Chapter 876 Flood Dragon Puppet

Cao Yu didn't respond directly. He sized up Zhang Shiping for a while, and then said slowly:

"Shiheng should also know that our clan has inherited the ancient inheritance, and the nine ancestors worked together to realize three methods from the inheritance. The name of the law is "Changing Yuan and Turning Soul", I think you should have more or less contact with it, but do you know the mystery of it?"

Zhang Shiping didn't know what the old man was planning, so he said with an unchanged expression: "Could it be that fellow Daoist Cao wants to share the secret with me?"

"Why not? Shiheng should have practiced the method of "Changing Yuan and Turning Soul" to the second half of the volume, do you think this method is difficult or easy?" Cao Yu asked with a smile.

"Naturally, it is extremely dangerous. When practicing, be careful at all times, like walking on thin ice. If you make a mistake, your soul will be damaged." Zhang Shiping did not hide it. After all, Cao Yu must have a more thorough understanding of this method than him.

In fact, although this "Changing Yuan and Turning Soul" is the first-class spiritual cultivation method in the world, it is really too difficult.

There are many miraculous medicines in the practice world that can heal the injuries of the spirit and soul. Xiao Chengwu, who has practiced this method, as a venerable, it is easy for him to obtain these medicines.

But even so, it is inevitable that he will end up with a split mind after all.

"That's true. In fact, the nine ancestors of our clan have never practiced this method to great success. But even so, they can achieve the transformation of the gods, instead of taking the edge of the sword to participate in the method of enlightening the virtual gods." After Cao Yu finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Shiping with a faint smile on his face.

"3 years ago, the small world should have suppressed the realm of monks, right? Under this environment, they can also be promoted to become gods?" Zhang Shiping was a little puzzled, and at the same time, his heart was a little moved.

After all, the realm of transforming gods can be regarded as the lifelong pursuit of all Nascent Soul cultivators.Only after attaining the God Transformation, will they be able to pass through the Reverse Spirit Passage, break away from the barriers of the Small World, and have the possibility of immortality.

It's just according to what he said in the records of the classics he had read before.

There are about 13 years from ancient times to the present, and the period from 8000 years ago to the ancient times is called the end of ancient times. There are still monks in the integration period in the world, and the small world can still be called the spirit world at that time.However, the entire world is constantly shrinking, and the three realms such as Nanzhou are the best examples.

In ancient times, the territory of the three realms was so vast, and even a single realm could not be crossed by the Nascent Soul Transformation God cultivator relying on his own cultivation.Only when monks have reached the realm of the void and initially comprehended the mysteries of space can they cross the void and travel between them.

But then the inspiration between heaven and earth declined rapidly. During the period from 8 to 8 years ago, there were very few monks in the state of integration.Even if it was the Xuanyuan Sect at that time, there was only one ancestor at the fusion stage [-] years ago, and he was already a top monk in the world.

Therefore, even though Venerable Jin Guang was a great power in the later stage of Dongxu, he had to come from overseas to see him after being summoned by the ancestor of the fusion stage.

But after tens of thousands of years, the inspiration between heaven and earth has become extremely obscure, and it is not enough to support monks to practice to the realm of transforming gods.

The decline of one world's inspiration does not decline slowly, but in a stepwise and precipitous manner.

It was about 4 years ago, when the spirit of Xiaohuanjie further declined. At that time, the Nascent Soul realm was already the highest realm that monks could reach through normal practice.

At that time, it was the early stage when the spiritual intelligence of the small world began to decline sharply. At that time, it was relatively easy for Nascent Soul monks to break through the bottleneck, so there were many monks in the middle and late stages.

As for now, Xiaohuanjie's inspiration is still the same, and there is no sign of recovery.This point, low-level monks have not been able to feel it, but Nascent Soul monks have a deep understanding. When they practice, every step they take is no less than sailing against the current.

Otherwise, most of the more than a hundred Nascent Soul monks in Nanzhou are only at the initial stage of cultivation.

"Naturally, it is possible to promote Huashen, otherwise the nine ancestors and Mingxinzong, ten of them would not have broken through almost at the same time. This is the mystery of the ancient inheritance." Cao Yu Zhizhu said, holding the ground, he believed No Nascent Soul cultivator in this world can resist this temptation.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Shiping's expression suddenly became calm. He took a sip from the teacup, and then asked:

"Since that's the case, then I don't know what Cao Daoyou wants to get from me. With your cultivation base, if there is still something you can't do, then I should be even more impossible."

"Shiheng is worrying too much, the old man has nothing to ask for." Cao Yu said with a smile.

"What? Could it be that Fellow Daoist Cao treats me like a three-year-old child? The more hopeless this is, the heavier the price will be in the future. What exactly do you want? If I can do it, I will try my best, but If it is really powerless, let’s stop talking.” Zhang Shiping chuckled.

Cao Yu picked up the teacup at hand, brewed it, took off the lid, took a sip, and said slowly:

"Your lips and teeth are fragrant, good tea. Shiheng, do you know what the best things in the world are, one is tea, the other is wine, the former is light, the latter is strong, and all flavors of life are in it. How long do you think there is in the small world?" There will be another moment when the inspiration declines, and there is not much time left. I am old, so it doesn't matter, but you are still young, and if you don't grasp all the opportunities, how can you go further?"

"Could it be that I want to follow the example of the clan and use the blood and soul formation again?" Zhang Shiping said.

"You little guys, you don't take life seriously. You always feel that there is still time. Unlike old guys like me, all you think about is how to live one more day. But this blood refines the soul, and Bu Yizhen The method is for external use, and there is also a method for internal refinement. The three methods of our clan are inherited in one continuous line, and the final practice is an ancient and strange method called "Blood Demon Sutra". This is the inheritance of our clan. It records the experience of the ancestors of the family practicing "Changing the Yuan and Turning the Soul". The old man doesn't ask much, I just hope that you can take care of those younger generations and give them a safe place in the future for the sake of being the blood of the Qin family , don’t need too much.” Cao Yu said calmly.

As soon as he finished speaking, he put down his cup of tea, flipped his hands over and took out another palm-sized blood jade, put it on the table, then got up and walked out slowly.

Before leaving, he paused for a while, turned his back to Zhang Shiping, and sighed, "Whether you agree or not, the inheritance of our clan is entrusted to you. The crimes of this old man are too heavy, and the clansmen are willing to die. The sacrifices in the soul refining array for blood and soul are just to fulfill me alone. I just want to give me a chance to break through the transformation of the gods. But the old man has failed everyone's expectations after all. Now I just need to close my eyes, alas !"

After saying this, Cao Yu seemed to have aged a lot all of a sudden, and his figure became stooped.In Bixiao Palace before, he rejected the Suanhou's entreaty, I don't know how determined he was at that time.

He walked out step by step, rose up against the wind, and flew towards Baimang Mountain slowly.

Zhang Shiping looked at the blood jade on the table, turned his body slightly, put his elbow on the armrest of the chair, touched his chin, and said nothing.

But after about half a stick of incense, Jiang Rui walked in. Seeing Zhang Shiping's appearance, he couldn't help asking: "Master, what's the matter, what did the old guy say?"

"Nothing." Zhang Shiping replied.It is not a glorious thing to kill each other.

After hearing this, Jiang Ru didn't ask any further questions. Instead, he looked at the blood jade on the table and said, "This is what he left behind. What's in it?"

"Clan inheritance." Zhang Shiping replied flatly.

"Don't take a look?" Jiang Ru didn't rush to check.

"I'm worried that the temptation here is too great, and if I lose my heart, the gain will not be worth the loss." Zhang Shiping said.

"That's up to the master to decide for himself. But this method should come from the Mingxin Bieyuan, and this place must never go again." After Jiang Si finished speaking, he walked out without hesitation, leaving Zhang Shiping alone Space.

After a long time, until the outside sky was dark, he stretched out his hand and took the blood jade.

But he didn't look at it, but put it directly into the jade belt around his waist, then turned around and returned to the quiet room.

Under the dancing blue flame of the bronze lamp, he sat down cross-legged, calmed down his miscellaneous thoughts, and waited for his mood to calm down.

Then with a thought in his mind, a ball of golden light slowly rose from the palm of his hand.

Immediately afterwards, the golden light dissipated and condensed into small golden mirrors, suspended in the air, and then in the misty clear light, Zhang Shiping Yuanying came out of the body through the body.

The 21 golden light mirrors immediately surrounded the Nascent Soul and formed a formation, wisps of golden light flowed out from the mirrors, enveloping it.

The night passed quietly until dawn, when the dawn was faint.

The Nascent Soul flew out of the golden light, landed slowly on the top of the fleshy body, and then disappeared in a flash.

Zhang Shiping slowly opened his eyes, and the 21 golden light mirrors condensed into a ball of golden light, which submerged into the middle dantian again.

"So that's the case, no wonder Jin Guangjing recognizes me." Zhang Shiping stood up and said, then extinguished the bronze lamp and put it away.

This night, he tried to communicate with the ignorant god in the golden light mirror, although he didn't get a clear response.

However, in the memory of the god Namo Lake, he saw Master Jin Guang and Ya Shisan, the self-proclaimed Lord of the Fire Crow, under the fire mulberry tree in Xiaotang Valley under the Chisha Island, hand in hand to create a practice method. Scenes.

However, there were only a few words between the two of them during this period.

Most of the time, they condense their own perceptions into array pattern talismans and record them on each red stone.

It's just that these formation patterns are still too advanced for Zhang Shiping, and he can only see a general idea based on "Liujia True Strategies".

And I don't know how long it took, Master Jin Guang left Xiaotang Valley, and that scene is only recorded here.

After leaving the quiet room, Zhang Shiping flew straight up, stepped on the clouds, stood with his hands behind his back, and looked at the place where the sea and the sky meet.

Amidst the layers of morning glow, a round of half-rising red sun shimmered on the sea, like a flame in the sea, burning blazingly, and birds soared between the clouds and the sea.

Zhang Shiping closed his eyes, let go of his spirit completely, felt the mystery of the rising sun, and breathed out the purple energy between heaven and earth.

It wasn't until the sun had completely risen above the sea, and after the golden light was released, that he felt an extremely blazing aura in his soul, and then he turned back and returned to the White Ape Palace.

On a large square in the palace, he waved his sleeves, and a twenty-foot-long corpse of a Nascent Soul Flood Dragon suddenly appeared.

This is what he spent eight 5000-year-old precious medicines in exchange for.

Earlier in Bixiao Palace, people bid for twelve demon corpses, as well as the two demon infants.Ten of the corpses were sold at the price of eight precious medicines, and no monk raised the price too much.This is also because the Nascent Soul cultivators present only received seven precious medicines.

But the price of the remaining two demon babies' bodies is much higher.Each body fetched a high price of ten precious medicines, and the number of its demon babies reached seventeen.

This price may be a bit inflated, but demon babies have always been rare, and there are other wonderful things, even big monks such as Xuanyuanzong and Bixiaogong are not willing to give in, so they raised the price up.

The reason why Zhang Shiping was able to take out nine plants was that some of them were ginger-like.The same is true for other monks. Several people who have good friendship with each other combined the treasure medicine they got, and one of them used it for auction, and the others did not bid.

Therefore, a total of 24 Nascent Soul cultivators bid this time, and the remaining 140 true monarchs shared the [-] four precious medicines obtained from the auction, each with six plants.

Calculated from this, Zhang Shiping and Jiang Ru, the master and servant, only paid three precious medicines in exchange for this Nascent Soul Flood Dragon Corpse.

The reason why Yu Rui made such a proposal is also because there are more Nascent Soul cultivators in their four sects, and they can benefit from it.

Of course, the other True Monarchs didn't understand, but their hearts were not in harmony. Some knew that they would not get these monster clan corpses and monster babies, so they thought it would be better to get more precious medicines, and they were already satisfied.

Zhang Shiping looked at it for a long time, then waved his hands and used mana as a talisman, surrounded Jiaolong's body, using the method of "Dutian Puppet Refining" he got from the Yan family, to draw the formation patterns step by step.

Soon, a huge formation with a width of several tens of feet was laid on the square.

After finishing the last stroke, Zhang Shiping reached out and wiped the jade belt around his waist, from which hundreds of fist-sized, reddish-black strange stones flew out, like stars scattered, embedded in every node of the formation.

Layers of black and red intertwined aura suddenly erupted from the magic circle, submerging the dragon's body.

The Dutian Corpse refined in "Dutian Puppet Refining" is one of the three most famous strange corpses in practice, alongside the silver-winged yaksha and the golden body moon corpse.

Even if these three strange corpses are not born with mind, they can practice on their own, and their cultivation base will continue to grow with time, and they will also possess several extremely difficult supernatural powers.

Those monks of the same level were entangled by this kind of monster, and they might fall if they were not careful.

However, because there was no demon baby in this corpse, Zhang Shiping could only sacrifice it to a puppet with a Nascent Soul cultivation base.

Although this kind of puppet is stronger than ordinary ones, it is not comparable to all heavenly corpses.

After the formation was completed, Zhang Shiping sat cross-legged outside, his hands and fingers changed, and he pinched the Fa Jue, and shot out a series of spiritual lights towards the hazy black and red light curtain.

After another three days of effort like this, the body of Jiaolong who was motionless in the formation suddenly opened his eyes, raised his head and let out an extremely hoarse growl.

But Zhang Shiping didn't get distracted, this is just the first step completed, and it will take some more time to refine it completely.

……

Chapter 877 Changes

Time flies, suddenly three months have passed.

On that day, on the square in the White Ape Palace, a giant cocoon formed by the interweaving of black and red auras was constantly surging.

Suddenly there was a cracking sound, and there were more than a dozen small cracks on the surface of the giant cocoon, and a wet black dragon broke free from it, then pulled out its forelegs, and crawled out of the cocoon with its whole body. , bowed his head in front of Zhang Shiping.

"Master, can you master it?" Jiang Ru said slowly.

"That's right, but it's a pity that the corpse of the dragon with the demon baby couldn't be taken down, so Bai Shiyu has to go. If you meet this person in the future, you should be careful. The Bai family has been coveting the secret place of Mingxin Bieyuan. "Zhang Shiping said calmly.

"In this case, why not use this place to kill them..." Jiang Si said here, slashing his neck with a knife in his hand, his tone serious.

"Don't worry, Bai Yuheng has always been cautious, and it's not easy to fall into the trap. Besides, it's not the time yet. With my cultivation, even if I get rid of the two Nascent Souls of the Bai family, I won't get much benefit from it. Besides, if it doesn't work, it will cause a lot of trouble." Zhang Shiping stretched out his hand to pat the dragon's head, and put it into the imperial beast bag.

When Jiang Xi saw it, his expression turned a little bad, and he said in a low voice: "Master, that's my beast-guarding bag. If there is one more, it will be too crowded inside."

"Why, do you still want to stay in the imperial animal bag?" Zhang Shiping said flatly, then got up and glanced at it.

"Of course I don't want to. Who wants to stay in such a cramped place? Once they enter, they will feel dizzy and bored." Jiang Ru shook his head hastily.

"Follow me." Zhang Shiping turned around and walked towards a side hall in the palace, came to the meditation room, and took down the belt-shaped Sumi magic weapon left by Venerable Jin Guang from a hanger.

Then he reached out and wiped the jade belt around his waist, and took out more than ten storage bags from it, and hundreds of brocade boxes and jade bottles, large and small, filled the entire quiet room.

With the movement of the divine mind, a large piece of golden light shot out from the Sumeru belt in his hand, wrapping up these items and putting them away.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Shiping took off his belt, but Jiang Ru also took a sudden step, looking at him with a full face of vigilance.

"What kind of eyes do you have, you can't find it?" Zhang Shiping said angrily, and he threw his mustard seed magic weapon belt over.

Then he went on to say: "It seems that you don't have a suitable storage magic weapon. I will give you the replacement one. If you don't like the style, you can change it yourself."

As he spoke, Zhang Shiping stretched out his hand to wipe the belt, and its bright yellow leather instantly turned light blue, which was similar in color to the cloak.

"If you have this kind of thought again in the future, I will suppress and seal you deep in the spiritual veins of Bihu Island." Zhang Shiping said while tidying up his clothes, how could he not know what Jiang Ru was thinking about.

"Don't you think that the owner's orientation is somewhat different, regardless of gender and race, if I go out and look for it like this, I will definitely find a suitable one." Jiang Xi took the belt and joked.

"Go out." When Zhang Shiping heard this, his face immediately became serious.

Jiang Ru disappeared in the same place in a flash, but there was a chuckle from the quiet room: "Master, you really mean it, just say it, the female cultivators in this world are probably lined up all the way from the gate of Yuanxiao City to this white place." Ape Palace."

At this time, Zhang Tianming, who was walking in from outside the palace, was a little confused when he heard it, as if he had come at the wrong time.

He was wondering whether to go in, or to leave first and come back after a few hours?

"Come in, what are you doing outside?" Zhang Shiping said via voice transmission.

Jiang Ru passed by Zhang Tianming, patted him on the shoulder, and said solemnly: "Boy, you heard it too, hurry up and make arrangements for your ancestors, so as to spread the branches and grow the Zhang family."

"Senior Jiang, are you trying to kill me? How can we juniors take care of the ancestor's affairs?" Zhang Tianming gave a wry smile.

"Look at Du Yu. Although he doesn't have a wife, there are two or three concubines in the palace, Meiji. Then look at Tianfeng. I heard that this guy's child is almost full moon, and he is said to have dual spiritual roots. You If the patriarch of the family doesn't work hard, he will not be able to get back the favors that are sent to us, what a loss." Jiang Ru said in a deep voice.

A red light suddenly manifested, and with a clang, it turned into a sharp sword, which was about to strike Jiang Ru's neck.

I saw Jiang Sidun turning into a gust of yellow wind and galloping away towards the distance.

"I'll settle the score with you next time." Zhang Shiping appeared in front of Zhang Tianming, grasped the hilt of the sword, pulled a sword flower, and put the Qingshuang sword into his body.
