Chapter 4 The Ink Snake Dagger and the Immortal Cultivator

Yunlu Temple in Yuexi Mountains.

Cui Ning was sitting in the wing room, while eating snacks, while reading "Kaiyuan Continental Chronicles" with relish. This is a comprehensive book introducing the history, geography, culture, military and other comprehensive aspects of the Kaiyuan Continent.

If you want to understand a world, you must start with his history, so Cui Ning’s favorite thing is to read history books about this world.

Cui Ning knew that most of these so-called "official histories" were written by the winners, but there were still many events that objectively reflected the situation at that time.

In order to see these books in Yunlu Temple, Cui Ning asked the butler of the royal palace to make a bookshelves in the wing room in the temple, and then took all the books in the royal palace and placed them on the bookshelf for him to read.

Just as Cui Ning was wandering in the sea of ​​books, a hurried and joyful voice came in from outside the wing room: "Little young master, little young master!"

Hearing someone calling him, Cui Ning also retreated from the book, looked at the person coming from afar, and hurriedly said:

"What's wrong? Little Li, say it slowly."

It turned out that the person outside the wing room was a escort whom the royal palace gave Cui Ning.

"Young Master, I just wrote to the prince's mansion and the prince is back." Little Lizi said with a few breaths.

"What? My father is back? Hurry up! Have someone take me back!" Cui Ning heard this, quickly threw down the book in his hand and shouted at Little Lizi. At this moment, his heart had already flown into the palace.

After Cui Ning arrived at the palace, he was told that the prince had already been in seclusion, so he had no choice but to go to the princess's place.

Cui Ning has always felt a sense of indebtedness in her "mother" in this world, because since she gave birth to Cui Ning, the princess's body has fallen into the root of illness and she can only stay in bed in the boudoir for a long time to recuperate.

"Mother is here, Ning'er pays me a blessing to her mother!" Cui Ning knelt outside the princess' boudoir and solemnly knelt down to pay her respects to her.

"Hurry, cough. Come in, Ning'er."

The princess' weak voice came from the room. Cui Ning's heart jumped and she quickly got up and entered the princess' room.

There was a faint fragrance of medicine in the princess' boudoir, and the whole room was covered tightly. Although it was not cold, a brazier was burning in the room, and a maid was adding firewood to it from time to time.

When the princess saw her child, she looked happy and even her pale face turned a little rosy. She quickly asked someone to help her up and lean on the bed.

Not long after chatting, the topic naturally turned to King Cui.

"By the way, Mother, why did the father go out so long this time? And I went into seclusion as soon as I came back, and I didn't even see my father." Cui Ning seemed to have a complaint in his tone.

After hearing this, the princess looked at Cui Ning with a gentle face and said, "Ninger, don't complain, your father is also looking for a breakthrough this time.

"God blessed him, and finally he found it. The retreat was just to attack the highest level of martial arts masters. Once you succeed, you can..."

As he spoke, the princess began to sob, as if thinking of her eldest son who was still under house arrest in the capital.

"Mother..."

Cui Ning didn't know how to comfort her.

"By the way, Ning'er, your father also left you some things before he went into seclusion, so that you could understand it well. I will have someone bring it to you later.

"Your father reminded you that those books are what you like to read, and the most important thing is that porcelain bottle, which is a fairy elixir that is of great benefit to the tendons of the dantian. You must absorb them well and enter the martial arts as soon as possible.

"I don't expect you to kill enemies on the battlefield in the future, but I hope you can keep yourself safe after you have achieved success..."

After returning from the palace, Cui Ning kept staring at a burden given to him by the princess.

Sitting in the wing room of Yunlu Temple, Cui Ning looked at the bag on the table, his face full of excitement. Can he finally touch the mysterious martial arts of this world?

Cui Ning slowly opened the bag, and what appeared in front of him was a dagger, a porcelain bottle, and a book.

Cui Ning first took the dagger, but saw that the dagger handle was black all over, and there was a pattern similar to a python in his previous life engraved on it. The dagger was green and the cold light almost hurt, which almost hurt Cui Ning's eyes.

"I heard from my mother that these were all obtained by the father from the immortal cave in the desert."

Cui Ning looked at the dagger and said:

"It's indeed used by immortals, it's amazing." Then he picked up the small porcelain bottle and remembered what his mother said, this was a spiritual medicine that could allow him to get in touch with martial arts.

Cui Ning suppressed the idea of ​​opening the porcelain bottle and immediately swallowing the spiritual pill. He turned his attention to the last item in the bag, an immortal book called "Changhao Essays".

As Cui Ning slowly opened this book "Changhao Essay", a scroll of the world of immortal cultivation that was even wider than Cui Ning imagined unfolded in front of him.

Immortal cultivators are also called Qi training men, which are the general term for cultivators who refine the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, go against the sky, and pursue immortality.

Those who practice immortals can walk on a sword and take a human head thousands of miles away; they can also draw talismans and refine elixirs, and have a long lifespan; even those who practice immortals can move mountains and fill the sea, calling the wind and rain.

Because the cultivators have a difficult journey to pursue immortality and need to go to seclusion for a long time to practice, they have long disappeared from the eyes of ordinary people on this continent. Occasionally, fairy trails appear, but it is just that the cultivators who come out of seclusion to seek opportunities accidentally fall into their whereabouts.

Cultivating immortals is divided into eight stages: Qi refining, foundation building, golden elixir, Nascent Soul, Transforming God, Refining Void, Combining, and Mahayana.

Among them, the Qi training period is divided into thirteen layers, the first to fourth layers are the early stage, the fifth to eighth layers are the middle stage, the ninth to twelfth layers are the late stage, and the thirteenth layer is the Great Perfection.

Starting from the foundation-building period, it is simply divided into the late junior high school stage. As long as you break through the bottleneck, you can enter the next stage.

The essay records that there are still some hearings in Kaiyuan Continent below the God-Crafting Period, and the higher realm is a saying passed down from ancient times, and the master of Suiji has never heard of it.

The master of Suiji called himself the Taoist Changhao. He had a mid-stage cultivation level. He was a deacon of the Shanglin Sect of the Immortal Cultivation Sect in the eastern Kaiyuan Continent. Even the foundation-building period had a lifespan of about 200 years.

"It's really the darling of heaven and earth."

Cui Ning couldn't help but envy him when he saw that the immortal cultivator not only had a long lifespan but also had various magical powers.

Cui Ning picked up the green dagger on the table again. It turned out that this was the mysterious weapon of the Immortal Cultivation World - the Mo Snake Dagger.

The book also records the level of weapons, which corresponds to the level of cultivation. The weapons are divided into four levels: Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang, which correspond to Qi refining, Foundation Building, Golden Pills, and Nascent Soul. Further up is the spiritual weapon. Taoist Changhao has only heard of the appearance of the magic weapon itself.

Cui Ning played with the ink snake dagger and continued to look.

The essay also records the experiences of Taoist Changhao’s cultivation, the experiences of the sect, and some rumors in the world of immortal cultivation, etc.

In the last part of the essay, I also wrote about the whereabouts of a traitor who took the sect mission to the Western Desert to hunt down a Qi Refining Stage. As a result, the traitor did not chase him, but fell into the trap of the traitor. He hid in an underground cave in the Western Desert with serious injuries. Because his injuries were too serious, he could only die and disappear.

"Hey, those who cultivate immortals seem to be free and dangerous. If you don't move forward carefully, you will also be at the moment when your body dies."

Cui Ning sighed and said, then picked up the small porcelain bottle again.

"It turns out that this is the Foundation Establishment Pill, which can give the Qi Refining Stage a 20% chance of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Stage. If you simply learn martial arts, you can break through a great realm. Of course, it is better to break through the Foundation Establishment Stage. I will accept this pill that was originally given to your nephew."

Cui Ning solemnly put away the pills. At this time, his mind was no longer about practicing martial arts, but about becoming an immortal and becoming immortal.
