Practice begins with a fisherman

Chapter 290 Qingyun Island and Qingyun Gate

Since Zhao Shoushou chose to travel a million miles to the overseas cultivation world to find opportunities to break through bottlenecks and improve his cultivation, he was naturally mentally prepared for these, but he needed to make sufficient preparations before the official departure.

He is not afraid of danger, nor is he afraid of fighting with monsters, nor is he even afraid of death, but he does not want to face danger and death without any preparation. Preparation and bravery are not contradictory, and they complement each other. .

Zhao Shoushou did not leave in a hurry like the others. Instead, he patiently rested on the barren Red Fish Island for half a month, and even became the only foundation-building monk on the island for a while.

It even attracted the attachment of the patriarch of the family who controlled Red Fish Island in the Qi Refining Period, in an attempt to obtain the blessing of a Foundation Establishment period monk, which would increase their safety several times.

It's a pity that his wishful thinking is doomed to fail. If he is greedy for comfort and enjoyment, wouldn't it be better to have a desert oasis with a first-level top-grade spiritual vein?

After a period of understanding, Zhao Shoushou basically has a basic understanding of some common sense in the overseas cultivation world. All the islands in the inner sea can basically be divided into micro islands, small islands, medium islands, large islands, and giant islands.

In addition to the area, the classification of the island is closely related to the spiritual veins, mineral deposits and even the monsters around the island. Of course, the area is the most basic value.

Those with an area within a radius of one hundred miles and possessing first-level middle and lower-grade spiritual veins are divided into miniature islands, and Red Fish Island is just a miniature island; Divided into small islands.

Covering an area ranging from [-] to [-] miles in radius, having at least one stable second-tier middle-grade spiritual vein, and having a second-tier ore vein can be called a medium-sized island. This is already a foundation-building family or The sphere of influence of the sect.

As for large islands, in addition to having an area of ​​more than [-] miles in radius, possessing third-tier low-grade spiritual veins, at least one third-tier low-grade spiritual mine, and three or more second-tier spiritual mines, these are just some basic conditions. Those who can occupy a large island must at least have There are more than three Golden Core ancestors and a stable Golden Core inheritance.

As for the giant islands, the conditions are more stringent, and even some ordinary jade slips do not describe them in detail. It just shows that there are only three giant islands in the Inner Sea that have ancestors in the Nascent Soul Stage. The core is also the most prosperous place.

It's a pity that the three giant islands are located in the core of the inner sea in a triangular shape, quite far away from the Red Fish Island, and there is almost a clear conflict with his next step, so there will be no way to go there for a while.

"Qingyun Island, Qingyun Gate, is a small island, and there is a monk in the late stage of Foundation Establishment sitting in the gate. It is also the most suitable place within a radius of [-] nautical miles," Zhao Shoushou muttered to himself.

Half a day later, a stream of light flashed by, and after a detailed comparison, he finally chose a definite target and headed towards Qingyun Island.

The seaway between Red Fish Island and Qingyun Island is basically completed, and every once in a while, the two sides will clean up some monsters entrenched on the seaway according to the division of responsibilities.

These sea lanes are also the basic roads between the various islands in the inland sea. As long as you follow the order, you can get there in three thousand nautical miles and half a day.

Of course, this does not mean that there is no risk on the sea road, and occasionally there will be some tyrannical monsters entrenched on it.

He is quite interested in Zhao Shoushou, an overseas monster, and even wants to meet one on the way, and compare it with the mainland monsters in the cultivation world.

This goal was obviously not achieved, until half a day later, an island full of lush greenery and life appeared in front of him. It was the destination of this trip, Qingyun Island, and also the location of Qingyunmen.

The most conspicuous thing here is the large number of spirit ships at the pier. The main task of these fleets is to transport some huge quantities of necessities and earn the difference between different islands.

Compared with the so-called spirit ships specially used for rushing in the mainland cultivation world, these ships are obviously different in essence. They may not be very fast, but they have good defense capabilities and some basic counterattack capabilities, and even some battle formations. The layout of the law is also essential.

An unremarkable spirit ship needs a suitable monk to sit on it, which is basically equivalent to a foundation-building stage monk. If a team of more than ten spirit ships can cooperate closely, it is not impossible to fight against the golden core stage monks.

The self-protection ability of these spirit ships is quite strong. In the overseas cultivation world, apart from these spirit ships that are mainly used for transportation, there are also some spirit ships that are specially responsible for combat and investigation.

"These spirit boats are exquisite, and we will need to equip one for traveling overseas in the future, but I don't know the price?" Zhao Shoushou's eyes sparkled and he muttered to himself.

Another purpose of coming to Qingyun Island this time is to sell the Qianjin second-grade low-grade pearl spirit rice bought on Jianghua Island before Yunchuan left, in exchange for some spirit stones.

Complete the preparatory work according to his plan, and head to the open sea for a period of three to five years or more than ten years. The price of this batch of Lingmi is related to whether he can purchase enough consumables in the future.

The purpose of going to the open sea is not only to find opportunities, but also to hunt monsters. Almost all the spiritual pills in the overseas cultivation world are refined with monster pills as the main material.

As long as all monsters are promoted to the second level, they will form a monster core in their minds. This small monster core almost condenses the essence of the monster.

Even these demon pills can be used as spirit stones for refining. In short, they have many functions, and they are also indispensable treasures in the cultivation process of many overseas monks.

As the only small island within a radius of [-] nautical miles, Qingyun Island is naturally a well-deserved core position. The monks coming and going are quite lively, and the more than a hundred shops are also typical representatives of small sparrows with complete internal organs.

The shop Zhao Shoushou chose was the Qingyun Pavilion located in the center, which should have been opened by the local overlord Qingyunmen, and the crowds coming and going were the best representation of what was left of the shop.

"Welcome senior to Qingyun Pavilion, what are your needs?" A monk who looked like a servant came up to him.

"Can the Guige buy lingmi? Sell the second-order elixir? Or it's more appropriate to ask the shopkeeper to come out and negotiate." Zhao Shoushou cut to the chase.

"Senior, please follow the little one to the second floor." The little guy is also a smart person, and he has already moved forward as soon as he finished speaking.

In a special room on the second floor dedicated to secret transactions, Zhao Shoushou was enjoying a cup of fragrant spiritual tea, waiting for the person in charge to appear by the way.

"Fellow Daoist has been waiting for a long time. I don't know what kind of Lingmi you are selling? What is the quantity?" About a quarter of an hour later, a monk with white beard and hair finally appeared. He should be the person in charge of this transaction, but he didn't know the authority. How many, everything can be completed smoothly.

Chapter 291 Dealing and Leaving

"The second-tier low-grade pearl spirit rice, I wonder how much your purchase price will be?" Whether the transaction price can be reached is the most critical point.

Prior to this, Zhao Shoushou also had a general understanding of the trading price of lingmi. The second-order low-grade pearl lingmi had relatively high requirements for the growth environment, and at least medium-sized islands were eligible for cultivation.

Moreover, most of the Lingmi is consumed internally, and the amount used for sale is quite rare, and there is a huge gap in the consumption of Lingmi by some small sects and even casual cultivators. It is a relatively precious resource.

Every year, most of the gap is made up by the transportation of cloud boats from the cultivation world in the mainland. In fact, Zhao Shoushou still can't understand why the overseas cultivation world here values ​​Lingmi so much?

In the mainland cultivation world, spiritual rice is just the most common consumable, and more than half of it is for sale, especially for high-level spiritual rice. However, Zhao Shoushou obviously does not have much interest in pursuing the root cause. Hope it sells for a good price.

The second-tier low-grade pearl spirit rice can already meet the needs of monks in the foundation-building period, and its quality is excellent among the same level. It is a treasure worthy of collection by all schools.

"The second-order low-grade pearl spirit rice is divided into upper, middle and lower grades according to the content of spiritual power. The upper-grade spirit rice has three middle-grade spirit stones, the middle-grade spirit rice has [-] middle-grade spirit stones, and the lower-grade spirit rice has two middle-grade spirit stones. "Grand Lingshi" is at the fingertips of the old man.

In fact, the Lingmi from the mainland is basically the highest grade among the same grade. As for the more detailed Lingmi grading scheme, most of them are for Lingmi produced overseas.

The selling price of Lingmi is basically open and transparent in Fangshi. As the largest store on Qingyun Island, Qingyun Pavilion is also the face of Qingyunmen for foreign transactions, so naturally it will not easily lower the price.

"Fellow Daoist, please inspect it." Zhao Shoushou casually threw out two storage bags, which contained the thousand jin of spiritual rice that was traded this time, and it was also the basis for him to venture into the open sea.

Through some simple understandings, under normal circumstances, if you want to explore the open sea, the best combination is to form a team of three to five foundation-building monks.

Unfortunately, just like before, Zhao Shoushou, as a newcomer, was extremely unfamiliar with this place, and he didn't dare to easily join the team hunting sea beasts before he knew enough about it.

Compared with the possible dangers caused by sea beasts in the open sea and various natural disasters, he is more afraid of man-made disasters that may occur at any time with almost no rules. This is especially easy to occur when faced with a large amount of income.

If you want to be a lone ranger in the open sea, you need comprehensive preparations, and the consumption of various resources is also a big head. Talismans, formations, one-time attack treasures, etc., can be said to be everything.

All of these need to consume a lot of spirit stones to purchase. Fortunately, there are enough spirit pills in his storage bag, which can save a lot of spirit stones. Basically, all the spirit stones obtained from this batch of spirit rice also need to be consumed here.

Relatively speaking, one entry and one exit Qingyun Pavilion is the real beneficiary of the greatest benefits, provided that there are enough types of treasures here to meet his needs.

"All of them are high-quality spiritual rice from the cultivation world in mainland China. How about three middle-grade spiritual stones for a catty? Fellow Daoists, are you willing to sell them all?" After a long time, the old-looking monk quoted a final price.

Zhao Shoushou was naturally satisfied with the three-fold difference in spirit stones, and he also understood that such a large transaction was qualified to be completed in a short period of time on this small island.

"The price of your pavilion is fair, and Mr. Zhao is naturally willing to make a deal. May the above treasure be provided?" Zhao Shoushou threw out a piece of white paper that had been prepared in advance. There were a lot of names densely written on it. Prepared things.

There are quite a few types of messy treasures, the most valuable ones should be the top three, two sets of second-tier middle-grade formation flags (one attack and one defense), two dozen 24 second-grade middle-grade sky fire charms, one dozen second-grade middle-grade water signs Spirit talisman, a 300-year-old demon-attracting plant.

Array flags are an indispensable part of trapping sea beasts, and they can also be used to save lives at critical moments when encountering powerful monsters.

As for the two kinds of magic talismans, they are also used to deal with the attacks of sea beasts. The price of the second-order middle-grade spirit talismans is expensive, and the corresponding power cannot be underestimated, especially when luring sea beasts into the formation. Unleash the most powerful fighting power.

As for the monster-attracting grass, it is even more necessary. If there is no such special spiritual grass, searching for a suitable sea beast in the boundless sea is as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack. The demon grass is even more indispensable.

The demon-attracting grass is a special kind of spiritual grass. Different years of the spiritual grass emit different scents, and the level of monsters it targets are also completely different.

The 300-year-old demon-attracting grass can attract the second-tier middle and lower-grade sea beasts. If there are second-tier top-grade sea beasts that are too close, there is a small chance of attracting them. Generally speaking, the danger is not too great.

The price of such a demon-attracting grass is more than 400 yuan for medium-grade spirit stones, and for this special spirit grass, it is only cultivated on a small scale in some specialized elixir gardens.

There are some specialties in the cultivation of demon lure grass. These spirit grasses are like a big eater who is extremely greedy for spiritual power. As long as there is sufficient spiritual power supply, the growth time can be shortened by ten times, which means It only takes 300 years to cultivate a 30-year-old lure weed.

"Fellow Daoist, do you want to go overseas alone? Do you need Qingyun Pavilion to introduce one or two suitable teams?" The old man of Qingyun Pavilion asked in surprise.

Because in recent years, the danger level of the open sea has become higher and higher, and even some monsters have begun to actively hunt and kill monks. There are fewer and fewer monks who are willing to take risks in the open sea, and it has gradually become a game for the brave.

Going to the outer sea alone is a rare move in recent years. Perhaps only some powerful Jindan stage monks can accomplish such a feat.

Of course, the entire overseas cultivation world encourages this kind of brave behavior. After all, it is of great benefit to the development of the living environment of the entire overseas cultivation world.

"Could it be that the Qingyun Pavilion can't gather the above-mentioned materials?" Zhao Shoushou said coldly, with an air of being inaccessible to strangers, as if he might turn around and leave at any time.

"There is no problem in completing the transaction. Fellow Daoist, just wait for a quarter of an hour." The old man sighed and went to prepare various supplies.

Half an hour later, a ray of light Zhao Shoushou turned into a ray of light and disappeared outside Qingyun Island. After confirming that there was no follower at a position of about [-] nautical miles away, he stopped temporarily on a deserted island.

In addition to the islands with spiritual veins in the overseas comprehension world, there are many such desolate islands without spiritual veins.

Chapter 292

This kind of deserted island without spiritual veins basically has no other affairs except for some beasts that have not yet opened their spiritual wisdom to step on the road of practice, and they are useless except for occasional accommodation.

Of course, according to common sense, there is no problem in raising some mortals with the fertile land on the deserted island, but unfortunately the environment here is completely different from the mainland.

Under normal circumstances overseas, mortals basically exist as vassals of monks. Without the blessing and protection of monks, any monster can swallow them into their stomachs.

Only on some deserted islands in the center of the inner sea where the environment is relatively stable, there will be some mortals farming. Of course, there are also some low-level monks sitting here to deal with various dangers that may arise at any time.

Zhao Shoushou is obviously not interested in these things. The reason why he stays here is to confirm whether there are any followers behind him. After all, money is touching, and the transaction of up to 3000 yuan of middle-grade spirit stones is enough to make many monks take risks.

On the other hand, I want to correct one or two here, whether it is from Red Fish Island to Qingyun Island or from Qingyun Island to this place, because the spiritual power in the dantian is consumed by the flying technique, so it must be restored in time to guarantee Make sure everything is at its peak when you reach the open sea.

As for the fact that there is no spiritual vein on the deserted island, it is obviously not a particularly important reason for him who has a lot of elixir to help him.

Because the spiritual islands with spiritual veins in the inner sea basically all have their own masters, no matter where they go, he seems a little out of place.

"Judging from the reactions of the monks here, the danger in the open sea is even higher than expected, so be careful." Zhao Shoushou sat cross-legged under a big tree and whispered to himself.

Although the open sea is full of dangers, it does not mean that there are no people. In fact, on some spiritual islands in the open sea, there are also many monks who occupy the island and become kings. Most of these monks are from casual cultivators.

It's just that because of the frequent attacks of monsters, the monks occupying the island are changed quite frequently, and there are no special marks on some charts.

Only some islands that have been occupied for more than one year and have strong strength can be recognized by the major islands in the inland sea and become a part of them.

Of course, monks like Zhao Shoushou who wandered around and devoted themselves to pursuing the Dao and all kinds of resources would not care about these things.

What they are more concerned about is where there are some nearby Wumingfang City for supply, the price is higher but it is more convenient and fast, after all, the distance between the inner sea and the outer sea is really a little far away.

What's more, some trophies can be processed nearby, especially the shells of the largest number of various sea beasts. If there is no fixed processing channel, it will be wasted without any gain. Of course, the most precious demon pills will not be sold easily.

Handing it over to these monks who are begging for life in the open sea, the price is low, which is somewhat a gain, and can be exchanged for some of the most commonly used consumables such as panacea and talismans.

After Zhao Shoushou entered the open sea, he needed to search for such a place immediately. He had gained some results from some inquiries before, but he couldn't guarantee that it would still exist. There is no fixed location.

About two days after the "wave breaking boat, order", Zhao Shoushou, who had basically recovered, took out a palm-sized spirit boat from his storage bag. It was also one of the harvests in Qingyun Pavilion. The strength is not outstanding, the only advantage is the speed, if it is fully controlled, it can be comparable to the flying spirit weapon of the foundation cultivator.

Originally, this spirit ship was not within his purchase range, but under the strong recommendation of the old man of Qingyun Pavilion, considering the surrounding environment, he finally bought it at a not-so-high price.

In fact, the scope of application of spiritual ships in the overseas cultivation world is much higher than that of flying spiritual weapons. Whether it is hunting down sea beasts or escaping from danger, it is one of the best helpers.

The key point is that the spirit boat only needs to be simply refined, and it does not need to be cultivated in the dantian on weekdays, it only needs to be stored in the storage bag, and there is no need to worry about occupying the position in the dantian.

The second-tier low-grade wave breaking boat only needs to consume a little mana during the voyage. It is unstoppable to overcome obstacles along the way, and quickly disappears on the sea surface as a waterline.

"It's really a mainland monk who is not afraid of tigers when he is a newborn calf. He travels in the open sea with a small boat alone. If he can return, he will be a potential stock worth investing in."

Qingyun Pavilion was originally the Qingyunmen's eyes and ears for snooping news, and a strange big-handed monk suddenly appeared, so it was necessary to do a simple investigation on his background.

These foundation-building stage monks who are in power in Qingyun Pavilion are all elders in Qingyun sect. Another important task is to recruit some young talents for Qingyun sect. Among them, the foundation-establishing stage monks in casual cultivation are naturally the first choice.

After all, there is only one small spiritual island in Qingyunmen, and there are less than ten foundation-building monks who can be called the main force in the school. It is really powerless to expand its influence.

However, their choice of Elder Ke Qing is not without any tests. The first thing to bear the brunt is undoubtedly the combat power. After all, fighting in the realm of comprehension is the eternal melody.

In the overseas comprehension world, the most able to reflect the combat effectiveness of a monk is the open sea. If he can wander alone in it for several years and kill monsters, and return safely, isn't it the most convincing evidence?

Zhao Shoushou, who had already left Qingyun Pavilion and Qingyun Sect, didn't know much about it. Even if he knew about the wooing of a mere Foundation Establishment sect, how could he be interested?Zhao Shoushou has no interest in acting as a thug for others.

Five days later, looking at a large island with a large area that disappeared behind him, his expression gradually became tense. This large island without spiritual veins is the dividing line between the outer sea and the inner sea. At the beginning, it was the boundary of stepping into the open sea.

After the "rumbling rumbling" left the island and weakened, the frequent huge waves on the sea put the small boat in a situation where it might be submerged at any time.

Compared with the gentleness of the inner sea, this place is still really rough. Only by conquering this place can the true demeanor of a monk be displayed.

In addition to some terrifying celestial phenomena, Zhao Shoushou even felt that the spiritual power in this place was extremely lively, and it was very difficult to refine it.

However, compared to these sea beasts that he was looking forward to the most, there was no trace of them, and no sign of sea beasts ever existed was found. This is the real headache but difficult to solve.

"Every monk I met was describing the dangers of the open sea, and every jade slip was introducing the horror of the open sea. Why didn't Zhao feel a little bit?" Faced with this situation, Zhao Shoushou said very puzzled, and couldn't help saying A little doubt rose in my heart from the previous understanding.

Chapter 293 Golden Crab and Rainbow Shrimp

Then I saw him shaking his head for a while, with a wry smile on his face, forcing himself to throw out the messy thoughts in his mind, forcing himself to raise his inner vigilance.

After all, being able to leave a strong reputation in the overseas cultivation world must have been achieved at the cost of the lives of a large number of monks. Here, the death of monks in the foundation period is too common, and even the monks in the golden core period cannot guarantee a certain degree of safety. .

At this time, he has not encountered any terrifying sea beasts or any dangers. One may be because he is temporarily on the outskirts of the open sea, and the other is because he was lucky for a while and has not yet penetrated into too dangerous places.

Of course, before officially hunting sea beasts, Zhao Shoushou needs to first find a spiritual island with a moderate size of spiritual veins to arrange the formation flag and demon-attracting grass.

Although the "Congealing Water Jue" he practiced is a pure water attribute practice method passed down from ancient times, it is obviously not enough in this vast sea.

In other words, it belongs to the sphere of influence of sea beasts under the sea water. If they enter it, once they are attacked, they will not be able to exert their combat effectiveness at all.
