I can't live forever, so I have to reincarnate infinitely

Chapter 337 Plague and Salvation

At this point, Du Youqian has mastered three magical powers.

They are the "copper skin and iron bones" obtained from Wukong as a child, the "instant healing" that he independently understood, and the space magical power "so close to the end of the world" that he learned with reference to Xia Chuchu's magical powers.

It is a pity that although he has the earth element of heavenly spiritual roots in this life, he has never realized the magical power of the earth element. It is also a pity.

After realizing this magical power, Du Youqian went to the death passage to try again.

The magical power of "So close to the end of the world" is indeed of great help to him. When encountering dense space cracks or other extremely dangerous road sections, he can use the magical power of "So close to the end of the world" to make those space cracks, space turbulence, etc. completely inaccessible. to him!
But Du Youqian still didn't go deep this time.

Using magical powers also requires consuming mana and spiritual consciousness.

If it is all used up, even if I have all kinds of abilities, I won't be able to use them.

Spiritual diamonds that can replenish mana also have limitations.

What's more, spiritual consciousness cannot be replenished in a short period of time.

He decided to wait until he reached the perfection of the golden elixir before risking his life and breaking through the death passage. By then, he should have greater confidence.

In Du Youqian's life, it only took more than 40 years from the beginning of elixir formation to the middle stage of golden elixir.

It only took less than 80 years to go from the middle to the late stage of Jindan.

However, it has been 150 years since he broke through to the late stage of the Golden Elixir, but he has not yet reached the perfection of the Golden Elixir.

On the one hand, it's because he has devoted a lot of time and energy to comprehending magical powers and sword intent over the years. His strength has more than doubled?But in terms of cultivation, it is naturally a little slower.

On the other hand, it was because Monan's spiritual energy had been declining.

Although in the past, when he was refining his body, he did not need rich spiritual energy, but only needed a lot of human luck. However, after he re-completed the "Xuanzhen Three Yuanbao Jue", he began to pay attention to the simultaneous advancement of essence, energy and spirit, so he was very interested in spiritual energy. Demand began to increase again.

Monan's spiritual energy concentration dropped, which undoubtedly hindered him.

However, Du Youqian estimates based on his own situation that if he devotes himself to cultivation, he should be able to achieve the perfection of the Golden Elixir in a few decades before he is four hundred years old.

The three magical powers were enough for the time being, so Du Youqian gradually became less involved in state affairs and did not wander around the world to learn the magical powers. Instead, he obediently returned to Dangpo Mountain and began to practice with concentration.

Taoist Aunt Mei came to stay for a while. Although the ostensible reason was to send a message to Elder Wufei that the next heaven-sacrifice ceremony was about to begin, Du Youqian could tell that she missed him and came here to have a look.

She and Du Youqian still didn't pierce the window paper, and they maintained calm restraint.

On this day, Du Youqian asked her: "Hasn't Elder Wufei achieved the perfection of the golden elixir yet?"

Master Wuai shook his head, "Master said that now that Monan is in decline, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has dropped a lot compared to hundreds of years ago. He feels that there is no hope for him to break through to the perfection of the golden elixir."

Du Youqian was a little stunned, "Then his end is approaching."

Master Wuai said uncertainly: "Master still has a lifespan of about one or two hundred years, right? In the late stage of the Golden elixir, one has a lifespan of eight hundred, and our sect's exercises are of great benefit in prolonging life, not to mention Master. It’s not difficult to get some life-extending spiritual things. He should be able to live to be close to nine hundred years old. He hasn’t even passed his seven hundredth birthday yet.”

Du Youqian pondered.

He had actually considered letting Master Wufei break through that passage with him.

There is a successor to the Taihe Sect, and it is none other than Zhenren himself, and he is not a person who is attached to power and position. He has a noble character and is dedicated to the great road. It should be easy for him to persuade him to give up the Taihe Sect and go to the outside world to pursue breakthroughs.

But what if Wufei Zhenren disagrees?

I can't kill Wu Fei Zhenren.

It's not that he is not strong enough, but that Du Youqian is not a murderous person, and he is not willing to kill Wu Fei, a rare good person in the spiritual world.

But that channel cannot be leaked.

So Du Youqian was a little unsure.

However, it was not impossible. He could make Master Wufei swear with his soul not to leak the matter before informing him.

He was not in a hurry at first and wanted to wait until Master Wufei broke through to the perfection of the golden elixir before talking about this matter, but now it seems that Master Wufei himself is not sure about breaking through to the perfection of the golden elixir.

Perhaps, it's time to find a chance to have a good talk with Wufei Zhenren.

Taoist Sister Mei stayed with him for a while and then left. Du Youqian continued to practice.

After another heaven-sacrifice ceremony, Du Youqian simply retreated to Dangpo Mountain.

This round of hard training lasted until he was 360 years old.

It's not that his realm has broken through, or that there's anything abnormal in the world of cultivation.

Instead, some strange diseases have appeared sporadically in the human world. The disease has a high mortality rate and is highly contagious. It seems to be spread through the air and is considered a plague.

In such a situation, it is natural to ask the Heavenly Master to take action and hold a ceremony to offer sacrifices to heaven to pray for blessings and to ward off disasters.

Du Youqian didn't care too much. At such a level of productivity, the plague and the resulting large number of deaths were inevitable.Unless the monks are willing to take action, a large number of monks come to help heal the mortals.

But would the monks do this?

The purpose of practicing hard is not to be a nanny for mortals...

So it's definitely not going to work.

Du Youqian just went through the motions and planned to visit all the nine countries. Every time he visited a country, he would hold a ceremony to pray for blessings and ward off disasters. He would also do some image projects, receive some carefully selected sick mortals, and spend mana and elixirs on them. Healing, to maintain one's qualifications as a heavenly master.

Don't blame him for being cruel, he doesn't want to be a nanny for a mortal either.

What he can do, apart from the face-saving project, is to order all countries to carry out disaster relief, formulate and distribute some advanced concepts on preventing and treating infectious diseases, and then ask medical hospitals in various countries to organize doctors across the country to research and treat the plague, and then kill them. A group of corrupt officials took advantage of the opportunity.

We can't really let him treat patients day and night.

Not even the Immaculate Conception would do such a thing.

Du Youqian set out from Wu State, then Qi State, and when he was preparing to go to Yan State, he found that the situation was out of control.

There are countless new patients in various countries every day. In some cities, entire cities are infected with the disease and die, and many towns and villages are deserted...

That terrifying scene made Du Youqian understand that this was obviously no ordinary plague. Such a strong contagion and such a high mortality rate were many times more terrifying than smallpox!
If it is not dealt with in time, only one tenth of the 40 billion mortals in the world may die!

Even without sympathy, Du Youqian could not accept the loss of human luck.

What's more, he is not hard-hearted.

Du Youqian immediately stopped putting on a show, and instead organized a large-scale ceremony to worship the heaven. He then called Taoist Sister Shangmei to perform a ceremony that was superficially formal, but actually regulated yin and yang and sorted out the earth's veins.

However, the situation is not optimistic, and the spread of the plague has not slowed down.

A large number of panicked mortals brought the plague to every corner of the world.

Faced with such a critical situation, Du Youqian only thought of one way: to ask the Taihe Sect to come forward and organize major sects to provide disaster relief. Ordinary monks would be dispatched to control the patients, divide the epidemic areas, and not allow people to circulate; monks with alchemy skills would participate together. Research and develop elixirs, study common drugs that can be grown on a large scale, and refine elixirs that can cure the plague.

As for the Holy Blood Sect... the large-scale plague is just the carnival of the Demon Sect camp. They can get so many souls and blood essence to refine magic weapons without having to worry about provoking a war. It's not too late for them to be happy!

Therefore, Du Youqian could only place his hope in the Xuanmen authentic camp.

But Wu Feizhen refused without hesitation.

"The Immortal Sect should not get involved in mundane affairs. The plague is a result of the shortcomings of humanity, and the Immortal Sect cannot do anything about it."

Master Wuai said expressionlessly: "That's what Master said."

Du Youqian lowered his head and thought for a while, "What about you? What do you think?"

Master Wuai said: "Pindao will obey the arrangements of fellow Taoists. In order to save the common people in the world, Pindao will not hesitate to do anything."

Du Youqian heard the unwavering will in her voice.

Taoist Sister Mei is slightly older than him in this life, and is about to turn four hundred years old. She is currently trapped in the middle stage of the Golden Elixir, unable to break through to the late Golden Elixir stage.

If she can't break through, her end will come as scheduled in two hundred years.

Du Youqian wanted to help her.

But there was no reason to help her.

However, if she had done a lot for herself in the fight against the plague, in the future he would be able to offer to save her soul, and then personally send her to reincarnate in the human world, and then introduce her to Taoism.

As for who she was in her previous life...it doesn't matter anymore.

Du Youqian didn't want to pursue it anymore.

So what if it's Long Ruzhen, so what if it's not?
Du Youqian devoted himself to the study of plague.

But he had no knowledge of modern medicine, so he could only treat headaches and pains, look for symptomatic treatments, and try to refine elixirs.

As for the cause of the disease, the route of transmission, the way the virus replicates, etc... he is not capable of studying it.

One person's research efficiency is really low.

But soon, Master Wufei sent someone to say that he agreed with Du Youqian's proposal and was ready to call on all Taoist orthodox sects in the world to join in the action of saving mortals initiated by Du Youqian.

As for why...

"I heard that mortals in the blessed land are also dying in large numbers, and all the sects can't sit still." Taoist Aunt Mei quietly told Du Youqian.
