Chapter 5 Dachun is long-lived, Xiaopang is extraordinary

“Clouds follow the dragon, wind follows the tiger, and the child of destiny will always have good helpers by his side.”

Shang Ting pondered secretly, looking at Zhang Xiaopang with sparkling eyes.

Although he failed to recruit Zhong Nianhua, this little fat guy might not be an ordinary person.

The art of peeping!
As the two men walked side by side, Shang Ting looked above Zhang Xiaopang’s head.

The good fortune appeared, but it turned into a blue-black rat-shaped creature!
The rat was baring its fangs and claws, revealing its terrifyingly cold teeth and a blood-red tongue.

Above the rat’s head was a blue sky with clouds, but they were a little thin at this time.

“What kind of path is this?”

Shang Ting found it difficult to tell at first glance that this rat was different from any of the monsters he had hunted six hundred years ago.

On the contrary…it looks like an ordinary mouse in the mortal world.

But it was definitely not the [Sharp-Toothed Rat] that the Huoyang Sect had identified during its foundation-building process.

As for the path, it will be hard to tell for the time being.

The destiny has its own path attributes.

Such as the common five elements such as gold, wood, water, fire and earth.

There are also rare paths of destiny such as [Luck], [Yin and Yang], [Strength], [Soul], and [Control].

Such as Shang Jianfeng and Shang Ruyao’s [Demon-Slaying Sword] and [Demon-Slaying Knife].

It is the essence of kendo and sword.

And Zhong Nianhua’s [Little Green Bottle] carries the blue sky and green clouds.

It looks like it belongs to the wood path, or the instrument path.

And this mouse
“Could it be the beast’s destiny? This blue sky and clouds mean that Zhang Xiaopang will rise to great heights in the future!”

“I never thought there would be such an unexpected gain!”

Shang Ting whispered in his heart.

Youth sports have always symbolized rapid advancement and improvement in status and class.

Extraordinary.

Perhaps he should have noticed this when he paid attention to Zhong Nianhua just now.

It’s just that Zhang Xiaopang was overshadowed by Zhong Nianhua’s great luck.

“Brother Shang, do we have anything delicious to eat?”

Zhang Xiaopang smiled foolishly and asked:
“Besides liking a beautiful wife, I, Zhang Xiaopang, love eating delicious food the most!”

Shang Ting smiled when he heard this and touched Zhang Xiaopang’s head.

This boy was fifteen years old like himself, but he was underdeveloped and half a head shorter than himself.

His hair felt dry and yellow, and he was thin.

Born in a farming family, it was difficult for me to maintain my body’s needs due to malnutrition.

“Our business is a family of immortal cultivators, don’t worry, Little Fatty. We will have all kinds of delicious fish and meat, as well as delicacies from the mountains and the sea, for you to enjoy.”

Shang Ting had a slight liking for this simple-minded farm boy and said with a smile.

If Zhang Xiaopang agreed to marry into the Shang family, he would have to marry a mortal woman from the Shang family, and his descendants must also have the surname Shang.

Then we are one of us.

Look at his silly look, coupled with his extraordinary luck.

When Zhong Nianhua becomes successful in the future, Zhang Xiaopang’s family will definitely benefit from it.

As we walked to the mountainside, many people around us had already left.

After arriving, Shang Ting saw at a glance that there were nearly twenty girls standing densely beside Shang Yangde!

Thanks to Shang Ting’s efforts, Shang Yangde reaped great rewards.

The budget for fifteen people was easily achieved, with five extra!
“Okay, fellow immortals, our team is waiting at the foot of the mountain. Let’s enjoy a delicious meal there first, and then we’ll set off!”

Shang Yangde called out loudly, and a group of nearly thirty people went down the mountain in a mighty manner.

“Xiaoting, when did you become so opinionated? After awakening your true nature, your mind has become much smarter.”

Shang Yangde said cheerfully, and Shang Fanyan and five other peers also smiled.

Shang Ting’s clever plan really saved the family a lot of losses.

“Although it is a mortal life, it also brings me many benefits.”

Shang Ting responded calmly.

Shang Yangde recalled Shang Ting’s calm demotion from the Dengxian Terrace, and his evaluation of Shang Ting reached a higher level.

Pain can often sharpen a person’s spirit.

Shang Ting, as a person of middle-grade spiritual root, was once the best among his peers along with Jian Feng Ruyao. But the other two successfully awakened their mutual life, and even the other people with lower-grade spiritual roots also awakened their spiritual life.

On the contrary, it was Shang Ting who ended up with the ordinary life of [Wasteland].

Shang Yangde hurriedly brought everyone to welcome Shang Ting, fearing that he would suffer a blow and become discouraged.

But Shang Ting’s two unexpected performances showed that he had become calmer.

He showed a calmness and wisdom that was not in line with his age.

“Xiaoting, it’s great that you have this kind of character. Your uncle is very pleased.”

“Keep it up. The road to becoming an immortal is long. One aptitude test cannot determine everything. A cultivator’s character is often more important than aptitude.”

Shang Yangde smiled, stroked Shang Ting’s shoulder, and said solemnly.

……

Gulu Gulu.

Two days later, at dusk.

Shang Ting sat upright in the carriage, accompanied by the rapid rolling of the carriage wheels and the sound of horse hooves.

As he closed his eyes and meditated, a sense of time and wood gradually spread around his body.

Among the merchants, except Shang Yangde who is in the late stage of Qi training, the rest are all in the early stage of Qi training.

Naturally, it was impossible to travel by spaceship or flying sword, so he was picked up by the family’s carriage team.

Although this move is quite tacky and has no immortal style.

But for the vast majority of foundation-building families, this is the most practical way to travel.

Each of the black rhinoceros horses raised by merchants is a rare and top-quality horse in the world, and can easily travel 160 miles a day.

“Shang’er, how long does it take to get from Huoyang Sect to Corpse Demon Mountain?”

After a long time, Shang Ting finished his practice and heard Zhang Xiaopang’s question.

“Twenty to thirty days.”

Shang Ting replied.

It was a long journey, and it was no exaggeration. It had taken them more than twenty days to get here by carriage.

Now the number of people has doubled, and the pace of progress has slowed down a lot.

Zhang Xiaopang couldn’t stand the loneliness any longer, so he came over and said with a silly smile:

“I have practiced the technique and it feels quite smooth. Now I am also at the first level of Qi training and have officially embarked on the path to becoming an immortal!”

A family of immortal cultivators usually preserves various cultivation techniques to suit the different development directions of their children.

What Zhang Xiaopang chose was the merchant’s water technique called “Quan Xin Gong”.

“good.”

Shang Ting nodded slightly.

As for the techniques, he did not practice the earth-based techniques according to his natal star [Wasteland].

Instead, he continued to practice the wood-doing technique “Dachun Longevity Technique” from his previous life!
In his previous life, his natal star was the wood immortal item [Dachun].

This technique is exactly what Shang Ting has been comprehending after 500 years of studying Dachun’s true nature.

Summarize and integrate the insights gained and create your own.

There is only one magical thing about “Dachun Longevity Exercise”, and that is prolonging life!
“A large tree has a spring of 8,000 years and an autumn of 8,000 years. It takes 32,000 years to complete one year.”

Shang Ting felt the aura of time permeating around him and thought:

“But the Dachun Longevity Technique that I created can only consider eighty years old as spring and eighty years old as autumn.”

But even if it’s only one percent effective, each layer can add a lot of life to the kiosk.

Theoretically, even if one can only survive one spring in the Qi training period, one can still extend his lifespan by 80 years.

Can live up to 180 years old!
When one reaches the foundation-building stage, one can fully survive a spring and autumn, and the limit to lifespan increase is 320 years!
Plus the original 100-year life span added to the foundation-building period…

Shang Ting can live to 600 years old when he reaches the foundation building stage! Longevity is as good as that of a golden elixir!

However, Shang Ting in his previous life only achieved this skill in the late stage of Jindan.

At that time, he had not much time left to live, and practicing this skill was only a way to prolong his life.

“In this life, I can start from scratch, take one step at a time, and truly achieve immortality!”

Shang Ting completed his internal cultivation, feeling the vitality permeating his body, and felt extremely relaxed.

Thinking of this, Shang Ting couldn’t help but wonder about his own destiny.

“To be able to carry my memories, my destiny in this life must be extraordinary.”

“So what is its path?”
