Cultivation Begins From The Desert

It is a fact that Xue Youming seized the house and Zhou Yang died.

However, the fact is not only that simple.

What Zhou Yang didn't tell Taoist Qingyang and Xue Youming was that while "Qianyang True Fire" refined Xue Youming's soul, it also allowed him to fuse and receive some memory fragments of Xue Youming, and after Xue Youming's soul was refined, There is still a very small part of the power of the godless soul that has been absorbed and fused by him.

Although these memory fragments and masterless soul power fused by him are less than one percent of the total, their quality is extremely high, and they are derived from Xue Youming, the golden core nine-level demon cultivator.

Through fusing the memory fragments of Blood Nether, Zhou Yang didn't know the hiding place of Xue Moluo that he always wanted to know, but he did know the location of Blood Nether's treasure.

It turned out that Xue Youming had a premonition that it might be difficult for him to be kind today when he fought Qingyang Taoist at the site of the Yin Puppet Sect.

Therefore, before fleeing for his life, he hid the storage ring containing his life savings and the storage ring seized from the "Master Jinguang" in a certain place on the oasis ruins, waiting for himself to seize it. After success, find a chance to go back and get it back.

Because the effect of the "Magic Subduing Technique" on his body had not disappeared at that time, and with the help of the super stealth ability brought by the transformation into a blood ape monster, his small movements were not discovered by Taoist Qingyang and Cao Wenjin.

Later, when he blew up his golden core, his body was blown into air. Taoist Qingyang and Cao Wenjin thought that all the magical objects stored on his body had been blown up, so how could he have thought that he had hidden the things long ago.

It's just that although Zhou Yang learned the location of the treasure by fusing the memory fragments of Blood Nether, he currently has no intention of taking the treasure.

Of course, this is not because he has the ability to predict the future, knowing that Cao Wenjin will send someone to monitor him, but that the two storage artifacts have the brand of spiritual consciousness left by the Jindan stage monks. Even if the treasure is held in the hand, it is impossible to erase the imprint of the Jindan Stage cultivator's spiritual consciousness and take out the treasure.

If that's the case, he is naturally in no hurry to go back to get these two storage artifacts.

Anyway, only he knew the location of the two treasures. It was much safer to keep them where they were than to take them now and put them on him or in the treasure house of the Zhou family.

When he opens up the Purple Mansion in the future and is promoted to become a cultivator of the Purple Mansion, and has the strength to erase the imprint of the spiritual consciousness of the Golden Core stage monks, it will not be too late to retrieve the two storage artifacts.

As for why he is suddenly confident that he will be able to successfully open up the Purple Mansion in the future, and that he will be able to erase the brand of spiritual consciousness left by the monks in the Golden Core Stage during the Purple Mansion Stage, he still has to rely on the power of the masterless soul that he has absorbed.

When Xue Youming seized Zhou Yang, although he almost devoured his soul consciousness, it also made him a blessing in disguise, thus expanding the sea of ​​consciousness in the upper dantian more than ten times.

After all, Xue Youming is a cultivator at the ninth level of the golden core, even if only his soul is left after the golden core blew up, the essence of the soul is much stronger than that of any cultivator in the purple mansion period.

Therefore, when he seized Zhou Yang, he had already used his powerful soul power to expand Zhou Yang's sea of ​​consciousness, and prepared to open up the Purple Mansion for the soul to live in in one step. The mana cultivation base of Yang's body has been raised to the purple mansion stage.

It's just that he had just completed about half of this work, when it triggered the backlash of the "Qianyang Precious Body", and was burnt out of his wits by the "Qianyang True Fire".

Although Xue Youming was burned to death, his achievements in expanding Zhou Yang's sea of ​​knowledge are still there. After Zhou Yang's work, he has almost completed half of the Zifu development work.

Moreover, Xue Youming's process of expanding his sea of ​​consciousness was clearly "seen" by him. It was as if someone had demonstrated to him the process of opening up the Purple Mansion, and it was a demonstration based on his own template.

At the same time, by fusing and absorbing the power of the masterless soul that escaped after being refined by the blood ghost soul, the consciousness that was originally far beyond that of ordinary cultivators of the same rank has been greatly enhanced once again, almost comparable to that of Chen Ping'an. The kind of senior foundation-building nine-story monk who failed to open up the Zifu once.

In this case, when his cultivation reaches the ninth floor of foundation building, even without the help of treasures like "Purple Heart Chalcedony" to help open up the Purple Mansion, his success rate of opening the Purple Mansion is at least 70%!

So, it's no wonder that he is confident that after opening up the Purple Mansion, he will retrieve the two magical artifacts hidden by Xue Youming, and erase the imprint of the Jindan stage monk's spiritual consciousness in them.

With such a great benefit, it's no wonder Zhou Yang didn't dare to tell the truth. If he was telling the truth, how could he still have his share in the two storage artifacts?

But Zhou Yang didn't know if it was an illusion. He always felt that Qingyang Taoist should have discovered something he concealed. Yes, otherwise it would be impossible to say that he was destined to form a golden core and then visit Xuanyang Xianzong.

If even the Purple Mansion can't be opened up successfully, how can we talk about forming a golden elixir?

Of course, no matter whether it was his delusion, or whether Taoist Qingyang really found out about the abnormal change in his sea of ​​consciousness, in short, the other party left without delving into the matter, which just showed that his attitude would not delve into the matter, and he also There is no need to worry about this.

A few days later, Zhou Yang returned safely to the Baisha River Oasis.

At this time, the news of Xue Youming's fall has not yet spread completely, but the various cultivating families have received orders from the Huang Shamen to let the monks of each family form a team to conduct a dragnet search. All the monks in the prefectural period were sent to various large oases to sit in town. Once there was news of the magic cultivator, they could immediately provide support at the fastest speed.

Therefore, after Zhou Yang returned to the Baisha River Oasis, he discovered that the number of Foundation Establishment cultivators stationed in Ping'anfang City had decreased by more than half, and even the ancestors of the Chen family had left the oasis in person and led a team to search.

"After Chen Pingan used the [Purple Heart Chalcedony] exchanged from Huang Shamen to successfully open up the Purple Mansion, Old Ancestor Chen personally led the team to search the small oases around. According to his old man, the magic cultivator also needs to know the outside information. , so even if it is hidden, it is impossible to hide in the uninhabited desert all the time."

In the Yuquan Building, after Zhou Yang came back, he first came here to meet his parents, and at the same time, he also learned from his father Zhou Xuanhao what happened in the world of cultivating immortals in Baisha River Oasis over the past year.

"Oh, Shamen Huang is actually willing to take out the precious [Purple Heart Chalcedony] for Chen Pingan to use?" Zhou Yang's expression changed, he was quite surprised by the news his father Zhou Xuanhao said.

Zhang Yunpeng had made it very clear to him at the beginning that Huang Shamen would never sell such treasures as "Purple Heart Chalcedony" to outsiders, so what's the situation now?

"It is said that Jiang Patriarch, who fell from the Huangshamen, bought it from the world of cultivating immortals in Liuyunzhou, including the Foundation Establishment Pill that Liu's family got. There are still hundreds of Foundation Establishment Pills stored in the door's treasury, so this time Huang Shamen asked people to leave the oasis to find traces of magic cultivators, everyone was very active and there was not much resistance."

Zhou Xuanhao also heard Zhou Yang talk about Zhang Yunpeng's digging, and now he understood his doubts, and immediately told all the information he knew.

He has been stationed here in Fangshi for a long time, and he is much more informed than Zhou Yang in terms of news.

And Zhou Yang had the experience of traveling with Taoist Qingyang, and when Zhou Xuanhao said this, he immediately understood the reason.

"I see! Chen Ping'an is really lucky!"

"Now Old Ancestor Chen must be very happy, right? Although the Chen family lost a few foundation-building monks due to the invasion of demon cultivators, they also added a Zifu monk. From the family level, it is definitely a big profit. !"

Zhou Yang sighed with envy on his face, and had to lament the luck of the Chen family.

Previously, the Chen family lost several foundation-building monks. They all thought that the Chen family was about to decline, but who would have thought that in just a few years, the Chen family would have another Zifu monk, who became the Boundless Sand Sea Cultivator. The only immortal cultivating family in the fairy world with monks from the Shuangzi Mansion!

However, while Zhou Yang lamented the good luck of the Chen family, he also knew that luck also needs to have enough strength to grasp it.

The Chen family bumped into Huang Shamen and suddenly obtained several "Purple Heart Chalcedony" opportunities from the Liuyunzhou Immortal Cultivation World. An extremely rare fourth-rank top-grade alchemist, this opportunity really does not have any share from them.

Zhou Yang just wanted to know with his ass that the ancestors of the Chen family must have paid a huge price in order to let Huang Shamen give a share of "Purple Heart Chalcedony" to Chen Pingan to open up the Purple Mansion, and this price is definitely not A small family like the Zhou family can afford it.

"However, Chen Ping's opening up the Purple Mansion is also a good thing for our Zhou family. Doesn't he still owe our Zhou family a favor? The favor of a monk in the Purple Mansion period is much more valuable than that of a monk in the Foundation Establishment period!"

He thought about the favor Chen Pingan had promised to owe for his daughter-in-law Zhou Yuanxia, ​​and he felt a lot of balance in his mind.

The Chen family may have made a profit, but their Zhou family will not lose either.

While Zhou Yang was thinking about this, Zhou Xuanzhen suddenly looked at him and said, "Yang'er, although the Chen family has not yet held a celebration for Chen Ping's promotion to the purple mansion due to the special period, each family has sent people In the past, we gave gifts to congratulate, although our Zhou family also gave gifts to congratulate our father, but as the patriarch of the Zhou family, since you are back, you'd better pay a visit to White Camelback in person!"

"Father said that my son will go to the White Hump right now." Zhou Yang nodded, and had no objection to Zhou Xuanhao's suggestion.

Making friends with Chen Pingan is what the Zhou family has been doing for a long time. Now that Chen Pingan has successfully opened up the Purple Mansion, they naturally cannot slack off in this regard.

Immediately, Zhou Yang selected a section of the body of "Earth Dragon Earthworm" from his personal storage bag as a gift, and took the gift directly to Chen Ping'an on the white hump of the Chen family.
