"No wonder, it is difficult for ordinary people to see Xiantian Grand Masters and Qi Refining Realm monks."
After breaking through to the innate realm in the mortal world, Chen Xuan also understood why these innate masters no longer stayed in the mortal world.
The spiritual energy of the ordinary world is thin and cannot satisfy the cultivation of the innate master.
Without enough absorption of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the innate master will suffer from 'malnutrition'.
Innate masters, also known as Qi refining monks, use the power of true energy to strengthen their physical bodies at all times and keep their physical bodies active. They can probably live to be over two hundred years old. However, if they stay in the mortal world, very few can live to be one hundred and fifty years old.
.
Just like ordinary people, they can theoretically live to be over a hundred years old.
But most people don’t have enough to eat and don’t have enough warmth to wear. If they can live to be sixty or seventy years old, they are already old.
"There are nine levels in the Qi Refining Realm. If you stay in the mortal world, you may not be able to break through to the second level of Qi Refining even if you practice hard for decades. You still have to stay in a place with spiritual veins to practice."
"Besides that, you also need to get the skills to practice in the Qi Refining Realm."
Chen Xuan put away the formation flag and left the valley where he had been in seclusion for three months.
The Xuanyuan Qi Training Method he practices only has an introductory chapter, and the transfer of real energy is extremely slow. It only takes half an hour to complete a weekly transfer and absorb a little bit of thin spiritual energy.
With such a slow cultivation progress, even if you stay in a place with spiritual veins, the amount of spiritual energy you can absorb is limited.
Therefore, the cultivation techniques of the Qi Refining Realm are even more important.
…
…
Jin Dynasty 661, March 11th.
Chen Xuan came to Yuanzhou Fucheng to inquire about the news.
"The Wang family, the Bai family, and the Shangguan family were destroyed, and the Liu family and the Liu family took refuge in the Taiping sect."
"Baiyunfang City has now fallen into the hands of the Taiping Sect."
"The Taiping Sect seems to have foundation-building monks."
"..."
Arriving at Yuanzhou Fucheng, Chen Xuan learned a lot of news after a little research.
The Taiping Sect did not block this news and allowed it to circulate in the streets, and there was no use in concealing it. With the collapse of three of the five alliances, the state pastor, state prime minister, state captain and other high-ranking officials in the state government were all replaced.
people.
The defense of the city was also taken over by the Taiping Sect's 'rebels'.
Taiping Sect soldiers can be seen everywhere on the streets.
"Behind the Taiping Sect, there are actually foundation-building monks."
Chen Xuan was surprised.
There are nine levels in the Qi Refining Realm, and the higher you go, the more difficult it becomes to improve.
The Five Family Alliance occupied the spiritual veins and established Baiyunfang City, but there were no monks from the Foundation Establishment Realm to take charge. The strongest of the five Immortal Cultivation Families of the Five Family Alliance was the ancestor of the ninth level of Qi Refining.
But behind the Taiping Sect, there are foundation-building monks.
That foundation-building monk was the stranger who taught Zhang Yuan, the leader of the Taiping Sect, the talisman technique.
"Fighting against the Foundation Establishment monks, the five alliances did not lose unjustly!"
Chen Xuan has been in Baiyunfang City for several months and does not know anything about the world of immortality in the Jin Dynasty.
The highest combat power of the Immortal Cultivation Family in the Great Jin Dynasty is the ninth level of Qi Refining. Even the Royal Family of the Great Jin Dynasty has only had a Foundation Establishment Monk. Since the ancestor of the Foundation Establishment Monk passed away, there has been no new Foundation Establishment Monk.
Already.
Therefore, the emperor of the Jin Dynasty could only interfere with the aristocratic families in various states and rule the world together with the aristocratic families.
A foundation-building monk is enough to start a new dynasty.
Chen Xuan was walking on Fucheng Street.
The Taiping Rebellion occupied the city, and there was no chaos as expected. Soldiers patrolled the streets to maintain order.
Except for a new batch of upper-level officials, there are almost no changes for ordinary people.
How we lived before and how we still live now.
"The Taiping Religion established the Alchemy Department and recruited Talisman Makers, Spirit Planters, Weapon Refiners, and Formation Masters."
Chen Xuan continued to inquire about the news.
After the Taiping Sect took over the city, they did not massacre the common people, nor did they massacre casual cultivators. Instead, they recruited casual cultivators who were good at practicing the four arts with generous rewards. Junior Talisman Makers could receive six jade spirit coins every month.
You only need to turn in 300 primary talismans every month.
If we go by the previous price, three hundred primary magic talismans would cost only fifty kilograms of blood tooth rice and less than three jade spirit coins.
When cultivating spiritual rice and elixirs, the land rent is only half of what it was before.
If you are an intermediate talisman maker, you can directly waive the rent in the cave. The materials for making talismans are provided by the Alchemy Department, and you only need to turn in a certain number of intermediate talismans every month.
Ling Zhifu, the weapon refiner and the formation master were also treated more generously than the original five alliances.
As expected, technical talents will never starve to death anywhere. Even if there is a different ruler, as long as they are not evil cultivators, they will still need someone to farm the fields, make talismans, and refine weapons.
The casual cultivators who stayed in Baiyunfang City joined the Alchemy Department one after another.
The casual cultivators who left Fangshi to wait and see also returned to Fangshi when they saw that the Taiping Sect offered such favorable conditions.
"The Taiping Sect is so generous. It seems that it will not stop here. It will launch attacks on other states in the Jin Dynasty in the future. It is now resting and recuperating in order to accumulate more war materials."
Chen Xuan was guessing in his mind.
If the Taiping Sect was satisfied with occupying Wanzhou and Yuanzhou, it would not offer such generous conditions to recruit casual cultivators who are good at cultivating the four arts of immortality. The Taiping Sect can cooperate with the Tianyin Sect and cannot be a great benefactor.
Mortal spiritual energy is thin. If a monk uses his own true energy to fight, once the mana is exhausted, he will not be able to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to replenish his true energy, so one-time consumables such as spiritual talismans are very important.
There are also elixirs to restore true energy, offensive magic weapons, defensive magic weapons, etc. Naturally, the more materials that are helpful to Qi Refining Realm monks, the better.
Such things as spiritual talismans, elixirs, and magic weapons are equivalent to the weapons of the mortal army.
One side is well-armed from teeth to toes.
The other side only has basic protective equipment, so if they want to win, they have to use their lives to fill it.
Chen Xuan observed the area outside Baiyunfang City for about a month.
During this month of observation, he intercepted several casual cultivators entering and exiting the city, and used enchantment to control them, making them obediently tell them what was going on in the city.
He has now reached the realm of Qi refining, and staying in the ordinary world will only waste his time.
Without spiritual stones, elixirs and other external aids to assist cultivation, it would be more difficult to improve one's cultivation than to ascend to heaven.
Therefore, after confirming his safety, Chen Xuan returned to Baiyunfang City.
Previous identity tokens can still be used.
After passing through the foggy area, Chen Xuan arrived at Lingtian District on the outskirts of Fang City.
These spiritual fields are all planted with new spiritual rice and elixir.
There are scattered cultivators and magicians in the fields, gathering spirits to turn into rain and watering the spiritual fields.
All the way to Fangshi.
Chen Xuan saw that many buildings were destroyed, and charred cracks could be found on the buildings that were not destroyed.
Obviously, Fangshi also experienced a tragic war.
"It seems that the Taiping Sect attacked the five alliances and occupied the city. Some casual cultivators took advantage of the situation and gained a lot of inheritance."
Chen Xuan came to the free trading area and saw many casual cultivators setting up stalls selling magic spells, spell jade slips, methods for drawing spiritual talismans, methods for refining weapons, and even techniques practiced by five alliance cultivating families.
