I save spiritual roots for the next life.

Chapter 252 The first treasure hunt
Ever since Yu Ziyu and Zhou Cang arrived here, they have often expressed their hope of using the rich resources under the swamp to quickly strengthen themselves.

After all, the battle in the Southern Territory is stalemate, and the final result is still unknown. They may need to return to the Southern Territory at any time.

The improvement of the cultivation realm cannot be achieved overnight, especially in the elixir formation stage, every small improvement in the realm is a hard work.

If you want to improve your strength quickly, you only need weapons and magic techniques.

As for talismans, puppets and other external forces that rely on skills and consume types, they are not suitable for non-craftsmen like them. Those who are too high-level cannot afford it, and those who are not high-level cannot greatly improve their strength.

Therefore, Yu Ziyu's greatest hope is to obtain high-level weapons or exotic magical powers under the swamp.

Of course, this is also the expectation of most treasure-hunting monks in the swamp. However, most of them can only barely obtain the resources to satisfy their own cultivation. There are very few who are as blessed as Lord Lone Bamboo.

"Hahaha, this is fate, Master Huang, since you have been recognized by the team members, please wait a moment." Master Duobao finished speaking and immediately called the other 11 people to come out again.

"Everyone, these two are Master Qiu and Master Fang. Master Qiu is in the middle stage of Jindan cultivation and has high-grade spiritual weapons. He is very powerful and will definitely help our Hongtian team to reach a higher level.

And this Master Fang, although he only has fake elixir cultivation, he also possesses a middle-grade spiritual weapon and has a lot of experience in actual combat methods..."

"Wait! Fake elixir? Haha~ Our Hong Tian has fallen to this? There is no room for negotiation on this matter!" The yellow-faced female cultivator immediately interrupted Duobao's words.

Nie Jinghong frowned, took a step forward, and said resolutely: "Friend Duobao, in order to repay the kindness of the former captain, I, Nie Jinghong, will never leave you for a period of time, which is considered the most benevolent and righteous. If you do this, don't blame me. He left without caring about the feelings of the captain!"

"No, absolutely not!" Several other team members also spoke out.

"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious. Don't just look at your cultivation. Maybe this fellow Taoist Fang has some kind of special magical power?" Tongshan saw this and stood up in a hurry.

Then he looked at Master Fang who was disguised in Zhoucang: "Does Master Fang have magical powers for treasure hunting, or is there something special that is useful for treasure hunting?"

Zhou Cang looked embarrassed and turned to look at Yu Ziyu.

The fact that he was brought here by Master Duobao today was the condition set by Yu Ziyu based on the strength of the middle stage of Jindan. If he wanted her to join the Hongtian team, he had to bring Zhou Cang with him.

Zhenren Duobao not only valued Yu Ziyu's strength in the middle stage of the golden elixir, but also because of Fairy Liuli's recommendation, so he was very willing.

But he also knew that the other team members might not be able to speak easily, but he didn't expect their attitude to be so firm.

This is understandable. After all, the team's treasure hunt involves distribution. One more person means one more person to share. If the strength of this person is too different from the others, no one will be willing.

"In that case, Qiu takes his leave!" Yu Ziyu understood the attitude of the members of Hong Tian's team, glanced at Master Duobao, turned around and walked out.

Zhou Cang's face turned slightly red and he followed closely.

Duobao Zhenren wanted to stay, but looking at the attitude of his team members, he could only sigh helplessly.

Li Jizhou looked at Yu Ziyu and Zhou Cang's leaving figures and shook his head secretly.

If Yu Ziyu wants to take a chance, he can't do it on his own. He may not be able to encounter a high-level treasure or treasure even if he crawls in and out of the swamp for decades.

Even if you are lucky enough to encounter it, you may not be able to get it. After all, high-level treasures may be possessed by monsters.

Therefore, he can only join an experienced and efficient treasure hunting team like Li Jizhou.

The reason why he chose Hong Tian is probably the same as Li Jizhou's idea, because Hong Tian has a third-level treasure-hunting spiritual beast.

This is much more efficient than other fairy hunting teams that only rely on treasure hunting experience.

However, Yu Ziyu cannot easily trust others, so Zhou Cang must be with him.

There are limitations.

Now, he may only be able to find an immortal-seeking team that is smaller than Hong Tian.

With the departure of Yu Ziyu and Zhou Cang, Huang Shizhen, witnessed by all the team members, swore an oath of inner demons and successfully completed the joining ceremony.

At this time, it happened to be three months since the last treasure hunt of Hong Tian's team, and its repair time was about to end, and the next operation was about to start in half a month.

Taking advantage of this period of time, Master Huangshi stayed here temporarily, and Master Tongshan explained all the details of treasure hunting to him.

That night, Yu Ziyu and Zhou Cang returned to Liuli Zhenren's house, and Zhou Cang came to see Li Jizhou with spirit wine.

Seeing Zhou Cang's dejected but unangry look, Li Jizhou knew that he had still received a blow from Hong Tian's team today.

Facing the real people in the middle stage of alchemy formation in the courtyard, he, a fake alchemy monk, was indeed a bit out of place.

Compared to when he was in the Yan Kingdom, no matter how many high-level monks there were above him, there were still more below him who were not as good as him.

So there's not much of a gap.

But here, the circle of contact is completely different.

In the Yan Kingdom and the Qingyin Valley, the fake elixir master had a certain status, but here he seemed to be at the bottom of the pile.

"I decided to transform the elixir and rebuild it!" Zhou Cang said resolutely.

Li Jizhou said nothing and looked calm.

"I must transform the elixir and rebuild it!" Perhaps seeing that Li Jizhou didn't react much, Zhou Cang raised his voice again to show his determination.

"Yeah!" Li Jizhou nodded this time.

This made Zhou Cang pause for a moment, the determined look on his face suddenly disappeared, and his eyes rolled around, feeling a little unreal.

"I said, I want to transform the elixir and rebuild it!"

"Well, then you need to gather enough pill-forming spiritual objects. Rebuilding the elixir is much more difficult than the first time. If you don't have enough pill-forming spiritual objects and high-quality crystal condensation pills, you will have a narrow escape!" Li Jizhou was very objective. said.

"You...you won't persuade me?" Zhou Cang looked at Li Jizhou in confusion.

The method of transforming elixirs and rebuilding them has been circulated for a long time, and it is not considered shocking in Qi State.

Many Kung Fu cheat shops in the Yan Kingdom basically have them.

However, it has never received much attention, and there are not many successful records of elixir transformation.

After all, most of those who need to refine the elixir and rebuild it are those who lack talent and are not well prepared when forming the elixir.

Such monks are forming pills again. How many of them can get more pill-forming spiritual objects?
Once the elixir is transformed, the success rate will be directly reduced by another [-]%.

Even if this person prepares more pill-forming resources after turning into an elixir, the result will be nothing more than a fake elixir.

Not worth the candle.

Unless the preparations for the first pill formation were poor, and this time the resources prepared far exceeded those for the first pill formation.

This situation is still relatively rare.

Moreover, there is a very high risk in the step of rebuilding the elixir.

If there is no protector of at least Nascent Soul True Lord, I am afraid that when the elixir is transformed, it will be the day of death.

But how can an ordinary fake alchemy monk be qualified to invite the True Monarch of Nascent Soul to protect him?
So under normal circumstances, if someone has the idea of ​​converting elixirs and rebuilding their cultivation, most people will persuade them to give up.

Even when Zhou Cang just expressed this idea to Yu Ziyu, Yu Ziyu thought for a long time and finally persuaded him to give up.

But Li Jizhou's reaction at this moment was unexpected.

Li Jizhou drank a glass of spiritual wine and smiled casually: "A man is determined to leave the country... When you left the city, others tried to persuade you. Was it useful?"

Zhou Cang froze instantly.

After a long time,
"I decided to transform my elixir and rebuild my cultivation!" This time, I no longer need anyone's approval.

"Do it!" Li Jizhou raised his glass.

Zhou Cang's success in condensing fake elixirs, in Li Jizhou's opinion, has reached the upper limit of his low-grade spiritual roots in this life.

And for a long time before the Demon Sect incident, he was immersed in this kind of satisfaction.And now, he wants to break through the upper limit!

With his current status, he may be qualified to ask the leader of the Wuxiang Sect to protect him.

However, it may not be easy to gather together the resources for forming pills that far exceed those for the first time.

The problem with crystal condensation elixir is not big, the main problem lies in the elixir-forming spiritual objects.

Pill-forming spiritual objects are not like treasures and elixirs. Even in the Yan Kingdom and the swamp, those things are hard to come by. They cannot be mastered by the cultivation level. Even Yu Ziyu may not be able to get them now.

As for Zhou Cang's re-cultivation of the alchemy, he also has low-grade spiritual roots. He needs at least two alchemy-forming spiritual objects, and both of them need to be among the top ten alchemy-forming spiritual objects, so that it is possible to condense the lower-level true elixir.

Li Jizhou is not very optimistic about this.

However, as the saying goes, it all depends on man-made efforts.

"The young lady and I have joined a fairy hunting team. In the next period of time, we may often go out to hunt for treasures. Don't worry, the young lady said that if we get some high-level talisman and seal treasure materials, we will give them all to you. Bring it back." Zhou Cang said before leaving.

Li Jizhou was not stingy either. He took out a few talismans from the puppet and gave them to Zhou Cang.

The puppet consumed a lot of talismans when he was in the Southern Territory. During the journey from the Southern Territory to the swamp, he almost consumed all the talismans.

Now there are only a dozen teleportation talismans left and five thunder talismans.

However, the Sky Thunder Talisman does not have much beneficial effect on the monsters and monks in the swamp who do not practice Yin evil magic. It is only equivalent to a thunder spell in the middle stage of pill formation.

Zhou Cang took the talisman and was quite excited.

In the following time, Li Jizhou has been practicing in seclusion, hoping to break through to the middle stage of Jindan.

Ten days later, Zhou Cang and Yu Ziyu left.

Before leaving, Yu Ziyu specially came to give Li Jizhou some advice, so that he could practice with peace of mind.

A few days later, Hong Tian's team also embarked on a treasure hunt.

"He Zhenren."

A team of 14 people gathered in the secret room. Master Duobao glanced at the lame Master He and nodded.

Master He didn't waste any time and immediately took out a compass and three copper coins.

As he spoke plausibly, the compass and the copper coins started to move.

He Zhenren is a fortune teller, and third-level elementary fortune tellers are rare in the entire swamp.

Except for the Gua masters who have been passed down from generation to generation in the Star Observation Tower, I am afraid that there is no one in the entire swamp.

It is against the law of heaven for a fortune teller to spy on the secrets of heaven. If he accidentally divines people or things that are beyond the scope of his fortune-telling, his lifespan will be shortened, and even his life will be counterattacked by the law of heaven.
And if you want to divine your own hexagrams, you will definitely lose your life span.

Moreover, the art of divination requires special talent.

So there are very few of them.

However, the art of divination is quite beneficial to others.

Especially in a highly risky industry like the Immortal Seeking Team.

This is also the reason why Hong Tian's team spared no effort to resolve the misunderstanding and invited him to rejoin even though Master He was lame and there was a gap between him and the team.

"The advantage is in the northwest, lucky!"

After a while, Master He put away the divination weapon and gave the answer directly without any pretense of profound explanation.

"Northwest?" The yellow-faced female cultivator frowned slightly.

"Our repeated casualties are all in the west!"

"Master He, can you tell me the details?" Master Tongshan slightly raised his hand.

Master He glanced at everyone and said expressionlessly: "The good fortune lies in the treasure, not in the person."

"It's like this again!" One person sighed slightly.

"I wonder how many casualties there will be this time?"

Master He’s words are already very clear.
This time, if you go west, you can get treasures, which is auspicious.

However, it is difficult to say whether people will be lucky or not.

"Old rules, those who don't want to go stay, and those who are willing to go, let's go!" Master Duobao always smiled and looked like a rich man.

As expected, all 14 people stood up and followed.

Those who can join the Immortal Seeking Team naturally want to have a try, how can they be afraid of danger?

As soon as everyone left the city, they all set up their escape lights, ascended to the sky, and headed in the direction pointed by Master He.

Along the way to the west, Li Jizhou clearly felt that the poisonous fog was getting thicker. It was more than twice as strong as the one from Yan State to Guzhu City.

Moreover, the visibility to the naked eye is almost only a hundred feet, and the detection of spiritual consciousness is even more limited. The real person Huangshi releases his full spiritual consciousness and can barely detect the position of the ground.

As for the swamp, it was completely dark under the black water.

Even the growth ring sensing is affected and is limited to a hundred miles.

"Alert, there is a group of 23 people fighting [-] miles ahead, heading north!" After flying for three days, the yellow-faced female cultivator at the front suddenly said.

After everyone heard this, they immediately changed their flight direction.

But Li Jizhou didn't feel anything yet.

The uniqueness of the yellow-faced female cultivator lies in her natural spiritual eyes, and she has also practiced a secret technique to increase her eyesight.

It is not an exaggeration to call it clairvoyance. Under the poisonous mist here, one can still see three hundred miles away.

When the team circled north and passed through that area, Li Jizhou's annual ring sensing had an effect, and he sensed that the number of people there was the same as what the yellow-faced nun said.

And based on the longevity of that group of people, most of those in the highest middle stage of pill formation are early stage pill formation and fake pill monks.

After another two months, Master He sent a message and everyone stopped.

Another wizened old man in the team who had barely spoken a few words walked out immediately, silently recited a few spells, and suddenly waved his hands downward.

In an instant, hundreds of flying insects flew down and rushed towards every corner below.

This old man is the only Gu Master in the team. He is a third-level early stage Gu Master with countless insect poisons. He can detect hidden dangers in areas on the ground in advance.

After waiting for three moments, the Gu Master opened his eyes and nodded towards Master Duobao.

"Everyone, let us pray to the Heavenly Lord to help us find the treasure!" Master Duobao said with a smile, knelt down and bowed respectfully to the void three times.

The reason why he doesn't wait for others is because others don't believe it!
After the worship was over, Master Tongshan looked around, then a circle of earthy yellow ripples surged around his body, and he flew down first.

The crowd followed.

After landing, the 14 people each stood in a position.

Nie Jinghong stood in front of everyone holding the Jinghong Spear. Master Tongshan put away all his magic power and stood guard at the end. Master Huangshi and his puppet were guarding the right side of the team, and another male cultivator holding a purple gold shield was guarding the left side.

The enchanting and frivolous female cultivator stood in the middle. She took out a spiritual pet bag from her waist and patted it gently. A spiritual rat about the size of a native dog, with a dark purple body and a bunch of golden bristles on its head jumped. come out.

This is Hong Tian's team's biggest advantage over other immortal-hunting teams, the mid-level third-level treasure hunting spirit rat.
