Longevity begins with loose cultivation

Chapter 1
Outside there was thunder and lightning, and the rain was pouring.

The oil lamp gave off a faint light to illuminate the room, bringing light and warmth to the small room. At this moment, Lu Zhong was lying on the bed covered with a quilt, staring at the roof with dull eyes, with an expression of lovelessness.

Not long ago, he was happily staying up all night cultivating immortals.

As an ordinary migrant worker, playing games all night on weekends is Lu Zhong's only means of entertainment. Compared with various outdoor activities that cost a lot of money, the dopamine secreted by playing games is cheaper.

But he never thought that he came here just by squinting his eyes.

"Cultivation, hehe, I really came to cultivate immortality..."

Scattered memories kept popping up in his mind, all of which were left by the twenty-eight-year-old original owner with the same name and surname as him. It is worth noting that this person is a legendary cultivator.

Yes, it is possible to cultivate immortals in this world.

You can embrace the moon in the nine heavens, and you can catch turtles in the five oceans.

But this has nothing to do with him as a middle-to-lower aptitude monk with four spiritual roots who lacks gold in the five elements.

Cultivating immortals in this world requires spiritual roots, a kind of magical thing that tree roots are like for big trees.

Spiritual roots have attributes, corresponding to the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, earth, and everyone's natural spiritual roots are roughly equal, but according to the amount of spiritual root attributes, aptitude can be divided into five levels.

The aptitude of the Five Spirit Roots cannot be sculpted by rotten wood. If one does not come from a great family of immortal cultivators or a famous sect of immortal sects, or one is lucky enough to get an extremely astonishing chance against the heavens, one can only spend one's entire life cultivating to the third level of Qi Refining at most.

However, Lu Zhong's four spiritual roots are of middle-to-lower aptitude. In the world of self-cultivation, he is like a commonplace existence, and he can cultivate to the ninth level of Qi Refining if he has the resources.If you are lucky, there is still a slight chance to become a foundation cultivator admired by thousands of people.

The three spiritual roots on the top belong to the medium qualification.

The number of monks with such qualifications is not small, roughly accounting for [-] to [-]% of the total number of monks. They are basically the backbone of major sects and families. In some small sects and small families, they will even be cultivated as young geniuses. .

If they have the right opportunity, they might be qualified to have a peek at the Great Dao of Formation.

As for dual spiritual roots and mutant spiritual roots, they both belong to the category of cultivating geniuses, which are extremely rare.

As long as such people don't die halfway, at least they are the future of the ancestor of the alchemy. They are usually hidden tightly by the various clans and sects, holding them in their hands for fear of falling and holding them in their mouths for fear of melting. It's all baby tight.

There is also a monk with a single spiritual root, and another name is "Heavenly Spiritual Root".

A monk with this kind of qualification is the darling of the heavens, a true super genius in cultivation, and it is not an exaggeration to say that his cultivation speed can reach a thousand miles a day. Once he is born, he will attract competition from the great sects of the immortal sect or the great clans handed down from generation to generation, and will bring chaos to the cultivation world every time. Turned upside down.

Perhaps the magnificent scenery of the cultivation world is specially designed for people with this kind of talent.

But as I said before, all of this has nothing to do with Lu Zhong.

After all, he is just a rookie who has just introduced qi into his body and has not long cultivated to the first level of qi refining.

Such a person is undoubtedly at the bottom of the cultivation world.

"Forget it, if you come, you will be at peace." Lu Zhong has always been at ease with the situation.

Although he didn't hold any hope in his heart, he still began to recall the relevant memories, wanting to see what the original body left for him.

In memory, the hut he was in was just rented by his predecessor, and he "cheaped" himself if he didn't even stay for one night.

The layout of the hut is one bedroom and one living room, plus a small kitchen built indiscriminately. After a long period of disrepair, many places are rotten and moth-eaten. Fortunately, the main structure is still safe, and some houses will be destroyed and people will die. Danger.

Searching east and west, picking up and finding a lot of things
A book with yellowed paper.

A dozen sheets of yellow paper.

A set of character making tools.

A hundred forged stainless steel long sword.

Fanmi half cylinder.

This is all the relics left to him by the original owner.

"What a poor ghost!" Lu Zhong complained helplessly.

I don't know what Yuanshen was thinking, he spent all his spiritual stone savings just to rent this dilapidated and dilapidated small house.

The reason for renting a house is to have enough aura to absorb.

But isn't this just a moment of feverishness?
Distraught and unable to fall asleep, he simply picked up the scroll and read it.

On the cover page, there are six big characters of "Common Talisman Making Method" written vigorously. The signed author is a person named Qinghe Layman, who introduced himself as a master talisman at the beginning of the chapter.

At the beginning of this book, Layman Qinghe introduced the classification of talismans in the realm of comprehension. The talisman of the Qi refining period is the first level, the talisman of the foundation building period is the second level, the talisman of the Jindan period is the third level, and so on.
The first-level talismans can be subdivided into upper, middle and lower grades, which strictly correspond to the post-junior high school realm of the Qi refining period. Usually, one needs to reach the corresponding small realm in order to be able to draw that level of talisman.

In the book "Common Talisman Making Methods", a total of seven kinds of talisman drawing methods are recorded. The first-level low-grade three are cleaning talisman, candlelight talisman, and arrow-avoiding talisman. Dust Talisman, Lightweight Talisman and Exorcism Talisman.Finally, there is a method for making the first-grade top-grade defensive talisman golden light talisman. It is the most detailed in the book and the layman Qinghe also specially marked a sentence on it.

"Golden light talisman is a must for us talisman makers to live and work."

After reading every word of the book, Lu Zhong knew the purpose of buying this talisman-making book and the complete set of talisman-making tools. Obviously, he wanted to follow the path of the talisman maker so as to find a job for himself. s method.

After all, cultivation is not easy, and it costs money everywhere.

Just like the hut he lives in now, even though it is full of moths and mildew, it still needs a spirit stone for monthly rent.

Even so, it was the original body who broke his head to snatch it.

The original purpose of renting a house was not only because he didn't want to become a casual cultivator in the wilderness, but also because he wanted to rely on absorbing the abundant spiritual energy here so that his cultivation could grow faster.

In other words, rent is equivalent to aura tax.

Lu Zhong was also worried when he thought of the rent.

If you fail to pay the rent in full, you will definitely be kicked out and reduced to a lonely ghost with no one to support you.

Based on the average lifespan of a casual cultivator in the wilderness, he concluded that he would not survive more than three days.

Thinking of this, Lu Zhong secretly groaned in his heart, and quickly recalled the memories related to making talismans.

I remember a lot about the original person practicing talisman making, but it's a pity that this person's talisman making talent is really mediocre, and he didn't get the guidance of a famous talisman making teacher. Except for a talisman making book he bought, everything else was done by himself. .

After consuming a hundred pieces of talisman paper to only a dozen or so, he failed to draw the simplest cleansing talisman.

"If it were me, I guess it wouldn't be much different." Lu Zhong couldn't help thinking sadly, and closed the scroll in his hand.

But at this moment, he suddenly felt a stabbing pain in his mind, followed by a sense of dizziness.

Opening his eyes again, he found that he had actually entered a space filled with gray mist.

"What's the situation?" Lu Zhong looked around in astonishment, and found that there were many things like glass lenses floating in the pervasive gray fog. Subconsciously, when he touched it lightly with his hand, a clear memory immediately flooded into his mind.

This is a memory about his previous life. He accidentally dug up a stalk of spirit grass and was being hunted down. The strong fear was transmitted along the memory, allowing Lu Zhong, who was looking at this memory, to experience it personally.

Everything is a retrospective of the scene at that time.

Incomparably restored, it can be said to be incomparably real.

Withdrew from this memory, Lu Zhong found that his head began to ache.

"Each piece of glass lens represents a piece of memory. You can recall the memory by touching it, and you need to pay a certain price. It is what is called divine consciousness here..."

Knowing this, he no longer dared to casually touch the memories floating in the gray mist.

"You can go back to your previous memories, but what's the use of it?" Lu Zhong squatted on the ground and drew small circles, thinking hard, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his heart, and he clapped his hands heavily.

"That's right, you can!"

He remembered that the original price for buying the talisman-making book was not low, because the monk who sold the book would instruct how to draw the cleaning talisman.

The knowledge in this world is extremely expensive, and it is impossible to obtain it for free. Without paying some price, it is impossible to get a little bit of real information from others.

It can be said that half of the money Yuanshen spent on buying books was spent on the drawing instructions of cleaning characters.

And this memory should still be floating in the gray mist, so he may gain something if he checks it.

If he could really learn how to make talismans, then he would be able to obtain a means of earning a living and gain a foothold.

As soon as the thought came to him, a meteor fell in front of him, it was the memory of the cleaning talisman pointing.

"Hey, it also has automatic search!"

Lu Zhong clicked directly without hesitation, and a large number of pictures immediately appeared in his mind.

As if you were in a noisy market, even the vibration of the rolling wheels could be transmitted to the soles of your feet. At this moment, an old voice spoke calmly.

"Painting talismans is a careful job, and there is no room for sloppy work"

"Before starting to draw the talisman, I suggest you to meditate first, wait until the mood calms down, and then draw the talisman to get twice the result with half the effort."

"I'll only teach you once, so be careful! This is how the cleaner is drawn"

The sixtieth old man who set up a stall picked up the talisman pen and dipped it in a can of talisman ink. His spiritual power was transmitted from the palm of his hand through the tip of the pen to the talisman paper evenly and steadily. Draw a cleaning character.

"So that's the case. I didn't expect there to be so many tricks. These are not mentioned in the talisman making book."

Lu Zhong was mesmerized by watching, and he had a lot of understanding on how to draw the cleaning talisman.

Once. Twice, the more times he checked this memory, the more he gained.

After repeatedly checking the memory of this teaching drawing talisman seven or eight times, Lu Zhong paid the price that his spiritual consciousness was about to be exhausted, and finally he was able to talk about how to draw the cleaning talisman in his heart.

Next, it's time for actual combat.
