Cultivation Begins From The Desert

Master Qingyang knew about Zhou Yang's chance encounter with "Master Xuanji" Lu Xuanji in the Kunxu Realm.

When he heard this from Lu Xuanji, he was also inexplicably astonished, and then, like Lu Xuanji, he attributed it to a kind of fate destined by heaven.

At this moment, Master Qingyang hesitated when he heard Zhou Yang ask for his help.

It stands to reason that since Zhou Yang came here in fulfillment of the contract, there is no need for him to delay and conceal it because of his feelings and reason.

But that matter is really of great importance, if the news leaks out in advance, it will cause irreparable damage to their sect's plan for many years.

So he finally shook his head and said: "Forgive me, my little friend. It's not that the old Taoists can't trust you, but this matter is of great importance. Before the final implementation, the less people know about it, the safer it will be."

When Zhou Yang heard this, it was a lie in his heart to say that he was not disappointed.

He knew that what Master Qingyang and Lu Xuanji wanted to help him with would not be easy, and it would be very dangerous.

If he can know what is going on in advance, he can make some relevant preparations in advance.

You must know that when he came out this time, he not only took hundreds of thousands of low-grade spirit stones stored in the treasure house of the Zhou family, but also brought many unused spoils with him, and planned to sell them in Xianyang City to buy them that were useful to him. thing.

He whispered with disappointment on his face: "Senior understands the difficulties of the senior, but can the senior give the junior some advice on what preparations should be made in advance?"

When Master Qingyang heard his words, his complexion relaxed, he waved his hands with a smile and said: "This is not necessary, our Xuanyang Xianzong has already prepared the relevant preparations and things that will be used, and when the time comes, my friend As long as people arrive, it’s fine.”

What he said, not only did not comfort Zhou Yang, but made Zhou Yang feel much heavier.

Even though Master Qingyang and Lu Xuanji treated him well, Zhou Yang knew that the premise of all this was that he had something that the other party could use.

Normally speaking, if you just want to use his hands to accomplish something, you can just lure him with a profit.

For example, the spiritual objects such as "Jade Liquid Golden Elixir" and "Purple Heart Chalcedony" he needs, and some spiritual objects that are of great help to his cultivation.

But Master Qingyang and Lu Xuanji both chose a seemingly more difficult path, and kept giving him favors.

There are people in this world who do not reciprocate their kindness, but these two are certainly not among them.

So for Zhou Yang, the more the two of them did this, the more frightened and worried he felt.

He couldn't help but think of a word - dead man

In his previous life, the most famous person among the dead was none other than Jing Ke.

Jing Ke's assassination of the King of Qin is a matter that all scholars in his previous life are familiar with.

And the reason why Jing Ke took great risks to accept Prince Pill's entrustment to assassinate the King of Qin was because he was soft-spoken and short-handed. He had received too much favor from Prince Pill and could not repay it, so he could only choose to repay it with his own life. .

Zhou Yang has repeatedly received kindness from Master Qingyang and Lu Xuanji, but up to now he has not repaid at all.

And with his strength, with the status of Daoist Qingyang and Lu Xuanji, even if he wanted to take the initiative to repay something, he would never be able to repay.

He is a man of integrity, a man of love and righteousness.

It meant he couldn't do that kind of ungrateful thing.

So now in this situation, even if Master Qingyang and Lu Xuanji, two people who have been kind to him, let him do Jingke's assassination of the King of Qin, Zhou Yang asked himself, can he refuse?

The answer is no!

Not to mention the sadness in his conscience, even Lu Xuanji and Master Qingyang, the two Nascent Soul stage monks, would not spare his life after he committed ungrateful things.

He couldn't even run away, because he could run away from a monk but not a temple.

Master Qingyang knew his origins, and Lu Xuanji was a ninth-level "half-step true immortal" in the Nascent Soul Stage. If these two really wanted to deal with him, it might not be useful for him to escape to other immortal realms.

The look of fear and worry on Zhou Yang's face was not hidden. Master Qingyang saw it, but he could only pretend that he didn't see it.

In fact, what they asked Zhou Yang to do for him was indeed a near-death experience for Zhou Yang, a mere Golden Core Stage cultivator.

This point means that no matter how much he comforts Zhou Yang now, when Zhou Yang knows the truth of the matter, what he should worry about is still worrying.

However, he is a kind elder after all. Seeing Zhou Yang's appearance, he sighed in his heart, and couldn't help saying: "Although you don't need to prepare anything, if you want help from an old man with anything, you can tell me clearly." .”

Hearing what he said, Zhou Yang felt a little better at last.

"Senior, the junior knows that he has already received a lot of favors from the senior, so he shouldn't ask for anything."

"But this junior came to Liuyunzhou to cultivate immortals, not only by himself, but also with a couple of juniors, and a disciple of this junior is about to open up the Purple Mansion, so this junior dares to ask the senior to help him obtain a To buy a quota, buy a [Purple Heart Chalcedony] from your faction to help."

Zhou Yang opened and closed his mouth, and immediately said his request.

Since Master Qingyang still refuses to say what he is asking for his help, now is not the time for him to ask for a "Jade Liquid Golden Pill" for Taoist companion Xiao Ying.

He planned to wait for Master Qingyang to confess everything to himself before mentioning this matter.

In this way, if he is really unfortunate enough to fall, even if it is used as his pension, Master Qingyang will not be stingy with a share of "Jade Liquid Golden Pill".

"This matter is simple. You go to the Xuanyang Pavilion with the handwriting of the old man, and they will naturally give you the things, and the old man also explained to them inside, asking them to arrange a good cave for you to live in temporarily."

Master Qingyang said, and with a wave of his hand, he handed a jade slip with his words recorded to Zhou Yang.

After Zhou Yang put away the jade slips, he said again: "The Great Elder is not in the sect now, you'd better not leave Xianyang City for the next few years, when the Great Elder returns, that matter is about to start .”

"The junior understands, senior please rest assured, the junior will wait for the senior to call in Xianyang City."

Zhou Yang bowed his hands and agreed on the spot.

Originally, at this time, he should have said goodbye and left, even Master Qingyang thought so.

But he didn't move. Instead, he stood there with hesitation, as if there was something difficult to make a decision.

This aroused the curiosity of Master Qingyang.

"What's the matter? Judging by your appearance, it seems that there is something difficult to decide?"

He looked at Zhou Yang with a surprised expression and asked out his doubts.

"Senior Mingjian, this junior came to visit senior this time, in addition to fulfilling the original agreement, there is also an important matter that I want to tell Senior Xuanji."

"It's just that senior has already said that Daoist Xuanji is not in the noble family, and this matter is really important, so it's not easy to delay. I don't know if I should inform senior first!"

Zhou Yang looked at Master Qingyang hesitantly, and the words in his mouth made him more curious.

He immediately said with a flick of his sleeves: "If you have something to do, it's okay to say it. Even if the old man can't solve it, he will tell Senior Brother Lu for you, so there won't be any delay."

"Since the senior said so, the junior has nothing to worry about."

Zhou Yang nodded with a sigh of relief, and then told about the space crack he found in the "Death Sand Sea".

After he finished speaking, he broke his hand and took out the remains of the demonized "sandworm" and the demon pill that he had killed at the beginning.

"Senior, please look, this is the remains of the [Sandworm] monster that was eroded and mutated by the devilish energy."

"If the younger generation hadn't sacrificed the [Xuanyang Zixiao Shenlei] jade talisman bestowed by Xuanji Daoist senior, I am afraid that the younger generation would have fallen!"

Master Qingyang didn't speak, he was already stunned by the shocking news from Zhou Yang's mouth.

Zhou Yang may not know what the big event they are about to do is, but he knows it very well.

But now, they haven't done that, but there is a space crack connecting with the demon world in a place like the boundless sand sea, which made him feel heavy.

As for whether what Zhou Yang said is true or false, there is no need to question it at all. The corpse of the demonized "sandworm" on the ground is the best proof.

Master Qingyang has also been to the world of cultivating immortals in the boundless sand sea, and he has naturally heard about the unique fifth-order monster "sandworm" in the boundless sand sea.

What's more, there is no benefit for Zhou Yang to deceive him in this matter.

"Are you sure that there is only demon energy coming out of that crack in space, and no monsters from the demon world come across?"

He stared at Zhou Yang and asked, his eyes full of nervousness.

A space crack, and a space passage that allows demon creatures to pass through to the "spirit world", those are completely two concepts.

In the case of the former, although there is a risk of letting demon creatures come to the "soul world", it is basically impossible to reach the "spiritual world" through the cracks in space.

Monsters that can easily do this, because their own cultivation level is too high, it is difficult to come to a world with a lower world limit like "Spirit World".

However, monsters with low cultivation levels do not have the ability to survive inside the cracks in space.

But if it is a space passage that allows creatures from the demon world to easily pass through to the "spirit world", then the harm will be great!

If one is not good, the entire "Spirit World" may be captured by countless monsters from the Demon World!

For such a big event, even a Nascent Soul cultivator like Daoist Qingyang couldn't help but get nervous and lose face.

"This junior doesn't dare to guarantee it. I can only say that when the junior saw the crack in the space, he didn't find any monsters coming, and there were no particularly powerful monsters guarding the surrounding area."

Zhou Yang shook his head, but he didn't say anything dead.

In fact, he knew in his heart that it was just a crack in space, otherwise he would not have returned to the world of cultivating immortals in the boundless sand sea alive.

But he is more aware that every word he says now will be held accountable for anything that happens in the future, so naturally he dare not say enough, and has to leave a way out for himself.

"Hey! You should have come over earlier and told us the news, just in case..."

Master Qingyang let out a long sigh, and was actually quite angry that Zhou Yang had delayed coming to tell him this matter for several years.

This was Zhou Yang. If a disciple of Xuanyang Xianzong dared to delay reporting such a major event, he would probably have thrown him into the "Demon Sealing Cave" on the spot.

However, Zhou Yang was not a disciple of their Xuanyang Immortal Sect, and they still had to rely on Zhou Yang's help for that important matter. Even if they were angry at this time, it was not easy to vent their anger on Zhou Yang.

In the end, he could only shake his head and said: "Forget it, the old man knows about this matter, and the old man will immediately inform Brother Lu of the news, so don't worry about it, just wait for our call with peace of mind!"

As the saying goes, if the sky falls, there will be a tall man holding it up.

And Xuanyang Xianzong is undoubtedly tall in the world of cultivating immortals.

Even if the cracks in the space connected to the demon world are not on their territory, they must have the responsibility to deal with them.

And for Master Qingyang who knows the inside story, anything related to the devil world at this time is a sensitive matter.

In case when they were carrying out that matter, a strong man from the demon world came to the "Spirit World", the consequences would be unimaginable.

Therefore, after Zhou Yang obeyed his orders and left, he immediately notified Lu Xuanji, the great elder of the Xuanyang Immortal Sect who was in the outside world, with a secret method, and informed him of Zhou Yang's report.

"Your brother's news has been received. Brothers will go to the scene to check the situation in person. You must keep an eye on that kid, don't ruin the big thing!"

In Qingyang Cave, Master Qingyang looked at the words that appeared on the bronze mirror in his hand, and couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.

Since Lu Xuanji is willing to personally go to the Boundless Sand Sea to check the situation of the space crack, there is no problem with this matter for the time being, and then he just needs to wait for Lu Xuanji to finish the preparations, and then he can take Zhou Yang away. .

On the other hand, after Zhou Yang returned to Xianyang City from Xuanyang Immortal Sect, he went to Xuanyang Pavilion immediately, found the big shopkeeper of Xuanyang Pavilion and showed Qingyang real person's handwriting, and then paid 150,000 low-grade spirit stones , got a copy of "Purple Heart Chalcedony", and also got a fifth-level cave with a quiet environment in the city for free as a residence.

After he got the things, he let his apprentice Lu Xuewei enter his cave to retreat.

But he himself wandered around the various shops in Xianyang City, selling all kinds of treasures in his hands.

He has a lot of unusable fifth-order magic weapons in his hand, he doesn't like these things, and no one in the Zhou family can sacrifice and use these magic weapons except him, so it's better to sell them and exchange them for spirit stones.

Of course, even if he despises some truly precious instruments, he will not exchange them for spirit stones, and will only keep them in his hands for later use.

Even so, after he sold the magic tools and some sundries in his hands, the number of spirit stones he possessed exceeded three million spirit stones, not counting the high-grade spirit stones he owned!

With millions of spirit stones in hand, Zhou Yang certainly wouldn't let them lie in his storage ring and eat ashes.

Although Master Qingyang said that everything is ready and there is no need for him to make more preparations, how could he not make any preparations at all.

With a total of 1.5 million low-grade spirit stones, Zhou Yang bought the treasure of his town store "Yuqing Xianlu" from the "Yuqing Immortal Pavilion" opened by Yuqing Daozong in Xianyang City.

"Yuqing Xianlu" is a secret spiritual talisman unique to Yuqing Daozong, which can only be made by monks in the Yuanying period of Yuqing Daozong.

After each monk of the Yuqing Dao Sect is promoted to the Jindan stage, he will be given a "Yuqing Xianlu" by the monks of the Yuanying stage of the sect as a life-saving thing.

But the function of this "Yuqing Immortal Book" is the same as the life-saving "Yimu Surviving Card" that Zhou Yang obtained in the Kunxu Realm back then, it can defuse a fatal attack at a critical moment.

1.5 million low-grade spirit stones to buy a chance to survive is naturally worthwhile in Zhou Yang's eyes.

If the spirit stone is gone, you can make more money, but if your life is gone, then everything will really end!

If it wasn't for the "Yuqing Immortal Pavilion" in Xianyang City that only this "Yuqing Immortal Book" was sold as the treasure of the town store, he would definitely not be stingy with the 1.5 million low-grade spirit stones left on his body, and buy it again. one sheet.

Master Qingyang is clearly aware of Zhou Yang's actions in Xianyang City, but as long as Zhou Yang doesn't leave Xianyang City, he will naturally act as if he doesn't know anything and won't interfere.

From the point of view of their hearts, they didn't want Zhou Yang to die, but that incident was indeed extremely dangerous. Once something went wrong, a Jindan stage monk like Zhou Yang would almost certainly die.

And Zhou Yang knew it well, and he didn't have the idea of ​​leaving Xianyang City for half a step.

After purchasing the "Yuqing Xianlu", he and his Taoist companion Xiao Ying started touring the mountains and rivers in Xianyang City.

As for Zhou Tongxuan and the others who were brought to Xianyang City by him, they were still in the cave, reading through various information about the world of cultivating immortals in Liuyunzhou, preparing for their future visits to the world of cultivating immortals.

Half a year later, Lu Xuewei, who was in seclusion, left the seclusion, successfully opened the Zifu and was promoted to a Zifu period monk.

It is a great joy for Lu Xuewei to successfully open up the Purple Mansion.

Although he was unable to hold the Zifu celebration because he was in the world of cultivating immortals in Liuyunzhou, Zhou Yang took him to the most luxurious restaurant in Xianyang City to have a big meal to congratulate him.

And as a reward for this apprentice's success in opening up the Purple Mansion, Zhou Yang gave her all the "ice crystal snow lotus" lotus seeds he had obtained in the Kunxu Realm. After she stabilized her cultivation, she could refine these lotus seeds to rapidly improve her cultivation for.

According to Zhou Yang's estimate, if all the eighteen lotus seeds are refined, it will not be a problem for Lu Xuewei to reach the third floor of the Zifu within ten years.

It will fully make up for the decades of delay in the foundation building period.

In addition to the "ice crystal snow lotus" lotus seeds, Zhou Yang also gave Lu Xuewei the fourth-order ice-attribute magical artifacts and a large number of ice-type spiritual objects obtained by killing the monk Beigong Baifeng of the Snow Toad Palace, and let him dispose of it by himself.

Only the drop of "Cold Jade Essence" was left by him in the family secret vault on Lingxi Peak.

He had explained to Zhou Guangxiang that if he hadn't gone back, Lu Xuewei would not be able to take out the things and hand them over to her until Lu Xuewei reached the ninth floor of the Purple Mansion.

As for the real purpose of his trip to the world of cultivating immortals in Liuyunzhou, only Zhou Guangxiang knows, not even his Taoist companion Xiao Ying.

Xiao Ying and Lu Xuewei always thought that he brought them to Liuyun Continent to cultivate immortals to help them obtain treasures to break through the realm.

And he didn't intend to reveal the real situation to the second daughter before the matter was over.

He had already made plans. If he returned safely, he could pretend that nothing had happened.

If he unfortunately falls, the Master Qingyang entrusted by him will naturally hand over his relics and suicide note to Xiao Ying and tell him the truth.

In short, based on what he knew about Xiao Ying, if he told her about this in advance, there would definitely be an uproar.

And he has fallen too deep, it is impossible to get out easily!

Time flies, and soon the ten-year agreement Zhou Yang made with Lu Xuanji will arrive.

On this day, after receiving the summons from Master Qingyang, his complexion changed for a while, and finally he let out a long sigh, and called Taoist couple Xiao Ying and apprentice Lu Xuewei into the quiet room.

"Ying'er, Xuewei, I just received a message from Master Qingyang that there are monsters in the [Magic Sealing Cave] in the Xuanyang Immortal Sect, and I need my help to suppress them for a while."

"You also know that Senior Qingyang has been kind to me, so I have to help with this favor!"

In the quiet room, Zhou Yang looked at the Taoist companion and apprentice who were suddenly called here by him, and looked at them with a serious face and explained the reason.

He made up this excuse a long time ago, and when he said it at this time, it really didn't make Xiao Ying suspicious.

She looked at Zhou Yang with beautiful eyes, with a flash of worry in her eyes, but she quickly hid it, and said softly: "Since Senior Qingyang sent the message in person, the matter will not be small, husband, even if you grasp it You must also be careful to restrain the supernatural powers of monsters, and everything is to protect yourself."

Hearing this, Zhou Yang immediately said confidently: "Don't worry, even if there are some powerful monsters hidden in the [Sealing Demon Cave], they will definitely not reach the Nascent Soul stage. Even if you really lose to the opponent, you will definitely lose your life with the means of your husband. dangerous."

After speaking, he turned his eyes to the silent apprentice Lu Xuewei and confessed: "During the time when the teacher is away, Xuewei, please accompany your teacher's wife well, and when there is news about the teacher, it's not too late for you to go out and visit the world of cultivating immortals! "

"The apprentice obeys the order, and will definitely accompany the teacher's wife well, the master can rest assured."

Lu Xuewei nodded, and agreed immediately.

Seeing this, Zhou Yang turned his eyes back to Xiao Ying and confessed: "And you, Ying'er, if you are extremely bored these days, you can also delve into the alchemy experience left by your husband. Husband is going to help Senior Qingyang, and he will also mention [Jade Liquid Golden Pill] to his old man, presumably his old man should be willing to help with this."

Xiao Ying heard this, but looked at him with worry in her eyes and said: "As long as your husband can return safely, it doesn't matter if you are a concubine who forms alchemy later."

As the saying goes, husband and wife are connected, although Zhou Yang's excuse is perfect, she seems to have sensed it, and the three words are inseparable from Zhou Yang's safety issue.

Zhou Yang remained calm on the face, but felt pain in his heart, extremely uncomfortable.

For a moment, he really wanted to tell everything frankly.

But as soon as this idea popped up, he was immediately dismissed.

He shuddered, forced himself to suppress the pain in his heart, and squeezed out a smile on his face: "You're talking stupid again, my husband is still waiting for you to quickly form the alchemy, so that we can add to the main line of our Zhou family! "

Sure enough, when she heard him say such words in front of her apprentices, Xiao Ying blushed immediately, glared at him blushingly and said angrily, "Husband, you bully others, Xuewei is still here!"

Lu Xuewei on the side also blushed pretty, lowering her head and not daring to speak.

"Hahaha, I'm leaving, the good news is for you to wait patiently for me."

Zhou Yang burst into laughter, laughed out of the cave, and flew directly to the Xuanyang Mountains.
