Zhou Yang and Xu Song had been waiting in the underground ruins for a month, but there was no news of the death of the wolf-shaped demon soul.
No news means good news.
Therefore, Zhou Yang did not want to wait here any longer, so he said goodbye to Xu Song: "Since the demon soul is fine, senior, please continue to study the teleportation array. I will take my leave first."
After saying that, he left the underground ruins directly and returned to Rhinoceros Continent.
After returning to Rhinoceros Continent, Zhou Yang was not in a hurry to go into seclusion. Instead, he spent time inspecting the various spiritual mountains in the oasis to make sure he knew what he was doing.
During this inspection, he also made a special trip to see the spiritual beasts raised by the Zhou family on Rhinoceros Island.
At the Black Nitan Ranch, he saw the armored rhinoceros, green-spotted deer, white-tailed black sheep, and flaming horse raised by the Zhou family.
Among these four spiritual beasts, the armored rhinoceros is undoubtedly the most powerful. When this kind of spiritual beast reaches adulthood, it has a great chance of being promoted to the third level and can be used as a war beast.
However, due to the special environment of the boundless sand sea, war beasts like the Armored Rhinoceros can only be used to defend or attack oasis. In the sand sea, its effectiveness will be greatly reduced.
Therefore, the Zhou family did not raise too many of these spiritual beasts, and only tamed seven of them, large and small.
Although these two spiritual beasts, such as the green-spotted deer and the white-tailed black sheep, are only second-level spiritual beasts, whether it is venison, antler, deer blood, mutton, goat milk, or wool, they are all spiritual beasts with great economic value.
It is an animal that is very worthy of domestication on a large scale.
Among them, the antler of the blue-spotted deer and the tail hair of the white-tailed black sheep are important materials for alchemy and a good choice for talisman pens. They can both become a family's main specialty like the silk spun by the flame-eating spider.
Spiritual things.
As for the Fire Horse, this second-level spirit beast not only has good combat power, but also has a huge load-bearing capacity. It can still walk like flying even with a load of three thousand kilograms on its back, and can travel thousands of miles a day.
Rhinoceros Continent is a very large oasis. From the easternmost point to the westernmost point, even if the Qi-training monks have the help of lightening spells, including the time spent resting on the way to replenish their mana and physical strength, they will not be able to complete the run in less than seven or eight days.
The whole process.
Although the Shatuo Beast is good at walking on sand, when running on flat ground, its speed is slightly faster than an ordinary horse, which is not of much help to monks during the Qi training period.
The appearance of the flaming horse helped the monks during the Qi training period to solve problems while traveling long distances.
This kind of spirit beast can run thousands of miles in a day. It only takes a little more than a day to run from the easternmost point of Rhinoceros Continent to the westernmost point, which greatly solves the problem of traveling during the Qi training period for monks.
At the same time, this kind of spiritual beast also has certain combat effectiveness. It can spit flame arrows with power equivalent to second-level mid-level spells to attack enemies, and can be used as a battle pet.
The Zhou family currently has 34 domesticated blue-spotted deer, 45 white-tailed black sheep, and 27 flaming horses, all of which are relatively small.
Given the vastness of the Rhinoceros Continent, after the Zhou family has eliminated most other types of monsters in the oasis, there is no problem at all in raising thousands of second-level spirit beasts on this land.
There is great potential for large-scale breeding of spiritual animals.
Next, Zhou Yang went to visit the lake where the wolfmouth fish was raised.
There are several large lakes on the Rhinoceros Continent. The large lake where the Wolf Mouth Fish lives is the second largest lake. The water area is as big as a small oasis. The clear lake water originates from an underground spring at the bottom of the lake, and the underground spring leads directly to the underground darkness.
river.
Those wolf-mouthed fish swim into the big lake from underground rivers.
The foundation-building monks of the Zhou family once discovered the aura of the third-order water demon while exploring the underground river.
Now, in order to prevent third-level water monsters from entering the large lake from the underground river to prey on the wolf-mouthed fish, Zhou Guangxiang personally went to the bottom of the water and set up a third-level mid-level water magic circle at the entrance of the underground spring, blocking the way for the monsters to enter the big lake.
, and also blocked the way for the wolf-mouthed fish to escape back to the underground river.
The Zhou family's so-called domestication of the wolf-mouthed fish is actually to arrange for some people to regularly feed some monster meat and spiritual grains in the lake so that the wolf-mouthed fish can eat enough and spawn and reproduce as soon as possible.
When the number of fish reaches a certain level, the monks in the foundation-building stage will personally use specially refined fishing nets to catch them.
This primitive method of domestication is surprisingly useful due to the unique geographical environment of the Boundless Sand Sea Cultivation World.
When Zhou Yang was inspecting the lake, he couldn't help but catch a fish to eat. The result made him very satisfied. The delicious fish taste really made him have endless aftertaste after not eating fish for a long time.
After this inspection of Xijiao Continent, Zhou Yang returned to Lingxi Peak and began to practice spells and swordsmanship.
After the elixir was exhausted, he knew that unless he obtained a large number of elixirs that could further improve his cultivation, he would not be able to make any major progress in his cultivation in a short period of time.
In a few years, he will use the large-scale teleportation array to explore the area where the Great Light Celestial Palace is located, so before setting off, he will naturally focus on improving his combat effectiveness.
Since he currently has no shortage of magic weapons and talismans for fighting, if Zhou Yang wants to improve his combat effectiveness, he can only start with magical powers and swordsmanship.
After his cultivation reached the later stage of Zifu, he could already practice and use some extremely powerful fourth-level high-grade spells.
Although he is learning these spells now, without decades of hard training, he is basically unable to use them in actual battles that are constantly changing.
But sometimes, such as when attacking formations and some fixed targets, these spells can still play their due role, so it is necessary to learn and master them.
I have learned some other auxiliary spells, which can come in handy sometimes when encountering problems.
Of course, it was the sword art "Dayan Sword Art" that Zhou Yang really worked hard on.
As Zhou Yang's cultivation level became higher and higher, and his knowledge became wider and wider, his evaluation of this sword art also became higher and higher.
If he were to evaluate it, if this sword art could complete the next three levels, it would definitely be a top inheritance worth as much as the top skills.
Unfortunately, these top inheritances all have one thing in common, that is, they have very high requirements for qualifications and understanding.
Zhou Yang's spiritual consciousness is naturally powerful, which allowed him to be invincible and make rapid progress in the early stages of practicing "Dayan Sword Art".
But later on, when it comes to learning those advanced sword formations, the advantage of spiritual consciousness is not as important as the understanding of swordsmanship.
Zhou Yang's swordsmanship talent cannot be said to be bad, but it is only above the average level. Maybe it is not a problem to learn ordinary sword techniques, but when it comes to learning the advanced sword formations in "Dayan Sword Technique", it is very difficult.
Yes, it takes a lot of effort to gain anything.
It is precisely because he felt this that he focused his main energy on improving his cultivation over the years.
Because for immortal cultivators, many magical powers and secrets that are difficult to comprehend at your original level of cultivation will be greatly reduced in difficulty once your level of cultivation reaches a higher level.
Zhou Yang is now using his cultivation in the later stages of Zifu to practice the subsequent advanced sword formations in the sword art, and it is indeed much smoother than when he was in the early stages of Zifu.
So in the next three years, Zhou Yang spent almost 80% of his time on sword art practice.
After practicing wholeheartedly for three years, Zhou Yang had a great understanding of the third sword formation among the five advanced sword formations in the "Dayan Sword Art", the "Bahuang Liuhe Demon Slaying Sword Formation".
Success is not far away.
As the name suggests, this "Bahuang Liuhe Demon-Slaying Sword Formation" is a sword formation specially created to target large-sized monsters. Once Zhou Yang learns this sword formation, he will be able to deal with those large-sized monsters with ease in the future.
many.
However, in order to set up this "Bahuang Liuhe Demon-Slaying Sword Formation", it is necessary to use sixteen flying swords to set up the formation at the same time. In other words, if Zhou Yang wants to make this sword formation truly effective, he has to do more
Find materials to refine four "Dayan Divine Light Swords".
With Zhou Yang and the Zhou family's current status, it would not be difficult for him to find these materials, not to mention the most important material among them, "Lihuo Fine Gold", he knew where to mine it.
However, just as Zhou Yang ordered, people spread the news that he was willing to exchange fourth-level spiritual talismans and magic weapons for "Taiyi Fine Gold" and other sword-making materials, and was preparing to go to the place where he had discovered "Pure Killing Qinglian" again.
"Fire" in the underground abyss of fire, a flying sword for signaling for help flew into his hand.
The message Feijian was sent by was his eldest disciple Lu Xuewei, and it said something particularly important.
After Zhou Yang received the message of Feijian, he quickly rode the golden-winged thunder eagle and galloped towards Lu Xuewei's location without daring to stop for a moment.
More than an hour later, he saw the pretty and pale-faced Lu Xuewei in a sea of sand.
"You are injured, so you don't need to do these common rituals. Take this healing elixir first."
Zhou Yang waved his hand to stop Lu Xuewei from wanting to pay homage, and a bottle of healing elixir was thrown out by him.
The healing elixirs that Zhou Yang could carry with him were of course not ordinary ones, at least they were the third-order high-grade elixirs.
After Lu Xuewei took the elixir, she felt much better after practicing some exercises.
At this time, she didn't need Zhou Yang to press her, and directly explained the reason for asking for help in concise and clear words.
"Two days ago, when my disciple was looking for an oasis, he suddenly felt a huge spiritual power fluctuation in the distance. Out of curiosity, he went over to check it out. Without thinking, he saw a huge [Earth Dragon Earthworm] crossing the sky.
!”
"The thunder tribulation that day was extremely dangerous. In the end, [Earth Dragon Earthworm] failed to complete the bloodline sublimation. It failed to advance to the fifth level monster and fell under the thunder tribulation, leaving behind some corpses that were not destroyed by the thunder tribulation."
"At that time, my disciple wanted to pick up the corpse, but he never thought that there was a fourth-order monster beast and several third-order monster beasts around him that were attracted by the thunder tribulation wave. As a result, before the disciple could pick up the corpse, he
Encountered the siege of these monsters."
"Thanks to the many life-saving talismans given by Master, this disciple was able to withstand the first wave of violent attacks and used the blood escape technique in time to escape the scene!"
