Cultivation: I have an equipment slot

Yang Lianqing had seen Zhang Yan make a move the last time.

Zhang Yan was still piloting a mid-grade third-tier flying sword.

Now, the first thing he's using is a low-grade fourth-order flying sword!

Although the quantity is somewhat smaller.

But when the two hundred and forty flying swords came together, their momentum was still incredibly terrifying!
"Fellow Daoist Yang."

"Leave these two Yin Cicadas to me."

Zhang Yan, wielding his flying sword, said something to Yang Lianqing.

hum!
One flying sword after another sliced ​​through the void, swaying with dazzling sword light, and continuously stabbed towards the two Yin Cicadas.

Zhang Yan's magical power is several times purer than that of others of the same level.

The flying sword also carried sword energy, which Yin Chan could only defend against with his own scythe.

Dang Dang Dang!
The sound of metal clashing echoed continuously.

"If it's a top-grade third-tier flying sword."

"It will shatter upon colliding with the scythe of the Yin Cicada."

"However, even if a fourth-tier flying sword cannot cut through that scythe, it will at least not be damaged."

Zhang Yan thought to himself.

Each Yin Cicada must face one hundred and twenty flying swords.

At first, they were able to resist, but their weaknesses were quickly found.

His body was repeatedly slashed open by the sword light.

Stab it!

Finally, the continuous stream of flying swords pierced their bodies, shattering their life force.

The two Nascent Soul Yin Cicadas were easily dealt with.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang."

"So you had this trick up your sleeve!"

Yang Lianqing summoned the ghost back and said excitedly.

According to the allocation rules.

The corpses of both Yin Chan belonged to Yang Lianqing.

Zhang Yan took the spirit crystal; the corpse was of no use to him.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang."

"I'm going to help my fellow disciples."

With his hands free, Yang Lianqing decided to help his fellow disciples.

Although we are from the same school.

However, Corpse Demon Skull Mountain is a demonic sect, and the disciples there are not as harmonious as those in the Divine Weapon Pavilion.

If you want help from your fellow disciples, you have to pay a price.

For example, these cicadas, whoever kills them owns them.

Yang Lianqing was alone, accompanied by a ghost.

Drifting amidst the battlefield.

They launched a sneak attack from behind and killed two more Yin Cicadas.

Those fellow disciples couldn't say anything, since Yang Lianqing was helping them out of a predicament.

There are a total of fourteen Nascent Soul Yin Cicadas.

That mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator killed four, and Yang Lianqing and Zhang Yan worked together to kill four more.

It can be said that Yang Lianqing's gains were comparable to those of the mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

Those disciples of the Corpse Demon Skull Mountain.

He couldn't help but glance at Zhang Yan again.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang."

"I've long heard that you are the personal disciple of the Divine Weapon Pavilion Master."

"I never imagined that besides your talent for weapon crafting, you would be so skilled in combat. Very good."

The mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator from Corpse Demon Skull Mountain, named Ma Ze, praised Zhang Yan.

However, they did not try to build a close relationship.

The group remained separated, continuing their search within the small world.

This lake stretches for thousands of miles.

Beneath the lake's surface, there are numerous spirit crystals.

It's the same as we agreed before.

The spirit crystals discovered by Yang Lianqing and Zhang Yan both belong to Zhang Yan.

"Fellow Daoist Yang."

"Is this the Yin Spring water you're looking for?"

While searching for the spirit crystal, Zhang Yan discovered a small pit, about the size of a head, beneath a low-lying lake.

The small pit contained a viscous, cyan spiritual liquid, like magma.

It emits a faint fluorescence.

It is incompatible with the lake water and is heavier than the lake water, so it settled in this small pit.

However, it doesn't look as pure as the one inside Yin Chan's body.

"It is indeed Yin Spring water!"

Yang Lianqing rushed over, took a look, and exclaimed in surprise.

"The Yin Cicada is born in the Yin Spring."

"The Yin Spring water inside the body is the purest."

"And the spring water in this small pit should flow directly from the spring."

Yang Lianqing explained.

"Senior Brother Ma, fellow senior brothers!"

Yang Lianqing then immediately summoned his other senior brothers.

"Lian Qing."

"You're quite lucky."

As the person with the highest cultivation level, Ma Ze naturally took on the responsibility of distributing these Yin Spring waters.

"According to contribution."

"I'll take 30%."

"Lian Qing and Fellow Daoist Zhang have made a meritorious discovery."

"We just killed four Yin Cicadas, so we'll take 30% of that too."

"The remaining five of you will each take 40%, and you can distribute it among yourselves."

Ma Ze used a jade bottle to collect all the Yin Spring water, divided it into three portions, took one portion for himself, and gave the rest to the others.

"I can actually get 30%."

"Fellow Daoist Zhang, you're really lucky."

Yang Lianqing was delighted to receive his share of 30%.

"I should thank you."

"You still remember me after such a good thing."

Zhang Yan smiled calmly and replied.

It's only right that Ma Ze takes 30%.

Because he was in the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, he was everyone's senior brother.

Yang Lianqing taking 30% made others envious.

"I thought he had brought along someone who would drag him down, but it turns out he got a powerful ally."

"When will the Divine Weapon Pavilion be able to cultivate such a prodigy?"

"After all, it is a major immortal sect, so it is bound to be able to find one or two extraordinary individuals. However, the spirit crystals that Yang Lianqing paid out were not a loss."

...

The five disciples discussed among themselves, looking at Zhang Yan with new respect.

But let's talk about this now.

It's too late.

"Everyone."

"This enormous lake."

"There is only one place with a small pool of shady spring water."

"I suspect it might have been brought over by that tributary."

"If we follow this tributary, we might find a hidden spring."

After distributing the Yin Spring water, Zhang Yan pressed on, pointing to a nearby tributary and saying...

He knew nothing about Yinquan Water.

However, he knew very well that direction was the direction from which the sensation came from.

His goal was to collect the lost essence of the Vermilion Bird Fire Sword.

"It makes sense."

"Then let's do as Fellow Daoist Zhang says."

Having tasted success and seeing Zhang Yan's impressive abilities, Ma Ze chose to agree with Zhang Yan.

So the group...

Turn around again.

Wow!
This tributary is not wide, only about ten miles wide, but as people passed by, the number of cicadas in the river increased significantly.

"Could it be."

"Am I really right?"

Zhang Yan was also unsure of the location of the Yin Spring; perhaps their goals truly overlapped.

After demonstrating their strength.

Zhang Yan no longer concealed his intentions and, in cooperation with Yang Lianqing, eliminated Yin Chan.

His battle record along the way was second only to Ma Ze, who was in the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

"Yang Lianqing has made a fortune. That kid's flying sword is incredibly effective against Yin Chan."

"This guy is ruthless. Two hundred and forty low-grade fourth-order flying swords. Ordinary people can't produce that."

"Stop talking nonsense here. You still have ghosts hidden away. Take them out now."

...

The five disciples were somewhat jealous of Yang Lianqing, and they joined forces along the way, gaining much more.

Along this tributary.

After flying for more than five days, the group finally arrived at the end of the river.

This is a sea cliff, which, when viewed from the air, resembles the unfathomable eye of a colossal beast, as if it were about to devour everything.

Generally speaking, water flows downhill.

But here, the water flows continuously from below the sea cliffs, along the steep cliffs, upwards.

It flows from the surrounding huge tributaries into the entire Yinquan microcosm.

"Yinquan Eye" (a type of spring).

"It should be just below this sea cliff." "Fellow Daoist Zhang, I must thank you for this trip, otherwise we wouldn't have found this place so quickly."

Ma Ze looked at Zhang Yan and praised him with a smile.

sizzle!
But once you reach the sea cliff, you'll also reach the lair of the Yin Cicada.

Beneath the seemingly endless surface of the water, cicadas roamed.

More than thirty have surfaced, and it's unknown how many are still hidden underwater.

"Don't be impulsive!"

"So many cicadas."

"They can outnumber us and wear us down!"

Ma Ze's expression changed, and he immediately led everyone back.

These cicadas seemed to be guarding something. After the group retreated, they chased them for a distance before returning the way they came.

"It's basically certain."

"This is the source of the Yin Spring."

Through Yin Chan's behavior, everyone became even more certain.

"The lost essence of the Vermilion Bird Fire Sword."

"Could it be beneath these sea cliffs?"

Zhang Yan sensed a faint longing emanating from the Vermilion Bird Fire Sword.

I haven't actually seen it yet.

The missing essence of the Vermilion Bird Fire Sword.

But both sides share the same goal.

We must first eliminate these Shadow Cicadas before we can enter the sea cliff.

"I knew it."

"This Yin Spring is not easy to obtain."

"These ghosts were prepared in advance by me."

"You each get three. Remember to deduct them from your share after you get the Yin Spring Water."

As the leading senior brother, Ma Ze took out a small pile of white bone skulls and threw them to his fellow junior brothers.

The Yin Chan is a mythical beast.

He has little mental capacity.

The characteristics of the ghost are also a perfect counter to the cicada.

Each person received three ghosts, plus some they had kept for themselves.

All you need to do is lure out a portion of the cicadas.

The ghosts pounce on them and can wipe out a whole group.

The distribution of Yinquan water was also based on contributions, and everyone worked very hard.

But the most conspicuous one was Zhang Yan.

Zhang Yan unleashed 360 flying swords simultaneously, forming a complete Heavenly Gang Five Elements Sword Formation.

The sword formation was a unified whole, and the power of the flying swords surged once again.

It was another case of defeating them one by one.

Zhang Yan and Yang Lianqing working together were about as efficient as Ma Ze.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang."

"I've collected them all."

"The Yin Spring Water that tempers a zombie!"

Yang Lianqing, controlling the three-headed ghost, followed beside Zhang Yan, his face glowing.

If it weren't for Zhang Yan.

With his strength, he could only rank last among his fellow disciples.

Because he had only recently broken through to the Nascent Soul stage.

My accumulated knowledge is not as good as that of my senior classmates.

But Zhang Yan gave him a huge surprise.

"Lian Qing."

"Go and lure another wave of Yin Cicadas."

"After you get the Yin Spring Water, take as much as you can."

"We've dealt with the ten Yin Cicadas again," Ma Ze said to Yang Lianqing.

"Yes!"

Yang Lianqing immediately turned around and rushed towards the sea cliff again.

Zhang Yan stood still, when he suddenly noticed a change.

"Fellow Daoist Yang, wait!"

Zhang Yan's expression changed, and his flying swords converged, forming a wall of swords that blocked Yang Lianqing.

"how……"

Ma Ze's face showed displeasure, and he wanted to ask why.

Wow!
He had just opened his mouth when a towering wave suddenly surged up below Haiya Cliff.

Amidst the spray of water, there was a gigantic, dark green cicada, as large as a mountain, a hundred meters long.

It is said to be a cicada in the shadows.

In fact, it is completely different from the common cicada.

Its body is covered with thick, dark green crystal armor, it has four scythes, and eight pairs of wings on its back.

His eyes, like lanterns, stared at Zhang Yan and his group with a fierce look.

hiss!
But as soon as it broke the surface of the water, a large amount of water vapor came out of its body, and its body twisted wildly, looking extremely painful.

After glancing at everyone, he descended back down the sea cliff.

laugh!
Another burst of steam rose up, and the giant Yin Cicada's body resembled a block of magma.

The steam was intensely hot and contained an astonishingly turbulent flow of yin energy.

Zhang Yan's sword formation was completely shattered by the impact.

Fortunately, Yang Lianqing escaped unscathed.

"Thank you for saving me, Fellow Daoist Zhang!"

Yang Lianqing returned, pale-faced, and bowed to Zhang Yan in thanks.

"Senior Brother Ma."

What was that giant cicada?

Everyone looked surprised and asked Ma Ze.

"It's the Yin Cicada King!"

Ma Ze's face was grim, and he replied in a deep voice.

These cicadas cannot appear out of thin air.

They all come from that Yin Cicada King.

The Yin Chan King just appeared; with its exaggerated size, its strength should be equivalent to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage!

There was such a terrifying beast.

Even with Ma Ze, a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, occupying the Yin Spring Eye, it would be impossible for the others to obtain it.

"The Yin Cicada King at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage?"

"Senior brother, what should we do now?"

Upon learning of the terrifying power of the Yin Cicada King, the group exchanged bewildered glances.

"That Yin Cicada King."

"Perhaps we cannot leave, the Yin Spring."

"If all else fails, we'll exterminate these weak shrews."

"We can't have come all this way for nothing, collecting the Yin Spring Water from the Yin Cicada's body."

After thinking it over, Ma Ze had no choice but to settle for second best.

Mosquito legs are meat too.

Moreover, these swarming cicadas are much better than mosquito legs.

"I'll lure the cicadas."

Ma Ze told Yang Lianqing to stay behind while he went to attract Yin Chan's attention.

Around this sea cliff, there are countless cicadas, almost impossible to kill them all.

With a little more time, you can obtain quite a bit of Yin Spring water.

"wrong."

"That Yin Cicada King."

"Absolutely not, the strength of a peak Nascent Soul cultivator."

Everyone busied themselves again, but Zhang Yan seemed lost in thought.

The sudden appearance of the Yin Cicada King was indeed terrifying.

But based on Zhang Yan's perception, that Yin Cicada King was definitely not as powerful as Ma Ze had described.

It should only be the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

even.

He's not yet at the late Nascent Soul stage.

Moreover, the remnant essence of the Vermilion Bird Fire Sword that Zhang Yan was looking for has not yet been found.

How can we just give up like this?
If this Yin Chan King is only in the late Nascent Soul stage.

Zhang Yan alone, relying on the Vermilion Bird and Azure Dragon swords, could venture into the Yin Spring.

time flies.

Another day has passed.

While the others were filled with apprehension, Zhang Yan waited patiently for the appearance of the Yin Cicada King.

Wow!
Finally, halfway through the second day, another huge splash of water shot into the sky.

This time, among the splashes of water, there were clearly some pale blue water droplets.

That's Yinquan water!
As Zhang Yan had predicted, in the center of the splashing water was once again the hundred-meter-long body of the Yin Cicada King.

As always, a large amount of water vapor evaporates.

The Yin Cicada's body should be cold, and the Yin Cicada King should be the same, but at this moment it is not normal.

But no one has been able to investigate.

hiss!
Unable to assess the situation of Zhang Yan and the others, the Yin Cicada King's eyes were filled with pain. This time, it opened its mouthparts.

laugh!
What came out of its mouth was not yin energy, but a pale white flame. The boundless water droplets were evaporated into water vapor, and mist filled the air!
"what is that?"

Ma Ze and others were puzzled.

"The Vermilion Bird's Origin!"

Only Zhang Yan could spot the source of the flames at a glance.

The white Vermilion Bird departs from the flames!

Zhang Yan finally understood why the Yin Chan King's body emitted terrifyingly high temperatures.

Because it was so audacious, it devoured the Vermilion Bird's essence that had fallen into the small world! (End of Chapter)
