Practice begins with a fisherman

Moreover, different spirit gourds display different powers in battle. In short, every mature spirit gourd can be called a rare treasure.

"Second-grade top-grade Golden Turtle Spirit Island, with 200 acres of mature second-grade spiritual fields, a second-grade upper, middle and lower-grade elixir garden each over 12 years old, a small second-grade mid-grade jade soil tin mine, near Lingdao There are a large number of golden turtles, and there are [-] subsidiary miniature spirit islands.”

The conditions possessed by the ten second-tier high-grade spirit islands are obviously superior, and the value of both the resources and the sea beast population is quite high.

It's a pity that due to his cultivation base, he didn't have the opportunity to participate in the competition for these second-order top-grade spirit islands. The only hard condition, the cultivation base in the late foundation establishment period, has firmly blocked most monks from the door.

Chapter 339 The Fierce and Cruel Battle for Spirit Island in the Past

The Qi-refining stage monks who have stepped into the road of cultivation are like crucian carp crossing the river. There are a large number of monks.

Only after each cultivator has successfully advanced to build a foundation can he truly become a part of the cultivation world and become the backbone of the cultivation world.

More than half of the rapidly decreasing number of foundation-building monks will stay in the early foundation-building stage all their lives. After hard work, a few lucky ones can be promoted to the middle stage of foundation-building and their strength has greatly increased. Since then, they have become the best monks of the same level. Some places can even become the ancestors and become a small overlord.

The bottleneck between the middle stage of foundation establishment and the late stage of foundation establishment is quite strong, and the strengths of the two sides are also far apart. It is this bottleneck that has turned into a roadblock that makes many monks want to stop.

It is also because of its existence that many monks can only look at it and sigh, and there are very few monks who have successfully advanced to the late foundation establishment stage.

Most of the monks in the late stage of Foundation Establishment focus their energy on searching for some treasures that are conducive to the condensation of Jinda, and under normal circumstances they will not easily leave the level.

However, the Battle for Spirit Island once every 50 years is obviously qualified, and it will even cause some old monsters that haven't shown up for many years to appear.

Although these people have not condensed the golden core, they are already the pinnacle of the nine-level foundation building, and they have been immersed for more than 20 years, and their combat effectiveness far exceeds that of monks of the same level.

They are the powerful contenders for these second-tier high-grade spirit islands, and their ultimate goals are also different, either to find a spirit island to live in, or to create a good environment for future generations, etc. .

To sum up, even some late-stage foundation-establishment monks are not very sure of winning the battle for a few dozen second-tier high-grade spirit islands.

Therefore, some late-stage foundation-building monks whose cultivation has not yet reached the peak level prefer to choose the second-level mid-level spirit islands with the best conditions as their targets.

"The top ten of the second-tier mid-level spirit islands are all ready to be contested by monks in the late stage of foundation establishment. Fortunately, the gourd spirit island is not among them." After observing for a while, Zhao Shoushou couldn't help but sigh.

In the eyes of many monks, this famous spirit island is actually divided into two extremes. For monks who need spirit gourds, it can be regarded as a treasure land that can be seized quickly.

On the contrary, for the monks in the late stage of foundation establishment, it is quite tasteless. The highest second-level middle-grade spirit gourd is not very helpful to them, unless there are some monks whose cultivation base can no longer be improved, and they are dedicated to fighting for the spirit island for the younger generations. Only then will it be put in the eyes.

On the contrary, another Songzhu Spirit Island became a hot spot among monks for a while because of its cultivation value, coupled with the fact that the spirit veins were already at the peak of the second-order middle-grade and the hundred-year-old medicine garden was completed.

"Comparatively speaking, this gourd spirit island is more suitable for Mr. Zhao, so let's just leave it at that." After struggling for a quarter of an hour, Zhao Shoushou finally made his final decision.

Another function of this nuoda map is to clearly indicate the number of people and cultivation levels that have signed up for each spiritual island. Up to now, there are six monks registered for Hululing Island, all of whom are in the middle stage of foundation establishment.

There are already two late-stage foundation-establishment monks on Songzhu Lingdao, and nine mid-stage foundation-establishment monks will compete. As time goes by, more monks will definitely sign up to participate.

"The registration fee for the second-tier middle-grade spirit island battle is ten middle-grade spirit stones. Ten days later, the battle will officially start. Go to the lottery according to the number plate. The winner of the one-on-one battle will be the next island owner." It was a late-stage foundation-building monk from Nandi Gate, who briefly introduced the rules and then signaled that he could leave.

Holding a pitch-black wood chip in his hand, the number seven is engraved on it, and a gourd vine is on the back, which also means that he is the No. 7 monk who participated in the HLD battle.

However, Zhao Shoushou did not leave. Instead, he turned around and continued to approach the map, preparing to learn more about the three third-tier low-grade spirit islands that appeared this time.

The original owners of these spirit islands were at least sects or families with golden core monks sitting in town, but they fell for unknown reasons in the past 50 years, and no new golden core monks appeared, and eventually became a battle for spirit islands one of the

As for the monks who thrive on it, according to the rules of the Spirit Island Alliance, there are generally two choices. One is to submit to the new island owner; Spirit Island, this kind does not need to participate in the battle for Spirit Island.

Of course, most monks would choose the latter. After all, no one can be sure about the habits and hobbies of the new island owner.

The area of ​​the three third-tier low-grade spirit islands has reached the size of medium-sized spirit islands, and they have at least one second-tier high-grade spirit vein, and they have opened up elixir gardens for more than 250 years.

There are five attached small spirit islands, and about twenty miniature spirit islands. It can be said that each third-order spirit island represents a complete community and foundation.

The monks participating in the competition for the third-order spirit island are mainly casual cultivators, with some small families or sects that have newly promoted Jindan stage monks in the middle.

No matter how greedy he is, these spirit islands are not qualified for him to get his hands on. If he successfully condenses the golden core in the future and has a magic weapon to protect him, he can fight in the end.

"Rather than aim too high, it's better to think about the countermeasures in the next battle." Zhao Shoushou muttered to himself, and a thoughtful look appeared on his face.

According to the information obtained from Qing Yun Sect, the only rule in each battle for Lingdao is that treasures beyond the range of strength cannot be controlled.

For example, after a monk in the Foundation Establishment Stage was authorized, he used a magic weapon within a short period of time, or a treasure that was clearly created by the Golden Core Stage, and even the talisman was also within the forbidden range.

But other than that, there are no restrictions. On each competition arena, the two monks can make any moves before they surrender and admit defeat.

This includes beheading monks before expressing surrender is also within the scope of the rules, and the victor even maliciously obtains the opponent's storage bag.

This also led to every battle for the spirit island, except for some monks who were really similar in strength and could not do anything to each other, the casualty rate among the monks was still quite high.

Of course, this is only limited to the fight for the second-order spirit island by the monks in the foundation establishment period. On the contrary, the ancestors of the Jindan period who competed for the third-order spirit island, because there are many taboos, appear more civilized and rarely have bloodshed.

This is why Zhao Shoushou has been trying his best to avoid competing for the same spiritual island with the monks in the late foundation establishment period. Many monks with ulterior motives even use this as a means of making a fortune, which is extremely hateful.

He even suspected that the so-called battle for the Spirit Island was an unbreakable conspiracy by some powerful and large sects in the overseas cultivation world, and the main purpose was also to weaken the strength of casual cultivators.

Chapter 340 Preparations before the Battle of Spirit Island

Of course, no matter what is the real purpose of holding the battle for Lingdao once every 50 years in the overseas practice circle?Regardless of conspiracy or conspiracy, in short, Zhao Shoushou must participate.

It can be said that he has suffered a lot in the world of self-cultivation as a casual cultivator. At the beginning, he made great efforts to transform the desert oasis because he wanted a stable environment. Unfortunately, the world is changing too fast and the plan cannot keep up with the changes.

But no matter from which point of view, the value of a second-tier mid-level spiritual island in the overseas cultivation world is obviously a hundred times higher than the original desert oasis painstakingly managed, and it will also have many benefits for improving his current situation of no fixed place. This was really hard for him to refuse.

For this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Zhao Shoushou must not only participate, but also win, behead all his opponents, become the final winner, and become the controller of the second-tier middle-grade Gourd Spirit Island. This point cannot be refused .

He is naturally confident in his own strength, but no one can be sure what kind of powerful opponent he will encounter in the next battle, so he must use the remaining time to exhaust all means to increase his combat effectiveness.

In case of encountering a powerful enemy second to none in future battles, at least you need to ensure your own safety, and you must not fall into the arena of competition.

What's more, the supply of all resources on Nandi Lingdao is relatively sufficient at this time. Whether it is Nandi Gate or some merchants who came here not far away tens of thousands of nautical miles, they will provide some powerful treasures, provided that It needs to cost a lot of spirit stones or equivalent treasures to trade.

There is a proverb in the mortal world: traveling thousands of miles to become an official is only for money. In fact, the same is true in the cultivation world. These businessmen are chasing various business opportunities everywhere, but in the end they are just to earn some white-spangled spirit stones.

In fact, in the realm of comprehension, monks who specialize in earning spirit stones as merchants are also facing considerable dangers. Whether they are running around, doing everything possible to acquire some resources, or trying their best to find suitable opportunities to sell goods to earn spirit stones, There is no small risk.

Once they fall into the eyes of some caring people, they will also encounter some half-way robbery and other incidents. Therefore, every businessman who has made a good reputation in the cultivation world is actually based on a lot of strength.

"Fuzhuan, Fuzhuan, the exclusive spirit talisman has not wavered for 300 years, please don't miss it, fellow Taoists"

"Do you want to defeat your opponent heartily in the battle for Lingdao? Do you want to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai in the stormy attack of your opponent? Everyone, please come in and have a look. Ponzi's refining shop has been focusing on refining for 500 years Will not disappoint you"

"One-time spirit beasts, one-time spirit beasts, each one only needs 100 yuan of middle-grade spirit stones, please donate generously to fellow daoists"

"No matter how severe the damage and injury, no matter what kind of abuse and bullying, as long as there is still a breath left in the body, these panacea specially designed to treat injuries can save a life at a critical moment."

The Nandi Lingdao way is bustling like never before. Some empty shops have been sold out a few months ago, and even the locations that were originally used as casual repair stalls are all rented out at high prices.

The battle for Lingdao has not yet officially started, and the Nandi Gate has already made a lot of money in this matter alone. This is also the main reason why every battle is held by various sects.

Of course, in addition to this, it also has a considerable effect on the spread of the sect's reputation. The disciples of the Nandimen are also fully armed, patrolling continuously with serious expressions, and if any accidents occur, they will immediately suppress them forcefully.

The leader of each team of patrolling monks must be a late-stage foundation-establishment monk, and there are two pre-mid-stage foundation-establishment monks as assistants, and the remaining dozen or so people are mainly late-stage Qi refining.

Every ten teams of patrolling monks form a brigade, which is in charge of the Jindanqi Patriarch. Such a tyrannical strength alone is enough to suppress all the monks present.

Therefore, it seemed that there were many people and bustling in this square city, but the monks present strictly followed the rules of Nandimen to prevent being suppressed as those who broke the rules.

This is not a joke. An hour ago, two monks at the Foundation Establishment Stage fought for some unknown reason in the square city. In less than a cup of tea, they had already turned into flesh under the palm of the Jindan Patriarch.

The cultivators are naturally unwilling to suffer such an extremely aggrieved way of falling, so they can only strictly enforce various rules and wait for the start of the battle for the spirit island.

Of course, Zhao Shoushou was also included, and he even praised the short-term, orderly, and fair environment formed under the suppression of absolute strength. Nandimen, one of the overlords in the overseas cultivation world, undoubtedly has such strength.

After getting used to the intrigues and hunting each other in the open sea, he still likes this kind of environment where he can feel at ease, and it also allows the monks to maintain a peak combat effectiveness before the battle for Spirit Island.

Because the monks participating in this battle are mainly monks in the foundation period, the various resources provided by the merchants who came here are naturally mainly second-order spiritual objects.

It was an eye-opener for him along the way, and various treasures with different characteristics emerged one after another, but unfortunately most of the effects were limited.

And some treasures with good effects, due to various restrictions, it is difficult to quickly burst out their due strength in a small arena in a short period of time.

To sum up, Zhao Shoushou didn't have too many choices. After repeated comparisons, the fake talisman should be the most suitable one. Unfortunately, after repeated inquiries for some reason, there was no trace of it.

This kind of situation made him a little puzzled for a while. I wonder if it was due to the restrictions of the battle for the spirit island or other reasons?

"Mr. Zhao can only settle for the next best thing today and choose some suitable talismans. I hope he can perform well." Zhao Shoushou said helplessly.

He has another idea about the talisman. As the only treasure land in the overseas cultivation world that has the nickname of magma spirit island, the Nandi Lingdao is undoubtedly rich in spiritual power.

In addition, this is where the Nandimen, the largest fire-attributed sect in the overseas cultivation world, is located, and the supply of fire-attributed talismans, which are quite rare on weekdays, is quite sufficient.

In addition, according to the habit of many monks, they will definitely prepare various talismans for battle in advance. According to guessing, they must be mainly water attributes.

There was nothing wrong with this originally, but the suppression in the environment of Nandi Lingdao is a natural suppression. With the combination of the two phases, the fire attribute magic talisman can of course explode with stronger power.

Zhao Shoushou's target is naturally some big shops affiliated to Nandi Gate. Although the price will be slightly more expensive, they can guarantee excellent quality and power among the same level.

This point may not make much difference on weekdays, but it must not be ignored in the battle for Lingdao.

Chapter 341 Battle for Spirit Island - Lottery

In the struggle of monks of the same level and strength, the difference between a line of fire is a world of difference. It is very likely to determine the outcome of a battle, affect the ownership of a spirit island, and even the life and death of a monk.

Details determine success or failure, quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes. Only by making complete preparations for every point can Zhao Shoushou be able to win a hearty victory in the upcoming battle for Lingdao.

After paying a lot of money to buy some powerful second-tier middle-grade fire-attribute charms, Zhao Shoushou's eyes have turned to new things, the so-called one-time spirit beasts.

The essence of these so-called one-time spirit beasts is nothing more than some special operations for some spirit beasts with poor qualifications. Among them, there are mainly various types that are clumsy, dull, have little development potential, and have rough skin and thick flesh.

These spirit beasts have been cultivated with special spirit materials since they were young, covered with fur every few years, and carved with various complex spirit patterns. Once they reach adulthood, the explosive treasures accumulated over the years reach a critical point.

A monk only needs to use a life card as a means of control, and sacrifice it at the right time. This seemingly normal spirit beast will explode and exert all its power at once.

Its power is even equivalent to the self-explosion of a spiritual weapon, which is definitely not to be underestimated. If it accidentally falls into the range of the explosion, even a monk in the middle and late stages of foundation establishment will suffer serious trauma.

However, since this sinister spirit beast has appeared aboveboard in Fangshi, the monks participating in the battle for the spirit island must be a little vigilant.

If you want to exert unexpected combat power or results, the possibility is not too great, and the effect may only be used to disturb the enemy.

The value of this novel spirit beast is not too high, and its future development potential is quite limited. It's just that these spirit beasts cultivated since childhood can only unleash the most splendid blow at the end of their lives.

Another advantage of these one-time spirit beasts for Zhao Shoushou is that they can hide two cormorants, and there is no restriction on the driving of spirit beasts in the battle for the spirit island.

"Spiritual stones are like flowing water, and the demon pills are exhausted. If Zhao cannot control a spiritual island, he will really lose money. He can only continue to hunt monsters in the open sea to survive." Half a day later, he touched the empty storage bag at his waist, Looking at the bustling crowd, Zhao Shoushou couldn't help sighing.

Of course, after spending a huge amount of spirit stones, of course, there is something to gain, not to mention more than thirty second-level middle-grade fire attribute charms, and two stupid, naturally dull but ferocious-looking second-level low-grade wild boars.

On the surface, the two wild boar spirit beasts don't look too special, but whenever they get close, a special pungent smell comes immediately.

These spirit beasts have grown by devouring a large amount of special spiritual materials since they were young, and the lower ranks of the second level are just promoted by special means, but they have no strength and no cultivation base.

In addition to the above two treasures, some array flags with simple layout and quick response can also be used in the same way. In addition, there are some treasures that can provide protection or attack in a short period of time.

Some panaceas specially used for healing are also essential, after all, no one can guarantee that no one will suffer any damage in the upcoming battle.

Also thanks to the battle for the Spirit Island, the Healing Island, which was not considered popular on weekdays, suddenly saw a surge in value, and the demand exceeded the supply.

Even though Zhao Shoushou exhausted all means, in the end he could barely rely on a one-time large transaction volume as a means to buy one or two at high prices from the shops in Nandi Gate.

Other than that, he has been wholeheartedly cultivating in the temporary cave he hired, keeping his ears to the outside world, focusing on maintaining his peak state, striving to display his strength beyond normal in the upcoming battle for Spirit Island.

The time of ten days is just a flash for many foundation-building monks, and they don't even notice it when they are focused on cultivation.

"Dangdangdang" Suddenly one day when the sun was shining at noon, the bells resounded through the entire Lingdao clearly, which also meant the official opening of the battle for Lingdao.

This copper bell is also unusual. It is a third-tier middle-grade rare treasure belonging to the Spirit Island Alliance. However, it does not have the usual attack function against the enemy. Its main function is to refresh the mind. There are also certain benefits.

The monks will not have any counterattack when they wake up from the practice when they hear the bell, and it is also a sign of the opening of every battle for the spirit island.

As the bell rang, many monks who were adjusting their breathing rushed out, and walked to the streets of Nandimen Lingdao, heading towards the direction of drawing the spiritual lottery.

There are a total of 120 second-tier spirit islands as targets in this spirit island battle. Each spirit island has at least three or five monks participating in the battle, and as many as twenty people. According to the rules of the spirit island alliance, there are only ten arenas at a time. Make a game.

The sorting of each spirit island is carried out from low to high grade, and the spirit islands of the same grade are ranked according to the comprehensive ranking of all aspects.

However, before starting, it is necessary to confirm the order of the first round of battles in each spirit island by drawing a spirit lottery. The spirit lottery is also a treasure specially developed by the Spirit Island Alliance for the 50-year battle for the spirit island.

A spiritual box is made of materials that are specially isolated from consciousness and mana, and the spiritual stick is equivalent to a small flying spiritual weapon. It only needs to consume a little spiritual power to maintain high-speed operation in the spiritual box.

There is no possibility of cheating at all when the monk's arms go deep into it. Once he grabs one of them, he will be pushed out of the spiritual box by the reaction force from the spiritual box.

Under the strict layer upon layer of defense, no matter whether it is the cultivator who participated in drawing the spiritual lottery or the cultivator in charge of monitoring, there is basically no room for any private operation.

According to the rules of the Spirit Island Alliance, once a monk is found to be cheating, he will be immediately disqualified from participating in the Spirit Island battle, and will be banned from participating in the next three sessions. An unbearable price.

Therefore, from this point of view alone, a relative balance can be basically maintained, which is also the main reason why many monks are willing to risk their lives to participate.

A total of twenty spiritual boxes were drawn at the same time, and within half an hour, it was already the turn of Gourd Spirit Island. There were eleven monks lined up neatly, and Zhao Shoushou was in the sixth place in the middle.

According to the comprehensive situation of Hululing Island, the eleven monks are also expected. According to the rules of two-two battles, one of the lucky ones can directly advance in the first round with a bye.

"The drawing of the spirit lottery on the Gourd Lingdao has officially started. All monks, please prepare to draw lots." The disciple of the Nandi Sect who was in charge of monitoring shouted loudly, and a surge of spiritual power poured into it under the eyes of everyone, and with a strange noise, the spirit box was officially activated.

"Hulu Lingdao competes for eleven monks, eleven spirit lottery, and the first round of qualifying draw begins."
