The wind was blowing, and it was another dark and windy night.

The temperature in the mountains and forests is dropping rapidly, Jin Cheng has long been accustomed to such temperature changes, no matter how hot the mountains are during the day, they are still very cool at night, and if you sleep until the second half of the night, you will catch a cold without a quilt.

Soon after, Jin Cheng found that there was a wolf pack a hundred meters behind him, this wolf pack was not small, there were at least forty or fifty wolves, and one of the wolves was a gray wolf as strong as a calf, one size bigger than other wild wolves, Jin Cheng guessed that it might be the wolf king.

He was not interested in entangling with these beasts, he heard that wolf meat was sour and difficult to eat, so even if he killed these wolves, it would only be a waste of flesh, not to mention that dozens of wolves were not easy to kill.

The mountain roads are difficult to walk, the speed cannot be improved, and it is really not easy to get rid of these wolves. Jin Cheng continued to walk forward for twenty minutes, but there was no road in front of him, and a steep cliff blocked the way.

Jin Cheng observed this cliff with his divine sense, two hundred meters without a peak, in the dark night, he didn't know how high this mountain peak was, what the situation was on it, but he knew that this kind of ninety-degree cliff was extremely difficult to climb, especially the situation at the height was unknown, there was no need to take risks.

Besides, he didn't have any climbing tools at hand, only a native flying tiger claw and a rope of 100 meters, Jin Cheng thought that if he had the opportunity, he would still have to buy some professional equipment, and he would often mix in this mountain in the future, and some difficulties had to be overcome.

He swept the other side of the river with his senses, and on the other side of the river was an open field, with only a few low bushes and lush meadows, and in the middle of the mountains there was such a flat land, which seemed to be incompatible with the surrounding primeval forest environment with ancient trees.

Without too much hesitation, the wolves were less than fifty meters behind him, Jin Cheng took out the water bead given to him by the dragon carp from the space ring, held it in his mouth, and then jumped into the river.

The river automatically parted around him, and a cylindrical waterless barrier was formed within a foot around him, and soon the cylinder sank to the bottom, and the turbulent river did not give him any impact, and naturally flowed away from the side of the column, without stirring up the slightest splash, as if he was not stressed at all, and in this way, he walked leisurely from the bottom of the river to the opposite bank.

This river is twenty or thirty meters wide, seven or eight meters deep, the flow rate is fast, the water flow is large, due to the long-term erosion of the river water, the riverbed is very clean, Jin Cheng stepped on the stone, his feet did not stick to the mud, a few steps came to the opposite bank, but when he climbed ashore, it took a little effort.

In the grasslands of Pingchuan, Jin Cheng was like a wild horse, letting go of the speed and running wildly, in the dark night, he was like an elf in the mountains, and everywhere he went, the animals that came out to graze at night panicked and avoided.

This is a valley surrounded by mountains on three sides, facing water on one side, the valley area is not large, Jin Cheng ran to the end in two minutes, he looked at the mountains surrounded on three sides, the same is the peak of the shadow and shadow, and the same is a cliff that is difficult to climb, he has an idea, this place is not simple, if according to the feng shui set of words, by the mountains and rivers, this is the treasure of feng shui.

Next, he walked around the valley quickly and got a general idea of the valley, which was about two kilometers long and about a kilometer wide, and its shape was similar to an oval.

The strange thing is that Jin Cheng ran around and didn't find anything abnormal, this is an ordinary valley, plain, no strange flowers and plants, no fierce birds and beasts, and no natural treasures, just a paradise where rabbits and other small animals live.

Jin Cheng was not at ease, so he searched the valley again, this time the search was more careful, but he also found nothing.

Could it be that my instincts at the beginning were wrong, or was something overlooked by me? Jin Cheng was puzzled.

The area is so big, every inch of land, he has carefully inspected, on the ground, even ten meters underground, he has not let go, as for the deeper underground, he can't detect it, with his current cultivation, the divine sense to explore ten meters below the ground is already the limit.

It is unlikely that there is a leak on the ground, so the most likely thing is that on the cliff, Jin Cheng searched along the bottom of the cliff, and put his divine sense to the limit to scan the stone wall within two hundred meters above his head.

Time was losing minute by minute, Jin Cheng was still not in a hurry, and from time to time he would slow down and think, in the north of the valley, he stopped, looked up, in fact, he couldn't see it above.

One hundred and fifty meters above the stone wall, there is a small platform, a pine tree grows on the platform, the dense branches and leaves of the pine tree block a small cave behind, the entrance of the cave is very small, it may be difficult for a fat person to enter, but the inside is gradually widening, and Jin Cheng can't find out the situation inside.

In addition to this cave, along the way, he found that there were many valuable medicinal materials on the cliff, which were not used to cure diseases and save people, but the medicinal materials needed by martial artists to strengthen their physique, similar to the medicinal materials needed by Jin Cheng to refine his body.

Strictly speaking, the alchemy technique that Jin Cheng is practicing now is also an ancient martial arts, but what Jin Cheng cultivates is different, he only refines his physique, not his internal qi. If you have aura, you can cultivate your internal qi again, unless it's a show of your head.

After the ancient martial arts monks reach the Jindan stage, they will be faced with a choice of whether to continue refining their bodies or turn to cultivating spiritual energy and become a cultivator.

The vast majority of monks will turn into cultivators, and in that era when the spiritual energy between heaven and earth is abundant, this is almost the only choice, because the difficulty of refining the body is too great, and the dependence on the pill is extremely high, and without the pill to strengthen the physique, it is almost impossible to improve the level.

And every time the level is upgraded, the cost of impacting the next level will be ten times or even more, once the refining body reaches the sixth level, the medicinal materials required for upgrading are extremely rare even in the original cultivation realm, and their preciousness is self-evident.

The price that a refiner has to pay for cultivation is more than twice that of an ordinary cultivator, but its attack power is far inferior to that of a cultivator, and what it has is only super defense, and at the same level, no one can help anyone, but the initiative is in the hands of the cultivator, and this kind of pay and return are not equal, and there are very few refiners.

Facts have proved that refining the body is not a good choice, and some monks try to double cultivate the Dao body, just like Jin Cheng is doing now, both cultivating the true and refining the body, both at the same time.

However, there is one of the biggest problems with this kind of cultivation method, there is not enough time, and the cultivation is really the process of refining the spiritual energy from the outside world into the original spiritual energy stored in the zài dantian, and this process is very time-consuming. Body refining is the process of refining the body with internal (spiritual) qi, and of course it can also be assisted by the external environment, which is also long and extremely painful.

It is basically unrealistic to practice two exercises at the same time, and in the end many people achieve nothing. Jin Cheng's master was hopeless in cultivating and upgrading back then, and turned to refining the body, hoping to make a breakthrough, but later he still failed to do so.
