Living in the world of cultivation

Motu Mountain is located in the west of Mirongtian. The mountains stretch for tens of thousands of miles and are dotted with more than ten human settlements.

The largest human settlement is called Wulong Valley. There are hundreds of thousands of human settlements in the entire valley, and there are countless mountain villages nearby.

Shiliang Village is also a remote mountain village affiliated to the human settlement of Wulong Valley.

In the early morning, a ray of morning light falls on the green mountains and green waters.

The quiet forest has regained its vitality again, the noisy cicada sounds sound over and over again, and countless birds are happy on the branches.

Su Fan walked out of a bamboo building and came to the stream next to it, looking at the village built in the mountains.

Hundreds of bamboo buildings stand against the mountain, a clear stream flows through the village, and a single-plank bridge in the distance crosses the stream.

In the distance, there are people working in the forest. In the near distance, yellow dogs chase chickens, making noises mixed with the chirping of cicadas.

This place can really be called a paradise.

Su Fan drove the "Ghost Crow" and flew almost non-stop for more than half a year before arriving at the desolate land on the map.

Originally, he thought that this place was barren, but surprisingly, there was such a beautiful scenery here.

After coming here for a few days, Su Fan understood why this place was called a desolate place on the map.

Because there are only a dozen small spiritual veins in the area of ​​tens of thousands of miles in the Demon Camel Mountain, and the large spiritual veins of Mi Rongtian are occupied by several races such as the Demon Kui Clan.

The Demon Kui Clan does not look down on this place at all, and the human race that depends on the Demon Kui Clan can only live here and reproduce from generation to generation.

The Demon Camel Mountain is rich in low-level spiritual herbs. Most of the dozen human settlements here grow various low-level spiritual herbs for the Demon Kui Clan in exchange for various cultivation resources and daily necessities.

The human race of Mi Rongtian, who is attached to the Mokui tribe, all survive in this form of organization. The village is attached to the gathering place, and the gathering place is attached to the Mokui tribe.

The human cultivators here have been practicing since they were very young. Most of them focus on the physical path, the beast control path, and the magic path, and also practice the talisman path, the instrument path, and the soul path.

Su Fan used a little trick to check the cultivation methods of the cultivators in the village. He felt that compared with the Qingkong Star Region, they were not a little behind.

Basic cultivation methods and spells are considered common goods in the Qingkong Star Region. They are the kind that no one would pick up if thrown on the street. They have been passed down here for more than ten thousand years.

Although he has not been to the human gathering place in Wulong Valley, he probably doesn’t have any magical secrets to show off.

What shocked Su Fan the most was that he used his spiritual sense to scan the village and found that almost everyone in the village had spiritual roots, but they were all five spiritual roots.

Three or four spiritual roots are already considered extremely gifted cultivation geniuses. It is said that only one person with two spiritual roots appears in the entire Demon Camel Mountain for hundreds of years.

If a child in a mountain village has three or four spiritual roots, he will be sent to the gathering place for careful training at a very young age.

It is said that there are only two Yuanying cultivators and dozens of Jindan realm cultivators in the more than ten human gathering places in the entire Demon Camel Mountain. The rest are foundation building and Qi training.

Su Fan couldn't help but sigh. No wonder the cultivators of various races in the Nether Bone Star Domain look down on the human race. Whether it is the Taoism or the qualifications, they can't be compared with those races at all.

The decline of human cultivators may be the result of deliberate suppression by other races in Mi Rongtian, or it may be that the human race's physique is not born to adapt to Mi Rongtian.

It is said that there are many planes occupied by the human race in the Nether Bone Star Domain, but they are all small places that other races look down on, and most of them rely on other powerful races to survive.

There is no way, there are too many powerful races in the Nether Bone Star Domain.

Powerful races like the Ghost Clan and the Mokui Clan are not only tall and strong, but also have the power of blood inheritance that defies the heavens.

They don't even need to practice. One day, they may wake up and inherit a bloodline supernatural power from their ancestors.

It's not as hard as the human race's practice. From breaking through to the Golden Core Realm, they have to overcome the tribulation and perfect their Tao heart.

Moreover, most people, after hundreds of years of hard work, cannot break through the shackles, and in the end, only a cup of yellow earth is left.

How can human cultivators compare with such a group of heaven-defying races.

Fortunately, there are only a few powerful races like the Ghost Clan and the Mokui Clan in the Nether Bone Star Domain, and the situation of most races is similar to that of humans.

Although human cultivators rely on the Mokui Clan and work hard all day to complete the offerings every year, at least the living environment is still acceptable.

If they fall into the hands of a brutal race like the Ghost Clan, it would be like falling into hell.

The ghost tribe has the dish of human beings on its menu. In the eyes of the ghost tribe, human beings are just two-legged sheep.

Thinking of this, Su Fan couldn't help shaking his head.

Now, for him, it is temporarily impossible to return to the Qingkong Star Region.

The most urgent thing is to escape the pursuit of the ghost tribe first, find an opportunity to go to other planes, and then find a way to return to the Qingkong Star Region.

But in Su Fan's opinion, this is impossible in the next few decades.

However, the Demon Camel Mountain looks pretty good, although the spiritual veins here can't satisfy his cultivation at all.

But he just wants to suppress the progress of cultivation. It is also a very pleasant thing to stay in such a beautiful place for decades.

Now his identity is that he comes from a remote village and comes to the Demon Camel Mountain for pilgrimage.

Although in Su Fan's opinion, the cultivation tradition of the Demon Camel Mountain is very backward, it is a holy place for all human cultivators within hundreds of thousands of miles.

After all, a relatively complete Taoist tradition can be obtained here, so there are countless human cultivators like him who come to the Demon Camel Mountain every year.

Now his name is Fan Su, and his realm is the ninth level of Qi training. His Taoist tradition comes from a cultivator who once lived in the Demon Camel Mountain.

This person does exist. Because his deadline is approaching and he cannot break through the foundation-building realm for his entire life, he returned to the village where he grew up.

On the way to the Demon Camel Mountain, Su Fan rested in that village for a few days and learned a lot about the situation in the Demon Camel Mountain from the other party.

In fact, no one in the Demon Camel Mountain cares about your origin. There are many places for people to practice here because the land is vast and sparsely populated.

Anyway, as long as you can complete your share of planting spiritual herbs, you can settle here.

"Brother Fan, you got up early enough..."

Just as Su Fan was thinking about it, a voice came from behind him.

The language and writing of the Mirong Tianren Clan are very different from those of the Qingkong Star Region, but Su Fan had already mastered them before entering the Demon Camel Mountain.

Su Fan turned around and saw a middle-aged man walking towards him.

He was tall, rough-looking, with a stubble on his face, a piece of green cloth wrapped around his head, and a linen shirt.

Most of the human cultivators in Demon Camel Mountain dressed like this, and even Su Fan followed the local customs and changed into such a set of clothes before entering the mountain.

Perhaps deeply influenced by the Demon Kui Clan, the human cultivators in Demon Camel Mountain are extremely rough and unrestrained in clothing, diet, and even architectural style.

This man is called Ya Kun, the owner of this mountain village, and has the seventh level of Qi training.

Yakun came to Su Fan and said with a smile: "Today, a beast team just happened to pass by the village, and you just happened to follow the beast team to Wulong Valley..."

"Village owner, I'm sorry for bothering you these days..."

Yakun waved his hand and laughed: "No, it's all easy, remember to come back to our Shiliang Village..."

"Village owner, please rest assured, I like Shiliang Village very much..."

After hearing Su Fan's words, Yakun grabbed Su Fan's hand and shook it vigorously.

"That's good, our Shiliang Village is a good place, I will definitely choose a slope with abundant spiritual energy for you, and the annual offerings are not a problem..."

Su Fan, an outsider cultivator who has practiced Qi at the ninth level, is also the target of competition among various mountain villages.

So these days, he has also received meticulous care from the village owner Yakun in the village, and even made him flattered.

In fact, Shiliang Village is a bit remote and closed compared to other mountain villages in Demon Camel Mountain, and the spiritual vein resources are also average.

Even if the mid-stage Qi training cultivators are unwilling to come, the ninth-level Qi training cultivators like Su Fan usually want to stay in Wulong Valley.

Nowadays, the pressure of offering sacrifices every year is getting greater and greater, and one more person can relieve a lot of pressure.

Moreover, there are strange beasts in the nearby mountains, and they often attack the village. With Su Fan, a ninth-level Qi training cultivator, joining, the safety of the village can be more guaranteed.

Su Fan doesn't care much, he would like to choose such a place to hide.

As for the spiritual vein resources, even the most spiritual place in the Demon Camel Mountain is not in his eyes.

So for him, it's the same everywhere.

The scenery here in Shiliang Village is beautiful, and the owner Ya Kun is also a good person, so it's not a bad idea to stay here.

"Today is just free, I will personally send you to Wulong Valley later. You are new here, and it's quite troublesome to enter your identity, and you really need someone to help you..."

Ya Kun also tried his best to keep Su Fan.

At noon, Su Fan followed Ya Kun to a canyon not far from the village.

This canyon is about hundreds of miles long, with no end in sight. There are cliffs and waterfalls on both sides, and countless natural landscapes are amazing.

The canyon is lush with vegetation, and there is a bumpy dirt road in the middle, which is obviously trampled for many years. It winds along the canyon to the distance.

Ya Kun wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then found a flat stone to sit on.

"Brother Fan, take a break. The beast team will take at least half an hour to arrive..."

Su Fan also walked to his side and sat down, then turned his head to look at the beautiful scenery in the canyon.

The two waited for about two quarters of an hour, and then heard a faint sound of bells in the distance.

"The beast team is coming..."

Ya Kun stood up from the stone after speaking, ran to the dirt road in the middle of the canyon and looked into the distance.

"Here it comes, here it comes..."

After a while, a several-foot-tall strange beast showed its huge head from the dense bushes.

This strange beast was about 20 to 30 feet long, and it was quite fast, running over in a few steps.

Su Fan took a look at it and thought he had returned to the dinosaur era of his previous life.

This guy looked almost the same as the herbivorous Triceratops of the Cretaceous period in his previous life.

Ya Kun ran over excitedly, said a few words to the monk sitting on the strange beast, and waved to Su Fan.

"Brother Fan, come on..."

There were seven or eight strange beasts in this beast team, and each of them was carrying various supplies piled up like a small mountain.

Not only that, each of the strange beasts was full of monks sitting on their backs, all of them looked dusty, and they must have walked a long way.

Such a situation is incredible in the world of cultivation. Generally, monks use storage bags or storage rings to store supplies.

But in the Demon Camel Mountain, storage tools are obviously scarce. As the owner of the village, Ya Kun still carries a bamboo basket.

This is not a cultivator, it's more like a mountain dweller.

Su Fan and Ya Kun jumped onto the back of the beast at the end of the team, and sat cross-legged on the beast's broad shell.

As the two climbed onto the beast's back, the beast team set off again, and several huge beasts took big steps and roared forward, their speed no slower than that of cars on the highway.

The beast team walked and stopped for two days, and finally they were not far from the gathering place of the human race in Wulong Valley.

When they got here, more and more people gradually gathered.

Countless huge beasts full of goods and people gathered from all directions on a wide and flat dirt road.

In addition to various beast teams carrying goods, there were also many cultivators driving fierce beasts, roaring past the beast team.

And there were also many cultivators driving flying beasts in the air, rushing past Su Fan's head.

"Look, a foundation-building cultivator..."

As a low-level cultivator in the beast team shouted, Su Fan and others also looked in the direction of his finger.

They saw a foundation-building cultivator stepping on a flying magic weapon and flying from a distance.

Many low-level cultivators in the beast team all looked at the foundation-building cultivator with shock on their faces, with deep envy in their eyes.

Su Fan took a look and turned to look to the side.

This place is really too backward. After walking for so long, there is only one foundation-building cultivator driving a flying magic weapon.

The further the beast team went, the more cultivators there were on the road. Not only the beast team and the cultivators driving the strange beasts, Su Fan also saw many people walking slowly towards the distant Wulong Valley.

Those miserable casual cultivators in Shaoyang Market back then could leave this place behind by several streets.

And according to Su Fan's observation, most of the cultivators on the road were in the early stage of Qi training, and there were few cultivators like him in the late stage of Qi training.

Okay, this is good.

At least hiding in such a backward place, it is not so noticeable.

Who would have thought that an old monster in the Nascent Soul Realm would hide among a large number of cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage.

At this time, the flow of people and beasts on the road stopped. Not far ahead was the Wulong Valley, and everyone began a long wait.

Su Fan's eyes condensed, and his consciousness swept ahead, and he saw a wide canyon entrance several miles away.

At the nearly thousand-foot canyon entrance, there was a tall wall more than ten feet high, and there was also a propped-up spiritual shield that covered the valley.

Su Fan frowned. This level of defense formation, he estimated that he could smash it to pieces with a casual blow.
