Cultivation Begins From The Desert

Qingping Mountain Oasis.

Ever since the old patriarch Zhou Minghan adopted Zhou Yang's strategy and began to implement it, in order to prevent the third-order [Poison Fire Scorpion King] from attacking and retaliation, more than a dozen late-stage Qi training monks of the Zhou family retreated to this oasis first.

The spiritual veins on the Qingping Mountain Oasis are only of the second-level low-grade, and the spiritual energy produced every day can only supply one monk in the late stage of Qi training and seven or eight monks in the early and middle stages of Qi training. Now more than a dozen monks in the late stage of Qi training gather here. Immediately, the aura of Lingmai was not enough.

There is no doubt about the importance of spiritual veins and spiritual energy to immortal practitioners.

If a cultivator wants to improve his cultivation normally, he must practice on the spiritual vein corresponding to his own cultivation.

Take an immortal cultivator during the Qi training period as an example, if he does not practice on a second-order spiritual vein like Qingping Mountain, but only in an oasis or desert wilderness outside, then his practice speed will be reduced by ten times. Cultivating on a third-tier middle-grade spiritual vein like Yuquanfeng, the speed of practice will increase slightly from the normal level.

For a cultivator above the Foundation Establishment Stage, it would be a dream to make further progress in cultivation base with the thin content of heaven and earth spiritual energy in the outside world without spiritual veins.

Therefore, in the world of cultivating immortals, all immortal cultivators who still want to improve their cultivation will try their best to occupy a spiritual vein to practice.

According to the level of a spirit vein, there is also a limit on the amount of aura it can produce every day. Once there are too many monks on the spirit vein and the daily consumption of aura exceeds this limit, the spirit vein may drop to a higher level or even dry up and dissipate .

The Qingping Mountain spiritual vein was cultivated by the family with a huge amount of spiritual stones. Of course, the monks of the Zhou family would not do the stupid thing of drinking poison to quench their thirst.

So after everyone's discussion, it was unanimously decided to give up the spiritual vein to Zhou Yang, the future hope of the Zhou family, to practice. The rest of the people, including his parents, retreated to the oasis outside the mountain to refine the spiritual energy in the spiritual stone. Come to practice.

Spiritual stones are spiritual things formed by highly condensed and concentrated spiritual energy from the heavens and the earth. The total amount of spiritual energy contained in a low-grade spiritual stone is comparable to the spiritual energy required by a monk in the foundation-building period for a day, and it is enough for a seven-level Qi training practitioner. Used by monks for ten days of practice.

Therefore, many low-level casual cultivators who cannot occupy the spiritual veins to practice, in order to improve their cultivation, can only absorb the spiritual energy in the spiritual stones to practice every day.

Doing so will naturally consume spirit stones, and few casual cultivators are rich enough to use this method to improve their cultivation all year round.

The biggest reason why low-level casual cultivators are lower than their sects and family cultivators of the same age, and poor in pockets, is actually here.

The Zhou family's monks in the late stage of Qi training are not too poor, and refining spirit stones for a short period of time is just a trivial matter for them, but no one will have any opinions on this.

Zhou Yang also knew the weight of the responsibilities he shouldered now, and he silently accepted the kindness of the elders, without any pretentious words of excuse.

On the other side, the old patriarch Zhou Minghan flew to the sky above the sand slope immediately after Zhou Yang and the others left and set fire to it.

There is no need to kill a chicken with a butcher's knife, just burn some ordinary desert plants. Zhou Minghan doesn't need to waste his mana to release the real foundation building fire. He only needs to release a simple second-level high-level spell "Sea of ​​Fire" plus a small second-level low-level spell. With the spell "gale wind", a fire ignited up and down the sandy slope.

Crackling!

The fire spread everywhere, and the fur of some desert animals hiding on the sandy slope was instantly ignited, making a bean-like popping sound and the smell of meat.

All of a sudden, all kinds of animal roars, snake hisses, and birdsong rang together, and the sounds were extremely miserable and full of despair.

Zhou Minghan stood at a height of hundreds of meters and looked down, desert animals fleeing crazily with flames could be seen everywhere. At this time, the thick fur of these animals to resist the desert's severe cold at night and high temperature during the day, on the contrary, became A life-threatening spell.

Except for a few animals such as gerbils and sand foxes that dig holes very fast, they dig holes into the thick yellow sand in time and rely on the sand to extinguish the flames on their bodies. Seventy to eighty percent of the desert animals were turned into coke in the raging flames.

Even those poisonous fire scorpions hiding in the sand, many of them were burned to death by the soaring fire.

This sudden change on the sandy slope quickly alarmed the third-order monster [Poison Fire Scorpion King] who was practicing in the cave deep underground on the sandy slope.

This third-order monster quickly rushed out of the cave where it was hiding after hearing the screams of "hissing" from its fellow clansmen. There is no threat.

sizzle!

As soon as the dark red giant scorpion as big as a calf appeared, it danced a pair of huge scorpion pincers and screamed at Zhou Minghan in the sky. The monster felt a great threat.

However, Zhou Minghan didn't even bother to pay attention to it. He just released a shining third-level flying sword and harvested those low-level poisonous fire scorpions in front of it.

This kind of provocative behavior greatly enraged 【Poison Fire Scorpion King】, and saw it slammed its pair of pincers on the ground, shaking the entire sandy slope and setting off a huge sandstorm in an instant.

The yellow sand flying all over the sky not only covered Zhou Minghan's sight in the sky, but also quickly extinguished most of the spreading fire.

Just like the difference between the foundation building period and the Qi training period, the strength gap between the third-tier monsters and the second-tier monsters is also huge.

Every move of a third-tier monster can cause a small-scale natural disaster. If there are no immortal cultivators of the same level to fight against it, a third-tier monster can destroy a small oasis like Qingping Mountain Oasis.

At this time, seeing [Poison Fire Scorpion King] attacking in anger, although Zhou Minghan was not afraid of the opponent, he did not rush to fight with him. Instead, he quickly withdrew his flying sword and directly withdrew from the battlefield with his sword.

Monsters are not like immortal cultivators, as long as they reach the foundation building stage, they can learn to fly with a sword. Except for bird monsters and a few monsters with special supernatural powers, most of the land monsters and water monsters cannot fly at the fourth level. Mastered the ability to fly before.

Therefore, when the immortal cultivators in the foundation building stage face a third-tier land monster like the [Poisonous Fire Scorpion King], as long as they don't fight in the opponent's underground lair, they can easily grasp the initiative on the battlefield.

Of course, the reverse is also the same. Although [Poison Fire Scorpion King] cannot fly, if it wants to burrow into the ground and leave, it will be difficult for the immortal cultivators at the foundation establishment stage to keep it on the ground unless they set up formations to stop it in advance.

And on the sandy slope, [Poison Fire Scorpion King] found Zhou Minghan leaving, only thought that the other party was frightened by the strength he displayed, it neighed triumphantly and waved two large scorpion pincers to show off to the younger brothers for a while , and stretched out its claws to a nearby Tier 1 poisonous fire scorpion that was half-burned to death.

This poor poisonous fire scorpion finally escaped from the fire, and before he had time to rejoice, he was eaten by his "king" as dinner.

After eating an injured clansman, [Poison Fire Scorpion King] glanced fiercely at the other trembling ordinary poison fire scorpions, hissed and gave a few orders before returning to the underground cave to sleep.

And after [Poison Fire Scorpion King] left, the entire group of Poison Fire Scorpions immediately ushered in a carnival. Those desert animals that were burned to death by Zhou Minghan were the main course of this carnival, including those who died. The dead poisonous fire scorpion body.

All the poisonous fire scorpions including [Poison Fire Scorpion King] did not realize how much harm the destruction of the desert vegetation around the sand slope would bring to their own group.

In the eyes of these monsters, today's battle is no different from when the scorpions were attacked by powerful monsters before. Although the intruders killed some members of the scorpions, they were still driven away by their powerful "kings" Well, as for the dead members of the same race, as long as the scorpion group is still there, new members will be born to join soon.

It wasn't until half a month later, when [Poison Fire Scorpion King] woke up from a deep sleep and found that the number of scorpions had greatly decreased and were killing each other due to lack of food, did it realize the viciousness of the fire.

It's just that the evil effect has already appeared at this time. Although [Poison Fire Scorpion King] is strong, it is impossible to conjure a large amount of food out of thin air to save the scorpions.

As a last resort, [Poison Fire Scorpion King] could only take the initiative to clean up the old, weak, sick, and weak in the scorpion group and feed them to the healthy ones, and then drive all the surviving poisonous fire scorpions out of the underground cave, and let them go to the cave by themselves. Foraging and hunting in the depths of the desert.

However, [Poison Fire Scorpion King] did not expect that just after it drove the scorpions out of the underground cave, Zhou Minghan, the old patriarch who has been monitoring the situation on Shatupo, immediately seized the opportunity to kill these poisonous fire scorpions that left the nest Dozens of them, and before it heard the distress signal, the extremely chic Yu Jian flew away from the scene.

After this lesson, [Poison Fire Scorpion King] still didn't understand that he and the scorpions were being targeted. He was also a wise monster, so he immediately changed the order so that the scorpions could not move on the ground when they left their nests to hunt. Then he also secretly followed the scorpion hunting from the nest and waited for an opportunity to sneak attack.

It was not easy for Zhou Minghan to find the poisonous fire scorpion digging holes under the sand, and the sneak attack of the [Poisonous fire scorpion king] almost made him roll over.

After trying to attack a few more times, Zhou Minghan, who found that he could no longer take advantage of it, finally turned around and returned to the Qingping Mountain Oasis.
