Cultivation Begins From The Desert

The deputy city lord of Cangyuan Immortal City is named Geng Zhong, who has cultivated at the second level of Jindan and has practiced it for more than 600 years.

Geng Zhong has been with Cangyuan Sanren since the Zifu period, because he made great contributions to the establishment of Cangyuan Immortal City, Cangyuan Sanren specially accepted him as a registered disciple, and helped him a lot when he formed alchemy.

Over the years, Geng Zhong has also been loyally helping Cangyuan Sanren to manage various internal affairs of Cangyuan Immortal City, because of this, even his practice has fallen behind a lot.

In Geng Zhong's heart, he has long regarded Cangyuan Immortal City as his own possession, and he can justifiably take over this Immortal City once Cangyuan Sanren sits down.

At that time, with the entire Immortal City as its background, coupled with his painstaking efforts over the years, the Geng family he built by himself has the opportunity to become the kind of Jindan family that has been passed down for thousands of years.

After Cangyuan Sanren returned from being injured on the battlefield, Geng Zhong was the first one to visit and deliver medicine.

In doing this, besides expressing his loyalty, his main purpose was of course to observe the real injuries of Cangyuan Sanren, so as to judge how long he would have to wait before taking over Cangyuan Immortal City.

The results of the visit at that time made him very happy, because according to his judgment, even if Cangyuan Sanren's injuries can be recovered, it will definitely affect the remaining Shouyuan, causing him to sit down some time earlier.

And when he let people spread the news secretly, the number of monks in Cangyuan Immortal City who secretly turned to him for loyalty increased a lot at once, and some people who were indifferent to his various hints of soliciting in the past were also shaken because of this. No longer repelling his draw.

Therefore, before Zhou Yang's arrival, for Geng Zhong, the situation in Cangyuan Immortal City was looking good.

But now, with Zhou Yang's arrival, and with the news of Li Mubai and Zhou Guangxiang's engagement spreading throughout the city, the good situation has deteriorated to the extreme in an instant.

In just one day, Geng Zhong received all kinds of bad news, the amount exceeded the total amount of bad news received in the past 100 years!

Those monks who took refuge in him at that time were so quick to betray him now.

Even some monks who were originally loyal to him were panicked at this moment, not knowing what to do.

It is true that Cangyuan Immortal City is a city of casual cultivators, but there are not only casual cultivators here. After hundreds of years of development, several Zifu families and dozens of Foundation Establishment families have appeared in the entire fairy city.

These cultivating families are the foundation for Cangyuan Sanren and Geng Zhong to rule the fairy city. It is also because of these cultivating families to help build and undertake various functions that the fairy city can maintain normal operation.

So even if Geng Zhong, a meritorious figure who participated in the establishment of Cangyuan Immortal City, wants to inherit this immortal city in the future, he still needs to win over these immortal cultivating families and gain their support.

Before Zhou Yang's arrival, Geng Zhong had already won the support of more than half of these people, which can be said to be a general trend.

But now, there are less than 20% of the monks who can still be called to discuss matters with him!

"Damn it!"

"I didn't expect that the person who ruined my event in the end would be Li Mubai, a bastard!"

"If I had known that Zhou Guangxiang had such a background, how could I have let him embrace Li Mubai as a beauty? In terms of cultivation, appearance and ability, my Ming'er is not ten times stronger than him!"

Geng Zhong hates it, he really wants to tear Li Mubai's body to pieces.

What he had planned for hundreds of years was ruined by a junior whom he had always looked down upon. If Cangyuan Sanren was not still alive, he would have thought of rushing to Li's house to kill Li Mubai.

"It's not over!"

"I have been waiting for hundreds of years, how can I give up because of you juniors?"

"Isn't it the registered disciple of the Nascent Soul cultivator? It's not like I, Geng Zhong, have no backing!"

With a cold light in his eyes, Geng Zhongqiang suppressed the anger in his heart, his face returned to calm, and he began to appease the helpless supporters.

Zhou Yang did not expect that he, who had not yet formed a pill, would have such a great influence.

Of course, he would not have been unaware of the turmoil in Cangyuan Immortal City. Even on the day the news of the engagement spread, many families in the Immortal City sent people to visit him with gifts.

Except for one family that is completely loyal to Geng Zhong, several Zifu families also sent invitations to him, inviting him to come and preach for the younger generations of the family.

This change made him quite dumbfounded.

He was the first to come to Cangyuan Immortal City to avoid these entertainments, but he didn't expect to go back after going around for a while.

Fortunately, he is not as good as before, these families in Cangyuan Immortal City are not those big families and powerful forces that he needs to avoid after meeting.

Therefore, for those gifts that came to the door, he accepted them all according to the order, and asked Qin Yue'er to open a gift list to make records.

He also figured it out now, since Qin Yue'er couldn't kill her or drive her away, he might as well use her as a maid.

It's better to put her under his nose and monitor her every move than to let her do some conspiracy behind his back.

As for those invitations, he declined all of them because he wanted to retreat and comprehend the Jindan Dao.

In fact, this is not a complete excuse, because he really intends to retreat for a period of time to refine the "Three-turn Pure Yuan Pill" in his hand, so as to purify his mana.

As a fifth-order panacea that even monks in the Nascent Soul stage need to owe favors to obtain, the role of the "Three-turn Pure Yuan Pill" is absolutely not exaggerated.

After Zhou Yang's cultivation base reached the ninth floor of the Purple Mansion, his cultivation base could not be improved any more, but after he took the "Three-turn Pure Yuan Pill", his mana was condensed and purified by nearly 20%!

According to what Han Xiao, the head of the Qingyuan Sword Sect, said at the beginning, after taking the "Three-turn Pure Yuan Pill", the general ninth-level monks in the Zifu can purify 20% to 30% of their mana.

The reason why Zhou Yang only purified less than 20% was not because there was something wrong with the panacea he took, but because his mana itself was more pure than ordinary monks of the same rank after being tempered by "Qianyang Xianguang". The benefit obtained after taking the panacea now is naturally smaller.

Even so, he couldn't be more satisfied with the effect of the "Three-turn Pure Yuan Pill".

Now in terms of the purity of mana alone, I am afraid that there is no monk who can compare with him in the Zifu period, not even the monk who also took the "Three-turn Pure Yuan Pill".

And the purer the mana, the easier it will be in the first step of "condensing the pill".

This is also the reason why Zhao Hao said that the "Three-turn Pure Yuan Pill" is a treasure that can increase the success rate of forming a pill.

Originally, after the mana was purified, Zhou Yang could take advantage of the situation and try to form the alchemy again. Unfortunately, it was less than three years since he tried the last time to form the alchemy. For the time being, I can only suppress this thought and focus on other things.

He first took out the fifth-order low-grade magic weapon "Binghuo Thunder Bottle" that he had obtained together with the "Three-turn Pure Yuan Pill".

After this magic weapon is refined, it can release a kind of fire-type divine thunder "Binghuo Shenlei" to attack. Its power is much stronger than ordinary fourth-level high-grade lightning spells, but it is not the same as the real fifth-level lightning spells. Compared with magic, it is far inferior.

In fact, this magic weapon is a bit tasteless to the monks of the golden core stage, because its attack power is not much threat at all in the fighting skills of the golden core stage monks.

And because it takes a lot of mana to activate this magic weapon to release the "Bing Vulcan Thunder", if the monks of the Zifu period sacrifice this magic weapon, it won't take many times for the "Bing Vulcan Thunder" to be drained. Mana, so its effect on the monks of the Zifu period is not particularly obvious.

It was precisely because monks in the upper and lower realms didn't use it very much that it was rewarded to Zhou Yang as a bonus.

Zhou Yang, as a fourth-rank high-grade craftsman, of course understands the problem with the "Binghuo Thunder Bottle" magic weapon, but because he is quite interested in various thunder magic powers, he doesn't mind spending some time Refining this magic weapon.

Speaking of which, although the battle on the death battle battlefield was dangerous, Zhou Yang also obtained a lot of treasures.

Especially in the last battle, he suddenly violently beheaded his opponent, causing two fifth-order magic talismans and a talisman treasure on the opponent's body, as well as a treasure that sealed the supernatural powers of Jindan stage monks, all fell into his hands. It became a powerful hole card in his hand.

With these treasures in his hands, and the fifth-tier middle-grade defensive magic weapon "Black Tortoise Shield" that he has already refined, even if he encounters the attack of that early-stage Jindan cultivator, he can calmly cast "Blood Shield" after a few moves. "Escape" to escape.

That is to say, even if he doesn't rely on Xu Song's external force, if he meets an early Jindan cultivator, as long as the opponent is not the kind of fierce person who has refined a fifth-order high-grade magic weapon or cultivated some kind of powerful supernatural power, he can easily save his life retreated.

Time flies, and it is seven years in a blink of an eye.

In seven years, Zhou Yang successively refined three fifth-level magical artifacts, "Binghuo Thunder Bottle", "Thunderbolt Golden Light Shenshuo", and Spirit Beast Ring, and practiced the talisman-making technique to the fourth-level middle-level.

And seven years later, Cangyuan Sanren's injuries suffered in the death battle field have finally eased a lot, and he has already left the customs to show up to deal with affairs.

The wedding of Zhou Guangxiang and Li Mubai had been postponed for seven years, and because of Cangyuan Sanren's departure, they officially started planning to hold it.

Before the wedding, Zhou Yang went to Cangyuan Sanren's cave to visit him.

On the battlefield of the death fight, Cangyuan Sanren also witnessed him beheading three opponents in a row, and he also witnessed Cangyuan Sanren survive the opponent's Jindan self-destruct.

The first official meeting between the two, recalling this incident with each other, can't help but look at each other with a smile, and they both have a sense of sympathy.

"Hahaha, when the old man saw Zhou Xiaoyou's heroic appearance winning three games in a row, he told the comrades beside him that one day he must invite Zhou Xiaoyou to drink and get to know each other. I didn't expect this day to come so soon, and You and I are actually married!"

In the cave mansion, after meeting Zhou Yang for the first time, Cangyuan Sanren burst into a hearty laugh. He took the initiative to laugh loudly and stepped forward, grabbed Zhou Yang's arm and sat down beside the tea table. He took out a jar of treasured spirit wine and slapped the Kaifeng mud and poured Zhou Yang a bowl of spirit wine.

Then he picked up the spirit wine and handed it to Zhou Yang with a big smile: "Come on, little friend Zhou, let's drink this cup to the brim, and make a bowl for the wonderful fate between you and me!"

Zhou Yang didn't expect that Cangyuan Sanren, who was over 800 years old, would still have such a passion and boldness.

Therefore, after he was stunned for a moment, his blood was aroused, and he didn't care about the etiquette, so he took the wine bowl and said in a loud voice: "Okay, this junior will respect Senior Li with a bowl first, for senior Cheers to your safe exit!"

After speaking, he picked up the wine bowl and drank it down in one gulp, feeling bored.

Seeing this, Cangyuan Sanren immediately smiled more happily, and then poured himself a bowl of wine, and gulped down.

In fact, it is a very risky thing for two strange monks to drink the spirit wine or spirit tea given by each other as soon as they meet, because no one knows whether the other party will be in the spirit wine or spirit tea. What poison.

It should be known that there are many strange poisons in the world of cultivating immortals that even Jindan stage monks cannot detect or be immune to. Once poisoned, their strength will be greatly reduced if they are not dead, and then they will be left as mermaids.

But Zhou Yang dared to drink Cangyuan Sanren's spiritual wine because he knew that if the other party really wanted to deal with him, there was no need to poison him.

Moreover, he is still a registered disciple of Guo Jinhong, a monk in the Nascent Soul stage. Unless Cangyuan Sanren is crazy, it is impossible for him to attack him without any vengeance.

But no matter what, Zhou Yang's unhesitating attitude still made Cangyuan Sanren feel very comfortable, because it fully represented Zhou Yang's trust in him, so he laughed more happily.

Just like that, the two of them drank wine and chatted about various topics, and they got along very harmoniously.

In the end, the two chatted, and they still talked about Zhou Guangxiang and Li Mubai, two juniors.

After Cangyuan Sanren poured down a large bowl of spirit wine in one gulp, he didn't know what he thought of, and suddenly said with emotion on his face:

"Speaking of which, when that kid Mu Bai chased after your niece, Zhou Xiaoyou, the old man didn't approve of it, because the old man originally wanted him to marry a daughter from the Geng family, so that the old man would die in the future. In terms of love with the younger generation of my family, I shouldn't be too unreasonable to the Li family!"

"However, this old man also appreciates Zhou Xiaoyou's words very much. Of course, the younger generation's affairs should be based on their own preferences first!"

"The original intention of our immortal cultivators is to pursue longevity and happiness. If we go against this original intention, what's the point of living? It's just a flesh and blood puppet without self-awareness!"

Hearing what he said, Zhou Yang guessed that he should be talking about the fact that he could not help but replace others in the death battle battlefield in order to repay his kindness.

This matter involved another Nascent Soul cultivator, even though he had always been bold, he did not dare to express any opinions rashly.

However, he thought of another matter, and immediately raised his hand, took out a jade box and handed it over, "I heard that you, Senior Li, are seriously injured. This junior has a fifth-order low-grade elixir [back] Tianxuanming Dan], maybe it can help the senior's injury, this thing is the dowry prepared by the junior for Guangxiang, I hope the senior will not refuse!"

This "Heaven Renewing Life Pill" was obtained when he killed Zhong Chuming, a monk at the Golden Core stage of the Beast Controlling Sect, even when he was severely injured by the fifth-level monster "Heart Devouring Demon Wolf", he did not give up. Use this elixir for healing.

At this time, he took out this treasure as Zhou Guangxiang's dowry and gave it to Cangyuan Sanren to heal his wounds, which shows his love for Zhou Guangxiang.

Ordinary parents even know that the richer the dowry they give, the more attention their daughter will receive in the son-in-law's family in the future.

As Zhou Guangxiang's elder, Zhou Yang was worried about his niece's life in her in-law's house at this time.

When Cangyuan Sanren heard his words at this time, he was slightly taken aback for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing:

"Xiaoyou Zhou is really big!"

"Your dowry is so rich, if the old man doesn't give my family Mu Bai a decent gift, wouldn't people laugh at my Li family as being stingy?"

After laughing, he also waved his hand and took out a treasure.
