In Five Thunder City, in a small wooden house at the foot of Lei Yin Mountain , Chu Jun was quietly lying on a bed. His chest slightly rose and fell, and his breathing was even and steady. The bugs outside the window were chirping quietly and steadily, and they could not hear the roars of the beasts.

A ball of gentle light suddenly lit up between Chu Jun 's eyebrows. The light seemed to have intelligence as it slowly drilled out and transformed into a graceful woman. Her entire body was covered in gentle moonlight, and she could not see her face clearly. The woman stood in front of Chu Jun 's bed and observed for a while. She thought to herself, "She is obviously a weak physique cultivator. How can she have the ability to heal herself?"

The woman pondered for a while and muttered to herself, "The sun and moon shine on the heavens and the earth. Perhaps we can really give it a try!"

In his dream, Chu Jun once again arrived at that secluded valley. In the sky hung a vast moon. Chu Jun glanced around the valley and muttered to himself strangely, "Why are you dreaming of this place again?"

"Your name is Chu Jun ?" A dry and cold voice suddenly sounded behind him.

Chu Jun suddenly turned around and saw a silhouette standing quietly behind him. His entire body was covered in gentle moonlight. He could not see his appearance at all, but he could be sure that it was a woman.

Chu Jun nodded and said, "That's right, why do I dream about you every time?"

"Very simple, I live in your sea of consciousness!" The woman's voice was cold and dry, without the slightest bit of emotion.

"Sea of consciousness? You mean you live in my mind?" Chu Jun said in surprise.

"That's right, you can also understand this!"

"Who exactly are you and what is your purpose?" Chu Jun asked with a calm face. When he thought of a strange person living in his mind, his boss felt uncomfortable.

The woman didn't seem to care about Chu Jun 's questioning. She said indifferently, "I like living wherever I like. You'd better be obedient, or else you'll suffer!"

Chu Jun 's heart trembled slightly. This eccentric was actually able to break into his brain. It was indeed as easy as backwards palms to kill him. Seeing Chu Jun 's silence, the woman said indifferently, "You don't need to be afraid. I won't live in your place for nothing. In exchange, I can teach you a cultivation technique!" This is typical of beating a stick and giving a jujube.

Chu Jun asked doubtfully, "What kind of cultivation technique, martial arts?"

"Naturally, it's a cultivation technique. Do you really not understand it or do you fake it?" The woman said coldly.

Chu Jun 's heart skipped a beat and he asked, "Is it that kind of technique that can discharge electricity?"

Chu Jun was deeply impressed by Zhao Yu's ability to discharge his sword. If he really did have this kind of technique, it would be good. Anyway, the chances of returning to the original world were already very slim. If he wanted to survive in the current world, he had to adapt to this world and make himself stronger.

"No!" The woman said indifferently, "That kind of technique is not worth much compared to mine!"

The woman seemed to be very disdainful of Chu Jun's endless admiration for the discharge technique. Chu Jun asked doubtfully, "Your technique is very powerful?"

"Heaven and earth, ten thousand li in the wind, immortal!" The woman proudly said.

Chu Jun scoffed and secretly said, "The bull is too big. It will never die!"

"Do you want to learn it or not?" The woman seemed to be annoyed by Chu Jun 's indifferent expression, and her cold and dry voice carried a trace of anger.

Chu Jun suddenly woke up and this strange person was living in his brain. If he angered her, she would die for him. He hurriedly said, "I want to learn!"

Although her tone and expression were very fake, the woman nodded in satisfaction and her voice was emotionlessly cold. "My cultivation technique is divided into two parts, one is called the Moon Coldening Art, and the other is called the Blazing Sun Art. I will teach you the first layer of the Moon Coldening Art first. If you can reach the first layer of the Moon Coldening Art, I will teach you the first layer of the Blazing Sun Art!"

Chu Jun perfunctorily nodded. Seeing this, the light-shadow woman's voice became cold and fierce, "If you can't practice the first level of the Cold Moon Formula … Hmph!"

The woman didn't say what she wanted to do. Instead, she only used "hmph". This kind of threat with unknown results seemed to be more effective than explicitly saying it. A chill rose in Chu Jun 's heart. He straightened his waist like a conditioned reflex and said to himself, "She won't eat my brain, will she?"

"I'll teach you the first level of the Moon Shivering Art first. Remember it with your heart!" The woman said indifferently.

Chu Jun 's memory wasn't bad, and he quickly remembered the mental technique that the light-shadow woman had mentioned. The woman nodded in satisfaction and instructed, "Cultivate according to the cultivation method in the evening. If you fail to break open your aperture in ten days … Hmph!"

Chu Jun 's heart turned cold, "What exactly is this strange woman trying to do? On the surface, she said that she didn't want to waste my sea of consciousness, so she only taught me martial arts. Why does it seem like she insisted on forcing me to practice it?"

… dividing line

Early in the morning, Chu Jun was woken up by the voice outside the room.

"Is he still awake?" Lin Ping's voice came in.

"Not yet. It's good to be able to recover from such a serious injury. How can you wake up so quickly!" An unfamiliar voice replied.

"Let me know when he wakes up!" Lin Ping said calmly.

"Yes, Senior Brother!" An unfamiliar voice said respectfully.

Then there was the sound of footsteps fading away. It should be Lin Ping leaving. Chu Jun opened his eyes wide and looked at the roof. He quietly recalled what had happened before he fainted, as well as the first level of the Frost Moon Art that the woman in his dream had taught him.

Chu Jun was wondering whether it was a dream or not. The door of the cabin was pushed open, and a gray-haired head poked into it. His face was mottled with wind and frost. At a glance, he could tell that he was the bitter and haha character of the lower echelons of society.

"Yi, I actually woke up!" The man let out a surprised sigh and walked in. He went straight to the bed.

Chu Jun smiled kindly and asked, "Uncle, what kind of place is this?"

"Uncle," his face darkened. "Am I very old?"

Chu Jun was stunned for a moment. His hair was white, and the wrinkles on his face could kill flies passing by. Isn't this old?

"My name is Duan Li . I've been taking care of you these days!" Feng Shuangnan said indifferently, "This is Zhengtian Sect. Senior Brother Lin Ping brought you back. You're lucky that you didn't die from such a serious injury!"

"Thank you, Old … Brother Duan, for taking care of me!" Chu Jun said gratefully.

The wrinkles on Duan Li 's face blossomed like chrysanthemums as he chuckled, "There's no need to thank him. I accepted Senior Brother Lin's salary!"

Divide

Lin Ping withdrew the two fingers that he had pressed on Chu Jun 's wrist veins. A wisp of astonishment flashed in his eyes as he asked curiously, "The injuries have actually healed by 80%!"

Chu Jun nodded and said, "It's all thanks to Brother Lin's treatment!"

Lin Ping smiled faintly and said, "In the future, you will call me Senior Brother Lin!" As he spoke, he handed a black waist token to Chu Jun .

Chu Jun took the waist token in astonishment. Lin Ping took out a porcelain bottle and placed it beside the bed. "This is the reward for the ten spirit beans I promised you last time. Mm, I have to leave first. After you recover from your injuries, Duan Li will take you to receive the responsible spirit field. If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask him!" After saying that, he stood up and went out.

Chu Jun held the waist token and the porcelain bottle. Before his brain could turn around, Lin Ping's tone sounded as if he had given him great charity. That kind of unquestionable imposition made Chu Jun feel uncomfortable in his heart.

Duan Li looked at the black waist token in Chu Jun 's hand with a mottled face and said enviously, "Little brat, you're really lucky. You've just arrived and become an outer sect disciple of our sect. My son hasn't obtained the qualifications to enter the sect yet. He can only wait until he retires to take my place!"

"Are many people competing to become outer sect disciples of Zhengtian Sect?" Chu Jun poured out a golden spirit bean from the porcelain bottle and asked as he studied it.

Duan Li glanced at Chu Jun strangely and proudly said, "This is naturally certain. Becoming an outer sect disciple of our sect is equivalent to having a stable income. There is no need to go out of the city to do dangerous work. I wonder how many physique cultivators are competing to become outer sect disciples of our sect!"

Chu Jun couldn't help but ask, "What kind of work are outer sect disciples in charge of?"

Duan Li proudly introduced, "It's mainly for planting, feeding, forging, and some of the daily chores in the sect!"

At night, a full moon hung in the sky.

Chu Jun lay on the bed, staring at the roof in a daze, digesting the information he had obtained from Duan Li . Hearing Duan Li 's words, when he recovered from his injuries, he would follow him to grow something called Spirit Millet. Spirit millet was the staple food of the people here, just like rice and wheat in later generations.

Chu Jun poured out a Spirit Bean and sniffed it. It did not smell at all. He threw it into his mouth and chewed it. It was sweet. Duan Li said that this kind of yellow and clear spirit bean was refined from spirit millet. Only ten kilograms of spirit millet could be made into one spirit bean. After eating one spirit bean for a few days, there was no need to eat it anymore. Because Spirit Beans could withstand thousands of years of storage and were necessities of life, they became a currency.

Chu Jun swallowed a Spirit Bean and felt a warm aura spread out in his stomach. His hunger immediately disappeared, and he didn't feel as uncomfortable as before. Chu Jun thought to himself, "Indeed, it is a good thing. It saves time and effort. If those experts in later generations can invent such a thing, it will definitely be a revolutionary improvement!"

After putting away the porcelain bottle, Chu Jun took out the three Fire Ape beast crystals and held them in his hands. According to Duan Li , one level 1 beast crystal could be exchanged for 100 spirit beans, while the number of level 2 beast crystals increased tenfold. Spirit Beans contained a small amount of spiritual energy. Immortal cultivators could absorb the spiritual energy in Spirit Beans to cultivate, while body cultivators could use the spiritual energy to nourish their bodies. The spirit energy content of the beast crystal was much higher than that of the spirit bean. Some wealthy immortal cultivators preferred to use the beast crystal to cultivate. The body cultivator could only absorb the spirit energy to nourish his body by eating it. Naturally, he could not devour the beast crystal. Therefore, the beast crystal was only useful for immortal cultivators.

Although beast crystals were useless for body cultivators, it did not mean that body cultivators did not like beast crystals, because beast crystals could be exchanged for ten times the amount of spirit beans. If they were able to obtain a beast crystal on a single trip out of the city, it would be a very sizeable income. Therefore, many body cultivators would rather risk their lives to go out of the city to hunt spirit beasts.

Chu Jun put away the three First Grade Beast Crystals and looked at the top of the tent in boredom. He suddenly woke up from his dream and the Light Shadow Woman taught him the Cold Moon Technique. Since he was idle, he might as well give it a try.
