Living a peaceful life in the world of cultivation

The night is deep.

Lu Ping absorbed all the spiritual energy from the ten spiritual energy clusters, and his cultivation level steadily improved once again.

It's not just about cultivation level.

He had just practiced the [Mysterious Sword Forging Divine Technique] again, and his spiritual consciousness had been tempered once more.

At this moment, with his spiritual sense fully activated, Lü Ping was able to perceive the rustling of grass and the chirping of insects within a radius of five zhang.

According to the "Miscellaneous Talks on Cultivation", the limit of the spiritual perception range of a Qi Refining stage cultivator is nine zhang in radius.

"Most ordinary late-stage Qi Refining cultivators have a spiritual perception range of only about five zhang."

The perception range of five zhang in radius may seem small, but in reality, it is already quite remarkable.

Before cultivating, I thought that cultivators could perceive every detail within a hundred miles, but that was nothing special. Now that I'm cultivating, I realize that I have complete control over a hundred miles, like a mayfly seeing the blue sky!

"My current spiritual perception range is comparable to that of a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator; the degree of spiritual condensation is even stronger than that of an average late-stage Qi Refining cultivator."

"As for the area within a hundred miles..."

Lü Ping shook his head.

During the Qi Refining stage, the spiritual sense cultivated by a cultivator has a perception range of up to nine zhang. Perhaps some unique secret techniques and rare treasures can help cultivators break through obstacles.

However, to measure the range of this perception in miles, a cultivator must break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, become a true Foundation Establishment cultivator, and cultivate divine sense!

As for physical strength, Lü Ping did a brief test. He felt pain when fully wielding the low-grade first-tier Cloud Bamboo Sword.

According to the "Miscellaneous Talks on Cultivation", body-refining cultivators have a standard for quantifying the strength of their physical body throughout their lives, which is to withstand a magic weapon of the same level.

"I can barely withstand the attack of a low-grade first-tier Cloud Bamboo Sword with my physical body."

"As for the Xuan Tie Flying Sword, it certainly won't be able to withstand it..."

Lu Ping's physical strength is not weak.

Within the Yue Kingdom, cultivation primarily focused on Qi refining. Although the tradition of body refining had not been severed, there were very few body refiners who had achieved significant success in their cultivation.

"I'm still a long way from my goal of achieving a hexagonal path to immortality."

Lü Ping left the quiet room and went into the courtyard.

The cool mist drawn by the [Cloud, Water and Mist Concealment Array] shrouded the five spiritual lands, making them difficult to see clearly.

Within the No. 1 Spiritual Soil area, Yang Yuanzhi silently absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. The earth elemental energy in the dark spiritual soil, even in its initial stage, exuded a natural charm.

Within the second spiritual soil area, under the perception of the mind, it was sensed that around the spiritual seed of the Bone-Growing Grass, there were already some demonic beast bones that had lost their luster and had been completely absorbed by the spiritual seed.

Within the third spiritual land area, the Cloud Pattern Bamboo stood tall, swaying in the night wind; the Thunderwood tirelessly battled against the thunderous sounds within the Na Yin array; Lü Ping drew a few arcs of electricity from the Thunderwood and struck the leaves of the Iron Sword Orchid, causing it to sway and shake, yet it still refused to bow its head.

Within the fourth and fifth spiritual soil areas, Huan Chuncao seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep, absorbing the spiritual energy flowing within the courtyard with each breath, her body shimmering with light.

Inside the reserved Fire-elemental Spirit Land, two male Fire-feathered Chickens, A and B, paced back and forth, guarding the three female Fire-feathered Chickens that were incubating their offspring.

That silly dog, Big Yellow, had a good sleep during the day and is now running around the yard with its tongue lolling out, acting like a spoiled child. Because Lu Ping warned it, Big Yellow didn't chase after the Fire Feather Chicken.

Lu Ping, who cultivated the spiritual creatures in this courtyard, was naturally no ordinary cultivator.

Under the bright moonlight.

Lu Ping wore a blue Taoist robe, a second-tier mid-grade robe called the White Cloud Spirit-Containing Robe. On the left side of his waist was a flowing light pendant containing moonlight spiritual light, with a warm and lustrous color. Inside the sleeves of his robe, the Green Wood Protective Talisman and the Flaming Sun Sword Talisman were always ready. At his heart, he constantly felt the cool warmth of the Heart-Clearing Jade.

Inside the quiet room, there were two gourds, one yellowish-brown and the other purplish-red, which were respectively the sword-nurturing gourd and the fire-swallowing gourd. At this moment, five black iron flying swords were being nurtured inside the sword-nurturing gourd; the refined black iron sword array diagram had already been placed in the storage bag.

If this body were to unleash its full radiance...

Lu Ping shook his head; it was naturally impossible for it to emit a precious light.

Strolling leisurely through the courtyard, stopping and starting, I arrived at the Spirit Spring.

"Hmm, something is missing from this spiritual spring."

"Something's missing..."

Lu Ping frowned and pondered for a while, when Big Yellow flew past his feet like the wind, giving him some inspiration.

"Several spirit fish are missing!"

Yunzhu Market is located in the Snow Toad Mountain Range. The mountain range has many rivers and lakes, and demon hunters often catch spirit fish in the mountains and bring them back to the market to sell.

The spirit fish from the Snow Toad Mountains have tender and delicious flesh. Many of the spirit fish caught from the mountains, rivers, and lakes have made it onto the menu of Xiangyun Tower.

"This spiritual spring is rich in spiritual energy, and the water is filled with spiritual charm. It can greatly shorten the time it takes for spiritual fish to mature."

"At that time, the spring grass, fire-feathered chickens, and spirit fish in the courtyard will work together to harvest spiritual energy..."

Expanding the channels of spiritual energy will further increase the speed of cultivation advancement.

Furthermore, with the mid-grade second-tier [White Cloud Spirit-Nourishing Robe] concealing his simulated aura, the cultivators in the market would only think that Lü Ping was a mere 'Qi Refining Level 4 cultivator'.

......

The next morning.

Without delay, Lü Ping exchanged a spirit stone for the [Cloud Water Mist Concealment Array]'s spiritual power source, then instructed Da Huang to take good care of the Fire Feather Chicken before heading towards the inner city of the market.

along the way.

The restlessness that occurred during the second phase of the initial development has changed.

Rumors, of unknown origin, circulated in the market about the setbacks in the frontier reclamation efforts and the injuries and even deaths of many independent cultivators, including members of the Li family.

The whole market was in a state of panic, and the relatives of the pioneering cultivators were worried day and night, unable to even take care of their usual meditation and cultivation.

Lu Ping took in the eerie atmosphere of the market, but did not stop walking. He arrived at a shop called "Complete Spirit Beast Shop".

It is said that the owner of this spirit beast shop was named Qi Quan, hence the name.

The shop occupies a large area and has all kinds of spirit beast cubs, including those that run in the mountains, such as the Wind Chasing Dog and Fire Feather Chicken, those that swim in the lake, and those that fly in the sky, which can be described as complete from land, sea and air.

"Fellow Daoist, my name is Qi Quan, and I am the owner of this spirit beast shop. May I ask what you need?"

Qi Quan approached, carrying a puppy with fangs that were just beginning to emerge and a slightly fierce look. He greeted the puppy with a gentle tone and a smile.

"Yes, I am Lü Ping, Fellow Daoist Qi."

"I want to buy a few spirit fish, preferably those with a short breeding cycle and a docile temperament."

"Another point is that the meat is delicious..."

The reason Lü Ping added the last request was entirely for Da Huang's sake. That silly dog ​​had been harmed by Lei Mingmu for a long time, and the promised snow toad meat slices had been delayed.

Considering Dahuang's past hard work and contributions, it's time to reward it.

"Fellow Daoist Lü, your arrival is perfectly timed. Just now, a few jade carp were delivered to my shop."

Led by Qi Quan, Lü Ping saw the jade carp.

Several jade carp are swimming in the pool, named for their body color resembling light blue jade.

"This jade carp is a low-grade first-order spirit fish, and it meets Fellow Daoist Lü's requirements in every way."

"Especially in terms of meat quality."

"Ahem, Fellow Daoist Qi, please don't misunderstand. I bought this jade carp entirely because I have a greedy dog ​​named Chasing Wind at home."

Upon hearing this, Qi Quan feigned sudden realization.

"I understand, I understand."

"One jade carp costs one and a half low-grade spirit stones. I have seven in total. If Fellow Daoist Lü wants them all, I'll give you ten low-grade spirit stones."

Lu Ping paid ten low-grade spirit stones and left the "Complete Spirit Beast Shop" with the jade carp.

Qi Quan stroked the jet-black puppy in his arms, still wearing that "I understand, I understand" expression...
