I save spiritual roots for the next life.

Chapter 250 Gilded Earth Dragon
It is not sure whether it is due to the improvement of realm or the accumulation of Changchun Gong practice. The moment he put on the phaseless mask this time, the familiar feeling was more obvious, and even echoed the simulated effect in Li Jizhou's annual rings.

When he first activated the special effect of the fourth layer of annual rings in the sea, he felt that it was similar to the mask Yu Ziyu had worn.

"Could it be that the founder of Wuxiang Sect practiced the complete Changchun Gong?" Li Jizhou had a guess.

Without further words, Li Jizhou activated the aura and blood essence of an ancient monk stored in the mask.

Follow the familiar Yu Ziyu into Guzhu City.

However, Yu Ziyu did not go to the city lord's mansion to handle the rental matter. Instead, he took the two of them directly to the opposite door of the small courtyard where Li Jizhou rented.

"For some reasons, we try not to contact the City Lord's Mansion unless absolutely necessary, so we are temporarily staying here!

The person who lives here is an old friend of mine, and we have a close relationship.

This Glazed Fairy is an extraordinary monk. She comes from the Zhongzhou Dynasty. Please try to pay attention to her. "

Approaching the door, Yu Ziyu sent a message to explain.

Looking at the familiar concierge, Li Jizhou's heart moved slightly.

Over the past three years, he had several interactions with Master Liuli, but Li Jizhou showed reluctance to have a deep friendship, and eventually their relationship gradually faded away.

"Sister Liuli, an old friend is here to visit!" Although Yu Ziyu did not take off the mask to disguise herself, her voice returned to her own voice.

"Sister Ziyu?"

Opposite are four large mansions, and Liuli Zhenren only has four maids to accompany him all year round. He showed great enthusiasm for Yu Ziyu's visit.

After Master Liuli invited the three people into the courtyard, Yu Ziyu immediately took off his mask.

"Sister Liuli, long time no see!"

Master Liuli looked at Yu Ziyu with a nostalgic smile on his face, but without any words, he took a step forward and hugged Yu Ziyu tightly.

"It's been decades since we parted again, time flies!" After a moment, the two let go, and Master Liuli helped Yu Ziyu fiddle with the hair on his forehead with a smile.

"My sister may have to bother her for a long time this time." Yu Ziyu was no longer the usual rigid family leader, and acted very unrestrained in front of Master Liuli.

"What did you say? My sister will be happy if you can stay with her for a long time." Master Liuli pointed at Yu Ziyu's forehead.

"Oh, by the way, sister, these are my two clan brothers." Yu Ziyu then turned to introduce Zhou Cang and Li Jizhou to Master Liuli.

"Zhou Cang, Ji Zhou, why don't you take off your masks quickly? Sister Liuli is not an outsider. There is also a quasi-fourth level shielding formation here, so it's okay."

Hearing this, Zhou Cang and Li Jizhou took off their phaseless masks and put them away at the same time.

"I've seen Fairy Liuli!"

"There is no need to be polite. Since he is Ziyu's clan brother, he is also my Liuli's younger brother. There is no need to be restrained here." Liuli's spiritual consciousness swept over the two of them one by one in the middle stage of pill formation.

That night, Li Jizhou and Zhou Cang were arranged in the side courtyard.

Yu Ziyu and Liuli Zhenren talked all night long.

"Do it!" Zhou Cang couldn't help but took out a few bottles of precious spirit wine from his storage bag, and sat with Li Jizhou under the pavilion in the side courtyard, recalling the bitterness and sweetness.

"Do it!" Li Jizhou also took a high look at Zhou Cang's bravery in fighting against the Demon Sect over the years.

"It's been...one hundred...and four years!" After drinking a glass of wine, Zhou Cang squinted and looked in the direction of Qi Guo's Upside Down Mountain.

"One hundred and four years!" After another drink, Zhou Cang shook his head with a smile.

"How many of our group are still alive now? I'm afraid it's just the two of us, right?"

Li Jizhou smiled faintly and shook his head.

After resurrecting his life, he is no longer a sentimental person.

Everything that has passed away is like smoke and will not have any impact on his state of mind.

However, he also understood Zhou Cang.

Human beings are not like vegetation, they are born with emotions.

No matter how vicious a person is, he must still have softness in his heart.

Moreover, Zhou Cang lived a full 120 years. Apart from the life-and-death crisis when he first escaped from Daixuan Mountain, Zhou Cang lived for [-] years and followed Yu Ziyu to fight for a future.

If you haven't even experienced love, how can you expect your heart to be like water?

"By the way, didn't you and Lin Caiwei have a life-long private relationship when you were a child? Why didn't you become a Taoist couple in the end?" Recalling the past, Zhou Cang suddenly asked.

Li Jizhou smiled casually: "Children's jokes cannot be taken seriously."

"What do you think of Sister Yu?" Zhou Cang said again.

"Excellent talent, unparalleled genius, noble character, and stunning beauty!" Li Jizhou made no secret of it, and didn't even send a message, but said directly.

Zhou Cang immediately gave a thumbs up, and then said via voice:
"Then have you ever thought about becoming a Taoist couple with Sister Yu?"

"My cultivation is shallow and my strength is low. I have never thought about Taoist companions." Li Jizhou smiled and shook his head.

"You've already formed a true elixir, and you still don't want to be a Taoist companion? What's the matter? Do you still want to turn into a baby?" Zhou Cang suddenly said in disbelief.

Zhou Cang's question made Li Jizhou slightly speechless.

With his qualifications, forming a true elixir is already an incredible opportunity, but transforming into an infant is absolutely impossible!
"It all depends on human effort!" Li Jizhou finally spit out four words.

These four words made Zhou Cang pause for a moment.

The fact that he was able to score in the second grade and say that he will never return to the world of fame is enough to illustrate his ambition as a boy.

However, after these years of experience, he has resigned himself to his fate.

Can form false elixirs,

In recent years, due to his achievements in exterminating demons and defending the Tao, he has been taught the Dharma by the leader. With his strength not inferior to that of ordinary true elixirs in the early stage, he is already satisfied.

The fake elixir has a lifespan of three hundred years, and he still has 200 years to live. Compared with his childhood peers, he already feels at ease.

Just wait until the disaster of the Demon Sect is over, find a Taoist companion, and become a housekeeper in the Yu family, and this life will be over.

After a moment of silence, Zhou Cang looked at Li Jizhou again, a fire that had long been extinguished in his heart became a little uneasy again.

"You said, what is the purpose of people's practice?" He suddenly realized that he had never thought about it carefully since he really started to practice.

Initially it was just to be better than others.

Later it was to survive.

Later, it was to be able to repay Yu Ziyu's life-saving grace.

Now it is to help Yu Ziyu in his great cause of exterminating demons and defending Taoism.

Li Jizhou didn't answer, just raised his glass and drank it all.

Why practice?
In the world of spiritual practice, which newbie has never thought about climbing to the top of the mountain, ascending to the immortal world, and living as long as the heavens?

However, after truly embarking on spiritual practice and experiencing many obstacles,

Most people are just pushed forward by the current of the times.

As for ascending to immortality, attaining enlightenment and immortality...how many people dare to hope for that?
-
The next day, Yu Ziyu brought two jade talismans, which allowed him to freely enter and exit the quasi-fourth-level magic circle in this courtyard.

"Ji Zhou, given the current war situation in the Eastern Barren South Territory, we may have to stay here for a long time to cultivate. When the cultivation is boring, you can walk around the city.

However, this city is not completely safe, and you need to be careful when walking in the city.

There are many rare treasures in the Yan Kingdom in the trading area in the city. You can take a look and get a good understanding of the situation in the swamp.

Also, just in case, don't show your true face again as soon as you leave this hospital.

If there is any danger, notify me as soon as possible. "Yu Ziyu warned again.

"Thank you, Sister Yu. I'll remember it." Li Jizhou took the jade talisman.

The side courtyard where he and Zhou Cang lived had a small pond in the middle, a rockery pavilion, and a room facing north and south, so they didn't disturb each other's practice.

After Zhou Cang finished drinking last night, he rushed into the room and has not come out yet.

After sending Yu Ziyu away, Li Jizhou didn't hesitate much, put on the phaseless mask and walked out from the side door of the side courtyard.

Liu Hongling hurriedly visited this morning and said that the tribe had determined the location of the monster with the spirit of the earth.

Li Jizhou did not shy away and agreed to his request.

Now Liu Hongling and the Liu family have rushed to arrange it first.

The puppet left Liuli Zhenren's house and walked around the outer city market. After encountering the real person Huang Zhenren, the two exchanged.

Li Jizhou took the phaseless mask and transformed into the ancient real person, and returned to Liuli Mansion.

The puppet took on the appearance of Huangshi's real person and flew out of the city following Liu Hongling's direction.

Compared with living alone in a small courtyard, Liuli Zhenren's residence now has two middle-stage elixir formations. Especially since Yu Ziyu is a powerful monk in the middle-stage elixir formation, the security is naturally greatly increased.

Li Jizhou is now approaching the middle stage of the Golden Elixir, so naturally he is a master of cultivation, so living here is the best choice.

A set of chessboard formations enveloped his practice room, and Li Jizhou practiced with concentration.

The distraction controlled the stand-in puppet and arrived three thousand miles north of Lone Bamboo City.

"Huang Zhenren, that third-level monster is in the swamp a hundred miles ahead, and it will wait in this hiding formation for a while until we can introduce it into the confinement formation!"

The five most powerful members of the Liu family are now hiding in the magic circle.

A set of third-level confinement arrays were arranged on the edge of the swamp in front. In the array, there was a blood essence pill that was overflowing with elixirs.This elixir is quite attractive to monsters.

"Well, remember what Pindao said before. When the monster enters the magic circle, you should retreat a hundred miles and wait patiently. Whether it succeeds or not, Pindao will give you an explanation." Li Jizhou nodded.

When he promised Liu Hongling this morning, he had already made a promise. When he did it himself, he was not allowed to peep, and he made it clear that he did not want to expose the secret.

This is also very consistent with the Liu family's suspicion about Li Jizhou.

"Please rest assured, Mr. Huang, we all understand that as long as the monster enters the magic circle, we will leave without looking back, and we will definitely not have any voyeuristic intentions!" The five members of the Liu family nodded frequently.

Time passed little by little, and half a day later, a wave of waves suddenly appeared in the swamp that was originally like a pool of stagnant water.

Immediately, a great demon aura filled the place.

"Here he comes, the earth energy he carries is very strong." Liu Hongling said excitedly.

The most important thing for an Earth Spirit Master to advance to the third level is to absorb the energy of the earth from the body of a monster.

The stronger it is, the higher the chance of success.

At this moment, Liu Hongling even felt that her own spirituality was resonating.

However, the next moment,
A five-foot-long demonic beast covered in gold, resembling an earth dragon, but with hundreds of legs crawled out of the black water of the swamp.

What made everyone nervous the most was that the aura of this monster was clearly at the mid-level of the third level!
For them, they dare not even think about the mid-level third-level monsters.

So what they have been looking for are monsters in the early third level.

What Liu Hongling needs is to absorb the spirit of the earth from the monster beast, and he needs to capture it alive for sacrifice.

With the most advantageous formation method in their clan, it is very difficult to capture the early third level monsters alive, and it is impossible for the mid-level third level monsters.

In fact, it is almost impossible for ordinary mid-level pill-forming monks to capture the third-level mid-level monster alive.

"Mid-level three!" The Liu family trembled in their hearts.

Liu Hongling gritted her teeth and looked at Li Jizhou.

Li Jizhou also frowned slightly.

For the third-order early-stage monsters, with the strength of the shadow puppet, it is actually very easy.

As for the mid-level third-level monsters... Shadow, they have to use the magical power of spatial confinement.

In fact, it is not difficult.

However, what was promised to the Liu family was the early stage of the third order, not the middle stage of the third order.

For a moment, the hiding formation was as silent as a cicada.

"Zhenren Huang, I'm extremely sorry. This happened because my Liu family was careless. I never expected that it turned out to be a mid-level third-order monster.

Let's give up today.

When we return to the city, our Liu family will definitely compensate Master Huang. "In the end, Liu Zhengfeng spoke first.

"Brother, this... took three years of hard work... If we don't let Zhenren Huang try it, if this beast has just been promoted to the middle stage, he may not have much strength yet." Another elder of the Liu family said unwillingly. .

"Yes, Mr. Huang, why don't you give it a try, just in case..."

"Shut up! What Huang Zhenren promised us is a third-level elementary monster. This matter is only because we did not investigate clearly and has nothing to do with Zhenren Huang." Liu Zhengfeng said righteously.

Li Jizhou didn't react at all to the words of several people, but just sensed Liu Hongling's energy.

What no one noticed was that Liu Hongling's whole body was trembling slightly since she sensed the spirit of the earth in the gilded earth dragon.

His eyes were almost ready to spit fire.

Looking at Li Jizhou's back, his mouth opened and closed several times, but he finally bit it forcefully.

"Plop!" Finally, she couldn't help it anymore.

"I beg Master Huang to take action. Regardless of success or failure, Hong Ling will be a slave and a maid for the rest of his life, and he will act like a cow or a horse, no matter what!"

"Hongling!" The elder of the Liu family suddenly exclaimed.

Although Liu Hongling is not a third-level earth spiritual master now, he can be considered a second-level earth spiritual master. How can he be a slave?

And the Liu family is destined to be handed over to him.

However, Liu Hongling looked at the gilded earth dragon beast at the moment, and the scenes of failing his people over the years flashed through his mind like a revolving lantern, and he had completely restrained himself.

"Master, uncles and brothers, Hongling can't wait any longer, and I don't want you to sacrifice for me anymore. This time I'm looking for this beast, seven more members of my tribe have been killed. Hongling can never watch my tribe die for me again." Liu Hongling. Kneel down and worship everyone in the Liu family.

Then, without waiting for anyone to respond, he knelt in front of Li Jizhou again.

He took out a small knife and slashed the palm of his hand, then slapped his bloody hand on his heavenly spirit: "I, Liu Hongling, hereby swear..."

He actually made a blood oath to heaven and earth.

"You all stand back!"

Li Jizhou said no more.

Everyone in the Liu family was stunned for a moment.

Seeing his calm demeanor, as if he was confident, I couldn't help but feel a little hope in my heart.

"The Liu family thanks Master Huang!" Liu Zhengfeng thanked him immediately.

Liu Hongling's eyes sparkled.

Finally, after taking a look at the gold-plated earth dragon beasts that had all entered the confinement formation, the five members of the Liu family turned around resolutely and flew back.

After a moment, Li Jizhou's annual ring sensor unfolded and he confirmed that the Liu family had retreated a hundred miles away. He took out a chessboard array from his storage bag and flew towards the gilded earth dragon beast.

When he was a hundred feet away, the chessboard array in his hand was activated instantly.

A third-level shield instantly enveloped the room.

The gold-plated dragon beast on the ground sensed Li Jizhou's aura and turned around to sneak into the swamp, but was blocked by the confinement circle.

"Boom~" Facing the third-level confinement formation arranged by the Liu family, the mid-level third-level gilded earth dragon beast could not escape without ten full blows.

Li Jizhou calmly released the shadow.

The moment the shadow appeared, the quasi-fourth level power exploded out without reservation.

The Earth Dragon Beast that was frantically attacking the confinement formation suddenly paused, and its entire body trembled slightly.

The aura of the giant snake demon pill that turned into a dragon in half step obviously has a strong bloodline suppression on the earth dragon beast.

"Whoosh~" Shadow held the spiritual weapon and dodged and entered the confinement circle.

Compared to the Swift Puppet, the Shadow is not that fast, but it is still very fast for an Earthdramon that has just entered the middle of the third level.

And when he just reacted and subconsciously prepared to use the self-destructing demon pill to scare him, an obscure aura flowed in Youying's eyes.

Immediately, Earthdramon felt that the world around him had stopped.

Even the flesh, blood, meridians, mana and soul in its body were all imprisoned, as if the whole world had stopped at this moment.

However, what frightens him is that the shadow has been approaching step by step, and even the spiritual weapon in his hand has slowly pierced the side of his demon core.

It even felt bone-eroding pain.

But it just couldn't move.

This kind of despair comes from the soul...
-
Hundreds of miles behind,
"Hey, Hongling, how can you be so confused? You're too impatient." Liu Zhengfeng sighed heavily.

"Yes, Hong Ling, the head of the family just said so much, don't you understand?

That was to retreat in order to advance, because I wanted Master Huang to speak on his own. After all, although it was slightly deviated from the originally expected third-order early-stage monster,

But with Huang Zhenren's strength, even if he can't capture it, there will definitely be no danger. At worst, give it a try and give up if you can't. It's here anyway.

As a result, you... what are you in a hurry for?

You are still too young! "

"And how could you be so childish and make such a big oath? Now you are just letting Huang Zhenren try it, and you don't care about the result. If he has no intention and is really just acting, how will we know?
Then, you also want to become his slave? "

"We know your intentions and the pressure you are under. We all know it, but you are really too impatient. Maybe if you wait a little longer, Master Huang will give it a try himself, so why make such a big oath?"

"Taking a step back, if Huang Zhenren really helps you successfully advance to the third level of Earth Spirit Master, our Liu family will all agree with your decision and will remember Huang Zhenren's kindness for the rest of our lives. But... what should we do with the current situation?"

Several members of the Liu family sighed at Liu Hongling's behavior just now.

"Perhaps Huang Zhenren can really capture the Earth Dragon Beast. Patriarch, haven't you said earlier that Huang Zhenren must have hidden his strength?" Liu Hongling took a deep breath and said.

Liu Zhengfeng looked downcast, nodded, and then shook his head: "Zhenren Huang must be hiding his strength, and the Earth Dragon Beast does not pose a threat to him, but killing it and capturing it alive are two different things... Capturing a mid-level third-order monster alive is really a challenge. too……"

"How about Tai?"

At this moment, Liu Zhengfeng was mid-sentence when a faint laugh came.

"Oh!"

Immediately, a five-foot-long gilt earth dragon beast was thrown in front of everyone in the Liu family, and the gilt earth dragon beast was still twisting its body in pain.

If it wasn't the mid-level third-order earth dragon beast, what was it?
