After eighteen years, Zhou Yang returned to Jinyang Kingdom, and his mood was completely different from when he first came here.
This time, there was no yearning or expectation in his heart, only worries and deep worries.
He didn't even think about going to Haoyang Fairy City. After entering Jinyang Kingdom, he directly ordered the golden-winged thunder eagle to fly towards Haoyang Mountain.
Guo Jinhong didn't know whether he sensed the location of the "Xuanguang Ring" in Zhou Yang's hand through some means, or learned his location through Qin Yue'er who was following Zhou Yang. After he rushed outside the Haoyang Zongshan Gate,
, there was a maid from Wangyou Valley waiting for him.
This maid's cultivation is only in the foundation-building stage. This kind of cultivation is inconspicuous in a large sect such as Haoyang Sect, and her status is higher than that of the lowest level monks in the Qi-training stage.
But what she represented was the face of Guo Jinhong, a monk in the Nascent Soul Stage. Therefore, with her holding Guo Jinhong's token to lead the way, Zhou Yang and Qin Yue'er arrived at Wangwang without encountering any questioning along the way.
Outside the Worry Valley, he followed her into the valley.
When entering Wangyou Valley, Zhou Yang originally wanted to ask about Wang Qian, who framed him here last time.
But after thinking about it carefully, he still resisted the urge.
Since Guo Jinhong had already settled the matter last time, it would be a bit ignorant for him to bring it up again, and it would be even worse if something went wrong.
What's more, Wang Qian is Guo Jinhong's concubine. Even if Guo Jinhong kills her, it won't be his turn as a small Zifu period monk to intervene.
In this way, he walked into Wangyou Valley without saying a word. After entering the magnificent palace in the valley, Zhou Yang saw Guo Jinhong, the Nascent Soul Stage monk, again.
When I met Guo Jinhong this time, he finally had the majesty of a Nascent Soul monk. Not only was he sitting on the jade bed, but there was no concubine around him. Sitting there, he had a majestic aura that permeated the whole place.
Main hall.
"My ancestor, my disciple Zhou Yang has been summoned to come and wait for orders."
Under the hall, Zhou Yang bowed towards Guo Jinhong who was sitting in the hall, bowed his hands and bowed deeply, his voice was respectful, and his etiquette was impeccable.
No matter how much he hates Guo Jinhong in his heart, at least on the surface he will still do his best. Not to mention how many good effects this can have, at least it will not have bad effects.
Don’t be surprised if you are polite to many people. This is a truth that applies to everyone.
Guo Jinhong didn't look at him, but looked at Qin Yue'er with twinkling eyes. After a moment, he said: "Yue'er, please step back first to look for Zhiyun. She has something to say."
Tell you."
After Qin Yue'er exited the hall, Guo Jinhong turned his attention to Zhou Yang and asked, "How long do you have until you can form elixirs?"
When Zhou Yang heard this, his heart suddenly trembled, but he quickly responded: "Ancestor Mingjian, my disciple's second attack on the golden elixir not long ago ended in failure, but I dare not make any rash judgment on this matter!"
"Hmph, it's okay for you to fool ordinary people with your words, but it's just a dream for me to fool the ancestor!"
Guo Jinhong's face darkened, and he stared at Zhou Yang with cold eyes, and said in a cold tone: "Old Ancestor, I will give you another chance. It will not hurt you to be honest!"
Zhou Yang didn't know how Guo Jinhong figured out his situation, or whether the other party was deceiving him, but he didn't dare to gamble on it.
Because if he wins the bet, there is no real benefit to him, but if he loses the bet, he will completely hate Guo Jinhong.
So he remained silent for a moment, then cupped his hands and replied: "If [Jade Liquid Golden Pill] is there to help, the disciple should be 50 to 60% sure that the pill formation will be successful."
He still had reservations. In fact, after experiencing the second pill formation, even without the help of the "Jade Liquid Golden Pill", if he formed the pill again, he only needed to use the auxiliary pill-formation treasures he already had in his hand.
This is what made me successful.
If he takes the "Yuye Golden Pill", then he is at least 80% sure of successfully forming the pill!
Of course Guo Jinhong cannot know this. In fact, the probability of success stated by Zhou Yang is already very high.
Therefore, after listening to Zhou Yang's words, his expression softened, and he nodded slightly and said: "The probability of 50% to 60% is already very high, this time you just have to do what the ancestor told me, and when you form the elixir,
, Ancestor, I can make the decision to let you form elixirs in the special cave used by my Haoyang Sect monks to form elixirs, as a reward for you!"
When Zhou Yang heard him talking about this matter, his expression became solemn, and he couldn't help asking respectfully: "I thank you for your kindness, but I don't know what the ancestor wants you to do when you call me here?"
"Originally, if you had a golden elixir level cultivation, this matter would not be difficult for you. However, with your current cultivation level, the risk is not small. You must first have this knowledge.
Be mentally prepared!”
Guo Jinhong looked at Zhou Yang with twinkling eyes. He gave him a vaccination first, and then slowly told him the reason why he summoned Zhou Yang.
Half an hour later, Zhou Yang left Wangyou Valley alone, and then rode a golden-winged thunder eagle towards the Golden Lion Kingdom adjacent to the south of Jinyang Kingdom.
It turns out that half a year ago, a forbidden secret realm appeared in the Golden Lion Kingdom, attracting middle- and high-level monks from nearby countries to go there to hunt for treasures.
But no one expected that this mysterious place, which seemed to be full of spiritual energy, was actually filled with murderous intent.
When the first wave of unsuspecting monks entered to hunt for treasure, the killing array and puppets in the secret area suddenly launched, killing two Jindan monks, eleven Zifu monks, and more than 40 people in the Foundation building stage in one fell swoop.
monk.
At this time, the truth of the secret realm was exposed to the public. It turned out that the real builder of this secret realm was a well-known evil cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage thousands of years ago, "Heisha Zhenren".
Although this "Master Heisha" is an immortal cultivator, his methods are more ruthless than those of a demonic monk, and he is also proficient in various magical secrets.
According to Guo Jinhong, this "Master Black Evil" had been trying to create a technique for fellow practitioners of immortals and demons during his lifetime, and he seemed to have some ideas.
What Guo Jinhong wants Zhou Yang to do is to assist the two "senior brothers" who are already waiting in the Golden Lion Kingdom and enter the secret realm to get the research results of "Master Black Evil" for him.
The troublesome part of this matter is not actually the various back-up plans arranged by "Master Heisha" in the secret territory, but other Nascent Soul monks who also covet the relics of "Master Heisha".
Because the formation in that secret area restricts the entry of Nascent Soul monks, and the Nascent Soul monks restrain each other, so if they want to get the relics of "Heisha Zhenren", they can only send their disciples like Guo Jinhong.
Golden elixir stage monks go to the secret realm to seize the treasure.
Once you enter the secret realm and face the treasure, no one will care about the other party's identity or worry about their alliance.
Zhou Yang knew very well what the upper limit of his strength was. If he only fought against ordinary early-stage Jindan monks, he would be defeated and would not have to worry about saving his life.
But if he were to fight against those Jindan monks who were sent by Nascent Soul monks to fight for the relics of the "Heisha Zhenren", he would probably have a hard time even saving his life.
That's why Guo Jinhong told him in advance that this operation would have many risks for him.
Fortunately, although Guo Jinhong is overbearing, he is not so overbearing that he completely disregards his life and death.
The task given to him by the other party this time was very simple, that is, to use the restraining effect of his "Qianyang True Fire" on the power of demons to help two fellow disciples deal with various back-ups arranged by "Master Heisha" using demonic means.
As for the battle with other monks to compete for the relics of the "Heisha Zhenren", he can decide whether to intervene depending on the situation.
When Guo Jinhong accepted Zhou Yang as his disciple, he said that he was the third named disciple under his sect, which naturally meant that there were two named disciples in front of him.
Zhou Yang rushed to the Golden Lion Kingdom and met these two "senior brothers" in a market that Guo Jinhong told him, and then he learned their names and origins.
Senior Brother Liu Boyong, who is at the eighth level of Jindan cultivation, is already over 900 years old, with white hair and a boyish face, and a strong body. He is the founder of a small sect "Tiandao Sect" in the Golden Lion Kingdom, and he also has a group of people under his command. His disciples and disciples also occupy a fifth-level low-grade Lingshan Mountain as the gate of the sect. They can be said to have power and status.
The second senior brother, Yan An, has a sixth-level Golden Core cultivation level and a lifespan of less than 700. He often dresses up as a wandering Taoist priest. He does not have a sect family, but he has also held the position of guest elder in several medium-sized sects. He is considered a semi-professional. He is a casual cultivator who usually travels around various countries, looking for opportunities for advancement.
These two people have been Guo Jinhong's registered disciples for hundreds of years. They have collaborated with each other many times and have a good friendship.
As Guo Jinhong's new disciple, Zhou Yang was only at the Zifu level. Even though both of them had heard of his name before, they still had doubts about how much help he could provide in this operation.
Therefore, after meeting Zhou Yang, both of them had a somewhat neutral attitude towards Zhou Yang, and were not very enthusiastic.
Seeing this, Zhou Yang naturally had no reason to stick to someone's cold butt.
He didn't really worship Guo Jinhong as his disciple, and he didn't have any sympathy for these Guo Jinhong's registered disciples.
Anyway, when he came this time, he had already made up his mind to only do his own thing and not interfere in other things.
After the first unpleasant meeting, the three fellow disciples with different ideas took a ride on Liu Boyong's flying cloud boat to the newly discovered secret realm.
On the way to the secret realm, Zhou Yang also took the time to read the secret realm information that Liu Boyong gave him.
Since the secret realm was discovered not long ago, this information actually does not contain much content. It only records what some of the monks who entered it discovered.
According to what was said above, there are not only some evil demonic killing arrays in the secret area, but also puppet corpses and ghosts made by the "Heisha Zhenren" using the secret techniques of the demonic way. There are even some golden elixir level corpse generals and ghosts among them. Will.
In addition to these demonic powers, there are also orthodox immortal killing arrays and puppet magic weapons in the secret area, which can also pose a threat to the golden elixir stage monks.
In short, the risks in this secret area are very high, and Golden Core Stage monks must be cautious when entering it and not be careless.
