“Buzz!!!”
Seeing the spiritual energy in a radius of dozens of miles, as if being sucked by a whale, converging towards the cloud-filled mountain top, Xiang Ling still sighed a little, even though he had seen it many times.
"This kind of power is not inferior to the lower third-grade golden elixir. To achieve this level in the foundation building stage, you are worthy of your husband."
After saying that, she thought of something and spoke to the sister next to her.
"Lingque, since my husband is willing to accept you as his disciple, this is your blessing. You must take advantage of it and never let down your expectations."
"You don't need to tell me, I will naturally practice well... It's a pity that I can't get started with either the true shape map of the Five Zang Palace or the Bagua Heaven Map."
Speaking of the latter part, Lingque was a little depressed.
She knew that the source of Zhong Cang's strength lay in these two techniques.
In this regard, Lingque wanted to learn, and Zhong Cang was also willing to teach.
However, not everyone can practice these two techniques.
Not to mention Zhong Cang who quickly cultivated to the fourth level of master, it was difficult for her to even get started.
Compared to Ling Que who looked unhappy, Xiang Ling had a calm mind.
"Cultivation is inevitably difficult. My husband's talent for cultivation is rare even in large sects. You don't need to compare with my husband, as long as you make progress..."
…
The sisters Xiang Ling and Ling Que were talking to each other.
As for Zhong Cang, who was sitting on the top of the mountain, it was the most critical moment.
After several hours of resonance, and with the help of the innate aura attached to the magic weapon, his practice had reached the door of the middle stage of foundation building, and he felt the barrier between the early and middle stages of foundation building.
"Break it for me!"
"Buzz!"
With a rush of energy, Zhong Cang directly used his majestic spiritual energy to bombard the barrier in the middle stage of the foundation establishment. This step... was very easy.
This is a normal situation. First of all, after acquiring the characteristics of the five qi in the chest and cultivating the five internal organs, the spiritual energy in Zhong Cang's body is already extremely abundant, ten times more than that of ordinary people.
It will naturally be easier to break through with such majestic spiritual energy.
Not to mention, Zhong Cang's current physique is no longer average at level three.
After building his foundation in the Qi-Shin Jue for a hundred days, Zhong Cang's talent has undergone transformation, and he is now a first-grade spiritual root.
Because this level of talent is extremely compatible with spiritual energy, in addition to its high efficiency in absorbing spiritual energy, the barrier when breaking through is also very weak.
With a little force, Zhong Cang pierced this membrane and entered the middle stage of foundation building.
"Boom!"
At the moment of advancement, Zhong Cang's first feeling was that he had broken the boundaries that bound him.
This is reflected in Zhong Cang's body, which is his overflowing Dantian, and the upper limit of the spiritual energy stored in it has increased.
"suck……"
The Dantian expanded, and the spiritual energy between heaven and earth was sucked into Zhong Cang's belly.
Due to the gathering of the Five Elements Spirit Gathering Formation, the concentration of spiritual energy around Zhong Cang has always been very strong. At this moment, a huge amount of spiritual energy is refined into his belly, and Zhong Cang's cultivation level also rises with the tide.
After the dantian has made a profit, it is the internal organs. Like the dantian, its upper limit has also been expanded.
This change, in addition to making Zhong Cang's five-organ god become more magnificent and powerful, the enhancement of the five internal organs also led to the growth of Zhong Cang's physical fitness.
"Buzz..."
His body and mana grew together, and the looming figure of the giant spirit behind Zhong Cang became more and more solid.
…
Compared with the advancement of skills, the advancement of cultivation does not have many strange phenomena, and there are no special characteristics. It is just the enhancement of mana and physical body.
However, for monks, the transformation of mana and body is fundamental.
After all, no matter how magical and powerful a spell is, it requires sufficient mana to be cast.
If you have enough mana, you can reduce ten skills with one force, and low-level spells can also produce super-level effects.
Therefore, this advancement will greatly improve Zhong Cang's strength.
…
"breathe……"
After advancing, Zhong Cang breathed on the top of the mountain for more than half an hour.
And between this breath and every breath, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth was continuously sucked into Zhong Cang's belly, and was integrated into his body under the refining of the five internal organs god.
However, because his own foundation is too deep, and with this advancement, Zhong Cang's upper limit has been expanded nearly ten times, making it extremely difficult to fill it up.
What troubled him even more was that the concentration of spiritual energy in the wilderness was far from comparable to that of the Yunxiao Sect. Even if he had the Five Elements Spirit Gathering Formation, which could gather spiritual energy of about ten thousand meters in radius, this spiritual energy was still not enough.
Just like now, after half an hour of training, Zhong Cang had sucked up all the spiritual energy in a radius of tens of thousands of miles.
Although spiritual energy flows from high places to low places like water, it will take at least three days to fill this area.
He couldn't wait for such a long time.
This situation also made Zhong Cang understand one thing:
"If I practice in the wilderness, it will take me at least ten years to fill myself with spiritual energy and reach the bottleneck in the later stages of foundation building."
Thinking of this, Zhong Cang became more and more eager to return to Yunxiao Sect.
If you were in the Yunxiao Sect, not only would the spiritual energy concentration there be ten times that of now, but most of the resources would be open to you. With the accumulation of those resources, Zhong Cang was confident that he could complete the cultivation within a year. In order to reach the perfection of the middle stage of foundation building.
If he is lucky enough to be rewarded by the sect and given a rare item equivalent to a semi-innate magic weapon, Zhong Cang will even have the confidence to improve his cultivation within a few months.
And there is one more thing that makes Zhong Cang have to return.
"The way of heaven is to make up for the deficiency when there is excess damage; the way of man is to make up for the deficiency when there is excess damage."
"The human body has deficiencies. If no foreign substances are added to the mana, the chance of a group of foundation-building golden elixirs advancing to the next level will be less than one percent. Moreover, even if they are lucky enough to advance, they will only be lower-level third-grade golden elixirs."
"So, in the middle stage of foundation building, everyone needs to absorb the earthly evil energy between heaven and earth and let them blend with the body. In the late stage of foundation building, they need to absorb the evil energy and merge it with the magic power."
"This kind of absorption and fusion not only changes the body and mana, but is also a way to complement oneself."
"And this situation of using the energy of heaven and earth to supplement oneself is exactly in line with the saying - the way of heaven is to make up for the deficiency when there is more damage; the way of man is to make up for the deficiency when it is not enough!"
…
Condensation Gang training is something that all foundation building must go through.
However, not all evil spirits can be absorbed by practitioners.
Depending on the technique, the amount of evil energy that a group of practitioners can absorb is also different.
For example, the flame butterfly with the fire attribute can only absorb the evil energy of the fire attribute. At most, it can absorb the wood attribute due to the principle of the mutual generation of the five elements.
Because Zhong Cang has all five elements, he can absorb all five kinds of evil spirits.
Logically speaking, having many choices is a good thing for Zhong Cang.
But things are not that simple... If the heaven and the earth do not fall into a state of decline, the evil energy will be continuously born from the heaven and the earth.
However, even if the heaven and earth will give birth to evil energy, compared to the large number of cultivators, this evil energy is still not enough.
In particular, whether it is Tiangang Qi or Earthly Evil Qi, there are quality levels.
And for tens of thousands of years, with the establishment and expansion of the major cultivation sects, many top-grade Gangsha and high-grade Gangsha have been monopolized by the major sects.
In the outside world, it is difficult to find Gangsha Qi. If you find it, it will only be of middle or lower grade. Only big sects can have top grade or even top grade Gangsha.
Not wanting to make do with Ning Gang Lian Sha, Zhong Cang had no choice but to return to his sect.
But Gang Sha's condensation is related to his upper limit in the future, how dare he make do with it.
Of course, he can also rely on luck.
Like this time, he obtained five and a half innate magic weapons in the secret realm of Mount Wutai. If he finds the secret realm again, he has a chance of obtaining the best Gangsha.
It's just that this kind of luck is almost the same as winning a jackpot, so he doesn't dare to gamble.
On the contrary, when he returns to the sect, Zhong Cang's chance of obtaining the best Gangsha is more than 30%, and the high-grade Gangsha is even 100%.
Therefore, there is almost no need to think too much about what choice Zhong Cang will make.
By the way, the reason why there are true disciples in Yunxiao Sect and the division between ordinary inner sects and the shortage of high-grade and top-grade Gangsha Qi is one of them.
One of the reasons why the battle between the top and the center is so fierce and fierce is one of the reasons.
"The sect must return, and the sooner we return, the better it will be for me!"
…
After making the decision, Zhong Cang practiced in the wilderness for more than ten days, stabilized his cultivation, and then walked towards a coastal market with his two girls.
Hmm... I say I'm walking, but I'm actually flying.
And unlike before where it was just about controlling the wind, with the Mirage Dragon Ball, Zhong Cang's Mirage Dragon now has the ability to swallow clouds and spit out mist.
"call……"
The dragon's mouth opened wide, the mist surged, and soon a white cloud with a radius of an acre appeared around Zhong Cang and the others. Then, driven by the wind, the cloud flew towards the seaside at a very fast speed.
And while flying, there was no change on the outside of Baiyun, but inside, a luxurious cave was formed due to the transformation of the illusion energy.
Lying in the cave, Zhong Cang sighed while receiving Xiang Ling's massage:
"This illusion is really convenient."
"It's a pity that I haven't reached Jindan yet, so I don't dare to make too much fanfare. Otherwise, it would be fun to turn the mist and clouds into dragon boats and summon thousands of beauties to sing and dance to help."
…
The speed of the fog cloud does not require Zhong Cang's intervention. The mirage dragon, which has a ray of Zhong Cang's spirituality, has accomplished this very well, so he only needs to enjoy it.
This kind of flight lasted for thirteen days. There was no way, the sky was so vast.
Finally, thirteen days later, Zhong Cang and the others arrived at their destination—Tianhaixian City!
Looking at the giant city that was entrenched on the seaside like a giant beast, both Xiang Ling and Ling Que felt a little afraid.
Especially the former, who said timidly: "My lord, do we really want to come here?"
Zhong Cang knew the reason for her fear.
Unlike Tianyun Immortal City, which is located inland, Tianhai Immortal City is considered a holy place in the hearts of casual cultivators.
Because it is close to the sea and borders the Dragon Palace, the super power in the sea, in order to avoid conflicts, the major sects in Yunmeng Tianyu did not send monks to openly station here.
However, being bordered by maritime forces has resulted in numerous trades and endless profits.
With huge profits and no restrictions from big sects, this place gradually became a gathering place for casual cultivators.
When some casual cultivators relied on the profits from this place to become Nascent Souls, or even become god-transforming cultivators, this place became a holy place for casual cultivators.
Every year, there are countless casual cultivators who can't stand the oppression of the big sects and come here to hunt for treasures.
And some people really went to sea and made a fortune, which led to more and more people coming.
Of course, if that were the case, Xiang Ling and Ling Que would only be yearning for it instead of fearing it.
The reason that scares them is that while this place is prosperous, it is also very...chaotic.
It is true that many of the Xiuzhen sect are fake benevolence and hypocrites, but at least the Dao sect still pays attention to face.
Therefore, even though everyone is oppressed in the inland areas ruled by major factions, they can at least maintain a semblance of peace. In some fairy cities, disciples of major factions are stationed, both to collect taxes and to maintain order.
But Tianhaixian City is different. It is difficult to manage casual cultivators. If many casual cultivators gather together, it is even more difficult to manage.
There are vendettas here every day. Although the gangs gathered by casual cultivators do not fight every day, it is normal for them to fight several times a year for the sake of territory and profit.
The low-level casual cultivators living here have even seen the King's flag changing on the streets.
There are many opportunities, but it is also extremely chaotic. This is everyone's impression of this place.
And there are really Jindan and Nascent Soul stationed here.
The Jindan melee happened only once every few years. Xiang Ling naturally did not want to enter such a chaotic and dangerous city.
If it weren't for returning to Yunxiao Sect as soon as possible, Zhong Cang wouldn't want to.
He didn't have the ability to compete with Jindan and Yuanying, so he naturally didn't want to meet them.
A gentleman does not stand behind a dangerous wall. Zhong Cang still understands this truth.
However, the shortage of resources and the need to practice Ning Gang made Zhong Cang have to come.
Of course, he came here not to find opportunities in Tianhai Fairy City, but to find... people.
"As a large sect, it also has allies with several surrounding Dao sects. The Yunxiao sect's tentacles (spies) will never only exist in the Beiyuan Prefecture."
"As a continent on the verge of the Beiyuan State Territory, there are definitely people from the Yunxiao Sect in the Yunmengtian Territory. Even if it is just to inquire about the situation here, the Yunxiao Sect will send a few spies here."
This is just like in the previous life, as a superpower, the lighthouse country would send a large number of spies into various countries. This is the routine operation of the big faction.
If the spies are found and the Yunxiao Sect is contacted, it will be easy for Zhong Cang to return home.
According to the information he knew, the foundation of the Heavenly Way was highly valued among the major sects. In order to take Zhong Cang back, it was possible to send a Nascent Soul.
...This is not to let Yuanying escort him all the time, but to take a trip to bring Zhong Cang back to Yunxiao Sect. With Master Yuanying's speed, this won't take much time.
…
Since arriving in Yunmeng Tianyu, Zhong Cang has been trying his best to return to the sect.
In the end, Zhong Cang found that compared to planning how to go back, contacting the sect and asking the sect to send someone to pick him up was the easiest way.
However, the only thing that made him uncomfortable was that in the sect, he was only a minor Qi practitioner and had no contact with the sect's intelligence department.
Moreover, this is the outer domain, and Zhong Cang has no chance to access the intelligence from the outer domain.
Finally, after thinking about it with Tian Xin, Zhong Cang felt that as an intelligence department, they had to collect information without exposing themselves. In this case, Tianhaixian City, a mixed bag of good and bad, was the most convenient place.
Countless casual cultivators come and go, so there is a lot of information here, and there are no restrictions from the big sects, so the chance of them being discovered is very low, and even if they are discovered, those big sects can't do anything. After all, this place is not under the jurisdiction of the big sects.
In this case, the Yunxiao Sect's intelligence headquarters in Yunmeng Tianyu may be established here.
And this is also the reason why Zhong Cang came here.
"But how to find it?"
Looking at the big city entrenched on the seaside like a giant beast, and feeling the number of at least one million casual cultivators in the city, Zhong Cang's scalp felt numb.
It is really not an easy thing to find someone in such a huge city who is good at hiding.
In the end, Zhong Cang opened Tianxin again and used Tianxin's thinking to accelerate and think.
In this state, he really found two ways to break the game.
"Sihai Pavilion... There is also Sihai Pavilion here. As a super store, Sihai Pavilion not only sells goods, but also sells information. Yunxiao Sect's spies may even buy information here and spend money to ask them. There is a certain chance that they will be contacted here. A spy from the Yunxiao Sect."
"Furthermore, even if we can't contact the Yunxiao Sect members here, as a large force across the state, there must be a way to transmit messages across borders in the Sihai Pavilion... I can even let the Sihai Pavilion contact the Yunxiao Sect, and then let the Sihai Pavilion contact the Yunxiao Sect. The elders of Yunxiao Sect came to pick me up."
This method is very good, but the other one is a bit bold.
"If I can make a big news in Tianhai Fairy City and reveal my identity as a disciple of the Yunxiao Sect, the spies in this city and even the surrounding areas will know about me and will send people to investigate. two."
"At that time, it would be easy for me to contact people from Yunxiao Sect."
Thinking of this, Zhong Cang's eyes lit up and he made a decision in his heart. He said:
"Want both!"
PS: I have been thinking about the plot for the past two days, so there are a few updates. Sorry, I will resume two updates tomorrow.
