When Chen Xuan heard Feng Shi mention the word "evil", he thought to himself that he was talking about his master Gu Chenxiao?
If it was as he had guessed, these monks were so secretive about the name of evil doctors, as if they mentioned his master, they would cause a disaster. Could it be that his master did something that was angry and resentful in the mountains and sea realms?
Thinking of this, Chen Xuan couldn't help feeling helpless: "Master, Master, don't cheat your disciple, you still want to live in this world for a longer time."
"Ahem, after saying so much, I wonder if fellow Daoist Chen is willing to go with us to collect herbs in Liyun Valley?" Zou Ran sent a kind invitation to Chen Xuan.
Chen Xuan knew that this casual cultivator named Zou Ran was the highest among the five casual cultivators, and he also knew that there were so many strange stories in the mountains and sea worlds, and that it must be more than just casual cultivators.
But he happened to want to learn more about the mountains and sea realms, and to go to Liyun Valley to collect herbs and have the opportunity to exchange for the thirteenth level of Qi Refining Physicians, so he agreed without hesitation: "I have to worry about all fellow Taoists along the way."
After hearing Chen Xuan's agreement, Zhang Qing looked happy: "It's great. With such a powerful support as Brother Chen, our team of casual cultivators will grow a little more!"
The other four casual cultivators were also as happy as Zhang Qing.
Chen Xuan was very hungry at this moment. He looked at the corpse of the snow ape and the giant bird on the snow and said, "I wonder if the meat of these two beasts can be eaten?"
"The meat of the snow ape and the red green one-eyed bird cannot be eaten raw. Even after cooking, the taste is unpleasant. If Fellow Daoist Chen did not bring dry food, Zou can give you some." Zou Ran took out a bag of dry food generously.
"Brother Chen, I have it here too, and there is water!" Zhang Qing also put his dry food bag in front of Chen Xuan.
"Thank you!"
Chen Xuan was so hungry that he took dry food and water bags without hesitation, and swallowed them in front of the five casual cultivators.
While watching the five people looked at each other, they also felt a little funny.
The five thought that Chen Xuan was probably a young man who came out to see the world in a small place, but he didn't even know how wide the Tianjue Mountains were, so he didn't bring enough dry food and water.
After Chen Xuan had almost finished eating and drinking, the group set off again and walked south.
"In our southwest, there are very few monks like Fellow Chen who practice martial arts. Just now, Zou thought Fellow Chen was from the central prefecture."
Zou Ran chatted intentionally or unintentionally, but Chen Xuan could hear that this was the beginning of exploring his bottom line.
Therefore, he pretended to be ignorant and responded: "Why did Brother Zou say that? Do I look like a person from the Central State?"
"Not this." Zou Ran's lips hung a faint smile and continued, "Fellow Daoist Chen really didn't know about martial arts. The Central Prefecture Region was the place where martial arts were popular back then. Although martial arts had long declined now, there were still many powerful martial arts sects in the Central Prefecture Region. The so-called martial arts are different from our normal monks. They pay great attention to tempering their bodies and rarely use foreign objects. They do not focus on cultivating their vitality like us. But I think that fellow Taoist Chen understands martial arts and takes the path of Qi refining. Isn't it too much to waste time? You must know that our cultivators are competing for their lives with the heavens and can't afford to waste time."
The other four casual cultivators were also curious about why Chen Xuan wanted to practice both martial arts and martial arts.
As casual cultivators, their cultivation resources are far from comparable to those of the disciples of the sect. Before breaking through the Golden Pill Yuanying and extending their lifespan, they can only practice one sect. They have no time to learn other elixirs and weapons, let alone practice martial arts.
"I practiced martial arts since I was a child. Later, by chance, I got a magical method of cultivating immortals and embarked on the road of cultivating immortals. But I was reluctant to abandon my martial arts, so I was like you have seen." Chen Xuan said with a helpless look.
The five casual cultivators suddenly realized what they said.
The reason why casual cultivators are not as good as sect cultivators is because no one can guide them and they cannot tell which one is more important on the road of cultivation. When they wake up later, they have spent a lot of time in vain.
Among the five casual cultivators, Chen Xuan had not yet realized how important time is to the monks.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, listen to my advice and give up martial arts. We wandering cultivators don't know how many of us will never be able to break through the foundation-building stage in our lifetime. Even if we break through, we will be seventy-year-olds and eighty-year-olds. For example, we all reach the last level of the Qi Refining stage within the age of fifty. We are already considered to be very talented. I think fellow Daoist Chen is also a talented person. Don't be misled by martial arts to practice." Yan Meng, a strong man with a big and thick appearance, is kind-hearted, and because he is a casual cultivator, he feels sympathy for Chen Xuan.
"Thank you for your reminder." Chen Xuan smiled and expressed his gratitude.
Of course, he would not give up martial arts easily. Since martial arts can also be proved in the mountains and sea realms, he also has the picture of true martial arts. Of course, he has to try whether he can go further on this path of cultivation.
"To put it, I wonder what level of Qi Refining Stage Brother Chen is? I have the lowest level of Qi Refining Stage in our team, only the seventh level of Qi Refining Stage, which made Brother Chen laugh." Zhang Qing touched his head and said a little embarrassedly.
"There is the ninth level of Qi Refining Stage below."
After hearing Chen Xuan report that his cultivation level was revealed, the five casual cultivators looked surprised.
In their opinion, Chen Xuan is only in his twenties and can actually practice to the ninth level of Qi Refining Stage under the dual cultivation of martial arts. His talent is considered to be a good one among casual cultivators.
The other four casual cultivators also reported their cultivation, among which Zou Ran had the highest cultivation level and had entered the eleventh level of Qi Refining Period; Yan Meng, Song Feng, like Chen Xuan, were all nine levels; and Feng Shi was eight levels.
When Zou Ran told about his cultivation level, the other four casual cultivators were so envious, because entering the eleventh level means that Zou Ran obtained a martial art at the eleventh level of the Qi Refining Period.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, don't envy me like them. Although I have practiced to the eleventh level of the Qi Refining Stage, once I practice this eleventh level of my martial arts, I will not be able to practice other qi refining techniques. In other words, I will not be able to practice it even if I get a thirteenth level of the Qi Refining Stage in the future." Zou Ran's tone was full of regret.
Chen Xuan followed his words and asked, "If you say so, Brother Zou, are you going to hit the foundation building stage next?"
"Yes, this time I went to Liyun Valley to collect herbs. I must find the Fire Cloud Grass that can be exchanged for the Foundation Building Pill. A Foundation Building Pill can increase my foundation building success rate by 20%. "Zou Ran said that the Foundation Building Pill, a hint of hotness appeared in his eyes.
Chen Xuan nodded and asked again: "If you use external objects to break through the foundation building, will it have an impact on the foundation?"
"There is such a saying, but we casual cultivators have no choice? The most important thing is to quickly break through the foundation-building period and extend the life span to 150 years old before continuing to practice. Moreover, even if the foundation-building pill affects the foundation, it is still exchanged in limited quantities and has been robbed of pills by countless monks!" Zou Ran said with a wry smile.
