Chapter 300: The Qualities of an Immortal

Li Qi had no choice. He didn't expect that after reaching the seventh rank, the attitudes of the great witches would suddenly change.

It was as if those below the eighth rank were children, and the seventh rank suddenly grew up.

Obviously, there was no change at all...

For the immortals, the hundreds of years of life of the eighth rank are not just a snap of the fingers, but it is also no problem to say that they are born in the morning and die in the evening. Therefore, only when you reach the seventh rank can you be considered an adult and have the perspective of the immortals, and you can stand together and communicate.

But the problem is... this perspective is slowly formed as the life span gradually extends.

Li Qi's thinking is essentially the same as that of an eighth-rank person, but he has to take on such a trivial matter because of his promotion...

Just when Li Qi was thinking this, the Great Witch suddenly sat down in front of him and said, "Don't be discouraged. If you want to do something, it's always best to start now."

"If you want to cultivate the qualities that an immortal should have, you have to start now. You may think that this is too difficult and that this is an impossible task, but you have to know that the so-called impossible huge task is also composed of one small thing after another that can be completed."

"You have to learn to find answers in your long life, to break down the impossible grand goals into small parts that can be completed, and then complete them bit by bit."

"All the great Karma was originally built up piece by piece. The way to destroy a world group is to destroy one world after another. The way to cross the endless domain is to move forward step by step. No matter how grand a thing is, it must be composed of smaller parts in the end. "

"Don't worry about wasting time. Time is meaningless to you now. It seems almost impossible for you to investigate an assassination case with a demon background. But when you decompose it, do it one by one. Maybe you can get the answer in just a few hundred years. "

"Learn patience, learn to be long-term, and pursue short-term and fast results. That's only the idea of ​​a child. "

The great witch Mi Xin may think this is very important, so he rarely said a lot of words to teach Li Qi.

Li Qi was stern and listened to the other party's advice seriously.

In the eyes of the great witch, this should be the most important thing, much more important than any assassination.

"Learn to disassemble..." Li Qi murmured.

Indeed, investigating this conspiracy is an extremely difficult task, and it is an impossible task for Li Qi, who is an eighth-rank.

But if we dismantle this conspiracy bit by bit, break it down into dozens of different unsolved cases, and then spend hundreds of years to investigate, everything seems not so difficult?

Because for them, there is no such thing as timeliness. Those who want to destroy the body have destroyed all the evidence long ago. The evidence that has not been destroyed will basically exist for a long time. Even if it does not exist, the cause and effect can be traced back.

"Thank you for your advice, great witch." Li Qi suddenly realized, and then bowed his head to thank him.

Indeed, what the other party said makes sense.

Then, the great witch continued: "You should just keep this matter in your heart. If you can really find any clues or culprits, it is probably not realistic. Most of the time, it will be left unresolved. Both parties will regard this matter as an accident. Even if the Dali Temple intervenes, the investigation will be done in secret, not in the open."

Li Qi nodded, he naturally knew this.

This kind of thing cannot be put on the table, but... both sides will definitely investigate it privately.

Li Qi was assassinated, and naturally someone in the Tang Kingdom would be very angry.

There are probably two reasons for anger.

The first is that Li Qi was assassinated.

The second possibility is that Li Qi is not dead.

It is particularly important that he is not dead.

It is fine if it is an assassination, but it is done cleanly and there is no evidence. It is a happy ending for everyone.

The great witch Mi Xin continued: "However, the Tang Kingdom will not admit it this time, and may even help cover it up. As for the punishment, it will be a private matter and will not be made public."

"Will the Tang Kingdom punish privately?" Li Qi was a little surprised. He thought it would be left unresolved.

"Of course, although they are indeed hypocritical, the rules of humanity are extremely strict, and rewards and punishments are very clear. No matter what the reason is, there must be punishment for doing it." Mi Xin nodded and answered Li Qi's question.

Li Qi was a little surprised when he heard this: "The great witch... knows who did it?"

How come these people know everything? Then what is the point of investigating it?

Mi Xin said: "Of course I know who did it in public. It was the Nanshan Academy faction, but they are only in public. The people in Nanshan Academy are not fools. Even if they want to kill you, they will not do it like this. They will not even let people do it, so that you will die unclearly."

"It is not good for both the human and the witch to do it like this, so Nanshan Academy is probably just a glove, and it is not accurate. You may have to join hands with them to find people later."

After hearing this, Li Qi scratched his head: "Could it be a demon?"

"I don't know." Mi Xin said very frankly: "I don't know the ins and outs. You can investigate it yourself, but don't delay the business. Although you are already a seventh-grade, there are still many things worth learning in the Imperial Academy. Don't worry, take your time, we have plenty of time."

The immortals have the most time.

Li Qi can spend hundreds of years to investigate this matter, and there is still enough time to complete his studies during this period, and even care about what happened outside the domain.

Mi Xin continued: "If you encounter something that cannot be solved, come to me. I will be in Chang'an recently. When you arrive in Chang'an, just call me by name anywhere."

"Keep this in mind, kid." After hearing this, Li Qi stood up, bowed and expressed his gratitude.

Then he suppressed his next words.

Originally, he wanted to tell the great witch Mi Xin why the Sansheng Ancient Mirror went berserk.

Because this thing mechanically wants to take itself back to the earth.

However, Li Qi felt that the earth was too far away, far outside the universe, so he directly exploded the Sansheng Ancient Mirror.

Don't talk about this kind of thing now, wait until you investigate it yourself, and then inform others later.

After Li Qi finished his salute and sat down, Mi Xin extended his hand again: "Then, I will teach you how to control the small world of your body so that your immortality will no longer be so fragile. Sit down and feel the meaning of harmony."

Li Qi sat down cross-legged again, closed his eyes, and let the other party put his hand on his head.

Then, suddenly, a scene came to his eyes.

The mind and body inherently possess everything, are harmonious and self-sufficient, without danger or urgency.

The universe and the earth each have movement and stillness, which can be seen in the four virtues. The still body is in motion, and the stillness is different but the movement is in communication.

It's so secret that life and death always circulate, and essence, energy, ghosts and spirits gather and disperse.

It's like movement and stillness, stillness and movement, movement and stillness are interdependent, the cycle is endless, existence and non-existence, death and life are integrated into one.

All wear and tear is due to lack of harmony. As long as the internal circulation of the human body reaches a level where there is no internal wear and tear, the lifespan will be endless.

The ultimate pursuit of witchcraft is an inner cycle without flaws and a perfect world that lasts forever.

Li Qi just had some feelings and was about to continue to delve deeper, but before he had time, this sense of harmony suddenly disappeared.

When he opened his eyes, he found that the great witch was gone, and his body was slowly disappearing from his small world.

The guidance is over, I want him to leave quickly...

Li Qi was helpless.

The other party just pointed out a way to make limited immortality less limited. How to make progress and how to study it all depends on him. There is no answer that can be copied.

He probably won't be allowed to copy either.

This is the examination and test of a newly born immortal.

Li Qi must prove that he is worthy of the power of 'immortality'.

Endless time is both a gift and a torture.

You must learn to bear this torture before you can enjoy this gift.

Li Qi suddenly realized that everything he had to do in the future would probably be a task that lasted for hundreds of years. He needed to break down the huge task into pieces and specify the order, from easy to difficult, from simple to difficult. Go deep and then work your way up to a grand plan.

Immortal people are not in a hurry.

For example, if an immortal planned to build a mansion, he would understand and even learn architectural design. The craft of carpentry and the surrounding trees and land would influence every aspect of his plan.

He ensures that all contingencies during the construction of the building are planned and that all the features he desires are reflected in his design.

No matter how long it takes.

Mortals will pay attention to the construction period, and there is a huge difference between one year and ten years. However, the immortals don't care whether the project will last five months or fifty years, or even if it takes a hundred years, it doesn't matter.

The only goal he cares about is to build a building that fully meets his own wishes.

Being able to complete something for a long time without getting anxious is a quality that every immortal should have.

Li Qi noticed this, and then he looked back and thought about Shen Shuibi's daily life.

In the previous year, she was focused on her own affairs almost all the time. She didn't care about the things of a day or two. She was extremely patient, taciturn, concentrated, and unyielding.

Later, because Wu Gu's body was damaged and the changes in her body were reflected in her mind, she began to become easily irritable and became like a mortal, unable to accept short-term changes, and was even taken advantage of by Li Qi.

Ahem, let’s not talk about this matter.

But it was said that Li Qi understood the qualities that an immortal should have, and then he was expelled from the small world of the great witch Mixin and returned to Chang'an.

Understanding is one thing, practicing is another. You still have to take your time.

However, you have to start cultivating it from now on.

Li Qi was thinking in his mind about how to act, regarding the studies of Taixue, the investigation of the assassination, and the arrangements for the affairs of the Holy Flame Realm.

Hmm... He's already at level 7, so Taixue's priority should be last. Just wait silently for school to start and then check in to study. First, let's take a look at the quality of Taixue's classes.

If there is any merit, then study for a while and learn the real thing before running away.

If it doesn't work, or it doesn't suit you, then just run away.

The investigation of the assassination operation should be just a test. As Dawu Mixin said, there are more than one or two people who will pursue this matter. Although he is a party involved, if he wants to join the investigation army, he is just one of them. It’s a small role, so you can just make your own. You can start with the investigation results of others, such as Dali Temple and others.

Therefore, the investigation of the assassination operation can be put aside for the time being. Wait until Dali Temple and Wushen Mountain have some clues, and then directly use their existing results and combine them with their own actual experience to speculate on the matter, so as not to get involved too deeply. , and ended up dragging myself into it again.

This matter involves too much, so don't go too deep, so you can put it aside for later.

Then look at it again, there are only two urgent things.

The first is a long-term task, that is, to consolidate your own cultivation, learn some seventh-grade skills, so that you can go from the initial seventh-grade to the real seventh-grade. This matter can be done together with the Imperial Academy learning task.

Second, the affairs of the Holy Flame Realm, I should go back and ask, maybe I have to take time to go there.

Then, after arranging the current tasks, Li Qi didn't bother and immediately prepared to run home. As for the assassination, put it aside for the time being. Anyway, someone will come to ask about it, and we will talk about it when the time comes.

Just when he got out of his thoughts, he looked up and saw that Chang'an, which was once bustling, had become a disaster area.

The previous chaos has not disappeared. Although most of the wounded have been transported away, a large amount of debris is still on the street.

This matter is destined to be on the headlines.

I'm afraid it won't be too safe next.

——————————

Thinking about this, Li Qi quickly rushed back to his courtyard in Chang'an.

At this moment, there are only a few days before the start of school, and it is still necessary to make use of it.

First, according to the suggestion of the Great Witch, the affairs of the Holy Flame Realm will be decomposed to see the order, what to do first and what to do later, and it will be completed bit by bit. It will take decades to complete the resource retention of this sixth-grade world.

In the Holy Flame Realm, Li Qi feels that it can also be divided into two main parts.

One is the matter of the Holy Flame Realm's diversion, which is the basis. If you want to collect the specialty materials of the Holy Flame Realm, you must make the Holy Flame Realm full of vitality and vigorous spirit. A Holy Flame Realm that has been turned into a wasteland is useless.

For this reason, it is necessary to abolish the original divine way that eroded the Holy Flame, let the original tradition of the Holy Flame Realm dominate the world, and then add some changes set by Li Qi himself.

This part is the responsibility of Shen Shuibi, and Li Qi will just take a look at it when the time comes.

The second is to exchange the received Holy Flame for property that is universal in the world.

It certainly can't be silver. It should be more appropriate to exchange it for the world or treasures. The act of trading will generate "profit", which is an important way to increase.

Holy flame is a world specialty, and it also has a good effect on Shinto. I also have the Great Blessing Token and the endorsement of Wushen Mountain. This business can be done, and it must be done.

If you want to pay off your debt, you must set a small goal first.

But that requires contacting Shinto monks in advance, or people who are qualified to contact Shinto.

This may be possible through the relationship of Taixue. Taixue has many international students, most of whom have a high status.

Well, it is indeed feasible.

Then next, call Shen Shuibi to ask about the situation of the Holy Flame Realm.
