Immortal Path Evergreen

Spring goes and autumn comes, flowers bloom and fall.

In the blink of an eye, Zhang Zhixuan has been in seclusion in the Evil Ghost Cave for three years.

During these three years, the quality of the puppet beasts Zhang Zhixuan refined has been getting better and better. In July last year, he had successfully refined a third-grade high-quality puppet beast.

With the inheritance of puppet masters, Qingxuan Sect and Huanshui Sect have occupied the treasure land of the Evil Ghost Cave, and their foundation has become more and more sufficient in recent years.

In the past one or two years, Qingxuan and Huanshui Sects have increased their investment in the Evil Ghost Cave. In addition to Zhang Zhixuan and his wife, there are already six purple mansions and more than a hundred foundation-building cultivators stationed here for a long time. The permanent population in the market has also exceeded 10,000.

A large number of spiritual fields have been opened up on the mountain, and a fifth-grade high-quality formation has been arranged for protection.

With such a strong defense, even if a Yuanying cultivator comes to attack, he cannot break through the formation without backup.

Since last year, Zhang Zhixuan has started to refine the fourth-level puppet beast, but unfortunately he failed to refine it three times in a row, wasting three fourth-level sky soul crystals.

Such a serious loss has made Zhang Zhixuan somewhat unbearable.

In the evil ghost cave, many low-level ghosts can be generated every year.

However, there are only seven ghost cultivators equivalent to the purple mansion period in the entire evil ghost cave.

In the previous few years, because Zhang Zhixuan wanted to refine the fourth-level puppet beast, he had issued an imperial decree to hunt down three of them.

In order to avoid exhausting the resources, Zhang Zhixuan could only issue an imperial decree again to stop hunting ghosts above the foundation-building period within 30 years.

In just three years, Zhang Zhixuan has refined more than 100 third-level puppets, greatly enhancing the combat power of the Qingxuan Sect's foundation-building cultivators.

Even Xia Youqing of the Huanshui Sect has secretly learned the magic of refining puppets.

To refine puppets, you need to learn to refine tools first. For Jindan period cultivators such as Zhang Zhixuan and Xia Youqing, refining low-level magic tools is not too difficult.

Refining magic tools above the fourth level is a challenge for them.

Whether it is refining tools or making talismans, you need to be proficient in formations and runes.

Zhang Zhixuan has Qingchan's frequent guidance, so his refining skills can improve rapidly.

Qingchan's formation level has recovered to the fifth-level upper grade, and the talisman making skills have recovered to the sixth-level lower grade. Although it is far from comparable to the previous life, it is already the best among the high-level cultivators in Qingxuan Sect, Huanshui Sect, and Tianchan Cave.

Among the hundreds of countries in the Southern Wilderness, she is also one of the best.

Unfortunately, she is a water spirit root cultivator. In addition to using the spirit water to refine a few special elixirs, she is not suitable for long-term alchemy and refining tools.

Dealing with extremely high-temperature ground fire all day is very unfavorable to Qingchan's path.

Now the situation of the three sects is still unclear, and it is a time to race against time. Qingchan will naturally not be distracted and spend a lot of energy to learn the art of refining pills and tools.

On the contrary, Wu Xianlong and Lin Wanqiu, two purple palaces stationed in the evil ghost cave, learned to refine puppets by virtue of their proximity.

Lin Wanqiu is a relative of Lin Ruohua, and his status is equal to Zhang Sihong of Qingxuan Sect. He is already considered the core purple palace of Huanshui Sect.

However, the two have only practiced for a short time, and can only refine second-level high-quality puppets now.

If they want to make progress in this area, they still need a lot of materials to practice.

Unfortunately, Zhang Zhixuan has issued an edict to let the ghosts in the evil ghost cave rest for thirty years, and they cannot hunt high-level ghosts for the time being.

If the two want to refine third-level puppets, they may have to wait for many years.

Although puppets are of great help to cultivators, it is a pity that puppets will also be subject to many restrictions.

First of all, due to the strength of spiritual consciousness, each cultivator can only sacrifice a limited number of puppets.

Even if the cultivators of Wanfa Sect and Tiangui Sect practice the skills to enhance spiritual consciousness, they can only sacrifice up to four puppet beasts of the same level, and it is impossible to sacrifice a large number of puppets to defeat the opponent.

Secondly, there is a distance limit for manipulating puppet beasts. For example, Zhang Zhixuan's spiritual consciousness can be projected fifty miles away, and the puppet beasts he controls can only move within a ten-mile range nearby.

Beyond ten miles, the mechanical puppet beasts he sacrificed are useless, whether it is a fifth-level giant wolf puppet or a third-level iron bull puppet, they are all the same. Only when the spiritual consciousness continues to strengthen can there be progress.

Thirdly, when the puppet receives an order, there will be a reaction time, and it cannot communicate with the cultivator's mind. This reaction time may be seized by an experienced master and the puppet beast may be destroyed in advance.

Finally, the puppet beast is more afraid of spells that attack the spiritual consciousness, especially the purple divine light practiced by Qingchan and Zhang Zhixuan, which is the nemesis of the puppet master.

After the divine light falls, it can disperse and dissolve the spiritual consciousness.

The key to the puppet master's combat actually relies on the spiritual consciousness differentiation spell. It is necessary to differentiate several spiritual consciousnesses and attach them to the puppet to control it freely.

Zhang Zhixuan sent a sound transmission note to recruit Wu Xianlong into the cave.

He pointed to the empty seat and said, "Don't stand, sit down and talk first! The reason I asked you to come here is that I have something to trouble you to run an errand for. Master has fifteen third-level puppet beasts, and I plan to leave these puppet beasts to the Lushan County family. Since Sihong is not in the Evil Ghost Cave, I would like to trouble you to go to Tiantai Peak and exchange these thirteen puppet beasts for family merits and hand them over to Sijin in person.

In addition, the spirit stones in my hand are slightly missing. You can use my identity token to exchange 100,000 spirit stones from the sect treasury and send them to the Evil Ghost Cave."

After explaining this matter, Zhang Zhixuan pointed out some difficulties in Wu Xianlong's practice, and then personally sent him out of the cave.

Just when Wu Xianlong was rushing to Lushan County, Yang Xuanzhen on the Goddess Peak looked at a letter with a solemn expression, and then handed the letter to the eldest disciple Yu Hanxiang.

During the civil strife more than three hundred years ago, although Yang Xuanzhen defeated Liu Lingjun, she was unpopular in the sect, especially among the low-level monks. Her reputation was very bad.

However, Yang Xuanzhen and Yu Hanxiang were very good at cultivating disciples. When Xuan Su Sect was at its peak, they had already trained seven Jindan disciples.

It was precisely because of the large number of people in his sect and the many reinforcements sent by Yanghuo Palace that Yang Xuanzhen drove away Liu Lingjun and firmly controlled the power of the sect.

Yu Hanxiang's longevity is several years older than Chen Yunfeng's. Unless he gets a great opportunity, there is no hope of Yuanying in this life. She is very loyal to her master and is Yang Xuanzhen's best helper.

After seeing this letter, Yu Hanxiang frowned and said: "I didn't expect that in just a few decades, the Yu State would be turned upside down. It seems that Liu Lingjun must be hiding inside the Yu State, otherwise this small country would have absolutely no resources. Golden elixir masters were cultivated one after another.”

Yang Xuanzhen nodded and said: "Liu Lingjun hid in the Yu Kingdom more than two hundred years ago, and even had a fight with me. It can be seen that she has spent hundreds of years on the layout of the Yu Kingdom. The three golden elixirs of the Huanshui Sect came from Yan The Hongyao sect will naturally follow Liu Lingjun wholeheartedly. Now that she has taken control of the Yu Kingdom, her plan is probably in the Qingxuan Sect. Can the chess pieces she left behind be found now? "
