Chapter 137: Don't take it for nothing
Yuan Zhen faction, in the cave.
After Li Xiao sent Nangong Jiaqin, he began to brew two newly obtained Jindan materials.
Originally, he wanted to search for souls first.
But then I thought about it and forgot it.
After all, soul searching will hurt the soul and even shatter it.
In this way, the power of the refined corpse puppet will be greatly reduced, and it will be completely sanity.
This is what he realized from refining Feng Shihai's corpse puppet,
Feng Shihai was the one who forcibly searched his soul first, so that his soul was almost shattered.
So when he refined it into a corpse puppet, although Jin Dan stayed, he was completely devoid of his senses.
If Li Xiao hadn't used the Living Refining Method combined with the Distorted Curse,
Refine the other foundation-building monks into it,
It was impossible for that corpse puppet to reach the third-order mid-rank.
And because of the complete lack of sanity, even if Jin Dan is still there, many supernatural powers can no longer be used.
In particular, the magic weapon cannot be driven at all.
Li Xiao discovered the shortcomings of refining corpse puppets in the past.
This is also the benefit of his ability to continuously enter the state of enlightenment and comprehend the exercises.
"The pure power of the corpse puppet is of course important, but if you can maintain the monk's supernatural powers during his lifetime, and even the ability to use magic weapons, then not only can the corpse puppet's combat power be greatly increased, but it can also pretend to be a monk at some times......"
Thinking so, he decided not to search for the two guys.
After all, he didn't have any news or exercises that he urgently needed to get from the Thousand Mountains Sect at this time.
It is better to keep the intact souls of the two of them and use them to test his new corpse puppet refining method.
"However, my cultivation is still a bit low now, and if I want to use the new corpse refining method to fuse the two materials together and refine a corpse puppet of at least the third order, I must at least upgrade my cultivation and cultivation to the middle stage of Jindan......
Although he was strong at this time, outsiders thought that he had already reached the middle and late stages of Jindan.
In fact, the cultivation is only the second layer in the early stage of Jindan.
After buying a large amount of materials, he originally thought that he would retreat for a period of time and improve his cultivation.
But when I encountered the Qianshan faction, it was delayed.
It can only be said that he has so many things to deal with that he can't be idle for a moment.
This time he was ready to retreat,
Wait until all the materials are consumed, the corpse puppet is refined, and the magic weapon is refined, and then you can go out of the level.
Nangong Jiaqin's Jindan ceremony, he is not ready to participate.
The reason is simple, he doesn't want people from other sects to see the clues.
So he instructed Nangong Jiaqin that if anyone asked, he could directly say that the Great Elder had been injured in the battle with the Qianshan Sect and needed to recuperate, so it was inconvenient to meet guests.
Nangong Jiaqin was a little worried, "Master, if the news of your injury spreads, I'm afraid there will be people with ill intentions ......."
Li Xiao interrupted, "I'm not seriously injured, and you are already a Jindan cultivator, if someone dares to provoke at this time, it is better, kill them together, and get more benefits." ”
Nangong Jiaqin snorted, and said okay in her heart.
Li Xiao instructed, "So in a month, I won't participate in your Jindan ceremony, just entertain those guests by yourself, I estimate that the Xuanyue Sect will also send people to participate, and then you will say that I am in retreat, in short, I don't see the guests, don't care what their reaction is, even if I am not happy, it's fine, isn't it just a Xuanyue Sect......"
Nangong Jiaqin was a little frightened, isn't it a Xuanyue Sect.
Xuanyue Sect, that is one of the two giants of Youzhou,
The only two great forces of the Yuanying.
If you offend the Xuanyue Sect, don't want to stay in Youzhou.
Unless it's another primordial infant force, the Demon Alliance, is dead.
It suddenly occurred to her that this mysterious master could not really be a member of the Demon Alliance.
The Demon Alliance and the Xuanyue Sect, one positive and one demon, were originally not dealt with,
It's normal to send people to infiltrate each other.
This mysterious master, a mysterious demonic skill, magic weapons and corpses are endless, if there is no big force behind him, where to get so many resources.
The more she thought about it, the more she thought it was possible.
But even so, she didn't have any second thoughts about this master.
In other words, even if this is a peerless demon, she has been bound to it, and she will be both prosperous and lossy, and it is impossible to betray it again.
Nangong Jiaqin said secretly, "If there is really a Demon Alliance behind the master, you should be careful, Xuanyue Sect must know that our Yuanzhen Sect has become the power of the Demon Alliance, I am afraid that we will be eradicated as soon as possible, so if the people of Xuanyue Sect really come to participate in the Jindan Ceremony, they must be careful to deal with it......"
Dealing with these interpersonal relationships and other matters, she is actually much better at it than Li Xiao.
After all, he has been the head of the Yuanzhen faction for so many years, and all aspects must be taken into account.
Unlike Li Xiao, who is used to doing whatever he wants,
He didn't feel that he needed to care too much about Xuanyue Sect, not because there was some big force behind him.
Instead, he felt that even if the Yuanzhen faction couldn't stay any longer, he could take Nangong Jiaqin to other places to develop.
After all, the cultivation world is so big, and Youzhou is just one of the states in the Western Regions cultivation world.
And in addition to the Western Regions, there are also places as big as the Eastern, Southern, and Northern Regions.
There's even the legendary Central Celestial Domain.
The two golden pills, but where can they not develop,
Why bother to grovel to others for the sake of a spiritual vein?
Compromises have never been his character.
Of course, he didn't want to go far if he didn't have to.
After Li Xiao finished ordering things, he smiled slightly, "While I haven't retreated yet......"
Nangong Jiaqin's face turned slightly red, and she said with some concern, "Master, you are injured, is it okay?" ”
Li Xiao was serious, "This is a serious cultivation that we are doing, not only can we improve our cultivation, but also can treat all kinds of divine soul damage, it is simply wonderful, you have now broken through the golden pill, but it is just right to help me heal." ”
Seeing this, Nangong Jiaqin also said seriously, "The concubine must do her best to help the master heal......
Li Xiao coughed lightly, "It doesn't have to be so serious, it's too serious, but it has no charm and the effect is not good......"
Nangong Jiaqin's eyes are like silk, "Good master......"
Li Xiao laughed, hugged him, and escaped into the dormitory.
This time it worked out differently.
After all, Nangong Jiaqin has been promoted to Jindan.
After it was over, Li Xiao was refreshed.
After the war, all the mana energy lost was replenished.
The spirit is relaxed, the stress is released, and the mind is naturally refreshed.
Nangong Jiaqin fell asleep like a baby again.
This time it worked out well.
Li Xiao rarely felt that his divine soul had improved slightly.
This kind of improvement is the improvement of the upper limit, not just a simple cultivation improvement.
For Nangong Jiaqin, this benefit will be even more obvious.
This is the capital of her condensation in the future.
As long as the accumulation is thick enough, the condensation is no longer a problem.
Refreshed, Li Xiao returned to the cave.
The two Jin Dan were locked in the formation by him, sealing the Jin Dan mana and being unconscious, and there was also Feng Shihai's corpse puppet guarding it, so there was no need to worry.
So he began to practice in retreat to improve his cultivation.
In the cave, piles and pools of materials were taken out by him, and of course, there were many weird things that were thrown into the soul refining furnace.
Originally, he cultivated, and he only needed the pure yin qi refined in the soul refining furnace to cooperate with the spiritual veins.
And now, because of the unity of the six realms, the resources needed for cultivation are naturally many times more.
The time required for cultivation will naturally be many times longer.
That is, he can enter the state of enlightenment, and the reality is that he has been enlightened for a year a day.
Otherwise, if the longevity is exhausted, I'm afraid I don't want to break through the middle stage of Jindan.
He still has 190 Dao Yun points, which is enough to break through the middle stage of Jindan.
As soon as Li Xiao's mind moved, he entered the state of enlightenment.
The six exercises are running rapidly in a state of enlightenment.
A large amount of materials were refined by the exercises, turning them into pure resources, rapidly improving his cultivation.
On the other side,
Wu Guoqing Ling Lake.
Since Li Xiao went to the Yue Guo Yuanzhen Sect, only the two sisters Xin Qin and Xin Rong and some low-level monks and mortals who had been reserved before were left here.
Xin Qin obtained all kinds of pill resources given by Li Xiao, and finally broke through to the middle stage of qi refining during this time.
And Xin Rong's cultivation has also been upgraded to the sixth level of qi refining, and she can break through the late stage of qi refining just by waiting for the right opportunity.
Although the cultivation of the two of them still looks pitiful,
But you must know that when they met Li Xiao, they were all just low-level minor cultivators at the second and third levels of qi refining.
In just a few years, he has improved several levels of cultivation.
It can only be said that Li Xiao did give them a lot of resources.
However, because of the limited qualifications of the two people, even if there are more resources,
It is definitely impossible to improve much in a short period of time.
When the two of them came over during this time, they would also think of the old man from time to time, and they would be sad.
The lord is good at everything, but his life is not good, and he was affected by the Jindan War, and his body died.
This is what the two often sigh about.
The two live on the island, although their cultivation is not high,
But with the large array repaired by Li Xiao and some second-order puppets, he is not afraid that a monk will come to make trouble.
And because there is a scattered cultivation of the name of the Jindan Ancestor,
The Thousand Mountains faction was also quite polite to it.
During this period of time, there were turbulent storms, and the two factions fought each other, but it did not affect Qingling Lake.
The two sisters were happy to be quiet and practiced behind closed doors.
But they didn't know that they could be so quiet and not be harassed.
But it was Li Xiao who instructed the Yuanzhen faction not to bother when attacking the city.
Otherwise, at this time, the Yuanzhen faction counterattacked, but many of the foundation-building forces of the Wu State were killed.
On this day, the two of them took the scarecrow puppet to inspect the main island as usual, and then returned to the room to practice.
But someone came to report, saying that there was an old man outside the island who asked to see him.
The two sisters glanced at each other, thinking about the old man.
After they came to Qingling Lake, they cut off contact with their original connections, how could there be old people to visit.
When the two came to the island, they were shocked to see the visitor.
Because this man is indeed an old man, when the old man is there, he will come to the island from time to time to drink and talk with the old man.
But at this time, seeing this person made the two of them feel a little bad.
Because this person is Yang Zhen, the head of the Qianshan faction.
Although the two of them have been cultivating on the island, they still know something about what is going on outside.
The main thing is that these things are too sensational,
Even if the two of them don't care,
Ten days later, it has also been rumored that Wu and Yue are flying all over the sky.
So they all knew that the situation of the Qianshan Sect at this time was very bad.
And at this time, Yang Zhen came, I'm afraid there is nothing good.
Yang Zhen saw the hesitation of the two of them standing in the main island formation, and he was not angry, after all, he knew his own affairs.
After seeing him during this time, it would be good to be able to activate the big array directly.
He smiled slightly, "Two fellow Daoists, aren't you welcome to me?" ”
His posture has been lowered very low, and the two of them are called Taoist friends by building a foundation and repairing.
Xin Qin also smiled and said, "Senior Lingling, how can you not welcome it, please come in quickly, please come in ......"
Xin Rong quietly pulled the corner of her sister's clothes and wanted to say something.
Xin Qin said, "Don't worry, there is a Jindan Ancestor behind our Qingling Lake, even if the two factions make trouble, it doesn't matter what happens to us, but at this time, the Qianshan Sect may be desperate, so don't offend them clearly......"
Although her qualifications are not as good as her sister's, she is indeed much more mature and stable in the world.
The two opened the big array and welcomed Yang Zhen in.
"Seniors, please come in, there are many slack, please forgive me......"
Yang Zhen smiled slightly, "It's okay......"
The three of them came to the living room, and after serving tea,
Yang Zhen didn't beat around the bush, so he said, "I came this time to ask to see your ancestor, I have important matters to discuss, I don't know if your ancestor is here?" ”
Xin Qin said, "I'm sorry senior, my ancestor traveled a few months ago and was not on the island. ”
Yang Zhen was slightly disappointed, but he was also ready for the absence.
After all, that loose cultivator Jin Dan, I heard that the cultivation is the method of the demon heart that travels around looking for opportunities.
"Then do you have any way to contact your ancestor?"
Xin Qin hesitated.
She does have the contact information.
When Li Xiao left, he gave each of them a second-order communication jade talisman.
This kind of communication jade charm cannot talk directly, can only transmit a simple message, and the number of times it can be used is limited.
But the arraignment is very far away.
Even if he is thousands of miles away in the country of Yue, he can still receive the message.
Of course, the premise is that there are not too many distractions,
For example, when the Great War is underway, the aura fluctuates greatly, or when you are deep in the ruins of the secret realm.
Yang Zhen saw that the two hesitated, and knew that they must have contact information, but they were unwilling to help.
He took out a storage bag, "Two fellow Daoists, if you are willing to help, these spirit stones are thank you gifts......
Xin Qin didn't answer, but said, "Senior, I think you came here this time to find the ancestor, and it was also for the matter between the two of you, my ancestor is a casual cultivator, and he will definitely not participate in these things, so ......"
Yang Zhen said, "Don't rush to make up your mind first, I came this time, it is indeed for the sect, this matter may be easy for your ancestor, but it can get great benefits, you listen to me slowly first, and then decide whether to contact your ancestor or not......"
So he said the idea that he had discussed with the master.
That is to hope that the Six Dao Ancestors behind them can be used as an offering to the Qianshan Sect and help the Qianshan Sect stand on the platform.
There is no need for him to swear any demon swear, as long as he stands up and shouts for the Qianshan faction, and guards the formation at the critical moment.
The advantage is that it can take 10% of the annual income of the Qianshan faction.
This condition cannot be unaffordable.
It is equivalent to giving away 10% of the pure shares of the Qianshan faction.
And he doesn't have to serve the death force of the Thousand Mountains Sect, and he can slip away if he can't do anything.
After hearing this, the two sisters were also a little shocked.
I didn't expect the Qianshan faction to be so generous.
Yang Zhen said, "I think the Six Dao Ancestors, although the cultivation is the method of the Demon Heart, it definitely needs resources to cultivate, and this time, it may be the opportunity he is looking for, so you still inform him and see what he thinks, if you miss this opportunity, I am afraid that he will be blame......d at that time."
The two sisters looked at each other,
Xin Qin made up her mind and said, "Okay, I'll contact the ancestor, but if I can't get in touch, it's hard to say......"
Yang Zhen smiled slightly, "As long as you try to get in touch, these spirit stones are yours, don't shirk the two of you, I know that if you want to contact your ancestor, you will definitely need to consume runes, which can be regarded as compensation......"
He pushed the bag containing two thousand spirit stones over.
Xin Qin said with a straight face, "No merit is not lost, if we are contacted, the seniors will give us spirit stones again, it will be ......."
Although two thousand spirit stones were already a lot of money for a Qi Refining Cultivator.
But the two of them have the resources left by Li Xiao, and they are not short of money.
The reason why I promised to help contact,
Indeed, as Yang Zhen said, for the ancestor, this may be an opportunity.
As for whether the ancestors were willing to risk offending the Yuanzhen faction to earn this opportunity, it didn't matter to them.
So Xin Qin took out the communication jade talisman and began to try to contact the ancestor.
However, after the message was sent, there was no response for a long time.
Yang Zhen was also a little disappointed.
Xin Qin said, "Senior, why don't you go back first, and when the ancestor has news, we will contact the seniors......"
It's not a problem to always let the people of the Thousand Mountains Sect stay on the island.
If the people of the Yuanzhen faction come and have a conflict, then they will be affected by the pond fish.
Yang Zhen didn't embarrass the two of them, so he got up and said goodbye, and he didn't care about the bag of spirit stones, so he left it.
"Two fellow Daoists, if there is news of the Six Dao Ancestors, please inform me as soon as possible, please, ......"
The two sisters responded and said yes.
After sending Yang Zhen away, the two sighed that it was really eventful.
Since they couldn't contact the ancestor, the two of them weren't going to be too interested, so they started the formation and began to practice.
Unbeknownst to them, ten days later, the two received a reply from the ancestor.
The message is very short, just one sentence, wait for me to come back.
However, it was Li Xiao who used the state of martial arts to retreat for twenty days, and finally raised his cultivation to the third layer of Jindan, that is, the peak of the early stage of Jindan.
He also did not directly break through the middle of Jindan,
Instead, he withdrew from the state of enlightenment and was ready to take a break.
After all, in the state of enlightenment, he had been running the exercises at high speed for twenty years.
Even if you are an ascetic and have been in retreat for 20 years, I am afraid you will not be able to stand it.
So he is ready to relax, adjust his state, and break through the middle of Jindan.
And when he withdrew from the state of enlightenment, he found that someone had summoned him.
When I picked it up, I saw the message from Xin Qin.
