Chapter 59 The Difficulty of Cultivating Immortals
The family school is not big. After all, there are only more than eighty monks in the entire Su family, and there are less than ten minors. The person who taught Su Fan and the others was an uncle who was at the sixth level of Qi training.
This is the seniority of the Su family. The current patriarch of the Su family is the Wanzi generation, Su Wanjun. In fact, the seniority of the Su family was also determined sixty years ago after the Su family established its foothold in Yunwu Mountain.
Su Fan was their ancestor, and the person who taught them was Su Shaoyuan.
These days, Su Fan has been asking for advice. At the same time, he is also reading some historical records of immortal cultivation in the family's scripture collection pavilion, especially the humanistic notes left by some family predecessors.
Of course, there is also some information collected from outside.
It also gave Su Fan a little understanding of the world.
The Yunwu Mountain where Su Fan is located is located within Yu County, one of the three counties in the south of Zheng State. It is one of several major spiritual veins in Yu County. It is not very good. After all, it is only a second-level low-grade one.
The lowest among the other four major families are second-level middle-grade ones, and even the Wang family, the first family in Yu County, has a second-order high-grade spiritual vein.
Regarding spiritual veins, Su Fan already knew that the higher the level of the spiritual veins, the richer the spiritual energy contained.
Reiki is also a necessary thing for cultivators.
The Su family is a new family. The Su family was established less than a hundred years ago. The ancestor of the family accidentally obtained a senior cave seventy years ago, obtained the foundation building pill, and then broke through to build the foundation.
Later, sixty years ago, the demon clan was in turmoil, and the Yunyang Sect issued a recruitment order. The ancestor responded and gained military exploits in this human-monster war.
After the war, he exchanged his merit points for a foundation-building pill, and then gave it to Su Shi'an, a senior member of the Su family, to take it. The latter also broke through the foundation-building pill in one fell swoop.
In this way, the ancestor Su Wanjun led Su Shi'an and a dozen or so members of the previous Su family to conquer Yunwu Mountain, completely establishing the Su family's prestige in Yu County.
This is family history.
The Su family is too short, far inferior to the other four families in Yu County. Even the shortest one is more than two hundred years old. The longest one is not the Wang family, but the Liu family, which is eight hundred years old.
It is a pity that the Liu family has been in decline recently. During the last monster riot, two foundation-building monks died in the family.
Even if the Yunyang Sect makes amends, there are only two foundation builders now. Their background may be stronger than that of the Su family, but in terms of real strength, they are not much different.
After all, Su Wanjun, the ancestor of the Su family, is not simple in terms of strength in foundation building.
Knowing the family history, Su Fan also knew something about the Su family and the world of immortality. As expected, this world of immortality was much crueler than the previous martial arts world.
In a monster riot, tens of thousands of monks died, even foundation-building monks were no exception.
Su Fan already understood this world, including levels of cultivation, Qi training, foundation building, Zifu, Golden Pill, and Nascent Soul.
In the Zheng State, the Golden Elixir is already the most powerful. Only the Yunyang Sect has two Golden Elixir Ancestors. The same is true. In the Zheng State, the Yunyang Sect is the overlord, the unique overlord.
The countries in the world of immortality are not dynasties, but everything is ruled by the Yunyang Sect, and the immortals are at the top.
In Yu County, foundation building is the most powerful. There are not many foundation building masters in the entire Yu County. There are probably less than 30 from several major families, including casual cultivators. Of course, there may be some hidden ones.
.
But sixty years ago, in that battle, no fewer than fifty or sixty foundation-building monks died.
It is equivalent to two Yu counties, and the entire Zheng State is only eight counties.
As for the Qi-training monks, even more died.
And this human-monster war usually happens once every hundred years.
It is conceivable that the cruelty of immortal cultivators in this world, let alone mortals, if there were no immortal cultivators, I am afraid they would only become the food of monsters or demon cultivators.
Even if there are immortal cultivators to protect them, many times they will die tragically in large numbers. After all, demon cultivators can appear and disappear, and immortal cultivators cannot protect them all the time.
Knowing all this, although Su Fan was prepared in his heart, he still couldn't help but feel chills. In the world of Swordsman, Su Fan was confident that except for being worried in the first few months, he would not be concerned about his own safety later on.
How much worry there is.
After all, in the martial arts world, although martial arts is powerful, it still has its upper limit.
However, this world is different. From those brief family histories of travel notes, Su Fan can feel the blood inside.
The most important thing is that when a cultivator with a high level of cultivation kills a person with a weak level of cultivation, it is like slaughtering chickens.
This also made Su Fan somewhat insecure.
Of course, fortunately, he still has a good family, the Zhuji Family. In Yu County, at least there will not be too much danger.
But there were still forty years before the next beast rebellion, and he knew that once it broke out, no one in Zheng could disobey the Yunyang Zong's edict.
Therefore, he must break through to build the foundation within these forty years. By that time, the chance of saving his life may be greatly increased.
Qi training monks are really too dangerous in a battle.
Can we break through to foundation building in forty years?
Anyone else would definitely be in despair. The monks with fourth or fifth spiritual roots in the family are fifty years old. Many of them are at the fourth or fifth level of Qi training, and some are even in the early stages of Qi training.
It can be seen that the cultivation speed of this waste spiritual root is very slow, which makes people despair. As for breaking through the foundation building, he also inquired about it. I am afraid that three or four, or even more, foundation building pills are needed to break through.
The Foundation Establishment Pill can assist Qi Practitioners to break through the Foundation Establishment. Generally, with two or three spiritual roots, there is at least a 40% chance of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment realm by taking the Foundation Establishment Pill.
This is already very high. If there is no Foundation Establishment Pill, then the chance of a forced breakthrough is less than one tenth. Moreover, without the Foundation Establishment Pill, the result of an unsuccessful breakthrough is death due to broken meridians.
To break through miscellaneous spiritual roots and waste spiritual roots, more foundation-building pills are needed, and foundation-building pills are so precious. In the entire Zheng Kingdom, there are very few forces that can refine foundation-building pills.
Except for the Yunyang Sect, there are only two or three forces that can take them out, and among these forces, only Taihe Mountain will take out one or two for sale from time to time.
Taihe Mountain is the holy land for casual cultivators in the Zheng Kingdom. There is an ancestor of the ninth level of the Zi Mansion who sits there, and he is also a master of alchemy.
Within ten or twenty years, a furnace of foundation-building pills will be opened and sometimes taken out.
But this one usually requires at least 30,000 spirit stones to win.
Su Fan didn't know how many spirit stones the Su family had, but in the past sixty years, a total of six foundation-building pills had leaked out of Mount Taihe, but the Su family had not bought them once.
It can be seen that the Su family is not wealthy anymore.
As for the Su family not wanting the Foundation Building Pill, that is absolutely impossible. At the ninth level of Qi training, the Su family also has several elders.
One more foundation-building monk will increase the strength of the Su family.
No family would give up on the Foundation Establishment Pill. The only reason is probably that the Su family has 'no money'.
Knowing all this, Su Fan also knew that his future would be very difficult, because his spiritual roots were destined not to receive much attention from the family, let alone investment.
Su Fan knew this very well in the Huashan Sect.
Therefore, if he wants to build a foundation, he can only rely on himself. Of course, if he can show his extraordinary cultivation speed, it is not impossible to impress his ancestor.
But right now, all he needs to do is choose a technique to cultivate immortality.
