Absolute Desert.

After stepping into the Absolute Spirit Desert again with the Jindan Stage Cultivation, Zhou Chun's discomfort became even stronger.

The aura here is too thin, and the more you cultivate to a higher level, the more uncomfortable you will feel here.

Because the higher the cultivation of an immortal cultivator, the greater his dependence on the aura environment.

It is difficult to raise dragons in shallow water, which is the reason.

Fortunately, Zhou Chun does not need to stay here permanently.

After he identified the direction, he flew straight towards the abyssal canyon that contained the [Earth Mother Xuanjin] ore.

With his current cultivation, it didn't take him half a day to reach the outside of that abyss canyon.

"Stone, it's up to you, do a good job for me, find out all the [Earth Mother Xuanjin] ores underground here, and when the time comes, the [Ancient Dust Pill] will be refined, and I will let you taste it first!"

Above the canyon, after Zhou Chun released the Golden Armor Negative Mountain Turtle Stone, he immediately made a promise of encouragement and promise to let him work hard to mine.

Although these spirit pets obey his orders 100%, sometimes giving them appropriate rewards and promises can also increase their motivation to work.

A typical example is the wood charm.

Now the wood charm is hidden in the purple mulberry tree in the Zhou Chun Cave Mansion and sleeps and evolves, and when it wakes up, it must be a third-order high-grade demon beast.

And when it followed Zhou Chun at the beginning, it was only a second-order high-grade demon beast.

In just one hundred years, after cultivating to the third level in a row, the loyalty to Zhou Chun in its heart at this time is no worse than that of the spirit pet raised since childhood, the Golden-winged Tiger.

Now Zhou Chun is letting it go free, but I'm afraid that it may not be willing!

Sure enough, the stone that got Zhou Chun's promise was instantly full of energy.

At this time, it had been promoted to a third-order mid-grade demon beast, and its strength had improved compared to the beginning, so it immediately escaped into the ground to find the [Earth Mother Xuanjin] ore.

In this way, after half a day, the stone found Zhou Chun more than a dozen pieces of [Earth Mother Xuanjin] ore.

After bringing all the [Earth Mother Xuanjin] ore that he could bring out within his strength in this way, the stone took Zhou Chun to those places where his strength could not pass through through the art of earth escape.

Compared to Zhou Chun's cultivation strength in the current Jindan stage, the strength of its third-order mid-grade demon beast was indeed much worse.

Those dangerous places that it couldn't break into, after Zhou Chun used the [Moon Toad Orb] to cast the "Taiyin Body Protective Immortal Clothes", he easily entered it and brought out the [Earth Mother Xuanjin] ore.

And in addition to the [Earth Mother Xuanjin] ore, Zhou Chun also found some extremely high-quality pure gold ores, and he also excavated these ores and took them away.

You must know that the magic weapon spirit material gold essence is refined from pure gold.

If Zhou Chun's natal magic weapon [Wanhua Golden Ding] is successfully refined, a large amount of gold essence can be refined in the future to increase its power.

Therefore, for the magic weapon spiritual material of Jin Jing, he would not have too much.

To be realistic, Lin Hongyu definitely has no hope of getting married in the future, but she is also a fire attribute cultivator, and the condensed Danhuo is the most suitable for refining magic weapons such as gold essence and iron essence.

As long as Zhou Chun collected enough Essence Gold Ore, he could ask her to use some of her spare time to help him refine Gold Essence in the future.

Even Zhou Mingde can do this kind of thing if he succeeds in the future!

After staying in the Absolute Spirit Desert for almost seven days, Zhou Chun finally collected all the [Earth Mother Xuanjin] and high-quality Pure Gold Ore that he could find in the Golden Armor Negative Mountain Turtle Stone, and then returned to Tuyunling with satisfaction.

The amount of [Earth Mother Xuanjin] ore collected this time is extremely large, and the amount of [Earth Mother Xuanjin] obtained after smelting is completely enough for Zhou Chun to refine the natal magic weapon [Wanhua Golden Ding], and there will even be a lot left.

At that time, he can also use this thing to exchange [Gengjin], [Tianyi Xuanjin] and other top-level spiritual gold, which can be used to improve the power of his natal magic weapon.

It's just that smelting [Earth Mother Xuanjin] can only be done with Jindan stage cultivation, and this matter involves some refining artifact-related.

Therefore, Zhou Chun began to take some time out to practice alchemy.

Later, when he refined the natal magic weapon, he also had to improve his alchemy to the point where he could at least refine a second-order magic weapon, which could be regarded as a dual-purpose weapon at this time.

And with the Jindan period of cultivation to practice alchemy, plus the materials are used casually, Zhou Chun's progress is naturally very rapid.

In just two years, he was already able to refine a second-order mid-grade magic weapon.

At this point, it was no longer difficult for him to smelt [Earth Mother Xuanjin], and he immediately began to smelt this top-level spiritual gold.

At the same time, after more than two years of retreat, Zhou Xinlan also successfully opened the Purple Mansion and broke through to the Purple Mansion Period.

Father and son Shuangzi Mansion, this is a good story in the Zhou family and Yasukuni, and it has also attracted the envy of many clansmen.

Zhou Chun was naturally not stingy with this closer junior, and after Zhou Xinlan came out of the customs, he summoned the other party and gave him the third-order high-grade defensive magic weapon [Xuangang Bead] he used at the beginning.

And after Zhou Xinlan broke through to the Purple Mansion stage in cultivation, his alchemy skills were also improved in the case of breakthrough in cultivation, and he reached the level of Zhou Mingshan, the former great elder of the Zhou family, in one fell swoop.

This can be regarded as making up for the losses caused by Zhou Zhengyuan's failure to open up the Purple Mansion.

……

Yunzhou, Thousand Snake Ridge.

Thousand Snake Ridge is located on the border of Yunzhou, which was formerly the dividing line between the Wilderness Land and Yasukuni.

After the victory of the Yasukuni Southern Expedition to the Dragon Sect, the land was expanded for thousands of miles, and this place was considered to be included in Yasukuni.

However, because of the dense number of poisonous snakes in this Thousand Snake Ridge, there are snake caves everywhere under the mountain range, and few families and forces dare to come here to establish a rudder stronghold.

As a result, it has become a place of adventure for some casual retreats.

After all, the snake demon is a treasure, whether it is snake scales, snake eyes, snake gall, snake blood and other materials on the body, or snake eggs and other things, they are all very good selling things.

And in such a place where demon beasts gather, it is naturally indispensable to the figure of the Zhou family monks.

On this day, Zhou Xinyan and Zhou Xinchen, monks of the Zhou family's foundation building period, personally led the team and led a team of twenty or thirty people to break into the Thousand Snake Ridge.

They had come for a snake nest this time, and someone had found two second-order fire scale pythons and a large area of fire snake grass in that snake nest.

Zhou Xinyan contracted two demon beasts, one was the mid-level demon beast Blue Feather Fire Kite that the family had rewarded him at the beginning, and the other was the Red Flame Dragon Python.

Among them, the Blue Feather Fire Kite has been hatched since he was in the Qi refining period, and his foundation is good enough, and now he has cultivated it into a second-order mid-grade demon beast.

However, the Red Flame Dragon Python was a spiritual pet that was only hatched after he successfully built the foundation, and it was a low-level demon beast bloodline, and now it was still in the realm of a first-order high-grade demon beast.

With Zhou Xinyan's potential and cultivation, of course he couldn't tolerate that his Chiyan Dragon Python had been staying at the first level, and he had been planning things to help him break through and advance all these years.

The two second-order firescale pythons discovered this time were the spirit pets he identified as breaking through the fate.

If the fire scale python reaches the second order, it will also awaken a trace of fire dragon blood in its body, if it can take its snake gall and mix a three-hundred-year-old dragon grass for the Chiyan dragon python to swallow, there is a six- or seventy-percent chance that the Chiyan dragon python can evolve and break through to the second order.

It's just that the strength of the two second-order firescale pythons is extraordinary, and they are still the kings of the firescale python race, although Zhou Xinyan's cultivation is only one step away from the late stage of foundation building, he is not sure that he will be able to take them alone.

So after thinking about it, he reported his needs to the family and asked them for help.

So after Zhou Xinyi consulted Zhou Chun, he arranged this Thousand Snake Ridge training operation, and asked Zhou Xinchen to take a group of young monks of the Zhou family to assist Zhou Xinyan to complete the task of exterminating the snake cave.

"Most of the demon snakes of the Thousand Snake Lacewings are highly poisonous, although we are fully prepared this time, and there are Xiaolian's nieces who can help detoxify, don't be careless, don't take it easy!"

"You must know that you will go out alone to experience in the future, but no one will help you detoxify at any time!"

After entering the Thousand Snake Fly, Zhou Xinyan told the entourage with a solemn expression.

This operation is mainly to help him, so he must not let anyone have an accident.

Otherwise, don't say that he can't get by with his conscience, and he has to pay out of pocket in terms of compensation and compensation.

And although he is a high-grade spiritual root qualification and has received a lot of preferential treatment in the family, in fact, because he does not have the help of blood relatives and elders like Zhou Zhengyong and others, after he successfully builds the foundation, he has to rely entirely on his own hard work.

At least in terms of assisting in the development of the Purple Mansion spiritual objects, it is impossible for the family to give it to him for free like Tsukidan, and it is necessary to exchange it with its own good deeds.

Fortunately, these Zhou family monks have been educated in the school since childhood, and they are very good in terms of obedience, and Zhou Xinyan's cultivation identity can also deter them, but at this time, they are all very obedient, and no one dares to mess around.

In this way, on the way to the nest of the fire-scaled python, Zhou Xinyan and Zhou Xinyi would specifically look for some first-order demon snakes to practice for these juniors, so that they could adapt to the life-and-death struggle with the demon snake first.

But after observing it, Zhou Xinyan frowned, and couldn't help but say to Zhou Xinchen: "Although our family is famous for its beast control technique, how can these juniors sharpen their will to fight with these demon snakes purely with contract demon beasts?" Shouldn't they be allowed to face the monsters head-on? ”

He personally participated in the previous war against the invasion of demon cultivators, and personally killed many demon cultivators on the battlefield, including three demon cultivators in the foundation building period, and he can be regarded as a person with rich combat experience.

So at this time, when I saw that those juniors of the Zhou family only dared to hide behind the contract demon beast and fight with the demon snake, they were completely playing soy sauce, and they suddenly couldn't look at it.

As soon as he mentioned it, Zhou Xinchen also realized the problem in this regard, and after thinking about it, he gently bowed his head and said: "Well, Brother Yan, what you said is also reasonable, with the two of us taking care of it, there will be no problems in the future." ”

After the two reached an agreement, they followed what Zhou Xinyan said, and let those juniors keep the contract demon beast by their side and fight against the demon snake by themselves.

In this way, these juniors who could still crush the demon snakes of the same level were suddenly beaten by the demon snakes one by one, and most of them had to rely on the rescue of the two monks in the foundation building period.

There are even several people who have accidentally been poisoned by snakes, and they can only take antidote pills to remove the poison, which is very painful.

But there are also people who have performed well.

That person is the poison cultivator Zhou Yuanlian!

I have to say that the practice of "Ten Thousand Poisons True Scripture" is powerful.

Zhou Yuanlian's spiritual root qualification barely reached the threshold of a medium-grade spiritual root, but after she transferred to this exercise, now that more than ten years have passed, her cultivation has reached the ninth level of the qi refining stage and has become a late-stage qi refining cultivator.

At this rate, although she had wasted ten years of cultivation time before, it should not be a big problem to build a foundation before the age of forty.

As an experimental product of Zhou Chun, the Zhuji Dan she used to build the foundation, Zhou Chun will definitely prepare it for her.

And with the poisonous skills she cultivated in the late stage of qi refining now, the toxins of those demon snakes not only couldn't hurt her in the slightest, but they would also be directly refined by her to enhance the power of the poisonous skills!

I saw that as soon as she pinched the magic trick with both hands, a blue-gray water arrow shot towards a first-order high-grade demon snake.

This looks like a water arrow like "water archery", but in fact it is a much more powerful "poison arrow".

As soon as the arrow hit the demon snake, it immediately turned into poisonous water and corroded its scales and skin, and the toxin instantly entered its body and poured into its body.

Then only a few breaths passed, and this demon snake, which was itself highly poisonous, died directly under Zhou Yuanlian's mixed toxin!

Seeing this scene, Zhou Xinchen also changed color slightly, and couldn't help but say to Zhou Xinyan: "No wonder the patriarch values Xiaolian so much, the ability of this "Ten Thousand Poisons True Scripture" is indeed weird and powerful, and when she succeeds in building the foundation in the future, I am afraid that you and I may not be able to be her opponent if we have a realm advantage!" ”

There was no envy in his words.

But Zhou Xinyan replied in a calm tone: "This is all she deserves, think about the pain she suffered when she cultivated, who of you and I can bear it?" ”

He is also a person who has cultivated the top exercise "Jiamu Xuangong", and knows that these powerful exercises are equal to pay and return.

As far as he is concerned, when he broke through the middle stage of foundation building, he almost went mad and died.

It was also with that experience that he was not so eager to break through to the late stage of foundation building, and wanted to polish his mana as much as possible first, and prepare some auxiliary spiritual objects to reduce the probability of going mad and then break through.

And in terms of danger, the "Ten Thousand Poisons True Scripture" will only surpass the "Jiamu Xuangong" he cultivated!

It is not for nothing that the true poison cultivation inheritance in the immortal cultivation world is so rare and the number is so rare.

Although Zhou Xinchen is not cultivating top-level exercises, he also knows this truth, and he also knows the general process of Zhou Yuanlian's cultivation of the Ten Thousand Poisons True Scripture.

Therefore, as soon as he heard Zhou Xinyan's words, he didn't envy anything, and accepted the reality with peace of mind.

In this way, the group walked and stopped, and after walking among the thousand snakeflies for several days, they arrived near the snake nest of those fire-scaled pythons.

At this time, after a few days of training, the mental outlook of those younger generations of the Zhou family suddenly changed.

That's one of the benefits of being a family monk.

From an early age, you can receive systematic education and training, and do not take detours.

After growing up and cultivating, you can also be taken out by the seniors of the family to practice, learn how to behave in the world, and learn the art of fighting.

On the other hand, those casual cultivators, whether or not they are taught by a master, are definitely not treated as well as family monks.

The Flame Python's nest is not located deep underground like many snake nests, but in a rocky valley.

The rocky valley is overgrown with weeds and rocks, and where the stones are connected to each other, there are many crevices and caves where snakes can hide.

The fire scale python usually hides in the valley during the day and does not go out to forage for food until night.

Zhou Xinyan had already made a plan to deal with the fire scale python.

He first released his spirit pet Blue Feather Fire Kite and let it hover over the Rocky Valley as a predator, looking for an opportunity to prey on the fire scale pythons in the valley, so as to force the two second-order fire scale pythons out.

I saw a blue-black blue-feathered fire kite circling and flying over the Rocky Valley, and after a short time, it swooped down with a roar, and instantly flew into the rocks and grabbed a fiery red python that was three feet long.

The python was grabbed by the blue-feathered fire kite, and its body was pierced and hung by the sharp claws, and the snake's body kept writhing trying to break free from the confinement.

But the blue-feathered fire kite was firmly in control of its snake body, and the talons had even caught its spine keel, and it was useless to let it struggle.

After a short time, the blue-feathered fire kite grabbed the fire scale python and flew down in front of Zhou Xinyan.

Seeing this, Zhou Xinyan immediately cut off the snake's head with a sword, took out the snake's gallbladder and fed it to it.

After eating the snake gall containing the essence of the fire scale python in this way, the blue feather fire kite let out a satisfied hiss from its mouth, and immediately flapped its wings and took off, continuing to hover over the Troubled Stone Valley.

As the saying goes, one can no more, but two can not be three.

A fire scale python was captured by the blue feather fire kite before, and it can be said that the two second-order fire scale pythons didn't notice it, and they were successfully attacked by it.

At this time, it came over again in a short time, obviously not taking the entire group of firescale pythons into account.

This made the two second-order firescale pythons who had already given birth to wisdom not be annoyed.

When the blue-feathered fire kite swooped down again, two second-order fire scale pythons flew out directly from their hiding place, spitting fireballs and blasting at it.

What a blue-feathered fire kite!

At that time, in the face of the flanking attack of the two second-order firescale pythons, it quickly pulled up in a "U" shape and rushed upward, avoiding the bombardment of the two fireballs in the blink of an eye.

Bang! Bang!

The two fireballs that fell into the air exploded in mid-air, turning into fiery red fireworks.

The blue-feathered fire kite flapped its wings, and more than a dozen blue-white flame arrows rushed towards one of the slightly smaller second-order fire scale pythons.

Seeing this, the fire-scaled python hurriedly gathered its strength and bloomed a fiery red aura on its body, forming a spiritual light protection.

But as the blue-white flame arrow landed on it, it burst open, and the powerful force instantly tore through the protective aura, leaving a lot of scorched scars on its body.

Although it is also a fire attribute demon beast, it is obviously still immune, and it is still immune, and it is still immune, which is cultivated to a blue-feather fire kite natal demon fire that is a small realm higher than it.

And this injury also completely angered it and the other fire scale python, and the two demon pythons rose into the air and pounced straight towards the blue feather fire kite like two fire dragons.

On the other side, seeing that the two fire-scaled pythons had been lured out of the hole by the blue-feathered fire kite, Zhou Xinyan and Zhou Xinchen galloped towards the battlefield even if they drove away.

Zhou Xinyan's cultivation is high, his strength is strong, and his speed is even faster, and he turned into a turquoise light and flew to the battlefield first.

But seeing him raise his hand and pat the storage bag on his waist, a blue-black sword light shot towards a fire-scaled python.

At the same time, a small cyan flag quickly appeared in his hand, and with a swing, he released a turquoise wooden knife and slashed towards the other firescale python.

When the blue-feathered fire kite saw its master coming, it was no longer clumsy, and immediately opened its mouth and spit out, and a light blue flame turned into a fireball and bombarded towards the big fire scale python.

This time the master and servant joined forces, and it worked wonders in an instant.

The two second-order firescale pythons were suddenly injured under the joint attack of the master and servant, and each let out a painful hiss.

However, the demon beast's vitality was tenacious, and even though the two fire-scaled pythons were not lightly injured, they did not lose their combat effectiveness on the spot.

I saw that as soon as they opened their mouths, a fiery red poisonous mist surged towards Zhou Xinyan and the blue-feathered fire kite, and then the two demon pythons immediately flew down to the ground, trying to hide in the snake's nest.

But Zhou Xinyan had long been on guard against their move, how could he make them succeed!

With a low cry from his mouth, a turquoise light appeared on his body, forming a turquoise shield to protect himself in it, and he forcibly received the fiery red poisonous mist attack.

At the same time, he waved his hand and knocked out a purple-black rope magic weapon, and the rope suddenly came first to tie up the big fire scale python.

And Zhou Xinchen, who was one step behind before, also rushed to the battlefield at this moment, and when he saw that the fire scale python was about to escape, he directly waved his hand and sacrificed an earthy yellow short stick magic weapon to hit the small fire scale python, and knocked it out with a stick.

After failing to escape like this, the two second-order firescale pythons immediately hissed and called for the clan's help.

Soon, the figures of the firescale pythons appeared on the ground below, and then one by one fireballs spewed out of the mouths of those firescale pythons, bombarding towards Zhou Xinyan and the others.

Looking down from the sky, at this time, the fiery red pythons in the Rocky Valley are swimming around, and there are no less than hundreds of them at a glance!

However, the attack of the first-order fire scale python was harmless to the two foundation building stage cultivators.

They easily dodged the attacks of those fireballs while attacking the two second-order firescale pythons with all their might.

After almost half an hour passed like this, the blue feather fire kite swooped and pecked the seven inches of the big fire scale python, and then Zhou Xinyan took the opportunity to nail through the python's neck with a sword, and the master and servant teamed up to take the lead in the battle.

After the fall of such a powerful Great Fire Scale Python, the remaining second-order Fire Scale Python was also quickly awarded.

And after killing the two second-order firescale pythons, Zhou Xinyan and the others let Zhou Yuanlian and other juniors also enter the battlefield, using the remaining first-order firescale pythons as whetstones to sharpen themselves.

With two elders in the foundation building period taking care of them at the scene, those juniors of the Zhou family were all energetically driven to kill the spirit pets to the target.

For them, this is a very rare opportunity, not only to increase the experience of life and death without much danger, but also to harvest the demon beast materials they have killed.

Therefore, their correct approach is to take advantage of the fact that they are now participating in the training task with the elders to take care of them, and try to kill as many demon beasts as possible to earn good merit spirit coins, so as to add some background to the experience of going out alone in the future.
