Fortunately, in order to compensate the Foundation Establishment cultivators who came back from South China Sea, the Zhengyang Sect exempted the Foundation Establishment cultivators from the necessary tasks every year for the next five years, allowing the thirty or so Foundation Establishment disciples like Zhang Shiping to practice with peace of mind.

As for those qi refining disciples, the sect will reward them based on the merit points of the alliance as appropriate. As for the disciples who died in battle, the sect will hand over pensions to their blood relatives. Of course, if the storage bags can be recovered, they will also be given. It's just that most of the dead monks who went hunting in the sea were buried in the mouths of sea beasts, and it was basically difficult to retrieve the storage bags.

Zhang Shiping took out an ownerless storage bag from the belly of the sea beast, but because the acid in the belly of the sea beast was too strong, the storage bag Zhang Shiping took out was broken, and there were dozens of pouches left in the belly of the sea beast that hadn't had time to absorb it. Spiritual stones, as for the magical artifacts, jade boxes, and bottles in the storage bags, ordinary sea beasts cannot digest them, so they can only spit them out, and they are deposited in the deep sea, covered by sea mud.

…

…

In the cave on the hillside of Kunshan Mountain, Zhang Shiping drove the ancient Qingling boat down, and the flashing aura of the zhang-long ancient Qingling boat gradually became smaller, and fell into Zhang Shiping's hands, toward his waist, and entered his storage room. in the bag.

Then he stepped on the steps, the top was very clean, only one or two bluish-yellow leaves, and the wooden sign to go out beside the cave, the self on it had already been blurred. Zhang Shiping stretched out his hand and pressed on the stone door, the stone door of the cave burst open, but the inside was not as dusty as he had imagined. It was very clean from the stone path of the cave to the hall, even at the Lingquan, a few red plants The lotus is in full bloom, and the colorful carp walks underwater.

Seeing this, Zhang Shiping frowned, and his face became a little ugly. He immediately unfolded his spiritual consciousness, centered on himself, comparable to the spiritual consciousness of the late foundation establishment period, and it burst forth. Among the dozen or so stone chambers, five people in the innermost five are meditating.

When he first noticed it, Zhang Shiping felt a surge of anger in his chest, but when he realized that these five people were the five stewards under him, he put away his anger, and only touched it lightly with his spiritual sense. He picked up the five people who were meditating and called them out.

When Zhang Shiping left, he didn't arrange a formation, and he also had the idea of ​​letting them practice in this second-tier cave, but he couldn't explain it clearly. Just now he thought that the cave was occupied by another monk he didn't know well, so he got angry, but it was just five of them, so forget it.

But since Zhang Shiping has returned to the cave, there is absolutely no reason for them to practice here. Sitting on a stone chair, Zhang Shiping took out some mung bean bait from the storage bag, and sprinkled it lightly in the spiritual spring at hand. As soon as the bait fell, the smell immediately dissipated, causing carp to compete for food.

After the five stewards felt Zhang Shiping's spiritual consciousness, they didn't care whether the exercises had been running for the whole week, so they hurriedly forcibly closed their exercises, and ran out in a hurry to see Zhang Shiping who was feeding carp by the Lingquan.

The five people all had a bit of embarrassment and a bit of panic on their faces. It is a big taboo in the world of cultivating immortals to occupy other people's caves for cultivation. If they are not familiar with each other, ninety-nine out of ten will fight to the death.

"You two go out first." Zhang Shiping said slowly, and waved Lin and Zhuang out, leaving behind the three elders of the Zhang family to learn about what happened in the family this year.

The three old stewards took turns to go back to the Zhang family, and they often chatted with each other about some family matters when they were free. Therefore, they knew something about the things that had happened in the Zhang family over the years. It was enough for Zhang Shiping.

It's just a pity that the Zhang family still hasn't added any new foundation-building monks in the past five years. It has been more than ten years since Zhang Tong'an established the foundation, and the Zhang family is still standing still.

However, the situation of the Chen family next door to the Zhang family was even worse. The elder of the Chen family was only slightly younger than Zhang Qiyue, but because he practiced "Eternal Spring Kungfu", he didn't look too old at first glance. Thinking that he would not die so early in the past ten years or so, the three old stewards of the Zhang family sighed when they spoke.

Zhang Shiping specifically asked about his mother's situation. She was seventy years old in one year, but she was still in good health. After asking, Zhang Shiping asked them all to go out as well, and he took out the array equipment of the Five Elements Absolute God Array. According to the previous method, after Zhang Shiping yelled "Go", the array flags in his hand went out one by one. Immerse in the stone wall or underground of the cave, and take out the array disk from time to time for hooking.

Half an hour later, Zhang Shiping finished arranging the formation, and put the phantom locust in the animal control bag into the insect room, and after throwing in dozens of feeding pills, Zhang Shiping returned to the quiet room. The long bronze arrows of the bow were painted with phantom locust eggs on the arrows. The original Qibaoqing fire fan in his hand is really not suitable for this method, and Luo Junjian's grade is too low, even if the entire long sword is painted on, it will have little effect.

After finishing these things, Zhang Shiping lit the bronze lamp, but instead of meditating directly to refine Qi, he took out the "Changing Yuan Gong" and read the Foundation Building Chapter from the Qi Refining Chapter~lightnovelpub.net~ After all, he hasn't practiced this for a long time The door skills. When I was in the alchemy courtyard of the alliance, without the help of the bronze lamp, and without the spiritual objects or elixir to heal the soul, practicing the "Changing Yuan Gong" was tantamount to self-mutilation.

The monthly alchemy tasks followed closely, and Zhang Shiping couldn't even accumulate mana normally, let alone cultivate this spiritual consciousness technique. After such a long time without a fruitful practice, Zhang Shiping naturally had to study the formulas of the following exercises carefully again, and clear them up from the beginning to the end. It is related to his own cultivation path, so he can't be rash.

Moreover, after Zhang Shiping returned to the cave this time, he made up his mind to take advantage of the five years when he didn't have to accept any sect missions, to practice with all his strength, and break through to the fifth floor of foundation building as soon as possible.

After a stick of incense, he withdrew his consciousness from the jade slip of "Exchanging Yuan Gong", and then took out the "Fire Crow Jue" to look at it. In matters of cultivation, many times, when a monk recalls his previous practice, he will With different feelings, after another tea time, Zhang Shiping put down the jade slip in his hand.

After calming down, he took out hundreds of fiery red spirit stones, put them in the spirit gathering array, and took out a bottle of elixir, from which there were round, glowing red elixir, Zhang Shiping looked at the palm of his hand Swallowing this burning flaming pill, feeling its temperature like boiling water, without hesitation, swallowed it in one gulp, and then quickly sat cross-legged on the futon.

The melting fire elixir entered his stomach, the power of the medicine rose like a raging fire, Zhang Shiping glowed brightly, and his whole body was filled with white air, he gritted his teeth and started the "Fire Crow Art", refining the power of the medicine bit by bit.
