Cultivation Begins From The Desert

When Lu Xuewei, the official disciple, came back, Zhou Yang happened to entrust her with the task of teaching the registered disciples on the mountain, but then he went into the retreat room and comprehended the [Sword of Punishing God] presented by Lu Xuewei.

As for Lan Cailian, after Zhou Yang agreed to help her buy auxiliary alchemy spirits, she retreated in a cave on the mountain, preparing to attack the ninth floor of the Purple Mansion.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it will be ten years of spring and autumn.

Ten years have passed, and Zhou Yang finally succeeded in getting started with the practice of [Zhu Shen Jian Jue].

Lan Cailian asked him to purchase the auxiliary alchemy spirits, and he also found two kinds in ten years, namely a "Congealing Alchemy Grass" and a portion of heaven and earth spirit water "Xuanyin Spiritual Water".

After these things were sent to Chongxuan Mountain, they were all directly handed over to Lu Xuewei, and Zhou Yang did not pass them by.

Even Zhou Guangxiang brought several members of the Zhou family to Chongxuan Mountain during this period, but he never saw him. He just went to Xiao Ying to get some "Hidden Spiritual Fragrance" and left by himself.

For the next thirty years, Zhou Yang never left the retreat room. No matter who came to visit, Xiao Ying and Lu Xuewei received him on his behalf.

In the 40th year of retreat, Zhou Yangxiu was successfully promoted to the sixth level of Jindan.

At this time, he had also practiced the "Hidden Dragon Avoiding Tribulation Art" to the level of Xiaocheng, reaching the level that "Tattooed Man Tu" Wu Biao had reached in the past.

The "Hidden Dragon Avoiding Tribulation Art" of Xiaocheng realm, in addition to hiding the body and breath, can also avoid being tracked and locked by various tracking spells.

Zhou Yang took a fancy to the effect of avoiding being tracked and locked by the tracking spell, so he devoted himself to practicing this magical power after decades of practice.

Coincidentally, not long after he cultivated this supernatural power, Zhou Guangxiang, who had traveled to the world of cultivating immortals in Liuyunzhou, asked someone to send a letter for help, asking him to go to his place to help deal with a Jindan stage monk.

It turned out that Zhou Guangxiang had traveled to the world of cultivating immortals in Liuyunzhou for more than 40 years. After covering more than half of the world of cultivating immortals in Liuyunzhou, he finally found a spiritual object [Earth Flower Spirit Milk] that could help him form alchemy during an adventure.

[Earth Blossom Spiritual Milk] is a treasure formed by the essence of the earth. It can be used as an auxiliary alchemy for monks of the earth system, and the effect is not weak.

Zhou Guangxiang found a lot of [Earth Blossom Spiritual Milk], besides his own use, he still had a lot of savings, so he wanted to exchange this thing with others for other spiritual things that can assist in forming alchemy.

It's a pity that he had just exchanged spiritual objects with someone at an exchange meeting. Not long after he left the fairy city, he was intercepted and killed by a Jindan stage monk.

Fortunately, he has the fifth-order puppet beast that Zhou Yang bestowed on him to save his life. Finally, by virtue of this puppet beast, he won a chance to escape for himself. birthday.

However, continuous use of the "Blood Escape Technique" also hurt Zhou Guangxiang's vitality, so now he can only hide in a fairy city to recuperate, and then hire someone to send the news to Chongxuan Mountain, asking Zhou Yang to help find this place.

Zhou Yang received the news, and soon rode the Golden Winged Thunder Eagle to the fairy city where Zhou Guangxiang was located, then restrained his cultivation and entered the city, and saw Zhou Guangxiang who was recovering from his injuries.

I don't know if it's because he hasn't seen him for more than 40 years, or because the "Blood Escape Technique" really hurt his vitality this time, Zhou Guangxiang's face has already shown an obvious old look.

When Zhou Yang saw him, his face was as white as Frost Snow, and his face was raised and wrinkled, looking like a sixty-year-old man among mortals.

"What's going on? How did you lose so much vitality!"

Zhou Yang looked at this nephew with a gloomy expression, with anger rising in his eyes.

"My nephew was severely injured by that guy, and he used the [Blood Escape Technique] three times in a row to escape from that guy's pursuit. Even if he took the panacea made by Aunt Ninth, it would not be able to make up for it in a short time. !"

Zhou Guangxiang talked about the incident with a pale face, and there was a sense of resentment in his eyes.

He originally had less than a hundred years left in his lifespan, but this time he suffered such a severe injury, and he would not be able to recover in the next ten or twenty years of recuperation.

When his body fully recovers, there will only be one chance left to hit the golden core stage.

It is almost impossible for non-spiritual cultivators to succeed in forming alchemy once. How can Zhou Guangxiang not hate the Golden Core stage cultivator who intercepted him.

Of course Zhou Yang felt the nephew's resentment, and knew that words of comfort would not be effective at this time, so he asked directly: "Have you found out the origin of the other party?"

Zhou Guangxiang waited for his words, and Dang Li said bitterly: "That guy is the Jindan patriarch of the Wu family of a great cultivator family. His name is Wu Baitong, and he has the fourth level of Jindan cultivation. In addition to this Wu Baitong, the vassal Xiuxian family under his command also domesticated a fifth-order middle-grade town clan spirit beast [Bilin poisonous python]."

"Oh, is it the Beastmaster Sect again? It seems that our Zhou family and their Beastmaster Sect are really at odds with each other!"

Zhou Yang raised his eyebrows, and the expression on his face suddenly became extremely strange.

All these years, he devoted himself to cultivating on Chongxuan Mountain, and the Emperor Beast Sect didn't bother him, so much so that he almost forgot that he still had such an enemy.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Guangxiang was killed by a vassal monk of the Beast Sect before he and Liang Zi of the Beast Sect were resolved. It seems that this enmity really cannot be resolved.

He pondered for a while, then nodded lightly and said: "I understand the situation. You can't delay the injury on your body. It's better to go back to Chongxuan Mountain to find your ninth aunt for help. I'll let Jinpeng take you back."

After he finished speaking, he paused for a moment, his face suddenly became stern, and he said sharply: "As for the Wu family, since they dared to murder the high-ranking monks of my Zhou family, I will naturally not be able to spare them, Uncle Ninth, and I will definitely take the head of Wu Baitong for you. revenge!"

Hearing this, Zhou Guangxiang fell to his knees in a "plop" of excitement, bowed his head heavily and said, "Nephew, thank Uncle Jiu for his great kindness!"

He never worried about whether Zhou Yang would avenge him, because he knew that Zhou Yang would definitely not sit idly by.

But Zhou Yang's unhesitating decision to fight a life-and-death fight with a monk of the same level for him still moved him.

Next, Zhou Yang took Zhou Guangxiang out of the fairy city, and then released the golden-winged thunder eagle from the spirit beast ring to escort Zhou Guangxiang back to Chongxuan Mountain, while he changed his appearance through a disguise mask, restraining his breath and heading towards the Lingshan of the Wu family rushed over.

As a Jindan family, the Wu family is also a vassal of a top sect like the Royal Beast Sect, so the family power is naturally extremely strong.

In addition to Wu Baitong, a cultivator at the Golden Core stage, and a fifth-tier middle-grade town clan spirit beast [Bird Scale Poisonous Python], the Wu family also has five Zifu stage monks, including a ninth-tier cultivator from the Purple Mansion.

Wu Baitong intercepted and killed Zhou Guangxiang in order to seize the auxiliary alchemy on his body and give it to the ninth floor junior of the Purple Mansion.

At this time, because of the failure to intercept Zhou Guangxiang, and after discovering that Zhou Guangxiang actually possessed a rare treasure such as a fifth-order puppet beast, the old and cunning Wu Baitong already knew that he had provoked a formidable enemy.

So after he returned to the family, he summoned all the high-level monks in the family to the ancestral land of the family to prevent the enemy from coming to retaliate.

The ancestral land of the Wu family is on a fifth-tier middle-grade spirit mountain. Not only is there a fifth-tier middle-grade mountain guarding formation helped by the high-ranking formation masters in the Beast Controlling Sect, but also their town clan spirit beast [Blue Scale Poisonous Python].

In this way, Wu Baitong was still not completely relieved, and quietly contacted a good friend of the Emperor Beast Sect Jindan stage monk, and paid a lot of money to invite him to sit in secret in his ancestral land.

Fortunately, because the matter involved the top sect of the Beast Controlling Sect, Zhou Yang had more foresight, and recklessly killed the Wu family's ancestral land without relying on his own strength.

He went to the Fangshi established by the Wu family in advance. He originally wanted to secretly capture the monks of the Wu family's Zifuqi who were sitting in this Fangshi to inquire about the situation. , immediately realized that the Wu family was ready for the enemy to come.

So he changed his mind and arrested a Wu Family Foundation Establishment cultivator in Fangshi for interrogation.

Under Zhou Yang's threat of "Soul Searching Dafa", this Wu Family Foundation Establishment cultivator had no choice but to accept his "mind-questioning" interrogation honestly.

After interrogating this foundation cultivator and knowing that all the high-level monks of the Wu family had been summoned to the ancestral land, Zhou Yang knew that the ancestral land of the Wu family must have become a den of dragons and tigers at this time. If he went there rashly, he might not be able to get it Good to go.

But Zhou Yang couldn't be bothered, he thought for a while, and thought of a feasible strategy.

I saw that he changed his appearance to a middle-aged man who was 70% similar to Zhou Guangxiang's, then lowered his cultivation level to the fourth level of Jindan, and directly appeared in Wujiafang City.

"Wu Baitong, don't think that you can escape by hiding in your lair. You plotted against my son, and I will settle with you in the future. Today, I will destroy your Wu family's market as interest!"

In Wujiafang City, Zhou Yang, who appeared in shape, yelled loudly, and directly shot and blew up the guardian formation of this Fangshi, and then ejected mana one after another, abolishing the dantians of all Wu Family monks in the Fangshi.

After doing all this, he waved his sleeves and collected all the Lingshi goods in the shops belonging to the Wu family in Fangshi, and left Fangshi directly on the cloud.

From Zhou Yang's sudden appearance to the time he left with a cloud, only half an hour passed.

After his figure completely disappeared without a trace, the surviving unrelated passers-by in the square city just recovered from the shock, and then various discussions spread uncontrollably.

At this time, it has only been half a year since Zhou Guangxiang was attacked. The story of Zhou Guangxiang and Wu Baitong's martial arts battle between two high-ranking monks has long been spread in the nearby world of cultivating immortals, but few people know who the protagonist of the martial arts battle is. .

At this time, through the information revealed by Zhou Yang's loud shout, some people with bright minds immediately guessed the truth of the matter, and then spread it quickly.

But at this time, the monks of the Wu family in Fang City were all abolished by Zhou Yang, and they had no strength to stop such rumors that were detrimental to the family's reputation, and they couldn't even report what happened here to the family.

In the end, it was a foundation-building cultivator of the Wu family who had been abolished. He paid a lot of money to find a foundation-building cultivator in Fangshi who was a good friend of the Wu family and took him back to the ancestral land of the Wu family to report.

A cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage flew with a sword alone, so of course he couldn't get up to speed, so when Wu Baitong learned what happened in Wujiafang City, it was already more than two hours later.

"Fellow Daoist Gongsun, you are the elder of the Beast Controlling Sect, you are well-informed, do you know this person?"

On the Lingshan Mountain of the ancestor of the Wu family, after Wu Baitong sent the people who came to report to go down to recuperate, he found Gongsun Xin, a monk of the Golden Core of the Beast Sect that he had invited to sit in the town, and showed him the portraits drawn by the people who reported the news.

"Fellow Daoist Wu is disappointed. The old man has never seen this person before. I think he is not from the nearby world of cultivating immortals."

Gongsun Xin stared at the face of Zhou Yang after his disguise on the portrait for a while, then shook his head, and gave an answer that disappointed Wu Baitong.

When Wu Baitong heard this, he immediately said with a sullen face: "According to the description of the descendants of Wu's family, this person's cultivation should be at the middle stage of Golden Core, and he may be at the fourth or fifth level of Golden Core like Wu. He has now looted My Wu family's Fangshi has abolished the cultivation of dozens of members of my Wu family, and threatened that these are just interest, which is really annoying!"

What's your annoyance?

Who told you that you didn't do things cleanly, and left the tail of your hand to be caught by others. If it weren't for the demon pill you offered, I wouldn't be bothered to come here to listen to your nonsense!

Gongsun rolled his eyes in confidence, disdainful of Wu Baitong's words.

He understands the cause and effect of the incident. Wu Baitong's intention to kill and seize the treasure is not a big deal in his opinion, but Wu Baitong's killing and seizing the treasure did not kill the target, but instead attracted revenge from the Golden Core cultivator behind the target. A little big.

If it weren't for the fact that Wu Baitong gave him a gift that he couldn't refuse, he wouldn't have come to this troubled water.

But he was short-handed. Hearing Wu Baitong's words at this time, although he was very disdainful in his heart, he still said responsibly on the face: "Since I have already known the appearance of the enemy, it will be easy to handle. The old man can help Wu Daoyou. Hand over Zhang’s portrait to Brother He, who is in charge of intelligence in the sect, and ask Brother He to ask someone to help investigate the origin of this person, and I believe there will be results in a short time.”

Wu Baitong's expression immediately relaxed when he heard his words, he cupped his hands with a smile and said, "With Daoist Gongsun's words, Wu is really relieved."

As the saying goes, there is only a thousand days to be a thief, but there is no thousand days to guard against a thief.

If he has not been able to figure out the identity of the enemy, not only will he dare not leave the family's ancestral land easily, but the middle and high-level monks in the family will also be trapped here and cannot go out.

At that time, there will inevitably be troubles in the various industries of the Wu family, which will affect the operation of the entire family.

But if they figure out the identity and origin of the enemy, then whether it's war or peace, their Wu family can arrange it calmly.

At this time, with Gongsun Xin's guarantee, Wu Baitong was relieved to thank him, and he also said in a timely manner: "Just in case, please ask Gongsun Daoist to continue to help Wu Mou take charge of the family for a while, Wu Mou is going to Fangshi now. Let’s appease people’s hearts and clear up some rumors.”

"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Wu. With this old man around, nothing will happen to the Wu family!"

Gongsun Xin nodded slightly, and accepted the matter proudly.

"Then please, Fellow Daoist Gongsun."

Wu Baitong thanked him again, and left the Wu family's ancestral land with peace of mind.

This time in the past, it was to show off the power and curb those rumors that were not good for the Wu family. Therefore, when Wu Baitong set off, he directly invited out the [Green Scale Venomous Python] domesticated by the Wu family. The giant python flew to Fangshi.

[Green Scale Poisonous Python] is a fifth-order monster, and its flying speed is no slower than that of a Jindan stage monk flying through the clouds. It quickly rushed to Fangshi with Wu Baitong.

At this time, the monks in Fang City had not dispersed, and many monks wanted to know how the Wu family would handle this matter.

When Wu Baitong rode the fifth-rank mid-grade beast [Blind Scale Viper] and landed from the sky to the ground, the middle and low-level monks in the square city were suddenly overwhelmed by the breath of [Berlin Scale Viper]. The monk who criticized Wu Baitong's killing and seizing the treasure was so frightened that his head almost sank into his crotch.

"Old man Wu Baitong, I heard that someone is here to slander this old man's reputation, do you dare to stand up and let this old man have a look?"

[Green Scale Venomous Python] Above the raised snake's head, Wu Baitong stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze coldly scanning the crowd in the square, his voice so cold that it made one's heart tremble.

The name of the Jindan stage monk, coupled with the huge monster body of [Green Scale Poisonous Python], is more than enough to deter a group of middle and low-level monks who don't even have the cultivation base of the Zifu stage.

Seeing this, Wu Baitong couldn't help snorting coldly: "Hmph, what happened today, if I hear anything about..."

He originally wanted to threaten the monks here, not to say what he heard today that was not good for him and the Wu family, but just halfway through his words, he suddenly felt like being struck by lightning, and a scream of "ah" came from [ Green Scale Venomous Python】The head fell to the ground.

Hiss~!

An extremely frightened snake hissed from the mouth of [Green Scale Venomous Python]. This fifth-order python had already sensed the danger from Wu Baitong's attack. Spit out a cloud of emerald green poisonous mist and blow it to all the monks in the square city.

The wisdom of a fifth-order monster is no less than that of a human being. This [Green Scale Poisonous Python] has followed two generations of Jindan monks from the Wu family, and it is even more insidious and clever. It judged the moment Wu Baitong was attacked that the enemy must be hidden. Hidden among the monks in Fang City.

It's a pity that it guessed the result correctly, but it didn't guess the ending correctly.

Zhou Yang really didn't pay attention to a mere fifth-order middle-grade monster.

He used the "Hidden Dragon Avoiding Tribulation Technique" to hide his body and breath in the market, and secretly used the "Sword of Punishing God" to sneak attack and severely injure Wu Baitong's Yuanshen. Then, with a wave of his hand, he shot out a ball of golden real fire, burning the green poisonous mist into green smoke.

Then he used all kinds of means, and in less than a quarter of an hour, he killed both Wu Baitong and [Green Scale Poisonous Python], and then calmly erased the traces of the battlefield, and just now he cut off Wu Baitong's head and left with the spoils.

It was not until more than an hour after Zhou Yang left that Gongsun Xin, who had been galloping all the way after learning from the Wu family that Wu Baitong's soul card had been broken, arrived at Fangshi.

"Who did it? You answer the old man, who did it!"

Staring fixedly at Wu Baitong's headless corpse on the ground, Gongsun Xin waved his hand to wake up the mid- and low-level monks who were stunned by Zhou Yang's loud shout, and asked about the situation with a furious expression.

As a result, it was impossible to ask what the situation was.

Before Zhou Yang made his move, everyone in the square city was stunned by his loud shout before they could see his figure clearly. When Gongsun Xin asked, he didn't know who the murderer was except that Wu Baitong was assassinated by someone.

Of course, he could guess without asking.

Afterwards, Gongsun Xin took Wu Baitong's body and the portrait to the Beastmaster Sect, and asked the intelligence monks from the Beastmaster Sect to help investigate the origin of the person on the portrait.

The result, of course, was that there was no such person.

Since then, Gongsun Xin didn't understand that Wu Baitong and himself were played by the monk who killed Wu Baitong from the beginning to the end.

But at this time, even if he wanted to avenge Wu Bai, he was unable to do so.

In the end, what he could do was to use his rights in the Beast Sect to put the portrait of Zhou Guangxiang obtained from the Wu family monk on a wanted mission, so that the disciples of the Beast Sect would notify him after they found him.

It's just that the effect of this kind of private wanted mission depends entirely on the reward after completing the mission, and how much reward Gongsun Xin can pay for a Wu Baitong who is only a little friendly!

About Gongsun Xin offering a reward to Zhou Guangxiang for Wu Baitong's sake, Zhou Yang also found out about the news from [Xuanqing Daomeng] after returning to Chongxuan Mountain.

He just smiled lightly at this and didn't care.

After Zhou Guangxiang returned to Chongxuan Mountain, he entered a cave to retreat and heal his injuries. Few of the disciples on Chongxuan Mountain had seen him, let alone the disciples of the Beast Controlling Sect.

And the only person who knew that he killed Wu Baitong, besides Zhou Guangxiang, was his Taoist companion Xiao Ying, obviously neither of them would betray him.

"Guangxiang, from now on, you should take good care of your wounds on Chongxuan Mountain. If you plan to form alchemy, remember to tell Uncle Jiu in advance that Uncle Jiu will give you the cave for you to use for alchemy."

On Chongxuan Mountain, Zhou Yang, who returned safely, put Wu Baitong's head and the fifth-order puppet beast recovered from his storage ring in front of Zhou Guangxiang, and softly stated his plan.

"Nephew understands, thank you Uncle Jiu for avenging my nephew!"

Zhou Guangxiang saluted him gratefully, and then directly burned Wu Baitong's head to ashes, which means he understood the enmity.

Watching this scene, Zhou Yang moved his mouth, and finally just nodded lightly and said: "Then you should rest well, Uncle Jiu, I won't bother you to recuperate."

Then he withdrew from Zhou Guangxiang's cave, and threw the body of the [Green Scaled Poisonous Python] to the Golden Winged Thunderhawk and the Colorful Peacock as food.

These two spirit birds like to eat the meat of these long worms, and the meat of a fifth-order monster snake is also a great tonic for them, enough for them to eat for a long time.

"Ying'er, do you think it's a little unreasonable for me to do this? I watched Guangxiang grow up, and he is of my Zhou family's blood. It stands to reason that I should take better care of him!"

In the bedroom of Zhou Yang's cave mansion, Zhou Yang, who had just completed a double cultivation with his Taoist companion, suddenly became sentimental.

There are some things that he can't say to outsiders, but only to people like Xiao Ying who sleep next to him.

Zhou Guangxiang is very pessimistic about the alchemy matter now, so he who had been hesitant to give him the [Jade Liquid Golden Elixir] in his hand has now decided not to let him use it, but is going to leave it to him. My big apprentice Lu Xuewei will use it in the future.

When Xiao Ying heard what he said, she couldn't help stretching out her hands to hug his shoulders tightly, making the two of them stick close together, then buried her head on his chest, and said softly following his words: "【Jade Liquid Golden Pill] was obtained by you fighting desperately on the battlefield, and the right to dispose of it is completely in your hands, so how can you say it is unreasonable?"

"And from a practical point of view, Xuewei's chances of forming alchemy in the future are obviously much higher than Guangxiang's. There is nothing wrong with you leaving [Jade Liquid Golden Elixir] for her to use."

"Finally, husband, you also said that Xuewei's [Zhu Shen Jian Jue] that she presented before has had a great effect on you, but you haven't rewarded her anything yet. This [Jade Liquid Golden Pill] is a reward for her, isn't it? Is it just right?"

"Hey, the palms and backs of the hands are full of meat!"

Zhou Yang let out a long sigh, acquiescing to the Taoist couple's words.
