Mortal Cultivation: Immortality begins with the Spirit Gathering Array!

Tianchi Peak, Guiyuan Courtyard.

A ray of cyan light fell into the eyes of many disciples from other courtyards who had not yet embarked on the path. These disciples all had envy in their eyes, as if they were imagining how they would fly among the Tianjiao after practicing.

"Hahaha, what kind of wind is this? Junior brother, you, an ascetic monk, actually have time to visit me, senior brother!"

Hearty laughter rang out, and Zhou Xun walked out of Guiyuan Courtyard, looking at the much more mature junior brother in front of him with a smile on his face.

Su Ming's spiritual consciousness, which was no weaker than that of the late stage of Qi refining, made him notice that Zhou Xu's spiritual power was somewhat insubstantial, but the fluctuations of his spiritual power had increased significantly. It was obviously a breakthrough in his cultivation recently, and he said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for many years. Senior Brother Zhou’s cultivation has actually broken through the ninth level of Qi Refining, it’s really gratifying!”

"Given Senior Brother's age, there might still be hope of building a foundation!"

Hearing Su Ming's words, Zhou Xun smiled and shook his head: "Junior brother, don't make fun of me. Brother, I am already forty-nine years old, and I have only reached the ninth level of Qi refining. I am still far away from the perfection of Qi refining, let alone It’s about building a natural moat.”

"Even if I'm lucky enough to reach the point where my Qi refining is perfect before my Qi and blood dries up, what's the use without the Foundation Establishment Pill? Senior brother, do I still have the courage to fight to the death to pass the test?"

"When I turn sixty, senior brother, I will prepare to apply to the sect to return to the mortal world, get married, have children, and become a rich man while my energy and blood have not yet dried up."

"If one of the descendants is lucky enough to have spiritual roots, let him join the Guiyuan Sect and continue the cultivation path of his useless ancestor. If there is no spiritual root, my senior brother's shallow cultivation will be able to protect the family's prosperity for three generations."

"As for three generations later, senior brother and I will have nothing to do with each other. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. By then, senior brother and I will also become a pile of dirt..."

Zhou Xun's tone was calm, free and easy, and a little self-deprecating, as if he was already thinking about the days when he would return to earthly life as a wealthy man.

But Su Ming and he had been together in another hospital for two years, and the look of loneliness that occasionally showed in Senior Brother Zhou's eyes could be seen clearly.

Now that he has embarked on the path of cultivation, if he were not trapped by his qualifications, who would not want to live forever and live freely between heaven and earth? It's just that the cruelty of the world of immortality has smoothed the young man's mind.

As Zhou Xun said, with his qualifications, so what if he could reach the perfection of Qi refining before his Qi and blood dried up at the age of sixty.

Without the Foundation Establishment Pill to protect the meridians, failure to attack the Foundation Establishment stage would lead to death.

Zhou Xun is a true portrayal of a disciple with low qualifications. Even in the Yuanying Sect, there are only a few who can break through to the foundation building stage. The vast majority of disciples do not have the courage to fight to the death in the end.

Most of the remaining disciples who forcibly entered the Foundation Establishment Stage sat in the cave, and only a handful of them were able to successfully break through without relying on the Foundation Establishment Pill, and then stepped into a new world.

Hearing this, a hint of melancholy appeared on Su Ming's face. If it weren't for the existence of "Hetu Luoshu", wouldn't Zhou Xun's future be his future?

"If you don't say these spoiler words, junior brother, you finally come here for once. You have to have two drinks with senior brother today no matter what!"

Before Su Ming could speak, Zhou Xun smiled broadly, holding his hand and walking into his cave.

Zhou Xun's joyful mood also brought a heartfelt smile to Su Ming's face.

People are so strange. Some people can't get along with each other for a lifetime, but some people feel like old friends at first sight.

It has nothing to do with interests or cultivation.

Zhou Xun could be said to be Su Ming's only confidant in Guiyuan Sect, and he could only feel so relaxed when he sat and discussed things with Zhou Xun.

After leading him into the cave, Zhou Xun invited Su Ming to sit down, poured him a cup of spiritual tea, and chatted with Su Ming.

Su Ming smiled slightly and picked up the spiritual tea in front of him to taste it.

When the tea was in his stomach, there seemed to be a few rays of cool breath rushing to his brain, which made Su Ming feel refreshed and his consciousness seemed to be activated. The depression caused by the failure to hit the bottleneck many times not long ago was swept away, and a hint of surprise could not help but appear in his eyes.

Seeing Su Ming's surprised look, Zhou Xun showed a bit of complacency on his face and said with a smile:

"This spiritual tea is called ebony tea. It has the effect of refreshing the mind and warming the mind. It takes ten years to germinate and form leaves. The yield is not much. I bought it when I participated in the market auction a year ago. I am waiting for you. Come and taste it together.”

"Hahaha, senior brother knows that you don't like drinking, how about it? Is this ebony tea still to your liking?"

Hearing Zhou Xun's words, Su Ming smiled on his face, but shook his head and said:

"For us, this tea is just to satisfy our appetite, and it does not help much in our practice. Senior brother, there is no need to waste spiritual stones for junior brother. If there are monks in future generations, senior brother may as well save more spiritual stones for them. To pave the way, we don’t have to be as hard-pressed as we were when we were practicing..."

Before Su Ming could finish his words, he was interrupted by Zhou Xun waving his hand: "You kid, you've been like a brat since the first day we met, and now you're starting to preach to me, senior brother?"

Seeing Zhou Xun pretending to be angry, Su Ming laughed loudly, raised the spirit tea in his hand and said:

"Hahaha, don't dare, don't dare! Junior brother offered tea instead of wine to apologize to senior brother!"

"That's right! Practicing one thing is too much, it's better to combine work and rest. Drink!"

In this way, Su Ming and the two started chatting over tea instead of wine.

After about a cup of tea, Zhou Xun put down the tea cup in his hand and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that junior brother actually joined Fulu Hall. It's really a good thing. It's no wonder that junior brother's cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds in just a few years. He has cultivated to the level at such an age. With the sixth level of Qi training, there is hope for foundation building in the future!”

"It's just a fluke. Junior Brother just has some talent in Talisman Dao." Su Ming waved his hand, and then said: "Brother knows very well about Junior Brother's qualifications. In the later stage of Qi refining, he will definitely encounter bottlenecks. I came here to ask questions. Senior brother, is there any news about the realm-breaking elixir?"

After chatting for a while, Su Ming got down to business and asked Zhou Xun about the news about the realm-breaking elixir.

Although Zhou Xun has quit the inner sect and became a deacon, he is also a ninth-level Qi refining monk. He has been in Guiyuan Sect for many years, and his background is far superior to Jiang Caiyun, a sixth-level Qi refining monk.

After hearing Su Ming's words, Zhou Xun showed a genuine smile on his face and joked:

"Senior brother, I know that your mind is full of cultivation all day long. If you didn't encounter problems in your cultivation, how could you have time to come to my place for tea?"

"But you really asked the right person about this!"

Zhou Xun's face showed a complacent look, and he glanced at the empty teacup calmly.

Seeing this, Su Ming understood it, stood up, poured a cup of tea for Zhou Xun, and said with a smile: "This is my fault, senior brother, please don't be angry with your junior brother..."

Zhou Xun raised the spirit tea in his hand, took a sip and said with a smile: "Hahaha, if you, junior brother, break through the foundation building stage and become a foundation building uncle in the future, I will ask the foundation building monks to pour me tea in advance!"

"Just this alone, I can brag about it for the rest of my life!"

After saying that, Zhou Xun did not disappoint Su Ming, took out a wooden token from his arms and threw it over.

"Fengmufang City holds an underground auction every three months, which will auction some rare magical artifacts and elixirs. However, participants are required to have a certain net worth, and they also need to be recommended... "

"This ebony tea was bought by senior brother at the underground auction. It happens that there are only three days left until this underground auction. If junior brother wants to buy the realm-breaking elixir, you can go and take a look."

Su Ming took the token with a hint of surprise on his face, and then said seriously: "Thank you, senior brother. Junior brother will return the token after attending the underground auction!"

"What else can I give you? I gave you the token, and it's not that precious. I really think that as a senior, I have practiced in vain for so many years. If I want to participate, I have a lot of skills."

"You're welcome, junior brother!" Su Ming put the token into his storage bag and thanked Zhou Xun.

For Su Ming, the question that was out of place was just a casual suggestion for Zhou Xun, a sect deacon at the ninth level of Qi Refining.

This also made Su Ming sigh with emotion. The world of cultivating immortals was really hierarchical.

This kind of underground auction may not be important news to the inner disciples, but for outer disciples like Jiang Caiyun who are trapped in the bottleneck of the late stage of Qi refining, it is important information that can change their lives.

Fengmufang City is located near the sect, and Guiyuan Sect disciples can be found everywhere in the city. However, Jiang Caiyun was trapped in a bottleneck and couldn't find a way out. The so-called "wide range of friends" was only limited to the outer sect disciples, and he didn't mix in at all. In the circle of disciples.

Cultivation is everything. If you don't have it, you won't be able to grasp the opportunity even if it's around you!

"We must reach the late stage of Qi refining as soon as possible and enter the inner gate!"

After this incident, Su Ming secretly decided that despite the fact that he and Jiang Caiyun enjoyed the treatment of inner disciples after joining Fu Lu Hall, they were still essentially outer disciples. Even the information about the realm-breaking elixir was so tortuous, let alone the precious data. Times the foundation building pill.
