Sea of ​​thousands of stars.

The surging waves flapped on the shore of an island, making the seabirds fishing on the reef flapped their wings.

This is an island that is shaped like a pair of gourds relying on each other. There are two freshwater lakes, one large and one small, on the island, so it is also called Shuanghu Island.

In addition to the two freshwater lakes, Shuanghu Island also has vast plains and jungles, as well as a towering mountain range - the Red Copper Mountains.

......

"The third level of Qi Refining has finally broken through!"

In a cave in the Red Copper Mountains, a young monk wearing a green robe, a Taoist bun on his head, a face like a crown of jade, and a starry sky, opened his eyes and said excitedly.

In front of the young monk, a three-inch-long spiritual eye was gustling with spiritual energy.

Seeing this, Chen Daoxuan didn't care about excitement, so he quickly used a stone plate full of formation patterns to carefully seal the spiritual eyes that were emitting spiritual energy.

Seeing that spiritual eyes no longer emitted spiritual energy, Chen Daoxuan breathed a sigh of relief.

This spiritual eye is the last spiritual eye of the Chen family, supporting the practice of the only two monks in the Chen family.

Once the spiritual eyes dry up, Chen Daoxuan and his thirteenth uncle Chen Xianhe could only refine the free spiritual energy in the air.

By then, their practice will inevitably be hindered and it will be difficult to make progress.

After cleaning up, Chen Daoxuan stood up and walked out of the cave.

Just left the cave.

A graceful maid trotted over in sweat and called softly: "Young Master, please come over."

After saying that, the maid looked at Chen Daoxuan, and a look of awe appeared on her pretty face.

"I understand, you go down first."

"yes."

When the maid left, Chen Daoxuan used the wind control technique and flew towards another mountain in the Red Copper Mountains.

Chen Daoxuan is sixteen years old this year. It has been sixteen years since he came to this strange world.

Chen Daoxuan was a mechanical engineer in the Chinese country in his previous life. After a production accident, he died and was reborn in this world.

Because he carries the memories of his previous life, Chen Daoxuan was really excited for a long time when he learned that this world was the world of cultivation in novels and TV series in previous life.

However, this passion was quickly wiped out under the whip of reality.

In Chen Daoxuan's view, the cruelty of the immortal cultivation world is far greater than that of the civilized society in his previous life.

This cruelty is not only reflected in fighting and killing, but also in the absolute monopoly of major forces over the cultivation resources.

In this world, sects and immortal cultivators almost control all the cultivation resources.

Small families and casual cultivators can only get some leftovers that sects and immortal cultivators look down on.

For example, the Chen family on Shuanghu Island where Chen Daoxuan is located is a typical small immortal cultivation family.

During the Chen family's peak period, there were thirteen Qi Refining Cultivation Cultivation Cultivation Cultivation Cultivation Cultivation.

Although there are no spiritual veins, there are also seven spiritual eyes for monks to practice.

Not to mention that the Chen family also occupies a miniature first-level spiritual ore - Red Copper Mine.

......

Thoughts are turning.

A mountain with green pine trees soon appeared in front of Chen Daoxuan.

This is the cave of Chen Xianhe, another monk of the Chen family in Shuanghu Island.

As one of the only two remaining monks of the Chen family in Shuanghu Island, Chen Xianhe's cultivation is much higher than Chen Daoxuan, and he is already a monk at the sixth level of Qi Refining.

"Uncle Thirteen!"

Outside the cave, Chen Daoxuan shouted respectfully.

"Come in."

In the cave, a slightly old voice came out.

Chen Daoxuan walked into the cave and saw an old man wearing a gray-white robe, with a dao bun on his head and a childish face sitting on the jade bed, looking at him steadily.

This old man is Chen Daoxuan's clan uncle, the current clan leader of the Chen family on Shuanghu Island, Chen Xianhe.

"Uncle Thirteen, are you looking for me?"

Who knew that the old man saw Chen Daoxuan, his eyes flashed with surprise. Then he quickly stood up from the jade bed, walked to Chen Daoxuan in three or two steps, and said excitedly: "Daoxuan, your cultivation level..."

"Just breaking through the third level of Qi Refining."

Chen Daoxuan nodded.

When talking about the cultivation level he had just broken through, Chen Daoxuan's face was full of joy.

"Okay! OK! OK!"

Chen Xianhe said three good words in a row and said, "I didn't expect that you started practicing at the age of six. In just ten years, you have broken through the acquired stage, the innate stage, and until the third level of Qi refining. It's really God bless my Chen family!"

Speaking of this, Chen Xianhe's face became a little dim, "It's a pity that my Chen family has declined. If my clan brothers and others are still there, I will buy you a Tongmai Pill for you no matter what, so you won't waste five years in the mortal realm."

In this world, whether it is a mortal without spiritual roots or a seed of immortal cultivation with spiritual roots, you must go through the practice of the mortal realm.

That is, the two realms of acquired and innate as Chen Xianhe mentioned.

For mortals, the nine innate levels in the mortal realm are the end of their life. Without spiritual roots, mortals will never be able to refine spiritual energy and enter the path of immortality.

For cultivators, the greatest significance of the ordinary realm is to nourish the body and penetrate the meridians of the whole body, so as to lay a solid foundation for refining spiritual energy in the next Qi Refining Period.

Chen Daoxuan practiced at the age of six, and did not break through to the first level of Qi refining until he was eleven.

After five years of practice, I was promoted to the third level of Qi Refining, and I advanced to the first level of cultivation in two and a half years on average.

To be honest, this kind of cultivation speed is nothing among the sects and the great immortals, but it is rare to be used in small families like the Chen family in Shuanghu Island.

After all, compared with the immortal cultivator, the Chen family’s cultivation resources on Shuanghu Island are extremely scarce, and even compared with the casual cultivator, they are not much better.

In the cave.

Seeing that Chen Daoxuan was ashamed of his uncle Chen Xianhe, he quickly comforted him: "Uncle Thirteenth, why did he say this? Ten years ago, if you hadn't been to your rescue, Daoxuan would have gone to the underworld long ago, so how could he have today?"

Hearing Chen Daoxuan say this, Chen Xianhe seemed to recall the warm time when he brought him by his side to teach after saving Chen Daoxuan, and a smile appeared on his face.

Seeing that Uncle Thirteen's face improved, Chen Daoxuan quickly changed the subject and smiled and said, "Uncle Thirteen, are you looking for me for the Red Copper Mine?"

"Um."

Seeing Chen Daoxuan talking about the serious matter, Chen Xianhe's expression became serious, "Although the Red Copper Mine is a miniature mineral vein, our Chen family can base itself on Shuanghu Island, which is entirely due to this spiritual mine.

Unfortunately, after three hundred years of mining, the output of red copper ore has declined year by year, from the peak annual output of more than 100 kilograms of red copper ore to the current annual output of less than 5 kilograms.

I guess this spiritual mine should be exhausted."

Hearing this, Chen Daoxuan couldn't help feeling heavy.

The Chen family in Shuanghu Island has no spiritual veins, and the only resource of cultivation that can be used to take action is this spiritual mine.

Unfortunately, no matter how careful the mining is, the red copper mine is just a miniature spiritual mine. It can be mined for three hundred years, which is the result of repeated savings from the Chen family in Shuanghu Island.

Seeing that Chen Daoxuan didn't say anything, Chen Xianhe continued: "Since the red copper vein is about to dry up, instead of being careful to save mining, it is better to mine it with all your strength!"

"Uncle Thirteen, this..."

Chen Daoxuan looked shocked when he heard this.

After all, the Red Copper Mine is the lifeline of the Chen family on Shuanghu Island. Violent mining means that the Chen family has to give up this lifeline. This is undoubtedly a prodigal act for a family of immortal cultivation.

But the smart Chen Daoxuan knew in his heart that the biggest reason why Uncle Thirteen did this was to provide him with resources to learn to refine weapons.

Looking at the firm eyes of Uncle Thirteen Chen Xianhe, Chen Daoxuan's mouth squirmed, and the words of rejection came to his mouth, but it turned into: "My nephew is following the instructions of Uncle Thirteen."

The two discussed the details of mining the red copper ore for a while, and Chen Daoxuan bowed and left.

It was not until he walked to the entrance of the cave that Chen Xianhe's voice came from behind Chen Daoxuan: "Daoxuan, since you have been promoted to the third level of Qi Refining, your family's spiritual eyes may not be enough to support you and me to practice. In the future... let it be used by you alone!"

This sentence was like a bolt from the blue that exploded in Chen Daoxuan's heart, which directly made him pause.

Chen Daoxuan turned around, looked at the old man sitting on the jade bed with red eyes, and his hair was white. He knelt down respectfully and knocked at the other party.

"Go, go!"
Chapter completed!
