Eight hundred years is not a long time, and even a monk in the Nascent Soul stage cannot ignore this period of time, which is almost one-third of his life.
In the past eight hundred years, Zhou Yang has traveled all over the five major realms of immortality, experienced countless life and death crises, and seen all kinds of strange people and sights.
He has participated in the refining of true demons sealed in ancient times, killed sixth-order dragons, witnessed the grand scene of a ten thousand-year-old demon crossing the "True Spirit Tribulation", and personally met and talked with a true immortal during the tribulation period...
The most exciting things in Zhou Yang's life all happened during these eight hundred years.
For him, although these eight hundred years were not entirely satisfactory, they were extremely fulfilling and rewarding.
But for Qin Yue'er, who had been left in Kunxu Realm for eight hundred years, these eight hundred years were too monotonous and simple.
The mysterious black-robed man originally promised Zhou Yang that he would use the sixth-level elixir Nine-Leaf Sun-Returning Grass and a special magic circle to save Qin Yue'er, whose body had turned into a half-corpse. However, the result of the rescue was that Qin Yue'er's memory would be lost.
The facts were just as he said to Zhou Yang. After nine years of treatment, the corpse energy in Qin Yue'er's body was successfully eliminated, and his soul was reshaped and restored with the help of the mysterious black-robed man's secret method.
After that, the mysterious man in black robe gave her the jade slip of memory left by Zhou Yang, allowing her to have a basic understanding of her name and life experience, which was regarded as reshaping her memory.
Thanks to the rich aura environment in the Kunxu Realm, coupled with the various elixirs refined by the mysterious black-robed man and his personal guidance, as well as her own top-notch qualifications as a Xuanyin spirit body, Qin Yue'er became a master of martial arts in just a hundred years.
A golden elixir was formed.
After practicing for more than three hundred years, with the help of the Holy Infant Fruit given by the mysterious black-robed man, she successfully condensed the Nascent Soul and became a Nascent Soul monk.
When the Kunxu Realm opened again eight hundred years later, Qin Yue'er was already a Nascent Soul master with the second level of Nascent Soul cultivation.
However, as a Nascent Soul monk, Qin Yue'er had never seen any human monk other than herself, and the mysterious black-robed man had never told her anything about the outside world other than guiding her in her practice.
All her knowledge of the outside world comes only from the jade slip that records her life experience, as well as the jade slips found in Kunxu Realm and the relics of other immortal cultivators.
It can be said that in the tens of thousands of years of immortal cultivation history in the "Linghuan Realm", there has never been any Nascent Soul Stage monk like Qin Yue'er.
She is as pure as an orchid growing deep in a dense forest. Her temperament is ethereal and clear, and her fairy spirit is fluttering. She perfectly fits the image of a fairy imagined by ordinary scholars.
When Zhou Yang saw Qin Yue'er again, he was also amazed by her beauty and temperament.
In terms of beauty, Qin Yue'er is still slightly inferior to Jiang Fengxian, but her fairy-like and ethereal temperament directly elevates her beauty, making her look like someone from the otherworldly world.
Fairy, don't touch any human fireworks.
"Eight hundred years have passed by so quickly. Does Fairy Qin still remember our old friend?"
On the top of the snow-capped mountains, Zhou Yang looked at the beautiful lady in white on the snow, who was as beautiful as a fairy in the sky, and greeted her softly with a kind smile.
Regarding the fact that Qin Yue'er was once controlled by Guo Jinhong and committed to him, he did not disclose it in the jade slip he left to Qin Yue'er. At that time, he had the idea of severing this bad relationship.
Now that we meet again after eight hundred years, he will naturally not mention this matter.
Despite this, after hearing his words, Qin Yue'er's pretty face still showed a hint of excitement.
"Eight hundred years have passed, and I have finally waited for my benefactor!"
She sighed with excitement and emotion, then leaned over and gave a big salute to Zhou Yang and said: "This gift is to thank the benefactor for his life-saving grace. If the benefactor hadn't rescued him righteously, Yue'er would have died about eight hundred years ago."
It has turned into a zombie. It is difficult for Yue'er to repay this kindness and love in this life. She should tie a grass ring to repay her benefactor!"
"Fairy Qin is too polite. In those days, fairies would encounter corpse disasters, and Zhou also had a share of the responsibility. Besides, the person who really brought the fairy back to life was not Zhou. The one the fairy should really be grateful to is the senior!"
Zhou Yang waved his hands again and again, without any intention of repaying the favor or taking any credit.
Qin Yue'er is a truly pitiful person. Zhou Yang was willing to save her back then, and he did not hesitate to replace treasures such as the Netherworld Coffin to save her. In addition to the responsibility he just mentioned, he also
Sympathize with her experience.
Just because Qin Yue'er has become more beautiful and has a higher level of cultivation, he can't unconscionably demand repayment from her.
Unexpectedly, after Qin Yue'er heard what he said, the expression of gratitude on her pretty face became more intense, and she quickly said: "My benefactor, there is no need to be modest. Senior Lan has already told Yue'er the cause and effect. Over the past eight hundred years,
While Yue'er is practicing, she always reminds herself not to forget the life-saving grace of her benefactor and Senior Lan. I am lucky enough to see my benefactor today because it is God's will that Yue'er repays his kindness to fellow Taoist monks."
After saying that, she didn't wait for Zhou Yang to say no more, then smiled sweetly and said: "Senior Lan has been waiting for Zhou Daoyou for a long time. My benefactor should hurry up and go to the valley to see him!"
"Okay, then Zhou will go visit first, um, visit Senior Lan."
When Zhou Yang heard this, his attention was drawn away.
The mysterious man in black robes in the Kunxu Realm is the clone left by the real immortal from the lower realm of the original "True Immortal Realm". The secrets of the "True Immortal Realm" he knows are undoubtedly very attractive to lower realm monks like him.
Zhou Yang was also about to ask the other party's opinion on the disappearance of Jiang Fengxian's mother and daughter.
But he didn't forget the question of Qin Yue'er's address. He looked at the other party solemnly and said: "But Fairy Qin must not address Zhou as benefactor anymore. Zhou really deserves it. If Fairy doesn't despise it,
, you and I can treat each other as Taoist friends."
"Since my benefactor doesn't like Yue'er being called that way, Yue'er will call you master from now on. If you don't mind being called master, please let Yue'er follow you, serve you tea and water, and be your maid."
Qin Yue'er smiled and automatically replaced the name with another one. She was not willing to interact with Zhou Yang on an equal footing, as if she regarded herself as a servant.
Underneath his seemingly weak appearance, he actually has a strong and determined heart.
"Fairy you..."
Zhou Yang opened his mouth slightly and looked at the beautiful lady in front of him who was smiling at him. He wanted to say something, but he paused.
From Qin Yue'er's unamused eyes, he could already see the stubbornness and determination in her heart.
As a Nascent Soul monk, once you make up your mind to do something, it is unrealistic for outsiders to change your mind just by words.
The complicated relationship between the two made Zhou Yang realize that when he rejected Qin Yue'er, he was not as firm and decisive as he originally thought.
"My Taoist friend, the Yuan Ying Stage monk, is willing to follow Zhou. Zhou naturally wants it, but this maid's talk is completely unnecessary!"
After hesitating for a while, he shook his head slightly and rejected Qin Yue'er's suggestion of committing himself to being a servant. Then he looked at her seriously and said, "If fellow Taoist really wants to repay his kindness, then Zhou will hire fellow Taoist as a servant on behalf of his family."
The supreme elder of the family, if I can help Zhou and the Zhou family a few times in the future within my ability, Zhou will be grateful!"
"Fellow Daoist Zhou has already arrived here, why is he still unwilling to go into the valley to meet a certain person? Could it be that he has some concerns about a certain family?"
A strong and deep male voice suddenly floated from the valley behind the snow-capped mountains, interrupting the conversation between Zhou Yang and Qin Yue'er.
But it was the mysterious man in black robe who saw that he had not entered the valley with Qin Yue'er, so he urged him to come.
Seeing this, Zhou Yang could only temporarily put aside the discussion with Qin Yue'er about what to call him, and immediately followed him into the Holy Infant Valley to meet the mysterious black-robed man.
The Holy Infant Fruit in the Holy Infant Valley is not yet mature, and will not be born when the Kunxu Realm opens this time. Naturally, the formation restrictions that test entrants will not be activated.
Zhou Yang was led by Qin Yue'er, and he quickly bypassed the formation restrictions outside and entered the black palace on the mountain, where he saw the mysterious black-robed man waiting for them.
This mysterious black-robed man has a mysterious origin. He is probably the clone of the "Tianwai Immortal" who originally came to the "Linghuan Realm" to teach the humans in this world how to cultivate immortals. Even though Zhou Yang was already at the sixth level of Nascent Soul at this time, he was still in front of him.
Don't dare to be disrespectful in any way.
After meeting, he took the initiative to go forward and bow to him: "Junior Zhou Yang, pay my respects to senior Lan."
"You are very good! Only eight hundred years have passed, and you have been promoted from the first-level cultivation level of Jindan to the sixth-level cultivation level of Nascent Soul. This kind of cultivation speed is even among the immortal sects in the upper world.
It’s worthy of being called a genius!”
The mysterious black-robed man looked at Zhou Yang for a while, then looked away and praised him with surprise in his words.
Qin Yue'er has followed this mysterious man in black robes for eight hundred years, and this is the first time she has seen such a change in his tone, which makes her even more curious about Zhou Yang, her benefactor.
I saw her pair of wonderful eyes falling on Zhou Yang, staring at Zhou Yang's handsome face with undisguised curiosity, as if she was observing what was different about Zhou Yang.
It's a pity that she has only seen Zhou Yang, a real person, and has no other comparison at all. She also doesn't know what Zhou Yang's achievements in cultivation are in the "Linghuan Realm" within 800 years. Naturally, she can't see it.
What comes out?
After Zhou Yang heard the praise from the mysterious black-robed man, he replied extremely humbly: "It's embarrassing to say this. This junior can achieve this achievement mostly by relying on the power of pills and spiritual objects. In fact,
I don’t dare to praise you like this before my seniors!”
"I'm just telling the truth, you don't need to be modest. Besides, the higher your cultivation level, the better for me."
The mysterious black-robed man shook his head slightly, not paying attention to Zhou Yang's modesty. After he finished speaking, he ordered Qin Yue'er: "Yue'er, it's time for you to practice. Fellow Taoist Zhou, you can be entertained here by someone."
Upon hearing this, Qin Yue'er immediately responded respectfully: "Yue'er obeys your order."
After saying that, she saluted Zhou Yangfu and said, "Master, please feel free to communicate with Senior Lan here. Yue'er will take her leave first."
When Qin Yue'er left, the mysterious black-robed man looked at Zhou Yang and asked again: "How is it? Is this woman's current situation still satisfactory to fellow Taoist Zhou?"
"Senior Lan really has unparalleled magical powers. Miss Qin's situation is exactly the same as what senior said at the beginning. I can only express my admiration!"
Zhou Yang looked at the mysterious black-robed man with a sigh on his face and said, his eyes full of admiration and wonder.
He knew how dangerous Qin Yue'er's situation was back then, and even with his current magical powers, there was nothing he could do in that situation.
But this mysterious black-robed man relied on a nine-leaf sun-returning grass to reverse life and death, turn his body into a corpse, and rescue Qin Yue'er who had his soul melted. This magical power is really unpredictable!
"A certain family sees that you seem to have some resistance to this girl. Don't you want her to stay with you?"
The mysterious man in black robe said, then shook his head and said: "Forget it, this is a private matter between you two. It is not convenient for a certain family to take care of it. I just want to remind you that this woman is currently practicing the Xuanyin Su Nv Zhen Jing.
, is a well-known dual cultivation method in the upper realm. The more the female cultivator who practices this method has a physique that matches the method and the higher her cultivation level, the greater the help to the male cultivator, and the Xuanyin body is the most
The physique is suitable for this technique!"
"With your and her current cultivation levels, just by taking the power of her Yuan Yin, the chance of breaking through the later stages of Yuan Ying can be increased by at least 60%. In the future, you can greatly increase your cultivation speed through dual cultivation!"
Zhou Yang was immediately stunned.
He never thought that after Qin Yue'er walked in circles between life and death, she still couldn't get rid of the fate of becoming a double cultivator!
This is really a trick of fate!
At the same time, he did not expect that the mysterious black-robed man could see at a glance the difficulties he was facing in his cultivation.
That's right, after staying in seclusion for more than a hundred years in the cave of the underground magma sea, with the help of the good cultivation environment and many magical elixirs here, his cultivation not only reached the sixth level of Nascent Soul by two levels in a row, but also faintly touched the level of Nascent Soul.
We have reached the bottleneck of cultivation in the later stage of Nascent Soul.
Zhou Yang also encountered this kind of cultivation bottleneck when he was in the golden elixir stage, but it took him a long time to break through.
However, compared with the bottleneck of practice encountered in the Golden Elixir stage, the bottleneck of practice in the middle to late Yuanying stages is undoubtedly many times more difficult to break through.
Throughout the ages, countless talented Yuanying-stage monks have been stuck in front of this bottleneck and have never broken through in their lives.
Although Zhou Yang is confident that he will not become one of them, at present, he still has no confidence in breaking this bottleneck of cultivation.
According to his own idea, he is planning to focus on understanding the laws of heaven and earth and cultivating magical powers after his cultivation level cannot be improved at all, firstly to see if it can have a bypassing effect, and secondly, it can also improve his fighting skills.
ability.
But now the mysterious man in black robe told him that as long as he took Qin Yue'er's Yuan Yin power, he could increase his 60% chance of breaking through the bottleneck, which really shocked him.
He did not doubt the authenticity of the words of the mysterious black-robed man. He relied on the power of dual cultivation to break through the bottleneck. This was a widely spread method in the world of immortality. A dual cultivation cauldron like Qin Yueer's Nascent Soul cultivation level was even more powerful.
Even if we search the entire "Linghuan Realm", it is difficult to find the existence of the second one.
With her cultivation in the Nascent Soul stage, her excellent Xuanyin body, and her special dual cultivation technique, no monk would doubt that her Yuanyin power can help people break through the bottleneck in the later Nascent Soul stage.
But can I do this myself?
Is this worthy of my own conscience and Taoism?
Zhou Yang quickly calmed down, shook his head with a firm look and said: "Senior's words are wrong. This junior rescued Fairy Qin originally out of moral conscience. If she is now used as a dual cultivator, take away her Yuan Yin
If the power is used to break through the bottleneck, what is the difference between that and the person who wanted to harm her in the first place?"
When he said this, his eyes became more and more firm, and his tone became more and more high-pitched as he said loudly: "Although I, Zhou Yang, am not a virtuous gentleman, I don't even bother to do such a villainous thing!"
