"Cao Can, male, 92 years old, died after being pierced through the abdomen by a magical weapon!"
"Last wish: that my son Cao Hong escape the robbers' pursuit."
"Corpse rating: Extraordinary one star, reward: one Extraordinary Essence Blood Pill and eight Mana Pills!"
He was over ninety years old and died here. The world of cultivating immortals is really more lawless than the mortal world.
It is true that those who practice Taoism will not have a good end!
However, just as Chen Changsheng was sighing...
"Fulfill Cao Can's last wish, and Cao Can will give you his low-grade wood spiritual root!"
What the hell?
Is that it?
Chen Changsheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry...
If I remember correctly, this was probably the fastest time I had completed a Last Wish mission since I obtained the Corpse Collection Technique, and I didn't even do anything...
It's a pity that it's a low-grade wood spiritual root, I already have...
Oh, that's not right...
Will the qualifications of two low-grade wood spiritual roots be superimposed?
Chen Changsheng suddenly thought of a possibility...
Even with the Corpse Collection Technique, it is still very difficult to obtain high-quality spiritual roots.
Firstly, high-quality spirits are extremely rare, and the possibility of being picked up by oneself after death is even smaller.
Furthermore, there are the wishes of the deceased. Some wishes can only be looked at and are impossible to fulfill. Even if the wishes are fulfilled, it is not necessarily possible to obtain the other party's spiritual root qualifications as desired!
Chen Changsheng had even thought about it. At worst, he could return to the Great Zhou, take control of the country, complete more mortal's last wish missions, and extend his lifespan...
It's difficult to cultivate with low-grade spiritual roots, right?
Others take thirty years to reach the peak of Qi training. Can I do it in three hundred years?
Others take over a hundred years to cultivate the golden elixir. Can I do it in a thousand years?
As long as you live long enough, nothing is impossible!
Chen Changsheng is now cultivating immortality with this mentality.
But if one can improve his cultivation faster, who would refuse?
It sounds easy to practice Qi for three hundred years, but the world of cultivating immortals is so dangerous that most people find it difficult to die naturally. What if they die halfway?
"Give it a try. Hmm, whether the spiritual root aptitude has increased or not, you will know after practicing and testing it!"
The excited Chen Changsheng shot out a fireball, burning the corpse, and then found a hidden cave, put his five hearts facing the sky, and began to practice Changchun Gong.
As the technique was working, the surrounding spiritual energy began to slowly flow into Chen Changsheng's body. Suddenly, Chen Changsheng showed a look of surprise.
"Increased, the cultivation speed has increased!"
"Although it only increased the cultivation speed by about one tenth, which probably made up for the gap left by the appearance of the gold-attributed spiritual root, the spiritual root aptitude has indeed increased!"
"But, this shouldn't be a true mid-grade spiritual root."
"It is said that the cultivation speed of mid-grade spiritual roots is twice that of low-grade spiritual roots, and I have only increased it by one tenth..."
"In other words, as long as I obtain nine more low-grade wood spiritual roots as a last wish reward, I can truly advance to the middle-grade wood spiritual roots!"
"Nine more..."
Suddenly, Chen Changsheng felt that the cultivation method he had originally thought of seemed to be more reliable...
The immortal cultivator's last wish mission was not easy to complete, and the rewards after completing it were uncertain. Now, the spiritual root reward was limited, and it had to be a wood spiritual root...
Damn...
Unless he could become the king of the mountain like the Song family, then gather a large number of immortal cultivators, wait for them to die and collect their bodies, and then slowly fulfill their last wishes, otherwise, the spiritual root advancement would probably be a long way off...
Become the king of the mountain?
Without the strength of the Foundation Establishment Realm, it would be nothing but a joke.
This is really awkward...
The purpose of improving spiritual root qualifications is to build a foundation. Only after building a foundation can one occupy the mountain and become the king, keeping immortal cultivators in captivity to improve spiritual roots...
Rubbing his head in distress, Chen Changsheng temporarily gave up the unrealistic idea of occupying the mountain and becoming the king.
Right now, he was just a lowly cultivator at the fifth level of Qi training. With that kind of strength, let alone becoming the king of a mountain, even if he wanted to be a small follower, he would have to see if others were willing to accept him...
"It seems that for the time being, I can only let fate decide the matter of improving my spiritual root qualifications!"
"Let's go out and pick up corpses. What if I'm lucky enough to meet a cultivator with a mid-grade spiritual root, and then I happen to complete his last wish mission and also happen to obtain his mid-grade spiritual root?"
Chen Changsheng could only comfort himself in this way...
After a tour around the secret realm of Xishan, Chen Changsheng led more than ten people to collect the corpses, and it can be said that he had a fruitful harvest.
Of course, there were definitely more than a dozen immortal cultivators who died around the West Mountain Secret Realm. Some may have been burned to ashes, while others were found even closer to the West Mountain Secret Realm...
However, those places were too dangerous, and Chen Changsheng didn't dare to take the risk...
After wandering around and returning to the market town, Chen Changsheng went to Song City again, found Chen Hu, and got some intelligence information from him.
No matter how small a mosquito is, it’s still meat!
There is no reason not to accept the free super-grade Essence Blood Pills and Mana Pills!
What's more, there is a chance to complete those desired tasks and get some unexpected rewards.
Just like that, a few months passed...
In the past few months, the Xishan Secret Realm has been basically emptied. A large number of items from the Xishan Secret Realm have appeared in the hands of vendors in the market. Immortal cultivators from all over the country have also come to Shouyang Mountain to purchase. Chen Changsheng also likes to visit these stalls. When he comes across something he likes, he will not be stingy with his spirit stones.
"This is a top-notch magical weapon found in the West Mountain Secret Realm, the Black Gold Knife. It's only 20 Spirit Stones! It's a bloody sale!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Changsheng stepped forward to take a look. It was a mid-grade magical weapon with many holes in it. Only a fool would be fooled...
"Take a look, take a look, the martial arts found in the secret realm of Xishan originated from the Qingmu Sect a thousand years ago!" another vendor shouted.
"The Qingmu Sect's martial arts? Bring it here and see it!" Chen Changsheng said.
"Fellow Daoist, please take a look!" the vendor said, handing over a book...
"Five Elements Merit? This ink... is it new... Fellow Daoist is trying to trick me?"
Seeing the name and the ink on the book, Chen Changsheng couldn't help but frown.
"Fellow Daoist, you're joking. How could I possibly deceive you? This is truly a technique found in the West Mountain Secret Realm. It's the same technique that the low-level Qi training disciples of the Qingmu Sect practiced a thousand years ago."
"As for the ink... hehe, fellow Daoist, please forgive me, I was not originally selling it!" said the vendor with a chuckle.
Selling martial arts techniques is a very profitable business!
As long as you have one copy, you can copy the rest endlessly...
Of course, it is said that the more advanced techniques are not as simple as copying, but the low-level techniques are like this.
"Qingmu Sect, as the name suggests, should be a sect that mainly uses wood-attributed magical powers. What is the story behind this Five Elements Kung Fu? Why did it become the practice of the Qi-training disciples of Qingmu Sect?" Chen Changsheng asked.
"Fellow Daoist, these things happened thousands of years ago. How would I know about them? But it is certain that the Five Elements Kung Fu is the practice of the Qingmu Sect. This practice can directly cultivate to the initial stage of foundation building. It only costs ten spirit stones. Fellow Daoist, do you want it or not?" The vendor said a little impatiently.
"I'll take the five spirit stones, and you can keep the extra one!"
As Chen Changsheng spoke, five more spirit stones appeared in his hand...
"My fellow Daoist is really good at bargaining. He just cut the price in half..." the merchant said helplessly.
"Not selling? Then I'm leaving!"
Chen Changsheng said this, collected the spirit stone and walked away...
"Wait a minute, fellow Daoist. I'm selling it. I'm selling it. Five spirit stones. Take it, fellow Daoist!" said the vendor with a smile.
Five spirit stones, that’s a big profit!
Originally, with him, you could copy as much as you wanted. It was nothing more than a matter of writing. Even if you only sold it for a piece of broken spirit, it would be free profit!
"There is nothing missing from this technique, right?" Chen Changsheng said slowly.
"No, definitely not. It's all copied word for word. The original is right here. You can check it yourself!" said the vendor with a smile.
"Okay, I'll compare them!" said Chen Changsheng.
The vendor didn't take it seriously and directly took out a yellowed book from his storage bag. It was obvious that the book was quite old...
