Chapter 73 Black Dragon Stream (4000 words, please subscribe)
After spending some time and secretly investigating the target customers, Zhang Wuyan took action without hesitation.
One foundation building pill after another was sold, and there were more and more spiritual stones in his storage bag.
After not taking any action for too long and only selling fifty Foundation Establishment Pills, Zhang Wuyan hid again.
Last time it was the first time, Ming Yanzong's response was not fast enough, so he was able to sell more.
Ming Yanzong's response this time will definitely be faster than last time, so Zhang Wuyan stopped in time and did not let himself fall into an irreversible situation due to greed.
Zhang Wuyan's timely stoppage was indeed extremely correct, because not long after he took action, Ming Yanzong got the news and began to conduct a secret investigation.
But they still found nothing, couldn't find anything.
First, because Zhang Wuyan's appearance was so changeable, Ming Yanzong really couldn't find anything useful.
Secondly, Zhang Wuyan was not greedy and stopped in time, not letting them catch the little tail.
After earning a fortune in spiritual stones, Zhang Wuyan hid himself, continued to practice in seclusion, and raised his Qi refining cultivation to the second level of foundation building.
In fact, Zhang Wuyan's combat power is not weak, but rather very powerful. With all his strength, he can kill an ordinary immortal cultivator on the third level of foundation building without any problem, and can even kill an immortal cultivator on the fourth level of foundation building.
If you throw out a large number of talismans, you can even defeat higher-level foundation-building immortal cultivators.
It's just that Zhang Wuyan has always believed in seeking victory in a stable manner, and he is not even willing to do level battles, let alone cross-level challenges.
He has strong strength and trump cards that other cultivators may not have.
If you meet a low-key strong man, wouldn't it cost you your life?
The best way is not to provoke anyone, keep a low profile, and survive until the day it lasts forever.
After the breakthrough, Zhang Wuyan practiced for another year.
"Fellow Daoist Shen has not been back for more than two years. Could it be that something happened?"
Zhang Wuyan frowned. Ever since Shen Luoluo went out to practice, she would come back every other year.
More than two years have passed since the last time she and Zhang Wuyan were separated, and she hasn't come back yet. This can't help but make Zhang Wuyan think a lot.
It's not that Shen Luoluo must come back to see him. He won't be happy if he doesn't see him. Shen Luoluo also has her own things to do. She is not Zhang Wuyan's vassal. Zhang Wuyan is just worried that something will happen to his friend.
There will definitely be dangers when practicing outside. If Shen Luoluo encounters any danger, he will be in big trouble.
It's even possible that she is already dead, either killed or died somewhere in a secret place.
"Don't think too much. Fellow Daoist Shen is blessed with good luck and will not get into trouble so easily."
Zhang Wuyan left the place where he had been in seclusion for many years, "No matter what, I should go find out about Fellow Daoist Shen, at least to confirm that she is still alive."
Zhang Wuyan transformed into a middle-aged immortal cultivator at the ninth level of qi training. He first came outside Ouyang's house.
Shen Luoluo is the guest elder of the Ouyang family. She often practices here. If nothing happens, she will come to the Ouyang family to practice even if she doesn't see her.
Using some random tricks, Zhang Wuyan captured a sixth-level Qi practitioner from the Ouyang family.
"Senior, don't kill me. I'll give you whatever you want. I'm from the Ouyang family. It would be troublesome for you to kill me."
This man used both soft and hard tactics. Zhang Wuyan laughed dumbly and said, "I'm just going to ask you a little question."
"Senior, please ask, I must know everything and tell you everything."
"Where is your guest elder Shen Luoluo?"
"Elder Shen?" This man did not expect this question, and he hurriedly said: "Shen Luoluo has been away from the family for more than two years. I don't know where she went?"
"You said she hasn't come back for more than two years?"
"That's right."
After hearing the news, Zhang Wuyan frowned deeply. Shen Luoluo did not come to see him or return to Ouyang's house. He must have encountered some trouble during the training process.
Zhang Wuyan let go of the Ouyang family, transformed into a middle-aged immortal cultivator at the eighth level of Qi training, and then left the Ouyang family.
"The world is so big, it's really hard to find the whereabouts of Fellow Daoist Shen."
Shen Luoluo should not leave the sphere of influence of the Ming Yan Sect, but even the sphere of influence of the Ming Yan Sect is only a hundred thousand miles away. How easy is it to find someone?
What's more, Shen Luoluo listened to his advice and stayed low-key and careful during the training, which made it even more difficult to find her.
Maybe she doesn't use her real name to the outside world, but uses a pseudonym.
She doesn't have "Thousand Fantasy Jue", but her appearance may also change.
No matter what, Zhang Wuyan should still go find her.
Since Shen Luoluo was not at Ouyang's house, he probably wasn't in Xingguo either. Zhang Wuyan decided to leave Xingguo to look for him.
After he left Xingguo, he went in the direction of Ming Yanzong.
There are more opportunities in Ming Yanzong, and many immortal cultivators will choose that direction to practice, and no one will go to the direction of Qi to practice.
Zhang Wuyan acted with the cultivation level of the eighth level of Qi training along the way. This strength is not too strong and will not attract the attention of the foundation-building experts.
Even if someone wants to do harm to him, it is only a cultivator in the realm of Qi training who does harm to him. He can kill him at will to ensure his absolute safety.
The further you go towards the Ming Yan Sect, you can see more and more immortal cultivators, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth becomes more and more intense.
Even Zhang Wuyan, a rare foundation-building expert in Xingguo, occasionally saw them flying through the sky.
"No wonder many immortal cultivators come here to practice. If I were to practice step by step, I would also come here to practice."
Zhang Wuyan finally saw a glimpse of the world of cultivating immortals.
However, the sky is huge, and he still doesn't know where to look for Shen Luoluo. He can't search aggressively, he can only investigate and search silently and secretly.
One year.
Three years.
Five years.
Eight years.
During this period, he went back to the place where he was in retreat in Xingguo. He left something there that would be discovered when Shen Luoluo comes back, but Shen Luoluo did not come back.
"I have actually seen this senior."
In a market, a ninth-level qi practitioner with a long beard looked at the portrait of Shen Luoluo in Zhang Wuyan's hand, "That was ten years ago, I saw that she seemed to have entered the black dragon. Jian.”
"Black Dragon Stream?!"
Zhang Wuyan thought it was good to finally get the news about Shen Luoluo, but he didn't expect it to be Heilongjian.
"Fellow Daoist Shen, Friend Daoist Shen, I have warned you ten thousand times to be careful, why did you go to the Black Dragon Stream?"
Zhang Wuyan sighed in his heart, it was already certain that Shen Luoluo had died.
In fact, there had been no news about Shen Luoluo in the past few years. Zhang Wuyan had guessed that something had probably happened to Shen Luoluo. Now it was nothing more than confirmation of his suspicion.
Even Jindan Zhenren couldn't get out of that place in Heilongjian, let alone Shen Luoluo.
I don't know what treasures there are there that can attract Shen Luoluo to risk his life.
Black Dragon Stream is a desperate place within the sphere of influence of the Ming Yan Sect. Of course, there is no black dragon in it, but an extremely terrifying demonic snake.
The demonic snake itself is not too strong. Although it is in the realm of golden elixir, Mingyan Sect has several golden elixir masters, so there is no problem in killing it.
But the key issue is Heilongjian.
The golden elixir demon snake is entrenched in the Black Dragon Stream. I don't know what the secret is. With the help of the power of the Black Dragon Stream, it can explode with extremely terrifying strength.
A single Jindan Master would only die if he entered the Black Dragon Stream. There was a Jindan Master from the Mingyan Sect who died in the Black Dragon Stream.
Ming Yanzong wanted to avenge the Jindan master, so he gathered several Jindan masters to attack Heilongjian, but in the end they were unable to capture the demonic snake.
Since then, Black Dragon Stream has become a desperate place, and no immortal cultivator dares to enter it.
Everyone who went in, without any accident, died.
Of course, the demonic snake did not dare to leave the Black Dragon Stream. Once it left, the Jindan Masters of the Mingyan Sect would come out to destroy it.
Not only for revenge, but also because the demon snake is full of treasures.
Unless Shen Luoluo has the strength of the Yuanying realm, it is impossible for Shen Luoluo to leave the Black Dragon Stream alive.
Zhang Wuyan sighed deeply and turned off his thoughts to find Shen Luoluo again.
It is impossible for him to go to Black Dragon Stream to die.
"Fellow Daoist Shen, when I reach the Nascent Soul realm, I will kill that demonic snake to avenge you."
If the demon snake has also reached the realm of Yuanying at that time, Zhang Wuyan will cultivate to the realm of transformation into gods and then avenge Shen Luoluo.
If the demon snake dies before Zhang Wuyan is stronger than it, Zhang Wuyan will cramp its muscles, peel off its skin, crush its bones and scatter its ashes to avenge Shen Luoluo.
After looking for Shen Luoluo for eight years, it was time to do something on my own.
Zhang Wuyan's original plan was that no matter whether Shen Luoluo was found or not, after the outcome of this matter, he would return to Xingguo to continue practicing in seclusion.
However, within these eight years, he discovered something that made him change his mind.
That is...the role of the first-level spiritual land in increasing the speed of cultivation.
He went to a first-level spiritual land once and practiced hard there, only then did he realize how stupid he had been before.
In the past, he always thought that the first-level spiritual land was not much better than the non-level spiritual land. Even if he practiced in the first-level spiritual land, it would be just like that, just like him finding a place outside to retreat and practice quietly.
Even though Shen Luoluo had told him about the great role of the first-order spiritual land, Zhang Wuyan believed in himself even more.
After real practical experience, he realized that he was wrong before, really wrong.
So he didn't want to go back. He wanted to find a first-level spiritual land and practice in a first-level spiritual land.
Having said that, this is not a simple matter.
First of all, all first-order spiritual lands have owners. There is no unowned first-order spiritual land, and he has no idea or strength to occupy a first-order spiritual land.
He can only choose among the existing first-level spiritual lands.
This leaves two options.
First, if you join a certain cultivating family and become one of its elders, you will naturally be qualified to practice in the family's first-level spiritual land.
This method is the method chosen by most people, but it is not very good for Zhang Wuyan.
Cultivation families have conflicts with each other, and it is not easy to be a guest elder. You must be ready to contribute to your family at any time. Fighting is unavoidable.
Although the Immortal Cultivation Family he belongs to will give generous rewards before and after each battle, Zhang Wuyan would rather not get rewarded than take risks by fighting with others.
The more times he fought, the more difficult he would encounter. He would rather choose a non-level spiritual land than fight in exchange for the right to use a first-level spiritual land.
In this case, only the second option is feasible.
Join Ming Yanzong.
As long as they can become Ming Yan Sect's disciples, even the lowest level outer disciples can practice free of charge in Ming Yan Sect's first-level spiritual land.
This is the privilege of Ming Yan Sect disciples, and it is also one of the reasons why many immortal cultivators are eager to join Ming Yan Sect.
Zhang Wuyan inquired for a long time and found out several ways to join the Ming Yan Sect.
One is that Master Jindan can become a guest elder of the Ming Yan Sect. Not only can he receive generous rewards, but he can also practice in a second-level spiritual land.
Zhang Wuyan naturally did not consider this.
He couldn't even think about it.
The second method is for a genius to join the Mingyan Sect. Not only can he enter the spiritual world to practice, but he can also receive vigorous training from the Mingyan Sect.
This method is also not feasible. Geniuses need to detect talent and age, and Zhang Wuyan will be exposed if he leaves.
Moreover, Zhang Wuyan did not want to enter the Ming Yan Sect as a genius, that would be too eye-catching.
He wanted to enter the Ming Yan Sect with an ordinary, unobtrusive identity.
He has already thought of a way, which is to replace an ordinary outer disciple in Ming Yan Sect and practice in Ming Yan Sect as that ordinary outer disciple.
Zhang Wuyan had an idea and began to investigate secretly.
A year later, he finally found a goal.
The target's name happens to be Lin Fan, and his talent for cultivating immortals is not very strong. It would have been impossible for him to join the Ming Yan Sect based on his talent for cultivating immortals.
Ming Yan Sect's requirements for accepting disciples are quite high, and not everyone wants them.
The reason why Lin Fan was able to join the Ming Yan Sect was because his parents were disciples of the Ming Yan Sect and had made some contributions to the Ming Yan Sect, so he was qualified to join the Ming Yan Sect.
There are many such people in the Ming Yan Sect, and many people will try to help their juniors to enter the Ming Yan Sect in order to find a future for them.
In any case, joining the Ming Yan Sect, even if you are just the lowest disciple, will lead a better life than being a casual cultivator.
Lin Fan's parents unfortunately died during a certain experience, leaving Lin Fan alone, struggling to cultivate in the Ming Yan Sect.
Zhang Wuyan investigated and found several similar targets. The reason why he chose Lin Fan was because Lin Fan failed in the training not long ago and no one knew about it except him.
After all, apart from him secretly investigating these people, who else would care about them?
If they die, they will die, and Ming Yanzong will not take it seriously.
Too many disciples of Ming Yan Sect die every year due to training, and the top management of Ming Yan Sect only cares about those talented disciples or their own descendants.
Lin Fan doesn't like any of them.
This exactly meets Zhang Wuyan's requirements.
"From today on, I am Lin Fan, an outer disciple of the Mingyan Sect at the third level of Qi training."
Zhang Wuyan's appearance and aura became exactly the same as Lin Fan's. Taking Lin Fan's jade identity card, he entered the Ming Yan Sect in a swagger.
