Taoist help me live forever

Chapter 213 Qi Chunshen's journey of self-salvation
Wang Shufu City.

There is a mountain two hundred miles away from the suburbs called Qiliu Mountain, which is the foundation of the Qi family of the Foundation Establishment family.

It is said that Patriarch Qi's death was approaching, but when he went out to look for a golden elixir opportunity, he got a life-prolonging elixir, and successfully extended his life for twenty years.

Three years ago, Patriarch Qi returned to the family, claiming that golden pill opportunities are hard to find, and he doesn't want to waste the last 20 years in his hometown.

So I founded a senior care organization called Huaniaoshe, where I invite fellow Taoists who are fond of Huaniao to communicate with each other on weekdays, indulge in the mountains and rivers, and chat to survive.

However, the entrance threshold of Huaniao Club is quite high, and they are all foundation-building old monks who are as hopeless as the ancestor Qi.

After three years of development, the Flower and Bird Society has already had more than a dozen Foundation Establishment members, all of whom are elderly Foundation Establishment members of the nearby Foundation Establishment family.

Among them, there are many foundation-building peak monks who have the same level of cultivation as Patriarch Qi.

this day.

On a beautiful barren hill,
An elegant banquet with flowing water has just ended.

All the old monks who established the foundation put away their unrestrained bodies, or held the zither, or the flute, or rode the crane, bid farewell to the fellows, and left in the air, looking like an old fairy in the mountains.

Only two old monks with deep breathing remained, and gathered in a stone pavilion.

Qi Chunshen was among them.

"Fellow Daoist Zeng, you are convinced of what you entrusted to the old man."

"The Datong Association is actually real?"

Sitting next to Qi Chunshen was an elderly monk wearing a blue uniform, who looked like an old rich man. His hair was thin and grey, but it was kept neat and tidy. He was obviously a person who valued the quality of life.

The name of the old monk was Zeng An. He was a casual cultivator. After 120 years of painstaking practice, he finally reached the peak of foundation building.

However, it is extremely difficult for casual cultivators to take a step forward and break through the golden core realm.

He spent 30 years at the top of the foundation building, but it was still difficult to get a glimpse of the opportunity of Jindan, so he found a foundation building family to take care of him for the elderly, and he was quite leisurely on weekdays.

Until Qi Chunshen suddenly set up a flower and bird club, he reluctantly joined it due to the invitation of his fellow friends.

I plan to come here a few times casually, to deal with it and kill some time.

Unexpectedly, an accident made him discover the true face of the Flower and Bird Club. It turned out that Qi Chunshen, the president of the Flower and Bird Club, had the opportunity to prolong his life when he went out, and this opportunity came from a mysterious organization called the Datong Association.

It is even said that the Datong Society loves the world so much, and has given golden elixirs to people who are destined to give them many times. Even an old monk with no hope of future like him can have the opportunity to get it.

This made Zeng An start to pay attention to the activities of the Flower and Bird Club.

After his deliberate friendship, President Qi finally let go, and agreed to help him inquire. Thinking of the opportunity to break through the golden elixir, he couldn't restrain his excitement.

Qi Chunshen also sighed secretly when he saw Zeng An impatiently stretching his head over to be slaughtered.

He was not like that back then.

As soon as fellow Taoist Canglang said that he had the opportunity to break through the golden core realm, he ignored everything and swore that he was willing to give anything.

In the end, although he made a breakthrough and prolonged his life by two hundred years, his free life is in the hands of others from then on.

After careful calculation, I don't know whether it is a gain or a loss.

But this emotion was quickly suppressed by him.

No matter what, I chose it myself, so there is no need to blame others.

He coughed lightly, and said in a very forced tone:
"Fellow Daoist Zeng, I'm only telling you about this matter, you must never tell others, otherwise this old man may be trampled on."

Zeng An nodded again and again: "President Qi, don't worry, I didn't even tell my disciples about this."

He devoted himself to cultivation, never got married, his family members were all dead when he was young, but there were still some great-nephews and descendants of great-great-great-nephews who had no concern for him.

The closest he is now is the apprentice who has taken him in for the elderly, and even the apprentice keeps the secret from him.

Only then did Qi Chunshen nod his head and said, "So, the old man can rest assured."

In fact, he wished that Fellow Daoist Zeng would secretly promote it for him, but in order to maintain mystery and class, he still had to remind him of these words every time.

"First of all, I would like to congratulate Fellow Daoist Zeng. Because the Datong Association is in urgent need of manpower, as soon as I talked about Fellow Daoist Zeng with the meeting, they promised the old man that they would send people to investigate soon.

If Zeng Daoyou meets the requirements, he can apply for membership.

And once you decide to join the club, you can get a golden pill opportunity. As far as I know, the chance of breaking through is more than [-]%. "

Zeng An was overjoyed.

He originally thought that the so-called Golden Core Opportunity was just a core-forming spiritual object, which would increase the chance of breaking through by [-] to [-] percent, which would be great.

I didn't expect there to be an [-]% chance.

Is it...

Some widely circulated magical secrets flashed in his mind.

When he had no breakthrough in the past, he also had a cruel heart, wanting to find the secret method of breaking through the golden core in the devil's way, even if the method was cruel.

As a result, he found out very sadly that even the so-called inhumane and wrathful magic secrets, involving the level of golden core, are not something ordinary people can find.

Without that relationship and fate, even if he wanted to betray his conscience, he would have no chance.

"President Qi, I don't know when the envoys from the meeting will come, so the old man should prepare earlier."

Qi Chunshen said with a faint smile: "Fellow Daoist Zeng, an inspection is an inspection. I don't know when the person will come. Maybe he came before I spoke to Fellow Daoist. It may not be certain that the inspection is over now."

"After all, it's a golden elixir chance, fellow daoists, don't be in a hurry. Although there is an urgent need for manpower in the meeting, it's not like everyone will accept it."

"Yes." Zeng An nodded again and again, "It's me, Meng Lang."

It's just that he didn't calm down for a while, and couldn't help asking:
"President Qi, you are so familiar with the Datong Association, why didn't you see that the Datong Association gave you a golden elixir opportunity?"

Qi Chunshen sighed and asked another question instead.

"Friend Daoist Zeng, do you really believe that there will be a Datong in the world who will help each other like this, and everyone is my organization?"

Zeng An was stunned for a moment, his face gradually became difficult to look.

"President Qi means that the matter of the Datong Association is a lie to the old man?"

Qi Chunshen shook his head: "No, the Great Harmony Society certainly does exist.

It's just that the old man wants to tell Fellow Daoist Zeng that there is no good thing in the world, how precious a golden elixir opportunity is, and if you want to get it, you have to pay an unbearable price. "

Zeng An smiled and said, "What did I think it was? I have practiced for so many years, and I have long since disbelieved in free lunches. If there really is such a selfless organization, I would still worry about fraud.

It turned out that there was a price to pay, but the old man felt relieved.

The old man has less than 20 years of life left, if he doesn't dare to put in the effort, then his whole life of cultivation will be in vain.

What is the unbearable price?
As long as it is not the old man's life, any price can be borne. "

Qi Chunshen smiled wryly: "Fellow Daoist Zeng sees clearly, if that's the case, fellow Daoist can wait with peace of mind.

At most half a month, the old man will be notified during the meeting whether the fellow daoist can be selected. "

Zeng An stood up contentedly, and thanked Qi Chunshen.

"When the old man joins the Datong Association, he must bring a big gift to thank the president."

"We're waiting for the good news from fellow Daoist Zeng."

Qi Chun returned the gift.

Until Zeng An left, Qi Chunshen was still sitting there, guessing in his heart the merits of introducing Zeng An to join the association, plus the merit points he had saved, when would he be able to get a thousand merit points.

"I hope he lives longer."

According to the newly added rules of the Datong Association.

He introduced the members who joined the club, and each member would reward him with ten merit points.

And before the new member becomes an official member, one-tenth of the merit points obtained after completing each mission will become his reward.

In other words, in theory, he introduced ten members to join the club, and when all ten of them became full members, he would be able to recover his freedom lying down.

However, things are far from that simple.

Because people are mortal.

He returned to Qi's family for more than three years, introduced eight people to join the association, and five were selected by the association.

All five of them successfully broke through to become False Dan monks and became probationary members of the Datong Association.

But in just three years, one of the five had already died in the monster hunting operation.

As the third-rank low-rank demon kings of the Jinpeng Demon Vessel were hunted down one by one, their hunting environment became more and more severe.

After all, the other demon kings are not fools, and the disappearance of a few demon kings at the beginning can be regarded as cannibalism, the replacement of the old and new demon kings.

This kind of thing happens almost every once in a while.

But as more and more demon kings disappeared, other demon kings realized that something was wrong even if there was a large formation to cover up the movement.

The demon king has wisdom that is not inferior to that of humans, but the environment in which they live in daily life makes them get used to the laws of the primeval jungle, and they are used to speaking with their muscles.

When they use their wits, it's a nightmare for people like them.

Qi Chunshen still remembered that he had hunted demons in the Jinpeng Yaomai for four years.

At the beginning, he applied for the assistance of Fellow Daoist Canglang and Fellow Daoist Violent Ape, supplemented by a large formation that covered the sky and the earth, and hunted down the third-rank low-rank demon king.

But he knew that hunting the demon king was like dancing on the tip of a knife.

So every time he chooses a target to hunt and kill, he is very cautious, and he must be a bully third-level lower-level demon king, preferably one who has broken through not long ago before daring to shoot.

So don't look at the fact that the real battle with the demon king is not long, but the preliminary preparations, investigation of intelligence, etc. need to lie in ambush nearby for more than half a year.

Safety first.

He lived smoothly for two years and successfully hunted down two demon kings. Fellow Daoist Gui, who was also a rookie, had the same record.

The two demon kings are worth 99 merits each, but in fact, the real gain is only one merit, and the cost is [-] merits.

Fortunately, the demon king's collection is pretty good, and every exchange of spoils can bring hundreds of points of meritorious service.

But these loot must also be shared with fellow daoists who came to assist.

Therefore, the success of the two missions brought him more than 100 points of merit.

So later, when Fellow Daoist Gui came to him and was about to cooperate with him, he agreed without thinking too long.

In this case, neither of them need to invite other people to assist, and it is enough to apply for the overwhelming formation once, and the cost is greatly reduced.

In the next two years, he cooperated with fellow Daoist Gui, and with the help of the Shrouding Formation, he hunted down a total of two demon kings, both of which were low-rank third rank.

But the merit points harvested are more than 200.

He is full of confidence, feeling that according to the current progress, he will be able to regain his freedom in less than ten years.

As a result, the dream is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.

When they hunted the demon king again, they were ambushed by the demon king—two demon kings suddenly came out of the cave, and one of them was an old demon king of the middle rank of the third rank.

If it wasn't for the fact that the covering formation was silent and powerful enough to be a Golden Core cultivator when it was launched, and the tortoise shell magic weapon in the hands of the old fellow Taoist tortoise could avoid evil, they wouldn't even have the chance to escape. No.

It's just that in order to compensate for the overwhelming formation disk destroyed by the demon king afterwards, the two of them each paid fifty meritorious service, which can be said to be a loss to the grandma's family.

He thought it was an accident.

It wasn't until fellow Daoist Gui reminded him that he realized belatedly that Jinpeng's demon veins suddenly had a pair of palm-sized potential members of the Datong Association.

They are also cooperating with each other, hunting down the demon king with the help of the power of the formation.

The addition of competitors made it more difficult for them to hunt and kill the demon king, and they had to gather more fake Dan monks to do a task.

Originally, two fake Dan monks could complete the hunting mission, but now there must be four to ensure their own safety.

However, this is not unacceptable.

But the accumulation of merit has changed from ten years to 20 years.

until that day.

They couldn't wait to finish the negotiation, and they were going to take a new demon king for surgery.

A third-tier top-rank demon king was in ambush outside the demon king's cave.

Before they had time to set up their formation, they saw the demon king rushing out. These fake alchemy monks were not all-in-one enemies at all.

If he hadn't happened to be in charge of manipulating the array and quickly opened the covering array to hide himself, he might have killed the demon king's subordinates as well.

The companion who fought side by side yesterday, and secretly fought for a few meritorious deeds just died at the hands of the Demon King, without leaving a word of last words.

He was afraid.

No matter how old the Datong Association is, and how powerful the masters in the association are, these fake Dan monks who are called reserve members are obviously cannon fodder in the eyes of others.

So Qi Chunshen never dared to hunt the demon king again.

Follow the rules of the meeting.

Every time a task is completed, there is a one-year rest period.

He completed two missions independently, and completed two missions in cooperation with fellow Daoist Gui, a total of three years of rest.

Once the rest time is over, you need to pay the task overdue fee to the meeting every year, ten meritorious service in the first year, twenty meritorious service in the second year, and so on.

Late fees cannot be recalculated until a task is completed.

Once the meritorious service is insufficient and the task is not completed, then it will be the end of the death of the soul.

Qi Chunshen has been back for three years, and the rest time has been used up. From the next year, he will start to pay late fees.

But Qi Chunshen thought he had found a loophole in this rule.

As long as he keeps introducing new members to the club, he can continuously get merit points, and even earn money.

In the tenth year, he will pay for a third-tier demon pill and hand it over to Huizhong. Not only will he be able to rest for an extra year, but the overdue fee will be recalculated.

Anyway, only demon pills were requested in the meeting, but it was never said that fresh demon pills were required.

So his cost can be greatly reduced.

Theoretically speaking, he could accumulate a thousand meritorious service without putting himself in danger.

In other words, he directly earned 1000 million spirit stones, bought ten third-order demon pills, and could leave the Datong Association.

So while trying his best to find suitable members for the meeting, he began to save spirit stones, even at the expense of revealing part of his identity.

How did Zeng An know about his relationship with the Datong Association? Wasn't he the one who exposed it on his own initiative?

Although he knew that doing so would bring certain risks to the family, for the sake of the freedom of his ancestor, this risk was inevitable.

Qi Chunshen looked at the sea of ​​trees in the distance, the wind blew past, and there was a rustling sound in the mountains, like a mountain god whispering.

He sighed faintly.

If he hadn't met Fellow Daoist Canglang that day, and hadn't hastily agreed to join the Datong Association, then he...

"Probably regret it." Qi Chunshen laughed at himself, "This is a golden pill."

"And... 420 six, this is the merit points I have accumulated now. As long as I attract enough people, I will definitely be able to accumulate enough. It may not be impossible to regain freedom within a hundred years."
