Take your childhood sweetheart to cultivate immortality

Liu Wenwen and the other two followed the manager's instructions and headed south of the city. They were truly blessed with an eye-opener along the way.

Some used the magic of sprinting, some used spells to summon fire and refine elixirs, some used brushes to draw talismans in the air, and some threw a seed into the soil and used magic to instantly make a tree grow. It was truly eye-opening and like an illusion.

Liu Wenwen ran to the big tree and touched it carefully. It was a real big tree, not an imaginary tree.

"Hello, old man. We are mortals who have just arrived in Yunshen City. We are very ignorant. I wonder how you can grow a big tree in an instant. What kind of magic is this?" Liu Wenwen asked an old man in tattered clothes.

"Oh! Girl, you have good eyesight. This is the longevity technique passed down from my ancestors. If you want a copy, just two hundred low-grade spirit stones and I, an old man, will sell it to you." The old man gestured with the word "two" and smiled at Liu Wenwen.

"Don't be fooled by him, little girl. He has been selling this business for more than ten years. He only uses this trick to deceive mortals like you who know nothing," said the middle-aged man next door who was wearing brown shorts and had a full beard.

"Hey, it's you who's ruining my business again. Do you think I dare not hit you?" The old man said as he was about to make hand gestures and cast a spell.

"Haha, with your immortality skills, you can hurt me, come and threaten me," said the middle-aged man. The old man was so angry that he ignored him. His business had been disrupted many times by him. He couldn't beat him and was so angry that he had no choice.

The middle-aged man suddenly turned around and looked at the three people.

"Are you mortals from outside the area? Where are your elders at home? Why would they let you wander around out there?" the middle-aged man asked the three people in confusion.

"We are the disciples selected by Tianyan Sect in the mortal world. My uncle is busy with something, so let us go ahead." Shen Runze replied to the middle-aged man first.

"Oh~Tian Yan Sect! So you are a disciple of Tian Yan Sect. Nice to meet you. I am Lu Cheng, a second-level Qi Refining cultivator from Yunshen City. I don't have much talent, so I became a casual cultivator. I often come here to sell medicinal herbs, mountain products and the like," Lu Cheng said with a bow.

"You're welcome, Uncle Lu. Do you have any cheaper place to stay? My brothers and I haven't found a place to stay yet. Besides, we don't have any spirit stones, just some gold and silver brought from the mortal world." Yan Qibei looked at Lu Cheng embarrassedly.

"Indeed, the world of immortal cultivation mainly uses spiritual stones, and gold and silver are only used by some mortals. If you want to live here for a few days and need spiritual stones, you can go into the mountains to collect some spiritual medicines and sell them to the pharmacy, so that you can make a living." Lu Cheng, Liu Wenwen and the others said.

"Uncle Lu, do you think this can be sold in exchange for spirit stones?" Liu Wenwen said as he took out a ginseng from Shen Runze's bag. Liu Wenwen was holding a ginseng in his hand. The ginseng was as long as his arm and very thick. There were branches and leaves on the top. On the top of the branches and leaves, there was a row of red beads in a fan-shaped shape. It was probably because it had been away from the soil for a long time and looked a little listless and lifeless.

"Jade Spirit Ginseng? Where did you get it?" Lu Cheng looked at them eagerly.

"I dug it from the mountain." Liu Wenwen looked at Shen Runze with a smile. Fortunately, he had read the medicine book of the clerk. While escaping, he saw some high-quality medicinal herbs and picked them up. No one would complain about having too much money.

"I wonder if you can sell it to me? I have been looking for Jade Spirit Ginseng to treat my wife's illness, but the ones I found are all more than ten years old and not very effective. My wife's illness has not improved. Judging from the length, thickness and thickness of yours, it must be over a hundred years old. The medicinal effect should be good enough. Can you sell it to me? I will give you 2000 low-grade spirit stones, and then the three of you can live in my house. I won't charge you any money. How about it?" Lu Cheng looked at the three people nervously.

The three of them looked at each other and said, "Okay, Uncle Lu, could you please introduce us to some basic knowledge of the cultivation world? We come from the mortal world and don't know anything. Moreover, we want to go to Fengqing City. I wonder if Uncle Lu has someone we can trust to take us there?" Yan Qibei looked at Shen Runze and said.

"It's not difficult to tell you the basic common sense of the world of cultivating immortals, hahaha. As for going to Fengqing City, it's just right for me to take my wife with you. My wife is sick, so we should go to a big town to find a good alchemist to make a furnace of pills. I have been looking for the Jade Spirit Ginseng for a long time, and you got it by chance. And I met you, my friends, you really helped me a lot. I, Lu Cheng, would like to thank you here." Lu Cheng said, and bowed to the three people without paying attention to the passers-by next to him.

"No, no, no, we can't afford it. We also took the spirit stones, which solved our urgent problem. We are helping each other. Besides, we have to ask Uncle Lu for help if we want to go to Fengqing City." Yan Qibei said as he hurriedly helped Lu Cheng, who was about to bow down.

"Hahaha, okay. From now on, if you need any help from me, Lu Cheng, just let me know. I, Lu Cheng, will never say no," Lu Cheng said, patting his chest.

Because Yunshen City is relatively close to the Ten Thousand Mountains, most of the cultivators here make a living by collecting herbs in the mountains. Originally, because Yunshen City is close to the Ten Thousand Mountains, many people came here to live and collect herbs. However, thousands of years ago, a powerful person set up a barrier entrance here, and more and more people came and went. Many rare herbs were collected, and only some herbs that were decades old were left. Medicinal herbs that were hundreds of years old were rarely seen. Gradually, fewer cultivators came here, and only some people with low cultivation were left to make a living here.

The mortals in the south of the city are the descendants of cultivators. After all, cultivating immortals is difficult. Some cultivators cannot improve their cultivation and cannot endure hardships, so they simply marry and have children and live a happy and carefree life.

Cultivators usually cultivate spiritual energy, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into their own bodies. This is the first level of Qi Refining, which is the entry point into cultivating immortals. Qi Refining is divided into twelve levels, and magic can be used. Once you enter Qi Refining, your life span can be increased by three hundred years.

Above that is the foundation-building stage, which allows one to fly with a sword and increase their lifespan by eight hundred years.

When the golden elixir is forged, the thirty-nine thunder tribulations descend. Those who can withstand it become a Golden Elixir Immortal, while those who fail will lose all their cultivation and die. After achieving the Golden Elixir, one's lifespan can be increased by 1,200 years, and they are honored as an Immortal.

Above the Golden Elixir is the Nascent Soul. To break the elixir and become a Nascent Soul, one must first survive the forty-nine thunder tribulations, secondly, comprehend one's own Dao, and possess a Dao heart to form a Nascent Soul. Thirdly, timing is required. All three are indispensable. Therefore, those who become Nascent Souls are already powerful in this world, and are therefore honored as Dao Lords. The Dao Lord's power is as great as moving mountains and filling seas, and is omnipotent! It can also increase one's lifespan by three thousand years.

"What comes after the Nascent Soul? What realm is there after the Nascent Soul?" Liu Wenwen and the other two looked at Lu Chengdao curiously.

"I heard it's the stage of transformation into a god. As for what happens after that, I don't know much. However, you will soon be disciples of the Tianyan Sect. If you are interested in this, you can go and look it up." Lu Cheng smiled and looked at the three of them without stopping.

Liu Wenwen and the other two followed Lu Cheng for about an incense stick's time and arrived at Lu Cheng's courtyard. It didn't look big from the outside, with green tiles and white walls. There were mostly the same houses around it. There were a few people walking on the street. It was afternoon now, and they thought that he hadn't returned from picking herbs yet, so they followed Lu Cheng into the courtyard. The courtyard was about the size of a entrance, with a side room on each side. There was a peach tree in the courtyard. It was midsummer and the tree was still in bloom. There were several peaches among the flowers, which looked not yet ripe. It was really magical. There seemed to be a cough coming from the main room. They thought it was Lu Cheng's wife.

When Mrs. Lu heard the sound, she hurried out to take a look. She felt a little strange to see her husband coming back so early, with three children around him. Mrs. Lu suddenly stiffened, her heart skipping a beat, and asked.

"Brother Cheng, why did you come back so early today? Who are these children?" Madam Lu looked at Lu Cheng in confusion.

"My dear, your disease can finally be cured. The Jade Spirit Ginseng we have been looking for was found by these children. I plan to buy it and take you to Fengqing City to ask the alchemy master to make a furnace of pills for you. I believe you will get better soon, and maybe your cultivation will be able to reach a higher level." Lu Cheng said as he walked over, held Madam Lu's hand, smiled and whispered.

Lu Cheng and Lu Niangzi were originally just ordinary cultivators. When they were young, they were not accepted by the big sects due to their poor aptitude, so they became independent cultivators. The two met when they entered a secret realm as a team. After working together many times, they gradually fell in love and became dual cultivation partners. However, the good times did not last long. Because of their poor aptitude, they needed more resources, and were ambushed when working with others. Originally, it was Lu Cheng who was ambushed by the thieves in that operation. After all, Lu Cheng had a higher cultivation level and was more feared by others. It was Lu Niangzi who rushed out to block a palm for Lu Cheng, and then fainted instantly. Fortunately, Lu Cheng saw that the opportunity was not right and escaped immediately, otherwise both of them would have died in that secret realm.

Fortunately, he received timely medical treatment after he was released and saved his life, but he had to be bedridden for many years and needed spiritual herbs to sustain his life. As the demand for medicinal herbs was very high, Lu Cheng simply moved to Yunshen City. While he was looking for herbs himself, he could also sell some to practice and maintain his life.
