Chapter 171 Eighth Level of Qi Training and Ambush
The following days.
On the one hand, Zhou Ling raised fish and farmed in Ziyun Sect, and on the other hand, he let Liu Yue'er collect second-level spiritual objects with five elements and thunder attributes.
And he sold the bone artifacts he collected from the disciples of the Blood Beast Sect this time, as well as the magical artifacts he had previously obtained from the storage rings of Li Yan and others.
Since Guyun Realm is mainly about physical cultivation, the price of these second-level spiritual objects is not high, and the quantity is quite large.
This also surprised Zhou Ling.
Unconsciously, another month passed. In addition to the second-level spiritual objects he absorbed, he also accumulated ten second-level ores in his hand.
The speed of stimulating the Five Elements Thunder Gang Body is also greatly accelerated.
However, as I calculated with my fingers, it was already December in Qingyun Fairy City, and in mid-December, there was still an assessment by the Tiangong Department.
So, he planned to stay for a few more days and then teleport back to Qingyun Fairy City.
Opening the teleportation array consumes three mid-grade spiritual stones at a time. With this harvest, it has already far exceeded this value.
So, Zhou Ling planned to wait until the Tiangong Division’s assessment was over before returning to the Ancient Cloud Realm.
Fortunately, I still have twelve middle-grade spiritual stones in hand.
Enough for two trips back and forth.
At the beginning of this month, it was the day when the two affiliated families handed over the mineral veins.
There will be a lot of second-level ores collected by then, which will be of great use to myself.
This is also the main reason why Zhou Ling decided to return to Qingyun Fairy City a few days later.
·······.
The Blood Beast Sect is at the top of a mountain hundreds of feet tall.
A square-faced old man walked slowly in the hall with his hands behind his back, his brows slightly furrowed and his expression looking quite solemn.
Half a foot away from him, there was another middle-aged man with a rough appearance and a livid face.
These two middle-aged men are the head of the Blood Beast Sect and the second elder, Du Sheng and Deng Hu.
"Second Elder, are you sure that Ziyun Sect's attack this time is not Fairy Ziyun?"
After a while, Du Sheng sat down on the main seat and asked in a deep voice.
“Yes, Master.”
"The spies reported that during this period, they only saw a young practitioner of twelve or thirteen years old, and did not see Fairy Ziyun."
Deng Hu said with a solemn expression.
“A late-stage qi-training practitioner was actually able to kill the third elder!”
The light in his eyes flashed away, and Du Sheng’s tone was filled with confusion.
“Maybe it was because the third child consumed so much after killing the elder of Ziyun Sect that this son had an opportunity!”
"The sect master must destroy Ziyun Sect and avenge Lao San and Heng'er."
Deng Hu said with an angry look.
This time among the disciples was his son.
"Second Elder, don't worry. If the people of the Ziyun Sect kill my disciples of the Blood Beast Sect, I, the Blood Beast Sect, will make them pay with their blood."
Du Sheng said in a gloomy tone.
There are a lot of resources in Ziyun Sect. I originally thought that Fairy Ziyun had died long ago, but I didn't expect that there would still be a successor.
Knowing that the third elder and other disciples were killed, he was also furious, but he was afraid of Fairy Ziyun's strength.
During this period, we did not dare to attack Ziyun Sect rashly.
Instead, he sent people to observe Ziyun Mountain secretly to confirm whether Fairy Ziyun appeared.
The news we got now is that Fairy Ziyun did not appear, but a young man who claimed to be her disciple appeared.
It is a method of cultivation, and it is only the cultivation of the late stage of Qi training.
I also couldn’t understand why the third child died at the hands of this young man?
You must know that the spiritual energy in this realm is thin, and the strength of legal cultivation is generally lower than that of physical cultivation.
"However, we can't be careless about this matter. We have to recalculate it!"
With a sharp look like a falcon, Du Sheng said cautiously.
Now Fairy Ziyun is still a mystery, and he absolutely dares not go to Ziyun Mountain again.
Hearing this, Deng Hu's eyes changed and he fell into silence.
He was also worried about Fairy Ziyun, but his son would never die in vain.
"Second Elder, we can think of a way to lead the new Ziyun Sect leader down to Ziyun Mountain and kill him on the way."
Du Hu thought for a moment and shrank his eyes. He said in a solemn tone.
In this way, even if Fairy Ziyun is really in Ziyun Sect, she can't do anything to them.
Don’t blame him for being timid and not daring to directly kill the Ziyun Sect.
The reputation of Fairy Ziyun is really amazing.
Back in the northwest region, several third-level monks died under Fairy Ziyun’s sword.
Moreover, Fairy Ziyun is cruel and ruthless. If she is really provoked, the rest of the Blood Beast Sect will definitely not be able to escape.
As for the killing of the third elder, this has little impact on the overall strength of the Blood Beast Sect.
Although Deng Hu was also worried about Fairy Ziyun, his only son was killed.
Therefore, he was eager for revenge, hoping to kill his enemy as soon as possible and avenge his son.
"Second Elder, this time we did not attack the Ziyun Sect because of that mineral vein, then we will continue to work hard on that mineral vein!"
Du Sheng's eyes changed. , said in a deep voice.
"Okay! Follow the sect leader's arrangements." Deng Hu clasped his fists with a gloomy look on his face.
·······.
Ziyun Mountain, beside Ziyun Lake.
[You are feeding the spiritual fish, farming expert +1, spiritual fish growth +2]
[Effect: Farming expert reaches the second level, the farming effect is doubled]
[Cumulative number of picking spiritual grains, elixirs, or catching spiritual beasts: 101/1,000]
On the wooden board extending into the lake on the shore, Zhou Ling was scattering spiritual bamboo leaves into the lake.
“Huh.”
Zhou Ling’s consciousness swept across the lake and found that there were many less spiritual fish in it.
It is normal to think about it. In these days, I have eaten a lot just by myself, plus the purple-scaled fish inspired by the blood.
If this continues, the spirit fish in the lake will not be able to survive for a few months.
What we have to do now is to let the spirit fish give birth to offspring as soon as possible.
Then he will raise the young fish. After all, with the talent of [Farming Expert] to assist him, he can feed the spiritual fish himself.
Their growth rate has now doubled.
Next, as long as the spirit fish are kept stable, they will be able to grow rapidly.
Originally, only a beast master could achieve the rapid growth of spirit fish and spirit beasts.
But now Zhou Ling uses [Farming Expert], and the effect is better than that of the Beast Controller.
With this [Farming Expert] talent, he doesn't need to consume much spiritual energy. He only needs to feed it directly, and the growth rate of the spiritual beasts and spiritual fields can be doubled.
So, the entire Ziyun Mountain will enter an efficient cycle.
The growth rate of the spiritual field is doubled, the growth rate of the elixir is doubled, and the produced spiritual bamboo and spiritual grain can be fed to the spiritual fish and doubled again.
In this way, it won't be long before my [Farming Expert] talent is improved again, and the effect will be doubled again.
After this Ziyun Sect, it is a treasure land.
Zhou Ling felt happy about this.
With this harvest, he will not have to worry about entering the Ancient Cloud Realm because it will consume too much.
Zhou Ling threw the remaining baskets of bamboo leaves into the lake.
Soon, dozens of spiritual fish smelled the scent of the spiritual bamboo and swam over quickly. In just a dozen blinks, they swept away the spiritual bamboo leaves.
[You are feeding the spiritual fish, farming expert +1, spiritual fish growth +2]
“If you give them higher-grade elixir, the effect will be better.”
Watching the spirit fish in the lake competing for the spirit bamboo leaves, Zhou Ling was thinking in his mind.
“Chirp!”
In the air, the golden fire crow flapped its wings, landed on the wooden railing, and screamed at Zhou Ling.
“Oh, Xiao Jin, are you hungry too?”
Perceiving the thoughts conveyed by the golden fire crow, Zhou Ling said with a smile.
Then he pointed at the spirit fish in the lake, "Catch it yourself!"
In these days, as Zhou Ling penetrated the blood beast marks into the bodies of the Golden Fire Crow and the Stone Rock Rat, , they also all entered the second level.
Especially the Golden Fire Crow, whose body has grown several times. Now with a pair of fire wings spread out, the body is nearly half a foot tall.
“Chirp!”
The Golden Fire Crow screamed, flapped its wings, and flew towards the lake.
As the water splashed up, a blood fish weighing dozens of kilograms was picked up by its sharp claws.
Then the Golden Fire Crow flapped its wings and flew into the air domineeringly.
Zhou Ling also left Ziyun Lake.
·······.
In a flash, another five days passed.
Ziyun Sect, Ziyun Courtyard, training room.
“Hoo!
"Finally reached the eighth level of Qi training!"
Wearing a mysterious robe, Zhou Ling sat upright on the stone bed, opened his eyes, and had a hint of joy on his face.
Ziyun Mountain Ziyun Xiaoyuan is rich in the spiritual energy of the five elements. When practicing the "Five Elements Qianyang Zhenjue", you will be like a fish in water, and it will be in perfect harmony.
Coupled with the aid of talents such as [Innate Talent] and [Aura Affinity], his cultivation speed has been significantly accelerated.
After more than a month, the number of spiritual points opened in the body has reached seventy-one, and he has naturally entered the eighth level of Qi training.
Originally, due to the practice of "Five Elements Qianyang Zhenjue", the progress was slightly slow.
But with the blessing of various talents, the speed has still caught up.
A quick calculation shows that it has only been half a year since I last broke through the seventh level of Qi training, and my cultivation level has reached the eighth level.
This was much faster than he expected.
This speed is no less than that of top-grade or even top-grade spiritual monks.
After a long while, Zhou Ling's excitement calmed down.
Then, in his open palm, a ball of five-element gleaming flames flexibly moved, illuminating the entire training room with a stream of dazzling light. As his cultivation level improved, the Five Elements Spirit Flame also improved significantly.
“Now the Five Elements Spiritual Flame has reached the middle stage of the second level, and it is already possible to practice the secret technique of the "Five Elements Qianyang True Secret"!"
Zhou Ling's face revealed He murmured happily.
However, the "Five Elements Qianyang Zhenjue" is a mid-level Xuan-level skill, and its secret method is quite powerful.
It is not easy to open up the secret meridians to circulate around the world, and now that I have sword formations, soul attacks and other means, I am not in a hurry.
This time after advancing to the eighth level of Qi training, Zhou Ling also felt that his strength had improved significantly.
The most obvious thing is that the mana in the five elements meridians has more than doubled than before.
With the current level of the Five Elements spiritual power, Zhou Ling feels that it is easy to deal with the ninth level of Qi training.
Even ordinary foundation-building monks, even if they rely on the Five Elements Sword Art without resorting to other means.
He can also give a shout-out.
As long as the secret technique is successfully cultivated, his strength will become even stronger.
At that time, it will be very possible to defeat the monks in the early stage of foundation building with their own magic power.
As for the soul, it has also been greatly improved.
But since his consciousness has already reached the first level of foundation building, the progress is relatively not that obvious.
"It's been five days, why haven't the ores been recovered yet?"
Zhou Ling stood up and stretched, with a look of confusion on his face.
Originally, according to the agreement, the ore mined by the Qi family in the past three months would be handed over to the sect in the past few days.
But four or five days have passed and there is still no news.
"If there is no news in two days, then I will go back to Qingyun Fairy City first."
Zhou Ling thought to himself.
Then, he stood up and left the practice room.
"Sect Master, there is news from the Qi family, saying that they are worried that they will encounter Blood Beast Sect disciples on the road and the ore will be taken away. They hope that we can send people to the mine to collect the ore!"
When they arrived in the courtyard, Liu Yue'er and Zhou Ling, dressed in palace clothes, reported.
"Go to the mine to collect?"
Hearing this, Zhou Ling couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
“This purple fire crystal vein is to the south of our Ziyun Mountain, almost sixty miles away from us.”
“Occasionally, we will have disciples go to collect the ore!”
Liu Yue'er continued.
"This batch of purple fire crystal stones is quite large, and there are many second-level ones among them, which will be of great use to me! I still have to accept them first."
Zhou Ling thought to himself.
Under the current situation, it is understandable that the Qi family is worried about encountering Blood Beast Sect disciples on the road.
“Sixty miles away, it’s okay to collect it!”
Zhou Ling thought for a moment, curled up the corners of her lips, and said to Liu Yue’er.
I came to Guyun Realm just to collect resources, and I can't stay in Ziyun Mountain all the time.
What's more, now that the cultivation base has greatly increased, even if you meet the second-level mid-level body-refining monks of the Blood Beast Sect.
You may not be able to cope with it yourself.
Even if he can't cope with it, he can escape quickly with the help of the magical power of beast flames.
Then, the two left Ziyun Mountain and leapt towards the south.
······．
More than ten miles away from Ziyun Mountain, there is a jungle.
The two leaping figures in the air suddenly stopped.
[There is an ambush by a second-level body-refining monk ahead, crisis response +1]
"Yue'er, wait a minute!"
Zhou Ling, who was walking behind, suddenly stopped and said with a frown.
"Sect Master, what's wrong!"
Liu Yue'er, who was moving forward quickly, stopped and turned around to ask.
“It seems that we were targeted when we left Ziyun Mountain.”
Zhou Ling raised his brows and said calmly.
Following the prompt of [Crisis Response], he scanned with his consciousness and found that there were several powerful auras in the jungle approaching them quickly.
Today this place is still within the scope of Ziyun Sect.
Even though Ziyun Sect is weak now, with the master's prestigious reputation, no other monks would dare to offend him easily.
So Zhou Ling guessed that the other party was probably a disciple of the Blood Beast Sect.
“I’m being targeted!”
Hearing this, Liu Yue'er was also slightly startled.
However, her spiritual awareness was not high, and she did not notice the visitor for a while.
Of course, when Zhou Ling said this, she would not have any doubts.
"Sect Master, what should we do?"
Liu Yuer asked in a deep voice.
She has a calm personality and is calm in times of crisis.
"If they actually want to take advantage of us, then we will defeat them!"
Zhou Ling looked indifferent and chuckled.
Through his spiritual inspection, he quickly grasped the other party's situation.
One person is in the middle stage of the second level of body training, and three are in the late stage of the first level.
Although his strength is not low, he can still handle it now.
The Golden Fire Crow and the Stone Rock Rat have already entered the second level, which is more than enough to deal with the three late-level first-level physical cultivators.
As for the second-level mid-level physical cultivator, it’s up to you to deal with it.
Hearing Zhou Ling's words, a look of surprise flashed across Liu Yue'er's pretty face.
I didn’t expect Zhou Ling to choose to face the enemy head-on.
Although Zhou Ling's strength is not low, the risk is still too great.
But Zhou Ling was able to kill even the three elders of the Blood Beast Sect, so she still had great confidence in him.
Zhou Ling quietly released the Golden Fire Crow and Stone Rock Rat from the spirit beast bracelets.
Flashing with two lights and shadows.
The Golden Fire Crow and the Stone Rock Rat appeared in front of Zhou Ling.
Zhou Ling immediately sent them an order to lurk.
The golden fire crow flapped its wings and landed on a big tree.
The rock rat lurked behind a rock.
"Boy, I didn't expect to be discovered by you. You are indeed a disciple of Fairy Ziyun!"
After a few brushes, several figures with strong auras passed by like streams of light. They came to a place ten feet behind Zhou Ling and the others.
The leader among them is a middle-aged man with a rough appearance and a full-blooded look.
It is Deng Hu, the second elder of the Blood Beast Sect.
Deng Hu looked at Zhou Ling standing in front with murderous intent on his face.
Zhou Ling looked calm, not as panicked as he imagined.
"Are you from the Blood Beast Sect?" Zhou Ling said calmly.
"You actually guessed my identity?"
Deng Hu's cold eyes glanced at the direction of Ziyun Mountain warily.
Not feeling any other breath, he breathed a sigh of relief and regained his composure.
Although it is important to avenge his son, he is also extremely afraid of Fairy Ziyun.
“Master, you are indeed right!”
Zhou Ling couldn't help but laugh.
But before he finished speaking, he slapped the storage bag with both hands.
I saw the Fire Gang Sword and the Eight-Way Sword coming out of the storage bag, arranging in the air, and quickly slashing towards the middle-aged man in front.
Although the opponent only has four people now, in these days, Zhou Ling also learned that the Blood Beast Sect has three second-level physical cultivators.
Maybe there are reinforcements lurking behind.
So to be on the safe side, he wanted to fight quickly!
"Sword cultivator, sword formation!"
Seeing so many flying swords, Deng Hu looked shocked and said.
He could clearly feel that these nine flying swords exuded a powerful aura, one of which even reached the second level.
Now, he finally understood why the third child was killed by this kid.
Originally, sword cultivators were powerful beings.
This boy is able to control the sword formation at such a young age, so he must be a disciple of Fairy Ziyun.
So, seeing this situation, he was also shocked.
It seems that Ziyun Fairy is really still alive.
“Hundred Sword Formation, kill!”
Zhou Ling had a thought in his mind and shouted sharply.
Instantly activate the portable sword array, and at the same time send orders to the Golden Fire Crow and Stone Rock Rat to let them attack.
The nine flying swords all struck at Deng Hu.
In an instant, the sword glow roared and the sword light enveloped the void.
Under the leadership of Huogang Sword, it condensed into a flame sword furnace and rushed towards Deng Hu.
"Rie!"
At the same time, the Golden Fire Crow and the Stone Rock Rat also turned into streams of light, as fast as lightning, and rushed towards the other three Blood Beast Sect disciples.
The golden fire crow opened its flaming mouth and spit out a hot fireball, hitting the burly man with a beard on the right.
At the same time, a pair of sharp claws shone with golden light and flew down towards him.
The Stone Rock Rat was like a rolling earth ball, rolling towards the strong man on the left.
One high and one low, the speed is very fast, and the coordination is perfect.
