Chapter 999: Sacrifice family members?

Looking up at the white jade steps in front of me, I saw countless white jade steps connecting to the sky. The number of steps was simply countless!

Just one look like this could make him despair!

"How long will this climb last? I'm not going to have to climb until the end of time, am I?!"

The child from the Shi family is already getting a little impatient.

Because he had climbed to this level, his body was under great pressure, and his soul was also in great discomfort.

Not only that, his eyes began to become blurry and many illusory images appeared.

He knew very well that this was an illusion!

"Humph! Has the illusion finally begun to invade? You're testing me with an illusion, and I'm not afraid at all!!!"

He took a step forward and continued walking forward.

As he went higher, the illusion became more and more invasive. When he reached the 100th step, he was completely immersed in the illusion.

In the illusion he encountered, the role he played was that of a child about his current age.

But the difference is that he was born quite ordinary, had mediocre talents, and had a childhood sweetheart by his side.

In the illusion, he and his childhood sweetheart embarked on the path of cultivation and cultivated to the foundation-building stage.

However, the lifespan of cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage is limited. After several hundred years, the two of them began to conceive and had a son and a daughter.

As their son and daughter grow up, they, as parents, also begin to grow old and are about to reach the end of their lives.

One day when his life was about to end, he was extremely old, with an aura of death all over his body. He looked up at the sky, knowing that he would never be able to enter the Golden Elixir realm in this lifetime.

In the last moments of his life, he just wanted to see his childhood sweetheart, his wife, who he grew up with and grew old with, and his two children by his side.

It's all so heartwarming.

But when he was really about to die, an old Taoist priest fell from the sky and appeared beside him at some point.

The old Taoist priest looked at him with a smile and asked him, "Although your talent is average, your heart for the Tao is very strong. If I give you a chance to advance to the Golden Core stage, would you be willing?"

The old man, who had already accepted his fate, was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then he trembled with excitement.

He could see that the old Taoist priest who suddenly appeared had unfathomable strength, which he could not see through at all.

In other words, the old Taoist priest's strength is definitely superior to his!

If that's the case, this old Taoist priest might really have a way to help him break through to the Golden Core realm.

As long as he reaches the Golden Elixir realm, he will be able to help his wife break through to the Golden Elixir realm as well. The lifespan of the immortal couple will be extended, and they will continue to live a warm life.

He asked excitedly, "Of course I am willing! I wonder if Senior could grant me this opportunity?"

The old Taoist priest looked at him with a smile, stroked his beard with his hand, and then said with a bit of satisfaction: "It's actually very simple. It depends on whether you are willing to pay the price."

The old man nodded excitedly without even thinking: "Yes! Of course I am willing! As long as I can enter the Golden Core Realm, I am willing to do anything!!!"

After receiving this answer, the old Taoist priest finally laughed out loud with satisfaction.

"Okay, okay! I feel relieved with your words! Old Taoist, I asked you to do this, it's actually very simple. I'm refining a medicinal pill, and I'm just missing one medicinal ingredient."

"As long as I can refine this elixir, not only will my own strength be enhanced, but I can also give you one of the elixir to help you enter the Golden Core Realm!!!"

Hearing what the old Taoist said, the old man became even more excited, "Senior, is there anything I can help you with???"

Although he felt that he was weak and old, he probably couldn't help his seniors.

But since the senior has come to me specifically, does that mean there might be some aspect of me that can help him?

Just when he was full of anticipation, the old Taoist priest chuckled, revealing a mouthful of dirty yellow teeth, and his tone became even colder: "It's simple, I want the blood of your family of three as a medicine!!!"

Hearing this, the old man, who had been so excited just now, suddenly felt cold from head to toe.

Without a second thought, he refused: "You mean to kill my family? Absolutely not!!!"

"My family's lives are more important than mine! I won't trade their lives for a pill!!!"

The old man's face turned pale and he refused righteously, and he was ready to take revenge if the old Taoist priest attacked his family.

The old Taoist priest was not surprised at his intense reaction. Instead, he laughed even more evilly and cruelly.

He lowered his voice, his words filled with temptation: "You are right, your family of three will indeed die, but the value you gain in return is immeasurable!!!"

"You have to think clearly. As long as I extract their blood and use it to refine the pill, you can also get a pill, which will ensure that you can break through to the Golden Core Stage!!!"

"Once you break through to the Golden Core Stage, you'll discover that this world is far more vast than you imagined!"

"And I will also help you make friends with other more powerful Taoist friends. You will get to know countless powerful people and have countless connections!!!"

"That's just secondary. After your strength increases, there will be countless young and beautiful female cultivators who will come to you on their own initiative!!!"

"I'm telling you, by that time, you'll have more than enough fun playing with those young and beautiful female cultivators!!!"

"Aren't we cultivators supposed to live a carefree life? Why should we be restricted by these rules and regulations?!"

"If you can't live a carefree life, if you can't conquer the world, what's the point of living???"

The words of this old Taoist priest were full of magic. They sounded like nothing, but the more you listened, the more you were drawn into them, as if you were stuck in a quagmire and couldn't get out.

As he spoke, the old man had already begun to imagine the wonderful life he would be able to enjoy after becoming a Jindan stage cultivator.

Surrounded by countless young female cultivators, countless equally powerful fellow Taoists sat and discussed Dao...

Isn’t this kind of life what I dreamed of when I first started practicing?

Gradually, his eyes began to become bloodshot, like a wild beast that was about to lose control of its inner desires and gradually went crazy!

And when he was completely immersed in this illusion, people outside could see everything he was experiencing at that moment.

The elder of the Shi family was extremely nervous when he saw his own child going through the test of the illusion!
