Chapter 173: Chapter 173: The Last Great Alchemist in the World
"Is this the extreme of the mortal realm?"
Wang Xuan felt the changes in himself. After reaching this step, he could clearly predict that if he went further, he would enter the extraordinary realm.
The ferryman looked at him, with a complicated expression on his blurred face. Is he still a mortal?
"Your body and spirit have transcended the scope of mortals. The only difference is that the two will resonate and produce an extraordinary transformation."
The ferryman was sure that Wang Xuan was no longer afraid of some people in the extraordinary realm.
Just because of the change of scriptures, his strength was greatly improved. The scriptures on the stone slab were mysterious and unpredictable, which made the ferryman in awe.
"It is worthy of being the inheritance that makes the immortals fight for it!" The ferryman was touched. Among the most ancient immortals, two of them died.
Those two were the best among the immortals, enough to be ranked among the top few.
Wang Xuan gave the ferryman a great gift, and the other party gave him the light rain of the feathered bamboo. This favor was too great.
He asked the ferryman if there was anything he needed to do at this stage, and if he had any unfulfilled wishes in the old land.
"I didn't have any before, but now I really have. That old Zhong... did he copy my back road? Did he really dig up my place?!"
The ferryman was furious when he mentioned this. That old Zhong dared to attack the old site of Liexian. He probably dug up his roots!
Wang Xuan nodded. He originally wanted to find an opportunity to visit old Zhong, and also wanted to know what kind of heaven-defying things he had dug up, and whether he could exchange some rare objects.
"Where is your cave? Old Zhong dug too many. If I don't mention the address and name, let him recall them one by one. It's hard enough."
When the ferryman heard this, he felt awkward and annoyed. This old Zhong dug more than one Liexian ruins, and he didn't know the number, and he had to let the victim report it himself.
"I am from the pre-Qin period, and I am also familiar with the Taoist methods of later generations, and I am quite proficient in them. I have many identities. In the Qin Dynasty, my name was Xu Fu." The ferryman said calmly.
Wang Xuan was dazed, and then his eyes were bright. This is... seeing a historical celebrity? !
The great alchemist - Xu Fu, this person is too famous in history.
He is also the last great alchemist in the pre-Qin era. Since him, it has been the era of Taoism's glory.
"You went out to sea to pick immortality for the Qin Emperor, but you rowed into this blue sea, no, into this lake?" Wang Xuan showed a strange look, and had too many questions to ask him.
This is a person who lived more than two thousand years ago, a living history, mastering the methods of the pre-Qin alchemists, and also proficient in the unique skills of Taoism. He is a treasure old man.
The ferryman had a dark face and didn't want to deal with so many of his questions. He said, "I don't care about anything else. If he digs up my place of residence, I only ask him to keep my small leg bone well!"
As for sending it to the Land of the Dead, he felt that there was no such opportunity, because it would not be long before this Land of the Dead would move, and he didn't know which planet of life it would land on.
If he really went to the end of deep space, he thought he would never have the chance to meet the young man in front of him again.
"The bones left after the body was shattered by thunder after ascending to heaven? What is the significance of such bones to you?!" Wang Xuan always wanted to know the secret.
The ferryman ignored him and said, "I will return the mark to you too!"
He added and advised, "The cross-domain expedition to the Land of the Dead is a great opportunity, you must not miss it."
"Then I will use this opportunity to thank the senior." Wang Xuan looked like he was reluctant to give it up.
"Return it to you!" The ferryman stared, but he tried several times, and the mark could not leave his body and could not be shaken off.
This made his face change color. He couldn't solve this problem in a short time.
Wang Xuan didn't dare to laugh. He stared at the sun goldfish hook on the bamboo boat and asked in a low voice: "Senior, can this hook be straightened?"
The ferryman's face was uncertain. He was thinking about how to solve the mark. Finally, he said: "You go, try to come in again in the near future, I will help you refine a magic spear!"
"Or I will take it out myself. Modern metallurgical technology is very advanced. I will find someone to refine it, so I won't bother you." Wang Xuan felt that this old man was holding back a big move, so it would be better not to see him in the short term.
The ferryman glanced at him and said: "I originally wanted to teach you how to practice the mysterious scriptures recorded on the stone slab..."
"Senior, please teach me!" Wang Xuan cooperated very well. Before he finished speaking, he immediately changed his words and said that he would come to the dead land to break through after picking the demon fruit in the near future.
In fact, he really wanted to go to the depths of the secret land after transcending.
Although he is not afraid of some extraordinary people now, there must be extremely powerful people in the depths of the secret place, and he naturally does not want to be suppressed by others.
If they meet again, Lao Chen will be shocked!
"Do you think the change of the scripture went smoothly this time?" asked the ferryman.
"It was very dangerous. Thanks to the help of the senior." Wang Xuan thanked again at the right time.
"In fact, you are not good enough. Do you know how many people want to practice this scripture but can't? They often hurt their organs and ruin their spirits."
The ferryman looked at him and felt a little touched. This young man was a little lucky, but also very powerful.
"You were able to practice it because you formed a spiritual realm in the mortal stage, and your perception of the physical body reached an extremely subtle level, which can be adjusted at any time. Of course, the most important thing is that you laid the most solid foundation in advance. You practiced the Golden Body Technique and the root method of the pre-Qin alchemists to a high level, which is almost the limit that mortals can achieve."
Wang Xuan heard this and said: "To further explain, the horror of this scripture, at the limit level of mortals, has raised my strength by a lot and increased the upper limit of the mortal realm."
"This is not the point. What I want to say is a feasible way to practice this mysterious scripture."
Wang Xuan was very serious and listened carefully.
"The Golden Body Technique supports your physical body, and Zhang Daoling's physical technique exercises your five internal organs. This is the key to your survival and success. Imagine, if you didn't practice these two methods, could you successfully change the scripture this time?"
Wang Xuan agreed with his statement, it was true.
"After entering the extraordinary level, you can still practice the second true form map in this way. I guess that the second scripture should involve the spirit in addition to the physical body. Because the extraordinary field is closely related to the improvement of the spiritual level."
The ferryman suggested that he could practice some spiritual secret books in advance and train the extreme physical body at the same time, which is easier than practicing the second true form map directly.
Wang Xuan thought and said, "I thought that with this scripture, I didn't need other methods. Now it seems that various scriptures are still needed to assist."
For a moment, he thought of Lao Zhong's study again.
"How do the golden bamboo slips of the pre-Qin period compare to the scriptures on the stone slab?" Wang Xuan asked.
"I personally think that it will not be inferior to the stone slab scriptures." The ferryman actually said such a thing.
Wang Xuan was shocked and did not expect him to have such a comment.
"Two of the strongest people among the immortals practiced the scriptures recorded on the golden bamboo slips. Moreover, both of them had the opportunity to obtain the stone tablet scriptures, but they ignored it and did not fight for it."
"There are four golden bamboo slips in total. If you get one, you can directly enter the top immortal realm. There is a legend that the four golden bamboo slips together are actually a complete scripture, known as the first strange book of the pre-Qin period and the strongest secret book of cultivation. But unfortunately, no one has ever collected them all."
After hearing this, Wang Xuan felt numb by the news.
The ferryman glanced at him and said, "I want to remind you not to be too superstitious about a scripture. The times are developing. Even the strongest scripture may have omissions and limitations. You should learn from its strengths and make up for its weaknesses."
"You make sense!" Wang Xuan nodded seriously.
The ferryman said, "In addition to the golden bamboo slips of the alchemists, the Taoist jade books are also terrifying. These are not inferior to the mysterious scriptures recorded on the stone tablets."
Wang Xuan took a deep breath and remembered it silently.
In fact, he had some feelings when he converted the scriptures not long ago.
The scriptures on the stone slab include the body secret power that can be developed by the Golden Body Technique and the Root Method. It covers a wider and more detailed area.
At that time, he was wondering whether he could learn from other top secret chapters to expand new potential areas and tap more secret power.
Each part of the human body has different secret power. Now if he looks inside, the inside is colorful and it will be very terrifying if all are mobilized.
The ferryman broke the window paper for him, which made him suddenly enlightened.
Now he has majored in the strongest scripture, and if he has the opportunity to study the Golden Book and the Jade Book, he will naturally cherish the opportunity and compare and verify it seriously.
The ferryman added: "Buddhism's exploration of the spiritual realm should not be underestimated. They opened up the Pure Land of Bliss, which is actually a real spiritual level. Behind the Pure Land of Bliss, there is a deeper spiritual realm. The secret power of the spiritual world is also colorful. Wherever you dig, you will become stronger in some aspects by obtaining the corresponding spiritual secret power."
Wang Xuan was moved. The spirit is actually divided into multiple levels, like one spiritual world after another. Are those colorful secret powers hidden in the depths of the subconscious?
The words of the ferryman made him know the field he had heard of before.
"The exploration of the spiritual level by the alchemists and Taoists is naturally amazing. The inner scene is such a product. In fact, in the deepest part of the inner scene, there are more amazing levels. Even the ascension to the immortal world refers to and compares these..."
These words were like thunder, shaking Wang Xuan's ears. It was the first time someone mentioned some of the secrets of the ascension to the immortal world to him.
He had too many questions to ask, but the ferryman talked to himself and ignored him.
"This era is really a time of countless opportunities for mortals like you! The scriptures that were invisible in the past have been excavated by you. The secret books that should have been hidden at the end of the void are now in the mortal world and collected by people like Lao Zhong on their bookshelves. Opportunities are rare, and there are treasures everywhere. You should seize them, otherwise you will be ashamed of being born in this era!"
Wang Xuan nodded solemnly after hearing this.
Until the end, the scene was silent and no one spoke.
Wang Xuan realized that all kinds of scriptures can be explored, and the essence is to explore the various secret powers hidden in the physical body and different spiritual levels. It is a colorful world.
Although he only got a glimpse of the truth of the foggy world of cultivation today, he can already plan his future path from a higher level. The words of the ferryman have a huge impact on him.
After a long time, Wang Xuan asked, "When I changed the scripture, new secret power appeared. I saw the fairy mountain in my body, the medicinal garden with fairy mist, and the Yaochi Peach Garden. Could this be the manifestation of a certain world on the spiritual level?"
The ferryman nodded and said, "You can see those things in the mortal realm. It is indeed not simple."
He told Wang Xuan not to crush them deliberately next time he saw them. That was the manifestation of the secret power on the spiritual level. It was about to resonate with the physical body and was the manifestation of the extraordinary.
Wang Xuan was a little absent-minded and said, "Could it be that some myths and legends really only happened in the spiritual world? For example, the Yaochi banquet for the immortals and the Peach Festival."
The ferryman was silent and did not respond.
...
Wang Xuan left the dead in a trance, absent-minded, thinking about various problems. Today, his understanding of practice is different from before.
In the distance, Xiong Kun and his two companions appeared again. He didn't want to wait for the notification from the black-horned beast, fearing that he would miss the strange fog in the inner treasure area, so he came to the outer area again.
"I think the twelve keys should be collected soon. It's time to wait and refine their blood and marrow for my use."
At the same time, they were speculating on the fate of the two people and the horse. They thought they should be wiped out by the black-horned beast, but it was a pity for the dagger.
"There will be no accidents. It's just a mortal. It's impossible to fight against the extraordinary." They are sure that the mortal realm can never challenge the extraordinary level.
