Chapter 206 I want to become an immortal, with boundless magical power
"Goodbye, I don't want to start studying so soon. I came here to see how your cultivation is going."
Xia Yu walked forward without hesitation, sat down on another armchair, then reached out to take the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea.
“Huff~Huff~Slurp~Gulp~Tsk~, tui!”
After drinking a cup of tea and spitting out the tea leaves that accidentally got into his mouth, Xia Yu put down the cup and sighed, "This tea is good."
Zhongli watched Xia Yu finish his tea with a calm face the whole time, and then he said: "From a universal point of view, your way of drinking tea is very tasteless."
"Tsk, what's it to you? It's already very good that I didn't blow directly into the spout of the teapot." While saying this, Xia Yu poured himself another cup of tea, but this time he didn't drink it. Instead, he asked Zhongli.
"How is your cultivation going? Can you understand what I wrote? If you don't understand anything, you can ask me directly. As a senior, I will give you some pointers."
"Hmm..." After hearing this, Zhongli pondered for a moment, "Some parts are indeed very profound, but there are still some parts that I don't understand."
"Hehe, don't be embarrassed. As a senior cultivator, I won't laugh at you." Xia Yu picked up the teacup and took a sip. "Have you reached the Qi Refining Stage now? Can you sense spiritual energy?"
"As for realm..." Zhongli clenched his fists and felt the spiritual energy flowing through his body. "I should have reached the foundation-building realm. If I can survive the thunder tribulation, I should be at the golden elixir realm."
"puff--!"
As soon as these words came out, Xia Yu spat out a mouthful of tea, then stared at Zhongli in disbelief, and asked with some trembling: "What realm are you in?"
"Foundation Building, I can already feel the thunder tribulation, but I have been holding back and not striving for the Golden Core Stage. After all, I am more sensitive these days."
“…”
Xia Yu is a little autistic. Comparing yourself with others makes you feel depressed. Zhongli has already touched the golden elixir in just a few days, but it has taken him such a long time to just touch the edge of the golden elixir.
Why? They are all demon gods, why is he cultivating so slowly? He refused to accept it!
Zhongli, who was standing by, saw that Xia Yu suddenly stopped talking. Although he felt a little strange, he did not say anything, but continued to sip the fragrant tea in the cup.
These few days are indeed important to him, so he decided not to try to reach the Golden Core Realm for the time being, in order to avoid having too little energy to deal with some emergencies.
After a moment of silence, Xia Yu gritted his teeth and looked at Zhong Li's face, which was always indifferent, and said bitterly: "How come you are practicing so fast? It's not even a week yet."
"call……"
Zhongli first put down the teacup and exhaled a breath of hot air, then he stretched out his right hand. The next moment, powerful golden energy condensed from his palm.
Xia Yu looked at this energy and felt a little confused. This energy gave him a feeling similar to spiritual power, but it was not entirely spiritual power. Zhongli also explained.
"This is immortal power. It is a new type of energy that I obtained by purifying elemental power and removing elemental attributes. I named this energy immortal power. The source of power for those immortals is immortal power."
After saying that, Zhongli stretched out his left hand again. This time, rock-yellow energy condensed from his left hand. Xia Yu recognized this energy. It was the spiritual power he was familiar with. Zhongli spoke again.
"This is spiritual power, the energy I cultivated through the cultivation method you gave me."
The two energies were floating on Zhongli's hands. Feeling these two energies, Xia Yu had a guess in his mind.
"Can you transform immortal power into spiritual power?"
“That’s right.” Zhongli nodded, and collected both his immortal power and spiritual power at the same time. “I discovered that immortal power is just weakened spiritual power, so I practiced to refine the immortal power accumulated in my body for thousands of years into spiritual power, and my realm was easily raised.”
"Of course, it is impossible to refine all the immortal power of thousands of years in just a few days. I have only refined a very small part of it. The immortal power does make it convenient for me to cultivate without absorbing spiritual energy from the outside world."
After finishing speaking, Zhongli picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip of tea to moisten his throat.
After listening to Zhongli's explanation, Xia Yu collapsed weakly on the armchair. He thought he could become a senior in cultivating immortals, but he didn't expect that the other party had already figured out the method of cultivating immortals. Although it was only a simple purification and refining, it was a direct exploration from scratch.
He is worthy of being called the ancestor of all immortals. If there were no wear and tear and restrictions of the world, Zhongli might have already opened up a true path to becoming an immortal.
Alas, I can’t win, so I’ll just lie down .
"By the way, how are your bodies worn out after practicing Taoism?" Xia Yu suddenly asked. He didn't know if it was because his soul didn't belong to this world or because he didn't live long, but he didn't feel any wear and tear.
Therefore, he could only ask about wear and tear from those who could feel it most.
"The rate of wear and tear has slowed down." Zhongli said solemnly, "Although it is only a small amount, it has indeed slowed down."
As a demon god who has lived for more than 6,000 years, he has the deepest understanding of wear and tear, and knows best what wear and tear will bring. After all, his comrade-in-arms Ruota was sealed by him personally.
Therefore, even a slight slowdown would be a huge improvement for him.
"I have a feeling that the higher the realm of cultivation, the slower the rate of wear and tear will be. When I truly become an immortal, not only will the wear and tear stop, but the wear and tear of thousands of years will also recover by itself."
"Baalzeb's path is wrong. The path of cultivating immortals is the true eternal path." Zhongli suddenly sighed.
However, he did not help Baalzebub correct his wrong thoughts. Not to mention that the other party was a god from another country, the method of cultivating immortals was given to him by Xia Yu, and he would not pass it on to others without Xia Yu's permission.
"It really can slow down the wear and tear." Xia Yu said thoughtfully, "Then when are you going to survive the tribulation? I'll go and watch."
“Well…if nothing unexpected happens, let’s wait until the ceremony of sending off the immortals is over.” Zhongli replied.
"You are so relieved." Xia Yu looked out the window meaningfully, "What if Liyue fails the test?"
"It doesn't matter. I will do it."
Coincidentally, at this moment, the sky outside the window darkened, and a stormy atmosphere enveloped the entire Liyue land, as if it was a precursor to an approaching storm.
"Oh? It seems like it's about to begin." Xia Yu felt the sudden heavy pressure in the air and stood up from the armchair.
"What? You also want to participate in this chaos?" Zhongli asked Xia Yu who stood up.
"Of course." Xia Yu raised the corner of his mouth and looked at the gradually darkening sky outside the window. "After all, I love to join in the fun the most."
"Well ... I won't stop you, but please don't hinder this test of Liyue itself."
"I'm not idle." Xia Yu walked towards the door and shook his right hand. "Don't worry, I won't hinder your test of Li Yue. I just want to see an old friend and give him some heartfelt care."
