The word "immortal" has been buried in Yin Xiuxuan's memory for a long time. When he was young, Yin Xiuxuan had not yet begun to learn sculpture. At that time, there was always an old man sitting next to the locust tree at the entrance of the village.
The old man's name and appearance were blurred in Yin Xiuxuan's memory. However, he still remembered that every time the old man told stories, the ground was always filled with children, including young children and teenagers.
Most of the stories told by the old man are about immortals who come and go, and dragons are seen but never seen. Those immortals in the old man's stories are extremely powerful, they can move mountains and fill seas, call for wind and rain, and are omnipotent, and these immortals are the most powerful.
What is enviable is that one is immortal and has the same life span as heaven and earth.
At that time, the little Yin Xiuxuan wanted to become an immortal, to have endless years and incomparable magical powers.
I remember one day, Yin Xiuxuan and many children went to the locust tree to wait for the old man to tell stories, but after waiting for a long time, the old man was not seen. At dusk, the adults in each family took the children home in silence.
Went. Since then, the old man has not been seen again.
Later, although Yin Xiuxuan's father learned to read, new memories gradually covered up the previous memories. Until when Yin Xiuxuan was eight years old, he passed by an old locust tree and suddenly remembered the old man. When he went home and asked his parents, Yin's mother finally said
Yin Xiuxuan was informed of what happened that year, and the old man passed away that day.
Yin Xiu
The dream of being an immortal was buried deep in my heart, and I never heard of anything about immortals after that. At most, it was nothing more than the excitement of martial arts.
But now, the booklet that Yin Xiuxuan is holding in his hand, this booklet called "Water Refining Art", mentions the word "immortal", which brings out Yin Xiuxuan's dusty memory and imprints it in his heart again.
.
The word "immortal way", the word "immortal foundation", and the two big words "immortal" caught Yin Xiuxuan's eyes, penetrated into Yin Xiuxuan's heart, dug up Yin Xiuxuan's memory, and smashed everything in the present to pieces. In the word "immortal"
What does the martial arts mean in front of us? What does the martial arts mean before we live forever?
Everything that Yin Xiuxuan has now seems so worthless in front of this Immortal Dao and Immortal Foundation.
"How virtuous and capable are you?"
A question suddenly echoed in Yin Xiuxuan's mind.
"What exactly do I want!"
A self-question echoed in Yin Xiuxuan's heart.
…
Silence, stillness, and sinking, as if a glimmer of light had been found in the darkness, a straw caught in the rushing river. Yin Xiuxuan clenched the booklet in his hand and let out a long roar.
Yin Xiuxuan's struggling expression returned to its initial calmness, and he said calmly: "I want immortality, I want the world to live as long as I want, I want the clouds to no longer cover my eyes, and I want the world to be my own.
!”
After saying that, Yin Xiuxuan closed his eyes and regained control of his slightly rapid breathing. He opened his eyes again and looked at the "Water Refining Technique" in his hand.
Yin Xiu
Only after you pass the first test can you formally practice. If you fail to pass it, your soul will be damaged. In the mild case, your soul will be weak and exhausted for the rest of your life; in the worst case, your soul will be broken and you will be stupid for your whole life.
Of course, this was only a test for those who cultivated immortality in ancient times, and the booklet in Yin Xiuxuan's hands was also used by the disciples of the ancient sect. As for how it got into the hands of Mr. Su, Yin Xiuxuan could not know.
Compared with ancient times, today's immortal cultivators have completely avoided this test, but no one knows the reason.
Unknowingly, the revival of childhood memories combined with the perseverance of a mason inherited from his father's generation became Yin Xiuxuan's original intention, and he passed this test safely. For those who cultivate immortality, this kind of becoming an immortal
The original intention of Tao is also called Tao heart.
Yin Xiuxuan read the introduction carefully again, and finally looked at the two words "immortal", but he felt completely different from what he felt just now. This was a kind of spiritual realization and sublimation.
After reading the introduction, Yin Xiuxuan roughly understood what cultivating immortals was.
The so-called cultivation of immortality is to use special cultivation methods to achieve the improvement of oneself, and the so-called immortality is a stage and goal of cultivation. As for what happens next, Yin Xiuxuan does not know and cannot imagine.
With excitement, Yin Xiuxuan turned over the page of the introduction. Where it was still blank just now, a cultivation method still written in ancient style appeared in front of Yin Xiuxuan.
Although Yin Xiuxuan had already been mentally prepared, this secret book would definitely not be simple. He did not expect it to be so miraculous. It could reveal and hide the text in the blink of an eye. This was a wonderful method that was unimaginable before.
Yin Xiuxuan read it carefully, analyzed it sentence by sentence, and chewed all the contents carefully.
"It's really a mystery, it's really a miracle, it's worthy of being an immortal cultivation method!" After reading, Yin Xiuxuan closed the booklet of water refining method, closed his eyes and thought about it again.
Although he had obtained this magic method for cultivating immortals, Yin Xiuxuan was not ready to practice it immediately. Instead, he picked up another booklet.
This booklet was different from the Water Refining Art booklet. There was no writing on the surface. When he opened it, Yin Xiuxuan suddenly realized that it turned out to be Su Lao's notes on his practice and actions.
After flipping through this notebook, there are some insights from Mr. Su's practice skills. Although it is neatly written, there are not many things that are actually useful to Yin Xiuxuan now. Most of them are just doubts about speeding up his practice.
, and experiment again and again.
Turning to a page of notes, it was full of records with time as the recording point. Suddenly, Yin Xiuxuan's face turned pale.
"How could it be, how could it be like this!"
Yin Xiuxuan is also familiar with what is recorded on this page. It is exactly what happened in the first of the three entry tests.
It turns out that in the first test that year, blood dripped onto the jade pendant. The test was not about the aptitude for martial arts, but the aptitude for cultivating immortality.
The so-called qualifications for cultivating immortals are spiritual roots. If the blood of a person with spiritual roots drips onto the jade, it can be absorbed by the jade. Of course, this is the crudest test method, and then the spiritual roots of the person with spiritual roots need to be tested.
Root attributes are checked.
Generally speaking, the attributes of spiritual roots correspond to the five elements, which are divided into metal, wood, earth, water, and fire. For today's immortals, having a single spiritual root is the best qualification for cultivation, followed by two spiritual roots, and then
Three types, and four or more are called waste spiritual roots. Even those who can cultivate immortality are only at the lowest stage, and it is difficult to achieve improvement.
However, for Yin Xiuxuan, having all the five elements spiritual roots is still a luxury, because he conducted a test when he started, and the results needless to say.
Suddenly, Yin Xiuxuan saw the piece of jade found on Su Lao's body and felt that it looked very familiar. After thinking about it carefully, Yin Xiuxuan's eyes lit up, and he put everything except the iron ring into his arms, and just picked up the piece of jade.
