Thinking of this, Hu Jian sat cross-legged, put his hands on his laps naturally, closed his eyes, and followed the method in the wood spirit recipe to relax his mind, try to feel the aura between heaven and earth, and achieve the first step of inducing qi into the body. The first step of cultivation is naturally to feel the aura between heaven and earth, guide the aura from the palms of the hands and feet into the twelve meridians, carry out a weekly cycle, and then converge in the central channel in the chest, and then sink into the dantian from the central channel.

In the process of absorbing the aura, due to the turbidity in the meridians blocking the meridians, only a very small amount of aura, and with the process of operation, the turbidity will be slowly squeezed out of the body by the aura, and the meridians will become more and more smooth, and the body will naturally improve, and basically every cultivator will never have the pain of illness.

For a long time, Hu Jian's brows furrowed deeply, as soon as he tried to put himself in an ethereal state as mentioned in the Mu Ling Jue, he would think of his parents, and he didn't know what kind of risks his parents would encounter outside, and he couldn't calm down at all, where to calm down and feel the so-called indescribable aura.

Slowly, Hu Jian opened his eyes, sighed heavily, and shook his head secretly, "No, my parents just left, and my mind is full of their affairs, so I still can't calm down, so I can only wait." ”

Of course, Hu Jian has another layer of hidden worries in his heart, whether the quality of his spiritual root is too poor or even has no spiritual root, and he can't feel the existence of spiritual energy at all...

Hu Jian slowly lay on the bed, thinking about the various times he spent with his parents, his thoughts flew around, and all kinds of chaotic thoughts poured into his mind.

I don't know how long it took, Hu Jian only felt that his eyes were extremely dry and his eyelids were very heavy, so he forced himself to calm down and slowly fell asleep...

Early the next morning, the sun slowly peeked out from the east side of the mountain, the smoke rose from the chimneys of the houses in the village, and the villagers at the entrance of the village greeted each other, and the life in the village was very quiet and peaceful.

Two hours later, Xiaobai lay on Hu Jian's face and teased Hu Jian's eyelids. Hu Jian also woke up from his sleep, touched Xiaobai's head, rubbed his eyes and walked out of the door.

Xiaobai scratched his head, looking at Hu Jian's eyes flashed with a hint of anthropomorphic stunnedness, Hu Jian used to play with himself for a while when he got up every morning, why today...

In the inner courtyard, Xiaocui was still wearing a floral skirt, fetching water by the well in the courtyard, with a few crystal beads of sweat on her forehead. Hu Jian took a breath, his tightly knit brows furrowed, and said to Xiao Cui, "Morning, Sister Xiao Cui." ”

Xiaocui only noticed Hu Jian at this time, her eyebrows and eyes spread, and she said with a smile, "You got up late today, and breakfast was left on the table for you, by the way, Grandpa Zhang said that the old lady had something to go out for, and went out early in the morning, seeing that you slept soundly, he didn't say hello to you..."

"yes, I see." Hu Jian's brows furrowed slightly, and yesterday's scenes came to mind.

He shook his head, threw these thoughts out of his mind, then turned and walked towards the main house, looked at the porridge and steamed buns on the table, ate them hastily, and walked to the outer courtyard.

Hu Jian's house resembles a courtyard house, except for a mountain behind it, the other three sides are houses, there is a small courtyard in the middle of the three houses, stacked with firewood and other miscellaneous items, in the middle of the small courtyard is a well, and there is a rather spacious compound outside the main house.

Hu Jian stood at the door, and there was a three-person tall willow tree in the yard, the thickness of a bucket...

Grandpa Zhang was sitting on a stone bench under the willow tree, his eyes looking in the direction of the entrance of the village, and his mouth spit out big smoke rings from time to time.

I don't know if it's a psychological effect, Hu Jian felt that Grandpa Zhang looked a little lonely, and even his waist was faintly not as straight as usual.

"You're up, sir, they..." Grandpa Zhang didn't look back, and was about to tell Hu Jian, Hu Zhong, and Zhao Ling about going away.

"Well, Sister Xiaocui told me, I already know. ”

Hu Jian sat on the stone bench next to Grandpa Zhang, looking at the entrance of the village, while Xiaobai climbed the willow tree on the heads of the two and swinged.

"Grandpa Zhang, what is the outside world like?"

Grandpa Zhang was slightly stunned, puzzled in his heart, Hu Jian would ask Hu Zhong every time when they would come back, and he didn't ask today, but he thought of Hu Zhong and Zhao Ling and they had been going out a lot recently, Hu Jian might have gotten used to it, and his mouth was holding the cigarette holder again.

"The outside world is very big" Grandpa Zhang paused, "It's also very complicated, it's deceitful, and it's full of demon beasts, poisonous beasts, and even more powerful sea beasts on the seaside, it's not as simple as Qingcun, it's dangerous." ”

"I want to hear it, Grandpa Zhang, can you tell me?" Hu Jian turned his head.

At this time, Grandpa Zhang also turned around, I don't know if it was an illusion, he felt that Hu Jian's face was childish, and he seemed to have matured a lot overnight.

He picked up the big pipe, took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled the cigarette, looking into the distance, his face was a little complicated, "The outside world ......"

Donglin Continent, Donglin is vast, hundreds of millions of miles, the entire continent is full of demon beasts, poisonous beasts are rampant, and even more terrifying sea beasts are attacking on the seaside. And the easternmost part of the Donglin is a dense primeval forest called the Beast Forest, the forest is boundless, and it is full of all kinds of powerful demon beasts, the deeper the forest, the more powerful the demon beasts are, and no one can go to the end of the forest.

And the westernmost and southernmost is a boundless sea, called the West Sea and the South China Sea respectively, the sea is also full of all kinds, strange appearance of powerful sea beasts, more powerful than the monster beasts, and the sea is full of clouds and mist all the year round, once the ship enters will be lost, can not come back at all.

And the northern end of the continent is a primitive swamp called the poisonous mountain, the swamp is full of poisonous insects and ants, there is a fog all the year round, there is a very heavy poisonous gas in the fog, people are fine in the shallow, but once they go deep into the swamp, without the invasion of poisonous insects and poisonous beasts, the poisonous gas in the swamp is enough to make people dizzy, poisoned to death, and be eaten by the poisonous insects in the poisonous forest, and even the bones can not be left.

The Donglin Continent is very large, from the easternmost primeval forest beast forest to the westernmost West Sea, it is difficult for ordinary people to finish in their lifetime, even if there are no demon beasts on the road, it is estimated that they will die before they have reached a small half.

The interior of the Donglin Continent is also dangerous, and the wild land of the home of the country is full of demon beasts and poisonous beasts, although the danger level is not as good as that of the beast forest, poison Ze, the West Sea and the East China Sea, but it is also extremely dangerous, even if the legendary Jindan monk is not careful, he will die tragically in it. Although the demon beasts in it are not as boundless as the beast forest, the number is also thousands, such as the wild continent between the Yun country and the neighboring Sai country, it is said that there is a level 6 demon beast cloud-winged bird inside, which can open mountains and crack rivers, and a flap of wings, that is, there is no hair left that can be blown in a town, which is terrible and abnormal.

On the Donglin Continent, when only cultivators were guarded, the human race could only retreat in the land of projectiles, and worry about the demon beasts all over the surrounding area every day. But since millions of years ago, with the rise of poison cultivation, insect cultivation, and beast cultivation, countless large and small countries began to appear, and these countries were all guarded by giant fortresses in the east, west, north and south, and the domestic demon beasts were almost slaughtered, and the human race began to rise from then on, and life was much better.

And Hu Jian's location is the easternmost part of the Donglin Continent, close to the Beast Forest, a small country called Yun Kingdom. There are four giant fortresses in the east, west, north and south of Yunguo, and in the middle is the imperial city of Yuncheng. It is only relatively said that Yun is a small country, and it covers an area of nearly 10 million square kilometers, and to the east of it, a giant fortress named Citygate is next to the beast forest. Because of this, Citygate often has monsters flowing out of the beast forest, slaughtering the village and eating human flesh, often causing a catastrophe.

Although the army guards, and even the Yun country also has the assistance of the cultivation sect, but the area of the beast forest is too large, and the demon beasts are incomparably strange, if it were not for the help of the Danube, Citygate only needs to protect an area in the lower reaches of the Danube, and the Yun country is estimated to have broken the country long ago. But even so, Citygate was still very difficult to defend, and every year a large number of soldiers and cultivators died tragically under the boundless tide of beasts.

Hu Jian's village belongs to Citygate, but it is a village in the southwest, and there are Citygate and two small towns in the middle, which are 1,500 miles away, close to Yuncheng, but it is also safe, and there are very few monsters in comparison, for example, the most recent monster plague in Qingcun was more than 40 years ago.

Hu Jian's eyes were shocked, and he gently rubbed his temples, as if digesting the information he had just received.

"Grandpa Zhang, is it difficult to cultivate the Tao?" Hu Jian thought for a while and asked.

"Well, the quality of a person's spiritual root basically determines a person's cultivation achievements, and the quality of the spiritual root is divided into inferior, medium, and superior, the earth spirit root and the heavenly spirit root, and it is rumored that as long as the cultivator of the heavenly spirit root does not die young, he can go directly to the foundation building realm and enter the door of the immortal cultivator.

And no one has ever been able to build a foundation successfully, and the highest is only to reach the cultivation of the sixth layer of Qi training, and the medium may only have a glimmer of hope for success in building a foundation, but reaching the foundation building is the end of cultivation, and in the end it is still a piece of loess. ”

"Doesn't that mean that if you don't have a spiritual root, or if the spiritual root is not good, then you must not be able to become stronger?" Hu Jian's face became a little pale, and his voice trembled slightly.

"Theoretically, this is the case, but how can the road of cultivating immortals be so simple, there are very few people who can really reach the Jindan Avenue and become a strong person, and as long as the Jindan period is below, the cultivators who have advanced cultivation can also compete with it, the power of their awakened bloodlines is strong, the power is infinite, and they have the terrifying speed and strength of demon beasts, they can easily break through the monk's body protection spirit shield, and blast the head of the demon beast with one punch, which is also very terrifying. ”

"Then the alchemy technique is so powerful, why can't it compete with the powerhouses above the Jindan stage?" Hu Jian heard the strength of the refiner, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.

"Alchemy is known as the art of barbarianism, and the end point is in the Martial Saint Realm, and the Jindan period can split mountains and split the ground, far stronger than the strong people in the Martial Saint Realm, and even above the Jindan period, it is said that there is the legendary Yuan Infant Stage, and the life can be as long as two thousand years. Grandpa Zhang stood up and took a puff on his cigarette.

"Barbarian art?" Hu Jian's face showed a hint of doubt, as if he didn't understand very well.

"After the Martial Saint is the Martial Madness Realm, throughout the ages, there are also a few geniuses, but soon after the breakthrough, their temperament changed greatly, and in the end, they became bloodthirsty and abnormal like demon beasts, and they were all killed by the people of the Donglin Continent. Grandpa Zhang's face showed a hint of silence.

"However, there are too few monks in the Jindan period, and there is not one in ten thousand, so it can also be said that the body cultivators can compete with the cultivators, but if they are really strong enough to protect the Winter Forest Continent, only the cultivators can do it. Zhang Guang said softly.

"Is that Grandpa Zhang a cultivator?" Hu Jian stared at Grandpa Zhang tightly.

"How can I have that fate, I just learned some alchemy and have brute strength, but now I'm also an old man who is about to enter the coffin. Grandpa Zhang smiled self-deprecatingly.

"Grandpa Zhang, can you teach me alchemy?" Hu Jian suddenly changed his words.

In fact, Hu Jian already had this idea in his heart, the probability that he could not cultivate was very high, and when he heard Grandpa Zhang's words, the alchemy technique could be as powerful as a fight, although it could not compete with the great cultivators of the Jindan Dao, but it was also very powerful, and he couldn't help but have the idea of practicing the alchemy technique.

Grandpa Zhang took a puff of cigarette, smoked half of it, looked at Hu Jian in surprise, looked at the solemn expression on Hu Jian's face, and couldn't help but swallow back the words that were originally joking.

Grandpa Zhang's eyes rolled, and he pondered for a moment before he spoke, "Alchemy is not fun, and it has to endure a lot of hardships, are you sure you want to practice?"

"I'm sure. "Three simple words, Hu Jian said it was extremely sonorous and powerful.

"Well, if you really want to practice, then I'll teach you. Grandpa Zhang listened to Hu Jian's words and replied.

His idea is very simple, to strengthen the body, and some means of saving life must be a good thing.
