Chapter 1 The Inheritance of the Ancestor of Earthly Immortals

In the northern part of the red wasteland, Wuyun Ridge running east-west is like a blue dragon, lying on the red wasteland.

As its name suggests, the characteristic of Chihuangyuan is "barrenness".

There is no vegetation in the entire red wasteland, and the spiritual energy is thin. Only Wuyun Ridge has lush vegetation.

The streams originating from the mountains gave birth to fertile oases and nurtured many human races.

In the northwest of Wuyun Ridge, there is a small mountain named Yujin Mountain.

There is a piece of flat land halfway up the mountain, with several acres of spiritual fields opened up on it.

In the center of the spiritual field is a well with a diameter of more than three feet.

Liu Yuanchen pulled out a bucket of water from the well, and saw layers of light mist covering the well water in the bucket.

He put one hand into the bucket, and the green light flashed away, and there was a trace of green light in the water.

He picked up a ladle, scooped water from the bucket, and watered several elixir seedlings in the spiritual field.

After a ladle of water went down, the leaves of those seedlings that were a little wilted suddenly became brittle.

At this moment, a young man wearing a green robe came to the flat land.

He shouted to the young man: "Junior Brother Liu, it's time to hand in this year's harvest."

Liu Yuanchen put down his hoe, walked up to the visitor, bowed his hands and said, "I've met Senior Brother Zhang."

Zhang Jingcheng waved his hand: "You are so polite to me, how is the harvest this year?"

Liu Yuanchen replied: "This year we harvested a total of 270 jins of golden rice and 230 jins of red millet."

Golden silk rice and red millet are both spiritual grains, which are grains containing spiritual power. They can be regarded as the lowest cultivation resources.

In places with abundant spiritual energy, spiritual grains can be harvested three times or even four times a year.

However, the spiritual energy of Yujin Mountain is exhausted, and it can only be maintained by a well with some spiritual energy. It can only be planted one season a year.

If too much is planted, it will cause soil degradation in the spiritual field.

Zhang Jingcheng had a smile on his face: "Junior Brother Liu, your Shen Nong Technique has made great progress!

Since the spiritual spring in Yujin Mountain dried up, leaving only one well with some spiritual energy, the harvest in the spiritual field has declined year by year.

I remember that three years ago, the output of golden silk rice was only about 200 jins, and the output of red millet was only 1,780 jins.

You have only been here three years, and you have increased the output of Linggu so much.

If you are allowed to take charge of Songyun Peak's medicine field, I'm afraid the sect can earn thousands more spiritual stones a year. "

Liu Yuanchen said with a smile: "Senior Brother Zhang is ridiculous. Our Qingdan Sect is famous for its divine farming skills and alchemy skills. There are many brilliant elixir masters and alchemists in the sect.

My younger brother just happens to have some talent for Shen Nong, and he mainly relies on hard work.

Ask me to take care of a large medicinal field, but I don't have the ability. "

Zhang Jingcheng looked at his dark face and the bulging muscles on his body. It was obvious that he often did hard work under the bright sun.

"Back then, you could have stayed in the mountain gate as a spiritual medicine master, taken care of the spiritual fields casually, and collected five or six spiritual stones in a month. Why bother coming to Yujin Mountain?"

Liu Yuanchen smiled bitterly and said: "You also know my situation. The distant descendants of the Liu family in Dongyang have only awakened the third-class middle-grade immortal species.

Now he is almost eighteen years old, and he only has the fourth level of cultivation of Qi.

I am not taken seriously by the family, and the main descendants of the Liu family in the sect do not take me seriously.

Without enough resources, a lifetime of hard training can only achieve the ninth level of Qi cultivation.

There is absolutely no hope of breaking through the Qi Sea Realm. "

The so-called immortal seed is the medium through which human monks absorb and refine the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

The human race itself cannot absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. A few people are born with a special energy in the sea of ​​consciousness between their eyebrows.

People with this special energy can absorb and refine the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and embark on the path to immortality.

Therefore, this special energy is called fairy seed.

Immortal seeds have no physical form, but they can take on various forms, including birds, beasts, vegetation, utensils, etc.

The realm of nourishing qi is the first major realm of cultivating immortals. The first four realms are nourishing qi, sea of ​​qi, condensing yuan, and spiritual platform.

Before the realm of nourishing qi, there is also the realm of refining which lays the foundation.

It's just that the realm of refining does not involve immortal seeds and spiritual energy. Mortals without immortal seeds can practice it, and it is generally not considered a realm of immortality.

The founder of Qingdan Sect is a master of Lingtai realm.

Later, no one from the Qingdan Sect could break through to the Lingtai Realm. Now the top master in the sect is at the Ning Yuan Realm.

As for the Liu family, the strongest elder is only in the middle stage of the Qi Sea Realm and has not even touched the edge of the Condensing Yuan Realm.

It is almost impossible for a monk with an inferior immortal species to break through the Qi Sea realm without a chance encounter.

Liu Yuanchen, a third-grade middle-grade immortal, has some hope of breaking through to the Qi Sea realm, but he needs a lot of spiritual aid.

No force would be willing to cultivate such a talent in the barren red wasteland, and they would have to rely entirely on their own resources.

Liu Yuanchen sighed: "The steward in charge of the medicine garden over at the mountain gate is from the Chen family, and the Liu family and the Chen family are old enemies.

As a descendant of a distant branch, I have not enjoyed many benefits from the Liu family, but because my surname is Liu, I am targeted by Manager Chen everywhere.

If you stay in the mountain gate, being shouted at all day long, and you don't even have time to practice, what future can you have?

If you are not careful, your spiritual stones will be deducted.

It is said that there are five or six spiritual stones a month, but if you can get two or three, you will be thankful.

For such a small amount of spiritual stones, I have to pretend to be a grandson all day long.

This is not a spiritual stone, it is simply useless money! "

Hearing this, Zhang Jingcheng couldn't help but laugh: "Yes, at least I can hide and relax here.

No matter how deep the feud between the Liu and Chen families is, they will not travel hundreds of miles to come here to trouble you. "

After the two chatted for a few words, Liu Yuanchen took Senior Brother Zhang into the cave nearby.

This cave was Liu Yuanchen's cave residence, which was guarded by a simple formation.

The two came to a stone house at the deepest part of the cave residence, and saw two animal skins spread in the stone house, with two small piles of grains piled on them.

The slightly larger pile of grains was full-grained rice, with fine golden threads on the snow-white rice grains.

This was the golden silk rice, a first-grade middle-grade spiritual grain.

The other pile of grains was similar to sorghum, and was red as blood. It was the first-grade low-grade spiritual grain red millet.

Zhang Jingcheng scanned it with his spiritual sense and nodded: "The quality of these spiritual grains is much better than before, and the weight is correct.

According to the old rules, as long as the Yujin Mountain spiritual field produces 200 kilograms of golden silk rice and 200 kilograms of red millet, you can get an annual salary of 20 spiritual stones.

The extra spiritual grains will be purchased at 80% of the market price.

One piece of golden silk rice is five kilograms of spiritual stones, and one piece of red millet is ten kilograms of spiritual stones. You should be given an extra 12 spiritual stones."

He took out a rough animal skin bag: "Here are 32 spiritual stones, Junior Brother, please count them."

Liu Yuanchen took the animal skin bag and saw a spherical space with a diameter of three feet inside.

Inside the space, there are 32 gray translucent stones, each of which is only the size of an adult's thumb.

This animal skin bag is the lowest level storage bag.

You can't put too many things in it, otherwise it will be crushed.

In addition, the more things this storage bag is filled with, the heavier it will be.

If it is filled with hundreds of kilograms of things, it will be extremely inconvenient to carry it on your body.

It is only suitable for storing spiritual stones, clothes, magic tools, etc., which are not too heavy.

The storage bags that can be seen on the market are all low-level goods of this kind.

The higher-level storage magic tools only appear in legends.

Senior Brother Zhang took out two larger storage bags, put the two piles of spiritual grains into the storage bags, and said goodbye and left.

After he walked away, Liu Yuanchen came to a place with lush vegetation in the back mountain.

He sat cross-legged in the bushes, closed his eyes, and used his spiritual sense to sense everything around him.

Low-level cultivators can only see a vague black and white world when using their spiritual sense to explore.

Objects and creatures with spiritual power will have special fluctuations.

However, in the world observed by Liu Yuanchen's spiritual sense, the plants and trees are vivid and flashing with green light.

He operated the basic wood-based technique Qingmu Jue, and the extremely thin spiritual energy around him was absorbed into his body.

At the same time, those green lights also left the plants and entered Liu Yuanchen's body, and gathered along the meridians to the sea of ​​consciousness between the eyebrows.

In Liu Yuanchen's sea of ​​consciousness, there is a sapling. The sapling is like jasper and emits a green light.

The sapling is more than three inches tall and has six leaves. This is his immortal seed.

At the root of the sapling, there is a piece of black soil.

Around the black soil, there are dozens of black gold-like gravel.

This sapling, black soil, and black gold-like gravel are all real, not a group of energy phantoms.

Especially the black gold gravel, Liu Yuanchen still remembers it clearly. It was this meteorite that brought him to this world.

In his previous life, Liu Yuanchen was a college student in Blue Star Huaxia who had just started to accept the beating of society.

On the way home from get off work in the early morning, he suddenly saw a meteor streaking across the sky.

He whispered to himself: "It is said that 'if you believe, there is, if you don't believe, there is nothing', so it's okay to make a wish to a shooting star.

Please bless me to win a medium-sized lottery, a small goal is also acceptable.

Also, let my black-hearted boss ascend to heaven as soon as possible."

Before he finished speaking, the shooting star actually hit him.

At the last moment, he only saw a black gold meteorite hitting his forehead.

In this life, when Liu Yuanchen was ten years old, he used the Immortal Mirror to detect immortal seeds in the Liu family's ancestral land.

At that time, the Immortal Mirror emitted a white light and shone on him.

Liu Yuanchen, who had not yet broken through the Yangqi realm, found that he could actually look inside the sea of ​​consciousness. He "personally" saw a black gold meteorite in the sea of ​​consciousness.

Under the irradiation of the white light, the meteorite broke into dozens of pieces.

Stimulated by this black gold meteorite, he also recovered the memory of his previous life.

After the meteorite broke, there was a piece of black soil inside, and there was a fist-sized "baby" in the soil.

This "baby" existed for less than a breath before it turned into ashes, leaving only a green seed the size of a fingernail.

The seed completely absorbed the white light, quickly sprouted, and grew into a small sapling.

A moment later, a one-inch-tall sapling appeared in the Immortal Mirror.

The sapling in the mirror was exactly the same as the sapling in his sea of ​​consciousness.

However, the black soil and broken meteorites at the roots of the sapling were not shown in the Immortal Mirror.

However, there were two white auspicious clouds around the sapling in the mirror.

The color and number of auspicious clouds are the basis for determining the grade of immortal seeds.

Grade A immortal seeds show purple-gold auspicious clouds, grade B immortal seeds show golden auspicious clouds, and grade C immortal seeds show white auspicious clouds.

Three auspicious clouds are of high quality, two auspicious clouds are of medium quality, and one auspicious cloud is of low quality.

There are two white auspicious clouds around Liu Yuanchen's immortal seeds, so he is naturally a grade C middle-quality immortal seed.

If there are no auspicious clouds around the immortal seeds, then they are not of the mainstream immortal seeds.

After awakening the immortal seed, Liu Yuanchen fell into a coma.

During his coma, a scene appeared in his sea of ​​consciousness.

On an ancient tree with lush branches and leaves, thirty baby-like fruits were hanging.

The immortal light was lingering on the tree, which was quite extraordinary at first glance.

Under the big tree, a Taoist wearing a purple gold crown, a crane cloak, and holding a jade whisk sat cross-legged.

In front of him, there were a few little boys.

Although his appearance could not be seen clearly, from the posture, the Taoist seemed to be preaching to these boys.

But Liu Yuanchen could only roughly see their movements, but could not hear what they said.

In the scene, the perspective gradually zoomed out, and the ancient tree was in a Taoist temple.

On the plaque at the gate of the Taoist temple, there were three big characters "Wuzhuang Temple".

At this time, Liu Yuanchen woke up from his coma and sat on the bed in a daze, his heart was extremely shocked: Wuzhuang Temple? Ginseng fruit tree?

When the fairy seed was tested before, the meteorite broke, revealing a fist-sized baby, exactly the same as the ginseng fruit in Wuzhuang Temple.

The leaves of the sapling are also very similar to those of the ginseng fruit tree.

In this way, my fairy seed is a ginseng fruit sapling.

Isn't the Taoist who preached to the boy the ancestor of earthly immortals, Zhenyuan Daxian?

The baby who awakened the immortal seed just now was a ginseng fruit. Eating one can live for 47,000 years, and it's gone just like that.

Although the sapling was left, when will it bloom?

The legendary ginseng fruit tree blooms in 3,000 years, bears fruit in 3,000 years, and matures in 3,000 years.

Even if the sapling blooms now, it will take 9,000 years to eat the fruit.

The life span of a cultivator who nourishes qi is 120 years, that of a cultivator who cultivates qi sea is 240 years, that of a cultivator who cultivates condensation is 500 years, and that of a cultivator who cultivates spirit platform is only 1,000 years.

How easy is it to live for 9,000 years?

...

After that, when Liu Yuanchen entered into a state of meditation, he would occasionally see the scene of Zhenyuan Daxian preaching.

As his cultivation level improved, he could actually hear some sounds from the preaching scene, but they were just unclear.

Moreover, the immortal seed gradually showed its extraordinary qualities.

When practicing, one can feel the vitality of plants and trees, and can extract vitality and integrate it into the immortal seed.

Later, he could actually understand some of the content of Zhenyuan Daxian's preaching, including the cultivation method of earth immortals.

According to the content of Zhenyuan Daxian's preaching, earth immortals need to rely on caves and blessed lands to practice.

The so-called caves and blessed lands are a small world that has not grown up.

Whether it is a natural cave and blessed land, or a self-developed one, it can assist in cultivation.

Most natural caves and blessed lands have been stable after years of growth.

It is extremely difficult to go further.

The earth immortals are bound to the caves and blessed lands, and the caves and blessed lands cannot be improved, and the cultivation of the earth immortals can only stay where they are.

The caves and blessed lands developed by themselves have a higher degree of fit with themselves, promote each other's growth, and have a very high upper limit.

However, the initial investment is very high, and you need to find a treasure as the basis for opening up the caves and blessed lands.

This treasure can be a natural treasure or a man-made magic weapon, but it must have a deep connection with the cultivator himself.

When Zhenyuan Daxian was cultivating himself, he refined the ginseng fruit tree and used it as a foundation to open up a blessed land.

Wanshou Mountain Wuzhuang Temple is Zhenyuan Daxian's blessed land, but it is of a very high level, which has exceeded the scope of a cave.

…

The vitality of the plants and trees merged into the immortal seed, and the whole sapling swayed gently, and the two leaves at the top grew a little.

Then, a pure mana surged out of the sapling, followed the meridians and left the sea of ​​consciousness, and flowed through Liu Yuanchen's body.

He only felt that his qi and blood were strengthened a little, and his whole body was full of strength.
