Chapter 5 Brothers and Brothers Respect
After spending half a day gathering his inner energy and finally stabilizing his newly broken cultivation level, Zhang Wei finally had time to feel the changes in himself.

He stretched out a finger, and with a beeping sound, a spark suddenly jumped across Zhang Wei's finger.

Then there is no more.

This is the thunder spell "Five Thunder Sword Curse" that comes with "Heavenly Thunder Refining God Art". It can transform magic power into lightning and extend it from the fingertips in the form of an air sword to fight against the enemy, or it can be launched to attack the opponent from a distance.

In addition, there are also matching "Thunder Curse" and "Thunder Armor Curse".

However, compared to the records, Zhang Wei's Five Thunder Sword only lasted for one second, and the power was not ideal. The other two spells could not be used at all.

It’s nothing, just not enough spiritual power.

"Is this the initial stage of Qi Refining? Really..." Zhang Wei didn't know what to say for a moment.

How to describe this situation?

He became stronger.

But not that strong.

It can be considered as strong.

According to Zhang Wei's speculation, the power of his Five Thunder Sword is several levels less than the electric baton in the hands of the security guard in his previous life. It is just enough to make ordinary people feel paralyzed, and it can't even stun the opponent.

There was nothing he could do about it, after all, Zhang Wei had just entered the sect. Being able to paralyze ordinary people and temporarily make them lose their fighting power was already pretty good, and other things, such as the fire magic used by a cultivator with a fire spirit root when he first entered the sect, would probably only light a cigarette for a street gangster.

According to the "Miscellaneous Records of the Five Realms" that he bought from the bookstore owner, although the realm of cultivation in this world is generally similar to the online novels he read in his previous life, there are some differences.

Qi Refining, Foundation Building, Purple Mansion, Golden Elixir and even the legendary Nascent Soul, these are the names of the realms that can be recorded in the Miscellaneous Notes.

There should be a higher realm later, but it is not described in the Miscellaneous Records. I guess the author of the Miscellaneous Records of the Five Realms himself would not dare to speculate.

As for the small realms in the Qi Refining Realm, there is no detailed division from one to nine levels, but it is simply divided into three small realms: early, middle and late stages.

This is because in the Qi Refining Realm, the main thing is to successively open up the three Dantians in the body, and gradually fill the three Dantians with the spiritual power obtained through cultivation. Each time a Dantian is opened up, it is considered a promotion to a small realm. After all three Dantians are opened up and the spiritual power is cultivated to perfection, you can try to build the foundation.

Among them, the early stage of Qi training that developed the lower Dantian could not pull too far away from the martial artists who cultivated internal strength in the mortal world in actual combat. Because the martial arts masters who cultivated internal strength in the mortal world were also practitioners who developed their own Dantian. Compared with the immortal cultivators, they only lacked the mysterious means of the immortal cultivators.

Therefore, it is very dangerous for a cultivator in the early stage of Qi Refining to be approached by a martial arts master without external assistance. This situation will not change until the cultivator develops the middle dantian and advances to the middle stage of Qi Refining.

At that time, the mana of the immortal cultivators would undergo a transformation in both quality and quantity. Even if they did not cast spells, they could fight back and forth with martial arts masters who had been immersed in martial arts for decades just by relying on their mana to replenish their bodies. Once the immortal cultivators found the right opportunity to cast spells, ordinary martial arts masters would only die on the spot, unless they were legendary martial arts legends.

At this moment, Zhang Wei was at the initial stage of Qi Refining, which was the lowest level in the world of immortal cultivation, and he was not considered strong in the secular martial arts world. He was an elite monster who had just cultivated his internal strength and escaped from the ranks of small fish, but was very weak because of his extremely low mana.

Even because he himself did not have the spiritual root of thunder, but adopted a side path to enlightenment, he had no way to directly convert spiritual power into thunder. The electricity he had previously absorbed was more like stored in his body, and once it was used up, it had to be replenished.

Unless he can advance to the foundation-building stage and transform his body into a thunder body, only then can he convert his spiritual power into thunder and lightning at will.

In other words, Zhang Wei is now a walking battery.

Thinking of this, Zhang Wei said with emotion: "Sure enough, I still have to stay alive. I have decided that I will never step into the world of immortal cultivation until I reach the late stage of Qi Refining!"

Anyway, his family is rich, so he doesn't need to go out to buy the resources used by normal cultivators for his daily practice. When he is short of spiritual energy, he can just find some materials to make a primary battery to power himself.

The "Heavenly Thunder God Refining Art" he practiced directly points to the legendary Purple Mansion Realm, so there is no need for him to work hard outside like other time-travelers. If he doesn't show off his abilities now, is he really afraid that others don't know that he has other ways to cultivate immortality?

You have to know that I was just rejected by Linglong Xianzong, and in the blink of an eye I became an immortal. Not to mention the ordinary nobles, even those immortal sects would send people to investigate the situation. This is too dangerous. If you are not careful, you will bring disaster to yourself and your family.

"But if I don't walk outside for a long time, I will also attract criticism. Besides, the mortal world is not peaceful. If something unexpected happens, I have to have a reason to explain my extraordinary skills."

Zhang Wei thought about it, then looked at the long knife he had placed by the wall.
……

Two days later, bursts of shouting were heard from Zhang Wei's courtyard. A young man was seen holding a long knife and moving left and right among a group of scarecrows. Every rotation of the blade accurately cut off the scarecrow's head. The whole process was smooth and there was no shackles at all.

Whether you are an outsider or an expert, seeing this scene, you will all sigh with admiration at the young man's excellent swordsmanship! In time, he will surely become a world-famous young hero!

Just like that, after performing several sets of sword techniques in succession, Zhang Wei exhaled a long breath and began to regulate his breathing. However, judging from his ruddy complexion, this series of high-intensity exercises had not yet exceeded his limit.

“Pah, pah, pah—”

"Good, good, good! Great swordsmanship!"

At this time, a series of applause came from outside the courtyard gate. Zhang Wei turned his head and saw a handsome middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes walking in with a smile.

"Brother!"

Zhang Wei immediately put his machete aside and bowed to his brother Zhang Xiong.

Zhang Xiong, also known by his courtesy name Zhongxiu, was his elder brother in this life and the current head of the Zhang family. He was a dozen years older than Zhang Jie and had taken over the burden of the family after his father's death.

At that time, Zhang Wei was only ten years old. As the saying goes, an elder brother is like a father, and this is really true for Zhang Xiong. Over the years, Zhang Xiong has always taken good care of his younger brother. It can be seen that he even asked for an Ascension Order for him despite the pressure from the family elders.

Of course, Zhang Wei's own excellence was also an important reason why Zhang Xiong was willing to train him and the elders finally gave in. Otherwise, even if Zhang Xiong loved his younger brother very much, he would not have spent decades of favors in the family to exchange for the Linglong Xianzong's order of ascension.

But in the end, Zhang Wei, who was highly expected, was rejected by Linglong Xianzong because he had no spiritual roots. You can imagine how much pressure Zhang Xiong, the head of the family, was under. It is estimated that every time there was a family meeting, he, as the head of the family, would be coldly criticized by the elders. So during this period of time, Zhang Wei felt very guilty towards his brother.

Looking at his brother Zhang Wei who finally walked out of the room, Zhang Xiong sighed: "It seems that you have finally come out! Although the immortal path is good, it is too illusory and is said to be bloody and cruel. Don't seek immortality. Live a stable life in the mortal world for a few decades and enjoy a lifetime of wealth and glory. Isn't it better to be a free and easy immortal?"

"But Zijie, my Zhang family is a family of scholars after all, and you have always been known as a child prodigy. Although I don't object to you practicing martial arts, you also have to know what is important and what is not.

No matter how good your martial arts skills are, only knowledge can help you succeed. Even generals who have fought in many battles must be familiar with the art of war. A true general is not one of those crude warriors who kill generals on the battlefield in the novels! "

Zhang Xiong spoke to Zhang Wei earnestly, and it was obvious that he regarded Zhang Wei's behavior of practicing martial arts as a substitute for his own choice when he failed to become an immortal. He was worried that his younger brother had finally jumped out of the pit of cultivating immortals, but wasted his talent by practicing martial arts, trying to enter the Tao through martial arts, and wasting his time in vain.

Zhang Wei naturally heard the sincere love and care in his brother's words, and immediately said with a smile: "Don't worry, brother, I know!"

Zhang Wei's smile was very sincere, without any rebellious behavior that a teenager of his age would show when being denied. So Zhang Xiong was very relieved.

This is why he loves his biological brother so much.

She was smart and clever since she was young, and never let her brother worry about her. When she was young, she never took advantage of her parents' favoritism to make her angry. Although she often had her own ideas, they were not serious. She was completely different from those coquettish bitches who wanted to trip her up overtly or covertly!
Because of this, Zhang Xiong was happy to help his younger brother in many things. It was no big deal that he had failed to become an immortal. At most, he could study for fame and strive to add another red-robed official to the family. It would not be a waste of Zhang Wei's innate intelligence.

At that time, I, as the elder brother, will be responsible for the affairs inside and outside the family, and as the younger brother, I will escort the family in the officialdom. The two brothers will support each other and strive to make the family bigger and stronger and create more glory!

"Well, I'm glad you understand."

Zhang Xiong nodded and said, "That's great. I have something to do here too, and I need you to go to Luoxia County."

"Luoxia County? What's the matter?" Zhang Wei asked.

Zhang Xiong sighed sadly and said, "Ah... Do you still remember our uncle? He's gone! I suddenly heard the news two days ago."

"what?"

Zhang Wei was stunned, and the image of a fat rich man's face slowly emerged in his mind.

His uncle, Li Defu, is the head of the powerful Li family in Luoxia County. His sister, Zhang Wei's mother, married into the Zhang family because of a family marriage. When Zhang's mother was still alive when he was a child, he often came to visit relatives.

But ever since Zhang's mother died of lovesickness after his father's death a few years ago, the relationship between the two families has gradually faded. But the relationship is still there, and Zhang Wei still has a clear memory of his uncle.

Zhang Wei said in surprise: "I remember that uncle just turned fifty, right? Hasn't he always been in good health?"

Zhang Xiong said: "Fifty-two is not too young. And who can tell when you are old? Maybe a fall can ruin your strong body.

Our mother has only one brother, my uncle. Now that he has gone to the west, we, as the younger generation, should go to pay our respects, lest outsiders say that we, the children of the Zhang family, do not know etiquette. But I have a lot of things to do here and cannot leave for the time being, so I have to leave it to you."

Zhang Wei nodded blankly, as if he had not yet recovered from the news of his uncle's death.

To be honest, the sudden death of a relative had a profound impact on Zhang Wei. He was a perfectly healthy person and they were still in contact some time ago, but he was suddenly gone.

"Okay, then I'll leave tomorrow."

Zhang Wei sighed, then thought of something and asked Zhang Xiong, "By the way, brother, although our Yun Kingdom has enjoyed good weather and good harvests in recent years, there may still be some blind bandits. Can you arrange a team of escorts for me?"

Zhang Xiong was stunned, then laughed and scolded: "Oh, you. Your sense of security is still so low, Zhang Da and the others are not enough?
Forget it, forget it, I'll do as you say. How about the Fuwei Escort Agency? They specialize in the route from Luyang to Luoxia, and they have connections with all the mountain strongholds and water strongholds along the way."

Zhang Wei: “Yeah!”

After informing his brother of the news, Zhang Xiong left his brother's courtyard. Before leaving, he looked back at Zhang Wei who was going back to his room to wash up, and sighed in his heart.

In fact, the reason why he asked Zhang Wei to go to Luoxia County was to keep him away from the vortex. After all, no matter how carefree the person was when he was rejected for seeking immortality, the rumors from the outside world would not stop.

The second generation of the wealthy families in Luyang County were hoping to use this incident to make fun of Zhang Wei. Even some people within the family were dissatisfied that the Ascension Order that the family had paid a huge price for was wasted by Zhang Wei. They were all ready to find trouble with Zhang Wei once he appeared in the public eye.

Even though he knew that his younger brother was precocious, Zhang Xiong didn't think his younger brother could remain rational in the face of attacks from so many villains.

It happened that the news of my uncle's death came at this time, so I took this opportunity to arrange for Zhang Wei to leave Luyang and go to Luoxia to avoid the limelight. I would let him come back when the rumors had died down.

Alas, I hope Zijie can understand the painstaking efforts of his brother.

"Zijie is not young anymore. He will be 15 after the New Year. Should we arrange a marriage for him? It will be easier for him to focus on his family if he gets married." Zhang Xiong thought to himself while stroking his beard, and then slowly left.

Zhang Wei, who had no idea that his brother was starting to arrange a marriage for him, was now packing his luggage for a long journey.

Although Luoxia County is right next to Luyang County, the journey is still two or three hundred miles, which is a long journey even for people from wealthy families.

You cannot take the materials of the original battery with you. After all, when you visit a relative to pay your respects, it would be somewhat inappropriate for you to bring along the famous corpse-dissolving magic water.

So after some thought, Zhang Wei hid the materials he had purchased and instead took the books he had bought from Linglong Xianfang.

These seemingly ordinary notes are the best way to understand the five realms of immortal cultivation. In addition, there are some practical small magic methods circulated in the immortal cultivation world. With these, I can enrich my horizons and relieve boredom.

Just like that, the day passed quickly, and time came to the next morning. Before the morning mist dissipated, Zhang Wei got on the carriage to Luoxia County. He was still accompanied by Zhang Da and several other attendants, as well as several bodyguards from the Fuwei Escort Agency. The group then left Luyang City in a mighty manner.
