Longevity and Immortal Cultivation: Starting from Controlling Your Own Essence

"Ah? Demon cultivation technique?"

Dugu Yan was a little confused, but he still didn't dare to neglect and stood up quickly:

"Okay, ancestor, wait a moment."

After he left the table in a hurry, everyone didn't pay much attention and continued to have fun. Zhang Yao also left the window and returned to his seat.

It wasn't until half an hour passed and everyone had drunkenly for three rounds that Lonely Goose came back.

"I have collected a total of one hundred and twenty-six books on demon cultivating techniques in this market. I would like to ask my ancestor to take a look."

Dugu Yan respectfully handed over a storage bracelet.

In just ten years, the Dugu family has taken a share of Mo Yuan's output. The whole family has gained huge benefits and its strength has been greatly enhanced.

Therefore, his attitude towards Zhang Yao became more and more respectful, and he did his best to do even such small things as running errands without daring to slack off in the slightest.

"Um."

Zhang Yao nodded slightly, showing a hint of satisfaction, and motioned for him to sit down again.

After Dugu Yan sat down again, Zhang Yao took out the jade slips one by one and began to look through the demon cultivator's techniques, trying to figure out what he didn't understand and summarizing the mysteries.

No one dared to disturb him, so they stopped talking and communicated with each other using their spiritual thoughts to guess Zhang Yao's intentions.

"I see……"

Zhang Yao kept reading and checking, and soon had a great understanding of the demon cultivator's techniques.

The mainstream paths of demon cultivation are called "purification" and "evolution".

As the name suggests, purification is to trace the source of blood, purify the blood upward, and improve one's own blood level.

Derivative means that when the blood is strong enough and pure enough, the total amount of blood is continuously derived, and the inferior blood is replaced with pure blood - which includes the method of replacing human blood with demon blood.

"These are two completely different paths from the demon cultivating techniques circulated in the outside world..."

Zhang Yao kept thinking in his mind.

The external demon cultivation techniques require demon blood as a guide because they do not have demon blood. This is the most critical step. Future cultivation will also focus on external demon blood.

But the demon cultivators in Jingguo are basically born with demon blood, so they don't need this step. Their cultivation path is mainly based on tapping their own potential.

In Jingguo, there are still mostly normal monks. Unless they are envious of the longevity advantage of demon cultivators, no one will turn to demon cultivators.

“At first glance, there is no obvious advantage or disadvantage between these two paths.”

"But Jingguo's path to demon cultivation seems to be smoother and closer to the principles of nature. I'm afraid the upper limit is higher."

Thoughts were floating in Zhang Yao's mind, and he seemed to have glimpsed some of the root causes of Jingguo's situation.

The demon cultivators he has seen have difficulties in their own cultivation, and their progress is much slower than that of normal human cultivators. It is a blessing to be able to break through the golden elixir, and there is almost no progress after that.

A typical example is Patriarch Wanchuan, who has wasted thousands of years and is still in the early stage of the Golden Elixir.

But in Jingguo's path of demon cultivation, if one's bloodline is strong enough and one's birth is noble enough, it seems that one can cultivate to the Nascent Soul realm. Even if it is extremely difficult, it is better than having no hope.

"The three major forces in Jingguo, Tangshan, Yingyuan Valley and Liangyuechuan, should all have Nascent Soul cultivators in charge."

Zhang Yao's eyes flickered, and he suddenly picked out a jade slip and gestured:

"The content at the end of this exercise book analyzes the situation in Jingguo from the side. You might as well take a good look."

After everyone heard this, they suddenly became interested and began to explore their spiritual thoughts.

After seeing it, many Jindan monks frowned slightly, some were thoughtful, and some started to communicate with each other.

The appendix of this book actually tells some of the knowledge circulated within the demon cultivating world of Ichiban Jing, focusing on the "blood of the eight kings".

The so-called blood of the eight kings is actually the eight bloodlines recognized as the most noble among many bloodlines. It is said that the source can be traced back to the direct descendants of the fallen demons in ancient times.

As for reaching the sky in one step and tracing the bloodline back to the ancient demon, that is impossible.

Just like in the mainstream path of demon cultivation, purification and evolution are carried out simultaneously, often the same as the advancement of strength.

In other words, unless another demon cultivator at the level of a god is born, no one can trace their bloodline back to their own source.

In Jingguo, the reason why the blood of the eight kings is the noble bloodline that everyone envies is because their bloodline level is too high and they can temporarily skip the purification step. They only need to focus on the evolution of the bloodline. Their cultivation speed is far faster than the others. Demonic cultivator.

Today's three top forces are the three of the Eight Blood Kings.

Among them, Tangshan inherits the bloodline of Feitian Shen Biao, known as the King of Tigers and the Lord of the Sky;

Ying Yuan Valley inherits the bloodline of the Baihua Immortal Ape, who is known as the number one primate, wise and close to the gods;

Liangyue River inherits the bloodline of Shuoyue Tianhu, known as Climbing the Sky and Holding the Moon, Taiyin Leader;

"Why is Patriarch Qingxu showing us this?"

Many Jindan monks had some doubts in their hearts.

They came to participate in the Taiyin Tide event, hoping to gain benefits from the event and understand the situation in Jingguo and the inside story of the three major forces. It seems unnecessary, right?

After noticing everyone's puzzled looks, Zhang Yao also spoke:

"My goal for this Lunar Tide event is to capture enough Lunar Dettol."

"So, sooner or later, we will collide with Tangshan and other three major forces. Knowing it in advance is to be prepared."

When many Jindan monks heard this, their expressions suddenly changed.

The benefits of the Taiyin Tide Festival are also divided into many grades, and the highest grade is Taiyin Dettol!

But Taiyin Dettol is also known as "Emperor's Liquid" among the demon clan and demon cultivators. It is a treasure that has the power of creation for the demon clan and demon cultivators. How can it be easily given up to the demon clan and demon cultivators?

In the past Taiyin Tide Festival, Taiyin Dettol was basically monopolized by the three major local forces, and there was no way for outsiders to compete for it.

"Why, are you all scared?"

Zhang Yao smiled slightly and said:

"The Taiyin Tide Festival is essentially the result of the Liang Yuechuan family, and even the entire Jingguo, being unable to cope with the celestial phenomenon of the 'Taiyin Tide', let alone absorbing all the benefits, so it spreads far and wide to participate in the grand event."

"At such a grand event, there are countless Jindan monks and ancestors from various sects coming from all directions. Liang Yuechuan would not dare to brave the world and break the rules."

"Since it's within the rules, everyone has to rely on their own methods. There is no risk of life."

After hearing this, many Jindan monks immediately became calm, but after talking to each other for a few words, they still couldn't hide their worries.

As Zhang Yao said, the competition at the Taiyin Tide Festival was within the rules. Even if Liangyue River, Tangshan and Yingyuan Valley suffered losses, it would not be easy for them to get angry.

But this does not mean that everything will be fine.

After all, if the Taiyin Dettol is successfully captured, it will not only greatly reduce the face of the three major forces, but also cause real loss of profits. How can the three major forces be willing to let it go?

Even if it is estimated that the face and influence will not cause any trouble openly, there are many ways to do things secretly.

Zhang Yao has a strong body and can turn a blind eye to casual revenge, but they can't. With their strength, if they are angered by the three major forces, they might have to shed a piece of their skin.

"This is not going to be easy..."

Many Jindan monks exchanged glances with different thoughts.

It was obviously impossible to persuade the Qingxu Ancestor. After all, they were not discussing but informing. Their attitude was very firm and could not be shaken.

They didn't have the guts to disobey the Lord of the Southwest, so they had no choice but to follow Zhang Yao's wishes.

"Brother Tao."

Ancestor Zhenyang seemed to still have some extravagant hopes and couldn't help but ask:

"Since Brother Dao wants to fight for Taiyin Dettol, it must be of great use to you."

"Can I ask one more question, how many drops would Brother Tao want to buy?"

Zhang Yao thought for a moment and then said:

"At least six drops."

To engrave the "Taiyin Tianshu Formation" in his body, he needs nine drops of Taiyin Dettol, not even one drop less.

At the last moment of the Taiyin Tide Festival, Liu Cang, the Five Elements Sanshi, seized twelve drops of Taiyin Dettol. He used nine drops for himself and left three drops for him.

Therefore, six drops is his limit.

But he will never be satisfied with the bottom line. After all, his current strength is similar to that of Liu Cang when he participated in the meeting. Liu Cang can successfully capture the twelve drops. Can't he do it?

As for offending the three major forces, it doesn't matter to him. After that guy Liu Cang finished his job back then, isn't he still alive and kicking?

"Six drops..."

Ancestor Zhenyang and the many golden elixir monks looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.

One or two drops is considered symbolic, and the three major forces will not pursue it further; if it is only five or six drops, with Zhang Yao's status as the lord of the southwest and his power that has shocked more than a dozen countries in the Central Plains, Liang Yuechuan and the other three will probably not Will go to war.

But before they could feel happy secretly, they heard Zhang Yao say again:

"Of course, six drops is just the most basic goal."

"When it comes time to compete, the more the better, and all comers will be accepted. After all, opportunities are rare."

Ancestor Zhenyang and others: "..."
