Wan Qingyou's face darkened. Apparently he understood the meaning of Yang Zhen's question. He said calmly:
"Why, Guan Yang, do you want to question me?"
Yang Zhen picked up the long stick in her hand, pointed it at the flying boat, and shouted loudly:
"Answer my question! Were you already hiding in the clouds before we arrived?"
"So what if it is, so what if it's not?" Wan Qingyou looked disdainful.
"If so, then get out of here!" Yang Zhen said angrily: "As a human race, I watched thousands of people about to be wiped out, but I didn't care. Now that we have repelled the attack of the monsters, you have come out. Who? You have the shame to stand here, get out!"
Wan Qingyou was also angry: "Master Yang, young man, don't be so angry. Our Chongyun Trading Co., Ltd. is just a businessman. I don't have the obligation to help the villagers, nor do I have the ability!"
"Bah!" Yang Zhen scolded: "You are in the middle of foundation building, and you still have magical weapons in your hands. Even if you can't face the attack of the beast tide, casting spells on the flying boat can still relieve the pressure on the village and save the village. Countless lives have been taken. Can’t you do such a small thing?”
Wan Qingyou became angry because of embarrassment: "How do I behave? It's not your turn to teach me a lesson!"
Yang Zhen's eyes were fierce, she drew out her sun-chasing bow, and aimed the arrow at the two people on the boat.
"roll!"
Wan Qingyou looked stunned, and then became furious!
In Chongzhou, no matter where he went, whenever he mentioned that he was the boss of Chongyun Trading Company, he would be greeted with a smile and a warm welcome.
Not like this ungrateful child!
How could this guy not know the background of Chongyun Trading Company?
I am building the sixth level of the foundation. How dare you point your sword at me? Do you think I can't cure you?
However, as soon as this thought arose, he was suddenly startled:
A quarter of an hour ago, the earth-shattering lightning seemed to still be shaking in front of my eyes.
Those were six-headed demon generals. With one blow, they were all either dead or injured!
He believed that even if he showed his trump card, he might not have the ability.
Does this kid really want to fight for his life?
His eyes flickered, and Cheng Youqian, who was beside him, understood what he was thinking, and said cautiously in front of him: "There are many deacons, why do you need to be as knowledgeable as this reckless man?"
Wan Qingyou's heart moved. He, a subordinate who travels all over the country and has a flexible mind, must have other ideas in mind.
Thinking of this, he suppressed his inner anger and waved his sleeves:
"Let's go!"
The flying boat flew away with the two of them.
Yang Zhen slowly lowered the arrow in his hand. After this incident, he and Liang Zi from Chongyun Trading Company were forged.
so what!
Do you want these two guys who are watching from the other side to hang around in front of him and make sarcastic remarks?
I want to be the one who builds the foundation. I need to have clear ideas!
…
Yang Zhen and Zhuge Yu's flying boat chased hundreds of miles in one breath.
Finally, I caught up with the late second-level ghost-faced raccoon on a hill.
Zhuge Yuan ignited a second-level top-grade earth talisman and summoned a hill more than ten feet high, crushing the exhausted monster to death.
The crushed civet was covered in blood and flesh, but its fur and demonic elixir were well preserved. Especially the former, if processed well, it can be made into several excellent second-level water-based talisman papers, and even third-level talismans are possible.
This is Yang Zhen's biggest trophy.
In this battle, countless beasts were killed, no less than 700 monsters, among which there were fifteen or sixteen second-level monsters, basically all these powerful monsters were wiped out.
Without a demon general taking the lead, it would be difficult to organize a large-scale beast tide with just some first-order demon beasts.
This battle will ensure that Aishan Village will be safe for at least thirty years.
When everyone returned to Aishan Village in triumph, a flying boat was hovering over the village.
Yang Zhen frowned, thinking that someone was blind, but she saw the flying boat approaching from a distance.
A black-faced man on the bow of the boat greeted loudly: "Master Yang, thank you for your timely rescue, so that our Aishan Village can be saved. I cannot thank you enough for your kindness. Please accept my gratitude from Black Tu Woming!"
After saying that, he knelt down and kowtowed on the boat. At this time, the distance between the two sides was still hundreds of feet. Even if Yang Zhen wanted to stop it, she could do nothing and had to accept it.
After a while everyone gathered together to talk. The leader of the Black Earth Tribe told the boy that according to this, another village two hundred miles away was also attacked by a tide of beasts. With the power he had at the time, he could only rescue the family nearby, and Aishan Village had to resign itself to fate.
"Fortunately, Master Yang arrived in time. And the spirit stone gun is really easy to use. It made great achievements in dealing with the monsters this time."
"Master Yang," he said emotionally, "This is all to help you. This is a great kindness and kindness, and I will remember it deeply from Heiwo Township and will never forget it!"
After saying that, he knelt down again and kowtowed heavily.
This time he used his true energy to spread his words throughout the village. In an instant, all the villagers in Aishan Village knelt down and shouted in unison:
"Many thanks to Master Yang for the rescue! I wish the Master a smooth journey to immortality and eternal blessings!"
Thousands of people chanted, including old people, children, strong men, and girls. It was like the trickling streams in the mountains gathered into a river, cheering in front of the young people for a long time.
This is a river flowing with gratitude, carrying the wishes of countless people.
"Crack!" Yang Zhen suddenly felt a sound coming from her dantian, as if a barrier somewhere was crumbling under the wash of the river.
There was spiritual energy around him that was attracted to him and circled back and forth around him.
This is--
An opportunity to build a foundation!
Yang Zhen was overjoyed!
After reaching the perfection of Qi training, monks will try their best to find opportunities to build their own foundation, so that they can use the most perfect state to attack the first important pass on the long journey to immortality.
It's just that the search time sometimes lasts for several years, or even more than ten years. Some people only need a few days or dozens of days.
Yang Zhen had just reached perfection in Qi training half a month ago. According to his estimate, it would take half a year to build the foundation even at the earliest.
You should know that with Zhao Yue'er's talent, it took him nearly a year to wait for this opportunity.
I never expected that it would come so quickly!
why is that?
For a short moment, he was thoughtful.
As early as five years ago, when Zhao Beiqing asked himself why he practiced Taoism, he had already made up his mind to "protect" Taoism.
I will do my best to protect my loved ones and the world.
The greater the responsibility, the greater the ability, and the heavier the responsibility of guardianship.
Today, what he is doing is protecting the people of this county and practicing his Taoism.
The sooner the Taoist heart is established and the sooner you implement it unswervingly, the more opportunities you will have for advancement.
This is the rule of heaven.
So today, when he had repelled the beast tide and protected thousands of people in Aishan Village, the opportunity for him to build the foundation came naturally and fell into place.
It’s time for me, Yang Zhen, to build my foundation!
Thinking of this, the young man felt excited!
…
Although the opportunity to build the foundation had come, Yang Zhen still endured it for more than ten days.
During these ten days and nights, he commanded this spaceship with 300 people to fly back and forth in Wushui County, rescue people everywhere, and eliminate countless monsters.
Chunan Town also encountered a wave of Dao beasts, but under the command of Zhang Qianfan, three thousand spirit stone spearmen almost crushed the monster beasts.
After that, Yang Zhen even took the spaceship to Chengbu County to support a battle.
After ten days of this, the tide of beasts that ravaged Wushui County and even Wushan County finally gradually subsided.
During this beast wave, Wushui County became the only county in Wushan County, and even in Chongzhou, that was not affected by the beast wave, and entire villages and entire villages were not wiped out.
In the history of medium-sized beasts, this situation is rare.
This is a remarkable achievement.
One of the important factors was that Yang Zhen distributed the leased spirit stone guns to various villages and towns before the beasts came to help them withstand the initial wave of attacks by the beasts until reinforcements arrived.
In the battles with monsters again and again, and in the gratitude of the villagers after victory after victory, Yang Zhen felt that her opportunity to build a foundation was like the fruits of autumn, becoming more and more ripe!
…
On the first day of April, it has been two full years since Yang Zhen came to Wushui County to take up the post of director of the county museum.
On this day, Zhao Yueer came to Wushui County from Wushan County and brought him an unexpected surprise——
Colorful clouds!
The pretty maid has spent less and less time with Yang Zhen in the past two years. She has been supporting a large stall in Yunya Town by herself, which makes the young man feel more affectionate.
The master and servant accompanied him to travel around the mountains and rivers, and spent two days and two nights relaxing.
The starting point of the taste is insignificant.
The whole body of the young man is adjusted to the best condition inside and outside.
On April 3, Yang Zhen went into retreat.
…
From the first to the ninth level, a Qi-training monk needs to open up a total of sixteen meridians in [human], [earth], and [heaven].
The width of each meridian has expanded from the initial double to four times the ninth level of Qi training, which is sixteen times the cross-sectional area.
In other words, under normal circumstances, the thickness of a monk's spiritual energy at the ninth level of Qi training is sixty-four times that at the beginning! The casting speed is sixteen times that of the former. Of course, the latter can increase this rate through continuous practice.
This is not the end.
After reaching the perfection of Qi training, the area of the meridians will continue to double, reaching the original thirty-two times.
The thickness of the spiritual energy is thus increased to one hundred and twenty-eight times, and the casting speed is also thirty-two times!
So, what about foundation building?
The monks need to go through two steps to build the foundation.
The first step: [Expand]!
That is to say, all the meridians will continue to double in size, reaching sixty-four times their original size!
This process must be completed within a few hours, or at most several days and nights, of foundation building, otherwise the time will be extended and once the meridians are stabilized, it will not be conducive to subsequent foundation building.
It's just that the meridians are expanded to thirty-two times. For many monks with unstable foundations, especially those who take the Five Zang Pills, the Barrier-Breaking Pills, and the inferior Yuan-Building Pills indiscriminately, thirty-two times is basically the limit. If they want to expand further, , it is very likely that the meridians will be ruptured, the cultivation will be damaged, and even become a useless person!
Therefore, many monks can only stop at this stage throughout their lives, with no hope of a great path.
Only those monks with solid foundations and tough meridians can withstand the test of rapid expansion of meridians in a very short period of time.
After passing this level, we come to the second level of foundation building - [Shrink]!
The so-called contraction means that all meridians shrink rapidly, until they are as wide as the first level of Qi training.
It may seem like they are back to the starting point, but in reality they are quite different. During this process of expansion and contraction, the strength of the monk's meridians is no longer the same as when he first started practicing Qi.
The more important function of this compression process is to compress the spiritual energy in the meridians into spiritual liquid.
Eight times the width of the meridian is compressed into one time, which is equivalent to the spiritual energy contained in it being completely compressed to sixty-fourths of its original size.
Theoretically, this compression ratio is not enough to completely compress spiritual energy into spiritual fluid.
Therefore, the spiritual liquid in the meridians of the monk who has just established the foundation is actually in an under-filled state.
At this time, a large amount of spiritual energy from the outside will be absorbed to gradually fill the meridians.
In order to achieve the effect of compressing it into spiritual liquid, different sects have their own methods, which are guided from the Dantian.
I won’t go into details on this.
…
Let’s talk about Yang Zhen.
First of all, the retreat location he chose was very different from ordinary people.
Most ordinary monks choose caves or spiritual springs with abundant spiritual energy to ensure the supply of spiritual energy during the first step of meridian expansion and when the final foundation is completed, so as to avoid failure.
Of course, you can also choose the spirit gathering array, but that requires at least a dozen middle-grade spirit stones, and the cost is far more than that of the cave.
However, Yang Zhen is not short of spiritual stones.
He set up the Spirit Gathering Array in Aishan Mountain, not far from Aishan Village.
Building a foundation in a place where you find opportunities to build a foundation will have certain benefits in the future.
So in comparison, those spiritual stones are not worth mentioning.
Zhao Yue'er was protecting the law two miles away, and Zixue also rushed over to watch the fun, so there was no need to worry about safety.
Yang Zhen closed her eyes and sat down. After adjusting her breath, the spirit gathering array was activated.
At the same time, he was running the sect's mental method, and with a thought, he no longer suppressed the desire that surged from his dantian.
The rich spiritual energy quickly enveloped his whole body, and the figure disappeared in an instant, leaving only a large white mist in the middle.
In the white mist, Yang Zhen took out a top-quality foundation-building pill, opened her mouth and swallowed it, causing the sixteen wood-system meridians to circulate.
It was as if the gate of a reservoir full of water was opened wide, and a large amount of spiritual energy surged into the meridians, squeezing them to swell and stretch...
There was a slight swelling pain.
Yang Zhen was unhurried and followed her heart. A trace of chaotic energy was drawn from the Niwan Palace and wandered among the sixteen meridians, quickly repairing the extremely small cracks.
Soon, driven by the mental power, all the wood meridians doubled in size.
Immediately afterwards, Yang Zhen took out another top-quality foundation-building pill and stuffed it into her mouth.
The thoughts are transferred to the other sixteen water meridians.
There are only four fire meridians, and only four [human] meridians have been opened up. The width of the meridians is only twice the original, and they will not participate in this foundation building process.
His water meridians had also reached the perfect state of Qi training, and were rapidly expanding under the stimulation of the Foundation Establishment Pill.
The energy of chaos continues to swim.
The water meridians also doubled in size.
Yang Zhen let out a sigh of relief, not knowing how much time had passed.
After mobilizing the energy of chaos and checking all the wood and water meridians again, the young man's energy sank into his dantian and he began the second step of foundation building.
After many people complete the first step, there are actually hidden wounds all over the meridians. Once they start to compress the Qi, the wounds are likely to be further expanded or even broken, and all the previous efforts will be wasted.
Yang Zhen did not have this worry. The energy of chaos ensured that all his thirty-two meridians were intact.
His journey to build a foundation is better than a leisurely stroll.
I don’t know how long it took, but all the meridians seemed to become one long thin line in my consciousness.
Its width is almost half that of the fire meridians next to it.
This is exactly the original width of the meridians!
A lot of spiritual energy swarmed in!
There seemed to be traces of liquid flowing in the thin meridians.
A few weeks later, there seemed to be a "ticking" sound coming from the Dantian.
A drop of crystal clear spiritual liquid settled in the dantian!
Yang Zhen, build the foundation!
…
It took him three days and three nights to build the foundation this time.
After waking up, the boy's whole body was full of mana. As soon as he thought about it, several wooden thorns hit the boulder in front of him, like rain hitting banana trees, making a series of crackling sounds.
The speed is at least three times that of perfect Qi training.
The spiritual energy turns into liquid, and the casting speed is indeed faster!
The young man smiled faintly, pulled out the sun-chasing bow from the space, and pulled it hard. The bow string was stretched to the maximum, but he still felt that his strength was not exhausted.
This second-level low-grade treasured bow had been with him for several years, but today it was finally out of date.
With a thought in his mind, he took out a new sun-chasing bow that he had already prepared, and shouted loudly, the bow was like a full moon!
This is a second-level top-grade treasure bow. Now in his hand, the power of its shot is no less than a strike in the later stage of foundation building!
Yang Zhen's consciousness extended, and it was like a huge black cloth in the distance, being opened one after another, reaching two miles away.
That was his latest spiritual consciousness distance, a full two miles, twice as much as the first level of ordinary foundation building!
He saw Zhao Yue'er and Zixue, both of whom were looking in his direction happily, obviously disturbed by the movement of the spell cast just now.
"Haha!" The young man felt happy in his heart and became more playful. He loosened his hand and the arrow flew two miles away...
The shooting star chases the moon, so fast!
…
Three days later, an official document from Chongyun Palace was placed on the juvenile case desk.
According to sect rules, foundation-building monks are generally not allowed to hold county office positions.
Although I feel reluctant to leave Wushui County, I still have many ideas that have not yet been implemented in this area.
In particular, there is still no clue about the bridge across the river that he once promised.
Yang Zhen still submitted her resignation to Chongyun Palace the day after the foundation was established.
Now, the official reply has arrived.
Immediately, I will no longer be the owner of this place! The young man sighed softly and picked up the jade slip.
Suddenly, his eyes widened with an expression of disbelief.
The text of the jade slip contains two large characters -
"No approval!"
Yang Zhen didn't know whether she was happy or curious for a moment. She continued to look and saw the jade slip writing:
"Next month, representatives from various countries in the Eastern Region will gather in Wushan County. The county's personnel transfer has been temporarily suspended to welcome guests from all countries..."
