Chapter 10: I can’t cultivate immortality?

Lu Xiuyuan's jaw dropped instantly. It turned out that the old man in front of him was already over 80 years old, and he himself didn't even realize it. Is this the benefit of cultivating immortals?

The old hunter saw that Lu Xiuyuan was seriously surprised, but he did not recover and continued: "Through my observations these days, I see that you are also upright and kind. After seeing that you are indeed an ordinary person, I also dispelled my doubts. If you have anything to ask, tell me."

Lu Xiuyuan asked quickly, "Grandpa, you may not believe me if I tell you that I am not from this world. I was on the bus going home that day, and suddenly there was a thick fog, and then I came here in a daze. Do you know how I can get back?"

The old hunter thought for a while and replied, "Big bus, what kind of magic weapon is this? I'm not sure. You said you are not from this world and came here because of an accident. I don't know how to find your way back. But you can go to the nearby Beishan Town to ask around. Remember to ask the immortal cultivators. Even if you ask ordinary people, they won't know."

Beishan Town is located in front of Beishan Mountain. It is the largest town in the vicinity. It is named after Beishan Mountain and is a gathering place for ordinary people and monks nearby. It has markets, restaurants, and auction houses. It is indeed a good place for Lu Xiuyuan, who urgently needs to find out information and find out the ins and outs of things.

The old hunter paused and continued, "But it is not easy for ordinary people to meet immortal cultivators. When you meet an immortal cultivator, you must be respectful and behave properly. You cannot call him Heavenly Master or Immortal. You have to call him Immortal Family to be polite. If you call the immortal cultivator Lao Deng like you call me, you will see. Immortal cultivators can tell fortunes. They predict that one night you will be hit by a meteorite and die."

Lu Xiuyuan said: "Don't worry, Grandpa, I will definitely keep your instructions in mind. I have another question to ask."

The old hunter said, "Just ask whatever questions you have. I will tell you everything I know. These are not secrets. You can find out from other places."

Lu Xiuyuan said in a sly way: "Since cultivating immortals is so powerful, can I cultivate immortals as well?"

The old hunter looked at him and said calmly, "No."

"Why? Why can you cultivate immortality but I can't? I also want to become stronger," Lu Xiuyuan said excitedly.

Perhaps because he had seen this many times, the old hunter was no longer surprised. He said in a serious tone, "The cultivation of immortals depends on one's spiritual roots. Some people have a single spiritual root, some have five spiritual roots, and some have heavenly spiritual roots. Their spiritual roots can be good or bad, strong or weak. It depends on the situation. According to the spiritual roots, one can choose the appropriate cultivation method. You are different. You have no spiritual roots, or rather, I can't see your spiritual roots."

Such an answer made Lu Xiuyuan very discouraged. In a world of cultivating immortals, whoever has a higher realm, stronger skills, and more magic weapons will surely be the king. How come I can't even perform the most basic practice now?

Lu Xiuyuan still didn't give up and said, "Grandpa, can you help me? Can I really not cultivate immortality?"

The old hunter couldn't persuade him, so he had to rummage through boxes and drawers and found a small book with a yellowed cover. On it were four large characters faintly written: "Qi Hua Wan Qian".

Lu Xiuyuan was stunned. What kind of operation was this? Shouldn't this kind of immortal cultivation technique be displayed in a very grand manner? Is it possible for ordinary people to see such a hard-earned technique in their lifetime? Oh my God, I am so lucky.

Lu Xiuyuan took the book with shining eyes and said, "Thank you, Grandpa. I hope you don't need this book right away. I want to read it for a few more days."

The old hunter looked at me with disdain, as if he was looking at a fool. He waved his hand and said, "It's ok, take your time to read it. I'll give this book to you. You can practice it anytime you want."

Lu Xiuyuan was overjoyed, jumping up and down like a child, thinking to himself, "I'm a college student, how can I not understand this little book? It's a joke. Watch me learn it for you in minutes."

Lu Xiuyuan was concentrating on watching, holding the Qi Transformation into Thousands in his hand, but his heart was getting colder and colder. The first sentence of this cultivation secret book "Qi Transformation into Thousands" "Qi Transformation into Thousands, All Things Return to One. Take Qi as the basis, take transformation as the way, connect heaven and earth, nothing is without me" made him confused. How can Qi achieve so many effects, not to mention the Dantian, Qi Sea, Shenzang and so on below, which are not what it says at all.

Although this was a secret book for beginners, Lu Xiuyuan really didn't understand it. Could it be that the lack of spiritual roots really led to an insurmountable obstacle in cultivation?

As he carefully studied the secret book, the cultivation methods in it gradually appeared before his eyes. However, Lu Xiuyuan realized that this was not just a simple book, but a cultivation guide that required spiritual roots to support. He felt lonely in his heart, as if he was blocked outside the door of cultivation by an invisible wall.

In the dim light of the cabin, Lu Xiu looked at the secret book in his hand and sighed helplessly. He understood that although the book contained profound cultivation methods, his body could not blend with the natural energy. The lack of spiritual roots was like a closed door, turning his desire for the secret book into a trace of helplessness.

However, Lu Xiuyuan was not completely discouraged, but chose to treat this "Qi Hua Wan Qian" as a precious book of knowledge. Although he could not practice the methods in it personally, he decided to deepen his understanding of nature by learning the theories in it, and perhaps find his own way of practice in other aspects.

The old hunter looked at Lu Xiuyuan and saw the disappointment in his eyes. He said gently: "Young man, cultivation is not something that can be achieved overnight, and not everyone can master it. But don't be discouraged. The world is unpredictable, and there may be more adventures waiting for you in the future."

Lu Xiuyuan lowered his head in deep thought. The old hunter continued, "This "Qi Hua Wan Qian" may not be of any use to you at the moment, but it may be useful someday in the future. You don't have to treasure it, because almost everyone here has this book."

Lu Xiuyuan was speechless after hearing this. I thought it was some powerful high-level martial arts, but it turned out to be an introductory reading here. I can’t even understand this. It seems that I am really not suitable for cultivation.

The old hunter looked at Lu Xiuyuan and said, "There are many people and monks in Beishan Town. They may have the answers you want." After hearing this, Lu Xiuyuan nodded firmly. Although this road is tortuous and difficult after all, I must go on. I am still young and have plenty of time. I must live well in this world, make myself stronger, and find a way to return to the real world.

Lu Xiuyuan said to the old hunter, "Grandpa, thank you for telling me all this. It has given me some understanding of this world. I will not leave immediately. I will stay and take care of you. After your leg injury is healed, I will go to Beishan Town."
