The old beggar's real name was Ji Hongyun, a very bookish name, and he was indeed born into a scholarly family, a third-generation Jinshi, and he lived up to his family's expectations and became the number one scholar.

However, when he returned home after walking around the streets, what he saw was a pile of ruins, and none of his family members were spared, and all of them died.

The reason for his genocide was also very simple. Two monks had a dispute in the city. The battle spread to half of the town. His family was just a part of the many victims.

Ji Hongyun knelt in front of the ruins of his home for a day and a night, and finally made a decision that shocked everyone like crazy.

He wants to create a technique that mortals can practice!

No matter what others said about him, whether he was crazy or an idiot, he was determined to do this. To this end, he sold all his family's fields and property, and visited famous mountains and rivers in search of the wizard.

After all, this world is not the previous life, and there are still quite a lot of traces of immortal cultivators. After searching for several years, he really found an immortal cultivator who was willing to accept him as his disciple.

However, his master was just a casual cultivator who accidentally obtained the inheritance.

As for Ji Hongyun himself, his qualifications are not as special as his reading ability. They are just the lowest ordinary level. Even the most rubbish sects will not want him. Only casual cultivators will accept him.

.

After crossing the threshold of the world of immortality, he began to implement his own plan while practicing.

It has to be said that there is a reason why the world of immortality has set this threshold.

The most basic condition required for cultivation is that it must be at least an ordinary level qualification.

Mortal level, this name is actually very intriguing, but there is a hint of disdain in the recognition.

Not only has it been divided into levels that can be cultivated, but also given such a name. To those in the world of immortality, monks of this level are actually no different from ordinary people.

Human-level qualifications require thirty years of cultivation to establish the foundation. How many years does it take to reach the mortal level? Forty years? Fifty years?

If there are no resources and no adventure, I am afraid that a mortal monk will not be able to reach the level of foundation building in his lifetime. He will not even be able to cross the first threshold of cultivating immortals. What is wrong with calling him a mortal?

If the mortal level is like this, then you can imagine how difficult it is for ordinary people who are not even as good as the mortal level to be able to practice.

After ten years of research, Ji Hongyun could not find any solution.

Later, when his master passed away, he still did not give up. Instead, he traveled around to learn about the strengths of others and see if he could think of any good ideas.

After several years of traveling, he finally came up with an idea.

The so-called cultivation is actually to use the body to absorb spiritual energy, and then let the spiritual energy circulate in the meridians and transform it into one's own magic power.

The so-called qualifications, if described in another way, are actually the cultivator's sensitivity to spiritual energy and the ability to attract spiritual energy.

Some people are born with a more sensitive ability to sense spiritual energy and a stronger ability to attract spiritual energy. These are the people with better qualifications.

On the contrary, it is a person with poor qualifications.

Some people are even unable to sense or absorb spiritual energy at all, then such people are completely mortal.

Among these two points, sensing spiritual energy is the primary condition for absorbing spiritual energy. If you can directly absorb spiritual energy, it doesn't matter even if you can't sense spiritual energy.

That being the case, is there some way that mortals can directly absorb spiritual energy?

Pills are the simplest way.

But even the monks themselves can't guarantee an unlimited supply of elixirs, let alone provide them to mortals, so this method obviously doesn't work.

The same goes for spiritual stones.

Since these two paths didn't work, Ji Hongyun turned his attention to the formation.

Since the formation can actively absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, does engraving the formation on the body also allow the human body to absorb the spiritual energy?

But in this case, we have to find a way to combine the formation with the meridians of the human body.

Therefore, in the second half of his life, he has been studying formations and the meridians of the human body, and he did not hesitate to conduct experiments on himself to eliminate errors and verify his conjectures.

When he tested these things on himself, it was natural that he would get injured. He even experienced being possessed more than a dozen times, and every time he wandered around in front of the gate of hell.

The consequences of these obsessions are good and bad. Some make his physical strength greatly increase, and some make his meridians tougher. However, more obsessions lead to irreparable damage.

An obsession seven years ago caused his inner demons to explode. He was in a coma for ten days and nights before he woke up. Later, whenever he saw a fight between monks, he would go crazy, regardless of whether the person fighting was in the Qi Refining Stage or the Foundation Building Stage.

Even at the Golden Core stage, he would be unable to restrain himself and rush to fight.

An obsession four years ago caused most of his mana to be integrated into his body. While his physical strength increased, most of the mana he had worked hard to cultivate for half a lifetime disappeared.

The obsession he had two years ago severely damaged his brain, causing him to look like this stupid person. He could only regain consciousness at midnight every day.

These are only the more serious cases of obsession, and needless to say the more minor ones.

Because of his last obsession, his plan to become a mortal was forced to stop. After all, he only had one hour of waking time every day, so he couldn't do anything.

Fortunately, after decades of experiments, he has also initially summarized a set of cultivation techniques, which are completely threshold-free!

However, although this technique is very simple to practice, body training and cultivation must be carried out at the same time, otherwise the body will not be able to support the operation of the formation, and the most important thing is that the progress of this technique is extremely slow.

There is no hope of building a foundation at all.

Different from Hunyuan Immortal Jue, Hunyuan Immortal Jue is slow because it sacrifices speed in exchange for magical power and clearing of meridians. However, the effect of practicing this technique is the same as that of ordinary techniques, but its speed is

But it's a bit slower than Hunyuan Immortal Jue.

He originally wanted to continue to optimize this technique before he died, but he did not expect that the severity of these obsessions was far beyond his imagination, so he could only stop with regret.

Therefore, since two years ago, he has been looking for someone to inherit his last wish.

As for Ning Ning, he rescued her from bandits three years ago, but when he arrived, the bandits had already killed all her parents, and they also tortured and killed her in front of her.

.

Since that day, she never spoke again.

In fact, he did not choose Li Zhiyuan originally because he believed that Li Zhiyuan was more than successful, but not enterprising enough and was too content with the status quo. Although he was kind-hearted, he was not suitable to inherit his last wish.

The reason why I gave these things to him was just to let him help me find a successor.

However, after experiencing this narrow escape and experiencing Ji Hongyun's life, Li Zhiyuan made up his mind and decided to practice this technique and pass it on. This was something Ji Hongyun did not expect.

Not to mention that Li Zhiyuan started practicing, Luo Zhen had other plans.

After wandering aimlessly for more than half a year and attending several small trade fairs but still getting nothing, Luo Zhen thought of another way.

According to some fairy cultivating novels I read in my previous life, since I can’t find any caves and inheritances for casual cultivators, I might as well try to join a sect.

Although I don’t know if the situation in this world is the same as in the novel, it never hurts to try.

So later on, Luo Zhen, in addition to asking if there was anyone who needed someone to crack the cave, also started to ask which sect was recruiting disciples recently, and finally he got a piece of news.
