The only way

Chapter 26 Sneak Attack
Tianyuan City is located in the far east of Chen State, separated by eleven countries. It is the first and largest city in charge of monks at the junction of Jiuming State's cultivation world and the ordinary world where Chen State is located.

It has always been the place where Jiumingzhou opened the immortal gate and recruited disciples.

Every state in the five prefectures of the Eastern Continent has such a city. As the location for accepting disciples of the Eastern Continent Immortal Sect in each prefecture, the major sects have set up a ten-year apprenticeship conference. Those who know a little bit about it, swarm to fight for that little fairy fate. And to.

Every time there are tens of thousands of people participating in the conference, however, less than one hundred people can successfully enter the fairy gate.

When Lingchu returned to Fuchun Tower, he was still thinking about the Tianyuan City that Zhang Wen mentioned.

The old Taoist asked himself to go to Tianyuan City, presumably it was for the disciple acceptance meeting of various immortal sects.

According to Zhang Wen, the next meeting for recruiting apprentices will be in four years.

At the speed of a monk practicing qi, it would take three years at the fastest to cross the eleven countries, but it would take at least five years for a mortal.

Chen Guo is a group of countries that are far away from Tianyuan City. The way forward is unknown. In order to allow time to prepare for accidents, Lingchu had to leave early. The original plan to stay with Huanniang for ten days and a half months was a last resort. cancelled.

During the five days of staying in Antang City, Lingchu met Zhang Wen again in that restaurant in order to inquire about the news of Tianyuan City and the way to go there.

During the period, the two also exchanged some cultivation experience.

It's quite a pleasure to get along with.

Five days later, Lingchu bid farewell to Huanniang again, but this time, Huang Li and Meizi were also sending Lingchu off.

Two years later, Lingchu had experienced life and death, and was still very sad about parting, but he was able to wave goodbye with a smile.

After leaving Antang City, Lingchu didn't take the water route. The river transport in Chen country is very developed, but it runs through the north and the south. Lingchu wants to go east. If he doesn't take a detour, he needs to cross the mountains and forests.

As a monk in the late stage of Qi training, Lingchu is really not very afraid of going through the mountains alone.

The mountain to the east of Antang City is called Qingshan. It is the largest mountain in the vicinity. The vegetation on the mountain is verdant, with luxuriant branches and leaves. Walking in it, the branches and leaves above the head feel like huge dark clouds, covering the blue sky.

Lingchu leaped and walked lightly among the mountains and forests, and climbed more than half of it when night fell with ease.

Picking a tall tree at random, Lingchu lightly jumped, sat cross-legged on the branch, closed his eyes and breathed like a rock, although Lingchu was confident that he was not afraid of wild beasts, but he did not dare to completely relax and sink into the wild. practice.

So I spent the night in a state of half-cultivation.

Instead of using the food that had been prepared in the storage bracelet, Lingchu killed a pheasant, happily plucked the feathers to remove the internal organs, washed it with water, and took out various seasonings from the storage bracelet to marinate it evenly. Then take out fresh shiitake mushrooms, green onions, ginger, ham, and spring bamboo shoots and stuff them into the belly of the pheasant. Finally, take out wild honey and spread a layer evenly on the skin of the pheasant, then wrap it with two layers of lotus leaves, a thick layer Put the mud into the pit dug long ago and filled with firewood and dead leaves.

The last fireball casts fire.

perfect!

While nibbling wild fruits, Lingchu patiently waited for the beggar chicken to come out of the oven.

Satisfied with the roasted Yu's Beggar Chicken, which was charred on the outside and tender on the inside, Lingchu put away the fire, making sure that there was no trace of flame left that would cause a fire. Then he held a big lotus leaf and continued Climb the mountain and hurry.

Although as a monk, his tolerance to cold and heat has improved a lot, and he is not easy to get tanned, but Lingchu still likes to shade himself from the sun and enjoy the cool air.

After all, traveling alone is already very boring, and it is boring not to find some facts for yourself.

After driving for three days in a row, Lingchu had completely penetrated into the green mountain, and after two or three days of walking, he could go out of the mountain. Apart from the mountain, he was at the east of Chen country.

If you take the official road or detour by water, it will take at least half a month.

Crossing mountains and ridges can save half the time.

Moreover, for wood-type monks like Lingchu, the aura of heaven and earth in the mountains and forests is much richer and more active.

late at night.

As always, Lingchu, who was breathing on the tree, was a little depressed. Since she stepped into the seventh level of Qi Refining, her cultivation speed has slowed down a lot. Calculated at this speed, she would have to spend at least a small amount of time 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 will increase a lot. I don't know if she can successfully break through to Dzogchen four years later.

Not to mention reaching the twelfth level of Qi training recorded in the exercises.

Guard against arrogance and impetuosity, and be as calm as water.

The trace of irritability in Lingchu's heart only surfaced under the influence of the Qingjing Sutra, and it disappeared completely.

According to the old Taoist words, it is not a good thing to practice too fast. Her cultivation speed is already very fast, so don't rush for success. What you need to practice is to be steady and steady. Slow down the speed of cultivation, strive to polish every realm firmly, and the natural breakthrough is the best.

Lingchu, who has regained tranquility, has a clear mind, and his mind is empty. The whole person seems to have fallen into a wonderful state. In his mind, the Tao Te Ching and Qing Jing Sutras appear repeatedly. , the spiritual power with a radius of tens of meters swarmed in and poured into Lingchu's body.

Lingchu's cultivation was slowly and steadily improving at a speed visible to the naked eye, and soon reached the peak of the seventh level of Qi training, and was about to enter the eighth level of Qi training
At this moment, Lingchu's scalp tingled, his back felt cold, and a chill shot through his heart.

The strong sense of life and death crisis woke up Lingchu, who was immersed in the wonderful realm, and the Qingling Shield automatically appeared behind Lingchu.

Jumping down from the tree, Lingchu raised his head and recalled the Qingling Shield, pinched the formula with his hands, and the Qingling Shield flickered, turning one into three, surrounding Lingchu's defense.

As soon as the tactic in his hand changed, several green vines flung their teeth and claws towards the direction of the flying sword that was flying.

humming sound.

The golden flying sword that could not be hit with one blow flew back backwards, and the golden sword energy on the sword body surged, cutting off all the vines.

At the same time, around Lingchu, one piece after another, one petal after another, blue leaves and cyan petals slowly emerged, lingering around Lingchu lightly.

Everything happened within a few breaths, the flying sword came and went quickly.

"I don't know which fellow daoist it is, why sneak around and sneak up on me, why not show up and see."

Lingchu looked vigilantly at the direction where Feijian disappeared, and shouted, the spiritual power in his body surged.

In the mountains and forests, apart from the whistling wind, it was so quiet that not even the chirping of birds could be heard.

There was a rustling sound among the branches and leaves, and the air in a radius of several meters seemed to freeze.

After a long time, Lingchu heard a voice, gentle and smiling.

"Friend Yu Daoist, we are really destined."
