The location of Longdahai belongs to the new territory of Jizhou, which was opened less than a thousand years ago.
To the north is the Northern Cold Realm, which is the territory of the Snow Clan.
Although the Snow Tribe doesn't like fighting, their individual cultivation is very powerful. Adult Snow Tribe people are all good at controlling ice and snow.
In the Northern Cold Region, they were invincible.
However, the human race and the snow tribe are separated by hundreds of thousands of miles. During this period, there are mountains and rivers, and it is a terra incognita.
Since the human race can have children, the population has increased. Therefore, a thousand years ago, the Immortal Alliance decided to expand 20,000 miles north.
Two hundred years ago, Taoist Yushan, the ancestor of the Yushan Sect, who was promoted to the Golden Core Stage, was able to occupy the Yushan Mountains and establish the Yushan Sect.
Yushan Sect covers a thousand miles, but it is only one county.
This place is more marginal and few people come to collect it. The spiritual materials are more abundant and the harvest is huge.
This also allows the ancestor of Yushan to successfully enter the middle stage of the Golden Elixir within two hundred years, and is expected to reach the Nascent Soul realm in the future.
However, rewards and risks coexist. The living conditions here are harsh, and powerful monsters appear from time to time.
Losing troops and generals is inevitable.
After two hundred years, Yushan County has forty-three towns and nearly a thousand villages. It seems that there are more than forty foundations and thousands of Qi-training monks.
However, every year, villages are destroyed and monks die.
As a pastoralist and immortal in the Qi training period, building a new village and surviving are all hard work.
Within the sect, all potential disciples are admitted into the inner sect.
Being in the inner sect, you have enough training materials and training time.
Most of the sect tasks every year are simple and not dangerous.
As long as inner disciples can become high-level Qi-training monks within ten years, they can continue to practice with great concentration in Yushan Sect.
If you don't succeed in cultivation within ten years, you will be assigned to the sect's industry and become a manager.
Their starting point may be the end point of the lifelong struggle of outer disciples like Long Dahai.
After receiving five years of teaching and resources from the sect, the outer disciples have to work for the sect for twenty-five years.
"In other words, even if the world is so big, if I want to go out and see it, do I have to wait twenty-five years?"
"You can also give the sect a sum of spiritual stones, three hundred yuan a year is enough."
When Li Youshan heard Long Dahai's question, his tone was calm and he drove the bullock cart without looking back.
"Three hundred dollars is a lot?"
Hearing Long Dahai's question, Li Youshan looked back and looked at him like he used to look at a fool.
"Those senior brothers who have been running the village for a long time can save twenty or thirty spiritual stones a year. It's not more than three hundred. You can do the math yourself."
After hearing Li Youshan's words, Long Dahai closed his mouth knowingly and looked at the surrounding scenery intently.
…
Broad-leaf forest, this is a tree species found only in cold areas.
but…
Long Dahai looked at the nine suns above his head, seven of which were shining brightly. He had some doubts about his judgment.
"Warp space?"
Long Dahai didn't know how to explain these problems.
He simply stopped worrying and began to sort out his memories and make plans for his future journey as a village official.
The Dawang Township where the two were located was not far from the Yushan Sect. The oxcart drove from morning to night, and the two arrived at Dawang Township.
Dawang Township has been under the management of the Wang family for a hundred years. Fifty years ago, the Wang family passed the examination of the Immortal Alliance family and became a true immortal cultivating family, with its own exclusive fiefdom.
Today, the Wang family has two foundation-building monks and more than a dozen Qi-training monks.
This generation of the Wang family also has a disciple who joined the Yushan Sect, but it is different from Long Dahai and others.
After two years of entry, the disciples of the Wang family have reached the fourth level of Qi training and directly become inner disciples of the sect.
After arriving at Dawang Township, Li Youshan came to the sect's headquarters and returned the ox cart.
"Haidai, your home is far away. You will spend the night at my house today and rush back tomorrow morning."
"Is it convenient?"
"If there's any inconvenience, come with me."
The Li family was originally from a good family, but when Li Youshan became qualified to become an immortal, the Wang family took more care of him, and now he is considered a well-known wealthy household in Dawang Township.
The Li family was very happy to see their son back.
That night I killed a goat and a chicken.
The farmhouse is simple and the food is delicious.
After dinner and food, Long Dahai came to the room arranged for him by the Li family to rest.
At this time, Li Youshan was chatting with his family.
"Youshan, the third son of the Long family, looks quite normal, not stupid!"
"Hai Dahai was really stupid before, but in recent days, he must have enlightened and returned to normal."
"Oh, then the aunt of the Long family should be extremely happy. For this third child, the aunt of the Long family has begged the Wang family in a low voice."
"There is nothing the Wang family can do about this kind of thing. The panacea is so precious. How could it be given to a fool?"
The Li family, let’s chat a little bit about Li Dahai’s situation.
Then, Li Youshan's mother said: "Shanzi, a few days ago, the Wang family asked a matchmaker to talk to them about marrying their seventh child to you."
"The seventh child of the Wang family?"
"Yes, that's right..."
…
Before Li Youshan got home, the Wang family had already asked a matchmaker to come over and talk about how they wanted to marry their daughter to him.
Li Youshan also has a fourth-level spiritual root, but now he is at the peak of the third level of Qi training. Within two years, he will definitely be able to break through to the intermediate level of Qi training.
This kind of cultivation is naturally nothing in the Yushan Sect, but to the Wang family, Li Youshan is a rare talent.
Moreover, everyone in the world of cultivation knows that the descendants of monks with spiritual roots are more likely to have spiritual roots than the descendants of ordinary people.
The higher the spiritual root level and the higher the cultivation level, the greater the chance that the descendants will have spiritual roots.
However, it is more difficult for monks to produce offspring than for ordinary people.
Otherwise, everyone can practice cultivation.
After Li Youshan and Long Dahai detected their spiritual roots, the children of the Long family and the Li family became the meat and potatoes of the wealthy and powerful people in Dawang Township.
There are many people who want to marry.
…
"This marriage is okay."
After Li Youshan thought about it, he agreed to the marriage.
However, he had to inquire in detail about the seventh child of the Wang family.
Monks don't have so many rules and regulations, and they can meet and communicate before marriage.
"Now that the child Dahai is normal, what do you think of your sister Lao Wu?"
"Lao Wu is only twelve years old."
"Can we make a marriage contract first? Lao Wu is well-behaved and sensible, and she is also a monk's sister. Marrying Dahai is not a grievance."
Li Youshan: "..."
…
Long Dahai didn't have much to do. After dinner, he was taken to the wing by a little lolita.
After washing briefly, he returned to the house.
Take out an incense burner from the baggage, insert a foot-long incense stick, and light it.
After a while, the room was filled with fragrance.
This fragrance makes people feel at ease and comfortable. This is the Ningshen Incense, a sect item saved by Long Dahai.
Sitting cross-legged, Long Dahai began to meditate with his eyes open and closed.
Along the way, Long Dahai has memorized "The True Explanation of Water Path", and now the secrets are clearly displayed in his mind.
According to the instructions and the explanations I heard in Chuanfa Pavilion, Long Dahai circulated the technique.
The spiritual energy swims from the lower Dantian and begins to circulate slowly along its route.
As the technique was running, Long Dahai felt a trace of water vapor condense around his body, and his consciousness extended like an arm, blending into the water vapor.
Then, the consciousness returned, and a trace of spiritual energy joined the body, running along with the exercise.
Where the Li family is located, the spiritual energy is relatively weak, but it is just right for Long Dahai to make initial contact with.
Long Dahai continuously absorbs, assimilates and circulates, without any feeling of stagnation.
At the same time, my understanding and understanding of "The True Interpretation of Water Paths" continued to deepen.
This made Long Dahai feel relaxed.
The mood is worry-free, and the natural operation becomes more skillful and trouble-free.
He sat quietly all night and did not open his eyes until the rooster crowed.
"I used to feel very sleepy after meditating for an hour, but now I can meditate all night without any hindrance."
Long Dahai felt his own cultivation. He clearly knew that this night's meditation was as good as the previous three days. This was in a place with thin spiritual energy like the Wang family.
"I remember an uncle who built the foundation said that the Qi training period has been chewed up and boiled by the world of cultivation, but you have to understand it yourself during cultivation."
"With different levels of spiritual roots, the amount of spiritual energy absorbed every day is also different."
"A fourth-level spiritual-rooted monk like me, with the help of spiritual stones, meditating for more than two hours every day, and persisting every day, will have a chance to break through to the advanced level of Qi training before the age of thirty."
Recalling the meditation time, Long Dahai's eyes flashed with light.
"I can definitely become a high-level monk ahead of schedule. However, it will take close to seven or eight years of hard training."
"This is just to become a high-level person. To reach perfection, it will take seven or eight years."
"This is still the most ideal situation."
"However, this is already comparable to the speed of third-class or even second-class spiritual roots."
Long Dahai was still a little happy.
However, he thought that the fourth child of the Wang family had become a fourth-level Qi-training monk within two years.
The little pride that Long Dahai felt suddenly disappeared.
