Huh? Isn't this an adventure kingdom building game?!-Chapter 701 - 685: Speaking of the Immortals

Chuci truly lives up to his reputation with full buffs. He’s inherently a super-rich second generation and is also listed under his dad’s friends, spending his days eating, drinking, fishing, and having tea with clients. Any restaurant he approves of is sure to have even the simplest tomato scrambled eggs taste quite exceptional.

Of course, this dish was ordered especially to cater to Li Tiezhu.

With the table full of king crabs, lobsters, chicken, duck, and fish, it would be pretty pitiful to leave him with just some pickled vegetables and rice.

After three rounds of dishes and five of drinks, Huang San had drunk a little too much and directly revealed his true form as he stood on the table, opening up to talk.

"Our young friend here is a straightforward person. The first time we met, he gave me two sticks of top-quality incense. Now, I might be considered a senior, but with Tiezhu by my side, I always have to be frugal, and I don’t have anything valuable to return the favor with. Since you’re so eager to learn, let me tell you some of the miscellaneous tales I’ve heard."

He adjusted his little glasses and burped, not minding that Chuci and Li Tiezhu could see and hear him, boldly continuing, "I’ve had a bit to drink, but I promise I won’t talk nonsense or brag.

I’m kind of a late bloomer with shallow knowledge in the ways, but fortunately, I found Tiezhu, who’s suitable for the Top Immortal role, and it’s fate for both of us. I have to manage things carefully for him and not deceive him, right?

So, over the past few years, I’ve run around a lot to make connections and consult with the old seniors, and I’ve heard a lot of interesting stories from them. You can take them as you will; after all, I don’t even know if they’re true."

Jiang Yuan worried it might fall down, quickly got up to tidy the dishes on the table, giving it more space to perform.

Huang San didn’t hold back, kicked the tissue box over, and sat on it, pulling out a small teapot from his pocket, sipping tea with a slurp, "No matter the sect or school, entering the door involves a phase of meditation.

For some, the requirements are high, and one must meditate for at least three years to prove they can sit still, settle their heart, and tame their wandering mind before taking on disciples.

It’s the same for us, right? Taking the time each day to meditate, adjust breathing and energy flow. I can’t do it; some old seniors have developed strong spirituality and can achieve astral projection during meditation.

No one tells me exactly where they go during astral projection.

I once heard an elder mention in casual conversation that our world is wrapped in a thick layer of magical force, tightly sealed, and only spiritualities cultivated to a certain level can temporarily break through it.

The benefit is that it’s hard for external demons or heretical paths to invade;

The drawback is if one’s cultivation isn’t adequate, they can’t break through the barrier to reach higher levels of power.

In other words, 99.9999% of all beings in the world are trapped here, endlessly reincarnating. Later, I saw Tiezhu’s phone mentioning scientists discovering dark matter, which matched the elder’s description exactly!"

The conversation became very interesting, and Chuci perked up to listen attentively.

Li Tiezhu, hearing Huang grandpa proactively talk about these matters for the first time, also paused his chopsticks, waiting to hear more.

"Third Master advises, young friend, if you ever manage astral projection and discover that layer of force, don’t panic or be afraid.

Some who don’t understand might not know what to do when encountering obstacles or get tangled up and panic, damaging their spirituality and injuring themselves.

If you can break through, go out; if not, come back, knowing this exists to avoid taking detours."

Jiang Yuan quickly expressed his gratitude; these are words of experience—true or not, it’s a kind reminder worth remembering, just in case one encounters such a situation. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Huang San downed some tea, finding it insufficient, and picked up a bottle with his little paw, gulping down some spirits.

The liquor Chuci brought was quite potent; it stuck out its little tongue, exclaiming "sizzle-ha sizzle-ha" in satisfaction, then continued to speak to itself: "Since we’re in this line of work, you’ll inevitably run into others in the profession later on.

I don’t know much about the rest, but let me enlighten you on the situation in our neck of the woods.

First, there’s our Huang Family, though I call myself the Yellow Immortal, I actually have a pretty good temperament, and you can chat and eat with us. Most yellow weasels have bad tempers, are narrow-minded, and retaliate over the slightest grievances.

If you encounter others like them in the future, stay on your toes. Offending them can be trouble! If they possess you, it’s either hysterics or insanity; they always have ways to disgust you, and the more aggressive ones might go eye-for-an-eye.

But don’t be afraid, if you’re unsure or can’t beat them, come to Third Master. I’ve got some skills, and if they’re not enemies, I can generally help resolve the issue."

Chuci hurriedly took the opportunity to ask: "I always hear about the yellow weas... I mean Yellow Immortals asking for a seal, is it true? What should you do if you encounter one?"

"You won’t encounter them!" Huang San waved its paw, laughing heartily: "Asking for a seal is just yellow weasels borrowing human energy to gain benefit for themselves.

It used to happen in really remote areas, watching for a long time to find someone who looks like a good match to ask for a seal.

But it’s not as sinister as it’s made out to be—things like turning into a petite, long-haired space battleship girl are pure nonsense.

Some even claim that if they ask if it looks like an Immortal and you say it does, it becomes one—that’s just nonsense!

Saying someone is something doesn’t make it so; if that kind of energy were really that powerful, you’d already be an Immortal.

I never asked for a seal, self-taught through hard work, refined my own horizontal bone.

A long time ago, in our area with few people and vast forests, there might have been some who lived a long time, and like me, were a bit eager and ran off to ask for a seal.

If you really meet one, you can excuse the human aura and say it looks like a person. If you encounter one that knows gratitude, it might give you some benefits. If it neither knows nor harms, at least it won’t cause trouble;

If you don’t want to provoke it, just pretend you haven’t heard it and leave quickly, it won’t do anything. But if you insist on calling it a big rat, ruining its affairs, and meet one with a small mind, it’ll surely make trouble for you.

The world today, human technology is developing too fast. Just look around, where is there such a vast place?

The wild ones, occasionally a bit accomplished, dare not seek incense casually. They find a suitable family to be worshiped by and do not venture out easily;

The Huang Family has a hereditary system, passing down worship through generations, without needing to seek incense. You can regard it as a story; without a Top Immortal physique, it’s impossible to encounter it in reality."

Jiang Yuan thought for a while, didn’t seem to have seen demon cultivators of the Huang type in the wilderness, but there were quite a lot of fox types. So he casually asked, "What about the Hu family? Do they not need to seek incense?"

Huang San took another sip of wine, his eyes squinting with delight, "The Hu family is quite formidable, their business and home are vast now!

What can you do when fox spirits are good-looking and sweet-talking? They’re all incredibly pretty, regardless of age or gender. However, the Hu family doesn’t need to seek incense, they practice the art of the inner core.

If you are fated, on a deep, quiet, moonlit night, you might see a small fireball rising and falling in the deep woods.

Some are small and light red, while others are slightly larger red balls with a layer of blue flame outside, can fly about two or three zhang (about 6-10 meters), slowly rising and falling like worshipping the moon, absorbing the power of the moon to refine their inner core.

In the past, daring forest guards used to bring hunting dogs to snatch cores. If the core were snatched, this Fox Immortal’s cultivation would count for nothing; if they failed, both sides would have to fight.

It’s said that the Hu family’s inner core can cure all ailments but consumes their cultivation. I haven’t seen it, so I’m not sure. I’ve only seen fierce fighters, damn it..."

Saying so, Huang San scratched the back of his neck.

Jiang Yuan noticed an inconspicuous hairless scar there, thinking perhaps a Fox Immortal scratched it?

"Isn’t Immortal Bai the one skilled in healing? Great Immortal, do you have any connections that can help facilitate medical treatment and healing?" Chuci looked at Li Tiezhu curiously, thinking, healing such severe injuries must be quite remarkable!

Hearing the mention of Immortal Bai, Huang San frowned, "The Bai family, how to say, has the best temper but is the slowest to respond and doesn’t like dealing with outsiders.

Using the current popular young people’s terms, they’re loners and social phobics. Immortal Bai is like a hedgehog; you all know hedgehogs hibernate in winter, right?

Immortal Bai cannot escape the laws of nature, they are sluggish, moving slowly, and in winter, they retreat to hibernate. At a certain stage, they must cross a boundary.

Do you know how Immortal Bai crosses this boundary?"

Scanning the room with his eyes, he found everyone shaking their heads, so Huang San grinned and shook his head, "At the critical stage, they have to find a wheel track to rest in!

In the old days, with those big carts, you young ones probably haven’t seen them, wooden carts drawn by horses and mules.

The type of cart encountered was random; they couldn’t choose themselves, leaving it to fate. If the cart was light with few goods, rolling over would let them survive and deepen their cultivation;

But if it was full and heavy, rolling over them meant death, their cultivation wasted completely.

Think about it, how can they withstand this crossing today?

Damn all those small cars on the streets; even the simplest are the three-wheeled ones made of iron. Who the heck can withstand that?

Old ones with deep cultivation might manage a three-wheeler by sheer endurance, but with bad luck facing a mud truck or large vehicle, even if they were trained in copper and iron, they’d be knocked flying a couple of miles away;

The young ones attempting the crossing usually don’t survive, which is why you’ll see fewer Immortal Bai around.

The one who treated Tiezhu’s injuries was an elder I knew before, who doesn’t act, only protects families. Those who worship the Bai Family as Family Guardian Immortal benefit from healing and wealth, and Immortal Bai has a good temper; both parties continue harmoniously.

This time, seeing Tiezhu badly injured and afraid of lasting effects, I sought the elder’s help. Ordinarily, they don’t bother with anything, not even requests from worshipping collateral kin can reach them, yet..." he paused, looking at Jiang Yuan, chuckling, "If more fine incense were given, they might listen."

"Brother!" Chuci immediately turned his burning eyes toward his golden support and immense fortune, saying, "Leave me more fine incense."

Jiang Yuan thought of the pets in the small courtyard, all eager to connect with Xiang Mountain, nodded with difficulty, "Mainly the raw materials are hard to find, but I’ll try my best."

Hearing this, Huang San glanced at Li Tiezhu, then at the luxury brand watch on Chuci’s wrist, sighed lightly.

It’s a pity; not everyone can become a Top Immortal. A fortunate and wealthy young master like Chuci certainly can’t. Finding a suitable physique is rare, and willingness is another matter.

Some Immortal Families are unwilling to search more, if a family is reluctant to act, they’ll cause disturbances at home until they can’t stand it and finally agree to let the Top Immortal act.

He thought it inappropriate, believing that good discussions and negotiations establish better relationships.

So after meeting Li Tiezhu, he first observed and then probed, reaching a consensus, forming a "Ghost Hunter combination." He took on jobs and handled things himself, living busily but satisfactorily.

To enjoy good incense, he had to figure out a way for Tiezhu to accumulate blessings. Huang San felt this was fate, thinking maybe Heaven arranged for him to meet Tiezhu to help him out, preventing him from ignorantly causing his own downfall too early.
