Urban Cultivation: The master who has overcome the tribulation is reborn

Upon hearing this, Gu Longzhang raised his head suddenly, with a slightly weary look in his eyes.

There was a hint of disbelief.

"What do you mean by this?"

Jiang Ran had a stern expression, with his right hand hovering in the air.

A drop of blood condensed on the fingertip and lingered for a long time.

"The blood of ten people, blended together, is only this one drop."

"It looks much brighter than one person's blood. What do you think?"

Jiang Ran stretched out his right hand and presented the drop of blood on his fingertips to Gu Longzhang.

It was clearly a normal deep red, no different from what I had seen before.

But Gu Longzhang couldn't help swallowing his saliva, feeling a little nervous for no reason.

"One step back, the world will be brighter. I am the Li family's priest. If you hold back today, I will definitely reward you handsomely in the future!"

Jiang Ran's fingertips trembled with energy, and the sticky blood beads immediately disintegrated and disappeared without a trace in an instant.

"The sun, the moon, the stars go back and forth, and everything in the world can be forgiven."

His words, which seemed to contain some emotion, fell into Gu Longzhang's ears, and immediately a hint of joy appeared on the latter's face.

Jiang Ran seemed unaware of it, and suddenly changed the subject, his voice becoming extremely cold and stern.

"Only when you fight on the path of cultivation, you must not give in, retreat, or forgive."

"Gu Longzhang, do you have any last words?"

Jiang Ran raised his eyes to look at Gu Longzhang's pale face and asked in a cold voice without any room for doubt.

The autumn wind was chilly, but not as cold as Gu Longzhang’s heart which had sunk to the bottom of the valley.

He straightened his body by holding the spear firmly, and asked in an extremely dry tone.

"Gu has a question, I wonder if you can answer it?"

"Oh? Tell me about it." It was still the same plain voice as before, but in Gu Longzhang's ears,

Its meaning and his mood at this moment are different.

After taking a deep breath to calm himself, Gu Longzhang spoke carefully.

"Gu has practiced Kongming Jin for eighty years, and his internal strength is as solid as training."

"The internal energy of ordinary Huajin warriors is three points weaker than that of Kongming Jin. Even compared with the famous Fuhu Jin, it is still on par."

"Why is it that when I encountered your inner strength today, it was as if I encountered the scorching sun, as if the ice and snow were melting? May I ask... what kind of inner strength is this?"

This was the biggest question in Gu Longzhang's mind, and the second was, "And what was the method you used to control the Lone Goose Knife just now?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ran was silent for a while before speaking, and his tone seemed a little melancholy.

"I don't want to answer these irrelevant questions, but on this azure planet, all laws are cut off, so it's not surprising that you would ask this question."

At this moment, Gu Longzhang no longer cared about his self-proclaimed name; all his attention was attracted by the four words "all dharmas are cut off".

He is nearly 100 years old, and he has received the True Fa. He has no doubts about the future path that Master has mentioned in the past.

Today he suddenly heard someone say that all dharmas were cut off, but this person had cultivated his internal strength to perfection. How could he not be surprised?

So Gu Longzhang suddenly raised his head and interrupted Jiang Ran with a trembling voice, "What do you mean by severing all laws?"

"Is there no way out above the level of transformation?"

Jiang Ran looked into his hopeful and fearful eyes and shook his head calmly.

"When we say that all dharmas are cut off, what is cut off is the dharma, not the martial arts."

"I don't know where the end of the martial arts path is, but after the transformation of energy, there is indeed a way."

After hearing this, Gu Longzhang's tense mood finally relaxed.

If Jiang Ran told him that there was no way out after the transformation, he could not imagine how confused he would feel.

"I just heard what you said and I know that the martial arts here have a chance to break through after the energy leaves the body for a hundred feet."

"What your master said about forgetting life and death and returning with the elixir in hand is actually just the achievement of the Xiantian realm."

"The so-called embracing the elixir is the transformation of the innate qi from emptiness to fullness, forming the internal qi center."

When Gu Longzhang heard this, a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in his mind for no reason, and his originally stagnant internal energy became much smoother.

"You mean, having internal energy a hundred feet away from the body is not a necessary condition for achieving Baodan?"

Jiang Ran nodded without hesitation, "Yes, the reason why the internal energy must be a hundred feet away from the body is just a thorny road that can only be found with all the faculties cut off."

"There is actually more than one way to achieve the Xiantian realm."

Jiang Ran did not tell Gu Longzhang that if one's internal energy was a hundred feet away from the body and one could achieve the innate realm, it would be much more powerful than any other tricks.

Forgetting life and death, this is a real hard strength. No matter whether it is strength or mentality, if there is a slight difference,

It is absolutely impossible to return with the elixir and achieve the innate state.

"Is there any other way?" Gu Longzhang's heart skipped a beat, and the fatigue caused by consuming too much internal energy became much lighter.

Jiang Ran glanced at him doubtfully and said indifferently, "All laws have been severed, there is no point in saying more."

"Besides, even if I know the method, why should I tell you?"

Gu Longzhang's face froze, but he could feel Jiang Ran's weak body and the fact that he hadn't changed much from beginning to end.

After pulling the corner of his mouth, he didn't say a word.

"As for why my internal energy is so solid..." Jiang Ran didn't care about his emotional changes at all. He paused slightly after saying this.

Gu Longzhang's expression suddenly became serious.

"Who told you that it was internal energy?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Longzhang, who seemed to be listening carefully, suddenly looked up and asked in a hoarse voice.

"If it's not internal energy, then it must be Gang energy?"

He looked up, his eyes burning, but his words were a little nervous.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Ran shook his head again, frowned and thought for a while, then spoke softly.

"When the energy leaves the body, martial artists call it internal energy."

"Once you reach the Baodan realm that your master once talked about, you can transform your internal energy into Gangjin."

"It's a very complete and methodical training route, oh no... a martial arts route."

"Unfortunately, the internal energy in this master's body is not the internal energy in the conventional sense. If I were to use a more accurate word to describe it, it would be..."

"Nine Tribulations Qi."

Gu Longzhang clenched his hand on the spear suddenly, but he did not intend to attack or hurt anyone.

There was a gleam of extreme excitement in his eyes, and his breathing became a little rapid.

"You just said the word cultivation, right?!"

Gu Longzhang was absolutely certain that Jiang Ran had definitely said this word just now, and he was not hallucinating.

You don't have to think too much to guess that spiritual practice and martial arts are two completely different paths.

If he had simply heard Jiang Ran say this word, he would definitely not be so excited.

But Jiang Ran did show extraordinary skills. The aura that rushed into his body was so strong and fierce.

Only Gu Longzhang knew the answer.

In addition, he was able to control the Lone Goose Knife, dodge the bursts of gunfire, and avoid the shooting of ten snipers.

When we mention the word "cultivation", it does seem a bit suggestive.

At least Gu Longzhang was completely unable to control his emotions and wanted very much to get a definite answer.

"Yes." Jiang Ran had no intention of hiding anything, and nodded without disguising, "It is indeed cultivation."

When Gu Longzhang wanted to say something with his eyes burning and his lips trembling, he was immediately poured with a basin of cold water.

"It's a pity that all the laws are cut off. Whether it's an ordinary person or a martial arts master like you, there is no possibility of practicing."

The bright look in Gu Longzhang's eyes suddenly froze, and after hesitating for a while he spoke tentatively.

"You have been talking about the severance of all dharmas. Then, the method you just used, as well as the so-called Nine Tribulations Qi, are they also martial arts methods?"

Jiang Ran glanced at him with a half-smile, as if he saw through his little thoughts.

"Yes and no."

“Even if I announced the method of cultivating Nine Tribulations Qi to the public, among the billions of people on Azure Star, only a handful of people would be able to cultivate it.”

"No matter how talented a person is, it is impossible to achieve success easily... You have low qualifications and no spirituality. There is no possibility of you getting started in this life!"

"So whether it's the Nine Tribulations Qi or other cultivation methods, they are all meaningless to you."

Gu Longzhang was so embarrassed by his words that he felt a little unwilling in his heart.

In his opinion, Jiang Ran was just lucky and learned the method of cultivation from somewhere.

Only at this age can one easily rival his decades of hard work.

If he could practice this method, with his eighty years of martial arts experience, his study and practice would surely be twice as effective with half the effort, and Jiang Ran would be far behind him.

There is not even the slightest possibility of catching up.

After Jiang Ran finished his sentence, he stared in contemplation for a moment before casually mentioning the Lone Goose Knife.

"It is not difficult to control the Lone Goose Blade, but the difficult part is how to erase the mark of its master."

"You can assume that I made a deal with it."

At this point, most of the questions Gu Longzhang asked earlier have been answered.

Jiang Ran then sighed softly, his expression returned to normal, and his eyes fell indifferently on Gu Longzhang.

"I have already explained most of the questions you asked."

"For this reason, I would like to ask you a question."

Gu Longzhang was awakened by his voice. He barely suppressed the turmoil in his heart and stopped thinking about the word "cultivation".

After coughing twice, he responded in a low voice.

"But it doesn't matter."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Longzhang immediately sensed the murderous intent emanating from Jiang Ran, which was so strong that it made his scalp tingle.

"Gu Longzhang, you can choose which way you want to die?"

The courtyard was already quiet, and most people on the steps did not make any noise, so Jiang Ran's heavier voice could be heard clearly.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and Gu Longzhang felt a chill all over his body.

He had been through hundreds of battles, but none of his failures was as severe as the one he faced now. In his heart, he suddenly felt that he must not become his enemy.

His hands and feet were so stiff that he stammered for a long time without being able to utter a single word.

Jiang Ran looked around, raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile, "Or you can try to attack me again!"

Gu Longzhang's hands, which were tightly gripping the spear, were trembling slightly. He had almost exhausted all his internal energy.

Even though he was standing on the ground with his spear in his hand, he no longer had the courage or ability to raise his spear against the enemy.

"Since you don't dare to do it." Jiang Ran's eyes were calm and his voice became colder, "Then prepare to die."

He walked forward slowly, getting closer and closer to Gu Longzhang.

Even though he just took a step, the latter's brows and eyes were covered with sweat, and he looked nervous and hesitant.

"Master Jiang!"

It was not until Jiang Ran was within three steps of him that Gu Longzhang suddenly shouted loudly, and then suppressed the fear and uneasiness in his heart.

"Gu has a 300-year-old ginseng, which is a rare magical medicine in the world. I originally planned to use it when I was in a state of forgetfulness of life and death."

"But since I am not as skilled as others today, I dare not ask for too much."

"I am willing to give this ginseng to Master Jiang for free, just to exchange it for a way to live!"

Gu Longzhang's tone was somewhat sad. In a place where no one could see him, he clenched his hands tightly on his spear.

He stood there with confidence, waiting for Jiang Ran's answer.

No one knows how useful a 300-year-old ginseng is.

However, Gu Longzhang could be sure that the ginseng he was talking about was indeed a treasure that was rarely seen once in a thousand years.

He had been cared for by the Li family for decades, and among the three hundred year old ginseng, he had only seen this one.

After talking about the terms of exchange, Gu Longzhang's mood obviously changed.

It's heartbreaking, but things have indeed returned to normal.

In his opinion, no matter how deep the hatred is, there is always the possibility of reconciliation, unless there are not enough chips.

Or you might meet a stubborn lunatic who won't listen to any reason.

No matter how you look at it, Jiang Ran, who has such strength and character at this age, does not seem like a person who acts on impulse.

A three-hundred-year-old elixir, after weighing the pros and cons, is enough to make him let go of his hatred temporarily.

But Gu Longzhang never expected that with Jiang Ran's mentality, he would choose the most unreasonable path.

He would rather give up a 300-year-old ginseng that is considered a magical medicine than sentence him to death.

“Three hundred years old.”

Jiang Ran's pupils dilated slightly, he raised his eyebrows, and his tone was obviously surprised.

"This is a rare item. Where did you get it?"

No wonder he was surprised.

In the world of cultivation, there is no shortage of hundred-year-old and thousand-year-old spiritual medicines. With the help of spiritual energy and magic,

It is very common to produce medicinal herbs that can last for decades in one year, but it is quite rare to see elixirs that grow naturally for three hundred years.

If the environment is changed to a place like the Blue Star where spiritual energy is depleted, even if you can survive for dozens or hundreds of years, let alone three hundred years, it would be an incredible fortune.

What's more, mortals have over-exploited and lacked self-control, and now the elixir is almost extinct.

When Gu Longzhang was dying, he actually threw out a 300-year-old ginseng as a temptation, hoping to get him to forgive his sin of disrespect.

I have to say it is really a big deal.

Jiang Ran's cultivation of the Nine Tribulations Mysterious Art also required a large amount of natural treasures to nourish his body.

The role that a 300-year-old ginseng can play cannot be ignored.

This is different from the Daoyun-level elixir he refined. The elixir is to assist in the cultivation of Qi, while the old ginseng is to nourish the physical body.

This enables him to achieve twice the result with half the effort when practicing the Nine Tribulations Mysterious Art.

This point alone makes it incomparable to ordinary elixirs.

It must be said that Gu Longzhang did offer a very favorable condition, so much so that Jiang Ran couldn't help but stand there and ponder.

When the look in Gu Longzhang's eyes became hopeful and lively, Jiang Ran stood there silently thinking for a moment.

Finally, she raised her head under his earnest gaze, smiled gently, and then changed the subject.

He said indifferently: "Although the three hundred year old ginseng certainly makes me interested, your life makes me even more excited."

"At this time when leaves are falling, a great master is buried here. Isn't it more joyful than a three-hundred-year-old magical medicine?"
