Eating bizarre things in public upgrades my status; the Special Affairs Bureau wants me to join them

Xu Fu may not have died.

According to He Li, thousands of years ago, Xu Fu accidentally discovered the inner sect area of ​​the Lie Ri Sect on the sea surface, mistook it for a "fairy mountain", and made up his mind to land on the fairy mountain.

And he actually succeeded.

This whole thing is utterly absurd.

Based on known clues, it appears that the time of Xu Fu was a time when the connection between heaven and earth had been severed, making normal cultivation impossible.

So at that time he was an ordinary person.

Moreover, conditions in ancient times were not as good as in modern times. Even if he knew some martial arts, he was not as good as a modern martial artist. What made him special was that he was a Taoist priest and may have heard of the practice of refining qi.

But at that time there was no spiritual energy, so he could not cultivate and could only try to figure it out on his own in vain.

Many things about the Qi Refining Era...

It would be equally inconvenient for him to investigate.

However, even under these conditions, Xu Fu managed to find the "immortal mountain" at sea and even somehow escaped to the Middle Realm.

Isn't this outrageous enough?

It should be noted that since the appearance of the overseas immortal mountain half a year ago, many forces in Shanghai have wanted to land on the "immortal mountain".

But they simply couldn't do it.

Even with the support of foreign forces.

This comparison is enough to show that Xu Fu was definitely a talented person. Such a person went to the Middle Realm and made a name for himself by using his alchemy skills.

Most importantly, according to the spirit of Qingyang Mountain, he will also refine pills to forcibly prolong his life.

Such an outrageous existence...

You said he died out there and became just another face in the crowd?

He Li didn't believe it. At least until he saw the body with his own eyes or had something to confirm the news of his death, He Li preferred to believe that the old guy who had lived for thousands of years was not dead.

Thinking about all this, He Li looked up and said, "It's understandable that you don't know more about Xu Fu's affairs."

"What about the island in the sea belonging to the Blazing Sun Sect?"

"Before the abnormal reactions appear in the lower and middle realms..."

"Is that island still connected to the lower realm?"

He stared at the spirit of Qingyang Mountain.

"Yes!" The latter nodded: "It is possible. It is said that the island was originally made by a powerful being in imitation of a real immortal mountain. There may indeed be a special passage on it that connects to the lower realm."

"Unfortunately... even the Blazing Sun Sect's own people couldn't find any, let alone use them."

"If only the Blazing Sun Sect could use it sooner..."

"Then you should go down to the mortal realm..."

The spirit of Qingyang Mountain suddenly stopped speaking here.

He didn't continue, but He Li knew that if the Blazing Sun Sect controlled this passage, according to the spirit of Qingyang Mountain, they would definitely send powerful experts to the lower realm to cause a lot of trouble.

From this perspective, it's actually a good thing that the Qi cultivators of the Blazing Sun Sect didn't find the passage.

But this also further demonstrates Xu Fu's capabilities.

"Hmph, how interesting. Even you Qi Refiners of the Middle Realm can't find or use this passage..."

"But Xu Fu found him and even made use of him."

"It seems that even those who cultivate Qi in the Middle Realm are quite useless."

A hint of mockery played on his face.

Qingyang Mountain Spirit remained silent.

He Li then changed the subject: "Tell me, what exactly is going on with the calamity in your Middle Realm?"

"Also... I met Yin Yunzi before and learned that your Middle Realm has some kind of True Lord of the Sun and Moon Myriad Laws? Tell me, what's the deal with this True Lord of the Sun and Moon Myriad Laws?"

"This..." Qingyang Mountain Spirit paused.

He seemed to ponder it for a while.

He then said, "The calamity is very strange. I can't explain it, but I know that the higher one's cultivation level... no, I should say, the more talented a Qi cultivator is, the more likely they are to encounter a calamity."

"Those people are also more prone to going crazy."

"I am not a Qi cultivator."

Therefore, I cannot understand.

"Other Qi cultivators can't explain it either. In short... calamity is an indescribable, terrifying thing that makes people lose their minds without them even realizing it."

Oh? That's really bad.

According to Qingyang Mountain Spirit's explanation, He Li felt that the Calamity was somewhat like Cthulhu.

An indescribable fear and madness!

"And what about the True Lord of Ten Thousand Laws?"

He shook his head, not bothering to ask further.

The spirit of Qingyang Mountain responded: "The True Lord of the Sun and Moon's Myriad Laws is a legendary being who wanders in reverse in the long river of time; seven or eight tenths of the magic in the Middle Realm originates from the True Lord of the Myriad Laws."

"There are rumors that the True Lord of Ten Thousand Laws has a reincarnated body, I think... it's called something like Ku Rongzi."

"However, not many people believe it."

"Because as far as I know, Kurongzi is just a Qi cultivator with some talent. Let alone top geniuses, he is even somewhat inferior to those super-first-class geniuses."

"How could he possibly be the reincarnation of the True Lord of Ten Thousand Laws?"

The spirit of Qingyang Mountain spoke with utter contempt.

Finally, he added, "Although the Myriad Laws True Monarch is an undisputed Dao Ancestor-level existence in the Middle Realm..."

"But his reputation in the Middle Realm..."

"I'd say it's a mixed bag!"

"Oh? What do you mean?"

He was curious.

The spirit of Qingyang Mountain shook his head: "Because, according to legend, he was unwilling to face all living beings when he was sitting backwards in the River of Time; it is said that he had long foreseen the strange calamity that has appeared now."

"But he was unwilling to lend a helping hand, or even to remind people to prepare for the situation."

"Therefore, many people scorn him."

"Moreover, in the current Middle Realm, many people prefer to borrow magic rather than rely on their own power to cast spells, so people take his contribution to creating all magic less seriously."

"Naturally... there were even more people shouting insults."

"Borrowing the law?" He Li squinted.

The spirit of Qingyang Mountain nodded: "Those beings in the upper realm who have become immortals or gods all possess unique powers."

"That power may or may not be law, and it can be passed down through special methods, such as through sacrifice or devout worship..."

"Of course, there is a price to pay for using the law."

"The price varies depending on the immortal or deity."

"In short... I just won't cast spells myself."

"Instead, they use themselves as a medium to unleash even stronger killing moves by relying on the power of stronger beings. This has become extremely common in the Middle Realm since the calamity occurred."

As he spoke, the spirit of Qingyang Mountain sighed.

"Although there were practitioners of Qi cultivation who borrowed the method in the past."

"But overall, not many."

"After all, there is a price to pay, but the occurrence of the calamity has made everyone feel insecure and they are trying their best to improve themselves in order to cope with the calamity or find a way to overcome it."

"This has led to the current situation..."

As Qingyang Mountain Spirit continued speaking, He Li recalled the techniques of Ku Rongzi and Yin Yunzi.

They...are they just using the law for their own purposes?

Ku Rongzi's fire, Yin Yunzi's wind-fixing technique...

But then again.

The situation of the True Lord of the Sun and Moon Laws... no matter how He Li looked at it, it was related to the gold foil that Mu Lan and the others had discovered. The words left on the gold foil clearly stated that the River of Time had stopped flowing.

They even said the future would be swallowed up...

That reversed-seat True Lord of the Sun and Moon's Myriad Laws...

Maybe he saw something in the river of time that led him to simply give up?

So what on earth did he see?

He Li was very curious.

Unfortunately, even the spirit of Qingyang Mountain didn't know about this and couldn't possibly tell him, so he could only suppress his curiosity for the time being.

"I'll ask you one last thing."

He Li looked up and spoke with a smile.

Upon seeing this, Qingyang Mountain Spirit suddenly felt a sense of unease.

"Wha...what is it?"

He asked tentatively.

He Li still smiled and asked, "I want to ask, are you allowed to leave here or not?"

Hmm? Upon hearing He Li's question, the spirit of Qingyang Mountain almost instinctively wanted to answer no, after all, his true form, Qingyang Mountain, was right here, how could he leave so easily?

But just as he was about to speak...

He felt inexplicably unwell.

It's as if saying no will lead to unimaginable harm, or even death.

This feeling made him somewhat uneasy.

He didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Seeing that he remained silent for a long time, He Li grew impatient and her tone became cold as she asked, "What are you staring at? Answer me, can you leave or can't you?"

"Is...is it possible?"

The spirit of Qingyang Mountain asked weakly in return.

He Li gave a half-smile and remained silent.

Seeing this, the spirit of Qingyang Mountain remained silent for two seconds, then spoke as if it had mustered its courage and made up its mind...

"able!"

"If we can, let's go!"

He Li smiled brightly. This Qingyang Mountain creature had been around for countless years and had many things in its mind that the Blue Star people didn't know. He Li planned to take it with him later.

If anything happens or you encounter any problems, you can directly ask this guy.

Anyway, his true form is here.

We're not afraid he'll run away, nor are we afraid he'll cause trouble.

Dare to run away, dare to act recklessly?

Come back and smash his original body.

"The matter of these ruins is now resolved. We'll go to that island Jiang Xiong mentioned later, and then we can prepare to land on that so-called overseas immortal mountain!"

Lost in thought, He Li began his descent down the mountain...
