I looked at the doctor coldly, "What? Do you want to ascend to immortality with Luan Jingfan?"

If that were the case, it would be troublesome!

In that case, I would be fighting the entire Ningkang Temple all over again.

After all, the allure of becoming an immortal is just too great for people.

Isn't the ultimate goal of sect cultivators to attain enlightenment and become immortals after a lifetime of pursuit?

The doctor shook his head slightly and said, "I don't have such thoughts. Since the Song Dynasty, no one has become an immortal. Who knows what will happen if I ascend with her?"

"Even if I could really ascend, I have no intention of becoming an immortal! As for why, I don't want to say. If you don't believe me, I can swear."

I stared at him without saying a word. The doctor re-established his oath to the Heavenly Dao. Without me asking, Cangjian did the same.

I looked at Ye Yang and said, "It is said that since the Song Dynasty, no one has become an immortal. Can Luan Jingfan really become an immortal?"

Since the Song Dynasty, there have been no more legends of people becoming immortals. The last immortal recorded in Chu Daoren's *Biographies of Immortals* during the Guangxu era was Li Daochun (Ying Chanzi) from the late Ming and early Yuan dynasties.

After that, there were no more records of attaining enlightenment and becoming an immortal.

Ye Yang said, "You're talking about the Pure Yang True Immortal. Luan Jingfan is cultivating to become a ghost immortal (gui xian), so she can still succeed."

According to the teachings of Han Zhongli, "Those who cultivate to become ghost immortals do not understand the Great Dao from the beginning and desire to achieve quick success. Their bodies are like withered wood, their hearts are like dead ashes, their divine consciousness is inwardly guarded, and their will is unwavering."

Ye Yang continued, "The last condition for Luan Jingfan to become a ghost immortal is for someone to help her undergo *bingjie* (disassembly of the body via a weapon). That person must be the guide on her path to immortality."

"What she said about waiting for that destined person is about waiting for the Five Elements Corpse Body, and also waiting for the person who will guide her."

"Her guide will also be taken away by her to ascend and become a ghost immortal."

"Because the guide is the one who has done her a great favor, she must repay that person."

As Ye Yang spoke, he looked at me and said, "That guide is you."

"Me?" I asked inexplicably, "Why me?"

Ye Yang replied, "Becoming an immortal, there is a saying called 'serendipitous immortal fate'."

"That is to say, under certain coincidental circumstances, people who originally have no immortal roots can also become immortals, such as accidentally entering the cultivation grounds of an immortal, or by chance eating an immortal fruit."

"Your appearance can be said to be a serendipitous immortal fate."

"You were not originally Luan Jingfan's guide, but you had the idea of ​​sealing your cultivation to meet Luan Jingfan. This is a coincidence."

"Many things are often achieved in an instant through serendipitous immortal fate."

"Now that you've had that thought, you can only go forward."

I said in a deep voice, "If she becomes a ghost immortal, can we join forces to kill her?"

"No!" Ye Yang said bluntly, "The strength of a ghost immortal is stronger than the ghosts and gods of the two realms. Even if you bring four more Di Sha Realm experts, you won't be able to defeat her!"

I looked at the main hall and said to myself, "We're already here. I'm not willing to retreat just like that!"

Ye Yang said, "Luan Jingfan won't let us retreat. Besides..."

Ye Yang looked at the doctor, "If we leave, he's finished!"

The doctor didn't speak, but his eyes showed despair.

The doctor didn't believe that we would stay and save them. A chance encounter doesn't necessarily mean a life-and-death friendship.

He knew that every warlock had means to protect their lives. The fact that we didn't use them when we fought him doesn't mean we won't hold back when we escape.

With our strength, paying a certain price, we have at least a thirty to forty percent chance of breaking out of Ningkang Temple.

The doctor didn't speak, and neither did Cangjian.

They had the same thoughts.

I laughed, "Since it's not easy to leave, then we won't leave."

"We can't just leave the person who just helped us in the lurch."

I raised my hand and said, "You two have been swearing all this time. Now I'll try it too. If you don't betray me, I will never betray you!"

The doctor looked at me for a long time before stammering, "You... you..."

I laughed, "Are you wondering if I'm crazy?"

"I can tell you, I am!"

I looked at Ye Yang again, "Cold Dog, since you know how to cultivate to become a ghost immortal, you should also know how to break her secret method, right?"

That fellow Ye Yang looks serious on the surface, but his heart is actually black!

Blacker than Old Liu!

He can tell the secret of Luan Jingfan's cultivation to become a ghost immortal, so he must know the way to break it.

Besides, he definitely doesn't care about the lives of the doctor and Cangjian.

Ye Yang deliberately said such a sentence, there must be a place where he needs them.

Ye Yang is tricking them into swearing to help us risk their lives!

In fact, from another perspective, you can't blame Ye Yang for being scheming. If it were me, I wouldn't dare to easily hand over the lives of all four of us to two strangers.

Moreover, they are both direct descendants of the Luan family. What if they also hope that Luan Jingfan will become an immortal?

I have never understood what the doctor's reason for refusing to become an immortal is.

Although the ghost immortal is not considered a true immortal, it is still very attractive to cultivators.

Are they really willing to give it up just like that?
