Four or five hours later, Tianjiu raised his head. He finally finished digesting the general contents of these three books. In fact, it is not necessary to write down all the contents, as long as you understand the general content.
"Cultivation Notes" roughly introduces the basic situation of the world of immortality, such as the classification of cultivation in the world of immortality, the classification of monsters and beasts, the identification of monsters and ghosts, etc. What interests Tianjiu the most is the introduction to the five sects of Dongling Mountain.
Huachen Sect is one of the five major immortal cultivating sects in Dongling Mountain.
According to the minutes, more than 2,000 years ago, the five gates of Dongling Mountain were originally one gate - Dongji Gate, which was founded by the genius of immortal cultivation Dongji Zhenren. However, after Dongji Zhenren unexpectedly died, Dongji Gate instantly fell into pieces.
None of his five major disciples surrendered to the other. After a long and protracted battle, there was still no result and a large number of casualties were caused.
Finally, under the strong intervention of the three top wealthy families in Yuling, they had no choice but to divide the foothills of Dongling Mountain equally. The eldest disciple occupied the training ground of Dongji Master and established the current Dongling Sect, while the other four disciples established the Huachen Sect respectively.
Tianyi Gate, Danshan Cloud Pavilion and Qianji Gate.
Huachen Gate was once very famous when it was first established. It was as powerful as Dongling Gate, which claimed to be orthodox. After decades of overt and covert competition, it occupied dozens of mountain peaks.
And after a thousand years, Huachen Sect has plummeted and reached the end of the road. Not only is the monks ranked last in strength, but there are only five peaks, namely: Elder Peak, Tiandu Peak, Yizhi Peak, Red Leaf Peak and Dengxian Peak.
Of course, this does not include Huachen Peak, where the Supreme Elder is located. There are only a dozen or so minerals, medicinal gardens and plantations under its jurisdiction, and most of them are barren lands.
There are only five thousand Huachen sect disciples, of which 80% are outer sect disciples, while the inner sect disciples are only over 800, and the rest are just some handymen and guards. As for the high-level monks, those above the foundation building stage, only
Less than three hundred, there are only five people in the golden elixir stage.
The Dongling Sect is still brilliant, occupying 69 peaks, and has tens of thousands of monks, including dozens of golden elixir old monsters; while the Tianyi Sect has suddenly emerged, occupying forty-one peaks, and more than a dozen golden elixir people; Qianji Sect and
Danshan Yunge also occupies more than twenty peaks, and they are all extremely wealthy.
Seeing this, Tianjiu lamented for a long time. He was really a liar. He was so miserable that he ended up in a declining sect and just became a pigherder that everyone was afraid to avoid.
"Huachen Sect Rules" is the thickest, with over a hundred pages. It contains various rules of Huachen Sect, down to the management of pigherders, with clear regulations. For example, Tianjiu is the only pigherder now. According to
It was stipulated that he must hand over three hundred kilograms of spiritual pigs every month for the food of the sect.
Monks in the world of immortality, after reaching the foundation-building stage, can live without eating anything, but spiritual pigs, spiritual tea and spiritual grains, commonly known as the three spirits, can not only fill their stomachs, but also absorb some spiritual energy from them. Compared with eating from the air,
The spiritual energy obtained from the neutralizing crystal is softer and purer. It is the first choice food for injured high-level disciples and all low-level inner disciples.
As for the outer disciples, these three spirit items are luxuries. Although they are the producers of the three spirits, few outer disciples can eat them three times a day. At most, they can treasure them until they are sick or injured.
, take it out to condition your body.
The sect's rules also stipulate that all Hua Chen disciples are not allowed to defect or go out without permission. Once discovered, they will be punished by death, and the minor punishment will be confiscation of food rations. If there is no food rations to be punished, they will be imprisoned instead.
To be jailed is to go to the Huachenmen Mine to mine ore on a voluntary basis. Of course, mining ore is not only tiring, but you may also run into venomous snakes and beasts, and even monsters. That would be tantamount to death for a low-level Qi Refining disciple.
It is mentioned in "The Spiritual Pig's Experience" that the life and death of the outer disciples are very indifferent in the eyes of the sect. There are no less than dozens of people who die in the mines every year, and few high-level officials care about them.
Among the sect rules, you are not allowed to kill fellow sect members, and you are not allowed to look down on your elders. The most surprising rule is that those who have reached the level are respected, and there is no distinction between internal and external. As long as the person is one level higher in cultivation, he is the elder;
He is the elder brother. The inner disciples have absolute power. In addition to training and practice, they do not need to do any chores. Any inner disciple can discipline the outer disciples, even if the outer disciple is much higher than the other disciple.
There are three main ways to enter the inner sect of Huachen Sect. The first is - the annual Dongling Mountain selection, the second is - the recommendation of Huachen Sect's senior management, and the third is - Qi refining within thirty years old.
Ninth level monk.
This valley is the outermost sphere of influence of Huachen Sect and is not protected by the sect’s formation. The peak to the east is Huachen Sect’s Immortal Peak. The other three sides are barren mountains and do not belong to Huachen. Huachen has no power.
To develop it, unless Hua Chen wins the ownership of the mountain. I heard that there are many monsters inside, and it is almost impossible for low-level disciples to come out alive.
The sect rules also mentioned that there are extremely powerful restrictions around each mountain peak, and even a set of small restrictions are placed around the valley. Disciples below the sixth level of Qi Refining must not go out on their own, otherwise the consequences will be serious.
.
"Experiences of Spiritual Pigs" is the most practical for Tianjiu. It explains in detail the habits and methods of raising spiritual pigs, as well as insect and disease prevention, etc. It is almost detail-oriented and covers every aspect. Tianjiu speculates that this should be written by some senior pig herder.
Write.
After Tianjiu learned this, his stomach growled again.
However, he was not impatient at all. He had already learned from "Experiences" that the valley was full of potatoes, and it was said that it also contained a trace of spiritual energy, which tasted slightly bitter. Although the spiritual energy did not have much effect on low-level cultivators, it could be used for low-level cultivators.
There is no problem in feeding the pigs, so in the past, when the number of spiritual pigs did not reach the stipulated number, the confiscation of rations had no impact at all on the pigherders here. Because of these yams, the sect almost never distributed food here anymore, only every two months.
Law enforcement disciples who symbolized the surname brought some small grains, just to improve and adjust the food.
Tianjiu hurriedly divided the piglets into more than a dozen pig pens, cut dozens of kilograms of small thread grass from around the hillside, and put them into each pig pen.
According to "Experiences of the Spiritual Pig", if the spirit piglets do not eat for too long, they will starve. As long as they are hungry once, they will no longer grow from then on. Small thread grass is planted in each pig pen, and the hillside outside
There are mountains and fields all over the mountains. This kind of grass is the favorite of spiritual pigs. The piglets only need to eat a little bit. After half a month, when the piglets grow to more than ten pounds, they have to go up the mountain to cut the grass, because at this time the grass in the pig pens is
The growth rate cannot keep up with the eating speed of piglets.
The reason why Tianjiu went to the hillside to cut the grass just now was because the small grass in the pig pen had already been eaten by the pigs that Old Man Mi took away.
Spirit pigs are actually very easy to raise, as long as they are well fed and drank, and protected from rain and insect bites. As long as they are not too lazy, a spirit pig can grow to twenty or thirty pounds.
After doing all this, Tianjiu dug a dozen sweet potatoes in the field, built a pile of firewood, and roasted the sweet potatoes. After a while, the aroma of roasted sweet potatoes filled the valley, and Tian Jiu sat on the ground and ate them.
stand up.
Suddenly, a little thing jumped out of his broken backpack and let out two crisp sounds of "croak".
"Huh? Little frog! Are you still in the bag? I forgot about you. Are you hungry?" Tianjiu asked while munching.
The little frog nodded and stared at the potato in Tianjiu's hand.
"Eh? Aren't you someone who eats dead bodies? Do you want to eat this too?"
The little frog nodded again and licked the corner of his mouth.
"Well, I won't give it to you. You've made me so miserable, raising pigs in this place where birds don't poop, and you still want me to give you food? You think so beautifully. There are so many sweet potatoes in the fields.
You can just grab one and eat it yourself, I will never stop you." Tianjiu scooped the roasted sweet potatoes to his feet while eating.
The little frog shook his head vigorously and pointed to the roasted potato with his toe.
"Oh, oh! You want to eat this roasted thing? Oh, you are so funny. Look at me, a poor young man, with nothing to eat or drink here, no one to teach me how to practice, and I don't know how to get back.
.You are still robbing me of food? If I didn’t use it to roast you, then I’m treating you well. You can stay cool wherever you want, don’t bother my eyes.” Tianjiu said with a loud smacking sound on purpose.
The little frog held his head with his feet and lay on the ground pitifully, seeming to be crying.
"Don't come here, it's like this again! I won't give you anything to eat unless you bring something in exchange. Our leader asked me for all the things I wanted. I bought a copy of the "Inner Spirit Heart Sutra". Do you have it? If not, go aside."
The little frog's body shook even more.
"Humph! There's no point in crying. I swear, I will do my best to pluck my feathers from now on, and I will never do any business that loses money."
The little frog slowly stopped and looked at Tianjiu aggrievedly. With a plop, he spit out a small bead the size of a grain of rice, which was dazzling.
"Eh? What is this? Is it a treasure? Damn frog, you really have a treasure? Haha! I laughed to death!" Tianjiu jumped up with joy. He just deliberately teased the little frog, but the little frog didn't know it.
There is really something hidden. Although I don’t know what kind of treasure this is, but seeing the little frog reluctant to let go, it must be no different.
"Come, let me see, what other treasures do you have hidden?" Tianjiu picked up the little frog between his thumb and forefinger, raised it in front of his eyes, and looked at it carefully. Then he poked the little frog's white belly with his fingers, and it felt soft.
It's soft and no different from an ordinary little frog, except that the two dark circles under its eyes are particularly glaring and awkward.
"Hey! I didn't see anything. Can you vomit or pull something out?"
The little frog opened its big mouth and shook its limbs vigorously, as if protesting what Tianjiu had done.
"Okay, since you took out the things, I reluctantly gave them to you. Well, these roasted sweet potatoes belong to you." Tianjiu threw the little frog on the ground and pushed a few sweet potatoes to it.
On the edge.
The little frog gulped and ate.
While Tianjiu was eating roasted sweet potatoes, he was studying the 'millet grain', but he still couldn't figure out how to use it. He decided to wait until the next time the little frog was hungry before teasing it, maybe he would know how to use it.
In this way, he looked at the little frog with eager eyes. The little frog's anthropomorphic expression almost completely understood every word he said. All these made Tianjiu feel that the little frog must be a spiritual creature, which is very extraordinary.
The little frog squinted his eyes and saw Tianjiu's eyes. He turned around quickly, turned his back to Tianjiu and started eating again...
After filling his stomach, Tianjiu went outside and carefully browsed the surrounding scenery.
All around, there are tall and majestic peaks that reach into the clouds. They are infinitely taller than the peaks seen on Earth. On top of the peaks, giant trees are lush and green, reflecting most of the sky into a dark green color, leaving only a small piece of blue floating in the air.
At the top of Lingzhu Valley; in Lingzhu Valley, the fragrance of flowers is overflowing, and many unknown flowers and plants are blooming; a small river is dotted in the flower clusters and bushes not far away, and from time to time it makes the sound of tinkling water.
; Several small hills were lying in the valley, and occasionally a few small rabbit-like animals jumped out from them. They looked at the sudden appearance of Tianjiu, a foreign monster, and were silent for a while. Then with a swish, they disappeared by the river.
Above; birds with colorful feathers chirp in the grass and trees, and groups of wild cranes pass overhead from time to time, leaving behind the sound of contending in the open space...
I have to say that this is an extremely beautiful place. If it were on earth, perhaps it could be called a fairyland on earth.
Tianjiu lay tiredly on the grass. Although the sun was shining, his heart was extremely gloomy.
