Gu Dan cultivated for more than a month before finally walking out of the cave.
After more than a month passed, the story about his deeds should have cooled down a little. Even if he was mentioned, it should be a sign of appreciation for Huang Chao's ambition.
Everyone has their own things to be busy with, so it's impossible to think about him all the time.
Wandering towards the yellow-level area, using some spiritual rice given by Lin Cheng as initial capital, Gu Dan finally came to the territory that truly belonged to the practitioners.
At a glance, there are much fewer 'fields' here, but the concentration of spiritual energy has more than doubled!
Although there is a limit for monks to absorb spiritual energy, the thin concentration of spiritual energy in the mortal level area seems to be too limited to even supply low-grade spiritual root cultivation.
The yellow-level area finally has some of the appearance of the imaginary world of immortality.
The flow of people here is much thinner, and you can hardly see the people farming here. At least you won’t doubt whether you have strayed into a large farmland - everyone has gone to the yellow-level area after all the hard work, and they continue to work. Farming cattle for horses?
Even if you really don’t have the talent to practice the various arts of immortality and work hard to absorb spiritual energy here, as long as you can reach the middle stage of Qi training and think of ways to condense spiritual stones, you can earn more than farming!
In other words, monks who have the ability to take root here actually already have the potential to be exploiters. Although the hard work is equally hard, the rewards are much better than in ordinary areas.
But those Kuhaha in the mortal level area must try their best to complete the initial accumulation and successfully jump to the yellow level area before they can find another way.
Repeating this cycle over and over again, even though he will be exploited by Ningfang for many years, even fifty years, it is not impossible to start serious cultivation of immortality in his sixties.
After all, it's not like you can't practice cultivation in the mortal area, it's just a few hundred million points slower.
After fifty years, it's almost time to reach the middle stage of Qi training. Just in time to complete the initial accumulation and come to the yellow level area to bully the people in the mortal level area.
If the matryoshka goes on like this, why worry about Ningfang being unstable?
Even if it's really unstable, what's the law enforcement hall doing for food?
Gu Dan didn't look around too much. If things went well, he would have plenty of time to look around.
Law enforcement is official.
"Kong Zhai, come here to pay a visit to Hall Master Huang Chao upon invitation."
After arriving at the Law Enforcement Hall, Gu Dan cupped his fists and saluted, and said to the monk who was sitting at the gate and drinking wine happily.
"Oh? Are you Kong Zhai?"
Upon hearing this, the monk glanced at Gu Dan for a moment with curious eyes, and said with a smile: "Good boy, I have also heard about your deeds. Over the years, during the competition, you are the first one who dares to burn flesh and blood against the foundation-building monk. Although the person who made the move was not successful, his courage is quite commendable!"
The monk must be quite old, but his aura is still vigorous, so he must be a very senior master.
The lifespan limit of a master is one hundred and twenty years old, while the lifespan limit of a Qi practitioner is one hundred and fifty years old.
When a grandmaster turns to the path of immortality, his lifespan will certainly not be directly superimposed, but it will still be slightly higher than that of ordinary people. The limit of lifespan is about one hundred and sixty years old - this is the highest record among the six immortals. Those who are close to this number can only bite the bullet. Forcefully rush to build the foundation, there is no choice.
When people reach their twilight years, even ordinary people will be inspired by it, and monks naturally know it even more clearly. If they don’t try to break through to a higher level before they die, will they have to wait for death in peace?
"Junior is indeed a bit reckless."
Gu Dan said very gently and politely.
"Hey, why are you so docile now?"
The monk laughed.
"After seeing the strength of the foundation-building monks, I can't help but be convinced."
Gu Dan shrugged slightly and said helplessly.
"Hahahaha, that's interesting."
After the monk laughed, he finally said: "My name is Lu Yu, and I am already one hundred and thirty years old. If you call me "Senior", there is no difference."
Lu Yu stood up, found another wine glass, and poured a glass for Gu Dan, "Since we have come to the Law Enforcement Hall, we are a family. Come, have a drink."
"Thank you, senior."
Gu Dan followed the good example and took the cup, which was no bigger than the belly of his thumb, and drank it all in one gulp.
The strong alcohol enters the throat and is extremely hot.
When the wine slid down the throat and into the abdomen, the whole body immediately became hot, followed by a rather pure spiritual power rippling in the body. Even the qi and blood were slightly affected and became more vigorous. It felt so comfortable all over.
Gu Dan was a little surprised, but he never thought that he could just buy a glass of spiritual wine for free.
It seems that the relationship between the Taoist friends in this law enforcement hall is pretty good, and it is not as scary as the rumors outside.
"This wine is called Chijiang. It is made from spiritual rice and various medicines. It can not only feed back some pure spiritual energy, but also invigorate the blood. Since you have burned your flesh and blood, you might as well exchange it for some when you get your salary to heal your injuries. You can also practice at the same time.”
Lu Yu warned.
"Junior, remember this."
Gu Dan became more and more pleased with Lu Yu.
If the world of cultivators was full of people like this, that would be too much for him.
"Let's go, I'll take you to see the hall master."
Lu Yu waved his hand and walked at the front.
When he came to an area really close to the Buzhou Mountains, Gu Dan immediately discovered something different.
Here, the aura belonging to the formation is no longer looming, but at full power, clearly telling others not to trespass here, otherwise there will be disaster.
Even if it collapses, it still seems like a paradise unknown to outsiders hangs under the Buzhou Mountains, which are connected to the sky and the earth.
Gu Dan looked around and saw that if the ordinary-level area was a large stack of farmland, and the yellow-level area was more like a combination of villages and towns, then this was a real luxury area.
The cave here is finally no longer petty. It is built next to the cave opened on the Buzhou Mountains. Even the exposed areas are planted with exotic flowers and plants, which are pleasing to the eye. The lingering fragrance curls up, and there is a vague feeling. A little fairy style.
"This is the real core of Xianfang, a prefecture-level area. However, if nothing happens here, you can't just come and wander around."
Lu Yu reminded: "The people who can live here are either extremely talented people or people who have made great contributions to the Immortal Fang. If you want to rely on spiritual stones to buy the cave here, I'm afraid you are dreaming."
After getting really close to the prefecture-level area, Lu Yu took out a spiritual talisman and wrote a line of words on it very quickly.
[Lu Yu and Kong Zhai came to visit the leader of Huang Chao Hall]
After the handwriting was finished, the talisman spontaneously ignited without fire.
After a while, two auras of light from the formation in front of them suddenly flew toward them.
Gu Dan subconsciously wanted to hide, but seeing Lu Yu's indifferent expression, he suppressed his thoughts.
Sure enough, after the spiritual light fell on him, the formation in front of him seemed to ignore them and gradually disappeared.
"There are spiritual formations everywhere here. Although they may not cause any fatal harm to us, once the spiritual formations are activated, they will be regarded as an enemy invasion and we will not be able to survive."
While talking, the two of them had already stepped into it.
As soon as he entered, Gu Dan noticed the difference.
The spiritual energy here is probably at least ten to twenty times that of the mortal level area!
Even if he didn't activate the technique, let alone activate the Aoki Liquid, the spiritual energy could slowly seep into his body. Although the speed was extremely slow, it was genuine!
“The aura content here”
Gu Dan spoke at the right time.
"This is it."
Lu Yu curled his lips and said, "Are you jealous? Even ordinary people, if they can live here, it is not a luxury to live a hundred years. They may even be able to practice their own qi before they die!"
This time Gu Dan didn't answer.
The concentration of spiritual energy in the prefecture-level area far exceeded his expectations.
The defenses are so tight, I'm afraid they are very close to the source of spiritual energy.
Only that place is the real place of creation.
As for the outside, they are just eating leftover scraps to cultivate immortality.
The gap is huge, of course.
While talking, the two of them didn't waste any time.
Walking to a cave, the door of the cave opened by itself.
Huang Chao walked out with his head held high.
"Meet the Hall Master."
"Greetings to Hall Master Huang Chao."
The two of them took the lead in greeting each other.
"You are Welcome."
Huang Chao didn't show off, but looked at Gu Dan with some surprise and said, "You came much faster than I thought."
Back in the ring, although he did not use genuine killing techniques, he did not hold back and showed off the power of a foundation-building monk.
It was a big deal that Gu Dan could still hold on to his feet, so he gave him a high look and was willing to help.
It's almost impossible to burn flesh and blood and take a foundation-building blow without cultivating for a few months.
"I don't dare to keep Hall Master Huang Chao waiting."
Gu Dan said with his hands raised.
"If you're polite, there's no need to say it."
Huang Chao raised his brows and said slightly dissatisfied: "Since you dare to take action against me, you are not a person who is willing to be inferior to others. Don't lose your own morale."
"."
Gu Dan was speechless for a moment.
Why, you still want me to come over and give you a slap in the face?
Fortunately, Huang Chao then said: "This is your law enforcement token, and your monthly salary is two spiritual stones. Since you are injured, you can wait until you are fully recovered before fulfilling your obligations at the law enforcement hall. .
If there is something that needs to be dealt with, you can ask the people around you. Every six months there will be a sermon inside the Law Enforcement Hall. You can also ask about questions about practice. Practice diligently and don’t slack off! "
After warning like this, Huang Chao waved his hand and said, "Go back and practice."
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and left.
Gu Dan was left alone standing there, slightly bewildered.
Is this the end?
"Haha, what are you doing in a daze? This is our hall master. He is outspoken and generous."
Lu Yu patted Gu Dan on the shoulder and said with great admiration: "There are many foundation-building monks now, but the one I admire the most is our hall master!"
"Oh? Please elaborate."
Gu Dan showed curiosity at the right time.
What he knew about the Huang Dynasty was all composed of the marks that stirred up wind and rain during the big moon.
Although I have never met Huang Chao, I have the impression in my mind that this person is an ambitious and lawless man. But now it seems that it is a little different.
"When Hallmaster Huang Chao first came to Xianfang, he was just an ordinary master. But his boldness and carefulness are far beyond ordinary people. He is almost unique in being able to have a low-grade spiritual root and dare to advance to foundation building before the limit of his lifespan."
Lu Yu said with emotion: "When talking about the experience of Hall Master Huang Chao, we have to mention why Ningfang exists."
To put it simply, Huang Chao rushed to the Buzhou Mountains and was already quite old when he heard the news about cultivating immortals.
If you have the qualifications of the following spiritual roots and follow the rules of the Immortal Workshop and practice diligently, you may not have a chance to build a foundation until you die.
then what should we do?
Huang Chao chose to take a gamble.
After he reached the early stage of Qi training, he stopped practicing and started running around in the Buzhou Mountains.
After all, who said there can only be five sources of spiritual energy in the Buzhou Mountains?
After spending more than ten years, he actually found another source of spiritual energy!
With the help of that source of spiritual energy, Huang Chao made up for his lost years of practice and even successfully built a foundation.
But after the foundation is established, the source of spiritual energy is not that easy to use. It would be a waste to continue to hold on to it.
So I found fellow Taoists and jointly founded Ningfang!
Although he is not the master of the workshop, the reason why this fairy workshop was born is still because of him.
“Only with great courage can you have great opportunities!”
After hearing about Huang Chao's deeds here, Gu Dan also looked surprised.
It's really not easy to have the courage to gamble more than ten years of life on a vague hope when you don't have much life left.
Even if many people know that their lifespan is short, they may not be able to break through the foundation building before they die if they practice steadily. But how many more years can they live? How many people will be as tireless as Huang Chao?
If the source of spiritual energy was so easy to discover, I'm afraid it would have been discovered long ago!
Most people, I'm afraid they really can't make up their mind to make a desperate move.
"Who says it isn't?"
Lu Yu shrugged.
As the true founder of this immortal workshop, Hall Master Huang Chao can even resign his position as the workshop leader. How many people can do it or are willing to do it?
The Immortal Way is not just about fighting and killing, there are more things to consider.
"Master Huang Chao is extremely generous. He will reward you if you have merit, and punish you if you make mistakes. If you are capable, you will be promoted, and if you are incompetent, you will be demoted. You and I are lucky to be able to follow him."
It is not difficult to see that Lu Yu really admired Huang Chao and praised him endlessly. Moreover, he was not deliberately flattering, he was clearly sincere.
"Since you have joined the Law Enforcement Hall, you must not lose the prestige of the Law Enforcement Hall. Recuperate your injuries quickly and practice hard again. Before you came, the worst thing about the Law Enforcement Hall was that you were a master and had the strength of the middle to late stage of Qi training. , but you can’t fall too far behind.”
The two came to a cave. Lu Yu called someone to bring him tokens, uniforms, and even half a year's salary advanced to him, and warned him again: "Practice diligently!"
"yes."
After taking these things and watching Lu Yu leave, Gu Dan walked into the new cave with the token, feeling full of emotions.
He did almost nothing and got the right to live in a yellow-level cave - this was the benefit of the Law Enforcement Hall. How could such competition not be fierce?
Not only that, but there are also twelve spiritual stones that have been paid in advance, which is very humane considering that he is currently strapped for money and is extremely short of start-up capital.
You must know that when he overthrew the Chamber of Commerce of All Nations, he only gained ten yuan!
"The end of the universe is indeed the establishment!"
Gu Dan's eyes were filled with brilliance.
With such good conditions, what else is there to say?
Once the gate of the cave is closed, practice begins!
Time flies, and it is three years.
The eighty-second year of Xianlin.
There were some slight fluctuations in the cave where Gu Dan was.
A little aura began to glow around him.
Along with his breathing, those spiritual lights flowed like ribbons surrounding his body, becoming one and the same, regardless of each other.
And the spiritual energy around them is swarming in, like a pilgrimage, at a speed that is jaw-dropping.
At a certain moment, Gu Dan suddenly opened his eyes.
Two bright lights suddenly appeared and then disappeared in the air.
"Three years, the middle stage of Qi training"
