Chapter 118 The Path to Immortality
The Records of Spiritual Things
The records do not only describe spiritual objects, but also include spiritual treasures, magical artifacts, and secret treasures that can be made from them.
Although there is no method for its production, this information is something that ordinary cultivators would never be able to see in their entire lives.
Qian Qianqian had great confidence in this book of spirit creatures, even though she didn't have most of the spirit creatures in her family.
However, some of them have already attracted countless Nascent Soul and Divine Transformation cultivators to serve them.
Chen Chunan looked at Qian Qianqian's confident expression and shook his head slightly.
I don't cultivate spiritual energy techniques, nor do I follow the path of external alchemy.
These things are good, but they are not essential.
Those spiritual materials might be useful for refining treasures, but it would come at the cost of a thousand-year contract, which is not what I want.
Secondly, having learned of the Great Tribulation, he understood that cultivating immortality through spiritual energy was no longer a viable path.
It's even less likely that they'll take that path; the tribespeople themselves had already made plans for it.
All that's needed is for one to achieve the Golden Elixir Dao, at which point one person's enlightenment will bring prosperity to their entire family.
These things may not be needed.
Chen Chunan glanced at it quickly, then calmly put it down.
Qian Qianqian's originally confident expression gradually crumbled.
Why does Chen Chunan seem so indifferent?
Even if one has inherited the legacy of an ancient immortal, this is still not how it should be.
Times have changed, and everything is in flux. Ancient immortal techniques may not be suitable for today's cultivation world.
Of all the cultivators in the world who have received the inheritance of ancient immortals, at least several dozen have already revealed themselves, but how many of them have actually reached the Refinement of Emptiness stage?
Without a way to avoid the calamity, they all perished in the calamity inflicted by the Nascent Soul stage.
Promoting a Nascent Soul cultivator to the Void Refinement stage is already an act of great sincerity.
If she hadn't known that Chen Chunan was actually very young and that his achievements would be considerable, she would have at most promised him some spiritual pills and materials that a Nascent Soul cultivator could use.
Suppressing her inner turmoil, Qian Qianqian looked at Chen Chunan with feigned calmness: "Fellow Daoist, what is this?"
Chen Chunan said apologetically, "The items are very good, but I did not wish to be sent on a mission for a thousand years. I can only thank Fellow Daoist Qian for his kindness."
Although Qian Qianqian sensed something, she still couldn't help feeling disappointed.
"Fellow Daoist, do you know what kind of opportunity you have rejected?"
Chen Chunan remained calm and unmoved: "I never regret my choices."
"You don't even care about the path to immortality?"
The Path to Immortality?
Qian Qianqian's words seemed unintentional, yet also deliberate.
Is this what the Wanfang Chamber of Commerce was planning?
But why would they use a chamber of commerce as a way to build their influence?
"I have always believed in walking the Great Way alone, and that one can only ascend to immortality by oneself. I have my own path to walk, and even if it is a rugged and winding road, I will gladly accept it."
Chen Chunan's tone was calm, but firm.
When Chen Yunling heard her master mention the rugged path, she almost lost her composure.
He had no choice but to pretend to be thirsty and gulp down two mouthfuls of tea before his complexion returned to normal.
Although Chen Hongxian had never practiced internal alchemy, she did not have the same profound understanding as Chen Yunling.
However, she had been following Han Yuqiu in cultivation for more than half a year, and she was quite aware of the difficulties of spiritual cultivation.
Despite having dual spiritual roots and having also adopted the ancient immortal cultivation method of Taiyin Refinement, he is now only at the third level of Foundation Establishment.
His older brother, whose cultivation level was previously lower than his own, is now on par with his master.
She felt that what the people from the Wanfang Chamber of Commerce were talking about about the Path to Immortality was definitely not as good as her brother's Golden Elixir Path.
Qian Qianqian hadn't expected Chen Chunan's attitude to be so firm, and sighed inwardly.
He then said, "Everyone has their own ambitions, and I won't force you. You can choose any three items from the first page of this second volume of spiritual materials to offset the cost of this talisman."
Chen Chunan didn't know whether exchanging 30 Rank 7 talismans for 3 Nascent Soul level spiritual materials was a loss or a gain.
But he came mainly to settle a matter on his mind, and he wasn't particularly concerned about making or losing money.
The first page contains 12 kinds of precious materials, 5 kinds of spiritual herbs, and 7 kinds of refining materials.
Chen Chunan is currently protected by the Five Elements Spirit Flags, and his only offensive magic weapon is the Yin-Yang Twin Swords.
Perhaps I could try refining another offensive magic weapon to enrich my repertoire.
"How much of this True Essence of Fire is there?"
"Nine remain."
"I'll add another 60 talisman treasures. Can you sell me all 9 of these?"
"Add another 60 talisman treasures?"
Qian Qianqian thought that these 30 coins might be the limit that Chen Chunan had been able to refine in this period of time, and that she would keep a few more for herself at most.
I didn't expect to be able to produce another 60 pieces.
Now, the regret over not being able to keep Chen Chunan was even deeper.
Even a Nascent Soul cultivator who can mass-produce such talismans is more helpful for the path to immortality than a Deity Transformation cultivator who only knows how to fight.
Qian Qianqian thought for a moment and then agreed: "Okay, but these things are all in the Central Region, and it will take 2-3 days to get them here."
"That's alright, I can wait two or three days. I'll come back to pick it up in three days."
Seeing that Chen Chunan was ready to leave, Qian Qianqian had no choice but to get up and see him off.
After the three left the Wanfang Chamber of Commerce, Cui'er couldn't help but say, "Miss, why did you address him as a fellow Daoist? You are already a Nascent Soul True Monarch."
Qian Qianqian sneered, "He's also reached the Nascent Soul stage! And his strength should be above mine!"
"Huh? That's impossible! You investigated him last time; he was only a teenager, right? How could he possibly have reached the Nascent Soul stage?"
After all, he was just a minor cultivator from a Qi-refining family, and he had previously caught Qian Qianqian's attention, so it would be relatively easy for the Wanfang Chamber of Commerce to find out his background.
"What's impossible? Throughout the Three Saints Sect, there have been many Nascent Soul cultivators in their teens. True geniuses are like this. In ancient times, it was not uncommon for someone to become an immortal in a hundred years."
"The Three Saints Sect had Nascent Soul cultivators in their teens back then, that was tens of thousands of years ago. Where would you find a Nascent Soul cultivator in their teens now? This person definitely has a secret. If it were me, I would definitely arrest him and torture him severely!"
"I think you want to be caught and tortured severely! I've shortchanged you on occasion, and you still can't form your core. I think you're planning to stay at the Foundation Establishment stage for life!"
"No, Miss, he was just joking. You can't abandon Cui'er!"
As the master and servant were playing around, Qian Qianqian suddenly remembered that she had originally planned to invest in this young man, so she decided to treat it as a casual move.
Because of the change of the true dragon in Tianmu Mountain, forces from the Central Region flocked to the area, and the person was lost to the public.
She had thought the young man might have died in the Tianmu Mountain incident, but now he has suddenly transformed like a dragon or snake, and his cultivation level is now comparable to hers.
This certainly proves that her vision is indeed unique, but such a change still left her somewhat incredulous.
Just as his maid Cui'er said, Chen Chunan must have a great secret.
But obtaining the inheritance of an ancient immortal is never simple. Not to mention that I might not be his match, even if I could, he would have no way to escape.
Even if such people cannot become friends, they should not become enemies.
the other side
The three siblings, master and apprentice, left the Wanfang Chamber of Commerce.
Hongxian whispered, "This person seems to be plotting something. The things she says are like, like..."
"It's like a big pie on a drawing paper; it only looks good but doesn't fill your stomach, right?"
"Yes, yes, a thousand years, that's way too long."
"She might not be just making empty promises. If you took this offer to Jiangzhou, even your master might be tempted."
But a thousand years is indeed too long for me.
Moreover, the internal alchemy method doesn't place much importance on external things, which is why my brother didn't care.
"I'm leaving now; I should go back to sweep my parents' graves."
"Mmm~"
