Walking into the Lingscorpion Courtyard, Shen Long saw a dozen tall black trees with lush branches and round leaves, and a black mist floating in the air. These black trees are mando trees, which can release miasma. The higher it is, the more miasma is released and the more poisonous it is, making it very popular with poisonous insects and poisonous beasts.
The iron-tailed scorpion was lying under a mando tree. Shen Long blew a whistle. It made a sharp hissing sound and ran towards Shen Long, its tail stinger swaying left and right.
It was still in the early stage of the second level. Shen Long took out two black grasses and a beast spirit pill and fed them to the iron-tailed scorpion.
The iron-tailed scorpion neighed with joy, and Shen Long could feel that it was very happy.
He waved his hand and the Iron-tailed Scorpion returned to its original position.
Shen Long left the Spirit Scorpion Courtyard and came to the door of a small courtyard with golden tiles. There was a wooden sign hanging on the door with three large silver characters "Golden Ant Courtyard" written on it.
A golden light curtain blocked his way. He took out a square golden token. With a flick of his wrist, a golden light flew out from the token and hit the golden light curtain. The golden light curtain collapsed.
He walked in and saw a large amount of golden wood scattered on the ground, with some gold-eating ants lying on the wood to chew on it.
The number of gold-eating ants exceeds 50,000. The number of second-order gold-eating ants alone exceeds a hundred. The power condensed into a weapon form is even greater. The queen of gold-eating ants flew over. Its body was like a huge piece of gold. Early stage of second stage.
Shen Long took out some silver ore and fed it to the gold-eating ant queen, and then gave it a beast spirit pill.
The number of gold-eating ants is increasing, and the cost of raising them is not a small sum. Fortunately, Shen Long opened a small shop selling elixirs.
Tiandan Tang provides the materials, and he is responsible for refining the elixir. Most of the refined elixirs are handed over in exchange for good deeds, while a small part is kept and sold in the shop.
More than a hundred second-level gold-eating ants flew over. Shen Long fed them some second-level weapon refining materials, but the Beast Spirit Pill was not included. Shen Long was not so generous. .
He wore Yun Shen on his body, and his spiritual consciousness was slowly growing.
He has figured out the function of Yun Shen Pendant, which is an auxiliary magic weapon that can make the wearer's spiritual consciousness continue to grow. The longer the wearer wears it, the more his spiritual consciousness will grow.
As for the magnetic beads, he doesn't know the specific function yet. The main reason is that he can't drive them. The Yun Shen Pendant doesn't need to be driven, it can work just as long as it is worn on the body.
In addition to the Yun Shen Pendant, Shen Long will also take the Green Jade Yun Shen Dan. His spiritual consciousness is relatively powerful. Currently, he has no problem controlling more than 50,000 gold-eating ants. He has tried it, and his spiritual consciousness has been exhausted in a cup of tea at most. He needs to finish off the enemy within the time of a cup of tea.
If the enemy couldn't be defeated in a cup of tea, there was no need for Shen Long to fight and find a way to escape.
Lin Shan walked over and said, "Master Shen, Master Qian, Master Ye and Master Qin are here."
"Hurry up and invite them to the Yingbin Courtyard. I'll be there right away."
Shen Long ordered.
The five sects of the Qin State joined forces to deal with the four sects of the Zhao State. At first, only the foundation-building monks fought. After more than half a year of fighting, the foundation-building monks lost hundreds of people, and the alchemy-forming monks also took action.
The five sects of Qin were still unable to completely swallow up the four sects of Zhao, and they had to return to the negotiation table in the end. Qin was unwilling to spit out the territory it had eaten, and Zhao did not want to cede a large piece of territory.
The five sects of the Qin State each sent an alchemy monk to discuss with the alchemy monks of the Zhao State to decide on the specific division of territory. The Qin State won three games and lost two, and the Zhao State had to cede a large piece of territory.
Fairy Tianhuo of Xuanyang Sect easily defeated Master Xuanyin of Baigui Sect, Master Chijiao of Yuling Sect and Master Jindao of Ba Dao Villa each defeated a pill-forming monk.
Qin State has twelve states and thirty-six counties, while Zhao State has ten states and twenty-seven counties. After the war, Zhao State ceded the land of two states to Qin State, and Qin State owned the land of fourteen states.
The Jinlang Jade vein is jointly mined by the five sects of the Qin State, with Yuling Sect accounting for 40%, Xuanyang Sect accounting for 20%, Badao Villa accounting for 20%, Qixia Sect and Zixiao Sect each accounting for 10%.
In this battle, the Yuling Sect lost more than twenty foundation-building monks, two of whom were Seventy-Two Shows. Lin Sisi led the team to capture a second-level mineral vein and killed seven foundation-building monks in total. Ning
Qianqian also performed very well, taking down a small elixir garden and killing five foundation-building monks. They filled these two vacancies and became the new Seventy-Two Show.
Ye Yutang, Ye Yuqing and Qin Bao all killed a foundation-building monk and received some rewards. Qian Dafu was responsible for escorting the supplies. There was no danger and little credit.
After the war, Qian Dafu returned to Yulingzong and did business with Shen Long.
Shen Long contributed the money, Qian Dafu contributed his efforts, and Shen Long took the lion's share of the profits earned.
"Yes, Master Shen."
Lin Shan agreed and left as ordered.
Shen Long came to a secluded small courtyard with green tiles. There was a hexagonal blue stone pavilion in the courtyard.
He came to the stone pavilion and sat down, took out a set of exquisite rosewood tea sets and tea leaves, and started making tea.
Not long after, Qian Dafu, Ye Yutang, Ye Yuqing and Qin Bao came over.
"Senior Brother Qin, is everything okay?"
Shen Long asked with concern.
Qin Bao was injured in the battle and bought healing elixirs from Shen Long.
"After taking the Blood Rhinoceros Pill refined by Junior Brother Shen, there will be no serious problem."
Qin Bao's tone was warm.
They started at the same time. At that time, Shen Long's cultivation level was lower than theirs. Now Shen Long is in the middle stage of foundation building, and they are only in the early stage of foundation building. In addition, Shen Long is still one of the seventy-two talents, and he is just an ordinary foundation building monk. .
"That's good, let's sit down and talk!"
Shen Long invited them to sit down, picked up the teapot, poured them tea, and started chatting.
"By the way, the Xuanyang Sect will hold the Xuanyang Festival in a while. Will Senior Brother Shen want to attend?"
Qian Dafu asked.
Xuanyang *** is a grand event held by Xuanyang Sect and has been held many times.
Xuanyang *** was originally organized by Xuanyang Sect's Danjie monks to communicate and discuss with other Danjie monks. Now, it is not only the Danjie monks who exchange and discuss, Qi refining and foundation building monks can also participate. Auctions will also be held to sell merchandise.
In a sense, the Xuanyang Festival is the largest grand gathering in the world of Qin's immortality. All major forces will send people to participate, and it is held every more than a hundred years.
"Of course I have to participate, why don't you go? This event is held once every hundred years, it would be a pity not to go."
Shen Long said.
As far as he knew, the five sects of the Qin State would hold competitions for the foundation-building monks of the five sects to compete. This was also a way of communication. The exchange of Taoism was not limited to chatting, but competitions were also a way.
Some monks are stuck at a bottleneck and are competing with other colleagues to hopefully resolve the bottleneck.
"We will also participate, but with our strength, it is too difficult to get a good ranking. Senior Brother Shen should have a chance."
Qian Dafu said with a smile.
"It's not that easy to get a good ranking, just do your best and let fate do your best!"
Shen Long said.
If he had the opportunity to express himself, he would naturally not miss it. He had no background and average qualifications. If he wanted to get ahead, he had to seize every opportunity, express himself as much as possible, and strive for more resources for cultivating immortality for himself.
"Last time, the top ten of Xuanyang were ranked among the top seven. Among them, Fairy Tianhuo was the first. We fought against the four sects of the Zhao Kingdom. Fairy Tianhuo defeated Master Xuanyin with great supernatural powers. It can be seen that The gold content of Xuanyang ***."
Ye Yutang said, with envy on his face.
Xuanyang *** is also an opportunity for Yulingzong disciples to come forward. They are only in the early stages of foundation building, and it is too difficult to get a good ranking.
"In the past ten Xuanyang attacks, the top three were all Xuanyang Sect disciples. I wonder if anyone can change this situation this time."
Qian Dafu said curiously.
"Senior Brother Xu Yang Xu should be able to get a good ranking if he participates in this Xuanyang ***!"
Shen Long said.
Xu Yang is the leader of the Seventy-Two Shows. He has cultivated to the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment very early. He has not shown up for many years. It is said that he is in the process of forming the core.
"Senior Brother Xu is probably in the Dan-formation stage and hasn't shown up for many years. He probably won't participate in this Xuanyang ***.
Senior Brother, Senior Sister Wang and the others! "
Qian Dafu said.
After chatting for more than an hour, Qian Dafu and the four of them said goodbye and left.
Shen Long looked at Lin Shan and asked: "Senior Nephew Lin, when will Senior Brother Xu hold a party?"
"Tonight's garrison will be at Uncle Xu's residence!"
Lin Shan said.
Shen Long nodded, took out a communication disk with flashing blue light, entered a spell, and asked: "Senior Sister Chen, is there any news about that matter?"
He asked Chen Qingqing to help find his parents, promising that he would be grateful once the job was done.
"No, it's been too long, and they are just Qi Refining monks. It is too difficult to investigate. I sent people to investigate, but there are no clues."
Chen Qingqing said.
"Excuse me, Senior Sister Chen. If you have any news, please inform me immediately. By the way, I have refined several furnaces of beast spirit pills and I will ask Lin Shan to deliver them to you."
Shen Long said.
He asked for help from others and would not let Chen Qingqing help. Chen Qingqing would work hard only when he got benefits.
"How embarrassing!"
Chen Qingqing said.
"What's so embarrassing about this? It's just two furnaces of beast spirit pills, not a rare thing. I'd like to express my gratitude to those two people for finding them, so be it!"
Shen Long put away the communication tray, took out a cyan storage bag, handed it to Lin Shan, and said: "Send it to Senior Sister Chen and hand it over to Senior Sister Chen, you know?"
"Yes, disciple, go and do it immediately."
Lin Shan agreed and left as ordered.
Shen Long returned to Qinglian Pavilion, walked into a secret room, sat cross-legged on the futon, closed his eyes and rested.
The sky gradually darkened, and many monks took out lighting tools.
Shen Long walked out of the Qinglian Garden, released the Snow Wind Bird, and jumped on the Snow Wind Bird's back.
The Snow Wind Bird flapped its wings lightly and flew high into the sky.
In less than half a quarter of an hour, Shen Long appeared above a small valley surrounded by mountains on three sides. The valley was covered by a large fog, making it difficult to see the situation in the valley.
He sent out a transmission note, the fog dispersed, and a vast manor came into view.
The Snow Wind Bird slowly flew down and landed in front of a blue stone pavilion. Two men and one woman were sitting in the stone pavilion. The leader was a young man in a green shirt with a fair face.
"Senior Brother Xu, Senior Sister Liu, and Senior Brother Chen, you are all here."
Shen Long said hello and put away the Snow Wind Bird.
"Junior Brother Shen, hasn't Xuefengque reached the middle stage of the second level yet?"
asked a man in a gold shirt in his early forties.
Chen Jin, early stage of foundation building.
The outside world thought that Shen Long's natal spiritual bird was the Snow Wind Sparrow, but Shen Long did not say that his natal spiritual bird was the Golden-winged Wind Peng, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.
He exchanged experiences on beast control with many fellow disciples and found that the highest purity of the blood essence of their natal spiritual beasts was two, and a few were one, which was completely inferior to the golden-winged wind roc.
"Not yet! It's not so easy for a natal spiritual bird to advance."
Shen Long explained.
"Feed more Beast Spirit Pills, and it won't be a problem for it to advance to the mid-level second level."
The young man in green shirt said.
Xu Lin, in the middle stage of foundation building.
Shen Long nodded and asked, "Is it just the four of us? Isn't Senior Sister Song coming?"
"Senior Sister Song is stuck in a bottleneck and is traveling. Junior Sister Qin will join us."
A graceful young woman in a gold skirt said.
Liu Yan, she is also a second-level alchemist.
"who?"
Shen Long was slightly startled.
"Junior Brother Shen should have heard of Junior Sister Qin, a descendant of Senior Uncle Qin."
Xu Lin explained.
"Why did Senior Sister Qin come to our party?"
Shen Long was a little surprised.
Three years ago, he met Qin Shuangshuang when he just passed the alchemy test, and then he never saw Qin Shuangshuang again.
With Qin Shuangshuang's status, he should not attend their party.
"What? Can't I come to your party?"
A female voice like a silver bell sounded.
As soon as he finished speaking, a three-foot-long eight-winged thunder-fire centipede fell from the sky, and Qin Shuangshuang stood on the eight-winged thunder-fire centipede.
"Senior Sister Qin misunderstood. I just think that Senior Sister Qin is too busy to attend our party."
Shen Long explained quickly.
"Senior Brother Xu invited me over, but I still have to give you face."
Qin Shuangshuang said with a smile.
"Junior Brother Shen has no ill intentions. Not to mention that he is surprised. Junior Sister Qin agreed to keep the appointment. I am also a little surprised."
Xu Lin came to the rescue for Shen Long.
"We are all from the same sect, I won't take it seriously."
Qin Shuangshuang said magnanimously.
"Junior sister Qin, you have advanced to the later stage. It seems that this time Xuanyang ***, you can get a good ranking."
Chen Jin flattered.
"It's hard to say. The other four sects will send experts to participate. I hope they can get a good ranking!"
Qin Shuangshuang said, her tone changed, and she said: "Actually, the ranking can't mean anything. Some core disciples will not participate easily, such as Senior Brother Xu and Senior Sister Yang."
"Speaking of which, Senior Brother Xu hasn't shown up for many years. Five years ago, I met Senior Sister Yang."
Xu Lin said.
"Perhaps Senior Brother Xu appears again and is already in the elixir formation stage."
Shen Long said.
"It's possible, let's get down to business! Senior Brother Xu invited me here to exchange alchemy techniques, right?"
Qin Shuangshuang said.
Xu Lin nodded and said, "I heard that Junior Sister Qin is back. Please come over and have a chat. I want to ask you some questions."
Qin Shuangshuang is a descendant of a third-level alchemist. He can ask for advice from a third-level alchemist. His level of alchemy is much higher than theirs. Many second-level alchemists from the Yuling Sect exchange alchemy techniques with Qin Shuangshuang.
"Don't take it seriously when asking for advice, communicate with each other."
Qin Shuangshuang said modestly.
Xu Lin nodded and expressed his confusion. Qin Shuangshuang opened his mouth to answer. She explained in great detail, from throwing the elixir into the alchemy furnace to the formation of the elixir.
Qin Shuangshuang pointed out some key points and asked them to pay attention. Shen Long's face showed an expression of sudden enlightenment. Some of the long-standing doubts disappeared, and he felt like he was enlightened.
Shen Long and the others also asked questions, and Qin Shuangshuang patiently answered them.
"Senior Sister Qin, can you refine the top-grade elixir?"
Shen Long asked curiously.
"Not yet. It's not easy to refine high-grade elixirs. Grandpa Xuan asked me to work harder and I will succeed."
Qin Shuangshuang said.
"Junior Sister Qin, by the way, Senior Uncle Qin hasn't shown up for many years. Hasn't he come back yet?"
Xu Lin asked.
"No, the Pill-forming monks are different from us Foundation-building monks. It is possible to be in seclusion for decades or even hundreds of years. The Qianyang world is quite large. Maybe Grandpa Xuan went to look for opportunities elsewhere!"
Qin Shuangshuang said.
