Chapter 323
Three days later.
In the place where the gods descended, Li An finally woke up slowly.
His aura had turned the world upside down, and the charm of the immortal way emanated from his body. The whole person was filled with a sense of ethereality, extremely ethereal.
Li An... had become an immortal!
After returning from the state of enlightenment, he immediately examined his entire body, especially his life seed.
There was nothing abnormal about his life seed, and his bones and blood were all the same, but Li An found that there was something slightly different about his skin under his ribs, as if it was about to clump and harden.
He carefully felt it and felt a strange force condensing, as if it was rusty and uncomfortable, but his whole body was covered with the breath of the life seed, like a dam, and this strange breath was blocked. Although it had entered his body, it was difficult to really penetrate into his flesh and blood.
He hesitated for a moment, then activated the life seed to weaken the protection here, and suddenly several black reverse scales grew under his ribs!
This reverse scale was very hard and exuded a strange aura. Li An then urged the aura of life seed to gather here. These reverse scales fell off after being hit by this aura, and the skin recovered without any trace. He hurriedly stopped.
He just wanted to try whether the power of life seed could eliminate this ominous omen, not to really get rid of these things!
After all, he became an immortal in such a way, but he was not tainted with any weirdness. Wouldn't it attract attention?
Generally speaking, from overcoming the tribulation to becoming an immortal, if you don't use higher-level immortal pills, but just use the immortal blood pill step by step, it is basically impossible to achieve this level.
As long as you cross the strange tribulation, more or less, you will be tainted with some ominousness, and your flesh, blood, body, and soul will undergo some unspeakable changes.
Deliberately leaving some gray scales is a necessary disguise.
"What the little fat man said is right, it seems to be a space-time that has passed away..."
When he thought about it carefully, that space-time was really weird. He had withdrawn before his blood and energy were exhausted, but he was still affected.
For ordinary people, the indescribable is indeed an inescapable fate. Sooner or later, the ending is set.
For a moment, he suddenly understood why so many different cultivators wanted to follow the path of orthodox immortals...
This is the stage of becoming an immortal. Who knows what will happen in the future? The great horrors recorded in various classics are enough to scare people.
"What is the origin of the life-nourishing immortal technique? It can actually fight against the indescribable!"
Li An thought that the life-nourishing immortal technique absorbs the power of the present world, which can just allow him to fight against the past... From this perspective, this method is actually the nemesis of weirdness!
Besides, his current life-nourishing immortal art is only the Mahayana perfection. If he has the ability to transcend tribulations and become an immortal, this time, perhaps these strange and ominous things will not even be close to him, and he will be truly untainted by dust.
"If I continue to practice and absorb enough power from the years of the present world, one day, can I rely on the present world to fight against the past of the main film?"
Li An was thinking.
But soon he put aside these distracting thoughts.
His current realm is still too low. Even if he really falls into some fateful trajectory or the eternal situation, he can't see any truth at this moment, even if he exhausts his brains, he will reveal it in the future.
Feeling his own realm, he was quite happy!
In his Dantian alien species, a fairy flower has already bloomed!
On the orthodox road of cultivating immortals, after becoming an immortal, there will be a vision of "three flowers gathering at the top of the head". Every time a flower is cultivated, the cultivation level will increase by one level. The gathering of three flowers at the top of the head means that the immortal is perfect and will become a mysterious immortal!
The immortal flowers of the orthodox immortal cultivation path are extremely magical and colorful. In the ancient and modern classics, they are all described with the most beautiful adjectives. However, the immortal flowers of this different cultivation path are gray, and there seems to be a little silver luster flowing on them, like mercury.
Although the texture is a bit strange, it is a real increase for Li An.
Now that he has officially entered the immortal path, his power has also undergone a qualitative change. The power of the Great Dao has been transformed into strands of immortal power, lingering around the immortal flower.
He counted carefully and found that the immortal flower has nine petals!
This is the "legendary number"!
The immortal fruit also has strong and weak points. The weakest are immortals such as corpse immortals. Generally, the petals are less than three petals, and the immortal power will be very weak. The better ones are three to six petals, and those with more than six petals are called "true immortals"!
True immortals also belong to the immortal level, but they are higher than other immortals, whether in immortal power or future, so the word "true" is used to distinguish them.
The nine-petal flower is also called the extreme number, which means that the immortal power can no longer be increased and has reached the limit. Throughout the ages, those who can reach this step are all legendary figures.
Now, Li An has done it!
Now for Li An, all those below the immortal are ants, and he can kill them with one finger. Ordinary immortals are not good enough in front of him. Even if he is against a two-flower immortal, he dares to fight!
Invincible in the same level!
Moreover, not only is he a perfect immortal fruit, he also has three other "immortal karma" fruits.
First is the immortal master.
There is a shadow of talismans on his immortal flower, which means that he has the power of the rules of creation and the ability to construct immortal talismans.
The second is the immortal array master!
The shadow of the immortal array is a black and white chessboard. He can make immortal arrays. Even if he is in a suitable immortal land, he can use the Tao as an array without external objects.
Finally, the immortal pharmacist!
It was a mark similar to an alchemy furnace. Because of this mark, he naturally possessed a magical power: Samadhi True Fire.
With this fire, he could refine medicine into elixir and improve his cultivation.
It should be noted that once one becomes an immortal, there will be very few people who can continue to possess the skills of cultivating immortals!
It is very difficult for cultivators in the world to become immortals. It is difficult to make progress by cultivating the Great Dao. There are very few people who are willing to divide their attention to cultivate immortals. When becoming an immortal and overcoming the tribulation, if one wants to retain these abilities, one has to go through another test... Therefore, if one is not a person with a firm mind and strong abilities, one will often give up.
There are probably very few people who still retain the abilities of the three major immortals after becoming an immortal like Li An...
It is precisely because there are too few immortal masters that they are very popular in the immortal world. According to what Li An knows, forces like the Gong family and the Yi family cannot afford to support an immortal master or immortal formation master. There are no more than ten people in Zixiao Mountain.
In the huge Zixiao Province, there are more than tens of millions of cultivators, and immortals are as numerous as crucian carp crossing the river, but there are so few people who can control the power of immortals. This is a glimpse.
"Only one ability can be shown to the outside world!"
Li An is very cautious. Although he intends to show his edge in Zixiao Mountain, he needs to stop at a certain point. The appearance of an immortal with three karmas in one body may cause a sensation in the entire Zixiao Mountain, attracting the attention and even covetousness of the top leaders, which will be counterproductive.
He still has to keep a hand.
Even his immortal Dao fruit needs to be disguised. People cannot know that he has proved the extreme perfect Dao fruit. It is enough to show seven petals to the outside world.
Seven petals, already a true immortal, is also a true top talent in Zixiao Mountain, plus the identity of an immortal master, it is enough for Li An to get the attention he wants.
He counted the alien crystals again, and then he was a little surprised. He brought more than 3,000 alien crystals, but now there are only 80 or 90 left!
He couldn't help but sigh that if he wanted to have a higher level of cultivation and Dao fruit, the alien crystals consumed were far more than ordinary people...
Generally speaking, from ordinary tribulation to immortal, about 500 middle-grade alien crystals are enough.
But he doubled it so much!
Fortunately, he brought a lot, otherwise if the alien crystals were not enough in the middle, the consequences would be really unimaginable.
"No, I have to prepare enough for the next breakthrough..."
Because he had several Xuanxian medicines in his hand, he had been relatively calm, but now he couldn't help but feel a little urgent.
"After becoming an immortal, I consumed more alien crystals for cultivation. I'm afraid I need 2,000 low-grade alien crystals every month..."
Two thousand low-grade alien crystals, that is, 20 middle-grade alien crystals. This number is also more than that of ordinary immortals.
Li An did not rush to leave, but stayed for a while. After all, the strange aura here is so strong that it is the source of the entire Zixiao Mountain. If he leaves too early, he will lose a lot.
…
Two months later.
Li An's time is up. He walked out of the formation. A ray of light instantly fell on him. A loud voice sounded in the cave hall: "Seven petals of the immortal flower, true immortal!"
Every disciple who becomes an immortal will undergo this test, so that Zixiao Mountain can find geniuses at the first time.
As soon as this voice sounded, it caused a sensation in the cave hall.
"Which genius is it?"
"It's been a long time since a true immortal appeared. Is there going to be another top genius in the mountain?"
"But is it the disciple of that elder?"
Everyone was talking about it, but most people were in the formation and could not see Li An directly.
"Well, the bone age is more than 3,000, less than 4,000. It's considered a late bloomer, and it's not bad to have accumulated a lot of experience!"
An old man has landed gracefully, with golden light in his eyes. He glanced at Li An and said, "A disciple of Dengyun Palace?"
Li An bowed and said, "Yes."
"In addition to the immortal fruit, you seem to have another immortal fruit?" The old man was very curious.
"Yes, I have practiced talismans hard. I didn't expect that I would bring this method into the immortal way after breaking through the barrier this time. I'm lucky!"
Li An felt that it was most appropriate to show this way.
The status of the immortal master is respected, and the talismans he made are more suitable. It will be more convenient to fight with others in the sect in the future.
"True Immortal, Immortal Master, good!"
The old man couldn't help but give a thumbs up and said, "It seems that my Zixiao Mountain will have another genius. Is your indescribable condition serious?"
Li An did not hide anything and said, "Scales have grown under my ribs, and it hurts a little. I don't know what it is."
"Those who have scales are ruthless."
The old man smiled and said something. Li An had also heard this sentence. It was about some common sayings about indescribable. Those common sayings were sorted out based on the indescribable condition of the immortals. Those who have scales are ruthless.
"You can go back now. We will distribute your identity to various places. Your list will change in the near future, and the monthly allowance will also be adjusted."
Geniuses naturally have the treatment of geniuses. Even if Li An is just a registered disciple, he will be treated preferentially.
Li An bowed and said goodbye immediately.
...
After leaving the place where the gods descended, Li An went directly to the "Treasure Pavilion" in Zixiao Mountain.
In the Treasure Pavilion, you can not only buy resources, but also sell your own things, as long as the Treasure Pavilion is willing to accept them.
Li An took out five Xuanxian medicines at once!
The waiter of the Treasure Pavilion was quite surprised. Li An looked like a registered disciple of Dengyun Palace. Where did he get so many good things?
However, he did not ask more questions. He carefully checked the quality of the immortal medicine and nodded and said, "It is the best. I will buy it at the highest price. One thousand medium-grade crystals per plant!"
The price is slightly lower than the trading market.
However, the reason why Li An came here was that he was eager to use the crystals, so he nodded and agreed.
Then, he looked at other supplies in the Treasure Pavilion.
"An ordinary immortal script pen costs two thousand exotic crystals?"
Li An was a little surprised. This was too expensive. In addition, the immortal ink and immortal light paper used to draw immortal scripts were also very valuable. Just buying a set would cost at least three or four thousand exotic crystals. Moreover, these things were consumables. They would run out after being used for a while, and they had to be replenished continuously later...
The immortal script master really burned exotic crystals.
"Little brother, are you still a fairy master?"
The middle-aged cultivator who was in charge of receiving him was slightly surprised and said, "If you are a fairy master... after you register with the sect, you can receive a fairy pen every year, as well as a fixed amount of fairy ink and fairy paper."
"Of course, you also have to complete some fixed tasks of the sect."
Li An naturally knew about this, but he still said, "Well... buy another set."
"This Jade Dew Fairy Clear Pen, a portion of fairy ink, and a stack of fairy paper."
He knew about the treatment of fairy masters in Zixiao Mountain. Although a fixed amount of fairy pens and so on will be issued every year, there are also many accompanying tasks. With Li An's personality, one pen every year is definitely not enough. After all, he has to prepare more on him as a trump card, so he will have to buy another set sooner or later.
It's better to buy it now so that he can prepare for the mid-term competition in time.
"Okay."
It's impossible not to do business, so the middle-aged man readily took a set for Li An.
Li An's five thousand exotic crystals from selling Xuanxian medicines were reduced by three thousand four hundred in the blink of an eye, leaving only one thousand sixteen.
He felt extremely sad and left immediately.
The middle-aged man looked at his back, envious, and murmured: "Immortal Master... a bright future!"
...
After returning to Dengyun Palace, he first visited the Palace Master Jinbi Immortal.
"Xiao Gu is here, come in and sit down!"
Jinbi Immortal was extremely enthusiastic this time, and took the initiative to get up to greet him, and poured him a cup of spiritual tea, saying: "Xiao Daoyou Gu has achieved a true immortal, which is really a happy event for Dengyun Palace!"
Obviously, the news came quickly, and he already knew it.
He knew very well what the future of a true immortal and immortal master would be in the mountain. At least he would start as a celestial immortal, and he might even impact the golden immortal!
How could he not make friends with such a person?
Li An was not polite. He took the tea and said, "Thank you, Palace Master. If it weren't for your advice, how could Gu Fan be here today? This is a small gift to show my gratitude."
Li An presented a gift, one hundred middle-grade exotic crystals.
No matter where you are, it is always right to make friends with useful people.
Jinbi Immortal was stunned for a moment, then smiled. Gu Fan was so understanding of human nature that he could not help but value him more. He accepted it and said, "In this case, I will take advantage of your happiness."
"If you have any doubts about your practice in the future, just come to me directly. In addition, you can enter and leave Dengyun Palace freely in the future."
Generally, disciples need his permission to enter and leave, which is already a privilege for Li An.
"Thank you, Palace Master."
Li An said, "There is one more thing I want to trouble you with..."
"Just tell me."
"I want to ask you to keep my cultivation and the matter of the Immortal Master secret. After all, the mid-term competition is coming soon!"
Jinbi Immortal heard it and understood it immediately.
Li An is trying to hide something and catch others off guard.
Dengyun Palace is strictly managed, and disciples rarely have the opportunity to go out. Now, the matter about Li An is only reported to the top, so ordinary disciples really don't know.
"Okay."
Jinbi Immortal smiled slightly. This Gu Fan is not only talented and understands human feelings, but also so meticulous. His future... is really immeasurable.
"Thank you, Palace Master——"
Li An bowed and said goodbye immediately.
After returning to his residence, he first went to the residence of the fat man Xu Yuan. After knocking on the door, the fat boy's round head had already poked out. Seeing Li An, he was stunned for a moment and said, "Brother Gu, you... became an immortal?"
"Yes."
Li An walked in without waiting for him to invite him in, and smiled and said, "Why, you don't seem very happy, brother?"
Xu Yuan forced an ugly smile on his face and said, "Of course, of course I'm happy..."
But he was crying out in his heart that something was wrong.
Damn it, it's over!
This is going to be a disaster
Rhythm, this Gu Fan is actually a strange cultivator. He trusted the wrong person and lost the bet. What should he do? As long as Li An leaked out the words he had said before, he would be finished soon.
His heart was pounding.
"Junior brother Xu Yuan, but I also suffered from strangeness and catastrophes when I became an immortal. It was really difficult to overcome... I seem to understand what you said."
Li An sighed and said, "Although I am happy to become an immortal now, I am afraid that if I continue on this path, I will eventually be entangled by strangeness and indescribable. What should I do?"
The little fat man was moved when he heard it, and said, "Brother, what was the situation of the catastrophe you encountered?"
Li An told him one by one, of course he did not mention the names of Gu Hong and others, but only said that they were some important people with deep memories.
"You didn't leave their shadows?"
Xu Yuan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly a little complicated color appeared on his face, and said, "Actually... that was not an illusion."
Li An looked at him.
It's not an illusion...
Is it really real?
"You mean, the dead can really come back to life?!" He said solemnly.
Xu Yuan seemed to be hesitant about whether to say the next words.
"Junior brother Xu, you and I are friends with each other. If you know anything, please tell me. This matter is known to heaven and earth, you know it and I know it. I will never leak a word!"
Li An spoke solemnly.
Xu Yuan glanced at Li An, and still gritted his teeth and said: "In fact, I heard that the reason why the lost time and space appeared in the world and brought weirdness is because, because..."
"There is an unspeakable existence that wants to make all the dead things alive."
He whispered, but his words were still extremely cautious. He seemed to be afraid that these words would trigger some mechanism. While speaking, he looked around and made a defensive posture.
Li An was shocked, weird...
Is it so?
He was in a state of shock. What kind of cultivation was needed to retain a lost time and space, and let time and space intersect and descend into the world?
This kind of existence is probably beyond all immortals in the world, otherwise how could it cause the collapse of the high heaven?
"So, for those who enter the strange world, their own cause and effect will be reflected. The thoughts of those who have passed away in your heart are their last roots. If you devote a little of your life force, you can really keep them in that time and space. If one day you are strong enough, you may really be able to bring them back from the past time and space... Of course, this is just a legend."
Xu Yuan said: "You did miss an opportunity."
Li An was silent after hearing this. Gu Hong's face appeared in his eyes for a while...
That was not an illusion.
It was real.
But he gave up...
"No, I knew it was not an illusion at that time..."
Li An murmured: "I just deceived myself, it was an illusion... In my heart, I still don't want to hurt myself for her..."
He felt a trace of sadness inexplicably...
