Chapter 47 Biography of Guangnan
According to the written records in the jade slip, the original owner called himself a Sanren of Guangnan, and the time when this jade slip was made was the ninth year of the Song Dynasty and Yuanhe. Lin Shan compared it with today and found that it was about three hundred years ago.
Guangnan Sanren is a sixth-level qi-training monk. According to what he wrote, he accidentally obtained the immortality-cultivating technique when he was in his twenties, and he was ecstatic at the time. After practicing in the deep mountains for a full year and a half, he reached the peak of the third level of Qi training.
Seeing this, Lin Shan felt that this Guangnan Sanren seemed to have similar cultivation qualifications to him, and he had only been practicing for a year and a half. However, I am in the city, and the aura in densely populated areas is naturally not as good as that in the deep mountains and old forests, but in general it is not bad.
Next he looked and saw that Guangnan Sanren found that polishing the acupoints was extremely time-consuming, so they went out to travel around in search of spiritual springs and spiritual acupoints.
After all, it takes ten years to cultivate in the secular world. If you go to a place where the spiritual energy is ten or twenty times richer, wouldn't it be a few months?
But he later discovered that these places with spiritual veins, regardless of the concentration of spiritual energy, were already owned.
Some are occupied by cultivating families, while others are occupied by monsters. And with my third level Qi training strength, no one can offend me.
So after traveling for three years, he returned home sadly, worked hard for ten years, and finally broke through the early stages of Qi training. At this time, he was already in his early forties.
After reaching the fourth level of Qi training, he found that he no longer had bottlenecks and could practice without worries again, so he continued to grow vegetables in his hometown while practicing with peace of mind.
How happy it is to be leisurely and contented!
It took ten years to finally reach the peak of the sixth level of Qi training! At this time, the second bottleneck came again.
Lin Shan couldn't help but be shocked when he saw that Guangnan Sanren, who had similar qualifications to him, would take ten years to reach the peak of the fourth level to the sixth level! Then I calmed down and calculated my age. I felt that it was not unacceptable, so I continued reading.
Guangnan Sanren roughly estimated the bottleneck in the middle stage of Qi training. If he worked hard by himself, it would take a full thirty years.
At this time, he is already over fifty years old. If he waits until he reaches the late stage of Qi training when he is eighty years old, he will almost be buried in the earth, and there will be no hope of everlasting life!
He knew that he was late in cultivating due to his congenital age, and there was no spiritual vein cultivation environment. He could no longer continue to practice hard by himself, so he went down the mountain to look for opportunities.
Finally one time, he met a prince. That prince was a member of the royal family and had met other immortal masters in the world of cultivation.
Seeing him cast a spell by chance, he recognized him at a glance and strongly invited him to be a guest in the palace. The reward for being a guest is five spiritual stones a year.
The Guangnan Sanren had been traveling for many years and had few connections, but now that they had a place to go, they agreed.
In this way, when he was a guest in the prince's palace, he gradually got acquainted with other princes' immortal masters and guests through the channels of his own prince.
We are all casual cultivators with no money and no background, otherwise we would not be able to work for ordinary people.
After all, all the spiritual stone veins in the world of cultivation are in the hands of the great cultivating sects. Only the princes in the mortal world have vast territories and can collect some scattered spiritual stones every year.
Speaking of the world of cultivation three hundred years ago, there were many large and small sects, but most of them were hidden in the mountains.
However, Guangnan Sanren highlighted the three top sects in the Song Dynasty.
Zixiao Sect, Qianyun Pavilion, Yu Beast Valley.
It is said that the three major sects have dominated the Song Dynasty for thousands of years! During this period, dynasties also changed in this land, but the mortal dynasties could not affect the cultivation sect at all.
The Zixiao Sect is a Taoist Xuanzong. It is said that after mastering the "Purple Heart Sutra", the sect's treasure book, the Zixiao Divine Thunder summoned can be compared to the heavenly calamity.
Qianyun Pavilion is a weapon refining sect. Basically half of the magical weapons in the Song Dynasty cultivation world belong to his family, and he has several weapon refining masters. The Beast Controlling Valley is a sect that is good at driving spirit insects and spirit beasts. It is said that this sect is filled with all kinds of Gu insect spirit beasts all over the mountains and plains, and the disciples inside are also the most difficult to mess with in the world of immortality.
Under these three major sects are the major immortal-cultivating families and small and medium-sized sects. Each of these immortal-cultivating family sects also occupies spiritual resources, and the worst among them have foundation-building monks.
It is said that some powerful family sects even have golden elixir stage ancestors sitting in charge.
Seeing this, Lin Shan's breathing suddenly became rapid. The following was indeed what he wanted to know!
After a monk reaches the ninth level of Qi training, he must prepare for a hundred days of foundation building. Every failure in foundation building will damage his potential.
Once the foundation building is successful, you can enter the second stage of immortality cultivation, the foundation building stage. It may also be called the light condensation stage, the qi condensation stage, and so on. It represents the initial condensation of the combination of qi and spirit!
At this point, spiritual consciousness can be released.
He can transmit sounds into secrets, fly with a sword, and detect a distance of 100 meters around him. He can even stop eating grains in the world, completely live without food, double his lifespan, and can live to two hundred years!
Lin Shan watched with fascination.
The spiritual consciousness spreads out in a radius of 100 meters! I don't know how many times more powerful than during the Qi training period. This is the true immortal cultivator.
The Qi training period is just the initial stage. If you are not strong enough, you may even be knocked down by mortals.
And foundation building is the real beginning of cultivating immortals and the beginning of flying with a sword.
Later in the book, the book briefly talks about the subsequent realms. It is said that the lifespan of the subsequent golden elixir stage is 400 years, and the Nascent Soul stage is even 800 years. If there is a life-extending elixir, it is possible to live to be a thousand-year-old monster.
For each major realm, longevity is doubled.
"You can even live to a thousand years in the Nascent Soul stage!"
Lin Shan didn't have too high aspirations this time, these were still far away from him. There will always be a chance to take in the high-altitude scenery. Now let’s take it one step at a time, no rush.
Next, Guangnan Sanren began to continue his experience. While he was a guest in the palace, he met many Sanren cultivators and learned about a small town called "Yinchuan" for cultivating immortals. Guangnan Sanren praised this place quite highly in words.
It is said that the residents inside are all immortal cultivators, and the Immortal Cultivators’ Square City was built under the leadership of the great casual cultivator. It contains not only various treasures, techniques, and pills from the world of cultivation, but also many immortal cultivators who have lived there for many years to practice, because there are also spiritual veins there.
However, Guangnan Sanren did not mark the specific coordinates of "Yinchuan", and Lin Shan did not know where he should go to find the "Yinchuan" mentioned in the book three hundred years later.
But I secretly made a note of it so that I can look for it later.
Then Guangnan Sanren said that once, another guest guest of Sanxiu from another prince's palace invited him to go to "Yinchuan" in Xiuxianfang City. Guangnan Sanren wanted to go there a long time ago and agreed without hesitation, and the two of them immediately set off for Yinchuan.
After arriving in Yinchuan, the scattered talents in Guangnan discovered that compared with the fairyland of Yinchuan, the mortal dynasties outside were simply barren mountains and villages, and the concentration of spiritual energy was simply incomparable!
If he had come here to practice and polish earlier, he would not have had to wait until he was so old to reach the middle stage of Qi training, and he would have wasted his good years.
After learning about it in Yinchuanfang City, Guangnan Sanren felt that the "information gap" was the gap between casual cultivators. He had to stay in Xiuxianfang City to obtain more first-hand information on the cultivation world and gain more knowledge and insights. , and even cultivation!
Therefore, he ignored the hard advice of his friends who were fellow casual cultivators, resolutely resigned from his position as a guest minister in the palace, and took his more than ten years of worship, a total of sixty or seventy spiritual stones, to "Yinchuan" Fang City to take root.
But when he really planned to integrate, he realized that he thought everything was too wonderful.
