The breeze blew slowly across the top of the mountain, the sun warmed the earth, and everything was so quiet and harmonious.
Three years later, on a cliff on the Biyun Peak of Jiuhua Mountain, a young man in blue clothes was sitting cross-legged on a stone, meditating and practicing meditation.
There were sounds of birds chirping in the mountains and breeze blowing in the air, but none of this seemed to have anything to do with this young man. He was just closing his eyes and feeling the fluctuations in his heart.
He is Chen Zhiyu, who has been practicing for three years. Now he has reached the peak of the third level of Qi training, and can be said to be the best among the disciples of the same generation.
That day, he refined Qi into his body and successfully broke through to the first level of Qi training. Chen Zhihu, Chen Zhixue, Chen Zhixiao, Chen Zhimu and others also entered the first level of Qi training one after another. And half a year later, 24 who entered the mountain together that year
Most people have basically stepped into the realm of Qi training.
In the end, the great elder's reward was of course obtained by Chen Zhizhi, Chen Zhiyu, and Chen Zhihu.
The first place winner, Chen Zhizhi, received a first-grade white silk and 30 low-grade spiritual stones. The white silk was extremely suitable for women and was worth more than a hundred low-grade spiritual stones. But Chen Zhizhi was so happy, and the magic weapon was
The material is very good. It will be possible to advance to second-level magical weapons and third-level spiritual weapons in the future. It is equivalent to Zhizhi, a girl who doesn’t have to look for magic weapons until she is in the middle of her Qi training.
Chen Zhiyu, who came in second place, received a first-grade high-grade white jade turtle shield and 20 low-grade spiritual stones. According to his mother, the turtle shield was made from the shell of a white jade turtle in the late stage of Qi training supplemented by many spiritual materials.
It is refined and ranks among the best among first-level high-grade magic weapons. There is still a lot of room for advancement.
Chen Zhihu, who came in third place, got an army-breaking hammer and 10 low-grade spiritual stones, but they were just enough to reach the threshold of a high-grade magic weapon. Compared with Chen Zhizhi's Bai Ling and Chen Zhiyu's turtle shield, they were far behind. However, Rao
In this case, Chen Zhihu is also very happy. After all, it is a first-class high-grade magic weapon. Given Chen Zhihu's family background, he still has to tighten his belt for a while to buy it.
Half a year after entering the first level of Qi training, Chen Zhiyu reached the peak of the first level. After a few days, he broke through to the second level of Qi training. At this time, several people with five spiritual roots had just entered the Qi training stage.
After another year and a half, Chen Zhiyu had begun to overtake Chen Zhizhi, taking the lead in breaking through to the third level of Qi training, while others had already fallen behind.
Today, Chen Zhiyu has reached the peak of the third level of Qi training, and will be able to break through to the fourth level of Qi training in a while. However, Chen Zhiyu has been stuck at this level for two months. He is also very helpless and can't help but sigh.
Having mixed spiritual roots means that you are slow in cultivation.
And now Chen Zhizhi and Chen Zhihu have just broken through to the late stage of the third level of Qi training, while Chen Zhimu and Chen Zhixue have already reached the middle stage of the third level.
What is surprising is that the little fat boy Chen Zhibao crossed the threshold of the third-level mid-level one step ahead of Chen Zhixiao.
As for the others, most of them are still practicing Qi on the first and second levels.
In the past three years, Chen Zhiyu was able to cultivate so quickly, even surpassing Chen Zhizhi who had supernatural spiritual roots. In addition to his own efforts, it was also inseparable from his grandfather who had a foundation building period.
Chen Zhiyu's grandfather is one of the only two Foundation Establishment monks in his family's generation. He is now at the peak of the fourth level of Foundation Establishment. He is only over 150 years old. He is also a quasi-third-level alchemist. His status in the family is very high.
Quite high.
The reason why he is quasi-third-level is because the family only has two third-level low-grade elixirs in his collection. He can only refine two third-level low-grade elixirs. To become a third-level alchemist, you need to be able to refine three third-level elixirs.
Only grade elixirs will do.
After the old man learned about Chen Zhiyu's spiritual roots, he immediately announced the end of the retreat. He personally guided Chen Zhiyu in his practice. Of course, he still had to go to the Great Elder's morning class in the morning.
The old man did not hesitate to waste his mana to nourish Chen Zhiyu's meridians himself, making Chen Zhiyu's meridians stronger, and future breakthroughs before establishing the foundation would be less resistant.
Using magic power to nourish other people's meridians and test the caster's control of spiritual power are, after all, other people's meridians. If you are not careful, your meridians will be damaged and you will be unable to practice.
Moreover, this method must last for at least a year to be effective. This shows how much Mr. Chen Zhiyu values his grandson.
After a year, even with the old man's powerful magical power, he couldn't hold on anymore, so he went into retreat again half a year ago.
Chen Zhiyu shook his head, stood up, patted his clothes, and started to rush home.
Walking outside the courtyard, it was still the same scene as before. When I opened the door, I heard a long-awaited voice: "Yu'er, you are back. Do you miss your mother?"
This is Chen Zhiyu's mother who has been in seclusion for three years. In the eyes of mortals, she is the fifty-five-year-old longevity person Chen Yuting.
Chen Yuting had already reached the limit of the eighth level of Qi training, but she had been worried that her smart and lovely son would not have spiritual roots, so she was worried and could not retreat peacefully.
It's strange to say that after giving birth to three sons, she didn't care much about the eldest son or the second son, but the younger son always touched her heart, and even made her feel that the opportunity to build her foundation should be here.
On my younger son.
Yes, she still wanted to build a foundation. Although she was born as a casual cultivator, her father was also a foundation-building monk. She herself also had three spiritual roots, and the purity was not low. However, when she was ten years old, her father and others went out to hunt monsters.
The beast died unexpectedly, so he was reduced to a small Qi practitioner setting up a street stall. He struggled alone in the world of cultivation for decades until he met Chen Shifeng.
At that time, he was being hunted and was accidentally rescued by Chen Shifeng. Chen Shifeng was only at the fifth level of Qi training at that time, but he had already broken through to the seventh level of Qi training. He originally did not want to marry Chen Shifeng.
After all, as a casual cultivator, she was able to reach the seventh level of Qi training in her twenties. Apart from her good spiritual roots and having a father who was in the foundation building stage, it was more or less a chance.
With her cultivation speed and current level of cultivation, she is on par with some of the disciples of the foundation-building family, and can even be said to be ahead of them. How can she compete with Chen, who only has the fifth level of Qi training and no hope of foundation-building?
The world is together!
However, by chance, she and Chen Shifeng became a couple. Seeing that he was handsome and handsome, she had no choice but to become a Taoist couple with Chen Shifeng.
Later, she learned that Chen Shifeng came from a wealthy family and that the family was quite powerful. She was also an alchemist. She didn't feel that it was a big loss. Isn't this cultivation of immortality just about the Taoism of wealthy couples?
Among the four arts of cultivation, alchemy involves burning spiritual stones and elixirs. It also has strict requirements on spiritual roots. Only those with both fire and wood spiritual roots can become alchemists.
Although the path of an alchemist is difficult, after becoming an alchemist, won't there be a lot of spiritual stones? She is also a spiritual talisman master herself, and she knows that becoming a talisman master requires less resources, but getting started with spiritual talismans is easy.
In the later stage, the requirements for cultivating spells are very high. Therefore, most casual cultivators will choose to become weapon refiners and talisman masters, but there are only a few with high grades.
As for the Formation Master among the Four Arts of Cultivation, it not only requires resources, but also talent. It can be said that there is no one in a thousand among ordinary monks.
When she later found out that Chen Shifeng already had a concubine and a son and a daughter, and that the eldest son was the same age as herself, she didn't think it was a big deal. After all, this was not a mortal world. She was a monk and her interests were
The greatest bond.
Chen Shifeng could give her a better cultivation environment and give her more hope of building a foundation, so she didn't mind that very much.
It's just that she is not a member of the Chen clan. Although her talent is good and her cultivation speed is fast, she is a woman, so her family will not give her much help.
Even her husband and father-in-law didn't give her much hope. In addition, she gave birth to three sons in a row, which damaged her vitality. In more than thirty years, she only broke through one more level and reached the peak of the eighth level of Qi training.
for.
She originally planned to forcefully pass the test when she is in her seventies, but the arrival of her third child gave her hope.
When she was pregnant with him, she absorbed spiritual energy relatively quickly, and she had a deep feeling that her youngest son would be the key to breaking through the foundation-building stage, so she did not continue to retreat after breaking through to the eighth level.
, instead he grew up with his son.
Originally, the immortal cultivator had little relationship with her, but this little son came at a good time and allowed her to experience what it's like to be a mother.
Now that she is out of seclusion, she is even more radiant, and her cultivation has broken through to the ninth level of Qi training.
Chen Shifeng next to him looked a bit haggard. His cultivation level was still at the seventh level of Qi Refining three years ago, but it was more solid and basically unchanged.
"Of course Yu'er misses you!"
As he spoke, he acted coquettishly.
Chen Shifeng on the side also smiled a little. He didn't like to smile, but he had a powerful wife and his son was even more depressed.
But now that the family of three is reunited, they are asking questions again. This scene is actually very warm.
Chen Zhiyu told his father and mother that his cultivation had reached a bottleneck and he needed to go to the affairs hall to take on a task to practice.
In fact, Chen Zhiyu encountered some bottleneck! It was entirely because he wanted to go out and didn't want to stay at home every day.
His parents would definitely disagree if he told him directly, so he made a pretense that he encountered a bottleneck. Even if his parents knew that what he said was a lie, they would let him go out.
Hearing Chen Zhiyu's words, Chen Shifeng objected. He finally had a son with excellent spiritual roots, and his cultivation speed was so fast. Now he was only at the third level of Qi training, so how could he be willing to let him go out?
.
As he spoke, he also took out a porcelain bottle and said: "This bottle contains Yunlu Dan, which can help you break through the fourth level of Qi training. Don't think about running away all the time. It's important to learn a skill as soon as possible."
Chen Zhiyu has the best spiritual roots of fire, wood and earth. The spiritual roots are interdependent, and the fire and wood spiritual roots are the strongest. He has good qualifications and a good cultivation speed. Chen Shifeng has long regarded Chen Zhiyu as his alchemy successor.
"The Yunlu Pill contained in this bottle is a first-class high-grade elixir. It can assist in the middle stage of Qi training and shorten the time for breakthrough."
With that said, he handed the bottle to Chen Zhiyu, but Chen Zhiyu did not take the bottle immediately.
Instead, he said: "Father, I know you are doing it for my own good, but think about how you can break through to a higher realm if you use pills every time to break through.
Besides, now is the time to lay the foundation. If you take the elixir now, what will you do in the future? Even if you have to take it, Yu'er plans to take it after the foundation is laid. "
Chen Shifeng was about to continue persuading him, but his wife Chen Yuting stopped him at this time. Of course Chen Yuting felt sorry for Chen Zhiyu, but she also hoped that Chen Zhiyu could succeed in cultivation.
She is a casual cultivator, and she knows that in order to go further, one must practice hard, especially one's character must be tempered, otherwise even if she achieves a breakthrough, it will be of no use to her future cultivation. Moreover, Yu'er is still young, so she does not necessarily need to take pills.
breakthrough.
Of course, she also understood that this was just an excuse for her precious son to want to go out. How could she not know if she knew her son better than her mother?
So she said: "Mother doesn't object to you going out to practice, but your current cultivation level is too low and your age is too young.
You are worried about your mother going out alone, and it just so happens that your twelfth uncle is sending a batch of resources to the family's store in Qingyunfang City, so you should go out with him to experience it."
Uncle Twelve is the younger brother of Chen Zhiyu's father. He is the twelfth in his generation. His name is Chen Shiyun. He is also a genius in cultivation. He has spiritual roots of earth, water and gold. He is now the sixth elder of the family.
At the age of fifty, he had reached the perfect state of Qi training. At the age of fifty-two, his family received a Foundation-Building Pill. Later, with the help of his father and brother, he redeemed the Foundation-Building Pill.
After three years of seclusion, I thought that the family would be able to add another foundation-building monk. Unexpectedly, Chen Shiyun failed to build the foundation and was seriously injured. Fortunately, he saved his life.
Now eight years have passed, and Chen Shiyun has almost recovered from his injuries. He still has another chance to attack the foundation building. He is now actively preparing. However, the family does not have the foundation building pill. Even if there is, I am afraid that he will not be able to participate.
, he could only look around to see if he could find some spiritual objects that could assist in foundation building.
This time he escorted the resources to the family's market, probably because he also had the intention of looking for foundation-building spiritual objects.
With his cultivation level, as long as he doesn't meet the foundation-building monks, there won't be any big problem. It would be safer to go out with him for a run.
Chen Zhiyu thought about her mother's plan and knew that it was impossible for him to go out alone, so she agreed.
Chen Yuting then handed the Yunlu Pill to Chen Zhiyu and said, "Yu'er, please take this Yunlu Pill as well. Maybe you can use it when practicing."
This ordinary Yunlu Pill is worth seven or eight spirit stones. Chen Shifeng is a second-level alchemist, so the Yunlu Pill he gave must be of high quality. I am afraid it is worth more than a dozen low-grade spirit stones. Chen Zhiyu also followed suit.
Accepted.
Although they agreed with Chen Zhiyu to go out and his twelfth uncle followed him, Chen Shifeng and his wife were still a little worried.
Chen Shifeng gave him another five or six bottles of healing and aura-restoring elixirs and a first-level mid-grade flying sword. Both the elixir and the flying sword were of high quality.
Chen Yuting brought him a dozen more first-level spiritual talismans. Finally, after thinking about it, she took out three more spiritual talismans and said: "These three are all second-level low-grade spiritual talismans. One is called the Fireball Talisman. It can kill the first-level talisman by surprise."
The monks who have entered the late stage of Qi training; one is called the Golden Sword Talisman, which is already comparable to the second-level mid-level talisman. After being activated, it can kill the monks in the late stage of Qi training. Even the monks at the ninth level of Qi training will be injured; and there is another
Zhang is called the Earth Escape Talisman. After being activated, you can escape quickly. As for the effect, it depends on the user's mana."
After saying that, he took out a bead and a cyan storage bag and gave them to him.
The bead is a second-level mid-grade magic weapon called the Spiritual Bead. After being activated, it can form a protective shield of spiritual energy around itself, which can resist the attacks of monks at the ninth level of Qi training. However, it consumes a lot of spiritual energy. With Chen Zhiyu's current
Spiritual power can be exhausted after using it for at most three times.
Chen Yuting then instructed: "This bag is a storage bag. You can put everything in it. There are also some spiritual stones that your father and I put in it. Be careful on the road and listen to your twelfth uncle's words."
Seeing these things, Chen Zhiyu's eyes became sore and he nodded.
Then he agreed and went back to his room to pack his things and prepare to go to Fangshi with Uncle Twelve tomorrow.
