Changsheng: I, Cao, can see the prompt

Chapter 611: Land
After consolidating his Dongxu realm, Cao Wei set out to visit Xia Mingyong. Under Xia Mingyong's introduction, he met friends, visited the palace, made friends and became acquainted with many real people, spirit kings and other cultivators in the fusion stage.

Three to five years passed like this before Cao Wei returned to the Wuling Palace.

From then on, he began to practice in seclusion within the palace grounds.

The blessed land derived from the place where the spiritual world and the lower world meet is called the earthly world.

The lower world is also called the Small Thousand Worlds. Naturally, it is not as numerous as the secret realm. There are only a few thousand of them at present, so the earth realm is also only three thousand square meters.

Although the Linghuan Realm has fallen into ruin visibly to the naked eye, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse, and there are still as many as 1,200 small worlds under its rule.

Originally, there were one thousand small worlds under the rule of the three spiritual realms, each of which numbered one thousand.

However, since more than ten Yuanhui ago, the Lingxuan Realm had lost four ancient masters, Ju Mang, Ruoshou, Zhu Rong and Xuan Ming, who passed away one after another. The new Mahayana cultivators were not strong enough, so that two hundred of the small worlds under their command were plundered by the Linghuan Realm.

However, these plundered small worlds, under the joint efforts of many venerables such as Mingyu and Youtu from the Linghuan Realm, also became things that fed back to the laws of all things in the Linghuan Realm, slowing down the speed of their own status decline and destruction.

During this period, a group of Mahayana monks from the Linglong Realm, led by Xuan Ji, chose to stand by and watch, protecting themselves.

……

……

Before I knew it, another seventy or eighty years had passed.

In a quiet place somewhere in the Wuming Lingshan Mountain, there are dense ancient trees, a small courtyard with a few rafters, a wood fragrance pavilion outside the courtyard, and a tall stone bridge not far from the pavilion. Under the bridge, there is gurgling water and melodious music.

I saw seven or eight beautiful ladies in colorful clothes laughing and playing inside and outside the pavilion, their green sleeves fluttering and their yellow skirts swaying.

The few black-haired beauties in the pavilion prefer to be quiet, drinking tea, playing the piano, or mixing perfume.

When the beauties in colorful clothes were tired from playing, they took off their clothes, went into the water to bathe together, and laughed and played.

Suddenly, a man came towards them from the bridge, with oily hair and powdered face, and a big red flower in his hair. It was Zhu Jin who had been in seclusion for many years.

It stood in the middle of the bridge, leaned out, opened its eyes wide, and asked loudly, "Sisters, is it so hot today?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the beauties panicked, squatted shyly in the water, and rushed towards him with a wave of water.

Zhu Jin wiped the water stains off his face, smacked his lips, and said with a smile: "The bath water of the sisters is really sweet and delicious."

Seeing this, a beautiful lady with black hair in the pavilion pressed the strings of her zither, walked out slowly, and shouted, "Fellow Daoist Zhu, please stop teasing them. These young girls are so shy that they can't stand your teasing!"

Judging from her appearance, she was the female official in the Spirit Transformation Stage who had accompanied Cao Wei and his entourage in the past.

Several other female officials in the Spirit Transformation Stage who were in the pavilion also came out.

"Fellow Daoist Lan Sui has been living a comfortable life these days!" Zhu Jin said with a smile.

After saying that, it straightened its clothes slightly and walked towards it.

"I don't know why you are here, but has the master come out of seclusion?" The female official Lan Sui bowed and saluted.

"How could it be so fast? I estimated that it would take more than ten years for him to come out! The mountains are quiet, but also very boring, so I just walked around. I happened to see you here from the clouds." Zhu Jin said slowly.

"I'm just an old lady, what's so good about me? You must have seen those young girls, so you're willing to come down from the clouds, right?" Lan Sui chuckled.

"Look at what you said. Why can't I come to see you?" Zhu Jin said with a smile.

As he spoke, he reached out and hugged the beauty in front of him around the waist, then went forward and kissed her.

Lan Sui hurriedly pushed him away and said in panic: "You are so bold. We are all the master's maids, and you dare to tease us?" "Why not? I will go and beg the master to give you to me." Zhu Jin said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Lan Sui showed no joy, but instead a bit of resentment: "If Zhu Lang is just playing around, then don't tease me. I am just a weakling, how can I be worthy of you?"

"He is only about five thousand years old, still in his youth!" Zhu Jin said with a smile.

"It's not just five thousand years, it's almost six thousand! In another five or six hundred years, a calamity will befall me. If I can't survive it, I'm afraid I'll turn into ashes. Even if I survive it, there will be another calamity in another eight hundred years. How many times can I survive this cycle?" Lan Sui sighed softly.

"It's just a heavenly tribulation. Could it be that you didn't get through it?" Zhu Jin frowned slightly.

Upon hearing this, not only Lan Sui, but other beauties as well, all shook their heads.

Then Lan Sui said slowly, "Zhu Lang, we are the flowers and plants in the mountains. Once we have intelligence, we are already in the Nascent Soul stage. After years of being irrigated by the essence of the sun and the moon, it will take three to five hundred years, or even a thousand to eight hundred years for us to become gods."

Seeing this, Zhu Jin couldn't help but sigh: "How mean!"

At this point, it asked again: "But only you are like this, what about the others?"

"Flowers and plants only need a good place to grow, like in this heaven. After time, they will be able to develop intelligence and transform. However, the land in the lower realm is too thin to support us. The situation of birds and beasts is generally not bad either." Lan Sui nodded.

At this point, she went on to say, "That person is quite different. Those who are blessed by nature can walk and speak as soon as they land, and when they grow up, it is normal for them to build a foundation in a hundred days, form an elixir in a lifetime, and activate their Nascent Soul. But for those who are stubborn, they are like a stone and will never be able to refine their qi in their entire life."

One life is thirty years, and one cycle is twelve lives, or three hundred and sixty years.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Jin was puzzled and said, "For a person who is blessed by nature, it takes three or four hundred years to form a baby. Isn't this too late?"

Seeing the confusion in the other party's eyes, it smiled and said, "I was thinking the wrong thing."

Looking back on the past, for cultivators like it who were born in the Lower Xuan Realm, every step of the way in their cultivation was a challenge.

If there is no foundation-building pill to protect the meridians, then there will only be one chance to break through to the foundation-building stage from the Qi refining stage.

If you fail and damage your meridians, you will never have another chance.

And if one wants to break through from the Foundation Establishment Stage to the Golden Core Stage, the cultivation resources required are beyond the reach of ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators.

As for breaking through from the Golden Elixir to the Nascent Soul, one has to enlighten the Golden Elixir, nurture the Holy Fetus, and then spend a lot of effort to collect hundreds of great medicines that are more than three thousand years old.

After reaching the Nascent Soul stage, ordinary spiritual energy from the outside world is no longer useful to them. Every bit of magic power gained is accumulated from the spiritual energy nurtured by a vast amount of spiritual energy.

When it comes to breaking through to the spiritual realm, it is almost like a trip to the gates of hell.

Those old gods who are nearing the end of their lifespans stared at these new descendants, hoping to prolong their lives with their flesh and blood.

In this kind of practice environment, the monks naturally formed groups and established different groups such as families, sects and even ethnic groups.

They practiced from the Qi Refining Stage all the way up to the Spirit Transformation Stage, and no one knew how much effort they had put in.

But now, there is no need to fight or compete for these beauties. As long as they grow in the Thirty-three Heavens and are not picked, they are destined to at least reach the level of Divine Transformation.

However, compared to Zhu Jin, who are gods from the lower realms, every bit of their magic power was acquired through their own hard practice, while these gods from the upper realms are just empty talk.

Even if a dozen or so gods from the upper realm were added together, they would probably not be their match.
