Chapter 11: Cultivating Immortality but Living Like a Beast

"In today's world of immortality, if a mortal wants to become an immortal, he only has a few choices." Kou Hong explained patiently.

"The first is to join the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance. The Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance is a loose alliance formed by many immortal cultivators. In the alliance, you can obtain contribution points by completing tasks or trading with others. By virtue of your contribution points, you can be in the alliance In exchange for the skills and resources of cultivating immortals.”

"The second is the Wu Lao Hui. The Wu Lao Hui is an organization created by five top powerful men and has huge power. As long as you have the qualifications to practice, you can voluntarily join it and choose to practice the skills. The price is to sign a soul contract. Serve the Wu Laohui for a certain period of time.”

"The third is to choose to join the local forces in various places. Although these forces cannot be compared with the two behemoths above, the local forces are often more united and there are basically no dangerous tasks. They are more suitable for people with lazy and mediocre personalities. As for the others Some messy organizations are not very reliable, so let’s not mention them.” Kou Hong slowly explained the general situation of the current world of immortality.

Li Fan frowned when he heard this and was a little confused: "Judging from your description, why do you feel that martial arts are not so scarce in the world of immortality?"

Kou Hong snorted coldly: "That's because the skills obtained through this method are incomplete."

"Incomplete?" Li Fan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized. "If you want to obtain a higher level of skills, do you have to continue to work for them?"

"Not bad!" Kou Hong said bitterly. "These exercises have all been newly compiled by several major forces in recent years. Cultivating to the Great Perfection of Qi Refining is already the limit. If you want to further build the Dao foundation, you must replace the techniques with a new level. Above the Dao foundation Same thing."

"Change the technique? If you have to change the technique and practice from scratch every time you break through a realm, wouldn't it mean that all the previous efforts have been in vain?" Li Fan was a little shocked.

"That's not possible." Kou Hong shook his head. "Everyone who practices must study the "Tai Shang Original Sutra". It is said that this sutra was the supreme sutra of the Tai Shang Sect in ancient times and the foundation of the sect. After the great catastrophe, the Tai Shang Sect was wiped out, leaving only the "Tai Shang Original Sutra". The fragments of the "Original Sutra" are in the world. This sutra is not a cultivation method, but closer to a secret method. Its function is to allow practitioners to transform their own magical realm at will without much loss. After switching to other exercises, you can quickly catch up with your original state."

"There is such a magical method." Li Fan admired. "It's just that this fragment appears just right. Only in this way can the many immortal cultivators in the world be able to accept the constant change of techniques."

Li Fan sneered and said: "In my opinion, there may not be only fragments of the Taishang Original Sutra left. I am afraid that the people behind the scenes are only willing to release the San Gong and rebuild this part."

Kou Hong sighed: "Who doesn't know this truth? But what can it do? It's hard to find true power. Although it is helpless to be sucked by others, there is a visible goal and way. If you work hard, you can still get it. No After all, there are only a few people who want to be controlled by others for the rest of their lives and are willing to risk their lives by going to various secret realms and ancient sects to seek opportunities.”

Li Fan nodded and roughly understood the current situation in the world of immortality. This is completely different from the unrestrained immortal path that I imagined, which is dedicated to immortality. On the contrary, it is somewhat similar to the world before I traveled through it.

Thinking of all these things, Li Fan sneered in his heart.

Kou Hong didn't notice anything strange about Li Fan at this time, but couldn't help but sighed: "Dao Xuanzi didn't know until his death that the reason why I took the technique and ran away was not just because it was a pill-forming technique. , but because it is a true skill that can directly lead to the Nascent Soul Realm."

"If it were really a pill-forming skill, I might still be able to control myself. But after all, it is the real Nascent Soul skill..." Kou Hong said repeatedly.

When Li Fan heard this, his heart moved and he touched the ring on his hand.

He has collected all the belongings of Kou Hong and Dao Xuanzi and put them in this storage ring. Perhaps because he has experienced many reincarnations and his mental strength is far beyond ordinary people, he can actually use this storage ring with ease, which originally required the spiritual consciousness to be cultivated during the Qi refining period. However, if he couldn't find a way to leave the Immortal Land, these things would be useless to him, so he didn't have the heart to check them one by one.

Next, Kou Hong introduced to Li Fan the common sense in the world of immortality, such as the death of an immortal cultivator that would trigger celestial phenomena within a certain range. He finally returned to the topic and talked about Li Fan's possibility of flying boats left over from the Great Migration Era. sex.

"Maybe it is indeed possible." Kou Hong thought carefully for a long time before saying.

"I once heard some rumors. For thousands of years, mortals who were exiled to the land of immortality have secretly returned to the world of immortality. But most of them are just gossips and there is no solid evidence."

"There is no smoke without fire. Sometimes rumors are always the truth of the matter." Li Fan was heartened. "After all, mortals and immortal cultivators are inextricably linked. In the past, there were immortal cultivators who left a way out for their mortal families. It’s normal. I think these mortals can return through the backhand left by these immortal cultivators.”

Kou Hong was not very optimistic: "Even so, thousands of years have passed. This world is quite vast, and the possibility of finding it is too small."

"As long as there is a glimmer of hope, I will not give up." Li Fan said firmly.

"I really don't know how you, a dying old man, can still go through such trouble..." Kou Hong muttered softly.

Li Fan pretended not to hear and said to Kou Hong solemnly: "As long as you help me find a way to go to the Xiuxian world, I will not only let you go and let you go back with me, but I will also return all your and Daoxuanzi's things."

"Including the Infant Formation Technique!"

"Are you serious?!" Kou Hong looked up suddenly, and a glimmer of hope suddenly appeared in his eyes.

"Of course." Li Fan nodded.

"Okay... In this case, I will do my best to help you." Kou Hong gritted his teeth and finally made up his mind.

Although he had been cheated by Li Fan several times and didn't know how credible Li Fan's promise was, he was like Li Fan. As long as there was even a glimmer of hope, he was unwilling to give up.

Trapped here for decades, and then die of old age.

This was really not what Kou Hong wanted!

...

So, with the help of Kou Hong, Li Fan collected historical books and classics from all over the world, trying to find clues about the era of the great migration from the few words recorded in ancient times.

At the same time, Li Fan also mobilized the army to excavate the ancient tombs, trying to find some clues. Although it caused public resentment and officials wrote letters of admonition every day, he suppressed them one by one.

Unfortunately, it has been too long since the Great Migration, and his remaining life in this world is too short.

Sixteen years later, anchored in 66 years, Li Fan's deadline is approaching, but he still has nothing.

Ordering Kou Hong to go, Li Fan came alone to the underground secret room of the Grand Master's Mansion.

With a thought, Li Fan took out all the items in the storage ring and laid them out one by one.

First, Li Fan's sight focused on the jade slip that emitted a faint golden light.

It was the Nascent Soul technique that caused Kou Hong and Dao Xuanzi to turn against each other.
