Longevity starts with learning

He thought that he had made a fortune by getting half a head.

But now...

The stalactite spirit milk was in front of him...

Chu Mu was very confused.

The stalactite spirit milk was located in an underground cave, and he had to enter a pool of water and pass through an underground undercurrent channel to reach it.

To be able to condense the stalactite spirit milk, it was obvious that the material of the cave must be stalactites of spiritual nature.

It was impossible to break it in a short period of time, and even if it was to be broken, it would inevitably make a huge noise.

The emerald dragonfly was beyond the control limit of his spiritual consciousness, and it was just a dead thing that acted according to logical commands, and it was impossible to perform too fine operations.

Even if he stood by the pool of water, the distance from the cave was far beyond the coverage limit of his spiritual consciousness, and it was impossible to use the bamboo dragonfly to achieve his goal as he did just now.

Obviously, if he wanted to get the stalactite spirit milk, he had only one way to go.

That is to personally enter the pool and the cave...

Chu Mu silently watched the ferocious two-headed giant snake, feeling the rolling spiritual energy that gathered towards the two-headed giant snake, and reason and greed seemed to be entangled again.

Moreover, this time, greed also clearly prevailed.

After so many years in the immortal path, there is a fact that is undoubtedly very clear.

As a casual cultivator, without power and influence, it is difficult to walk.

For things that others can easily get, he... must have gone through countless hardships.

In the Qi training realm, he opened up the source of money, and the things he could get, or, after opening up the source of money, what he could buy with spirit stones and everything he could touch, were undoubtedly extremely limited.

Under the strict class order of this cultivation world, everything has a threshold.

The Qi training realm belongs to the lowest level of the cultivation world, and this threshold is not too obvious.

After all, there are many, many cultivators in the Qi training realm, and the huge base number is destined that this realm of cultivation, no matter how monopolized and restricted, will not be left with no way out.

But what if he reaches the foundation building stage?

The higher the cultivation level, the rarer the resources and knowledge required.

Spiritual medicines with decades of medicinal age and first-level spiritual materials can be found everywhere in the market and black market.

What about second-level spiritual materials, spiritual medicines that are hundreds of years old?

That is rare!

The threshold of invisibility will only get higher and higher, and the monopoly of resource knowledge will only become more severe.

Just like... the countless immortal cultivators he saw in the lotus pond.

Why, as soon as he showed up and leaked his soul, there were waves of chases and kills?

Why, knowing that the major forces had cleared the field and blocked it, there were still so many immortal cultivators who rushed forward fearlessly, just to fight for an unknown possibility?

Because, the opportunity is in front of them, and no one wants to miss it.

He is the same, and he doesn't want to miss it.

Be low-key when you should be low-key, and you have to break through when you should!

There is no way to cultivate immortality without experiencing danger...

Chu Mu decisively went down the mountain. He walked slowly, and the phantom mask had completely covered him.

But obviously, this was just a cover-up.

With his current understanding of refining, this top-grade magic weapon, the phantom mask, was not perfect even in the Qi training realm. There were too many ways to break the disguise and see the truth.

Not to mention, in front of a second-level mid-to-late stage monster, equivalent to the middle-to-late stage of foundation building, as long as it was awake, it was useless.

"Before the two-headed snake transformed, it seemed to be extremely good at concealing its breath..."

Chu Mu was cautious, but he suddenly remembered the half head he had just obtained.

He descended into the valley, a second-level monster, he did not find any abnormality. Wangcai was a monster, and should be extremely sensitive to blood pressure, but he did not find any abnormality.

And the appearance of this two-headed snake undoubtedly proved that it stayed in this pool and did not leave.

Obviously, the two-headed snake before its transformation definitely had some talent in hiding its breath.

With that half of the head, it seems that a high-quality artifact that can hide its breath can be refined...

Thinking in his heart, Chu Mu did not stop and sneaked into the valley, only a few hundred meters away from the sleeping two-headed giant snake.

The pressure of the two-headed giant snake's breath almost made him a little breathless, and the scales on its body were also clearly visible.

Chu Mu breathed slowly, suppressed the tension in his heart, and moved forward very slowly.

Until he reached the pool, the two-headed giant snake was still sleeping.

He stood by the pool, pondered for a moment, and without hesitation, he quietly sank into the pool.

Although he did not know water-attributed magic, with the help of his powerful body functions, he was also very fast in the water.

In just a few breaths, he had already rushed into the underground undercurrent channel, rushed along the channel, and folded up the bamboo dragonfly that seemed to be crashed. Finally, he came out of the water and found a different world.

It seemed that the air was not circulating, and there was an extremely unpleasant stench in the cave.

Chu Mu jumped up, without any hesitation, and moved his body, and appeared in front of the stone trough in the corner.

His mind moved slightly, and the stalactite spirit milk accumulated in the stone trough flowed back into the jade bottle he had taken out like water.

Although there was only a thin layer of spirit milk in the stone trough, it seemed that there was much more than he had imagined.

After two jade bottles were filled, the stone trough completely revealed its true appearance. Chu Mu raised the jade bottle and connected the drop of spirit milk that had just dripped into the jade bottle. Then, his mind had covered the entire cave.

He jumped up and broke the stalactites hanging from the top of the cave, which were shining with a faint aura.

The two jade bottles and the five stalactites, which were second-level spiritual minerals, fell into the storage talisman.

Under the cover of his spiritual consciousness, after confirming that nothing was missing, he did not linger any longer and jumped into the pool again.

When it surfaced, the two-headed giant snake, which was almost within easy reach, was still sleeping, and its surging spiritual energy was almost condensing into substance under its seemingly unconscious breathing.

It was obvious that this two-headed giant snake was definitely a blessing in disguise.

Chu Mu took a deep look at the huge two-headed snake, paused for a while, and then returned as cautiously as he had come.

Peaceful journey.

Many monsters in the surrounding mountains seemed to be intimidated by the transformed two-headed snake and fled one after another.

Entering the mountain, it was already silent, except for the mess left by many monster beasts fleeing in all directions.

"Woooooooo..."

Seeing Chu Mu approaching, Wangcai rushed over excitedly, holding a huge mouse in his mouth.

Chu Mu took a closer look and found that this mouse was also a monster, but it only had the cultivation level of the early stage of the first level. However, it had been bitten to death by Wangcai, leaving only a corpse.

Chu Mu patted Wangcai and motioned for it to eat. He looked around and saw several jade slips appearing in his hand.

The three jade slips, which were the tokens of the secret realm, showed no abnormalities after entering the secret realm.

It seems that it is really just a simple access voucher.

With a flick of his hand, Chu Mu put the three jade slips into the storage talisman. Then Chu Mu looked at the two jade slips left by Zhao Shuang to introduce information about the secret realm.

Zhao Shuang didn't leave much information, only an extremely vague topographic map and an equally vague introduction. The clearest one was the so-called ancient monk's cave.

Location………

Chu Mu looked around again, but there was hardly any discernible trace.

The only clue so far is that the ancient monk's cave is at the bottom of a large lake in the northwest, under Sword Blade Peak.

The specific scene appearance is also recorded in the jade slips. If you go to that area, it will undoubtedly be easy to identify.

"Northwest direction..."

Chu Mu looked up and saw the mountains and the sea of ​​clouds stretching out, showing the vastness.

His thoughts moved slightly, the divine wind boots under his feet were moving, and a faint spiritual light shone around his feet. His body looked like a ghost, and in a flash, he disappeared into the mountains and forests...

…

Two days later.

Among the mountains and forests, there was a white tiger with two wings on its back. It was covered in bloodstains all over its body, and there was a bloody gash several feet long on its waist. Blood drops were flying everywhere, and it was flying and jumping in the mountains and forests, trying to escape.

Behind him, there was a black shadow chasing closely. Between chasing and escaping, the two of them had already run several miles away in the forest.

"roar!"

There was a sudden roar, and the black shadow behind him rushed forward. The huge body was clearly visible, and the ferocious claws pierced the body of the white tiger in front of him.

With a tearing sound, a large piece of flesh and blood was torn off by the sharp claws. Then, the sharp claws reappeared and bit the white tiger's neck with great accuracy.

The fangs pierced, blood spattered, and with a scream and roar, the white tiger had lost its life.

"Eat it."

Chu Mu fell from the sky lightly, retracted the white tiger's wings that he had deliberately left unharmed, and uttered a sentence.

"roar!"

Excited by the wealth, with a few bites, the white tiger's huge body shrank in size visible to the naked eye.

Chu Mu's face was expressionless. Looking at the white tiger wings in his hands, he couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

A tiger has two wings, and his bloodline is obviously good. At least, if Wangcai faced him alone, he would probably end up being eaten.

However, it is only a first-order monster. No matter how good it is, the value of these wings is only in the first-order category, and it is of little use to him.

He glanced at Wangcai, who was still biting and devouring the white tiger, and then looked at the surrounding mountains, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

The vastness of the secret realm was far greater than he imagined, and the dangers of the secret realm were much more real and cruel than those recorded on the jade slips.

In two days of traveling, he didn't meet a single immortal cultivator, but he encountered many monsters.

Various low-level monsters emerge in endlessly, and there seem to be several second-level monsters.

However, the territory of second-level monsters is generally extremely conspicuous. After all, low-level monsters do not dare to enter the territory of second-level monsters, so it is not difficult to avoid them.

It's just... that no one is around, which is obviously uncomfortable.

Judging from the Xie family monks I saw in the valley before, there are definitely many monks from various families and the Changsheng Sect who have entered this secret realm.

He traveled for two days, but there was no sign of anyone.

None of the topography and landforms recorded in the jade slips matched.

After two days of traveling, I was like a headless fly, unable to find my destination...
