Chapter 573: Abduction of the Colorful Peacock
Ye Yunshan was suddenly accepted as a personal disciple by her sister Xiao Ying, and even she herself was extremely shocked by this incident.
She showed herself in front of Xiao Ying, and all she expected was a Tsukidan, but she had never expected such a good thing.
Of course, the shock was followed by ecstasy.
The gap between a registered disciple and a personal disciple is known even to a novice who is new to the knowledge of cultivating immortals.
Becoming a disciple of Xiao Ying, a newly baked Jindan period monk, not only means that she Ye Yunshan will definitely succeed in building the foundation, but also has great hope for opening up the Purple Mansion in the future, and the road has been smooth sailing since then, and those registered disciples on Chongxuan Mountain have completely become two classes.
Wang Yanzhang was also very pleased, Ye Yunshan was his sister-in-law and Taoist companion, if she was doing well, his eldest brother and Taoist companion would definitely not be bad.
And with a Jindan period monk like Xiao Ying to take care of, he no longer has to worry about his sister and Taoist companion being hurt in the future.
In the past, he was often worried that if the people of the "Six Dao Alliance" came over, once Zhou Yang, the master, could not withstand the attack, he would leave them and flee back to the Yuqing Dao Sect.
But now, he can rest easy.
Because even if he had to retreat, Ye Yunshan, who was Xiao Ying's personal disciple, would definitely be taken away together, and he, as Ye Yunshan's Taoist companion, should not be abandoned at will.
Although in this way, he will inevitably have to bear the name of eating soft rice, but compared with the huge benefits obtained, this is a small problem.
Compared with Wang Yanzhang and Ye Yunshan, who were happy, the mood of the other people on Chongxuan Mountain was very complicated.
There is no doubt that in addition to the five Zhou family monks brought by Zhou Yang, the rest of the registered disciples came to Chong Xuanshan to apprentice, except for wanting to obtain the Zhuji Dan Zhuji from Zhou Yang, they did not want to express themselves through this way, in order to hope that one day they would be valued by Zhou Yang, the master, and truly enter the door wall to become the official disciples of the Jindan period monks.
Now more than ten years have passed, when they still can't see a little hope, Ye Yunshan suddenly rose to prominence, took the route of Shiniang and became a disciple of Shiniang who had just succeeded in marrying Dan, and achieved what they dreamed of in one fell swoop.
How could this result not make them envious and jealous.
If Ye Yunshan was a spiritual cultivator, or a high-grade spiritual root qualification, they might not be jealous, but Ye Yunshan's spiritual root qualification was similar to that of ninety percent of them.
Everyone is a middle-grade spiritual root qualification, and they are all starting at the same time, why are they still registered disciples, and they can't even see hope for building a foundation, but Ye Yunshan has already become a personal disciple of Shi Niang, and the future of the Purple Mansion can be expected, why?
People who have this kind of thinking are not even those named disciples who started with Ye Yunshan, but also the five Zhou family juniors who came to the Liuyun Continent Immortal Cultivation Realm with Zhou Yang.
As members of the Zhou family, they have the blood of the same ancestor as Zhou Yang, the ancestor of the Zhou family, and they started to serve Zhou Yang and his wife earlier than Ye Yunshan and others, so it stands to reason that even if they really want to accept apprentices, they should be given priority.
Why? Why is Ye Yunshan, an outsider, more valued by the ancestors and grandmothers of the Zhou family than them?
These thoughts swirled in the minds of the registered disciples, making it impossible for them to even practice with peace of mind.
For a while, the registered disciples on the entire Chongxuan Mountain were fluctuating, and they were not in the mood to do things and practice.
Of course, these people are dissatisfied and dissatisfied, and jealous is jealous, but no one is stupid enough to question why Zhou Yang and Xiao Ying are like this, and no one is stupid enough to openly question this decision, and they don't even dare to say it directly.
Everyone knows the truth that trouble comes from the mouth.
The divine consciousness of the Jindan period monks was enough to easily cover the entire Chongxuan Mountain, and no one dared to guarantee that the words in their mouths would not happen to be heard by the two Jindan stage monks.
Zhou Yang and Xiao Ying naturally knew the thoughts of these named disciples.
This is human nature, but if they change places, I am afraid that it will not be exempt from vulgarity.
Therefore, as long as no one offends themselves by making their own desperate statements, they will not reprimand and punish these people for this.
Time is the best regulator, and Zhou Yang believes that as time goes by, as Ye Yunshan's cultivation gradually widens the gap with these people, these people's minds will naturally change.
Therefore, after the apprenticeship ceremony, Ye Yunshan moved into the mountaintop area to practice, and no longer worked with those named disciples to take care of chores.
Zhou Yang didn't care about how Xiao Ying taught his disciples, after a few days of rest, he delved into the "Blood Soul Sacrifice Technique" obtained from Qingyang Zhenren, and prepared to use this secret technique to refine the beast face pattern dragon tripod.
This "Blood Soul Sacrifice Technique" is not complicated, but the price of using it is a bit large.
If you use this technique to refine the magic weapon, you must first use some precious materials to arrange a altar magic circle, and then place the magic weapon on the altar and practice it with your own essence and blood every day for 7749 days before you can succeed.
Zhou Yang calculated, if he didn't take any elixir to replenish his essence and blood, he used this secret technique to refine that beast-faced dragon tripod, I am afraid that half of his life would be removed, no wonder Qingyang Zhenren did not recommend him to do this at that time.
But if you take some panacea to restore and replenish your essence and blood, you may only need to recuperate for ten or eight years afterwards.
In view of this, he hesitated for a moment, but decided to use this secret technique.
So next, Zhou Yang personally went to several immortal cities around Chongxuan Mountain and purchased all the materials for arranging the altar array.
Then he announced a retreat, and secretly sacrificed the beast-faced dragon tripod in the cave.
After 7749 days in this way, he finally succeeded in refining the beast-faced dragon tripod, and thus learned the true name and function of this magic weapon.
It turned out that the real name of this beast face pattern dragon tripod was "Zhentian Canglong Ding", and it was indeed a sixth-order mid-grade magic weapon as Lu Xuanji said at the beginning.
At the same time, Qingyang Zhenren was not wrong, if Zhou Yang wanted to practice the "Canglong Refining Technique" to the fourth layer, he needed to pour the Jiaolong spiritual blood into the Dingzhong, urge the "Canglong Flame" attached to the Baoding to be refined, and then jump into the Dingzhong to meditate and practice.
Of course, the auxiliary cultivation of the "Canglong Refining Body Technique" is only an incidental function of the "Zhentian Canglong Ding", and its real role is to suppress the void and form a forbidden void realm.
If Zhou Yang had the cultivation of the Yuan Infant Stage and could exert the full power of the "Zhentian Canglong Ding", the scope of this forbidden sky realm would be hundreds of miles.
At that time, within a hundred miles, the existence of cultivation below the late Yuan Infant will lose the power of flight, and only the owner of the "Zhentian Canglong Ding" can be an exception.
It's a terrifying ability!
It is foreseeable that the monk who sacrifices this "Zhentian Canglong Ding" must be a strong horizontal body cultivator who has cultivated the "Canglong Refining Body Technique" to an extremely high level.
In the face of such a powerful physical cultivator, if he suddenly lost the power to fly, even a Yuan Infant Cultivator would easily be beaten by the other party!
This is a magic weapon specially tailored for the top body cultivation.
The physical cultivation with this magic weapon in hand, and the physical cultivation without this magic weapon, combat effectiveness are completely two different concepts.
"What a baby, what a baby!"
"It's not in vain that I spent so much money refining this thing. ”
"With this treasure in hand, the world will be so big in the future, where can you go!"
In the secret room of the cave, Zhou Yang, who had sunken eyes, was thin and pale as a snowflake, looked at Da Ding in front of him, and laughed with excitement and joy in his eyes.
At this time, his breath was extremely sluggish, which was caused by the loss of essence blood caused by refining the "Zhentian Canglong Ding" with essence blood for several days.
Even with the help of the power of the elixir, his current loss of essence and blood has been less than sixty percent of that of his heyday, which is not a small loss.
As a result, for the next five years, no one on Chongxuan Mountain, including Xiao Ying, a Taoist monk, saw Zhou Yang once.
It wasn't until news came seven years later that Zhou Yang walked out of the door of the retreat room.
The news was handed over by Qingyang's real person, and the content was that Zhou Yang had asked him to release the matter of looking for the fifth-order tree demon, and there was already news.
"Savage Jungle, looks like we're going to go out again!"
In the cave mansion, Zhou Yang frowned slightly after reading the letter sent by Qingyang's real person, and soon returned to normal.
The Savage Jungle is indeed a bit far away, but if there is a fifth-order dryad, only there is the greatest chance.
So the news should be true.
As for the long way, there is no way, the refining of the natal magic weapon is very important, and it is very beneficial to be able to refine it a year in advance.
So he quickly called the Taoist companion Xiao Ying to the cave mansion and talked about it.
"There is news from Qingyang's predecessors, someone has found a fifth-order tree demon in the wild jungle, and the husband needs to go there to get the [Tree Demon Heart] for you, and then during the time when the husband goes out, Ying'er has to pay attention to vigilance like last time, don't let the disciples out of the mountain during this time, so as not to leak the news that the husband is not on the mountain!"
Over the years, the territory of Anguo can be said to be peaceful, and the "Six Dao Alliance" seems to have acquiesced to the existence of Chong Xuanshan, without any intention of pulling out this nail, which is the confidence of Zhou Yang to dare to go out alone.
Otherwise, he would definitely take Daoist Xiao Ying to the wild jungle together.
And Xiao Ying heard that he was going out to find materials for refining the natal magic weapon for himself, and he did not dissuade or ask to go with him.
Just said "pay attention to safety" with concern as usual, then looked at him and said: "Since Fujun is going to go far away, you might as well go to Xianyang City and buy a copy of the "Qinghua Du'er True Sutra" for Yunshan, she will be able to take Zhuji Dan Zhuji immediately, and when you come back, Fujun, you should have successfully built the foundation, and then you will be able to transfer to this exercise." ”
Xiao Ying's practice of "Qinghua Crossing the Doom Sutra" was originally given to Zhou Yang by Qingyang Zhenren at the beginning, and Xuanyang Pavilion gave it to Zhou Yang for free.
But this kind of purchased exercise can only be practiced by herself, and cannot be passed on, so if Ye Yunshan wants to practice this high-level exercise, she has to buy it for her once with a spirit stone.
It's just that Zhou Yang heard Xiao Ying's words, but he rarely rejected her request, shook his head and said: "Ying'er, you don't like to fight, and practicing the Qinghua Crossing True Scripture can be said to complement each other, but your disciple's personality is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, if you practice this kind of pure auxiliary exercises, I'm afraid the effect will not be satisfactory." ”
After speaking, he paused, looked at Xiao Ying's face, and saw the thoughtful look on her face, and knew that she had listened to his words.
So he continued: "I just happen to have a copy of "Zhimu Xuangong" here for my husband, which is also a high-level exercise of wood attributes, and when she succeeds in building the foundation, you can pass on the upper half of her first and teach her to practice this exercise." ”
"Zhimu Xuangong" is a high-level exercise obtained by Zhou Yang when he confiscated a Zifu family treasure house in Cangyuan Immortal City in the extreme west, although this exercise is not as mysterious as "Qinghua Du Er Zhenjing", but it is enough to practice to the Yuan infant stage.
In fact, Zhou Yang still has something to say.
That is, Xiao Ying can practice the "Qinghua Crossing the True Sutra", that is because Zhou Yang can protect her and provide her with sufficient cultivation resources.
If Ye Yunshan also practiced this kind of auxiliary technique that did not have much combat power, and she was Xiao Ying's personal disciple, it meant that Zhou Yang was likely to raise another non-combatant high-level cultivator in the future, which he did not want to see.
Ling Zhifu is not an alchemist after all, and no matter how talented Ling Zhifu is, he is not as useful as an alchemy master for a force.
Zhou Yang could support an alchemy master regardless of resource consumption, but he was definitely not willing to support a fourth-order or fifth-order spirit planter like this.
It's just that there is no need to tell Xiao Ying these things openly, Zhou Yang doesn't want her to carry anything because of this matter.
Sure enough, Xiao Ying was quickly dispelled by what he said, nodded lightly and said: "What the husband said also makes sense, then stop this matter first, and after Yun Shan and her foundation are successfully built, the concubine will tell her the situation and let her choose." ”
"That's right, her own path still depends on her own opinions, and you don't have to care about everything as a teacher, it's easy to get bored. ”
Zhou Yang smiled lightly, and when he handed over the book "Zhimu Xuangong" to Xiao Ying, and then explained some things, he quietly left Chongxuan Mountain.
Half a year later, in a deep valley deep in the wild jungle, golden flames burst into the sky, reflecting a huge ancient tree with its branches fluttering.
This ancient tree is nearly three hundred zhang high, and the diameter of the trunk is more than ten zhang.
"Shangxian spares his life, the little demon doesn't know where to offend the immortal, and please read the immortal for the sake of the little demon's cultivation, spare the little demon's life, the little demon is willing to offer all the treasures to the immortal!"
The female face on the trunk of the tree was wide open, and her voice was screaming and begging for mercy.
Tree demons like it are most afraid of those fire-based cultivators who have mastered the true fire of the Sun, and in front of such monks, their strong vitality will sometimes become a torture tool to torture themselves.
As soon as Zhou Yang's "Qianyang True Fire" strengthened by the "Qianyang Orb" came out, it was that this tree demon's cultivation had reached the fifth-order upper grade, and he could only wait to be killed.
At this time, hearing the words of the tree demon begging for mercy, Zhou Yang was unmoved and said lightly: "If this seat is thinking that it is not easy for you to spare your life in your cultivation, then those demon beasts, barbarian beasts and barbarian alien races that have been drained by you have sucked their essence and blood, how can they not see you spare their lives?"
When the tree demon heard this, he immediately argued loudly: "But the immortal is not a demon beast and a brute beast, let alone a barbarian alien race, although the little demon lives in the wilderness, he also knows that immortal cultivators like the upper immortal will also hunt demon beasts and brute beasts, and the barbarian alien race is also an enemy, why do you want to help these enemies deal with the little demon?"
Zhou Yang suddenly laughed, and couldn't help but smile and said: "You also said that immortal cultivators will hunt demon beasts and brute beasts, so aren't you a demon yourself?
"Y-you're a bully!"
The dryad was so angry that his face was distorted, and his green eyes were full of resentment, staring at Zhou Yang in mid-air.
It was originally a man-eating tree, and its temper was not very good, if it weren't for being restrained by Zhou Yang with all its magical powers, it would definitely not talk nonsense with Zhou Yang, and would have arrested Zhou Yang to make tree fertilizer a long time ago!
"Born as a demon, this is your misfortune, if there is an afterlife, reincarnate as a human!"
After Zhou Yang whispered a few words to himself, with a wave of his hand, he took out the "Taiyin Slashing Knife" and slashed at the tree root.
The sharp silver long knife slashed at the trunk of the tree, and a stream of maroon liquid suddenly slowly overflowed along the wound, trying to repair the wounds on the trunk, but as the golden flame burned, the maroon liquid was quickly burned into a puff of red smoke.
In this way, although the dryad struggled desperately, in the end, he was helpless to be cut down by Zhou Yangsheng.
The trunk of the tree fell, and the dryad was not dead, but after the trunk was gone, the dryad could not stop Zhou Yang's attack.
Not long passed, and this demon tree, which had lived for an unknown number of years, was uprooted by Zhou Yang and thrown to the ground.
This is not the first time Zhou Yang has killed a creature like a tree demon, in the Broken Cloud Mountain Range, he also killed a fourth-order tree demon in order to seize the [Ning Yuan Fruit] tree, which was a hundred-zhang ancient pine.
A Dryad, the most precious thing on its body is naturally the [Dryad Heart].
The [Heart of the Dryad] of this fifth-order high-grade Dryad is half a zhang long and two feet wide, which is more than enough to refine two "Rejuvenation Immortal Bottles".
In addition to the [Heart of the Dryad], which contains the power of vitality, the roots and trunks of the Dryad are also excellent alchemy refining materials.
Zhou Yang had the experience of the last time, and this time he specially kept his hand, but he only burned a layer of trunks on the surface of the dryad, but most of the core inside was retained.
It's a pity that the creature is too domineering, and the place where it grows rarely has room for other elixirs to grow, let alone spirit trees.
Originally, the Tree Demon in the Broken Cloud Mountain Range was able to allow the [Ning Yuan Fruit] tree to grow next to it, because it wanted to lure other demon beasts close to him through the [Ning Yuan Fruit], so that he could devour those demon beasts and nourish himself.
The Dryad who was killed by Zhou Yang just now could grow a spirit fruit that could be devoured by demon beasts and brute beasts, so there was no need to cultivate other elixirs to use as bait.
It's just that the only few spirit fruits on the dryad's body were all actively absorbed by it in the previous battle to replenish his strength, but he didn't give Zhou Yang a chance to pick them.
At this time, Zhou Yang processed the various materials left by the dryad afterwards and put them into the storage ring, then released the "Golden-winged Thunder Eagle" from the spirit beast ring, and rode away from this place on the back of the eagle.
But he didn't go back to Liuyun Continent to cultivate immortals directly, but took a detour to the cave mansion that the ghost servant Xu Song had opened up in the depths of the wild jungle, preparing to go there to see if Jiang Fengxian had returned.
Carefully calculated, nearly a hundred years have passed since he was separated from Jiang Fengxian in the Kunxu Realm.
For such a long time, even if Jiang Fengxian returned to the Liuyun Continent Immortal Cultivation Realm from the Tiannanzhou Immortal Cultivation Realm through the Donghua Continent Immortal Cultivation Realm, it would be completely enough.
But to Zhou Yang's disappointment, when he rushed to the cave in the depths of the wild jungle, he found that the cave was empty, and there was no beautiful figure, only a tall and beautiful multicolored peacock.
"Your master doesn't know how long it will take to return, but if you feel lonely here, you can leave with me first, and when your master comes back and sees the letter I left for her, he will naturally look for you. ”
In Jiang Fengxian's cave mansion, Zhou Yang looked at the colorful peacock mount that he left in the cave mansion to watch his family, but he had the heart to abduct.
This colorful peacock has only lived in the valley cave for hundreds of years, and it is also lonely.
It is now a fourth-order high-grade demon beast, and it has been trained by Jiang Fengxian since it was a child, and its wisdom is no worse than Zhou Yang's "Golden-winged Thunder Eagle", of course, it can't stand this kind of life that is equivalent to captivity.
Zhou Yang had previously used the token left by Jiang Fengxian to come in through the formation, but he was so happy that he thought that the master had returned.
Even if it was later found that it was only Zhou Yang who came in, it was rarely lifeless, but instead danced around Zhou Yang, shouting and asking about the whereabouts of its master.
Although Zhou Yang couldn't understand the language of birds, he couldn't help but be smart about this colorful peacock, and he actually knew how to write and draw pictures on the ground to communicate with him, so he informed the other party of Jiang Fengxian's whereabouts.
At this time, he decided to take away the colorful peacock, in addition to seeing that the other party was indeed a little pitiful, he also did not have the idea of "catching birds as a hostage".
If he just left a letter here, Jiang Fengxian saw it when he came back, and he might not be willing to pull down his face to find him.
But with this colorful peacock in hand, Zhou Yang believes that Jiang Fengxian will definitely not give up this spiritual pet that has been raised since childhood.
The wisdom of the colorful peacock is really high, and after hearing Zhou Yang's words, he tilted his head and thought about it, and a pair of brown and yellow eyes kept spinning around him, as if to discern whether he was worth believing or not.
Seeing this, Zhou Yang couldn't help shaking the token in and out of the cave mansion handed over to him by Jiang Fengxian in his hand and said: "You don't have to worry about me lying to you, my relationship with your master is much closer than you think, otherwise she wouldn't give me this token in and out of the cave, last time she married Dan or I gave her the Dharma protector!"
When the colorful peacock heard what he said, it seemed to understand something, and suddenly drew two birds on the ground with his claws, two birds flying together, and then stared at Zhou Yang with wide eyes.
"That's right, your master and I are now in a spouse relationship, if you follow me, I will definitely not treat you badly!"
Zhou Yang smiled brightly and smiled happily.
Sure enough, after hearing his words, the colorful peacock, who was still hesitating, finally nodded, agreed to his proposal, and took the initiative to bow down and signal him to ride on him.
As a mount, doing so is how it demonstrates trust.
It is absolutely impossible for someone who does not gain its trust and approval to invite it to ride on it.
