Cheng Ling walked into the front hall, pretended to be unfamiliar with Zhang Chuyi, and said, "Excuse me, sir, I have been refining the elixir for a long time. I just finished refining it."
Zhang Chu slightly nodded, with a serious attitude, and said proudly: "Oh, you really refined the elixir? In that case, take me to take a look, you guys wait here!"
Cheng Ling said hurriedly: "Yes, sir, please come with me!"
After saying that, he led Zhang Chu towards the backyard. Wen Lan was confused and didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in the gourd. The other monks in the city lord's palace could only wait in the hall because of Zhang Chu's strict orders.
Cheng Ling took Zhang Chu to his private room and placed a layer of ban to prevent anyone from listening to the conversation in the room. Speaking of which, three months have passed since the last time they met to exchange elixirs and materials, and the two have not had any interaction.
Cheng Ling's requirements are getting higher and higher. He no longer purchases materials from the Human Immortal Stage and Virtual Immortal Stage, and starts purchasing materials from the Mysterious Immortal Stage directly. The price of fairy elixirs has skyrocketed, and it is difficult for monks to buy them. Therefore, the transaction volume is not as large as before, and there is no need for frequent contact to arouse others' suspicion.
As soon as he entered the guest room, Zhang Chu told Cheng Ling one by one what had happened recently. This was a routine matter. Cheng Ling practiced hard behind closed doors, while Zhang Chu was responsible for collecting information and intelligence, and was always paying attention to the dynamics on the island.
"Master, there have been several new waves of monks in the past few months, and the number has increased by tens of thousands. I really don't understand why they brought so many monks to the island group. They just want them to practice hard, and the city lord doesn't care about anything. He just wants to retreat. Every time They all sent me to greet them.”
"Well, has the city lord been in retreat?"
"Yes, from the few days after we arrived on the island, Qi Ying entrusted me with all matters in the city. If there were any important matters, he would go to the retreat place to report, but he never left even half a step away."
Cheng Ling was so happy that he glanced at Zhang Chu and asked: "Even Qi Ying feels the pressure of the ring battle. Why do you seem to be fine? Don't you need to participate?"
Zhang Chu shook his head and said: "Of course I want to participate, but now on Island No. 1, I don't know what the other Xuanxian monks are like, and I can't find a direction even if I try hard."
"Are you going to another island to participate in the arena battle?"
"Yes, the rules of battle are like this. I am a monk in the Xuanxian stage. Someone will pick me up and go to the island numbered after 30 to participate in the battle."
Cheng Ling frowned. It would be troublesome for Zhang Chu to leave Island No. 1, but at least he was using it smoothly so far. Then he asked: "After the arena battle is over, can you return to Island No. 1?"
"I don't know about this either. It just depends on whether City Lord Qi will want me back."
Cheng Ling thought in his mind that Zhang Chu must find a way to stay by his side. Many things must be covered by him. First of all, he must ensure that the battle in the arena is foolproof. As for City Lord Qi, he can only do his best and obey fate.
He then asked: "What kind of spiritual root do you have, and what is your best fighting method?"
"I am Jin Linggen, and I am good at using spells on weekdays."
"Is there any magical weapon that I can use?"
Zhang Chu's heart moved, he took out a sword from the storage ring, held it in his hands and said: "Master, I have a magic weapon that I can handle. But I saw you use a sword to fight the enemy before, and the sword is of high grade. I Knowing that you didn’t want to make any publicity, I took it upon myself to acquire this sword for you.”
Cheng Ling took it and took a look, and saw that the long sword was like a pool of autumn water, light blue in color, and felt very comfortable in his hand. It was actually a top-notch fairy weapon.
Zhang Chu explained: "This sword is called Qiu Hong Sword. Because I don't know the master's spiritual root, I chose a sword with no attributes. It can only increase the hardness of the sword and increase the shooting speed by 20%."
Cheng Ling was moved. Not to mention, Zhang Chu was quite considerate. After years of killing, the Dragon Ling Sword has grown extremely fast and has reached the peak of a middle-grade immortal weapon. He was a cultivator at the pinnacle of human immortality, and when he faced the enemy with a mid-level immortal weapon, everyone felt that something was wrong.
Moreover, this Qiu Hong Sword was of excellent quality and was among the top quality among low-grade immortal weapons. Cheng Ling fell in love with it at first sight. He was originally worried that Zhang Chu would not be fully confident in the arena battle, but now that he saw the opponent's thoughts, he decided to help.
After pondering for a while, he said: "Thank you for your kindness. In return, I will teach you a sword technique and a spell. The choice is all yours."
After saying that, he stretched out his finger and pointed it towards Zhang Hu's eyebrows, and two streams of information were continuously transmitted into his mind. The swordsmanship is called Jinfeng Swordsmanship. It is a gold-based swordsmanship that Cheng Ling acquired in the ancient Xuanwu Secret Realm. It is of a very high grade. The spell is the Jijin Dao that he improved.
The two skills were taught together. This was Cheng Ling's gift to him, and it also gave Zhang Chu a choice. If the other party, like Su Yi, decides to go down the road with him and concentrate on practicing swordsmanship, he will teach him everything he has. If not, then there is only the fate between master and servant.
Zhang Chu was so happy that he helped Cheng Ling buy the Qiu Hong Sword with the intention of trying to please him. He originally just wanted to mix in more elixirs, but he didn't expect that the other party was so generous and taught him two fighting skills.
He had never dabbled in swordsmanship, and he couldn't tell what his level was at the moment, but the spells shocked him a little! The Baji Dao spell originated from the Golden Page inheritance. Although Cheng Ling obtained it in the Golden Core stage, this spell is all-encompassing and is not just a simple spell release technique.
As a general outline of a set of spell cultivation, it can also be divided into individual parts to achieve enlightenment. What Cheng Ling taught Zhang Chu was naturally the improved Taoist magic of the separate metal system. Don't underestimate the magic of a single system. It progresses from shallow to deep, layer by layer, and exquisite spells emerge one after another. It seems to have infinite possibilities.
With Cheng Ling's understanding, he still dare not say that he has fully understood the Baji Dao. From this, we can see how powerful this set of spells is.
Before it was time for tea, Zhang Chu felt that his head was full. He was shocked that there was just a sword technique and a spell, but the information inside was so huge. The inheritance given by the master is by no means simple, so you must practice it well.
After accepting the inheritance, Cheng Ling randomly took out an elixir and sent Zhang Chu away. As for how to explain to Qi Ying, he was not interested in knowing. He couldn't even handle this little thing, so he didn't want this kind of younger brother.
After handling the matters at the City Lord's Mansion, Cheng Ling returned to the backyard and continued her retreat.
This time he decided to practice the Nine Meridians Tongxuan Dafa first, and planned to sacrifice the living soul after ascending. However, after arriving at the island group, a series of secrets were discovered one after another, and he wanted to improve his alchemy and formation methods, so he put it aside for the time being.
Another point is that if he wants to escape from the island, he will inevitably encounter the immortal monks in the island group. If he can get their soul sacrifices, the power of the heaven and earth line can be increased by one level. But now it seems that this idea is too unrealistic.
Not to mention that it is extremely difficult to kill the Celestial Immortal monks. Even if they are killed on the island, their essence and blood may still be absorbed by the demon giant to make wedding clothes for others. The most important thing at the moment is to improve one's own combat power. Swordsmanship and mystic comprehension cannot be improved in a short time. The only way is to improve the spell combat power as soon as possible.
He no longer hesitated and summoned a living soul from the space inside his body to begin refining. These living souls have been completely wiped out by him, so that they can be put into the space inside his body. Therefore, the speed of the sacrifice and refining was very fast. In less than four days, two living souls from the Earthly Immortal Realm were driven into the Tanzhong acupoint of the middle Dantian and the Guanyuan acupoint of the lower Dantian.
Next, there are only six auxiliary points left in the second heaven and earth line. Continue the sacrifice, and after five days, the second line of heaven and earth is completely connected! Cheng Ling did not stop, and aimed at the third line of heaven and earth!
After half a month of this, he finished refining all eighteen living souls and continued to open up the two lines of heaven and earth before stopping. Counting the two originally opened, four heaven and earth lines have been opened.
Take a long breath, it's finally over for now! This kind of pain of sacrificing living souls is really unbearable, and every living soul has to be forcibly embedded in the acupoints. He raised his right hand, and two lightning bolts hit the sealing formation in succession, causing ripples.
"Not bad. The shooting speed has been increased by 30%, the spell flying speed is faster, and the power has also been slightly improved. All the hard work has paid off! Although the cultivation level has not been improved, the combat power has been greatly enhanced. I am sure to fight against a monk at the peak of the immortal!"
"The practice of magic has come to an end. The progress of swordsmanship is slow, or will it continue to attack the acupoints? After the Tianxian stage, the nine acupoints of the Hand Shaoyin Heart Meridian have not yet been opened. But now the cultivation has stagnated and has not yet fully integrated into the immortal world. The Way of Heaven. That’s all, let’s continue to deduce the Way of Formation!”
After thinking about it for a long time, I finally decided to deduce the formation. Now we have entered a critical moment, and we are still a little short of breaking through the Immortal Formation Master and reaching the Immortal Formation Master. The improvement was so rapid, thanks to his solid foundation, he was able to advance the level of the formation to the peak of the spiritual formation Grand Master in the star world. In the past six months, I have been adapting to the heavenly way of the immortal world, allowing the immortal formation to fully integrate with the heavenly way and fully exert its power.
There is only one year left, and the first arena battle after arriving on the island is about to begin. At that time, we will have to face many monks. If only the human immortal monks are there, it will be easy to hide ourselves; if we are afraid that the demon giant will send high-level monks to check the situation, we need to be careful.
I will never give up the idea of leaving the island easily. My current strength is not enough, and I know intuitively that I am no match for the Demonic Giant. He needs time, and only by giving himself enough time can he be sure to compete.
After the battle in the arena, you must find a way to go out once, at least to take another look at the level of the phantom formation on the sea.
My mind was completely immersed in the deduction, and all I could see were mysterious lines. His formation level is slowly improving, the immortal world and heavenly ways are constantly merging, his understanding of the formation is getting better and better, and he is making steady progress towards the master of the immortal formation!
Spring turns to winter, and a year passes quickly. Not only Cheng Ling, but also the monks on the island were practicing hard in seclusion. The approaching battle in the arena was like a sudden and unpredictable event, ringing alarm bells in everyone's ears at all times.
"Dang-dang-dang!"
Finally, with a long series of bells ringing, the two-year period was approaching, and the city lord's palace issued an order for the monks on the island to go to the test.
Cheng Ling was also awakened by the sound of the bell. His eyes flashed a dark blue, and countless mysterious lines filled the void. Stretch out a hand and grab it gently, and all the lines disappear without a trace. In an instant, it flashed in his pupils again.
From the appearance of those mysterious lines in his pupils, he knew that his formation path had been completely integrated with the heavenly path of the immortal world, and he had officially entered the realm of the immortal formation master!
