Cultivating immortals is extremely time-consuming.

There are four levels in the Spiritual Silence Realm, and each layer requires a lot of time to cultivate.

The first layer takes three to five years, the second layer is more time-consuming, five to seven years, and the third and fourth layers take more than ten years of cultivation.

Of course, the time taken for each layer varies from person to person, which is inseparable from qualifications, environment, and some external forces and luck.

In addition to time, the biggest hurdle is the bottleneck. Every layer of bottlenecks in the Spiritual Silence Realm is extremely difficult to break through, and even some monks do not use the spirit pill or other external means to never break through.

This has caused countless monks to become discouraged and happy to be comfortable, so that they have been stuck in a certain realm.

Thinking of the difficulty of the Immortal Dao, Shen Yun secretly sighed, although the aura of Shangling Peak was more abundant than that of Old Demon Ridge, but after entering the Spiritual Silence Realm, the progress was like a snail crawling.

"With this qualification, I'm afraid that I can only wander in the spiritual realm for the rest of my life. In the attic, Shen Yun muttered to himself and walked to Xue Ling at the end of the bed.

This small building is located in Shangling Peak, and it is a two-storey brown nanmu attic, facing south and facing north.

The courtyard in front of the attic, about six or seven zhang in length and width, the west side is against the mountain, there is a small oval pool, which is dotted with several rockeries, the mountains and rivers continue to roll down, and there is a crisp "ding dong" sound.

A tall ancient locust tree on the side rises from the ground and stands towering to the sky, with a wide canopy that blocks direct sunlight.

On the right is a dark red octagonal pavilion, where two cardamom girls are leaning on the pavilion railing and chatting with melon seeds. In the whole courtyard, strange flowers and plants can be seen everywhere, which looks vibrant, and there is a trace of fragrance.

Suddenly, a delicate girl on the pavilion chair stood up abruptly and exclaimed, "Ah, it's almost time, I'm going to invite Shen to eat." ”

When the other girl heard this, she immediately poked her head out to look at the sun, nodded like a chicken pecking, and said, "You go quickly, I'm going to clean up the room." ”

The pretty girl answered the call and ran to the attic door. It just so happened that Shen Yun opened the door and was about to come out.

"Shen worship, it's time for lunch. "The girl is blessed.

"Got it. Shen Yun smiled and nodded in response, and walked towards the courtyard gate as he spoke.

"Chirp. Hearing the lunch, Xue Ling in her sleeve pocket jumped on Shen Yun's shoulder, which was also her lunch time.

Meal time is the time to clean the courtyard attic, this is the rule of the immortal cultivation family, usually unless there is an emergency, usually will not disturb, this point makes Shen Yun particularly satisfied.

As soon as they entered the restaurant, Shi Qiulan's sister and brother also arrived at the same time.

"Miss Shi, Brother Shi is good!"

"Brother Shen!"

"Brother Shen!"

"Chirp!"

"Hehe, Xue Ling!"

The three of them greeted each other and sat down in their seats.

Before the meal arrived, the maid served tea and fruit snacks first.

Most immortal cultivators are pure-hearted and have few desires, Shi Qiulan generally only eats some fruits and hardly eats food, Shi Jin is more greedy, while Shen Yun and Xue Ling are more greedy.

For this reason, Shi Qiulan had to make special arrangements, two exquisite meals a day, of course, the most polished is Shi Jin, you can eat and drink every day, and you don't have to worry about her sister talking about him.

"Brother Shen has been reading classics these days, can you gain anything?" Shi Qiulan took a sip of tea and asked with a smile.

"Alas, in addition to finding the source of those two prohibitions, I saw several amazing monsters. Shen Yun smiled bitterly.

Sister and brother Shi Qiulan immediately laughed when they heard this.

As an offering, Shen Yun has the right to read most of the classics, and he has also read a lot during this time, but almost all of them are the experiences of the predecessors of the Shi family, and some unbelievable things have been recorded.

For example, a senior once saw a huge snake-shaped demon beast, in addition to the spikes like silver shining spears on its head, it is said that the snake demon has a large mouth, and the poisonous mist that spews out can be smelled ten miles away, and it can easily swallow a giant elephant in one bite and so on.

In addition, there is not much elaboration on the skill of cultivating immortals.

"It's the Breaking Formation Forbidden and Breaking the Sky Technique, right?" Shi Qiulan thought for a moment, saw Shen Yun nodding, and then smiled, "It seems to be the result of a Linglan Realm ancestor's travels. ”

"It is recorded in the genealogy that after the ancestor came back, he only learned to break the formation forbidden, and did not learn the secret of breaking the void. ”

Shen Yun suddenly realized, no wonder there was a detailed explanation and experience record for breaking the formation, and there was no description for breaking the void.

At this time, the food was already ready, and when she smelled the meat, Xue Ling cheered and munched on her desk.

Shi Jin didn't pay attention to them, and also buried his head in eating.

Shen Yun tasted it and saw that Shi Qiulan only drank tea, so he took the opportunity to ask the question in his heart: "There are still some immortal cultivation skills, and I have only read some rough introductions below, but for some reason, I almost didn't see any learning methods?"

Any monk is inseparable from the miscellaneous science of cultivating immortals, some of which can make immortal cultivators improve their cultivation efficiency, and some can improve the combat power of immortal cultivators, etc., each with its own merits. It's a pity that the Shi family's classics are only briefly mentioned, such as the spirit wine technique, which is only said to be the skill of brewing spirit wine, and spirit wine can quickly replenish mana. There are no brewing materials, recipes, etc.

Shi Qiulan put down the cup, nodded and sighed, "Yes, many cultivators in the skill family who have never been proficient have left no detailed records. ”

Shen Yun nodded lightly.

"Most of the immortal cultivation skills are amazing, like the beast control technique, it is naturally good to cultivate a spirit beast with strong combat power to assist in combat, but it is a pity that it takes time and effort to cultivate, and it is difficult for spirit beasts to be promoted to cultivation, and the strength is not strong, and the gains almost outweigh the losses. ”

Shi Qiulan glanced at Xue Ling as she said and asked, "The beast control technique needs to arrange a special magic circle to recognize the master, shouldn't Xue Ling?"

"Definitely not," Shen Yun shook his head like a rattle, "I don't know what the Beast Array is." ”

"Chirp. Seeing that he was mentioned, Xue Ling got rid of the temptation of food, raised his head, called out, and saw that no one paid attention to it, so he lowered his head and continued.

"Hehe, if Brother Shen wants to find the Imperial Beast Array, Little Sister can help. ”

"Forget it, let's let Xue Ling be a little free. Shen Yun glanced at the little fox with a big palm, shook his head and smiled. He and Xue Ling depended on each other, and he didn't want to restrain her with any confession.

Shi Qiulan didn't care, in her eyes, this greedy little fox was not like a spirit animal, but more like a pet, and muttered: "My Shi family's classics, there are only the four major immortal cultivation skills recorded in more detail, if Brother Shen is interested, I will copy it to you later." ”

"Oh, which four?" Shen Yungang sniffed the aroma of meat in front of him and was about to start eating, but turned his head again when he heard the words.

Shi Qiulan didn't eat at all, and said, "In addition to the alchemy and formation copied to you, there are two more. As he spoke, he stretched out a finger like an onion, and then began to speak.

The first is alchemy, also known as the way of instruments!

The so-called refining weapon is a means of refining all kinds of heavenly and earthly treasures, supplemented by earth fire or monk's real fire, into magic weapons. Most of the magic weapons in this world are refined by refiners, but there are exceptions.

Some magic weapons are generated in the body of demon beasts, while others are naturally generated by heaven and earth, and they can be used directly when they are taken. Of course, these two types of special magic weapons are rare to see, and only exist in legends.

"The Shi family has never produced a refiner for so many years. Shi Qiulan sighed lightly.

"Oh, is it difficult to refine weapons?" Shen Yun's eyes showed curiosity, but he was thinking in his heart that his refining talent would be as good as a formation?

Shi Qiulan shook her head, her face was bitter: "It's just difficult, the most important thing is that alchemy is extremely expensive, and if you don't have enough financial resources, you can't train a refiner at all, and none of those materials are valuable." ”

"In addition, most refiners can only refine ordinary magic weapons such as flying swords. This kind of magic weapon has been precipitated and accumulated for countless years, resulting in an extremely large number and a very low price, and only two or three spirit stones are enough to buy. ”

Shen Yun was surprised, the magic weapon was so cheap?

"Actually, this spirit stone, you can't even buy the materials for refining magic weapons, but you can buy a flying sword back. ”

It costs a lot of money to train a refiner, but the benefit is almost non-existent, so most families no longer train refiners, and even the Xiong family does not have a special refiner.

If you need a magic weapon, just go and buy it.

In fact, most of the treasure troves of immortal cultivators have stored many spare magic weapons, which are either occasionally obtained by the ancestors when they travel abroad, or they are obtained through trading.

"Hehe, I can't afford to learn ...... either" Shen Yun sighed in his heart and laughed dryly.

Shi Qiulan also chuckled, learning alchemy is indeed a pearl.
