“Buzz!”

The Nine Aperture Pill was emitting spiritual light, repeatedly refining its spiritual power, as if it did not understand Shen Lian's words.

The man and the pill were standing opposite each other from a distance.

"Congratulations to fellow Dan Daoist on advancing to the Golden Core stage. Shall we chat?"

After a moment, Shen Lian repeated what he had just said.

The Nine Aperture Pill made a humming sound and its spiritual light dissipated, then it flew towards Shen Lian and rubbed against him intimately like a little beast.

But this situation did not make Shen Lian feel any warmth at all.

He had a very clear idea of ​​a foundation-building pill that could be used for self-cultivation. It would be possible for him to catch a spiritual pet, but he did not have the ability to refine such a spiritual pill.

Shen Lian's magic power shook lightly, and the Nine Aperture Pill flew several feet away. He turned his body slightly and said lightly: "We will go our separate ways at the ends of the earth, and we owe nothing to each other."

“Buzz!”

The Nine Aperture Pill made a buzzing sound and the light of the pill flashed again.

"Why, you are so spiritual and yet you can't understand such simple words?"

Shen Lian's expression gradually turned cold, and he said solemnly: "Don't force me to do it."

The pill was spinning in the air, jumping up and down in a hurry, and making a constant buzzing sound, which sounded like a small animal crying.

Shen Lian stopped talking nonsense. His palm flashed with spiritual light and the void under his palm began to twist.

“Buzz!”

Sensing the terrifying aura, the Nine Aperture Pill dodged a hundred feet with a whoosh, the buzzing sound became more rapid, and it jumped high.

After a dozen or so breaths of confrontation, the rapid sound of the Jiuqiao Dan Wan slowly calmed down, and black halos emanated from the surface of the black pill, spreading like ripples.

"medicine."

"Um!"

Shen Lian frowned.

This medicine pill was actually negotiating conditions with him and wanted the remaining third-grade top-grade Dragon-Replenishing Yuan Pill in his hand.

This made him very happy.

Sure enough, this pill was not a good thing, and he wanted to blackmail him before leaving.

He had hidden all his Yuan-replenishing Pills, but they had all been sensed by him, so he couldn't keep them.

Shen Lian raised his hand again, and bits of spiritual light gathered in his palm, gradually condensing into a small sword about an inch in size.

“Buzz!”

Seeing this, the Jiuqiao Pill hummed and rolled in the air, and the sound turned into a whimpering one.

At the end, sensing that the sword's edge was becoming increasingly sharp, it pointed three times in the air at Shen Lian, as if a living being was saluting.

"That's all right."

Shen Lian waved his hands impatiently, "Go quickly, I don't need your reward. Just don't tell me if you get into trouble in the future... I won't be able to save you then."

“Buzz!”

The Nine Aperture Pill rolled in the air, jumped up and down and looked back several times, and then turned into a black light and rushed into the thick clouds.

…

Shen Lian narrowed his eyes and looked in the direction where the Foundation Establishment Pill disappeared. His face showed no joy or sadness, and his expression seemed as if he was in a trance.

After a long time.

Spiritual lights lit up in the mountains and fields in all directions. Puppets came out one after another, dragging the cornerstones of the formation according to the layout of the Nine Palaces and Thirty-Six Heavenly Gangs, and gathered in the hands of the deputy soul in the center who controlled the formation flag.

"You have no conscience."

Shen Lian smacked his lips. The intelligence of this Nine Aperture Foundation Building Pill was too high. It didn't seem like it was created on its own.

The secondary soul flew over and dropped a handful of image stones in his hand into Shen Lian's hand.

"A certain senior hopes you won't mess with me. I'm very good at holding grudges, otherwise I'll dig up my ancestors' graves for you."

Shen Lian checked the image in the image stone. There was only his back, but the appearance of the foundation-building pill, including the opening and closing of the nine orifices to absorb and exhale spiritual energy, was also included.

Being used as a pawn is nothing, since he is not strong enough. But if he is being schemed against endlessly, he will be a little unhappy.

How many spirit stones does a foundation-building pill of Daodan quality cost? Even if it is exchanged for a fourth-level spiritual object, there will probably be cultivators scrambling to exchange it.

Now he had to watch it fly away like this. Shen Lian's heart was bleeding, because these were all spirit stones.

However, he did not think of regretting it. A spiritual foundation-building pill might be related to the predecessor who invented the foundation-building pill in the legend. The cause and effect of such things are too great, so he should try to avoid them now.

For a moment before, he wanted to suddenly attack and smash the Nine-Aperture Foundation-Building Pill into ashes, but after weighing it over, he gave up.

"I still can't refine the elixir used to advance to a higher realm in the future. The cause and effect are too heavy."

“I thought you would never leave even if you were beaten to death, but I didn’t expect… Xiao Dandan will help you to have a bumpy future. It’s best to let a certain Nascent Soul or God Transformation cultivator refine it.”

Suppressing the random thoughts in his mind, Shen Lian's figure disappeared into the mountains in a flash.

…

Three thousand miles away.

A small town built by ordinary people stands on the mountain.

At this moment, a thick blood mist filled the sky above the small town, and the whole city was filled with bones, while smoke was still rising from many homes in the city.

“Puff!”

The sound of a clay pot falling and breaking was heard, and Shen Lian emerged from the ground. After sensing the surrounding area, he couldn't help but frown.

The resentment is so strong.

After he released the Nine-Aperture Foundation-Building Pill, he directly used the Earth Escape Technique to leave. However, he did not expect that when he passed under the city, he was interrupted by a strong bloody resentment.

The bloody smell was so strong that the entire city was in deathly silence, not even an ant was spared.

This should be what the Yunlan Sect and the Xueyang Sect called harvesting the essence of blood and flesh.

But this direction is not right. At present, Shen Lian has already left the territories of the Yunlan and Xueyang sects.

In a flash, his figure disappeared again.

…

Outside a small fairy city where ordinary people and monks live together, Shen Lian's figure slowly fell.

Originally, he wanted to escape far away from this chaotic sect area, but along the way he saw cultivators fighting everywhere, including cultivators from righteous sects, evil sects, and evil sects, with blood and smoke everywhere.

Such a vast territory is no longer something that the two small Jindan sects of Yunlan and Xueyang can shake.

He found that all the sects of both the righteous and evil forces were involved in the war wherever he passed.

The evil cultivators slaughtered all living beings, and the righteous cultivators went out to hunt down the evil cultivators.

If Shen Lian had not encountered the plan of Yunlan and Xueyang, he would not have thought there was nothing wrong, but now, these two families are not good people.

Looking at the bloody scene, he found a good opportunity for speculation.

He looked at the ruined city filled with blood and wondered about the feasibility of the plan.

The next moment, Shen Lian sneaked under a small hill near the city.

…

"Go ahead and take a look around."

He took Dahei out and gave him some instructions.

Then, Shen Lian’s thoughts sank into the cave of the warehouse, and he gathered together several spiritual objects in jade boxes.

The jade box contains fourth-level spiritual objects, including Kuishui Zhendan, Nanming Linghuo, Houtu Qianlingmu, Wanwen Qingkongmu, Liuli Jinshi, and a complete set of the Five Elements.

Here, I would like to thank the old monster Zi Yang.

Shen Lian originally planned to use these five-element spiritual objects to balance the five elements and condense the yin and yang forces after he advanced to the Nascent Soul stage.

However, he did not expect that after he reached the perfection of the Golden Elixir stage, the Yin and Yang forces would be generated in his body ahead of time.

In addition, he obtained a cathode ghost stone from Canglan Mountain, which made him subconsciously focus his search for spiritual objects on pure anode spiritual objects.

But the power of yin and yang can be co-produced by the five elements.

Although the five spiritual objects in front of him were at the fourth level, Shen Lian felt that with his current strength, he should be able to refine them initially.

This also solves the problem of resources for Yin and Yang power before advancing to the Nascent Soul stage.

Fortunately, I still have the Five Elements Heavenly Treasure Sutra left by the old monster Zi Yang, which can be used as a fallback.

"Dulingjing, ah Dulingjing, you really are..."

After retracting his spiritual thoughts, Shen Lian shook his head and smiled bitterly. The last step of his plan was to liberate the remaining soul, but something went wrong with the Soul-Saving Sutra.

The killing started again in this chaotic area of ​​the sect, and he keenly realized that it was an opportunity to show his respect to the world.

Others were killing people indiscriminately, but Master Shen was saving people.

To save the souls of the dead and bring peace to the world, do you think God will not take care of him when his Nascent Soul encounters the tribulation?

"Forget it. Fortunately, there is a cave of merit. I will store the remaining soul in the cave first and then find an opportunity to save it later."

After thinking about it, Shen Lian felt that it was not a big problem.

Just do it first and solve the subsequent problems later.

That was the plan he had in mind.

Of course, he wasn't going to do this himself.

Use a puppet and practice secretly in the dark.

With Shen Lian's current strength, controlling a fourth-order puppet should not be a problem.

So, the next question is to advance to the fourth-level puppeteer.

As for the materials for the fourth-order puppet, Shen Lian also has them.

Speaking of this, we have to mention the old demon Lianzhen. The jade box left behind contained the remains of his master, the old demon Meishan.

An old demon cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage.

…

[Shen Lian: Golden Elixir Full Stage]

[Physical Cultivation: Level 3 Perfection (Fake)]

[Divine Thought: 83,000 feet (553 miles)]

[Puppet: Third-level upper grade (4589/200000) cannot be broken through]

【Divine Enlightenment Points: 188】

【Insights: 244751】

As Shen Lian's eyes opened and closed, a gleam of light flashed in them. Ever since he ran out of Canglan Mountain, his perception points had been steadily rising.

Only the divine enlightenment points showed a slow growth.

He suppressed the thoughts in his mind, and with a thought, more than 190,000 points of perception disappeared in an instant.

“Buzz!”

In the sea of ​​divine consciousness, lines of information filled with text and images fell like waterfalls, surrounding the little divine man.

At this moment, Shen Lian's spiritual power has reached 80,000 feet, and its quality is not inferior to that of a Nascent Soul.

The scene that may be perceived is still the distortion in the sea of ​​​​divine consciousness and the inheritance information that appears out of thin air.

Densely packed text, introductions to cultivators of various races, and detailed puppet-making techniques.

The racial quality of the human race is not outstanding in the entire world of immortal cultivation. It does not have the physique of the demon race, the soul of the spirit race, or the hydrophilic talent of the sea race. Therefore, it is not very good to be used as puppet material.

But the comprehension of human cultivators is okay. In the early stages of cultivation, the focus is on spiritual roots. When they reach the Nascent Soul and God Transformation stages, their comprehension improves. After all, most of those who can cultivate to the Nascent Soul and God Transformation stages have high-quality or even heavenly spiritual roots.

Shen Lian immersed his mind and absorbed the inheritance of the advanced puppet bit by bit.

Sure enough, the fourth-level puppet inheritance is much more profound than before, and it also has specific refining techniques for each race.

"The giant spirits are strong and as big as mountains. They are natural puppet materials."

"The Bone-Transforming Clan takes a single bone from the body and transforms it into a puppet bone soldier, killing people invisibly."

…

"Spirit Puppet Attachment Technique."

…

Blood nourishing clan.

"Master, the envoy from Qianlian Sect is here."

In a side hall, a Jindan monk surrounded by demonic aura stepped into the hall door.

Xue Yang, who was regulating his breathing in the hall, had a pale face and was obviously seriously injured.

When he heard that the cultivators from Qianlian Sect had arrived, his expression changed.

"Let him wait in the main hall. I'll be there soon."

After letting the elders leave, Xue Yang felt around in his arms, took out a communication jade talisman and injected a stream of magic power into it.

But after the magic power was absorbed into the jade talisman, it was like a stone sinking into the sea, and there was no response for a long time.

Unwilling to give up, he injected another magical power into the jade talisman, but there was still no movement.

After three times in a row, there was finally movement in the jade talisman.

"Needless to say, the sect has already made a decision on this matter. You dared to open the harvest of flesh and blood essence without permission. If I didn't capture you and bring you back to the sect to be punished, I have already paid a heavy price."

A hoarse voice came from the jade talisman.

Hearing this, Xue Yang was still a little unwilling, "Elder, those are Yun Lan..."

"That's enough. Stop talking."

The hoarse voice was cold, "Your actions have been noticed by outsiders, and also known by Elder Mu of the Elder Hall. Do you think the photo beads you sent are still important?"

“Or do you and that brat from the Yunlan Sect think that I am a fool?”

The voice in the jade talisman paused for a few breaths, and the tone softened.

"I know you are filial and you are taking this opportunity to get some cultivation resources for me and yourself, but who would have let old ghost Mu know about it? The sect has its own rules, and we have to follow the rules when things come to light."

"It's just a small sect. If it's gone, it's gone. Old Ghost Mu is overbearing, but I will have no problem protecting your life."

"Thank you, Elder. I am willing to lead the way for you, even if it means death."

Xue Yang prostrated himself on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly. His backer said so many words, but it all came down to one sentence: he could not defeat Mu Laogui, who held great power in the sect.

After receiving the communication jade talisman, Xue Yang slowly stood up.

Compared to returning to Luosha Valley and being an ordinary Jindan cultivator, it is not as happy as being the sect leader here.

Unfortunately, I was unlucky this time. I thought I could get some resources for cultivating immortals, but I didn’t expect to lose all my capital.

He stood up and walked to the main hall, where the cultivators from Qianlian Sect were already waiting.

Although Qianlian Sect is the only Nascent Soul Sect in this area, Xue Yang never cared about it before.

They are all dogs from Luosha Valley, how can they bully him?

But there is no way this time, Qianlian Sect came on behalf of Luosha Valley.

The Jindan cultivator from Qianlian Sect did not have a good look on Xueyang either, and said indifferently: "The superior sect has ordered that in this great war between good and evil, your Xueyang Sect must be destroyed."

After saying this, the Qianlian Envoy stood up and left.

"Wait, where is the Yunlan Sect?"

"The same will be done."

The messenger flew away without even looking back.

“Heh… puff…”

Xue Yang laughed dryly, then moved his throat and spat out a mouthful of phlegm.

In the past, when they were harvesting the essence of flesh and blood, whenever a sect was destroyed, they would gather together and draw lots.

In Luosha Valley's eyes, all living beings, cultivators, mortals, monsters, and sects in this area are the essence of flesh and blood that they raise.

There's nothing he can do. It's just his bad luck this time.

It’s a pity for so many of his relatives, friends and disciples that he didn’t have the chance to reap the harvest himself.
