Qin Di hurriedly bowed. "Greetings, Patriarch! You're still alive? "
The old man's expression was very benevolent. "I died ten thousand years ago! Now, I'm only left with a clone. In another three thousand years, this clone won't be able to survive. Therefore, it's my fortune to be able to wait for you. "
"Do you have any last wishes, Patriarch? If I can do it, I'll definitely help you! "
The old man said slowly, "You were able to go three thousand miles into the Dead Sea at such a young age. This shows that you're blessed and have miracles that ordinary people don't have. I don't ask for anything else. I just hope that you can bring my bones deeper into the Dead Sea! "
"You want to go to Three Lives Island too?"
"Sigh, everyone wants to go to Three Lives Island, but how many people can actually go? I'm afraid I won't be able to go. I just want to go deeper into the Dead Sea, even if it's another hundred miles. "
"Patriarch, may I ask what's in the depths of the Dead Sea? Other than Three Lives Island, are there any other benefits? Why do you want to go deeper? "
The old man smiled and said, "Of course there are benefits. You might already know that the Dead Sea has accumulated a large number of soul fragments. My soul is still sealed in the cave abode and hasn't been released. This is because the Dead Sea has a special characteristic. The closer to the periphery, the more the soul fragments, leaving only fine dust particles. The closer to the center, the more complete the soul is. It can condense into large pieces, and even the core can be preserved. "
Qin Di was surprised. "Oh, so that's how it is. I was wondering why the white fog at the beginning became so dense that it was almost black."
The old man continued, "For a Dao Integration Perfected Lord like me, my soul has been tempered more perfectly. If I go deeper into the Dead Sea, it's easier to preserve my soul. I can even rely on devouring other soul fragments to level up. Finally, when I reach a certain level, I can go underground through the Ghost Path of the Yellow Springs and continue to cultivate in the future."
"Ghost Path of the Yellow Springs? What's that? "When Qin Di heard this term, he couldn't help but think of the phrase 'death in the Yellow Springs' that he often heard in his previous life.
"The entire Dead Sea is like a huge meat grinder. It activates once every thirty years and pulls the surrounding souls in. There was a small island in the center of the Dead Sea. It was the Three Lives Island. Next to Three Lives Island, in the deepest part of the Dead Sea, there was a huge whirlpool that connected to the Netherworld Realm. It was also known as the Ghost Road of the Yellow Springs. If his soul could pass through, he could reincarnate with his memories, or stay in the Netherworld to look for opportunities. It is said that there are also people who became immortals in the Underworld and ascended to the Heavenly Realm. "
"What about Three Lives Island? What's the use of the Three Lives Stone? "
"If you can touch the Stone of Three Lives, you will be able to leave a mark on your hand. It is equivalent to the proof of entering the Yellow Springs Ghost Path, and it can protect your soul from harm. Without that mark, crossing the Yellow Springs is extremely dangerous, and you will almost certainly lose all your memories. "
"Oh, disciple finally understands. Don't worry, Ancestor. Although this disciple can't guarantee to bring you to Three Lives Island, it's possible to walk a few hundred or even a few thousand kilometers further in. But now is not the time. With my current cultivation, this is the most I can do. I hope Ancestor can understand. "
The old man chuckled and said, "Of course I understand. How can cultivating to become an immortal be smooth sailing? Most of the time, you must first retreat in order to advance. As long as you can bring this avatar of mine to the depths of the Dead Sea within three thousand years, it will be fine. I see that you are a good young man. You have a good spirit root, and you are bold and meticulous. The fact that you were able to follow the path all the way here shows that you are a person who abides by the rules. The fact that you were able to pass through the mountain of puppets and knives shows that your heart is magnanimous and without fear. I want to take you in as a cross-generation disciple. Are you willing? "
Hearing that he could become an apprentice, Qin Di was very happy. He had received modern education and had experienced countless teachers in his life. One more teacher was not a bad thing, so he said, "Disciple Qin Di is willing to listen to Ancestor's instructions!"
The old man stroked his goatee and said with a smile, "You can call me 'Ancestor'. My surname is Shi, and I used to be famous at the foot of Spirited Mountain for refining weapons. People call me 'Shi Babao'. Do you see the Flaming Mountain over there? There are hundreds of types of spirit fires that I have collected in my life. Look at the mountains that are shining with golden light over there. They are all kinds of spirit materials that I have collected from all over Spirited Mountain. You can cultivate with me. I will first teach you the art of refining fire, then I will teach you the art of refining weapons. What do you think? "
Qin Di thought to himself, "I want to learn the wood element cultivation method! My fire spirit root is only at the upper third rank, but my wood spirit root has already surpassed the heavenly rank! Why are there always people persuading me to learn the fire element cultivation method? Besides, I am very busy now. I don't even have time to cultivate, and I have only just learned alchemy. Now I want to learn the art of refining weapons. Won't I be busy to death? "
The old man was very observant. He had already seen through his hesitation, so he asked, "Why? Do you have any other ideas? Then say it out boldly. "
Qin Di smiled bitterly and said, "Disciple is learning the wood element cultivation method, and at the same time, self-taught alchemy. So I'm afraid that I can't wholeheartedly learn the fire art of refining weapons from Grandmaster."
But the old man said, "It's fine, it's fine. You are so young now. You also don't know what you like. If you want to play, just learn all the four arts of cultivation once. It's also completely no problem! As for the wood element cultivation method, I don't know anything about it. I can't guide you in cultivating it. "
"Furthermore, disciple can't stay here all the time. I have family, friends, a sect, and ten thousand mu of spirit fields nearby. I have a lot of things to worry about. So it's very hard for me to abandon my family and business and cultivate here with Grandmaster. "
When he said this, Qin Di was a little worried, afraid that he would make the other party unhappy.
Who knew that the old man laughed instead. "You don't have to worry about this. Cultivation is particular about wealth, companions, methods, and places. You can't be without friends and a place that is pleasing to the eye. Otherwise, you can't even pass the mental state barrier. Then what's the point of cultivating?"
"In that case, disciple can only stay here with Grandmaster to learn for twenty days. If I exceed that, the dead aura of the Dead Sea will recover, and disciple won't be able to go back. "
"Haha, when you leave, just take the Grotto-Heaven World with you!"
Qin Di couldn't help but widen his eyes. "The Grotto-Heaven World can be taken away?"
"If you can't take it away, how can it come to the Dead Sea? Grandmaster, I'll teach you a mnemonic chant. You just have to chant the mnemonic chant outside, and you can shrink the Grotto-Heaven World into a ball. You just have to put it in your pocket and take it away. "
"Wow, that's really great! Grandmaster, can I go out now? When I get home, I'll calm down and cultivate fire art with you. I promise that I'll learn the way of refining weapons from you well. What do you think? "
The old man didn't mind. He smiled and said, "There's no rush. I still have three thousand years. Come, Grandmaster will teach you some cultivation methods. "
