Do not die

Before leaving Cuiyu Lake and returning to Sanchuan Plain, Meng Zhou turned around and visited the Gray Mist Mountains again.

A confrontation at the late stage of pill formation briefly took place here.

This news has long spread throughout the Qingxuan Domain, and continues to arouse the attention and heated discussion of all practitioners.

Various versions have been derived from the repeated verbal collisions.

If the person who exists behind Yan Zhuang cannot find clues in Jade Lake, he can easily notice this information when thinking about other ways to break the situation.

Although basically nearly 10% of the relevant information was processed later by everyone.

But the two pieces of information, time and location, are very accurate and clear.

The conflict broke out just after Yan Zhuang left Xingxiu Palace.

And if the other party could confirm the news of Yan Zhuang's death immediately, they would be able to notice this information immediately.

However, Meng Zhou, who came to clean up the Gray Mist Mountains, did not pay attention to the traces of the battle between Yan Zhuang and the Earth Spirit Golden Lotus clone.

Let it be clearly displayed there.

He just erased the traces of Bai Zhi who was earlier in time and whose movement trajectory overlapped with it.

After doing all this, Meng Zhou finally stopped staying and returned directly to Sanchuan Plain.

Regarding this action, Meng Zhou actually had a lot of regrets in his heart.

Because the processing method was too rough, far from the perfection he imagined.

Although, he has tried his best to erase the most obvious traces.

But this is just a "quick knife to cut through the mess" type of solution, and there are still many obscure "sword cuts and cuts" buried in the long river of time.

Although the possibility is very slim, in theory, as long as these "intersections" exist, there is a possibility of being discovered.

It's not that he doesn't want to clean up better, it's just that he can't.

As long as the solution to the problem is to use a "sword", there will always be a "sword mark" left where the sword was finally sheathed.

He could only choose to stop the sword at a more suitable place, but could not move forward and pursue it non-stop.

Besides, he couldn't do it either.

"For now, that's all we can do."

…

"Fortunately there was no delay."

It was already the evening of November 30th when we activated the lightless spaceship and headed back to the Sanchuan Plain.

Since he had perfected the Time Flowing Water Sword three days ago and had a little time to adapt, he immediately left for Baiyue Bay without any delay.

Despite the huge consumption of soul power and mental strength, he hurriedly hurriedly settled the matter before the end of the month and returned to Sanchuan Plain without delaying his own practice plan.

After returning to the quiet room, he took some monster meat and restored his condition as intact as possible. The negative energy accumulated in his body due to the previous round of practice was finally completely released. Meng Zhou slowly closed his eyes and started a new journey. A round of retreat.

…

The fifth day of December, afternoon.

Cultivation progress +300, fourth level of elixir formation 5920/10,000;

Third-level Spring Water Sutra +3000, master 78,000/120,000;

Black Turtle Bearing Monument True Skill +3000, Master 66,300/120,000.

…

After finishing this round of seclusion, Meng Zhou thought about his next plan.

He looked at Bai Zhi, who was still sleeping in his sea of ​​consciousness, and thought to himself: "I won't let you out for the time being. You can just sleep for a few more days."

Then, his consciousness swept towards the Five Yun Spirit Gourd and looked at the soul clones that had been idle for the time being.

If the ownerless divine will that can be used to refine a group of third-level low-grade divine soul clones is determined as one share.

Then, just after Meng Zhou became a pill-former, the first third-level Lihen statue he harvested during his operation with Ding Ning provided him with "four copies" of the Wuzhu Divine Will.

Then, in the "whack-a-mole" operation, "twelve copies" of the masterless gods were harvested.

In other words, so far, Meng Zhou has obtained a total of "sixteen copies" of the Wuzhu Divine Will.

Eight of them were refined into four groups of third-order middle-grade divine soul clones, controlling a third-order middle-grade spirit lotus body. He regarded them as "eyes" and sent them to the other four outside the Qingxuan Domain. Territory land.

Among the remaining eight shares, Bingxinxuelian "Song Yang" and Zhuang Tianzhuang "Zhuang Sheng" each took one share.

There are only six copies left unused in my hand, two of which have just been recovered from Baiyue Bay and are still in the Earth Spirit Golden Lotus clone.

At that time, after eliminating the troubles of Baiyue Bay in a rough way, Meng Zhou conveniently put away the Earth Spirit Golden Lotus clone.

But after turning the corner to the Gray Mist Mountains to do some disposal, Meng Zhou suddenly realized that it was best not to take back the Linglian clone sent to Baiyue Bay.

Although the traces of Baiyue Bay have been erased by himself, putting a clone there is still of great significance.

It's like a spider web or a fuse. He doesn't expect "him" to really be able to deal with the possible black hands. He just needs "him" to be able to warn him as soon as possible.

Moreover, this spider web-style fuse cannot be placed just in Baiyue Bay. It is best to place one in the Gray Mist Mountains.

"If it is just for this purpose, there is no need for a third-level mid-grade Linglian clone."

Since the positioning is not to block the enemy, but only a defensive early warning arrangement, then just follow the minimum configuration.

Moreover, if there really is someone who actively crashes into this network and triggers a warning, Meng Zhou does not think that relying solely on the third-order mid-grade Linglian clone can solve the problem.

Therefore, under this function, there is actually no difference between the third-order mid-grade and the third-order low-grade.

Thinking like this, two spiritual lotus seeds with only third-level low-grade quality appeared in Meng Zhou's hand.

This kind of spiritual lotus is called "Yunqi Linglian".

Soon, after two drops of third-order low-grade Qinglian sword marrow, the two spiritual lotus seeds turned into two third-order low-grade Qi-enhancing Spiritual Lotus clones.

After Meng Zhou tried it for a while, he realized the difference between it and the Ice Heart Blood Lotus, which was also a third-level low-grade one.

The nature of the power is more ordinary and has no special characteristics, but the power reserve is more abundant.

In the same spiritual environment, the ability to "recover" is also faster.

Then, Meng Zhou took out the third-level middle-grade divine soul clone from the earth spirit golden lotus body, split it and reforged it into two groups of divine soul clones, and put them into two Qi-enriching spirit lotus spiritual bodies respectively.

Soon, the two Linglian clones quietly sneaked out of the cave.

One of them will go to Baiyue Bay of Cuiyu Lake.

The other one went to the canyon basin of the Gray Mist Mountains.

After arriving at their destination, their only task is to blend into the local rocks and soil.

Nothing else needs to be done.

Then, Meng Zhou broke up the remaining two groups of third-level middle-grade divine soul clones in his hand, and re-melted them into one group of divine soul clones.

After it was refined, Meng Zhou took out the third-level high-grade red flame fire lotus spirit body and poured the divine soul clone into it.

In an instant, the Red Flame Fire Lotus clone came to life.

It no longer gives people the sense of indolence and powerlessness of a "little horse with a big cart".

However, it is still a little short of being able to use one's fingers like an arm.

"If there is another godless will, the problem should be solved."

"It seems that in order to create a divine soul clone that can freely drive the third-level high-grade spiritual lotus body, five masterless divine wills are necessary."

It's a pity that at this moment, Meng Zhou has no extra Wu Zhu Divine Will in his hands.

"It seems that 'Zhuang Sheng' will be traveling for a while again."

…

In Zhuangtianzhuang, "Zhuang Sheng" just informed Governor Li of the Sanchuan Association and Yang Chong, the current actual person in charge of Zhuangtianzhuang, and put the two mysterious turtles in the pond into the animal bag.

Then, he opened the formation and walked away under the watchful eyes of all the qi-training monks in Zhuangtianzhuang.

When walking to a deserted place, "Zhuang Sheng" Earth Escape sneaked underground.

When "he" appeared again and surfaced from the ground, he was already in the third-level cave.

Meng Zhou put this earth spirit lotus clone, which was only the second-level top quality, into the spirit gourd, but the divine soul clone was taken out by him and was re-disintegrated into an ownerless divine will.

Together with the other four masterless divine wills, they were combined into a group of third-level high-grade divine soul clones.

This time, when Meng Zhou inserted this group of divine soul clones into the third-level high-grade red flame fire lotus spirit body, there was no longer any sluggish feeling, and he was as flexible as his arms and fingers.

After such movement, Meng Zhou finally had a group of third-level high-grade divine soul clones in his hands. The red flame fire lotus spiritual body with combat power comparable to the late stage of pill formation could finally be truly used, without having to stay in the spirit gourd space to eat ashes.

Then, Meng Zhouyi waved his hand, and two huge skeletons appeared in front of him.

As soon as these two skeletons appeared, a strange aura unique to them filled the air.

The two mysterious turtles that Meng Zhou temporarily kept in a small pond were so frightened that they instantly retracted their heads, tail, and limbs into their shells.

The original owners of these two skeletons were the Mountain Ape and the Green Wolf who came from Xingxiu Sea and died with the death of the owner Yanzhuang.

They all have the strength of the peak level of the third-order mid-level in front of them.

After careful inspection, Meng Zhou successively took out the skin, hair, eyes, tendons and other objects that were completely stripped from the mountain ape and green wolf.

Then, Meng Zhou spent two days, using the spiritual puppet skills that had reached the third level of perfection as the core, supplemented by talisman formations and weapon refining methods, to turn these disintegrated materials into a mountain ape and a A green wolf.

Not only did the strength of the re-forged Mountain Ape and Blue Wolf not decrease, but because of some additional third-order materials added by Meng Zhou, they broke through the shackles of the peak of the third-order middle-grade and crossed the threshold of the third-order high-grade.

Among them, most of the materials are only third-level middle and low-grade materials, but the combination is very clever.

In addition, he divided a third-level high-grade spiritual material into two parts and filled the cores of two spiritual puppets, allowing them to cross the barrier that they had never crossed in life.

In the end, Meng Zhou used the remaining third-level spiritual materials to refine a third-level high-quality flying sword and a third-level high-quality robe, which he handed over to the Red Flame Fire Lotus for refinement.

In this way, Meng Zhou spent several days turning some idle resources in his hands into combat effectiveness that could be used immediately.

…

The tenth day of the lunar month. early morning.

According to the agreement with Yao Gu in advance, Meng Zhou left the cave and went to the station of the Blue Blood Army.

It took ten days to treat thousands of injured patients.

The number of injured patients is even greater than the number of patients diagnosed and treated at the end of last year.

From the consultation fee alone, I received a total of 7,000 high-grade spiritual stones.

Because of this diagnosis and treatment, the bone regeneration and restoration techniques that were originally still at "Grandmaster 164,300/240,000" have all completed the final accumulation of the Grandmaster level, and have been promoted from Grandmaster to Perfection.

After these two third-level pharmacist skills reached perfection, Meng Zhou clearly felt that they were all integrated into the "Qinglian Sword Body".

However, the integration of these two perfect third-level pharmacist skills did not push the Qinglian sword body, which had reached "99%" completeness, to perfection.

From the data point of view, there is no change, the integrity of the Qinglian sword body is still 99%.

But Meng Zhou himself could clearly feel how much change the integration of these two perfection skills brought.

"It's not that there are really no changes, it's just that the completeness of 99% and the completeness of 99.9999%... As long as it is less than 100%, the data may show It’s all ninety-nine percent.”

Meng Zhou thought so in his heart.

Meng Zhou could feel the changes brought by these two perfect third-level pharmacist skills to Qinglian Sword Body.

The birth of the Qinglian Sword Body comes from the White Lotus Spirit Body and the Natural Sword Body, and it combines the characteristics of both.

At the beginning, the "vitality" represented by the white lotus spirit body and the "sword" represented by the natural sword body were basically balanced.

However, the source of the former, in addition to the White Lotus Spirit Body, is also the fundamental Qi refining method of Spring Water Sutra, as well as many medicine master skills.

He is slightly more capable than the "mother's family" behind the natural sword body, and has more cards.

In addition, there is a more important point. The three-pole circulation system he built based on essence, energy and spirit is originally based on the "four properties of water".

And "vitality" happens to be one of the "four properties of water", which is more consistent with his fundamental path.

——It can’t be called more consistent, this is the fundamental path itself.

This was even reflected in his pill-forming results.

The golden elixir he formed contains a trace of immortal true meaning, and that trace of immortal true meaning is related to "vitality".

Therefore, when the Qinglian sword body was first formed, although the two were generally balanced, the emphasis on "vitality" was slightly heavier than the "sword".

But with the birth of two consecutive kendo achievements that could be called subversive at the level of pill formation, the situation suddenly changed dramatically.

The two ends, which were still roughly balanced at first, became completely unbalanced as the two heavy weights of the "Unbounded Sword Domain" and "Time Flowing Water Sword" came down.

Before today, Meng Zhou didn't realize there was any problem with this.

But now, he completely understood.

If I integrate and complete the last 1% with sword skills, then the Qinglian sword body will no longer be the Qinglian sword body, but will become a pure sword-like Tao body again.

"Vitality" changes from the core to the embellishment.

Fortunately, what was incorporated this time was not the sword skill, but two third-level pharmacist skills.

Although the weight created by the Bone Regeneration Technique and the Restoration Technique has not completely compensated for the imbalance caused by the "Unbounded Sword Domain" and the "Time Flowing Water Sword", it has also greatly alleviated this imbalance.

"When I practice the Soul Healing Technique to perfection, the imbalance should be completely eliminated."

"At that time, the Qinglian sword body should be completely complete."

…

During the diagnosis and treatment period, the bone regeneration and restoration techniques were perfected and triggered a series of chain reactions, which made Meng Zhou very happy.

But when he finished the diagnosis and treatment and returned to the cave, Meng Zhou felt a little heavy in his heart.

The reason why Bone Regeneration and Restoration Techniques can complete the accumulation of master level so quickly is because there are a large number of people with missing limbs for them to "train".

Those who are disabled in the realm of Qi training are just fine. The base is so large that hundreds of cases of disabled diseases a year are not too many at all.

But foundation building is different.

Before this year, more than half of the patients with foundation-related diseases that I treated were old injuries.

It is accumulated over the past months and years.

But the hundreds of cases that have been treated by me this year are different. More than 90% of them have disabilities and injuries caused this year.

And most of them were left behind in battles with monsters.

If the disability rate of foundation building remains so high, most of the foundation building in Qingxuan Domain should be disabled by now.

It is impossible for them to deliberately make themselves in such a mess just to come to their place for treatment.

——Because when he first started treating the Jade Blood Plain monk, Meng Zhou discovered that someone was taking advantage of his treatment opportunity to cause a bug. When Meng Zhou was treating the injured, he paid great attention to not letting them return to a better state than before the injury.

The combination of bone regeneration and restoration techniques can certainly make disabled people healthy again.

But even after Meng Zhou cultivated these two skills to the master level, he could immediately make the new bones reach the strength of the original bones.

But in practice, he did not do this.

The new bones are still soft, and it takes several months of slow rest for the new bones to reach appropriate strength.

Therefore, during this year, hundreds of foundation-building cripples were added to the Qingxuan Territory. There is only one reason, and that is that the intensity of the battle between practitioners and monsters is quietly escalating.

Although the number of direct battle deaths is still relatively small, the number of seriously injured people who used secret methods such as burning essence and blood, overdrawing life potential, or escaping at the cost of physical disability or even killing them in the process of fighting monsters is quietly increasing. rising.

"It seems that the real collision is not far away."

"...It's just right, let's go and have a look."

…

After returning to the cave, Bingxinxuelian "Song Yang" was already waiting for him.

Meng Zhou took out the divine soul clone from the Linglian clone, scattered the original thoughts, injected new ones, and refined it again.

The reason for doing this was that he thought that if necessary, this clone might act as "Ge Ping".

Although this possibility was unlikely, since he thought of it, he naturally had to make some preparations in advance.

late at night.

In Bai Zhi's quiet room.

As Meng Zhou thought, Bai Zhi, who was sleeping quietly in the sea of ​​consciousness, lay flat on the stone couch again.

Soon, Bai Zhi's eyelashes trembled slightly, and then she opened her eyes and woke up.

Seeing Meng Zhou standing next to her, she was startled. She quickly sat up and asked in confusion: "Why are you here? Is there anything important?... How long have you been here?"

Although she had already recognized the relationship between the two parties in her heart, Bai Zhi couldn't help but feel a little strange when she thought that he was watching her while she was sleeping.

Meng Zhou smiled and said, "I just had a sudden impulse to go outside and invite you to go with me."

"Now?" Bai Zhi was surprised.

"Right now."

"Are you in such a hurry? Are you not ready?" Bai Zhi felt that it was too sudden.

"I'm ready."

Bai Zhi was stunned for a moment, but her thoughts that had been living in this cave for many years were suddenly activated, and she responded with a smile: "Okay!"
