Absolute Destiny Game

The level 32 NPC is two levels higher than Hunyuan Yiqi Duan Yu, but he is just a librarian. This person must be the kind of hidden expert.

But even though he is an expert, he is not much higher. For Xiao Jie, who is used to the big world, level 32 is just fine.

"This old man, please forgive me for disturbing you. I have something to ask, can you clarify my confusion?"

The old man put down his book, looked at Xiao Jie and nodded slightly, saying, "Oh, little brother, if you have any questions, just ask. As the head of the treasure house, I naturally have the responsibility to answer questions and resolve doubts."

"I want to check some information about ancient Qi practitioners. I wonder if there are similar books here?"

The old man laughed after hearing this, "Oh my, ancient Qi Refiner... Little brother, you have asked the right person. I am not boasting. In Fengyin Prefecture, people who know the ancient Qi Refiner are afraid There are no more than one palm, and I am one of them.

But Qi Refiners are legendary figures, why do you ask this? "

"Just curious."

"Haha, forget it, let me tell you something. In fact, there is a book called "Ancient Legends". It has a total of sixteen volumes, and it records the part about Qi Refiners. Unfortunately, it was published three years ago. The fire was all burned out. Fortunately, when I was guarding this place and reading many books, I also read some of this book.

Let me tell you now.

This ancient Qi Refiner is amazing. It is said that he was a person who cultivated immortality in ancient times. He absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, refined the essence of the sun and moon, and understood the mysteries of heaven and earth in famous mountains and rivers, and gained insight into the magic of the universe.

It is said that this Qi practitioner can eat wind and drink dew, be invulnerable to cold and heat, avoid all kinds of poisons, and be invulnerable to swords and guns...it is truly remarkable.

Once you have mastered the art of refining qi, you can even ascend to immortality and travel through the universe...

To be transcendent and mortal, to be immortal... Tsk, tsk, tsk, that's quite desirable. "

When Xiao Jie heard this, he was suddenly pleasantly surprised. It wasn't because he was surprised that the Immortal was so powerful - he already knew this. But I was pleasantly surprised that this person was definitely knowledgeable, and he mentioned several legendary qualities of the Qi Refiner at once.

Eat wind and drink dew, be invulnerable to cold and heat, avoid all poisons - invulnerability. The first three have been unlocked by yourself. Could it be said that the fourth legendary trait is invulnerability? It's probably to increase defense, or improve physical damage reduction, etc. It's a good feature.

I don’t know if this old man knows more, but it would be good if he could learn about it in advance.

"In addition to eating wind and drinking dew, being invulnerable to cold and heat, avoiding all poisons, and being invulnerable, do you have any other abilities?"

Yuan Tianke thought for a while, "Well, of course there is. At that time, I remembered that this Qi refining technique seemed to have a total of seven levels, and - by the way, immortality! I was very impressed by this, and what else... ...Ascending to become an immortal? Yes, yes, you can become an immortal when you practice it to perfection.”

Xiao Jie said in his heart that I know all this, but it’s the seventh level? Xiao Jie thought to himself that this doesn't really match up. It's obviously at the tenth level. It seems that this old man only read second-hand information.

"Did you mention the golden elixir?"

"Yes, yes. When you said that, I remembered it. It seemed like eating wind and drinking dew, being immune to cold and heat, avoiding poisons, being invulnerable to swords and guns, being immortal, attaining the golden elixir, and then... then ascending to immortality!"

Xiao Jie thought that there was definitely something wrong with this! The ancients paid great attention to rhyme and correctness, and it was impossible to come up with seven sentences. Even if they made up the number, they would have to add four more characters.

It seems that either the old man's information was incomplete, or his memory was wrong.

He didn't agree in his heart, but he still thanked him and said, "The old gentleman is indeed very knowledgeable. Is there more information in the book?"

"Yes, I read that book over and over again several times, but unfortunately it was a fire...

Are these Qi practitioners? They do not cultivate merit, strive for fame or fortune, do not fall in love with women, and do not own a family. The only thing they want is immortality. They have indeed achieved their goals. Many of the first immortals in this world are among them. , but later, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth dissipated, and this ancient qi training technique was no longer seen.

Later, some people combined qi refining with internal strength and created several sets of internal strength and mental methods, but they were mostly average and at most they were just for strengthening the body and cultivating one's character. "

"Oh, why is this?"

"Of course it's because there is no spiritual energy. This qi refining technique is a pure spiritual energy. If this spiritual energy is gone, it will naturally become impossible to practice."

Xiao Jie deliberately pretended to be guessing, "Why is this spiritual energy gone? Is it because of the immortals? Could it be that the immortals in front have used up all their spiritual energy, leaving the people behind with no spiritual energy to use?"

"Haha, no, no, no, think about it, how huge this world is, with the land of Kyushu, the water of the four seas, the vastness of the four poles, the vastness of the sky... In ancient times, the world was full of spiritual energy, and there were only a few hundred people who refined it. Sir, how can you absorb so much spiritual energy?"

Xiao Jie was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the old man's statement was completely different from that of Hongchen Taoist, and he didn't know who was right and who was wrong.

"Then why is the spiritual energy gone?"

"Because the sky is broken."

"The sky is broken?" Xiao Jie was a little stunned, but this statement was interesting.

"That's right, I traveled across Kyushu and read a lot of books. I stayed in the collection rooms of various states. I came to this conclusion based on the collection of ancient classics.

It is said that in ancient times, the heaven and earth were full of spiritual energy, strange flowers and grasses were everywhere, fairy springs and spiritual mountains filled the world, dragons and phoenixes flew in the sky, and unicorns ran in the valleys. There was no chill in autumn and winter in the world, only evergreen and prosperous times, which can be described as bliss. realm.

However, eight thousand years ago, the sky collapsed, and evil spirits from outside the world came into the world and caused trouble in the world. From then on, all things were in danger of withering and decaying, and the fruits of decay and destruction.

Five thousand years ago, the earth collapsed, and ghosts and demons from the underworld entered the world. Since then, corpses and ghosts have been rampant, and ghosts have filled the land. The dead have no peace, and the living are frightened and worried.

Three thousand years ago, a demon star fell into the human world, causing chaos in people's human nature. From then on, most of the demons became cruel and bloodthirsty people. This is the human world, where people's hearts are not ancient, and evil villains are rampant.

Every time there is a big change, the gap between heaven and earth will be broken, and the spiritual energy will dissipate a lot. After three catastrophes, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth is almost leaked. Instead, there are many more evil and sinister powers, so naturally it can no longer pass through. Reiki is here to cultivate immortality and practice Qi. "

Xiao Jie said to his heart that that's it. In the past, I always heard NPCs say that a big disaster was coming, but now I know what kind of disaster it is. It seems that the world is really full of disasters.

He picked up his notebook and wrote down this background story, maybe it could be used later.

"Then no one can become an immortal from now on?"

"No, no, without the Qi Refining Technique, if you want to become an immortal, you will naturally take other paths. However, there have never been fewer people in this world who want to become immortals.

Some make elixirs, some gain enlightenment, some become monsters, some give up their bodies, some become demons, and some transform into evil ghosts.

All they seek is immortality, all they seek is immortality. Alas, the people of this world are so obsessed with the word immortality. They make people neither human nor ghosts. How ridiculous. "

Xiao Jie thought to himself, "Why are you telling me this? I'm asking about ancient Qi training techniques."

"Then it's impossible to practice this ancient qi training technique?"

"Of course you can't practice it." Yuan Tianke said firmly.

Xiao Jie thought that was wrong. Then what did I practice? It seems that Yuan Tianke may not know everything, he is a nerd after all.

"Is there no other way? I have heard of a workaround that can use spiritual energy to cultivate immortality."

Yuan Tianke immediately stroked his beard, shook his head and said: "How is it possible? If there is such a method, it must be recorded in the book. Since I have never seen it, it must not be there."

"Perhaps the person who created such a method doesn't want others to know about it."

Yuan Tianke was still unconvinced and said, "Then you should tell me."

"First, you can look for the Cave Heaven Blessed Land. There must be some spiritual energy left in such a place in this world, right?"

"That's true, but if you want to practice Qi Refining, you need a lot of spiritual energy. Even if you can find such a place, how much spiritual energy will be left? I think it's probably impossible to practice it."

"Secondly, the monster's inner elixir contains a large amount of spiritual energy. If it is absorbed, wouldn't it be possible to continue refining the energy?"

Yuan Tianke suddenly laughed, "Hahaha, that's wrong. The monster's inner elixir is not so easy to refine. The monster can indeed absorb some spiritual energy from the world, but this spiritual energy has been combined with the monster's inner elixir." But if we are one, how can we separate? Unless there is a magical weapon, it will never be successful."

Xiao Jie thought to himself, "Don't I just have a magic weapon?"

"But what if you are lucky and have such a magic weapon? Can you practice it?"

"That's not possible. The spiritual energy between heaven and earth is the most pure and mysterious thing. It is said that in ancient times, the heaven and earth were first divided. The clear air rose and the turbid air fell. The turbid air has the property of gathering, but the clear air has the property of scattering. characteristic.

The turbid air gathered for thousands of years and became the land of the netherworld.

This pure air spreads for thousands of years, turning into spiritual energy that fills the sky, and then merges into the bodies of all things when they are born.

The so-called animism is because all things in the world are affected by spiritual energy when they are born, but most of the spiritual energy is eventually dispersed into the world.

The purpose of the Qi Refiner is to absorb this purest spiritual energy and transform it into an immortal immortal body.

But if this spiritual energy is absorbed by other things, it will naturally be contaminated with different characteristics. The inner elixir of a monster is the original destiny of the monster. In the process of absorbing the spiritual energy, its own form, mind, soul, and spirit will inevitably be absorbed. , everything is integrated into it.

When you absorb the spiritual energy in the monster's inner elixir, wouldn't you also absorb all of it into your body? Although there are impurities in the refining of magical weapons by gods, gods are not omnipotent, and some will always remain to some extent.

Since you have lost your purity, how can you become an immortal? If you use this method to become an immortal, you may become a demon first rather than becoming an immortal before you become an immortal. "

Xiao Jie was shocked. Yuan Tianke had really hit the mark.

At present, I have only absorbed 5,000 points of spiritual energy from the demon pill, and the demonization index has increased to 19%. At this rate, I am afraid that I will be completely demonized when I reach the seventh level.

Will he really turn into a monster by then? What kind of monster will it become?

Damn it, this old boy from the world of mortals is quite ruthless.

No wonder he didn't take the inner elixir himself, maybe it was just for this reason.

And he said that when the golden elixir is completed...I am afraid that the golden elixir is completed at about the seventh level.

When I arrived, the golden elixir had already been completed. In addition, I happened to be a demon and needed someone to save me. Naturally, I had to go to Hongchen for help. He just happened to kill me and take away the inner elixir - my feelings were to use myself as a purifier. .

When his golden elixir was completed, he took his own golden elixir to refine it, and all the monster things were left in his body, and he could take the final step to ascend to immortality.

This old boy is quite fine.

However, I have discovered the clues and can deal with them in advance.

"Senior Yuan, if someone really uses this method to refine monsters, will they really become monsters? Is it impossible for monsters to become immortals?"

"Of course monsters can become immortals, but they can't become immortals through refining their energy."

"Oh, why is this?"

"Have you heard the story of Ziji biting people?"

Xiao Jie said: "But I have never heard of it."

Yuan Tianke then told him.

"It is said that in ancient times, there was a man named Ziji who liked to travel. One time he met a monster. The two had a tacit understanding. Over time, they became good friends.

His friend, a monster, was very envious of Ziji and said that if I were a human being, I could stay in human society and eat people every day. Wouldn't I be happy? But now, as a monster, I can only wander in the wilderness and mountains.

Ziji also envied the monster and said, "What's so good about eating people? If I became a monster, I could travel around the mountains and rivers every day and visit the beautiful scenery all over Kyushu. Wouldn't it be nice?"

The two envied each other, so they asked an immortal for help. After listening to their requests, the immortal used magic to call each other's souls.

The monster became Ziji, and Ziji became a monster.

After the monster turned into Ziji, he prepared to secretly find someone to eat. Unexpectedly, the first person he met was a beautiful woman. When he saw the beautiful woman, he immediately developed an appetite for cannibalism and fell in love with her. , but the beautiful woman ignored him and said that you have no money and power, why should you commit yourself?

From then on, the monster focused on seeking fame and wealth, and no longer thought about cannibalism.

After Ziji turned into a monster, he wanted to travel around the world at first, but soon he got tired of it and gradually fell in love with cannibalism.

A few years later, when the two met again, the monster had become the local shepherd and had married several concubines. However, Ziji had eaten many people and became a monster that everyone wanted to fight. Zhou Mu found a Taoist priest and surrendered. "

Xiao Jie was thoughtful. This was the first time he heard this story, and he seemed to be able to understand its profound meaning.

Yuan Tianke concluded: "It should be noted that the temperaments and habits of humans and monsters are mostly determined by the body. Tigers eat meat and sheep eat grass. It is not whether they want to eat or not, but what their nature is. Monsters cannibalize people not because monsters are inherently vicious, but because of their nature.

If a person turns into a monster, his body and mind will naturally gradually become like a monster. When the time comes, you will only find it ridiculous when you think of your original idea of ​​cultivating immortals and practicing qi. After becoming an immortal, you will not be as happy as eating people. "

Xiao Jie frowned slightly. This statement sounded a bit bizarre, but if you think about it carefully, it is not completely impossible.

When I first became a demon, it was as if I had changed into a different person. At that time, all I could think about was eating people.

Now that I think about it, I’m still very scared.

Although I am now back to normal and have resistance, if I keep absorbing the residual thoughts of monsters and absorb more, my temperament may not change subtly. When I had breakfast this morning, I was obviously not hungry, but Or gnawed a big bowl of ribs.

This is also a sign.

The possibility described by Yuan Tianke is not impossible.

"Is there no way to save it? As far as I know, even monsters are wise."

The one who got the wolf demon Dong Lingzi didn't feel as manic and bloodthirsty as the ordinary wolf demon, but rather had a bit of a city.

Yuan Tianke nodded and said: "Yes, you are right. Monsters can also attain enlightenment, and there are even monsters that have become immortals. However, most of these monsters live in Canglin Prefecture, but we don't have them here. The monsters in Fengyin State all like to eat people."

Xiao Jie asked: "Why is this?"

"It is said that three thousand years ago, there was a great sage from the demon clan in Canglin Prefecture. He had boundless magical power and almost slaughtered and ate all the local human villages. Later, an immortal came from the fairy palace in Guyun Prefecture and fought with the great sage from the demon clan. , although he won in the end, he did not kill the demon clan great sage, but instead taught him three volumes of the heavenly book.

The great sage of the demon clan practiced the magical scriptures in the heavenly book, and calmed down the bloodthirsty and violent emotions in his heart, obtained the true message, and later ascended to immortality.

After that, many Taoist schools and societies were established in Canglin Prefecture, constantly recruiting disciples and teaching scriptures.

Therefore, the monsters in Canglin Prefecture all understand human nature, know good and evil, and no longer eat people. They have even established cities and towns, which is quite magical. I lived in Canglin Prefecture for some time, but I also found it quite strange. Woolen cloth. "

Xiao Jie thought to himself that this was quite interesting.

"So if you practice the scriptures in the book that day, you will naturally not be confused by the nature of monsters, and you may still have the hope of becoming an immortal."

"Oh, why is it just maybe? Senior Yuan is not completely sure?"

Yuan Tianke shook his head, "There are not so many sure things in the world. The physiology and psychology of monsters and humans are different. This scripture can only change psychological problems, but these physical changes cannot be changed. Since Qi Refining is It was created for human beings, so naturally the method used is based on human beings. If it were replaced by monsters, who knows what kind of magic it could achieve?

Of course, I am just speculating. After all, the ancient qi-refining technique has been lost for a long time, so I can't say for sure. It may not be true that the qi-refining technique can be used by both humans and demons. "

When Xiao Jie heard this, he understood in his heart.

"Thank you, Senior Yuan, for clearing up my doubts."

"Haha, you're welcome. It's rare to have someone who wants to listen to a story. Well, I've said everything I need to say. I still have to read a book. If there's nothing else, I won't keep you company."

He sat down and picked up the book to read again.

Xiao Jie didn't bother him anymore. He bowed and walked out of the storage room.

It seems that the road to becoming an immortal is really a long and arduous one.

It's necessary to get the scriptures in this heavenly book. No matter whether you can become an immortal or not, at least you can't become a man-eating monster.

It seems that I have to go to Canglinzhou. Fortunately, Anran, the native, is here so I won't be in the dark.
