Chapter 178: Retreat to the Mountains (Part I)
According to the guy, this gourd is called Tangram Gourd. There are seven layers inside the gourd, each of which can hold a different type of spiritual liquid. Although it is only an inch high, it can hold a full 70,000 catties of spiritual liquid, and it can keep the spiritual liquid in it from rotting for a hundred years.
After asking the price, this gourd costs 98,000 spirit stones. It's not cheap, though. But with its capacity of 70,000 catties, it is worth the money.
Xiao Ziyang didn't say a word and bought this gourd.
After buying the gourd, Xiao Ziyang did not leave, he carefully studied the characteristics of each magic weapon in this store, and even secretly took out a piece of jade slip and recorded it, planning to go back and think about it, if one day, how to deal with these magic weapons. It's war, it's flight, sometimes life and death are in a thought.
Xiao Ziyang originally planned to buy a protective inner armor, but soon gave up. 180,000 lower grade spirit stones, even if you don't buy a tangram gourd, you can't afford to buy any defensive magic weapon in this store. Not to mention the more precious protective inner armor.
After leaving Lingxiao Pavilion, Xiao Ziyang couldn't help but sigh in his heart, ordinary casual cultivators, who fought for their lives, even did not hesitate to do evil, seek money and kill their lives, and the high-grade magic weapons they also wanted to get were set off like broken copper and iron in Xiaobai Yujing. The more than 100,000 spirit stones that the scattered cultivators have accumulated in their lives seem as cheap as copper coins in this little white jade capital.
Xiao Ziyang had never felt that his path of cultivation was so difficult as he did today. But he didn't flinch in the shredder. Touching the storage bag in his arms through his clothes, a trace of divine thought surrounded the secret book of "Purple Jade Smoke" lying quietly in the storage bag, and his heart was suddenly full of confidence.
Xiao Ziyang walked along. The streets were less crowded and had regained his original appearance by the time he stepped out of an uninhabited alley.
He walked into an inn at random, asked for an upper room, changed his clothes, and lay quietly on the bed, thinking carefully about his future plans.
A year ago, after he cultivated the second body training method in "Purple Jade Smoke", he was tempted by Zhuji Dan and caused demons in his heart. Fortunately, the "Pure Heart Refining Spell" pulled him out of the brink of enchantment. But this time the demon still had a certain impact on his state of mind. Let him, who had always planned and then act, immediately plunged into cultivation regardless of everything, neither summing up the previous gains and losses, nor thinking carefully about his future plans.
It wasn't until today that the hundreds of splendid magic artifacts in the Lingxiao Pavilion deeply shocked his soul and made him realize his insignificance again.
He knew that he was anxious. It has been twelve years since he got "Purple Jade Smoke", but he is still lingering in the Qi training period. Cultivating immortals is actually a race against time, if you can't live to the end, stepping into the next realm, it will be a dead death.
He is close to the age of standing, but he is still wandering in the Qi cultivation period, which is too slow for Xiao Ziyang, who is interested in climbing to the peak of cultivation. So he was in a hurry. This is also the reason why he will hesitate to give up the "Purple Jade Smoke" law decision after getting the Tsukidan, and it is also the reason why he will be taken advantage of by the demons.
But just today, he saw the hundreds of brilliant magic weapons in the Lingxiao Pavilion. He suddenly realized that this cultivation realm was no different from the secular realm. There are many monks with good fathers, good teachers, and good backgrounds. The magic weapons in the Lingxiao Pavilion are actually prepared for these people. If he gave up this slow cultivation but very powerful "Purple Jade Smoke", even if he could successfully build the foundation and lose the magical and powerful spells in "Purple Jade Smoke", how could he gain a foothold in the cultivation realm?
What he saw today was only the first floor of Lingxiao Pavilion facing the Qi cultivators, and if this was the case, what kind of scene was it facing the second floor of the foundation building monks?
If he builds his foundation with the Five Elements Exercises, he loses the powerful spell in "Purple Jade Smoke". Without any background, I'm afraid he won't want to get his hands on those superb magic weapons in this life. At that time, I'm afraid that a Qi cultivator with a superb magic weapon in his hand will be able to make him hold his head and run away.
At that time, he will be drowned in countless ordinary monks, and what kind of ascension to the immortal realm is just a joke. Perhaps one day he will die under a powerful magic weapon, and his storage bag will become the spoils of war for some famous disciple.
Xiao Ziyang turned over his hand and took out "Purple Jade Smoke" from the storage bag, gently stroked its non-paper and non-cloth, non-silk and non-leather soft with tough, smooth and finely textured cover, and said softly to himself: "You are the foundation of my cultivation of the immortal realm, the source of my confidence, it's ridiculous that I once wanted to give you up!"
That night, Xiao Ziyang had insomnia. Insomnia is a joke for a monk, but he does have insomnia.
Early the next morning, Xiao Ziyang left the inn. At this time, if someone who is very familiar with him sees him, he will definitely think that he has changed, but he must not say that he has changed.
Only Xiao Ziyang knows that he has been deeply hidden in his heart, and the anxiety, restlessness, and panic that he has not even noticed have left him, and all that is left is calmness and firmness after recognizing his future path.
Xiao Ziyang spent the only remaining more than 80,000 spirit stones on his body like flowing water. He didn't buy anything for himself, the things he needed, just 80,000 spirit stones, like a drop in the bucket.
He used the remaining spirit stones to buy a large number of elixirs for the An sisters and the four of them in the shop belonging to the Da Luo faction. He also bought a lot of classics for several people that were useful for their cultivation. He also spent tens of thousands of spirit stones to buy three Zhuyan Pills for the An sisters.
Xiao Ziyang naturally knows that eternal youth is every woman's ultimate dream.
What makes Xiao Ziyang very strange is that the "Purple Jade Smoke" exercise seems to have a rejuvenating effect, and his appearance has always remained in his early twenties, and has not changed in the past ten years.
Early the next morning, Xiao Ziyang mixed in with the monks who left the city and left Xiaobai Yujing. After flying out for nearly a hundred miles, he activated the Invisible Escape Method, and instantly disappeared from the sight of the nearby monks.
Finding a deserted mountain, he took out the ugly stone gourd in the storage bag and put all the spiritual springs in it into the tangram gourd.
Xiao Ziyang sent the elixir and classics back to Cangshan Village, and then returned to Daluo Mountain and retreated again.
After the retreat, Xiao Ziyang did not start cultivating immediately, he slowly combed through the "Purple Jade Smoke" method in his heart.
After he completed the cultivation of the first level of physical exercise, although there were no new spells in the law decision he obtained, he was told that after he cultivated the first level of physical exercise, his physical body would be further strengthened, the essence would be full, and the dantian would expand accordingly, which could accommodate two spirit swords.
At that time, Xiao Ziyang was so distracted by a Tsukidan that he ignored it.
How stupid this is! Not to mention that he has used the spirit sword many times to defeat the enemy, it is the two life-saving methods attached to this spirit sword that almost gave him an extra life.
