They agreed to leave together, but Zhou Yang left first.
Zhao Hao, who was still on the battlefield, was naturally extremely unhappy when he saw this.
It's just that he was unhappy in his heart. Facing Li Yuan who was determined to stop him from slaughtering the dragon, he actually knew that it was impossible for him to kill the dragon today.
So he didn't say much, but after Zhou Yang left, he suddenly burst out with all his strength and slashed at Mo Jiao with several swords, directly cutting off the two claws of Mo Jiao and pocketing them, and then slashed Li Li away with one sword.
Yuan's natal magic weapon, the Golden Cauldron, sat back and watched the severely damaged Mo Jiao dive into the Long River and escape from the battlefield by water escape. Then he sneered at Li Yuan and left the battlefield with his sword.
He really wanted to leave, but Li Yuan couldn't catch up and didn't dare to.
As a result, this massive dragon-slaughter operation ended in a confusing manner.
Let’s talk about Zhou Yang. After escaping from the battlefield, he did not wait to join Zhao Hao somewhere, but fled directly to Jinyang Kingdom.
It wasn't until Zhao Hao chased him in the direction of his escape and sent a flying sword message to contact him that he met him somewhere on the escape route and then flew to Jinyang Kingdom on his auspicious clouds.
"Fellow Daoist Zhou, you are really unreasonable. You clearly agreed to leave together, so why did you abandon Zhao first?"
Above the auspicious clouds, Zhao Hao looked at Zhou Yang beside him with an unhappy expression, and directly questioned him about running away without saying hello.
However, Zhou Yang was well prepared for his accusation and immediately replied: "Senior Zhao, don't blame Zhou for leaving without saying goodbye. You also knew what happened at that time. Li Yuan didn't even propose that you send all Mo Jiao's corpses to him."
If you don't accept it, even if this junior doesn't leave, you won't have the chance to kill that ink dragon!"
"Since you don't have the chance to kill the Mo Jiao, I naturally don't have to do anything to help you stop the escaping dragon. Under the circumstances, if I don't escape first, it will hinder your retreat, senior."
Zhao Hao couldn't help but narrow his eyes when he heard what he said.
How could he not hear the hidden meaning in Zhou Yang's words? There was something in Zhou Yang's words.
He narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "The situation was urgent at that time. I can only speak out to stabilize Li Yuan first. As long as we can successfully kill the dragon, of course it is not up to him to decide how to distribute it afterwards!"
"Of course, I decided this matter without consulting you. It is indeed inappropriate. If you leave without saying goodbye, it is considered to be for a reason. I will not pursue this matter."
"But we have something to say beforehand. If we fail to kill the dragon successfully, all the harvest will have to be used to make up for my loss in purchasing the [Dragon Lure Pill]. Fellow Daoist Zhou, should you take out the dragon spiritual blood that you took away first?"
Zhou Yang naturally didn't believe what he said.
If Li Yuan had agreed to Zhao Hao's conditions at that time, it would be strange if Zhou Yang could get something when the distribution was done afterwards. At most, it would be enough for both parties to send him some spiritual stones.
If we imagine the situation to be worse, after Zhao Hao took away the most important Jiao Dan, Li Yuan didn't dare to vent his anger on Zhao Hao. Wouldn't he dare to vent his anger on him, a monk in the Zifu period?
It's just that he doesn't believe it. As a monk in the golden elixir stage, Zhao Hao is willing to put down his posture and explain it to him in person. Of course, he has to show something, otherwise it will make the other party unable to step down.
"That's it! This junior has wrongly blamed Senior Zhao for this matter. I hope senior will forgive me for my ignorance."
"As for this dragon's spiritual blood, according to the agreement, it belongs to Senior Zhao. Now I would like to ask Senior Zhao to appraise it and see how many spiritual stones this junior needs to pay to take away this dragon's spiritual blood."
Zhou Yang first bowed his hands in a bow, acknowledged his mistake and apologized, then raised his hands and handed the dragon's spiritual blood he had collected to Zhao Hao for appraisal.
Naturally, he had tampered with the total amount of dragon's spiritual blood inside, and had removed nearly 30% of it in advance.
It is true that Zhao Hao paid a huge amount to buy the "Dragon Lure Pill", but he was also in danger in order to obtain these dragon spiritual blood, and he also consumed seven or eight fourth-level low-grade spiritual talismans. Of course, he had to make up for it.
Zhao Hao was clear about this, so after seeing the amount of dragon spiritual blood he handed over, he didn't ask him if he had handed it all in. This was regarded as acquiescence to him secretly deducting some dragon spiritual blood.
"The spiritual blood produced by a fifth-level low-grade dragon has a market price of about five hundred low-grade spiritual stones and one tael. You have about eleven kilograms in this bottle, which means you have fifty-five thousand low-grade spiritual stones!"
The spiritual blood of ordinary fifth-level low-grade monsters can be purchased for 500 low-grade spiritual stones per kilogram. This shows how precious the dragon's spiritual blood is.
With the size of that ink dragon, if you could kill it and drain all the blood, you would probably be able to get hundreds of kilograms of dragon spiritual blood!
The value of these dragon spiritual blood alone is much more expensive than a fifth-level low-grade demon pill. From this, it is not difficult to understand why cultivators are so enthusiastic about slaying dragons.
For Zhou Yang, it was a good deal to be able to spend some spiritual stones to buy the dragon spiritual blood that he had always wanted.
So he happily paid for the spiritual stones and took back the dragon spiritual blood from Zhao Hao.
After handing over the spiritual stone and getting back the dragon's spiritual blood, a big stone fell from Zhou Yang's heart.
With this dragon spirit blood, he only needs to find a place to settle down and practice quietly for ten or eight years. He will definitely be able to practice the "Canglong Body Refining Technique" to the second level, thereby showing the true power of this body refining magical power.
able.
In a relaxed mood, he remembered the main purpose of going to Jinyang country this time, and couldn't help but look at Zhao Hao for advice: "Senior Zhao, after getting the dragon's spiritual blood this time, I want to find a place to practice in Jinyang country.
Time, in your opinion, where is the better place for the younger generation to practice?"
"In addition, this junior also wants to buy a piece of [Purple Heart Chalcedony] for my disciple to open up the Purple Mansion. Could you please give me some advice on where to buy this?"
The Qingyuan Sword Sect that Zhao Hao belongs to is one of the thirty-six middle sects of the Niguang League, and its strength ranks among the top three in Jinyang.
Moreover, the Qingyuan Sword Sect's ability to survive in Jinyang is of course closely related to the Haoyang Sect, the real master of Jinyang Kingdom.
It was because of this that he was not afraid of Li Yuan's threat at all, let alone Li Yuanzhen chasing him to Jinyang Kingdom to cause trouble for him.
When he heard Zhou Yang asked for advice, he thought for a while before replying: "If you just want to find a place to practice quietly, any fairy city in Jinyang has a cave suitable for your practice for rent."
"But if you want to buy [Purple Heart Chalcedony], you can only try your luck in Haoyang Fairy City. An auction will be held there every ten years. There is a high chance that this item will appear in the auction.
At some exchange meetings held by high-level monks, sometimes someone would offer this item for exchange."
Haoyang Immortal City is the largest immortal city in Jinyang Kingdom. It was established by Haoyang Sect. Zhou Yang originally wanted to go there.
He asked Zhao Hao this, not because he wanted to hear the news that everyone knew.
He frowned and said in a deep voice: "Of course I know that this object may appear at the auction, but if you want to buy [Purple Heart Chalcedony] at the auction, the price is too high. Senior Zhao, are you here?"
Jinyang has a wide network of domestic contacts. I wonder if I can issue a letter of introduction for this junior so that he can try his luck in some underground exchange meetings or high-level monk exchange meetings?"
"Can I issue a letter of introduction for you?"
Zhao Hao's eyes narrowed and he looked at Zhou Yang sharply, his eyes full of scrutiny.
Facing his scrutinizing gaze, Zhou Yang nodded calmly without panicking at all and said: "Yes, this junior is willing to use the favor that Senior Zhao promised in the past in exchange for a letter of introduction from Senior!"
Zhao Hao promised at that time that as long as he helped Li Yuan and others from Tianding Sect, he would help him take action once in the future.
However, with the failure of Tu Jiao, Zhou Yang was actually not sure at all whether Zhao Hao was still willing to abide by his original promise.
After all, the agreement at that time was strictly based on the success of Tu Jiao.
Therefore, he felt that instead of having Zhao Hao use this as an excuse to avoid helping him when he came to visit him in the future, it would be better to use this favor now in exchange for a letter of introduction from Zhao Hao.
Issuing a letter of introduction is just a piece of cake for Zhao Hao, but the cost is much easier than making a move for him.
I think that as long as the other party still has a little bit of the demeanor of a Golden Core monk, he probably won't refuse this matter.
Sure enough, when he heard him mention that favor, Zhao Hao couldn't help but have a flash of embarrassment and unnaturalness in his eyes.
He really had no intention of returning this so-called favor.
If Zhou Yang doesn't mention this matter, it won't take long for him to forget about it.
As a monk at the Golden Core stage, he has the right to default on his debt, and he also has a plausible reason for defaulting on his debt.
However, since Zhou Yang mentioned this matter now and was willing to exchange this favor for a small letter of introduction, Zhao Hao certainly had no reason to refuse his request.
He was actually not sure about Zhou Yang's origins now. In the previous battle against Tianding Sect, Zhou Yang's fighting prowess really made him look at him.
Therefore, for him, it would be a great thing if he could use a small thing to alleviate the negative consequences that may result from defaulting on a debt.
"Since you have made this request, Fellow Daoist Zhou, I naturally have no reason to refuse."
Zhao Hao nodded lightly and agreed to Zhou Yang's request. Then he turned his hand and took out a small sapphire sword and a jade slip and handed them to Zhou Yang: "This is my token. Fellow Daoist Zhou, you are here."
After settling in Haoyang Immortal City, you can use this token to go to the Qingyuan Pavilion in the city to find the shopkeeper there, and he will help you arrange the procedures for entering the underground exchange meeting and some high-level monk exchange meetings!"
"Thank you, senior."
Zhou Yang put away the token and thanked him sincerely.
With this token in hand, after he arrived in Haoyang Immortal City, he no longer had to spend hard work thinking about how to join the local high-level monk circle. This would at least save him several years of hard work.
Next, under the leadership of Zhao Hao, Zhou Yang passed through the Dayun Kingdom and entered the Jinyang Kingdom in just one day.
After arriving at the territory of Jinyang Kingdom, Zhao Hao put Zhou Yang down and returned to the sect first.
Zhou Yang, on the other hand, activated the guiding function of the "Lingxi Jade Pendant" and guided the Taoist couple Xiao Ying and niece Zhou Guangxiang, who were still traveling in Dayun Kingdom, to come and join them in the direction where they were.
After waiting like this for two days, Zhou Yang successfully reunited with Taoist companion Xiao Ying, and then the three of them traveled all the way to Fangshi Fairy City in Jinyang, and finally arrived at the destination of their trip - Haoyang Fairy City half a year later.
As one of the few large-scale fairy cities in the Niguang League, Haoyang Fairy City is indeed no less prosperous than those fairy cities that Zhou Yang once visited in the Liuyun Continent.
This fairy city is built in a valley surrounded by mountains. In the fairy city, a series of spiritual mountain blessed places suitable for the practice of monks of various martial arts have been built in accordance with local conditions.
For example, the cave suitable for the practice of water-based monks is located on an island in the center of a lake in the fairy city. The abundant water-based spiritual energy there has a great bonus for water-based monks below the Golden Core stage.
The cave suitable for cultivators of wood-based skills is located in a primitive jungle that stretches for tens of thousands of acres. The trees, vines, shrubs and other plants in the jungle are all low-level spiritual plants that contain spiritual energy.
They may not be of much use in refining alchemy and refining weapons, but they can absorb all kinds of spiritual energy and transform it into the Yimu spiritual energy needed for the practice of wood-based Kung Fu monks, and they can even be used to collect Yimu essence.
The rest of the places suitable for monks of gold-based skills, fire-based skills, and earth-based skills can be found in Haoyang Immortal City.
The unique cultivation environment of Haoyang Immortal City has made many high-level casual cultivators from the surrounding countries and even the top leaders of some cultivating families willing to travel thousands of miles to rent caves here to practice in seclusion.
Naturally, this results in a very high price for a good cave here, which is hard to find.
When Zhou Yang was in Xianyang City, with the "Xuanyang Order" given by Master Qingyang, he could enjoy various preferential treatment and give priority to the good caves for renting.
But in Haoyang Immortal City, he has no connections at all and can only choose from the remaining caves like ordinary monks.
In the end, after picking and choosing, he only chose a fourth-level cave in the "Ten Thousand Woods Spiritual Land" for Taoist companion Xiao Ying, while he chose an ordinary fourth-level cave for himself.
It is also a fourth-level cave, and the cave in the "Ten Thousand Woods Spiritual Land" has an annual rent of up to 4,000 low-grade spiritual stones, and there is only one practice room available in the cave.
As for the ordinary fourth-level cave that Zhou Yang rented, the annual rent was only 2,800 low-grade spiritual stones. There were also various alchemy rooms and complete weapon refining rooms in the cave.
Despite this, caves in spiritual spiritual places such as "Ten Thousand Woods Spiritual Land" are often in short supply, and you have to queue up to buy them.
After selecting the cave, Zhou Yang was not in a hurry to practice the "Canglong Body Refining Technique" in seclusion. Instead, he first went to Qingyuan Pavilion, the store property of Qingyuan Sword Sect in Haoyang Fairy City, and used the token given by Zhao Hao to visit.
After checking with the store manager, he explained his intention to participate in the underground exchange meeting and high-level monk exchange meeting in Haoyang Immortal City.
With Zhao Hao's token, the shopkeeper of Qingyuan Pavilion was very easy to talk to. He agreed on the spot that as long as there were underground exchange meetings and high-level monk exchange meetings in the city, he would be notified to participate, and he would also help him pay attention to the "Purple Heart Jade".
marrow" news.
In this way, Zhou Yang returned to the cave with satisfaction and practiced the "Canglong Body Refining Technique" in seclusion.
