Chapter 120: Hundred-year plan, counting the harvest, Soul Devouring Insects advance

Tianyang City.

In the Soul Hall, Elder Li Ya, who was sitting cross-legged on the Soul Gathering Tree, suddenly opened his eyes, only to see that the soul lamps with the names of Old Monster Xin and the spy Tian Li written on them on the Soul Gathering Tree went out one after another.

Elder Li Ya's pupils shrank.

That’s all for others.

Old Monster Xin is a second-level formation master and has soul-eating insects to protect himself. Ordinary people cannot trap him. In addition, he has the tribe's secret escape technique, so even if he encounters a foundation-building cultivator, he still has a chance to escape.

How could the master and the disciple die one after another?

Even the spies who went to track down the whereabouts of the master and apprentice were killed:
"What happened?"

Could it be that those old guys in the Yunteng tribe couldn't help but take action?
But they had just signed a peace agreement and there would be no more wars in the next ten years. Li Ya quickly rejected this idea. In that case, the only possible way was for foreigners to invade.

Elder Li Ya could no longer sit still.

Since he was able to kill Xin Laoguai, a second-level formation master, the invader was likely to be at the foundation-building stage, so he immediately ordered a city-wide curfew.

Not long after leaving the Soul Palace.

Immediately, other spies came to report:

"Elder Liya, there was a fierce fight in the direction of Taiyun Valley."

Taiyun Valley?!

Elder Li Ya dodged immediately.

The whole person turned into a rainbow light and rushed out of Tianyang City. After about half an hour, the rainbow light fell above Taiyun Valley.

At this time, the battle below had already ended.

Opposite him, a green rainbow also rushed over from a distance. The person coming was Elder Yun from the Yunteng tribe. Elder Yun bowed from a distance and said:

"Brother Liya, you just arrived too?"

Elder Li Ya nodded slightly.

After the two landed.

Elder Yun's consciousness quickly swept across Taiyun Valley. He waved his sleeves and saw several damaged formation flags and formation plates falling into his hands. Elder Yun identified the formation pattern and combined a few fragments. His eyes narrowed slightly:
"It's actually the second-order Nine-bend Intestine Formation and the Inverted Five Elements Formation. Oh, that's not right. There's also a damaged Four-Elephant Black Tortoise Formation and Yellow Sand Formation at the innermost part."

Speaking of which.

Elder Yun paused.

Looking at Elder Liya:
"Brother Li Ya, if I remember correctly, this Four-Elephant Black Tortoise Formation is a set of formations commonly used by Xin Laoguai, the second-level formation master of your Tianyang tribe. What on earth happened in Taiyun Valley just now?"

Four sets of second-order magic arrays.

There must be something fishy here.

The two men's eyes fell on the cave with an open stone door in front of them at the same time. With a flash of their bodies, they both landed in the cave at the same time.

Inside the cave.

A tree pit comes into view.

There are still a few dead leaves on the ground.

Elder Li Ya's nose twitched, surprise flashed in his eyes, and he waved his sleeves, causing the fallen leaves on the ground to float in front of him. Upon closer inspection, he saw that there were patterns of cloud fungus on the leaves:

"Yunzhi tree!"

If he remembers correctly.

Tianli's soul lamp went out about two months earlier than Old Monster Xin's.

Between the electric light and flint.

Elder Li Ya immediately understood what had happened.

If he guessed correctly, Master Xin and his apprentice accidentally discovered that there was a Yunzhi tree that was about to mature in Taiyun Valley. In order to keep it for himself, Master Xin did not hesitate to kill Tianli first, and set up the Four Symbols Black Tortoise Formation outside the cave, trying to ambush others.

Never thought.

After all the efforts, he ended up losing both his money and his life:

"This old monster Xin is really something."

If the other party had informed the tribe immediately after discovering the Yunzhi fruit, such a thing would never have happened. They could have set up a dragnet in Taiyun Valley to capture foreigners alive, sign a master-servant contract, and use them for their tribe!
This is a great thing to strengthen the tribe.

A Yunzhi tree can continuously cultivate more foundation-building monks. Secondly, the captured foreign second-level formation master can also bring more information about the Great Zhou to the tribe, and plant this spy in the family:
"Confused, really confused!!"

No wonder the elder didn’t give the Foundation Establishment Pill to Old Monster Xin back then.

Obviously.

The elders had already seen through the true nature of Old Monster Xin. Once he successfully established his foundation, he would most likely sell out the entire tribe just for his own profit.

Elder Yun saw that Elder Li Ya was very angry, and glanced at the battlefield around him. He roughly estimated the situation, but deep worry flashed between his brows:

"Brother Li Ya, the hands of the Great Zhou cultivators have now reached the doorstep of our tribe. If this continues, I am afraid that sooner or later we will follow in the footsteps of the Tianlong tribe and the Niuteng tribe.

And I just received a report from a spy.

The Yunshan tribe in the southwest of our East Wilderness, near Huainan Prefecture in Jingzhou, has been completely slaughtered.

Now the Great Zhou has sent people to wipe out the remaining Yunshan tribesmen, and I heard that a Yunshan County will be established there.

Soon, a new ninth-rank family will move in.

The Great Zhou is constantly expanding into our Eastern Wasteland, but our tribes are still leaderless and fighting each other. If this continues, I am afraid that in the end our Eastern Wasteland will also become the world of the Great Zhou."

because of this.

The two major tribes signed a peace agreement.

Elder Liya also sighed, but he looked towards the direction of Penglai Mountain and sent a message to Elder Yun with some hope:

"In less than two years, the Penglai Mountain Ruins, which opens once every hundred years, will be opened again. As long as our two tribes work together to obtain the foundation-building spiritual medicines in the spiritual medicine garden, our tribe will be able to add a few more foundation-building cultivators. Even if the Great Zhou continues to expand, we will have a little more foundation."

Mention the Penglai Mountain ruins.

There was a glimmer of hope in both of their eyes.

For this day.

Their two major tribes have been preparing for a long time.

the other side.

After Fu Changsheng asked Yu Qingru to drive the flying boat at full speed away from Taiyun Valley, he turned around and flew southwest, which is the border between Huainan Prefecture in Jingzhou and Donghuang.

One reason is to avoid the search by the Yunteng and Tianyang tribes.

Secondly, Kuili Mountain is right on the edge of Huainan Prefecture in Jingzhou, and he also needs to dig up the three-colored soil in the mountain and bring it back to his clan.

The flying boat traveled for a day and a night.

Make sure no one from the tribe is chasing you.

The three of them chose a secluded cave to rest.

After setting up the magic circle.

Fu Changsheng didn't hesitate. He slapped his storage bag, and with a flash of light, a box containing two cloud mushroom fruits floated towards Yu Qingru:

"Miss Qingru, according to the agreement, we will split the four Yunzhi fruits on the tree in half. Please open the box and take a look."

"No need to look at it. How can I not trust Fellow Daoist Fu's character?"

Yu Qingru put the box into the storage bag without checking it, and said seriously with a serious expression:
"Speaking of which, if it weren't for you, Daoist Fu, who suggested setting up the formation in advance, we would not only fail to obtain the Yunzhi Fruit, but we might also die in the battle. In the battle of Taiyun Valley, it was Daoist Fu who personally killed the formation master. We two grandfathers and grandchildren have remembered this favor. In the future, if Daoist Fu has any problems, just let us know. We, the grandfather and grandchildren, will definitely help you with all our strength."

"Miss Qingru, you are too kind."

If the other party had not generously told him the address of the Yunzhi tree, he would not have been able to get the Yunzhi fruit. This was supposed to be a win-win cooperation.

The two of them chatted with each other.

There was a flash of hesitation in Grandma Yu's eyes.

Fu Changsheng's combat performance in Wanguiyuan made her look at him with new eyes, otherwise she would not have allowed him to come to Taiyun Valley together. However, unlike Wanguiyuan, Fu Changsheng's performance in the battle of Taiyun Valley impressed even her, a veteran cultivator at the peak of Qi training.

Especially the purple divine light that Fu Changsheng summoned. Its terrifying power would kill even a foundation-building cultivator if he was not prepared.

Fu Changsheng's potential goes far beyond building a foundation.

But she is already exhausted, and her cultivation is only one tenth of what it was. Otherwise, she would not have performed so poorly in Taiyun Valley. In a few years, I am afraid that her meridians will be completely blocked. If Qingru cannot successfully build a foundation, after her death, the Yu family will purge her followers, and Qingru will find it difficult to gain a foothold in the Yu family. She is likely to be sold cheaply to a ninth-grade family mansion as a concubine of a foundation-building cultivator. The current head of the Yu family is blinded by lust, and relying on his own peak Qi training cultivation, he will not listen to any advice.

While these old guys are still alive, they can hold the Yu family back a little, but once they die, the Yu family will probably be swallowed up by the covetous Qiu family immediately.

and so.

She had to find a way for Qingru to survive before she died.

Granny Yu's eyes fell on Fu Changsheng, and her expression became amiable, like an old lady from the neighborhood. Seeing Fu Changsheng was about to take out Old Monster Xin's storage bag, she hurriedly shook her head and said,

"Changsheng, you killed this old monster Xin yourself, so his storage bag should be yours. Also, you should bring the Yunzhi tree back to your clan and plant it."

That being the case.

Fu Changsheng was not polite either.

Immediately he said:
"Grandma Yu, I have some important business to attend to and will stay in the East Wilderness for a few days. If you have something else to do, why don't you return to Pingshan County first?"

Yu Qingru was about to nod.

But was stopped by Grandma Yu:

"Changsheng, although you have a good fighting ability now, it is too risky to travel alone in the Eastern Wasteland. Wherever you want to go, we two grandparents will accompany you. It is always safer to have more people."

Grandma Yu was very enthusiastic.

The two of them were formation masters. He knew nothing about the situation in Kuili Mountain, so he didn't hesitate and bowed:
"Grandma Yu, if that's the case, then I'll have to trouble you two to accompany me to Mount Kuili."

After agreeing on a time.

The cave was divided into two.

Fu Changsheng was on the inside, and just then he began to count the harvest from Taiyun Valley.

One shot storage bag.

A flash of glow.

The corpse of Old Monster Xin appeared in a flash.

He just swung his sword, and a flash of sword light passed across the opponent's neck, and a big head rolled down immediately. After sealing it in a box, he called Qiu Chan and Xiao Qing out to eat.

Old Monster Xin is a second-level formation master.

According to the bounty offered by the imperial court, this head is worth ten imperial merit points. Together with the previous eighty, the total has reached ninety. The minimum merit point requirement for promotion to a noble family will soon be achieved.

Also.

The most valuable things are the two Yunzhi fruits.

That was the group of first-grade, mid-grade soul-eating insects.

Being in the wilderness without any relatives to protect him, he would not rashly take the Yunzhi Fruit at this time. He would naturally wait until he went to Kuili Mountain and returned to his tribe to refine it.

Fu Changsheng had an idea.

The Purple Fairy Tower surrounded by clouds was suspended in front of him.

On the first floor of the tower, countless soul-eating insects were still lying on the ground in a daze. Because he had learned from the previous experience, when he asked Qiu Chan to use the Soul-Rotating Wave this time, he controlled the power and only stunned the soul-eating insects, but not killed them.

If you want to cultivate these soul-eating insects to the middle stage of the first stage, it will cost countless manpower and resources.

He planned to concentrate his efforts on cultivating the soul-eating insects on the second floor of the tower to the peak of the first level ...

buzzing.

A first-stage late soul-eating insect flew out and followed Fu Changsheng's instructions to enter the first floor. Seeing its kind all over the ground, the soul-eating insect immediately became excited. After receiving Fu Changsheng's devouring order, it immediately flapped its wings and pounced on them, devouring them two at a time:
"I hope this Soul Devouring Bug can evolve to the peak of the first stage after devouring it."

This way.

After the Penglai Mountain ruins are opened.

He then had an extra trump card.

For now.

The little green snake and the autumn cicada seemed to have hit a bottleneck. One demon and one ghost servant wanted to break through to the second level, but it was obviously impossible to do so simply by devouring corpses. It was like a cultivator at the peak of Qi training whose mana was already full, and if he wanted to break through, he could only rely on foundation-building spiritual objects.

Regardless of whether it is the advancement of the second-level monster or the second-level breakthrough of the ghost cultivator, he currently has no corresponding methods or tricks.

For now.

His primary goal was to break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage first, so Xiaoqing and Qiuchan's subsequent cultivation could only be taken care of later.

After the first-stage late-stage Soul-Eating Insect devoured all of its first-stage mid-stage counterparts, it turned into a golden cocoon and hung upside down in the tower. Seeing his aura growing stronger, Fu Changsheng's eyes showed a bit more hope.

After putting away the Yunhuan Zixian Tower.

He then took out Old Monster Xin's storage bag, scanned it with his spiritual sense, and saw a lot of miscellaneous things inside.

among them.

It might be because the formation master needed mid-grade spirit stones to set up the formation, so there were actually 32 mid-grade spirit stones stored in one box, which translated to 3,200 low-grade spirit stones. This amount of spirit stones alone was a considerable income.

"Hey, there is actually another formation."

Fu Changsheng pointed at the four formation flags and four formation plates in the box, which turned out to be a maze formation:

"It just makes up for the missing part of the inverted five elements formation."

He immediately started to perform the ritual by using his fingers to cast the spell.

A few hours later.

As the four formation flags and plates fell, a white mist suddenly rose around him.

A satisfied smile appeared on Fu Changsheng's lips.

Also.

In the storage bag of Old Monster Xin.

He also found a book on taming soul-eating insects with his own annotations, as well as a book called "Complete Explanation of Formations". The first half of the book was ancient Chinese, while the second half contained his own experience and insights on formations:

"This "Complete Solution to Formation Techniques" is quite good."

It is most suitable to serve as the clan's treasury.

The thought just came to mind.

A familiar mechanical voice suddenly sounded in his sea of ​​consciousness:
"Ding"

"You have killed a second-level array master of an alien race for your clan, accumulated ten imperial merits, and obtained one hundred clan contribution points."

One hundred?!
Fu Changsheng saw this number.

His eyes lit up.

Just when he thought the panel had disappeared.

Followed by.

The mechanical voice in the sea of ​​consciousness sounded again:
"You bought a copy of 'The Complete Explanation of Formations' for your clan, and received twelve clan contribution points."

Followed by.

on the panel.

The family contribution value changed from twenty-eight to one hundred and twenty-eight, and then to one hundred and forty.

In other words.

He can exchange for seventy pieces of information, or accumulate another sixty family contribution points and choose to double the lottery once.

Seeing that the family contribution value was replenished again, Fu Changsheng felt a little more secure for some reason.

"what?"

His spiritual sense swept through Old Monster Xin’s storage bag.

However, in a corner, there was a box with a white background and black patterns. There were many prohibitions on the box. It seemed that Old Monster Xin attached great importance to it:
"What on earth is this?"

Fu Changsheng couldn't help but feel his heart beating fast.

The thought of exchanging information was temporarily put aside.
