From a martial arts disciple to a god through countless trials and tribulations

Chapter 50 Ways of Survival
"I had many friends, but unfortunately they are all dead."

Liu Jiao's expression was calm, no trace of sadness on his face. He smiled at Chen Xuan and the others and said, "Now, you will also become my friends. I hope you can live longer and be able to repay my help in the future."

It was a slightly humorous tone, but no one found it humorous.

Afterwards, Liu Jiao took the book handed over by the ancient scholar, pointed at some of the names, and asked a group of Qi practitioners about their recent situation.

Chen Xuan came from a humble background and had no right to know these names. He had never even heard of most of them.

Occasionally someone answered Liu Jiao's questions, but most of the time, there was silence.

Liu Jiao sometimes sighed, "This person and I got along quite well back then. He should have become a Taoist monk, but he died in a duel long ago."

Sometimes he laughed heartily and said, "I guessed that once Qingyazi achieved the pinnacle of Dinglu Realm, his future would be hopeless and he would resort to crooked ways... Lu Zhuan, who is this person? Why didn't he come to see me when he was young? Could it be that he became a Daozang within twenty years and missed the opportunity?"

Sometimes he was silent and said, "In the past two or three hundred years, has this peerless genius succeeded in returning to the mortal world? Is he dead or alive? Where is he now? There is no news at all."

Sometimes he sneered, "I've lost so much money. I've invested a hundred times, but not a single one has become a success. What use are you, the people of the future?"

Among many other things, Liu Jiao mostly asked about the current situation of influential figures in the past few hundred years.

He didn't ask anything about things that happened in the distant past.

Chen Xuan listened with great interest, feeling that his knowledge and experience had broadened again and he had gained a lot of insights. He always liked to listen to these strange stories.

About half an hour later, Liu Jiao finished questioning.

"You guys who have emerged in the past twenty years are the worst quality I've ever seen."

Liu Jiao stood up, like a disciple admonishing his students, and continued, "But there are some things that old friends used that I don't need. I can't let their treasures gather dust, so I'm giving them to you today."

"I can't give things away for free. If someone wants to take down my secluded paradise in the future, you have to help."

Every person with destiny has his own way of survival.

This is the way of survival for the immortal species... Unable to practice cultivation, they can only rely on the strong.

The place suddenly became lively, with everyone shouting, "Of course it's so!" "Of course I'm grateful!"

Disciples from aristocratic families like Wang Linger and Xie Cheng, who had benefited from it for generations, were even more excited and said, "As long as our family exists, there will be peace in Peach Blossom Spring!"

I'm coming.

The immortal seed is about to give something!
Most of the people present were not ungrateful. After all, Liu Jiao had no control over them. If there were any problems in Peach Blossom Spring in the future, they would naturally help if they could, and if they couldn't, they would just stand by and watch...

Soon, the ancient scholar led a group of tribesmen to move out a large box filled with various old items.

"Don't worry, everyone has a share."

Among the forty or fifty Qi practitioners present, Chen Xuan was the most talented one, so he quickly got the old items.

This is a jade bracelet, crystal clear, and at first glance... it looks ordinary.

"You have a hint of the ancient appearance and a great future. Elder Liu Jiao said that you have the potential to reach the Dinglu realm, but [Tao Hongchen] has little hope, so it's best not to force it."

The ancient scholar pointed at the jade bracelet and continued, "In ancient times, there was a fairy from another realm who entered the Peach Blossom Spring as a child and touched this object... Before she disappeared into the world of Taoism, she had already established a sect and was proclaimed the founder, almost achieving immortality. Today, I give this object to you. Ancestor Liu Jiao hopes that you will work tirelessly and have a bright future."

"Thank you for your words."

Chen Xuan thanked him and touched the smooth jade bracelet with his fingers, thinking: "This thing looks ordinary, but it has such a great origin. It must be something that a near-immortal has touched."

The saying that if one person attains the Tao, everyone around them will ascend to heaven is no mere rhetoric. You must know that the ancient Qi practitioners possessed divine might that soared to the heavens. Anything connected to them was no longer ordinary. Even the path they traversed was elevated to the level of a path to immortality. Any remaining traces of the Great Dao would take a long time to subside.

At the same time, Chen Xuan wondered whether the items in the house where he lived last night had been sealed?

If I am lucky enough to become an immortal in the future, will these things I have touched be sent away by Liu Jiao to the right people in the future thousands of years later?

"This is a near-immortal object!"

Some Qi practitioners stared at the jade bracelet in Chen Xuan's hand with fiery eyes.

The jade bracelet had been touched by an ancient near-immortal. Once it was taken out, the passage of tens of millions of years would wash away the bracelet. Adding to this the resonance of the great Dao left in the world by the near-immortal, it is hard to imagine what kind of treasure it would become!
“Although it’s not a true relic of an ancient immortal saint, it’s still terrifying enough to be considered a gift of the highest rank.”

A Qi practitioner said enviously, because his talent was limited, what Liu Jiao gave him was just an old object that had been touched by an ordinary high-level Qi practitioner.

No one would dream that Liu Jiao would give away real relics of ancient immortal sages. If one such thing was given away, there would be one less.

"It is said that all the relics of the ancient sages in Liu Jiao's hands have long been given away. Now the most precious things in his hands are these near-immortal objects. However, with the passage of time, the great objects that can reach the heavens are no longer visible to the world, and now these things are very rare."

Some people murmured to themselves, thinking that Chen Xuan was extremely lucky to have obtained such a treasure.

Liu Jiao is just an immortal who cannot practice cultivation. Even if there is a Peach Blossom Spring to attract young geniuses, how many of these geniuses can successfully embark on the path to immortality over tens of millions of years?
Indeed, Liu Jiao knew some ancient Qi practitioners in ancient times.

But those ancient Qi practitioners have long since disappeared.

Legend has it that this Peach Blossom Spring was the last ancient Qi practitioner he knew. Mindful of their childhood connection, he cut off a fragment of ancient mountains and seas before his own annihilation.

Therefore, Liu Jiao can survive safely in the world and will not be captured by people with ulterior motives to study alchemy.

From then on, Liu Jiao immediately compromised and gave away all the relics of the ancient sages, making many good friends. However, some people speculated that he secretly kept one or two items in his hands.

"Ah, another woman's thing."

Chen Xuan felt somewhat helpless. Although this item was good, it seemed inappropriate for him to use it. As a warrior, how could he look so awkward wearing a jade bracelet on his wrist if others saw it?

I had already felt a faint sense of shame from fighting with the jade hairpin, and now I got something like this...

Some people looked at Chen Xuan secretly with unfriendly eyes, because among the old items that Liu Jiao gave away, the ones that were close to immortality could be counted on one hand.

Naturally, no one dared to have any disobedience towards powerful people like Yan Yushu and the tiger demon, but someone like Chen Xuan, who was alone, was obviously much easier to deal with.

But most Qi practitioners were satisfied and cautious. For example, Wang Linger, who had received stern warnings from her elders, left as quickly as possible.

She didn't even wait for some familiar people in Chiya City, and immediately left the village and went down the mountain, just wanting to take the relics of the high-level monks and quickly return to her family power.

Soon, the ancient scholar distributed the old items, and some of the Qi practitioners left one after another... The secret realm of Peach Blossom Spring can only last for a few days. It is better to leave early than late. If you accidentally stay here, you will have to wait for twenty years.

Chen Xuan didn't leave. He was waiting, waiting for all the irrelevant people to leave. He still had a very dangerous thing to do.

But the next moment, someone got there first.

A young man in a black robe walked out. He had a handsome face, eyes like phoenixes, and a slightly gloomy temperament. He smiled, took out a letter from his sleeve, and walked towards the Longevity Willow Dragon.

"Senior Liu, I am the elder of my family. I have one more thing to ask of you."

"..."

Chen Xuan retracted his legs as he was about to take a step forward.
