For three days in a row, Shen Yun was mainly in a hurry, and only occasionally saw herbs that he would stop for a while.

The most annoying thing is sleeping in the wilderness, always feeling in the dark, as if something is peeping at me, and the whining cold wind is like a hundred ghosts crying at night, which makes people shudder.

I had the courage to go over and take a look, but there was nothing, so I nervously ran back to the campfire and added some firewood to make the flame burn more vigorously, which felt a little better.

Finally, on the morning of the fourth day, Shen Yun came to the Baishui River.

The water of the river is clear and flowing.

"Do you want to go over?" looked at the old demon ridge on the other bank, frowning.

Although I don't believe that there are monsters, I still feel furious when I think of those lonely beasts.

The sky was overcast, and it looked like it was raining at any time.

"If it rains and the river rises, it's even harder. ”

The current water level is very low, so I guess you can take off your shoes and roll up your trousers to wade through. Shen Yun walked back and forth, unable to decide. However, in the end, the temptation of faster cultivation and easier breakthrough of bottlenecks prevailed over reason.

"Let's go over and take a look first, and return if the aura is not so sufficient. ”

Make up your mind and start taking off your shoes. Stepping barefoot on the river beach, the pebbles under his feet came with a burst of coolness, and he carried his luggage and slowly entered the water.

"Shhh Shen Yun gasped, the river water was cold and biting, and he shouted, walking along the riverbed, step by step to the opposite bank.

After crossing the river, my face was white from the cold, and I shivered and put on my shoes and socks, and jumped on the spot, only then did I feel a little warmer.

Turning his gaze to the north, you can see the lofty mountains and mountains everywhere, the strange rocks are craggy, and the roar of the tiger and the ape is faintly heard. Shen Yun was beating a drum in his heart, and he almost wanted to turn around and leave.

Take a deep breath and look of amazement.

As expected, as soon as I crossed the river, I obviously felt that the aura of heaven and earth here was more abundant than that on the other side.

Shen Yun's face was cloudy, half loud, and he snorted coldly: "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get the tiger." ”

Gritted his teeth, strapped his luggage, and walked forward.

In just a few steps, I was pleasantly surprised to find a codonopsis, and hurriedly took out the medicine shovel and dug it up.

"It seems that there are few people here, and there should be a lot of medicinal herbs. Shen Yun's eyes narrowed slightly, which could be regarded as a surprise.

As time passed, the sky cleared again, and the sun smiled.

At this moment, Shen Yun sat on a smooth big bluestone with a smile on his face, wandering out of the world.

There was a crisp dingdong sound from the mountain spring not far away, and if you pay a little attention, you will find that there is a hole the size of a door facing south behind him.

If you look far away to the south, you can still see the white ribbon-like Baishui River from afar.

What Shen Yun didn't expect was that there were actually a lot of natural karst caves in the Old Demon Ridge, and in less than an hour, he found three, and the one behind him was exactly what he chose to stay in.

The inside of this cave is very spacious, with a length and width of more than five zhang, and a height of more than one zhang, like a small room.

Sunlight enters through the natural breeze**, so that the cave does not appear dark.

There is actually a small cave in the depths of this cave, but the entrance is very narrow, only one person is allowed to climb into, and the torch is illuminated, the inside is dark and bottomless, and the cold wind blows from time to time, and the torch blows and stabs, and there is no cave inside.

The whole cave is warm and dry, sheltered from the wind and rain, and is perfect for an overnight stay.

"Decided to come back every night for a stay in the future. ”

As he spoke, Shen Yun jumped down from the big bluestone, took out the firewood knife and began to get busy.

First I found some shrubs to cover up the entrance to the cave, camouflaged it, and then made a rudimentary rattan gate, and finally brought in a few large stones to seal the small hole inside.

In this way, a warm and cozy nest is well furnished.

Few people have set foot in the Old Demon Ridge, wild small animals can be seen everywhere, and medicinal materials grow intensively.

Of course, the most important aura concentration made Shen Yun very satisfied, although he understood that the deeper he went into the mountains, the aura might be more abundant, but he still decided to be content and happy when he listened to the roar in the distance.

......

For several days in a row, Shen Yun was exploring in the east and west directions, there were too many medicinal materials in the Old Demon Ridge, and in just a few days, he had harvested dozens of catties of good medicine, which had already exceeded the number of tasks by a lot.

Unfortunately, there is no sign of breaking through the bottleneck.

Early this morning, Shen Yun put the medicine basket on his back and walked towards the north, collecting medicine or second, mainly wondering if the aura in the north would be more abundant.

More than an hour later, Shen Yun climbed to the top of a small hill, looked ahead, and saw a majestic mountain, towering in the distance, about a few more small hills to reach.

"Do you want to go and have a look?" Shen Yun frowned slightly.

Feeling a little tired, I first found a large clean and flat rock, sat down to drink water and take a nap.

Suddenly, I felt a thrill in my heart and turned my head to look.

I saw that on the edge of a boulder not far away, there was a boy with red lips and white teeth, who seemed to be only seven or eight years old. The old demon ridge was actually able to meet people, and it was so big, and he was suddenly surprised.

Seeing Shen Yun turn his head, the boy showed a hint of a smile, hugged his fists and said generously: "In Xia Shi Jin, I have met Daoyou." As he spoke, he walked over.

Shen Yun was even more surprised, why did he call himself a fellow Daoist? Hurriedly got up and clasped his fists and saluted: "I've seen Brother Shi, my name is Shen Yun." ”

As he spoke, he looked closely, and saw that the boy was wearing a gorgeous white robe, with white and tender skin, and a pair of big watery eyes revealing a smart and clever look on his red face. The hair on the door of the head was buttoned like a teapot lid. The two curved eyebrows under the hair are as light as distant mountains. He had a missing front tooth in his row of white teeth, and he had a very cute smile.

"Brother Shen, are you also here to collect medicine?" Shi Jin was not afraid of life at all, so he came to Shen Yun and sat down, and looked at the medicine basket on the ground curiously.

"Yes, Brother Shi. Shen Yun was still a little ignorant, sat down and wondered, "What about you, why are you alone in this barren mountain and wilderness?"

"I'm here to accompany my sister to collect medicine. Shi Jin yawned, took out a white cloth bag from his arms, took out a few pieces of exquisite pastries, divided them into half and handed them to Shen Yun, and sighed, "I'm wandering around alone, and I'm almost suffocating to death." ”

"Oh, what about your sister?" Shen Yun suddenly felt in his heart, took the pastry, took a bite, and a fragrance of osmanthus refreshed people's hearts, melted in the mouth, and tasted excellent.

"She went to the mountains. Shi Jin pointed to the high mountains in the north and stuffed a piece of pastry into his mouth.

He asked again: "Brother Shen, what about you, are you also planning to collect medicine to break through the second-layer realm?"

Shen Yun was taken aback when he heard this, and even the pastry in his mouth fell off.

I haven't told anyone about my own bottleneck, my own cultivation, how could this boy with clear eyebrows know? Could it be a monster? Despite the bright sun, he still felt a chill, and his face changed color.

Shen Yun took a deep breath and calmed down, and couldn't help but ask, "How do you know that I am a second-layer realm?"

Shi Jin's eyes were looking down the hillside, where there were a few antelopes that were playing leisurely, so he didn't notice Shen Yun's expression.

Of course, he replied: "Because I am also a second layer." ”

Saying that, he turned around, and when he saw Shen Yun's confused appearance, he was stunned, but after a moment, he suddenly realized, and said with a smile: "You don't know what kind of exercises you are cultivating, right?"

Shen Yun wanted to say that of course I knew, but he faintly felt that it was wrong, and smiled helplessly: "I only know that it is called Chiyan Jue." ”

"Ah, Chiyan Jue, I know, it's the fire attribute technique in the Five Elements Immortal Cultivation Technique. ”

Cultivating Immortal Exercises?Fire Attributes?Shen Yun's mind was suddenly filled with paste, and he had already left behind his doubts about whether the other party was a monster or not.

I couldn't help scratching my head and said embarrassedly: "I accidentally got this exercise, I don't understand what you said?"

"It turns out that Brother Shen is a loose cultivator, it's like this......"

As Shi Jin explained in detail, Shen Yun roughly figured out a little.

I didn't expect that the exercises I practiced actually had a lot of origins, and they were immortal cultivators. The so-called cultivation of immortals is to rely on absorbing the aura of heaven and earth, cultivating one's own true yuan power, and finally becoming immortals.

Shen Yun's mind popped up with "Heaven and earth live the same life, immortality", and he was dumbfounded for a while, and his brain paused.

The road to cultivating immortals is long, and the initial realm is called the Three Realms of Spiritual Silence, referred to as the Three Spiritual Realms, which are the Spiritual Realm, the Spiritual Silence Realm and the Linglan Realm, and the realm after the Three Realms of Spiritual Silence is called the Three Realms of Brahma, also known as the Brahma Realm or the Three Brahma Realms.

"I am currently a second-layer cultivator in the Spirit Realm, and Brother Shen, like me, is also a second-layer Spirit Realm. Shi Jin showed a hint of maturity that was very inconsistent with his age, and sighed slightly.

Shen Yun looked surprised and nodded slightly.

Although immortality is not easy, the benefits of cultivating immortals are amazing.

Immortal cultivators in the Linglan Realm will not be invaded by all diseases; the Linglan Realm can fly with a sword, travel thousands of miles a day, and easily live to be more than 100 years old; the Linglan Realm is even more incredible, not only can it fly to the sky and escape to the earth, but its longevity can reach more than 200 years old; Brahma Realm, hehe, move mountains and reclaim the sea with a wave of his hand, the power is great, and the life span is 500 years.

Can you live to be five hundred years old? Isn't that really an old goblin? Shen Yun opened his mouth and swallowed his saliva.

"There are many benefits of cultivating immortals, but it is extremely difficult to cultivate and break through. Shi Jin smiled bitterly.

The third-layer exercises of the Spirit Realm are the introductory exercises for cultivating immortals, which are the simplest, as long as the qualifications are not too bad, they can usually reach the peak of the third layer in about a year.

"Immortal cultivators with a slightly worse chance can spend a few years, or even longer, in the Spirit Realm;"

The four-layer exercises of the Spiritual Silence Realm, the biggest difficulty for monks, the breakthrough of each layer is extremely difficult, and countless immortal cultivators with mediocre qualifications have been unable to break through in the Spiritual Silence Realm for the rest of their lives.

"A Spiritual Silence Realm cultivator can be regarded as a true immortal cultivator, who can live a healthy life without illness or disaster, and his combat power is also very amazing, not a level that mortals can achieve;"

"Linglan Realm cultivators belong to high-level immortal cultivators, which is very rare, and if you want to reach the Brahma realm, it is not only difficult, but you also need to pay attention to understanding and chance. Shi Jin became excited when he said it, shaking his head like a little old man.

Shen Yun was skeptical, these had long been beyond his imagination, and it was almost impossible to judge the authenticity, but seeing that what Shi Jin said was the Tao, it really didn't look like he was making it up to deceive people.

"In fact, in the eyes of mortals, all immortal cultivators are like land flying immortals!" Shi Jin didn't see Shen Yun's expression, and still smiled and teased.
