Chapter 73 Yaoguang Killing Intent

The vast earth is barren for thousands of miles, with flying sand and rocks, and a desolate and silent scene.

But beneath this barren land, there are countless source minerals condensed from the essence of life.

Since the ancient times, the continuous excavation for hundreds of thousands of years has not exhausted the resources under the earth. It has to be said that this is a miracle.

A group of people were walking on the desolate Gobi Desert, looking at the environment without any beautiful scenery at all, but no one felt bored.

Instead, he looked left and right with great interest, as if there were endless scenery to see.

Sometimes, heated arguments would break out among the crowd over the direction of a mountain range and whether there were source veins at the foot of the mountain.

No one expressed any regrets like “Why is this place so desolate? There’s not even a ghost here.”

There are almost no independent cultivators among the people organized by the Holy Son Yaoguang. All of them are disciples from major forces. Their understanding of the periphery of the ancient forbidden area is much deeper than that of independent cultivators.

However, following the Holy Son Yaoguang deep into the outskirts of the Taichu Ancient Mine still made some of them feel inexplicably excited.

It seemed that with the Holy Son Yaoguang paving the way for them, they would be able to dig up the peerless divine source near the Taichu Ancient Mine.

Along the way, everyone was analyzing where the divine source was most likely to appear.

Even Li Zhi, who followed the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi, was no exception and joined the discussion.

Seeing Li Zhi dressed as a Taoist priest, a disciple from the Five Elements Palace asked him, "Little Taoist priest, you are a Taoist master and must be proficient in Feng Shui secrets. Can you give us some pointers?"

The disciples of Huanmie Palace and Wanjie Sect in the team also turned their attention to Li Zhi.

Along the way, he was sandwiched between two peerless beauties, Saint Maiden Yao Chi and Saint Maiden Yao Guang, and they joked with him from time to time. They also wanted to know what was so magical about this little Taoist priest who looked only six years old to win the favor of the two unattainable saints.

Since leaving Yuan City, everyone has been walking in the desolate Gobi Desert for seven or eight days. Apart from the limited communication they had with the Holy Son Yaoguang.

He hardly spoke a word to the Saintess of Yao Chi and the Saintess of Yao Guang.

However, Li Zhi was able to enjoy the "chatting" service of the two fairies, which made them extremely jealous.

It was because Li Zhi was so young that they did not lose their minds, otherwise someone would have stood up to challenge Li Zhi long ago.

They were extremely cautious in front of the two saints, fearing that they might say something wrong and disgust them. But Li Zhi, on the other hand, seemed not to care much about the two saints. The two saints took the initiative to find topics to talk to him along the way.

Many people even secretly despised Li Zhi, thinking: "How come this little brat doesn't understand romance? The two saints are so proactive, but you keep rejecting them. You are such a little brat who knows nothing. If you don't want to, let me do it instead."

Finally, when they were a thousand miles away from the Taichu Ancient Mine and everyone stopped for the final rest, the disciple from the Five Elements Palace stepped forward to "measure" Li Zhi's abilities on behalf of everyone.

However, the attitude of the disciple from the Five Elements Palace was very good and he praised Li Zhi very highly.

However, if Li Zhi did not demonstrate his ability to convince them at this time, this flattery would probably become a form of flattery.

Hearing the words of the Five Elements Palace disciples, Saint Yaoguang, who was eager to watch the fun, smiled and said, "Little brother Changshou, show us your skills. Let them see how powerful you are."

Yao Xi's voice was sweet and brilliant, and it seemed to express everyone's thoughts, making everyone feel warm in their hearts.

The Holy Son Yaoguang and the Holy Maiden Yaochi also focused their attention on Li Zhi.

Especially the Holy Maiden of Yao Chi, she really wanted to know what Li Zhi’s inheritance was and who the headmaster he mentioned was.

From the strength shown by Li Zhi, it can be seen that the ancient scriptures he practiced are extraordinary.

Faced with the instigation of Saint Yaoguang and the scorching gazes of disciples from other major sects, Li Zhi knew that if he gave in now, someone might secretly attack him during the rest of his journey.

Seeing this, Li Zhi took out a whisk and gently swept the air in front of his chest, then he made a seal with his hands and said, "Wulian Tianzun, I will show you my humble service."

Afterwards, Li Zhi flew up, sat cross-legged in the air, and chanted scriptures. Godly powers appeared around him.

At the same time, there was an ancient Taoist temple floating faintly behind him, and "Heaven and Earth" exuded a mysterious atmosphere.

Saint Son Yaoguang and Saint Maiden Yaochi were both attracted by those two words. They were practicing the Great Emperor's scriptures and knew the weight of those two words. They were the true Emperor's texts.

Moreover, the couplets on both sides of the Taoist temple made everyone present feel frightened.

Yao Xi, the Saintess of Yaoguang, was not practicing the Great Emperor's Scriptures and did not know the value of the two characters "Heaven and Earth" on the Taoist temple plaque. She did not pay too much attention to them, but was more concerned with the couplets on both sides of the Taoist temple. She unconsciously recited them and said, "The Immortal Palace of Eternal Life, the Taoist Family with the Same Longevity as Heaven."

Moreover, the eternal and immortal artistic conception emanating from the Taoist temple makes everyone extremely fascinated.

Although Li Zhi has not actually taken action yet, just the prelude has made everyone dare not underestimate him.

As Li Zhi continued to chant, nine real dragons slowly flew out from the mysterious Taoist temple behind him. When everyone thought that this was a magical method of source technique, iron chains suddenly appeared on the real dragons' bodies, and then a mysterious coffin was pulled out of the Taoist temple by the nine real dragons.

Afterwards, the Nine Dragons Coffin, under the control of Li Zhi, rushed directly towards the ground in front.

"Aoaowuwu." The roar of a real dragon seemed to be heard by everyone present.

Afterwards, a piece of ordinary ground over a hundred miles away suddenly began to churn, and nine divine dragons carrying dragon energy broke out from under the earth.

But when the nine dragons reached mid-air, they suddenly stopped flying and began to struggle violently. Then everyone saw nine stretched magic chains appearing on their bodies.

Violent dragon roars resounded through the sky, as if nine dragons were trying hard to pull the big guy out from the ground.

Seeing this, Li Zhi suddenly stopped chanting and said in surprise: "Everyone, go and help. A big guy is about to be pulled out."

When everyone saw this, they all showed expressions of horror.

What kind of method is this? It’s so magical.

Even the Saintess of Yaochi and the Saint Son of Yaoguang could not understand what method Li Zhi had just used. It was neither like the source technique of the Heavenly Master, nor like the dragon-seeking technique of the Earth Master, nor did it have any similarities with ordinary mysterious techniques.

Moreover, while Li Zhi was reciting the scriptures, they could not hear the specific content of the scriptures. They only felt that the scriptures recited by Li Zhi were mysterious and unfathomable.

In fact, Li Zhi himself did not expect that after he transformed the Taoist temple located in the other world into a wheel sea vision, he would be able to establish an inexplicable connection with the earth.

It seems that the Taoist temple was formed from the fetal membrane of heaven and earth.

Moreover, combining the "Feng Shui Burial Sutra" taught by Duan De and the sacrificial scriptures in "Stealing the Secrets of Heaven", plus the nine real dragon images that Li Zhi had memorized on the ancient star Mars, he used the method of nine dragons pulling the coffin to follow the veins of the earth to find the cave where vitality gathered, and then he really found a place where vitality gathered.

And the ancient coffin pulled by the nine real dragons directly placed the cave into it.

However, because the magic power contained in the body of the Nine Heavens True Dragon was too little, it was unable to pull the heavy underground cave out from under the earth.

After arriving at the area where the underground cave was located, Li Zhi immediately infused magic power into the Nine Heavens True Dragon's body, and at the same time said to the Saint of Yao Chi: "Sister Saint, please help me seal the area 736 feet underground, four feet wide, seven feet long, and five feet high, directly below the magic chain, otherwise it will escape."

After hearing Li Zhi's words, everyone thought of Shenyuan at the same time.

Only the divine source can move freely underground.

Upon hearing this, the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi immediately sacrificed a small crystal clear tower to seal off the entire area. Then the Saint Son of Yao Guang directly used the Yao Guang secret method to move the land 736 feet underground to the surface.

Afterwards, everyone saw a huge stone that looked like a sarcophagus and was tied up with magic chains.

Upon seeing this, the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi directly activated the small tower, releasing a powerful sealing force that completely sealed the boulder.

After putting away the small tower, the Saintess of Yao Chi said to Li Zhi: "Master Changshou, you can disperse your magic power. I have used the secret treasure of Yao Chi to seal it up."

Li Zhi also felt the struggle coming from the boulder disappear, and he immediately withdrew his magic power.

Then, the boulder appeared intact in front of everyone.

"Master Changshou, is the divine source inside? Do we need to unlock this source stone now?" asked the disciple from the Five Elements Palace.

Others also looked at the boulder with curiosity.

But Li Zhi shook his head and said, "I'm not sure if there is a divine source inside, but the things inside are not something we can touch for the time being. If we open it rashly, I'm afraid none of us will be able to leave this place alive."

Everyone nodded.

Everyone knows that the closer you are to the Taichu Ancient Mine, the easier it is to cut out living ancient creatures from the source stone you dig out.

This often results in serious bloodshed.

While everyone was observing the stone, Yaoguang Saint suddenly said, "Master Changshou, how about selling this stone to Yaoguang Saint Land? I am willing to exchange it for a king's magic weapon."

Li Zhi shook his head and said, "Although I found it, I have no right to buy or sell it. Thank you Daoist Yaoguang for your kindness."

Afterwards, Li Zhi collected the stone.

The others immediately gathered around and wanted Li Zhi to guide them in finding the divine source hidden underground.

However, Li Zhi politely rejected everyone's request and said, "I know what you are thinking, but I have something to say to you. I hope you can keep it in mind."

"Master, please tell us. We will keep it in mind." Someone shouted immediately.

Li Zhi said: "Life and death have their own principles, and yin and yang have their own differences. Only by following their own principles can we have a good beginning and a good end."

"Master, what does this mean?" asked a disciple from the Illusion Palace.

Li Zhi smiled but said nothing, then looked at Saint Yaoguang and said, "Daoist Yaoguang, do we still need to go deeper into the Taichu Ancient Mine?"

After asking for everyone's opinions, Saint Yaoguang said, "This place is still a thousand miles away from the Taichu Ancient Mine. I don't think it will satisfy everyone. Let's go a little deeper."

Then, led by the Holy Son Yaoguang, everyone took a detour and returned to the routes that had been proven to be safe for sightseeing outside the Taichu Ancient Mine.

After seeing Li Zhi's miraculous methods, no one felt any jealousy in their hearts anymore.

Even the Saint Maidens Yao Chi and Yao Guang seemed to be more intimate with him when they treated him on the rest of the journey.

Yao Xi even asked him about the miraculous technique of finding the source.

Li Zhi said: "It's actually very simple. As long as you can practice the method of the burial warrior, you can do what I just did."

"The method of burial masters? What are burial masters?" Yao Xi was confused. He had never heard of such a cultivator in the world.

Li Zhi continued, "So, Sister Yao Xi, you can't practice my secret method."

"Master Changshou, what is a undertaker?" A disciple of a major sect who was following behind them also asked.

But Li Zhi said: "A funeral master is a funeral master."

Hearing that Li Zhi had no intention of explaining to everyone, everyone could only suppress their curiosity in their hearts.

After hearing the conversation between Yao Xi and Li Zhi, Yaoguang Saint Son, who was walking in front of the team, showed a hint of doubt in his eyes. Obviously, he had underestimated the mysteriousness of Li Zhi.

After having the idea in mind, Saint Yaoguang secretly activated the message sending talisman.

As everyone got closer and closer to the area where the Taichu Ancient Mine was located, the chatter in the crowd almost disappeared.

Even those monks who have the conditions have begun to restrain their aura.

The Saint Maiden Yao Chi and Saint Maiden Yao Guang beside Li Zhi even used their secret treasures to suppress their own auras.

Obviously, they were not blindly optimistic about the Taichu Ancient Mine.

From this point of view, the difference between disciples from big sects and independent practitioners can be distinguished. Disciples from big sects often have a higher level of awareness of danger, and can quickly distinguish the level of danger, and thus come up with corresponding countermeasures.

When passing by an ancient stone forest, Li Zhi suddenly became alert. He secretly took out the snake skin Qiankun bag and temporarily merged it with the sleeve of his Taoist robe.

Then he leaned closer to the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi.

Li Zhi felt that the small tower that the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi had sacrificed earlier should be a powerful holy weapon, and it might even be a replica of Yao Chi's imperial weapon, the Immortal Tears Green Gold Tower.

"Woo woo." Suddenly an ancient whimpering sound came from the stone forest.

It seemed as if ancient people were crying in the stone forest. At the same time, strong winds blew, sand and stones flew everywhere, and the sky and the earth were directly dyed into khaki by the yellow sand.

The vision is obstructed, and there is even a mysterious force in the sandstorm that interferes with the spiritual consciousness.

This caused everyone to unconsciously become separated from their companions.

What’s even more frightening is that from time to time, some strange black shadows would emerge in the yellow sand.

"What the hell is that."

After seeing those strange black shadows, some monks seemed to have thought of something horrible, and they were terrified and turned around to flee away from the Taichu Ancient Mine.

He didn't care about the lives of others at all. He made a full effort, using magic weapons to break through the sandstorm and move forward.

But before they could run out of the sandstorm, someone let out a scream, as if attacked by a strange black shadow in the sandstorm.

"what!"

A scream represented the passing of a life, and with their death, the yellow sandstorm turned into a bloody sandstorm.

"Don't act separately, work together to disperse the sandstorm, otherwise there is no chance of us surviving." Someone shouted loudly in the bloody sandstorm.

"Holy Son Yaoguang, where are you?" Some people began to call out to the Holy Son Yaoguang, hoping that he could come forward and lead everyone through this disaster.

"Boom!" What Saint Son Yaoguang responded to them was a fierce battle.

The holy light on the body of Holy Son Yaoguang was so strong that it almost illuminated half of the sandstorm area. He was fighting a strange bloody figure in the sandstorm.

The aftermath of the battle made the sandstorm even more violent and chaotic. No one dared to call out to the Holy Son of Yaoguang anymore.

"Fairy Yao Chi, please lead us out of the sandstorm." At this time, someone rushed to the side of the Saint of Yao Chi and shouted.

At this moment, Li Zhi quietly left the area covered by the divine tower sacrificed by the Holy Maiden of Yao Chi.

The figure disappeared directly into the bloody sandstorm.

Upon seeing this, the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi immediately released a colorful ribbon in the hope of pulling back Li Zhi who was "blown away" by the sandstorm.

But Li Zhi in the bloody sandstorm seemed like a dream, and the ribbons fell into nothingness.

Afterwards, she lost sight of Li Zhi.

At this moment, Li Zhi had already entered the underground and was digging a hole with a Luoyang shovel, advancing rapidly towards the depths of the stone forest.

The speed is almost comparable to earth escape.

This is a new ability that Li Zhi developed in the sea of ​​starlight in the Star Cave World.

The use of the Luoyang shovel has almost reached the level of perfection.

However, the disappearance of Li Zhi seemed to be a key turning point. The Holy Son Yaoguang's power was so great that he directly killed the bloody figure in the sandstorm.

The sudden and terrifying sandstorm also weakened.

When the sandstorm stopped, everyone had dispersed in a large area of ​​20 miles in radius. In addition to Li Zhi's disappearance, six other disciples of the major sects also died.

No one felt sad about this, but instead was glad that they survived.

At the same time, they looked at Saint Yaoguang with gratitude. If Saint Yaoguang had not displayed his divine power and fought a great battle with the unknown existence in the sandstorm, they would probably have suffered even greater casualties.

After Saint Yaoguang glanced at everyone, a hint of doubt appeared in his eyes. Where was Li Zhi?

The Saint Maiden of Yao Chi and Yao Xi looked anxious.

Li Zhi is missing?
Just when they were about to look for Li Zhi's whereabouts, a huge sleeve suddenly appeared above the stone forest.

There was a black hole on the cuff, which gave off a terrifying suction force, as if it could hold the sky.

"I have a secret in my sleeves. Collect it for me."

High in the sky, Li Zhi had an immortal air, like a fairy child who had descended to the earth. It seemed as if he could contain the heaven and earth with just a wave of his sleeves.

The sleeves were swung open, and the cuffs seemed to have turned into a sky-swallowing pocket. The powerful suction force even seemed to uproot the ancient stone forest. It seemed that any demons and monsters would be unable to escape this huge suction.

Just as everyone was showing shocked expressions, two black-robed figures suddenly flew out from a stone pillar, then quickly shrank and were put into Li Zhi's sleeves.

Afterwards, Li Zhicai stepped on the auspicious clouds and slowly landed on the ground.

Seeing everyone staring at him with an expression of disbelief, Li Zhi said, "Wulian Tianzun, the rat who attacked us secretly has been captured by me."

This time, by borrowing the laws of heaven and earth from the snake skin bag, Li Zhi really made a big move. No wonder so many people like to show off in front of others. This feeling is really wonderful.

But, he felt wonderful, others did not think so.

The fluctuation of magic power on Li Zhi's body was clearly only at the level of the Secret Realm of Wheel Sea, so why did he give them the feeling that a powerful being was casting a spell when he cast the spell just now?

Among them, Saint Yaoguang was the one who felt the most deeply. The two men in black robes were his subordinates, and they were all cultivators from the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm. Although their cultivation was only at the first or second level of Dragon Transformation, when they faced Li Zhi, they were taken down without any resistance.

"The Taoist priest is really good at this." Some people originally thought that Li Zhi was favored by the two saints because of the secret techniques he mastered, but they did not expect that his magic power was so strong, not weaker than those monks who had cultivated in two or three secret realms.

When the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi saw this, the words that the beautiful elder had said to her immediately emerged in her mind, and a hint of determination flashed in her eyes.

"Master, can you please let them out so that we can see who is attacking us in secret?" A disciple from a major sect suggested to Li Zhi.

Li Zhi also nodded and said, "Of course."

At this time, the two black-robed men who were put into the snake-skin Qiankun bag by Li Zhi had been knocked unconscious by the Qiankun Law, and even the joints and meridians in their bodies were torn open by the force of space in the bag.

Moreover, all the magical treasures in the secret realm of their human body were emptied by Li Zhi in this horrific torture.

Afterwards, Li Zhi released the two men in black robes who had been tortured to the point of being turned into a puddle of mud in front of everyone.

"Master, can you wake them up and interrogate them to find out whether they were the ones behind the recent deaths near the Taichu Ancient Mine?" someone suggested.

Seeing this, Li Zhi smiled and said, "Wulian Tianzun. Bad people should be punished by everyone and their bad deeds should be made public."

While speaking, Li Zhi was also observing the expression of the Holy Son Yaoguang.

However, he found that there was no emotion in the other party's eyes, as if he didn't know the two men in black robes at all.

"I will search the soul." A monk who was proficient in the secret technique of searching the soul volunteered.

Then, under everyone's expectant gaze, the man began to search the souls of the two black men.

However, as soon as he touched their souls, the restrictions in their souls were triggered, and violent fluctuations of magic power began to emerge from the bodies of the two men in black robes, as if they were about to self-destruct.

“Hmph!” Upon seeing this, the Holy Son Yaoguang snorted coldly, and then directly released two rays of Hunyuan Holy Light, which directly burned the two men in black robes into ashes.

Seeing the shocked expression on Li Zhi's face, Yao Xi walked over to Li Zhi and explained to him: "There is no need to search the soul of this kind of dead man. Killing him directly is the most direct and safe way to deal with him."

Li Zhi nodded and said, "Since they are lying in ambush here, there must be more than just two people. There must be someone behind the scenes planning and organizing. If we don't dig out the mastermind, won't we continue to be in danger?"

Yao Xi said, "Little brother Changshou, there is almost nothing valuable on these dead soldiers, and most of them have soul-sealing curses planted in their hearts. Once their souls are searched, their souls will explode. If you encounter dead soldiers in the future, you must not be careless. Killing them directly, or even burning them to ashes, is the best way to deal with them."

Yao Xi seemed to be using this opportunity to impart survival experience in the Northern Territory to Li Zhi.

Yao Chi Saint also nodded and said, "Young Taoist Priest Changshou, the situation in the North Territory is complicated, unlike that in the South Territory. For bloody incidents like this that happened around the Taichu Ancient Mine, even if it was a disciple of the Holy Land who was robbed, no one would go to investigate the mastermind behind it, because it is difficult to distinguish whether it was because of the Life Forbidden Zone or someone else was secretly causing trouble."

Li Zhi thought for a moment, then glanced at them and said, "Are you afraid that if you dig deeper, they will eventually lead you back to your own sect?"

Yao Chi Saint Lady was obviously stunned, then smiled and said, "You really dare to think so."

Yao Xi looked at Li Zhi curiously and said, "Little brother, do you know something? Come and tell your sister."

Li Zhi shook his head at this time and said, "I don't know anything."

From beginning to end, Holy Son Yaoguang did not show any abnormality, as if he really had nothing to do with the two men in black robes.

Then, Li Zhi looked around and said, "Are we about to reach our destination? When are we going back?"

The reason why Li Zhi wanted to go back was because he wanted to see the things he had looted from the man in black robe.

After all, it’s better not to count the spoils in front of others.

"This is the limit of the area we can reach. Going any further will be fatal. Fellow Daoist Yaoguang, what do you think?" said the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi.

"Okay." Yaoguang nodded.

"Don't you all want to dig some source stones? Now that we're here, are we going to go back empty-handed? Isn't it said that the stones on the edge of the Taichu Ancient Mine are most likely to produce treasures? With Taoist Changshou here, we will definitely not go back empty-handed." At this time, a cultivator from a small sect who came here with everyone suddenly spoke up.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's faces changed, especially the disciples from the big sects, who immediately distanced themselves from that person, as if those were taboo words.

Sure enough, the storm that had originally subsided suddenly started again.

"Woo woo." And the storm that came this time was a terrifying black storm with the sounds of ghosts crying and wolves howling.

The Saint Maiden of Yao Chi's face changed drastically, and she immediately released the crystal clear little tower, taking her and Li Zhi into the tower.

Saint Yaoguang and Yao Xi also reacted quickly. They each took out a protective treasure and used it to protect themselves.

Even if others used magic weapons to protect themselves, it would be of no avail.

Their magic weapons were of very poor quality and were quickly torn to pieces in the black storm.

Then, they disappeared one after another in the black storm.

Li Zhi and the Holy Maiden of Yao Chi were safe and sound in the small tower, but they could only hear the frequent clanging sounds coming from outside.

As if sensing the extreme power of the black storm outside, the worry on the face of the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi, who was originally concentrating on maintaining the defense of the small tower, dissipated a lot.

Li Zhi looked at the wide space in the tower and the beautiful environment, then took out the spoils he had just obtained.

Two volumes of ordinary scriptures, two magical treasures of the cultivators in the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm, some pure sources, and some sundries.

The most valuable items are a mysterious animal skin scroll and a mirror made of polished bones.

After seeing the white bone mirror, the Saint of Yao Chi said in surprise, "God King's Bone Mirror."

Li Zhi asked, "Sister Yao Chi, do you know it?"

The Saint Lady of Yao Chi said with a serious expression: "This is a magic mirror, which is specially designed to hurt people's essence. It seems to have the terrifying effect of taking away people's essence."

Li Zhi's eyes lit up and he asked, "Sister Yao Chi, do you know which faction had this magic mirror in its hands before?"

Yao Chi Saintess shook her head and said, "Five hundred years ago, a casual cultivator suddenly appeared in the Northern Territory with this magic mirror, and set off a bloody storm. In the end, the casual cultivator was killed by all major forces, and the mirror disappeared at that time. I didn't expect that after five hundred years, it would appear again."

However, Li Zhi was wondering whether the two men in black robes were sent by the Holy Son Yaoguang to test him.

The reason why he was sure that the other party was testing him was because Li Zhi did not sense any murderous intent from them.

Then, Yao Chi Saintess said: "You'd better not use this magic mirror, otherwise it will bring you unnecessary trouble."

Li Zhi nodded and said, "I know this."

Then he opened the scriptures and the scrolls.

The ancient animal skin scroll actually recorded a magical method of refining weapons, "Xuantian Treasure Refining Technique".

Moreover, the purpose of this technique is very lofty. It cultivates the magic weapon as if it were a holy spirit. That is, it places the magic weapon in a special terrain, and uses the power of heaven and earth to nurture the magic weapon instead of the cultivator, thereby stimulating the full performance of the material and exerting the full power of the magic weapon.

Li Zhi asked the Saintess of Yao Chi about this method of training weapons.

Yao Chi Saint Lady seemed to have heard of this ancient method, and said: "This is an ancient method of training weapons. I also have a collection of Yao Chi. However, the conditions for sacrifice and training are very harsh. It is very difficult to find a suitable place to sacrifice weapons. For most cultivators, the time spent looking for a suitable place to sacrifice weapons is enough to make their magic weapons stronger."

After the explanation of the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi, Li Zhi also understood the extraordinary nature of this ancient method.

It is extremely powerful, but the conditions are very harsh. It is not an evil method of sacrificing weapons, but can be regarded as a dignified method of refining treasures.

Li Zhi happily put it away, and he finally figured out the method to refine the alchemy furnace.

It really is what I wish for, whatever I need is there.

Li Zhi thanked Xiao Nannan in his heart. If it weren't for her two tears, he wouldn't have such great luck now.

After putting away the spoils, Li Zhi sat on the ground and began to study the secret technique of refining weapons.

After waiting for a long time and still seeing no sign of the black storm weakening, Yao Chi Saint Lady seemed to want to find someone to chat with, so she suddenly said to Li Zhi: "Master Changshou, do you have time after we go back?"

Li Zhi looked at Yao Chi Saintess with some doubts. Why did she seem to be hesitant? He nodded and said, "I have time."

The Saint of Yao Chi seemed very satisfied with Li Zhi's answer. She became much more cheerful and said in a joyful tone, "Then can you accompany me to the ancient land of Yao Chi?"

"The ancient land of Yaochi?" Li Zhi looked at the Saint of Yaochi with some surprise, wondering why this Saint had such an idea. Didn't they, Yaochi, already seal up the old land of Yaochi?
Seeing the confusion in Li Zhi's eyes, Yao Chi Saintess explained, "I want to go to the ancient land of Yao Chi to practice for a while. But if I want to enter my old land of Yao Chi, I need the help of the Taoist priest. My fairy lake of Yao Chi is in the old land, and there is the divine spring water you need."

Li Zhi suddenly felt a sense of absurdity and thought to himself, "This is going too smoothly."

Before this, he had been thinking about finding an opportunity in the future to go to the old site of Yao Chi to get some holy spring water, but now the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi actually took the initiative to ask him to accompany her, which was something he had never expected.

If he continued like this, and nothing he wanted came true, Li Zhi would not have much sense of accomplishment in his practice.

Seeing Li Zhi lost in thought, the Saint of Yao Chi thought he was hesitating, so she said, "After this trip, whether it succeeds or not, Yao Chi will present you with a peach as a thank you gift."

Li Zhi's eyes lit up, and he immediately showed a look of greed, and said, "Really?"

After seeing Li Zhi's reaction, Yao Chi Saint Lady smiled slightly and nodded, "Really."

Li Zhi smiled brightly and said, "Okay, I'll go with you."

Afterwards, Li Zhi asked the Saintess of Yaochi about the origin of the small tower that protected them, and asked, "Is this small tower a replica of the West Emperor Tower?"

Yao Chi Saintess said: "The Taoist priest has a really good eye."

The small tower used by the Saint of Yao Chi for protection is a replica of the Western Emperor Tower, which is at the level of a holy weapon. It was built by the ancient saint of Yao Chi. Almost all the saints of every generation would use it as a treasure to protect themselves before they completed their cultivation.

Afterwards, the two chatted for a while in the tower before the clanging sounds outside disappeared.

Yao Chi Saint Lady breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The black storm has stopped. Let's go out."

But after putting away the small tower, they were dumbfounded when they looked at the surrounding environment. The stone forest that was right in front of them had disappeared.

They appeared in an unfamiliar area.

　Here is a new chapter, which I wrote last night and this afternoon. There will be another chapter in the evening.

　　
　
(End of this chapter)
