"Yes, I will let you go after I confirm that I am safe. But yes." Lu Xiaotian nodded in agreement, and then said, "But you'd better answer the questions I asked truthfully. If one day I find that the facts are different from what you answered, , that person was your fate before."
Through Lu Bifeng's mouth, I learned that the Situ family was a family of cultivators who had been staying in Liangzhou for more than a hundred years ago. There are five people in the Situ family. His leader, Situ Yong, has 40% Qi refinement and is the person with the highest cultivation level in the Situ family. The other person is the uncle of the deceased Situ Jing. His cultivation level is ominous, but he cannot exceed the third level of Qi refining. There is also a young disciple, Situ Ming, who is only at the first level of Qi Refining.
Later, the Situ family moved to a distant immortal city, Wangyue City, where there were thousands of immortal cultivators. In the middle and later stages of Qi refining, there are countless people in the Dzogchen realm.
It was also the first time that he learned that beyond the Qi Refining Stage, there was also the Foundation Building Stage, where he could fly with a sword, split mountains and rocks, and fly to the sky and escape from the earth. Monks who have reached the foundation building stage have a lifespan of two to three hundred years.
Lu Xiaotian was fascinated by what he heard. No one had ever trusted him before. Only then did he learn that immortal cultivators also have their own gathering place, Wangyue Immortal City! In addition to Wangyue City, there are some large sects that cultivate immortality in other places, and those sects are the masters of the world of immortality.
Families like the Situ family that occupy one state in a secular country can only be regarded as small and unpopular forces in the world of immortality, and there are countless them.
Lu Xiaotian asked again, "These people from the Situ family are immortal cultivators. Why do they interfere in the affairs of ordinary people? What good is it to them?"
"In a land of secular mortals, there are few spiritual objects produced. If they hadn't offended someone they shouldn't have offended in Wangyue City, the Situ family would not have fled back to their hometown in Liangzhou in embarrassment. Their family has a limited number of people and has no time to search for spiritual objects. , so in order to control the gangs in these rivers and lakes, look for spiritual herbs and spiritual stones for their own cultivation." Lu Bifeng said.
"So the dead Situ Jing came over immediately when he learned that I bought three purple spirit grasses from Miaozhitang?"
Lu Xiaotian suddenly realized that this made sense. The Situ family controlled the forces in the world and had many eyes and ears. If he appeared in Pingwu County, he would be easily discovered.
Lu Bifeng nodded and said, "Exactly!"
"This is the spiritual stone you are talking about. What does it do?" Lu Xiaotian thought of the spiritual stone in the storage bag and took out a red piece from it and asked.
"Yes, this is a low-grade fire spiritual stone. When fighting with others, the mana consumption is too fast. You can hold it in your hand to absorb its spiritual energy to replenish the mana consumption. In addition, it is necessary to refine some spiritual weapons and magic circles. Use spiritual stones."
Lu Bifeng said with a wry smile. She was now certain that the young man in front of her was just an ordinary cultivator who didn't even understand the most basic spiritual stones. She really didn't know how he became an immortal cultivator. What's even more bizarre is that he actually tamed a powerful leopard spirit beast. It's incredible.
"Vitality Pill!" Then something even more unimaginable happened to her. She opened her mouth for a long time and couldn't close it.
Lu Xiaotian touched his nose. At this time, he finally figured out what some of the things on his body were. The Vitality Pill was a pill used in the later stages of Qi Refining and the Great Perfection of Qi Refining. Monks in the early stage of Qi refining usually don't have many Qi gathering pills on hand. However, he was able to produce elixirs that could only be used in the later stage of Qi refining, which was naturally shocking enough for Lu Bifeng. If this woman knew that there were two other bottles of vitality pills in his storage bag, I don't know how she would react.
"Last question, how to get to Wangyue Fairy City?"
The woman in the red dress said, "From Liangzhou, all the way to the west, you have to pass through more than ten secular countries such as Wei, Wu, and Northern Zhou. The journey is far away, tens of thousands of miles away. But I want to remind you, look at the moon. Not everyone can go to Fairy City.”
"Why, is Wangyue Fairy City dangerous?" Lu Xiaotian asked puzzledly.
"Wangyue Immortal City is a gathering place for casual cultivators, and there are also some residences of some immortal cultivating sects. There are tens of thousands of casual cultivators living there, and the number of immortal cultivators who go in and out of the city is several times that. A person like you is at the first level of Qi Refining. The monks in the city can only do some of the lowest jobs in the city, and their status is only slightly higher than that of secular warriors. If they are not outstandingly qualified and are accepted by large sects, they may be able to accumulate spiritual stones by doing menial work for a lifetime. You can’t cultivate to a high level.”
"There are so many casual cultivators in Wangyue City, but they haven't joined the sect. Could it be that the casual cultivators can only do odd jobs and cannot stand out?" Lu Xiaotian said.
The woman in the red dress sneered, "There are naturally powerful people among casual cultivators. Many casual cultivators gather in Wangyue Immortal City because there are countless spiritual objects in the Wangyue Mountains near Wangyue Immortal City. Many casual cultivators are in the Wangyue Mountains. Look for spiritual objects to practice. However, there are countless monsters in the mountains, and other treasure-hunting monks often prey on others. A monk like you who is at the first level of Qi refining may become a monk in a few days. A pile of bones.”
After hearing what the woman in the red dress said, Lu Xiaotian had some thoughts in his mind. From the words spoken by the old man in black robe and the woman in red dress, as well as his experiences along the way, it all shows that the jungle of the world of immortality is dominated by the weak and the strong, and the competition is probably more intense than that of ordinary mortals. However, this did not affect his determination to pursue the avenue.
"Your spirit beast seemed to have come out of the storage bag on your body before. That bag belongs to me."
Lu Xiaotian reached out and took off the small bag of tips from the woman in the red dress. The first two times he entered Pingwu County, it was inconvenient to bring the leopard with him, so he asked the leopard to wait in the wilderness. However, through the battle with the young man in gold robe, he understood that his own combat power was insufficient. If there were no leopards, and he encountered the young man in gold robe in the city, he would have no choice but to run away, and I am afraid there would be no way to defeat him. And he, who doesn't understand magic, can't escape from the opponent's clutches.
Seeing that Lu Xiaotian only took her spirit beast bag, the woman in the red dress breathed a sigh of relief. If it had been a cruel person, she might not have been able to save her life. Although the young man in front of him was also decisive in killing, he was still trustworthy and had no intention of going back on his word. The demon-sniffing rat is now nowhere to be found. Apart from occasionally looking for people, it has no fighting power. If the boy in front of her takes away the spirit beast bag, the loss to her will not be big.
"When are you going to let me go?" the woman in the red dress asked the question she was most concerned about.
"When I think I'm safe enough, I will naturally let you go. For the time being, I'll force you to stay in the cave for a while."
Lu Xiaotian smiled lightly. According to the woman, if Situ Jing is dead, the Situ family will definitely search for the murderer all over the world. His father is a master in the middle stage of Qi refining. Even if he adds Hua Bao, he is no match for him. He is still in the mountains and forests for the time being. Wait for a while and wait for the wind to pass. At this time, he got the information he wanted. The martial arts conference that he had to go to was no longer important to him at this time. As for letting this woman out, his whereabouts may not be revealed. In short, it is necessary to be on guard against others.
Throwing the girl inside, Lu Xiaotian walked out of the cave happily, taking out the "Encyclopedia of Low-level Spells" and studying it carefully. He has been looking forward to practicing magic since he started practicing Hunyuan Jing, but it has only been nearly a year and a half since he came into contact with it.
According to the introduction in the Spell Encyclopedia, as long as you are a monk in the Qi Refining Stage, you can practice low-level spells, but it will be relatively faster to practice the corresponding spells according to your own attributes. It’s just that Lu Xiaotian doesn’t know which element of the Five Elements he belongs to.
Since the corresponding spells in the spell collection are faster to practice, you should be able to tell by learning them separately. Lu Xiaotian thought for a while and thought this way.
A moment later, a short golden spear appeared in front of Lu Xiaotian, and he stabbed at a big tree about ten feet away at a slanted speed.
Not to mention hitting the enemy at this speed, it is probably not easy to hit. Lu Xiaotian frowned and found that the golden spear technique he performed was much worse than the spells performed by the young man in gold robe and the old man in black robe.
Puzzled, he ran back to the cave to ask Lu Bifeng, and learned that he had to practice and become familiar with the magic before he could face the enemy. Lu Xiaotian's face turned red, thinking to himself that he hadn't even thought of this simplest truth just now. It was those warriors, a kind of Martial arts also need to be practiced hundreds of thousands of times before they become more familiar, and the same is naturally true for spells.
Lu Xiaotian repeatedly used the Golden Spear Technique several times. Although it was still not accurate enough and it took a long time to accumulate mana, it was already much stronger than the first time. He got excited about learning and was about to try other spells, but found that the vitality in his Dantian was almost exhausted.
Spells consume so much vitality. Lu Xiaotian was surprised. Thinking that Lu Bifeng said that the spiritual stone could help restore mana, Lu Xiaotian took out a golden spiritual stone from the storage bag and held it in his hand. As expected, a stream of pure golden spiritual energy poured into his body from the spiritual stone.
Lu Xiaotian was refreshed and couldn't hold back his hand for a moment. He repeatedly used the golden spear technique with strong attack power.
Jam! There was a low sound in his left hand. He lowered his head and saw that the spiritual stone that was shining with golden light before had now turned into dull powder and spilled out from between his fingers. A piece of low-grade gold spirit stone has been used up. Lu Xiaotian felt a pain in his body. It seemed that he would have to rely on meditation to regain his energy in the future. Otherwise, if he used the spirit stone like this, he would use it up soon. The effect of the spirit stone was so great, so it was better to save it for more important times.
In the next few days, Lu Xiaotian practiced using spells with great interest. But what surprised him was that the speed of the spells he practiced in the metal, wood, water, fire, and earth elements was actually the same, with only the ice, wind, and thunder spells being slower. When he told Lu Bifeng about this result, Lu Bifeng was extremely surprised, and looked at him sympathetically, saying that this kind of qualification was the lowest among the five miscellaneous spiritual roots. I'm afraid that no matter how hard you work in this life, you will be considered very good if you reach the late stage of Qi refining.
Only then did Lu Xiaotian remember what the old man in black robe said about his poor qualifications. It turned out that the old guy had known about it for a long time, but he just didn't tell him.
Lu Xiaotian felt a little frustrated, but he did not give up. His enthusiasm for cultivation was still as high as before. I practice various spells every day. When the energy in my Dantian is almost exhausted, I meditate to recover, day after day.
