Chapter 1 Wang Changsheng
"Alas!"
A sixteen or seventeen-year-old young man, with ordinary facial features and slightly pale skin, sat cross-legged on the bed, his face full of disappointment, this was already his 391st failure, even if Wang Changsheng was mentally tough, he was surrounded by depression and despair at this time.
"Could it be that you will be stuck in the fourth layer of qi refining for the rest of your life?" the young man smiled self-deprecatingly.
Wang Changsheng clenched his fists, his nails digging deep into his palms, and he didn't feel any pain at all.
Wang Changsheng is sixteen years old this year, he comes from a small immortal cultivation family, and there is a foundation building master in the clan, which is many times better than those wandering scattered cultivators.
The foundation building ancestor in the clan has been in retreat and cultivation all the year round, rarely showing up, and the big and small affairs of the clan have been handed over to the patriarch to deal with, and Wang Changsheng, as the only son of the patriarch Wang Mingyuan, has been favored since he was a child, and his peers have taken good care of him.
At the age of five, Wang Changsheng, like a child with a spiritual root in the clan, began to cultivate under the guidance of a clan elder and began his path of cultivating immortals.
Because he is the son of the patriarch, Wang Changsheng's words and deeds have attracted much attention, and he also understands this, and he has always been very diligent in his cultivation, in order not to leave a handle for others.
When he was seven years old, Wang Changsheng cultivated to the third level of qi refining, and other peers were generally at the first level of qi refining, this cultivation speed made the clan elders in the clan very optimistic about him, and his peers were also very in awe of this young patriarch, but what people didn't expect was that since the fight,
Wang Changsheng's cultivation stopped, and he was stuck in the third layer of qi refining.
When he was eleven years old, when the clansmen who had started cultivating at the same time entered the fourth or even fifth layer of qi refining, Wang Changsheng was still wandering in the third layer of qi refining, Wang Changsheng's father Wang Mingyuan was so anxious that he used his own savings to buy some pills to enhance mana for his son, and after taking these pills, Wang Changsheng
Successfully advanced to the fourth layer of gas refining.
However, after entering the fourth layer of qi refining, whether it was taking a panacea or blindly cultivating asceticly, Wang Changsheng stayed in the fourth layer of qi refining, and Wang Mingyuan, who loved his son, used the power of the patriarch to invite the ancestor of the foundation to check for Wang Changsheng, and the ancestor of the foundation did not find anything wrong, but asked Wang Changsheng not to slack off,
Work hard to cultivate.
Regarding the words of the ancestor of the foundation building, Wang Changsheng was convinced that others cultivated for five hours a day, and he cultivated for ten hours, but even so, the situation did not improve, he was still stuck in the fourth layer of qi refining, and this card was five years.
The clansmen who started cultivating together, the highest cultivation had reached the eighth level of qi refining, and the lowest had also reached the fourth level of qi refining, because the cultivation had been stagnant, everyone's eyes on the young patriarch gradually changed, from the initial awe to disdain, and some even made sneering remarks.
Wang Changsheng is just a teenager, where can he listen to the cynicism of others, so he made an appointment with a clansman who is not disrespectful, because he is the son of the patriarch, this exchange is particularly eye-catching, and even many clansmen put down their cultivation and went to the martial arts arena to watch the two fight.
The ideal is very beautiful, the reality is very cruel, three moves, the other party just used three moves, and easily defeated Wang Changsheng, and humiliated Wang Changsheng fiercely in front of everyone, since the fight, Wang Changsheng rarely appeared in front of other clansmen, even the food was sent to the room by the servants, and he was doing penance in the room.
Every time he cultivated for a period of time, Wang Changsheng would try to rush through the level, he obviously felt that he was a little short of the fifth layer of qi refining, but these faint gaps were like a huge chasm, no matter how hard Wang Changsheng tried, he couldn't cross the past.
"Is it really unsuitable for cultivating immortals?" At this moment, Mo Fan's cultivation heart was a little shaken, but when he looked up and saw a portrait hanging on the opposite side of the bed, this idea was quickly denied by him.
On the portrait, a girl with a beautiful face, dressed in a cyan palace dress, with a cyan hairpin on her head, looks ahead with a smile on her face.
The woman in the portrait is Wang Changsheng's mother - Liu Qing'er, Liu Qing'er is a casual cultivator, Wang Changsheng's father rescued Liu Qing'er when he went out on a certain time, and the two became acquainted, and finally achieved positive results and gave birth to Wang Changsheng.
It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, Wang Changsheng's mother gave birth to him not long ago, because of his weak physique and passed away, no panacea can save her life, before dying, she named her son Changsheng, hoping that his son will live a long life and grow up healthy and healthy, it can be said that Liu Qinger used his life to fulfill Wang Changsheng.
Wang Changsheng heard his father say that his mother's biggest long-cherished wish before her death was to become an immortal and live forever, which was his mother's long-cherished wish and his father's expectation of himself.
If he gave up cultivating immortals after failing three hundred and ninety-one times, how would he face his mother, who had passed away for many years, Wang Changsheng shook his head, got rid of the distracting thoughts in his heart, and his heart of cultivation became stronger and stronger.
The land refers to the place of cultivation, Wang Changsheng's family occupies several miles of spiritual veins, as a young patriarch, his residence is naturally built on the spiritual vein, and it is still possible to use it for meditation and practice;
There are still complete Five Elements exercises, accumulated over the years, and there are a lot of cultivation experiences for each attribute exercise; couples, refers to fellow practitioners, Taoist friends, and the clan holds gatherings to exchange cultivation experiences from time to time, in addition, the family has built a teaching hall, and the elders of the clan preach to teach and solve doubts for the young clansmen; when it comes to wealth, the Wang family is just a small family of cultivating immortals,
Not to mention Ningzhou, even in Yueyang County, it is not ranked, in addition to the reason that there are no high-level monks in charge, poverty is also one of the factors.
For those who do not have spiritual roots, it is not a problem to grow some food on the outskirts of the mountains and go into the mountains to hunt and feed themselves.
Immortal cultivators are different, all the expenses of immortal cultivators need spirit stones, in order to maintain the normal operation of the family, in addition to planting some Linggu elixirs with a short growth cycle, the Wang family also opened a shop in a Dafang City five hundred miles away to buy and sell some talisman refining materials, but even so, the income is still far lower than the expenditure,
In order to maintain the normal operation of the family, the patriarch Wang Mingyuan reduced his expenses and reduced the spirit stones distributed to the clansmen every month.
Of course, according to the level of cultivation, the spirit stones obtained are also different, people below the fifth level of qi refining can get one spirit stone per month, from the fifth layer of qi refining to the eighth layer of qi refining, two spirit stones per month from the fifth layer of qi refining to the eighth layer of qi refining, and four spirit stones per month above the eighth layer of qi refining.
Because of this practice, it has aroused the dissatisfaction of some clansmen, but because of Wang Mingyuan's prestige for many years, they only dare to discuss it in private.
As the son of the patriarch, Wang Changsheng naturally had to take the lead, and because of this, in addition to some necessary expenses, after so many years of accumulation, he only had more than twenty spirit stones, and a Qi refining disperse suitable for a Qi Refining Period cultivator would cost three spirit stones, not to mention other immortal cultivation resources.
Wang Changsheng summed it up, and found that what his mother lacked the most was wealth, when he was stuck in the third layer of qi refining, he relied on his father's financial resources to buy elixir to enter the fourth layer of qi refining, and now it seems that he stayed in the fourth layer of qi refining, most likely because of the lack of spirit stones.
It's easy to spend money, it's hard to make money, there are many ways to earn spirit stones, the easiest and safest is to plant the spirit valley elixir, but the only few acres of spirit fields in the clan have already been planted with all kinds of spirit valley elixirs, and they won't be rented to others at all, in addition to planting elixirs, there are also a lot of elixirs from the last year in the deep mountains and old forests, but this idea was quickly vetoed by Wang Changsheng, and most of the elixirs in the deep mountains and old forests are guarded by demon beasts,
If you want to grab food, it is tantamount to looking for death.
As for alchemy and refining, these two professions are very popular, but they are all smashed out with a lot of spirit stones, only those immortal cultivators and immortal cultivators can cultivate them, and the Wang family has been in the clan for hundreds of years, and there is not even an alchemist or refiner in the clan, not to mention that Wang Changsheng is self-taught, even if he is the strength of the whole clan, he may not be able to cultivate it, not to mention, what qualifications does he have now that his family is worthy of him
He wasted resources, if it weren't for his father being the patriarch, it was estimated that he wouldn't even be given a spirit stone every month.
As for opening a store to sell goods, Wang Changsheng couldn't even think of it, with the little spirit stone in his hand, even the annual rent was not enough, let alone the purchase.
After thinking about it for more than half an hour, Wang Changsheng didn't come up with any good career for himself, if he remembered correctly, tomorrow is the day when the Conferral Hall will start speaking, in addition to answering questions about cultivation, the Conferral Hall will also teach some ways to earn spirit stones, just to take a look, think about this, Wang Changsheng closed his eyes and practiced the main practice "Ruijin Jue".
