Spiritual light flickered on the long sword, condensing a strong fire spiritual power. It was obvious at a glance that it was not an ordinary magical weapon. Zhang Ling glanced at it, and the spiritual patterns on it were very simple and looked like an ancient treasure.
Although it was of considerable value, Zhang Ling didn't take it to heart, but was interested in a few jade slips. There were three jade slips, two white ones and one red one.
He released his spiritual sense to check the information. After a while, Zhang Ling grabbed the red jade slip with one hand and carefully checked it. After a while, he came back to his senses and looked at Mu Xiaoyan and asked, "Girl, do you know what a Yuan Ling Bao Zhu is?(元灵宝珠: Yuan Ling Bao Zhu, roughly translated as Primordial Spirit Treasure Pearl)"
"Yuan Ling Bao Zhu(元灵宝珠: Yuan Ling Bao Zhu, roughly translated as Primordial Spirit Treasure Pearl), little sister seems to have seen records of it somewhere, but I can't remember." Mu Xiaoyan was stunned and patted her head.
Wu Yun, who was next to her, seemed to know something and reminded her. "Xiaoyan, Yuan Ling Bao Zhu(元灵宝珠: Yuan Ling Bao Zhu, roughly translated as Primordial Spirit Treasure Pearl) seems to be the inner core of an ancient beast."
"Ah, I remember, isn't Yuan Ling Bao Zhu(元灵宝珠: Yuan Ling Bao Zhu, roughly translated as Primordial Spirit Treasure Pearl) the demon core of the Three Treasures Earth Spirit Beast?" Mu Xiaoyan's eyes lit up and she immediately exclaimed.
"That's right, Yuan Ling Bao Zhu(元灵宝珠: Yuan Ling Bao Zhu, roughly translated as Primordial Spirit Treasure Pearl) is one of the three treasures on the Three Treasures Earth Spirit Beast." Zhang Ling smiled and looked at the red jade slip in his hand.
Of the three jade slips, one contained a complete earth-attribute cultivation technique, the Earth Light Art. The other jade slip contained many alchemy insights, including several fourth and fifth-grade pill formulas.
Although most of them were useless, he often collected these things, maybe he could use them someday.
And the red jade slip, which Zhang Ling valued most, recorded a lot of information about strange beasts of heaven and earth. The introduction of the Three Treasures Earth Spirit Beast was recorded in great detail.
This ancient beast has three kinds of treasures. The first is the inner core of the Three Treasures Earth Spirit Beast, which is called Yuan Ling Bao Zhu(元灵宝珠: Yuan Ling Bao Zhu, roughly translated as Primordial Spirit Treasure Pearl). It contains pure spiritual power. As long as it is refined by blood refining method, it can quickly improve cultivation.
For Nascent Soul cultivators, refining it can shorten at least forty or fifty years of hard work, comparable to the top spiritual medicine. Especially for cultivators who practice earth spiritual power, it is easier to refine and the increased cultivation will be much more.
The second treasure is the purple light threads, called Purple Glow Silk, which can be woven into a kind of Earth Light Treasure Clothes. As long as you put it on, you can use earth escape technique without using spiritual power.
Although it is a bit of a rib for Zhang Ling, it is indeed a strange treasure.
The third treasure on the Three Treasures Earth Spirit Beast is the strange long tongue in its mouth, which will breed a material called Thousand Jun Stone. As long as the Thousand Jun Stone is mixed in the earth-attribute treasure, the power of the treasure can be enhanced a lot.
Seeing this, Zhang Ling thought of the sudden increase in the power of the Three Treasures Earth Spirit Beast's tongue during his battle. It may be the effect of the Thousand Jun Stone amplification.
It seems that it is extremely suitable for enhancing the power of Tianxing Sand.
Zhang Ling didn't expect to have such a harvest this time. Once he settled down, he would immediately retreat and practice. Especially refining the inner core of the Three Treasures Earth Spirit Beast, which can save him a long time of hard work, maybe he can break through to the middle stage of Nascent Soul in one fell swoop.
He stayed with Mu Xiaoyan for two days and then said goodbye and left.
Regarding the situation of why the Three Treasures Earth Spirit Beast was imprisoned in the bronze cauldron. Although he didn't know the real situation, Zhang Ling also made some speculations.
I think it was a cultivator who caught this ancient beast and sealed it inside. But it seems that the secret cave has not been returned by the original owner for a long time. Who it is is unknown.
But it can be imagined that the cultivator who can catch the Three Treasures Earth Spirit Beast is not weak, at least Nascent Soul cultivation. But the owner does not return for a long time, then it can only be that the original owner of the cave has fallen outside.
After killing the Three Treasures Earth Spirit Beast, he also searched in the mountain, but did not find anything valuable.
As for the other three cultivators who explored the treasure with Wu Yun, Zhang Ling did not save them, not because he didn't want to save them, but because he didn't have time.
The aftermath of the battle with the Three Treasures Earth Spirit Beast, and the destruction of the mountain caused, buried these three people. When they were dug out afterwards, the three were bloody and had already been smashed to death.
Next, Zhang Ling stayed in Yanxia Immortal City for a few days, bought some items, and then went to Cangyun Country.
In a blink of an eye, seven or eight days passed.
Zhang Ling flew in the clouds and flew quickly in one direction. At this time, he had entered the territory of Cangyun Country. Flying like this, he would be able to reach Haoyuan Sect in less than half a day.
Halfway through the flight, he suddenly changed his direction slightly and flew south. He was silent along the way, his mood was quite complicated.
Changing direction did not change his mind, but because he wanted to go to Qing Tian Village where he had stayed when he was young to have a look. Two hundred years have passed, I don't know if the mountain village in my memory is still there.
Thinking that when he left, there was no one in the village, I am afraid that it has become extremely desolate now.
Zhang Ling smiled self-deprecatingly and remembered many past events. He flew for a while in such a complicated mood. When passing through a cloud, he glanced down unintentionally and noticed a mountain town.
After a moment of stunned, Zhang Ling slowed down his escape speed and chuckled, and landed down, intending to enter the city to have a look. Because this town located in the valley turned out to be Luoxing City where he had stayed for a while when he first entered the world of cultivating immortals.
I didn't expect to fly all the way to this place. The divine sense spread to the surroundings, and sure enough, I saw some familiar regional environments. I could also feel that the fire spiritual power emitted from a slightly farther place was strong. It was the Luoxing Mountain Range where the Fenyan Valley Secret Realm was located.
Zhang Ling did not enter from the city gate, but used means to easily land on a street with few pedestrians. With a sway of his body, he walked out from the corner. Did not attract anyone's attention.
Walking into a wide main road with the crowd, some hawking sounds came into my ears.
"Hey, it seems that there is not much change here." Zhang Ling wandered around a few streets with interest, and sometimes he could see some familiar buildings and shops.
"Xiao Er, bring a pot of Yun Ling Tea."
Not long after, he sat on the third floor of a teahouse by the window, sipping a pot of spiritual tea, listening to the conversations of some low-level cultivators.
Returning to the original place again, there is not much change in the environment. Let Zhang Ling's heart have a sense of peace. He rarely has this feeling after his foundation building is successful.
"Boss Cao, I heard that your second son successfully broke into the Fenyan Valley Secret Realm three years ago and joined the Haoyuan Sect, is it true?" Several Qi refining cultivators sitting at the next table were talking loudly.
One of the black-faced old man laughed and said proudly. "Brother Lin, my second son is a Bing Linggen(冰灵根: Ice Spiritual Root) aptitude, is it not a certainty to join the sect."
"Different spiritual root aptitude, it is very likely to be accepted as a closed disciple by the Jindan Elder(金丹长老: Golden Core Elder). With this aptitude, if you want to come in a hundred years, your Cao family will also have a Jindan strongman(金丹强者: Golden Core Expert). At that time, you will have to take care of our families."
"Haha, that's natural." The black-faced old man agreed very boldly.
"Brother Cao, I seem to have heard that your second son is not yet married. Zhang's granddaughter's spiritual root was also checked well some time ago. It is a Shuang Linggen(双灵根: Double Spiritual Root) aptitude. Why don't we two families make a baby kiss, and get closer."
Hearing this, the black-faced old man's eyes lit up, and he really considered it.
But another yellow-faced middle-aged man snorted coldly. "You old thing, your granddaughter is only seven or eight years old. Cao's second young master will be able to become a foundation-building cultivator in another year or two. Can you afford it?"
"Brother Cao, my family's seventh girl is also beautiful, although the spiritual root aptitude is not suitable for cultivation, but how about being a concubine for the second son, brother?"
"Hum, your Wang family's abacus is loud, and you even recommend a pseudo-spiritual root to Cao Er Gongzi(曹二公子: Cao Er Gongzi, Cao the Second Young Master)." Several old men quarreled with each other. Caused dissatisfaction among many monks next to him.
But these old men, their cultivation in this small fairy city is not weak. All reached the peak of Qi refining. Naturally, no one dared to provoke them.
Zhang Ling sat at the next table, sipping spiritual tea on his own, as if he was not disturbed. At this time, he suddenly sensed something, and turned his eyes to look at the sky outside.
I saw that the sky in the south suddenly became darker, and a black cloud flew over.
Zhang Ling frowned slightly, and sensed a yin and evil aura from that black cloud. "Eh, two Jindan late stage(金丹后期: Golden Core Late Stage) monks have come." He released a little divine sense power, and found two Jindan monks hidden in the clouds, their faces covered in black robes, and he couldn't see their true faces, but it didn't seem like they were passing by.
"Let's choose here, there is only one Jindan monk(金丹修士: Golden Core Cultivator) here, and there are many monks, which is very in line with our goal."
"Hey, then let's do it. My blood ghost has been waiting for a long time."
Zhang Ling's divine sense also happened to hear their conversation. These two seemed to be planning to attack Luoxing City.
After the two hidden Jindan monks(金丹修士: Golden Core Cultivator) talked for a few words, they each took out a huge jar. The two jars were exactly the same, engraved with dense blood-colored runes, not ordinary treasures.
The two chanted words and used means, and a series of magic formulas hit the jars. The runes on the two jars turned into a faint green color, and gusts of yin wind rolled out from them. Suddenly, a large area of black mist formed.
The black mist spread rapidly, covering sixty or seventy feet of the sky, looking like a storm was about to come.
This dark cloud did not attract the attention of the monks in the city. Only some mortals noticed it, but they didn't pay too much attention to it. Just as ordinary dark clouds.
"Why are there two ghost cultivators again." Zhang Ling was still sitting in the teahouse, but frowned slightly and whispered.
The two ghost cultivators in the dark clouds had completed their spells in a short time. Each spit out a few mouthfuls of blood essence and submerged into the jars.
More yin and evil aura rushed out from the jars they sacrificed, and the formed dark clouds became more dense, and there was a rumbling loud noise, like thunder. It seemed that a storm was really coming.
But in Zhang Ling's divine sense, the yin wind released by the two jars changed rapidly, and blood-red skulls emerged from them. Like phantoms flickering.
In an instant, hundreds of blood-red skulls appeared.
Then quickly gathered together, and turned into two ten-foot-high, blood-red, blue-faced fangs ghost creatures. One ghost creature held a green ghost head knife in his hand, and the other held a long white bone fork. They were actually two sixth-order ghost creatures.
Zhang Ling's heart had some doubts, and he secretly said that he had encountered several waves of ghost cultivators during this period of time. Is it a coincidence.
Although ghost cultivation is also a branch of cultivating immortals, the number of people who practice this way is not large. Often divided into the magic way camp.
He faintly felt that these waves of ghost cultivators he encountered may be related to that Ghost King Sect.
"Go, the following are all your blood food, devour them all for me."
With the order of the two ghost cultivators, the ghost creatures' eyes lit up with a green spiritual light, and they rushed towards Luoxing City with a large area of black mist.
From a distance, the dark cloud quickly pressed down, and a cold wind pressure swept over.
"Look, there is something wrong with the dark clouds in the sky." Finally, a monk noticed this scene and shouted. Immediately attracted the attention of many people. In a moment, most of the monks in Luoxing City noticed the dark clouds in the sky and felt a pressure.
The whistling cold wind swept in, and there was a sound of ghosts crying and wolves howling in the air. The dark clouds rolled, forming two huge vortexes, from which two blue-faced fangs ghost creatures flew out.
In the strange laughter of Gaga, the ghost head knife flashed and slashed out a series of green yin wind, turning into hundreds of wind blades.
Seeing this sudden scene, most of the monks in Luoxing City didn't have time to react, and stared blankly at the sky. Only a few people sensed the great fear, and their faces turned pale.
After all, this is just a small fairy city, most of the city are Qi refining monks, and few people can react. Only a few foundation building monks fled in a hurry, but their speed was too late to escape the city.
"Which villain dares to be presumptuous here." In the panic of the crowd, an angry roar came, and a dazzling red light rose from the location of the city lord's mansion, hitting the sky, making a loud noise. Then, the four corners of Luoxing City also rose several beams of light, forming a red light, and began to connect with each other.
"We are saved, it is the city protection array." Someone exclaimed in surprise.
These beams of light are the city protection array of Luoxing City, but after all, it is not a powerful formation, and it takes a certain amount of time to open.
The wind blade cut out by the ghost head knife has already pressed over, and in a burst of breaking air, several streets have become ruins. A lot of people died instantly.
Above the city lord's mansion, at this moment, a blue-robed refined middle-aged man also appeared, staring at the two ghost creatures with an ugly face. With a flip of one hand, a golden flying knife appeared in front of him, turning into a two-zhang-long golden light, and slashed towards one of the ghost creatures.
But similarly, the yin wind blood light behind the ghost creature flashed, and a blood-red bone stick flew out, with a crisp bang, directly knocking away the golden flying knife.
This made the middle-aged Confucian student's face pale, and his natal magic weapon was damaged all of a sudden.
"Hehe, you can't stop our blood ghost, obediently die." A burst of wild laughter came from the yin wind.
The face of the refined middle-aged man became extremely ugly. A sweep of the divine sense also found that there were not only two powerful ghost creatures in the dark clouds, but also two Jindan late stage(金丹后期: Golden Core Late Stage) experts.
And he is just a Jindan early stage(金丹初期: Golden Core Early Stage) monk, it is impossible to stop these people.
"Alas!" Zhang Ling, who was sitting in the teahouse, sighed bitterly. He didn't expect that he would encounter such a thing just by staying here for a while.
He picked up the spiritual tea, took a sip, and with a gentle flick of his sleeve, a small black-gray banner flew out. It transformed into a streak of black light and vanished.
