength, he can forget about it.
"My two masters, please allow me to think carefully before asking other questions."
Xiao Jie thought that it seemed that this immortal's guidance was not a wishing well, and he could not get whatever he wanted.
My current biggest goal is to gain power. It would be best if I could become an immortal, but if that's not possible, getting a magic profession would also be good.
“My two immortals, I have thought it through. My lifelong wish is to pacify the troubled world, slay demons and monsters, restore order to this world, and let the people of Kyushu return to paradise.
To achieve this goal, I must possess great strength. Although I know a little bit of martial arts and can kill bandits and chop up a few small monsters, I am still powerless against the real demons.
So I want to learn magic and become an immortal. Only in this way can I achieve my wish.
Please give me some pointers on how to learn immortal arts and obtain the inheritance of magic, preferably the kind of inheritance that gives me the chance to become an immortal."
Xiao Jie first set up a character for himself, and then stated his request, in order to ask for someone to take him seriously and not let the two immortals fool him.
This trick really had some effect. After hearing what Xiao Jie said, the two immortals looked at each other and their expressions became serious.
Tianxuan Zhenren: "It is commendable that you have such an idea. Since the great disaster, Jiuzhou has been in chaos. Now with you returnees, it has become more lively. The hope of Jiuzhou world in the future will depend on you returnees. Well, we will plan something for you and do our best - Brother Kaiyang, do you have any ideas?"
A golden light flashed in Kaiyang Star Lord's eyes. He stared at Xiao Jie for a moment and nodded slightly: "You don't have the karma of incense, so you can't learn supernatural powers. Your perception is dull and blind, and you can't practice ghost spells. You do have some spirituality, but it's a pity that it's not too high. You can't practice the authentic immortal method.
There are only some minor tricks like Taoist magic and witchcraft that can be practiced a bit."
Taoist Tianxuan nodded and said, "That's right. As for becoming an immortal, you'd better not think about it. That road is too dim. Why don't we two give you a few spells to inherit and let you choose."
The dialog box pops up again.
Option 1: Thank you both, Immortals. It is enough for me to practice magic with you. Please let me know.
Option 2: My Lords, please allow me to think carefully before asking you some individual questions.
Option 3: If there is a chance to become an immortal, even if it is only a slight chance, I am willing to give it a try. Why don’t you two immortals tell me about the opportunity to become an immortal and the methods of practicing magic, so that I can make a clear choice. (Human relations and worldly wisdom).
Xiao Jie was delighted. He didn't expect that the social etiquette would come in handy at this time.
Yes, although the two immortals said that the chance of becoming an immortal is slim, they did not completely deny it, which means that there is still a small chance.
When playing games, I am not afraid of difficult tasks, but I am afraid of not having the opportunity to accept tasks.
Xiao Jie decisively chose option 3. "If there is a chance to become an immortal, even if there is only a slight chance, I am willing to give it a try. Why don't you two immortals tell me about the opportunity to become an immortal and the method of practicing magic, so that I can make a clear choice."
Tian Xuan Zhenren spread his hands and said, "Alas, you are such a fool. There is indeed a glimmer of hope to ascend to immortality, but it is too slim. The path to immortality is even more elusive. If you make a mistake, you will die.
Well, we have explained clearly the paths you can take, and you can choose for yourself.
Anyway, you can only choose one of all the paths, so just listen carefully.
The first way is the orthodox Xuanmen. There is a Tianji Temple in Longhua Prefecture. It was my Taoist temple back then. Although it is now abandoned, the descendants are still there. You can go there to become a disciple and learn Taoism."
Kaiyang Xingjun said: "The second way is the unconventional witchcraft. There is a Wuxian Mountain in Beimingzhou. There lives a group of shamans on the mountain. They are good at witchcraft and can summon the gods. I just need to let them know, and the great witch will naturally accept you as a disciple and teach you witchcraft."
Tianxuan Zhenren continued: "The first two paths are relatively easy to take. As long as you are willing to learn, you will definitely be able to learn it. But the third path is difficult, but it is the only path that still has a chance of becoming an immortal - that is the ancient Qi refining technique."
Kaiyang Xingjun continued, "Yes, in ancient times, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth was abundant, and many Qigong practitioners absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, refined their bodies, forged their primordial spirits, and achieved immortality. Many immortals at that time achieved their success in this way. However, as time passed and the sun and moon changed, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth has long since dissipated. Only in some blessed places and otherworldly caves can spiritual energy still gather."
Tianxuan Zhenren continued: "I can tell you where to find the ancient Qi-refining technique, but even if you find it, it will be extremely difficult to gather the spiritual energy to ascend to immortality.
Moreover, the ancient Qigong technique emphasized methods rather than skills. It was not as magical and changeable as witchcraft and Taoism. It could only refine the body and strengthen the spirit. If it was used to fight the enemy by pretending to be a ghost, it would be far inferior.
Okay, now that I have explained these three paths to you, you can make your choice.
An options bar suddenly appeared in front of me.
Option 1: Although it is not easy to follow the laws of nature, you can use the mysterious art to observe the secrets of heaven. Start the job transfer task [Observe the Secrets of Heaven and Observe the Tao]. After completing this task, you will unlock the rare job [Taoist] when you advance to the next job.
Option 2: The demon has a thousand faces but no shape, and all changes are in one heart. Start the job transfer task [Finding a Witch in Wuxianling]. Complete this task and unlock the rare job [Shaman] at the next job advancement.
Option 3: Flesh and blood become a cauldron, heart becomes a furnace, and ten thousand points of spiritual energy become the universe. Start the job transfer task [Ancient Legend]. Complete this task and unlock the hidden job [Ancient Refiner] when you advance to the next job.
Option 4: My Lords, please allow me to think carefully before asking you some more questions (favorability -10).
Xiao Jie was immediately conflicted. It was obvious that there was no such thing as the best of both worlds in this world. He could either choose a spell inheritance or obtain a magic profession at level 20, where he could practice the corresponding spells.
You can either choose to inherit the Qigong technique and obtain the ancient Qigong profession at level 2, which will give you a chance to become an immortal, but the price is that you won't be able to practice so many spells.
There is only a slight chance of becoming an immortal, but the power of magic is real.
How to choose?
Xiao Jie fell into deep thought for a moment...
But he didn't ponder for too long.
Although magic professions are valuable in this game, they are not that rare. There are always one or two out of ten.
But the players who became immortals have never heard of it.
If I could become an immortal, although I don’t know whether it is a hidden profession or a special race, I would definitely be able to crush all living beings.
To play games, you need to have some pursuit, as the saying goes, a bicycle can turn into a motorcycle if you try hard...
Besides, the Qi Refiner just doesn't have as rich a spell system as other magic schools, but it's not completely incapable of casting spells. After all, he does have some professional abilities.
Okay, it's you.
"Two immortals, please tell me where to find the practice method of ancient Qi refining technique."
