Chapter 351: Changes in Lifespan

Chu Chen's spiritual thoughts were integrated into the scriptures, and under the pull of the invisible aura, he crossed the vast darkness.

In an instant, we came to a small courtyard.

The courtyard is not big, with a thatched house and a dead tree.

Under the dead tree, there sat a Taoist priest wearing a cloud-patterned purple robe with snow-white hair.

The Taoist's eyes were half-closed, and his breath was as heavy as the sea.

Buzz~

The spiritual thoughts fell into the small courtyard and condensed into the appearance of the puppet incarnation of the outside world.

"I wonder what you call me, senior?"

Chu Chen looked at the purple-robed Taoist and bowed his hands.

"You can call me Master Qingjing."

The purple-robed Taoist raised his eyelids slightly and smiled.

"Junior Qin Zhou has met senior Qingjing."

Chu Chen handed over his hand again and reported a false identity.

Not only him, but the identity of Master Qingjing may not be true either.

"It turns out to be Xiaoyou Qin, please sit down quickly."

Master Qingjing waved his hand, and a stone table and a stone bench appeared.

"Thank you, senior."

Chu Chen's eyes flashed and he sat down on the stone bench.

"My little friend's cultivation level is so strong that it astounds the old Taoist."

Master Qingjing couldn't help but sigh.

With his vision, he could see the current state of the puppet incarnation at a glance.

The realm of mana, the realm of body refining, the intensity of spiritual thoughts, and the essence, energy, and spirit have all reached the limit of the golden elixir, touching the level of the Nascent Soul stage, and are only one layer away from the Nascent Soul stage.

Even when he was at the peak of the Golden Core, he was far weaker than Chu Chen.

after all.

Like Chu Chen, there are very few monks who have cultivated all three elements of essence, energy and spirit to the limit of the golden elixir.

The reason is simple, there is no need.

To break through the golden elixir stage, you need to practice all three elements of essence, energy, and spirit to the limit of foundation building before you can try to break through.

Even, in order to increase the probability of forming elixirs and improve the quality of golden elixirs, a group of monks will fuse their essence in advance to condense fake elixirs.

Breaking through the Nascent Soul stage is different. Ordinary monks only need to practice one of the three essences, Qi and Shen to the limit of the golden elixir, and then they can try to condense the laws of their own body and then break through the Nascent Soul stage.

After breaking through the Nascent Soul stage, the other two of the three essences, Qi and Shen can naturally be raised to the Nascent Soul level much faster than before the breakthrough.

Although cultivating the three elements of essence, energy and spirit to the limit of the golden elixir can increase one's body's foundation, after breaking through the Yuanying stage, the strength can surpass the monks who break through the Yuanying stage in ordinary ways.

But this gap is not as difficult to make up as the quality of the golden elixir.

Therefore, most Jindan monks will not waste too much time on this matter.

Only monks with astonishing talents and powerful qualifications such as those with heavenly spiritual roots would do this.

"No matter how strong you are, if you can't break through the Nascent Soul stage, it will still be in vain in the end."

Chu Chen sighed deeply, with a lonely expression, and followed the initial setting, playing the role of an elderly monk with a short life span.

This setting has two benefits.

First, it makes others afraid.

Second, let others not be too afraid.

If a golden elixir monk whose spirit, energy, and spirit reaches the limit of his golden elixir, if his longevity is short, others will more likely choose to avoid him and not conflict with him.

If you endure it for a while, the other person will die at the end of his life.

But if this golden elixir monk is in his prime and is expected to break through the Nascent Soul stage, it will be different. It will inevitably attract attention from all parties and even target him.

Even Qingyun Tower may take action.

No.

It's not impossible, he will definitely take action, and it will be Nascent Soul Heavenly Lord himself.

Either recruit or kill.

Needless to say, the importance of the Nascent Soul Heavenly Lord is that no one in the Yuanwu Region or other regions in Qianzhou can ignore the Nascent Soul Heavenly Lord.

Qingyun Tower is no exception. Yuanying Tianjun already has the ability to threaten the rule of Qingyun Tower.

"Time is also destiny. If it were the ancient times before the world changed greatly, the golden elixir monks would have lived for thousands of years. Why should I worry about my longevity?"

Master Qingjing expressed regret for Chu Chen.

"The lifespan of the golden elixir monk has been shortened. Why is this?"

Chu Chen asked in due course.

He once read the ancient books preserved in Qingyun Tower, which mentioned that in the ancient times a hundred thousand years ago, the lifespan of high-level monks was much longer than today.

For example, Golden Elixir monks have a lifespan of six hundred years now, but in ancient times, Golden Elixir monks lived for thousands of years.

If all kinds of life-extending methods are taken into account, it is not difficult for a Golden elixir monk to live for two thousand years.

The lifespan of a Nascent Soul cultivator is also longer.

But something unexpected happened later and the life span of the high-level monks was shortened.

The specific reason is unknown because it is too old, and many ancient books are either unclear or half-understood.

Master Qingjing is obviously a figure from ancient times, and he may know the reason.

"What do you think is the relationship between monks and heaven and earth?"

Master Qingjing asked.

"Monks plunder the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to support themselves. To heaven and earth, they are like locusts."

Without waiting for Chu Chen to answer, Master Qingjing said to himself: "The stronger the monk is, the spiritual energy and resources required for practice will only become larger and larger.

The mysterious way of heaven therefore suppresses high-level monks and shortens their life span. "

"I see."

Hearing this, Chu Chen showed a look of sudden realization on his face.

But in fact, he did not fully believe what Master Purity said.

What Master Purity said has some truth to it, but it doesn't stand up to further investigation.

In terms of consumption of spiritual energy and resources, a single high-level monk consumes more energy than a single low-level monk.

But how many high-level monks are there, and how many middle- and low-level monks are there who are practicing Qi and building foundations?

Take Yuanwu Domain as an example. There are no more than a hundred high-level cultivators in Yuanying and Jindan. How many low-level cultivators are there in Qi training and foundation building?

More than a million!

If we really talk about the consumption of spiritual energy and resources, how can the high-level cultivators in Yuanwu Domain compare with countless low-level cultivators.

The Heavenly Dao of Tianhuang Continent is really suppressing cultivators because of spiritual energy and resources. It should not only target high-level cultivators, but also low-level cultivators.

"The change in the life span of high-level cultivators is only partly due to spiritual energy and resources. There must be other hidden reasons."

Chu Chen pondered in his heart.

Master Qingjing may know or may not know the hidden reasons, so he never mentioned it.

Chu Chen did not have the idea of ​​exploring in depth. It is reasonable that he is at a low level and cannot touch such secrets.

In the future, when his cultivation is high and he reaches the peak of Yuanying or even the realm of transformation, he will naturally get the answer he wants.

"The life span of high-level cultivators has dropped drastically, and the life span of Jindan cultivators has dropped from thousands of years to six hundred years. This is why you are worried today."

Master Qingjing sighed and suddenly changed the subject: "However, your desire to break through the Nascent Soul stage is not a delusion."

"Senior, what advice do you have?"

Chu Chen's expression moved, and he stared at Master Qingjing.

"The place recorded on this map is indeed a treasure hiding place of the Soul-Snatching Palace.

As far as I know, there are not only high-level life-extending spiritual objects, but also several soul objects that condense the Nascent Soul. If you can get them, breaking through the Nascent Soul stage will be easy, right?"

Master Qingjing smiled, with a hint of bewitching in his words.

"The Soul-Snatching Palace is so powerful, its treasure hiding place must be full of dangers."

Chu Chen's face was obviously moved, but he was a little hesitant.

"I am a disciple of Duoling Dao Palace. I know a little about this treasure trove and can help you get the spiritual objects."

Seeing this, Master Qingjing hurriedly said, "Strike while the iron is hot."
