I have Immortality In The Cultivation World

"The ancient Cultivation Technique is indeed different from the current paths!"

Zhou Yi had thoroughly read the whole Cultivation Technique and had a clear understanding of the Divine Bull Transformation.

This fragment of an unnamed ancient Cultivation Technique, according to Brother Li's research and verification, comes from at least a hundred thousand years ago. Once it is cultivated to its full potential, one can display their bloodline talent, transforming into a giant strength divine bull, hence it was named Divine Bull Transformation.

"Bloodline talent, turning into a divine bull, why does it sound somewhat demonic?"

Zhou Yi reviewed the notes following it, perhaps out of a guilty conscience, Brother Li had freely shared decades of cultivation experience.

"The innate Spell can be controlled at will, its power much greater than ordinary mana, and in the later stages of Qi Refinement, one can escape from the hands of a Foundation Establishment cultivator... Thank goodness it's not about defeating opponents above one's level, otherwise, I'd have to complain about being scammed!"

"It's not a transformation from human to demon, it won't affect the mana in the Dantian, it's more like the legendary physical Divine Skills!"

Zhou Yi pondered for a moment and decided to start cultivating it to see.

There were quite a few in Little Dan Mountain who practiced the Divine Bull Transformation without any issues, the only problem was that it took too long to fully master it, including Brother Li, everyone gave up halfway.

The next day.

Zhou Yi set up a wooden sign on the counter.

—— Will pay a high price for Qi Refinement Realm bull demon's essence blood!

This was an essential item for cultivating the Divine Bull Transformation, integrating the bull demon's essence blood within one's body, and refining it continuously until full mastery of the technique.

"The ancient Cultivation Technique is quite crude, not nearly as finely divided into realms as contemporary practices, without the likes of minor bottlenecks, perfectly suited for my cultivation!"

After Zhou Yi broke through to the fourth layer of the Qi Refinement Realm, the growth of his mana became very slow, he silently calculated the time required to reach the later stages of Qi Refinement, it was likely to outlast generations of cultivators in the marketplace.

As for outlasting Little Dan Mountain, that's also uncertain!

Colleagues who saw Zhou Yi's sign immediately found a common topic, beginning to discuss who in the marketplace was cultivating the Divine Bull Transformation.

Among them were official disciples with dual Spirit Roots, offsprings of wealthy and powerful cultivators, and those who fancied themselves as lucky, chosen by fate, the results naturally ended in failure and oblivion.

Not to speak of the wasted Spirit Stones, squandering over a dozen years of lifespan had a profound impact on a cultivator's path.

"I'm not aiming to become a true immortal, a little cultivation will significantly improve my physique, and I might live a few more years in the future."

Zhou Yi found a casual excuse, and to his surprise, his colleagues believed him, taking out their dusty Divine Bull Transformation techniques from the bottom of their chests, trying to continue cultivating it.

"No wonder Brother Li could afford a Foundation Establishment Pill, turns out they all bought it!"

A day of leisure.

After finishing his shift, Zhou Yi went to the Spirit Fields, casting the Spiritual Rain Technique.

After breaking through the fourth layer of Qi Refinement, the range of the Spiritual Rain vastly increased, and the mana within his body was enough to support casting it more than ten times.

The three mu of Spirit Fields were quickly irrigated, just then he happened to see the neighbor's family sowing seeds.

Xiao Tiezhu had observed Zhou Yi's Spirit Fields carefully, planting one every zhang, growing very vigorously; thus, he also sowed at a similar distance.

"Kid, only thirty percent of your Spirit Rice seeds will sprout."

A voice reached Xiao Tiezhu's ears, and when he looked up, he saw Zhou Yi already walking away.

"Thank you, senior, for the guidance."

…

Spring went and autumn came, time flew by like an arrow.

That day.

Zhou Yi accepted a job to repair a Formation and made his way to the central region.

The location was rather remote, situated on the shady side of a small hillock.

Spirit Rice, having a wood attribute, thrives in sunlight, with few cultivators planting on the shaded side of hills.

Zhou Yi arrived outside the 702 cave dwelling, clearly sensing the Yin Sha, and subconsciously activated his Mysterious Armor Shield, his right hand primed on the Heavenly Thunder Pearl, while the Gathering Heart Nail in his sleeve was ready to be launched.

"Brother Leng, are you there? This poor Daoist has come to repair the Formation."

Creak!

The door of the cave dwelling opened, and a wave of chilling Yin Sha hit him in the face.

Zhou Yi raised the Water Elemental Pearl above his head, causing a deep blue waterfall to fall, blocking the Yin Sha outside, while the boots on his feet glinted with light, propelling him back more than twenty zhang.

A grey-robed Taoist came out from the door, slightly startled at the scene, he clasped his hands and said.

"I am Leng Yun, my wife accidentally destroyed the Mystifying Array, I must trouble my fellow Daoist to repair it."

Zhou Yi pretended to check his storage bag and said helplessly, "I have run out of materials to set up the formation. I'll have to go back to get more. Leng Daoist can just wait at home."

Before he had finished speaking, he was already a hundred yards away.

Leng Yun's breath was strong and far surpassed the several late-stage Qi Refinement cultivators Zhou Yi had met. He did not want to bet on whether Leng Yun was a good person!

...

Back at the office.

Zhou Yi let down his guard slightly and inquired about Leng Yun's background with Luo Xun.

Luo Xun said, "Brother Leng is proficient in refining corpses. It's normal for him to emit some Yin energy because of the influence of the Yin Sha from refining corpses."

Zhou Yi frowned slightly, "Can such heretical practices also take place in Dan Mountain Market?"

If Dan Mountain Market condones corpse-refining evil cultivators, it's time to consider finding another place for cultivation. Now Zhou Yi was no longer a novice in the Cultivation World; he knew the locations of several Dan Cauldron Sect marketplaces on Cloud Continent.

Things like inheritance, organization, and connections were, in Zhou Yi's eyes, less important than safety.

"Brother Leng only has one corpse that he refined, and he never uses it to fight or kill."

Luo Xun knew quite a bit about Leng Yun and continued, "That corpse is his mortal wife, who was killed by his enemies as revenge. Brother Leng refined her into a zombie in hopes that she could regain consciousness someday."

"This..."

Zhou Yi frowned slightly: "If a zombie gains consciousness, isn't it a different person then?"

Luo Xun shrugged his shoulders: "Who knows? That zombie is indeed mysterious. It becomes calm when it sees Brother Leng. If not for the death energy, it would be like a quiet living person."

Zhou Yi had read many books, but he had never come across such records. He wondered, "Can the executive immortals really allow this?"

Luo Xun spoke softly, "Xuan Lin, the True Person, said that with such deep feelings between husband and wife, who would object?"

"So that's how it is."

Zhou Yi suddenly understood; living reclusively with the protection of a True Person, Leng Yun's nurturing of a refined corpse would not be an issue.

Luo Xun added, "I also approve of this matter. Brother Leng has concerns, which makes him more worthy of deep interaction. A person with no attachments can also be heartless and ruthless!"

"Makes sense."

Zhou Yi could tell that Luo Xun was hinting at him, not criticizing or accusing.

Unfortunately, Zhou Yi was destined to be without attachments, but that didn't mean he was heartless or ruthless. He was eager to act chivalrously when encountering things he couldn't ignore, as long as it didn't affect his own safety.

After completing his shift.

Zhou Yi went to the spirit fields and found Xiao Tiezhu waiting there.

Xiao Tiezhu said respectfully, "Thank you, senior, for your guidance. I can't repay you, so I offer these Five Dou of Spiritual Rice."

Zhou Yi smiled and said, "With your output, you could at best have two or three dou left over. Giving me five dou, wouldn't you be unable to pay your residence's debt?"

"How can I not repay you for teaching me how to farm?"

Xiao Tiezhu insisted on offering the Spirit Rice, adding, "I've registered to go up the mountain to mine, and incidentally, I can use the Spiritual Energy to improve my cultivation."

Zhou Yi became interested upon hearing this and put the Spirit Rice into his storage bag while chatting casually with Xiao Tiezhu in the field.

"How did you embark on the path of cultivation?"

Xiao Tiezhu was a forthright person, not yet exposed to the treacherous world of cultivation, and he felt that Zhou Yi had treated him well, so he spoke frankly about his own origins.

"I'm from Lean Mountain Village..."

Lean Mountain Village was at the edge of Cloud Mountain. Xiao Tiezhu had lost his parents at a young age and survived by begging from different households. As an adult, he opened up wasteland to farm and barely managed to keep himself fed.

Ten years ago.

Xiao Tiezhu was chopping wood on the mountain and stumbled upon a severely injured Taoist on the verge of death.

The Taoist, knowing his life was about to end, found that Xiao Tiezhu had a Spirit Root, thus passed on an Immortal Technique to him. He told him to come to Dan Mountain Market after reaching the second level of Qi Refinement.

"This experience, it seems like I've seen it a few days ago!"

Zhou Yi thought back to the characters in the storybook, which more or less matched Xiao Tiezhu's experiences.
