Chapter 2 Celestial Continent, young monk
The continent he lives in this life is called the Tianji Continent. Its territory is vast and has a population of hundreds of millions of miles, with a population of no less than 100 million creatures. The technology here is not developed, but such a wide and generous land and a huge population base have greatly promoted the prosperity and development of the world of cultivation.
The language of Tianji Continent is different from that of Chinese, but the characters used are almost the same as those of Chinese traditional Chinese. I don’t know why. The family he reincarnated also has the surname Li, his father’s name is Li Tiezhu, and his mother Wang Xiaohua are all vulgar names that are no longer vulgar. They even gave themselves the name of Li Xiaobao. This is a good name that his father Li Tiezhu thought of breaking his head.
When he was seven or eight years old, Li Tianze was about to go to school. However, the Li family was poor and could not afford to go to school. He had three sisters in his family, which was even worse than his family in his previous life. However, Li Tianze had memories of his previous life and did not forget Chinese characters. He usually pretended to chase others and learned to recognize words. When the time came, he changed his name back and called him Li Tianze again. His parents in this life were also very happy, and he felt sorry for him and had no ability to let him study.
However, Li Tianzezhi was not studying or practicing martial arts, but practicing immortality and enlightenment.
When Li Tianze knew that there were cultivators on this continent, he was also shocked. But thinking about how he had even seen King Yama, he was no longer surprised. However, cultivators had high magic power, could fly to the sky and escape, and could even ascend to immortality and be immortal forever.
He was a short-lived ghost in his previous life, and in this life he vowed to be a person who pursues immortals and seeks the way, and live with heaven and earth.
If you want to cultivate the truth, you need to have spiritual roots, but those with spiritual roots are thousands of miles away. However, as long as you have spiritual roots on the Tianji Continent, you will have the opportunity to go to the road to cultivation of immortals, because this is a continent where mortals and cultivators live together. It is common for cultivators to worship a master. The town where he was born is called Wangshui Town, with a population of tens of thousands, and there are also several cultivators who are respected as elders by the residents of the town and enjoy the offerings of the people.
On this continent where people are proud of cultivating immortals and attaining enlightenment, the only opportunity for mortals to change their destiny is to cultivate their destiny. It seems that everyone dreamed of taking the prestigious university in their previous life. In their previous life, Li Tianze did not get into college. After graduating from high school, he started as a small vendor and trained a good word. Unfortunately, he was overwhelmed before he made a name for himself.
At the age of twelve, it can be detected whether there are spiritual roots. Children of the right age in the town are carrying gifts and running around, hoping to leap into the dragon gate and become immortal masters. Of course, Li Tianze is no exception.
That day he went out with two big roosters to become a master, but it was quite embarrassing to choose which one to be a master. There are five cultivators in Wangshui Town. Of course, he hopes to choose a master with a profound Taoist craftsmanship. After thinking about it, he decided to go to the house of Wu Maochun to become a master, because other immortal masters have rarely seen it, and Elder Wu often flew in the sky with flying swords, maybe he had two brushes, otherwise he would not dare to come out and be proud.
The Wu family has a large courtyard with many descendants, but there are no ones with spiritual roots among the children of the Wu family, so Old Wu also wants to take an apprentice, but it is difficult to find someone with spiritual roots.
Li Tianze handed the big rooster to the butler of the Wu family. He heard that he was here to become a disciple, but Li Tianze could easily meet Elder Wu and conducted a spiritual root test.
Fortunately, he actually has spiritual roots, and there is no shortage of five elements, including gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. The advantage is that he can learn any attribute of magic. But the more spiritual roots, the lower the speed of absorbing spiritual energy. He is the lowest qualification. But Elder Wu still accepted him, taught him how to practice exercises, and taught him regularly.
Because Li Tianze became a cultivator, his parents received a large amount of rewards from Elder Wu, and the Li family suddenly turned from an ordinary farmer to a wealthy family in the town. It was just like one person getting it, and the chickens and dogs ascend to heaven, which made Li Tianze’s parents in this life very happy.
In theory, Li Tianze's fate in this life was quite good, but he was still not satisfied. He gradually learned about some things in the world of cultivation as his master practiced, and his vision gradually became broader.
There are sects of cultivation in the realm of cultivation, and there are also family of cultivation. There are also some casual cultivators. Most of the casual cultivators have low cultivation levels and lack cultivation resources. They are at the most vulgar level in the realm of cultivation.
The monks in the town are all casual cultivators with low magic power and poor cultivation qualifications. Although they are highly respected in the town, they are indeed at the bottom of the cultivation world, especially most of them are about to end their lives and have done nothing in this life.
Li Tianze didn't want to be like them, and gradually became unwilling to live in this small town and be an unknown casual cultivator.
Time flies, and years pass by, and in a blink of an eye, three years pass.
After the development of the Li family in recent years, they have accumulated a hundred acres of fertile land and have accumulated a lot of savings. The farmyard in the past has become a beautiful Li Mansion house. In a small house in the backyard of the Li Mansion, a young man was sitting cross-legged. This person is Li Tianze, who has been practicing for three years. Seeing his dignified postures, he has grown into a graceful young man.
At this time, he was moving from the first level of Qi Refining to the second level of Qi Refining. After a few hours, Li Tianze finally opened his eyes and successfully advanced. The sea of Qi in the dantian doubled, but Li Tianze did not have much joy. You should know that the Qi Refining Period is only the lowest level of the lower realm. The lower realm is divided into five levels of Qi refining, foundation building, elixir formation, Nascent Soul, and God Transformation. In addition, there are three stages of the middle realm returning to the emptiness, fusion, and Mahayana. When it reaches the upper realm, there is only the stage of tribulation. Each stage is divided into ten levels, the first, second and third levels are the early stage, the fourth, fifth and sixth levels are the midst stage, the seventh, eight or nineth levels are the late stage, and the tenth levels are called Great Perfection.
The immortal journey is far away and every step is difficult. Most of the monks are wandering in the low realm. Those who can reach the middle realm are usually arrogant people from major sects, and those who can overcome the tribulation and ascension are even more talked about.
The lower the qualifications, the more likely the bottleneck of cultivation. Once you get stuck in the bottleneck of cultivation, you can only wait until your life is exhausted. For example, his master is stuck in the bottleneck of the top of the ninth level of Qi refining. If you reach the tenth level of great perfection, you can still join some small sects and have the opportunity to obtain spiritual pills to break through to the foundation-building stage.
These common sense of cultivation were told by his master, Elder Wu. Elder Wu, who usually does not go to the town to find some spiritual herbs or hunt down some low-priced spirit beasts to exchange for some spirit stones and training resources. Li Tianze's cultivation level is low and even some ordinary beasts cannot fight, so Elder Wu will not take him out.
Li Tianze got up and walked out of the house, looked up at the sky. It was night, and the stars were dazzling, like bright lights. A bright moon hung in the sky above the eastern sky, emitting a faint halo, as if smiling at him.
The night on Tianji Continent is a bit more beautiful than on the earth. The poem says: Look up at the bright moon and look down on the hometown. He has spent fifteen years on Tianji Continent, but he misses his family on the earth even more. He doesn’t know if his parents are still alive in his previous life and how they live. He has not been able to fulfill his filial piety in his previous life, so he can be self-serving and respectful to his parents in this life.
While thinking about it, Li Tianze finally found an old man with a young man with a crane hair and a young face flying from afar. He stopped in the sky above the courtyard. The man stepped on a shining fairy sword, wearing a blue Taoist robe, and was gently stroking the silver beard under his forehead with his hands, nodding and smiling at him.
This person was the elder Wu Maochun, who led him into the immortal gate.
Li Tianze hurriedly saluted and said, "Greetings to Master, I just want to go to the mansion to pay my respects tomorrow. You are here now."
Wu Maochun descended from the air, landed in front of Li Tianze, put away the flying sword, Zhan Yan said, "You boy's cultivation has improved, and your etiquette has begun to be comprehensive. However, he is still slick. As soon as his master returned from out, he found out that you have improved your cultivation before he returned home. He just came to give you some advice."
Li Tianze hurriedly invited his master into the house and waited for his master to sit down, and he stood respectfully, as if he was preparing to listen to the teachings.
Elder Wu was stunned when he saw this scene, and thought to himself that this kid had never used this before, and he might have had some plans again.
If you say that the wealth of Li Tianze's family is thanked by Elder Wu, he is indeed full of gratitude, but he was a businessman in his previous life, and he was a wise man in his mind. Every time he gets along with his master, he has to seek some benefits from the other party. Of course, the so-called benefits are not yellow and white.
Elder Wu coughed. Of course, the monk had spiritual energy to protect his body. Of course, it was not because he had a cold or sick, but because he was nervous. He was a little scared by this kid. He could not give it to him, but this disciple's verbal skills were really strong.
"I have gained something from my master this time. I have nothing to give to you this time. But if you want to talk about some cultivation experience, I can still tell you." I am so strong that I am embarrassed to speak out when I say this sentence. Elder Wu is also very smart.
"The disciple has not used up the spirit stones that Master gave in the past, so I have something else to ask for."
Have something else to ask for? It’s not because of the elixir, Elder Wu felt nervous. But the master still had to put on his airs and said, “If you have any questions about cultivation, just say it.” Elder Wu is also an experienced figure. This sentence turned the topic to cultivation, avoiding topics such as spiritual stone elixirs far away.
In fact, Elder Wu still loves Li Tianze very much, but the landlord family has no spares. The cultivation resources are very important to the monks, and he also hopes to make a breakthrough before his life spans.
If you say that Li Tianze really didn't have the intention to ask his master for help today, he just said sincerely: "I want to go to the market with Master to experience it. I have been practicing every day for three years and I am very bored. And if I have the ability in the future, I can support myself and not lose my reputation."
Elder Wu finally breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that this was a good thing, so he decided to agree to him, but he also instructed: "It's not impossible to take you to travel and turn it over, but on the way, you have to listen to your master and not fight with others. You must know that the cold-blooded and cruel feelings in the cultivation world, and if you can't say a word, you may lose your life."
Li Tianze quickly promised to say yes.
Afterwards, Li Tianze asked his master for some small questions about his practice, so he cooked a few delicious side dishes for his master. He said that Li Tianze's parents in his previous life opened a restaurant and learned some cooking skills himself. In addition, a pot of fine wine and master and apprentice also drank it.
