Immortality Starts With Diligence(Xianxia Litrpg)

61. Martial Artists Cannot Achieve Longevity

Lin Fei had always had a thought in his mind, to become a Qi cultivator.

The reason was simple, lifespan!

It was rumored that Qi cultivator experts could achieve longevity. But what about martial artists? Even innate martial artists could only live for a little over a hundred years.

Of course, low-level Qi cultivators were probably similar to martial artists. But what about high-level ones? There was always hope for longevity.

On the other hand, no matter how powerful a martial artist was, no matter how mysterious their martial arts were, they would still turn into a handful of dirt after a hundred years.

Martial artists couldn't achieve longevity.

"Well..."

Lin Miao smiled bitterly and said, "Second Young Master, you've also read the Zombie-refining Technique. There's no record of how ordinary people become Qi cultivators. So, I don't know how someone without the aptitude for Qi cultivator can become one. Moreover, I remember the young master asked me this question before..."

Lin Fei fell silent. He had indeed asked Lin Miao about it before. But Lin Miao only had a vague understanding of the Qi cultivator before.

"Lin Miao, have you not discovered anything during your time in the Lin Family?" There was a glint in Lin Fei's eyes as he stared at Lin Miao.

Lin Miao was a smart person. He immediately understood what Lin Fei meant.

Lin Miao quickly knelt down and said, "Second Young Master, I've always been loyal to the Lin Family and to you."

"Alright, tell me about your discoveries."

Lin Fei asked calmly, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

Lin Miao took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Second Young Master, I have indeed made some new discoveries during my recent practice. Especially after setting up the Yin Gathering Formation, I vaguely realized that the Zombie-refining Technique is incomplete."

"Hmm? What do you mean?" Lin Fei raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Young Master, martial artists have realms. Body Refining, acquired, innate, and these are all complete realms. So based on my speculation, there must have other realms above Qi Condensation.

After all, just relying on Qi Condensation, it is impossible to have a long lifespan and live for a long time like the legends.

At the Qi Condensation level, one still experiences aging, sickness, and death, and there is not much difference from ordinary people.

But the Zombie-refining Technique does not have the next step. That is to say, if one practices the Zombie-refining Technique, they may never be able to reach the realm above Qi Condensation.

I don't know if this is a limitation of the Zombie-refining Technique itself or if it is incomplete."

Lin Miao's discovery surprised Lin Fei.

Qi Condensation cannot get immortality? Or rather, the Qi Condensation realm cannot achieve immortality. One must reach a realm above Qi Condensation to do so. But what was above Qi Condensation?

Lin Fei did not know.

"Forget it, Lin Miao, focus on your cultivation. I will explore these secrets slowly when I am stronger in the future."

Lin Fei did not stay long and left because there was a Yin Gathering Formation there, which could cause problems for his body if he stayed too long in the secluded courtyard, even if he was an acquired martial artist.

After returning to his room, Lin Fei carefully thought about what Lin Miao had said. It seemed that achieving immortality was not that simple. Not every Qi cultivator could achieve immortality.

"Maybe I will naturally understand some of these secrets when I reach the innate level."

The night passed without any further discussion.

The next day, Lin Fei bid farewell to his parents. He had to return to the Nine Profound Sect.

On his way back, Lin Fei did not encounter any troubles and returned to the Nine Profound Sect smoothly.

Lin Fei first exchanged all his 300,000 silver tickets for contribution points. He suddenly had 300,000 contribution points.

"By the way, let's change the token first."

Lin Fei prepared to go to the transmission hall for certification. He would exchange his token for the acquired realm one.

Although both were for inner disciples, some tasks in the mission hall could only be undertaken by inner disciples with an acquired realm token. This token was the only measuring standard, and so it was very important.

Lin Fei arrived at the transmission hall and respectfully said to the elder there, "Elder, I have just broken through to the acquired realm and have come to be certified and change my token."

The elder in the transmission hall was somewhat surprised. Generally speaking, although inner disciples might not change their tokens with every level breakthrough, almost all of them at the ninth level of Body Refining would definitely come to change their tokens.

But what about Lin Fei?

He had gone directly from the seventh level of Body Refining to the acquired realm and only now had come to change his token. This was quite surprising!

In fact, it was not that Lin Fei was too patient but that he had just broken through to the acquired realm soon after reaching the seventh level of Body Refining and did not have time to go to the transmission hall for certification and to change his token.

The elder in the transmission hall took out an oval-shaped blue stone and said to Lin Fei, "Place your hand on the blue stone. Activate the inner power in your body. If you can leave a mark on the blue stone, the certification will be successful."

"I understand," Lin Fei nodded.

It seemed that this blue stone was quite special. Once inner power was activated, the blue stone would change. This made the certification process quite straightforward.

Otherwise, if each disciple came to be certified and tested each other's inner power, it would be very dangerous! If two martial artists' inner powers conflicted, there would be big trouble.

Therefore, Lin Fei placed his hand on the blue stone.

He activated a small amount of inner power and infused it into his palm, leaving a light imprint on the blue stone.
