Cultivation: I have an equipment slot

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Zhang!"

Ma Ze's body was covered in sore flesh that he quickly put away the silver incense, which was only one-tenth the length of his own.

He thought.

He still needs to take action to kill the Yin Chan King.

However, he was overthinking it.

Zhang Yan alone annihilated the Yin Chan King.

"No need for formalities."

"I remember your twenty million spirit stones."

Zhang Yan glanced at Ma Ze and said calmly.

"of course I remember."

Ma Ze smiled, but felt a pang of heartache in his heart.

That's it.

Twenty million spirit stones!
"Lian Qing."

"Lower Yin Spring Eye".

Zhang Yan called out and fell into the Yin Spring.

With very few Yin Cicadas remaining, the two of them successfully entered the Yin Spring.

This sea cliff is funnel-shaped.

The water above is constantly flowing backwards.

At the very center, there is a cave entrance that is over 300 meters long; that is the Yin Spring.

Even among the dark springs, the proportion of dark spring water produced is very small.

Most of what's gushing out is underground river water.

The Yin Cicada King has been entrenched here for countless years, and has carved a circular ditch outside the Yin Spring.

The real spring water is deposited in it.

"Yinquan Water".

"So little?"

Ma Ze, who was right behind him, muttered a complaint under his breath.

This ravine is as deep as a person; if it were filled with Yin Spring water, they would make a fortune.

But right now, it's only up to the forearm, just a shallow layer.

Zhang Yan heard the sound and glanced at Ma Ze.

"Cough cough."

"I must thank Fellow Daoist Zhang."

"Without Fellow Daoist Zhang, I'm afraid I would already be dead."

"Not to mention, we got this Yin Spring water."

Ma Ze gave a dry laugh.

"The Yin Cicada King is troubled by the Vermilion Bird's spiritual blood."

"Most of the Yin Spring water here has been consumed by the Yin Cicada King."

Zhang Yan looked away and offered an explanation.

That Yin Chan King.

In order to refine the Vermilion Bird's spiritual blood.

He went to great lengths, but his own cultivation level plummeted.

Even the accumulated spring water is almost gone.

pity.

In the end, it all benefited Zhang Yan.

The Vermilion Bird Bloodstains were not fully absorbed by the Vermilion Bird Blazing Sword.

Zhang Yan speculated that after complete absorption...

The Vermilion Bird Fire Sword should be able to be upgraded to a top-tier fourth-order weapon.

The Azure Dragon Tremor Sword was even more effective at absorbing the ancient dragon blood tree than before.

This trip is worthwhile.

"Lian Qing."

"You shall take half of this Yin Spring water."

Zhang Yan said to Yang Lianqing.

Even if Zhang Yan took the Yin Spring water, it would be useless to him; however, he could decide how to distribute it.

Of course, Yang Lianqing should take more.

"Yang Lianqing made a fortune."

Several disciples of the Corpse Demon Skull Mountain felt envious.

But they dared not say anything.

Yang Lianqing collected half of the Yin Spring water, enough to refine ten zombies.

The harvest was twice as much as he had expected!
"leftover."

"You allocate among yourselves."

Zhang Yan left a message, then flashed and landed at the bottom of the funnel.

The place was filled with a bluish glow, and it was filled with clusters of spirit crystals.

meet as planned.

These spirit crystals all belong to Zhang Yan.

He naturally wouldn't stand on ceremony; with a wave of his hand, a large number of spirit crystals fell into his storage bag.

However, the Yin Chan King consumed a significant amount of the spirit crystals here.

finally.

Zhang Yan counted the spirit crystals he had obtained from this sea cliff; there were over 100,000 of them.

One spirit crystal is equivalent to one thousand spirit stones.

All of this adds up to over one hundred million spirit stones!
Meanwhile, Zhang Yan also collected 10,000 spirit crystals in the outside world.

Plus.

Ma Ze owes 20 million spirit stones.

Zhang Yan obtained resources worth 130 million spirit stones.

There are six people still alive on Skull Mountain, though the exact number is unknown.

But it was also known that Zhang Yan must have made a fortune.

Loot all the resources.

The group then prepared to leave, and the corpse of the Yin Chan King was distributed to the people of Corpse Demon Skull Mountain according to the previous distribution method.

Ma Ze turned his little treasure trove upside down.

They eventually gathered resources worth 15 million, and then borrowed another 5 million from several junior brothers.

The previous agreement has been fulfilled.

"Lian Qing."

"Fellow Daoists."

"I'll take the first step."

Zhang Yan stepped out of the teleportation array in the Yin Spring Small World and disappeared.

"Lian Qing."

"Thank goodness you were with me on this trip."

Ma Ze looked at the still fluctuating formation and sighed.

Yang Lianqing was the first.

When Zhang Yan was invited, the others were not very willing.

In retrospect, they all have to thank Yang Lianqing.

"Senior Brother Ma."

"You don't harbor any resentment towards Fellow Daoist Zhang, do you?"

Yang Lianqing asked tentatively.

"Although I suffered some losses."

"But all things considered, Fellow Daoist Zhang doesn't owe me anything."

"Moreover, Fellow Daoist Zhang's talent is too extraordinary. Befriending him would be entirely beneficial."

"I also have a feeling that once he grows up, the Divine Weapon Pavilion will undergo earth-shattering changes."

Ma Ze shook his head, his gaze distant.

Chatted a few more words.

The group of fellow disciples also left.

Afterwards, the Human Alliance will send people to take over this small world.

……

Divine Weapon Pavilion.

After returning.

Zhang Yan went to see the Master of the Divine Weapon Pavilion immediately.

He told his master about what had happened in the Yin Spring Small World, including Yue Ping's matter.

"This Yue Ping."

"I've heard of it."

"It is now one of the eight phoenix chicks of Divine Phoenix Valley."

"Although he is ranked at the bottom, he is still not someone that ordinary disciples can compare to."

"Even he was defeated by you! You've really made your teacher proud!"

Upon hearing the news, the Pavilion Master of the Divine Weapon Pavilion patted Zhang Yan on the shoulder and praised him.

He was extremely satisfied with his disciple Zhang Yan.

From beginner to now.

I don't know how many surprises I gave him.

But the more outstanding Zhang Yan's performance was, the more worried the Divine Weapon Pavilion Master became.

The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it.

The emergence of a prodigy like Zhang Yan in the Divine Weapon Pavilion is truly eye-catching.

After Yue Ping returned to Shenhuang Valley.

Zhang Yan's talent will surely be known far and wide.

He would also be exposed to the sight of the five major immortal sects.

"As long as I am still the Pavilion Master."

"No one can touch my disciple!"

The Divine Weapon Pavilion thought to itself.

"Master."

"I've received the news."

"Many senior brothers and sisters in the pavilion have gone into seclusion in preparation for the Five Sects Grand Competition."

Zhang Yan brought up the matter of the Five Great Competitions.

"I know I can't hide it from you."

"I know you definitely want to participate and bring glory to the pavilion."

"However, you are currently only at the peak of the Golden Core stage."

"The restriction for the Four Sects Grand Competition is that disciples under the age of five hundred can participate."

“You are not even two hundred years old yet, and by participating in this competition, you have already suffered a great loss in terms of the amount of time you have spent cultivating.”

"With your talent, you'd be better suited to participate in the next major competition."

"But to truly rise to prominence, waiting another two hundred years or so is not too much."

"I believe that two hundred years from now, you will surely shine brightly!"

The Divine Weapon Pavilion sighed softly and spoke kindly.

The Four Sects Grand Competition is a contest between disciples, with the only restriction being that they must be under five hundred years old.

The disciples who are five hundred years old, those with higher talent, have already reached the Dharma Aspect Realm.

Zhang Yan is currently not yet at the Nascent Soul stage.

Moreover, they held a prestigious status.

If they were to perish there, it would be the greatest loss for the Divine Weapon Pavilion.

That's why the Master of the Divine Weapon Pavilion kept it a secret from Zhang Yan.

"I don't want him to be affected by this." "Disciple understands."

Zhang Yan understood the Divine Weapon Pavilion Master's thoughts and replied calmly.

"Please accept this treasure."

"If you go out of the sect again in the future, try not to go alone."

After giving his instructions, the Master of the Divine Weapon Pavilion took out a piece of precious armor and gave it to Zhang Yan.

This armor is extremely thin and light.

It is entirely silver-white.

There is a relief of a Qilin (a mythical creature) on the chest area.

Once worn, it can fit snugly against your clothes as you like, and is almost invisible to the naked eye.

Its grade reached the fourth-tier top grade.

It is called the Silver-Gilded Qilin Armor.

Although the attributes are quite ordinary, its defensive capabilities are extremely strong. It can weaken the power of spells cast by cultivators below the peak of the Nascent Soul stage by 90%.

The Divine Weapon Pavilion is famous for its weapon crafting.

Yue Ping possesses a mid-grade fourth-tier armor.

Zhang Yan was naturally no less capable.

In fact, the previous time, the Pavilion Master of the Divine Weapon Pavilion had given Zhang Yan a fourth-grade low-level spirit armor.

He didn't expect that.

Zhang Yan's strength has increased so rapidly.

He was already able to fight Yue Ping, who was in the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, and even had the upper hand.

With this magical armor, Zhang Yan will at least not suffer a loss in terms of magical treasures if he engages in magical battles in the future.

"Thank you, Master!"

Zhang Yan accepted the armor and left the main hall.

"This boy."

"Since the Five Great Competitions have been brought up..."

"I definitely won't give up."

"However, before the grand competition, the Divine Weapon Pavilion will also conduct selections internally."

"At that time, we'll throw cold water on him again."

The voice of the Divine Weapon Pavilion Master echoed in the main hall before finally fading into silence.

……

"Two hundred years."

"too long."

Back in his cave, Zhang Yan sighed deeply.

He has been cultivating for no more than two hundred years.

How can we ask him to wait another two hundred years?

He wouldn't want to wait even a hundred years.

"Refine flying swords."

"Continue to practice."

"Let's break through to the Nascent Soul stage first!"

Zhang Yan took the resources to Huang Lian to exchange for materials to forge flying swords.

Lin Qingyue and others went into seclusion.

The only person Zhang Yan could turn to was Huang Lian.

The 130 million spirit stones are more than enough to upgrade the remaining 120 flying swords to the fourth-tier low-grade.

And so, another six months or so passed.

All 360 flying swords have been upgraded to the fourth-tier low-grade level.

The flying sword has been forged.

Zhang Yan then prepared to devote himself to seclusion and break through to the Nascent Soul stage as soon as possible.

But this day.

The butler delivered a secret letter.

"This secret letter."

"Where did it come from?"

"Who sent it?"

Zhang Yan took the secret letter and questioned the steward.

"Replying to Young Master."

"The secret letter came from the Feathered Dynasty."

"As for who sent it, that's unclear."

"However, the Heavenly Emperor has already checked it, and there are no traps inside."

The butler answered truthfully.

"A secret letter from the Feathered Dynasty?"

"Could it be that Dongfang Weibai is seeking revenge?"

Zhang Yan was somewhat surprised as he opened the secret letter.

His only connection to the Feathered Dynasty.

That is.

The feud between him and the Seventh Prince.

But the Seventh Prince had already died at the hands of the demon race, and had nothing to do with him.

Moreover, he is a disciple of the Divine Weapon Pavilion Master.

If the Feathered Dynasty wants to touch him, it would be to make an enemy of the entire Divine Weapon Pavilion!

"They actually betrayed me?"

Upon opening the secret letter, Zhang Yan was surprised by its contents.

The secret letter was not intended to threaten Zhang Yan.

On the contrary, it was to remind Zhang Yan.

The letter mentioned that the Seventh Prince, Dongfang Weibai, also has a full sister.

She is the sixth princess of the Feathered Dynasty, named Dongfang Yeyang.

Dongfang Yeyang remained deeply troubled after learning of the Seventh Prince's death.

Although the Seventh Prince was not killed by Zhang Yan.

But in her eyes, if it weren't for Zhang Yan, the Seventh Prince wouldn't have died.

So she used her methods to investigate Zhang Yan's information.

She has now discovered that Zhang Yan comes from Middle-earth and is preparing to send people to infiltrate Middle-earth to investigate further.

"Humph!"

Zhang Yan snorted coldly, clutching the secret letter, his eyes filled with chilling intent.

Although the secret letter was directed at the sixth princess of the Feathered Dynasty, Dongfang Yeyang.

but.

The person who sent the secret message was no ordinary individual.

It is the fifth prince of the Feathered Dynasty!

"Son."

"Could it be?"

"Within the Feathered Dynasty, are they deliberately using you in their struggle for the throne?"

The butler, having learned the contents of the secret letter, spoke in a low voice.

"If you dare to take advantage of me."

"Be prepared to pay the price."

"But it's better to believe it's true than to believe it's not."

Zhang Yan said coldly.

He wasn't sure if the butler was right or wrong.

But it is a fact that he was born in Middle-earth.

The fact that this information was found means that the Yuhua Dynasty has never forgotten the death of the Seventh Prince.

and.

Since Zhang Yan began his cultivation, his greatest taboo has been the Central Plains!
Even if the Fifth Prince is using him, he still has to deal with it.

"Go and invite Senior Brother Huang here."

"I am going to see the Fire Dragon Heavenly Lord now."

Zhang Yan put down the secret letter, said something to the steward, and left the cave.

The Fire Dragon Heavenly Lord is in charge of affairs in the lower realm.

The methods employed by the Feathered Dynasty are currently unknown.

Zhang Yan could only plead with the Fire Dragon Heavenly Lord to be more careful.

"I am already aware of this matter."

"With me here, no one can touch the Qingheng Sect."

Fire Dragon Heavenly Lord stroked his beard and said with a chuckle.

"I'm sorry to trouble you, Heavenly Lord!"

Zhang Yan bowed respectfully.

With the Fire Dragon Heavenly Lord's assurance, Zhang Yan felt much more at ease.

The Fire Dragon Heavenly Lord oversees matters in the lower realms and does not hold a high position in the Divine Weapon Pavilion.

It's estimated that there won't be many more opportunities in the future.

He wanted to go further.

The only thing they can rely on is to wait for Zhang Yan to become the new master of the Divine Weapon Pavilion.

Therefore, if Zhang Yan visits in person, the Fire Dragon Heavenly Lord will certainly do his best.

"Junior brother."

"Why are you looking for me?"

Back in the cave, Huang Lian asked curiously.

Zhang Yan has been refining swords recently, and the Huang family has been providing the spiritual materials. Although the price is lower than the market price, the sheer quantity has allowed him to make a considerable profit.

So Huang Lian has been in a pretty good mood lately.

"Look at this secret letter."

Zhang Yan gave the secret letter to Huang Lian.

"The Feathered Dynasty?"

"They still haven't given up!"

Huang Lian quickly understood the cause and effect, and his face darkened.

The Huang family is now bound to Zhang Yan.

One glory and one glory.

The Feathered Dynasty's move is aimed at the Huang family!

"Senior brother."

"Please."

"Use the Huang family's influence to help me investigate the Fifth Prince and the Sixth Princess."

Zhang Yan made the request.

"I will handle it."

Huang Lian put down the secret letter, patted his chest, and left.

With the Fire Dragon Heavenly Lord in charge, the Sixth Princess's subordinates cannot pose a threat to the Qingheng Sect.

However, Zhang Yan must retaliate in this matter!

However, this is a private matter.

He wasn't prepared to trouble the Divine Weapon Pavilion Master, so he could only ask Huang Lian for help.

Huang Lian returned to the Huang family home and got busy.

Zhang Yan had no interest in cultivation and waited for news from Huang Lian.

I waited for two days.

Zhang Yan didn't see Huang Lian, but instead encountered his former Seventh Imperial Consort, Xiao Wanyi. (End of Chapter)
