Daqin arrests alchemists, what does it matter to me as a qi refiner?

Chapter 264 Li Bai’s death, the path of spiritual practice

If he really wanted to, Li Bai could only release a fireball, and the mana in his body would have been exhausted!

Although the magic power is low, the benefits brought by practice are far more than that.

At least Li Bai's current level of fitness is not comparable to that of ordinary people.

Even if he doesn't have a weapon in hand, ordinary three or five big men are no match for Li Bai. If he has the long sword that he is best at, even if one is against ten, it is no problem.

From this time on, Li Bai has opened a fundamental gap with ordinary people.

On the other side, Dahuang, now has his own name, Huang Yu. This name was given by Li Bai, which means becoming immortal.

Huang Yu's cultivation progress is also not slow. Under Muchun's guidance, Huang Yu also has a trace of his own magic power in his body, and he is not far away from refining the horizontal bone between his throat.

It won't be long before he can speak human words.

As for the road ahead, they don't need Qin Tian to keep an eye on them. They have to rely on their own efforts to practice.

Being able to reach the stage of Qi training is enough to prove that Qin Tian's method has no problems.

But Qin Tian was still not satisfied with this, because the method he provided was not simple and easy to understand, and the cultivation speed was too slow.

This method has only just reached the point where it can be used, and it does not meet Qin Tian's requirements at all.

Therefore, Qin Tian needs more samples and more time to perfect the basic cultivation method.

The two parties parted ways.

"Once you are a master, you are always a father. Master is above. Please bow to me as a disciple!" Li Bai saluted Qin Tian.

Although he had known that this day would come sooner or later, Li Bai was still a little sad when the real separation came.

Qin Tian's influence on Li Bai was profound. Qin Tian almost recast Li Bai's world view.

For Li Bai, Qin Tianen Tong was reinvented. Qin Tian allowed him to see the most real side of the world, and even led him on the path of spiritual practice.

If possible, Li Bai would be willing to follow Qin Tian for the rest of his life and would not leave.

But Qin Tian doesn't need such a follower.

Qin Tian felt that Li Bai should have his own path and pursuit, instead of following him to seek the illusory way to immortality.

He himself is not sure whether he can find freedom and liberation, so how can he lead others to seek immortality?

If you follow yourself to practice, there will be no time in the mountains, and a retreat will last for tens or hundreds of years, then wouldn't all Li Bai's talents be wasted?

Therefore, even though Li Bai repeatedly begged, Qin Tian still firmly let him pursue his own ideals instead of following his own practice.

In the end, Li Bai had no choice but to agree.

"Don't worry about it." Qin Tian said calmly: "I have taught you the method of cultivation. If you practice it with concentration, you and I will eventually see each other again after thousands of years."

Of course, if Li Bai's practice does not go well, he will probably face his own aging and death like all other living beings.

This is Li Bai's own choice and destiny, and Qin Tian will not interfere.

Qin Tian was curious about what kind of path Li Bai would take without him.

Before parting, Li Bai gave Qin Tian a poem "Farewell to My Master at the foot of Zhong Nan Mountain".

This poem deeply expresses Li Bai's admiration and reluctance for Qin Tian.

This poem was not widely circulated, and it could even be said that no one knew about it. It was not discovered until more than a thousand years later, and it was proved that it was indeed written by Li Bai.

But who the master in the poem is has triggered countless discussions among later generations.

The master in the poem is described by Li Bai as omnipotent in heaven and earth, just like the immortal in legend.

Later generations believe that this poem was probably the enlightenment of Li Bai on his spiritual journey. However, in that barbaric era, it was beyond ordinary people's imagination to have such a powerful immortal.

Therefore, the identity of the master in this poem has also become a mystery.

……

After the separation, Li Bai continued his study tour, during which he also gained quite a reputation.

However, Li Bai was a free and unrestrained person. After parting with Qin Tian, ​​he fell in love with the mountains and rivers, so his cultivation naturally gradually slowed down.

In the end, Li Bai failed to break through the shackles of Qi refining.

On the contrary, the yellow dog next to him made great progress, not only refining the bones in his throat, but also almost becoming a human being.

His lifespan is naturally far longer than that of Li Bai.

But he was unwilling to watch Li Bai grow old and die. Instead, he established a life connection with Li Bai, and the two lived and died together.

In the end, the two shared a life span of ninety-three years and died together.

Qin Tian and Li Bai have not seen each other since they separated that day.

Throughout his life, Li Bai missed the master who led him on the path of spiritual practice.

In his later years, he even regretted that he was a playful boy and was blinded by the prosperity of the world, so he failed to practice seriously.

Therefore, in his later years, Li Bai's poems were mostly elegiac, lamenting the passage of time and advising young people not to waste time and cherish their youth.

However, after the age of sixty, few of Li Bai's poems have been circulated.

In the last thirty years of his life, he has been practicing hard and diligently, hoping to break through the shackles of Qi refining.

It's just that time has no mercy, and it is difficult for him to make breakthroughs at his old age.

But if he had not concentrated on practicing in seclusion in his later years, Li Bai would have died early due to the hidden injuries caused by fighting with others when he was young, even when he was sixty or seventy years old.

After parting ways with Qin Tian, ​​Li Bai traveled around to study. As a chivalrous man, he relied on his skills to punish evildoers, fight against others, and leave behind the legend of the Green Lotus Sword Immortal.

He was indeed very strong during the Qi refining period, but he would still be injured, poisoned, and die.

If Huang Yu hadn't forgotten to practice, Li Bai would have been killed by a traitor and died in an unknown corner.

Before he died, Li Bai looked back on his life. Although he had regrets, he did not regret it.

Once again, facing those disgusting crimes, Li Bai still would not back down even though he knew the danger was right in front of him.

If it were to happen again, Li Bai felt that he would no longer be lost in the prosperity of the world and the praise of others, and would relax in his cultivation.

Before he died, Li Bai actually saw Qin Tian again.

"Teacher...Master...is this not an illusion?"

Li Bai was now an old man with a hoarse voice.

"No, this is not an illusion." Qin Tian said gently.

Qin Tian still has some feelings for himself, the first human disciple in the true sense.

Not only because he is a rare talent in the world, but also because Li Bai is a disciple taught by himself.

"I'm sorry, Master, for disappointing you." Li Bai smiled bitterly and said, "It seems that your choice back then was correct. I was indeed not a good disciple..."

"Do you regret it?" Qin Tian asked softly: "Have you ever regretted anything you did to punish rape and eliminate evil?"

"What if we ignore those things and save the time to practice?"

Li Bai was startled, and then said: "I don't regret it, my disciple never regrets it!"

Qin Tian nodded with satisfaction: "Since you don't regret it, why do you want to disappoint me?"

"You have accomplished what you want to do, so what if your cultivation level is not high?" Qin Tian said with a smile: "Your life has not been wasted. This is the greatest recognition for me!"

"If you concentrate on cultivation like me and don't care about worldly affairs, you will be disappointed!"

Qin Tian asked: "Do you think that because of your actions, the world has changed even a little for the better?"

Li Bai nodded slightly.

"Then your life is meaningful and not a waste, and I won't be disappointed because of it!"

"Now, if you still miss this world, I can give you a chance as a teacher."

As the first true human cultivator in the world, Li Bai's luck is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

It is not only Huang Yu's credit for saving so many dangers, but the bigger reason is that Li Bai's luck is strong enough.

Of course, he can't compare with Qin Tian.

But Qin Tian has long been no longer within the constraints of heaven in this world, so if we really want to say it, Li Bai is indeed the first human practitioner in this world.

If Li Bai is willing, he can naturally choose to sleep and see what the world will be like thousands of years from now.

This will not waste too much of Qin Tian's strength, because he has received the attention of Heaven and has good luck.

Tiandao was not willing to just watch Li Bai die.

When Li Bai figured out what Qin Tian was talking about, he suddenly became excited.

"Do I have... another chance?"

Qin Tian paused, then nodded and said: "This is indeed another chance!"

After thousands of years of cultivation, Li Bai was naturally able to live again, starting from his youth.

This is completely different from other sleepers.

Others were just frozen in time and woke up again. Although thousands of years of sleeping had accumulated a lot of vitality in their bodies, in the final analysis, they were still old people.

Their bodies will not change much from before death.

But after thousands of years of slumber, Li Bai was really able to rejuvenate and do it again!

This is the preferential treatment given to Li Bai by Heaven.

Li Bai closed his eyes with satisfaction: "Thank you Master for the gift."

He slowly fell into a deep sleep.

Qin Tian shook his head slightly: "It's not me you should be grateful for, but yourself who speaks up and punishes rape and eliminates evil!"

It was precisely because of Li Bai's actions that Heaven favored him and gave Li Bai another chance.

So if Li Bai comes again, he should be grateful not to Qin Tian, ​​but to himself who was willing to take action!
Li Bai fell into a deep sleep. Thousands of years later, he will wake up together with those who fell into a deep sleep.

……

Standing in front of the place where Li Bai slept, Qin Tian fell into deep thought.

He has not been idle these past few decades.

After parting ways with Li Bai, Qin Tian began to look for new disciples.

Of course, this process was not smooth. Over the past few decades, Qin Tian had taught only a dozen disciples in total.

Even if all kinds of animals are added, the number does not exceed thirty.

There are good and bad among these disciples.

After gaining power, some people gradually lost themselves and began to do evil.

A considerable number of those who did evil were killed by Li Bai himself.

The few remaining ones died in the hands of mortals, and the rest were cleaned up by Qin Tian himself.

It's interesting to say that among these people, there are many things to do.

In particular, one of the fox demons actually ran into the human world and became a dancer after transforming into a different person. She would change her appearance every ten years.

She has lived a relaxed and happy life for decades, and until now she is still working as an oiran somewhere.

After all, people and animals have different ideas and moral concepts, and Qin Tian has never been harsh on her.

As long as she doesn't do anything harmful to nature, it's her own freedom to choose her life.

There are also human monks who rely on their abilities far beyond ordinary people to become officials in the imperial examination and benefit one side.

Of course, there are people like Li Bai who are chivalrous and righteous, but most people's endings are not as good as Li Bai's.

They don't have Li Bai's luck. Most of them die helplessly because of some frame-up, and very few of them die well.

After so many years of accumulation, Qin Tian also discovered the flaws in the cultivation method he compiled.

Therefore, he decided to retreat once, completely perfect it, and then spread it out.

As for the current Tang Dynasty... it is no longer within Qin Tian's consideration.

Ever since the Anshi Rebellion fifty years ago, the Tang Dynasty has been in decline.

From top to bottom, there are very few people who can penetrate Qin Tian's eyes.

So he doesn't plan to start with Datang.

Wait until the next time you go out and see when it is before making a decision.

If the next time he comes out of seclusion, a new dynasty has changed in this world, Qin Tian will naturally be happy.

If the situation in the world is not yet stable, or if the Tang Dynasty has not yet perished, Qin Tian doesn't mind being a promoter.

Anyway, we are all going to change this world. It doesn't make much difference whether we do it sooner or later.

After sending Li Bai away, Qin Tian began to retreat.

During the years that Qin Tian had been in seclusion, the world had changed a lot.

The first was the more than twenty disciples Qin Tian had taught before. Although most of them died on the way, there were still many who survived.

These people didn't want to lose all their abilities, so they accepted disciples one after another.

Except for that vixen.

And the disciples of these people's disciples also had their own disciples, so the method of cultivation began to spread in the world.

Unfortunately, it is extremely difficult to find someone with the qualifications to practice, so these people are only a minority group after all.

There are also many people who choose to work for the imperial court, but their three-legged cats' skills are really beyond the realm of elegance.

It's enough to deal with ordinary people, but in front of a real army, you only have to pay a slightly higher price to capture them.

Therefore, the emergence of this group of practitioners has not essentially had a great impact on the changes in the political situation in the world.

The dynasty that deserves to perish will not change its fate because of this short-lived practitioner.

On the other hand, those practitioners, because of the issue of team selection in political struggles, died in large numbers before others could take action.

Therefore, from the beginning to the end, the group of these practitioners failed to expand, and at most there were only more than a hundred people.

By the end of the Tang Dynasty, there were only a dozen of these people left!
