In the twenty-six years since Zhang Zhixuan went to Xiyaozhou, two more people from the Ziyang Sect successfully formed elixirs.
One is Zhang Sihong and the other is Tang Yinsheng.
Both of these people were forming pills for the second time. Zhang Sihong relied mainly on Han Yan and other tribesmen to form pills. The Tiantai Peak tribe raised 300,000 spirit stones for him. He had a good chance and waited until the Five Elements Spirit Fruit matured in Huoshan City, and he formed the pills in one go.
Dan succeeded.
Tang Yisheng's path became smoother. The treasure ship fleet on the Qingli Sea side encountered a lone fifth-level monster. After hunting it, he brought the monster pill back to the sect. With the help of his brothers, he successfully gathered it together.
After collecting 300,000 good deeds, I redeemed the demon pill and made it successfully.
Wei Jinwen, another fake elixir monk in the sect, had no one to support him. He had already exhausted his good deeds by redeeming the demon elixir for the first time. At this critical moment, he could not compete with Zhang Sihong and Tang Yisheng, and in the end he could only look at the two of them.
Be the first to break through to the golden elixir realm.
After returning to Tianyuan Island, Zhang Zhixuan and his wife stopped by the Netherworld Cave to visit Han Yan and others.
In recent years, due to the strict rules of Ziyang Sect, seventy or eighty monks who violated the rules have gathered here.
Among these people, some have reached the Golden Elixir level, while some are only at the Foundation Establishment level.
They were punished to guard the Netherworld Cave for different times.
Tang Fenglan, who is guilty of the least serious crime, will be able to leave in another four years. Han Yan, who is guilty of a slightly heavier crime, will have to spend thirty-four years in the Netherworld Cave to atone for his sins. Li Lingxiu, who is guilty of the most serious crime, will have to wait a hundred and ten years to come out.
It takes many years.
Being severely punished for violating the sect rules, Li Lingxiu had deep resentment towards the sect's senior officials.
The dark wind is raging in the Netherworld Cave, and it is impossible to make any progress in cultivation. If you want to maintain your cultivation, you have to consume a lot of spiritual stones.
She was punished by the sect rules and did not make offerings every year. Li Lingxiu had just formed elixirs and had no good deeds. She had to rely on the support of Chen Yunfeng, Xia Youqing and other elders to maintain her cultivation over the years.
Li Lingxiu admitted that he was severely punished for violating the sect rules, but there were many monks who committed murders and seized treasures. Almost all the previous Jindan monks of the sect, such as Jin Patriarch and others, had done the same thing.
Not punishing others but only targeting herself caused Li Lingxiu to accumulate countless resentments in her heart.
The rules are too strict and the rewards and punishments are unfair, which cannot convince her at all.
It was only in recent years, after Han Yan and Tang Fenglan were punished into the cave, that her thoughts changed.
Tang Fenglan is Yuan Ying's direct disciple and the person who has the opportunity to conceive a baby. Han Yan is a close relative of the head of the family, and his qualifications are also supernatural.
They were all promising people, close relatives and heirs of the sect's leader. They were all punished for violating the sect's rules, which made Li Lingxiu feel fair.
After Zhang Zerui was executed by the sect's rules, Li Lingxiu felt that the leader was not deliberately targeting her to suppress them from the Huanshui Sect.
There are two layers of defense in the Netherworld Cave. The outer layer of defense is dominated by Chen Yunfeng, who has deployed a sixth-level low-level formation. There are also nine Zifu, more than 30 foundation builders, and thousands of monks in the Qi training period who maintain the formation all year round.
Remaining people.
This group of disciples are all from the mainland of Qingli Sea. They are disciple soldiers who came out of Dafang Island, Huangsha Island, Quyang Island and other islands. The leader is Yu Wancheng, a disciple of Zhang Zhixuan.
This person is over three hundred years old, and his cultivation has reached the seventh level of the Purple Mansion. It seems that he should have the opportunity to hit the Golden Core realm.
This group of people have all benefited from the rapid expansion of Ziyang Sect's strength, and they have all caught up with the good times. In the 210 years since Zhang Zhixuan was transferred to Qingli Sea, the seven foundation-building monks from Dafang Island have now grown to nine monks from Zifu.
There are more than 200 foundation-building monks. In two or three hundred years, some of this group of people will be able to cultivate to the golden elixir realm.
Nowadays, the high-level monks of Ziyang Sect are all from Nanya Prefecture. In more than a thousand years, only one third will be from Qinglihai.
After all, the Ziyang Sect already controls tens of millions of mortals on the Qingli Sea side, and its material supply is much better than that of Nanya Prefecture.
Chen Yunfeng, together with this group of disciples, and the sixth-level low-grade mountain-protecting formation, are enough to defeat the general army of Nascent Soul ghost cultivators.
Moreover, there is a layer of defense inside the cave that serves as an early warning. The defense of the inner layer completely relies on Han Yan and other people who violate the sect rules. These people have set up a small-scale formation. The grade of the formation is the fifth-level high-grade, relying on the formation of the inner layer.
The law can effectively support Chen Yunfeng.
Jian Hanyan is in good condition. Although his face is a little pale, his heart is very calm. Even if he can't make an inch of progress in his cultivation, as long as he resolves the obsessions in his heart, it will still be beneficial to his future practice.
Han Yan is different from ordinary golden elixirs in that she has someone behind her to support her. She has a high probability of obtaining the infant-forming spiritual object. Her cultivation does not need to advance by leaps and bounds, she only needs to follow the steps step by step and lay a solid foundation at every step.
Seeing Han Yan, Zhang Zhixuan said happily: "Seeing that you have a good attitude, I feel relieved."
Han Yan smiled and said: "Although life is difficult in Netherworld Cave, I have let go of my obsessions and my heart is very peaceful. While you two are coming to Netherworld Cave, we also have an important matter for you to decide.
"
"What is it?"
Han Yan said: "There is a torrent mountain eight thousand miles southeast of this place. A few years ago, a ghost king migrated here. This ghost king made waves several times and wanted to break through the seal of the formation. Although with the cooperation of us and Uncle Chen, there has been no success.
He succeeded, but the pressure on the Netherworld Cave has been increasing day by day in recent years.
Four of the six fifth-level high-grade spiritual talismans you left us back then have been consumed. If you two don't come, in a few years we will also prepare to apply for reinforcements from the sect to expel the ghost king of Riptide Mountain and protect the peace here. After all, Senior Sister Tang will never come again.
I will regain my freedom in a few years, and I won’t be able to stay for long. Relying on Junior Sister Li’s golden elixir alone, I’m afraid I won’t be able to withstand the attacks of nearby ghost cultivators.”
Zhang Zhixuan nodded and said: "Don't worry, after Feng Lan leaves, the sect will naturally send someone to take over. Besides, anyone who violates the sect rules in the future will be dispatched to Netherworld Cave. Don't worry about no one available. Nanya Prefecture is not in good condition for the time being.
Tiao Ren, what is the cultivation level of the ghost king in Riliu Mountain, and how many ghost troops are under his command? After including me and Qing Chan, are we sure of victory?"
"The Ghost King has not been migrating to Riliu Mountain for a long time, and his foundation is not stable. He does not have a powerful ghost army under his command. If he was powerful, we would have asked for reinforcements from the mountain gate. The Ghost King's cultivation level is only at the early stage of Nascent Soul, and his subordinates are at the Core Formation stage.
There are only five or six ghost cultivators nearby, and together with the low-level miscellaneous soldiers, there are more than 10,000 ghost troops."
In the Netherworld Cave, ghost cultivators occupy a favorable location and have a steady supply of ghost energy. Human cultivators, on the other hand, suffer from heavy losses due to fighting in this environment.
Moreover, in the Netherworld Cave, subject to the rules, the power of ghost cultivators' spells will be increased by three points, while the monks' magical powers will be weakened by several percent.
Due to internal and external factors, even Qingchan's magical power can only barely equal the fourth-level ghost cultivator of Nascent Soul in the Netherworld.
Zhang Zhixuan thought about it for a while and felt that if he wanted to win, he would need to recruit some people from Nanya Prefecture.
Even though the two Nascent Souls are temporarily unable to spare their time, the deployment of some Jindan Zifu can also play a big role.
