Beast-controlling fairy clan.

Chapter 5: Cultivation Progress, Hongyafang City

Somewhere beside a pond outside Yunlan Mountain.

However, after Zhou Chun killed two independent cultivators who intended to kill him, he galloped for dozens of miles. He only stopped to rest by the pond after confirming through the "Red-billed Sparrow" that there were no traces of human beings nearby.

He first meditated for more than two hours to restore his magic power to its peak state, and then took out the stone jar as usual and used purifying spiritual water to purify the turbid evil energy in his body.

Only then did I check the harvest.

The two casual cultivators didn't have many valuable things on them. Apart from a total of thirty-four spirit coins, they only had two first-grade low-quality magic weapons that were barely worth a few spirit coins.

The rest of the sundries added together are not worth ten spirit coins.

With such a meager fortune, it was no wonder that the two of them, after guessing that Zhou Chun was a lone cultivator from the Zhou family who had migrated here, would become greedy for his wealth and want to kill him for his treasure.

You have to know that even if you don't count the priceless stone jar, Zhou Chun has 135 spirit coins on him, as well as two first-grade mid-level magic weapons and two first-grade low-level magic weapons.

Even the other miscellaneous items are worth about forty or fifty spirit coins in total.

"This is the lowest level of casual cultivator in the world of immortal cultivation!"

"Most of the spiritual coins I earn are used to buy time for meditation and practice. How can I save any extra money?"

"Just like those guys who have mortgages and car loans, even if they work overtime, how much money can they save in their credit cards?"

Zhou Chun couldn't help but express his feelings and sigh.

At the same time, he also became more determined in his decision to return to the Zhou family.

In this dangerous world of cultivating immortals, the situations for low-level immortals are completely different if they have the protection of an organization or if they don't.

He quickly identified the direction and rushed towards the area where the market town was located.

……

Early in the morning, Zhou Chun sat cross-legged on the top of a mountain, practicing meditation for the day.

Just when he was halfway through his meditation, with the appearance of the first ray of sunlight in the east, purple air came from the east and was absorbed into his body for refining.

A soft "pop" sound suddenly came from his body.

But it opened up another acupuncture point in the body.

Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Purple Mansion, Golden Elixir, Nascent Soul, and God Transformation, these are the six major realms of cultivation currently known in the world of immortal cultivation.

Among them, the Qi Refining stage is to refine essence into Qi, absorbing the essence of heaven and earth from the outside and one's own essence from the inside, combining the inside and the outside to condense magic power.

The measure of a Qi Refining cultivator's magical power is the number of acupoints he has opened.

There are 108 major acupoints in the human body. Every time a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage opens one more acupoint, his magic power will become deeper.

At the same time, because the quality and total amount of the magic power of the cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage will change slightly after each of the nine acupoints are opened, the cultivators divided the Qi Refining Stage into twelve levels.

The first to fourth levels of the Qi Refining Stage are divided into the early stage of Qi Refining, the fifth to eighth levels of the Qi Refining Stage are divided into the middle stage of Qi Refining, and the ninth to twelfth levels of the Qi Refining Stage are divided into the late stage of Qi Refining.

Zhou Chun is now at the sixth level of the Qi Refining Stage, and is a cultivator in the middle stage of the Qi Refining Stage. Now with the opening of a new acupoint, he has now opened forty-seven acupoints.

At the age of 21, Zhou Chun has reached the sixth level of Qi Refining Stage. His cultivation speed is very good.
But in fact, his spiritual root qualification is not outstanding, it is only of medium quality.

It can be said that he is able to have this level of accomplishment at this age entirely due to his own efforts and hard work.

Yes, Zhou Chun has gradually adapted to his new identity.

In his subconscious, he has already regarded himself as the immortal cultivator Zhou Chun. His daily living habits and way of speaking are also moving towards that of the immortal cultivator Zhou Chun.

Zhou Chun was delighted when he sensed that his cultivation had improved again. He continued to practice his skills to absorb the spiritual energy of the outside world and refine it into magic power to fill the newly opened acupoint.

The techniques practiced by the disciples of Sanjue Sect are mostly the "Five Qis Facing the Sun Sutra", which is a foundation technique suitable for the practice of almost all people with spiritual roots.

The magic power cultivated through the "Five Qi Chaoyang Sutra" is moderate and peaceful, with pure aura, and it will be very convenient to switch to any practice after building the foundation in the future. This practice is not unique to the Three Absolute Sect. Many immortal cultivation families and even immortal cultivation sects will teach this practice as the foundation practice for the children of the family and sect.

The best time to practice the "Five Qis Chaoyang Sutra" is when the sun rises in the morning.

As the sun rises, all things come back to life, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth under the harmony of yin and yang is the most active and most suitable for absorption and refining.

From the hour of Mao to the hour of Chen, the effect of practicing in these two hours is equivalent to the effect of practicing in other four or five hours.

"This foul evil energy is really annoying. No wonder nowadays, without the protection of the Spirit Purification Array, no one dares to practice outside!"

At this moment, Zhou Chun woke up from his meditation, slowly exhaled a breath of white air, and couldn't help frowning and complaining.

It turned out that although he could rely on the purifying spiritual water in the stone jar to remove and purify the turbid evil energy in his body, when he practiced, the turbid evil energy entered his body and would still continue to cause a tingling sensation in his acupoints and meridians, making it difficult for him to meditate.

I couldn't experience at all the kind of ecstatic pleasure from practicing that I remembered.

From this we can see that even with the stone jar in hand, Zhou Chun can only practice with peace of mind in a place with the protection of the Spirit Purification Array.

After finishing his training, Zhou Chun stood up and stretched his body, took out some dry food from his storage bag and swallowed it with water, and fed the "red-billed sparrow" a handful of some dried fruits that it liked, and then continued on his way to the immortal cultivator market in Jingguo Lanzhou.

There is only one market for cultivators in Lanzhou, and that is Hongya Market.

This market for cultivators is located in the Hongyan Mountains in the central part of Lanzhou. It is led and managed by the Qinglian Temple of the Jingguo Sect. It is the first choice for cultivators in Lanzhou to buy and sell cultivation resources.

But at the same time, the entire Red Rock Mountains is an extremely dangerous place.

Because of the gathering effect of the market town on immortal cultivators, many immortal cultivators who make a living by killing people and stealing treasures will lurk in the wilderness outside the market town, ready to attack and kill the immortal cultivators entering and leaving the market town at any time.

Although the market town sometimes sends out patrol teams to patrol outside and crack down on these bandits, it is difficult to eradicate the problem and prevent such incidents from happening again.

So when Zhou Chun arrived at the outskirts of the Hongyan Mountains, others also became highly alert.

Not only did he no longer carelessly use the "Wind Control Technique" to speed up his journey, but he tried his best to restrain his breath and move forward slowly.

And the places he passed were all places that had been repeatedly explored by the "Red-billed Sparrow".

Even so, he still held a "Wood Spirit Shield" talisman in his hand, ready to activate it at any time.

In fact, most of the time, cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage would travel in groups when entering and leaving the market for safety reasons.

A solitary Qi Refining cultivator like Zhou Chun is either extremely confident in his own strength.

Or it could be like him now, suddenly arriving in an unfamiliar place with no trustworthy friends to accompany him.

From this aspect, the range of activities of cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage is also restricted. They generally will not easily stray too far from a familiar market town, nor will they easily go to an unfamiliar market town.

For two consecutive days, Zhou Chun traveled in the Hongyan Mountains, and the distance he walked was less than a hundred miles.

On this journey of less than a hundred miles, he heard the roar of magic explosions caused by three battles between immortal cultivators.

Every time the sound was heard, it would end quickly, never more than a quarter of an hour.

During this period, the "Red-billed Sparrow" that was exploring the way ahead warned him seven times, which made him very nervous each time and he simply chose to take a detour to avoid it.

With the help of the "Red-billed Sparrow" to lead the way and give warnings, as well as his own caution, Zhou Chun finally arrived safely outside the Hongya Market on the afternoon of the third day after entering the Hongyan Mountains.

When he saw the market area in front of him that was obscured by the fog of the formation, his heart finally settled down.

Then he called back the "Red-billed Sparrow" that was on alert in the air, and held the little fellow in his arms with gratitude, saying, "Xiaohong, Xiaohong, you have done a great service these days. When we get to the Zhou family, I will definitely keep you as a sacrifice."

After saying that, he fed the little guy well and carefully put the food into his pocket.

Next, just like entering the "Qingyun Valley" in Yunlan Mountain before, Zhou Chun faced a background check before entering the Hongya Market because he had never registered in the market before, and paid five spirit coins as a deposit.

Only after he paid the deposit was he allowed to enter the market.
