Chapter 30: Eight Hundred Miles of Mountains and Rivers, Eight Hundred Miles of Trials

Zhang Yuanzhu regained consciousness and returned to the house.

At this moment, the wolf-shaped mask no longer had the obscurity it had when it was first encountered, but instead brought a sense of closeness.

The mask fits snugly against the face, providing a warm and cool feeling.

At the same time, a gray wolf shadow appeared in Dantian, standing in the cloud-like sky-blue air.

With every inhalation and exhalation, the ice-blue aura would become purer, and even the energy and blood would surge a little more.

"This is 'Nuo Opera Witchcraft'. Even the most basic Nuo masks can have such an effect."

"Then what kind of scene would a Nuo mask made of real spiritual wood look like?"

Zhang Yuanzhu slowly lowered his palm, sensing the subtle changes in his body.

In addition to the gray wolf shadow in his dantian purifying his breath and blood, he also clearly felt a hidden energy in the wolf-head mask.

It is a means of comprehensively improving combat effectiveness during a fight, and a true life-saving technique.

Call ~
He let out a breath and felt a little relieved.

He finally passed the most difficult stage in the practice of the secret art, and he also had a real trump card.

A thought came to my mind.

The mask flowed like water, blending into the face and disappearing.

Zhang Yuanzhu did not stand up immediately, but looked inward.

The information on the mirror, which is entwined with various divine lights, has undergone significant changes.

Master of Supernatural Powers: Zhang Yuanzhu
Control: [Ordinary] Jade Pendant (Ability: Pure Heart)

[Level 1] Xuanshui Ruler (Attribute: Brute Force)

Realm: Qi Condensation (64.23%)

Gongfa: "Five Zang Organs Leading Ice to Transform into Yuan Gong"

"In just twenty days, I've already completed most of the Qi Condensation Stage. Unfortunately, the Yellow Bud Pills have all been used up, so my cultivation speed will slow down considerably from now on."

Zhang Yuanzhu's analysis.

But even if it's slow, it'll only take a month.

While thinking, he stood up and looked out the window.

The sun rises, casting golden light and painting the mountains.

It's like a dream, with an indescribable splendor.

Crunch!

Push open the door and walk out.

Many disciples walking on the mountainside came into view.

Some of them went to the back mountain, while others went to the top of the mountain, but most of them sat cross-legged directly in front of the princess's house.

No one went to the Taoist temple to attend the morning class, or rather, the morning class had been changed to once every five days since ten days ago, so there was no morning class today.

And the moment Zhang Yuanzhu appeared, all eyes were fixed on him, mixed with various emotions.

Ignoring all the looks, he walked towards the Taoist temple. He had some questions to ask the instructor.

Soon, the solemn and spacious Taoist temple came into view.

Go forward and knock on the door.

Boom!Boom!
"Disciple Zhang Yuanzhu, I come to visit you."

"Enter!"

With a low voice, the door slowly opened.

An empty venue was revealed, and Instructor Yan was sitting in the front row, drinking tea.

Zhang Yuanzhu walked into the Taoist temple, closed the door, and then walked step by step to his own cushion.

Bow with fists and salute.

"Master Yan, excuse me for disturbing you."

"Sit down first."

Taoist Master Yan pointed at the cushion and spoke with a smile.

His expression was not as serious as when he taught in the past, but rather kind.

He was more patient with this disciple who had good aptitude, amazing comprehension, and was extremely hardworking.

After seeing the disciple sit down, he asked:
"Have you encountered any confusion during your practice?"

"Master Yan, I want to know where I can get the spiritual wood."

Zhang Yuanzhu planned to cast a real Nuo mask to purify his breath and blood to the greatest extent, and then strive to reach the realm of Qi training.

The biggest difficulty is obtaining spiritual wood.

Upon hearing this, Old Taoist Yan frowned slightly, but did not reply immediately. Instead, he drank the tea in his cup. The atmosphere in the Taoist temple became a little solemn for a moment.

After the tea was finished, Taoist Yan slowly responded:
"I have a collection of spiritual wood on me, but because of the oath I made before coming to Daofeng, I cannot offer you any personal rewards."

Looking at Zhang Yuanzhu's still calm expression, Old Daoist Yan nodded secretly and continued:
"Another way is to trade with other disciples. Some disciples from cultivation families may have spiritual wood."

Zhang Yuanzhu shook his head. Given his current situation, it was impossible for him to trade with the disciples on Daofeng.

Daofeng rules also do not allow for forced seizure.

"It's not the Dao Peak under our feet, but the disciples who are practicing on other peaks that are being recruited this time."

"I have enough spirit coins, so I should be able to trade with you."

"Disciples from other peaks?"

Zhang Yuanzhu murmured, his eyes bright.

This is indeed one way.

This time, the Yuan Kingdom alone recruited more than 7,000 disciples, not to mention the Qian Kingdom, which is also under the command of the Immortal Weapon Valley.

"We can enter and exit Daofeng at will."

"Once you enter the Qi Condensation Realm, you can come and go freely, but you can only travel within the cultivation range of your group of disciples - the 800-li mountain and river."

"By the way, beneath Dao Peak, within the mountains and rivers, there are also spiritual trees, spiritual objects, and precious medicines growing. You can rob them, fight, and even..."

"Fight!"

Taoist Master Yan looked serious, no longer as kind as he had been at the beginning.

Zhang Yuanzhu placed his palms flat on his knees, his eyes full of thought as he analyzed Master Yan's words word by word.

After a moment, he stood up and saluted.

"Thank you, Master Yan, for your guidance."

Then, he walked out of the Taoist temple.

As he stepped forward, one idea after another flooded his mind as he planned the best way to profit.

Gradually, the pair of pupils became colder and a hint of murderous intent emerged.

He turned and walked towards the back mountain.

The red sun shines across the sky, and golden light spreads across the earth.

In the tall woods, Zhang Yuanzhu leaned against a tree trunk, looking at the falling leaves.

Crunch!Crunch!
The sound of footsteps on leaves came from behind him.

His expression remained unchanged as he looked at the pretty girl who walked out from behind the tree.

"Junior Sister Zhou Zhi, you're here."

"I don't know what you want from me, brother?"

The girl stopped, with confusion in her eyes.

"I'm about to leave Daofeng and go look for some spiritual objects." Zhang Yuanzhu was straightforward without any hesitation.

"Senior Brother is going down the mountain!"

Zhou Zhi exclaimed, her expression solemn, and then tried to persuade:

"Brother, there are monsters and demonic beasts at the foot of the mountain. Word has spread among the disciples that it is extremely dangerous."

"A spirit? A demon beast?"

There was a flash of surprise in Zhang Yuanzhu's eyes. He really didn't know this news.

Spirits, monsters, and beasts are all demons that have embarked on a journey of spiritual cultivation.

The difference is that monsters are intelligent but weak, while monsters are ferocious but stupid.

Call ~
"Thanks!"

This news can avoid many risks.

But why didn't Master Yan tell him?

Zhang Yuanzhu's eyes were deep as he pondered various possibilities.

"I will go down the mountain tomorrow morning."

Zhou Zhi frowned slightly. Since she couldn't persuade the other party, she didn't want to try to persuade him anymore.

"Brother, I will keep this secret and not tell anyone."

"No, I want you to spread the news so that all the disciples know."

Zhang Yuanzhu stood straight with his back straight, his eyes fierce and cold as he spoke word by word:
"I will eliminate all those who harbor evil intentions!"

Zhou Zhi was horrified, feeling an extremely deep murderous intent, as if she was facing the most ferocious monster.

It made her tremble inside, her body shaking, and she wanted to escape.
