Chapter 197: Ember Soul
Inside the chalet.
Mo Lao has gray hair and wrinkles crawling all over the place.
In front of the old man, there is a terrain model of the basin cave with the size of two zhang.
I don't know what material it was made of, it was fan-shaped, mimicking the topography of this place, and it was lifelike.
Zhang Yan originally wanted to think carefully about it and choose a good place to open up a cave mansion.
Unexpectedly, he was frightened by the old man's words and hurriedly made a choice.
Looking at Mo Lao's temper, he can definitely do it, if he rubs it, he will really be thrown out.
On the topography model of this basin, the places where there is no owner are relatively gloomy, and where there is a master, it is a flash of inspiration.
The dark incense slope, one of which has never been visited before, is located in a hillside valley area, far away from the edge of the basin, and it can be seen from the color sign on the top that the aura is relatively much thinner.
From the topography point of view, the left side of the dark incense slope is the basin, the right side is the southern swamp, and the opposite side is the southern snow mountain.
Zhang Yan weighed it a little and immediately chose this place, also because there was a fertile canyon there, although the spiritual weapon was not rich, but it was the most suitable for cultivating spiritual medicine.
In addition, it is extremely remote and few people set foot there, whether it is the elixir planted by Zhang Yan or the secrets on his body, it is not easy for people to discover.
At the beginning, Zhang Yan chose to enter the Baiyun Desolate Peak, but he came here for this, and now he has finally achieved his goal.
It's just that Zhang Yan chose this place, but Zi Wuming was stunned, and his face was full of unknown reasons.
After all, compared to the Dark Fragrance Slope, other places, such as the Hidden Sun Mountain, Qimuyuan and other places, are much better than the Dark Fragrance Slope in terms of topography and aura.
"Oh, are you sure you choose the Dark Fragrance Slope? It is the most remote place, not only is it far away from the other disciples of the same sect, the aura is thin, and the disciples of the Falling Snow Peak and the Flame Peak are also the closest, and the old man will give you another choice almost ......"
Mo Lao also raised his eyelids in slight surprise, glanced at Zhang Yan, and said slowly.
"The disciple chose to open a cave in the dark incense slope. ”
Zhang Yan bowed slightly, shook his head and said.
"The old man is too lazy to say anything, in the future, that place will be your private cave, if someone breaks in, you can dispose of it!"
After Mo Lao finished speaking, the old man's big hand was already slightly pinched out, and a milky white spiritual light **** came out, and fell on the dark incense slope of the terrain model of the basin cave in the blink of an eye.
As the milky white spiritual light fell, in less than a breath, the top of the dark incense slope was already suddenly full of spiritual light, shining.
This marks that the dark incense slope has a main land.
"Okay, you two little guys, go out to help the old man cover the door, the old man is going to continue to be busy!"
Mo Lao said, turned around again, leaned on his old body, and got busy again.
At this time, Zhang Yan realized that what Mo Lao was busy with was actually alchemy.
As for the fact that I couldn't smell the medicinal fragrance from the moment I entered the door, it turned out that around the alchemy furnace, it was shrouded in a cyan light curtain, and the temperature did not disperse, and the medicinal fragrance did not overflow.
Zhang Yan's eyes lit up suddenly, but after being slightly pulled by Zi Wuming, he could only reluctantly withdraw from the cabin.
"Receiving the Cave Mansion, it's so easy!But, Senior Brother, Mo Lao is an alchemist?"
Outside the cabin, Zhang Yan glanced back at the room and asked Zi Wuming.
"Of course, Mo Lao is the only alchemist in our Baiyun Peak, the usual elixir, the peak master and some elders, can refine it by themselves, but if it is to refine some high-grade pills or partial ones, they will personally come to ask Mo Lao to refine it......"
Zi Wuming's face was slightly proud, and he said with a smile: "Among the first generation of disciples, most of them know that Mo Lao is an alchemist, but Mo Lao has a strange temper, and most of the disciples don't know how many molds they have touched, and they haven't been able to ask Mo Lao to refine once.
"But, junior brother, why did you choose that dark incense slope? Other places, but it's much better than that!"
Jiu Ling and the other three stood beside the two of them, and when they heard Zi Wuming's words, the corners of their mouths couldn't help but twitch slightly.
They are all knowledgeable Daoists, Zhang Yan is a master of alchemy at such an age, if he waits for his cultivation to reach a high place, he is definitely much stronger than Mo Lao in the other party's mouth.
"The junior brother knows his own problems, there is no spiritual root, the speed of absorbing the spiritual energy is still very slow, whether the spiritual energy is thin or not, is no longer the most important, the junior brother chooses there, it is just to be quiet. ”
Of course, Zhang Yan would not tell the truth, and replied with a slight smile.
"In this case, the junior brother opened up the cave mansion, the senior brother can't accompany you over, and I also have to go back to prepare for the blood pool in two months, and, hehe, thanks to you this time, the senior brother has won a large amount of spirit stones and materials, this is five thousand lower-grade spirit stones, it is yours, junior brother!"
Zi Wuming couldn't help but get excited when he thought of the spirit stone treasure he won in this bet, and casually threw a bag of heavy spirit stones at Zhang Yan.
"That's right, junior brother, the phaseless circle you put away when you killed Li Wuxian is the thing of the core disciple of Beidou Peak, you should use it cautiously and not publicly. ”
couldn't go far, Zi Wuming seemed to think of something, and turned around and told Zhang Yan.
"Core disciple of Beidou Peak?"
Zhang Yan watched Zi Wuming leave, his brows furrowed slightly, thoughtful.
A quarter of an hour later, Zhang Yan, Jiu Ling and the others swept north along the edge of the basin and came to the dark incense slope that already belonged to Zhang Yan's territory.
As soon as they entered the realm of the Dark Fragrance Slope, several people immediately felt that it was different, different from other places in the basin, the aura here was too thin.
It's just the scenery in front of you, but it's extremely eye-catching.
The hillside is verdant with trees, and a small stream flows down to the bottom of the majestic snow-capped mountains on the opposite side.
On both sides of the creek are weeping willows, and in the concave slopes, snow peaches grow, and snow-white flowers fill the entire tree, blurring people's eyes.
Moreover, in this hillside, a faint aroma, wandering and wandering, makes people feel comfortable for a while, and as soon as you enter here, it seems to be a pleasure.
"Senior brother, in addition to the thin aura, the environment here is much better than other places, you can really enjoy it!"
Jiu Ling looked at the scenery in front of him, and suddenly said with excitement on his face.
Zhang Yan himself was slightly stunned, at that time, on the terrain model, where was the dark fragrance slope so beautiful in front of him, thinking of this remote place, it would be such a charming scenery.
However, Zhang Yan was not too surprised by this, but looked up at the small valley behind the hillside, from which the clear stream flowed.
Zhang Yan's feet swept away, and he flew into the small valley.
The exit of the small valley is extremely narrow, no more than two or three zhang wide on both sides, and there are steep peaks on both sides.
Zhang Yan passed through the narrow mouth of the valley and came to the valley.
The valley is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and all of them are handsome peaks that are hundreds of feet high.
In the middle of the valley is extremely fertile land, and there is a stream flowing through it, which is very suitable for cultivating elixirs.
"This is the place, there is no need to be worse than the elixir garden of the Northern Yuan Gate at all!"
Zhang Yan looked at the valley in front of him, his heart was overjoyed, and he whispered to himself.
Jiu Ling and the other three came in later, and when they saw the scene inside, they couldn't help but show surprise in their eyes.
"I can't imagine that in this ancient place where fierce beasts are rampant, and poor mountains and bad waters are everywhere, there is such a good place!"
Baili Fang looked around, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Everyone, wait a minute, Zhang is now opening a cave in the valley. ”
As Zhang Yan spoke, the imperial envoy picked up the flying sword, and began to dig the cave on the dark incense slope at the exit of the valley.
The flying sword is like a sharp light, coming and going, and the gravel and dirt on the hillside are rattling.
Half an hour later, a brand-new cave mansion was opened up by Zhang Yan.
There are a total of four cave stone rooms, bedrooms, cultivation secret rooms, alchemy stone rooms and cave halls.
The cave was slightly rough, and Zhang Yan didn't have time to carve and furnish it carefully, so he entered it with the three of them and sat down in the hall of the cave.
"The three of them can only linger here for three days, and then they can go back to Xuan Lingfeng, and now there are no outsiders, there are some questions, Zhang wants to ask one or two, I hope you will tell the truth. ”
Zhang Yan frowned slightly, and said solemnly: "The Sixth Eye, do you know who it is?"
"Sixth Eye, Nine Spirits Sense, that is the senior brother of the Inner Gate Nine Palace Hall, his strength is amazing, and he is in the top 100 on the list of the Desolate Ancient Tower!"
Jiu Ling looked at Zhang Yan's solemn appearance, and after a long silence, he replied crisply.
"What is this person's strength, and what does it have to do with Jiuchen Peak?"
Zhang Yan was shocked and asked.
"The strength of the peak in the late stage of the foundation building period! In the inner gate, it is a little famous, a pair of sixth clear eyes secret method, but it is impossible to guard against it!"
Jiu Ling pondered for a long time and continued: "As for the relationship with Jiuchen Peak, it seems that every few years, the Sixth Mingmu will be fixed on Jiuchen Peak to choose the spirit seed, and the Yun Lianfeng you killed may be one of the spirit seeds predetermined by the Sixth Mingmu. ”
"That's really the case! Then the true identity of the Thousand Transformation Demon and the others will not be simple, and the status of the Soul Devouring True Person in the Thousand Spirits Sect will not be low! As long as you don't enter the inner gate, you shouldn't be discovered......
Zhang Yan was secretly shocked, took a deep breath slightly, and sighed secretly.
Moreover, it has not been long since these nine spirits entered the Thousand Spirits Sect, and they actually knew the various famous people in it so clearly, Zhang Yan couldn't help but be surprised in his heart.
"So, can you tell me about your senior sister?"
Zhang Yan stared at Jiu Ling, his eyes full of anticipation and tenderness.
"Are you really familiar with Senior Sister Ziyou?Speaking of the younger generation of disciples in the Qingyun Sect, Senior Sister Ziyou is definitely a unique genius!"
Jiu Ling raised a smile and said with pride.
"Isn't your Senior Sister Ziyou only refining the fourteenth layer of Qi Refining?"
Zhang Yan was slightly stunned, remembering that Qin Ziyou was more powerful than the disciples in the Desolate Ancient Pagoda that Jiu Ling had said before, and couldn't help asking.
"Hehe, senior brother, you must have met Senior Sister Ziyou in the Troubled Water Valley, right? Although Senior Sister Ziyou is only in her twenties, she is already the first senior sister of the inner gate of Qingyun Gate, and she is a real cultivator, but in the Jindan period, it's just that Senior Sister Ziyou has cast a unique secret method and mixed into the Troubled Water Valley!"
Jiu Ling stared at Zhang Yan's stunned appearance, and suddenly showed a smug expression, pouting and saying.
"What?
Zhang Yan was shocked, almost choked, and looked at the girl opposite, looking incredulous.
"Zhang Yan, if you can meet you again in the future, and your cultivation fails to surpass me, I will kill you mercilessly! I hope you can live to that day!"
The scene in the Netherworld Temple in the Troubled Water Valley, as well as the words left by the girl, resurfaced in Zhang Yan's mind.
Now that he learned that the other party was already in the Jindan period, Zhang Yan's heart was slightly gloomy.
An invisible pressure suddenly appeared in his heart.
"Hehe, are you scared, right? But in the land of the Northern Regions, there are countless sect families, and there are countless geniuses, Senior Sister Ziyou, among them, she is only average......"
Jiu Ling looked at Zhang Yan with a dejected look, and said with a smile: "You won't have a crush on my Senior Sister Ziyou, right?"
Jiu Ling stared at Zhang Yan's eyes, a trace of gloom suddenly appeared on his face, and he sighed: "However, today's Qingyunmen, except for some heritage, is not as good as it was back then......"
"Three, I want to be alone!"
Zhang Yan hurriedly left a sentence, got up and entered the cultivation secret room.
"Ninth Senior Sister, you don't really like this kid, do you?"
Lin Qiaoyin looked at Zhang Yan and left, looked at Jiu Ling with a smile, and asked.
"Senior sister, don't make fun of me......"
Jiu Ling's face suddenly turned slightly red, and he hid his face and turned over.
Inside the secret room.
Zhang Yan's face was slightly gloomy, revealing a sense of loneliness.
"Yin Kui, what kind of sect is Qingyunmen?"
Zhang Yan only knew that the Qingyun Gate of the Dao was the place of origin of the master, and now he learned that it happened to be Qin Ziyou's master, it was too much of a coincidence, and Qin Ziyou was already in the Jindan stage, this kind of talent and cultivation speed were too terrifying!
"Qingyunmen, is a hidden sect in the Northern Regions, thousands of years ago, it was also a super sect in the Northern Regions, stronger than the Thousand Spirits Sect! ”
The ghost spirit bead was suspended in the stone room, and the yin inside, deep memories, opened his mouth and said: "I think that Qin Ziyou in the master's mouth is the person the master loves, right?
"After all, the Northern Regions are full of power, the cultivation family is like the stars, there are so many geniuses, some people are born with extraordinary physiques, coupled with the accumulation of countless elixirs and resources, it is normal to cultivate quickly.
"Moreover, I think the predecessors also told the master that the speed and slowness of cultivation in the early stage will not be destined for future achievements, those characters who often stand at the pinnacle of the pinnacle are all experiencing the hardships and hardships on the road of cultivating immortals, life and death, and you don't have to feel frustrated by other people's talents at all.
"If you have the opportunity, the master will still go out of the Thousand Spirits Sect and go to the Northern Regions to communicate with others, which will be more conducive to your cultivation and the improvement of your strength. ”
Zhang Yan nodded, suppressed the waves in his heart, took a deep breath, and said, "Yin Kui can know the Heavenly Realm?"
"I know what the master of the Dao is thinking, but those are just rumors among cultivators, according to what the ancestor said back then, there is no place for immortality in the world at all, otherwise with the cultivation of the ancestor back then, he would have broken through the realm and ascended a long time ago!"
Yin Kui frowned slightly, and said: "However, there may be some secrets, the ancestor didn't talk about Yin Kui, and Yin Kui can't know." ”
"So what's north of Demon Cloud Ridge?"
Zhang Yan knew that Yin Kui would not lie, and he didn't bother too much, so he continued to ask.
"Demon Cloud Sea! The Ancestor entered it once back then, but he could only get halfway there, and was besieged by more than a dozen demon beasts in the Transformation Stage, and had to retreat. ”
Yin Kui showed fear on his face, thinking back to the original scene, he couldn't help but be afraid and said: "Even with the means of the Ancestor to reach the sky, in the face of so many demon beasts in the Transformation Stage, he had to retreat, and returned to the Thousand Spirits Sect, and he never went out again.
Since then, rumors about the Heavenly Realm have continued to spread, but no one can find them, and as for breaking into the sea of demon clouds, they can't even think of it. As for what is hidden here, Yin Kui does not know. ”
Listening to Yin Kui's words, Zhang Yan was silent, and he couldn't ask a reason when he looked at it at the end, so he simply put it down, the most important thing in front of him was to improve his own cultivation.
Two days later, Jiu Ling, Bai Li Fang, Lin Qiaoyin and the other three left Baiyun Peak in a hurry after saying goodbye to Zhang Yan.
And Zhang Yan, at the entrance of the valley, arranged a simple early warning small formation, and then arranged it around the cave mansion before returning to the cave mansion.
Zhang Yan sat alone in his cultivation room, with a ghost spirit bead floating in front of him.
Zhang Yan pinched the trick in his hand, and in the blink of an eye, he ingested the soul of Li Wuxian from it.
"It's too late for you to let go of Senior Brother now, otherwise you will regret it later!"
Li Wuxi's spirit was released, and his face was immediately hideous, his eyes were resentful, he stared at Zhang Yan, and said fiercely.
"Who is Sucheng?"
Zhang Yan ingested the soulless spirit with one hand, rubbed the phaseless circle in his hand with the other, and asked indifferently.
"Ha Lu Ha...... Senior Brother has also learned the name of Senior Brother Sucheng? Let me tell you, he is the core disciple of Beidou Peak, the top 100 disciples on the Xuanist List of the Ancient Tower, what you have in your hand is Senior Brother Sucheng's, if you don't want to die, just let me go and hand over the treasure!"
Li Wuxian stared at Zhang Yan and said with a sneer.
"It seems that Ximen Xiaochen was arrested, and it should have nothing to do with you! Who arrested Ximen Xiaochen?"
Zhang Yan's eyes froze and said.
"The first generation disciple of Beidou Peak, Yan Xijian, hehe, junior brother, even if you go to the door, anyway, senior brother has already left his soul now, and then when Senior Brother Sucheng extracts your soul and refines your soul, you will not be lonely without a trace!"
Li Wuxian didn't hide it, and sneered and said that the person who captured Ximen Xiaochen, but his words were full of resentment.
"Since it is the first generation of disciples, I want to participate in the blood pool, and when the time comes, Zhang will take their souls together, and refine them with you, and I will not treat anyone badly!"
Zhang Yan's eyes were cold and hunting, and he turned his hand and threw the soulless spirit into the ghost spirit bead again.
"No wonder this treasure can have such power, it turns out to be the thing of the disciples in the Desolate Ancient Tower!"
Looking at the phaseless circle in his hand, Zhang Yan muttered to himself.
Only those genius disciples in the Ancient Pagoda would have such a heaven-defying magic weapon that could imprison other people's flying swords.
However, now Zhang Yan is not in a hurry to practice, and has retracted the storage bag.
As for the possible threat to Sucheng in the future, Zhang Yan didn't care at all, even if the other party didn't come, but Ximen Xiaochen was arrested, he had to personally go to the trouble of the disciples of Beidou Peak.
Airplanes!
Zhang Yan patted the storage bag and took out the Qingyunding that he had snatched from Li Wuji's hand.
Even if Qingyunding didn't urge, there was a slight streamer rotating, and the power was faintly falling.
Zhang Yan raised the big tripod with one hand, and played the magic trick in his hand, the spirit flashed, and a dazzling red light entered the big tripod in the blink of an eye.
Then, with a muffled sound of the cyan Dading, a dark green spirit bead the size of a fist flew out of it.
"Bang!"
It's just that at the moment when the spirit bead appeared, it suddenly made a crisp sound and shattered.
And with the shattering of the spirit bead, there was immediately a white firework that flew out of it.
"Senior Brother......
Nasen's white fireworks, floating in the air, were in a trance for a long time, staring at Zhang Yan, and suddenly sounded.
"Ba Huo, you're fine!"
Zhang Yan looked at the white fireworks and immediately exclaimed, and as Ba Huo screamed, he was also relieved.
Ba Huo lost his body, and Zhang Yan was also expected, but it was already a blessing to be able to keep his soul!
"The soul of the ember spirit, he has become the soul of the ember spirit seedling!"
At this time, the voice of the old monster of Xuyuanzi was heard again, as if he had seen something incredible.
