September is already autumn. After saying goodbye to the hot summer, Duanyue City gradually cools down, but this does not have any special feeling for most monks in the city.

Day after day, the spiritual energy is drawn into the body again and again, slowly polishing and tempering one's body. The life of a monk gradually changes through such continuous practice, becoming more and more distant from ordinary mortals. After gaining power far superior to mortals and having a longer life span, many mortals also quietly lose the fragile or sensitive feelings that many mortals have.

Without the feeling of cold and warmth, we will naturally not pay too much attention to the changes in spring, summer, autumn and winter, and we will no longer feel sad about spring and autumn. However, there is one exception. Although the lifespan of monks will be longer than that of ordinary mortals, and as the level of cultivation increases, the upper limit of the lifespan of monks will continue to increase, all monks in the world still attach great importance to this point of time.

No one is not afraid of death, especially after glimpsing the secrets of the great way of cultivation and knowing the vision that can live longer or even become immortals for immortality, and trying every means to improve the realm and Taoism, it has become the common instinct of all monks in the world. However, there are countless monks in the world who really make their debut. How many people are leading the community on the great way of cultivation?

The so-called pride of heaven or genius, in the final analysis, only a very small part of the lucky people who are uniquely grateful for nature, and most of them are still ordinary after all.

However, ordinary people may not have an ordinary heart. Since the human race practiced Taoism, it has been ten thousand years since the human race has been practicing Taoism. There have been countless vicissitudes in the world over the long years. On the way of practicing Taoism, there have been countless turbulent stories that have been passed down by word of mouth or recorded in books and classics. If ordinary people want to ascend to heaven, this road will definitely be tortuous and difficult, but there are many people who have succeeded from it.

Ordinary talents can be changed with external forces. All things are born with mysterious creations, so naturally there are heavenly and earth treasures in the world. The legend of those who have great fortune and great opportunities to reach the sky and become famous in one go has been circulated in countless monks, especially the large number of casual cultivators.

Maybe the next one is yourself?

Therefore, in history, cultivators, especially casual cultivators, have rarely been trapped in one place to practice behind closed doors. First, they do not have the support of the sect’s spiritual crystals, so they naturally cannot guarantee their cultivation. Second, the various spiritual resources required for cultivation are also needed to search for them in the wilderness.

Specifically, the truth is the same as Shen Shi is now in Duanyue City. Many monks gathered in the city, and they are often very lively every day. Many of them, especially most of the casual cultivators, actually have similar days. They set off from Duanyue City to several treasure lands with rich spiritual materials around them, search for spiritual materials and hunt monsters, and then return to the city after getting the harvest. Then they sell them in various shops to exchange for the spiritual crystals or other materials needed for cultivation. Then they continue to repeat such days, and work hard to practice hard in the process, slowly improving their own Taoist realm.

That’s right, the days of a casual cultivator are so difficult. Compared with those monks from famous families or sects, it is a world of difference, but when has this world been truly fair?

Maybe I can only blame myself for not being able to give birth to a good birth. Since that is the case, I can only look forward to climbing up desperately in this life, hoping for a day that will make a name for myself.

So when Chen Shi walked out of the gate of Duanyue City, he also saw a large number of casual cultivators walking together in groups or walking alone, but when everyone set off, their expressions were full of hope and expectation.

Looking at them, Chen Shi suddenly felt that his mood had improved a lot. He looked up and narrowed his eyes slightly. Looking at the vast autumn fields, the little black pig running around with his lively and excitedly, he also merged into the crowd, walked away, and disappeared into the sea of ​​people.

※※※

Before leaving the city, Chen Shi, who was cautious by nature, asked others in the city. The answer he got was exactly the same as what the inn boss He said. There were indeed only four places around Duanyue City that produced spiritual materials.

Taking the little black pig along the way, Chen Shi pondered in his heart. The main reason for him leaving the city this time was that he was still worried about the Xuanjian Gate. Although he could not judge what the Xuanjian Gate had discovered and was about to search for him because of Boss He's words, Chen Shi was really unwilling to have any accidents before returning to Lingxiao Sect, so he simply went out of the city to hide. Anyway, he could meet and meet with the Lingxiao Sect if he had just waited for another four days. At that time, although Xuanjian Gate was powerful, he could still be better than the Lingxiao Sect, which is ranked among the four righteous in the world?

By the way, it feels different to lean on a particularly powerful backer.

Chen Shi secretly smiled with a little self-deprecating smile in his heart, and then he thought about where he should go. Since he left the city, he would go to the nearby places with abundant spiritual materials, which is a by-product. Anyway, he was idle. If he could bring some spiritual materials such as spiritual grass, spirit stones or monster bodies before returning to Lingxiao Sect, it would be useful. As long as you pay attention to it, don't provoke some particularly powerful monsters or go to some dangerous places, there will naturally be no big risks.

According to what Boss He said, Wohu Mountain has been occupied by Xuanjian Sect. Now Shen Shi is hiding this sect, so he naturally stays away from it. The position of the Gray Lizard Forest seems to be the place where Qian Yi fought to the death before, and it cannot be passed. Yingfu Ridge is steep and there are many monsters, and it is said that it is the most dangerous among the four places. Chen Shi gave up after thinking about it for a while. After all, he just walked around and tried his best to kill time in the past few days, and there is no need to take too much risk.

Then the last remaining Yinyue Lake is the most suitable place. Since spiritual herbs are produced, there are monsters appearing in it, and the area is quite large. As long as it does not go deep into the depths of the lake, according to the past statements left by the casual cultivators, some of the monsters on the periphery are ordinary low-level monsters, which should not be considered particularly dangerous.

Thinking of this, the result was very clear, and Chen Shi didn't hesitate too much and walked towards Yinyue Lake with the little pig.

Along the way, the crowds of wandering cultivators who left the city gradually dispersed, especially after getting off the road and entering the dense wilderness where weeds were overgrown, many wandering cultivators deliberately or unintentionally set apart. Many people, especially monks who looked a little weak in the Taoist practice, gradually became a little vigilant on their faces.

When Chen Shi walked on this field, he naturally noticed this scene. After frowned slightly, he thought of this place in his heart. It seems that the risks may not necessarily come from those fierce monsters.

However, since I have come here, I naturally have no reason to go back to the city. Moreover, Chen Shi is a little confident in himself. After all, he has spent three years licking blood from the demon world. In addition, there are the Five Elements Skills and dozens of talismans in the Ruyi bag to protect him. At least he should be protected without any major problems.

As we walked along, we could see that the number of monks who came out of Duanyue City was the largest to visit Yinyue Lake. Obviously, the environment there was the most suitable monks to explore and find spiritual materials. However, this wilderness was very large and seemed to be a large number of monks. After scattered into the wilderness, everyone soon became more and more dispersed, and gradually they could no longer see the figures around them.

Chen Shi naturally had no intention of getting too close to other monks. In fact, this dispersion was more in line with his intentions. His Taoist practice was just average in realm. Although he started practicing with spiritual crystals in the inn in the six days after returning to the human world, it was obviously not a matter of hesitation to break through the threshold of the Condensing Yuan Realm. At least he did not feel any sign of breakthrough in the past few days.

On the contrary, perhaps because he had not practiced for too long, when Chen Shi first introduced his spirit into his body, his body still had a little resistance to the spiritual power in the spirit crystal. It felt a bit like the backlash he encountered when he first started practicing, and it was a bit painful. However, after Chen Shi persisted for a while, when his body gradually adapted to the spirit crystal again, the feeling quickly disappeared.

Perhaps, you will have to wait until you return to Lingxiao Sect to try to break through the Condensation Yuan Realm.

Chen Shi thought about this in his heart, and looked around, there was indeed no one. Only the little black pig was locked in the inn for several days. At this moment, he came to the wilderness and looked very excited, running around in the grass.

After walking for a while, Chen Shi suddenly felt that the moisture in the air seemed to be a little louder, and the wind blowing towards him seemed to be a little cooler. It seemed that it was a little closer to the Yinyue Lake. Chen Shi was excited. Although he wanted to take a look at it before coming, when he really arrived, he had a natural yearning for various spiritual materials due to the instinct of every monk.

But at this moment, a deep roar suddenly came from the weeds in front of me, and then I remembered the sound of several weapons hitting them, as if someone was fighting.

Chen Shi paused, stood up, and his brows frowned. He looked around. This place should be quite far away from the outside of Yinyue Lake. Why did the monks fight so far away?

The little black pig ran to his feet, suddenly raised his head and sniffed it into the sky, then tilted his head and hummed twice in front.

Chen Shi looked down at the little black pig, and saw that the direction it called seemed to be where the sound of the battle came.

After pondering for a while, Chen Shi shook his head, still not wanting to cause trouble, and said to Xiao Heizhu: "Let's go around."

The little black pig looked up at him, as if he didn't understand it very much. Chen Shi was too lazy to explain, so he took the little black pig around and continued to walk forward.

I was only halfway through the way. The fighting sounded much less, but unexpectedly, after a while, I suddenly heard a commotion in that direction, and the figures flashed, one after another, rushing towards Chen Shi and the little black pig.

Chen Shi stopped in shock and turned around to look. Not long after, a tall cultivator rushed over, looking embarrassed, with a look of panic, holding a knife in one hand and holding a spiritual grass in the other hand, and running all the way. After a while, another cultivator chased after him, with a yellow face without expression, but a murderous aura in his eyes.

The tall casual cultivator who was running away was in a panic. At first glance, he saw Chen Shi standing aside with a surprised face. There seemed to be a strange black pig beside him. He didn't think so much, and hurriedly shouted: "Help, help!"

Chen Shi had never known these two people, and he didn't know what disputes they had, and how could they get involved. Hearing this, he not only did not step forward, but instead took a few steps back.

The tall casual cultivator's Taoism was obviously not high, at least worse than the murderous and yellow cultivator behind him. He was about to be caught up, and in a hurry, he couldn't care so much, but he turned around and rushed towards Chen Shi.

Chen Shi and the monk who was chasing behind frowned at the same time. No one could see that this guy was desperate and wanted to pull into the battle group first to win some chance of survival for himself.

Chen Shi also had a hint of anger, but at this moment, he couldn't help but think too much. When he subconsciously wanted to continue to let go and avoid this inexplicable battle, the little black pig suddenly shouted at the monk rushing over, his eyes bright, but he stared at the spiritual herb that the monk was holding.

Chen Shi was stunned for a moment, his steps slowed down slightly, and the monk had already escaped to the front. At the same time, a trace of grimness flashed across his face. He strode past Shen Shi, but he suddenly pushed Shen Shi's body with his backhand, intending to push the man behind him to block the pursuers. As for whether Shen Shi was dead or alive, he didn't care at all.

But just when the lightning was shining, just as Shen Shi narrowed his eyes slightly and there was a talisman in his right palm, which was hanging beside him, suddenly a knife tip suddenly emerged from the monk's chest, and blood suddenly splashed and fell.

The monk's body trembled, as if all his strength had disappeared in an instant. He staggered for a few steps, turned around and turned around with difficulty, pointed to the withered cultivator behind him, and said with a hissing: "You...you are just for this spiritual herb..."

The monk with a yellow face came over, pulled out the blade that was inserted behind him, kicked him to the ground with another kick, then grabbed his palm, spread his fingers, and snatched the spirit herb. A fierce grin appeared on his face, and said coldly: "That's right, your life is not as good as this spirit herb!"

Chen Shi stood aside and watched the bloody and naked fight between the two monks, and his eyes twitched slightly. This was the first time in his life that he had really seen the fierce and cruel competition among monks outside the wilderness, and life and death were only between the front lines. In comparison, his past days on the Qingyu Island of Lingxiao Sect was extremely comfortable.

What is the difference between the scene in front of you and the battle between the demon clans you have seen in the demon world for three years?

After killing the tall monk, the yellow monk behind him did not stop. Instead, he began to search for his body in front of Shen Shi. Then he found a few more spiritual crystals in pieces, but there were no other spiritual materials. From this, it can be imagined that the tall monk in front should be a frustrated frustrated cultivator.

Putting the few spirit crystals into his arms, the yellow monk slowly stood up and turned to look at Chen Shi. After carefully looking at the young man, he confirmed that this person was just a cultivator in Qi Refining Realm. He didn't know that he had a murderous spirit or was trying to kill someone to silence him. His cold face slowly showed a grin on his cold face. Looking at Chen Shi was like looking at a fat pig waiting to be slaughtered. He lifted the blade in his hand, and blood was dripping from the blade.

The wind in the field blew gently, with a bit of moistness, but for some reason it made people feel a hint of coolness. Chen Shi looked at the scene ahead coldly, looking at the monk who showed his murderous intent, although he had never known each other but had a fierce look on his face.

Perhaps, this is the real cruel side of the bottom of the cultivation world that he didn't know in the past.

He looked at the murderous monk, suddenly smiled faintly, and then said calmly:

"You want to kill me, too?"
