Practice begins with a fisherman

"It turned out to be the concubine of the skeleton demon girl. Since I'm here today, I don't want to leave." After figuring out the reason, Zhao Shoushou looked suddenly enlightened.

The expression on his face became more and more serious, if he cut the weeds and did not get rid of the roots, there would definitely be troubles in the future, if there were other reasons that could be discussed, the three of them must not let them go this time.

"Who wins and who loses is still uncertain. Do fellow Taoists understand? There is no actual loss in Hulu Lingdao, so how about a step back for both sides?" The bald monk has already flinched a little before the battle started, trying to negotiate a peace.

"Lingdao has been surrounded for several months for no reason. If there is no explanation, where will Zhao's face be placed? The victory or defeat between the monks depends on their own methods." A flicker in the air, falling to the head of the dwarf monk.

Among the three, the dwarf cultivator was the most threatening to him no matter from which aspect. Since the battle started, he must be the first target.

Seeing that the battle between the two sides was inevitable, the dwarf, the old man, and the bald monk naturally did not wait to die, and the spiritual weapons in their hands flew out at the same time.

"Drink" the dwarf cultivator let out a loud shout with confidence, and the huge mountain-breaking hammer with a long wooden handle faced him head-on, entangled with the moon-breaking shovel, and the flames splattered for a while, and the impact sounded one after another.

The wooden branch full of vitality in the old man's hand, with the support of sufficient mana in the dantian, a large number of branches grew instantly, surrounding it firmly.

The thumb-thick large embroidery needle in the bald monk's hand turned into a beam of light, piercing the void instantly, pointing to the left temple.

The joint attack of the three monks can be said to be quite tacit, one person is responsible for blocking the front, and the two monks are responsible for attacking until the vital points, if they succeed, they will definitely be severely injured in the first place.

"Using more to bully the less is a good idea. Unfortunately, Mr. Zhao never fights alone. Cormorants, come out." Under Zhao Shoushou's command, two low-rank cormorants flew out with their wings flashing.

At this time, on the Gourd Spirit Island, a huge Hundred Flowers Snake, when the water curtain fell, suddenly boosted its morale, and disappeared above the sea surface in a stream of light.

This Hundred Flowers Snake neighed and roared non-stop. These days, because of the suppressed anger, it suddenly burst out. After it entered the battlefield, the situation of bullying more and less changed instantly.

Although the two cormorants and the Hundred Flowers Snake are both second-tier inferiors, they are inferior in strength on the surface, but they are fierce in temperament, rushing forward in battle, and their actual combat effectiveness is also not weak.

Although we dare not say victory with three vs. two, there is no problem with entanglement or even suppression. This alone is already decisive for the change of the battle situation.

The dwarf monk's strength may be extraordinary, but there is still a certain gap between him and Zhao Shoushou in terms of cultivation and strength. How can he be his opponent in a solo battle?

"Catch it with your hands free, imperial edict" The battle did not last long. During the entanglement between the moon-breaking shovel and the mountain-opening sledgehammer, the water-dividing fork was hidden in the spirit water transformation beast technique, hiding the breath of a silent strike. Hit, directly on the soft abdomen.

The dwarf monk's strength is not considered weak among the same level, but due to the natural weakness of the body, he has no resistance at all. He fell on the surface of the sea and smashed a deep hole.

Before there was any way to counter or escape, the Hundred Flowers Snake, which also fell from the sky, took advantage of this gap to have a gluttonous feast and eat a delicious meal.

Seeing this scene, the two monks on the other side were immediately surprised. The fastest mover turned out to be the dying old man, who was very proficient in using the water escape technique to escape.

The Five Elements Escape Technique was already famous for being good at escaping. Apart from a few inheritances in the overseas practice world, the Water Escape Technique did not have any restraint spiritual techniques at all. Naturally, Zhao Shoushou could only watch him disappear.

Chapter 379 HLD Auction Preparations

The three monks, who were originally fighting evenly, died and escaped, leaving only the weakest bald monk in an instant.

"How about letting me go? In the future, if you meet a fellow Taoist, how about staying away?" The bald monk begged pitifully.

"If you are willing to let go of your mind and allow some kind of evil spirit to restrain you, you can still save a life, how about a hundred years?" How could he not understand the principle of cutting grass and roots?

If he is willing to serve for a hundred years, with the improvement of his cultivation, Zhao Shoushou is willing to let the opponent die. After all, life and death are in his own hands, and he can kill the opponent with just one thought. Isn't he a qualified thug sent to his door? ?

As for the remaining lifespan of the other party after a hundred years, he didn't care, and such a harsh condition, as long as it was a slightly bloody monk, obviously would not accept it.

The purpose of cultivating monks is to get rid of all kinds of shackles between heaven and earth, so how could they be willing to accept such a passive result?

"Fellow Daoist is really so hot and compelling? A monk wanders between heaven and earth, how can he give his freedom to others at will?" As expected, the bald monk's face became quite ugly when he heard this.

"Then the outcome is determined on the battlefield. If you can beat a certain move, you can leave naturally. Listen to my orders and start the siege." Since the two sides could not reach an agreement, Zhao Shoushou naturally would not continue to hesitate.

A monk, a white snake, and two cormorants are equivalent to the combined strength of four foundation-building monks. Their attacks one after another immediately beat the bald monk in the center helpless.

Naturally, the battle went quite smoothly. The bald monk who would rather die than surrender, fell under the siege after a quarter of an hour.

As for its corpse, it was just three times, five times and two times, and it had already been turned into an energy-providing delicacy to fill the stomach under the competition of the three spirit beasts.

The one who benefited the most from this battle should be the Hundred Flower Snake of the Jing Clan, who swallowed the corpses of two mid-stage Foundation Establishment monks as blood food. If they were lucky enough, their strength might increase a little.

Originally, this Hundred Flowers Snake was barely promoted to the second-rank low-rank. After this refinement, although it is not enough to be promoted to the peak of the second-rank low-rank, there must be no problem in reaching the middle level.

Although "Hisss" suffered some minor injuries during the battle, he could clearly feel the excitement from its screams, and its fat body swam around him.

"Go back to Lingdao as soon as possible, and find a place full of spiritual power to retreat and practice. This opportunity is hard to find in a thousand years, so don't waste it." He stroked his round head with his hand to express his comfort.

After a cup of tea, Zhao Shoushou returned to Hululing Island smoothly, and the monks headed by Jing Yanfang greeted him neatly at the ferry pier.

After several months of blockade, they just realized the importance of a monk in the foundation period, let alone such a powerful monk as the island master?

"Congratulations to the island lord for his smooth return, congratulations to the island lord for his great progress, and one step closer to the Golden Core Avenue." About a hundred monks bowed and saluted almost at the same time.

Except half of the monks present belonged to the Jing family, the rest were monks who stayed on Hululing Island during the siege.

This time, Zhao Shoushou not only broke the encirclement with an irresistible and tyrannical posture, but also beheaded the two Foundation Establishment cultivators on the spot, which was incomparable to them.

"Everyone, you don't need to be so polite. The siege of Lingdao has been broken, so you can do your own thing." After appeasing, Zhao Shoushou led several core management personnel of the Jing family into the island lord's mansion.

The content of the discussion was nothing more than the ten-year auction of Hulu Lingdao and some changes on Lingdao during the period of siege.

Of course, the most important thing is undoubtedly the growth of the spirit gourd. As the foundation for the gourd spirit island to take root in the overseas cultivation world, no matter how important it is, it cannot be overemphasized.

Especially the second-tier middle-grade spirit gourd is the most important thing. Every time it matures, it can be used to exchange for a large number of high-quality cultivation resources.

With the improvement of cultivation base, the consumption of various precious resources almost doubles. Simply relying on searching will not only consume more time, but also be quite inefficient.

On the contrary, some large and small transactions have become the main channel for the monks to communicate with each other. As long as they have treasures of high enough quality, they will definitely be able to obtain the resources needed for various cultivation.

The second-tier mid-grade spirit gourd has a certain chance to help monks break through the bottleneck after rhyme cultivation, and be promoted to the later stage of foundation establishment. Its preciousness is beyond doubt.

From the current situation of the number of monks in the foundation-building period in the comprehension world, we can also have a deep understanding of the bottleneck between the middle and later stages of foundation-building.

Cultivators who are stuck on this bottleneck and have difficulty making progress are like those who have crossed the river. As long as there are some treasures that can provide assistance, the market is quite broad.

It was through the inconspicuous spirit gourds that the previous Jing family was able to continuously exchange for a large amount of resources, and a small family was able to gain a foothold and take root smoothly.

Now that Zhao Shoushou has captured this precious spiritual island, he will naturally not easily give up the communication channel auction conference that has only been developed for a hundred years.

On the contrary, they attached great importance to the first auction, not only giving strong support, but also providing several second-level middle and low-grade treasures to attract more foundation-building monks to participate.

"This time I was able to resist the evil cultivator's attack. Everyone present contributed a lot. The contribution of the Jing family will be kept in my heart. If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely find a foundation-building pill for you." For the Jing family Zhao Shoushou naturally understood the thoughts in his heart.

If you want to drive the whole family to serve him loyally, the combination of reward and punishment is the kingly way. Even if there is a foundation-building monk, it will not have any impact on his status in a short time. Why not do it?

"The island lord's kindness to the Jing family will be kept in mind, and in the future, if there is a drive, they will definitely go all out and never dare to give up their efforts." These words are like fairy sounds in the hearts of the Jing family.

"It's less than three months before the auction is held, how are the preparations going? Will the siege of Lingdao affect it?" His focus shifted as soon as the words changed.

As the first large-scale auction after taking charge of Gourd Lingdao, Zhao Shoushou must hold it in a complete and grand manner. If it is possible to pay some price to recruit a monk in the foundation period from it, it is another goal. Of course, he wants to achieve it. The difficulty is relatively large.

"Island owner, please rest assured that the foundation-building seniors who often came to participate half a year ago have already delivered their invitations. The collection of first-tier high-grade treasures is also quite smooth. This auction will definitely be held smoothly," Jing Yanfang replied affirmatively. It was obvious that there was no pause because of his departure.

Chapter 380 Precious Spirit Artifact and Alchemy Inheritance

"This trip to Baowu, I got a few treasures of reliable quality, which can be used as the finale of the auction. In addition, the two high-quality second-level low-grade spirit gourds left in the treasure house can also be used as auction items. The publicity of the auction Be sure to make a big splash," Zhao Shoushou urged almost every detail.

In addition to the three or five low-grade second-grade spiritual materials provided before, this time they took out two low-grade second-grade spiritual weapons, the sour wood bow and the blood-stained knife.

Among them, the sour wood bow has been with him for a long time, and its quality can be considered excellent among the same level. Unfortunately, with the improvement of cultivation base, it has become difficult to provide arm assistance in battle. Instead of destroying it in a future battle , it would be better to sell them in exchange for some spirit stones.

The blood-stained knife was obtained from the bald monk's storage bag, and it was the only valuable trophy of the three monks. The two spiritual weapons would definitely attract some poor-pocketed foundation-building casual cultivators.

In the previous battle, although Zhao Shoushou beheaded the dwarf and the bald monk with an invincible posture, the spiritual weapons they drove cracked at the same time, which also resulted in not getting much valuable spoils , Most of them are some messy off-the-shelf resources.

The purpose of the two spiritual artifacts was to attract some relatively weak casual cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage, but the finale treasure was the alchemy inheritance obtained by hunting an unknown alchemist at the beginning of his promotion to the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Including a second-rank low-grade alchemy furnace "Huowei", a second-rank low-grade True Yanhuo, and a complete record of alchemy from entry to second-rank middle-grade.

This set of treasures was originally obtained together with the sour wood bow. In order to prevent those who are looking for it, it has been kept at the bottom of the storage bag for so many years.

Through these years of understanding of the overseas cultivation world, various cultivation skills are obviously rougher than those in the mainland cultivation world, but they have developed so rapidly only by relying on a large number of sea beast elixir.

Of course, this does not mean that the monks here will be willing to lag behind. The major sects and families, as long as they have spare power, have been tirelessly studying.

It is also because of the fear of overseas cultivation circles that many mainland sects obviously prohibit the sale of these skills behind closed doors.

No matter how hard the monks in the overseas cultivation world try, all they can get is some unsystematic fragments of words. This set of complete alchemy inheritance will definitely attract the attention of some big and small powerful spirit islands around them.

On the one hand, it can be used to exchange some urgently needed resources at a high price, and on the other hand, it is to take the opportunity to expand the influence of Hululingdao among the same rank.

The arrogant Zhao Shoushou is obviously unwilling to be an island owner who is obsessed with cultivating spirit gourds. His goal is still to improve his cultivation, so that he can go further on the road of cultivation in the future.

To him, this gourd spirit island is just a medium for earning various resources. This may be the biggest difference between casual cultivators and some sects and families.

"The island owner is really not thinking about it? How can such a precious treasure be sold easily? It will definitely cause some turmoil within a radius of three thousand nautical miles." Fang Yi saw so many treasures, Jing Yanfang was so frightened that her jaw almost dropped.

Although the two second-tier low-grade spirit tools were precious, the Jing family had been lucky enough to see some of them after years of operation. What surprised her the most was of course an almost complete set of alchemy inheritance.

As a small family that used to be steadily moving forward, they also did some in-depth research on alchemy skills in the mainland's cultivation world. During this period, the sacrifices far outweighed the gains, and the hardships involved can be imagined.

"It's just a set of mainland goods. Since there is no obvious benefit for us in a short period of time, wouldn't everyone be happy to sell it for some resources? Just auction it off." In fact, the reason deep in his heart is his own water attribute The qualifications and the restrictions on the inheritance of skills.

From all aspects, it is quite difficult for a water attribute monk to become an alchemist. Even so, he never gave up easily. He has tried many times in the past 20 years, but all ended in failure.

If it weren't for this, how could Zhao Shoushou be willing to easily give up the opportunity to become an alchemist? Selling now in exchange for cultivation resources is just the next choice after helplessness.

Perhaps when other monks are faced with such a situation, they may cultivate one or two from some cronies, which Zhao Shoushou cannot achieve.

As for the selection of some qualified Qi-refining stage monks from the Jing family to cultivate, the two parties are just exchanging interests, and it is impossible to achieve such a deep cooperation.

"The owner of the island has great aspirations, so he has a lot of treasures in his body. This auction is sure to be a success." Jing Yanfang, who has always been good at observing words and expressions, doesn't understand the deep meaning.

This was already a rather obvious rejection, it was impossible for the Jing family to receive such an important inheritance, especially before gaining real trust.

It is also an understandable decision between oneself and others, just like the Jing family cannot always be willing to live under Zhao Shoushou's rule.

"Go on, organize the publicity as soon as possible, the auction will start, and someone will come forward to preside over the foundation building part in person." After the instruction, Zhao Shoushou sent everyone away.

In three months, although the injury did not heal, most of it could be recovered under the conditioning of deer antler, and soon entered a deep retreat.

Zhao Shoushou is naturally not clear. Under the precise operation of the Jing family, with the appearance of second-order treasures, the Gourd Lingdao auction has set off new climaxes in the outside world. A focus point within.

Especially when the real grand finale, a complete set of alchemy inheritance from the cultivation world in the mainland was announced, some families and sects that had not paid attention to it before began to prepare to send monks to come.

In fact, in the eyes of these monks who have been rooted here for generations, the so-called auction on Hululing Island is just a small matter, and they will not take it seriously in their eyes.

After changing to a new owner, Hulu Lingdao, which should have been in decline for a while, actually went the other way, and the upward trend became more and more obvious.

This auction has become a good opportunity. If it can be held smoothly, the influence or status of Hulu Lingdao will definitely be greatly improved.

This slightly mysterious and exaggerated publicity continued until ten days before the opening of the auction, and of course the effect was beyond doubt.

The casual cultivators of the foundation building period, who always came late at the last moment, have come one after another, and their appearance has brought all the atmosphere to a new climax, which also strongly proves the attraction of the Hulu Lingdao auction from the side. force.

Some Qi-refining period monks who still had some hesitation or held their own identities came in groups, calling for friends and friends, and the whole Calabash Spirit Island entered a very lively and prosperous moment in an instant. Shops big and small are also doing their best and trying their best to take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune.

Chapter 381 Loose Cultivation and Recruitment

In fact, this is also a process of mutual support and mutual achievement. Each store sells various treasures that are never easily shown to others, and on the other hand, it is also a support for Lingdao.

Once a monk buys a high-quality and cheap treasure that he has been looking for for a long time from the market, he will definitely publicize it intentionally or unintentionally. The effect of this kind of word-of-mouth is immediate.

Perhaps after this auction, some shops that were unwilling to come here will also choose to settle in, and Fangshi on Hululing Island will enter a new period of expansion.

This point is very important to Zhao Shoushou from any aspect. On the one hand, he can earn enough spirit stones to purchase various resources needed for cultivation. On the other hand, with the continuous accumulation of resources, all kinds of relatively Precious resources will surely show up one after another.

If you can seize this opportunity, it will be very important for future practice, especially the speed of cultivation base improvement, it will definitely reach a new level.

During this period, Zhao Shoushou, who had been concentrating on healing his injuries, sat firmly on the Diaoyutai. No matter how the outside world changed, he did not officially leave the customs until the fifth day near the opening.

At this time, there were more than ten foundation-building monks gathered on Lingdao, and all of them had sent invitations, ready to have an in-depth conversation with the new owner of this place.

Among these monks, they are mainly casual cultivators, and the remaining one or two are mainly from some forces that specialize in operating shops in various places. They mainly value the future development potential of Hululing Island and want to get a share of it.

For the arrival of these monks, Zhao Shoushou must have welcomed the arrival of these monks, which can be regarded as improving his soft power from another aspect.

"Recently, have there been some changes on Lingdao? Is there anything that needs to be coordinated by someone?" The first thing to do when he leaves the customs is what he really cares about.

"With several treasures provided by the island owner, the preparations for this auction have been basically completed. Thanks to the inspection of the two Lord Cormorants, everything on Lingdao is safe and sound. It's just that a few seniors in the foundation stage are going to come to visit." Jing Yanfang is obviously concerned about this Some things in are fairly clear.

Before the retreat, Zhao Shoushou asked the two cormorants to patrol the spirit island at a fixed time to prevent some youngsters from deliberately causing trouble.

Judging from the current feedback, the effect should be good. Although their strength is slightly lower than that of monks of the same level, after all, they are actually equivalent to the combat effectiveness of the foundation building period.

"Collect the information of the monks who came to visit, and after getting familiar with them, I will go to visit them one by one." Zhao Shoushou has always been quite enthusiastic about making more like-minded monks of the same level.

Of course, his real goal is to select some suitable targets to win over, and it would be the best if one of them is willing to join Hululingdao.

From Zhao Shoushou's practice career, it can be clearly seen that every step forward is difficult, and for a long time at the beginning of the promotion to the foundation establishment period, he wanted to obtain a spiritual weapon but could not, which can be described as miserable.

In fact, this is the true state of the cultivation world. There are many monks who take risks for a spiritual weapon, and collect a little bit of spiritual material.

The most unlucky thing is that after the collection of spiritual materials is completed, the search for an unreliable refiner fails to refine them, and years of hard work are ruined, which is the real desire to cry without tears.

There are many foundation-building monks who still use a magic weapon to fight against the enemy after many years of foundation building. The reason why Zhao Shoushou was able to get rid of such an embarrassing situation was due to the half-spiritual weapon knife that he got by chance at the beginning. .
