Yaoguang Island is a well-known island in the Dry Yin Sea.This place is not controlled by any forces, but an alliance of many casual cultivators to jointly maintain the order here.

This is a paradise for casual cultivators. Any cultivator, no matter what his origin or status, can practice on the island and receive protection as long as he pays enough spirit stones.

Because of this, Yaoguang Island has attracted countless monks who come here admiringly.There are monks who have offended certain forces and come to seek refuge; there are also casual cultivators who yearn for freedom and are unwilling to join other forces to be bound; there are also some vicious people who use this place as their lair and often come here to avoid the limelight.

Yaoguang Island is full of mixed fish and dragons, and the black market is everywhere, which also makes the island extremely prosperous.No matter what rare treasures, as long as they are found in the Dry Yin Sea Area, they can be found on Yaoguang Island.

Song Mo came to Yaoguang Island 20 years ago and rented a cave full of aura to practice.Over the years, he successively sold all kinds of treasures he got from Li Jingyu on the black market, making a lot of money.

These spirit stones come easily, and it doesn't hurt to spend them.In addition to purchasing various pills and spiritual herbs for his normal cultivation, Song Mo also generously equipped all kinds of rare materials required for the second layer of "Phantom Spirit Art".

Now that 20 years have passed, Song Mo has not only raised his cultivation to the peak of the late stage of the Peiyuan Realm, but also successfully cultivated the magic spirit technique to the second level of Dzogchen.As for the third level, it can only be practiced after entering the alchemy realm.

Song Mo's current cultivation could no longer continue to grow, but he didn't dare to try to form alchemy lightly.In the world of comprehension, there are many monks who are stuck at the peak of the late stage of Peiyuan realm, but there are only a few monks who have successfully formed alchemy, which shows the hardships involved.Moreover, there is only one chance to form a pill, if it fails, the meridian and dantian will be destroyed, and there will be no hope on the road to longevity.Even some monks dare not form alchemy throughout their lives.

Song Modao was firm in his heart and was not afraid of the risk of forming an alchemy.In fact, because of the existence of stone beads, his risk of forming alchemy is countless times lower than other monks.But Song Mo still wanted to prepare more fully and comprehensively.

--------

On the boundless sea, an ordinary-looking ship is slowly moving forward.

This is the Lijin Sea, located in the remote area of ​​the Dry Yin Sea, away from the prosperous islands such as Yaoguang Island, and few monks appear.In the high altitude above the sea, the violent wind was raging, and the violent metal energy visible to the naked eye was all over the air, and the monks could not fly in the air at all.Therefore, the Lijin Sea has another name, the Forbidden Kong Sea.

The sea ship moved forward steadily in the waves, and the entire hull was shrouded in a yellow halo to protect it from being eroded by the waves.

Suddenly, countless black spots appeared not far in front of the ship.As the black spot got closer and closer to the ship, it could be clearly seen that it was a group of sea monsters with black thorns all over their bodies, about four to five hundred of them.

"This is a black thorn beast, a herd monster, and each one is at least a second-level monster. There are so many monsters, there may be four or five monsters among them, it seems that we are in trouble." , a middle-aged man in purple had an ugly expression on his face.

The name of this middle-aged man was Fu Qin, and he was in the middle stage of the Yuanyuan Realm. Around him, there were several monks in the late stage of the Yuanyuan Realm standing, all frowning at the densely packed black thorn beasts in front of him.

"Fellow Daoist Fu, what should we do now, go out and fight directly, or escape in another direction?" The person who asked the question was a carefree monk named Zhang Cheng.

Fu Qin glanced at Zhang Cheng, and said: "It's impossible to run away directly. The black thorn beasts are extremely fast. Now that they are so close, our sea ships can't get rid of them at all. And the black thorn beasts are very powerful. So many The Black Thorn Beast can't be dealt with by us alone. If the time is prolonged, maybe it will attract other more powerful monsters. In my opinion, it's better for us to leave some people behind and let the sea ship go first. After the boat is far away, the broken fellow Taoist will follow up."

When everyone heard the words, they looked at each other in blank dismay. Those who stopped the Black Thorn Beast obviously had to bear a huge risk, and they might lose their lives here.

No one answered for a while.

Fu Qin wasn't in a hurry, and said slowly: "Fellow daoists who are willing to break up, can pay [-]% more than what they promised before this trip. What do you think, fellow daoists?"

As soon as the words fell, several monks showed hesitation on their faces.

Song Mo's heart was also moved. Two months ago, he accepted Fu Qin's invitation to escort the ship to a remote island, and the reward was two Heavenly Return Pills.

Tian Huan Dan is taken when breaking through to the alchemy state. After taking it, it can instantly replenish a large amount of spiritual power consumed during the pill formation, preventing the failure of the pill formation due to insufficient spiritual power.This kind of elixir is extremely rare, and there is no market for it.Song Mo searched Yaoguang Island for a long time, but he couldn't buy it. It appeared on the black market once, but unfortunately, the other party asked for barter, specifying a kind of ore called Meteor Heart Iron in exchange, and Song Mo had to give up.

Therefore, when Fu Qin approached him and asked him to escort the ship to a remote island in the Dry Yin Sea in return for two Tianhuan Pills, Song Mo agreed without hesitation.Fu Qin was also very forthright. After setting sail, he immediately paid a deposit of Tianhuan Pill, and the remaining one would naturally have to be paid when he reached the destination.

Now that there is an extra chance to get a Heaven Repaying Pill, Song Mo will naturally not let it go.What's more, he is sure to retreat from the attack of this group of black thorn beasts.

Besides Song Mo, there were five other monks who chose to stay and end their heirs.Song Mo didn't know what the reward Fu Qin had promised them was, but it must be something extremely precious and enough for these cultivators in the late stage of the Peiyuan Realm to work hard for.

Where did Fu Qin, a monk in the middle stage of the cultivation realm, get so many precious things?A thought of doubt flashed through Song Mo's mind, but he ignored it indifferently. After all, Fu Qin did have the Heaven Repayment Pill in his hands. As for the source of the thing, Song Mo had no intention of finding out.

Without further ado, seeing the herd of blackthorn beasts getting closer and closer to the ship, Song Mo and five other monks sacrificed their flying magic weapons and left the ship.Although it is impossible to fly in the high altitude of the Gengjin Sea, it is still no problem to float at low altitude close to the sea surface.

Soon, everyone was surrounded by black thorn beasts.

The black thorns are covered with long black thorns all over the body. These black thorns are extremely sharp and can fall off from the beast's body to attack the enemy.Falling into the siege of the black thorn herd was like facing a rain of arrows all over the sky.

If it were an ordinary Yuanyuan cultivator, in this endless rain of arrows, he might not even be able to last a meal.

Fortunately, the cultivators of the Yuanyuan Realm who dared to stay had some brushes. Although they were a little embarrassed surrounded by the black thorn herd, their lives were not in danger.

Song Mo was the most relaxed of them all. He had a silk bracelet to protect his body. Although those black thorns were very sharp, they couldn't break through the protection of the top-grade spiritual weapon.

Randomly sacrificed a flying sword, a spiritual weapon, and a black thorn beast died as the flying sword passed by.Song Mo just attacked casually, and didn't do much killing, so as not to anger the fourth and fifth-level black thorn beasts in the herd.

Anyway, he just wanted to delay the time, these black thorn beasts had low IQ, they only knew how to surround them and attack fiercely, none of them left to chase the ship.

After about two sticks of incense, the sea boat had gone out of sight.Most of the people's mana was also consumed, and they all began to escape from the siege of the black thorn beast.

Although the speed of the black thorn beast in the water was extremely fast, it was not as fast as the monk's flying speed. It didn't take long for everyone to get rid of the black thorn beast's pursuit.

Back on the ship, except for Song Mo, the other monks were more or less injured.There is also a late Peiyuan cultivator named Huang Shen, who was really unlucky. Because he killed too many black thorn beasts without any scruples at the beginning, he was besieged by several fourth and fifth level black thorn beasts at the same time. Unfortunately lost in a battle.

Fu Qin came up to greet him, and warmly greeted the returning monks one by one. When it was Song Mo's turn, seeing his unscathed appearance, a trace of surprise flashed quickly in his eyes, and then he smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Song is really hiding something. I was mistaken before. Along the way, I will have to rely more on Song Daoyou’s supernatural powers!"

With that said, he took out a silver-white jade bottle from the storage bag and handed it to Song Mo.Song Mo knew that this was the reward for stopping the Black Thorn Beast that he had promised earlier, so he put it away calmly.

Since most of the monks who returned were wounded, Fu Qin exchanged some pleasantries before letting everyone go back to the cabin to rest.The ship has two floors, with a total of more than 20 rooms. Song Mo and other monks lived on the second floor, while Fu Qin and his senior brother lived on the first floor.

Speaking of Fu Qin's senior brother, Song Mo only met once when he boarded the ship on the first day, and he hasn't seen him since.That person always stayed in his room to practice and never went out. Usually, Fu Qin came forward to deal with the monks.

Song Mo went back to his room to check the Tian Huan Pill he had just obtained.The Tian Huan Pill was about the size of a broad bean, with a ruddy color, and it lay quietly in the palm.Song Mo sighed lightly. Counting this one, he now has two Heavenly Repayment Pills in total. When this mission is over and the last pill is in hand, he can start preparing for the retreat to form the pill.

Daoist Huandan, what an enviable existence.If it is said that the cultivation realm is officially entering the realm of comprehension, then the realm of returning alchemy can already be regarded as a strong man in the realm of cultivation.

One day, I will become such a strong person, even, a stronger existence...

On the first floor of the ship, in a dim room, Fu Qin respectfully bowed his head in front of a black-clothed monk, and said, "Master, in a few days, we will be able to leave the scope of Geng Jinhai. I believe it won't take long." In time, we can reach Qingxuan Island."

"Well, this is already the outskirts of the Dry Yin Sea Territory, and the monsters encountered will probably become stronger and stronger. Those monks who were injured today have no complaints, right?" The person who spoke was impressively the one that Song Mo saw on the day of the ship. The so-called "senior brother" by Fu Qin.

"According to the master's instructions, the subordinates handed out the rewards for blocking the monsters on the spot. Those monks were too happy, so how could there be any complaints? The master is wise. Anyway, these things are only stored on those monks temporarily. Xuandao, don't you have to obediently return all of them." Fu Qin flattered carefully.

The black-clothed monk said lightly: "Well, you should also pay attention to your usual actions, so as not to arouse their suspicion."

Fu Qin responded respectfully, thought for a while and said: "By the way, I just discovered today that the monk named Song Mo may be a bit clumsy. Among the monks left behind this time, he is the only one who didn't. Injuried."

"It may be that he has some top-level defensive spiritual weapon on him, and it doesn't matter. You can inquire about the situation with other people later." The monk in black said.

"I obey." Fu Qin respectfully responded, and seeing that the black-clothed monk had no other orders, Fang quietly left the room.

In the next few days, the road was uneventful and there was no danger.Occasionally encountered a few monsters, but they did not pose a threat to the ship, and they were easily killed by the people on board.

The ship quickly left the scope of the Gengjin Sea and entered the Tianliu Sea.

The island that Song Mo and the others are going to this time is in the Tianliuhai.There is no air restriction in Tianliuhai. When you encounter danger, you can go directly to the sky to avoid it.But none of the monks on the ship felt relieved, because, starting from this sea area, there will be high-level monsters haunting them.

Of course, the number of high-level monsters is rare, scattered in this vast sea area, the chance of encountering them is extremely small.Everyone on the boat can only pray that their luck will not be so bad, and they can return to Yaoguang Island safely.If Fu Qin hadn't offered such a generous reward that people couldn't refuse, no one would be willing to come to such a dangerous place to work hard.

The ship sailed in the Tianliu Sea for two months. On this day, the sky suddenly changed. The originally blue and clear sky suddenly became overcast and cloudy. Not far from the southeast of the ship, there was even a faint Joyo's lightning and thunder.

Everyone on the boat was a little surprised, and they sacrificed their spiritual weapons one after another, and flew to the sky to check.

I saw that on the sea not far in front, there had been a huge wave at some point, converging into a huge vortex.Along with the sound of rolling thunder, golden lightning bolts descended directly to the center of the vortex in the sky!

The sky thunders continued continuously, and in the center of the vortex, the black shadow of a huge monster could be vaguely seen, roaring and resisting the violent strikes of these sky thunders.

"Golden Thunder Tribulation, this is an eighth-level monster that is advancing!" a monk muttered to himself.

Unlike human monks, monsters can turn into humans at the seventh level, and every time they advance, they have to experience a thunder disaster.When the seventh-level monster is advanced to the eighth level, the sky thunder is silver, and when it is advanced from the eighth level to the ninth level, the sky thunder will turn into gold.

A ninth-level monster is equivalent to a late-stage monk in the alchemy state of human beings.

Knowing that there were high-level monsters crossing the catastrophe ahead, the sea boat stopped naturally, but did not leave immediately.And the monks on board had different expressions.

"The ninth-level golden thunder calamity, countless high-level monsters died under this thunder calamity, and I don't know if that monster can survive it."

"Hmph, even if you successfully survived the thunder tribulation, that monster must have been seriously injured. With so many people here, can't we still deal with a seriously injured and dying monster?"

"...This is a level nine monster!"

The eyes of many monks showed greed. High-level monsters are full of treasures. In addition to the most precious monster pills, fur, blood, and bones are very rare materials for alchemy.

In normal times, they naturally wouldn't dare to attack high-level monsters.But now that monster has been struck to death by the thunder, this is a good opportunity to come to your door!

And Song Mo didn't say a word from the beginning to the end.

After a hundred years, he sensed Mu Li's breath again.

Song Mo's eyes were gloomy, and he hadn't seen him in just over 100 years. Not only did Mu Li fully recover his cultivation, but he also went directly through the catastrophe and advanced, so there must be another adventure.

While thinking about it, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the sea in the northeast direction, and a ray of light flew towards this direction like a meteor.At the same time, there was also a ray of light flying towards this direction from the southwest.

From a distance, one could feel the coercion coming from the two rays of light.

That is the alchemy cultivator.

The faces of the monks on the boat changed slightly. The two Huandan Masters must have been attracted by the abnormal celestial phenomena above the sea.With their intervention, this is cheap, and I'm afraid it won't be possible.

But leaving like this, but also unwilling.The monks discussed for a while, and decided to stay put and see what happens next.
