Taking advantage of the gap between Qingxuanzong and Qingxuanzong's collection of materials for refining puppeteers, Zhang Zhixuan took the Huozhi Pill and prepared to retreat for a period of time to see if his cultivation could go further.

Thirteen years have passed since he broke through the fourth layer of Jindan.

In the realm of the Jindan period, the accumulation of thirteen years is far from enough to break through.

However, Zhang Zhixuan is not an ordinary monk, a monk like him who creates his own exercises, as long as he understands the path, his cultivation is far faster than that of ordinary monks.

The types of elixirs that can increase the mana of Jindan stage monks are extremely rare, and even the Tianyuan Sect, the Yuanying Sect, only has two kinds of pills.

Huo Zhidan was able to increase his mana for twelve years, and his performance was already very good.

However, this elixir has a relatively large restriction, and it is suitable for monks who practice fire attribute exercises, and the effect of wood attribute exercises is halved. If a water-attribute monk takes it, not only can it not enhance mana, but it will burn the veins and cause a mana conflict in the body.

There were only two pills of the elixir refined last time, and the Huozhi Pill had relatively strong side effects, and only one pill could be taken in a short period of time, otherwise the meridian dantian would not be able to bear it at all.

There are only two Jindan monks in Qingxuanzong who practice fire attribute exercises, Zhang Zhixuan and Luo Ziyan, Luo Ziyan is far away in Qinglihai, and it is impossible for Zhang Zhixuan to teleport back and forth and send the elixir to her.

If you can't find a sixth-order Xuankong Stone, and you can't refine a cross-continent teleportation token, it will be difficult to reduce the cost of teleportation, and you will need tens of thousands of spirit stones to come and go.

The price of a Fire Zhi Pill is only tens of thousands of spirit stones, and it is really not worth running so far and wasting a lot of effort.

Therefore, this elixir, Zhang Zhixuan and Chen Yunfeng exchanged a fifth-order elixir and left it to Xia Youqing of the Huanshui Sect.

Huanshui Sect Sanjin Dan, Xia Youqing is a fire spirit root monk, who was severely injured by Lu Shaoling more than a hundred years ago, and his injuries have just recovered, and he is not very familiar with Zhang Zhixuan and others.

More than 300 years ago, when Wu was in turmoil, she was just 200 years old when she successfully married Dan, and her path was far more smooth than Chen Yunfeng and Lin Ruohua.

I thought that I could make rapid progress on the way, and even refine it into a Yuan Baby, so that the Huanshui Sect could reach a higher level.

It's a pity that the next three hundred years were full of twists and turns, first in the Xuansu Sect's civil war, and after the defeat, he recuperated for many years.

finally advanced to the middle stage of Jindan, and met Lu Shaoling again, and was seriously injured and delayed for more than a hundred years.

You must know that her spiritual root is more than Hanyan, Qingxuanzong, Huanshui Sect, and Tianchan Cave have more than a dozen golden pills, and only she and Qingchan are Tianlinggen monks.

When she first entered the Tao, she was almost accepted as a closed disciple by Liu Xuanyan.

It's a pity that Chen Yunfeng's master, Yan Hongyao, will not let go of her, and she must be allowed to support the portal.

Yan Hongyao was Liu Xuanyan's best friend back then, if Xia Youqing followed Liu Xuanyan back then, her future would be limitless, even if she couldn't refine into a Yuanying today, she could cultivate to the point of Liu Guyan.

Xia Youqing's age is not much different from Liu Guyan's, and his spiritual root qualifications are also more than a notch, and the Heavenly Spiritual Root cultivator is suitable for cultivating the Ziyang Heavenly Fire Technique.

It's a pity that creation makes people, Xia Youqing failed to worship Liu Xuanyan after all.

Despite this, Xia Youqing couldn't blame his master.

She came from an ordinary background, and she was a young man, but it was her master Yan Hongyao's insight that raised her, taught her exercises, and led her to the path of cultivation.

Yan Hongyao's value for her is even higher than that of her eldest disciple Chen Yunfeng.

This is often the case when monks seek the Tao, and after arriving at Jindan, the spiritual root can no longer be the decisive factor.

Chances and circumstances have come to the forefront.

At the point of Jindan stage monks, there are very few foreign things that can be relied on, even if the Shenmu Sect is good at alchemy and medicine, the fifth-order spirit pills refined every year are very few, and it is not enough for the high-level monks of the sect to digest internally.

The elixir sold by the Shenmu Sect is often also a thing for healing, life-saving, and refining the law, and the elixir that can really enhance mana and assist in breaking through the bottleneck is very rare on the market.

Xia Youqing had bad luck, she had just married Dan, and Liu Xuanyan was never heard from, losing her biggest backer.

She is Chen Yunfeng's younger sister, and her master Yan Hongyao is Liu Xuanyan's best friend. Although Yan Hongyao's cultivation is not high, he has not been able to marry Dan in his life, and he is only a Purple Mansion monk.

It is impossible for Xia Youqing to throw herself into Yang Xuanzhen's disciples and turn her back on her master, even if she has this idea, it is impossible to win Yang Xuanzhen's trust.

After three hundred years of bad luck, Xia Youqing finally waited for his opportunity.

After taking the Fire Zhi Pill, he broke through to the fifth layer of the Jin Dan in one go, and his cultivation went further.

On the contrary, Zhang Zhixuan's accumulation was slightly insufficient, although he increased some mana and cultivated to the peak of the fourth layer of Jindan, he fell short after all, and did not break through the realm.

After coming out of the retreat, Qingxuanzong also collected a lot of materials for refining puppets, and Zhang Zhixuan also began to learn the spells of refining puppets.

He has already cultivated to the Golden Pill, and his comprehension ability is far beyond that of low-level cultivators, and he can skillfully control the temperature of the flame, and it is easy to get started with refining low-level magic weapons.

The puppet is a combination of magic weapons, which requires the foundation of the refiner, and also needs to understand some formations, in addition to learning some spells such as soul enchantment, to stimulate the power of the yin soul in the heavenly soul crystal, so that the puppet can have spirituality and can be manipulated freely.

Zhang Zhixuan is a master of manipulating flames, and he has also read a lot of formation classics over the years, and he can also arrange some basic Qi training period formations, and even the spells of soul refining, soul possession, and soul attraction can be used proficiently.

After only two or three months of study, he began to refine low-level puppets.

It was very easy to refine a first-order puppet, and just by getting started for the first time, he had successfully refined a first-order puppet beast.

It's a pity that the first-order puppet is very cost-effective, and the material value consumed is more than dozens of spirit stones, so they can't use a spell at all, and can only rely on their strong bodies to attack the enemy.

A mature mid-stage Qi cultivation cultivator has a way to destroy this kind of low-level puppet, which is not very useful in the monk's fighting method at all.

After refining into a first-order puppet, Zhang Zhixuan immediately prepared to refine a second-order puppet beast.

The difficulty of refining a second-order puppet beast has increased tenfold, and even Zhang Zhixuan, a Jindan stage cultivator, failed four times before refining the first second-order puppet beast.

The materials consumed to refine a second-order lower-grade puppet beast are about two hundred spirit stones, and ordinary low-level cultivators have to fail at least forty or fifty times if they want to get started, and the resources consumed are about ten thousand spirit stones.

With such a high threshold, most low-level cultivators simply can't afford it.

Therefore, the mature puppeteers on the market are often masters above the Purple Mansion period.

After refining the first second-order low-grade puppet beast, Zhang Zhixuan immediately put this item on the exchange list of the Qingxuan Sect's General Affairs Palace.

With the passage of time, three months later, Zhang Zhixuan refined into a second-order middle-grade puppet beast, and after half a year, a second-order high-grade puppet beast appeared on the exchange list.

A normal monk, because the strength of his divine sense is not enough, can only command two puppet beasts of the same rank.

With the help of two puppet beasts of the same rank, the low-level monks could easily defeat their opponents.

The key factor why the Wanfa Sect has become the hegemon of the Qi State is that the monks of this sect have cultivated unique exercises, and their divine sense surpasses that of ordinary monks, and they are able to command more puppet beasts.

It's a pity that this kind of exercise to enhance divine consciousness is not in the collection of Qingxuanzong.
