longevity road trip

Zhang Shiping stared at the man, the distance between the two was quite far, they were in a stalemate for a while, and finally the man figured it out.The two sides stared at each other, and at the same time slowly retreated ten feet.

After leaving with the cultivator of Xuanhuomen, another day passed, Zhang Shiping flew the imperial weapon at low altitude, and Zhang Shiping's face was also a little unsightly. I thought that at least half of the elixir points would be collected this time, and I would find some more elixir outside. Medicine, make enough for a Foundation Establishment Pill.But now, just relying on two 60-year-old elixirs plus a few [-]-[-]-year-old elixirs cannot be exchanged for the Foundation Establishment Pill.

After walking among the outermost peaks, one day later, there were only a few decades-long elixir plants in the storage bag. Zhang Shiping didn't want to waste any more time. Fly to places where beasts are densely populated.

Chapter 34 Ambush

In the secret realm, there is a place where five peaks are connected. The peaks are like five fingers facing the sky. One is short and the other is long. In the middle is a low basin full of trees. Standing on a ten-foot cliff, Zhang Shiping swung the Luo Jun sword in his hand vigorously, and was thrown aside by him with corrosive green blood, and the grass leaves on the ground instantly rotted into mud.

Several head-sized rotting flies that were still wading green blood on the stone wall, some were cut in half by him, and some were cut in half by him, and hundreds of fist-sized green rotting flies landed below the mountain wall. Colorful rot fly.

This kind of rotting fly, which is not considered a first-order group of monsters, usually builds a nest in the stone cave on the mountain wall, and there are green fly grasses that emit a rotten smell growing around the cave entrance.Although these herbs are not only used for building foundation pills, they can be used to make a kind of demon-inducing incense that attracts monsters, which is relatively rare outside.

Zhang Shiping killed the rot flies flying around in the green fly, and blocked the opening of the hole with burning wet wood. Zhang Shiping pinched his nose, picked the green fly with gloves, rolled it into a ball, and quickly put it in the jade. In the box, sealed it with a magic talisman, he hurried away from this place and took a few breaths of fresh air.

The thick smoke can't stop the large number of rotting flies inside for a long time, and the smell here is too bad.Most of the animals caught by rotting flies are thrown into the green fly grass to rot, and the grass roots absorb the juice of the rotting animal corpses, so these green fly grasses grow extremely vigorously.

After Zhang Shiping was far away from here, he chose a small rock pool with a clear bottom, squeezed out the juice of the green fly grass, took out a bag of white bone meal and a box of light yellow sandalwood powder from the storage bag, and put the bubbling Pour the green juice into it, and then add three kinds of herbs to make a Yaoyin incense that is as thick as eight pinky fingers.

He just washed off the bad smell on his body in the small rock pool. The animal skin gloves that he picked and tanned still had a strong pungent smell after washing. There was a scent of attracting demons in it, so he simply threw it away. Anyway, here is also full of choking smell.

Zhang Shiping was about to fly away with the weapon, but just as he was about to take out the magic weapon, he stopped suddenly and immediately used the Qi Containment and Invisibility skills. Sound, he jumped onto the tree next to Xiaoshitan, hiding in the dense leaves.

He kept his eyes on the grass on the left, and after a while, a big wild boar with hooked fangs and drooling came out, rushed straight to the animal skin gloves with the scent of attracting demons, and swallowed it in two or three bites.

Zhang Shiping breathed a sigh of relief, his face was tense at first, because he was afraid that it would be just right, and when he was making the demon-inducing incense, he would rush out of the base-building monsters.He has already chosen the downwind outlet, just to prevent the gas from drifting out.

Seeing that this was just an ordinary wild boar, Zhang Shiping relaxed.

After the wild boar ate the fur gloves, after a while, he walked staggeringly, as if he was drunk.This kind of ordinary beast can't resist the medicinal power of attracting demon fragrance.

If it is a first-order monster, then it can resist for a while. For the second-order monster, Zhang Shiping does not know if it will be effective.

Zhang Shiping didn't plan to add a pig's hind leg or a pig's skin to his storage bag, so he flew away from here. He flew at a low altitude and took out a map to compare. The Yin Qi in the Mass Burial Mound has increased many times.

The map shows that this place is rich in Silver Star Flower, one of the thirteen auxiliary medicines in the foundation-building elixir.Zhang Shiping chose a place where no one was around, landed, and put away the flying magic weapon.

Zhang Shiping had just stepped here, the soil was dark, he grabbed the soil on the ground, squeezed it, and water droplets came out from between his fingers from the moist black soil.

Zhang Shiping scanned with his spiritual sense and kept searching for the nearby elixir. In fact, doing so was not very useful, because the elixir would emit special aura fluctuations except at certain times, such as flowering period, in order to attract spirit insects to pollinate.

At other times, some spirit flowers and grasses have a self-obscuring instinct of treasures, and will not emit extremely conspicuous fluctuations of spirit energy.

However, when the elixir is absorbing spiritual energy, there will always be some phenomena. The direction of the spiritual energy flow will change slightly, and it will no longer be scattered and disorderly.

Zhang Shiping sent out his consciousness to detect the aura, and wanted to find the elixir through the flow of aura.Of course, the spiritual sense may also directly scan some elixir during the investigation process, and compare the images according to the elixir books I have read before.

This kind of work is a test of patience. You may not get anything for half a day, just like fishing. The more anxious you are, the worse it will be.Zhang Shiping was expressionless and calmed down his mind. He had been gone for a long time.

This place is indeed a secret place. He has discovered many elixir that are slowly absorbing spiritual energy along the way.Except for an 80-year-old Huang Linggucao, the other medicinal materials are all 30-50 years old. He received dozens of elixir plants of this age along the way, and found that the jade box in his storage bag for storing elixir was not enough. , There is no elixir with a year less than [-] years.

Gradually, as Zhang Shiping went farther and farther, the ground under his feet became softer and softer. He entered the swamp, where a person-high thatch grew, and a thick layer of blackened thatch had accumulated underneath. Go down and get water out.

Zhang Shiping's movements became more careful, and he kept sweeping with his divine sense, this time more to prevent the monsters hiding inside from sneaking attacks.

'Hey' Zhang Shiping turned back after passing a low shrub growing in the swamp, and circled around him, and found a tree the size of two fists in the middle of the branched trunk of the shrub. In the hole, there grew a elixir with purple-black leaves and purple petals with silver spots, which was exactly the silver star flower he was looking for.

Zhang Shiping took out the Luo Jun sword, cut off the shrub from the root, carefully uprooted the 200-year-old elixir, took out the jade box, put it in, and sealed it with the elixir, but his spiritual consciousness still did not put it away.

Zhang Shiping had a strange expression on his face. Generally speaking, this kind of elixir was protected by monsters. He was already extremely careful, so why didn't he find this monster coming out.

It doesn't matter, anyway, the elixir is in hand, maybe the monster went out to hunt and took advantage of the loopholes, Zhang Shiping quickened his pace a little, after a while, he had already walked a long distance.

Another day later, on the way, he encountered several monsters hiding in the thatch and ambushing in the swamp mud. Zhang Shiping would fight the ones he could beat, and if he felt it would take a long time, Zhang Shiping would try his best to get rid of them.Only once, he encountered a snake tortoise, this first-rank top-grade monster, Zhang Shiping found that he couldn't move it, the venom sprayed from the snake's tail directly penetrated the aura shield, and was blocked by Zhang Shiping with a thick soil purple gold shield .

Unexpectedly, the venom sprayed out by this snake turtle could directly penetrate the aura shield, scaring him into sweat.

Zhang Shiping didn't want to waste any more mana, so he took out an ice cone talisman, three seven-cent-long ice cones in the shape of a character, and stabbed towards the snake turtle, hitting the blue aura on the snake turtle's body, blocking it for a while, the snake turtle looked at Zhang Shiping Flying away, it chased for a short distance, looked further and further away, shook its head, and the little mung bean blinked a few times, and then got into the swamp again.

After flying away, Zhang Shiping saw that the snake and tortoise were not chasing him, so he stopped and found that he was almost out of the swamp.He glanced around, and suddenly, he stared at a two-person-high mound, where several silvery flowers grew.

Chapter 35 Gray Clothes and Silver Star Grass

Zhang Shiping was about to go forward to pick them, but he stopped in his tracks. The purple gold shield on his body immediately protected him, wandering around him, Luo Junjian was in front of him, and his eyes were fixed on the tall and dense thatch near the mound. , take a few steps back.

"Come out, I've seen you." Zhang Shiping shouted, reached out and took out a dozen willow-leaf knives from the storage bag, and tried to shoot towards the nearby grass.

He felt that there was something in the grass, and he didn't know if it was a monk or a monster.

"Dang, clang." There were several sounds of metal clashing and clashing in the grass.

Zhang Shiping was startled, the thick soil and purple gold shield blocked a flying ax behind him, Luo Junjian split an oncoming iron rod, the iron rod was split in half by Luo Junjian's sword, but turned into two The roots pierced Zhang Shiping's eyes, and after Zhang Shiping controlled the Luo Jun sword to fly, they merged into one in the distance. A monk who came out of the grass caught the flying ax that was spinning, and the iron rod floated on the ground. around that person.

Zhang Shiping didn't relax his vigilance, whether the other party was one person or several people.

"Little brother, it's rare to see a clever sect disciple like you. He's not as reckless as the first two, otherwise we two brothers would be too boring." Extremely thick, he grinned.

Zhang Shiping didn't intend to quarrel with him, that person's breath is not strong, he has eight levels of qi training, did he deliberately push him up, or did he think he could not beat him?

He still had an accomplice, and when he heard the man say that again, Zhang Shiping paid some attention to his surroundings.

Zhang Shiping took out several talismans and pasted them on his body, instead of directly arousing the Vajra Talisman, he gestured with both hands in front of him, seven or eight fist-sized red fireballs appeared in front of him, Zhang Shiping said a few words lightly, these seven The eight fireballs were divided into left and right, and merged into two fireballs the size of human heads. He immediately pointed forward and said "go", and the fireballs roared.

The fireball flew towards the man in gray, Zhang Shiping's face was a little surprised, because when he cast the fireball and flew over, he had already secretly performed the swamp technique under the man's feet. The land that was originally soft mud was now like water. , the man didn't pay attention, his calf sank directly, the man was surprised, he wanted to rush up, and two fireballs the size of a human head hit him on the head.

His iron rod split into two again and spun, trying to block the two fireballs.Zhang Shiping let out a "drink" and moved his hands forward. Two fireballs the size of a human head were divided into eight small fireballs by Zhang Shiping. One fireball, and the remaining four hit the shield he cast one by one, and the aura became increasingly dimmer.

The man showed a terrified expression. He managed to get out of the range of the swamp spell, and seemed to want to escape.

Zhang Shiping did not stop after releasing the swamp technique and fireball, and took out several wind blade talismans from the storage bag. The man was about to jump out of the range of the swamp technique, but was forced into it by the wind blade again, and the aura shield on his body was covered in blue. The wind blade broke through, and the man immediately took out the talisman from the storage bag, and a yellow mask appeared again, and the last wind blade cut the shield in front of his face under the control of Zhang Shiping.

Zhang Shiping hasn't used Luo Junjian until now, just to guard against whether the opponent has any accomplices.

When Zhang Shiping saw the man showing his gap, the idea of ​​cheating flashed through his mind. Zhang Shiping's eyes showed a cold light, and he felt that the opportunity would never come again. For a short moment, he believed that this first-tier top-grade defensive magic weapon, which cost him a lot of spirit stones, could stop the opponent. After all, all the monks who came in were in the Qi training period, and even if the opponent had already completed Qi training, it was impossible for him to do so. Break his shield quickly.

The mana he injected into Luo Junjian increased again, and Luo Junjian flew quickly, and in front of the man's yellow mask, it turned into a huge sword the size of a door panel, and it slashed on top of his head, causing the man's body to fall The waist was pressed into the soft black mud by Zhang Shiping.

The giant sword slashed three times, and the yellow mask left the man in gray with only one head on the ground. The arrogance on his face was gone, and he shouted: "Help, hurry up?"

Zhang Shiping didn't pause, he couldn't hear the other party's shout, so he stopped and looked around like a frightened bird.

Since the other party has an accomplice, he should act more quickly. He cut off his good head with a sword strike, and a fountain of blood several feet high spewed out from the severed artery.

The head and body gradually sank into the swamp, Zhang Shiping didn't pay attention any more, he immediately recalled Luo Junjian, the thick earth and purple gold shield shone brightly, took out a dozen iron gray knives from the storage bag, rolled up the sleeves, and the knives Flew into the grass.

He shot no fewer than a hundred lancets from front to back, left to right, two fingers wide, but only startled wild ducks and birds in the grass.

After waiting for a while, Zhang Shiping was annoyed, he was put in a group, or said that the other party felt that he was not sure and sneaked away first.Zhang Shiping put away the brilliance of the thick soil and purple gold shield beside him, and held it in his hand, but did not put it in the storage bag.

Walking to the place where the gray-clothed man died, there were bloodstains all over the place, and the man had already sunk into the swamp, Zhang Shiping tried to fish it out, but in vain.

Fortunately, there was Silver Star Grass. After he walked over and pulled out those plants, Zhang Shiping also quickly left after seeing that there was still no one there. Although there were only a few rounds of fighting skills, the spirit pressure emitted was not small.

Maybe someone will come, Zhang Shiping left in a hurry, lost several talismans this time, and lost half of the knife he had on his body, but this knife is ordinary wrought iron, which is more expensive for ordinary people, but Zhang Shiping does not lack this , I don’t bring many, one is because of the fighting skills between the monks, if you want to use this kind of knife to break the opponent’s shield, you have to shoot hundreds of thousands of shots in a row, and his storage bag can’t carry it. many things.

Half an hour after Zhang Shiping left, a gray-haired old man with nine levels of qi training came out, and looked in horror at the direction Zhang Shiping left. own companion.

Just now he tried his best to use the Qi Containing Technique, and took advantage of the location to hide. The old man pulled out the willow leaf knife on his arm, the blood was bright red. Fortunately, the young man did not feed poison on the knife edge. He took out a long white cloth and wrapped the wound .

The young man's black crystal shield is not ordinary at first glance, and the long sword in his hand is also sharp and fast, much stronger than his first-rank middle-grade copper short spear magic weapon.

The old man looked at the place where the blood was still gathered into a small pit, and cursed secretly, it's really useless!He didn't know whether he was scolding the man in gray or himself, and then drove away towards Zhang Shiping in different directions.

The gray-clothed man and the old man are both casual practitioners, and their skills and instruments are not comparable to Zhang Shiping.

Like Zhang Shiping, there are not many monks who have a first-tier top-grade offensive magic weapon and a first-tier top-grade defensive magic weapon. There will be some sect disciples, and family disciples depend on the situation. There are really not many casual cultivators left.

As the month approaches, there will be more and more battles between monks.In the next few days, Zhang Shiping also kept searching, and when he was tired, he set up formations, found a place to meditate and rest, and recovered his energy and magical weapons.

Zhang Shiping believes that in the middle of the secret realm, the map marks the location of many foundation-building monsters. There are three main medicines of foundation-building pills that have been around for hundreds of years.

Not knowing where and how many people died, Zhang Shiping shook his head, throwing this thought out, how could he have time to pay attention to this.

Chapter 36 The White Bones and the Refined Corpse

After collecting silver star grass and leaving, Zhang Shiping didn't know that there was an old casual cultivator who was frightened by him and dared not come out.But if Zhang Shiping met someone incompetent, let alone hiding in the grass and pretending to be dead, he would be unambiguous even if he dug the ground and drilled a hole.

However, this five-element escapism requires at least the foundation-building stage to practice, otherwise Zhang Shiping would definitely learn it immediately.

After flying over two mountains, Zhang Shiping put away the flying magic weapon. Seeing that the sky was getting dark, he searched in the mountains for a long time, and when the sky was completely dark, he found a cave.

In the secret realm, monsters appear more frequently at night, and I haven't found a safe place to live. Not to mention that I can't practice all night, and I have to distract myself to pay attention to whether there are monsters approaching.One day or two is fine, but if it comes for seven or eight days, the iron body can't stand it, and the head is still in a daze when fighting with others, isn't it just courting death?

The monks who entered the secret realm had two choices, no one wanted to die in vain. After entering the secret realm, Zhang Shiping was actually afraid and hesitant. He was very afraid of death.In the secret realm, the disciples of the three factions usually lose around [-] to [-] percent, and there are times when it is [-] to [-] percent.

In fact, some died in the hands of other sects, and many died in the hands of their own people.So when Zhang Shiping saw the disciples of Zhengyangzong on the road, he didn't go there either.

I heard that there is a blood contract that can be signed by multiple people. After signing, the oath cannot be violated, otherwise, even if the person is thousands of miles away, the blood contract will be retribution.

But this kind of blood contract is so precious, it is something that Jindan monks regard as treasures, how can they give it every time they open a secret realm.

The cave Zhang Shiping found was not small, it was five or six feet high and two feet wide. When he was clearing the weeds inside, he saw marks on the stones that had been cut with sharp tools. , These traces of cutting with knives and axes are very old, and should be left by the monk who entered the secret realm last time.

There are still some stone tables and chairs inside, but it seems that no one has lived there for at least several years.Zhang Shiping frowned, feeling these traces, could it be that a monk didn't have time to reach the teleportation array last time?

Cultivators only have one month to collect in the secret realm, and after the time has passed, they have not been sent outside. When all the monsters in the middle and late stages of foundation establishment break free from the formation, then this place will not be so safe.

No matter how careful a person is, it is possible to get caught.

Zhang Shiping took out a few small flags from the storage bag, and stuck them in various places at the entrance of the cave, forming a phantom formation. The entrance of the cave, in the eyes of outsiders, was a stone pile with dense vines.

Holding the Moon Pearl, he walked to the innermost part of the cave. There was a wall with sparse vines on it. Behind the vines was a stone bed with a skeleton lying on it. The clothes on his body were half torn.

Zhang Shi's eyes lit up. Could it be that this monk didn't die directly at the hands of the foundation-building monster outside, but struggled to escape into this cave, and died later.

There was no storage bag at the waist of the white skeleton. Zhang Shiping tossed and turned on the white skeleton, and several snakes and insects ran out of it, and a small snake wanted to bite him. Zhang Shiping waved his finger, and a spiritual energy blasted the small snake into several paragraphs.

Zhang Shiping pulled the clothes on the bone, and it rotted immediately. On the ribs on his chest, he could only see a storage bag similar to his style, and a dark red bag.

He swept the storage bag with his consciousness, cleared a space, and poured out the contents, not much.

A magic weapon like a mirror, one or two hundred spirit stones, a dozen jade boxes, dozens of jade slips in jars, and some monster fur and bones.Zhang Shiping flipped the pages in the same way.

Many boxes were empty, only three jade boxes were yellow talismans with stickers, but they had no spiritual power. Zhang Shiping opened it with a light touch, and took out three elixir plants, which were already shriveled. Zhang Shiping felt a little sorry.

In my mind, I pushed back the time of that person's death by several years, because in five or six years, the yellow talisman in the storage bag will not lose its spiritual power so quickly, and the medicinal materials are already like weeds. It seems that this person has been dead for more than ten years.

It has only been 15 years since the last time the secret realm was opened. It seems that this person died before he persisted for a few years.Zhang Shiping said to himself that he must not miss the opening time of the teleportation array, otherwise he might not be able to save his life unless he breaks through here and becomes a foundation-building monk.

The bottles and jars were all empty, and the man had already eaten all the pills in them.There are six pieces of jade slips, and Zhang Shiping likes this kind of records the most. He checked them one by one, and there are four pieces that record the experience of magic cultivation, which are worth learning.

There are two left, one is the cultivation method, the "Tibetan Earth Kungfu" practiced during the Qi training period, the cultivation method of the earth attribute is very common, it is the basic five-element exercise method, and it is better than the "Qingxuanyu" he practiced. "Fire Judgment" was bad, Zhang Shiping had no interest, so he put it in the storage bag.The last piece of jade slip, after Zhang Shiping's spiritual sense swept over it, his expression was a little strange. It recorded a technique for refining corpses, ranging from white zombies to golden armored corpses. I don't know where this monk got it.

White Zombie, Black Zombie, Bronze Armored Corpse, Silver Armored Corpse, and Golden Armored Corpse correspond to mortals, qi training, foundation building, golden elixir, and Yuan Ying.Zhang Shiping looked at it with great interest.Having a good refining corpse is also a good helper.

But when Zhang Shiping saw the end, he curled his lips. He didn't agree with the last thing written in the jade slip.To make corpses, it is best to use relatives with similar blood, the closest blood relationship like parents and children is the best, and the manipulation after refining is more flexible than ordinary corpses.It can also be fed with its own blood, and it will evolve faster.

Zhang Shiping practiced to be able to live forever, but also to protect his relatives.If it is really so heartless, then why is this immortal still cultivating him? People are called immortals in the mountains, not people who turn into rocks are called immortals.

Zhang Shiping put all the Lingshi jade slips into his storage bag, and then used the man's storage bag to put away all the things he didn't have.After finishing these, Zhang Shiping turned his eyes to the dark red bag.

With a sweep of consciousness, Zhang Shiping's face was a little strange. Inside was a blood-red coffin, and the bottom of the coffin was covered with blood-red stones. This should be the body bag mentioned on the jade slip, which is more advanced than the storage bag he is using now. Magic storage space.

Zhang Shiping poured mana into the dark red bag. The thing was too big and needed more mana. After two breaths, the blood-red coffin fell to the ground with a bang.

Zhang Shiping first walked around the coffin, and saw a small talisman on the coffin. The purple-black talisman pattern was very different from the cinnabar he used to make the talisman, giving him a gloomy feeling.

Zhang Shiping arranged formations around the coffin, took out his sword and shield, and held several fireball talismans in his hands.People like this kind of smelting corpses are most afraid of thunder, followed by fire.

Thunder attribute talismans are difficult to make and powerful, and the price is too high. Zhang Shiping bought three mid-level talismans before coming to the secret realm, but none of them were available.

So he can only use fire. If this corpse can still jump out after more than ten years, I'm afraid it won't have much viciousness. If he can't trap it with the formation, he will burn it.

The coffin is very heavy, and it is a magic weapon used to keep corpses. This blood-red wood itself is made of extremely fine dark wood. It has been soaked in the blood pool for many years, and all the blood is melted into it, making it into an evil magic weapon. In addition, the Yin Qi stone laid under the coffin can nourish the refined corpse.

Zhang Shiping performed the imperial object technique, but he didn't even push the coffin cover. He took out a giant power talisman from the storage bag and slapped it on himself. A force filled his body. He grabbed the edge of the coffin cover with both hands and lifted it up. There was a loud noise when the coffin lid fell to the ground, and Zhang Shiping immediately jumped away.

The refining corpse inside did not jump out. This kind of corpse refining is like a wild beast in the early stage, without much wisdom. If it breaks free from the shackles, it will definitely jump out immediately.If he knew how to strategize and think, he would at least be a silver-armored corpse comparable to Jindan.

Rumor has it that there are also golden armored corpses with spiritual intelligence just like ordinary people.The cultivator who manipulated the corpse would not just watch the corpse give birth to wisdom, break free from his control, or even eat himself back.

They would re-sacrifice the refined corpse every once in a while. If the bone in the cave was left by a Jindan cultivator, then Zhang Shiping would never open the coffin rashly.

Zhang Shiping stepped forward to look inside the coffin. On the blood-red inner wall of the coffin lay a tall corpse, with a purple talisman stuck to its black and wrinkled face, its eyes were tightly closed, and its two long fangs protruded from its lips. , wearing white linen clothes, ten jet-black fingers glowing the color of gold and iron, and white and black hairs intertwined on his body.

It seems that this is already a corpse that is about to become a black zombie, Zhang Shiping is very excited, anyway, this corpse was refined by someone else, he picked up a ready-made one.

According to the record in the exercises, Zhang Shiping bit his middle finger, and dripped a few drops of blood into the corpse's mouth. With his hands and fingers fluttering, he played out twelve corpse control formulas and practiced them. After one night, Zhang Shiping could feel himself Can initially control this refining corpse.
