Are you addicted to fairy? Just give it a try!

"This... is the legendary spiritual essence of heaven and earth?"

That night, in Luyang City, Zhang Xiong carefully examined the aqua blue gem in his hand, and then asked Zhang Wei, who was sitting opposite him: "Is this what you need to break through the foundation through Qi refining?"

"Hmm..." Zhang Wei nodded.

The reason why Qi refining cultivators pursue the spiritual essence of heaven and earth is mainly for the wisp of Tao rhyme in it.

It is said that when the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was not polluted by turbid air, cultivators could still rely on their own strength to slowly comprehend the heaven and earth and build the foundation of Tao.

But now the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is dim, and cultivators can only set their goals on the spiritual essence of heaven and earth, because in this era, only these spiritual essences nurtured by heaven and earth have a strong enough Tao rhyme.

And when the cultivator integrates the Tao rhyme into the Tao foundation, it can make the Tao foundation of the foundation cultivator have all kinds of magical effects, which can greatly enhance the strength of the foundation cultivator himself.

This is the fundamental reason why the foundation masters and Qi refining cultivators widen the gap.

However, the birth of the essence of heaven and earth is extremely demanding. Except for the spiritual veins of major forces that can produce one piece through the nourishment of a large amount of spiritual energy for decades or even hundreds of years, encountering the essence of heaven and earth at other times can only rely on luck.

Especially when compared with the population base of the peak Qi Refining cultivators, the essence of heaven and earth that is being nourished in the spiritual veins of the five domains is not enough to be divided.

This can be seen from the fact that when Master Yunhai brought back the spiritual blood jade, his disciples beat their brains out.

"If you refine it, Zijie, you can break through the foundation, right?" Zhang Xiong said, and then pushed the gem to Zhang Wei, urging: "Then refine it quickly! Let me see the style of a foundation-building master!"

However, Zhang Wei shook his head and said: "I have checked it, this gem is of water attribute, and it is not suitable for me."

Having said that, in fact, cultivators do not have such strong restrictions on the attributes of the spiritual essence of heaven and earth they fuse. The fusion of any attribute of the spiritual essence of heaven and earth will not affect their foundation building.

But it will affect their later path.

If you are lucky, you may be able to master stronger power in the attribute conflict and walk out a smooth road; but if you are unlucky, you may stop at the initial stage of foundation building and make no progress in your life.

So Zhang Wei still thinks that it is better to fuse the spiritual essence that matches his own attributes. Although mutation is good, it also has risks. He should honestly pursue the extreme number.

Anyway, he is still young, and although the thunder spiritual essence is hard to find, he has already made some progress.

And when he saw this spiritual essence, Zhang Wei remembered Jiang Shun’s questioning and his eyes before his death.

The most important thing is that Zhang Wei always feels that if he uses it, he seems to have lost something important.

It’s like admitting that he lost.

But Zhang Wei doesn’t know what he lost.

But he just doesn’t want to lose!

“Ah?”

Zhang Xiong looked disappointed when he heard this. He thought that the day when the Zhang family became a family of immortal cultivation would be today.

But since Zhang Wei doesn’t want to, he naturally won’t force it. What happened during this period of time told Zhang Xiong that he had no problem making decisions on worldly matters, but once it came to the world of immortal cultivation, he would have to listen to his brother, who was just 20 years old.

Zhang Xiong asked, "What do you plan to do with this thing? Sell it for some cultivation resources? How much do you think is a good price for this spiritual essence of heaven and earth?"

"What do you want to sell?"

Zhang Wei rolled his eyes. If those cultivators who had been begging for spiritual essence but could not get it heard what his brother said, they would probably have to use him to perform the method of making Wensi tofu on the spot.

Zhang Wei pushed the orb directly to Zhang Xiong and said, "Brother, use it."

Zhang Xiong was stunned, and his hand tightened and he pulled out a few of his beards. Then he pointed at his nose in disbelief and said incoherently, "Give it to me? But...but I don't have spiritual roots, I can't cultivate immortality!"

Zhang Wei explained, "The spiritual essence of heaven and earth itself also has the function of gathering spiritual energy, so you can regard it as an acquired spiritual root. After integrating it, ordinary people can enter the Tao and cultivate immortality."

"And with the spiritual essence of heaven and earth, as long as the resources can keep up, you can break through the foundation steadily, and there will be no shackles during the period."

In fact, as early as when he showed his cards to Zhang Xiong and others about cultivating immortality, Zhang Wei tried to use his original method of entering the Tao to lead Zhang Xiong and several other smart children in the family into the door.

But for some reason, when Zhang Xiong and others received electrotherapy, they did not achieve any results except shaking all over!

Thinking about it, Zhang Wei could only attribute the reason for his successful entry into the Tao to his own soul.

Maybe it was because he was a time traveler, and there were millions of books in his head as golden fingers. His spiritual consciousness was naturally stronger than others, so he could endure the electric shock while distracting himself to operate the skills to draw electricity.

But it doesn't mean that ordinary people without spiritual roots have no possibility of cultivating immortals, but it requires a lot of experiments to do it slowly.

After all, scientific research is not something you can get results by just having an idea and dropping two drops of test solution.

Now, hearing Zhang Wei's words, hearing that he can finally cultivate immortals, Zhang Xiong's face can't help but reveal a touch of desire, looking at the gem on the table, his eyes are hot.

After all, this is an opportunity that the legendary immortals can only dream of, and once he has it, he can become a legendary foundation-building cultivator, and at least sit and watch the spring and autumn for 180 years.

This is too attractive for him who is already in his forties!

However, after Zhang Xiong thought for a long time, he finally gritted his teeth and refused: "No..."

"Brother..."

Zhang Xiong raised his hand to stop Zhang Wei's persuasion, and said with a self-deprecating smile: "Zijie, thank you for giving me such a precious opportunity, but it's a pity... The eldest brother is old, he is already over forty.

According to the saying in the world of immortality, fifty people know destiny, it is too late for my eldest brother to become an immortal now.

Even if I have this spiritual essence of heaven and earth, how many years will it take me to reach the peak of Qi refining and then build the foundation?

It's better to give the younger generation a chance. I would be wasting the natural resources by using this heaven and earth spirit essence! "

"But……"

Zhang Wei wanted to continue to persuade, but Zhang Xiong said firmly: "Okay, I have made up my mind."

Then Zhang Xiong smiled with relief and said: "Zijie, my biggest dream now is to lead our family to become a family of immortal cultivators in my lifetime.

In that case, even if I go down below and meet my ancestors, I can proudly say that the Zhang family has ushered in glory in my hands! "

"but……"

Zhang Xiong picked up the orb, looked at Zhang Wei, and said in a tone of discussion and prayer: "As the saying goes, the rich water should not flow to outsiders, but now you are the only one who cultivates immortality in our Zhang family, and there are too few seeds.

Brother, I am here to ask you for a favor, and give the essence of heaven and earth to Ping'er!

Ping'er has been smart since he was a child. Although he is not as good as you, he is still a spiritual child. If we had this spiritual essence of heaven and earth..."

Zhang Wei grabbed his brother's hand at this time, nodded solemnly, and said: "Okay, brother, stop talking, I understand!"

Zhang Xiong choked, looking at his younger brother's young face, his eyes were in a trance, and tears could not help but moisten his eyes.

He grabbed his brother's hand tightly and thanked him in a voice that was almost choked with sobs: "Thank you...Thank you, Zijie."

This was the first time that Zhang Wei saw his brother looking like this.

In his memory, Zhang Xiong, as a parent, had always shown a stern image after taking over the responsibility of being the head of the family.

Although he had laughed before, Zhang Wei had never seen him cry like a child like this.

After a while, Zhang Wei understood. I couldn't help but sigh: "How pitiful the hearts of parents in the world are..."

I would rather give up my own hope of immortality and pave the way for my children. If it weren't for Zhang Ping, I'm afraid Zhang Xiong would still want to give it a try no matter how old he was.

At this time, Zhang Xiong regained his composure, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and smiled bitterly at Zhang Wei: "I'm sorry, Zijie, for letting you see this ugly look."

"It's okay. I just regret that I didn't record the video of you crying, brother, so that I can show it to my sister-in-law and the others."

Zhang Wei took out a photo beads and sighed. Zhang Xiong's face turned as red as a monkey's ass. He quickly waved his sleeves, turned around and walked out of the study.

"I'll call Ping'er over."

Not long after, Zhang Ping, who was sleeping soundly, was pulled up from the bed by Zhang Xiong, and then yawned and came to the study.

"Dad, why are you calling me so late..."

Zhang Ping was still complaining as soon as he walked in. If Zhang Xiong hadn't been his father and someone else disturbed his dreams, he would have scolded him long ago.

However, as soon as he entered the study, he saw not only his father sitting in the room, but also another elder of his.

"Second uncle? Are you back from the capital?" Zhang Ping shouted in surprise, and the next moment he was glared hard by Zhang Xiong.

"What's the name?"

Zhang Ping immediately resigned and stood in the middle of the study room with a depressed look, listening to Zhang Xiong's instructions.

Then I saw Zhang Xiong sitting on the Taishi chair, pointing to the ground and saying: "Come, kneel down. Dad, I have a favor for you."

"ah?"

Zhang Ping was stunned and raised his head to look at his father in disbelief.

I was thinking that it was late at night, maybe you were doing something wrong?

Is this how you treat me when you ask me to do something?

However, after Zhang Ping saw Zhang Xiong staring at him with his tiger eyes, he immediately knelt on the ground smoothly, put his hands on his knees and said respectfully: "Father, please tell me!"

Zhang Ping's change in appearance made Zhang Xiong angry for a while, but Zhang Wei was very happy to watch.

"snort!"

Zhang Xiong snorted coldly and said, "You know what happened when your second uncle went overseas to seek immortality, right?"

"Of course I know."

Zhang Ping nodded and secretly looked at his second uncle, only to see a smiling face. Zhang Ping was confused.

What does father want to do?

Then Zhang Ping heard Zhang Xiong say: "Actually, what the outside world doesn't know is that although your second uncle was not included in the door of Linglong Immortal Sect, he still stepped into the immortal way!"

"ah?"

Zhang Ping suddenly raised his head and looked at his second uncle in disbelief.

Then he saw his normally unassuming second uncle indifferently hold out a finger, and then a flash of lightning danced on his fingertips, illuminating the entire study room.

How is that possible? !

Second Uncle, didn’t you say that you were just an ordinary martial arts master? Why did you become an immortal in the blink of an eye?

"this……"

Seeing Zhang Ping's confused look, Zhang Xiong waved his hand to call Zhang Ping back to his senses and said, "Just think that Linglong Immortal Sect has made a mistake."

"Have you read all the books your second uncle brought back from Linglong Immortal Square?" Zhang Xiong asked again.

“I’ve seen some of them, it’s time to gain more knowledge.”

Zhang Ping answered honestly, but his eyes uncontrollably glanced at Zhang Wei, full of curiosity.

Zhang Xiong asked again: "Then do you know what the essence of heaven and earth is?"

"I know, the essence of heaven and earth is..." Zhang Ping recounted the news about the essence of heaven and earth that he had seen, and the more he talked about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

What on earth do my father and second uncle want to do when they call me here late at night and ask such questions?

Could it be that... they found a clue to the essence of heaven and earth and wanted to help them plan it?

So Zhang Ping immediately said: "Is it possible that you, the second uncle, have received news about a piece of heaven and earth spiritual essence and need my help?"

Then he patted his chest and said, "No problem, second uncle, just tell me what you want me to do!"

The two brothers Zhang Xiong and Zhang Wei were stunned for a moment, then looked at each other and couldn't help laughing. This time, Zhang Ping was confused again.

Could it be that I understood it wrong?

Zhang Xiong smiled enough and said: "You have such a heart, I am very happy to be a father. But if you really are the essence of heaven and earth, you will not be needed."

As he spoke, he took out the orb from his arms, gently placed it on the table, and said, "Look at what this is."

"This is……"

Zhang Ping looked at it, and his eyes were instantly attracted to the orb. Such a treasure, even with his naked eyes, he could still see this extraordinary thing.

Zhang Ping suddenly came back to his senses, looked at Zhang Wei in shock and asked: "Is this..."

Zhang Wei nodded and said: "I will call it the Mirage Orb for the time being. As you can see, it is a spiritual essence of heaven and earth.

By refining it, you can cultivate immortality and enter Taoism, even build a foundation, and enjoy a life span of three decades!

We plan to let you, Ping'er, refine into Taoism, then break through the foundation building, and lead our Zhang family to become a family of immortal cultivators! "

Zhang Ping was instantly stunned by the big cake falling from the sky.

He was just sleeping at home and was suddenly woken up by his father. But you told me that you wanted to give me the essence of heaven and earth and make me a foundation-building immortal?

Am I still awake?

Zhang Ping said incoherently: "But uncle, aren't you a cultivator? Can't you just refine it? Why give it back to me?"

Zhang Wei shook his head and said: "I am not suitable for this piece of heaven and earth spiritual essence. I gave it to your father and your father didn't want it, so I gave it to you, kid!"

"Ah? Dad..."

Zhang Ping looked at his stern father in shock when he heard this. He never expected that his father would give him the opportunity to become an immortal.

"What are you looking at me doing?"

Zhang Xiong snorted coldly, stood up and kicked Zhang Ping and said: "Your second uncle brought back this heaven and earth spirit essence, why don't you kowtow to your second uncle!"

Zhang Ping quickly bowed and said, "Thank you, second uncle!"

Zhang Wei accepted the gift calmly, and then warned him with sincerity: "Ping'er... you can't really understand how important the spiritual essence of heaven and earth is from reading books.

I am here to tell you the truth, this piece of heaven and earth spiritual essence caused more than 30,000 immortal cultivators to fight for it, and hundreds of people were killed or injured. There is also the fate of a large sect and several immortal cultivating families.

But now it has fallen into our hands. If the news that the heaven and earth spirit essence is in your hands leaks out, you should be able to guess the consequences, right? "

Zhang Ping nodded heavily and said: "Ping'er understands! Even if I die, I won't say a word about this matter!"

Zhang Wei nodded, and then took out a jade slip from his arms, which was one of the burial objects he got from the ancient tomb of Master Luoxia.

Zhang Wei handed it to Zhang Ping and said: "This is a skill book called "Luoxia Lingjie Jue" that I obtained during a training session. The secrets in it directly point to the realm of Zifu.

Although it is not completely suitable for the water attribute of this mirage orb, it is enough for you now.

If I can find a method that is more suitable for you in the future, I will change it. Before that, you should use this excessively. "

Zhang Ping took it in a daze, and Zhang Xiong, who was standing next to him, gave him a quick kick in the butt and shouted, "Why don't you thank your second uncle for teaching me the method?"

"Thank you, uncle!"

Zhang Wei looked at the confused nephew holding the mirage orb, and couldn't help but recall the scenes before Jiang Shun's death.

He sighed slightly in his heart, and then said: "I have nothing to do during this period, so I will just teach you how to practice. As for entering the world of cultivation, I will wait until you enter the middle stage of Qi refining."

Zhang Xiong on the side also said: "I will go to the Academy tomorrow to ask you for a long vacation. During this time, you don't go anywhere, just follow your second uncle to cultivate immortality. When you are satisfied with me, I will let you go." go out!"

Then Zhang Xiong patted his son on the shoulder and said sincerely: "Ping'er... I have given you such precious spiritual essence of heaven and earth, and your second uncle helped guide the way. There is no need for cultivation resources such as alchemy, talismans, and so on. Don't worry, if you don't make some achievements for me..."

As he spoke, Zhang Xiong glanced at the ruler hanging on the shelf in his study.

"Understand?"

Zhang Ping followed his father's gaze, his body trembled when he saw the familiar prop, and he quickly replied.

"Understand!"

Relying on the Mirage Orb, Zhang Ping completed the steps to enter the Tao that night and quickly stabilized his cultivation.

In line with the principle of doing everything in one go, Zhang Xiong directly suggested that Zhang Wei give his son more strength. As a result, Zhang Ping lived a life of pain and happiness for a long time.

The happy thing is that the sense of increased strength brought by cultivating immortals makes him want to stop. Every time he practices, there will be positive feedback of improved cultivation. This is much more interesting than reading!

But Zhang Wei knew that this was mainly due to the spiritual essence of heaven and earth.

Before Zhang Ping breaks through the foundation-building stage, he will not have any bottlenecks. He only needs to practice step by step.

As for the pain... Zhang Xiong has now put aside even the family affairs. He spends half of the day holding a ruler behind Zhang Ping to watch him practice and study. If he loses his concentration, he will hit him with the ruler, making Zhang Ping grimace.

Facts have proved that your father is still your father after all.

Even if you cultivate immortality, your father can still suppress you with his bloodline.

In this way, except for delivering the two Moyun Shuttles required by the Worship Institute to Shan Guangxue in the middle, Zhang Wei stayed in the Zhang family to teach Zhang Ping for the rest of the time.

The teaching period lasted for three months. When the snow melted and spring buds emerged, Zhang Wei stopped teaching Zhang Ping and went back to Chuyunfang City to test the wind direction.

At this time, there were still casual cultivators in Yunmeng Lake searching for the whereabouts of the King of Shells, but there were fewer people. After all, so much time had passed, and there were rumors that the spiritual essence of heaven and earth had been secretly taken away by someone.

But when Zhang Wei came back, he was still questioned by Yunshang Sect because he was related to Jiang Shun, who had not returned to the shell field for a long time.

But Zhang Wei evaded the questioning.

In fact, Jiang Shun's long-term disappearance did not cause much waves in Chuyun Shell Field, because there were also many casual cultivators who disappeared in the market, and only a few of them could find their bodies like Feng Bin.

The spiritual essence of heaven and earth disturbed the water of Yunmeng Lake, allowing a group of casual cultivators to fish in troubled waters and engage in the robbery of houses. God knows whether Jiang Shun was unlucky and was killed?

Only Zhang Wei knew that Jiang Shun was indeed dead, and he buried it himself.

As for the suspicion on Zhang Wei?

Which cultivator did not immediately fuse and break through the foundation after obtaining the spiritual essence of heaven and earth? Why continue to look forward to it after refining qi? It's impossible that he gave the essence of heaven and earth to others, right?

The disciples of Yunshang Sect never thought that a casual cultivator in the late stage of Qi Refining would be able to withstand the temptation of building a foundation, which directly allowed Zhang Wei to exploit the loophole in his thinking and clear his suspicion.

In this way, another half a month passed. Yunshang Sect sent hundreds of disciples to search continuously, and finally found the body of King Bei in an underwater cave. Unfortunately, the essence of heaven and earth he nurtured was nowhere to be found.

No one knows how Master Yunqing felt after receiving the news, but it also made the entire Chuyunfang City feel relieved. The storm caused by the essence of heaven and earth that lasted for several months was finally over.

And Zhang Wei returned to Luyang City after the storm ended.

He received news that their Zhang family finally successfully cultivated the first batch of mealworms!
