Practice begins with a fisherman

Only the second-order spiritual weapons of the monk Yu Kai in the foundation-building period can be regarded as initially possessing some spiritual weapons. The magic weapon of Yu Kai, a great supernatural being in the Jindan period, already has the function of automatically protecting the master, but these are very far away from him. The most important thing at present It is the refinement of the first-order low-quality water fork.

Another thing to note is that magic tools cannot be included in the dantian. They are usually stored in storage bags when not in use on weekdays. Dantian yunyang is a unique symbol of treasures above spirit tools.

According to the "Ripple Kungfu" running the big circle, only when it passes through the hands, it will slowly infiltrate the inside of the water control fork, which is equivalent to artificially adding an extracorporeal process, and of course the consumption of mana has increased.

However, the process of completing the familiarization of mana and magic weapon has a great positive effect on the refining of the magic weapon later, although there are some consumptions that must be completed at all costs.

The process of mana familiarization lasted a particularly long time. It was not until the scorching sun rose on the second day that the feeling of stagnation in the process of mana circulation completely disappeared, which meant that now the refinement of the first-level low-grade water fork could officially begin.

"The refining of magic weapon is easy at the beginning and difficult to finish. In order to be able to command each magic pattern like an arm, it needs the input of mana to refine it. It is not until the essence core magic pattern is completed." While recalling in a low voice, he began to carefully manipulate the dantian The mana inside twisted into a rope and spiraled towards the inside of the water control fork.

Although there is enough time to get familiar with it, when the formal refinement begins, the rebound force transmitted from within the spell pattern is still strong. Whenever the mana tries to refine the spell pattern, it will always be rebounded at the right time. The power pops out of the magic pattern.

The entire refining process is like a cruel battlefield and a tug-of-war. Every minute, countless mana soldiers die in battle, and every bit of magic pattern refined is the result of countless mana's desperate efforts.

The sun rose and the moon set, and day and night rotated. Little by little, little by little made more. After three days and nights, Zhao Shoushou, who was pale, had just entered the core magic pattern area.

"Victory is just around the corner, the core magic pattern is refined, and the first-level low-grade control water fork is about to be completed." Enduring the feeling of weakness caused by excessive mana consumption, Zhao Shoushou is ready to go all out to refine it. success.

At this point, he understood why only those who reached the third level of Qi Refining were qualified to refine magic weapons. According to the current situation, even if they obtained magic tools at the first and second levels of Qi Training in advance, they would only be greedy. Forcible refining can only end in failure.

The core dharma pattern belongs to the foundation of a magic weapon, which is different from the previous refinement equivalent to the branch dharma pattern, which requires a lot of effort to succeed. Zhao Shoushou, who is determined, forcibly condenses the last bit of mana in his dantian, along the meridians and the already refined The magic pattern goes upstream.

The spewing mana directly acts on the core magic pattern, and the interaction between the two is like a thousand flowers blooming, shining bewitching light. The intrusion power of mana and the instantaneous resistance force of the core magic pattern, A strong tug-of-war is formed, and only the winner can control the situation and move forward.

With the passage of time, the core pattern was eventually defeated by Rootless Ping, and after a quarter of an hour with Zhao Shoushou's full support, mana had gradually invaded into the core pattern.

Chapter 44 The Evil Water Snake

The stalemate between the two lasted for about a quarter of an hour. When the last bit of mana in Zhao Shoushou's dantian was about to be exhausted, the little mana left in the core pattern finally won an overwhelming victory and poured into it successfully. Refining.

"Ding" only heard a soft sound at the moment of successful refining, and the ubiquitous resistance before the refining disappeared instantly. It was like a part of the body, and this feeling was amazing.

The water control fork with a body length of more than [-] meters can easily and flexibly jump between ten fingers like an obedient elf. It only needs to practice the object control technique proficiently to truly display the power of the magic weapon.

Controlling Objects is one of the most widely used spells in the cultivation world to manipulate magic tools, and it is also the basis for various other types of manipulation spells. After purchasing magic tools, it is given by Siheyuan.

"The feeling of emptiness hits me, and the mana in the dantian is exhausted. It's better to quickly restore the mana in the dantian." The excitement of refining the magic weapon can't match the feeling of emptiness caused by excessive mana consumption.

In addition to the feeling of weakness, it is actually a wonderful opportunity. Every time mana is exhausted, it is also an opportunity for one's own cultivation. After recovery, there will definitely be a lot of progress.

What's more, under the blockade of the first-level low-grade fire array, the spread of spiritual power in the cave has been completely suppressed, and the relative abundance of spiritual power is more effective with half the effort.

Sitting cross-legged on the other side of the spiritual vein, running the Great Circle according to the "Ripple Kung Fu", I just feel a burst of cool water-attribute spiritual power on the outer layer of the skin, and when the Great Circle moves to this point, I can join it and become part of the mana a member.

Compared with the inert spiritual power in the mundane world before, the degree and efficiency of the refining of the autonomous spiritual power from the spiritual veins is too high. After each big cycle, the spiritual power in the dantian will recover in a manner visible to the naked eye.

With the restoration of mana, Zhao Shoushou's originally pale face gradually became rosy again, and his rapid breathing became more stable and longer.

After two days and nights, Zhao Shoushou's dantian, which was empty, was filled up, and the concentration was even higher than before. Whenever mana flowed, there would be faint and crisp sounds.

"Everyone run for your lives, a black snake tens of meters long is making trouble, it can swallow a wooden boat in one bite"

"I don't know where this monster came from. At least a dozen people died in Shekou"

"God is sorry, fishing has been a living for generations, how will the small people of Shengdou survive in the future?"

"Master Hu Bo and Master Poseidon appeared and helped the people of Cormorant Island kill the black snake. We will worship them for generations."

At the same time when Zhao Shoushou completely restored his cultivation base, the wharf in the northwest of Cormorant Island, which was originally the busiest place for people coming and going, was full of wailing sounds one after another at this moment.

Large and small temples such as lake temples and land temples, which were originally empty, flooded into a large number of people to pray in an instant, regardless of whether it was effective or not, and hoped for it.

Some mortals even began to pray for the protection of their ancestors in front of their ancestral graves. It was because of this that Zhao Shoushou accidentally learned about the so-called black snake.

"It's tens of meters long, with a huge mouth that can swallow a boat. The snake's skin is indestructible. It can't be harmed by swords, bows and guns. If monsters enter the Cormorant Lake and make trouble?" Zhao Shoushou seemed very interested in the so-called black snake.

As a native monk of Cormorant Island, he is willing to give it a try if he has enough energy to ensure the safety of his life, not to mention that every monster is a white spirit stone in his eyes.

Killing a rebellious first-level low-grade monster can not only gain a good reputation, but also exchange for spirit stones. Isn't it a typical example of killing two birds with one stone and killing two birds with one stone?

The most important reason is that as a water attribute monk, with the help of the water fork of the first-level low-level quality control and two low-level first-level spirit beast cormorants, he has the confidence to kill the monster.

Of course, Hubomiao and his party are necessary before this. As a god of one side, Huhu has the function of protecting one side's safety and beheading chaos monsters.

After all, every time a rebellious monster devours a person in Cormorant Lake, Uncle Hu will lose some power of faith. As time goes on, without offering sacrifices and offerings, it will naturally become more and more difficult for the lake to move forward.

At this time, if there are monks who are willing to help, the lake must be happy. If you are lucky, you may have a chance to get some benefits, such as the first-level low-grade water-attribute spirit grass.

Of course, the premise of all this is naturally that the rank of the black snake that caused the chaos has never exceeded the first rank. If the strength is too strong, Zhao Shoushou will naturally focus on protecting his own life, and will not lose his life inexplicably by participating in it.

In the evening, Zhao Shoushou appeared at the sea pier in the northwest corner. The bustling pier had completely quieted down. Before going to the Huber Temple, it was natural to investigate and confirm the black snake's cultivation.

This is not difficult to do. Go to the area where the black snake appeared in the daytime, and through the subtle difference between mana and breath, you can naturally judge that it is almost inseparable.

Zhao Shoushou is not worried that the Black Snake is too powerful. It is not because the so-called high-skilled people are bold, but because a fisherman once escaped under the Shekou during the day. Based on this, it can be judged that the Black Snake's strongest strength will not exceed the first-level middle-grade , Even if you lose in a frontal battle, you are sure to save your life.

Of course, this trip to investigate is naturally fully armed, and the newly refined first-level low-quality control water fork will naturally not fall. Two first-level low-grade cormorants stand proudly on the bow of the ship, looking loyal to protect the master.

The afterglow of the setting sun had disappeared, and in the faint darkness, one person, one boat, and two cormorants walked firmly in the direction where the black snake had appeared. At this moment, it seemed as if they were the only ones left in the world.

"In order to fight for the position of Uncle Hu, you have to resort to such despicable means that will hurt both sides, so what if you take the seal of Uncle Hu? It's extremely abominable." In the luxurious underwater palace in the depths of Cormorant Lake, Uncle Hu was roaring. .

In the vast hall, the shrimp soldiers, crabs, mussels, and female tortoise prime ministers were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and dared not move a little, lest they would be obliterated by the furious Hu Bo in the past.

As the saying goes, when gods fight with little ghosts, and when the city gate catches fire, the fish in the pond are affected. The two gods compete for the throne of Hu Bo, and the unlucky ones are mortals who have no power to resist after all.

"Calm down Uncle Hu, Xiaogui thinks this is a good opportunity. A mere low-grade beast of the first rank only needs to summon the nearby monks to take action, and it will naturally be captured by hand, which will greatly increase Uncle Hu's prestige," said Prime Minister Turtle. Small eyes rolled.

"The spiritual energy near the Cormorant Lake is barren. Where will monks stay for a long time? Wouldn't it be worth the loss to summon Uncle Hu from a long distance?" Uncle Hu can naturally think of such a simple solution, so he naturally refuted and reprimanded him unceremoniously.

"Uncle Hu, have you forgotten the monk who once traded the first-order low-grade spiritual incense?" Prime Minister Gui asked tentatively.

Chapter 45

"The little casual cultivator on the second floor of Qi training can kill the black water snake? If he sacrificed his life in vain, wouldn't it mean that he lost his wife and lost his army?" According to the trading rules, if he was killed by a monster, Uncle Hu would definitely suffer backlash to varying degrees.

Although the black water snake is a relatively common water-attribute monster and does not have any special supernatural powers, it is better than the indestructible snake skin. If there is no magic weapon in hand, it will be impossible to break through the defense.

Loose cultivator itself is a representative of poverty. Every low-grade spirit stone is hard-won. Most of the spirit stones will be used to buy some spirit pills to improve the cultivation level. Under normal circumstances, they will only be promoted after the middle stage of Qi refining. Consider buying your first relic of your own.

It is impossible to break through the powerful defense of the Black Water Snake just by relying on some spells or talismans. To sum up, this is the reason why Uncle Hu hesitated again and again.

According to the actual situation of casual cultivators, even if everything goes well, no matter what, he does not believe that the little guy who worked so hard to advance to the second level of Qi refining two years ago has now advanced to the middle stage of Qi refining and has his own magic weapon, so Uncle Hu is worried. It also makes sense.

If it hadn't been for the black-clothed ghost cultivator serving as a qualified money-giving boy during the last trip to the Ziyu Mountains, neither the storage bag nor the first-level low-grade magic weapon is something that can be expected now.

"Uncle Hu, a large number of fishermen will unfortunately die every night. If things go on like this, it is tantamount to cutting their own foundations. Casual cultivators have the character of sacrificing their lives and not giving up money. As long as they send out some first-level low-grade spiritual herbs, the little guy back then will surely die." Willing to take risks," Prime Minister Gui, who acted as a think tank, earnestly persuaded.

Regardless of what Uncle Hu decides in the end, the little casual cultivator they don't trust has already appeared in a boat at the place where the first-tier black water snake haunts. .

"Mana into Velvet, Pursuit of Water Snake Qi, Tracking Technique, Edict" Zhao Shoushou shouted loudly, and more than a hundred times of mana emerged from his fingertips one after another, and disappeared into the air from different directions.

The first-level low-level tracking technique is an entry-level spell, which can discover and gather most of the dissipated aura. Only in this way can the level of the monster be judged more accurately.

"It's a pity that it came a little later. If it was an hour earlier, it would be more accurate. It's a first-order low-grade peak-level snake monster." After a cup of tea, Zhao Shoushou said regretfully, with a slightly hesitant look on his face.

Snake monsters are relatively powerful existences among water attribute monsters. The toxins of most snake monsters after mutation are not easy to deal with, especially when there is no detoxification panacea, you must be careful when dealing with them.

The first-rank low-rank peak-level monster is basically similar to his current cultivation level of the third level of Qi training. With the assistance of two cormorants, it is not impossible to win as long as he is careful.

"There are monsters making trouble in Cormorant Lake. I wonder what price Uncle Hu is willing to pay? This is a good opportunity to blackmail you." After making up his mind, Zhao Shoushou relaxed.

He took out a simple and rough wooden god statue in the center of the lake, and lit a first-grade low-grade god-worshiping incense, and he was going to communicate right here.

"Uncle Hu, respectfully, Xiaoxiu Zhao Shoushou, I saw a black snake making trouble in the lake today, and dozens of fishermen died because of it. , please help Hu Bo to show his spirit, and let him die," Zhao Shoushou chanted devoutly as he lit the spirit incense.

"Uncle Hu has a kind heart and cannot bear the suffering of fishermen. He misses your sincere heart. Uncle Hu bestowed four plants of the lower-grade water-attribute spiritual grass and three raw crystal ores of the first-grade lower-grade water attribute. 500 meters from the unnamed island to receive "I don't know how long it took, Prime Minister Turtle's words appeared directly in his ears, and the deal was concluded.

Four first-tier low-grade low-grade spirit grasses and three first-grade low-grade crystal raw ore can be exchanged for at least ten low-grade spirit stones. The spoils of the first-grade low-grade black water snake itself can be exchanged for at least 13 yuan of low-grade spirit stones after this battle is over. A sure-fire deal.

One night was fleeting. On the second day, with the scorching sun rising, Zhao Shoushou opened his eyes and a flash of light flashed across his eyes. He was ready to wait for the appearance of the black water snake. A low-grade water fork of the first rank was flickering nearby. With a cold glow, it seems that he can't wait to drink the snake's blood to open the seal.

"Hiss..." The black water snake still couldn't bear the loneliness. It didn't take long for a giant snake with a body length of more than six meters and a diameter of more than [-] centimeters to come screaming and biting.

"What a wicked animal, how dare you act fiercely in front of Zhao. If you don't chop you under the water control fork today, how can you show my majesty as a human monk? Eat me with a fork!" Zhao Shoushou yelled deafeningly, holding the water control fork Walk on water.

"Quak quack quack" the two low-rank cormorants were also not to be outdone. Their thick short legs suddenly kicked on the bow of the boat, and followed their masters one after the other to pinch the black water snake.

The biggest advantage of the low-level water control fork is naturally to control the water flow. I saw Zhao Shoushou swiping the water control fork downward in his hand. In an instant, dozens of various aquatic beasts composed of endless lake water have already attacked the black water snake. , entangled from different positions up, down, left, and right.

At the same time, the only two first-tier low-grade fireball charms left in his storage bag were activated decisively, and six red fireballs shone with high temperature, directly attacking the raised belly of the black water snake.

Water can extinguish fire, and fire can also ignite water. Therefore, fire attribute spells have a natural restraint on water attribute monsters. When the fireball appears, one can faintly feel the fear of the black water snake.

Of course, it can stand out from the huge number of snakes and be promoted to a low-rank peak-level monster. The black water snake is also not an easy one. I saw its strong and powerful tail sweeping back and forth, and most of the water beasts composed of lake water disappeared.

The remaining parts have not yet achieved results. After the snake mouth opened for a while to bite, all of them turned into sea water. Fortunately, one or two reached the attacking position, but only left some white marks without causing any damage.

During this period, the two cormorants were the opportunity to seize the black water snake to deal with the water beast, and the first-grade low-grade water arrows and ice arrows went straight to the seven inches that were accidentally exposed during the biting process.

Hit a snake to hit seven inches, the snake skin of the black water snake is indestructible, the only seven inch part of the whole body is the biggest weakness, as long as it hits it, it will definitely gain something, not to mention that the first-level low-grade ice arrow is good at attacking.

"Hiss hisss" Frost arrows and water arrows pierced into the black water snake at the same time, especially the ice arrows were more than halfway in. The severe pain made all its counterattacks disappear without a trace in an instant, and only the last one remained. Primal instinct.

"Naiming!" At the moment the black water snake retracted, Zhao Shoushou jumped forward and flew forward without retreating. Before the black water snake could react, he stabbed fiercely from the head, even though snake monsters are famous for their strong vitality , but two consecutive heavy blows are enough to kill him.

Chapter 46 The Unexpected Snake Egg

"Could it be that I met a fake black water snake? The first-order low-grade peak-level snake demon is so weak?" He felt unbelievable to end the battle so easily.

Back in the Purple Jade Mountains, he did not hesitate to injure a low-rank Fengling wolf at the price of serious injuries. Compared with the improvement in cultivation base and the improved combat effectiveness of the low-rank water fork, it should not be so simple Right?

According to his estimate, if he wanted to kill the low-grade black water snake of the first rank, he would have to go back and forth at least several times, and even be prepared to be injured again, but who would have thought that everything would be so simple.

From the very beginning of the battle, although the Black Water Snake fought back fiercely, its weakness and weakness could not be concealed. Could it be that this was an injured Black Water Snake, who was taken advantage of by chance?

"Opportunity and luck are also a kind of strength. How can we not take advantage of it? Now is not the time to get entangled. Let's take out the black water snake skin and snake gall first. In addition, the rewards from the Hubo Mansion also need to be taken as soon as possible." Sober up from the battle Zhao Shoushou, who came over, didn't hesitate any longer, and braced himself to pack up the spoils.

The first-grade low-grade black water snake skin can be called the top-grade treasure among the first-grade low-grade materials, whether it is used to make robes or defensive magic weapons, a complete snake skin can be exchanged for four to six low-grade spirit stones.

Another most important treasure is the snake gall, which can clear the heart, improve eyesight and remove toxins. Although its value is higher, Zhao Shoushou is not ready to sell it.

It can stimulate a kind of magical power called "Delusion Breaking Eye", which can see through most illusions and illusion formations. It is extremely powerful, and even if it cannot be awakened, it will have a great effect on monks.

Snake gallbladder, combined with the first-grade low-grade monkey wine that he has never taken, can clear his heart and eyesight, and consolidate his foundation. It will definitely be of great benefit to his future practice.

Although Zhao Shoushou is greedy for money, the root of everything is to improve his own strength, so that he can go further on the road of cultivation. Naturally, he will not exchange rare treasures for Lingshi.

"What a huge snake gall, it's really a treasure. I wonder if there is any treasure left behind in this black water snake's lair?" Zhao Shoushou whispered to himself, quite greedy.

Generally speaking, there are many treasures in the old nest of every sea snake. At least there must be snake grass with different functions, but this black water snake obviously just moved here. The nest is most likely empty.

However, according to his stingy personality, he would definitely not be willing to give up just now. Wouldn't it be a waste if there were treasures in the black water snake's nest?

"This place is the first haunt of black water snakes, and it appeared nearby before the war. The snake's nest must not be far away. No matter whether there is any gain or not, you can only be reconciled after finding out." After much thinking, it will not consume too much Given the time constraints, greed and stinginess prevailed after all, so I decided to investigate.

Along the river where black water snakes infested, Zhao Shoushou used the water travel technique to move forward smoothly. The location of the snake's nest was not too hidden among the chaotic rocks. Three snake eggs the size of a fist were neatly nesting in the snake's nest. placed.

"Black water snake snake eggs, two of them have a breath of life, and one is a dead egg. Snake monsters are also a good choice, and they can be sold for a good price." Zhao Shoushou picked up the snake eggs one by one with an excited expression. I was very proud of my decision to find the snake's nest.

So far, the unresolved mystery that the Black Water Snake, which is at the peak level of the first-rank low-rank, has never displayed its original strength in battle, is now the truth.

First-tier low-grade black water snake eggs are relatively unpopular trophies. Each live egg that can be hatched is worth at least three low-grade spirit stones. Dead eggs can be used to feed the two cormorants under his command, which is also a good tonic.

At the same time, in the depths of the Cormorant Lake, in Hubo Water Palace, because Zhao Shoushou showed his supernatural power, he easily killed the evil black water snake. Hubo's worries disappeared immediately, and he was ready to fight the contenders with all his strength. Of course, for casual cultivators Rewards are essential.

"A rogue cultivator can kill the black water snake so quickly, this Uncle Hu means what he says, all rewards will be doubled, and he will be sent to the Unnamed Island immediately." Uncle Hu, who is rich in Cormorant Lake, said generously.

The cormorant lake covers a vast area, and there are abundant spiritual veins near the water palace. With the efforts of a large number of shrimp soldiers and crab generals, various spiritual grasses have continuously entered the treasure house. The first-level low-grade spiritual grass is just the lowest level for Hubo. The presence.

"Uncle Hu is wise, as long as the reputation of honoring your promises spreads, there will surely be a large number of monks who can command in the future, and the lineage of Cormorant Lake will surely flourish in the future, and Hu Bo's cultivation will rise step by step." The small-eyed Prime Minister Turtle flattered .

"Call together all the shrimp soldiers and crab generals to attack with Uncle Hu, and completely drive away the wild gods who are trying to compete for the god's position." All worries were gone, and the high-spirited Uncle Hu gave an order, and a battle for the position of God was about to begin.

Zhao Shoushou, who was far away on the unnamed island, didn't know that although he had won a lot of spiritual grass and spiritual materials, he accidentally fell into the battle for the throne because of a low-grade black water snake of the first rank.

Because Hubo was conferred by the imperial court as a deity recognized by heaven and earth, there are also some powerful wild gods who were sacrificed by humans for various reasons but were not conferred by the imperial concubine.

The wild gods are powerful, but they are always not justified. Whenever there is a suitable opportunity, they will definitely make a move in an attempt to fight for the justified god position. There are many losers but there are also some successful ones.

"Four first-rank low-grade Shuihe plants, four first-rank low-grade Sleeping King Lilies, six first-grade low-grade high-purity crystal raw ore, tsk tsk tsk, as expected of a rich water palace, it is really high-end and high-end, with little risk and good returns. In the future, we can continue to trade," Zhao Shoushou said to himself in a very happy mood because of the double income of Wuming Island.

Although the first-order low-grade water grass and sleeping king lotus are not the main medicines, they are suitable for the auxiliary medicines of most first-level elixir medicines. They belong to the existence of a slightly higher price among the first-level low-grade water attribute elixir, and each plant can be exchanged for two yuan Low-grade spirit stone.

As for the raw crystal ore, it is an excellent refining material. The first-grade low-grade crystal gun he encountered in Siheyuan was refined from this raw material. After refining, it is famous for its hardness, and it can also be used as an auxiliary material. To increase the strength of other instruments, the price of each piece will not be less than [-] low-grade spirit stones.

That is to say, after killing a first-rank low-grade black water snake and taking all the spoils including snake skin and snake eggs, you can get nearly 35 low-grade spirit stones, which is almost the same as the trip to the Purple Jade Mountains at that time.

"Spiritual root is very important, aptitude is very important, and chance is equally important. If it is not for trading with Hu Bo, a low-grade black water snake of the first rank can be exchanged for ten low-grade spirit stones at most." A small chance can make all the treasures that were lacking before buy back.
