Chapter 171 Qi Training Level 8 and Ambush

The following days.

Zhou Ling raised fish and farmed in Ziyun Sect, and at the same time 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 focuses on physical cultivation, the price of these second-level spiritual objects is not high, and the quantity is quite large.

This also surprised Zhou Ling.

Before he knew it, another month had passed. In addition to the second-level spiritual objects he had absorbed, he had also accumulated ten second-level ores in his hand.

The speed of stimulating the Five Elements Thunder Gang Body is also greatly accelerated.

However, after a quick calculation, it was already December in Qingyun Immortal City, and in mid-December, there would be an assessment by the Tiangong Department.

Therefore, 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.

Therefore, 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 on 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.

An old man with a square face 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 leader and second elders of the Blood Beast Sect, 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 glint 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 boy had an opportunity to take advantage of it!"

"The sect master must destroy Ziyun Sect and avenge Lao San and Heng'er."

Deng Hu said with an angry look.

This time among those disciples was his son.

"Second Elder, don't worry. If people from the Ziyun Sect kill my Blood Beast Sect disciples, 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 furious, but he was wary of Fairy Ziyun's strength.

During this period of time, they did not dare to attack Ziyun Sect rashly.

Instead, he sent someone to secretly observe Ziyun Mountain to confirm whether Fairy Ziyun appeared.

The news now received 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!"

Du Sheng said cautiously with a sharp hawk-like gaze.

Now Fairy Ziyun is still a mystery, and he absolutely dares not go to Ziyun Mountain again.

Upon 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 lure this new Ziyun Sect leader down to Ziyun Mountain and kill him on the way."

Du Hu thought for a moment, narrowed his eyes, and said solemnly.

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 truly astonishing.

Back in the Northwest Territory, several third-level monks died under Fairy Ziyun's sword.

Moreover, Fairy Ziyun is cruel and ruthless, and 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 also cared 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 Ziyun Sect because of that mineral vein, so we will continue to work hard on that mineral vein!"

Du Sheng turned his eyes and 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: The farming expert reaches the second level, and the farming effect is doubled]

[The total number of times you picked spiritual grains, elixirs, or captured spiritual beasts: 101/1,000]

On the wooden board extending from the shore into the lake, Zhou Ling was scattering bamboo leaves into the lake.

"Huh."

Zhou Ling scanned the lake with his consciousness and found that there were many less spiritual fish in it.

It's normal to think about it. I have eaten a lot these days, and I have eaten a lot of it, plus the purple-scaled fish with stimulated blood.

At this rate, the spiritual fish in the lake will not last for a few months.

What we need to do now is to let the spiritual fish give birth to offspring as soon as possible.

Then we can cultivate the young fish. After all, with the help of the [Expert in Farming] talent, I can feed the spiritual fish myself.

Their growth rate has now doubled.

Next, as long as the spiritual fish are kept stable, they will be able to grow rapidly.

Originally, only the beastmaster could make the spiritual fish and spiritual beasts grow quickly.

But now Zhou Ling has the help of [Expert in Farming], and the effect is better than that of the beastmaster.

With this [Expert in Farming] talent, he does not need to consume much spiritual power. He only needs to feed directly, and the growth rate of the spiritual beasts and spiritual fields can be doubled.

Therefore, the entire Ziyun Mountain will enter an efficient cycle next.

The growth rate of the spiritual fields doubles, the growth rate of the spiritual medicine doubles, and the spiritual bamboo and spiritual grain produced to feed the spiritual fish can double again.

In this way, it won't be long before his talent of [Farming Expert] is improved again, and the effect will be doubled.

This Ziyun Sect will be a treasure land in the future.

Zhou Ling was very happy about this.

With this harvest, he doesn't have to worry about the high consumption of entering the Ancient Cloud Realm in the future.

Zhou Ling scattered the remaining baskets of bamboo leaves into the lake.

Soon, dozens of spirit fish smelled the scent of the spirit bamboo and swam over quickly. In just ten blinks of an eye, they swept away all the spirit bamboo leaves.

[You are feeding spirit fish, Farming Expert +1, Spirit Fish Growth +2]

"If you give them higher-grade spirit medicine, the effect will be better."

Watching the spirit fish in the lake fighting for the spirit bamboo leaves, Zhou Ling thought in his heart.

"Chi Chi!"

In the air, the Golden Fire Crow flapped its wings and flew, landing on the wooden fence, calling towards Zhou Ling.

"Oh, Xiao Jin, are you hungry too?"

Sensing the thoughts conveyed by the Golden Fire Crow, Zhou Ling smiled and said.

Then he pointed at the spiritual fish in the lake, "Go catch it yourself!"

These days, as Zhou Ling injected the blood beast seal into the bodies of the Golden Fire Crow and the Stone Rock Rat, they all entered the second stage.

Especially the Golden Fire Crow, whose body has increased several times. Now that it has spread out a pair of fire wings, its body is nearly half a meter long.

"Chi Chi!"

The Golden Fire Crow cried, flapped its wings, and flew towards the lake.

As the water splashed on the surface, a blood spiritual fish weighing dozens of kilograms was caught by its sharp claws.

Then the Golden Fire Crow flapped its wings and flew into the air with great dominance.

Zhou Ling also left Ziyun Lake.

······.

In a flash, another five days passed.

Ziyun Sect, Ziyun Courtyard, in the training room.

"Huh!"

"Finally I have reached the eighth level of Qi training!"

Zhou Ling, dressed in a black robe, sat upright on the stone bed, opened his eyes, and had a hint of joy on his face.

The five elements of spiritual energy are abundant in Ziyun Mountain Ziyun Courtyard, and the "Five Elements Qianyang True Art" is very suitable for him to practice.

With the help of talents such as [Born with Talent] and [Aura Affinity], his practice speed has obviously accelerated.

After more than a month, the number of spiritual points opened in his body has reached 71, and he has entered the eighth level of Qi training.

Originally, due to the practice of "Five Elements Qianyang True Art", the progress was a little slow.

But with the blessing of various talents, the speed has caught up.

Pinch He calculated that it had been only half a year since he last broke through the seventh level of Qi training, and his cultivation had broken through to the eighth level.

This was much faster than he expected.

This speed was no less than that of cultivators with upper-grade or even top-grade spiritual roots.

It took a long time for Zhou Ling to calm down.

Then, he spread his palm, and a group of five-element shining flames moved flexibly, illuminating the entire training room with a dazzling light.

As his cultivation level improved, the five-element spirit flame also improved significantly.

"Now the five-element spirit flame has reached the middle stage of the second grade, and it can already practice the secret technique of "Five-element Qianyang True Secret"! "

Zhou Ling murmured with a look of joy on his face.

However, "The Five Elements Qianyang True Secret" is a mid-level Xuan-level skill, and its secret power is quite powerful.

It is not easy to open up the secret meridians for circulation, and now he has the means of sword formation, soul attack, etc., so there is no rush for the time being.

This time, after advancing to the eighth level of Qi training, Zhou Ling also felt that his strength has improved significantly.

The most obvious thing is that the mana in the five elements meridians has increased by more than doubled compared to the original.

With the current strength 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 cultivators, even without other means, relying on the Five Elements Sword Art.

He can also challenge.

As long as the secret method is successfully cultivated, his strength will be even stronger.

At that time, it is also very likely to defeat the cultivators in the early stage of foundation-building with his own magic power.

As for the soul, it is also a big improvement.

But because his consciousness has already reached the first level of foundation-building, the progress is relatively not so obvious.

"It's been five days, why haven't the ore been collected yet?"

Zhou Ling stood up, stretched his waist, and looked puzzled.

Originally, according to the agreement, the ore mined by the Qi family in the past three months should be handed over to the sect in the next few days.

But after four or five days, there is still no news.

"If there is still no news in two days, 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 came to the courtyard, Liu Yue'er and Zhou Ling, who were 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 mineral vein is south of our Ziyun Mountain, about sixty miles away from us."

"Occasionally, we have disciples who go to collect 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 you! You still have to accept them first."

Zhou Ling thought to himself.

In this situation, it is understandable that the Qi family would be worried about encountering Blood Beast Sect disciples on the road.

"It's sixty miles away, so there's no harm in collecting it!"

Zhou Ling thought for a moment, curled up the corners of his 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 level has increased greatly, 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 handle it, he can escape quickly with the help of the magical power of beast flames.

Afterwards, the two left Ziyun Mountain and leapt towards the south.

······．

Ten miles away from Ziyun Mountain, there is a jungle.

The two leaping figures in the air suddenly stopped.

[There is a second-level body refining monk ambushing 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 eyebrows 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 opponent was probably a disciple of the Blood Beast Sect.

"Targeted!"

Hearing this, Liu Yue'er was also slightly startled.

However, her spiritual awareness was not high, so she did not notice the visitor for a moment.

Of course, when Zhou Ling said this, she would not have any doubts.

"Sect Master, what should we do?"

Liu Yue'er 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 kill them!"

Zhou Ling looked indifferent and chuckled.

Through his spiritual inspection, he quickly grasped the other party's situation.

One 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.

Golden Fire Crow and Stone Rock Rat have already entered the second level, which is more than enough to deal with the three late first-level physical cultivators.

As for the mid-level second-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.

With two lights and shadows flashing.

Golden Fire Crow and 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 lurks behind a rock.

"Boy, I didn't expect to be discovered by you. You are indeed a disciple of Fairy Ziyun!"

After a few swishing sounds, several figures with strong auras came to a place ten feet behind Zhou Ling and the others like streams of light.

The leader among them is a middle-aged man with a rough appearance and a full-blooded look.

It was none other than 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 with vigilance.

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.

From the storage bag, the Fire Gang Sword and the Eight-Way Magic Sword came out, lined up in the air, and quickly attacked the middle-aged man in front of them.

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 make a quick decision!

"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 son.

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 the current situation, he was also shocked.

It seems that Fairy Ziyun is really still alive.

"Hundred Swords Formation, cut!"

Zhou Ling's mind moved, and he shouted loudly.

He instantly activated the portable sword formation, and at the same time sent orders to the Golden Fire Crow and the Stone Rock Rat to attack.

Nine flying swords slashed at Deng Hu at the same time.

In an instant, the sword light whistled, and the sword light enveloped the void.

Under the guidance of the Fire Gang Sword, it condensed into a flame sword furnace and pounced towards Deng Hu.

"Hey!"

At the same time, the Golden Fire Crow and the Stone Rock Rat also turned into streams of light, as fast as lightning, and pounced on the other three Blood Beast Sect disciples.

The Golden Fire Crow opened its huge mouth like a flame, spewed out a hot fireball, and bombarded the burly man with a beard on the right.

At the same time, a pair of sharp claws flashed with golden light and pounced on him.

The rock rat was like a rolling dirt ball, blasting towards the muscular man on the left.

One high and one low, both at very fast speeds, their coordination was seamless.
