Cultivation Begins From The Desert

Killing one person in thousands of miles hides merit and fame.

Zhou Yang found that he still enjoyed this feeling a little bit.

That cultivator of the Qi family is indeed a treacherous villain!

While checking his storage ring, Zhou Yang found dozens of human skin masks in it, each of which was made from the skin of a real living person.

The methods of cultivators make these masks look lifelike, exactly the same as when people are alive, but the empty eyes let people know that these are just masks, not real living people.

And the owners of the masks are indeed female cultivators of various ages and appearances.

It can be seen from this that this monk of the Qi family not only practiced the evil technique of harvesting tonics, but also had a perverted hobby of cutting faces and making skins after being stabbed to death by women who harvested tonics.

It's a pity that the sorcery of harvesting and nourishing that he practiced has not been found in this person's storage ring, otherwise there will be another piece of evidence.

Even so, Zhou Yang believed that after he handed over the dozens of human skin masks to Xuanyang Xianzong, they must have a way to use this matter to create some troubles for the Qi family.

Of course, there are not only evidences of crimes such as human skin masks in the storage ring of the monks of the Qi family, but also many treasures.

It was originally going to the "Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers" to celebrate the birthday of a golden elixir cultivator, and the birthday celebration treasure prepared was quite extraordinary, it was a fifth-level elixir "Chalcedony Jinzhi".

This thing can be used to refine the panacea for improving cultivation, and it can be used as medicine for thousands of years. It has a wide range of uses, and it is generally only planted in those powerful medicine gardens.

In addition, in this person's storage ring, Zhou Yang also got a bottle of fifth-order elixir that can improve the cultivation base of a mid-term golden elixir monk, more than 200,000 spirit stones, more than a dozen top-grade spirit stones, and various elixir, There are several magic symbols.

These things are all his trophies and are completely under his control.

With these things, Zhou Yang did not go back to Xuanshan, but went directly to Xianyang City.

When he arrived in Xianyang City, Zhou Yang first went to Xuanyang Pavilion to inquire about the acquisition of "Cloud Breathing Grass".

It has been nearly twenty years since he entrusted Xuanyang Pavilion to acquire the "Cloud Breath Grass", but there has been no news, which made him very curious.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, forgive me, this [Cloud Breath Grass] is too unorthodox, and almost no one grows it. We have harvested it for nearly 20 years, and only received these 15 plants. Let me see, if you are not in a hurry to use this thing , might as well try to grow this thing yourself.”

In Xuanyang Pavilion, in the face of Zhou Yang's visit, Sun Zhengbin, the current treasurer of Xuanyang Pavilion, warmly received him.

It's just that when he asked about the acquisition of "Cloud Breath Grass", this person shook his head with a wry smile and explained the inside story to him.

"Sun Daoyou was joking, if Zhou was not in a hurry to use this thing, he would not have entrusted you Xuanyang Pavilion to buy it."

Zhou Yang shook his head, but he didn't think about what Sun Zhengbin said later.

Although "Cloud Breath Grass" is not a high-level elixir, as a third-level spiritual herb, its maturity cycle is as long as two to three hundred years. How could Zhou Yang wait for such a long time.

So after he pondered for a while, he nodded and said: "Well, fellow Taoist Dongxi still helps Zhou buy it, and Zhou can increase the price. Isn't your current purchase price two thousand low-grade spirit stones? Someone is willing to increase the price to 4,000 low-grade spirit stones per plant, the more the quantity, the better!"

Four thousand low-grade spirit stones, this is almost the top price of a third-order elixir. Normally, a third-order elixir like "Cloud Breath Grass" is sold, and even fifteen hundred spirit stones may not be able to be sold.

When Sun Zhengbin heard his words, surprise flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't help muttering in his heart. He didn't understand why he valued the elixir of "Cloud Breath Grass" so much.

But he said immediately: "You Daoist Zhou is so proud, Mr. Sun admires it, please rest assured, Mr. Sun will let people spread the news immediately. I believe that with such a heavy reward, the acquisition situation will be greatly changed."

"Hopefully!"

Zhou Yang nodded slightly, then left the Xuanyang Pavilion and headed for the Xuanyang Mountains.

He had already notified Master Qingyang with a Feijian message in advance, and after arriving outside the mountain gate of Xuanyang Immortal Sect, his old acquaintance Xu Zhengyang was waiting for him there.

As soon as the two met and greeted each other a few words, Xu Zhengyang said seriously: "Fellow Daoist Zhou, Uncle Qingyang is still waiting for Fellow Daoist, Xu will not waste time here with Fellow Daoist, wait for Fellow Daoist to finish seeing you." After Master Qingyang, please go to Xu’s Zhengyang Peak to talk about it, Xu wants to ask fellow Taoists for help!”

When Zhou Yang heard his words, he was taken aback for a moment, then immediately nodded and said: "Your junior understands, senior Xu can rest assured, after seeing senior Qingyang, this junior will definitely come to the door."

Afterwards, the two of them didn't say much, and Zhou Yang, led by Xu Zhengyang, rushed all the way to Xuanyang Peak and entered the cave of Master Qingyang.

Zhou Yang entered the "Qingyang Cave" alone. After seeing the real person Qingyang, he saluted first, and then told the story of how he killed the monk of the Qi family, and told those people who got it from his storage ring. The leather mask and some female cultivators that could be used as evidence were handed over to the other party.

"Very good, you did a good job on this matter, with these evidences, the old man can see how rampant Qi Fengyun is!"

Master Qingyang inspected the things Zhou Yang took out, and then praised him with a smile on his face, obviously very satisfied with his completion of this task.

Then he nodded slightly, looked at Zhou Yang and said: "According to the original agreement, every time you complete a task, our sect will give you a corresponding reward. The reward for this task is 200,000 sect merit points. Do you want to exchange it for real rewards now, or is the old Taoist here to help you accumulate and record it?"

Zhou Yang had been waiting for his words for a long time, and immediately said after hearing the words: "Senior Mingjian, the junior Taoist couple has already formed alchemy, and now they are worrying about the things made by the natal magic weapon. I don't know if there is a fifth-order tree demon in your family. Reserve of [Tree Demon Heart]? This junior is willing to use this mission reward plus something of equal value in exchange for this thing as a reward!"

"The fifth-order [Tree Demon Heart] can be met but not sought. There are a large number of Jindan stage monks in our sect. Even if they occasionally buy this thing from the outside world, they will be replaced soon. What do you want this thing? No."

Master Qingyang shook his head lightly, but there was nothing he could do about it.

Hearing this, Zhou Yang didn't have much disappointment on his face. He had already expected this result to some extent, and he didn't have much hope because of it.

So he immediately took advantage of the situation and said: "The junior wants to ask the senior to help release a bounty message for finding the fifth-order tree demon. I wonder if it is possible?"

In factions like "Xuanqing Daomeng" and Xuanyang Xianzong, there are various bounty lists. It is a routine operation for high-level monks in the faction to post bounty messages to find a treasure, and usually the results are very good.

After all, there are too many monks in these two forces. They are scattered all over the world of cultivating immortals in Liuyunzhou, and they know countless kinds of news. Would be happy to earn some extra income too.

If a Nascent Soul cultivator like Master Qingyang releases news of the bounty, there are not too many cultivators who are willing to provide information.

Zhou Yang knew this and made this request.

However, Master Qingyang looked at him with a half-smile after hearing his words and said: "The old Taoist came forward to announce the reward news, at least 50,000 sect merits are worth one time, are you sure you need the old Taoist help?"

Xuanyang Immortal Sect's 50,000 sect merit value, if converted into spirit stones, would be 80,000 if not 100,000.

And Zhou Yang took the risk of offending a top power to kill a Jindan sixth-level monk, but he only got 200,000 merit points.

This made him really ache.

But it is related to the refinement of the Daoist's natal magic weapon, no matter how painful he is, he can't delay this matter, so he can only endure the pain and nod his head at the moment: "Junior is sure."

"In this case, the old Taoist will help you post the news on the Zongmen and Dao League's [Wind Media List], and when there is news, someone will notify you."

After Master Qingyang finished speaking, he waved his hands and said, "If you have nothing else to do, you can go back."

Hearing this, Zhou Yang quickly cupped his hands and saluted, "Senior, let me tell you, this junior wants to ask senior about something."

Then he explained the problems he encountered in practicing the "Canglong Body Refining Art".

"According to what you said, the problem should not be caused by the practice method, but by other reasons."

Master Qingyang listened to Zhou Yang's words, thought for a while, and then expressed his opinion.

"The junior also thinks this is the case, but I can't figure out why this is so. The method of practicing supernatural powers is obtained by the junior from a magic weapon. It stands to reason that since the senior left the method of practicing supernatural powers on the magic weapon Fa, it is impossible to make a fuss and leave some hidden hands to embarrass future generations!"

Zhou Yang repeatedly nodded in agreement, and then expressed his confusion with a troubled face.

Master Qingyang heard this, but his eyes moved, as if thinking of something, he looked at him and said: "The old Taoist may understand what's going on, you take out that magic weapon and show the old Taoist."

If other Nascent Soul stage monks said so, Zhou Yang might still hesitate, after all, the beast-mask-patterned dragon cauldron was a sixth-order middle-grade magic weapon that had been appraised by Lu Xuanji.

But when Master Qingyang said this, Zhou Yang was not worried about any problems at all, so he happily took out the dragon cauldron with beast-mask pattern.

Master Qingyang took the magic weapon in his hand and inspected it, then put down the magic weapon, nodded to him as expected, and said:

"Sure enough, as the old Taoist expected, the reason why your practice of this body-refining supernatural power suddenly slowed down was because of the lack of another auxiliary device, and that auxiliary device was this treasure tripod. Helping people to practice supernatural powers is indeed a common method used by those top physical practitioners in ancient times!"

So it all makes sense!

Because the "Canglong Body Refining Art" needs to use this beast-face patterned dragon cauldron if it wants to practice beyond the fourth level, so the monk who left behind this supernatural power will engrave it inside the treasure tripod.

And any immortal cultivator who obtains this precious tripod will definitely not put down such a sixth-order middle-grade magic weapon and refuse to sacrifice it.

As long as someone sacrificially refined this treasured tripod, they would naturally be able to understand the inside story.

It's just that the cultivator who left behind the "Canglong Body Refining Art" probably never thought that Zhou Yang had never sacrificed this sixth-level middle-grade magic weapon because of his insufficient cultivation.

By coincidence, he cultivated in the mid-stage of the golden core, and obtained a large amount of high-quality sixth-level flood dragon spirit blood, easily practiced the "Canglong Body Refining Art" to the third level, and began to attack the fourth level.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yang couldn't laugh or cry. It was a mistake for him to cultivate his feelings too quickly.

Shaking his head, he didn't think about such troubles of happiness. He looked at Master Qingyang directly and asked: "Senior Qingyang, this junior knows that the secret arts of the Xuanyang Immortal Sect are as vast and numerous as the sea of ​​stars. I don't know if there is a secret technique that allows this junior to refine this treasure now?"

"Of course there are such secret techniques, but the old way is probably not suitable for you, because although such secret techniques can allow you to sacrifice this treasure tripod, with your current mana, it is probably impossible to motivate the treasure tripod to help you practice , so it’s better to concentrate on improving your cultivation, and then consider this issue after you raise your cultivation to the late Golden Core stage.”

Master Qingyang nodded first, then shook his head, and expressed his opinions and suggestions in a deep voice.

Zhou Yang didn't listen to his suggestion this time, but said with a firm face: "It's okay, you have to try it to know, and even if the younger generation has reached the late stage of Jindan, under normal circumstances, it is impossible to sacrifice and use this thing." Yes, unless you have cultivated to the ninth level of the Golden Core, but that would have to wait hundreds of years!"

"Since you insist on this, the old Taoist will not force you. Here are three treasure refining secrets recorded in our sect. You can choose one yourself!"

Master Qingyang said, pointing his hand towards Zhou Yang, and entered the relevant information of the three treasure-alchemy secret techniques into Zhou Yang's mind.

This method of Yuanshen transmission is also the exclusive method of Yuanying stage monks, which directly saves the time for both parties to copy and read, which is very convenient.

"The junior has decided, so choose this [Blood Soul Sacrifice Artifact]."

After Zhou Yang analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of the three treasure refining techniques in his mind, he quickly made a choice aloud.

"Okay, then you remember it."

Master Qingyang said, and pointed at him intently again, and continued to use the method of the primordial spirit to pass on the method of using the "Blood Soul Sacrifice Artifact" to him in its entirety.

After he memorized this secret technique, he heard Master Qingyang say: "This secret technique is worth 50,000 sect merits, but now you still have 100,000 sect merits left, but you still have to pay for it." where to spend it?"

"Then give this junior another [Purple Heart Chalcedony]!"

Zhou Yang pondered for a moment before making a decision.

"Alright, the sect exchange price for a copy of [Purple Heart Chalcedony] happens to be 100,000 meritorious value. You can go back to Xuanyang Pavilion and ask Nephew Sun to collect it. The old Taoist will greet him well."

Therefore, the 200,000 Xuanyang Immortal Sect Merit Points obtained by Zhou Yang for killing the monks of the Qi family were all spent in one fell swoop.

He quickly left the "Qingyang Cave", and together with Xu Zhengyang, who was still waiting outside Xuanyang Peak, went to Zhengyang Peak where he practiced.

At this time, Li Yuhe, Xu Zhengyang's Taoist companion, had already passed away, and Zhengyang Peak seemed a bit empty without its mistress.

"Xu took twelve apprentices in his life, but only four of them are still alive. Except for one who died accidentally, the rest of them died because of exhaustion of their lifespan!"

"If Xu didn't have any feelings about the disciples' sitting, then Yuhe's sitting made Xu feel the same, and began to be extremely afraid of death."

"Xu has lived for more than 800 years. This is a lifespan that ordinary mortals and low-level monks can't live in. But Xu still feels that he has not lived enough and wants to live longer!"

"It's just that if the golden core stage monks want to live longer, there are no more than two ways. One is to transform into a core and form a baby. After forming a Yuanying, the natural life span will be extended to three thousand years, and you can live happily for thousands of years; It is to take those life-prolonging treasures, and use the power of these treasures to prolong life."

"The first road, Xu is working hard, but Xu has just broken through to the eighth level of the Golden Core, and he dare not say that he is 100% sure whether he can break through to the ninth level of the Golden Core in less than two hundred years. , let alone transforming pills into infants during this period of time."

"Thus, Xu wants to go two ways at the same time, first prolong life by looking for the treasure of life extension, and then plot the matter of transforming the pill to form a baby!"

"And this time I invited Fellow Daoist Zhou to come here, because Xu wants to ask Fellow Daoist Zhou to help me and go with Xu to deal with a fifth-rank top-grade monster [Frost Wolf King] and capture the life-extending spiritual object [Crystal Ice Orchid] that is guarded by it. 】."

On Zhengyang Peak, after Xu Zhengyang brewed a cup of spiritual tea for Zhou Yang, he slowly explained the reason why he came here this time in a low tone.

He had helped Zhou Yang a lot in the past, and when Zhou Yang hadn't formed a pill, he also said that he would be rewarded in the future.

Now that Zhou Yang has formed a golden elixir, he is beginning to emerge. As an investor, he will of course start to reap rewards.

Zhou Yang didn't think there was anything wrong with this. If he was Xu Zhengyang, he would definitely not let his useless coolie go, and then ask others for help.

Therefore, after pondering for a while, he nodded and said, "Of course it's no problem for the junior to help, but I don't know when Senior Xu plans to leave?"

When Xu Zhengyang heard what he said, he immediately said: "If you don't have anything urgent to do, Fellow Daoist Zhou, we can start now. If we go and return quickly, we will be back in a year or two at most."

"There is no urgent matter, but the junior needs to inform the Taoist companion and disciples first, lest they worry about not being able to contact the junior."

"It should be, Zhou Daoyou just do it."

Therefore, Zhou Yang immediately went to Xuanyang Pavilion, first received the "Purple Heart Chalcedony" promised by Master Qingyang, and then used the information channel of Xuanyang Xianzong to report the news that he and Xu Zhengyang were away on business. Inform Taoist Companion Xiao Ying, let her stay at Chongxuan Mountain and wait for her to go back.

After doing all this, he followed Xu Zhengyang and left Daoxuan Kingdom, heading north all the way to the boundless snowfield at the northernmost end of the Immortal Cultivation World in Liuyunzhou.

The Boundless Snowfield is also a dangerous place similar to the Duanyun Mountains. It is the territory of the Snowfield Monster Clan. If one can cross the Boundless Snowfield, one can reach the world of cultivating immortals in Beitingzhou.

But this is very difficult, even more difficult than crossing the Broken Cloud Mountain Range.

Although Duanyun Mountain is dangerous, at least for Nascent Soul stage monks, it is not difficult to climb over.

But the Boundless Snowfield is different.

In the depths of the boundless snowfield, there are not only monster kings of the sixth rank who are at the same level as monks in the Nascent Soul stage, but also a kind of alien called "Frozen People".

This "Frozen Man" looks similar to a human cultivator, but his blood is cold, and the Frozen Man is born to cast some small spells such as ice bomb and ice arrow, which is obviously not something that ordinary people of the human race can do. Possession of power.

The Bingyi people are distributed in the vast and boundless snowfield in tribes, and even the extreme northern icefield in the north of the world of cultivating immortals in Beitingzhou has their tribe settled down.

In terms of overall strength, the Bingyi people are probably the most powerful alien race in the "Spiritual Realm", not even inferior to the human monks in the entire Liuyunzhou Immortal Cultivation World.

And just like the alien races in the wild forest would prevent the human monks from establishing communication with the Tiannan continent's immortal world through the wild forest, the Frozen people would also attack and kill the human monks who crossed the boundless snowfield.

In the boundless snowfield, the Frozen people occupy a huge geographical advantage, and it is very difficult for human monks of the same level to defeat them.

Because of the hindrance of these Frozen people, and the fact that the "Nine Heavens Gang Wind" over the Boundless Snowfield is stronger and more violent than other places, it is difficult for ordinary Nascent Soul stage monks to pass through the Boundless Snowfield to the world of cultivating immortals in Beitingzhou.

Only a "half-step true immortal" at the ninth level of the Nascent Soul like Lu Xuanji, or some monks in the middle and late stages of the Nascent Soul with outstanding strength, can try to travel across the boundless snowfield to the world of cultivating immortals in Beitingzhou.

Fortunately, the Bingyi people only live in the depths of the boundless snowfield, and the periphery of the boundless snowfield near Liuyunzhou's immortal cultivation world is the territory of the snowfield monster clan, and there are many snowfield monster clan living on it.

And the target of Xu Zhengyang and Zhou Yang's trip, the fifth-rank high-grade monster beast "Frost Wolf King", is the king of a snowfield monster clan "Frost Giant Wolf".

It is also a fifth-rank top-grade monster, and the king of a group like the "Frost Wolf King" is of course much more difficult to deal with than those Lone Ranger monsters.

Its spouse is a fifth-level middle-grade monster, and there are twenty or thirty subordinates of the fourth-level monster, many of which are its descendants, and there are hundreds of third-level "Frost Giant Wolf" younger brothers.

Such a "Frost Wolf King", even a Jindan ninth-level monk, would not dare to say that he could win if he met him, so it was no wonder that Xu Zhengyang asked Zhou Yang for help.

The two set out from Xuanyang Immortal Sect and flew nearly two million miles all the way. It took nearly three months before they arrived at the boundless snowfield at the northernmost end of the Immortal Cultivation World in Liuyunzhou.

When Zhou Yang was in the Kunxu Realm, he had also been to the Cold Wind Plain, which was similar to the environment of the Boundless Snowfield, and it was much harsher than the surrounding environment of the Boundless Snowfield.

However, the boundless snowfield also has its unique features, that is, the snowfield is covered with forests of various types of hardy trees such as cedars and snow shirts. In the forests are inhabited ice bears, reindeer, snow foxes, snow rabbits, ferrets, etc. Hardy animals.

The group of "Frost Wolves" feed on the animals that live in these forests, and their lairs are usually located in the ice caves on the edge of the forest.

"From here to the north, after going deep into the snowfield for 170,000 miles, you will arrive at the habitat of the group of [Frost Giant Wolves]. On the next road, Fellow Daoist Zhou must follow Xu closely, either by flying or on foot, and you must not fly indiscriminately. To avoid provoking those fifth-order monsters along the way who have a strong sense of territory."

Over the vast snow field, Zhou Yang and Xu Zhengyang, who had been on the road for several months, stopped in midair. Then Xu Zhengyang pointed to the white snow field ahead, and explained to Zhou Yang the precautions on the road with a serious face.

Their goal is only the "Frost Wolf King". If they provoke other fifth-level monsters along the way, not only will they waste time, but they may even attract the siege of many fifth-level monsters on the snow field.

Although these snowfield monster races are not as united as those in the Broken Cloud Mountain Range, it is easy to reach a consensus on the treatment of human monks.

"Senior Xu, don't worry, this junior understands what to do."

Immediately there are 2 million words, maybe this is really a hurdle, sitting for a day, and only wrote 6,000 words, I am stunned! Adding this chapter, I just updated 94,000 words this week, and I will try to get another chapter of it during the day tomorrow to make up 100,000 words! In addition, the plot seems a bit messy recently, and some book lovers may feel that they can't understand what was written. Let me tell you here, in fact, the main line is to upgrade, refine supernatural powers, and conceive a baby. The upgrade of this book is actually very simple for me to write, it’s all about taking drugs, but if you always write about the kind of plot where the protagonist has practiced in seclusion for many years, and his cultivation has broken through to a few levels of Jindan, it will be too boring, so practice supernatural powers, refine Magical artifacts, looking for auxiliary infant treasures, these plots have to be mixed to adjust, so as not to be boring! Well, for readers who follow updates every day, it may be very uncomfortable. If you are really uncomfortable, I have no problem raising it. It’s best to watch it in a week. Just don’t raise it to death (囧)
