Cultivation Begins From The Desert

"Thousands of miles chasing the soul" is not as easy as Zhou Yang imagined. After the ancestor of the Chen family received the blood of the bandits he provided, he still needed to prepare a special altar to cast the spell.

This is also the first time Zhou Yang has heard that to cast spells, one needs to prepare altar materials.

Based on the principle of asking if you don’t understand, after returning to the residence that the Chen family arranged for the three foundation-builder monks of the Zhou family, Zhou Yang was very curious and asked the old patriarch Zhou Minghan about this question.

Not only was he curious about this question, Zhou Xuanhao was also the same. The time for their father and son to build the foundation was still too short. In terms of knowledge, they must not be as strong as Zhou Minghan, a senior foundation-builder who has built the foundation for more than a hundred years.

Moreover, whether the ancestors of the Chen family can succeed is related to whether their Zhou family can get a Foundation Establishment Pill decades later, so they naturally have more reason to care about this matter.

"Xiao Jiu, it's normal if you don't know about this. In fact, many monks don't know that [Thousands of Miles Chasing Soul] is actually not a fourth-level high-level spell, but a real fifth-level spell!"

"However, many years ago, when a senior monk was studying the secret method of the blood sacrifice of the magic way, he discovered that some aspects of this spell could be replaced by the blood sacrifice technique of the magic way, which made it possible for the later monks of the Zifu to use the altar to perform this technique."

"However, the blood sacrifice technique is a sorcery that is strictly prohibited by the immortal way, so the senior monk improved the blood sacrifice technique of the magic way, and created an alternative method that replaced the blood sacrifice technique with a formation altar."

"Casting spells with the help of the formation altar is originally an auxiliary means for high-level monks to cast high-level spells. It is said that the casting time of high-level spells above the fifth level is often recorded in half a quarter of an hour or a quarter of an hour. If there is no formation altar Auxiliary, spells of this level cannot be used in actual combat at all!"

Zhou Minghan looked at the curious Zhou Yang father and son, and slowly told the news he knew.

It is difficult to get access to these news, not for the monks of the Foundation Establishment Stage, and even many casual cultivators of the Foundation Establishment Stage will not be able to get in touch with this news in their entire lives.

The circle of high-ranking monks above the Zifu period is actually relatively closed, especially in places like the Boundless Sand Sea Cultivating World, where it is not very convenient to travel around. It is usually difficult for high-ranking monks to see each other for decades, and even more so. Let alone fighting.

As a result, many low-level immortal cultivators who have never seen these high-level monks fight do not have an intuitive understanding of the high-level monks' fighting skills.

Most people still think that the battles between high-level monks are the same as their fighting skills during the Qi training period and the foundation building period. They all rely on magic weapons and spells to fight against each other, but the magic tools and spells of high-level monks are more advanced. !

In fact, there is a big mistake here. The fighting skills of high-level monks are much more tricky than low-level monks, and they are also wonderful.

After Zhou Minghan gave Zhou Yang and his son a "science popularization" about the situation of high-ranking monks, he finally sighed with emotion to the two:

"The world of cultivating immortals in the boundless sand sea is relatively closed, and the world of cultivating immortals in Baisha River Oasis is even rarer. If you communicate with the foundation-building cultivators in the sect, you will know that the fighting between high-level immortal cultivators is not limited to simple methods such as magic tools and spells!"

When Zhou Yang and Zhou Xuanhao heard his emotional words, they couldn't help but looked at each other, and they both saw a hint of longing in each other's eyes.

Although they only listened to Zhou Minghan's narration of some scenes of high-level monks' fighting skills, the two of them had automatically filled out a lot of things in their minds. If Zhou Minghan's words were true, the fighting scenes between high-level monks still It's fascinating!

Zhou Minghan looked at the pair of father and son with erratic eyes, and didn't know what they were thinking. He immediately waved his hands angrily, interrupted their imaginations and said, "Don't think so much now, and learn more. In the future, there will be more Opportunity, now, Xiao Jiu, go to retreat and refine the panacea that Old Ancestor Chen gave you, the loss of essence and blood is no joke, so don't take it seriously."

Although Zhou Yang was young, he also knew the value of essence and blood. Since Zhou Minghan spoke, he quickly entered a quiet room to retreat.

The "Jade Essence Pill" presented by the ancestor of the Chen family is ranked third-rank low-grade, and it has a miraculous effect in restoring the blood of the monks in the foundation building period. "The lost essence and blood finally made up for it all.

The lost essence and blood made up for it, and Zhou Yang's pale face, like a tuberculosis ghost, finally returned to normal.

However, after he recovered, he didn't leave the customs right away, but sorted out what he had gained from going out this time.

The harvest mainly has two parts, one part is the harvest from the "Thousand Machine Cave" expedition, and the other part comes from the sand bandit in the foundation period who was killed by him with the "Qianyang Tianjian".

In the "Thousand Machines Cave", Zhou Yang got a third-grade low-grade refining cauldron "Phoenix Pattern Purple Gold Cauldron" and several inheritances of secret skills. He didn't have time to refine the magic weapon he just got, let alone comprehend those secret techniques.

At this time, Zhou Yang took out the "Phoenix Pattern Purple Gold Cauldron" from the storage bag, looked at this third-order magic weapon that was shining with inspiration, and couldn't help shaking his head.

This expedition to the "Thousand Machines Cave" also taught him a lesson. If he gets treasures such as magical weapons that can directly increase his combat power in the future, he should sacrifice them as soon as possible.

If Chen Pingzhi hadn't been in a hurry to come back at that time, but had first refined the magic weapon and puppet beast he got in the cave, the final result would have been completely different.

"Phoenix Pattern Purple Gold Cauldron", as a low-grade magic weapon of the third rank, not only can be used for refining weapons, but also has the function of storing the enemy's real fire.

Some foundation-building monks who practice powerful fire-type kung fu often have supernatural powers such as "Sanwei real fire", "Xuanyang real fire" and other real fire supernatural powers.

After Zhou Yangji refined the "Purple Gold Cauldron with Phoenix Pattern", when encountering this kind of cultivator using real fire supernatural powers, he could use magic tools to take away the other party's real fire and temporarily abolish the other party's supernatural powers.

Of course, if the enemy's real fire supernatural power is too strong, such as his "Qianyang real fire" supernatural power with the grade of "Phoenix Pattern Purple Gold Cauldron", it will be difficult to suppress it.

It took Zhou Yang about three days to refine the "Phoenix-patterned Purple Gold Cauldron". After he sacrificed this magic weapon, he had time to search for the storage bag he picked up from the bandits.

This is the first time he has obtained the storage bag of a foundation-building monk. The volume of this storage bag alone is three feet in size. The storage bag that Zhou Yang mainly used before building the foundation has only this volume.

Of course, after he established his foundation, he changed a storage bag with a volume of five feet from the family treasure house, so with the current storage bag, he now has three storage bags with a volume of more than one foot in his hand.

There are not many things in the Sand Bandit storage bag. There are more than 2,000 pieces of spiritual stones in it. , Eighty-ninety percent of these things were snatched from the previous attack on the Baisha River Oasis.

However, this sand bandit obviously does not have a high status among the sand bandits. Last time they ransacked the Baisha River Oasis, at least ten or eight third-order magic weapons were snatched, but when he fought Zhou Yang, only A third-tier low-grade flying sword is available.

The third-tier low-grade flying sword is a fire-attribute flying sword, and Zhou Yang can also use it, but he already has two offensive magic weapons, the "Chixuan Golden Light Sword" and the "Poison Fire Flying Fork", so he doesn't plan to sacrifice these A magic weapon with overlapping functions.

It just so happens that the Zhou family's newly opened "Yuquan Building" still lacks a treasure of the shop, this third-tier low-grade flying sword, which Zhou Yang intends to hang in the building as a treasure of the shop to attract popularity.

He sorted out the things in the Sand Bandit storage bag a little bit, took out all the raw materials that can be used for refining weapons, alchemy, and talismans and put them in a storage bag, and put the finished treasures such as magic tools, magic talismans, and panacea into one storage bag. They were stored in another storage bag, and then those jade slips and books were listed separately and divided into the third category.

As the patriarch of a cultivating family, Zhou Yang deeply knows what is the most important thing for a family. This thing is not some powerful magic weapon, nor some kind of panacea or talisman, but the inheritance of knowledge.

No matter how powerful the magic weapon is, it must have enough strength to use it. No matter how useful the magic pill and magic talisman are, they are also consumables, which can only be used by a few people, and they will be gone when they are used up.

But knowledge can be passed on forever, benefiting everyone in the whole clan.

Therefore, Zhou Yang always paid more attention to all kinds of jade slips that recorded knowledge than to magic tools and elixirs.

With his spiritual consciousness released, he read the jade slips one by one, planning to select these jade slips again, and separate the secret arts and strange records for collection.

But he didn't want to see this, so he saw something that changed his complexion drastically.

He held a white jade slip with a changed expression, and a look of horror flashed in his eyes.

The jade slips record a magical secret technique called "Blood Fiend Demon Knife". Those who practice this secret technique can sacrifice a "Blood Fiend Demon Knife" similar to "Qianyang Tianjian" to cultivate In the body.

However, in order to refine the "Blood Fiend Demon Knife", the monk first needs to have a sufficiently strong "blood fiendish aura".

What is "blood evil spirit"?

The so-called "blood evil spirit" is actually the evil spirit of resentment that a cultivator acquires after killing humans or monsters.

The "blood evil aura" on the general monks is very weak, and as long as they don't kill for a period of time, these "blood evil aura" will dissipate.

Only those immortal cultivators who kill and hunt monsters all the year round will have a strong "blood evil spirit". This kind of people generally have a very unique temperament and are easy to identify.

And according to the secret technique record on the jade slip in Zhou Yang's hand, if a monk wants to condense the "Blood Fiend Demon Knife" into shape, he must kill one hundred thousand mortals or hundreds of immortal cultivators within a year. Just do it!

Killing and practicing kung fu is a typical feature of magic skills!

The Sand Bandit who died under Zhou Yang's hands must have not practiced the "Blood Demon Sword", otherwise he would not have died so easily.

But why did this "Blood Fiend Demon Knife" secret technique appear on him?

When Zhou Yang thought of this, he thought carefully and was terrified.

He couldn't help but think of the blood demon secret technique he had obtained from a bandit during the Qi training period. Is this really just a coincidence?
