Cultivation towards immortality, starting from being a fisherman

Chapter 58: Chapter 58: Examination (Please Follow)

After learning that this place was the Immortal Cultivation World,

Su Ping had always harbored a great ambition in his heart… He wanted to live a carefree and everlasting life, and if possible, to transcend the world like a deity and become an eternal and inviolable sanctity.

But before that, he still needed to methodically go through Qi Cultivation, Foundation Establishment, forming the Golden Core, then transforming into a Nascent Soul, entering into Divinity Transformation, and finally becoming an Immortal and seeking longevity in both realms.

The arrival of the fishing game allowed Su Ping to see the possibility of achieving his ambitious goal.

After exploring the Golden Finger for a while, Su Ping understood that the resources provided by the current fishing game,

indeed qualified him to stand on the same platform as other geniuses.

However, to seek longevity, relying solely on the fishing game and the technological products from his homeland was clearly not enough.

Purification Spirit Medicine simply gave him numerous opportunities to retry after failed breakthroughs.

Whether it was Foundation Establishment or subsequent Golden Core formation, crucial Cultivation Methods were indispensable.

Additionally, after advancing in cultivation, Divine Skills and spells, as well as the crafting of Lifebound Magical Artifacts related to future Golden Core achievements, could not be achieved without the help of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Items and the blessing of various secret techniques.

All of these had to be acquired from the Immortal Cultivation World.

In the eyes of other Cultivators, to take this step, one must strive, snatch, and contest with fate!

They did this to break through and extend their lifespan before their time was up.

In comparison, Su Ping had the safety net of the fishing game, allowing him to obtain a large amount of resources in advance to prepare for the future.

With such an advantage, failing to make use of it would not befit an ambitious Cultivator.

When it’s possible to gain benefits with extremely low or even no risk, one should still seize them!

After all!

The current fishing game contains no items for extending lifespan.

Su Ping desires longevity, but right now… he is not yet immortal!

Su Ping doesn’t actually know how beneficial the Merit List is, but that doesn’t stop him from taking precautions.

At least, from the current information available, the Great Golden Light Temple, a Righteous Path sect no less formidable than Chi Yuan Immortal Sect, wouldn’t present a list to the entire Immortal Cultivation World without some excellent items to justify this build-up, would it?

At the Magic Meeting outside Golden Sparrow City, the Monk, who had achieved Qi Cultivation Perfection, chanted scriptures repeatedly for an hour before uttering “Amitabha” and declining the invites from representatives of various Immortal Cultivation Families. He then hurriedly took to the clouds and left the venue.

There was no choice; with so many events, wasting time would cause him to be late for the next one.

After the Monk left, the standard of the substituting monks dropped significantly, but the devoted followers continued to listen as if entranced.

Most of the other attendees, many of whom could hardly be considered even casual believers, were compelled to join by their patrons to make up numbers.

However, the repetitive chanting planted a psychological suggestion, which instinctively repelled Evil Spirits, provided one was not prejudiced against the Buddhist Sect because of previous deceptions.

Following the monks’ chanting, the belief in eradicating Evil Spirits would emerge involuntarily and would then be absorbed by the Formation and infused into the Magic Artifacts.

Su Ping also had the chance to see those Sealing Magic Artifacts used against Evil Spirits.

The designs differed depending on the Immortal Sect, but all were exquisite and small.

The smallest were the size of an adult’s tooth, and the largest were only about the size of a common person’s little finger.

Once the Evil Qi is removed from an Evil Spirit, not much is left but particles that are difficult to see with the naked eye.

Constructing a Sealing Magic Artifact too large would be a waste of materials.

Moreover, no uses for these Evil Spirit Crystal particles have been discovered so far.

Otherwise, they would not openly release these Sealing Magic Artifacts after realizing that these items could provoke an Evil Qi Tide.

The likelihood of an Evil Cultivator seizing and destroying a Sealing Magic Artifact is, in fact, extremely rare.

These crystal particles are useless to Cultivators and just as pointless for Evil Cultivators.

Evil Spirits have never been united.

Their relationship is much like that of heretics to one another, with even greater animosity than heretics have.

Evil Cultivators, influenced by the subconscious of Evil Spirits, would be doing well to restrain themselves from internal strife, let alone free their rivals.

As for the grand scheme of the conflict between the Evil Demon Realm and the Immortal Cultivation World… for these Evil Cultivators, that is far too remote.

Not to mention that every Sealing Magic Artifact comes from the hands of a Golden Core Great Power, although they are mass-produced.

Yet it’s not something that can be destroyed by those below the Foundation Establishment level.

And for those above Foundation Establishment level, if it leads to exposing human traitors, it would actually be a good thing for the Immortal Cultivation World.

After the Magic Meeting concluded, Su Ping returned to Frost Moon Villa, transcribing verbatim the scriptures of the Great Monk and the routine with which the monks guided everyone in prayer.

He then read over them several times and, the more he read, the more he discovered that much of the knowledge touched upon the core aspects of psychology.

Many of these monks share a lot with his colleagues from his hometown, maybe not exactly the same, but very similar.

In some sense, many priests, Taoists, and monks are also excellent psychological counselors.

In fact, they might even do a better job, and perform more professionally, when facing devout followers.

“Very valuable for reference, when the opportunity arises, I can modify it to be more down-to-earth and present the full text for recitation to the high monks in my hometown.”

“As long as the sincerity is sufficient, adding an exorcism chapter to the monks’ merit-earning and calamity-averting Magic Meetings should be reasonable!”

“As for the quality of the followers, there are many superficial believers in my hometown, but the quality in the Immortal Cultivation World is not much better. Coupled with those who often become particularly devout after encountering major disasters, taken as a core group, the quality can be made up in quantity. There should be no big problem in theory!”

Su Ping only devised a preliminary plan in his mind.

It wasn’t that he was ready to experiment right away and then eradicate Evil Spirits on a large scale.

In Su Ping’s view, this should be a long-term and steady business.

The best outcome would naturally be to have it serve as a powerful supplement for the fishing game, allowing him to successfully establish his foundation and acquire cultivation techniques, spiritual treasures, and the like, as well as to learn divine skills suitable for him.

……

Water Blue Star, East King Temple.

Little Taoist Zhouxuan drank bitter tea while looking at the Immortal Cultivation Techniques books provided by Su Ping.

For this, he had cancelled several matchmaking appointments arranged by his parents, which caused great displeasure to his mother.

Had it not been for his master’s great appreciation of the insights into cultivation he demonstrated recently, who stepped in to appease his parents,

Zhouxuan’s family might have literally come here to disrupt his ascetic practice.

Zhouxuan felt the urgency and devoted himself even more to studying.

With the supply of mana from Spirit Stones, Zhouxuan had finished reading the books Su Ping had given him in recent times, constantly revisiting their chapters, and simulating them in his mind.

Suddenly, Zhouxuan became excited.

It was because he felt the summoning call from Yunlai Immortal Realm in his mind.

Zhouxuan quickly collected his books and then closed his eyes to respond.

The next moment, the familiar feeling swept over him.

Feeling the even richer concentration of Spiritual Energy than last time, Zhouxuan almost let out a comfortable cry.

Afterward, when Zhouxuan opened his eyes, he saw himself in the extremely quaint backyard of the manor, but the familiar figure of the Taoist was not in sight.

Instead, it was the White Crane Child who had received him last time, floating mid-air and curiously sizing him up.

Zhouxuan hastily bowed to the White Crane Child.

As someone who had just entered Qi Cultivation, he could feel the robust vitality of this Immortal Child was like mountains and seas, profound and immeasurable!

“Little Taoist, the Immortal Master asked me to convey a question to you, have you been reading your books these past few days?”

“Great Immortal Master, I dare not speak carelessly. I have been diligently reading the books and have gone through all the skills…”

“However, whether I can put them into practice is still unknown.”

Zhouxuan hurriedly gave an honest answer.

He then saw the White Crane Child in front of him nod slightly upon hearing his words, extending a fair little hand to point in a direction and saying:

“If that’s the case, then let’s have an on-spot trial to see how talented you are.”

Zhouxuan followed the direction that the White Crane Child was pointing.

Immediately, he noticed that beside the front courtyard’s small bridges and flowing water, there appeared to be two plots of land, a small workshop, and an Alchemy Furnace.

On the side, there were also some materials and tools piled up, clearly, he was about to be tested on the spot!
