I am collecting entries in reincarnation

Chapter 885 Qianshan City

After Li Tianyun bid farewell to Sun Sanniang, Situ Zui took up the conversation.

"Nowadays, there are three sects, four mountains and one school in the world of cultivation. The three sects are Danding Sect, Xuanling Sect and Changming Sect. The four mountains are Kunlun Mountain, Wudang Mountain, Longhu Mountain and Taihe Mountain. As for the last sect..."

Li Ming said with a smile: "Of course it is the Shushan Sword Sect, the leader of the righteous path, the best in the world!"

Situ Zui shook his hands repeatedly, but there was a smile on his face.

"These are the most powerful families in the righteous path. However, the most important thing for the orthodox sects is one's family background. If you come to a master with your skills like this, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to learn the true teachings. I, the old Taoist, pity you for the difficulty of practicing, and would like to show you a clear path. Are you willing to listen?"

Li Ming's face straightened when he heard the voice, and he said respectfully, "I am all ears!"

Seeing this, Situ Zui's expression softened a bit and he just shook his head. Shushan has always been very strict in selecting disciples. To reach the threshold of becoming a disciple with skills, one has to be at the level of a guest elder. At the very least, one has to be a Nascent Soul with special skills, otherwise there is no way at all.

As for others whose foundations are impure, even if they cannot achieve enlightenment in this life, it will be impossible for them to come into contact with the true teachings of the sect if they are sent to reincarnation and go through another catastrophe.

Moreover, the destiny of the world is changing and a catastrophe is approaching. As the leader of the righteous sect, the Shushan Sword Sect will naturally bear the brunt of the disaster. How could they possibly allow some inexplicable people to join them?

"Most of the orthodox sects of the Xuan Sect are like this, valuing the foundation. However, some side sects are more open and tolerant. I have a good friend who cultivates in the Luo Zhen Immortal Sect in the East China Sea. The East China Sea is considered a holy place for cultivation, and the Luo Zhen Immortal Sect is also one of the best among the side sects. It wouldn't be a disgrace for you to go there. Of course, the most important thing is that you cultivate the way of Yin and Yang. There is a true teaching in the Luo Zhen Immortal Sect called the Reversed Yin and Yang, the True Illusion Taici Xuanguang, which can continue your path."

Li Ming's eyes rolled. This Luo Zhen Xianmen is really not bad. In fact, Situ Zui's words are quite modest. This Luo Zhen Xianmen is not only one of the best, it is definitely the largest sect among the side sects. There is a real cultivator in the realm of tribulation in the sect, the ancestor Luo Zhen. This person has profound cultivation. He built the Luo Zhen Xianmen with his own efforts, collected all kinds of methods, and established thirty-six true teachings.

With his cultivation level, he is naturally a first-rate immortal in the world, and he has a 70% chance of ascending to heaven. However, he once made a great wish, vowing to pave a way for independent cultivators to ascend to heaven. More than half of the 36 true teachings in his sect were those he had practiced himself, but later when he had no hope of ascending, he opened a new path. After so many years, he really created the Luo Zhen Immortal Sect, which attracted thousands of immortals to come and pay homage!

"Of course I'm willing." Li Ming sighed in his heart.

The Luo Zhen Immortal Sect is not bad, but such a large family and business must have involved a lot of karma. Haven’t you seen that the Jiejiao Sect also had thousands of immortals coming to pay homage to the Lord Tongtian, and the Lord Tongtian, one of the Three Pure Ones of Pangu, was in charge with the Four Swords of Zhuxian, but in the end, they still ended up with a disbanded ending due to the entanglement of cause and effect.

In such a world where cause and effect are intertwined like a web, Li Ming knew without a doubt that there would be countless troubles in the future, but right now was indeed a good opportunity.

Within the Luo Zhen Immortal Sect, there are thirty-six true teachings. Although there is no hope of ascending to heaven, it is definitely enough for me now. Otherwise, it would be extremely difficult for me to deduce the subsequent realms. Could it be that I have to become the second Gu Zhenren?

Rely on yourself to start over again and find a new path through hardships?
That’s something I’ll leave it to myself in my next life. In this life, I’ll absorb the experience and essence of cultivation from my predecessors, allowing myself to stand on the shoulders of giants, and in the next life, I’ll stand on my own shoulders.

"That's great. My good friend is an elder from Luofu Mountain... As long as you say that I recommended you, it won't be a problem for you to become an inner disciple."

Situ Zui stroked his beard and said.

Li Ming was pleased at this. The Luo Zhen Immortal Sect was well-known, but apart from the thirty-six true teachings, the sect was of mixed quality.

His reputation was so great that even Guangwei had heard of it. Of course, in Guangwei's heart, he admired Luo Zhen for opening the door to immortality and teaching everyone. Even he had the opportunity to become Luo Zhen's disciple, but the East China Sea was too far away, and with Guangwei's speed, there was no hope in this lifetime.

But with Situ Zui's status and position, the friends he makes will naturally not be bad. If the elders of Luo Zhenxianmen are willing, maybe they will promise him a true teaching. There is still some hope.

Then Situ Zui took out a jade cup from his arms, which was very small and exquisite. There seemed to be some reminiscence in his eyes, but he just said.

"If you take this cup of mine into Luo Zhen's sect, she will naturally look for you. She also knows what the old Taoist is thinking."

Li Ming could only bow and say, "Thank you for your help, Senior!"

Then he said to Li Tianyun: "Tianyun, seeking immortality and the way is so difficult. The road is long and arduous. I only hope that if you keep searching, the road ahead will be very exciting."

Li Tianyun was overwhelmed with emotions for a moment, and he held Li Ming's hand and spoke with a choked voice.

"Master Wuxin, thank you very much. Will we meet again in the future?"

Without waiting for Li Ming to answer, Situ Zui laughed.

"There is still a bond between you two, and we will meet again in the future. Go and rest."

After saying "go and rest", Situ Zui looked up to the sky and let out a long roar. He turned into a ray of light, wrapped up Li Tianyun and disappeared. The speed of this sword's escape was really admirable.

Li Ming couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, "Senior, do you know that I'm more than ten thousand miles away from the East China Sea? You are so swift with your sword, wouldn't you mind giving me a ride?"

Of course, he only dared to say this after Situ Zui left. How dare he ask this most powerful man in the world to send him off? Promising him a future was already a sign of the old Taoist's love for talent.

But since this is the case, Li Ming has already obtained the opportunity here that he had calculated before. Now that he has completed his reconstruction, his cultivation has greatly improved, he has several magic weapons in his hands, and he has also obtained a magic weapon of Bai Gu Qicai. He has also connected with Li Tianyun. He has already made a lot of money.

Li Ming thought for a moment, then returned to the Taoist temple, took out the Thousand Wishes Eternal Lamp and put it into his Qiankun bag. Then he locked the door of the Taoist temple and left Gantian Town quietly.

Li Ming left Gantian Town and headed east. He changed the Siyin Cart into a Treading Cloud Cart, which was faster than when he came. Li Ming's cultivation was deeper, so he could drive the Treading Cloud Cart for a longer time every day. So the distance he traveled in a day was probably a thousand miles. If it weren't for the time wasted practicing magic and refining equipment, he would have traveled even faster.

In this way, Li Ming practiced while traveling, and in less than half a month he traveled nearly 20,000 miles.

That day, they happened to arrive at a prosperous place. As it was getting dark, Li Ming simply put away his Cloud-Stepping Cart nearby and walked towards the city gate wearing a Taoist robe.

After living in the mountains for so long, I began to miss the hustle and bustle of life. After all, even though Gantian Town was beautiful and charming, it was only a small town without any entertainment venues. It was really a waste of time.

Walking in front of the city gate, Li Ming looked up and saw a plaque hanging on the towering city gate with three words written on it.

"Qianshan City?"

Li Ming said softly, and the guard at the city gate laughed.

"Is this the first time that Taoist Priest has come to Qianshan City?"

Li Ming nodded slightly, returned the greeting, and then said, "This place is flat. It's hard to find a thousand mountains, let alone a hundred or even ten. Why is it called Qianshan City?"

"Master, you may not know that this land originally had more than a thousand mountains. Legend has it that many years ago, an evil dragon became a powerful force and flew out of the sea. It brought torrential rain along its way for three months. The evil dragon was happy, but the human world became a swamp. The entire mountain range was flooded by the rain and turned into a huge lake. I don't know how many people died!"

The guard seemed to be a chatterbox, and what he said was quite vivid. At this moment, the city gate was about to close, and no one else wanted to enter the city, so he was happy to talk to outsiders.

Li Ming was also intrigued, so he asked, "What happened next?"

The guard laughed heartily, pointed his finger at the sky and said, "God has eyes! This evil dragon has done such evil things, even the heavens cannot tolerate him!"

"Did God take it away?" Li Ming asked with a chuckle.

"Of course not. Lord Heaven was enraged and sent out a hundred thousand celestial soldiers to lay a net to capture the evil dragon. But the battle completely changed the topography of this place. They say some kind of meteor turned the lake into a flat land. Later, we built Qianshan City. The Qianshan Mountains are gone, but the story remains."

The guard seemed to have something else to say, but it was time to close the door, and the others around him urged Li Ming to enter the city. Li Ming also handed over a few cents as the entrance fee.

But the guard shouted at the end.

"Master, you've come at the perfect time. Today is the first day of the new year, and there's a lantern festival tonight. Let's go and see the excitement!"

Li Ming nodded when he heard that and walked inside. Not long after he walked, he saw many tourists and lanterns lit up. The whole Qianshan City was illuminated by gorgeous lights.

Not only that, there are also many small vendors setting up stalls on the roadside selling food masks, decorations, bottles and jars and other things.

Li Ming walked among them with great interest, and from time to time he took out money to buy some small things, which made him happy.

But there were stars in the sky and bright lights on the streets. In addition to the vendors, there were also many street performers. These were all people who made pancakes on the ground. They were really skilled. Although Li Ming could see through them at a glance, some of them were too boring and he was not as good as an ordinary person.

Li Ming didn't expect to see anything really bizarre. He just wanted to relax, relieve the fatigue of traveling for many days, and experience the customs and culture of this area.

Because it is far away from the political center, it is inevitable that the government regulations are not so strict, so there is no curfew, and there is even a night market of this scale.

There are many rare people.
When he read this, Li Ming's heart moved, and he suddenly touched the magic weapon in his arms, which Situ Zui called Xuanran Pearl.

More than ten days' effort was not enough for Li Ming to completely refine the treasure, but he did refine two layers of restrictions. Who knew there would be another surprise!
Li Ming is unable to fully realize the mysterious power of the Xuanran Pearl yet, but the hidden information in this magic weapon makes Li Ming very happy.

This Xuanran Pearl was made by the talented Bai Gu scholar, and it actually contains a piece of inheritance information!
No wonder the Moon Worshiper went to such great lengths to collect the relics of the talented Bai Gu scholar. This man is truly a genius!
Li Ming didn't know anything else, but this Xuanran Pearl alone contained a method of sacrificial refining for the art of insect refining.

According to the idea of ​​the talented scholar Bai Gu, the Gu insect is the Gu insect, and the Gu is the true essence of heaven and earth, but it is carried by insects. Why is it insects?

Then the insect must have its own unique features!

So the talented scholar Bai Gu began his own research and finally concluded that Gu is a kind of existence obtained by refining strange insect poisons with magic. The reason why it finally manifests itself in the form of an insect is because the state of the insect is most suitable for carrying the principles of Tao, so it will eventually turn into such a form.

Even within the human body, there are the so-called three corpses: the upper corpse, named Peng Ju, loves treasures; the middle corpse, named Peng Zan, loves the five flavors; and the lower corpse, named Peng Jiao, loves lust. Furthermore, the upper corpse resides in the brain, the middle corpse in the hall, and the lower corpse in the stomach. These three corpses constantly reside within the human body, formed from miscellaneous qi and thoughts. They are formless and intangible, yet they exist.

The insect here is more like a metaphysical concept, but in the end it still takes the form of an insect!
Therefore, Bai Gu Caizi came to a conclusion that if one can master the way of insects, the achievement will not be inferior to that of the way of Gu!
Of course, did he succeed?

Judging from the information Li Ming has obtained so far, he may have given up halfway, otherwise he would not have become famous for his witchcraft and been subdued by the South China Sea Immortal.

But even so, with his talent, he really researched a lot of things. In the inheritance he left behind, he created a technique of raising insects, which were insects inside the human body. These insects included but were not limited to the three corpse insects, as well as some sleepy insects, greedy insects and the like.

The insects raised in this insect-raising technique are nourished in one's body and released to hurt people when necessary. They are like magic weapons. Compared with poisonous insects, they are even more deeply connected to the body, but they are also more dangerous.

If the possibility of backlash from the art of refining poison is one in ten or two, then the possibility of backlash from the art of raising insects is eight in ten. The insects in these people's bodies are always trying to rebel and want to influence the host in turn. This is their own instinct, but the person who practices it must be vigilant at all times, seize the power within, and make these insects more powerful.

This is obviously a reference to the practice of magic, where insects are regarded as demons from outer space, and the magic is used to sharpen the Tao day by day. If the demon is one foot high, the Tao is ten feet high; if the Tao is one foot high, the demon is ten feet high!
After Li Ming received this inheritance, he couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of his heart: There are so many heroes in the world, just like the fish in the river!

A talented scholar who was lost in the long river of history has such ingenuity, not to mention those senior masters who can survive to the end and even ascend to become immortals, how talented they must be!
This made Li Ming more alert to the world. He knew one thing very well: corrupt officials are cunning, but honest officials are even more cunning than corrupt officials.

These old demons cannot even ascend to heaven, so what kind of characters must those immortals who can stand out from the immortal world be!
Compared with them, even though he has experience from many lifetimes, he does not have such a big advantage. After all, in this world, there are quite a few cultivators who reincarnate and cultivate again. Even most of those with profound cultivation have reincarnated for many lifetimes. Even if it is only in one world, it dilutes Li Ming's advantage of reincarnation.
