Chapter 2: The Collection of Spirit Gathering
Do you have a magical elixir that can replace hundreds of years of arduous cultivation with just one pill
However, one cannot just watch him starve to death; the ancient fairy instructed to take good care of him before leaving. Remembering that fierce woman, the old man couldn't help but shiver.
After Li Chengzhu, driven by extreme hunger, pounced on a small bird resembling a sparrow in the forest, only to be turned into an ice sculpture by a barrage of ice arrows from the other party, the old man remarked as follows
Li Chengzhu immediately showed a look of disappointment: "Where did you get this from?"
If it weren't for the timely rescue by the old man, I might have already frozen to death because of that little bird
The celestial guide in the celestial realm assists immortals in ascending, which typically takes no more than a hundred years. The gifts received are mostly elixirs or local specialties, and only two cultivation methods have been received. In comparison, it is believed that the "Gathering Spirit Compendium" should be considered a mid-level cultivation method even in the celestial realm, which is why it was imparted to Li Chengzhu
Li Chengzhu can now truly be said to be inferior to even an infant, having only reached the late stage of Xuan Zhao, and not even attaining the Pi Gu stage.
With a twinkle in his eye, Li Chengzhu rubbed his hands together and said with a smile, "Do you, esteemed elder, have that kind of immortal fruit that allows one to share the same longevity as heaven and earth, and shine alongside the sun and moon?"
In the words of the old man, it is: "You really stepped into a big pile of dog poop."
What you are doing is incorrect! The celestial guide, troubled by Li Chengzhu, was left in a state of restlessness and had no choice but to agree to his minimal request: to teach him the ways of cultivating immortality
However, it was unexpected that the Celestial Guide passed this technique to Li Chengzhu. If the Master Hong Xing had given a little more advice at that time, the Celestial Guide would not have allowed Li Chengzhu to practice such a dangerous method of cultivation
After finishing his meal, Li Chengzhu let out a satisfied burp and asked with a smile, "Are these the legendary celestial fruits that can enhance one's power by a hundred or eighty years with just one bite? I feel invigorated all over."
The celestial realm is not solely inhabited by immortals; it is merely one of the countless realms within this universe. Not everyone is invincible; rather, the starting point for cultivation in the celestial realm is significantly better than that in the mortal realm. Every newborn infant is a master at the Nascent Soul stage, and those with exceptional talent can even directly reach the Out-of-Body stage or the Divided Spirit stage.
There is none
That Wenxu Sparrow is indeed a first-tier spirit beast of the immortal realm, and it has reduced you to this state. You truly are exceptionally useless
... ...
Later, Li Chengzhu suffered greatly because of this cultivation method, and the guiding celestial envoy was extremely frustrated by this.
The experience of capturing that crested ibis today made Li Chengzhu realize that in the fairy realm at https://m.hetushu.com, he was nothing at all. The only way out was to cultivate immortality. Thus, he became entangled with the old farmer from Shaanxi, asking him to be his master and teach him the ways of cultivation.
These items are all offerings from those who have ascended from the mortal realm to honor me, the elder
A few days of casual conversation allowed Li Chengzhu to acquire some basic knowledge about cultivation. In the mortal realm, cultivation can be divided into a total of thirteen stages: Foundation Establishment, Rotation of Light, Spirit Nourishment, Opening of Light, Integration, Heart Movement, Spiritual Tranquility, Nascent Soul, Out-of-Body, Separation of Spirit, Integration of Body, Tribulation Crossing, and Great Ascension. Each stage consists of three periods: early, middle, and late.
Although the old man agreed, the various cultivation methods circulated in the celestial realm are all tailored to the physique of celestial beings. Although Li Chengzhu has undergone transformation through the guiding celestial light, making his physical strength somewhat comparable to that of a semi-celestial body, it is still significantly better than that of an ordinary celestial being. However, if he were to truly practice the cultivation methods of the celestial realm, the inevitable outcome would be a violent death due to bodily explosion. Therefore, after sifting through nearly a century's worth of bribes received, the guiding celestial envoy finally found a cultivation method suitable for Li Chengzhu from the storage ring.

Do you have ... ...
As the old man said, he forcibly seized a small portion of the guiding celestial light from the ancient fairy, and as a result, not only did his body become incredibly strong, but his recovery ability also reached an abnormal level. The swollen body from a few days ago had already fully recovered, and his cultivation level jumped directly from having no foundation to the late stage of the Rotation Illumination. Moreover, due to the transformation brought about by the guiding celestial light, any future cultivation would undoubtedly yield twice the result with half the effort.
The old man, dressed in the attire of a farmer from Shaanxi, claimed to be the 47th celestial guide of the celestial realm. He has already reached the late stage of the Great Ascension and, in a few decades, will be qualified to rank among the immortals
There is none
Li Chengzhu, with a glint of green in his eyes, howled like a wolf as he snatched the fruit from the old man's hand, devouring it in a few bites.
"Do you have any food?" Li Chengzhu looked pitifully at the old farmer from Shaanxi. "How about you help me catch a few spirit beasts?"
Do you have a magical elixir that allows one to ascend directly and attain a position among the immortals with just one pill
There is none
The guiding celestial envoy rolled his eyes in exasperation. He had been in this position for nearly 100 years, and which ascended immortal had not treated him with utmost courtesy? Today, however, someone actually dared to set their sights on him.
The realm of immortals, how many people's dreams have been trampled underfoot by me. Li Chengzhu could not help but secretly praise the thunder of the Thunder God for striking just at the right moment
"Here, these things are for you," said the old man as he flipped his hand, revealing several fruits in his palm
You truly are the first person to open up the heavens and create the world in the realm of immortals. The old man shook his head and said, "The first waste!"
"What the hell, how was I supposed to know it could shoot ice arrows? What kind of fairy realm is this? This is hell. Boo hoo... I'm so hungry," Li Chengzhu said, clutching his stomach and trembling.
Although the travel bag carried during the ascension to the immortal realm was also brought along, its contents only sustained Li Chengzhu for a few days. Today, unable to bear the hunger any longer, he finally set his sights on the small animals in the forest.
It has been several days since arriving in the celestial realm. Li Chengzhu is inherently the type of person who adapts to circumstances. Setting aside the initial fear and helplessness, he has now fully acclimated to the environment here and is astonished by the opportunities that have presented themselves.
The old man with a disheveled beard said: "Where could such good things exist? These are merely the fruits of the mortal realm"
Li Chengzhu thought it made sense; no matter which department, the gatekeepers always seem to receive numerous benefits. Even when he was a journalist, interviewing celebrities required him to offer some incentives to their agents. How much more so for the celestial guides in the realm of immortals? Moreover, those who can ascend to the celestial realm must have significant backgrounds in the mortal world, so the gifts presented should surely be more than just this
The "Gathering Spirit Collection" on the celestial body of Hongxing, also referred to by cultivators as the "Demon Cultivation Manual"! However, the celestial being Hongxing, endowed with exceptional talent, managed to successfully cultivate the "Gathering Spirit Collection". The celestial beings of Hongxing also recognized the dangers of the "Gathering Spirit Collection", which is why, upon ascending, they brought it to the celestial realm and subsequently presented it to the guiding celestial messenger.
"The Collection of Spirit Techniques" is a text that introduces a cultivation method aimed at maximizing the absorption of surrounding spiritual energy for personal use. This method is fundamentally different from conventional cultivation practices. Ordinary cultivation methods require practitioners to cultivate both their body and mind simultaneously. If a practitioner's cultivation level is too high but their character is insufficient, the ultimate outcome is often a descent into madness. In less severe cases, they may completely waste their cultivation and fall into the demonic realm; in more severe cases, their soul may be shattered, preventing any possibility of ascension for eternity.

The cultivation method titled "Gathering Spirit Collection" was bestowed by the celestial being Hongxing Shangxian to the guiding celestial envoy at the time of his ascension. When Hongxing Shangxian ascended to the celestial realm, he was merely an ordinary celestial being, yet within a mere century, he was able to cultivate to the level of Shangxian. It can be said that the efficacy of this cultivation method was entirely responsible for his rapid advancement.
However, "The Collection of Spirit Gathering" takes the opposite approach, emphasizing the utmost cultivation of one's body, while the mind must adapt to circumstances. One must possess the determination to break down before rebuilding, as this is essential for successful cultivation
No! Absolutely not!
