A place to stay
Whether to go north or west, Zhang Xuezhou's physical condition forced him to make a choice.
Unable to recover about 50% of his Law Power, Zhang Xuezhou found it extremely difficult to pilot the Imperial Shuttle to the North, carrying the new emperor. He also didn't want to do such hard and tiring work.
With his jade wings spread, he had already soared westward into the darkness.
If no other way to break the Yin-Yang barrier can be found, finding a woman to replace A-Qiao will become a necessity, and to achieve this, it is necessary to exchange magical Technique Method with Zheng Wukong.
As for meeting the Venerable One, there needs to be an opportunity for the Confucian School to spread the Yang Corporeal Soul Incarnation Technique, so that Zhang Xuezhou can go and deliver the good news, and perhaps even seek a quick way to master the Yang Corporeal Soul Incarnation Technique.
Zhang Xuezhou had a clear plan in mind, and he didn't appear rushed or chaotic in his work.
The century-long pact, which had previously seen low participation, was brought up again, and Zhang Xuezhou also planned to watch the excitement and see if he could obtain one or two Life-Creating Fortune Pill through the century-long pact.
His Demon Power was locked by about 20%, and if he did not seek a high-speed flying contest, Zhang Xuezhou could fly between four and six thousand miles.
His time wasn't wasted on his journey; once his Demon Power was exhausted, he would find a place to rest and recuperate, using the Tenfold Complete Great Tonic Pill to activate the Nine Revolutions Qi Uniting Technique.
"Next trip, we'll go to Broken Soul Ridge to rest and recuperate!"
Zhang Xuezhou stuffed the Tenfold Complete Great Tonic Pill into his mouth like pouring beans, and quickly mastered the sixth stage of the Nine Revolutions Qi Uniting Technique.
When the Nine Revolutions Qi Uniting Technique is advanced by the power of elixirs, it is nothing more than repetition and repetition. In principle, there is no difference between the first, sixth, and even ninth turns. However, the effects of the elixirs bring about changes in the body, resulting in each turn being more profound than the last, and also bringing about a qualitative change in the body.
Like a rough iron block, through constant hammering and forging, it will eventually become a finely crafted sword.
The Tenfold Complete Great Tonic Pill, which are believed to prolong life, permeate the body, constantly guiding changes and spreading throughout every part of the body, causing different developments in the muscles, blood, and internal organs.
It was like an alternative layer of resistance. Zhang Xuezhou felt as if something was growing within his body, which even made him want to poke his body with the Fish Intestine Sword to see what the effect of the sixth transformation was.
But as soon as he thought about how going to Broken Soul Ridge for the adjustment period would allow him to attempt the seventh transformation, he quickly abandoned this soon-to-expire test.
"The sixth transformation used sixty low-grade pills, one hundred mid-grade pills, and three high-grade pills; the seventh transformation will require the use of the supreme-grade Tenfold Complete Great Tonic Pill!"
The medicine's potent effects allowed Zhang Xuezhou to smoothly advance the Nine Revolutions Qi Uniting Technique. After a night, he had completed the sixth revolution of the Nine Revolutions Qi Uniting Technique, and his Demon Power had recovered by nearly half.
Due to the limited conditions in the mountains and forests, Zhang Xuezhou's immense Demon Power was difficult to recover quickly, but he didn't pay too much attention to it.
As he spread his jade wings again, Zhang Xuezhou calculated the amount of pills he might need for the seventh transformation.
He flapped his jade wings, and felt a sticky, supple feeling inside his hard, iron-like body after the flapping.
The sticky feeling wasn't great, but Zhang Xuezhou thought it would be very useful.
For example Chunyu Tiying underwent a test after entering the sixth stage. She found that the blood flowed out very slowly after being stabbed, even if a major artery was stabbed, the blood would only flow slowly, thus providing an opportunity for treatment.
Chunyu Tiying said that with her seventh transformation, she could reattach severed limbs. Even if her head was cut off, she wouldn't die as long as it was reattached quickly. But that doesn't seem like a very good test!
Although the effects of the Nine Revolutions Qi Uniting Technique become more powerful with each level, it also becomes increasingly difficult to test its limits.
Zhang Xuezhou didn't know where the Medical School derived these efficacy indicators, and he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. He wanted to verify them, but he was also a little afraid of testing them to death.
"Divine Lord Zhenyuan!"
As he swiftly leaped forward, Zhang Xuezhou noticed the terrain, which resembled a knife's edge, and quickly put aside his thoughts, focusing his attention on the hilt of the knife in that area.
After searching for a while, Zhang Xuezhou discovered the secret site of Broken Soul Ridge, which had been transformed into a Daoist temple.
The Daoist Divine Lord Zhenyuan bears a resemblance to Li Shaojun's Yunyi Daoist Temple. This is probably because Divine Lord Zhenyuan copied it to save time, and the completion speed was also very fast.
Zhang Xuezhou could also see dozens of Supi people who had been brought in to work.
He shouted, which immediately drew the attention of the Supi people, who craned their necks to look.
As soon as Zhang Xuezhou folded his wings and landed, the Supi people knelt down and kowtowed, begging for blessings and protection.
What brings you to my place?
The voice of Divine Lord Zhenyuan echoed from the main hall of the Daoist temple, and Zhang Xuezhou then saw Divine Lord Zhenyuan, dressed in a gray robe, step out of the gate.
"I'm on my way to Western Kunlun to attend the Centennial Agreement, and I'll happen to be passing through your area," Zhang Xuezhou said.
"Luckily, my Daoist temple was completed on time," Divine Lord Zhenyuan shook his head and said, "Otherwise, if you had told me this back in Kunlun, I would have been worried about Xuan Nu causing trouble!"
"I'm also having a headache figuring out how to present gifts to all the ladies," Zhang Xuezhou, shaking his head.
Zhang Xuezhou took a few jugs of wine from the eunuch's office. This small gift seemed somewhat perfunctory, and Zhang Xuezhou felt uneasy about its value.
Zhenyuan Shenjun was already prepared; his tip-off was meant to let Xuan Nu and the others get beaten up.
Neither the former nor the latter is easy to do.
"Xuan Nu and the others prefer to associate with people who possess genuine skills," Divine Lord Zhenyuan said, stroking his beard. "If you can withstand even a single move or two from them, that's far more valuable than any gift!"
"Without reaching the Sole Self Realm, how could I possibly withstand even a single move from you ladies?" Zhang Xuezhou said. "Besides, my Law Power has been locked away and hasn't been released yet, limiting the effectiveness of my Technique Method!"
"That's really difficult!"
Divine Lord Zhenyuan looked at Zhang Xuezhou and felt that Kunlun Sacred Land had probably just brought Zhang Xuezhou back to participate in the Centennial Agreement to make up the numbers.
Once the Kunlun Sacred Land loses face, Zhang Xuezhou's life will become even more difficult.
If you want Divine Lord Zhenyuan to use some means to help, Divine Lord Zhenyuan really has no way.
"Let's not talk about those headaches," Zhang Xuezhou waved his hand and said, "I came here for two reasons. First, I wanted to find a temporary place to stay to recover my Demon Power. Second, I wanted to use the Spiritual Qi of this secret place to protect myself when I tried to break through to a new Technique Method. Third, the Great Han Dynasty has some new Technique Method, and I'd like to discuss them with you and ask for a copy of the results!"
"I knew you wouldn't come without a reason!"
Zhang Xuezhou entered the Daoist temple and stated his purpose directly. Divine Lord Zhenyuan couldn't help but nod, feeling that it was a good thing to communicate with Zhang Xuezhou so frankly.
"The main hall of my Daoist temple is the core of the formation and the best place to draw in the earth's energy. It is extremely suitable for cultivation and preaching. You will know this if you sit on that futon and carefully sense it," said Divine Lord Zhenyuan.
"Good!"
What Divine Lord Zhenyuan said was true; Zhang Xuezhou had also witnessed the Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Formation.
The best place for cultivation in this Daoist temple is indeed in the main hall. If you trace the past, this is also the location where the poisonous tree of Broken Soul Ridge grows.
Zhang Xuezhou borrowed a futon and sat down. He felt that the speed at which his Demon Power recovered was several times faster than his normal recovery, which saved him from expending his body to recover.
"What kind of Technique Method can you still practice now that you've lost your Law Power?"
Zhang Xuezhou has accomplished the first of his three tasks. Divine Lord Zhenyuan is also curious about Zhang Xuezhou's second task, since he has never seen Technique Method that can be practiced even if it lacks Law Power.
Compared to the new Technique Method Zhang Xuezhou mentioned for the third matter, Divine Lord Zhenyuan felt more interested in the second matter.
But his initial curiosity quickly faded.
Upon seeing Zhang Xuezhou display bottles of pills, Divine Lord Zhenyuan knew very well that this technique was out of reach for someone as poor as himself.
