Immortality

Chapter 23 The Fourth Level of Dao Fruit
Different from Fang Sheng’s impression.

Although the real world of cultivating immortals is dangerous, it is not so dangerous that there will be danger every time you go out.

Fang Sheng followed the team with a map in his hand.

The dangerous places that have been discovered in the surrounding area are marked on it.

Especially in areas prone to natural disasters.

In these places, the five elements of spiritual energy are stagnant and piled up.

Sometimes, just flying by on a sword can cause disturbances in spiritual energy, which can lead to a thunderstorm...

Under the leadership of Taoist Shuimu.

The apprentices successfully arrived at the Zheng family medicine garden five hundred miles away.

Then it took another five days to harvest the ripe spiritual herbs and bring them directly back to the Zheng family.

There was no wind or waves along the way.

It was not as dangerous as the journey when he first arrived in the world of immortal cultivation.

On the way back, Fang Sheng met several wandering cultivators.

Judging from the aura and spiritual energy of these people, they seem to be at the third or fourth level of Qi Refining. Their magical instruments are tattered and it's unknown how many times they've been used.

Even the Qingyang Sword in his hand is far inferior to it.

Looking at their faces, they were obviously over 40 years old.

When these wandering cultivators saw the Zheng family's team from afar, they took the initiative to move in their direction.

Looking like a person who is afraid of trouble.

Taoist Shuimu watched where they were going.

State your speculation.

"There are not many independent cultivators around the Purple Mist Valley, and their realms are not high either. Even those in the middle stage of Qi Refining are rare."

"These people brought all their belongings with them, and they should be heading to the Deep Lake Secret Realm to look for opportunities."

"I don't know how many people can survive..."

A few months later.

The apprentices went out a few more times.

On the way, Taoist Shuimu specifically taught various precautions when traveling in the world of immortal cultivation.

After listening to it, Fang Sheng found that it was similar to the experience of wandering around in the secular world.

He quickly found out the situation outside Ziyan Valley.

He even knew a few places where independent cultivators lived.

The highest level of cultivation among the casual cultivators there is only the fourth level of Qi Refining, and they have formed a casual cultivator market.

The market opens on the 15th of every month.

It is said that there are usually female and male cultivators who specialize in half-closed door business...

Just as Fang Sheng was gradually becoming familiar with the world of immortal cultivation.

The progress of the human race's Dao fruit has finally been completed.

The spiritual root's Dao rhyme officially reached seven strands.

The level of the human race's Dao Fruit also rose again.

[Human Dao Fruit·Fourth Level]

[Effect: With a spiritual mind and wisdom, one has extraordinary comprehension. Even if it is a mysterious method, one can still see through it and bring forth something new.]

"call!"

"Is this the effect of the fourth level of enlightenment?"

Inside the library.

Fang Sheng held a thick book in one hand.

At the same time, the magic power in the body is still circulating in the small circle.

"Reading a book and practicing at the same time, I can really do it after reaching the fourth level of Dao Fruit..."

"My reading speed is already more than twice as fast as others. If other apprentices knew about this, they would probably be shocked."

……

The other apprentices haven't discovered this yet.

Someone was really surprised.

A few days later.

Taoist Shuimu discovered something strange.

It is clearly time for reading, but there are always people practicing in the library, and the disturbance to the spiritual energy is obvious.

When he found Fang Sheng here.

When I opened the door, I found Fang Sheng holding a book, with a glow of inspiration on his body...

Even with the temperament of Shuimu Taoist, it was difficult for him to control his surprised expression at this moment:

"You, you can practice while reading?"

Fang Sheng calmly changed a book, as if he had anticipated this scene:
"Well, I've been trying before, and I finally succeeded recently."

He smiled calmly and quickly turned his gaze back to the book.

After his comprehension was enhanced by the fourth level, Fang Sheng's reading speed increased again.

In the past, he could read two books a day, which was already a very fast pace.

Now I can read four books a day.

Yes, he is now mostly flipping through books, not reading them.

Before, he had to read the knowledge in the alchemy book word by word.

Now I can read ten lines at a glance without any delay in comprehension.

Fang Sheng was fascinated by the feeling that this knowledge was like a flood, constantly pouring into his mind.

half a month later.

Fang Sheng finished reading all 300 books and informed Shuimu of the news.

At this point, it had been less than a year since he was selected for the list.

The other selected apprentices had only read less than a hundred books at most...

When Shuimu came in front of the head of the family.

When reporting Fang Sheng’s situation.

Zheng Jinli suddenly stood up.

His usually gentle and elegant face was now full of disbelief.

"Fang Sheng?"

"This person is the one you strongly recommended, and in the end Senior Dingshi came to intercede for him?"

"He finished reading the three hundred volumes of alchemy books so quickly?"

"Yes, I have said before that his understanding is extremely outstanding..."

Mizuki paused for a moment and added:
"I have never seen a person as talented as Fang Sheng. He can even practice while studying alchemy books..."

Having said this, he looked at the astonished look of the head of the family in front of him.

Shuimu couldn't help but feel a sense of relief.

Before, when Fang Sheng was removed from the list, he had privately approached the head of the family to explain the details.

However, at that time, Zheng Jinli didn’t care at all about the so-called extraordinary understanding.

That's how it happened.

Unexpectedly, in less than a year.

Fang Sheng's performance was enough to shock this well-informed Qi Refiner...

Precisely.

Zheng Jinli was more than just stunned now.

The old man felt that his common sense was challenged.

Draw a circle with one hand and a square with the other.

This little trick of doing two things at once is not difficult for a monk.

But the practice is different!
When most people practice, they need to concentrate fully so that the exercises can run smoothly and avoid mistakes.

At this time, it is difficult to even be distracted.

Not to mention studying the alchemy book while practicing...

Zheng Jinli confirmed the details repeatedly.

Then he was stunned for a long while, and finally couldn't help but sigh:

"Before, I underestimated the talents in the world!"

"I should reflect on this matter and not be so arrogant and conceited in the future..."

"This principle also applies to spiritual practice."

Zheng Jinli paced in the hall for several times and had a new realization.

He continued to ask:
"As I recall, Fang Sheng only has three spiritual roots?"

"Yes."

"That's a pity indeed. No wonder you came to me to plead for mercy."

"However, since he is so smart, his descendants may be able to inherit it..."

“Such people are indeed worth investing in.”

"Shuimu, you should look for some beautiful women in the clan recently and try to be a matchmaker for him. If successful, the Zheng family can give him a considerable dowry."

"What about the Alchemist?"

Taoist Shuimu asked.

"Keep your word, let him go to the alchemy room to help."

Zheng Jinli waved generously.

After saying this, he felt that it was not appropriate:
"Oh, right, this guy is too smart. Tell the alchemy room to be on guard against him and not let him steal our skills..."

"It's fine if he learns the common alchemy techniques outside, but the Zheng family's secret alchemy techniques cannot be leaked at all."

"Junior understands!"
