As Yunze uttered those words, a trace of astonishment clearly flashed in the old beggar's eyes.
Once upon a time, his master asked him the same question.
But at that time he had only one answer.
Immortality!
Hundreds of years later, when he entered the golden elixir, Master asked him a second question.
"At this moment, your golden elixir path has been completed.
If there are no natural disasters or man-made disasters, you can live for thousands of years from now on. It is not an exaggeration to say that you will live forever. Are you considered an immortal?"
He didn't answer at that time, but later his master commented on him in one sentence in front of his brothers.
"Hanshi lacks talent and character, and the way to become an immortal is only for immortality. Although he can cast a Nascent Soul and even leave his body, he will not be able to take another step forward unless there is a great opportunity."
I didn't believe it at first, but now...
His current cultivation level is beyond the realm of Nascent Soul!
You can live for thirty thousand years, but it is indeed difficult to take another step forward!
On the other hand, look at Yunze.
Although this person's physique and bones have not been measured in detail, he certainly does not have a shocking appearance, but his character is excellent. I don't know how far he can go in the future.
He might even be just a tool to keep the immortal jade for some beings.
Kill after use.
"Heh, your tone is quite good."
The old beggar sneered and continued stuffing food into his mouth: "Since your heart is higher than the sky, then I will tell you how high the sky is today!"
"Senior, please give me some advice." Yunze responded with clasped fists.
"Do you know what is the biggest difference between humans and immortals?"
The old beggar threw a new question at him.
Yunze shook his head slowly.
"It's the spiritual root!"
The old beggar spit out a word that Yunze had never heard before, poured a glass of wine, and continued: "Spiritual roots are divided into four levels and five attributes. The fourth level is heaven, earth, black and yellow, and the five attributes are metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.
.
In addition, there are also supernatural spiritual roots that produce mutations, most of which are above the Xuan level, and have all kinds of strange attributes, such as wind, thunder, electricity, light, darkness and other spiritual roots."
Spiritual roots?
In other words, if you want to become an immortal, you must have spiritual roots? So, could this spiritual root be the legendary fairy fate?
"The higher the spiritual root level and the more attributes, the higher your future achievements will naturally be."
"Of course, if ordinary people have yellow-level spiritual roots, even if they only have a single attribute, they can embark on the path of cultivation, but it will be difficult to achieve much."
"What about me?" Yunze asked hurriedly.
"you ask me?"
The old beggar asked a question and replied: "Then who should I ask?"
"This..." Yunze was speechless for a while.
"Spiritual root qualifications need to be tested by a spiritual ball. How come I carry that tatty thing with me."
"Senior is right." Yunze also echoed.
This was the first time he heard the term spiritual root, and he didn't know what his spiritual root was.
What about Bubu? And what kind of spiritual root does He Laichao, who was killed by him, have?
If I only have the lowest level of Huang-level spiritual roots, how can I continue on the path to immortality in the future?
Forget it, now is not the time to think about these things, it would be better to know more about the world of immortality.
"If you want to know what your spiritual root is, just go to the Immortal Ascension Conference and find out." The old beggar suddenly said.
"Huh? Immortal Ascension Conference?"
"We'll talk about this later. You know the difference between humans and immortals, but do you know the difference between immortals and immortals?"
The old beggar continued to ask questions, and Yunze shook his head again.
He doesn't know the difference between humans and immortals, so how can he know the difference between immortals and immortals?
"In addition to cultivating immortals, there is another path called cultivating demons. The two paths are collectively called cultivation."
As the old beggar spoke, he glanced at a piece of frozen flesh and blood in Yunze's pocket: "Well, that He Laichao you killed earlier was on the path of cultivating demons."
"Demon?" Yunze couldn't help but frown.
When you hear this word, it is completely opposite to immortal.
"You kid, don't think there's anything wrong with the devil."
The old beggar clearly saw Yunze's intention of treating people differently, and then explained: "Whether they are immortals or demons, essentially they only have different cultivation methods.
Do you think those who cultivate immortality don’t have the magic tools or techniques to use the common people as sacrifices? Don’t those who cultivate demons be able to help the common people, punish evil and promote good?
As for what to do after cultivating to become an immortal or a demon, it all depends on personal will, and what does it have to do with the cultivation method?"
This makes sense.
After hearing this, Yunze nodded slowly, indicating that he understood.
The old beggar did not explain any more, but continued: "Whether it is an immortal or a demon, the division of cultivation realms is the same.
First is Qi refining. After the ninth level of Qi refining, there is foundation building. After foundation building, there is elixir condensation. After condensing elixir, there is golden elixir. As for the golden elixir and above...you don't need to know yet.
As the saying goes, it takes ten years to refine qi, a hundred years to build the foundation, and a thousand years to condense the elixir. After you become the foundation, think about what happens next."
"yes."
Yunze answered with his hands raised, and then asked his first question of the night: "Senior, my current state is..."
"First level of Qi refining."
The old beggar casually picked up a chopstick and pointed at Yunze's Dantian: "Now you have a cyclone here. When there are nine cyclones, it will be the ninth level of Qi refining.
When the nine cyclones are unified and condensed into liquid, it is the foundation building. When the liquid fills the Zifu and condenses the virtual elixir, it is the condensed elixir. Then the virtual elixir solidifies and becomes the golden elixir avenue."
Yunze couldn't understand this now, but he still engraved each word in his mind and chewed it over and over again, for fear that he would forget it, and then subconsciously asked: "Senior, are you now..."
"You don't deserve to know."
It’s this sentence again.
The last time I asked the old gentleman for his name, he was also blocked by this sentence.
Yunze had no choice but to lower his head and stop talking, but he heard the old beggar's voice again.
"Mortal cultivation, even with the help of martial arts, can only reach the ninth level of Qi refining at most.
If you want to build a foundation, whether it's underground foundation building or human foundation building, there are only three possible ways."
Yunze raised his head again, his eyes shining: "Please give me some advice, senior!"
"A sect, a fairy mansion, or a devil's cave."
The old beggar took another sip of wine as he spoke, as if he was thinking of some memory: "Let's talk about sects first. Regardless of the demonic path or the immortal path, there are countless sects that will select disciples from the mortal world to join the sect and practice in order to replenish fresh blood.
.
And the most extensive way is the Immortal Ascension Conference I just mentioned.
Let’s talk about the Immortal Mansion or the Demon Cave. The Immortal Mansion governs all the immortal cultivators under the Nine Mysterious Heavens, while the Demon Cave governs all the demon cultivators under the Nine Mysterious Heavens.
The two are in opposition to each other, and they monitor Jiuzhou to maintain the abundant spiritual energy of heaven and earth. If there are people from the immortal and demon realms who interfere in the mortal world, they will be subject to the jurisdiction and sanctions of the two. At the same time, they are the two largest forces among the nine Xuantian."
Yunze nodded thoughtfully: "Then according to senior's opinion, which one should I choose?"
"you choose?"
The old beggar asked back with a hint of disdain, then grabbed a piece of beef with soy sauce and gnawed on it: "Are you? Want to go to the Immortal Mansion and Demon Cave? You'd better go to the Immortal Ascension Conference honestly and see if any sect can choose you!"
"
Yunze was not annoyed, but asked again: "Senior, how should I participate in the Immortal Ascension Conference?"
"After three months, there will be a meeting in the capital of your Tangshan Dynasty, and the sects participating in the selection are..."
As the old beggar spoke, his eyes suddenly changed, as if he had thought of something. He suddenly looked at Yunze, with a smile on his lips, and asked in a strange tone: "Hey, boy."
