Cultivation Begins From The Desert

About four months after Huang Yi successfully established the foundation, Zhou Minghan, who had been in retreat for nearly ten months, also left the retreat.

After ten months of retreat, after refining the "Qinghua Jade Moon Fruit" and two "Fire Dragon Pills", Zhou Minghan's cultivation was successfully promoted to the ninth floor of foundation building.

Yes, two "Fire Flood Pills".

In order to ensure that he would be able to advance to the ninth floor of the Foundation Establishment before the Chen family held the "Foundation Establishment Conference", Zhou Minghan directly took two powerful "Fire Flood Pills" at the cost of cutting off the follow-up path, and forcibly raised his cultivation level. Arrived at the ninth floor of the foundation building.

"Great-grandfather, you, why are you doing this!"

On Yuquan Peak, Zhou Yang looked at the old patriarch Zhou Minghan who had successfully broken through, but there was no trace of joy on his face.

"This old man is getting old. It is already a gift from heaven to be able to sit down with the cultivation base of the ninth floor of the foundation building. It can only rely on you young people to open up the Purple Mansion!"

Zhou Minghan waved his hand, he didn't mind this matter at all, he was very open-minded.

Seeing this, Zhou Yang felt both helpless and moved.

He knew that what Zhou Minghan did was entirely for him and for the Zhou family.

There seems to be only one floor difference between the ninth floor of foundation building and the eighth floor of foundation building, but the difference in actual combat power is at least half.

"By the way, when the old man was retreating, he seemed to sense a change in the spiritual energy of the outside world. Could it be that bastard Huang Yi succeeded in building the foundation?"

Zhou Minghan didn't want to talk too much on this topic, so he deliberately diverted the matter elsewhere.

Hearing what he said, Zhou Yang could only follow his words and replied: "That's exactly the case, and he chose to practice "Shoutu Jinshen Jue", and now he is transferring to practice in his father's cave."

Of course Zhou Minghan knew about the side effects of "The Golden Body Jue on Earth". When he heard Zhou Yang say this, he immediately understood Zhou Yang's plan.

"Is that so?"

Zhou Minghan fixed his eyes, then nodded and said: "That's fine, outsiders are outsiders after all, they can only share wealth and honor, not share adversity, and it's always right to guard against them."

"I think so too, now that great-grandfather has left the customs, you will be in charge of the family first, and take care of that kid by the way. After a while, the grandson will send Brother Yuanchen back to the Huangshamen, and by the way, send the [Nether Blood Deed] Exchange it with a Tier 4 defensive talisman."

Zhou Yuanchen has been in the Zhou family for more than half a year. The animal skins that Zhou Yang gave him at the beginning have all been made into talisman paper for making talismans, and now he is almost running out of talisman paper.

However, because his talisman-making level was only third-tier and low-grade, the success rate of talisman making was not very good. After making the animal skins that Zhou Yang gave him into talisman paper, at least 300 third-tier talisman papers could be produced.

But when he finally used up all the low-grade third-grade talisman papers, he only handed over thirty-seven low-grade third-grade talismans to Zhou Yang, and the success rate was only a little over 10%.

Although Zhou Yang felt a little regretful about this, he also understood.

Talisman-making is no different than refining tools and alchemy. Talisman-making really cannot tolerate any mistakes. Even a small mistake will make the drawing of the talisman fail directly.

Therefore, even if a fourth-rank talisman maker draws a third-rank low-grade spirit talisman, there is no guarantee of success.

Under normal circumstances, it is not difficult for a third-level low-grade talisman master to make a third-level low-grade magic talisman with a success rate of 1.5% to 20%.

But Zhou Yuanchen is special, he is special in that he is practicing the Thunder System Cultivation Technique, and the characteristics of the Thunder System Cultivation Technique and Thunder System Mana are domineering, violent, and not easy to control.

Therefore, it is normal that his talisman-making success rate is lower than normal talisman-making masters of the same level.

Fortunately, although the harvest on the third-tier talisman was not good, Zhou Yuanchen still showed the level that a third-tier talisman maker should have on the second-tier high-grade talisman. High-grade spirit talisman.

"Brother Yuanchen, thank you for your hard work. With these talismans, the safety of the family children will be greatly improved when they go out to practice in the future. It is all thanks to Brother Yuanchen that they can return safely!"

In the cave on the top of the mountain, Zhou Yang looked at the stacks of magic symbols stacked by Zhou Yuanchen on the table, with sincere joy on his face.

"Although it's hard work, it's worth it. Now my talisman-making skills have improved a lot. After returning to the sect, I can try to accept the talisman-making task entrusted by the sect to earn merit points."

Zhou Yuanchen waved his hands tiredly, but his eyes were still bright, and his words revealed joy.

For sects like Huang Shamen, there will be some missions of refining weapons, talismans, and alchemy issued in the sect for a long time. The monks who receive these tasks can get certain merit points as long as they can complete a certain amount with the materials provided by the sect. The higher the success rate, the more merit points you earn.

As long as Zhou Yuanchen improves his talisman-making skills, he can live a prosperous life just by accepting these sect missions.

"In any case, brother Yuanchen has made great contributions to the family. This bottle of [Jin Sui Pill] was made by Ying'er herself. Please accept it and treat it as a gift from the younger brother and his wife for the promotion of the elder brother. A congratulatory gift from a Tier 3 talisman maker!"

Zhou Yang reached out to pat the storage bag, took out a white jade pill bottle and handed it to Zhou Yuanchen.

There are 5 "Golden Marrow Pills" in the pill bottle, which are also worth three to four thousand spirit stones. Although these spirit stones cannot compare with so many spirit charms made by Zhou Yuanchen, the reward is not low.

Moreover, replacing the Lingshi with the elixir that Zhou Yuanchen could just take would show the sincerity of the family even more.

"This... well, then I will accept it with the audacity."

Zhou Yuanchen looked at the pill bottle in Zhou Yang's hand, but he couldn't resist the temptation in the end.

The slow growth of his cultivation base is also because he has not taken any pills. After all, although the Zhou family borrowed merit points to exchange for foundation-building pills for him, it is impossible for him to return the magic weapon pills after foundation-building. supply.

Therefore, the Lingshi and Zongmen Merit Points he earned over the years were all used to exchange magic tools and blank talisman papers, and he had no money to buy spirit pills.

When Zhou Yang saw the elixir under his hand, the smile on his face couldn't help but became wider, and then he cupped his hands and said: "Then I won't bother Brother Yuanchen to rest, after you rest, I will send you back to Huangsha Door."

After speaking, he collected all the talismans drawn by Zhou Yuanchen these days and took them out, and then stored all the second-tier talismans in the family treasury, and only put in seven third-tier talismans.

The exchange price of these talismans put in the family treasure house is only 90% of the market price, and the monks of the Zhou family will earn money even if they exchange them and resell them into spirit stones.

However, this kind of behavior of exchanging items in the family treasury for resale is basically something that no family member dares to do, because if he is found out doing this, what awaits him will be the severe punishment of being abolished and expelled from the family.

A few days later, Zhou Yuanchen took a rest and after recovering his spirits, he went out of the cave to pay a visit to the old patriarch Zhou Minghan, and then he and Zhou Yang rode a Gryphon to the Huangshamen.

When they arrived at the Huangshamen, Zhou Yangxian and Zhou Yuanchen went to pay respects to his master Li Feiyu, and gave ten blank talisman papers made of third-grade middle-grade monster skins as gifts, and asked who was in the Huangshamen. There is something about the fourth-tier defensive talisman.

Li Feiyu, as a top-ranked third-rank talisman maker, is still a thunder cultivator who can make thunder talismans, so he is naturally much clearer about the flow of talismans in the sect than ordinary people.

Zhou Yang didn't give away the ten blank talisman papers for nothing, and soon learned from him that the Huang Shamen female Zifu monk Jiang Yuyan who had followed him was a fourth-rank middle-grade talisman maker , there must be a fourth-level defensive talisman in his hand, and Guo Shuyun, the master of the General Affairs Hall, and several foundation-building ninth-floor monks also have this kind of treasure in their hands.

After inquiring about the situation, Zhou Yang was the first to visit Guo Shuyun, the head of Huangshamen's General Affairs Palace.

It's a pity that although Guo Shuyun has a fourth-order defensive talisman, he doesn't intend to transfer this talisman, but wants to leave it to his descendants for self-defense.

Zhou Yang had no choice but to spend 10,000 merit points to exchange for two "Netherworld Blood Contracts", and then went to Jiang Yuyan's cave to pay a visit.

"Oh, you want to exchange Zongmen Merit Points with me for a Tier 4 defensive talisman? Why do you think I would be willing to exchange it with you?"

In Jiang Yuyan's cave, after listening to Zhou Yang's explanation of her visit, she looked at Zhou Yang with a half-smile on her pretty face, but her words were very blunt.

Tier 4 talismans are rare treasures, and the talisman paper materials that can be used to make talismans of Tier 4 are also difficult to find. Therefore, such treasures rarely appear in the treasury of Huangshamen's sect, and usually they will be exchanged for them immediately after they appear.

That's why Jiang Yuyan was so confident.

But Zhou Yang didn't like her, because even if Jiang Yuyan couldn't change the magic talisman here, he still had other options, and he had always remembered Jiang Yuyan's stalking of him back then!

"Senior Jiang is serious. This junior didn't think that you would definitely exchange with this junior. If you don't want to exchange, just pretend that this junior has never been here before!"

Zhou Yang arched his hands, Dang even turned around and left.

"Wait!"

Jiang Yuyan's beautiful eyes froze, but she stopped Zhou Yang.

Then she restrained the look of contempt on her face, looked at Zhou Yang with a straight face and said: "You can change the fourth-order magic talisman, but you have to answer me a question first, how can Master buy [Jade Liquid Golden Pill]?" How much spirit stone did it cost?"

"Senior, don't you think this question shouldn't be asked? Not to mention that this junior can't tell the story of Liuyunzhou's immortal cultivation world after signing the blood contract. Even if you can tell, do you think this junior dares to leak senior Cao just for a mere fourth-order talisman?" the root of it?"

Zhou Yang looked at Jiang Yuyan with a strange expression, never expecting that the dignified Zifu monk would ask such a question.

At the same time, he was also secretly surprised that Cao Wenjin did not explain the price of the "Jade Liquid Golden Elixir" to the cultivators in the Zongmen's Zifu. Why?

Jiang Yuyan fell silent when she heard what he said.

Of course, Zhou Yang would not know that for the right to use the "Jade Liquid Golden Elixir", all the late-stage monks in the Zifu in the Huangshamen are now gearing up, fighting openly and secretly.

That is the "Jade Liquid Golden Elixir", who wouldn't want it for a cultivator in the Zifu period?

After being silent for a while, she finally gathered her thoughts and looked at Zhou Yang and said, "I made a mistake just now. You can change the fourth-order talisman if you want, but you have to pay half of the merit points to change it."
