Chapter 59: The Difficulty of Immortal Cultivation

The family school was not big. After all, there were only more than eighty Su family cultivators, and there were fewer than ten underage ones. The one who taught them was an uncle who was at the sixth layer of Qi Refining.

Wan, Shi, Shao, Xian, Qi, Hua, Ming, Lun, Yong, Chang, Shi, Xiu, Kai, Yuan, Da, Dao.

This was the generation of the Su family. Now the Su family's clan leader was of the Wan generation, Su Wanjun. In fact, the Su family's generation was also set after the Su family completely established its position on Yunwu Shan sixty years ago.

Su Fan was of the Xian generation, and the one who taught them was called Su Shaoyuan.

These days, Su Fan had been asking for advice, and at the same time, he was reading some immortal cultivation history in the family's Scripture Pavilion, especially some humanistic records left by family predecessors.

Of course, there was also some information collected from outside.

This also allowed Su Fan to have a small understanding of this world.

The Yunwu Shan where Su Fan was located was inside Yu County, one of the three counties in the south of Zheng Guo. It was one of the few spiritual mountains in Yu County, and it was not very good; after all, it was only a second-tier low-grade spiritual vein.

The other four major families, the lowest were second-tier middle-grade, and even the number one family in Yu County, the Wang family, possessed a second-tier high-grade spiritual vein.

Regarding spiritual veins, Su Fan already knew that the higher the level of the spiritual vein, the richer the spiritual energy it contained.

Spiritual energy was also a necessary thing for immortal cultivators.

The Su family was an emerging family, and it had been less than a hundred years since the establishment of the Su family. Their ancestor accidentally obtained a predecessor's cave dwelling seventy years ago, obtained a Foundation Establishment Pill, and then broke through to Foundation Establishment.

Later, sixty years ago, there was a monster race turmoil, and the Yunyang Sect issued a conscription order. The ancestor responded and obtained military merit in this great battle between humans and monsters.

After the war, he exchanged his own merit points for a Foundation Establishment Pill, and then gave it to Su Shi'an of the Shi generation of the Su family to take, who also broke through to Foundation Establishment in one fell swoop.

In this way, the ancestor Su Wanjun took Su Shi'an and the dozen or so Su family clansmen from before to take down Yunwu Shan, completely establishing the Su family's prestige in Yu County.

This was the family history.

The Su family was too short, far from being comparable to the other four families in Yu County. Even the shortest one had more than two hundred years, as for the longest one, it was not the Wang family, but the Liu family, which had eight hundred years.

Unfortunately, the Liu family had been declining recently. In the last monster beast riot, two Foundation Establishment cultivators of the family died.

Even though the Yunyang Sect made compensation, now they only had two Foundation Establishment cultivators. Their foundation might be stronger than their Su family, but in terms of real strength, it was not much different.

After all, their Su family ancestor Su Wanjun, that strength was not simple among Foundation Establishment.

Understanding the family history, Su Fan also knew about the Su family and this immortal cultivation world. This immortal cultivation world was indeed much crueler than the previous martial arts world.

A monster beast riot, thousands and thousands of cultivators died, even Foundation Establishment cultivators were no exception.

Su Fan already understood the immortal cultivation levels: Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Purple Mansion, Golden Core, and Nascent Soul.

In Zheng Guo, Golden Core was already the most powerful. Only the Yunyang Sect had two Golden Core ancestors, and it was precisely because of this that the Yunyang Sect was the hegemon in Zheng Guo, the unique hegemon.

The countries of the immortal cultivation world were not imperial dynasties, but everything was ruled by the Yunyang Sect. Immortal cultivators were high above.

And in Yu County, Foundation Establishment was the most powerful. In the entire Yu County, there were not too many Foundation Establishment experts; the several major families, plus loose cultivators, were probably less than thirty. Of course, perhaps there were some hidden ones.

But sixty years ago, the number of Foundation Establishment cultivators who died was no less than fifty or sixty.

Equivalent to two Yu Counties, the entire Zheng Guo was only eight counties.

As for Qi Refining cultivators, even more died.

And this great battle between humans and monsters often appeared once every hundred years.

One could imagine the cruelty of immortal cultivators in this world. As for ordinary people, it went without saying. If there were no immortal cultivators, I'm afraid they would only become food for monster beasts or demonic cultivators.

Even with the protection of immortal cultivators, many times, they would die in large numbers. After all, demonic cultivators were elusive, and immortal cultivators couldn't protect them all the time.

Understanding all this, although Su Fan was prepared, he still couldn't help but feel a chill. In the Xiaoao world, Su Fan was confident that except for the first few months when he would be worried about his safety, later he wouldn't worry much about his safety.

After all, in the martial arts world, although martial arts were powerful, they still had an upper limit.

However, this world was different. From those short travelogues and family histories, Su Fan could feel the bloodiness inside.

Most importantly, high-level immortal cultivators killed those with weak cultivation even more like slaughtering chickens.

This also made Su Fan feel a bit insecure.

Of course, he was fortunate to have a good family, a Foundation Establishment family. In this area of Yu County, at least there wouldn't be too much danger.

But there were forty years until the next beast riot. He knew that once it broke out, under the Yunyang Sect's edict, no one in Zheng Guo could disobey.

So he must break through to Foundation Establishment within these forty years. At that time, the chance of saving his life would greatly increase.

Qi Refining cultivators were truly too dangerous in the great battle.

Can he break through to Foundation Establishment in forty years?

If it were someone else, it would definitely be desperate. In the family, four or five spiritual root cultivators, at fifty years old, many were only at the fourth or fifth layer of Qi Refining, and some were only at the initial stage of Qi Refining.

It could be seen how slow the cultivation speed of this waste spiritual root was, making people desperate. As for breaking through to Foundation Establishment, he also inquired, I'm afraid it would take three or four, or even more Foundation Establishment Pills, to break through.

Foundation Establishment Pills can assist Qi Refining cultivators to break through to Foundation Establishment. Generally, two or three spiritual roots, taking a Foundation Establishment Pill, have at least a 40% chance of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment realm.

This was already very high. If there were no Foundation Establishment Pill, then forcing a breakthrough, the chance was less than one-tenth, and the end of an unsuccessful breakthrough was the shattering of meridians and death.

Miscellaneous spiritual roots and waste spiritual roots needed more Foundation Establishment Pills to break through, and how precious were Foundation Establishment Pills? There were very few forces in the entire Zheng Guo that could refine Foundation Establishment Pills.

Except for the Yunyang Sect, there were only two or three forces that could take them out, and these forces, only at Taihe Mountain would they occasionally take out one or two for sale.

Taihe Mountain was the holy land for loose cultivators in Zheng Guo, where an ancestor of the ninth layer of the Purple Mansion sat in town, and he was also a master of alchemy.

In ten or twenty years, he would open a furnace of Foundation Establishment Pills, and sometimes he would take them out.

But this one, generally, at least needed 30,000 spiritual stones to be taken down.

Su Fan didn't know how many spiritual stones the Su family had, but in these sixty years, a total of six Foundation Establishment Pills flowed out from Taihe Mountain, but the Su family hadn't bought one.

It could be seen that the Su family was not rich.

As for the Su family not wanting Foundation Establishment Pills, that was absolutely impossible. There were several elders of the ninth layer of Qi Refining in the Su family.

One more Foundation Establishment cultivator would increase the Su family's strength by a few points.

No family would give up Foundation Establishment Pills. The only reason was probably that the Su family "had no money."

Understanding all this, Su Fan also knew that his future was also very difficult, because his spiritual roots were destined not to be valued by the family, let alone invested in.

This point, Su Fan understood very well in the Mount Hua Sect.

So if he wanted to reach Foundation Establishment, he could only rely on himself. Of course, if he could show his extraordinary cultivation speed, it was not impossible to move the ancestor.

It was just that right now, he needed to choose a cultivation method for immortal cultivation. ===== CHAPTER 60 =====
