Cultivation Begins From The Desert

During the trip to the Qin family in Wanhua Mountain, although Zhou Yang didn't get the "Purple Heart and Chalcedony" he wanted most, the harvest was not small.

In particular, through this trip to Wanhua Mountain, he established some friendships with some domestic Zifu period monks in Jinyang, and took an important step for himself to integrate into the circle of high-ranking monks in the Far West.

After returning to Haoyang Immortal City, Zhou Yang first went to visit Taoist couple Xiao Ying, and gave her several elixirs he had exchanged at the "Yibao Conference", and then the two of them wandered in Haoyang Immortal City together. After half a month, they each returned to the cave to continue their practice.

Zhou Yang returned to the cave, he didn't rush to retreat and take the elixir to improve his cultivation, but took out the materials exchanged at the "Yi Bao Conference" and started refining the furnace.

The materials he got this time were a bit more than expected, so he directly refined six "Da Yan Shen Light Sabers" in one breath, and added the twelve "Da Yan Shen Light Sabers" he had originally. , is a set of eighteen flying swords.

Eighteen "Da Yan Shen Light Swords", each of which is a fourth-order high-grade magic weapon, and it is also a boutique among them.

Relying on these eighteen flying swords, even if Zhou Yang didn't use the magical power of "Qianyang True Fire", it would be difficult to find an opponent in the Zifu period.

It's just that so many flying swords consume a lot of his spiritual consciousness and mana. Even if his spiritual power is much stronger than that of monks of the same level, he can only support an hour of fighting at most, and his mana will be exhausted. .

So unless it is a battle that must be won, Zhou Yang still has to save mana as much as possible to deal with unexpected changes.

After the Feijian was refined, Zhou Yang entered the practice room, and took the spiritual pill for intensive cultivation that he had exchanged from the "Yibao Conference".

He originally thought that he would practice like this until the ten-year auction in Haoyang Immortal City was held before leaving the retreat. However, he had just practiced in retreat for a year when he was called out of the retreat room by Feijian, a message sent by Jin Qu.

"This underground auction is a bit special. The venue is not in Haoyang Immortal City, but in a secret place outside the city."

"Based on Jin's experience, usually the auction will be held outside the city. Most of the time, there is a serious problem with the source of the items at the auction, so the auctioneer will be concerned about the reaction of Hao Yangzong, and the venue will be held outside the city. held outside the city."

"So whether you want to participate in this underground auction or not, you have to decide for yourself, Fellow Daoist Zhou!"

In Qingyuan Pavilion, facing Zhou Yang's visit, after the shopkeeper Jin Qu warmly received him, he looked at him with a serious face and told the truth.

Since his trip to Wanhua Mountain, Zhou Yang felt that Jin Qu was someone he could turn to. When he came back, he also sold some spiritual objects that he didn't need to Qingyuan Pavilion, and returned a batch of spiritual stones in his hand.

In this way, he got the spirit stone, and Jin Qu also got a performance, and the relationship between the two became much closer.

Moreover, Jin Qu already knew his identity as a fourth-rank high-grade craftsman, and even his Taoist companion Xiao Ying's identity as a fourth-rank low-grade alchemist.

With these two identities, Jin Qu is also very happy to establish a good relationship with their couple.

Otherwise, just relying on Zhao Hao's original token, Jin Qu wouldn't talk so much to Zhou Yang now.

"Thank you for the reminder, Fellow Daoist Jin, Zhou will be more careful."

Zhou Yang bowed his hands solemnly, nodded, and accepted Jin Qu's favor, but he was not willing to let go of this opportunity because of this.

It is well known that underground auctions are not safe, otherwise they would not have been held in the dark.

Zhou Yang did not forget that when he was still in the Foundation Establishment Stage, he participated in this kind of underground auction for the first time, and was hunted down by the Zifu Stage cultivators.

So he is very clear about the deep meaning contained in Jin Qu's words.

But the rewards of participating in underground auctions are often directly proportional to the risks.

Many treasures with unclear origins are afraid to put them in formal auctions and exchange meetings, so the only convenient place to sell them is underground auctions, and the prices are often much lower than similar prices in regular auctions. few.

Although Zhou Yang does not cause trouble, he has never been a person who is afraid of trouble.

Even though there are risks involved in participating in an underground auction, he believes that with his own means, he can completely handle those possible risks.

Hearing what he said, Jin Qu didn't say anything more, just nodded slightly, took out the token and handed it to him and said, "Since Daoist Zhou insists on going to participate, you can go out of the city with this talisman in three days and find a secluded place Activate it, and someone will rush over to pick you up to the location of the underground auction."

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Jin, how much is this token worth? Zhou will give you the spirit stone now."

Zhou Yang took the token, glanced at it for a while, then put it into the storage ring, and then asked about the price of the token.

The same thing about underground auctions and regular auctions is that participants will also be charged entry fees, and the fees are often higher than regular auctions. Of course, Zhou Yang can't ask Jin Qu to help him pay for this fee.

However, Jin Qu shook his head and said: "This is just a keepsake. The entrance fee will not be collected until you arrive at the venue, Fellow Daoist Zhou."

"Understood, that Zhou will go to prepare first."

Zhou Yang nodded knowingly, took his leave and left Qingyun Pavilion.

Three days later, Zhou Yang, who was well prepared, left Haoyang Immortal City directly, and then in a mountain forest more than 300 miles away from the city, he activated the talisman in his hand.

After the magic talisman was activated, it turned into a phantom of a khaki mouse-like monster and burrowed into the ground.

Seeing this, Zhou Yang's eyes flashed, and then with a wave of his hand, he took out the dragon face mask that he refined during the foundation building period, put it on, and took out a gray cloak that also has the function of shielding the consciousness It was put on the outside of the body, and a layer of spiritual barrier was formed with its own spiritual consciousness outside the body.

With such a triple protection, even if a late Jindan cultivator wants to scan him with his consciousness in person without disturbing him, he will definitely be discovered.

After waiting like this for about an hour, a yellow light flashed on the ground not far in front of Zhou Yang, and suddenly there was a huge "earth-running beast".

The "Hunting Earth Pangolin" looks like a pangolin that has been magnified many times. The "Hunting Earth Pangolin" in front of Zhou Yang is as high as the fourth-rank top grade, with a body length of more than twenty feet and a back width of more than one foot.

A long stone house was artificially placed on the back of this "earth-running beast". The material of the stone house was the third-order spiritual object "Forbidden God Stone" that Zhou Yang was familiar with.

"Pay thirty middle-grade spirit stones and I will send you to your destination!"

When Zhou looked solemnly at the "Earth-Crafting Beast" in front of him, a cold voice suddenly sounded from the stone house on the beast's back.

The entrance fee of 30 middle-grade spirit stones is really black enough.

But Zhou Yang didn't say much, waved his hand silently, took out thirty middle-grade spirit stones and threw them at the stone house on the beast's back.

With a sound of "click", the stone door of the stone house opened from the inside, swallowing all the spirit stones thrown by Zhou Yang.

Seeing this, Zhou Yang didn't wait for the people inside to say anything, he just moved his body, jumped onto the back of the "Earth-Crafting Beast", and slipped into the stone house.

This action of his caused the "Earth Retreating Mountain Beast" to be extremely dissatisfied, and it couldn't help shaking its body and let out a roar.

But following the cold shout from the owner of the cold voice in the stone house, this petty beast obediently stopped, let out a roar full of grievances, and ducked into the ground with his whole body glowing yellow and his head bowed.

At the same time, in the stone house on the back of the "Hunting Mountain Churning Beast", a monk who was covered from head to toe by a mask and a black cloak and robe was staring coldly at Zhou Yang with a distance of several feet.

Apart from the two of them, there was no one else in the entire carriage.

"Your Excellency is so rude now, I can still tolerate it, but if you are still like this after arriving at the auction venue, the seniors there will not be as easy-talking as I am!"

The monk in the black cloak stared at Zhou Yang coldly, then warned him in a cold voice, then withdrew his gaze and sat on a wooden chair next to him.

Seeing this, Zhou Yang's eyes flashed brightly, but he replied indifferently: "I don't need to bother you about this matter."

This voice was actually a neutral voice, making it hard to tell whether it was a man or a woman.

Hiding one's face, changing one's body shape, and changing one's voice, these are the things that most immortal cultivators will do when they participate in activities such as underground auctions.

Now that Zhou Yang has been disguised, even if his Taoist partner Xiao Ying is here, he may not be able to recognize him if he doesn't use his magic power to leak his breath.

And his seemingly arrogant move just now was also done on purpose.

Judging from the reaction of the black robe leading the monk, his painstaking efforts were obviously not in vain.

In the next few hours, eight monks entered the stone house on the back of the "Desperate Earth-Crushing Beast", almost filling up the small stone house.

It wasn't until this time that the black-robed guiding monk stopped guiding other people, and drove the "Earth-Hunting Chuanshan Beast" to the auction site.

Because he has been living in a stone house isolated from his consciousness, Zhou Yang doesn't know where he has passed along the way, and it is even difficult for him to know how fast the "Hunting Earth Churning Beast" is moving underground.

When the "Hunting Mountain Churning Beast" stopped again, the stone door of the stone house opened, and when he walked out of the stone house, the place before Zhou Yang's eyes had suddenly turned into a quiet valley with birds singing and flowers fragrant.

He glanced over, and found that the valley was not big, estimated to be only a few hundred acres in size, and the aura in the valley was not too strong, comparable to a third-order middle-grade spirit vein.

The outside of the valley was completely covered by formations of clouds and mists. The clouds and mists were formed by an unknown level of formations. It was difficult for Zhou Yang to move the "Lihuo Golden Pupil" secretly to see through the clouds and mists. Moreover, the clouds and mists also blocked the scanning of the spiritual consciousness. If you go out of the valley, you will hit a wall and cannot enter an inch.

It was unexpected that the underground auction would not be held deep underground, but held in such a valley.

Before Zhou Yang and his group arrived, twenty or thirty high-ranking monks had already gathered in the valley, and it was unknown how many of them were Jindan stage monks.

These high-ranking monks were sitting quietly around a circular stone platform in the middle of the valley at this time, without saying a word, the whole valley was eerily quiet.

But when Zhou Yang and several fellow monks were looking at the situation in the valley, the black-robed monk who was envoying the "Hunting Earth-Crossing Beast" said coldly: "Find a place to sit first, and when the time comes Afterwards, someone will naturally come out and explain the situation.”

After saying this, he closed the stone gate, and re-driving the spirit beast to fetch other people.
