Cultivation Begins From The Desert

Ye Yunshan is a casual cultivator.

She is a casual cultivator born and raised in Anguo. When she was born, Anguo had just returned to the "Six Paths League". Of course, this has nothing to do with her.

As a casual cultivator, as long as you don't get involved in the war games of those big forces, as long as you stay away from places that will bring you great danger, you are still very free and safe.

But that's for male cultivators.

As a female cultivator, and also a rather pretty female cultivator, Ye Yunshan has encountered a lot of troubles because of this over the years.

In the past, when she was still young, her body had not yet grown, and at that time, she was taken care of by the old man Shizun who brought her into the world of cultivating immortals, so not many people thought of her.

However, when she was sixteen years old, the old man Shizun who brought her into the world of cultivating immortals died outside for no reason, and never came back. Since then, she lost her backing and began to really come into contact with the dangers of this world of cultivating immortals. up.

This situation did not get better until she met her current eldest brother Wang Yanzhang.

Her eldest brother, Wang Yanzhang, is a well-known hero in the casual cultivator circle in southern Anguo.

The reason why the two met in the first place was because a few casual cultivators took a peek at Ye Yunshan's beauty and followed her when she left the market, trying to catch her for doing something wrong.

Ye Yunshan is also a strong character with a soft exterior and a strong interior. She would rather die in battle than be humiliated by others, so she desperately fought fiercely with those villains.

But the strength of the two sides was very different, and her struggle was useless, and she was soon wounded by several villains and lost the power to resist.

However, just when she was desperate and wanted to reverse her mana and commit suicide by breaking her dantian meridian, the tall and mighty Wang Yanzhang suddenly appeared to save her and killed those villains who wanted to do something wrong.

Since then, Ye Yunshan has identified this big brother and has been following him, refusing to leave no matter what.

Later, Wang Yanzhang was unable to entangle her, so he recognized her as his righteous sister, and the two of them wandered together in this world of cultivating immortals.

One day, Wang Yanzhang was testing a second-level high-grade spell he had newly mastered in a valley, when Ye Yunshan suddenly ran over from the outside with excitement and joy, shouting as she ran, "Brother, stop quickly, I'll give you a second chance!" I have great news for you."

Wang Yanzhang has not seen this righteous sister so happy for a long time, and he suddenly realized that something important must have happened, but he did not show any expression on his face, but instead smiled and joked: "What great news is worth it to you?" So happy? Could it be that you finally figured it out and want to find someone to marry?"

"Hmph, I've already said that, you won't marry if you are not the eldest brother in this life, and you don't want to get rid of me in this life, elder brother!"

Ye Yunshan pursed her lips, snorted softly, and watched Wang Yanzhang say those words countless times without concealing her feelings.

As before, after hearing her words, Wang Yanzhang immediately turned his head away in embarrassment, not daring to meet her fiery eyes.

He could only change the subject and said, "Tell me, what good news makes you so happy?"

"coward!"

Ye Yunshan cursed in a low voice, and then said with a look of joy on her face again: "Today I heard great news from Fairy Yuzhi. People] want to open the mountain gate to recruit a group of registered disciples, it is said that those who are successfully selected will have a high chance of being rewarded with the Foundation Establishment Pill, and those who perform well will be more likely to be accepted as official disciples!"

When Wang Yanzhang heard the words, his expression suddenly changed, as if he was also moved.

But soon he thought of something again, and couldn't help frowning and said: "But Anguo is now owned by the [Six Dao League], and Chongxuan Mountain is an enclave under the jurisdiction of Yuqing Daozong. If there is any conflict between the two sides in the future, I'm afraid The other party will not stick to this place at all.”

"If we are selected as his registered disciples, once Chongxuan Mountain cannot hold on, that [Qingyun Sanren] will naturally be able to pat his legs and leave. I am afraid that we will not be able to escape the liquidation of [Six Dao League]!"

Ye Yunshan was slightly taken aback when she heard what he said, but she didn't think so much.

After she heard the news, she only thought about how beneficial it would be to be selected as a registered disciple of a Jindan stage monk, and never thought that she would be involved in the war between two super powers.

But she seems to be more open-minded than Wang Yanzhang on this matter.

She shook her head slightly and said: "Brother, these are just your inferences, and wars between [Six Dao League] and Yu Qing Dao Sect are not common, and it may not happen once in hundreds of years. Maybe we will lose our lifespan in the future." You can't see it even if you sit down."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Wang Yanzhang with a worried expression and said: "Brother, you were unlucky last time and failed to build a foundation, and your savings for many years were destroyed. Now you are about to turn sixty in four or five years. If you If you miss this opportunity, it will be difficult to build a foundation in the future!"

That's right, Wang Yanzhang is now a rare qi-training ten-level Dzogchen monk. He bought a foundation-building pill with his life savings five years ago, but the foundation-building pill failed with extremely bad luck.

As a casual cultivator, it is very, very difficult to be able to buy a spirit stone of the Foundation Establishment Pill before the age of sixty. If you want to buy a second one in a short time, it is almost impossible. Impossible to do.

Wang Yanzhang had originally planned that after he mastered a few more second-level high-grade spells, he would set off to become a monster hunter in places where monsters gather, and try to collect enough spirit stones to buy another one before the age of eighty. Take Zhujidan.

However, monster hunters are high-risk occupations. Being a monk in the qi training period who has been a monster hunter for 20 years and is still alive is rare. .

In particular, once he became a monster hunter, Ye Yunshan would definitely follow her. At that time, Wang Yanzhang would not be sure that he would be able to ensure the safety of this righteous sister in the extremely dangerous monster hunting operation.

Therefore, after hearing Sylvia's words, he couldn't help but relax his frown, nodded slowly and said, "It's because I think too much about brother, everything has advantages and disadvantages, we can't just want to take advantage, but don't want to take risks!"

"Brother, did you agree to go to Chongxuan Mountain to participate in the selection?"

Ye Yunshan looked at Wang Yanzhang in surprise, her eyes were full of joy.

"I agree, let's pack up and leave in a few days."

Wang Yanzhang nodded, and decided on the departure date without hesitation.

This same scene is being played out in both Anguo and Changuo's loose cultivator circles.

More than a month later, when the day for "Qingyun Sanren" to select registered disciples came, no less than a thousand people had gathered on the open space temporarily opened outside Chongxuan Mountain as a selection venue.

Among them were casual cultivators who came to participate in the selection like Wang Yanzhang and Ye Yunshan, as well as cultivators from various families and sects who came to watch the excitement after hearing the news, and there were even some cultivators in the Foundation Establishment period.

Of course, monks above the purple mansion period will definitely not come here.

Zhou Yang, whose alias was "Qingyun Sanren", actually didn't pay much attention to the recruitment of named disciples. After all, he actually just wanted to recruit a group of free coolies.

Therefore, he also relaxed the conditions for recruiting registered disciples. As long as they are innocent, under the age of sixty, and have a pure and reliable character, regardless of male or female, regardless of aptitude, they can participate in the selection, and finally select the best 20 people .

The selection method is also very simple. Those who are good at Lingzhi skills and have improved Lingzhifu's skills to the second-level top-rank can be admitted without examination.

Those who have reached the second level of Ling Zhifu's skill can be admitted first, and the last is the fighting method commonly used in the selection of disciples in the world of cultivating immortals.

Zhou Yang did not personally select these named disciples. The people responsible for the selection of named disciples were Zhou Ronghua and Zhou Rongxiang who had successfully established the foundation.

At this time, thirteen years had passed since Zhou Yang moved to Chongxuan Mountain. Zhou Ronghua, Zhou Rongxiang and other five Zhou family descendants who followed him to the world of cultivating immortals in Liuyunzhou, three of them had reached the ninth level of Qi training and took Zhuji Dan to shock The foundation building period has passed, but only Zhou Ronghua and Zhou Rongxiang succeeded in building the foundation.

Now, the two who succeeded in building the foundation naturally became the leaders of the monks from Zhou Yang and his wife on Chongxuan Mountain, responsible for managing the other three and this group of new disciples who were about to start.

The selection lasted for one day and ended. Both Wang Yanzhang and Ye Yunshan were lucky to be one of the twenty people.

Among them, Wang Yanzhang was admitted by relying on the 10th level of Dzogchen Qi training, while Ye Yunshan was admitted by relying on the status of second-level middle-level Lingzhi husband.

There is no way, there are not many monks who know a skill among casual cultivators, especially the skills of Ling Zhifu, which requires a spiritual field and a medicine garden to improve, are not an option for casual cultivators.

Ye Yunshan is also talented in this area, and with some encounters, she met this requirement at the age of thirty-two.

After the selection, brothers and sisters Wang Yanzhang, Ye Yunshan, and the other 18 selected monks were taken to Chongxuan Mountain by Zhou Ronghua and Zhou Rongxiang. There, they finally met Zhou Yang, whose alias was "Qingyun Sanren", and Meng Meng. Xiao Ying wearing a veil.

The reason why Xiao Ying wore a veil was naturally because she was afraid that after these named disciples had seen her real face, it would spread and expose Zhou Yang's identity in the future.

It was not the first time for Wang Yanzhang and Ye Yunshan to see the Golden Core Stage cultivator, but it was the first time that they saw the Golden Core Stage cultivator at such a close distance, and the other party was about to become their master, controlling their lives and others .

Both of them were a little nervous.

"You are able to come here through selection, which means that you are all people with some talents and opportunities. Today, the old man accepts you as registered disciples and allows you to practice with the old man on this Chongxuan Mountain. You should cherish this opportunity and work hard."

"Your information, I have asked the senior brothers and sisters who selected you to record. Three years later, I will personally assess you, and the winner of the assessment will be rewarded with the Foundation Establishment Pill. There are only three people in this quota."

"Okay, that's all for the old man. Regarding the rules here, your senior brothers and sisters will explain to you later. If you have any questions about cultivation in the future, you can also ask these two senior brothers and sisters for advice."

On Chongxuan Mountain, after Zhou Yang spoke to the registered disciples, he and his Taoist companion Xiao Ying went back to the cave to practice. Disciples explain the rules.

There are actually not many rules on Chongxuan Mountain, even very few, except that you can't go down the mountain easily, and you can't go up to the top of the mountain above 1,500 feet without permission, there are no big rules.

This made Wang Yanzhang and Ye Yunshan, who were used to the free life of casual cultivators, heave a sigh of relief. They also felt a little bit more fond of the so-called master who only met with themselves and others and said a few words.

At least from this aspect, the other party should not be the kind of moody and difficult to serve.

And through inquiring, they also knew what the master said about the assessment.

This assessment is actually divided into two parts, the cultivation part and the Lingzhi skill part.

The cultivation part is assessed according to the improvement progress of the 20 people in the past three years, because each person's cultivation level is different when they start, and the criteria for the assessment progress are actually based on the opinion of Master Zhou Yang .

The part of Lingzhi skills is mainly aimed at those monks like Ye Yunshan who rely on Lingzhifu's skills to get started. If they can significantly improve Lingzhifu's skills by a small realm, or even two small realms within three years, then they will get the foundation building. The chances of Dan rewarding are equally great.

This made Wang Yanzhang very distressed, because his cultivation base is already at the tenth level of Qi training, and there is no way to advance, not to mention three years, but thirty years. As long as he does not succeed in building a foundation, his cultivation base is impossible Variety.

So the only chance he has left seems to be to learn Ling Zhifu's skills.

From the two senior brothers and sisters, they have already learned that there is a complete Lingzhifu inheritance and other immortal cultivation inheritances in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion on the mountain, all the way to the third level, which is better than the road goods they can buy outside. on many.

And it is said that the teacher who has never spoken is also a high-ranking Lingzhi husband, and often gives lectures to the disciples on the mountain to teach Lingzhi skills, and even answers questions about cultivation.

"Brother, don't worry. Even if you can't, don't you still have me? I'm still very talented in Lingzhifu. Now there are systematic inheritance and large experi I will definitely be able to raise Ling Zhifu's skills to the second-level top-rank, and when I get the Foundation Establishment Pill, you can take it to hit the Foundation Establishment Stage again!"

Having been together for many years, and getting along day and night every day, Ye Yunshan quickly discovered what Wang Yanzhang was worried about, and then found a chance to be alone, and softly enlightened him.

I never thought that after Wang Yanzhang heard her words, his complexion changed drastically and he said angrily: "How can I do that! I, Wang Yanzhang, am not the kind of person who will take my sister's chance!"

"Don't mention this again!"

After finishing speaking, Wang Yanzhang left without waiting for Ye Yunshan to say anything else.

Seeing this, Ye Yunshan was immediately angry and annoyed, and couldn't help cursing at his leaving back: "Wang Yanzhang, you big fool, big fool, who will want to be the sister of you big fool? You are so stupid !"

But Wang Yanzhang disappeared from her sight very quickly, as if he had never heard of it.

Seeing this, she stomped her feet angrily, gritted her teeth and said to herself, "Just wait for me, after I get the Foundation Establishment Pill, I will naturally have a way to make you submit obediently!"

After she finished speaking, a smug expression appeared on her face, and she snorted triumphantly: "Hmph, after you use my Foundation Establishment Pill to establish the foundation, let's see if you still have the face to refuse my marriage proposal!"

However, what Ye Yunshan and Wang Yanzhang never expected was that what they said in private was caught by Zhou Yang who happened to release his consciousness to observe the situation of the registered disciples on the mountain.

"Interesting, I didn't expect that among these disciples, there is such an interesting pair of brothers and sisters. If there is a chance in the future, I want to hear their stories!"

In the cave mansion, Zhou Yang withdrew his consciousness, smiled jokingly and talked about what he saw just now.

He didn't mean to sneak a peek at other young couples and talk quietly, but because his cultivation was not going well just now, and he was depressed, he just wanted to see what the newly recruited disciples were doing.

Speaking of which, it has been thirteen years since he moved to Chongxuan Mountain. In the past thirteen years, he has devoted himself to cultivating the "Canglong Body Refining Art" in the cave mansion.

With sufficient support of the sixth-level flood dragon spirit blood, and his own conditions are also very suitable for this supernatural power, his advancement is very fast, and it took only eight years to cultivate the supernatural power to the third level.

But in the next five years, he obviously felt that the speed of this supernatural power practice slowed down.

What frustrates him most is that he doesn't know why.

The effect of the sixth-order dragon spirit blood has not disappeared, and he can feel the increase in physical strength every time he practices, but after five years, he finds that his progress has only been completed by one-tenth.

According to this calculation, he will need at least forty-five years to practice this supernatural power to the fourth level.

But the remaining Flood Dragon Spirit Blood in his hand can only support him to practice in the current way for ten years and it will be exhausted!

This should not be the case!

Zhou Yang knew that there must be something wrong, he guessed that his practice method might be wrong.

If you want to practice the "Canglong Body Refining Art" to the fourth level, the method should be different from the previous one.

And this information was obviously concealed by someone, and it was not recorded in the practice method of this supernatural power.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yang couldn't help frowning, and muttered to himself: "It seems that I have to stop practicing this "Canglong Body Training Art" for the time being. When I see Senior Qingyang next time, I can ask him about this." Question, let's see if the old man can help me find the reason."

The most taboo in practice is to be reckless, which is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also easy to gain nothing.

When you find a problem, you need to stop temporarily and continue after you find a solution to the problem. This is the correct way of practice.

Zhou Yang has practiced along the way, except that when he was a young monk in the Qi training stage and foundation building stage, there were family elders who often instructed him to practice, and he walked slowly step by step.

Therefore, he still has a lot of experience in the field of practice, and he will not easily walk into a dead end.

There is a saying: the east side is not bright, but the west side is bright.

Although the fourth level of the "Canglong Body Refining Art" was not as easy as expected, Zhou Yang still has a big harvest in the past thirteen years of practice, which is to raise the "Qianyang Golden Pagoda", a natal magic weapon, to the fifth level. middle grade.

At this time, it has been more than a hundred years since he successfully formed the alchemy. The main reason for being able to warm up the natal magic weapon to this level in such a short period of time is that the materials he used to refine this natal magic weapon are too advanced up.

You must know that under normal circumstances, a piece of "Nine Heavens Profound Gold" falls into the hands of a sixth-level weapon refining master, and it is easy to refine a sixth-level magic weapon, and it is still a high-quality sixth-level magic weapon.

In this way, the "Canglong Body Refining Art" has been practiced to the third level, and the natal magic weapon has been promoted to the fifth-level middle-grade. Although Zhou Yang's cultivation base has not increased, his strength has increased a lot.

At this time, he even vaguely expected that his first mission would come soon, so that he could also see how strong he was now.

However, in the next three years, everything was uneventful. Zhou Yang did not receive any mission assignments from Xuanyang Xianzong or Yuqing Daozong. After recuperating, he finally retreated again and launched an attack on the Golden Core Stage.

It is a big event to retreat into the Golden Core stage, so Zhou Yang fully opened the mountain protection formation of Chongxuan Mountain, regardless of the continuous consumption of a large amount of spiritual energy.

Anyway, apart from their two high-level monks, there were no other high-level monks on Chongxuan Mountain, and the consumption of spiritual energy for those low-level monks was almost negligible.

In this case, even if the mountain protection formation is opened all year round, as long as it is not attacked, the consumption of spiritual energy is completely within the tolerable range, and it will not be a problem if it lasts for at least ten or eight years.

And the mountain protection formation was fully activated, before the formation was broken, Zhou Yang didn't have to worry about Xiao Ying who was in retreat being disturbed, and he didn't have to deliberately go outside her retreat to guard.

When the mountain protection formation was fully activated, the registered disciples such as Wang Yanzhang and Ye Yunshan, who were practicing on the mountain, panicked for a while, thinking that some powerful enemy was coming.

After learning that it was the kind-hearted mistress who caused the master "Qingyun Sanren" to open the mountain protection array to protect the law, these disciples quickly settled down, and then they all loyally turned to Xiao Xiao. Ying knelt down in the direction of the retreat cave, silently praying and wishing the teacher a successful alchemy.

Although it's only been three years since the beginning, these registered disciples have deeply remembered the kindness of the teacher's wife during these three years.

She often came out to teach them the skills of spiritual planting and even the knowledge of alchemy, and she would patiently answer the questions about cultivation raised by the disciples.

Even if some disciples are extremely clumsy in learning Lingzhi skills, she will not beat and scold them. Instead, she will let them try to practice other skills of cultivating immortals, and she will help to intercede with their master to explain the matter.

The most important thing is that this mistress often bestows some precious pills to those outstanding disciples. Although those pills are only second-level panacea that are easily available to her, this kind of behavior makes a group of The registered disciples were very moved and grateful.

You must know that registered disciples are just a nice name in the world of cultivating immortals. In fact, for high-ranking monks, such so-called registered disciples are servants, humble existences who can beat and scold life and death at will.

The group of registered disciples on Chongxuan Mountain are all from casual cultivators, and they have a deep understanding of the coldness and softness of people in the world of cultivating immortals, so they know what a great opportunity and how good it is to meet a good teacher like Xiao Ying luck.

Therefore, even though they have only been together for three years, these people have already recognized this kind and kind teacher from the bottom of their hearts, and hope that this kind and kind teacher will be kind and rewarding, and form a golden pill in one fell swoop, and live a thousand years!

"These little guys still have some conscience, Ying'er didn't hurt them in vain!"

On Chongxuan Mountain, Zhou Yang looked at the disciples who were kneeling on the ground and sincerely prayed for the Taoist couple Jie Dan, and couldn't help but nodded, feeling very relieved.

ps: I stayed at the top of the combat power list for most of the day today, and I have achieved my goal. The monthly pass goal is indeed something I took for granted. I actually know the gap, so the goal is to stay for only one day... But it doesn’t matter, thanks anyway With the full support of all book lovers, you don’t have to vote for me for the monthly pass. This month, the new book of the house pig will hold a monthly pass event. There must be a lot of monthly pass red envelopes at the end of the month. You can save the monthly pass to grab the red envelope and earn some coins to read books!

I know that some book friends will talk about these two chapters, but what I want to say is that I am trying to rebuild the supporting characters and enrich the number of characters. For this reason, I need a few chapters to describe the characters of these people, so that people can remember them! In fact, I have already made a big mistake in this book, that is, I wrote to death the supporting characters with distinctive personalities such as the old patriarch at the beginning, so that there are no supporting characters who can interact with the main character in the end, and there is only one Qingyang real person. Jiang Fengxian is good enough, but the rest of Guo Jinhong and others are not enough! These two chapters have almost laid the groundwork, and the following plots will return to the main line.
