Lingzhou, somewhere in the barren mountains.

I saw that in the past, this barren mountain and wilderness, which even monks in the Qi Refining Stage would not easily visit, today attracted many immortal cultivators searching for something here.

"Search carefully. The demon has been severely wounded by the Commander. He must still be hiding in these mountains!"

In the sky, Xu Fu stood in the air, with a solemn expression and loudly ordered many of his men to search the mountains below.

At this time, it had been more than ten years since he was transferred back to Lingzhou to serve in the Demon Slayer Brigade.

In ten years, he has made great achievements, and with the background of the Zhou family, he has finally become the deputy commander of the Demon Slayer Brigade.

A few days ago, the Lingzhou Demon Slayer Brigade found clues that a demon was hiding in a rogue cultivator stronghold, secretly plotting against the rogue cultivators to practice demonic skills.

Then the leader of the Lingzhou Demon Slayer Brigade led Xu Fu and others to the rogue cultivator stronghold, and started a battle with the demon leader and his minions.

After a chase and escape, the demon used a secret technique that would hurt both sides and fought with the leader of the demon-killing brigade, forcing both sides to break through and escape into the mountains.

The leader of the demon-killing brigade was seriously injured and had demonic energy entering his body, so he could only go back to a nearby stronghold to meditate to heal his injuries, so he handed over the task of hunting down the demon to Xu Fu.

For Xu Fu, this is both a challenge and an opportunity.

After so many years of hard work, he has accumulated more than 70,000 points of military merit.

If he can lead the team to take down the demon this time, he will have a great chance of saving enough to exchange for an auxiliary item to open up the Purple Mansion.

With his high-grade spiritual root qualifications and his strong will honed through hundreds of battles, as long as there is a spiritual object to assist him, the success rate of opening the Zi Mansion will definitely be 50-60%!

So at this time, he was more active than anyone else in searching for the devil.

Perhaps he was really hurt so much that the demon's hiding place was found not long after.

Two Qi Refining stage monks who were approaching were caught by the demon on the spot and sucked dry of their blood!

"Here, the devil is here!"

A voice full of panic rang out from a certain mountaintop. After hearing the shout, Xu Fu in the sky immediately rushed over with seven or eight foundation-building monks.

Then, these foundation-building monks, led by Xu Fu, formed a battle formation to fight against the demon.

Because the demon himself had been seriously injured and his strength was reduced to ten percent. At this moment, facing the battle formation formed by Xu Fu and other foundation-building monks, he was unable to do anything to defeat these juniors.

In the end, after a hard-fought and fierce battle, Xu Fu and his team successfully killed the Zifu period demon cultivator at the cost of the death of two early-stage foundation-building monks!

Xu Fu became famous for using a Foundation Establishment Stage monk to kill a Purple Mansion Stage Demonic Cultivator, even a severely injured Demonic Cultivator.

And because he was from the Zhou family, his superiors and commanders did not dare to take too much credit for his achievements, and basically reported his achievements as normal.

So after final calculation, Xu Fu finally accumulated enough to exchange for a war merit that can help open up the Purple Mansion.

As for the spiritual coins needed to exchange spiritual items, he has already accumulated enough after so many years of fighting.

Therefore, as soon as his military achievements reached the standard, he immediately applied for exchange.

According to the rules of the Heavenly Spirit Alliance, monks in the Qi Refining Stage who redeem Foundation Establishment Pills and Foundation Establishment Spiritual Items, and monks in the Foundation Establishment Stage who redeem auxiliary materials for developing Purple Mansion Spiritual Items have priority.

So even though the Zhou family still had two [Xuan Xin Purple Return Pills] waiting in the queue, Xu Fu only had to wait a few months to get an assist in opening up the purple mansion spiritual objects.

After he obtained the spiritual object, he immediately asked for leave and went into seclusion in the residence.

As the honorary elder of the Zhou family, the news that Xu Fu had been assisted to open up spiritual objects in the Purple Mansion and go into seclusion quickly reached Zhou Chun's ears.

At that time, Zhou Chun was still busy smelting [Earth Mother Black Gold]. After hearing the news, he narrowed his eyes slightly.

After he asked someone to find Xu Fu's intelligence in recent years and check it, he couldn't help but said to himself: "This boy's chances are quite good. It seems that he will have to be recalled to the family immediately after he comes out of seclusion!"

It can be said that Xu Fu participated in the entire Zhou family's development of the wilderness and knew many of the Zhou family's secrets.

It is absolutely impossible for Zhou Chun to let such a person break away from the Zhou family and stand on his own.

As the Zhou family's power grows, the interests of the wilderness become more important to the Zhou family.

Once the layout of the wilderness is exposed, the impact on the Zhou family will be much greater than before.

Therefore, these outsiders who know the secrets of the wilderness must tighten their control!

Zhou Chun began to understand and practice the "Soul Control Technique" after successfully forming the elixir. Now after several years of practice, he has made some gains. If he is given another two or three years to practice, he should be able to successfully use this secret.

Technique.

Compared with the original positioning and tracking of threats based on "The Secret of Dragon Transformation", the "Soul Control Technique" is undoubtedly much better at controlling people.

This method is similar to the "Dragon Soul Heart Seed" secret technique taught by Hualong to cultivators above the guardian level. It can plant a "soul seed" in the soul of the subject with the spiritual consciousness of the Golden Core monk.

If there is no golden elixir monk who has planted the "soul seed" within a certain period of time to help stabilize the "soul seed", the "soul seed" will automatically explode, causing the soul of the subject to perish or be severely injured.

Naturally, practitioners of the "Soul Control Technique" can also actively cast spells to detonate "soul seeds" and eliminate those who dare to betray themselves thousands of miles away!

However, the disadvantage of the "Soul Control Technique" is that the practitioner must be a higher level of cultivation than the recipient, otherwise the "soul seed" will not be able to threaten the opponent at all and will be easily erased.

And if a monk whose spiritual consciousness is much stronger than the caster comes to help, the "soul seed" can also be erased with the active cooperation of the recipient.

From this aspect, the "Dragon Soul Heart Seed" is undoubtedly much more subtle and powerful than the "Soul Control Technique".

It is a pity that although the Zhou family has a method of practicing the "Dragon Soul Seed Heart Technique", that method can only be used after practicing the fourth level of "The Secret of Dragon Transformation". Only the recipient can practice the "Secret of Transforming Dragon"

The "Dragon Soul Heart Seed" can only be successfully planted after reaching the third level, and Zhou Chun did not practice this method with the bloodline of Qingjiao!

After the technology reaches the standard, smelting [Earth Mother Black Gold] is actually a hard work like an assembly line.

Zhou Chun must smelt the ore with his own golden elixir and true fire every day, stripping out the impurities bit by bit, and what is left in the end is [Earth Mother Black Gold].

According to his speed, it would take about two years to smelt all the collected [Earth Mother Black Gold] ore.

In this way, it is not difficult to understand why it took Lin Hongyu several years to refine the natal magic weapon.

…

Jiufeng Ridge, Baozhi Peak.

But it was said that after Zhou Xinyan successfully obtained the snake gallbladder of the second-level fire-scale python, he returned to his family and handed in the mission, then came directly to Jiufeng Ridge, and then made his spiritual pet, the red flame dragon python, swallow two snake gallbladders and one snake gallbladder.

The three-hundred-year-old Hualongcao has begun its evolution.

And the reason why he came to Jiufeng Ridge was also due to psychological reasons.

Many monks of the Zhou family now believe that Jiufeng Ridge is the family's blessed place. Breaking through in retreat or allowing spiritual pets to break through and evolve will be easier to achieve than in other places.

Zhou Xinyan is also one of them, so he specially chose Baozhi Peak, where the clan leader Zhou Chun once lived, to let his spiritual pets break through and evolve.

Even the place he chose was not far from Zhou Chun's original courtyard.

I don’t know if there is really luck in the dark, but after only waiting for more than three months on Baozhi Peak, Zhou Xinyan’s spiritual pet, the Red Flame Dragon Python, successfully evolved to the second level and became a

Intermediate monster.

I saw that the red flame dragon python that had evolved to the second level not only had red snake scales on its body that looked like dragon scales, but also had a bulge on its head similar to that of the original silver lightning python. It was obviously gestating with dragon horns.

.

At this time, it may be called the Flame Dragon Python!

After successfully training the spiritual pet Red Flame Dragon Python into the Flame Dragon Python, Zhou Xinyan was extremely happy.

He has always regarded the patriarch Zhou Chun as his idol and goal, and wanted to become as strong as the patriarch Zhou Chun.

Therefore, despite possessing the intermediate monster Blue Feather Fire Kite, he contracted to cultivate a red flame dragon python, dreaming of one day cultivating it into a dragon.

Now that the Red Flame Dragon Python has evolved into the Raging Flame Dragon Python, taking an important step on the road to becoming a dragon, there is no need to mention the joy in his heart.

In order to celebrate this event, he specially held a banquet and invited many monks of the same clan to his residence to celebrate, showing them the majestic appearance of the evolved flame dragon python.

Zhou Chunyou accidentally sent out his consciousness to scan everywhere in Tuyun Ridge, and happened to see the celebration scene at Zhou Xinyan's residence.

He secretly observed the state of Zhou Xinyan's mana aura, and then observed the newly evolved flame dragon python. He couldn't help but nodded slightly and said: "Well, Xinyan is not bad. If he can successfully open up Zifu,

In the future, you can consider cultivating it as a golden elixir seed!"

With high-grade spiritual root qualifications and practicing top-notch techniques, even among the great sects, this kind of monk is enough to become a candidate for the golden elixir seed.

Of course, there is no shortage of geniuses in sects. If you want to truly become a golden elixir seed and gain access to sect resources, you have to look at your personal background and performance.

However, in a cultivating family like the Zhou family, geniuses of this level are rare. Once they appear, as long as they are not the kind of people with bad character and unworthy of cultivation, it is generally easier for the family to cultivate them as golden elixir seeds.

This is also one of the important reasons why some geniuses from cultivating immortal families are willing to stay in the family.

To put it bluntly, there is no shortage of geniuses in this world.

Take the Zhou family as an example. Among the monks in this clan, there are currently two monks with high-grade spiritual root qualifications, Zhou Xinyuan and Zhou Yuanyuan. There will definitely be more monks with high-grade spiritual root qualifications appearing in the future.

In addition, there are two monks with foreign surnames, Zhang Liang and Xu Fu, who also have high-grade spiritual root qualifications.

This does not include Lin Hongyu and Su Yuzhen, two high-grade spiritual root monks.

Therefore, if you think that if you possess the qualifications of Pinlinggen, you will be trained by the sect, that is completely wishful thinking.

Zhou Chun doesn't care what other monks think, anyway, his own experience has shown that resources are more important than qualifications!

If the resources are good enough, a monk like him with middle-grade spiritual root qualifications can successfully form pills in one go.

If the resources are not good, it is not uncommon for monks with high-grade spiritual root qualifications to fail to form elixirs.

Therefore, as the controller of resources, he would never invest resources in a certain tribesman simply because he has outstanding spiritual roots.

Unless he has the legendary top spiritual root qualification!
