Cultivation Begins From The Desert

Chihu Ridge was the name Zhou Yang finally gave to the third-level spiritual mountain above the new oasis after discussing with the old patriarch Zhou Minghan.

The name of Lingshan was named after the monster race that originally occupied Lingshan. This is also the practice of immortal cultivators naming Lingshan blessed land, including using the names of immortal cultivators.

As for the name of the new oasis, it has not been named yet, so there is no rush anyway.

However, after Zhou Yang left the Lingshan assigned to the Lu family and returned to Chihuling, he first asked the Gryphon to take the Fengying Leopard who was locked in a cave to have fun on the oasis.

Then he took out the fourth-level low-level formation "Sky Wind Cloud Thunder Formation" and the third-level high-level phantom formation "Mirage Cloud Wave Formation" that he bought in Xuanyang Pavilion, and handed them to Zhou Guangxiang, and arranged the two formations together with him. On Red Fox Ridge.

Whether it is the "Sky Wind, Cloud and Thunder Formation" or the "Mirage Cloud Wave Formation", they are all higher than the "Wanmu Qingtian Formation" arranged by the Zhou family on Yuquan Peak and the "Earth Spirit Profound Handle Formation" on Haoyang Mountain. high.

The higher the rank of the formation, the stronger the power and the greater the range of coverage.

The "Wanmu Qingtian Formation" on Yuquan Peak can only cover the area from the mountainside to the top of the mountain, but after the two formations on Chihu Ridge are completed, it can cover the entire main peak of the mountain.

Moreover, once these two formations are set up, as long as there are more than three foundation-building monks presiding over them, even the early-stage monks of the Purple Mansion come to attack, and they can persist for more than a day. If you use the formation, you may even be injured by the "Sky Wind, Cloud and Thunder Formation".

After setting up the formation, Zhou Yang just looked at Zhou Guangxiang and said, "Guangxiang, you will practice here for a long time in the future, and it happens that your sister Guangxiang is also here. You brothers and sisters are going to the mountain now to see where you think it is suitable to open a cave. If you want to live, you can open up a cave and live in it yourself."

Zhou Guangxiang is a formation mage, and if he is here in Chihuling, it will be of great help to the power of the mountain protection formation, which is why Zhou Yang let him sit here.

In fact, according to Zhou Yang's plan, he will let Zhou Xuanyu, the adoptive mother who sits in Haoyang Mountain, also come here to practice and live in seclusion.

Compared to the already exposed Haoyang Mountain, Chihu Ridge is undoubtedly more concealed and safer.

"Nephew understands."

Zhou Guangxiang didn't have any objection to Zhou Yang's arrangement. He had just succeeded in building the foundation and still had a lot to learn. It was also his wish to be able to practice peacefully in retreat at Chihu Ridge.

After dismissing Zhou Guangxiang, Zhou Yang took Taoist Xiao Ying's jade hand and pointed to the cave where the three-tailed demon fox lived before, and said, "Ying'er, that's where we will always live in the cave, and how you like to decorate the cave is up to you! "

Women have always had higher requirements for housing than men. When Xiao Ying heard that Zhou Yang asked her to open and decorate the cave, not only did she not have any unhappy thoughts, but she was very happy to break ground with her flying sword.

At this time, only Zhou Xuanzhao, Zhou Guangxiang and a few Qi training period monks remained here on Chihu Ridge who had not yet arranged tasks.

For these people, Zhou Yang directly ordered to arrange work.

"Guangxiang, you Lingzhi husbands, first go to measure the Lingshan Mountain to see where it is suitable to be opened up as a spiritual field, and where is suitable to be opened up as a fruit orchard or a medicine garden. After the measurement is complete, the place will be marked and opened up slowly."

"Uncle Seventeen and Brother Fifteen, you two, come with me to the Firebat Cave to see how to tame those flying firebats!"

Firebat Cave is located in a dark and dry shady mountain stream at the foot of Chihuling Mountain. The cave is hundreds of feet deep underground. The entrance of the cave is a horizontal crack in the ground. The crack is about one foot wide and more than ten feet long. The formation was developed by some kind of monster.

At this time, the entrance of the cave has been blocked by Zhou Yang with the "Small Five Elements Lost Formation". With his deliberately left aura here, the flying fire bats inside dare not come out to check the situation for a short time.

After Zhou Yang brought the seventeenth uncle Zhou Xuanzhao and the fifteenth brother Zhou Yuanliang two beast tamers to the outside of the cave, they did not remove the formation at the entrance of the cave, but used the "golden cicada hiding breath technique" to restrain the breath to the initial stage of foundation establishment. level, and then released a third-order defensive spell to the two of them, and then led the two into the cave.

The cave was very dark, and it was not illuminated with light jade like the cave of the Three-Tailed Demon Fox.

This is normal.

Bats are nocturnal animals and are born with dark vision. Although the flying fire bats are not as afraid of the outside sunlight as ordinary bats, they definitely prefer dark environments by nature, which will make them feel safe.

In comparison, although immortal cultivators also have good night vision ability, in such a dark environment, they still need to use the "celestial eye technique" to see the environment in the cave clearly, even a foundation-building cultivator like Zhou Yang is no exception.

Of course, with Zhou Yang's powerful spiritual consciousness, the entire Firebat Cave is covered by his spiritual consciousness. Even without the help of his eyes, he can clearly see all the arrangements inside.

In his spiritual perception, the flying firebats in the cave obviously noticed the entry of outsiders, and now they are all huddled in the deepest part of the cave, the bat king's lair, as if they want to use the residual breath of the flying firebat king to find a sense of security, but Seeing their trembling and anxious looks, it is obvious that the effect of doing so is not as good as they imagined.

"Patriarch, we can collect the bat feces on the ground later. These are the best fertilizers for Lingtian. If the family's white jade grape saplings can use this material to increase their fertilizer, the yield can be increased by at least 30%!"

The Firebat Cave was quiet, only the footsteps of the three of Zhou Yang echoed, and because of the large amount of bat feces deposited in the cave, the sound of the three people's feet stepping on it was actually not loud.

At this time, Zhou Yang heard the words of the Seventeenth Uncle Zhou Xuanzhao, and couldn't help but look down at the thick bat droppings under his feet, then nodded slightly with the corners of his eyes twitching and said: "Seventeenth Uncle is right, then this job will be done later. Just leave it to you to host."

Zhou Xuanzhao originally made suggestions from a professional point of view, but Zhou Yang would say that, his old face blushed, and he muttered in embarrassment: "Uh, let those juniors do this, let them do it. Cultivate a good habit of diligence and frugality from an early age!"

At any rate, he is one of the few remaining seniors of the "Xuan" generation in the Zhou family. If he had to do the feces collection himself, what would his old face be if it was spread out!

"Well, then I will leave this matter to Uncle Seventeen to arrange."

Zhou Yang suppressed his smile, nodded and let the clan uncle go.

Of course he knew that bat dung could be used as fertilizer, but how could he talk about it while stepping on bat dung?

Zhou Xuanzhao also has been engaged in the work of domesticating spirit beasts for a long time. When encountering matters related to his job, he forgets the worldly wisdom. He instinctively wants to consider things from the perspective of maximizing benefits, but forgets about the occasion.

After being reminded by Zhou Yang's little joke, he immediately understood what the problem was, and quickly responded: "Don't worry, the patriarch, I will definitely handle this matter well."

Several people were talking, and soon reached the depths of the Firebat Cave.

Squeak!

In the Firebat Cave, when Zhou Yang took Zhou Xuanzhao and Zhou Yuanliang to the deepest part of the cave, the flying firebat, who was huddled here, finally couldn't hold back the screams of fear and shouted at the three of them. attack.

The flying firebat has two attack methods, sonic attack and fire magic attack. As for the melee ability, it is almost negligible.

The flying firebats in the firebat cave are all juveniles, except for the four pregnant female flying firebats whose attacks are still interesting, the attacks of the rest of the flying firebats are all for Zhou Yang and the others.

However, these flying firebats were so hostile, which Zhou Yang and the others did not expect.

"Patriarch, let's get out first, I'm afraid this matter must be discussed at a long-term perspective!"

Zhou Xuanzhao has been taming beasts for many years. When he saw this situation, he immediately suggested to Zhou Yang to leave first, so as not to disturb the bat swarm and cause greater stimulation to the bat swarm.

Although Zhou Yang had a third-tier high-grade Gryphon beast mount, he was a real layman in animal taming. Now that he heard the advice of a professional like Zhou Xuanzhao, he immediately nodded kindly and led the two out of the fire bat Hole.

After the three of them exited the Firebat Cave and cleaned off the dirt on their shoes, Zhou Xuanzhao looked at Zhou Yang with a straight face and said, "Patriarch Mingjian, judging from my experience in taming animals, those underage flying firebats, I'm afraid the chances of domestication are low, so I suggest separate domestication of the bat colony, first isolate the four pregnant flying fire bats, and domesticate the cubs after they give birth."

"As for the juvenile flying firebats, you can try to catch them one by one and domesticate them individually. Even if they fail to be domesticated, you can lock them up in the firebat cave and keep them for breeding."

Hearing this, Zhou Yang couldn't help turning his gaze to Zhou Yuanliang, another animal trainer of the Zhou family who had never spoken, and asked, "How about you, fifteenth brother? Do you have any different suggestions?"

"I also agree with Uncle Seventeen's proposal of differentiation and domestication, but I suggest that if we want to capture the flying fire bats, it's better not to be caught by us immortal cultivators, because that will make the flying fire bats have a greater impact on our monks." Resistance."

"It just so happens that the flame-eating spiders domesticated by our Zhou family can complete this task. The spider webs spit out by adult flame-eating spiders are definitely not something that juvenile flying fire bats can break free from, even the four female flying fire bats whose strength has decreased after pregnancy , it will be difficult to break free in a while."

"It will be very helpful for the next domestication work if the flame-eating spider captures the flying fire bat and brings it out, and then our animal trainer rescues it with our own hands."

Zhou Yuanliang thought for a while, and whispered his suggestion.

His suggestion is undoubtedly very useful. Even if Zhou Yang doesn't know how to tame animals, he can hear that this suggestion is very reasonable.

After Zhou Xuanzhao heard it, he immediately clapped his hands and shouted: "Wonderful, what Yuan Liang said makes a lot of sense. Using flame-eating spiders to suppress flying fire bats and monster beasts to control monster beasts, this is a senior beast trainer!" methods that they often use."
