Chapter 1173 Demonic Beast Control
Under this situation, it was too late for the thin monk to beg for mercy. He could only use his whole body's true essence to activate layers of defense to try to resist the Nether Fire Sword. Unfortunately, he was not a body-refining monk, and he was used to doing things that were easy to get by on the side of the ladder. He forgot that he would also be in danger one day, so the defensive treasures on his body were not very powerful, and he could not stop the sharp Nether Fire Sword at all.
The Nether Fire Sword was cut down in an instant, and the thin monk only had time to scream, and then he was killed by Qingyang with a sword. Then a ball of Nether Fire ignited on the sword, burning the thin monk's soul.
Qingyang seemed to be very relaxed to kill the thin monk with a sword, but this was normal. The thin monk was surrounded by the alcoholic bees, the iron-armed monkeys and Qingyang, and he was not at an advantage. Qingyang was not afraid of the middle-stage Jindan monks when he was in the first and second levels of Jindan. Now he has reached the middle stage of Jindan. Even if he faces the late Jindan monks, he is not afraid at all, let alone the thin monk who is only at the sixth level?
Qingyang reached out and picked up the thin monk's collection talisman and magic weapon, then flicked his finger, and a fireball burned on the thin monk's body. While destroying the body, Qingyang looked at the other party's collection talisman. There were quite a lot of messy things in it, but a rough estimate showed that it was only worth 30,000 or 40,000 spirit stones, plus the magic weapon, the total value did not exceed 60,000.
In fact, this is the normal situation for ordinary Jindan cultivators. Casual cultivators may be even poorer. For example, Qingyang can accumulate hundreds of thousands of spirit stones in the foundation building period, and after the Jindan period, he spends 800,000 spirit stones just to improve his cultivation. You can't find many of them even if you search the ancient continent.
Qingyang doesn't need most of the thin monk's things. The power of the magic weapon is not as good as Qingyang's five giant swords. It's just useless to carry it with you. It's better to sell it to those cultivators who can't refine magic weapons. When you pass by the Xiancheng market, you can sell them all at a low price.
After everything was done, Qingyang took the alcoholic bee back into the Drunken Immortal Gourd, and then jumped onto the flying spiritual artifact Yufeng Gourd with the Iron Arm Monkey and headed towards the direction of the Ghost Valley.
The reason why Qingyang brought the Iron Arm Monkey with him was, on the one hand, because the Iron Arm Monkey had been trapped in the Drunken Immortal Gourd for too long and was unwilling to stay in the space of the Drunken Immortal Gourd all the time, especially after he had passed the spiritual wisdom tribulation and opened his spiritual wisdom, he always wanted to come out for some fresh air and see what was happening outside.
On the other hand, Qingyang also wanted to teach the Iron Arm Monkey some methods of using divine thoughts. If the Iron Arm Monkey could really learn how to control the Yufeng Gourd, Qingyang and the Iron Arm Monkey could take turns to control the flying spiritual artifact in the future, which would not only save trouble, but also make the journey faster.
Monsters are generally not very good at using divine thoughts, but as their strength increases, their divine thoughts will become stronger and stronger. After the Iron Arm Monkey broke through the seventh level and opened his spiritual wisdom, his divine thoughts were not much worse than those of the same level cultivators, and it was time to learn how to use divine thoughts.
Monsters are monsters after all, with well-developed limbs and simple minds. Even if their divine consciousness is very strong, it is not a problem for them to fight, but it is a bit difficult for them to use divine consciousness. In the first period of time, no matter how hard Qingyang tried, the iron-armed monkey could not master the skills of using divine consciousness. After a few days, not only was Qingyang exhausted, but his speed was also delayed. He traveled two or three thousand miles a day, which was not as fast as when Qingyang was alone.
Fortunately, the iron-armed monkey has opened his spiritual wisdom. Although his intelligence is not as good as that of a cultivator of the same level, it is slightly better than that of an ordinary person. Moreover, his divine consciousness is extremely powerful. He is not the kind of kid who has just started out without any foundation. He can master it slowly with more effort.
Under Qingyang's careful teaching, it took almost half a month for the iron-armed monkey to gradually master some skills. After a month, the iron-armed monkey was able to use divine consciousness to control the wind-controlling gourd to fly. Of course, the speed cannot be compared with Qingyang, but it can also play a role.
Every day, Qingyang flew the Wind Gourd for eight hours, and could fly about 4,000 miles. After that, the Wind Gourd was controlled by the Iron Arm Monkey, and could barely fly 1,000 miles. In this way, he could travel 5,000 miles a day, which was much faster than when Qingyang was alone. It can be said that sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood. It didn't take long for him to make up for the time he had lost.
However, it was still a bit rare for monsters to fly openly with spiritual tools. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Qingyang arranged the Iron Arm Monkey's time at night. During the day, he took the Iron Arm Monkey to travel, and at night, he gave it to the Iron Arm Monkey. Qingyang meditated and rested on the Wind Gourd.
As time went by, the Iron Arm Monkey became more and more proficient in using divine thoughts, and the speed of controlling the Wind Gourd became faster and faster. After three or five months, it was almost the same as Qingyang's speed. In this way, Qingyang's speed increased to more than 6,000 miles a day. If they continued at this speed, they would probably reach the Ghost Valley in less than a year.
The environment of the Netherworld is similar to that of the Immortal Realm, but there are more ghostly spirits here, but less spiritual energy. The further you go, the less spiritual energy there is. I heard from the One-Horned Ghost King that there is almost no spiritual energy in the Ten Kings Palace in the deepest part of the Netherworld. Immortal cultivators dare not consume too much true essence there, because it is very difficult to replenish spiritual energy, so immortal cultivators are generally unwilling to go there.
Maybe because of the scarcity of spiritual energy, Qingyang always feels that the environment of the Netherworld is more depressing, the sky is darker, and the climate is colder. Perhaps for this reason, there are more spiritual herbs suitable for ghost cultivators here, many of which Qingyang is not familiar with. There are very few spiritual herbs commonly used by immortal cultivators. There are some on the market, most of which are exchanged from the Immortal Realm to meet the needs of a small number of immortal cultivators in the Netherworld, but the price is slightly higher.
The spiritual energy from the outside world only plays an auxiliary role in Qingyang's cultivation, and the amount of spiritual energy does not have much impact on him. However, elixirs are indispensable, which requires a large number of spiritual herbs. In order to avoid not being able to find the corresponding spiritual herbs when refining elixirs in the future, Qingyang will try to stop and purchase them when he encounters the market on the way.
After breaking through the middle stage of the golden elixir, Qingyang still has more than 100,000 spiritual stones on him. Before leaving the Fallen Ghost Abyss, the One-horned Ghost King gave him another 100,000 dark stones. In addition to the spiritual stones and dark stones obtained by killing the thin monk and dealing with his collection talismans and magic weapons, Qingyang has about 300,000 spiritual stones and dark stones on him.
If these spiritual stones continue to be used for cultivation, it should be able to improve his cultivation by half a level. However, Qingyang knows that he will stay in the Netherworld for a long time in the future, and it is difficult to earn spiritual stones. He must be frugal. So he exchanged most of the spiritual stones for various materials for the Juyuan Pill. He spent more than 200,000 spiritual stones along the way, and only kept a small amount for backup. Anyway, the space of his Drunken Immortal Gourd is large enough, so he is not afraid of not being able to fit it.
