Chapter 6 Ancient Trees Live On
Chapter 6 Ancient Trees Live On
The teenagers were either anxious, fearful, or harboring ill intentions.
Only Lu Qingyun remained calm and composed, hiding himself in the crowd as if he hadn't heard anything.
If I'm not mistaken, seizing spirit stones is just the beginning; there will be much more to fight for and grab later.
Just like delivery drivers vying for orders, orderly competition for resources can promote the rational allocation of resources.
The Yunxia Sect will not care, or rather, like the unscrupulous platform, this was deliberately promoted.
The black-robed deacon's gaze swept across everyone's faces, his expression softening slightly. He said, "Now, come one by one to receive your initiation ceremony, drip your blood to activate the jade talisman inside."
"No matter what lies ahead, from this day forward you are disciples of the Cloud Mist Sect... albeit as menial disciples."
The boys had different expressions, some joyful, some worried, as they took small cloth bags embroidered with clouds from the black-robed deacon.
Inside was a seemingly ordinary little token and five or six crystal-clear stones.
Following suit, Lu Qingyun picked up the jade needle next to the token, pricked his index finger, and dripped blood into it.
The jade talisman was immediately enveloped in spiritual light, and fragments of information entered his mind. Inside were the rules of the Cloud Mist Sect and a brief explanation of what it meant to be a Spirit Farmer.
"Sir, what are these small stones for?"
A boy asked.
"The small stones in your bags are cultivation resources distributed by the sect. Although they are just fragments of spirit stones, crushing them can slightly increase the spiritual energy around you, allowing you to draw energy into your body more quickly."
"Of course, one spirit stone is only enough for a few days. If you want more, you will have to exchange it with the senior brothers who come to collect spirit rice or other senior brothers."
"That's what the black-robed deacon said."
Spirit Stone?
The boys carefully clutched the cloth bags to their chests, afraid that others would snatch them away, and they looked at others with even greater vigilance.
Several of the physically weak teenagers were even more flustered.
They noticed that some of their companions were already casting covetous glances their way.
The boys wanted to ask the black-robed deacon for help.
But at this time,
The figure in the black robe had already vanished.
Only a distant voice remained: "Cultivation is inherently a matter of competition. But my Cloud Mist Sect also has its rules; you should all behave yourselves."
Upon hearing this, the teenagers who were about to snatch the item felt a chill and temporarily suppressed their thoughts.
They understood,
The meaning of "deacon" is that it's permissible to fight over or snatch things!
But it must be done where it is permitted and in a permitted manner.
The Yunxia Sect has a rule that prohibits fellow disciples from killing each other.
At the same time, private fights are prohibited in protected areas.
At this moment, the area in front of Lingfeng Peak has been designated as a protected area.
However, the cold glint in their eyes did not disappear, because everyone suddenly realized—
Lingtian is not within the protected area.
Lu Qingyun did not linger and headed towards the direction of Lingtian.
The area in front of the spirit peak is relatively safe, but the spiritual energy here is thin. If you want to cultivate, you must go to the spirit field.
and,
Staying here will only make you a target of everyone's anger!
The other youths also began to leave, following the jade talisman map to their assigned spirit fields.
Thanks to his past life's experiences, Lu Qingyun walked very fast, and the few teenagers following behind him were soon left behind.
Seeing that they couldn't catch up, the boys quickly went after the other, seemingly weaker boys.
Half an hour later,
Upon seeing the mountain cabin nestled among the peaks, Lu Qingyun was overjoyed.
Although this place is relatively remote, the spiritual energy here is indeed much richer than that in front of the Spirit Peak.
Other than that,
The hut and the yard outside are both protected by the rules, and private fights are not allowed.
just,
Lu Qingyun was puzzled when he saw several delicate-looking women carrying packages walking out of the small house.
Is there still someone living in this sacred field?
"Who are you, and why are you leaving?"
He quickly stepped forward to inquire.
However, upon receiving the answer, Lu Qingyun's face froze.
The green-clad woman at the head of the group bowed apologetically: "Reporting to the Immortal Master, it was the steward who just informed us that this spiritual field does not need maids, and the sect has already arranged a new place for us."
The black-robed butler is still targeting him!
They didn't even leave him a single maidservant.
Lu Qingyun's lips twitched. After the maids left, he walked into the courtyard and found it empty.
Fortunately, since there was no one to serve him, he was at most a little poor, which he had gotten used to in his previous life.
...
Anyway, he didn't come here to enjoy himself.
If he wanted wealth and comfort, he could have stayed in Daliang and become a rich man.
But he was not content; he wanted immortality... he wanted to become an immortal!
After making the bed,
Lu Qingyun's gaze was firm. He crushed the spirit stone in his hand and recalled the cultivation technique from his memory.
The spiritual energy surrounding him seemed to be just a fraction off.
The text of "The Ancient Tree Longevity Technique" is becoming increasingly clear.
"With a heart like an ancient tree, one's vital energy flows continuously; with a spirit that moves at will, one guides the energy back to its origin..."
A sudden realization dawned on Lu Qingyun: this technique was perfectly suited to him, and he only needed three months to successfully master it and draw Qi into his body.
Although the Ancient Tree Longevity Technique is not outstanding in combat, practicing this technique can cure diseases and disasters and heal people's injuries.
At the same time, as a health-preserving exercise, the "Ancient Tree Longevity Exercise" can add fifteen years to his lifespan in the initial, middle and later stages of Qi cultivation.
One's lifespan is limited to a hundred years if one cultivates Qi, but if one successfully establishes the foundation, one can live for one hundred and fifty years.
However, if one cultivates the "Ancient Tree Longevity Technique" to the late stage of Qi Refining, it can actually extend his lifespan by forty-five years.
Lu Qingyun increasingly felt that her choice was right.
In this world,
He never intended to engage in any magical battles or conflicts. Even if he could only cultivate to the early stage of Qi Refining and gain fifteen years of lifespan, he would still be guaranteed to make a profit.
"It's a pity that this technique progresses too slowly. It takes thirty years to reach the mid-stage of Qi Refining. No wonder so few predecessors choose to cultivate it."
The memories transcribed from the jade slip included the number of times the "Ancient Tree Longevity Technique" had been practiced. In the ancient records of the Yunxia Sect, which spanned hundreds of years, the number of times it had been practiced was less than a hundred.
It should be noted that the "Ancient Wood Transformation Sword Technique" has been practiced thousands of times.
This shows how little the cultivators thought of this cultivation method.
However, upon seeing the numerous methods attached to his memories, Lu Qingyun was overjoyed.
"Twin Blossoms and Shared Hearts Method": Practicing this method allows one to form a yin-yang union with a female cultivator of higher cultivation level, greatly enhancing the speed of cultivation.
[Master Juyang: I came across this technique by chance. In my opinion, the slowness of cultivation is not a difficult matter. It only requires the combination of Yin and Yang. My path of dual cultivation is not something so inconvenient!]
[Master Qingmu: The old scoundrel Juyang has caused endless harm! He lured his disciple onto the heretical path of dual cultivation, not knowing that even if he could break through to the late stage of Qi Refining through this method, the difficulty of foundation building with the "Ancient Wood Longevity Technique" is still the greatest among similar techniques, which can be described as cutting off one's own path to enlightenment!]
[Ruomu Zhenren: Qingmu Zhenren is right]
"I never imagined there was such an extraordinary person as Master Juyang!"
Lu Qingyun looked strange. This manual was like a pillow delivered to someone who was sleepy. Although both Master Qingmu and Master Ruomu said that the "Ancient Wood Longevity Technique" was difficult to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage.
But with only a low-grade spiritual root, he never dared to hope for Foundation Establishment.
He would be content if he could break through to the late stage of Qi Refining and live longer.
As for how to find a female cultivator with higher cultivation level, Lu Qingyun smiled slightly.
"It's simple! All I need is money!"
As a warrior who had been thoroughly exposed to capitalism, he deeply understood that neither fairies nor goddesses could resist Motoko.
Although the cultivation world doesn't have Yuanzi (元子), it does have spirit stones!
Once we have spirit stones, will we still have to worry about female cultivators with higher cultivation levels coming to our door?
Lu Qingyun made up his mind that once he successfully guided Qi into his body, he would find a way to earn spirit stones.
