Cultivating Immortality Starts with Rubbing a Computer

Chapter 31 Dusk
"Boring! You only have one will left and yet you're still talking so much nonsense!"

Fang Jun muttered to himself.

He felt the condition of his body and found that he was seriously injured. The flow of magic power in his meridians was not smooth, and he had lost at least 50% of his combat effectiveness.

Think about the increasingly difficult tests.

Fang Jun already knew that with his current strength, it was almost impossible for him to obtain the third spiritual-level technique.

"Forget it, two spiritual-level techniques are already a great opportunity, I should be satisfied."

Thinking of this, Fang Jun accepted the message left by the black-robed shadow.

"The path of sword cultivation is to control form with intention, to penetrate the mysteries through the sublime. Black clouds represent the dark spirits of heaven and earth; when they gather, they bring disaster; when they disperse, they become emptiness. Those who cultivate this tradition must stand before the abyss and watch the gathering and dispersing of the dark mists. Breathing like an owl swooping across the sky, they draw the Nine Netherworld Qi into their Dantian, transforming their sword intent into an inky, cold glow. Their body becomes like ethereal black smoke, their sword like a dark star falling from the earth. Every movement and stillness aligns with the opportune moment of the Netherworld's destruction..."

After a moment, Fang Jun opened his eyes and found a mid-grade spiritual skill called "Black Cloud Sword Canon" in his sea of ​​consciousness.

"The Black Cloud Sword Canon with a mana quality of 3.0 is a mid-grade spiritual grade, 4.0 is a high-grade grade, and 5.0 is the limit." Fang Jun thought to himself, with a slight upward curve at the corner of his mouth.

"In other words, the Red Cloud Sword Intent I've comprehended is now equivalent to the mid-level Spiritual Grade. Not bad. With the information I've gathered about Red Cloud Sword Qi, I might have a chance to glimpse the upper-level Spiritual Grade in the future."

He turned to look at the old man, and the old man who had his eyes closed also opened his eyes and looked at Fang Jun with a calm look.

"It seems you have made a decision." The old man's voice was calm and indifferent.

Fang Jun nodded slightly and said respectfully, "Senior, please grant me the medicine garden token."

The old man said nothing more. He raised his hand and waved it. A stream of light flew out from his sleeve and landed in Fang Jun's hand, turning into an ancient token.

The token was cold to the touch, with intricate patterns engraved on its surface, and a faint spiritual light flowing through it. In the middle was a strange red cloud symbol, and a faint sword intent flowed through it.

The moment Fang Jun grasped the token, his consciousness seemed to be pulled by an invisible force and was instantly drawn into it.

Fang Jun's consciousness emerged from his trance, and the scene before him gradually became clear.

He once again saw the ethereal man on the steps of the Red Cloud Sword Palace, and the young man surrounded by the phantoms of stars.

The two were still immersed in their respective trials, their brows furrowed, and it was obvious that they had not yet completed the deduction of the ordinary-level skills.

"My speed is quite fast."

"It took them both so long to develop a mortal-level technique?"

However, Fang Jun quickly collected his thoughts.

These two monks, who were hailed as geniuses in the outside world, were nothing more than ordinary people in his eyes.

He looked down at the token that appeared in his real hand.

"The magic of the Red Cloud Sword Palace is indeed extraordinary."

Fang Jun did not delay any longer and walked towards the side of the Sword Palace.

The heavy palace gate was engraved with intricate runes, and in the center there was a groove that perfectly matched the shape of the token.

Fang Jun gently embedded the token into it, and immediately, the runes lit up one by one, as if they were injected with life.

"Om-!"

A low humming sound was heard, and the palace gate slowly opened, revealing a deep passage behind it.

Fang Jun took a deep breath and stepped into it. His figure was quickly swallowed by the darkness. After another trance, Fang Jun regained consciousness.

He was in a vast medicinal garden, surrounded by magical herbs and plants, and surrounded by rosy clouds.

The rich aroma of medicine hits you in the face, and every breath makes you feel refreshed, even the magic power in your body is trembling slightly.

On the east side is a piece of crimson soil, on which grows a kind of herb with leaves like dragon scales and stems like fire, emitting a fiery breath.

On the west side is a pool of clear water, with lotus flowers floating on the surface. The lotus petals are like jade, and the lotus hearts are emitting a faint golden light, and there is a faint fairy sound lingering.

On the south side is a towering fruit tree, with branches full of crystal clear fruits, each of which exudes an attractive luster, like shining stars.

On the north side is a dark area, where dusk grass, one of the three foundation-building medicines, grows densely on the ground like weeds.

Although there are many of them, their aura is far inferior to the spiritual medicines in the other three areas. It is obvious at a glance that their ecological status is weeds.

Judging by its smell, the most precious elixir is most likely grown underground.

Fang Jun glanced over the herb garden and sighed inwardly, "As expected of the Red Cloud Sword Palace's herb garden! These top-tier spiritual herbs would cause a bloody storm if released into the outside world. I wonder what level of power the Red Cloud Sword Palace was in its heyday."

Naturally, he didn't dare to ask for these top-level spiritual medicines. He took out the token, and a faint light appeared on the surface of the token.

"I can only choose one...but I've comprehended a spiritual-level technique, so I should be able to choose a better quality than others."

Although there are many varieties of dusk grass, not every one of them is suitable for medicinal use. Only those that have grown to ten years old have sufficient medicinal properties.

When it is first born, it is tall and green, reaching two meters like a reed. As it grows older, it becomes more like withered grass, its leaves gradually turn yellow, and the sense of dusk becomes more and more intense.

Fang Jun walked to a dusk grass about fifty centimeters tall.

This dusk grass is just as its name suggests, with yellow leaves, giving off a faint sense of dusk. When you get close to it, you can feel a sense of desolation as the sunset and the passing of time.

"This dusk grass is about twenty years old." Fang Jun reached out and touched the grass leaves, sensing the token slightly and found that he could choose better quality.

He tried them one by one and finally locked onto a century-old dusk grass.

This dusk grass is smaller than the ordinary dusk grass, only ten centimeters high. The leaves are yellow and withered, and it seems to be completely dead. The meaning of dusk is more intense, and it contains the precipitation of time.

When he got closer, Fang Jun could even feel a strong sense of sadness.

"That's it."

Fang Jun reached out and touched the dusk grass, and the token glowed brightly, enveloping the elixir. The next moment, the dusk grass transformed into a stream of light and sank into the token.

……

Outside the Hongyun Sword Palace, more and more cultivators from the three sects gave up collecting herbs and flew down from the Hongyun Sword Peak.

Lei Pu looked at the side door of the Red Cloud Sword Palace where Fang Jun disappeared and whispered, "Master, judging by Fang Jun's understanding of the Red Cloud Sword Intention, his comprehension should be quite good. He will definitely obtain a higher-level token and be able to obtain better dusk grass."

"The dusk grass embodies the spirit of dusk. I'm afraid it might accidentally destroy the master's Nine Apertures True Spirit Pill. Therefore, the master must enslave it as soon as possible, otherwise something unexpected will happen."

You Zhimeng nodded gently, a cold look flashing in her eyes. "I know. After so much time, the Nine Apertures True Spirit Pill should have completely merged with his spirit. When Fang Jun returns, I will use my secret method to completely control him."

Upon hearing this, Lei Pu said respectfully, "Thank goodness, Master, for your mercy. Otherwise, Fang Jun would still be on the wrong path and would not have such a blessing."
