The fifth day of April.

Repair to progress +330, 5010/10,000 on the fifth floor of Yudan;

Third-order Spring Water Sutra +3300, Grandmaster 49,500/240,000;

The true skill of the Xuangui Negative Monument is +3300, and the Grandmaster is 37,800/240,000.

After finishing this routine retreat and sorting out the results of this practice, as soon as he opened his eyes, Meng Zhou saw a body swimming flexibly like a snake's body from the dome above.

Meng Zhou's heart moved, stretched out his palm, and the long body that swam flexibly in the air shrunk into a coiled string, lying quietly in Meng Zhou's palm.

"Uncle, I'm back." Yaya's voice sounded directly in Meng Zhou's heart.

Looking at the girl at this moment, Meng Zhou's face was surprised:

"Yaya, have you really found the right spiritual material?"

Yaya's voice replied with a little arrogance: "Otherwise? Do you think I'm talking about it? ”

As she spoke, her voice paused, and then she said:

"Uncle, you see, I'm not lying, you can't detain me anymore."

Hearing this, Meng Zhou didn't agree, but he didn't refuse either, but thought about it seriously before saying:

"I have a few conditions."

"You say!" Yaya couldn't wait.

"One, you can only operate underground under any circumstances." Meng Zhoudao.

"Yes." The girl replied immediately, as if she was afraid that he would regret it.

"Attention, I'm talking about any situation, even if there is a spiritual material that suits your heart on the surface of the ground close at hand, you can't go against it!"

This time, Yaya didn't answer immediately, and seemed to hesitate for a while, before she said in a firm tone: "Okay, I promise." ”

"Second, you can only move within a hundred miles of the Aurora Cave Mansion."

As he spoke, without waiting for Yaya to answer, Meng Zhou emphasized:

"A hundred miles is a hundred miles, not even one more mile."

This time, Yaya didn't hesitate anymore, nodded and said, "I promise." ”

"Third, if there is a third-order demon or a Jiedan monk moving around, no matter what the situation, you must return as soon as possible."

"Yes...... Anything else? ”

"No, that's all."

After reaching an agreement, Meng Zhou could clearly feel the joy in Yaya's heart.

I don't know if it's the change in Yaya's mentality, or the objective result of the improvement of her rope body, Meng Zhou has an obvious feeling in his heart that the knot technique he is comprehending has become much smoother.

"Perhaps, both of these factors are at play."

Thinking like this in his heart, Meng Zhou couldn't help but say in his heart: "It seems that in the future, we will indeed give Yaya more freedom of movement." ”

When Yaya broke through from the second order to the third order, because of Meng Zhou's preparation, Yaya's level directly reached the level where the third order lower grade was close to the middle grade.

"Rope Spirit 3rd Order 3000/10,000"

But that's not Yaya's limit.

Not to mention that she devoured a large amount of the ownerless divine will taken from the Statue of Detachment, and she already had a higher growth potential.

Even if this factor is aside, the upper limit of the growth of the "Rope Spirit" is also strongly related to his "Knotted Master" realm.

Theoretically, before equaling his knotting master realm, Yaya's growth was unlimited.

And the reason why she stayed at the third order and did not make progress was only because of insufficient resources.

The resources she needed to grow up at the third level were the third-order spiritual materials that belonged to the five systems of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

Compared to the second-order when the recipes only included wood and earth, this promotion has more than doubled the range of her recipes.

Not only that, but she also has the ability to find "food" within a certain range, that is, the five spiritual materials.

It stands to reason that Yaya, with these abilities, has been able to be "self-reliant".

In a third-order vein like Tianqi Mountain, it is like living in a rice warehouse, and growth is a natural thing.

The reason why there has been no progress so far is that Meng Zhou also thinks so.

"Since Yaya's growth after the third order is so easy, then there is no hurry, it doesn't matter if it's early or late, it's not too late to finish the most urgent plan before thinking about it."

"Wait for the beast tide to end, wait for the beast tide storm to end, and then take some time to do this."

This is a very logical arrangement in Meng Zhou's mind.

And there is actually a premise implied in this, that is, even if Yaya has gained the ability to act independently and "forage for food" alone, Meng Zhou has never thought of letting her act alone.

What he thought in his heart was that when Yaya was wandering around Tianqi Mountain with her newly acquired ability and "foraging" everywhere, he would inevitably follow her at all times.

He thought so, but Yaya stopped doing it.

At the second order, she was already holding back fiercely, and now she is coming again?

So, whenever there was a chance, she broke her thoughts in Meng Zhou's heart.

It's a chatter, it's a reassurance, it's a plea.

Eventually, Meng Zhou was persuaded by her before this retreat and allowed her to move within a certain range.

Of course, Meng Zhou, who agreed to Yaya's invitation, did not really let it go, but after many attempts, he had confirmed that even if he was in a state of deep meditation and retreat, he could still sense Yaya's state with his natal connection.

This is the real reason why he was persuaded by Yaya.

It's just that to Meng Zhou's surprise, this first outing, Yaya gave him a surprise.

When he returned, he had quietly completed the transformation from the third-order lower grade to the third-order middle grade.

From "third-order 3000/10,000" to "4000/10,000".

From this progress, you can imagine how much she has gained in just four and a half days.

However, from another point of view -

"On this day, Qishan is really an untapped treasure trove."

After negotiating with Yaya, Meng Zhou's heart moved, and a five-aggregate spirit gourd that was warmed in the dantian appeared in front of him.

Then, a thread of blood flew out from Meng Zhou's heart.

There were no wounds, and the blood seemed to seep directly under the skin.

After a long while, Meng Zhou did not stop extracting the essence blood from his heart until his own state reached a certain critical point, and the Five Aggregates Spirit Gourd returned to the dantian.

In the dantian, five five-aggregate spirit gourds are warmed in it.

And the five aggregates spirit gourd itself is an excellent treasure for warming all kinds of spiritual materials and spiritual objects.

Although it is slow, over time, it will bring positive improvement to the spiritual materials stored in it.

Since the individual strength of the Golden Beetle Spirit Worm had all reached the third-order mid-grade level and expanded its number to five thousand, the essence blood that had been stored for nearly ten years had also been exhausted.

Meng Zhou also stopped feeding.

He began to make a long-term reserve of the essence blood in his heart again.

The swarms of gold beetles, which have consumed a large amount of blood in their hearts in a short period of time, deliberately keep them in a state of hunger and thirst.

After practice, Meng Zhou found that this is the most reasonable way.

On the one hand, there is no waste of essence and blood in the heart, and it will also gain positive gains under the continuous warmth of the five aggregates.

On the other hand, being full for a while and hungry for a while, this rhythmic "relaxation" is the most beneficial to the growth of the swarm.

Moreover, as if gathering momentum, the more hungry you are, the fiercer and aggressive the golden beetle swarm, the stronger the extreme desire for devouring and growth in the depths of the bloodline.

Of course, the premise is not to starve to death.

However, the Golden Beetle Spirit Worm, whose individual strength had reached the middle grade of the third order, starved to death?

Normal people don't have such worries.

……

Through the Ice Heart Blood Lotus clone that stayed in Sanchuan Plateau, in addition to his calm cultivation, Meng Zhou had also been paying attention to the general changes in the Qingxuan Domain.

Through the information reported from the Changle Chamber of Commerce, the Pharmacist Branch, and the news shared by other professional branches.

There is also information submitted by forces such as the Sanchuan Society, the Blue Blood Army, Qiandao Lake, and Wucailing.

While Meng Zhou clearly grasped the changes in the whole situation, he also had a special feeling in his heart.

The entire Qingxuan Domain cultivation world was like wrought iron on the chopping board, and this demon beast frenzy that spread throughout the entire outer ring area was like a giant hammer that smashed wildly.

It is not only ravaged, but it is also a process of continuous forging and refining.

Since the Qingxuan Sect lifted its restrictions on the entire Qingxuan Domain more than ten years ago, and even took the initiative to support it, the strength of the Qingxuan Domain's cultivation world has been unprecedentedly expanded.

From Qi training, to foundation building, to fake pills, and even knotted pills, the number is far more than before.

And this has actually caused the entire cultivation world to be too "fat" and uneven.

Although everyone had made the most mental preparations, when the first wave of the beast tide slammed in, all the monks who were in front of the beast tide were violently impacted.

It was also the time when the casualties were the most serious, the most tragic and the situation most dangerous.

There were many Qi cultivators, and even foundation building cultivators, who had not fully adjusted, and had already died tragically under the minions of demon beasts.

It was completely relying on the huge size of the Qingxuan Domain's cultivation world, as well as the proper scheduling and preparation of the Qingxuan Sect, that it was able to resist.

It was also the riskiest two months.

After carrying through the first two months, the defensive line, which was originally a little shaky and felt like it could be broken at any time, finally resisted the impact of waves of beast tides from the front.

- It should be emphasized here that the tide of beasts is like the waves of the sea, they come in waves.

Each vein is a breeding ground for it, brewing outward in waves, from small waves to large waves, and finally forming a frenzied effect.

When a wave of "frenzy" is curtailed to a certain extent, this wave will retreat, and with the help of the breeding and warming of the hotbed, a new wave of frenzy will be brewed.

Wave after wave.

There are crests, there are troughs, there are waves, and there are waves.

Instead of what many cultivators imagined, all the demon beasts in the evil veins lost their minds at a certain moment, and they rushed together in a certain direction. Unless you die, you will keep moving forward.

Not so.

No matter how fierce the beast tide is, it is composed of demon beasts after all.

And as long as it is a demon beast and a living creature, no matter how crazy the bloodline is, it is impossible to maintain the state all the time, there must be ups and downs, high and low.

The defense line formed by the cultivators only needs to resist their momentum at the "rising tide", and after the "tide" falls, the beast tide will collapse, the threat will be lifted, and the water dogs will be beaten, and then wait for the next wave of beast tide to hit.

This is the battle mode between the cultivator and the beast tide.

After carrying the initial danger, as the beast tide continued, all the teams became more and more resilient and refined.

It's like a hundred refined iron that has been forged repeatedly.

In just half a year, there are many forces and individuals who have stood out because of their outstanding performance.

Although many foundation building monks died, the number of foundation building monks did not decrease but increased, because more Qi cultivators became foundation building monks.

The overall combat power has been significantly improved.

Sanchuan Plateau is a case of a peak monk who successfully rushes through the pass every month, among them, although there is Qingxuanzong who has released the resource library in the sect, as long as the military merit is enough, it can be exchanged, giving more opportunities, but this ferocious tempering is also an indispensable part.

As for those who took the opportunity to break through to the False Dan realm, there were even more.

Silently watching these changes, Meng Zhou's practice and life were as always, unaffected.

In August, because of two things, Meng Zhou was a little distracted.

One thing happened in the Spirit Realm.

Under his warning, Sun Yongxian, who had been hiding in the mundane society for a year, returned to the cultivation world.

After more than half a year of fierce turmoil, the general environment of the spiritual realm cultivation world has returned to stability.

Although it is still in turmoil, it will not be affected for no reason.

In order to ensure the safety of their return, Meng Zhou also spent some time controlling the Linglian clone over there to let Sun Yongxian and the other core layer quietly return.

With Sun Yongxian and others quietly returning, they quietly "restarted" Mingxin Pavilion, which had been shut down for a year.

Although under the impact of the general environment, there are many defects, but the large frame is still retained.

The "vision" that has been "blind" for a year has brightened up again.

After introducing the information of the Spirit Domain into the "Interpretation World" in a relatively comprehensive way over the past year, the first thought that arose in Meng Zhou's heart was-

Unconsciously, the Spirit Control Domain had a bit of the appearance of the Qingxuan Domain.

After injecting the deadly venom into the Spirit Sect and stirring up the entire Spirit Domain, the Sect of Hatred once again disappeared from everyone's field of vision.

However, the strength of the Spirit Control Sect fell to less than half of its heyday, and almost all of its strength shrank back into the third-order spirit vein where its mountain gate was located.

And in order to prevent the recurrence of the Sect of Hatred, avoid facing the threat of this poisonous snake alone.

The Spirit Control Sect took out more interests, resources, and opportunities to pull many non-Spirit Control Sect forces in the Spirit Control Domain into the camp to replenish and strengthen their strength.

This objectively created a situation similar to that of the Qingxuan Domain—that is, the cultivation forces other than the Spirit Control Sect had gained an unprecedented growth atmosphere.

The difference is that Qingxuanzong took the initiative to loosen the bindings, while the Lingling Sect had to do it as a last resort.

Another thing was that at the beginning of the year, he officially brought the Danqi Domain Mingxin Pavilion under control, and was silent for more than half a year, and after the situation in the Hehuan Domain cultivation world slowly stabilized, Meng Zhou officially brought the Hehuan Domain Mingxin Pavilion under control.

Since then, the Five Domains Mingxin Pavilion has all been controlled by him.

He had a pair of eyes that shone across the five realms.

……

The fifth day of the ninth month.

Repair to progress +330, 6660/10,000 on the fifth floor of Yudan;

Third-order Spring Water Sutra +3300, Grandmaster 66,000/240,000;

The true skill of the Xuangui Negative Monument is +3,300, and the Grandmaster is 54,300/240,000.

After finishing this practice, Meng Zhou did not leave the customs immediately, but waited quietly for a while.

As time passed, a hint of surprise flashed in Meng Zhou's heart.

"This girl, what's going on?!"

Since reaching an agreement with Yaya, every time Meng Zhou retreats and practices, Yaya will move freely in the underground within a hundred miles around the Aurora Cave Mansion, "foraging" everywhere.

Her strength has also improved again and again in a very short period of time, and before this retreat, she had already advanced from the first third-order middle grade to the level close to the third-order upper grade.

"Rope Spirit 3rd Order 6500/10,000"

According to her progress in the past few months, Meng Zhou was even ready to see that Yaya had been promoted to the third-order upper grade level after leaving the customs this time.

But the current situation is that Yaya has not come back at all.

"This girl, is she having fun and forgetting the time?"

Through the natal connection, it was confirmed that there was nothing wrong with Yaya, and Meng Zhou gently put down the worries that had been raised, urging Yaya to return.

After a while, Meng Zhou looked up in the direction of the dome.

I saw a phantom shadow that seemed to be real and illusory drilled out of the rock wall, instantly spanning a distance of thousands of meters, and fell into Meng Zhou's palm.

Meng Zhou was about to beat Yaya, but Yaya's voice had already sounded in his heart:

"Uncle, I found something very strange."

Meng Zhou's heart froze, "What did you find?" ”

Yaya immediately began to tell.

Maybe she was too excited in her heart, and the content of what she said sounded fragmented and upside down, but Meng Zhou still heard what she wanted to express from her words.

Since being promoted to the third order, Yaya has the ability to perceive "food" within a certain range.

These days, Yaya has also followed this induction, looking for "food", eating, and then growing.

And as the amount and variety of "food" eaten increases, this induction is also exercised.

Gradually, this sense of induction became a peculiar "sense of smell", and she could not only sense food, but also roughly confirm the grade and type of "food".

It was also at this time that she confirmed that there was a faint "aroma" that had been attracting her, but this "aroma" was not in her "recipe menu".

The reason why she didn't return on time this time was because she was diverted from her mind by this "aroma".

"What do you think that's that?" Meng Zhou asked.

Yaya replied honestly: "I don't know." ”

As she spoke, the maid paused, "After knowing that this aura has another source, the first thing I thought of was the ownerless divine will, but after thinking about it carefully, it was not right...... It feels very different. ”

Her addition shocked Meng Zhou's heart.

Not only because of the information itself, but also because as this new information entered the "deductive world", Meng Zhou suddenly found that the background of the five domains had suddenly dimmed by two points.

Not to mention the Qingxuan Domain and the Spirit Control Domain, which were already in a state of "gloomy clouds", even the Jinding Domain and the Danqi Domain, which had become bright and sunny again, had quietly dimmed by two points.

"It's ...... Yaya accidentally dug up a nuclear bomb buried deep in the ground? ”

Meng Zhou couldn't help but think like this, half complaining and half self-explanatory.

Thinking like this in his heart, Meng Zhou's mood had quietly calmed down.

Sensing the change in Meng Zhou's mentality, Yaya asked cautiously, "Uncle...... Is there anything wrong? ”

The cautious tone seemed to be afraid that his actions would cause trouble.

Meng Zhou shook his head: "Yaya, don't worry, you have made a great contribution!" (End of chapter)
