Zhao State, Shuyang Mountains. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Looking at the mountain gate in front of him, a young man in white sighed deeply, with a hint of self-deprecation on his face.

"This big sect is really not easy to enter!"

Fang Zhe was an orphan in his early years, and was accidentally discovered by a late stage of Qi cultivation who was about to run out of life, and was subsequently accepted as a disciple, but the year before last, his scattered cultivation master exhausted all his net worth and tried to impact the foundation building period for the last time, and fell on the spot after failure.

After the fall of his master, Fang Zhe went to Luoxian City, a place where scattered cultivation gathered, alone, and made low-level talismans in Luoxian City on weekdays to earn meager spirit stones.

Some time ago, he heard that Shuyangmen opened the mountain gate widely, and he wanted to recruit a group of disciples from the scattered cultivation, although he knew that there was little hope, but he still ran over, he knew that his qualifications and cultivation were not high, but he had followed the deceased master to learn the way of the talisman in recent years, and he could barely make low-level talismans, hoping to enter the Shuyang Gate by virtue of some talent in the way of the talisman.

But he still thought too simply, this time there were more than 1,000 low-level casual cultivators who came to Shuyangmen like him to apply, and Shuyangmen only selected more than 100 casual cultivators, and the rest were all rejected.

The sect recruits disciples, except for a few who are the descendants of the predecessors of the sect and the children of the vassal Xiuzhen family, most of them directly select those who have spiritual roots from among the mortal children in the surrounding areas, and cultivate them from an early age.

The other is to recruit from casual cultivation, these casual cultivation is equivalent to bringing art to the beginning, the age is generally older, and they have also practiced for several years, not to mention the follow-up cultivation, not to mention the loyalty is also a problem, no one dares to guarantee that these mixed in casual cultivation are not coming with a special purpose.

Therefore, when the major sects recruit disciples from scattered cultivation, they are generally much higher, either the spiritual root qualifications are very excellent, or they have a special talent for a certain cultivation skill, or they have a certain amount of cultivation.

Looking at the group of people who had passed the assessment in front of him, Fang Zhe showed a hint of envy, some of them were geniuses with excellent spiritual root qualifications, some of them had ordinary qualifications, but they already had cultivation above the late stage of Qi cultivation, and some of them were people with special talents in talisman making, refining weapons, etc.

And the qualifications of his own three spirit roots are naturally much better than those five spirit roots that are called waste materials, but in the entire cultivation world, at best, they are considered medium qualifications, and they can't make a big sect like Shuyang Sect treat them differently and directly recruit beginners.

If you want to get started, you can only be like other ordinary monks, either you have a cultivation level above the late stage of Qi cultivation before the age of thirty, or you have special talents in some skills.

However, Fang Zhe has been cultivating for several years, and now his cultivation is only at the third level of Qi cultivation, although he can barely make low-level talismans, but he is still not very good at talisman making talent, at least people don't look down on Shuyangmen.

The qualifications of the three spirit roots, the cultivation of the three levels of qi cultivation, and the lack of special talents, such a monk grabs a lot in the cultivation realm, which is much more common than the waste materials of the five spirit roots.

Sighing deeply again, Fang Zhe added a light body technique to himself, and then began to descend the mountain like other loose cultivators who were also unsuccessful.

On the way down the mountain, Fang Zhe began to think about what to do in the future, should he return to Luoxian City to continue making low-level talismans?

However, the spirit stones earned from making low-level talismans can't even afford the elixirs needed for daily cultivation, so let alone the extravagant hope of building the foundation avenue, even if you want to break through to the middle stage of qi cultivation, you don't know when it will be.

Just as Fang Zhe was thinking about how to continue his cultivation path in the future, he suddenly heard several equally unsuccessful scattered cultivators in front of him talking in a low voice as they descended the mountain:

"Brother Li, now that you and I have no hope of entering the sect, why don't our brothers go to the Yin Fog Valley in three months?"

A middle-aged man beside him said worriedly: "The Yin Mist Valley is such a dangerous place, but there are many dangers, there are many second-level and third-level demon beasts, and there are even fourth-level demon beasts, and you and I don't even have a decent magic weapon on our bodies, if you go to the Yin Mist Valley, let alone the fourth-level demon beast, even if you encounter a third-level demon beast, you will not escape death!"

"I naturally know the danger of the Yin Fog Valley, but with the situation of you and me, if there is no great opportunity, I am afraid that it will take decades of hard cultivation to break through to the late stage of Qi cultivation, in that case, how can we talk about building the foundation avenue!"

"Alas!" The middle-aged monk also sighed deeply, and then seemed to have made up his mind: "Brother Fang, you are right, in order to have even a trace of hope for foundation building in the future, this Yin Fog Valley is also going to break through, but there are many dangers here, we still have to think about it in the long run, buy some talismans, pills, and it is best to find a good magic weapon!"

Listening to the conversation between the two people in front of him, Fang Zhe also moved in his heart, the two people in front of him, like him, were both casual cultivators who wanted to have no qualifications and no talents, and now they were willing to risk great danger to enter the Yin Mist Valley in order to quickly advance to the late stage of Qi cultivation and to retain a glimmer of hope for building a foundation in the future.

So what about yourself, are you going to go to the Yin Fog Valley to fight?

Yin Fog Valley, which is located in a dangerous place three hundred miles southeast of Luoxian City, is shrouded in dense fog all year round, and this thick fog is also highly poisonous, and the monks cannot stay constantly, otherwise it will be corroded by the fog and turned into a dry bone.

However, every three years, the fog in the valley will dissipate, and at this time, a large number of monks will enter the valley to hunt monsters and search for elixirs.

However, even if the dense fog dissipates, the Yin Fog Valley is still full of dangers, and there are a large number of demon beasts in it, which are equivalent to the second-level demon beasts of the mid-stage Qi cultivation monks, and the third-level demon beasts equivalent to the late stage of Qi cultivation are rumored to be everywhere, and even the fourth-level demon beasts equivalent to the early stage of foundation building are infested.

This kind of Yin Fog Valley was undoubtedly a dangerous place for Fang Zhe, who only had cultivation in the early stage of Qi cultivation, and it was unknown whether he would be able to come out alive if he went.

But what if it's dangerous?

There is still an endless stream of low-level monks entering the Yin Mist Valley, in order to hunt high-value demon beasts or pick elixirs inside!

When Fang Zhe returned to Falling Immortal City, he had already made up his mind to go to the Yin Mist Valley in three months!

Even though Fang Zhe's qualifications are average, and he doesn't have any special talents, but Fang Zhe's expectations for the Great Dao are not inferior to anyone in the slightest, if he doesn't do extraordinary things, and only relies on making low-level talismans for the shops in the city, let alone building a foundation in this life, it is estimated that he will not be able to reach the later stage of Qi cultivation.

In order to improve his cultivation, in order to have a glimmer of hope in the future to impact the foundation building period, even if it was a dangerous place like Yin Fog Valley, Fang Zhe dared to break through.

However, if you want to go to the Yin Fog Valley for an adventure, you have to be well prepared, even though there are many resources in the Yin Fog Valley, but there is great danger with it, not to mention a monk in the early stage of Qi cultivation like him, even those monks in the late stage of Qi training, and even a monk who has practiced Qi in the Great Perfection dare not say that he will definitely be able to come out alive and sound.

After returning to Luoxian City, Fang Zhe returned to his usual days, purchased blank talismans and other talisman materials and then made talismans, after making them, some of them were sold to low-level casual cultivators, and sometimes in order to gain more time to make low-level talismans, he simply sold a large number of made talismans to those shops.

However, the spirit stones earned by making talismans were not used to purchase pills for cultivation as usual, but were accumulated, because he knew that with his qualifications, even if all the spirit stones he earned were used to purchase pills, he would not be able to break through to the middle stage of qi cultivation in a short period of time.

He wants to use the accumulated spirit stones to improve his combat effectiveness, so that he can come back alive from the upcoming Yin Mist Valley!

Therefore, on weekdays, in addition to making and selling talismans, he would also wander around Luoxian City to buy something that could improve his combat effectiveness.

For example, pills that can be reborn with severed limbs, pills that can avoid all kinds of poisons, and some talismans that Fang Zhe can't make by himself, and so on.

In addition, the most important thing is that Fang Zhe wants to buy a magic weapon that suits him!
