Practice begins with a fisherman

Therefore, seeing a person who was separated for more than [-] years but was able to break through the bottleneck between the early foundation establishment period and the foundation establishment period, and was able to advance to the fifth level of the foundation establishment stage, is a great achievement for most foundation establishment monks. It's an amazing leap.

Zhao Shoushou's ability to achieve such excellent results has little to do with his qualifications. Most of them come from the stimulation of potential in life-and-death battles and the supply of sufficient resources obtained from years of wandering in the open sea.

But judging from these uninformed monks, a foundation-building fifth-floor monk with fast practice, good potential, and strong combat effectiveness (returned safely from the open sea) must be worth wooing, especially for a small one like Qingyunmen. The sect spared no effort.

Qingyun Sect occupies a total of three small spirit islands including Qingyun Island, and six miniature spirit islands. This is the current limit. If you want to gain something in this battle for spirit islands, you must have a new foundation building period The appearance of monks.

"But Fellow Daoist Zhao is now? Xiao Ke is Qingyunzi of Qingyunmen. There was a relationship in Qingyun Pavilion 20 years ago. Do you remember?" The monks in the early stage of foundation establishment have already greeted them enthusiastically.

It may be that there is not much life left or that one's own potential has been fully tapped, but the cultivation of the Qingyun Pavilion master has not changed much.

"Fellow Daoists still have the same demeanor. When Mr. Zhao first entered the overseas cultivation world, he completed his first transaction in Qingyun Pavilion. Guige was honest and trustworthy, and never deliberately lowered the price. Naturally, he remembered it." After a little thought, Zhao Shoushou responded. Also very enthusiastic.

In the absence of necessary conflict, wouldn't it be the best way to communicate peacefully while completing some deals?What's more, there is a sect behind the other party as a reliance.

"Zhao Daoyou is the one who is really surprising. He has been wandering in the sea for 20 years and has not returned. It is hard to believe." Qing Yunzi's face was full of admiration when he mentioned this matter.

Chapter 336 Rules of the Spirit Island Battle

Maybe it's because the ignorant people are fearless, or maybe it's because they are dedicated to pursuing the Dao. When Zhao Shoushou first came to the cultivation world in the outer sea, he had almost no understanding of this place except for a few introductions from the jade slips.

He was just doing some simple transactions on the Qingyun Pavilion on Qingyun Island, and he couldn't wait to go to the sea, completely stupefied.

Based on the cultivation base at the early stage of foundation establishment, after 20 years of wandering, he returned smoothly. Not only did he return to the inner sea to prepare to participate in the battle for Lingdao, but he also practiced and broke through to the fifth floor of foundation establishment. Apart from his not-so-weak strength, he is actually quite good Amulet of luck.

In addition to the above reasons, Zhao Shoushou did not hesitate to spend a huge amount of spirit stones and various resources to purchase a large number of treasures for body protection, which was an indispensable reason.

If it wasn't for the four counterfeit talismans purchased at a high price in the Water Raven Strait back then, how could he have escaped from the mouth of the terrifying Water Raven King?

If it were another monk who had been hunting sea beasts in the open sea for 20 years, he would definitely have harvested a large number of precious demon pills or spiritual materials.

On the other hand, Zhao Shoushou had almost used up all the demon pills he had specially collected and the sea beasts he hunted on the way back to the inner sea.

Almost all the spiritual materials of monsters that came from desperate hunting have been replaced with various treasures that can assist in cultivation or combat effectiveness.

This may also be the difference between casual cultivators and some sect cultivators and family cultivators. Apart from their own cultivation, they also need to consider the interests of the sect family. As a casual cultivator, Zhao Shoushou is a typical one. .

"It's all just luck. Mr. Zhao is alone. He has always pursued the policy of fighting if he can beat it, and running if he can't beat it." Zhao Shoushou laughed off 20 years of adventures in a joking manner, which seemed quite Easy.

"Zhao Daoyou returned to the inner sea this time to participate in the battle for the spirit island once every 50 years?" Qing Yunzi, who had white beard and hair and green robes, got straight to the point.

"Fellow Daoist said that Mr. Zhao has long been yearning for the long-known battle for the Spirit Island, which can be called a grand event in the overseas cultivation world, but what are the rules? What are the requirements for the participants? Fellow Daoist may explain Confused?" Zhao Shoushou didn't hide anything, but instead asked a blunt rhetorical question.

Some simple rules for the Battle of Spirit Island are just summed up from various places, and it is quite confusing for the real difference between each session.

The most important point is of course the number and rank of spirit islands provided in each spirit island battle, as well as the number and cultivation level of monks who are ready to participate, which is very important for the smooth selection of the next step.

If Zhao Shoushou, who has been hunting sea beasts all the time in the open sea, asked alone, although he could figure out the reason, it would take a lot of time.

On the contrary, these news must be quite clear to the native Qing Yunmen. Since someone sent him to please him, he probably wouldn't be stingy with a little bit of extra news.

"There are a lot of news about the battle for the spirit island. How about inviting fellow Taoists to Qingyun Pavilion to talk about it?" Qingyunzi is quite proficient in business.

An hour later, outside the Qingyun Pavilion, the satisfied Zhao Shoushou resolutely left. As for Qingyunmen's solicitation, he naturally refused decisively.

Qing Yunzi, who was seeing off at the gate of Qingyun Pavilion, showed no other expression except for a helpless wry smile, which was actually all expected.

Qingyunmen is just a small sect with foundation-building monks who are inconspicuous. Most of the monks who can successfully recruit foundation-building monks are early-stage monks who have exhausted their potential, limited combat power, and have little life left.

How could a monk like Zhao Shoushou, who had a bright future like Zhao Shoushou, take the solicitation of a shabby householder seriously, even promising the title of a so-called independent elder.

"It doesn't cost much, it's just fantastic that a mere second-tier low-grade spirit island wants to trap Mr. Zhao." After leaving, Zhao Shoushou couldn't help but snort.

Qingyunmen wanted to recruit a foundation-building monk with good combat power to sit in the town, but the price they paid was only a second-level low-grade Cuixia Lingdao that had almost no development value and belonged to Qingyunmen.

However, during this trip, I got a lot of news about the battle for Lingdao from Qing Yunzi, and I had a new understanding of this once-in-50-year event, so it was a rewarding trip.

According to the news released by the Overseas Spirit Island Alliance, the battle for the spirit island is divided into two stages: the second-order spirit island for the foundation-building period and the third-order spirit island for the Jindan monks.

There are a total of 120 second-tier spirit islands, including [-] lower-tier second-tier, fifty middle-tier second-tier, and ten upper-tier second-tier spirit islands. To participate in the battle for spirit islands, monks must sign up and compete according to their respective cultivation levels.

The Spirit Island Alliance will arrange battles according to the number of people participating in the battle on each Spirit Island. There is only one rule in the battle, and the final winner will automatically become the next owner of the Spirit Island.

Of course, the monks participating in the Spirit Island Alliance, once they become the owner of the Spirit Island, will naturally become a part of it and need to sign a special statement. Never retreat.

In addition, according to the level and potential of Lingdao, a large amount of Lingshi needs to be handed over to the Lingdao Alliance every ten years as a management fee.

If some dangers are encountered on weekdays, the Spirit Island Alliance will also be obliged to send some monks to provide necessary help and protection, but it is extremely limited.

In short, once you become the owner of Lingdao Island, your autonomy is quite strong. As long as you have not blatantly violated or damaged the rules of the Lingdao Alliance, there are not many restrictions.

As long as the island owner's cultivation improves in the next 50 years and he pays the spirit stones according to the time, he can avoid participating in the next round of battle for the spirit island.

This also means that as long as a family or sect is in a virtuous cycle of development, the control of Lingdao will hardly change. This is unparalleled to Zhao Shoushou's attraction.

"A spiritual island is like a completely independent world, and the owner of the island is the one who controls the power of life and death in this world. Therefore, this battle for the spiritual island must be participated and succeeded." The spirit boat broke through the waves, His target is the large spiritual island Nandi Spirit Island where the battle for the spiritual island is held.

As one of the few large-scale spiritual islands in the Inner Sea, the overlord here is also one of the large sects in the overseas cultivation world, second only to the three super sects occupying super-large spiritual islands. There are two ancestors of the Nascent Soul Stage in the gate. Nandi Gate.

The exercise practiced by Nandimen is the famous scorching sun fire exercise. It collects the essence of the sun every day at noon to refine the body. It is also the inheritor of a rare fire attribute exercise in overseas cultivation circles.

The disciples of this sect only practice one kind of precious art, True Fire Art, which has been passed down in an orderly manner. From the disciples of the Qi Refining Stage to the ancestors of the Nascent Soul Stage, there has never been a single exception, but they are limited by their cultivation bases and display different powers. Just the same.

Chapter 337 The Fiery Nandi Gate and Nandi Spirit Island

According to legend, this treasure technique that leads directly to the Dao was inherited from a great master who was good at fire attribute exercises in ancient times. Nandi Gate was originally just a small sect. It developed out of hand.

In fact, Zhao Shoushou has always been a little doubtful. In the overseas practice world where water and spiritual power are pervasive, wouldn't practicing fire attribute kung fu be twice the effort and half the effort?Why can Nandi Gate do the opposite?

Why has another large spiritual island with fourth-order low-grade spiritual veins never been attacked by other sects or sea beasts?All the mysteries are about to be revealed.

As one of the overlords of the overseas cultivation world, the Nandi Sect's disciples are naturally second to none. Zhao Shoushou also wanted to take this opportunity to compete, to see how far his own strength was compared to the disciples of these famous sects?

There is a special challenge platform set up outside the Nandi Gate. Every day, there are monks sitting in the pre-foundation, middle and late stage respectively to accept challenges from monks of similar strength from all sides.

Each game of Nandimen will provide corresponding spoils. The challenger can get a reward if he wins, and the disciple of Nandimen who is challenged wins.

The elders of Nandi Gate have always supported this suspicious activity of honing their disciples' actual combat skills. If they can win five games in a row, they will get a valuable spoil.

Winning ten games in a row among the same level, in addition to some necessary rewards, you can choose to join it and become a formal entry disciple of Nandimen.

Every year, there are always some talented and powerful monks who become members of the Nandi Sect through this method. In recent years, it has also evolved into an indispensable channel for the sect to accept new disciples.

Of course, Zhao Shoushou also has a clear understanding of his own combat power, and he may be able to win a battle with a solid foundation once among his peers.

If he wanted to show his prestige in the challenge field, winning several games in a row was an unattainable luxury, and his goal was just to check the extent of his own strength.

The distance from Qingyun Island to Nandiling Island is as long as [-] nautical miles, even if the sea lanes are smooth, it still takes a month.

As the distance from Nandi Lingdao got closer, Zhao Shoushou felt that the surrounding temperature was constantly rising, and the temperature of the sea surface was also rising accordingly.

This is quite rare in the overseas cultivation world dominated by the sea, and it is indeed a wonder to be able to affect the temperature of a sea area.

"Could it be that the Southern Emperor Spirit Island is really a fire spirit island? There are magma and fire veins everywhere on it?" Zhao Shoushou couldn't help but said that he had always been skeptical about this point recorded in the jade slip.

The incompatibility of water and fire is an iron law. It can only exist when the power of fire completely defeats water. If you want to change the temperature of a sea area, you need a lot of energy.

In the world where the sea is almost everywhere in the overseas cultivation world, even a large spiritual island is just a small rock protruding from the water compared to the boundless sea.

What kind of power is here that can change the mighty power of heaven and earth?Originally, Zhao Shoushou didn't dare to believe this a little bit. When he felt the temperature in the vicinity rose significantly, he just changed his thoughts and ideas a little bit.

"Every time I come to Nandi Lingdao, I will sigh for the wonders here"

"Nandi Lingdao can safely survive the sea beast's counterattack every time, and the magma here is also a big help."

"Only these lunatics who practice the fire attribute can survive here. If it weren't for the battle for the spirit island to be held here, I wouldn't want to come here."

As the distance continued to approach, the number of monks coming and going continued to increase, and the noisy discussions among the monks continued one after another, most of which were out of disgust for the fiery environment here.

Because the attributes are incompatible and most of the overseas cultivation circles are quite comfortable, most monks find it difficult to adapt to this completely unfamiliar environment once they enter this completely unfamiliar environment.

There is some discomfort in the environment, but it doesn't have much impact on the combat effectiveness. This is why the Spirit Island Alliance is willing to hold the 50-year grand event here.

For Zhao Shoushou, who came from the mainland's comprehension world, this little difference in environment had almost no effect on him, and he quickly adjusted his mentality to get used to it.

Compared with the vast and arid and barren desert between Anzhou and Xianzhou, this little difference in temperature will not have any impact on his combat effectiveness.

Originally, because of the existence of magma, there were not many monks coming and going on this large spiritual island. Except for some necessary special product transactions, most of them were disciples of Nandi Gate and a few monks who practiced fire-attribute skills. live here.

Also benefiting from the grand meeting held every 50 years in the overseas cultivation world, countless monks came here from all directions, preparing to show their skills and seize a spiritual island.

There are also many small sects and families who have vowed to gain something in this spirit island battle after having new foundation-building monks.

The Spirit Island Alliance also has strict requirements for small sect families. Only when there are at least two foundation-building monks in the sect and their inheritance is stable can they be eligible to participate in the battle for Spirit Island.

The number of small spiritual islands owned by each small sect and family can only be the same as that of the foundation-building monks in the sect. For example, there are only three foundation-building monks in Qingyunmen, and they can only have three small spiritual islands and some attached miniature spiritual islands.

Therefore, when Zhao Shoushou landed on the Southern Emperor Spirit Island, a large number of small sects and family monks had already swarmed up and surrounded it in an attempt to reach a deal.

Their only purpose is to temporarily hire a foundation-building monk at a different price to become the family's guest minister, so as to have a reason to participate in the battle for Lingdao.

Of course, there are also some mixed in it. As the strength weakens and is unable to occupy more spirit islands, some monks in the foundation stage are temporarily hired to deal with the inspection of the spirit island alliance. Naturally, some large sects are not included in this list. Not interested.

Every time before the battle for Spirit Island officially starts, there are always some relatively weak foundation-building casual cultivators who make a lot of money in this way, enough to last for several years of cultivation.

Zhao Shoushou, who was aiming to seize a spiritual island, would naturally not be tempted by these so-called petty profits, and saw that he had already strode away, walking like a luxuriously decorated hall.

This is the registration place for the battle for the Spirit Island. Zhao Shoushou is going to save his life as soon as possible. In addition, he has a general understanding of the Spirit Island participating in the battle in advance.

A total of 120 second-tier spirit islands participated in this spirit island battle, and there were fifty second-tier mid-tier spirit islands. All of the spirit islands had different environments, degrees of development, and spiritual ore resources.

It is not easy to find a spiritual island that suits you best, not to mention that there are obvious differences in the number of monks participating in the competition for different spiritual islands.

Chapter 338 Gourd Spirit Island and Songzhu Spirit Island

Within the same level, the quality and value of spirit islands are also obviously different. For example, a small spirit island of the second-level mid-level has a second-level mid-low level spirit vein, and the other has no mine veins and can only open up some spirit fields and land. There is a clear difference in the output of the Spiritual Medicine Garden between the two.

Another important point is the difference between the spiritual veins. Some spiritual veins have been cultivated to reach the peak of the second-order middle-grade spiritual veins, and some over-developed and barely maintain the second-level middle-grade spiritual veins. Quantities are also significantly different.

Most of the spiritual islands in the overseas practice world are mainly based on water attributes, but there are certain differences according to the geographical location, the most obvious example is some islands near the Nandi Spirit Island.

Cultivators need to consume all kinds of spiritual materials and treasures, among which sea beasts are also a very important resource. The groups of sea beasts living around the spirit island are different, and there are certain gaps.

In short, the factors that can affect the value of a spiritual island are comprehensive and multifaceted. Of course, this is also different from person to person. Perhaps a spiritual island is not of great value to a monk, but it is a must for another monk. The situation is quite varied.

In this rather luxuriously built registration hall for the battle for spirit islands, a map showing the basic situation of each spirit island hangs in the most conspicuous position.

Most of the small and higher spirit islands covering the Inner Sea are gray, indicating that these are not within the scope of the battle for the spirit islands.

Only some yellow islands belong to the spiritual islands participating in the competition. Compared with the grand map, the number is really pitifully small.

For these spirit islands that belong to the scope of this competition, there is a simple introduction on the map, and many monks who are eager to fight can use this to choose the corresponding target.

"Tsk tsk tsk, I don't know if I don't look at it. I was shocked when I saw it. Mr. Zhao only knows the vastness of the overseas cultivation world, but he has never had a clear concept. Today is really an eye-opener." Looking at the densely packed spiritual island on the map, Zhao Shoushou took a deep breath.

What's more, what is shown here is only the inner sea. Compared with this, the area of ​​the outer sea is wider. The strength of the overseas cultivation world can also be reflected from these spiritual islands.

Every small spiritual island has at least one Foundation Establishment cultivator sitting in command, every medium-sized spiritual island has at least one Jindan stage ancestor sitting on it, and every large spiritual island has at least one Nascent Soul stage great supernatural power. Suppression, and so on, some extra-large spiritual islands are even more powerful.

Zhao Shoushou even felt that the strength of these overseas monks who survived on the sea must have surpassed the cultivation world in the mainland. If they invaded the inland one day, it would be a catastrophe.

Of course, these will not appear in a short period of time, and even if they appear, it has nothing to do with him. After all, he is gearing up to show off his skills and snatch one of the spirit islands.

In fact, this is also the reason why many monks like Zhao Shoushou risked their lives to come here in the overseas cultivation world. After all, all kinds of spiritual vein resources in the mainland cultivation world have almost been divided up at this time.

For many casual cultivators, the hope of obtaining a certain spiritual mountain with second-level middle and lower-level spiritual veins in their lifetime is quite slim, unless they join a sect or family.

Although the overseas cultivation world is full of dangers, they can participate in the spirit island battle openly and aboveboard. Even if they fail, they can also seize a spirit island in the open sea, as long as they can resist the sea beast's counterattack.

Although most of them ended in failure, even if there are only a few successful monks, they will continue to attract more casual cultivators from the mainland's cultivation world.

The entire overseas cultivation world is also happy to see this scene. Constrained by the environment here, if there is no blood transfusion from the mainland, I am afraid that it has already fallen into the mouth of the sea beast.

If it is traced back to the original source, almost all the monks in the overseas cultivation world come from the mainland cultivation world. It is just that generations of monks risked their lives to snatch food from sea beasts and gradually formed the current scale.

The above-mentioned thoughts just flashed in his mind, and they hardly had much influence on Zhao Shoushou. We saw him staring intently at the map, and it was clear that his goal was to choose a suitable spiritual island among them.

"Swordfish Lingdao, a low-grade second-grade swordfish, has 120 mu of mature spiritual fields developed on it, including 45 mu of low-grade first-grade, 35 mu of middle-grade first-grade, 80 mu of high-grade first-grade, and [-] mu of low-grade second-grade; There is a second-tier low-grade elixir garden, and three miniature spiritual islands attached to it, and the surrounding area is dominated by second-tier low-grade swordfish and sea beasts."

"Second-level low-grade yellow sand spirit island, the entire spiritual island is almost covered with yellow sand, it is not suitable for opening up spiritual fields or elixir gardens, but the second-level low-grade yellow sand Ganoderma lucidum was bred in the yellow sand everywhere, and has A second-level low-grade yellow sand iron spirit mine, with four subsidiary miniature spirit islands"

"Second-level middle-grade pine and bamboo spirit island, this spiritual island is born with a large number of pine and bamboo groups, of which the first-level middle-high grade is the main one, and the core part is the second-level low-grade. Every 20 years, pine and bamboo spirit fruits can be produced. It can be used as a spiritual fruit. It can also be cultivated as a spiritual plant, and there is also a 120-year-old elixir garden with six miniature spiritual islands."

"Second-grade middle-grade gourd spirit island, on which 48 acres of characteristic gourd spirit fields have been developed, first-grade top-grade twelve acres, second-grade low-grade six acres, second-grade middle-grade two acres, a total of [-] first-grade high-grade gourd seedlings Eighteen gourd seedlings of the second-rank low-grade, four middle-grade gourd seedlings of the second-rank, and six subsidiary spirit islands."

The introduction about HLD is quite simple, but when Zhao Shoushou saw it, his eyes lit up. The spirit gourd has always been a special kind of spiritual material or treasure.

It is born with a spiritual power, and once it matures, it only needs to be cultivated with the mana in the dantian to become a qualified spiritual weapon. The spiritual power in the gourd is also very helpful to monks.

With the prolongation of the incubation time, this spiritual power is constantly expanding, and it can provide a helping hand for the promotion of the master's cultivation level at critical moments.

Of course, this is also limited. The second-level low-grade spirit gourd is only useful for monks in the early stage of foundation establishment, and the second-level mid-level spirit gourd is useful for monks in the middle stage of foundation establishment.
