Longevity: Starting as a Sect Servant-Chapter 444 - 261: Fifty Years on Evergreen Peak (Long - )_4

Chapter 444: Chapter 261: Fifty Years on Evergreen Peak (Long Chapter)_4

Zhao Nangeng pondered for a moment and nodded, "If that’s the case, we won’t disturb him in the future."

"Brother Long, Xie Yang, let’s not bother Senior Brother anymore, let’s go first－－"

Long Lü and Xie Yang wanted to say something, but they had no choice but to follow Zhao Nangeng out.

Just as they were about to leave, Zhao Nangeng suddenly added, "Senior Brother, there’s one more thing."

"Didn’t we invite Junior Sister Chen Ning to handle your birthday matters these past few days? She’s been busy, and when we went to find Li An, Junior Sister Chen Ning was helping him organize the Spirit Field."

After saying this, he was about to leave, but Song Qingsong suddenly looked up sharply and said, "What?－－"

...

In the following period, Li An continued his cultivation as usual, interacting with Song Qingsong without any abnormalities. On Song Qingsong’s birthday, he even sent a rather heavy gift.

He combined hardness with softness, hitting Long Lü to make him understand, but not to completely sour the relationship.

At the same time, he sensitively perceived the relationship between Chen Ning and Song Qingsong. When Chen Ning later came to see him, he often used closed-door cultivation as an excuse not to meet her.

He wasn’t afraid of Song Qingsong, but there was truly no need to cause trouble for a woman.

Seeing this, Song Qingsong also didn’t make things difficult for him.

"Brother Zhao, are we just going to let this go?"

Long Lü grew increasingly angry, feeling humiliated as a cultivator from the Divinity Transformation Stage after being slapped by someone... He couldn’t swallow this anger!

"Li An, that coward, willingly gave Senior Brother some face, and Senior Brother, high on his status, was even less inclined to target him..."

Xie Yang said coldly, "We can only challenge him!"

"Are you crazy? When the time comes, Xiang Yuntian..."

Long Lü expressed some fear.

"What are you afraid of? Wait for him to recover, and you can openly challenge him one-on-one. Xiang Yuntian won’t say anything... Are you afraid of Li An?"

Zhao Nangeng smiled slightly, "Don’t forget, if we don’t seize this chance with Li An, we’ll never have the opportunity to touch the Immortal Technique..."

Their target was the Immortal Technique!

Within the Dao Sect, there are Immortal Techniques, but unless one is a True Disciple or a Great Dao Disciple, there is simply no chance to encounter them!

Though the Dao Sect promotes following the natural order and accepting one’s destiny, how many who embark on the path of cultivation can truly see through things? Especially among them, although not True Disciples, they were considered geniuses, and naturally felt dissatisfied.

Li An possesses a "Cyan Wood Immortal Skill" that doesn’t belong to the Dao Sect. As long as they obtain it through reasonable means, the Dao Sect wouldn’t interfere!

This was their only chance.

Even their previous attempt was to take advantage of Song Qingsong’s birthday to force Li An to hand it over, primarily for their own benefits, hoping to use Song Qingsong’s banner to make Li An comply, only to find that Li An paid them no mind.

Long Lü said, "Am I afraid of him?"

He was filled with resentment, "Just a remnant of the Demon Dao..."

"I’ve already invited a healer from Huichun Peak to come over. As soon as the healer says he’s recovered, he must accept the challenge..."

Zhao Nangeng smiled slightly.

When the practitioner from Huichun Peak came to treat Li An’s injuries, Li An immediately understood something.

The healer informed Li An that his injuries weren’t severe, only minor injuries to his meridians when the Sect Leader abolished his cultivation, which would heal after half a year of care.

Upon hearing this, Li An hesitated for a moment, and after the healer left, he deliberately enlarged the cracks in his meridians...

...

Three months later.

Healer: "Why has this gotten worse?"

The female practitioner was perplexed and said, "Could it be that my medical skills are lacking? It shouldn’t be... With careful rehabilitation, you could recover in at most two years."

Two years later.

Healer: "...You can recover in five years."

Zhao Nangeng and others: "Damn it..."

"Bastard... I’ve never seen such a shameless True Disciple!"

"He’s completely tarnished the reputation of a True Disciple!"

They were all dumbfounded; they had never seen someone play it like this...

Which True Disciple would act so shamelessly, using such tricks to avoid a fight!

...

In truth, in terms of cultivation, Li An wasn’t afraid of Long Lü and the others.

Even if the three of them attacked together, he had the confidence to defeat them!

But it was unnecessary.

Li An’s sole purpose in coming to the Dao Sect was to cultivate quietly. Even if he faced opponents with a lower level than his, he would avoid conflicts whenever possible.

Engaging in battles for fame and profit was meaningless to him.

Fully utilizing the rules to bring himself peaceful cultivation was the most important thing.

...

In the blink of an eye, fifty years had passed.

For fifty years, Li An lived in seclusion, usually interacting only with Xiang Yuntian and the others, rarely engaging with the outside world.

Furthermore, for fifty years, his injuries had not healed...

And he was still registered at Huichun Peak, making his avoidance of battle more justifiable...

This left Zhao Nangeng and his group utterly speechless, even breaking down mentally...

For fifty years, he had adapted to the cultivation rhythm of the Dao Sect, maintaining a steady level, still in the mid-stage of Divinity Transformation.

His cave abode had become even more perfected, with two Rank Four Arrays already set up—though he had mastered the creation of Rank Five Arrays, he chose to hide his prowess.

In reality, even Rank Four Arrays were unnecessary, as the Dao Sect was quite safe with abundant resources, yet his defensive habits persisted.

Talisman brushes and such had also been acquired, but he relaxed on the path of Alchemy, as Alchemy, despite being desirable in the outside world, was not preferred in the Dao Sect.

Anyone who sought to cultivate using Pills would be scorned; it was prohibited by the sect rules, so even if he made them, he wouldn’t dare consume them, nor would anyone buy them.

This forced him to exclaim that the Dao Sect had broadened his horizons.

The strength of a sect is determined not by a singularly talented cultivator or a magical artifact.

What’s more important is a sustained and enduring ecological system!

This ecological system continuously produces powerful figures and talents.

"Generally speaking, if the Harmonization Dao Realm is strong enough, it could summon heavenly thunder, and although rare, Void Refinement Realm also triggers heavenly thunder."

"According to records, during the breakthrough of the Void Refinement Realm, if the Thunder Dao Stone is used, it might attract a Celestial Tribulation!"

"But, the Void Refinement Realm, where Yin and Yang haven’t harmonized, a typical cultivator’s vitality can’t withstand it, and only a few have survived, usually due to possessing life-saving sacred objects."

"I, with the Life Nourishing Immortal Skill as my foundation, my vitality far exceeds that of ordinary people, it should be feasible!"

Over many years, Li An finally found a way to attract a Celestial Tribulation from the Dao Sect’s ancient texts.

The complete Life Nourishing Immortal Skill could lead to eternity, with its core being the tempering of the Life Seed using the power of heaven and earth.

"There’s still a long time ahead; I must stockpile a large quantity of life-saving Spirit Pills and elixirs, while also figuring out how to obtain a Thunder Dao Stone..."

Li An now had a goal.

"In addition, my natal magic treasure has officially begun to take shape..."

Within his Dantian, a miniature stone coffin was stored.

After years of nurturing, he could already fully control this stone coffin.

The Immortal Coffin contained a vast space, capable of expanding and contracting. At its smallest, it could only accommodate one person lying flat, while at its largest, it could cover an area of approximately three thousand miles.

Moreover, this item was truly a supreme treasure, forming a small world of its own.

Li An already had preliminary ideas for his magic treasure!

This treasure had two advantages: indestructibility and the ability to contain items.

"If I were to fill the Immortal Coffin with Talismans, Talisman brushes, poisons, Evil Qi, Miasma, Celestial Fire, Weak Water, etc., and unleash them in battle, what kind of scene would that be?"

Imagining this picture made Li An think...

It would be incredible.

Additionally, he even planned to transform this Immortal Coffin into a small world suitable for cultivation!

If he could find a high-quality small Spirit Vein to place inside, perhaps he could undertake cultivation within the coffin in the future?

"Second Senior Brother,"

At this moment, Chen Ning walked in from outside, while Li An feigned closed-door cultivation and continued to ignore her.

"Second Senior Brother, I am about to get engaged to Senior Brother, here to deliver an invitation－－"

Upon hearing this, Li An finally activated the array, saying, "Junior Sister, please come in－－"

Fifty years had passed, and Chen Ning’s appearance hadn’t changed; she was the same as before when entering Li An’s cave abode.

"Congratulations to Junior Sister on your happy union－－"

Li An spoke with a smile.

But Chen Ning gazed at Li An intently and said, "Second Senior Brother, I haven’t agreed to Senior Brother yet."

Li An was momentarily stunned; what did Chen Ning mean by this?

...

Good night.
