Eternal Tranquility

Every breakthrough in the cultivation realm of a monk requires an improvement in both mana and state of mind. The improvement of the state of mind can also rely on a moment of enlightenment, but the accumulation of mana is an extremely slow process.

Therefore, monks seem to have a lifespan that far exceeds that of ordinary people, but they spend a lot of time, even longer than an ordinary person's life, in retreat and practice.

One person, one cave, running his mind over and over again to breathe out the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and performing the Great Circulation over and over again, converting the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into his own magic power.

So long, boring, and lonely.

Many people just can't stand such long-term loneliness and boredom, so that they have insufficient mana accumulation and their cultivation has stagnated.

Or the efficiency of converting the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into mana is too low, the mana accumulation speed is too slow, and a lot of time is wasted, making it impossible to enter the next realm before the life span is exhausted.

None of these problems existed for Liu Qinghuan. What he lacked was time.

Now that he finally has time, the flow rate of time inside and outside the country is thirty times different. He no longer has to worry about the earth-shattering changes happening in the outside world if he stays in seclusion for too long.

Firefly lamps were hung on the lamp stands, and their hazy light dispelled the darkness.

The Shennong Cauldron was placed in the corner of the cave, with smoke curling up and the fragrance of medicine overflowing.

There is a table against the wall, with several books spread out on the table. To the left is the Wanmu Zhengrong nectar bottle that has not been seen for a long time. At this time, it is used as a vase, with a half-opened white lotus inserted.

The only sound came from the purple golden fairy gourd. The pleasant tinkling sound of spring water was not noisy. Wisps of fairy energy floated out from the mouth of the gourd, and as if being attracted, they all got into the body of the person meditating next to him.

I don’t know how long it took, it could be one day, or it could be ten years, but the meditating person finally ended his trance and opened his eyes.

In an instant, the abyss-like atmosphere in the cave disappeared silently. The Shennong Cauldron blew out a few puffs of smoke, and the white lotus inserted in the ten thousand wooden vase also bloomed reservedly when Liu Qinghuan's eyes glanced over it.

Liu Qinghuan stretched and sat there for a while before getting up from the futon.

First, he walked to the Shennong Cauldron to check. The elixir being refined in the cauldron was a prescription he had recently figured out. It was still in the trial stage, and he didn't know if it would work.

Opening the lid of the cauldron, you can see that the medicinal liquid in the cauldron is in a semi-solidified state, but the color is a bit weird, it is a yellowish green color with a hint of soot.

"Failed?"

Liu Qinghuan thought for a moment, picked up the spiritual materials that had been prepared on the side, and reduced some of the crystalline powder, then added the remaining materials to the Shennong Cauldron and sealed the lid again.

After doing this, he cast his tactics and turned around to enter the Songxi Cave Heaven Map.

Liu Qinghuan thought about this for a long time:

The ability to open the Songxi Cave Sky Map in Time Die meant that this realm was indeed not a secret realm where space was locked, but what he still didn't understand was why a real dragon appeared in this realm.

Everything in the cave is as usual. Looking out from Daqing Mountain, the sun and moon alternate, white clouds and gray dogs form a world of their own.

Happy laughter came from the bottom of the mountain. It was Chu Yi who was leading the baby and Wutong'er to play by the lake, while several girls from the Shui Xiu tribe were weaving flowers and blues next to them.

Looking at their carefree smiles, it feels like the years are peaceful and there is no trouble in the world.

Liu Qinghuan smiled, withdrew his gaze, and turned around to check out some fairy medicine plants in the spiritual field.

He had collected the fully grown Qiankun Bamboo before, and the Amethyst Immortal Tree was still in the stage of stopping its growth because he had not yet found the Cicada Cangyun.

However, the Mysterious Thunder Branch has now fully grown. Liu Qinghuan broke off the hard branch wrapped with thunder and lightning on the branch. With a little refinement, he can use it to summon the Nine Heavens Mysterious Thunder to come.

I poured green wood energy into the avenue tree, and then went to see the condition of the fairy gourd vine.

There are two gourds hanging on the branches, the dark green one is already two palms long, and the sapphire blue one has just grown fruit not long ago, and now it has doubled in size.

We then took another route to the top of the mountain. The Amara fruit was still the same, but the twelve-grade Hunyuan lotus in the lake had fully grown, and it was time to pick it.

Liu Qinghuan carefully stored it in a jade box, preparing to refine it into a magical weapon when he had time.

The other Hunyuan Lotus in the lake only grew about two hundred years ago and is still a small bud at this time.

But unlike the previous light cyan Hunyuan Lotus, this one is darker in color, and its petals gradually show a gorgeous gold edge.

Liu Qinghuan touched his chin, looking forward to how this Hunyuan Lotus would eventually grow. Maybe it could break through the twelfth grade and reach the twenty-fourth grade?

…

After inspecting all the medicinal fields on Daqing Mountain, he turned around and left the cave. However, he had no intention of continuing to practice. Instead, he changed his appearance and walked out of the cave.

He had no intention of continuing to practice, but changed his appearance and walked out of the cave.

Outside the cave is a forest with deep woods and dense grass. As far as the eye can see, there is a patch of green of different shades, and no one is around within a thousand miles.

After checking around the area to make sure there were no recent signs of intrusion, they came to an open river valley.

The big river that winds through the mountain jungle is not wide, but it is very deep, because the upper reaches of the river are continuous snow-capped mountains, and sometimes there are broken ice flowing down the river.

Liu Qinghuan simply set up a covering circle on the river beach, chose a large stone, sat cross-legged, and took out a wooden box from his sleeve.

When you open it, you will find in the box a fairy grass that is half a foot long, has teeth and claws, and looks like a black dragon.

Dragon-turned-grass grows next to the true dragon's lair. It is born from the dragon's energy, absorbs the dragon's power and grows, and can be transformed into a true dragon's body by eating it.

When he saw the mother and son of a real dragon before, Liu Qinghuan thought of the dragon-changing grass that he got from Shenjun Guili Dongfu.

There is a real dragon in this realm. If he can also transform into his true body, maybe he will be able to fight against the opponent?

At least I don't have to run away thousands of miles in frustration.

Thinking of this, Liu Qinghuan took out the Dragon Transformation Grass without any hesitation. As soon as he brought it to his mouth, the grass twisted its stem and slipped into his mouth.

He was stunned for a moment, only to feel something slipping down his throat, and then he felt a majestic force suddenly explode in his body!

That power was so huge and full of cruelty that destroyed everything. For a moment, Liu Qinghuan was completely filled with this terrifying power. The clarity in his eyes was quickly annihilated, and even the whites of his eyes were covered in an abyss-like endless black. cover.

Fortunately, he regained his consciousness quickly, but found that he had fallen to the ground, rolled countless times on the river beach, and his body was covered with sand.

Bangs and bangs kept coming from his body, as if a ferocious beast was imprisoned in his body, trying to break his ribs and escape from it.

Liu Qinghuan roared and punched the ground hard, causing a large river beach to sink in an instant, and the icy-cold river water poured in violently.

At the same time, his body began to change. His arms became thicker and thicker and soon burst through his clothes. Black dragon scales grew on the backs of his hands. His scalp also felt severe pain, and two dragon horns took shape.

The peace of the mountain forest was broken. On this day, the birds and beasts living in the mountains suddenly heard the roar of dragons, and they were so frightened that they fled in droves.

This chaos lasted for less than half an hour. Finally, the roar of the dragon stopped, but at the next moment, a huge black dragon flew up from the mountain forest and rushed straight into the sky!
