Immortality Cultivation: Fellow Daoists, please live for two more episodes!
Chapter 2 Potential Stocks Go Public
Half a month later, at the Longmen Inn, eight hundred miles away from the Chen family, Zhou Youyuan was enjoying a large bowl of wide noodles on the table.
"Little Yuanzi, when will the promised dividends arrive in your account?"
The person speaking sat across the table. Although her face was veiled and her full appearance could not be seen, her eyes were clear and bright, full of charm. Just by looking at her eyes, one could tell that a beauty must be behind that skin.
"It'll be here soon, it'll be here soon. Didn't I say it would be in half a month? I'll definitely get it to you in half a month."
Zhou Youyuan slurped up a large mouthful of noodle soup and mumbled a perfunctory reply.
The woman who spoke was Zhao Xiaotang, the only "legacy" left to him by his body.
Of course, the word "heritage" sounds a bit harsh, but that's the gist of it.
This girl was his childhood sweetheart, whom he grew up with since they were little. Although they didn't end up together, they had a deep bond, no less than siblings, and she was his only high-level connection.
Don't be fooled by the greedy glint in her eyes that seems to be demanding repayment of debts. This girl is a genuine high-level Qi Refining cultivator, and she even joined a major immortal sect at a young age.
This time, he was just visiting his parents occasionally and taking the opportunity to see his childhood playmate, who was still struggling in the mundane world.
Otherwise, in this cultivation world where human life is as worthless as grass, how could Zhou Youyuan, a mere mortal with no cultivation, dare to play that "Zhou's Scam" of getting something for nothing?
It wasn't entirely due to his childhood sweetheart acting as a backer for his shell company.
Even a wrecked ship needs three thousand nails. If it weren't for her high-level Qi Refining cultivation as a cover, those shrewd and cunning wealthy merchants in town wouldn't have fallen for her trap, let alone swindled a hundred taels of gold.
"Then hurry up and give it to me. This family visit leave is only half a month. I have to go back to the Azure Phoenix Sect to report in a couple of days."
"Okay, okay, I'll get it for you tomorrow, I'll definitely get it for you tomorrow..."
Zhou Youyuan appeared to be focused on eating the wide noodles in his bowl, but in reality, his mind had already sunk deep into the depths of his consciousness.
Within the sea of consciousness, the mirror-like surface rippled, traversing eight hundred miles of clouds and mist, accurately reflecting the scene unfolding in another region.
"Ah! Young Master, ah! When you go to the Immortal Sect tomorrow, will you still remember me and Hong'er?"
"Of course, I wouldn't forget you two little sluts. I'll definitely take you up with me then."
Within the layers of crimson soft curtains, figures could be vaguely seen moving about.
To celebrate his upcoming entry into the immortal realm tomorrow, Young Master Chen was in high spirits tonight and summoned the two beautiful maids he had recently acquired into his tent.
Beside the bed, a wrinkled brocade Taoist robe was carelessly tossed on the floor, while two embroidered bodices hung precariously from the headboard.
From time to time, the sweet, cloying moans of a woman mingled with the heavy breathing of a man, creating a scene of unbridled debauchery and decadence.
Zhou Youyuan: (⊙ˍ⊙)?
No, it's a new account, don't mess with it!
I only have one account slot, and I'm going all in on this potential star, but don't just let me see live sex scenes every time.
You're much more adept at having fun than those guys from my previous life...
But the eldest son of the Chen family obviously couldn't hear Zhou Youyuan's ramblings and was still working hard on his own until a very deliberate cough came from outside.
"Ahem! Changsheng, are you in there?"
The heavy breathing inside the tent stopped abruptly. Feeling guilty, Chen Changsheng pulled the blanket over the two pale, delicate bodies, put on a thin robe, and opened the door.
Standing outside the door was his own father, the old patriarch of the Chen family, who had traveled a long distance to personally escort him to the exam.
"Father, why are you here so late..."
"You unfilial son, tomorrow you will be going to seek enlightenment, yet you're still indulging in worldly pleasures!"
The old patriarch muttered a curse under his breath, but didn't delve into it. Instead, after looking around to ensure safety, he thief-like closed the door and pulled an extremely exquisite sandalwood brocade box from his sleeve.
"This is?"
Chen Changsheng took the brocade box with a puzzled look. He opened the lid and found a crimson pill filled with spiritual energy and an ancient sheepskin scroll inside.
The old patriarch was overjoyed: "This is a Qi Gathering Pill, and this is the 'Spirit Absorption Technique.' I spent half of my family's wealth to finally get this set of treasures from a rogue cultivator on the black market at a high price."
This "Spirit Absorption Technique" has no other advantages, and it cannot compare to the profound methods of the Creation Immortal Sect. However, it does have its own merits, namely, it ensures the balance of the central meridian, so there will be no conflict when switching to cultivate the advanced techniques of the Immortal Sect in the future.
"Father, what do you mean?"
"You're too naive, child. Your cousin said that tomorrow's sect competition is the most intense. Since we're already related, why bother with the entrance exam?"
I've already discussed it with him. If you can break through to the first level of Qi Refining before the assessment, he promised me he'll take you directly to his master to see if you can skip the assessment and enter the sect directly.
Chen Changsheng said somewhat awkwardly, "But Father, perhaps you don't understand the ways of cultivating immortality... The first step in cultivating immortality is called gathering Qi."
The mortal body, with its meridians blocked like stagnant water, needs to find a blessed land to sit quietly and meditate, sensing the wisp of primordial pure energy that roams freely between heaven and earth.
Then, carefully guide the Qi into the body, peel away the mundane impurities, cleanse the eight extraordinary meridians, and finally ignite the Qi vortex in the Dantian to achieve the union of spirit and Qi.
Chen Changsheng sighed, looking troubled: "This kind of painstaking skill depends entirely on one's comprehension and opportunity. Even a peerless genius with a heavenly spiritual root needs to cultivate quietly for a hundred days before he can even begin to learn."
"With a mid-grade aptitude like yours, it would take at least half a year, and at most a year, for this child. The immortal sect's assessment is tomorrow morning; how can one possibly cross this insurmountable chasm between immortals and mortals overnight?"
The old patriarch's lips curled into a shrewd smile: "Silly child, take a look at this 'Spirit Gathering Technique' first."
Let's see first and then decide?
Didn't Father say that this "Spirit Gathering Technique" was an introductory method he obtained from a rogue cultivator? Is there some other secret behind it?
Chen Changsheng unfolded the ancient sheepskin scroll with some skepticism, but after only glancing at the beginning, he couldn't look away.
"A single yang cannot produce life, a single yin cannot grow. By seizing the essence and drawing upon the pure yin of the furnace, one tempers the yang fire within oneself. In the interplay of yin and yang, one forcefully rushes through the mysterious gate of heaven and earth, transforming into primordial primordial qi, which is then absorbed into the sea of spiritual energy..."
???
This is not some kind of method for entering the Dao with a peaceful central channel; it is clearly a heretical practice of dual cultivation that steals another person's Dao foundation to achieve one's own.
Chen Changsheng clicked his tongue in amazement: "Father, this..."
The old patriarch waved his hand: "Don't worry, your father has already consulted with your cousin. Although this method is wicked, it has no drawbacks. The Dao is basically the innate spirit, so who dares to say that it is not righteous and peaceful?"
As for the furnace/cauldron, you thought you were going to seek immortality, so why would your father inexplicably find you two maids? It's because they both possess spiritual roots. Don't say anything more, hurry up and get to work."
Chen Changsheng was so moved by his father's arrangements that he almost cried: "Father! You have truly gone to great lengths for my path to immortality!"
After saying that, he didn't waste any more words. He stuffed the Qi Gathering Pill into his mouth, turned around and left, as if he had made up his mind. His target was the bed.
As the saying goes: "In the depths of spring, the rouge and powder fade; her jade-like skin melts into bones, and the moonlight grows cold. She seizes the primordial essence and condenses the true qi, thus breaking through the first barrier between immortals and mortals."
Once again, the woman's moans and the Chen family's eldest son's low growls as he gritted his teeth and worked hard echoed from the bed.
It was late at night.
The waxing and waning of the moon is also the time when yin and yang meet, water and milk blend together, spirit and energy unite, and the mysterious gate opens!
The first level of Qi refinement is now complete!
Off-screen, Zhou Youyuan: ? ? ? So this is how you enter the Dao?
You're something else, Chen Changsheng. Originally, he only considered this guy as a transitional product. After all, although this guy was ruthless enough, he wasn't very smart and wasn't vigilant enough.
With such a clear indication of an early death, he only intended to use this guy to help him step into the threshold of cultivation first, so that he would have the power to protect himself.
But now it seems like a combination of a privileged father and inhuman behavior...
Could it be that his promising stock still has the potential to soar to new heights?
