Chapter 235: Spiritual Seed Sprouting
Niu Liang was originally an ordinary hunter living at the foot of Weiyang Mountain. Twenty years ago, when he went up the mountain to hunt, he was accidentally chased by a wild boar and fell off a cliff.

Fortunately, he was not dead, and even found a body and some lost cultivation techniques beside a pond under the cliff.

By practicing according to that technique, Niu Liang was lucky enough to become a cultivator.

It was in the limelight for a while.

Unfortunately, Weiyang Mountain is just a small place in the Wei Kingdom of Tianyang Territory, and it is a thousand miles away from the nearest monastic sect, the Yanxia Sect.

After becoming a cultivator, he was determined to enter a sect to practice, and for this purpose he did not hesitate to travel across mountains and rivers to reach the Yanxia Sect.

Unfortunately, due to his low aptitude, he was rejected by the Yanxia Sect, and even by the more distant Luoyu Sect, Yinlei Mountain and other sects.

With no other options, he could only become a casual cultivator and has been struggling ever since.

After twenty years, his cultivation level barely reached the sixth level of Qi training.

Among mortals, he is an immortal master, revered by countless people.

But among the monks, he can only be considered at the lowest level.

Two years ago, a foundation-building deacon named Zhang from Yanxia Sect made no progress in his cultivation due to his old age and having been seriously injured during a sect mission.

Feeling disheartened, he brought his clansmen to Weiyang Mountain to expand and form the Weiyang Zhang family, a family of cultivators.

In the Wei State, there are countless such monastic families, and their number is very large.

Seeing that he was a disciple of the Yanxia Sect, Niu Liang took the initiative to join him and sought a job as the manager of washing spiritual sand.

He also received a monthly salary of fifty spirit sands, and the foundation-building cultivator in the clan would occasionally explain to him some of the difficulties on the path of cultivation.

Therefore, Niu Liang has adapted very well to life in the Zhang family and is thinking of living there in his old age.

but……

Until today, after he snatched a piece of suspected magic weapon fragment from a small mortal sand miner, his mind began to become active.

After finally making it to night, he returned to his cave and carefully scouted the surroundings. After making sure that the gadgets he had set up had not been triggered, he carefully took out the broken bronze mirror to check.

"What on earth is this treasure?"

"It looks like a cracked part from some ancient mirror?"

Niu Liang looked at it carefully, his mind full of doubts.

As he said that, he took out his flying sword and tried to rub it on the broken mirror.

As he expected, the broken mirror had no scratches at all, but his flying sword was a little worn out.

"A treasure, absolutely a treasure!"

"My flying sword is a top-notch low-grade magical weapon. I didn't expect that there wouldn't even be a scratch on it..."

"It seems that we have to try other methods..."

As he said this, he slapped the storage bag, wanting to put the broken bronze mirror in it, but the broken bronze mirror did not react at all and did not move at all.

"The storage bag can't hold it? It's definitely a treasure!"

Niu Liang was studying the broken bronze mirror in private, but Zheng Yi had already withdrawn his mind from this strange world.

His first reaction was that the world over there was very dangerous.

As soon as he got there, he met a monk, and in order to get the bronze mirror, the monk killed a sand miner without saying a word.

The other sand miners were not surprised, and even another monk whose status was obviously higher than theirs just gave them a verbal warning without any punishment.

“It seems that the world over there belongs to a world of cultivation where cultivators are superior to others and mortals can kill them at will…”

"In the short term, I will not travel over there unless I have thoroughly investigated the world over there, or my strength has improved!"

Zheng Yi had an idea and thought that he could use this time to improve his strength.

In the following time, Zheng Yi practiced various magical instruments while keeping a close eye on Niu Liang's every move.

Half a month later, Zheng Yi received the White Lotus Mother storage bag sent by Xu Mujun.

When he poured it out, he found that there was not a single magic weapon, but only a large number of talismans, elixirs, spiritual sand and other common supplies for cultivators.

The most important thing is that there is also a cultivation method called "White Lotus Sutra".

This cultivation method is a method passed down by the White Lotus Sect, which can directly reach the Nascent Soul stage!
Even according to the records inside the scriptures, the "White Lotus Sutra" should have subsequent exercises, but unfortunately they have been lost.

After careful inspection, I found that practicing the "White Lotus Sutra" does not require any spiritual roots. Instead, it requires the practitioner's spirit to be extremely strong.

This is actually a technique specifically designed to cultivate a cultivator's spiritual thoughts!

It contains a lot of records on how to cultivate spiritual thoughts and various spiritual attack techniques, which are very strange.

It does not conflict with other exercises.

The simplest way is to use divine attack!
Relying on the "White Lotus Sutra", cultivators can even condense their spiritual thoughts during the Qi training stage. Whether it is controlling magic tools or attacking with spiritual thoughts, they are far superior to ordinary cultivators.

pity……

She met Xu Mujun who possessed the will of martial arts!

Any spiritual attacks and charms from the White Lotus Mother were completely ineffective in front of Xu Mujun, who had a strong martial arts will.

Even the magic fighting skills can be easily dispelled and disappear into thin air in the face of the will of martial arts.

However, for Zheng Yi, this "White Lotus Sutra" is just right for his practice.

Whether it is controlling the puppet Xuan Ye, or spiritual objects such as the Thousand Illusions Glass Painting, the Blood Moon Gu, and the Soul-Eating Insect, it consumes a lot of mental energy.

With the "White Lotus Sutra", he can transform his mental power into divine consciousness in advance, and he will be invincible!
In the next few months, he practiced the "Great Five Elements Fantasy World Art" and the "White Lotus Sutra" at the same time, as well as the blood sacrifice of the Nine Infants Fruit of Reincarnation.

Three months later, after a blood sacrifice of the Nine Infants Fruit of Reincarnation, during his routine inspection, he suddenly discovered something wrong.

The Nine Infants Fruit of Reincarnation...seems to have sprouted!

As he observed carefully, he saw a tiny sprout suddenly pop out from under the fruit in his hand, like a newly born root.

Zheng Yi was so excited that he wanted to cry, finally, finally there was movement!
Up to now, he has consumed a thousand drops of blood and a thousand years of life!
Only then did the Nine Infants Fruit of Reincarnation sprout!

One year of life was not wasted!
"Since the Samsara Nine Infants Fruit has sprouted, it proves that it can still grow on its own."

"But if I want to speed up the growth, I must rely on... essence and blood!" Thinking of the terrifying Samsara Nine Infants Fruit in the Lingchi world, Zheng Yi made a decision immediately.

It takes nine thousand years for the Nine Infants Fruit of Reincarnation to fully grow.

And his blood sacrifice technique made the time go by much faster.

Now that the blood sacrifice is completed, I wonder if the essence and blood will continue to work?
To this end, he found the Black Jade King Cauldron that he had used to practice the Moonlight Gu before, and threw the seeds of the Reincarnation Nine Infants Fruit into it.

He made a hand gesture, opened his mouth and spit out a drop of crimson blood which spurted out and fell into the Black Jade King Cauldron.

He pinched his fingers again and another drop of essence and blood came out.

One hundred drops of essence and blood, which also represents a hundred years of life, barely covered the bottom of the Black Jade King Cauldron.

"Let's try using essence and blood to cultivate it first. Ordinary spiritual plants grow in soil containing spiritual energy, but I use essence and blood."

"I don't know what will happen to the Samsara Nine Infants Fruit..."

After doing all this, Zheng Yi once again devoted his mind to the world of the broken bronze mirror.

For more than three months, he was not practicing all the time.

Instead, he would take time to follow Niu Liang's gaze and observe the world.

Combined with Niu Liang's communication with others, Zheng Yi gradually came to understand the world where the broken bronze mirror existed.

Tianyang Region, Wei State, and Zhang Family of Weiyang Mountain.

The ancestor of the Zhang family was born in the Yanxia Sect, the largest sect in Wei State, and was a foundation-building cultivator.

Two years ago, he returned to his ancestral home in Weiyang Mountain, established a cultivator family, and expanded the territory for the Yanxia Sect.

Niu Liang was a casual cultivator from Weiyang Mountain who took the initiative to join the Zhang family in order to seek shelter.

There are five cultivators in the direct line of the Zhang family.

The first one is a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building, that is, Zhang Yongkang, the ancestor of the Zhang family.

He has more than ten children, but unfortunately only three of them have spiritual roots and can become monks.

Only these three people are qualified to live in the Zhang family mansion and are called "young masters".

The second is Zhang Yongkang’s wife, Yang Ping’er, a cultivator in the late stage of Qi training.

The couple are both disciples of the Yanxia Sect. They became Taoist partners more than 20 years ago and have been together ever since.

The third one is Zhang Yongkang’s eldest son, Zhang Shaoyang, who is 35 years old and has reached the ninth level of Qi training.

Fourth place is Zhang Yongkang’s second son, Zhang Shaoxing, 28 years old, at the seventh level of Qi Refining.

Fifth, Zhang Yongkang’s third son, Zhang Shaohai, eighteen years old, has reached the sixth level of Qi training.

Among the three sons, the third son Zhang Shaohai has the best qualifications and is expected to lay a good foundation.

The one who reprimanded Niu Liang that day was Zhang Shaohai.

In addition, there are three other independent cultivators who voluntarily attached themselves to the Zhang family. Niu Liang is one of them, and most of them are at the middle stage of Qi training.

"Ok?"

At this moment, Zheng Yi felt a noise coming from the broken bronze mirror and hurried over to check.

As soon as I came to my senses, I felt Niu Liang exercising vigorously.

The broken bronze mirror could not be put into the storage bag, so Niu Liang always carried it with him, which also allowed Zheng Yi to check the surrounding environment at any time.

However, under the Weiyang River, a large number of sand panners were fleeing in panic.

Not far away, there were several men in black casting spells and slaughtering the mortals around them.

Especially Niu Liangdeng and the other two monks stationed here, they were especially looked after by these men in black.

"kill!"

A flying sword burning with green Yin fire attacked, Niu Liang quickly flew out his flying sword to block it, and at the same time slapped himself with a Vajra Talisman.

"Bitter!"

"Why did the Lei family come to attack us? Aren't they afraid of revenge from the Yanxia Sect?"

Niu Liang resisted and retreated at the same time.

He is just dependent on the Zhang family, but he is not a member of the Zhang family. If he sees that the situation is not good, of course he will run away. How could he possibly work for the Zhang family?
Apart from him, the other two had the same idea and fought and retreated at the same time.

"Hahaha, the ancestor of the Zhang family is dying. From now on, Weiyang Mountain will belong to my Lei family!"

"Why don't you surrender immediately!"

A man in black roared, and Niu Liang's face changed slightly. Is the ancestor of the Zhang family going to die?
How can it be!

"boom!"

At this moment, one of the men in black raised his hand casually, and a black lightning suddenly fell from the sky and landed not far from Niu Liang.

The loud roar and lightning flashed, and immediately knocked Niu Liang away.

The Vajra Talisman that was protecting him was instantly shattered, and his entire body was covered in blood.

"Yin Lei Zi!"

"It's definitely Yin Leizi!"

"How could Yin Leizi of Yin Lei Mountain...the Lei family defected to Yin Lei Mountain?"

Niu Liang was so frightened that he lay on the ground and dared not move, hoping that the other members of the Lei family would quickly hunt down the other cultivators and let him escape.

But what he didn't notice was that a line of blood flowed down his cheek and just dripped onto the broken bronze mirror that he had been hanging around his neck.

"boom!"

At this moment, three streams of light shot out from afar, like starlight.

"Who dares to act so arrogantly in Weiyang Mountain!!!"
