Journey To Longevity

The land of Nanzhou is vast, and the mountains are rolling. The closer to Beizhou, the more dangerous the mountains are, and the southerly the sea is, the terrain becomes flatter.

The Baimang Mountains, starting from the western desert and ending in the central part of Nanzhou, span tens of thousands of miles, with high mountains and deep forests, shrouded in clouds and mists, poisonous insects and beasts infested, and extremely precious exotic flowers and plants grow in places with abundant aura, attracting people from all walks of life. Many cultivators.

The first immortal cultivators reported to the group here to keep warm, which was the prototype of the sect. There are also immortal cultivators who have taken root here, forming one after another immortal cultivating families. Of course, there are monks coming from all directions, the number of casual cultivators is the largest, and the cultivation conditions are the most difficult.

In Baimang Mountain, there is a spiritual mountain with a height of more than 2,000 feet. It is called Baiyuan Mountain. It was occupied by Zhang Shilong, a casual cultivator of foundation building, four hundred years ago. Family. During these four hundred years, with the increase of the Zhang family, the seven spiritual mountains near Baiyuan Mountain were also occupied by the Zhang family.

These seven spiritual mountains are all first-order spiritual mountains, and the Qi training monks of the Zhang family are practicing on them, while the two foundation-building monks of the Zhang family are practicing on the second-level spiritual mountain of Baiyuan Mountain.

A blessed land of spiritual mountains with abundant aura is essential for cultivators. Immortal cultivators can control their dantian acupoints after they reach the stage of Qi training, and their magic power will not be diffused in places where mundane aura is scarce. Progress must be extremely slow.

Of course, there are also monks who use spirit stones as the foundation and set up spirit gathering arrays for cultivation, but there are a few monks in the ordinary qi training period who are willing to use the few spirit stones in their hands for daily practice.

Every piece of spirit stone contains pure spirit energy. When the monks in the Qi training period are fighting, if they reach the stage of mana stalemate, the competition is about wealth. Whoever has more medicine pills and who has more spirit stones will have a better chance. survive.

Zhang Shiping knew this very well. There were many monks in this Baimang Mountain. When they were away from home, others would not show mercy just because they were members of the Zhang family.

In order to eliminate future troubles, ordinary monks are more decisive in attacking sect monks or family monks. There are various methods of destroying corpses and traces, planting blame and framing.

Zhang Shiping is the younger generation of the Zhang family, a monk with the three spiritual roots of earth, fire and wood, and his aptitude is moderately low, but fortunately he has a three-yang spirit body, and he is more compatible with fire-attribute exercises.

The three-yang spirit body is an ordinary physique among many fire-attribute spirit bodies. If Chen Shiping is a six-yang spirit body, after he builds his foundation, he will condense the Qingyang fire, which will be of great help in refining tools and alchemy. And the chances of the three yang spirits being able to condense the Qingyang fire are really very small.

However, there is a chance after all, so the patriarch of the Zhang Family Zhuji specially designated a cave with excellent aura for Zhang Shiping to practice in Xiaoyuan Mountain, one of the seven first-order spiritual mountains.

It took a long time, from the age of eight to sixteen, Zhang Shiping practiced for eight years, and he has already cultivated to the fourth level of "Qing Xuan Yu Huo Jue", and his cultivation has reached the level of the fourth level of Qi training, although it is far inferior to those sects Men Tianjiao, but he is already a leader among the younger generation of the Zhang family.

…

At the foot of Little Ape Mountain, a middle-aged man in black clothes climbed up the bluestone steps in the mountain. The middle-aged man's face was somewhat similar to Zhang Shiping.

This is Zhang Shiping's father, Zhang Tong'an, who practiced at the ninth level of qi training, and was one step short of reaching the completion of the qi training period. He is only forty-nine years old now, and has the possibility of advancing to the foundation building stage. He is one of the six monks at the ninth level of qi training in the Zhang family.

Zhang Tongan's footwork is fast, and he came to Zhang Shiping's cave mansion on the mountainside in a blink of an eye just at the foot of the mountain. Zhang Shiping's cave mansion is next to the cliff waterfall in the mountain. Formation, in case others accidentally break in when you are practicing, but the most important thing is to isolate the sound.

Zhang Shian patted the gray storage bag on his waist, and a sound transmission talisman written with yellow paper and cinnabar hung in the air in front of him. His lips moved slightly, and the sound transmission talisman turned into a ball of red light and merged into the array. In the French cyan mask, there were layers of ripples.

Zhang Shiping, who was meditating in the quiet room of the cave, opened his eyes, and his eyes were bright. He didn't get up directly, and the kung fu had only been running for more than half a week. At this time, half a week's effort of getting up and doing exercises will be wasted.

After half a cup of tea time, Zhang Shiping got up and got up, strode out of the quiet room, recited the formula, waved his right sleeve, the blue mask of the stone gate of the cave twisted and dissipated, and the stone gate opened with a bang.

Zhang Shiping walked out of the stone gate, bowed and said: "Shiping pays homage to his father, please forgive me for keeping him waiting for a long time."

"It doesn't matter." Zhang Tong'an said, he stepped into the cave, Zhang Shiping followed behind, and then closed the stone gate, the formation of the cave revived, and the blue light enveloped it again.

Zhang Tong'an was very familiar with the layout of Zhang Shiping's cave, so he sat directly at the top. Zhang Shiping was about to make tea when his father called him over, "Shiping, come and sit, don't bother."

"Yes."

Zhang Tongan said: "My heart is surging for my father, and I will retreat in three days. This time, I will either achieve foundation establishment or die." The only ones who are worried here are you and your second brother, your second brother's pseudo-spiritual root aptitude is basically hopeless in his life, and being a steward in the family is a good choice to spend his life in peace."

Zhang Tongan paused, looked at his worried son with a smile and said, "Shiping, your aptitude is mediocre. If you practice in the family, you will have to work hard for another 20 to 30 years if you want to cultivate to the ninth level of Qi training. Don't think about it anymore, you can only close yourself like a father to fight for the slightest chance. In half a month, Jiaozuo Zong will open the mountain gate to accept disciples. Do you want to go? There is a good friend of mine who can take care of you for a few days Minute."

Zhang Shiping lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head and said: "I am willing." The one who cultivates immortality is himself, and he is fighting for his life. Zhang Shiping has a ruler in his heart. If his father doesn't mention it today, he will wait for him to practice Qi in a year or two. On the fifth floor, he also wants to go out for a tour, and now it is ahead of schedule.

When Zhang Tongan heard that his child agreed, he took out a letter and a sound transmission talisman to Zhang Shiping. His friend in Jiaozuozong is called Chen Wenguang

As long as a monk is not a pseudo-spiritual root like the four spiritual roots and five spiritual roots, it is normal for a monk to use water to hone his kung fu during the Qi training period. In the late stage of Qi training, that is, after the seventh floor, it takes a lot of effort to break through each floor.

People with insufficient talents either rely on formations or take elixir, striving to store more mana in the dantian, so that the gaseous mana can condense into liquid in the dantian, reaching the state of foundation building.

After the establishment of the foundation is the early stage of foundation establishment, after refining the evil spirit is the middle stage of foundation establishment, and after the completion of the foundation is the later stage of foundation establishment, one step at a time, there is no sloppy at all.

There are as many monks in the qi training period in the world as there are stars, but among dozens or hundreds of people, not one can succeed in building a foundation. This situation is more common among casual cultivators or small cultivators, and the reason is the lack of Foundation Establishment Pills.

A monk who has completed Qi training can only succeed in building the foundation without the help of the foundation building pill. Otherwise, the dantian will decay and lose all mana, and the most serious will be death on the spot.

The Foundation Establishment Pill can increase the chance of foundation establishment, and more importantly, it can protect the qi training cultivators who have broken through the realm. Even if they fail, it is only a serious injury. After three to five years of cultivation, there is still a chance to rebuild the foundation.

Most of the medicinal materials needed for Jidan are hundreds of years old. Most of these medicinal materials grow in secret realms now, and the entrances of these discovered secret realms have long been scrambled by various sects. build!

Zhang Tongan is worried about his own son. The Zhang family is too small. Now there are only two foundation-building monks, the patriarch and the great elder. Both of them succeeded by luck without the foundation-building pill. His retreat this time is not too big. Be sure, but if you don't fight while you are strong, your chances will be even slimmer when you are old.

His generation is almost like this, he doesn't want his son to go his own way, the future is uncertain, Zhang Shiping can only get the foundation building pill if he joins the sect.
