Do not die

Meng Zhou said: "I can guarantee that you will successfully form the elixir in Tianqi Mountain, and the quality of the elixir will not be affected at all."

When Bai Zhi heard this, her eyes lit up and she said in surprise: "Really?"

Meng Zhou nodded:

"But you have to think about it carefully.

If you form pills in this way, you are equivalent to excluding yourself from the circle of pill-forming monks in the Qingxuan Realm.

Not only can you not come into contact with other Jiedan in the Qingxuan Domain as a Jiedan, you can't even enter the Qingxuan Sect's sight. "

Having said this, Meng Zhou paused and continued:

"In this way, you will have to stay with me for a long time in the future and will not be able to go out and act alone."

Meng Zhou spoke solemnly, and Bai Zhi also acted as if he was thinking seriously.

But what she was thinking was, are there so many benefits?

There is someone in front of her to protect her from the wind and rain. She does not have to deal with those people and forces that she subconsciously rejects. All her thoughts can be devoted to her own path and practice...

This is the life she dreams of most!

——In the past, she took an apprentice from one place to another to make a living in various spiritual veins. She had long been tired of the way she "charged" ahead and established a family.

She had imagined more than once in her mind that if someone could stand in front of her and take on all this, she would just have to cultivate immortality quietly.

Now, isn't the future described by the man in front of him just a dream coming true? !

Bai Zhi thought so in her heart, but her face still looked like she was thinking seriously and thoughtfully.

After a while, she looked at Meng Zhou and slowly said:

"There's nothing wrong with me here, but if this happens, even if I cultivate the pill, I can't help you in any way. You still have to bear everything alone."

At this point, she paused before continuing:

"Not only your share, but also my share, you will have to bear it all from now on... Isn't this too much pressure?"

When she said this, Bai Zhi's expression was solemn and concerned.

But Meng Zhou had already felt the uncontrollable excitement in her heart through the natal connection he had established with her.

Suppressing the laughter in his heart, Meng Zhou solemnly nodded and said, "No problem, I can afford it."

Bai Zhi spent a lot of effort to suppress the excitement that was about to jump out, and nodded solemnly: "That's okay for me!"

The two looked at each other, you looked at me, I looked at you. After a while, Bai Zhi said softly:

"Then, I'll leave it to you from now on!"

Looking at Bai Zhi's pretending to be solemn, it seemed as if from now on, she would completely entrust herself to his hands.

The key is that Meng Zhou can still feel the real emotional changes in her heart. He really can't continue to have a serious discussion with her on this topic.

Meng Zhou coughed slightly and then asked, "When are you going to break through?"

Bai Zhi thought seriously for a while and then said:

“Although the bottleneck has disappeared, we can break through at any time.

But if conditions permit, I hope to postpone it for some time. I want to sort out everything in the past carefully before making a breakthrough. "

Meng Zhou nodded and said: "No problem, just go ahead and sort it out. Just let me know when you feel you are in good condition."

Saying that, Meng Zhou paused and told Bai Zhi:

"You don't need to worry about anything else. You just need to adjust your condition, and I will arrange everything else for you."

"Yeah." Bai Zhi nodded obediently.

"So, do you need to retreat now?" Meng Zhou asked.

Bai Zhi shook her head and said, "No need, at least not now."

"Okay, do whatever you think is appropriate."

…

Bai Zhi has stepped onto the back of the Xuanling Turtle again and continues to purify the waters of Aurora Cave.

Meng Zhou also took out all the six third-order demon corpses stored in the spirit gourd space and began to process them.

Because the appearance is very complete, even without adding any materials, it is enough to refine a spiritual puppet treasure of extraordinary quality.

But Meng Zhou did not do this. He quickly decomposed, refined, and purified these great demon corpses into various spiritual materials.

In the end, these spiritual materials will be mixed into a special runic liquid, which will be spray-painted on the dome stone walls of the Aurora Cave and the water stone walls.

The huge Aurora Cave, both in terms of spiritual quality and scope, exceeds the core area of ​​Sanchuan Yuan with a radius of only ten miles.

In order to develop an area as big as a palm and set up a suitable city defense formation, all forces had to bleed again.

Although Meng Zhou has a lot of resources, there is almost no limit to the ability of this Aurora Cave to swallow up his personal resources with his own strength.

——No matter how much you fill in, you don’t have to worry about holding it up.

When there are few resources, there is a layout method with less resources. When there are more resources, there is a layout method with more resources.

The bones of these third-level demons, taken out at random, may be valuable treasures that can shake their Taoist hearts in the eyes of other alchemy cultivators, but Meng Zhou just wants to get rid of them as soon as possible.

This kind of resource, whose value is neither high nor low to him, will depreciate by one point every time it is kept in his hands.

Rather than expecting to maximize their value in the future, it is most appropriate to utilize them immediately.

Moreover, this was not just for the purpose of setting up the Aurora Cave, it also became an opportunity for Meng Zhou to verify what he had in mind.

With the aurora as the rope and the way of knotting as the core, now we only have a general idea, but there are no particularly obvious results. The Knottaker profession, which has stayed at the third level for a long time, has made visible progress.

From "Level 3 800/10,000" to "Level 3 1,000/10,000"

While arranging the cave, Meng Zhou understood the method of sealing the knots.

At the same time, the feeding of golden armored spirit insects, which had been interrupted for several years, was picked up again.

However, except for the first feeding, the subsequent feedings were just feeding, and these golden armored spirit insects were not allowed to catch each other, kill and devour each other.

The purpose is not to let the golden armored spirit insects kill and devour each other, but to let them break through the shackles of blood and enter a higher level of life in this fierce battle of life and death.

After the last killing and devouring, the surviving golden armored spirit insects have taken a small step forward.

Before they have completely digested the results of this small step, rashly starting a new round of killing has no practical significance except bringing waste.

Time passes slowly in such a strange daily life.

…

Meng Zhou occasionally learned about the changes in Sanchuan Plain through the Ice Heart Blood Lotus clone who stayed in Sanchuan Plain.

And in this January when his real body was no longer in Sanchuan Plain, a major event occurred in Sanchuan Plain that shocked the entire Qingxuan Domain cultivation world.

After the Sanchuan Yuan City Lord's Palace made a collective decision to demolish and rebuild the original old city and concentrate the third-level spiritual land in the core inner city area, the City Lord's Palace also passed another resolution at the same time.

That is to say, the land reclamation work of the spiritual fields, which had been completely frozen since the upgrade of the Sanchuan Yuan spiritual vein, was started again.

The influence of this decision in the cultivation world of Qingxuan Domain is no less than the reconstruction of the old city and the concentration of all third-level spiritual lands in the core inner city area.

If we say that the groups affected by the latter are those at the top, such as fake elixirs and alchemy monks.

Then, restarting the frozen spiritual field reclamation work within the Sanchuan Plain will affect all monks and all forces from Qi training to foundation building, from foundation building to elixir formation.

One of the most remarkable characteristics of the Sanchuanyuan spiritual vein is its ability to grow.

As the area opened up for spiritual fields becomes larger and larger, the spiritual energy of the earth veins becomes more and more continuous and active, and the quality and coverage of the spiritual veins of Sanchuan Plateau will grow.

This is the prerequisite for the successful upgrade of Sanchuan Yuan's spiritual veins.

This plan was proposed along with the reconstruction of the old city, and immediately attracted widespread attention from all forces and a large number of monks.

More and more monks are coming to Sanchuan Plain.

Those who had not had time to occupy a place in Sanchuan Plateau flocked to Sanchuan Plateau and actively searched for land to open up wasteland.

As for those forces that have already gained a foothold in Sanchuan Plain, no one feels that there are too many spiritual fields created through land reclamation.

Each one is like an insatiable glutton, constantly wanting more.

In the past few years, even though the Sanchuan Yuan City Lord's Office has become more and more strict in reviewing the qualifications for land reclamation of spiritual fields, a large number of new spiritual fields are still created every year.

——The reason why the review needs to be strengthened is because of the changes in the Sanchuan Yuan spiritual vein before and after the upgrade.

Before the upgrade of the Sanchuan Yuan Spiritual Veins is completed, there are no clear restrictions on the location, size, direction, etc. of the newly opened wasteland spiritual fields.

Theoretically, within the scope of Sanchuan Plateau's spiritual veins, any place touched by the spiritual energy of the earth's veins can be opened up and become new spiritual fields.

But after the successful upgrade of the Mikawahara Spiritual Veins, the situation changed.

The spiritual vein upgrade formations spread throughout the entire Sanchuan Plateau spiritual vein range. According to the flow of earth vein spiritual energy between the spiritual fields, they take advantage of the situation to form a series of "spiritual energy rivers". These "spiritual energy rivers" all over the Sanchuan Plateau have naturally evolved into The "spiritual energy veins" of Mikawahara.

The spiritual vein upgrade formation has fixed these "river veins", which is the core foundation for the successful upgrade of spiritual veins.

This in turn influenced and reshaped the pattern and direction of the spiritual energy of the Sanchuan Plain.

The development of new spiritual fields must take these fixed "river veins" as the core, and continuously dig deep and strengthen this system, and it can no longer be done randomly as before.

Otherwise, the continuously added spiritual fields will not only not be a boost to the continued growth of the Sanchuan Plateau spiritual veins, but may actually cause damage to the existing "river veins" and become a hindrance to the continued growth of the Sanchuan Plateau spiritual veins.

The land reclamation work in Lingtian was restarted, and a large number of new Lingtian were born every year under the guidance and planning of the City Lord's Palace.

From top to bottom, from inside the Sanchuan Plain to outside the Sanchuan Plain, countless pairs of eyes were staring, expecting that the spiritual veins of the Sanchuan Plain would undergo new changes as a result.

But the reality is that since the land reclamation work in Lingtian was restarted, nothing has changed.

Whether it is the range of the spiritual veins or the quality of the spiritual energy, they are exactly the same as after the upgrade of Sanchuan Yuan's spiritual veins.

There is neither growth nor regression.

For this reason, I don’t know how many people are disappointed.

All kinds of speculations and discussions were spread by word of mouth and spread to all sides.

Among them, two guesses had the most acceptance.

One guess is that the second-level limit of the special characteristics of the Sanchuan Yuan spiritual vein is its end, and it is impossible to really grow forever.

Now Mikawahara has been upgraded from the second-order spiritual vein to the third-order spiritual land, which has exceeded the limit range that the characteristics of Mikawahara's spiritual vein can support.

The "growth potential" will naturally stop.

Just like a child can grow taller every year, but when the child becomes an adult, the growth stops and it is impossible to keep growing.

Another speculation is that the ability of Sanchuan Yuan's spiritual veins to grow will only appear in a natural state.

Due to human intervention, the Sanchuan Yuan spiritual veins were sublimated in a short period of time, from the second level to the third level, but this also fundamentally destroyed this "natural state".

In this view, the upgrading of spiritual veins through human intervention is like killing the goose to obtain the eggs, and fishing in the dry lake.

In addition to these two most popular speculations, there are many more.

Some sound very reasonable at first glance, while others are outrageous, sensational, and contain too many conspiracies.

This has become an enduring and long-standing hot topic among the middle- and lower-class monks living in Sanchuanyuan.

But now, Meng Zhou already knew what the real reason was.

"It's all because of me!"

After realizing that he was the real "culprit" that hindered the continued growth of Sanchuan Yuan's spiritual veins, Meng Zhou himself was also very shocked.

But now, with the facts before him, he couldn't help but not believe it.

Just this year, when he chose to practice retreat in Aurora Cave.

Just after the New Year, Sanchuanyuan's spiritual veins began to change one after another.

By the end of the first month, the changes were already very obvious.

The range of Mikawahara's spiritual veins has not increased, but the density of spiritual energy in the outermost areas has increased significantly compared to before.

And the closer you go to the center, the changes in the quality of the earth's spiritual energy within the "river veins" become more and more obvious.

About 10% of the spiritual lands have been upgraded.

For those spiritual lands that have not been upgraded, the improvement in the quality of their spiritual energy can also be felt.

For example, the outer area could only provide shanty houses for monks on the first and second floors of Qi training.

After one month, although it has not yet reached the point where it can be used by monks in the middle stage of Qi training, it can already supply the daily practice needs of monks at the third level of Qi training.

However, compared with the "vigorous" changes in the first and second level spiritual lands, the changes in the third level spiritual lands in the core inner city area are minimal.

In order to carefully screen them, Meng Zhou even spent half a day taking over the Bingxin Blood Lotus clone and carefully explored the core inner city area with a radius of ten miles.

The quality of spiritual energy has hardly improved, but the amount of spiritual energy has increased.

"The newly added spiritual energy should be able to supply the daily practice needs of the two monks who are in the early stages of forming a pill."

“So, the situation is actually very clear.

The spiritual veins of Sanchuan Yuan were upgraded, but their growth characteristics were not affected by this. "

"It's just that the newly added spiritual energy was too little. All of it was intercepted by me, and it was not truly reflected at all."

"It seems that I only absorbed the third-order spiritual energy, but Mikawahara's third-order spiritual energy is derived from the continuous enrichment and refinement of the first- and second-order spiritual energy.

At the source, they are one. "

Following this conclusion, he thought of another possibility.

"Before, I just intercepted all the newly added spiritual energy.

As my cultivation level continues to improve, more and more spiritual energy will be breathed out and refined each time I practice in retreat.

Isn't it possible that I can drain all the spiritual energy from Sanchuan Yuan in just one practice? "

Thinking of this, Meng Zhou couldn't help but gasped.

Then he sighed:

"It seems that Sanchuan Plain is indeed no longer suitable for my cultivation."

With his rapid growth, not only did Mikawahara become an obstacle to his growth, but in turn, he also became an obstacle to Mikawahara's growth.

"Is this considered a mutual dislike?" Meng Zhou thought in his heart.

…

With such a big event happening in Sanchuan Plain, "Ge Ping" was inevitably alarmed.

Fortunately, there is a Bingxinxuelian clone staying in Sanchuanyuan, who can switch back and forth between "Song Yang" and "Ge Ping" freely.

In addition, Meng Zhou can take over at any time and conduct remote control.

In addition, the main palace of Sanchuanyuan City has now formed a tacit understanding that "non-important matters will not alarm the Danjie monks, and all matters will be handled by the fake Dan and the forces behind the Jiedan monks."

As long as "Ge Ping" and "Song Yang" didn't show interest in taking the initiative to participate, no one would bother them.

The Jade Blood Army behind "Ge Ping" and the Professional Association behind "Song Yang" have enough ability and skill to deal with these problems.

Therefore, Sanchuanyuan caused a huge sensation because of the spiritual veins growing again, which once again focused the attention of the entire Qingxuan Domain cultivation world on Sanchuanyuan.

But for the alchemy monks such as "Ge Ping" and "Song Yang" who were among them, it did not have much impact.

Everyone just exchanged messages with each other and looked forward to a better future - which was also a more intense future. The newcomers including Liang Rui, Deng Gang, Fu Qiang, etc. were all immersed in their own cultivation.

Everyone seemed to have turned into ascetics.

——It’s not enough without “suffering”. Sanchuanyuan can continue to grow, which is naturally a good thing for the entire Sanchuanyuan cultivation world.

But when it comes to individual practitioners, this may not necessarily be the case.

It is foreseeable that the competition in Sanchuanyuan will become more and more fierce in the future. From Qi training to elixir formation, no practitioner can be "alone".

…

In a blink of an eye, time has come to March.

The fifth day of March, afternoon.

Cultivation progress +300, fourth level of elixir formation 6820/10,000;

Third level Spring Water Sutra +3000, Master 87,000/120,000;

Black Turtle Bearing Monument True Skill +3000, Master 75,300/120,000.

…

After finishing this retreat, Meng Zhou removed the array flags arranged on the stone island and put them all into the spiritual gourd space.

As soon as I thought about it, there was a faint golden cloud rising from the depths of the nearby water.

Soon, these originally dim golden clouds broke away from the water and lingered in the nearby void.

These 30,000 golden armored spirit insects, after two months of accumulation and feeding with sufficient and high-quality heart essence and blood, are more powerful than they were two months ago.

Meng Zhou examined them carefully and selected some of the golden-armored spirit insects.

Then, he took out a large amount of heart essence and blood, dispersed it into 16,000 even points, and dropped them on the 30,000 golden armored spirit insects.

Most of the golden armored spirit insects must first defeat their competing companions if they want to obtain this precious blood.

But there are also a small number of lucky people who can directly eat their heart's blood essence without having to compete with any golden-armored spirit insects.

But whether this bye is lucky or unfortunate for them, only God knows.

If there is no bye, and the companions compete for blood food, it is certainly possible that they will fail and become the resources for the companions to go further.

But it is also possible to succeed. While swallowing blood food, he also turns his companions into materials, becoming a stepping stone for him to go further.

In this way, they will definitely have greater advantages in the next competition.

In this round now, although they have avoided the danger of being devoured by their companions, they have also lost the possibility of gaining more accumulation.

And these "lucky bugs" selected by Meng Zhou all have one thing in common, that is, they are "too stable."

At other times, this might be a good sign.

But now, what Meng Zhou seeks is to hope that these golden armored spirit insects can break the shackles of their bloodline and complete the sublimation leap from the second level to the third level.

At this time, what he needs is not "stability", but "change".

When the boiling golden clouds calmed down again and all the golden-armored insects were silently digesting this round of harvest, the number of golden-armored insects further shrank from 30,000 to 16,000.

When the golden clouds that calmed down again submerged under the water, Meng Zhou, who had finished dealing with all this, didn't wait long before he saw two Xuanling turtles approaching quickly from the water in the distance, with Bai Zhi standing on the back of Turtle Er.

And above her head, there was a gorgeous, ribbon-like aurora hanging down from the sky like a waterfall.

Then, it turned lightly upwards a few meters above her head, drawing a natural arc trajectory.

Looking at the trajectory of the aurora flowing through the void, it looks like an invisible goddess dancing with her long sleeves.

One person and two turtles quickly came to Meng Zhou. Meng Zhou stared at the two Xuanling turtles for a while.

After more than two months, the bloodline levels of the two mysterious turtles, which have reached their limit and can break through even if they take a slight step forward, have not changed at all.

But compared to more than two months ago, when they were first thrown into this water by Meng Zhou, obvious differences can be seen.

They had been hunting non-stop for more than two months with Bai Zhi, and a large number of second-level monsters died in Bai Zhi's storage bags in batches, including many top-grade second-level monsters.

Under the baptism of such high-intensity battles, the various innate abilities that were originally just "possessed" have now become completely "mastered".

The two Xuanling Turtles, who originally exuded a sense of "clear stupidity", finally gained a ferocity and wildness that came from a large number of killings.

Meng Zhou nodded slightly and put the two mysterious turtles into the beast bag.

Half holding Bai Zhi in his arms, "Let's go."

While speaking, Meng Zhou, who was still on the stone island one moment, appeared at the dome rock wall four thousand meters away from the stone island the next moment.

The next moment, Meng Zhou and Bai Zhi, who was half held in his arms, disappeared and disappeared silently into the rock wall above the dome.

Soon, the two of them had crossed thousands of meters of rock formations and reappeared on the surface.

With a wave of his hand, the green wolf appeared in front of the two of them, and Meng Zhou took Bai Zhi into the wolf's belly.

At this moment, the green wolf has turned into a strong wind, blowing away in the predetermined direction.

It didn't take long for the strong wind transformed by the green wolf to reach a place three thousand miles away.

This place is not only not in the same place as the third-level spiritual land that Meng Zhou chose for Yaya before, but it is not even in the same direction.

It's not a third-level spiritual land, but a huge lake filled with evil aura.

The strong wind transformed by the green wolf suddenly descended from the sky and flew past the lake close to the water surface.

The water surface that the strong wind passed through had no time to cause subsequent changes, and was deflected by the waves caused by two huge mysterious turtles smashing into the water.

After the two Xuanling turtles entered the water, they instinctively felt excited and excited from the inside out, from the body to the mind to the blood.

They did not suppress the changes that occurred in the body at all. Instead, they actively contributed to the situation, forming a wave of waves in the body and attacking the barrier deep in the blood.

In the process of this change, the distance between the two turtles naturally became wider and wider.

Above them, the purple cloud of calamity is getting bigger and bigger, becoming more and more eye-catching.

In the distance, Bai Zhi looked at the two purple clouds that were getting bigger and bigger and more powerful, and suddenly said:

"I want to go out and have a look, is that okay?"

The wolf belly space she was in now protected her too well.

Not only would she not be affected by the evil aura while she was in it, but also all the changes brought to this area by the appearance of the Tribulation Cloud would be filtered out by Green Wolf.

This made Bai Zhi, who was present at the scene, no sense of on-site experience at all.

“Okay, but please pay attention to the safe distance and don’t get too close.

You are in a special situation now. If you don't pay attention, you may be involved in the robbery. By then, you won't be able to break through even if you don't want to. "

Bai Zhi is now at the point where she can break through with just one step. If she is not careful, she may be "coerced" by the catastrophe.

Breaking through in such an environment with strong evil aura would be no problem for the two Xuanling Turtles, but for Bai Zhi, it would be a disaster.

Bai Zhi naturally understood and nodded: "I will be careful."

Meng Zhou nodded gently, released Bai Zhi, and arranged the Green Wolf Spirit Puppet around her to protect her safety.

And he himself has disappeared around Bai Zhi.

"Don't worry, I'm patrolling around to avoid harassment from other third-order monsters."

At this moment, Meng Zhou had already sensed that there were three powerful demonic auras in the depths of the lake, rapidly appearing from far to near.

Monster beasts have a very strong sense of territory. Even if they reach a point where they can break through through calamity, they cannot just find a place to break through.

Every third-level monster will leave a distinctive aura mark in the core area of ​​its activities to warn other monsters that this is a forbidden area that cannot be crossed at will.

As for breaking through in other big demon core territories, that is not allowed.

This kind of behavior is no different from setting off firecrackers in someone else's bed.

Meng Zhou chose this lake for the two mysterious turtles to break through the calamity. As soon as the calamity cloud appeared, the aura of the great demon hidden deep under the lake rushed out.

You can imagine how angry they are now.

Meng Zhou was not nervous at all about this. Instead, he was delighted: "The fishing was successful."
