In the twelfth lunar month of winter, Lianxi City was covered with a thick white coat, the sky was overcast, and goose-feather-like snow was flying all over the sky.
"It's another cold winter."
Looking at the flying snow in the sky, Li Jie stood on the porch and let out a sigh.
It has been more than a hundred years since he entered the mortal world, and he is now a great monk in the alchemy stage, but he still has no idea how to let mortals cultivate immortality.
Is it true that mortals without spiritual roots cannot cultivate immortality?
Last year, it was also in this small courtyard that Li Jie handed the jade slip to Xiang Zhili. Those three methods were as close as possible to the world view of ordinary people.
Even if you are lucky enough to succeed and discover a principle that allows mortals to cultivate immortality, it will still be useless in the main world.
After all, there are no such things as heavenly materials and earthly treasures in the main world, at least Li Jie has not seen anything similar for the time being.
With the deepening of industrialization, the natural environment is bound to be damaged to varying degrees.
Not to mention natural treasures, even common consumables such as century-old ginseng are becoming increasingly rare in the main world.
The reason why Li Jie came up with three methods that cannot be applied in the main world was mainly to prove one thing: whether spiritual roots can be artificially created.
If not, continuing to stay in the mortal world is futile.
Although the mortal world is a world of superpowers, Li Jie's future is not just the mortal world, and the skills here are obviously not universal.
In terms of effectiveness, the skills in the mortal world are not even as great as those in the martial arts world.
In the main world, Li Jie's master level cultivation is not fake. Now, as long as he does not encounter large-scale intensive bombing, his life safety can be guaranteed.
"Master, senior brother is here again."
The young disciple Wu Xiaoshan came to the small courtyard lightly and bowed slightly.
"Call him over."
"yes."
Wu Xiaoshan was stunned for a moment before saying yes.
Teacher seems to be in a good mood today?
In the past year, the senior brother came to visit almost every month. Every time, the teacher avoided seeing him. Wu Xiaoshan thought that the senior brother would return without success again today.
I never thought that the teacher would actually relent today.
Wu Xiaoshan is the youngest among several senior brothers. When he was a child, he was almost brought up by his senior brother. Therefore, he and his senior brother have a very good relationship.
The teacher has not seen his senior brother for a long time, but he sees it and is anxious in his heart.
Seeing that senior brother finally got what he wanted, Wu Xiaoshan's footsteps became a little lighter.
After a while, Wu Xiaoshan walked into the small courtyard with a man wearing blue singlet.
When the man in blue saw Li Jie, he immediately bowed his head and bowed to the ground.
"Unworthy disciple Feng Xiuwen pays homage to the teacher!"
"Get up."
Looking at the eldest disciple who was kneeling on the ground, Li Jie sighed. This boy was the first disciple he accepted, and he was also the one who put in the most effort.
Perhaps it was because he did not hide his identity as an immortal cultivator like him, so the eldest disciple always wanted to cultivate immortality.
Even though he repeatedly emphasized that one must have spiritual roots to cultivate immortality, he was still unwilling to do so.
Speaking of which, this boy's personality is somewhat similar to Doctor Mo, but it's a pity that he, like Doctor Mo, has no spiritual roots.
"Disciples don't dare!"
Feng Xiuwen was still crawling on the ground. Only after he had been away from home for twenty years did he realize how good his master was to him.
At the same time, he was also clearly aware of what Monk Jiedan represented. It was no exaggeration to say that a word from Monk Jiedan could change the fate of countless mortals.
Seeing that the eldest disciple couldn't afford to kneel, Li Jie didn't bother to talk anymore, so he just knelt. Anyway, with his cultivation level, nothing would happen if he knelt for ten days and a half.
"When you come back this time, are you still leaving?"
Hearing these words, Feng Xiuwen's nose suddenly became sore. He understood that the master had forgiven him.
Immediately, he spoke in a choked tone.
"I'm not leaving."
"Then let's stay as a janitor. It just so happens that Xiao Liu, the janitor in the mansion, has taken leave to go back to his hometown to see his grandson."
"Disciple, obey!"
"Where have you been all these years?"
"disciple……"
In the following time, Feng Xiuwen slowly recounted his experiences in the past twenty years.
Feng Xiuwen knew that his master didn't like trouble, so he basically didn't do any activities in Huayu Country. His first stop was the Xi Country next door.
He stayed in Xi Country for nearly ten years. During these ten years, he came into contact with many immortal cultivators. As for the purpose of contact, it was naturally to find a way to cultivate immortality.
But the replies I got were all, without exception, 'Mortals without spiritual roots cannot cultivate immortality'.
Later, he ran away to Yuanwu Kingdom.
Just when Feng Xiuwen was talking about his experiences during his travels to Yuanwu Kingdom, Li Jie suddenly spoke.
"Wait a minute, you said you met the monks from Yellow Maple Valley?"
Shouldn't Huang Maple Valley go to Beiliang?
How could a disciple appear in Yuanwu Kingdom and take root in Yuanwu Kingdom?
Seeing his master suddenly interrupting his words, Feng Xiuwen's heart moved.
Is there any connection between Huang Maple Valley and the master?
Although he was very puzzled, Feng Xiuwen answered Li Jie's questions truthfully.
"When I was in Qingzhou, I did meet the disciples of Huang Maple Valley. However, Huang Maple Valley is not called Huang Maple Valley now, but is called Ziyun Sect. The sect is based in Ziyun Mountain in Qingzhou."
Li Jie nodded slightly and secretly wrote down the place name Ziyun Mountain.
If you feel restless one day, you can go over and have a look. After all, he came from Yellow Maple Valley.
However, after listening to Feng Xiuwen's story, Li Jie felt that Huang Maple Valley in Ziyun Mountain did not seem to be the main force in Huang Maple Valley.
Otherwise, even if Huang Maple Valley declines again, the name of the sect will not be easily changed.
They should just be lurking seeds, equivalent to other courtyards. When Huang Maple Valley is able to retake the mountain gate one day, this branch will be recalled to the main sect.
This situation is not uncommon in the world of immortality.
Hearing the name "Yellow Maple Valley" again, Li Jie couldn't help but think of Han Li.
More than a hundred years have passed, and I don't know where Han Li is now. Did he go to the Sea of Chaotic Stars like in the original work?
The main reason why Li Jie was unsure of Lao Mo's whereabouts was because of the time traveler named 'Luo Hong'.
Although according to his observation, 'Luo Hong' is not a Long Aotian-style time traveler, no one knows the nature of a time traveler better than him.
Because in a strict sense, he is also a 'traveler', and he is the kind of time traveler who has traveled through many worlds.
After thinking for a while, Li Jie felt that Han Li would not have any major problems.
With the Sky Bottle in hand, even if Han Li was deprived of some of his opportunities, he could still live well.
There is no way, who makes the Heaven Palm Vase so unnatural.
Suddenly, an idea came to Li Jie's mind.
Why don't you go out and move around?
He has been living in Lianxi City for nearly a hundred years. It doesn't matter if he goes out for a walk, Xiang Zhili won't have any results in a short time anyway.
