longevity road trip

Zhang Shiping manipulated this corpse, and he could obviously feel that the blood of the corpse was blocked, and the joints were stiff, and he couldn't easily turn the joints like ordinary people, but it was better than the body was hard, the hands were straight, and the black fingers easily stayed on the mountain wall. Under many small holes.

He stimulated the yin energy in the corpse, and it emitted thick black smoke all over its body. The eyes that were closed before suddenly opened, with cat-like pupils and streaks of blood in the white of the eyes.

Zhang Shiping propped up a shield of spiritual power to control the refining corpse. When the nails of the refining corpse entwined with black silk smoke touched the shield of spiritual power, they made a sizzling sound, constantly consuming Zhang Shiping's mana, The speed is not slow, Zhang Shiping has a general understanding of the corpse refining attack.

Then Zhang Shiping threw out the willow leaf knife vigorously, and shot at the corpse's head, face, body, limbs, etc., but only left white spots on it. Touching the corpse, Zhang Shiping was very satisfied, and he also felt the same. Under the strength, the willow-leaf knife can sink into the wood by its roots.

Zhang Shiping took out a black cloak from the storage bag and put it on, put the corpse into the coffin again, and put it in the body bag.The cloak is for his own use. The corpse is tall and doesn't fit well, and the cloak can only cover its calves. Anyway, the corpse won't feel cold, so it just makes do with it.

After a few hours, Zhang Shiping stood on the top of a small hill, watching three disciples dressed as Xuanhuo sect from a distance, chasing after two people in front, one of them was Zhengyang sect in black clothes like Zhang Shiping The disciples from the outer sect, and a disciple from the family in Tsing Yi, flew over the sky, turned around and flew towards the distance.

Seeing the disciples of the Zongmen and the monks of the family together, Zhang Shiping guessed that these two people should belong to the same family, just like the disciples of the outer sect of Zhang Shiping's Zhengyang Sect and the monks of the Zhang family of Baiyuan Mountain.In the Zhang family, Zhang Shiping's aptitude is not the best, there are a few people like him, he chooses to join the sect, and some people choose to stay in the family.

The Zhang family wants to fully support several qi training monks who are expected to build a foundation. The pressure is a bit high, so someone has to go out.

Zhang Shiping immediately used Qi Containing Technique to hide under the tree, and completely collected his breath. He didn't want the three Xuanhuomen disciples to find him, so he waited for these people to disappear before coming out.He looked coldly at the direction in which several people disappeared, and immediately chose a different direction to leave. In order to avoid encountering them again, as for the outer disciple of the Zhengyang Sect, he had never seen it before, and he was not familiar with it, so naturally he would not lose his mind. Hot catch up.

On the top of the mountain, besides searching for several elixir plants about 70 years old, Zhang Shiping also saw an extremely tall second-order spirit tree, Qinghunmu, with blue-green leaves and dark green bark, which is a kind of tranquilizing pill. The elixir was too big, so Zhang Shiping could only use Luo Junjian to cut off a section of Zhang Xu's branch.

Zhang Shiping wanted to cut off a section and go back, but he didn't know if he could transplant a spirit tree after he went out and returned to the family.

Of course, this piece of spiritual wood cannot directly become a second-order spiritual wood after it grows up. It needs to be cultivated, and it may take hundreds of years to grow from a small tree to a big tree, absorbing spiritual power, and then transform into a second-order spiritual wood.

The heritage of a family is slowly accumulated.

Zhang Shiping searched on the top of the mountain for a while, but he didn't find any more expensive elixir, so he turned around and went down the mountain. It was a tall forest.

Under the tall forest, there are more than a dozen trees around here and there, looking at the broken parts of the trees, there are two sections that are extremely smooth, and they were cross-cut by sharp weapons or wind blades, and several trees fell down because they were burnt.

There was another person lying there, it should be half of it, Zhang Shiping saw from a distance that only the lower body of that person was there, and there was a storage bag at the waist, and the upper body was missing.

Zhang Shiping saw the storage bag at a glance. It seemed that someone had suffered another murder. He didn't go there. The obvious trap could only be used to deceive some newcomers who had just entered the world of cultivating immortals. He carefully exited Gao Shulin.

It seems that as the one-month deadline is getting closer, many monks have already attracted the attention of others.He hasn't picked the expected target yet.

If he couldn't find enough elixir this time, and couldn't gather enough elixir points, then after going out, with his own cultivation speed with the help of the bronze lamp, he could polish his mana to the completion of the Qi training period in one or two years.

When the time comes, do you have to restrain your cultivation, resist building a foundation, or fight to the death.

Although there are actually many kinds of elixir or exercises in the outside world, which are also helpful for foundation establishment, but most of them are not as effective as foundation establishment pills, and they are not so easy to obtain.The Foundation Establishment Pill is the one he has the best chance of getting now.

If you are walking on thin ice like this, and you don't have particularly good luck after a month, then the harvest will be the same.

A gleam flashed in Zhang Shiping's eyes, he thought about it, and then said "um", it's not okay to be afraid of tigers and wolves, but you can't be reckless, you have to look for opportunities.

After Zhang Shiping left Gao Shulin, he went all the way down and thought a lot.

After Zhang Shiping left, under a big tree near the half of Gao Shulin's corpse, a middle-aged man of medium build took off his cloak and hat, and walked out slowly. In the case of , it becomes black.

A small bird with gray feathers and red beak flapped and landed on the man's finger, chirping. The man in gray took out a handful of beans rich in spiritual energy and fed it, then looked at Zhang Shiping's walking direction with a sullen face.I don't know what the man in the cloak was thinking.

"Let's go," said the cloaked man.

"I said earlier that this is a waste of time." Less than a foot away from the half of the corpse, a short man full of mud emerged from the soil, with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, and a high-pitched voice.

The cloaked man shook his head, "Someone just came, so I have to give it a try."

He had just learned about Zhang Shiping from the sparrow he had let out to explore the way earlier.The two of them happened to agree on a general direction in advance when they both entered the secret realm. The two released the sparrow, and it took almost ten days to gather together. too small.

The short man grabbed the storage bag from the half of the corpse and threw a fireball onto the half of the corpse. There was a smell of meat, and after a while, there was a smell of burning, which turned into coke.

On this side, Zhang Shiping made up his mind, the imperial weapon was flying high in the sky, and he flew towards the area closer to the central part.

Either stick to the ground here, or just rise a little higher.If you fly close to the crown of the tree, it is too easy to be attacked by monks hiding in the tree.

Zhang Shiping sacrificed the thick-soil purple-gold shield, picked a place with a wide view and landed it, his divine sense swept it in all directions, there was no problem.He put away the thick-soiled purple gold shield, and cast a restraining qi technique to restrain his breath.

Only then did he search for it nearby, collected some elixir, and hunted down several mid- and low-rank monsters of the first rank.It's just that Zhang Shiping couldn't help but feel a little anxious because he couldn't find more expensive medicinal materials.

If you miss this time, you have to wait another 15 years.These ten years are very short for Jindan Nascent Soul cultivator, but for Zhang Shiping, a young man in his early twenties, it is really too long.

Perhaps because of luck, Zhang Shiping was basically collecting medicinal materials for decades, and there were very few medicinal materials for hundreds of years. This is completely different from what he at least thought when he came into the secret realm. It looks like a thousand-year-old panacea.

However, it wasn't until the last fifth day that Zhang Shiping finally found one of the three main herbs recorded in the Zhuji Dandan formula, called Yangmai Ginseng, which grew under a strange cliff.

Originally, Zhang Shiping wanted to ambush here, but besides a few dwarf trees, there were weeds that were not as high as Zhang Shiping's calf, so he felt that it was too unsafe to stay in such a place.

Ten birds in the forest are worse than one bird in the hand.

The hundreds of years of Yangmai Ginseng already has a bit of spirituality, Zhang Shiping set up a small formation around the Yangmai Ginseng, surrounded it with red strings, took out a delicate jade shovel and brush, spent half a day It took only a few days to dig up the whole root of this pulse-nourishing ginseng.

There are green leaves and small green flowers on it. The Yangmai ginseng is mixed in the weeds, and you can't really see it if you are not careful.Zhang Shiping looked at the reed head of Yangmai Ginseng, which has forked branches at the bottom, and its overall appearance resembles a human head, hands, feet and limbs.

Zhang Shiping put it away carefully, and then turned his head to look over there. There was a tall man with black fingers forcibly inserted into a black-clothed monk.

Chapter 38 Senior Brother Cen and the Elixir

That man was dressed in black, and he was a disciple of the Zhengyang Sect with Zhang Shiping. Zhang Shiping had met him a few times when he was listening to the sermon, and he was called Brother Cen by others. With a smiling face, he had also talked to Zhang Shiping before, but he didn't want the two to meet again in such a situation.

This brother Cen's mana is comparable to that of Zhang Shiping. When Zhang Shiping was digging for the ginseng, he bypassed Zhang Shiping and released the patrolling corpse. He almost succeeded in a sneak attack. The attack, and then the Vajra Talisman hidden in his bosom, inspired by his mana, narrowly and dangerously blocked that senior brother Cen's short spear.

Zhang Shiping didn't care about the injured internal organs, spit out a mouthful of bruises, in his hands, the thick soil purple gold shield, Luo Jun sword, and other magic weapons were sacrificed, the two fought fiercely for a while, but both of them consciously avoided Nourishing pulse ginseng.

In the end, it was Zhang Shiping who controlled the refining corpse, attacking back and forth, the refining corpse was not afraid of life and death, and had no pain, even if this senior brother Cen threw seven or eight fireball talismans on the refining corpse, burning his clothes and even the white hair on his body However, the refining corpse is still entangled with him.

This Senior Brother Cen left seven or eight holes in the refining corpse with a short spear, but whenever the short spear was about to smash the refining corpse's head, the corpse refining arm blocked it, and it took a lot of effort. The corpse had several bone-piercing wounds and bruised and blackened flesh, which Senior Brother Cen couldn't solve for a while.

The lunging, thrusting, grasping, and biting of the corpse were either separated by short spears, or blocked by masonry artifacts.

When Senior Brother Cen was in a stalemate with Corpse Refining.

Zhang Shiping took the opportunity to take out a few first-level talismans, which turned into fireballs, wind blades and ice cones, and flew towards Senior Brother Cen, then took out a second-level talisman, muttering something, and a talisman in his hand, sending out violent fluctuations.In front of Zhang Shiping, a giant bird with flames spreading its wings appeared within a few breaths.

Brother Cen, who was already entangled by the refining corpse, looked at it and roared angrily. The masonry magic weapon emitted a yellow aura, blocking the first-level talisman spell. Qi can't erode the yellow light shield all at once.

But that senior brother Cen couldn't care less about dealing with the cold black corpse, he recalled the short gray spear, and poured mana into the short gray spear with the length of his forearm as best he could. All back again, and then he shot the short spear at Zhang Shiping without any hesitation, the short spear tore through the air and made a short and piercing sound.

Zhang Shiping's back was cold, between the flashes of light and flint, the thick earth purple gold shield immediately burst into light, the shield seemed to be a little thicker, the short spear broke through the shield, there was still power, nailed it on the thick earth purple gold shield, senior brother Cen grabbed it Zhang Shiping was in the neutral position when he used the second-order talisman, and if he repelled it, he also interrupted the second-order talisman.

After being repelled, the refining corpse howled like a beast, and rushed forward again.Zhang Shiping just cast the second-level fire bird talisman, but was interrupted by this brother Cen, because it was because of the talisman, Zhang Shiping only lost some mana, and it would not cause the mana to backfire.

With such a powerful blow, Brother Cen's mana was consumed violently, and the corpse that pounced on him spewed out cloud after cloud of black air, continuously wearing down the shield on Brother Cen's body, and the shield became thinner.

Senior Brother Cen had an ugly expression on his face. Just as he was about to take out a new Vajra Talisman from the storage bag, a long sword flew from behind him and broke through the shield.

This tall refined corpse inserted ten black long fingers into his chest, crushing most of the internal organs.

Zhang Shiping controlled Luo Junjian again, with a sword stalking his head, he sighed, people don't hurt the tiger's will, tigers hurt people's hearts.Afterwards, Zhang Shiping suddenly showed a wry smile, what qualifications did he have to judge others, even he thought about doing this, but he hadn't had time to implement it, and he was not much better.

"Isn't it good for everyone to live in peace, don't you think so?" Zhang Shiping collected the Yangmai Ginseng, touched that senior brother Cen's whole body, took off the storage bag, and found a few on him. Those that can be used in time, such as wind blade fireball and other talismans.

Zhang Shiping burned this Senior Brother Cen with a fire, then released his spiritual consciousness to scan the surroundings, then used the lightness technique to pick a direction, and left this place quickly.

Although everyone lives and dies in the secret realm, but after all, they belong to the same sect, if he kills Senior Brother Cen himself, it will be bad reputation if others see and spread it.

When it was safe and no one was there, Zhang Shiping took out the short spear from his storage bag, the spear body was gray, the spear tip was black, and it was a first-grade high-grade magic weapon, and its power was not small. , touched the small hole nailed by the short spear, and a few cracks beside it, his heart ached for a while, and he needed a large sum of spiritual stones to repair it.

There is also that khaki brick magic weapon, which can become bigger and fly to refine corpses, and can also emit yellow light to protect itself. It is a magic weapon that can be attacked and defended, but it is a pity that the grade is not high. First-order mid-range.Zhang Shiping reckoned that if the blacksmith of this magic weapon didn't pursue both offense and defense, focusing on attack or defense, with the material of this brick magic weapon, it might not be impossible to forge a first-grade top-grade magic weapon.

Zhang Shiping was not interested in looking at the remaining bottles and cans, they were nothing more than some pills.He turned his gaze to the jade boxes one by one, there were more than a dozen of them, and six of them had yellow talismans on them.

Zhang Shiping flicked his sleeves, and brushed off the yellow talismans on the three boxes. Among them, three boxes contained a total of ten elixir plants less than a hundred years old, and the remaining three boxes each contained a glowing red flower fruit, a topaz-colored bamboo shoot, and a sapphire tree more than 200 years old.

These three are not the elixir for refining the foundation pill, but as long as the elixir is old enough, they can be exchanged for the foundation pill, plus the nourishing ginseng and some elixir in his hand, it is almost complete Two elixir points of the Foundation Establishment Pill.Among them, the Nourishing Ginseng can already be exchanged for a Foundation Establishment Pill.

A furnace of Zhuji Pill needs three main medicines of more than 500 years old, plus a 200-year-old auxiliary medicine. The alchemist adds different quantities and quantities of auxiliary medicines according to the age and properties of the main medicine. This is very particular about the alchemist. eyesight.In the hands of an experienced third-tier alchemist, a pill of medicinal materials usually has eighteen to twenty-four pills.

One tree of nourishing ginseng is exchanged for one foundation building pill, and the Zongmen has made a lot of money.But Zhang Shiping had no choice, the price of the Foundation Establishment Pill was already like this, even if he sold it privately, it would still be around this price.

After all, the Foundation Establishment Pills within the scope of the three factions come from them, and they set the price.

In order to ensure the success rate, they are basically refined by Nascent Soul monks.Like the Zhengyang sect, if the Yuanying patriarch really couldn't get away, he would let the Jindan cultivator who was good at alchemy make a move.For the foundation building pill, which is a second-tier high-grade pill, it can be seen that the three factions attach great importance to it.

As for the rest of the Jindan family, if the relationship with the sect is not so good, the Jindan monks usually choose to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill by themselves, otherwise they will be slaughtered by the Zongmen, and the number of Foundation Establishment Pills they get will be reduced by a few percent. .

With enough elixir to exchange for Jidan, Zhang Shiping instantly threw away all his previous thoughts.For the current results, Zhang Shiping was naturally overjoyed, even the heartache that his thick earth and purple gold shield was damaged was gone.

This thick soil purple gold shield is not completely damaged, just go to the shop to repair it, and spend a little Lingshi.

But Zhang Shiping thought that before he came to the secret realm, he had inquired with some old people who had entered the secret realm.Gathering elixir in the early stage requires luck, but returning to the teleportation array requires strength even more, because there are many monks who think they have high mana and possess good magic weapons, ambush halfway.

The place where the teleportation array is located is surrounded by three mountains, and there are three long and narrow passages.Here, the Yuanying ancestors of the three sects arranged formations of the same level as the mountain protection formations, in order to protect the teleportation formations inside from being destroyed by monsters in the secret realm.

It is said that they arranged it, but in fact, this formation is based on the ancient monk's formation. The three Nascent Soul monks have studied it for decades, found out a little bit, and rejuvenated part of its power.The air ban that comes with it, let alone the monks in the qi training period cannot fly, even the flying monsters in the foundation establishment period cannot go to the sky here.

If you don't go through the three passages, you have to go over the mountains, and there may be people ambushing, but it is less than the passage. Zhang Shiping flew in the direction of the teleportation formation for a while, and after three days, when he was about to reach outside the range of the formation, he Stopped, plunged into the mountain, carefully, took a step to look at it, and touched it.

Chapter 39 Green Flying Insects

Zhang Shiping was careful all the way, climbed several low hills, crossed several canyons, stayed nearby until the last day, and then he stepped into one of the three mountains in the southeast direction.

As soon as he entered the restricted area of ​​the formation, Zhang Shiping suddenly felt his body sank, and the flow of his mana slowed down a bit. No wonder even the monks who established the foundation could not vacate.

The air ban covering the three mountains is after all the handiwork of the ancient monks. Even if only a part of the formation remains with the passage of time, it is more powerful than some places in Zhengyangzong where the air ban formation is arranged. Much bigger.

I don't know if the surrounding trees are a little shorter and thicker than other places because of the air-blocking formation.For example, the disciples of the Zhengyang Zongmen also arranged a forbidden space array on Taoist Mountain, so there is no such situation.

There was doubt in Zhang Shiping's eyes, but he didn't have time to think whether it was the formation problem or the three mountains themselves.On the last day, there might be more danger here than before. I heard that half of the dead monks were in this place, so he was naturally more careful.

……

In the middle surrounded by the three mountains is a small basin, but in the middle stands a square stone platform with a length, width and height of [-] feet, with irregular protrusions on all sides. Even martial arts masters in the world can use this to climb up, not to mention these hundreds of Qi training monks.

I don't know if it's because of the formation, the surface of this stone platform is not covered with grass, and within ten feet around the stone platform, there is no weeds taller than thighs, forming a formation with the ten-foot-high shrubs and thatch that can hide people ten feet away. Obvious contrast.

In the four directions on the stone platform, there are twelve Foundation Establishment cultivators in each direction, they are the cultivators jointly sent by the three sects and the Jindan family, each of them is less than ten feet away from each other, sitting cross-legged, standing, Look ahead.

Encountered in the wild, maybe these foundation-building cultivators will be beaten to death for elixir or enmity, but now, there are Jindan cultivators besides the teleportation formation, and no one dares to make trouble. Honestly perform their duties.

Not far from the high platform, there are disciples of Zhengyang Sect in black, disciples of Xuanhuo Sect in red, disciples of Qiyun Sect in yellow, and family monks in various clothes. Many of them are performing invisibility and restraining energy. , hidden, but from the perspective of the monk who established the foundation on the stone platform, the original shape was revealed, and the movements were extremely funny at first glance.

Some of the monks wanted to ignite the entire bush and dense grass, but when the fire reached it, only a small part was ignited, and it returned to its original state in a blink of an eye.

Of course, there are still many monks who have entered within ten feet of the stone platform, formed a group, and are fighting, completely abandoning their disguise, not as careful as before, and fighting with real swords and guns.

Many family monks consciously joined forces when they were only one step away from successfully bringing out the elixir, and the disciples of the three sects could no longer fight each other under the eyes of their own foundation-building monks, and instead cooperated.

Looking around the stone platform, many qi training monks were fighting together. These foundation building monks did not move, even if the qi training monks of their own sect or family were beheaded by others, they would not be moved.

There was a cultivator from the Qingpao family, whose face was ashen-faced and ashen-faced by a disciple of the Xuanhuo Sect in red. Even the beautiful beard that had been maintained had been scorched and was of different lengths. On the way, he was attacked and beheaded by another disciple of Yunzong in Huangyi Banner. Two pieces of corpses fell from the sky. The monk in yellow beckoned and took the storage bag at the waist of the green robe, and then he quickly climbed up the stone platform. The disciple was a middle-aged man who threw out the magic weapon angrily, turned into a white light, and went behind the disciple of Qiyun Sect.

The Qiyun Sect disciple in yellow passed the Foundation Establishment cultivator on the edge of the high platform, and the white light following behind was easily blocked by the Foundation Establishment cultivator of Qiyun Sect, showing its original appearance, a white ball the size of an egg.

The foundation-building cultivator of Qiyun Sect threw the ball to the nearest cultivator of Xuanhuomen, and the middle-aged cultivator of Xuanhuomen saw that his magic weapon had been detained, and immediately went to the stone platform, facing the person holding his magic weapon. The cultivator who established the foundation respectfully said: "My junior Li Wencai pays his respects to Master Uncle."

"Let's get out of the battle." The foundation builder said, throwing the white ball to the middle-aged monk.

And the monk in the yellow clothes at the Qi training stage had already stepped into the teleportation array emitting white light, and he disappeared all of a sudden, and teleported outside, the white-clothed Jindan female cultivator of Banner Cloud Sect saw a woman wearing the logo of Banner Cloud Sect The yellow-clothed monk fell out of the formation, and immediately waved to bring him over, and the foundation-building monk next to him immediately went to catch him.

Looking at the twenty yellow-clothed disciples who had come out just behind her, she smiled at Yan Yan, and said to the other two: "Friend Daoist Yun, Fellow Daoist Ouyang, twenty disciples of my Banner Cloud Sect have already come out."

Yun Qi leaned on a bare wooden stick and turned to look at the fourteen black-clothed disciples behind him, "Oh, those little boys in the sect don't understand me, an old man, and don't ask you to be more aggressive, just come out sooner in peace gone."

A bottle of elixir flew out of Yunqi's storage bag, and landed in the hands of the female cultivator in white.

"There are so many disciples of the noble sect who came out so early, I, a disciple of Xuanhuomen, really feel ashamed, haha." The burly, red-faced man laughed loudly, and also took out a bottle of elixir for the female cultivator in white.

"Thank you two fellow Taoists for donating the medicine." The white-clothed female cultivator of Qi Yunzong took the two bottles of pills and thanked the two, as if she didn't hear the ridicule in their words.

The monks of the Jindan family lacked interest, and no one participated in the bet between the three. The Foundation Establishment monks present were not qualified, so they pretended not to hear or see anything, and kept silent.

While Jindan monks were betting to kill time, Zhang Shiping spent half a day on the other side. He had just crossed half a mountain, but he stopped halfway to look at the scorched land under his feet. The ash-blackened land was not big. , there were several cokes of different lengths in the middle, Zhang Shiping didn't even need to touch them, he knew at a glance that these were some bones that had not been completely burnt to ashes.

Zhang Shiping took out the thick soil purple gold shield from the storage bag and held it in his left hand.

The surrounding area is empty, only a few dwarf trees surrounded by three or four people, the leaves are not so dense, it can't hide people at all.Only some insects are attached to the bark, sucking the sap with long needle-like mouthparts.

Zhang Shiping scanned with his spiritual sense, but found nothing special. He frowned, stared at the surrounding land, and slowly squatted down.

Zhang Shiping touched the ground, the ashes were cold, it seemed that the person who set the fire had been gone for a while, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and then his brows furrowed with vigilance unfolded.

Only then did Zhang Shiping leave, heading towards the stone platform where the teleportation array was located.When he left, there were a dozen or so green bugs with barbed feet, which were eating the leaves. As soon as Zhang Shiping left, they flew away in groups.

These green insects are just ordinary flying insects, without any aura on their bodies, but these inconspicuous little insects are watching under Zhang Shiping's nose, Zhang Shiping never thought about it.

Not far ahead, there was a green-clothed monk sitting on a tree. Zhang Shiping happened to walk in the same direction as that person, but at a slightly different angle.

Those dozen or so green flying insects flew towards the green-clothed monk and attached to his clothes. Looking closely, the green-clothed monk turned out to be bustling with green flying insects.

Because the green flying insects are just ordinary mortal insects, the information brought by them is incomplete. The monk in green carefully analyzed the information brought by the green flying insects. After a while, he turned to the direction Zhang Shiping was walking.He calculated the time of the teleportation formation in his mind, he didn't bother Zhang Shiping, he also rushed to Shitai as quickly as Zhang Shiping.

Zhang Shiping doesn't know how to control beasts and repel insects. He didn't realize that the restriction here doesn't work on creatures without aura, otherwise he would be more careful.
