Chapter 1 Taishang
Since the first saint Li Changsheng opened the Academy of Cultivating Immortals, the torch has been passed down from generation to generation, and through the unremitting efforts of countless sages, the concept of "everyone cultivating immortals" has gradually been recognized by the world. Today, it has been 12,000 years, and it is the era when everyone in the Daofa Dachang is like a dragon, and this kind of prosperous era is unprecedented and unprecedented! How lucky we are to be in such a prosperous age, but you don't know how to cherish it, what a pity!"
On the podium, Mr. Zhao was spitting and telling the history that everyone in today's society is familiar with, while the fifteen or sixteen-year-old students under the podium were already drowsy.
However, one of the students could not sleep even though he was lying on the table, and his eyes kept looking out the window. His name is Chen Xiaobei, a poor student from an ordinary working family, his parents are low-level employees of the Zhou Group, and he relies on a meager salary to support him to attend Mingkong No. 1 Middle School, a key middle school in the city.
In fact, he didn't plan to go to such a key middle school, because the tuition fees were too expensive for a family like him to afford. What's more, there are all kinds of expensive learning materials, which are like mountains pressing on his parents.
However, just as every parent wants their children to grow up to be productive, his parents put all their expectations on him, and they worked tirelessly to earn money to support his studies.
But cultivating immortals is not an ordinary thing, the more it costs, the more effective it becomes, with his parents' class, no matter how hard he works, it is impossible to compare with those wealthy families.
When he was in elementary school, he might have caught up with others with diligence, because at this time, everyone was working hard to refine their qi, and what they fought for was cultivation.
Others can improve their cultivation by absorbing the spiritual power of the spirit stone, then I rely on time and diligence!
And when it comes to middle school, that kind of gap is revealed, the middle school examines not only cultivation, but also spells, runes, formations, alchemy, refining, etc., all need to be assessed, and these can be improved by relying on diligence alone, that is the need for money, a lot of spirit stones!
How dare he reach out to his parents to ask for these again, the optical tuition has exhausted his parents!
Every time the school sends out the materials, he cherishes, cherishes, cherishes, and cherishes again, and he can't wait to divide the materials into countless parts!
However, this is still not enough.
There will always be a day when the materials will run out, and after that, he will not want to improve at all, and his studies will naturally deteriorate.
By now, he was about to take the high school entrance examination, and no matter how hard he tried, even in the cultivation that he was most proud of, he was quickly surpassed, just because those people had bought better exercises and piled up their cultivation with more spirit stones.
From the former top student to the current bottom, he has tasted the hardships of the world at a young age.
If that's all it takes, he'll be able to bear it. The most unbearable thing for him was to see the disappointed eyes of his parents, and he didn't know how to face them!
At this time, the bell rang for the end of class, and the students cheered and rushed out of the classroom. Chen Xiaobei lifted his backpack in frustration and walked out slowly.
"Yo, isn't this the top student in our class!" a tall and handsome boy blocked the door of the classroom at some point.
"Haha......"
The boy's attendants laughed loudly.
"Zhou Haotian, don't deceive people too much!" Chen Xiaobei clenched his fists and looked at him angrily.
Zhou Haotian, the only son of the president of Zhou's Group, and Chen Xiaobei have not seen each other since they were children, but they didn't have much contact with each other until they entered middle school, he liked a girl at work, and it happened that Zhou Haotian also liked it, and there was a conflict between them.
At that time, he had just entered junior high school, and he thought that he could not lose to others with hard work, so he ignored Zhou Haotian's warning to pursue that girl, and then the result was very simple, not only did he not catch up with that girl, but also offended Zhou Haotian because of it.
Zhou Haotian often troubles him, he was able to rely on his own cultivation at the beginning, but later as Zhou Haotian continued to supply various resources, he could not compare with him in terms of cultivation or spells, and in the end he could only let him bully!
And this time, Zhou Haotian found him again, which has almost become Zhou Haotian's daily routine!
"What if I deceive people too much? What if you hit me!" Zhou Haotian looked at him with a sneer.
Chen Xiaobei's face was pale, and anger welled up in his heart, but he pressed back.
"Coward!"
Zhou Haotian glanced at him disdainfully, then laughed and walked out of the classroom. The attendants who followed him also glanced at him with disdain, giggling expressions.
"Why ......"
Chen Xiaobei silently left unwilling tears.
......
Mingkong City folk immortal cultivation gathering.
As its name suggests, it is a folk gathering, a gathering organized by folk immortal cultivators.
In this era when everyone cultivates immortals, everyone enters the primary school of cultivating immortals and has been taught the basic immortal cultivation method created by the ancestor Li Changsheng-the secret of longevity. But not everyone can live forever, most people go into society after graduating from junior high school, relying on what they have learned in school to earn money to support their families.
Only a small percentage of them are admitted to high school and embark on the road to immortality. He even walked into college and finally graduated with honor.
Some of these people end up being the enshrinement of ordinary families, relying on contributions to obtain resources, and continue to move forward slowly. Only those who were born into a family can rely on the resources of the family to continue to overcome obstacles and go straight to the road of immortality.
But in fact, there is no one who has truly attained eternal life!
Even the first saint Li Changsheng only lived to a thousand years in the end, and in the end there was only a cup of loess left!
So much so that Eternal Life was rebuked by those experts in society as the lies of the ancients!
But the millennium has been the envy of everyone, otherwise those people of the family would not have pursued tirelessly.
The folk immortal cultivation assembly is the spontaneous gathering of those who are eager for immortality among the common people, they do not have the huge resources of the family, but there are many adventures and so on.
Ever since some people picked up the broken magic weapons of ancient times from the folk immortal cultivation gatherings, many people have tried to buy some seemingly tattered and useless things, hoping to find the real magic weapons of cultivating immortals, so that some people have specially collected some tattered antiques for those who hope to get adventures.
The reason why Chen Xiaobei came here was, of course, not for the illusory luck, but for the exercises. "Longevity Formula", as the most basic exercise, is actually no longer suitable for his current cultivation. But because of the lack of spirit stones, he has not been able to obtain a follow-up exercise that suits him.
This time, perhaps because he felt the imminent high school entrance examination, or because he was stimulated by Zhou Haotian, he finally made up his mind and decided to take advantage of the weekend and holiday to go to the folk immortal cultivation gathering to find an ancient immortal method.
The first saint Li Changsheng opened up a new prosperous era of cultivating immortals, and created a self-cultivation exercise "Immortal Jue" that everyone can cultivate immortals, this exercise can not only be practiced by everyone, but also easier to receive spiritual power from spirit stones, so it was quickly popularized.
The exercises practiced by modern people are all derived from this "Recipe for Longevity", or upgraded on the basis of the Recipe for Longevity, or created according to the original exercises and the "Recipe for Longevity". In short, they all have the biggest feature of "Longevity Formula", that is, it is easy to absorb the spiritual power in the spirit stone.
And the so-called Gu Immortal Method, that is, those exercises before the appearance of the Longevity Formula, have basically been eliminated by modern people.
The first reason is that most of these Gu Immortal Methods cannot absorb the spiritual power in the spirit stone for their own use, and the few exercises that can absorb the spiritual power in the spirit stone are also prone to go mad because of the spiritual power in the spirit stone.
This alone makes most modern people choose to ignore the Gu Immortal Method, and the shortcomings of the Gu Immortal Method are more than these!
The requirements for practicing the Gu Immortal Method are very numerous, and they are far less than the modern exercises that have almost no restrictions. If you don't follow the requirements of the Gu Immortal Law, it's easy to go mad.
Only those casual cultivators who longed for immortality but did not have a spirit stone to practice would try to practice, but most of these people either went mad and died, or died in an inexplicable calamity.
After countless painful lessons, even those casual cultivators who were extremely eager for immortality no longer dared to touch this Gu Immortal Method.
The reason why Chen Xiaobei chose the Gu Immortal Method was that he had no money to buy spirit stones for cultivation, and secondly, he almost had the idea of seeking death.
After all, he is still an adolescent teenager, his mind is still immature, and the huge pressure torments him, making him subconsciously have thoughts of suicide. But I don't dare to put it into practice because I am worried about my parents' feelings. This thought was hidden in his heart, and then under the stimulation of the outside world, he finally made this decision that he didn't know whether it was right or wrong.
He walked around the folk immortal cultivation gathering, and finally found a Gu Immortal Method in a corner, which he had seen with his spiritual sense, and it was indeed an Gu Immortal Method. It was a sloppy drunkard who put it up for sale on the ground, and there were many strange things on his stall. When he saw that Chen Xiaobei was a student, he said directly: "Three lower grade spirit stones! This Gu Immortal Method is yours!"
"Half a lower grade spirit stone!" Chen Xiaobei said.
"Forget it, look at you as a student baby, two low-grade spirit stones! "The drunkard is afraid that the buyer who has finally appeared will slip away and quickly reduce the price.
"Half a lower grade spirit stone!" Chen Xiaobei did not let go.
"I said, little brother, this is a rare Gu Immortal Method!
Chen Xiaobei said: "Your Gu Immortal Method must have been placed here for a long time, but no one has bought it, I am your only buyer." I don't buy it, you may have to wait a long time, and if you think you can afford to wait, you can not sell it to me. I don't care, I don't necessarily have to buy this Gu Immortal Method, it's just a whim of mine, maybe I'll regret it at some point. If I practice, I might go mad at some point, and if you don't sell it to me, I might have to thank you!"
I'll sell it to you, but at least I want a spirit stone, and I don't plan to sell it anyway, so I'll give you the rest!How about it?"
Chen Xiaobei thought for a while and said, "Okay!"
As he spoke, he reluctantly took out a low-grade spirit stone from his pocket and handed it to the drunkard. This was originally used by his parents to buy him practice materials, but now they let him buy the Gu Immortal Method.
He didn't know if his decision was right or wrong, but he knew he had to give up his life!
