Chapter 1 Qinghe Song Family
Qinghe County, Weiguo, Donghuangxianzhou.
In the northeast corner of Qinghe County, there is a fairy mountain shrouded in clouds and mist, called Funiu Mountain.
Funiu Mountain is nearly a thousand feet high and covered with green grass and trees, just like a giant green cow lying among these mountains.
On the top of the mountain stand dozens of pavilions and pavilions with celestial energy. They are the habitat of the Song family, a family that refines qi and cultivates immortality in Qinghe County.
The ancestor of the Song family was originally a foundation-building monk in the "Xiaoyao Sect", the overlord of the immortal cultivation world in Weiguo.
After his death, his descendants were ostracized by the sect, so they had no choice but to lead their clan members to leave the sect and come to the relatively remote Qinghe County. They occupied the high-grade spiritual lineage of Funiu Mountain and took root and multiplied. Nearly two hundred years ago.
On the mountainside on the west side of Funiu Mountain, in a secret cave.
A youthful-looking young man in Tsing Yi was sitting in front of the wooden table, looking at an khaki animal skin bag placed on the table.
After a while, the boy picked up the bag in front of him and slowly opened the small purple rope tied to the mouth of the bag. Then there was a "ding-dong" sound of metal colliding, and a bunch of things rolled out of the bag. Glowing stone.
These stones are all colorful, and each of them exudes a dazzling light.
The young man then took out two stones from his body that also emitted a faint red light, placed them among these stones, and began to count the pile of glowing stones in front of him softly.
“A total of seventy-five yuan, plus the fifteen points of meritorious service recorded in the family’s golden pavilion, no more, no less, just ten spiritual stones are missing.
According to the current accumulation of spiritual stones Speed, it should be smooth in half a year at the earliest. I changed it to a Qi Gathering Pill, so that I can break through the middle stage of Qi Refining."
After thinking quickly, the young man who calmed down carefully reinstalled all the spirit stones on the table. Hide the bag in one of the walls of the cave.
The young man in green is named Song Qingming, and he is the seventh among the fourth generation monks of the Song family who are named "Qing".
Ten years ago, he was a mortal. Fortunately, his tribe discovered that he carried spiritual roots that could be cultivated, and he was able to enter the family's holy land, Funiu Mountain, to practice. He happened to be twenty years old this year. The third level of Qi cultivation.
If an ordinary mortal has spiritual roots like him, and successfully introduces Qi into the body after practicing, he can enter the Qi refining period and become a cultivator, also called a monk.
Monks in the Qi refining period can cleanse their bodies and strengthen their physique through daily practice of swallowing the spiritual energy between heaven and earth.
You can also use the spiritual power refined in your body to use various spells. High-level monks can even ride on the wind and clouds, move mountains and fill seas, and turn decay into magic.
In this world of immortality, ordinary mortals can only live to be seventy or eighty years old at most, while monks in the Qi Refining Stage can normally live for two decades and one hundred and twenty years, which is almost twice as long as ordinary mortals.
If you break through to a higher level of cultivation, your lifespan will be doubled. When you practice to become an immortal, you will be able to ascend to the immortal world and live as long as the heaven and earth like the legendary immortals. This is what all monks have in common. The pursuit of eternal life.
The cultivation levels of monks in the human world are mainly divided into five levels: "qi refining, foundation building, pill formation, Yuanying, and god transformation".
It is said that there are higher levels for monks who transform themselves into gods, but the spiritual energy in this world is relatively thin and cannot support the monks in this world to practice to higher levels.
After a monk reaches the late stage of divine transformation, any further breakthrough in cultivation will be repelled by the power of the interface and will automatically ascend to other upper interfaces. Therefore, the highest cultivation level of the monks in this world can only reach the late stage of divine transformation.
The luminous stones in Song Qingming's hands are an item in the world of immortality that can increase the speed of monks' own cultivation. They are also the mainstream currency used among monks in this world to trade various cultivation resources needed for cultivation.
The "Qi Gathering Pill" he just mentioned is a common pill in the world of immortality that helps monks like him in the early stages of Qi refining break through to the middle stage of Qi refining.
Every time a monk reaches the peak state of a level of mana in his body and needs to break through to the next level, he will encounter a bottleneck. Unless you are a genius monk with outstanding spiritual roots, you don't need to think too much about this issue.
Ordinary monks can only rely on slowly practicing to absorb spiritual energy to polish bottlenecks. It is difficult to break through in a short period of time.
If you want to quickly break through the bottleneck, you need to rely on the assistance of swallowing some pills, spiritual objects and other external objects. Although the Qi Gathering Pill is not a rare elixir in Qinghe County, it is still a top-grade elixir. One normal elixir in the market costs at least one hundred spirit stones. Song Qingming has been saving for a long time, but he is still short of ten spirit stones.
There are not many ways for low-level monks like him to earn spirit stones. The annual spiritual stone salary issued by the family, plus the occasional low-level family tasks, can be followed by hunting with the elders of the family. Monster.
In one year, after all the training needs are taken away, at most, only a dozen spirit stones can be saved.
Song Qingming also learned a formation technique in the clan in the past few years. He usually helps other people in the clan draw some auxiliary formations and arrange some low-level formations on the magical weapons and robes they refine. Earned some more spiritual stones.
Coupled with the frugality in recent years, we are finally getting it together.
Although his own cultivation speed is average and he has not yet broken through the middle stage of Qi refining at the age of twenty, fortunately he was born in a family of cultivators. He has been protected by the elders of the clan since he was a child, and his cultivation has been smooth.
Compared to those wandering casual cultivators, at least Song Qingming has had a fixed spiritual practice since he started practicing, and he can always be taught by the elders of his clan if he has any questions about his cultivation.
In Qinghe County, the monks with more backgrounds are still scattered cultivators. Most of them do not have a fixed spiritual practice, and have long been running around all day for a few cultivation resources.
Spiritual veins are the foundation of monks’ cultivation. When monks cultivate on spiritual veins, they will be full of spiritual energy. The speed of absorbing spiritual energy will be several times faster than that of the outside world, so they can practice with twice the result with half the effort.
A high-grade spiritual vein like Funiu Mountain can easily be used by more than twenty monks in the Qi refining period of the Song family.
If you don't have spiritual veins and practice in the barren mountains and ridges of the outside world, the supply of spiritual energy from heaven and earth is limited. If a cultivator wants to increase his cultivation speed, he can only rely on refining spiritual stones to fill it, which requires a lot of cultivation resources.
Song Qingming also tried to break through the middle stage of Qi refining in the past two years. However, not only did he not succeed in breaking through, but the backlash caused by the failed breakthrough damaged his meridians, and it took him several months of cultivation to fully recover.
This made him gradually give up and realize that he was not a cultivation genius.
Nowadays, Song Qingming wants to successfully break through the cultivation level, and slowly cultivates to polish off the bottlenecks. Normally, it would take him five to ten years to successfully break through naturally.
But this way, it takes too much time to practice, so I choose to take pills to help the monks break through quickly. This is also a method used by most monks in the world of immortality.
Although Song Qingming has been working very hard in cultivation, he is only a monk with the four spiritual root attributes of gold, wood, fire and earth. This is just an ordinary low-level spiritual root qualification in the world of immortality.
There are also different types of spiritual roots in monks.
Generally, they are specifically classified according to the number of the five elements spiritual roots in the body. The spiritual roots have five attributes: gold, wood, water, fire and earth.
The monk who has fewer spiritual roots in his body. During cultivation, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth will be refined to be purer, and the cultivation speed will be correspondingly faster. On the contrary, the more spiritual roots exist in a monk's body and the refined spiritual energy will be too complex, the slower the cultivation speed will be.
A monk with mixed spiritual roots who has all five elements in his body and five spiritual roots has the slowest cultivation speed.
Unless such monks have a large supply of resources, it will be difficult for them to even reach the late stage of Qi refining.
The four spiritual roots like Song Qingming are pseudo-spiritual roots, and their cultivation speed will be slightly faster. If you practice harder, and if your family can provide some resources and help, there is a great chance that you can Those who have cultivated to the late stage of Qi refining.
More than 80% of the monks in the entire world of immortality are ordinary monks like him with four or five spiritual roots.
Normally, it would be difficult for monks like them to break through to the next big realm, the foundation-building stage.
However, in the path of cultivating immortality, in addition to spiritual root qualifications, luck and opportunity are also very important.
Although Song Qingming's spiritual qualifications are average, he has been diligent in the past ten years since he entered the path of cultivation, and he has never slackened in his cultivation.
