longevity road trip

But the surrounding area of ​​Green Bamboo Valley seemed much cleaner. Zhang Shiping in the courtyard of the valley was sitting on a futon, holding a light blue spar the size of a baby's fist.

The spar contains an extremely strong wind attribute aura, more than ordinary mid-grade wind attribute spirit stones, but far inferior to top-grade wind attribute spirit stones.Zhang Shiping's eyes became even more smiling when he saw that there were faint traces of golden light in those spar stones.

"This spar is indeed Geng Feng Jin, what's your name?" Zhang Shiping looked at the young man standing behind a middle-aged man in black, and asked loudly.

The middle-aged man in black was one of the foundation-building monks of the Zhang family, named Zhang Hengli, and the young man was his eldest grandson, Zhang Tianwen.

"Back to Patriarch, his name is Tianwen." The young man was a little restrained, and Zhang Hengli quickly responded for him.

"Okay, you don't have to be nervous. Come closer, kid, can you tell me how you found out that this spar is Gengfengjin?" Zhang Shiping waved his hand to let Zhang Hengli go aside, and said to the kid behind him.

"Tianwen pays homage to the ancestor. I found this Gengfeng Jinshi a few days ago when I followed my grandfather to the store to collect spirit stones. I read the Gengfeng Jinshi in a book, so I can recognize it." Zhang Tianwen faced Zhang Shiping saluted again, and then quickly explained the matter in a few or two sentences.

It's good that the Gengfeng Jinshi appears alone, although the golden light inside is very weak, but the monks have keen five senses, and they can still find the mystery in it.

However, if the Gengfeng Jinshi is placed together with other spiritual objects, the light inside will be completely restrained, and even a Jindan real person like Zhang Shiping cannot distinguish it.

Zhang Shiping didn't intend to go into the details of what kind of means the juniors of the family have, so they can recognize Geng Feng Jinshi at a glance.

"It's always good to read more books. This Golden Stone of Gengfeng is very good. Do you want to cultivate the pill spirit stone, or do you want to exchange it for the foundation building pill?" Zhang Shiping said to his grandfather and grandson with a smile.

"Zhu Ji Dan." After hearing Zhang Shiping's words, the young man couldn't hold back his temper and said hastily.

His voice was a little louder, and he hurriedly lowered his head after he finished speaking.His grandfather Zhang Tianli apparently agreed with him.

This Gengfeng Jinshi is a kind of spiritual stone that Zhang Shiping needs to practice the second level of "Baoxie Dharma Eye", but such a small piece is not enough.

After a while, Zhang Hengli stood up and resigned, and left Cuizhu Valley with Zhang Tianwen.

After he sent Zhang Tianwen to Chongling Mountain, he set off to hunt sea beasts in the South China Sea.

The flames of war on the Canggu Ocean are still there. The Golden Core monks in Nanzhou usually sit on various islands together, and the Foundation Establishment monks team up to set up various small magic circles to hunt and kill sea beasts and monsters.

The human race covets the fur, scales, claws, flesh and bones of the sea beast monsters, and they want to eat those human monks alive.

However, because of the narrow and long battle line in the inner sea, the number of human monks scattered seems to be a little less. There are always some islands that are attacked by sea beasts and monsters, and the monks on them are eaten up, but these beasts are surrounded by human monks afterwards. When they went ashore and were weak, they were all strangled.

The two sides kept seeing each other, and some second-order sea beasts broke through the defense line of the outer island chain and entered the inner sea.

Some Foundation Establishment cultivators who are not deep enough are here to hunt lonely sea beasts and monsters, just like Zhang Shiping did when he first came to the South China Sea.

Several Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Zhang family were also here, hunting together with the clansmen, and the Zhang family shop naturally took the opportunity to open several shops there to purchase the sea animal materials obtained by casual cultivators, as well as the materials they collected. There are many spiritual grasses and spiritual things.

This is also due to the relationship with Zhang Shiping, the ancestor of Jindan, and the giant Xuanyuanzong, otherwise the Zhang family would not be qualified to share the war dividends here.

Every time the Foundation Establishment cultivators and the Sea Clan sea beasts suffered countless deaths and injuries, the high-level cultivators on both sides gained the most, followed by the Jindan family like the Zhang family.Those casual cultivators fought with their lives, but it was others who succeeded.

Unless these rogue cultivators have their own skills and leave things to dispose of by themselves, forge them into magic tools, make pills, or make them into talismans, array utensils, etc., otherwise they can only choose to sell them at a low price .

The Zhang family made a lot of profits from this battle, but because Zhang Shiping reached the middle stage of Jindan, the spiritual stones and spiritual objects needed for practice increased greatly, so the family's savings did not increase much.

And because after Zhang Shiping's alchemy was in the middle stage, in addition to meditating and practicing to accumulate mana, he also needed some spiritual objects to practice exercises.

The Zhang family can only collect a small part of the relatively rare spiritual objects. That is because some low-level monks accidentally obtained them. It was sold to a family shop like the Zhang family.

There are very few good things like this, but as long as there is one or two, it will make the shopkeepers of the Zhang family happy for a long time, because this is also counted in their merits.

The remaining spiritual objects are either in the Red Moon Tower, Xuanyuan Pagoda and other places, or are treasured by other Jindan and Yuanying monks.

Spiritual objects in Hongyue Tower and Xuanyuan Pagoda are too expensive, and Zhang Shiping can't afford to buy them with spiritual stones all the time.And those Jindan Daoist friends have extremely sharp eyesight, and it is really too difficult to take advantage of them.

After Zhang Hengli's grandpa and grandson left, Zhang Shiping chose a place, and set up a "spiritual cultivation formation" less than half a foot in radius, and put a lot of wind and metal spirit stones, and then put the Geng Feng Jinshi is put in and cultivated.

After dealing with this trivial matter, Zhang Shiping rushed to the Qinghuo Valley where Qi Feng was located, to teach Zheng Hengyun who was practicing there.

Chapter 439

If Zheng Hengyun had been worshiped in a sacred sect like Xuanyuan Sect since he was a child, and became an inner disciple or even a true disciple, then he would definitely not be in this situation now, but without Zhang Shiping's guidance, Zheng Hengyun would not have the opportunity to embark on the road of cultivation.

Everything in this world has its own definite number.It is useless to think too much about what has already happened.People are like this, even if you do it a thousand times, you will still feel regretful and not consummate!

It's just that Zhang Shiping can only do his best now. Fortunately, the Yan Lingen that Zheng Hengyun conceives is a mutant spiritual root after the fusion of fire, earth, and spirit roots. He is a monk with three spiritual roots of fire, earth, and wood.Although the aptitudes of the two people's spiritual roots are vastly different, they ultimately lead to the same goal in terms of the principles of practice. With Zhang Shiping's mid-stage Golden Core cultivation base, it is enough to teach Zheng Hengyun, a foundation-builder monk.

As usual, about two hours later, after Zhang Shiping resolved Zheng Hengyun's doubts about his practice in the past few months, he left the Green Fire Valley.It's just that he didn't visit Qi Feng this time, because Qi Feng had left Qinghuo Valley a few months ago and went to Xuanyuan Secret Realm to practice in seclusion.

After Zhang Shiping came out of the Green Fire Valley, he went to the nearby Jin's shop and bought a batch of blood of the great goblin, as well as a large number of spirit bones of sea beasts and monsters.In fact, Zhang's shop also collects these sea beast monster materials in normal times, but most of them are first-level, and there are not many second-level ones, which are far from enough for Zhang Shiping, so every time he passes, he has to go to Jin I bought the last batch at home, and it was just enough.

The person in charge of the Jin family store was changed to Hai Dafu decades ago, but the name has not changed, and the old name is still used. After all, it is a time-honored brand with hundreds of years, and many old customers recognize it.

The Jin family's monster material business is very good, and there are shops in many squares and cities in Binhai City, and Hai Dafu doesn't need to keep an eye on the chores in the business.

Since this fellow Haidao took over the Jin family's monster business, his cultivation has improved rapidly, but his temperament has changed a thousand miles all of a sudden. Over the years, he has become very low-key and rarely walks with others.Zhang Shiping only met him twice. The most recent one was at a large auction in Hongyue Tower eight years ago. At that time, he was already in the middle stage of alchemy, and his mana aura was extremely stable. It didn't look like he had just broken through. look.

The two nodded when they met, and didn't talk much, so Zhang Shiping naturally wouldn't get close to him. Therefore, Zhang Shiping has only had some business contacts with this person over the years, and they are not friends if they are acquainted.

There were three storage bags full of things that Zhang Shiping needed, and the old shopkeeper of the Jin family shop, who established the foundation, sent him out of the door with a smile on his face.As soon as he returned to the valley, he first went to the insect room where the second-level phantom locusts were kept in captivity. According to the blood contract method mentioned in the method of controlling insects, he once again forced a drop of his own blood to drop into the magic circle.

The blood essence of the Jindan monk was bright red and extremely thick, like lead and mercury. As soon as it dripped into the formation, it dispersed, and a thick blood mist rose from the entire worm room.

After the 78 second-order phantom locusts inside felt the familiar blood mist, dense red runes also appeared on their red bodies. They kept flapping their wings and making buzzing sounds, which were noisy and ear-piercing.

Zhang Shiping had a deep understanding of this for a long time, he ignored these and watched quietly.The blood mist was quickly absorbed by these phantom locusts.He felt the extremely close connection between himself and these phantom locusts, and a smile appeared on his face.Every half year or so, he would sacrifice a drop of blood to continuously strengthen the blood bond between him and these phantom locusts.

Under such maintenance, even if one or two of these phantom locusts break through to the third or even fourth level in the future, their life and death will still depend on Zhang Shiping's whim.

He stayed for a while, and then threw many spiritual bones into it. Seeing these dozens of phantom locusts eating the spiritual bones like tofu, he nodded with satisfaction.

Then he threw the two storage bags containing the spirit bones to the black-clothed Foundation Establishment servant behind him, and returned to the meditation room.

After the black-clothed servant took the storage bag, he quietly withdrew.After so many years, the rotten aura of this person became more and more obvious, and it seemed that the end was near.It's just that Zhang Shiping doesn't care about this person's death, he just needs to replace him after he dies.

What he is planning in his heart now is to wait for more of these phantom locusts, about a hundred or so, then he can use the method of raising Gu, and see if he can cultivate an insect king with the potential to advance to the golden core Come.

Zhang Shiping's approach is the same as most Jindan insect cultivators, relying on quality rather than quantity.

In fact, this is also a helpless move. If the insect cultivator can sacrifice the sky full of spirit insects of the same level as himself, relying on the power of the insect swarm, he will be able to run amok.

After returning to the quiet room, Zhang Shiping took out the bronze lamp from the white jade belt and put it beside him, and took out another gray storage bag from it. With a thought, the storage bag opened wide, and a burst of brilliance was spit out. Twenty bottles of the same shape , but the colors of the bottles are divided into red, blue, yellow, purple, blue, etc., which are placed in front of him in order.

These jade bottles are all three inches six in height, and the body of the bottle is engraved with densely packed runes, each of which is as thin as a hair, and they are connected to each other.It's just that this magic circle looks complicated, but it's actually just a simple spiritual cultivation circle, which can make the spirituality of the great goblin's blood contained in the bottle not dissipate in a short time.

The neck of the bottle is engraved with the names of various monsters such as Silverback Turtle, Green Fire Roar, Biyou Bird, Fire Crow... for distinguishing them.

The blood of the big goblin is naturally for the purpose of recreating the magical power of fire in the blood of the big goblin through the "Jing Linghua Yuanshu", and is used to cultivate black flames to make it even more powerful.Over the years, Zhang Shiping has invested no less than 300 million spirit stones intermittently for this fire.

In the beginning, his black flame's predecessor was just a silver flame, but because of a coincidence, a trace of Bi Fang Qinghuo was incorporated into it, and it formed this appearance.

He consulted many records, and the silver flame is a kind of cold fire, which has the miraculous effect of burning souls, while Bi Fang Qinghuo is a fire in wood, which has the ability to drive away ghosts.After the fusion of the two, Black Flame does not have that obvious coldness, nor does it have the exuberant vitality of fire in wood, instead it gives the human race a sense of darkness and destruction, and it has a miraculous effect on the soul.

That Ke Qing surnamed Mu was accidentally infected with black flames, and his soul was severely injured by the black flames in an instant. Zhang Shiping was able to deal with him so cleanly.It's just that now that Hei Yan is known to other fellow Taoists, with their sharp eyesight, not to mention they can see all the details, but they should be able to see five or six points, and they will definitely be on guard.

But people can't give up eating because of choking. As long as you don't stop at the same place and keep improving, what's the point if the other party knows?

Those famous Nascent Soul old monsters, which one has not gone through hundreds of battles, like the Great Elder Qinghe Great Cultivator, everyone knows the drowning technique, but under the Huashen Venerable, who dare not take it to heart? superior?

Chapter 440

Nanzhou and even Cangguyang, this mountain and sea is so vast, the sun, moon and stars stretch through the ages, and the world is so turbulent and lively.

Ordinary people who are as numerous as sand, they have started and stopped the drama of life, sang and stopped, and performed the joys and sorrows, life, old age, sickness and death emotionally in the short few decades like morning dew.Whether they were unwilling or sighed, in the end they just closed their eyes, stretched their legs, and their souls returned to the underworld.

Although this kind of life is a little less turbulent than that of monks, it has a little more truth. There are gossips in firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea, unlike monks who are full of swords and swords.

A person with a spiritual root is not only a blessing from heaven, but also a curse.

The monk embarks on a spiritual practice, chasing longevity.It's just that most of these people are in the Qi training period, their lifespan is slightly longer than ordinary people, and they have a little more means of self-protection, which is no different from ordinary people.In fact, whether it is a Qi training monk or a foundation building monk, the lifespan can range from a few decades to a maximum of two hundred years, after all, it is too short.

Only with the achievement of the golden elixir, with the eight hundred years of life, the so-called longevity, is there such a possibility.

However, during these long hundreds of years, the monks watched their relatives and friends go away one by one, all the helplessness gathered in the bottom of their hearts, and then turned into scars of varying degrees of depth or shallowness, new and old, and finally they used All kinds of masks wrap themselves up, without the truth.

In the past 200 years, time has been the most ruthless. With the passage of time, there are fewer and fewer things in this world that Zhang Shiping can think about, and he is also consciously or unconsciously avoiding those things that may become his fetters.Now, he hardly bothered about the affairs of the family, and instead put his mind on the practice.

It has been two months since I came back from the Jin’s shop, Zhang Shiping is still in the quiet room where he practiced in the valley, and he has not stepped over the threshold. Above the quiet room where he is, spiritual energy is constantly gathering, and the spiritual energy is so strong that Visible to the naked eye, green and verdant.

The magic circle arranged outside the quiet room, which was originally used to cover up the fluctuations in practice, also lost its original effect under the washing of such a majestic aura, and it was broken by the massive aura two months ago.

The magic circle outside the courtyard was set up by him during his daily practice. Zhang Shiping naturally knew that it would not be able to cover up the aura fluctuations when he was practicing "Jing Ling Hua Yuan Shu".

However, he didn't make any more arrangements, because there is still the large formation covering the entire Green Bamboo Valley, which is enough to protect his own practice and not be peeped by others when it is fully activated.

After all, it was the formation arranged by the formation master of Xuanyuan Sect. At least with Zhang Shiping's current divine sense, even if he was not afraid of disturbing the formation master, he couldn't peek into the cultivation situation of the monks inside.

In the quiet room, most of the jade bottles in front of him are now empty, only two of the bottles have not been lifted from the spirit cultivation restriction, and from the somewhat transparent body of the bottles, one can still vaguely see the big jade bottles inside. Fairy blood, just reached the bottleneck.

Among the remaining two jade bottles, the big goblin blood with 'Che Hanwu' written on the bottle. 'Che Hanyan' is cold fire, and it is also a kind of spiritual fire that can burn the soul just like 'Silver Flame'. Zhang Shiping wants to try to refine the spiritual fire that is opposite to his own skills, to see how effective it is. The power of the flame may surprise him!

Zhang Shiping looked a little tired, he took a deep breath, moved forward, a silver light flashed through it, one of the jade bottles floated in front of his chest, and the runes on the bottle slowly moved.

With a 'bang', the cork suddenly rushed up, and a gust of cold air gushed out from the mouth of the bottle, which was mixed with a hoarse cry.

The cold air was billowing, centered on the jade bottle, spreading towards all directions, and a white layer of frost was visible on the floor tiles with the naked eye.But when these frosts reached Zhang Shiping's side, they disappeared without a trace.

Three feet above his head stood a red pagoda more than five inches high, protected by a small long sword on each side.

The pagoda was on fire at the moment, and the black flames at the bottom of the pagoda surged up, completely enveloping the pagoda.And in the black fire, there is a faint phantom that looks like Bi Fang, flying around the tower body non-stop.

Zhang Shiping looked solemn, he moved forward, and a ray of bronze aura flew out and merged into the jade bottle, and then bits and pieces of dark blue blood continuously floated out from the jade bottle, congealing into the size of a fist.

He fired several spells one after another, merging into the ball of Che Hanwu's blood essence, the originally round blood ball suddenly stabbed, and the next moment the ball of Che Hanwu's blood essence exploded, turning into a light blue mist .

Zhang Shiping made two more spells without changing his expression, and the light blue mist froze instantly.He has seen this situation countless times.Originally, when performing "Ju Ling Hua Yuan Shu", Zhang Shiping was still a little flustered when he saw the blood essence explode, thinking that he had made a mistake, so he stopped immediately and carefully read the spell several times.

After a while, as expected, there was a humming sound for no reason in the quiet room, and a little spiritual light emerged from the void, attracting the blood mist, and transformed into a blue-feathered jackdaw with faint flames , but there are several thin bronze chains on its body, which are tightly bound to make it immobile.

Following Zhang Shiping's urging, the black flame turned into a curtain of fire, completely devouring it without leaving any traces.

Then at the base of the pagoda above his head, a similar appearance to Che Hanwu just now emerged, just like the simple strokes on the stone wall, its charm was depicted in a few strokes.Around this Che Hanwu, there are other monsters, densely packed.

After devouring 'Che Hanyan', Zhang Shiping sat cross-legged calmly, feeling the changes carefully.

After a long time, a tangled look appeared on Zhang Shiping's face. Sure enough, the attributes of the two clashed, and the power of the Black Flame was slightly weakened. However, in terms of manipulation, there was a little more agility. There were gains and losses, so he needed to think carefully trade-offs.

He opened his eyes and looked at the empty jade bottles, thought for a while, and stopped refining the last bottle of Che Hanwu's blood essence.He picked up the gray storage bag on the ground, casually put these sundries in, and put them into the white jade belt.

Zhang Shiping walked out of the quiet room, came to the courtyard, stretched his waist, and lay comfortably on the bamboo chair, holding a purple sand pot in one hand, sipping tea in small sips, and shaking it leisurely, just like he was in Zhengzhou back then. The days of Yangzong Biyuan Mountain.

Such a day, Zhang Shiping is very satisfied.

But two days later, three guests were welcomed in his quiet green bamboo valley.

Chapter 441

Among the visitors was a middle-aged man in his thirties in a green shirt. This man was fair-skinned, tall and thin, and looked very energetic.

"Zhang Daoyou, it's natural for Wang not to invite this time, so don't be surprised." The middle-aged man greeted Zhang Shiping with a smile when he saw Zhang Shiping walking out of the Green Bamboo Valley.

"Wang Daoyou, what are you talking about? Why are you taking the liberty? I am too happy for you to come." When Zhang Shiping saw the middle-aged man, he walked forward a few steps and said in front of the three of them. He looked at the two people behind Wang Daoxiu, one was fat and the other was thin, and they looked strange. Zhang Shiping was sure that he had never seen these two people before.

The thinner one was a middle-aged monk in black. He looked ordinary, but his temperament was a bit colder.

The other figure is quite rich, with gray temples, his eyes are slightly squinted, and there is an unstoppable smile on his face, which makes people feel a sense of intimacy unconsciously.

"Zhang has met two fellow Taoists." After greeting Wang Daoxiu, Zhang Shiping looked at the two people he had brought over, and cupped his hands.

"Zhang Daoyou, these two are Jin Datong Jin Daoyou and Mincaiquan Min Daoyou of Ming Xinzong." Wang Daoxiu stepped forward and introduced.

"It turned out to be Fellow Daoist Jin, Fellow Daoist Min, who have been admiring for a long time, come, come, please come in." Zhang Shiping said politely, and invited Wang Daoxiu and the three of them to enter the valley.

"Jin has met Zhang Daoyou."

"Min has met Zhang Daoyou."

Jin Datong and Min Caiquan responded, clasping their hands.

They came to Cuizhu Valley with Wang Daoxiu today, they had something to ask for, and it is difficult to talk about it outside the magic circle, who knows if someone is using some secret method to spy on the conversation between the few of them.

Bloodline supernatural powers, skills and secret arts, strange objects and secret weapons... Even those a few high-ranking avatar venerables dare not say that they can fully understand it.The world is so big, the higher you stand, the more you will know, and the more you will be in awe.

So the two didn't refuse, they followed Zhang Shiping and Wang Daoxiu into the valley.

After the group of them entered the valley, a silver light flickered for a while, and then the spiritual light of the formation disappeared.

Zhang Shiping flew up into the air with Yu Qi, and flew towards the valley with the three of them.

But after a short while, he brought the three of them to the bamboo forest and stone pavilion in the valley to entertain guests.Although there have been no guests in the Green Bamboo Valley for several years, because of the magic circle arranged around the pavilion, there is a layer of aura protecting it, so no bamboo leaves have fallen from the stone pavilion, and the tables and chairs inside and the tea sets on it are also Spotless.

"Please sit down, three people." Zhang Shiping invited the three people to take their seats.

After the three of them were seated, he sat down.After sitting down, he took out a beautifully carved jade box, scooped the tea leaves in the box into the teapot with a teaspoon, then took out a ruby ​​jade bottle, took off the sealed talisman on it, and poured the spiritual water in the bottle Entering, Wang Daoxiu and the three soon had cups of steaming green tea in front of them.

The spiritual water in the ruby ​​bottle was a birthday gift sent to him by his apprentice.Although this object is taken from a volcanic spring in the deep sea, the water quality is extremely light.There is not much aura contained in the water, but what is strange about it is that even after a few months, it is still boiling hot after being taken out of the spring.
