A fifth-level demon pill helped Zhang Yunpeng and Huang Shamen stabilize their hearts and foundations, and Zhou Yang's gift naturally received reciprocal rewards.
After his birthday, Zhang Yunpeng first fulfilled his promise to let him borrow the puppet art inheritance, and released all the puppet art inheritance that Huang Shamen had obtained when he destroyed the Yin Puppet Sect for Zhou Yang to read.
He even gave Zhou Yang an extra gift, a copy of the "Ice Soul Manual" which contains incomplete advanced ice-based skills that are missing the skills to practice after the Golden Elixir stage.
Zhou Yang, the master of the "Ice Soul Sutra", has also heard about it and knows that it is the most authentic Xuanmen ice technique.
Zhang Yunpeng gave this thing to him, apparently borrowing his hand to give it to Lu Xuewei, the founder of the mountain.
The value of such a high-level book on how to practice exercises after the golden elixir period is not too high is not too high, but it is not low either. It is perfect for giving as a gift.
And it’s impossible for Zhou Yang to refuse.
Among the ice-based skills he currently has, the best one is the intermediate skill. With Lu Xuewei's qualifications, practicing this kind of intermediate skill after foundation building is obviously a waste of her high-grade spiritual root qualifications.
When Zhou Guangxiang had to choose to practice a local intermediate technique after establishing his foundation, Zhou Yang was already quite distressed. Naturally, he did not want his apprentice to make the same mistake again.
Although the "Bing Soul Sutra" sent by Zhang Yunpeng lacks the crucial cultivation techniques after the Golden Elixir stage, this technique is one of the most suitable for cultivation by Ice Spirit Root monks before the Golden Elixir stage.
If Lu Xuewei can really rely on this technique to practice to the golden elixir stage in the future, she will naturally have a lot of time to find the missing parts of the technique, or find other advanced ice-type techniques to practice.
After more than a month of reading about the inheritance of puppet techniques in Huangshamen, Zhou Yang returned directly to the Zhou family and ordered the Zhou family finance hall to help him collect materials for refining third-level and fourth-level puppet beasts.
But he himself used the materials he already had on hand and began to experiment with his newly learned method of refining the puppet beast.
The inheritance of puppetry preserved by Huang Shamen records a total of twelve kinds of third-order puppet beasts and four kinds of fourth-order puppet beasts. Among them, among the third-order puppet beasts, in addition to the "Vajra War Tiger" and "Vajra War Tiger" that Zhou Yang has already mastered,
In addition to the "Fire Lion" puppet, there are also puppet beasts such as "Iron-clawed Eagle", "Black Earth Turtle", "Sharp-Clawed Leopard", and "One-Horned Giant Rhinoceros".
The four fourth-level puppet beasts are the "Steel Armor Tiger", "Giant Sword Warrior", "Ice Black Turtle", and "Thunder Explosive Ape".
Zhou Yang had obtained hundreds of third-order "Yin Soul Stones" and more than a dozen fourth-order "Yin Soul Stones" in the "Demon Sealing Cave". He already had no shortage of the most important materials for refining the puppet beast.
At this time, after obtaining the method of refining the puppet beast, he searched all his savings. In addition to collecting more than a dozen materials for refining the third-level puppet beast, he could not gather any materials for the fourth-level puppet beast.
There is no way, even though the size of the fourth-order puppet beast is much smaller than that of the third-order puppet beast, correspondingly, the fourth-order spiritual objects are not as easy to obtain as the third-order spiritual objects.
The four fourth-level puppet beast refining methods that Zhou Yang obtained from Huang Shamen require a large amount of fourth-level spiritual gold to be refined.
As for things like fourth-level spiritual gold, unless they are deliberately collected in advance, basically few monks can produce enough fourth-level spiritual gold to refine a fourth-level puppet beast.
Zhou Yang has many treasures on his body, including a lot of fourth-order spiritual gold. However, the properties of those fourth-order spiritual metals are different, and not all of them can be used to refine fourth-order puppet beasts.
On the contrary, it is third-level spiritual gold, because the Zhou family itself has many mineral veins, and he also collected a lot of spiritual gold when refining the puppet beast, and also obtained it from the trophies of enemies who died under his own hands over the years.
The quantity was quite large, and a total of fourteen pieces of materials were collected.
Unable to gather the materials for refining the fourth-level puppet beast, Zhou Yang could only use these materials to practice his skills first.
With his current weapon refining skills, it is very easy to refine the third-level puppet beast. With the fourteen materials, except for two accidentally broken, he refined a total of twelve third-level puppet beasts, three of which were...
There are three upper-level puppet beasts, five middle-level third-level puppet beasts, and four lower-level third-level puppet beasts.
Of these newly refined puppet beasts, except for the three third-level top-grade puppet beasts that were collected by Zhou Yang as family heritage and stored in the family secret treasury, the rest of the puppet beasts were thrown into the family treasury by him for use by the foundation-building monks in the clan.
Redeem for use.
Thanks to his existence as a fourth-level weapon refiner, the magical weapons used by the Zhou family's foundation-building monks can be said to be of high quality.
Now that these third-level puppet beasts are exchanged, in the future, when the Zhou family's foundation-building monks fight against enemies of the same level, as long as they are not unlucky and encounter those particularly powerful ruthless people, there is basically no possibility of losing.
Zhou Yang has long known that the Immortal Cultivator family is definitely not as good as the Immortal Cultivator sect in terms of numbers alone, so his plan for the Zhou family is to take the elite route.
If the Zhou family monks can fight one against two or one against many, then the disadvantage of being small in number will no longer be a disadvantage.
After all, if there are many people, there will be more resources to share. If there are few people, resources can be concentrated on cultivating these few people.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, four years have passed since Zhou Yang returned to his family.
After four years of getting along together, the feeling of alienation caused by Zhou Yang being away from home for many years has dissipated unknowingly.
He can now even call out the names of every adult clan member. Even though he has never met many clan members, he has read relevant records from the clan information kept in the family inheritance hall, and has some impressions.
Although this is also related to the fact that the Zhou family currently has a small number of clan members, this situation undoubtedly proves that he has indeed put a lot of effort into the family. He still loves the Zhou family deeply and loves those clan members of the same species.
On this day, a crowd gathered in the square in front of the Zhou family's ancestral temple. Three to four hundred Zhou family members, monks from the Zhou family's relatives, and monks from other places all sat cross-legged in the square, mesmerized as they listened to the eunuch at the front.
Elder Zhou Yang taught the way of spiritual practice.
This kind of preaching ceremony was organized by Zhou Yang last year. It is held at an irregular time every year. Before each holding, it will be announced to the whole clan three months in advance. By then, as long as the monks are free or want to come to listen to the lecture, they can do so in advance.
be prepared.
Zhou Yang himself or his Taoist companion Xiao Ying, whenever they happen to be free, will attend the Dharma assembly and explain their understanding of the Tao of cultivation and answer questions from some tribesmen.
If they are not available, at least one of the Zhou family's foundation-building monks will take the time to host the Dharma conference.
"Well, you said that you often feel chest tightness and irritability when meditating, and you can't calm down. Even taking [Qingxin Dan] is useless. I have never heard of this situation. Come on, you can try meditating now and let me see."
At the Dharma conference, a golden-red light appeared in Zhou Yang's eyes. He looked at the middle-aged beautiful woman in a red dress who asked the question. Suddenly, the flow of magic power in the body of this beautiful woman in a red dress who had practiced Qi at the seventh level began to change.
It was revealed in every detail in his eyes.
After staring at the beautiful woman in the red dress for a while, his eyes stayed firmly on the lower abdomen of the beautiful woman in the red dress. Then he withdrew his magical powers and looked at the beautiful woman in the red dress with a look of surprise.
He nodded and said:
"So that's it. I understand. You took the elixir indiscriminately. There are foreign fire spiritual powers remaining in the foot-shaoyin meridian and governor meridians in your abdomen. Once you meditate and absorb the spiritual energy passing through these meridians, the foreign fire energy in it will
The spiritual power will resonate with the external spiritual energy and disrupt your performance."
"It's easy to solve this problem. You go to a water-based martial arts monk and ask him to treat you with water therapy. Once a day, you can recover in half a month at most."
When the beautiful woman in the red dress heard that the problem that had troubled her for months was solved by Zhou Yang's few words, her pretty face, which was originally blushing, could not help but show a look of ecstasy.
With a look of joy and admiration on her face, she quickly stood up and knelt down on the ground and kowtowed heavily to Zhou Yang: "The Supreme Elder has no way of repaying me for saving my life. Please accept my bow."
Her family knew about her family affairs, so she didn't think it was easy to solve the matter just because Zhou Yang solved it with just a few words.
In fact, she had already asked the foundation-building monks in the clan to look at the problem before, but they could not solve the problem.
Judging from Zhou Yang's words, it is obvious that if the problem is not solved, not only will she be unable to continue practicing, but she may become obsessed with it.
So when she said it was a life-saving grace, she was absolutely right.
"You are Guang Shu's newly married daughter-in-law last month, right? No wonder you don't know the dangers involved!"
Zhou Yang looked at the beautiful woman in red dress kneeling on the ground, nodded first, then shook his head, looked at the many low-level monks with a serious face and said: "Today I will tell you juniors again, even if you
There is no hope of building a foundation in this life, so when taking elixirs to improve your cultivation, it is best to take them at least one year apart."
"Otherwise, not only will the accumulation of erysipelas make it impossible for you to build a foundation, but you may also be like Guangshu's wife and become possessed by excessive consumption of elixirs!"
In fact, what he said was mainly meant for the casual cultivators, such as the beautiful woman in the red dress, who had just joined the Zhou family, and the guest cultivators.
These people are used to living a hard life. Once they join the Zhou family, they suddenly get many elixirs that increase their cultivation. It is easy for them to lose control of the elixirs and take them excessively, ruining their own path.
Originally, as long as they stayed in the Zhou family for a period of time, they would naturally know about this kind of thing from their elders or fellow Taoists.
But people who are eager for success like the beautiful woman in the red dress are always in short supply.
After all, the various treatments of the Zhou family are closely related to their cultivation. There are many differences in status and treatment between relatives at the sixth level of Qi training and those at the seventh level.
A beautiful woman in a red dress newly married into the Zhou family, and she just happened to have the elixir to increase her cultivation. It is understandable that she is eager to improve her cultivation and break through the realm.
Therefore, Zhou Yang did not accuse her of anything, but simply used her as a negative example to once again remind and warn those younger monks who are eager for success.
After warning many younger monks in this way, Zhou Yang was about to ask if there was anyone else who needed to ask questions, when a violent roar that penetrated the clouds and mist suddenly rang out from the top of the Chihu Mountain.
At the same time, a wild and unruly majestic momentum suddenly rose from the top of Chihu Mountain.
"It's the griffin beast, it succeeded! It successfully promoted to the fourth level monster beast!"
Zhou Yang stood up with a surprised look on his face and looked towards the top of the mountain where the gryphon was sleeping, his eyes full of surprise.
