Longevity starts with learning

One day, purify seven pounds of Que Ling ore.

Equivalent to 0.7 degrees of spiritual energy, 0.7 pieces of broken spirit.

This is already a considerable harvest.

By dusk and sunset, when the shift was over, several colleagues in the warehouse had already known each other for a long time under Chu Mu's deliberate friendship.

Including Chu Mu himself, there were a total of eight guys, four of whom were old guys who had worked in Li Ji Mine for several years.

According to Chu Mu's observation, these guys were all money-making masters. It was these four old guys who refined the ore day and night, and their cultivation was above the second level of Qi training.

Among the remaining three, one was named Sun Xing, who joined Li Ji Business half a year ago. He was not talkative, and his cultivation had entered the first level of Qi training for a long time. He was also a money-making master.

There were two others, one named Han Feng, a normal name, but he was a flattering lackey. He didn't do much every day, but he was full of attention to curry favor with the young master and martial arts manager of Li Ji Business.

The last one was Hou Cheng, who had entered Li's business a few days earlier than him and had also entered the first level of Qi training for a long time.

There were eight people in total, and he was the only one who had just entered the immortal path.

The only one he could find a topic to talk about was Hou Cheng.

As for whether the erosion of the spiritual ore would have hidden dangers, these guys were obviously not very clear, and the results of their inquiries were all ambiguous.

The only one who could speak was Hou Cheng, who had just arrived and was obviously not clear.

They all knew nothing, and Chu Mu didn't ask too much, after all, he was not familiar with them.

Not long after he was off duty, he returned to his room.

He was calm and calm, sitting cross-legged, and all his attention was already focused on his body.

The mana of the first level of Qi training was not much, or even very little.

But the quality of the mana itself was very high!

Two or three strands of mana were enough to complete the refining of a pound of Que Ling ore.

Of course, he was only in the first level of Qi training now, and he had not accumulated many strands of mana in total.

Chu Mu even felt that with his current mana, he probably wouldn't be able to cast a spell if he was given one.

However, having less mana also has its advantages, at least... it recovers quickly.

There are only a few strands of mana in total, and if it is consumed, it will be enough to recover in a few minutes.

Similarly, there are only a few strands of mana in total, and Chu Mu can observe it thoroughly.

The erosion of the Queling Mine is cold, and his mana is fire-attributed mana. The two are incompatible.

According to common sense, it is obviously impossible to hide without the survival soil of the cold breath of the Queling Mine.

Chu Mu has observed it back and forth countless times, and it is always the same!

Mana and cold breath are incompatible.

And the God...

Chu Mu carefully felt the existence of the God's consciousness, but the focus of his perception was not the God's consciousness itself, but the belief that was rooted in the God in the dark.

That sharp knife skill!

Perfect knife skill.

The supposedly illusory ability to lift heavy objects with ease and light objects with ease is now embodied in reality.

This is due to belief, and belief is rooted in God!

As Chu Mu practices swordsmanship more deeply, his understanding of this point becomes more and more profound.

And the sharpness of swordsmanship rooted in God seems to be becoming more and more obvious.

This feeling... is very illusory.

Every time Chu Mu holds the sword, he clearly feels that belief is rooted in God, as if in some mysterious way, it is affecting God.

This influence, different from the nourishment of God by spiritual energy, seems to add the sharpness of swordsmanship to God...?

Chu Mu is not sure, and he has been confused before.

But today, according to his observation, the time spent by other immortal cultivators to remove erosion seems to be longer than his.

This is not an illusion, but his observation, and he has compared the data!

What is special about him now?

Spiritual brilliance?

Linghui value is precious. He can't use Linghui value every time to remove erosion. Even if it is the first contact today, the Linghui blessing is at most used to observe whether there are any hidden dangers.

Not Linghui, his special feature is obviously only the sharpness of the blade in the dark.

Chu Mu glanced at the knife skill proficiency on the light screen panel, and his eyes moved slightly.

The feeling of perfect knife skill is still too illusory.

Just like now, he guessed that it was the sharpness of the blade that worked, but he wanted to observe and confirm it, but he had no way to start!

"Perhaps, the next level of perfection..."

Chu Mu murmured to himself. The knife skill has shown its magic, and his talent for knife skill is very good. He obviously wants to explore this unknown road.

Even, it is possible that there is such a way in the world of cultivation, but he just doesn't know it.

Then, Chu Mu suppressed the distracting thoughts in his heart again, closed his eyes slightly, and slowly began to practice the Qi training realm.

The Fiery Art, it should be said that the practice of Qi training realm is not much different from the original Qi and blood practice.

One is to absorb the essence of grains, meat and vegetables, refine it into Qi and blood, and accumulate Qi and blood.

And now the practice of Qi training realm, the word "Qi training" obviously explains it very clearly.

Breathing in spiritual energy, refining spiritual energy, and turning it into magic power, it is just such a process of hard work.

In this process, every process, the consciousness plays a leading role.

There is no doubt that the loss of consciousness in Qi training is very great.

With his current cultivation, the practice time is no more than two hours, and he has to stop practicing, empty his mind, and give his soul time to relax.

If not, it means that the spiritual consciousness is over-consumed, which is harmful rather than beneficial!

As for exercising the spiritual consciousness through excessive consumption, Chu Mu had already experimented with this kind of thing.

And the result of the experiment can only be said to be more loss than gain.

According to Chu Mu's cognition, exercise is often accompanied by nourishment.

It is like practicing Qi and blood, exercising the body, nourishing the medicinal power, and the essence of grains and vegetables.

Nourishing, plus exercise, is a normal cycle.

As for the excessive consumption of spiritual consciousness, he has no means to nourish it. Although the spiritual energy is magical, but...

For the body, he can manipulate the spiritual energy, and nourish and refine it in a planned and targeted manner.

But for the soul, he has no cognition, and obviously dare not experiment as arbitrarily as he does with the body.

Without sufficient and clear means of nourishment, excessive consumption of spiritual consciousness will only cause trouble for oneself and lose more than the gain.

Chu Mu estimated that there must be a method of training the spiritual consciousness in the world of cultivating immortals. The principle is nothing more than the cultivation of qi and blood, a clear understanding of the soul, and then a clear training system and an external force nourishing system.

Two hours later, it was already late at night.

Chu Mu opened his eyes. After two hours of practice, he could not hide his fatigue between his brows.

When he glanced at the insignificant progress of the Fiery Art on the light screen panel, this fatigue seemed to be more intense.

Chu Mu let out a long breath, his mind moved slightly, and he hid the light screen panel.

The slow progress of the Fiery Art was really a bit of a blow to his mentality!

Out of sight, out of mind!

Pulling out a book from under the quilt, Chu Mu leaned against the head of the bed and flipped through the book to divert his attention.

The book originated from the Jade Emperor Valley Market. The man from the law enforcement team once said that if he lived in the Jade Emperor Valley after reaching the Qi Training Realm, he had to report it and learn the rules of the Jade Emperor Valley...

The report had naturally been made long ago. Chu Mu raised his hand and touched it, and a small white card appeared in his hand.

The card was about the same size as the ID card in his previous life. The material seemed to be some kind of paper, but it felt like some kind of metal, cold to the touch.

If you use your spiritual sense to perceive it, it is blocked by a thin layer of light film. Obviously, this thin card is also a kind of refining artifact.

Its source is the existence similar to the secular household registration yellow book issued after reporting to the Jade Emperor Valley Yamen.

On the left side of the front of the card, Chu Mu's appearance was engraved on it by some unknown means. On the right side, the place name of the Jade Emperor Valley and Chu Mu's own cultivation were on it.

On the back was a bird's-eye view of the entire Jade Emperor Valley. The picture was beautiful, just like the real thing.

According to the cultivator who issued the card, if one's cultivation progresses, if one is in Jade Emperor Valley, one must report again and change the household registration certificate.

The book in his hand is the rules of Jade Emperor Valley.

The book has dozens of pages, and every page is a rule!

The strict rules of Jade Emperor Valley are also clearly reflected in this book.

Chu Mu flipped through the book page by page, and his understanding of the Jade Emperor Valley market and even the world of cultivation was also broadened little by little.

After about half an hour, he slowly put the book down. At this time, the original fatigue had turned into an indescribable mixture of emotions.

He felt that perhaps he could use one sentence to describe this book of rules called Sun's Law.

That is... everything that can make money is written in this Sun's Law!

In other words, everything that can make money is controlled by the existence that rules Jade Emperor Valley, and rules are set, prohibited in the form of laws, and absolute power is used to suppress disobedience.

For example, the law stipulates that in the area ruled by the Sun family, any spiritual veins, mineral veins, and natural treasures belong to the Sun family.

Although this law has a big loophole, for example, if Chu Mu really found natural treasures in the wild, he would naturally ignore this bullshit rule.

But... why do immortals exist?

It's because of spiritual energy!

And spiritual energy comes from spiritual veins!

And spiritual veins, such a large and obvious thing, obviously can't escape the control of the Sun family.

According to Chu Mu's inquiries today, spiritual veins and spiritual energy can be blocked, just like this Jade Emperor Valley, a second-level spiritual vein. If it is ignored, then the area within a thousand miles must be full of spiritual energy!

But even in the Jade Emperor Valley, the spiritual energy can be said to be thin.

What is the reason?

The second-level spiritual vein in the Jade Emperor Valley was sealed by the Sun family, and its spiritual energy was only supplied to the houses in the market according to specifications.

And the houses in the market are all rented and not sold!

Outside the spiritual veins, immortal cultivators can do whatever they want, but they still need to practice.

To practice, they can only enter various markets, rent houses in the markets, and deliver spiritual stones to get spiritual energy supply!

Only by going to the markets can there be enough immortal cultivators, and only then can the market exist, and only then can the buying and selling needs of immortal cultivators be met.

Obviously, the ruling mode of the immortal cultivation world is different from that of the secular world. Whether it is a sect or a family that rules a place, they only occupy the spiritual veins, and then use the spiritual veins as the foundation to establish the market.

If immortal cultivators want to practice, they can only move closer to various markets, and thus can only choose to accept the rule and rules of the market controllers!

Compared with those somewhat empty rules outside the markets, the rules within the markets are obviously more pragmatic and strict.

After all, the existence of spiritual veins is destined to bind immortal cultivators to spiritual veins in many things.

Including taxes, criminal laws, corvée, commercial laws, land...

In all aspects, there are interlocking laws and rules, forming a big network that covers all aspects of the market.

The intention is very clear, that is, outside the spiritual veins, there is little benefit, but it is a big trouble, so I don’t bother to care!

In the market, it is to make all the immortal cultivators become consumables and serve the interests of the rulers of the market.

As for the interests of the rulers of the market, they cannot be violated in the slightest!

Extracting souls to light lamps, the souls fly away!

In the punishment measures, the lives of immortal cultivators are very cheap and not cared about!

Obviously, as far as this book of laws is concerned...

The intention of the law is not only clear, but also naked and unconcealed...
