Chapter 9, Homesick Town.
Ling Ruoyun said, "Xiao Wu, you have just recovered, go back to your room for a few days of quiet cultivation."
After searching for a long time, Qin Xiaotian found an egg-shaped elixir sealed by a spell, with two ancient seal characters "Li Yun" attached to it. After scanning it with his divine sense and understanding the effect of the Li Yun elixir, he felt that it should be useful, so he took it out and said, "I have a Li Yun elixir here. I don't know if it's useful or not?"
Yuan Weixian said, "If Ruowan agrees, protect me. I will first protect his internal organs and catalyze the power of the elixir."
Qin Xiaotian, who has grown up, desires freedom the most. He felt a sense of relief in his heart and suddenly realized that he was completely free. He no longer had to endure his parents' nagging, the restrictions of his sect, or the need to go to work. Isn't this what he wanted most?
He thinks his luck is really good. Without this Falling Star Pill, Xiaowu's cultivation might not be guaranteed.
Qin Xiaotian sighed and drank all the brewed snow tea in one gulp. He looked at the various colorful spiritual fruits on the large tray, picked up a purple fruit and put it into his mouth.
These records have given Qin Xiaotian a preliminary understanding of the world of cultivation.
The first level of the ancient cultivation method given by Tianzhen Shangren is called "Yanlan Song". This level of cultivation is the most difficult, and it is difficult to refine it solely by personal strength without any assistance.
Qin Xiaotian walked for more than five hours before finally reaching Sixiang Town. He couldn't help but sigh at the condition of the road, which was barely passable. If it weren't for his good physical condition, he wouldn't have been able to make it.
Ling Ruowan added: "Their sect has dozens of disciples, among whom five or six have already reached the Yuanying stage. Their influence is mainly in the vicinity of Baitong Town. Recently, they have started to intervene in Sixiang Town..."
The hot season has arrived, and many people are going out to sea from Sīxiāng Town to fish or search for treasures. They envy the prosperity of Sīxiāng Town and have long wanted to get involved. This time, Xiaowu is fighting with them for this matter.
Wei Chi Bowu's breathing gradually calmed down. He slowly opened his eyes and said with difficulty, "Master... Master... Master's wife, I... I..."
You're as dumb as a pig! Even at a life-or-death moment, you're still so stubborn. If it doesn't work... you can at least mention my name! That way, he'll have some reservations when attacking...
Between mortals, gold is the primary currency, and celestial stones can also be used as currency, usually the lower-grade celestial stones. Various materials collected from the sea can also be used as currency, and the barter system is still preserved here.
Qin Xiaotian pondered and asked, "Are there many experts in the Jingwu Sect?"
Qin Xiaotian asked, "Going to the sea to search for treasures? What kind of treasures are you searching for?"
Sixiang Town is a relatively large seaport, where many sects and cultivators come to purchase materials, sell, or exchange magical treasures.
He really likes the Yuan WeiXian couple and is willing to help them out a bit.
Qin Xiaotian grabbed him and said with a smile, "I'm not really your senior brother, so... you can call me Junior Uncle."
Because he believed that Qin Xiaotian was a disciple of Chiming with sufficient strength to travel on Qianjie Star, he did not need to follow him.
The general ways to obtain a flying sword are usually three: first, relying on the assistance of experts from one's own sect, but the materials must be searched for by oneself; second, refining it oneself, which is rarely done by most people because it is difficult to succeed; the last way is to receive it as a gift from elders or friends.
Yuan Weixian couple looked at each other in silence. After waiting for him to stop laughing, they were stunned for a while. Yuan Weixian said lightly, "Freedom... comes at a cost."
A strong sea breeze blows in, and the distant sound of waves can be faintly heard.
The residents of Sixiang Town, 60% of them are ordinary people, while the rest are cultivators, and all of them are low-level cultivators, with only a few reaching the Nascent Soul stage.
Yuan Wei no longer hesitated and immediately began treatment. Ten minutes later, Yu Chi Bowu regained full consciousness.
Yuan Wei couldn't help but smile and nodded, saying, "As long as you feel free, that's all that matters. I'll take you to the room. If you need anything, just come here and find me."
Qin Xiaotian asked, "Who injured Xiao Wu?"
Most of these cultivators are personnel dispatched by various sects to Sixiang Town. Their main responsibility is to arrange for members of their sect to go out to sea to search for materials or exchange various items needed by the sect. There are many small shops in Sixiang Town that specialize in purchasing and exchanging materials.
The stone houses on both sides of the street are low, damp, and almost all the stone houses with more than two floors are built by cultivators. The houses along the street are mostly owned by cultivators, while the houses of ordinary mortals are built behind the street houses.
Ling Ruoyun asked uneasily, "How is it?"
Yanlan Song's realm is the most painful memory for all ancient immortals, but Qin Xiaotian easily reached the Yanlan Song's realm. He benefited from the transformation of the divine power in his body and soon obtained his own immortal spirit through cultivation.
Yu Chi Bowu smiled awkwardly with blood stains on his face, looking like he was making a grimace.
Yuan Wei is truly a master of the distraction stage. With his profound cultivation, he quickly repaired the shattered internal organs of Yu Chi Bo Wu. For this, he expended a large amount of true elemental power and immediately sat down to recover.
He shook his head and continued, "When Ruowan and I first arrived on Qianjie Star, we were even more excited than you. Later, we realized that no one cares about you... which means no one will help you. Everything depends on your own efforts, otherwise you cannot survive. Hehe, absolute freedom, only belongs to a few people with great abilities."
Qin Xiaotian could faintly hear the shouting as he diligently practiced. He felt like he was in a vegetable market. He never expected that the scene of cultivators setting sail would be like this.
Ling Ruowan said, "I have already reversed the formation. There is a killing formation outside. Don't worry, no one can enter the door."
Qin Xiaotian shouted loudly, "Take me with you too!"
He secretly glanced at Qin Xiaotian and wondered, "Who is this person? Aren't only relatives and friends allowed to enter here?"
There are a total of seven realms in ancient cultivation, namely: Yanlan Song, Jinghua Ning, Senqing Zhu, Haomiao Han, Yanbo Dong, Guizhong Hun, and Tiandi Xie.
Yuan Weixian heard Qin Xiaotian's laughter and couldn't help but blush. He said, "You little brat, pay your respects to your senior brother. If it weren't for him, your cultivation would have been ruined."
Qin Xiaotian is several years older than Yuchi Bowu, but his cultivation time is far behind. Yuchi Bowu started practicing at the age of two and is a famous young genius. He reached the stage of heart movement at the age of fifteen, and Yuan Weixian couple doted on this young disciple very much.
The flowering season has come to an end, and the hot season is quietly approaching. During the hot season, the sunlight can last for more than forty hours, while the night only lasts for about ten hours. The highest temperature can reach over sixty degrees Celsius. However, the temperature at sea is much lower than on land. The ocean during the hot season is the mildest and calmest among the three seasons, making it very suitable for going out to sea.
Nowadays, even if one possesses the ancient methods of cultivating immortality, they cannot find a place to practice like that.
Qin Xiaotian didn't expect this road to be so difficult. He asked for directions and left Shuangjian Gate alone.
So far, Qin Xiaotian still feels like he's dreaming.
Qin Xiaotian said, "I don't know if it's the miraculous medicine of the Mei family. This was given to me by my master. If it can be used... I will give it to you."
Ordinary people, apart from fishing, also work in the shops set up by cultivators.
Actually, this bit of spiritual energy is not very useful to him. Before he fully absorbs the divine power in his body, the external spiritual energy has almost no effect. Neither Chi Ming nor Qin Xiaotian are aware of this.
If we compare Shen Yili to a mountain made of grain, then Qin Xiaotian is like a small mouse at the foot of the mountain. He must eat these grains little by little, and the absorbed Shen Yili can then transform into his own celestial energy.
Yuan Weixian's face turned pale, he gently put down the young man, took out a elixir from his waistband, melted it with true yuan, and fed it to the young man by prying open his mouth.
Qin Xiaotian stood up and found that the young man was severely injured. He had no experience in treating injuries, but it seemed that Yuan Weixian's elixir was not effective. After taking one, the young man remained unconscious.
Qin Xiaotian walked to the seaside, gazing into the distance. He felt that the sunlight was particularly dazzling, and only then did he notice that there were two suns in the sky, one large and one small, hanging on the horizon.
Yu Chi Bowu was puzzled in his heart: "Master's senior brothers have never been here, when did a senior martial brother come?" He bowed and saluted, saying, "Xiao Wu pays respect to Senior Martial Brother."
Yuan Weixian has a very good impression of Qin Xiaotian. Although he doesn't understand why Qin Xiaotian is so humble, he still decides to do as Qin Xiaotian suggests. He said, "Alright, Xiaowu, from now on, I will call you Junior Master. For you... Junior Master has used up a Lifedeparting Pill, so you should thank him quickly."
Upon entering, it melts in the mouth, with a sweet and mellow flavor. He immediately became interested...
Yuan Weixian and Ling Ruowan returned quietly, with Yuan Weixian holding someone in his arms.
Yuan Weixian immediately opened his eyes and said with a shocked expression on his face, "Li Yun Dan? The Li Yun Dan from the Mei family?"
This thing is too delicious. The spiritual energy condensed in the fruit makes people feel very comfortable. He couldn't help but eat one after another, while sinking into contemplation.
Qin Xiaotian couldn't help but "chuckle" and laughed. He didn't expect that Yuan Weixian would scold his disciple like this, saying that if he couldn't win, he would just escape, or even report the names of his teachers and elders. In short, he would never suffer losses.
Yuan Weixian explained, "Those low-level cultivators will go out to sea to find materials for refining tools. The land resources on Qianjie Star are scarce, but the resources in the sea are abundant. Every hot season, many disciples who have just joined the sect will go out to sea to search for various materials."
Qin Xiaotian would never let him address him as "Shibo" (a respectful term for a senior martial brother). He didn't want to be seen as an elder at all. He hurriedly said, "Lao Yuan, let's each mind our own business..."
Sixiang Town is located by the sea, it is a rare bend, nestled behind the towering cliffs by the sea. The town is entirely built with stone buildings, with only one street, winding like a long snake deep into the mountains.
Unfortunately, Qin Xiaotian has no idea what his talents are, and there is no one to guide him. He is still in the stage of learning and exploring, and he must explore and move forward on his own.
The cultivators were dressed in bright and eye-catching attire, with a few experts wearing battle armor. He knew that those were experts at the Nascent Soul stage or above. They were often accompanied by a group of people, clearly indicating that they were low-level disciples of the sect.
If it weren't for the thought of knowing Yuan Weixian from the Shuangjian Sect, he would most likely have left Qin Xiaotian in the wilderness to find his own way out.
Rascal, how many times have I said it, you can't beat me... Aren't you going to run away? You're so stubborn... It will cost you your life! Do you understand?
Qin Xiaotian sighed secretly in his heart. The status of Chiming was really too high, making it difficult for him to socialize with people of the same generation, even if he wanted to. He said, "Xiaowu, don't be polite."
We will be back soon!
Yuan Weixian finally breathed a sigh of relief and exclaimed, "It's truly a miraculous pill refined by the Mei family. Xiao Wu is quite lucky."
Qin Xiaotian walked towards the seaside. The sea breeze blew against his face. The boundless sea, under the sunlight, shimmered with layers of waves. A group of unknown seabirds circled in the sky. There were many peculiar-looking small boats on the beach. People gathered in groups on the sand, as if discussing something.
Yuchi Bowu became even more puzzled in his heart. When Shibo said he became Xiaoshishu, everything became chaotic. Upon hearing from Shizun that Xiaoshishu had used a Lifenyun Pill for himself, he was even more astonished. No wonder he recovered so quickly. He quickly bowed again and said, "Thank you, Xiaoshishu."
Since reaching the Deity Separation stage, he has been practicing the magic weapon for crossing the tribulation. Apart from collecting materials, he usually cultivates at home. When Qin Xiaotian said he wanted to go to Sixiang Town, he didn't think about accompanying him, but only told him the direction to Sixiang Town.
The dressing of ordinary people is very different, and some people even wear rough clothes made of fish skin.
Qin Xiaotian curiously asked, "What happened? What kind of treasure is this?" He can now distinguish what is a treasure.
The distance from Shuangjianmen to Sixiangzhen is approximately five kilometers. It only takes a few minutes to fly from Shuangjianmen to Sixiangzhen, but it takes a long time to walk to Sixiangzhen.
The Mei family has several types of Liyun Dan. This is a top-grade elixir exclusively used by the Mei family. Only a few close friends of the Mei family can obtain such Liyun Dan.
Now it's good, you almost died. I beat him half to death, and this grudge has been settled... I've never seen someone as stupid as you... Sigh, it makes me so angry...
In a daze, Qin Xiaotian swept away all the spiritual fruits. He looked at the plate somewhat awkwardly and thought, "Oops, why am I so greedy? I'm going to be laughed at for this."
Yuan Weixian just remembered that Chiming's elder brother is Li Qiang, so it's not surprising to have such a miraculous medicine.
Speed up... We are cultivators heading to the Pingsha Reef. We still need two more people, at least at the Fusion stage!
After eating a large plate of Lingguo, Qin Xiaotian felt feverish all over, so he simply sat down on the ground and started to practice.
Met Master Chiming inexplicably and began cultivating immortality inexplicably. What's even more unbelievable is that I ended up on an alien planet, and it's a planet dedicated to cultivation. Everyone here seems to possess extraordinary abilities.
Yuan Weixian didn't know that Qin Xiaotian couldn't fly, nor did he know that he had his own flying sword.
However, he greatly admires the approach of Yu Chi Bowu, who fights straightforwardly and does not resort to cunning tactics like Lao Yuan.
After a few days of rest, you will be fine. Yuan Weixian shook his head and said, "I used to think that the elixirs I cultivated were not bad. Alas, compared with the elixirs of the Mei family, the gap is not just a little bit. The elixirs of the Mei family... are truly well-deserved of their reputation, remarkable! Admirable, truly admirable!" He couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
Yuan Weixian sighed and said, "Alas, this child is a troublemaker. This time, he has offended a famous expert from the Qianjie Star's Boundary Shaman sect. He actually dared to fight with a Nascent Soul stage expert. Fortunately, I arrived in time, otherwise... this kid would have been finished."
Yuan Weixian said, "Many of the sect leaders have similar cultivation levels to mine, and even if they are lower than me, it is limited. However, there is an elder in their sect who is very powerful, having reached the rare stage of initial integration. We cannot afford to provoke him. Fortunately, he has gone out to gain experience and is currently not in the sect."
Yu Chi Bowu struggled to stand up and saluted, saying, "Thank you, Master, for saving me. Thank you, Madam!"
The divine power in the chest and abdomen, with astonishing strength, effortlessly allowed him to enter the realm of Yanlan Song with just a trace of divine power.
As soon as they appeared, Qin Xiaotian opened his eyes. He was startled to see Yuan Weixian holding a young boy in his arms, covered in blood. The boy's green long robe was torn and tattered, and his face was stained with fresh blood.
He said subconsciously, "Xiaotian, this is too precious... I..." Suddenly he realized what he was saying and couldn't refuse at this moment. Looking at Qin Xiaotian, he couldn't help but show an embarrassed expression.
This road is quite difficult to walk on. It is a rugged and uneven mountain road, with a long stretch of it being created using magic spells. Among them, the most challenging part is the narrow path carved on the cliff, with the sea on one side and a rock wall on the other. At the narrowest point, one must squeeze through sideways.
Suddenly, someone behind called out, "Hey..."
Ling Ruowan supported him and said, "Xiao Wu, quickly practice your skills to heal your injuries. We can talk later. We have already arrived home, so there's no need to rush."
Once reaching the realm of Yanlan Song, one can fly, refine tools, manipulate magic treasures, and set up restrictions. Whatever cultivators can achieve, Qin Xiaotian can also achieve, and even possess abilities that many cultivators cannot.
In the ancient era of cultivating ancient immortals, people in the realm of innocence had access to an unimaginable abundance of spiritual energy. Although the initial stage of cultivation in the first level was extremely difficult, there were still individuals who managed to succeed.
Qin Xiaotian still doesn't know how precious the ancient immortal cultivation method given to him by Tianzhen Shangren is. This is a cultivation method that has never appeared in the cultivation world before. As long as he cultivates diligently, any progress will be exceptionally astonishing. The cultivation methods in the cultivation world are simply incomparable.
Qin Xiaotian is very interested in the ocean. He had never seen the ocean when he was on Earth, and he didn't expect to live by the sea when he came to the alien planet. He asked, "Can I go into the sea?"
Qin Xiaotian said, "Saving lives is important, Lao Yuan, don't be polite." Things that are easily obtained are often not appreciated for their value. However, even if Qin Xiaotian knows that the Linyun Pill is precious, he will still take it out.
Someone shouted loudly: "We still need a cultivator in the Qi Opening period here. Who wants to sign up?"
Adding to it, Chiming never intended to take on an apprentice seriously, nor did he have such great patience. He got tired of it shortly after taking on apprentices, so he made an excuse for his disciple to cultivate on his own and irresponsibly left Qin Xiaotian on the Qianjie Star.
Qin Xiaotian remained silent. His divine consciousness penetrated into the Dust-Seeking Bracelet, quickly examining the spiritual pills inside.
The master took away the parents, but left his own disciple in an unrelated place. Qin Xiaotian became more and more confused. He didn't know what to do in the future. He felt lost in his heart. Does he only have the path of cultivation?
The bracelet left by Chiming doesn't have many things in it, but each one is a top-quality item. Most of them are materials used for refining tools, a small part consists of magic treasures and elixirs, as well as some disposable consumables like jade talismans.
Sitting bored, he took out the jade pupil jade given by Yuan Wei Xian, and slowly examined it with his divine sense. In the future, in order to survive in the cultivation world, it is better to understand it first for peace of mind.
Ling Ruowan was also stunned. She was well aware of the role of the Linyun Pill. For cultivators who had not yet reached the Nascent Soul stage, having the Linyun Pill was like having an extra life. The Linyun Pill and the Yuanyang Pill were very famous in the cultivation world, and very few cultivators were able to obtain such elixirs.
The town of Sīxiāng welcomes its liveliest season, with people coming and going on the streets. From time to time, one can see sword shadows flying across the sky. More powerful cultivators usually prefer to travel in groups of several people and fly their swords directly into the sea without passing through Sīxiāng Town. Only those who have just begun their cultivation would hire a boat to enter the sea.
Yuan Wei leisurely reached out and took a glance at it, couldn't help but be overjoyed, this is the best Linyun Pill.
Qin Xiaotian's face showed a look of ecstatic joy, and he burst into a hysterical laughter: "Wow, I'm free, hahaha...hahaha...haha!"
Yuan Wei raised her eyebrows and scolded, "You worthless scoundrel, always picking fights and causing trouble. Now, you've finally met someone more powerful than you, haven't you?"
Qin Xiaotian successfully entered the first level of the Yanlan Song realm, but due to just obtaining a bit of immortal spiritual energy, his strength is still relatively weak.
Ling Ruowan replied in a low voice, "He is Wei Chi Bowu, the youngest disciple of the Shuangjian Sect. Alas, this child is ambitious and fierce. This time, he has provoked a formidable opponent and almost lost his life."
In the Qianjie Star, the cultivators who have just begun their practice lack the most essential item, which is their own flying sword. They must search for materials to refine their flying swords.
However, there are also significant risks. His divine power was forcibly injected by Chiming, mixed with a trace of dark magic. After being transformed into immortal spirit energy, unexpected situations may arise, even the innocent celestial beings cannot be certain.
In the Yutongjian, there is no mention of the divine realm and ancient immortals. Yuan Weixian has little understanding of cultivating gods and ancient immortals, which is exactly what Qin Xiaotian needs to know. He carries a divine power infused by Chiming, as well as an ancient cultivation method given by Tianzhenren. The cultivation methods in the cultivation world are of no use to him.
Yuan Weixian said, "This is a distress signal specially made by the Shuangjian Sect. Xiaotian, please wait a moment, I will be right back... Ruowen, let's go together." Without waiting for Qin Xiaotian's response, a white light flashed, and he and Ling Ruowen disappeared without a trace.
He hasn't finished speaking yet. Ling Ruowan interrupted and said, "That won't do. It's already inappropriate for us to have a relationship as peers. How can we allow Xiaowu to have a relationship with you as peers? Xiaowu, come and greet your senior uncle!"
Ling Ruoyun looked nervously on the side, Qin Xiaotian walked to her side and asked in a low voice, "Who is he?"
The content in the book "Jade Pupil's Guide" is compiled by Yuan Weixian. This is a teaching material he prepared for his disciples. The content is very detailed, starting from the basics of cultivation, and includes comprehensive records of various cultivation sects and their headquarters. It also provides some descriptions of immortals, demons, spirits, and ghosts.
After reaching the first level of the Smoke and Mist Realm, the cultivation is roughly equivalent to the astonishing power between the Nascent Soul stage and the Astral Projection stage of a cultivator.
The initial hurdle in ancient cultivation of immortality was to cultivate the first strand of immortal spiritual energy, which could only be produced after accumulating a large amount of spiritual energy.
Chiming deeply resonates with the training experience of his elder brother Li Qiang. Therefore, he has always believed that allowing disciples to cultivate on their own is the only way to achieve greater success.
Yuan Wei glanced at him strangely and said, "Xiao Tian, no one will interfere with you here. As long as you have the ability, you can do whatever you want. This is the cultivation world, not the mundane world."
Qin Xiaotian finally arrived at Sixiang Town. Before his eyes were dilapidated streets and low stone houses. Every person walking on the street was dressed differently, presenting a diverse and colorful scene.
Yuan Weixian apologetically nodded at Qin Xiaotian, then sat cross-legged behind the young man. A white light enveloped the youth.
In the elixir, there is a small amount of Qi Ji Dan, as well as some elixirs used by cultivators, most of which were obtained from Li Qiang by Chi Ming.
Yu Chi Bowu nodded cleverly and said, "Yes, Master, I will go clean up and then go into seclusion." He turned around and left.
A fleet of small boats set off one after another from the beach.
Qin Xiaotian disapproved and said, "I don't have great abilities, but I can still have freedom."
