Chapter 696 Demonic Cultivator Shadow
After returning from Lingjing Mountain, Yao Zongxian told Yang Xuanzhen everything he saw and heard, including his own judgment. The most important point is that Ziyang Sect will definitely take action sixty years later.
Yang Xuanzhen dismissed Yao Zongxian, and she thought to herself: "My decision to leave Yuan Yanlai and Yao Zongxian behind has finally come in handy at a critical moment. If Yao Zongxian's guess is right, there will be another sixty years of leisure time. During this time, I can wait for the purple ginseng to mature."
On the top of the Shennv Peak of Xuansu Sect, a sixth-level spiritual medicine was planted. This sixth-level spiritual medicine has been growing for a thousand years, and it will mature in another sixty years.
When the purple ginseng matures, Yang Xuanzhen can invite the sixth-level alchemist of Yanghuo Palace to refine a furnace of purple ginseng to further improve his cultivation.
This spiritual medicine is the most precious thing in Xuansu Sect besides the sixth-level spiritual vein.
From Yao Zongxian's mouth, Yang Xuanzhen has confirmed that Chen Yunfeng has cultivated a Nascent Soul. Although she somewhat underestimated Chen Yunfeng's strength, with Liu Guyan and Ziyang Tianhuo Fu, Yu State has at least two Nascent Soul fighters stationed, and Ziyang Sect is still stronger than Xuansu Sect.
Although she is very reluctant to see the unification of Yu State, Xuansu Sect has no power to intervene without the support of Yanghuo Palace.
Once Ziyang Sect attacks, Xuansu Sect will not be able to resist.
Now she can only hope that Yao Zongxian's judgment is correct and Ziyang Sect can give her a sixty years to let her take the Zixia Ginseng away intact.
…
Hongshan County was originally the territory of Hongshan Sect, and fell into the hands of Qingxuan Sect more than 200 years ago.
Because Yang Wangyuan blew up the spiritual vein when he withdrew, the grade of this spiritual mountain dropped by one level.
However, among the dozen fourth-grade spiritual veins controlled by Ziyang Sect, Taihong Mountain still has the most abundant spiritual energy.
Compared with Zhongxuan Mountain, which is also a fourth-grade upper-grade spiritual vein, it is still slightly higher.
On Taihong Mountain, Hongshan Sect has opened up a large number of spiritual fields, and the scale of the spiritual medicine garden is slightly larger than that of Qingyang Mountain.
However, because of the war two hundred years ago, all the spiritual medicines that have become popular were taken away by Yang Wangyuan.
Due to the shorter accumulation time, the output of high-level spiritual medicines in Taihong Mountain is far from enough, but the spiritual medicines below the third level have recovered to their original scale.
There are two third-level spiritual plant husbands and more than a hundred Qi training cultivators stationed here by the Spiritual Plant House.
In addition, Zhang Sihong, the governor of Hongshan County, also comes to Taihong Mountain to practice at night.
Due to Zhang Zhixuan's decision to relocate the cultivators, Taihong Mountain soon became deserted. There are only about a hundred cultivators in such a large spiritual mountain.
After the merger of the three sects, Zhang Sihong was assigned to the Guardian Court and became the deacon of the Guardian Court.
Thanks to his status as a clan member of the head of the sect, he was placed in Hongshan County as the governor by the head of the Guardian Court, Lin Ruohua.
Many of the seventeen counties under the Yu Kingdom do not have fourth-level spiritual veins, and the county governors and county magistrates in the counties do not have suitable spiritual veins for cultivation.
Although the conditions in Hongshan County are not the best, and are slightly worse than those in Qingyang, Pingning, Lushan, and Yushan, there is enough spiritual energy to not delay Zhang Sihong's cultivation.
The county seat of Hongshan County is located at the foot of Taihong Mountain, and the population is mainly composed of the families of Taihong Mountain cultivators. A war that year caused great suffering to the mortals in the four counties of Hongshan Sect. After more than 200 years of operation, the local population was completely integrated.
After 200 years of recuperation, Hongshan County has not had major wars, and the population has exceeded more than 3 million. It is a truly populous county in Yu Kingdom, far exceeding Lushan County where the Ziyang Sect's mountain gate is located.
Every year, there are about a hundred cultivators joining the sect from Hongshan County.
Over the past 200 years, there have been 16,000 cultivators who have left this county, but there is only one purple mansion cultivator, Yang Yuntai, and his voice in the sect is far from enough.
Zhang Sihong works in the county governor's mansion during the day and returns to Taihong Mountain for cultivation at night.
The county town is less than 300 miles away from Taihong Mountain. According to Zhang Sihong's flying speed, it only takes about half an hour to go back and forth.
As a county governor, Zhang Sihong does not need to handle government affairs. The only thing he needs to pay attention to is to select talents for the sect. If he can find a cultivator with a natural spiritual root, the sect will reward the county governor with a benefit of 100,000 spiritual stones.
Zhang Sihong's cultivation is the sixth level of the Purple Mansion. His annual salary is only 1,000 spiritual stones. The county governor's position subsidy is 500 spiritual stones. He has no strengths in the hundred arts of cultivating immortals. He can only earn 200 to 300 spiritual stones at most. It takes a decade to earn 100,000 spiritual stones.
Even for a Purple Mansion cultivator with a great background like Zhang Sihong, 100,000 spiritual stones is already a huge benefit.
In addition to selecting talents, the county governor also has to worry about the infiltration of hostile forces in the mortal world, especially the hidden demon cultivators.
Zhang Sihong had just returned to Taihong Mountain from the county city. Not long after, a faint figure swiftly climbed over the city wall and disappeared into the depths of the night.
The night was bleak and dark. More than a hundred miles outside Hongshan City, two cultivators, one tall and one short, met quietly in the dense forest.
The tall cultivator came from Hongshan City and was a demon cultivator who had been hiding in the city for thirty years.
"Brother He, why did you come just now? I've been waiting for you for most of the day."
The short cultivator sounded like a female cultivator, and she seemed to be very familiar with the demon cultivator surnamed He who was hiding in Hongshan City.
The demon cultivator surnamed He said, "The Purple Palace cultivators of the Ziyang Sect are stationed in the county city. If I go out casually, my identity may be leaked. Junior Sister Yang, do you have a blood soul pill? Now that the Ziyang Sect has strict discipline, it is difficult for me to kill cultivators to refine their essence and blood. Without the help of the blood soul pill, I am afraid that my cultivation will not be able to maintain."
Junior Sister Yang took out a few red pills from the storage bag and handed them to Senior Brother He.
After getting the Blood Soul Pill, the cultivator surnamed He could not wait to swallow it, and a strong corpse odor suddenly came from the area of 100 meters.
The Blood Soul Pill smells extremely fishy. The raw materials for refining are mainly the bones of cultivators. I don’t know how patient these two demon cultivators are to be able to swallow this kind of pill?
After refining the Blood Soul Pill, the cultivator surnamed He’s face was slightly rosy, and he said with satisfaction: "Yu Country is no longer a place to stay for a long time. When you see the master, can you convince him to take us away?"
Junior Sister Yang said: "After the disappearance of the ancestor more than 40 years ago, the master has become a frightened bird and has not shown up for many years. I only know that he is hiding in Wu Country, and I don’t know his specific whereabouts. Let’s find the third brother. He has successfully controlled his desire. According to the rules left by the ancestor, after controlling the desire, you can gain some autonomy. If we can get his approval, we can also follow him to leave Yu Country and go to Wu Country to find the master."
The relationship between demon cultivators is naked jungle, and the disciples are completely controlled by the master.
Although He Yang and his companions have successfully condensed their essence, which is equivalent to the foundation-building stage, it is a pity that their fate is not their own.
There are many restrictions on the demon cultivators. Once they anger their master, they will definitely suffer countless pains, and even their ghosts cannot escape.
Without the master's permission, they cannot leave the hiding place at all. Even if they know that Yu Country is in crisis, they dare not flee to other places.
"Third brother is now unable to take care of himself. He is a family cultivator and has been taken to Lingjing Mountain by Ziyang Sect. Under the eyes of the Yuanying cultivators, he will soon be exposed."
"What should we do then?"
"Try to find the master and persuade him to leave Yu Country, otherwise you can only pray for the best."
