Absolute Destiny Game

Xiao Jie felt bad at first glance, this worldly old man was afraid that he was about to reveal his true nature.

There are some things that we can all deal with as long as we don't break up, but once we break up, it's really going to be bad.

He said hurriedly: "Senior is right. I have accepted this task. Please give the Demon Refining Gourd to me."

The Hongchen Taoist laughed loudly and said: "Hahahaha, you are such an ignorant boy. What if I gave the gourd to you directly and you kidnapped me? How can such a rare treasure in the world be given to others so easily?"

Xiao Jie thought to himself, "Didn't you want to help me when you got on the pole?" He fell down and said this.

"What does senior mean?"

"Of course I have to swear an oath of divine punishment and swear it on my own blood. Only then can I entrust this gourd to you."

The Oath of Divine Punishment is a special mechanism in this game. It is an oath to heaven. Once the oath is violated, a [Heavenly Tribulation] punishment will be triggered. The worse the player's oath-breaking behavior, the higher the level of [Heavenly Tribulation] triggered.

I used it once when I was learning bestiality from Old Goat.

Xiao Jie thought to himself that this old man was not easy to fool, but fortunately I had a countermeasure already.

Isn’t it just a vow? I’ll just send you one.

"Senior, what I'm saying is, junior, I swear, I swear, after I become an immortal, I must—"

"Stop, stop, stop! This is not how you made the oath. I will help you become an immortal, and you will do things for me. Naturally, this oath must be made in accordance with my requirements."

As he spoke, Taoist Hongchen stretched out his hand and took out a bundle of scrolls from his sleeve. He rummaged around and finally found an old scroll that was somewhat yellowed.

"I found it, I found it, this is what I was looking for."

As he spoke, he shook the scroll slightly and spread it out in front of Xiao Jie. The words on the scroll shone with golden light and looked very extraordinary.

"Among my friends who are qigong practitioners, there is Linglongzi, who is the best at manipulating words, writing spells and drawing talismans. He has made many scrolls of oaths. He once told me that if one day I want to swear oaths to others, I can It comes in handy. As long as you sign a blood pact, it will be effective. If you violate the oath, you will be punished by God."

"Come on, little brother, I have already made up an oath for you, just read it according to it."

System prompts: Master Hongchen gives you the item [Blood Oath Ancient Scroll].

Xiao Jie opened his backpack and looked at the item description, and his eyelids suddenly jumped.

[Blood Oath Scroll (Quest Item)

Use: Take an oath of divine punishment. Once the oath is violated, an [Enhanced Heavenly Tribulation] will be triggered.

Item introduction: An ancient scroll. It is said that the words contain powerful power. The ancient Qigong practitioners realized that they could not break their promises easily, otherwise something bad would inevitably happen, so they created this object. . 】

The Hongchen Taoist said: "Now you follow me and recite - I, 'Hidden Moon Sui Feng', was helped by Master Hongchen today to obtain the wonderful method of refining qi and the treasure of the Immortal Gourd. When I succeed in refining qi, the gold When the elixir is condensed and before ascending to the immortal position, it is necessary to come to Konglao Mountain to meet the real person, practice immortality together, and help him become an immortal.

If I violate this oath, I will lose all my spiritual energy, my golden elixir will be shattered, and my path to immortality will disintegrate. Heaven and earth are witnesses, and the sun and moon can serve as a reference. I have sworn a blood oath, and no one dares to disobey! "

Listening to Master Hongchen's rhetoric, Xiao Jie secretly yelled at me, "You've got all this stuff ready, you're going to kill me!"

'When my golden elixir is condensed, before I ascend to the immortal position'... This is a calculated decision to seize my golden elixir. It won't work if the golden elixir has not yet become a step earlier, and it won't work if it becomes an immortal a step later.

The so-called helping him become an immortal means that his spiritual power is naturally taken away by him. If he does not help him become an immortal, "all his magic power will be lost, the golden elixir will be broken, and the path to immortality will collapse." Isn't that exactly the fate of other Qi refiners? ?

No matter what, I have to offer the golden elixir to make him an immortal.

Xiao Jie secretly screamed in pain and was thinking about how to break the situation.

A dialogue option suddenly popped up in front of me.

Option 1: I swear... (accept the task).

Option 2: What the senior said, but I apologize that I cannot accept it (the favorability of the real person in Hongchen is -30).

Option 3: Please allow the juniors to think about it again (Honchen’s favorability is -10).

Option 4: Huh, you stinking Taoist priest, just give me all the things you have. I am too lazy to pay attention to you, so hand over the gourd quickly, otherwise I will make you look good (trigger combat).

This... this... this...

None of the options seems very reliable. Why is it that human relations are not triggered at this critical moment?

Xiao Jie's brain was working rapidly. It was definitely impossible to refuse now. Hongchen Taoist's favorability as a neutral unit was not very high. If it was -30, he would probably enter a battle.

As for option 3, it's quite embarrassing. It can only be said to delay a little time. Either enter the battle, or Taoist Hongchen will not let you leave. You can delay it for a few hours at most. In the end, you still have to choose.

If you give up everything, you can use the light-escape talisman to dodge people.

But it’s completely unacceptable to just leave after you’ve come here.

As for option 4...don't even think about it.

Xiao Jie's mind raced, and he had an idea in an instant. The only option he could use now was option 1. Option 1 only said that he had to swear, but it did not specify the content of the oath. Maybe he could play a word game with it.

"I swear to God, I collected this gourd today with the help of Senior Hongchen. When I become an immortal in the future, I will definitely help Senior Hongchen become an immortal together with me..."

Every time he recited a word, a golden character appeared on the ancient blood oath scroll. However, just halfway through the oath, the Hongchen master shouted angrily - "Stop!"

This sound made the speakers buzz.

Looking at the Red Dust Master again, his face was as black as iron, and his expression was even more ferocious and fierce.

The murderous intent in his eyes could not be hidden.

"Boy, you are not reading it right!"

Xiao Jie's scalp was numb. Damn, why is this NPC so difficult to talk to?

The ones I met before were not so violent.

"Ah, isn't it right? I think it's about the same. What's wrong?" Xiao Jie tried his best to pretend to be confused, but he thought to himself that it was not good. This old man was too serious.

"I'm talking about the time when the golden elixir condenses, before ascending to immortality."

"There's something wrong with the Taoist's oath. Didn't you say that after I become an immortal and have powerful immortal power, I will kill the demon and take the elixir for you?"

"Hmph, don't think I don't know what you're thinking, kid. If you really become an immortal, how can this oath restrain you? Even the heavenly tribulation can't do anything to a true immortal.

Since you're going to swear, you must help me complete this before you become an immortal. You don't have to worry about it. What does it matter if you become an immortal a step earlier or later? If I become an immortal first, you will naturally benefit from it. Come on, swear quickly so that I can give you treasures. Don't refuse a toast and drink a penalty."

Xiao Jie was still trying to talk back.

"Oh, senior, your oath is too long. I can't remember it clearly at the moment. It's a pity that the blood oath scroll has been used. How about leaving it like this?"

"How can you make up an oath casually? You haven't finished reading it yet, so it naturally doesn't count. Just send another one - as for the blood oath scroll, I have a lot of them here."

System prompt: Taoist Hongchen gave you a [Blood Oath Scroll].

Xiao Jie didn't expect there was such a trick. He thought the other party could only make the best of a bad situation...

Taoist Hongchen saw that Xiao Jie was still annoyed, and shouted coldly: "Why, are you trying to fool me? Or do you not want to work for me at all?"

The tone became increasingly fierce, and the expression became increasingly ferocious.

The aura around Taoist Hongchen spread, and even the stones on the ground floated up, and the name above his head flashed, turning red for a while and then yellow for a while.

Xiao Jie was frightened and said hurriedly: "Of course not, the boy is sincere!"

"Then renew the oath. I advise you to think it over and don't do anything. Otherwise, I will never show mercy to those who fool me."

This is the real purpose.

Xiao Jie secretly complained in his heart, but at this time he was at the mercy of others, so he had to obey.

"I, 'Yin Yue Sui Feng', was helped by the Red Dust Immortal today, and got the wonderful method of refining qi and the treasure of the immortal gourd. When I succeed in refining qi and the golden elixir condenses, before ascending to the immortal position, I must come to Konglao Mountain to meet with the immortal, practice immortality together, and help him become an immortal..."

As Xiao Jie finished reading, the complete content of the oath appeared on the blood oath scroll.

Xiao Jie clicked to use - swear by blood.

The red word -1 immediately appeared above his head.

I saw a trace of blood on the scroll, and then it turned into a wisp of green smoke, went straight up to the sky, and disappeared.

But a BUFF appeared on Xiao Jie's head.

He took a look at the top of the character's head.

[Heavenly Punishment Oath: You have made a Heavenly Punishment Oath. Once the oath is triggered, you will be subject to a [Strengthening Heavenly Tribulation].

"That's great, that's great, hahaha, kid, I really didn't make a mistake. Take it, this treasure is now yours."

System prompt: Taoist Hongchen gave you the item [Immortal Gourd].

(Damn, even the name is fake, it was clearly said to be a demon refining gourd before.)

Click on the backpack to check.

[Immortal Gourd (Magic Weapon)

Gourd special effect: Refining. (Refine the inner elixir in the gourd and convert it into original spiritual power.)

Gourd special effect: Absorbing spirit. (Absorb the original spiritual energy in the gourd and increase your spiritual energy value-usage conditions: Refining Qi).

Current spiritual energy value: 0/3000.

Current number of inner elixirs: 0.

Item description: A treasure given by a mysterious Taoist to ancient Qi-refining practitioners. It is said that the ancient Qi-refining practitioners were unable to cultivate immortality due to the thin spiritual energy, and thus fell into despair. However, because of the treasure given by the mysterious Taoist, they regained hope and got a chance to become immortals. This is a magical item that can change fate against the will of heaven. 】

The item is really good, but the oath of this mission is a bit of a rip-off.

Given by a mysterious Taoist? A mysterious Taoist?

Xiao Jie's heart suddenly moved. Damn, could it be the real master behind the crazy Taoist?

The more he thought about it, the more he felt it was possible. Foolish Taoist, Crazy Taoist, Evil Taoist - Mysterious Taoist, it feels very regular.

What is the purpose of this person giving the Immortal Gourd to this group of Qi-refining practitioners?

Xiao Jie had a feeling that this mysterious Taoist should be a very important character in the whole game. If he keeps messing around like this, he will definitely become a big villain in the game in the later stage, and maybe he will become a version BOSS in the future.

"How is it, are you satisfied?"

"Very satisfied, by the way, senior——"

"Just call me Taoist friend, since you have become a member of the Qi Refiner today, we should naturally address you as Taoist friend."

"Daoist Hongchen, do we Qi Refiners have any spells inherited? How about teaching me a few tricks, otherwise I am afraid I am not capable of exorcising demons."

Anyway, the oath has been made, and I have to admit it even if I don't want to, so I might as well take this opportunity to get some benefits.

The Taoist Hongchen shook his head, "The only purpose of us Qigong practitioners is to cultivate our body and Qigong, achieve immortality, and ascend to become immortals. Therefore, most of us do not like to fight with others, and we have not developed any magic. After all, as long as we become immortals, we can naturally use immortal magic, and there is no need to waste energy.

So Qigong practitioners like us are not good at magic.

Of course, each Qigong practitioner has different interests and hobbies. Some not only cultivate Qigong, but also learn Taoism and cultivate the spirit, or learn some witchcraft and magic. Some practice swords, knives, fists and feet. Relying on the long years and long lifespan, they have also practiced some tricks. If you want to learn, just go to the stone wall to find it."

Xiao Jie thought that it would not be so miserable. Wouldn't it be completely impossible to improve the combat effectiveness of the Qigong practitioner? The only skill [Eat Wind and Drink Dew] is still a daily skill.

"Daoyou Hongchen, to be honest, I have also seen the things on the stone wall, but I can't learn them because of my limited talent. Is there no magic that can be used in Qi Refining?"

After all, he is an ancient magician, so he should know a few tricks, right?

Chen Zhenren nodded, "It's not that there is no magic at all. Qi Refining can control the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and this spiritual energy of heaven and earth is extraordinary. It can be used to perform many methods, but this precious spiritual energy is naturally used to refine qi and strengthen the body first. It is too wasteful to use it to perform magic.

Back then, we also studied some of the most basic applications, but we didn't develop it further.

If you want to learn, I can teach you, but your realm is too low. I'm afraid you can't learn too high, so you can only start from the most basic."

Xiao Jie thought that it would be fine, after all, it is a magic.

"The basics are good. Please teach me."

"Then I will teach you the 'Qi Healing Technique' that you can learn after you reach the entry level. Watch carefully!"

Then I saw the Taoist Hongchen casually cut a wound on his arm, a burst of white light floated on his hand, and the wound healed naturally.

System prompt: Taoist Hongchen teaches you the skill 'Qi Healing Technique'.

[Qi Healing Technique (Qi Refining Method)

Passive: Activate. Restore 1 health point per second (the higher your Qi Refining Technique level, the higher the recovery effect).

Active: Activate. Consume spiritual energy to heal your body, and completely restore your lost health within 10 seconds. Every 10 health points restored will permanently consume 1 spiritual energy point (warning: using this skill may cause your realm to fall).

Skill introduction: The most basic application of spiritual energy by Qi Refiners, using spiritual energy to heal damaged bodies. Qi Refiners can practice for hundreds or thousands of years, so protecting their own bodies is the top priority. 】

Xiao Jie frowned. This skill is not that powerful.

The passive effect is dispensable. It takes one point of blood per second. If you rely on this to recover blood in battle, it will be fatal.

Although the active effect is powerful, it will permanently consume the spiritual energy value. I only have 1,000 spiritual energy points in total. Wouldn’t it be a loss of realm if I use it a few times?

The spiritual energy can’t be self-recovered, and it’s very difficult to use.

But well, at least it can be regarded as a life-saving skill. If I have more than 300 blood points and it is fully recovered in 10 seconds, it is almost the same as the recovery speed of drinking a red bottle.

The key is that this thing can also be used in reality, which is very good.

"Anything else?"

"Of course there is, but if you want to learn more, you have to wait until your realm is improved, then come find me.

Of course, you can also look for the relics left by other ancient Qi-refining masters or immortals, and maybe you can find something. Those people like to hide their invented spells in ancient tombs, secret rooms and other places."

Xiao Jie thought that it was really hard for this Qi-refining master to learn a skill, and it looked like the number of skills was quite limited.

It was completely incomparable to the real magic professions like Taoist priests, but this was the price to pay for becoming an immortal. There was no way, you couldn't have your cake and eat it too.

"Fellow Daoist Suifeng, when are you going to leave?"

"Without further delay, I'll leave now."

Xiao Jie thought that I was too lazy to stay with you any longer, so he walked a few steps and turned back.

"By the way, fellow Daoist Hongchen, what should we do with the maze outside?"

"Don't worry, you are now a member of the Qi Refiner. The maze was originally set up to prevent outsiders from entering. The maze has no restraining effect on Qi Refiners."

Xiao Jie was relieved and left with a fist.

Walking into the cave and heading out of the cave, Xiao Jie looked at the oath BUFF on his head as he walked.

(Hehe, you want to use this thing to restrain me, that's a nice thought. As long as I don't form a golden elixir, I don't have to worry about this problem. The golden elixir realm must be at least the seventh, eighth, or ninth level of the Qi Refining Technique.

When the time comes, I will directly form a team of 100 people to come and treat you as the world boss, and see who helps who to become an immortal.

Damn, I will kill you directly, take away your golden elixir, and then ascend to become an immortal. When the time comes, your spiritual energy will become an immortal with me, which is also considered as "helping you become an immortal". The most urgent thing is to quickly kill a few monsters, get a few inner elixirs, and try the effect of this immortal gourd.)

Watching Xiao Jie's figure disappear in the cave, a twisted smile appeared on the face of Hongchen Taoist-"Finally, there is a chance to become an immortal, fellow Taoists, our great cause is promising!"

In the shadow behind him, a series of white figures appeared at this time, a total of eight, surrounding him and standing solemnly.

They silently watched the excitement of Hongchen Taoist, and seemed to be relieved.

"Don't worry, fellow Taoists, it will be soon, it will be soon. When I ascend, it will be the time for you to transcend. Then we will be together with those bastards."

As he spoke, a white spirit trembled a few times, but suddenly dissipated in the air like a soap bubble. The other spirits immediately pounced over and ate the light floating in the air without leaving any residue.

Hongchen Taoist looked at this scene, but he seemed to have been used to it. He just sighed, "Another one is gone, another one is gone. Alas, we listened to the words of the mysterious Taoist and gathered our strength just for this ray of immortality, but we didn't expect that there were only these few people left in the Tianpu Cave back then. I don't know whether it is right or wrong."

He looked at the white spirits whose faces could no longer be seen, and his face showed a look of grief.

Qi refining is an ancient secret technique that refines the soul and the body into one.

Because of this, after death, Qi-refining practitioners cannot become ghosts, but only become this kind of strange spirit body. Although it is not as easy to dissipate as ghosts, after thousands of years, it is difficult to resist the grinding of time, and it continues to die, turning into spiritual energy and returning to heaven and earth.

If it fails again, the remaining ones will probably all be destroyed.

A trace of ruthlessness appeared on his face.

At this point, there is only one way to go - as long as the Yin Yue Sui Feng Jin Dan condenses and returns here, I can avoid that person's Jin Dan, and I can complete the last flaw and ascend to become an immortal, hahahahaha!

Immortal career! Immortal career! In order to become an immortal, even if there is only a slight chance, I must fight for it.
