Cultivation Family: Starting by Taking a Concubine and Practicing the Sun and Moon Sutra

"Daocheng, why are you looking for grandpa?"

"Grandpa Chang Yan, I want you to refine a magical weapon for me!"

Zhou Daocheng expressed his thoughts directly.

He has always used formations as his main means of combat, but he has never had a powerful magic weapon. This is equivalent to a weakness of his and needs to be made up for.

Zhou Changyan is a first-level high-grade weapon refiner. He has devoted his whole life to refining weapons. His skill in weapon refining is superb, so he is naturally a very suitable choice.

Zhou Changyan touched his beard and asked with some surprise: "Daocheng, you are so powerful, haven't you ever had your own magic weapon?"

Zhou Daocheng smiled and said: "There are a few magical weapons that I obtained accidentally, but they are mainly used for defense. I am not particularly suitable for them."

Hearing this, Zhou Changyan nodded and said seriously: "No problem, although my skills are not as good as that guy Daoqi, but there is still no problem in refining a few first-level high-grade magic weapons. What type of magic weapon do you need?" "

Zhou Daocheng thought about it for a while. He had an idea for his own magical weapon. The most important thing was to match his technique.

So he replied: "Earth attribute, one attack and one defense. It is best for the attacking magic weapon to be long-range, and the defensive magic weapon is best to cooperate with the formation."

Zhou Changyan frowned slightly. These requirements were indeed quite troublesome, and they were not something that ordinary first-order high-grade magic weapons could satisfy.

After thinking for a while, he said carefully: "Daocheng, you have a powerful aura and focus on defense, and the combat method is mainly based on formations, without the need for close combat, so as for defensive magic weapons, I think heavy armor magic weapons More appropriate."

"As for the offensive weapons, I suggest mainly using bows and arrows. They are highly lethal and flexible enough to be used in various tactics. What do you think?"

After listening to the opinions, Zhou Daocheng considered it for a moment and found that the two did meet his requirements, so he agreed: "Just refine it according to grandpa's idea. Just ask me for any materials you need."

Zhou Changyi waved his hand and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, I just brought some weapon refining materials this time, which is enough for you to refine the magic weapon. Just come and get it in two months."

Zhou Daocheng was not polite and said: "Then thank you Grandpa Changyan."

"There is no need to say thank you. We are connected by blood, and you are the pillar of my Zhou family, so refining a few magical weapons is of no concern."

Zhou Daocheng also smiled. People of the same clan and clan really don't care much about interests.

Arrangements were made for several members of the Zhou family, including the seven children they brought, to be placed in the underwater cave, just enough to learn weapon refining from the elders.

The four of them, Daoyuan, Daoxiu, Changxi, and Changshu, still live on the island and are taught by Zhou Daocheng himself.

Life returned to calm, Bailin Lake and the valley developed in an orderly manner, and Zhou Daocheng also returned to the underground cave to practice.

He has now reached the peak of the eighth level of Qi refining, and is only one step away from the ninth level of Qi refining. If he can break through as soon as possible, he can also start preparing for foundation building in advance.

However, after returning to the underground cave, Zhou Daocheng took the lead in checking the situation of the spirit-eating ants.

As the most potential combat force in his hand, Zhou Daocheng cared about them very much. Not only did he use the spiritual fertile soil to rebuild their nests, but he also provided a large number of spiritual resources, hoping that they could reproduce as soon as possible.

Arriving at the Spirit Beast Room, the place was completely filled with spiritual fertile soil, and had been built into a home by spirit-eating ants, with large and small caves extending in all directions.

Zhou Daocheng also had a general understanding of the entire ant colony with the help of the spirit-swallowing ant queen.

Through this period of development, the ant colony has regained its vitality slightly, and the first batch of eggs have begun to hatch, but the number is relatively small.

There is nothing that can be done about it. It is very different from ordinary ant colonies. Spirit-devouring ants are spiritual insects, and their reproduction consumes a huge amount of spiritual energy. Therefore, it is difficult for the queen of spirit-devouring ants to produce a large number of ant eggs at one time.

Especially in the early stage, the population is already scarce and unable to supply sufficient spiritual honey, which makes reproduction extremely difficult.

Even though Zhou Daocheng provided artificial spiritual honey, the queen still only laid 20 eggs when the first batch of spirit-swallowing ants hatched.

There are still dozens of days left before full hatching.

Zhou Daocheng entered the ant nest and checked the condition of the 20 ant eggs. He found that the vitality was quite strong, and through the white outer skin, he could see a faint purple breath flowing out from the inside, which should be derived from the innate purple energy.

Zhou Daocheng is also very curious, what changes will happen when the spirit-swallowing ants completely absorb the innate purple energy?

Will it be like Bi Ling Bamboo, which will essentially improve its grade?

Or will it slightly change the characteristics of this spiritual insect?

All in all, the innate purple energy has been integrated into the bloodline of the spirit-swallowing ant queen, but what kind of development it will develop in the future, Zhou Daocheng is still worth looking forward to!

Afterwards, he took out a portion of the spiritual honey again and gave it to the second-order male spirit-swallowing ant, asking him to collect it and use it to replenish energy for the queen ant.

The ant colony is still too small now, and this second-level male spirit-devouring ant is the main laborer. Whether it is collecting spirit honey or guarding the ant nest, she is solely responsible for it.

At first, this second-level male spirit-devouring ant was very wary and showed intention to attack Zhou Daocheng.

However, after being disciplined by the spirit-swallowing ant queen, he has become much docile now and can obey Zhou Daocheng's orders to a certain extent.

After confirming that there was no problem with the ant colony, Zhou Daocheng left the spirit beast room and returned to the training room to practice.

Nowadays, many earth essence grasses are planted in the training room, giving the aura in the air a hint of earth attribute.

Practicing in such an environment can slightly increase his practice speed and warm up his body to a certain extent, with very good results.

However, Zhou Daocheng frowned and opened his eyes after only a few days of practice.

There were too few earth essence grasses, and the earth attribute energy released in the air was too little. After only two or three days of absorption, it was completely absorbed.

Zhou Daocheng deeply felt that with the earth essence grass, his practice speed increased by 20% to 30% in the past few days.

Earth attribute aura has the same effect as earth attribute practice resources, which can increase one's practice speed.

"If you can practice in a rich earth attribute environment all the time, your practice speed will definitely increase significantly, but it's a pity that there are too few earth essence grasses." Zhou Daocheng couldn't help but sigh.

At this moment, an idea suddenly emerged in his mind: Since the earth attribute aura is so important, can we use the formation to artificially create an earth attribute environment?

Zhou Daocheng immediately started looking for a suitable formation.

After searching for a while, he finally found a defensive formation in the first-grade superior formation, named Thick Earth Formation.

The original function of the formation was to use the earth attribute aura to condense a thick defense to resist attacks.

The function is somewhat similar to the Earth Defense Formation, but the effect is better, it consumes more aura, and the defense strength is correspondingly stronger.

Moreover, the inside of the formation is also full of earth attribute aura, which is very suitable for cultivation.

However, the pure "Thick Earth Formation" is not suitable for cultivation, because the earth attribute energy in it is also limited and difficult to maintain for a long time.

However, if the "Thick Earth Formation" can be integrated with the "Gathering Spirit Formation", it can continuously convert all the non-attribute aura into earth attribute aura, thereby supplying the operation of the "Thick Earth Formation".

In this way, not only can an environment suitable for cultivation be created, but the defensive effect of the Thick Earth Formation itself can also greatly improve the safety of the cultivation environment.

The more so, Zhou Daocheng really thinks this method is feasible, so he immediately began to try the formation fusion.

The fusion of the "Thick Earth Formation" and the "Gathering Spirit Formation" was not particularly difficult. After all, the first fusion formation Zhou Daocheng tried was the fusion of the "Earth Defense Formation" and the "Gathering Spirit Formation".

He had already mastered the process!
