Zhang Wuyan waited patiently outside the mountain. He believed that the immortal cultivator would definitely come.
Because he found traces of frequent use of the alchemy furnace, which meant that the person would come here to refine the elixir every once in a while.
Time passes day by day.
I have been waiting for more than twenty days.
finally.
Zhang Wuyan, who was hiding on the mountain, saw a figure passing by at an extremely fast speed. This was obviously not the speed of a person in the world. Even the best martial arts master in Qinggong could not reach one-third of his speed.
Zhang Wuyan hid even more carefully. Until this strange cultivator approached, he remained completely motionless. Even his breathing and the movement of his magic power stopped, as if he didn't exist.
But his consciousness swept over it.
Unless this person is an immortal cultivator in the foundation-building realm, or a martial arts cultivator like him, it is impossible to discover his spiritual consciousness.
"The fourth level of Qi training is one level lower than my level."
Zhang Wuyan was overjoyed. It would be great if a stranger cultivating immortals was not as good as him.
Zhuang Zhentao didn't know that there was an immortal cultivator nearby who was observing him with his spiritual consciousness. He didn't think much and walked straight into the mountain.
In a spiritually barren land like Qi State, the only cultivators were him and another member of his banker's family.
The two of them had an agreement that one of them would guard the Qi Kingdom and urge the tribesmen to have children frantically in the hope of giving birth to children with the talent to cultivate immortality.
The other person is out there trying to gain experience.
The two change shifts every ten years.
Zhuang Zhentao has been guarding Qi for eight years, and it will be time to change his position in two years.
The place in front of me was accidentally discovered by Zhuang Zhentao when he was collecting information about the former Wu Kingdom. He didn't expect that there was a treasure here.
That alchemy furnace is not even a magic weapon, so its value is not high.
But treasures like the Seven Meridians Plum Blossom Earth Fire were hard to come by. He had only read about them in classics, and even a strong Foundation Builder would be tempted by them.
It is precisely for this reason that Zhuang Zhentao did not inform another immortal cultivator in the banker's house about the news about the Seven Meridians Plum Blossom Earth Fire.
He wants to swallow up the seven-meridian plum blossom earth fire for himself.
Although he and the other person were of the same race and had a thin blood relationship, the two had supported each other.
But in front of the extremely precious Seven Meridians Plum Blossom Earth Fire, that little bit of friendship can be said to be nothing worth mentioning.
Even brothers and long-time couples may fall out over Qi Meihua, not to mention that he and another person are not very close.
Zhuang Zhentao walked towards the heart of the mountain with a smile on his face. He came here today not to make alchemy, but mainly to see the Seven Meridians Plum Blossom Earth Fire.
He couldn't take away the Seven Meridians Plum Blossom Earth Fire, but he thought about this precious treasure when he was dreaming, so he would come and see it every once in a while.
Just like ordinary people get a golden mountain, even if they can't take it away, they will think about it every day and go and see it from time to time.
The same is true for immortal cultivators. It’s not that they don’t have greed, it’s just that the things they covet are different from ordinary people.
Seeing that Zhuang Zhentao was about to enter the mountain, Zhang Wuyan no longer hesitated at all. The magic covered his body, hiding his figure and appearance. Then Huang Yidao flew out of the air, instantly crossing the thirty-year gap between him and Zhuang Zhentao.
From a distance of ten feet, he slashed at Zhuang Zhentao fiercely.
Poof!!!
Huang Yida passed through the body, piercing and breaking Zhuang Zhentao's heart.
"Well……"
Zhuang Zhentao wanted to say something, but couldn't. He fell straight down.
Even a cultivator will die if his heart is destroyed.
Zhang Wuyan stepped in front of Zhuang Zhentao, and the surge of magic power absorbed all the treasures on Zhuang Zhentao's body.
Then a big fireball flew out, burning Zhuang Zhentao's body into ashes and scattering it in the wind.
After killing Zhuang Zhentao, Zhang Wuyan's eyes did not waver at all.
The moment Zhuang Zhentao discovered the Seven Meridians Plum Blossom Earth Fire, he was destined to live only one life with Zhang Wuyan.
Zhang Wuyan will not give up the Seven Meridians Plum Blossom Earth Fire unless Zhuang Zhentao is better than him.
"Storage bags."
Zhang Wuyan looked at the storage bag in his hand, blasting his magic power into it to break the magic mark left by Zhuang Zhentao, and opened the storage bag.
This is the lowest level storage bag, measuring half a foot in length, width and height, and contains a lot of things.
Twenty pieces of low-grade spiritual stones.
Three bottles of elixirs.
Some alchemy materials.
A small sword of low-grade magic weapon level.
Eleven talismans.
and several books.
"No wonder so many immortal cultivators like to kill people and seize treasures."
Zhang Wuyan shook his head. He got so many good things just by killing Zhuang Zhentao, which was more than what he had gained from working for twenty years.
How many people can resist this temptation?
Zhang Wuyan didn't care about other things for the time being, but took out the books.
A copy of "Shui Yuan Zhu", a book of immortality cultivation techniques, was more powerful than the "Hunyuan Gong" practiced by Zhang Wuyan, but it was impossible for Zhang Wuyan to stop practicing it again, so he put "Shui Yuan Zhu" back into his storage bag.
The second book is a book he owns, "A Preliminary Explanation of Alchemy".
He glanced at it and put it back in the storage bag.
The third book is a book of spells, which records some spells, including spells that Zhang Wuyan has never learned, such as the first- and fourth-level "Water Arrow Technique" and the "Fire Bird" which is more powerful than the fireball technique.
.
"These spells can be learned."
Zhang Wuyan put the book to the other side.
The fourth book is an introduction to the world of cultivating immortals. The recorded content is similar to the miscellaneous notes on the world of cultivating immortals that Zhang Wuyan obtained from Duan Yue.
The fifth book made Zhang Wuyan's eyes light up slightly.
This is also an immortal cultivation method, but it is not a Qi training method like "Hunyuan Gong" and "Shui Yuan Zhu", but a body training method.
Qigong and body exercises are equivalent to the internal and external skills in the ordinary world, but they are more powerful and mysterious.
Zhang Wuyan had actually wanted to find a physical training method to practice for a long time. After all, he had a lot of time, so it would always be beneficial to learn more.
But the body-training techniques he saw in Misty Mountain City were relatively expensive, so Zhang Wuyan temporarily gave up on this plan, but he didn't expect to get it by accident.
The name of this body training method is "White Jade Spirit Body", which is divided into nine levels, corresponding to the nine levels of Qi training realm.
However, the "White Jade Spirit Body" in his hand only has six levels, which means that it can be practiced up to the sixth level of Qi training.
When he was in Miaoshanfang City, Zhang Wuyan had seen the "White Jade Spirit Body" body training method. Its selling price was higher than that of "Hunyuan Gong", so he could get this "White Jade Spirit Body"
"It is more powerful than "Hunyuan Gong", and is of similar quality to "Shui Yuan Zhu".
However, there are relatively few people practicing body-refining techniques in the world of immortal cultivators. Only one out of ten immortal cultivators practices body-refining techniques, and the other nine all practice qi-refining techniques.
Body-refining immortal cultivators need close combat in order to exert their greatest strength. They can easily be treated as dogs by Qi-refining immortal cultivators, so there are relatively few people who choose this path.
There are even fewer people who practice dual cultivation. Among hundreds of immortal cultivators, there is probably only one who cultivates both Qi and body, and that is the kind of person who has not made any achievements in cultivation.
After all, people only have so much time. If you are pursuing immortality, dual cultivation of gas is not a good choice.
That is to say, Zhang Wuyan is already immortal. What he pursues is the method of protecting the Tao, so he chooses gas dual cultivation.
Otherwise, he would only choose one path to take and not waste his time.
After dealing with Zhuang Zhentao, Zhang Wuyan returned to the mountainside again.
He is going to start making elixirs.
My alchemy proficiency, which has not been improved for a long time, should be increased.
He took out the alchemy furnace and placed it on the seven-meridian plum blossom ground fire. He threw various alchemy materials from the world of immortality into the alchemy furnace, melted them into juice, and then condensed into shape.
Although he has not touched alchemy for more than 20 years, if it were someone else he would definitely be unfamiliar with it, but he has a system in place to ensure that he will never be unfamiliar with it, and that one certificate will last forever.
After practicing the elixir for more than a month, Zhang Wuyan returned to Sanqiu City with satisfaction.
After returning to Sanqiu City, he immediately began to practice "White Jade Spirit Body", "Water Arrow Technique", "Stone Shield Technique", "Fire Bird" and other techniques or techniques.
The business of refining alchemy and making talismans has not stopped either.
When Yangguo becomes more stable in the future, he will go there again.
By then, he will have strong strength, and he will no longer be a farm animal and work every day as before.
By refining pills and making talismans, as long as you don't act too shocking, you can make a good living and your strength will increase faster.
Next, he practiced while waiting for the situation in Yangguo.
Two years later, another cultivator of the banker, Zhuang He, came back.
He looked everywhere for Zhuang Zhentao but could not find him, and finally confirmed that Zhuang Zhentao was probably dead.
Although Zhuang He was angry about this, he was also helpless.
He had no idea what was going on and could only guess what kind of accident Zhuang Zhentao had encountered.
"Could it be that my banker will fall into the same fate as the Duan family?"
Zhuang He thought desperately.
When the Duan family was at its peak, there were three immortal cultivators and a sixth-level Qi practitioner, but the Duan family was finished after all.
The banker may also have such a day.
Even the Hong family, which has strong foundation-building experts at its command, dare not say that it can survive forever, let alone a small cultivating family like theirs that can collapse at the slightest wind.
Zhuang He didn't even dare to investigate who killed Zhuang Zhentao. What if it was a passing superpower and he found out, then would revenge be avenged or not?
He would definitely not dare to take revenge.
The investigation might even attract the attention of that powerful man.
Let's forget this matter.
Zhuang He could only continue to force his tribe to have children, and he must give birth to a child with the talent to cultivate immortality, otherwise the Zhuang family would be doomed.
Zhang Wuyan didn't know this. He was now looking at the three silver-haired old men with a headache.
The three of them have old faces, but their beauty when they were young can be vaguely seen. Even when they are older, they still have a temperament that is different from ordinary old people.
It was Xiaobai, Xiaoqing and Yu Liu.
He couldn't stay at home all the time, so he met the three of them. Originally this was not a big deal, so Zhang Wuyan just pretended that he hadn't seen them.
Unexpectedly, these three people met him once and wanted to accept him as their disciple.
The reason is also very simple. All three of them felt that looking at Zhang Wuyan was very familiar, so they believed Zhang Wuyan was Xiao Yun's descendant without hesitation.
Now that Xiao Yun is dead, the responsibility of educating his descendants will inevitably fall on the heads of the three of them.
They were thinking wholeheartedly.
Zhang Wuyan could only roll his eyes helplessly.
Women's intuition is indeed a bit scary. They can actually feel intimacy with themselves, and this feeling of intimacy is shared by all three of them.
"I don't know how to learn martial arts."
Zhang Wuyan said nonsense in a serious manner, "My family has ancestral teachings, and we must not learn martial arts or enter the martial arts world."
"Xiao Wuyan." Xiaoqing reached out to touch Zhang Wuyan's head. Zhang Wuyan wanted to avoid it, but chose not to do so in order not to expose his strength. "Learning martial arts and traveling in the world are two different things. You can learn martial arts, but you don't have to travel in the world."
"That's right, learning martial arts can be used for self-protection, and it doesn't necessarily mean going into the world."
Yu Liu echoed: "After learning martial arts, if you encounter any trouble in the future, you won't be helpless. You don't want to see your family being bullied, right?"
"I have no family."
Zhang Wuyan said.
Xiaobai said: "You will eventually get married and have children, and you will always have a family, right?"
Zhang Wuyan pretended to ponder, and finally said tangledly: "But my family's ancestral precepts..."
Xiaoqing waved his hand and said, "I know who your ancestor is, so don't worry. When I die of old age, if he hasn't been reincarnated yet, I will personally go down and put in a good word for you."
"Then...okay." Zhang Wuyan pretended to smile bitterly and agreed, "But I can't accept you as my teacher."
Even if Zhang Wuyan has a bad taste in worshiping his apprentice as his teacher, he doesn't want to do it.
"It's okay if you don't want to be a teacher. Just follow us and learn. Just call us grandma."
"puff……"
Zhang Wuyan wanted to vomit blood.
Calling me Master makes me one generation younger. Calling me Grandma makes me feel younger by two generations. This is even more unacceptable.
However, under the "force" of the three people, Zhang Wuyan finally had no choice but to "give in".
The martial arts taught by the three of them was Zhang Wuyan's own martial arts. Yu Liu named it "Mysterious Skills", which means the skills taught by the mysterious man.
As soon as he learned the "Mysterious Kung Fu", Zhang Wuyan showed extremely amazing talent in martial arts. His training speed soared very fast, and his progress was like sitting on a rocket, rushing upwards.
Xiaobai and the other three were even more overjoyed. This apprentice was not wrong. He was actually a rare genius, more talented than anyone they had ever seen.
Those well-known geniuses in the martial arts world were not even worthy of holding their shoes in front of Zhang Wuyan.
Zhang Wuyan secretly smiled in his heart. After being a useless person, he still wanted to enjoy the feeling of being a genius. Although he had already enjoyed it once when he was wandering around in the world, he didn't mind enjoying it a few more times.
Who would dislike showing off?
The three of them tried their best to teach Zhang Wuyan, and Zhang Wuyan did not let them down. He learned quickly, understood everything at a glance, and soon they had nothing to teach them.
Zhang Wuyan broke through to the first-class realm before he was twenty years old and was called an invincible monster. If he told it, it would shock the entire martial arts world.
Then at the age of twenty-three, Zhang Wuyan broke through to the master level again, shocking Xiaobai and the others speechless.
