Three days later, Zhou Xiang and his entourage boarded the Hades Emperor flying boat. Chang Gongzi refused the fat man's invitation, insisted on staying to participate in the formation, and waited to take the family flying boat to participate in the big competition. The words of the ghost king touched him a lot, how could the current dispute between the Chang family and the concubine not be a challenge for him? Chang Gongzi decided to face it bravely instead of cowardly escaping.

After stepping on the flying boat, Zhou Xiang realized that the space above was much larger than it looked below, and there were many rooms here, such as practice rooms, meditation rooms, Dan rooms, living rooms, etc. Every room on the flying boat has been reinforced with prohibitions and formations, and the layout inside is also very luxurious, the only bad thing is that the yin qi is too heavy, it is estimated that it has been arranged with special materials to facilitate the cultivation of the ghost clan, this feeling makes the Zhou Xiang brothers and sisters extremely uncomfortable, but fortunately, Lin Lu modified the formation and prohibition for them in time, and then took out the large piece of Juyang Stone sent by the ghost king to hold, and the two of them felt much better.

Zhou Xiang was very curious about the cross-border gate of the Huangquan realm, so he stood on the bow of the boat with Lan Ling and Lin Lu to watch.

A few miles away, you can see that there is an unusually tall blue area standing under the sky, as if it is a mysterious passage to an inexplicable space, the entire cross-border gate is an arched structure, surrounded by layers of formations and prohibitions, only a gap is opened in the lower area for small flying boats and caravans to enter and exit, both sides of the gap are heavily guarded, and many strange magic weapons are placed.

Stained with the light of the ghost emperor's car, when Zhou Xiang and the others flew here, all caravans and flying boats were forbidden to enter and exit, the prohibitions and formations on both sides of the passage were closed layer by layer, the entire cross-border gate was completely opened, and many ghost pawns and ghost generals guarding the boundary gate were also lined up on both sides for martial law. Under the watchful eye, the flying boat adjusted its direction and slowly flew towards the boundary gate, and after a trance, Zhou Xiang and the others entered another world: the Ghost Central District.

Because it was the car of the Netherworld Ghost Emperor and the fat man, the crown prince, was coming, there were also officials and troops to greet him in the Ghost Yang District. Fortunately, there was no need for Zhou Xiang and them to show up, so he, Lan Ling, and Lin Lu stood on the side of the boat and enjoyed the scenery, the Guiyang District was much more prosperous than the Netherworld District, and there was also a big city towering not far in front of the cross-border gate, which was much grander and taller than the Gushou City, exuding a kind of majesty from above.

After the welcoming ceremony, the flying boat continued to move forward, Zhou Xiang and the others were very excited at first after seeing the crisscrossing roads, rivers and ants on the ground, but as the flying boat moved forward at a constant speed, they gradually felt a little bored, so they returned to their respective rooms to cultivate.

Zhou Xiang absorbed the spiritual power from the outside world over and over again according to the foundation building chapter of the Three Qing Gong Method, but the result made him feel a deep sense of powerlessness, for no other reason, the improvement was too slow! After building the foundation, the growth of a day of meditation and cultivation can be described as a turtle speed, according to this progress, Zhou Xiang estimated that he would still be in the early stage of foundation building after a few decades. In desperation, he took out the two Dan bottles in the storage ring, put them aside, and took out Li Xuankong's jade slip to look at it for a while, and then selected a porcelain bottle with "Yangji Pill" written on it.

According to what Li Xuankong Yujian wrote, this pill was specially practiced for monks in the early stage of foundation building, and taking it could not only consolidate cultivation, but also increase mana and shorten the cultivation time. The other bottle is the "Condensing Spirit Pill", which is a commonly used pill in the cultivation world that can increase the cultivation of the foundation, but it is more suitable for taking in the middle stage of the foundation building. Zhou Xiang thought for a long time and put away the Ning Ling Pill, took out one of the Yangji pills and took it, and after the medicinal power attacked, he ran the exercises to urge the spiritual power and entered the cultivation state.

Three days later, Zhou Xiang slowly opened his eyes, with a look of surprise on his face, and after some inspection, he found that his cultivation had really improved a lot, compared with his previous boring meditation and cultivation, one pill of Yangji Pill was worth three years of hard work. At this rate, the time for Zhou Xiang to advance to the middle stage of foundation building can be shortened by at least half. Zhou Xiang was so excited by this result that after a day of rest, he swallowed the second Yangji Pill.

After three days, the medicinal power was absorbed, and Zhou Xiang inspected his cultivation but found that the effect was not as good as the first time. After swallowing the third pill and completely absorbing it, the effect was even worse. It seems that after taking the same pill many times, the body will develop resistance, and the effect will gradually decrease. At this time, the monk needed to change to another elixir in order to maintain the rapid growth of cultivation. However, the result of not stopping taking the medicine is that there will be more and more erysipelas in the body, which will affect the cultivator's own foundation over time, and will even plant the seeds of future troubles. Therefore, the righteous path of cultivation still has to rely on oneself to meditate slowly. Pills can only be used as an adjunct.

Knowing this, Zhou Xiang stopped continuing to take drugs, calmed down his somewhat impetuous heart, and began his daily meditation, and every day he would also find time to exercise his divine sense, and cultivate the Taixu Palm and the Mixed Yuan Sword.

Time passed slowly.

Four months later, Zhou Xiang's Hades Emperor finally flew to the vicinity of the imperial capital of Guiyang District.

Zhou Xiang, who received the news that he was about to arrive at his destination, couldn't continue to calm down, so he walked out of the room, stood on the deck and looked around, only to see thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in full view, reckless blue vegetation covering distant mountains and plains, big rivers, and lakes scattered among them. Due to the proximity to the imperial capital, the flying boats in the sky shuttle back and forth, dizzying, the more forward, the more the number of flying boats, and the forms are also varied, but they are all in order and go their own way. Compared with the situation of Gushou City, the prosperity of the imperial capital is definitely beyond imagination.

This situation also made Lan Ling, Chen Yue'e and other women continue to be coquettish, and the mentality of children is fully revealed.

Compared with Zhou Xiang and them, the fat man who had been to the imperial capital several times a long time ago was not surprised. However, the closer they get to the imperial capital, the mentality of everyone is not the same, Zhou Xiang thinks that he is getting closer and closer to the human world; Lin Lu is excited and expectant, as a new generation of ghost-eyed immortal masters, he is about to perform his own legend in the forbidden formation competition, and the expectation in his heart is indescribable; the fat man thinks that he still can't practice the waste wood physique when he came back then, so he can only hide in the figure of his father and feel sorry for himself, and now he is revisiting the old place, but he is already the rightful prince of the Netherworld, and the cultivation of the ghost king is enough to laugh at the second generation of many young Tonggeng Emperors, not to mention that there is Yue'e to accompany him, and his heart is more proud and proud。

The imperial capital is thousands of miles in circumference, and it is the largest city in the Guiyang District and even the Huangquan Realm. The nine districts of Huangquan and the eight districts except the Guiyang District all have special offices in the imperial capital. Stained with the fat man's light, the ghost emperor sent a special official to greet the Hades Emperor and his party, Zhou Xiang and they also lived in the palace in the imperial capital in the netherworld, and after settling down, the fat man took Chen Yue'e into the Great Inner Hajj to see the ghost emperor.

Early the next morning, the fat man had not yet returned, it was estimated that he had been left in the imperial city by the Ghost Emperor, Zhou Xiang was preparing to retreat and cultivate, but saw Lan Ling and Lin Lu coming together. The second daughter was dressed up today, and when Lan Ling saw her brother, she ran over and grabbed Zhou Xiang's arm and said, "Third brother, accompany me and Sister Lin to go shopping today, after all, it's not easy to come to the imperial capital." And meditating every day during this time, it's really annoying. ”

"Yes, I also came to the imperial capital once, I was so poor at that time, and now there are some ghost stones, so I want to satisfy my desire to shop, and Brother Zhou was wronged to be a flower messenger. Lin Lu said with a smile.

"Okay!" Zhou Xiang nodded, "I also want to see the prosperity of the imperial capital, let's go!"

"Yay!" the second daughter shouted happily, and then took Zhou Xiang's arm left and right and walked out. When they were about to go out, a small official rushed up to Zhou Xiang and gave each of them a pitch-black wooden sign, saying that it was a talisman for entering and exiting the Netherworld Difference Palace.

Walking out of the gate, it is an extremely prosperous street in the imperial capital, the street is extremely wide, there are many shops on both sides, and the street is ghostly and lively. Lan Ling's two daughters especially like to visit some jewelry and clothing stores, because the ghost stones are very abundant, the two girls linger for a long time when they see what they like. Zhou Xiang is not interested in these, and now there is no fat man to accompany him, so he has to insist on it, and at the same time sigh a little, although the storage bag is something that monks can use, but it is the most practical for women and female ghosts, because as long as they like it, they buy it and stuff it into the storage bag, instead of holding it in their hands and getting in the way, I really don't know how they manage the internal space of the storage bag, and it gives me a headache when I think about it.

Walking around until noon, although the two of them didn't feel hungry, they still found a restaurant to eat, Lin Lu, as an authentic ghost clan, ordered a table of food to eat, and the Zhou family brothers and sisters could only stare dryly on the side, but fortunately, Zhou Xiang remembered that there was still a lot of human food left by Li Xuankong in the storage ring, so he took it out to satisfy his hunger, after all, now that they have built a foundation, there will be no good thing that they will be promoted after eating a meal like the first time.

The two women chatted about their morning shopping experience, how the jewelry was, how the owner of the store slammed the door, and so on.

was chatting, but heard a few ghost clans in the box next door, Zhou Xiang's table was all monks, although the sound insulation ban of the box was good, but in their eyes it was nothing. I only heard one of them say: "Xiao Qian, when it comes to this grand event in the imperial capital, it is nothing more than the forbidden formation competition in three months, when the nine forbidden formation families of the Huangquan realm will gather in the imperial capital to fight the dragon and tiger, we can not only feast our eyes, but also make some windfalls." I'm looking forward to it as a brother. ”
