Starting from Scavengers to Cultivate Immortals

Chapter 28 Discovery Tracking
……

The three of Xu Chen naturally didn't know that as soon as the Resurrection Tree bloomed, the Great Elder ran to Yuqing Palace to ask the master to prepare for alchemy.

Of course, the people in Yuqing Palace didn't even know that the Resurrection Tree was indeed a reincarnation before death, and it completely withered after a few days of reflection.

Right now, I still don't know what kind of mood the Great Elder will feel when he sees the Huan Hunmu dead after returning home, and whether he will have the urge to hang himself and be buried.

However, these had nothing to do with Xu Chen and the others. They were able to get three bottles of Xiaoyuan Pills after shopping around the street. For their poor and smoky state, they were as excited as timely rain.

Even Brother Ninth, who has always been full of disdain for Yuqing Palace, kept feeling the demeanor of the famous sect. He is indeed a model in the fairy world, a true love in the world, and worthy of his flattery.

Three bottles of Xiaoyuan Pills are worth ten spirit stones.

What's more, the alchemists in Yuqing Palace are more skilled. The quality of these small yuan pills is obviously much better than those refined by the three elders, and they can be clearly distinguished only by their color and breath.

Brother Jiu smiled and said: "It seems that in the future, I will go to Zhenbao Pavilion a few more times when I have time, and maybe I can buy a few more bottles of pills for free."

Zhao Xuan spat and said angrily: "Brother, you are a fairy, can you stop acting like a hooligan?"

Brother Ninth said righteously: "How can a man turn his back on what he says, no!"

Zhao Xuan pinched Brother Jiu's arm with her hand. When the two were fighting, Xu Chen's footsteps suddenly stopped for a while.

"Junior brother, what happened?" Zhao Xuan stopped sharply and asked in a low voice.

Xu Chen let go of his spiritual sense and searched the area within a hundred feet, but found nothing, so he quickly withdrew his spiritual sense and sent a voice transmission to Senior Brother Jiu and Zhao Xuan:

"Just now I felt a breath of spiritual consciousness, but it disappeared in an instant."

Zhao Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "There are quite a few cultivators in the capital, and there are more immortal cultivators celebrating the emperor's birthday. Maybe someone passing by accidentally releases his consciousness to investigate the environment."

Xu Chen shook his head, and said with a serious face: "I am a little familiar with this divine sense. When I left Wuyang late at night, I discovered this divine sense. I just thought it was an illusion, but I discovered it again today, so it must not be true. Misunderstanding."

Brother Ninth's expression suddenly became solemn when he heard it, and he said through voice transmission with his spiritual sense: "Young brother thinks he is from the Ziyang sect?"

Xu Chen nodded slightly.

The lively emotions of the three of them calmed down in an instant, and Zhao Xuan wondered: "This is a little strange. This person followed us in Wuyang, why he followed us all the way to the capital without making a move is too strange."

Brother Jiu thought for a while and seemed to relax a lot, and said: "It seems that the opponent's strength is not very strong, and we have killed a companion in the real yuan state, and he must be a little scared, so follow and monitor us all the way. It’s looking for another opportunity to make a move.”

Xu Chen roughly understood, so he breathed a sigh of relief: "Then what should we do now?"

Brother Jiu said: "I'm not afraid of thieves stealing, but I'm afraid of thieves thinking about it. Since we have discovered it, we will naturally find it and kill it."

Zhao Xuan said: "I'm afraid it's not easy. Junior brother discovered the opponent's consciousness twice, but you and I didn't. It shows that the opponent's strength is also very strong, at least at the real yuan level. Even if we find it, the three of us will probably deal with it." No, if it wasn't for the attack of the younger brother's spiritual consciousness last time, we might all be dead."

Brother Jiu gritted his teeth and said, "Then we need to think more about it. Since he was timid and didn't do it directly, it means that his strength should not be stronger than that of the last time. In addition, he didn't help last time, which shows that his mind is not very pure."

Xu Chen asked suspiciously, "Brother, you mean this guy wants to swallow the elixir?"

Ninth Senior Brother bared his teeth and said with a smile: "That's natural. Now that the treasure is present, it's not that brothers from the same sect can't betray it."

Xu Chen subconsciously took two steps back and looked at Senior Brother Ninth with vigilance.

Ninth Senior Brother was suddenly embarrassed, touched the back of his head and said with a dry smile: "Don't worry, Junior Brother, our Senior Brothers from Taiyuan Sect have deep feelings and will definitely sacrifice their lives to save each other."

Zhao Xuan lightly kicked Senior Brother Nine and said, "When are you still joking? This person is good at concealing his spiritual sense, but it's not easy to find out."

The Ninth Master said seriously: "That's true. It seems that to find this guy, I have to take action from my junior brother. Your spiritual consciousness is stronger than ours."

Xu Chen smiled wryly and said, "As long as he really appears, I may be able to find him, but he is very careful, his consciousness is fleeting every time, and he is not within a hundred feet, so I can't track him at all."

Speaking of which, Xu Chen released his consciousness to scan the distance of Baizhang carefully again, and then said via voice transmission: "In addition, I am worried that they already know about the blood god grass, so this matter must be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise the night will have long dreams."

Brother Jiu and Zhao Xuan looked at each other, then nodded together, the three of them exchanged a few words with spiritual sense, and then left quickly.

After feeling being followed, the three of them suddenly became vigilant, and they stopped shopping altogether, and went straight back to the inn.

Although he got three bottles of Xiaoyuan Pill by accident in Zhenbao Pavilion and made a fortune out of thin air, he felt refreshed for a while, but after the refreshment, he felt even more disappointed.

Taiyuanmen can be regarded as a respectable immortal dojo in the Song Dynasty. In the eyes of casual cultivators and mortals, it is a superior existence, but compared with the rich and powerful Yuqing Palace, it is completely like a chicken and a dog. It is not a shabby one. .

Even when the three of them looked at the three bottles of Xiaoyuan Pill again at this time, they felt as sad as if they were being given away by beggars, and the previous excitement was gone.

Zhenbao Pavilion is just a business in the mortal world at the outer gate of Yuqing Palace. Although the things inside are considered precious, they are actually nothing but common things in the world of cultivating immortals.

But the three of them couldn't afford any of these ordinary things that the Palace of Yuqing looked down upon.

"Damn, Yuqing Palace is also deceiving people too much!"

Brother Ninth walked back and forth in the room with his arms folded, swearing continuously and looking disaffected.

Zhao Xuan was angry and funny, teasing the little fox to play, said: "Brother, on the way back just now, you praised Yuqing Palace like a flower, and then scolded others in a blink of an eye, you are too snobbish!"

Xu Chen also pursed his lips and said, "If Senior Brother doesn't like this little Yuan Pill, give it to me first. I'm so poor that I wish I could go to Yuqing Palace and kneel down and call Dad!"

Ninth Senior Brother squinted and threw Xiao Yuan Pill to Xu Chen, saying, "I really don't like Po Pills that are not even in the bottle!"

After speaking, he took out a palm-sized animal skin bag covered with mysterious patterns from his arms, stared at it for a long time with his spiritual sense, and finally sighed, sat down on the chair and said: "The baby in this storage bag must not Little, besides the Guiyuan Pill, there may be many spirit stones and other treasures, alas, it’s a pity that I can’t open it.”

Xu Chen happily collected Xiao Yuandan and came over, took the storage bag from Senior Brother Nine and stared at it for a while, and specially stimulated the blue jade beads in the sea of ​​consciousness to attack the soul-locking burst of the storage bag, but unfortunately There was no movement at all, but the pain in the head was as painful as a needle, and his face turned pale for a while.

Since killing the Ziyang sect monk to get this storage bag, the three of them have been researching it whenever they have time on the way to the capital, but unfortunately there is nothing they can do after a few days.

Ziyangzong is a large immortal sect in the Ming Dynasty. It has been passed down for a long time. It has its own set of secret exercises and spell systems. Although this storage bag looks inconspicuous, if the divine sense penetrates into it, it will be covered by hundreds of talismans. The compass formation formed by Wen can only be unlocked with the unique method of Ziyangzong. If it is forcibly destroyed, the contents inside will definitely be blown into fly ash in an instant.

Of course, if one's own strength is strong enough, one can also forcibly destroy this formation with spiritual consciousness and open it, but in this way, the storage bag is likely to be destroyed as well, and the mouth of the bag can no longer be sealed, resulting in the appearance of an empty bag. Like a little lady in clothes, the contents inside will be exposed to all eyes, and any monk may take it away at will.

Senior Brother Jiu let out a long sigh and got up after a while, "No, we have to find a way to pry open this storage bag."

Zhao Xuan was surprised and said, "Brother, don't use force."

Brother Jiu shook his head and said, "Junior Sister, don't worry, but sitting here in a daze must not work. I have to go out and find some friends on the road to help me find a solution."

Xu Chen rubbed his forehead and reminded: "Brother, this storage bag is not visible."

Senior Brother Jiu thought for a while and threw the storage bag to Xu Chendao: "Little Junior Brother, please rest well in the inn. Your mind and soul are damaged, so don't use your spiritual sense lightly recently. If you want to deal with the people of Ziyang Sect, you will have to fight with all your strength in the end. Go out with my junior sister to inquire about the recent movement in the fairy world, and at the same time go to several monk trading places to see if I can find a way to open the storage bag."

After listening to Zhao Xuan, she handed the little fox to Xu Chen and said, "It should be so. Right now, the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light. We are very passive. Opening the storage bag is a trivial matter. We must find a way to deal with Ziyangzong, otherwise we will become more passive."

Although Xu Chen also wanted to go out with him to broaden his horizons, he thought that he really needed to rest and recover his soul in order to face the upcoming battle with Ziyangzong, so he nodded and put away the storage bag.

After the three of them exchanged a few words with their spiritual sense, Brother Jiu and Zhao Xuan left the inn together.

Xu Chen lay down on the bed, covered his forehead with the little fox holding the black bead, closed his eyes and began to absorb the energy of the black bead.

Practice all the way, if you don't advance, you will retreat.

Just like ordinary people exercising, if you don't exercise for a few days, you will start to feel weak and puffy.

The Kaiyuan Realm mainly relies on exercises to condense the innate essence scattered in the internal organs, muscles, bones, skin and flesh, and slowly sorts it into the dantian. The growth is heavily consumed and eventually disappears completely.

However, the dantian of the meridians of Kaiyuanjing has just been successfully opened up, and it is not stable, so it will be in a state of leakage at any time. If you don't practice diligently, the vitality accumulated in the dantian will slowly dissipate.

Only after the foundation is established, the acupoints of the whole body and the dantian of the meridians are completely integrated to form a closed vitality circulation system, so that the vitality will not leak, and then it can be concentrated and continuously accumulated, and finally condensed into pills.

The three steps of refining and transforming qi, qi training, foundation building, and alchemy, are inherited in one continuous line, but if the innate essence is insufficient at the beginning, resulting in insufficient development of the dantian, and eventually the accumulated vitality is not enough for quantitative change to drive qualitative change, then it will stop at In Yuan Kaijing, no matter how good the pill is, it can't help to break through.

Once the foundation building is successful, there will be a change that is almost completely reborn, and it will start to really embark on the road.

Therefore, monks in the foundation building period can be called real people, and generally they will have the honorary title of Taoism.

In Kaiyuan Realm, the lifespan is basically around a hundred years, but in the True Yuan Realm, you can easily live to 150 years old, and your lifespan will increase by [-]%. A true immortal who lives forever.

However, Xu Chen's aptitude is limited. Although the innate essence is much stronger than ordinary people, in the world of cultivating immortals, it is also a very rubbish physique.

But now that they have embarked on this road, no one is willing to give up halfway. As long as there is a chance, they will fight hard and persevere. After all, longevity is an irresistible temptation for any living being. Impatient.

Wealth is precious, but life is more expensive.If it is for longevity, everything can be thrown away.

For monks, longevity is the only belief.

Xu Chen used to feel a little melancholy about his aptitude, but since he got the blue jade beads, he slowly found out that maybe he didn't have the opportunity to succeed in foundation building.

Because of the recent practice, he feels very easy and handy, not as difficult and obscure as before, and it seems that there is still a lot of room for improvement.

Especially after the black-clothed Taoist who faced the Ziyang Sect last time stimulated Yuzhu twice, although his soul suffered unparalleled pain and even fell into a coma for a while, after slowly recovering, he found that his soul was much stronger. In the process of cultivation, the control over the condensing of vitality and the operation of the formulas is also more subtle, and more innate essence hidden in the muscles, bones, flesh and internal organs can be refined into vitality and incorporated into the sea of ​​​​qi.

Therefore, during this period of time, Xu Chen became more interested in cultivation.

He felt that as long as he continued to persevere, he would be able to reach the middle stage of Yuan Kai in half a month at most, and his strength would improve a lot by then.
