The small island in the middle of the lake is arranged just as it was when Patriarch Yang was there.
On one side of the island, there is a floating island with gentle terrain and a slightly raised center. It is covered with moss and water plants, but there are not many trees.
Bai Zichen's sword light fell, and the floating island swayed, revealing two lantern-sized vertical pupils staring at him, giving him a feeling that had gone through the vicissitudes of time.
"Old Turtle, if you try your best, at least the Feiyue Lake side can be said to be as stable as Mount Tai..."
This floating island is clearly the thousand-year-old turtle that was adopted by Patriarch Yang as a spiritual beast.
Originally a second-level peak monster, Patriarch Yang spent a large sum of spirit stones and purchased several elixirs specially for spirit beasts with the Wanshou Sect.
There are those that enhance demonic power, those that accumulate energy and blood, and those that enlighten spiritual wisdom.
When Bai Zichen came to the island to pay his respects a few years ago, Patriarch Yang also said that the old turtle was only one step away from being a third-level spiritual beast.
The edges of the tortoise shell on the back of the thousand-year-old turtle are turning golden, and sharp teeth have grown in its mouth.
The two bulges on the top of the head are more obvious, as if something will come out of them at any time.
The dragon turtle bloodline is slowly manifesting.
Once it breaks through and becomes a third-level spiritual beast, it will be difficult for the dragon turtle to injure it even with its defensive capabilities.
But this last line, when it comes to tortoise spiritual beasts, is likely to be a concept that lasts for tens or even hundreds of years.
"Senior Brother Bai, you are here too... You killed a foundation-building demon cultivator a few days ago, which greatly boosted morale and inspired all the disciples in the sect."
A frail young man with a reserved temperament flew up from behind.
Following Bai Zichen's gaze, he saw the old turtle and said: "The ancestor went to the sect to untie the spiritual beast contract with it and signed a special contract... If it does not advance, it will have to be a sect for the rest of its life.
Sect spirit beast; if you become a third-level dragon turtle, you only need to guard the sect for five hundred years before you can be free."
The intelligence of third-level monsters has been awakened, and even some monsters with special bloodlines can refine their bones and speak human words.
Unless it is a natal spirit beast that has been cultivated since childhood, or the master's cultivation is stronger than at least not weaker than the spirit beast, otherwise the beast is strong and the man is weak, and it is easy for the spirit beast to resist the contract and be unable to control it.
If Patriarch Yang does not unlock the spirit beast contract, Old Turtle will die with him.
After breaking the contract, except for the ancestor Ge Cang, no one else in the sect could suppress the thousand-year-old turtle.
They simply made a relatively loose contract so that even if Lao Turtle succeeds in promotion, he can stay in Feiyue Lake willingly.
Maybe after 500 years, if a habit is formed and the old turtle regains his freedom, he may not leave.
Even if it fails, five hundred years can still be worth the life of Master Jiedan.
For the third-order dragon turtle, it is just a part of its long life.
"I see."
Bai Zichen withdrew his gaze and looked at the frail monk in front of him: "Junior Brother Su has hidden divine light, seems to have made a breakthrough?"
"It's just a trick, it's far behind Senior Brother Bai... In the first two months, I finally succeeded in drawing a second-level high-grade mountain shaking talisman, but only five talisman-making materials can be used to draw one. After two months of familiarity, the success has stabilized at more than half
He can barely be regarded as a second-level high-grade Talisman Master."
The sect war has become a rare opportunity for the disciples of the Alchemy Hall, Talisman Hall, and Weapon Refining Hall.
All the materials in the warehouse were opened and supplied in unlimited quantities. The furnace was opened to make elixirs every day, the earth fire was burning every night, precious talismans, blood of monsters and cinnabar were delivered like flowing water.
There are many disciples who have accumulated rich experience in the past few years and have reached a higher level in their various arts of cultivating immortals.
Compared with refining alchemy and refining weapons, talismans are more expensive and can be directly used in battles.
A second-level talisman master like Su Li works almost all year round and is reduced to a talisman-making machine.
The intense work squeezed out his potential in making talismans, and he performed even better in the talisman path than his master Luo Changkong did back then.
He is indeed a born spiritual body of Talismanism, and he has inherited the heritage of a fourth-level Talisman Master under the stone tablet.
"I told you back then that the way of the talisman is the same as the body and the heavenly mind. You can understand the great way... It is not a small way, but a noble and righteous way. There is no need to belittle yourself."
Bai Zichen discovered that since the establishment of the foundation, the proud genius of Fu Dao disappeared and became too humble and low-key.
On the small island in the middle of the lake, many foundation-building monks have already arrived.
In addition to the Qingfeng Sect monks, there were several nearby immortal cultivating families who also withdrew their clans into the Feiyue Lake formation because they were unable to resist the Ghost Spirit Sect's invasion.
For example, the Liu family of Hou'er Mountain spent a lot of money to acquire the second-level spiritual veins of Hou'er Mountain after the land reclamation war.
The entire family has worked hard and painstakingly to build the Houer Mountain, which will be passed down as a family legacy for generations to come.
Unexpectedly, we received the bad news that the Ghost Spirit Sect invaded Black Mountain, and had to abandon Houer Mountain and move the whole family to Feiyue Lake.
Anyway, the 3,600-ring hookah array covers a wide area, and it will be no problem to accommodate ten more Liu families.
For other immortal cultivating families, there is still the possibility of turning to the Ghost Spirit Sect.
Mr. Liu of Monkey Mountain had no such idea and had no choice but to follow the path of Qingfengmen to the end.
They moved to Heishan County from elsewhere, but they were affected by the war between good and evil and offended a demonic sect before they left their hometown.
Although I haven't heard of how close the Demonic Sect is to the Ghost Spirit Sect, the Liu family doesn't dare to take this risk.
In case the two demonic sects are connected, and a pair of two sides find out that the Liu family happens to be under the command of the Ghost Spirit Sect, they will directly sacrifice the entire Liu family to blood without passing a letter.
In the past few decades, one can imagine the depression of the Liu family after giving up their spiritual land and moving twice.
As soon as Bai Zichen appeared, both the sect elders and the family foundation-building monks stepped forward to say hello.
With a warm attitude and a soft and low-pitched tone, he completely regarded him as someone higher than himself and others.
It is true that Bai Zichen's achievements are too outstanding. Since the war started, nearly half of the Ghost Spirit Sect's Foundation Establishment monks have died at his hands.
There was no sign of any ghost spirit sect monks within a hundred miles of Feiyue Lake.
If you don't travel far, the surrounding area seems to be no different from before the war.
"Everyone is here. I'm calling everyone here mainly for two things."
Zhou Suqing is sitting at the top. As the only late-stage foundation-building overhaul in Feiyue Lake, she can be counted as the person in charge of this place.
However, although his cultivation level is high, he does not have enough prestige in the hearts of everyone. After all, his past achievements are too 'amazing'.
But Bai Zichen, the only one who could possibly challenge her position, had no idea and was even extremely cooperative, leaving people with some small ideas helpless.
'I'm so full that I'm going to compete with Senior Sister Zhou for the power to take charge of Feiyue Lake. It's ridiculous to have foreign enemies and internal discord... Besides, without her, who will control the third-order formation? It's up to me, the first-order one.
Are you a mid-level formation mage, or are you a bunch of trash?'
Bai Zichen's eyes turned cold as he thought about those guys who came to visit him several times but could not ask for permission and could only leave letters to instigate themselves to fight for power overtly or covertly.
In any crisis, only Elder Bai's intervention can stabilize the situation.
Junior Brother Bai has unparalleled combat prowess. The elder of the Law Enforcement Palace Supervisor is of noble status and has the same position as the Deputy Palace Master. He should bear more responsibilities.
As long as the junior brother is interested, Brother Yu is willing to take the initiative to propose at the meeting, and can even connect with other elders.
'The enemy is on the side. Once we defeat the Ghost Spirit Sect, I will clean you up as the prison elder...'
Zhou Suqing already had silver hair on her head and an aging face. In the past few years, she had been maintaining the formation on her own, activating the 3,600-ring shisha formation to the highest protective effect at all times. This had caused serious mental damage to her and made her full of fatigue.
There was originally an formation hall elder in Feiyue Lake, and he was a second-level formation master who could share some of the burden.
Unfortunately, when she returned to the mountain before the formation was launched, she was separated into two places and could not return. She had to sit at the core of the formation alone.
"Information came from the sect. A few days ago, when junior brother Luo Guangwu led a group of disciples to retreat into the mountain gate formation after performing a mission, he was entangled by the Ghost Spirit Sect foundation-building monks alone... In the end, he died unfortunately, but he was dragged away before his death.
Opponent, die with the enemy."
Zhou Suqing looked sad and first announced an obituary.
This is already the fifth foundation-building elder of Qingfeng Sect killed since the war began.
Between Feiyue Lake and the sect, extremely detailed information can be transmitted with the help of the third-level formation, but it only requires one high-grade spiritual stone to be consumed each time.
Therefore, Zhou Suqing basically only receives messages and never actively sends messages.
Bai Zichen was slightly stunned, recalling this scene with a somewhat unfamiliar name in his memory.
It was Senior Brother Luo who was known as the number one sword cultivator in Black Mountain before he established his own foundation.
It was Senior Brother Luo who pretended to be a senior swordsman and boasted that he wanted to teach and guide him.
It was Senior Brother Luo who lost his voice when he knew that he could kill the Golden-winged Lei Peng, and retreated in spite of the difficulties.
'I didn't expect that Senior Brother Luo was also dead. I couldn't tell that he was so strong. He lived up to what he said back then: "Sword cultivators like us are as strong as anyone and would rather break than bend..."
Although the two of them had no friendship and even had some minor conflicts, Bai Zichen still raised his teacup and saluted towards the sect, replaced the wine with tea, and sprinkled it on the ground.
"The second thing is that a new face of Master Jiedan has appeared in Black Mountain... Judging from his appearance and shooting habits, he should be Jiuzi Yinmo and Jiang Yuhe."
After a brief moment of silence, Zhou Suqing looked solemn and told the second, worse news.
"Nine Sons of Yin Demon?"
The face of the head of the Liu family changed drastically. He was someone who had personally experienced the battle between good and evil, and he knew a lot about the top monks of the demonic path.
"This demon plundered dozens of fairy seedlings in the territory of the Righteous Alliance, and sacrificed all of them with blood to enhance its own strength. Being chased by the Righteous Alliance, it had no way to escape, and surrendered to the disciples of the Blood God. How could it appear in Black Mountain?"
"Master Liu, since you understand this demon, please tell us clearly."
An impatient elder couldn't wait to listen to Zhou Suqing's words and directly asked about the head of the Liu family.
The news was really shocking. Finally, the situation of the battle turned around, and the Ghost Spirit Sect had two more pill-forming monks.
This will have a vital impact on the morale of Qingfeng Sect and the direction of the war situation.
"This demon cultivator was born, and he obtained a volume of the powerful demon cultivator's skills from thousands of years ago. He practiced with his sworn brother, and both of them formed elixirs..."
The head of the Liu family's voice trembled slightly, and one could see the terror in his heart.
In the early stage of Jiuzi Yin Demon's elixir formation, the demonic skills he cultivated produced nine naked babies, filled with overwhelming resentment, specializing in absorbing the souls of monks.
He has a cruel temperament and kills towns and cities at every turn. Even among demon cultivators, he is considered extremely vicious and can do all kinds of evil things.
