Fellow Taoist Ziyang is very righteous.
Looking at the spiritual object in the three-colored cave stone, Shen Lian silently missed Zi Yang.
Although some people were killed by him, they still live in his heart.
Three ancient scrolls flew out from the cave stone and landed in front of Shen Lian.
These three precious books all exude an ancient atmosphere.
The overall feeling Shen Lian got was that it was not something from today's era.
Among them, "Records of the Later Heaven's Lingbao Yanzhen" has a stronger ancient flavor. It is made up of indigo-colored bamboo slips, and the ropes strung up and down emit a dark black light.
The text inside is not the ancient text of the current era, but a font similar to misty cloud patterns.
This type of font has a restrained charm. As long as the cultivator has enough spiritual power, he can understand the content of the text.
Shen Lian picked up the "Record of the Later Heaven's Spiritual Treasure" and slowly opened it. Each bamboo slip was about an inch wide and less than a foot long. A dim light was visible, and the words were floating like clouds.
"Owner!"
He was suddenly awakened from the contents of the scroll by a soft cry in his ear, and saw Dahei squatting beside him, shaking his big pincers.
"call."
Shen Lian also reacted. His mind had been sucked in unconsciously. Then he closed the scroll again.
This thing is of little use to him.
Before killing Zi Yang, he had suspected whether Zi Yang was a pawn of a higher-level cultivator. Until now, this suspicion has not disappeared.
During the brief silence, Shen Lian finished reading the preface of Yanzhenlu.
The previous part mainly introduced the benefits of this method, which is that after becoming an artifact spirit, one does not have to go through the hardships of each realm and tribulation of a cultivator, and in the future one has a better chance of ascending to the immortal path than humans.
For the monks, becoming an immortal is an unattainable dream. If they can become an immortal, then they can choose any path. It can be said that the attraction is too great.
"Do you want to transform into a weapon spirit?"
At this moment, such an idea popped up in Shen Lian's mind.
Then he frowned.
wrong.
Why did he have such an impulse?
His eyes locked onto the scroll in his hand again, this secret practice technique affecting his mind.
Shen Lian casually took out a jade box, put the "Yanzhenlu" in it, and affixed a few sealing talismans.
He cast his eyes on the remaining two scrolls and opened the Tiandu Yanshen Fa first. The text inside was no longer the ethereal cloud text, but a kind of ancient text similar to the current era of immortal cultivation.
The entire Tiandu Yanshen method has a total of six levels, and can be practiced all the way to the Lianxu level.
As for the Five Elements Heavenly Treasure Scripture, it is also a method that can be practiced to the level of refining emptiness.
The third level is the golden elixir, the fourth level is the primordial infant, the fifth level is the spirit transformation, and the sixth level is the refining void.
In today’s world of immortal cultivation, the one who has reached the state of becoming a god is already the ancestor of the ancestors. As for refining emptiness, don’t even think about it, as that is a legend.
In a flash, Shen Lian wanted to switch to practicing the Five Elements Heavenly Treasure Sutra.
Fortunately, after a few breaths of calm, this thought was temporarily suppressed.
He carefully studied the first three levels of the Lingbao Tianjing and found that its mysteriousness and accompanying magic were not much stronger than the Wuqi Chaoyuan Gong he was currently practicing.
These three scrolls have existed for quite a while, but "Yanzhenlu" is obviously older and its material is somewhat different from the other two scrolls.
After some thought, Shen Lian decided not to practice the Five Elements Spiritual Treasure Scripture for the time being.
Firstly, the technique has not yet reached the point where it urgently needs to be changed. If one has truly reached the Great Perfection of the Golden Elixir and cannot find the subsequent technique of the Five Qis Converging to the Origin Technique, it will not be too late to change it.
Secondly, he still had doubts.
At this moment, Shen Lian thought of old monster Zi Yang again, hoping that he was not really someone's pawn.
If someone wanted to refine a five-colored stone magic weapon, and he happened to intercept it, both the weapon spirit and the magic weapon would be destroyed by him alone.
It makes me happy just thinking about it.
Will a giant red-haired hand reach out from the air and crush him to death?
Try to hold your ground first.
He placed the three scrolls in three jade boxes respectively, and then took out the talisman to seal them, put them into the storage bag, and put them into the storage ring.
"Fourth-level Kuishui Zhendan, Nanming Linghuo, Houtu Qianlingmu, Wanwen Qingkongmu, Liuli Jinshi, good stuff."
After an incense stick of time, Shen Lian reluctantly put down the several fourth-level spiritual objects in front of him. This really helped him a lot.
His next path of cultivation is to transform the Five Elements into Yin and Yang. Before forming an infant, he estimates that he can comprehend a trace of Yin and Yang power, and then condense the Yin and Yang Nascent Soul.
After being promoted to the Nascent Soul stage, these spiritual objects can be used to stabilize the Nascent Soul.
In addition to these spiritual objects, the spiritual objects that Old Monster Zi Yang mentioned before are also here.
Half of the Bu Tian Zhi was sealed in a jade box.
Three pieces of Zi Yang warm jade, one piece of Tian Lei fire stone, and one piece of star sky iron.
Nine pieces of Tianwu Fairy Tea, a green Bodhisattva Jade Fruit, a Qingming Liulisu, a Huangyun Shenwu Grass, a Purple Crystal Pearl Grass, and a Tianxin Zen Grass.
In addition, there is a pile of high-quality spirit stones with all five attributes.
Among them, there are 210 top-grade fire spirit stones, 158 earth spirit stones, 97 wood spirit stones, 86 gold spirit stones, and 133 water spirit stones.
Top-grade spirit stones are also rare items for Nascent Soul cultivators, and are mainly used to restore their own magic power.
In other words, Zi Yang only had half of his Nascent Soul left. If he had a physical body, this battle would be a bit more troublesome.
In the Five Elements Ship Cave, Shen Lian sorted out the spiritual objects he had obtained over the years one by one and placed them in different categories.
As long as they were of the third rank or above, he placed them separately in jade boxes and put a seal on the outside.
To this end, he specially used the third-level five-element ore to rub several five-element shelves with his hands to place these spiritual objects.
Speaking of which, his collection now is quite large. Previously, he had collections from more than forty Jindan cultivators, and now he has the collection from the Yuanying cultivator, old monster Ziyang.
Originally, he had nearly 24 million low-grade spirit stones, but when he bought and refined the ore, he spent more than 15 million in total.
As for other spiritual medicines and herbs, in addition to those that have been refined into pills, there are more than 140 third-level spiritual medicines left.
Now, before Shen Lian reaches the Nascent Soul stage, he is actually not short of spiritual medicines.
The main thing missing is the spiritual objects for body refining.
Looking at the empty cave, Shen Lian felt that it was time for him to transform the cave and cultivate the spiritual veins.
Moreover, after what happened to old monster Zi Yang, he felt that melting the cave heaven and the five elements ship together was a bit too unsafe.
This thing shouldn't be shown around in public.
The Five Elements Ship is his natal magic weapon. Although he has always relied on tricks to harm others, there is always a time when his natal magic weapon can be used.
If the cave is placed inside the Five Elements Ship, it will be vulnerable to impact when fighting with cultivators.
When the cave heaven was melted into the Five Elements Ship, the main purpose was to baptize it with the heavenly thunder.
Now it seems that this step was not well thought out.
Thinking of this, Shen Lian immediately decided to take the cave out of the Five Elements Ship.
It's really a mismatch for a Dongtian that is used for supporting logistics to be put together with the Five Elements Ship that is used for fighting.
After entering the cave, you can only stay in the Dantian Sea and never come out.
…
Inside the cave.
A ball of five-colored spiritual fire enveloped the Five Elements Ship. Because the old monster Zi Yang occupied the cave, the Five Elements Ship missed the moment when he was promoted to the middle stage of the Golden Core.
Shen Lian smelted the ore with the five elements attributes and integrated it into the five elements ship bit by bit.
“Buzz!”
As the Five Elements Spirit Fire roamed within the Five Elements Ship, the newly smelted ore essence was perfectly integrated into the Five Elements Ship, and the Five Elements Ship was subsequently upgraded to the third-grade intermediate grade.
However, Shen Lian did not stop. With his current strength, even if the Five Elements Warship was upgraded to the third-grade upper grade, he could still control it.
…
Three months later.
The Five Elements Ship was jumping in the five-colored spiritual fire, flashing with five-colored halos, illuminating the entire cave.
Buzz! The twenty-fifth spiritual restriction was condensed and imprinted into the interior of the Five Elements Ship.
This also means that the Five Elements Ship has advanced to the third-grade upper grade.
Shen Lian collected the Five Elements Spirit Fire. His current refiner level was still at the lower third level. He could use high-level ore to upgrade the Five Elements Warship to the upper third level, which was almost enough.
If you want to upgrade to the twenty-seventh level of spiritual restraint, you also need to improve your weapon refiner level.
However, the current number of spiritual bans is almost enough.
While refining the Five Elements Ship, Shen Lian also took the Cave Heaven out of the Five Elements Ship.
He had previously obtained some cave stone particles from Qian Dai's treasure pavilion, and now he had the three-color cave stone from old monster Zi Yang, so he planned to expand the cave again.
…
Another month passed, and colorful flames surged in the cave, and an irregular round bead was spinning in the flames.
After the integration of the cave stone, the area inside the cave exceeded a thousand feet, about seven miles long and wide, and the area reached about fifty miles in radius.
Shen Lian opened up a small lake with a radius of three miles inside, and also found time to pump water from several lakes in the wild mountains and wilderness.
In addition to the lakes, there were also several mountains piled up and several cave palaces built as storehouses.
By the way, the three little ones were thrown in, and they became the first batch of warehouse management beasts.
"Master, where will my descendants live?"
Dahei raised his head and looked at Shen Lian.
Dahei’s question is very important.
The role of black-horned ants has long been highlighted in the past. Previously, the space in the spirit beast bracelet was too small, and even if the black-horned ants were cultivated in advance, the number was not large.
Then, Shen Lian waved his hand and drew a ten-mile isolation zone at the edge of the cave, which would be used as a breeding base for black-horned ants.
A formation to isolate the atmosphere was also built above the breeding base. The black-horned ants can reproduce, but they cannot see the scenery inside the cave.
In addition, Shen Lian also planned to cultivate his own spiritual veins in the cave. He only needed ordinary black-horned ants, and among the demonized black-horned ants, only one Dahei would be enough.
Therefore, the aura of the spiritual vein must also be isolated at that time.
At this moment, Shen Lian suddenly thought of something, grabbed Dahei's black horn, and walked towards the fallen ant nest with it.
"Master, what are you doing?"
Dahei's doubt earned him two big slaps from Shen Lian.
Of course, he didn't really hit him, he was just trying to scare Dahei.
"Look at you. For all these years, apart from knowing about the sleeping queen black-horned ant, you haven't thought of a way to improve the communication with the ordinary black-horned ants, so that these guys can be more efficient in transmitting information."
Shen Lian grabbed Dahei's two big black horns and shook them hard.
"Master, I'll do it right away."
"Master is really smart. I didn't even think of it."
"That's right, the master's brain is big, and yours is just this small."
Er Wan flew in the air, stretched out a claw, and pinched out two fingers.
Erwu didn't have time to show off for long before he was pulled down by Shen Lian.
"I've eaten so many good things over the years, but I still haven't advanced to the level of a demon king."
"Master, I am still in the cub stage."
Shen Lian bared his teeth, "Anyone who doesn't advance to the third level won't be able to leave."
"Plu, plu."
In the lake, Sanqian spit out a bubble.
Looking at Sanqian with a silly look on his face in the lake, Shen Lian grabbed Dahei and threw him into the ant nest.
"Go do...work for me."
…
Cultivating the spiritual veins is an urgent matter. When Shen Ling checked the spiritual medicine sealed in the jade box, it had already shown signs of dimming.
The elixirs that are not used still need to be planted.
Cultivating spiritual veins is actually very simple. The first step is this, the second step is that, and the third step... it's done.
The most important one is to have spirit stones.
A spirit gathering array, five million low-grade spirit stones, and a vein source bead, that's it.
For a small cave with a radius of fifty miles, Shen Lian felt that five million low-grade spirit stones would be enough to start with.
The shape of the spiritual vein starts from the center of the cave and radiates out in all directions like a tree branch.
Looking at the cave sky filled with spirit stones, Shen Lian floated in the air and took out a colorful array plate. Rays of light shot out in all directions.
The sound of "bang bang bang" rang out everywhere in the cave, and a series of earth-yellow wedges pierced into the earth.
Suddenly, colorful spiritual light enveloped the cave, and the spiritual stones that had been spread on the surface of the cave were instantly annihilated into powder.
Rich spiritual energy suddenly exploded and filled the cave.
Five million low-grade spirit stones exploded, and the accumulated spiritual energy became extremely dense, forming a huge rolling wave.
Shen Lian mobilized the formation to trap the spiritual energy inside, allowing the surging spiritual energy to seep into the ground.
At the center of the spiritual energy, there is a pulse source bead embedded in the earth. A vortex of spiritual energy is formed and gathers near the pulse source bead.
It would take quite a while for the spiritual energy to settle down. After Shen Lian started the formation, he temporarily left the cave.
…
"Transforming into a spirit weapon is a good path to becoming an immortal."
After flying out of the cave, Shen Lian landed in the cave and casually expressed his feelings.
As soon as he said this, he was startled and took out the jade box that sealed the "Yanzhenlu" and examined it with wide eyes.
The seal is tight.
Breathing is normal.
How strange.
The jade box was opened, and the ancient indigo scroll lay quietly.
This thing is poisonous! Shen Lian has now determined the problem. If it was the first time he had this idea, he could say it was just a casual sigh, but this is the second time.
Not to mention, the scrolls had been sealed in the box by him.
These days, he had been busy refining magic weapons and rebuilding the cave, and had long forgotten about the scroll.
How come this idea suddenly popped up?
"what to do?"
After staring at the scroll and thinking for a moment, Shen Lian's first thought was to throw it away.
Anyway, he didn't want to become a spirit.
But then he hesitated.
Summoning Dahei to stand on his shoulder for warning, Shen Lian took the "Record of the Acquired Spiritual Treasure" in his hand and opened it again, reading the contents inside.
At this moment, he felt that it was time and he had the ability to arrange some things in advance.
We can no longer go with the flow and be chased by others like we did before.
He was serious about running away, but there was a big difference between running by yourself and being chased by others.
Just like this time, he had never expected to meet Old Monster Ziyang, the owner of the Five-Colored Stone.
"Five-colored stones, five-element magic tools..."
From this, we can infer that if there really is someone behind all of this, then this cultivator is most likely a cultivator with five spiritual roots.
Moreover, a cultivator with five spiritual roots who can do this is naturally very powerful and must be one of the top Nascent Soul and God Transformation cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation.
Sooner or later, he will cultivate to the Nascent Soul and Spiritual Transformation realms and will meet these people.
