Breathing the fresh air outside and looking at the red sun on the horizon, Zhang Ze felt so passionate that he couldn't help but let out a long roar!
The sound spread far away and echoed in the valley.
"My cultivation has entered the golden elixir stage, and I feel that my body has indeed changed a lot."
In this level of demonic realm, spells are generally divided into two categories. One is the [Xuantian Heart Technique], which is a cultivation spell that specifically improves the realm of cultivation.
Zhang Ze has observed that as the level of cultivation increases, the physical attributes also increase overall.
To put it simply, it means higher defense value and health value, and more magic value and strength value.
However, this type of mental method cannot improve combat effectiveness, and practitioners need to learn another attack spell.
For example, Han Li used the "Thunder in the Palm" before. Through this attack spell, he released the energy in his body, also known as "spiritual power", to achieve the purpose of attacking the enemy.
Zhang Ze didn't know how effective the adventurers' original magic skills were in this level of demonic realm. He could only find out after asking Yiye Zhiqiu and Yaoguang.
In addition, in addition to attack spells, magic weapons are also indispensable in battle.
The cultivator inputs the spiritual power in the body into the magic weapon, and then uses his thoughts to control it to fight the enemy.
However, magic weapons are different from the weapons used by adventurers. They are both swords. The swords used by adventurers can only perform physical attacks such as chopping, slashing, and stabbing. However, the swords in magic weapons can fly with one sword and transform ten thousand people with one sword. Swords, killing enemies from a thousand miles, etc.
Therefore, magic weapons are more versatile and more powerful than weapons.
"I can use [Summoning Technique], but it's best to get a magic weapon for self-defense." Zhang Ze looked at the white clouds on the horizon and thought to himself: "Where can I get a reliable magic weapon?"
"Rakshasa."
At this time, a figure slowly walked towards Zhang Ze in the distance. It was a half-life dream. Behind her was Pangpang. This guy could walk upright like a human. He also held a bamboo in his hand and ate while walking.
"Congratulations on entering the golden elixir stage."
Bansheng Meng looked Zhang Ze up and down, and she could no longer see Zhang Ze's cultivation level, which meant that Zhang Ze's current cultivation level was higher than hers.
Zhang Ze smiled and said: "Thank you."
After a pause, he asked the question he had always wanted to ask: "Half-life dream, there is something I want to ask, why don't you continue to practice? In three thousand years, you can cultivate yourself to the highest level."
Bansheng Meng's cultivation has been stuck in the foundation building stage, and he will never practice again, which makes Zhang Ze puzzled.
"Because I don't want to." Bansheng Meng shrugged and said, "You don't know the situation of Xuantian Sect, let me tell you."
Zhang Ze nodded slightly, and then heard Bansheng Meng continue to say: "Xuantian Sect is the strongest righteous sect in the world of Xianxia. The reason why it has such prestige is because of the hard work of its disciples outside."
"You enjoy the resources and favors of the sect. When you become stronger, you will naturally repay the sect."
"So the Xuantian Sect stipulates that for all disciples who have reached the Golden Core stage or above, the sect will regularly arrange tasks, such as going down the mountain to subdue demons and eliminate demons."
"This is a mandatory requirement that cannot be refused and must be completed, even if you die outside in battle! If you escape, you will be treated as a traitor to the sect and beheaded!"
Zhang Ze understood everything when he heard this: "So you haven't improved your cultivation because you don't want to become a pawn of the sect?"
Bansheng Meng nodded and said: "Yes, I just want to enjoy a peaceful life and don't want to go out and fight. If I improve my cultivation, I won't be able to stay here in the future."
"So that's it." Zhang Ze understood in his heart.
The reason why Bansheng Meng chose to become a lost person and hide in this animal pen was because she wanted to stay away from the mortal world and live a peaceful life. Everything in the outside world had nothing to do with her.
But if she improves her cultivation level, she will have to complete the tasks assigned by the sect, and this kind of life will no longer be available to her.
"Now that you have reached the golden elixir stage, the sect should arrange tasks for you soon." Banshengmeng came over, handed Zhang Ze a green rope, and said: "This is what Elder He asked me to give to you. .”
"What is this?" Zhang Ze took the green rope with curiosity.
[Trapped Beast Vine (Magic Weapon)]
Quality: B
Special effect: Tie a target for 10 minutes.
Durability: 50/50
Note: This item cannot be taken out of the 36th level of the Demon Realm.
…
Seeing the properties of the rope, Zhang Ze's face showed surprise: "Is this a magic weapon?"
When he took over the [Trapped Beast Vine] just now, he had a special feeling, as expected. This is no ordinary rope.
"That's right." Bansheng Meng nodded and said: "In three days, all members will have a martial arts competition. Elder He gave this magic weapon to you, firstly, because you are one of his favorite disciples, and secondly, he hopes that you I can compete for him and the Spiritual Beast Hall in the martial arts competition. Especially to show Cang Songzi from the Holy Fire Hall that his apprentice is no worse than Cang Songzi."
Zhang Ze nodded. Elder He was usually very nice to him, and now he gave him a magic weapon. Naturally, he wanted to help Elder He fulfill his wish and make the Spirit Beast Hall proud in front of the entire sect.
"The method of using [Trapped Beast Vine] is very simple. You just input your spiritual power into it. You will be able to operate it proficiently after practicing a few times, so I won't go into details."
Bansheng Meng stretched out his hand to Zhang Ze and said: "From now on, your identity and status will become higher and higher as your cultivation level increases. Of course, you will also become unable to control yourself."
"If nothing else, the chances of us meeting each other will be less and less in the future. I wish you can pass through this demonic realm safely and realize your ambitions."
Zhang Ze shook hands with Ban Sheng Meng and watched her and Pang Pang go away.
Everyone's choices are different. She dreams of spending her whole life in an ordinary way. This is the place that suits her best.
And Zhang Ze still has more and more important tasks to do, so he must cheer up and improve himself as soon as possible to deal with future crises.
After leaving the retreat, Zhang Ze walked down the mountain, sending messages to everyone on the team channel as he walked.
[Rakshasa]: Everyone, I’m out of seclusion and have reached the golden elixir stage!
[Giant God]: Congratulations to Brother Rakshasa, you can finally use [Summoning].
[Knowing Autumn Overnight]: I haven’t seen you talk to you for more than half a year. I miss you so much, haha.
[Moonlight Bunny]: Brother Rakshasa, I miss you so much!
【Escape】: Brother, congratulations!
[Use the knife without emotion]: To be honest, Rakshasa, you were too slow this time. Many of us here have already entered the Golden Elixir stage.
[Yao Guang]: Yes, I entered the golden elixir stage a month ago, and now I can use [Fire Feather], which shocked all my fellow disciples, hahaha.
[Liu Yueying]: Congratulations, and I have another piece of good news for you. Master will take me to your Xuantian Sect to observe the ceremony in three days. Maybe we can meet!
"Watching the ceremony?" Zhang Ze was stunned for a moment and immediately asked: "What do you mean?"
[Liu Yueying]: Isn’t your Xuantian Sect going to hold a martial arts competition for all members? Almost all the righteous sects were invited to watch the ceremony, including my Jade Lady Palace.
Zhang Ze was very surprised: "The all-member martial arts competition is a martial arts competition among the disciples within Xuantian Sect. Why should outside sects come to watch?"
[Knowing Autumn in One Night]: I guess this should be a propaganda strategy of Xuantian Sect. Taking advantage of the opportunity of the all-member martial arts competition, let other sects see the strength and style of Xuantian Sect's new generation of disciples.
[Use the knife without emotion]: Huh, I think it’s more than that. Xuantian Sect may also have the intention of intimidating and establishing its power. It wants to tell other sects that Xuantian Sect’s status cannot be shaken!
Zhang Ze thoughtfully said: "This is the Jianghu, using power to suppress others and intrigues."
After everyone chatted for a while, Zhang Ze found that the little princess Qian and the irritable Dragon King had not spoken, so he asked everyone out of curiosity.
[Little Bird Yiren]: The little princess has not been online. She is very depressed now because the Dragon King said that he wants to become a monk. He will stay in the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple as a monk and will not return to the real world.
[Rakshasa]: Huh? Wouldn’t that mean you have to be a lost person?
When Zhang Ze thought of the irritable Dragon King in front of the Buddha statue, bald, banging the wooden fish while shaking his head and chanting sutras, he felt extremely inconsistent.
[The Melancholy of the Sky]: Yes, we are worried about this matter.
[Giant God]: Alas! Dragon King has been offline ever since he became a monk. We tried to persuade him several times, but he seemed determined to become a monk.
[Knowing Autumn in One Night]: A few days ago we were still discussing whether we should go to Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple to kidnap him out, but we were afraid that we would not be able to defeat the monks inside.
[Use the knife without emotion]: That’s for sure. A few of us are only at the Golden Elixir stage, and the abbot of Wanfo Temple is said to be about to undergo a catastrophe. Do you think we can defeat him?
[Liu Yueying]: However, we still have one chance.
[Rakshasa]: Are you talking about the Xuantian Sect’s all-member martial arts competition this time?
[Liu Yueying]: Yes, our Jade Girl Palace has been invited to watch the ceremony. Wanfo Temple is stronger than Jade Girl Palace, so Xuantian Sect will definitely invite them.
[Giant God]: Yes, the righteous sects will all give face to Xuantian Sect, and the abbot of Wanfo Temple is even less likely to offend Xuantian Sect. They will definitely go.
[Moonlight Rabbit]: That’s great. As long as we see Brother Dragon King, we can definitely convince him to change his mind.
[Knowing Autumn Overnight]: I hope so, otherwise, the little princess may be heartbroken.
After chatting with everyone for a few more words, Zhang Ze exited the team channel and walked through the dense forest in front of him to reach the cabin.
"I don't know how the second and third brothers are doing now."
Zhang Ze thought of Han Li, Li Xun and others, smiled, and sped up his feet.
Just when he walked into the dense forest, he suddenly frowned: "This aura... monster?"
Turning his head, Zhang Ze looked into the depths of the forest. He felt a vague evil spirit floating in the forest.
"Would you like to take a look?"
Zhang Ze weighed it in his mind for a moment, and finally decided to try the magic weapon in his hand, so he immediately chased in the direction from which the evil spirit came.
The vegetation in the dense forest is dense and the sunlight cannot penetrate, so the light is very dim.
Zhang Ze could only vaguely see a green figure running rapidly a few hundred meters ahead, and the evil energy came from it.
The other party seemed to have noticed that someone was following him, and immediately accelerated his speed, and within a short time he had distanced himself from Zhang Ze.
The road in the dense forest was difficult to walk, Zhang Ze couldn't increase his speed, couldn't lock on the target, and couldn't use [Trapped Beast Vine], so the monster finally escaped.
Zhang Ze considered summoning the Dark Dragon King and chasing him in the sky, but after thinking about it, he gave up the idea.
Without even seeing the opponent's appearance clearly, it would be unwise to attack rashly. Who knows what kind of strength that monster is?
Pouting his lips, Zhang Ze secretly said: "You can run fast."
Returning to the forest path, Zhang Ze continued to move towards the hut, and after a while, he walked out of the dense forest.
Not long after Zhang Ze walked out of the dense forest, a girl in green clothes quietly appeared from the crown of a big tree. There was a trace of doubt on her young and pretty face. After a while, she turned around and faced Dashed away in the other direction.
The girl in green came to a valley, where three people were standing waiting for her.
The first man was wearing a black gown and a grimace mask, standing with his hands behind his back, exuding a suffocating sense of oppression.
To the left of the ghost-faced man is a tall, middle-aged man with two fists as big as millstones, which are extremely out of proportion with his body.
The person standing on the right was the scholar in white who had tried to snatch the elixir from Zhang Ze, Han Li and others. His right arm sleeve was empty and fluttering in the wind. It was obvious that the broken arm had not recovered.
"father!"
The girl in green flew down in front of the three people and said respectfully to the ghost-faced man: "My daughter has already investigated. This area of Xishan is where the outer disciples live. It is not important, so the defense is the weakest and can hardly be seen. The patrolling disciples of Xuantian Sect have not set up any powerful defensive formations. But..."
"But what?" The ghost-faced man looked at the girl in green and asked, "Abi, you are a little nervous. What happened?"
Abi reported truthfully: "On the way here, my daughter was followed by a disciple named Xuantian Sect. Fortunately, my daughter ran fast, otherwise he would have caught up with her."
"Oh?" the ghost-faced man said, "Is the opponent very strong?"
"Probably at the Golden Core level." Abi said, "I don't know why, but this person gives me an unfathomable feeling. If I had fought with that person at that time, I'm afraid I would be the loser!"
The middle-aged man and the scholar in white both looked surprised. Although Abi was not very old, she was the daughter of the Ghost King and her strength was comparable to that of masters in the early Nascent Soul stage. How could she be afraid of a Golden Core monk?
The middle-aged burly man laughed and said: "Is the lady too cautious? She is just a golden elixir stage monk, and I, Qing Xiong, can defeat three of them! The lady is much more powerful than me, how can I not defeat you?"
The scholar in white also smiled and said: "Qing Xiong is right, the young lady is too modest."
However, the Ghost King took it seriously and shook his head and said: "Xuantian Sect is the largest sect of the righteous way. There are crouching tigers and hidden dragons in the sect. Don't underestimate the enemy!"
His eyes fell on the highest peak in the distance, where there were many buildings and magnificent palaces looming among the clouds and mist, like a fairyland.
"We have only one purpose in sneaking into Xuantian Sect this time, and that is the Immortal Killing Sword."
The Ghost King retracted his gaze and said in a deep voice: "Unless you have to, try not to cause unnecessary problems, so as not to disturb the situation."
At this moment, several more figures came towards this side at extremely fast speeds. The scholar in white looked over and whispered: "Master Ghost King, people from the Huanxi Sect are here!"
