Jiang Yun began to make preparations before departure. Since the target was clearly the Jinjia Yunjiao, he had to prepare something that could impress the opponent.
Jiang Yun first went to the sect's library.
As a sect that is good at controlling beasts and insects, Spirit Beast Mountain has a lot of information on various spirit beasts and insects.
As one of the strongest races in the Valley of Beasts, the Golden-armored Cloud Dragon naturally has many records.
But it is a pity that although Jiang Yun found a lot of information, including dozens of new insights from the ancestors in the sect who cultivated this spiritual beast.
But Jiang Yun found that most of these records described how he went bankrupt, how he delayed his cultivation in order to train, and so on.
After Jiang Yun read them briefly, he copied all the information and books and prepared to take them back to the cave to study them slowly.
Afterwards, Jiang Yun went to Jinjiao Peak again and found Senior Sister Jiang Qianjiu. Jiang Yun was quite used to calling Senior Sister after forming pills.
This world is like this. Once your cultivation level rises, your seniority rises all of a sudden. For example, yesterday I was still a senior brother, but after my breakthrough, I became a senior uncle.
Because Jinjiao Peak has raised several golden-armored cloud dragons, he naturally knows this kind of spiritual beast very well, so Jiang Yun paid some elixirs and spirit stones in exchange for some cultivation experience, and also started to study them.
Jiang Yun never thought about asking Jin Jiaofeng for a cub, because he found that the ones raised by Jin Jiaofeng were all with average qualifications and did not have superior qualifications.
There were even a few whose bloodlines were not pure at all and looked a bit strange, so Jiang Yun looked down on them.
After returning to the cave, he began to study everything about the golden-armored cloud dragon.
From their hobbies and foods, which spiritual grasses and fruits are suitable for them to take, and what is their temperament? What is your attitude toward humans? He even took out a few golden-armored cloud dragon scales and started studying them.
He also entrusted Si Guangzhi to help exchange a large number of medium-grade spirit stones with thunder and wind attributes, although the price was quite high.
Jiang Yun already has a clue about how to persuade the Jinjia Yunjiao clan. When Jiang Yun was completely prepared, it was already twenty days later.
Looking at the jade bottles in front of him, Jiang Yun felt confident.
Originally, Jiang Yun was ready to set off, but he suddenly received a notice from Brother Lingguyin and learned that Xiao Jin was preparing to break through.
Jiang Yun was startled and quickly released a few insects to take a look at the Blue Sky Pearl. He entered the Blue Sky Pearl with a flash of white light and found Xiao Jin.
At this time, Xiao Jin had returned to his original size, a giant spirit crow that stood nearly nine meters tall.
Xiao Jin looks energetic on the outside, with sharp eyes. His spiritual power has not only reached the bottleneck but is also very stable. The blood in his body is also exuding a deep spiritual light, and he is in excellent condition.
Jiang Yun breathed a sigh of relief and said in a deep voice: "Are you ready? Do you need to settle for a while?"
Xiao Jin shook his head and said: "Master, I am in very good condition now, there is no need to delay."
Jiang Yun nodded slowly and flew onto Xiao Jin's back. Xiao Jin spread his wings and his figure suddenly appeared dozens of meters in the air. After a soft cry, he flapped his wings slightly and turned into a golden light and flew towards the distance.
Xiao Jin was extremely fast and soon arrived on a grassland ten kilometers away from the green garden. A huge spirit-gathering array is arranged here, which can condense the spiritual energy of fire and gold in a large area.
Although Xiao Jin has repeatedly told Jiang Yun that the promotion will be successful, Jiang Yun still made a lot of preparations.
After Xiao Jin flew into the formation, Jiang Yun slowly fell from his back to the ground.
Looking at the majestic little Jin Jiangyun in front of him, he couldn't help but think of the first time he met it. That little guy was all black and different from his proud brethren.
Jiang Yun looked at Xiao Jin with bright eyes and slowly stretched out his hands. Xiao Jin also lowered his head in understanding. Holding Xiao Jin's huge head, everyone closed their eyes.
After a few breaths, Jiang Yun let go of his hands, touched Xiao Jin's head and said with a smile: "The little guy has grown so big back then, I can't even hold your head. In the future, if you practice to the eighth level of transformation, you won't be able to hold it anymore." You know how big you can get!”
Jiang Yun took out a jade box from his storage bag, and when he opened it, he found a silvery elixir.
This is an elixir refined by Jiang Yun using more than ten kinds of precious spiritual grass. It can help monster beasts soothe the violent spiritual energy in their bodies and replenish their energy and blood, which is of great help to the monster beasts' advancement.
After taking out the elixir and giving it to Xiao Jin, Jiang Yun decisively turned around and flew towards the outside of the formation.
Watching Jiang Yun leave, Xiao Jin's eyes were extremely bright and he let out a loud cry. Suddenly, a fierce golden flame shot out from Xiao Jin's body, and the golden fire light illuminated the surrounding area into a golden color.
Soon the flames formed a huge fireball and enveloped Xiao Jin. The flames became full and stable from the initial violence, and mysterious golden spiritual patterns loomed on the surface of the spiritual fire.
Jiang Yun looked solemnly and used his spiritual pupils to observe Xiaojin's condition, and found that his spiritual power and blood were rolling and surging like boiling water. The demon pill in his body and the spiritual power all over his body were slowly getting stronger.
At the same time, the nine basic life tail feathers behind Xiao Jin also began to release their power to feed Xiao Jin's demon elixir and body.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Yun finally understood what Xiao Jin meant when he said that his natal tail feathers were very important for advancing to level five.
It turns out that he warms and nourishes his natal tail feathers with good food and drink on weekdays, and will help him in turn when he is promoted.
Jiang Yun waved his sleeves, and several formation flags flew out from his sleeves and were inserted into various corners of the formation on the ground. The formation below Xiao Jin began to activate, and the interlaced spiritual patterns began to glow.
As the formation activated the fire within dozens of kilometers around it, the metallic spiritual power began to be attracted by the formation and condensed towards the formation.
The large amount of spiritual stones stored in the formation began to be slowly consumed, turning into a large amount of spiritual energy. The spiritual energy in the Blue Sky Pearl was already very rich, and it didn't take long for the spiritual energy in the formation to turn into mist.
And the huge fireball began to absorb these spiritual energy like a bottomless pit.
Because the gathering of spiritual energy in a large area was very conspicuous, many spiritual beasts and insects from all around rushed towards this place.
In order to prevent Jiang Yun from affecting Xiao Jin, Jiang Yun ordered all the spiritual pets not to come close, telling them not to worry because Xiao Jin was making a breakthrough, and told them to go back to practice individually.
Qinghuo and Xiaoqing seemed to be stimulated when they learned that Xiaojin was being promoted. After returning to their nests, they began to practice harder.
Among them, Qing Huo felt that he could not be weaker than his juniors.
There is not much age difference between Xiao Qing and Xiao Jin. Xiao Qing watches helplessly as Xiao Jin catches up with and surpasses her step by step from a level lower than hers, and feels a sense of urgency in her heart.
In fact, Xiaoqing, Xiaojin, and Qinghuo are all races with strong bloodlines. They are not only highly intelligent but also have strong self-esteem.
Jiang Yun also temporarily changed his plan and decided to wait for Xiaojin to advance before going to the Valley of Beasts.
According to Xiaojin's description, the thicker the accumulation, the stronger the bloodline, and the stronger the natal tail feathers, the easier it is to break through.
Taking the bird monster as an example, if the bloodline is not strong enough, or the natal feathers are not warm enough, or even the natal feathers are damaged, it will be very difficult to advance to level five.
.....................
While Jiang Yun was practicing daily, a huge army was gathering on the western border of Tianluo Kingdom.
The black lines on the ground extend into the distance, and small black lines gather from all directions like rivers.
These black lines are a torrent composed of countless monks and spiritual beasts. Each monk holds a spear or long sword in his hand.
Although he couldn't see his expression because of the mask, the entire battlefield was solemn and no one was talking to each other.
Many of the spirit beasts were very huge, and every step they took was like a giant hammer hitting the ground. The ground vibrated significantly, and the gravel on the ground shook. The movement could be felt several kilometers away.
More than fifty huge black war boats were spread across the sky, each of which was no less than fifty feet in length and twenty feet in height. The dark spiritual cannons beside them emitted a bright black light in the sun.
These giant war boats are like small floating islands suspended in the sky, blocking large tracts of sunlight. People on the ground looked up into the sky, as if the entire sky was occupied by black war boats.
Countless monks flying with swords were scattered around the giant war boat, like stars supporting the moon.
The dress of these monks is different from that of the monks on the ground. The army of monks on the ground are all dressed in slim-fitting clothes, while the monks in the air are all long-sleeved and wide-sleeved, and their cultivation is above the foundation building stage. They are obviously the elite of the demonic path.
Among the countless war boats, one giant war boat near the front is particularly eye-catching, because it is the only one that is nearly half larger than the other war boats. It has a huge and ferocious collision angle in front, and the entire hull is covered with black metal. Like a huge metal fortress in the sky.
Dozens of monks with powerful auras stood on the deck of this giant ship. Standing on the bow at the front were Wang Tiangu, the master of the Ghost Spirit Sect, and Wang Chan, the young master of the Ghost Spirit Sect, who had had a relationship with Jiang Yun in Yuanwu Kingdom.
Among them, Wang Chan looked hesitant and seemed to hesitate to speak.
"What's wrong, kid? If you have something to say, just say it!" Wang Tiangu said without looking back.
"Father, will it have any impact if the number of cannon fodder we send out this time is smaller than originally planned?" Wang Chan looked worried.
Hehuan Sect and Ghost Spirit Sect collected a large amount of resources and worked hard to make low-grade magic weapons.
Since the quantity could not be replenished at once, he had no choice but to take out a large number of medium-grade magic weapons from the inventory to equip the cannon fodder for those who were in the Qi training period and a small number of casual cultivators in the foundation building period.
In addition, the two sects also recruited a large number of monks from affiliated families and small sects to supplement the number of cannon fodder.
Although the costumes of these families and small sects are different from those of the two sects, they still have their own attire, so the variety will not give people the feeling of being a mob.
Not everyone accepts the magic path, even those who are cannon fodder have to reach the end of their Qi training period.
Even so, the number of cannon fodder is about 20% less than originally planned.
Wang Tiangu couldn't see his expression because of the mask, but his voice was very steady and he didn't seem to be in a hurry.
"Hmph, there are some shortcomings now, but when we occupy the entire Jiang Kingdom and reach the Yue Kingdom border, there will be many more people and horses, and then it will be enough."
"Besides, what we lack is not people, we just lack magical weapons. After the magical weapons in the door are refined, the cannon fodder will be continuously sent to the front line."
Wang Chan nodded thoughtfully, and at the same time he felt a little unbelievable. How could he attack a country and increase his troops instead of reducing them?
"Boy, you still have a lot to learn. Go down and organize the army. Taking down Jiang State this time is also a good training opportunity!"
"Yes, father!"
Wang Chan flew downwards in the air, surrounded by dozens of foundation-building monks and two early-stage pill-forming guardians to protect his safety.
Looking at the army in the sky and on the ground, Wang Chan was excited at this time. He had been dormant since the Sixth Sect of the Demonic Path had a bloody battle with the prairie people of the Righteous Alliance hundreds of years ago and his vitality was seriously injured.
This is the first time that the Ghost Spirit Sect has invaded other countries to expand its territory after hundreds of years.
As the young master of the Ghost Spirit Sect, Wang Chan will definitely make great achievements in this unprecedented battle! Let his father and the old guys in the door understand that he is by no means a prodigal!
"By the way, that guy Gou Quan hasn't come back yet. It seems he really died in the Lu family."
"It's a pity... He and Zhong Wu grew up together with me, and they are quite clever. I didn't expect that they would meet Jiang Yun while delivering supplies."
"I don't know if Zhong Wu is going well in Spirit Beast Mountain..."
"Jiang Yun is really ruthless and doesn't care about the Hehuan Sect's face at all. Jiang Yun, Jiang Yun, you won't hold back next time you meet me, Wang Chan. The Yuling Sect's desire to win over you has nothing to do with our Ghost Spirit Sect. "
Wang Chan suddenly thought of something, looked at the security forces around him, and began to wonder whether Gui Lao and Tong Lao, two early-stage alchemy-forming monks, could defeat Jiang Yun.
After thinking about it carefully, I felt very suspenseful. After all, both of the Lu family's alchemy cultivators were destroyed and they didn't even try to escape.
"...It's better to ask father for more protectors..."
.............................
In an inn in a city in the northern part of Zijin Kingdom.
"Pop!" "Pap!" "Pap!"
"Brother, I was wrong. I never dare to bring up the sect again. Stop fighting!"
"Why do I have such a stupid brother like you? Do you think I don't want to go back? But the problem is that if we go back, we will be dead, do you understand?"
"It's all because you, an idiot, leaked the location of the supplies. The supplies must be gone. In addition, more than 20 of us are dead and only two of us are going back. With the young master's cunning...how can we not be suspicious!"
"You idiot, you probably didn't need to search for souls. You sold us both in just a few words. If you go back, aren't you looking for death?"
"Brother, where should we go next?"
"Countries like the Yue Kingdom and Zijin Kingdom are about to fall into war. Let's continue to escape to the south. I don't want to be harmed by Chi Yu!"
"Brother, you are so smart! If you hadn't often..."
"............"
"Hey, brother, you didn't hit me. I'm really not used to you not hitting me..."
"Snapped!"
A tired sigh sounded: "Who asked my mother to tell me to take care of you again and again before she died? I have really committed a sin!"
.....................
Time flies, and as time passes day by day, the shape of the golden fire group surrounding Xiao Jin gradually increases. Jiang Yun used his spiritual pupils to observe that Xiao Jin's spiritual power and size were also growing.
It had been fifty-four days since Xiao Jin started to break through...Suddenly, the huge fire ball began to change and began to surge towards the center, as if it was being absorbed by something.
Soon Xiao Jin appeared in Jiang Yun's eyes, and all the golden flames were absorbed by the bright spiritual patterns on Xiao Jin's body, and soon the flames disappeared completely.
At this time, Xiao Jin's appearance had changed a lot from before.
The first is body size. Before promotion, Xiao Jin stood nearly nine meters tall. Now he is 15 meters tall. His wingspan is expected to reach nearly 40 meters.
This is far beyond the size of ordinary Haoriwu at level five.
The color of the body is still dark gold, but the spiritual patterns on the body are much more complicated than before, and the nine tail feathers are still golden.
But there are also obvious changes. I can see that there are a few more golden crests on Xiao Jin's head, forming a shape similar to a crown. Two of the crests are particularly long and are floating towards the back.
If Xiaojin only thought it was valuable before, now it looks not only valuable, but also gives people a feeling of incomparable nobility.
Jiang Yun stretched out an arm, and Xiao Jin quickly shrank his body to the size of an ordinary crow, fluttered his wings and flew to Jiang Yun's arm.
Jiang Yun slowly retracted his arm, and Xiao Jin jumped on Jiang Yun's shoulder.
"How do you feel?" Jiang Yun asked.
"I feel like I can now beat the ten I was before the promotion!"
Xiao Jin's voice did not pass through Ziyin, but came directly from his mouth.
Moreover, after being promoted, Xiao Jin's voice became more mature and became the voice of a young man in his twenties.
But the sound is still very nice, and you can tell from the sound that it looks very good.
"According to my bloodline inheritance, there is no need to warm and nourish the natal tail feathers before transforming. Next, you need to improve your cultivation while tempering your physical body with spiritual power."
"The key is to transform into a physical body. If the physical body is not strong enough, it will be difficult to survive the thunder catastrophe of transformation."
This is the benefit of bloodline inheritance. There will be no detours. Every step taken by the ancestors will be passed down through the bloodline.
Jiang Yun nodded thoughtfully. He now had a lot of spiritual fruits that could strengthen the spirit beast's body. He could also refine some elixirs and medicinal liquids to temper and strengthen the physical body.
As an alchemist, Jiang Yun has many tricks and methods that ordinary people can hardly imagine.
At the same time, Xiao Jin has taken the initiative to inform Jiang Yun of his changes after being promoted.
Before being promoted, Xiao Jin had the talent spells of Rainbow and Burning Sun. Later, he successively learned the red rain technique and the invisible spirit technique (changing appearance and condensing spiritual power).
Now after reaching the fifth level, Xiao Jin's golden spiritual fire power has gained a huge increase, and its temperature has reached an extremely terrifying level, which is simply unbearable for some ordinary magic weapons.
Not only the spraying of spiritual fire, but also the power of various fire attribute spells are different from before.
In addition, after Xiaojin was promoted, the spiritual patterns on his body changed, so he gained a new talent ability, Resurrection Yang Yan.
When Xiao Jin was severely injured and dying, his whole body would be surrounded by a fierce golden spiritual fire.
This spiritual fire can not only resist external attacks and protect Xiao Jin, but also recover Xiao Jin's injuries at a super fast speed.
However, there are conditions for the activation of Resurrection Yangyan. First of all, the source of this ability is the mysterious spiritual patterns on the whole body. When Xiaojin has sufficient spiritual power, part of the spiritual power will be automatically absorbed and stored by the spiritual patterns.
The more spiritual energy stored in the spiritual pattern, the better the effect of resurrecting Yang Yan will be.
According to Xiao Jin's estimation, it would take ten years to rely on this innate ability to recover from serious injuries and near death to complete recovery.
During this period, if battles occur frequently and consume a large amount of spiritual power, the storage speed will be affected.
According to Xiaojin's description, this innate ability has never appeared before in his bloodline inheritance of the Haoriwu clan.
Xiao Jin guessed that it might have been obtained because of the bloodline in his body and the cultivation of the True Dharma of the Sun.
Jiang Yun was very envious after learning about this innate ability. Although it took a long time to accumulate it, it is definitely a powerful life-saving body.
After touching Xiao Jin's head, Jiang Yun could hardly suppress the smile on his face.
"You have just been promoted and you still need to consolidate your cultivation. I will take you and Xiaoqing to the Valley of Beasts in a while!"
"I have calculated that it has been thirty-five years since you left the tribe. You can take this opportunity to go back and visit and let your elders know that you are living very well with me!"
After hearing Jiang Yun's words, Xiao Jin thought of his strict father, his friends who laughed at him when he was a child, and his kind fourth uncle.
Looking at Xiao Jin who fell silent, Jiang Yun smiled slightly and left.
Soon it was time to set off for the Valley of Beasts.
