Keqing, it’s just cultivating immortality, is it that difficult?

"My two Taoist friends, do you have something suitable to exchange?"

"Pfft, it can be seen that fellow Daoist is really here to trade things."

The woman smiled and looked at Keqing.

"Otherwise I would have thought you were here to slay demons and uphold justice."

Keqing blinked.

"If it's not for trading, why come to the trade fair?"

"As for slaying demons and promoting justice, isn't it because they deceived me that I should teach them a lesson? There is no such thing as promoting justice. Everyone has their own unique face and justice varies from person to person. I can't take on that responsibility."

After hearing Keqing say this, the two looked at her and felt that this girl was really insightful.

"This guy's name is Hu Qian, my name is Ruo Qing, may I know your name, fellow Taoist?"

Keqing paused, then shook her head.

"It's not convenient for me to tell you..."

Inconvenient? Is it because he is very famous?

She wanted to say something, but suddenly glanced at the person still standing beside her.

"Why haven't you left yet, young man?"

Keqing followed her gaze and saw who it was. She knew exactly who it was.

"Are you asking me for a solution?"

That’s right, the other party was the white-faced monk.

Seeing Keqing's direct and direct suggestion, the white-faced monk nodded and spoke in a trembling voice.

"I would like to ask for your advice... My name is Lian Chi."

"It's not really about guidance... Since you said that, then you want to trade? Let me make it clear in advance that I don't have the technique you want."

"Of course, I believe in you. After all, I felt that you were so casual in guiding those young monks, and it was completely different from the great masters I had seen. I believe that I can handle this situation."

"Is it because you discovered that I am a Celestial Sovereign?"

Keqing smiled.

"After all, you are of a higher rank than me, so I can naturally trust your experience."

Lian Chi spoke honestly.

Ruoqing on the side raised her eyebrows.

"You are a young man who speaks the truth... But I think you are even older than this fellow, so your experience is not certain."

"How could it be!? Senior is younger than me?"

Lian Chi looked at Keqing in astonishment. Keqing touched her nose and said nothing, which was her agreement.

Even Ruoqing was surprised.

She actually guessed it right!

This is too exaggerated, she was just talking casually!

But after a moment she calmed down, looked at Lian Chi and said.

"It just so happens that I am also very interested in how this Taoist fellow gives advice. The three of us are all Heavenly Sovereigns. You tell me your problem. Three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang. As for your Golden Moon Rock..."

"Whether it succeeds or not, I will give the Golden Moon Rock to you as a reward."

He looked reassuring, but Keqing shook her head.

"That's not necessary. If I can't solve it, I won't take any payment."

Besides, she was also very interested. The other party's spiritual energy was dissipating, and there seemed to be other souls in his body? Was it a possession?

"In that case, release your consciousness, don't resist, and let us see."

Lian Chi nodded upon hearing this and completely relaxed his mind.

Keqing's spiritual sense swept over, like ripples in spring water, like a breeze blowing on the face. She thought the other party would react violently, but she didn't expect that her sea of ​​consciousness had no reaction at all.

Not only did I scan

She asked the system to scan it again.

It wasn't until Keqing said "OK" that Lian Chi finally reacted, so quickly that he was even a little dazed.

"All right?"

"Well, I've finished checking."

Keqing nodded slightly, and Lian Chi was stunned. He clearly hadn’t sensed anything yet, so was it over?

Is this the power of the Heavenly Monarch?

"The situation is a bit complicated...would you two like to take a look?"

"Okay, I'll take a look too."

Then Lian Chi realized that it was not the strength of Tianjun at all, but simply that this senior did not allow him to notice it at all.

The two people behind, one is like a gust of cold wind, and the other is like a scorching sun. After checking them out, I feel that they are obviously suppressing me. Although there is no sense of rejection, the suppression of the superior over the inferior is too obvious.

Of course, it is also possible that their styles are different and the other party has not restrained himself at all.

However, after a thorough examination, his physical problems were indeed revealed.

"You are in the Nascent Soul illusion, your soul is injured, right?"

Hu Qian looked at the young man in surprise.

"If I'm not mistaken, your soul was injured when you were in the Golden Core stage, and even your origin was damaged. Logically, you should have stopped at the Great Dao and should not have been able to condense the Nascent Soul..."

"Yes, I also feel that your Nascent Soul is a little scattered. Your meridians are okay, but the spiritual energy filtered out is really a bit mixed."

Hearing the two of them say this, Lian Chi laughed bitterly.

"Yes, my soul was indeed damaged, but it was stabilized by a treasure passed down from my family."

"Then……"

"And then there was something else that volunteered to act as your soul and spirit, which allowed you to cultivate into a Nascent Soul? However, this soul and spirit are different from yours, so even if it condensed into a Nascent Soul, it also underwent some kind of abnormality, causing your Nascent Soul to be illusory and have an immune response."

"Is the one soul and one spirit fake? I didn't even notice it."

"Me neither..."

Ruoqing and Hu Qian looked at each other and said something. They really didn't notice anything, they could only feel that there was something wrong with the other's soul.

In fact, Keqing also noticed that there was something wrong with her soul. The system scanned it again and realized that this soul was somewhat incompatible with the current soul.

In the system's words, this Nascent Soul was covered with patches, which was extremely obvious to it.

[Patch? Can you see it so clearly? ]

Keqing was puzzled. At most, she could sense the complex aura of the Nascent Soul, as if countless energies were mixed together, and she couldn't distinguish it accurately.

If the system can be described by patches, it means that the other party's monitoring ability is better than ours.

After all, you can see the patches clearly, so naturally you can accurately distinguish which is which, which is that, which is external, and which is your own.

[Yes, this is what the system scanned... Master, you...]

[Don't worry, I don't feel anything, I just feel a little sad. ]

Hearing the system's hesitant words, Keqing felt relieved in her heart. Even she had to admit that the system was indeed very strong, at least in some aspects. Was this the consensus of the system and was every system like this, or was it something else?

Keqing couldn't help but feel a sense of crisis.

Even if her system was special, could she guarantee that it was only hers? If all systems were so powerful, she would be even more alert. No wonder these systems were so powerful that they could deceive the heavens, steal luck, and hide in the sea of ​​consciousness without being discovered.

When she thought of this, Keqing's sense of crisis was maxed out.

I didn’t think so before. I thought it was good to have such an assistant, but Keqing also knew that there was a word in the world of cultivation: “backlash”.

Backlash means that one's own abilities are insufficient, and the abilities of the being under the contract are higher than one's own, so backlash occurs.

Of course, she is not worried about this kind of subjective backlash. What she is worried about is the passive backlash in her ability.

People can create machines to help themselves, and they can also let the system help them solve many problems. Logically speaking, the system's capabilities are inherently stronger than themselves, because the essence of machines is to help themselves, so how can they not be stronger than themselves?

Although this machine was taken over and modified by her.

However, this kind of blind dependence will only lead to your own destruction.

She can use auxiliary objects to help herself, such as flying boats, magical instruments, and even some elixirs. Letting these human-created things assist her in her practice can make things more convenient for her.

But at the same time, she hopes that when she leaves these assistants, she will have the corresponding ability to do some of the above.

For example, healing ability, flying ability, exploration ability, and combat ability. Not to mention extremely good effects and long-term maintenance, but at least they must have a systematic exploration method.

But Keqing heard from the system that people in a certain world were too dependent on external things and were proud of it.

But, external objects are external objects after all, and what is not yours is not yours after all. Since they are external objects, it means that others can snatch your external objects from you, and if you lose your external objects, the value you created by relying on external objects will no longer be yours. You will no longer have any ability or means to protect yourself.

Keqing could not tolerate such a situation if it happened to her.

She could allow the system to have powerful exploration capabilities, but Keqing felt that she had to at least learn this kind of exploration. Otherwise, if something went wrong, how could she, who relied on the system to explore certain things,

It's not useless.

She doesn't have too high requirements. It doesn't matter even if it is very energy-consuming, but at least you have to know how to do it.

Thinking of this, Keqing asked the system in her heart.

[What did you use to detect it? How can I do that with your ability? ]

Keqing began to ask questions directly and clearly, which stunned the system.

This is the first time a host has asked this question, although this time it is not the host but its master.

[This, ... I don't know either, Master. We use a special power to explore using the Void.]

【Xu Ming?】

Keqing had never heard of this, but suddenly some ideas came to her mind.

[What is Xu Ming? Or is it the Ming in the Xu Hai? ]

[It is the power of the virtual sea, just like the rippling water waves, which exists in the virtual sea, can be seen everywhere, and wanders everywhere. The virtual sea is the inner world, and the inner world encompasses everything. It is also the location of the law sea. The power there combined with some special means can form this special power, forming a kind of... well, we call it Ming power there. You are actually very familiar with Ming power. Some things are very similar to it, that is, coercion. ]

[Coercion? Are you saying that coercion can also detect things, rather than simply emitting aura? Used to intimidate? Since it is related to coercion, it must be related to the soul and realm.]

Keqing seemed to be lost in thought.

[So the soul can control the pressure, and can also use the pressure combined with the virtual sea and the magnetic force you mentioned to achieve the above. Is it the same as you exploring? ]

[If it is related to the soul, does it mean that it can be learned? ]

The system was a little stunned. The master's thinking was really fast.

[Yes, in theory it is possible, but no one has ever done it, because this ability requires extremely strong control and is very stressful on the mind, which is why the pressure from a strong person can even immobilize a low-level cultivator.]

[This involves a lot, and ordinary souls cannot do it. In addition, it also requires connecting to the dark power of the virtual sea. As for the master... I am not sure.]

The system replied hesitantly that there was really no such precedent.

[It doesn't matter. Since the soul can have such a theory and it can be done, I will learn it slowly. Please teach me later.]

Keqing said very politely.

It’s good if you can learn it, but if you can’t, there’s nothing you can do.

However, Keqing also understands that there are some things that humans really cannot do, and because of this they have to create tools.

Hey, wait, have I fallen into a misunderstanding?

I am a cultivator. Cultivators are not ordinary people, so why should I follow the theories of ordinary people?

If you can't do it, then create a magical tool instead of making yourself able to do it. This way of thinking is not a good one. Instead, it will make you more inclined to create external things to help yourself, such as strength, instead of prioritizing training and improving yourself.

These conversations lasted only a moment, and Keqing never spoke to the system again, instead focusing on the situation at hand.

After Lian Chi heard the situation from Keqing, he lowered his head and told her about his problems.

"That's right, Senior, my soul is indeed incomplete, and a relative once sacrificed his soul to help me complete it.

"I used to be an ordinary family, but our ancestors helped a monster, which led to the birth of the Guardian Fairy. Does the Guardian Fairy know about this senior?"
