Tianyuan City is located in the far east of Chen State, eleven countries away. It is the first and largest city in charge of monks at the junction of the cultivation world and the secular world in Jiu Ming Prefecture where Chen State is located.
The place that has always opened a fairy gate for Jiu Ming Prefecture and welcomed many disciples has remained unchanged forever.
There is such a city in each of the five states of the Eastern Continent. As the place where the immortal sects of the Eastern Continent are to recruit disciples in each state, each sect has set up a disciple recruitment meeting every ten years. Those who know a little about the connections flock to compete for that little bit of immortality. And arrived.
Hundreds of thousands of people participate in each conference, but less than one in a hundred can successfully enter the Immortal Sect.
Lingchu returned to Fuchun Tower, still thinking carefully about Tianyuan City that Zhang Wen said.
The old Taoist asked him to go to Tianyuan City, presumably for the disciple recruitment meeting of each immortal sect.
According to Zhang Wen, the next disciple recruitment conference will be in four years.
At the speed of a Qi Practitioner, it would take three years at the fastest to cross the eleven countries. For a mortal, it would take at least five years.
Chen Guo was one of the countries far away from Tianyuan City, and the future was unclear. In order to allow time to prepare for unexpected events, Lingchu had to leave early. His original plan of staying with Huan Niang for ten days and a half was a last resort. cancelled.
During the five days he stayed in Antang City, Lingchu met Zhang Wen again in that restaurant in order to inquire about the news about Tianyuan City and the way to get there.
During the period, the two also exchanged some cultivation experiences.
It was quite pleasant to get along with them.
Five days later, Lingchu said goodbye to Huanniang again, but this time, Oriole and Meizi were also sent to see Lingchu off.
Two years later, Lingchu, who had experienced life and death, was still sad about the separation, but he was still able to smile and wave goodbye.
After leaving Antang City, Lingchu did not take the water route. The river transportation in Chen State was very developed, but it ran through the north and south. Lingchu wanted to go east. If he did not take a detour, he would have to go through the mountains and forests.
As a monk in the late stage of Qi training, Lingchu was indeed not afraid of traveling through the mountains and forests alone.
The mountain to the east of Antang City is called Qingshan, and it is the largest mountain nearby. The mountains are covered with lush vegetation and leafy branches. When walking among them, one feels that the branches and leaves above the head are like huge dark clouds, covering the blue sky.
Lingchu jumped and walked among the mountains and forests with a light body, easily climbing more than half of the way when night fell.
Choosing a tall tree at random, Lingchu jumped lightly, sat cross-legged on the branches, and breathed with his eyes closed as steady as a rock. Although Lingchu was confident that he was not afraid of wild beasts, he did not dare to completely relax and sink in in the wild. Practice.
So I spent the night in a semi-cultivation state.
Instead of using the food that had been prepared in the storage bracelet, Lingchu shot a pheasant, happily plucked the feathers and removed the internal organs, washed it with a water arrow skill, took out various seasonings from the storage bracelet, spread it evenly and marinated it. Make it, then take out fresh mushrooms, green onions, ginger, ham, and spring bamboo shoots and stuff them into the pheasant's belly. Finally, take out the wild honey and evenly apply a layer on the skin of the pheasant, then wrap it with two layers of lotus leaves, a thick layer of mud and put it into a pit that had been dug long ago and filled with dead leaves for firewood.
The last fireball spell creates fire.
Perfect!
Lingchu was nibbling wild fruits while patiently waiting for the beggar's chicken to come out of the oven.
Satisfied after eating the roasted Yu's beggar's chicken, which was charred on the outside and tender on the inside, with an appealing aroma, Lingchu packed up the fire, making sure not to leave any flames and not cause a fire. Then he held a big lotus leaf and continued Climb the mountain and hurry up.
Although as a monk, his tolerance to cold and heat has improved a lot and he is less prone to tanning, Lingchu still likes to cover himself from the sun and enjoy the coolness.
After all, traveling alone is already very boring, and not finding something for yourself is really boring.
After three days of driving, Lingchu had completely penetrated the Qingshan Mountains. After another two or three days of walking, he would be able to get out of the mountains. In addition to the mountains, he would be to the east of Chen State.
If you take the official road or take a detour by water, it will take at least half a month.
Traveling through mountains and ridges can save half the time.
Moreover, for a wood monk like Lingchu, the aura of heaven and earth in the mountains and forests is much richer and more active.
late at night.
Lingchu, who was breathing on the tree as usual, was a little depressed. Ever since she entered the seventh level of Qi refining, her cultivation speed had slowed down a lot. At this rate, it would take at least a small amount of time for her to break through to the next level. Half a year later, I heard that the spiritual power required to break through from one realm to the next would increase a lot as time went by. I wonder if she will be able to successfully break through to Dzogchen in four years.
Not to mention reaching the twelfth level of Qi training recorded in the technique.
Be wary of arrogance and impatience, and be as calm as water.
A trace of irritability in Lingchu's heart only appeared under the influence of the Qingjing Sutra, and then completely disappeared.
According to the Taoist saying, it is not a good thing to practice too fast. Her speed of practice is already very fast. She should not rush for success. What is needed in practice is to be steady and steady. Every step must be solid, stable and spiritual. Slowing down the speed of cultivation, striving to polish each realm to a solid level, and achieving natural breakthroughs is the best.
Lingchu's Taoist heart was calm again, and his mind was empty. The whole person seemed to have fallen into a wonderful state. The Tao Te Ching and the Qing Jing Sutra kept recurring in his mind. The moment of enlightenment made Lingchu the center. , spiritual energy within tens of meters of radius swarmed in and injected into Lingchu's body.
Lingchu's cultivation improved slowly and steadily at a speed visible to the naked eye. He soon reached the peak of the seventh level of Qi training, and was about to enter the eighth level of Qi training...
At this time, Lingchu's scalp felt numb, his back felt cold, and a chill rushed into his heart.
The strong sense of life and death crisis caused Lingchu, who was immersed in the magical realm, to wake up in an instant. The Qingling Shield automatically appeared behind Lingchu, and with a harsh clang, the Qingling Shield burst into bright blue light.
Jumping down from the tree, Lingchu raised his head to recall the Qingling Shield, pinched the magic formula with his hand, and the Qingling Shield swayed, turning one into three, surrounding Lingchu for defense.
The magic formula in his hand changed, and several green vines opened their teeth and claws and swung in the direction of the sneak attack flying sword.
A buzzing sound.
The golden flying sword that failed to hit flew back, and the golden sword energy on the sword surged, cutting off all the vines.
At the same time, around Lingchu, one after another, one petal after another, green leaves and green petals slowly emerged, lingering lightly around Lingchu's body.
Everything happened in just a few breaths. The flying sword came and went as fast as it came.
"I don't know which Taoist friend it is. Why should I be sneaky and sneak up on you? I might as well show up and see him."
Lingchu looked warily towards the direction where the flying sword disappeared, and shouted loudly, the spiritual power in his body surged.
In the mountain forest, apart from the whistling wind, it was so quiet that even the chirping of birds could not be heard.
There was a rustle among the branches and leaves, and the air for several meters around seemed to freeze.
After a long time, Lingchu heard a voice, gentle and with a slight smile.
"Fellow Daoist Yu, we are really destined."
