More than thirty years have passed, and the person on duty at the Spiritual Separation Building has long since been replaced by a graceful woman.

As soon as she saw Zhang Shiping walking in, she immediately left the friendly-looking couple who were talking to her. When they looked at each other with surprise, the woman came up to him with a smile on her face: "Senior Zhang."

You came to Fenling Tower, but you came for the cave?"

…

…

After Zhang Shiping finished his work, he immediately escaped from the blue light. In less than a meal, he flew from the Fenling Tower to the Haoyue Mountain Cave.

As soon as he entered the cave, Zhang Shiping saw the boy puppet holding water mugwort in his arms, standing still. He gently patted his forehead, and then suddenly remembered that he had left in a hurry and forgot.

In order to replace the puppet's spiritual stone with a new one, after a few months, the spiritual energy in the spiritual stone was exhausted.

Zhang Shiping calculated that the ghost locusts in the insect room had not eaten for at least a month. Although the spirit insects could absorb spiritual energy, this was only an instinct after all, and they still relied more on food.

However, the vitality of strange insects is very tenacious. If even one of them has not eaten, it is unlikely to die. Besides, even if all the ghost locusts in the insect room starve to death, Zhang Shiping will only feel heartbroken at most.

There is still a batch of insect eggs in his beast-control bag, and they will reproduce when the time comes. It just takes a little more time. Ever since he discovered the egg fluid of those red ghost locusts, it is a

After planting the poison of the soul, Zhang Shiping did this.

He was worried that if he raised all the ghost locusts together without retaining eggs, then if all the ghost locusts mutated again and turned into useless insects, he would vomit blood.

.

After Zhang Shiping changed the spirit stones two or three times, he walked into the insect room. However, as soon as he entered the insect room, he was stunned. There were hundreds of ghost locusts, but now there were only about ten left, and they were bigger than before.

It's a bit bigger, about the same size as his hand.

When food is insufficient, even humans, not to mention these insects, will do the same. Zhang Shiping certainly doesn't find it strange.

However, he immediately used his 'Crow Nine' flying sword. At the same time, once the majestic magic power in the golden elixir was mobilized, the fire crow hood, which was much more solid than before, immediately floated around him, paying attention to all the people in the cave.

at.

He still remembered that the body of the monk named Ding Yu was thrown into the insect room. When he left, he had not cleaned up the bones, but now he could not see half of the body in the entire insect room.

A bone.

Zhang Shiping's consciousness surged forth, covering an area of ​​dozens of feet around him, not letting out the slightest movement.

Then his spiritual consciousness spread throughout the entire cave, which was more than ten miles outside the cave. After a while, he slowly withdrew his spiritual consciousness. In this cave and even within a radius of more than ten miles, there was no one except him.

, not a single human figure.

The person who could take away this corpse silently and leave no trace at all must have a strong level of cultivation. Zhang Shiping thought carefully, who could this person be?

Zhang Shiping frowned and thought, but suddenly glanced at it. There was some white powder on the ground. Zhang Shiping's eyes showed a thoughtful look. He took out a strange bird with a black body and white feathers from his storage bag.

On his way back, he happened to see some ugly and strange fish jumping out of the sea and turning into the strange bird in his hand in a blink of an eye.

The South China Sea is so big, and there are so many strange things. He just felt a little strange when he saw this, so he tried to capture a few alive. However, once he caught these strange birds, they would not have any internal organs.

Explosion means that there is no life left immediately, which is extremely strong.

As for the remaining strange birds with black bodies and white fur, once they sensed the death of their companions, they went crazy and were not afraid of the golden elixir-stage aura emanating from Zhang Shiping's body.

Zhang Shiping casually killed hundreds of them, but found that the spiritual power contained in the bodies of these strange birds was extremely thin. In other words, once these strange birds died, the spiritual power contained in the flesh and blood was lost faster than ordinary sea beasts.

If there are too many, they will appear thin and the value will naturally drop significantly.

Under this situation, Zhang Shiping had no interest at all. He killed a few of them casually, and the talismans sealed the corpses of these strange birds.

Then he stopped staying any longer. The green light enveloped him, flickered a few times, and then flew out for several miles. He easily got rid of the entanglement of these strange birds with extremely low value, and left without looking back.

.

In his heart, he felt that this kind of strange bird was a bit smart and understood the principle of using something useless. In this way, those cultivators who made a living on the sea would naturally not have any murderous intentions when they saw these strange birds, and they could also

So it's much safer.

After Zhang Shiping threw the corpse of the strange bird down, the dozens of ghost locusts in the insect room, which were as big as his palm, started fighting with each other after smelling the smell. Soon Zhang Shiping saw these ghost locusts gnawing

After eating the flesh and blood of the strange bird, he gnawed away the bones of the strange bird cleanly in a few clicks while looking at him in surprise.

After seeing this, Zhang Shiping felt relieved. It seemed that no one lurked in after he left. It was just a false alarm. Zhang Shiping took out a ten-foot-long sea beast from his storage bag.

, cut off a small piece of bone and flesh, threw it into the insect room, and then turned around and left.

However, after Zhang Shiping left the insect room, he did not look anxiously at the few jade slips in his hand that recorded sixty-seven methods of refining magic weapons. Instead, he walked towards the cave study room in three steps and two steps.

He walked over and rummaged through the classified things on the shelf. After about a cup of tea, Zhang Shiping found a matte yellow jade slip. This was the jade slip left by Junior Brother Huang. He

Immediately, his spiritual consciousness penetrated and he read it carefully.

According to what Junior Brother Huang recorded, the blue-green one-legged bird painted on his stone slab is a kind of true bird spirit that existed between heaven and earth in ancient times, named Bi Fang. This is also true of Zhang Shiping.

Known.

After all, the name of the ancient true spirit is so great, how could he not have heard of it. However, there are some differences in the forms recorded in various places, but it can be summed up that there are always some similarities.

It is recorded in the jade slips that although Bi Fang is the Nine Birds True Spirit, there is a saying that he was transformed from a wood spirit, and there is also a saying that he was transformed from a false fire.

Zhang Shiping saw that what Huang Zhou's junior brother recorded on the jade slips was similar to what he knew. They were all vague speculations without any real conclusions.

But Zhang Shiping thought of something else. This is normal. For this kind of true spirit that has been passed down from ancient times to the present, even the true kings in the Nascent Soul stage dare not say that they truly understand him. What they can know is only

You can learn a thing or two through ancient books. However, there are different opinions on this kind of thing, and no one knows which one is true and which one is false.

On the other hand, Zhang Shiping rummaged through the pile of jade slips for the stone slab painted with Bi Fang's divine bird pattern, and only then did he realize that it was a ritual vessel used by ancient monks to worship the true spirit.

Zhang Shiping took the matte yellow jade slip and walked to the quiet room. He took out the bronze lamp from the storage bag. He carefully looked at the green magical bird on the bronze lamp with the clear light of the moonstones inlaid throughout the cave.

Pattern.

After about half a cup of tea, Zhang Shiping put down the bronze lamp, lit it, sat next to it and began to practice slowly. The spiritual energy in the cave seemed to be attracted by the bottomless whirlpool and surged towards Zhang Shiping.

After half a cup of tea, when the spiritual energy in the cave became much thinner, Zhang Shiping put away his skills, then put his two fingers together like knives, and the magic power was condensed like a sharp edge, and lightly drew a line on his arm.

A red line emerged, but under the illumination of the bronze lamp, the bleeding stopped at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the scab fell off and healed.

Zhang Shiping then started to practice the golden elixir stage magic formula in "The Art of Changing Elements". He wanted to confirm whether the efficacy of this bronze lamp was still there, or whether it had changed after being imprinted with the Bi Fang Divine Bird pattern!

More than half an hour later, Zhang Shiping's whole body was wet, and his muscles were twitching slightly. He looked at the bronze lamp in front of him. The wick was as white as snow, and the light was orange and yellow. The effectiveness of this bronze lamp had not changed, otherwise

Zhang Shiping is going to have a headache.

Because he didn't expect that the difficulty of practicing the golden elixir stage skills in "Changing Yuan Gong" would suddenly increase much more than that in the foundation-building stage. If he hadn't had the help of the bronze lamp and adapted to the pain of splitting the mind during the foundation-building stage, he wouldn't have been able to

It’s really hard to say whether I can keep practicing. No wonder the method states that to practice this skill, you need to take Ziye Shen Yang Dan, Golden Soul Pill, Spirit Soul Liquid and other elixirs that nourish the soul.

It has been so long since he got this bronze lamp. At the beginning, when he was still in the Qi refining stage, Zhang Shiping used his magic power to sacrifice the lamp, and also used his own essence and blood to sacrifice it using the blood refining method.

, but in the end there was no result. After Zhang Shiping established the foundation and tried several times, it was still the same, so he stopped trying.

It wasn't until he formed the elixir and spent more than half a month on Qingji Island using the elixir and fire divine thoughts that he made some changes. However, Zhang Shiping didn't know that this change was due to his elixir and fire divine thoughts.

The reason is that the subsequent changes were due to the sacrificial stone slab with Bi Fang painted on it, or more likely because of both.

It's just that he doesn't have a second stone tablet in his hand now, so he can no longer reproduce the scene at that time.

Zhang Shiping patted his forehead lightly to relieve the lingering symptoms from practicing the "Yuan Yuan Technique" just now. After a few breaths, he stood up, spent some time, put away the things in the cave, and stuffed them all.

Into the storage bag

…

…

Before that, when Zhang Shiping stepped into the Spirit-Spinning Building, the graceful female cultivator greeted him with a show of beauty. Before Zhang Shiping could tell him the purpose of his visit, the female cultivator revealed it directly.

She was extremely enthusiastic and listed eight places for Zhang Shiping that were suitable for the cultivation of Jindan monks, including four water mansions, two spiritual mountains, a green bamboo valley, and a Xuanyin cave.

This plump female cultivator is very understanding and interesting. When Zhang Shiping looked at the picture scroll map and his eyes had just seen somewhere, before he stretched out his hand or said a word, the female cultivator softly expressed his gratitude to Zhang Shiping.

Introduced in detail.

And when she saw that Zhang Shiping was unintentional, she kept her story short so that Zhang Shiping wouldn't think she was noisy!

In the Water Mansion, Zhang Shiping, who majored in fire-attribute skills, naturally excluded them. And he was not a golden elixir monk who practiced ghost methods, so he didn't give much thought to the Xuanyin Cave. The remaining two spiritual mountains

And Cuizhu Valley, no matter in every aspect, they are comparable, but Cuizhu Valley is farther away from the caves where other Jindan monks practice. Zhang Shiping thought about it and finalized it.

Fenlinglou worked very efficiently, and after Zhang Shiping reported his real name this time, he took a jasper token carved with green bamboo from the woman's hand.

Only about ten breaths had passed, and the Cuizhu Valley on the scroll was already under Zhang Shiping's name.

…

…

Less than half an hour later, Zhang Shiping put all the things he had put in the cave into his storage bag without falling to the ground, and then flew towards the west of Binhai City.

Soon after, Zhang Shiping saw from a distance that a lush and spiritual valley appeared in front of him. A trail extended from the outside and submerged into the valley. In addition to this trail, Zhang Shiping flew around the valley again.

No other entrance to the magic circle was found. This is his new spiritual place for spiritual practice, Cuizhu Valley.

Zhang Shiping stood at the entrance path of Cuizhu Valley, and the majestic spiritual consciousness of the Jindan stage condensed into more than thirty extremely condensed spiritual thoughts. Generally, the newly promoted Jindan masters, even if they use all their strength, can usually form spiritual thoughts.

There are only about twenty lines.

His spiritual thoughts were condensed like sharp needles, thrust forward, but an emerald green glow emerged. Zhang Shiping suddenly felt his spiritual thoughts sinking into thousands of twisted vine roots. Zhang Shiping immediately gritted his teeth and moved towards the green glow ahead.
