The Tiandu Order Talisman is the key to unlocking the secrets of Tiandu.
Among the many secret hiding places secretly built by Pingdu Gate, Tiandu Secret Hidden is of a lower level, but it is very suitable for Zhang Yao.
He learned from Chen Qingju:
There are many different tests in the Tiandu secret store. For each test you pass, you can choose a corresponding prize.
The prizes at the last level of the secret even include foundation-building pills and elementary spiritual weapons. These are good things that even foundation-building monks would be jealous of.
"Um……"
Zhang Yao was silent, playing with the command talisman in his hand and analyzing the various stakes.
He was bound to get the Foundation Establishment Pill.
But he had never been promoted to the Foundation Establishment Realm, so he was still a little afraid of Tianbao Tower and didn't want to participate in the big auction they held.
And if you can get the Foundation Building Pill from the Tiandu Secret Treasures, you can not only save a lot of spiritual stones, but also avoid dealing with Tianbao Tower.
besides:
The spiritual weapons in the secret cache and even the secret methods of Pingdu Sect are also treasures that he is very interested in and of great value.
"Taking away the Tiandu Talisman is not dangerous in itself."
"But whether you want to go to the Tiandu Hidden to break into it, you still have to reconsider..."
Although the monks of the Dongge Sect have the means to locate the Heavenly Capital Talisman, the scope of their location must be very limited.
In the Dali Immortal Cultivation World, the identity of the remaining members of the Pingdu Clan has never been revealed. Jindan forces such as Lingyang Sect, Fuhai Sect, and Dugu Family have been offering bounties to the remaining disciples of the Pingdu Clan for a long time.
In this situation--
The foundation-building monks of the Dongge Sect and the Xige Sect are basically not in Dali.
Like the leader of the Sunset Alliance, they all chose to establish their power in the small southwestern country and collect resources to support their own cultivation.
In addition to the foundation-building monks, there are only a handful of Qi-refining monks from the two factions lurking in Dali. Even if it is approaching the twenty-year period, there are only a few more.
These key information were all tortured by him from Chen Qingju, and their reliability is guaranteed.
"It can be said that as long as I don't go to Tianyin Mountain, the probability of running into a monk from the Dongge Sect in Dali is very slim."
With Zhang Yao thinking like this, he put away the Heavenly Capital Talisman, got up and flew away.
"Take it first and then talk."
"There are still nearly two years until the twenty-year mark. I have enough time to consider this matter..."
…………
A few days later.
Zhang Yao traveled northward for more than 10,000 miles and came to the 'Xianmen Island' in the south of Dali.
Dali has a vast territory, covering tens of thousands of miles in radius. There are countless ordinary people living within it, as well as tens of thousands of immortal cultivators. There are many Xianjiafang cities in various places.
Xianmen Island is the most famous city in southern Dali. It is one of the important industries of the "Ling Yang Sect" and has a large number of monks coming and going all year round.
"Rumble..."
The sea of clouds was churning endlessly, and the many escaping lights were like rainbows, coming in and out, making it very lively.
"There are so many people here."
"In small countries like Li State and Wei State, there may not be as many immortal cultivators in the entire territory as there are on this Xianmen Island..."
Zhang Yao sighed secretly in his heart, his escaping light passed through it without being noticeable at all.
Soon, his escaping light landed in front of the formation entrance of Xianmen Island. After paying a spiritual stone, he entered the urban area.
"Character records, yes, and this geographical classic should also be purchased first..."
Zhang Yao went straight to the jade slips and classics store in the market and selected a lot of classics.
His knowledge of the world of immortality in Dali was very limited. It basically came from some hearsay in Wei and Li countries, and information obtained through torture from Chen Qingju.
Therefore, he was in urgent need of supplementing his knowledge of Dali's allusions, history, biographies, and geography.
Half an hour later:
Zhang Yao, who had completed the renting procedures in the cave, patiently read more than a dozen jade slips and classics in the cave to absorb the knowledge.
"It turns out that this is the origin of the Pingdu Sect, and the Pingdu Patriarch is really a strange person..."
"...The organizational situation of Tianbao Tower is really creative. I don't know who came up with it."
"Well, this so-called 'ancestral Dugu's quirk' has been spread so widely that even the Qi Refining monks are talking about it. I'm afraid there is something weird about it..."
"Five Elements Sanren are indeed famous and invincible. Even now, two thousand years later, they are widely known as overlords."
Zhang Yao stayed in the cave for most of the day and finished reading more than a dozen classics.
These dozen or so classics covered all aspects of the world of Dali's cultivation of immortality, giving him a completely new understanding of the entire world of Dali's cultivation of immortality.
"It seems that this hidden secret in Tiandu is indeed worthy of a visit."
After Zhang Yao obtained more information, he gradually came up with new ideas.
There is actually a higher-level secret treasure in Pingdu Sect, but the founders of Dongge Sect and Xige Sect know nothing about it.
More than a hundred years ago, the Pingdu Sect was destroyed too hastily and no escape plan was planned. As a result, many secrets were lost, and the surviving disciples suffered greatly.
This led to the fact that the Tiandu secret store was obviously only a secret store in the Qi refining period, but it was closely watched by the foundation-building monks of the two factions because they did not dare to hang out in the Dali cultivation world and were really poor.
Under such circumstances, the result is that the disciples who have broken into the secrets of the past generations are actually tool men, and the real gain is that the foundation-building monks of the two sects take the lead.
For example, Chen Qingju, although she is wholeheartedly devoted to the Xige Sect, is over eighty years old and has very little hope of being promoted to the Foundation Establishment Realm. Obtaining the secret treasure is of no use and can only be used to help the leader of the Sunset Alliance win the treasure.
"Because their identity is kept secret and they are scattered in various places, the Dongge Faction is not very clear, but the organization of the Xige Faction is very loose."
"This Chen Qingju is not a true disciple of the leader of the Sunset Alliance, and her status is not very high..."
In Zhang Yao's heart, thoughts kept surging:
"If I pretend to be her, I will most likely hide it from the foundation-building monks from the Xige sect who are staying in Tianyin Mountain, and enter the Tiandu Secret Crypt on her behalf."
The East Pavilion Sect and the West Pavilion Sect each have a monk who is in the early stages of foundation building. He is stationed deep in Tianyin Mountain all year round, keeping an eye on the secrets of Tiandu.
As the Xige Sect is loosely organized and has almost no contact, the Xige Sect foundation-building monk in Tianyin Mountain has a high probability of knowing nothing about the disciples who broke into the formation this time.
After all, he has been hiding in Tianyin Mountain all year round and has no way to know the several foundation-building monks within the Xige Sect and who will be sent to enter the Tiandu Secret Crypt.
The information loopholes in this gave Zhang Yao room to operate.
"But there are two prerequisites for this concealment."
In Zhang Yao's heart, thoughts kept surging:
"First, I have to become extremely proficient in practicing the 'Qinglian Song' within two years before I can pretend to be a disciple of the Qinglian Sect in the Sunset Alliance."
"Second, we must acquire thousands of years of chalcedony, successfully build the 'Tian Xuan Ming Jade Formation', and raise our cultivation level to the perfection of Qi refining."
Just the first condition is very difficult.
Qinglian Song is an exclusive high-level spell with wood attributes. Although Zhang Yao can practice it, he has very little experience in the art of music, and it is difficult for him to improve quickly in a short period of time.
The second condition is just luck.
Although Xianmen Island, where he is currently staying, is the largest city in southern Dali and receives hundreds of monks every day, there is a high probability that it has thousands of years of chalcedony.
But what if the thousand-year-old chalcedony cannot be purchased within one or two years?
"If you really can't touch it, then don't go."
Zhang Yao shook his head secretly, feeling very sober:
What he practices is the "Wanhuadu Tianzhen Sutra", which is the ceiling among the top techniques.
Practitioners of top-level techniques have far greater combat power than monks of the same level, and can basically fight across levels.
For example, if a person at the bottom of the top-level skills such as "Ice Soul Heavenly Fire Technique" reaches the level of perfect Qi refining, they will have the strength to compete with those in the early stage of foundation building for several rounds.
Practitioners of the "Wanhuadu Tianzhen Sutra" are more than capable of confronting the early stage of foundation building, and may even be able to win.
By that time, even if his identity is exposed in Tianyin Mountain, he will be able to escape calmly.
But if he couldn't get the thousand-year chalcedony within two years, his strength would not be able to change qualitatively, and he would still be in great danger when facing the monks in the early stages of foundation building.
If this was really the case, he would rather give up this opportunity.
the next day.
Zhang Yao came to Fangcheng District of Xianmen Island, preparing to find the thousand-year chalcedony.
The city of Xianmen Island is very large and is divided into several areas:
The core inner island area is home to four top chambers of commerce: Tianbao Tower, Sihai Pavilion, Moyu Hall, and Yuhua Tower, as well as more than a dozen sub-level chambers of commerce.
The remaining outer island area is divided into seven or eight different small areas according to functions, selling everything.
"Oh, it's really eye-opening..."
Zhang Yao toured the city and saw many novelties.
In the market on Xianmen Island, there are also shops selling eggs and cubs of spiritual beasts, as well as immortal puppets, Taoist soldiers and other items, which are not found in Weiguo, Liguo and other places.
The ownership of some spiritual gold veins, resource origins, and even micro-spiritual veins are openly traded and hawked. This is also an unimaginable scene in other small southwestern countries.
"It is really prosperous and prosperous, and the world of immortality is great."
Zhang Yao wandered around the city and went to many shops to inquire whether there was any thousand-year-old chalcedony for sale.
But unfortunately:
As the main material of the second-level elixir, thousand-year-old chalcedony is quite rare. He asked about seven or eight shops in the outer island area, but they all said they didn't have it.
"It seems we can only go to the inner island area."
Zhang Yao drove the escaping light, passed through the water shrouded in light and mist, and arrived at the inner island area.
The inner island area occupies a small area, but it is full of jade trees, corals, spiritual plants and grasses, and the elegant fragrance lingers for a long time.
After a while, Zhang Yao visited the fourth shop. When the shopkeeper who received him heard his request, he immediately said:
"Guest, you have come to the right place."
"We have thousand-year-old chalcedony for sale in Jingde Hall, but the price is not cheap."
Zhang Yao felt happy and asked:
"How many spirit stones?"
The shopkeeper in Jingdetang replied:
"Six thousand spiritual stones."
"This is too expensive!"
Zhang Yao shook his head repeatedly.
Even if it is a foundation-building pill, the calculated cost of one pill is only more than 10,000 spirit stones.
The internal price of Tianbao Tower and the four major golden elixir forces is only about 20,000 yuan. However, there are few external channels, so they fetched high prices of 50,000 to 60,000 yuan at the auction.
Thousand-year chalcedony is the main material of many second-level spiritual elixirs. It is indeed versatile and valuable. It is a bit exaggerated to sell it for six thousand spiritual stones.
"This guest, we have clearly marked the price..."
The shopkeeper of Jingdetang immediately argued with Zhang Yao.
The two bargained for a long time and finally settled the deal for 5,200 spirit stones.
After Zhang Yao paid off the spirit stone, he put away the thousand-year chalcedony and hurriedly turned around and left Jingde Hall, returning all the way to his cave.
"The millennium chalcedony is finally in hand."
Zhang Yao smiled and took out the thousand-year chalcedony to examine it carefully.
The thousand-year-old chalcedony itself is a ball of light cyan viscous liquid, shining with a little light, sealed in a transparent glass.
"At first glance, it looks a bit like human bone marrow..."
Zhang Yao's expression moved slightly.
Thousand-year chalcedony is produced from the depths of some large and medium-sized spirit jade veins, and can also be extracted and refined from the associated ores of some spirit gold veins.
This small group is a standard unit, which is more than enough to build the 'Tian Xuan Ming Jade Formation'.
"let's start."
Zhang Yao took a deep breath, took off his shirt, and sat cross-legged in the quiet room, meditating and regulating his breath.
A moment later:
"Crack!"
After Zhang Yao finished adjusting his breath, he crushed the transparent glass into pieces.
After the glass was shattered, the thousand-year-old chalcedony that had been sealed within it instantly fell into Zhang Yao's hands and was wrapped in his magic power.
In an instant: the magic formula was running, the magic power was surging, and the thousand-year-old chalcedony in Zhang Yao's hand began to boil violently like boiling water.
A trace of cyan brilliance seeped into Zhang Yao's flesh and bones along the palm of his hand, extending all the way to the depths of the bone marrow before bursting out.
"hiss……"
Zhang Yao couldn't help but take a deep breath, then gritted his teeth and endured, continuing to channel his magic power and carve spiritual patterns.
In the severe pain that was like ripping out the bones and marrow, strands of green light gradually gathered together, forming a series of spiritual lines, which were combined into formations of veins.
During this process, Zhang Yao's own bone marrow and bones were also "jaded" bit by bit, gradually deviating from their normal form.
After several hours:
"Buzz!"
Zhang Yao's whole body was shaken, and the spiritual patterns on the last bone were engraved.
At this point, the spiritual pattern array veins on the 206 bones around his body formed a whole, and the 'Tian Xuan Ming Jade Array' was instantly activated and running.
In the shining blue light——
The bones in Zhang Yao's body were completely transformed into jade under the erosion of the power of the formation.
Each of his bones is as crystal clear and moist as mutton-fat white jade, with light blue bone marrow flowing inside, as if the power of the vast earth veins is hidden.
This is Xuan Gu Jade Marrow, one of the treasures of the Tao Sect.
"call……"
Zhang Yao took a deep breath and felt the new energy and blood flowing, nourishing his internal organs.
This process is very similar to the hundred-day transformation period of becoming a master, but with the blessing of magic power and formations, the speed is much faster.
"It will take up to three days to complete the transformation."
Thinking of this, Zhang Yao showed a faint smile:
"At that time, it will be a good time to make a breakthrough and reach the perfection of Qi refining."
…………
Three days later.
In the residential area on Xianmen Island, a whirlpool of spiritual energy emerged, but it did not attract many people's attention.
An hour later, the spiritual energy vortex gradually dissipated.
In the cave, Zhang Yao slowly opened his eyes, feeling the changes in himself.
The already powerful mana has been increased by more than half, truly reaching five times the level of the same level.
The purity of mana has also reached the peak state of the Qi refining stage. The next step forward is the atomization of mana, the reversal of Qi veins, and the condensation of Tao foundation.
"After so many years in the immortal world, we have finally reached this point."
Zhang Yao sighed in his heart and suddenly felt an impulse.
Now, he can completely retreat immediately, take advantage of the opportunity to hit the foundation building stage, and complete the key step of condensing the foundation.
"...No, you can't be impatient."
Zhang Yao suppressed his urgent mood and secretly warned himself:
“Those who have traveled a hundred miles have only half a mile, and they must not fall short at the last moment.”
Foundation Building Pill is a necessary insurance.
If there is no Foundation Establishment Pill and he happens to be extremely unlucky, the result of failed attack and severed Qi veins is completely unacceptable to him.
Although the probability is very small, Zhang Yao does not dare to gamble, nor is he willing to gamble.
"Well... then let's go to Tiandu's secret hideout."
Zhang Yao was silent, thinking in his mind:
"There are still two years left, so it's totally time."
"After I have been promoted to Qi Refining, my safety has been guaranteed..."
