Zhang Hao realized that Nian Ci was blaming him for going home for too long, afraid that he would delay his cultivation, although the tone was very unkind, but his practical intentions were still good.

"Disciple Zhang Hao greets the peak master!" Zhang Hao saluted.

"Get up, I thought you didn't know you were back...... Promoted to an inner disciple and returned to the worldly scenery, everyone should admire you, so chic. Hmph, since you're greedy for enjoyment, what are you doing back?" Nian Ci snorted coldly.

"Peak Master, you misunderstood!" Zhang Hao was not in a hurry, and roughly explained what happened after returning home.

After listening to what Zhang Hao said about going home this time, Nian Ci couldn't help but be slightly moved, and said: "Since this is the case, it is understandable, but since you have chosen to cultivate this path, there are some things that you have to learn to face." It's just that your father has left you now, and in the future, the relatives around you who can't cultivate will leave one by one after a hundred years. Monks, learn to endure loneliness!"

"Spiritual practice is a very hard thing, and I hope you can go through this event and grow. ”

"Thank you for your enlightenment!" Zhang Hao said.

Nian Ci waved his hand, "I'm not enlightening you. You don't have a master, you can only rely on yourself for cultivation, no one urges you, you don't slack off just because you are promoted to an inner disciple, three months later, it will be the Wufeng Sword Club of the new inner disciple at the end of the year, although you are a blockbuster when you are promoted to the assessment, but your talent is only like that after all, it can't be compared with the disciples who are focused on cultivating by those few sects. I don't expect you to shine again at the Wufeng Sword Meeting, I just hope you don't be too embarrassed. ”

Zhang Hao's heart moved slightly, although Nian Ci's tone was a little indifferent, but in fact, he cared about himself, seeing that he was not supervised by his master, he would go to check if he had returned to Tai'a Feng during this time.

"The disciple will follow the teachings of Bishop Feng and will definitely work hard to cultivate. Zhang Hao nodded.

"Okay, I won't say more, you go down!" Nian Zi waved his hand.

Zhang Hao immediately said goodbye and returned to his cave.

In the next few days, Zhang Hao built a small courtyard outside the original cave mansion, so that the stone cave became a secret room of the new cave mansion, Zhang Hao cultivated in the secret room, and Zhang Ling'er, Song Xuening and Sun Hu lived and cultivated outside.

This time, Zhang Hao retreated for seven days, mainly to review the way of the formation, Zhang Hao already had a plan to start refining and alchemy, and the way of the formation is the foundation of refining and alchemy, so to speak, the formation mage may not know alchemy and alchemy, but an excellent refiner and alchemist is definitely a clever array mage.

In fact, Zhang Hao's attainments in the way of formation are not very outstanding compared to his swordsmanship, and even in the immortal world, he can only be regarded as an extremely mediocre formation mage, so alchemy and refining weapons can only be said to be mediocre.

But no matter how bad it is, it is also an immortal array master, and the formations arranged are all immortal arrays, and no matter how simple an immortal array is, I don't know how many times more clever than the most complex mortal array in the Ten Thousand Spirits Realm.

Zhang Hao knew that in the Ten Thousand Spirits Realm, whether it was a formation mage, an alchemist, or a refiner, they were all divided into ten levels.

From the first-level array mage (alchemist, refiner) to the tenth-level array mage (alchemist, refiner), the direct gap between each level is very large, the tenth-level array mage is also called the heavenly array master, and the same tenth-level alchemist and refiner are also called the heavenly pill master and the celestial weapon master respectively. Every heaven-level master has an extremely noble status, even if it is a powerful monk in the Tribulation Period, he must be polite to a heaven-level master.

Although Zhang Hao is just a decent immortal array master, although he can't take it out in the immortal world, after all, he is at the "immortal" level, and he can still fool mortals in the mortal world.

His attainments in the formation, as well as the level of alchemy and refining, are far from being comparable to a Heavenly Array Master, and the Heavenly Array Master must comprehend the level of "Immortal" before he can be called an Immortal Array Master in front of him.

Seven days later, Zhang Hao was released.

Sun Hu and Song Xuening were both cultivating, only Zhang Ling'er was alone in a bored daze in the courtyard, and when she saw Zhang Hao coming out, Zhang Ling'er immediately ran over happily.

"Brother, you finally came out, you are all cultivating, I'm so bored by myself!" Zhang Ling'er pouted and said coquettishly.

Zhang Hao slapped his forehead, and secretly said that he was really not a competent brother, and he didn't expect that his sister couldn't cultivate. Once Sun Hu and Song Xuening also retreated, only my sister would be bored.

It's okay when you're in the world, but when you're bored, you can go to the streets, or go to other friends to chat and play. But in the Sword Washing Sect, it was different, all the monks in the Sword Washing Sect were monks, and every day had to be spent on things related to cultivation, and no one had time to chat or play with Zhang Ling'er.

"Sister, do you want to cultivate?" asked Zhang Hao.

"Of course I want to!" Zhang Ling'er replied without hesitation, but soon her aura dimmed, and she said with some loss: "However, I don't have a spiritual root, so there is no way to cultivate!"

"What if I have a way to get you to cultivate?" Zhang Hao asked again.

"Then I will definitely work hard to cultivate, cultivate very, very hard! I think I will definitely cultivate to the highest level and become an immortal through the tribulation!" Zhang Ling'er said longingly.

Zhang Hao looked at Zhang Ling'er with a smile and said, "Okay, as long as you have this determination, brother, I will help you realize your dream of cultivation!"

"Brother, aren't you telling the truth, are you? Can I really cultivate?" Zhang Ling'er was a little incredulous, looking at Zhang Hao expectantly with a pair of big eyes.

"Silly girl, when did my brother deceive you?" Zhang Hao rubbed Zhang Ling'er's hair, and said: "However, my brother just has a way, but there are no materials yet, as long as the materials are complete, I can help you refine the elixir that blindly derives the spiritual root." ”

"The elixir derived from the spiritual root?" Zhang Ling'er blinked, "Is there really such an elixir?"

Zhang Ling'er had obviously never heard of this elixir, in fact, there was indeed no such elixir in the Ten Thousand Spirits Realm. Without a spiritual root, there is no way to cultivate, this is the common sense of the world of all spirits, the so-called common sense is the theorem, the truth that has been passed down by everyone for countless years.

But Zhang Hao is the one who broke this theorem, he does know how to refine the elixir derived from the spirit root, which is the so-called Derivative Spirit Pill, and the materials for refining the Derivative Spirit Pill are not very advanced, but some refining techniques and techniques are not at all understandable by the alchemists of the Ten Thousand Spirits Realm.

Zhang Hao had already made up his mind to collect the materials for refining the Derivative Spirit Pill, not only for Zhang Ling'er, but also because of himself. Zhang Hao's cultivation of the Hongmeng Immortal Method to improve his talent also requires the use of Yanling Pill.

The first spiritual grass that Zhang Hao planned to collect was Bigen Lian, because Bigen Lotus could not only refine the Spirit Pill, but also the first-level pill Qi Condensing Pill, which was of great use to the monks of the Qi Refining Realm, not only to improve their cultivation, but also to replenish their true qi during the battle.

When Zhang Hao came to the sect's task office, he found that this task hall that was not too big was already crowded with disciples, and most of the disciples were staring at a piece of jade, which recorded the tasks issued by the sect.

"Kill the five sides of the Jiangyang thief, and the reward contribution is worth 10,000 points!"

Zhang Hao's gaze fell on the taskbar of the highest level, and he couldn't help but secretly speak, 10,000 contribution points can be exchanged for countless pills and magic weapons, even if you exchange the cultivation time of Sword Valley, you can change it for at least ten years.

However, Zhang Hao also knew that this kind of difficult task was not something he could get into now, so he didn't think much about it, and Zhang Hao directly looked for the task of collecting Bigenlian.

Soon Zhang Hao found the task option of collecting Pygan Lotus in the low-level task bar: Collect Pygan Lotus, and exchange ten plants for one contribution point.

"Ten plants only exchange for a little contribution point?" Zhang Hao couldn't help but be dumbfounded, killing a Jiangyang thief with 10,000 contribution points, and collecting ten green root lotus plants only had a little contribution value, this gap is really too big.

However, Zhang Hao obviously didn't come to accept the sect task in order to exchange the contribution value, he didn't need to exchange the contribution value for pills and exercises, and he didn't need to go to the Sword Valley to cultivate, he came to check the sect mission just to see where there was Bigenlian.

"Elder, I'm going to take on a task to collect the Pygenlian!"

Zhang Hao handed over the identity jade plate, received a jade slip from the hand of the task elder, his divine sense was immersed in the jade slip, and soon some information about Bigenlian surfaced, and Zhang Hao didn't need to look at the introduction of Bigenlian at all, he just jumped over, he just needed to see where Bigenlian was collected.

"Water Moon Cave Heaven, Water Moon Island...... There are often first-level demon beasts lurking near Bigenlian......"

Just as Zhang Hao finished checking the jade slip, a woman's voice came: "This junior brother, are you going to do the task of collecting Bigen Lotus?"

Zhang Hao looked at the person who spoke, it was a female cultivator in a green dress who practiced qi eightfold. Beside her, there was another man, this man was practicing qi ninefold, and there was obviously a trace of contempt in his gaze when he looked at Zhang Hao.

"This junior brother, my name is Wang Yu. This is Senior Brother He Shun, we are also going to collect the Bigen Lotus, although the level of the Water Moon Beast is low, but this kind of demon beast lives in groups, if there are few people, it will also be dangerous. In addition, although Senior Brother He has been in the industry for less than three years, he is already at the ninth level of Qi training, and Senior Brother He went with him, presumably there is no danger this time. Why don't you go with us, and it's a lot of care. Wang Yu asked.

Zhang Hao could see that this Wang Yu's eyes were full of reverence and admiration for He Avoid.

Arching his hand, Zhang Hao smiled and said, "Under Zhang Hao, I have seen Senior Sister Wang and Senior Brother He. Then there will be two people to take care of one or two along the way!"

He Shun's face was cold and he did not speak.

However, Wang Yu said politely: "This is easy to say, since they are the same family, they should help each other." Senior Brother Jiang might as well go and prepare for half a day, and we will gather in Fang Market in three hours, right?"

"Okay!" Zhang Hao didn't say more, he just had this plan, but when Zhang Hao just turned around, he heard He Shun's contemptuous voice coming: "Senior Sister Wang, I didn't say you, how can you let a seven-fold qi cultivator go with us." That would only hold us back. ”

Wang Yu said with some apprehension: "Senior Brother He, can't I find anyone? Besides, this task is not too difficult, and it is barely possible to practice Qi Sevenfold......

When Zhang Hao heard this, he didn't listen to the conversation between the two anymore, snorted coldly and went straight to Fang City.
