Lonely Immortal

It turned out that Li Mohuan had come here without knowing when.

"Hello, uncle..."

Wang Kun and others were terrified and saluted hurriedly.

Li Mohuan did not even look at Wang Kun and others. Not to mention the apprentices in the medicine hall, he was too lazy to pay attention to even the apprentices in the martial arts hall. He might even take a look at the gray-clothed guards.

Li Mohuan did not speak, but came in front of Zhang Zhiwen, and suddenly, he made a move.

With a clang, a stream of sword energy cut through the air and pointed directly at Zhang Zhiwen's throat.

Wang Kun and others exclaimed in surprise. They did not expect Li Mohuan to make a move without saying a word. It seemed that this sword was going to kill Zhang Zhiwen on the spot.

But the sword energy suddenly stopped, and the sword body slowly appeared. The long sword was more than three feet long, and the cold light flashed, and it stopped less than an inch in front of Zhang Zhiwen's throat, and Zhang Zhiwen's throat was not hurt at all.

This kind of sword energy that can be sent and received freely has reached the realm of perfection.

"Why don't you hide?"

Li Mohuan stared at Zhang Zhiwen coldly.

Zhang Zhiwen looked at the tip of the sword, then took a step back slightly, then clasped his fists and said, "I don't have any martial arts skills, what's the difference between retreating and not retreating?"

Li Mohuan stared at Zhang Zhiwen, as if trying to see a clue, but unfortunately, Zhang Zhiwen had almost no expression, neither afraid nor ostentatious, and looked like a newborn calf who was not afraid of death.

After a long while, Li Mohuan put away his sword, and then turned away without saying anything more.

Zhang Zhiwen watched him leave, and didn't say anything, just clasped his fists again, and then turned away.

Just now, he felt that he could dodge the sword calmly, and even counterattack.

In his eyes, Li Mohuan's sword had at least three flaws, so he had at least nine ways to crack it, but he chose not to dodge, because he didn't want to expose anything, even if he could beat Li Mohuan, so what? At that time, it would inevitably cause trouble, because he had only been a member for less than a month, and in this month, he actually improved so fast?

Furthermore, he only had a way to crack it, and he was not sure whether he could beat the other party. Even Li Mohuan was like this, how could he deal with the other hall masters, elders and presidents of the Chamber of Commerce now?

So he was still not qualified to show off now. As long as his strength was sufficient, there would be no need to say more at that time.

But he became more and more curious. What kind of practice is this Changsheng Sutra? Why is the first level so powerful? Could it be that this is really the practice of the legendary immortals? He thought about it and planned to go to the warehouse again, maybe he could find something.

So he came to the warehouse again. There were still few people here. Anyway, almost no one cared about the books here.

He went in to search. Anyway, there were many wild histories here.

After searching for a while, he really found something. This is a miscellaneous note called Fangwaizhai, which mentioned the rumors of immortals practicing.

But this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that Zhang Zhiwen saw that it actually mentioned the word "refining qi".

Although the book is also vague, Zhang Zhiwen generally understands that the so-called Qi refining is a Taoist method of cultivation. It is completely different from martial arts. Martial arts is to cultivate internal strength. The so-called internal strength is actually a kind of acquired true qi, which is stimulated by the physical body. When this acquired true qi is cultivated to a certain level, the practitioner will feel the unity of heaven and earth, and then produce innate true qi. There are very few practitioners who can produce the induction of the unity of heaven and man, which is equivalent to the peerless masters in the world.

But Qi refining is different. It directly seizes the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and does not need the physical body to stimulate it. This is quite domineering. It directly skips the perception of the unity of heaven and man and directly enters the innate realm.

Then, when Qi refining is complete, you can build a foundation.

The so-called foundation building is naturally stepping into the door of immortals and having the foundation of immortality, so it is called foundation building.

But the book also said that the road to cultivating immortals is extremely dangerous. If you are not careful, your soul will be destroyed.

Simply put, once the cultivation fails, it is very likely that there will be no chance to reincarnate as a human again, because this is to seize the fortune of heaven and earth, and it is against heaven.

Therefore, Zhang Zhiwen is also mixed with joy and sorrow.

The joy is that he actually stepped into the immortal path in a confused state, but the worry is that the immortal path is dangerous and the road is bumpy. After death, the soul will be destroyed and there will be no salvation forever.

Apart from other things, he has already felt the difficulty of cultivating immortals. For example, when he practiced the longevity heart art before, although he practiced the general chapter, when he entered the first level, if he did not get the green fruit, he would probably spend decades to make some progress. And reaching the first level seems to be only about the same as the top masters like Li Mohuan, and it is still far from the peerless masters.

And after decades, most of a person's life span has gone, and at most he can reach the second level of Qi Refining. What about the second level? By then, he will be very old. Once he dies, his soul will be destroyed and he will not be able to be reborn.

This is the price of going against heaven!

However, Zhang Zhiwen soon stopped thinking about it, because even if he was going to die, that would be decades later. At least now he knew that the breath in his body was spiritual energy.

If you want to improve your spiritual energy, you must find something with spiritual energy, and the green fruit is something with spiritual energy.

Of course, the Changsheng Sutra also records some prescriptions, and those prescriptions can also refine some spiritual pills, but he can't find those spiritual medicines at all now, and cultivating spiritual medicines requires a lot of spiritual soil. The most urgent task now is to find that kind of soil as soon as possible.

But where can I find that kind of spiritual soil? The world is so big that finding this kind of spiritual soil is no different than finding a needle in a haystack.

Zhang Zhiwen had no clue for a while, but at this time, the old man sweeping the floor came again. When he saw Zhang Zhiwen, the old man started talking again: "Why is there another baby here to waste time?"

Zhang Zhiwen was a little surprised. Has this old man forgotten him?

Sure enough, the old man swept the floor with a broom and shook his head: "Oh, I said you are the same as a kid. There is nothing here. If you want to practice martial arts, go to the library."

Hearing this, Zhang Zhiwen couldn't help but ask: "Uncle, do you know where I can find some spiritual soil?"

"Spiritual soil?"

The old man was surprised, then glanced at Zhang Zhiwen and smiled bitterly: "There is no spiritual soil, the mortal world has long been abandoned, but if you are looking for some spiritual things, you can go outside and look, such as some treasure pavilions, which say There may be something spiritual hidden there.”

When Zhang Zhiwen said this, he suddenly realized that those treasure pavilions might actually have some spiritual things. As long as they have spiritual energy, wouldn't that be enough?

Although Zhang Zhiwen is not sure, it is better than having no clue.

At this point, he felt more and more that the path to becoming an immortal was very difficult, especially for someone like him who didn't know anything. He was like a headless fly and could only try his luck everywhere.

"Thank you, uncle." Zhang Zhiwen clasped his fists at the old man and turned to leave.

The old man stopped and looked at Zhang Zhiwen's retreating back. His eyes suddenly brightened. His rickety body no longer stood up, but straightened up. Then, he stroked his beard thoughtfully: "This kid , is it possible to really cultivate into the Immortality Sutra?”

But soon he shook his head and laughed at himself: "I can't do it in my whole life, but he can do it with a doll? Alas, I am old, and it is useless after all. My brain is not working well..."

With that said, he lowered his body and started sweeping the floor again.

Zhang Zhiwen left the Chamber of Commerce and came to the streets of the county town.

There are no fewer than dozens of large and small treasure pavilions in Wuping County, most of which are owned by the Chamber of Commerce. He will not go to the Chamber of Commerce’s treasure pavilion, otherwise it will easily attract the attention of others.

There were only some small treasure pavilions left. Zhang Zhiwen chose a fairly good one called Mingzhu Pavilion, and he walked in.

The maid of the Mingzhu Building saw Zhang Zhiwen, who was dressed in linen, coming in. She was stunned for a moment, and then immediately came over to greet her. She said enthusiastically: "This little brother, what do you need? Our jewelry and Mingyu are all from far and near. Famous and affordable, look at this..."

The maid kept selling things next to him, Zhang Zhiwen said nothing. He rarely came to this kind of place, it was basically impossible to come here before, and this time he came here not to buy anything, he only had ten silver leaves on him, so he didn't come here at all. He couldn't afford it, so he just wanted to see if there were any spiritual things.

But obviously, after going around for a while, he didn't find anything with spiritual energy, so he turned around and left.

"Hey, brother, don't leave in a hurry..."

The maid was a little anxious when she saw Zhang Zhiwen leaving without saying a word, "If you're not satisfied here, there's more inside!"

Zhang Zhiwen stopped when he heard this: "Is there anything else in there?"

"That's natural. How can you just put good things outside casually? By the way, I'm a disciple of the Chamber of Commerce?" The maid saw that Zhang Zhiwen hadn't left, and she immediately became happy again. In her opinion, Zhang Zhiwen was a disciple of the Chamber of Commerce, and this was a big customer. .

Zhang Zhiwen didn't hide it either. There was no need to hide this kind of thing, so he nodded: "Yes, that's right."

"That little brother has come to the right place. Even though the Zhenbao Pavilion of your Chamber of Commerce is very wealthy, your Chamber of Commerce may not have what we have in the Pearl Tower. If you don't believe it, just follow me."

The maid took Zhang Zhiwen's arm and walked inside.

Zhang Zhiwen pulled away slightly. He was not used to being too close to this woman. It wasn't that he had any quirks, it was just that he was used to keeping a certain safe distance from others.

The maid didn't care when she saw him like this. She thought it was because Zhang Zhiwen was young, low-profile and shy.

But Zhang Zhiwen had seen so many disheveled women. Those women would sell anything just for a bite to eat. So what is a mere maid?

Soon, led by the maid, he came to the back hall.

The place is not big, just the size of a small room. There are several sandalwood tables placed around the wall. There are some special jade and jewelry on the tables.

Zhang Zhiwen looked at them one by one, but it was difficult to see any difference for a while. He walked closer and reached out to touch it. The jade article had no aura at all.
