The Xu family follows Taoism and seeks longevity

Yunanfang City.

Xu Zhiyu, along with many other monks, walked out of the door of an extremely magnificent attic.

In the bustling crowd, he looked very ordinary and there was nothing eye-catching about him.

If it were in the original Xuanzhou Continent, a Jindan cultivator, even one at the first level of Jindan, would attract huge attention if he went in or out of any place.

But it’s different here. This is a super large market town in the southern part of Zuzhou, with millions of cultivators coming and going.

Zifu is no better than a dog, and golden elixirs are everywhere.

This statement is not an exaggeration, but a good interpretation of the current situation.

Among the more than two hundred cultivators who walked out with Xu Zhiyu, there were more than seventy Jindan Zhenren.

A medium-sized auction had just been held here, and he attended the event after having been hanging out in Yu'nan Market for nearly three months.

Zuzhou was truly extraordinary. During the three months he stayed in the market, he basically visited all the large and medium-sized stores in the market, led by a broker he paid for.

The final harvest also made him very satisfied. He collected six more precious materials needed to refine his own magic weapon. Together with those he had collected before, he now had a total of eighteen, which was exactly half.

However, the next half was not so easy to collect, and he spent a lot of spirit stones.

He just heard from the most famous gossipmonger in Yu'nanfang City that at this auction, there would be a material he needed, called Dark Thunderbird Bone.

He was once again enlightened at the auction, a medium-sized auction held every year.

He saw the auction of the Foundation Establishment Pill, and it was not the finale item, but a common second-level auction item, which was auctioned off in bottles of ten, and there were twelve auctions in total.

Just when he thought he had broadened his horizons, what happened next surprised him even more, because the finale of the third-level auction items was the Purple Yang Pill and the top-grade Purple Qi Talisman, with ten copies of each sold.

There are no restrictions. As long as you can afford the spirit stones, the item is yours.

He suppressed himself again and again and did not spend spirit stones to auction the two spiritual objects, because he could not return to his family for the time being, and the money he got from the auction would not be of much use. It would be better to wait until he was about to return to Xuanzhou Continent.

When the auction of the fourth-level spiritual objects reached the second half, he finally saw the auction of the dark thunderbird bones that he wanted.

But what he didn't expect was that what was auctioned was not the real thing, but the habitat map of the Dark Thunderbird. This disappointed him greatly, and he kept blaming the gossiper in his heart.

However, after thinking it over again and again, he still spent 3,300 medium-grade spirit stones to put the map into his pocket.

As for worrying about the authenticity of the map, there is no need to worry. The cultivator who commissioned the auction of such a map must undergo a conscience test by the auction house, which will be presided over by a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage.

Not only will they ask you whether the map is authentic, but also whether what you said is true. Finally, they will plant a restriction in the cultivator's sea of ​​consciousness.

What if the monk who took the picture of the blueprint rushed to the place and found that the facts did not match the map, and returned to the market to reveal the matter to the auction house? Then the monk who provided the map would be in misery and would be worse than death.

After leaving the auction house, Xu Zhiyu returned to the inn where he was temporarily staying. After taking out the map and erasing the restrictions, he began to study it carefully.

After finishing his research, he lowered his head for a long time without saying anything, and began to waver about whether he should go and look for the Dark Thunderbird himself.

Because the place where the dark thunderbirds live marked on the map is a full 600,000 miles away from Yu'nanfang City, which is basically close to the outer sea area of ​​the South China Sea.

Although the area is still under the jurisdiction of the Jiushi Sect, it is too remote and the order is not very good.

Pirates often appear there, and the sea environment there is extremely harsh, with hurricanes and tsunamis occurring at any time.

But after thinking it over again and again, he finally decided to go on this journey, simply because the dark thunderbird bones were too important to him.

It turns out that his natal magic weapon can be divided into three levels: high, medium and low according to the ability of the cultivator.

The lowest grade only requires twelve kinds of materials to be refined, the mid-range one requires twenty-four kinds of materials to be refined, and the highest grade naturally requires a full thirty-six kinds of materials to be refined.

However, no matter which level of life magic weapon it is, the dark thunder bird bone is one of the indispensable materials, so he must go there in person.

After making up his mind, he went directly to a shop that he had visited before, which specialized in selling sea boats, carefully selected a fourth-order sea boat, and then followed the map and headed towards his goal.

Fortunately, Xu Zhiyu did not encounter any harassment from sea beasts after entering the sea for tens of thousands of miles, and his progress was very smooth.

However, as he went deeper, Xu Zhiyu soon discovered that compared with before, the number of sea beasts appearing in the sea had increased significantly.

Originally he didn't care too much about it, thinking that he might have accidentally entered a place where sea beasts gathered, and there were just more monsters in there.

But out of caution, he released all his spiritual awareness, equivalent to that of a seventh-level Jindan cultivator, and observed the surrounding situation as much as possible.

Soon, he noticed that the number of sea beasts seemed to be increasing, to the point where they could no longer be explained by common sense.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation!
"What's going on? Did something happen in the underwater world that caused these sea beasts to escape?"

Xu Zhiyu continued to extend his spiritual sense, patrolling the surrounding area and making preparations in advance.

But even so, what is coming has come.

The fourth-order sea boat, which had been moving forward steadily, was suddenly hit by something and shook violently.

Xu Zhiyu raised his eyebrows and used his spiritual sense to investigate. He saw a huge fluorescent cuttlefish that suddenly surfaced from the water at some point, waving its long tentacles and violently slapping the fourth-order sea boat.

It was a fluorescent cuttlefish that was more than thirty feet long, and its size was comparable to his fourth-tier sea boat. If it was a little bigger, it would probably be able to drag the entire fourth-tier sea boat into the sea.

Xu Zhiyu first activated the sea boat's defense shield, then appeared on the deck in a flash, and then leaped into the sea to fight the hundred-meter-long fluorescent cuttlefish.

Crash.

The sea was surging and turbulent, stirred by the giant monster in the sea.

In just a few breaths, the originally surging sea surface gradually returned to calm, and the sea water was stained with large patches of blood. It was a third-grade top-quality deep-sea fluorescent cuttlefish. Xu Zhiyu easily killed it with a few moves, took out the demon pill and returned to the boat.

But this was just the beginning. Xu Zhiyu noticed that more deep-sea fluorescent cuttlefish began to emerge from the seabed. Among these deep-sea fluorescent cuttlefish, the largest one was even close to three hundred feet in size, enough to pose a threat to a fourth-order sea boat.

With so many fluorescent cuttlefish, even he had a hard time dealing with them.

Xu Zhiyu soared into the air, and the deep-sea fluorescent cuttlefish in the sea missed his target and began to swim wildly, extending its flexible tentacles out of the sea, trying to grab Xu Zhiyu as if to pick stars.

After easily dodging the attacks of these monsters, Xu Zhiyu summoned the palm thunder and then performed it with ease.

It transformed into countless bolts of lightning and pierced into the sea. In a few flashes, it exploded with astonishing killing power, moving back and forth in the sea, killing all the deep-sea fluorescent cuttlefish. The azure sea water turned even blood-red, and the smell of blood filled the nose. Many fluorescent cuttlefish corpses began to float on the sea.

After dealing with nineteen third-level fluorescent cuttlefish, he officially began his difficult journey. From time to time, sea beasts attacked him and were killed by him.

Due to the different growth environments, the sea beasts in Zuzhou are different from those in Xuanzhou.

Even if the sea beasts on Xuanzhou's side have reached the Nascent Soul stage, they will only become larger in size.

But it’s different in Zuzhou. After the sea beasts cultivate to the Purple Mansion realm, their appearance will slowly change and they will begin to evolve towards the appearance of humans.

There may not be any obvious changes in the Purple Mansion Stage, but it is very different in the Golden Core Stage. They have even become half-human, half-demon.

When he first saw this sea beast, he was so scared that he thought that the high-level monk had done something unspeakable to the beast, which gave birth to a monster. Later he realized that it was not the case.

And now Xu Zhiyu encountered this kind of half-demon attack again.

It was a humanoid demon bird, its body as black as ink, and it looked like a slender man with an aquiline nose and a pair of broad wings.

Before Xu Zhiyu got close, he had already spotted the other party. He originally wanted to go around it, but the half-demon was like a hungry wolf seeing a sheep, and immediately flapped its wings and killed him.

Seeing this, he was no longer polite. The other party was obviously looking for trouble, so he urged his magic power to condense into two lightning swords, and slashed directly at the other party. With one strike, he cut off a large number of the other party's feathers.

Just as he was about to strike out the third sword, the opponent had already flapped his wings, dodged with agility, and then began to attack him.

huh huh!
The large feathers were like blades, each one flashing a cold light and shooting towards them in an overwhelming manner.

Xu Zhiyu used his magic power to create a protective shield light, which blocked all the feathers with the clanging sound.

"As a practitioner with the attribute of thunder, and having mastered a good thunder technique, you do have the capital to be proud of yourself.

Unfortunately, he met me this time, hahahaha, thunder magic happens to be what I am good at, so let's have a competition.

But I still advise you not to waste your energy. It is better to surrender yourself, so that you can avoid some physical pain.

Don't worry, after I capture you, I won't let you suffer too much. I will bring you back to the tribe as soon as possible and provide you for the tribe members to enjoy."

After a few moves, the half-demon began to speak. He had already regarded Xu Zhiyu as his prey, and his tone was very arrogant.

"Really? That depends on your ability, you flat-haired beast. To be honest, I really like your pair of wings that can emit feathers.

After I kill you, I will separate them from your body with my own hands and keep them as my permanent collection."

Xu Zhiyu responded calmly. After the fight just now, he already had a general understanding of the opponent's strength.

Although the opponent was apparently a mid-level fourth-rank half-demon, and his rank was higher than his, his strength was just so-so. When he attacked just now, he was just testing and did not use his full strength.

"Human, since you are so eager to die, I will grant your wish."

The humanoid demon bird stood in the air and began to attack him in anger.

I saw his pair of broad wings spread out, and dark electric light began to surge all over his body, making a series of crackling sounds.

The originally moist air became dry due to the appearance of this dark thunder, and a small-scale storm appeared in the surrounding sky and earth. Several tornadoes rose into the sky from the sea, and the wind and clouds surged.

"Thunder-related innate magical power."

Originally he was still wondering about the other party's racial origin, but now seeing that the other party used thunder-attributed methods, Xu Zhiyu finally confirmed the origin of this half-demon.

A fourth-grade mid-quality dark thunder gray eagle.

Noticing that strong winds were blowing around him, the sky was dark, and lightning elements were gathering in the air, Xu Zhiyu would naturally not just stand by and watch, and he immediately counterattacked.

Now, let’s see whose lightning spell is better!

Purple arcs of lightning slowly rose in the palms of his left and right hands, quickly interweaving and merging.

Almost at the moment when the opponent flapped its wings and erupted with violent dark thunder, a demon-killing thunder lotus had already taken shape. Xu Zhiyu just moved forward gently and went straight to meet it.

"What kind of magic are you?"

Upon seeing the Demon-Slaying Thunder Lotus appear and revealing its terrifying and breathtaking power of thunder and lightning, Dark Thunder Gray Eagle's expression changed.

But now there is no time to dodge, so he can only continue to release his own innate magical powers to fight back.

"Don't be afraid, it's just a fourth-order low-grade magic demon-killing lightning lotus, but I think it's enough to kill you."

As Xu Zhiyu muttered to himself,

All of a sudden, there was a loud bang.

The dark lightning collided with the violent thunder lotus that was full of destructive power in the air, and the roar of thunder and the sound of explosion exploded at the same time.

Dark Thunder, the innate magical power of Dark Thunder Gray Eagle, is a hundred times more powerful than Yin Fire Thunder. A little bit of electric light is enough to tear a Jindan cultivator into pieces.

The Demon-Slaying Thunder Lotus is a spell attached to the sect's core power, the Shenxiao Sect, a super powerful sect. It is extremely powerful, and wherever it goes, it burns mountains and boils seas, leaving no grass to grow.

As soon as the two forces clashed, the surrounding sea areas of thousands of miles were affected at the same time. The energy surged for a moment, and the residual power of the explosion directly rolled up a huge wave.

A power clash of this level is enough to cause the earth to sink and the mountains to topple.

It was visible to the naked eye that after the dark thunder flashed a few times, the power was forcefully dispersed and completely crushed.

The power of the demon-killing magic thunder remained undiminished, and the aftermath of the explosion directly turned into a violent shock wave, continuing to move towards the location of the Dark Thunder Gray Eagle.

"No!"

After a desperate cry, the Dark Thunder Gray Eagle had no time to escape or resist, and was directly blown to pieces by the Demon-Destroying Thunder Lotus.

At this point, a powerful fourth-level mid-grade half-demon died at the hands of Xu Zhiyu.

However, he did not have time to be complacent about his powerful means, because according to his spiritual sense, there were five or six fourth-level sea beasts approaching quickly.

In order to avoid being surrounded, he first put the fourth-level sea boat into the storage ring, then performed the thunder escape technique and quickly disappeared from the spot. (End of this chapter)
