Cultivation Begins From The Desert

Ye Yunshan was suddenly accepted as a personal disciple by her teacher's wife Xiao Ying, which shocked even herself.

To express herself in front of Xiao Ying, all she expected was a Foundation Establishment Pill, but she had never expected such a good thing.

Of course the shock is followed by ecstasy.

Even Xiaobai, who is new to the knowledge of cultivating immortals, knows the difference between named disciples and direct disciples.

Becoming the personal disciple of Xiao Ying, a freshly released Jindan stage monk, not only means that she, Ye Yunshan, will succeed in establishing the foundation, but also has great hopes for opening the Purple Mansion in the future. They have completely become two classes.

Wang Yanzhang was also very happy, Ye Yunshan was his righteous sister and Taoist companion, if she lived well, his elder brother and Taoist companion would definitely be no worse.

And with the care of a golden core stage monk like Xiao Ying, he no longer has to worry about his younger sister and Taoist partner getting hurt.

In the past, he was often worried that if the people from the "Six Dao League" came over, if Master Zhou Yang couldn't withstand the attack, he would leave them as registered disciples and flee back to Yuqing Daozong.

But now, he can completely relax.

Because even if they had to retreat, Ye Yunshan, who was Xiao Ying's personal disciple, would definitely be taken away together, and as Ye Yunshan's Taoist companion, he should not be abandoned at will.

Although in this way, he will inevitably bear the reputation of being a soft food, but compared with the huge benefits he has obtained, this is a small problem.

Compared to the happy Wang Yanzhang and Ye Yunshan, the moods of the other people on Chongxuan Mountain were very complicated.

Undoubtedly, apart from the five Zhou family monks brought by Zhou Yang, the rest of the registered disciples came to Chongxuan Mountain to worship their masters. Apart from wanting to obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill from Zhou Yang, they did not want to express themselves through this way, so that I hope that one day, Yu will be valued by Zhou Yang, a master, and he will truly be accepted into the door and become an official disciple of the Golden Core Stage monk.

Now more than ten years have passed, when they still had no hope, Ye Yunshan suddenly emerged, followed the route of the teacher's wife and became the disciple of the teacher's wife who had just successfully formed an alchemy, and achieved what they dreamed of in one fell swoop.

How could this result not make them both envious and jealous.

If Ye Yunshan was a spiritual body cultivator, or had a high-grade spiritual root aptitude, they might not be jealous, but Ye Yunshan's middle-grade spiritual root aptitude was about the same as 90% of them.

Everyone has middle-grade spiritual root aptitude, and they started at the same time. Why are they still registered disciples, and they can't even see the hope of establishing a foundation, but Ye Yunshan has become a direct disciple of the teacher's wife. The future of Zifu is promising. Why?

Those who had this kind of thinking were not only the registered disciples who started with Ye Yunshan, but also the five Zhou family juniors who came to Liuyunzhou to cultivate immortals with Zhou Yang.

As members of the Zhou family, they share the blood of the same ancestor as Zhou Yang, the ancestor of the Zhou family, and they started serving Zhou Yang and his wife earlier than Ye Yunshan and others. It stands to reason that even if they really want to recruit apprentices, they should be given priority. .

Why? Why is it that Ye Yunshan, an outsider, is more valued by the family's ancestors and grandmothers than the rest of the Zhou family?

These thoughts linger in the minds of the registered disciples, making them unable to even practice with peace of mind.

For a while, all the registered disciples on Chongxuan Mountain were full of emotions, and they were not in the mood to do things and practice.

Of course, these people's dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction, and jealousy is jealousy, but no one is stupid enough to question Zhou Yang and Xiao Ying why they are like this, no one is stupid enough to openly question this decision, and they don't even dare to say it directly.

Everyone knows that misfortune comes from the mouth.

The spiritual consciousness of the Jindanqi monks is enough to easily cover the entire Chongxuan Mountain, and no one can guarantee that the words in his mouth will not be heard by the two Jindanqi monks.

Zhou Yang and Xiao Ying were naturally well aware of the thoughts of these registered disciples.

This is human nature, if they were to change places, I am afraid that they would not be exempt.

So as long as no one offends them by looking for a dead end, they will not reprimand and punish these people.

Time is the best regulator. Zhou Yang believes that as time goes by, as Ye Yunshan's cultivation level gradually widens the gap with these people, these people's thoughts will naturally change.

Therefore, after the acceptance ceremony, Ye Yunshan moved into the mountain top area to practice, and no longer worked with those named disciples to do chores.

Zhou Yang didn't care about how Xiao Ying taught his disciples. After a few days of rest, he studied the "Blood Soul Sacrifice Artifact Art" that he got from Master Qingyang, and planned to use this secret art to sacrifice the Dragon tripod with animal face pattern.

This "Blood Soul Sacrifice Artifact" is not complicated, but the cost of using it is a bit high.

If this technique is used to sacrifice magical artifacts, one must first use some precious materials to set up an altar array, then place the magical artifacts on the altar, and sacrifice with one's own blood every day for seven to forty-nine days. Can be successful.

Zhou Yang did some calculations, if he didn't take any panacea to supplement his essence and blood, if he used this secret technique to sacrifice the dragon cauldron with beast-mask patterns, he might lose half his life. No wonder Master Qingyang didn't advise him at that time. this way.

But if he took some miraculous medicine to restore and replenish blood essence, he might be able to recover after recuperating for ten or eight years.

In view of this, after hesitating for a while, he decided to use this secret technique.

So next, Zhou Yang personally went to several fairy cities around Xuanshan Mountain, and bought all the materials for arranging the altar formation.

Then he declared a retreat, and secretly sacrificed the dragon tripod with the beast face pattern in the cave.

Seventy-seven and forty-nine days later, he finally successfully refined the Dragon Cauldron with the animal face pattern, and thus learned the real name and function of this magic weapon.

It turned out that the real name of this dragon cauldron with animal face patterns was "Suppressing Heaven Canglong Cauldron", and it was indeed a sixth-order middle-grade magic weapon just as Lu Xuanji said at the beginning.

At the same time, Master Qingyang was not wrong. If Zhou Yang wanted to practice the "Canglong Body Refining Art" to the fourth level, he had to pour the blood of the dragon into the cauldron, and activate the "Canglong Flame" attached to the treasure tripod to temper it. practice, and then jump into the cauldron to meditate and practice.

Of course, the auxiliary practice of the "Canglong Body Refining Art" is only an incidental function of the "Suppressing the Sky Canglong Cauldron". Its real function is to suppress the void and form a forbidden area.

If Zhou Yang had a Nascent Soul Stage cultivation base and was able to exert the full power of the "Suppressing Heaven Canglong Cauldron", the scope of this forbidden area would be as wide as hundreds of miles.

At that time, within a hundred miles, all existences with a cultivation base below the late Yuanying stage will lose their ability to fly, with the exception of the owner of the "Suppressing Heaven Canglong Cauldron".

This is a terrifying ability!

It can be foreseen that the cultivator who worshiped this "Suppressing Canglong Cauldron" must be a tyrannical body cultivator who has practiced the "Canglong Body Refining Art" to an extremely high level.

In the face of such a powerful physical cultivator, if he suddenly loses the power of flying, even a monk in the Nascent Soul stage can easily be blown away by the opponent!

This is a magic weapon specially made for top physical cultivation.

Combat strength is completely different for a body repair with this magic weapon in hand, and a body repair without this magic weapon.

"Good baby, good baby!"

"It's not in vain for me to sacrifice such a high price to refine this thing."

"With this treasure in hand, the world will be so big in the future, where can't I go!"

In the secret room of the cave mansion, Zhou Yang, who had sunken eye sockets, was thin and pale like snowflakes, looked at the cauldron in front of him, and laughed with excitement and joy in his eyes.

At this time, his aura was extremely sluggish, which was caused by the loss of blood essence caused by refining the "Suppressing Heaven Canglong Cauldron" in the past few days.

Even with the help of the elixir, his current loss of essence and blood is less than 60% of what it was in his heyday, which is not a big loss.

Therefore, for the next five years, none of the monks on Chongxuan Mountain, including Xiao Ying, the Taoist companion, saw Zhou Yang once.

It was not until seven years later that a message came that Zhou Yang walked out of the door of the closed room.

The news was delivered by Master Qingyang, and the content was that Zhou Yang asked him to announce the search for the fifth-order tree demon, and there was already news.

"The wild jungle? Looks like we're going to go on a long trip again!"

In the cave, Zhou Yang frowned slightly after reading the letter sent by Master Qingyang, and soon returned to normal.

The wild jungle is indeed a bit far away, but if there is a fifth-order tree demon, it is the only place where the probability is the highest.

So this news should be true.

As for the long journey, there is no other way. The refining of the natal magic weapon is of great importance, and it is of great benefit to be able to refine it a year in advance.

So he quickly called Taoist couple Xiao Ying to the cave and talked about it.

"Senior Qingyang sent news that someone found a fifth-order dryad in the wild jungle. I need to go there to get the [Dryad's Heart] for you. During the next time I go out for my husband, Ying'er You have to be vigilant like last time, and don’t let the disciples out of the mountain during this period, so as not to leak the news that your husband is not on the mountain!”

Over the years, the territory of Anguo can be said to be peaceful, and the "Six Dao League" seems to have acquiesced in the existence of Chongxuan Mountain, and has no intention of pulling out this nail. This is Zhou Yang's confidence to go far alone.

Otherwise, he would definitely take his Taoist companion Xiao Ying to the wild jungle.

And when Xiao Ying heard that he was going out to find materials for refining her natal magic weapon, she did not dissuade or ask to go with her in a sensible way.

I just said "Pay attention to safety" as usual, then looked at him and said, "Since your husband is going to travel far away, you might as well go to Xianyang City and buy a copy of "Qinghua's Sutra of Crossing Evil" for Yunshan. You can take the Foundation Establishment Pill to establish the foundation immediately, and when you come back, my husband, you should have successfully established the foundation, and it is time to switch to this exercise."

The "Qinghua Crossing the Calamity Sutra" practiced by Xiao Ying was originally given to Zhou Yang for free by the Xuanyang Pavilion when the Master Qingyang spoke.

But this purchased exercise can only be practiced by herself and cannot be passed on to others, so if Ye Yunshan wants to practice this advanced exercise, Zhou Yang has to buy it for her once with a spirit stone.

It's just that when Zhou Yang heard Xiao Ying's words, he rarely rejected her request, shook his head and said: "Ying'er, you don't like to fight, and practicing the "Qinghua Crossing Evil Scripture" can be said to complement each other, but your disciple The personality is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, if you practice this kind of purely auxiliary skills, I am afraid the effect will not be satisfactory."

After he finished speaking, he paused, looked at Xiao Ying's face, and seeing the thoughtful look on her face, he knew that she had listened to his words.

So he went on to say: "It just so happens that my husband has a copy of "Zhimu Xuangong", which is also an advanced wood-attribute exercise. Later, after she succeeds in building the foundation, you can pass on the first half to her and teach her to practice this exercise. "

"Zhimu Xuangong" is a high-level exercise that Zhou Yang obtained when he confiscated a treasure house of the Zifu family in Cangyuan Immortal City in the far west. , but it is enough to practice to the Nascent Soul stage.

In fact, Zhou Yang still has something to say.

That is, Xiao Ying was able to practice the "Qinghua Crossing Evil Scripture" because he, Zhou Yang, was able to protect her well and provide her with sufficient cultivation resources.

If Ye Yunshan also practiced this auxiliary technique with little combat power, and she was Xiao Ying's direct disciple, it meant that Zhou Yang would probably have to raise another non-combatant high-level monk in the future, which he didn't want to see .

After all, Ling Zhifu is not an alchemist, no matter how talented Ling Zhifu is, he is not as useful to a force as a master of alchemy.

Zhou Yang can support an alchemy master regardless of resource consumption, but he is absolutely unwilling to support a fourth-level or fifth-level Lingzhi husband in this way.

It's just that there's no need to tell Xiao Ying about these things, Zhou Yang doesn't want her to bear anything because of this matter.

Sure enough, Xiao Ying quickly dismissed her original idea when he said that, she nodded lightly and said, "What my husband said is also reasonable, so let's stop this matter first, and after Yun Shan succeeds in establishing her foundation, the concubine will Then tell her the situation and let her make her own choice."

"That's right. Her own path still depends on her own opinion. As a master, you don't have to take care of everything. That would be annoying."

Zhou Yang smiled lightly, and Dang even handed over the "Zhimu Xuan Gong" to Xiao Ying, and then explained some things before quietly leaving Chongxuan Mountain.

Half a year later, in a deep valley deep in the wild jungle, golden flames shot up into the sky, reflecting a huge ancient tree with dancing branches.

This ancient tree was nearly three hundred feet high, and the trunk was more than ten feet in diameter. At this moment, an unusually beautiful female face suddenly appeared on the trunk burned by the golden flames.

"Shangxian spares my life. I don't know where the little demon has offended the Shangxian. I also ask the Shangxian to forgive the little demon for the sake of the little demon's difficult cultivation. The little demon is willing to offer all the treasures to the Shangxian!"

The female face on the tree trunk opened its mouth wide, begging for mercy in a mournful voice.

What tree monsters like it are most afraid of are those monks of the fire system who have mastered the true fire of the sun. In front of such monks, their powerful vitality sometimes becomes a torture tool for themselves.

Once Zhou Yang's "Qianyang True Fire" strengthened by the "Qianyang Orb" comes out, even if the tree demon's cultivation base has reached the fifth-level top-rank, he can only wait to die.

Hearing the tree demon's begging for mercy at this moment, Zhou Yang said indifferently, unmoved in the slightest: "If this seat thinks that your practice is not easy to spare your life, then those monsters that have been drained of their essence, blood, spirit, and spirit by you Savage beasts and wild alien races, why don't you spare their lives?"

Hearing this, the tree demon immediately argued loudly: "But Shangxian is not a monster, nor is it a barbaric alien race. Even though the little demon lives in the wilderness, he also knows that a cultivator like Shangxian can also hunt and kill monsters and savages. , and the barbaric alien race are also enemies, why do you help these enemies to deal with the little demon?"

Zhou Yang laughed immediately, and couldn't help but said with a smile: "You also said that immortal cultivators can hunt and kill monsters and wild beasts, so aren't you a demon yourself? Immortal cultivators kill demons, do you need a reason?"

"You—you bully the monster too much!"

The tree demon's face was distorted with anger, and his green eyes were full of resentment, staring at Zhou Yang in the air.

It was originally a man-eating and vicious tree, and its temper was not very good. If it hadn't been restrained by Zhou Yang with all its supernatural powers, it would never talk nonsense with Zhou Yang, and would have captured Zhou Yang to make tree fertilizer!

"It's your misfortune to be born as a demon. If there is an afterlife, just reincarnate as a human!"

After Zhou Yang murmured a few words to himself, he waved his hand and sacrificed the "Taiyin Zanpakutao" to cut at the root of the tree.

The sharp silver long knife was cut on the trunk, and a maroon liquid slowly overflowed from the wound. He wanted to repair the wound on the trunk, but as the golden flame burned, the maroon liquid was quickly burned into a burst of blood. red smoke.

In this way, although the tree demon struggled desperately, Zhou Yangsheng cut down the tree trunk helplessly in the end.

The trunk fell, and the dryad was still alive, but without the trunk, the dryad was even more unable to stop Zhou Yang's attack.

Not long after, this demon tree, which had lived for an unknown number of years, was uprooted by Zhou Yang and thrown to the ground.

This is not the first time that Zhou Yang has killed a creature like a dryad. In Duanyun Mountain Range, he also killed a fourth-order dryad in order to seize the [Condensing Yuan Fruit] tree. It was a hundred-foot-long ancient pine.

A dryad, the most precious thing on it is naturally [the heart of the dryad].

The [Tree Demon Heart] of this fifth-rank high-grade tree demon is half a foot long and two feet wide, which is more than enough to refine two "Rejuvenation Immortal Vases".

In addition to the [Tree Demon Heart] which contains strong vitality, the roots and trunks of the Dryad are also excellent materials for refining alchemy.

Zhou Yang had the experience of last time, but this time he kept his hand specially. He only burned down a layer of tree trunk on the surface of the tree demon, but kept more than half of the tree core inside.

It's a pity that creatures like tree demons are too domineering. There is rarely room for other elixir to grow in the place where it grows, let alone spiritual wood.

At the beginning, the tree monster in Duanyun Mountain was able to allow the [Condensed Yuan Fruit] tree to grow next to it, because it wanted to use [Condensed Yuan Fruit] to lure other monsters close to itself, so that it could devour those monsters to nourish itself.

The tree demon that was killed by Zhou Yang just now can grow a spiritual fruit that can lure monsters and beasts to devour it, so there is no need to cultivate other elixir as bait.

It's just that the few spiritual fruits on the Dryad's body were actively absorbed by it in the previous battle to replenish its strength, but Zhou Yang didn't have a chance to pick them.

At this moment, Zhou Yang processed the various materials left by the dryad and put them into the storage ring, then released the "Golden Winged Thunder Eagle" from the spirit beast ring, and rode on the back of the eagle to leave the place.

But he didn't go back directly to Liuyun Island's world of cultivating immortals, but detoured to the cave that the ghost servant Xu Song had opened in the depths of the wild jungle, planning to go there to see if Jiang Fengxian had returned.

Calculating carefully, it has been nearly a hundred years since he separated from Jiang Fengxian in Kunxu Realm.

For such a long time, it would be enough for Jiang Fengxian to return to the Liuyunzhou Immortal Cultivation Realm from Tiannanzhou Immortal Cultivation Realm via Donghua Continent Cultivation Realm.

But to Zhou Yang's disappointment, when he arrived at the cave in the depths of the wild jungle, he found that the cave was empty, and there was no figure of a beautiful woman, only a tall and beautiful colorful peacock.

"Your master doesn't know how long it will take to come back. If you feel lonely here, you can leave with me first. When your master comes back and sees the letter I left her, he will naturally look for you."

In Jiang Fengxian's cave mansion, Zhou Yang looked at the colorful peacock mount that he left in the cave mansion to guard the house, but he felt like kidnapping.

This colorful peacock can only live in the cave in the valley for hundreds of years, and it is also very lonely.

It is now a fourth-tier high-grade monster, and was trained by Jiang Fengxian since childhood, and its wisdom is no worse than Zhou Yang's "Golden Winged Thunder Eagle". Of course, some people can't stand this kind of life that is equivalent to imprisonment.

Zhou Yang used the token left by Jiang Fengxian to come in through the formation, but he was so happy that he thought it was the master who came back.

Even though it was later discovered that it was only Zhou Yang who came in, it was rarely angry. Instead, it danced around Zhou Yang and yelled to ask about its master's whereabouts.

Although Zhou Yang couldn't understand the birdsong, he couldn't help but feel that the colorful peacock was so smart that he knew how to write and draw pictures on the ground to communicate with him. Therefore, he informed Jiang Fengxian of Jiang Fengxian's whereabouts.

At this time, he deliberately took away the colorful peacock. Apart from seeing the other party as a pity, he also had the idea of ​​"catching the bird as a hostage".

If he just left a letter here, Jiang Fengxian saw it when he came back, and he might not be willing to look down on him.

But with this colorful peacock in his hand, Zhou Yang believed that Jiang Fengxian would definitely not give up on this spiritual pet raised since childhood.

The colorful peacock was really very intelligent. After hearing Zhou Yang's words, he tilted his head and began to think, and a pair of brown eyes kept rolling around him, as if trying to discern whether he was trustworthy.

Seeing this, Zhou Yang couldn't help shaking the Dongfu entry and exit token that Jiang Fengxian gave to him and said: "You don't have to worry about me lying to you, the relationship between me and your master is much closer than you imagined, otherwise she wouldn't I will give this token for entering and exiting the cave to me, I was the one who protected her last time when she formed an alchemy!"

After hearing his words, the colorful peacock seemed to understand something, and suddenly drew two birds with its paws on the ground, two birds flying together, then stared at Zhou Yang with wide eyes.

"That's right, your master is now in a spouse relationship with me. If you follow me, I will never treat you badly!"

Zhou Yang had a bright smile on his face, very happy.

Sure enough, after hearing what he said, the colorful peacock, who was still hesitating, finally nodded, agreed to his proposal, and also took the initiative to lower his body, signaling him to ride on him.

As a mount, doing so is his way of showing trust.

It is absolutely impossible for someone who is not trusted and recognized by it to let it take the initiative to invite it to ride on itself.
