The three groups of people are mainly responsible for patrolling at night, and the patrol area is naturally mainly located on their own boundary street.
The rotation starts tonight, and Hu Zhiran will lead the team first after sunset.
Previously, most members of Team Thirty-Six had to return to Sanhuju for the night, leaving only two people on duty at the station.
Starting from today, everyone will be stationed here, which makes Tie Hu and the three people in charge of the internal affairs of Team 36 very busy. They have to clean out rooms that are not usually used, and have to go out to purchase daily necessities and food.
In the evening of that day, Tiehu and the others prepared a large table of dishes. After all the members of Team 36 had a delicious meal, Hu Zhiran took Zhongming and the others on their first patrol.
Zhou Yang is on duty after noon tomorrow, so he has nothing to do today, so he meditates in his room.
After nightfall, he first ran the Xuan Gang Jue for eight days. This technique is already at the peak of the fourth level, but it has never made a breakthrough.
Under normal circumstances, Ziyuan Sect disciples who have reached the early stage of Tianyuan cultivation must at least reach the peak of the Lingtai before they can practice the fifth level. Therefore, Zhou Yang is not in a hurry. The best result is that it will happen naturally.
Although he has not broken through to the fifth level, the Xuan Gang Jue is running very smoothly at this time, much faster than usual. At this time, coupled with the Fire Spirit Pill, it has a very obvious effect on improving the cultivation level.
The only regret is that several secret techniques of Xuangang Jue can only be practiced at the peak of Lingtai or even the early stage of Tianyuan. But Zhou Yang was very interested in the Golden Light Finger and felt it was time to start preliminary practice.
After the operation of Xuangang Jue was completed, the power of the two Fire Spirit Pills was completely dispersed in the meridians. While feeling comfortable, the meridians actually expanded slightly, but the amplitude was very small. It would not be felt at all if it were not detected through internal vision.
This is the growth of cultivation, and its root is the improvement of the total amount of spiritual power stored and used.
"We have reached the peak of the seventh level of the Lingtai so quickly!" Zhou Yang couldn't help but shook his head.
Recently, he has been slowly dredging the energy in his dantian according to the guidance method taught by Qin Ming. Over time, it has produced miraculous effects.
When the Xuan Gang Jue is running, this energy is combined with the spiritual power in the body, slowly and forcefully impacting each meridians and acupuncture points, allowing them to continuously increase and thicken, storing and operating the total amount of spiritual power. It is also gradually growing.
Coupled with the cooperation of the Fire Spirit Pill, his cultivation level is increasing every day.
At this time, the twelve main meridians and the eight extraordinary meridians were in a full state, and the three hundred and sixty-one large acupuncture points were also filled. Zhou Yang took a long breath and slowly opened his eyes.
After adjusting for a moment, he closed his eyes again, then suddenly opened them and pointed towards the wall.
A red light flashed and a small hole appeared in the wall.
"Why is it still red aura!" Zhou Yang frowned. What kind of golden light finger was this? It was still his own red aura.
It was done several more times, but still the same. Of course, all subsequent auras will be directed towards the ground.
"Forget it, this technique cannot be achieved overnight, you can only do it slowly." Zhou Yang shook his head and gave up continuing to practice.
A feeling of emptiness spread throughout his body, which suddenly reminded him of the new way of absorbing spiritual energy that he had realized before.
He has been busy recently and has no time to try this method because it requires a lot of effort.
To exhaust all spiritual power and then rely solely on absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for cultivation, this method requires an absolutely safe place and a long enough time.
It is not appropriate to conduct a compensation test at this time and place. Because this area is located at the junction of the two factions, and there are unknown forces eyeing him, he has to maintain a strong fighting capacity.
Zhou Yang swallowed several Huangling Pills and began to recover his spiritual power.
Half an hour later, he opened his eyes again, and without stopping, he continued to figure out the innate Qi-returning technique.
This technique is still a little short of reaching the first level. In addition to breaking through as soon as possible, his focus now is how to combine it with the Wood Breath Technique.
Essentially, the two tantric techniques are both techniques for concentrating Qi, but the routes they run through in the body are different. Currently, how to make the two secret techniques complement each other and promote each other to achieve better stealth and control effects is the direction he needs to work hard on.
The Wood Breath Jue can be in a state of completely absorbing one's own breath for a long time, just like grass and trees, and cannot be detected by spiritual consciousness.
However, the first stage of the Wood Breathing Technique only hides one's own aura. The form itself remains the same. It needs to be blocked by an object and cannot hide the traces.
The Innate Returning Qi Condensation Technique is different. If you practice it to the first level, you can initially blur the body shape to achieve a certain purpose of invisibility, but the effect of the virtual shape will be worse.
After reaching the second level of cultivation, the degree of incorporeal form gradually increases. Cultivators who have reached a higher level can no longer see their own form, and their spiritual consciousness cannot detect it.
After practicing to the third level, the effect of virtual invisibility becomes even better, much better than the Wood Breath Jue.
Zhou Yang was immersed in practice and unknowingly spent the entire night.
After an uneventful night, before dawn, Hu Zhiran and others returned to the station of Team 36. Pu Zheng waited for the second team to be dispatched and continued patrolling the boundary street.
After noon, Zhou Yang also began to lead the team on duty.
Bai Meng and Wu Changan were already standing quietly at the door of the first floor of the station. After Zhou Yang went out, the three of them went directly to Jie Street.
The name of the boundary street is Heshun Street.
The Tianxing Sect is less than four miles long, and the three of them quickly inspected it.
There is a tavern in the area belonging to the Tianxing Sect on Heshun Street. The tavern is not big and has only one facade.
In broad daylight, the robbers would not dare to come, so Zhou Yang and the others stopped in front of the tavern and pushed the door open directly.
There were only three square wooden tables in the tavern. At this time, only a few people were sitting around one wooden table drinking.
It's not a meal now, so there aren't many customers.
Zhou Yang greeted Bai Meng and Wu Changan and chose another table to sit down. The tavern owner and waiter behind the counter hurriedly stepped forward to ask what the three of them were eating.
The shopkeeper is about fifty years old, his surname is Liu, and he has a simple and honest look. He knew Bai Meng and Wu Changan and said hello with a smile on his face.
Zhou Yang nodded to him, casually ordered a few dishes and three bottles of wine, and then shopkeeper Liu bowed and left.
"Shopkeeper Liu brewed this wine himself, and he also cooked the dishes. You can try it later, it tastes pretty good." Bai Meng said with a smile.
"Oh. This person must be over fifty, but his cultivation level is only at the peak of Kaiyuan. This..." Zhou Yang shook his head.
"Yes, shopkeeper Liu had no hope of breaking through the spiritual platform, so he opened a tavern to make a living."
"Um."
I think if it hadn't been for the Fire Spirit Pill, with senior brother Tiehu's qualifications, he might never have been able to break through to the Lingtai realm, and he would have been able to make a living, only to end up depressed decades later.
If so, how similar Tiehu will be to the man in front of him many years later!
If his parents were not cultivators, they would most likely be like Shopkeeper Liu, running a small business by themselves, living in confusion for decades, and then turning into a handful of loess and returning their souls to the underworld.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yang felt a sense of sadness in his heart, and couldn't help but touch the jade pendant under his neck. This is the only relic left by his parents to him. With it, his parents seem to be by his side forever.
Life is so short. Even if you break through the Tianyuan realm, you will only live for more than two hundred years. Even if you achieve the Golden Elixir Realm, you will only live for more than five hundred years. What's more, it is not so easy to break through the Golden Elixir realm!
While building the road, I stood up and walked out again and again, and went through life and death again and again, just to obtain a higher realm and a longer life.
But is cultivating Taoism and immortality really just for immortality? Is there nothing else?
While Zhou Yang was thinking, the food and wine were served.
"Come on, let me toast Brother Zhou!" Bai Meng and Wu Changan raised their glasses.
"Do it!" Zhou Yang woke up slightly, raised his glass to the two of them, and drank it all in one gulp.
When the wine enters the intestines, it seems to have no taste and is as bland as water.
He was still immersed in his previous thoughts.
"Brother Zhou, Brother Zhou!" Bai Meng was very surprised to see Zhou Yang holding the empty wine glass for a long time, and shouted several times.
Zhou Yang came to his senses completely and bumped into Bai Meng again.
"Haha, Brother Zhou is worried. Are you thinking about Miss Ling'er?" Bai Meng said with a smile.
"Brother Bai is laughing. Come on, let's have three more drinks!" Zhou Yang filled up the wine and continued to drink with the two of them.
Since Zhou Yang and others arrived, several low-level cultivators at the other table stopped talking, with a look of awe in their eyes, and then they all lowered their heads to drink.
Zhou Yang drank a few more drinks and looked up at the low-level cultivators. A young man also looked at him curiously. Their eyes met, and the young man hurriedly lowered his head again.
Zhou Yang waved to the man to come over.
The young man's face changed, and he felt a little timid, but he didn't dare to come over. He hesitated for a moment and then hurriedly got up. In his haste, he knocked the wine glass next to the table to the ground. There was a clang, which made everyone look up in surprise.
Those people were just about to accuse the young man, but the young man suddenly stood up. Nuonuo came to Zhou Yang and stood with his hands down.
Several low-level cultivators were stunned for a moment, but they didn't dare to look again, so they started to drink wine carefully.
"Don't be afraid, I just want to ask you a few questions." Zhou Yang looked at the boy who was only a few years younger than him and said warmly.
"Senior, what are your orders?" The young man bowed even more. It is precisely because he is a few years older than himself that this young man is so submissive.
He has already reached the late stage of Lingtai at such a young age, and he has just reached the eighth level of Kaiyuan. This gap is simply terrifying. The cultivation world values strength. No matter how young the opponent is, he is still a senior, and he can crush him to death with just one finger. How can he not be afraid?
Even so, Zhou Yang was really not used to being called out by his peers and seniors.
"Are you a resident of this street?" Zhou Yang asked in a slower tone.
"Exactly. Junior Ye Tao, his ancestors lived here." Seeing that the senior was very kind, the young man raised his head and spoke much more clearly.
"It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Ye! By the way, have you always been under the rule of Tianxing Sect?"
"No. This junior's family was originally under the jurisdiction of Tianxing Sect, and was under the jurisdiction of Daye Sect some time ago."
"Oh, then why is Fellow Daoist Ye drinking here?"
