Immortality begins with inheriting the myriad arts of cultivation.

Chapter 48 Desire to Practice Evil Skills

Finally, Li Ping said something that surprised the other four, excluding Zhang Tie and Gu Musheng: "By the way, I recently obtained a few bottles of pills from a friend that can help cultivators in the early and middle stages of Qi Refining improve their cultivation. Take them back and cultivate diligently."

These pills were naturally all refined by Li Ping himself. The reason he said he got them from a friend was mainly because he didn't want to reveal his alchemy skills.

It's astonishing that someone could refine a mid-grade first-level pill after only a few days of learning alchemy.

Of course, he can now even successfully refine first-grade high-quality pills with a 100% success rate.

However, considering the need to absorb the 'innate energy' step by step, he did not rush to refine a first-grade high-quality pill.

Therefore, Zhang Tie and Gu Musheng could only watch enviously as the other four happily accepted the pills from Li Ping's hands.

Bai Qing received two bottles of "Qi-Boosting Pills," while the other three each received two bottles of "Qi-Gathering Pills."

The Qi Gathering Pill is a type of elixir that helps cultivators in the mid-stage of Qi Refining to improve their cultivation.

The group quickly expressed their gratitude, saying, "Thank you so much, brother."

Li Ping smiled and nodded.

He gave the group pills to enhance their cultivation, hoping they would work hard and reach the peak of Qi Refining as soon as possible.

Once the other six members of the Fellowship have each obtained a Foundation Establishment opportunity, his oath will be fulfilled, and he will no longer be bound by the oath of "Joint Foundation Establishment".

The Western Wilderness lacks fourth-order spiritual veins, making it impossible to nurture Nascent Soul cultivators. In order to go further on the path of immortality in the future, he will probably have to leave the Western Wilderness.

Ideally, all of this should be done before he leaves the Western Wilderness.

Anyway, he refined all these low-level pills himself, and it didn't cost him many spirit stones.

Moreover, he doesn't lack spirit stones for the time being, so there's no need for him to sell these pills.

Although he had previously donated 300 spirit stones to the Foundation Building Fund in one go, seemingly reducing his wealth considerably.

In reality, he manages the Foundation Building Fund, and if there is an urgent need for spirit stones, he can use them first and then replenish them when there are enough spirit stones.

After all, he didn't swear that he wouldn't misappropriate the Foundation Building Fund!

Of course, the ownership of the foundation fund belongs to everyone; he is just holding it for everyone 24 hours a day.

……

In fact, even if he were to sell pills, Li Ping did not intend to sell them to the Meng family. He did not want to expose his unparalleled talent for alchemy in front of the Meng family.

He planned to conceal his identity and make his move in the market after some time.

Suspecting that the Fairy Miaorou of Lingbao Pavilion wanted to lure him out of the city, Li Ping had not visited Lingbao Pavilion for a long time.

In retrospect, this seems to be a misunderstanding. Perhaps Fairy Miao really couldn't leave at the time, so she had to ask him to help escort a shipment.

Li Ping still had a slight liking for this fairy who dared to "boldly show off her figure" and didn't mind maintaining a friendly relationship with her.

"Don't be envious," Li Ping said with a smile, looking at Zhang Tie and Gu Musheng. "My friend is already trying to refine first-grade high-quality pills. I'll get a few bottles for you two at the year-end gathering."

The two men beamed with joy: "Thank you, brother."

……

After seeing everyone off, Li Ping continued refining pills in his furnace, and also instructed the Meng family to send him some spiritual herbs.

The Meng family knew he had bought the alchemy inheritance and the alchemy furnace, so he didn't need to hide his purchase of spiritual herbs. He could have the Meng family help him buy them, saving him the trouble of running errands himself.

For the next ten days or so, Li Ping frantically refined pills.

In his storage bag, there were already hundreds of bottles of first-grade low-grade and first-grade mid-grade pills.

Having absorbed so many elixirs, the 'innate qi' of the health cultivation technique also felt a sense of fullness.

Clearly, the innate qi of first-grade low-grade and first-grade mid-grade pills is sufficient.

It is worth mentioning that, in order to save trouble, Li Ping refined the same type of first-grade low-grade and first-grade mid-grade pills.

In any case, for health preservation techniques, the effects of 'innate qi mechanism' of pills of the same level are all the same.

……

Li Ping sat cross-legged, the azure-blue, vibrant energy of the health-preserving mantra flowing continuously through his body, restoring every meridian, organ, flesh, bone, and hair to its most perfect state.

He could clearly sense that his lifespan was now fixed at exactly 240 years.

Moreover, under the nourishment of the health-preserving mantra, his body will not age and will always remain in its peak condition.

Only at the moment of their death will they instantly pass away.

Before this, as long as he didn't die on the spot, even if he suffered serious injuries, the power of the Nourishing Life Technique could restore him to his most perfect state.

Damage to one's original essence, injury to the meridians, physical defects, ingestion of deadly poisons... all negative states can be restored to their original state through the miraculous effects of the health preservation techniques.

Of course, even the health preservation methods are helpless when faced with the end of one's lifespan, which seems to involve some kind of natural law.

Li Ping originally thought that a Core Formation cultivator might have the means to prolong life, but now he knows that when it comes to the rules of heaven and earth, even a Nascent Soul cultivator probably cannot extend their own lifespan.

……

In conclusion, for Li Ping now...

Unless he is killed on the spot, preventing him from having a chance to heal, he can rely on the miraculous effects of the Nourishing Life Technique to recover to a perfect state.

Its ability to survive is off the charts.

Of course, since he has only absorbed enough of the 'innate qi' from first-grade low-grade and first-grade mid-grade pills, the recovery speed of the health cultivation technique is still relatively slow.

If he is truly crippled and hunted down, he probably won't have the chance to "make a triumphant return."

However, once he has absorbed enough of the "innate qi" from second-, third-, and even fourth-tier pills, the recovery speed of his health cultivation technique will greatly increase, and he will probably be able to truly possess an indestructible body.

……

"The healing effects of the health preservation technique only work on the physical body. If it is a sinister method that targets the soul, it is completely ineffective against it."

Li Ping pondered to himself, "Based on the characteristics of the Nourishing Life Technique, the one most suitable for me to cultivate is actually a secret technique that causes great damage to the body but can rapidly enhance combat power in a short period of time. Even if it consumes my essence and reduces my lifespan, as long as I can kill the enemy or escape successfully, I can recover completely with the Nourishing Life Technique."

"However, even if I have the health preservation technique to protect me, magical artifacts are blind and magic is merciless, so fighting with people is still dangerous."

Li Ping quickly shook his head again: "I'd better cultivate a technique with huge side effects, but which can instantly transport me hundreds of miles away. That way, I won't need to fight the enemy at all. If I encounter danger, I can just run away! After I escape, I can use the Nourishing Life Technique to get rid of the side effects of the secret technique."

Thinking of this, Li Ping couldn't help but sigh: "If it weren't for the necessity of studying alchemy techniques and absorbing the 'innate qi' of pills to break through the bottleneck, the 'Ze Shui Yang Sheng Jue' would be completely classified as one of the top cultivation techniques in this world based solely on its healing effects."

Of course, if that's really the case.

This skill will not fall into his hands, and he will not have the chance to practice it.
