Cultivation of Immortality

Xunyi couldn't describe his feelings when he woke up. He used to think that the pain he felt when he had a headache was the ultimate pain, but now the pain he endured was many times worse than before, and it wasn't just the pain that was tormenting him at the moment. , there is still an indescribable discomfort in his heart. He really can't describe it. He has never experienced this kind of discomfort. If he was asked to choose between a headache and this kind of discomfort, he would choose the headache without hesitation. , and even would rather die than endure that kind of discomfort again.

The newly recovered consciousness gradually disappeared while he was rolling. He felt that he was dying, but there was no fear in his heart. He was still looking forward to dying early so that he could get rid of the discomfort as soon as possible. Soon he passed out again.

When he woke up again, it was like recovering from a serious illness. Although his head still hurt a little, his whole body felt relaxed. It was like a person who had been suffering from a long-term nasal congestion and his nose suddenly became clear. It felt wonderful.

Could it be that death is so comfortable? He opened his eyes eagerly, and the first thing he saw was a corpse that had turned into bones. He was startled and sat up suddenly. He was horrified to find that there were several corpses scattered far and near among the green grass. Skeletons.

"Little guy, turn around." An old voice came from behind.

The sound was so close that Xunyi, who was already in panic, was frightened again. He turned his head instinctively and saw a haggard old man sitting less than three feet away from him. Behind him was a tree several arms thick. The old man looked like he was more than ninety years old. What was striking was that although his face was full of wrinkles, the skin between his eyebrows was extremely smooth and white. It looked quite strange, as if there was something embedded in the middle of his eyebrows. Got a piece of beautiful jade.

The old man said, "Don't be afraid, little one. Tell me where you live and what your name is."

His tone was gentle, which made Xunyi feel a little at ease. He watched the other person stand up slowly before speaking, but he did not answer his question, but asked, "Am I dead?"

The old man shook his head and said, "Not dead yet."

Xunyi was ecstatic when he heard this, swallowed his saliva, looked around and said, "Where is this place? Is it still in the Tianying Sect?"

"That's right, you are in a magic circle." The old man replied calmly.

Feeling that the old man was not hostile, Xunyi blinked and asked, "What is the magic circle? Have you seen my companion? His name is Xiyang, he is as big as me and stronger than me."

The old man had a smile on his face and seemed to be quite interested in the child. He said calmly, "The magic circle is a formation formed by magic. This magic circle is specially used to deal with people who practice special skills. It is very big. It's more than a thousand miles away, and you were the only one who came in just now, and your companions couldn't come in."

Xunyi frowned and asked, "Why?" As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he seemed to understand something, and his brows furrowed even more tightly.

The old man's smile grew stronger and he said, "Is it your turn to answer my question?"

"Well...my name is Xunyi, from Ping'an City. Old man, you are..."

The old man said, "Even if I tell you my name, you won't know it. Tell me, how did you enter this circle?"

Xunyi wanted to curl his lips, but in the end he didn't dare and said, "You have never heard of my name, but I still answered it."

The old man smiled hoarsely and said, "You little guy is quite interesting. Then I will tell you that I am Lord Zhengtian."

"Oh, this is a good name. It's grand and awe-inspiring. God is sometimes unfair and needs to be corrected. Well... to be honest, I really don't know how I got into this place. I fainted before that."

Lord Zhengtian's eyes became scrutinizing, then turned soft, and said, "Do you know that if I hadn't come to rescue you, even if you could survive this period, you would die soon."

Xun Yi believed this, and after a moment's hesitation, he knelt on the ground and said happily, "Thank you very much, old man, for saving my life. So, do you think I have saved my life?"

Lord Zhengtian said, "You should know it yourself."

Xunyi chuckled, moved his arms, and said, "I have never felt so comfortable, and my mind is much refreshed. Compared to before, it seemed like I was plagued by all kinds of illnesses."

"It's much more serious than suffering from all kinds of diseases. Didn't those Taoist priests from the Tianying sect tell you anything?"

Xunyi thought, "I can't remember clearly, but a man named Yushanzi took my companions and me to a small valley, where we met one of his fifth uncles. He seemed to notice something was wrong with me and glared at me. Then my mind fell into a trance, as if my soul had disappeared, and my heart was empty." At this point, he closed his eyes and frowned, and then continued after a while, "I vaguely remember that they mentioned the demon fox."

"Demon fox?" Lord Zhengtian nodded slowly and said, "You little guy has had a lot of adventures. If I weren't afraid of hurting your sanity, I would definitely search your soul and find out what happened." Based on what he knew now. With his remaining cultivation level, if he wanted to search for souls, he might damage the other party's intelligence. This was secondary. The real reason was that searching for souls consumed a lot of spiritual power and consciousness, and he couldn't afford it.

"Searching for souls?" Xunyi subconsciously knelt and crawled back two steps, with a look of caution on his face.

Lord Zhengtian ignored his actions, raised his head and thought for a while, "Even if I don't search for souls, I can guess a certain amount. If there is a demon fox involved, then my doubts will be solved."

Xunyi looked at him eagerly and said, "What on earth is going on? I hope the old man can help this kid clear up his doubts."

Lord Zhengtian said, "As soon as I saw you, I saw that you have been possessed by an evil spirit for many years. I was very puzzled at that time, because if you were possessed by such a powerful spirit, you should have been eaten by it a long time ago, wouldn't you? It's like it is now. Now that I think about it, it must be the demon fox who has been helping you fight against this evil spirit for some unknown reason. You little guy is really blessed with profound blessings. First, you have the fox fairy to protect your soul, and then you come to me. To get rid of evil spirits.”

Xunyi's eyes widened, and he was stunned for a long time before saying, "How could such a thing happen? You didn't lie to me, did you?"

Lord Zhengtian snorted lightly and did not bother to answer.

Xunyi suddenly said angrily, "If that's the case, what's the deep blessing? I'm simply unlucky. Why is the evil spirit haunting me? I lost the memory of my childhood. Is it because of this evil spirit? I'm so unlucky. I don’t even know who my parents are, so I want to

It..." At this point, his heart trembled, and he asked nervously, "Have you really melted it away? Can it not hurt me anymore? "

Lord Zhengtian laughed and said, "It's gone, don't worry." He didn't dare to say that the evil spirit was turned into his own use, for fear that it would scare him.

Xun Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said with some embarrassment, "It's not that I'm afraid of it, it's just that I, a mortal, really don't have the means to do anything about it. Since it has been transformed by you, this hatred is over. But why does it choose to find it?" Fuck me?”

"No one knows this. Maybe it senses that you have good qualifications, or maybe it just happened to meet you. It is just a remnant soul with no consciousness and only acts on instinct."

Xunyi asked curiously, "Does the old man know the origin of this soul?"

There was a hint of loneliness in Lord Zhengtian's eyes, and he slowly shook his head. He knew this soul, and if he hadn't been in the magic circle, he might have sacrificed Xun Yi to help this soul seize the body.

Xunyi, who has been eating at home for a long time, has developed the ability to observe people's emotions very early. He stopped asking questions and changed the subject: "The Taoist Priest of the Tianying Sect said that I have thirty-eight souls. How can I get rid of this evil soul?" How many fox souls are left?" Because he knew the importance of the number of souls, he was very concerned about this issue.

"These two souls are both hidden souls. Those with insufficient cultivation cannot see them. Your soul number is indeed slightly stronger at thirty-eight."

Xun Yi smiled, very happily. The possessing demon had been removed, and his qualifications had not been reduced. In this case, the previous hardships were nothing at all. He walked to the old man with a smile, and calmly Sat down. It would be a lie to say that he has no scruples about the old man, but he has his own plans in mind. Firstly, he still doesn't feel that the old man has any ill intentions towards him. Secondly, since the fox fairy is protecting himself However, Yu Shanzi and Fifth Master Uncle of the Tianying Sect attacked him. He would definitely not be able to hang out in the Tianying Sect in the future. At the same time, he inevitably became suspicious and jealous of these two people and the Tianying Sect. Having already half-stepped into the world of immortality, he naturally refused to return to the mortal world. The old man in front of him might be his next opportunity.
