Of course, there are no coincidences. For example, the fact that Zhou Yang obtained the "Qianyang Pearl" was an extremely coincidental thing.
But the coincidences one after another are definitely not coincidences.
Although none of the bandits who attacked the Baisha River Oasis had exposed any traces of magic techniques or magical powers, Zhou Yang had obtained the secret magic techniques from the bandits' storage bags one after another, which was enough for him to take these people down. Connected with the legendary magic monk.
Of course, all this is just his speculation now, and the magic secrets he obtained can only be used as evidence for this speculation, but cannot prove that the bandits are disguised as magic monks.
Because it was just speculation, he could not regard his speculation as a fact and directly report it to the Chen family ancestor and Zhang Yunpeng.
After all, the appearance of a demonic monk is of great importance. Once it is indeed true, the entire boundless sea of sand cultivation world may be shaken.
He is not 100% sure about the authenticity of the matter now so he reports it. If something happens in the future, he will be responsible!
"Anyway, the ancestor of the Chen family is about to cast a spell to find the whereabouts of the bandits. Once they find the bandits and wipe them out, the truth of the matter will naturally be revealed. Why should I go into this muddy water?"
Zhou Yang's face changed for a while, but he finally decided not to report his guess yet. He didn't seek merit, but sought no fault.
He flipped his hand and put the jade slip with the "Blood Demon Sword" written on it into the depths of his most commonly used storage bag.
He will definitely not practice this secret magic technique, nor will he let others in the Zhou family practice it, but there is no need to rush to destroy it now, keep it in hand, maybe it will come in handy later.
Next, Zhou Yang quickly browsed the other jade slips found on the bandits, and then put them away into different categories.
Then, he took out the jade slip made from the puppet beast obtained from the "Thousand Machines Cave" and another jade slip that recorded the secret technique of divine consciousness.
The puppet beast is a special magic weapon. The refining method of this kind of magic weapon is very different from that of normal magic weapons. It does not require monks to control it with magic power. Instead, it can use spiritual stones instead of magic power as a power source.
It is said that those high-level puppet beasts of level five or above also have spiritual intelligence and can automatically help their owners fight like pets, so that those weapon refiners who are famous for refining puppet beasts prefer to call themselves "puppet masters".
The jade slips obtained by Zhou Yang recorded twelve methods of refining puppet beasts, including three methods of refining first-order puppet beasts, seven methods of refining second-order puppet beasts, and finally two methods of refining third-order puppet beasts. Refining method.
Previously in "Thousand Machines Cave", he didn't have time to look at the refining methods of these puppet beasts. Now that he has free time, as an excellent weapon refiner, he will certainly not let go of this opportunity to study.
But after he took a detailed look at several first- and second-level puppet beast refining methods, he immediately stopped studying, shook his head and put away the jade slips.
It's not that he doesn't want to continue researching, but he has just discovered that even the simplest first-order high-grade puppet beast has a more complex structure than an ordinary second-order high-grade magic weapon.
Under such circumstances, it would be impossible to master all the refining methods of these twelve puppet beasts in less than ten or eight years, and how could he have so much time to do such a thing now.
Putting down the refining method of the puppet beast, Zhou Yang picked up the jade slip that recorded the secret technique of divine consciousness and studied it.
This time, a smile finally appeared on his face.
The secret technique of divine consciousness in the jade slip is called "God-Destroying Needle". It is a secret technique of divine consciousness killing that uses divine consciousness to attack the enemy's divine consciousness soul. As long as you get started with this secret technique, you can condense part of your own spiritual consciousness.
Become a needle of consciousness to pierce the enemy's mind.
Once stabbed by this "God-Destroying Needle", as long as the enemy's spiritual consciousness is not as strong as Zhou Yang's, his head will suffer unbearable severe pain. If his spiritual consciousness is too much worse than his, he will even be directly pierced through the sea of consciousness and become a person.
The unconscious "living dead".
However, although this "God-Destroying Needle" is powerful, it is not without its shortcomings, that is, it is most taboo to use it on people whose spiritual consciousness is stronger than yourself.
If the enemy's spiritual consciousness is stronger than your own, using the "God-Destroying Needle" will not only fail to harm the enemy, but will also cause you to permanently lose this part of your spiritual consciousness, directly causing you to fall into a coma.
The spiritual consciousness of a cultivator is something that is more difficult to recover than blood and essence. The spiritual objects that can enhance the spiritual consciousness are all rare treasures in the world. The value of any kind cannot be simply measured by spiritual stones.
.
Zhou Yang's spiritual consciousness has always been far superior to monks of the same level. Although this "God-Destroying Needle" has fatal shortcomings, for him, its advantages can completely cover up the shortcomings.
The advantages of divine consciousness attacks are really great. Not only are the attack methods difficult to guard against, but the attacks cannot be defended by ordinary magic weapons and spells. Those magical weapons and spells that are specially designed to defend against spiritual consciousness attacks are not something that monks in the foundation building stage can possess.
.
As long as Zhou Yang learns the secret technique of "God-Destroying Needle" and cooperates with the "Qianyang True Fire" he has mastered, even if a monk in the middle stage of foundation building becomes his enemy, he will kill him instantly if he is not careful.
However, just when he was about to retreat to learn the secret technique of "God-Destroying Needle", he suddenly received a message from the old patriarch Zhou Minghan. It turned out that after many days of preparation, the ancestor of the Chen family was finally ready to perform the "Ten Thousand Miles Chasing Soul"
"skill".
On the white hump.
When Zhou Yang and three of the Zhou family's foundation-building monks rushed outside the formation altar newly built by the Chen family, more than thirty foundation-building monks had already gathered here.
Among the more than thirty foundation-building monks, except for the ten Huangshamen foundation-building monks wearing yellow robes, the rest are all high-ranking members of the Chen family and the immortal cultivating families near the Baisha River oasis. There is no casual cultivator.
Among them, Zhou Yang saw Liu Qingsong and Yang Xingyan, who had visited him on Jingming Peak. Each of them brought a family foundation-building monk to join the battle.
Seeing the arrival of the three foundation-building monks from the Zhou family, the ten foundation-building monks from Huangshamen just looked at them for a few times and stopped paying attention. The other foundation-building monks from the families near the Baisha River Oasis all smiled and nodded to Zhou Ming.
Han, Zhou Xuanhao said hello.
Zhou Yang is a new Foundation Establishment monk. There may be many people here who have heard of him, but not many who have met him or know him. At this time, seeing that the ancestor of the Chen family had not yet practiced the method, Zhou Minghan naturally took the opportunity to introduce him.
He got to know the foundation-building monks from other families and helped him integrate into the circle of foundation-building monks in the Baisha River Oasis Immortal Cultivation World.
This is the advantage of being a family monk. As long as you have reached the level of cultivation, you can easily squeeze into the circle of monks of the same level through the connections of the family elders.
If he were an ordinary casual cultivator, even if he was lucky enough to establish a foundation, he would still have a blank slate in terms of connections with monks of the same level in the foundation building period. He wanted to establish friendship with the monks of the same level and squeeze into the circle of surrounding monks in the foundation building period.
, it will take a lot of time and energy to do it in the future.
Networking cannot directly promote the improvement of cultivation, but everyone knows the importance of network.
The simplest example is that in the Baisha River Oasis cultivation world, only a few families can refine third-level elixirs and magic weapons, and they are rarely sold directly in family stores. Even if they are sold, they are
The price is deliberately high to attract popularity.
At this time, you have no connections and don't know those third-level weapon refiners and alchemists. If you want to buy these things, you can only endure the pain and buy them at high prices.
But if you know those third-level weapon refiners and alchemists, and have some friendship with them, you can directly negotiate with them to purchase. The purchase price at that time will definitely be far lower than the price in the store.
Yang Xingyan, the head of the Yang family in Jinquan Valley, initially gave Zhou Yang the evaluation of "The Purple Mansion is promising", which shows that he is optimistic about Zhou Yang's future.
As for the monks from other families who can build foundations, which one is not a human spirit?
Without any obvious grudge against the Zhou family, who would be willing to refuse to establish friendship with Zhou Yang?
Not to mention that Zhou Yang is still the patriarch of the Zhou family, a second-level high-grade weapon refiner who will definitely become a third-level weapon refiner in the future.
Therefore, Zhou Minghan only briefly introduced Zhou Yang's situation, and the foundation-building monks from other families smiled and said hello to him, and accepted him into the circle.
While Zhou Yang was talking to these foundation-building monks, he was also quietly looking at the altar used to perform the "Ten Thousand Miles Soul Chasing Technique".
The altar is in the shape of a trigram, with eight sides in total. It is nine feet high and about three feet in diameter. The entire altar is made of fine iron.
On each side of the altar in the shape of the Eight Trigrams, there is a black Dharma flag. On the flag's surface, runes that Zhou Yang cannot understand are written with cinnabar and blood ink used to draw spiritual talismans.
The ancestor of the Chen family is now sitting cross-legged on the altar with his eyes closed and meditating, but Zhang Yunpeng doesn't know where he has gone and has not seen anyone.
There was nothing interesting about the altar. After looking at it for a while, Zhou Yang looked away and turned to look at another person, a thin middle-aged man with a sheathed sword on his back and a silver-white Taoist robe.
This person is none other than Chen Ping'an, the first foundation-building monk of the Chen family, and the deceased brother of Chen Pingzhi.
When the ancestor of the Chen family investigated the cause of Chen Pingzhi's death, Chen Ping'an didn't know that his brother had died, but now he definitely knows.
Ever since Zhou Yang appeared, he always felt a scrutinizing gaze falling on him. He knew that it was Chen Pingan who was sizing him up.
After all, his brother died. Even if the ancestor of the Chen family used the "inquiry technique" to interrogate him, Chen Ping'an obviously had some opinions about him going out with Chen Pingzhi.
Zhou Yang felt a little frightened when he saw him like this. Finally, after thinking about it again and again, he stepped forward and saluted: "Junior has met Senior Chen. Regarding Senior Chen Pingzhi, I am very sorry..."
Before Zhou Yang could finish what he said, Chen Pingan waved his hand and interrupted: "Little friend, there is no need to say more. The ancestor has already investigated this matter clearly. You did nothing wrong. It was Pingzhi himself who was wrong, and neither did I."
Other than that, I just want to see my little friend!"
Look at me? I’m not a stunning beauty. What’s so good about me?
Zhou Yang was speechless and didn't really believe Chen Pingan's words.
But since the other party had said so, he would feel uncomfortable bringing it up again, so he could only bow with a wry smile and silently retreat.
In this way, when the sun turned to the west, the ancestor of the Chen family, who had been sitting cross-legged on the altar for a long time, finally stood up and stood up.
