I use my supernatural powers to prove my immortality

Chapter 43: Encounter in the Deep Mountains [Seeking Follow-up Reading]

This is a very desolate mountain, with many green pines and white mist on the mountain, which looks quite like a fairyland.

But in fact, this mountain seems very desolate to Zhong Lixiao. The reason is naturally that the spiritual energy of this mountain is still too thin and is not suitable for cultivation.

Zhong Lixiao was not surprised by this.

In this day and age, any mountain or river with abundant spiritual energy basically has an owner.

Take Daliangshan for example. Generally speaking, it is not suitable for cultivating immortals, but the Feng Shui environment near Yuliangzhuang is good and the local spiritual energy is relatively abundant.

Soon, it was developed into a farm by the Zhong family of Taoyuan.

The situation in other regions is similar.

Immortal cultivators are hardworking, frugal and environmentally friendly, and cannot bear to see any mountains and rivers full of spiritual energy go to waste.

He is keen on turning forests into fertile fields, elixirs into pills, ancient trees into spiritual materials, and he has arranged every part of the monster's body clearly.

He just didn't know which area this was. If he could find a family, he could ask around and then determine the location and boundaries.

Zhong Lixiao controlled the paper crane, flew slowly in the sky, and looked around.

After a moment, what made his eyes light up was that he actually saw curling smoke from cooking fires in the mountains.

Zhong Lixiao immediately moved the paper crane over and looked down from above, only then did he discover that there was actually a very sloppily built thatched hut here.

Outside the house there is a vegetable patch of about one mu in area, and not far from the patch there is a stream.

Behind the house, there was an old man with white hair and beard, meditating and practicing Qigong.

Is this old man a cultivator?
Zhong Lixiao was stunned for a moment, and habitually used the "Heavenly Eye Technique" to take a look.

Then, he saw a very faint spiritual light on the old man.

He seems to be a cultivator, but in fact he has not even started.

This?
Zhong Lixiao felt a little confused for a moment.

There is a halo around him, which means he is qualified. Besides, he is so old now, he should have achieved something long ago.

Zhong Lixiao pondered for a while and felt something was wrong.

Thinking of the accumulation of "good fortune" he had felt not long ago, he immediately activated his magical power "Bo Le's Eyes" to take a look.

This was a remarkable sight. He immediately saw a very dazzling light of magical power from this old man.

Moreover, the amount of filthy dust covering him is very small. So far, apart from the pervert Jianyun, he is the one most likely to awaken his supernatural powers.

Zhong Lixiao's eyes lit up.

At this moment, the old man who was meditating in submission also vaguely sensed that someone was watching him, and immediately opened his eyes.

In just a moment, Zhong Lixiao saw two rays of light in the old man's eyes.

It was so majestic, as if two cold rays of light were piercing his heart.

Zhong Lixiao was stunned and felt a little unbelievable.

This is a sign of extremely concentrated will!

Extremely condensed will can even be attached to weapons to kill demons.

It is extremely rare for a will to reach this level, even for a true monk.

Whether it is concentration, meditation, or keeping one's mind focused, you can do it very well.

This old man is really not an ordinary person!
At this moment, the old man's eyes lit up when he saw Zhong Lixiao. He stood up, clasped his fists, bowed and said, "Country bumpkin Xue Jingliang greets you, Taoist friend."

Xue Jingliang?
The God of War of Western Palace?

Zhong Lixiao didn't expect that he had heard his name in Fengxi Market not long ago, and in the blink of an eye he met him here.

No wonder!
Zhong Lixiao suddenly realized why this old man, with such a strong will and spiritual roots, still had not yet fully entered the door at this age.

Zhong Lixiao landed on a crane and put away the paper crane. He then asked curiously, "I never thought that it was the Western Palace Military God who came to see me. I am honored to be here."

Xue Jingliang was startled, his cloudy eyes brightened up a bit, and he said, "I never thought that the Immortal Master would know my humble reputation among the mortals. I am truly lucky."

Zhong Lixiao looked at Xue Jingliang carefully and found that he was really old, with cloudy eyes and wrinkles all over his face and hands.

He didn't know if it was because his power had been dissipated, but the Western Palace Military God was not as powerful as he had imagined. Instead, he looked like a frail old man.

Most importantly, Zhong Lixiao also smelled a strong "old man smell" from him.

These are the five signs of decline of celestial beings!
If nothing unexpected happens, this old man's life span will not exceed five or six years at most.

Zhong Lixiao smiled and said, "The reputation of the God of War of the Western Palace is not small. Even in the secular world, people can still hear about your great achievements. Where I live, some people even adapted your story into an opera. The story of the tyrant emperor and his treacherous ministers issuing eleven golden medals to force you to return to the capital is even more popular."

Xue Jingliang couldn't help but sigh when he heard this.

This story seems to be quite old for him, at least thirty years ago!
However, although Xue Jingliang was old, he was not senile after all. He immediately extracted the most important information from Zhong Lixiao's words.

Xue Jingliang hurriedly bowed and said, "My Immortal, there are still mortals where you live, so I'm sure you won't despise me. Please give me a chance and accept me as your disciple. I will serve you wholeheartedly." Zhong Lixiao suddenly couldn't hold it anymore.

Are you serious, sir?

The five signs of decay of celestial beings have already come, their Qi and blood are declining, and their bodies are like a furnace with leaks everywhere. Even if they manage to gather some vital energy, they probably won't be able to keep it.

If it were an ordinary person, Zhong Lixiao would definitely not accept him as his disciple, and would not even think about it.

Heaven, Earth, Emperor, Parents and Teachers, the relationship between master and student in this era is still quite pure and strict.

Once he accepts a disciple, he will be responsible for imparting knowledge and answering questions, and he must also provide the disciple with various resources. He himself doesn't even have enough resources, so why would he accept a disciple?
but.

Xue Jingliang is different after all, and his magical seed is exactly what he needs.

In addition, Xue Jingliang's life was too legendary, so it was inevitable that his fate was extremely noble, and the seeds of supernatural powers he nurtured were also destined to be extraordinary.

Once you can completely cleanse the filth, maybe you can actually create a miracle!
But this situation is ultimately too slim, just like buying a lottery ticket.

Zhong Lixiao said bluntly, "You are too old. Why don't you enjoy the blessings of your children and grandchildren?"

Xue Jingliang's eyes were dim, and his heart inevitably sank to the bottom.

In fact, before he retired here, he had already used all his connections to find the immortal master who had repeatedly persuaded him to practice cultivation.

As enthusiastic as the immortals were back then, they are as cold now.

The reason is simply that he is too old!
Even if he succeeds in practicing Qi and his life span is slightly increased, as long as he has not established a foundation and his life level has not been transformed, his life span will not be greatly increased and he can be expected to pass away at any time.

What's even more tragic is that he once took elixirs that could prolong his life, but ordinary longevity elixirs have lost their effectiveness.

He really doesn't have much time left!
Xue Jingliang felt bitter in his heart, but he was still full of fighting spirit and said, "I know what the Immortal said. But ambition is not limited by age. I have been going against the tide in difficult situations all my life. I never gave up before, and I still won't give up now!"

"If you are willing to give me a chance, I will give you a miracle!"

Speaking of this, Xue Jingliang exuded unprecedented confidence.

From the past to now, he has failed countless times and encountered countless setbacks, but in the end he faced the challenges head-on and eventually overcame all the difficulties one by one.

Zhong Lixiao looked surprised.

Is this the Military God of Xifu?
He was obviously just an old man who seemed like he would be put to death at any moment, but at this moment he exuded such amazing self-confidence.

What a real genius!

Zhong Lixiao pondered and said, "Do you know your spiritual root qualifications?"

Xue Jingliang was overjoyed, his tone became faster, and he said proudly, "Dual spiritual roots of fire and earth."

clam?
Zhong Lixiao was shocked. Such an amazing spiritual root aptitude?

Spiritual roots like these would be considered treasures in the world of immortal cultivation, and Baiyun Temple would even make an exception and recruit them.

If he had such spiritual talent, he would probably wake up laughing in his dreams.

Zhong Lixiao sighed, "What a shame, what a shame, you started practicing too late. Many Taoist friends tried to save you before, but you missed them all!"

Xue Jingliang also felt somewhat regretful, but his eyes were still calm, and he said, "At that time, it was not the time for me to leave. Da Chu still needed me. And I also knew that many immortals who saved me only wanted to take me away from Da Chu. The struggle of the mortal world is ultimately just a continuation of the struggle in the immortal world. I did it in the opposite direction!"

Zhong Lixiao was shocked.

He is worthy of being known as the "Military God of Western Palace". He has forced the immortal cultivators to take him away so that they can have the confidence to win the battle in the mortal world.

Great!

Zhong Lixiao was puzzled and said, "Even if the immortal cultivation forces supporting Da Chu are relatively weak, since they can help you withstand the pressure from the immortal cultivation world, they should not be short of methods. Why don't you practice while presiding over major events in the world?"

Xue Jingliang proudly said, "I vowed not to practice as long as I was in the army, in exchange for the monks not interfering too heavily, and the scope of the war has always been limited to the mundane world."

Zhong Lixiao was impressed.

Compared with the carefree and long life brought by cultivating immortals, what are worldly power, glory and wealth?
For the sake of his career and ideals, Xue Jingliang overcame his desire for a carefree and eternal life.

Ruthless!
Be ruthless to your enemies, and even ruthless to yourself!

Zhong Lixiao: "I can accept you as my disciple, but if you want me to be my disciple, I need to have a comprehensive understanding of you, and I also need to take a drop of your blood. Do you dare?"

Xue Jingliang laughed loudly, and the whole person seemed to be completely reborn, and even his voice became several times louder.

"How dare you not?"

"Master, take whatever you want of the blood. As for my story, I can tell it to you anytime. It would be even better if there is a bottle of wine!"

Zhong Lixiao stretched out his hand and a pot of wine appeared in his hand.

He bought it at Fengxi Market not long ago. It's not the best wine, but it's good for a drink.

Afterwards, Zhong Lixiao took out a few fried "pre-prepared dishes" and added some spiritual rice. After heating them up, he ate while listening to the stories told by Xue Jingliang, the military god of Xifu.

Gradually, the outline of a powerful "Western Military God" emerged in his mind.
