Two years after establishing the foundation of Jiang Ming's martial arts, Yue Changmu finally successfully broke through to the late stage of Qi training and became the number one casual cultivator on Xiao Qing Peak. Even in Xiao Qianshan, he can be regarded as an upper-level figure in the pyramid.
However, this old man is quite interesting. He still treats Jiang Ming as an equal and refines the rain talisman every day as usual, but the efficiency has increased by several percent and the profit has increased a lot.
And Jiang Ming is also happy like this. With a late-stage Qi practitioner covering him, some of the people who used to covet this business have also disappeared, allowing him to earn spiritual stones and practice with peace of mind...
The green jade lotus he planted ten years ago finally completed its first journey of life and withered and died, leaving only about twenty lotus seeds. The color was much deeper than the original lotus seed, just like real blue jade.
.
After Bai Tuanzi scratched his head and prayed fiercely, Jiang Ming rewarded him with three jelly beans to eat, and continued to plant the rest into the pond to wait for the second evolution...
…
Flowers bloom and fall, time flies.
The time of cultivating immortality is like a fleeting moment, and another twenty years have passed by in a hurry.
It has been more than fifty years since Jiang Mingchu went to Xiaoqian Mountain.
"This little Qianshan seems to be in chaos again..."
Jiang Ming was casually strolling around Yuangufang City. He bought a large piece of monster meat at a meat stall that was opened during a foundation construction overhaul, and carried it home with a trace of solemnity between his brows.
Having been around here for decades, Jiang Ming has a good idea of the prices in Xiaoqianshan. Although there are occasional fluctuations, they are all within the acceptable range.
The only time it went beyond the normal range was when the ancestor of Xiao Qianshan was injured and Fire Lotus Valley and Qingyin Pavilion attacked...
But now, prices in Xiaoqianshan seem to have started to rise again quietly.
In the past, so much ordinary monster meat only cost two spirit stones, but now it costs three...
Foundation-building level monster meat is rare, so the price fluctuates greatly. However, this kind of Qi-level monster meat has a stable long-term supply and generally does not fluctuate so much...
In addition, the prices of elixirs, talismans and the like are also increasing secretly. Even Jiang Minglian's Qi Restoration Pills are becoming in demand again.
"This is not a good sign!"
Jiang Ming had an ominous premonition in his heart. After the last chaos, news came out that the storm was only suspended, not completely ended... Could a bigger storm have been brewing?
"Calculating the time, a period will pass, and the Black Stone Ruins seem to be about to be opened. Is this related to this?"
The original turmoil was caused by the Black Stone Ruins, and later the Yunxi Sect and other Cave Heaven Paradises extended their tentacles to the Lihuo Territory, with the purpose of also targeting the Black Stone Ruins...
"If there really is a war this time, I'm afraid it won't be like last time.
Jiang Ming thought to himself, whether it is Xiao Qianshan or Fire Lotus Valley, there is already a more terrifying behemoth standing behind it. When those beings take action, Xiao Qianshan may not be able to withstand the torment...
If the last chaos was a test, then this time it was a real drastic change. Even if Xiao Qianshan was completely gone from now on, it would not be a surprise.
So what if it has been passed down for thousands of years? The Liang family in the mortal world was also known as a family of masters that would never fall. In the end, they were all killed...
Jiang Ming thought for a moment and already had the intention to retreat.
"Twelve years ago, I had broken through to the ninth level of Qi training. Although the progress of the last level of this Qi training period was slow, I have finally gradually approached the state of perfection in these years. Now the biggest level is foundation building, and even more
A lot depends on my own transformation, whether the external aura is strong or not, actually it doesn’t matter much anymore..."
Although the spiritual energy in the cave is very rich, Jiang Ming's progress has been getting slower and slower over the years. He has encountered the biggest bottleneck in his cultivation of immortality so far. He only guards the rich spiritual energy but cannot effectively transform it.
Jiang Ming's biggest purpose in coming to Xiaoqianshan was for the rich spiritual energy here, but now it is of no use to him...
The way forward is to find a foundation-building method, and then practice it slowly with water grinding time to break through the bottleneck, or be lucky enough to obtain heavenly materials and earthly treasures that can enhance cultivation or a spiritual elixir that assists foundation-building.
It is of some use to Jiang Ming today.
However, although Jiang Ming's family is not bad, he has spent a lot of money on cultivation over the years, and the price of elixirs or treasures that can assist in foundation building is more than thousands of spirit stones, which Jiang Ming cannot afford at all.
of……
And treasures of that level are much rarer than mid-level magic weapons. In a place of casual cultivation like Xiaoqianshan, they can be said to be encountered but not sought. Basically, they will not be sold publicly. Jiang Ming has been selling them for so many years.
Never seen it either.
All in all, it doesn't make much sense to stay in Xiao Qianshan today...
Moreover, his identity as the master of Danjiang and his apparent age are over a hundred years old. For a minor cultivator at the fifth level of Qi training, he is basically half buried in the earth. If he stays any longer, he will be easily exposed.
…
"After doing some research, sell the things that need to be sold, and buy the things you need, it's time to leave."
That night, Jiang Ming invited Feng He to meet again and asked him about the situation in Xiaoqianshan.
"No one is as cautious as you..."
In Yuqiong Tower, Feng He drank the spirit wine with a speechless look on his face. Although Lingzhi Hall adheres to a low-key approach, no one is more low-key than Jiang Ming. After decades of practicing alchemy,
Never get involved in any trouble.
If there is any trouble, he will be the first to sneak away without watching any excitement...
"But this little Qianshan is going to really change dramatically this time, and I'm ready to leave!"
Feng He sighed: "I don't know if I can come back in the future..."
"There seems to be an old grudge between Yunxi Sect and the cave behind Fire Lotus Valley. Now with Xiao Qianshan's excuse, the two sides are probably going to fight again. What Xiao Qianshan's ancestors got last time seems to be pretty good.
Because it is very important, this trip to the Black Stone Ruins is very important. I am afraid that life and death will really be decided this time..."
Jiang Ming's eyes darkened slightly, it seemed that his guess was correct.
"And this time, the Black Stone Ruins will probably be countless times more lively than usual!" Feng He suddenly smiled, as if he was waiting to see the excitement.
"With Elder Jiedan taking action, apart from those desperadoes, there aren't many people who dare to join in the fun, right?" Jiang Ming said with a smile.
"There are always a lot of desperadoes..."
Feng He shook his head and continued: "And this time, the black stone ruins, the ancient formation that seems to be the ruins, have undergone some strange changes in the process of collapse..."
"I heard that in a large part of the area, the restrictions on cultivation have intensified, and only Qi-training monks can enter... This seems to be the original ruins rule, and for some reason it has been revived again!"
"There is only a small area, the formation is broken, and there are loopholes in the rules. Foundation building and core formation overhauls can break in, but they can only move within a certain range, and it is extremely dangerous..."
"Under such changes, I'm afraid many qi-training monks who originally didn't dare to participate will swarm in!"
