Only in ancient times, when there were no family views and sectarian disputes, would this kind of persuasion of cultivation appear.

It was only in ancient times, when everyone practiced wholeheartedly and rarely fought with each other, that there was such a technique as the Ice Mirror Technique, which had major flaws in the struggle.

As far as Shi Yi knows, in ancient times, there were abundant cultivation resources, and there were very few conflicts between monks, which was the most prosperous period for cultivators. It's a pity that the world has changed greatly since then, and the cultivation resources are less than one day a day, and the success rate of alchemy is also outrageously low.

As a result, the competition for cultivation resources is also increasing day by day, and slowly some people find that the resources they have worked hard to accumulate are not as much as they have been forcibly taken, and some monks who try to take shortcuts in vain have begun to plunder, which has led to more and more chaos in the cultivation world.

In this way, in order to protect themselves, the monks began to spontaneously huddle together to keep warm, which further established the position of today's sect power and family as stronger and stronger.

Nowadays, casual cultivators and solo rangers are very rare, because if they don't get a great opportunity, it is generally difficult for them to afford the large amount of resources required for cultivation.

In the end, the luckier of them will rely on some family forces to become elders and guests, and the unlucky ones will die, and their descendants will be wantonly exploited by the Xiao family at today's monk conference, but they can only be like the descendants of the monks who are huddled in the corner and trembling.

............

The excitement in his chest gradually subsided because of the excitement of getting the cheats, Shi Yi carefully flipped through the ice mirror recipe in his hand, and the more he looked at it, the more awkward it became, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that the side effects of this exercise were too great.

Take double damage, and if you are unlucky and are hit by the enemy, it is entirely possible that a minor injury will become a serious injury, and a serious injury will become a fatal injury, and you will be killed.

If there is a choice, Shi Yi's favorite is the melting recipe in his hand, and its fire control ability is very valuable for the increase in alchemy.

It's a pity that the existence of borers limits Shi Yi's choice, and the price paid for strong training is too great, and the future is bleak, and there is a high probability that he will end up with nothing.

Shi Yi took a deep breath, shaking off the feeling of suffering from gains and losses, he told himself that he was really lucky to be able to get the Ice Mirror Recipe this time, if there was no Ice Mirror Technique, he could only try to take a large amount of Tyrannical Essence Pill, hoping that God would open his eyes and let himself gain Qi before the pill completely failed.

Thinking about Xing Yue throughout his life, hoping to rush out of the refining stage but couldn't, what could he sigh about, thinking of this, Shi Yi completely calmed down his state of mind.

............

The light rain was dripping, the boats on the Fubo River were shuttling, the state of Chu did not know what price to pay, Rong Liu finally agreed to control the bandits along the river, with the resumption of transport, a large number of merchants began to pour into Rong Liu these days.

And at a time when many people poured into Rong Liu to seek benefits, several of these merchant ships went against the current and sailed in the direction of Chu State.

That's right, this group of people is the caravan of Shi Yi and Shang Zhongmou. As soon as the appointed time came, Shi Yi did not stay at Xiao's house for long, so he resigned to Xiao Shenhe on the grounds of going back to resume his life.

Xiao Shenhe didn't force him to stay, Shi Yi left the Xiao family very smoothly, but Shi Yi pinched the slightly fragrant sachet in his hand, recalling that when he parted, Xiao Duxue's face was red and shy, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly. I just hope that after knowing the truth, it won't bother her too much......

Compared with the land route when they came, the waterway on the way back was much easier, not only were there no bandits who came to plunder, but the boats were much better than the bumps of the carriage.

However, before leaving, because of the way back, Shi Yi and Shang Zhongmou had a disagreement, Shang Zhongmou preferred to take the land route, he already had a caravan, and this time he loaded a large amount of salt from Rong Liu, hoping that through Shi Yi's temporary escort, he could make a lot of money when he returned to Chu.

Shi Yi's idea is just the opposite, the waterway saves time and effort, as for Shang Zhongmou's careful thinking, what does it have to do with him, if he is not willing to take the waterway, he can return from the land by himself, anyway, Shi Yi is not accompanied.

Shang Zhong was in a dilemma, he wanted to vomit blood angrily, but he really didn't have the courage to take the land route, and finally he gritted his teeth and sold most of the caravan carriages and horses at a very low price in Rong Liu, and decided to take his men and salt, and return to Chu by boat with Shi Yi.

It's a pity that until the ship set sail, Shang Zhongmou still had nearly one-third of the salt not loaded on the ship, and he really bought too much, and the cabin couldn't be stuffed. In the end, he had no choice but to stand on the boat and cry and say goodbye to his golden mountain.

These days on the ship, Shi Yi never saw Shang Zhongmou show up, and asked his subordinates out of curiosity, it turned out that the loss was too great and he was a little depressed, and he hid in the cabin all day long.

Shi Yi couldn't help but laugh secretly when he heard this, but he didn't have much sympathy, and Shang Zhongmou's money itself was not clean.

............

The spring water is blue in the sky, and the boat is painted to listen to the rain.

This is probably Shi Yi's state of mind at this time

Another important reason for such leisure and comfort is that the cultivation progress of the Ice Mirror Technique has finally progressed. At this point, Shi Yi finally officially stepped into the cultivation realm and became a cultivator in the refining period.

Xuangu Huati is filled with treasures, and the irrigation grows halal into the gate of heaven.

This is the general outline of the cultivation in the refining stage, and the most important thing can be summed up in four words, that is, to preserve the essence and retain life.

The focus of cultivation during the refining period is to squeeze the essence and blood in the body until the qi sensation is generated, which is the most difficult and critical step, and it is necessary to master a good degree, too much cultivation will lead to excessive consumption of essence and blood, and even endanger life, and too much caution will not be able to achieve the desired effect, which is equivalent to doing useless work.

Because the amount of essence and blood in each person's body is different, this degree is very difficult to master, and it requires cultivators to experience it on their own and try it repeatedly.

Shi Yi benefited from the particularity of the Ice Mirror Technique, and had a clone to replenish essence blood at any time, coupled with a large amount of Tyranny Pill support, so Shi Yi's cultivation at this step was quite smooth, and it didn't take long to sense the existence of Qi.

In the next practice, Shi Yi only needs to cooperate with the pill and continuously squeeze the essence blood until the Qi produced in the body can completely make up for the loss of essence and blood, so that he can get rid of the dependence on the Violent Essence Pill.

Finally, it is to accumulate the stock of Qi step by step, until it reaches the standard of introducing Qi into the five internal organs, and then you can try to impact the stage of subduing qi.

Everything seems to be in place, Shi Yi can't help but sigh, he found that the threshold for cultivation is quite low, in addition to the requirements for the essence and blood in the body, it seems that there are no taboos, as long as people are young and strong, the restrictions of essence and blood can also be completely ignored.

But is this really what it looks like? The Xiao family is rich and rivals the country, but Xiao Shenhe's youngest son is still just a mortal. The total number of Xiao family monks is only a dozen.

Since the threshold for cultivation is so low, why didn't Xiao Shenhe let his entire clan become monks?

Shi Yi recalled a previous commentary he saw in the melting recipe, in which he bluntly said that cultivating truth is cultivating resources, and it is fighting for life with all things. Shi Yi felt that although this sentence was intense, it also made some sense, just imagine if it wasn't for killing the ten bottles of Tyrant Essence Pill that Zhao Lingzhou got, what was the difference between these cultivation techniques and waste paper for Shi Yi. This may be the cruelty of the cultivation realm.
