A black-colored sacked boat drifting in the misty river.

The lakes and mountains on both sides are beautiful and sparse in the water, reflecting the green peaks. When you raft through the boat, it is as beautiful as a slowly unfolding painting of immortals.

Over the past year, Su Chen and Annu have wandered around the world, seeking the fate of immortals.

Following the topographic map of the mountains and rivers of the Tang Dynasty, I traveled all over the mountains and rivers.

Seeing the prosperous Tang Dynasty city and the bustling tea and horse road, walking through secluded and remote ancient villages, rarely visited deep mountains and ancient monuments, looking for the whereabouts of Chaoge Fairy City, and inquiring about the traces of immortals.

Unfortunately, I have learned a lot of stories about immortals circulating among the people, and I have also found traces left by other immortal cultivators.

But when asked about the people around, everyone was confused and unaware of where the fairy trail was.

Following the topographic map of the earth, mountains and rivers in the Tang Dynasty left by the Hanshan Zhenren, Su Chen went to famous mountains and rivers everywhere, searching hard, wasted a year, but failed to discover anything.

In a blink of an eye, Su Chen had walked nearly two-thirds of the Tang Dynasty map.

Those densely populated secular and prosperous cities are basically excluded and cannot be the location of Chaoge Fairy City. There are only the rare mountains and rivers, or there are a few traces to find, hiding the ethereal Chaoge Fairy City.

The road to finding immortals is as difficult as the sky.

The fairy path is vague and there is nowhere to be found.

...

Last night, a storm suddenly broke out, and the river water rose a lot. The cables of the black-sailed boat were moored on the trees on the river bank to hide from the wind and waves.

This morning, it finally became clear, and the sky was cloudless.

On the small stove in front of the boat, rice porridge was boiled, and a pot of light rice wine was warmed next to it.

Annu held a fishing rod in hand and was fishing in the Chuhe River, preparing for breakfast. After breakfast, it was easy to set off.

The journey of searching for immortals is long. Although you can enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way and are quite poetic and picturesque, it is still very hard.

Not to mention that she is a secular mortal, she still needs food, clothing, housing and transportation. Even if a qi-refining immortal cultivator like Su Chen cannot fast or dust, she will still be unable to avoid these things.

When you pass through a prosperous city, it’s nothing. You can do everything like food, clothing, housing, transportation, etc. by spending a little money, without having to work hard in person.

But in the wilderness where people are rarely visited, the conditions are much worse, and everything can only be done by yourself.

Chop firewood, make fire, cook, and wash everything.

Firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar are all easy to deal with. I bought it in the city along the way and prepared a lot on the sauna boat. However, fresh dishes cannot be stored for a long time, so I can only fish on the road, or pick mushrooms, mountain fruits, pheasants, rabbits and so on on the shore.

Along the way, she took good care of Su Chen's diet and daily life.

Su Chen was born in a fisherman's family and was used to doing everything by himself when he was young, so he was naturally not used to Anu's careful care.

He didn't let Anu do these things.

But she refused.

She was an orphan since she was a child. After suffering all her hardships, she naturally would not be afraid of hardship.

However, in the past seven or eight years in Yanyulou, Li's mother did not let her do any work in order to cultivate her delicate spirit and prevent her from doing anything. She was almost a drop of cold water without touching it. She had not personally touched cold water for many years, washed clothes, and her fingers were as delicate as jade onions.

Now she is following Su Chen to find the immortals, and she is the one who does the idle things along the way.

"Fishing, washing clothes, cooking with fire, these are things that ordinary people do every day, and Anu can do them naturally."

"Anu followed the young master to find the immortal fate. This little hard work is nothing."

Anu spent a little time every day to finish these tasks.

When I have nothing to do, I occasionally play a guqin on the bow of the boat. The empty and quiet sound of the piano echoes between the valleys, and the boating among the rivers, but I am also leisurely and at ease.

Su Chen advised him several times, but he couldn't persuade him, so he could only let her go.

...

Inside the stoon boat.

Su Chen spent several hours a day meditating and practicing the "Xiaoyaoyou: The Eternal Flyings". Other times are mostly spent studying his previous spiritual talismans, the "White Lotus Spiritual Sutra", and those spiritual objects.

When Su Chen was practicing, he breathed in one breath and sucked dozens of floating spiritual particles that were invisible to the naked eye within a radius of several feet around him into his body, cultivated into vital energy, nourishing and strengthening the vital spirit.

He has traveled many places this year and found that in a place with few people in mountains, rivers and rivers, the concentration of spiritual energy is at least three or four times higher than that of the bustling and lively city.

In some steep mountains and ridges, clouds and mists, it can even be more than ten times higher. Practicing in such places all year round is ten times higher.

No wonder, immortal cultivators prefer famous mountains and rivers and do not want to stay in the bustling city of bustling cities.

Su Chen also discovered that in the same place, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth will undergo extremely obvious changes as the sun and the moon change.

When the light of the harsh sun shines on the earth at noon, the yang spiritual energy is prosperous, dozens of times higher than usual.

Su Chen felt that the spiritual energy was rich under the fierce sun, so he tried to absorb it. As soon as he sucked it into his body, it was like a ray of yang fire burning, almost burning by the spiritual energy.

At midnight every day, especially on the full moon night every month, the spiritual energy at this time seems extremely cold and very rich.

He tried to draw spiritual energy into the full moon and immediately felt a sensation of coldness coming. In just a short moment, his whole body was covered in coldness and trembling.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth in these two times is very strong, but it seems that one is too strong and the other is too cold, which is not suitable for absorption and practice. After trying it a few times, he no longer dares to absorb the spiritual energy between heaven and earth in these two times.

Only in the early morning and evening, without the heat of the storm and cold moon, can we absorb it. At this time, the floating spiritual energy between heaven and earth appears gentle.

Su Chen has practiced "Xiaoyaoyou: The Eternal Flyings" for a year and has a deeper understanding of the Qi Refining Stage realm and the cultivation techniques of immortals. The Qi Refining Stage realm can be roughly divided into the early, middle and late stages. Of course, it can also be divided into nine levels more carefully.

There are only three levels of magic tricks in the "Cymbiosis Chapter": the first trick "Dormant Skill", the second trick "Metamorphosis Skill", and the third trick "Father Transformation Skill".

The only thing that can be used for daily practice is the first technique, "Dormant Art". It draws free spiritual energy from the world, part of which is used to cultivate the soul, and the other part is accumulated in the body.

The two magic tricks that follow are not methods of cultivation, but methods of use.

The Transformation Art will actively stimulate the vital energy stored in the body. Once stimulated, it will allow the cultivator to quickly transform and improve his realm.

Every time the transformation occurs, the strength will increase sharply by a small level of cultivation.

When you have practiced the third level of Qi Refining Stage, you can transform once and upgrade to the fourth level of Qi Refining Stage in a short time.

At the sixth level of Qi Refining Stage, you can transform twice and upgrade to the eighth level of Qi Refining Stage.

At the ninth level of Qi Refining Stage, you can transform three times and upgrade to the rare twelfth level of Qi Refining Stage.

In other words, as your cultivation level improves, this metamorphosis technique can transform up to three times and reach the ultimate state of Qi Refining.

Of course, whether to transform or not, you will decide this entirely by yourself. It’s okay not to transform.

After completing the third transformation, you can also inspire the "Ferve Transformation Skill". Once you are eternal, your cultivation level will be greatly increased in a very short period of time.

Of course, this process is irreversible. The immortal cultivator who practices "The Eternal Art of Freedom" can only perform this once in his life.

Su Chenguang was shocked when he read the introduction of these three magic tricks in "Xiaoyaoyou: The Eternal Candles", and he knew that the two magic tricks behind should be very powerful.

But what is troublesome is that the first trick is "Dormant".

The reason why the dormant technique is called "dormant" means that the realm will improve very slowly. Only part of the vital energy cultivated on weekdays is absorbed by the vital spirit, and the rest of the vital energy is stored in the body.

Since Su Chen entered the Qi Refining Stage to cultivate immortality, he has been practicing "The Eternal Chapter" for nearly a year.

During this year, the "Green Lotus Yuanshen" in Lingshan still did not change much, and it was still in the first level of the Qi Refining Period, and the first Yuanshen leaf increased by about one-tenth.

According to his current cultivation speed, it is estimated that it will take at least ten years to complete the first level of the Qi Refining Stage and grow the second soul leaf.

The subsequent Qi Refining Stage is becoming increasingly difficult to practice and improve.

If this continues, he may have spent his whole life, and he may only be able to upgrade to the third level of Qi Refining Stage, and at most, the fourth level of cultivation.

"This is too slow to practice. Under normal circumstances, I am afraid that at most I can reach the middle stage of Qi Refining in this life, I can't cultivate the ninth level of Qi Refining in the Qi Refining Realm at all... I wonder how other immortal cultivators practice?"

This made Su Chen quite troubled.

But he knew too little about the common sense of cultivating immortals.

It is still necessary to find Chaoge Immortal City as soon as possible to see how other immortal cultivators practice and learn from it to have a way to solve this problem.

...

In the early morning, Su Chen closed his eyes and meditated for two hours. He noticed that Anu was making a fire outside the tent, and his heart moved.

This year, the two of them searched everywhere. Although they could not find traces of other immortals, they did not find the whereabouts of Chaoge Fairy City.

But there are some gains.

Su Chen's mastery of immortal cultivation skills is undoubtedly much stronger.

When he had time, he helped Annu to replenish blood and qi-replenishing medicinal materials for body tempering and cultivation. He took one pair of them in five or six days.

With his current level of cultivation in the Qi Refining Stage, his divine consciousness is far stronger than before. With these secular people using medicinal materials, he has already reached the peak of his peak. He has specially tailored it, and each dose of medicine can have the greatest effect on Anu's dantian cultivation.

Anu has also made considerable progress.

Anu also practiced from a third-rate warrior in the lower dantian. In just one year, he reached the early stage of the middle dantian. Among secular warriors, he was considered a higher level of cultivation.

Once the realm of the Dantian is improved, the true energy is strong and the power is powerful in every move. Picking flowers and flying leaves can also hurt the enemy.

Anu was chopping firewood to make fire. When he was picking it up, he accidentally stabbed his hand by the thorn of dry firewood. He pierced a small spot of blood. He exhaled lightly, frowned and blew his hands.

After raising the fire, she cleaned the fish she caught, put it in a pot, sprinkled some oil, salt and fragrant seasonings, and stewed a pot of fresh fish soup.

Then, she took a few clothes for changing clothes, rubbed them in the biting cold river water, and beat them with wooden sticks, and her delicate little hands were frozen red in the water.

Not long after, Su Chen lifted the curtain and came outside the tent.
