Chapter 697: Golden Elixir Passes Away
The cultivation of the demon cultivators is mainly to refine the alien true qi.
The first stage of cultivation is the demon infection. Only when you can adapt to the alien true qi can you proceed to the next stage of cultivation.
After the demon infection, there are two steps: gathering qi and condensing essence. The success of condensing essence is equivalent to the foundation of the cultivator.
After condensing essence, it is to control desire, which can suppress the desire demon. After practicing to this level, the demon cultivators can be considered to have achieved something, and their magical powers can be compared with those of the purple mansion cultivators.
After controlling desire, there are three steps: demon pill, demon infant, and demon transformation.
What realm is above, even the demon cultivators in this world cannot see.
The magic skills have been introduced to this world for more than 100,000 years, and no demon cultivator has been able to ascend to the upper realm.
Those who practice the magic skills will naturally not be favored by the heavens. Even if they are in power for a while and practice to the stage of demon transformation, they will one day encounter opponents like Qing Yunzi and die in human disasters.
Senior Brother He guessed correctly. Even if the low-level demon cultivators on Lingjing Mountain do not practice magic spells, it is difficult to hide the fluctuations of their mana from the eyes of Yuanying masters.
Recently, Chen Yunfeng has been investigating low-level cultivators day and night, and in a short period of time, he found more than 30 low-level magic cultivators.
One of them is Tang Yinglai, the senior brother of He Yang and his friends.
Tang Yinglai was born in a foundation-building family. When he was young, he was seduced by a magic cultivator and learned magic spells.
Entering the magic way is like getting on a pirate ship, and there is no autonomy at all.
After the establishment of Ziyang Sect, it quickly issued a conscription order, and more than a dozen Jindan cultivators took action together to escort the cultivators from the counties below to the mountain.
Tang Yinglai had no time to escape, and was captured by Su Dehui and his men to Lingjing Mountain.
Not a few days later, Chen Yunfeng noticed something about this person.
The Tang family had a magic cultivator named Tang Yinglai, and more than a hundred cultivators could only consider themselves unlucky. They were broken into the Qi Hai Dantian by Ziyang Sect, and their cultivation was abolished and they were detained in Jinxia Mountain.
Demonic cultivators are extremely harmful. An ancient demon Liang Rusheng killed tens of millions of people in Wu State. More than 100,000 cultivators died in the demonic cultivators' rebellion, and the legacy has not been eliminated until now.
Only by severely cracking down on demonic cultivators can this unhealthy trend be stopped.
If Zhang Zhixuan had not felt that it was inhumane to punish the whole family and pardoned their death penalty, all these Tang family members would have died, and even mortals would have become slaves for ten generations.
Although Tang Yinglai was controlled by the Yin Demon and did not explain anything.
However, from the Yin Demon's killing methods, Chen Yunfeng still realized that his old rival Lu Shaoling was behind this person.
Chen Yunfeng fought with Lu Shaoling twice. Two hundred and sixty years ago, she was defeated and almost caused Lin Ruohua and Xia Youqing to ruin their paths.
Xia Youqing is a cultivator with a heavenly spiritual root. Because of this incident, he was injured for three decades and his cultivation did not progress in two hundred years.
More than forty years ago, Chen Yunfeng finally severely damaged his opponent because of his teammates.
In that battle, Lu Shaoling was not only seriously injured, but also lost the Seven Sacred Demon Lanterns passed down by the ancient demon.
Since then, this person has disappeared. Who knows where he went?
In recent decades, there have been few demon cultivators in Yu State.
Although there are news of killing and robbing treasures from time to time, some cultivators disappear every year.
However, the order has gradually stabilized, and there are few cultivators above the foundation-building stage who died in the war.
After cleaning up some low-level demon cultivators, Ziyang Sect quickly got on the right track.
Time passed very quickly, and five years had passed in the blink of an eye.
In five years, Ziyang Sect’s treasury has accumulated 500,000 spirit stones. Compared with a Yuanying sect, this amount of spirit stones is insignificant. If a war occurs, 500,000 spirit stones may be consumed in half a month.
However, there is still good news in these five years. A large-scale refined iron mine was discovered in Longjiang County.
Refined iron can be used to refine low-level magic tools and some special puppets.
With this mineral vein, Ziyang Sect does not need to purchase from outside, and can even sell to Song State, and the annual income can also increase by 20,000 to 30,000.
One day, Zhang Zhixuan was in seclusion in the underground cave of Lingjing Mountain, and Wei Bohan hurriedly sent a sound transmission sound.
Zhang Zhixuan opened the door of the cave and saw Wei Bohan's anxious face. He frowned and asked, "What happened?"
"Report to the head, Elder Yuan's soul lamp went out a quarter of an hour ago."
After the general affairs hall was abolished, Wei Bohan naturally could not be the hall master.
Because the rules of Ziyang Sect have changed, the purple mansion cultivators are no longer able to take charge of the sect.
Wei Bohan is now responsible for guarding the ancestral hall. Although he is free and comfortable compared to the past, the benefits are far less than before.
Hearing this important news, Zhang Zhixuan was shocked and said, "What? How can it be so fast? Ask the disciples who serve Elder Yuan immediately to see if she has any last words?"
Although he knew that Yuan Yanlai's life span was not long, Zhang Zhixuan was still a little surprised to hear this news.
He immediately told Liu Guyan and Chen Yunfeng the news, so that they could see this old friend for the last time.
Ziyang Sect has set a rule that after any cultivator passes away, the remains must be refined by their closest relatives, so as to avoid them being used by demon cultivators and leaving hidden dangers for the sect.
The remains of Jindan-stage cultivators can be immortal for thousands of years, and are very precious resources for both demon cultivators and monsters.
Yuan Yanlai has no close relatives. In the past four hundred years, the few remaining disciples have died one after another and left before her.
Only a few old friends can collect her remains.
Since more than 30 years ago, Yuan Yanlai's magic power has been sealed. Without magic power, she needs someone to take care of her daily life.
A dignified Jindan cultivator, how could he fall to this point in his later years?
She had a very complicated heart towards her old friend Liu Lingjun, and often said some resentful words in her later years.
After Chen Yunfeng formed her infant, she rarely met with her, so as not to irritate her and embarrass her.
According to her age, she should be able to hold on for another twenty years.
Unexpectedly, she died before Gu Xuanzhou.
She left quietly without leaving any last words.
Yuan Yanlai died quietly like this.
Zhang Zhixuan had dealt with Yuan Yanlai several times, but their relationship was not close. Although she died unexpectedly, it did not affect Zhang Zhixuan too much.
The most uncomfortable people were probably Chen Yunfeng and Liu Lingjun. They were not much different in age and had been close friends since they were teenagers.
Seeing Yuan Yanlai's old and dry body, Chen Yunfeng, a Yuanying cultivator, actually cried at the desk.
In the battle that year, Liu Lingjun fled with his disciples and abandoned Chen Yunfeng and Yuan Yanlai to Yang Xuanzhen's sword.
Chen Yunfeng barely saved herself with the Yushan formation, and Yuan Yanlai was unlucky and fell into Yang Xuanzhen's hands.
Just think about how difficult it was to live in such a miserable way for four hundred years.
Yuan Yanlai's departure was a relief.
As long as a cultivator has not become an immortal, everyone will face this day.
Living for more than ten years, she will still suffer in the mortal world.
As a Jindan-stage cultivator, she needs help to climb the stairs. How difficult is such a life for her?
Perhaps dying under Yang Xuanzhen's heart-eating poison can make her feel better.
