After officially entering the eighth-grade Zhoutian realm, Jiang Wang adjusted the number of daily Chongmai practice back to twice in the morning and evening.
In the following practice, we no longer pursue the speed of condensing the Tao Xuan. Instead, we must actively slow down and stabilize the foundation.
He built Xiao Sancai and completed Xiao Zhou Tian naturally. However, the accumulation of Da Zhou Tian was not enough.
But even so, with the Star-Entered Spirit Snake and the three Galaxy Dao Xuan, the number of Dao Yuans born in Jiang Wang Tongtian Palace every day has reached thirty-three, which means that it takes almost ten days to build a new Dao Xuan.
Jiang Wang happened to spend a lot of Dao Yuan practicing Taoism and sharpening his foundation in the Zhoutian realm.
Now among the brothers, Jiang Wang and Du Yehu are both eighth-grade Zhoutian realm monks.
For Du Yehu to be able to achieve this speed of cultivation in the army, in addition to following the path of an ancient military strategist who channeled qi and blood, he must also have achieved great success in the Four Spirits Body Refining Technique. At this point, he was far ahead of Jiang Wang.
Zhao Rucheng quietly completed the foundation laying and caught up with Ling He's cultivation.
Two ninth-level Youmai Realm monks and one eighth-level Zhoutian Realm monk can already independently form a team to complete some slightly more difficult tasks.
The Taoist cultivators’ thirst for Taoism is never-ending.
For example, Ling He and Zhao Rucheng must each be equipped with at least one magic weapon, and the two lowest-level magic weapons also require one thousand points of Taoism. For example, some powerful Taoisms other than conventional Taoisms can have an immediate effect on improving combat effectiveness.
It also requires a certain amount of Daoxun to exchange. Another example is that Jiang Wang wants to exchange Jiang Anan for a better pulse-opening pill, but he doesn't even know the price now, so he can only save as much as possible.
Therefore, we must actively do tasks and actively challenge ourselves.
It can not only hone the world's feelings, verify what you have learned, but also help build the country. It must be said that the first person to establish the Daoxun system was truly a great talent who had a thorough understanding of the world's feelings.
Although Huang Azhan always hangs out with them, as the previous senior brother, he also has a fixed team.
Generally, the team that works together all year round is limited to five people.
Although Jiang Wang's team only consists of three people, they cannot be said to be weak.
When Jiang Wang was unable to lay the foundation stone, no one thought that he would advance to the Zhoutian Realm so quickly.
Others don't even know how strong Jiang Wang is now, who fought crazily in the Taixu illusion and used "gong" to pave the way to hone himself.
Although he entered the Zhoutian Realm not long ago, if the Three Cities Forum is reopened now, he is confident that he can compete for the top position among the three-year students.
In terms of cultivation and combat power, Jiang Wang is already ahead. But Ling He is still the captain.
This has been the case as early as the outer sect period. Ling He is thoughtful and prudent in his actions. Although he does not seem to have a clear sense of presence, he is the most infallible character. Moreover, he is also the most popular in the Taoist temple.
For the remaining two vacancies in the team, Jiang Wang and others decided to fill them among the junior disciples in the coming year. If there are no suitable ones, they would rather leave them empty.
The same team has to face too many tests, and it is very important to be congenial. One more person does not mean more combat power. Sometimes one inappropriate person can kill the entire team.
The first mission the team received after it was formed was the eighth-level mission.
Moreover, it is a designated task directly issued to them by the Taoist Academy, and they cannot refuse. Of course, the Taoist reward will also be increased by 30% as usual.
The background of the mission is not complicated:
A full team of Taoist disciples were wiped out while on a mission to hunt down two Zuo Dao demons, with only one Youmai Realm monk surviving.
According to the intelligence, the cultivation level of these two Zuo Daoists is only ninth level. And this Taoist team has two eighth-level Zhou Tian Realm monks and three ninth-level Youmai Realm monks. Logically speaking, this is a sure thing.
What the Linghe team has to do is to investigate the truth behind this mission.
The only survivor of this mission was Fang Heling.
…
Bite the bullet and return to the Fang family, Jiang Wang's mood is undoubtedly very complicated.
He drank happily here and also escaped death here.
But what surprised him was that in the entire Fang family land, the Fang clan members were in a hurry, and few paid them any attention. Of course, there was no hostility or hatred as expected.
Zhao Rucheng and Jiang Wang looked at each other and stopped a passing woman.
"Hello, girl, where is Fang Heling?"
This woman was originally very impatient, but when she saw Zhao Rucheng's handsome face, she softened a bit and flipped her hair: "You ask the young patriarch..."
Young patriarch?
Zhao Rucheng became a little interested and said with a smile: "We are all disciples of the Taoist Academy. If you have anything to do, please contact Junior Brother Fang. Is it convenient for me to let you know?"
Hearing that Zhao Rucheng claimed to be a disciple of the Taoist Academy and was Fang Heling's senior brother, the woman had completely dispelled her resentment at being stopped on the way, and her smile became extraordinarily bright: "Young patriarch is at home! The road here is busy, I will lead you there.
"
As she spoke, she guided Zhao Rucheng forward, completely ignoring Ling He and Jiang Wang next to him from beginning to end.
"In this case, I'll help you, girl." Zhao Rucheng smiled softly, like a spring breeze bringing warmth.
The two chatted happily along the way, with Linghe Jiang Wang following behind silently. By the time they reached the door of Fang Heling's house, the two had almost begun to exchange birthdays and horoscopes with each other.
After volunteering to explain her intention to the concierge, the woman reluctantly left.
Zhao Rucheng said goodbye to her with a smile, turned around and smiled: "It's interesting."
The interesting thing is of course not this girl.
In the exchange just now, they were already aware of the changes in the Fang family.
The old patriarch of the Fang family, who had been in bed for many years, passed away just a few days ago, and Fang Zehou, the de facto patriarch of the Fang family, naturally changed from false to true.
But now it is the "young patriarch" Fang Heling who actually calls the shots in the Fang family.
Because after Fang Zehou became the clan leader, he had handed over all the power of the clan to his son.
It is true that this is a matter of time, and it is natural to pave the way for his son. But it feels a little too eager to others. And Fang Zehou is young and powerful, so he should not retire so early.
While they were thinking about it, the concierge had already reported back.
Fang Heling didn't put on any airs and just followed the concierge out of the door. Her expression wasn't very good, but she wasn't too rude either.
This is actually an improvement. With his past personality, Jiang Wang would have thought he would make a scene no matter what.
"What's the matter?" he asked Ling He.
"That's right, Junior Brother Fang." Ling He explained: "About the mission you experienced before..."
"I have explained that mission very clearly. The Taoist Court and the Criminal Investigation Department have records." Fang Heling interrupted him: "You can go and look at it instead of asking me again. You have no such right, and neither do I."
There is no such obligation."
"We have the right." Ling He said calmly: "We have taken over the investigation task of the Taoist Court, and any person or organization involved needs to cooperate with us. This is not only the case for you, but also for the Criminal Investigation Department.
"
"Investigation mission?" Fang Heling seemed a little shocked, but he quickly suppressed it and did not show any more emotions.
Just said: "Okay, let me say it again. That day we chased two Zuodao demons and arrived at a mountain outside Dujia Town. Because we had already reached the Qichang Mountains, my leg was injured again, so I
He asked whether he should lie in ambush outside the mountain and wait for the demon to come down.
But senior brother Zhang Xizhi, who was leading the team, refused. He asked me to stay and recuperate, and he took the others into the mountain.
I waited until the next day, but did not wait until they came down the mountain. I knew something had happened, so I contacted the local government. Someone from the Criminal Investigation Department and the Taoist Temple came over and found their skeletons in a cave. This is what happened.
."
His right leg was indeed wrapped in gauze several times, and there were traces of blood.
"Only skeletons?" Jiang Wang asked. He couldn't help but think of what happened in Tangshe Town.
Fang Heling glanced at him, and there was no emotion like hatred in his eyes. "Yes."
He turned to Ling He and said: "That's all I know. I don't know about other things. My grandfather died, and my father was too sad to take charge. Now I am the one who supports the Fang family. I am very worried."
You’re busy, don’t disturb me if there’s nothing important. Okay?”
After speaking, he looked at Ling He who had not moved yet and asked, "Is there anything else?"
"I want to go in and burn incense."
"What?" Fang Heling thought she heard wrongly.
But Ling He just said seriously: "I want to burn incense to Fang Pengju's grandfather. He loved Pengju very much when he was alive."
He really just wanted to pay homage, it was pure and simple.
Fang Heling was silent for a long time, then turned sideways to give way to the door.
