My cultivation is too simple

Chapter 149 Zhang Lei was shocked, exploring the secret technique of spirits

"You are……"

Zhang Lei stared at Zhou You and seemed to finally remember who Zhou You was.

When Zhou You saw Zhang Lei's reaction, he understood that he recognized him, so he no longer concealed his identity. After all, he was already preparing to leave Lincheng, and there was no need to conceal it any longer.

Zhou You smiled and said, "Did Fellow Daoist Zhang forget what he told me when we were at Erhai Lake? That Fellow Daoist...should still remember this thing, right?"

With that said, Zhou You patted his storage bag, took out a jade slip and handed it to Zhang Lei.

This jade slip is the life-saving jade slip that Zhang Lei gave to Zhou You back then. It can be crushed when in danger, and Zhang Lei will arrive in the shortest possible time.

Zhang Lei was surprised when he heard Zhou You's words and saw the jade slip, and finally understood who Zhou You was.

"It's you! Zhou You!"

Zhang Lei's eyes widened with disbelief on his face, and he was stunned.

In his impression, Zhou You had a sallow face, rough skin, and was wearing coarse linen clothes. He was a servant of the Xiao family, working as a fisherman.

At that time, he felt that Zhou You was very popular with him and felt that Zhou You had good perseverance, so he gave Zhou You a life-preserving jade slip and mentioned Zhou You more than once.

Later, after Xiao Yueying's accident, he never saw Zhou You again.

It was thought that Zhou You had been taken back by the Xiao family, or that Zhou You had left Taibai Academy and became a casual cultivator.

I even regretted traveling around.

Unexpectedly, Zhou You, who had not seen Zhou You for more than ten years, suddenly transformed and turned out to be a monk in the late stage of foundation building, with a pill-forming guard by his side!

This……

Zhang Lei couldn't believe what he saw.

Is this really something that a fish servant of the Xiao family can do?

What incredible opportunities have he had in these years?

In other words, his identity is not the fish slave of the Xiao family at all, but another identity?

Zhang Lei's thoughts were in confusion, and he just stared at Zhou You blankly.

"Yes, it's down."

Zhou You said with a smile.

More than ten breaths of time passed before Zhang Lei finally came back to his senses. He looked at Zhou You and smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect that Fellow Daoist Zhou's cultivation has made such amazing progress. His cultivation speed is even faster than that of Tianlinggen. When I worked as a fish slave in the Xiao family, I really buried my genius!"

Zhou You smiled and said: "It's just a chance, nothing compared to Brother Zhang's hard work."

Zhang Lei sighed, but didn't say anything more.

Zhou You then changed the topic, looked at the withered bones on the ground, and couldn't help but ask: "Brother Zhang is not in Taibai Academy, why is he being chased by the monks of the Righteous Alliance?"

After hearing this, Zhang Lei showed a trace of anger on his face.

"This person from the Righteous Alliance is really despicable! Back then, I got a mysterious jade slip. The jade slip recorded that the Righteous Alliance was an undercover agent in my Taibai Academy, so I reported the matter to the academy. The academy took this opportunity to Catch all the spies and severely damage the Zhengqi Alliance."

Zhang Lei hesitated for a moment, and then continued: "The Zhengqi Alliance has always been worried about this matter. Because I handed this jade slip to the academy, the academy gave me a credit. After this matter spread, the Zhengqi Alliance started to focus on it." He killed me and intercepted me several times!"

"And recently, Cangshan has been surrounded. I and other Taibai Academy disciples have been meditating in the academy. The Righteous Alliance has no chance to attack me, so they used despicable means to lure me out."

Having said this, anger emerged on Zhang Lei's face, and he was gnashing his teeth at the Righteous Qi Alliance.

Zhou You asked in confusion: "What a despicable method?"

Zhang Lei said: "They didn't know what means they used to lure Junior Sister Jiang out, capture her, and then send a message to me to lure me out. Fortunately, the elders came together to rescue me this time, otherwise Junior Sister Jiang and I would have died long ago." In the hands of the Righteous Alliance."

Zhou You frowned slightly after hearing this: "Junior Sister Jiang, are you okay now?"

Zhang Lei glanced at Zhou You in surprise, and then he felt relieved when he thought that Jiang Yuyao had mentioned Zhou You, so he said: "Brother Zhou, don't worry, Junior Sister Jiang has been safely sent back to the academy by the elders, and the target of the Righteous Alliance is me, just for They were chasing me, and although the elders of the Righteous Alliance were intercepted by the elders of the academy, I was still targeted by these people and chased them all the way before I got here."

After a pause, Zhang Lei handed over to Zhou You again: "Thanks for meeting Brother Zhou, otherwise I would have been in trouble."

Zhou You said: "It's just a coincidence."

Zhang Lei let out a breath, and then asked: "I wonder why Brother Zhou came here? This seems to be Zuo Chongshan. Zuo Chongshan is the restricted area of ​​​​life in Lincheng. The miasma inside it is so high that even if you are a foundation-building practitioner, it will be quite difficult to enter. dangerous."

Zhou You said casually: "I have encountered a bottleneck in my practice. I need some spiritual medicine to refine the elixir. I heard that it is found in Zuo Chong Mountain, so I came to take the risk to find out."

Zhang Lei was relieved when he heard this.

He said: "That's right. Although Zuo Chongshan is extremely dangerous, there are countless opportunities in it and there are many elixirs. No wonder you brought this hundred hounds here."

As he spoke, he looked at Dahuang next to him and said with some surprise: "Brother Zhou is so talented. This hundred hound spirit dog is a second-level low-grade monster, but it has been cultivated to a second-order mid-grade. I admire you!"

Generally speaking, spiritual beasts with a quality of second-order low-grade will have a cultivation level of second-order low-grade when they reach adulthood. It is very difficult to break through the shackles and reach the second-order mid-grade unless a large number of elixirs are used to pile up.

Zhou You said: "This guy is of some use to me, so I wasted some pills."

Zhang Lei laughed and then changed the topic: "Brother Zhou, your talent is amazing, which is rare in my life. It would be better to join Taibai Academy. I believe that if you join the academy, the elders of the academy will teach you everything they can and spare no effort to help you break through the bottleneck. !”

With a sincere face, Zhang Lei invited Zhou You to join Taibai Academy.

Zhou You slowly shook his head at this and declined without hesitation: "Thank you, Brother Zhang, for your kindness. It's just that I'm used to Xian Yun Yehe, and I don't adapt to the life in the academy."

When Zhang Lei heard this, a flash of disappointment flashed in his eyes, but he also respected Zhou You's decision: "Forget it, with Brother Zhou's talent, he can achieve something whether he is a casual cultivator or goes to a big place like Nanzhou, even in Baidu. Deer Academy also treats students as geniuses, so putting them in Taibai Academy is indeed a bit unfair."

Zhou You smiled and said nothing.

Zhang Lei looked at Zuo Chongshan behind him and said: "Brother Zhou, this Zuo Chongshan is extremely dangerous. Although you are traveling with this senior, the situation inside is difficult to understand. I have a detection technique that can help you avoid the miasma. , explore the situation within fifty miles, if Brother Zhou doesn't mind, I will go in with you and help you obtain the elixir, how about it?"

After hearing this, Zhou You felt warm in his heart.

He knew that Zhang Lei was not just talking casually and going through the motions.

But he truly believed in him and really wanted to help him.

However, Zhou You still shook his head and declined. He said: "Brother Zhang, Lincheng is in turmoil now, and Taibai Academy is in crisis. I don't know how long it will take me to enter Zuo Chongshan. If you follow me in, I am afraid that Taibai Academy will be ignored. You’d better go back.”

After a pause, Zhou You added: "And I also know where the elixir is. If you be careful, you will be fine."

After hearing this, Zhang Lei couldn't help but show a look of struggle on his face.

However, Zhang Lei finally followed the advice.

He took out a jade slip, used his spiritual consciousness to carve some information on it, and handed it to Zhou You: "Brother Zhou, this jade slip contains my secret technique. It is not difficult to practice this technique. With your Talent should only take a few days to master, and it should be helpful to you.”

Zhou You was a little surprised, but still took the jade slip to express his gratitude to Zhang Lei.

Afterwards, Zhou You thought for a while and took out a jade slip and handed it to Zhang Lei.

"Brother Zhang, there is some important information in this jade slip. You can check it again one day after you go back. It may be of some help to you and Taibai Academy."

Zhou You said seriously.

Zhang Lei glanced at the jade slip in surprise, then nodded: "Okay, I'll look at it in a day!"

After Zhang Lei told Zhou You to pay attention to safety, he cupped his hands towards Lu Yunfeng, which turned into a rainbow and sped away.

As Zhang Lei left, Zhou You turned his attention to the jade slip. With a sweep of his consciousness, he saw the content recorded on the jade slip.

"Psychic detection."

What is recorded on the jade slip is a rather magical detection spell. The stronger the spiritual consciousness, the stronger the detection range.

Generally speaking, the intensity of spiritual consciousness in the middle stage of foundation building is only about twenty miles.

But Zhang Lei can use this spell to detect situations within fifty miles.

Moreover, it can also ignore the influence of miasma.

The current strength of the wandering spiritual consciousness is around 280 miles. If this technique is practiced to perfection, it should not be a problem to detect a range of 500 miles.

Zhou You thought for a while and decided to practice this technique first.

According to Zhang Lei, the practice of this technique is quite simple. It is not difficult to practice. There is no need to practice it to perfection when traveling around. It only needs to be able to be used. At least it is better than the current range of more than ten miles.

"Help me protect the law, I will practice this technique first."

After speaking, Zhou You sat down cross-legged and began to practice according to the secret techniques recorded in the jade slips.

Lu Yunfeng didn't say much, he just stood by the side obediently, with his consciousness out, alert to the situation nearby.

Dahuang, on the other hand, was lying on his side next to Zhou You.

The art of detecting spirits mainly uses magic power to cultivate a kind of spiritual power particles. These particles are scattered around like dust, and spiritual consciousness can be attached to the spiritual power particles. As the spiritual power particles spread, they can capture the objects beyond the spiritual power. Some movements within the scope of awareness.

However, this spiritual power particle also has a distance limit.

Generally speaking, if the upper limit of one's own spiritual consciousness is exceeded, the spiritual consciousness attached to the particles will also lose its effect.

For example, Zhang Lei's spiritual consciousness range is only about twenty miles. Once the spiritual consciousness attached to the spiritual power particles exceeds fifty miles, it will gradually lose its effect and cannot detect effectively.

In addition, this technique has another effect, which is the detection of ordinary spiritual consciousness, which can be easily discovered by high-level monks, even monks of the same level.

But this spiritual detection technique is different. Divine consciousness is attached to the spiritual power particles. It is a very tiny ray of divine consciousness. Even high-level monks cannot easily detect it.

This is the value of "Spirit Detection Technique" and why Zhou You decided to practice it before entering Zuo Chongshan.

Zhou You began to practice according to the methods in "Spirit Detection".

After just half a stick of incense, Zhou You felt the golden seal in the sea of ​​consciousness begin to flicker.

[Spirit Detection: A rather magical detection spell, you can achieve success with regular practice. 】

A line of text appears on the gold seal.

[Spirit Detection Technique] was successfully included in the Golden Seal.

Sure enough, as Zhang Lei said, the practice of this technique is quite simple, and it can be practiced successfully easily.

At this speed, Zhou You estimated that if he kept practicing, he would be able to practice it to perfection in less than two days.

However, Zhou You doesn't have that much thought to practice the "Spirit Detection Technique". He only needs to practice it to the point where it can be used.

Two hours passed in the blink of an eye.

The progress of [Spirit Detection Technique] reached 10 points, and Zhou You clearly felt that he could easily create tiny particles of spiritual power.

Zhou You made secrets with both hands, and his magic power surged, each one invisible to the naked eye, and even difficult to capture with his spiritual consciousness.

As Zhou You raised his hand, those spiritual power particles began to spread.

The traveling consciousness attached to those spiritual power particles and began to spread rapidly.

However, this speed seems to be very fast, but it is naturally completely incomparable to the instantaneous speed of divine consciousness.

After dozens of breaths, those spiritual energy particles finally stopped, and Zhou You finally saw clearly the situation within a hundred miles.

"Based on the current situation, we can only observe the situation within a hundred miles radius."

Zhou You closed his eyes and carefully observed the situation around him, clearly seeing everything within a hundred miles.

That situation is not much different from spiritual detection.

"The only drawback of this technique is that it is not as flexible as divine sense detection, but it is really easy to use."

With a satisfied look on Zhou You's face, he collected his consciousness, and those spiritual power particles automatically collapsed and became invisible.

Zhou You opened his eyes, touched his chin, and began to think about the situation inside Zuo Chongshan.

"Judging from the situation just now, it is indeed quite dangerous inside Zuo Chongshan."

Zhou You said secretly.

I just used the "Spirit Detection Technique" to observe the situation within a hundred miles inside Zuo Chongshan. Within this one hundred miles alone, there are many powerful wandering souls, among which there are not a few wandering souls who build the foundation of Dzogchen. There are also two wandering spirits in the early stage.

In addition, there are many demonized trees that are also cannibals.

There are bones everywhere in the mountain. I don’t know how many people died in this place.

However, Zhou You is not afraid. The appearance of those wandering souls is actually a good thing for him.

You can use the Soul Flag to collect them all.

As long as there are no wandering souls in the middle stage of pill formation, everything is easy to say.

He withdrew his attention and looked around at the four withered bones, with a look of pity on his face.

After all, they were two ghosts in the middle stage of foundation building and two in the late stage of foundation building. It was a pity that they were burned by Lu Yunfeng like this.

Lu Yunfeng seemed to see Zhou You's thoughts and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, are you feeling sorry for these ghosts in the foundation building period?"

Zhou You nodded: "Next time you take action, be more careful."

Lu Yunfeng first cupped his hands and said, "Next time," and then said, "Did your Majesty forget your identity? I am the weapon spirit of the Soul Banner! I have secretly collected them without your Majesty's orders." Entering the soul flag."

Hearing this, Zhou You couldn't help but be a little surprised, and patted Lu Yunfeng on the shoulder: "Xiao Lu, you did a great job."

"..."

Lu Yunfeng's face twitched, and he found it difficult to accept this title.

He has been practicing for more than three hundred years and is a veritable old monster. Now he is called "Xiao Lu" by Zhou You, which makes him feel at a loss.

But after all, he was traveling around, so he didn't dare to say anything more, so he could only smile awkwardly.

"Your Majesty, this is what I should do."

Lu Yunfeng said.

Zhou You said: "Find the soul of Zhao Wujie."

"it is good."

Lu Yunfeng responded and quickly summoned Zhao Wujie's soul.

Zhao Wujie is a monk in the late stage of foundation building, and his spiritual consciousness is not weak. After entering the soul flag, it will take more than ten days for his spiritual consciousness to break and his consciousness to sink.

After Zhao Wujie's soul appeared, he quickly regained his consciousness.

When he saw clearly Zhou You and the soul flag in front of him, he instantly understood what was going on. His face changed drastically and his soul body trembled.

"Demon, demon cultivator!"

He never expected that he would meet a demon cultivator!

Those are all murderous beings. Cracking skin, refining marrow and sucking blood are all commonplace.

If you fall into the hands of a demon cultivator, you will really have to live and die.

No wonder this person came to Zuo Chongshan.

After all, Zuo Chongshan is a restricted area of ​​life in the eyes of ordinary immortal cultivators, but in the eyes of demon cultivators, it is an out-and-out holy land.

"Senior, I offended you without thinking, please spare my life, or let me go to reincarnation."

Zhao Wujie knelt down and kowtowed to Zhou You on the spot.

He also knew that among the two beasts, Zhou You was the leader, and the monk in the Dan Formation stage was nothing more than Zhou You's protector.

Zhou You looked at Zhao Wujie calmly: "One question, why does the Zhengqi Alliance deal with Zhang Lei?"

From Zhou You's point of view, it was absolutely wrong for the Zhengqi Alliance to spend so much effort to deal with Zhang Lei.

Even if they knew that Zhang Lei was the culprit who caused them to lose so many undercover agents, there was no need to use so many resources or even work on Jiang Yuyao to kill him.

Moreover, according to what Zhang Lei said, the Zhengqi Alliance even dispatched many alchemy monks to deal with him.

If it weren't for the alchemy monks from Taibai Academy who went there with him, Zhang Lei might have died or been captured alive by the Righteous Alliance.

This is so abnormal.

Zhou You didn't believe that it was just for revenge against Zhang Lei.

Is it enough to lie to a ghost?

Zhao Wujie said tremblingly: "A few years ago, the undercover agents placed by the Zhengqi Alliance in Taibai Academy and the Lin Family were suddenly uprooted. Later, the investigation revealed that Zhang Lei played a decisive role, and it was he who provided the corresponding list, so The Righteous Alliance began to eradicate Zhang Lei."

After listening to Zhao Wujie's words, Zhou You couldn't help but shake his head: "I gave you a chance but you didn't use it."

After saying that, Zhou You's powerful spiritual consciousness surged out, instantly locked onto Zhao Wujie's soul, and launched a soul-searching technique on him.

"No!"

Zhao Wujie shouted in horror. The next moment, his soul was shaking and his eyes became confused and distracted.

Lu Yunfeng, who was watching this scene on the side, couldn't help but feel a little scared. At the same time, he was secretly grateful. Fortunately, he cooperated with Zhou You in the first place. Otherwise, he might have ended up being searched for his soul, and then his consciousness would be shattered and he would become one of the ghosts in the soul flag.
