Spring goes to autumn, flowers bloom and fall.

In the blink of an eye, Zhang Zhixuan has been in retreat in the Devil's Cave for three years.

In the past three years, Zhang Zhixuan's quality of refining puppet beasts has become better and better, and in July last year, he had successfully refined third-order high-grade puppet beasts.

With the inheritance of the puppet master, Qingxuanzong and Huanshui Sect have occupied the treasure land of the Evil Ghost Cave, and the heritage has become more and more sufficient in recent years.

Qingxuan and Huanshui have increased their investment in the Demon Cave in the last year or two, and the immortal cultivators here, in addition to Zhang Zhixuan and his wife, have already had six Purple Mansions, and more than 100 monks have been stationed for a long time during the foundation building period, and the resident population in the Fang City has exceeded 10,000 people.

A large number of spiritual fields have been opened up on the mountain, and fifth-order high-grade formation protection has been arranged.

With such a strong garrison, even if the Yuan Infant Stage Monk came to attack, he would not be able to break through the protection of the formation without backup.

Since last year, Zhang Zhixuan had already started refining fourth-order puppet beasts, but unfortunately he failed to refine three times in a row, wasting three fourth-order Heavenly Soul Crystals.

Such a serious loss has made Zhang Zhixuan a little unbearable.

In the Demon Cave, many low-level ghosts can be generated every year.

However, it is equivalent to the ghost cultivation of the Purple Mansion Period, and there are only seven heads in the entire Evil Ghost Cave.

In the previous few years, because Zhang Zhixuan wanted to refine a fourth-order puppet beast, he had already ordered him to hunt three of them.

In order to avoid fishing with all his might, Zhang Zhixuan could only pass down the edict again and stop hunting ghosts above the foundation building period within 30 years.

In just three years, Zhang Zhixuan had refined more than 100 third-order puppets, which greatly enhanced the combat power of the Qingxuan Sect's foundation building period monks.

Even Xia Youqing of the Huanshui Sect has secretly learned the spell of refining the puppet.

Refining a puppet requires learning to refine a weapon first, and for Zhang Zhixuan, Xia Youqing and other Jindan stage cultivators, refining a low-level magic weapon is not too difficult.

Refining magic weapons above the fourth order is a challenge for them.

Whether it is refining weapons or talismans, you need to be proficient in formation runes.

Zhang Zhixuan has Qingchan often instructs, and his alchemy can progress rapidly.

Qing Chan's formation level has been restored to the fifth order upper grade, and the talisman making technique has been restored to the sixth order lower grade, although it is far from being comparable to the previous life, but it is second to none among the high-level monks of the Qingxuan Sect, the Huanshui Sect, and the Tianchan Cave.

In the Southern Wilderness, it is also one of the best players.

It's a pity that she is a water spirit root cultivator, except for using the spirit water pregnancy pill technique to refine several special pills, it is not suitable for long-term alchemy and refining.

Dealing with the extremely high temperature of the earth fire all day long is very detrimental to the path of Qingzen.

Now that the situation of the three sects is still unclear, it is the time to race against time, Qingchan will naturally not be distracted, and spend a lot of energy to learn the art of alchemy and refining.

On the contrary, Wu Xianlong and Lin Wanqiu, the two Purple Mansions stationed in the Devil's Cave, learned to refine puppets under the platform near the water.

Lin Wanqiu is a relative of Lin Ruohua, and his status is the same as that of Zhang Sihong of Qingxuanzong, and he is already the purple mansion of the core of Huanshui Sect.

However, the time for the two of them to practice is still relatively short, and now they can only refine second-order high-grade puppets.

If you want to make progress in this area, you need a lot of material to practice.

It's a pity that Zhang Zhixuan has already issued an edict to let the ghosts in the Evil Ghost Cave recuperate for thirty years, and he can't hunt high-level ghosts for the time being.

If the two of them want to refine a third-order puppet, I'm afraid they will have to wait for many years.

Although the puppet is of great help to the monk, it is a pity that the sacrifice puppet will also be subject to a lot of restrictions.

First of all, limited by the strength of the divine sense, there are a number of puppets that each monk cultivates.

Even if the cultivators of the Ten Thousand Law Sect and the Heavenly Puppet Sect cultivated the exercises to enhance their divine sense, they could only sacrifice up to four puppet beasts of the same rank, and it was impossible to sacrifice a large number of puppet armies to defeat their opponents.

Secondly, there is a distance limit for manipulating golemmons. For example, Zhang Zhixuan, his divine sense can be spread out for fifty miles, and the puppet beasts he manipulates can only move within ten miles of the vicinity.

After more than ten miles, the puppet beasts he cultivated were useless, whether it was a fifth-order giant wolf puppet or a third-order iron bull puppet, they were all the same. Progress can only be made if the consciousness continues to increase.

Thirdly, when the puppet receives the order, there is a time to react, and it does not communicate with the monk's mind. This reaction time, when you meet an experienced master, you may be caught by him and destroy the puppet beast in advance.

Finally, the puppet beast is more afraid of spells that attack the divine sense, especially the purple qi divine light cultivated by Qing Chan and Zhang Zhixuan, which is the nemesis of the puppet master.

When the divine light falls, it can dissipate and dissolve the divine consciousness.

The key to the puppeteer's battle is actually to rely on the Divine Consciousness Differentiation Spell, which requires the differentiation of several divine consciousnesses and possession of the puppet in order to control it freely.

Zhang Zhixuan sent out a transmission note to recruit Wu Xianlong into the cave.

He pointed to the empty seat and said, "Don't stand, sit down first!" The reason why I called you here is because there is one thing that troubles you to run your legs. Master has fifteen third-order puppet beasts in his hands, and I am going to leave these puppet beasts to the Lushan County family. Because Sihong is not in the Evil Ghost Cave, I bother you to go to Tiantai Peak, exchange these thirteen puppet beasts for family good deeds, and hand them over to Sijin himself.

In addition, there is a slight gap in the spirit stones in the master's hand, you take my identity token to exchange 100,000 spirit stones from the Zongmen Mansion Treasury and send it to the Demon Cave. ”

After explaining the matter, Zhang Zhixuan pointed out some difficulties in Wu Xianlong's exercises, and then personally sent him out of the cave.

Just when Wu Xianlong rushed to Lushan County, Yang Xuanzhen on the Goddess Peak looked at a letter with a solemn expression, and then handed the letter to the hands of the eldest disciple Yu Hanxiang.

In the civil strife more than three hundred years ago, although Yang Xuanzhen defeated Liu Lingjun, she was unpopular in the sect, especially in the hearts of low-level monks, her reputation was very stinky.

However, Yang Xuanzhen and Yu Hanxiang are very good at cultivating disciples, and when Xuansuzong was in full swing, they had already cultivated seven Jindan disciples.

It was precisely by relying on his own large number of people, coupled with the fact that Yanghuo Palace sent a lot of reinforcements, that Yang Xuanzhen drove away Liu Lingjun and firmly controlled the power of the sect.

Yu Hanxiang's longevity is a few years older than Chen Yunfeng, unless he gets a great opportunity, there is no hope for a baby in this life. She is very loyal to her master and is Yang Xuanzhen's best helper.

Seeing this letter, Yu Hanxiang frowned and said, "I didn't expect that after decades of hard work, the country of Yu has turned the world upside down. It seems that Liu Lingjun must be hiding inside the Yu Kingdom, otherwise this small country will definitely not have the resources to cultivate Jindan masters one after another. ”

Yang Xuanzhen nodded and said, "More than two hundred years ago, Liu Lingjun hid in Yu Country, and she also fought with me once, which shows that she has spent hundreds of years of effort in the layout of Yu Country. The three golden pills of Huanshui Sect are from Yan Hongyao's sect, so they will naturally follow Liu Lingjun wholeheartedly, and now that she controls Yu Kingdom, the layout is estimated to be in Qingxuanzong, can she find out the chess pieces she fell now? ”
