Ding Zhengyi lay comfortably on the rocking chair under the shade of the sycamore tree, holding an open ancient book in his hand, and a small couch with a delicate texture next to it.

The breeze gently brushed his white and round face, and the fragrance of tea and plants floating in the air lingered in his nose, and wisps of warm light sprinkled down, through the gaps between the leaves, reflecting a mottled patch on his body.

The sun on the west slopes on the tall plane trees, projecting a pagoda inlaid with glass on the ground, quiet and solemn.

Squinting at the shadow of the tree on the ground, Ding Zhengyi raised his hand and gently closed the page, the edge of the yellowed cover was slightly warped, and there were some faint fine lines like spider webs on it, and the shadow of the tree was reflected on it, revealing a wordless vicissitudes of life.

Putting the book on the wooden couch and casually brushing his hair that was lifted by the breeze, Ding Zhengyi looked up into the distance.

The pieces of spiritual fields are like chessboards, which are dotted with three colors: golden, green, and dark.

The golden yellow color is the spiritual valley that is about to ripen, and the ears of grain fluctuate layer by layer under the blowing of the breeze, constantly surging.

The tender green is the spirit grass that has just sprouted, and the tender shoots are like a green garment spread on the ground.

The dark black is the spiritual field that is being ploughed, and the whole exudes a kind of heaviness and simplicity.

A green-armored ox had four hooves like a stigma, its whole body was smooth like green satin, its muscles were like fruits hanging on a spirit jujube tree, it was full of explosive power, and the spirit plough turned up rows of dark and shiny spiritual soil behind it.

Father Ding Zhongyuan held the plow in one hand and the whip in the other, followed closely behind the Qingjia Niu, and kept making a "ho-ho" sound, urging the Qingjia Niu to move forward.

Ding Zhengyi looked at his father's feet, he kept avoiding the turned spiritual soil, and from time to time he used the plough root to send left and right, so that the large pieces of spiritual soil turned out were finely broken.

Ding Zhongyuan has a square face with broad eyebrows, and his whole body bears bronze marks after working all year round, and he has a simple personality and is not good at expressing himself.

He was naked at this time, the sweat on his forehead was flowing wantonly, and his broad back was flashing with a moist light, and Ding Zhengyi looked at it, and his eyes gradually moistened.

Ding Zhongyuan has no talent in cultivation skills because of his poor cultivation qualifications, and the only thing he is good at is cultivating spiritual plants.

However, Ding Zhengyi's grandfather, Ding Changshou, as the elder of the family, still has some power, and he can completely protect his father and make him comfortable as an idle family steward.

But in order to provide his son with more cultivation resources, Ding Zhongyuan gave up the easy life at his fingertips, and still worked day after day.

Slowly retracting his gaze, Ding Zhengyi looked down at the ancient books on the wooden couch again, and sighed.

Although his father's hard work made his cultivation resources quite sufficient, and his cultivation progress was far ahead of his brothers and sisters of the same generation, every time he saw his father so tired, Ding Zhengyi felt very uncomfortable.

Ding Zhengyi has been quiet and calm since he was a child, and he always likes to hold a book and read it with relish when other children of the same age play around.

These classics are very ordinary, although they are not some advanced cultivation exercises and spell cheats, but this has also greatly broadened Ding Zhengyi's horizons, the long and vicissitudes of history described in the classics, the splendid and magnificent mountains and rivers, and the ability of high-level monks to call the wind and rain, all make him more yearning and firm for cultivating and enhancing his strength.

According to the classics, the continent where human beings are located is called Qingyun Continent, and the Qingyun Continent is millions of miles in circumference, in addition to the eastern plain area where human beings are located, there are many other ethnic groups living in the wild mountains in the west that are not suitable for human habitation.

Among them, the strongest is the demon clan, the demon clan is generally thick skin, sharp teeth and claws, and it is even more defenseless in the mountains and jungles, and for countless thousands of years, human beings have not thought of entering the mountains to expand their territory, but many actions have been seriously damaged, and they have to build fortresses and passes for defense at various key nodes near the plains in the wild mountains.

To the east of the continent is the boundless ocean, and the overall strength of the sea tribes in the ocean is no less powerful than the humans on this continent.

Fortunately, most of the Sea Clan's combat power on land will be affected, and only a small part of it can be played, even so, the range of human activities in the ocean is very limited, only within a thousand miles of the sea, which is still the result of many wars between humans and the Sea Clan over the years.

In this continent where human beings live and reproduce, there are hundreds of large and small countries scattered on the eastern plains and some islands near the sea, and most of these countries are the projections of the forces of various cultivation sects in the secular world.

Within the sphere of influence of each country, there is at least one or more Xiuzhen sects, as well as an indefinite number of Xiuzhen family forces.

Under normal circumstances, the overall strength of the Xiuzhen family is weak due to the limitations of the background and the qualifications of the bloodline clansmen, and only under the protection of the Xiuzhen sect can they stably occupy the spiritual vein to develop and survive, so they will generally pay tribute to the sect on time Some cultivation resources, and occasionally accept some dispatch tasks from the sect.

Ding Zhengyi's Xiuzhen family is located in a small country called Xuanshan Country, which is the sphere of influence of the Xuanshan faction.

Xuanshan Kingdom is located in the southern border of the Qingyun Continent in the Qingyun Great World, bordering the Longyou River that runs through the entire continent in the north, and facing the Lingwu Kingdom controlled by the Lingwu Sect across the river.

The low hills and dense forests extending from the wild mountains in the west are infested with low-level monsters or alien races from time to time.

To the east and south are the ocean, and although the sea is abundant and the offshore sea is relatively safe, it is not something that mortals and low-ranking monks can enter at will.

The entire Xuanshan country has a radius of no less than 10,000 miles, the plains cover more than half of the area, and the other hills and lakes each occupy about two layers, with a total population of tens of millions.

The history of the Qingyun World has been recorded for millions of years, and at the beginning, human beings were quite weak among the hundred races, because of their lack of physical strength, their teeth were not sharp, they could not run fast, and they could not jump far.

However, they are good at thinking and summarizing, knowing that only in groups can there be hope for survival, and with the passage of time, human beings have united to study the cultivation of true exercises and spells, forge magic weapons and magic weapons, and develop a world dominated by cultivators.

According to the exploration and practice of countless sages, the realm of cultivation was finally divided into five stages: Qi training, foundation building, Jindan, Yuanying, and Shenhua.

The essence of cultivation is to absorb and refine the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to improve the quantity and quality of the vitality in the body, so that the divine soul can be continuously sublimated, and the improvement of the realm is reflected in the increase of longevity and the power of spells.

During the Qi training period, there is a hundred years of longevity, no disease and no disaster, the divine sense can be seen inward, and the dantian is a gaseous vitality.

During the foundation building period, the longevity increased to two hundred, the divine consciousness was released dozens of zhang, and the dantian was liquid mana.

There are five hundred longevity yuan in the Jindan period, and the release of divine consciousness can reach hundreds of zhang, and the dantian is a solid Danyuan.

The longevity of the Yuan infant period is thousands, the divine consciousness is released for thousands of zhang, and the divine soul is integrated into the Dan Yuan to form the true yuan, and every gesture can affect the aura of heaven and earth.

As for what the situation of the transformation of the gods is, there is no detailed record in the classics of the Ding family, and it should be called a land immortal.

Because the improvement of individual strength often depends on the amount of cultivation resources, after the human race drove the other races in the eastern plains of the Qingyun Continent into the inhospitable wilderness and sea, the powerful cultivators instructed the major cultivation sects and families to attack each other in order to compete for limited resources.

The chaotic fighting and looting that lasted for tens of thousands of years led to the rarity of cultivation resources such as elixirs and spiritual objects in the cultivation realm to rise again, and finally the human cultivation realm war broke out, in which many geographical environments and properties were destroyed, and the number of monks and mortals was even less than one in ten.

The brutality of the war terrified all the remaining forces, and at the same time, the foreigners who had been suppressed in the wilderness were also ready to move.

As a result, several major Xiuzhen factions that survived in this catastrophe agreed to a truce, and several major Xiuzhen factions led by Qingyuan Sect and Demon Cloud Sect called on hundreds of small and medium-sized sects to jointly form the "Qingyun Alliance", and the main task of the Qingyun Alliance is to mediate the conflicts of all parties and promote the recovery and development of spiritual resources in the Qingyun Great World.

The various sects encouraged the entire cultivation realm to vigorously cultivate spirit plants and breed spirit beasts and other production activities, for this reason, they did not hesitate to come up with a lot of basic cultivation exercises and cultivation and breeding spells to spread widely, in the process of recuperation, the Qingyun Great World gradually formed the current pattern.

Although in the past tens of thousands of years, there have often been incidents of slaughtering sects and destroying the family, and the matter of killing people and seizing treasures is even more endless.

However, with the various production activities of human beings and the orderly output of all kinds of spiritual objects, occasionally the major sects will gather various forces to explore and conquer the wilderness or sea outside the human living area, and obtain all kinds of rare cultivation resources.

At the same time, the major sects in their spheres of influence have also invested a lot of supervision forces, and the human cultivation area in the Qingyun Great World finally has a relatively stable order.

The Xuanshan faction, which controls the Xuanshan Kingdom, has mediocre strength and limited reputation in the "Qingyun Alliance", and it has only been thousands of years since the opening of the mountain gate.

There are dozens of different levels of spiritual veins in Xuanshan Country, except for the Xuanshan Sect that occupies the best few, the rest nominally belong to dozens of Xiuzhen families in Xuanshan Country.

As the most important resource in the cultivation world, the spiritual vein is divided into two kinds: congenital and acquired, the innate spiritual vein is the spiritual energy of heaven and earth deposited in a special geological transformation for hundreds of millions of years, although it constantly exudes spiritual energy to the outside but has also been absorbed and supplemented through the leyline, as long as it is not artificially overabsorbed by special means, it will maintain a relative balance, and continuously provide the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

The acquired spiritual vein is that the monk uses the heavenly materials and earth treasures to arrange the corresponding formation to gather the spiritual energy, this kind of spiritual vein construction and maintenance consumes a lot of resources, and it is difficult to last, and there are generally few forces in the cultivation world today except for special circumstances.

The spiritual veins are divided into upper, middle, and lower levels according to the intensity of the aura, and are roughly divided into three types: large, medium, and small according to the area.

The high-grade spiritual veins are sufficient to meet the cultivation of the Yuanying monks, the medium spiritual veins are sufficient to meet the cultivation of the Jindan monks, and the low-grade spiritual veins are sufficient to meet the cultivation of the monks at and below the foundation level.

The large-scale spiritual veins occupy a hundred miles of land, and the middle-to-upper-grade large-scale spiritual veins are generally the sect stations of the major and medium-sized cultivation forces, and the low-level large-scale spiritual veins are generally also the breeding bases of the sects.

Small and medium-sized spiritual veins occupy a circle of miles to tens of miles, and the middle and upper class are also occupied by small and medium-sized sects, and the remaining small and middle-class spiritual veins are basically developed and operated by Xiuzhen families of all sizes.

There are often several spiritual eyes in the spiritual vein, this spiritual eye is the concentration point of the spiritual vein to emit aura, although the spiritual energy that seeps out of the spiritual eye will naturally diffuse in all directions, even if the formation is laid out, it can not be completely isolated, and it can only slow down the speed of diffusion slightly, but the spiritual energy at the spiritual eye is undoubtedly the thickest and most active, and the effect of the monk absorbing and refining is also the best.

The rich aura has a very important role in improving the speed of cultivation, a monk cultivating at the spiritual eye for one year can be worth cultivating in the spiritual vein outside the spiritual eye for three or five years, because the number of spiritual eyes in each spiritual vein is limited, and it is generally the core person of the sect or family who has the right to enjoy it.

Corresponding to the spirit vein, there is also a spirit stone vein, which is the same as the spirit vein, which is deposited by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for hundreds of millions of years, but unlike the spirit vein, the spirit stone vein has a spar that can absorb the spiritual energy. After this kind of spar is mined, it will be the universal currency in the cultivation realm - spirit stone.

The spirit stone is divided into upper, middle and lower grades according to the purity of the spiritual energy it contains, and the lower grade spirit stone has low transparency and contains flocculent or dotted impurities.

The transparency of the medium-grade spirit stone is slightly higher, and it is warm and moist without obvious flaws.

The high-grade spirit stones are transparent and glazed and frozen, and the exchange ratio of the spirit stones of each grade is one to hundred, but the upper and lower grade spirit stones on the market can rarely be exchanged for the middle and upper grade spirit stones.

It is much faster for a monk to use spirit stones to assist in cultivation than to directly absorb and refine the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

With sufficient spirit stones to replenish, the cultivation speed can be increased by three or four layers, and the middle and upper grade spirit stones can also be used to break through bottlenecks, which are the treasures that monks at all levels dream of.

The spirit stone is also a necessity for setting up formations and driving some special equipment, and the prosperity of the cultivation realm is inseparable from the merit of the spirit stone, which is the consensus of every monk.

However, after countless years of mining and consumption, the natural spirit stone mine is almost extinct in the current cultivation realm.

Fortunately, the waste spirit stones that have been consumed by the spiritual energy will slowly absorb the free heaven and earth spiritual energy, but the time required for this process is very long, depending on the richness of the spiritual energy for thousands of years to tens of thousands of years.

The reserve and accumulation of waste spirit stones is the foundation of each sect, and the fang markets of each sect have shops that recycle waste spirit stones, and the recycling ratio of waste spirit stones is one hundred to one, that is, one hundred waste spirit stones are exchanged for one spirit stone.

The recovered waste spirit stone sect is often placed in the core of the sect's station, and then arranged a large spirit gathering array and guardian formation, as far as possible to make the environment where the waste spirit stone is located rich aura and reduce the time of adsorption, through such an orderly operation, the circulation and consumption of spirit stones in the cultivation world can reach a balance, and the price of various cultivation resources will be stable for a long time.
