"Ah sneeze!"
Shen Yuan, who had just gotten off the car, couldn't help but sneeze.
Reaching out to rub his sore nose, Shen Yuan was a little puzzled. Having already entered the realm of refining, he could use his breathing method to protect himself from the cold and heat, and there was no possibility of catching a cold.
"Could it be that someone is talking about me?"
After muttering something casually, Shen Yuan didn't pay attention and walked directly towards his rental house.
Wencheng, where Shen Yuan is located, is a typical resource-based industrial city because a giant coal mine began to develop, and many factories were built around the coal mine to finally form a city.
But like the fate of most resource-based industrial cities, Wencheng lost its development vitality after the giant coal mines dried up, leaving large areas of abandoned factories and residential areas in the old city, and the entire city's focus was entirely on the new city. .
It has been three months since Shen Yuan moved to this old city. The main reason for moving to the old city is that the housing prices here are cheap and you can rent an independent small courtyard for a few hundred yuan.
Although the location is a bit remote, it is not a problem at all for Shen Yuan who has no travel requirements.
And because the surrounding factories have been abandoned for more than ten years, the lack of pollution from factories makes the old city environment quite good. Even the abandoned mines not far away have shown some signs of recovery in more than ten years.
Passing through a remote alley, Shen Yuan walked towards the small courtyard that occupied an area of less than 100 square meters.
Opening the rusty door lock, Shen Yuan pushed open the door. What he saw was a ground paved with gravel and an ancient wooden corridor with green vines twining around it.
On the left side of the yard, there is a jujube tree with lush foliage. The square stone table under the tree has intertwined lines that look like a Go board.
However, Shen Yuan doesn't know how to play chess, so the chessboard carved from the stone table is of little use.
Throwing away his backpack, Shen Yuan sat in front of the stone table, immersed in this familiar environment and gradually relaxed.
In the past few days heading to the Yunwu Mountains, Shen Yuan seemed to be relaxed and comfortable along the way, but in fact, he was always very nervous.
Especially after what happened in Luoyun Cave Sky, facing the mighty power that wiped out all the creatures in Cave Sky completely surpassed Shen Yuan's cognition, and even made Shen Yuan's mental pressure reach the limit.
Shen Yuan could not truly relax until he returned to his own small courtyard.
Sitting in front of the stone table, Shen Yuan's breathing gradually became longer, and the cloud breathing method seemed to blend into the peaceful mind, emitting a mysterious rhythm.
Time passed by, and the entire courtyard seemed to be completely immersed in tranquility.
After an unknown period of time, a crisp sound like broken glass resounded in Shen Yuan's heart. The mysterious rhythm caused by the breathing method began to spread in all directions, and spiritual energy began to gather within a radius of more than ten meters.
The leaves of the jujube trees in the courtyard are rustling, and the green radish on the corridor is constantly swaying in the breeze. The instinct of living creatures makes them actively accept the gathering spiritual energy.
When the spiritual energy followed the rhythm of the breathing method and merged into the great circulation in Shen Yuan's body, Shen Yuan slowly opened his eyes.
The pair of black and white eyes on the handsome face flashed with a cold light, and the breeze in the courtyard turned into a chilling autumn breeze at this moment.
The branches swayed, and a large number of fallen leaves fell with the wind. The leaves that just fell from the branches were stained with a hazy color that was not of this world.
But everything was fleeting. When the cold light in Shen Yuan's eyes dissipated and returned to peace, it was as if everything had never happened.
"Finally a breakthrough!"
Shen Yuan breathed a long sigh of relief, with a smile on his face.
After experiencing the Luoyun Cave Sky Incident, the cloud and mist breathing method that he had practiced for half a year finally helped him achieve a breakthrough and successfully move from the early stage of the Refining Realm to the middle stage.
The most important task in the refining stage is actually to accumulate and strengthen one's own essence to prepare for the next refining of Qi, so there is not much difference between the early and middle stages.
The cloud and mist breathing method is a foundation-building method. After entering the middle stage of Shen Yuan's formal refining realm, the effect it can exert is minimal. As for using the cloud and mist breathing method to break through to the Qi Transformation realm, there is no possibility.
Fortunately, Shen Yuan has obtained the follow-up skills. In the next period of time, Shen Yuan can also formally practice the follow-up "Zixia Qi Refining Method". The speed of practice will increase rapidly for a period of time, and it is foreseeable that there will be a breakthrough. Entering the Qi Transformation Realm is not difficult.
After seeing the tragic situation in Luoyun Cave Sky, Shen Yuan began to feel a little eager to improve his own strength.
He inherited the position of the leader of Luoyun Sect. No one is sure whether the disaster that happened in Luoyun Cave will also affect him. Before he actually encounters the disaster, he must obtain enough strength to protect himself.
Shen Yuan was about to get up and go back to his room to start meditating on Zixia Qi Refining Technique, but suddenly he heard a low sound in his stomach, and then he remembered that he had not eaten anything all day today.
And counting the few days in the Yunwu Mountains, Shen Yuan only ate some compressed food prepared in advance and never had a good meal at all.
The realm of refining relies not only on spiritual energy to strengthen itself, but part of it also requires external food supplements.
Shen Yuan once found some legends about ancient cultivators. In an era when spiritual energy was scarce, there were geniuses who entered the realm of refining and could not get any external spiritual energy to replenish them. They had to eat a lot of ordinary food to replenish their essence, and even left behind some Japanese. The legend of eating a cow.
However, Shen Yuan's modern spiritual energy is far from lacking to that extent, but food supplement is still necessary.
After returning to the room and taking a look at the empty old-fashioned refrigerator, Shen Yuan turned around and walked out of the courtyard, closed the door and walked towards the vegetable market.
There are not many people on the streets of the old city. Even in the vegetable market, you can only see some elderly people buying vegetables and preparing dinner, and there are no young people at all.
Skillfully picking vegetables in front of the stall, the aunts setting up the stall chatted briefly about family issues, but suddenly something said by an aunt attracted Shen Yuan's attention.
"Have you heard? Someone saw a dragon over there in the old mining area."
As soon as these words came out, it immediately aroused the interest of many adults, and everyone began to discuss this topic.
"Are you talking about what happened the night before yesterday?"
"A few unemployed gangsters heard others say that there were ancient tombs under the old mine, so they went to the old mine in the middle of the night to rob the tomb. They were frightened to death. When they came back, they said they had met a dragon."
"You are still an old employee of the mine. Do you believe this kind of thing?"
"You can't say that. Look at all kinds of strange things happening everywhere on the Internet recently. Some people said they saw a small mountain-high ape king in Changbai Mountain, and some people photographed a nine-headed snake at the abandoned nuclear power plant in Yingzhou.
Even the Yunwu Mountains, which are only a few hundred kilometers away from us, seem to have some abnormalities. The Zhennan Hou Mansion dispatched the Zhennan Army to block the Yunwu Mountains. There is not even much news about this matter on the Internet.
If my second uncle and grandma's nephew hadn't been a staff member of the scenic spot, I definitely wouldn't have known about this. "
"So some things are better to be believed than to be believed not to be true."
Shen Yuan originally listened to the conversations of these uncles and aunts just for fun. After moving to the old city for more than half a year, he could hear various rumors about the old mining area every now and then.
Even at the beginning, Shen Yuan thought that some strange treasure was really born in the old mining area. He ran into the mining area at night and squatted for half a night but didn't find anything. Later, he became accustomed to it.
But when he heard a certain uncle swearing about the news about the Yunwu Mountains, Shen Yuan was a little stunned.
This was the first time he heard about the Zhennan Army's blockade of the Yunwu Mountains, and judging from the time of the army's blockade, it happened to be shortly after he left the Yunwu Mountains.
Recalling his experience in the Yunwu Mountains, a bold idea came to Shen Yuan's mind.
"Zhennanhou's blockade of the Yunwu Mountains doesn't have anything to do with me, right?"
