Immortal Cultivation: Starting from Improving Spiritual Root Qualification

"Brother Yu Dao, long time no see!" Zhou Xun returned the greeting with his hands in hand.

"I've met the leader!" Tianci Zhenjun and Wang Erniu on the side also saluted!

"Haha, fellow Daoist Ji, and little friend Wang. Hey, you have also become a baby. Fellow Daoist Jiujian will be so happy when he finds out!"

True Lord Tianci had made a lot of achievements in Zhenhai Immortal City before, so Lord Yan Mo naturally knew him, and Wang Erniu followed True Lord Nine Swords in and out during that time, so he was naturally very familiar with him!

"Let's go and talk to my cave. Friends Tian and the others will be extremely happy to hear the news of your arrival!"

True Lord Yan Mo laughed and slapped Zhou Xun on the shoulder.

"Brother Taoist asks you to obey your orders!"

Zhou Xun and the God-given True Monarch Er Niu followed the True Monarch Yan Mo and left the square laughing.

In the square, everyone couldn't help but talk as they looked at the figure slowly retreating away.

"Fellow Daoist Wu, you are well-informed. Do you know where those three people came from?"

How could he be so favored by True Lord Yama?

A tall man with a wide forehead and big eyes asked the old man with white hair next to him.

"These three people are very unfamiliar. They are most likely monks who have just arrived in the Western Desert. Two early-stage and one mid-stage can make True Lord Yama treat him so differently."

"There is a high probability that he is from Zhenjun Yan Mo's hometown!"

Only friends from the younger generation from my hometown can come and receive such care.

"Yes, what Brother Wu said makes sense!" Everyone nodded.

"I didn't know that Central Continent was such a place of extraordinary celestial beings, that it could actually give birth to people like True Lord Yama, and even True Lord Yanyang of Luoyang Immortal Palace,"

"Master Wuxin of Boruo Temple will all succumb to him!"

After about half an hour, the four of them came to the door of a very impressive cave mansion.

True Lord Yama took out a dozen tokens,

The door opens automatically,

"please!"

Stepping into the cave, my eyes suddenly became brighter, with jade railings, rockeries, strange rocks, small bridges and flowing water.

"Brother Yu Dao, this cave is much better than ours!" Zhou Xun couldn't help but sigh,

But when I think about the opponent's ranking as number one on the merit list, I feel that he deserves it.

Everyone went straight to the living room and sat down separately for the guests of honor.

True Lord Yan Mo waved his hand, and the spiritual light flew out, turning into a pot of spiritual wine box and four wine glasses falling in front of him.

Then the wine pot flew up automatically and filled four wine glasses.

"This is the 'Bing Soul Wine'. It comes from the Icefield Continent. Its taste is different from ordinary spiritual wine. Try it and see!" True Lord Yan Mo said, picking up a glass of spiritual wine and taking a sip.

After Zhou Xun heard this, he also picked up the wine glass and tasted it.

As the wine enters the throat, a sense of coolness rises, making one feel like one is on the Arctic ice field, and one's thoughts seem to flow a little faster.

His eyes lit up:

"This wine is chilled and refreshing. It seems to have a special artistic conception. It should have the effect of fighting against inner demons!"

"Hahaha, I'm really keen. There are many people who have drank my 'Bing Soul Wine', but there are very few who can taste this artistic conception!"

Lord Yama laughed heartily and then asked:

"By the way, I wonder how did I get here?"

"Brother Taoist must also know that I am not from Central Continent, but from the Eastern Wilderness Cultivation World!"

"After the war ended, I returned to my hometown. Unexpectedly, I accidentally discovered a teleportation array heading to Dajin,"

"So I went with Brother Tianci and Erniu,"

"Became a Palace Master under the Great Jin Dynasty, and then was called by the Emperor of Jin to come here to hunt the ghost clan,"

"I didn't expect that as soon as I came here, I heard the reputation of Taoist brother!" Zhou Xunyan briefly and comprehensively talked about his experiences over the years,

However, the matter regarding the teleportation array was briefly mentioned.

"I see. After all, you have traveled to several continents. This kind of experience is really enviable!" Lord Yama sighed with emotion,

Thinking of him as a peak Nascent Soul monk and the first person in the battle merit list, this West Desert is the second world of cultivation he has come to.

"I can't wait until I have gone a little further. There is no way I can compare with the majesty of Brother Dao. I don't know how Brother achieved such military exploits. Can you give me some advice?"

"To tell you the truth, the other purpose of the three of us coming here is to accumulate military exploits and exchange for treasures!" Zhou Xun asked seriously.

True Lord Yama has been here for decades, and as the number one in the military merit list,

They must have accumulated a wealth of experience, which is extremely valuable for the three newcomers.

"It's easy to talk about. I'll tell you about my experience!"

True Lord Yama picked up the spiritual wine and drank it in one gulp, and then slowly told his experience.

"Back then, we ended the war between humans and monsters and began to retreat to the Central Continent!"

"But at this time, we received an order from Lord Yun Ku to dispatch one-third of the army to the Western Desert to guard the ghost world passage and deal with the ghost clan."

"After discussing with Tian Dao Dao friends and others, I will be responsible for leading the team and commanding one-third of the monk army,"

"Start from Yuexi Fairy City, cross millions of miles of quicksand sea, and finally reach the Western Desert!"

"Not long after we arrived, we ushered in a major counterattack by the ghost tribe, so we had to directly go into battle, together with reinforcements from other continents,"

"The battle lasted for a whole year and traveled thousands of miles, and finally suppressed them back,"

"In this battle, one-third of the personnel died directly, including the 'Xuan Lei Zhenjun' who came with the reinforcements,"

"He has many enemies. He faced the siege of five fourth-level high-grade ghost kings. One of them was seriously injured and another was slightly injured. He was delayed until I arrived."

"That's how I suppressed five of my peers."

"If fellow Taoist Xuan Lei didn't injure them as a foreshadowing, it would be extremely difficult for me to achieve this step!"

"Speaking of which, he should be the first to contribute in this battle!"

Having said this, Lord Yama showed a complex look on his face, paused for a moment, and continued.

"Fellow Xuan Lei dragged five people away and paid a huge price for himself. When I saw him, he was almost haggard, like a corpse."

"After I go back, even if I use top-notch medicine to save me, I won't be able to save myself."

"In just half a year, he passed away!"

Hearing this, Zhou Xun couldn't help but be startled. He remembered the days when he and he broke into the Thunder Prison together. He didn't expect that they would be separated forever so soon.

"Brother Xuan Lei has always been a person who sacrifices his life for righteousness!"

When the demon clan invaded that year, Xuan Lei Zhenjun put his life and death at risk and tried his best to drag down Nanyuan Demon Emperor and three other people of the same rank.

The beaten body collapsed, and only Nascent Soul escaped.

This gave Zhou Xun and others time to arrive and secure the southern front.

Now in the Western Desert, he has made the same choice, which is respectable and worthy!

"Yes!" Zhenjun Yan Mo sighed with emotion,

"Therefore, in this battlefield, even the late Nascent Soul monks are not absolutely safe. When you and Daoist Ji are wandering into the Ghost Mist Land,"

"You should be cautious, and the most important thing is to protect yourself!"

The land of ghost fog, that is, the area with a radius of millions of miles around the ghost world passage, is now covered by thick ghost fog and has become the world of the ghost clan.

It is also a battlefield where humans and ghosts hunt each other.

"We should keep this in mind!" Zhou Xun nodded.

"There are some things you need to pay attention to when going to the Ghost Mist Land to hunt ghosts," Lord Yama said with a solemn face and began to talk about his real experience.

Zhou Xun and the others sat up straight and listened carefully, not daring to miss a word.

"First, the Ghost Mist Land is rich in ghost energy. According to Senior Ji, its environment is almost comparable to that of the ghost world. There is a danger that my soul will be eroded by the monks,"

"Even if you are a Nascent Soul monk, it is best not to stay in the Ghost Mist Land for more than one year."

"And after returning, it will take at least three months to recuperate before you can enter again,"

"Some of my colleagues didn't pay attention to this at the beginning. They stayed in the ghost mist land for too long, and their souls were eroded by the ghost energy. They eventually ended up in a state of unconsciousness. They have not recovered yet!"

"So when you enter the land of ghost fog, this one-year time limit is an iron law, so remember it!"

Hearing this, Zhou Xun and the other three looked at each other one after another.

They have experienced ghost fog more than once. They were responsible for solving hundreds of ghost fog places in the Eastern Wasteland before.

I never thought there was such a danger.

‘It seems that the ghost mist here is not ordinary, it is indeed a directly connected ghost mist passage! ’

"Secondly, the ghost tribe appears and disappears in the land of ghost mist, often hiding aside and launching sneak attacks."

"In addition, they seem to have mastered some very special way of contacting each other in the ghost mist. Once they get involved, ghosts from thousands of miles around will gather around them."

"Therefore, once a war breaks out, it must be fought quickly. If you cannot succeed with a single blow, you must run away immediately."

"Otherwise we will be surrounded by the ghost clan and everything will stop!"

"Zhenjun Xuanlei didn't know about this back then. He initially fought with a top-grade ghost king, and then attracted the surrounding ghost tribes to gather together. Finally, he gathered five fourth-grade top-grade ghost kings."

"That's why we ended up like this!"

"Of course, after this happened, I and other colleagues made a plan to take advantage of the situation!"

"Hide most of the manpower, use a small number of people to take action, attract the surrounding ghosts to come, and surround the area for reinforcements!"

"I used this to kill many ghost clans and make them restrain themselves,"

"But it is a hidden danger after all, so you should be more careful!"

"As for the third one, it's about the recognition of military merit." Having said this, Lord Yama's face became relaxed.

"When it comes to recognizing military merit here, we only look at one thing, and that is the ghost bead, just like the demon pill in the demon clan's body,"

"As long as the ghost clan is at level two or above, ghost beads will be born."

"After each kill, you can bring it back to the camp's merit division for evaluation!"

"However, after the battle merits have been stated, this bead has already recorded the breath. I must not try to repeat the merits. Some people have done this before."

"After he was found out, he was killed by Senior Ji himself!"

"To be able to attract the God-Transforming Heavenly Lord to take action shows how serious this situation is!"

Having said this, Lord Yama paused and patted his waist with his hand.

"Here, this is it!"

I saw a bead as black as ink flying out and landing in his palm,

Looking at it carefully, this bead is about the size of an adult's fist, and its surface is emitting a strange light, as if there are strands of ghostly energy entwining and swimming in it.

Zhou Xun and others looked at this ghost bead carefully and saw some obscure runes engraved on its surface, which faintly exuded an evil aura, making people feel chilled after seeing it.

"The runes on this ghost bead seem to have special meaning. Is it related to the ghost clan's power system or hierarchy?" Zhou Xun asked curiously.

Lord Yama nodded slightly and said: "My brother is indeed very sharp. Generally speaking, the higher the level of the ghost bead, the more complex the runes, and the richer the ghost energy, the stronger the ghost clan was during their lifetime."

"This one in my hand is a fourth-level high-grade ghost bead, which can be worth 500 points!"

"If it's a fourth-level mid-grade, it's one hundred and fifty points, and a low-grade one is fifty points!"

"It is consistent with the contribution points of the Secret Treasury Department of the Great Jin Dynasty!" Zhou Xun said, and then explained the meaning of the Secret Treasury Department and contribution points.

"Perhaps these battle merit points can be exchanged for contribution points!" Lord Yama guessed.

"Besides fighting merit, is there any other way to obtain it?" Tianci Zhenjun asked,

"Of course there is. For example, completing tasks and participating in battles will be calculated according to the degree of contribution!"

"Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to accumulate 7,000 points of combat merit just by hunting the ghost clan!" True Lord Yama replied.

"I dare to ask, brother, where can I exchange these ghost beads in the camp?" Zhou Xun suddenly asked. If he wants to reach the second level of the 'Spiritual Blue Light Pupil' he cultivates, he needs these fourth-level ghost beads. of.

Hearing this, Lord Yama's face couldn't help but become solemn, and then he said slowly:

"Brother, although the base camp has not prohibited this kind of thing, it is best to hunt this thing by yourself. Even if you buy it, the price is not that high!"

"Brother Dao, I have misunderstood. I have a pupil technique. If I want to be promoted, I need the assistance of the fourth-level ghost beads. I can only do it after confirming my military merits!" Zhou Xun said.

"I see, I have a lot of these. I can give you some as many as you want!" Lord Yama said, taking out a handful of ghost beads, with as many as four or five.

Put it in Zhou Xun's hand.

"For me, this thing has no effect. Since it is useful to you, I will give it to you!"

"Thank you so much, Brother Dao!"

Just as he was talking, a piece of fire flew in and fell into the hands of Lord Yama.

As soon as his consciousness swept away, he couldn't help but smile.

"Haha, it's Taoist Tianmen and the others who are here!" He stood up and walked towards the door.

Zhou Xun and the other three followed, especially Wang Erniu, who had already shown a look of anticipation. After all, his master, True Lord Nine Swords, was on the front line of the Western Desert.

Come to the door, open the door,

Then he saw four people standing outside the door.

The leader, Yuan Ting Yue Zhi, has a peaceful temperament and is none other than True Lord Tianyi. On his left is a middle-aged man dressed as a Confucian scholar, who is True Lord Xuanlang of the Righteous Dao Alliance.

On the right is True Lord Nine Swords, who is looking at Wang Erniu with excitement. He really didn't expect that he could see his disciple here.

What surprised him even more was that the aura exuding from Wang Erniu clearly belonged to the True Monarch Nascent Soul!

The last one was a young old man with a cold temperament. Zhou Xun also knew this man and had some connections with him.

He is the Supreme Elder of the Blood Refining Sect, the Old Demon of Blood Refining.

Although he is only at the middle stage of Nascent Soul, with the Blood Demon Emperor around, he is also at the level of combat power in the late Nascent Soul stage.

These four people and True Lord Yama represent the highest level of Zhongzhou in the Western Desert.
