Beiyin Great Sage

As always, He Zhong couldn't see anyone.

Regarding how to deal with the baby girl, Xiong Qi remained neutral, Zhang Yao advocated killing without mercy, while Zhou Yi and Bai Xiu preferred to save the baby's life.

finally,

Zhou Yi and Bai Xiu had the upper hand two to one.

Zhang Yao had an angry look on her face when she left, saying that she would report it to Fairy Xuehong and ask her to convict the two of them for protecting the prisoner's daughter.

But at this time, the true disciples were busy entertaining the Taoist monks who worshiped the mountain, and they probably had no time to pay attention.

"Bai Xiu."

Xiong Qi said in a muffled voice:

"You have to be careful. This baby is born with insufficient bones. I'm afraid he won't live long."

"Besides, she is the daughter of a prisoner held in Batu Caves after all. It is best not to teach her the practice method, otherwise there will be trouble."

"Yeah." Bai Xiu nodded:

"I see."

"And..." Xiong Qi put his chin in his hand, thoughtfully:

"This doll seems to have something left behind by her mother. If anything goes wrong, it should be eradicated."

Bai Xiu narrowed his eyes slightly.

Zhou Yi looked at Xiong Qi in surprise.

There was something wrong with the baby girl, and he only discovered it after handling it. The other party just took a few glances and noticed something was wrong, which shows the tactics.

It seems that the chess pieces that can become the three true successors are no ordinary people.

"Farewell!"

Xiong Qi said goodbye.

Zhou Yi didn't stay long and walked away.

…………

In the days that followed, Zhou Yi was on the right track. With his status as a deacon, he no longer had to feed the prisoners himself.

The training time is greatly increased.

The main method is still the same.

The Immortality Technique increases one's cultivation level, the Yuan-Suppressing Demon Ape becomes stronger, the Heart-Suspending Mirror protects one's mind, and the Three-Yuan Breath Condensing Technique converges one's breath.

It may seem like a lot, but in fact most of them can operate spontaneously without much effort.

He took the time to practice the Fire Eye Technique, Fire Control Technique, True Yang Treasure Refining Technique, Ape Demon Stick Technique, Soul Swallowing, Soul Binding Chain and other magic and martial arts skills.

As for the rest...

There is not much time to pay attention anymore.

In his spare time, Zhou Yi would go out to chat and sit with Xiangchen and Baoping'er.

Because of the baby girl, he and Bai Xiu got a lot closer, and they would chat together and tease the baby when they had time.

Bai Xiu named the baby girl.

Snow!

Because the baby girl's skin is as white as snow, as for why she took his last name, she didn't plan to tell Bai Xue her true identity in the future.

You can tell.

Bai Xiu liked his 'daughter' very much. He took her with him wherever he went, and even asked someone to get her some precious medicine to nourish her body.

She really takes care of her like her own daughter.

Except for the addition of a baby girl, everything else in the Criminal Court is stable.

The outside world is not like this.

The appearance of the real man's palace has alarmed many senior experts. I heard from Xiang Chen that there will be a Daoji mountain climber every few days during this period.

Batu Caves is like a person who is tense all the time.

Even Tianman like Xiangchen was pulled out to serve as a temporary errand to receive visitors.

It is said.

An appointment has been made with a group of Taoji people to travel together in the near future to explore the real man's remains. During this period, Batu Caves will most likely be closed.

During the mountain closure period, entry and exit are prohibited unless necessary.

The master of Batu Caves holds the ‘Wu Xie’ and the ‘key’ to the real man’s palace, and seems to have gained a lot of benefits from other people.

There is at least one.

In the absence of the cave master, other forces cannot take the opportunity to attack Batu Cave, otherwise they will be killed together.

This made many people breathe a sigh of relief. After all, many Taoist disciples were hovering overhead all day long, and even the true disciples were frightened.

"Owner."

Baoping'er's face was full of joy:

"I feel like I should be almost innate."

"Okay." Zhou Yi said with a smile on his face:

"You're doing well. When you become an innate, I'll help you find a job in the animal farm. Then you'll have a place in Batu Caves."

"At least I can get rid of my status as a slave."

Baoping'er's eyes turned red:

"Thank you Master, if my sister is here..."

Shaking her head, she silenced her voice.

"correct."

After calming down, Baoping'er whispered:

"Master, I feel something is wrong with Sister Xiangchen during this period. She has a bad temper and sometimes gets angry for no reason."

"On my body..."

"There are also some changes."

Zhou Yi's smile faded, his expression slightly condensed.

He had expected this day for a long time, but he didn't expect it to come so early. Xiangchen seemed to be only over forty years old.

Unexpectedly, symptoms of losing control of his skills appeared so quickly.

The inheritance of the five poisons and eight evils in Batu Cave will change when one's life span is approaching, evolving from the spirit to the body in a different direction.

Until he loses control completely and is either killed or pushed into a veterinary or poisonous hospital.

Generally speaking, if there are signs of accelerated mutation, they will not survive for two or three years.

"I understand." Zhou Yi took a deep breath and asked:

"Where is senior sister?"

"She doesn't want to see you." Baoping'er opened his mouth:

"Master, I think...Sister Xiangchen may like you."

Zhou Yi was silent.

He is not a blockhead, how can he not understand some things, but such things cannot be forced, and the two of them have never pointed it out.

Immediately he said:

"I have a few calming elixirs in my hand, which can help stabilize my mind and blood. You can come back with me later and bring them to Senior Sister."

"yes."

Baoping'er lowered his head.

*

*

*

Two months later, Baoping'er successfully advanced to Xiantian, and Zhou Yi also asked someone to find a job for her in the animal hospital and settled her down.

It's quite fragrant...

Still avoided.

At the end of the toad inheritance, the human appearance will gradually change into the form of a toad. Baoping'er said that Xiangchen no longer wants to see people.

Especially Zhou Yi.

In addition to worrying about Xiangchen's situation, Zhou Yi himself was also in trouble.

Cultivation: Early stage of Qi refining (93/100)

"call……"

Exhaling softly, Zhou Yi slowly opened his eyes, looking thoughtful:

"It's slowing down!"

"The medicinal power of the undead mushroom is getting weaker and weaker. No, it should be that this body has become resistant to the undead mushroom, which is why the medicinal effect is weakened."

Calculate the time.

As early as before he became a Tianman, he started taking elixirs refined from the Necromancer Mushroom, and it has been many years now.

The emergence of drug resistance is natural.

but,

The undead mushrooms obtained by chance from the mushroom cultivation technique were the basis for Zhou Yi's rapid growth in cultivation, and it would be impossible to lose them.

"It is inevitable that the efficacy of the Necromancer Mushroom will fade, but it will come sooner than I thought."

I thought it would not appear until the middle stage of Qi refining.

Never thought about it.

There are already signs.

"Change the dressing!"

Zhou Yi rested his chin on his hand, thoughtfully.

Thanks to his status as the deacon of the criminal court, prisoners died from time to time in the prison. During this time, he often bought necromancy mushrooms.

As long as you force the Qi Master to find a secret place to grow Ganoderma lucidum and Matsutake mushrooms, you can get a few pieces of Lingzhi mushrooms every once in a while.

I have nearly thirty pieces left.

These are all elixirs. Even if you don't use them, you can trade them or directly exchange them for other elixirs.

It can also maintain the progress of cultivation.

He stood up and walked towards Bai Xiu's residence.

"A place where elixirs are bought and sold?"

Bai Xiu teased Bai Xue and smiled when he heard this:

"You are asking a question out of the blue. I have hardly been out of the Criminal Court in recent years. Even if there are similarities, I don't know."

"You can only ask Xiong Qi or the inner disciples for the answer."

"correct."

He remembered something, raised his head and said:

"If you know, don't forget to come back and tell me."

"What?" Zhou Yi said with a smile:

"Brother Bai is interested and wants to go out for a while?"

"Yes." Bai Xiu shrugged:

"I have also accumulated a lot of wealth over the years. In addition, my cultivation has been slow in the past few years and I have a child. It is always good to change to some elixirs."

"Yeah." Zhou Yi nodded, and when he was about to leave, his eyes moved slightly and he asked:

"Brother Bai, do you know what transactions between Qi Refiners usually use?"

"Spiritual stone."

"..."

Zhou Yi’s expression was slightly stiff:

"What should I do if I don't have a spiritual stone?"

"Why not?" Bai Xiu looked surprised:

"Red gold sand is hard currency outside. One kilogram of refined red gold sand is worth at least one spiritual stone. Our monthly salary is eight taels of red gold sand."

"How much have you spent these past few years?"

"That's not true." Zhou Yi breathed a sigh of relief:

"In that case, I'll go out and ask."

…………

"Elixir?"

Yushu, who was dressed in green clothes, was leaning on a stone chair, pouring a wine bottle into his mouth. Hearing this, he stopped and looked sideways, nodded and said:

"Yes, just be motivated."

"But you don't have to go out to buy elixirs. Batu Cave has elixirs specially suitable for the cultivation of the Five Poisons and Eight Evils, and the price is also cost-effective."

"You are a Qi Refiner, so you can get a 20% discount!"

"Well..." Zhou Yi said slowly:

"Senior sister, I want to buy some pills that can help the soul."

The jade book is clear.

Batu Cave provides elixirs to boost cultivation, but not elixirs to help the soul. After all, turning people into monsters is the purpose of the Five Poisons and Eight Evils.

If you rely on elixirs to resist physical changes, how can Batu Cave have a steady stream of monsters to drive?

Even the methods of protecting the mind, such as the Xuanxin Baojing, are only passed on to people in the execution court, in order to prevent the guards from dying too early.

Zhou Yi directly stated his purpose and gained Yushu's trust, which showed that the other party did not treat him as an outsider.

"There is a market over there at Wanling Cave, with the most complete range of materials for trading, but the people there are not very friendly to Batu Cave disciples."

Yushu took a sip of wine and said:

"There are also two markets on the edge of Batu Caves. One is held every once in a while. If you want to go, I will give you a place."

"certainly."

Her voice paused slightly and she looked sideways:

"There are better options now."

"Oh." Zhou Yi's eyes moved slightly:

"Sister, please tell me."

"You also know the current situation in Batu Caves." Yushu raised his finger and pointed to the sky, saying:

"Recently, many Qi refiners have gathered here, as well as many Taoist seniors. Someone has set up a temporary market three hundred miles south of here."

"The market is rich in trading materials, and there are also senior Daojis who appear. If you are lucky, you can find high-quality magic weapons and even techniques."

"You can go take a look, but be careful, it's a bit messy there."

Zhou Yi frowned.

He has not mastered the Three-Yuan Breath Condensation yet, and it is not certain whether he can hide the true inheritance. When he meets a Daoji monk, he will definitely reveal his secret on the spot.

In addition, with so many undead mushrooms, it is definitely impossible to use the true appearance, and it will be troublesome if it is leaked.

"Are you scared?"

The expression on Zhou Yi's face could not be hidden from Yu Shu. He shook his head and said slightly speechlessly:

"I find that you are too timid. Even though you are a strong man, you show hesitation at every turn. This is not a good thing."

"That's what senior sister said."

Zhou Yi lowered his head and said:

"But I can't use the elixir for the time being. I'll tell you later."

"As you wish." Yushu waved his hand:

"After a while, Daoji monks will all leave. Even if the market there is still there, it will be impossible to get good things."

"It doesn't matter." Zhou Yi said:

"Zhou is not the kind of person who is blessed."

"Why!"

Yushu looked at his calm expression and sighed helplessly:

"As you wish!"

Zhou Yi said goodbye and returned to the cave.

The efficacy of the Necromancer Mushroom has weakened, but it's not that it can't be used. Nowadays, there are a lot of experts coming around, so it's better to stay in the Criminal Court.

A few months later.

Batu Caves announced closure.

That day.

Streams of light shot out from the Black Mountain, disappeared into the vast sky, and flew directly to the northwest.

The flow of light was astonishing, piercing through the clouds, mist, wind and rain, but in the blink of an eye, it disappeared at the end of the line of sight, and the breath also dissipated.

A few days later, Zhou Yi asked Yushu again.

The answer I got is that the market is still there, but the Daoji monk has just left, and without the master to take charge, it will be even more chaotic. There is no need to go alone.

You can go with a few friends.

If he wanted to go, Yushu could find a few people to go with him, just in time to go out shopping as an excuse.

Zhou Yi thought for a while and rejected the other party to be on the safe side, which made Yushu Lian roll his eyes and was kicked out before he could finish his words.

At this time, after consuming a large amount of dead spirit mushrooms, his cultivation was approaching the middle stage of Qi refining.

Cultivation: Early stage of Qi refining (98/100)

He plans to work hard during this period, and when his cultivation reaches the middle stage of Qi refining and he has a certain ability to protect himself, he will go and have a look.

after a while.

Cultivation: Middle stage of Qi refining (1/100)

In the middle stage of advanced Qi refining, Zhou Yi's cultivation level has skyrocketed, and his strength has doubled from the original basis. He estimates that it is no less than Yushu two years ago.

Within three feet, it is even possible to capture the jade book.

but……

"Aren't you going yet?"

Yushu is speechless:

"What are you doing here?"

"Ask about the situation." Zhou Yi smiled dryly:

"Is it dangerous?"

"For you, what situation is not dangerous? Are you the only Qi practitioner among all mortals?" Yushu rolled his eyes:

"Come back to me when you go."

"yes."

Zhou Yi bowed his head.

He originally planned to go, but suddenly found that he was about to become proficient in the Three-Yuan Breath Condensation Technique, so he thought he might as well go after he became proficient.

Those who are proficient in the realm of three-yuan breath gathering can hide it from the perception of those who have perfected Qi refining. Even the true disciples cannot even think of detecting anything wrong.

In addition, the True Yang Treasure Refining Technique will also be broken through. By then, you can carry the refined giant cauldron with you, and the power of self-protection will be stronger.

Half a month later.

Three-Yuan Breath Condensation Technique: Mastery (1/100)

True Yang Treasure Refining Technique: Mastery (2/100)

He checked his belongings again, including the Black Flame Stick, the True Yang Cauldron, the Dingfa Pearl, and also obtained a phantom talisman from Bai Xiu.

"oh!"

Looking at Zhou Yi who was getting ready to go, Yushu's beautiful eyes stirred:

"Why, are you planning to take action this time?"

"yes."

Zhou Yi looked solemn:

"Please take care of me, senior sister, along the way."

"There's no need to be so nervous." Yushu was speechless:

"I'm just going out, not fighting people to death."
