Grinding Cultivation Toward Martial Saint-Chapter 1240 - 164: Immortal

Small courtyard, within the bamboo pavilion.

"Good wine!" 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Taking a sip of Jiang Ning’s wine, Xia Xuanyan praised immediately.

At the same time.

Xia Wanqin filled Jiang Ning’s cup with wine.

"Master Xia, a Primordial Spirit Strong Person, a self-contained small world, what exactly does this mean? I wonder if you could enlighten me," Jiang Ning took the opportunity to ask his doubts.

Upon hearing this.

Xia Xuanyan smiled faintly, "If this were in Xuanhuang Cave Heaven, this would merely be common knowledge of the Immortal Dao! The Primordial Spirit is a transformation of the Divine Soul using one’s True Spirit as a medium. A Primordial Spirit Strong Person, while not having full mastery of the rules of the world, can, by virtue of their strong Primordial Spirit, influence the rules of the heavens and earth within a certain range, becoming the master of that realm."

"Reaching this stage, even if the external world is harsh, unlike the glorious days of the Ancient Era, I can still exert eighty percent of my power within the Pocket World and not suffer a loss of spiritual power due to the siphoning of the external world."

Hearing Xia Xuanyan’s words, Jiang Ning immediately understood why Granny Bai held Qingyuan Taoist in such high regard at that time.

Someone like Pang Yunhai, clearly outside the Grotto Heaven, cannot fully wield the power of Immortal Dao divine skills and techniques, and thus can only rely on martial arts to fight Prince Huaian, not being a Primordial Spirit Strong Person.

However, Qingyuan Taoist is different.

A hidden sword strike severely injured Prince Huaian, instilling fear in him, allowing Qingyuan Taoist to leave with Pang Yunhai.

This is the influence of a Primordial Spirit Strong Person.

"A self-contained small world..." Jiang Ning murmured.

Upon hearing this, Xia Xuanyan smiled lightly, "How about it? Are you interested in the Immortal Dao? You possess the Immortal Root, you can completely walk the Immortal path, and with your insight, you may one day condense the Primordial Spirit like me, achieving longevity, overlooking the rise and fall of the world’s heroes."

"Longevity?" Jiang Ning’s eyes focused, showing surprise, "Achieving the Primordial Spirit grants longevity?"

"No!" Xia Xuanyan slowly shook his head, "At least not in this era."

Then he continued, "Achieving the Primordial Spirit in the Ancient Era was the symbol of an Immortal. Anyone who achieved the Primordial Spirit could easily transcend to immortality, calling them a prospective Immortal was not a problem."

"To become immortal is to shed the mortal flesh and condense the Immortal Body!"

"Once achieved, the body no longer ages, the Immortal Body remains stable for eternity, with the only limits on lifespan being the Primordial Spirit’s time limit and the Heavenly Person’s Five Decays!"

"However, that spans an unbelievably long time, and it wouldn’t be wrong to call it longevity."

"Even in this era, achieving the Primordial Spirit, living in places like the Cave Heaven Blessed Land for seven or eight thousand years is entirely possible."

"Seven or eight thousand years, even up to ten thousand, can you not call that longevity?"

Jiang Ning quietly listened to Xia Xuanyan’s explanation.

Hearing Xia Xuanyan’s final rhetorical question.

He shook his head immediately, "No issue."

Then he said, "For ordinary people, a life is but a fleeting few decades, seventy to eighty years, four generations living together, but seven or eight thousand years, for ordinary people. For an ordinary person, that is longevity."

"That’s right!" Xia Xuanyan laughed and nodded.

Then, he took a sip of wine, his gaze once again filled with admiration.

"This Emperor’s Liquid, worthy of being a Demon Clan’s Holy Object, can purify bloodlines and cleanse the body. It is indeed an exceptional Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure."

"If Master Xia likes it, I can give you some!" Jiang Ning said.

"I don’t need it!" Xia Xuanyan shook his head, "You should keep it! This thing can improve your Innate Root Bone, enhance your potential and foundation, and when you have children one day, it will be priceless."

At this, he glanced at Xia Wanqin.

"By the way, what do you think of my daughter?"

Upon hearing this.

Jiang Ning glanced at Xia Wanqin.

"Virtuous and graceful, with a face like a flower and moon, few women in the world can compare."

Hearing Jiang Ning’s praise, Xia Xuanyan nodded in satisfaction.

"My daughter previously spoke highly of you, and I thought she was exaggerating. Seeing you in person, I understand now, you deserve to be the foremost prodigy of the age!"

"Master Xia praises me too much!" Jiang Ning humbled himself.

"I never praise people lightly!" Xia Xuanyan shook his head, then said, "The world would not have guessed, at such a young age, you completed eight blood transfusions, with such a strong physique! But I must remind you, the number nine is the extreme, the ninth blood transfusion is extremely dangerous."

"The dangers involved are much greater than the first eight combined!"

"To survive the final hurdle, you need to find True Dragon Blood, Xuanhuang Liquid, treasures that purify the body, bringing about a bodily transformation."

At this point, Xia Xuanyan smiled faintly again.

"Xuanhuang Liquid, we have stock in our Xuanhuang Cave Heaven."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning cupped his hands and said, "I wonder what conditions Master Xia requires for the Xuanhuang Liquid."

"Marry someone from my family and leave descendants!" Xia Xuanyan said again, "You don’t have to answer this immediately, you can take your time to consider!"

With these words.

Xia Xuanyan stood up.

"Whenever you make up your mind, just have Wanqin notify me!"

After saying this, Xia Xuanyan made his departure.

Seeing this, Xia Wanqin glanced at Jiang Ning, then followed.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Ning also stood up and escorted the two to the courtyard gate.

...

At the courtyard gate.

Watching the two leaving figures, Jiang Ning slowly retracted his gaze.

He understood the meaning of Xia Xuanyan’s words just now.

Although it wasn’t stated explicitly, every conversation guided him toward the benefits of walking the Immortal path, especially the benefits of achieving the Primordial Spirit.

A Primordial Spirit Strong Person, with ten thousand years of lifespan, is enough to tempt countless others.
