Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Bloody Demon Knife
The "Ten Thousand Miles Soul Chasing Technique" was not as easy to cast as Zhou Yang imagined, and after the ancestor of the Chen family got the blood of the sand bandits he provided, he still needed to prepare a special altar to cast the spell.
This is also the first time Zhou Yang has heard that to cast spells, he also needs to prepare altar materials.
In line with the principle of asking if you don't understand, after returning to the residence arranged by the Chen family for the three foundation building monks of the Zhou family, Zhou Yang was very curious and asked the old patriarch Zhou Minghan this question.
Not only is he curious about this question, but so is Zhou Xuanhao, the time for their father and son to build the foundation is still too short, and in terms of knowledge and experience, it must not be as strong as Zhou Minghan, a senior foundation building monk who has built the foundation for more than a hundred years.
Moreover, whether the ancestors of the Chen family can succeed or not is related to whether their Zhou family can get a Zhuji Dan in a few decades, so they naturally have more reason to care about this matter.
"Xiao Jiu, it's normal that you don't know about this, in fact, many monks don't know that the [Ten Thousand Miles Soul Chasing Technique] is actually not a fourth-order high-grade spell, but a real fifth-order spell!"
"However, many years ago, when a senior monk was studying the secret method of blood sacrifice of the Demon Dao, he found that some aspects of this spell could be replaced by the blood sacrifice technique of the Demon Dao, so that the monks of the later stage of the Purple Mansion also had the possibility of using the altar to perform this technique. ”
"However, the art of blood sacrifice is an evil art strictly forbidden by the Immortal Dao, so the senior monk improved the blood sacrifice technique of the Demon Dao and created an alternative method of replacing the blood sacrifice technique with the formation altar. ”
"With the help of the formation altar to cast spells, this is originally an auxiliary means for high-level monks to cast high-level spells, it is said that high-level spells above the fifth order, the casting time is often recorded in half an hour or a quarter of an hour, if there is no formation altar assistance, this level of spells cannot be used in actual combat at all!"
Zhou Minghan looked at Zhou Yang's father and son with a curious face, and slowly said the news he knew.
These news, which are not for the foundation building period monks, are difficult to come into contact with, and even many scattered foundation building period monks will not be able to come into contact with these news in their lifetime.
The circle of high-level cultivators who cultivated above the Purple Mansion period was actually relatively closed, especially in places like the Boundless Sand Sea Cultivation Immortal Realm, where it was not very convenient to travel from various places, it was usually difficult for high-level monks to see each other for decades, let alone fight.
This has led to many low-level immortal cultivators who have never seen these high-level cultivators fighting in battle, and they don't have an intuitive understanding of the fighting methods of high-level cultivators at all.
Most people will still think that the battle between high-level monks is the same as the battle between monks in their Qi training period and foundation building period, they all rely on magic weapons and spells to fight, but the magic weapons and spells of high-level monks are more advanced!
In fact, there is a big mistake in this, the high-level monk's fighting method, the means and tricks are more than the low-level monk, I don't know how much, and I don't know how much more exciting.
After Zhou Minghan gave Zhou Yang and his son a "popular science" about the situation of high-level monks, he finally sighed to the two with emotion:
"The Boundless Sand Sea Immortal Cultivation Realm is relatively closed, and the Baishahe Oasis Immortal Cultivation Realm is even more rare for high-level cultivators to fight, and it is normal for you to see less, in the future, when you cultivate to a high level, you will travel more to other large oases, and communicate more with the foundation-building monks in the Huangshamen sect, you will know that the fighting methods between high-level immortal cultivators are not only simple means such as magic weapons and spells!"
When Zhou Yang and Zhou Xuanhao heard his words of emotion, they couldn't help but glance at each other, and they both saw a hint of yearning in each other's eyes.
Although they just listened to Zhou Minghan describe some scenes of high-level monks' battles, the two of them had already made up a lot of things in their minds, if what Zhou Minghan said was true, then the scenes of fighting between high-level monks were really fascinating!
Zhou Minghan looked at the pair of father and son with wandering eyes, who didn't know what they were thinking, and immediately waved his hand angrily, interrupting the imagination of the two and said: "Don't think so much now, you have to have a long experience, there will be opportunities in the future, now Xiao Jiu, you immediately go to retreat to refine the elixir that Chen Laozu gave you, the loss of essence and blood is not a joke, don't take it seriously." ”
Although Zhou Yang was young, he also knew the value of essence and blood, and since Zhou Minghan spoke, he quickly entered a quiet room and retreated.
The "Jade Essence Pill" given by the ancestor of the Chen family is ranked in the third order, and it has a miraculous effect in restoring the essence and blood lost by the monks in the foundation building period, and he spent seven days and seven nights refining all the medicinal power of this elixir, and finally made up for all the essence and blood lost by performing the "Blood Escape Technique".
The lost essence and blood made up for it, and Zhou Yang's pale face like a tuberculosis ghost finally returned to normal.
However, after he recovered, he did not leave the customs immediately, but sorted out what he had gained from going out this time.
There are two main parts of the harvest, one part is the harvest obtained from the "Thousand Machines Cave Heaven" expedition, and the other part comes from the sand bandit in the foundation building period who was killed by him with the "Qianyang Heavenly Sword".
In the "Thousand Machines Cave Heaven", Zhou Yang got a third-order low-grade refining instrument Ding furnace "Phoenix Pattern Purple Gold Ding" and several kinds of secret techniques to inherit, at that time, because Chen Pingzhi was in a hurry to come back, he and the other party did not have time to refine the magic weapons they had just obtained in their hands, let alone comprehend those secret techniques.
At this time, Zhou Yang took out the "Phoenix Pattern Purple Gold Ding" from the storage bag, looked at this shining third-order magic weapon, and couldn't help but shake his head.
This expedition to the "Thousand Machines Cave Heaven" also taught him a lesson, if he gets treasures such as magic weapons that can directly increase his combat effectiveness in the future, it is better to sacrifice and practice as soon as possible.
If Chen Pingzhi was not in a hurry to come back at that time, but first refined the magic weapon and puppet beast he obtained in the cave mansion, the final result would be completely different.
As a third-order low-grade magic weapon, the "Phoenix Pattern Purple Gold Ding" can not only be used to refine weapons, but also has the function of storing the enemy's true fire.
Some foundation-building monks who practice powerful fire-based exercises often have magical powers such as "Three Flavors True Fire" and "Xuanyang True Fire".
After Zhou Yang cultivated the "Phoenix Pattern Purple Gold Ding", when he encountered this kind of monk who used his true fire supernatural powers, he could use magic weapons to collect the other party's true fire and temporarily abolish the other party's divine powers.
Of course, if the enemy's True Fire Divine Power is too strong, such as his "Qianyang True Fire" Divine Power, with the grade of "Phoenix Pattern Purple Gold Ding", it will be difficult to suppress it.
It took Zhou Yang about three days to refine the "Phoenix Pattern Purple Gold Ding", and after he finished refining this magic weapon, he had time to rummage through the storage bags he picked up from the sand bandits.
This is the first time he has obtained the storage bag of the foundation building monk, and the volume of this storage bag alone is three zhang in size, and the storage bag that Zhou Yang mainly used before building the foundation is also this volume.
Of course, after he built the foundation, he changed a storage bag with a volume of five zhang from the family treasury, so with the current storage bag, he has three storage bags with a volume of more than one zhang in his hands.
There are not a lot of things in the sand bandits' storage bag, there are more than 2,000 spirit stones in it alone, and there are also a lot of second-order elixirs and magic weapons, magic runes, as well as spirit grass, elixirs, and jade slips, these things, eighty or ninety percent of them were looted when they attacked the Baisha River Oasis last time.
However, this sand bandit obviously does not have a high status among the sand bandits, last time they ransacked the Baisha River Oasis, to say the least, they also grabbed ten or eight third-order magic weapons, but when he fought with Zhou Yang, there was only one third-order low-grade flying sword available.
That third-order lower-grade flying sword was a fire-attribute flying sword, and Zhou Yang could also use it, but he already had two attack magic weapons, the "Red Xuanjin Light Sword" and the "Poisonous Fire Flying Fork", so he didn't plan to refine this kind of magic weapon with overlapping functions.
It just so happens that the newly opened "Yuquan Building" of the Zhou family still lacks a treasure of the town store, this third-order low-grade flying sword, and Zhou Yang plans to hang it in the building as the treasure of the town store to attract popularity.
He slightly divided the things in the sand bandits' storage bag into subcategories, took out all the raw materials that could be used for refining, alchemy, and talisman making and put them in one storage bag, and divided the finished treasures such as magic weapons, spirit runes, and spirit elixirs into another storage bag for storage, and then listed those jade slips and books separately and divided them into the third category.
As the patriarch of a Xiuxian family, Zhou Yang deeply knew what the most important thing for a family was, this thing was not a powerful magic weapon, nor a certain elixir or spirit rune, but a knowledge inheritance.
No matter how powerful the magic weapon is, it must have enough strength to use it, no matter how easy the elixir and spirit rune are, they are also consumables, which can only be used by a few people, and they will be gone when they are used up.
Knowledge, on the other hand, can be passed down through the ages and benefit all members of the clan.
Therefore, Zhou Yang is always more attentive to all kinds of jade slips that record knowledge than to things like magic weapons and pills.
His divine sense was released, and he looked at the jade slips one by one, ready to select these jade slips again, and separate the secret techniques of the exercises from the anecdotes and collect them.
But he didn't want to look at it, so he saw something that made his face change greatly.
His face changed drastically, and he pinched a white jade slip, and a thick look of horror flashed in his eyes.
The jade slip records a secret technique called the "Blood Demon Knife", and those who practice this secret art can sacrifice a "Blood Demon Knife" similar to the "Qianyang Heavenly Sword" to nourish in the body.
However, in order to refine the "Blood Demon Sword", the monk first needs to have a strong enough "Blood Demon Qi".
What is "bloody breath"?
The so-called "bloody qi" is actually the resentful qi that immortal cultivators are contaminated with after killing humans or demon beasts.
Generally, the "bloody aura" on the monk's body is very weak, and as long as they don't kill for a period of time, these "bloody aura" will dissipate.
Only those immortal cultivators who kill people and hunt demons all year round will have a relatively strong "bloody aura" on their bodies, and this kind of person generally has a very unique temperament and is easy to identify.
And according to the secret art record on the jade slip in Zhou Yang's hand, if a monk wants to condense the "Blood Demon Sword" into shape, he must kill 100,000 mortals or hundreds of Qi cultivation stage immortal cultivators in a row within a year!
Killing people to practice, this is a typical feature of the Demon Dao Exercises!
The sand bandit who died under Zhou Yang must not have practiced the "Blood Demon Knife", otherwise he would not have died so easily.
But why did this "Blood Demon Knife" secret technique appear on him?
When Zhou Yang thought of this, he thought about it and was extremely frightened.
He couldn't help but think of the Blood Demon Secret Technique he had obtained from a Qi Cultivation Stage Sand Bandit in the first place, was this really just a coincidence?
