Chapter 207 Locust Spirit Powder
Zhu Hun went to Chaoyin Mountain to ask for help, but it would take eight days at the earliest for reinforcements to arrive.
Of course, Zhang Zhixuan and others would not sit still and wait for death in these eight days. Their remaining six foundation-building monks recovered their mana and all moved out to kill the locust swarms closest to Yanlai Peak.
To mortals, the destructive power of these locusts is astonishing, far exceeding that of third-level monsters. But for a few foundation-building monks who cooperated with each other, the scattered swarms of locusts were easier to deal with than the third-order monsters.
The third-level monsters still have some intelligence and know how to hide their sneak attacks, but these swarms of locusts are almost blatantly exposed in front of the foundation-building monks.
In just six days, Zhang Zhixuan and six people cooperated with each other to wipe out two swarms of locusts and kill two third-level locust monsters.
When six people cooperate, their methods are very versatile. Zhang Zhixuan and the others can hunt down the third-level locust demon and eliminate a group of third-level locusts without wasting any magic talismans. They can only rely on their own magic weapons.
After killing two third-level locust demons, Zhang Zhixuan also received three locust demon legs. These locust demon legs can be used to refine second-level high-grade magic weapons and are worth some money.
Unfortunately, the number of locust swarms is increasing, and more than a dozen swarms have appeared in front of Yanlai Peak.
With so many locust swarms, once one of them invades Taicheng County, it will cause serious losses to mortals. Zhang Zhixuan and the others have no skills at all. They can only care about this side but not that side.
If they choose to spread their strength, it will be too difficult for a foundation-building monk to destroy a group of locust monsters.
Just when Zhang Zhixuan and others were frowning and undecided, reinforcements from Chaoyin Mountain finally arrived.
The leading monk was, as expected, Han Wangpeng.
Han Wangpeng came to Yanlai Peak with five foundation-building monks. He first looked at the third-order locust demon hunted by Zhang Zhixuan, thought for a moment and said: “If nothing unexpected happens, the species of this locust plague is the East Pole Locust. This kind The locust demon first appeared in East Antarctica. At that time, a locust demon reached the seventh level. The locust plague it controlled almost wiped out all living things in East Antarctica. In order to eliminate this locust plague, seven Yuanshen monks left the blessed land Lingshan. I took action and killed the seventh-level locust demon to suppress this world-destroying chaos.”
This matter is a major event in the world of immortality. Zhang Zhixuan and others were born in the small and remote country of Nanya Prefecture, and they have occasionally heard rumors about the locust demon annihilating the world.
Unexpectedly, the locust plague in Montenegro this time is actually the same species as the world-destroying East Pole locust.
Seeing the shocked expressions on Zhang Zhixuan’s and others’ faces, Han Wangpeng smiled nonchalantly and said, “Don’t be afraid. Demonic insects like the East Pole Locust are more difficult to deal with at higher levels. The third-level locust demon is still easy to kill. . Although the seventh-level locust demon was killed back then, after this world-destroying locust disaster, the East Pole locust also began to spread on a large scale. “
Han Wangpeng took a sip of tea and continued: “According to the sect’s classics, there were thirteen locust plagues caused by East Pole locusts in the Southern Wasteland only in the past five thousand years. The most dangerous one was six hundred years ago, when A sixth-level locust demon actually appeared in the depths of the Southern Wilderness, and swarms of locusts were densely packed all over a three-thousand-mile radius.
Although Liu Xuanyan, the leader of the Xuansu Sect at the time, had just given birth, he resolutely led his disciples deep into the Southern Wilderness and killed the sixth-level locust demon, eliminating this major problem for the national sect in the southeast of Nanya Prefecture. In that battle that year, our ancestor Jin Dan, the predecessor of Qingxuan Sect, was also personally involved. In the notes he left behind, he also clearly recorded the weaknesses of the East Pole Locust. “
“What is the weakness?” After hearing what Han Wangpeng said, Zhang Zhixuan and others asked impatiently.
Seeing that the East Pole Locust is about to enter Taicheng County and wreak havoc, dozens of locust demons, even with the help of the Zifu period monks, as long as one enters Taicheng County and enters the town where mortals gather, it can seriously damage the vitality of several major families. , so their attitude is a bit eager.
As long as you roast the Locust Spirit Powder with real fire and let it emit a strong smell, you can break the control of the third-level locust demon on the locusts and let the locusts in the swarm devour each other until the last winner, of course. The victorious East Pole Locust can also advance a small level. “
Zhang Zhixuan and others know that the reason why the East Pole Locust is difficult to deal with is mainly because of its huge number. Just a single East Pole Locust, even if it was promoted to a higher level, becoming a third-level mid-level or a third-level high-level one, it would still be far from a match for a foundation-building monk.
According to the understanding of Zhang Zhixuan and others, the third-level Dongji Locust is not good at fighting alone. For foundation-building monks, even early-stage foundation-building monks have a 30% chance of defeating the third-level high-level Dongji Locust.
“Ancestor Han, do you have the elixir for Locust Spirit Powder in your hand? If you go to Qingxuan Sect to get the elixir, even if you go in person, Ancestor Han, I’m afraid you won’t be able to make it in time. Dozens of swarms of locusts are already in front of you. “Wu Xiangjian’s family had a monk from the Zifu period and had the strongest support, so he was the first to ask.
Han Wangpeng waved his hand and said: “Fortunately, I like to read the sect’s miscellaneous books, remember the experience of Patriarch Zhao, and also wrote down the prescription of Locust Spirit Powder.
This elixir is the hard work of senior monks, and it is the valuable experience that humans have summed up when facing the East Pole Locust. According to the rules of the world of immortality, although this elixir is precious, it is not forbidden to spread it to outsiders.
Are there any third-level alchemists among you? Although my cultivation level is higher than yours, I am not good at alchemy. “
“I am a third-level alchemist.” After hearing what Patriarch Han said, Zhang Zhixuan immediately replied. Among the foundation-building monks present, only Zhang Zhixuan’s alchemy skills exceeded the third level, so he was the only one capable of refining Locust Spirit Powder.
The Zhang family originally had an inheritance of alchemy. The founder of the sect, Zhang Tairen, was a superb alchemist himself, with a rank as high as fourth level, and was very rare among casual cultivators.
Unfortunately, in order to exchange for Zhang Chuyun’s resources to open up the Zi Mansion, Zhang Tairen could only exchange his own alchemy inheritance for Zhang Chuyun’s large amount of good resources.
As a price, he couldn’t even pass down his alchemy mantle in the family.
After Zhang Chuyun succeeded in opening the Zifu, Zhang Tairen passed away soon. The Zhang family’s alchemy skills were gradually collected by the younger generations of monks and seemed very messy.
When Zhang Zhixuan was learning alchemy, the Zhang family only had a third-level elixir recipe called Moon Watching Pill, so one can imagine their embarrassment.
Afterwards, Zhang Zhixuan discovered the storage bag of He Changyuan, the alchemist of Qingxuan Sect, in Nanhuang. He obtained the alchemy inheritance of Guang Yuanzi from his son He Luwen and learned to refine the second third-order spiritual elixir Sanyang Dan.
Some time ago, Zhang Zhixuan obtained the alchemy passed down by the Gu family from Gu Chengxun. Although Zhang Zhixuan has not studied it carefully due to the short time, there are already four third-level elixirs in the Zhang family’s alchemy inheritance.
Since Zhang Zhixuan established the foundation, after thirty years of accumulation, the Zhang family has undergone almost earth-shaking changes in the knowledge of alchemy. Although it may not be as good as the Wu family, it is not much worse than the Liu family.
If you can learn Locust Spirit Powder, there are five third-level elixirs recorded in the Zhang family’s inheritance. When Zhang Zhixuan’s alchemy skills are further advanced, he can compile an alchemy book for the family.
