Mortal Cultivation: Start with a Chaos Talisman

The so-called practice is not only about improving the cultivation level, but also about opening the mind and leaping the mind.

Although Xu Changan has not experienced the ways of the world, he is now at the third level of the Qi Refining Stage, and his mind has long been opened, so when he saw the treasure map for the first time, he knew there was something wrong.

Let alone why such an important treasure map appeared in an ordinary jade slip.

Even if the treasure map is in the jade slip, this thing is so precious that even if the stall owner is a pig, it is impossible to mix the treasure map with the pill formula for sale.

The purpose of the stall owner is obvious.

First: cheating people, taking advantage of people's greedy nature, selling a fake treasure map, and earning ten spirit stones if you can cheat ten spirit stones.

Second: fishing, ambush at the place indicated by the treasure map in advance, and wait for the cultivator with the treasure map to arrive at the treasure location, and kill him with one strike, killing him and taking the treasure.

However, Xu Changan has no way to determine whether it is the first or the second.

But you can try it.

"Fellow Daoist, how much does this recipe for Peiyuan Pill cost?" Xu Changan asked about the recipe for Peiyuan Pill again.

This recipe is fine. It not only records the main ingredients of Peiyuan Pill, but also includes how to refine it, the order of adding medicines during the refining process, precautions, etc. This thing cannot be made up, it can only be real.

"Uh..." the stall owner said, "This is twenty spirit stones!"

"What about the spirit herbs?" Xu Changan pointed his finger at the spirit herbs on the stall owner's stall again: "I want some of the nine-leaf grass, Rehmannia root, Guyuan fruit and strange chrysanthemum!"

The stall owner had not reacted at this time, but just quoted the normal price, saying: "These four spirit herbs are the materials for refining Guyuan pills, and one set costs 30 spirit stones."

Xu Changan said: "I want ten sets of Guyuan pill materials and these two pill recipes. Is a total of 100 spirit stones okay?"

The stall owner immediately glared at Xu Changan: "The materials for the pill alone cost me 300 spirit stones, and you will give me 100 for all?"

Xu Changan smiled and said: "Yes, I only have more than 200 spirit stones, and the remaining more than 100 have other uses. I can take out 100. If you want to sell, sell it. If you don't want to sell, forget it!"

His attitude was very firm, and he didn't add a single piece.

The stall owner narrowed his eyes slightly and his pupils shrank.

That's right, he was deliberately fishing for Xu Changan. He just got a piece of news from his companions: this guy not only has more than 200 spiritual stones, a storage bag, but also some good talismans on him.

So, the stall owner was waiting for Xu Changan here, specifically for the fish.

But now the price Xu Changan offered made him a little bit in a dilemma.

Sell it or not?

If he sells it, he will definitely lose a lot, at least 200 spiritual stones; but if he doesn't sell it, he won't be able to catch any fish!

Looking at his stall, and then at the country bumpkin's breath on Xu Changan, the stall owner's face changed several times, and finally made up his mind and said: "Okay... I'll sell it!"

The moment he said sell it, Xu Changan was sure: this guy, is fishing!

He took out a hundred spiritual stones and threw them to the stall owner, then left with the things he bought. Just less than ten steps away, Xu Changan took out the jade slip of the treasure map and threw it into the trash can on the side of the road.

What Xu Changan didn't know was that within three breaths after he had just thrown the treasure map away, a bearded man carrying a big knife picked it up and returned to the stall.

"Brother, what should we do?" the stall owner asked the bearded man.

The bearded man's face was dark: "Damn, this grandson threw away the treasure map. It seems that he has seen through our plan!"

"What?" The stall owner was so angry that he almost vomited blood, and said: "This bastard took advantage of us for more than 200 spirit stones, and just let him go?"

"Don't worry!" The bearded man said: "He can't leave. I saw him enter an inn just now. We just need to wait quietly. At worst, we can wait until the trade fair is over. I don't believe he won't come out?"

...

"One low-grade spirit stone a day is really not expensive!" In the inn, the waiter looked at Xu Changan and said incessantly: "You can stay in our inn "Practice well here, and we will provide you with three meals a day, all of which are delicacies that only emperors can enjoy!"

"Also, within the specified time, you can also try our alchemy fire and alchemy furnace for free to make elixirs, if you know how to make elixirs!"

Xu Changan threw out two words: "No!"

"Then..." The waiter didn't know how to respond, and could only say embarrassedly: "That's also quite cost-effective!"

Xu Changan took out 10 spiritual stones from his pocket and said: "I want to stay here for 15 days, just 10 spiritual stones. Is it okay? If not, I will go to another place!"

"Okay, okay..."

The waiter happily agreed.

Xu Changan went up to the second floor, came to a super luxurious guest room, closed the door, and then sat cross-legged.

I don't know where to go for the time being, so I'll stay here for a few days.

Taking out the "Cultivation Treasure Book" that he had purchased from the yellow-robed Taoist priest for five spirit stones, Xu Changan began to read it attentively. He did not understand a lot of basic common sense in the world of cultivation, so he had to make up for it, otherwise he would suffer a great loss in the future.

The old Taoist in yellow may have taken advantage of him, but this book is the real deal. As he said, the records above are all-encompassing, from astronomy and geography to local customs and practices, as well as the realm division of cultivators, the characteristics of each realm, and what to pay attention to, etc. There are also some introductions to the sects on this continent, especially those strange and unusual sects. The book describes them in various forms and strangeness.

Xu Changan hid in the house and read with relish for two days, and finally had a glimmer of enlightenment about this mysterious world of cultivation.

At least, if he meets Zhou Fang again now, he will definitely not be the bumpkin he used to be.

However, after reading this treasure book of cultivation, Xu Changan also got a piece of news that made him despair, that is, mixed spiritual roots with all ten systems cannot be cultivated at all.

According to the book, the length of a person's spiritual root is fixed!

For example, the total length is 10!

Then if it is just a single spiritual root, then this single spiritual root is the length of 10 alone.

It means that the cultivator's talent in a certain attribute is full of ten points. This kind of spiritual root is full, and the speed of absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is fast, so the cultivation will be twice as effective with half the effort.

If it is a cultivator with two spiritual roots, then these 10 points of spiritual roots will be divided by two attributes, either equally or unequally, but the qualifications of this cultivator will not be as good as those with single spiritual roots.

By analogy, for a mixed spiritual root like Xu Changan with all ten elements, each attribute only accounts for one.

Although the mixed spiritual root of ten elements can be regarded as a spiritual root that can be cultivated, it is the worst spiritual root in the cultivation world since the beginning of the world. The speed of this kind of spiritual root filtering and absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is so slow that it is outrageous.
