The fifth day of April.

Cultivation progress +330, fifth level of elixir formation 5010/10,000;

Third-level Spring Water Sutra +3300, Grandmaster 49,500/240,000;

Black Turtle Bearing Monument True Skill +3300, Grandmaster 37,800/240,000.

After finishing this routine retreat and sorting out the results of this practice, Meng Zhou just opened his eyes and saw a body that was as flexible and swimming as a snake falling from the dome above slowly and quickly.

Meng Zhou's heart moved, and he stretched out his palm. The long body that was swimming flexibly in the air shrank and turned into a coiled rope, lying quietly in Meng Zhou's palm.

"Uncle, I'm back." Yaya's voice sounded directly in Meng Zhou's heart.

Looking at Yaya at this moment, Meng Zhouyi looked surprised:

"Yaya, have you really found the right spiritual material?"

Yaya replied with a slightly arrogant voice: "Otherwise? Do you think I was joking?"

As she spoke, her voice paused, and then she said:

"Uncle, you saw that I didn't lie. You can't restrain me anymore."

After hearing this, Meng Zhou did not agree, but he also did not refuse outright. Instead, he thought about it carefully and then said:

"I have a few conditions."

"Say it!" Yaya said impatiently.

"First, no matter what the circumstances, you can only operate underground." Meng Zhou said.

"Okay." Yaya replied immediately, as if she was afraid that he would regret it.

"Attention, I am talking about any situation, even if there is a spiritual material that is very suitable for you on the surface of the earth, you cannot violate it!"

This time, Yaya did not answer immediately. She seemed to hesitate for a while, and then said firmly: "Okay, I agree."

"Second, you can only move within a hundred miles of Aurora Cave."

With that said, without waiting for Yaya to answer, Meng Zhou emphasized:

"A hundred miles is a hundred miles, not even one more mile."

This time, Yaya did not hesitate anymore and nodded: "I agree."

"Third, if there are third-level demons or alchemy monks operating nearby, you must return immediately no matter what the situation is."

"Can...is there any more?"

"No, just these three."

After reaching the agreement, Meng Zhou could clearly feel the joy in Yaya's heart.

I don't know whether it was Yaya's change in mentality or the objective result of her improvement in rope body level. Meng Zhou had an obvious feeling in his heart that the knotting technique he was studying became much smoother.

"Perhaps, both factors are at play."

With this thought in his mind, Meng Zhou couldn't help but thought to himself: "It seems that Yaya will indeed have to be given more freedom of movement in the future."

When Yaya was promoted from the second-level breakthrough to the third-level level, because of Meng Zhou's preparation, Yaya's level directly reached the level of the third-level low-level and close to the middle-level.

"Rope Spirit Level 3 3000/10,000"

But this is not Yaya's limit.

Not to mention that she had swallowed a large amount of the ownerless divine will taken from the statue of Lihen, and she originally had higher growth potential.

Even if this factor is put aside, the upper limit of the growth of "Rope Spirit" is strongly related to his "Rope Knot Master" level.

Theoretically, Yaya's growth is unlimited until she reaches the level of a knot master.

The reason why she stayed at the lower level of the third level without progressing was simply because of insufficient qualifications.

The materials she needs to grow at the third level are third-level spiritual materials belonging to the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth.

Compared with the second level where the recipes only included wood and earth elements, this promotion has more than doubled the range of her recipes.

Not only that, she also has the ability to find "food" within a certain range, that is, five elements of spiritual materials.

It stands to reason that with these abilities, Yaya can already be "self-reliant".

In a third-level evil environment like Tianqi Mountain, it is like living in a rice barn, and growth is a matter of course.

The reason why there has been no progress so far is that Meng Zhou thinks the same way.

"Since Yaya's growth after the third level is so easy, there is no rush. It doesn't matter if it's earlier or later. It's not too late to finish the most important plan first and then think about it later."

"Let's wait until the beast tide is over. After the beast tide is over, take some time to do this."

When Meng Zhou thought about it, this was a very logical arrangement.

There is actually a premise implicit in this, that is, even though Yaya has gained the ability to act independently and "forage" alone, Meng Zhou has never thought of letting her act alone.

What he was thinking in his mind was that when Yaya was wandering around the Tianqi Mountains with her newly acquired abilities, "looking for food" everywhere, he must always follow her.

That's what he thought, but Yaya quit.

At the second level, she had already held it back so hard, now again?

So, whenever she had the chance, she would think about it in Meng Zhou's heart.

It's mumbling, it's promising, it's pleading.

Finally, Meng Zhou was persuaded by her before this retreat and allowed her to move within a certain range.

Of course, Meng Zhou, who agreed to Yaya's request, did not really let it go, but after many attempts, he had confirmed that even if he was in a state of deep concentration and retreat, he could still sense it through his natal connection.

Yaya's status.

This was the real reason why he was convinced by Yaya.

However, what surprised Meng Zhou was that Yaya gave him a surprise during his first outing.

When he returned, he had quietly completed his transformation from the third-order low-grade to the third-order mid-grade.

Increased from "Third Level 3000/10,000" to "4000/10,000".

From this progress, you can imagine how much she gained in just four and a half days.

However, from another perspective -

"This Tianqi Mountain is really an unexplored treasure house."

After negotiating with Yaya, Meng Zhou had a thought in his mind, and a five-yun spirit gourd warmly nourished in his dantian appeared in front of him.

Then, a line of blood flew out from Meng Zhou's heart.

There were no wounds, and the blood seemed to seep directly from under the skin, continuously.

After a while, Meng Zhou stopped extracting the essence and blood from his heart until his condition reached a certain critical point, and the Five Yun Spiritual Gourd returned to his Dantian.

In the dantian, five five-yun spirit gourds are being warmed and nourished.

The Five Yun Spiritual Gourd itself is an excellent treasure for warming and nourishing various spiritual materials and spiritual objects.

Although it is slow, over time, it will bring positive improvements to the spiritual materials stored in it.

Since the individual strength of the golden armored spirit insects have all reached the third-level mid-level level, and their number has been expanded to 5,000, the blood essence and blood that had been stored for nearly ten years have been consumed.

Meng Zhou also stopped feeding.

He once again began to reserve the essence and blood in his heart for a long time.

Those swarms of golden beetles that consumed a huge amount of their heart essence and blood in a short period of time deliberately kept them in a state of hunger and thirst.

After practice, Meng Zhou found that this was the most reasonable way.

On the one hand, the essence and blood in the heart are not wasted, and positive gains will be obtained under the continuous nourishment of the Five Yun Spirit Gourd.

On the other hand, this rhythmic "relaxation and relaxation" of being full and hungry for a while is most beneficial to the growth of the insect swarm.

Moreover, just like gathering momentum, the more hungry the beetles become, the stronger the ferocity and aggression of the golden beetle swarm, as well as the ultimate desire to devour and grow deep in their bloodline.

Of course, the premise is not to starve to death.

However, the golden-armored spirit insects whose individual strengths have all reached the third-level mid-level starved to death?

Normal people would not have such worries.

…

Through the Ice Heart Blood Lotus clone who stayed in the Sanchuan Plain, Meng Zhou had been paying attention to the general changes in the Qingxuan Territory while practicing quietly.

Through the information reported from the Changle Chamber of Commerce and Pharmacist Branch, as well as the news shared by other professional branches.

There are also information submitted by the Sanchuan Society, the Blue Blood Army, Qiandao Lake, Wucailing and other forces.

While Meng Zhou clearly grasped the changes in the entire situation, he also had a special feeling in his heart.

The entire Qingxuan Domain cultivation world is like wrought iron being placed on the chopping block, and the frenzy of monsters throughout the entire outer ring area is like a giant hammer being smashed and beaten violently.

It is a ravage, but it is also a process of constant forging and refining.

Since the Qingxuan Sect relaxed its restrictions on the entire Qingxuan Territory more than ten years ago, and even actively supported it, the power of the Qingxuan Territory's cultivation world has expanded unprecedentedly.
