Data cultivation, I observe immortality in the five elements

Chapter 26 The obsession with immortality

“When my senior brother and I were passing by the mountains outside, we saw a man knocked unconscious and then buried alive.

It was from his mouth that I learned that there was a Taoist in the town who specialized in refining the Shouyuan Pill using the Heart of Innocence.

I wonder if the elders of the Bamboo tribe have ever heard of it? "

Luo Yan's gaze shifted from the teapot to the pond, where there was a strange purple lotus plant with a faint purple-gold fluorescence.

"Do you recognize my Purple Golden Lotus?" Zhu Xinghai asked curiously.

"I have seen a picture in the elixir illustration. I heard that it takes three years to bloom, three years to bear fruit, and ten years to mature. It is considered a treasure among first-class elixirs."

Zhu Xinghai shook his head proudly:

"What my friend said is true.

Originally, I planted a pond full of purple lilies, but in the end, only this purple lily survived.

Do you know why? "

Luo Yan was a little stunned. He used his spiritual consciousness to sense it, and only found the rich spiritual energy on the lotus pods.

What’s special?

Luo Yan frowned and thought quietly.

“It’s normal for my little friend not to know.

It was only after I raised this Purple Lotus that I discovered its secrets.

To plant Nasturtium, you need to plant several plants together, and then when it blooms in the first three years, it will absorb the spiritual energy from other Nasturtiums.

In three years, only one-third of the pond was filled with golden lotus.

Then, the cycle repeats, results, and maturity.

It took ten years for the purple lotus in my pond to finally become this one!

My little friend, even though it’s just sitting alone on the surface of the water, there are actually its root system under the entire pond. "

Luo Yan was temporarily unsure of the old man's intentions, but he still responded with a gentle smile:

"It seems that this golden lotus will devour its own kind and then support its own growth. Unexpectedly, the fragrance of the flower is overflowing, but it gathers the power of the entire pond."

Zhu Xinghai threw a small petal into the teapot and poured boiling water on it, instantly bursting out a stream of delicate fragrance, refreshing the heart and lungs.

"The tea I make from purple nasturtium flowers cannot be brewed for too long. It just needs to be boiled with hot water. It is not common in the outside world."

Zhu Xinghai poured himself another half cup.

"Young friend Luo's words are not wrong.

The Purple Lotus that has become a higher grade will be able to gather more spiritual energy from heaven and earth. Ten years later, the new generation of Purple Lotus will have more abundant spiritual energy.

As time goes by, it is not difficult for the Purple Lotus to eventually grow into a second- and third-level elixir.

What do you think of the first purple lotus? "

Luo Yan raised his head in astonishment and looked at the old man Gu Zuoyan in front of him. He seemed to understand the meaning.

Compare yourself to the golden lotus, and the roots under the pond are the small town villagers.

The two are essentially one, so what kind of harm can they do?

If he understood his meaning correctly, Luo Yan could not help but feel the hair on his body standing on end at this moment.

This old man is really not a good person!

"When I was young, I was as high-spirited as my little friend. Unfortunately, my cultivation aptitude is really poor. After practicing for forty years, I am only at the third level of Qi Refining.

Frustrated, the old man finally decided to walk out of the mountain gate.

But I grew up in the sect since I was a child. If I didn’t stay in the sect, where else could I go?

Wandering aimlessly, I came here accidentally and saw this village with the same surname as my own.

I couldn't help but feel a little emotional in my heart, so I stayed.

At that time, Zhushan Town was not called a town yet, it was just a small mountain village with no more than 120 households.

Thanks to Lao Lao's efforts, after nearly a hundred years, it has developed from a remote mountain village to a small town with a population of two to three thousand.

The old man thought he had done a great job. "

Zhu Xinghai began to talk about the past.

Maybe there are very few people who have been here, Zhu Xinghai is not too young, and he is much more cheerful.

In the eyes of the people of Zhushan Town, Mr. Zu is a serious person.

actually not. Zhu Xinghai was just too lazy to pay attention to him.

He is a dignified immortal cultivator. Even if his cultivation is limited by his talent, he is still different from ordinary people.

What else is there to talk about?

Dragons do not coexist with snakes, and tigers do not coexist with dogs. This is an eternal truth.

Zhu Xinghai came to Zhushan Town just to take care of himself for the rest of his life, not to talk nonsense with those mountain people.

And since he was here, the beasts in the mountains have never come to Zhushan Town again.

Zhu Xinghai thinks that his role is quite big.

If it weren't for him, where would Zhushan Town be today?

Zhu Xinghai believes that his contribution is more than everyone in the town combined. Isn't it normal to ask for some interest now?

After all, without him, Zhushan Town would have been gone long ago.

"But the old man is getting older and has only a few more years to live.

You said that if I die, what will happen to Zhushan Town?

What else can be done with the lives of these two to three thousand people?

After all, there are a lot of snakes, insects and beasts outside this mountain range. If it weren't for the old man who has been in charge these years, this village would have disappeared long ago.

How could it be as prosperous as it is now!

Fortunately, when I went to the mountains to collect herbs a few years ago, I met a fellow Taoist from another country. We had a great conversation and I invited him to stay."

After hearing this, Luo Yan finally understood and everything became clear.

Zhu Xinghai regards the people of Zhushan Town as his private property.

Under his protection, the people of Zhushan Town grew up safely, just like the purple lotus in the pond, absorbing the vitality of its kind to grow.

In the end there was only one left.

Typical gangster thinking and logic.

"So, when you learned that the Taoist could refine the Shou Yuan Dan, you seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw.

You two hit it off right away, one deceives people in the town, and the other hides behind his back and secretly refines elixirs with his innocent heart.

In order to prevent greater public outrage, they also know how to win over some people and form a chain of common interests.

is that so? My dear old man! "

Luo Yan's tone was very calm, the smile on his face disappeared, and there was no fluctuation in his eyes like a deep pool.

There is no wave in the ancient well!

"Haha, little friend Luo is really smart!

I know that person is evil, but I can't help it. If I didn't rely on this longevity pill to hang on to my life, I would have died long ago.

How can I still survive to this day?

I am only one hundred and thirty-seven years old this year. I don’t want to die. I haven’t lived enough!

Am I treating them badly? Those untouchables actually dare to secretly go find outsiders to complain!

It seems that I am too kind to them and I have to discipline them well, otherwise I will tell outsiders everything! "

Zhu Xinghai's face showed a kind of madness.

He believed that Luo Yan's arrival was because some people in the small town were dissatisfied and went to the outside world to complain, and then they were attracted.

"Little friend Luo, I see that your eyes just rested on the elixirs outside the medicine garden. You must be interested in those elixirs, right?

As long as you can pretend that nothing happened, you can take whatever elixir you have in the garden! "

Zhu Xinghai's crazy smile suddenly disappeared, his eyes were bloodshot, and he stared at Luo Yan.

The water in the pool was stirred by his spiritual power and turned into a water sword hovering in the air.

It seems like he will take action at the next moment!

"Actually, what I'm most curious about is, how did you hide it from the law enforcement hall?"

Luo Yan didn't pay attention to Zhu Xinghai's tense posture at all, and instead asked himself.

Zhu Xinghai laughed loudly when he heard this:

"What happened to the Law Enforcement Hall?

Do you expect these lofty monks to lower their heads and take a look at the mortal world?

Every few years, they would come to the town to roughly count the number of people, and then check whether the newborns in recent years had spiritual roots.

As long as the total population doesn't drop too much, they won't care about anything else! "

"Little friend Luo, what are your thoughts?

Although there are not many elixirs in my garden, they are worth dozens of spiritual stones.

As long as you turn a blind eye to today's events, these are yours.

For you, it’s just a piece of cake! "
