Chapter 76 I Just Want to Become an Immortal!
"Sister Ah Zhu, you said that the young master has been in seclusion for seven days and has not eaten or drunk anything?"
"Not only did he not eat or drink, he didn't even drink a drop of water. The snacks and food I sent him were all taken back unopened."
"Could it be that the young master has reached a critical period in his training and has no time to eat?"
"I don't know either. Before the young master went into seclusion, he asked me to find him many Taoist books, and... cinnabar and yellow paper..."
"Cinnabar and yellow paper?! What do you need these things for when you practice martial arts?"
……
Suzhou, Yanziwu, Chanhe Village.
Deng Baichuan and Gong Yeqian were pacing back and forth in the side hall of the backyard, looking anxious, and from time to time they would look in the direction of the quiet room.
However, no matter how many times they looked, the stone door of the quiet room was tightly closed, and they could neither see nor hear any movement inside.
Could it be that the young master really believed the nonsense of those alchemists?
The two were worried, but they didn't dare to disturb them.
The most taboo thing in martial arts training is being interrupted by others. At the very least, all previous efforts will be wasted, and at worst, you may even go insane.
Helplessly, he could only look at Azhu next to him again.
Gong Yeqian asked, "Sister Ah Zhu, do you suspect that the young master has been deceived by those alchemists and is not practicing in seclusion, but is chanting scriptures and drawing talismans in there?"
Ah Zhu shook his head: "I don't know."
Gong Yeqian asked again: "Where did you go before you went into seclusion? Who did you meet?"
Ah Zhu shook his head again: "I don't know."
Gong Ye Qian said: "You don't know this, you don't know that, then what do you know?"
Ah Zhu was anxious and annoyed by the question: "Second Brother Gongye, Ah Zhu is just a servant, how dare I gossip about you! If the young master hadn't eaten anything for so many days, I wouldn't have told you this!"
Deng Baichuan tried to smooth things over: "Okay, second brother, don't embarrass Sister Zhu! We'll wait here. If the young master doesn't come out within two days, we'll have to go in and take a look even if it means interrupting his practice."
Gongye Qian naturally knew that what Ah Zhu did was right, but he was worried about Murong Fu, which made him very anxious.
He first said, "Okay, I'll listen to you, big brother! When the time comes, we'll go together. If the young master blames us, we'll bear the responsibility together."
He looked at Ah Zhu again, full of apology: "Sister Ah Zhu, my second brother was a little anxious just now, please don't be angry with him!"
Although Ah Zhu and Ah Bi were maids in name, they were actually half-daughters adopted by the master and his mistress, and were carefully brought up since childhood.
Especially in the past three years, after the lady and the master passed away one after another, they not only had to take care of the daily life of the master, but also had to deal with various affairs of the manor.
In addition to helping each other, the brothers also treated Azhu and Abi as their sisters.
Gong Yeqian asked, "Where is that girl A-Bi? She usually doesn't care about you the most, why haven't you seen her today?"
Ah Zhu said, "Ah Bi caught a cold a few days ago and has not recovered yet. She is worried that the disease will pass on to the young master, so she has been living in Qinyun Lodge these days and doesn't know about this."
Deng Baichuan asked with concern: "Is Sister A-Bi's condition serious? Do you want me to send someone to Suzhou City to invite Doctor An?"
Ah Zhu hurriedly shook her head and said, "No need to trouble Doctor An. Ah Bi has gotten much better these days. She took some medicine this morning and sweated a lot. I think she will be almost well now."
As the three were talking, they suddenly heard a clicking sound of a mechanism rotating. A look of joy appeared on their faces, and they quickly walked out of the side hall and headed towards the door of the quiet room.
The door slowly opened and a man in his twenties walked out. He had a handsome face and an elegant demeanor. It was the Young Master Murong Fu they had been talking about.
"Young Master!" Deng Baichuan and the other two went to greet him.
"Brother Deng, Brother Gongye Qian, why are you here?"
Murong Fu, or more precisely, Li Anran who had traveled through time, asked.
On that day, he took advantage of the system's opportunity to travel through time at Huashan, pretending to be a ghost and creating the illusion that he had ascended to heaven in broad daylight, giving the Huashan Sect a golden body. He then traveled through time to this world and became Murong Fu, the owner of Chanhe Manor in Yanziwu, west of Gusu City.
The descendants of the Xianbei Murong clan who established the "Yan Kingdom" during the Sixteen Kingdoms period. The reason why this point is emphasized is that the Murong clan attaches great importance to this bloodline and is obsessed with restoring the country.
The "Fu" in Murong Fu's name comes from this!
Li Anran was speechless at that time!
This world is now the Song Dynasty. It has been nearly seven hundred years since the Yan Kingdom established by the Murong clan, or even the more recent Later Yan.
The Murong clan intermarried with the Han people from generation to generation, and both in terms of blood and appearance, they have been completely sinicized.
If they shout "Revival of Great Yan", most people will just be confused and ask: "Which dynasty is Great Yan? The one where Jing Ke assassinated Qin?"
But Murong still kept this matter as a huge secret, hiding it for fear that others would know!
What made Li Anran even more speechless was that their minds were full of thoughts about restoring their country, but they neither tried to expand their bloodline by various means, nor pursued a career in politics to become officials and command the military and power.
It has been passed down from generation to generation!
Moreover, he did not study classics or history, did not read military books, did not hide weapons and armor, and did not store food and supplies. He spent all day hanging out in the martial arts world, busy collecting martial arts from various schools and factions.
If Li Anran had not obtained Murong Fu's memory and confirmed that they were all normal people, he would have suspected that there was something wrong with their brains!
Li Anran had some vague impression of the name "Murong Fu".
He had seen this character on TV when he was a child. He should be a character in Jin Yong's novel, and a villain at that.
This time he did not completely escape from the world of Smiling Proud Wanderer, but came to the world of Smiling Proud Wanderer hundreds of years ago!
But back then, he was only interested in cartoons and game consoles. He had very little impression of this kind of martial arts drama and knew nothing about the plot.
I only remember a few names like Xiao Feng, Duan Yu, Xu Zhu, Wang Yuyan, etc.
But it doesn’t matter anymore!
What happens in this world has little to do with him!
He only wants to cultivate immortality now!
When the [Moves] were upgraded to the maximum level, they were advanced to [Taoism], directly transforming him from a martial artist to a cultivator, and at the same time, it also gave him the opportunity to travel to another world!
This means that [internal strength], [body skills], [Qihuang], [calligraphy]... are all the same!
As long as it can be upgraded to the maximum level, it will become a skill for cultivating immortals!
Li Anran got excited just thinking about it.
Practicing martial arts is a dead end!
Cultivating immortals is different!
It is possible to live for a thousand or eight hundred years or even achieve immortality!
And he has the experience panel, so as long as he keeps practicing, he can keep improving!
As long as he has enough time, he will be able to become an immortal sooner or later and live forever!
The biggest problem now is that his [Internal Power] is only at level 8. He can only gain 11352 experience points every day by running it on his own. To upgrade it to level 10, it will take 87210 days, or 238 years!
If he wanted to make a stable breakthrough, he had to either find a way to improve his skills and gain more experience every day, or go to another world before he died of old age.
The former is very difficult!
Judging from Murong Fu’s memory, the overall martial arts level of this world is higher than that of the world of Smiling Proud Wanderer, but the top level is not much different!
The "Wuji Sutra" that he is practicing now has already integrated the supreme martial arts classics such as "Sunflower Manual" and "Tai Chi Boxing Sutra". It is extremely difficult to make any further breakthroughs.
In comparison, it is simpler and more reliable to go to another world!
The system has given the conditions for going to the next world——
Improve ten skills to the maximum level!
As long as he did this, he could travel through time again and live his life again. Then it would be much easier to raise his [Internal Strength] to the maximum level.
However, before that, Li Anran couldn't help but study Taoism.
It is different from practicing martial arts which have ready-made martial arts secrets.
[Taoist Magic] He couldn't find anything to refer to, and the only thing he could think of was the famous Seventy-two Earthly Magics.
Among the 72 Earthly Fiends, those that could communicate with the spirit world, exorcise spirits, carry mountains, and make rain were too abstruse and he had no idea what to do with them. He could only start with simpler ones like swordsmanship and talisman water.
So he asked Azhu and Abi to get him Taoist scriptures, yellow paper, cinnabar, wooden sword and other items, and began to practice in seclusion.
It was only until just now that he had used up all the yellow paper that he opened the door and walked out.
Then, I saw Deng Baichuan and Gong Ye Qian.
