Cultivation Begins From The Desert

Xiao Ying's alchemy cannot be completed in half a year or a year. With the Chongxuan Mountain Protective Array fully activated, there is no need for Zhou Yang to guard her retreat outside the cave all the time, so life on the mountain goes on as usual, but all the disciples from now on At the beginning, they were not allowed to go out and leave the mountain gate.

And in less than two months, the assessment that Zhou Yang had mentioned when Wang Yanzhang and Ye Yunshan's registered disciples started, also took place as scheduled.

The assessment was personally presided over by Zhou Yang to ensure that no one would take sides.

"In three years, you have been promoted from the sixth level of Qi training to the seventh level of Qi training. Although you have used the power of pills, it is still very good, but you obviously recruited by Ling Zhifu's skills. But you haven't put any effort into this skill?"

On Chongxuan Mountain, Zhou Yangduan, aliased as "Qingyun Sanren", was sitting on a grand master's chair, and was commenting on a registered disciple who came forward to accept the assessment.

The disciple who registered his name showed joy when he heard his words at first, thinking that there was some drama, but when he heard the second half of the sentence, he was instantly sweating profusely and was unable to answer.

Seeing this, Zhou Yang couldn't help shaking his head, waved his hand and said, "Go down."

The faint three words sounded like a thunderbolt to the ear of the named disciple, causing his legs to tremble, and then retreated with a look of despair on his face.

In fact, Zhou Yang knew the reason even if the disciple didn't say anything.

There were only twenty or so people on Chongxuan Mountain, and he could see clearly what everyone was doing when he released his consciousness occasionally.

And most of the registered disciples are actually like this person. After suddenly coming to this kind of environment with rich aura, they can't wait to spend every minute of their time on cultivation to improve their cultivation.

If it wasn't for taking care of the thousands of acres of spiritual fields, medicine gardens, and orchards on the mountain, it was a task that the registered disciples had to do, and they probably wouldn't want to "waste" a quarter of an hour on it.

Even so, after completing the basic tasks of watering, fertilizing and killing insects, few of these people are willing to stay and continue to use this opportunity to practice spiritual planting skills. It is difficult for them to come into contact with the inheritance when they are doing casual cultivation in the outside world.

It cannot be said that these people are doing wrong. After all, for cultivators, meditation and cultivation are always the most important thing. The ultimate purpose of all other things is to serve this matter.

But these people shouldn't forget the reason why Zhou Yang recruited them to be registered disciples, and they shouldn't forget how they got started.

For monks like Wang Yanzhang who started out by fighting and fighting, Zhou Yang would not ask them why they didn't focus on improving their spirit planting skills, and the only criterion for evaluating them was their cultivation base.

But like the registered disciple just now, he was a monk who was specially recruited by Lingzhi skills. After getting started, he almost gave up the craft that allowed him to get started, and went to practice at the same speed as others. This kind of person who can't even tell what is more important?

Does he miss those foundation-building monks?

As a Golden Core stage monk, if he really wants to recruit a group of Foundation Establishment stage monks as registered disciples, as long as he is willing to take out some resources as bait, naturally a large number of Foundation Establishment casual cultivators and small family Foundation Establishment monks will come to be his disciples. disciple.

Therefore, Zhou Yang will naturally not reuse those who can't even see through this point.

In this way, the registered disciples lined up and took turns to accept his assessment, and then either they were happy or lost their minds, and they took turns to retreat to wait for the final result.

Wang Yanzhang was also one of those lost souls.

He originally thought that his perfect cultivation of qi would allow the titular master "Qingyun Sanren" to take a second look and understand his situation and give him a chance.

But reality gave him a merciless blow.

"Qingyun Sanren" did not ask him about cultivation, but when asked about his Lingzhi skills, he was completely speechless.

Compared with other disciples who are obsessed with cultivation, he actually has more time to spend on it, and he has indeed put a lot of effort into it.

But he really doesn't have half a talent in this area. In three years, he barely made it to the elementary level. Just like this, he still killed the results of countless low-level elixir plants.

Fortunately, Chongxuan Mountain is full of aura, those cheap low-level elixir just need to find a place to sow the seeds, pay attention to watering and fertilizing, and they can survive and mature well, so Zhou Yang can let these registered disciples do whatever they want.

And completely different from Wang Yanzhang, his younger sister Ye Yunshan was highly praised by the master "Qingyun Sanren", because she successfully raised the spirit planting skill from the second-level mid-level to the second-level top-level in three years, and also He raised his cultivation base from the seventh level of Qi training to the level close to the eighth level of Qi training, and was actually one of the recipients who was confirmed as the foundation building pill on the spot.

"After this seat's assessment of you and others, the three winners who have obtained the Foundation Establishment Pill have been confirmed this time. They are Ye Yunshan, Li Qingyun, and Ren Fei!"

On Chongxuan Mountain, after all twenty disciples had accepted the assessment, Zhou Yang glanced at the twenty registered disciples with different faces, and said his decision in a deep voice.

Hearing his words, Ye Yunshan and the other three winners were naturally overjoyed, they knelt down and kowtowed to him with excitement on the spot to thank him.

But Wang Yanzhang and other unselected monks had pale faces, and looked at the three of them with envy.

They knew that after these three people got the Foundation Establishment Pill, it might not be long before the brothers who were originally peers in the same school might have to call out "senior" in the future.

At this moment, Zhou Yang spoke again.

"Of course, those of you who are not selected don't have to worry, as long as you perform well in the future and can enter the eyes of this seat, this seat will not hesitate to give you a magic pill to help you build a foundation."

Immediately, the faces of those losers were full of surprise.

Zhou Yang's words undoubtedly gave them another hope.

Some people couldn't help but think of Zhou Ronghua, Zhou Rongxiang, and Zhou Shengying, the three brothers and sisters of the Foundation Establishment Stage who had started before them. They already knew that these registered disciples who followed their master "Qingyun Sanren" all received Foundation Establishment Pill rewards.

However, among the five people who took the Foundation Establishment Pill to attack the Foundation Establishment, only three of them succeeded. The other two senior brothers, Zhou Rongxing and Zhou Shengwei, failed in the Foundation Establishment and became Qi-training Dzogchen monks like Wang Yanzhang.

Since the five senior brothers and sisters can make the master "Qingyun Sanren" look at him differently and bestow the Foundation Establishment Pill, why can't they?

Thinking of this, the registered disciples who failed the assessment quickly regained their fighting spirit and confidence, thanked Zhou Yang respectfully and left.

After Zhou Yang handed out the foundation building pills to the three winners on the spot, he didn't stay long, and returned to the mountaintop area soon.

The area on the top of the mountain is a mysterious place for these registered disciples. Not only is it blocked by formations, preventing them from entering, but it is also shrouded in clouds and fog all the year round, preventing them from seeing what is going on inside.

On the entire Chongxuan Mountain, apart from the master and his wife, only Zhou Ronghua and other five senior brothers and sisters who had started before them could enter.

Whenever someone couldn't help being curious and asked these people about the situation, the brothers and sisters who had been kind to them would immediately scold them with a straight face and forbid them to ask about it.

After several people hit the wall one after another, no one dared to inquire about it anymore.

It's just that occasionally, when they hear the high-pitched crowing of an eagle from the top of the mountain, some people can't help but guess whether there is a high-level eagle-type monster kept in captivity on the mountain.

The fact is also the same, Zhou Yang closed the area on the top of the mountain mainly because he didn't want those registered disciples to see the "Golden Winged Thunder Eagle" perched on the top of the mountain.

The arrest warrant issued by the Beastmaster Sect clearly states that he owns a rare spirit beast mount "Golden Winged Thunder Eagle".

If those named disciples were allowed to see the "Golden Winged Thunder Eagle" perched on the mountain and recognize his origin, his true identity would be at risk of being revealed.

That's why he closed the area on the top of the mountain, and only allowed a few juniors of the Zhou family who knew the basics to enter this area, and usually helped him feed this spirit beast when he was retreating.

"Golden Winged Thunder Eagle" has been following Zhou Yang for more than two hundred years, because he has been fed various high-level monster meat and monster spirits by Zhou Yang, and now he has fully entered the mature stage and has become a powerful beast A fourth-tier high-grade monster.

It's a pity that although its strength has grown rapidly, it is far inferior to the master Zhou Yang, so that it is obviously a ferocious monster bird that has awakened the blood of a barbarian, but it can only be used as a mount for the master Zhou Yang , A complete waste of talent.

Zhou Yang is actually aware of this problem. However, the enemies he has encountered over the years are either true demons in the Transcendence Tribulation Stage, or real people in the Nascent Soul Stage. Occasionally, he encounters an enemy in the Golden Core Stage. For various reasons, he is not suitable for summoning. It was only this spirit pet of the fourth-order monster who played in the battle.

So, he could only use the fourth-order puppet beasts that he took the time to refine to play with this spiritual pet, lest if he didn't fight for too long, this bird of prey would really forget how to fight.

The cries of eagles heard by those unnamed disciples occasionally were made when the "Golden Winged Thunder Eagle" was fighting with the puppet, when the battle was reaching its height.

But now that Xiao Ying is retreating and forming alchemy, everything needs to be quiet, Zhou Yang can no longer play this kind of game with this pet, and even needs to put it in the spirit beast ring to let it sleep, lest it forget itself one day Suddenly, something happened in the mountain top area, which disturbed Xiao Ying who was in retreat.

Next, while waiting for the result of Xiao Ying's alchemy, Zhou Yang continued to practice the magical power of "Hiding Dragon Avoiding Tribulation Skill" obtained from "Tattooed Human Butcher" Wu Biao.

This supernatural power can be said to be the magical skill of a murderer. If you learn this supernatural power, as long as you don't get caught on the spot, you don't have to worry about being found afterwards.

However, according to the general rules of the world of cultivating immortals, it is also a powerful supernatural power, the more difficult it is to practice.

The practice of "Hidden Dragon Avoiding Tribulation Art" needs a kind of spiritual grass called "Cloud Breath Grass" as an auxiliary material to practice.

"Cloud Breath Grass" itself is only a third-order spiritual grass, but because of its limited use, it is rarely planted artificially, which means that it is difficult to find it in large quantities.

Fortunately, in Wu Biao's storage ring, Zhou Yang found dozens of finished "Cloud Breath Grass", which should be the inventory left by Wu Biao's usual practice of "Dragon Hidden Avoidance".

In addition, when he was in Xianyang City, he had already asked Xuanyang Pavilion to help him purchase this item, and after he had accumulated a certain amount, he would summon him to collect it.

Now more than ten years have passed, although he has not received the summons from Xuanyang Pavilion, but with the power of Xuanyang Immortal Sect, he can't even do this well.

But even with the "Cloud Breathing Grass" as auxiliary materials, Zhou Yang's progress in practicing the "Hidden Dragon Avoiding Tribulation Art" cannot be considered fast. According to his own estimation, without more than ten years of practice, it may be difficult to master this supernatural power. Getting started is used for actual combat.

Fortunately, Zhou Yang is a monk at the Golden Core stage, and he still has a lot of lifespan. Compared with the benefits of practicing the supernatural power of "Hiding Dragon Avoiding Tribulation", he can still accept the time cost.

Let's talk about the brother and sister Wang Yanzhang and Ye Yunshan.

After the assessment, with Zhou Yang leaving first, Wang Yanzhang and other unselected registered disciples, except for a few people, gathered around Ye Yunshan and the three people who had obtained the Foundation Establishment Pill to congratulate.

The thinking of these people is also very simple. These three people have a high chance of succeeding in building a foundation in the future. If they get closer to them in advance, it will be more convenient for them to ask for help or whatever in the future.

At this time, Ye Yunshan actually just wanted to take her eldest brother Wang Yanzhang back to her residence quickly, and then handed over the Foundation Establishment Pill she had just obtained to him to take it to impact the Foundation Establishment period.

However, having grown up in the world of cultivating immortals, she is very clear about the truth that one more friend has more paths.

Not to mention that she hasn't succeeded in building the foundation yet, even if she succeeds in building the foundation, she can't ignore the enthusiasm of these fellow disciples, otherwise she might pay a heavy price for her arrogance one day in the future.

After dealing with these people all the time, after half a day, Ye Yunshan found an excuse, took her eldest brother Wang Yanzhang to leave the table first, and returned to the small courtyard where the two lived.

There are a large number of small courtyards and palaces built by the disciples of Yuqing Taoist Sect on Chongxuan Mountain. Even Ye Yunshan and the other named disciples can have a separate courtyard for each of them, without being crowded with others.

But Ye Yunshan insisted on living in the same yard with Wang Yanzhang, and Wang Yanzhang had nothing to do with her sister.

"Sister, why are you so eager to bring brother back? Today is your big day, we should celebrate more."

In the courtyard, Wang Yanzhang looked at Ye Yunshan with a puzzled expression, and directly asked the question in his heart.

The relationship between the two of them, so that he doesn't need to bother to guess what, just ask if there is anything.

"Why? It's not for you, brother."

Ye Yunshan glared at this somewhat careless elder brother, rolled her beautiful eyes, and said angrily: "And what are you talking about, what a happy day, the day you marry me will be my real happy day! "

Hearing her words, Wang Yanzhang retorted in a muffled voice: "How many times have I told you that I will not marry you? Isn't it good for us to be brothers and sisters? Why do you always want me to marry you!"

"Then why don't you want to marry me?"

Ye Yunshan glared at him with beautiful eyes, her eyes were full of resentment, like a boudoir who complains.

Wang Yanzhang seemed to have not noticed this at all, and said helplessly, "Don't you know this? I swore a long time ago that if I don't succeed in building the foundation, I won't break the body of Yuanyang for a day! "

Ye Yunshan also seemed to have known that he would answer this way a long time ago, so she couldn't help but stared at him closely and asked: "So, it's not that you don't want to marry me, but you don't want to lose your Yuanyang body because of marrying me before you build your foundation. Is it the foundation?"

"You can think so!"

Wang Yanzhang didn't realize anything yet, he just curled his lips lightly and replied perfunctorily.

Today's question and answer has actually been done many times in the past, and every time it comes to this point, Ye Yunshan will be disappointed and will not mention this matter again.

He thought it would be the same this time.

But this time is different.

After hearing what he said, Ye Yunshan immediately reached into the storage bag, took out the jade bottle containing the foundation pill and threw it at him.

Out of an instinctive reaction, Wang Yanzhang immediately reached out to catch the jade bottle to prevent it from falling to the ground.

Then he heard Ye Yunshan's righteous words.

"Wang Yanzhang, listen carefully. This Foundation Establishment Pill is my dowry. You will take it immediately to hit the Foundation Establishment period. After you succeed in Foundation Establishment, we will immediately pay homage to marriage and become an official Taoist couple!"

Wang Yanzhang was dumbfounded immediately.

He looked at Ye Yunshan in shock. The serious look on this younger sister's face made him realize that she was not joking.

"Sister, you..."

He stammered and looked at Ye Yunshan, and suddenly panicked.

Ye Yunshan had been with him for more than ten years, and it was the first time he had seen her look so serious.

No matter how unresponsive he was, he still knew that what Ye Yunshan said this time had absolutely different meanings from the half-joking words before.

So he didn't refuse immediately without hesitation as before.

Because he was also afraid in his heart, afraid that if he really refused without hesitation, he would completely hurt this sister's heart, so that there would be terrible consequences that he absolutely did not want to see.

He had to admit that after being together for more than ten years, he had long been used to having this sister by his side.

At least with this younger sister by his side, every time he goes out to do missions and returns home, he can eat a delicious meal of medicinal food, and then sleep peacefully.

Sometimes when he came back from injury, it was this sister who bandaged him and helped him buy healing elixir.

After having this younger sister, he really felt the warmth of home.

Therefore, after he failed in foundation building, he had already made a plan to become a monster hunter, but he always made up his mind to leave because he was reluctant to let go of his sister.

At this time, he was suddenly forced into the palace by Ye Yunshan, and he was extremely flustered, not knowing what to do.

Seeing this, Ye Yunshan seemed to be inspired, and pressed forward step by step to meet him face to face, looked at him with a determined face and said loudly: "Wang Yanzhang, you saved my life!" Yes, it was you who saved me from being insulted by those villains. From the day you saved me, I have made up my mind not to marry you, so if you don’t agree today, then I will give my life back You, we will never owe you any more!"

"Why is this, why is this!"

Wang Yanzhang couldn't help taking a few steps back, looking at Ye Yunshan's pretty face with a blank expression, his eyes were full of panic.

He never expected that Ye Yunshan, who has always been obedient to him, would force him to make such a decision related to his life on a day like today.

"Passionate love has been filled with hatred since ancient times, and this hatred is endless! Wang Yanzhang, if you don't promise her today, you'd better kill her, otherwise she will hate you because of love, and spend her whole life against you!"

A deep voice suddenly rang out from Wang Yanzhang's mind when he was in a panic and unable to make a decision.

After hearing this voice, his mind was shocked, and he regained consciousness from the state of trance in an instant.

He recognized the origin of this voice, it was the master of this Chongxuan Mountain, their master "Qingyun Sanren".

Wang Yanzhang never imagined that when his younger sister Ye Yunshan forced him into the palace, he would receive a voice transmission from his master "Qingyun Sanren", and the other party's words made him shudder.

"No, I will definitely not kill her, even if she really wants to kill me, I will not kill her!"

He yelled in his heart and replied that he had forgotten that the other party was his master, a Jindan stage monk who could control his own life and death.

Fortunately, "Qingyun Sanren" didn't seem to care about these things, but continued to transmit to him: "Since this is the case, why don't you dare to agree to her? Don't tell me that in your heart, marrying her is something more terrible and difficult than death?" acceptable thing?"

"I……"

Wang Yanzhang seemed unable to answer this question and got stuck again.

And his horrified and hesitant appearance quickly aroused Ye Yunshan's suspicion. She stopped her persecution for a moment, stepped forward and grabbed his arm with a full face of concern and asked, "Brother, what's the matter? Are you here?" Who are you talking to via voice transmission?"

Hearing her words, Wang Yanzhang felt a chill run down his spine, and couldn't help but think of the cold and heartless words of "Qingyun Sanren" just now.

Then, as if he had made up his mind, he took a deep breath, looked at Ye Yunshan and said, "Okay, big brother promises you, after big brother succeeds in building the foundation, I will marry you as my wife!"

Ye Yunshan's delicate body was shocked when she heard his words, and her pretty face immediately flushed with blood, and she grabbed his arm with excitement and shook it violently and said loudly: "Really? Brother, what are you talking about?" Really? Did I hear you right? Say it again, I want to hear you say it again!"

It has been a long time since Wang Yanzhang saw her showing such an excited and happy look. The initial resistance in his heart dissipated in an instant, and he squeezed out a smile on his face and followed her words and said again: "Sister, you didn't listen. Wrong, I said I promised to marry you."

After finishing speaking, he also said in his heart: "Master, this disciple is willing to marry Yun Shan as his wife. If Master wants to punish her, then punish this disciple. This disciple is willing to suffer on her behalf!"

It's a pity that he didn't receive any response to his words.

This made him somewhat uneasy, wondering if the master had heard what he said.

But he didn't dare to say anything about it, let alone tell Ye Yunshan the truth, so he could only bear it in his heart.

Half a year later, after Wang Yanzhang took the Foundation Establishment Pill given by Ye Yunshan, he was successfully promoted to a Foundation Establishment stage monk.

For Wang Yanzhang's sudden foundation establishment, the other registered disciples were obviously quite surprised, and when these people learned that Ye Yunshan gave Wang Yanzhang his foundation establishment pill as a dowry, their eyes turned red with envy.

Using the Foundation Establishment Pill as a dowry, not to mention those little monks in the Qi training period, even those cultivating immortal families, most of them can't do such a extravagant thing.

Only those big families with monks in the Zifu period or even monks in the Jindan period would do such extravagant things when they recruited a son-in-law for an important family member of the family, or when the important family member of the family married an important member of the family of the same status.

After successfully establishing the foundation, Wang Yanzhang and Ye Yunshan became a Taoist couple as promised, and invited all the brothers from the same sect on Chongxuan Mountain to be witnesses.

In fact, he also invited Zhou Yang, the master, through his senior brother Zhou Ronghua, but what made him feel uneasy and confused was that the master who obviously wanted to marry Ye Yunshan as his wife at the beginning was unwilling to come out to witness this. something happened.

Puzzled in his heart, he didn't dare to talk about it with others, not even his new wife Ye Yunshan, so he could only continue to keep it in his heart.

Two years later, Li Qingyun, a registered disciple who also received a Foundation Establishment Pill, had reached the ninth level of Qi training, and he also took the Foundation Establishment Pill to succeed in the Foundation Establishment Stage, and was promoted to become the fifth Foundation Establishment stage monk on Chongxuan Mountain.

Another year passed, Ren Fei, the last registered disciple who received the Foundation Establishment Pill, also successfully established the foundation through the Foundation Establishment Pill.

Three Foundation Establishment Pills produced three Foundation Establishment cultivators. This kind of situation is relatively rare. Zhou Yang was also quite happy about this, and even specially bestowed a few third-order magic weapons to the three new Foundation Establishment cultivators. The monks use it for refinement, and they are also allowed to choose a high-level exercise to practice.

Of course, the advanced exercises will only give them a chapter in the foundation period, and in the future, unless they succeed in opening up the Purple Mansion and prove their loyalty with practical actions, they will be able to obtain follow-up exercises.

In this way, the time passed slowly, and soon Xiao Ying spent five years in retreat and forming alchemy.

One day five years later, a huge spiritual energy vortex suddenly appeared on Chongxuan Mountain, and then the entire Chongxuan Mountain and the surrounding world's spiritual energy for a hundred or two miles rushed towards the spiritual energy vortex, and soon it was in Chongxuan. A group of colorful spiritual clouds formed over the mountain.

This kind of movement on Chongxuan Mountain was quickly discovered by some monks who were active nearby, and then the news that someone on Chongxuan Mountain had successfully formed an alchemy quickly spread throughout the territory of Anguo.

There is no manuscript left, only one update of 6,000 words, but there will be two updates on the weekend. After all, I said that this week will update 100,000 words. Our reputation has always been guaranteed, and old book lovers know it!
