Journey To Longevity

Seeing Zhang Shiping looking at him suspiciously, shopkeeper Wei could only smile, "Don't worry, Senior Zhang, this junior will never say anything outrageous, but you also know that a set of Five Elements Absolute God array equipment will cost you two years." Thousands of spirit stones, such precious things are naturally not safe to put in the store. If Senior Zhang really wants it, he only needs to wait for half a day, and I will notify the owner to bring it over. , you can tell the truth at a glance, and I dare not entertain seniors on this."

In the world of cultivating immortals, for the sake of convenience and sales, many formation masters simplified the formations, so there were many more such formations, mainly for the convenience of other immortal cultivators who did not understand formations to arrange formations.

When Zhang Shiping arranges formations, he usually uses formation flags. These formation flags are the simplest formations. Generally, formations with relatively strong power are made into formation plates and utensils to cooperate with each other. He is also aware that the cave-protecting array in the Kunshan Cave Mansion, the Difficult Earth Array, is set up with thirty-six array flags. Because there is no array disk as the center, its power can only be regarded as mediocre. Zhang Shiping had just opened the cave at that time, and he didn't have so many spirit stones on hand, so he just arranged them.

Since the Kunshan Cave Mansion is also in the Zhengyang Sect, no monks from the sect will come to the door for no reason. Zhang Shiping only needs to pay more attention to other people's spiritual sense to check, so he has not changed this difficult formation. And now for the next three years, he will be on duty at the Ice Spirit Stone Mine most of the time. There is a large formation guarding the mine vein, but it is always mixed with people and snakes. I am afraid that it is not as strict as the sect, so he needs to make more preparations earlier.

The Five Elements Absolute God Formation is unique in the world of cultivating immortals in preventing other people's spiritual consciousness from being detected. However, the formation is changeable and the monks whose spiritual consciousness is suppressed and suppressed can't find out the formation method so quickly. The door, it is not so easy to break the formation. Otherwise, how dare you sell thousands of spirit stones just by relying on a formation that isolates your spiritual consciousness.

After Zhang Shiping heard the price, he couldn't help but frown. More than 2,000 spirit stones was not a small amount. He also wanted to buy some pills for cultivating mana that were suitable for foundation-building monks. With the help of the bronze lamp, his suitable cultivation speed in the Qi refining period is very fast, almost one level can be said to be raised in one year, but it has been almost eight years since the establishment of the foundation, although he still practiced for a period of time in the middle. The qi stage skill "Qingxuan Yuhuojue", but its cultivation speed is not slower than that in the qi refining stage, so he is only on the second floor of the foundation building, and there is still a distance from the third floor of the foundation building.

The most important reason is that a foundation-building cultivator needs too much mana to upgrade to one level, and after reaching the bottleneck of cultivation, if he does not break through, his mana will be restricted and he will not be able to improve. When the old age is approaching, the monk's dantian shrinks, and there is no hope of breakthrough at that time.

Otherwise, why so many foundation-building monks have practiced for decades or hundreds of years, but there are still only monks with the third and sixth floors of the foundation, but they can't break through their own bottlenecks. When Zhang Shiping was cultivating, he felt his bottleneck in the dark. In the middle stage of foundation establishment, Zhang Shiping once asked three other foundation establishment monks in the family about this kind of monk's spiritual awareness, and only got theirs. A wry laugh, but in the end, the resources for practice still couldn't keep up.

Zhang Shiping knew that if he wanted to rely on refining mana to break through the bottleneck, as he did during the Qi training period, then even with the bronze lamp, it would take hundreds of years of hard work to reach the completion of the foundation building period. This cultivation speed is really too slow, so he plans to start purchasing the elixirs for improving mana after he has reached the third level of foundation building. If he took out two or three thousand spirit stones at once, his subsequent practice plan would be disrupted.

In fact, Zhang Shiping himself can refine second-level jade tea pills, but he is no longer in charge of Biyuan Mountain Baicao Garden. There are no ready-made second-level tea tree leaves, and the cost of raw materials has greatly increased, and he is not like those alchemists. Like a master, he can refine a second-order elixir with great confidence.

For Zhang Shiping, the first-order jade tea pill is just tasteless. If the jade tea pill has not reached the second level, then it is of no use to him. If it took him eight or nine days to refine a batch of second-tier pills, then he might as well just buy them directly, which would only cost a few more spirit stones and save a lot of time. I earned so many spirit stones, not for practice, if I want to save spirit stones and delay my practice, then I will put the cart before the horse.

All kinds of thoughts flashed through Zhang Shiping's mind, but it took only one or two breaths.

"Senior Zhang, Senior Zhang?" Shopkeeper Wei asked Zhang Shiping with a smile. He saw the thoughtful look in Zhang Shiping's eyes, and it was obvious that he had thought about it.

"I'll think about it again." Zhang Shiping shook his head with a smile. Suddenly he turned his head and looked at the door of the back hall. Three people came out, among them were Chen Qi and Su Shuangl, and another person whose face looked much older. The hairpin was tied up with a wooden hairpin, and he was wearing a gray cloth robe, especially the three bags hanging on his chest, on which a few simple strokes were drawn with a brush, and the blue bird jumped on the bag, which was very conspicuous.

"Senior Brother Chen, Junior Brother Su." Zhang Shiping said hello first when he saw the person. Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping were about the same age, and Zhang Shiping's cultivation level was higher than Su Shuang's. The address between them has gradually changed from fellow daoist to senior brother and junior brother, which can be regarded as getting closer.

Su Shuang naturally smiled at Zhang Shiping, "Senior Brother Zhang, you can make Brother Chen wait with me."

"There are still some things in the Zongmen that have been delayed. I feel really sorry for making my brothers and sisters wait for so long in vain." Zhang Shiping clasped his fists at Chen Qi and Su Shuang as his apology. The old man in the base period, "Zhengyang Zong also met Zhang Shiping in Kunshan."

"Come on, let me introduce you." Chen Qi stood up,

He stood between the two of them, pointing at Zhang Shiping with one hand, "This is the Zhang Shiping brother Zhang I mentioned, a monk who has already built the second floor of the foundation at a young age, and I, a senior brother, am so envious. Brother Zhang, this It is Wei Zhenqi, the elder of the Wei family, a well-known formation master."

When Zhang Shiping heard the word Wei Zhenqi, his eyes lit up. Master Wei's name is very famous. He had heard it from others when he was still in the Zhang family when he was a teenager. He clasped his fists and said, "Zhengyang Zongye Kunshan Zhang Shiping met Master Wei and admired his name for a long time."

"Don't dare, I'm not a great master." Wei Zhenqi smiled and shook his hands, "Wei Zhenqi from the Wei family in Chengfeng Mountain has met Zhang Daoyou."

Chen Qi is now in the middle, introducing with a smile, what he said just now also has a bit of sincerity, especially for Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang who succeeded in building the foundation at a young age, and he is genuinely envious in his heart. Chen Qi was already in his early fifties when he established the foundation, seven or eight years have passed, and he is almost sixty now. Although he has already built the third floor of the foundation, he knows his own affairs.

The reason why Chen Qi was able to cultivate to the third floor of the foundation in only seven or eight years after the foundation was established was because he discovered a real cave left by an ancient monk.
