Chapter 114: Planting the Seed of Immortality, Glimpsing the Immortal Path!
Su Xing felt a vein throb in his forehead.
What the hell?
He got so many stares walking down the road that an old man on a bicycle crashed into him, resulting in a 66,000 yuan compensation?
This was too ridiculous!
"As expected, being too eye-catching isn't a good thing either!"
Su Xing sighed and looked back at the simulation panel.
[You realize the trouble your talent brings you. Fortunately, you don't go out often. Staying in the Spirit Field Paradise to refine pills and cultivate is also a good idea.]
[One day, you went to the Luotian Conference dungeon, preparing to inquire about the Fourth-grade Nascent Soul.]
[In the Luotian Conference dungeon, the person in charge who opened the dungeon for you was successfully attracted by you and took an extra glance at you.]
[You have entered the Luotian Conference dungeon!]
Seeing this, Su Xing quickly thought:
"Use immersive simulation mode, duration two hours!"
[Ding, you have successfully used immersive simulation, consuming 200,000 energy points, simulating for 2 hours, remaining energy 24,463,003 points.]
As the prompt sounded, Su Xing's vision changed, and he appeared in a palace.
Su Xing looked up, and the person standing in front of him was Elder Niu Rulie, whom he had met in the previous simulation.
Niu Rulie walked over and patted Su Xing's shoulder, saying:
"Good disciple, you have finally come out of seclusion! Go to the back mountain and invite your Martial Uncle Shennong to participate in the Luotian Conference!"
Su Xing nodded in response, silently digesting a small piece of memory that had appeared in his mind.
"My identity is Luo Xiaochuan, Niu Rulie's direct disciple... and also one of the twelve strongest Nascent Soul (Yuanwu) cultivators in the Luotian Sect?"
"Also the star disciple who charmed thousands of girls, ah呸... charmed millions of inner and outer sect junior brothers and sisters?"
"Hiss... my identity has changed again! One of the twelve strongest Nascent Soul cultivators? Is it because of the dual cultivation of body refinement and Qi refinement in the Nascent Soul stage?"
Su Xing quickly went through his thoughts and bowed to his master Niu Rulie:
"Yes, Master!"
Su Xing walked straight towards the back mountain without asking Niu Rulie about the Fourth-grade Nascent Soul.
In his opinion, Niu Rulie was obviously a body refinement cultivator and shouldn't know much about Qi refinement...
Soon, Su Xing met Shennong Youtian.
Shennong Youtian was using the Farming Technique. When he saw Su Xing, he stopped casting the spell and said to Su Xing:
"Nephew! I noticed you coming from afar! Are you here to call me to participate in the Luotian Conference?"
Su Xing nodded, feeling speechless in his heart. As expected, he was the most dazzling person in the crowd...
Su Xing took Martial Uncle Shennong to the venue of the Luotian Conference. Along the way, Su Xing and Martial Uncle Shennong chatted casually.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Su Xing asked the question in his heart.
"Martial Uncle, do you know what the Fourth-grade Nascent Soul is, and how can one perfectly achieve the Divine Transformation realm?"
Shennong Youtian smiled and replied:
"Nephew, I haven't seen you for more than ten years, and you have actually reached the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage... You are truly a promising young man!"
"But you are asking about the Fourth-grade Nascent Soul, could it be that you are seeking the path to immortality?"
Su Xing frowned slightly and asked:
"Martial Uncle, what is the connection between the Fourth-grade Nascent Soul and the path to immortality?"
Shennong Youtian said:
"The so-called immortality is the process of a seed of immortality taking root and sprouting... And to achieve immortality, one must plant a seed of immortality!"
"Throughout history, all the predecessors who ascended through tribulation have achieved the Ninth-Revolution Golden Core, because this is the foundation of everything..."
"And after the Ninth-Revolution Golden Core, there is the division of the Fourth-grade Nascent Soul, which are: Third-grade Nascent Soul, Second-grade Nascent Soul, First-grade Nascent Soul, and Super-grade Nascent Soul!"
"The Third-grade Nascent Soul can achieve the Divine Transformation realm. Without great opportunities, one may be stuck in the Divine Transformation realm for a lifetime and unable to make further progress."
"The Second-grade Nascent Soul can glimpse the wonders of the Void Return realm and enjoy a lifespan of 3,000 years!"
"The First-grade Nascent Soul can become a cultivator of the Integration or Mahayana realm, with an endless lifespan, living for 10,000 years! But without opportunities, one cannot achieve immortality..."
"Only the Super-grade Nascent Soul can open up fertile ground for the planting of the seed of immortality. After reaching the Great Perfection of the Divine Transformation realm, one can plant the seed of immortality. When it takes root and sprouts, one can glimpse the secrets of immortality and have a lifespan as long as the heavens..."
Su Xing was a little lost as he looked at Shennong Youtian, who was shaking his head as he spoke.
Immortality... What a distant word.
Throughout history, countless senior experts in the cultivation world have tried to ascend to immortality, but how many true immortals are there in the world?
Even with the heaven-defying cheat like the simulator, Su Xing currently didn't dare to think about immortality.
After all, in myths and legends, immortals were truly omnipotent beings...
Su Xing came back to his senses and asked Martial Uncle Shennong:
"So, condensing a Super-grade Nascent Soul means achieving immortality?"
Shennong Youtian shook his head slightly and said:
"To be precise, in the path of Qi refinement, one must condense a Super-grade Nascent Soul to have the hope of achieving immortality..."
Su Xing nodded, understanding that this was a necessary but not sufficient condition!
So Su Xing asked again:
"So, how are these four grades of Nascent Soul divided, and how can one achieve the Super-grade Nascent Soul?"
Shennong Youtian said:
"Take the Nascent Soul Forging Pill and overcome the five trials of lust, fear, greed, arrogance, and anger to achieve the Super-grade Nascent Soul!"
"Taking the Nascent Soul Forging Pill is not difficult, as the sect provides it. Since you have cultivated the Ninth-Revolution Golden Core, you can take up to three Nascent Soul Forging Pills, which can directly help you achieve the First-grade Nascent Soul."
"The First-grade Nascent Soul is not difficult, the difficulty lies in overcoming the five trials. Only by overcoming the five trials of lust, fear, greed, arrogance, and anger can one's state of mind be firm enough to achieve the Super-grade Nascent Soul..."
Su Xing suddenly felt a headache. Let's not talk about the five trials of the state of mind for now, just the Nascent Soul Forging Pill was something Su Xing couldn't get his hands on.
If Su Xing didn't have the ingredients for refining the Nascent Soul Forging Pill, it would be a big problem.
So Su Xing quickly asked:
"Martial Uncle, what is the formula for the Nascent Soul Forging Pill? I'm very interested..."
Shennong Youtian looked at him strangely and said:
"What's the use of asking this, nephew? With your status, you can just go to the alchemy room and get it..."
Su Xing: "..."
Damn it, if he could take the items from the Luotian Conference dungeon out, would he still be talking so much nonsense here?
Su Xing looked up at Shennong Youtian.
Seeing Su Xing's sincere eyes, Shennong Youtian sighed and said:
"Alright, since you are interested in alchemy, Martial Uncle will help you."
Shennong Youtian pointed a finger at Su Xing's forehead, and Su Xing suddenly felt a mass of memories appear in his mind.
The Nascent Soul Forging Pill formula!
The main ingredient is the Three-tailed Phoenix Grass, supplemented by Snow Jade Bone Ginseng...
Apart from these two ingredients, the rest were common herbs that Su Xing could find a way to get.
But the key was these two ingredients, Su Xing had never even heard of them!
"This is a big problem! Not only is the Divine Strength Pill difficult to refine, but even this Nascent Soul Forging Pill is out of reach!"
Su Xing sighed. His only hope now was that the Advent Cult's treasury or the seeds that Old Daoist Qingyunzi left him had these two ingredients.
Su Xing and Shennong Youtian rushed towards the Luotian Conference.
Along the way, Shennong Youtian was talking and laughing, but Su Xing was frowning.
After sending Shennong Youtian to the Luotian Conference, Su Xing rushed to the Scripture Pavilion without stopping, found the Herbal Encyclopedia, and memorized the appearance of the Three-tailed Phoenix Grass and Snow Jade Bone Ginseng, as well as how to identify their seeds.
Soon, two hours passed, and Su Xing returned to the real world.
After returning to the real world, Su Xing frowned and sighed:
"Sigh, I hope I can successfully find the ingredients..."
Su Xing looked at the simulation panel.
[You left the Luotian Conference dungeon and returned to the Spirit Field Paradise.]
[You opened the bag of seeds that Old Daoist Qingyunzi left you and scanned them one by one with your divine sense. Finally, you found a few seeds that looked like Three-tailed Phoenix Grass!]
[You planted these seeds, but you didn't find Snow Jade Bone Ginseng, so you felt a little irritated and could only pin your hopes on the Advent Cult's treasury.]
[In the next few months, in addition to refining pills day and night, you also took good care of the Three-tailed Phoenix Grass. Unfortunately, the Three-tailed Phoenix Grass grew very slowly. According to the formula, the Three-tailed Phoenix Grass is a type of grass that is said to be favored by phoenixes. It has three tails at its tip, and it takes one hundred years to grow one tail, meaning it takes three hundred years to mature!]
[But you had no choice but to wait, using Wood Spiritual Qi to stimulate its growth every day, hoping that it would take root and sprout soon.]
[One day, Wang Qingxuan found you. After a night, you joined the Advent Cult.]
[As soon as you joined the Advent Cult, you revealed your cultivation and alchemy talent, and proposed to become an elder. The Advent Cult agreed to your request, as long as you simply complete a few alchemy tasks, they will grant you the position of elder.]
Su Xing frowned slightly. The cultivation of the Three-tailed Phoenix Grass was more difficult than he had imagined. Three hundred years... Even with his Plant Affinity talent and daily stimulation with Spiritual Qi, it would probably take sixty to seventy years...
Each simulation lasted twenty-five years at most. Su Xing would need to use three simulations and waste three opportunities to choose rewards to bring out the Three-tailed Phoenix Grass.
This was unacceptable to Su Xing.
"Is there any other way to make the Three-tailed Phoenix Grass mature faster..."
Su Xing thought of the Shennong Spirit Nurturing Technique. This Spirit Nurturing Technique was profound and its skills were close to the Dao.
But there was too much content in it, comparable to a novel with tens of millions of words. Su Xing had never had the time to read it, let alone memorize it.
All along, Su Xing's use of the Shennong Spirit Nurturing Technique was limited to raising chickens and learning a bit about Spirit Gathering Formations.
But now, Su Xing could only rely on this Shennong Spirit Nurturing Technique.
Thinking of this, Su Xing looked at the simulation panel.
[You realized that the Three-tailed Phoenix Grass matured too slowly, and you couldn't wait that long, so you read the Shennong Spirit Nurturing Technique that Old Daoist Qingyunzi left you.]
[The Shennong Spirit Nurturing Technique contains a vast amount of information. It took you a month to find some techniques for accelerating the growth of spiritual plants in this book.]
[You are ready to try learning the Earth Dragon Technique and the Spiritual Dew Technique!]
[The Earth Dragon Technique is to cultivate Earth Dragons in the field and let them continuously cultivate the spiritual field to increase its fertility...]
[Earth Dragons that are old enough can even double or even multiply the fertility of the spiritual field, thereby accelerating the maturity of spiritual plants!]
[As for the Spiritual Dew Technique...]
