Mortal Cultivation: Immortality begins with the Spirit Gathering Array!

A hundred miles away from Dongyuan City to the west, in the valley of Baiyu Lake.

Baiyu Lake covers an area of ​​about five acres. The water is clear and the lake reflects the beautiful scenery of the valley. Many ordinary fishermen holding bamboo poles and rafts are feeding white jade carp in the middle of the lake.

On the edge of Baiyu Lake, there are a few scattered wooden houses. All the mortals in the entire valley look at the houses with awe in their eyes.

There is no other reason. The people living in these houses are legendary immortal masters who can fly into the sky and escape from the earth.

In a wooden house at the edge of the lake, a handsome man with a male-female appearance had a faint purple light on his face, and he seemed to be practicing his daily skills.

This person's name is Zhang Qiwen, and he has a ninth-level Qi refining level. He is the person in charge of the garrison task at Baiyu Lake, and he is also the one with the highest level of cultivation among the six inner disciples of the Hehuan Sect.

"The spiritual veins here only have the first-level mid-grade. Even if you use pills to practice, it will probably take you many years to break through to the perfect state of Qi refining..."

Zhang Qiwen finished his exercises and sat cross-legged on the wooden bed. Feeling his slow growth in cultivation, he couldn't help but sigh.

If he wants to pursue stability, he will naturally have to pay some price. If he can stay in the sect and practice, he is confident that he can achieve Qi refining perfection within five years and start preparing for a breakthrough in foundation building.

"Fortunately, my brother has obtained the Foundation Establishment Pill through his military exploits. When my brother breaks through to the Foundation Establishment stage, the difficulty of my plan to build the Foundation will be greatly reduced..."

Recalling the transmission talisman he received last month, a smile appeared on Zhang Qiwen's face unconsciously.

His elder brother, Zhang Sifan, has dual spiritual root qualifications. He had reached the perfect level of Qi refining half a year ago, and just in time for the Lingshi Mine War, he resolutely chose the path of redeeming the Foundation Establishment Pill through military exploits.

Originally, Zhang Qiwen had tried to dissuade his brother, hoping that he would not take such a risk.

But after receiving that Zhang Sifan had successfully redeemed the Foundation Establishment Pill and entered the Foundation Establishment Period in seclusion, Zhang Qiwen's uneasy heart relaxed and was replaced by a deep sense of joy.

After finishing today's practice, Zhang Qiwen got up and got out of bed. He seemed to sense something, walked out of the cave and looked at the entrance and exit of the Baiyu Lake Valley.

At this time, in addition to Zhang Qiwen, there was also a man wearing a purple robe with a white face and no beard waiting early at the entrance and exit of the Baiyu Lake Valley.

Looking at the man waiting in front of the entrance and exit, a trace of disdain flashed deep in Zhang Qiwen's eyes.

This person's name is Zhao Qingfeng. He has an eighth-level cultivation of Qi. He is the lowest among the six. After arriving at Baiyu Lake, he used the Yuanyin of ordinary women to improve his cultivation in the name of garrison duty.

As a Yuanying sect, the Hehuan Sect is famous throughout the Jiang Kingdom for its dual cultivation method, but the disciples within the sect know very well that these disciples who are addicted to the dual cultivation and tonic techniques during the Qi refining period often cannot go far.

Disciples with real potential in the Hehuan Sect can only practice advanced dual cultivation techniques after breaking through the foundation building stage.

Many disciples even deliberately retain the body of Yuan Yang and Yuan Yin, and when they have reached the later stage of foundation building through their own cultivation, they practice the secret method of Hehuan Sect and their Taoist companions, and use the innate pure Yang and pure Yin energy in their bodies to fuse. , increasing the possibility of forming a golden elixir by 10% out of thin air.

Therefore, disciples of the Hehuan Sect with real potential often value their own Yuanyin and Yuanyang more than disciples of other sects.

This also led to a chain of contempt within the Hehuan Sect. Monks like Zhang Qiwen, who aspired to the great path, looked down on those disciples who began to rely on dual cultivation to improve their cultivation during the Qi refining period.

And monks like Zhao Qingfeng, who are obsessed with men and women and pick up ordinary women, often have frivolous and mixed powers, and are at the lower end of the contempt chain.

If this guy didn't have an uncle who was in the late stage of foundation building, Zhang Qiwen wouldn't be assigned the task of stationing at Baiyu Lake this time.

Zhang Qiwen saw Zhao Qingfeng waiting here early, and immediately understood that the other party had asked Yi Wenjie to bring him the "cauldron" again.

"I haven't seen Senior Brother Zhang out of seclusion for a long time. Judging from Senior Brother's aura, he should be not far from the perfect state of Qi refining!"

Zhao Qingfeng also noticed Zhang Qiwen's presence and immediately smiled and saluted.

"I just happened to come out of seclusion and felt that the formation was activated, so I came here to take a look..."

"Since Junior Brother Zhao is here to take charge, there is no need for me, Senior Brother..."

The disdain in Zhang Qiwen's eyes was well hidden. He smiled and chatted with Zhao Qingfeng. At the same time, he used his spiritual consciousness to scan the team behind Yi Wenjie. After finding nothing unusual, he stopped paying attention.

Feeling Zhang Qiwen's spiritual consciousness sweeping towards him, Su Ming, who was hiding in the team of servants, used the Hidden Spirit Art with all his strength to hide the mana, energy and blood in his body to the extreme.

Just like the effect described in "Ling Root Theory", after the Hidden Spirit Technique reaches the second level, unless the opponent has specially practiced the secret technique of restraint, a ninth-level Qi refining monk like Zhang Qiwen will not be able to see through Su Ming's cultivation.

After Zhang Qiwen withdrew his consciousness, Su Ming breathed a sigh of relief. Like other slaves, he raised his head and looked at Zhao Qingfeng and Zhao Qingfeng with awe.

Feeling Zhang Qiwen's consciousness, Zhao Qingfeng showed a smile on his face and said with some disapproval.

"Senior Brother Zhang, why should you be so cautious? Baiyu Lake is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and it is protected by a second-level formation. In addition, Senior Brother, you have prepared..."

Zhao Qingfeng was interrupted by Zhang Qiwen mid-sentence: "Today is different from the past, junior brother, be careful what you say!"

"Before the war of the spirit stone mine ends, the other two sects may send disciples to sneak into Yuzhou to harass at any time..."

Hearing Zhang Qiwen's serious words, Zhao Qingfeng also realized that he had said the wrong thing. He smiled awkwardly and did not continue to speak, but he still did not think that the two sects would send people to such a remote place to cause damage.

Su Ming, who was mixed in the group of slaves, had a flashing look after hearing Zhao Qingfeng's words.

The ninth-level Qi Refining cultivator in front of him should be the cultivator in charge of guarding Baiyu Lake this time, and he is also the one with the highest cultivation among the six Hehuan Sect cultivators.

According to the words of the eighth-level Qi Refining cultivator next to him, in addition to the second-level formation arranged by Baiyu Lake, this person seems to have prepared other backup plans for guarding Baiyu Lake.

"There are still a few days before the Hehuan Sect cultivators leave Baiyu Lake for the market, but we can find a way to investigate..."

Su Ming found that the two of them were too lazy to even look at him, and thought secretly in his heart.

Soon, Zhang Qiwen left the entrance of the valley and turned into a flying light to fly back to the cave to continue practicing.

Amid the laughter of several women, Zhao Qingfeng also took the "cauldron furnace" sent by Yi Wenjie and returned to the wooden house. He seemed to be eager to start "practicing".

As for Su Ming and other servants, they were handed over by Yi Wenjie to a burly man with a beard.

From the following lecture, Su Ming learned that the man was called Li Qiang, who was responsible for managing Baiyu Lake.

The task of Su Ming and others was to paddle the bamboo raft to Baiyu Lake to feed the white jade carp at three time periods every day: Maoshi, Wushi, and Youshi.

Hearing Li Qiang's words, two mysterious patterns flashed in Su Ming's eyes, and his eyes flickered as he looked at the center of Baiyu Lake.
