City: Start practicing Chinese martial arts

After a while, Lin Tian continued to ask: "Uncle Jiu, you said you are the head of Maoshan. I heard that Maoshan mostly deals with zombies. Is it true that there are zombies in this world?"

Hearing this, Lin Jiu said, "A hundred years ago, this mortal world was almost completely overrun with demons, especially zombies. Back then, corpses seemed to easily transform into zombies, and sometimes we could even hear stories of demons slaughtering villages."

Hearing this, Lin Tian asked, "Why do I feel like there are fewer demons and monsters now?"

At this time, Lin Jiu took a sip of tea and said with some admiration, "There are two main reasons. One is that after the founding of the country, the dragon veins rose and the country prospered, suppressing these evil spirits and making them dare not show up. The other reason is that a cultivator appeared a hundred years ago."

"Cultivator?" Lin Tian asked doubtfully.

"Yes, he is a cultivator." Lin Jiu said from the opposite side.

Lin Jiu then poured a cup of tea, took a sip, and continued, "This cultivator's name is Chu Fan. His origins are mysterious, and no one knows where he came from. I first met him in Renjia Town. At that time, he had not yet embarked on the path of cultivation. He was just an ordinary person, but his innate talent was extremely outstanding, and he could be called a prodigy that only appears once in a century."

At this time, Wen Cai couldn't help but interrupt and said, "That's right! At that time, the master was willing to accept him as a disciple, but unfortunately he looked down on our master."

Hearing this, Lin Jiu's face was a little embarrassed. He raised his hand and gave Wencai a slap, shouting angrily: "You little brat, you have lived for over a hundred years and still haven't made any progress? You are so unruly all the time."

Wencai covered his head and muttered, "That's how it is..."

Lin Jiu took a deep breath, calmed himself, and continued, "Later, when we were helping the Ren family relocate their graves, the old man suddenly transformed into a corpse. I was struggling to handle him alone, but at the critical moment, Chu Fan pulled out a cannon from nowhere and, without hesitation, blasted him to pieces. I witnessed his cultivation level soar like a rocket."

Qiu Sheng, who was standing by, said gloomily, "That's why Ren Tingting fell in love with Chu Fan at first sight."

Wencai on the side gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, damn it, if Chu Fan wasn't there, Tingting would definitely be with me."

Hearing this, Qiu Sheng retorted, "Obviously, he is with me."

"And me."

"With me."

……

Facing the two people's quarrel, Lin Jiu dunked on each of them and said, "You are already adults, and you are still embarrassing yourself here."

Ignoring Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai's quarrel, Lin Tian asked, "Uncle Jiu, can cannons eliminate zombies?"

Lin Jiu said, "Ordinary cannons can't do that, but if they're magical instruments that have been blessed, they can. Chu Fan's cannon is a magical instrument that has been blessed. Of course, if an ordinary cannon is powerful enough, it can also destroy zombies."

Hearing this, Lin Tian nodded and continued, "So what happened to Chu Fan later?"

Lin Jiu took a sip of tea and said with a bit of awe, "Later, Chu Fan began his journey of killing monsters. At that time, he killed almost all the monsters and ghosts in the country. The remaining monsters and ghosts either hid in the deep mountains and old forests or fled overseas. He wanted to continue killing, but unfortunately he was stopped by the people in the underworld. As for the reason, it is unknown."

Hearing this, Lin Tian looked thoughtful and continued to ask, "What happened next?"

Lin Jiu looked out the window, a hint of longing in his eyes. He said, "After that, Chu Fan disappeared from everyone's sight. I heard that when his cultivation reached the Soul Refining Returning Void stage, he took Ren Tingting and left Blue Star."

Hearing this, Lin Tian complained in his heart: "This Chu Fan is clearly a systematic time traveler. As for him leaving Blue Star, he should have left this world and headed for the Myriad Worlds. Maybe he is now a big boss in the Myriad Worlds."

Then, Lin Tian asked again: "Uncle Jiu, you just mentioned the underworld. Is it true that there is a underworld and a heaven in this world?"

Hearing this, Lin Jiu coughed, cleared his throat, and said, "A hundred years ago, there were the Underworld and the Heavenly Court. At that time, I was considered the top figure in the Underworld. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the world entered the Dharma Ending Age, and the Underworld and the Heavenly Court disappeared. It wasn't until 18 years ago that the Underworld contacted me again, saying that a huge change had occurred in the world and asked me to prepare early."

"It's 18 years ago again!" Lin Tian thought to himself.

Then, Lin Tian seemed to have thought of something and immediately said, "Big changes, Uncle Jiu, are these the things you are talking about?"

As he spoke, Lin Tian took out his cell phone and showed Lin Jiu the recent news.

Taking Lin Tian's phone, Lin Jiu looked at the news all over the world and said, "This should be the situation."

At this time, Lin Jiu flipped to the news about the Nether Demon and said, "I didn't expect them to show up again."

Lin Tian looked at the Netherworld Demon that Lin Jiu was pointing at and said, "Uncle Jiu, do you know him?"

Lin Jiu said, "There are records in Maoshan that this monster is called the Nether Demon. During the Song Dynasty, it tried to invade Blue Star, but was sealed by us cultivators and the armored team. I didn't expect them to be resurrected again."

Then, Lin Jiu flipped through the news again and said, "Looks like I'm going to leave the mountain too."

Hearing this, Lin Tian said in surprise: "Uncle Jiu, you are going to leave the mountain. When do you plan to do so?"

Lin Jiu thought for a while and said, "Let's get ready first. I'll leave the mountain in a few days."

Upon hearing this, Wencai and Qiu Sheng, who were nearby, showed joy on their faces. After all, they had been here for almost 10 years and were extremely bored. Moreover, they almost didn't recognize what Lin Tian had just taken out.

"Okay, by the way, Uncle Jiu, do you have a place to live after you come out of the mountains?" Lin Tian said.

Hearing this, Lin Jiu smiled and said, "I have a house in the Magic City, and I have been asking Lao Fugui to help take care of it. This time I will live there first."

Seeing this, Lin Tian nodded.

"By the way, Uncle Jiu, is the cultivation of you Taoists different from that of us warriors?" Lin Tian asked curiously.

Hearing this, Lin Jiu said, "There are differences. There are five realms in Taoist practice, namely: building the foundation and refining oneself, refining essence into qi, refining qi into spirit, refining spirit into emptiness, and refining emptiness into the Dao."

After a pause, Lin Jiu continued, "Foundation Building and Self-Refining are similar to the first three realms of your warriors. They all involve polishing the physical body. After the physical body is perfected, the three treasures of essence, energy and spirit are full, and the force can reach 120 kilograms, which is equivalent to the Xiantian realm of your warriors, and the lifespan can reach years.

Refining Essence into Qi involves refining and strengthening the innate Qi within the body. Once this innate Qi has grown and filled the meridians throughout the body, perfection is achieved. The combat power of this realm corresponds to that of a Grandmaster or Grandmaster among your warriors, and the lifespan can reach 200 years.

Refining Qi into Spirituality involves using the body's innate Qi to open internal acupoints and awaken the spirit within. The combat power at this level corresponds to the Celestial Realm and Earthly Immortal Realm of your warriors, with a lifespan of up to 800 years. My current strength at the mid-stage of Refining Qi into Spirituality is comparable to the Celestial Realm Perfection of Ah Xing, the "Tathagata Palm" of your martial arts world.

Qiu Sheng sighed beside him, "Lin Tian, you're not even twenty years old yet you've already reached the Celestial Realm. I've been practicing Taoism for over a hundred years, and I'm only in the middle stage of Refining Essence into Qi, which is equivalent to your Grandmaster's Perfection Realm."

Wencai said with a bitter face: "I am even worse off. I have only just entered the initial stage of refining essence into qi, which is equivalent to you just entering the realm of Grandmaster."

They were very envious of Lin Tian and Chu Fan's talent and rapid cultivation a hundred years ago.

However, Lin Tian was not satisfied with this. He continued to ask, "Uncle Jiu, what about the next two realms? Please tell me about them."

Wencai and Qiu Sheng on the side also looked over curiously because they had never heard their master introduce it.

After hearing this, Lin Jiu couldn't help but roll his eyes and replied helplessly: "I am only at the middle stage of Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation. I don't understand the realms of Spirit Refining and Void Returning and Void Refining and Dao Merging!"

Seeing Lin Tian's disappointed expression, Lin Jiu smiled and said, "However, I have heard of the realm of refining the spirit and returning to emptiness. As far as I know, in the past eight hundred years, only Master Zhang Sanfeng has successfully broken through to this realm."

Lin Tian was immediately interested when he heard this and asked curiously, "Hasn't Master Zhang Sanfeng already reached the realm of a terrestrial immortal?"

Lin Jiu explained with a smile: "Why, aren't people allowed to practice both Taoism and martial arts?"

After hearing this, Lin Tian smiled awkwardly.

Then, Lin Jiu continued: "According to the records of Maoshan, after refining the spirit and returning to the void, one can travel in space. As for refining the void and merging with the Tao, according to the records of Maoshan, after cultivating to this level, one can crush the sun with one hand and shake the galaxy."
