Longevity and Immortal Cultivation: Starting from Controlling Your Own Essence

Chapter 68 Visiting Tiandu Mountain

As soon as Zhang Yao's mana moved, he first took out the two jade slips.

He held the jade slip in his hand, and his mana penetrated into it. Immediately, a large message came along the mana, reflected in his mind.

The first piece of jade slip recorded the "Thick Soil Jue".

There is no difference in the content of the exercises, but there are a lot of notes between the lines, and there are also several powerful high-level earth-attribute spells recorded, which are obviously the inheritance of the Thick Earth Sect.

The second jade slip was left by Lu Nan himself.

This jade slip contains a lot of content, recording more common sense and some taboos in the world of cultivating immortals, as well as some simple bits and pieces of knowledge such as using magic tools, setting up array flags, distinguishing spiritual herbs, setting up restrictions... and so on.

"Hundreds of thousands of words are eloquent, and it can be seen that I have broken my heart for the younger generation."

"It's a pity that the younger generation doesn't live up to their expectations, and they don't want to be rich, so they can only pay with their lives."

Zhang Yao shook his head, temporarily put down the jade slip, took out three magical artifacts, and inspected each one.

That flying sword is a low-level magic weapon of the earth attribute, only restricted by nine spirit patterns, and it was obtained by Lu Nan himself through trading with others.

The flying sword is not very powerful, but it has the ability to fly away. It belongs to the standard configuration of ordinary casual cultivators, and it will not arouse suspicion if it is taken out.

But the remaining two pieces are different.

The khaki big seal, named "Nine Mountains Seal", is a pure attack weapon, the speed of activation is a little slow, but the frontal killing power is great.

The yellow-brown flag, named "Thick Earth Lianyun Flag", integrates offense and defense, and is particularly good at protecting the body. It was left by the first generation ancestor of the Houtu Sect.

These seals and flags are all high-level magic weapons with great value. Lu Nan didn't even dare to use them openly, so he could only hide them.

"No wonder, he had to set a restriction before he died."

When Zhang Yao saw these three artifacts, he understood in his heart.

The world of cultivating immortals is not peaceful. Apart from the deserts of cultivating immortals like Lu Kingdom, more places are also full of open and secret struggles, and the competition is very fierce.

The avenue leads to the sky, and it is difficult to carry hundreds of millions of people.

"I have to say that this Lu Nan's acting skills are not bad, and he pretends to be the same thing."

"Even the Liu family was coaxed around by him."

Thinking of this, Zhang Yao couldn't help laughing.

In the eyes of the Liu family, Lu Nan is just a poor and pitiful casual cultivator in the early stage of Qi refining, and his entire wealth may only be a low-level magic weapon and a few low-grade spirit stones, and he doesn't even bother to grab it.

The old matriarch of their family is a monk in the late stage of Qi refining, how could he care about such a trivial matter?
Because of this, the Zhennan Prince's Mansion was targeted by Emperor Yu Wenze, and Zhang Yao had the opportunity to step into the fairy gate with the oriole behind him, snatch the relic.

If the Liu family were to know that Lunan was actually inherited from the sect, they would have to think carefully.

"It's a great harvest, it's really a surprise."

Zhang Yao was in a good mood, he took back the jade slips and the magical artifacts, and got up to leave.

"Let's take a look at these jade slips on the way, and the magic weapon will have to be refined."

As soon as he thought about it, when his mana flowed, a layer of earthy yellow luster appeared on his body.

A wave-like brilliance radiated from the blue brick floor, and his whole body just "melted" into it, disappearing into the room.

underground:

Zhang Yao used the "earth walking technique" to escape underground, and soon left the scope of the Qingxu Temple.

This method of escaping from the mountains belongs to the magic of escaping and saving one's life. Zhang Yao practiced it most proficiently.

It's just that his cultivation base is still shallow, and the level of spells is not high. At most, he can escape about ten feet underground, and it will be difficult to go deeper.

"call!"

After a while, a yellow light glowed on a mountain wall, and Zhang Yao's figure emerged.

After identifying the direction, he walked unsteadily towards the town outside the mountain, leaving the deep mountain where he had practiced for decades.

…………

More than two months later.

In the south of Zhongzhou, near Tiandu Mountain.

Zhang Yao sat in a carriage, opened the curtain, and watched the bustling scene outside.

"I haven't been here for so many years, I didn't expect this place to be so prosperous..."

It has been a hundred years since the founding of the Lu State, and now the fourth emperor is in power, and the national power has reached its peak.

Even an ordinary market town in Zhongzhou is quite lively because of the time for the market to be held in all towns and villages.

"Keep going."

Zhang Yao looked at the Sugar Blower with relish for a while, then put down the curtain and gave some instructions.

"Yes."

The driving driver immediately responded, raised his whip, and continued on his way.

In the territory of Lu State, the spiritual energy is very thin, and there are only three miniature spiritual veins, namely "Wuyin Island", "Kongqingchuan", and "Tiandu Mountain".

According to Lu Nan's account, Wuyin Island has been occupied by Liu's family, and in Kongqingchuan and Tiandu Mountains, there are a few casual cultivators holding groups and forming hermitages, which can be called small fairylands outside the world.

Decades ago:

When Zhang Yao first became a cultivator, he had the opportunity to go to Kongqingchuan or Tiandu Mountain to practice, but he was cautious and delayed until today.

"In Lu Kingdom, apart from the Liu family, there are basically no monks in the mid-stage of Qi refining."

"With my current level [-] mana of refining Qi, being proficient in many spells, having a high-level magic weapon at my side, and my martial arts strength, I basically can't encounter any danger."

Zhang Yao groaned silently, thoughts surged in his mind.

After all, the aura environment in Lu State is too bad, as long as the monks who break through to the mid-stage of Qi refining, they will basically choose to leave.

And when the Liu family moved here, according to Lu Nan's guess, it was very likely that they had to do so due to the situation or some enemies.

After so many years, the old lady of the Liu family, as well as Yu Wenze's father-in-law and mother-in-law, should have died long ago.

Time has passed, and it's hard to say if there are any monks in the middle stage of Qi refining in the current Liu family, or it may have declined long ago.

"Guest, Tiandu Mountain has arrived."

A few days later, the coachman knocked on the carriage and spoke respectfully.

"Ah."

Zhang Yao pushed open the carriage door, threw a piece of silver at random, and said:

"This is the rest of the money, thank you for your hard work on the way."

"It's not hard."

The coachman quickly took the silver, wiped it happily, and carefully put it in his arms before driving away.

After the coachman left, Zhang Yao raised his head and looked at the majestic, tall and misty Tiandu Mountain in front of him, showing a smile:
"Tiandu Mountain...has been known for a long time."

Tiandu Mountain has been a famous mountain since ancient times, known as "Tianzhu".

At the foot of Tiandu Mountain, there are many villages and towns dotted around, and occasionally there are stories about some fairy families.

A hundred years ago, when Zhang Yao was active in Zhongzhou, he had heard about these deeds, but at that time he did not rush to seek out the secrets.

It was not until a hundred years later that Zhang Yao, who had become a cultivator, set foot on Tiandu Mountain for the first time.
