After slaying all the monsters in the Poison Dragon Pond, everyone could not carry too much monster materials due to insufficient storage bags. Zhang Zhixuan and Qingchan could only return to Lingjing Mountain with the corpse of the monster king, and then dispatch a large number of low-level soldiers.
The top monks rushed to the Poison Dragon Pond and transported a large amount of monster materials back to the sect's treasury.
It took half a month to transport these monster materials back to the sect.
In this battle, one sixth-level demon king, seven fifth-level demonic beasts, more than 60 fourth-level demonic beasts, and more than a thousand demonic beasts below fourth-level were killed.
The total value of this batch of monster materials is about 10 million spirit stones.
Relying on this batch of monster materials, Zhang Zhixuan personally refined sixty furnaces of foundation-building pills. He is the top fifth-level high-grade alchemist, and the pill-formation rate can be controlled at around 89%.
After opening the furnace sixty times, the resulting foundation-building pills are about 500.
Relying on these five hundred foundation-building pills, in just ten years, the number of foundation-building monks in the sect increased by about 400.
After twenty years of training, the number of monks in the foundation-building period of the sect has returned to the level at the time of the Lingjing Mountain battle.
During these ten years, Zhang Yunlan and Wang Jingcheng also refined the inner elixir of the demonic beast.
This is the second time for the two of them to break through the golden elixir, and the success rate is about 50% to 60%.
Wang Jingcheng's breakthrough went very smoothly. In the second year after refining the demon elixir, he successfully advanced to the golden elixir stage, finally adding a golden elixir helper to the sect.
Zhang Yunlan was not lucky enough. If she was a little negligent, she would eventually fall short, and her many years of hard work would be in vain.
However, she was very lucky, and she happened to catch up with the critical moment when the sect was in decline.
At this time, the Ziyang Sect only had three people on the ninth floor of the Purple Mansion, and the number of Jindan monks was far from enough.
Even if their performance is unsatisfactory, the sect can only bite the bullet and invest more in these people.
Behind Zhang Yunlan's group are Zhang Huangyang and Liang Yuxian, two late-stage cultivators from the Purple Mansion. Although these two people cannot be said to be mediocre, their qualifications, age and other conditions are slightly worse than Zhang Yunlan's.
Catching up with such a good opportunity, Zhang Yunlan practiced for five years with the help of the sect and used the pill-forming spiritual object for the third time.
This time she finally lived up to expectations and successfully refined the golden elixir.
After three breakthroughs and consuming spiritual objects worth millions of spiritual stones, Zhang Yunlan only accumulated 200,000 good deeds and owed a debt of 800,000 good deeds.
On the premise of not affecting cultivation, it will take about two hundred years to pay off the debt.
Wang Jingcheng and Zhang Yunlan formed elixirs, and finally made up for the gap caused by the heavy losses to the golden elixir monks caused by the battle at Lingjing Mountain.
However, Zhou Huayang, Wang Chengxiang, and You Nianwei are still recuperating from their injuries. Lu Hongniang and Tang Fenglan still have to train for thirty years, and the number of Ziyang Sect's golden elixir monks is still far from enough.
Zhang Yunlan and Wang Jingcheng formed elixirs, which finally allowed Ziyang Sect to mobilize some manpower. After forming elixirs, Wang Jingcheng was sent to Danxia Mountain to take over Xia Youqing's duties. Zhang Yunlan was also sent to Da Zhou to garrison in Jiangyang Chengfang City.
Although they signed a contract with the Guiyi Sect Yuanying, without their own people to keep an eye on it, the Ziyang Sect couldn't get much of Jiangyang Chengfang City's income at all.
Establishing a stronghold in Dazhou has great benefits.
Dazhou is well-informed and rich in products, making it easier to collect various high-level spiritual objects.
After the battle at Lingjing Mountain, after twenty-two years of recuperation, the Ziyang Sect finally took a breath of relief and stabilized its decline.
In the past ten years, the cultivation level of Yuanying monk has also improved.
After more than 200 years of hard training, Liu Lingjun broke through the fifth level of the Nascent Soul two years ago and made further progress in his cultivation.
Her lifespan is just over a thousand years old. If her future path is smoother, she should be able to cultivate to the late Nascent Soul stage before she undergoes the tribulation.
With the foundation laid in the first life, the practice after the tribulation will be of great benefit.
Although Zhang Zhixuan's cultivation level has not broken through, the crack on the Chunyang Baoding has been repaired. As his cultivation level becomes higher and higher, this magical weapon will slowly recover.
Zhang Zhixuan has been cultivating the Pure Yang Baoding for two years. Although he has now refined it into Yuanying, it is a pity that he still cannot use the power of this Yuanshen magic weapon. Even if he has mastered the complete treasure refining technique, it is a pity that his own magic power is far away.
Far from enough.
It is estimated that he will have to wait until he breaks through to the late Nascent Soul stage before he can truly refine this treasure.
This semi-immortal treasure is rare among the ten major sects of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
As far as Zhang Zhixuan knows, although the ten major sects of the Great Zhou Dynasty all had Yuanshen monks in their ancestors, three of them have lost Yuanshen treasures.
From this aspect, Ziyang Sect's foundation is already superior to that of some large sects.
After killing the Qingtong Demon King, Qingchan used the demon king's essence and blood combined with a piece of fifth-grade high-grade cinnabar to refine the Blood Spirit Ink, and then used the Dragon Reverse Scale to refine a sixth-grade low-grade Ice Soul Mysterious Light Talisman.
Qing Chan is a sixth-level top-grade talisman maker. Even in the entire Nanya Prefecture, there are few talisman makers who are better than her.
According to Zhang Zhixuan's understanding, Chu Yangtai of Bixia Palace can rival her in the art of making talismans.
Among the ten major sects of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there is only this sixth-level high-grade talisman-making master.
However, Chu Yangtai was born in one of the ten major sects and could collect more and more precious high-level spiritual objects. He had practiced for two generations and had more experience in making talismans than Qing Chan. He had already made three sixth-level high-grade spiritual talismans.
In his previous life, Qingchan was born in a small sect in the Southern Wilderness. His sect's background was insufficient, and the accumulation time was relatively short, so he could only make a Purple Sun Sky Fire Talisman.
However, she integrated her magical power into the Purple Sun Sky Fire Talisman. After making this magical talisman, Liu Xuanyan's magical power was weakened by about half, so she soon passed the magic talisman to her disciples and quietly reversed the tribulation in Lingjing Mountain.
Because of this reason, the power of the Purple Sun Sky Fire Talisman is about 30 to 40% greater than that of ordinary sixth-level high-grade spiritual talismans.
This Ice Soul Mysterious Light Talisman is already the only sixth-level spiritual talisman in the Ziyang Sect. This talisman was stored in the sect's treasury by Zhang Zhixuan, and is regarded as a treasure to suppress the sect's destiny.
Seeing that the sect gradually began to regain its vitality, Zhang Zhixuan was able to spare time and prepare to go to the top of Wuyun Mountain to help Ma Chunsheng's remains reincarnate.
This matter has been delayed for two decades, and now Zhang Zhixuan has become a Nascent Soul and is somewhat sure to sneak into the Wuyun Sect.
However, the Wuyun Sect is well-known in Qingli Sea and its own strength is quite strong. If you want to enter the important place of the Wuyun Sect, I am afraid it will take Zhang Zhixuan a long time to plan.
Because this trip was relatively dangerous, Qing Chan was worried that Zhang Zhixuan would encounter an accident, so they decided to act together and first go to the vicinity of Wuyun Sect to find out the news.
Through the Dafang Island teleportation array, it took the two of them three months to reach the territory of Wuyun Sect.
In order to avoid being in the limelight, they all used breathing techniques to maintain their cultivation in the foundation building stage, preparing to find a foothold in Wuyun City.
It's a pity that more than half a year has passed, and the two of them still have no clue, and they haven't thought of any way to sneak into Wuyun Sect.
"Perhaps we can discuss it with the Yuanying monks of Wuyun Sect and see if they are willing to agree to this request."
"The top of Wuyun Mountain is the place where the ancestor of Wuyun broke through the two realms and ascended. It has an extraordinary status in Wuyun Sect. We can only think about this matter. Wuyun Sect Yuanying will never agree to this kind of thing.
Request. This kind of thought must not be entertained. If the news is leaked, the Wuyun Sect will definitely be on guard. They will still find a way to sneak into Wuyun Mountain Peak and send Senior Ma into the crater."
