A seal of immortality

Chapter 1 Wang Changsheng

"Ugh!"

A boy of sixteen or seventeen years old, with normal facial features and slightly fair skin, sat cross-legged on the bed with a look of disappointment on his face. This was his 390th failure to break through the level. Surrounded by despair.

"Could it be that I've been stuck on the fourth level of Qi refining all my life?" The young man laughed at himself.

Wang Changsheng clenched his fist tightly, his nails dug deep into his palm, but he didn't feel any pain at all.

Wang Changsheng is 16 years old this year, and he comes from a small cultivator family. There is a master foundation builder in the clan, which is much better than those wandering casual cultivators.

The patriarch of the clan, who built the foundation, practiced in seclusion all the year round and rarely showed up. All the affairs of the clan were handed over to the patriarch. Wang Changsheng, as the only son of the patriarch Wang Mingyuan, had been doted on since he was a child, and his peers treated him very well. take care of.

At the age of five, Wang Changsheng, like the children with spiritual roots in the clan, began to practice under the guidance of a clan elder, and began his journey to immortality.

Because he is the son of the patriarch, Wang Changsheng's words and deeds have attracted much attention, and he also understands this. He has been practicing diligently, in order not to leave any excuses for others.

At the age of seven, Wang Changsheng had already reached the third level of Qi refining, and most of his peers were at the first level of Qi refining. This cultivation speed made the elders in the clan very optimistic about him, and his peers also respected this young patriarch very much. But what people did not expect is that since then,
Wang Changsheng's cultivation stopped, and he was stuck on the third level of Qi Refining.

At the age of 11, Wang Changsheng was still wandering on the third level of Qi refining when the clansmen who started practicing at the same time entered the fourth or even fifth level of Qi refining. Wang Changsheng's father, Wang Mingyuan, was so anxious that he bought it for his son with his savings After taking some pills that increase mana, Wang Changsheng successfully advanced to the fourth level of Qi Refining.

However, after entering the fourth level of Qi Refining, Wang Changsheng stayed at the fourth level of Qi Refining no matter whether he was taking panacea or practicing hard. Wang Mingyuan, who was eager to love his son, used the power of the patriarch to invite the Patriarch Zhuji to check for Wang Changsheng. The patriarch didn't find anything wrong, he just asked Wang Changsheng not to slack off and practice hard.

Wang Changsheng firmly believed in the words of Patriarch Establishing the Foundation. Others practiced for five hours a day, while he practiced for ten hours. But even so, the situation did not improve. year.

The clansmen who started to practice together, the highest has reached the eighth level of Qi refining, and the lowest is also at the fourth level of Qi refining. Because the cultivation level has been stagnant, everyone's eyes on the young patriarch have gradually changed, from the initial awe to disdain , Some people even made cynicism.

Wang Changsheng was just a young man, so he couldn't hear the cynicism from others, so he invited the clansmen who spoke rudely to discuss it. Because he was the son of the patriarch, this discussion was particularly eye-catching. Many clansmen even put down their cultivation and ran away. Go to the Martial Arts Arena to watch the two fight.

The ideal is beautiful, but the reality is cruel. With three moves, the opponent easily defeated Wang Changsheng with only three moves, and humiliated Wang Changsheng severely in front of everyone. Since then, Wang Changsheng has rarely appeared on the scene. In front of the other clansmen, even the meals were delivered to the room by the servants, while he practiced penance in the room.

Every time he practiced for a period of time, Wang Changsheng would try to break through. He obviously felt that he was only a little short of the fifth level of Qi refining, but these small gaps were like a huge gap, no matter how hard Wang Changsheng tried, he couldn't cross it.

"Could it be that I'm really not suitable for cultivating immortals?" At this moment, Wang Changsheng's heart for cultivating Taoism was a little shaken, but when he looked up and saw a portrait hanging opposite the bed, he quickly denied this thought.

In the portrait, a young girl with a good face is dressed in a blue palace dress, with a blue hairpin on her head, looking forward with a smile on her face.

The woman on the portrait is Wang Changsheng’s mother—Liu Qing’er. Liu Qing’er is a loose cultivator. Wang Changsheng’s father rescued Liu Qing’er when he was out. Get off Wang Changsheng.

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long. Wang Changsheng's mother passed away not long after giving birth to him because of her weak constitution. No panacea could save her life. Before she died, she named her son Changsheng and hoped that he would live a long and healthy life. Kang's growth, it can be said that Liu Qing'er fulfilled Wang Changsheng with her own life.

Wang Changsheng heard from his father that his mother's greatest long-cherished wish was to become a fairy and live forever. This was his mother's long-cherished wish and his father's expectation for him.

If he failed 390 times and gave up cultivating immortals, how would he face his mother who had passed away for many years? Wang Changsheng shook his head, getting rid of the distracting thoughts in his heart, and his heart of cultivating Tao became stronger.

The law of wealth and land are the four indispensable elements of cultivation for immortals to seek the truth! Land refers to the place of practice. Wang Changsheng's family occupies several miles of spiritual veins. As the head of the young patriarch, his residence is naturally Built on the spiritual veins, it is still possible to meditate and practice; Fa refers to the cultivation method. Although the Wang family is only a small cultivating family,
There are still complete five-element exercises, which have been accumulated over the years, and there are also many cultivation experiences of each attribute exercise method; companions refer to fellow practitioners and fellow Taoists, and the clan holds occasional gatherings to exchange cultivation experience. In addition, the family has a teaching hall, where the elders preach and teach the young people; when it comes to wealth, the Wang family is just a small family cultivating immortals, not to mention Ningzhou, even in Yueyang County. In addition to the reason that there are no high-ranking monks in charge, poverty is also one of the factors.

Clansmen without spiritual roots can grow some food on the outskirts of the mountains and go hunting in the mountains to support themselves.

Immortal cultivators are different. All expenditures of immortal cultivators need spiritual stones. In order to maintain the normal operation of the family, in addition to planting some spiritual medicines with a short growth cycle, the Wang family still has a large workshop five hundred miles away. A store was opened in the city to buy and sell some talisman-making and refining materials, but even so, the income was still far lower than the expenditure. In order to maintain the normal operation of the family, the patriarch Wang Mingyuan cut down expenses and reduced the monthly distribution of spirits to the clansmen. stone.

Of course, according to the level of cultivation, the spirit stones obtained are also different. The clansmen below the fifth level of Qi refining can get one spirit stone every month, and the fifth level to the eighth level of Qi refining can get two spirit stones per month. Above the eighth floor of Qi, four spirit stones can be obtained every month.

Because of this practice, some clan members were dissatisfied, but because of Wang Mingyuan's prestige for many years, they only dared to discuss it in private.

As the son of the patriarch, Wang Changsheng naturally had to take the lead, and because of this, excluding some necessary expenses, after so many years of accumulation, he only had more than 20 spirit stones, and a qi refining pill suitable for monks in the qi refining period It takes three spirit stones, not to mention other resources for cultivating immortals.

Wang Changsheng summed it up and found that what he lacks the most is money. At first he was stuck on the third level of Qi Refining, and he relied on his father's financial resources to buy panacea before entering the fourth level of Qi Refining. Now it seems that he is stuck on the fourth level of Qi Refining Mostly because of the lack of spirit stones.

It is easy to spend money, but difficult to earn money. There are many ways to earn spiritual stones. The easiest and safest way is to plant spiritual grains and elixir. He would not rent it to others at all. In addition to planting elixir, there are also many elixir in the deep mountains and old forests, but this idea was quickly rejected by Wang Changsheng. Most of the elixir in the deep mountains and old forests are guarded by monsters. Food, that is tantamount to courting death.

As for alchemy and weapon refining, these two professions are very popular, but they are all produced by smashing a lot of spirit stones. Only those big clans and sects of cultivating immortals can cultivate them, and the Wang family has established a family for hundreds of years. There is no famous alchemist or weapon refiner, not to mention that Wang Changsheng is self-taught, even if he uses the strength of the whole family, he may not be able to cultivate it. What's more, what qualifications does he have to deserve the family to waste resources on him? The patriarch probably wouldn't even give him a spirit stone every month.

As for opening a store to sell goods, Wang Changsheng dared not even think about it. With the little spirit stones in his hand, it was not even enough for the annual rent, let alone buying goods.

After thinking about it for more than half an hour, Wang Changsheng didn't think of any good career that suits him. If he remembers correctly, tomorrow is the day of the teaching hall. Shi's method, just to take a look, figured it out, Wang Changsheng closed his eyes, and began to practice the main skill "Ruijin Jue".
