Ming Dynasty: Emperor Wanshou is cultivating immortality!

If you look closely, you will find that there is a hidden excitement flashing in his eyes.

"The life of anyone I come into contact with will be instantly captured by my life, and as long as I stay close to them for a long enough time, my life will condense an identical talent seed in myself."

“Although I cannot make this talent seed condense into my second innate talent, I can make this seed take root and sprout based on the innate talent I copied.”

"Thus condensing the innate magical power!"

"But just now, I grabbed Darry Marshall's hand, but there was no reaction at all. This can only mean two things. Either Darry Marshall doesn't have a life at all, or..."

Thinking of this, Li Yufu felt a surge of heat in his heart.

"Conceptual destiny, also known as 'rootless destiny'!"

Among the many innate powers, the concept innate power is undoubtedly extremely powerful. I have never encountered it before in all these years.

The main reason is that the imperial court had already made clear regulations.

Once a child with a conceptual destiny appears among the descendants of a certain monk family, he can be directly reported to the local government and trained by the court.

This also leads to the fact that in the Ming world, with so many cultivators, it stands to reason that many conceptual-type natal figures should have shown up, but they rarely appear among the common people.

The main reason was that he was recruited by the imperial court. Therefore, you can imagine how surprised he was when he found out that Darry Marshall's destiny was actually a conceptual destiny!

This was a complete adventure for someone like him who could copy other people's innate talents and condense his supernatural powers.

The concept-based destiny is too strong and unique! Most importantly, even if the most elite medical team of the imperial court takes action personally, they cannot change the concept-based destiny!
Concept, what is a concept? It is said that it is invisible and formless, can only be described, or even can only be understood. If you open your sea of ​​consciousness, you may not see anything.

Therefore, all the major chambers of commerce, immortal clans, sects, companies, and even the imperial court, if they discover that someone has a conceptual nature, they will immediately recruit him to be trained under their command.

For conceptual-type natal beings, resources are not a problem at all for these big forces, and they are sufficient to be nurtured and grown with resources.

Once a person with a conceptual destiny finds his or her destiny object, becoming an immortal is almost certain.

The most important thing is that the conceptual nature is too powerful.

Let’s take the simplest example. If a person’s conceptual nature is “time” and “space”, then who can compete with the magical powers derived from time and space?
Not to mention, time and space have all kinds of incredible uses.

Even if it is not time, space, etc., but other types of concepts, it is enough to make you invincible in battles within the territory!
"Darry Marshall, maybe I can use this guy!"

Li Yufu glanced at Darry Marshall, who looked honest and decent, standing beside him, and felt extremely confident.

In fact, no one knows.
There is a greater ambition hidden in his heart.

He no longer wanted to live this kind of life of hiding from place to place, and he also wanted to establish his own sect.

He knew that one day in the future, the Ming Dynasty would inevitably continue to expand overseas and start the road of expansion again.

Because, more than two hundred years have passed since the last time a star field was annexed.

More than two hundred years have passed, and the resources obtained from the annexation of a star field have long been digested internally.

Next, the Xian Dynasty will inevitably have to deal with the problem of uneven distribution of internal resources, which will lead to social conflicts.

Therefore, the outbreak of war is inevitable.

At this time, if he had built up a sectarian force of his own before this, he would be able to participate in the next war of opening up overseas areas.

After that, he can take the opportunity to take root outside the domain.

He wants to become bigger and stronger and become one of those high and mighty giant chambers of commerce, immortal clans, and sects.

Even in the future, he wants his forces to dominate an entire planet.

In order to achieve all this, he must have strong enough left and right arms under his command.

There is no doubt that Darry Marshall, who has unlimited potential and a conceptual nature, is the best candidate.

Looking at Darry Marshall, who had reached the Golden Core Stage but was very easy to talk to and even a little reserved when communicating with others, Li Yufu smiled in his heart.

"This kid's destiny is a conceptual destiny, but he didn't get accepted into the imperial court, or he was under some powerful forces. Obviously, his family didn't have this concept when he was very young."

"Or his family members simply don't take it seriously. It's obvious that this kind of person has been through a lot."

"All you need to do is show him some kindness, trap him with kindness, and then tempt him with benefits. It won't be difficult to subdue him!"

Passing through the bustling and bustling town where nothing seemed out of the ordinary, they unknowingly arrived at the City God Temple.

Just as Li Yufu was thinking about it, Han Feng's steady and low voice sounded in his heart.

Divine consciousness transmission!

Those who had read guides on the dark web naturally knew that some rules in the secret realms could not be known by the creatures in the secret realms, and they could not even be discovered as outsiders.

"We're here!" Everyone gathered their minds and looked forward.

"According to the rules, the first thing to do when entering the town is to take three incense sticks in front of the City God Temple and stain the end of the incense with the blood of the left ring finger. If the old woman selling kites tries to stop you, you must bury the bronze mirror under the third blue brick on the east side of the locust tree in front of the temple."

Han Feng's spiritual sense sounded, and everyone reached into their pockets for the bronze mirror and other basic items.

Then, he looked at the huge bronze tripod in front of the City God Temple.

I saw that the room was filled with burning incense sticks and there were people burning incense around.

Not far away, there was a man with gray hair, holding a lot of kites in his hands, leaning over and selling them to the children in a friendly manner.

As dusk falls and the sun sets, the orange sunset glow in the distance illuminates the City God Temple incomparably bright.

A warm orange glow appears on the bluestone road in front of the City God Temple.

In front of the City God Temple, the scent of sandalwood mixed with locust flowers was crushed into wisps of smoke by the evening breeze.

The lanterns hanging on both sides of the vermilion lacquered door lintel lit up, and the ink-drawn picture of Zhong Kui catching ghosts on the silk gauze came alive in the candlelight.

In the open space in front of the temple.

A twenty-meter-long silk with an iris pattern hung from the eaves of the temple, rustling with fine gold foil.

Seven or eight gold-painted wooden windmills were turning happily in the draft; the sound of copper bells colliding with the sign of a tavern in the distance, continuously making a crisp "ding-dong-dong" sound.

The old man selling sugar paintings shook the copper spoon gently.

The amber syrup flows like a dragon, and the burnt aroma is mixed with the surprised noises of children.

On one side of the City God Temple, a large ship passed by, and the sound of a pipa was accompanied by the crisp sounds of sandalwood boards hitting the rhythm.

The teahouse on the other side also had carved wooden windows, and the storyteller's wake-up stick "popped" and startled the tea mist in the room.

Afterwards, the storyteller's "Yiya" voice was heard in an ups and downs manner, and then a sad and touching story of the fox fairy and the scholar began.

The sweet smell of roasted chestnuts wafted from the dark alley around the corner, mixed with the freshly ground jasmine powder on the rouge.

The fragrance drifted through the long street with the night wind.

"Clang, clang, clang!"

The sound of a gong opening the way came from the end of the alley, and several puppet troupes came on stage.

Han Feng, Li Huaizhong, Su Nan, Ryan, Li Yufu and Darry Marshall looked around coldly at the scene before them.

The City God Temple in front of them was extremely bustling, but the few people there were no simple characters. They naturally realized that this bustling scene of the City God Temple, which was no different from the outside world, was actually hiding something weird.

Because they were ignored!

They are all monks, so they can naturally feel that being ignored and being disregarded are two completely different feelings.

It seems harmonious, but this liveliness has nothing to do with them.

"The hour of You is almost here, let's get the incense." Han Feng didn't waste any words. He stepped forward first, took three incense sticks, and scratched the tip of his ring finger with his thumb nail. Blood quickly dyed the end of the incense red.

Seeing this scene, Li Huaizhong, Su Nan, Li En, Li Yufu and Darry Marshall also came forward to take the incense.

However, when it was Darry Marshall's turn, something unexpected happened.

"Snap!" Just as Darry Marshall was about to get the incense, a dry old hand suddenly grabbed his wrist.

Darry Marshall's wrist was suddenly grabbed, but his expression did not change at all. He just looked to the side in confusion.

Of course, at this moment, there were also Han Feng, Li Huaizhong, Su Nan, Ryan and Li Yufu looking towards Darry Marshall.

“If you are stopped by the old woman selling kites, you must bury the bronze mirror under the third blue brick on the east side of the locust tree in front of the temple.” Almost at the same time, several people remembered the rules about entering the town and encountering obstacles when taking incense.

"Young man, can you give me this incense?" The old woman who spoke was wearing a dark red long dress with kites printed on it, and holding a bunch of kites of various styles in her hands.

The old woman had deep eye sockets and dark eye bags that were almost black. Her eyes looked extremely cloudy. Her face was full of wrinkles and there was an unpleasant smell on her body.

“Hehe…” The old woman smiled, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth covered with tartar, and said, “There are so many incense sticks, but I want to go back and put these three new ones under my grandson’s spirit tablet.”

"I don't know if you can give it up, I am willing to exchange the kite for three incense sticks from you."

Hearing this, Darry Marshall glanced at Han Feng and the other four, then silently put down the three incense sticks in his hand.

"Good man, thank you very much." The old woman smiled and picked up the three incense sticks, then handed the kite in her hand to Darry Marshall.

Afterwards, the old man left with three incense sticks.

Seeing this, Darry Marshall did not hesitate, turned around and walked towards the old locust tree in front of the temple, and the others immediately followed.

It’s not that they were so kind as to want to accompany Darry Marshall, but they wanted to see the third blue brick on the east side of the locust tree.

Darry Marshall soon found the third blue brick on the east side of the locust tree and buried the bronze mirror in his pocket.

"Next, we need to check into the inn at 3:30 pm." Han Feng used his spiritual sense to speak to everyone, his expression solemn, and said: "We all know that the difficulty of the secret realm will be set according to the level of cultivation of the team members."

"Among us, my cultivation is the highest, having reached the middle stage of the Golden Core. This means that the difficulty level of this secret realm has reached the late Golden Core stage or even the Nascent Soul stage."

"We have just entered the town and one of us has already encountered obstacles. I think it will not be easy to check into the inn next. But before that, we need to go to the west of the town and check the lanterns hanging on the eaves of the Huangyang Inn."

"If it's a white lantern, we can move in. If it's a red lantern, we can't move in."

"When I entered the town just now, I wanted to use my spiritual sense to observe, but the strength of our spiritual sense at the Jindan stage was suppressed to within half a foot around us."

"That means we must head to the west of the town immediately, and then go to the inn."

"During this period, we also need to determine the red and white colors of the Zhenxi Lantern."

"There's simply not enough time!"

"Not only that, we are not sure whether the color of the lanterns we see will be the same after we arrive at the location!"

Hearing this, everyone's faces darkened slightly. Apparently, they had not thought about this before.

It’s not that their IQ is not high, but that they lack experience.

After all, their previous knowledge of the secret realm was limited to what other people had told them.

Hearing Han Feng say this, he suddenly reacted.

But soon, a strange look appeared in the eyes of several people when they looked at Han Feng.

Han Feng's performance is completely different from theirs.

It was as if he had experienced a secret realm before!
It can be said that all possible emergencies have been thought of.

"The difficulty of the secret realm is at the Nascent Soul stage level. We must prepare for the worst!" Although Han Feng noticed the strange looks in everyone's eyes, he didn't care.

"My dear Han, I have also noticed that you are more familiar with the secret realm than us. What should we do next? Tell us." At this time, Li Huaizhong, who had previously proposed to form a team, spoke.

"Two," Han Feng raised two fingers and told everyone with his spiritual sense: "First, let's go to West Town together."

"During this process, if someone sees white lanterns at Huangyangyi, they should go to the inn. As for those who see red lanterns, they should find a safe place to hide."

"Besides, this is only the first day. I don't know if we will see changes on the second day."

“Therefore, we must go to Huangyangyi to see the lanterns every day!”

"Let's talk about tonight first. During this period, we are not sure whether the others can ensure their own safety if both Jindan stage cultivators are to stay in the inn."

"If there is one person who sees the same thing as everyone else, then this person is responsible for protecting that person!"

"Hiding doesn't mean you need to hide in a corner and wait until dawn. You need to collect as many clues as possible to pass the level!"

"We'll meet up the next day!"

"So, we take turns until we find all the clues and pass the secret realm!" Hearing this, everyone nodded, thinking that Han Feng's considerations were very reasonable.

After looking at each other, they both nodded.

"What about the second one?" Li Huaizhong looked at Han Feng and asked.

"The second is to go your own way, look for clues on your own, and don't need to be responsible for others and bear your own losses. In my experience, there are many possibilities for breaking into secret realms."

“There is not only one way to pass the level!”

"In a team, no one can guarantee whether a certain person will drag down the others in this challenge."

"Since we have decided to form a team from the beginning, then everyone must be in good order and not abandon or give up!"

"If something unexpected happens, no one can complain to another person, so some things must be discussed in advance."

"Okay, that's all I have to say. Everyone, decide for yourselves whether to continue to cooperate or explore on your own!"

After saying that, Han Feng waited quietly.

"Puff!" Li Huaizhong took a puff of welding smoke. The smoke floated in front of him, hiding his expression.

Su Nan and Li En were also silent, thinking.

"Time is limited, make a decision as soon as possible. If you want to go it alone, step up now!"

As a soldier, Han Feng was used to doing things in a swift and decisive manner. Seeing that everyone was reluctant to make a decision, he couldn't help but urge them.

"How about this?" Finally, Li Huaizhong, who was the first to propose teaming up and clearing the level together, spoke first. When everyone threw papayas at him, he said quietly:
"Friend Han also said just now that the situation may change from night to the next day."

"Why don't we stick together on the first night, and wait until we have a rough idea of ​​the relationship, and then make plans on the second day based on our individual needs and considerations?"

Hearing this, Su Nan and Ryan's eyes lit up.

Li Yufu glanced at Li Huaizhong, with a hint of sarcasm flashing in his eyes.

Yes, this seemingly cunning and clever old fox actually looked down on him in his heart. He would not accept such a timid and hesitant person!

As for Darry Marshall, he still had his head down, thinking, and seemed to be really considering it seriously.

"Darry Marshall, have you made up your mind?" Li Yufu sent a message to Darry Marshall.

He wanted to test Darry Marshall's decisiveness.

After all, when I start my own business in the future, this person will be my right-hand man.

"I agree with Mr. Li's proposal." Darry Marshall seemed not to have expected Li Yufu to ask him this question. After a moment's pause, he immediately transmitted his answer.

"If Li Huaizhong didn't make any proposal, what would you do?" Li Yufu asked again.

At this moment, Li Yufu's tone changed.

There was already a hint of testing in his expression.

Well, if this happened in the world of cultivating immortals, it would be extremely rare for a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment stage to test a cultivator in the Golden Core stage.

After all, in the world of cultivating immortals, strength is respected.

Of course, it cannot be said that there are no people who "respect the wise first". After all, when Jiajing first entered the Black Wind, he used some of the techniques of ruling his subordinates as an emperor, and was respected and admired by the three Dugu brothers and Liu Quan.

However, in the Ming world, the concept of the superior being first has long been deeply rooted in people's minds. Under the constraints of the Ming Immortal Law, no one thinks that they can do whatever they want just because they are strong.

Most of the time, it makes sense!
Because of preconceived ideas, in Li Yufu's view, Darryl Marshall was just a "new recruit", so naturally he took a superior attitude in his words and his remarks were also testing.

Well, Darry Marshall seemed to be really shocked by him, and subconsciously began to answer questions in a humble tone, just like a student answering questions when being asked by a teacher.

In this regard, Li Yufu said that he benefited a lot!
"I will form a team!" Darry Marshall gave his answer without hesitation.

"Good!" Li Yufu appreciated the answer given without hesitation and based on his own judgment.
