Absolute Destiny Game

Xiao Jie immediately said respectfully, "Old man, may I ask who you are?"

"Hmph, I am the master of this place. I am the last Qi Refiner in the world - Master Hongchen."

As he spoke, a line of words appeared on the old man's head.

Hongchen Zhenren (Ancient Qi Refiner): Level 59, an outsider. HP: 8752.

What a high level!

However, with the lessons learned from Shen Jizi before, this shock is not much anymore. After all, no matter how strong he is, it is nothing compared to the immortal.

Xiao Jie was not too nervous, but he was still a little surprised. There were still ancient Qi Refiners in this world? Doesn’t it mean that the inheritance of the ancient Qi Refiners has been lost?

This old man is actually level 59, which is 4 levels higher than Master Qingfeng of Xuanxu Palace. Isn't he going to become an immortal soon?

There are weird things, there are weird things.

"It turns out it's Senior Hongchen. Senior is on top. This junior is being reasonable." He clicked on the action module and used the 'salute' action.

The old man didn't appreciate it very much, "Huh, no senior, he's just a wild man in the mountains."

Not to mention, this old man was dressed in tattered clothes and his hair was disheveled. He really looked like a savage.

The Hongchen master sat down in front of Xiao Jie, clasping his feet and asking angrily: "Tell me, which heartless bastard and godless immortal asked you to come?"

"Uh, it's Kaiyang Xingjun and Tianxuan Zhenren."

"Hmph, those two bastards still remember this place, but they somehow tricked you into coming here. Tell me, what benefits did those two bastards promise you?"

Xiao Jie thought to himself that this old man has a lot of resentment. Why does he act like a bastard and a bastard when he talks and shuts up?

At that moment, he said cautiously: "Does the old man have anything to do with those two immortals?"

"What two! All the immortals, they ascended one by one and never came back again. They didn't come to help me. They stayed together for thousands of years and saw me left here alone. But if you don’t ask, every conscience will be eaten by the dog!”

The Hongchen Taoist roared like crazy, his voice echoing continuously in the valley, deafening, and the sound was shaken to a buzzing level.

Xiao Jie saw that his health bar was continuously decreasing, and he was so frightened that he quickly drank medicine to restore his health.

"Senior...Senior, stop yelling."

Fortunately, the old man yelled for a long time and finally stopped.

He looked at Xiao Jie and asked, "Those two bastards never mentioned me?"

"Indeed, no. The two immortals said that there is a legacy of Qi Refining here. That's why I came here. It's just that the senior said just now, 'It's all useless nonsense. No matter how much you read, you won't be able to practice it.' This But what’s the explanation?”

The Hongchen Taoist completely ignored Xiao Jie's question and complained to himself, "Huh, maybe they have forgotten me, but I still remember them. After I ascend, I will definitely have sex with them. Only then can I dispel the hatred in my heart.”

When Xiao Jie heard this, he vaguely guessed the old man's identity.

It was probably the Immortal repeater who didn't run away, and he was probably the worst at cultivating. As a result, everyone else ascended, and he was the only one left.

But being able to live for so long is pretty awesome.

"Senior, why haven't you ascended after all these years?"

"Ascend an egg. Those bastard immortals have sucked all the spiritual energy away. When it's my turn, there is no spiritual energy left to ascend." This Hongchen Taoist may have really grown accustomed to being alone and doesn't care about his image at all.

Xiao Jie was a little puzzled, "Huh? The spiritual energy can still be sucked away? But the immortals said that a great disaster came, causing the spiritual energy to collapse..."

"Hahahaha, those bastards really know how to lie. They sucked away the spiritual energy themselves, gained benefits, and ruined the inheritance of immortality. Naturally, they have to separate themselves from each other.

But how could I be fooled? After so many years in this valley, I thought about the original incident over and over again, and finally figured it out. Think about it, there are countless spiritual energies in the world. If a spiritual practitioner wants to become an immortal, he must need a lot of spiritual energy. , every time this spiritual energy enters the immortal's body, the spiritual energy in the world will naturally decrease by one point.

There are dozens of immortals in Konglao Mountain alone. There are probably hundreds of immortals in the entire Jiuzhou world. This little spiritual energy is not enough to cause trouble for them.

Just suck it in again and again, and then suck it all away.

I was also deceived by lard at the beginning, and believed their lies, saying that everyone should be free to cultivate immortality, not to be blinded by utilitarianism, to be restrained, to help each other, and everyone was sneaking around. I am the only one who is kept in the dark about my practice.

When I was free enough and wanted to become an immortal again, my spiritual energy was all wiped out by these idiots. No matter how much I tried to ascend, I couldn't ascend. Wow, oh, oh, oh, oh, I'm so angry! "

After saying that, he raised his hand and didn't know what moves or spells he used. With a bang, a big hole was blown out of the stone wall.

The stones flew randomly, and Xiao Jie was so shocked that he took a breath of cold air. If the stone hit him, he might not be dead in an instant.

Now I am even more cautious, but don't make the other party angry.

"Oh, these immortals are indeed bastards. Alas, I am also stupid, and I believed those two people's lies! So the path to immortality has been cut off, and I came here in vain?"

Hearing Xiao Jie's angry scolding, the Hongchen Taoist became obviously happy.

"Haha, isn't it? It's just a waste of time. Fortunately, you met me and explained it clearly to you. Otherwise, all your hard work would be in vain, and you would have wasted your years."

"Thank you for your guidance, senior. I will never forget it." Use the action 'kneel down' again.

Xiao Jie said to himself that we should first establish our relationship before we talk about it. You are already my great benefactor. Are you still embarrassed to attack me?

"It's easy to talk, but it's just a matter of opening your mouth."

"Then why doesn't the old man leave this place?"

Taoist Hongchen sighed, "It's not that easy. Although I haven't cultivated to become an immortal, I can still be regarded as a half-step immortal. That's why I can live to this day. Now I only have the last breath of spiritual energy... But if I If you leave this place, I’m afraid your realm will fall immediately.”

Xiao Jie asked in confusion: "Why is this?"

The old man explained: "This spiritual energy is like water, and the spiritual master is like a sponge. As long as he absorbs enough spiritual energy, he can eventually ascend to immortality.

If a sponge is soaked in water, it will naturally absorb more and more water in the body.

But if it is exposed to the air and the scorching sun, what do you think will happen to the sponge? "

"Will you be dehydrated?"

"Hold on! Now that the spiritual energy in this world is exhausted, to me, it is like the dry desert with the scorching sun in the sky. If I leave this place, the spiritual energy in my body will continue to flow away. The spiritual energy in the world is exhausted, and I can't breathe it back. In that case, I will be transformed back into a mortal body in a few days. My whole body is supported by this spiritual energy cultivation. If I transform back into a mortal body, I am afraid that my skin and flesh will turn to mud and my blood and bones will turn to ashes immediately. , I can only survive in the Tianpu Cave in Konglao Mountain."

Xiao Jie thought to himself that this person is really miserable. Others have become immortals, but you are the only one left to die.

He himself was still unwilling to give in. He had paid a huge price for the inheritance of the ancient Qi Refiners. He finally broke through the three tests. "So this Qi Refining Technique is already a dead end?"

"That's natural. Otherwise, why would I say that just now? I just want to remind you."

"But the immortals told me that there are still spiritual energy left in some cave heavens and blessed places in this world, which can be cultivated..."

"Hahaha, fool, look at the Tianpu Cave in Konglao Mountain. Isn't it a paradise? But I have been here for hundreds of years and I haven't become an immortal. Why do you think this is the collapse of the spiritual energy between heaven and earth? Just like the sea has dried up, even if there is still residual water in a few small puddles, it is just a lingering breath. No matter how much you absorb this little spiritual energy, you will not be able to practice anything famous. At most, you can practice a first or second level. It’s just realm.

If you want to become an immortal, it is far away. "

Xiao Jie's heart felt cold for a moment after hearing this. This ancient qi training technique is divided into ten levels. Each time you practice a level, you can unlock a level of ability. In theory, you can continuously become stronger.

However, no matter how strong the first nine levels are, they are still in the realm of mortals. Only by practicing to the tenth level can one ascend to immortality.

If it is only one or two levels, it can only be said to be slightly stronger than ordinary people, and I am afraid it is not even half a level.

Then this profession is a piece of shit.

Xiao Jie did not give up. Since there is such a hidden profession in this game and it is a legendary profession, there must be a way to practice it.

And since the old man in front of me knows so much and has told him so much, he must have something to say.

Now he asked tentatively: "Didn't the old man come up with any ideas in all these years?"

"Hehehe, the boy is very knowledgeable. Yes, I have been thinking hard and concentrating on it for thousands of years, and finally found a glimmer of hope from this inevitable ending - look!"

As he spoke, he suddenly took out a gourd from behind his back.

This gourd is one foot tall, half a foot thick, with a big and round belly. The texture of the gourd is like a lake, with orange oil shining through. There are also many runes and curses engraved on all sides of the gourd. It is extraordinary at first glance.

The old man looked at the gourd with lust in his eyes, "This is the demon refining gourd. It is a magic weapon that I have spent hundreds of years refining with all my wealth. This thing can refine the inner elixir of monsters into spiritual energy. This is This is the key to my victory!

You must know that the demon tribe is born with the ability to absorb spiritual energy. In ancient times, before the Qi Refiners were born, the demon tribe had already mastered the ability to absorb spiritual energy and refine magical powers.

It's just that the demon race is limited by its body shape, and it is difficult to cultivate into an immortal. Only by cultivating a human form first can there be such a chance.

However, there are very few monsters who can cultivate the human form, and most of them are half-human and half-animal.

Although the demon clan has lost its way to absorb spiritual energy and transform into immortals in the past few thousand years, in the past tens of thousands of years, the demon clan has also ruled the world. There are more than hundreds of great demons left in the world. These demon clan absorbed the spiritual energy into their bodies and formed inner beings. Dan, this inner elixir is not easy to pass away. Now, as long as you kill dozens or hundreds of monsters, put these monster inner elixirs into the gourd, and refine the spiritual energy, you can naturally continue to advance, and finally ascend to immortality. "

Xiao Jie was immediately happy after hearing this, but then he became confused.

Why is this old man telling me so much? There’s no way you’d be kind enough to give the gourd to yourself, right?

There is no such thing as pie in the sky in this world.

"Senior, why are you telling me this to your juniors?"

The Hongchen Taoist's eyes shone brightly and he laughed wildly, "Hahaha, kid, to be honest, you are lucky today. I think I am destined to you. As long as you promise me one thing, I will give this gourd to you." How about giving it to you and helping you become an immortal?"

Xiao Jie thought to himself, there must be a ghost here.

But he said excitedly: "Oh, that's really great, but how can I be so blessed, but I don't know what the senior wants the junior to do?"

"It's not difficult to do what I ask you to do. When you ascend to become an immortal and have a lot of skills, I will ask you to kill a few thousand-year-old monsters, refine the inner elixir into spiritual power, bring it to me, and help me achieve the last step of immortality. What do you think?"

[System prompt: Trigger the task [The Promise of the Red Dust Taoist].

Task description: You met an ancient Qi-refining master, the Red Dust Taoist, in the Tianpu Cave. The other party hopes to reach an agreement with you and ask you to help him become an immortal in exchange for the demon-refining gourd.

Task goal: Help the Red Dust Taoist become an immortal.

Task reward: Demon-refining gourd (obtained in advance). ]

So that's it.

Xiao Jie suddenly realized it, but he still felt something was wrong in his heart. Does the other party trust him so much? The two have just met.

And it always feels a little too easy.

Another thing is that refining the inner elixir of the monster race and absorbing the spiritual energy in it to become an immortal, this method always feels a little weird, not like the proper immortal way.

The Taoist Red Dust continued, "How about this deal? As long as you swear to help me become an immortal, I will give it to you.

If you don't agree, then you will never have the chance to become an immortal again."

Xiao Jie was not in a hurry to agree. These words were all one-sided words from the other party. What if they were false?

There are too many things that NPCs in this game do to deceive people, and the other party is a neutral unit, so it always feels unreliable.

"Senior, can you allow me to consider it?"

"Of course, you can consider it casually." Taoist Red Dust said, but pretended to be indifferent and left on his own. Although he looked like an old man, his body was extremely light and agile. He could jump dozens of meters away at random. He jumped into a cave on the stone wall in a few steps and lay down to sleep in it.

Xiao Jie continued to read the content of the Qi Refining Technique on the stone wall. Regardless of whether he agreed to this task or not, he would learn this ancient Qi Refining Technique first.

Read the ancient Qi Refining Technique from beginning to end.

[System prompt: You have learned a new skill [Ancient Qigong], you can check it in the skill list. ]

Xiao Jie was delighted, he didn't expect it to be so easy!
