Chapter 458 Beast Arrest Order

After hearing that the ancestor had refined the foundation-building elixir, the ninth-level qi-training monks at home were all ready to take action.

They all know that the previous rules are difficult to maintain, and they all want to redeem the Foundation Establishment Pill as soon as possible.

For a while, the house was in chaos, with people everywhere interceding and giving gifts. Several ninth-level qi-training monks also asked people to make wishes, and even borrowed usury from the clan members in order to collect enough good deeds to exchange for foundation-building pills.

Now the family has changed the rules and more than doubled the threshold. Unless you have good spiritual qualifications, the family will take special care.

Otherwise, the accumulation of one generation alone would not be enough to collect six thousand good deeds.

After the matter became a foregone conclusion, the family calmed down a little.

After seeing off Wu Rongyuan, Zhang Zhixuan finally had some free time.

Time flies, and five years have passed in a blink of an eye. For the past five years, Zhang Zhixuan has been practicing in retreat in Montenegro.

In five years, not only has his magic power improved, but more importantly, he has also made considerable progress in creating techniques.

Zhang Zhixuan has a good understanding. He has more than ten high-level exercises for reference. He has perfected a large part of the training methods of the Purple Palace in the Pure Yang Book.

When encountering any problems, Zhang Zhixuan would also discuss them with Qingchan Hanyan, or write to Patriarch Jin and other Jindan monks for advice.

If Zifuqi's skills can be perfected, he will probably enter the state of enlightenment again and break through to another level.

Now it has been thirteen years since Zhang Zhixuan practiced to the sixth level of the Purple Mansion, and his mana has stopped increasing since two years ago.

After practicing Taoism for more than a hundred years, this is the second time that Zhang Zhixuan has entered this state where his mana is not increasing. The last time was when he reached the foundation-building stage.

Since entering the bottleneck, Zhang Zhixuan has not forced it, but focused his energy on other aspects.

In the past two years, his main focus has been to decipher the natal magic weapon, the spirit beast flag, left behind by Qingjiao. The quality of this magical artifact is extremely high, reaching the fifth level of top grade. Even within the Qingxuan Sect, there are only two magical artifacts of this level, and one of them is Hu Peiyu's previous life's magical artifact.

Because Wei Xuan, the owner of the Spiritual Beast Banner at the time, had arranged a forbidden method, outsiders could not practice this magic weapon at all. Even though Wei Xuan is dead now, it is still difficult to break the restriction.

Although it has been seventeen years since this magic weapon fell into the hands of the Zhang family, Zhang Zhixuan and Qing Chan tried their best to crack it, but unfortunately they still have not unlocked it.

However, after years of exploration, great progress has been made in the past two years.

This magic weapon is Wei Xuan's natal magic weapon. Even if Wei Xuan is dead, others will still not be able to exert the full effect of this magic weapon.

However, Zhang Zhixuan and Qing Chan have studied and explored this magical weapon for many years, and they have still gained something from this magical weapon and summarized some experiences in controlling spiritual beasts.

Qingjiao was originally a golden elixir from the Beast Control Sect in his previous life. The Beast Control Sect has been dealing with spiritual beasts all his life, and it is regarded as the best in this world.

The spirit beast flag is their most common natal magic weapon. From this magic weapon, we can see some of their techniques for controlling spirit beasts.

There are three main factions of the Beast Control Sect that control spiritual beasts. One is to use the Xuanyin Soul Refining Technique to refine the souls of monster beasts into spirit beast banners. Use this method to control the monsters. Once the monk is in a weak position, the monsters will rebel. The higher the level of monsters, the more they like freedom by nature, and the less they can tolerate being driven by monks. There are even sixth-level monsters that would rather lose both sides and drag the monks of the Beast Control Sect to hell, but also want to get rid of the restrictions of the spirit beast flags. Even if it has been with its owner for thousands of years.

The other faction advocates blending into the monsters and controlling them with their habits, like a sixth-level monster king. This sect needs to smelt the blood of monsters and beasts, and change their bloodline to make people look less like humans and ghosts. Even within the Beast Control Sect, this sect is very rare.

The last group is to influence the monsters, advocating getting along with the monsters from childhood, especially after the monsters advance to the fifth level and gain wisdom, they should teach the monsters human nature like educating disciples, so that they can abandon their animal nature and become closer to humans in nature. However, it is more difficult to cultivate monsters than to teach disciples. Unless they are species with precious blood like true dragons and phoenixes, the cost of investment is simply not worthwhile.

Zhang Zhixuan studied the spirit beast flags and concluded that the first method is the first method. Although he does not know the Xuanyin Soul Refining Technique, he can completely extract the spirit of the monster beast and refine the spirit into the spirit beast flags. However, Zhang Zhixuan also learned a method of soul extraction from the puppet refining method. However, this method needs to be combined with the soul-inducing wood to completely retain the spirit of the monster and refine it into a special token.

This kind of token refined from the soul-inducing wood can only control one monster, and its effect is far inferior to the spirit beast banner that can control thousands of troops.

Looking at the three palm-sized jet black wooden signs in his hand, Zhang Zhixuan smiled bitterly and thought to himself.

"After working hard for so many years, I have just refined this thing, which is equivalent to a low-quality knock-off version of the spirit beast flag. The soul-drawing wood is expensive, and the sect only has one, and it can only produce a few third-level drawings every year. The cost of soul wood and a token has exceeded three thousand, which is more expensive than the puppet beast of the same level.

Although the combat power of the puppet beast is not as good as that of monster beasts of the same level, the puppet beast will not rebel and can be used by monks in the Qi training period. The cost of use is far less than feeding a third-level monster. Besides, you can get a lot of resources by catching the monster and hunting it, but in general, this thing is too useless. "

Qing Chan looked at Zhang Zhixuan silently, with a hint of joy in her eyes. She has been practicing to the ninth level of the Purple Mansion for twenty years. Even though she rarely meditated and practiced in these years, her magic power has reached the pinnacle of the Purple Mansion cultivator. She is a cultivator with a natural spiritual root, and her success rate of breaking through the Golden Core is extremely high. If it weren't for digesting Liu Xuanyan's memory, she would have been sure to break through the Golden Core ten years ago.

In recent years, whenever Qing Chan meditated and breathed in spiritual energy, she would occasionally cause a spiritual energy vortex. If she hadn't forcibly suppressed it, she would probably have broken through the Golden Core involuntarily.

Seeing that Zhang Zhixuan was a little absent-minded, Qingchan smiled and advised: "We are cultivators in the Southern Wilderness, dealing with monsters all day long. Some monsters are very important to cultivators and are also a very important resource. For these beneficial and difficult-to-tame monsters, the beast-binding order we have refined is a very good way to control spirit beasts."

Zhang Zhixuan hugged Qingchan in his arms and said with a bitter smile: "This is the only way to comfort myself. I have invested so much energy and cost, and I have already lost the capital."

Qingchan smiled and said: "Any method is not very mature when it is just created. It is very difficult for you, Brother Zhixuan, to come up with this method. Although my magic power is stronger than yours, I am far less capable than you in this regard. It is precisely because of cultivators like you who are good at innovation that the world of cultivation can become more and more prosperous."
