Immortal of Eternal Life and Endless Ages

Chapter 20 Everything is in the hands of man (I failed the test, please read it later)
The next day.

Yuzhu Lake Dojo.

Taoist Shuimu is waiting here specially.

Seeing Fang Sheng appear, he took the initiative to walk over.

"Fang Sheng, the inheritance of skills has been made."

"Inheritance of skills?"

Fang Sheng was startled.

More than a year ago, he had asked Taoist Shuimu to help him keep an eye on the inheritance of immortal cultivation skills...

After that, I was also looking for opportunities.

I didn't hold out much hope, but I didn't expect to get news so soon.

"Correct."

Taoist Shuimu strolled around Yuzhu Lake while talking about recent events.

He would definitely not tell these things to other immortal seedlings.

But Fang Sheng is different from others.

Before, everyone else was secretly thinking about escaping, but the young man in front of him did not waver.

He secretly knew all these situations.

If his spiritual roots weren't so poor, he would be a promising talent.

Shuimu had no idea how many times he had lamented this in his heart.

"This is an opportunity. Xian Miao can also participate. I will write your name on the list later. But whether the family agrees or not is up to fate."

After Taoist Shuimu finished speaking, he quickly turned around and left.

"Leave it to fate?"

Fang Sheng pondered Shuimu's words over and over again and looked at the vast Yuzhu Lake.

The eyes are deep:

"In my opinion, it's a matter of human effort."

……

Starting from this day.

Fang Sheng still accompanies Taoist Dingshi to go fishing every day.

However, the books he brought with him had changed.

In the past, the books he read were all related to the geography of Zihe area.

This is in preparation for leaving the Zheng family.

Learn more about the outside world so that you won’t be blind when the time comes.

Now, Fang Sheng was holding books that introduced various immortal cultivation techniques.

Although he had read these books a long time ago...

But revisiting it now has a different flavor.

period.

Fang Sheng received the message from Taoist Shuimu.

However, Shuimu specifically emphasized his extraordinary understanding.

But the top leaders of the Zheng family still disagreed and eliminated him in the first round.

At the same time, he also learned.

Zhou Yan and Ao Yueru were also included in Shuimu's list.

In the end, only Ao Yueru passed.

The rest of the newly added alchemists all come from the Zheng family or its branches.

"If Ao Yue is chosen, in addition to her high spiritual roots and high taoism, her female identity is also very important. In the future, as long as she marries into the Zheng family, she will be considered a member of the Zheng family..."

"Master Shuimu really did his best."

Fang Sheng was grateful.

Although he usually has a stern face, he actually has a warm heart.

Once upon a time, I also planned to select Ah Cai to come to the Zheng family.

Even if this thing doesn't work out, he should still acknowledge some of the favor.

"From now on, it's all up to me."

"Master Dingshi should have noticed the book I read..."

He took time out to accompany the old man fishing for such a long time.

It's not a wasted effort.

During this period, the two didn't talk much, but they became familiar with each other naturally.

Occasionally call him old man or twice as a joke.

Taoist Dingshi didn't care and just laughed.

this day.

Fang Sheng arrived at the temple early.

He put the book he brought on the table and was about to sit down.

Taoist Dingshi looked at the title of the book and suddenly spoke:
"Mr. Fang, are you from Yue?"

"Correct."

Fang Sheng answered.

After knowing each other for so long, this was the first time that Taoist Dingshi asked about his origins.

"So you have three spiritual roots?"

"indeed."

Fang Sheng was not panicked at all. To be precise, his spiritual roots now already had five strands of Dao rhyme.

But after a cultivator has cultivated magical powers, his body becomes chaotic and the spiritual power of heaven and earth lingers around him.

Except for himself, no one else could measure the spiritual root rhyme. Ding Shi had no idea what Fang Sheng was thinking.

Instead, he sighed:

"Your spiritual roots are so poor that you are just wasting your time in the world of immortal cultivation."

"In my opinion, it's better to go back to the mortal world and enjoy life as soon as possible."

"When you are older, you will never be able to go back."

Taoist Dingshi spoke in a deep tone and turned to look over.

Against the backdrop of gray hair, his dim eyes are filled with the emotion of the years.

Fang Sheng suddenly stopped.

He was very familiar with this kind of gaze.

In the previous life, after I was old and weak.

He often looked at himself in the mirror, and what he saw was a pair of eyes like this...

Fang Sheng's mood suddenly became heavy.

Since his reincarnation, he once again experienced this feeling of powerlessness and despair.

But this time, it wasn't me who felt hopeless.

But the old man in front of him.

Taoist Dingshi saw that he didn't speak for a long time.

He simply looked towards the center of Yuzhu Lake and sighed deeply:
“Cultivating immortals… In the beginning, I was actually just like you, a seedling of immortals from the Kingdom of Yue.”

"When I first arrived at the Immortal Cultivation World, I also thought that I could become an immortal and bless the world forever..."

"But, my spiritual roots are too weak, and I am not cut out for cultivation. After decades of hard work, I can only barely keep myself alive."

"At that time, I looked back and realized that I was alone and had no future."

“I can’t go back to my mortal hometown. I’ve even forgotten the faces of my childhood friends.”

"I can't stay in the world of immortal cultivation. I'm all alone, with great ambitions but little talent. In the end, I can only end up in a lonely grave..."

Taoist Dingshi seemed to want to blurt out decades of regrets in one breath.

Fang Sheng next to him had a look of surprise in his eyes and trembled his lips, as if he wanted to say something.

Finally, he lowered his head again.

"Have you guessed my identity?"

Taoist Dingshi turned his head.

Fang Sheng closed his eyes slightly, his eyes dimmed:
"I once heard the legend of five immortals in one city..."

Yes, this person is the Niu Danzi that Changsheng was thinking about at the beginning!
His real name is Niu Dan.

A few years ago, when I learned the news about Xingyun.

He also asked Zhou Yan and Shui Mu, but he didn't expect that he would live in the Zheng family in his old age.

I'm afraid it's because of Xingyun's relationship.

I actually never recognized this childhood friend from my previous life...

Fang Sheng looked at the Taoist priest Dingshi in front of him.

Or it could be Niu Dan.

I really want to learn from this weathered and aged face.

Recalling the boy who followed Changsheng closely behind him back then...

But how can I remember it?

Haven't seen you for eighty years.

Don't talk about Niu Dan.

He almost forgot what the young man who had just traveled through time in his previous life looked like...

'Even if I see Xingyun again, I probably won't recognize him now.'

Fang Sheng let out a long sigh in his heart.

……

Hearing Fang Sheng expose his identity.

Niu Dan was not surprised either.

"It is indeed as Shuimu said. Although you are young, you have a very high level of understanding."

"…Can you play chess?"

"meeting."

"Then let's play the next one."

The maid next to them brought the chessboard and placed the chess pot in front of the two of them.

Fang Sheng lowered his head and looked at the chess pieces in the jar.

Suddenly I remembered that Niu Dan often played chess with me. Even though he couldn't beat him, he refused to admit defeat.

Instead, he keeps on playing and losing, as stubborn as a calf.

Until it gets dark.

I deliberately let him win a game, and then he would go home...

Think of this.

Fang Sheng took a deep breath and suppressed the memories.

Whatever is done by human beings and the skills of cultivating immortals are not important now.

"Come on, let's play another game of chess."

　Received a notification that I won’t be able to make the test recommendation next week, I can’t catch up enough…

　　Next I still have to read on.

　　Thank you everyone!
