Fifty thousand miles in three days, really magical.
But the price was that the five ghosts were exhausted to death.
"Master Zhang, let's say goodbye."
In a wilderness outside the Black Tuyuan, Zhang Yang and Qian Muyun counted their harvests with each other.
Zhang Yang obtained a thousand kilograms of black gold, five soul stones, one soul jade, and three levels of armor removal skills, five levels of armor removal skills, three levels of forbidden air skills, five levels of flying skills, three levels of ground hardening skills, and five levels of quagmire skills.
Qian Muyun, on the other hand, obtained the mysterious-level magic word taught to him by Zhang Yang: Confused Heart.
However, it will take some time to crack the mysterious magic words. Qian Muyun originally invited Zhang Yang to stay in Yening City temporarily and promised to help him solve his identity and residence issues.
When the mysterious magic words are decoded, Zhang Yang can leave.
But Zhang Yang still chose to refuse.
Because for him, magic words, or the reverse magic words that can be cracked are certainly very useful, but they are not as good as the advantage he has now. One unit of standard heaven and earth spiritual energy automatically generated every day is too important to him.
He needs a period of retreat to practice, and he is not worried that Qian Muyun will not keep his words.
"please take care!"
Zhang Yang also bowed his hand and quickly parted ways with Qian Muyun.
Then he activated the magic word: Shadow, and after escaping for hundreds of miles in one breath, he finally revealed his body. It was necessary for him to be so cautious. He didn't want to start a new escape journey.
However, neither Zhang Yang nor Qian Muyun knew that about half a day after they separated, a figure traced the exact location where Wu Ding and Wu Gui died from exhaustion.
After lingering here for a moment, the figure decisively chased the direction in which Qian Muyun left.
—
A relatively prosperous town appeared in front. This town had no city walls and no obvious defensive measures. It was very different from the tense and tense villages on the black soil plains.
But Zhang Yang didn't dare to look down upon it. There must be a reason why villages and towns in this world of cultivating immortals could exist.
As I walked slowly over, no one came to stop me from asking. There was also no formation to protect the village, and the warning formation was activated.
Stepping into the town, there are numerous pedestrians, busy businesses, old men and women basking in the sun on the streets, children playing, and village women washing clothes by the well. This is a living small town.
Even Zhang Yang didn't notice any powerful people in this town.
When Zhang Yang walked to the center of the town, a huge stone tablet appeared in front of him, like a giant sword reaching into the sky. The stone tablet was engraved with mysterious patterns, and he also sensed mana fluctuations here.
When Zhang Yang got within a hundred steps of the stone tablet, he suddenly felt something in his heart. He felt a sharp sword intent burst out from the stone tablet, locking him directly. At the same time, a phantom appeared. In the phantom, it was a swordsman in white. It was invisible. He is young, but his whole body is full of fierceness and coldness. You can tell at a glance that he is a standard swordsman.
"Outsiders, this Guanshan Town and the surrounding five hundred miles are all under the protection of our Great Dream Sword Sect. They are not allowed to cause trouble within the five hundred miles surrounding this Guanshan Town. They are also not allowed to meditate and practice or absorb spiritual energy within this area. , harming living beings, if you dare to violate it, you will be regarded as an enemy of our Great Dream Sword Sect and will be killed without mercy!"
After giving a warning, the phantom disappeared, but the sword intent locked on Zhang Yang remained.
Then he instantly understood why this small town of Guanshan seemed so peaceful and peaceful. Behind the feelings stood the Great Dream Sword Sect, a sect of cultivating immortals that was many times more powerful than Yening City.
Just this warning, unless you are really crazy or want to die, you will only cause trouble.
"This world of immortal cultivators is really full of malice towards casual cultivators. Let alone finding a place to build a mountain gate or establish a sect, just meditating at will and absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth will lead to death. From this point of view, Kurotsuchihara is more free. ,Pity."
Zhang Yang sighed and cupped his hands in front of the stone tablet. Of course he didn't dare to make a mistake, and there was no need to make a mistake.
Bypassing the stone monument, he wandered around the town and ordered some local specialties in a restaurant, drinking and eating by himself.
It is worth mentioning that the locals are not unfamiliar with or afraid of immortal cultivators. They also accept immortal stones, and one immortal stone can be exchanged for one hundred taels of gold.
Zhang Yang took a fairy stone and basically figured out most of the things he wanted to know.
For example, the time when Guanshan Town was established can be pushed back a thousand years. For a thousand years, the Great Dream Sword Sect has been providing protection. Every few years, one or two Great Dream Swordsmen will come to the town. Disciples of the sect collect protection fees. Well, there are 500 acres of fairy rice fields planted in Guanshan Town. This kind of rice needs to be harvested every three years, 80% of which needs to be handed over to the Dream Sword Sect, and 10% is reserved for rice seed. 10% will be turned over to the Daqi Dynasty.
In addition, Guanshan Town is the only way to go from Yening City to Xuantie City, so there are constant business trips and life is quite leisurely.
At the end of the day, the restaurant owner pointed out a clear way to make a fortune for Zhang Yang.
"Young man, you look like a capable cultivator. If you are short of money, why not go to the Earth Temple in the town? The Earth Master is responsible for guarding the Earth of the Dream Sword Sect, and will also issue some instructions for slaying demons. There is a reward, if you go and pick it up, the reward will be very good."
"Isn't this a place blessed by the Great Dream Sword Sect? Why are the rewards for slaying demons not being held by the disciples of the Great Dream Sword Sect?"
Zhang Yang asked his doubts.
"Hey, young man, can that be the same? The disciples of the Dream Sword Sect are all immortals, and they can fly around in the sky. It would be great if they can give our Guanshan Town a name of protection. Normally we encounter How can we trouble them when we arrive at some unnatural monsters and monsters?"
"Of course, if Guanshan Town really encounters a disaster, the Dream Sword Sect will definitely take action."
The restaurant owner looked confident and satisfied, while Zhang Yang looked thoughtful.
After having enough wine and food, he took the gold and rented a courtyard in the small town of Guanshan. This kind of thing is very common here, because businessmen often use this place as a transit point for goods.
And with the name of the Dream Sword Sect, no one dares to cause trouble.
So Zhang Yang decided to retreat here, because compared to the less stable wilderness, this mountain-viewing town is really suitable.
Next, he absorbs one standard unit of heaven and earth spiritual energy every day, and then converts and absorbs it.
About ten days later, Zhang Yang had accumulated enough qualifications to open the next sword cultivation heavenly vein.
This sword-cultivating heavenly vein is called Lingmai Jianwan.
As the name suggests, the effect of this Spirit Vein Sword Pill is somewhat similar to that of the Jindan Taoist's Dantian, which is where the natal spiritual energy is stored.
Before opening the Spirit Vein Sword Pill, Zhang Yang could store up to 200 natal spiritual energy in his body. If he could successfully open the Spirit Vein Sword Pill, even the first level, he could store up to 500 natal spiritual energy at once. of.
Having so much natal spiritual energy, the biggest advantage for Zhang Yang is that if he releases the triple golden sword again, he won't have to waste his life span at every turn.
Because releasing the triple golden sword once requires consuming 200 mouthfuls of natal spiritual energy at one time.
It's absolutely terrifying.
However, activating the Spirit Vein Sword Pill is not simply a matter of piling up the natal spiritual energy.
This requires three prerequisites.
First of all, the soul pulse, heart pulse, and mind pulse must all be activated. Now Zhang Yang has done it, including the fourth level of soul pulse, the fourth level of heart pulse, and the second level of mind pulse.
Secondly, it is the understanding of the realm. This is very important. Don't think that sword cultivators are not immortal cultivators. Sword cultivators and Jindan Taoists are the same. They must understand the charm of heaven and earth, but they are different ways to achieve the same goal.
Only by comprehending a certain degree of the Taoist Rhythm of Heaven and Earth can the natal spiritual energy be further purified and advanced, and then the Spiritual Vein Sword Pill can be activated on this basis.
This is similar to the Dantian cultivation method of Jindan Taoist.
Basically, if Zhang Yang can cultivate his Spiritual Vein Sword Pill to the third level, then he will be almost equivalent to reaching the golden elixir stage.
Note that it is level, not strength. In terms of strength alone, a flamboyant trump card and various magic words are enough to kill ordinary enemies at the Golden Core stage.
Originally, if Zhang Yang wanted to comprehend enough of the Taoism of Heaven and Earth, it would take more than ten years.
But now with the background modifier, it only took him more than ten days to complete this primitive accumulation.
As for the third prerequisite, it is actually simpler. That is to accumulate enough natal spiritual energy to facilitate transformation and improvement. After all, this is a process from quantitative change to qualitative change. You cannot suddenly say "I have no ammunition" in the middle of the advancement. I can Can't pause for a moment, isn't it funny
Therefore, Zhang Yang had to reserve at least 300 natal spiritual energy for himself, and almost 3,000 units of ordinary mana, which would cost 300 yuan in immortal stone.
This is not a problem. Zhang Yang can reserve 200 natal spiritual energy in his body. He only needs to wait for the standard unit of heaven and earth spiritual energy to appear the next day, and then start a breakthrough, and it will be a matter of course.
Of course, this was the first time that Zhang Yang had broken through a difficult level in his practice since he successfully established the foundation. He couldn't help but attach great importance to this. For this reason, he even went to the Earth Temple in Guanshan Town to spend a whole day. One hundred immortal stones were used to buy ten talismans just to prevent unexpected situations.
It is worth mentioning that the Tutu God in the Tutu Temple in Guanshan Town is the same local god as Zhao Xianyu. But unlike Zhao Xianyu, the Tutu God here has been restricted to a growth limit. He has completely become the steward and manager of the Dream Sword Sect in various places.
This also made Zhang Yang more aware of how powerful the Xianxia sects in this world were. Within their sphere of influence, the gods were not absent, but were restricted by them.
"Fortunately, I no longer have to farm or build any sects. Otherwise, these immortal sects alone would be enough for me to drink."
Zhang Yangyan thought insincerely, and then returned to the courtyard where he rented, and activated the talismans he bought one by one. This is a simple and portable defensive warning talisman. It is very compact and can last for twenty-four hours. Time is a good thing necessary for home travel.
After getting ready, Zhang Yang first took out a soul stone with a serious look on his face.
Because this time, he not only had to activate the Spirit Vein Sword Pill, but also tried to break through the soul force field to the spiritual realm, which was the only sign of advanced spiritual practice.
