[Dongrai Fairy Island] is undoubtedly a very suitable place for seclusion and practice.
There is a seventh-level immortal formation guarding the place outside, so it is absolutely safe. Inside, there are beautiful mountains and clear waters, rich spiritual energy, and no outsiders have disturbed it.
After Zhou Yang lived in seclusion here for a hundred years, he fell in love with this kind of life and even had the idea of living here in seclusion from now on.
It is absolutely safe here. He practices the "Three Treasures of Good Luck" every day, extracts his own energy and spirit to condense the "Three Treasures of Good Will", and it only takes half a day to complete, and then the rest of the time can be arranged as he likes.
And because after extracting the energy and energy, he is not in a good state to understand the laws or use a lot of mana, so his time schedule is actually reading, making tea, fishing, barbecue and other activities to relax his mind.
After practicing immortality for seventeen or eight hundred years, this is the first time Zhou Yang has experienced such a long and comfortable life.
I have to say, this kind of life is actually very good.
There is no pressure from cultivation, no pressure from external enemies, and no pressure from within. You can just do whatever you want to do.
This kind of life is his ideal immortal and free life, and it is the life he truly pursues and longs for.
Sometimes he would even think that even if he could not become an immortal, if he could live happily for thousands of years, his life would not be in vain.
Of course, this kind of thought would only occur occasionally when he was resting, and would not really affect his heart of seeking the truth.
A hundred years later, his "Three Treasures of Good Luck" were almost as expected, and one-third of them had been condensed. It would not be a big problem to complete them in another two hundred years.
At the same time, under the careful care of the two dragons, the five [Dragon Blood Sacred Jade Fruits] on the [Dragon Blood Sacred Tree] have also changed in color to purple, and are not far away from being completely mature.
And Qin Yue'er, who was practicing in seclusion on the Immortal Island, also successfully reached the sixth level of Nascent Soul.
Qin Yue'er possesses the [Xuanyin Spirit Body], and her talent and qualifications are among the top in the world, and the environment at [Donglai Immortal Island] is also very suitable for her hidden cultivation, so her cultivation level will naturally increase very quickly.
Xiao Ying, after using a large number of sixth-level demon elixirs and sixth-level elixirs brought back by Zhou Yang from the Yulong family to refine a batch of sixth-level elixirs, is currently in seclusion to attack the sixth level of Nascent Soul.
Zhou Yang naturally has various preferences for his Taoist companions. Not only does he often use [Qianyang Immortal Light] to help her temper her body and eliminate erysipelas, but he also often uses the technique of double cultivation to help her practice.
"Young Daoist Zhou seems to be very satisfied with this secluded life. I thought that someone like you, who is used to fighting on the battlefield and is dedicated to seeking the truth, might never be able to live this kind of life!"
On this day, Zhou Yang was fishing and reading by a spiritual lake on Xiandao Island, when Qin Yue'er's voice, as clear and sweet as clear spring water, rang in his ears.
He put down the jade slip in his hand, turned around and saw Qin Yue'er in a white skirt, hanging next to him like a fairy from the Moon Palace, looking at him curiously.
Seeing this, he couldn't help but smile and shake his head and said: "Fellow Daoist Qin is joking, who wouldn't like such a carefree life? Isn't it just to be able to live such a carefree life? Zhou Mou risked his life and fought for the truth with all his heart.
Life? How can I not get used to it!"
When Qin Yue'er heard what he said, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and asked softly: "Now that Fellow Daoist Zhou has lived such a life, and there are not many people in this world who can threaten Fellow Daoist Zhou, why is Fellow Daoist Zhou still so desperate?"
What about practicing that kind of secret method? Aren’t fellow Taoists worried that after working hard for three hundred years, they will still get nothing in the end, and that their hard work will be wasted?"
Zhou Yang continued to shake his head and replied somewhat amusingly: "Fellow Daoist Qin is joking again. Overcoming the tribulation and becoming an immortal is the biggest goal of immortal cultivators like us. Since Zhou is now only one step away from achieving this goal, he has the opportunity to stand
How can we not try every means possible in front of the door? Even if it fails in the end as fellow Taoist Qin said, at least there will be no regrets!"
After saying that, he looked at Qin Yue'er with a hint of surprise and asked: "Zhou heard what fellow Taoist Qin said. Fellow Taoist doesn't seem to have any expectations about overcoming the tribulation and becoming an immortal? Why is this?"
Zhou Yang actually didn't know much about Qin Yue'er.
Although the Qin Yue'er he knew before and the Qin Yue'er now are the same person, their personalities are completely different.
And for some reasons, he has always deliberately avoided being alone with Qin Yue'er and avoided communicating with her that had nothing to do with business.
If Qin Yue'er hadn't come to talk to him today, he would never have taken the initiative to find her.
But it was also the conversation just now that made him a little curious about Qin Yue'er, a woman who had experienced ups and downs.
She clearly has the world's top talents and qualifications, and she clearly has the opportunity to overcome the calamity and become an immortal, but why doesn't she seem to have that idea?
Faced with his question, Qin Yue'er did not answer and asked instead: "What is the purpose of Zhou Daoyou wanting to overcome the tribulation and become an immortal? Is it to be able to continue to make the Zhou family prosperous for thousands of years? Or is it invincible in this world? Or is it just that?
To extend your life for thousands of years?”
"Yes, these are the reasons mentioned by Fellow Daoist Qin, but the reason why Zhou wants to overcome the calamity and become an immortal is far more than that!"
Zhou Yang looked at Qin Yue'er seriously, and said in a deep voice as if he was talking to her, but also as if he was talking to himself: "Zhou wants to overcome the calamity and become an immortal, and wants to know the difference between true immortals and ordinary cultivators.
What's the difference? I want to go to the upper world and have a glimpse of the legendary fairyland scenery. I even want to conform to the way of heaven and become an immortal who will live forever and live the same life as heaven!"
"Yes! Fellow Daoist Zhou, you have many reasons to support your desire to overcome the tribulation and become an immortal. You have been working hard for this goal for more than a thousand years. Of course, you will not be willing and willing to stop at the door of becoming an immortal!"
Qin Yue'er nodded slightly in agreement with what he said, her face full of emotion.
Then he muttered to himself as if he was asking and answering questions: "But I and Zhou Daoyou are different. I don't have a family or relatives to take care of and protect, and I don't have any enemies who need to improve my cultivation in order to take revenge. So I am now
I’m very confused, why am I still trying to practice hard now?”
"In the past, it could be said that I was able to help fellow Taoist Zhou and repay his life-saving kindness, but now with Zhou Daoyou's cultivation strength, I am afraid that there is no place where I can use my help, and my longevity is
It doesn’t seem to be longer than Zhou Daoyouhui!”
"Then, Fellow Daoist Zhou, can you tell me why I have to work hard to practice? Why do I expect to survive the tribulation and become an immortal?"
At the end of her sentence, she looked at Zhou Yang with a confused look on her face, her eyes full of doubts.
When Zhou Yang heard her words, he was a little dumb for a moment and didn't know how to answer her.
From Qin Yue'er's words, Zhou Yang could tell that she had a mental problem, but Zhou Yang had no idea how to help her solve this problem.
As Qin Yue'er said herself, she had no motivation to drive her to practice hard or to pursue a higher realm.
Although she is already a sixth-level Nascent Soul monk and has lived for almost two thousand years, her heart is like that of a young child, simple and innocent, without any pressure or worries.
This is related to her special experience. After coming out of [Kunxu Realm], she was in the Nascent Soul stage. But at that time, she was reborn and lost all her past memories.
Under such circumstances, even if she often went out to travel to the world of immortality later on, it would only enrich her knowledge at most.
She has no enemies, because no blind person would find trouble for a Nascent Soul monk.
Even if she encounters someone who troubles her after hiding her cultivation, she can easily solve the trouble after revealing her cultivation.
She has no motivation to improve, because she is extremely talented and has no lack of cultivation resources, so she can easily reach the Nascent Soul stage.
However, the improvement of her cultivation level did not bring her anything worth being excited about. She actually lacked an opportunity to prove the results of her hard work.
"Perhaps, let her go out and find a fight with a monk or demon king who is stronger than her?"
"Or let a monk and demon king who is stronger than her mock and insult her to give her the motivation to become stronger and take revenge?"
Various ideas came to Zhou Yang's mind, but they were all so bad that he shook his head.
Qin Yue'er is just simple-minded, not stupid, and she doesn't like to be competitive at all.
Deliberately asking her to challenge the powerful demon king and immortal cultivator, let alone whether she would be willing to go, even if she went, it might not have much effect.
It is even more difficult for monks and demon kings who are stronger than her to mock and insult her. She is already a sixth-level Nascent Soul monk. There are several monks and demon kings who are stronger than her who are willing to do this for nothing.
To blame her?
Besides, even though Zhou Yang is powerful, he can't possibly use violence to accomplish this!
After pondering for a long time, he finally shook his head slightly and said: "Zhou cannot answer Taoist friend Qin's question, but since you are already used to practicing, let's continue practicing. It's good to just let everything happen, or you can read more every day."
Read the book, and maybe at some point you will have a flash of inspiration and become enlightened."
"I understand, I will consider Fellow Daoist Zhou's opinion."
Qin Yue'er nodded slightly with confused eyes, obviously not listening to Zhou Yang's words.
But Zhou Yang couldn't help but shake his head when he saw her floating away.
Qin Yue'er's situation can no longer be summed up as a pure heart and a few desires. He is simply a "sage" who has no desires or desires and is not moved by external things.
To say that her heart is like a child's is actually simpler than that.
At least children will cry when they are hungry, they will cry when they are in pain, and they will cry when they lose their toys.
But she couldn't cry or laugh, just like a stone without emotional fluctuations.
Zhou Yang estimated that her situation was probably related to her own [Xuan Yin Body] and the fact that she was almost made into a living corpse by the [Tiansha Corpse King].
How to solve this situation, Zhou Yang really didn't know for a while.
However, he took this situation seriously. After a few decades passed and Taoist companion Xiao Ying was successfully promoted to the sixth level of Nascent Soul and released from seclusion, he also informed her of the matter and asked her to see if she could find a way to solve it.
this matter.
"Actually, I have discovered some abnormalities in this matter a long time ago. Yue'er seems to be as gentle as water, but in fact she is colder than Xuewei inside. My husband, you used to travel a lot, so you only discovered this now!"
Xiao Ying sighed softly, with a worried look on her face.
She has been with Qin Yue'er for hundreds of years, and of course she understands Qin Yue'er's situation better than Zhou Yang, but she doesn't seem to have any good ideas.
Seeing this, Zhou Yang waved his hands speechlessly and said: "Anyway, Ying'er, give it a try. If it doesn't work, forget it. It's not a big problem for her to be like this. At most, her path will be cut off in the future and she will have no hope of becoming an immortal!"
Since he himself doesn't care whether he can overcome the calamity and become an immortal, why should he worry about him?
Zhou Yang ignored this matter and continued to live his own comfortable and secluded life.
However, he could ignore this matter, but Xiao Ying really took it seriously. She often went to Qin Yue'er for guidance, and even brought the two female demon kings Qingluo and Yinling together to discuss a solution.
I don't know what Xiao Ying said to Qin Yue'er in the end. Qin Yue'er's originally confused and lazy mentality really changed. She began to practice hard and even accepted the pill gift from Xiao Ying.
.
After Zhou Yang knew about this, he was very curious for a while, but when he asked Xiao Ying, Xiao Ying also refused to disclose it because she needed to keep it confidential, so he didn't bother to ask.
Anyway, as long as the person gets better, why should he bother to get to the bottom of it?
Time flies, and two hundred years after Zhou Yang arrived at [Donglai Immortal Island], the five [Dragon Blood Sacred Jade Fruits] have completely matured and turned into purple gold.
However, because he needed to condense the "Three Treasures of Ruyi", he could not take it for the time being, so he picked it first and put it away. Then he asked the two dragons to continue cultivating new spiritual fruits, and promised that they would also take the spiritual fruits to improve their cultivation in the future.
.
With his promise, the two dragons naturally became more concerned about this matter.
After Zhou Yang came to [Donglai Immortal Island] and practiced in seclusion for three hundred years, he finally completed the [Three Treasures of Ruyi Jue] and successfully condensed a complete "Three Treasures of Ruyi" in his body.
This "Three Treasures Ruyi" has three colors of white, red and gold. The white represents the divine treasure, the red represents the essence treasure, and the gold represents the qi treasure. Since it was successfully condensed, it was caught in the hands of Zhou Yang's Nascent Soul.
After he successfully condensed the "Three Treasures", as soon as his energy and spirit recovered, he immediately swallowed five [Dragon Blood Sacred Jade Fruits], using the power of the medicine to reshape the foundation of his "Canglong Body Refining Technique" and strengthen it.
physical body.
After ten years of practice, Zhou Yang finally took a step further physically and reached the limit that a monk in the Nascent Soul stage can achieve.
If he enters the half-human and half-dragon state at this time, the dragon scale defense will not be inferior to that of a dragon king like the Black Dragon King. Coupled with his [Vajra Immortal Body] in the Dacheng realm, even the Black Dragon King will be far behind in terms of defense.
Not as good as him.
With his physical body reaching its limit, his spiritual consciousness reaching its limit, and the "Three Treasures Ruyi" being successfully condensed, Zhou Yang had a strong urge to once again hit the tribulation stage on the [Donglai Immortal Island].
But he finally resisted the urge because the place was not suitable.
[Donglai Fairy Island] is a good fairyland, but compared with [Qingtian Fairyland], it is still a little inferior.
What's more, he has been living in seclusion for more than three hundred years, and he doesn't know what is going on with the Zhou family. He must at least go back and take a look before he can enter the tribulation period with peace of mind.
