Mysterious Catastrophe

After taking out the ling rice from the storage bag and pouring it into the rice tank, Aaron washed the rice impatiently, and cooked a pot of ling rice.

After the rice is cooked, the wooden lid is lifted, and a stream of water vapor rises, carrying a tempting fragrance.

"Hmm... this spiritual rice has been cooked, so it doesn't damage the spiritual energy at all... it's not bad."

Aaron took a spoonful of the rice and felt that the rice was moderately soft and firm, and the crispy and glutinous texture was very intoxicating, and he began to eat it unconsciously.

Even though there are no other side dishes, I feel that this Lingmi is quite delicious.

And after he was full, there was a stream of warm aura rising from his belly and spreading to all his limbs.

"Compared with spirit fish meat, this kind of spirit rice can increase the amount of spirit energy much less at one time, but it's better than mild and long-lasting!"

Aaron came to the exercise room, and after closing the door tightly, the room seemed to have fallen into an area of ​​absolute silence.

He sat cross-legged, trying to figure out the seventh layer of the 'Hunyuan Jue', and then began to practice silently.

When practicing, the spiritual energy in the body is quickly refined, and in the void, there are more subtle spiritual energy attracted than ever before.

Aaron was very intoxicated by the feeling of a sudden increase in his cultivation speed...

Chapter 584 Long Stay

It has been a month since Aaron rented Dongmenfang City.

He still hasn't broken through the bottleneck in the late stage of Qi refining, but Aaron is not in a hurry.

It is a small leap from the mid to late stage of Qi refining, and naturally it is not so easy to break through.

With the experience of previous breakthroughs, just polish the mana every day, and try slowly.

But vaguely, he has already felt the signs of the level loosening, which is already very fast.

"With the dual support of Lingmi and Lingmai, it is really different..."

"Even if I don't eat Lingmi, under this kind of cultivation environment, maybe I can complete the sixth level of the original Hunyuan Jue in only six or seven years!"

"And the aura in Fangshi is only second-class, and what the Dongmen family enjoys is the place where the real aura is the strongest..."

"I can't compare, I can't compare..."

After finishing today's homework, Aaron Shi ran out of the room and wandered around the market.

After his unshakable practice time every day, he still has a lot of free time, which is used to silently observe, integrate into the market, and get acquainted with the neighbors around him.

This kind of thing can't be rushed, but fortunately, he is not in a hurry at all.

"Hey, isn't this Mr. Zhou?"

At this time, in a cave not far away, an old man with gray hair and beard, wearing a pitch-black Taoist robe, slowly walked out.

He has a goatee, a handsome appearance, and his cultivation base is around the fifth or sixth floor.

"So it's Brother Fang."

Mr. Zhou greeted him casually, looking a little arrogant.

However, he does have a reason to be proud, because he is a 'talent master' who can make talismans!

Although only the lowest-level 'Fireball Talisman' and 'Golden Mask' can only be made, they can still be maintained in Dongmenfang Mayor's rented cave, and occasionally eat a meal of Lingmi, safe and sound.

This made Aaron a little jealous. Although he was very good at fireball and golden mask, casting spells and making talismans were two different things.

It's not relative, old man Zhou obviously won't teach him the ability to eat, and it's impossible to even mention it!

"This is just the talisman master who is at the bottom of the chain of contempt among the four arts of cultivation..."

Aaron looked at the back of Mr. Zhou leaving with his hands behind his back, and sighed in his heart.

According to his research and conclusion during this period, there is also a chain of contempt among the four arts of cultivation. Specifically, those who make alchemy despise weapon refining, and those who refine weapon despise painting symbols!

Then the array mage despises everyone!Because getting started with formation is the most difficult!

As for 'Ling Zhifu', or 'Ling Nong'?

sorry...that's not human...

And the more occupations at the top of the chain of contempt, the harder it is to get started!

Although Aaron is thinking about practicing a skill or profession, he also knows that inheritance is not easy, so he can only plan slowly.

At this time, I went directly to the square market, walked around, and learned about the prices in the world of cultivating immortals.

Read more to understand the market, and you will never suffer a loss when you trade by yourself in the future.

"Fellow Daoist, this magic weapon should be cheaper, it is second-hand after all."

At one stall, the gray-haired Donglong showed a pleading look on his face, and said kind words to the stall owner: "Send another piece, and send another spirit stone!"

"I charge you eight spirit stones for this black iron shield. It's really not expensive. Take a look at the furnace, which low-grade magic weapon sells for less than ten spirit stones?"

The stall owner, a big man in a tiger skin apron, replied impatiently.

"He is an ancestral handicraft, and the artifacts he makes are all high-quality goods... Your black iron shield is already somewhat damaged. Look at this corner, there are still scratches on it! Besides... If it is stolen goods, the old man has to bear the risk , seven yuan, seven yuan!" The old man Donglong stated the facts and reasoned, but this big guy just didn't sell it.

He is a master in the late stage of Qi refining. When he stared at this moment, the old man Donglong's expression froze and he swallowed his words.

Aaron just watched silently, not thinking of interfering.

Immortal cultivators have changeable minds, and if they join in now, the stall owner may think they are singing double reeds, which will not help others, but will make enemies.

And it is even more inadvisable to lend Donglong Lingshi directly. It is not a relative, but the old man probably thinks that he has some bad intentions.

In interpersonal communication, sincerity is very important at the beginning. If the first impression is bad, then everything is over.

Therefore, he waited until the old man Donglong broke his mouth and left angrily, before calling him: "This fellow Taoist..."

"What's the matter, Fellow Daoist? I'm a tenant of the Dongmen family!" The old man Donglong spoke weakly, but he was very smart, and directly reported his identity.

"Haha... In Xiafangyu, I just met a fellow Taoist when I passed Lingtian before. I want to make friends and inquire about some news. They are all in Fangshi. Can I still harm you?"

Aaron smiled and said, Fang Yu is a common name and can be used casually.

And even in the original Taize Mansion, 'Fang Yu' was not a well-known figure, and now it has been changed for several generations, so it is impossible for there to be any leaks.

Donglong looked Aaron up and down a few times, with a farmer's cunning in his eyes: "It's okay to ask questions, but I want to treat the old man to a good meal. The old man knows a spiritual food shop, which is in Fangshi. Absolutely."

"Oh? Let's go together!"

Aaron laughed.

……

After a while, the two came to a very good spiritual food shop in Donglongkou, which looked like an ordinary restaurant.

After the two went in, there were not many guests, after all, there were only so many immortal cultivators in Fang City, and they sat at a big table.

The old man Donglong immediately asked for wine, and smiled at Aaron: "The Baihua Niang in this family is really brewed with Lingmi, and it adds the fragrance of flowers, tsk tsk...it's so wonderful."

Aaron looked at the menu and found that a bottle of 'Hundred Flower Brew' would cost one spirit stone, but he didn't care much about it, so he ordered a few more meals and got three spirit stones for a table, which Donglong praised repeatedly Proud.

After the two of them were full of wine and food, the old man Donglong took out the jade-mouthed purple-gold copper pipe pot pinned to his waist, took a sip Meimei, looked at the empty rice bowl, and sighed: "The old man has planted the land for half his life. You can count the number of times you enjoy rice and spirit rice wine with your fingers... What do fellow daoists want to ask? As long as it doesn't involve secrets, this old man knows everything and can say everything..."

There was something wrong with his words, but Aaron didn't care.

Anyway, it takes a long time to see people's hearts!

He has always been willing to work hard in this regard.

After thinking about it, Aaron deliberately avoided the Dongmen family, and asked about Lin Guo's immortal world, the surrounding immortal world, and monsters.

Hearing these common questions, the old man Donglong's expression became more relaxed, and after answering them in detail, Aaron finally felt that he was not so blind to the world of cultivating immortals.

"The mortal world is in chaos again outside. The old man heard that another mortal city was slaughtered..."

The old man Donglong took out shredded tobacco from the cigarette pouch: "I don't know when the Lin Kingdom royal family will be able to suppress it..."

"Oh? Why are you sure that the royal family will win?" Aaron asked casually.

"That's natural. The royal family of the Lin Kingdom was established by the Jindan Sect—the Qingding Gate, which has been passed down for thousands of years. In the Lin Kingdom, as long as the Qingding Gate does not fall, the royal family will not fall... At most, change the emperor!" Dong Long The old man said it firmly.

Aaron suddenly realized why Huang Wenlong ended up like that.

Chapter 585 Bottleneck

"Fortunately, I didn't have the head to learn Song's supernatural powers at the beginning, otherwise I'm afraid my bones would be cold at this time..."

After seeing off the old man Donglong, Aaron secretly sighed in his heart.

"However... I should have thought about it a long time ago. Since the immortal cultivator is not without desires and desires, he obviously won't leave the world alone..."

According to the old man Donglong, the so-called iron law of 'immortal cultivators cannot interfere with the secular world' is actually a rule promulgated by Qingdingmen.

In Lin Guo, no immortal cultivator would dare to violate it.

Of course, if you don't dare to do it publicly, and play a side-ball in private, as long as you don't poke it out, the Qingdingmen generally don't bother to ask.

Only when it comes to major events such as the change of the throne, the Qingdingmen must pay attention.

'So...that Huang Wenlong may even be related to the cultivator? '

……

With his hands behind his back, Aaron walked around the market again, then returned to his cave and started cooking Lingmi.

Lin Guo has a hundred catties of rice per stone, and he has to eat at least two catties a day, which is almost finished in fifty days.

But it doesn't matter, he still has spirit stones on him, just buy another stone after eating.

Several months passed like this.

some day.

Inside the Dongfu, No. 37 C Zi.

"Tsk tsk... this environment, this aura..."

The old man Donglong who came to the door for the first time glanced left and right, his face full of envy: "If the old man has such a house in Fangshi, then death is worth it..."

"Ahem...I didn't buy it, but rented it, and half of the lease period has passed..." Aaron sighed, "I originally wanted to spend all my savings and work hard to break through the late stage of Qi refining... ...didn't expect it to be so difficult."

This is a lie. In fact, Aaron felt that it took only two days to break through the late stage of Qi refining.

When he said this, Donglong also showed emotion: "Is this a bottleneck? My generation of immortal cultivators are all trapped by bottlenecks and want to die..."

The two have been together for several months, and he has become more relaxed when talking.

After all, this old man has a bit of a big mouth.

The old man Donglong sighed: "Whenever you encounter a bottleneck in your skills, you have to rely on time to work it out slowly, but I don't know if it will take years or decades, or even a lifetime!"

"The second method is to take risks and fight... Gain insights in the front line of life and death. Those who survived have passed the level, and even more died."

"The third method, which is the safest and most convenient, is to buy various spiritual objects that can help breakthroughs, such as panacea!"

"The first two methods are not very reliable, and the third method is the best...however, there is a lack of spirit stones."

Aaron sighed: "Also, in those elixir shops, the supply of elixir that can increase one's skill is in short supply, and I have never seen an elixir that assists breakthroughs..."

"Of course, how precious is the spirit pill that breaks through the realm? It is also used to assist the middle stage of Qi refining to break through to the later stage... According to the old man's estimation, you can only occasionally see it at the annual small auction... and the big one that happens once every ten years At the auction, you will definitely see it!" Old man Donglong is worthy of being a local snake, and he has heard a lot of this kind of news.

"Oh? Is there an auction for 'Establishing Dan'?" Aaron's eyes lit up.

He now also knows that the immortal cultivators on the tenth level of Qi Refining need the assistance of the 'Building Foundation Pill' if they want to break through the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Of course, it is not impossible to attack by yourself, but the success rate is extremely low, only about [-]%, and if you fail, your meridians will be cut off and you will die!

He would never gamble, so he could only plan for Jidan in advance.

"Taking 'Building Foundation Pill' can not only greatly increase the confidence in building the foundation, but also save your life even if you fail... It is impossible for anyone to sell it."

The old man Donglong laughed and said: "Once it appears, even the Dongmen family will tear their faces apart, regardless of the rules... Otherwise, if we have another foundation-building monk among our casual cultivators, wouldn't it be to shake the rule of the Dongmen family?" foundation?"

"Old man Donglong, don't you claim to be an offshoot of the Dongmen family?" Aaron said with a sideways glance at him.

"Hey...Junzi Zhize, even if he was killed in the fifth generation, we even changed our surname, what else can we say?" The old man Donglong took out the jade-mouthed cigarette pot nonchalantly, lit the shredded tobacco, and took a puff: " The old man is limited by his aptitude, and he will be like this all his life, but my good son is really talented, and when he grows up, the old man will send him to Qingdingmen!"

The relationship during this period of time let Aaron know that this Donglong man is old-hearted and has a lot of wives and concubines in his family, all of whom are mortal women who have been recruited.

Moreover, his eldest son is only a mortal, and has already died of old age, while the youngest son is not yet ten years old...

Secretly despised Donglong in his heart, Aaron heard Donglong continue to say: "Brother Yu, do you want to ask for a few concubines? Now is a good time, the world is in chaos outside, even if everyone is a lady, a wealthy family The daughters of the first line are also available at this time, so you can pick whatever you want..."

During this period of time, the chaos in the Lin Kingdom spread. It is said that there have been several battles, and there are mountains of corpses everywhere, and many refugees have been created.
