"The leader of Qianqiu Chamber of Commerce in the South Sea of ​​the Southern Continent has advanced to the Nascent Soul stage and is preparing to establish the Qianqiu Sect."

"Thirteen years ago, in the Yunshan Mist Dragon Territory deep in the Tianzhu Mountains, another Mist Dragon was promoted to the fourth level, and it is suspected that its bloodline has returned to its ancestral lineage."

Light and shadows flashed across the screen, broadcasting short messages in rotation.

"In the area adjacent to the East China Sea in the Southern Continent, a scuffle broke out among the Sea Clan, suspected to be a fight over a certain spiritual treasure inherited by the Sea Clan."

The bright light shone brightly on Shen Lian's face. He lingered on the message for a few breaths and then continued to scroll down.

"The ancestor of the Yunshang Sect in the South Sea Region was injured."

"The Abyss Demon Sect founded by the demon cultivators of Tianzhu Mountain has been wiped out. The whereabouts of the Demon Sect's leader, Yuan Ling, is unknown. There is a possibility that he will make a comeback."

"It is rumored that Demon Sect Yuan Ling has obtained a secret relic deep in Tianzhu Mountain. The relic is still being searched for."

Next, Shen Lian's target stayed on the intelligence in the Tianzhu Mountain area. He looked through dozens of pieces of information in succession. The content covered various mining towns, sects, areas in the mountains where spiritual medicines had appeared, and so on.

After checking all this, he called in Hongyue who was waiting behind the door.

"Help me search for the whereabouts of the Earth Essence, the Thousand Gold Vine, and the Spirit Tree Heart in the Tianzhu Mountain area."

After hearing Shen Lian say three names in a row, Hong Yue slowly walked to the screen and clicked repeatedly.

After dozens of breaths, information appeared on the light curtain.

"Senior, the heart of the spiritual tree appeared in the thousand-year-old spiritual pine forest deep in Tianzhu Mountain two hundred and thirty years ago."

"The Dihuang Spirit has no record of this, but the Qianjin Vine appeared in the Yunshan Wujiao Spiritual Land in the east of Tianzhu Mountain 180 years ago."

Shen Lian leaned back on the couch and asked, "Where is the Ten Thousand Tendons Heavenly Refining Grass?"

“There is no record.”

"Where are the dragon blood dragons?"

“There is no record.”

Shen Lian nodded. What he said were all spiritual objects needed for body refining. Any force with a longer heritage might have records of such effects.

He pressed his forehead and continued, "Does your Lingyun Pavilion have any secret books related to physical cultivation?"

"What do you want to check, sir?"

Hong Yue groaned, "My Lingyun Pavilion has collected a lot of secret books on cultivation. These secret books are divided into different levels, and the price of each level is different."

After Hongyue finished speaking, she noticed Shen Lian's expression that seemed like he was smiling but not smiling.

"Sir, I am just a small steward. The prices and grades are all set by the cabinet. I don't mean to deceive you."

"Not many people practice physical cultivation nowadays, and the price is not that expensive. The most expensive secret scroll is only worth 100,000 spirit stones, and the rest are mostly worth 20,000 to 30,000 spirit stones."

"If you want to search for secrets of magic and skills, the price will be higher."

Then, Shen Lian stood up and walked to the screen and began to check the directory entries on the screen.

Just as Hongyue said, physical cultivation is no longer popular in this era. Many things, no matter how secret they are, will just be waste if others can't use them.

Standing in front of the light curtain, Shen Lian nodded.

He had thought about it before coming here. The matter of physical cultivation could not be concealed, but physical cultivation was not something shameful.

I first checked the situation in the southern continent, and then checked the situation of the relevant body-refining herbs in Tianzhu Mountain in the southern continent. Now I am investigating the secret book of body refining. This is normal.

…

When Shen Lian walked out of Lingyun Pavilion, Hongyue walked to an ancient stone hall deep inside the pavilion. She restrained her charm, bowed patiently and waited.

Not long after, the palace door opened automatically, and she walked in carefully.

Inside the hall, an old woman sat behind a wooden desk, looking through an ancient scroll in her hand.

"It turns out that this Dihuang Essence, as a spiritual medicine for restoring vitality, can really be used to refine the body."

The old woman looked carefully at the line of text interspersed in the scroll. It was just a dozen or so words of redundant description, sandwiched in the long essay.

"What kind of magical medicine is this Wanjin Tianliancao?"

Putting the scroll down, the old woman showed a hint of thought, then picked up a communication jade slip on the table and said, "Check the Ten Thousand Tendons Heavenly Refining Grass. It should be a spiritual herb used for physical cultivation. Remember to check if it is the same as some other spiritual medicine with a different name."

"In addition, the body-refining effect of Dihuang Essence is also marked as an additional charging node."

After finishing her work, the old woman looked at Hongyue.

"I have seen the steward."

Hongyue saluted respectfully.

"The person has left?"

"Yes." Hong Yue nodded, and then said: "This person is the Lei Fa Zhenren who entered the Immortal City yesterday, and the information he investigated was all about the various regions of the Southern Continent and Tianzhu Mountain.

In addition to the news from these places, I also looked for places where some spiritual medicines grow and appear. Finally, I also looked through the secret records in the pavilion about physical cultivation. "

Hongyue described what happened quickly, then closed her mouth and waited quietly.

"It's normal for a Thunder Dao cultivator to look for spiritual medicine for physical cultivation. Without a strong physique, one cannot withstand the explosive aura of thunder."

The old woman nodded and said, "Spiritual objects related to physical cultivation are hard to find. It seems that this person has set his sights on the Tianzhu Mountains in the southern continent."

As the manager of Lingyun Pavilion, she has been in charge here for hundreds of years and has seen too many monks who came to inquire about the news.

These monks have different purposes. Some have obtained some unknown treasures or collected some elixirs, and come here specifically to inquire about relevant information. To this end, they will use some smoke bombs and spend more spirit stones to find out some irrelevant information.

This kind of thing happens every once in a while, and Lingyun Pavilion is happy about it. The more people like this there are, the better, and they will earn more spirit stones.

For example, this time, the old woman secretly raised the price of the physical cultivation secret book, and the floating price increases of various items ranged from 30% to twice.

It's a business, I happen to have it, you happen to want it, this...

…

"Damn, this is a shady shop!"

After walking out of Lingyun Pavilion, Shen Lian spat.

Of course, despite all the criticism, the gains this time were pretty good.

Since physical cultivation has long since declined, the related secrets of cultivation are no longer kept hidden like they are with legal cultivation, and many things can be bought with money.

The related physical cultivation secret book bought from Lingyun Pavilion actually introduced some detailed training conditions of physical cultivation.

Physical cultivation is a path to immortality that goes hand in hand with legal cultivation. There are also some similarities between the two. If the ancestors of physical cultivation had not had so much fun, legal cultivation would not be the only one in the market today.

Taking the condensed magical powers as an example, physical cultivators also have physical magical powers. Shen Lian has known this for a long time, but he was not very clear about what the physical cultivators' magical powers relied on before.

This time I found the answer.

The magical powers of those who practice Dharma rely on the golden elixir, while the magical powers of those who practice physical cultivation rely on any part of the physical body.

With three heads and six arms, relying on the head and limbs, they can chase mountains and grab peaks. Relying on the limbs, in the Middle Ages, there were even cultivators who refined the strange bones of monsters into their bodies and transformed themselves into human-monster cultivators.

Since it relies on various parts of the physical body, the internal organs are naturally included in it.

In other words, the lightning patterns that exist in his five internal organs belong to the category of physical cultivation supernatural powers.

But Shen Lian's own way of physical cultivation was not orthodox at all. In addition, when he imprinted his supernatural powers, he also imprinted them according to the golden elixir supernatural powers. How come it ended up on the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys?

Shen Lian walked towards the rented cave while thinking.

When I just returned to the street where Longmen Blessed Land is located, I found it extremely lively here. Both sides of the street were filled with people kneeling in mourning clothes. They kowtowed and sobbed loudly when they saw monks passing by.

Seeing this scene, he moved sideways a little.

Death is the greatest thing, and this Taoist still has so many filial sons and grandchildren. It seems that this Taoist friend has not lived in vain.

“Boom!”

At this time, along the street, streams of light shot up into the sky, brilliant colors exploded in the air, and a thick smell of smoke filled the air.

Bunches of fireworks soared into the sky, instantly making the entire sky colorful.

Fireworks in the sky and wailing on the ground all came together at once.

"I'm sorry, fellow Taoists, the Wu family has disturbed you all."

"The old ancestor who established the foundation of our family passed away at the age of 280 in Yunlong Blessed Land. When he was alive, he was highly respected in our clan. As his descendants, we only want him to ascend to the immortal path with glory."

"I'm sorry for disturbing you all. I, Wu Xiang of the Wu family, apologize to you all."

"There is a buffet on this street. If you don't mind, you can enjoy it as much as you want."

…

For an old man who is building his foundation, he is putting on such a grand ceremony in a fourth-level immortal city!

For a moment, all the monks passing by were terrified.

You should know that this blessed area is inhabited not only by cultivators who practice Qigong and build foundation, but also by Jindan Zhenren.

There were fireworks being released on such a large scale, wailing and mourning, and, oh, the stages on all sides were also beating loudly with gongs and drums, the sound was like thunder.

Holding a funeral for an old man who has established his foundation, don’t you really regard Jindan Zhenren as your ancestor? In short, the whole street was noisy.

"Damn it, with such a grand ceremony, aren't you afraid..."

"Hush, be quiet, you don't want to live anymore, don't you know the backer of the Wu family? He has become an inner disciple of the Chixiao Sect. I heard that he is expected to become a disciple of a late Nascent Soul cultivator. Even the Haoyang Sect has to give him face."

…

"I apologize to you, Senior. My ancestor has passed away. Please forgive me."

When Shen Lian was about to walk over and return to Longmen blessed land, a young monk knelt down in front of him, banging his head on the ground.

"No problem."

Shen Lian waved his hand, turned and entered the cave in the Longmen Inn.

In the garden outside the cave, he stood with his hands behind his back, looking towards the Yunlong Blessed Land opposite.

Between the clouds, ripples appeared in the void, and a cloud of calamity was slowly gathering.

Someone has to overcome the golden elixir tribulation.

Whether it is the Yunlong Blessed Land or the Longmen Blessed Land, the distance between the three-level cave dwellings is more than ten to twenty miles. In addition, the spiritual energy is rich, so there is no problem in passing the golden elixir tribulation in the blessed land.

The moment the signs of disaster appeared.

From the other caves around the cave below the calamity cloud, a spirit boat flew out. There was a stage on the spirit boat, and some cultivators dressed in ancient costumes were singing and fighting.

In addition, the sound of fireworks from all directions became more rapid, and fireworks exploded in the clouds.

The sounds of gongs and drums came one after another, rising and falling, and were extremely noisy.

There were also many monks watching the show in other caves around.

“How could this fellow Taoist offend the Wu family? This golden elixir tribulation is difficult.”

…

Shen Lian looked at the movement in the sky, and then looked at the signs of the heavenly calamity that were appearing. He had no idea what was going on.

With a sweep of the divine mind, everything becomes clear.

Fighting is not allowed in the Cloud Fairy City, but the Wu family did not fight. They were holding a funeral for their ancestors.

Monks are also human beings, especially those from clans, who also believe that death is the greatest honor.

Moreover, the Wu family really did have a cultivator who had completed his foundation building who died. Coincidentally, he died in a cave next to a cultivator who was about to undergo tribulation.

In order to hold the funeral, the Wu family rented a cave near the one where the person was undergoing the tribulation, and set up a buffet on a street outside the blessed land, and also invited opera singers.

Just tell me whether it is a loss or not.

This is such a huge loss.

"Could it be that the Wu family sells bamboo shoots?"

Shen Lian shook his head slightly and walked slowly into the cave.

I just stepped half a foot into the Central Continent and learned a trick.

The person who was undergoing the tribulation was a cultivator from the Liu family, a rival family of the Wu family. The two families had been fighting for many years, but the Wu family had good luck in the past hundred years, and the children of the family even joined the Chixiao Sect and became inner disciples.

On the other hand, the older generation of Jindan cultivators in the Liu family kept passing away, and the new generation was a bit of a lack of successors. Finally, a good seedling emerged, but he did not dare to go through the tribulation in the family, so he chose to come to the fourth-level immortal city.

No matter how powerful the Wu family is, they cannot take action in a fourth-level immortal city.

But unexpectedly, the Wu family started to use military tactics.

You survive the tribulation, and I'll handle the funeral.

There's music and dancing, there's crying and wailing, you go through your disaster and I go through mine.

Anyway, an old cultivator of a senior generation really died in his Wu family.

…

A day later, Shen Lian came out of the cave and took a look at the gathering calamity clouds. He shook his head slightly. The calamity clouds for this person were gathering so slowly, and he must be suffering in his heart. It was estimated that the probability of him surviving the golden elixir tribulation was not high.

He walked all the way to the south gate of Yunduan Fairy City and rushed towards the southern continent.

After entering the depths of the Taixuan Realm, Shen Lian turned again, bypassed the Yunduan Fairy City and entered the Tiannan Central Land.

…

Two years later.

The central land of southern sky, Tianping area.

In a seemingly ordinary small mountain range, Shen Lian sat cross-legged in a cave. His spiritual thoughts sank into his body bit by bit, imprinting his second magical power onto his golden elixir bit by bit.

In the past two years, he had quietly sneaked into four Jindan sects, and with his superb formation and spiritual restriction skills, he opened the restrictions and searched other people's libraries.

In the end, no solution was found to the problem.

Therefore, Shen Lian prepared to imprint his magical powers on the golden elixir again to see if there would be any unexpected changes this time.

The Five Elements Thunder Method that he had prepared before was already on the five internal organs. This time he chose the Five Elements Forbidden Method, and was ready to turn this spell that could interrupt the cultivator's spellcasting process into his own magical power.

…

“Boom!”

After being busy for a while, when the spiritual forbidden patterns were almost completed on the golden elixir, strange phenomena occurred in the body again.

This time, the three energies intertwined and collided, causing Shen Lian to feel turbulent all over again.

The forbidden spiritual patterns that were stripped off from the golden elixir no longer cared about the essence of the body. The three kinds of energy rolled up the forbidden spiritual patterns and roared in his body, tearing every part of his flesh.

This obviously means that he is not allowed to imprint his magical powers.

In the end, Shen Lian could only erase the forbidden spiritual pattern.
