Zhang Liang, who thought he had a treasure, naturally would not stay in the library longer, and quickly ran away with the "Great Sun Burning Heaven Sutra".
After wandering around Xiaoxianfang for three to five days and getting a lot of information, I headed back to Lingxian Sect.
In the past few days, what Zhang Liang had heard the most was about the Hidden Dragon Sea. The reason why the three major sects were fighting seemed to be because a strange treasure appeared in a secret realm somewhere, and this strange treasure happened to be possessed by a spirit fairy. The income of the palace owner.
Beast tides and wars all started because of this.
As for how it calmed down in the end, no one knows.
All we know is that the master of Lingxian Palace, Shuiyun Guan, Tianlei Sect, and three golden elixir masters fought a decisive battle against Baishi Reef. They fought so hard that they directly flattened a large area of chaotic reefs near Baishi Reef.
No one knows what happened. Anyway, the beast tide subsided inexplicably this time.
Zhang Liang actually doesn't care about these things, and he has no interest in them at all at the moment.
This treasure is a thing that has a life to take, but may not have a life to use. For example, he currently has a sword hidden in his body. Since it was refined, it has stayed in his body and never came out. It seems that he doesn't bother to be with him.
Therefore, in the absence of strength, having any rare treasures will not help, but once exposed, it will become a source of trouble.
In addition to this, many fishermen and farmers have died on various islands.
According to incomplete statistics, this time, the number of fishermen and farmers who died under the command of Lingxian Palace may exceed one million. Even the outer disciples of Lingxian Palace lost more than 100,000 people. There are nearly 300 fairy islands that have been lost, which can be described as a traumatic experience.
However, it was none of his business. Zhang Liang didn't pay much attention to this matter. He was more concerned about another matter. It was said that a sea monster appeared in this beast tide.
Yes, Zhang Liang heard it right. Through his repeated inquiries, he did find out that there are not only three major sects in the Hidden Dragon Sea, but also the existence of sea monsters in remote places.
During this incident, a small number of sea monsters appeared, seemingly united with Shuiyun Temple and Tianlei Sect.
However, no more information could be found. There is nothing we can do about this. What the people at the bottom can know is always limited.
Moreover, there are many groups of sea monsters. No matter what race the sea monsters in the Hidden Dragon Sea are, they must have nothing to do with the Black Fish Department. Zhang Liang did not ask further.
Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain if someone is targeting you.
Today is Zhang Liang's seventh day in Lingxian Palace.
He contacted Rao Yaoyao through the communication jade talisman.
After a while.
Outside Gui Lai Peak, there is a random hilltop.
There is nothing that can be done about it. The Jade Girl Peak where Rao Yaoyao is located prohibits male cultivators from entering, even if they fly over it. Zhang Liang didn't have a place to stay here, so every time he met, he could only find a random place to meet at Return Peak.
Rao Yaoyao stepped on the sword and came, already so cold and inaccessible. However, Zhang Liang clearly noticed that Rao Yaoyao's eyes seemed to have a touch of vicissitudes of time.
Zhang Liang couldn't help but feel a little sad. Rao Yaoyao must be quite old this year. Naturally, they have known each other for almost thirty years. Even if he is a foundation-building monk, how many thirty years will he have?
Zhang Liang can vaguely judge the physical strength of the second level of body refining through the state of Qi and blood in Rao Yaoyao. As for the foundation building realm, it is not obvious yet. You are higher than him, at least you are in the middle stage of foundation building.
Rao Yaoyao landed on the top of the mountain and glanced at Zhang Liang, feeling a little depressed: "The peak of Qi training? I remember five years ago, you couldn't break through the ninth level of Qi training."
Zhang Liang quickly responded: "Uncle Master, that time five years ago, the disciple survived the catastrophe, and his state of mind seemed to have a breakthrough. For some reason, he naturally broke through the ninth level of Qi training. In the past five years, the disciple has been cultivating diligently, and has never stopped practicing. If you dare to slack off in the slightest, it would have been impossible to break through to the peak of Qi training. Until the beast tide broke out, the disciple and his colleagues on Biyou Island encountered the Black Blade Pirates."
"Oh? Is this why you all ran away without a trace a few months ago?"
Zhang Liang said dumbly: "Well, uncle, we are actually going to the mortal world to avoid trouble."
Rao Yaoyao nodded, seeming to be a little more interested: "Tell me about the process, how you survived in the hands of the Black Blade Pirates."
No, Zhang Liang immediately began to talk about some of the things that happened during that time, mentioning Li Huo's betrayal, leading them into a decisive battle, the fall of Taoist Baimei, Fairy Wumeng and others, Du Feng's second-level A high-grade spiritual talisman, used in conjunction with his use of spiritual insects to ward off enemies.
During this period, Zhang Liang also revealed the information that he had cultivated a second-order high-grade spiritual insect, but he only said that he had cultivated one by coincidence.
But even so, Rao Yaoyao looked shocked.
Once you enter the second-level spiritual insect, it becomes more and more difficult to cultivate. If you want to cultivate a second-level high-level spiritual insect, you must at least have the foundation of a second-level low-level spiritual insect, right?
Rao Yaoyao: "I know that you are quite talented in cultivating spiritual insects, but I didn't expect that you have such talent and can cultivate second-level high-grade spiritual insects."
Zhang Liang quickly said humbly: "It's a fluke, uncle, I am really a fluke."
Rao Yaoyao: "Luck is also strength. This at least proves that you have cultivated second-level middle-grade spiritual insects. How many are there now?"
Zhang Liang said quickly: "Currently, the disciple has only made some achievements in the jasper cockroaches, and has cultivated four second-level mid-level jasper cockroaches. One of them happened to be advanced to the second-level high-level one for some reason."
"Well, the number is not much, but it is commendable. However, even if the Black Blade Pirate Group does not build a foundation, it is indeed okay if you can completely kill a pirate team. At this time, I will tell you The sect will report it and give you some awards. But, what does this have to do with your promotion to the peak of Qi training?"
Zhang Liang said hurriedly: "Uncle Master, there seems to be a disciple of the Tianlei Sect in the Black Blade Pirates. This person knew the Three Versus Hundred Thunder Formation. Fortunately, he was killed by his disciples before the formation could be launched. The disciple found a high-grade spiritual stone and spiritual fruit in his storage bag. After verification, the disciple found that it was actually a golden jade fruit. Later, the disciple borrowed the light of Du Feng, the deacon of Lingxian Tower, to obtain a Heavenly Spirit Pill , with the cooperation of each other, we just reached the peak of Qi training a month ago."
"Golden Jade Fruit?"
"Um!"
"Have you already eaten?"
"Um!"
"It's a waste of natural resources. If you come to Lingxian Palace to exchange for the Golden Jade Fruit, not to mention one Tianling Pill, even ten of them won't be a problem. It's a pity that you have already eaten it. Otherwise, let alone breaking through to the peak of Qi training, I will just help you get it. Building a foundation is not impossible.”
"Uh! Well, disciple...there is also a spiritual fruit here."
"Um?"
Rao Yaoyao's eyes suddenly lit up: "Golden Jade Fruit?"
Zhang Liang shook his head: "That's not true. My disciple went to the library to check and found out that this spirit fruit is a life-blood fruit. It seems to increase your life span by dozens of years."
"Life-blood fruit?"
Rao Yaoyao's eyes flashed immediately. She stared at Zhang Liang closely for a long time before saying, "Actually, you don't have to say it at all, so no one will know. But if you say it, say it. ,what do you want?"
Zhang Liang naturally has a purpose, otherwise he would be so smart as to say that he has something like the Life Blood Fruit?
The Life Blood Fruit may not be too tempting for the sea monster, but for human cultivators, this temptation is simply fatal. This is something that directly increases life span. Who doesn't want to live for decades longer?
Such a life-blood fruit, if released casually, can cause a bloody storm. And Zhang Liang actually told Rao Yaoyao like this. Of course the latter knew Zhang Liang's intentions.
Zhang Liang said: "Uncle Master, I just want to know one thing, that is, besides the Yimai Fruit, are there any other ways to improve your spiritual roots?"
Rao Yaoyao looked at Zhang Liang deeply: "You told me about the Life Blood Fruit just to know this?"
Zhang Liang nodded: "My disciple is devoted to the Tao and is not willing to stop because of his spiritual roots. The Life Blood Fruit is very precious, but even if I eat it myself, it will increase my life span by dozens of years, which is meaningless. But if I can exchange it for The method of improving spiritual roots is far more meaningful than decades of life."
Rao Yaoyao narrowed his eyes: "Give me the spirit fruit. You can't mention to anyone that you got this spirit fruit, because no one will believe that you only got one. Regarding the spirit root, in addition to the Yimai Fruit, there is also the matter of seizing the spirit fruit." The method of giving up, but the method of taking possession of it, is quite dangerous and too evil. As for the others, I need to help you find them, but I may not be able to find them."
Zhang Liang handed over his hand, took out a small jar and handed it over: "Disciple thanks Master Rao."
Rao Yaoyao paused: "Why don't you consider exchanging the Yimai Fruit? I can help you."
Zhang Liang: "The Yimai Fruit is only a one-time use. If the disciple concentrates on raising insects, he is confident that he can make a contribution of 200,000 with his insect raising skills, so there is no need to exchange it for the Life Blood Fruit."
Rao Yaoyao nodded: "Wait for my news."
After saying that, Rao Yaoyao left with his sword.
Seeing Rao Yaoyao leaving, Zhang Liang said calmly: "To be honest, I wrongly blamed you at first. I didn't expect you to be a competent uncle. If you don't come to kill me later, even if Lei Heng's case is exposed in the future, I can also spare your life."
Zhang Liang had his own purpose in taking out a treasure like the Life Blood Fruit.
Now, he may have been targeted by a strong person who can form pills, and this person is probably the master of Lingxian Palace.
Three years later, during the last appointment at Pinxian Tower, he had to go because of the oath of heaven.
At that time, no one knew whether the powerful pill-forming man would take action against him.
But no matter what this person's intention is, he cannot sit still and wait for death.
If this powerful pill-forming man really has bad intentions, he must find a way to escape. When the time comes, Pinxianlou will break his oath first, and he will escape later, and then he will not be affected by the oath of heaven.
And if I really escape, I am afraid that I may not be able to come back in a short time, because the anchor point of the World Divine Mirror will be fixed at Lingxian Tower. Once I return, it will be unpredictable.
Even if a third anchor point is set up, I am afraid that in this world of human immortality, I will be chased all over the street.
Therefore, if the situation came to a point where he had to run away, he would not be able to return for decades at least. So, before that, it is necessary to try whether Lingxian Palace has a way to improve spiritual roots.
Of course, the premise of all this is that Rao Yaoyao is really a qualified guide. If Rao Yaoyao had evil intentions, he would have no choice but to send her to the west.
Now Zhang Liang is confident that he has this ability. Even if the strength is equal or even inferior, it is just a matter of looking in the mirror, so Zhang Liang has almost no possibility of defeat.
One day, two days, seven days.
Rao Yaoyao had been away for seven days. During this period, Zhang Liang wandered around Lingxian Island, as if waiting for something, but did not see it.
Until Rao Yaoyao made an appointment with him again, Zhang Liang saw that she seemed a little tired.
"Uncle Master, what are you doing?"
"It's okay, I read through some classics."
But Rao Yaoyao went straight to the topic and said: "What you want to know about the method of improving spiritual roots, I can only tell you that there is and there is no one. I say no, because in Lingxian Palace, except for the Yi Pulse Fruit and the method of seizing the body, , you can no longer find a way to continue to improve your spiritual roots. The reason why I say that there is is because I saw this sentence in an ancient classical book. In ancient times, the aura of immortal spirits was introduced into the body, which can improve the physical condition and improve the spiritual roots. "
"Fairy spirit aura?"
Rao Yaoyao: "Don't ask me, I only got this sentence. As for what is the charm of fairy spirit, I read all the books and couldn't find this word at all. You don't need to go to the library, I can't find it, you Of course I can’t find it either.”
Zhang Liang's head moved. It's good to have a direction. Is it a fairy spirit? Just because you don't know it doesn't mean others don't know it. For example, Black Ancestor is an old monster who has lived for who knows how many years. I wonder if he knows that.
Immediately, Zhang Liang cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, uncle, for clearing up the confusion. In this case, my disciple has no regrets in his heart."
At this moment, Rao Yaoyao said, "So, you want to give up?"
Zhang Liang was silent for a while without saying anything, but then he heard Rao Yaoyao say: "Lingxian Palace does not exist, which does not mean that Tianlei Sect and Shuiyun Temple do not have it either. Let me remind you that now Lingxian Palace, Tianlei Sect and Shuiyun Temple do not exist. The relationship is very tense. Something big may happen in the near future. If you can keep your composure, you may not have the opportunity to take a peek at the Tianlei Sect and Shuiyunguan Library in the future."
When Zhang Liang heard this, his heart immediately moved. Is the battle between the three major sects not over yet? Why does it sound like you want to fight?
Zhang Liang: "Disciple knows that when I go back this time, I will work hard to break through the foundation building."
"correct."
Rao Yaoyao suddenly said: "I forgot to mention something just now. If you can build the foundation...if you can cultivate to the middle stage of foundation building, that stage is called the marrow cleansing stage. You can use spiritual power to cleanse the marrow or use big medicine to cleanse it." There is a very small probability that marrow can improve spiritual roots. After all, the foundation of spiritual roots is the body's affinity for the aura of heaven and earth. Spiritual marrow is the key to affinity with the aura of heaven and earth. As the quality of spiritual marrow improves, spiritual roots will naturally improve. Of course. , This is very difficult. It is too difficult to improve the quality of spiritual essence through acquired means. But I have to tell you after all, so that you can know."
"Marrow cleansing?"
Zhang Liang was suddenly shocked. Wasn't he about to reach the middle stage of foundation building? If one could obtain the marrow cleansing method, one might be able to improve one's spiritual roots by relying on one's own strength.
Seeing Zhang Liang deep in thought, Rao Yaoyao thought that he found this kind of thing very difficult, and said it as if he had not said it, so he gave a rare comfort: "Don't be too impatient about building the foundation. If you eat the Golden Jade Fruit, now Most of the medicinal properties in the body have not been completely consumed yet, so we will consider it after laying a solid foundation. In addition, are the Foundation Establishment Pill and the Tongmai Pill ready?"
Zhang Liang came to his senses: "This time I have used the contribution points obtained from the beast tide to get it."
Rao Yaoyao nodded: "Don't think that you can sit back and relax just because you have the Foundation Establishment Pill and the Tongmai Pill. The two together only have a four-level foundation establishment probability. Don't think it is very high. In fact, it is not high at all. To establish a foundation, you need to open up the whole body. A slight blockage in the meridians may affect the results of foundation building. Countless people are eventually stuck at the peak of Qi training. Due to a lack of opportunity or age, they are ultimately unable to break through. There are more than 30% of people, If you are unable to do so, but you forcefully build the foundation and cut off some of your meridians, you will end up being the first to build the foundation throughout your life and never be able to improve."
After saying that, Rao Yaoyao took out the book and said, "I won't take your life blood fruit in vain. Here is my experience in building foundations in the past. You can take a look."
"Thank you, uncle."
Rao Yaoyao said again: "Do I need to find a cave for you in the Thirty-Six Meridians? If you have the blessing of the third-level spiritual veins, you will be more sure."
Zhang Liang pondered for a moment: "Uncle Master, I couldn't let go of raising insects after all. Sunflower Mountain is actually not bad, and I still have a few high-grade spiritual stones on my body, so I don't need to cultivate in the thirty-six channels."
Rao Yaoyao nodded: "That's up to you. When it comes to foundation building, the environment that suits you best is the best. Do you need my help with anything else?"
Zhang Liang hesitated to speak, but finally said: "Uncle Master, can I only observe and understand the follow-up of a sword technique by myself?"
"Yes, otherwise if everyone could understand it, Lingxian Palace would have unified the Hidden Dragon Sea Area long ago."
Zhang Liang was a little pity. He originally wanted to learn the second-level swordsmanship, which would definitely be extremely powerful. However, thinking about it, the swordsmanship is indeed ridiculously strong, and it is no less powerful than the fighting technique.
However, Zhang Liang did not force it. Now that he has completely mastered the Yi Sword Technique, if he can observe and practice it again and then reproduce the Yi Sword Technique in the mysterious space, he may not be able to master the subsequent power of the Yi Sword Technique.
Finally, seeing that Zhang Liang was determined to stay on Biyou Island, Rao Yaoyao said: "Since you don't want to come to Lingxian Palace, then Biyou Island will be left to you to take full responsibility! You don't have to give me any profits from the insect farm in the future. Pay it, take it and use it yourself!”
"Thank you, uncle."
…
Zhang Liang said goodbye to Rao Yaoyao, went to Yubi Peak again to observe the mountain for a day, and then hurriedly boarded the small whale boat returning to Biyou Island.
He seemed to still feel that Rao Yaoyao took the life blood fruit but failed to give Zhang Liang more, so he felt a little embarrassed.
However, she actually didn't know, Zhang Liang knew enough.
Just four words of Immortal Spirit Qiyun are worth a Life Blood Fruit. Zhang Liang has to look for it himself, and he may not even be able to find these four words.
Biyou Island.
As soon as Zhang Liangfang returned, he told him about going into seclusion.
Du Feng and others thought that Zhang Liang was going to reach the peak of Qi training, so they understood very well.
Actually.
Morning, Sunflower Mountain.
In front of Zhang Liang's house, on a piece of bluestone ground, there are sixty-four bluestones carved with strange patterns, which seem to be stimulating the aura of the entire Sunflower Mountain Range. This is the Eight Directions Spiritual Ascension Array that Zhang Liang obtained.
Zhang Liang sat cross-legged, with eight high-grade spiritual stones placed around him. In front of him, a drop of clear and transparent water with a medicinal fragrance floated near his mouth. What was it if it wasn't Heavenly Spirit Liquid?
"Gudu!"
Zhang Liang didn't hesitate at all and swallowed the drop of heavenly spirit liquid in one breath. Immediately, he suddenly opened his eyes, and a special kung fu began to work in his body.
Gradually, a strange barrier like a translucent glass cover formed in front of Zhang Liang. Under the pouring sunlight, the glass cover gradually changed from transparent to golden yellow.
Soon, about a stick of incense later, the golden light mask suddenly burned, with golden flames beating here.
In the mask, Zhang Liang's brows trembled, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his body. The terrifying heat energy was quickly absorbed by his body, and turned into golden flames beating on his body.
With the gathering of the surrounding high-grade spiritual stones and the spiritual energy of the entire Sunflower Mountain Range, a dense atmosphere was born here.
Zhang Liang felt that his body was like a funnel, frantically devouring the gathered spiritual energy, and gradually compressing it, transforming from gaseous state to liquid state, and from the liquid state, it gathered in the Dantian.
Zhang Liang has never experienced that kind of cultivation speed, and his body seems to be able to swallow it infinitely.
"It's so fast. It's only the first day. The Dantian spiritual fluid has obviously increased by one drop. Is this the cultivation speed of Tianling root plus Tianling fluid? It's actually more than ten times faster than before."
"The effect is better than expected. It must be the credit of the Great Sun Burning Sky Sutra. This technique is actually somewhat similar to the sun essence fire absorbed by the Vulcan Body. However, the Vulcan Body is a fellow cultivator of three types of fire energy. This Great Sun Burning Sky Sutra, only cultivate one kind of fire energy, and integrate it into the body with spiritual energy, turning it into potential energy."
one day.
Two days.
Three days.
Until, thirty-three days later.
"Buzz~"
On this day, Zhang Liang's Dantian was filled with spiritual fluid, and his pulses spread throughout his body, gathering together but not dissipating. This is clearly a sign of the middle stage of foundation building.
"Only thirty-three days?"
Zhang Liang himself was stunned for a long time. He didn't dare to think that it only took him thirty-three days to improve his magic power from the early stage of foundation building to the middle stage of foundation building.
But even if his cultivation speed increased by more than ten times, it would still be equivalent to more than a year of hard training. It is obviously abnormal to achieve a breakthrough in more than a year.
This means that that day in the Pinxian Tower, I had improved so much in my hazy state that I might even be able to catch up with ten years of hard training.
Of course, the ten years of hard work here refer to the ten years of hard work under the seventh-level spiritual root state, and the ten years of hard work under the current state of the spiritual root, which is comparable to the sky. They are completely quantitative and conceptual.
The liquefaction of the Dantian Qi sea means entering the middle stage of foundation building, followed by marrow cleansing.
In the past, the marrow bath that Zhang Liang needed was also a marrow wash. Through the power of medicine, some impurities in the spiritual marrow were drained out, so as to purify the marrow and enhance the function of the spiritual roots.
Nowadays, it is impossible to cleanse the marrow with big medicine, and Zhang Liang doesn't know how to prepare any medicine.
Marrow cleansing period? It's a pity that I have no experience in marrow cleansing. Rao Yaoyao gave me foundation-building experience and no marrow cleansing experience.
As for other kinds of experiences he gained, Zhang Liang did find the marrow-cleansing experience among the resources of Fang Hui and the Great Guard.
However, Zhang Liang just glanced at it and gave up directly. Because what they choose is spiritual energy refining and marrow cleansing, which is the most common marrow cleansing method and a self-taught marrow cleansing method.
This method can cleanse the marrow, but the effect is average. It can only make people survive the marrow cleansing period and reach the basic potential of elixir condensation.
And this is not what Zhang Liang wants.
"It seems it's time to go find the Black Ancestor again."
If there is anyone who can guide him and is very authoritative, it is undoubtedly Hei Ancestor.
It just so happened that I had a lot of things to ask the Black Ancestor for.
