Outside the dynasty, there were many powerful sects, sects, and aristocratic families. Although when the Dayu Dynasty was at its peak, these forces in Kyushu either surrendered, or practiced in seclusion, or lived far away. Escape beyond Kyushu.
However, as the national power of the Dayu Dynasty gradually declined, the power of sects, sects, and aristocratic families increased day by day. In many places, sects and aristocratic families even replaced the government, just like a local emperor.
The imperial government, powerful vassal families, sects, demon sects, evil spirits, evil spirits, etc. are all on the scene, and there is even a lack of forces from outside Kyushu to get involved.
How can a random word be used to describe it.
Fulong Mountain is located in the northwest of Wu County in Chuzhou and is said to stretch for more than 3,000 miles. The mountainous area where Tian Huan is located is just an inconspicuous mountain col in the southeast of Fulong Mountain. The northeast point is Dongshan County of Qinglin Prefecture, and Tian Huan It can be said that he is from Dongshan County.
Wanglou Township is just below Dongshan County. There is a county magistrate in the county. It is said that he is addicted to Qi refining and does not go out much all year round. The specific cultivation level is not clear, but he should not be very strong.
The affairs of the county are mainly managed by the county magistrate, the chief minister, and the county lieutenant. These three are all from local wealthy families, and most of the officials below come from these three subordinates.
The county magistrate is like a dragon crossing the river, so these three are local snakes.
However, Tian Huan had already learned about these things in the county through his father-in-law Liu Xiucai. Tian Huan was more interested in the way of cultivation. Unfortunately, Xu Shen was just a wandering Taoist and didn't know much about anything above the Foundation Establishment Realm. few.
The path of cultivation in this world can only be considered the true path after establishing the foundation. After the foundation is established, it is divided into two paths: Qi refining and body refining. Both are in the ninth level. However, the threshold for Qi refining is very high. , those who do not have spiritual roots and excellent qualifications cannot practice.
The Qi Refining Realm can directly absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, enter it into the body and refine it into true qi, store the sea of qi below, and nourish the purple palace with true qi. Look at the body and build the spiritual foundation.
The threshold for the physical training realm is lower. Only those who are physically strong and eat enough can practice it. They use breathing and breathing methods combined with physical exercises to refine energy and strengthen flesh, blood, muscles and bones, and then refine energy into qi to penetrate the meridians and air points. , and finally established the immortal foundation of martial arts.
It's just that the number of monks in the body refining realm is more than ten times that of the monks in the qi refining realm, but in the end, there are no more people who can build the foundation than there are qi refining monks.
Qi-refining monks are more like taking a cable car directly to the top of the mountain, while body-refining monks walk step by step from the winding mountain road to the top of the mountain. And the martial arts cultivators who can reach the top of the mountain and build an immortal foundation will naturally have higher combat power than ordinary refining monks. Chi monk.
Only sword cultivators who place their fate on swords can fight against the martial arts branch, but the number of sword cultivators is even smaller in comparison.
However, this does not mean that there are no powerful geniuses among Qi Refining monks, and Qi Refining monks often have part-time jobs, such as weapon refining, alchemy, talismans, formations, beast control, etc. Yu, he also made an achievement in his part-time job, and his status cannot be lowered.
In this aspect, martial arts cultivators obviously cannot compare. After all, they have to devote all their efforts just to cultivate their bodies and hone their martial arts skills. Where can they find the time to work part-time?
And Xu Shen is a martial arts practitioner at the second level of body refining. Low-level martial arts cultivators are not uncommon, and can even be said to be very common. There are more than a hundred county soldiers at the body refining level in Dongshan County, and the entire Dongshan County There may be two to three hundred body refining warriors in total.
By the way, in order to exterminate the tiger monster killed by Tian Huan, more than a dozen county soldiers in Dongshan County were killed and more than twenty were injured. They are currently recruiting new soldiers, and the standard for recruiting soldiers is the first level of physical training.
In addition, there are probably nearly twenty monks in the Qi Refining Realm in Dongshan County. Although almost all of them are from local wealthy families, less than half of them are family members, while the other monks go to famous Confucian sects. Returned after completing his studies in the sect.
However, the so-called success in studying is actually just to put money on one's own face. Basically, they have poor qualifications and lack of hard work to seek truth. In the end, they choose to return to their hometown to lord it over others.
Some of this information was known to Tian Huan, and some was unknown to him. After summarizing it, Tian Huan gained more understanding. However, if it was before, he might still have the idea of study, but now with his He looked like he was seeking death instead of studying.
The secret book that Xu Shen dedicated to Tian Huan is called "Spiritual Snake Body Tempering Technique". The name is not bad, but it is actually a body-training technique that is considered popular, and Xu Shen only has the first three levels. This is all from his lineage. The basic skills passed down for three generations.
"Actually, if I find a small place to live and build a small temple, my life will not be so tight, but..." Xu Shen stared closely at the roasted deer on a wooden stick and couldn't help but Zhu Zhu swallowed a little, maybe because he felt a little embarrassed like this, Xu Shen explained reluctantly: "But I still want to make a living while I'm young. When I'm living outside, I will inevitably get stuck."
It also has something to do with Xu Shen's dislike of committing crimes, otherwise he wouldn't have to eat hard bread. Tian Huan didn't mean to laugh at him. People with persistence and bottom line are always valuable.
Wan Niang took a small knife and carefully made a slit in the roasted deer. She had been eating meat with Tian Huan these days, which made Wan Niang's originally pale face become a little more rosy and seemed to be rounder.
However, due to the lack of seasoning, Tian Huan was already a little tired of it. He was going to exchange a few skins with the mountain people for some salt and grain. It would be better if he could exchange more tools and cloth.
Tian Huan doesn't know what state he is in now. The cultivation mode of monsters is quite different from that of humans. Most monsters are born and raised. They rely entirely on instinct to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to practice. It is time-consuming, laborious and slow, but the benefits are unnecessary. The spiritual energy is not all wasted, but is integrated into the monster itself, making the monster often stronger and live longer.
A longer lifespan will allow monsters to successfully survive the ignorant period of monsters and open up their true wisdom, so that they can create their own based on instinct or learn human cultivation methods. Only some monsters with heel and legs can Ability to obtain the skills inherited from one’s own bloodline.
However, some powerful monster forces do have their own martial arts systems. However, within the Kyushu of the Dayu Dynasty, there are almost no established monster forces. Some of them are lurking in the dark. Even though the dynasty's law network has gradually declined in recent hundreds of years, , but the demon clan’s power is not considered strong either.
If Tian Huan wants to practice, he probably has to learn human skills and then integrate into his own body as much as possible. Oh, by the way, he also has a 'useless' plug-in, which he got from the evil ghost who was beaten to death by Tian Huan. , the Seven Kills Monument robbed a piece of mortal luck.
Tian Huan just wanted to frown at this and secretly cursed the evil spirit for being so frustrated that it wasn't even considered a masterpiece.
In addition to luck, the beauty painting left by the evil ghost also fell into Tian Huan's hands. According to Xu Shen, this painting is considered a low-grade talisman, but it is an evil talisman. If a normal person uses it, it will pollute the mind. .
Talismans are equipment commonly used by monks in the Qi Refining Realm, and there are four levels: lower, middle, upper, and extreme. It is said that some novices or weapon refiners with poor skills will make some unqualified Talisman for sale, and then they will be sold. Called miscellaneous symbols.
Xu Shen pulled out his sword and handed it to Tian Huan and said: "My Liufeng Sword is actually an imitation miscellaneous talisman, but it is only three points stronger than an ordinary iron sword."
