Chapter 971: Not Enough Opportunity

Killing Tang Wangcheng eliminated a hidden danger for the Ziyang Sect.

This ghost cultivator had a blood feud with the Ziyang Sect. He led his ghost army to attack Tianyuan Island every once in a while. Within a hundred years, he made waves twice, fighting against the Ziyang Sect monks, hoping to break through the blockade of the Netherworld Cave and enter the human world to devour him. The Yuanying cultivator advanced to the Yuanshen ghost cultivator.

If masters such as Zhang Zhixuan and Qing Chan are not available, Tao Hongji alone may not be able to hold on. Maybe before the reinforcements arrive, the Tianyuan Island monks will be wiped out.

Moreover, being able to kill a powerful opponent in advance will also be beneficial to Zhang Zhixuan and Qing Chan in refining their souls to survive external calamities.

If you are attacked by various enemies at the critical moment of breakthrough, you may be overpowered and killed by the enemy.

For example, Ma Chunsheng, the former master of Chunyang, was blocked by others when he was trying to become a soul, and he eventually perished due to external calamity.

Therefore, before cultivating the soul, monks usually resolve causes and effects and resolve grievances.

Especially some powerful casual cultivators pay more attention to this step.

After killing Tang Wangcheng and defeating the army of ghost cultivators, he not only captured three Heavenly Soul Crystals, but also obtained a sixth-level soul-nurturing tree.

This treasure was carried by Tang Wangcheng, and it is not known where the ghost monk got another sixth-level soul-nurturing tree.

Anyway, this person died at the hands of Lingjun, and the sixth-level soul-nurturing tree also fell into the Ziyang Sect's treasury.

It seems that Tang Wangcheng, his wife, and Liu Lingjun have different fates, and Liu Lingjun is the couple's nemesis and misfortune.

If it weren't for Liu Lingjun's participation, Patriarch Mo alone would not be a match for the ghost cultivators of Tianyuan Island.

In several battles with ghost cultivators, Liu Lingjun actually played a decisive role. Both ghost ghosts Li Yulin and Tang Wangcheng died at her hands.

I don’t know if this is a coincidence or just the number of days.

Occupying a key position like the Netherworld Cave, not only can he refine a large number of puppet beasts, but he can also cultivate the Dharma Body Nascent Soul from time to time and add Nascent Soul masters to the sect.

In just six hundred years, relying on this precious land, the Ziyang Sect cultivated two Dharmakaya Nascent Souls, Chen Yunfeng and Tao Hongji, which greatly consolidated the foundation of the sect.

The importance of this island to Ziyang Sect is second only to Lingjing Mountain. It seems that the Tianyuan Island formation level needs to be upgraded as soon as possible and more manpower will be deployed.

After killing Tang Wangcheng, Zhang Zhixuan and others returned to Lingjing Mountain and temporarily left Han Yan on Tianyuan Island to help Tao Hongji stabilize people's hearts and strengthen defense.

The Ziyang Sect suffered more than 200 casualties in this battle, and post-war pensions would also cost a large sum of money.

Just the Foundation Establishment Pill requires more than 200 pills. To open the Zi Mansion, more than a dozen spiritual objects need to be given. Some pill-forming spiritual objects also need to be provided.

The expenditure of such a huge amount of spiritual items in a short period of time emptied the sect's treasury, causing various levels of breakthrough spiritual items to be unable to make ends meet, and the queuing time of monks in the sect was delayed.

However, spiritual objects below level five can be purchased with spirit stones.

The Ziyang Sect now controls two large spirit stone mines and dozens of small spirit stone mines. As long as the problem can be solved with spirit stones, it is not too difficult for the sect.

Moreover, there are now a large number of mature chalcedony golden branches in the Zongmen Spiritual Medicine Garden. In order to reduce the shortage of foundation-building pills, Zhang Zhixuan, a sixth-level mid-level alchemist, personally took action and opened the furnace eight times in a year to refine it. Seventy-six Foundation Building Pills filled one-third of the gap in the sect's treasury.

Generally speaking, top monks like Zhang Zhixuan would not waste time refining elixirs below the sixth level.

If he hadn't been injured, which affected his cultivation progress and caused him to do nothing during this period, he wouldn't have been able to take action.

For monks with a bright future like them, time is far more precious than spiritual stones and good deeds.

Zhang Zhixuan has accumulated tens of millions of good deeds in Ziyang Sect, and the spiritual stones and good deeds are no longer of much use to him.

Moreover, Ziyang Sect has enough fourth- and fifth-level alchemists to help him undertake such a task.

Compared to the sect's expenditure, the results of this battle were undoubtedly extremely rich, with only four sixth-level spiritual objects obtained. Three Heavenly Soul Crystals and one Soul-nurturing Tree.

Especially the sixth-level soul-nurturing wood can no longer be measured by spiritual stones.

To a certain extent, the value of this item is even higher than that of Pei Ying Dan.

The Ziyang Sect has treasures such as Purple Heart Jade Lotus and Ziyang Palace Lantern to avoid disasters, which are combined with the sixth-level soul-nourishing wood. As long as this monk is not a helpless Adou, he will definitely be able to refine the Dharmakaya Nascent Soul, and his identity will be turned upside down from now on.

Hearing that the sect had harvested a soul-nurturing tree from this battle, Lin Shaoyou's face was filled with sadness. He shamelessly borrowed a lot of good deeds from his master Xia Youqing and his uncle Chen Yunfeng, and finally collected six million in good deeds and exchanged them for the Baby Training Pills. However, he failed to make a breakthrough because he didn't have enough accumulation, and he still owed money that he would never be able to repay in his lifetime. debt.

Lin Shaoyou's longevity has exceeded 800, so naturally he will not have much time left if he fails to break through to the Nascent Soul. He had no children, and none of his early Taoist companions or disciples could refine the golden elixir and left before him. In his later years, Zhou Fuhu, the heir to the mantle, also spent all his good deeds and incurred debts in order to help him exchange the baby-making spiritual objects.

Towards the end of his life, Lin Shaoyou became extremely lonely.

In recent years, Lin Shaoyou had become disheartened and had moved to Yushan Mountain, to the place where he practiced Taoism in his early years. He explained Taoist problems to the Qi-training and foundation-building monks and relieved their worries.

Hearing that there was a soul-nurturing tree in the sect's treasury, Lin Shaoyou sighed sadly. Even if he felt extremely unwilling, it was of no use at this time. He had already redeemed the Infant Training Pill, so it was naturally impossible to win over this sixth-level soul-nurturing tree.

Nine times out of ten things in the world are not as expected. Normally, it would be more beneficial to the development of the Ziyang Sect if Zhang Yunlan refined the Infant Training Pill and Lin Shaoyou used the Soul-Nursing Wood.

It's a pity that Lin Shaoyou is not good at the innate Yi technique and could not foresee the way out.

He tried his best to obtain the Infant Training Pill, but within a few years the sect obtained the Soul-Nursing Wood.

Lin Shaoyou Shouyuan is already 800 years old. The probability of refining the Infant Training Pill to create a baby is already very low. In fact, it is not good for the development of Ziyang Sect.

Although he won the Yingying spiritual object, it left a bad impression in the eyes of the neutral Nascent Soul Ancestor.

For example, Tao Hongji, Li Yunxiu, and Tang Yinsheng all voted against it at the presbytery meeting.

This time, they will not support handing over the sixth-level soul-nurturing wood to Lin Shaoyou.

It is impossible for all the resources of the sect to be concentrated on one person.

Even if Tang Yisheng is the direct descendant of the head, and Han Yan is a relative of the head, it is impossible to consume the sect's infant spiritual items without limit.

They were all by chance, and they were also the most suitable people at that time to refine the infant-forming spiritual objects.

If people like Tang Fenglan and Lu Hongniang had not given up their lives, I am afraid that Xia Youqing, Han Yan, and Tang Yi would all have babies later.

At this time, even Lin Shaoyou's teacher Xia Youqing might not speak up for him.

Golden elixir and Nascent Soul are almost worlds apart.

Once the Nascent Soul is refined, one's lifespan will be tripled, and magical powers will far exceed those of a Golden Elixir cultivator.

In the sect, his status in the world of immortality has also been completely changed than before.

Seeing that the opportunity to conceive a baby had been missed, Lin Shaoyou was filled with sadness. A stream of blood mist suddenly spurted out of his mouth after his true energy was reversed, and he fell to the ground involuntarily. He whispered to himself: "After all, it was an accident of chance. Not enough! Not enough opportunities!”

His disciple Zhou Fuhu knew that his master's time was short and had been waiting by his side. Seeing Lin Shaoyou fall to the ground, he hurriedly took a step forward, only to find that Lin Shaoyou had closed his eyes and his breath had become very weak, as if he had been exhausted all at once. regained vitality.
