Cultivation: When you do things to the extreme

One year later, Dongting Lake.

"came back!"

On a awning boat, Xu Yang stood on the bow, looking at the vast Dongting Lake with nostalgia in his eyes.

A year ago, he refused Bailong Island's solicitation and decisively left that place of right and wrong.

After that, he did not return to Dongting Lake immediately, but went to other places to visit Liang State.

He has appeared in both the secular world and the world of cultivation.

Based on this, he also understood the general situation of Liang State.

First of all, the cultivation world of the Liang Kingdom is dominated by three major Jindan sects, namely Tianshu Sect, Qingyu Sect and Yaowang Valley.

Among them, the Tianshu Sect is the most powerful, and it is the main formation sect, possessing several golden elixirs. It is said that its ancestor has reached the perfection of the golden elixir, and may break through at any time and become the Nascent Soul.

The royal family of the Liang Kingdom are the blood descendants of the founder of the Tianshu Sect. Although the founder has passed away long ago, as long as the inheritance of the Tianshu Sect remains alive, the royal family of the Liang Kingdom will always be the royal family of the Liang Kingdom.

Under the three major sects, there are various foundation-building forces, both strong and weak, but they basically cannot threaten the rule of the three major sects. The competition between them is also fierce. The situation on Bailong Island is normal.

Under the foundation-building force, there is Qi training and casual cultivation, which cannot exist independently, because Qi training cultivators are not qualified and have no ability to occupy the land of spiritual energy.

Qi-training monks who want to practice can only rely on foundation-building forces, join a sect, join a family, or rent caves in the city to earn spiritual stones and maintain their practice, which is very difficult.

While Xu Yang was touring the world of cultivation in a low-key manner, he was also throwing "opportunities" into the mundane world.

He accepted many more disciples, the martial arts scriptures were further spread, and the effectiveness of the teacher's skills was also enhanced.

Of course, there are also hidden dangers in recruiting disciples in this way, that is, it is difficult to guarantee character, and without him day and night, reprimanding and teaching, it is inevitable that some white-eyed wolves with bad conduct will be raised and betray his master.

But it doesn't matter, he uses fake identities and faces. If one layer of his vest falls off, there is another layer. Basically no one can find him, and if they find him, they will just give him food.

After all, all issues are ultimately issues of strength.

His current strength can already support him to do many things.

It is not yet realistic to spread martial arts all over the world, but it is still easy and stress-free to recruit some disciples and teach some martial arts.

Therefore, his actions became bigger and bigger. In addition to those who collected the secrets personally and distributed the secret books, he taught them to thousands of people, and the speed of their cultivation was slightly improved.

In addition to passing on the skills, during this year, he also used Zhuang Zhou Mengdie to study the alchemy master, spiritual plants, beast control and some strange skills obtained from Bailong Island in the Black Water River with ten times the time difference.

Now except for formations, he has basically learned all other skills and inheritances.

I have to say that formations are really difficult to learn.

Even though he has two lifetimes of experience, knowledge of heaven and humans, and "reading" skills, and can never forget what he has seen, draw inferences from one instance, and introduce new ones, it is still very difficult to learn this formation, and he has not been able to master it so far.

This is only the inheritance of the first-level formation. Corresponding to the cultivator's realm of refining Qi, it is replaced by the second-level foundation-building formation, the third-level golden elixir formation, the fourth-level Nascent Soul formation, and the fifth-level god transformation formation. , genius knows how long to study.

But it doesn't matter, he has Zhuang Zhou Mengdie. No matter how mysterious the formation is, he can rely on time to conquer it bit by bit.

Ten times the time difference in the Black Water World is not enough, then switch to other worlds, a thousand times a hundred times, and you will always succeed.

Therefore, he was not in a hurry and wandered around the Black Water while walking in the Liang Kingdom.

In this way, a year passed, and he returned to the familiar Dongting Lake after traveling all over Liang State.

In fact, he has also considered finding a place to settle down in the world of cultivation.

Although he doesn't rely on spiritual energy to practice, it's better than nothing, isn't it?

But in the end, after much thought, he gave up the idea.

Qi practitioners cannot occupy the land of spiritual energy. They can only rely on foundation-building forces and seek refuge in their families or sects.

This is unacceptable to him. He needs a lot of privacy to farm and develop. If he joins a force, he will inevitably be monitored. If he is exposed, it will cause a lot of trouble.

Of course, he can also consider establishing his own force. With his current fighting power, he can compete with the foundation-building monks. If he is willing to fight hard, it is not impossible to occupy a small piece of spiritual land.

But...does that mean anything?

For a small piece of spiritual land, scheming with those foundation-building forces and plotting against each other?

Are you tired?

Xu Yang has a clear self-awareness and action plan.

What he has is not territory at all, but the attribute panel, skill characteristics, Zhuang Zhou Mengdie, and thousands of worlds.

Grasping these things is not more valuable than some spiritual land?

This is just like when he was a fisherman before. Can he only be a fisherman?

No, as long as he wanted to, he could slowly rise without being abnormal, join a gang, and enter a martial arts gym.

But why didn't he do it?

Because the risks are not proportional to the returns.

When you join a gang, you have to deal with the top, but you also have to deal with the bottom, and you have to fight with others from time to time.

Joining a martial arts school and facing disputes in the world are equally precarious.

It is better to be a fisherman. Although he is at the bottom, he is stable and has enough time to practice skills, brush up his characteristics, accumulate strength, and strengthen himself.

In the same way, although the spiritual world is good, there are too many conflicts over various interests, and it is far less comfortable than the ordinary world.

There will definitely not be any base-building people who get crazy and come to compete with him for a piece of mortal territory. At most, some Qi-training monks who want to seize the immortal fate can easily deal with it.

So, he returned to Dongting Lake, the Dongting Lake that belonged to him.

Dongting Lake is still the same Dongting Lake, nothing has changed.

As the boat entered the lake, the clouds covered the fog and the smoke gradually thickened.

Xu Yang, however, was familiar with the road and drove the "black wooden boat" under his feet, heading straight for his home base.

This black wooden boat is also a magic weapon, a top-grade flying escape magic weapon, and is one of the treasures of the Three Evil White Dragons.

He had basically sold all the magic weapons that he had acquired, leaving only the black wooden boat and a Qingluo shirt.

It's not that he doesn't know how to use magic weapons. On the contrary, apart from the "Dou Zi Scroll", there is also a "Bing Zi Scroll" in the martial arts, which specializes in the method of military attack. If there is a magical weapon, its combat power is still above that of the Dou Scroll. .

According to Xu Yang's idea, the development direction of this "Bing Zi Scroll" should belong to the same category as the "Sword Jue" of sword cultivation. Cultivate the sword technique, cultivate the flying sword, and when the sword is drawn out, all methods will be destroyed. Only then can the sword cultivator Style!

Xu Yang has already practiced the "Thunder Technique". If he practices the "Sword Technique" again and combines it into the "Thunder Sword" technique, there will not be many people in the same realm who can stop him.

It's a pity that among those magic weapons, there is no flying sword.

Although it is not a flying sword, the "Bing Zi Scroll" is far more than just swordsmanship, but Xu Yang considered that the Dou Zi Scroll can currently meet the needs of fighting, and cultivation should come first in everything, so he finally sold those magic weapons.

The magic weapon was rafting at an extremely fast speed, and soon the group was back at a familiar place.

Looking at the lonely desert island, Xu Yang breathed a sigh of relief.

The formation is not broken!

It seems that no one has come to the island for more than a year.

The deaths of Zhang Guanghua's five people did not attract any cultivators to investigate?

Are they all orphans?

Or did you see that Zhang Guanghua fell into trouble in the late stage of Qi training, so you didn't dare to come easily?

Xu Yang couldn't tell for sure, but it was always a good thing that his place had not been destroyed.

The black wooden boat glowed with dark light, passing through the illusion of mirror, flowers, water and moon, and the vision immediately became bright.

"I'm back!"

Xu Yang smiled, flew up, shrunk the black wooden boat, and put it into the storage bag.

It is worth mentioning that now he has more than 20 storage bags, large and small, on his body, which is even worse than the Nine-Bag Elder.

There is no other way. After walking for more than a year, it is inevitable to encounter blind people. In addition, the three fierce white dragons and the robbery cultivators have hidden secrets. It is not difficult to think about the storage bag on his body.

One year, full harvest!

Back on the island, Xu Yang smiled and called to the golden eagle following him: "Go and call them all back to me."

"Bah!!!"

After following Xu Yang for a year and receiving many enlightenments, the golden eagle, which had become a monster, cried out and soared into the sky, seeming to announce the return of the king.

Xu Yang shook his head, came to the abandoned fish farm to the west, put away his magical weapon Qingluo shirt, and jumped into the water.

After a while, the lake water was seen boiling, and the strange fish at the beast level and the spirit level led the fish to gather together and return to the fish farm.

The Dragon King gives the order and the fishes return!

Compared with a year ago, these exotic fish have obviously lost a lot of weight, and the number of fish schools has also decreased.

There was no way, for one year, without Xu Yang, the breeding skills could not take effect, and there was no spiritual rice like white corn for feeding. If he stayed in this mortal world with thin vitality, regression would be inevitable.

Fortunately, Xu Yang is back and everything is no longer a problem.

"ha!"

Assigning management and rebuilding the fish farm, Xu Yang chuckled and walked towards the lake again.

Soon, he arrived at a secret place at the bottom of the lake.

Thousands of electric eels gather here, and there is also a golden eel king with flashing electric light.

Seeing his return, the electric eels immediately boiled, and the electric eel king swam over, wrapped around his body and crackled, releasing the grievances of the year, like a child weighing several hundred kilograms and carrying a hundred thousand volts. .

"OK OK!"

Xu Yang smiled, took out a bottle of elixir, and threw it directly to it, and then threw a few bags of white corn from the storage bag: "Eat it, we will plant it after eating!"

After a while, Xu Yang returned to the electric eel farm on the east coast of the island with a group of electric eels.

"Bah!!!"

At this time, the golden eagle also returned with a group of exotic beasts and birds of prey, and Lao Liu and the peacock were among them.

"They're all so thin!"

Looking at the very excited birds, Xu Yang shook his head and threw out a few more bags of white corn.

"I'll make an exception today. It's enough to eat my esophagus."

After petting the bird to calm my mind, I headed to the medicine field.

In the medicine field, all the elixirs planted before were intact and had not been picked or eaten by insects.

"It seems that even if I leave, the effect of the skill characteristics will still be a little bit."

Xu Yang thought to himself, then took out a bag of crystal clear powder from the storage bag and poured it into the medicine field.

This is... spiritual stone powder.

It can effectively promote growth and increase the age of medicine.

Of course, this is a bit extravagant, and may even outweigh the benefits.

But there was no way. These spirit stone powders were accidentally exploded by Xu Yang when he was killing some garbage cultivators, along with the storage bags. Everything in the spirit stone magic weapon inside was blown into ashes, and nothing else. It can only be used as fertilizer.

Even this Lingshi chemical fertilizer is not in large quantity and can only be supplied to medicinal fields, not rice fields.

It doesn't matter, Xu Yang has other fertilizers.

He turned around and came to the rice field. He saw that the field was covered with weeds and a few ears of rice. There were already rice. When he peeled it open, it turned out to be white corn!

During his absence, spiritual rice actually grew on this land?

Is it the effect of planting skills?

No, it’s the effect of “fertilizer”!

A year ago, after harvesting, he buried some "fertilizer" into the ground, and these spiritual rice grew from the place where the fertilizer was buried.

A cultivator is full of treasures, and they are of considerable value even after death.

When Xu Yang visited the Liang Kingdom, he also visited several "black markets" for cultivators, where many people purchased the corpses of cultivators. The stronger they were, the higher the price.

But he didn't sell it because he also needed it.

I saw Xu Yang taking out his storage bag and pouring out large lumps of ice. They were all frozen corpses. The three murderers of Bailong Island in the past were among them.

Afterwards, Xu Yang took out a mid-grade hoe and started digging, plowing, fertilizing, sowing seeds, and burying all the corpses in the rice fields to use as fertilizer to enhance soil fertility.

With these high-quality fertilizers, there will be a bumper rice harvest next season, and there will be more exotic varieties and high-quality rice.
