Longevity and Immortal Cultivation: Starting from Controlling Your Own Essence

"It should be here soon."

Several hours later, Zhang Yao had arrived at the depths of Tiandu Mountain.

This place is close to the peak of Tiandu Mountain, which is a thousand feet high from the ground. The cold wind blows, the dripping water turns into ice, and the clouds are misty. It is difficult for ordinary people to reach.

"Um?"

After going deeper for a while, Zhang Yao keenly noticed something strange.

He immediately circulated his mana and cast the "Spiritual Eye Technique", his eyes flashed with crystal light, and the clouds and mist in front of him billowed and turned into illusions one after another, revealing the true face of Lushan Mountain.

In the deep mountain with no trace of human habitation, there is suddenly a winding path of stone steps, at the end of which is a complex of palaces and pavilions, vaguely shadowed.

There is a fairy house deep in the white clouds.

"finally reached."

Seeing this scene, Zhang Yao smiled.

As recorded in Lunan, there is a simple formation in the depths of Tiandu Mountain.

These formations were set up using forest trees, clouds and mists, and had little effect on immortal cultivators, mainly to drive away some mortals and wild beasts.

Zhang Yao walked up the stone steps and soon alarmed the hermit monks in Tiandu Mountain.

"Which fellow Taoist is visiting?"

Two monks came out together, a man and a woman. The man was dressed in white and had an extraordinary demeanor. The woman had a beautiful appearance and a blue palace dress, like a lotus in clear water.

They saw Zhang Yao on the stone steps at a glance, sized him up, and found that his appearance was quite strange, so they couldn't help showing a hint of surprise:

"Dare to ask where you come from?"

Zhang Yaoji saluted first and said:

"Poverty and pure, I was lucky enough to inherit the legacy of my ancestors, and have been practicing in the world."

"A few days ago, I happened to hear that there is a fellow monk in Tiandu Mountain, so I came here to visit."

"I see."

When the two heard the words, they suddenly showed a hint of surprise.

The Tiandu Mountain Spirit Vein was originally a gathering place for the casual cultivators of the Lu Kingdom, and many people had backgrounds similar to Zhang Yao's.

"When we meet by chance, we are all guests. Friends of Taoism please quickly."

The attitude of the two became very enthusiastic, and invited Zhang Yao into the hermitage of Tiandu Mountain.

Zhang Yao looked around and found that there are at least a dozen palace buildings here, and there are peach gardens, waterfalls, bamboo forests, secluded pools, medicine fields and other scenery in the distance, which are beautiful and magnificent.

"call!"

Zhang Yao took a deep breath and tried to operate the method to breathe out the spiritual energy, and found that the spiritual energy here was extremely abundant, which was several times that of the outside world.

"Fellow Daoist, please take a seat."

The two monks invited Zhang Yao into a palace, and brought some spiritual fruits, fairy peaches, and jade dew nectar to entertain them.

"This is all cultivated and brewed by ourselves. Fellow Daoists, please try it."

Zhang Yao tasted the spiritual fruit and jade dew, and his eyes brightened.

The cultivation place on Tiandu Mountain is built on tiny spiritual veins. Even ordinary peach trees and fruit trees, under the perennial nourishment of spiritual energy, are also contaminated with trace amounts of spiritual energy.

For immortal cultivators, this small amount of spiritual energy can only be regarded as better than nothing, but for ordinary people, if they are lucky enough to take a few, they can prolong their lives.

These jade dew nectar are brewed by extracting chalcedony mixed with spiritual fruit by magic. Long-term drinking is beneficial to practice, and the flavor is far superior to ordinary things.

"The two friends are really generous and hospitable."

Zhang Yao praised.

He could also tell that some spiritual fruits and fairy peaches were nothing more than that, but these jade dew fine nectars were obviously valuable and not easy to get.

"Fellow Daoist is too polite..."

The man in white laughed, and the woman in green skirt beside him also smiled.

Zhang Yao chatted with the two of them, and learned that the man in white was named Zhao He, and the woman in green skirt was named Jiang Rou, and they were a Taoist couple.

There were originally seven hermit monks in the spiritual vein of Tiandu Mountain, collectively known as the "Seven Friends of Tiandu".

Last year, a fellow Taoist surnamed Mo broke through to the fourth level of Qi Refining, left Tiandu Mountain and went north to Weiguo. There are still six people left.

"The remaining four fellow Taoists are all in retreat."

"My wife and I were taking care of the Lingtian just now, and we noticed the fluctuation of the formation outside the spirit veins, so we came out to check."

Zhao He smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Qingxu, since you have come to Tiandu Mountain, you might as well stay and live in seclusion with us."

"The spiritual energy in the mortal world is thin, far inferior to the three major spiritual veins. I will be cultivating in the mountains, avoiding the troubles of the world, and it can be regarded as being at ease."

Hearing this, Zhang Yao happily said:

"Pindao has exactly this intention."

From the early stage of gas refining, breakthrough to the middle stage of gas refining, there are bottlenecks.

The first bottleneck on the road of refining Qi is just a small ditch for those who are talented in cultivation or immortals who have no shortage of resources, and they can walk over it at will.

But for low-level casual cultivators, this is a difficult mountain to climb.

After breaking through to the third level of refining Qi, he came to visit Tiandu Mountain precisely to use the spiritual environment here to speed up and strengthen his practice and break the bottleneck.

"That would be great!"

Upon hearing Zhang Yao's reply, Zhao He immediately clapped his hands and said with a smile:

"With the addition of Daoist Qingxu, our 'Seven Friends of the Heavenly Capital' can be regarded as worthy of the name again."

"Let's go, I'll take the fellow daoists to choose a palace first, and after the rest of the fellow daoists leave the customs, let's have a small gathering."

Zhang Yao nodded slightly and said politely:

"Then thank you, Fellow Daoist Zhao."

Soon, under the leadership of Zhao He and Jiang Rou, Zhang Yao wandered around the Tiandu Mountain Spirit Vein and chose a vacant pavilion to live in.

The three major spiritual veins have existed since ancient times, and the buildings in the land of these spiritual veins have existed for thousands of years. They were built by the ancestors who cultivated immortals.

After half a month:

The other four immortal cultivators left the customs one after another. When they learned that a new fellow cultivator had arrived, they also expressed their warm welcome and gathered together for a small ceremony.

During the dharma meeting, everyone exchanged experience in cultivating Taoism, tasted spiritual fruit and jade dew, and it was a pleasure to drink and drink.

In this way, Zhang Yao formally joined the Tiandu Mountain Lingmai and became one of the "Seven Friends of Tiandu".

…………

In the blink of an eye, three months have passed.

"call……"

In the quiet room, Zhang Yao let out a breath of foul air slowly, and opened his eyes.

"The aura environment here is indeed not comparable to the outside world, and it is of great benefit to practice."

He stayed in Tiandu Mountain Lingmai for three months and was very satisfied with everything here.

Here, the world is independent and the scenery is unique. There are magnificent wonders such as "golden roof glow", "mist sea and cloud dragon", "hanging bridge sunset".

On weekdays, there are also spiritual fruits, fairy peaches, and bigu panacea to enjoy, so you don't have to eat the fireworks in the world, you can practice with one heart, and there are also a group of fellow practitioners to communicate with.

The most important thing, of course, is the abundance of aura.

The aura environment that is several times denser than the outside world, although it cannot directly speed up the cultivation speed several times, at least it can increase it by several times.

If he chooses to come to Tiandu Mountain to practice after becoming an immortal cultivator, it is estimated that he will be able to break through to the third level of Qi refining in about twenty years.

"With my talent, if I want to break through the bottleneck and achieve the mid-stage of Qi refining, I guess I can only rely on hard work."

Zhang Yao's mood was leisurely, without any anxiety: "Take your time."
