Five days later.
Zhang Liang is raising insects at the Batu Insect Farm in his farm owner's mansion.
After all, there are too many spiritual insects on his body. After countless selections, he selected second-level spiritual insects, and the number reached an astonishing number.
Just talk about jasper cockroach, blood-sucking purple locust and spiritual blood ant.
The number of second-order low-grade jade cockroaches has reached 2408, the number of second-order middle-grade jade cockroaches has reached 93, and the number of second-order high-grade jade cockroaches has reached 5.
The number of blood-sucking purple locusts has reached 1,609 at the lower level of the second level, 71 at the middle level at the second level, and 9 at the upper level at the second level.
The number of second-order low-grade spiritual blood ants has reached 901, the number of second-order mid-grade ants has reached 39, and the number of second-order high-grade ants has reached 2.
The reason why the number of low-grade second-grade jade cockroaches has soared is because too many spiritual insects have been snatched this time. Among them, the number of jade cockroaches is particularly large. Perhaps it is related to the fact that jade cockroaches are easy to cultivate.
Most people can't cultivate second-level middle-grade people, so there can only be a large number of second-order low-grade people.
After all, it is equivalent to all the insect farms in five fairy islands combined. In addition, Zhang Liang himself is very good at cultivating jade cockroaches, and the number of second-level low-grade cockroaches has increased tremendously.
At this point, Zhang Liang was still very slack. If he focuses on keeping insects these years. The number of high-level spiritual insects will only be several times greater than it is now.
As for the first-order spiritual insects, Zhang Liang is too lazy to count them now, especially the first-order middle and lower-grade ones, which number in the tens of millions. Even for the first-order high-grade ones, the number of each category exceeds 100,000.
From now on, Zhang Liang only needs to focus on cultivating second-level spiritual insects. For those below second-level, there is no need to deliberately cultivate them.
At this time, Zhang Liang was preparing the essence and blood of the ferocious beast. Of course, they are not the ferocious beasts hunted outside Biyou Island, but the ones hunted in the volcanic secret realm.
Through the essence and blood of those ferocious beasts, second-level spiritual insects can be quickly created.
Based on the number of corpses of these ferocious beasts on Zhang Liang's body, he judged that it was very possible to at least triple or even five times the number of second-order low-grade spiritual insects on his body.
"Hey~"
At this moment, a spiritual book flew over.
Zhang Liang took it casually and said that it was Yang Xue who came with those mortal disciples with spiritual roots.
Zhang Liang put away the essence and blood of the ferocious beasts, thought for a while, and casually took out a second-level low-grade sea python ferocious beast, and threw it casually on the ground.
With a wave of Zhang Liang's sleeves, the ten-mile cloud of smoke dispersed, and he could only hear his calm voice saying: "Come in."
Outside the owner's house.
Yang Xue: "When you see the owner of the venue later, you must bow down and be respectful. If you lose this opportunity, Aunt Xue doesn't know if you will have another chance in the future."
"Yes, Aunt Xue."
The three teenagers, two boys and one girl, all looked to be thirteen or fourteen years old. Their faces were solemn and their hearts were pounding. They knew that they were about to meet the most awesome person in their lives.
Normally, when people like Yang Xue returned to the clan, the clan would follow the highest etiquette and the family head would personally receive them. But here, even Aunt Xue is so respectful, how dare they neglect her?
After a few breaths, Yang Xue led the three teenagers into the courtyard.
As soon as he came in, he could smell the overwhelming smell of blood. When Yang Xue saw the sea python that was more than ten meters long and thicker than a stone table, she was shocked.
When these three teenagers saw this scene, their hearts stopped beating.
When did they see such a scene? Such a ferocious beast was lying next to Zhang Liang at this moment, with countless spiritual insects gnawing on it. It was obviously dead, which greatly shocked their young hearts.
Yang Xue quickly came to her senses and immediately shouted: "I haven't paid my respects to the mountain master yet."
After being shouted at by Yang Xue, the three teenagers quickly fell to the ground.
"Grassmen Yang Jian, Mu Yue, and Chen Mo pay their respects to the Lord of the Mountain."
"Um!"
Zhang Liang hummed softly and looked at Yang Xue, who quickly said: "Mountain Master, Chen Mo is the genius I mentioned to you, and his spiritual root has reached the eighth level. Yang Jian has a seventh-level spiritual root, and Mu Yue is poor. After a while, I only have level six spiritual roots."
Zhang Liang said calmly: "I think the three of them are about the same age. It seems that they had good luck in those two years!"
Yang Xue quickly responded: "That's true. In the past thirty years, the highest spiritual roots were only level five. It's really an accident that three of their seedlings can appear at once this time."
Zhang Liang glanced at the three of them, and through sensing Qi and blood, he found that Yang Jian's Qi and blood were higher than Chen Mo, who had an eighth-level spiritual root. But Chen Mo's talent should be better than Yang Jian.
As for Mu Yue, her sixth level spiritual root seems to be low, but in terms of starting point, she is much stronger than herself.
Of course, he has the Divine Mirror of the Realm and the Black Fish Department as his backing, which Mu Yue does not have. But it's not impossible to build a foundation with level six spiritual roots, it's just a little more difficult.
She didn't know whether Yang Xue was intentional or not. Although Mu Yue was only thirteen or fourteen years old, she looked pretty and pretty. She was a little taller, so she was definitely a beauty.
To enter the world of cultivating immortals, you must first have the skills.
Zhang Liang now has Tianlang Gong, Immortal Tide Gong, Lingxian Gong, and Taohua Yin, a top-grade kung fu that can be practiced by women.
The Tianlang Kung Fu is really poor, and its effect on absorbing spiritual energy and practicing it is not ideal. Zhang Liang knows this well.
However, in the early stage of Qi training, all the exercises are actually similar. It is in the middle stage of Qi training that the gap can really widen. At that time, it was crucial to have a good technique.
But Zhang Liang is not prepared to teach anyone. To teach people, you have to look at their xinxing and character. I knew nothing about these young men, and what I heard from Yang Xue was not trustworthy. After all, Yang Xue rarely returned to the mortal world.
These young men are all descendants of a wealthy family in the mortal world, and they are also poor children from unusual family backgrounds, so whether they have good character or not has to be seen separately.
Just listen to Zhang Liang say: "I can't say that the talents of the three of you are the best, I can only say that they are not too bad. I will give you two choices now. First, I will send you to Lingxian Palace. Although you cannot directly become outer disciples, But Lingxian Palace will also train you. As for the follow-up, it depends on your own luck. Second, stay with me, but I will not teach you the exercises now. You can only train your body and Let’s start with the knowledge of cultivating insects. When I want to teach you the exercises, I will teach you. Now, how do you choose?"
Among the three people, it was Mu Yue who prostrated herself again without hesitation: "Mu Yue is willing to practice with the mountain master and obey the mountain master's teachings."
Mu Yue has the weakest spiritual roots among the three, so when she came, Yang Xue deliberately made many instructions. One of them was that if she could stay with the mountain master, she must find ways to stay and never be too ambitious.
Mu Yue knew that her sixth level spiritual root was not very outstanding. Even if she went to Lingxian Palace, she would probably not be able to get good teachings. In fact, if it weren't for her beauty, she might not be qualified to be in front of the mountain master.
Therefore, she cherished this opportunity very much. She knew that Zhang Liang was probably the biggest opportunity in her life.
After Mu Yue expressed her determination, Yang Jian immediately prostrated himself and expressed his intention to follow Zhang Liang.
I have to say that when Zhang Liang mentioned the first choice just now, he was really excited. It was an opportunity to directly enter the Lingxian Palace, which countless people could only dream of. If he chooses the first option, he will immediately rise to prominence, his status will be fully fulfilled, a new page will be opened in his family's genealogy, and his descendants will respect him as their ancestor. What an honor this is?
However, Mu Yue bowed her head and bowed, causing him to wake up with a jolt. He thought of Yang Xue's words. There were millions of disciples in Lingxian Palace, and it was extremely difficult to stand out. Most people, such as those with spiritual roots at level six, seven, or even seven or eight, may be outer disciples throughout their lives.
There is only one master of Sunflower Mountain on Biyou Island. It is obvious whether he is easily noticed by the strong among millions of disciples or among hundreds of insect farmers.
Therefore, Yang Jian also reacted quickly and bowed down.
When Yang Jian prostrated, Chen Mo also prostrated immediately. He knew that you should not hesitate about this kind of thing. Once people find out that you are hesitant, you will feel unhappy.
Moreover, now in front of Zhang Liang, if I show my yearning for Lingxian Palace, will it ruin Zhang Liang's face? Will the mountain owner feel that he has underestimated him by choosing Lingxian Palace?
Therefore, Chen Mo also bowed down, but he felt a little regretful, that was the Lingxian Palace! If you can get there, it will be equivalent to the feeling that your life has directly reached the end.
However, the three of them didn't notice that Zhang Liang had been watching them with his spiritual sense when they were making a decision?
Their eyes, emotions, and subtle expressions on their faces could not escape Zhang Liang's observation.
He could see Mu Yue's sincerity, and he could also see Chen Mo's hesitation.
In fact, he quite wanted to send them directly to Lingxian Palace, so as to save himself the trouble.
However, if it weren't for the talent shortage on Biyou Island, and the insect farm would eventually need new successors. After all, Yang Xun is old and has only a few years left to live.
Yang Xue's talent was a bit low. Before she was sixty years old, Zhang Liang didn't expect her to be very successful. It would be pretty good if she could break through to the late stage of Qi training.
Therefore, among these people, I have to try to choose one to succeed them in the future.
I saw Zhang Liang throw away three jade slips and heard him say: "This is a good body-refining method in Lingxian Palace. If you persevere, you are expected to be promoted to the third level of body-refining in this life."
Zhang Liang only said that there is hope. In fact, according to common sense, Yang Jian has a chance, but Mu Yue definitely has no chance. Even Chen Mo, without special circumstances, should have no chance.
Spiritual roots and fullness of Qi and blood are two different things. It does not mean that the higher the spiritual root, the better the effect of body refining.
Zhang Liang's body training is definitely more effective than his qi training. That's because Heiyubu is born as a sea monster race that can train body.
However, body, energy, and blood can be changed day after tomorrow. If they really satisfy Zhang Liang, they may not help him in the future.
At this point, Zhang Liang waved his hand and said: "Okay, Yang Xue, you take three people down and teach the Chong Jing. Remember, you are not allowed to teach any skills without my permission, especially your Taohua Yin."
"Yes, Mountain Master, I don't dare to teach you rashly. However, Mountain Master, you have been in seclusion all year round, and there is not even a person around you to bring tea and water. Mu Yue has learned the art of cooking tea and playing the piano since she was a child in the mortal world, or taking care of the mountain. The Lord’s daily life.”
As soon as these words came out, Mu Yue's face turned red. Yang Jian and Chen Mo were both unfazed. It was obvious that they were either really calm and used to this kind of thing, or they already knew the meaning of Yang Mu Yue's visit.
However, Zhang Liang waved his hand slightly: "I have been in seclusion a lot recently. If nothing unexpected happens, I won't show up often in five years, so there is no point in following me now."
Zhang Liang said, It's not that I don't want to, it's just that this little girl is a bit too young now, and it seems a little guilty to do it now. Of course, I have indeed been very busy in recent years. Once I obtain the fire attribute skills, plus the heavenly spirit liquid and the best spirit stones in hand, my cultivation will definitely improve by leaps and bounds. It is indeed not suitable to bring people around.
Hearing Zhang Liang's clear answer, Yang Xue did not show any disappointment, and even Mu Yue secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, a hearty laughter sounded outside the owner's house.
"Brother Zhang, Brother Zhang, you are so brave. I didn't expect you to come back so early."
Du Feng walked in carelessly, and Yang Xun followed him respectfully.
Zhang Liang chuckled softly: "Am I still fast? When I came back, all the owners of the small insect farms ran away. Unfortunately, my previous efforts were in vain."
"Well, you can't say that. It's just that some spiritual insects were lost. Those insect farmers have been collected. Where will there be other insect farms on Biyou Island in the future? Anyway, I have the final say on the small insect farm in Lingxian Building. Give it to Brother Zhang. Hey, this is...a second-order ferocious beast? Brother Zhang, are you feeding the second-order ferocious beast to insects?"
Zhang Liang was also used to Du Feng's somewhat arrogant personality, and said calmly: "How about cultivating high-level spiritual insects?"
Du Feng clicked his tongue and said, "Why don't you feed it to me too? I've never seen this second-order sea python. It looks strange. How about we give it a try?"
Zhang Liang glanced at Yang Xun, who quickly said: "Mountain Master, Deacon Du, I will arrange for someone to cook it right now."
Next to them, Yang Xue and Mu Yue couldn't help but feel frightened when they heard the second-level ferocious beast. A second-level ferocious beast, isn't that equivalent to a foundation-building overhaul?
At that moment, Mu Yue and the other two people were all dumbfounded. For the mountain master, such ferocious creatures were only used to raise bugs and serve as food and drinks.
At this moment, Yang Xue saw Zhang Liang's guests and quickly called Mu Yue and the others to leave.
Du Feng said in surprise: "Brother Zhang, are you going to accept a disciple?"
Zhang Liang: "Not really. There are a few seedlings appearing in the mortal world. They look pretty good. Let's bring them over for a look first."
Du Feng: "Oh? Brother Zhang thinks it's pretty good, so that means it's pretty good? Do you want to have a name in my Lingxian Tower? As a training experience?"
Zhang Liang smiled and said: "We haven't started practicing yet. Now that we enter Lingxian Tower, they are still not allowed to drift?"
Du Feng waved his hand and said: "Hey! We at Lingxian Tower don't pay attention to how powerful your cultivation is. If your cultivation is not great, you can do it as long as you are shrewd. Such people are so sophisticated! That's up to our Lingxian Tower."
Zhang Liang shrugged: "Since you said so, Lao Du, then if I don't agree, I won't give you face."
After saying that, Zhang Liang looked at the three of them and said: "You heard me, this is Du Feng, the great deacon of Lingxian Tower on Biyou Island. He is only one step away from building the foundation. Thank you quickly."
Yang Xun and Yang Xue, who had not yet retreated, were both happy.
What is luck? This is luck. Originally, he came to worship Zhang Liang's sect, but it turned out that he had the identity of being a disciple of Lingxian Tower. With this identity, he was enough to look down on the mortal world and make his family prosperous.
This is the prestige of the strong.
Here, after Yang Xue and the others left, Zhang Liangcai said: "Lao Du, Master Rao is here."
Du Feng was stunned when he heard this: "So fast? Have you seen it?"
Zhang Liang: "Where did I see it? I ran away at that time, or the insect farm manager told me after I tentatively came back later."
"Ah, Rao Shangxian is very angry?"
Zhang Liang shook his head: "That's not true. Things happen for a reason. Master Rao should be able to understand. I can just go to Lingxian Island to report on my work later. However, since Master Rao is here, it means that the beast tide has subsided. I want to come to the black blade." The Pirates didn’t dare to stay, so I came back.”
"I'm just saying that there are a few immortal cultivators in the mortal world, but why are they so big? You saw Rao Shangxian coming, so you took this opportunity to notify us."
Zhang Liang nodded: "Uncle Rao is here, I guess Lingxian Tower will be here soon to distribute resources."
Du Feng agreed: "That's natural. Brother Zhang, just wait, I can get you a Heavenly Spirit Pill within half a month."
"Well, thank you Lao Du. Come on, let's have two drinks first. By the way, aren't Wang Tai, Chen Yin and Zhao Feisu back?"
Du Feng shook his head: "I don't know, but I guess it will be soon. We have cultivated some influence in the mortal world and are very well-informed. We will definitely be back in less than half a day."
Sure enough, only an hour later, Zhao Feisu arrived first.
An hour later, Wang Tai and Chen Yin also arrived one after another.
I only heard Chen Yin say: "I went to Xianfang specially. In the past few days, it has been a mess. I only came here to meet with you first, and I have to rush back to host one or two."
Zhao Feisu: "Stop busying yourself. It won't be too late to host it again tomorrow. It's not like the Immortal Workshop will stop moving without us."
When Chen Yin heard this, he smiled bitterly, and finally said, "Okay, then we'll take care of it tomorrow."
Wang Tai, who had always been serious about his words, suddenly said: "Everyone, Baimei and the others have fallen. What should we exchange for those contribution points we went to Lingxian Palace?"
Zhao Feisu: "Everyone here should already have the Foundation Establishment Pill. However, the Foundation Establishment Pill can only increase the probability of Foundation Establishment by 30%. I heard that there is a channel-opening pill at the Divine Pill Peak of Lingxian Palace, which can increase the probability of Foundation Establishment by another 10%. But the elixir must be exchanged for contributions. If the Black Blade Pirates Group is reported, maybe we can get a large contribution, which may be enough to exchange for a Tongmai Pill each."
Zhao Feisu looked at Zhang Liang, because those members of the Black Blade Pirates were all in Zhang Liang's hands.
Zhang Liang smiled and said: "This method is very wonderful. Three months later, Uncle Rao asked me to go back to Lingxian Island. If you can trust me, I will cash it in. What do you think?"
"Of course we can trust Shanzhu Zhang."
Du Feng laughed: "Come on, Brother Zhang is doing something, can we still worry about it? Eat meat, eat meat. How rare is this second-level sea python? If you don't eat it, Brother Zhang will feed it to insects."
Everyone: "..."
…
Half a month later.
Du Feng indeed sent a Heavenly Spirit Pill, and the two of them had a drink again.
Zhang Liang naturally has no shortage of heavenly elixirs, but this elixir is rare. You don't have to be able to buy it if you have money, so he just keeps it for now.
Two months later.
Order has been re-established on Biyou Island, and a new law enforcement captain has been assigned to Lingxian Palace, but he only has the strength of the ninth level of Qi Lian. The two major ports also temporarily came to take charge of two ninth-level Qi practitioners.
In the meantime, these people also came to visit, but Zhang Liang did not meet them on the grounds of retreat.
At this moment, two months have passed since the March period mentioned by Rao Yaoyao. The small whale boat has resumed traffic, but there are not many sailings at present, and the number of people taking it is not very large.
Moreover, there were indeed dangers encountered on the way. There was an accident on a small whale boat, and hundreds of passengers on the boat died in the fairy sea.
However, Zhang Liang is naturally not afraid of this. After all, the probability of something happening is small, and since I am at the fifth level of physical training, I will still be there even if the ship sinks.
After Zhang Liang disguised himself, he quietly boarded a small whale boat and headed to Lingxian Island.
Now, it is the ninth appointment at Pinxian Tower. It has been postponed for several months due to the beast tide, and Zhang Liang does not take it to heart.
Zhang Liang made up his mind that after ten appointments, there would be no next appointment.
The last time I was forced to make an oath of heaven, I agreed to go to Pinxian Tower every three years until thirty years.
At that time, my strength was low, and the other party would not have made such an agreement if they had not taken a fancy to my pure Yang body. It seems that he has no ill intentions towards him, but in fact he is just helping them practice.
The last time I went to Lingxian Tower, although I suppressed my cultivation, the benefits received by the other party were genuine, and I guess I had doubts about myself.
Therefore, if he can fool him, Zhang Liang is naturally willing to continue to fool him. After all, although he is not weak now, he is not very strong either.
The fifth level of body refining is not enough for him to stand on Lingxian Island.
Two days later.
This trip was uneventful. Although he encountered three attacks from ferocious beasts, he was defeated by the strong men at the peak of Qi training on the ship.
Yes, in order to ensure the safety of the small whale boat, each small whale boat is now equipped with a peak Qi practitioner.
Loosely repair the coast.
Pinxian Tower.
Zhang Liang entered the grand formation of stealing the sky and changing the sun. It was always dark here, the stars were twinkling in the sky, the lights were brightly lit on the river, and pleasure boats were constantly coming and going.
Although Zhang Liang only comes once every three years, he is easily remembered because of the distinctive scars on his face.
When the guard saw that it was Zhang Liang, he immediately let him go.
In Lingxian Tower, as soon as Zhang Liang came in, the Feitian Dance was being performed here. Even though he had seen it many times, Zhang Liang was still a little embarrassed. This scene is really easy to get intoxicated!
At this moment, Zhang Gang felt a force of energy coming towards him, but Zhang Liang instinctively resisted the force of energy.
After resisting this energy, Zhang Liang realized that he had been careless and the secret of foundation building could not be kept.
This kind of thing is always hard to guard against. Someone is waiting for an opportunity to peek into your body, or even intend to gain insight into your own body. How can you let it go?
Originally, he wanted to hide his strength, but he didn't expect that he would be exposed as soon as he arrived.
Sure enough, the next moment there was a sweet voice, followed by a fragrant wind.
"Mr. Zhang, you're finally here. Our Liuli is already in tears waiting for you."
Zhang Liang smiled and said: "Fairy Hong, every time you say this, why can't you just change the word!"
Fairy Hong immediately lifted up the gauze on her body and said, "That's the truth. If you don't believe me, go and have a look. Your eyelids are swollen from crying."
Zhang Liang smiled slightly: "Then I'll take care of myself?"
"Giggle, go ahead! You have to take pity on our Liuli!"
Zhang Liang went upstairs alone, but Fairy Hong didn't send him off this time. The two of them tacitly understood that they were both building a foundation, so there was no need to hide it.
Zhang Liang climbed up the stairs, and Fairy Hong's face changed slightly: "Sure enough, the foundation was established, and it was established three years ago. No wonder Jade was able to establish the foundation three years ago, and it was this person who co-authored the foundation. The peak of Qi training The first dual cultivation with a strong person who has just been promoted to foundation building, the effect is indeed extraordinary."
"If word spreads about a foundation-building pure Yang body, it will definitely lead to a bloody storm. If Bixia Peak finds out about it, I'm afraid they will just go out and rob people, right?"
After thinking about it, Fairy Hong hurriedly walked to a corner of Pinxian Tower and disappeared from everyone's sight after a while.
After a while.
In a secret room, Fairy Hong went deep into the underground of Pinxian Tower and came to an underground palace. The underground palace was so cold that it chilled her heart.
There is an ice curtain here, and there is a blurry figure behind the curtain.
"coming?"
A clear and capable voice sounded.
"Here we go, this guy has definitely been promoted to Foundation Establishment, and he was promoted to Foundation Establishment three years ago."
"really."
But I saw the woman behind the curtain slowly turning around and throwing something out: "Teach him this second-level top-quality dual cultivation method!"
When Fairy Hong saw this, she immediately exclaimed: "This, you, you want it this time?"
"No, his growth is still too slow. Let me help him speed up."
