The area where Su Fan is located, located in Yongzhou in the northeastern part of the Western Wilderness, is dotted with several mortal kingdoms.
The Shaoyang Sect is located in the Chu Kingdom, with an astonishingly large land area, larger than China in the previous life, and a population of hundreds of millions.
Chu State has very few spiritual veins and only has five small sects. Among them, the one with the highest level of cultivation is only the Foundation Builder.
What shocked him was that the other mortal kingdoms in Yongzhou were much larger than Chu.
And besides the Immortal Sect like Shaoyang Sect, there are also Demonic Sects in other places.
This travelogue was written by a casual cultivator. He had not even gone out to Chu State, so his vision of the world was just like that.
But there is some information between the lines.
Su Fan's biggest feeling was how big the world was.
In the next few days, Su Fan continued to lie down and recover from his injuries.
Before he was struck by lightning, his predecessor had bought wound medicine in the market to prepare for any eventuality. Now his injury has finally stabilized.
The originally fragmented body, the tattered internal organs, and the disordered meridians have almost recovered.
Even though it looks like a mummy, it's actually just some skin trauma.
It's just that the bandage has stuck to the skin, and it will hurt to death if it is torn off now.
Just keep wrapping it around your body and slowly peel it off after the scabs form.
After all, it is a wound medicine that is only available in Xiuzhenfang City.
The effects of "Tianji Xugu Paste" and "Longhu Zaixuan Powder" are like miracles compared with those Chinese and Western medicines in previous lives.
Those who suffered such serious injuries in the mortal world would have been buried long ago.
Although the injury was almost healed, Su Fan didn't want to go out.
This world is quite chaotic. Apart from Kung Fu, he doesn't even know a single self-defense spell, so how can he dare to go out?
Su Fan organized his belongings.
Twelve talismans.
A rusty magic sword.
Six tattered old books.
A large pile of fishy-smelling animal skins and bones.
Dozens of ingots of worldly gold.
There are also his last family assets, six spiritual stones and dozens of magic coins.
The spirit stone is only about the size of a thumb, with a pure and flawless surface. Its halo is as clear and translucent as glass, as if it is surrounded by a clear spring flowing.
The Dharma money is about the same size as a normal copper coin. It is made from the leftover materials of cutting spiritual stones, and the spiritual energy in it is thin and scattered.
Dharma money is only circulated among the lower-level casual cultivators, and sect disciples disdain to use it.
In addition to these, the living supplies include more than half a jar of spiritual rice, a pile of firewood, and half a jar of pickles.
Su Fan lamented in his heart, after practicing for twenty years, he only managed to save so little wealth. It was really...
"The future is worrying..."
He brought over several tattered books and leafed through them.
"Detailed Explanation of Spells in the Early Stage of Qi Refining", "Collection of Baicao", "Monster Spectrum", "Heng Lian Body Strengthening Technique", "True Explanation of First-Level Talisman", "Miscellaneous Theory of Weapon Refining".
The most urgent thing is to learn a few spells to defend yourself first.
Su Fan picked up "Detailed Explanation of Spells in the Early Stage of Qi Refining" and was quite disappointed after reading it.
There are not many spells in the early stages of Qi training, and they are all auxiliary. There are no attack or protective spells at all.
He originally thought that monks' fighting skills consisted of fireballs and wind blades being thrown outwards, or magic weapons and magic weapons flying all over the sky.
After reading this book, Su Fan knew that he had thought too much.
In the early stages of Qi training, monks have weak spiritual consciousness and cannot control magic weapons at all. They do not have much magic power and cannot use attack or protective spells.
The main means of fighting, apart from using talismans, is to slash each other with magic swords.
How can this be an immortal? A fight in the underworld is pretty much the same.
Su Fan took out more than a dozen talismans from the storage bag. Each talisman was more than three inches long and one inch wide, and was made of two materials: talisman skin and talisman paper.
Except for a "talisman", the rest are not very good.
It is said to be a body protection, but in fact it is just a low-grade talisman that can only protect against worldly swords and arrows.
The three "divine walking talismans" are used to rush on the road.
The three "Rejuvenation Talismans" are used for healing.
There are also three "silent notes" hidden secretly.
There are two "evil-proofing charms" left, and I don't know what they are used for.
Could it be used to deal with ghosts?
It's better to learn a few more auxiliary spells to provide as much protection as possible.
"Light Body Technique" is a magic method for escaping one's life. This must be learned.
"Qi-watching technique" can observe the flow of spiritual energy. It may seem like nothing, but it is actually very useful.
"Spirit Concealment Technique", a concealment and hiding technique, must be learned.
That’s it, bit off more than you can chew.
Then go to the market to find a secular swordsmanship for close combat, and that's about it.
In the final analysis, the cultivation level is still too low.
A young monk on the second level of Qi training can only be bullied wherever he goes.
Su Fan took a deep breath and began to study several spells attentively.
Surprisingly, as soon as I started studying the "Light Body Art", I had more insights about the spells and memories of practicing and casting them in my mind.
He suppressed his excitement and continued to study the next two spells.
The results were very gratifying, and the memories of "Qi Watching Technique" and "Spirit Concealment Technique" also appeared in his mind.
After reciting the mantra, my body suddenly felt lighter. I jumped forward slightly and entered the kitchen.
The distance of four to five meters was covered in one step.
[Light body skill +1]
He walked out of the house, jumped up slightly, lifted his body up from the ground, and jumped onto the roof lightly.
[Light body skill +1]
Su Fan suppressed the urge to be Peter Pan and forced himself to calm down.
The spells in the early stage of Qi training are so awesome, but the wind control techniques that can be learned in the middle stage are so powerful.
Thinking of this, Su Fan couldn't help but yearn for the future.
After all, he is an immortal. Any auxiliary spell is so shocking to mortals.
Knead the secrets again and recite the mantra to circulate the spiritual power.
[Qi-gazing +1]
The scene changed instantly, the whole world turned black and white, and mist of air of different colors floated between the sky and the earth.
On Shaoyang Mountain in the distance, the bright aura was dazzling, and that was the direction of the Shaoyang Sect's mountain-protecting formation.
Next, he tried the Spirit Concealment Technique again, and completed it very easily.
Three spells in succession opened Su Fan's eyes.
This is the world of cultivation.
No wonder countless casual cultivators would rather suffer hardships in Shaoyang Paifang City than return to mortal society.
You know, even if a monk is in the early stage of Qi training, he will at least be a first-class person when he returns to the mortal realm.
After sighing with emotion, Su Fan opened the panel, and the data of the three spells appeared.
【Name】Su Fan
【Yangshou】36/92 years old
[Realm] Qi training level 2: 99/100
【Gong method】
1. Hunyuan Gong (first level): 22/100.
2. Horizontal body training (level 2): 45/200
3. Heavenly Demon Holy Body Technique (Level 1): 100/100
【Spell】
1. Qi-gazing (beginner): 1/100
2. Light Body Technique (Introduction): 2/100
3. Spirit Concealment (Introduction): 1/100
The auxiliary spells in the early stage of Qi training are relatively simple and consume very little mana.
Coupled with the memory, practicing several spells is like divine help.
Through continuous efforts, he mastered the three spells to a small degree in just two days.
But after completing the skill, the progress bar of spell proficiency doubled, and it was not as fast as when starting.
Now that you have mastered three spells, it's time to go to the market.
In addition to replenishing some daily necessities, he also acquired a sword skill.
By the way, you also need to buy some middle-grade attack and protection talismans.
Middle-grade talismans are often very expensive, but they can’t be bothered.
Without any means to save his life, he couldn't even sleep well.
Su Fan sighed and took off the storage bag from his waist. No matter how reluctant he was to part with it, he could only exchange it for the spirit stone.
It’s only been a few days since I got it, and it’s gone before I even warmed it up.
The next morning, Su Fan got up at dawn.
After arranging the things, he picked up the package and the magic sword, then opened the door and walked out of the house.
In the early morning, the pattering autumn rain was like a layer of mist, covering the hazy rainy Shaoyang Mountain.
The sky was gray and the ground was muddy.
Some fallen leaves fell into it, making a slight squeaking sound when stepped on.
The undulating mountains in the distance are the main peak of Shaoyang Mountain that stretches for thousands of miles.
Misty clouds and mist lingered in it, making it appear hazy.
Fangshi was built at the foot of the mountain, and the Shaoyang Sect was on the mountain, surrounded by a huge mountain-protecting formation.
Although the Shaoyang Sect with thousands of people is just a small sect.
But Shaoyangfang City still attracted nearly ten thousand casual cultivators.
Because there is only one spiritual vein in a radius of thousands of miles.
Countless chaotic shantytowns are dotted around Fangshi.
There are densely packed self-built huts in one area after another, crowded together in a messy manner and packed to the brim.
Dilapidated and low shacks, muddy and potholed roads, and overflowing sewage.
The air was filled with a strong rancid smell, and you could step on fresh feces and urine if you weren't careful.
From time to time, there are people on both sides of the road holding chamber pots and skillfully pouring them into the ditches on the roadside.
It didn't take long for the fresh air, the fragrance of earth, and the night fragrance that permeated everywhere to gradually merge together.
Although the Shaoyang Law Enforcement Team patrols day and night, and each shantytown has a self-organized escort team, the security situation is still extremely poor.
Bandit cultivators are desperadoes, and they will hide in dense shantytowns like hungry wolves.
If you are not careful and expose your wealth outside, you may suffer misfortunes.
In fact, among the nearly 10,000 casual cultivators here, few are peaceful.
There are countless corpses buried in the surrounding mountains. Most of them died due to fights between monks.
Most casual cultivators have a hard time, and even for a few spiritual stones, there are many people who choose to take desperate risks.
Su Fan was wearing a bamboo hat and a washed-white cyan robe, staggering forward in the drizzle.
I was nervous all the way, for fear of getting into unnecessary trouble.
Fortunately, although it is chaotic here, it is fine during the day, and most dangers occur at night.
He is just a low-level repairman, and he looks like a poor guy at first glance.
As long as he doesn't go out at night, no one will waste time trying to figure him out.
As we approached Fangshi, there were more monks on the road.
Occasionally, he could see a few monks wielding flying swords whizzing past his head, causing waves of exclamations.
Fangshi is in a town with only one main street and numerous shops on both sides.
There are stalls along the street with a wide variety of products.
In addition to various cultivation resources, secular vegetables and fruits, seasonings and pickles, dried fruit cakes, and rouge gouache can all be purchased here.
According to worldly standards, these products are extremely expensive. The stall owner doesn't even want gold, but only French money.
Most of the stall owners and buyers are casual cultivators, and they will spend a long time for a few dharma coins.
There are no mortals living around Fang City, and the disciples of the Shaoyang Sect who have no spiritual roots are all living in the secular world.
He followed the flow of people while shopping on the main street, constantly going in and out of various shops.
Su Fan had nothing to buy. He was inspecting the market and trying to find a business suitable for him.
He has no ambitions and is not willing to take risks, let alone fight and kill every day.
I just want to be a peaceful life player.
Earn a little money, stay in your hut, and practice quietly.
