Chapter 17 - Unaccompanied
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, Zhang Fan practiced in the door for another month.
During this time, he not only further familiarized himself with the techniques of water escape, fire resistance, and wind resistance, but also promoted his cultivation to the early stage of the fourth layer of qi training, and his cultivation speed was not inferior to that of a cultivation genius in the sect.
In addition, he also used spirit stones to buy talismans, magic robes, detailed explanations of small spells, and enough elixirs, of course, including Bigu Dan, Detoxification Pill, Hemostasis Pill, Gathering Spirit Pill and Peiyuan Dan. A few days ago, the old Dao of the Flame gave him another piece of armor and a high-grade magic weapon flying sword.
He had signed up for a demon hunt a few days ago, and he had purchased talismans, pills, and basic spells to prevent him from being attacked when his true qi was exhausted.
Although the Dao Conference that day came to an end, and the disciples were even more silent about that matter, Zhang Fan also knew that he had many enemies in the sect, and if he didn't prepare some more things, he would definitely be plotted by those thieves.
He can't help it, but unfortunately he can't find a better way out for the time being.
Before you know it, the next day has arrived. Zhang Fan put on a green robe early in the morning and gathered on the stage.
As soon as Zhang Fan arrived, he saw several blue-robed elite disciples shouting and forming a team. Among them, Murong Qianxun and Leng Yue are also among them. When most of the disciples saw Zhang Fan coming, they all avoided it, and they seemed to regard Zhang Fan as a plague god, as if they were afraid that he would infect them.
Only Leng Yue looked over first, and greeted lightly: "Zhang Fan, have you also signed up for the demon hunt?" Zhang Fan nodded and did not speak.
Murong Qianxun also seemed to be interested, and sneered: "Senior Brother Zhang Fan's cultivation speed is very fast! In just half a year, he has cultivated to the early stage of the fourth layer of qi refining, Senior Brother is really admired!"
Zhang Fan said lightly: "Zhang is not like some people. From beginning to end, he was a pig, taking drugs every day. I wonder if he wants to fatten himself up and wait for the pork harvest. â
Murong Qianxun sneered: "Zhang Fan." You're just talking about it. At that time, senior brother, I advised you to leave that ghost place, but you didn't believe it, and now that bad luck is coming, the whole sect, how many friends do you have? But now, you have broken the rules of the door, no matter how much you beg me. I won't find a way out for you anymore. You and I have long since broken off our love!"
Zhang Fan said lightly: "Master doesn't need a dog like you in the first place, why do you bark here? Don't you know that there are so many people around watching?"
Murong Qianxun said coldly: "Zhang Fan, you are still so calm and calm. I Murong Qianxun admires you. It's a pity that I don't know if you can come back this time when you enter the abyss. â
Zhang Fan smiled and said, "Murong Qianxun, you are really arrogant! Haven't you heard that disciples are not allowed to kill each other in the sect?" Murong Qianxun said coldly: "Hmph, do you think everyone in this world is as stupid as you?"
Zhang Fan smiled and said, "Murong Qianxun, do you mean that you dare to disobey the Ancestor's dictation?" Murong Qianxun shouted: "Zhang Fan." Don't spew blood. Ben Gongzi is just kind enough to remind you to pay attention to spirit beasts. I didn't expect you to talk nonsense. â
Zhang Fan shouted: "Really, do you also want to murder the master?" Murong Qianxun snorted coldly: "This son follows the words of the ancestor, where can he hurt the towering senior brother like you, and he is still boasting proudly here!"
"That's enough!" Leng Yue shouted, disgusted by the cynicism of the two. Murong Qianxun flattered: "What Senior Sister said is that Qianxun must obey Senior Sister's arrangement and complete the task of stopping the outbreak of the beast tide according to the instructions of the master in charge." Leng Yue snorted coldly and ignored Murong Qianxun.
Zhang Fan was indifferent, ignoring everyone's strange gazes. Cold Moon saw this. said lightly: "Zhang Fan, you are really true." Isn't the lesson from last time enough?" Zhang Fan said lightly: "Don't worry about my affairs!"
Leng Yue shouted: "Zhang Fan, don't be arrogant because you think that your combat power is good. I sue you, even if I have the cultivation of the seventh layer of Qi cultivation, I dare not say that I can come back from the abyss safely. We're just exploring the way this time to see what the beast tide is like. If the beast tide comes too violently, the Elders of the Foundation will be dispatched to clean up the spirit beasts. â
Zhang Fan said lightly: "You tell me this, what's the matter with me?" Leng Yue said angrily: "Zhang Fan, don't think that you are still the mortal person who once bravely entered the third level. Twenty-four of us brothers and sisters started together, why weren't you favored by the elders? Why were you the only one who broke the rules of the game? Why are you the only ones cultivating so slowly? Have you ever thought about the reason?"
Zhang Fan said impatiently: "Leng Yue, the master is not here to listen to you say this. Don't talk nonsense, if you want to go, you can leave, if you want to stay, you can stay!" Leng Yue shouted: "Zhang Fan, you are really angry! Don't you know that among our hundreds of senior brothers and sisters, you are the only one who has not formed a team. If you hunt spirit beasts like this, you don't want to come back alive!"
Zhang Fan said coldly: "Shut up!" Leng Yue said angrily: "Okay! I hope you don't regret it!" she said and turned away. Seeing this, everyone around avoided it, and it seemed that Zhang Fan was even more taboo.
Leng Yue took out a small boat from the storage bag, her mind moved, and she instantly enlarged, and then said to everyone: "Senior brothers and sisters, let's get on the boat!" Everyone nodded, and Zhang Fan also followed everyone on the boat.
Then the boat went eastward.
Zhang Fan sat in the corner of the boat, silently closing his eyes to recuperate, but thinking about the situation in Tianyuan in his heart. According to what he learned on the first floor of the Hidden Scripture Pavilion a few days ago, Tianyuan was actually a place where spiritual veins converged in Beiming. When the Heavenly Abyss hurricane blows, the aura within a radius of a hundred miles around it is even richer than the island where the elders live, but it is a pity that those aura impurities are too many, and they are violent, and the monks cannot directly absorb them, which is only suitable for the survival of spirit beasts with rough skin and thick flesh. In addition, due to the convergence of spiritual energy in the heavenly abyss, there are not only many spirit beasts, but also cherished elixirs for hundreds of years. They are all necessary medicinal materials for refining the second-grade elixir in the Beiming Sect.
The one or two hundred year elixir used to refine the first-grade elixir is good to say, it can be specially cultivated in the sect, and the three- or four-hundred-year-old elixir used to refine the second-grade elixir is not something that can be produced in ordinary places. Therefore, the qi cultivation disciples in the sect, especially the inner disciples and elite disciples, all have the sect's spirit pill to assist in cultivation in the early stage, and the cultivation speed is very fast, but once they reach the ninth level of qi training, most disciples will not have the spirit pill to assist in cultivation. Even if they are the elders and disciples in the sect, they can only occasionally get a few elixirs to cultivate, and the rest of the time, everyone either goes out to practice or retreats to cultivate.
Therefore, every time the Beiming Sect accepts disciples, it must be carefully selected and try to accept some disciples with good qualifications to cultivate, and those with poor qualifications often do not have the opportunity to enter the sect to cultivate. After all, the cultivation resources are limited, and even if the Beiming Sect is known as the Ten Thousand Year Great Sect, it would rather hide the resources than spend effort cultivating those disciples with inferior spiritual roots.
The people in power in the sect do this, not all of them are black-hearted, but it is a way of survival for the sect.
Zhang Fan knew that there were not only countless first-grade spirit beasts in the heavenly abyss, but also second-grade spirit beasts whose strength was comparable to that of the foundation building period. He had already made preparations, and if his strength was not good, he would temporarily hide in the spirit jade space. As long as he is cautious, there is no danger of death for the time being.
Zhang Fan thought about his future plans, and the boat continued to move forward. The disciples on the ship all had deep qi, and none of them were below the third level of qi cultivation at all. They talked silently in low voices, as if chatting.
But no matter what they do, they have only one purpose in mind, and that is to experience.
After a while, Zhang Fan heard a "buzzing" cry from a distance. It was not the roar of a spirit beast, but the crash of the Abyss Waterfall.
After a moment, Leng Yue said loudly: "Senior brothers and sisters, we have reached the Heavenly Abyss. Then I landed the flying boat on Tianyuan Island, and everyone went to explore the experience. Everyone said: "Got it, Senior Sister Leng Yue." â
Immediately, the boat fell and stopped on a desolate island tens of zhang square. Everyone got out of the boat, looked eastward at the abyss with mist, hazy, and roaring sounds for thousands of miles, smelled the faint smell of blood in the air, and showed a look of eagerness on their faces.
Leng Yue glanced at everyone and ordered: "Senior brothers and sisters, we are a group of three hundred and sixty-one people, and our cultivation is all between the peak of the third layer of Qi cultivation and the peak of the eighth layer of Qi training, but in the third layer of Tianyuan, from top to bottom, there are first-grade and second-grade spirit beasts living in turn, and there may be zĂ i third-grade spirit beasts. Compared with spirit beasts, everyone's strength is insufficient. Therefore, you need more than a dozen or dozens of people to form a pair to hunt spirit beasts together, if you encounter high-level spirit beasts, you must use the combined attack formation chosen by their respective team leaders to fight the enemy, and at the same time send a message to me in time, so that the disciples can not have losses. The purpose of our visit to Tianyuan this time is mainly to experience and explore the beast tide, and hunting spirit beasts and searching for elixirs are only auxiliary tasks. Everyone must do what they can, otherwise...... I think everybody understands people, you know the consequences. â
Everyone said: "Thank you, senior sister, we went." Saying that, everyone left one after another against the wind or by the talisman.
Murong Qianxun saw that Zhang Fan was still still, and sneered: "Zhang Fan, did you suddenly find that your cultivation is very weak and want to join our group?" Zhang Fan said coldly: "Get out!"
Murong Qianxun smiled: "This son is just teasing you." This is the transmission talisman and qi pill distributed by the sect to male disciples, everyone has taken it, and yours has not been taken yet. Here you go!" he tossed a jade talisman and a jade bottle over as he spoke.
Zhang Fan glanced at Murong Qianxun lightly, and seeing that he was not unusual, he took the jade talisman and jade bottle in his hand.
Seeing this, Leng Yue said lightly: "Murong Qianxun is right, the purpose of the sect's dispatch of the messenger is to investigate the situation of the Heavenly Abyss Spirit Beast and prevent the outbreak of the beast tide. Zhang Fan nodded lightly.
Seeing this, Murong Qianxun said with a smile: "Zhang Fan, you can stay here alone and wait for us to come back, Xia Tianyuan can only be sent to death." With that, he rode away with the wind. Zhang Fan glanced at him with disdain, and didn't have time to deal with him.
Seeing this, Leng Yue persuaded: "Zhang Fan, or you will join me." You saved my life last time, and this time I'll protect you. Zhang Fan shook his head and said lightly: "No need, you hunt your spirit beast yourself, I don't need you to take care of my affairs!"
Leng Yue snorted coldly: "I don't know the hearts of good people, do you think that only spirit beasts in the heavenly abyss can eat people?" Unfortunately, Zhang Fan has already gone away. Seeing this, she had no choice but to go down to the abyss. (To be continued......)
