Chapter 106 Preparing for Promotion
Most of it was cut off and given to Heiya, and a small half was left for Xiaoqing who was still sleeping.
Xiaoqing is a snake, so the Lilong Golden Pill should be the most beneficial to it.
As for Longma, he ignored him.
"Alright, you idiot, stop pretending. I'll give you thirty kilograms of tiger meat. If you can cultivate faster, I may consider giving you a golden elixir."
"Huff!" The little boar pounced directly to the place where the tiger meat was stored.
Longma lay on the ground obediently.
It was already the second night when I left the Immortal Palace.
Yue Niang had someone bring food over. She looked at Zhang Song with her beautiful eyes and asked uncertainly, "Brother Song, why do I sense a terrible aura coming from you? It's very dangerous, as if you were facing the thunder calamity that day."
Zhang Song smiled and activated his hidden talent.
“This time, we have gained a little.”
"Is he going to advance to the Golden Core stage?" Yue Niang was very smart and knew Zhang Song's current condition.
Zhang Song nodded.
Yue Niang immediately asked Yingchun to bring up two more dishes, and at the same time, she picked up the jar of wine and poured it for him, and said with great joy, "Congratulations, Brother Song."
After a while, Yingchun also came in with dishes.
"Congratulations, Master. Congratulations, Master."
"Okay, okay, just keep it to yourself and don't spread it."
……
Mu Jin sat cross-legged in a cave. She followed her perception and a mysterious breath in her soul guided her to this place. The Chaos Canyon was in a cave more than 1,300 miles east.
It is not surprising that various opportunities and treasures are now coming into the world, and even fall directly into the souls of the chosen ones.
It is either the attraction of blood relationship or the attraction of martial arts.
"This is?"
...
Zhang Song received a letter from Mu Jin, almost a year after they separated.
This was a casual cultivator who had the misfortune to meet Mu Jin who was cultivating, and was "invited" to deliver a letter to Zhang Song.
This was indeed Mu Jin's style. He gave the messenger ten spirit stones to help him deliver the reply to Mu Jin.
The casual cultivator hesitated to speak several times.
Zhang Song said confidently, "Don't worry, that person is just a little bit stubborn. I said in the letter that I won't make things difficult for you."
"Thank you, Master Zhang, thank you, Master Zhang."
Zhang Song sat on the chair and watched it over and over again.
Yue Niang said softly, "Miss Mu has sent a letter. What's the matter?"
Zhang Song smiled and realized that he had looked at it for a little too long.
"Mu Jin also got an opportunity, similar to you. You landed directly into the divine consciousness, while she received guidance and had to complete several tests."
Zhang Song tapped his fingers on the letter paper. Pansi Cave, a holy place for cultivating immortals.
This is the second time I heard the name Pansi Cave.
Below the letter was an entry-level cultivation technique that she had obtained.
There is no requirement for confidentiality, and anyone can practice it, but it is very easy to go astray and experience negative effects.
Seven Emotions
Use the seven emotions and six desires as your entry point, and then cut them off one by one, or take them to the extreme.
Zhang Song tapped his head, he seemed to have seen a similar connection before.
If it really is the Pansy Cave in my memory.
Those seven female fairies seemed to represent the seven emotions.
Mu Jin felt that this skill could be helpful to her, so she captured a messenger nearby.
Is this a preparation to build a foundation with emotion?
Zhang Song knew clearly that Mu Jin had a talent for seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune.
In terms of feelings, Mu Jin is definitely not as pure as Yue Niang. Mu Jin's starting point is everything for her own strength and realm.
……
Zhang Song asked his eldest disciple Mo Changjian to go to the Siling Pavilion in Zhenshan City to buy some things for him.
A pet ring was also lent to him for self-defense.
Mo Changjian was very serious, as this was the first task assigned to him by his master.
The journey from Shiniuzhai to Zhenshan City is not peaceful. It is not uncommon to see heretics, foreigners, and strange people.
Two days later, Mo Changjian came back with some scars on his body, but a confident smile on his face.
Zhang Song took the storage bag and put it aside, then asked, "Tell me, was it robbed or intercepted by a cultivator?"
He was very careful when going down the mountain and didn't notice anything unusual.
He met the shopkeeper Huang Shiqi and took out Zhang Song's letter and the items to be traded, and everything went smoothly.
But as soon as they left the city, they were ambushed.
There are three groups in total.
The group was careless and were followed as soon as they came out of the Four Spirits Pavilion.
He was the most seriously injured, but the other three were only casual cultivators in the late first stage.
Mo Changjian lacked combat experience, but had a solid foundation and killed his opponent.
The second wave was originally casual cultivators passing by. Seeing that he was seriously injured, they immediately attacked him.
But Mo Changjian was the Mo family's key disciple, and he had no shortage of life-saving items. He used the Blood-Burning Pill to kill his opponent.
Zhang Song nodded. Although he lacked combat experience and was stubborn in a head-on fight, he deserved praise for winning.
"The third wave, I, I feel it is people from the village, covering up the aura, two level two, three level one."
"If it weren't for the dragon horse that Master lent me, I would never have been able to come back."
Zhang Song was not surprised, nor did he think that it was directed at him. The Mo family had too many enemies, and many of the Mo family disciples who were outside had been assassinated during this period.
Mo Changjian also knew this, so he did not use Longma's power to kill people, but turned around and ran. If the other party was prepared and surrounded him, his life would be in danger.
After listening to this, Zhang Song nodded in praise. This guy was not that stupid after all, as he knew how to run away.
"Okay, the mission was accomplished well. I'll give you five points of contribution."
"Yes, then I will take my leave."
Zhang Song wondered whether he should learn from his teacher Yu Youzi and build a secret passage in his retreat to make it easier for him to go out.
He opened the storage bag and his eyes twitched.
Two level 2 Body Tempering Pills, 95% off, and 1,800 spirit stones.
The price of elixirs is very high. No normal cultivator would be willing to buy them, and no one can afford them.
How many second-level cultivators can take out three thousand spirit stones without blinking? Shangguan Lanruo, the owner of Huamanyuan, can only take out three jade disks at a time.
The second one is also a pill, the White Bone Pill, which also has the effect of tempering the body, but it is an evil pill.
The side effect is that it causes a lot of loss of flesh and blood. It is difficult to bear if you are not a true warrior.
One thousand two hundred spirit stones.
This is the elixir that Boss Huang believes is effective for Zhang Song at his current stage.
Body-tempering pills are very common, but Zhang Song's physique has reached the third level.
There is no way, the third-level elixir can only be reserved.
As soon as the Body Tempering Pill entered his mouth, he immediately felt as if someone was pinching him in the palm of their hand and twisting him back and forth, which made his body feel extremely uncomfortable.
This feeling only lasts for two or three minutes, and it's over after you've sweated a little.
After taking the second pill, the fever lasted for about two minutes, but this time I didn't even sweat.
Zhang Song felt the inside of his body and found that the effect of the tempering was average, which could only be said to be better than nothing.
Instead of feeling sorry for the spirit stones, it would be better to just practice on your own for a few days.
He took out the white bone pill and put it into his mouth without even looking at it.
Soon, a crackling sound came from inside the body, and every bone was making noises, as if being constantly squeezed.
Under the stimulation of the elixir, the flesh and blood seemed to have encountered a corrosive agent and were constantly melting and dissolving.
The White Bone Pill was originally intended for use against zombies, and few normal martial artists would have an option like him.
This effect is good!
An hour later, Zhang Song stood up, feeling extremely relaxed.
Went outside to have hot water arranged.
It needs to be tempered twice more, but the White Bone Pill won’t work because its efficacy is not very strong.
Zhang Song muttered to himself, knowing that he must get the third-level body-tempering elixir.
...
"Master, Patriarch Mo wants to see you and has been waiting in the living room for a while."
Zhang Song nodded, tidied up a bit, and then came to the reception room.
"Meet Brother Zhang."
"Clan leader, please sit down."
Zhang Song sat aside and his disciples immediately brought him boiling hot tea.
I know that my master likes strong liquor and hot tea.
"I'm sorry to bother Brother Zhang with his practice, but the situation on the mountain is not good right now, so I had to come."
Mo Shi was not afraid of losing face. He put himself in the position of a junior and cried poor when meeting people.
Zhang Song hesitated and asked, "Because of the Hunyuan Sect?"
Mo Shi nodded, "Part of it, Elder Bai and his men suffered heavy losses this time, and they want another 10,000 people from the village to support them."
When it came to external affairs, Shiniuzhai was very united. Feeling that they could win, they immediately organized all the subordinate villages to contribute manpower, and within a few days they were able to organize a brave team of tens of thousands of people.
A large part of Shiniuzhai’s resources came from the looting of Zhenshan City during the Spring and Autumn Period.
"The situation has been bad in recent years. There are too many Level 3 experts in Dianzhou. The old fox Zhenshan Hou only talks but does nothing. He grabs when he sees something good and retreats when he encounters difficulties."
Mo Shi looked down on Zhenshan Hou's behavior, which really didn't seem like something a marquis would do.
Zhang Song actually quite agrees with the Marquis of Zhenshan.
He was originally a marquis of a city, but was coerced by the Hunyuan Sect to join the rebel army. Now he has become the main force. This is nonsense.
If he were the Marquis of Zhenshan, he would also sit on the mountain and watch the fight between the two tigers, constantly draining the power of both sides and seizing the opportunity to improve his own strength.
"You don't want me to lead the team, do you?" Zhang Song suddenly reacted.
Mo Shi nodded with a wry smile.
The team consists of over 10,000 people, and although they are all warriors of primary level, he is worried about handing them over to other people.
Moreover, the person in charge must be able to control the other village chiefs, team leaders, clan elders, etc.
Zhang Song immediately shook his head and refused to go.
He knew some information that his name was also included in the top ten of the bounty list in Dianzhou Prefecture.
If I go there, the remaining monk in Wenshu Temple will probably turn his attention to me.
Zhang Song knows his own limitations and knows that he can be his own boss, but definitely not a manager.
Mo Shi pondered for a moment and said, "We have received news from the Ghost Cave that there have been wolves and beasts harassing the Demon Realm for some time. All villages and villages have suffered losses. As the head village, we must also send people."
"Brother Song, Elder Luan must stay in the village. After much thought, I think you are the only one who can lead people there."
Zhang Song felt a little regretful and decided to go to the battlefield in Dianzhou.
I communicated with the prayer flag, but there was no response. It might be that the specific direction of the incident has not been decided yet, or it might have nothing to do with me.
"Okay, then I'll take you for a walk."
Mo Shi breathed a sigh of relief. Although Zhang Song's surname was not Mo, he was a member of the Mo family. His status in the clan was probably not lower than his as the clan leader.
"Then I'll have the hunting team arrange thirty people to follow you."
"Need not."
Mo Shi thought for a moment and said, "Then let Liao Tong follow you."
Zhang Song nodded. He knew about Liao Tong's situation and didn't want to say more.
The next day, Liao Tong came.
He is two meters thirty-four in height, with a sturdy build, and looks like the most powerful warrior.
But his eyes turned completely red, a huge curved horn grew between his eyebrows, and there were some faint black animal patterns on his neck.
He tilted his head and looked at Zhang Song, and said seriously after a while: "The village chief asked me to follow you and protect you."
"Thanks for your hard work."
Zhang Song said something polite, and Liao Tong stood quietly at the door.
The second disciple, Liao Yuanji, hurried out to pay his respects to the elders of his family.
Liao Tong nodded, his expression softened, and said, "Okay."
Liao Yuanji admired the elder of the Liao family very much. When he was young, he was not taken seriously, so he joined the patrol team. It took him more than 20 years to reach the late level one and join the hunting team.
Because of his lack of talent, he was not taken seriously by his family and was seriously injured and nearly died during a mission.
At that time, the captain was a second-level insect cultivator from the Bai family. In order to save him, he asked him to switch to insect cultivation and integrate the poisonous insect into his body.
But it also hurt my brain, and I was confused, but I still practiced hard.
It must be mentioned that his talent is average, he has no resources, and he is only in the late stage of level two now. He is not an insect cultivator, and he is not a martial artist.
In a word, he is a fool, simple-minded, and does whatever he is told.
Now even his body has begun to show obvious signs of abnormality. In a few years, he will have to be sent to the ancestral temple.
This is also why Liao Yuanji hesitated to speak, as he could not bear to see the fate of this clan elder.
"let's go."
"it is good."
Zhang Song wore leather armor inside and a dark grey robe outside. He had a washed cowhide belt around his waist and a jade pendant in the shape of a small sword.
The hair is tied back, clean and refreshing.
Yue Niang listens to Brother Song in everything, but when it comes to clothing and dressing, Zhang Song has no say at all. Several sets of clothes are made by Yue Niang herself.
The style is exquisite and it fits comfortably. This is what she likes, so I just let her do it.
The two men walked casually and passed by some villages. Life was difficult and there were people who believed in foreign evil gods, but it was much better than the current Dali Dynasty.
More and more people fled to the outside of the Great Wall, preferring to die on the road or in the mouths of animals in order to retain a glimmer of hope of survival.
"Brother Zhang Song."
After receiving the report from the patrol team, Gao Lie personally led his men to meet the enemy thirty miles away.
Liao Tong stood behind Zhang Song stupidly, with a gloomy look in his eyes.
Zhang Song smacked his lips and couldn't help but say, "Brother, you're already injured like this, don't come out."
Gao Lie's body was wrapped in several layers of cloth, and his neck was fixed with high-quality cowhide, so his head could hardly move.
"Oh, don't even mention it. I encountered five level three wolf beasts and I couldn't even run away from them."
Gao Lie has been getting more unlucky every year in the past three years. He used to be full of confidence and was even preparing to advance to the third level.
But now, he doesn’t even dare to go out of the village gate, for fear that a rock will suddenly fall from the sky and crush him to death.
Zhang Song said sternly, "Brother Gao is also blessed. If it were anyone else, they would not have survived any of these times. Only a cultivator like you who is blessed with great fortune and amazing luck can escape danger time and time again."
Gao Lie thought about it and smiled happily: "Brother, you are right. It's just me. If it were anyone else, not even a bone would be left."
Gao Lie originally thought that he was a jinx and was afraid to go out for fear of bringing disaster to the village. Now he understands that he is a person of great fortune and merit.
Monta came up and saluted: "Greetings, Brother Zhang Song."
"Good stuff, almost reaching the late stage of level 2."
Monta was not tall. He grinned and said, "In recent years, the village has not lacked blood food. Some time ago, we even got a late-level second-level mountain goat. Everyone has made progress."
In the wilderness, the one with the bigger fist is the truth, and everyone respects those with strong strength.
Zhang Song has a casual personality, great strength, and is not pushy. He gives serious guidance to those who ask for advice, and everyone benefits, so they naturally treat him as an honored guest.
Many children knew that it was the little Taoist priest who came, so they rode on the trees or followed behind, making noises and looking very amazed. Their little expressions looked as if they had seen a mighty ferocious beast.
The only Jindan elder in the village personally received Zhang Song and chatted with him for a while before leaving.
Then Ji Li prepared a bonfire dinner, and the whole village was like celebrating the New Year.
Those who are brave enough to climb the mountain of swords and step into the sea of fire show their strength.
Some girls sang folk songs and danced the tea-picking dance barefoot to show their beauty.
Zhang Song smiled and quietly asked Gao Lie, "Brother, if you have something to say, just tell me. I feel uneasy because of what you did."
"Let me make it clear first, your brother and I are married now, and we don't follow the ways of the Great Li Dynasty."
Gao Lie laughed out loud and raised his bowl to clink it with Zhang Song.
