Practice begins with a fisherman

Apparently, these monkey kings paid a lot of money this time in order to find the chief culprit of the turmoil in the monkey forest. There were interceptions before and chasers after. He didn't have much choice at all, so he could only bite the bullet and move on.

After some comparisons, the direction Zhao Shoushou chose to break through was finally determined. It was not the end that seemed to be the weakest, but the middle position where a third-tier middle-rank monkey king was sitting.

There are two main reasons for this. First, this monkey king has strong self-holding strength, and the distance from other monkey kings is relatively far. Second, compared with other locations, you can escape into the vast and boundless sea by rushing out here. Among them, at that time, they only need to use the water escape technique a few times, and these monkey kings can only look at the water and sigh.

"Nine Cold Water Sword Art, Thousand Miles of Frozen Art, combined into one, order" After about a stick of incense, Zhao Shoushou shouted loudly, and the two kinds of treasure art that had been tempered suddenly spewed out.

The two kinds of treasures are directed at the third-level mid-level monkey king squatting on the big tree, and evolved into the nine-cold ice cone treasure during the advancement of the Nine Cold Water Sword Technique.

Chapter 542 The plan of the second layer of Jindan

Nine Cold Water Sword Treasure Technique is originally the existence with higher attack power among water attribute Treasure Techniques, and Nine Cold Ice Cone Treasure Technique after evolution is even better among them. Pin Monkey King, a cold light shot out of his eyes, obviously felt enough threats under the attack of the front and back two kinds of treasure techniques.

What's more, the water control gun and stone stick that followed were shining with a cold light. Even though the third-level middle-rank Monkey King was powerful, he didn't dare to resist it head-on.

This monkey king with a fat body and a little bit of fat, when the ice cone was about to approach, his fat body flew upwards with the power of the tree trunk. Unexpectedly, he had been affected by the thousand-mile ice-sealing treasure invisibly, so he should be very happy. An easy leap, but there is a big sideways shift.

The battle between the third-order sea beast and the Golden Core cultivator is a difference of a thousand miles. It is only a small influence on weekdays, but it is related to the victory or defeat of both sides in the fierce battle.

It is precisely because of this small impact that the ten ice cones are already close at hand, and a small water circle spews out from the tip of the water gun with a rotation, trying to surround it, and the water circle is surrounded by Circles of smaller but sharper barbs, their lethality must be unparalleled.

This trick is also one of the killer tricks for controlling water guns. The seemingly soft and weak water circle is as solid as a rock under the action of mana. The dual effects of trapping and attacking are quite sharp.

This time, in order to break out of the encirclement in the first place, Zhao Shoushou spent all his capital and used almost all of his ultimate moves at this time, and the ultimate goal was not to kill, but to trap the Monkey King for a while, while This opportunity comes out.

It's too late to say it, but it's too late, all the attacks are just the final result within three or five breaths, and the third-level middle-rank Monkey King is naturally not a fool who just takes beatings and doesn't fight back.

Before the ten ice cones got close to the monkey king, a large number of flowers, plants, branches and vines had grown wildly, forming an indestructible barrier.

When these seemingly sharp ice picks landed on them, they only struck backwards and pierced through some of the turf, and then fell down with a powerless appearance, just like the so-called three or two strokes of a thousand catties.

Of course, a barrier formed by temporary condensed branches and tendrils has a limit to its endurance after all. When the fourth ice cone dissipates, the strength of the two is completely offset, and the wooden barrier is also dissipated at the same time.

The remaining six ice picks and the water circle from the self-controlled water gun bully them, and the two magic weapons sweep past with their powerful bodies. .

The monkey king embraced the void with his hands back, and threw it forward suddenly. When he was approaching, a huge stone suddenly appeared and smashed it firmly on the stone stick obtained from the first monkey king with great force.

"Crack" only heard a loud noise, and cracks appeared on the stone stick that had not been warmed for a long time, and it was showing a trend of continuous expansion.

Of course, there are gains and losses. Since the Monkey King chose to destroy the stone stick, he naturally needs to withstand other means of attack. Even if there are bursts of defensive golden light on his body, it is still difficult to completely resist.

Especially the see-saw and confinement from the water circle cut the seemingly golden defensive circle into pieces, and the water control gun even took advantage of this opportunity to bully him, leaving a deep bone-deep scar on the Monkey King's abdomen. A large amount of blood gushed out of the wound.

The angry monkey king let out a squealing sound, ignoring the injuries on his body, and in a fit of rage, it flew towards him with its teeth bared and its mighty power beyond compare.

"Sure enough, these monkey kings have not completely abandoned the temper of sea beasts. Once they are severely injured, all their wisdom will be dissipated. A certain person did not come here today to fight for his life, but to escape." On the contrary, he stepped forward decisively.

In fact, during the fierce battle between Zhao Shoushou and the Monkey King, through the teleportation of some red-spotted flying ants, a large number of pursuers were already very close to here, and other Monkey Kings who were ambushing nearby were also rushing here to prepare for rescue and siege .

It can be imagined that once he falls into the siege, the consequences will naturally be quite cruel, and even a god will find it difficult to escape, not to mention that he is just a small Jindan early-stage monk.

At this time, Xiangqian will naturally fall within the frontal attack range of the third-tier middle-rank Monkey King. Unfortunately, for him now, this is already the best choice. Even if he suffers some trauma, at least his life can be guaranteed. The lesser of two evils.

When the Monkey King and Zhao Shoushou brushed past each other, Zhao Shoushou used the water gun as a defense to block the fast-moving figure, and his speed was more than doubled in an instant, thus successfully avoiding a large number of attacks from the Monkey King. There are only a few times above its body.

"As expected, it is equivalent to the middle-rank Monkey King of the third rank in the middle stage of Jindan, but it is only one-third of the power of a blow, which is equivalent to the damage of a heavy blow." Zhao Shoushou fell into the sea as he wished after a muffled snort. Using the gushing blood as raw material, combined with the water escape technique, it disappeared without a trace.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak..." At this time, a large group of monkey monsters gathered around the dangerous area of ​​the monkey forest, and they screamed at the monk who had disappeared, obviously very dissatisfied.

It's a pity that these monkeys are not good at water warfare by nature, and they have some natural and unavoidable and insurmountable fears of the vast and boundless sea. Even though they are full of resentment and helplessness in their hearts, they can only watch them disappear into the sea at this time.

For Zhao Shoushou, leaving this time may not appear here again in the next hundred years. He only needs to heal his injuries before he can participate in some Jindan cultivator fairs, exchange some treasures, and start a new round The closed-door retreat hits the second floor of Jindan.

Of course, this is not an easy task, even if the current cultivation base has reached the peak of the first layer of Jindan and clearly feels the existence of the bottleneck, it will not help.

Each bottleneck faced by Jindanqi has its own unique characteristics, and there is also a certain gap between each monk, and there is not much reference to each other.

It can be said that before the golden core, if the monks practice with the support of the elders, they can avoid many detours. After the golden core is condensed, the experience of the senior monks can be used as a reference. The role that can be played is really limited and varies from person to person. At this time It is a path that is entirely of its own.

"Although Jindan is difficult, it is necessary to move forward step by step. How could Zhao give up so easily? For a long time to come, he will work hard for the second level of Jindan." This is a dangerous distance from Monkey Forest. After a long enough distance, the first confirmed target.

Chapter 543 Tianxuan Island Auction Conference

Of course, before officially returning to explore the spirit island for retreat, in addition to the recuperation of injuries, the spirit grass that was forcibly obtained from more than a dozen monkey monster groups naturally needs to be exchanged for some treasures that can be used in cultivation.

According to its plan, the number of top-grade spirit flowers and fruits is the largest in the second-tier. You can choose a larger shop and exchange them for some top-grade spirit stones, which can be used in daily practice. It is within the acceptable range to pay some price for this. of.

Apart from the monkey wine, the most valuable ones are undoubtedly more than [-] complete spirit flowers and spirit grasses, each of which can be exchanged for treasures suitable for Jindan monks.

Tier [-] spiritual herbs often require more than a thousand years of medicine age, which is a typical situation in the cultivation world, even in some major sects.

It is no exaggeration to say that the third-order spiritual grass in the storage bag is the main source of courage for him to charge to the second floor of the golden core. If he is willing to sell part of the monkey wine, he can naturally exchange for more treasures.

"This island is not bad, but it's a pity that it's only a second-tier mid-tier, but it's enough for a temporary recuperation." The island is actually a large reef, and a second-tier man who is entrenched here to bask in the sun After the high-grade sea beast was expelled, it decisively occupied it.

During the battle with the third-tier middle-rank Monkey King, it seemed that everything went smoothly and safely, but it was only under his careful planning that such an effect was achieved.

This time in order to be able to escape smoothly, the price he paid was also not small. His injuries and the little mana left in his dantian were all ranked later. What made him feel the most distressed was the damage to the stone stick.

Although this magic weapon has just been formed and is not too prominent in all aspects, its potential is infinite. If it is carefully cultivated in the future, it will even far exceed the water control gun in terms of quality. Under Wang's counterattack, it was broken into two pieces.

In the future, it can only be used as a good-quality spiritual material, and its effect will be greatly reduced. It will be a big blow to Zhao Shoushou, who already lacks the means to deal with the enemy.

In addition, in the process of escaping, in order to get out of the entanglement with the Monkey King as soon as possible, he did not hesitate to use the blood essence as the medium to perform the blood escape technique, even if it is combined with the water escape, all the consumption is only half, for him It is also a lot of pressure.

In short, during the several years in the dangerous place of the Monkey Forest, there was a lot of valuable gains, and there was also a heavy price to pay. Whether it is a profit or a loss, it is up to the benevolent to see the benevolent and the wise to see the wisdom. At least Zhao Shoushou is satisfied.

With the improvement of cultivation base, the strength and self-healing ability of the body are also improved. The horrible trauma has recovered in less than ten days. A single blow caused the rupture of several meridians.

The sun rises and the moon sets, the day and night alternate, the stars move, and time goes by little by little. It seems that the only constant in the world is the monk who is healing on this reef.

Most of the people living in this sea area are second-tier middle and low-grade sea beasts, so when the aura of the golden core stage is released, there is no danger of sea beasts without long eyes coming to harass them for a while.

According to the records in "Congealing Water Jue", the ample and lively water spiritual power pervading the air seems to be because it is entrenched on the sea, and the vitality contained in the water spiritual power here will be even stronger. If it is sufficient, the effect on injury treatment is naturally better.

It was not until half a year later that Zhao Shoushou opened his eyes. After healed from his injuries, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then began to think about how to move forward.

"Forget it, let's go back to explore the spirit island first, and find out about the recent changes in the cultivation world." Soon Zhao Shoushou disappeared again. In fact, what he needs now is a high-level auction suitable for Jindan stage monks.

Zhao Shoushou chose to return to explore the Spirit Island this time, hoping to get some valuable news from here. These foundation-building monks who wandered around will always find out some big and small information intentionally or unintentionally. a benefit.

After many monks in the comprehension world were promoted to Jindan, the sole purpose of setting up some organizations, large and small, was for this purpose. The disciples and grandchildren under his command could continuously provide him with various information for him to judge.

Although Expedition Spirit Island suffered heavy losses in the last wave of sea beasts, under his protection, it has maintained a stable inheritance. Relying on its solid background in the cultivation world, there is obviously no problem in inquiring about some news , and with the recovery of strength, this ability is also increasing day by day.

The reason why Zhao Shoushou was willing to come here to take up the post of island owner was not only the reason for the third-order spirit island, but also a very important and inseparable part.

"There is less than a year and a half left before the Tianxuan Island Auction Conference, which occurs once in a hundred years. This is a major event in the cultivation world. We must raise some treasures and spirit stones as soon as possible."

"Although our cultivation base is low and we don't have the opportunity to participate in the real auction, it is good to take this opportunity to set up some stalls outside. If we are lucky, at least in exchange for the resources to maintain our cultivation base for a year."

"Although the gates of Tianxuan Island are usually closed, the gates are open during the six months before and after the auction, and no monks will be refused entry."

"Even if you don't gain anything, it's good to retreat here for half a year. It can't be said that the cultivation base that hasn't improved for a long time will take a step forward."

As soon as Fang arrived at the place where monks gathered at the junction of the inner and outer seas, a widely circulated news spread.

Tianxuan Lingdao belongs to the highest-grade spirit island with the largest area in the known area of ​​the outer sea cultivation world and has the only high-grade spirit vein of the fifth rank. On weekdays, no other cultivators are allowed to enter or leave the place of seclusion. It is said that there are still some old monsters in the cultivation world who are not many in the transformation stage.

It is impossible to judge whether the news is true or not, but every time the beast swarm is safe and sound, no sea beast has ever dared to come here to provoke.

The Tianxuan Island Auction Conference was jointly held by more than a dozen powerful sects with the strong support of Yuanying Patriarch. The sole purpose was to balance the development resource allocation of the cultivation world.

All the treasures that appear on the auction held once in a century are high-quality treasures. The lowest-level ones are second-level spiritual materials suitable for the foundation-building period. A Tier [-] treasure that is extremely rare in the comprehension world.

Many treasures that are rarely seen in the outside world will almost always appear in the auction. For many monks, it can be called a real feast. Of course, the premise is that they have enough top-grade spirit stones for exchange.

Using spirit stones as the main means of trading is also one of the biggest features of the Tianxuan Island Auction. No matter how precious a treasure is, it will be won by the highest bidder. During the auction, no counter-price will be accepted for any treasure. Behavior.

Chapter 544 The Lively Spirit Stone Trading

Therefore, all monks who are going to participate in the Tianxuan Island Auction Conference must raise enough high-grade spirit stones as a trading medium before the opening.

At this auction, no matter what level of treasures, only top-grade spirit stones are accepted as a means of trading, the second-level treasures suitable for the foundation-building period and the fourth-level treasures suitable for the Nascent Soul period are no exception.

There is even such a rumor in the cultivation world that the reason why a large-scale search for high-grade spirit stones is carried out in the entire overseas cultivation world at intervals of a hundred years must be a huge conspiracy.

Some monks who held conspiracy theories even publicly boycotted the auction. Unfortunately, in the face of the temptation of various treasures, this kind of resistance would certainly have no effect. All the monks still flocked away. An irresistible conspiracy.

Zhao Shoushou obviously didn't care about these various remarks that filled the cultivation world. His mind was full of how to buy some urgently needed treasures at this auction.

For him, no matter what the ultimate purpose of these sects is, as long as he can get enough benefits from them, everything else is insignificant, even if he returns to the mainland cultivation world in the future.

The first thing to bear the brunt is naturally a good-quality defensive magic weapon. Because of the lack of sufficient defensive means, it has encountered considerable difficulties in these years.

In addition, the most important thing is naturally some elixir and elixir that are conducive to promotion to the second level of Jindan. For Zhao Shoushou, promotion of cultivation level every day is to buy a day for the future achievement of Nascent Soul, which is very important. .

"The most important thing at the moment is to prepare some high-grade spirit stones as soon as possible. There is not enough time left for a certain person. It is better to quickly find one or two squares to exchange some spirit stones." As for changing the itinerary, Zhao Shoushou obviously would not There is no psychological burden.

As for the safety of exploring the spirit island, there would not be too many problems in a short period of time. If there were no accidents like the tide of sea beasts, it would be basically as stable as Mount Tai, and no monks would come to provoke them for no reason.

Since being promoted to the Golden Core stage, except for a small amount of high-grade spirit stones in the storage bag, all the storage is basically treasures for various purposes.

I never thought that one day it would be completely reversed, and the treasures would need to be exchanged for high-grade spirit stones, and as the start date of the auction approached, the price of high-grade spirit stones would naturally increase day by day.

Every time the Tianxuan Island auction is opened, not only the sects holding the auction earn a lot of money, but also some shops that specialize in exchanging high-grade spirit stones are also full of fat and fat.

Some sects and families can also rely on their daily savings to deal with the past, and those who are really exploited are many casual cultivators like him who live everywhere.

But at this time, in order to participate in the auction and buy some real treasures, he obviously didn't care about so much. After half a day, Zhao Shoushou arrived in Hekangfang City smoothly.

This square city is owned by three Jindanqi families, which can provide a relatively complete range of treasures, and it is very lively with people coming and going on weekdays.

Today, apart from some shops that specialize in exchanging high-grade spirit stones, the other shops are typically deserted, and only some shopkeepers are boredly waiting for the arrival of possible guests.

"Zhaoji Spirit Stone Store is open to supply high-grade spirit stones. All treasures above Tier [-] can be traded fairly. No one will be rejected. Welcome."

"Liu's Lingshi store has been dedicated to operating Lingshi exchange for 300 years, and meticulously serves every monk in need"

"The three major sects unite to exchange spirit stones to ensure the quality of each spirit stone. You can't miss it when you pass by."

As soon as Fang entered the square city, three huge banners clearly appeared in front of his eyes, which were specially opened for the temporary exchange of spirit stones for the Tianxuan Island Auction.

On weekdays, there is no store that specializes in Lingshi exchange business, and the occasional demand is usually just a part-time job in some grocery stores.

One must understand that this place is just an ordinary city in an ordinary third-order spirit island, and by expanding the entire scope to the overseas cultivation world, one can understand the true influence of the Tianxuan Island Auction.

Of course, all of this has nothing to do with Zhao Shoushou. Now he only cares about the exchange price of high-grade spirit stones and whether there is sufficient supply of spirit stones. Care about some of the details.

"Welcome senior to the Zhaoji Lingshi store. I wonder how many spirit stones you want to exchange? What kind of treasures will you exchange for? We have experienced appraisers here, and we can definitely provide a fair price." After entering the first store, A monk in the middle stage of foundation establishment greeted him.

Although the spirit stone exchange shop is open to all monks, the real big customers are only Jindan stage monks. Only from their storage bags can they exchange some real treasures.

It is naturally difficult to achieve such an effect on weekdays, but before the Tianxuan Island Auction Conference is held, it is completely achievable.

These families and sects will use all their strength and means to increase the sect's heritage by trading spirit stones. After all, the more these third-tier treasures, the better.

"Since I came here to exchange some high-grade spirit stones, maybe we can provide enough spirit stones for the exchange transaction now?" Zhao Shoushou opened to the point without dragging his feet.

"Senior, don't worry, the Zhaoji Lingshi store has existed for more than 300 years, and can provide enough top-grade spirit stones for fair trade." This guy is obviously full of confidence, and he is obviously very enthusiastic and looking forward to the conclusion of this deal.

The main reason why these foundation-building monks are willing to come here to serve as the receptionist is because of the generous rewards. Every time a transaction is concluded, they can get a generous reward, especially for those from the Jindan period. It is one of the main sources of income.

"These are the three spirit grasses prepared by someone, let's ask an appraiser to evaluate them first." Zhao Shoushou handed over three green mushroom-shaped spirit grasses with dotted patterns, which were one of the trophies in the dangerous place of the monkey forest.

Zhao Shoushou didn't know the root of this spirit grass, but judging from its shape, it should be a relatively rare spirit grass, which was just used to test the level of the appraiser.

"Third-grade low-grade Hericium erinaceus, one of the best spirit herbs used to brew third-grade spirit wine, each can be bought with 25 high-grade spirit stones" After about a cup of tea, an old voice appeared in my ear .

Zhao Shoushou is basically satisfied with this transaction. After all, this is a relatively unpopular elixir, and it is not bad to be able to exchange for 75 top-grade spirit stones. After all, this is just a mutual test.

The price of a third-tier low-grade defense magic weapon should be around 1000 and two hundred high-grade spirit stones, and it should be able to meet the demand after all the thirty spirit grasses are consumed.

Chapter 545

Judging from the current situation, Zhao Shoushou's valuation of the treasures obtained from the dangerous place in the monkey forest is obviously higher than its actual value.

When it was first heard that the Tianxuan Island Auction Conference was about to start, its goals were twofold, first, a good-quality defensive magic weapon, and second, an elixir that could help it break through the bottleneck and advance to the second level of the Golden Core.

No matter which one it is worth, since more than thirty third-tier elixir can only be collected to meet the price of a defensive magic weapon, there is no need to sell some monkey wine obtained at the risk of life.

For some monks who are addicted to alcohol, this delicious monkey wine, which can help monks improve their cultivation level and does not damage the body, is a real treasure.

Among some Jindan stage monks, there are always some monks who are addicted to alcohol. They have shown a morbid desire for all kinds of spirit wine, and every drop can be exchanged for expensive treasures in some auctions. , if he is not forced to do so, he is definitely not willing to sell it.

Before that, the price of the elixir naturally needs to be fought for one or two, especially some elixir that are obviously used to refine and improve the main ingredients of the elixir, so they must not be sold lightly.

"Senior, do you have any objections to the price of Hericium erinaceus? Do you continue to make other transactions?" When he said this, the eyes of the foundation-building monks were all shining with hope.

"Hericium erinaceus can be used as the main material for brewing some third-order spirit wines. Although the price has not met the expectations in one's mind, it is still within the acceptable range. However, these are just appetizers. If the remaining spirit medicines If you can't offer a satisfactory price, you won't sell it lightly," Nuo said as soon as he dropped a cyan storage bag that appeared in the monk's hand.
