Beiyin Great Sage

Through the Batu Mountain formation, one can 'see' the auras emerging from outside the mountain from time to time, most of which have nothing to do with the people in Batu Caves.

This is also normal.

When a new cave master appears in Batu Caves, how can other forces ignore him?

However, such blatant snooping can also be seen that Zizhen, who has just entered Daoji, lacks deterrence, and many others don't care much.

"Um……"

"Perhaps it was done deliberately, just to lure Zizhen out of Black Wind Mountain. If we can kill him by then, Black Wind Cave will become a land without one."

"At that time, there will naturally be many benefits."

"But I'm afraid no one would guess that in just a few years, Zizhen is already a middle-stage Taoist monk, and his strength is already extraordinary."

Zhou Yi looked thoughtful, and at the same time gathered his breath and jumped into the forest.

He has mastered the art of breath gathering, and can hide it from Daoji monks in the realm of Qi refining. Now that he has advanced to Daoji, he will not be discovered.

"Uh-huh!"

Using his body skills, he was like an agile white ape that shuttled through the forest and headed straight for Xiaoheishanfang City.

Shortly after.

"congratulations!"

Ling Yunfeng and Xuan Shang came hand in hand, clasping their fists and raising their hands, the expressions on their faces were full of wonder, envy, and a little bit of jealousy.

The two of them have been practicing hard for decades, but building the foundation is still far away.

And Zhou Yi.

When they met, their cultivation was not very advanced, but they suddenly achieved Taoism, extended their lives for two hundred years, and completely distanced themselves from the two of them.

You may not be able to advance in your lifetime. When you see people around you achieving something, you will inevitably feel jealous even if you have a good relationship with them.

Ling Yunfeng even sighed:

"Brother Zhou is really talented. He has achieved Taoism at such a young age. We... admire him!"

"Luckily." Zhou Yi smiled lightly and handed over his hand:

"It all depends on the help of the cave master, otherwise Zhou would not be able to achieve anything."

Now that he has achieved Taoism, he can tell with a glance of his spiritual consciousness that the auras of the two people in front of him are mixed, and he is afraid that they are secretly Taoists.

The two of them had traveled thousands of miles from outside the mountains and were doing errands that could cause them to lose their heads at any time, so it was normal for them to comfort each other.

Those who can ignore the torture of loneliness are the exceptions.

The three of them sat down.

It can be seen that Ling Yunfeng and Xuan Shang are a little reserved. Even if they didn't like each other in the past, they are completely different now.

"hehe……"

Zhou Yi chuckled, thought for a while and said:

"Speaking of which, Zhou's process of advancing to the Taoist level is quite dangerous. If you are not careful, you may die. I still feel worried when I think about it."

"Yeah!" The two of them were shocked, and Xuanchang said anxiously:

"I was about to ask Senior Zhou... for advice."

"Don't!" Zhou Yi waved his hand:

"You two are several years older than me. We don't deserve to be called seniors. Just call us by their first names."

"No." Xuan Shang shook his head with a serious expression:

"On the path of spiritual practice, those who have mastered it are the teachers. Senior Zhou is one step closer to the path than us, so it is natural that we should call him senior."

"If you can give me some pointers, I'd be very grateful."

"Yes." Ling Yunfeng nodded in agreement:

"Senior Zhou, I don't know how the process of advancing to Daoji is going to be. Although the two of us have little hope, we are willing to give it a try if we have the chance."

"Actually, it's nothing." Seeing that the two of them were determined to do this, Zhou Yi stopped trying to persuade him and narrowed his eyes and said slowly:

"As the two of you said, to achieve the foundation of Taoism requires the convergence of essence, energy and spirit..."

With Golden Finger by his side, and Zizhen calming his aura by his side, there was no danger in advancing along the way, and on the contrary, he became more aware of the process.

How they meet and how they change are all felt one by one.

These experiences were extremely important to the two of them. They were so entranced that they had no idea that someone else had entered the room.

Zhou Yi told the story while looking at the two of them.

In his opinion.

Xuan Shang's foundation is not stable, and the possibility of advancing to Dao Ji is slim. However, Ling Yunfeng's foundation is solid and there is still a slight chance.

but,

Not much chance.

"Pah...pah..."

At this moment, crisp applause sounded, bringing the two of them back to their senses.

"Wonderful, wonderful!"

An old man in gray robes with white beard and white hair sat down across from me at some point. He was tapping his hands and said with admiration in his eyes:

"Fellow Taoist can describe the process of building the foundation of the Tao so clearly. It can be seen that the process of advancement is as easy as sailing along the river!"

"Shanjing, I am ashamed of myself!"

"It turns out that Taoist Shan Jing is in front of you." Zhou Yi nodded and said:

"I can't bear it."

He knew about Shan Jing, the Daoji monk of Qixuan Sect, the master behind this trip to the mountain, and the Qixiu Sword in his hand was extremely good.

Moreover, as Zizhen has said, this person is extremely hidden. Although he is only in the early stage of Daoji, he always gives people an unfathomable feeling.

The true strength is probably not the case!

"Uncle!"

"Uncle."

Ling Yunfeng and Xuanshang also came to their senses and stood up to salute the Taoist.

"Ha ha……"

Shan Jing laughed loudly, turned over his hands and took out a brocade box:

"I'm glad to hear that Batu Caves has another Taoist monk. I should have sent a congratulatory gift as soon as possible, but Batu Caves is closed and difficult to enter."

"Fortunately, it's not too late to meet today."

With that said, he raised his hand and put the brocade box on the table in front of Zhou Yi, and said with a smile:

"Qixuanmen has Zi Yuan Dan specially refined for Taoist monks. Although it is not as good as Tian Yuan Dan, it can still stabilize the foundation and increase cultivation."

"I happen to have a bottle with me, so I can borrow flowers to offer to Buddha."

"oh!"

Zhou Yi's eyes moved slightly and he opened the brocade box on the spot. Inside the brocade box was a transparent jade bottle with nine round pills inside.

Opening the cork of the bottle, a faint medicinal fragrance floats out. Just a slight sniff makes people feel refreshed and the magic power in the body speeds up.

"Good elixir!"

Zhou Yi’s eyes brightened:

"As expected of a sect outside the mountains, there are only a few pharmacists in the Hundred Thousand Mountains who can refine the elixirs required for the Dao Foundation. Zhou is ashamed."

If he could continue to acquire such elixirs, he would be sure to advance to the middle stage of Daoji within thirty years.

but……

Looking at the mountain mirror, you can tell that even in Qixuan Sect, there are not many such pills, let alone a continuous supply.

"Actually, Shiwandashan is rich in resources, including elixirs, exotic beasts, monsters, etc. There is no shortage of materials needed for alchemy." Shan Jing sighed softly and said:

"pity."

"If you want to become a qualified alchemist, you need to have a stable environment and try many medicinal materials. This is difficult to achieve."

Alchemists who can refine second-level elixirs are extremely rare even outside the mountains.

Hundreds of thousands of mountains are in constant dispute, making it even more difficult to cultivate.

Zhou Yi put away the elixir, raised his hand and asked:

"Zhou is new to Taoism and doesn't understand many things. He is about to ask the Taoist priest for advice. I hope he will give you some advice."

"Easy to say, easy to say." Shan Jing grinned:

"Speaking of which, we were able to acquire Xiaoheishanfang City thanks to our Taoist friends, who reciprocated the favor. If you have anything you want to ask, it's okay to say it. The poor Taoist knows everything."

Back then, Zhou Yi was qualified to carve up the six major areas of Heifeng Mountain, but Yushu took away his share, leaving only Xiaoheishanfang City.

Later Qixuanmen took over.

Nowadays, Fangshi is the dominant one, with the other two accounting for only 30% of the market share.

"May I ask, sir, what's going on over there in Huangcheng?"

"Desolate city?"

Shan Jing was stunned for a moment, his expression seemed to change slightly, he paused and said:

"As Pindao said before, Shiwanda Mountain is rich in materials, but there are constant disputes. However, there are few disputes outside the mountain but there is a lack of spiritual things."

"So someone set up a market a long time ago specifically for transactions between two parties. As time went by, the market became bigger and bigger, and gradually turned into the deserted city it is today."

"There is a Golden Pill Grandmaster in charge of Huangcheng, but..."

"It's not safe there!"

*

Zhou Yi came out this time mainly to purchase some supplies.

After the stone eye was shattered, countless formations hovered over the sea of ​​consciousness, including many third-level, fourth-level, and even higher-level formations.

Not to mention the innate Liangyi dust formation, if a fourth level formation could be deployed, it would be more than enough to trap and kill the Golden elixir master.

pity.

He couldn't understand the empty treasure trove.

Being able to decipher the formations left by the previous cave master only relied on the Deception Eye and the former cave master's own formation attainments which were not high in the first place.

Fortunately, the Consciousness Sea Formation is extremely detailed.

Each large formation can be decomposed into the most basic formation patterns. After a period of hard work, the formation can be refined according to the gourd's drawings.

With such a treasure, it would be a waste if not to learn the formation method.

Therefore, Zhou Yi plans to acquire some formation inheritance first. It doesn't matter if the grade is lower. The lower the better, it will be easier for him to get started.

In addition, there is the acquisition of spiritual materials.

Array flags are indispensable for setting up an array, and refining the array flags requires various spiritual materials. If a second-level high-grade formation can be laid out, one can still protect oneself even if one goes to a deserted city.

Standing in the courtyard with his hands behind his hands, Zhou Yi raised his head and looked at the sky, frowning slightly:

"Baoping'er hasn't come back yet?"

"No." Xuanshang shook his head, also looking puzzled:

"I have sent a message to her. I know that my senior is in Fangshi, and she should come back. Who knew that there has been no reply for so many days."

"Well..." Zhou Yi lowered his head, thought for a while and said:

"Is she out for something?"

"Yeah." Xuanchang nodded:

"Some time ago, several robbery cultivators appeared near Fang City. They first used the deceased's residence as bait to lure people out of Fang City and then killed them."

"This kind of thing is actually very common, but this group of people did it too blatantly and made people panic. Baoping'er was ordered to lead people to deal with it."

"Senior, don't worry."

She said seriously:

"Ping'er has a spiritual talisman given by his uncle and a middle-grade defensive weapon. Even if he faces a monk in the late stage of Qi refining, he can escape unscathed."

and,

Baoping'er's life was fine, and there was no emergency call indicating that there was no danger.

Of course there is no need to say such things.

"Is there any way to determine her location?" Zhou Yi said:

"If it's on my way, I'll go over and have a look. If it's not on my way, forget it. We'll talk about it later."

"some."

Xuanchang nodded and took out a token from his body:

"Senior, this object can react with the things on Ping'er's body, but she may not have seen my message at the critical moment of chasing the enemy."

"You should be back in two days. How many more days will you stay?"

In recent days, she and Ling Yunfeng had learned a lot from Zhou Yi. Seeing that he was leaving, they would inevitably feel a little reluctant to leave.

"No."

Zhou Yi shook his head and sighed:

"I can't help myself either."

Xuanshang raised his eyebrows, his eyes suddenly filled with confusion.

really.

Judging from the characteristics of the Batu Cave inheritance, although the other party has achieved Taoism, he has also become a spiritual contracted beast of the Zizhen Cave Master, and he has no control over life or death.

And even if it is Daoji, it will only extend the alienation for several decades. When the time limit is reached, it will still turn into an unintelligent alien.

Thinking of this, Xuanshang's eyes couldn't help but feel pity when he looked over.

At the same time, my mood is much more relaxed.

She was a little jealous at first, but now she thinks that although the other party has achieved Taoism, he has also lost his freedom, which may not be a good thing.

Zhou Yi could see all the changes in her expression, and could even sense the fluctuations in her thoughts, and couldn't help but smile when he saw it.

"gone!"

He waved his hands, shook his sleeves, and used a black cloud to drag his body down, flying high into the sky.

When the black clouds rose to be level with the clouds, there was a flash of light on them, and the black gradually became transparent, and finally it was difficult to see the trace with the naked eye.

…………

"It's a little off."

Standing on top of the clouds, Zhou Yi looked at the location of Baoping'er, pondered for a moment, and rode the black clouds towards the Black Wind Mountain.

After a while.

Weighing the token in his hand, he chuckled.

Although we are not walking in a straight line, the distance to Aquarius is getting closer and closer. In this case, we might as well go over and have a look.

I haven’t seen this girl for some years, and I really miss her.

Besides, I am already a Daoji monk, so I don't need to be so cautious.

Whether it is Qianman Mountain or Wanling Cave, the strongest person is only in the middle stage of Daoji, and can escape even if he is defeated.

"Uh-huh!"

The black clouds that concealed his movements suddenly accelerated and headed straight for the direction indicated by the token.

When he was still several miles away from the location where the token was detected, Zhou Yi reached out and touched the center of his eyebrows, and slowly opened his 'Deception Eye'.

The magic eye flashes, and the mana in the body is consumed rapidly.

"Um?"

Zhou Yi groaned.

If you do not activate the magic eye power and use it as the third vertical eye user, it will not consume mana, but once the magical power is activated...

With his new level of magical power, he couldn't even hold on to a stick of incense, especially when looking into the distance.

As far as the 'sight' can reach, many spiritual lights between heaven and earth enter the vertical eye.

The earth's veins flow like the tide, thick and endless. The mountains and rivers are also different, and the trees breathe like people.

Miles away.

The intertwined spiritual lights formed a big net, just waiting for the fish to fall into it.

"Ah……"

Withdrawing his Dharma Eyes, Zhou Yi shook his head gently, then the black clouds folded and headed towards the Black Wind Mountain.

"Fellow Taoist, stay!"

A sword light rose from the mountain forest below, and a clear voice sounded:

"Now that you're here, why bother leaving in a hurry?"

Zhou Yi turned a deaf ear, the black clouds under his feet accelerated crazily, and even retracted the method of concealing his whereabouts, flying all the way.

"snort!"

The female voice turns cold:

"If you don't eat the toast, you will be punished with alcohol!"

"Uh-huh!"

Several rays of cold light swept from behind, passing through the land of Lixu in the blink of an eye, and blasted towards Zhou Yi on top of the clouds at an astonishing speed.

The cold light ruler is long, shaped like a steel needle, and has an exposed edge.

Seeing that he couldn't escape, Zhou Yi could only use his Xuanwu shield to block back.

"boom!"

Balls of strange green flames exploded in the air, and the huge driving force made Zhou Yi groan, and his body fell towards the forest below.

Fortunately, Xuanwu Shield is enough to get to know each other, so it won't be a problem for a while.

"It's you!"

After landing, Zhou Yi could clearly see the person coming, and his eyes couldn't help but shrink:

"Fairy Changhua of Wanling Cave!"

Changhua,

Zizhen's enemy.

The other party has actually achieved Taoism, and it seems that his foundation is not weak.

The reason why Zhou Yi recognized the other party was because Chang Hua was blinded by Zizhen, and he still has one eye now.

There aren't many one-eyed female experts around.

"Huh?" The visitor landed not far away and raised his eyebrows upon hearing this:

"You're quite polite. I thought I couldn't escape being called a temptress."

"Don't dare."

Zhou Yi took a step back and said:

"I wonder why the fairy left Zhou behind."

"It's very simple." Changhua's face condensed and he said:

"Help me take down that witch Zizhen!"

"If you agree, you can sign a contract with me, Wanling Cave, and become a magical beast from Wanling Cave. It will not only increase your cultivation but also delay the alienation of your body."

"If the demon girl Zizhen is destroyed, you will also receive a share of the benefits from Black Wind Mountain."
