Cultivation starts from crossing three years

In fact, the reason why he invited Zhang Qingyuan to join this team was not only to win over himself, but also because Zhang Qingyuan knew the general idea and knew how to advance and retreat.

As it is now, if you know how to retreat, at least you know how to handle the relationship between the teams well and integrate into the team.

As a member of the same sect who came out of the same sect, he formed a lot of relationships after entering the inner sect. He was a natural ally in himself, and coupled with Zhang Qingyuan's own aptitude and potential, it was only natural to make friends with him.

"only……"

Looking at Zhang Qingyuan in front of him, Zhao Yuanyang felt a hint of jealousy that he hadn't noticed.

"How did Qing Yuan's strength grow so fast?!"

More than two years ago, when he was in the seventeenth courtyard of the Outer Gate, his cultivation had just reached the eighth level of perfection, while Zhang Qingyuan was only at the sixth level of perfection at that time.

And now?

The opponent has already stepped into the Ninth Layer Realm, and I am only in the middle of the Ninth Layer!

In the past, he was confident that he only needed to use one finger to defeat the man in front of him.

But now, knowing that Zhang Qingyuan had defeated Zhao Yuanyang, who was in the late stage of Lingyuan Jiuzhong, in the year-end competition, he had no confidence in whether he could go all out to defeat the opponent!

This level of progress is simply appalling!

Zhao Yuanyang has a good family background since he was a child, and he can be regarded as a child in the eyes of others. He has never tried the meaning of jealousy, but now he feels it.

Although he didn't know that feeling was jealousy.

"It's getting late, everyone, let's go."

Seeing that all the people had arrived and the atmosphere among the teams had become harmonious, everyone started to set off under the leadership of Zhao Yuanyang.

……

That Dongfu ruins are located outside the territory of Yunshuizong's influence.

All of this has to start with the distribution of forces in the Yuzhou cultivation world.

As the overlord of the top sect in Yuzhou's cultivation world, Yunshuizong occupies the only large-scale spiritual vein in Yuzhou, and the range of thousands of kilometers is within this huge large-scale spiritual vein.

The large spiritual vein has a master.

Therefore, within a radius of several thousand miles, the spiritual springs and veins derived from the Yunshui Mountains in the mountains and forests all belong to the Yunshui Sect in a certain sense.

It is precisely because of this,

For example, the Hu Family in Qingshan Town, the Alliance of Cultivation Forces in Hetang Town, and even the Jiang Family in Luoshui, which Zhang Qingyuan had contacted, need to pay half of their own resource output to Yunshuizong.

at the same time.

As a price, Yunshuizong will also guarantee that they will not be invaded by foreign enemies.

For example, if a casual cultivator from other places sees the richness of the Hu family's accumulation, he breaks the Hu family by force like a bandit, kills all the family members of the Hu family, and plunders the cultivation resources.

Then Yunshuizong will send a special law enforcement team to hunt down and kill the casual cultivator who committed the crime.

Don't doubt Yunshuizong's ability.

This has a certain similar relationship with Zhang Qingyuan's ancient state power and the power of the landlord family in the territory.

As for outside the large spiritual veins of Yunshui Mountain.

It was a land where there were many sects and aristocratic families. Those cultivation forces were headed by the Yunshui Sect in Yuzhou, but they didn't have to make offerings to the Yunshui Sect.

At the same time, they have to face threats from the outside world all the time.

There are the rise of new powers and the decline of families.

The reincarnation that the world cannot escape.

After years of development in the cultivation world, although there is already a certain stability and order in the cultivation area outside the Yunshui Sect, the naked law of the jungle still exists.

Fights among casual cultivators, fights between families, blood feuds between sects.

Around cultivation resources,

The bloody struggle and killing continued.

Within the territory of Yunshuizong's influence, the decline of the family may still rise, but in the outside world, the defeat of one party almost means the destruction of the other party!

The alchemist's cave that Zhao Yuanyang and the others found was just outside the boundary of Yunshuizong.

"The remains of the cave are not far from the sphere of influence of the sect, and although the cultivation forces around the Yunshui Sect are not under the sect's command, at least they recognize the face of the big brother next to him and won't embarrass us Yunshui Sect Sect disciples, so don't worry too much about safety."

"In addition to the outside world of the Yunshui Sect, the distance between the gathering places of cultivation with spiritual veins is not short. Although they follow the law of the weak and the strong, fighting and killing does not happen every day if you look at the entire Yuzhou. It's generally relatively safe."

Along the way, Zhang Qingyuan, who followed behind the team, was thinking in his heart.

"Speaking of traveling through so many years, I haven't left the sphere of influence of the sect. This time is just an early investigation to get in touch with the outside world of comprehension, so that I won't be blinded when I need to go out in the future."

"Relatively speaking, this line is just right!"

There are many people, relatively safe.

And following behind can at least learn something, needless to say, as long as you observe carefully, you can generally learn some walking skills outside.

It is most suitable.

It's just, I don't know if it's an illusion, but why does it feel like there's some vision wandering behind?

Zhang Qingyuan looked around without missing a trace.

Nothing was found.

Brow wrinkled slightly.

Chapter 158 Puppet

In the wilderness, among the crowd, Zhang Qingyuan was a little hesitant.

But in the end, he didn't say anything.

Following the team, quickly disappeared into the distance.

Soon,

A certain space fluctuated like water waves, and the figure of a middle-aged monk appeared in midair, looking at the direction where everyone left in the distance.

"Did that kid find me? No way!"

"It's only been half a year, and that kid seems to be progressing a little faster!"

The middle-aged monk had a look of surprise and uncertainty on his face.

Zhang Qingyuan, he knew him.

Because the middle-aged monk originally planned to make him a strong competitor to stimulate and alert Zhao Yuanyang, so that he could put his excess energy back on the right path of cultivation.

However, what he never thought of was that,

Zhang Qingyuan's strength would improve so fast that he could even detect his prying eyes!

"Forget it, whether you find it or not, anyway, having one more powerful companion will at least ensure the safety of that kid..."

I thought to myself.

A wave of light shook, and the figure of the middle-aged monk disappeared again.

It was as if nothing had happened in situ.

……

Zhang Qingyuan was a little disappointed after all.

When everyone left the territory of Yunshuizong, they didn't have much contact with the outside world, and plunged into the uninhabited wilderness.

In that continuous wilderness area, cultivation resources are scarce, and spiritual resources are rare.

Belongs to poor mountains and bad waters, inaccessible.

Occasionally there are ferocious beasts wandering around, so you need to be alert to danger at all times.

After the group entered the wilderness area, their speed slowed down.

Even with the experience of walking once, Zhao Yuanyang dare not say that they can run amok in the whole wilderness area, sailing carefully for ten thousand years, and don't care about it in the wild adventure.

It is also because of being so careful.

On the fourth night after entering the wilderness area, everyone discovered and defeated a group of demon wolves that were lurking and attacking at night, so as not to cause any damage to personnel.

In the next three days, he fought hard and killed a monster tiger.

It's been smooth sailing since then.

Until the ninth day, a group of people finally came to the place where the target was.

A tree-lined valley that looks inconspicuous from a distance.

It is indeed inconspicuous.

Zhang Qingyuan encountered countless valleys like this on his way here, and Zhang Qingyuan didn't even notice any clues when he came here. If it wasn't for the guidance recorded in Zhao Yuanyang's jade slip, he might even have wondered if he was on the wrong road.

"It's here!"

Under the leadership of Zhao Yuanyang, everyone flew towards the valley.

With excitement in the eyes.

"This place itself is extremely remote, and the vast wilderness is even more inaccessible. If it is an accident to deduce the location of this senior's cave from the ruins of the predecessors, it will be difficult to find."

"The phantom array at the outermost edge of the cave ruins has already been broken through, but before leaving, in order to cover up, we repaired the previously broken phantom array."

Everyone stood in front of the valley.

The female formation mage Wu Qin in the team took a step forward, and an extremely complicated formation appeared with a wave of her hand.

I saw a burst of dazzling operations.

The void in front of him immediately opened up like water waves, turning into a light curtain visible to the naked eye.

tear off the light curtain,

It's like tearing a rift in the space.

The crowd rushed in.

The scenery in front of him suddenly changed.

As if the world is spinning, there is a hidden hole in the valley.

This is a mountain stream.

The spring water in the mountains falls from a high place, forming a stream of horses, making a rattling sound, and the surging mist is harmoniously mixed with spiritual energy, turning into lingering clouds and mist.

"This is……"

Sensing the strong aura in the air, Zhang Qingyuan was slightly startled.

"That's right, this place is a place where spiritual energy gathers. Perhaps there is a tiny spiritual vein sealed inside the cave, or it's too old, and the spirit gathering array inside it has been slightly out of order, so there is spiritual energy escaping. .”

Zhao Yuanyang introduced the authenticity while walking forward.

Subsequently,

Everyone jumped out towards the place where the waterfall was, and rushed into the waterfall.

What appeared in front of everyone again was a slightly narrow cave passage.

Around the cave, there are traces of fire and the collision and explosion of spiritual artifacts.

A mess.

extended into the distance.

It can be seen that in this passage, Zhao Yuanyang and others have gone through a lot of hard work before dismantling the outer magic circle layer by layer.

"That's it, that's the last level!"

In front.

The passage has come to an end.

At the end, there is an ancient stone gate, six puppet figures made of unknown materials stand guard on both sides of the stone gate.

Although the humanoid puppet was as motionless as a dead object.

But just a vague aura escaping from it, you know that this thing is definitely not an existence to be messed with!
