Evil Master and Disciple

Chapter 1510 Can good fortune bring longevity?

Ye Feng made no attempt to hide the undeniable fact that he was a coward who clung to life and feared death.

He bluntly told Bai Ruoshui that he did not cultivate his Qi Luck because he was afraid of dying.

Bai Ruoshui's ethereal voice suddenly carried a hint of doubt as she asked, "People who cultivate Qi don't live long? Who told you that?"

"Huh? Do we need to hear what others say? This is a consensus among all people. Confucianism cultivates one's fortune, and none of the great Confucian scholars lived past five hundred years old. Even Confucian sages rarely lived past two hundred."

The Buddhist cultivation system used to cultivate "qi" (vital energy), but because people don't live long, they all switched to cultivating the primordial spirit. Those who possess "qi" cannot live long; this is a natural law of the universe.

"Oh, I see. It seems that the long passage of time has caused many ancient cultivation methods to be lost. This is true of the Dragon Vein Cultivation Technique, and it is also true of the Qi Luck Cultivation Technique."

"White...White Fairy, you...you mean that cultivating one's luck can lead to longevity?"

"of course can."

"Really?"

Ye Feng's eyes lit up instantly, and he said, "You're not trying to fool me, are you?"

"Why would I deceive you? All cultivation techniques in the human world originated from witchcraft. Within the witchcraft system, there is a cultivation technique based on Qi Luck, and it is a top-tier cultivation method."

The great beings of ancient times cultivated the power of fortune, collecting the incense offerings and faith of all living beings. That is why they set up temples in the human world so that people could worship them.

Cultivating one's fortune will not shorten one's lifespan; on the contrary, it is a method of cultivation that prolongs life. As long as there are people who worship him, he can gain power.

These were the original gods.

However, it is impossible to achieve immortality. Luck can only increase a cultivator's lifespan. What can truly grant immortality is the necromancy I told you about in the underground cave.

Unfortunately, necromancy was too evil and cruel, and was not tolerated by the world.

After hearing Bai Ruoshui's words, Ye Feng stood there stunned.

What's going on? How come what this witch is saying is completely opposite to what I know?

Those who are blessed with good fortune may not live long; this is a truth that has been passed down through the ages.

And this is indeed the case. Confucian scholars do not live long lives, almost the same as ordinary mortals, which is far less than that of cultivators who practice Taoism.

However, Bai Ruoshui said at this moment that cultivating Qi would not only not shorten one's lifespan, but could actually prolong it.

This left Ye Feng unsure whether to believe Bai Ruoshui or the timeless truth.

He wanted to refute Bai Ruoshui's words, but he couldn't find any angle to do so.

Whether it was Earth in the past or the world before us, there are indeed many temples.

The gods in mythology do indeed have their own temples in various places on earth.

Is it possible that the reason why so-called immortals can live so long is because they collect the incense offerings and faith of all living beings?

If what Bai Ruoshui said is true, that cultivating one's luck can prolong life, then Ye Feng really wants to learn it.

The Imperial Seal he carried contained almost inexhaustible fortune, which he originally intended to use as a power bank for the Divine Brush and Divine Inkstone.

If I could absorb all this good fortune, wouldn't I be able to soar to the heavens immediately?

Although Ye Feng was very tempted and his eyes were starting to light up, he still didn't dare to completely believe Bai Ruoshui's words.

First of all, he was not familiar with Bai Ruoshui and had only exchanged a few words with her, so he could not trust her completely.

Because Bai Ruoshui sought immortality and practiced necromancy, she was sealed in a white jade statue by her clansmen.

This alone is not enough to make Ye Feng trust Bai Ruoshui completely.

Secondly, the saying that those who possess great fortune cannot live long, which has been passed down among people for countless years, has long been deeply ingrained in people's minds.

If it were possible to prolong life, why would Buddhism turn to cultivating the primordial spirit? Why have Confucian sages throughout the ages not been able to live long lives?

Ye Feng planned to ask the ancestor, Old Man Qingyun, and Miss Mozhu when he had some free time.

Perhaps we can deduce from these three people whether Bai Ruoshui is deceiving us.

Thinking of this, Ye Feng said, "So, Fairy Bai, you know how to cultivate Qi and Luck?"

"Of course, I told you when we first met that back then, in order to deal with the threat of the human race, I planned to take a gamble and integrate the witchcraft of the other five ancient witch clans. Although I am a witch of the White Witch Clan, I also understand the witchcraft of the other five clans. And the witchcraft of the six major witch clans at that time all originated from ancient witchcraft."

The dragon vein cultivation method I passed on to Luan Xiong is a cultivation method within the divine summoning technique system inherited by the Miao witch clan.

I passed on to these girls a cultivation method that allows them to absorb the power of the furnace within their bodies, a method from the Heavenly Spirit Techniques system of the Spirit Witch Clan.

The art of cultivating Qi and destiny is a cultivation system within the life arts system of my White Witch Clan.

The era I lived in was around the time of the Fourth Human-Witch War, nearly 30,000 years ago. In that era, only my White Witch Clan knew how to cultivate the art of Qi and Destiny.

As for what happened later, and why the art of cultivating Qi came into the possession of you Han people and spread among you, I have no idea because I was sealed in the jade statue of the witch goddess.

According to my estimation, after my clansmen sealed me away, they submitted to the Great Yu Dynasty. My clansmen not only leaked necromancy, but also many secret techniques from my six great witch clans.

However, the secret methods obtained by the Han people were incomplete, so they did not know how to balance Yin and Yang energies when cultivating the dragon vein, nor did they know that the power of fortune was a divine method to prolong life and enhance strength.

Young Master Ye, I am now just a wisp of soul. It was you who brought me out of the dark and sunless underground cave, allowing me to see this world anew.

If you wish to learn the art of Qi and destiny, I can teach you. This is as a way of repaying your kindness in bringing me out of poverty.

Ye Feng stared at the white jade statue, lost in thought.

In the end, he still felt that he had no grudge against Bai Ruoshui and that Bai Ruoshui had no reason to lie to him.

Besides, it doesn't matter if I'm deceiving myself. As a collector of cultivation techniques, I can choose not to cultivate the Qi cultivation method I obtained. It's nice to just keep it in my treasure chest.

So Ye Feng grinned and said, "Actually, bringing you out of the cave was just a small favor, nothing big."

Regarding the method of cultivating Qi, it's not that I wanted it, but you insisted on repaying me, and I couldn't refuse... otherwise, wouldn't I be breaking your heart?

After saying that, Ye Feng took out paper and pen and said, "You can speak now. I will write it down and study it carefully later."

What is shamelessness? This is shamelessness!

He clearly wanted to learn, but he insisted that Bai Ruoshui wanted to repay him, and he reluctantly accepted Bai Ruoshui's repayment. He was shameless!
