Chapter five hundred and seventy-three: abducting the colorful peacock

Ye Yunshan was suddenly accepted as a direct disciple by her master's wife Xiao Ying. This incident shocked even her.

When she showed herself in front of Xiao Ying, all she expected was a foundation-building pill, but she had never expected such a good thing.

Of course the shock is followed by ecstasy.

Even a novice who has just come into contact with the knowledge of cultivating immortals knows the difference between registered disciples and direct disciples.

Becoming a direct disciple of Xiao Ying, a freshly minted Golden Core monk, not only means that she, Ye Yunshan, will definitely succeed in building the foundation, but also has great hope of opening up the Zifu in the future. The road will be smooth sailing from now on, and will be the same as those named disciples on Chongxuan Mountain.

They have completely become two classes.

Wang Yanzhang was also very happy. Ye Yunshan was his adopted sister and Taoist companion. If she lived well, his eldest brother and Taoist companion would definitely be good too.

And with a golden elixir-level monk like Xiao Ying taking care of him, he no longer has to worry about his sister and Taoist companion being harmed.

In the past, he was often worried that if people from the "Six Paths Alliance" came over, Master Zhou Yang would abandon these registered disciples and flee back to Yuqing Dao Sect if he could not withstand the attack.

But now, he can completely relax.

Because even if they were to retreat, Ye Yunshan, who was Xiao Ying's direct disciple, would definitely be taken away with him, and as Ye Yunshan's Taoist companion, he should not be abandoned casually.

Although this would inevitably give him the reputation of being a freeloader, this is a minor problem compared with the huge benefits he has gained.

Compared to Wang Yanzhang and Ye Yunshan who were overjoyed, the mood of the others on Chongxuan Mountain was very complicated.

Undoubtedly, except for the five Zhou family monks brought by Zhou Yang, the other named disciples came to Chongxuan Mountain to become disciples. In addition to wanting to obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill from Zhou Yang to establish the foundation, they also wanted to express themselves in this way.

I hope that one day I will be valued by Master Zhou Yang and truly join the family to become a formal disciple of the Golden Core Stage monk.

Now more than ten years have passed, and when they still can't see any hope, Ye Yunshan suddenly rises to the top, follows the path of the master's wife and becomes the direct disciple of the master's wife who has just successfully formed the elixir, achieving what they dreamed of in one fell swoop.

How could this result not make people like them envious and jealous?

If Ye Yunshan was some kind of spiritual monk, or had a high-grade spiritual root qualification, they might not be jealous, but Ye Yunshan's middle-grade spiritual root qualification is similar to 90% of them.

Everyone has middle-grade spiritual root qualifications and started at the same time. Why are they still registered disciples with no hope of even building a foundation? However, Ye Yunshan has become the disciple of Master Niang. The future of Zi Mansion is promising.

Why?

People who have this idea are not only the registered disciples who started with Ye Yunshan, but also the five descendants of the Zhou family who came to Yunzhou to cultivate immortality with Zhou Yang.

As members of the Zhou family, they share the same ancestor's blood as Zhou Yang, the ancestor of the Zhou family, and they entered the service earlier than Ye Yunshan and others to serve Zhou Yang and his wife. Logically speaking, even if they really want to recruit disciples, they should be given priority.

.

Why? Why is it that Ye Yunshan, an outsider, is more respected by the ancestors and grandmothers of the family than they, the members of the Zhou family?

These thoughts were swirling in the minds of all the named disciples, making them even unable to practice with peace of mind.

For a time, all the registered disciples on Chongxuan Mountain were in a state of confusion and were in no mood to do anything or practice.

Of course, these people are dissatisfied and jealous, but no one is stupid enough to question Zhou Yang and Xiao Ying why they are like this. No one is stupid enough to openly question this decision, or even dare to say it directly.

Everyone knows that misfortune comes from the mouth.

The spiritual consciousness of the Golden Core Stage monks can easily cover the entire Chongxuan Mountain, and no one can guarantee that what they say will not be heard by the two Golden Core Stage monks.

Zhou Yang and Xiao Ying naturally knew the thoughts of these named disciples.

This is human nature, but if they were in a different place, I'm afraid they wouldn't be exempt from it.

So as long as no one seeks death and offends them with words, they will not reprimand or punish these people for this.

Time is the best adjuster. Zhou Yang believes that as time goes by and as Ye Yunshan's cultivation gradually widens the gap between her and these people, these people's ideas will naturally change.

Therefore, after the apprenticeship ceremony, Ye Yunshan moved to the mountaintop area to practice, and no longer worked with the registered disciples to take care of chores.

Zhou Yang didn't care about how Xiao Ying taught his disciples. After a few days of rest, he studied the "Blood Soul Sacrifice Technique" he got from Master Qingyang, and prepared to use this secret technique to sacrifice the soul.

Dragon cauldron with animal face pattern.

This "blood soul sacrificial weapon technique" is not complicated, but the cost of using it is a bit high.

If you use this technique to refining a magic weapon, you must first use some precious materials to set up an altar array, then place the magic weapon on the altar, and use your own essence and blood to refine it every day for seven or forty-nine days.

can be successful.

Zhou Yang did some calculations and found out that if he used this secret technique to refining the dragon cauldron with animal face patterns without taking any panacea to replenish his essence and blood, he would probably lose half of his life. No wonder Master Qingyang didn't advise him at that time.

Do this.

But if you take some miraculous medicine that restores and replenishes your essence and blood, you may be able to recover after taking a rest for ten or eight years.

In view of this, he decided to use this secret technique after hesitating for a while.

So next, Zhou Yang personally visited several fairy cities around Chongxuan Mountain and purchased all the materials for setting up the altar array.

Then he announced his seclusion and secretly worshiped the dragon cauldron with the animal face pattern in the cave.

After seventy-seven and forty-nine days passed, he finally succeeded in refining the Dragon Cauldron with the Beast Face Pattern, and thus learned the true name and function of this magical weapon.

It turns out that the real name of this beast-faced dragon cauldron is "Suppressing the Sky Cang Dragon Cauldron", and it is indeed a sixth-level mid-grade magical weapon as Lu Xuanji said at the beginning.

At the same time, Master Qingyang was right. If Zhou Yang wanted to practice the "Canglong Body Refining Technique" to the fourth level, he would need to pour the dragon's spiritual blood into the cauldron and activate the "Canglong Flame" attached to the cauldron for tempering.

practice, then jump into the cauldron and sit quietly to practice.

Of course, the auxiliary practice of "Canglong Body Refining Technique" is only a side function of the "Suppressing Sky Canglong Cauldron". Its real function is to suppress the void and form a forbidden sky realm.

If Zhou Yang has the cultivation level of Nascent Soul stage and can exert the full power of the "Suppressing Sky Cang Dragon Cauldron", the scope of this forbidden air domain will be hundreds of miles wide.

By then, within a hundred miles, all beings with cultivation levels below the late Nascent Soul stage will lose the ability to fly, with the exception of the owner of the "Suppressing Sky Canglong Cauldron".

This is a very terrifying ability!

It can be predicted that the monk who made sacrifices to this "Sky-Suppressing Blue Dragon Cauldron" must be a powerful body cultivator who has practiced the "Cang Dragon Body Refining Technique" to an extremely high level.

Facing such a powerful physical cultivator, if he suddenly loses the power of flight, even a Yuanying Stage monk will be easily defeated by the opponent!

This is a magical instrument specially designed for top-notch physical cultivation.

The combat effectiveness of physical training with this magical weapon in hand and physical training without this magical weapon are completely different concepts.

"What a baby, what a baby!"

"It's not in vain that I spent so much money to refine this thing."

"With this treasure in hand, there will be no place in the world that cannot be reached in the future!"

In the secret room of the cave, Zhou Yang, who had sunken eye sockets, was thin, and looked as pale as snowflakes, looked at the cauldron in front of him, and laughed with excitement and joy in his eyes.

At this time, his aura was extremely sluggish, which was caused by the loss of essence and blood caused by the "Suppressing Heaven Canglong Cauldron" that he had used to sacrifice for the past few days.

Even with the help of the elixir, his blood essence and blood have now been reduced to less than 60% of what he was at his peak. The loss is not insignificant.

Therefore, for the next five years, no one on Chongxuan Mountain, including the Taoist monk Xiao Ying, saw Zhou Yang once.

It was not until seven years later that news came that Zhou Yang walked out of the closed room.

The news was handed over by Master Qingyang. The content was that Zhou Yang had asked him to announce the search for the fifth-order tree demon, and there was already news.

"Wild jungle? It looks like we have to go on a long trip again!"

In the cave, Zhou Yang frowned slightly after reading the letter sent by Master Qingyang, and soon returned to normal.

The wild jungle is indeed a bit far away, but if there is a fifth-level dryad anywhere, the probability is highest there.

So this news should be true.

As for the long journey, there is nothing we can do about it. The refining of the natal magic weapon is of great importance, and it is of great benefit to be able to refine it a year in advance.

So he quickly called Taoist companion Xiao Ying to the cave and talked about the matter.

"Senior Qingyang received news that someone discovered a fifth-level dryad in the wild jungle. My husband needs to go there to get the [Heart of the Dryad] for you. During the next period of time when my husband is out, Ying'er

You must be vigilant like last time and do not let the disciples go out of the mountain during this period, so as not to leak the news that my husband is not on the mountain!"

Over the years, Anguo's territory can be said to be peaceful. The "Six Paths Alliance" seems to have acquiesced in the existence of Chongxuan Mountain and has no intention of pulling out this nail. This is the confidence that Zhou Yang dares to travel far alone.

Otherwise, he would definitely take Taoist companion Xiao Ying with him to the wild jungle.

When Xiao Ying heard that he was going out to find materials for refining her natal magic weapon, she was sensible and did not dissuade him or ask him to go with him.

He just said "Be careful" with concern as usual, then looked at him and said: "Since your husband is going on a long journey, you might as well go to Xianyang City and buy a copy of "Qinghua Sutra of Fighting the Disaster" for Yunshan. She

You can take the Foundation Establishment Pill to build your foundation right away. When my husband comes back, you should have successfully built your foundation, and you will be able to switch to this technique at that time."

The "Qinghua Sutra of Overcoming Troubles" that Xiao Ying practiced was originally given to Zhou Yang free of charge by Xuanyang Pavilion when Master Qingyang opened his mouth.

However, this kind of purchased technique can only be practiced by one person and cannot be taught to others. Therefore, if Ye Yunshan wants to practice this advanced technique, Zhou Yang will have to buy it for her once with the spiritual stone.

But when Zhou Yang heard Xiao Ying's words, he rarely rejected her request. He shook his head and said: "Ying'er, you don't like fighting by temperament. Practicing the "Qing Hua Duo Jing" can be said to complement each other, but your disciple

He has a soft personality on the outside but is strong on the inside. If he were to practice this kind of purely auxiliary technique, I'm afraid the effect would not be as satisfactory as expected."

After he finished speaking, he paused and looked at Xiao Ying's face. When he saw the thoughtful look on her face, he knew that she had listened to his words.

Then he continued: "My husband happens to have a copy of "Zhi Mu Xuan Gong" here, which is also an advanced wood-attribute skill. After she successfully builds the foundation, you can first teach her the first half and teach her to practice this skill.

"

"Zhimu Xuan Gong" is an advanced skill that Zhou Yang obtained when he confiscated a treasure house of the Zifu family in Cangyuan Immortal City in the far west. Although this skill is not as mysterious as "Qinghua Duer Sutra"

, but it is enough to practice to the Nascent Soul stage.

In fact, Zhou Yang still had something to say.

That is, Xiao Ying can practice the "Qinghua Sutra of Fighting Calamities" because he, Zhou Yang, can protect her and provide her with sufficient resources for practice.

If Ye Yunshan also practices this kind of auxiliary technique with little combat effectiveness, and she is Xiao Ying's personal disciple, it means that Zhou Yang is likely to have another high-level non-combatant monk in the future, which he does not want to see.

.

After all, Ling Zhifu is not an alchemist. No matter how talented Ling Zhifu is, he is not as useful to a force as an alchemy master.

Zhou Yang could support an alchemy master regardless of resource consumption, but he was absolutely unwilling to support a fourth-level or fifth-level spiritual cultivator like this.

But there was no need to tell Xiao Ying explicitly about these things. Zhou Yang didn't want her to be burdened with anything because of this matter.

Sure enough, when Xiao Ying heard what he said, she quickly gave up her original idea. She nodded lightly and said, "What your husband said makes sense. Let's stop this matter first. After Yunshan succeeds in building the foundation, I will

Then tell her the situation and let her make her own choice."

"That's right. Her own path still depends on her own opinions. As a master, you don't have to worry about everything. That will make people bored easily."

Zhou Yang smiled softly and handed the book "Zhi Mu Xuan Gong" to Xiao Ying, then explained some things and quietly left Chong Xuan Mountain.

Half a year later, in a deep valley deep in the wild jungle, golden fire shot into the sky, reflecting a huge ancient tree with dancing branches.

This ancient tree is nearly three hundred feet high, with a trunk diameter of more than ten feet. At this moment, on the trunk burned by the golden flames, an unusually beautiful female face suddenly appeared.

"Exalted Immortal, spare your life. I don't know where the little demon has offended the Immortal. Please forgive me for the little demon's difficulty in cultivation. The little demon is willing to offer all the treasures to the Immortal!"

The female face on the tree trunk has her mouth wide open and her voice is screaming for mercy.

Dryads like it are most afraid of those fire-based martial arts monks who master the Zhiyang True Fire. In front of such monks, their powerful vitality sometimes becomes a torture tool for themselves.

As soon as Zhou Yang's "Qian Yang True Fire" strengthened by the "Qian Yang Orb" came out, the tree demon's cultivation level had reached the fifth level, and he could only wait to die.

At this time, when he heard the tree demon's begging for mercy, Zhou Yang was unmoved and said calmly: "If I thought that it would be difficult for you to practice cultivation, then those monsters that have been drained of their essence, blood and soul by you will be spared."

Why don’t you spare the lives of wild beasts and wild alien races?”

When the tree demon heard this, he immediately argued loudly: "But the Immortal is not a monster or a beast, nor is it a barbaric alien race. Although the little demon lives in the wilderness, he knows that cultivators like the Supreme Immortal can also hunt monsters and beasts.

, we are also enemies with the wild alien races, so why do you want to help these enemies deal with the little monsters?"

Zhou Yang suddenly laughed, and couldn't help but smile and said: "You also said that immortal cultivators will hunt monsters and beasts, so aren't you a monster yourself? Do immortal cultivators need a reason to kill monsters?"

"You—you go too far in bullying the demon!"

The dryad's face was so angry that it twisted, and its green eyes were full of resentment as it stared at Zhou Yang in mid-air.

It was originally a man-eating tree with a bad temper. If it hadn't been restrained by Zhou Yang with all its magical powers, it would never have talked nonsense with Zhou Yang and would have captured Zhou Yang to make tree fertilizer!

"It is your misfortune to be born as a monster. If there is an afterlife, reincarnate as a human!"

After Zhou Yang whispered a few words to himself, he waved his hand and used the "Taiyin Zanpakutō" to slash at the tree root.

The sharp silver knife struck the tree trunk, and a stream of brown-red liquid slowly overflowed from the wound. He tried to repair the scar on the tree trunk, but as the golden flame burned, the brown-red liquid was quickly burned.

Red smoke.

In this way, although the tree demon struggled desperately, in the end, it was helpless and the trunk was cut off by Zhou Yangsheng.

The tree trunk fell over, but the tree demon was still alive, but without the trunk, the tree demon was even less able to stop Zhou Yang's attack.

Not long after, this demonic tree, which had lived for who knows how many years, was uprooted by Zhou Yang and thrown to the ground.

This is not the first time Zhou Yang has killed a tree demon. Previously in the Duanyun Mountains, he also killed a fourth-level tree demon, which was a hundred-foot-long ancient pine, in order to seize the [Condensing Yuan Fruit] tree.

A tree demon, the most precious thing in it is naturally the [Tree Demon's Heart].

The [Heart of the Dryad] of this fifth-level high-grade tree demon is half a foot long and two feet wide, which is more than enough to refine two "Rejuvenation Immortal Bottles".

In addition to the [Heart of the Dryad] which contains rich vitality, the roots and trunks of the Dryad are also excellent materials for alchemy and weapon refining.

Zhou Yang had the same experience as last time, so he spared his efforts this time. He only burned the surface layer of the tree demon's trunk, but retained most of the tree core inside.

Unfortunately, the tree demon is too domineering, and the place where it grows leaves little room for other elixirs, let alone spiritual trees.

The tree demon in the Duanyun Mountains was able to allow the [Condensing Yuan Fruit] tree to grow next to it because it wanted to use the [Condensing Yuan Fruit] to lure other monsters closer to it so that it could devour those monsters and nourish itself.

The tree demon killed by Zhou Yang just now can grow a spiritual fruit that can tempt the beasts to devour it, so there is no need to cultivate other elixirs as bait.

It's just that the few spiritual fruits that the tree demon had originally had been actively absorbed by it in the previous battle to replenish its strength, but Zhou Yang was not given the opportunity to pick them.

At this time, Zhou Yang processed the various materials left behind by the dryad and put them into the storage ring. Then he released the "Golden Winged Thunder Eagle" from the spirit beast ring, rode on the eagle's back and left the place.

But he did not return directly to the Immortal Cultivation World of Liuyun Continent. Instead, he took a detour and rushed to the cave that the ghost servant Xu Song had opened deep in the wild jungle, intending to go there to see if Jiang Fengxian had returned.

Calculating carefully, nearly a hundred years have passed since he separated from Jiang Fengxian in Kunxu Realm.

Such a long time is enough for Jiang Fengxian to return to the Immortal Cultivation World of Liuyun Continent from the Immortal Cultivation World of Tiannan Continent via the Donghua Continent.

But to Zhou Yang's disappointment, when he rushed to the cave deep in the wild jungle, he found that the cave was empty, with no trace of any beauty, only a tall and beautiful colorful peacock.

"Your master doesn't know how long it will take to come back. If you feel lonely here, you can leave with me first. When your master comes back and sees the letter I left for her, she will naturally look for you."

In Jiang Fengxian's cave, Zhou Yang looked at the colorful peacock mount that he had left behind to look after his family, but he began to think of abducting it.

This colorful peacock has been living in a cave in a valley for hundreds of years, and it is extremely lonely.

It is now a fourth-level high-grade monster, and it has been trained by Jiang Fengxian since childhood. Its intelligence is no worse than Zhou Yang's "Golden Winged Thunder Eagle". Of course, it can't stand this kind of life that is equivalent to imprisonment.

Zhou Yang had previously used the token left by Jiang Fengxian to pass through the formation, but he was so happy that he thought his master was back.

Even though it was later discovered that only Zhou Yang had come in, it was unusually lifeless. Instead, it danced around Zhou Yang and screamed inquiring about its owner's whereabouts.

Although Zhou Yang couldn't understand the bird's language, he couldn't believe that this colorful peacock was smart and knew how to write and draw pictures on the ground to communicate with him, so he informed the other party of Jiang Fengxian's whereabouts.

At this time, he decided to take away the colorful peacock. In addition to seeing that the other party was really pitiful, he also had the idea of ​​"capturing the bird as a pledge".

If he just left a letter here, when Jiang Fengxian saw it when he came back, he might not be willing to look for him with shame.

But with this colorful peacock in hand, Zhou Yang believed that Jiang Fengxian would definitely not give up on this spiritual pet that he had raised since childhood.

The colorful peacock is really very intelligent. After hearing Zhou Yang's words, he tilted his head and started thinking, and his brown eyes kept turning on him, as if to judge whether he was worthy of trust.

Seeing this, Zhou Yang couldn't help but shake the cave entrance and exit token given to him by Jiang Fengxian in his hand and said: "You don't have to worry about me lying to you. My relationship with your master is much closer than you think, otherwise she wouldn't

You will give me this token of entry and exit from the cave. The last time she formed an elixir, I was the one who protected her!"

When the colorful peacock heard what he said, he seemed to understand something. He suddenly drew two birds on the ground with his paws, two birds flying together, and then looked at Zhou Yang with wide eyes.

"That's right, your master and I are now in a spouse relationship. If you follow me, I will never treat you badly!"

Zhou Yang had a bright smile on his face, smiling very happily.

Sure enough, after hearing his words, the colorful peacock, who was still hesitating at first, finally nodded, agreed to his proposal, and even lowered his body actively, gesturing for him to ride on her.

As a mount, doing this is its way of showing trust.

It is absolutely impossible for a person who does not gain its trust and recognition to invite him to ride on him.
