After many hardships, Shen Ruiling finally returned to the offshore waters. Although he encountered several dangers, was attacked by monsters and encountered bad weather, he saved himself from danger by relying on the map in his hand.

    Near Hushang square, Shen Ruiling covered his face with a black hat. He didn''t want others to know he was back.

    Shen Ruiling doesn''t know whether the Wuji sect will fight for an external disciple, but as long as he goes to the casual cultivation alliance to check, he can know that he went out of the sea with a man surnamed Chu. Now he comes back alone, he will certainly be regarded as a murderer. What''s more, he is related to the strange black lotus, so Shen Ruiling didn''t reveal his identity.

    Fortunately, most of the scattered repairs also wear hats, which makes Shen Ruiling not seem strange.

    Shen Ruiling enters his shop and goes straight to the inner hall.

    "You''ve been here for more than half a year. How can you come back dressed like this?" Shen huanqun looked at Shen Ruiling who took off his hat and said.

    It took Shen Ruiling an hour to tell Shen huanqun the whole story.

    "What, you went to the open sea?" Shen huanqun was in a hurry.

    Then I heard a series of strange things. Rao was a worldly monk like Shen huanqun, who was stunned.

    When he heard that the last man was actually a disciple of Wuji sect, he was even more worried and said:

    "This kind of friar with great Qi practice should also be the candidate for building the foundation in Wuji sect. There will certainly be the soul lamp of this life. Once it goes out, Wuji sect will send someone to check it."

    Shen huanqun pondered for a moment and said:

    "Well, you leave Hushang square and return to the clan land immediately. You can''t stay here. As long as you go back to the Dao clan, our family is also a vassal family of Qingyun clan. With the protection of the clan leader, the Wuji sect will not be afraid to trouble you at that time. "

    He is worthy of being a veteran in the immortal world. After panic, he arranged it in an orderly manner.

    "Sneak back to the cave to pack your things. You will go back to the clan''s place with several people tonight. Take the lotus seed you got back to the patriarch. Wait until the wind passes and see if you can refine it. "

    Then he asked Shen Ruiling to leave and began to decorate himself.

    Shen Ruiling returned to the cave. The cave was still the same as before. Shen Ruiling took the three animal eggs placed on the spirit cave and felt it. The vitality was stronger. Shen Ruiling estimated that they might hatch in another month. If he came back a month late, the three animal eggs would be ruined.

    Shen Ruiling cleaned up the elixir in Lingtian again. Looking at the cave where he had lived for six years, he felt a little reluctant to give up.

    Shen Ruiling took back the "four image inverted array" guarding the entrance and walked towards his shop.

    At night, at the back door of the Shen family''s shop, a group of people were preparing. The frames were transported to the ox cart one by one, and three iron backed bulls pulled the cart. After busy, the team began to walk towards the city gate.

    In the car,

    "Zhao Jie, why are you here?" Shen Ruiling saw the smelter he had recruited.

    "Elder brother Shen, the second elder asked me to go back with you. I don''t want to come either. I still have a lot of materials that haven''t been refined. " Zhao Jie said reluctantly.

    "It''s all right, it''s all right. There are third-order materials in the family library, and second-order materials are enough for you to refine." Shen Ruiling smiled and comforted.

    Shen huanqun, who was sitting in front of him, turned around and looked at Zhao Jie and said to Shen Ruiling:

    "The boy broke through again a few days ago. I suspect his spiritual root may not be simple, so I''m going to let him go home and ask the clan leader to test him."

    Shen Ruiling found that Zhao Jie had practiced Qi for six layers, and had risen two layers in just two or three years. No wonder he attracted Shen huanqun''s attention.

    Although the spirit root test can also be done during Qi training, with the help of special magic tools, it can only detect whether there are spirit roots, and specifically, several spirit roots can only be checked by friars in the foundation period.

    Therefore, the Qi training family usually asks the foundation period friars to help check the spiritual roots of their disciples. Of course, the cost is also a lot,

    Some families who can''t afford to hire friars can only send their people to the sect gate, although friars who build foundations in the sect gate will help detect them.

    But in this case, if a good qualification can only be added to the clan, it will be less helpful to the family.

    There are also some casual practitioners. Because they can''t find the foundation friar to see what kind of spiritual root they are, they can only try one skill by one. The first one with good luck is suitable for themselves. Bad luck not only takes a long time to save, but also runs the risk of becoming possessed.

    Often, many casual practitioners start to practice the wrong skills, which is not suitable for their spiritual root attributes. As a result, they progress slowly and miss the opportunity to build a foundation. This is also the sadness of casual practitioners.

    Zhao Jie himself said that after his master found out that he had spiritual roots, he gave him a fire attribute skill, and he practiced it with it. He didn''t feel bad, but his practice was a little slow.

    Shen Ruiling also felt it necessary for the patriarch to show him what the spirit root attribute was. In the conversation, the motorcade has come to the gate.

    Shen huanqun jumped out of the car and walked to the gate guard,

    "I''m the motorcade of Shen''s shop. I''m going home to transport some more things." Then he handed over a token.

    At this time, a middle-aged man came over, and his accomplishments also looked like practicing Qi for nine layers. The guard nearby salutes quickly:

    "Captain Guo"

    It was the captain at the gate when Shen Ruiling first came last time.

    "Shopkeeper Shen, you''re out of town this evening. It''s not peaceful outside." Said to Shen huanqun with a smile.

    "Ha ha, Captain Guo, I haven''t seen you for a long time. I can''t use things in the store urgently. I have to go back." Shen huanqun said and handed over several spirit stones.

    "It''s easy to say. It''s just to remind shopkeeper Shen that the road is not safe this evening."

    "I can''t help living around."

    "Come on, let go."

    The Shen family''s motorcade passed through the city gate and walked towards the darkness.

    After the motorcade walked for more than ten miles, Shen huanqun jumped out of the ox cart and said to Shen Ruiling:

    "Well, I''ll take you here. Be careful all the way. This bull can almost return to Linhai County overnight."

    "Grandpa, don''t worry. With this bull, you may not catch up in the later stage of Qi training." Shen Ruiling didn''t care.

    "Well, I''ll go back first. I''ll help you find out about the city."

    With that, Shen huanqun plundered to Hushang square.

    "Grandpa, take care. Your grandson will come to see you next time."

    Shen Ruiling originally planned to wait until the ninth floor of Qi practice before he went to the Hui nationality. Now he actually left like this. It''s hard to avoid feeling in his heart.

    The motorcade galloped on the road, because they were all roads that people had walked countless times, so there were no monsters.

    Shen Ruiling saw that there were six people in his three cars, including himself and Zhao Jie. One of them was in the later stage of Qi practice, the three were in the middle stage of Qi practice, and Shen Ruiling, a monk with eight layers of Qi practice, could deal with the problem.

    After a night''s gallop, they returned to Linhai county. Fortunately, the iron backed bull, a monster with long endurance, ran two thousand miles a night.

    Linhai county is one of the four counties subordinate to Qingyun gate. It is named Linhai county because it is close to the boundless sea. The other three counties under Qingyun gate are shansheng County near Hengduan Mountain range, Jiangmin County near Nujiang River and Pingzhou County in the deep hinterland.

    The Mountain Gate of Qingyun gate is on a fourth level spirit vein in Pingzhou County, which is the only four level spirit mountains in Lingnan.

    Cultivating the fourth-order spiritual pulse is not a simple thing. Not only should there be a good third-order spiritual pulse itself, so as to absorb the spiritual power of the earth pulse, but also need to invest a lot of spiritual stones to make the spiritual pulse quickly take shape and stabilize.

    In this way, we can absorb the spiritual power in the earth vein and warm ourselves. We no longer need to invest in the spiritual stone, but also emit the spiritual power for friars to practice.

    It is said that the fourth level spirit pulse of Qingyun gate is already the fourth level middle grade, which is also the accumulation of Qingyun gate for thousands of years.

    On Qingyun Mountain, there are three friars in Jindan period, eighty or ninety friars in foundation period, and as many as a thousand Qi practicing disciples.

    It is impossible for all the monks in this mountain to practice by relying on this spirit mountain. Some external disciples can only live at the foot of the mountain. They can only go up the hillside after becoming monks in the later stage of Qi practice.

    During the foundation period, friars can open up caves on the mountain for cultivation, and the place with the most abundant spiritual power on the top of the mountain is the retreat of the ancestors of the golden elixir.

    ……

    There are only four third-order spiritual veins in Linhai County, which are controlled by four families.

    Except that the Shen family and the Chen family''s ancestral land are the third-class Lingshan, the other two Lingshan are only the third-class Lingshan.

    Generally speaking, a third-order lower level spirit pulse can meet the daily cultivation of three base building friars, while the third-order middle level spirit pulse of the Shen family can meet the cultivation of five base building friars.

    It can be said that only the third-order spiritual pulse can be beneficial to the cultivation of foundation friars. The spiritual power of the second-order spiritual pulse can not be satisfied with the foundation friars in terms of quantity or quality.

    But the third-order spirit veins on the land of Lingnan are not in the hands of Xiuxian family, but in the hands of third-order monsters. They are all things with masters. Therefore, the Shen family was faced with the problem of scattered repair seizing the spiritual pulse last time.

    With the advance of the team, Shen Ruiling and his party finally entered the national territory, and a mountain peak was close at hand.
