I have a proficiency panel for alchemy and immortality

Chapter 124 Nirvana Pool

Song Jie looked at the three familiar characters "Tianxianglou" and his forehead seemed to be filled with black lines.

Didn’t we agree to go to the restaurant for a drink?
Why did you end up in a place like Tianxianglou? Is this a proper place for drinking?

"Fellow Daoist Huangfu, are you sure we are not in the wrong place?"

Song Jie blinked and a strange expression appeared on his face.

Huangfu Shen smiled without any shame and said, "We didn't come to the wrong place. Tianxianglou is indeed the most famous place in Danhua Town where you can drink.

"It can drink alcohol, and the word 'lou' is in the name, so it must be a restaurant, right?"

Okay, okay, redefine the restaurant, right?

Song Jie smiled helplessly, without saying anything more, and walked calmly into Tianxiang Tower with Huangfu Shen.

Of course, they didn't go to Tianxiang Tower to have fun.

Instead, they found a private room and asked a prostitute to play the piano for them.

The two of them enjoyed the wine and food while chatting about the interesting things they had experienced over the years, with the sound of piano playing in their ears.

Most of the time, it was Huangfu Shen who was telling about his experiences.

After all, Song Jie's life is rather monotonous, so the only thing that can be talked about is opening a store.

But Huangfu Shen is different. He has been to many places over the years and has extremely rich experiences.

Like walking on the waves in the East China Sea and slaying a dragon, killing the devil in Yunmiao City... and various legendary experiences of robbing the rich and helping the poor.

After hearing this, Song Jie couldn't help but doubt the authenticity of the experiences Huangfu Shen described.

After all, he had never really seen Huangfu Shen fight with anyone until now.

It is not clear what Huangfu Shen’s true cultivation and strength are.

Song Jie had asked Huangfu Shen about his cultivation before, but Huangfu Shen just laughed and did not answer his question directly.

Based on Huangfu Shen's character, Song Jie felt that the other party was most likely not lying, but there was probably some bragging involved.

After Huangfu Shen finished talking, Song Jie asked, "Fellow Daoist Huangfu has a wide range of knowledge. I wonder if you have ever met someone with spiritual roots but no meridians?"

"Someone with spiritual roots but no meridians?" Huangfu Shen asked in surprise, "I've never seen this before.

"Could it be that Brother Song has met someone like this before?"

There was a look of curiosity in Huangfu Shen's eyes.

He was most interested in such anecdotes.

Song Jie nodded and said, “I have an employee who has a special physique with spiritual roots but no meridians.

"He has a single spiritual root of fire attribute, but unfortunately he has no meridians in his body, so he can never find a path of cultivation that suits him."

“It’s a pity for this single spiritual root’s talent.” Huangfu Shen said with regret: “Among the immortal cultivation techniques I know, there is really no one suitable for people without meridians to practice.

"I'm afraid that this employee of Fellow Daoist Song will never be able to achieve immortality in this lifetime."

Song Jie sighed and asked, "Is there any method of body training suitable for him?"

“The path of physical training is not something that everyone can take.

“You must have special blood to embark on the path of body refinement.

“Moreover, the path of body refining is extremely difficult, and the resources required for cultivation are also extremely huge.

"If your employee doesn't have a certain background to support him, he won't be able to go far on this path."

Huangfu Shen shook his head slightly, feeling very sorry for Song Jie's employee.

"Since Fellow Daoist Huangfu can't do anything about it, it seems my employee can only accept his fate."

Except for Huangfu Shen, most of the other people Song Jie knew were ordinary cultivators and they definitely could not give him an answer.

Regarding the matter of Liu Zhicheng, Song Jie only asked Huangfu Shen with the idea of ​​helping in any way he could.

Since things cannot be done, he will not force anything.

Everyone has their own way to go.

He decided to ask Mu Lingxuan again the next time he saw her.

Perhaps Mu Lingxuan couldn't give any answer, but Mu Lingxuan's master was the leader of Danding Sect.

If Mu Lingxuan is willing to help ask his master, there might still be some hope.

If Mu Lingxuan asked the leader of Danding Sect and got the same answer, Song Jie would give up the matter completely.

Just when Song Jie was about to change the topic, Huangfu Shen suddenly chuckled.

“It’s not that I have to accept my fate, although among the techniques I know, there is no technique suitable for people without meridians.

"But your employee is not completely without opportunities to practice."

Hearing this, Song Jie looked puzzled and asked, "But didn't Daoist Huangfu just say that my employee might never be able to become an immortal in this lifetime?"

Huangfu Shen chuckled.

"Fellow Daoist Song, don't be anxious. The reason why I mentioned your employee again is not because he has no chance to practice.

"It's because there is a Nirvana Pond in Scarlet Phoenix Continent. According to rumors, this pond was left behind by a fire phoenix that was reborn from the Nirvana in ancient times.

“The power of nirvana of the fire phoenix still remains within it.

“And this power of Nirvana has the great power to seize the fortune of heaven and earth, and can allow people to be reborn in Nirvana.

“If your employee could take a bath in this Nirvana Pool, he might have a chance to grow meridians.

“However, this Nirvana Pond is not a dead object, but a spiritual object.

“In order to avoid being controlled by the major forces, Nirvana Pool has been hiding everywhere.

“Sometimes it hides in secret places, and sometimes it hides in some unknown corner.

"Fellow Daoist Song's employee is just an ordinary person.

“Let alone finding the Nirvana Pool, even going to Scarlet Phoenix Continent is extremely difficult for him.

"After hearing this, do you still think your employee has a chance to become an immortal?"

Song Jie nodded gently and said, "Crossing a continent is indeed as difficult as ascending to heaven for a mortal.

"Even if my employee is in Chifengzhou, whether he can find the Nirvana Pool is still unknown."

He originally thought that Liu Zhicheng's hope of becoming an immortal had come, but he didn't expect that it was actually a despair that looked like hope.

It is almost impossible for a mortal to walk from one continent to another solely by his own ability.

Not to mention how long the journey is, the dangers that one may encounter along the way are beyond the ability of a mortal to cope with.

Even Song Jie, a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage, did not dare to travel across continents.

Because there are usually natural barriers separating continents.

The natural dangers here not only refer to places with steep terrain, but also to extremely dangerous places.

It is not something that ordinary monks can overcome.

Normally, if monks want to go to other continents, they will choose to take the teleportation formation.

Since monks have spiritual power to protect them, there will be no problem with safety when riding on the teleportation formation.

But it’s different for mortals.

It is difficult for mortals without spiritual power to protect themselves to endure the tearing feeling during the teleportation process.

If it was a short-distance teleportation array, it might be better, but almost no mortal could withstand the intercontinental teleportation array. Even if Liu Zhicheng was lucky enough to be teleported to Chifengzhou, it would be almost impossible to find the Nirvana Pool.

After all, all the major forces in Chifengzhou couldn't find it, and Liu Zhicheng was just a mortal, so the chance of him finding the Nirvana Pool was extremely slim.

Thinking of this, Song Jie couldn't help but observe a second of silence for Liu Zhicheng.

There was no further discussion on this topic afterwards.

If we can find a method, this trip will be a gain.

The next time I see Mu Lingxuan, I’ll see if I can find out other solutions from her.

After pondering for a moment, Song Jie asked again: "Brother Huangfu, your visit to Danhua Town this time should not be just to participate in the 'Xiandan Dao Conference', right?"

The Huangfu Shen he knew was not someone who would be interested in alchemy.

At most, he would be interested in some strange and bizarre elixirs.

Therefore, he guessed that Huangfu Shen might have other purposes in participating in this 'Immortal Pill Discussion Conference'.

Huangfu Shen just smiled and said, "Sure enough, I can't hide it from Brother Song.

“I came here this time to avoid the limelight.

“You just learned about my experiences over the years, which can be said to have made many enemies.

"Now I guess a lot of people want to kill me to vent their hatred.

"A while ago, I happened to hear that the Danding Sect was planning to hold the 'Immortal Pill Discussion Conference', so I rushed here overnight.

“Even if my enemies knew I was here, they wouldn’t dare to come and cause trouble during the Danding Sect’s meeting.

"As for me, I can enjoy some relaxing time here."

Song Jie looked at Huangfu Shen's smiling face. Why didn't he believe what Huangfu Shen said?

His intuition told him that Huangfu Shen's purpose in attending the "Immortal Elixir Conference" was definitely not as simple as he said.

However, since Huangfu Shen was unwilling to say, Song Jie naturally would not ask any further questions.

He immediately asked curiously: "But the last time we met Fellow Daoist Mu in the Shiwan Mountains, didn't Fellow Daoist Huangfu pretend to know the leader of the Danding Sect?

"We came directly to the Danding Sect's territory this time. Aren't you afraid of being discovered by Fellow Daoist Mu?"

As the direct disciple of the leader of Danding Sect, it would be very easy for Mu Lingxuan to verify this matter.

Huangfu Shen heard this, his eyes turned, and he smiled and said: "A few years ago, I have already known the leader of Danding Sect.

“It’s just that our friendship isn’t that deep, but at least we know each other.

"Friend Mu is a smart man. I don't think she would go out of her way to ask her master for confirmation."

After hearing what Huangfu Shen said, Song Jie was speechless.

I just think that Huangfu Shen’s communication skills are really amazing. He said he wanted to get to know the leader of Danding Sect, and he got to know him.

From this point, Song Jie can also deduce that Huangfu Shen's cultivation strength is probably not much weaker than that of the leader of Danding Sect.

Otherwise, it is unlikely that the two would have met.

"Looks like I'm overthinking it."

Song Jie picked up the wine glass and toasted Huangfu Shen.

The two of them drank the wine in their glasses at the same time, and then continued chatting about another topic, without avoiding the prostitute who was playing the piano for them in the private room.

Song Jie has dealt with Tianxiang Tower in Xinyue Market a lot in the past ten years, so he is very familiar with the rules of Tianxiang Tower.

Even if they were talking about some topics targeting the Danding Sect, that prostitute would pretend to know nothing.

They will not make public the content of their conversation in this private room today.

This is the most basic rule of their profession, and every prostitute must abide by it.

If anyone dares to break the rules, Tianxianglou will clean up the mess without the guests having to do anything themselves.

With Huangfu Shen's knowledge, he naturally knew all this very well.

So the two of them enjoyed the wine tonight and had a very pleasant chat.

At the end of the conversation, the two talked about the topic of the "Immortal Elixir Conference" held by the Danding Sect.

"This 'Immortal Pill Discussion Conference' is also a good opportunity for Fellow Daoist Song to make a name for himself.

"Fellow Daoist Song, you can prepare well in the next few days. Don't waste such a good stage."

Hearing what Huangfu Shen said, Song Jie immediately became curious and asked humbly, "Is there any other explanation for this 'Immortal Pill Discussion Conference'?

"Please give me some pointers, Fellow Daoist Huangfu."

Huangfu Shen chuckled and said, "According to the previous 'Immortal Pill Discussion Conference', the entire conference will last about five to ten days.

“In the first few days, Danding Sect will provide a venue for both disciples of Danding Sect and alchemists from outside who come to participate in the conference.

“You can set up a stall in the venue provided by Danding Sect to promote your own elixirs.

“Many small forces that focus on alchemy will take this opportunity to vigorously promote the elixirs they refine.

“If you can gain recognition from a large number of monks, you can quickly increase the popularity of your own forces.

"Fellow Daoist Song has his own business, so he should understand to some extent how important reputation is to a force."

Song Jie nodded and said, “Indeed, if a force wants to grow and develop, fame is essential.

“Only with sufficient fame can we attract talents and inject fresh blood into our own forces.

“And sufficient fame can also help them better expand the scale of their business and earn more spiritual stones.

"Only with enough spirit stones can our power continue to grow..."

The spiritual stones and cultivation resources of the major forces obviously did not come from the wind. They all run some industries to some extent.

Even the five major sects are like this.

The most typical one is Tianxiang Pavilion.

As one of the pillar industries of Tianxiang Pavilion, Tianxiang Tower has opened businesses in almost all the cities and towns in Yunmozhou.

Of course, Tianxiang Tower is not the only industry of Tianxiang Pavilion.

The reason why the five major sects are able to become the five major sects is that the industries they are involved in are naturally not too single.

For example, the Danding Sect’s main industry is definitely the sale of elixirs.

In addition to selling elixirs, the Danding Sect actually also has a business of spiritual weapons and talismans.

But in terms of scale, it is far smaller than the elixir business that they are good at.

These are also what Song Jie has learned after living in this world of immortal cultivation for more than ten years.

A normally functioning world of immortal cultivation must have a stable social structure, with everyone performing their respective duties and working together to maintain the normal operation of the immortal cultivation society.

These ten years of cultivating immortals have indeed, to some extent, shattered Song Jie's fantasy about the world of cultivating immortals.

His ideal life of cultivating immortality is to turn a deaf ear to the world outside and focus on seeking immortality.

In fact, even those who practice Taoism need to work hard to make a living.

This is true for individuals, and it is also true for power.

If you are cultivating immortality, then you are not yet an immortal.

Since I am not a fairy, how can I be extraordinary and transcendent...
