Chapter 447: Source of Immortal Material, Struggle between Immortal Court and Human World
After returning to Tie Mansion, Tie Tang saw everyone surrounding Shen Siying, and was amazed.
"Does this make you a fairy?"
"It doesn't look any different, but compared to before... I always feel it has a strange charm."
"Indeed, she obviously doesn't have any advanced cultivation, but she looks like an otherworldly fairy."
Tie Tang took a closer look.
Shen Siying's appearance has not changed at all. Her originally white and flawless skin is now like gelatin, and her whole person exudes an ethereal aura.
Especially between her purple eyebrows, strands of golden light shone, as if weaving some mysterious pattern, making Shen Siying look even more unworldly.
"Huh? Is this the immortal material that the immortal god itself was born from?"
With Tie Tang's eyesight, it was not difficult to see that the golden light entrenched in her Zifu eyebrows was the immortal substance equivalent to longevity.
To produce immortal matter, Tie Tang only knows one path so far.
Immortal God!
Only immortals can give birth to varying amounts of immortal matter every hundred years.
And most of the immortals...
In particular, a group of miscellaneous immortals can only produce one ray of immortal matter every hundred years, which is equivalent to a hundred years of life, which is just enough to maintain their own survival.
In other words.
Like Shen Siying, it is impossible for an immortal god to become an immortal by a way outside the outside world and give birth to more immortal matter than what he needs.
Tie Tang paused and pondered: "Then why does the Immortal Court recruit mortals to become immortals? That doesn't seem to be of any benefit to them.
And what An Tae-hyun said about the handymen...
It would be too sad to become an immortal just to become a slave of other immortal gods."
In a flash of lightning, Tie Tang suddenly figured out the key.
"If we replace the Miscellaneous Immortal Shou Yuan with the Life Pill... wouldn't we be able to get the same immortal substance?"
He expressed his doubts in public and was affirmed by Fang Pengyi.
"Yes, this is indeed a feasible method, and it is also one of the main reasons why Immortal Court is despised by me in the human world."
Fang Pengyi sighed, picked up the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp, looking around at everyone with a complicated expression.
Most people here, including Tie Tang, don’t know the inside story of Xianting.
But some people know.
For example, people with extraordinary backgrounds such as Fang Lexian, Feng Bingyao, Li Geng, Tian Wen, etc.
Tie Tang waved his hand, motioning for everyone to sit down, and asked Fang Pengyi to continue talking in detail.
"If you want to understand Xianting's approach, you need to first understand the... most real monetary basis in the world today!"
Fang Pengyi glanced around and said slowly: "Nowadays, the only currencies that are widely circulated in the world and in the official sense are gold, silver, copper coins and Dashang Bao banknotes guaranteed by the imperial court and major commercial banks.
But we all know that among the witches and wizards, the real currency in circulation is not gold and silver, but the Life Pill, which is what we usually call the Shouyuan Pill.
This is a currency that the imperial court explicitly prohibits from circulation!
Since it is prohibited by the imperial court, why do all witches and wizards still mainly trade life elixirs?
Because gold and silver are of no use to us!
The Life Pill is different. It is the destiny of heaven and life. It is useful to every successful person in the witchcraft and no one will have too much."
When Fang Pengyi said this, seeing Ji Yingzhe hesitate to speak, he immediately asked: "What's wrong with you?"
Ji Yingzhe stood up: "Master, where did things like Shou Yuan Dan... come from? Can it only be born by Wu Jin himself?"
"At present... within the scope of my knowledge, this is indeed the only way."
Fang Pengyi nodded and continued: "Although the Shouyuan Pill is called the Life Pill, it is not a kind of elixir and cannot be made by relying on plants, wood, gold and stone.
It actually comes from you and me, from every witch and wizard in the world.
Of course.
There are also some evil people who may take risks for the sake of life elixir and capture monks in the secret realm of witchcraft to extract their life span.
After all, this is a minority.
Ninety-nine percent of the life elixir... comes from all the creatures below the fairy and mystical realm in the world.
For some reason, they chose to condense their excess longevity into life elixirs and exchange them for other treasures of heaven and earth, magical weapons and other necessary things.
Only by understanding the origin of the Life Pill can we know the source of the immortal substance.
Unlike the monks in the magical realm, after entering the immortal realm, you can no longer withdraw your longevity at will.
They themselves will give birth to a ray of immortal matter every hundred years. The stronger their strength and the higher their qualifications, the more immortal matter they can create.
These immortal substances are not actually the longevity of immortal gods, but immortal gods are extremely dependent on immortal substances.
Every hundred years, a ray of immortal matter must be absorbed to maintain the immortal body, and when one is seriously injured or disabled, additional immortal matter is also needed.
Even some immortal magic and magical powers require the use of immortal matter to increase their power.
It can be said that the immortal matter of every immortal god is never enough.
Because the immortal matter that most immortals and gods create every hundred years cannot even meet their own needs, let alone trade it.
And this time.
I don’t know exactly when someone began to think of the method of becoming an immortal based on the Way from Outside.
Immortal Court was thus established.
Because the Fairy Court's extremely special environment and avenues are very suitable for overlords above immortal gods to live in, the area itself has attracted many of the most powerful people in the world.
Later, someone discovered that by using some outer avenues, some special means, and some twisted rules, creatures with originally weak or even no cultivation levels could be drawn to the Immortal Courtyard.
The most amazing thing is...
After these creatures arrive at the Immortal Courtyard, they can become ‘immortals’ through some simple means.
They are what we often call miscellaneous immortals!
Miscellaneous immortals do not have the strength to match the mysterious realm of immortals, but they have a lifespan as long as immortals.
At this point, it’s actually nothing. It’s even a good thing for most living beings in the world.
Because becoming a Taoist and becoming an immortal is too difficult, ninety-nine percent of the creatures in the world cannot take this step.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
But the real source of the trouble...
These miscellaneous immortals, like real immortals, will give birth to a wisp of immortal matter every hundred years.
So.
The Immortal Court began to recruit creatures from the lower world on a large scale, transforming them all into miscellaneous immortals, and collecting the immortal matter born from them every hundred years to meet its own needs.
And these miscellaneous immortals can only extend their lifespan through the Shouyuan Pill. They are not considered free and easy immortals in the Immortal Court. They are just handymen and slaves, with extremely low status.
In order to attract more living beings, the Immortal Court also famously called it "Ascension to Immortality". There was a time when the idea of ascension was all the rage in the human world.
When the truth was completely revealed, it naturally attracted opposition from the overlords of the human world, and the conflict between the Immortal Court and the human world began and continues to this day."
After everyone heard this, they all remained silent for a long time, thinking that it would be better not to become an immortal like a slave.
Tie Tang was a little puzzled: "Senior, don't these miscellaneous immortals need immortality? They only rely on Shou Yuan Dan, and they shouldn't be able to meet their needs once in a hundred years, right?"
Fang Pengyi said before that immortals and gods are very dependent on the immortal substance, to the point where they must absorb it every hundred years.
Although miscellaneous immortals do not have the strength of immortal gods, they are essentially the same as real immortal gods. If immortality is missing for a long time, miscellaneous immortals may not be able to survive.
Fang Pengyi's eyes brightened and he looked up at the sky: "Any model will reach a stable point after a long period of exploration.
The same is true for Xianting!
They have long found a way to balance it. They will not extract all the undead matter, but will leave a small part behind.
Coupled with the life span supplemented by the Life Pill, each miscellaneous immortal can live for tens of thousands of years.
Those miscellaneous immortals are like us and other mortal livestock and are kept in captivity until their immortal bodies completely collapse and are no longer able to produce immortal matter. Then they are abandoned, killed, and die of old age."
"Could it be that the imperial court would ban 'ascension'? It turns out there is such a reason..." Tie Tang sighed.
At this time, Tian Wen interrupted with an unyielding voice: "The most irritating thing is that even if they know this and know that the truth is that they are slaves to the upper world, there are still many living beings who have no hesitation in embarking on this road to becoming immortals. p>
In their view, as long as they can become immortals, they will eventually have a chance to rise."
"Even the immortal matter has been extracted. They have lost their survival instinct, so what chance do they have?" Ji Yingzhe said in confusion.
Li Geng said helplessly: "It may be hard to hear, but in fact... among the miscellaneous immortals, there are indeed a very large number of creatures who truly became immortals and became ancestors, rising up in that morbid environment.
It is precisely because of their appearance that more and more human beings are like moths rushing to a flame, rushing towards the big cage of the Fairy Garden regardless of their own safety.
Moreover, miscellaneous immortals can also be cultivated. If they have enough qualifications, they may really turn over completely. After all, they essentially have a long life of up to one yuan."
Tie Tang remembered the avenue he had seen in Xianting before, and then he understood why he felt instinctive disgust.
But he still has some questions, because he knows that in the fairy court...
There is also a human overlord!
"I once heard Marquis Zhongyong mention that the great emperors of the five directions are all in the Immortal Court, and even in Buddhism and Taoism, there are also immortals and gods who have been in the Immortal Court for a long time. Why is this?"
Feng Bingyao explained to him: "The reason for this is very complicated. In the extremely ancient times, when the Immortal Court was not established, there was no Immortal Court. There was no difference between the human world and the Immortal Court also belonged to the human world.
You can understand that... many areas in the Immortal Garden were occupied by the human world in the past, so naturally they would not be given up to others so easily.
In addition.
Immortal Court is indeed a good place. Compared with the human world, it is considered a higher level area.
Many serving officials of the Immortal Court are not only ordered by the Lord of the Immortal Court, but also have to follow the instructions of Heaven. Many times they are unable to control themselves and are restricted by Heaven.
Especially for some immortal overlords who control special avenues, living in the Immortal Court is far better than living in the human world, and even they cannot easily leave the Immortal Court for too long."
Since immortal matter is so scarce, Tie Tang naturally thought of the most critical thing.
There are many miscellaneous immortals in the Immortal Court who provide immortal substances, so the immortal gods in the Immortal Court are always at the peak of their strength. It is terrifying that the research on some powerful immortal arts and magical powers is far better than that of the human world.
As for the immortals and gods in the human world, since there are not a large number of miscellaneous immortals to provide immortal substances, at most they can barely ensure that their own cultivation does not stagnate.
Even.
Because the miscellaneous immortals in the Immortal Court will also die, the Immortal Court must recruit a large number of creatures from the human world to ascend to immortality every once in a while.
This leads to the inevitable conflict between the fairy court and the human world, and it is an extremely violent conflict.
On the one hand, the Immortal Court has been accustomed to living a wealthy life for a long time. Once they lose the source of immortality as a source of immortality, they will definitely not give up.
On the other hand.
The immortals and gods on earth would not want to see the Immortal Court standing high above and squandering immortal materials.
The balance between the two...what is guaranteed?
When Tie Tang asked this question, he got an expected answer.
"No!"
Fang Pengyi said slowly: "During a period of relative peace between the two sides, the short-term needs of both sides can be met through the trade of a large number of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, immortal weapons, formations, talismans and other items.
Once there is turmoil in the world.
Immortal Court will take action immediately, coaxing and even forcibly ingesting human beings to ascend.
Immortals in the human world are more straightforward. If you don’t have immortal material, I will go directly to the Immortal Court to grab it.
There are also some people who cannot resist the temptation and simply join the Immortal Court and join in the evil deeds.
This is a problem that remains unsolved.
Want to break the situation.
There is only one way - unification!
But if you want to unify the human world and the immortal court...not to mention whether anyone has this strength, the underworld and the underworld will not agree.
If the relationship between the fairy court, the underworld, and the human world can remain as it is today... it will be the best situation.
If there is a little bit of turmoil, it is the human beings who will suffer in the end.
Nowadays, all the races in the world have disappeared, and a large number of creatures are dominated by our human race. Any fluctuations will cause violent shocks to the human race, which can range from collapse to collapse, and the race is reduced to an existence like livestock.
At worst, the human race will be destroyed and completely disappear from heaven and earth.
Therefore, even the Human Emperor, an unparalleled and unprecedented talent, cannot achieve a perfect balance, let alone unify the three worlds of heaven, earth, and man."
How many immortals are there in the Immortal Court, and how many overlords are there?
How many ghosts and gods are there in the underworld, and how many overlords are there?
Just thinking about it gives Tie Tang a headache.
Unless someone has enough strength to destroy everything, even if he is invincible, he will eventually be unable to defeat four hands with two fists.
To unify the three realms is currently absolutely impossible and even unimaginable.
Being as powerful as the Great Merchant Emperor can only make the Immortal Court and the Underworld bow their heads and do things in their own land in a disciplined manner.
It is too difficult to completely unify.
"Now that the Human Emperor has disappeared for a long time, he has actually attracted the prying eyes of the Immortal Court and the Underworld. No wonder the evil cult dares to cause chaos. Their confidence not only comes from themselves, but I am afraid that the Immortal Court and the Underworld are secretly involved."
Thinking of this, Tie Tang felt a sense of urgency in his heart again. He glanced at the people who were still immersed in the previous words, turned his palms, and found a colorful brocade box in his palms.
"We don't have to think too much about these things. If the sky falls, the imperial court will support it. Come on, I have nine nine-turn golden elixirs.
Lao Wang, Bi Qi, Brother Ji, Brother Duan, Su Xin, Zhen Guandong, Li Yao, each of you, if you swallow one, you can greatly increase your physical strength."
He did not mention the three Iron Dragon brothers, because all three of them are magic witches, and the Nine Transformations Golden Pill is of limited use to them.
And because Long Yu himself has the highest qualifications, this kind of pill that enhances the physical body will have even less effect on him.
The few people whose names were called didn't dare to stretch out their hands at first, and they declined several times. In the end, Wang Andao took one first to open up the situation, and the remaining people took action one after another.
The nine-turn golden elixir, the elixir becomes the nine-turn golden elixir.
Once swallowed, the physical body will also undergo nine transformations, completely reborn, and become an Arhat Vajra Body.
After several people took the Nine Turns Golden Pill, they immediately sat cross-legged to refine the potency.
Among them, Ji Yingzhe and Li Yao were the first to show strangeness.
Their strength and qualifications are higher than others, and the power of the golden elixir in the first turn is quickly absorbed.
Peng!
The bodies of both of them were swollen to a height of one foot, filled with flesh and blood, and fist-sized lumps appeared all over their bodies.
Gudong! Gudong!
Like a golden toad swallowing the moon, loud sounds resounded in their Dantian.
Suddenly.
Their bodies suddenly became taller and thinner, like bamboo poles, completely different from their previous postures.
A large amount of black impurities flowed out of their bodies, forming a black and hard shell outside their bodies, and wisps of gray smoke floated out from the Baihui point above their heads.
Winter~
It's like an ancient bell ringing.
The bodies of Ji Yingzhe and Li Yao returned to their previous size, but a trace of golden light appeared in the corners of their eyes, noses, earlobes, etc.
The first turn was successful, but it is far from finished.
Tie Tang just looked at it like this. He had never seen anything like this before. After seeing it with his own eyes, he had to sigh: "No wonder it's so hard to find a pill in the world. This kind of panacea... only needs one, and it's better than ordinary people."
I don’t know how much hard work.
If it were me, it would be too easy to rely on elixirs for cultivation."
Li Geng was born in Taiyi, which is the place with the most alchemists in the world, and he has a deep understanding of this.
"A truly rare elixir, it is not an exaggeration to call it an elixir. Unfortunately, the elixir is too difficult to refine, and training an alchemist is even more difficult for the whole family.
If Brother Tie wants to rely on elixirs for cultivation, I'm afraid selling the entire Qingshui City won't be enough."
Fang Pengyi looked at the few people practicing and said: "They have swallowed the Nine-turn Golden Pill. As long as they can completely refine the medicine, their bodies will be almost invincible in the secret realm of witchcraft. It is difficult for anyone to hurt them at the top.
But in this way... it is also equivalent to putting a layer of shackles on them. It may not be that easy to break through this restriction."
The strength gained from external objects is like a natural barrier.
It is tall enough and big enough.
When you are still weak, let alone touching, you may not even be able to see.
But people will always grow.
As the strength of a few people increases and they are able to touch this barrier, it will become an obstacle, making it difficult for them to make any progress, or they will spin in circles, unable to see the real path in the future.
Long Yu said: "Master's words are wrong. With adults here, it's just a nine-turn golden elixir. What's the point?"
Fang Pengyi smiled and scolded: "You brat, now that you have become my disciple, your elbows are still turned outward, right?"
"It seems that the senior has taken on a good apprentice. I wonder if he can pass on your mantle." Tie Tang also just learned the news from the conversation between the two.
"Long Yu's qualifications need no introduction. He is more than enough to teach me the Taoism. But if you really want to spread the name of the Tao of formations to the three realms, you have to..."
"I don't have time, but Tie is also very curious... Could it be that throughout the ages, including peerless overlords like the Human Emperor, there has never been a grandmaster who truly pushed the art of formation to its peak?
