Chapter 204: Huazhen Ghost Cultivation (1)
After three full days, Xiao Ziyang barely straightened out the suddenly extra memories and knowledge in his mind. At the same time, I also knew what was going on.
It turned out that the so-called "smiling ghost" organization was not an evil organization composed of a group of foundation building monks at all. It's a ghost cultivator with a mid-stage Jindan cultivation, named Cang Soulzi, a group of monks controlled by evil laws.
The "smiling ghost" lair mentioned in the quest scroll has been destroyed, which is basically a plan by the gecko of this barn soul to cut off its tail to delay time, and this is his real lair.
This Cang Soul is a guy with a lot of background. This person is not from Xiliang. He came from the east of the Taichu Mountains, a country called Zhenhua Kingdom.
To the east of Mount Taichu is the area that the monks call the Central Plains. It has a vast area, countless countries, countless famous mountains and rivers, and has also given birth to countless Xiuzhen sects.
In the west of the Taichu Mountain, where the Xiliang Kingdom is located, it is called the Taixi region by the monks. It was regarded as a remote place by the monks of the Central Plains, and very few people paid attention to it.
In fact, through the memory of Cang Soul Zi, Xiao Ziyang knew that from the perspective of an immortal cultivator, the Taixi region could indeed not be compared with the Central Plains, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was wild and backward.
Zhenhua Kingdom is located in the northwest corner of the Central Plains, bordering the prairie in the north and Taichu Mountain in the east. The land area of Zhenhua Kingdom is very vast, and it is twice as large as Xiliang Kingdom.
Due to its remote location and mountainous territory, the country is not rich and powerful. And there is no natural waterway transportation in this country like the Jiuqu River. The vast territory made it impossible for her to centralize power, so the country implemented a feudal system, and the emperor of Zhenhua had very limited control over the country.
All of this shows that the country is very weak. In fact, that's exactly what happened. Then it stands to reason that unlike the Zhenhua Kingdom, which is guarded by the Tai'an Mountains in the north of the Xiliang Kingdom, it should often be ravaged by the northern grassland clans.
But in fact, on the contrary, not only did Zhenhua not worry about the invasion of the grassland peoples, but even their territory extended thousands of miles into the grassland, so that there were more than ten nomadic clans in Zhenhua There were still more than ten nomadic clans in the country. And the grassland peoples in the north, even in a very cold disaster year, when the tribesmen were dying of cold and starvation, they never dared to go south to plunder like they did with the Western Liang Kingdom. They did not even dare to cross the border a single step.
And the cause of all this is the "Youtuo Sect" of the immortal cultivation sect where Cang Soul Zi is located. The Youtuo Sect is one of the top ten demonic sects in the Central Plains.
The Youtuo Sect, which was destroyed by the Western Liang Kingdom thousands of years ago, is just a small branch of the Yutuo Sect in the Central Plains. So small that after it was destroyed, the Central Plains Youtuo Sect didn't even ask.
From this, it can be seen that the gate faction in the Central Plains of the road is by no means comparable to the so-called gate sect in a remote place like Xiliang Kingdom.
In the Xiliang Kingdom, a sect like the Da Luo Sect with three Yuan Infant Elders in charge is considered very strong, but according to Cang Soul Zi's memory, in the Zhenhua Kingdom Youtuo Sect, there are as many as hundreds of Yuan Infant Elders. There are also the great monks of the Digital Transformation Divine Stage. Compared to the Yuta Sect, the Daluo Sect is simply not worthy of carrying shoes.
In the Central Plains region, the Xiuzhen sect, which has improved slightly, has several Yuanying elders. Without the Great Monk of the Transformation Period, you are embarrassed to say that you are a famous sect at all.
Since there are monks on the grassland, there are naturally also cultivators. The entire grassland, millions of tribes, large and small, were ruled by a great sect of cultivation called the Great Snow Mountain Sect.
The entire northern prairie is unimaginably vast in area. In Cang Soulzi's memory, the prairie is two million miles from east to west and 500,000 miles from north to south.
As a cultivator sect that rules over such a vast area, the Great Snow Mountain Sect is undoubtedly very powerful, but it still can't be compared to the top ten demon sects in the Central Plains. Therefore, under the suppression of the Emperor Taishang and the Great Snow Mountain faction of all the tribes in the prairie, these grassland tribes would rather starve to death and freeze to death than dare to enter the Zhenhua Kingdom to plunder.
The gate of the main altar of the Youtuo Sect is in the Youtuo Mountains in the southwest corner of the Zhenhua Kingdom. As one of the top ten demon sects in the Central Plains, the Youtuo Sect naturally would not only control such a weakened Zhenhua Kingdom, in fact, there were more than ten countries around the Donghua Kingdom that were under the control of the Youtuo Sect, and all of these countries were several times larger than the Xiliang Kingdom.
The reason why the Youtuo Sect wants to set up the main altar in the poor and remote Zhenhua country, on the one hand, Youtuo Mountain is the world's most spiritual veins, on the other hand, the mountainous land of Zhenhua country, the cultivation resources are very rich, and there are dozens of high-grade spiritual stone mines alone.
Cang Soul Zi is one of the Jindan disciples in this sect that is so large that it makes people's hearts tremble.
Cang Soul Zi's qualifications are average, but he is just a six-grade water system earth spirit root. This kind of qualification can be regarded as upper-middle in the Great Luo Sect, but in the Youtuo Sect, it has just reached the minimum standard for inclusion.
As one of the few famous sects in the world, the Youtuo Sect, which controls more than a dozen countries and has a population of tens of billions, will admit 100,000 disciples with similar qualifications to Cang Soul Zi every year, and the vast majority of these disciples have become the stepping stones at the bottom of the huge pyramid structure of this Demon Dao Sect that emphasizes the survival of the fittest and the law of the jungle. Most of them fell victim to countless bloody battles, while a few were subservient and sloppy. Only a handful of people can step further on the bones of others.
Cang Soulzi's qualifications are ordinary, but he is sharp-minded and ruthless, and he is also like a fish in water in this Demon Dao sect where the weak eat the strong. He stepped on the bones of countless peers, and finally formed a Jindan and became a Jindan disciple.
But his path has come to this point, but it has come to an end. Because it bears a dead pill.
The so-called Dancheng nine products. One product is born, four products are dead, and seven products are false.
In Cang Soulzi's memory, knotting Dan was an extremely complicated process, like refining an incomparably complex magic weapon with his own true yuan in his own body.
Moreover, Yudan is not like Tsukiki, even if it fails, there is no loss, as long as there is a Tsukidan in hand, you can start again immediately.
Once the knot fails, it will greatly damage the monk's vitality, and it will be difficult to recover without ten years. It is also a very long process, and it takes a full ten years.
A foundation building monk with a life span of 200 years, if he can start to marry Dan at the age of 100, he will have five chances to marry Dan at most.
Cultivators who can cultivate to the point where they can form a pill at the age of 100 can be regarded as having a very fast cultivation speed. After all, cultivation is the further you go, the more time-consuming it is.
It is a long and complicated process, and it is impossible not to make mistakes, and mistakes often cause Jindan to have such and such flaws. Some defects can be remedied later, while others cannot. Some imperfections that cannot be remedied are insignificant, while others are deadly. Therefore, the monks divided the golden pill into nine grades according to the quality of the golden pill.
