Chapter 803 Ten Years Later

After killing all the monsters in the Poison Dragon Pond, they could not carry too many monster materials because they did not have enough storage bags. Zhang Zhixuan and Qingchan could only return to Lingjing Mountain with the corpse of the monster king, and then dispatched a large number of low-level cultivators to the Poison Dragon Pond to transport a large amount of monster materials back to the sect treasury.

It took half a month to transport these monster materials back to the sect.

In this battle, one sixth-level monster king, seven fifth-level monsters, more than sixty fourth-level monsters, and more than a thousand fourth-level monsters.

The value of this batch of monster materials is about 10 million spirit stones.

Relying on this batch of monster materials, Zhang Zhixuan personally made sixty furnaces of foundation-building pills. He is the top fifth-level upper-grade alchemist, and his success rate can be controlled at about 80% to 90%.

After opening the furnace sixty times, he refined about 500 foundation-building pills.

Relying on these 500 foundation-building pills, the sect has increased the number of foundation-building cultivators by about 400 in just ten years.

After twenty years of cultivation, the number of foundation-building cultivators in the sect has returned to the level of the Lingjing Mountain War.

During these ten years, Zhang Yunlan and Wang Jingcheng have also refined the inner elixir of demon beasts.

This is the second time for both of them to break through the golden elixir stage, and the success rate is about 50% to 60%.

Wang Jingcheng's breakthrough was very smooth. In the second year of refining the demon elixir, he successfully advanced to the golden elixir stage, and finally added a golden elixir helper to the sect.

Zhang Yunlan was not lucky enough. A little carelessness eventually led to failure, and years of hard work were wasted.

However, her luck was very good, and she happened to catch up with the critical time when the sect was in a period of transition.

At this time, Ziyang Sect only had three purple mansion ninth-level cultivators, and the number of golden elixir cultivators was far from enough.

Even if their performance was not satisfactory, the sect could only grit its teeth and increase its investment in them.

Behind Zhang Yunlan's group of people were Zhang Huangyang and Liang Yuxian, two purple mansion late-stage cultivators. Although these two people could not be said to be mediocre, their qualifications, age and other conditions were slightly worse than Zhang Yunlan's.

Catching up with this good opportunity, with the help of the sect, Zhang Yunlan cultivated for five years and used the Jindan spiritual object for the third time.

This time she finally lived up to everyone's expectations and successfully refined the Jindan.

After three breakthroughs, consuming spiritual objects worth millions of spiritual stones, Zhang Yunlan only accumulated 200,000 good deeds and owed a debt of 800,000 good deeds.

Under the premise of not affecting cultivation, it would take about 200 years to pay off the debt.

Wang Jingcheng and Zhang Yunlan finally made up for the loss of Jindan cultivators caused by the battle of Lingjing Mountain.

However, Zhou Huayang, Wang Chengxiang, and You Nianwei are still recovering from their injuries. Lu Hongniang and Tang Fenglan still need to cultivate for 30 years. The number of Jindan cultivators in Ziyang Sect is still far from enough.

Zhang Yunlan and Wang Jingcheng finally made up for the fact that Ziyang Sect could draw some manpower. After the Jindan, Wang Jingcheng was sent to Danxia Mountain to replace Xia Youqing. Zhang Yunlan was also sent to Da Zhou to garrison in Jiangyang City Market.

Although the contract was signed with the Yuanying of Guiyi Sect, Ziyang Sect could not get much of the income of Jiangyang City Market without its own people watching.

There are great benefits to establishing a base in Dazhou.

Dazhou is well-informed and rich in resources, making it easier to collect various high-level spiritual objects.

After the battle of Lingjing Mountain, after twenty-two years of recuperation, Ziyang Sect finally breathed a sigh of relief and stabilized its decline.

In the past ten years, the cultivation of Yuanying cultivators has also improved.

After more than two hundred years of hard practice, Liu Lingjun broke through the fifth level of Yuanying two years ago, and her cultivation has made a great progress.

Her life span has just passed a thousand years. If her future path is smooth, she should be able to cultivate to the late Yuanying before the calamity.

With the foundation laid in the first life, the practice after the calamity will be of great benefit.

Although Zhang Zhixuan's cultivation did not break through, a crack on the Chunyang Treasure Cauldron was repaired. As his cultivation becomes higher and higher, this magic weapon will slowly recover.

Zhang Zhixuan has been nurturing the Pure Yang Treasure Cauldron for two centuries. Although he has now become a Nascent Soul, he still cannot use the power of this soul artifact. Even if he has mastered the complete treasure refining method, his own mana is far from enough.

It is estimated that he will have to wait until he breaks through to the late Nascent Soul before he can truly sacrifice this treasure.

The treasure of the semi-immortal is rare even in the ten major sects of the Great Zhou.

As far as Zhang Zhixuan knows, although the ancestors of the ten major sects of the Great Zhou have had soul cultivators, three of them have lost their soul treasures.

In this respect, the foundation of the Ziyang Sect is already superior to some major sects.

After killing the Qingtong Demon King, Qingchan used the demon king's blood and a piece of fifth-grade top-grade cinnabar to refine the blood spirit ink, and then used the dragon's reverse scale to refine a sixth-grade low-grade ice soul Xuanguang talisman.

Qingchan is a sixth-grade top-grade talisman maker. Even in the entire Nanyazhou, it is rare to have a talisman maker with a higher level than her.

According to Zhang Zhixuan, only Chu Yangtai of Bixia Palace can compete with her in the art of making talismans.

Among the ten major sects of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there is only this sixth-grade upper-grade talisman master.

However, Chu Yangtai was born in one of the ten major sects, so he can collect more and more precious high-grade spiritual objects. He has practiced for two lifetimes and has more experience in making talismans than Qingchan. He has made three sixth-grade upper-grade spiritual talismans.

Qingchan was born in a small sect in the Southern Wilderness in his previous life. The sect’s foundation was insufficient, and the time for accumulation was relatively short. He only made one purple sun sky fire talisman.

However, she integrated her magical powers into the purple sun sky fire talisman. After refining this spiritual talisman, Liu Xuanyan’s magical powers were also weakened by about half, so she quickly passed the spiritual talisman to her disciples and quietly turned the calamity in Lingjing Mountain.

For this reason, the power of the Ziyang Skyfire Talisman is about 30% to 40% higher than that of the general sixth-grade upper-grade spiritual talisman.

This Bingpo Xuanguang Talisman is the only sixth-grade spiritual talisman of the Ziyang Sect. This talisman is stored in the sect treasury by Zhang Zhixuan, and it is considered a treasure to suppress the sect's luck.

Seeing that the sect is gradually recovering its vitality, Zhang Zhixuan can also spare time to prepare to go to the top of Wuyun Mountain to help Ma Chunsheng's remains to be reincarnated by fire.

This matter has been delayed for two centuries. Now Zhang Zhixuan has cultivated a Yuanying and has some confidence in infiltrating the Wuyun Sect.

However, the Wuyun Sect is well-known in Qingli Sea and its own strength is quite strong. If you want to enter the important place of the Wuyun Sect, it may take Zhang Zhixuan a long time to plan.

Because this trip is relatively dangerous, Qingchan is worried that Zhang Zhixuan will encounter an accident, so they decide to act together and go to the vicinity of the Wuyun Sect to inquire about the news first.

Through the Dafang Island teleportation array, the two spent three months to reach the territory of the Wuyun Sect.

In order to avoid being in the spotlight, they all used the breath-holding technique to maintain their cultivation at the foundation-building stage, preparing to find a foothold in Wuyun City.

Unfortunately, more than half a year has passed, and the two still have no clue, and have not thought of any way to sneak into the Wuyun Sect.

"Perhaps we can discuss with the Wuyun Sect's Nascent Soul cultivators to see if they are willing to agree to this request."

"The top of Wuyun Mountain is where the Wuyun Patriarch broke through the two-world barrier and ascended to heaven. Its status in Wuyun Sect is extraordinary. We can only think about this matter. Wuyun Sect's Nascent Soul will never agree to such a request. This idea must not be entertained. If the news is leaked, Wuyun Sect will definitely be on guard. It is better to find a way to sneak into the top of Wuyun Mountain and send Senior Ma into the crater."
