Hiss …

It was as if Charcoal's life force was sucked into his body. He let out a light breath, revealing a comfortable feeling as his chest expanded.

"Your zhenqi has an abundant amount of vitality. What kind of martial arts are you cultivating?" Charcoal raised his voice, sounding surprised.

"It's just an ancestral medical technique. I haven't practiced it for long." Liu Yan didn't dare to say too much and continued to vent his anger.

"Hmm …" Charcoal nodded slowly and didn't say anything else.

A few minutes later, Liu Yan absorbed all of the energy he had obtained from training into his body. Soon after, he discovered that Charcoal's body had gained a bit of vitality, and his internal organs seemed to be showing signs of improving.

"Thank you, little brother. Your training time is not long, but your true qi is full of life, allowing me to live for two more hours." Charcoal's voice returned to normal, no longer weak. His mouth was wide open, but his mouth was still considered normal. However, his face had been turned into charcoal, and it was hard to distinguish his eyes and nose.

Liu Yan sat down on the ground and was the first to speak. "Earlier, I was very far away and saw lightning striking this mountain. I saw a figure floating in the air, so I came over."

"Hehe …" "It seems that the two of us are fated. I have been cultivating in the mountains for almost ten years, and have never come into contact with any outsiders. This time, I have had a chance to break through, so I decided to take the risk." Hei Yan laughed lightly, and then said with a sigh, "Looks like the two of us are fated to be together.

His tone made Liu Yan even more disappointed, but his words still left Liu Yan inexplicably shocked. He didn't dare to nag and directly asked, "Old man, what is this cultivation you speak of? Are you a god? "

"A deity?" Charcoal laughed again, "Immortals are only legends. According to the traces that we cultivators have in the mortal world, this legend is made up by the people." You don't know anything about cultivation. Tell me, how did you cross this threshold? "

"So that's how it is. I still have a lot of time, so I'll introduce you to some cultivators …"

Charcoal spoke for half an hour. Liu Yan could tell that Charcoal had omitted a lot, but even so, great waves of shock still raged within his heart.

Through a special cultivation method, one would gather the "spiritual energy" wandering around the world to strengthen themselves, like a kind of evolution of the human body. Even if it was a person with minor achievements, their body would become invulnerable, their senses, speed, and reaction speed would all be much higher than that of a superman in a foreign movie. They would even become stronger, because cultivators could still grasp all kinds of magical techniques called supernatural powers.

Not everyone could become a cultivator. This required talent, or late stage cultivation, sensing the functions of the body, and deriving true energy before one could become a cultivator.

This kind of 'superhuman' was above ordinary people. However, the number of cultivators in this world was extremely rare, so few that it was impossible to count.

"Cultivators have been few and far between since ancient times. Every single one of them is an elite, divided into three stages according to their cultivation base …."

Elementary, True, and Emptiness Realm.

"Each great realm is further divided into several smaller realms. The Pre-Sky Realm martial artists are usually the martial arts masters. They practice martial arts, but their external martial arts are very hard …"

It turned out that the martial arts experts in the Wuxia novels really existed, but they were the lowest level of cultivators. Outer sect experts, inner sect experts, and grandmasters, only those who had reached the Grandmaster Realm, could be considered as having truly entered the sect.

Grandmasters were already extremely powerful existences. With inner strength, their bodies were invulnerable to swords and spears. They could control all the organs in the body and could hold them underwater for an entire day.

As for the Reality Realm, that meant they had cultivated enough zhenqi. This kind of power was equivalent to a bomb versus a firecracker. They were on a completely different level. True realm cultivators could absorb the spiritual energy in the air.

"Old man, is what I've cultivated out true qi?" Liu Yan asked. He didn't feel that he was invulnerable. Moreover, sometimes, when he was busy for too long, his body would also feel tired.

In order to understand his situation better, Liu Yan didn't try to hide anything. He directly told him that he cultivated the Life and Death Qi in his body through acupuncture and various tonics.

"The cultivation technique that was passed down in this world is pitifully few in number. Even with my shallow knowledge, I still can't recognize what kind of technique you're training in. Perhaps it's an unorthodox technique, but perhaps it's an even more profound cultivation method." Charcoal sighed and continued talking...

"But no matter what, the cultivation technique you're cultivating must not be leaked out to prevent others from using it and cause social unrest …"

"I understand." Liu Yan nodded. He didn't expect that this cultivator who had lived for two hundred years would actually have the attitude of defending his country. It was truly rare.

Following which, Charcoal started to talk about the various aspects of cultivation. With Liu Yan's level of education and ability to learn, he could only say that he barely understood them.

With regards to his own background, he also mentioned that in his youth, with the help of experts, he had embarked on the path of cultivation. In his youth, with the help of experts, he had embarked on the path of cultivation.

For the past ten years, he had been cultivating in seclusion in the water of the Spirit Mountain for the sake of breaking through. This was because the spiritual energy in this place could be considered rich and useful for cultivation.

The old man came to the Green Cloud Mountain and attracted the spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth, causing dark clouds to cover the sky and lightning to descend. It was a situation where he was on the verge of death.

"If it was the world fifty years ago, I would have broken through for sure. It's a pity that the environment right now is too harsh. My spiritual qi was severely drained, and my supreme cultivation base was destroyed …"

The old man's tone was filled with regret, but he remained silent.

"Old man?" Liu Yan hurriedly grabbed onto his burnt arm and breathed in another wave of Qi that had just recovered. Slightly checking, his heart was already cold, the old man was truly hopeless, his internal organs had all ruptured, the blood in his body had long since stopped flowing, and right now, he was completely relying on pure true qi.

"You and I are fated to come to my side. Are you willing to take me as your master? I've left behind quite a few cultivation letters and insights, as well as a fortune." the old man asked.

Liu Yan froze for a moment before immediately kneeling on the ground and kowtowing to him. He respectfully said, "Disciple Liu Yan greets Master."

"Hehe …" The old man laughed very calmly and was very gratified.

My name is Ye Nantian, you don't know what this name means, wait till you come into contact with the upper class, you have one billion dollars in wealth, and officials at the provincial government level and above, you will know who I am, but that is not important, my most important identity is one of the three true realm masters in China, my existence is comparable to the deterrence of one hundred atomic bombs, so my death cannot be revealed, do you understand?

The old man finally revealed his identity, causing Liu Yan to be stupefied. This was a person whom he could not even dream of contacting. However, he also understood the reasoning behind this statement and immediately nodded his head.

He will definitely answer your call. When you think it's appropriate, you can call him, and he will take care of my aftermath, and he will also make some arrangements for you. At the very least, you don't need to live in such a remote place, so you can obtain more resources to cultivate. Ye Nantian said slowly. He was already in a weak state.

"Master, do I need to help you with something?" Liu Yan hurriedly asked.

Ye Nantian said, "Your current strength is too low. All you need to do is cultivate. The strength of the Chinese cultivators represents a great power of the country. In this peaceful era, our existence is extremely important. "Unfortunately, I've already entered the gates of hell and can't guide you too much. I only hope that when I die, we will be able to form a good relationship."

"Master!" Liu Yan's nose was sour, and his voice was choked with sobs. At this moment, he was reminded of the scene of his grandfather dying. Similarly, he knelt on the ground, listening to his grandfather's instructions.

"I have never accepted a disciple in my life. Now that we are destined to be together, even though we are famous, we still have to remember each other. Even if you are a part of my Ye family, remember my family's teachings."

"I'll remember!" Only the sage and the savior can be subdued by others! " Liu Yan nodded his head. Although he had only been with Ye Nantian for less than two hours, Ye Nantian was no less important to him than his own grandfather. Ye Nantian had opened the door to a new world for Liu Yan.

"From here, two miles to the east, in another cave, is the place where I live. Inside, there is my personal belongings, there is a Ye Family plate, in the future, you can use this token to become a VIP guest of the Ye Family. My cultivation letter is also there, you must not leak it to anyone, or else the consequences will be unimaginable …"

"I've remembered it all!" Liu Yan nodded his head once more.

"Sigh... I am a cultivator, and the heavens and earth are my home. When the time comes, you can bury me in this mountain. This is my fate, so in the future, you can inform the Ye family that I will come here on the day of my ancestors' sacrifice. "If a cultivator breaks through to the Emptiness Realm, you must come to my grave and burn incense and tell me that I can die with no regrets …"

"Alright!" Liu Yan nodded. Although he did not understand, he still listened to Ye Nantian's words.

"Master, I've come with you …" Ye Nantian spat out some grey qi. Then he quivered and stopped talking.

"Master!" Liu Yan shouted. He held Ye Nantian's arm and felt the last bit of qi left in him. He found that Ye Nantian was dead and his internal organs had all decayed. He couldn't feel the qi anymore.

"Master..." Liu Yan opened his mouth widely and stared at Ye Nantian's charred body without saying anything for a long time. It was obvious from his words that Ye Nantian was a great figure before he was born, yet he died alone in the mountains.
