To achieve immortality, I cultivate using Qi Luck

Two hundred years hurried by, in the blink of an eye.

Mi Yun Mountain.

"Brother Xiao, wait for me."

Xiao Jingyi steered the flying boat towards the direction of the Mountain Gate, as a streak of escaping light rapidly approached from behind and descended towards him.

He turned his head for a glance, recognizing a familiar face—it was his junior fellow disciple, Yang Xiuan.

"Brother Xiao, it’s been a hundred years. Is everything well with you?"

Yang Xiuan landed on the flying boat, looking at Xiao Jingyi, he couldn’t help but raise his hand in a salute.

"Junior Brother Yang."

Looking at Yang Xiuan, Xiao Jingyi didn’t dare to presume, and hurriedly returned the salute, "I am well, how about you, Junior Brother?"

During the conversation, he was sizing up the other party.

As a cultivator, the journey of cultivation is a process of ceaselessly perfecting one’s own life.

After undergoing the three transformations in becoming immortal, a cultivator’s state will evolve towards perfection.

Therefore, those with profound cultivation are, unless they deliberately maintain it, usually exceedingly beautiful; there are none that are ugly.

Despite this, there is still a distinction between the levels of handsomeness.

However, the Yang Xiuan before him gave Xiao Jingyi a sense of perfection, and he couldn’t help but be startled.

For this state, he had only seen it in those who are True Immortals.

’This Junior Brother Yang, I heard that in recent years, he has already exchanged the fate of a whole country from the sect and began his assault on the Immortal Realm. Observing his aura now, could it be he has already touched this threshold and is about to become immortal?’

Xiao Jingyi thought to himself.

Yang Xiuan had previously mentioned that he was once the head of the Yang Family of Wind Thunder Fortress, and after pledging loyalty to Taiping Dao, he became a true heir disciple of the sect.

Two hundred years ago, the other party had gathered enough Contribution Points through dedicating family fortune to meet the requirement for exchanging a country’s fate.

But he did not use it immediately; instead, he spent another hundred years in fresh cultivation until finally, thirty years ago, he cultivated his magic power to the level of a True Immortal, in addition to his Divine Powers.

It was only at that time that he finally began his assault on becoming immortal.

He exchanged Contribution Points for the fate of Xiaye Country and formally started his assault on the Immortal Realm.

Now, thirty years have passed. His Essence, Qi, and Spirit are perfected, his bodily aura overflows, clearly resembling that of a True Immortal.

This person, he might truly become immortal.

With this thought, Xiao Jingyi’s heart filled with lament.

Previously, he had requested from his Master to travel abroad, hoping to seize chances like his fellow disciples, exploring secrets and presenting treasures to the sect in exchange for Contribution Points.

But his fortune was not favorable.

In the two hundred years, he ventured out many times, but the gains were meager.

Originally, he thought he would find treasures within a few decades to exchange for Contribution Points and, like Yang Xiuan, would use the remaining Lifespan to diligently cultivate in seclusion, hoping to develop another True Immortal Dao Fruit to increase his success rate in his assault on the Immortal Realm.

Now, all these plans have come to nothing.

Not to mention a few decades, Xiao Jingyi, due to wasted time traveling, had to spend a full two hundred years to gather enough Contribution Points to exchange for a country’s fate.

This pace was even slower than if he had earnestly performed tasks within the sect to accumulate Contribution Points.

But now it was too late for regrets.

He had squandered two hundred years, with only a hundred left in his Lifespan. Time was running short.

Therefore, ten years ago, Xiao Jingyi applied to the sect to exchange for the fate of Anyang Country, and there, in seclusion, he attempted to break through to the realm of a True Immortal.

But whether it was due to insufficient accumulation or the past failures affecting his mindset, his decade of secluded cultivation bore little fruit.

Relying solely on this one Divine Powers Dao Fruit to attempt becoming immortal was exceedingly difficult.

With the current situation, even if he cultivated another ninety years, the chances of success seemed bleak.

If he failed this time, even if he survived the tribulation of becoming immortal, the remainder of his Lifespan would not last more than two years.

He was growing old without having achieved anything, while his junior brother before him was so youthful and spirited, with a bright future in the Great Tao.

Such a comparison filled Xiao Jingyi’s heart with a bitter and desolate taste.

"Junior brother is alright too."

Yang Xiuan, seeing the miserable state of his senior brother, secretly smiled to himself, and then purposely congratulated, "I have not yet congratulated Brother for the recent retirement of the School Leader True Person, who has dedicated himself to deep cultivation in preparation for breaking through to the Realm of an Earth Immortal.

With the innate talent and foundation of the School Leader, this retreat will surely lead to the achievement of the Earth Flower Dao Fruit, and a Lifespan that spans tens of thousands of years.

As the School Leader’s chief disciple, your status will naturally rise along with the School Leader’s breakthrough, and in the future, you will be the successor of an Earth Immortal’s true teachings.

At that time, I hope Brother will be able to look out for me."

The Yang Family of Wind Thunder Fortress and Qing Mountain Pavilion, although they previously were both local Immortal Sects of Qingyang Country, and even had many connections, counting as half of one’s own people,

even among one’s people, there were grievances.

Originally, the Yang Family of Wind Thunder Fortress wanted to be independent, while Qing Mountain Pavilion helped Jintai Gate with the takeover. Yang Xiuan, as the head of the Yang Family, had to maneuver through difficult situations, enduring many humiliations along the way.

Among those who bullied him was the current Xiao Jingyi.

Fortunately, Heaven eventually took notice, Taiping Dao arrived, and in one go, both Qing Mountain Pavilion and the Yang Family were taken in by the sect, turning from semi-affiliated partners to fellow disciples outright.

Without the support of Jintai Gate, Qing Mountain had no power left to fear, and the Yang Family finally need not worry about them.

So, some past grievances, once they become fellow disciples of the same sect, came to light.

Conflicts occasionally arose between the two factions of disciples.

Of course, now that everyone was part of the same family, with Taiping Dao’s oversight, they dare not go too far, limiting themselves to verbal spats upon encounters.

But even so, whenever conflicts arose between the two factions of disciples, it was often those of Qing Mountain Pavilion who had the upper hand.
