Cultivation Begins From The Desert

Both Wang Botong and his Taoist companion died on Cuiyun Mountain. This incident aroused the anger of the [Six Dao League] executives. As the landlord, Wanhua Valley directly dispatched a Nascent Soul Stage monk to investigate the matter.

However, Zhou Yang has [Illusory Cloak] to imitate the aura of other people, and he also has the restrained aura of "Hiding Dragon Avoiding Tribulation Art", plus the disguise mask that Lu Xuanji gave him at the beginning, as long as he doesn't directly face to face with the Nascent Soul cultivator, he can basically You don't have to worry about being found out about your true identity.

Therefore, the huge momentum of [Six Paths League] could only become a show for others to watch, and it didn't hurt Zhou Yang a single hair.

He went around in a big circle, and it took him more than two months to return to the territory of Yuqing Daozong. He handed over the corpses of Wang Botong and his wife to Master Yulong, and at the same time returned the [Illusory Cloak].

And by this time, the second of the three battlefields of [Xuanqing Daomeng] and [Six Daomeng] had also been divided.

In the end, [Xuanqing Daomeng] kept its original territory and did not let the monks of [Six Daomeng] take advantage of it, but it is impossible to claim war compensation like the battlefield in Changguo.

So Zhou Yang, who returned the mission, was immediately assigned to go to the last battlefield to support the mission.

Half a year later, after mediation by external forces, the war between [Six Dao League] and [Xuanqing Dao League] came to an end for the time being.

There is no winner in this war!

Because the war took place within the territory of the [Xuanqing Daomeng], even if those important places were finally defended and the fallen territory was regained after the war, it would take countless years for the [Xuanqing Daomeng] to lose personnel and supplies. Add it back.

As an invader, the [Six Dao League] not only failed to meet the war expectations and occupied a large area of ​​the [Xuanqing Dao League], but also successively lost more than 30 Golden Core Stage monks, more than 200 Zifu monks and more than 7,000 Foundation Establishment monks. , is also seriously injured.

Not to mention, on the battlefield of the Kingdom of Chang, in order to protect the tens of thousands of monks there, they also promised a war compensation of up to 200 million spirit stones.

These losses, the [Six Dao League] side will not know how many years it will take to fully make up for it.

And after the [Six Dao League] and [Xuanqing Dao League] ceased fighting, the forces that took advantage of the fire, such as Yushouzong, Jiuyang Sect, Yinxuanzong, etc., also retracted their exposed heads one after another, and did not dare to fight with [Xuanqing Daomeng] again. ] Continue to fight.

Of course, because of the containment of [Six Dao League], and the fact that these looters themselves have also entered into an offensive and defensive alliance agreement, the [Xuanqing Dao League] who has just experienced a big battle can't fight back, so it can only temporarily write down this account. for future revenge.

When the war is over, it is time to formally reward meritorious deeds.

This is also the link that Zhou Yang is most looking forward to.

In this war that didn't last too long, his contribution is definitely the only one among the Golden Core stage monks.

[Six Dao League] Of the more than 30 golden core stage monks who fell, a third of them were related to him. They either died directly at his hands, or he was involved in it.

"During this battle, you successively killed ten monks at the [Six Dao League] Golden Core stage, including two monks at the seventh level of Golden Core, one monk at the sixth level of Golden Core, three monks at the fifth level of Golden Core, and four monks at the fourth level of Golden Core. Two people, two golden core three-level monks."

"According to the regulations of the Taoist League, killing an enemy Jindan third-level monk can get 250,000 merit points, killing a Jindan fourth-level monk can get 400,000 merit points, and killing a Jindan fifth-level monk You can get 450,000 merit points, you can get 500,000 merit points for killing a Jindan sixth-level monk, and you can get 800,000 merit points for killing a Jindan seventh-level monk!"

"In this case, you will have 4.55 million merit points just for killing the enemy!"

Inside the Qiantianzong Mountain Gate in the Kingdom of Chang, the real Yulong, who registered as a reward for the monks in the Kingdom of Chang, was also given the number by the number he said when he counted meritorious service for him in front of Zhou Yang. Xiao Xiao was shocked.

4.55 million merit points, this is definitely an astronomical amount of merit points, at least for Jindan stage monks.

However, Zhou Yang's feats for killing the enemy still did not include Wang Botong and his wife who killed him, otherwise there would be more!

Reverend Yulong couldn't help recalling the recent wars between [Xuanqing Daomeng] and [Six Daomeng], and then found out in astonishment that, going back five thousand years, no Golden Core cultivator was able to win the Zhou Dynasty in a single war. Yang's meritorious deeds for killing enemies.

The first person in five thousand years!

This is the record that Zhou Yang created in this war!

Master Yulong's eyes and eyebrows trembled, and he couldn't help but take a deep look at Zhou Yang, and then continued:

"Originally, in addition to the Golden Core Stage monks you killed yourself, there were five other records of assisting other monks to kill the enemy Golden Core Stage monks, but because when you killed those Golden Core Stage monks, there were other monks present to help , so the two phases are offset, and the meritorious value obtained from assists is no longer calculated."

"Finally, you rescued the Suyun Sect and rushed to the Beixuan Kingdom battlefield, each with 200,000 merit points and 100,000 merit points as additional rewards, and your Taoist companion Xiao Ying treated many wounded and saved the lives of hundreds of monks from the Taoist League. There are also 350,000 merit points converted into success, and according to her own wishes, the merit points will be transferred to you for calculation."

"So, the total merit value you have obtained in this war is 5.2 million!"

After talking about the final total number of meritorious service points, Master Yulong couldn't help but bowed his head and fell into deep thought.

He was thinking about what kind of treasures he could exchange for so many merit points.

In order to encourage the monks in the Dao League to fight bravely on the battlefield, every time there is a war, the two top sects of Xuanyang Xianzong and Yuqing Daozong will open the treasure house of the sect and present some real good things to reward the meritorious ministers.

Reverend Yulong now has a complete list of treasures in his hand. He recalled the items on the list of treasures in his hand, and found that Zhou Yang's meritorious service value, if used to exchange for the Foundation Establishment Pill, would be calculated according to the 12,000 meritorious value of each Foundation Establishment Pill. It can be exchanged for at least four hundred Foundation Establishment Pills.

If it is used to exchange for [Purple Heart Chalcedony], based on one [Purple Heart Chalcedony] 150,000 merit points, it can be exchanged for 34 [Purple Heart Chalcedony], leaving 100,000 merit points.

And if it is used to exchange for [Jade Liquid Golden Elixir], based on the calculation of 800,000 merit points for one [Jade Liquid Golden Elixir], it can be exchanged for six copies of [Jade Liquid Golden Elixir], leaving 500,000 merit points .

Thinking of this, Master Yulong began to feel a little headache.

The reason for his headache is very simple. If Zhou Yang asks to exchange the above items, with the merit points he owns, most of the items used by the Daoist League this time will be exchanged by him. What else do other people change?

Thinking of this, the two of them were embarrassed. Before he asked Zhou Yang what treasure he wanted to exchange for, he had to inoculate Zhou Yang in advance and said, "Little friend Zhou, the old man might as well tell you clearly, the Taoist League will use it to reward you this time." [Jade Liquid Gold Pill] and other items are limited in quantity, if you choose to exchange these treasures, you can only approve half of your merit points to exchange for, do you understand what this old man means?"

Of course Zhou Yang understood what Master Yulong meant, but that didn't mean he would agree so easily.

I saw him said with a troubled face: "Senior Yulong means that this junior naturally understands, but other people's sacrifices are sacrifices, and these meritorious deeds of this junior are also exchanged with life. Now you have imposed such a restriction on this junior, it is somewhat against the rules! "

"Don't use this to fool the old man. How can the old man know your strength? Besides, if you don't impose this restriction on you, you will really break the rules and cause public anger!"

Reverend Yulong rolled his eyes and gave him an annoyed look, blocking his desire to take advantage of the opportunity.

Zhou Yang couldn't help smiling when he saw this, knowing that there was nothing to be done, he immediately nodded and said: "Since Senior Yulong said so, this junior will naturally not disrespect you, so I will do as you said senior."

"Then it's settled. This is the list of treasures that you can exchange. You can see which treasures you want to exchange."

Master Yulong said, and with a wave of his hand, he threw a jade slip to Zhou Yang.

Zhou Yang took the jade slip, and his spiritual consciousness penetrated into it. He saw that there were various types of treasures that could be exchanged, which really covered all aspects.

From the most basic alchemy array, to spiritual beast eggs, spiritual materials, spiritual veins of spiritual mountains, advanced exercises, fifth-order alchemy formulas, magical cultivation methods and other treasures, there are everything.

What's more, Zhou Yang also saw various entrustments of human favors, such as asking a fifth-level high-grade weapon refining master to help refine a fifth-level magic weapon. For rank, you only need to pay merit points ranging from 50,000 to 100,000.

In addition to the favor entrustment of asking for help in refining tools and alchemy, and making talisman formations, there is also the favor entrustment of asking for help in the battle.

Inviting a monk at the seventh level of the Golden Core to make a move requires paying 200,000 merit points. If you invite a monk at the ninth level of the Golden Core to make a move, you will get 500,000 merit points. Merit points are the minimum requirement.

What do you want?

Zhou Yang had thought about this many times before coming to see the real Yulong.

So at this time, he was not fascinated by those dazzling treasures, and directly chose two copies of [Jade Liquid Golden Elixir], and then chose ten copies of [Purple Heart Chalcedony], which was spent. 3.1 million merit points.

Then he chose three fifth-level alchemy formulas, which were prepared for Taoist companion Xiao Ying, and spent a total of 1.6 million merit points.

In this way, he only has 500,000 merit points left.

For the last 500,000 merit points, Zhou Yang exchanged for himself a fifth-order top-grade elixir [Purple Sun Treasure Pill] that can be used to help him break through the later stage of Jindan in the future.

"The junior has already chosen, the senior can see if it is feasible?"

Zhou Yang handed the jade slip back to Master Yulong, and told his choice.

"Okay, that's it, the old man will summon someone to deliver what you want."

Master Yulong pondered for a moment, then nodded readily, agreeing.

Five days later, all the things Zhou Yang wanted were sent to Qian Tianzong by a special person, and then handed over to him by Master Yulong.

When handing over the things to him, Master Yulong suddenly looked at him thoughtlessly and said: "Five years later, Yujing City will hold a big auction, and at the same time, various high-level monk exchange meetings will be held. , if you are free at that time, you might as well go over and have a look, maybe you will gain something!"

Zhou Yang was slightly taken aback, then nodded thoughtfully and said: "This junior understands, and this junior will definitely go to participate in this grand event."

Master Yulong saw that he had understood what he meant, so he stopped talking, didn't say anything more, just waved his hand and said: "Okay, if there is nothing else, you'd better go back to Chongxuan Mountain to sit in the town as soon as possible, Zongmen A fifth-rank top-rank formation mage has been sent to help you rearrange the [Five Elements Guiyuan Formation], and it should arrive in a few days."

"Thank you, senior, and this junior will leave."

Zhou Yang saluted, Dang even took his leave, and then directly returned to Chongxuan Mountain with his Taoist companion Xiao Ying and a group of disciples.

A few days later, the fifth-rank top-rank formation mage mentioned by Master Yulong really rushed to Chongxuan Mountain with the formation materials, and then spent about a month on the basis of the old formation and according to Zhou Yang's personal requirements. , rearranged the [Five Elements Guiyuan Formation], a fifth-level top-grade mountain guard formation, for him.

After the array was set up, the rebuilding of Chongxuan Mountain began in earnest.

Most of the original buildings on the mountain were damaged in that battle and needed to be rebuilt by the disciples of Chongxuan Mountain.

The spiritual field and medicine field on the mountain have also turned into a piece of white land, which can only be replanted.

Compared to these, Zhou Yang’s original cave residence was not damaged at all, but the inside is now bare, and even a mouse would not patronize it. I don’t know if it was because the monks of the [Six Dao League] deliberately disgusted him when they withdrew. Even those jade tables and stone benches were removed.

Zhou Yang didn't need to do these reconstruction work himself, it would be better to leave it to Ye Yunshan and other disciples.

After the mountain protection array was rebuilt, he returned to the cave and tidied up his belongings.

There are a lot of things on him, all kinds of things, and what he needs to do is to pick out those things that can be used or may be used for backup.

Then pick out the things that are not needed, and then deal with them in those fairy cities.

The first is the magic weapon. The fifth-order magic weapon that Zhou Yang uses for himself is [Qianyang Orb], [Qianyang Golden Pagoda], [Suppressing Sky Canglong Cauldron], [Yanlong Shield], [Taiyin Zanpakutao], 【Fire Sun Burning Spear】, 【Soul-stealing Orb】, 【Shocking Gong】, 【Shocking Sword】, 【Thunderbolt Golden Light Shensuo】, 【Lion Fire Ruyi】, 【Mountain Seal】, 【Bing Huo Lei bottle】.

In addition, the fourth-order magic weapons he used when he was cultivating in the Zifu period, such as [Thousand Blade Disk], [Da Yan Shen Light Sword], [Lihuo Suzaku Furnace], [Spiritual Rhinoceros Jade Pendant], etc., are now also available. It's still on me, it hasn't been dealt with.

This time sorting out the magical artifacts, Zhou Yang picked out four fifth-level magical artifacts [Lion Fire Ruyi], [Yishanyin], [Binghuo Thunder Bottle], and [Jinghong Sword], and prepared to fight with those who he didn't use. The instruments on it are dealt with together.

These instruments that need to be dealt with add up to more than twenty pieces, all of which are fifth-order instruments.

Then there are the talismans and elixir. In addition to the talismans and elixir that he could use, Zhou Yang cleared out more than ten fifth-tier talismans and dozens of fourth-tier talismans, as well as dozens of fourth-tier elixir that he couldn't use.

He will not sell these talismans and panacea, but will put them in the Zhou family's treasury and leave them for the younger monks of the Zhou family to use.

Then there are all kinds of spiritual materials. There are actually many precious spiritual materials on him, such as [True Sun Gold], [Holy Infant Fruit], sixth-level top-grade monster fire phoenix feathers, sixth-level dragon spirit blood, [Demon Blood] Gu Lian] Lotus seeds, fifth-level demon pills, fifth-level savage beast hearts, Gengjin, thunder crystals, etc. These are all spiritual things that he can use in the future.

As for some unused fifth-order and fourth-order spiritual objects, Zhou Yang selected those that were not easy to preserve for a long time, and planned to dispose of them together with those magic weapons at the auction and exchange meeting in Yujing City five years later. .

There are also some special treasures, such as [Kunxu Order], [Great Teleportation Order], [Xuanyang Order], [Ling Zhi Tu], [Yunshen Card], [Fairy Lingyu Book], [Invisible Ice Staff] ] and other things, he has always carried these treasures with him, and they might be able to play a role at some point.

Finally, there are spirit stones. After finishing sorting, Zhou Yang found that the number of high-grade spirit stones on his body has reached 234 pieces, and there are also 6.3 million low-grade spirit stones (most of them are middle-grade spirit stones).

What a huge fortune this is!

When Zhou Yang finished counting all the things on his body, he opened his mouth in shock and was speechless for a long time.

He doesn't know how much the Nascent Soul Stage monks are worth, but he believes that with his current net worth, within the Golden Core Stage, absolutely no one can be richer than himself.

There are many treasures on his body, and even the Nascent Soul Stage monks would salivate when they were taken out, and shot at him regardless of face.

And these things were accumulated one by one during his nearly four hundred years of cultivating immortals, and many of the treasures were obtained only after he experienced life and death dangers.

"Have I become so rich before I knew it?"

"It's such a good feeling to be rich!"

Zhou Yang's wide mouth gradually closed, and a cheerful expression appeared on his face from the bottom of his heart.

Of course, the wealth is not revealed, Zhou Yang is just secretly happy in the cave, he will not announce to the whole world carelessly that he is the "richest man" among the golden core monks.

That way, maybe one day when he goes out, he will encounter sanctions from higher-level monks and be directly harvested by others.

However, in order to share his joy, and to reward those disciples who performed well in the war, Zhou Yang generously took out some treasures to reward these people.

Just when he was sorting out the sundries on his body, he discovered that he had obtained a lot of monster eggs during his trip to the wild jungle last time, so he simply distributed a third-level monster egg to each of his disciples. Ying's official disciples even got a fourth-order monster egg.

Just like that, he still had twenty or thirty monster eggs left in his hand.

Just at this time, Taoist Xiao Ying responded to the problem of shortage of manpower. Because of this war, most of the registered disciples in the Qi training period on Chongxuan Mountain lost more than half, and the monks in the foundation building period also lost several people. Now the remaining monks can no longer After cultivating the many spiritual fields and medicine fields on the mountain.

So he simply used these monster eggs as a reward, and asked Wang Yanzhang to take Ren Fei, Zhou Shengying and other disciples to the surrounding [Xuanqing Dao League] fairy cities and square cities to recruit a new batch of registered disciples for Chongxuan Mountain.

Zhou Yang's requirements for recruiting disciples this time are different from last time. He no longer engages in special talent channels, but only recruits young casual cultivators or small family monks with excellent aptitude and conduct.

Now it is different from before, now Chongxuan Mountain is completely owned by him, and the [Six Dao League], which has just suffered a big loss, will not start another war for at least two or three hundred years.

And although he exposed his true identity in this war, because of his great achievements in this war, [Xuanqing Daomeng] has formally included him and his Chongxuan Mountain into the Daomeng and become a member of this super power .

Moreover, Xuanyang Immortal Sect and Yuqing Daozong hired him at the same time as the "Keqing Elder" to help him get rid of the reward on the [Devil Killing List] and protect his foundation from outsiders.

That is to say, even if the Emperor Beast Sect already knew Zhou Yang's identity, during the non-war period, they could no longer send people here to kill him openly, let alone send Yuan Yingqi monks to deal with him, otherwise it would be tantamount to breaking the rules. The entire 【Xuanqing Daomeng】provocation, that kind of consequences are absolutely unwilling to bear by the Beastmaster Sect.

Even when monks from other forces imagined to deal with him because of the wanted order of the Beast Sect, as in the past, they had to think about whether they could bear the revenge of the [Xuanqing Daomeng].

Therefore, with the entire [Xuanqing Daoist League] as a backer, Zhou Yang can truly develop and manage Chongxuan Mountain as a foundation, so that when he recruits disciples again, of course he must give priority to future development.

What's more, if it's just planting spiritual fields and taking care of medicine fields, there is no need to recruit any registered disciples, just recruit a group of handyman disciples who specialize in these things.

On this point, he also agreed with Wang Yanzhang and others who were going to recruit disciples. When recruiting registered disciples, he could also recruit low-level monks with experience in this field to do handy work here.

At this time, Zhou Yang's reputation was already very big. Wang Yanzhang and others used his banner to recruit famous disciples. It is not an exaggeration to say that there are many responders. do it.

Chongxuan Mountain is a fifth-level high-grade spiritual mountain. Without worrying about safety issues, even if you are just a handyman disciple on the mountain, you can see the benefits.

If one day, if you are lucky, you will be caught by Zhou Yang, who is already famous on the mountain, and you will be accepted as a formal disciple, which will be of great benefit to yourself and your family.

So, in less than a year, there were thirty young and immature registered disciples on Chongxuan Mountain, and thirty handyman disciples who mastered the second-level Lingzhifu skills.

According to the usual practice, these newly recruited disciples are still led by Ye Yunshan, Wang Yanzhang and other advanced disciples. Zhou Yang, as the master, will only occasionally give them some pointers when he is free.

Most of the time, Zhou Yang practiced in the cave by himself, including his Taoist companion Xiao Ying.

Xiao Ying has been forming alchemy for several years. Now that she has refined her natal magic weapon, she is concentrating on cultivating a top-notch healing supernatural power [Miaofa Qinghua Fortune Xuanguang] recorded in her own kung fu method "Qinghua Ferrying Evil Scripture".

This supernatural power fully captures the true meaning of Yimu's vitality and good fortune. Once it is successfully cultivated and enters the realm of Xiaocheng, it only needs to be illuminated by the mysterious light to regenerate people's severed limbs and turn the crisis into safety.

When Xiao Ying treated the injured monks in this war, because she treated a large number of wounded people, she had really touched the true meaning of "Qinghua's Sutra of Escaping Calamity", a high-level exercise to save people from calamities, so she kept going. After returning to Chongxuan Mountain, he retreated and practiced the supernatural power of [Miaofa Qinghua Good Fortune Xuanguang].

During this kind of retreat practice, five years passed by in a flash.

Counting the time, Zhou Yang left the customs three months before the big auction and high-level monk exchange meeting in Yujing City, and went to this fairy city directly under the jurisdiction of Yuqing Taoist Sect with many treasures alone.
