Chapter 97: Current Situation in the Valley

The value of strategic resources such as Ningling Pills is also worth Zhou Daocheng's careful attention. If he is lucky, he may be able to add a foundation-building strongman to the family.

However, in most cases, Ningling Pills will be saved and will not be used directly by family members, because the failure rate of breakthrough is still too high.

1

10 probability!

This means that ten family elders at the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining will consume ten Ningling Pills before a foundation-building strongman may appear.

If it were not a critical moment for the survival of the family, it would be impossible to waste the family's strongmen in this way.

The only possibility is that when a family member is 69 years old, he happens to reach the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining and is determined to try to break through, and the family does not have a second foundation-building pill. In this case, Ningling Pills may be provided.

When it comes to Ningling Pill, Zhou Daocheng's eyes suddenly light up, and he turned around and asked: "Brother, are you cooperating with the Zhu family of Danyue Mountain? How is your relationship with the Zhu family?"

Zhou Daobai thought for a while and said: "Not bad. The head of the Zhu family, Senior Zhu Changqin, is a very kind person. He lent me money to develop the spiritual field in the early stage. He is a good person."

Zhou Daocheng nodded slightly, thinking in his mind, and vaguely had some plans: "Brother, I may need to discuss a cooperation with the Zhu family in the future. It is related to the future of the family. Can you introduce it to me at that time?"

"It is related to the future of the family?" Although Zhou Daobai was doubtful, he still firmly believed in Zhou Daocheng and answered directly: "No problem, you contact me at that time, and I will go to the Zhu family with you."

The two parties agreed that Zhou Daobai would take his own items on the island and return directly to Shenlin Mountain.

Now that the Zhou family is at its weakest in a hundred years, Zhou Daobai, as a ninth-level elder of Qi Refining, must return to the family in time to protect the family.

And Zhou Daocheng also has his own things to do in the next period of time.

After breaking through to the eighth level of Qi Refining, his strength has greatly improved. He needs to put his energy back into learning the formation, especially the first-level superior formation.

Zhou Daocheng arranged the four children directly on the island of his eldest brother Zhou Daobai.

However, their cultivation has not yet reached the Qi Refining stage, so they cannot learn the formation and need to practice first.

Zhou Daocheng taught the "Yuanmai Jue" to the four people. This is the practice that most people in the Zhou family practice, and it is also the practice that Zhou Daocheng first practiced.

Any cultivator with spiritual roots can practice, and the breath is gentle and it is not easy to go crazy, which can ensure a smooth path in the early stage of cultivation.

The four people's talents and comprehension are not high. Zhou Daocheng explained it many times before he could barely record the method of cultivation.

But the path of cultivation depends not only on talent, but also on hard work day and night. If you can calm down, even a cultivator with four spiritual roots has a chance to peek into the foundation-building realm.

After teaching the four people, Zhou Daocheng also returned to his island.

After several months, the moon grass and crystal jade rice planted on the island are still growing vigorously, and there are obvious signs of weeding, which shows that they have been taken care of seriously.

When we rowed to the valley, we could feel the rich spiritual energy as soon as we entered.

The flowers, plants and trees around the valley were also stained with a trace of spiritual energy, becoming more lively and full of vitality.

If we look from the top of the mountain, we can find that the ordinary mountaintop is now surrounded by mist, like a fairyland.

Zhou Daocheng found Meng Yueshan and learned about the recent situation. After confirming that everything was safe, he felt relieved.

These days, the valley has also been developing in an orderly manner.

Meng Yueshan and Lin Yuan formed a small hunting team to clean up the monsters around them and obtain monster materials and natural treasures.

However, a bad situation has appeared recently.

The soul-devouring ant colony discovered before has expanded its living area during this period of time, and it is very likely that it has broken through to the second level.

Although it has not spread to the valley, the mine of the Spirit Snake Sect, dozens of miles away, has been attacked recently, and the losses are not small.

This also made Zhou Daocheng alert. A second-level soul-devouring ant colony is very dangerous.

Qin Lie has been learning to make pills recently. His talent for alchemy is not good, but his character is hardworking enough. Now he has barely reached the level of a first-level low-grade alchemist.

He can refine two first-level low-grade pills, "Yangqi Pill" and "Blood Coagulation Pill".

However, when Zhou Daocheng learned about the alchemy materials consumed by Qin Lie, he couldn't help but take a breath, and his heart was twitching with heartache.

But in the end, he could only sigh helplessly.

This is the characteristic of the art of cultivating immortals. If it is not a person with extremely high talent and comprehension, then he can only rely on countless failures to accumulate experience, which will consume a lot of materials.

This is why many families, even if they have inheritance, cannot cultivate an alchemist, weapon refiner, talisman master, or array master.

Because if there is no teacher's guidance and no solid funds, it is no different from burning spirit stones.

Zhao Yunzhi also stayed in the valley during this period.

She had some knowledge of planting and breeding, so she had been adjusting the ecological environment of the entire valley.

In every corner of the valley, some first-level middle and lower spiritual trees, spiritual flowers, and spiritual herbs had been planted, which could not only stabilize the spiritual energy in the valley, but also warm up the land and continuously optimize the overall environment.

Including the spiritual spring pool, which was originally in charge of Lin Yuan. It seemed to be filled up, but in fact there was no logic.

Now, after Zhao Yunzhi's arrangement, the ecological structure of the spiritual spring pool has been optimized, with a large number of aquatic plants growing, as well as fish, shrimp, snails, loaches and other creatures, forming a small ecosystem.

The six green-bearded shrimps have also grown a lot, but it will take some time to really start to generate income.

Afterwards, Zhou Daocheng personally walked around the valley and found a situation that no one noticed.

As the spiritual energy in the valley became more and more dense, some of the spiritual energy would drift out of the valley.

This is actually a very normal situation, but it is very dangerous for the valley today.

Because the soul-swallowing ant colony is extremely sensitive to spiritual energy, if it detects any abnormality here, it is likely to come closer and cause great losses.

"It seems that a larger formation must be arranged to cover the entire valley."

Zhou Daocheng made a decision in his heart, but the formation that can cover the entire valley must be of high quality, and it is likely that he needs to reach the level of a first-class upper-grade formation master.

Zhou Daocheng sighed secretly. It seems that the most important thing is to improve strength and formation level, otherwise many things will be difficult.

Thinking of this, he chose to return to the underground cave as soon as possible, first practiced, calmed his mind and breath, and then began to study the formation.

[Hundred Vine Formation] and [Green Spirit Sword Formation] are the two formations with the highest priority, and there is no shortage of materials, even overflowing.

"As long as I become a first-class top-grade formation master, I will definitely be able to quickly improve the strength of the family and the valley!" Zhou Daocheng was also full of excitement and began to study the formation.

However, while Zhou Daocheng began to refine the first-class top-grade formation, Shenlin Mountain had a more important thing that was in full swing.
