"Ling Bao's storage bag, how could I forget this!" Zhou Yang slapped his thigh and asked if he could just take a look at his storage bag. Maybe the secret technique of concealment is in it.
While Qing Lang was galloping, Zhou Yang took out the storage bag from his arms, put his consciousness into it, and checked the items one by one.
There are dozens of second-grade spiritual stones, dozens of talismans, and some pill bottles. This kid has a pretty good fortune.
"During the battle that day, this guy didn't actually use these talismans. He must have looked down on his own cultivation and disdained to use them. Otherwise, just these talismans would have beaten him into disgrace!"
Staring at these talismans, Zhou Yang couldn't help but feel scared. If Ling Bao hadn't been seriously injured first, the consequences would have been disastrous.
In fact, on that day, Ling Bao also hurriedly used two golden shield talismans at the last moment, but it was already too late. Just as Zhou Yang guessed, if he knew Zhou Yang's true combat power, he would have killed him long ago. In the final analysis, it was his blind confidence that killed him.
There are also a few jade slips in the storage bag, but I don’t know what they contain.
Zhou Yang first put the spirit stones, talismans, elixirs, etc. into his storage bag one by one, and finally only three jade slips were left.
He first took out one of the jade slips, probed it in with his spiritual consciousness, and after counting it, he put it back into his storage bag.
This is a map of Anping City. It depicts the entire Anping City and a radius of two thousand miles. The areas marked on the map and the distribution of each force are very detailed.
This kind of map is absolutely impossible to find on the market, and the spiritual stone is useless. This is also a good harvest, allowing Zhou Yang to have a deeper understanding of Anping City.
The second jade slip records a technique called Hunyuan Shangqing Jue. He had heard from Ling'er that this technique was practiced by the elite disciples of the Xuanfu Sect. Although this technique is better than Xuangang Jue, it is of little use to him, but it is still good as a reference and confirmation.
When his consciousness sank into the third jade slip, his eyes couldn't help but light up: "Innate Return to Origin Qi Condensation Technique!"
This must be the secret Qi gathering technique practiced by Ling Bao.
This technique is not complicated at all. It is divided into four levels. The first level only requires the late stage of Lingtai to practice. After completing the cultivation, you can freely hide your own aura to the desired cultivation level, and practitioners below the early stage of Tianyuan cannot detect it.
The second level requires the peak level of Lingtai. After completing the cultivation, cultivators below the late Tianyuan stage cannot detect their true cultivation level.
The third level requires the early stage of Tianyuan. After it is completed, practitioners below the Golden Core cannot detect its true cultivation level.
The fourth level requires the late stage of Tianyuan. After it is completed, even golden elixir masters will have difficulty detecting the true level of cultivation.
This secret technique is different from the Wood Breathing Technique. After the Wood Breathing Technique is completed, the spiritual power can be completely absorbed into the major acupoints of the body, and the breath will not be exposed, just like grass and trees, which will not show any spiritual power.
However, the innate Qi-Returning Qi Condensation Technique cannot completely control one's own Qi, and can only reduce the cultivation level to the early stage of Kaiyuan at the very least. But this is also a very practical secret technique for him.
With his current level of cultivation, he can cultivate the first level to great perfection. Even early Tianyuan cultivators cannot see through his realm.
I don’t know where Ling Bao got this skill from. Since he dared to go to Wanjian Island alone to work as an undercover agent, he must have reached the second level of cultivation. It would be difficult for practitioners below the late Tianyuan stage to see through his cultivation.
Zhou Yang briefly browsed Guiyuan's innate Qi-condensing technique and arrived outside the gate of Xicheng.
After entering Xicheng, Zhou Yang went straight to the inn.
"You just stayed for a day and then left?" Pu Zheng looked at him, puzzled.
"We have no choice but to leave. People from the Xuanfu Sect should have been to Lingtian. I just passed by them, and there are Tianyuan masters among them. Just in case, we have to change to an inn."
"That's good." Pu Zheng heard the words and knew the pros and cons, so he no longer hesitated.
Myolie also nodded.
The three of them cleaned up, Zhou Yang picked up Ling'er, and the group left the inn and hurried away in another direction.
Zhou Yang is already very familiar with Xicheng. He doesn't need to look at the map to roughly know the distribution of various forces and their prosperity.
The more remote the location he wants to choose, the more sparsely populated the better.
But if there are too few practitioners, it will be difficult to find an inn. They wandered around for two hours before they saw an inn that was smaller than the one last time. It was so small that it only had three guest rooms, and one of them was already occupied.
Several people didn't want to move any more, so they asked for the remaining two guest rooms. He and Pu Zheng lived in one room, and the other room was occupied by two girls. Xing'er was responsible for taking care of Sima Ling'er.
Zhou Yang brewed the medicine according to the prescription, gave it to Ling'er, told Xing'er a few words, and then returned to his and Pu Zheng's room.
At this time, Pu Zheng was sitting cross-legged on the bed, meditating with his eyes closed. It seemed that he was doing the Great Heavenly Cycle and had already entered a state of cultivation.
Zhou Yang did not dare to disturb him, and quietly sat upright on the bed, took out the jade slip, and began to read it carefully.
Practicing the Innate Returning Qi Condensation Technique is much more comfortable than the Wood Breathing Technique. I remember that when Zhou Yang first practiced the Wood Breathing Technique, he was so driven that he almost fainted. After several times in a row, the pain was slightly relieved.
However, everything has its pros and cons. Although Mu Xi Jue experienced pain, the cultivation speed is very fast and the progress is also rapid.
Although the secret technique of Xiantian Guiyuan Qi Condensation is not painful, it is surprisingly slow. According to the jade slip, the first level alone would take at least three months, which was more than ten times slower than his practice of Wood Breath Jue.
After Xiangxi understood the formula of this secret technique, Zhou Yang was confident that he could complete the first level within two months, because this secret technique is very suitable for cultivators of metal and wood attributes, and he himself has a metal-biased fire constitution. , the cultivation speed should be faster than others.
After staying in the small inn for five days, they moved to another hotel every few days, six times in the past month, and the last time they had to live very close to Liberty City.
Because of Zhou Yang's caution, there has been no other situation in these days.
During this period, Zhou Yang was personally responsible for preparing and taking medicine for Ling'er every day, taking good care of her, but until the twenty-seventh day, she still didn't wake up.
During this period, Zhou Yang also fed her some nutritious broth, because Ling'er was only an early stage cultivator of Lingtai. Although she was in deep sleep, she would be fine for a few days, and she would need to eat after a long time.
Ling'er couldn't wake up from a long sleep. Zhou Yang was anxious, but he couldn't do anything.
However, although she didn't wake up, the complexion on her face was getting better day by day, which made Zhou Yang feel a little more at ease.
In the past month, the situation in Anping City has been turbulent and increasingly chaotic. Although the two camps have not started fighting in the city, there have been several assassinations targeting high-level officials from both sides.
Among them, the one with the greatest impact was the murder of a late Tianyuan elder from Cang Beast Palace, and two early Tianyuan deacons were also stabbed to death.
This incident made Fu Lingzi, the master of Cangshou Palace, furious and ordered a bloody revenge.
They suspected that this matter was done by the darkroom of Xuanfu Sect, so the target of Cangshou Palace was Xuanfu Sect. All cultivators of Tianyuan and above in Xuanfu Sect became the targets of their revenge.
Tongzhou Commercial Bank and the Three Saints Sect were not idle either, and experts from both sides also participated in assassination operations against each other.
The large sects were like this, and the large and small forces attached to the two camps also joined in. Tianyuan masters died from time to time in Anping City, which caused the entire attached city to be restless and chaotic. However, the cultivators below the Tianyuan realm were safe and sound. What casualties.
Several small-scale battles also occurred on the boundary street between the two camps. Both sides suffered casualties, but there was no winner.
Under such circumstances, in order to prevent the war from escalating, the two sides tacitly opened a distance on the boundary street and each retreated several hundred feet.
The forefront of Boundary Street spontaneously became a buffer zone. Disciples from both sides hid in protective formations and monitored each other. If anything happened, they would fight.
Although the golden elixir masters from the two camps never showed up and seemed to be deliberately suppressing the dispute, the atmosphere of the war had reached a critical point, and there was only one trigger left to ignite the flames of war in the city.
Contrary to the situation in the city, the battle on the Anping River was extremely fierce. It was a life-and-death struggle with real swords and guns. The two sides fought vigorously, with blood and flesh flying everywhere, and the casualties were very heavy. Dozens of small islands in the river were They were all turned into ruins.
The disciples of Wanjianmen and Five Elements Sect were transferred again and again and turned into the biggest cannon fodder. Their strength was reduced sharply. Each was in a precarious situation and was in danger of destruction at any time.
"Father, the order from Tongzhou Trading Company to mobilize troops has come down again, what should we do?" In the palace where the sect leader Qiang Xian lived, Qiang Xia reported to him with a worried look on her face.
Qiang Xian sat on the throne in the middle without saying a word, his face gloomy and terrifying.
Under the throne, there were four or five elder-looking people standing on both sides.
Compared with a few months ago, Qiang Xian was obviously much older, his hair was a little gray, his eye sockets were sunken, and they were even more bloodshot. It was obvious that he was having a very difficult time.
The dozen or so people in the hall are the only remaining masters of the Tianyuan Middle Stage and above from the Wanjian Sect.
By this time, there were nearly two-thirds fewer Tianyuan cultivators in the entire Wanjian Sect than before, and the elite disciples had suffered even greater losses, with less than 20% remaining. It can be said that Wanjianmen has suffered a huge loss of vitality and foundation. It has lost its reputation as a quasi-first-class force in Anping City.
The current comprehensive strength of the sect is much worse than when it was in its heyday. It is not even as good as a second-rate force, and has been reduced to a situation similar to that of the Ziyuan Sect in Tuyan City.
Nowadays, there are many complaints and rumors within the sect. Many people have questioned Qiang Xian's ability to control him. The Elders are also quite dissatisfied with him and believe that he is fully responsible for the current situation.
The deputy sect leader Shan Chengfeng was unable to leave his retreat during this period, but many elders of the Presbyterian Church had visited his retreat.
At this time, Qiang Xian was already exhausted and miserable. With the coercion of Tongzhou Trading Company and the doubts and dissatisfaction of the disciples in the sect, he, the sect leader, was caught in the middle and was in an extremely bad situation.
And his most trusted elder, Zhong Xianghui, was far away on the battlefield on Jinling Island. If it weren't for his eldest daughter Qiang Xia, there would be no one around him who could tell the truth.
