Practice begins with a fisherman

Among the ten referees, the three are genuine third-tier alchemists of the Jindan period, and the remaining seven are also second-tier top-tier alchemists who have been famous for a long time and who may break through at any time, as well as foundation-building peak monks.

"Dangdangdangdang" About three times after the bell rang, more than a hundred second-tier refiners entered the arena, and they were the refiners who were preparing to participate in this competition.

Because one of the golden core stage monks reported the news of accepting apprentices, these craftsmen who participated in the competition were going to display all their abilities to fight for this rare opportunity.

The refiner meeting is divided into three rounds. The same spirit material is used to refine the same spirit weapon, and the winner or loser is determined by the quality of the final result. If the refinement fails, they can only be eliminated. Each refiner has only one chance in each round.

Chapter 287 The Scarred Cloud Boat

The first round is mainly to test the basic results of each craftsman. It is a second-order low-grade spirit weapon with a large knife shape that is the most widely circulated. Accurately distinguish the skill and inheritance of the craftsman.

The goal of the second round is a second-tier low-grade shield-shaped spiritual weapon. Only with at least two spirit patterns can one pass the level. This level can eliminate at least half of the monks.

In the third round, it is directly promoted to the second-level middle-grade, but there is no requirement for the specific shape, and the refiner present is free to use it. It is required to have at least five spirit patterns, and there is a basic requirement for the quality of the middle-grade spirit weapon. .

Judging from the assembly of the refining masters alone, there may be an illusion that there are a lot of second-level refining masters in the cultivation world, which is wrong.

Every refiner gathering gathers the main strength of the refiners in the cultivation world of the entire continent. If it is placed in every market, every second-level refiner who can refine spirit weapons is a master level exists.

The refining of a spirit weapon, from the refining of the spirit material, to the refining of the prototype, to the injection of the final spirit, requires enough time for each step, so every round of competition is from the beginning to the end even if it is in the spirit. With the help of fire, it will take at least half a month.

During this process, except for some craftsmen who really came to observe and steal their masters, most of the monks would be busy with their own affairs, waiting for the final result.

The same is true for Zhao Shoushou. After the first round of competition began, after observing the refining of spiritual materials on the first day, he got nothing from the skillful techniques of these monks, and turned away to go to a company that specializes in cloud boat ticket sales Go to the store.

Zhao Shoushou has always been quite curious about the mysterious overseas cultivation world, and has always wanted to study the difference between the two almost completely different inheritances of the mainland cultivation world and the overseas cultivation world.

What's more, according to some legends, the chances of appearing on the vast sea of ​​the overseas cultivation world are far greater than those in the mainland cultivation world. More than half of the Jindan monks have had the experience of wandering in the overseas cultivation world, and the corresponding degree of danger is also significantly higher. in the mainland.

This point is undoubtedly very attractive to Zhao Shoushou, who is determined to improve his cultivation. If he has the opportunity this time, he will definitely not give up.

It will take at least ten years or more to hundreds of years. If one accidentally falls in a dangerous place, it is not impossible. As for the development of desert oasis, it will always be ranked after cultivation.

What if it is successful in the future, even if it is taken over by someone with a heart?If you run an oasis wholeheartedly, wouldn't it be against your true inner thoughts?

"Is there still a ticket for the cloud boat after March?" Zhao Shoushou asked in a simple wooden house by the pier of Jianghua Island.

According to calculations, if everything goes well, when the craftsmen's meeting ends, it will also be the time when the next cloud boat arrives at Jianghua Island.

The cloud boat will stay in Jianghua Island for a month to load the goods, and then set off to return to the overseas cultivation world. If it can't catch up with this time, it can only wait a year later.

According to some gossip, the cloud ship that straddled the two cultivation worlds this time belongs to the Sea Lion Gate of the overseas cultivation world, and it is also the latest of the three cloud ships at present. When passing through some dangerous places between the two cultivation worlds, the safety degree will be improved accordingly, so it is naturally Zhao Shoushou's first choice.

"There are two top-floor tickets left in the cloud boat, and the price is 200 yuan for middle-grade spirit stones," a foundation-building monk in charge of ticket sales said lazily.

The cabin of the cloud ship is divided into upper, middle and lower floors. It is completely different from the conventional understanding that the lower layer near the bottom of the ship is the safest location, and the uppermost layer is naturally more dangerous.

Once in danger, regardless of natural disasters or monster disasters, the first to meet the test is naturally the top floor, and the casualties of every cloud boat trip are basically from the top floor.

The price of 200 yuan middle-grade spirit stones is already comparable to two second-level low-grade spirit weapons. Such a high price will also keep most monks out of the door, even monks in the foundation period are reluctant to buy it if it is not necessary.

Of course, everything is relative. In fact, the casualty rate on the cloud boat is not high, and casualties will not be encountered every time the boat sails.

"Book a cloud boat ticket" In the end, Zhao Shoushou still made up his mind to go to the overseas cultivation world. After all, in the mainland cultivation world where resources have been almost divided by various sects, as a casual cultivator, it is undoubtedly necessary to quickly improve his cultivation. It is quite difficult.

If Zhao Shoushou was in the overseas cultivation world, he could hunt and kill monsters in the vast sea to earn spirit stones. Of course, if he had the opportunity to occupy a spirit island, it would be an inevitable choice.

Before going to the overseas cultivation world, Zhao Shoushou would naturally buy some materials that can be sold at high prices in the overseas cultivation circle, and earn some spiritual stones through some buying and selling. Among them, the most popular ones are all kinds of spiritual rice.

Some stores in Ganghwado that specialize in spiritual rice purchase more than a thousand catties of second-grade low-grade pearl spiritual rice. Each of them is the size of a thumb, and all of them are transparent. You can clearly feel the sufficient spiritual power on it. It is necessary for a monk in the early stage of the foundation to practice for a day.

Before that, Zhao Shoushou had only heard the name of Lingmi with such a high grade but never seen the reality, but today it was an eye-opener.

Because it was still some time before the arrival of the cloud boat, the price of pearl rice had not yet reached its peak, but it still cost him 1000 yuan of middle-grade spirit stones.

According to the owner of the rice shop, if you can successfully reach the overseas cultivation world, the second-grade low-grade pearl rice can easily double its value, and it is not difficult to even exchange it for some precious spiritual materials.

In order to raise a huge amount of 1000 yuan of middle-grade spirit stones, Zhao Shoushou almost used up all the supplies in the storage bag. Now he can be said to be desperate, in order to go to the overseas cultivation world to pursue some vague hopes.

With the passage of time, two months later, the current Artisan Gathering was successfully concluded. One of the champions of the competition was a middle-stage foundation-building artisan who successfully forged a defensive spiritual weapon with six spiritual lines, and successfully learned from the ancestor of Jindan. It's really enviable.

This golden elixir ancestor was originally a casual cultivator, and his lifespan has exceeded 600 (after taking some life-prolonging elixir, the lifespan can reach [-] years), feeling that his cultivation base cannot be improved, Want to find a successor.

It can be seen from this that as long as he successfully passes a series of assessments, this foundation-building monk will definitely be trained with all his strength. As long as his luck is not particularly bad, there is already a great chance of condensing a golden core in the future.

But to Zhao Shoushou, these are just jokes. He is waiting for the arrival of the cloud boat and hopes that this big guy can arrive on time.

Because the distance is too far away, and there are many dangers during the journey, it is too normal for Yunchuan to miss the schedule. However, while he was waiting anxiously, a huge monster that was covered in tatters and even smoking white smoke finally arrived in Jianghua island.

Chapter 288 Thunder Swallowing Beast and Thunderstorm

The cloud boat is more than a thousand feet long and a hundred feet wide. The whole body is made of the fur and bones of a third-order middle-grade blood shark. This cloud boat that has completed a trip looks quite miserable, and it should be clean and flawless. There are still bursts of black smoke on the surface.

Obviously, the journey this time was not too smooth, otherwise how could the cloud boat, which has always been known for its toughness, become like this?

The third-tier mid-grade blood shark is a special monster in the overseas cultivation world, and it is one of the most burly monsters known in the cultivation world.

Although it is only a third-tier mid-tier, relying on its huge size, it can fight against the ancestors of the Nascent Soul Stage. It is quite difficult to hunt and kill this kind of monster. The blood shark is one of the overlords in the sea area.

"I don't know what kind of terrifying existence exists between the cultivation world on the mainland and the overseas cultivation world, which can damage the cloud boat to such an extent?" Looking at the appearance of the cloud boat, Zhao Shoushou couldn't help but imagine.

In addition to its own strength, each cloud boat has at least five Golden Core monks sitting in command, usually one in the late Golden Core stage, two in the middle stage, and three in the early stage. This is already a strength that people look up to.

This also means that even if it is a fourth-order monster comparable to the Yuanying stage, it will need to pay a huge price to destroy the cloud boat, which shows the danger.

According to normal circumstances, the cloud ship will stay here for a month and then set off on the return journey. According to the current situation, the repair of the cloud ship may take more time.

However, neither the monks who boarded nor the cargo owners who transported the goods were in a hurry about this, because they were thinking about their own lives.

Sure enough, after unloading all the cargo, dozens of foundation-building monks were like hardworking ants, constantly going up and down around different positions of the cloud ship, repairing every possible damaged position.

Because it is related to his own safety, Zhao Shoushou has been carefully observing the entire repair process, and some key parts were even taken care of by Jindanqi monks himself.

Even so, the repair of the cloud boat lasted for three months. During this period, due to the arrival of overseas treasures, Ganghwa Island once again had a small climax.

Zhao Shoushou also took this opportunity to participate in several trade fairs of various sizes, but unfortunately, no matter whether it was the flying spirit weapon or the Qianren stone, there was no trace of it.

In the midst of this kind of busyness, it was already three months later, and it was time for the cloud boat to leave. On this day, under the eyes of everyone, the huge cloud boat finally took off.

Sitting cross-legged on the top of the cloud boat, Zhao Shoushou looked down from above, and the entire Jianghua Island gradually became the size of a grain of rice until it disappeared.

During the journey of the cloud boat, because they may encounter danger at any time, all monks must follow the requirements, and they cannot even leave the small room without permission.

"One, two, three, the room on the top floor has three restrictions that are exposed to the outside, I don't know what the scene is like on the bottom floor of the middle-grade Lingshi, which costs 800 yuan per ticket." Sitting cross-legged in the small room Zhao Shoushou couldn't help thinking.

Fortunately, the supply of spiritual power in every room on the cloud boat is sufficient, and half a year is not too difficult for many monks who are at least in the foundation establishment stage.

The flight of the cloud boat was stable, even as time passed, Zhao Shoushou could not feel any fluctuations in it, as if it was stagnant in the air.

"Dear friends, we are currently in a safe area, everyone can go to the deck to rest for half an hour." About a month after leaving Jianghua Island, a loud voice finally appeared.

Zhao Shoushou was naturally very interested in the situation between the two cultivation worlds, and naturally he would not hesitate after obtaining permission.

The deck of the cloud boat is also quite wide. When Zhao Shoushou walked out, there were already many monks on the deck, basically during the foundation building period.

There are a thousand passenger cabins on the entire cloud ship, and there are about seven or eight hundred monks who appear here, which also means that the remaining monks should often travel between the two cultivation worlds. For some current scenes, it is natural Not interested.

"Floating among the white clouds, freely traveling between the heaven and the earth, breaking all the confinement of the heaven and the earth, this is the real monk." Looking at the deep and lingering white clouds, as if he was in a heavenly palace, Zhao Shoushou could hardly restrain his inner emotions .

After being promoted to Foundation Establishment, you can fly anytime, but you can only fly about [-] feet above the ground, and the speed is not too fast. Because it consumes too much, it can only be used at some critical moments.

Although having a flying spirit weapon can provide some help, it still cannot escape the real shackles. This is the first time for Zhao Shoushou to enjoy real flying.

If you rely solely on your own cultivation, perhaps only when you condense the golden core and have the ability to continuously refine spiritual energy, can there be a slight possibility of realizing it.

It's a pity that most of the monks have been blocked by an almost insurmountable ditch between Foundation Establishment and Golden Core. The purpose of Zhao Shoushou's trip is also to hope to find a way to reach the sky with the help of overseas forces.

There is an appropriate analogy in the world of cultivation. From the Qi refining period to the foundation establishment period, there is no one in a hundred, and from the foundation establishment period to the Jindan period, there is no one in a thousand. Isn't the comparison between the two the best explanation?

Half an hour passed in a flash, and all the monks returned to their rooms on time and quietly waited for the end of the journey, hoping to arrive at the overseas cultivation world as soon as possible.

Naturally, the journey across the two cultivation worlds was not smooth. One day after three months, Zhao Shoushou, who was running the Great Circle in his room, suddenly felt that the entire cloud ship was in an inexplicable tremor.

Through a small window, one can see dense lightning bolts like long snakes twisting their bodies crazily, accompanied by one after another of thunder and lightning that almost wraps the cloud ship in it.

"The cloud boat encountered a thunderstorm and is about to quickly lower its flight altitude. Fellow Taoists, please stabilize your body." Zhao Shoushou felt a strange feeling as if he had lost weight before he finished speaking.

Under the continuous attack of lightning and thunder, Zhao Shoushou could even clearly sense the damage suffered by the cloud boat, and the slightest breath was rising.

Facing such a terrifying celestial phenomenon, if it weren't for the protection of the cloud boat, a mere foundation-building monk would have lost his soul and had no power to fight back. This is the power of nature.

"There are such strange monsters in the world, soaring in the thunder and lightning, and devouring the rich thunder and lightning for a living." When the cloud boat flickered and was about to leave the thunderstorm, a huge figure looming through the small window appeared in Zhao Shoushou's eyes. in the eyes.

Thunder and lightning are the most powerful attacking power in the world. Every lightning and thunder contains special power, and its destructive power is beyond doubt.

How could Zhao Shoushou not be shocked in the face of a strange monster flying freely in the thunderstorm?I just don't know what is the root of this monster?

Such a powerful monster is definitely not an unknown person, and will definitely leave relevant records.

Chapter 289 The Remote Red Fish Island

After the figure of the cloud boat disappeared, the two middle-aged monks wandered in the thunderstorm like a stroll in the courtyard, and the lightning could not cause them any harm.

Even before the thunder and lightning arrived, they had automatically dodged away, but judging from their expressions, the two monks with great powers seemed to be looking for something.

"The cloud boat has escaped from the thunderstorm, so I don't need to rescue it, but I don't know if there are thunder-swallowing beasts in this thunderstorm." A monk with a stiff face and a Taoist robe muttered to himself.

"Judging from the frequency of thunderstorms in the recent period, there must be a Thunder Swallowing Beast within a radius of [-] miles." Another monk smelled bad, like a beggar everywhere.

"The camel mountain tortoise doesn't have much longevity left. If we can't find a thunder-throwing beast's inner alchemy as soon as possible, the possibility of being promoted to the sixth level is very small, and the help for us in the future will also be greatly reduced." Taoist monk An anxious look appeared on his face.

This is really too rare for the two monks with great supernatural powers who have already calmed down and did not change their color before Mount Tai collapsed.

"Fate comes and goes, it depends on the fate. Even with the help of the camel mountain turtle, the chances of us going upstream through the space gap and reaching the spirit world are not high. How many people have succeeded in the past and present?" open-minded.

Not long after the cloud boat left, the thunderstorm suddenly became more violent, and at the same time, the mournful cry of the Thunder Swallowing Beast spread all over the place, but Zhao Shoushou did not see this scene.

In his eyes, the Thunder Swallowing Beast, which could roam freely in the thunderstorm and feed on lightning, did not have much power to refute it under the joint efforts of the two monks. In addition, it has been restored as a part of the thunder and lightning between heaven and earth.

The rest of the journey from the cultivation world in the mainland to the overseas cultivation world can be said to be smooth sailing, and the various wonders along the way really opened his eyes.

Or the distant and boundless sea, or the polar night without a ray of light, monsters bigger than cloud boats, giant birds that can span tens of thousands of miles in an instant when they flap their wings, only fist-sized but densely packed in numbers that can almost cover the sky The flying birds of the day, the fighting of strange beasts in the deep sea and so on.

Only through this trip did Zhao Shoushou truly understand that a monk in the Foundation Establishment Stage is just the most insignificant and ordinary existence in the world, and powerful people abound.

"Fortunately, these powerful monsters don't have much interest in the dull cloud boat, otherwise the only bridge of communication between the two cultivation worlds may be cut off." sigh.

In fact, he didn't know that at the beginning of the cloud boat's journey, it was a fluke that each cloud boat could go back and forth twice. He didn't know how many monks fell in the middle of the journey, and some of them were monks in the Nascent Soul stage.

It was in this seemingly endless fight to the death that a stable passage between the two cultivation worlds was opened up. Of course, Zhao Shoushou didn't know about this.

Now nearly a thousand monks including him on the Neiyun boat are eagerly waiting for the moment when they get down to earth. After seven months of arduous journey, after successfully overcoming various difficulties and obstacles, they finally arrived in the overseas cultivation world.

The island that Yunchuan stayed on this time is a small island called Red Fish Island at the junction of the inner sea and the outer sea. There is only one first-order middle-grade spiritual vein here, which belongs to a family of Qi refiners.

Because it is famous for the habitat of some first-rank and low-grade spirit fish red fish, catching spirit fish is also one of the few livelihoods of the monks on the island.

Of course, this is not the final destination of the cloud ship, because every time you deal with various accidents during the journey, the location in the overseas cultivation world is different, and the place where the cabin monks leave the spirit ship is the first place they encounter It is a spiritual island, which means that every time you stay on a spiritual island, it is different.

However, the stay of the cloud boat is a good thing for Red Fish Island. This remote spiritual island may usher in prosperity in a short period of time, and many monks can also take this opportunity to earn some spiritual stones and precious resources.

It would be the luckiest thing to be accepted as a disciple by a senior. The monks who lived here for a long time were excited like never before when they saw the cloud boat, and immediately took out the treasure at the bottom of the box.

Among all the items, the most prepared ones are a large number of sea charts. The cheap sea charts are the first items purchased by many people who come to the overseas cultivation world for the first time.

"This is the overseas cultivation world? This island doesn't seem to have too many characteristics? How can the spiritual power be so thin?" This is exactly what he felt from the bottom of his heart when he set foot on the island. It is as rich as Zhao Shoushou imagined. Overseas is completely different.

In fact, most of the monks who came here for the first time had almost the same expressions on their faces, complex expressions such as disappointment, hope, desire, etc. were condensed together.

"The latest version of the sea chart, there are 150 and six islands within tens of thousands of nautical miles of Red Fish Island, and each copy is priced at ten low-grade spirit stones."

"Seniors came across millions of miles and worked hard all the way. Wang's Inn has good service and the whole fish feast is famous. Don't miss it when you pass by."

"This senior needs to rent a spirit beast to go to other islands. The first-level mid-level water turtle has a gentle temperament, high endurance, and fast speed. It only needs one low-level spirit stone every day."

As soon as Fang set foot on Red Fish Island, except for some local monks who knew the way and left by various means, the remaining hundreds of monks were besieged enthusiastically.

Zhao Shoushou ignored all kinds of cries, and after purchasing a chart, he chose a secluded place to study it carefully.

These charts are the most basic information if you want to venture into the overseas cultivation world. Through these charts, you can not only quickly confirm the next target, but also avoid some risks.

On this vast sea, the monks just rely on each island to live, and they have never gained a real upper hand compared to the monsters.

All kinds of dangers emerging on the sea are obviously far greater than those on the mainland. Whether it is monsters or natural or man-made disasters, they can easily take their lives. Before leaving, you must have a basic understanding.

The overseas practice world is divided into the inner sea and the outer sea. The inner sea has basically been occupied by the monks and formed a small network as the base point. There are also a large number of monsters living in the middle of the network.

The outer seas are completely dominated by monsters, no matter the sea areas or islands are basically occupied by them, it can be said that there are many dangers.

Of course, risks and benefits are directly proportional, and the opportunities in the open sea are also the most. All kinds of spiritual fruits, ancient caves, and secret realms basically come from here.

Another point is that for most new monks, if they don't want to live under others, they can only choose to go out to sea and fight monsters, and gradually expand the living range of monks. This process is full of blood.
