『Chapter error, click here to report』
"Can I also cultivate immortals?"
"You should understand that most of the so-called immortals in the world are evil immortals and autopsy immortals, even if they get rid of death, they will live in the pursuit of the messengers of the underworld for the rest of their lives, and they will never be at peace."
"I heard that there are immortals in the Tang Kingdom, longevity and heaven and earth, and step up to the sky, I don't know that there are such immortals in my country."
"As far as I know, there is no advanced immortal Dao inheritance in China."
Hua Kaiyuan Xiuyuan regretted to cover half of his face with his sleeve to hide the almost uncontrollable smile.
In front of him, a middle-aged aristocratic man with lead powder on his face and a pale and withered face was hanging his head regretfully.
It was this nobleman who heard the erudite name of the Flower Blossom Academy, and specially came to ask for advice on the method of immortality.
"But"
Hua Kaiyuan Xiuyuan deliberately lengthened his tone.
The nobleman looked up sharply, the anticipation in his eyes undisguised.
"I heard that the dog demon clan in the western country seems to be related to some immortal monsters."
"Ah, the so-called immortal monster is a monster that obtains immortality through the essence of plants and trees, this is the immortal path that originated in the country, and only the monster is in control."
"It is said that these immortals and monsters, although they can't live to the heavens and the earth, and ascend to the heavens, they can also prolong their lives several times, even if ordinary people get this method, they must be able to easily obtain hundreds of years of lifespan and don't need to face all kinds of strange taboos, which can be described as a pretty good immortal technique."
"It's just that if you want to get the news from the monster's mouth, and then seize the art of becoming an immortal, it's not so easy."
Hua Kaiyuan Xiuyuan is teasing the greed in this man's heart step by step.
Yes, he wants to borrow the power of these nobles to obtain the art of immortality!
The immortal arts here in the island country are, of course, different from those over there.
However, there are also merits.
The immortal art that has been passed down from the Tang Dynasty in Middle Earth, combined with the local occultism, the immortals born are no longer even counted as side doors, they can only be regarded as left roads.
The evil immortal is first-class, and the inhuman realm that he stepped into by devouring the lives of others, but it is not an alternative immortal like a monster, and it can only be classified as the left path.
As for the immortals and youkai, this kind of information was mentioned in the records of the Hanakaiin clan on Earth before coming to this era.
Immortals and monsters who do not concentrate on cultivating demonic power, but instead study the method of immortality, and prolong their life through the essence of plants and trees.
A youkai who has mastered all kinds of powerful immortal arts while gaining several times or even dozens of times the lifespan beyond the racial limit.
Of course, fairy monsters are still monsters.
"Your Excellency, please tell me where I can find the secret method of immortality!"
After an inadvertent "leak", there was an endless stream of visitors like this.
Not necessarily no one will see through his true thoughts, but
"Who can refuse the temptation of immortality?"
"For the sake of immortality, they can easily abandon even the identity of human beings, and they have to live when they transform into monsters, so how can they give up the art of becoming immortals on top of them?"
Thinking like this, Hua Kaiyuan Xiuyuan is pretending to be troubled, holding a slight gesture, so that people don't know the answer easily, but it's annoying.
The communication between the nobles is so full of all kinds of cumbersome and unnecessary links.
Besides, if the Onmyoji is a teacher, they need to verify it in the end, and they won't trust it easily.
So, Hua Kaiyuan Xiuyuan pointed out the whereabouts of a certain immortal for them.
It was a peach blossom that tried to cultivate into an immortal, but failed, and the torso of the peach tree king was filled with the essence of plants and trees, which could be used to prolong life.
After paying a small price, the man, whose face was covered with lead powder, finally left satisfied
He paid the price of borrowing out several ancient books of the Tang Kingdom in his own collection, and obtained a positive answer.
In this era, every book is a treasure worthy of being passed down.
Even between master and apprentice, it is easy to lend it, and at most it is allowed to copy.
Therefore, this is not a light price.
However, in a certain way, he did not suffer a loss, after all, he only borrowed books and not gave them away.
Onmyoji did not suffer either, and he sold this answer to quite a few people.
Just one news has obtained the right to borrow nearly two hundred different books from the hands of more than a dozen small nobles, large and small.
"Since I am the ancestor of the Huakaiyuan family, I naturally have the obligation to leave some treasures for future generations that can be passed on."
"One of the most precious treasures in the world is books, which are the crystallization of human civilization and are never outdated."
Hua Kaiyuan Xiuyuan, at this time, I also had to sigh at the wonder of cause and effect.
He traveled to the Huakaiyuan clan in later generations, but at this time he became the true ancestor of the Huakaiyuan clan.
Is it because of this cause that there is the effect of crossing?
Or did it lead to the fruit of crossing first, which led to the birth of the Huakaiyuan family?
It's hard to sort out, it's hard to understand, and this is exactly the mysterious, the truth between heaven and earth that the Onmyoji is pursuing.
Understanding, mastering, and applying it is precisely the meaning of using it to control the mandate of heaven and conquering heaven with manpower.
"Since the flowers bloom because of me, then I have this responsibility, this obligation, to let it continue as long as possible."
"First, I'm going to build a big library, and then, fill it up!"
Within half a month of the next month, the children of the nobles who verified the news one after another did not break their promises on such a small matter, and lent out the promised books as promised.
The little nobles have only a few books of poetry and miscellaneous notes on hand, which are used to pass the time, enhance knowledge, and serve as talking points when communicating between nobles, which is not enough to attract attention.
"These, after copying, received them together, put them on this floor, and then I will classify them later."
Hua Kaiyuan Xiuyuan just waved his hand and spilled dozens of rune papers, summoning the invisible Shikigami to copy these books according to his mind.
On the clean floor, dozens of snow-white rice paper and dozens of floating brushes are writing quickly.
The open paper door is facing the garden full of cherry blossoms, and the slightly drunk Onmyoji, dressed in a yukata slightly open, lies on the floor on his side, holding a wine bowl in his right hand, and slowly pouring sake into his mouth A graceful Onmyoji, even at this moment, still gives people a sense of freehand style.
The sun shone on his face, and he couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly, and lay down with his clothes.
