Chapter 1346 Refining Dragon Bones

Let’s not talk about how the two monsters compete for the moment. After arranging them, Qingyang left the Drunken Immortal Gourd and accompanied Master Shihan to rest for a few days. The three of them continued on their way.

Qingyang and Master Shihan took turns to drive the Wind Control Gourd. The speed of traveling was not slow. They could fly about 7,000 miles a day. About half a year later, Master Shihan found a place suitable for seclusion, which was much better than Yinyang Valley in Chujiang City, so he left with Mei Qing.

Qingyang did not try to keep them, because it was only a matter of time before they separated. Master Shihan and Meiqing had their own things to do and could not follow him all the time. Moreover, Qingyang went to the Ten Kings Hall this time to help the One-horned Ghost King. There would definitely be battles, and it was not convenient to take Master Shihan and others with him.

After separating from Master Shihan, Qingyang’s speed of traveling slowed down. After the Iron-armed Monkey got the dragon bone, he had been in seclusion in the Drunken Immortal Gourd. There had been no progress for half a year. Qingyang did not want to disturb him, so he could only drive the Wind Control Gourd by himself.

Although Qingyang can now drive a flying spiritual tool to travel all day long, it would be too tiring. If he encounters any danger when he is exhausted, it will be troublesome. Therefore, Qingyang can only travel for more than eight hours a day and use the rest of the time to rest.

In this way, his speed dropped to less than 5,000 miles a day, and at most 1.8 million miles a year. If he encounters something on the road, or feels tired and takes a rest, the speed will be even slower. 1.7 million miles a year is considered good.

As he went deeper into the Netherworld, immortal cultivators were almost extinct, and even ghost cultivators were much less. Mortal villages and cities became increasingly rare. Sometimes, he could not see a single person for more than half a month. He could only see some spiritual monsters or wandering low-level unconscious ghost cultivators. There was a sense of desolation and loneliness everywhere. Occasionally, he encountered a city of immortal cultivators, and the number of cultivators was also very different from that of Chujiang City. This environment was more and more like the name of the Netherworld.

Of course, high-level ghosts and zombies are also needed, but their number is relatively rare compared to low-level ghosts, and their places are more remote and desolate. It is not easy for Qingyang to meet them. In this way, the journey is much smoother and he rarely encounters any trouble.

Unknowingly, another four and a half years have passed. It has been five years since he left Chujiang City. Most of these years have been on the road. Qingyang's cultivation has not improved much, and it seems that he is still far from the perfection of the golden elixir. But after these years of training, Qingyang feels that his true essence is more pure and his strength has improved.

How to say it? Because Qingyang's cultivation level improved too fast in those years, his experience and vision could not keep up, and his true essence was not pure enough, and his foundation always felt a little bit empty, which would definitely affect his strength. Now, after years of training, his experience and vision have also improved, his true essence is more pure, and his foundation is more solid, so his strength will naturally improve.

Previously in Wulongtan, Qingyang and Iron Arm Monkey cooperated and used all their skills, but in the end they were beaten badly by Guihe Zhenren. If the two sides fought again now, Qingyang felt that even if he could not win Guihe Zhenren, he could at least remain undefeated.

In the past five years, not only Qingyang has not changed much, but also the changes in the Drunken Immortal Gourd have not changed much. The growth cycle of high-level spiritual herbs is too long, and it is difficult to grow when Qingyang needs it. Although the growth time of low-level spiritual herbs is short, their value is not high, and Qingyang basically does not need them now.

The flowers on the peach tree have withered, and a total of five peaches the size of peanuts have been produced, hidden in the lush peach leaves. If you don’t look carefully, you really can’t find them. The growth period of this thing is estimated to be very long, and it is definitely not edible in a short time. The gourd also produced a fourth one, which is only the size of a soybean. It is not clear what its attributes are for the time being, so you can only wait slowly.

In addition, the number of alcoholic bee colonies has reached tens of thousands in the past two years, but the cultivation of the alcoholic bee queen is still stuck at the level of ninth-level perfection, unable to make further progress. I am afraid that it is also due to limited qualifications. She will have to find a way to improve her qualifications in the future. Fortunately, she still has a long life, so things are not so urgent.

Iron-armed monkey has been busy refining the dragon bone in recent years. I don’t know whether the dragon bone level of the tribulation dragon is too high or the method of the iron-armed monkey is wrong. In short, it is particularly difficult to refine. The iron-armed monkey has spent five years without sleep before it can be regarded as slightly effective.

Today, the iron-armed monkey has changed a lot. His hair is very black and shiny. When fighting, each hair stands up like a steel needle. His body is even taller, with thick thighs, bulging arms, a ferocious face, and a terrifying momentum, which makes people afraid.

There are two faint bulges on the forehead of the Iron Arm Monkey. The hair around it has fallen off, and a few tiny scales have replaced it. Qingyang knows that it is the result of refining the dragon bone. The Iron Arm Monkey has completely integrated the dragon marrow inside, and its body has also been transformed by the dragon marrow. There is already a trace of the blood of the Tribulation Dragon in its blood, so it has some dragon characteristics. Two dragon horns may grow on the top of his head in the future.

After refining the dragon bone, the Iron Arm Monkey has a very different aura from before. The entire alcoholic bee colony no longer dares to approach him casually, and the alcoholic bee queen also has a faint fear. If he releases his aura outside, those low-level monsters will either flee or be scared to the ground. This is the level and blood suppression of the high-level spirit beasts on the low-level monsters, which cannot be overcome.

At the same time, Qingyang also noticed that the Iron Arm Monkey's strength seemed to be one step further than before refining the dragon bone, and it was really on the verge of advancement. Seeing this, Qingyang did not disturb him, but let him continue to practice in the Drunken Immortal Gourd, and find a way to break through to the Transformation Stage as soon as possible.

Qingyang's strength has long been able to fight against Yuanying cultivators, and the Iron Arm Monkey is still at the peak of the ninth level, a little behind. If the Iron Arm Monkey can break through the current realm first, it will be able to help a lot in the future battles, but Qingyang doesn't know much about how monsters practice and how to advance to the Transformation Stage. These things still have to be solved by the Iron Arm Monkey himself.

After five years of continuous travel, Qingyang has walked at least tens of millions of miles. He can feel that he is getting closer and closer to the Ten Kings Palace, because there are gradually more pedestrians on the road, and the villages and towns where ghost cultivators or ghost cultivators gather appear more and more frequently. On weekdays, you can often encounter hurried cultivators, who seem to be gathering in the same direction. Qingyang judged that there must be a large gathering area of ​​cultivators ahead.
