Chapter 622: The Edge of Immortality
The mountains themselves do not have much undulations, but the overall altitude is quite high.

The area covered is very large, so the height of the mountain cannot be seen. Even when standing on the mountain, one would think that the place where one is is a plain.

There are endless mountain groups and peaks in all parts of the mountain range, so they are collectively called Beishan.

Murong Ji frowned. It was not easy to find Shi Kuan's mother in such a place.

Suddenly, he thought of someone who might know more about Shi Kuan.

The Venerable Beishan.

This person is very mysterious. It is unknown whether he is a human or a demon. However, he has a very thorough understanding of the Demon Control Kingdom. So does he also know about Shi Kuan's origins?
[If it’s a human, then it’s going to be hard to deal with…]

After so long, the bones must have rotted away.

After a person dies, the soul and memory will normally dissipate, but in this world, there is also a Huangquan clan.

Coming back to his senses, he glanced at Tushan Rongrong, who was conscientiously helping Murong Ji clean the aloe vera.

Murong Ji couldn't help but smile. Tu Shan Rongrong was his apprentice after all. Helping her out and doing odd jobs made him feel warm, just like when they were on Qingyun Mountain...

Tushan Rongrong is not tall now, still a little loli. She crawled into the furnace and after she stood up, there was still a lot of space inside the furnace.

"Hahaha, Rongrong, don't rush to clean up the ashes, that thing..."

Murong Ji paused for a moment, looking at the crystal specks mixed in the ashes, thinking that this was not good.

Tushan Rongrong poked her head out of the furnace and said softly, "This thing is your reward for using Tushan's power of heaven and earth."

Murong Ji's mouth twitched. Didn't he say before that he was from Tushan? Then he immediately reacted, took a few steps forward, and started to grab the ash.

The ash from Jin Chenxi's furnace is also a good thing. After using the medicine, adding appropriate dosage will have endless uses.

I have taught her pharmacology and medical skills before. This hateful folded-ear fox can naturally tell the value of this thing.

"Damn it! Leave some for me, I need to study other things!"

Half an hour later.

The two of them sat cross-legged in front of the tea table in the refining room.

The tea set was swept aside, and placed in the middle of the table was a washbasin-sized plate with some golden crystals on it.

These things are the crystallizations of Jin Chenxi's furnace ash.

Because the flame temperature is too high, these debris are directly refined again. In terms of output, this thing is even more precious than the golden morning light.

After a closer look, he could indeed see a flickering, almost invisible rhythm in Murong Ji's pair of pale eyes. Murong Ji had seen this kind of rhythm before; it was the rhythm of Tao.

If this is the case, the value of this thing needs to be mentioned again.

Murong Ji chuckled: "Didn't you say that I am Tushan's own? Leave this thing to me to study, and I will definitely give Tushan a satisfactory result."

Tu Shan Rongrong would never be fooled. "You have too many things to do. Why don't I help you and cultivate our relationship at the same time?"

Murong Ji's tone stagnated, "The Third Master of Tushan is a very busy man, how can he have free time to do research?"

"Don't worry about it. In the current situation, without Tushan's participation, it will not work." Tushan Rongrong slowly opened her eyes, and her pair of green pupils stared at him leisurely.

Murong Ji's face gradually darkened. The three Tushan sisters were a little strange. They almost violated the growth rules of living things and determined the degree of growth with their demonic power and cognition.

Before she met him, Tu Shan Rongrong was just a little fool. How could she be as cunning as she is now?
"Well, okay, okay. I quit and won't argue with you anymore." Murong Ji's face was miserable. He pushed the plate forward and stood up tremblingly, as if he had suffered a major blow.

He staggered out of the cave.

"Back then, you were still such a small and stupid fox, and I raised you with all my heart and soul. But now... oh... people's hearts have changed."

Tu Shanrongrong: "..."

Suddenly, Tu Shan Rongrong's face darkened, and she wanted to beat this bastard to death. "You are the one who was raised by shit and piss!"

"Besides, we were supporting each other. When I was little, how old were you? If it weren't for my silver essence feeding you, you would have starved to death on the roadside."

Tushan Rongrong's body was filled with demonic energy, and her cultivation level of the eighth level of Yuqing shocked Murong Ji. Was her cultivation speed so fast? !

Turning around, he saw Tushan Rongrong, a green demonic aura surging around him. She pinched her slender waist and looked at him angrily.

At this time, Tu Shan Rongrong finally had some of the vitality that a girl should have.

Murong Ji frowned slightly but said nothing.

Tushan Rongrong suppressed her emotions and said, "Tushan will bear the research costs and share the research results with Tushan. How about that?"

Murong Ji thought about it and it was a good idea: "Deal."

The days that followed.

Murong Ji settled down in Tushan with peace of mind.

The main theme of each day is practice.

With the power of heaven and earth of Tushan to polish the foundation, and with the support of resources of Tushan.

Murong Ji's cultivation speed was very fast. The Shangqing realm was different from Yuqing, and the demand for spiritual energy had increased several times. Moreover, the method Murong Ji practiced was a combination of spiritual energy and evil energy. In more than a year, he had reached the peak of the Shangqing level. This speed of cultivation was normal for Murong Ji.

This method of practice is also most suitable for him.

If he had been given a piece of land since childhood, he would have already developed into a middle-class family in the Taoist Alliance by now.

Or, it could be the oligarchs who control a lot of resources behind the scenes.

Even in terms of cultivation, according to Murong Ji's estimation, breaking through to the fifth level of Shangqing is not a problem, and by then he will have a certain say in the Taoist Alliance.

"It's all because of that damn monkey! If it weren't for him! How could I have lived in the open air and not even have enough resources to practice?!"

"Now, I have nothing but passion, but I can't even build up connections and foundation for the Dao Alliance reform plan..."

Murong Ji exhaled, walked out of the Twin Peaks, stood on the top of the Twin Peaks, and looked at the situation of the entire Tushan.

He had a feeling that the damn monkey was going to cause him trouble again.

"What's wrong? You're full of hatred..."

Tu Shan Rongrong slowly walked to his side. Since Murong Ji moved to Twin Peaks, Tu Shan Rongrong also moved here.

"Nothing, there are just some things I can't figure out."

"Oh? Is there a breakthrough in the research?" Tu Shan Rongrong narrowed her eyes slightly.

"No, I just suddenly realized something." After he finished speaking, Murong Ji turned his head and looked at Tu Shan Rongrong, "Forgetting Promise Palm, is that something I taught you?"

Murong Ji's voice was light, but extremely certain.

In recent days, he has been studying the Forget Promise Palm, and the more he studies it, the more he feels that it contains more than just what he taught her.

"Huh?! You figured it out? The Forgetting Promise Palm. It's not just what you taught me, but also the secret palm technique from Tushan in my sister's hand."

"Sister Honghong's Insulation Claw and Exorcism Technique. Sister Yaya's Cold Air Technique were all obtained from secret teachings."

"As for me, the palm techniques I learned were not comprehensive until I met you, who taught me several palm techniques, including the Tianshan Zhemei Hand, a part of the Shuangquan Hand, and the Great Compassion Palm. I discovered that they had some similarities, and that's how the Forgetting Promise Palm came about."

Tushan Rongrong had a smile on her face. She gently gathered her hair and looked at the entire Tushan Mountain. She then looked across Tushan Mountain to the giant bitter love tree in the middle.

He let out a long breath, as if releasing pressure.

"Not long ago, I found something at the roots of the giant tree of suffering. At that time, I felt that what you said was right, so I was warned. However, why didn't you tell me directly?"

Murong Ji pursed his lips and said, "I'm not sure. I don't see the path of the bitter tree very clearly. If I say it directly, I will mislead the students."

After the words were spoken, the two were silent for a moment.

After a long time, Tu Shan Rongrong said, "Why don't you try with me? Give me a chance."

Murong Ji yawned and said, "It's getting late, go to bed early."

After walking a few steps forward, Murong Ji stopped and suddenly understood something.

Why do all the demon kings want to reincarnate and continue their relationship?

Moreover, they were willing to come to Tushan to continue their relationship. Because they wanted to comprehend the power of the 'heart', which was the thing that the demon race was least good at...

In just that instant, Murong Ji understood what that dead monkey was going to do. He wanted to improve the overall strength of humans and monsters.

Turning to look at the giant tree of suffering, its existence is very wonderful, rooted in the hearts of living beings, or in their consciousness, or to be more precise, in their love.

Murong Ji couldn’t understand these things now. He would try to get in touch with them when he reached the Taiqing realm.

The existence of the giant bitter tree made Murong Ji feel that it was somewhat like the existence of an "immortal".

What is Xian?!

"To understand the transformation of life and death, to understand the boundary between heaven and man, to establish the divine authority. To be immortal and indestructible, to exist without any existence."

Murong Ji chuckled after he finished speaking. After several worlds, this was the first time he had touched the edge of immortality.

Before entering the bedroom.

Murong Ji turned his head and looked at Tu Shan Rongrong, and said very seriously: "Your current cultivation is not high, you need to build a solid foundation first."

"If nothing else, you should be no worse than a human like me. You have a long lifespan, so you should work hard to improve your foundation. When you have no more room to improve, then you can try to get in touch with the power under the giant tree of suffering. Otherwise, it will do you more harm than good."

Tushan Rongrong bowed slightly to Murong Ji, which was considered as receiving Murong Ji's teachings.

After returning to the bedroom, Murong Ji curled up in bed, but he couldn't fall asleep.

He started doing it again, thinking quietly. Any person or monster, after reaching a certain level of cultivation, must move towards all-round development.

For example, Tushan Yaya who specializes in practicing cold energy.

The most advanced aspects of spiritual practice will be limited by the cold itself.
