History's first sorcerer

As soon as the Nine-Life Star Ghost in the book of life and death returns to its place, the 98 ghost servants that Zhou Changyong collected before will immediately have a leader.

And the first volume of the book of life and death also has an extra name because of Ying Zhuchun's joining.

The Volume of Pill Prison.

The book of life and death is the holy weapon of the great way, and Zhou Changyong's current cultivation base may use less than one percent or even one thousandth of the power he can use.And when the name appeared on the first book, it meant that Zhou Changyong had already grasped the power of this book.

Almost at the moment when Ying Zhuchun returned to the throne, Zhou Changyong's cultivation was greatly improved again.

In terms of the practice system in the Eastern Territory, he is almost a monk in the Mahayana period.In this world, he barely has the ability to protect himself.

"Your speed is fast enough, but without the help of my seat, I'm afraid it would not be so easy for you to find the Nine-Life Star Ghost." Shi Wujiu took the credit for himself very naturally.

From the very beginning, he discovered the existence of Ying Zhuchun by using the technique of looking at Qi (although he didn’t say it directly, but he reminded him), Ying Zhuchun’s chains were also untied by himself, and he helped cover it up when he took revenge .

So, it's just that I helped a lot, that's the reason.

Shi Wujiu was about to have a good talk with Zhou Changyong, so that this little liar would respect him more in the future, but in the end, he saw Zhou Changyong close the book of life and death, and then began to vomit blood.

Ok? ? ?

Wait a minute.

Didn't he just accept the star ghost's cultivation base, why did he start to vomit?

Oh, right.

"You are still a living person. Although you are able to practice the "Book of the Dead" because of the entanglement of death energy, the higher your cultivation base, the stronger the death energy on your body, and the greater the damage to your body. But If you don't practice hard, your cultivation will not be able to suppress the death energy in you, and you will die soon." Shi Wujiu clicked his tongue twice, looking at Zhou Changyong's eyes with great surprise, "It's all reached this level , why can't you think about it a little bit, and just die once and be a thorough ghost cultivator?"

The so-called ghost cultivation means that what is practiced is the soul.

Moreover, this kind of soul and the primordial spirit mentioned by the monks are still two different things.

After all, although ghost cultivation is also a kind of monk practice, it is still different from other monks' orthodoxy.

Originally, human death is like a lamp being extinguished, so there should be no such thing as ghost cultivation.But reincarnation, life and death are impermanent, the Taoist ancestor was amazingly talented, opened up Huang Quantian to live alone, created a ghost cultivating system, and thus became the master of the Tao, and also gave ordinary creatures another chance to practice.

The practice of ghost cultivation does not look at the bones, does not look at the comprehension, and only looks at the thickness of the soul of the living being itself.But there is no specific standard for who can become a ghost cultivator.Some monks were mediocre in life, but after death they became ghost cultivators, but they made rapid progress.Some monks were top-level powers during their lifetime, but it is very common for them to fail to turn into ghost cultivators after death.

The only thing that is certain is that the probability of becoming a ghost cultivator is much higher for people with strong death energy than ordinary people.

"The chance of a cultivator becoming a ghost cultivator after death is less than [-] percent." Zhou Changyong rested for a while, drank another bottle of potion full of vitality, and then slowly recovered, but his voice was still a little weak .

"You have such a strong death energy, the possibility of successfully becoming a ghost cultivator is ninety-nine percent. And once you become a real ghost cultivator, your cultivation base will definitely improve. If you find another ghostly place to lie down for a hundred years, flat ground Ascension is not difficult." Shi Wujiu said slowly.

"There's still a [-]% chance that I won't be able to become a ghost cultivator, isn't it?" Zhou Changyong asked, "Why should I bet on that? I just want to live."

"Cultivators, how can you be so greedy for life and afraid of death?" Shi Wujiu frowned, but couldn't help but add more points, "I'm in a good mood to mention you. If you are timid, you are not willing to take any risks in order to save your life How can you cultivate the Dao? The more you are afraid of death, the more you will die early. You have such a heart, why don't you give the book of life and death to this seat first, so as to prevent the book of life and death from falling into the hands of others in the future."

If it were a junior of his Yaozu who said such useless words, he would have kicked them right away.

"The joys and sorrows of human beings are not connected, let alone the human race and the monster race?" Zhou Changyong smiled, but he didn't care about Shi Wujiu's words.

Shi Wujiu's words are good, but he just doesn't want to die, so what?

"My practice is to survive. If I have to risk death once in order to practice, then what's the point of my practice?" Zhou Changyong asked rhetorically.

This……

Shi Wujiu has never seen someone who put the words "greedy for life and afraid of death" as straightforwardly as Zhou Changyong in this life.

"Hmph, I'm just worried that sooner or later you will die in the hands of others, and when the book of life and death is lost, I will have to spend my energy to find it." Shi Wujiu sneered, this little liar didn't listen to him, What does it have to do with him if he suffers in the future.

"Senior, don't worry, if one day I really die, it doesn't matter if I give you this book of life and death."

"Really?" Shi Wujiu immediately threw his thoughts away.

"Of course it is true." Zhou Changyong saw Shi Wujiu's face changing instantly, and nodded, "Instead of giving the book of life and death to someone who doesn't matter, it's better to give it to my senior teacher who has always taken care of me and helped me a lot. .”

"Cough, you little liar... Although you are a little afraid of death, you still have a good sense of people. Don't worry, if you are really killed one day, for the sake of life and death, I will The seat will also collect the corpse for you, and help you avenge by the way." Shi Wujiu even started to imagine his wonderful life with the book of life and death and killing everywhere in the future.

Zhou Changyong was very quiet at the side, not disturbing Shi Wujiu's beautiful fantasy now.He didn't lie, if he died, this book of life and death can be given to anyone.However, Zhou Changyong didn't think he would die so easily.

Closer to home.

Due to the deaths of Lin Xiao and the other three, the Eastern Territory also caused an uproar.At present, no one knows why they died, so there are rumors from the outside world, all about revenge, love and murder, and conspiracy and tricks.

But more, or another thing.

When the three of Lin Xiao were there before, they were almost the benchmark of this generation of young monks.Now that all three of them are dead, who can come forward for the new generation of young monks?Although the sect where Lin Xiao and others belonged to was also very angry because of their death, they also felt sorry for the resources and energy they had put in before.

And Su Renfeng was directly arrested by the Zongmen at this moment.

Three outstanding disciples have already died, so this one must never happen again!

Su Renfeng originally wanted to ask Shi Wujiu to go out to see the scenery and eat, so he had no choice but to let it go.On the contrary, Zhou Changyong wrote him a letter in a pretentious manner, indicating that they would leave here temporarily to travel abroad, and if there is a chance to meet again in the future, they will come back to reunite.

"Going to the western border is just a blink of an eye, why bother?" Shi Wujiu was quite dissatisfied with Zhou Changyong.For him, traveling is something he has never experienced for many years.With his ability, Zhou Changyong can appear in any corner of this world with a single thought, so why bother to walk slowly like an ordinary monk?

Besides, this bastard Zhou Changyong used the hook of "Life and Death Book" to let Shi Wujiu cast an illusion on himself, making him look less confusing than before.

Of course, this illusion is mainly for other people to see, Shi Wujiu himself has not changed in any way, it's just that another face will appear in the eyes of those who watch him.

This little liar of the human race must be jealous of my outstanding appearance, which is why he has planned so hard!

However, thinking that the little liar will not live long, and the book of life and death is about to be obtained, Shi Wujiu feels that he will suffer a little loss, for the book of life and death, what is this grievance?

After being so entangled, he was moved by Zhou Changyong's persuasive words.

"It's not difficult to go to Mrs. Caiyun's dojo, but the problem is that we don't know anything about the central region. Only by traveling normally can we meet more people and learn more about things." Zhou Changyong explained himself very patiently the behavior of.

"The death energy on your body is innate. I can't help it. What can a monk who has not become a fairy do? According to me, you follow me directly to Xiaoyaotian, leaving this tattered world of mortals." , maybe you can find someone to renew your life. In my happy life, there are many treasures of heaven and earth that can prolong life."

Zhou Changyong was noncommittal to Shi Wujiu's words.

His current cultivation is far from enough for those immortals to play with a trick, if he goes to Xiaoyaotian with Shi Wujiu, he will put his own life and death in the conscience of others.

Even if Shi Wujiu promised to help him, but Shi Wujiu himself has been tricked and sealed for 7 years, there is really nothing to hope for.Maybe when he enters the Xiaoyaotian, those enemies of Shi Wujiu will rush over first, and then he, this little fish in the pond, will suffer disaster.Of course, this can't be said directly, if I say it, I'm afraid it will blow Shi Wujiu who thinks face is bigger than the sky.

So, Zhou Changyong changed the term.

"I'm a human race. Even if I have the audacity to follow you to Yaozu Xiaoyaotian, senior teacher, it will definitely damage your reputation. In addition, I have a lot of treasures, and there are many great talents in Xiaoyaotian. Who will fall into it? Why don't I search for it in this world of mortals first, if I can find a few more people with special fate, I can also add some means of life-saving for myself."

"There is some truth to it." Shi Wujiu felt that what Zhou Changyong said seemed to be not wrong, "Forget it, this seat will only help you when you are alive or dead, and the rest is up to you."

This time, he promised not to say a word.

Let's see if Zhou Changyong will be convinced by him!

————————————————————————

Running from the eastern border to the western border, you have to pass through a vast desert and a vast ocean in the middle, and then you have to walk on a mountain road for a long time.Even sitting on a special treasure ship in the cultivation world, it would take almost half a year to fly.

However, the monks in the eastern and western borders come and go frequently, and a large number of monks go back and forth between the two regions every year.Therefore, in terms of routes and security, many powerful chambers of commerce already have stable channels.

The spaceships they make tend to have a high capacity for passengers, and there will be many monks in the integration stage or even the Mahayana stage as guards, and there will be a ship open almost every week and every month.

Now there are almost tens of thousands of monks sitting on this boat like Zhou Changyong.

In order to pay for the boat ride with Shi Wujiu, Zhou Changyong sold his previous storefront and collections and exchanged them for spirit stones, so he managed to scrape together enough money for a special room ticket.

The special room on this ship is equipped with a space formation, which is almost [-] square meters.On such a ship, it can already be called the most expensive, and there are all kinds of things in it, and the aura is much more abundant than other rooms.

If you choose the ordinary room, the ticket price will be more than ten times cheaper.Zhou Changyong himself only needs a futon to sit on to practice, but Shi Wujiu was so coaxed by Zhou Changyong that he put illusions on his face, if he can't make him more satisfied in the past six months, I'm afraid life will be difficult.

In order to find a clean place, Zhou Changyong had no choice but to go bankrupt.

Fortunately, Ying Zhuchun was accepted as a star ghost before.

Zhou Changyong had no choice but to ask Ying Zhuchun to refine some elixir and keep it with him after he was destitute.The spirit stone doesn't have much effect on Zhou Changyong, he relies on the dead energy and evil energy to cultivate, the effect of the spirit energy on him is dispensable, it is purely used as a currency for trading.And elixir, in this long-term journey, is a hard currency that is more useful than Lingshi.

You know, because they have a lot of monks on board, and the chamber of commerce will send some goods to the western borders for sale, so they can also be called a big fat sheep.Even if there are great powers in charge, but during the journey across the eastern and western borders, from time to time some monks will come to rob the way, and occasionally some demon cultivators will come to ambush.Therefore, at this time, the high-quality elixir can be sold at a good price, and it can also be Zhou Changyong's help in inquiring about news.

Zhou Changyong has always believed in data.

As long as you know enough information, you can master many things.

The cultivation systems in the Western and Eastern territories are similar, but there are many differences in other aspects.

The monks in the Eastern Territory are mostly sects and families as the core, and they are often passed on from father to son, master to disciple, and monks are often used to practicing in the same sect or family, and only go out to travel when they have reached a certain level of cultivation.

But the monks in the western borders mostly centered on powerful monks.

There are many deep mountains in the west, and there are many dangers, so it is quite difficult to cross the region.There used to be sects from the eastern border trying to establish a sect here, but with little success.

Because on the western border, only the strongest power is recognized.

To put it simply, it is easy to engage in a personality cult.

For example, Mrs. Caiyun is a well-known overseer in the Western Territory.She has a total of 17 disciples under her seat, including 17 servant disciples, [-] registered disciples, [-] ordinary disciples, and only [-] direct disciples.Among the hundred direct disciples, only [-] were her chosen successors.In the end, it depends on Mrs. Caiyun's choice as to who among the [-] people will inherit Mrs. Caiyun's wealth and dojo.

The monks in the western borders often follow the master.If he becomes a student of a certain Da Neng, Da Neng thinks that this disciple is more suitable for other people's practice, and he will write a letter of recommendation for his disciple, asking him to go to other places to learn from him.If the disciple's future cultivation and status are not as good as the master's, the mantle disciple will often take over the master's name and dojo, and continue to train disciples.If the disciple's cultivation has surpassed that of his mentor, he can establish his own Taoist name, change the name of the dojo, and become another great power.As for the inheritance of the mentor, you can use it yourself, or you can choose other senior brothers to let them inherit the title.

Therefore, on the western border, the monks highly respect those famous top powers.The goal of many monks' life is to worship a good master, and practice in the master's dojo by the way.If he can be valued by the master, he will be able to reach the sky in one step and get all the gifts of Da Neng's wealth.

And if you want to become a great power on the western border, the minimum cultivation level to open up a dojo must be the integration period.

In other words, with Zhou Changyong's current cultivation base, he has already begun to recruit disciples and recruit his own influence in the western border.

On this ship, many monks from the Western Territory traveled to the Eastern Territory and returned. They are Zhou Changyong's best source of news.

Moreover, what Zhou Changyong wants to ask is not a secret, it is something that monks in the western territories are already familiar with, it is a little more careful and troublesome, but the quality of the medicine that Zhou Changyong sells is really good , the monks are also willing to chat with Zhou Changyong patiently.

Zhou Changyong can be said to be like a fish in water on the boat.

As for Shi Wujiu, he really didn't like this slow and tattered boat, so he just took a nap in the room.When he woke up, he must have already arrived.

One day, Zhou Changyong got a lot of news from a named disciple who claimed to be a certain great power, and walked back contentedly, but was blocked by a person.

The man was wearing a green dress, and his figure was a little thin, looking weaker than the lifeless Zhou Changyong.

"Why did this fellow Taoist block the way down?" Zhou Changyong asked the other party in a good-tempered manner after taking a look at the other party.

The monk in Tsing Yi was silent for a while, then stretched out his hand, and there was a round pill in his palm.

"This Bu Yuan Pill was given to them by you before." The monk in Tsing Yi looked at Zhou Changyong seriously and asked.

"That's right." Zhou Changyong had nothing to disagree with.Bu Yuan Pill is the most common type of elixir to replenish true essence on the market, and it is also the most popular.So he asked Ying Zhuchun to refine this kind of pill, so he could do it, "Could it be that fellow Taoist thinks there is something wrong with my pill?"

"No." The monk in Tsing Yi replied decisively, "Its quality is very good."

"What's the problem then?"

"Your Buyuan Pill is three points better than the best Buyuan Pill on the market." The monk in Tsing Yi finally got to the point, "Ordinary monks can replenish [-]% after eating the best Buyuan Pill. True essence is already considered good. But yours can allow monks to replenish [-]% of the true essence, and the residual poison of the elixir is almost negligible. If I am not mistaken, this alchemy method is very similar to that of the former alchemy master Ying Yu Chun. I know you are not an alchemist, but I want to know, where did you get this elixir?"

Is this an encounter with an expert?

Zhou Changyong couldn't help laughing.

He himself doesn't need pills to practice, so he doesn't know much about the pills.He had forgotten that Ying Zhuchun was imprisoned precisely because he was too good at alchemy. Even the most common pill, he could refine it differently from ordinary people.

Now he stays in the book of life and death, practicing and refining alchemy every day, and the level of alchemy is even higher than before.Therefore, once this Buyuan Pill is shot, it is easy for experts to see the way.

It seems that I can be more careful in the future.

Several thoughts flashed through Zhou Changyong's mind, but he still gave the cultivator in Tsing Yi enough face, "This elixir was a gift from a former friend of mine. I didn't expect to be spotted by a fellow Taoist."

"Who is that friend of yours, and where is it?" The monk in Tsing Yi didn't expect to be able to ask why, his eyes almost glowed.

The facial features, which were originally dull, suddenly became much more beautiful at this moment, and that kind of joy is very contagious.

This is probably also an alchemist, or the type who is very obsessed with alchemy.

"Because of some things, my friend's whereabouts are unknown now." Zhou Changyong sighed, "I came to the western border to find out his whereabouts."

"There are a lot of spiritual plants in the western territory, which is the dream of alchemists." The monk in Tsing Yi agreed, "Come here can indeed increase your knowledge and improve your level of alchemy."

"Your Taoist's words are quite different from what my friend said." Zhou Changyong was very pleasantly surprised, "Next Zhou Changyong, dare to ask you Zun's name?"

The monk in Tsing Yi hesitated for a moment, and finally gave his real name.

"Chen Huayu, I met fellow Daoist Zhou."
