Cultivating Immortality Begins with Rejuvenation.

Chapter 62 Life and death
The anecdotes column at the bottom of the official newspaper.

"In the ordinary gathering area of the Biyun Sect, a female cultivator at the third level of Qi training gave birth to a child at the hour of Mao. The child was born with innate knowledge and grew rapidly, reaching seven feet in half an hour. His spiritual roots were fully formed. The moment the spiritual roots took shape, they caused disturbances in the surrounding spiritual energy. A Jindan True Person of the Biyun Sect went to investigate and suspected that the child was a natural spiritual root, so he brought the child back to the sect.

It was said that before he was taught the Qigong method, he suddenly had an inspiration and started practicing on the spot, making rapid progress. It took him half an hour to practice Qigong, another hour to build his foundation, and another two hours to form his elixir...

However, after the afternoon, the vitality declines rapidly and the body ages.

At the You hour, the whole body becomes shriveled, like a baby.

Then he completely lost his life and died!
Some people suspected that this was a farce directed and performed by the Biyun Sect, but the Biyun Sect firmly denied it.

Claiming to have encountered a person favored by God..."

After watching the whole incident, Li Ji'an had a strange expression on his face.

"Born and dying in the morning... utter splendor... fleeting beauty..."

Isn't this a curse? How can it be considered "divine favor"?
Who would expect to be blessed by God in this way?

"Are you surprised by the one favored by God?" Yan Qingwan asked with a smile after noticing Li Ji'an's expression.

Li Ji'an came back to his senses: "Is this... true?"

Yan Qingwan shook her head, then nodded again: "This may not be true, but... the gods do exist, and they often behave in incredible ways."

"How incredible is it?"

"My great-grandfather once saw a person favored by God with his own eyes." Yan Qingwan said affirmatively.

"What kind of God-favored one is this?"

"As long as he gets close to something that contains the spiritual power of heaven and earth, or something that is in line with the great Dao, he will be able to sense it. This ability can also grow, and the range of his sensing will become larger and larger."

Li Ji'an's eyelids suddenly lifted.

"Treasure-hunting spirit..."

This is very similar to Ning Sujin's approach of seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune.

"The results of it?"

"As a result... aren't you curious about what he can do with this ability?" Yan Qingwan was quite surprised. When ordinary people heard such incredible things, in addition to questioning, they were more curious about this ability. However, Li Ji'an only asked about the result.

"I've heard Brother Chen talk about the ability of a certain person favored by God before. It is said that he can foresee a certain scene in the future, so I'm not too surprised." Li Ji'an explained.

Yan Qingwan nodded. "I see. As a result, he was accepted into the sect. It is said that since then, the sect has been blessed with good fortune and all the disciples have treasures!"

"Will all those favored by God be treated like this?" Li Ji'an asked subconsciously.

Yan Qingwan shook her head: "Of course not, some people favored by the gods must be killed by everyone!"

"Ok?"

"It is said that a thousand years ago, there was a person favored by the gods, born with a myriad of poisons. If he came, the city would be destroyed and the whole world would punish him!"

Li Ji'an nodded, and had a clearer understanding of the so-called "God-favored Ones" in his mind.

It is also basically certain that Ning Sujin is a person favored by God.

The reason why he was suddenly taken away by the "immortal master" that year has also been basically confirmed.

Sixty-three years have passed...

Li Ji'an glanced towards the northwest, shook his head and didn't think any further.

After bidding farewell to Yan Qingwan, Li Ji'an returned to the courtyard and tried the "Nine Yang Secret" as usual.

"Still the same... I wonder how long it will take to transform?"

Over the past three years, he has continued to practice.

He thought that after arriving at the Yan family and being close to the core spiritual vein area, with the nourishment of the high-level first-level spiritual vein concentration, his magic power would be able to improve much faster.

As a result, the Dantian needed to be filled at the third level of Qi training expands by one circle, and the magic power required is twice that of the second level of Qi training.

The most frustrating thing was that two years ago, when he was close to perfection in the third level of Qi training, he realized that there was a hurdle from the early stage to the middle stage of Qi training. In addition to the amount of mana, the Dantian also needed to be transformed, which required mana supply.

With his two spiritual roots that were sensitive to spiritual energy, the refining efficiency was very low. He could have relied on the time scroll to increase the total amount of mana refined daily to be equivalent to that of an ordinary low-grade spiritual root.

But now the magic power to nourish the Dantian is based on each big cycle, rather than the total amount of one day.

This made his scroll meaningless, and two hours of practice a day was the limit.

This truly widened the gap between him and other spiritual roots with high spiritual sensitivity. For example, Chen Qingling, with nine fire spiritual roots, could nourish his dantian for two hours daily, while he could only nourish his dantian for one thousand five hundred. "It doesn't matter. My spiritual roots are inferior in this world. I have to accept it!" He didn't show much emotion about this, recognizing that he was a solid foundation.

He did not relax at all. After spending two hours every day refining his magic power to nourish his dantian, he spent the rest of the time on body training.

The reason why physical cultivation is not so popular in this world is that, apart from the fact that physical cultivation can only delay the degradation of qi and blood, and the lifespan is at most a hundred years, as Chen Zhaohu said, the resources required by a first-stage mid-stage physical cultivation are more than those of a magic cultivation, and are even more rare.

If Chen Zhaohu hadn't had that opportunity, he would have only been able to reach the middle stage of the first level in his life.

As for Li Ji'an, he was at the peak of the Great Master of Qi and Blood of the Immortal Dynasty, but it was equivalent to the first-level primary perfect physical cultivation in this world. Later, he was taught the "Hundred Tempering Golden Body Art" by Chen Zhaohu.

On the basis of his own strengths, he also had the bones of a dragon and a tiger. In that year, he successfully took another step forward and entered the first stage of mid-stage physical cultivation.

Later, due to several years of practicing magic power, the magic power nourished his body, allowing his qi and blood to reach the peak of the first-stage mid-stage physical cultivation.

However, that is the peak that can be achieved without relying on spiritual objects for body refining. Without spiritual objects for body refining, there will be no further progress.

It was not until two years ago that he met Yan Hongsheng. He was born with poor physique and had difficulty in body refining. In order to get started, he began to use body refining spiritual objects. Over time, Li Ji'an also received many gifts from him.

After confirming that his Dantian still had not transformed, Li Ji'an entered the house, took out the Thunder Flame Crystals that he had accumulated bit by bit over the past two years from his storage bag, and continued to refine his body.

A month ago, he had successfully advanced to the first-stage late physical cultivation stage, and had been consolidating his efforts recently.

After advancing to the later stage of body refining, the original Qi and blood began to undergo qualitative changes, and tended to condense from the original misty gas state to liquid state.

Moreover, the energy it contains is more than twice as concentrated as that in gaseous form.

At that time, he compared it to the magic shield of Yan Hongsheng at the peak of Qi training. When he attacked with all his strength at the early stage of physical training, it was difficult to shake it at all.

However, based on the feedback from multiple attempts, he made a judgment.

If you use all your strength in the middle stage of physical training, it is already possible.

Once he advances to the late stage of body refining, even if it is just the beginning of the late stage, he is confident that he can break the protective magic shield with three punches!

In addition, his spiritual awareness is comparable to that of a peak Qi training cultivator, and his Qi and blood stimulate his body movements at a speed comparable to teleportation. In the entire Yan family, he is not afraid of anyone except the ancestor in the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Of course, sieges don't count.

Unfortunately, Yan Hongsheng has now completely recognized his own innate talent and has given up on the path of physical cultivation, so the Lei Yanjing will have no place to go in the future.

In the following days, during the truce between the two tribes, Zhang Tiezhu came to see Li Ji'an every day, and his attitude almost returned to what it was when he was in the Xianci Dynasty.

"Brother Li, it will be ten years in two years. I wonder how Zhu Linxian and Dong Jiangling are doing. Will they have a great opportunity and prosper in the immortal path from now on? They won't come back after the ten-year appointment. There has been no news for so many years."

Li Ji'an had no hope for this. After all, the five of them were born in a land abandoned by heaven. In addition to their exceptional physique and talent, their spiritual roots were also very poor.

If the four of them don't have an afterlife, there is almost no hope for them in this life.

There are many things that cannot be accomplished with just determination.

However, he didn't dare to be absolutely certain. Who could guarantee that others wouldn't encounter some incredible opportunities?

There are many such things in the cultivation world. At least he has seen several cases in the official newspapers in the past six months.

Relatively speaking, Zhu Linxian is most likely the one who has gone the farthest among the four.

Another half month passed like this.

That day, Zhang Tiezhu came to Li Ji'an as usual to discuss spiritual practice, and then they chatted about their future plans.

A shocking news was passed back to the clan.

"The ancestors of the Wei and Yan families fought fiercely, and both were injured!"

The two people were just discussing their future plans. Zhang Tiezhu's first reaction was excitement. Heroes emerge in troubled times. He can only be reused and have opportunities when there is chaos in the clan.

Li Ji'an frowned: Danger!
The original purpose of entering the Yan family's land was just for the spiritual vein temple here, as well as the deterrence and protection of the Yan family's ancestor in the foundation-building stage.

But now, the ancestor is injured, and the safety factor of this place has dropped greatly.

This result was indeed somewhat beyond his expectations. The reason why he entered the Yan family when the two families were in conflict was not because of lack of consideration, but because he had learned about the situation of the eight major families in the market in advance.

The eight great families in this wasteland have already signed a contract. No matter what kind of conflict there is, those in the Foundation Establishment Stage are not allowed to intervene and must try to resolve it through negotiation.

"How could this happen?"

"Wait a little longer. If the Yan family's foundation-building ancestor really can't hold on any longer, we'll have to leave."
