At sunrise, a practitioner came to the Spirit Page Island and handed a piece of cloud sand to Zhang Yan. He said that it was a reward from a Zhenren for saving hundreds of fellow disciples that day.
How dare he give me the cloud sand?
Zhang Yan observed secretly and found that the man's expression did not change at all. [bsp;
After returning to the cave, he thought about it for a while and felt that this matter was reasonable. However, the person who came did not say which Spiritual Master gave it to him. Either he really did not know, or he was taken care of and deliberately hid it.
If it was the latter, then it would be worth pondering.
He picked up the cloud sand and observed it carefully in his hand.
The shape of the cloud sand was like a big bead, round and translucent. There seemed to be clouds rolling in it, reminding people of the sea of clouds in the sky. It would be a rare treasure in the mortal world.
Zhang Yan rubbed it with his palms and found that the cloud sand was emitting a familiar aura. There was a strong suction coming from his palms and the Profound Qi in his body was stirring. It seemed that as long as he relaxed his consciousness, the gate would open and the Profound Qi would be pulled over.
Zhang Yan had read many Taoist books that described this object. From the records, this cloud sand was of superior quality.
The inferior cloud sand was gray in color and detested by Spiritual Qi. If one tried to refine it, it would not be useful. If it was of a higher grade, the cloud sand would give off light and Spiritual Qi would be easily attached to it. If it was of a higher grade, the cloud sand would be bright and close to Spiritual Qi. When refining it, there would be no obstacles.
The last one was the cloud sand in front of him. It was born to attract Spiritual Qi and could nourish the Profound Qi without any movement as if it came from the same source as the human body.
He smiled. No matter if it was a trick or not, he had the broken jade in his hand. What was there to be afraid of?
He sat on the cattail hassock and sank his mind into the broken jade. Then, according to the method of the Taiyi Golden Book, he let go of the restraint and let the Spiritual Qi flow into the cloud sand. Instantly, the Spiritual Qi in his body that was nourished by the Spiritual Qi was emptied.
He explored the jade for three days and three nights before he came out.
At this moment, his eyes were clear and there was a hint of understanding in his expression.
According to the Taiyi Golden Book, one had to condense two Seeds of Mysterious Light to practice this cultivation method. The first was the Fire Seed, and the second was the Metal Seed. Then, two Qi of Mysterious Light would be produced. When fighting against an enemy, the Metal and Fire Seed would intertwine and grind, and it would naturally be able to melt gold and melt iron.
Since the method of condensing the two profound lights was different, he initially thought that it was a transformation between the cultivation methods. Only now did he realize that it was actually referring to the cloud sand.
It made sense when he thought about it. The Cloud Sand was condensed from the essence of the Five Element Divine Sand, so it was naturally divided into the five elements. Moreover, the Cloud Sand in his hand just happened to be of the metal attribute.
When it evolved in the broken jade, when the primordial essence gathered on it, it was especially lively and nimble when it refined the metal-attribute magic art. However, when it refined the fire-attribute magic art, the effect was much worse.
Zhang Yan couldn't help but laugh. This Spiritual Master probably thought that he was practicing the Billowing Cloud Secret Manual, which was biased towards the water-attribute, so he took great pains to find this Metal Sand for himself.
If he really only practiced the Billowing Cloud Secret Manual and relied on this Cloud Sand to cultivate, even though it wouldn't affect the progress of his cultivation, but when he condensed the Mysterious Light, compared to others, he would inevitably be inferior.
But then again, if he really only practiced the low-low-grade Mist Phase, then it really didn't matter what the Cloud Sand's attribute was. To be able to condense a top-grade Cloud Sand into Mysterious Light was already a great fortune, what more could he ask for?
Even if he knew it was wrong, he would still have to accept it.
Unfortunately, the Spiritual Master didn't know that he was practicing the Taiyi Golden Book. This Cloud Sand instead helped him a lot, saved him a lot of effort, and inadvertently solved a doubt.
But in this way, he still needed to find another Fire Cloud Sand, which was a little difficult.
After pacing a few steps, he suddenly raised his head. Got it!
Wang Pan, who was killed by him, practiced the Fire Attribute Technique, and had just reached the third level of the Clear Qi Realm. The next step was to condense the Mysterious Light Seed, so he had no reason not to prepare.
Also, there were many Wang clansmen who practiced on the Red Cloud Island, so the clan definitely had Fire Cloud Sand!
He had the Red Cloud Pill Fire Scroll, so if he wanted to exchange with the Wang clan, they wouldn't refuse.
He could ask Xie Zongyuan to step in, and with him mediating, there was an eighty to ninety percent chance of success!
After thinking through this problem, Zhang Yan was in a good mood. He walked out of the cave and came to the side of a wide river on the island. Looking down, he saw a golden-scaled Demon Serpent rolling in the river, roaring repeatedly, and from time to time, it would create shocking waves. If it was in the middle of the sea, there would be huge waves rolling and rolling.
Zhang Yan raised his eyebrows. It was just a Golden Serpent that hadn't transformed yet, and it already had such shocking power. If it was a real dragon, how powerful would it be? It would probably be able to overturn rivers and seas.
Thinking about this, his heart skipped a beat. Su Yiang once said that there was a Dragon Residence under the Nine Tune Stream Palace, and there was the remains of a ten thousand year old Azure Dragon. Qu Chang, Golden Serpent, Azure Dragon, could there be a connection between these three?
It was a pity that Qu Chang had been killed by him, and his Origin Spirit had also scattered. Even if he could capture him alive, this demon was not in a clear state of mind. He didn't know the Soul Searching Technique, so he probably wouldn't be able to get anything out of him. After pondering for a moment, he took out a beautiful piece of jade from his sleeve and said, "Su Yiang, do you know what cultivation technique your brother cultivated?"
Su Yiang could only barely maintain his Divine Soul within the beautiful jade, but it was far weaker than before. He was clearly dispirited and listless. If he didn't find a body soon, he would probably dissipate in less than two or three years. So, he usually didn't move or speak if he didn't have to. He only did his best to maintain that trace of Origin Spirit.
Now that he heard Zhang Yan's question, he didn't dare to not answer and said weakly, "Reporting to Senior Brother, my brother's technique is very secretive. I don't know, but every time he circulates his qi, he will hide in the cellar. I heard from the servants that sometimes there will be roars and howls coming from there."
Eh?
After hearing this, Zhang Yan found a clue in his heart and was secretly shocked. This Su Yihong … could it be that he wanted to use his human body to cultivate a demonic technique?
He had read the "Golden Fruit of Vitality Book" from the Water Kingdom and naturally understood the theory behind it.
When a demonic cultivator reached the third level of the Clear Qi Realm, he could take a bone from the corpse of an ancient demon and implant it into his own body. He could sense the blood of the ancient demon in his veins and use it to nourish and refine it. After refining the bone, he could then melt away the old bones in his body one by one. This way, every time he advanced to the next level, he would have a new set of bones. In the end, he would be able to recreate the body of an ancient demon.
This method was worthy of being called a demonic cultivation method, as it had a savage aura to it. Furthermore, this method required the inheritance of the ancient demon's blood. It wasn't something that a human body or a normal demonic race could do. Hence, King Zhen wasn't afraid that Zhang Yan would learn it.
However, Zhang Yan had a feeling that Su Yihong might have a solution. If that was the case, once he obtained the remains of the Azure Dragon, he would have the body of an ancient Sky Demon. He would be indestructible and would not die. Who in the world would be able to stop him then?
Just as he was deep in thought, he saw a splash and the water splashed up, wetting a large patch of soil. It seemed like the golden Jiao dragon in the river felt that its place was too small, so it started to roll around impatiently.
Zhang Yan shifted his gaze and looked over. This golden Jiao dragon's appearance was definitely not without reason. It might even be the key. He took two steps to the shore of the lake and looked down, "Let me ask you, are you willing to recognize me as your master?"
When he spoke, he was looking down on it. Naturally, his tone carried a sense of authority.
However, the golden Jiao dragon didn't seem to buy it. It stayed in the water and stared at him without moving.
The two of them stared at each other for a long time. Even though the golden Jiao dragon's eyes were fierce, there was a hint of fear that Zhang Yan could not hide. That was because it was trapped in this place, and its life or death was in the hands of someone else.
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "Interesting. I know you weren't captured by me, and you were trapped because you encountered a disaster. That's why you're unwilling. Since you're unwilling, I won't force you."
He reached into his sleeve and took out a pure white porcelain bottle. He pulled out the stopper and poured out a medicinal pill. He flicked his finger into the water. "You've failed to transform, so this Transformation Pill is no longer of much use to you. However, it can help you get rid of your diaphragm bones and allow you to speak. In three days, I'll ask you again."
The golden Jiao dragon looked at the medicinal pill that was bobbing up and down in the water. After hesitating for a moment, it finally swallowed the medicinal pill. It then dove into the water to refine the medicinal power.
Zhang Yan stood there for a moment. Just as he was about to return to his cave, he heard a whistle from outside the island. It seemed like someone had come to visit.
A cloud appeared under his feet, and he slowly floated into the sky. He saw a cloud-shrouding flying ship floating in the air, and a cultivator in a Daoist robe standing on it. His cultivation level was similar to his, so he took out a talisman to open the seal and said, "What brings you here, Fellow Daoist?"
The man was expressionless, as if there was a thick layer of frost covering his face. He reached into his sleeve and took out a talisman. He said coldly, "My name is Zhuang Ze, and I'm a deacon of the Upright Purity Court. Today, I was ordered by Senior Brother Zhuang Bufan to clean up the sect. From today onwards, all disciples under him are not allowed to keep demons or concubines. From now on, all disciples will need a talisman or jade token to enter and exit the sect. Every island and mountain will be searched once a month.
Zhuang Bufan?
Zhang Yan narrowed his eyes. He had a deep impression of this person.
That day, he wanted to go to the Clear Nether Heavenly Lake to look for Yun Sha, but this person didn't say a word. With a flick of his sleeve, he brought him and his disciples back.
Later, he asked Xie Zongyuan and found out that this was one of the twelve divine arts of Ying Cang Sect. It was called the Great Overarching Heavenly Sleeve, and it was used to store treasures. It was said that when cultivated to the peak, one could store rivers, lakes, seas, and mountains. Ying Cang Sect's founder used this art to store nine famous mountains into the sect.
One hundred and sixty years ago, Zhuang Bufan was a direct disciple. Later on, he became Enlightened Zhu's disciple, and his cultivation level was unfathomable.
There were ten disciples in the sect, and four of them were master and disciple, and this person was one of them.
Sixteen years ago, he was sent out to suppress a small demon's cave. He only returned to the sect recently and accepted the Upright Purity Court's edict, becoming the Vice-Dean.
The Upright Purity Court's Sect Master's law forbade keeping demons and concubines. It was obvious that Zhuang Bufan wanted to establish his authority, so he used this matter to make a big deal out of it.
Seeing that Zhang Yan didn't answer, Zhuang Bufan snorted and said, "I'll give you three days. If you don't clean up the demon concubines on the island by then, I'll personally come and help you clean them up!" With that said, he cupped his fists and turned to leave.
When Zhang Yan heard this, a sharp glint flashed in his eyes, and he sneered, "Where did this thief come from? How dare he pretend to be the Upright Purity Court's Deacon? Stay with me. "With a flick of his sleeve, a blue sword ray shot out.
