“Ahem… Those two immortals really have no sense of public morality. They don’t even know to find a place where no one is around to fight, and they have implicated you, an innocent passerby.”
Sensing a hint of sadness in the other party’s words, Qi Yuan had to cough twice to cover up his embarrassment, and by the way, he said a few words of comfort without paying.
The old man surnamed Shi seemed to have let it go, and said faintly, “This is the will of heaven, what can I do? I have been through tens of thousands of years, taking revenge and killing powerful enemies, but I still can’t escape the cycle of fate.”
Then, he barely cheered up and continued:
“Because I didn’t take the path of heaven before, I found that my way forward was cut off after practicing to the perfection of Mahayana. If I want to become an immortal, I can only hope for that illusory immortal fate.”
Immortal fate?
Qi Yuan’s heart skipped a beat.
According to what the mysterious Mahayana said before, it is extremely difficult to become an immortal.
In addition to the arduous and harsh route of the Heavenly Path, there is another unconventional route.
That is to obtain immortal fate.
Compared with the visible and tangible method of becoming an immortal such as the Heavenly Path, immortal fate is like waiting for a pie in the sky to fall, and whether you can get it depends entirely on your luck.
Immortal fate can be some kind of immortal tool, immortal pill, immortal inheritance obtained by chance, or simply someone is the reincarnation of an immortal. In short, everything that can make a mortal become an immortal can be called immortal fate.
However, he has always belonged to the non-African tribe. After a lot of luck, he awakened the system, but it is still a mentally retarded thing that makes people worry. Obviously, he can’t expect to become an immortal through immortal fate. It is more practical to follow the path of heaven…
Just as his thoughts were flowing, the old man continued:
“At that time, I had already left the Yunmeng World and went to the depths of the endless void to look for immortal fate, until I encountered that sudden disaster.”
“The aftermath of the immortals’ fight was too terrifying. Just a trace of breath that escaped caused the old man’s perfect physical body to collapse instantly, leaving only a wisp of residual soul that escaped and attached to this ring.”
“Later, I burned up almost all of my magic power and drove the ring back to this world. Then I fell into a long sleep until I was awakened by Lin the Kid.”
After saying that, the old man sighed again:
“My death was so sudden that I disappeared for more than 100,000 years before I had time to arrange my funeral…”
Qi Yuan’s face showed a look of realization:
“You must be worried about your descendants, so you want me to take care of them, right?”
“You guessed wrong. There is only the Tao in my heart. I have no children or daughters, no worries, and I haven’t even accepted a disciple.”
“In order to pursue immortal fate in my later years, I broke off all ties with the sect early on. I have nothing to worry about in this world anymore.”
Hearing this, Qi Yuan frowned and continued to guess:
“Did you leave a lot of inheritance without anyone to inherit, and plan to let the younger generation help you get it back?”
“My friend, you guessed wrong again. All my wealth is in a space magic treasure. That magic treasure has been annihilated along with my body. Now I can’t even get a piece of spiritual stone together…”
Qi Yuan’s mouth twitched slightly.
Is this old guy sick? He doesn’t know how to speak properly. He has to be a riddler halfway through.
Guess your sister, guess, guess, if I’m stupid enough to take the bait again, I’ll take your last name from now on!
At this time, someone who has never guessed right since entering the door decided to start playing badly./p>After waiting for a while, the old man who received no response seemed to feel a little bored, and could only talk to himself:
“I once found an ancient divine beast in a prehistoric relic. Although that innate divine beast was gifted and had an extraordinary foundation, it was still in its infancy at the time, and its strength was far from its prime.”
“I used a powerful secret technique that took away the will of heaven and earth, and spent a full hundred years to plant a blood restriction in its body, intending to train it as a spiritual pet.”
“It’s a pity that the accident happened not long after I placed it in the cave. The divine beast has a long lifespan and can easily live for millions of years. Now, only more than 100,000 years have passed, and it has probably just reached adulthood.”
“With the ability of that divine beast, after losing my restraint, it will quickly break through the formation in the cave and escape.”
“What I want you to do is to help find the divine beast, so that you will have someone to rely on when you encounter trouble in the future.”
Ancient divine beast?
After hearing this, Qi Yuan was stunned at first, and then he looked embarrassed:
“Are you joking, senior? An adult ancient beast has at least the combat power of the Mahayana level.”
“You want me, a junior who has just broken through the Nascent Soul stage, to capture a Mahayana beast. Isn’t this inappropriate?”
“If I really meet it, it will probably catch me.”
To be honest, this request is even more outrageous than the task issued by the system. After all, the system will only arrange him to bully others, but it is impossible to arrange him to die…
As if Qi Yuan’s reaction was anticipated, the old man immediately explained:
“Don’t worry, my friend. With the restrictions I set up, no matter how powerful that evil beast is, it won’t be able to cause any trouble. I will teach you a command spell later. When you meet it, you only need to recite this spell to make it obedient and tame, and it won’t dare to resist at all.”
“You have condensed into the Yuanying of the Heavenly Dao, and you have a trace of the Heavenly Dao on your body. After smelling it, the evil beast will instinctively get close to you and won’t attack you easily. You have enough time to recite the spell.”
“After the matter is done, I will tell you the specific location of the ancient ruins. There are not only all the materials needed to refine the Tiandan Pill, but also many rare and exotic animals and natural treasures that are hard to find in the world.”
“If you are lucky enough, you may even encounter the caves left behind by the ancient masters. At that time, it is not impossible to ascend to heaven in one step…”
The old man’s voice was low and ethereal, with a hint of persuasion.
After pondering for a moment, Qi Yuan raised his doubts again:
“Senior, you should know that this world is vast and boundless. It has been so long. Looking for an ancient beast with no trace is like looking for a needle in a haystack. I am afraid it will be difficult for me to do it.”
“Don’t worry, my friend. If you agree, I will use Lin Zhen’s hand to make a positioning compass tonight and send it to you tomorrow morning.”
“As long as that evil beast appears within a radius of 100,000 miles, the compass will automatically locate it. You only need to follow the direction of the pointer to find its location.”
“This…”
Qi Yuan hesitated for a moment.
Although the reward seems very generous, it sounds more like a blank check. Who knows if the so-called ancient ruins have been plundered.
The only thing that interests him is actually the ancient beast itself.
If the innate beast of the Mahayana realm is used properly, it will definitely be a great help.
Anyway, there is no time limit, so at most he can useThe command spell can be used for a hundred or eighty years before being returned.
Although there are great masters in the holy land, they are not something that a Taoist like him can dispatch at will. They all hide in the caves of the sects and retreat, and generally do not show up unless they encounter a matter of life and death.
If he can really get a great fighter to be his thug, wouldn’t he be able to walk sideways in the world of immortal cultivation in the future?
Thinking of this, Qi Yuan finally made up his mind:
“In that case, I am willing to give it a try!”
