Practice begins with a fisherman

"Fellow Daoist misunderstood, what we need is the blood of the true spirit belonging to the Xuanwu lineage in the secret realm of Mount Song. We only need to sign a contract and promise to get the blood of the true spirit, and give a drop of the blood of the Yang family to the puppet family for free." How about getting a third-tier high-grade puppet?" This condition is naturally very tempting.

"What if you fall into a secret realm? Didn't your family lose your wife and lose your army?" Zhao Shoushou was quite suspicious.

"Since you want to exchange for a treasure like the blood of the true spirit, you naturally need to bear certain risks. This is also the only sales channel for third-tier high-grade puppets," the shopkeeper of the puppet shop said firmly.

As for the thing that looked like an animal skin in his hand, it was a special treasure called a "sincere contract". The two parties who signed the contract needed to drip blood into it.

As long as the agreed contract is completed on time, the contract will dissipate after the deadline. If the contract is violated, every time the cultivation level is promoted, it will encounter double hardships, and the bottleneck will increase several times. In particular, the binding force is so strong that it simply cuts off the future path of practice.

"Someone Zhao has signed this contract. How about a drop of true spirit blood in exchange for a third-tier high-grade puppet with dual functions of defense and attack?" After thinking for a while, he finally made his final decision.

A quarter of an hour later, Zhao Shoushou walked out of the puppet shop and quickly disappeared into the crowd of monks, heading for the next destination.

Yang's puppet shop will prepare a top-grade third-rank puppet that meets the requirements for him in ten days, which can be regarded as a killer weapon in the Songshan secret realm.

A third-tier high-grade puppet is comparable to a late-stage Jindan monk, and with high-grade spirit stones as the driving force, as long as enough spirit stones can be provided, it can fight tirelessly until its shell is broken.

Whether it is used to explore unknown dangerous places or encounter strong enemies, puppets are a good choice, even in terms of value alone, it is even higher than the blood of the true spirit.

Of course, due to various reasons, the actual combat effectiveness of the third-tier top-rank puppet cannot be compared with that of the monks of the same level, but in his opinion, this is a relatively profitable deal.

A high-quality puppet is impossible to be completely destroyed in a battle as long as it has not encountered a devastating blow from a strong enemy. It is a treasure that can be used continuously. Not a small help.

As for the blood of the true spirit, he is not worried at all. As mentioned above, if he can survive and kill at least one basalt turtle, there is no doubt about refining three drops of the blood of the true spirit. It can only be regarded as the loss of Yang's puppet shop.

While Zhao Shoushou was searching for more treasures in Fang City, a mansion with a large area in the northwest corner of the county was discussing a deal about exchanging a third-tier top-grade puppet for the blood of the true spirit.

"The Yang family has been passed down for thousands of years, and generations of ancestors have painstakingly managed it, but they have accumulated twenty third-rank top-grade puppets, all of which are treasures used to suppress the family's luck. How can they be exchanged for a mere drop of true spirit blood? ? It really doesn’t make sense”

"Second Uncle's words are wrong. The ancestor is only one step away from becoming a Nascent Soul. You only need to refine some true spirit blood to increase the success rate by [-]%. Once you become a Nascent Soul, how can the family's strength be so strong? Can a high-level puppet be compared?"

"It is certainly not wrong to support the promotion of the ancestors, and it is also right to use all the power of the family, but is it too much to spare a little bit of energy for most of the top-rank puppets of the third rank to exchange for the blood of the true spirit?"

"Brothers and uncles, what the third-tier top-rank puppet exchanged is just a promise. If the monk falls in the secret realm, the family will really get nothing."

"Patriarch, why don't you wait until the end of the Songshan Secret Realm, and exchange some of the blood of the true spirit with the third-rank top-grade puppets from the monks of the late Jindan stage?"

In the entire meeting hall of the Yang family, there were a total of seven Jindan stage monks, discussing in one go, each expressing different opinions.

The conservative side has the upper hand, arguing that some treasures should be kept for use when the Yang family faces danger in the future.

Mainly because of the insurmountable threshold between Jindan and Yuanying, the Yang family has been passed down for thousands of years, and there have been generations of ancestors who attacked Yuanying, but unfortunately no one succeeded, and every failure would be a great blow to the Yang family. .

The other few people fully agree to fully support the only one ancestor, Chong Yuanying. Most of these monks are newly promoted Jindan early stage monks, who have not been polished enough and are in the stage of arrogance.

"The opinions of all brothers and uncles are kept in mind, and I only want to say two points today. First, any late-stage Jindan monks who have obtained the blood of the true spirit will definitely not use it as a price in exchange for some third-rank high-grade puppets; second, Attacking the Nascent Soul is a one-shot effort, and any shortcomings in the middle will lead to failure, and the family will have no chance to impact the Nascent Soul in the next 200 years." Patriarch Yang is also a Jindan seventh-level monk, sitting in the center and talking.

"The reason why these late-stage Jindan monks are willing to sign a contract in exchange for a third-rank top-grade puppet is to increase the chances of capturing the blood of the true spirit in the Songshan secret realm. Said, although we need to bear a certain loss, but twenty puppets can be exchanged for at least fourteen drops of true spirit blood, you can't get tiger cubs if you don't enter the tiger's den, and you don't want your children to be trapped by wolves, everyone, please think carefully." Yang's Patriarch said Fang Cailuo's figure has disappeared without a trace, obviously he has made his final decision.

Zhao Shoushou didn't know anything about what happened to the Yang family. Of course, even if he knew, he would not suffer any loss because of it, especially since the contract had already been signed, the Yang family had no room for repentance. .

Now he is struggling with an ancient shield-shaped defensive treasure, and the shopkeeper's request is also to trade with two drops of true spirit blood.

The value of this shield-shaped ancient treasure is unquestionable, and it is a big compensation for his current shortcomings. The asking price for two drops of true spirit blood is really too high.

Chapter 689 Opening of Songshan Secret Realm

The value of ancient treasures is unquestionable whether in the subcontinent or in the cultivation world of the Central Plains, and a defensive ancient treasure is even more popular.

Therefore, there are not a few monks watching the ancient treasures, but when the request for trading two drops of blood of the true spirit appeared, most of the monks refused decisively. Rejection ends in failure.

In the next few days, Zhao Shoushou almost went around the entire city, and every shop took out the rare treasures of the town shop, each of which made him very excited, and the trading conditions were the same, that is, the quantity The blood of the true spirit is not equal, and there is no room for bargaining.

Zhao Shoushou had just come to his senses at this time, and it turned out that the value of the blood of the true spirit was more important than he imagined, and the help to cultivation was definitely not as simple as stated in the jade slip.

In the end, he just bought five third-tier high-grade treasure talismans at a high price from the talisman seal master. After knowing the value of the blood of the true spirit, he will definitely not trade it easily.

What's more, according to the previous experience of opening the Songshan Secret Realm, every Jindan late-stage monk who survived is only three or two drops of true spirit blood on average, so how can there be enough quantity to trade?

Although there are a large number of basalt turtles living in the secret inner circle of Songshan Mountain, it is not easy to search for them. These lazy guys spend most of their time resting and sleeping in lakes of various sizes.

Moreover, the breath of these basalt turtles is restrained during their long sleep, so it is not an easy task to find and kill them in thousands of puddles.

Of course, some auxiliary spirit pills for healing and detoxification are also essential. Fortunately, these commonly used cultivation materials are not traded with the blood of true spirits.

Two days later, everything was ready, and Zhao Shoushou had appeared near Songshan Mountain, waiting for the secret realm to appear, and there were already a few monks nearby who were waiting wholeheartedly.

As the number of monks gathers and increases, some temporary trading stalls will naturally appear, specializing in the sale of various talismans, panacea, and other materials that consume a lot, and the prices are obviously higher than those in the market. .

These stalls are convenient, fast and close to each other, and some impatient monks purchase quite a lot. These stalls can also earn a lot of spirit stones every day.

In addition to some stalls that rely on business to earn spirit stones, some monks who are quite full in their storage bags will also take the opportunity to set up stalls, bartering and hoping to exchange for some useful treasures. There are various kinds of treasures on the stalls, and most of them are some rare treasures.

It is also these treasures that are the most attractive to him. In addition to the normal practice of breath adjustment to ensure that his energy is at its peak, he spends most of his time on these stalls, and he also gets something of.

"It doesn't take much effort to find a place without breaking through iron shoes. This water-cooled spar is one of the key conditions for the fusion of water. Who would have thought of finding it here?" Zhao Shoushou whispered, thinking about a transparent spar in his hand. talking.

Water fusion is a relatively unpopular third-level treasure among the water attributes. It has helped him escape danger and save his life before, but every time he uses it, there are always some shackles, making it difficult to fully exert its power.

According to the records in "Congealing Water Jue", water-cooled spar is the only means to assist the success of water-melting technique. For this unpopular spiritual material, Zhao Shoushou had tried his best to search before but still had no results. Who would have thought that it would be in a booth? Appears, and only needs a piece of spiritual material of the same level to exchange.

In the future, he only needs to refine the water-cooled spar and carve a water mark on his chest. If he meets an unmatched enemy in the future, this will definitely be a bottom-line method to escape.

Two months later, with the rising sun on this day, forests, rivers, lakes, mountains and rivers suddenly appeared on the Songshan Mountain, which was originally empty. It was a completely different world, like a mirage.

"The Secret Realm of Songshan Mountain has been opened, the secret realm of Mount Songshan has finally been opened"

"The time to enter the Songshan secret realm is only one stick of incense. Fellow Daoists, hurry up. Once the time passes, the entrance to the secret realm will be closed."

Some monks who are very familiar with this place kept shouting and urging, it was as chaotic as a vegetable market, and most of these monks would not enter it.

The monks who are really ready to go deep into it can basically be divided into three categories, the first category: swaggering into the secret realm amidst the shouts of the crowd; the second category: quietly hiding their bodies and entering it; the third category: starting from signs Already left, entered from another direction.

Zhao Shoushou has always attached great importance to his whereabouts, and undoubtedly belongs to the third type. There is only one entrance to the Songshan Secret Realm, but the location of the entrance is not fixed. As long as a monk enters the Songshan Secret Realm, You can enter the real secret realm immediately after getting the response from the entrance.

Moderate dizziness is the sign of the end of the short-distance teleportation. With the improvement of his cultivation, this kind of teleportation will not affect him too much.

When Zhao Shoushou opened his eyes, what appeared in front of him was a group of towering trees. Under their cover, it was like being in a dark kingdom without a single ray of light.

The ground is the accumulation of thousands of years of falling, every step forward will sink into the ground about a foot deep, accompanied by the sound of rattling, in this absolutely quiet environment, there is no way to hide your body.

If it is possible to walk through the air in another place, but there is a powerful and irresistible air-forbidden force in the Songshan Secret Realm, monks cannot fly in the air at all, and it is impossible to even step into the air for a short time.

In such a strange environment, if his guess is correct, this place should be the territory of a powerful monster, perhaps somewhere secretly watching his every move, ready to attack at any time.

Zhao Shoushou, who seemed to be walking under the rattling tree, was extremely vigilant at this moment, and if any monsters that might be hidden attacked him, he could immediately counterattack.

In his right hand is a spider-like puppet. It is the third-rank top-grade puppet provided by the Yang family according to the agreement. It has installed enough top-grade spirit stones to provide power. Time assists in combat and inflicts heavy damage on unknown enemies.

Zhao Shoushou had a fat cormorant squatting on his left and right shoulders, observing the situation on the left and right respectively. Once he found any movement, he could give a reminder and assist in the battle.

The battle has not yet begun, but he has already put all his own strength on the bright side. It is the best strategy to pass through this strange forest without a fight. After all, his goal is to hunt the basalt turtle. It's not some other kind of weird monsters.

Chapter 690 Dangerous Secret Realm, Strange Monster Beast

There are nine times out of ten unsatisfactory things in the world, and the same is true for the road of cultivation. It is destined not to be smooth sailing. About a thousand feet away from the exit of the jungle, there is already a faint light. The dark monster was about Zhang Xu long, with densely packed lower limbs, a pair of weird spider heads, and a centipede body finally appeared.

Two weird guys blocked his way one after the other. On the small spider's head, a big mouth occupied half of the area, and the sharp teeth creaked and bit together forcefully.

Zhao Shoushou has seen too many monsters of different shapes in the past on the road of cultivation, especially in the overseas cultivation world, he can be said to be well-informed.

But when I saw such a strange combination with my own eyes, it was as if someone stitched two completely different creatures together to give a special life, which made people feel very awkward and uncomfortable.

Since they can occupy a dense forest as their territory, their strength should not be underestimated. They are all third-rank top-grade monsters. Judging from their aura, there should be a mixed poison in their bodies.

When meeting on a narrow road, the brave wins. Monster beasts and monks have always been rivals. Once they meet, there is no room for relaxation except for a life and death showdown.

Zhao Shoushou, who had exceptionally rich combat experience, was naturally prepared for this. When the two weird monsters appeared, he already understood that only by beheading them would he be qualified to move on.

When the strength is almost the same, the first opportunity is an important matter related to the control of the entire battlefield, and he will naturally not let it go.

The two cormorants surrounded and attacked a monster behind one left and one right. In terms of strength, they were far from opponents, and what they played was only entanglement.

Zhao Shoushou was the first to jump right in front of the monster blocking the way. A third-tier middle-grade Kuishuiyin thunder treasure talisman was sacrificed first, turning into streaks of blue lightning and falling on his body.

Thunder attribute attacks can usually catch all kinds of weird monsters by surprise, and it is naturally the most suitable for dealing with the monsters in front of them.

As the pioneer of thousands of years, the water control gun followed closely behind. The sharp tip of the gun turned into cold light and fell on the joint between the spider head and the centipede body, hoping to have the effect of determining the world in one fell swoop.

On the contrary, the Earth-Splitting Blade, which is the best at frontal attack and the most dynamic, is not easily used. Fighting in the secret realm must be resolved quickly. Once the entanglement is too long or the movement is too loud, it is likely to cause more unexpected changes.

The spider-headed monster itself is not weak, but the opponent it faces is also a solid golden core late-stage monk.

Under Zhao Shoushou's continuous and sharp attacks, he was soon at a disadvantage. Under Zhao Shoushou's serial attacks, he got out of the way little by little.

The two cormorants at the back teamed up and were barely entangled, and they looked precarious under the attack of the other monster. After all, there was an obvious gap in strength.

This kind of tacit understanding between monsters living together all year round is unparalleled. The reason why they behaved so badly in front of him alone is that they have never cooperated. Once the two meet, the effect of one plus one is greater than two.

"The wind is tight!" Zhao Shoushou yelled loudly, and the two cormorants each used their innate treasures to force the monsters back, then retreated quickly, and followed him to escape to the outskirts of the dense forest.

Zhao Shoushou was very clear about his purpose, he didn't want to fight to the death with a pair of monsters in front of him for no reason, even if there were not too many problems in winning, it would still be the same.

After leaving the range of the dense forest, the pair of strange spider-headed and body-bodied monsters did not continue to chase, and he was considered to have achieved his goal and successfully completed the intended goal.

In fact, at the same time, all the monks who entered the secret realm of Songshan encountered different dangers, or fell into the lair of monsters like him, or fell into some naturally formed dangerous places. In short, every monk was devastated .

The coping methods adopted by the monks are naturally different, either they are in a panic under the pursuit of monsters, or they easily kill their opponents, or they fall into it.

It seems that this is a test that all monks who enter the secret realm of Songshan must pass. Only the victors are eligible to continue to share the subsequent feast.

"The danger of the Songshan Secret Realm is worthy of the name. If you make a mistake in your response, you may die. I don't know how many dangers are waiting in the future." After ensuring a safe enough distance, he looked back at the dense forest in the distance with emotion.

The two spider-headed monsters are not weak. If he hadn't adopted a decisive strategy, he must have not escaped at this time. Even if he won the final victory, he would still need to pay some price.

After looking around, a smile appeared on Zhao Shoushou's face, as if the timing had come and gone. Following his eyes, he found a small tree that was about ten feet tall and covered in red. The fist-sized spirit fruit exudes a tempting aroma.

"Is this a reward after passing the test? The third-grade top-grade crystal jade fruit, refined one by one to increase the cultivation base for five years, and without any erysipelas." Zhao Shoushou murmured about the relevant information about the spiritual fruit, but the movements in his hands were Not slow at all, three times, five times and two times picked all the spirit fruits and placed them in a spirit sealing box.

Only these four spiritual fruits can improve his cultivation level for 20 years. This is also the significance of the monk's adventure. In the outside world, this kind of spiritual fruit has disappeared for more than a thousand years and has never appeared in Pine County.

Maybe there are only some long-inherited sects and sects in the forbidden areas, but unfortunately these are destined not to appear in Fangshi.

Stimulated by the crystal jade fruit, Zhao Shoushou's figure quickly disappeared in place, and he walked to the depths of the Songshan secret realm. This is only the outer periphery. In the inner periphery where the basaltic tortoise grows, how many natural materials and earthly treasures are waiting to be harvested? dig?

Zhao Shoushou's character has always been like this, as long as there are enough treasures in front of him, even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire in front of him, he will go forward and dare to try.

Perhaps it was this kind of tireless pursuit that allowed him to reach this stage smoothly as a casual cultivator, and was promoted to the late stage of Jindan.

In the process of moving forward, Zhao Shoushou only paid a small amount of attention to the various so-called treasures of heaven and earth, and his main goal was still the blood of the true spirit belonging to the Xuanwu lineage.

For him, all kinds of elixir, as long as the guardian spirit beast is slightly stronger, he will dodge and leave at the first time. With the number of Xuanwu turtles, he is unwilling to return empty-handed. After all, there is still a contract signed by Yang's puppet shop. A drop of true spirit blood that needs to be repaid cannot be denied.

Even so, in the face of some monsters who are good at hiding their bodies, they can only rush forward bravely. Fortunately, Zhao Shoushou didn't intend to kill them, and the journey was safe and sound. After two days, he finally arrived at Songshan Mountain In the inner circle of the secret realm, the biggest feature here is that there are lakes of all sizes almost everywhere in the eyes.

Chapter 691 The Lazy and Greedy Xuanwu Turtle

"The Xuanwu turtle is lazy by nature. It spends nearly two-thirds of its life in a deep sleep, and spends most of the few waking hours eating. It can be called the laziest monster among monsters." The information flowed through my mind, all of which were temporarily collected information about the living habits of the Xuanwu turtle before entering the secret realm.

Songshan Secret Realm is a place that can stably produce the blood of the true spirit, and the entire Song County attaches great importance to it. Naturally, some measures will be developed in advance to curb the habit of the Xuanwu turtle.

Before entering the secret realm, Zhao Shoushou bought some special baits that could lure black turtles, and was going to try it here to see how effective it would be.

"As far as the eye can see, there are more than [-] lakes, large and small. It would take far more time and energy to test them one by one. Could it be just luck?" Zhao Shoushou murmured. Time is no good policy.

For other monsters, they may judge whether it is worth investigating and probing based on the rich spiritual power in the water eyes. However, the Xuanwu turtle has a lazy personality and does not pay too much attention to spiritual power. In the ordinary ditch where spiritual power exists.

The promotion of Xuanwu tortoise is not directly related to spiritual power. Once these special monsters fall into a deep sleep, their bodies will gradually sink downwards, mainly by absorbing the power of various earth veins to improve their cultivation. Such a strange way Only this kind of monster with Xuanwu blood can do it.

However, this information does not provide any substantial help to Zhao Shoushou's current situation, and now it seems that he can only rely on luck to experiment one by one.

"It's no wonder that before entering the secret realm, many monks discussed that luck is a very important factor, and they first drew the first sphere of influence before other contending monks appeared. The current number of people is small, and there should be no more The monks are fighting for it," Zhao Shoushou murmured, and decisively drew a large circle in the air with his spiritual power, including all the more than [-] saliva eyes around him.

This is also one of the methods commonly used by monks in the Songshan Secret Realm. As long as there is no particularly fierce competition, they will generally not easily break into the sphere of influence designated in advance.

There are only two situations to break this conventional default method. First, the number of monks is large and the water eyes are getting rarer. This kind of situation mainly occurs in the later stage. With the continuous investigation, there may be basalt turtles in every water eye. Second, when a basalt tortoise really appears, it will also cause a large-scale competition. In addition to strength, chance is also an important part of who will win the tortoise.

The tacit understanding between the monks will only be broken in the face of real benefits. Now there is no need for the monks who have nothing to fight for.

Zhao Shoushou floated in the air, took out a fishing rod with more than [-] hooks, placed a small piece of bait on it, and under the urging of mana, they fell into a large number of water holes accurately.

A fishing rod and bait are one of the best baits for fishing basalt turtles that can be bought in the city of Songjun County.

Of course, this so-called effect is naturally limited. Only within a few meters around the body of the Xuanwu turtle will it wake up the sleeping monster.

It is said that Xuanwu turtles like to eat a second-grade top-grade spiritual fish called silver scale fish most. As long as it appears within a hundred miles of it, a large number of Xuanwu turtles will come out of their nests. It is also the best way for monks to hunt and kill Xuanwu turtles.

It's a pity that this kind of spirit fish has extremely strict requirements on the living environment. It has not appeared in the cultivation world for thousands of years, and it may only exist in the forbidden area of ​​some famous sects.

In addition, even if there is a silver scale fish in hand, once a large number of basalt turtles riot, a mere monk can only run away, which is also applicable to the joint siege of some sects.

One day, two days, three days, with the passage of time, the three hundred water eyes were tested one by one quickly, but they still found nothing. In desperation, they had to move to other positions.
