Chapter 422: Refining the Flesh

Chapter 422: Refining the Flesh
The tone of my desire to become an immortal was extremely conflicted.

Xiao Jie immediately understood that it was indeed difficult to choose between powerful strength and the happiness of the lower body.

What Ye Luo said before is still ringing in his ears. People have to pay a price for anything they want. If you want to become an immortal, you must think carefully before making a choice, otherwise it will be too late to regret it in the future.

Seeing that I was struggling with my desire to become an immortal, Ye Luo beside me asked curiously.

"Master, why is it that only a pure yang body can maintain divine power?"

After listening to this, Xiao Jie also became curious. It seemed that in Chinese mythology, there was a setting that gods could not marry and have children, and any affair between men and women was against the laws of heaven. However, he really couldn't figure out why there was a connection between the two.

Although the tone of Mingyue Zhenren was cold, he did not refuse to answer, and asked: "Do you know where this divine power comes from?"

"The power of incense?" Ye Luo answered tentatively.

"That's right, but what is this incense power?"

"People's wishes?" This time it was Xiao Jie who answered.

"That's right, haha, you returnees know a lot. The so-called power of will is the faith in people's hearts. Strong faith can produce magical power. Even if something does not exist, as long as there are enough people who believe in it, it will become real. Most of the power of the gods comes from this.

The so-called turning the virtual into the real... Such power is of no value to those who practice Taoism. Practicing Taoism is to cultivate the truth and seek the great way of the world, while the power of gods is false. It looks colorful, but it is nothing but an illusion.

But for ordinary people, it is enough.

The giants are living gods, and their power also comes from mortals' imagination and worship of gods. If you have been to the temple, you can see that there are often some hideous, strong and powerful guardian guards around the statues - that is the image of the guardian giants.

Ten thousand years ago, these sculptures did not exist. They only began to appear when the immortals created the giant guardian spirits.

According to myths and legends, these guardian giants are celestial warriors sent by heaven to exorcise demons and monsters. People's faith gives the giants great power.

In the vision of mortals, the gods have no emotions and desires. When you break this vision, the power of incense and vows will naturally no longer be placed in you. "

Therefore, the guardian giants must keep themselves clean, not be affected by the seven emotions and six desires, and maintain a pure yang body. Once contaminated, the divine power will gradually be lost. In those years, the immortals trained 108 guardian giants, and most of them eventually gave up this power because for mortals, it is very important to marry, have children, and pass on the family line.

Now that the demons have been destroyed, there is naturally no need to retain this power.

However, there were also ten guardian giants who kept their oaths and eventually ascended to become gods."

Xiao Jie thought to himself, "So that's how it is." In that case, he really needs to think about it carefully.

Since ten giants have ascended to become gods, that means if I persist in becoming an immortal, maybe I can also ascend to become a god after reaching level 40.

Although this god is not that god, and is probably just a low-level god, he is still a god after all.

To become a god or to be a man, what a difficult choice. Xiao Jie felt a little sympathy for the person who was watching "I Want to Become an Immortal" on the screen.

Gu Feiyu's voice suddenly came from behind him, but he was attracted by the discussion in the game.

"Brother Jie, I have an idea. If we can change the impression people have of gods in this game and tell them that gods can also get married and have children, wouldn't that mean we can have the best of both worlds..."

Xiao Jie was speechless. This was true, but the problem was that it was so difficult to change the minds of the people in the entire Jiuzhou world. How much effort would it take just to meet a condition for a job change?

Besides, how can the ten thousand years of human tradition be changed so easily? It is too idealistic.

"It's not that easy."

At this time, I wanted to become an immortal and finally I had to ask Xiao Jie for help.

"Brother Feng, please help me think of a solution. This is too big of a sacrifice. I haven't had a girlfriend yet, and I haven't held hands with anyone. If you don't let me in the future, it would be too much of a loss." There was a hint of tears in my voice.

Xiao Jie thought to himself that it was true. For the sake of his brother's happiness, he was also trying hard to think of a countermeasure. Suddenly, he had an idea.

"Master Mingyue, do you think I am a pure yang body?"

The Mingyue Master glanced at Xiao Jie and nodded, "It is indeed a pure yang body."

As expected! Xiao Jie understood immediately.

The permanent changes that occur to players in the game will be projected into reality, but the changes that occur to players in reality will not affect the changes to the characters in the game. For example, if a player breaks a hand in reality, the character in the game will not break his hand as a result.

In other words, this pure yang body should refer to the fact that characters in the game cannot have romantic relationships, not that players in real life cannot have relationships with others.

In this case, as long as you don't tease female NPCs or players in the game in the future, you can still do what you should do in real life. It won't have any impact at all.

Thinking of this, Xiao Jie hurriedly told his speculation, and I was overjoyed. "Damn, that's great, Brother Feng, are you sure?"

"I'm not sure where to go, it's just speculation. Why don't you find a girl in real life to try it out and see if it has any impact. If it does, then just switch to another career. If it doesn't, then don't worry about it."

"Oh...Is that so? Okay, I'll give it a try right now!" I was obviously determined to become an immortal. As it concerned my happiness for the rest of my life, he was very decisive.

Seeing that I had hurriedly logged off, Xiao Jie was not idle. He asked directly, "Master Mingyue, I wonder what materials are needed for this ritual to refine the body. Please tell me. I will go and collect them now."

Although Xiao Jie couldn't guarantee it, he estimated that there was probably no problem. In that case, there was no need to waste time waiting.

"All the necessary materials are here." Master Mingyue said as he handed over a list.

Xiao Jie clicked it and took a look.

[Materials List (Quest Items)

Golden Sun Fruit × 10, Golden Thorn Grass × 10, Sunflower × 10, Pure Yang Essence × 5, Divine Essence × 5, Gold Ingot × 5...

This is quite a lot of material. It would have been difficult to deal with it in the past, but now...

Xiao Jie sent a private message directly to Long Teng Sihai.

Yin Yue Sui Feng: Brother Si Hai, my brother is doing an advanced task and needs some materials. Can you help collect them?

Longteng Sihai: No problem, send me the list.

Xiao Jie immediately sent over the list of materials.

Longteng Sihai: Oh my god, so many?
Yin Yue Sui Feng: What’s the matter? Is there a problem?
Long Teng Si Hai: No problem, I will ask the logistics department to mobilize it for you right away. It may take some time, so please wait patiently for me.

At this moment, in the Longxiang base, Longteng Sihai immediately began to arrange people.

"This is the material Brother Suifeng wants. Get it quickly."

"Oh my god, so much? It's a lot of money."

"It doesn't matter whether it's money or not. They've handed over their territory, so we should return the favor. Let's do it quickly."

Xiao Jie's handing over of power is a big deal, and giving some materials is nothing.

Longteng Sihai immediately asked the logistics team to collect materials, and if they were out of stock, they would buy them.

After making the arrangements, he asked Ah Fu who was standing next to him.

"How's the situation with the captain? Any results?"

"No, I'm still in a meeting with the governor. I guess we'll have to prepare to join forces with Longhua next."

In this expansion pack, the New Imperial Army can be said to be the largest monster force. According to the report from the intelligence team, Long Wushang's army has entered Qiansong City and started to attack in batches. This guy is really confident and has no idea of ​​defeating them one by one. He directly divides his troops into three groups and launches an all-out attack.

Longhua Prefecture, Fengyin Prefecture, and Liuhuo Prefecture all encountered attacks from the vanguard of the New Imperial Army.

Therefore, the troops of the three state capitals have now begun to prepare for this war.

In addition to the governors of the three states mobilizing their own armies, the three countries established by the players also became direct participants in this plot event. The Great Xia Kingdom established by the First Dynasty and the Ritian Kingdom established by the Aoao Niubi Empire have now temporarily ceased fighting and are preparing to fight against Long Wushang's new imperial army. The Longxiang Kingdom will naturally also join the war, so there are six forces directly involved.

It feels like the six major sects are besieging Guangmingding.

Ordinary player guilds do not have the right to sit at the table. Only the player guilds that slay dragons and found a nation have this qualification. From this point of view, the previous step of slaying dragons and building a nation was the right one. No matter how great the sacrifice, the title of this country must be won, otherwise there will be no way to sit at the table.

Moreover, according to the expert group's analysis, Long Xiang's performance in this alliance war will directly determine how many chances he will have to dominate the world in the future.

The governors of Jiuzhou are all neutral units and will not try to secede and fight for hegemony, so Long Wushang's behavior has attracted so much hostility.

In other words, as long as the player shows the spirit of a king who can unify the world, there is a high probability that he can gain the loyalty of the governor, and the benefits he can gain from that will be numerous.

To achieve this goal, they must demonstrate their strength and magnanimity in the upcoming war.

Therefore, it can be said that the three player countries are all going all out.

Not to mention, the drops from these world bosses are absolutely unprecedentedly rich, probably three times better than the drops from the dragons killed before.

Moreover, according to the analysis of the expert group of the Longxiang Guild, Long Wushang is likely to drop a treasure that is directly related to the unification of Jiuzhou and the Longhua Empire.

Something like the imperial seal, as long as you grab this thing, the unification of the nine provinces will be secure.

To achieve this, there must be enough masters participating in the battle.

It is okay for ordinary players to kill monsters and participate in activities, but when facing those world bosses, having more people is useless. At critical moments, you still have to rely on the combat effectiveness of the core players.

In this case, the value of Xiao Jie and his group becomes particularly important and they must be won over.

Even if there is no handover of power, we must win them over.

Xiao Jie was not aware of this, so when he received the email an hour later, he couldn't help but sigh at Long Xiang's high efficiency.

After returning to Xuanxu Palace with the materials, Xiao Jie called me, Yu Chengxian.

"How do you become an immortal? Is it over?"

"Well, it's done." Chengxian's voice was determined and a little lost.

"What's wrong? You sound a little depressed."

"Ah, nothing, it's just a little different from what I imagined. I had thought that I would meet a girl who truly loves me, and then have a sweet love..." I said with a lost and embarrassed voice.

Xiao Jie was immediately amused when he heard this, "Young man, this kind of thing will never be the same as you imagine. As for love, that's just used to fool little girls. There's no such thing as love. It's nothing more than a chemical reaction. Strength is what's important.

Pava, do you understand? If you have power, why are you afraid of not having love? Go and ask Master Mingyue if there is any problem. "

Seeing the three people coming back again, Master Mingyue did not react at all.

"Master, I've decided. I can do it. Do you think I can do it now?"

Master Mingyue glanced at me as I was about to become an immortal, but didn't see anything unusual.

"Now that you've made your decision, let's get started."

After saying that, he brought the three of them to the alchemy room.

"Please enter this furnace. I will begin to refine your body."

Ah! I want to become an immortal. I was shocked. I thought that sacrifice and refining was just an adjective. I didn't expect that I would really enter the alchemy furnace. Was I going to refine myself into an immortal pill?
“To transform into a giant spirit, you need to fuse the power of incense and vows with your soul and body. This process is naturally extremely dangerous. If you make the slightest mistake, you will disappear into thin air. However, as a Yellow Turban warrior, you already have a strong body, so you should be able to withstand it.

But to be on the safe side, you'd better cast a few spells or take some pills."

Fortunately, Xiao Jie was prepared for this, and he directly traded the prepared pills and talismans to me for Yu Chengxian.

Fire-proof talisman!
Three cold ice elixirs!
Iron Wall Talisman!
Diamond Talisman!
Protective divine light!

All kinds of BUFFs are available. Xiao Jie took off the Five Elements Control Robe and traded it to me, Yu Chengxian. This robe adds 30 points of fire resistance.

Ye Luo also traded a cloak with a fire-heated bed for me, Yu Chengxian.

With all the equipment ready, I was determined to become an immortal. I gritted my teeth, clicked the furnace, and immediately went inside.

Master Mingyue immediately began the sacrificial ceremony.

Start!
Boom! Flames suddenly rose outside the alchemy furnace. In the flames, my figure that was about to become an immortal suddenly appeared, and the protective divine light on my body suddenly condensed.

In order to become an immortal, I started taking medicine non-stop. Fortunately, with the help of equipment and various BUFFs, the damage from the alchemy furnace was not very high. As long as I kept taking medicine to recover blood, I would hardly die suddenly.

Master Mingyue was muttering something while offering sacrifices, casting spells, and putting various materials into the alchemy furnace.

The flesh and blood condense into energy, and the spirit body transforms into a form.

The ferocious god has angry eyes and is feared by all.

The power of incense and vows transforms into divine light.

Possessed by divine power, in the form of a giant spirit.

After more than five minutes of refining, I took several sets of immortality pills, and finally -

Boom! A giant bald man covered in golden light slowly floated out of the alchemy furnace. He was emitting golden light all over his body and floated in the air, like a god descending to the earth.

The golden light gradually disappeared, and finally turned back into my original appearance when I wanted to become an immortal, but there were three more golden tattoos on my body.

"Really? It worked?" I shouted excitedly, wanting to become an immortal.

Master Mingyue looked at me and said I was about to become an immortal, but he also nodded slightly.

"I want to become an immortal. Now you have the power of a giant spirit. Compared with the guardian giant spirit and the general, each has its own advantages. Although your combat power is slightly weaker in the early stage, you have a bright future. As long as you can continue to gather the power of incense and vows, your magical power will become stronger and stronger, and you will have a huge advantage when fighting against demons and monsters. I hope you can use this power well in the future and live up to the reputation of the guardian giant spirit.

Although you have successfully refined your body and have initially mastered the ability to display your divine powers, it will still take some time for your body to merge with your divine power. When the time is right, you will be able to gain the full power of the guardian giant spirit."

Xiao Jie knew everything very well. The previous judge was in a similar situation to Ye Luo. If the time was right, he would naturally have to wait until he reached level 30 to complete his job change.

If I don't change my job, this power will probably only be a semi-finished product.

After asking about Wo Yu Cheng Xian, the fact turned out to be just as he guessed. Wo Yu Cheng Xian had obtained three passive abilities, two of which were? ? ? ?, not unlocked, and the only one that was unlocked was still a semi-finished product.

[Physical God (Unfinished): You can learn and cast magical powers. Since you have not yet fully transformed, you can only cast the most basic magical spells. ]

Gu Feiyu behind him was equally excited. This was a god - although it was only a half-finished product.

But he suddenly seemed to remember something - "Brother Jie, I suddenly thought of a question. In reality, his ability to find girls in the game is indeed not affected. But if he becomes a god in reality, then wouldn't he be affected in reality too?"

Ah! Xiao Jie was stunned. Gu Feiyu's words were a bit confusing, but he still understood them.

The present world will not affect the game, but reality will affect reality. You really can’t be too happy about becoming an immortal too soon.

"Chengxian, there is something I need to remind you of."

"Ah, what's the matter?" I was so happy that I could not contain myself at this moment.

"Well, although reality will not affect the game, reality will affect reality. So if you break the Pure Yang Body in reality, I'm afraid..."

“Oh… Damn it!”
