Chapter 316: Chapter 108 Ancient Relics_3

Xiao Jie thought to himself, how impressive is this? Wait a second, isn’t what he’s saying a bit similar to what that Zhang Xing Wen mentioned about the Dominator Level AI?

"Such a powerful Immortal Law! Just listening to it is enough to captivate the soul. It’s truly awe-inspiring that Immortal could invent such a wonderful method. It makes one look up to the high mountains with respect, not daring to look directly."

Xiao Jie hurriedly took the opportunity to praise the skill.

"However, this Immortal Law cannot calculate everything," Shen Jizi suddenly added. "Take, for example, the origin of that Taoist..."

"How can this be? Didn’t the ’It Transformation Freedom Heart’ claim to be able to penetrate the Mystic Universe and uncover the Heavenly Secret?"

"Indeed, that’s why I am also quite puzzled. The origin of this person is truly baffling; within this universe, there has yet to be a person or thing I cannot deduce. Yet whenever I attempt to calculate this person’s background, all I encounter is chaos."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jie felt as though he had a revelation, "Could it be that the other party is not from this universe?"

Shen Jizi’s expression froze for a moment and then drastically changed.

"Young friend, I have matters to attend to, so I must be going. Take the elixir with you."

With that, he flicked his wrist, and a Golden Core fell into Xiao Jie’s bosom.

[System Prompt: You have completed the adventure quest [Immortal Gambling], successfully defeating Shen Jizi and obtaining the quest reward [Life-extending Pill].]

Xiao Jie didn’t even have time to be elated when the projection of the Immortal had already disappeared.

Watching Shen Jizi disappear, Xiao Jie couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief, glad to have sent off this person.

He was also curious about the person behind the Evil Man, so powerful that even Shen Jizi could not deduce him; it seems he had chosen a good cover after all.

But from Shen Jizi’s reaction, could there really be a universe beyond this one?

Could it be the content of the new version update for the game?

However, it’s better not to think about those useless things now and secure the immediate benefits first.

Xiao Jie glanced at the elixir in his inventory.

[Life-extending Pill (Immortal Pill)

Use: Extends the life span of an intelligent being by ten years.

Item Introduction: An elixir refined by Immortals from Gu Yun State, it can extend the lifespan of mortals. In ancient times, it was a treasure conferred to mortal heroes by Gu Yun State. Since the shattering of Gu Yun State and the Immortals going into seclusion, such elixirs have rarely appeared in the world.]

What a treasure! This thing can be sold to players or exchanged with NPCs, and it is definitely a solid currency.

Moreover, its value ceiling is extremely high, as after all, life span is something that even billionaires urgently need.

If calculated at a high price, swapping it for a billion would also be easy.

However, this ten-year extension of life span seems a bit different from what I had in mind before. I was thinking about becoming ten years younger, but now it looks like it should be adding ten years to the maximum lifespan. So even if I took it, my age probably wouldn’t change, making it unnecessary to waste it.

Thereupon, he headed out of the cave, and this time there were no air walls blocking his path.

Passing through the cave, outside was a gigantic circular valley; inside Konglao Mountain lay a huge Heavenly Pit. Above the pit hovered layers of white clouds, with the vapor falling onto the surrounding cliffs, turning into trickling waterfalls and dispersing into mist, creating a mystical and dreamlike atmosphere that enveloped the entire valley.

The valley was filled with exotic flowers and rare herbs, a picturesque scene of a hidden paradise.

As Xiao Jie walked through the valley, everything he saw stirred his emotions.

Is this where the Ancient Qi Refiners practiced? Truly a splendid place.

But he still remembered his true goal—the Ancient Qi Refiner’s heritage.

Xiao Jie looked around and sure enough, he saw many smooth walls inscribed with numerous characters beneath the cliffs of the Heavenly Pit.

These must be left behind by ancient Qi Refiners; it was unclear what was written.

He approached one of the walls and saw it inscribed with.

[After facing the wall in enlightenment for three hundred years, I suddenly had a revelation and composed a verse, inscribing it on the wall to record it...]

Fuck, it turns out to be a piece of poetry written by an ancient Qi Refiner, lamenting his abandonment of his original mortal identity, hiding in the deep mountains to cultivate, lonely and desolate, yet filled with anticipation for eternal life, but as time flew by like an arrow, three hundred years passed without gaining anything, inevitably feeling a sense of sorrow, this damned...

He hurriedly went to another stone wall.

[Cultivated against the wall for five hundred years, achieved nothing, felt frustrated, went out to clear my mind, caught a white fish, made a soup with wine, it was very delicious, inscribed on the wall to record it...]

System prompt: You’ve discovered the recipe [Drunken White Fish], do you wish to learn it, Yes/No.

Learning prerequisites: Master of Cooking, comprehension of 15 points.

It’s actually a recipe... Xiao Jie was speechless, these ancient Qi Refiners wrote about everything, but he decided to learn it anyway, there’s no reason to refuse a free formula.

He read it over several times.

System prompt: You have learned the recipe [Drunken White Fish], the content of your Skill Book has increased.

He continued to change to another wall.

[Cultivated against the wall for seven hundred years, attained nothing, merely practiced my swordsmanship excessively, feeling unrestrained like my heart...]

But when he looked beneath that inscription, he saw seventeen sword marks, each revealing some special change that was shocking to the eye, as if blades were on your back.

[System prompt: You have discovered Immortal’s Sword Intent Stone Engraving, your comprehension is insufficient, you cannot comprehend, your swordsmanship level is insufficient, you cannot comprehend...]

Alas! What a waste.

Xiao Jie read through the inscriptions one by one, most of which were the grumblings, reflections, and poetry left by the ancient Qi Refiners who were cultivating and seeking enlightenment here.

Once in a while, there was some useful content, but unfortunately, most of them were beyond his ability to learn.

However, he had learned two recipes.

One was [Drunken White Fish], and the other was [Immortal Drunk (Wine Brewing Formula)].

The naming style of these Qi Refiners indeed had some grace to it, even though they had not become Immortals, they began to assume the identity of Immortals.

Finally, Xiao Jie came to the highest stone wall, which stood due north of the Heavenly Pit, directly facing the direction of the cave, and it had the most characters.

[We, a group of Qi Refiners, collectively sought enlightenment for three thousand years, exhausting our minds and spirits in our arduous quest, and ultimately achieved success, obtaining ten volumes of Qi Refining Skill, for the quest of Eternal Life, fearing that something might have been overlooked, we inscribed it on the wall...]

System prompt: You have discovered the Ancient Relic [Ancient Qi Cultivation Technique].

Haha, finally found it.

Xiao Jie carefully read the contents.

[The world has Spiritual Energy, which transforms and brings life to all things. Refining Qi produces Purple Cloud, immortality transforms eternal life.

If eternal life is within reach, one only needs to hide the soul. The soul and flesh united as one, transcending the mundane...]

This Ancient Qi Cultivation Technique spanning ten volumes progressed from simple to deep, in an orderly manner.

It described an element called [Spiritual Energy] in the universe, that by absorbing and gradually transforming this energy, one could surpass the realm of mortals and reach a realm of immortal longevity.

One could also transcend mortal affairs and enter a higher plane...

The Ancient Qi Refiners called this [Ascension], and once ascended, one would become a special existence beyond mortals.

Because Ancient Qi Refiners cultivated in the mountains, they were hence known as [Immortals], those from within the mountains.

Xiao Jie was captivated as he read.

Without warning, a cold snort came from behind, "Hehehehuhuhu, nicely written, pity though, it’s all useless nonsense in the end, no matter how much you read, you won’t be able to cultivate into anything."

Xiao Jie jumped in fright, whirled around, and saw an old man in tattered linen standing in the middle of the Heavenly Pit, with white hair and beard, extremely old, yet his skin was smooth as a mirror, like that of a baby.

Xiao Jie tensely looked at the old man’s head and saw a yellow name indicating a neutral NPC.

He didn’t dare to be careless, while a yellow name wasn’t a monster, it didn’t mean he could be as friendly as a green name NPC.
