The autumn mood of Guangping City is getting cooler, and the fallen leaves dance with the wind, startling the cold pool frogs.

Liu Chen and the others couldn't extricate themselves from their cultivation, and they quickly spent two days. It wasn't until the early morning of the third day that the rooster crowed, and then he stopped cultivating.

"Strangely, I didn't sleep for two days, and instead of feeling sleepy, I felt better than ever. Even if I haven't eaten anything for the past two days, I don't feel hungry. Xu Yan touched his flat stomach and said to Liu Chen.

Hearing this, the latter stopped cultivating, slowly opened his eyes, and said with a slight smile, "Cultivation is the process of constantly transcending the mundane, and this is just the beginning. ”

"From the moment you step into the practice, you are destined to be far beyond the ordinary. Monks have a longer life and a stronger physique. With the ascension of cultivation, there is no sleep, no grain, no flying into the sky, and omnipotent. ”

"Although we have just enlightened our spirits, we have already had a lifespan of a hundred years that is difficult for mortals to achieve under the washing of the aura on our bodies day and night, and our strength is comparable to the combined strength of three adult males. I don't feel too weak if I don't eat for two or three days."

"As for sleeping, it is even more useless, mortals go to bed in fact to make up for the mental energy expended on this day. The monk's own cultivation has the effect of restoring spiritual power, and if the cultivation of the spiritual formula consumes the mind, it is enough to meditate. ”

Xu Yan listened, although he solved the doubts in his heart, he had a new doubt. has been with Liu Chen for more than a year, and he has the impression that he is a stupid boy who doesn't know anything about survival skills.

Hearing that he fled to this Guangping City after the flood that year, at first he thought that Liu Chen was a rich boy who was too spoiled by his family.

And now, seeing that when he talks about cultivation, he talks like a river, and he has an obviously high-level enlightenment recipe on his body, and sometimes he also shows the color of memories, which makes Xu Yan feel more and more that Liu Chen's background is unfathomable and has a deep story.

However, Xu Yan didn't ask much, he knew that everyone had their own secrets. Since Liu Chen doesn't want to say more, he has some unspeakable suffering, so why bother to get to the bottom of it and annoy people in vain.

"Let's go, it's time to beg for something to eat, anyway, we still have to eat something. I haven't eaten for two days, and I always feel that my stomach is empty, so I can't get used to it. ”

When Liu Chen heard Xu Yan's words, he didn't know whether he was angry or funny, shook his head, and walked outside the broken temple, smiling as he walked.

"Xu Yan, Xu Yan, you have all stepped into cultivation, do you still want to be a beggar for the rest of your life? You must know that you now have the power that is very human. ”

Xu Yan was stunned when he heard this, and a bright light flashed in his eyes, grinning and smirking, and ran towards Liu Chen, who was getting farther and farther away.

……

At night, the wind passed through the dilapidated old temple and hit Liu Chen and the others. Both of them were wearing ill-fitting coarse linen clothes, and they didn't cover their bodies, but they didn't feel cool in autumn.

At this time, the two of them buried their heads, their heads together, and counted the dense piles of copper plates on the ground. With a smile on his face, a pair of steaming roast chickens sit beside him.

"Rich, dumb... Oh no, Brother Liu! We made a full 300 wen in one day, I've never seen so much money in my life, hehe"

"It's just a little money, it's just a little money, and we'll never go hungry again! Eat this chicken quickly, it will definitely taste bad when it is cold. ”

Although Liu Chen was talking about a small amount of money, his eyes were staring directly at the copper plate on the ground, and there was a smirk on his face that was the same as Xu Yan. Looking at the tempting aroma of roast chicken on the side, he reached out and took it into his arms and took a big bite of it.

The two of them went out of the broken temple in the morning, so they went straight to the wharf in the west of the city, and found a rough job on the wharf to carry goods, fifty wen a day, and lunch food.

Facing water in the west of Quang Binh City, it is an important tributary of the Mengjiang River. Countless ships came and went every day, feeding a large group of coolie porters.

At first, the dock merchant did not believe that the bony bodies of the two boys could withstand a bag of goods weighing sixty pounds each. But after seeing Xu Yan and the two of them each casually lift a boulder of about 50 kilograms, the merchant marveled at the great strength of the two and scattered the guards who were about to drive the two out of the dock.

The two parties reached an agreement that they would be paid a few jobs for normal adult men. Today, although the two are a little unfamiliar with this way of life, they still get six rewards with their strength and staying power that are different from ordinary people.

On the way back to the ruined temple with the two happily taking the reward, they smelled the tempting aroma of meat from the street vendor's called flower chicken, gritted their teeth and bought two delicacies that the two had never seen and never eaten.

"The two chickens cost us thirty wen, and there are two more than seventy wen left," Liu Chen counted the copper plates on the ground, calmed down his body that was trembling slightly from excitement, and said.

The common currency of the Qingcang Star mortal world is mainly silver and gold, but because the Qingcang Star is very vast, has many influences and most of the exchanges are inconvenient, different regions have different base currencies.

Wu Yangguo issued a kind of standard copper coin, one hundred Wen is consistent, ten pieces of money are worth one tael of silver, ten taels of silver are equivalent to one tael of gold. The gold is linked to the spirit stone, and usually one or two gold can be exchanged for one spirit stone.

The shape and size of the spirit stone had mandatory regulations after the Qingcang Sect dominated the major forces of the Spirit Star. Since then, economic and trade have become more convenient, and exchanges between various regions of influence have become more and more frequent, and after three hundred years, they have finally become a consensus...

"That's a lot of money, how many meals of meat can we eat! Liu Chen, you said that those aristocratic lords are richer than us, and they must be able to eat a lot of meat every day," Xu Yan danced with his hands, expressing the joy in his heart.

He began to think about the days to come, with big fish and meat every day, new clothes to protect him from the cold, and no longer have to live in this leaky and dilapidated temple.

Liu Chen looked at Xu Yan with an uninformed look, feeling a little funny and a little sad. He remembered the days when he was a child in Qingcang Sect, when he drank elixir and jade liquid, and ate rare beasts...

I was a little distracted, and the cheerful figure of the girl in the purple dress once again floated in my heart. The light of hatred flashed in his eyes, and the seeds of revenge had long been rooted in the young man's heart.

Shaking his head, a wry smile appeared on the corner of Liu Chen's mouth, and he took a few deep breaths to forcibly regain his composure.

"Not enough, far from enough. Poor and rich, Brother Xu, you are a little too happy too early. For us to open all the portals in these three months and step into the forging realm. In addition to daily penance, we must also rely on a certain amount of external force. ”

"I know the recipe of some ointments, and through a certain proportion of herbs, I can apply them to the hundreds of acupoints around my body, which can effectively improve my sensitivity to the perception of aura, so as to achieve the purpose of assisting low-level monks in their cultivation."

Liu Chen looked down at the neatly stacked copper coins on the ground, sighed, and continued, "Even if you mix the cheapest ointment, these money will be enough to buy a few of the auxiliary medicines needed in it, and it is far from enough to really make the ointment. ”

Xu Yan was a little helpless and a little anxious when he heard this, and said, "How is this good?" I'm over fifteen years old, and if I miss it this year, I'll never have the chance to step into this Lingxi Sect on my own. ”

"It's okay, your qualifications are on par with me, as long as you follow my plan, you will definitely be able to step into the Forging Body Realm within three months" Liu Chen was cheeky and swore to look at Xu Yan.

"This month, we went to do odd jobs during the day and practiced hard at night, striving to open twenty Xuanmen. Once the Xuanmen in our body breaks through the twenty realms, we will be able to have the strength to compete with the first cultivator who has stepped into the forging realm with the nine Xuanmen. ”

"As for making money, we have to have both. With our strength far beyond ordinary people, if we can earn as much as we do today, we can save seven or eight taels of silver in a month, which is enough to buy two sharp mortal soldiers. ”

"With the weapons at hand, coupled with the gradual cultivation of our cultivation, we can go to the outskirts of the city, find a mountain forest, kill some fierce beasts, and pick herbs. What is useful to us can be used for our own cultivation; And if it is valuable, but it is of no use to us, we can also sell it to the shops in the city and make some money. ”

"It makes sense, then these three months will depend on you, my most beloved Brother Liu, you let me go east, I will never go west!"

Xu Yan spit out the last chicken bone and showed a fiery gaze towards Liu Chen, his eyes rolling slightly, like a monkey scratching his ears and cheeks.

……

After a sleepless night, the two of them opened their eyes almost at the same time and slowly exhaled turbid air.

Liu Chen felt the speed of the whirlpool rotating in the dantian slowly decreasing as the spirit technique no longer operated, sinking his mind into it. I saw that on the vortex of spiritual power, there were four tall and majestic portals, which were the Xuanmen.

"Opening another Xuanmen, opening five Xuanmen makes me feel that my strength has reached a new height, and my cultivation is really magical."

Just as Liu Chen was satisfied with his cultivation speed, a voice broke the tranquility out of place. Hearing Xu Yan's slightly embarrassed words, Liu Cheng's face was full of black lines.

"It's not too early, let's go, today we have to be more efficient than yesterday, although we are selling some coolies, but this is not a kind of cultivation."

Liu Chen's words are not unreasonable, enlightening the spirit and forging the body are all to improve the strength of the physical body, so that the body can withstand more powerful spiritual energy in the future. The physical body is the root of cultivation, and apart from the physical body, everything is empty talk.

Although there are powerful monks who can get out of the body, after the spirit is out of the body, the cultivation will not climb at all, but will drop significantly due to the loss of the physical body. If you can't return to your own body for a long time, the primordial spirit will slowly dissipate, and eventually the form and spirit will be destroyed, leaving only an empty body between heaven and earth.

Now the two seem to have given up half of their time and wasted on the useless work of making money, but this is not the case. In the process of transporting goods, the two destroyed their bodies again and again, constantly breaking through their own limits. While improving one's endurance, he has developed the will not to give in easily.

"Okay, then let's go, I'm going to earn more today!" As soon as he heard that he was going to make money, Xu Yan's eyes lit up, and he looked impatient.

Liu Chen nodded, the two of them didn't say more, and then rushed towards the west of the city. At this time, it was just dawn, and the autumn sun was slowly rising, bringing with it the last traces of darkness...
