Chapter 1,261  Immortality

After sending Bai Longji away, Xiao Mian became more worried.

Inadvertently, Xiao Mian suddenly felt a wave of fluctuations, like a tide.

It seemed that someone was calling him, and it seemed that someone was asking for help.

In a trance, Xiao Mian woke up!

Dream?

Or illusion?

This shouldn't be!

I have been practicing Taoism for decades, and I have never seen such a strange thing!

Let alone Xiao Mian, even if it is any cultivator, as long as he has formed a golden elixir, he no longer needs to sleep, and naturally he will not dream...

Standing up, Xiao Mian opened the window and looked out from the railing.

The night was hazy, and the entire Life and Death Valley was covered by the Immortal God Tree.

The leaves of the Immortal God Tree were crystal clear during the day, but at night, they emitted a sparkling spiritual light, illuminating the entire Life and Death Valley.

Looking at this dreamy scene, Xiao Mian slowly closed his eyes.

Subconsciously, the spiritual eye quietly operated.

The entire Valley of Life and Death was constantly becoming ethereal...

The original Emerald Mountain and Emerald Lake also became spiritual existences.

The most eye-catching thing was still the Immortal God Tree!

The pure and powerful spiritual energy was almost the only one Xiao Mian had ever seen in his life.

Until he saw it with his own eyes, Xiao Mian still couldn't believe that a tree could have such strong vitality and spiritual power.

But it was right in front of Xiao Mian, whether Xiao Mian believed it or not!

With a mentality that was almost worshipful, Xiao Mian looked at the Immortal God Tree carefully.

First, the roots, which went deep into the ground for thousands of feet, intertwined and connected in all directions.

The trunk, with a diameter of ten miles, was straight up to the sky, shaped like a spiritual tree that reached the sky.

As for the leaves, they covered the entire Valley of Life and Death, one piece, one branch, one clump, one pile-full of countless pure spiritual energy.

Among the thousands of branches and leaves, there were a few green spiritual fruits...

Wait!

What was that vermilion?

Suddenly opening his eyes, Xiao Mian saw a vermilion spiritual fruit hanging on the treetop of the Immortal God Tree not far from his window.

It was solitary, shaped like a lonely star.

As Xiao Mian watched, the spiritual fruit trembled slightly.

Xiao Mian's heart moved, but he did not move.

The next moment, a breeze floated.

"Brother Xiao is in a good mood. It's so late, are you still enjoying the night breeze?"

"You can't blame me for being pretentious. It's really that the scenery of the Emerald Mountain Waterfall in your Life and Death Valley is too charming. I can't help it!"

Slowly turning around, looking at Ling Xiao who suddenly appeared in the room, Xiao Mian was not surprised - perhaps out of politeness, Ling Xiao did not deliberately hold his breath before coming in, and therefore, Xiao Mian knew Ling Xiao's arrival first.

Xiao Mian even knew a little about Ling Xiao's purpose.

Seeing Ling Xiao's determination to get the bottle of immortal water at the auction that night, Xiao Mian guessed that Ling Xiao's visit tonight must be for the immortal water!

Ling Xiao saw that Xiao Mian was just looking at him but didn't speak, so he shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"Brother Xiao! What is Ling Xiao's purpose here? I guess you already know it?"

"I know a little bit! But..."

"Wait! Brother Xiao, why don't you listen to Ling Xiao's chips first, and then make a decision, how about it?"

"This..., that's good!"

Nodding, Xiao Mian made a gesture of listening attentively.

Ling Xiao saw it and felt relieved.

"At the auction that day, I offered 10 million middle spirits. If Brother Xiao feels that it is not enough, Ling Xiao is willing to add another 10 million middle spirits. What do you think?"

200 million middle spirits, in exchange for a bottle of immortal water, is not a cheap sale.

But, does Xiao Mian look like someone who is short of spirit stones?

With a faint smile, Xiao Mian shook his head slowly, and the determination in his expression made it clear: Let alone 20 million spirit stones, even if it doubled, it would not be enough!

Ling Xiao saw this, his face dimmed.

Originally, as the heir of the Holy Land of Life and Death Valley, Ling Xiao had no shortage of spirit stones.

Just move your hands and start refining pills, and you can make a lot of money every day.

However, some time ago, in order to get a ball of the best ninth-level divine fire Yin Yang Wuji Fire, Ling Xiao not only spent all his savings, but also borrowed some spirit stones from the sect temporarily.

Although the eighth-level spirit fire that she eliminated, the Pure Water Spirit Flame, also sold some spirit stones, she used them all to pay off her debts...

Now these 20 million middle spirits are already Ling Xiao's limit.

Fortunately, Ling Xiao had expected that relying solely on spirit stones might not impress Xiao Mian.

Therefore, Ling Xiao was prepared.

Taking a deep breath, Ling Xiao took out a porcelain bottle.

Pulling out the bottle stopper, a soft light rushed out of the bottle mouth.

Amidst the overflowing light, a baby figure appeared faintly...

Seeing this, Xiao Mian's eyes were fixed, and his mind moved.

Although there are various miraculous elixirs in the cultivation world, and there are also many strange elixirs with strange effects, as far as Xiao Mian knows, there is only one that can produce such a strange phenomenon.

That is the legendary - Ningying Shengdan!

Ningying Shengdan, a miraculous elixir!

No grade, no rank, and the effect is amazing!

Just like the Ningjin Fortune Pill that can assist cultivators in condensing the golden elixir, this Ningying Shengdan can increase the chance of cultivators condensing the infant by 10%!

Don't underestimate this 10% chance, it can often change fate...

At the beginning, a Ningjin Fortune Pill caused a bloody storm in Lingchuan Market. If Ling Xiao took the Ningying Shengdan in his hand to the auction, it would definitely make many people fight for it, and maybe it would cause another bloody storm.

Just a change of mind, Xiao Mian's heat quickly cooled down.

Although the Ningying Holy Pill has a great reputation, it is useless to Xiao Mian.

Not to mention that Xiao Mian is determined not to take any pills before the Yuanying realm, even without the Ningying Holy Pill, Xiao Mian is absolutely sure that he can successfully condense the infant.

To put it another way, this Ningying Holy Pill is not without disadvantages!

At least the former Ningjin Creation Pill has some disadvantages.

Xiao Mian later learned that any golden pill formed by the Ningjin Creation Pill will be mixed with a trace of pill poison, which will hinder the future progress of the cultivator.

Unless there is no other way, otherwise, it is better not to use strange pills such as Ningjin Creation Pill or Ningying Holy Pill...

If this thing is really a hundred miles without any harm, why would Ling Xiao take it out?

Of course, this is also because Xiao Mian has never relied on the way of pills, and therefore, he has a strong resistance to the Ningying Holy Pill.

If it were someone else, he would have agreed long ago.

After all, exchanging a bottle of immortal water for a sacred pill of infant condensation is a very cost-effective deal!

But Xiao Mian still shook his head slowly.

This time, Ling Xiao was really angry!

He didn't want the spirit stone!

He didn't want the magic pill!

Is this Nanyue Xiao Mian playing tricks on him?

"Fellow Daoist Ling Xiao! If there is nothing else..." Before Ling Xiao turned his face, Xiao Mian had already ordered him to leave. Ling Xiao's expression froze when he heard this, but she calmed down instead. After all, she was asking for help now, so she had to be humble. With a turn of his eyes, Ling Xiao made a resolute expression, took out a green spiritual fruit, held it in his palm, and said to Xiao Mian: "Brother Xiao, look: are you satisfied with this thing?"

"Oh? I don't know what this is?"

"This is the fruit of the Immortal God Tree - the Immortal Holy Fruit!"

"What is the effect?"

"Although it can't bring back the dead, it can instantly restore the spirit and vitality of the cultivator - Xiao Daoyou has also been to the Yuntai, why ask when you know the answer?"

"That's right! Xiao has also been to the Yuntai!" While talking to himself, Xiao Mian spread out his palm, and there were four green spiritual fruits shining. Just when Ling Xiao's face was ugly, Xiao Mian said calmly: "Although this thing is good, Xiao already has it!"

"You!"

"Ling Xiao Daoyou! If you really want the immortal water, you might as well show some sincerity!"

"..."

The heir of the holy land was choked by Xiao Mian's words and couldn't speak.

After thinking it over again and again, Ling Xiao's eyes turned, and the emerald green fruit in his hand disappeared, replaced by a vermilion fruit.

The appearance of that fruit was exactly the same as the previous emerald green fruit.

Only the color was red!

"Fellow Daoist Ling Xiao, are you trying to tell me that this is also the Immortal Fruit?"

"Humph! What do you know?" Ling Xiao, who rarely mocked Xiao Mian, looked at the vermilion fruit in his hand and explained with a lonely expression: "This is the Longevity Fruit!"

"Longevity Fruit?"

Is it necessary to be so ridiculous! ?

Longevity Wood, Longevity Grass, Longevity Fruit - you are all born from the same mother! ?

Xiao Mian complained in his heart, but on the surface he pretended to be puzzled.

Sure enough, Ling Xiao explained immediately afterwards.

The emerald green fruit that Xiao Mian got was indeed the holy fruit of the Immortal God Tree, called the Immortal Fruit, but the Immortal God Tree also had another kind of fruit, which was the Longevity Fruit.

The longevity fruit and the immortal fruit are both spiritual fruits produced by the immortal tree.

One can make you live forever if you take it for a long time, and the other can make you immortal if you take it for a long time!

In Xiao Mian's opinion, longevity and immortality are exactly the same thing. It was not until he listened to Ling Xiao's explanation that he suddenly realized: longevity and immortality are really not the same thing!

The so-called longevity is to strengthen oneself and prolong life.

The so-called immortality is to weaken external forces and delay aging.

It can even be said that one is the way of life, and the other is the way of death!

It seems to be a concept, but it is actually two levels.

Just like the longevity world and the immortal sanctuary, they are two completely different realms.

"I see!" Nodding, Xiao Mian asked the question in his heart: "But I see that the fruits on the Immortal God Tree are all immortal fruits, and this longevity fruit..."

"..., don't worry about it, Brother Xiao! You just need to know that even the Immortal God Tree now has few longevity fruits! And..." Halfway through his words, Ling Xiao looked at the immortal fruits in Xiao Mian's hand and revealed a secret that no one knew: "And taking the longevity fruit and the immortal fruit together has unexpected effects!"

"Oh?"

"Let's not talk about other effects, the effects of the longevity fruit and the immortal fruit alone can be more than doubled! ”

“I just don’t know: Fellow Daoist Ling Xiao, how many immortal fruits do you have?”

“How many…how many! ? How many more do you want! ?”

“Of course – the more the better!”

“You! Xiao Mian! Don’t go too far!” Pointing at Xiao Mian’s nose, Ling Xiao’s anger could no longer be suppressed and he burst out in an instant: “Listen to me! Even I, the descendant of the Holy Land of Life and Death Valley, only have this one immortal fruit! There are less than ten immortal fruits left in the Life and Death Valley! How many more do you want?”

“I…, I’m wrong, isn’t it okay?”

Swallowing his saliva, Xiao Mian’s eyes were fixed on the immortal fruit.

Looking at Ling Xiao’s reaction, this immortal fruit should be correct!

Nodding, just when Ling Xiao thought Xiao Mian was finally willing to exchange the longevity water with her, Xiao Mian spread his hands, shrugged his shoulders, and rolled his eyes.

"Fellow Daoist Lingxiao! Mr. Xiao has no immortality water at hand!"

"You! You! You! What on earth do you mean!?"

"The bottle of longevity water that night was indeed owned by Mr. Xiao, but it was also the last bottle of longevity water that Mr. Xiao had on hand..."

At that moment, Xiao Mian explained to Ling Xiao the whereabouts of the bottle of longevity water.

"Little holy monk Kasyapa?"

"That's right! Holy Monk Kasyapa exchanged a flower of longevity grass for the bottle of longevity water! That flower of longevity grass has been eaten by me, and as for the bottle of longevity water..."

"Xiao Mian! Are you kidding me?"

"Don't dare! Don't dare! This matter is absolutely true. You can ask the little saint monk for details!"

"... Then you still bargain seriously!?"

"Isn't that what you said? I might as well listen to your bargaining chips first before making a decision!"

"..."

Facing Xiao Mian who looked innocent, Ling Xiao felt extremely angry!

Where did the best scoundrel come from and was actually touched by him?

"That..." Seeing that Ling Xiao was very angry with him, Xiao Mian cautiously confided: "The water of immortality is really gone! But Xiao has a bottle of black soil made by refining the energy of death. I don't know that Ling Xiao Fellow Daoist Xiao, do you want it?”

"The aura of death? Black earth?" Ling Xiao was stunned when he heard this, his face changed slightly, he completely forgot about the anger in his heart, and kept urging: "Please take it out first and let me see it!"

Obviously, Ling Xiao was deceived by Xiao Mian...

Xiao Mian didn't push back this time. He obediently took out a porcelain bottle, opened the cork, and poured it out.

When Ling Xiao saw this, he was shocked and stopped him.

"Are you crazy!? If it is really the 'immortal soil', can you afford to pay compensation?"

While speaking, Ling Xiao snatched the porcelain bottle and examined it carefully.

Xiao Mian let it go, with a certain intention - immortal soil?

Hum!

After a long time, Ling Xiao capped the bottle again and remained silent.

If she didn't speak, Xiao Mian would never speak.

Seeing Xiao Mian being so calm, Ling Xiao sighed quietly.

"How do Fellow Daoist Xiao plan to replace this thing?"

"This thing has the same price as the Eternal Life Water. What do you think, fellow Taoist Lingxiao?"

"……,good!"

"Wait!"

"You! What are you thinking about!?"

The reason why Ling Xiao cuts through the mess quickly is because he is afraid that Xiao Mian will go back on his word.

Xiao Mian looked at Ling Xiao, who looked like an angry lioness, and waved his hands repeatedly.

"Fellow Taoist Lingxiao, please be patient! I just want to ask: Do you have the bark of the Immortal Tree in your hands? If you have enough, can you exchange some for Xiao?"

"The bark of the Immortal Tree? What do you want to do?"

"This...fellow Taoist, maybe you have heard of it? Mr. Xiao has no other hobbies, but he has a special liking for the talisman drawing technique..."

"You want to use the bark of the Immortal Tree to make talismans?"

"I hope fellow Taoist will come true! Fellow Taoist just ask for the price. As long as it is not too expensive, Mr. Xiao is willing to buy some bark of the Immortal God Tree from fellow Taoist!" Seeing that Ling Xiao was still hesitant, Xiao Mian took a step forward and lowered his voice. He said: "Lest I give others an advantage!"

Hearing Xiao Mian's words, Ling Xiao thought of the fat fox in Tongbao Pavilion for no reason...
