Longevity starts with learning

"That's..."

Chu Mu hurriedly groped around in his arms, and immediately held a local map in his hands.

Yuhuang Mountain, the sister mountain of Yuzhu Mountain, is on the opposite side, but the location where the light appeared just now is far away from him.

As far as the naked eye can see, there are at least one or two hundred miles of mountain road!

Without any hesitation, Chu Mu ran straight down the mountain along the traces of his run.

"The spiritual energy...is it a little stronger?"

After running for hundreds of miles and reaching the deep mountains, Chu Mu's eyes became brighter and the worry about gain and loss in his heart became more intense.

After crossing three more mountains, it was at least another hundred miles. In Chu Mu's spiritual perception, the spiritual energy seemed to be a little richer.

But his distance estimate was obviously wrong. Wangshan was still far away from him.

Still running, at sunset, the mountain peak that Chu Mu regarded as the end point finally appeared in front of him.

"What a rich aura..."

Chu Mu breathed greedily. If compared, the spiritual energy in this mountain was at least twice as rich as what he felt in the secular world!

With such rich spiritual energy, Chu Mu would never believe that there were no immortal cultivators.

What I don’t know now is whether this cultivator is an individual, a force, or a gathering place from all directions.

Chu Mu took a deep breath, suppressed the worries in his heart, and relaxed his consciousness, searching the area carefully.

After walking for less than a quarter of an hour, Chu Mu's steps suddenly stopped.

Along with this change, Chu Mu's demeanor also suddenly stiffened.

Chu Mu took a few steps back and saw with the naked eye a straight and steep cliff in front of him.

But in the perception of spiritual consciousness, the sight is flat.

"Illusion...illusion array?"

Chu Mu frowned, tentatively approached, let go of his consciousness, and left tentatively again.

After the god appeared, he conducted countless experiments.

The most important of them is the test of spiritual consciousness.

The divine consciousness is mysterious, covering all directions without blind spots. At the beginning of the divine appearance, its covering range was more than ten centimeters in a radius of nine meters around him.

And with the following months of pondering, or perhaps subtle tempering, now, the coverage range has increased by nearly fifty centimeters.

With him as the center, with a radius of nearly ten meters, every detail is visible, and everything is under control!

Of course, this is when there are no obstacles. Divine consciousness can ignore worldly material perspective, but there will be certain obstacles.

For example, when he peeked into the ground, he could only go down about one meter, but then he was too weak to peek any further.

The magic can be observed without any blind spots, and at the same time, like human sight, it can shrink the spiritual consciousness of other parties and focus on one side. In this case, the distance from which the spiritual consciousness can see is doubled.

A condensed straight line of sight can reach a distance of nearly forty meters!

At this moment, his spiritual consciousness was condensed and concentrated, and he probed into the cliff in front of him.

What came into mind with his spiritual consciousness was a deep canyon with no end in sight even from a distance of forty meters.

After careful investigation, Chu Mu withdrew his consciousness. Standing in front of the cliff, he slowly reached out and tentatively reached towards the cliff.

Without the slightest feeling of contact, the arm slowly sank into the cliff. At first glance, it seemed as if the entire arm was embedded in the cliff, which was extremely weird.

"What a magical illusion array!"

Chu Mu was amazed!

It simulates reality, and it is a whole mountain. Such a huge simulation, to the naked eye, there is no flaw. Even when you put your hand in, there is no fluctuation at all, as if your hand is really embedded in the cliff.

It is so miraculous. If the technical principles were clear, in the previous life, it would have been an invention that transcended the times and would undoubtedly shock the world!

Right now, it was sitting in front of him so unremarkable. According to the description in the inheritance of puppetry, this kind of illusory formation was definitely ordinary in the world of immortality.

After testing for a moment, Chu Mu did not hesitate anymore, took a step forward, and plunged directly into the "cliff".

There is no abnormality at the level of physical perception, it is just like taking a normal step, there is no difference.

However, what you can see with the naked eye has changed from a cliff to a deep canyon.

When he turned around to look, he saw that he was surrounded by mountains, and the cliffs he had just seen with the naked eye were no longer there.

Chu Mu took a step back, and the cliff appeared in front of him again. He took another step, turned back, and the cliff disappeared again.

After thinking silently for a moment, Chu Mu slowly moved forward along the deep canyon in front of him.

Chu Mu was very vigilant, with energy surging around his body, as if he was ready to go.

The canyon looks very long, but in fact, it only takes a moment to reach the end of the canyon.

When Chu Mu walked out of the canyon, the original silence seemed to completely dissipate as he stepped out of the canyon.

What came into view was no longer the mountains seen in the canyon, but a huge valley, covering an area of ​​at least several hundred acres.

The sound of the waterfall was like thunder, pouring down from the cliff at the end of the valley. The water turned into a stream, dividing the entire valley into two, and finally flowed into the lake not far in front of Chu Mu.

On both sides of the creek, houses are arranged in an orderly manner, stretching from the end of the valley to all sides of the lake.

Above the valley, a light shield with faint runes was clearly visible, covering the entire valley.

Scene after scene appeared in his field of vision, and Chu Mu's breathing became a little rapid.

He pretended to be calm and looked at the... town in front of him casually?

Looking from his direction, it was clear that the town was bustling with people, and there were even flashes of spiritual lights from time to time.

Obviously, everything seen shows that this "small town" is not an ordinary place.

He had imagined this scene before him many times.

But when it was really put in front of him, he felt at a loss.

Now... what should he do?

He stared at the exit of the valley in a daze, and the hesitation he felt when he first crossed over appeared in Chu Mu's mind again.

"Is this your first time here as a newcomer?"

The voice beside him sounded slowly, and Chu Mu's hesitation disappeared, and he became alert for a moment.

Immediately, I saw a table set aside, and a young man was sitting lazily behind the table, looking drowsy, and the voice rang again.

"According to the regulations of the Jade Emperor Valley, if the spirit appears and has not reached the Qi-training state, entry into the valley is free and you can move around normally in the valley, but you are not allowed to stay overnight in the valley."

"Unless you rent a house in the valley or get a license, if you are caught, you will have to live in the pit for three years."

"Also, private fighting is strictly prohibited in the valley. Anyone who offends will have his soul taken away and a lamp lit!"

"Rest of all, there is nothing to say. If you are lucky enough to step into the realm of Qi training, you will know what you should know..."

"Wear this. When the time comes, I will remind you."

"If you don't understand something, don't ask me, go find out for yourself!"

The man threw a ring over and ignored Chu Mu. He squinted his eyes and seemed to fall asleep again.

Chu Mu took the ring, glanced at the man, held the ring in his hand, and ultimately did not put it on.

Without any further hesitation, he walked along the lakeside path towards the town not far away.

The lake occupies a large area. In addition to the houses stretching from the other side of the lake to the end of the valley, there are also houses scattered around the lake.

The street surrounds the lake, and there are ordinary houses on both sides, but if you look closely, you can see a little bit of light shining on the wooden doors of the walls of the houses.

Even though the sky was dark, this flickering light was still very conspicuous.

There are lamps hanging high under the eaves of the streets.

The lamp is obviously not illuminated by candlelight, but seems to be made of bronze. Mist white jade is inlaid around the lamp and at the bottom. A faint white fluorescent light flickers, soft but bright.

Although the sky was dark, under the illumination of the lamps, the street could be seen clearly.

Most of the doors on both sides of the street were closed, and there were not many pedestrians on the street. The few people I saw occasionally were walking in a hurry. As for Chu Mu, an outsider, no one seemed to care at all.

Chu Mu's heart gradually relaxed while walking.

It wasn't until we got closer to the valley on the other side of the lake that the flow of people on the street became noticeably more numerous.

The circle of houses along the lake is obviously not the main area of ​​the valley. The valley on the inside of the lake is the central area of ​​this small town in the world of immortality.

Chu Mu did not move forward, but walked to the street and silently observed this small town in the world of immortality.

There are two streets, running parallel to the creek, from the big lake to the end of the valley.

On both sides of the street, there are pavements of different heights.

The streets are bustling with pedestrians, lively... and noisy.

The layout is not much different from that of a secular town.

But every scene he saw in front of him was broadening Chu Mu's knowledge.

Right in front of him was a three-story attic. The style of the attic was not much different from the ordinary.

But the signboard on the door eaves is glowing with light fluorescence, and the three words "Huichun Pavilion" are very conspicuous under the night.

The counter inside the shop was flashing, runes were flowing, and each jade bottle was shrouded in it. It was obviously protected by some kind of rune restriction.

On one side of the gate, there is a... screen about half a person's height?

Chu Mu was not sure, but it was really not much different from the display screen in his previous life. The metal frame and the flickering screen were obviously some kind of immortal creation.

The fonts flowing on the screen seemed to be a price list, marking the prices of the items sold in Huichun Pavilion on the screen.

At the bottom of the screen...

What did he see?

Huichun Pavilion has been recruiting Qi-training realm apprentices for a long time to cooperate with...test medicine? Monthly salary negotiable?

The corner of Chu Mu's mouth twitched slightly, and he turned his eyes to look at other shops.

The streets are bustling with people, and they are dressed in a variety of ways.

There are those with disheveled hair who look like beggars, there are also those who are richly dressed, like young men from rich families, there are also scantily clad women with enchanting looks and...men...

Most of them were carrying or holding the same variety of weapons. What's more, they were even wearing creations like mechas in previous lives. They were walking on the street with a bang, and the passers-by hurriedly avoided them. Visibly in awe.

But without exception, Chu Mu's feeling was very clear.

Everyone in front of him, no matter how inconspicuous, was definitely better than him.

Everyone... is a cultivator!
