Longevity: Beginning from the Great Zhou Dynasty

Chapter 680 Reincarnated as a Horseman, Young Master Xu

No matter how much it bothered Ren Xuxuan, he willingly accepted the bait offered by Lin Xuanzhi.

Before his reincarnation, although he had separated a portion of his own people from the White Lotus lineage and infiltrated various places, he could barely be considered to have some foundation, but at most he could only handle minor matters.

If one truly wishes to contribute to one's spiritual practice, ultimately one must engage in "social interactions that benefit one's spiritual development."

The essence of spiritual practice lies within oneself, but matters of Dharma companions, land, and wealth should not be neglected.

According to Jinzhuang Yuanling, if his cultivation in this life goes smoothly, he might be able to achieve the Yang God realm, but he will ultimately find it difficult to reach the forty-nine stage and attain pure Yang.

Although he no longer needs to go to great lengths and schemes as he did in his previous life, if he misses this opportunity presented to him, he will likely regret it deeply later.

The Taoist priest didn't need to use elixir or blood to cure himself, so after a moment's hesitation, he calmed down.

Having obtained the relic, the Golden Banner Spirit was unwilling to spit it out. Seeing that Xu Xuan had come to his senses, it was happy not to need to persuade him further.

But the legacy of the Lotus Desire Celestial Maiden...

"Young man, this celestial maiden had extraordinary merits in her previous life. She was one of the top Buddhist masters in the Crimson Bright Thousand World. Now it seems that she has suffered an external calamity. Although the relic is good for you, it is still an external force. You still need to try to obtain the true secret manual, the Suffering Sea Life Chapter."

How could Xu Xuan not know?

But this Taoist priest will surely use this to better motivate himself, and he may not be able to see the Heavenly Maiden's inheritance for a while.

However, now that he has figured things out, he has regained his calm and gentle demeanor, and he is less troubled than in his previous life.

"Based on my guess, the old demon has probably passed through a period of decline and his supernatural powers have greatly increased, otherwise he would not have been so quiet for so many years."

Lin Xuanzhi raised an eyebrow upon hearing this: "In just over a hundred years, he has actually acquired such abilities?"

Xu Xuan secretly investigated the old demon as thoroughly as possible, and it is quite possible that he learned some information that others did not know.

"Although we fellow disciples have unique destinies that help him cultivate secret techniques and cope with calamities, given his personality, he would never make only one preparation."

"Moreover, according to what I learned a few years ago, although the Five Yin Demon Prison Gate was passed down from the suppression of the Yuanjue Ancestor, the old demon also received guidance from someone before deciding to make a big plan."

Lin Xuanzhi knew that this cheap grand-disciple always had some real knowledge in him!

"One person? Who is it? Judging from your words, they shouldn't be a member of the Demonic Sect..."

Xu Xuan glanced at Lin Xuanzhi with a strange look in his eyes. Why did this Taoist priest sound somewhat disappointed?
These True Lords and True Men of Xuandu Temple really have a problem with the Demonic Sect, they even have their eyes on it!

Xu Xuan shook his head slightly: "Kurong is very tight-lipped, but I have connections."

"I vaguely guessed that the person might be a concubine from the former Sui Dynasty."

Lin Xuanzhi asked in surprise, "His mother?"

"No, she seems to be another of Emperor Li's favorite concubines, but she is well hidden. I don't know exactly who she is."

"After all, Emperor Li is gone. He had many concubines. Who could have guessed?"

Xu Xuan shook his head and said hesitantly, "But it must be pure Yang. Perhaps your family is powerful and able to identify it from among the concubines of Emperor Li back then."

Lin Xuanzhi couldn't help but laugh: "Now it seems that their family is all together?"

It seems inevitable that the biological father, stepmother, and the Heavenly Demon would join forces with them.

Therefore, it seems that the treasure trove project requires careful planning to ensure its stability.

As the thought crossed his mind, Lin Xuanzhi looked at Xu Xuan with admiration in his eyes.

Despite the pressure from the old devil, he was still able to investigate him thoroughly. This guy's abilities are truly beyond expectations once again.

Xu Xuan naturally understood Lin Xuanzhi's meaning, but he was not smug. He pointed to the Seven Treasures Golden Canopy and said, "The Golden Canopy has made a great contribution. Otherwise, no matter how many tricks I have up my sleeve, the old demon would have noticed my 'rebellious nature' so obviously."

"With this treasure as a cover, the old demon only thought I had some human selfish desires."

Recalling the torment he endured in his past life, Xu Xuan couldn't help but sigh with complicated emotions. He then perked up and smiled, "Since you have come in person, Master, to help me with my tribulation, I wonder if there is anything I can do to help you?"

Lin Xuanzhi smiled knowingly and said, "My dear grand-disciple, there's no need to be so eager to show off. Right now, you're making great strides and the most important thing is to refine the Jade Elixir through the Nine Revolutions and Seven Returns."

"Although according to my calculations, you have a good chance of achieving a high-grade pill within the year of Jiazi, you must not be arrogant."

"If I can't provide the elixir then, I'll have to use your true form to lure the old demon." Xu Xuan's smile froze instantly, almost breaking his composure. He thought to himself, "Perhaps I'd better use myself as bait to lure out even more and bigger monsters!"
"With the encouragement of a true master, I am determined to obtain a top-grade Golden Core!"

Lin Xuanzhi nodded and smiled: "You'd better be. If you perform exceptionally well, why not let Lianyu secretly teach you a thing or two?"

"However, you need not worry about my affairs for now. There is a good deed for you to settle."

Xu Xuan sat up straight: "Good cause?"

Since there is something to do, one can naturally accumulate "merit," and perhaps a reward will be bestowed upon them soon.

Lin Xuanzhi smiled and said, "Li Qingwei, the current palace master of Cuiwei Palace in the East Sea, is like a brother to me. We met when we were both humble and sought the Dao in the capital. Now she seems to have been sitting in the palace for a long time and has glimpsed some of the opportunity to break through the barrier between life and death."

"However, I predict that when he breaks through the barrier, there will be an external calamity, caused by the karma of Cuiwei Palace, as well as his own karma."

"Although Cuiwei Palace has made some preparations, they are still insufficient, and I need you to protect it for me."

"By planting such a good seed, you will naturally receive a favor from a primordial spirit in the future, is that alright?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Xuan quickly realized why Lin Xuanzhi hadn't come forward personally.

"This Taoist priest himself is aware that if he shows himself, he might arouse the already dangerous external calamity to an unpredictable degree?"

With that in mind, Xu Xuan nodded without hesitation: "Since you trust me, it's alright to make this trip."

Lin Xuanzhi smiled slightly: "The quality of the outer core refined from the inner core of the Yin God-level Seven-Colored Devouring Python on your body is not bad, but there is still room for improvement. I will use the Taiqing Pill Method to refine it for you several times to control the heat."

"With the unknown magic treasure in your dantian, this trip should be a success."

Upon hearing this, Xu Xuan's expression changed again, and he subconsciously covered his dantian.

This Taoist priest has such a ruthless and cunning divine sense!
A superior external elixir, a Nine Palaces Golden Pagoda, a magical treasure he had acquired through planning, and several secret treasures at the primordial spirit level were his trump cards for protecting himself when traveling outside, so as not to expose the conspicuous Seven Treasures Golden Canopy!
He had been swindled out of his entire fortune, and subconsciously thought this was another attempt to sabotage him.

But at their current level, they probably wouldn't even consider the Seven Treasures Golden Canopy a threat...

"As instructed by the True Man, Hanwen guarantees to do his utmost to help Palace Master Li break through the barrier."

Lin Xuanzhi nodded in satisfaction. There were many reasons why he came to the East Sea first, and this was the best way to achieve multiple benefits.

Then, Lin Xuanzhi lightly touched Xu Xuan's brow, and a seven-colored pill flew out. Then, the purple-gold immortal fire spread out in the cave, and the eight scenic spots of Shangyuan gathered in the illusory pill cauldron, refining the outer pill in the exquisite details.

The laws of heaven and earth manifest, auspicious energy rises, and colorful clouds surge. Bird-script and insect-patterned characters are integrated into the outer elixir, either to cultivate the original Taoist inscriptions or to weave into supernatural talismans that can touch the laws of heaven and earth.

Xu Xuan was stunned for a moment, then quickly perked up and began to observe and comprehend the text with great enthusiasm.

After several days, the radiant light and auspicious energy were completely absorbed into the outer elixir, weaving into three layers of purple-gold cloud patterns on its surface. Inside, two supernatural talismans that constantly resonated with the laws of heaven and earth could be seen pulsating.

These are two powerful spells that transcend the level of Taoist arts and can barely be called "pseudo-supernatural powers".

With this external elixir, Xu Xuan could not impersonate a Yuan Shen True Person, but he was more than capable of manipulating a Great Cultivator with a Perfected Yin Shen.

Xu Xuan carefully took it and put it back into his Purple Mansion. He sincerely praised, "The True Man's alchemy skills are becoming more and more amazing. He has so skillfully inscribed two divine power inscriptions!"

Lin Xuanzhi couldn't help but shake his head: "The method of refining this external elixir is too crude, wasting a lot of the original essence. Otherwise, it originally had the potential to retain a Seven-Colored Devouring Python's innate divine power."

Xu Xuan blushed slightly. It wasn't like he had personally refined it; it was a matter he couldn't openly discuss with others.

"Reach out your hand, and I will bestow upon you another protective divine power to ward off unforeseen circumstances, since you wouldn't want to expose the Seven Treasures Golden Canopy."

Xu Xuan obediently stepped forward and reached out his hand. He then saw black and white immortal light emanating from Lin Xuanzhi's fingertips, with the meaning of life and death reincarnation flowing through the air. A "Six Paths Reincarnation Great Immortal Technique" was imprinted on Xu Xuan's palm.

The Six Paths of Reincarnation is close to the level of advanced supernatural powers!

Xu Xuan felt a slight heaviness in his right hand, a mixture of cold and warmth, and a sense of life and death, light and darkness lingering around him, before finally returning to obscurity after a long while.

Jin Zhuang Yuan Ling exclaimed in surprise, "The True Man is truly remarkable! Could it be that he has received guidance from the Great Emperor of Fengdu?"

This supernatural power involves the cycle of life and death, and is related to karma and calamities. Even those who are Yang Shen would never want to get involved in this level of the Six Paths of Reincarnation!
Lin Xuanzhi smiled without saying a word. He had not received any guidance from the Great Emperor of Fengdu, but had only experienced the Dao Fruit of the Savior of Suffering Dao Lord.

Now he is confident that after refining the Yang God, he will soon be able to master the high-level Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal Technique.
