Living in the world of cultivation

Boom! !

There were bursts of muffled thunder in the clouds in the sky.

In an instant, with the thunder, violent winds and heavy rain poured down.

Su Fan sat cross-legged on a mountain peak, looking up at the dark clouds in the sky.

At this time, the clouds in the sky were so low that they seemed to be pressing down, within reach.

The clouds rolled violently, like a galloping army, and rolled over from the top of the sky at a high speed.

The sky was pitch black, and the rain was pouring. Snake-shaped lightning rose and fell, rolling up brilliant flames in the air.

Damn it, I am destined to be struck by lightning.

Su Fan cursed and began to practice the first level of the "Heavenly Demon Saint Body Art".

As the practice was running, a qi seemed to be born in his body, instantly connecting the whole world.

Boom! ! !

Suddenly, a huge thunder exploded between the dark clouds, illuminating the whole world.

A huge lightning flashed across the sky, and the nine heavens were thundering.

There was a loud bang, as if the heaven and earth were shaking, and Su Fan's heart trembled, and his body couldn't help but shrink.

Then, the terrifying thunder of heaven and earth roared down.

Just this one time, Su Fan was almost hurt to death,

Boom! ! !

Boom! ! !

Then huge thunders kept falling down, falling on Su Fan's body, and he was struck by it.

Finally, the thunderclouds in the sky gradually faded.

But the torrential rain was still pouring down heavily, and the gray and cold moisture came to his face.

Su Fan wiped the rain off his face and exhaled a long breath.

When will this day end?

He stood up from the ground, shook lightly, and the rain on his body was instantly shaken off. Then a spiritual shield rose from his body, blocking the rain outside the body.

Su Fan took out the "Qingmu Yufeng Shuttle" from his ring, and then drove the magic weapon back to his cave.

A few months ago, he was brought to this place by Zhang Yao.

This is a market in "Wulin City", called "Tengshan Market".

He is an outer sect disciple on duty here, but after all, he is arranged by the Zhang family. The guard of the market is quite sensible and usually does not assign any chores to Su Fan.

Wulin City is already a prime area within the sphere of influence of the Beiyou Divine Sect. Not only is there abundant spiritual veins, but there are also many monks gathered.

Not to mention Wulin City, even the surrounding area of ​​"Tengshan Market" has gathered hundreds of thousands of monks, which is almost catching up with the scale of Xilan City.

Su Fan's cave is in a valley not far from "Tengshan Market".

It is said that this is a third-level spiritual vein, but he feels that the concentration of spiritual energy is at least several times stronger than that of Xilan City.

Especially the effect of cultivation, which made him feel very intuitive. Cultivating in "Tengshan Market" for one day is equivalent to several days there.

The richness of the spiritual energy here can be seen.

When Su Fan cultivated in the cave every day, it was filled with almost sticky spiritual energy, just like being in the Turkish bath in his previous life.

Since he came here, he almost never left the house and stayed in the cave every day to practice hard.

That is, when it rained, Su Fan would go to the nearby mountains to draw thunder into his body to cleanse his body, soul and magic power.

It took only a few months for him to condense the magic power in his dantian into a spiritual energy ball that was as real as substance.

This is the false pill stage, which can also be called the virtual pill stage.

When a cultivator cultivates to this stage, he is only one step away from the golden pill realm.

Despite this, in the few months since he came here, as long as it rained, Su Fan would go into the mountains to receive thunder and continuously refine the false pill.

Now the spiritual energy ball in his dantian that was as real as substance has been cleansed by him to be extremely condensed and heavy.

During this period, since the two separated in "Wulin City", Su Fan has not seen Zhang Yao again.

But the various resources needed for the breakthrough of the Golden Core have been sent to him.

After all, it is a high-level family of the Beiyou Divine Sect, and the foundation is indeed extraordinary. The quality of the various cultivation resources needed for the breakthrough is top-notch.

Su Fan knows in his heart that the deal between the two has been reached, and from now on, no one owes anyone anything.

If it were someone else, he would definitely rather let Zhang Yao owe him a favor, and would never take these external things.

Although the cultivation resources required to break through the Golden Core Realm are not small, at least they have a price.

But it is hard to say about favors, and they cannot be measured by value at all.

Su Fan certainly knows this, but he still chooses external things.

Favors are also divided into who uses them. If the identities and status of each other are similar, then favors are of course valuable.

But you are a low-level disciple with no background, and you use this favor to ask for a lion's mouth. Who gives you such a big face?

Su Fan still has self-knowledge. He is quite greedy for money, but he knows when to stop.

The most important thing in life is to know the limits.

Wear pants that are the size of your buttocks. Too big or too small is not good.

The valley where the cave is located is not large, but the scenery is very beautiful. The mountains on both sides are lush and green. There are old trees with new branches and leaves wrapped around withered vines, and there are also exotic flowers and plants growing with moss on the cliffs.

At this time, Su Fan was sitting cross-legged in a thatched cottage at the end of the valley. Until now, he still felt a little dizzy.

Although Su Fan has cultivated to the third level of "Heavenly Demon Saint Body Art" and the thunder of heaven and earth can no longer hurt him, the whole process is still like purgatory.

He practiced Hunyuan Gong for several weeks and found that the fake elixir in Dantian had been refined to be extremely pure.

That was probably it. Even if he was struck by lightning every day, he couldn't condense it any more.

Su Fan knew that he should proceed to the next step, which was to choose a suitable time to break through the Jindan realm.

The breakthrough of a cultivator was very particular about timing. The solid and round fake elixir in Dantian was only a necessary condition.

Thinking of this, Su Fan sat up from the ground, went to the yard to make a hearty lunch for himself, and also heated a pot of spiritual wine, sitting in the yard and drinking by himself.

The next step was to adjust his mentality until his Tao heart was perfect and transparent, and all aspects of his whole person were in the best state.

At this time, the cultivator would feel a kind of opportunity in his heart.

Although Su Fan could skip this step through the game panel and directly refresh the data to that state, he always felt that it would be a little bit worse.

So Su Fan was willful, hoping that his state could naturally find the opportunity for a breakthrough.

In the next few days, Su Fan did not practice every day.

He would sit in the courtyard in the valley, and drink a little wine leisurely. Or he would set up a small red clay stove in the courtyard and brew a pot of spiritual tea for himself.

His life was leisurely, not to mention how comfortable it was.

Although his state had been adjusted almost, the legendary opportunity never appeared.

The opportunity for cultivation was very mysterious, and it would take three to five days to see the results.

It was hard to say if it was slow, it was possible to take ten or eight years, and it was not uncommon to take more than a hundred years.

Anyway, Su Fan was not in a hurry, and he could wait.

This morning, he left the cave and drove the magic weapon to "Wulin City".

Since coming to "Tianshan Market", Su Fan has been practicing hard behind closed doors, and has never been to the city.

Now he is bored, so he wants to go around the city.

Wulin City is quite large and densely populated. The streets are bustling with people and traffic, and the order is well maintained. There are rows of shops on both sides of the streets, a prosperous scene.

In addition, there are two markets in the east and west in the city. Walking in is like returning to the wholesale market in the previous life.

This is a paradise for casual cultivators, and rows of stalls almost cover the entire market.

Even though Kunxutian has extremely rich cultivation resources, there is nothing that can catch Su Fan's eye in such a place where low-level casual cultivators trade.

Su Fan came to a stall selling secret books and squatted down. In front of him were piled various ancient books and secret books.

He had also been a casual cultivator, and he knew the tricks here too well.

Among these secret books and ancient books on the stalls, it would be good if two out of ten were authentic, and the rest were almost all handwritten copies that were pieced together and made to look old.

Su Fan flipped through them, and just as he was about to get up and leave, he was suddenly attracted by a secret book.

He picked up a thin ancient book and flipped through it roughly, and his heart was filled with a huge wave.

The name of this secret book is "The True Scripture of Hunyuan Huaqi". Although this secret book is an old handwritten copy, the opening overview still shocked Su Fan.

He is really a fool. He has been in Kunxutian for so long, but he didn't think of this.

Su Fan has been in Xuanluo Realm for a long time, and he is used to looking at Kunxutian with his original eyes.

It seems that he is really wrong.

Su Fan suppressed his excitement, put down the ancient book, and then stood up and left the market in a hurry.

He walked out of the Sanxiu Market and came to a shop in the city that sold martial arts secrets.

This shop is called "Ruyi Book Hall". It is said that it is the shop with the most complete martial arts secrets in the entire Wulin City.

Su Fan stood outside the door of the shop, looked up at the plaque on the door, took a deep breath, and then stepped into "Ruyi Book Hall".

As soon as he walked in, a pretty female cultivator came up.

"Senior, is there anything I can help you with?"

The girl's soft voice, coupled with a pair of big eyes that can speak, easily makes people feel good.

"Do you have basic exercises here..."

"Senior, please follow me..."

The girl led Su Fan to a private room, served him a cup of spiritual tea, and then brought a few jade slips and placed them in front of Su Fan.

"Senior, the basic exercises of our store are all here, please take a look..."

Su Fan took a sip of spiritual tea, calmed down his excitement, and then picked up a jade slip and placed it on his forehead.

After a while, he put down the last jade slip in disappointment.

It's not that the basic exercises that the girl brought him were not good, but they were too good. Almost all of them were tailor-made for those cultivators with excellent qualifications and talents.

Su Fan waved his hand to call the female cultivator guarding outside the private room in, and the girl came over to refill Su Fan's cup of spiritual tea.

"Senior, what do you want me to do..."

"A younger generation in my family has poor aptitude. I want to buy him a basic technique. I wonder..."

The girl smiled and said, "Senior, I understand. Please wait..."

After a while, the girl brought two more jade slips and presented them with both hands.

"Senior, there should be a technique you like here..."

Su Fan picked up a jade slip and placed it on his forehead. After just a moment's glance, a hint of surprise appeared on his face.

He put down the jade slip and said, "I want to see the 'Hunyuan Huaqi Zhenjing'..."

After hearing this, the girl quickly took out a jade slip from her ring and handed it to Su Fan with both hands.

"Senior, this is the technique you want..."

Su Fan took the jade slip and put it on his forehead again, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

There really is such a technique.

"I want this technique..."

Su Fan thought for a while and said, "Do you have any technique to strengthen the soul..."

He stayed in the "Ruyi Book Hall" for a long time, put the jade slips he bought in the ring, and then left the shop.

Next, Su Fan no longer had the heart to go shopping.

He drove the magic weapon and hurried back to the cave of "Tengshan Market".

Su Fan sat cross-legged in the thatched cottage, took a deep breath, and then took out a few jade slips from the ring.

These jade slips recorded the secrets of the technique and several secrets, all of which were carefully selected by Su Fan after some thought.

Of course, these techniques did not have the secrets of the major sects in Kunxutian, and almost all of them were inherited from other planes.

Su Fan took a jade slip and placed it on his forehead, and studied it carefully.

After a while, he put the jade slip down, but he was already excited.

This basic technique is called "Hunyuan Huaqi Zhenjing", which is a fairy sect inheritance from Mi Luotian.

The Hunyuan Gong that Su Fan has been practicing is actually a simplified version of this technique. As for the reason for the simplification, it is not difficult to guess.

After all, the spiritual vein resources of Xuanluo Realm cannot be compared with those resource-rich large planes.

Hunyuan Jue was originally tailor-made for cultivators with poor qualifications. Although the foundation is solid and the mana is strong, the only criticism is that the progress of cultivation is extremely slow.

If you practice this "Hunyuan Huaqi Zhenjing" in Xuanluo Realm, you probably won't have the opportunity to draw qi into your body and become a cultivator in this life.

There is no way. The concentration of spiritual energy in Xuanluo Realm cannot meet the basic conditions of the technique.

Su Fan deeply experienced the gap in spiritual energy between the two planes. Even the first-level spiritual veins in Xuanluo Realm are at best fourth-level or fifth-level spiritual veins in Kunxu Heaven.

The standards of the spiritual veins of the two planes are completely different.

Therefore, the basic immortal sect inheritance of Mirotian has lowered the threshold for cultivation and simplified the difficulty of the exercises to meet the cultivation of Xuanluo Realm cultivators.

But this set of exercises is different in Kunxutian. The extremely rich spiritual energy here is enough to support the cultivation of this set of exercises.

No wonder since he came to Kunxutian, the concentration of spiritual energy is so rich, but when he practiced Hunyuan Gong, he didn't see much improvement.

Su Fan thought that he had cultivated to the great perfection of foundation building and the realm of the exercises could not be improved.

Now it seems that it is not the case at all.

But the appearance of this exercise also gave him a problem, making him unable to make a decision for a while.

Su Fan was about to prepare to break through the Jindan realm, but this set of exercises disrupted his rhythm.

If he changed the exercises at this time, he could only start all over again.

It is still unknown when he will cultivate to this level now.

After careful consideration, Su Fan decided to practice "Hunyuan Huaqi Sutra" from the beginning.

After all, the more solid the foundation of the cultivator is, the easier the road ahead will be.

Moreover, for high-level basic exercises, every breakthrough in a major realm will greatly improve the cultivator's physical body, spiritual energy and soul.

Compared with the simplified Hunyuan Gong, the upper limit of "Hunyuan Huaqi Sutra" has been raised by an unknown amount.

How could Su Fan lose the big picture for the small? Even if it takes ten or eight years to practice from the beginning, he would not hesitate.

Thinking of this, he put the jade slip of the exercise on his forehead again.

In the next month or so, Su Fan began to practice "Hunyuan Huaqi Sutra" from the beginning. He originally thought that it would take a long time to practice to the great perfection of foundation building.

But after practicing for such a long time, Su Fan found that it was much faster than expected. He could practice to the great perfection of foundation building in two years at most.

After all, the simplified version of Hunyuan Gong is of the same origin as the "Hunyuan Huaqi Sutra", except that the meridian route is more complicated and the practice method is more complicated.

So compared with other basic exercises, not only is it very familiar, but the progress is also countless times faster.

Moreover, the mana in Su Fan's Dantian has long been condensed by thunder and has no impurities, so it is bound to be twice the result with half the effort.

The only problem now is that with the concentration of spiritual energy in the "Tengshan Market", it is a bit difficult to practice this set of "Hunyuan Huaqi Sutra".

Su Fan made up his mind and took out the high-level spirit gathering formation from the ring, embedded dozens of high-quality spirit stones in the groove, and then sat cross-legged on the spirit gathering formation.

He took out two top-grade pills and stuffed them into his mouth, and began to practice the "Hunyuan Huaqi Sutra".

The high-level spirit gathering formation and top-grade pills finally made up for the lack of spiritual veins, and Su Fan's practice speed began to increase exponentially.

According to the current progress, it only takes one or two years to cultivate to the great perfection of foundation building.

Although the speed of cultivation has accelerated, Su Fan's wealth has begun to shrink sharply. Fortunately, he has accumulated a lot of wealth in Xuanluo Realm, otherwise he really can't afford it.

At least dozens of high-quality spirit stones are consumed every day, even the elite disciples of Kunxutian Super Sect may not be able to bear it.

Not only that, the top-quality cultivation pills that Su Fan bought from "Taiyi Danzong" are also consumed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

He has accumulated these top-quality pills for a long time, all of which were purchased from Taiyi Danzong that year.

But this guy is too crazy to practice.

In order to assist in his practice, he has to take two or three pills every day.

If this gets out, even Kunxutian will cause a big uproar.

Anyway, when he reaches the great perfection of foundation building, the wealth he has accumulated in Xuanluo Realm over the years will probably be gone.

Originally thought he had achieved financial freedom, but now it seems that he is still a poor bastard.

In order to consolidate the foundation, Su Fan feels that everything is worth it, especially for a cultivator with poor qualifications like him, how can he guarantee the progress of cultivation without taking drugs.

Time passed like flowing water, and in a blink of an eye, Su Fan has been practicing hard in the cave of "Tengshan Market" for more than two years.

Hard work pays off.

After spending a lot of high-quality spirit stones and countless top-quality elixirs, Su Fan finally practiced "Hunyuan Huaqi Zhenjing" to the great perfection of foundation building.

Not only that, every time it rains, Su Fan will go to the nearby mountains to attract thunder and lightning, and refine spiritual energy like crazy.

In the past two years, Su Fan was almost struck silly by lightning.

Now the spiritual energy in his Dantian is as solid as substance, almost in the form of paste.

Although it took more than two years and consumed countless high-quality spiritual stones and top-quality elixirs, the re-cultivation of "Hunyuan Huaqi Zhenjing" has brought Su Fan unimaginable gains.

First of all, his Dantian has expanded at least twice as much as before, and his mana has increased several times.

What surprised him even more was that the strength of his soul has also increased a lot, and his consciousness has increased by 50% to 60%.

You should know that the strength of a cultivator's soul is the most difficult to increase, and even if the consciousness increases only a little, it is already a big improvement.

Of course, the property that Su Fan has accumulated over the years has returned to the pre-liberation period in one day.

Now he has become a poor man again.

Su Fan sat cross-legged in the cave, practicing "Hunyuan Huaqi Zhenjing".

After nine turns of merit, he exhaled a long turbid air.

Feeling the vitality of the extremely full mana in his dantian, Su Fan was very excited.

It was still a high-level basic practice. Now I look at Hunyuan Gong again, what the hell is that.

At this time, the communication array on Su Fan's waist vibrated slightly.

Since he came to Kunxutian, there were only three people's marks in his communication array, including Zhiyuan Zhenren from Xilan City and Feng Zhen.

In the past two years, Feng Zhen only contacted him occasionally. Zhiyuan Zhenren probably erased his mark a long time ago.

Then there is Zhang Yao. I haven't seen her contact him in the past two years.

So Su Fan guessed that it must be Feng Zhen. It is said that he has replaced the lower limbs of the demon clan.

Although it looks shabby, this guy is full of cargo. He actually inherited a teleportation ability of the demon clan. It's really a fool's luck.

Su Fan took off the communication array from his waist, and the figure that popped out after activating it turned out to be Zhang Yao.

"It's been a few years, and you haven't entered the false elixir stage yet. Are you afraid of the heavenly tribulation and have never thought about breaking through the golden elixir stage..."

How did I know that I would encounter the "Hunyuan Huaqi Sutra".

"Junior sister, there is no way. The technique I practice is quite special. I must lay a solid foundation before breaking through..."

"What basic technique are you practicing..."

Su Fan smiled bitterly: "I practice the 'Hunyuan Huaqi Sutra'..."

"What the hell, why do you want to practice that broken technique..."

I don't want to either, isn't it forced by life?

"Junior sister, you are just talking without any pain in your waist. What qualifications do I have? Can I compare with you..."

"I found a plane battlefield to continue serving, and I wanted to take you with me, but who knew you were so slow..."

And this good thing, of course I can't miss it.

"Junior sister, I guarantee that I can break through the Jindan stage in just two years..."

"You're dreaming, one year at most, or I won't take you with me, and I won't care about you no matter which plane you go to in the future..."

No, that's impossible.

"Okay... Then I'll try my best to break through the Jindan stage within a year..."

In fact, Su Fan has been laying a solid foundation for the past two years to consolidate his foundation, and he can enter the false dan stage at any time.

"Okay, you're really troublesome, I'll give you one year, and I won't wait for you after the expiration..."
