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 Nanzhou, stretch across the two places for tens of thousands of miles, with high mountains and deep forests, shrouded in clouds and mist, haunted by poisonous insects and beasts, and extremely precious exotic flowers and plants grow in places with abundant aura. Grass, attracting many immortal cultivators.

The original cultivators gathered 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 about 2,000 feet high, named Baiyuan Mountain, which 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-refining 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 with abundant aura is essential for immortal cultivators. Immortal cultivators can control their own dantian acupoints after reaching the Qi refining stage. In places where mundane aura is scarce, their mana will not be dissipated. Progress must be extremely slow.

Of course, there are monks who use spirit stones as the foundation and set up spirit gathering arrays for cultivation, but there are a few ordinary monks in the qi refining 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 refining 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.

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

The three-yang spirit body is a general physique among the many fire-attributed spirit bodies. If it 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 equipment and alchemy.

The chances of the three yang spirits being able to condense the Qingyang fire are really very small. But after all, there is a chance, so the patriarch of the Zhang family Zhuji specially designated a cave with high spiritual energy for him 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 had already cultivated to the fourth level of Qingxuan Yuhuo Jue, and his cultivation reached the level of the fourth level of Qi Refining.

At this age, the cultivation of the fourth level of Qi Refining is naturally far inferior to those of the sect's arrogance, but it is already the best among the younger generation of the Zhang family.

...

...

At the foot of the little ape mountain.

A middle-aged man in black clothes climbed up the bluestone steps in the mountain. This man's face was somewhat similar to Zhang Shiping's.

This is Zhang Shiping's father, Zhang Tong'an, who is already at the ninth level of Qi Refining, one step away from reaching the completion of the Qi Refining Stage, and he is only forty-nine years old now, and has the possibility of advancing to the Foundation Establishment Stage. One of the monks.

Zhang Tong'an tapped lightly, and after a few zhangs, he came to the front of Zhang Shiping's cave on the mountainside in a blink of an eye just at the foot of the mountain.

This cave is next to the cliff waterfall in the mountain. The waterfall on the top of the mountain roars down from a high place, making a noisy sound. Therefore, Zhang Shiping uses formations every year to isolate the noise so as not to be distracted during his practice.

Zhang Tongan 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 came out of the stone gate, bowed and said: Shiping pays homage to father.

Get up. Zhang Tong'an said, he stepped into the cave, Zhang Shiping followed behind, and then closed the stone gate, the formation of the cave was revived, and the blue light shrouded it again.

Zhang Tongan was very familiar with the layout of Zhang Shiping's cave, so he sat in the first place. Zhang Shiping was about to make tea when his father called him over, Come and sit, don't bother.

yes.

Zhang Tong'an 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 and pass away. Zhang Tong'an's tone was neither urgent nor slow, as if he was not the one who closed the life and death gate.

It's just that you and your second brother are the only ones I'm worried about. Your second brother's pseudo-spiritual root qualifications are basically hopeless in his life, and it's a good choice to be a steward in the family and spend his life in peace. .” Zhang Tongan paused when he said this.

He 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 or 30 years if you want to reach the ninth level of Qi Refining, let alone Zhujidan. , I can only shut myself up like a father to fight for the slightest chance. In half a month, Zhengyangzong 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 a little bit at ordinary times.

His good friend in Zhengyang Sect is called Chen Wenguang, a sect cultivator who has just established the foundation.

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 what he fights for is his life. He has a rule in his heart. If his father doesn't mention it today, he will also want to travel when he reaches the fifth level of Qi refining in a year or two. Now it is considered ahead of time.

Hearing that his child agreed, Zhang Tongan smiled a little more, and took out a letter and a sound transmission talisman to Zhang Shiping.

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 cultivate to the sixth or seventh level of Qi refining in fifty or sixty years by relying on water during the Qi refining stage. , 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 Refining Stage in this 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 cultivator who has completed Qi refining 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 refining monks who have broken through. Even if they fail, it is only a serious injury. After three to five years of recuperation, 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 are grown in secret realms now, and the entrances to these discovered secret realms have long been snatched up 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.

Thank you book friend for reminding me of typos in My Sailing Dream.

Thanks for the suggestion, Serious Knight.
