Seeking Immortality

"Now, can you say it?" Xu Qingfan asked calmly, playing with a gorgeous flower that appeared in his hand at an unknown time, as if he was not at all annoyed about Master Li Xian's sneak attack just now.

Some people may get angry when faced with the provocation of a three-year-old child, but Xu Qingfan believes that he still has such a tolerant attitude. Although the Master Li in front of him is an all-powerful immortal cultivator in the eyes of ordinary people, in Xu Qingfan's eyes, his cultivation level in the late stage of Qi refining is no different than that of a three-year-old child.

"Fellow Taoist is really good at cultivating, and he defeated Pindao's 'Spirit Control Object' so easily." Seeing Xu Qingfan suddenly appear in front of him, cold sweat could not help but fall from Master Li Xian's face, and his face was slightly pale, but He still said with a forced smile.

"It's okay." Xu Qingfan said lightly. "Your Excellency, you'd better tell me your origins now."

Seeing that Xu Qingfan's expression was calm and unmoved by his words, Master Li Xian couldn't help but panic in his heart, and forced a smile and said: "Fellow Taoist, can't you let Pindao go this time for the sake of our fellow immortal cultivators? "

"You'd better tell me your origin first. How did you learn the Spirit Transformation Sect's technique?" Xu Qingfan asked calmly.

Just as Xu Qingfan was speaking, a dark green venomous snake suddenly sprang out from Master Li Xian's wide robe, and shot towards Xu Qingfan as fast as a sharp arrow. In mid-air, the poisonous snake opened its mouth, and its four fangs shone coldly in the moonlight.

"Hmph~!" Xu Qingfan frowned slightly, but remained calm. He raised his hand, and the gorgeous flower he had been playing with just now quickly shot towards the flying poisonous snake.

After the snake flowers collided, there was a loud explosion. With the explosion of the Explosive Flame Flower, the dark green poisonous snake was blown to pieces and flew upside down, falling to the ground far away.

After the smoke cleared, Master Li was seen falling heavily to the ground under the impact of the explosion, and his face became increasingly pale. Xu Qingfan, on the other hand, stood quietly on the spot, as if the strong explosion that just happened in front of him did not have any impact on him.

"If you continue to be dishonest, this flower will fall on you next time. You know, human patience is limited." Xu Qingfan once again formed an explosive flower between his fingers and watched quietly as he fell. Master Li Xian, who was on the ground, said calmly.

Under the absolute strength, Master Li had no choice but to give in.

As Master Li Xian slowly told his story, Xu Qingfan finally knew the origin of Master Li in front of him.

It turned out that this Master Li was just a Taoist boy in an unknown Taoist temple. Although he became a monk, he still had an ordinary heart. One night forty years ago, he went to steal the ancestral tomb of the Taoist temple, hoping to find some antiquities in the tomb and sell them in exchange for... money. It was during that tomb robbery that a fragment of "The Art of Transforming Spirits" was found in an unknown ancient tomb in the Taoist temple of Master Li Xian.

Surprised, Master Li Xian began to practice according to the secret method described in "The Art of Transforming Spirits". However, this "Art of Transforming Spirits" is only a fragment after all, and Master Li's talent is not very good, so up to now he has only practiced to the point of refining. The state of late Qi. Two years ago, Master Li Xian felt that he had achieved some success, and there were not enough materials in the Taoist temple to help him refine "spiritual control objects", so he went down the mountain to seek opportunities. It was at that time that he met Zhang Hai and his son, and took a fancy to the Zhang family's wealth, so they tried to make Zhang Hai the head of the Zhang family, and lied to him that he knew a way to sacrifice the "golden insect", and after it was refined, it could turn stone into gold. In this way, Zhang Hai was tricked into collecting the materials for refining the "Six-Winged Gold Insect" for himself.

Hearing Master Li Xian's description, Xu Qingfan suddenly understood why Master Li knew nothing about the Spirit Transformation Cult even though he knew some of the techniques in "Hua Ling Jue". There may even be low-level mistakes like refining numerous "spiritual objects" in one go. You must know that if Master Li Xian only concentrates on cultivating a "spiritual control object", although he still will not be Xu Qingfan's opponent, it will undoubtedly be much more difficult to deal with.

After listening to Master Li Xian's narration, Xu Qingfan suddenly felt a slight movement in his heart and asked: "Do you still have the fragment of "The Art of Spirit Transformation" with you now?"

Hearing Xu Qingfan's question, Master Li Xian's eyes lit up slightly, and he seemed to understand what Xu Qingfan was thinking. His face couldn't help but turn a little brighter, and he said, "The poor Taoist hid this "Ling Transformation Art" in a very secret place. . But you have seen its power. It is really impressive. It can refine all things in the world for your own use. If you are willing to let Pindao go, Pindao will definitely give it to you. The hiding place of "Hua Ling Jue" is quite secret, and only Pindao knows about it."

Hearing what Master Li Xian said, Xu Qingfan couldn't help but frown slightly and said calmly: "You used Taoism to harm people's lives, so it is necessary to abolish your Taoism. But I can guarantee that your life will be safe."

Hearing Xu Qingfan's words, Master Li Xian's expression became slightly tougher and he said: "If Taoist fellow Taoist is not willing to let Pindao go this time, Pindao will have no choice but to refuse to tell you where the "Hua Ling Jue" is hidden. "

Seeing Master Li Xian's tough attitude since he took possession of it, Xu Qingfan was not in a hurry. He just smiled and asked softly: "Do you know that there is a Taoist method in the world of immortality called 'Mind Search'?"

"I don't know." Master Li Xian shook his head blankly, already vaguely guessing Xu Qingfan's next words in his heart, and his face became paler.

"'Searching the Mind' is a Taoist technique that high-level monks often use to interrogate low-level monks. This technique allows high-level monks to clearly obtain the memories of low-level monks." Xu Qingfan said faintly, not looking at Li Xianshi's increasingly pale face: "But this Taoist technique has a big flaw, that is, the soul of low-level monks will be greatly damaged after being subjected to 'Searching the Mind'. However, maybe you are lucky, and you may still be fine after I use 'Searching the Mind' on you. Do you want to give it a try?"

Hearing Xu Qingfan's words with a faint smile, Li Xianshi, who had lost his last life-saving straw, fell to the ground dejectedly, but could no longer speak.

Looking at Li Xianshi's empty and desperate eyes, Xu Qingfan smiled slightly. He knew that his lie just now had completely broken the last line of defense in Li Xianshi's heart.

The "mind search technique" is a Taoist technique that naturally exists in the world of immortal cultivation, but it requires at least the cultivation of the Jindan stage to be used. Xu Qingfan's current skills are far from enough. Moreover, with Xu Qingfan's mentality, even if he has this ability, he can't bear to use this cruel Taoist technique.

...

The so-called secret hiding place that only Li Xianshi knows is in Li Xianshi's Taoist robe.

Li Xianshi's "Hua Ling Jue" is even more worn out than the "Ku Rong Jue" in Lu Huayan's hands. Under the erosion of time, the pages of "Hua Ling Jue" are glowing with an ancient withered yellow, and it seems that it will break with a slight touch. There are many traces of insects, which appear to be tattered. The last few pages are completely gone, as if someone tore them off. Judging from the cracks, the time of tearing is quite long, and it is obviously not done by Li Xianshi.

However, although it is only a fragment, Xu Qingfan is already very satisfied. It is said that the "Spiritual Transformation Art" is a Taoist method that refines and strengthens other things and then integrates them into one's own body. In this way, it is not only very powerful, but also invisibly reduces the talent requirements of the practitioner. Xu Qingfan knows that with his qualifications, if nothing unexpected happens, the highest achievement in this life can only stagnate at the late stage of spiritual silence. Or maybe this "Spiritual Transformation Art" will provide him with another way.

"Is this the legendary opportunity?" Xu Qingfan looked at the fragments of the "Spiritual Transformation Art" in his hand and thought quietly.

However, Xu Qingfan decided not to practice this "Spiritual Transformation Art" for the time being. The skills in the world of immortal cultivation cannot be practiced casually, because different attributes and concepts are different, and different skills often conflict when practiced. Lu Huayan died because he forcibly practiced the "Withering and Flourishing Art", and Xu Qingfan would never forget this.

"Daoyou, you said that as long as I give you the "Spiritual Transformation Art", you will spare my life." At this time, Li Xianshi's slightly panicked voice sounded, interrupting Xu Qingfan's meditation.

Looking at Master Li, who was full of despair and fear, Xu Qingfan nodded and said, "Of course, I always keep my word."

As he spoke, a green blade suddenly appeared at the tip of Xu Qingfan's finger, piercing Master Li's "Spiritual Sea Point" before he could react, instantly destroying his cultivation.

As the screams rang out, Master Li's face instantly aged a lot. His originally rosy face gradually became covered with wrinkles, and his originally dense and neat white hair seemed to have thinned a lot in a short period of time, giving him the image of a listless old man.

After seeing Master Li's image, Xu Qingfan shook his head slightly. People are like this. They know that their life span will be greatly reduced after their cultivation is abolished, and even if they survive, they will not live long, but they still choose to live. After all, only a few people have the courage to face death.

After sighing for a while, Xu Qingfan turned his attention to Zhang Hai and his son, who had been shrinking in the corner in fear.

Seeing Xu Qingfan's eyes looking at them, Zhang Hai and his son had no choice but to walk to Xu Qingfan hesitantly and said in panic: "That... Immortal Master, my father and I have never done anything bad. We were just bewitched by this evil Taoist and helped him collect materials. We didn't know that this evil Taoist would harm the world. Fortunately, you are so wise that you exposed his hypocritical mask. My father and I would like to thank you here."

As he said this, Zhang Hai and Zhang Hu really bowed to Xu Qingfan, looking like they had a great grudge and were finally avenged.

Seeing Zhang Hai trying to distance himself from Master Li, and thinking of his previous respectful attitude towards Master Li, Xu Qingfan couldn't help but flash a trace of disgust in his eyes, but still said lightly: "Don't worry, I won't attack mortals."

"That's good, I said that Master Li is so empty and you will definitely not care about us mortals." After hearing Xu Qingfan's words, Zhang Hai showed a relaxed smile on his face and said flatteringly. And Zhang Hu also hurriedly agreed.

Xu Qingfan ignored their flattery, pointed his finger at their mouths and shouted: "Freeze!!"

As Xu Qingfan shouted, Zhang Hai and his son were horrified to find that they could no longer move. Compared with Zhang Hai's constant screams and pleas, Zhang Hu was relatively calm and just asked, "Master, what do you mean? Didn't you say you wouldn't attack mortals?"

"Although I won't attack mortals, you are really trying to kill people for money. I will let Zhang Long report to the police. Before that, in order to prevent you from escaping, I will just use some necessary tricks." Xu Qingfan said lightly.

After saying this, Zhang Hai and his son found that Xu Qingfan, who had been standing quietly in front of them, suddenly disappeared, and with him also disappeared Li Xianshi, who had been slumped on the ground. Only a faint sentence was left echoing in the room.

"Turning stone into gold? There is no such good thing in the world. It is good for people to have dreams, but it is best not to have delusions, and not to be overwhelmed by the delusions in your heart, and not to do something that hurts the world because of these. You must know that people do things, and God is watching."
