Longevity: Starting with an infant's innate growth potential

As a large amount of malevolent mist was absorbed, the evil-repelling stone turned pitch black again, with an extremely dense black crystalline light inside.

This is the essence of the surrounding hundreds of feet of malevolent mist.

During this process, Zhou Ling also needs to use the spell to control the inscription, to control the inscription, and to make the inscription continuously absorb the evil mist and compress and condense it into evil crystal.

If a spell isn't used to speed up the absorption process, this effect won't be achieved.

Of course, if this absorption imprint were made by someone else, without the assistance of the Blazing Sun Flame, the effect would not be as high as Zhou Ling's.

After all, the Blazing Sun Flame possesses unique spiritual flame attributes, making it the greatest nemesis of these evil mists.

Immediately, Zhou Ling had a thought, and a flash of flame appeared in his hand.

The blazing sun and the scorching flames condensed and shone with golden light.

With a flick of his wrist, Zhou Ling sent a wisp of flame landing on the exorcising stone.

As the flames subsided, wisps of black energy on the exorcising stone were continuously burned away.

Within ten breaths, the black evil crystals inside the evil-repelling stone completely dissolved, restoring its bright red state.

Then, Zhou Ling moved his hand and put the spiritual flame back into his body.

Then he went to the warding-off-evil stone, bent down, and couldn't wait to check its condition.

Seeing this miraculous scene, the others also followed.

Commander Zhang and the others had eyes full of excitement.

If the evil mist can be removed so easily, it will be of great help in seizing this desolate rocky planet.

Not only this desolate rocky planet, but the entire Youyun Starfield can reduce huge casualties.

Zhou Ling carefully examined the evil-repelling stone. The inscription inside was still intact, and it could be used one or two more times.

"That's right. It can absorb the evil mist within a radius of 150 feet at a time, and one evil-repelling stone can be used two or three times."

"With further improvements, the effect can be enhanced."

"This effect consumes far less energy than directly using the Blazing Sun Flame."

"Moreover, it can be promoted comprehensively."

Looking at the warding-off-evil stone in his hand, Zhou Ling's face lit up with joy.

The consumption of the Blazing Sun Flame this time was negligible.

Yesterday's purification of an area of ​​several hundred feet, although low in consumption, still consumed nearly 10%.

Using it multiple times will consume a lot of energy.

Today's outcome can be described as having consumed absolutely no energy.

This is a hundredfold increase in efficiency.

"Chief Zhou, how difficult is it to refine this evil-repelling stone?"

Commander Zhang asked Zhou Ling with an excited expression.

"This Absorbing Evil Seal is a third- or fourth-order inscription, which can be crafted by a third-grade weapon refiner."

"This warding-off stone is effective; it will be much easier to remove these evil spirits in the future."

Zhou Ling looked relaxed; refining this Absorbing Evil Seal was not difficult for him.

With this effect, dealing with the Golden-Eyed Spirit Clan will be much easier.

"Zhou Zhishou, may I take this evil-repelling stone back to Cloud Sea Immortal City?"

"I'd like to hand it over to the city lord and see if he can arrange for a weapon refiner to forge more."

After a moment's hesitation, Commander Zhang cautiously inquired of Zhou Ling again.

After all, this inscription involves Zhou Ling's weapon-refining heritage, and he doesn't know if Zhou Ling is willing to make this inscription public.

"No problem, it was originally researched to remove this evil mist, you can take it."

"If other weapon refiners can forge it, it will also reduce the casualties of our human cultivators."

Zhou Ling nodded and said.

"Zhou Zhishou's leadership is of utmost righteousness!"

Commander Zhang bowed to Zhou Ling with a look of admiration.

He then carefully put away the evil-repelling stone and gave Vice Commander Gu a final instruction: "If I'm not at the camp, everyone must obey Chief Zhou's orders."

Such an important matter naturally required him to report it to Lord Chen as soon as possible.

Arrange for a weapon refiner to forge this evil-repelling stone as soon as possible.

This is much more effective than the evil-repelling formation.

It can reduce unnecessary casualties among cultivators.

"Yes, Commander."

Vice Commander Gu cupped his hands in reply.

Commander Zhang bid farewell to Zhou Ling, then boarded the warship with the exorcising stone and left the stronghold.

"Boss, Commander Zhang is being a bit too hasty with this chapter."

Qi Jianzhi said to Zhou Ling.

"Fellow Daoist Qi, you are unaware of how much these evil mists affect us."

"In the Fiend Mist, we will be greatly suppressed, and with the addition of the Golden-Eyed Spirit Clan's Blood Soul Attack, the power is truly terrifying."

"Most of our fallen cultivators were killed under these circumstances."

"Therefore, removing the evil mist as soon as possible is a matter of life and death for all of us."

Deputy Commander Gu explained to Qi Jianzhi.

"understand."

Qi Jianzhi nodded in reply.

Yan Yutian, Feng Lan, and the others looked at Zhou Ling with surprise.

Everyone arrived at the base at the same time.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Ling devised a solution to the evil mist in just one day.

Such ability is simply terrifying.

It should be understood that the joint development of this Youyun Starfield by the four major grotto heavens is not a matter of just one or two years.

It has been more than a decade.

During this period, many sorcerers will naturally try to remove these evil mists.

The method of dispelling evil spirits is the most effective way that people have summarized to remove evil spirits.

However, Zhou Ling was able to use local materials to refine this highly efficient evil-absorbing stone in such a short time.

Such talent and adaptability are truly admirable.

"Feng Zhizheng, Yan Zhizheng, each of you lead a team to patrol the camp in coordination with the cultivators at the stronghold."

Zhou Ling spoke up, speaking to Feng Lan and Yan Yutian.

Now that there is a way to remove the evil mist, there is no need to search for the Golden-Eyed Spirit Clan's tribe.

Directly clear the land and exorcise evil spirits.

Once the stronghold is expanded to a sufficient scale, the Golden-Eyed Spirit Clan will naturally be unable to sit still and will come knocking on the door.

Back then, without the blessing of the evil mist, dealing with them would have been much easier.

Therefore, the most urgent task is to refine more evil-repelling stones.

"Yes, take the head."

"Yes, take the head."

Feng Lan and the other person bowed to Zhou Ling in response.

Yan Yutian's tone also became more respectful.

He couldn't help but admire Zhou Ling's astonishing abilities and talent.

After assigning tasks to everyone, Zhou Ling returned to his tent.

He took out the Black Fiend Stone, condensed the Radiant Sun Burning Heaven Flame, and began refining the Fiend Absorbing Stone.

······.

The main hall of the City Lord's Mansion in the Cloud Sea Immortal City.

The burly and serene-looking Lord Chen sat in the main seat.

On either side below him sat a dozen or so Nascent Soul cultivators from Cloud Sea Immortal City.

Lord Xin was among them.

The group was discussing the upcoming battle against the Golden-Eyed Spirit Clan.

"Reporting to the city lord, Commander Zhang requests an audience."

At this moment, a guard entered the main hall and respectfully reported to Lord Chen.

"Zhang Cheng is not stationed on Shiyan Star, so why is he returning to Yunhai Immortal City at this time?"

"Has something happened at the base?"

Upon hearing the guard's report, the Nascent Soul cultivators who were discussing the matter couldn't help but show surprise.

"Let him in."

Lord Chen's gaze darkened, and he waved his hand, saying...

The commanders of the outposts on the desolate planets generally do not leave their strongholds easily unless there is a major event.

Commander Zhang was ordered yesterday to lead the Dao Alliance trial cultivators to the stronghold.

Today I returned to the Immortal City of Clouds and Seas.

Something must have happened.
Surely the disciples from the Dao Alliance who came to participate in the trial wouldn't be so easily defeated and wiped out by the Golden-Eyed Spirit Clan? The next second, Commander Zhang rushed into the main hall in a great hurry.

He looked travel-worn and weary.

"Greetings, Lord Chen, and all other city lords."

Commander Zhang and the others bowed respectfully.

City Lord Chen nodded slightly and said in a deep voice, "Commander Zhang, what brings you back to Cloud Sea Immortal City in such a hurry?"

"Could it be related to the cultivators participating in the Dao Alliance trials?"

Looking at Commander Zhang, whose aura of magical power was thick and strong, there was no trace of the aura of a great battle.

That's why he asked that question.

"Reporting to the city lord, it is indeed a matter related to Chief Zhou."

Commander Zhang cupped his hands in greeting.

As soon as he finished speaking, he took out the evil-repelling stone from his storage ring and handed it to City Lord Chen.

He smiled and said, "City Lord, this is a warding-off-evil stone that Chief Zhou refined overnight."

"It is made by using black evil stone as the main material, and then using his unique evil-absorbing inscription to refine it."

"This evil-repelling stone can absorb evil mist within a radius of three hundred feet, and its effect is much better than the evil-repelling formation."

"Moreover, the risk is not great. As long as the evil-repelling stone is placed in the evil mist and controlled by a Golden Core cultivator, the evil mist can be absorbed."

"what?"

"A warding stone absorbs evil mist? I've never heard of that before."

"They only arrived at the stronghold yesterday, and they were able to refine such a good thing overnight, with effects even better than the exorcising array. How is that possible?"

"According to information obtained from the Dao Alliance, this Chief Zhou is already a fifth-level weapon refiner despite his young age."

"If it really works, then it will be a great service to my Cloud Sea Immortal City."

"Not only Cloud Sea Immortal City, but all human cultivators stationed in the star field will benefit."

Upon hearing Commander Zhang's words, all the Nascent Soul cultivators present were filled with surprise and shock.

Among them were fifth-tier weapon refiners, who naturally understood just how difficult it was to create such a self-made inscription.

"Let me see."

Lord Chen was also somewhat incredulous.

After all, Zhou Ling only had a day to create such a treasure.

He hung the warding-off-evil stone in front of him and examined it carefully.

"They actually used spiritual flames to directly refine the inscription."

"Such precise control is not something that ordinary weapon refiners can achieve."

Looking at the evil-repelling stone, Lord Chen's face quickly lit up with joy, and he praised, "Good, good, good."

"This Chief Zhou is so young, yet he not only has amazing cultivation in lightning attribute, but also has such attainments in weapon forging."

"If it really works like that, then dealing with the Golden-Eyed Spirit Clan will be much easier."

"Zhou Zhishou has also made great contributions to our human race."

After saying that, he waved his hand and said, "Come, everyone, follow me to see how effective this evil-repelling stone is."

He then led the way out of the main hall.

The others followed closely behind.

Soon they arrived at the top of the massive city wall.

The city walls were shrouded in a blue light.

Hundreds of feet away from the light barrier was an incredibly dense aura of black evil.

Commander Zhang, carrying the exorcising stone, walked straight into the evil mist.

On the city wall, Lord Chen and the others watched intently.

Everyone wants to know how effective this warding-off stone is.
A few breaths later, a vortex of flames condensed in Commander Zhang's hand.

The malevolent mist surrounding him was rapidly sucked into the vortex.

In a short while, a clear area of ​​several tens of feet in diameter appeared around Commander Zhang.

"The effect is truly amazing."

"This is great."

"It's that simple. It's much easier than setting up an evil-repelling formation."

The Nascent Soul cultivators couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

They all knew that the evil mist was difficult to remove.

But this warding-off stone is so simple.

It was so simple that it seemed unbelievable to them.

Before long, Commander Zhang returned to the city wall.

"Zhu Zhizheng, do you think this evil-repelling stone can be mass-produced?"

Lord Chen solemnly handed the warding-off stone to an old man with a gray-white goatee.

The old man was Zhu Shan, the chief craftsman of the Heavenly Crafts Department of the Cloud Sea Immortal City.

Zhu Shan took the warding-off stone and examined it carefully.

His eyes narrowed slightly, and the more he looked, the more surprised he became, praising, "This Chief Zhou's talent in weapon forging is truly unbelievable."

"He truly has the potential to become a grandmaster and establish his own school of thought."

"They even came up with the idea of ​​such a spirally stacked inscription."

Upon hearing Zhu Zhishou's words, the others were even more shocked.

Establishing a school of thought is not something that can be done casually.

How old is Zhou Ling?
Then Zhu Zhizheng said to City Lord Chen, "This Absorbing Evil Inscription needs to be designed with the Inscription Structure by Zhou Zhizheng before it can be refined."

"Moreover, it was drawn with the spiritual flame in the hands of Chief Zhou. Other weapon refiners might not be able to achieve the same effect."

"Since that's the case, then you will come with me to the desolate planet of Stone Rock."

"As soon as possible, we need to clarify the situation of this evil-absorbing inscription with Chief Zhou and strive to refine the evil-repelling stone."

Upon hearing this, City Lord Chen nodded.

······.

"call!"

Inside the tent, Zhou Ling exhaled and looked at the three exorcising stones in front of him with a satisfied expression.

I stretched and decided to take a break.

After drawing three warding-off stones in succession, about 30% of the magical power in his body was consumed.

It's not a big deal, but it still needs to be restored.

He immediately took out the pill and put it in his mouth. Then he circulated his internal energy to absorb the medicinal power.

With the help of two talents, [Restore to Original State] and [Medicinal Stress Response], he can recover quickly.

After carefully putting away the three stones to ward off evil spirits, he left the camp.

Then, Feng Lan, Qi Jianzhi, and Pei Qingshuang were assigned to take three exorcising stones and absorb the black evil energy around the camp.

In no time, another four or five hundred feet of clear land were cleared around the camp.

Moreover, it absorbed all the evil energy from the ground.

There's no need for a dispelling array; you can directly move the array to cover it.

This speed is much faster than yesterday.

Whoosh!
At that moment, a warship landed on the camp.

Everyone saw Commander Zhang and City Lord Chen jump off the warship.

"Zhou Zhishou is truly a young hero!"

City Lord Chen cupped his hands in a gesture of respect and praised Zhou Ling.

Their attitude towards Zhou Ling was very different from before.

I used to see Zhou Ling as someone who treated younger people more like family.

But this would mean treating Zhou Ling as the leader.

On the warship, Lord Chen and the others witnessed firsthand how the area around the camp expanded by hundreds of feet in a short period of time.

At this rate, a small immortal city area could be developed in ten days.

"Greetings, Lord Chen, and all other lords."

Zhou Ling also bowed to the others.

A few brief pleasantries.

"Could Zhou Zhishou give me the structural diagram of this Absorbing Evil Inscription?"

The matter was of great importance, so Lord Chen stated his purpose directly.

"it is good."

Zhou Ling nodded directly.

He then took out a jade slip and handed it over.

"Chief Zhou was very generous. I have 20,000 military merits to reward you for this assessment. I'll give them to you now."

City Lord Chen patted Zhou Ling on the shoulder and said with a smile. (End of Chapter)
