Mystery Makes Me Strong

Afterwards, Wen Rensheng continued to detain Zhang San and others.

Then just keep it closed.

10 years, 20 years...

While being imprisoned, they learned all kinds of knowledge in the cultivation society from their mouths.

From basic cultivation methods, to social forms, cultural customs, cultural characteristics, craftsmanship...

In short, he never rejects all kinds of knowledge, sorting out and distinguishing them one by one.

At the same time, I continued to find people to practice the exercises they said, and finally determined a set of basically correct methods.

Only then did Wen Rensheng begin to try to practice.

As soon as anything goes wrong, stop immediately and run a lot of experiments.

Anyway, he has plenty of time.

However, at the 40th year, the aging Zhang San suddenly told him something.

"I made a mistake and hated it for a hundred years, and when I look back, I'm about to die."

"However, you don't have to be complacent. Do you think it's safe to hide all the time?"

"The green hills are not old pine, every few years, there will be lightning, wind, insects biting and chopping..."

"In another five hundred years, there will be a catastrophe in the entire cultivation world."

"It's called the Golden Core Calamity, and it's a practice calamity that recurs once every thousand years."

"Even if you hide, you won't be able to hide, because when the time comes, the Golden Cores will do everything possible to search for all kinds of treasures, and you, who missed out, will be found by them!"

"Hahaha!"

"Even if you live a few hundred years longer, it will be useless in the end, and you will end up the same as me!"

Wen Rensheng didn't panic after hearing this.

As soon as he heard it, he felt familiar.

This is similar to the 300-year cycle of mortal dynasty cultivation.

I didn't expect that there is a 1000-year cycle in the world of cultivation.

It can only be said that this is the disadvantage of the small peasant economy.

The Xiuxian economy has reached a peak, and if the cycle stops moving, it will burst.

He has read many history books before.

Zhang San didn't come out of nothing, indeed, every thousand years, there would be records of various natural disasters in mortal dynasties.

However, these records are very scattered, and many were burned and banned.

Obviously, Xianmen doesn't want to let mortals know too clearly.

However, with the technical level of mortals in this world, it is still in the feudal Middle Ages, and the records of more than 2,000 years are blurred.

Then he asked: "Why is there a Golden Core Tribulation once every 1,000 years? What exactly is it referring to?"

"Haha, it's very simple. The lifespan of golden elixir is about 1,000 years. Under normal circumstances, people who worship the fairy gate come in batches, and those who can form golden elixir mostly appear in batches. .”

"Every thousand years, when a group of golden elixirs die of old age, before these golden elixirs die, they want to work hard."

"Isn't there still the Yuanying Patriarch?" Wen Rensheng asked casually.

"Hmph, at this time, those ancestors of the Nascent Soul stage will also hide by default and don't care about world affairs."

"Because a self-exploding Golden Core can harm their basic Nascent Soul."

"Under normal circumstances, a hundred golden elixirs would not be able to deal with a Nascent Soul Patriarch, but the golden elixir that has lived for a thousand years, coupled with self-explosion, is enough to make the Nascent Soul Patriarch stay away."

"Then what will the desperate Golden Cores do?" Wen Rensheng asked again.

"This question, you should know, what they did was the same as what I did before."

Zhang San said frantically, "Searching around, looking for all kinds of evil techniques, desperately prolonging life, regardless of everything, destroying humanity, eating his flesh and blood, replenishing his foundation..."

"By that time, you will definitely be the treasured medicine of the world that Jindan people most want and want to grab. You will die a hundred times more miserable than me!"

After Zhang San finished speaking, he tilted his head and died of old age in the cage.

Silently.

A cultivator, a novice, died at the hands of an ordinary, ordinary mortal.

Wen Rensheng understood.

Another 500 years.

It's best for me to be able to break through to the golden core stage.

If you can't break through, then you need to hide yourself deep in the ground like a treasure.

Thanks to the earth, there are too many treasures hidden.

Let the ancients preserve many precious cultural relics for thousands of years under crude technical conditions, and finally show them to the world.

He was indifferent to Zhang San's old age and death.

He just asked the other captured old casual cultivators.

They all said that there is such a situation, a thousand-year catastrophe.

However, the time is not fixed, it may be decades in advance, or it may be delayed by decades.

Hearing what they said, Wen Rensheng confirmed that it was true.

Because this is the same as the 300-year cycle rate, in fact, many dynasties are not so lucky and can last for 300 years.

Mostly because of my own tossing, it has been less than a few decades, and it can exceed 300 years. It is an early dynasty before the land was fully developed.

For example, in Xia, Shang, Zhou and Han, few subsequent dynasties were so lucky.

From this point of view, every sect will suffer from this millennium Golden Elixir Tribulation.

At that time, the sects will be reshuffled and resources will be redistributed.

Which golden elixir is crazy enough, which golden elixir has more right to speak.

If anyone accepts his fate and wants to live for the last few decades, and is burdened by his family, reputation, and temperament, he will not be able to make a fuss.

But the deep obsession must still occupy the majority.

Think about ordinary people, most of the elderly are struggling as much as possible before they die, throwing their life's accumulation into the ICU in order to live for a few more months.

From this law, one can know what the supernatural golden core will do.

Would they be willing to wait for death and give all their resources to future generations?

There will be such people, but very few.

Wen Rensheng believes that more people may be suppressed and banned in advance by Yuanying Patriarch and the young Golden Cores.

Keep them from going crazy.

Then a few who were not banned, drifted out, and it became a calamity.

After all, their supernatural powers are too great, even if only 5% of the dying golden elixir escape, it will cause a catastrophe.

It is much easier to destroy than to build.

A Golden Elixir is like a walking mushroom.

Wen Rensheng also realized one thing.

He can no longer catch more casual cultivators.

The more he catches, the more likely he will make a mistake.

The easier it is for her identity as a precious medicine in the world to be spread out.

After all, if you walk too much at night, you will get hit eventually.

more likely to be exposed.

He had long known the greatest danger of the Immortal.

That is the force majeure factors such as meteorites, volcanoes, earthquakes, and wars.

What Wen Rensheng can avoid now is war.

And the most practical way to avoid war is to dig holes.

He decided to start digging.

Still in the mountains, digging by myself.

If you dig ten meters a year, you can dig five kilometers in 500 years.

A burrow five kilometers deep.

He believed that Patriarch Jindan was coming, but he couldn't see him underground.

He dropped everything, took a big lobster and found a rocky mountain to live in.

Dig down while living.

This will prevent flooding.

Will magma be dug below 5,000 meters?

Probably not.

He has carefully read some geological miscellaneous notes of this world, and the magma formation is also very deep.

Then his daily life became fixed.

Practicing every day, digging holes, storing water, food, dried vegetables...

The Changchun Kungfu he practiced.

After 50 years.

Finally got started.

It's really not easy, it took almost 400 years.

Only then did he begin to cultivate to the first level of Qi Refining.

The spread of this speed may scare many people.

But it doesn't matter.

Some people haven't practiced immortality in several lifetimes.

So Wen Rensheng didn't care at all.

He casually told the big lobster in front of him the exercises he had sorted out and practiced.

In the end, what left him speechless was that it took only three days for the big lobster to cultivate to the first level.

Three months and three floors.

There is no one who can learn a supernatural power without a teacher: the art of contraction.

It can change its body into the size of a scorpion, or as large as a millstone.

Wen Rensheng was not depressed at all.

I didn't feel that I was inferior to a shrimp.

Because he already knew that this shrimp has supernatural powers. He was a tortoise a long time ago...

"Big lobster, can you cook?"

On this day, Wen Rensheng had just dug a half-meter stone hole, and suddenly asked a question.

Mainly he thought of the story of a snail girl.

The big lobster silently got into the corner and lay down on its stomach.

Forget it, don't think about that kind of good thing.

It would be nice to at least have a companion, to be with you all the time.

Afterwards, continue to practice, continue to dig holes and store food.

In this way, a hundred years have passed, two hundred years have passed...

The previous dynasty finally changed.

It is said that a plague came down, and the royal family lost all children and grandchildren.

It is said that there is a fairy gate, and this kind of thing will not happen.

However, Xianmen didn't care.

Wen Rensheng conjectured that it might have something to do with dealing with the Golden Core Tribulation.

Immortals can't control themselves, so what do you care about your mortal dynasty?

So when the collateral lineages were vying for the throne, another family of great talents emerged in large numbers, rose through hardships, were able to endure hardships and stand hard work, and won the throne.

Then worship the previous fairy gate, and make offerings as before.

Xianmen didn't come out to take care of it either.

So it went on like this.

Some people say that the emperor will have many children.

But in fact, there are quite a few emperors in this family.

It's okay if there are immortals interfering, but without immortals, it's just a pure feudal era.

In the feudal era, there were many childless emperors.

Xiaozong had to be allowed to succeed the Datong.

Jiajing of Ming Dynasty is the most famous one.

Wen Rensheng naturally avoided this dynastic turmoil directly.

And now he has cultivated to the third level of Qi Refining.

The potential of this Changchun skill has reached its peak.

If he wants to break through the third floor, he has to find some monks.

He thought about it, and it was still a hundred years before the golden core catastrophe.

It is better to be still than to move.

After all, he is a cultivator, so he can see his own extraordinaryness.

Unless you have reached the Nascent Soul stage, it is not suitable to be exposed to the eyes of others.

Now his best way is to find a clone, or refine a puppet to act.

This kind of method exists, but it can only be practiced if it is above the golden core stage.

One is that the materials are hard to find, and the other is that the soul needs to be cut.

Only in this way can the remote control action be carried out across distances.

It is far from what can be learned by practicing the third layer.

The second way is to find an agent, a mortal, to help him act.

Teach the other party martial arts and let the other party catch loose cultivators.

But mortals have ambitions.

As long as you want to control the other party, there will be resistance.

While Wen Rensheng was weighing the pros and cons,

His good luck came.

this day.

The big lobster crawled back from the outside.

This up and down is a road of several kilometers.

Lobster gave him an ancient book.

Wen Rensheng took a closer look and found that it was the complete copy of Changchun Gong.

And it can be practiced all the way to the golden core stage.

He looked at the lobster again.

For a moment he had nothing to say.

All right.

He has worked hard for hundreds of years to obtain the cultivation method.

As a result, the other party brought it to him easily.

Isn't it fair?

It's actually quite fair.

Just you, a worker, working hard all your life, is not enough for the boss to make more money in one night.

Isn't this a common thing?

This is what happens most often in the real world.

It is not normal for someone else to take hundreds of years to accomplish something that you thought would take you hundreds of years.

It is better now, Wen Rensheng can continue to practice with peace of mind.

Everyday life becomes very simple again.

It is digging holes to practice exercises and store food.

And then talk to the lobster.

That big lobster also enjoys this kind of life.

Now, Wen Rensheng doesn't go out anymore.

He buried as much as he started digging.

Only a closed space is left.

He is already a cultivator, able to live on spiritual energy, and does not need oxygen.

From the outside, there are no traces of the cave.

The food reserves are enough for him to eat for 100 years.

If you don't go out, you have been practicing in the cave.

Wen Rensheng felt that he was very powerful, and he didn't feel the decline of his language function even if he stayed alone like this.

Didn't even feel like I was going crazy.

And like ordinary people, it is definitely impossible to do this.

Anyway, just talk to the big lobster every day.

The big lobster has become quite smart now too.

It can even write on the ground.

Wen Rensheng asked it casually: "Do you want to go out?"

The big lobster wrote on the stone wall: "I don't want to."

"Well, we are really a couple." Wen Rensheng said casually.

At this moment, there was a sudden vibration on the stone wall.

Next, in the past few days, Wen Rensheng often heard various vibrations coming from the stone wall.

It seems that there should be a war going on outside.

Wen Rensheng didn't know the specific situation, so he continued to wait.

He just felt what was happening outside through the trembling of the stone wall.

He believes that there may be no one alive like himself.

And indeed just alive.

dark.

Fortunately, he is a cultivator, so he can read books with the help of the radiant light from the stone wall.

In addition to practicing digging pits every day, I just read various ancient books.

Pick up all the piano, chess, calligraphy and paintings, poems and songs, couplets and so on...

Occasionally play games.

If there is nothing to do, teach the big lobster, and the lost language ability is back.

Big Lobster is not interested in poetry and songs, but is interested in horse cranes, mahjong, and leaf cards...

This makes Wen Rensheng often teach it: "You have to be a shrimp with advanced taste."

As he expected, the outside world did not affect him.

And he has been practicing from the first level of Qi Refining to the ninth level of Qi Refining.

Then there is the tenth floor of Qi training.

Then came the Dzogchen.

Then he hit the bottleneck.

No matter how much you practice, you won't make any progress.

It seems that it is necessary to break through the foundation building in order to continue to practice.

He had heard that a breakthrough required hard-boiled eggs.

In his case, about ten or eight boiled eggs will do.

So Wen Rensheng searched for his own food, and found hundreds of old salted eggs.

He thought for a while, boiled eggs should be salty or bland.

However, it seems to be a very difficult thing to obtain boiled eggs from the outside world.

Of course, it is also related to different worlds.

But in this world it seems to be very difficult.

But he saw that the big lobster did not seem to have such a bottleneck, and it broke through directly and smoothly.

He ate the first boiled egg without breaking through.

I ate the second one, but it still didn't work.

Fifty years later, he ate another one, still not good.

At this time, the cultivation base of the big lobster has broken through to the golden core stage.

Good guy, this big lobster has been golden elixir in the past five hundred years.

He is still a perfect Qi Refiner.

Wait, as long as you deceive yourself that you are still eighteen.

Then it's not trash.

Eighteen-year-old Consummation is a supreme genius, even Tianlinggen doesn't have such aptitude.

He suddenly had a feeling that the strength of the big lobster seemed to grow with time.

When the time is up, what strength can the big lobster achieve.

It's a bit like the sleeping dragon blood of the west.

Sleep increases strength.

This is also a bit too different from myself.
