Immortal Path Evergreen

Zhang Zhixuan pondered for a moment and said, "Why not wait another twenty years and wait until Qingchan forms a pill before taking action."

Zhang Zhixuan's words were very certain. Although he did not speak directly, he still told Lu Hongniang almost clearly that Qingchan was a cultivator with a natural spiritual root and was sure to form a pill.

Even though she had guessed it long ago, Lu Hongniang still felt special after hearing the exact answer from Zhang Zhixuan.

Lu Hongniang said, "In fact, even if we take action now, we are still very sure to win."

Zhang Zhixuan still didn't want to take risks. After all, time was on their side. They would be sure to take action only after Qingchan formed a pill. Twenty years is a long time for mortals, but it is just a short moment for cultivators. A long retreat for a Jindan-stage cultivator may consume twenty years of effort.

Although he did not explicitly oppose it, he was still not prepared to take action if he was not 70% or 80% sure. He just said euphemistically: "Without the top masters of the Purple Mansion period, the attack power of the fifth-level Cang Yuan ape is very strong. Once we lose manpower, it will be more trouble than gain."

Lu Hongniang smiled and said: "This time I am completely sure that I have solved the trouble of the Iron-backed Cang Yuan ape. I can leave you one of the fourth-level monsters in the Guiyuan Mountain range."

After Zhang Yuantai's extra consumption, there is only one family foundation pill left. In the past few years, Zhang Zhixuan has been thinking about hunting fourth-level monsters.

It's a pity that the fourth-level monsters are all in the depths of the Southern Wilderness, and there are huge populations guarding them. If they are not fully prepared, it is easy to fail to sneak attack and become the prey of the fifth-level monsters.

When they captured Shuangjiao Mountain, not only did the top Purple Mansion Liang Patriarch take action, but in fact, there was also Jin Patriarch to provide protection, and a large number of low-level cultivators were mobilized. Without the Jindan period cultivators to contain the Swallowing Heaven Toad, they had no way to deal with the Shuangjiao Mountain monsters.

Even though the three purple palaces of the Zhang family have high cultivation, it is still difficult to find such a good opportunity to kill a fourth-level monster.

Zhang Zhixuan certainly does not want to take risks without benefits, and his attitude will naturally be different if there are benefits. Seeing Lu Hongniang say this, Zhang Zhixuan immediately said: "What is the ancestor going to do?"

Lu Hongniang said: "I plan to surround the point and attack the reinforcements. The three of you plus Zi Yan, Cheng Xiang, and Zi Jian will dispatch six purple palaces to raid the fourth-level Teng Snake and see if the Iron-backed Cang Yuan can hold it. If it does not show up, you will kill the fourth-level monsters in Teng Mountain and Huayang Mountain and clear the retreat of Guiyuan Mountain. If the Cang Yuan shows up, you must try to delay it, and I will wait five thousand miles away.

The Cang Yuan's spiritual awareness is no less than that of a Jindan cultivator, and its five senses are extremely sharp. If I get too close, I am afraid that it will alarm the Cang Yuan, so you must resist the Cang Yuan for at least one hour."

According to Lu Hongniang's estimation, the six purple palaces in action have good cultivation. Qingchan is at the eighth level of the Purple Mansion, and his magic power is already very strong, not much worse than Zhu Wuya. Luo Ziyan is at the seventh level of the Purple Mansion, and she has several fourth-level top-grade magic weapons on her body, which is also difficult to deal with. Zhou Zijian is at the sixth level of the Purple Mansion, Wang Chengxiang is at the fifth level of the Purple Mansion, plus Zhang Zhixuan and Hanyan, they are almost more powerful than three purple mansion ninth-level cultivators working together.

Among these six people, Wang Chengxiang is a fourth-level formation master. If the six people set up a fourth-level top-grade formation to work together, it will be enough to deal with the Iron-backed Cang Yuan.

After listening to Lu Hongniang's detailed plan, Zhang Zhixuan, after careful consideration, finally decided to respond to the call of Lu Laozu and start with the Iron-backed Cang Yuan.

In the Qingxuan Sect's treasury, there are three sets of fifth-level formations, which have been arranged on the three spiritual veins of Heishan, Qingyang, and Guiyuan. The remaining few most powerful formations are all fourth-level top-grade.

Most of these sets of fourth-grade top-grade formations are stationed on Lingshan Mountain. Once deployed, they cannot be moved at all. They are suitable for guarding spiritual veins, but not suitable for cultivators to fight.

Only one set of Yin-Yang Qimen formation can be moved, but in order to exert the full power of this formation, it requires six Yin and six Yang twelve purple palaces to work together to set up the formation.

Now there are no six male and six female twelve purple palaces in Qingxuan Sect. After Wang Chengxiang's streamlining, three male disciples of the ninth level of foundation building and three female disciples of the ninth level of foundation building were finally selected to replace the shortage of manpower.

However, in this way, the power of this set of formations has been weakened a lot. Although it still exceeds the fourth-grade middle-grade formation, it is still somewhat inferior to the fourth-grade top-grade formation.

After the discussion was finalized, Lu Hongniang communicated with Luo Ziyan and the other two, and then took the supplies back to Guiyuan Mountain on the giant boat. Wen Ziqing and other foundation-building cultivators who were on a mission also followed her to guard Guiyuan Mountain.

Only under the protection of the Jindan cultivators can they travel back and forth from Guiyuan Mountain.

This situation is enough to show that this ape has been a thorn in the back and a thorn in the throat of Qingxuan Sect.

Because it has suffered several losses and is not completely sure, the Iron-backed Cang Ape will not easily attack the monks on the giant boat. Seeing Lu Hongniang on the giant boat, the Iron-backed Cang Ape followed for a while and then disappeared without a trace.

The reason why the Cang Ape is tricky is because of this factor. Compared with low-level monsters, it has a high level of intelligence. After being fooled several times, it has become very cunning and difficult to deal with.

After Wang Chengxiang perfected the formation, everyone quietly left Qingyang Mountain and entered the depths of the Southern Wilderness after they were fully prepared.

The land of the Southern Wilderness is barren. Once you leave the territory controlled by Qingxuan Sect, there are endless wilderness everywhere. Even if the high-level monsters nearby have been cleared, you can still see many third-level monsters under everyone's eyes.

This environment is suitable for monsters to survive. As long as no one cares, some wild beasts can occasionally be purified into monsters.

Even if the cultivators killed all the monsters, as long as the geographical environment is not changed, there will still be wild beasts that evolve into monsters and reoccupy this territory.

The spiritual vein where the fourth-level Teng Snake is entrenched is called Teng Mountain. Because of the threat of the Iron-backed Ape, the Qingxuan Sect cultivators rarely dare to investigate nearby, and they are not clear about how many monsters there are on this mountain.

The enemy situation is unknown, and everyone is experienced. Naturally, they will not rashly go up the mountain to avoid being surrounded by monsters.

Wang Chengxiang stood at the bow of the floating cloud boat, his eyes constantly emitting spiritual light, using the Thousand Miles of Air Viewing Technique to start investigating the information on Teng Mountain.

Wang Chengxiang jumped and looked, only to see a mirage lingering on the top of the mountain. These mirages seemed like colorful auspicious clouds, which looked brilliant and exquisite, making people unable to help but linger and stop.

Everyone was a cultivator from the Southern Wilds, so they were naturally very familiar with this colorful cloud. This mirage was the most common poisonous miasma in the Southern Wilds, the colorful cloud miasma.

The toxicity of the colorful cloud miasma varied, and even the cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage dared not get involved in the most powerful colorful cloud miasma. Although the colorful cloud miasma here was not as exaggerated, just looking at the colorful cloud miasma covering most of the mountain, you could tell that the toxicity was not low at all, and you would fail if you were not careful.
