Practice begins with a fisherman

Because what he was facing now was the first battle after he was promoted to Foundation Establishment, his vigilance had never been let down, but after successive heavy injuries to the sand lizards, he was inevitably somewhat complacent and careless in his heart.

Facts have proved that there is a high price to be paid for a little carelessness in battle, and Zhao Shoushou is no exception, especially when there is not much difference in cultivation between the two.

Facing the sudden and swift attack of the broken-tailed long whip, I saw it retreating rapidly and at the same time, the first-tier high-grade copper coin shield knew it was invincible but brazenly fought it, just to buy a little time.

As for the second-level low-grade spiritual water water net technique, it was too late to use it because of too much consumption. The second is that after a fierce battle and two spiritual spells, the little mana in the dantian was not too sufficient.

The severed tail of the "Boom" sand lizard carried infinite power, and the copper coin shield was quickly defeated by a head-on collision, and several obvious cracks appeared on it. Adapt to the battle of the foundation building period.

The sand lizard's severed tail was determined not to give up until it achieved its goal, and it shot straight at Zhao Shoushou's chest, but the sacrifice of the copper coin shield was obviously not without effect.

At this time, the first-rank high-grade bronze dagger was once again entangled with a copper-red light, and the first-rank high-grade water singing sword turned into a sharp piercing sound, entangled with the second-rank low-grade sand lizard that was trying to escape after being seriously injured. .

After "Water Acupuncture, Edict" the mana in the dantian recovered a little bit, Zhao Shoushou saw the figure of the sand lizard was about to disappear in the depths of the desert, and he was indifferent to the broken tail that was so close at hand. The ferocious face of beheading him at this opportunity.

In fact, the battle has progressed to this level, and both sides are already exhausted, but Zhao Shoushou is obviously unwilling to leave an obvious disaster for the future.

You must understand that these monsters are quite vengeful, and they have countless first-tier low-grade monsters to drive them. Once they are released, it is conceivable that this oasis of life will not be completely stable for a long time in the future.

This is obviously contrary to Zhao Shoushou's plan to make this place a transit point between Anzhou and Xianzhou in the future, and it is precisely because of this that he will be killed here despite suffering some injuries.

"Hiss, hiss..." Under the second attack of the water needle technique, this newly promoted second-rank low-grade sand lizard obviously had no power to resist, and the screams gradually stopped, and it was protruding. The raised gravel gradually stabilized.

Almost at the same time, the sand lizard's broken tail also got rid of the entanglement of the bronze dagger, and attacked it at an extremely fast speed. Zhao Shoushou, who had just performed the water acupuncture technique, obviously had no ability to fight back.

In the face of this guy who is still strong and powerful despite several times of consumption, apart from activating the three first-tier mid-level defensive talismans left in the storage bag, he can only watch helplessly as he is no longer able to resist. Some critical dodge is still essential.

Under the attack of the sand lizard's severed tail, Zhao Shoushou had already turned into a state of flying upside down and spraying blood from its mouth. Fortunately, judging from its state, everything was still under control.

"How is the senior? Is there any place that the junior needs to serve?" The monks of the Shen family with broken arms and a pale face hurried forward to check.

In fact, Zhao Shoushou thinks that it is more likely that he wants to find out if there is any bargain. This is not an unreasonable malicious speculation. The money is touching. A complete second-level low-grade sand lizard corpse is worth hundreds of middle-grade spirit stones , For him, it is definitely a huge amount of Lingshi that can change fate.

For Zhao Shoushou, this is also something that cannot be given up. In exchange for hundreds of middle-grade spirit stones with the sand lizard, he can also try to buy some suitable second-order low-grade spirit pills, spirit materials and other related treasures.

"It's okay, just adjust your breath a little bit, and follow me into the house." After about a cup of tea, Zhao Shoushou put the second-order low-grade sand lizard into the storage bag with a wave of his hands.

"Zhao still has a question in his heart. Would you like to answer it?" Zhao Shoushou still couldn't figure out why a monk in the late stage of Qi refining could easily see through the details of the first-order high-grade cloud yarn illusion formation.

"Seniors don't hesitate to talk, but juniors know everything." Regardless of whether they are repaying favors or their status in the Foundation Establishment period, the children of the Shen family are very respectful.

"Zhao, I think that this phantom formation is quite effective, but I wonder how my little friend can see through it?" Zhao Shoushou bluntly wanted to ask.

"The large array arranged by the seniors is very effective. It is just that I passed by this place several times a few years ago and is familiar with the surrounding terrain. Such a big change must be due to a certain senior who is stationed here. The senior has a unique vision. It must be a solid foundation," the Shen family's children talked eloquently.

"So that's it, the friends in the oasis are casual, and someone needs to adjust their breath for a while." Zhao Shoushou's figure had disappeared under the lake just after the words fell.

Anzhou and Xianzhou are separated by the scorching desert, so the communication between them is not too frequent. Of course, this is not a problem for monks in the Foundation Establishment period or even the Golden Core period.

However, it is always the monks in the refining period who have the upper hand in the number of people. If there is an oasis in the desert that can provide protection and rest, and the monks in the foundation building period will be in charge, it will definitely be beneficial to promote exchanges between the two states. Naturally, a lot of effort can be made to make a lot of profits.

If time goes by and exchanges and trade become frequent, this oasis can even be considered as a trade transfer station and a small but elite market.

The premise of all these needs enough manpower, and it is far from being possible for him alone as a monk. This is a long-term plan exclusive to this place, and the child of the Shen family who was rescued by this coincidence is just one. A good stepping stone.

Chapter 189 The Art of Extracting the Soul of a Monster Beast

The Shen family, as a typical family that started as a trade in specialty products between the two states, had an unimaginable influence on some scattered small caravans.

The most classic thing is that whenever the Shen family's spirit camel team sets out at the beginning of the year, there will always be a pack team of hundreds of various spirit beasts following behind.

If it is possible to make friends with the Shen family and prepare spirit stones that can be earned by opening the door to welcome guests in the future, it will undoubtedly be a good publicity.

As for whether the Shen family is willing to make friends, there is no doubt about it. Although they have three foundation-establishment stage monks in charge, they certainly don't mind having one more foundation-stage stage friend who can help each other.

After some serious breath adjustment and cultivation, five days later, the injuries he received in the battle with the second-rank low-grade sand lizard basically recovered. Zhao Shoushou has already started to sort out the spoils, that is, the sand lizard that came to provoke him.

There are two ways to sell monsters in the world of comprehension. The first is to sell monsters as a whole. This method is simple and convenient, but the price is relatively low. Generally speaking, it is suitable for many hunting animals. A small team of monsters for a living, and mainly a trading method for a large number of first-order monsters.

The second is to organize the monsters into different categories and sell them according to different locations, and this is the way to choose as your first trophy.

Monster beasts are the same as monks, once promoted to the second level, their value will be greatly improved. It can be said that the whole body is full of precious treasures, and there is nothing to waste.

The blood of monsters can be used as raw materials for making second-order talisman ink, and a few drops of heart essence blood full of spiritual power can even be used to refine some special elixir.

The meat with the largest amount is the best blood food, which happens to be used to breed two first-tier middle-grade cormorants. Presumably, with sufficient blood food, they will soon be promoted to first-tier top-grade cormorants.

Although the sand lizard's fur left a few obvious holes in the battle, it didn't have much impact on its own value. It can be used to make second-tier low-grade robes. Its natural and beautiful patterns and some dust and high temperature protection And other features will definitely be popular.

The most precious thing on this second-order low-grade sand lizard is naturally the demon core contained in it. This small demon core can be called the collection of the essence of the monster, and it is also the part with the highest price. Stores are open for purchase.

Demon cores can be used as raw materials for refining elixir, and can also be used as spiritual materials to add to the refining of spiritual weapons, and even ground to make talisman seals. Of course, the most important function is to promote spiritual beasts. The advanced level, its wide range of uses can be called a real treasure.

After being ground, the bones of monsters can be used to cultivate spiritual fields to supplement the lack of spiritual power in the spiritual fields, which is especially indispensable for newly opened spiritual fields.

After finishing every part of the monster's body, the only remaining soul must not be let go. After being successfully promoted to the Foundation Establishment Stage, its soul has taken shape after being nourished by spiritual power.

A monk only needs to use a special method to drag it out of the body, and seal it in a treasure called "spirit sealing bottle", which can be stored for a long time and will not dissipate easily.

The role of monster souls is also very important. It is well known that the spiritual weapons suitable for monks in the foundation period already possess some weak basic spirituality.

This point cannot be achieved by relying on some spiritual materials alone. It is precisely because the souls of monsters with suitable attributes are added in the process of refining the spirit weapon.

The refiner will use secret methods to remove the dross from the soul of the monster and extract the essence, leaving a little bit of clarity to add to the spiritual weapon that is about to be formed. This is the key to the magical effect of the spiritual weapon.

It is precisely because the souls of the second-level monsters can be used as hard currency like spirit stones. Under normal circumstances, no monks will easily sell them, and they basically choose to trade by barter.

"This sand lizard is the real money-giving boy. With this soul in hand, it will be easier to trade in the future," Zhao Shoushou thought as he looked at the second-rank low-grade sand lizard that was sealed with magic.

Zhao Shoushou has been in a busy environment since he successfully established the foundation. He has almost become obsessed with refining a spiritual weapon that belongs to him, so he cherishes every treasure that can help him. .

As for the method of condensing the soul of monsters and beasts, it is naturally recorded in "Condensing Water Jue", although it is not very clever, it is enough to meet the current needs.

Zhao Shoushou didn't have the so-called "spirit sealing bottle", but temporarily using some jade bottles to seal the elixir can also achieve the effect, and the official start will be soon after all preparations are completed.

"The six gods seal the spirit, the soul is condensed, listen to my order, and come out" only to hear Zhao Shoushou shout out and take out a brush-like thing, dip it in some special talisman ink prepared in advance, and draw a complicated shape on the sand lizard's head Array.

Then I saw that he didn't dare to be negligent, sitting with his legs crossed in front of him, muttering something, and cooperating with an extremely complicated gesture with his hands at the same time.

In the final stage, every gesture seemed to draw a lot of spiritual power from his dantian, and his face became paler with every step forward.

For a newly promoted monk on the first floor of the foundation, it is not an easy process to perform this method, it needs to be wholehearted, and even the slightest carelessness will fail.

The consequence of failure is not only the counterattack of the method itself, but also the soul of the sand lizard will also be consumed, which means that he only has one chance to try.

At the same time, a gloomy, dark, slightly desolate force was immersed in his body, but the firm expression on Zhao Shoushou's face had never changed a bit.

This strange change lasted for about a stick of incense, and what finally appeared in front of him was a phantom like a tengu, which was exactly the "Tengu's soul-absorbing method" recorded in "Congealing Water Jue".

"The sky dog ​​appears, the soul comes out" Seeing that the time had come, Zhao Shoushou waved his hands forward, and a phantom formed by the mana quickly entered the sand lizard's brain from the magic pattern he drew.

"Hissing" about a quarter of an hour later, with the shaking of the second-level low-grade sand lizard's body, bursts of small, faint but clearly recognizable sounds came.

Zhao Shoushou guessed that it was probably because this sand lizard was also a newcomer, and it didn't take much effort to capture it with the Tengu Soul Absorption Dafa.

"Tsk tsk tsk, this is the legendary lizard soul? Can such a weak soul be used as a companion soul for a spiritual weapon?" Zhao Shoushou couldn't help talking to himself while looking at the barely recognizable phantom in front of him.

However, the movements of his hands showed no sign of stopping at all, and he swiftly sealed up the little dark power left after performing the Tengu's soul-absorbing method in the jade bottle.

In the next two days, Zhao Shoushou did not leave the customs, but carefully sorted out all the treasures on the second-rank low-grade sand lizard, and then he stopped his busy pace completely.

Chapter 190 Solicitation of the Boat Club

"This time I was lucky enough to escape a life from the lizard's mouth. I will remember the kindness of my predecessors. I will not dare or forget in this life. If my seniors call for something, I will come to help even thousands of miles away." This day has been waiting for a long time Shen's children came to say goodbye.

After a period of cultivation, the injuries have basically recovered except for the two broken arms. As for the broken arms, there is no other way but some precious panacea.

Whether it can be restored in the end depends on its status in the Shen family. If the ancestor of the family is willing to pay a certain price, the problem is not too big.

"Little friend Shen, you're being polite. It's just a chance meeting. There must be a big battle between this lizard. Besides, there is a lot of money in the station, which is not worth mentioning." Zhao Shoushou said pretending to be generous.

If he didn't value the influence of the Shen family behind him, how could he easily open this desert oasis to a casual cultivator in the Qi refining period who was deeply injured?

"The grace of saving lives is greater than the heavens. If you have the opportunity to pass by the Shen family's home in the future, please come in and talk about it in detail. The third elder of the Shen family where my father lives will definitely thank you for your kindness." The children of the Shen family expressed sincerely, of course Showing the strength behind it.

There are only three foundation-building stage monks in the Shen family who are qualified to take up the position of "family elders". As for the Shen family manor, it is located on a second-tier middle-grade spirit mountain that occupies a vast area.

"There are still many doubts about Zhao's new foundation building period. If he has the opportunity in the future, he will definitely go to Yixu." Since there is a monk of the same level, Zhao Shoushou will naturally not refuse.

"Senior, take care, and this junior will bid farewell." This monk belonging to the Shen family is also a straightforward person, which made him feel a sense of love for talents.

In fact, there have been some changes in the oasis these days, all of which were made by the descendants of the Shen family who have left. Near the northern border, a row of more than ten houses made of gravel as raw materials have been completed.

In places near the lake that are full of spiritual power but are leftovers, about two acres of spiritual fields have been simply opened up and are currently being soaked by the spiritual water in the lake.

Zhao Shoushou can use it to plant some low-grade and middle-grade first-grade spiritual rice only after sufficient water and spiritual energy replenishment. This may also be some way for him to repay his kindness.

"He's a caring little guy, but he needs to go back to Cormorant Island and move some of the belongings left here to be the real deal," Zhao Shoushou said to himself.

At that time, when I chose to leave Xianzhou, I didn't intend to change the cave, so some of the treasures were still left there, the most precious of which was the first-order low-grade purple jade green bee that had been carefully cultivated for many years.

When he left last time, the queen bee had already shown signs of being promoted to the first-tier mid-tier. If there were no accidents after more than ten years, she must have successfully advanced to the first-tier mid-tier by now, and could produce more royal jelly.

In addition, the low-grade first-tier elixir planted at the beginning also needs to be transplanted after years of cultivation, and will be used as the first batch of elixir in the oasis elixir garden in the future, and the most important thing is to continue to provide spirit bees with Survival picking the soil of Lingfeng honey.

In addition, there is one important matter that needs to be resolved on this trip. Zhao Shoushou has not communicated with monks of the same rank since he was promoted to the cultivation base. This time he returned to Cormorant Island, he also had to solve this problem.

As for the solution, of course the mysterious Fatty Jia, Zhao Shoushou still has doubts about his true identity, but this does not affect the friendship between the two.

Three days later, in the early hours of the morning, Zhao Shoushou, who had packed up, was ready to leave. As for the safety of the desert oasis, there was naturally a first-level top-grade cloud gauze phantom array and two spiritual beasts that fell into a coma after devouring a large amount of blood food from a second-level low-grade sand lizard. mortar responsible.

Originally, this desert was regarded as a place of death. When he entered the Qi refining period, his face was full of the state of "the wind is blowing, the water is cold, and the strong man will never return once he is gone".

This barren, arid and dangerous desert was no longer dangerous for him in the foundation building period, but he had already arrived in the cave of Cormorant Island in two days.

"Zhao was born here and grew up here. Since then, he has embarked on the road of cultivation. Today, he will leave after all. Perhaps this is the distress of casual cultivators. It is common for chasing south and north in order to improve his cultivation. This little spirit The veins will be passed on to those who come later, which can be regarded as leaving a trace of inheritance for Cormorant Island." Except for a copy of "Ripple Art" and a few first-level middle and low-grade talisman seals, Zhao Shoushou never left any treasures.

Perhaps apart from this island with the grace of nurturing, Zhao Shoushou, who was alone and lost his parents since he was a child, has no concern for anti-worldliness. .

"Fatty Jia, are you still alive? Isn't it worth going out to greet old friends?" Some small emotions obviously couldn't sway his judgment, and soon Zhao Shoushou appeared at the door of Fatty Jia's shop in Xiaofang City, Ziyu Mountain. forward.

After the concerted efforts of many sects and families in Xianzhou, the troubles of demons and chaos have basically stabilized during the years of his retreat. Even if there are some ghosts that occasionally spread, it is no longer a concern. Open for business, the cunning Fatty Jia is naturally among them.

"I haven't seen Daoist Zhao for more than ten years, how are you doing? You have already established your foundation? I don't know why Senior Zhao is here?" Fatty Jia's stunned and unbelievable expression was very funny.

"You and I met each other at the end of the day, so we can call each other as fellow daoists. Don't mention the name of senior again, but this time I need help from fellow daoist Jia." After being polite, Zhao Shoushou asked straight to the point.

"There is no learning before and after, and those who are masters are teachers. If there is any need, please ask the seniors to order." Fatty Jia, who has been struggling in the cultivation world for several years, has adjusted his emotions and shown unprecedented respect.

"Fellow Daoist insists on doing this, please do as you please. Mr. Zhao understands that Fellow Daoist Jia comes from a mysterious force, and there must be someone with great supernatural powers behind him to help. Today, I am here to invite fellow Daoist to help a certain person to introduce a small trade meeting in the first and second foundation building phases." Zhao Shoushou Tell me straight.

"Senior's eyes are like torches. Fatty Jia is a peripheral member of the Sailing Club. He is responsible for inquiring about some news in the area of ​​Cormorant County. Fellow Daoists are originally from casual cultivators and have no worries. Would you like to be one of them?" Fatty Jia's eyes A turn began to draw up.

The Sailing Club is a relatively loose organization, most of its members are casual cultivators, and of course there are also disciples from some families and sects. requirements.

Any needs of members are done by issuing paid tasks. As the backbone of the cultivation world, monks in the foundation period are naturally welcome as many as possible.

Zhao Shoushou is not disgusted with this, and even now urgently needs a similar organization to strengthen the collection of relevant information, facilitate the trading of treasures, and so on.

Chapter 191

Of course, as an organization that can successfully take root in the cultivation world, the Sailing Club must have its specialties. It will not rigidly assign tasks to members, nor will it charge membership fees for even one spirit stone.

However, every time a transaction is made or a task is released, the publisher will be charged a certain amount of handling fee, and the price is naturally very low or even negligible.

As the saying goes, water drips through stone, and little accumulates. It is precisely because of this that the daily trading volume is astonishing, which attracts more monks to join and form a virtuous circle of development.

This is also one of the main reasons why the Sailing Club was able to rise in just a hundred years. Now almost every county in Datang has trading points affiliated to them, and it has gradually grown into a force that cannot be ignored.

It is said that there are about three or five Jindan stage monks behind the boat club as the real backing, and there are more than a hundred monks in the foundation stage, and if they are gathered together, they are no less than some powerful sects.

In recent years, they may have felt some pressure. Many sects and families have begun to resist the invisible invasion of the sailing society.

This also caused some actions to gradually turn from bright to dark. Perhaps a seemingly inconspicuous deserted temple, a wealthy manor of a secular family, or even an inconspicuous gathering place of beggars may be the trading point of the boat meeting.

In order to prevent the leakage of news, the sailing club has become more and more strict in the review of new members in recent years, and now they are more inclined to recruit casual cultivators who are unattached and act unscrupulously.

And Zhao Shoushou, a newly promoted foundation-building monk who was born on Cormorant Island and has never had any direct contact with any sect or family, is the most popular target.

It was based on this point that Fatty Jia, as a peripheral member, had the courage to extend an invitation to him. If he could succeed, his position in the boat club would also be greatly improved.

As for Zhao Shoushou, he would not refuse either. If he joined, the problems that had been bothering him would be solved, and it might not take long for him to truly integrate into the group of monks in the Foundation Establishment period.

This point must not be underestimated. For many casual cultivators who have been working hard before, this is a problem that requires a lot of hard work to solve.

Another factor is about the purchase channels of second-tier low-grade spirit pills and spiritual materials, especially the second-tier spirit pills that help improve cultivation are the most important.

After the foundation-building period, a monk needs to consume a huge amount of spiritual power to advance to each level of cultivation. It is far from enough to rely solely on meditation practice. At this time, the help of spiritual pills is particularly important.

Just in stark contrast to the increase in demand is the reduction in the supply of spirit pills. After joining the sailing club, each member of the foundation period can have a certain supply ratio, and only need to raise enough middle-grade spirit stones That's right, it's relatively easy.

As a fixed organization, the Sailing Club naturally has a second-level refiner, who will be able to refine spirit weapons at a certain price in the future.
