Chronicles of Ascension: The Path to Immortality

After discovering this, Zhang Xuan was even more inspired to refine the golden elixir.

Although the Huoxu Pill and Huiqi Pill were of low grade, once they were tempered into the second-level golden elixir with the Taiqing Creation Diagram, the pill power would be much stronger than ordinary second-level pills.

"It's time to refine a few furnaces of Huoxu Pill and Huiqi Pill."

He is now at the foundation-building stage, and the Eight Flame Fire Essence is also a top-grade spiritual fire. It doesn't cost much to refine first-level pills.

It's no problem to keep refining.

Moreover, there are a lot of spiritual medicines for refining Huoxu Pill and Huiqi Pill in his storage bag.

He refined one furnace after another like popcorn.

Until all the spiritual medicines for refining Huoxu Pill and Huiqi Pill in his storage bag were used up.

At this time, a month had passed.

He had refined 80 Huoxu Golden Pills and 150 Huiqi Golden Pills.

These golden pills were naturally thrown into the Taiqing Creation Diagram to be tempered into second-level golden pills.

Looking at the golden second-level golden elixirs, Zhang Xuan smiled.

"Oh no, temple master..."

There was a cry from outside the cave.

"What happened?"

Zhang Xuan was confused and walked out of the cave.

"Temple master... the clan leader asked you to rush to the Ten Elders Palace immediately..." Zhang Sanqian reported with a heavy breath.

Zhang Xuan took out the blood-sucking bat directly, rode on the blood-sucking bat, and soon arrived at the Ten Elders Palace.

He found that the other nine clan elders were already there.

In addition to the clan elders, there was one more person - Fan Zhiyi.

Fan Zhiyi was covered with scars and one arm was broken.

"Brother Fan, your arm..." Zhang Xuan was shocked.

Fan Zhiyi is a cultivator who has reached the great perfection of foundation building.

Who else except the Golden Elixir Master can break his arm?

Could it be that the Qingyun Sect and the Tianmo Sect are fighting again in the Misty Black Lake?

"I cut off my arm myself." Fan Zhiyi said solemnly.

Zhang Xuan was even more puzzled. Why did he cut off his arm for no reason?

Once the limbs are damaged, there is almost no chance of advancing to the Golden Elixir stage.

Unless you can find an elixir or spiritual object that can regenerate the broken limbs.

"The locusts are coming..."

Fan Zhiyi's words had just fallen.

Several elders who had just arrived were shocked.

"Locusts? Are they the kind that appear in groups and turn everything into ruins?"

"Thousands of years ago, there was a locust plague that almost destroyed the entire Fairy Cat Valley."

"What should we do? The spiritual medicines we planted have just matured and are facing a plague of insects..."

Fan Zhiyi's next words made everyone's heart sink into an ice hole.

"This locust plague is probably far worse than before. The strongholds built by Qingyun Sect and Tianmo Sect in Mizhang Heize, the third-level defense formations were destroyed, dozens of foundation-building masters were defeated and died, and the Jindan master of my Tianmo Sect also died in the insect tide..."

"Ah!"

"Even the Jindan master died?"

"Even the third-level defense formation can't stop it..."

"This locust plague is going to destroy my Zhang family!"

The elders were even more distressed.

"The insect tide may reach Xianmao Valley in half an hour. Please make a decision as soon as possible." Fan Zhiyi said with a serious face.

"Chief, notify the tribe members to retreat immediately. We can't stop this insect tide!" Zhang Yujue immediately stood up and said hurriedly.

"We can't retreat. Our ancestors have been in Xianmao Valley for thousands of years. How can we just give up?" The speaker was Zhang Meng, the second elder of the tribe.

"But even the third-level formations of Qingyun Sect and Tianmo Sect, dozens of foundation-building and Jindan masters can't stop them, what can we do?" Zhang Yujue asked coldly.

At this time, all the elders were silent.

There are less than 10 foundation-building masters in the entire Xianmao Valley, how can they fight these locusts?

"Fan Daoyou, tell me about these locusts first." Zhang Yuhuai looked at Fan Zhiyi and said.

After all, the locust plague only stayed in the legend thousands of years ago.

As for what the locusts are and where they are powerful, everyone is also in the dark.

"Then I'll make a long story short. These locusts live in groups, mostly first-level monsters, each of which is only the size of a thumb, but this time the locusts attacked in hundreds of millions, carrying the power to destroy the world..."

When the elders heard this, they felt desperate.

Hundreds of millions of first-level monsters, what's the point of fighting this battle?

And Fan Zhiyi's next words made everyone even more desperate.

"These locusts are so strong that they are almost the strongest among all monsters. Even if half of their bodies are destroyed, they are still alive and kicking..."

"There are such monsters in the world? It's too weird." Zhang Xuan was shocked.

Fan Zhiyi licked his pale lips and continued: "Everyone must be wondering why I cut off my arm. Locusts have another terrible thing - reproductive ability."

"Once bitten by a locust, it will inject eggs into the host's body. These eggs have thousands of tentacles and cannot be taken out of the host's body like roots."

"These eggs will continue to absorb the host's blood and qi until the host is sucked into a dried meat, and the locust eggs will break out of the shell. I had to cut off my arm because my arm was bitten."

Fan Zhiyi's words made everyone's scalp numb.

"We, the Tianmo Sect, have been resisting for 10 days. After the death of the Jindan Master, we had to disperse and break out. Fortunately, these locusts acted collectively and did not advance very fast, so I escaped here." Fan Zhiyi said, still feeling scared.

At this time, Zhang Yuhuai suddenly stood up.

"All clan elders, listen to my orders!"

"Yes!" The other nine elders stood up.

"Immediately activate the family's second-level defense formation, forming three lines of defense: the outer collection, outer ring, and inner ring of the Fairy Cat Valley to block the locust tide!"

"Yes!"

Fan Zhiyi looked at the elders of Zhangjiaji and thought, "You are all crazy!"

"Eight elders, nine elders, and ten elders." Zhang Yuhuai looked at Zhang Xuan with cold eyes.

"Yes!"

"You lead the fire of the Zhang family and retreat immediately!"

"Patriarch..." The three elders wanted to say something.

"There is no time. We old bones will hold on first. We must stop the locust tide for at least three days. In addition, the news of the arrival of locusts must not be spread outside, otherwise we will die!"

"Yes!"

Zhang Yuhuai issued orders one by one.

Decisive and cold!

Zhang Xuan felt as if he was being tortured by something.

The patriarch had mentioned the fire plan to him a long time ago.

At the critical moment when Zhangjiaji was facing the extinction of the clan, the plan to preserve the continuation of the family was implemented.

I didn't expect it to be used so soon.

"Action!" Zhang Yuhuai gave an order.

Several elders took action.

Zhang Xuan rushed to Temple Street immediately.

His mind was confused.

Which people should be allowed to escape first as alternative fire seeds?

There were more than 2,000 people in Temple Street.

In other words, they were given 100 fire seed quotas for Zhang Xuan's sake.

In other words, only 100 people can survive, and the others must stay to resist the insect tide.

Those who stayed behind probably had only one way, and that was death.

It was impossible to survive under the billions of insect tides.
