Cultivation: Start with a Spiritual Plant Space

The two of them didn't know how far they had walked.

Finally we arrived at a mountain next to the market town.

This mountain is very quiet.

Almost shrouded in a thin layer of mist.

The trees are also lush and green, looking full of vitality.

Also, the spiritual energy here is very rich, but it is scattered and not gathered.

You can't tell at all that you're far away from the city.

Although the mountain is not high, it always gives people the illusion of seeing flowers in the fog.

The wind whispered from all directions, like crying and complaining.

There is a hint of melancholy.

Li Fan looked up at the unknown mountain, feeling a little confused. The mountain was a good one, but it was not particularly suitable for cultivators to open caves.

He had no choice but to turn to Zhou Mo and express his doubts.

"Are you sure it's here? Which monk would practice in seclusion here?"

When Zhou Mo heard this, the boss was unhappy.

She raised her little face, looked a bit proud, and patted her chest to make a promise.

"What? You're still doubting even after getting here. Let me tell you, my friend of different generations is very powerful. He has his own way of cultivation. Even though this place may not look good, it's different with him here."

After saying that, he swung his arms and ran up the mountain.

It looks like he's happy to be home.

Seeing that the girl spoke so confidently, Li Fan could only temporarily suppress his doubts and followed her.

The mountain road is rugged and there is no complete road at all.

I don’t know how the little girl’s friend of different age can tolerate this.

Fortunately, there are no monsters here.

But even so, he did not let down his guard and held the spirit sword tightly.

Be prepared to respond to emergencies at any time.

Zhou Mo seemed very relaxed, walking briskly, not disturbed at all, and seemed to be very familiar with the place.

Soon, the two reached the halfway point of the mountain.

At a glance, I saw the cave not far away.

It is a cave dug on the edge of a cliff. It looks ordinary, but it is quite dangerous as it is standing next to the abyss.

Furthermore, from the perspective of layout, it is still somewhat unique.

It seems to imply the rules of the five elements' circulation and endless life.

There are several strange stones placed at the entrance of the cave. They seem random, but they are unusual.

If you touch it without knowing the consequences, you may encounter unknown risks.

At this time, Zhou Mo went forward and knocked on the door, her little hands banging on the door hard, making a "bang bang" sound.

But after knocking for a long time, no one responded.

This is a bit embarrassing.

She was too embarrassed to turn around and said shyly, "He must have fallen asleep. Let me knock again."

But after knocking again, there was still no answer.

The monk had sharp senses, but he knocked for a long time but no one showed up.

There must be no one in the cave.

Li Fan didn't believe that the other party was asleep.

He immediately stepped forward and grabbed the girl.

"Don't knock. He's probably not home. Let's come back next time. The best thing to do is find a place to hide first."

As he said this, he couldn't help but look back.

If we continue to delay here, things will be very bad if Zhou Li and others catch up.

Zhou Mo was a little panicked at this time. She finally made up an excuse and brought the person over.

How could I be willing to leave just like that?

His stubbornness came out and he banged on the cave door angrily.

"He must be there, believe me, he...he won't run around. That's right, right. He should be in seclusion. Let's wait over there, he'll be fine in a while."

Li Fan was suddenly speechless.

Why did the usually sensible girl suddenly become stubborn? If someone had come out earlier.

He couldn't help but observe the surrounding terrain.

He was immediately startled.

day!

This is a dead end. If it is blocked, there is no chance of survival.

The wind was blowing, making his clothes rustle and making him feel cold.

He wanted to leave, but thinking of the little girl's previous kindness in reporting the news, he held back.

But I became more and more anxious.

Please, they are running for their lives, not playing house.

Think of this.

His eyes flashed, wondering whether he should force his way into the cave.

This way you can find a place to hide inside first.

It’s better than standing here like an idiot.

However, before he could take any action, Zhou Mo hurriedly stopped him.

"No, we can't force our way in. If we trespass into the cave, the consequences will be something we can't afford."

His voice was trembling and his face was pale.

Li Fan looked at Zhou Mo, frowned, and felt confused.

"That's not right. Isn't he your friend regardless of age? Why can't we hide in the cave first?"

Seeing that she could no longer hide the truth, Zhou Mo bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, and finally told the truth.

"Actually, the person in the cave is not some close friend of mine, but my ancestor, Zhou Changqing. He is the only foundation-building cultivator in Changning Market. I lied to him because I was afraid you wouldn't come."

After saying this, she lowered her head and shivered like a wounded sparrow.

Uh!

The person living in the cave was Zhou Changqing, the king of Changning Market.

The only major foundation-building overhaul.

He actually came to see such a legendary existence.

indeed so.

Zhou Changqing has been in seclusion for many years and usually does not show up unless it is absolutely necessary.

But he is undoubtedly the king of Changningfang Market.

If this was Zhou Changqing's cave, Zhou Li and the others would not dare to act rashly.

Li Fan's expression looked a little better, but he felt angry and helpless.

"Girl, why didn't you say so earlier!"

Zhou Mo muttered softly, "If I had told you earlier, what if you didn't come with me?"

At this time, the wind seemed to be even stronger, blowing the surrounding trees to and fro.

But at this moment, a noisy sound came from the distance.

It turned out that Zhou Li was leading the pursuers and was almost halfway up the mountain.

What to do?

It was blocked by someone.

Li Fan and Zhou Mo were both a little nervous.

In a panic, Zhou Mo unconsciously took a few steps back.

But he accidentally triggered the restriction outside the cave.

In an instant, light flashed, and a powerful force enveloped the two of them.

Li Fan felt his body tighten and he was suddenly unable to move.

Zhou Mo screamed in fright.

"What's going on? Ah, I can't move."

At this time, the footsteps of Zhou Li and others were getting closer and closer, and their shouts could be heard clearly.

"They're there! Don't let them get away!"

Li Fan was extremely anxious and wanted to move, but he was powerless and could only sigh dejectedly.

Zhou Mo was so frightened that tears were about to come out.

Zhou Li saw Li Fan and the other man from afar and realized that they did not run away, so he showed a cruel smile.

"Haha, you wanted to see the ancestor, but you got turned away. Run, why don't you run away?"

As he spoke, he waved his hand and rushed forward with his men.

Especially the mercenary captain, who moved even faster and rushed in in a moment.

Unfortunately.

This group of guys didn't know what was going on. As soon as they approached, they were also caught in the restriction and couldn't move.

As everyone entered.

At this moment, the air around suddenly became extremely heavy, and even breathing became extremely difficult.

Zhou Mo was still young and could not endure the hardship at all. She could not hold on any longer and her legs went weak and she knelt down.

He kept saying, "I can't take it anymore. I'm going to die."

But Li Fan gritted his teeth and forced himself not to kneel.

Veins bulged on his forehead, his eyes were wide open, his hands were clenched into fists, and all the muscles in his body were tense.

However, this resistance did not make the situation better, but instead made the gravity stronger and stronger.

He felt like his bones were creaking and would be crushed at any moment.

But even so, he still had no intention of giving up.

"You can't just kneel down like that!"

He persisted like this for another quarter of an hour, sweat dripping from his forehead and gathering into a puddle in front of his eyes.

At this time.

Deep in the cave, sat an old man with white hair.

This person's aura is extremely terrifying.

Even if you sit there quietly, there is a vast energy fluctuating.

This kind of pressure is simply not comparable to that of a Qi-cultivating cultivator.

indeed so.

This person was none other than Zhou Changqing, the owner of Changning Market and the only foundation-building cultivator.

He noticed it as soon as Li Fan and others arrived at the cave.

He just didn't show up immediately, but instead activated the gravity restriction, intending to test the character of several people.

He asked his two granddaughters to find suitable people to help the Zhou family, but he looked down on those who were not strong-willed.

At this time, seeing Li Fan's character, he immediately became interested.

Immediately, he waved his hand and doubled the gravity.

Li Fan had no idea that because of his stubborn temper, he was targeted by a guy named Lao Liu.

At this moment, I suddenly felt the pressure doubled, and it was a little bit overwhelmed.

I almost fell to my knees.

Fortunately, he kept his composure at the critical moment.

But it’s not easy either, and my consciousness is a little fuzzy.

But he just gritted his teeth and persisted here, while Zhou Li and others watched the show with glee.

Everyone showed an impatient expression, waiting for the moment when he could no longer hold on and fell down.

However, Zhou Mo's face was full of worry and she bit her lip.

At this time, Li Fan had already endured ten times the gravity.

The terrifying pressure was like a mountain pressing down on his head, and his bones and muscles were about to fall apart, making a teeth-grinding "cracking" sound.

Bleeding began from all seven orifices, and the bright red blood dyed the entire body red, making him look extremely miserable.

Zhou Mo was extremely anxious, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Li Fan, give up! You'll die if you keep going like this! As long as you give up, everything will be fine. Look at us, apart from being unable to move, our lives are no longer in danger."

Zhou Li also sneered.

"This is a test of your perseverance and physical strength, Li Fan. Don't fail the test and end up dead. That would be tragic. When the time comes, I will definitely go to your grave. No, it would be better to leave your body exposed in the wilderness."

Li Hu and Aniu thought highly of themselves and once they entered the forbidden area, they did not resist and were content to be at leisure.

For them, they will not waste their time on such meaningless things.

They came here to kill Li Fan and earn commission.

Other things that are not in the plan.

At this point, it's just a joke.

If they were not unable to move within the restriction, they would have taken action already.

As for the rest of the people, they just stood by and watched the joke.

These guys gave up resistance long ago.

Especially Zhou Tianba, he was grinning and looked very proud.

Faced with everyone's ridicule, Li Fan remained unmoved and persisted.

Cultivation of immortality is to go against heaven.

If you don't even have the courage to risk your life, you might as well get married and have children early.

That is when this thought arose.

In an instant, Li Fan suddenly felt a pure spiritual power surging into his body.

The spiritual power was like a raging torrent, roaring and rushing through the meridians.

He only felt a sharp pain in his meridians, as if they were about to burst by this powerful force.

But he endured the severe pain and practiced the Yuanshi Yinqi Jue, guiding the spiritual power to circulate through his meridians.

Wherever spiritual power passes, damaged meridians are quickly repaired and become tougher and wider.

In the Dantian, spiritual power also gathered into a vortex, constantly rotating and compressing.

Li Fan felt that his body seemed to have become stronger and his aura was more powerful.

The surrounding spiritual energy was also constantly flowing towards him at this time.

It didn't take long.

Just listen to the bang.

A faint glow emanated from his body.

Immediately afterwards, the light converged, and he unexpectedly broke through to the fifth level of Qi training in one fell swoop.

It's quite unexpected!

Just like that, the breakthrough happened.

After his breathing stabilized, he slowly opened his eyes and looked at the restrictions around him.

The originally heavy pressure seemed to be relieved a lot at this moment.

This time within the restriction, the breakthrough made very little noise.

No one noticed it at all.

Even Li Hu, a cultivator at the sixth level of Qi training, could only see a hint of something fishy.

But he did not consider Li Fan's breakthrough in cultivation.

But this movement alarmed Zhou Changqing, who had been observing from deep within the cave.

After all, he is a foundation-building cultivator with keen perception.

His expression changed, and he quickly opened a corner of the restriction. With a wave of his hand, a powerful suction force was instantly generated.

Before everyone could see clearly what was happening.

He sucked Li Fan over.

Li Fan only felt a flash before his eyes, and there was an extra person beside him.

Looking up, I saw that the man had an aura as deep as the sea and was looking at me with a sharp gaze.

Those eyes seemed to be able to see through his soul.

His heart tightened involuntarily, and he quickly turned his head away.

I kept thinking in my mind.

The incident happened suddenly and he was completely confused.

However, at this moment, Zhou Changqing was looking him up and down, with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

"Boy, not bad! You're quite capable to be able to break through under such heavy pressure."
