Immortal Path Evergreen

Nanyazhou, Lushan, Yu State.

Lushan is high and densely forested, surrounded by clouds and mist, and full of flying birds. It is one of the most famous holy places of immortals in Taicheng County, Yu State.

This mountain range stretches over 3,000 miles and is the largest sacred mountain in the three southeastern counties of Yu State.

The mountain is rich in spiritual energy and is full of various rare and hard-to-find immortal medicines.

Even the immortal birds and beasts that are rarely seen in the mortal world are bred in this immortal spiritual mountain, adding a bit of fireworks to this desolate and remote immortal mountain spiritual land.

On Lushan, the peak with the most abundant spiritual energy is Tiantai Peak.

This peak is more than 3,000 feet high. There is a spirit protection formation on the mountain to lock the spirit. It has cultivated a third-level spiritual vein, and the spiritual energy is far more abundant than outside the mountain.

A cultivator family lives on Tiantai Peak, which is the overlord of the nearby Lushan.

Zhang Zhixuan sat upright under the Moon-Watching Pavilion, a spiritual spring continuously emitting streams of white spiritual energy, and a stream of green light gathered the spiritual energy and gathered it on the stone platform three feet above the spiritual spring.

On the stone platform was placed an old futon, which exuded streams of cool air, making people feel pure and abstinent.

Zhang Zhixuan sat upright on the futon, calmly practicing the spiritual formula, his chest rising and falling, and a three-foot-long icy air constantly spurting out of his mouth.

His face was blue and white, and the blue and white air kept changing, gradually gathering on the three major acupoints of Shenting, Meichong, and Chengguang on the top of his head, turning into streams of purple and blue clouds, floating into the sea of ​​clouds.

Zhang Zhixuan smiled in his heart. Today he was practicing beside the spiritual spring, and his heart was throbbing, so he couldn't help but use the abundant spiritual energy in the spiritual spring to break through the gate of the world.

His practice went smoothly this time. Although he spent a lot of effort, he still broke through the gate of the world safely.

Although Zhang Zhixuan has opened the gate of the mysterious world now, he still needs to slowly warm up his true essence.

If he is not careful, all his previous efforts may be wasted, and his cultivation will be greatly damaged, and even his meridians will be damaged.

If the acupoints are blocked again, it will be more difficult to open them next time.

"The purple qi rushing into the acupoints must be a person with a deep foundation. Xuan'er has such a vision, and he must be able to successfully build a foundation. In another ten years, the family may have to add another foundation-building elder."

The person who spoke was a middle-aged Taoist priest. He was wearing a green Taoist robe and looked a bit like an immortal. He was walking towards the Moon-Watching Pavilion step by step.

Zhang Zhixuan closed his eyes and knew that it was his seventeenth uncle Zhang Menglan who came just by hearing the voice.

The Zhang family has moved to Lushan for more than four hundred years. After three generations of cultivators, they have cultivated a third-level lower-grade spiritual vein on Tiantai Peak, which is enough for three foundation-building cultivators to practice.

The cultivation of cultivators is divided into nine realms: Xiantian, Qi training, foundation building, purple mansion, Jindan, Yuanying, Yuanshen, returning to the void, and Hedao, also known as the nine grades of seeking the Tao.

In this world of cultivation, cultivating Yuanshen can ascend to the upper realm and become an enviable immortal.

If cultivators want to practice, it is best to practice in the spirit veins, otherwise they will not be able to absorb sufficient spiritual energy, their mana will gradually decrease, their bodies will slowly decay, and finally transform into mortals.

For example, foundation-building cultivators must practice in spirit veins above level three to improve their mana and increase their cultivation. If they practice in low-level spirit veins, the spiritual energy will be insufficient, and they can only refine spirit stones every day, consuming a lot of cultivation resources.

A third-level low-grade spirit vein is generally enough for three cultivators in the early stage of foundation building to practice.

The same is true for Jindan and Yuanying cultivators. Yuanshen cultivators must enter the cave paradise to practice.

There is no cave paradise in the lower realm, so Yuanshen cultivators cannot stay in the lower realm for a long time and must find a way to ascend as soon as possible.

The Zhang family now has only one cultivator in the foundation-building stage, the clan leader Zhang Leqian.

Zhang Leqian had already established his foundation a century ago, but unfortunately he was injured in a fight with others thirty years ago. Not only did his cultivation decline greatly, but even his dantian was damaged. He could no longer fight with others easily, and could only sit by the spiritual spring every day to survive and recover his vitality.

Because the clan leader was seriously injured, the prestige of the Zhang family has been greatly reduced in the past thirty years, and the sphere of influence has also declined seriously.

Their shops in the market have been reduced from twenty-four to eight.

Even the second third-level spiritual vein Jiuhua Mountain, which they occupied two hundred years ago, has long been handed over to others.

Most of the clan members retreated to the ancestral land Lushan, and gathered with the seriously injured clan leader for warmth, barely maintaining the dignity of a foundation-building family.

If no one in the family builds a foundation in the next sixty years, once the clan leader passes away, they may not even be able to keep the ancestral spiritual vein.

The family will also be on the verge of a disaster. Even if someone can barely survive, I am afraid they will become the most helpless casual cultivator in the world of immortal cultivation.

There are three spiritual springs on the third-grade lower-grade spiritual vein of Tiantai Peak that can be used for cultivation, and there is a spring under the Moon-Watching Pavilion.

Although the spiritual springs are constantly gushing spiritual energy, any spiritual spring cannot be used for a long time.

If the spiritual spring is overused and damaged, it will cause the spiritual spring to dry up, and it will take a lot of manpower and material resources to restore it, which is obviously not worth the loss.

In addition to the spiritual spring occupied by the clan leader Zhang Leqian, the remaining two spiritual springs are used to support the cultivation of more than a hundred cultivators in the family.

Therefore, each spiritual spring must be given a rest time. When the spiritual spring is resting, the cultivator will use the formation to collect the spiritual energy and use it to cultivate and nourish the spiritual vein.

The spiritual energy of the spiritual spring under the Moon-Watching Pavilion is relatively sufficient, but it can only be used for six hours a day, and it will take four days to rest after six consecutive days of use.

The Zhang family now has a total of 37 cultivators in the middle and late stages of Qi training. In addition to the five people over 80 years old, there are as many as 32 cultivators in the Qi training period who are qualified to use the spiritual spring for cultivation.

Therefore, in one month, a minor Qi-training monk like Zhang Zhixuan, even if the family rules give him preferential treatment, he can only practice with the spiritual spring three times, which adds up to less than three days.

Seeing Zhang Zhixuan's breakthrough, the middle-aged Taoist priest Zhang Mengqian had a bit of relief on his face, feeling that the family had a successor and gradually returned to its former prosperity.

Zhang Zhixuan gradually faded away the purple and green energy on his face, and while slowly withdrawing his power, he said: "Uncle Seventeen is too praiseworthy. With the current situation of the family, it is extremely difficult to save oneself. It is impossible to provide support for the monks in the clan." Kidan.

Even if my nephew can reach the ninth level of Qi training, without the foundation-building pill, the probability of foundation-building is only one in ten thousand. "

After hearing what Zhang Zhixuan said, the middle-aged Taoist priest sighed and said with a bitter smile: "The matter has come to this, what can be done!

If you want to achieve success on your path, I'm afraid you have to rely more on yourself. "

Zhang Zhixuan said with self-mockery on his face: "Uncle Seventeenth, why are you here?"

The middle-aged Taoist priest said with an unchanging expression: "According to your age, you can still practice at home for two years until you reach the age of eighteen and contribute to the family.

But now the clan is short of manpower. On the orders of my nineteenth brother, I will discuss with you to see if you can come down early and contribute to the clan. "

According to the family's rules, monks do not have to do any chores until they reach adulthood at the age of 18, and can continue to practice in the mountains.

It is not until he reaches adulthood at the age of eighteen that he will come down from the mountain to contribute to the family.

The reason for this stipulation is that before the monks reach the age of eighteen, not only are their cultivation bases weak, but their knowledge, character, and experience are often insufficient. Even if they are forced to leave the mountain, they will not be of much use and they can easily become prey to hostile monks.

Nor is he capable of facing various threats in the world of immortality.

The monks of the Zhang family have always had strict family rules.

Zhang Zhixuan is only sixteen this year and has not yet reached adulthood, so Zhang Mengqian’s tone is very gentle and he does not force him to walk out of the mountain gate.
