Seeking the Way of Immortality

Chimang Mountain is located 300 miles northwest of Qingyang Gate and belongs to the territory of Lingyun Country. It is a place where disciples of major sects practice. There are all kinds of monsters and exotic flowers and plants, and some good things will appear occasionally.

Chimang Mountain is vast and uneven. Wu Zheng has three months to go out this time, so he is not in a hurry.

After leaving Qingyang Gate, he spent some silver to buy a horse in Qingyang Town at the foot of the mountain for transportation. Although the cultivation world uses spiritual stones for transactions, it is impossible for people to stay at home all their lives. There are still relatively few cultivators in this world. Not everyone has spiritual roots. Without spiritual roots, they cannot practice, so this world is still dominated by mortals. After all, cultivators come from mortals.

Along the way, Wu Zheng was not in a hurry to hurry. He rode a horse leisurely between the mountains and forests. During this period of uninterrupted cultivation, his body was fine, but his heart was a little tired. The purpose of cultivating immortals is to live forever and to do what you want without worries. Combining work and rest is the right way.

As he approached Chimang Mountain, Wu Zheng's mood also improved. The bottleneck of the third level of Qi training also loosened, and the depression and tension of this period of time were swept away.

At the foot of Chimang Mountain, Wu Zheng left his horse and went into the forest alone.

"This time, not only must I complete the sect's mission, but I must also make a breakthrough in my cultivation." Wu Zheng thought.

The storage bag given by the sect is only the lowest level, with a space of less than ten square meters. In the Lingyun Kingdom's cultivation world, storage bags are only the lowest level storage tools. There are also high-level storage rings, storage bracelets, etc. Some powerful space magic weapons can not only store dead objects, but also living objects.

Storage bags are also divided into high and low levels. The low-level one is ten square meters, the middle-level one is fifty square meters, the high-level one is one hundred square meters, and the best one can reach two hundred square meters, which is equivalent to a living mobile house.

"There are not many things on the periphery, so let's go deeper." Wu Zheng thought to himself. In recent years, most of the monsters and spiritual medicines on the periphery of Chimang Mountain have been obtained by others, and those left behind are either not old enough or have no value.

The sense of the second level of Qi training is still quite sensitive. After the third level, there is spiritual awareness, so that the movement of ten meters around can be sensed. Wu Zheng can't help but look forward to a higher realm.

"The first-level monster, the clouded leopard, is equivalent to the third level of Qi training. It is extremely fast, and a pair of claws can tear gold and crack rocks. I will use fireball and giant force to attack remotely, and then cooperate with the hourglass charm. Maybe I can give it a try." Wu Zheng whispered to the clouded leopard in front of him.

Do it as soon as you think of it. This has always been Wu Zheng's habit. He circulated his spiritual energy and threw the hourglass charm at the clouded leopard. A square hourglass appeared under the clouded leopard, just trapping the clouded leopard. At this time, the clouded leopard also felt the danger and jumped suddenly, about to jump out of the hourglass. It was said that it was too late. Wu Zheng suddenly launched a fireball at the moment when the clouded leopard was about to jump out. Seeing that he was about to escape, he was trapped again. The clouded leopard was angry and roared to the sky.

At the moment when the clouded leopard raised its head and roared, Wu Zheng used his inner strength to throw the fine steel sword in his hand. A white light flashed through the throat of the clouded leopard like lightning. It seemed to take a long time, but it was only a moment. It was the first time for him to kill a monster alone. It would be a lie to say that he was not afraid. The cold sweat on his forehead betrayed Wu Zheng who was pretending to be calm at this time.

Putting the whole clouded leopard into the storage bag, Wu Zheng quickly left the scene. You know, the roar of the clouded leopard just now might attract other monks. There are many cases of killing people and robbing treasures in Chimang Mountain.

After finding a hidden cave, Wu Zheng recovered his strength, took out the body of the clouded leopard, broke open the head of the clouded leopard, and did not find the beast core, so he peeled off the skin of the clouded leopard, roasted the meat of the clouded leopard with fireball magic, added seasoning, and ate it.

You should know that not all monsters have beast cores. Only a very small number of monsters can produce beast cores. Beast cores can be used to make pills or exchanged for other items. The fur and claws of monsters can be exchanged.

The whole body of the monster is a treasure. The meat of the monster can be eaten. For mortals, it is no different from an elixir. It can strengthen the body and prolong life. For cultivators, the flesh and blood of monsters can also change the physique, but the effect is minimal. Wu Zheng left the cave to look for medicinal materials and monsters on the task list.

Soul-leaving Stream is where the jade bees often appear, and it is also a good place for the production of many medicinal materials. The spiritual energy is very sufficient. The jade bees are only low-level monsters, which are only equivalent to the first level of Qi training. However, to collect the bee stings of the jade bees, you cannot use the fireball technique, because the fireball technique will destroy the bee stings and fail to achieve the effect of refining.

"As long as it is a bee, it will like nectar. I should go to a place with many flowers and plants." Wu Zheng thought.

The buzzing sound could be heard from a long distance away. Wu Zheng followed the buzzing sound and found a group of fist-sized jade bees collecting nectar. When the jade bees returned to the nest after collecting nectar, Wu Zheng used a giant force technique to increase the weight of the jade bees and made them fall down. Then, the fine steel sword danced tightly, and the sound of jade bees falling to the ground was endless. After seeing that there were about hundreds of jade bees on the ground, Wu Zheng quickly collected the bodies of the jade bees and put the honeycombs into the storage bag, and left quickly. However, this plan was obviously impossible to achieve.

"Waste, hand over your storage bag, maybe we can spare your life." Zhang Yang, who appeared at some point, said calmly.

It seemed that what he did was just a very ordinary thing.

Without seeing, Wu Zheng knew that it was Zhang Yang and others who often bullied him from the outer sect. Fortunately, there were only three people today. Zhang Yang was only at the peak of the fourth level of Qi training, and the other two were only at the early stage of the fourth level. If he caught them by surprise, he might be able to fight. After making up his mind, Wu Zheng no longer hesitated.

I can endure it inside the sect, but if you still bully me outside because I am a coward, don't blame me!

The three hourglass talismans were activated instantly. Zhang Yang and the other two thought that Wu Zheng was the coward who allowed them to bully him from the outer sect. They were still immersed in the joy of meeting Wu Zheng. They never thought that Wu Zheng, who was usually cowardly and honest, would suddenly launch an attack. The battles between cultivators are mostly about timing, especially between cultivators in the Qi training stage with similar realms.

Before Zhang Yang and the other two fell into the hourglass, they used a Vajra Talisman on themselves, and then cast two Pear Blossom Talismans. After all, Zhang Yang and the other two were cultivators at the fourth level of Qi training, and they all had spiritual awareness, so their reactions were not slow. They took out flying swords and magical instruments and slashed at Wu Zheng fiercely. The sword energy was added to his body, and the light shield on Wu Zheng flashed violently, and a Vajra Talisman was scrapped. Wu Zheng was heartbroken, and Zhang Yang and the other two were not much better off. Their clothes were tattered, and they were worse off than beggars.

It happened so fast. Zhang Yang and the other two just recovered. Wu Zheng rushed forward, took two Huiyuan Pills and put them in his mouth. He came to the three people in an instant, and waved his fine steel sword, picking up Zhang Yang's storage bag, so that he could not take out other attacking magic weapons. At this time, one of them stabbed Wu Zheng's thigh with a sword. Wu Zheng risked being injured, and the fine steel sword pierced one of them's throat. Zhang Yang and the other two were used to being free and easy, and had never seen such a scene. They were frightened for a moment. Wu Zheng didn't care whether they were stunned or not. Wu Zheng had wanted to kill these people a long time ago.

But at that time, he suffered from lack of strength and opportunity. While Zhang Yang and the other two were in a daze, Wu Zheng killed the two with two swords.

He looked around, took off the storage bags of the three people, picked up the three flying swords on the ground, destroyed the bodies of the three people with a fireball, and left quickly.

After finding a hidden place, Wu Zheng took out a few Huiyuan pills and swallowed them, and practiced and refined them. After about two hours, Wu Zheng finished his practice and opened his eyes. "This fight has yielded a lot of gains. I can sprint to the third level of Qi Refining."

As soon as he said it, Wu Zheng took out the last Huiyuan pill and swallowed it. He practiced quickly, and after a big cycle, he was already at the third level of Qi Refining.

Before coming to Chimang Mountain, Wu Zheng's third-level bottleneck had loosened. This time, with the high circulation of spiritual energy, he was only one thin layer of paper away. With the help of Huiyuan pills, Wu Zheng finally broke through to the third level of Qi Refining.

At this moment, Wu Zheng clearly felt any movement within a one-meter range around him. As his cultivation deepened, this range would increase.

"Let's see what we gain first." Wu Zheng said with a smile.

He took out the storage bags of Zhang Yang and the other two, three flying swords, two magic talismans, three bottles of Qi training pills, fifty-three low-grade spirit stones, and a marrow cleansing pill, which were equivalent to two flaming tigers of the fourth level of Qi training, a beast core, and some silver.

"Hey, there are two more booklets, let's take a look first." Wu Zheng said in surprise.

The two booklets are "Basic Alchemy Essentials" and "Dragon Body Skills".

Alchemy is a good way to earn spirit stones, you can study it. After practicing "Dragon Body Skills", the speed can be comparable to that of the late stage of Qi training, and it can be improved as the cultivation level deepens. Unfortunately, there are only Qi training methods. Wu Zheng thought.

"The beast core can be sold for about 100 low-grade spirit stones, so it's better to use the marrow cleansing pill now to deepen my strength." Wu Zheng said to himself.

The ‘Marrow Cleansing Pill’ is a second-level pill that can change the physical fitness of low-level cultivators, wash away impurities in the body, and strengthen the toughness of the meridians. It is a rare good thing in the Qi Refining Stage. Zhang Yang originally planned to take it himself to break through the bottleneck of the fifth level of Qi Refining, but he didn’t expect that Wu Zheng would get it.

Zhang Yang’s family background is also good, otherwise he can’t afford the ‘Marrow Cleansing Pill’. With his average qualifications, he has reached the fourth level of Qi Refining with the large amount of pills supplied by his family.

However, Wu Zheng doesn’t care about these at all. If others want to kill him, can’t he resist?
