For the immortal cultivators who have been active in the Black Cloud Swamp all year round, they have long been accustomed to such harsh thunderstorms with rolling thunder.
At this time, most immortal cultivators will try to avoid flying into the air to avoid being bombarded by thunder.
Not to mention the flying monsters that live in the water and swamps. If these big guys dare to take off, the chance of being struck by lightning is much greater than that of the immortal cultivators.
Some experienced immortal cultivators will even seize this opportunity and take the opportunity to take a magical treasure ship to enter and exit the water, looking for and hunting those monsters hiding in their lairs to avoid lightning.
However, for people like Zhou Yang who have lived in a desert oasis with little rain and thunder since childhood, this kind of heavy rain and thunderstorm days is a bit unaccustomed to him.
He was not that afraid of the thunder in the sky. In fact, in order to refine treasures such as "Secret Thunder Beads", some Zifu period monks would even take the initiative to fly into the sky to attract thunder in such weather.
Take the opportunity to collect the power of thunder and refine treasures with special magic weapons.
What he was worried about was Xu Song, the ghost servant.
At this time, more than two months had passed since he and his Taoist companion Xiao Ying came to Black Cloud Swamp.
More than two months ago, after they arrived at Black Cloud Swamp, under Xu Song's guidance, they quickly found the "Three Yin Jedi" that had been sealed hundreds of years ago.
Fortunately, because the time difference is not too long, the sealing formation has not expired yet.
And because it has been sealed, the Yin Qi accumulated in this "Three Yin Jedi" is extremely strong, which is very suitable for Xu Song to condense the ghost elixir.
According to Xu Song's original estimation, he would need at least a year of practice to accumulate enough mana to condense the ghost elixir.
However, thanks to the abundant Yin Qi in this "Three Yin Jedi", this time has been shortened a lot, and it only takes about three to five months to succeed.
This should have been a great thing, but now seeing the thunderous scene, Zhou Yang felt a layer of worry.
You must know that the sky thunder can destroy evil. Xu Song is a ghost cultivator. Once he condenses the ghost elixir, a sky thunder will come down to test him.
In the current environment of Black Cloud Swamp, if the day Xu Song formed the pill was also a thunderstorm day with rolling thunder, it is very likely that in addition to the testing thunder dropped by the heaven, it would also attract other thunder.
The bombardment of thunder.
Once that happens, Xu Song's original plan of forming a pill, which is almost certain, will have countless variables added to it.
Of course Zhou Yang didn't want this to happen.
"No one else can step in to resist the thunder that is brought down by the test of heaven, nor can anyone else intervene to resist it."
"It's just a thunder that was attracted by Yin Qi. If I help to resist it, nothing will happen to me!"
A gloomy look flashed in his eyes, and his body moved, but he sank into the water.
The "Three Yin Jedi" is located in an underwater cave over a hundred feet deep. Zhou Yang and Xiao Ying have built a temporary cave dwelling outside the underwater cave using water-proof formations to live in these days.
And because the "Lingxi Jade Pendant" they wear has an automatic water-avoiding effect, they save a lot of effort when entering and exiting the water. (There is a bug here. The Lingxi Jade Pendant has a communication and positioning function. When Zhou Yang returned to Xianyang City,
In fact, you can use Yupei Communication to locate Xiao Ying’s location. I forgot about it at the time, and it’s hard to change it now, so don’t mind!)
At this time, Zhou Yang entered the temporary cave under the water and saw Xiao Ying holding the demon core he had obtained from killing the tree demon and absorbing the Yimu essence to practice magical powers.
After Xiao Ying has practiced the "Qinghua Dueru Sutra" and reached the Zifu stage, she can practice the two magical powers of "Qinghua Dueran Immortal Light" and "Qinghuaduo Divine Needle".
Among them, "Qinghua Immortal Light for Fighting Disasters" is a magical power that can heal injuries and save people. Once it is cultivated, the effect of saving people and healing injuries is stronger than many fourth-level elixirs. It can also remove hundreds of poisons, eliminate disasters, and is extremely powerful.
.
The "Qinghua Divine Needle" can be used to treat illnesses and save people, and cure some stubborn diseases. It also has a fairly strong attack power, which can often produce some unexpected effects.
Xiao Ying is currently absorbing the Yimu essence in the tree demon's demon core and practicing the "Qinghua Fairy Light" magical power in order to master this magical power as soon as possible.
Without disturbing the Taoist monk's practice, Zhou Yang took a look at Xiao Ying's condition, sat cross-legged on the other side, and silently meditated on the second advanced sword formation in the "Dayan Sword Art" - the Twelve Yuan Chen Sword Formation.
.
There are five advanced sword formations in "Dayan Sword Art", namely the Ten Directions Extinction Sword Formation, the Twelve Yuan Chen Sword Formation, the Eight Desolate Liuhe Sword Formation, the Nine Heavens Returning to the Origin Sword Formation, and the Nine Nine Returning to One Sword Formation.
These five types of advanced sword formations can be practiced by monks at the Zifu stage.
However, from Zhou Yang's point of view, unless he deliberately slows down the time of condensing the golden elixir and devotes himself to studying these sword formations for hundreds of years, it is impossible to master all these sword formations within the cultivation level of Zifu.
But how could he do such a putting the cart before the horse?
Mana cultivation is the foundation of an immortal cultivator, and the rest, whether it is magical powers, sword secrets, or the art of refining weapons and making talismans, is secondary.
As long as your practice is not delayed, it is okay to allocate some time to study these secondary things. But if you put the cart before the horse and give up your practice to study these secondary things exclusively, then it is a lack of distinction.
Of course Zhou Yang would not do such a thing.
He is now studying the "Twelve Yuan Chen Sword Formation" only because he has mastered the "Ten Directions Extinction Sword Formation" and the current environment is not suitable for meditation practice.
After more than half a month passed quietly like this, Xu Song, who had been hiding in the "Three Yin Jedi" to meditate and form pills, finally made some noise.
Hoo ho ho!
On this day, Zhou Yang was pondering how to use the sword formation when he suddenly heard a gust of wind.
For a moment, he was stunned.
You must know that he is currently under a hundred feet of water. Where does the news come from in a place like this?
But as soon as this idea came to his mind, the look on his face changed, and he suddenly understood something.
I saw a flash of golden-red light in his eyes, and he immediately used the "Lihuo Golden Eyes" magical path to look at the underwater cave not far away.
Under the vision of the "Lihuo Golden Eyes", Zhou Yang saw the gloomy wind formed by the clouds of gloomy energy pouring out from the underwater cave and blowing away in all directions.
Wherever this wind passes, whether it is fish, shrimp or aquatic plants in the water, as long as it is blown by the wind, they will die and wither immediately.
This is the wind of death!
Any creature without magical protection blown by this evil wind will have its life harvested.
Zhou Yang looked at this scene and couldn't help but murmur to himself: "The Yin Feng has cleared the scene. It seems that Xu Song has begun to form pills. I hope everything goes smoothly!"
When immortal cultivators form elixirs, they will have celestial phenomena. Ghosts who practice elixirs will naturally have their own special celestial phenomena.
The sinister wind that Zhou Yang saw just now was a celestial phenomenon caused by the ghost cultivating the elixir.
The vitality and soul of any creature that is wiped out by the evil wind will be absorbed by the ghost cultivator who is forming the elixir, and will be used as the material for the elixir.
Fortunately, the place where Xu Song formed the pill was a desolate place like Black Cloud Swamp. If it were in a city where mortals gathered, just the dark wind just now could harvest the entire city in just a few dozen breaths.
the soul of man.
In order to increase the success rate of forming elixirs, monks of the devil path would sometimes sneak into the vicinity of mortal cities where evil places exist and form elixirs there.
Then, with the help of the wind of death caused by the celestial phenomenon of forming pills, he harvested and sacrificed an entire city of mortals to pave the way for his own pill formation.
It is said that if there are millions of mortals as sacrifices, the success rate of demon monks in forming elixirs can be increased by at least 50%!
However, the demon monks who dared to sacrifice millions of mortals have not appeared for many years.
The world of immortal cultivators has always pursued and killed such crazy demonic cultivators at all costs, and the Nascent Soul stage monks would personally participate in the pursuit.
There are countless bloody examples of demonic predecessors, but no matter how bold the demonic monks are today, they would not dare to do such outrageous things.
The vision of the dark wind clearing the place ended not long after. Zhou Yang, who was close, could clearly feel a gloomy and evil force brewing and birthing in the underwater cave.
With the "Qianyang Treasure Body" in his body, he was naturally repelled by such gloomy and evil forces. Seeing this, he had to walk out of the temporary cave and retreat to the water outside.
Similarly, Xiao Ying, who practiced the vigorous technique of "Qing Hua Du Er Sutra", also instinctively disliked the death and evil power of ghost monks, so she quickly followed Zhou Yang to the water.
.
"Zhou Lang, if others find out about your trapping of ghost servants, I'm afraid there will be big trouble!"
Above the water, Xiao Ying followed Zhou Yang and stood still on the flying boat. She looked at the Taoist monk beside her with a pair of beautiful eyes full of worry and sighed softly.
Ever since she learned about the fact that Zhou Yang kept Xu Song, a ghost servant, in captivity, she had been quite unhappy.
The three branches of the demonic path, the blood demon path, the ghost demon path, and the corpse demon path, are each more evil than the last.
Although the blood demon monks practice blood-sucking, they are still human beings and living beings.
However, ghost cultivators, especially ghost cultivators like Xu Song, are no longer even living beings.
In particular, ghost cultivators manipulate souls, use the souls of living beings to refine magic weapons, and devour the souls of living beings to increase their cultivation. This is most disgusting to orthodox cultivators who generally believe in the theory of reincarnation.
For immortal cultivators, if death is inevitable, they at least still have the possibility of retaining the reincarnation of their true souls.
But if you die at the hands of ghost cultivators and ghost monks, reincarnation will be impossible.
Under such circumstances, how can immortal cultivators not hate ghost cultivators?
If Xiao Ying had not loved Zhou Yang deeply, I believe Zhou Yang would have persuaded him to clean up his family as soon as he learned of Xu Song's existence.
Instead of waiting until I saw with my own eyes the killings caused by the "Yin Feng Clearing" vision, I couldn't help but give advice.
"Ying'er, you believe in my husband. I promise you that if Xu Song dares to kill an innocent person indiscriminately in the future, my husband will definitely kill him personally!"
Zhou Yang stretched out his hand, pulled the Taoist companion into his arms and hugged him tightly. He lowered his head and kissed Xiao Ying's smooth, white and tender forehead and made a promise in a low voice.
Of course he understood the concerns of the Taoist companion, but to him, the value of a living Xu Song was so great that he could not give up on him easily.
Moreover, even a highly respected Nascent Soul Master like Master Qingyang would keep a magic weapon like the "Ghost Luo Banner" for repairing, and he did not think it was immoral to keep a ghost servant in captivity.
It’s not like he kept a ghost servant in captivity to kill people for him, he just wanted to use this ghost servant’s profound knowledge and life experience to his own advantage!
