Chapter 125 There is no sun or moon in the cave, and five years have passed in the world.

(Sorry, I was delayed by something at home)
Practice room.

At this time, the room was piled high with sundries, including materials, silver, magic money, and various books and secret strategies.

This is the reward after killing a powerful enemy a few days ago.

Previously, he had captured Gui Yan, Zhang's children, Gui Xiangshan, a wolf and a tiger, a total of five Chu Dan.

Except Gui Yan who was still alive, the other four Chudan were all killed by himself.

Xu Yang was sorting out their personal belongings.

The treasures include a foot, a horn, and two swords.

All three are no match for the mixed iron rod which can be large or small.

"I can just give these as rewards to my subordinates." Xu Yang thought.

Not to mention the materials, one first-level pill is about a thousand merits, plus the materials and property on them, the money earned is enough for Jiuyou Temple to use for ten years.

"One thousand merits are equivalent to about 100,000 taels. Five first-level elixirs are worth 500,000 taels. Add the materials on them, and it's almost 800,000 taels."

This is the profit of this trip.

Moreover, this was Xu Yang's own gain alone. His disciples killed many monsters, and these monsters also brought them many benefits.

From the pile of miscellaneous items, Xu Yang found a book with four large characters "癸水阴雷" written on it.

"Guishui Yin Lei? The Zhang family's secret technique turns out to be Guishui Yin Lei?" Xu Yang suddenly realized. No wonder this thunder was so strange and changeable, hurting the soul. It turned out to be this kind of Yin Lei.

I have been coveting thunder magic for a long time. Today I got the Guishui Yin Thunder. I also have the Guishui Yin body and the Water Palace. It should be relatively easy to practice.

"My cultivation has been upgraded to the initial stage. The previous spells can no longer meet the needs of self-defense. The appearance of Yin Lei is just right to fill this gap."

What did you rely on for self-defense before? Black Water Curse, Blood Rain, Mica Body, Blood Sword, and Mixed Iron Rod.

Or fire, poisonous water, etc.

These are considered unorthodox techniques. Before the initial stage of the Dan realm, these spells are more than enough to deal with close range cultivators.

Now that I am a beginner cultivator, relying on these spells can no longer meet my needs for self-defense.

The appearance of Yin Lei just filled this gap.

I will practice this method from now on.

Xu Yang thought.

Time passes little by little.

Bird official city.

The once prosperous city was reduced to ruins in less than half a year.

The bricks, beams, and furniture were all taken back by the people to build houses and repair homes. The arrogant demons disappeared one by one, and people were everywhere "looking for treasure" with hoes.

"Hey, this demon was very arrogant before, but he offended the Taoist priest of Jiuyou Temple. He will not live past the age of fifteen!" The old man was holding the hoe, wiping the sweat from his forehead, and jokingly talking to his colleague beside him.

"The Taoist priest at Jiuyou Temple is a really good person. I will go there to burn incense every month from now on."

"That's as it should be."

The people expressed their gratitude profusely.

Before, they were not impressed by Jiuyou Temple until the demon clan appeared. In comparison, Jiuyou Temple was simply a first-class great philanthropist, an unprecedented great philanthropist.

Only the master of Jiuyou Temple, Master Chongyang, can save the world.

The number of believers in Taoist temples has increased several times compared to before.

White Tiger Hall.

Chang Tong and Ruyi knelt down and stated their duties.

The system of Jiuyou Temple is different from that outside. Here, they are still the masters of Jiuyou Temple.

"Longcong County has a total population of 400,000 people, including two ninth-rank officials. The population under the jurisdiction of Jiuyou Temple has exceeded one million."

Chang Tong reported line after line of data.

"Next, you spread your faith. As for the surrounding forces... don't provoke them for now."

The demon clan withdrew from the southern slope, but that did not mean they withdrew from Dijie County.

Therefore, defense is still the main focus at present.

I've heard some rumors in the county palace before.

It is said that the three powerful men of the Fire Kingdom have reached a consensus and intend to end the chaos.

In other words, the chaotic era of wanton conquests has not arrived, it is just a short-term unrest. As to whether it is brewing the next greater unrest, it is unknown.

At least the current expansion trend has ended, the population under his jurisdiction exceeds one million, and the resources of the two counties are firmly in his hands. He can sit back and relax and wait for the right time to act.

"The Five Ghost Taoist wants to see you!"

Qingping brought the Five Ghost Taoists.

A mighty man in Taoist robes followed Qingping carefully.

"I pay my respects to the abbot of Chongyang Temple. May you live as long as the heaven and enjoy eternal blessings!" The Taoist Wugui seemed extremely humble, and spoke differently from before.

The extermination of the Lianxue Temple made the Five Ghosts Taoist ecstatic. He thought that the time had come and that the Jiuyou Temple would definitely make him the new Longcong Temple master in order to win him over.

Unexpectedly, the position of the abbot was given to another person.

The Five Ghosts Taoist realized later that he was not that important.

Thinking of this, he broke out in a sweat. He had always treated Xu Yang as his equal because he had supported him before.

Is this a warning to myself?
The five ghosts were panicked and hurried over to test the waters to see if they had offended Xu Yang.

"Get up." Xu Yang said straight to the point, "You don't have to panic. If you submit to Jiuyou Temple, everything will be normal. If not, you will have to bear the consequences yourself."

"I understand." Although Xu Yang's words were unpleasant to hear, they actually made the Five Ghosts Taoist feel relieved.

"Master, this is my unique meridian skill. Please correct me."

The Taoist Wugui held up the temple secret book in both hands.

"it is good."

Xu Yang took the secret book and flipped through it casually. This was a secret book on how to refine the five elements and five ghosts.

You can learn a little bit and combine it with the locust wood ghost's method to create a new lineage of magic.

Of course, Xu Yang might not be able to use it, he just wanted to learn from it when he had nothing to do.

Wait for everyone to leave.

The old man of the land appears again.

Xu Yang's fingertips once again condensed the Daozang Shenshi Dao Seed, and the golden light of the seed was like an elixir. "Old land master, what is this?"

The old landowner stepped forward and checked again and again, frowning as if he was recalling the past.

"It looks familiar... maybe it's a spirit seed? It should be the spirit seed of some gods who were reincarnated in the ancient heaven."

In terms of faith, most gods do not practice self-cultivation or breakthroughs. Their upper limit is whatever the magic talisman says.

For example, the old man of the land, his upper limit is the spiritual fetus, and his lifespan is two thousand years, which is similar to that of a normal cultivator.

Generally, when their lifespan reaches its end, gods and spirits will usually seek ways to escape and achieve immortality.

The best method is naturally to make great achievements and obtain the reward of peaches from the Queen Mother, and the ordinary method is to obtain spiritual seeds.

The spiritual seed contains the Taoist's essence. He will give this thing to someone he values. When this person cultivates the spiritual seed, he will take the opportunity to take over his position.

This method is safer than possession, but its disadvantage is that it places too high demands on the host and requires a large amount of faith.

"This method can only be used when the gods are weak to a certain extent. They are often unable to take over the body, or even have difficulty in moving."

"It's really unusual." Hearing the old landowner's words, Xu Yang immediately felt relieved, but at the same time, different thoughts emerged in his mind.

Since the other party is in a weak state, doesn't that mean I have a chance...

"No, let's refine the zombies first."

The Taoist temple currently has no shortage of cannon fodder, it only lacks stronger zombies, at least zombies that can easily defeat Chudan and stand on their own.

Xu Yang planned to use Ghost Flame, Golden Eyed Eagle, and Red-faced Yaksha as models, and the flesh and bodies of other monsters as nutrients or other parts.

Then he used the soldier cave as a blessed place and refined an unprecedented giant zombie.

This is Xu Yang’s ambition.

It would be best if this zombie could be able to enter and exit the underworld, thus paving the way for the search for the Three Lords' lineage.

"Old land master, while the temple is expanding, you should inspect the underworld more often to see if you can find the location of the Three Lords' Daoist lineage."

Wherever the temple covers, the local land god will be extremely safe in the underworld.

"Go to the county government. I plan to build a temple for you there so that you can search the underworld more easily."

"I will definitely find out where the three gentlemen are."

The old landowner racked his brains but could not remember where the so-called Three Kings appeared in ancient times. Could it be that there are ancient demon kings in the world that he doesn't know about?

strangeness……

After giving the instructions, Xu Yang followed the old land god into the underworld.

He held the Yin Earth in his hand and used his spiritual power to communicate through the Yin Earth channel.

Wow! !

A dark and sinister aura gushed out from the ground. The next moment, Xu Yang disappeared and appeared in the stone temple in the underworld.

The temple is old, with an altar standing, incense and candles burning all year round. The ancient statues of the land god and the colorful pictures add an eerie atmosphere.

Beside the altar, a soil snake formed by the earth's energy tightly entangled a ghost flame.

Xu Yang's arrival woke the man up.

"Xu Yang!! I will kill you!!"

Gui Yan struggled violently, and the earth snakes wrapped around his body kept breaking and recovering.

The brother and sister both hated this man very much.

If it weren't for Xu Yang, the two would still be living happily together until now.

"I'm tired of hearing it. Can you give me some new words?" Xu Yang was speechless.

Without waiting for Gui Yan to answer, he stepped forward and knocked the man unconscious.

There is no need for this person to stay.

Xu Yang looked up and down at the monster body, and the old land god followed beside him.

"I have to say, the demon's physique is indeed strong."

"Yes, it is suitable for the Great Sage to refine corpses."

The old landowner echoed from the side.

"The demonic power is abundant." Xu Yang said.

"Indeed, the Great Sage can be used to raise ghosts and make elixirs." The old landowner has been immersed in the officialdom for many years.

"Huh, you're still a virgin." Xu Yang was a little surprised.

This demon man is even more self-disciplined than herself. It seems that the relationship between the two siblings is real.

"...Is the Great Sage going to collect essence?" The old man's hair stood on end. He suddenly remembered that he seemed to be a thousand-year-old boy. Could it be...

At this moment, Gui Yan just woke up and almost fainted when he heard these horrifying words.

This devil is attracted to both men and women?

Should I and Xiang'er...

"If you want to kill him, just kill him. Why humiliate a hero?" Gui Yan's voice trembled slightly.

Xu Yang laughed and scolded, "Get lost! What kind of devil do you think I am? Don't worry, Gui Yan, I will at most turn you into a zombie and will not humiliate you."

Originally, Gui Yan would be furious when he heard this.

But having just escaped the fate of becoming a cauldron, he suddenly felt that at least being refined into a zombie was more dignified.

Xu Yang transferred Gui Yan to the morgue.

The morgue was packed with coffins everywhere, and the dank odor was so thick that people couldn't open their eyes.

There are demons here, as well as enemies who once offended Xu Yang.

To this day, all those who offended him back then have become "brothers" of Jiuyou Temple without exception.

"Prepare to refine the corpse."

Xu Yang transformed into a golden-eyed eagle, split the Tao seed into two, and sealed them into the bodies of Ghost Flame and the golden-eyed eagle.

Start refining the most powerful Taoist divine corpse.

After some time, he moved into the cave where the soldiers were stored.

From then on, he lived in seclusion.

There is no sun or moon in the cave, and five years have passed in the world.
