Cultivating Immortality Begins with Rejuvenation

"Ugh, I've told you already, you're so old, you can directly try absorbing spiritual energy to refine it, no need to sense it anymore... Sensing is for children whose spiritual roots haven't fully developed to nourish their spiritual roots. You..."

Faced with Li Ji'an's very sincere request, Chen Qingling was quite impatient.

Until he saw the secret garlic fried chicken that Li Ji'an handed over...

"Those are all small matters, I'll pass it on to you immediately after I finish eating."

After a year of getting along, Li Ji'an became more familiar with the Chen Zhaohu brothers.

Chen Zhaohu himself didn't spend resources on cultivation in order to provide cultivation resources for his younger brother, Chen Qingling.

When Chen Qingling was eight years old, his spiritual test showed five strands of fire-type spiritual charm, giving him hope of developing a medium-grade spiritual root.

Therefore, over the years, Chen Zhaohu rented a dojo for him in the United Market, and except for occasionally returning to accompany Chen Zhaohu when he was bored, he spent most of his time in the market "sensing energy."

After the spiritual test half a year ago confirmed that he had little room for growth, he began his true cultivation.

Unfortunately, he sensed nine strands of fire spiritual energy, just a little short of reaching the level of a medium-grade spiritual root.

He cultivated the fire-type technique "Flame Spirit Art" that Chen Zhaohu bought for him, and stepped into the first level of Qi training last month, making him a true Qi training cultivator.

"Old Li, you're already thirty, what energy are you still sensing? After fifteen years old, you don't need to sense energy anymore. The spiritual root has already been shaped, it's useless even if you sense a flower.

If you're really not giving up, then go buy a cultivation technique and start practicing. Stop wasting time." Another first-level elementary body cultivator in the team said jokingly while drinking wine.

"What Qi are you cultivating? Brother Li's talent is outstanding, I'm afraid he's about to surpass Brother Hu. Body refinement is enough, at least you don't have to spend so much like us. It's hard to save some spirit stones, and we can't even bear to go to the Celestial Fragrance Tower. Living is so boring!" Another Qi training second-level teammate complained.

In Chen Zhaohu's hunting team, besides Chen Zhaohu, Li Ji'an, and two elementary body cultivators, the remaining Qi training cultivators were all temporary.

And most of these temporary cultivators are scattered cultivators with no support. In order to stay in the market for cultivation, they have to find ways to earn spirit stones.

Li Ji'an smiled and shook his head: "I'm late, but I can teach the next generation in the future. If I practice it myself, I'll have a clear understanding, so that when my children and grandchildren ask for advice, I won't be completely ignorant."

That's indeed what he thought.

The difference is that he is accumulating energy-sensing experience for his next life.

"Hey, I'm telling you, you haven't lived well in your own generation, and you're always thinking about making the next generation live well... Aren't you tired?

If Tiger wasn't for this little white-eyed wolf, with his body refining strength, he could marry a house full of wives, and maybe even find one with good spiritual roots, but unfortunately..."

Chen Qingling sucked on his finger while rolling his eyes at the Qi training third-level cultivator who called him a white-eyed wolf.

But he didn't dare to talk back.

He didn't dare because after stepping into Qi training, he understood the difficulty of Qi training. The third level of Qi training is already a senior expert in his eyes, no longer like a newborn calf not afraid of tigers.

That night, Li Ji'an finally got the energy-sensing technique from Chen Qingling for free, saving another three spirit stones.

The main reason for staring at Chen Qingling to freeload was that his energy-sensing method was also a superior method that his brother spent spirit stones to buy for him, much better than those scattered cultivators in the team who had no support.

"Heaven has five elements, mutually restraining and generating each other. People have five elements, complementing each other. Heaven and man sense each other, storing energy in the body..."

After Chen Qingling explained it impatiently, Li Ji'an returned to his room and pondered it alone.

"This is not difficult..."

With the superposition of five lifetimes of souls, this entry-level method can be understood with a little thought.

After only the fifth operation, he sensed a weak resonance between the air and his dantian.

"This is spiritual energy... It's really thin!"

No wonder Chen Qingling said that sensing energy is useless in this spiritual barren land, because it can't be sensed at all.

Li Ji'an tried many times and confirmed that he had understood the energy-sensing method.

The reason why he could sense the resonance between the spiritual energy and his dantian in such a spiritually barren place was naturally thanks to the blessing of five lifetimes of souls.

During this year, he also figured out the root cause of why his spirit became stronger, his thinking became sharper, and his comprehension became higher every time he returned to his youth.

It's the soul!

In this cultivation world, Qi training cultivators absorb spiritual energy, refine mana, and transform the dantian.

Body cultivators are similar to the martial arts of the Immortal Dynasty. In the early stage, they strengthen their muscles and bones, and refine their qi and blood, without the need for external objects. However, in the middle and late stages, they need spiritual objects corresponding to the techniques to continuously temper the physical body and improve its limits.

Regardless of which type, the soul is essential.

Qi training cultivators need the soul to build the foundation, and many of the hundreds of arts of immortal cultivation also need the soul. The soul is condensed into spiritual consciousness, and when the spiritual consciousness is strong enough, it gathers into divine consciousness, then the primordial spirit, and finally the divine thought... Whether it is cultivation and fighting, or alchemy and drawing talismans, it is indispensable.

Body cultivators also need the soul, especially in the middle and late stages. The stronger the soul, the stronger the impact that can be endured during body tempering. Otherwise, if the physical body can withstand it, but the soul is too weak to withstand it, it is easy to damage the soul.

Moreover, the soul has a greater impact on the sensitivity of body cultivators.

As for the rare soul cultivators, who specialize in the soul, and exist with the soul, there is no need to say more.

Li Ji'an has a great advantage in this regard!

Compared to several early-stage Qi training cultivators, their initial spiritual consciousness is obviously weaker than his own.

"Find a method to condense spiritual consciousness as soon as possible... Condensing spiritual consciousness will greatly improve the five senses."

"It's just a pity that soul cultivation techniques are too rare, otherwise the path of soul cultivation should be more suitable for me in this life."

He stopped his practice and got up, just in time to see the morning glow filling the sky.

A new day has begun.

It also shows that the one-year deadline between him and Chen Zhaohu has arrived.

During this year, Chen Zhaohu really treated him as a mascot, saying that he just needed to follow the team.

And as Chen Zhaohu said, during this year, their team did not suffer any casualties, and the harvest was better than before.

This further deepened Chen Zhaohu's belief that Li Ji'an was a person with great fortune.

What he didn't know was that these were all just Li Ji'an using his powerful soul to sense possible dangers in advance and secretly guide them to avoid them.

As for the harvest, Li Ji'an also wanted to save more spirit stones.

Cultivation is not easy, wealth, companions, techniques, and land!

He took out the twenty-four spirit stones and seventy-three taels of spirit sand left over from this year's expenses from the hidden compartment and put them in his arms.

He also put away the stack of letters at the bottom.

There were a total of eight letters. One was sent by Zhang Tiezhu three months ago, saying that he successfully joined the reclamation team as soon as he left, and after nearly a year of hard work, he received the attention of the Yan family's steward, received awards, and saw the hope of becoming an immortal.

One was sent by Zhu Linxian half a year ago, saying that he was leaving the United Market to find opportunities elsewhere, and said nothing else.

The remaining six letters were from Zhao Shuyao.

Almost every two months, from leaving the gathering place last year, to the market, to separating from Dong Jiangling and Zhu Linxian, to failing to apply for the Spirit Pill Pavilion... everything in detail.

In the first half of the year, most of them were persuasion, describing the hope and future of the immortal cultivation market, hoping to arouse Li Ji'an's fighting spirit.

However, in the second half of the year, especially in the letter last month, she no longer persuaded Li Ji'an to cultivate immortality, and the words were full of fatigue.

Dong Jiangling disappeared without a trace.

"I hope these spirit stones can allow me to gain a foothold in the market!" Li Ji'an went to say goodbye to Chen Zhaohu.

It was time to truly enter the world of cultivation.
