Chapter 115 Layout

After sending away Bai Yunzi, the "immortal seeker", Xu Yang was once again alone on the island.

In the whole world, could it be the royal land?

On the shore of the land, could it be the king's ministers!

A place with people. As long as there are martial arts, there will be a ruling system. This is an eternal thing.

The same goes for the world of cultivation, except that the ruler has changed from a secular dynasty to a cultivation sect.

The three Jindan sects ruled the Liang Kingdom and had already formed a complete system, and the sects generally had the position of "immortal search envoy".

The method of cultivation is based on spiritual roots and spiritual energy.

The so-called immortal envoys are the disciples of the three Jindan sects. They represent the three Jindan sects and are distributed in the Liang Kingdom. They walk around the world from time to time, looking for spiritual root seeds, discovering the spiritual veins of the spiritual earth, and collecting them in the wall gate.

The former is human resources, and the latter is development resources. They are both strategic things, and naturally they must be firmly controlled.

Within the Liang Kingdom, all resources, whether in the mortal world or the world of cultivation, theoretically belong to the three Jindan sects, and individuals cannot appropriate them for themselves, especially the spiritual land and spiritual veins.

Therefore, even if you discover a spiritual land, even consume resources and spend all your efforts to cultivate a spiritual land with your own hands, it does not belong to you, but to the three Jindan sects. It must be reported, otherwise it will be disloyal and there will be reasons to destroy it. .

Of course, cultivators are different from mortals. If you treat mortals harshly, you will be harsher. They have no power to resist.

Cultivators are different. They possess sharp weapons and have murderous intentions. Even the three Jindan sects cannot squeeze them desperately and cut off all room for improvement. Otherwise, they will definitely suffer backlash and shake the foundation of the sect.

Therefore, compared to the government gangs in the mortal world that squeeze hard and block the channels for advancement, the sect rule in the cultivation world is more peaceful. You can eat meat while others can drink soup.

This is where the distribution of spiritual land comes from.

After discovering a spiritual land, although you cannot directly take it for yourself, you can report it to the three Jindan sects.

If it is a third-level spiritual land, then needless to say, it must be in the possession of the three Jindan sects.

But if it is a second-order spiritual land or a first-order spiritual land, the three Jindan sects will not take it as their own, but record it in the books, and then inform the monks from all sides, especially the various foundation-building forces, to start a battle The battle for spiritual land.

As the discoverer of the spiritual land, you have the right to "defend the challenge". As long as you accept the challenge and defend the challenge three times under the witness of the three Jindan sects, you will gain ownership of the spiritual land and become the ruling system of the three Jindan sects. a part of.

This is Xu Yang's plan to "hide away from the city".

He first put away all kinds of abnormal objects on the island and arranged them into what a "first-order spiritual land" should look like. Then, as "Li Jianchen", he found the Qingyu Sect's immortal envoy in this area.

Qingyu Sect, one of the three Jindan sects, is the actual ruler of Dongting Lake and surrounding areas.

Xu Yang found the Qingyu Immortal Envoy and reported the matter of the Dongting Spiritual Land.

The spiritual land arises by itself. Although Dongting is an ordinary place, it is possible for the spiritual land to arise, which does not arouse too much suspicion.

When the spiritual land was first formed, it was only the first level. As "Li Jianchen", Xu Yang showed his cultivation in the middle stage of foundation building. In theory, it was not difficult to occupy a first-level spiritual land.

But it's just a theory.

In the world of cultivation, it’s not just about fighting and killing, it’s also about human relations.

Generally speaking, this kind of spiritual land battle involves one party's foundation-building forces recruiting friends, making alliances, and defending the three battles together, and finally they can take possession of it and claim it as their own.

Networking is important.

If you are a foundation builder, there are foundation builders in your clan, or you are on good terms with other foundation builder forces, and everyone is willing to give you face, then there is no problem in getting a piece of spiritual land.

But if you are alone and have no powerful allies to help you, then you have to defend the three battles alone and face the challenges of the three foundation builders, which is very difficult.

Xu Yang is not alone. In addition to himself, there are also two foundation-building spiritual beasts on the island, the golden eagle and the electric eel. As long as the lineup is arranged, the general foundation-building forces will definitely retreat and not dare to embarrass him.

But he wasn't going to do that.

Because what he really cares about is not the foundation-building forces, but the golden elixir forces like Qingyu Sect.

Although the sect's rule is relatively loose, it is only loose. They are still a big mountain pressing on their heads.

It was impossible for a casual cultivator, who came from an unprovoked background, to bring two foundation-building spirit beasts with him without being suspected by the Jindan Sect.

In addition, the foundation-building forces also have "tax labor" obligations to the Jindan Sect. The more foundations there are, the more taxes they have to pay. If there are more than two, then a foundation builder must be sent out every once in a while. Serve.

Therefore, the rule of the three Jindan sects in Liang Kingdom has already formed a complete system.

All cultivators and all forces were tied to their chariots.

It is impossible to stay out of the situation and develop and expand.

Therefore, Xu Yang was not prepared to expose the spiritual beast.

Is it feasible to guard the three rounds alone without the spirit beast?

Naturally it works.

With his current strength and foundation, as long as he is not in the foundation building perfection, or comes from a large sect and is in the late stage of foundation building, he can hold on to ten strikes, not to mention three strikes.

It's just that...showing off one's power in this way is not his pursuit.

This time, he not only wanted to build a foundation and show off his prestige and deter all parties from coveting him, but also wanted the Qingyu Sect to accept his existence and reduce their suspicion and fear of him.

In this way, he can have a stable development period.

It is necessary to intimidate all parties to build the foundation, but also to prevent the Jindan Sect from being suspicious and jealous.

This... is very difficult.

But Xu Yang was prepared.

As long as you perform, you can achieve your goal.

…

After sending Bai Yunzi away, Xu Yang was not idle. He immediately took out the materials and started refining the weapon again.

The magic weapon he wants to refine this time is called the Hundred Ghost Banner, and it is also an ancient magic weapon in the Taoist world.

This flag can accommodate the souls of the dead and control ghosts. It is a must-have for the "ghost-fighting" monks.

It is said that on the Hundred Ghost Banner, there are also the Thousand Soul Banner at the spiritual weapon level and even the Ten Thousand Soul Banner at the magic weapon level.

But Xu Yang currently does not have such capital, so he can only refine the magical weapon Hyakki Banner.

With his current weapon refining skills, it can be said that refining magic weapons is easy.

Not long after, a gloomy long banner was formed in the thunder and spiritual fire.

Thunder, the cardinal of heaven and earth, governs all things, including Yin, Yang and the Five Elements.

Therefore, there is no problem in using thunder as fire to refine a Yin magic weapon like the Hundred Ghost Banner.

Not only will they not conflict with each other, but they can also combine yin and yang, giving the "yin weapon" a bit of pure yang, improving its quality and power.

"A high-grade magic weapon is also pretty good."

Xu Yang smiled, put away the Hundred Ghost Flag, and took out the second set of materials.

That's right, for the second material, he wanted to refine the multi-faceted Hyakki Banner, because one Hyakki Banner couldn't meet his needs.

A lion fights a rabbit with all his strength. Although he is already very strong now, he doesn't mind making himself a little stronger so that he can face the battle for the spiritual land after March in the fullest state.

In this way, three days passed.

On the third day, when the sky became dark again, the nineteenth Hundred Ghost Flag was also completed from the thunder spirit fire.

Xu Yang nodded with satisfaction, put it into his storage bag, and then changed his appearance and disguised himself, eliminating the appearance of "Li Jianchen" and transforming into an old Taoist priest with a cold face and a sinister temperament.

"I am a Taoist from Yinshan, haha!"

Xu Yang laughed loudly, then rode up the thunder cloud and headed straight to the outside of the island.

…

Xu Yang flew through the clouds and mist, leaving Dongting Lake, traveling thousands of miles, and finally came to a misty valley.

This place is not a spiritual place, and there is no cultivation market. However, at midnight, it becomes an alternative trading place. It is a ghost market!

Xu Yang put away the thunder clouds, fell into the valley, threw two spiritual stones, and threw them to the man in black at the entrance handle.

With such a posture, the two ghost city guards wanted to get angry, but when they saw the other party's mid-stage foundation-building cultivation, their angry expressions instantly turned into smiles: "Senior, please come this way!"

Xu Yang ignored him and walked directly into the valley.

In the valley, a ghost market has become a reality. There are many stalls selling all kinds of shady items, such as the corpses and souls of mortals and even cultivators, as well as zombies, demons and other demonic evil objects and related materials.

Xu Yang carried the Hundred Ghost Banner and came directly to a larger stall.

This stall owner is also a foundation-building monk. Like him, he has a cold aura and a pale face. You can tell at a glance that he is a person who practices Yin attributes, or who has been accompanied by Yin evil ghosts all year round.

"What does this fellow Taoist want?"

The stall owner looked up and saw that he was a "fellow-minded person" with a cultivation level in the middle stage of foundation building, and his attitude was a little more enthusiastic.

Xu Yang looked cold and straight to the point: "Evil ghost, the more evil the better."

"oh?"

The stall owner was not surprised when he heard this, and directly took out an urn: "What do you think of this, fellow Taoist?"

Xu Yang took the urn, glanced at it with his mind, and then nodded: "Not bad, how much!"

The stall owner was also direct: "There are ten extremely evil ghosts in the cup. They were collected with great pains by poor Taoists. The minimum is a thousand spiritual stones!"

"A thousand spirit stones?"

"It's fair."

Xu Yang nodded and asked again: "Only one?"

"..."

The stall owner glanced at him, and then took out three more urns: "Four, you can give Taoist friends a 10% discount."

"I don't want your bone cup and three thousand spirit stones!"

Xu Yang didn't say much and just threw out a storage bag.

The stall owner picked up the storage bag and took a look, and his eyes immediately showed a bit of joy: "Okay, fellow Taoist, just take it away."

"Um!"

Xu Yang nodded, took out the Hundred Ghost Flag, and directly put the evil ghosts in the urn into it.

"This flag..."

The stall owner looked at the Hundred Ghost Banner in his hand and was a little surprised: "It's really a fine product."

Xu Yang didn't answer. After collecting the evil ghosts, he turned around and walked to the next foundation-building monk's stall.

…

In this way, half an hour later, Xu Yang left the valley after shopping around the ghost market.

At this time, there were hundreds of evil ghosts in the storage bag and the Hundred Ghost Banner.

But he was not satisfied yet, so he took advantage of the darkness and rushed to the next ghost market.

He planned to collect evil ghosts and fill them with all nineteen hundred ghost flags to refine the two generals "increasing life and losing life".

The art of conquering ghosts is also a method that can effectively increase combat power in a short period of time and conceal one's identity, which is perfect for his next plan.
