Start from the Martial Arts

Fang Xiu did not take a closer look at the changes in the Book of Destiny and turned around to the side of the Pine Forest Holy Envoy.

"Pine Forest! How are you?!"

"Master, I'm fine." The Holy Envoy of the Pine Forest looked pale, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He tried to contract his muscles and wrapped the wound with force to stop the bleeding. "Good job." Fang Xiu used the acupoint sealing method to point at the broken arm of the Holy Envoy of the Pine Forest. Jie Ruo sent him a little bit of Xiantian True Yuan.

Just now, Fang Xiu was a little touched when the Pine Forest Holy Envoy risked his life and death to resist the attack of the immortal cultivators.

"The magic tree, transport some energy and blood to the pine forest."

Fang Xiu ordered to the magic tree behind.

"Hoarse... hoarse..." The demon tree made a faint sharp sound, dancing like a severely damaged vine.

"I know you have sacrificed a lot, and I will make it up to you later." Fang Xiu comforted him.

The demonic tree then stretched out its tentacles, stretched out its hard thorns, and slowly pierced the arm of the pine forest envoy.

"Leader? Is this...?" Feeling the rapid filling of Qi and blood in his body, the Holy Envoy of the Pine Forest was stunned. He seemed to recognize the magic tree in front of him.

"Let's talk later."

Fang Xiu raised his hand to interrupt him and walked towards the remains of the skinny old man.

The skinny old man was completely unrecognizable, half of his head was blown off, but the blue robe he was wearing only had a few small holes.

It's not stained with blood mist or minced meat.

"Is this Taoist robe also a magical weapon?"

Fang Xiu felt the faint fluctuations of mana coming from the Taoist robe, and his eyes lit up.

He knelt down and took off his blue robe.

The skinny old man's inner shirt was still well stored. Fang Xiu reached out and touched his chest, which was bulging.

He immediately opened the skinny old man's shirt, and inside were four booklets.

In addition, there is a leather bag and a cloth bag.

The leather bag contained a jade slip, a talisman pen, several talisman papers, two small porcelain bottles, and three thumb-sized rhombus crystals.

"Is this a spiritual stone?!"

Fang Xiu held the rhombus crystal in his hand and felt the fluctuations of spiritual energy contained in it.

Another heavy cloth bag also contained spiritual energy fluctuations.

When I opened it, I saw a bunch of crystal particles inside, which looked like leftovers from spiritual stones and weighed about ten kilograms.

"It's gone?" Fang Xiu searched all over the corpse again, but found no treasure similar to storage, and was disappointed.

"The magical weapon just now..." Fang Xiu threw the corpse to the magic tree and stood up to look for the thin needle that had just glowed with black light.

He searched around and finally found a small black needle one inch long under a stone.

Looking closely, there are fine blood-colored textures on it.

Fang Xiu didn't have time to take a closer look and said to the magic tree: "You stay here. If you encounter an immortal cultivator, you can hide in the ground."

"Hoarse:" The demon tree swallowed the remains of the skinny old man and regained its energy.

Obviously, the flesh and blood of immortal cultivators is more nutritious than ordinary beasts.

"Pine Forest, let's go first."

Fang Xiu waved to the Pine Forest Holy Envoy.

The skinny old man said just now that he still had a few companions. Regardless of whether it was true or not, for the sake of safety, he had to leave here first.

"Yes." The Holy Envoy of Pine Forest followed Fang Xiu down the mountain.

When the two of them arrived at the town closest to Yuntai Snow Mountain, Fang Xiu accompanied the Pine Forest Envoy to the town's medical center for further treatment of his wounds, and then returned to the restaurant to rest.

After returning to the room, he had time to review the memory of the skinny old man.

He calmed down and entered the fourth page of the Book of Destiny.

Soon, the memory image of the skinny old man appeared.

The skinny old man's name is Zhao Ningsheng, a casual cultivator in Anpingfang City.

The Broken Soul Mountain Range covers an area of ​​thousands of miles.

Anpingfang City is located at the foot of the northeastern Duanhun Mountain Range.

Anpingfang City was developed in recent decades by an immortal cultivating sect called Danxia Sect.

Earlier, after leaving the Broken Soul Mountain Range, there was also an endless forest outside, with wild beasts and monsters running rampant inside.

To put it simply, Anpingfang City is the frontier of Danxia Sect’s land reclamation.

Although it is not safe, for casual cultivators, Anpingfang City has spiritual veins and monster resources nearby. It is already a rare place for cultivating immortals, so many cultivators have gathered.

Twenty thousand miles north of Anpingfang City, there is a Jinhong Mountain Range. There is a huge spiritual vein in the mountain range.

The three major sects, Danxia Sect, Taiqing Sword Sect, and Hehuan Sect, established the mountain gate based on the spiritual veins here.

When Zhao Ningsheng was young, he was a handyman disciple of the Hehuan Sect."

The so-called handyman disciples are those whose spiritual roots are too poor and their cultivation level is too low, failing to meet the minimum requirements to become an outer sect disciple. In order to stay in the sect, he chose to be a servant to the inner disciples, hoping to become an official outer disciple one day.

The handyman disciples not only have to do odd jobs and perform some simple sect tasks for the disciples within the sect, but they are also not paid.

According to the words of the previous life, it is "paid to work"

The only hope is to transform from a handyman disciple to an outer disciple.

It's a pity that Zhao Ningsheng was unlucky. He worked diligently for ten years, from a boy to a young man, and finally reached the fourth level of Qi refining. He wanted to rely on his merits to become an outer disciple. However, with just one word from the foundation manager, he His quota was bumped up and replaced by his own junior with extremely poor qualifications.

The former Zhao Ningsheng was also a talented young man. In order to become an outer disciple, he volunteered to become the furnace of an inner disciple, but was drained of his essence by the other party.

As a result, his spot was snatched away. Frustrated, he left the Hehuan Sect and became a casual cultivator.

Later, the Danxia Sect opened up wasteland and established Anpingfang City.

Zhao Ningsheng followed the land reclamation team to the Broken Soul Mountain Range.

Zhao Ningsheng has some talent in making talismans, refining pills, and refining weapons. Although the inner disciple of the Hehuan Sect absorbed a large amount of his essence, he was not stingy with him.

Zhao Ningsheng taught himself how to make talismans, alchemy, and weapon refining by relying on the spiritual stones he obtained from inner disciples.

He originally thought he was a genius, and imagined that after becoming an outer sect disciple, he would gradually become an inner sect disciple, and finally become a foundation-building ancestor.

Then go out and establish a family of cultivators, spread branches and leaves for the sect, and live happily for a hundred or two hundred years.

Unfortunately, after leaving the Hehuan Sect and the inner disciples, he found that his studies were too complex. He had joined the sect in making talismans, refining alchemy, and refining weapons, but he was not good at everything.

Life as a casual cultivator was difficult, but Zhao Ningsheng relied on his basic skills to live a relatively comfortable life.

Unlike some non-skilled cultivators, men can only do odd jobs, while female cultivators are even reduced to selling their bodies.

Because once you enter Anpingfang City, it is not so easy to leave.

The 20,000-mile journey from Anpingfang City to the Jinhong Mountains is filled with dense jungles and rampant monsters.

Although it is basically a first-level monster, it is already a fatal threat to casual cultivators.

Free when you go.

If you want to be safe when you go back, you have to take the flying boat of Danxia Sect, Taiqing Sword Sect, and Hehuan Sect.

This amount of spiritual stone is not something that ordinary casual cultivators can afford.

In fact, there are some strange beasts on the periphery of the Broken Soul Mountain Range that are stronger than wild beasts and weaker than the first-level low-grade monster beasts in the early stage of Qi refining.

Low-level casual cultivators can also be dealt with, and Haosui can be sold for some money.

However, once you leave the city, people are much more dangerous than monsters."

Some tribulation cultivators do not hunt monsters, but specialize in intercepting and killing low-level casual cultivators who are alone.

As long as he is not seen by the law enforcement team, Fangshi doesn't care at all.

Anyway, there are many casual cultivators who want to make a fortune.

Flying boats from Danxia Sect, Taiqing Sword Sect, and Hehuan Sect bring casual cultivators every year.

The casual cultivators of "The Remaining Are King" generally choose to leave when they reach the later stage of Qi refining, and some choose to join the three major sects.

Zhao Ningsheng relied on making talismans and refining pills to practice all the way to the sixth level of Qi refining.

The sixth to seventh levels are the bottleneck from the middle to late stages of Qi refining. For low-grade spiritual roots like his, it is difficult to break through on his own.

In order to save money to buy the realm-breaking elixir, Zhao Ningsheng even tinkered with an elixir called Shengxian Dan.

This pill has aphrodisiac and refreshing effects, and is addictive when taken for a long time.

Zhao Ningsheng relied on the high-quality and low-price Immortality Pill to actually save money to buy the Breakthrough Pill. Unfortunately, he had injured his vitality and blood in his early years, so he failed to break through the realm at the critical moment.

After recovering, Zhao Ningsheng continued to save money.

As a result, he was tricked by his neighbor who he usually had a good relationship with and tricked into entering the Broken Soul Mountain Range in an attempt to kill people and seize the treasure.

Zhao Ningsheng exhausted his cards and killed his neighbor with minor injuries. As a result, Jie Xiu was alarmed and was chased deep into the mountains.

In a panic, he went in the wrong direction and ran further and further away from Anpingfang City. He was chased by a mid-level first-order monster behind him.

Even the only defensive weapon was lost.

After walking thousands of miles, Zhao Ningsheng accidentally crossed the Duanhun Mountain Range and came to the Yuntai Snow Mountain in the south, where he met Fang Xiu.

Zhao Ningsheng was full of rage, and his first reaction was to kill someone to vent his anger, and by the way, he used the essence and blood of Fang Xiu, a mortal warrior, to feed the 'Black Blood Needle' magical weapon.

But he never expected it.

The mortal martial arts used by Fang Xiu, a mortal warrior, had the terrifying effect of breaking Qi and breaking Gang.

More importantly, there are hundreds of talisman skins hidden, each of which has the same effect.

Two layers of golden light shield, plus the body-protecting spiritual light that comes with the first-level low-grade robe, the triple defense is enough to withstand multiple attacks from monks in the middle stage of Qi refining.

But they were all defeated by Fang Xiu in one encounter.

"It seems that Sansangui Yuanqi is stronger than I expected!"

Fang Xiu's consciousness broke away from Zhao Ningsheng's memory picture.

"Sure enough, practicing martial arts is such an inconvenience!"

The Three Ultimate True Energy can break through the magic shield, so if all the dark energy incorporated into it turns into elixir energy, the effect of breaking Qi and breaking Gang will obviously be stronger.

By surprise, even the monks in the late stage of Qi refining may not be able to stop him.

According to Zhao Ningsheng's memory, the vast majority of immortal cultivators do not practice physical training and do not know how to use body techniques.

First use defensive spells, and then use talismans and magical weapons. Although you won't stand still, you can at most use a wind control technique to speed up running and dodge, which is not as flexible as warriors and body refiners.

For ordinary cultivators, maintaining high speed in battle consumes physical strength very quickly. Compared to relying on 'movement' to dodge, defensive magic weapons are more reliable.

Of course, most casual cultivators don’t have many talismans, let alone magical weapons.

Moreover, defensive magic weapons are generally more expensive than offensive magic weapons.

"It seems that casual cultivation is really difficult.

Fang Xiu put the spoils of war on the table.

"Five Elements Basic Talisman and Seal Making" records the making methods of twelve basic magic spells.

It is much more detailed than the "Preparation of Six Common Talismans and Seal Scripts" that Fang Xiu obtained from the treasure house of the Immortality Sect before.

Among them, there are five types of offensive magic spells, four auxiliary types, and three defensive types.

Fang Xiu went through it roughly and found that in the early stage of Qi refining, there were only four kinds of cleansing charms, Qi-concentrating charms, wind-controlling charms, and amulets.

The more practical defensive spells Golden Light Talisman and Water Curtain Talisman require cultivation in the middle stage of Qi refining to make."

Finally, there is the Golden Bell Talisman, which is known as the strongest defensive talisman in the Qi refining period. Only those who have cultivated in the later stage of Qi refining have enough mana to make it.

In order to increase the success rate of making talismans, talisman masters generally have to learn spells first, and then make the corresponding talismans.

However, practicing spells is time-consuming and laborious. Most talisman masters start making talismans after practicing spells to the entry level.

Of course, if you have a high talent for making talismans and advanced skills, you don’t need to learn spells. As long as you know the principle of spell release, you can make the corresponding talismans.

"I will rely on this to make a living in the future." Fang Xiu carefully put away the talisman making book.

Then he checked "The Beginning of Alchemy", which basically records spiritual medicines, and explains in detail the age and medicinal properties of spiritual medicines, as well as the processing methods.

In addition, there are three kinds of elixir recipes: Bigu Pill, Ascension Pill, and Yangqi Pill.

Immortal cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage still need to eat, drink, defecate and urinate.

Unlike the cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage, it is enough to rely on breathing in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

One Bigu Pill can ensure that the cultivator will not be hungry for three days. The most important thing is that after taking the Bigu Pill, the body completely absorbs the nutrients of the pill,

and does not need to excrete.

This can ensure that the immortal cultivators can practice in seclusion, especially when they are trying to break through the bottleneck, so that they will not be too hungry for too long and be forced to interrupt the breakthrough.

One bottle of Bigu Pills contains ten pills.

And one spirit stone can buy five bottles of Bigu Pills.

Needless to say, the Immortal Ascension Pill is the foundation of Zhao Ningsheng's wealth.

Finally, there is the Yangqi Pill, which is the most precious of the three kinds of pills and can improve the cultivation of cultivators in the early stage of Qi Refining.

One spirit stone for one pill.

Yangqi Pills are the most profitable and the most difficult to refine.

"I'd better forget it." Fang Xiu paused and put away "The Beginning of Alchemy".

He seemed to have no talent in alchemy. He still hadn't mastered the contents of "Spiritual Medicine Identification".

Mortal pills can't be refined well, let alone the pills of immortal cultivators.

Fang Xiu picked up "Introduction to Refining Equipment" and read it briefly.

"I think I'm really good at this!"

Most of the content in it talks about how to quench and purify materials.

The equipment of immortal cultivators in the Qi Refining stage mainly relies on earth fire.

In the early stage of quenching and purifying materials, the forging method of mortals can be used.

[Martial Arts: Divine Ape Hammer Method·Breaking Limits (17%)]

(Skills: Forging Technique·Perfection (24%))

Fang Xiu's Divine Ape Hammer Method has long been perfected and broken limits.

His forging technique is not inferior to most of the hall masters of the Divine Weapon Valley.

In addition, his external skills have broken through the Grandmaster level, and his physique exceeds that of normal immortal cultivators, so he can delve deeper into refining equipment.

It just so happens that "The Eight Phases of Qiankun" requires the refining of the natal magic weapon in advance. This kind of secret involving trump cards cannot be completed by others.

Although he has not yet gone to the immortal world, Fang Xiu has already thought about the future development route.

Make talismans first, then refine equipment.

Fang Xiu put away "Introduction to Refining Equipment":

The remaining book "Source Water Jue", a water attribute basic technique from the first to the ninth level of Qi Refining.

A bottle of Bigu Pills, eight pills.

A bottle of Yangqi Pills, ten pills.

A cleaning talisman, a wood vine talisman, and a protective talisman."

A low-grade magic pen.

A jade scroll.

Fang Xiu attached the jade scroll to the center of his brow.

Although the cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage have spiritual consciousness, they cannot release it outside the body, so they can only attach it to the center of their brows to examine the jade scroll.
