Longevity starts with learning

East Lake.

The sun was high in the sky, and the water was sparkling.

In the sky, a subtle spatial fluctuation flickered, and then a man and a beast almost flew into the lake one after another.

The clear lake water, when the waves were raised, was also visibly dyed with scarlet.

In a water area about ten miles away from this water area, several disciples wearing the robes of the Changsheng Sect sat cross-legged.

At the same moment, one of the men seemed to notice something, his eyes opened, and a compass-like object was suspended in front of him.

The man whispered:

"Eighteen miles to the east, there is a spatial fluctuation."

The man next to him asked: "Is it a disciple of my sect?"

"There is no trace of my sect's forbidden token. It should be a casual cultivator, or a child of another family."

After speaking, the man stood up and patted his clothes, and chuckled: "Let's go, it's time to live!"

Then, led by the man, several sword lights soared into the sky, and the direction they flew to was exactly the place where the spatial fluctuation flickered just now.

"Wangcai, I've shed a lot of blood for you this time!"

Chu Mu rushed out of the water in a panic, his body soaked, and the hideous bloodstains were clearly visible.

Wangcai was not much better, with several hideous bloody wounds on his body, and his tail was shortened. Judging from the traces, it seemed that he was bitten off.

"Woo woo woo..."

Wangcai was a little anxious and whimpered several times.

"Is someone coming?"

Chu Mu frowned.

"Woo woo woo..."

Wangcai whimpered twice again, and at the same time raised his head to look at the sky in the distance.

"Go, go, go!"

Sensing the spatial fluctuations that had not yet dissipated, Chu Mu's face changed drastically, and he didn't care about his eroded injuries, and grabbed Wangcai.

The somewhat broken Kamikaze Boots started to work again, and at this moment, the man and the beast turned into afterimages, rushing across the water at a high speed.

Not long after, the faint movement behind him also clearly proved that Wangcai's judgment was accurate.

Chu Mu was speechless. He had just killed several wolf-like monsters with strong bloodlines in the secret realm.

The last time, he probably killed the wolf cub of the second-level monster. He was chased by the second-level monster and had no way to go to heaven or earth.

Fortunately, the time limit for his stay in the secret realm came, and he was thrown out directly.

Why was he targeted again just after he came out?

He turned his head and glanced at the white robe of the Changsheng Sect, which was very conspicuous.

Unlucky!

Chu Mu cursed inwardly, but he didn't want to get entangled with his injuries and Wangcai's scars.

He looked down at the somewhat damaged Shenfeng boots and made a decision.

"Wind and thunder!"

With a low shout, the Shenfeng boots, which were broken by the second-level monster in the secret realm, exploded again!

Boom!

Suddenly, there was a sound of wind and thunder. The man and the beast, who had already become residual images, seemed to teleport at this moment.

In an instant, they opened up a large distance. In just a few breaths, they sank into the water and disappeared.

"Slipped away so fast!"

In the sky, several people stood in the air, looking at this vast water area. One of them complained,

"This person seems to be Chu Mu, the wanted criminal of our sect!"

Another man sensed the remaining soul breath around him and was slightly surprised.

"He actually escaped here and entered the secret realm!"

"Big Brother, this news, we can do a favor!"

The man on the side was slightly excited: "Chu Mu killed Zhao Tang, and Elder Zhao spent a lot of money..."

"Okay, let's talk about it when we get back."

The man waved his hand: "This person's means are not weak. If you meet him again, don't be that foolish young man."

"Big Brother, don't worry, we are not stupid..."

Several people said one by one, and soon disappeared in this water area.

Chu Mu galloped for dozens of miles, accompanied by a slight cracking sound, and the speed that was originally as fast as an instant also suddenly dropped.

Chu Mu looked down at the cracked and dimmed divine wind boots on his feet, and his mind moved slightly. The completely broken divine wind boots fell into the storage talisman, and on his feet, there was a pair of medium-grade magic boots from an unknown unlucky person.

He looked up at the water surface, jumped up, and broke out of the water from the bottom.

Looking around, he roughly confirmed a direction, the sword tip flowed, he grabbed Wangcai, flew into the air with the sword, and flew away.

Until he approached the shore, a secular barren mountain came into view, and under the sword light, a simple cave was visible to the naked eye in the mountain.

He raised his hand and pinched the seal, and a cleaning spell was cast to clean up the cave he had opened. Then, while muttering something in his mouth, a micro partition ban was set down.

At this time, he led Wangcai into the cave.

"You should heal first!"

Chu Mu waved his sleeves and threw the two monster corpses from the storage talisman aside.

He took a healing pill, closed his eyes and sat cross-legged, his magic power flowing, and he was no longer aware of the outside world.

Wangcai sniffed around, as if to confirm whether the environment was safe or not, and then he bit the two monster corpses. After swallowing them all, he lay down obediently at the entrance of the cave and fell asleep with his eyes closed.

The sun rose and set, and it was not until nearly 20 days later that Chu Mu, who was sitting with his eyes closed, moved a little, and then slowly opened his eyes.

He waved his hand, and three magic tools appeared in front of him.

A pair of divine wind boots, a robe, and a shield.

Without exception, all three instruments were damaged.

The Kamikaze boots were completely damaged after escaping from the secret realm, and this was a medium-grade magic weapon robe, and this top-grade magic weapon shield came from Zhao Tang.

But in the secret realm, the claws of the second-level demonic beast were directly smashed to pieces, and even the shield of the top-level defensive magic weapon was directly smashed into pieces.

Recalling the flight without any resistance, Chu Mu couldn't help but feel a little scared.

Facing that second-level monster, it was almost crushed in all aspects except spiritual intelligence.

He had no power to resist at all.

If not...

Chu Mu touched his arms and held the talisman he regarded as his last trump card in his hand.

The sword-shaped runes on the animal skin runes were obviously much darker than before.

Obviously, the power of this talisman has been depleted a lot.

His ability to escape from the pursuit of the second-level monsters was almost entirely due to this talisman.

However, with his current cultivation level, it is still too reluctant to use the talisman.

The three broken magic weapons in front of me are the best proof.

First he was procrastinating, but in the end he was slapped away with a claw.

Then with another claw, the shield was shattered and the robe was torn, and he was forced to use the divine wind boots to activate the wind and thunder.

Taking the risk of mana disorder and escaping for a distance, he was able to use some of the power of the talisman to stop the second-level monster.

Otherwise, he and Wangcai would probably become food for that monster.

While thinking, Chu Mu subconsciously thought of the scene in that valley where those family cultivators used formations to contain the two-headed giant snake, and then killed it with talismans.

There is no doubt that the plan of those family monks was extremely successful. The formation composed of immortal cultivators almost completely contained the two-headed giant snake.

Even if the two-headed giant snake went berserk later, the talisman fell and almost killed the giant snake.

If it weren't for the sudden change in the bloodline of the two-headed giant snake behind, that battle would have been a cross-level kill.

"Array..."

Chu Mu thought silently and was slightly moved, but in the end, he suppressed the emerging thoughts.

Everything has to wait until the foundation is established.

He raised his hand and wiped it, and the broken magic weapon in front of him, as well as this talisman, were all stored in the storage talisman.

Glancing at Wangcai, who was still sleeping, he pondered for a moment, closed his eyes slightly again, and focused his attention on the "Great Sun Sutra" in the sea of ​​consciousness.

Since that place of inheritance, the energy and spirit have been completely perfected, and the opportunity to build the foundation has become clearer than ever.

He even had a feeling that as long as he followed the hidden opportunity, he would definitely build a foundation.

Is it a premonition or an illusion...

He doesn't know.

So far, he has not found the answer.

Although he has gained a certain understanding of the Foundation Establishment Realm through other foundation-building techniques, he still doesn't know exactly how to break through and what the process of breakthrough is.

"The Great Sun Sutra..."

Chu Mu was a little worried. If a book of martial arts inheritance from ancient sects couldn't give him the answer, then he would really think of a way to find a backer.

After all, according to what he inquired about, it was obvious that the major families and the Changsheng Sect had formed some kind of unknown tacit understanding.

The Foundation Establishment Realm, including the resources and knowledge above the Foundation Establishment Realm, is strictly controlled.

What can be seen on the market are either the family traditions of some casual cultivators, the products of some cave ruins, or the individual opportunities of some cultivators.

And even these coincidences are often quickly collected by various forces.

The barrier between Qi training and foundation building is much more difficult than the leap from the worldly world to the world of immortality.

Ordinary casual cultivators, if they have perfected their Qi cultivation and want to have the possibility of building a foundation, they don't have many other options except joining a certain force to work for them.

"What exactly is the Foundation Establishment Pill?"

I feel anxious and full of questions.

His spiritual consciousness slowly touched this ancient Mahavaira Sutra.

At the moment of touch, the original simple characters instantly transformed into a big sun that illuminated the entire sea of ​​consciousness.

The endless scorching sun was scorching, and the raging fire was spreading. Chu Mu groaned, and a faint blood stain appeared at the corner of his mouth.

And the next second, he seemed to be in the illusion of the endless sea of ​​fire and the high sun.

The golden and simple characters rotated and shimmered around him, just like a brand. These shining characters were directly imprinted on his soul and engraved in his heart.

It was just a glance, but in my memory, it felt like I had recited it silently thousands of times.

After about a quarter of an hour, the illusion suddenly disappeared. Chu Mu's eyes were closed tightly, and there were still blood stains on the corners of his mouth, as if he was still digesting this massive amount of information about the technique...

…
