Chapter 407: Eight Extraordinary Techniques

Perhaps this planet indeed hadn't had a person like Li Ang for many years, but saying that no one had ever become an immortal since ancient times was definitely unrealistic.

This was the conclusion Li Ang reached after finishing reading the techniques sent by other Profound Gates.

Unlike the Three-One Gate, whether it was the Heavenly Master Mansion, Wudang, or Shangqing, the methods of these orthodox Profound Gates all had something to do with immortals to some extent.

Even if the difficulty of wanting to become an immortal by relying on these methods was the same as the optimized Triple Reversal, this still showed that an existence similar to Li Ang had once appeared on this planet.

But the key problem was that Li Ang didn't feel like ascending at all.

'Could it be because I became an immortal through the career panel?'

Looking at the techniques of various sects spread out in front of him, a trace of doubt couldn't help but flash in Li Ang's eyes.

If there was any difference between him and the immortals recorded in the classics, it should only be the career panel.

'Or is it...'

Ascension never existed from the beginning.

Recalling the Qi mechanism he felt when he performed 【Principle of Celestial Changes】 not long ago, Li Ang frowned slightly.

The world of "The Outcast" was not as simple as imagined; if he wanted to complete the task of the main universe, he still had to figure out some strange aspects.

But in any case, being able to not ascend was ultimately a good thing.

Although on the path of a Qi Refiner, it shouldn't happen that a lower-world genius becomes a hundred thousand heavenly soldiers after ascending as in some novels, but who would want to play a high-end game if they could fry a fish pond.

Thinking of this, Li Ang flicked his fingers, and the techniques in front of him closed without wind.

Perhaps out of respect, the techniques sent by various sects were basically ancient books, and there was no mention of returning them.

But Li Ang was still prepared to return them to their original owners after reading them; it wasn't that he couldn't keep them, but for him, these ancient books were already useless.

After half a month of study, he had basically tinkered with the Eight Extraordinary Techniques in the original plot.

There was the credit of these ancient books, and also the reason why Li Ang roughly knew the abilities of the Eight Extraordinary Techniques.

With his current vision, wanting to deduce them from this was naturally extremely easy.

【Reaching Heaven (Specialty): Compared to ordinary people, you will be more relaxed when communicating with heaven and earth】.

【Divine Machine Hundred Refinements (Skill): The ultimate of mechanism art, artifact refining, object control, and materialization; capable of manufacturing equipment with complex craftsmanship and stronger agility】.

【Saint's Theft (Skill): Can instantly decompose ingested substances to replenish one's own energy; when ingesting certain special substances, it can also greatly improve the user's attributes】.

【Spirit-Restraining General (Skill): Can ignore the spirit's will and forcibly control the other party for one's own use】.

【Dual-Complete Hand (Skill): Bringing the dead back to life, reading memories and modifying cognition; body and soul cannot escape the control of these hands at all】.

These were the skills and specialties generated under the influence of the 【Immortal】 profession after Li Ang learned certain Eight Extraordinary Techniques.

Some of the names had changed, and some hadn't.

But regardless of whether they changed, they were all closely related to their essence.

Of course, not all cultivation of the Eight Extraordinary Techniques went smoothly, such as 【Qi Body Source Flow】 and 【Great Luo Cave Observation】.

The effect of the former should be about the same as Wu Gensheng's 【Divine Spirit】, perhaps a bit stronger, but it should still be unable to escape the scope of 【Qi Mechanism Combing】, so Li Ang didn't spend too much thought on it.

And the latter...

To be honest, although Li Ang roughly understood the effect of 【Great Luo Cave Observation】, it was still a bit too abstract.

High-dimensional vision, transcendence...

There were many concepts that could roughly describe the ability of 【Great Luo Cave Observation】, and Li Ang even had a movie in his mind where the protagonist's ability was similar to 【Great Luo Cave Observation】.

"Lucy", the protagonist finally became a high-dimensional life form with the help of a mysterious little pill, and the abilities displayed were extremely similar to 【Great Luo Cave Observation】.

But even so, Li Ang still had no clue about how to learn this ability.

More importantly, even with Li Ang's current strength, 【Great Luo Cave Observation】 was still an extremely important ability.

If he could learn this ability, when he returned to the main universe, or went on some strange journeys, he could greatly improve his safety.

Thinking of this, Li Ang's eyes flickered.

'It seems I still have to have a chat with Gu Jiting.'

Because Wu Gensheng's sworn brotherhood plan was interrupted by him, the creator of 【Great Luo Cave Observation】 was living well right now.

It was just that at this time, the other party probably hadn't been able to comprehend 【Great Luo Cave Observation】.

But this didn't matter to Li Ang; at most, he would take this person to the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Valley again, and whether he could succeed was another matter.

After dealing with the Eight Extraordinary Techniques, Li Ang began to think about the new task released by the main universe.

'Analyze the world origin...'

A bit abstract; Li Ang, who was doing this kind of work for the first time, didn't know how to start for a while. To be honest, he even felt that this task was making things difficult for a small fifth-level energy professional like him.

Fortunately, with the help of the characteristics that came with 【Immortal】 and the 【Reaching Heaven】 transformed from the Heavenly Master's Talisman, he still had some clues.

That's right, 【Reaching Heaven】 was transformed from the Heavenly Master's Talisman; after all, the essence of Daoist talismans was to communicate with heaven and earth.

Of course, some were also calling for people, which was why famous sects were more likely to succeed when setting up altars and drawing talismans.

They had people above them.

But the Heavenly Master's Talisman could bypass this restriction and communicate directly with God.

Reaching Heaven, Reaching Heaven; the name had already revealed its essence, and drawing talismans with bare hands was just an external manifestation.

Coupled with the characteristics that came with the 【Immortal】 transfer, Li Ang felt as if he was born to do this world development work.

However, world development was obviously not something that could be completed in a short time, so he wasn't in a hurry.

Thinking so, Li Ang put away the ancient books in front of him, and then left the quiet room.

After being in seclusion for so long, it was time to deal with the things left behind.

As the door of the quiet room slowly opened, the Three-One Gate disciples standing outside were startled, then bowed respectfully: "Senior Brother Li, is there anything you need me to do?"

Because Zuo Ruotong was still alive, Li Ang was still considered a disciple generation in the Three-One Gate.

He didn't care about this; what's more, although they were called disciple generation, when the disciples of the same generation saw him, they basically performed the master's etiquette.

"No need." Li Ang waved his hand slightly, "From today on, no one needs to wait here."

Hearing this, the disciple was startled first, and then a trace of joy flashed in his eyes: "I know, Senior Brother Li."

For the Three-One Gate, the immortal of their own sect coming out of seclusion was undoubtedly good news; after all, there were many things that needed him to make decisions.

After simply instructing the disciple, Li Ang looked at the location of the main hall in the sect.

'Western alchemists...'

With his current strength, he naturally knew who Zuo Ruotong was receiving right now.

And for the arrival of these alchemists, Li Ang was not surprised.

After all, 【Principle of Celestial Changes】 had caused such a big commotion earlier; it would be strange if these alchemists didn't react.

Thinking of this, Li Ang flashed and disappeared from the spot.

When he appeared again, he was already in the Three-One Gate main hall.

Looking at the figure who suddenly appeared in the hall, the several white people who were chatting happily with Zuo Ruotong were startled, but immediately realized the identity of the person who came.

At this time, they looked at the young man with an extraordinary temperament, and after subconsciously looking at each other, the leader spoke: "You must be Immortal Li, right? Your bearing is indeed extraordinary."

These alchemists were very respectful, and their Chinese was extremely fluent; obviously, they had done their homework before coming to the door.

It would be better to say that after the deterrence brought by 【Principle of Celestial Changes】 earlier, there should be no normal person who would rashly provoke such a powerful existence.

"I already know your intentions."

Facing the flattery of this group of alchemists, Li Ang's expression remained unchanged, and he just flipped his right hand to take out a bottle of light green reagent.

"It just so happens that I also know a little about alchemy; take this thing and go back to the West to spread my name."

Saying that, Li Ang threw the thing in his hand to the alchemists who were staring fixedly at his right hand.

Seeing the light green reagent draw a beautiful arc in mid-air, the group of alchemists from the West panicked, and then scrambled to catch it, for fear of dropping it on the ground.

At this moment, the leading alchemist looked at the reagent in his hand and couldn't help but swallow hard: "This is..."

Seeing that the other party didn't seem to know that he knew alchemy, Li Ang looked at Zuo Ruotong with some surprise; he didn't expect that his master hadn't told anyone about this.

Noticing his disciple's gaze, Zuo Ruotong shook his head slightly, indicating that he hadn't revealed any information.

Having lived for so many years, he still had this bit of precaution.

Seeing this, Li Ang turned his head to look at the confused alchemists, and a chuckle came from his mouth: "It's just the most basic life-extending reagent."

After speaking, an alchemy array unfolded under his feet, refining several fruits into liquid out of thin air.

Saying it was life-extending, it was actually more appropriate to call it restoring vitality; the one he gave his master to drink before was also this one, and the formula was plucked from Karina, a consultant of the Plant Union.

It was just that Li Ang didn't have much interest in the elixir of immortality; after all, with his race and profession, lifespan obviously wouldn't become a trouble.

Therefore, he only roughly flipped through Karina's results and didn't study them in depth.

Of course, this in-depth was for 【King of Bronze and Fire】; facing these first-level energy alchemists in the outcast world...

Li Ang could make them kneel down and call him dad by just rubbing something together.

At this moment, the group of alchemists looked at the scene in front of them, and their expressions became dull; they never expected that this Eastern immortal would also have attainments in alchemy.

And it looked like the level was extremely terrifying.

At the very least, none of the alchemists present could tell what school the young man was using.

After a brief silence, a thought couldn't help but flash through the minds of the alchemists.

'Could it be that whether it's Qi refining or alchemy, they all lead to the same destination in the end?'

'No, no, no, how is that possible.'

Although the origins of the Profound Gate and alchemy could be counted as philosophy, and the two had many similarities, in any case, this conjecture was too outrageous.

Since that was the case, it could only mean that the immortal in front of them was gifted.

Even without Qi refining, he would probably have achieved great success through alchemy.

Thinking of this, the group of alchemists couldn't help but feel a bit of envy and jealousy.

Why wasn't such a genius born on their side!?

Fortunately, the alchemists who could come to the Three-One Gate to inquire about news were all leaders in their respective fields, so they finally controlled their emotions.

After confirming that the person in front of them was not joking, the leading alchemist asked cautiously: "Spread your name?"
