The Mortal's Path to Immortality

"This is a sword that I infused with magic. Did you defeat it with just one move?"

Cao Rui was holding the Youquan Sword, and was surprised to see the octopus demon kneeling down.

Cao Rui had expected that this little demon was not his opponent.

But he didn't expect that this guy would be scared with just one move.

Maybe it was because Cao Rui was holding the Youquan Sword in his hand.

The octopus demon suddenly opened its mouth.

A black bag was spit out.

The octopus demon used a tentacle that had not been cut off to hold the bag and slowly sent it to Cao Rui.

"This is..."

Cao Rui's heart moved.

With a light pick of the Youquan Sword, the black bag fell into Cao Rui's hand.

As soon as he touched the black bag, its texture gave Cao Rui a strange feeling.

Subconsciously, he used magic to explore it.

The next moment, a small space of one cubic meter appeared in Cao Rui's consciousness.

"Sure enough, this is the storage bag of the cultivator..."

"I didn't expect it to be in the mouth of this monster."

"I came to the right cave this time."

Cao Rui was surprised.

Cao Rui glanced at the octopus monster in front of him, and its ugly appearance seemed much more pleasing to the eye.

Cao Rui did not kill it for the time being.

But vigilance is indispensable.

Cao Rui left the cave and came to the pile of bones at the exit, and then used his consciousness to carefully explore the things in the storage bag.

There were very few things in the storage bag.

I think the owner of the storage bag had run out of money before he died.

Cao Rui tried to take out the things in the storage bag.

After a slight consumption of magic, a booklet appeared in Cao Rui's hand.

"Guangyuan Zhenren's Notes."

This thing that looks like a diary is the first thing Cao Rui noticed in his storage bag.

Cao Rui opened this 'Guangyuan Zhenren's Notes'.

The first sentence is: Guangyuan Zhenren came from our ordinary martial arts sect, and a mere Qi-refining casual cultivator called himself a Zhenren, ashamed...

This humble remark made Cao Rui smile faintly, and he couldn't help but continue reading.

Soon, Cao Rui realized the importance of this note to him.

'Guangyuan Zhenren's Notes' records the deeds of Guangyuan, a casual cultivator, from the martial arts world to the immortal world.

It is recorded in the form of a diary from a personal perspective.

Of course, Guangyuan does not write Japanese dramas every day.

He just records what he thinks is interesting and bizarre.

Basically, Guangyuan only records when he encounters new knowledge in the immortal world.

For example, the first page records the story of how I first encountered the effects of spiritual stones:

[Guangyuan Zhenren's Notes·First Entering the Immortal Path]

Today is the beginning of my entry into this vast world of immortal cultivation. I feel both nervous and full of longing.

The dust of the past has dissipated with the clouds and smoke, leaving only a heart that is ardent and firm towards the Tao.

Entering the Immortal Cultivation Market, I know that everything in this world of immortal cultivation can be used by me.

Spiritual stones are the foundation of cultivation, containing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. For those of us who have just entered the immortal path, they are like nectar to dead wood.

"Immortal Cultivation Market?"

"Spiritual stones?"

Cao Rui carefully read the contents of the notes at the back.

Finally, he found the location of the Immortal Cultivation Market.

On the west side of Changyuan in Xiao State, jumping off the cliff is the 'Changyuan Immortal Cultivation Market'.

This ‘Changyuan Xiuxian Market’ is also the only market for cultivators in Xiao State.

It was built on a micro-spiritual vein.

At first, it was a place for several casual cultivators to gather and practice.

After becoming famous, it gradually attracted many casual cultivators and became the Changyuan Xiuxian Market.

This Xiuxian Market is very free and is controlled by three principals.

You only need to pay a spiritual stone every year to become a formal member of the market.

Formal members are eligible to vote for the principal, and the rules also allow them to run for the principal.

The most important role of the market is to provide a safe trading environment for cultivators.

In addition, Changyuan Xiuxian Market is built on a micro-spiritual vein after all.

Cultivation in the market is three times faster than in the outside world.

Half an hour.

Cao Rui finished reading the entire notebook.

Because Guangyuan was already over sixty years old when he entered the world of immortal cultivation.

He switched to cultivating immortal cultivation as a congenital master, and his own immortal cultivation talent was weak.

Therefore, Guangyuan's days in the world of immortal cultivation were not long.

Even so, it was enough for Cao Rui, who knew nothing, to benefit a lot.

Cao Rui knew the grades of spirit stones.

Low-grade spirit stones: the most common spirit stones, with dull color and thin spiritual energy, suitable for low-level cultivators to use for basic cultivation and supplement daily consumption.

Middle-grade spirit stones: compared with low-grade, middle-grade spirit stones are brighter in color and have a higher concentration of spiritual energy, which can more effectively promote cultivators' cultivation and accelerate spiritual accumulation.

High-grade spirit stones: high quality, pure and abundant spiritual energy, are the preferred materials for high-level cultivators to practice, refine magic weapons or set up formations, and are very valuable.

It is said that there are also top-grade spirit stones and spirit crystals on the earth.

But Guangyuan has never seen them with his own eyes.

Spiritual veins also have levels.

Micro Spiritual Veins: This is the lowest level of spiritual veins, with thin spiritual energy, which can only be used by a very small number of basic practitioners to barely maintain their daily practice.

Shallow Spiritual Veins: The spiritual energy is slightly thicker than Micro Spiritual Veins, but not enough to support high-level practice, suitable for low-level cultivators as a preliminary practice site.

Clear Spiritual Veins: The spiritual energy is clear and stable, suitable for cultivators at the foundation-building stage and below, which can accelerate the practice process and improve the efficiency of practice.

Orchid Spiritual Vein: Known for its orchid color, the spiritual energy contains a faint fragrance, which helps to calm the mind and is suitable for cultivators who cultivate their mind and inner elixir.

Mysterious Crystal Spiritual Vein: The spiritual energy is mixed with fine spiritual crystals, which can be directly absorbed and refined, which is beneficial to Jindan stage cultivators and is an important resource for cultivation advancement.

Below Changyuan Xiuxian Market is a micro spiritual vein.

From Guangyuan's notes, it can be seen that the spiritual veins in Xiaoguo and even the entire Yunzhou are extremely rare.

If you can find a spiritual vein, then be happy secretly, no matter what level of spiritual vein it is.

Cao Rui also knew the most important thing, the level of cultivation.

Although there are twelve levels in the Qi Refining Stage, it is the lowest level of cultivators.

The levels of cultivators can be specifically divided into Qi Refining Stage, Foundation Building Stage, Jindan Stage, Infant Stage, and God Transformation Stage.

Qi Refining Stage: The starting point of the road to immortal cultivation. The cultivator absorbs the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, refines it into the body, gradually cleanses the marrow and strengthens the bones, and strengthens the physique and magic.

At this stage, the cultivator cannot fly in the air and needs to rely on magic tools or spirit beasts to travel.

Foundation Building Stage: After the completion of Qi Refining, the cultivator needs to go through the foundation building tribulation to condense the spiritual energy in the body and stabilize the cultivation.

After the foundation building, the cultivator is considered to have truly entered the door of immortal cultivation. He can fly in the air, his lifespan and strength are improved, and he can initially perform spells and magical powers.

Golden Pill Stage: After the foundation building, the cultivator needs to further compress the spiritual energy and condense the golden pill.

The cultivators in the Golden Pill Stage not only have increased strength, but can also fly and travel around the world.

The quality of the golden pill will directly affect the future cultivation achievements of the cultivator.
