Practice begins with a fisherman

Among them, the Moon Breaking Shovel, which was the first to attack, landed firmly and accurately in the dark cloud hidden by the Skeleton Banshee. This seemingly solid cloud was instantly cut in two, and with a miserable and sharp cry, a burst of blood spewed out.

Under the bite of a large number of sea wolves, the ghosts who were fierce in front of many monks in the refining period immediately turned into pieces of Yin Qi and dissipated between the heaven and the earth. After losing their numerical advantage, these ghosts can hardly be said to be Powerless.

These ghosts must have suffered a lot of cruel torture during the refining process. Some ghosts that still retained a little sanity not only showed no resentment at the beginning of dissipating, but bowed to him from a distance.

At this time, a sliver of golden light would break through the air, enter Zhao Shoushou's body from his forehead, go through a big circle along the body, and then steadily fall in the dantian to form special halos.

For a while, he will not understand the mystery, but he can clearly perceive the effect of calmness contained in it, which helps him to exert stronger strength.

"Damn monk, even if you kill this slave here today, someone will surely avenge you in the future. This slave is waiting for you on the road to the Underworld." Half male voice, half female voice, the originally pretty and enchanting face turned ferocious.

Whenever a ghost dissipates, the Skeleton Banshee, whose fame spreads all over the world of comprehension overseas, will fall into inexplicable pain. Obviously, there are certain flaws in the skills she has practiced and inherited.

And in this process, it is also becoming more and more ugly. Its originally slender and enchanting figure first becomes bloated, and when the number of dead ghosts reaches a certain number, it begins to gradually become rotten, and a stench of stench is in the air. Spread around.

Cultivating these incomplete ghost cultivation skills, relying only on some strange arts that seem to be more lethal, may be able to be fierce in the same level, once the enemy finds the weakness in it, everything seems to be a matter of course.

This skeleton demon girl, the owner of the White Bones Skull Island, who was promiscuous and violent in the cultivation world in the outer seas, finally fell under the backlash of her skills.

"If some well-known monks find that the forbidden body that they are thinking about turns out to be like this, they will definitely thank Mr. Zhao sincerely." Looking at the skeleton demon girl who has turned into a stinky thick water under the backlash of the ghost, a strange thought came to her. rise up in the mind.

This androgynous skeleton demon girl is very famous in the cultivation world, and many foundation cultivators are proud to be her guest of honor.

It is even rumored that some Jindan stage monks with special hobbies would visit the bone and skeleton spirit island in the middle of the night. Otherwise, how could a mere ghost cultivator in the early stage of foundation establishment be able to enjoy himself in the cultivation world for many years?

"Jing Yanfang, acting head of the Jing family, and all the monks thank the island owner for saving his life."

"Thank you, senior, for taking the timely action to save us from danger"

"Senior's life-saving grace today, I will remember it in my heart, and in the future, whenever the Calabash Spirit Island is called, I will definitely help with all my strength."

Many Qi-refinement period monks present expressed their gratitude one after another. Although I don't know how sincere they are, at least some basic gratitude is not a problem.

"Don't be polite, everyone. Mr. Zhao has been added as the owner of Hululing Island. It is the responsibility and obligation of the Spirit Island Alliance to protect the safety of fellow Taoists. As long as someone sits here for a day, no evil spirits and heretics will be allowed here. Play wild, otherwise the skeleton witch is the best role model," Zhao Shoushou said impassionedly as he floated in mid-air, looking like a fairy.

In fact, not only did he not have the slightest resentment towards the skeleton demon girl in his heart at this time, on the contrary, he had a lot of gratitude. If she hadn't taken the initiative to send it to his door, how could he have such a right opportunity to stand up without any future troubles?

"Senior Zhao Gaoyi, with seniors sitting here, Hululing Island will definitely be more prosperous. In the future, if you need something, you will definitely come here to buy it."

"You can report today's grand occasion to the family, but you can rent a shop here to operate."

"I wonder if Senior Zhao will recruit monks from outside?"

After he left, the discussion among the monks present not only did not stop, but became more heated. It's just that monks with different identities paid attention to different directions.

After today's World War I, the identity of being the owner of Hululing Island will definitely be recognized by the monks in the shortest time, and even a better development can be made on the original basis.

Since the Jing family has been in town for many years, the development here has been carried out in an orderly manner. Besides gourd seedlings, Fangshi is also famous for its high quality and low price, and complete resources. There are also many monks who come and go here every day.

Because of the existence of this square city, the Jing family can develop smoothly. In just a hundred years, it has developed into a thriving practice family with two foundation-building monks and more than a hundred Qi-refining monks. After a hundred years, it is very likely that a Golden Core stage monk will be born.

Of course, all of this can only become a distant dream for the surviving foundation-building monks of the Jing family. Now the island owner's mansion that originally belonged to them has become the home of another foundation-building monk.

"Jing Yanfang brought the Jing family to meet the island owner." A charming female Xiu Xiu was actually the acting head of the family, and her cultivation was at the peak level of the tenth level of Qi training.

Among the monks in the Qi refining period, he can be regarded as a good player. It is more than enough to lead a family to guard a miniature spiritual island for self-protection.

According to the rules of the Spirit Island Alliance, if you insist on leaving, you should set aside one of the six attached miniature spirit islands as a new family residence.

However, judging from the performance of the Jing family today, it is obvious that they are unwilling to be sent to a miniature spiritual island with first-level spiritual veins and lack of resources to fend for itself.

"After the battle for the spirit island, Mr. Zhao lived as the owner of Hululing Island. I don't know what your family's plan is? If you want to leave, you can choose one of the six miniature spirit islands as your new family residence. Just pay the due share of spirit stones," Zhao Shoushou asked straight to the point.

It seemed that he didn't have much interest in the choice of the Jing family, and even wanted to drive them away, which caused a trace of sweat to appear on the forehead of the female cultivator below.

Chapter 352 The Meeting Ceremony of the Jing Family

According to the news that Jing Yanfang, the current female head of the Jing family, has inquired from many sources, the upcoming owner of Hululing Island is a casual cultivator who has been hunting all kinds of monsters in the open sea to earn training. resource.

It is also because of fighting with sea beasts for several years that he can hone his combat power to the peak level among his ranks, and he has the opportunity to win the throne of the island owner of Hululing Island after many fights.

As soon as Jing Yanfang appeared, she immediately forcibly killed the famous skeleton demon girl with a thunderbolt, and she was not afraid of revenge from other monks at all, which further confirmed this point.

However, running a spirit island and hunting sea beasts are two completely different aspects. No matter how smart, decisive, intelligent, and powerful the fighter is, it cannot be done by only one person.

Through the previous series of performances of the Jing family in maintaining Lingdao, the new island owner who took office alone should try his best to win him over.

No matter from which point of view, the Jing family is much better than recruiting some random cultivators who don't know their origins. All the methods that were originally prepared seem to have lost their due effect at this time.

"The Jing family is willing to serve the island owner, and is willing to turn into a sharp blade in the island owner's hand to protect the spirit island for the island owner." Jing Yanfang, the acting head of the Jing family, immediately bowed down and asked for surrender. It is quite decisive.

"Patriarch Jing wants to represent the entire family to serve someone like Zhao? Can you understand some differences between it and the family that was the island owner before?" Zhao Shoushou asked lightly, as if he was not particularly keen on recruiting the Jing family.

"Jing Yanfang understands the difference, please don't worry, the island owner, but please give the Jing family a chance, I will definitely not let you down," the half-mature head of the Jing family replied affirmatively.

"Mr. Zhao is alone. If he wants to manage the spirit island, he needs a group of people to help him. If the Jing family is willing to become a member of the guard team under his command, they can practice on the gourd spirit island for a long time. However, it is necessary to abide by the rules. This kind of rule, if you violate it, you will be punished severely, do you understand?" Zhao Shoushou's tone can be said to be quite severe.

In fact, there are advantages and disadvantages for recruiting these families who have been sitting on Lingdao for a long time. Zhao Shoushou has never made up his mind, but the participation of the Jing family today helped him make up his final decision.

The lesser of two evils, as long as the absolute suppression above strength can be maintained, how can a mere family in the Qi refining period escape from his palm?

Even though the Jing family has been operating for a hundred years, and there are quite a few valuable treasures in the family, it is impossible to train a new foundation-building monk in a short period of time.

At present, apart from Jing Yanfang, an acting patriarch, the remaining few monks who are at the peak of Qi refining are all monks who are dying, and they are basically at the stage of a generation of talents.

Another point is that since they want to serve him and seek the protection of a middle-stage foundation-establishment monk, the Jing family naturally needs to donate some valuable treasures to show their sincerity.

In fact, there is also a reason for their reluctance to leave. Once they are based on a subsidiary miniature spiritual island, without the strong protection of the foundation-building monks, they immediately become delicious fat that some of the foundation-building monks can eat at any time.

Now that he is willing to enjoy Zhao Shoushou's blessing, besides some normal inspections, he naturally needs to offer some special treasures.

"Please rest assured, the island master. The younger generation will strictly restrain the clansmen. If anyone violates the rules of Lingdao, they will be punished severely." Jing Yanfang promised quite affirmatively.

"Since this is the case, the Jing family can use Xilu Mountain in the west of Hululing Island as a family residence, and the division of labor among all the monks will remain the same. In addition, the gourd seedlings must be taken care of carefully," Zhao Shoushou ordered decisively, paying special attention to the latter.

Low-level gourd seedlings can be traded for some spiritual materials and spirit stones, and high-level gourd seedlings can assist in improving cultivation. In addition, every time a spirit gourd matures, a spirit gourd auction will be held.

Every time it attracts a large number of monks, it has even gradually formed a habit. Of course, in addition to the gourd, another batch of resources will be raised for sale.

In addition to promoting the family's reputation, the Jing family can also take the opportunity to earn a lot of spirit stones. Naturally, Zhao Shoushou will not let such an excellent tradition be cut off.

"Please don't worry, the island owner. There are more than 100 monks in the Jing family who are dedicated to taking care of the growth and development of the spirit seedlings. It will definitely not have any impact." Jing Yanfang naturally understands the key to her family's foothold, and she is [-]% sure of this. confidence.

"Tomorrow, choose three monks who are familiar with the situation of the attached miniature spirit island, and go with Zhao to investigate one by one. In addition, every monk of the Jing family who sits on the miniature spirit island needs to come to see them," Zhao Shoushou ordered. The safety of the six affiliated spirit islands is also within the scope of his duties, so he should go to inspect and reassure people.

"The younger generation will definitely select a suitable monk and patrol with the island owner. This second-tier middle-grade spirit gourd is left behind by the old patriarch. I would like to dedicate it to the island owner today to show our loyalty." Jing Yanfang took one out of the storage bag Small green gourd.

"It's really a second-tier middle-grade spirit gourd. It's what someone needs. I'll accept it today, and I will definitely make up for it in the future." He obviously has no intention of rejecting this kind of treasure.

This is also the main purpose of Zhao Shoushou's tossing. If he still doesn't know how to be a miser and wants to be a miser, the treatment in the future will naturally be obviously different.

The Jing family has controlled Gourd Spirit Island for more than a hundred years. During this period, the highest-grade second-grade middle-grade spirit gourds have matured more than three times, even if most of them are auctioned off in exchange for some precious resources.

According to the rules of each family, some of the relatively high-quality ones will be selected and stored in the family treasure house, which can be regarded as a kind of family potential.

At present, Zhao Shoushou is already at the fifth level of foundation establishment, and the most important role of the second-level middle-grade spirit gourd is to help break the bottleneck and advance to the later stage of foundation establishment.

Moreover, its effect is directly proportional to the time a monk cultivates. If the next round of spirit gourd matures, it may be too late. When fighting for this spirit island, I have already made up my mind that I must do everything possible to get it from the Jing family. Get a spirit gourd in the hands of the family.

"The fact that the Jing family can continue to stay on Hululing Island is already a gift from the owner of the island. They must not dare to have other ideas. The younger generation will resign." After offering the treasure, Jing Yanfang left without hesitation.

In fact, this is the real face of the cultivation world. Under the circumstances of the large difference in strength between the two parties, offering treasures to seek protection and buy enough time for the development of the family.

Half an hour later, in the Jing family's old house, more than a dozen monks in the late stage of Qi refining were looking eagerly at the patriarch sitting on the main seat.

"The spirit gourd taken out of the treasury has been dedicated to the island owner. It is promised that the Jing family can rebuild the family residence in Xilu Mountain, and family members can also take over the duties of the past." Tone announced the final result.

Chapter 353 Wealthy Miniature Spirit Island Tour

"The master of the island is wise, my Jing family has finally won the time to cultivate and thrive. As long as there is enough time, there is no problem in cultivating a new foundation-building monk with the family background."

"Every plant and tree on Gourd Spirit Island is cultivated by the family. If you want to develop smoothly, you can't do without our help."

"Although the new island owner is powerful, he is only a casual cultivator. How can he leave the support of his family?"

"I dare to assert that if the family leaves Hulu Lingdao, the entire Lingdao will become a mess in at least one month."

"West Lu Mountain's spiritual power is poor, and it is remote from the remoteness. The owner may communicate with the island owner for a while? Allow me to wait to establish a new family residence near the spiritual vein."

After finally getting an affirmative answer, except for a few sober-minded monks, most of the monks who hadn't recognized the status quo immediately started to yell.

They even began to put forward various conditions that they thought were reasonable, and prepared to bargain based on their own value to strive for a better condition.

These jumping up and down are basically cultivated by the family with all their strength, and lack the experience of going out to experience monks, but they have never noticed that some of the tenth-level monks who are in the front row are getting more and more ugly.

Misfortune comes from the mouth, and disease comes from the mouth. This condition is even more cruel in the cultivation world, especially when the Jing family does not have a strong base-establishment monk to sit in it. Hundred-year-old families may die because of this.

"Shut up, do you want to push the family to extinction? Do you know that the island owner only needs to exile us on a miniature spiritual island, which is enough to make us fall into a catastrophe?" Ranked first on the left The white-haired tenth-level Qi Refining monk reprimanded him.

"There are a lot of casual cultivators outside who want to enter the spiritual island to practice. All they need is a recruitment notice. The applicants must be followers like a cloud. Don't make mistakes and bring disasters to the family. Anyone who violates the rules of Lingdao will be expelled from the Jing family immediately." Jing Yanfang said fiercely, obviously there was no room for discussion.

"Uncle Clan, please pass on the family decree, and we will start moving to Mount Lushan tomorrow." Before the words fell, her figure had already disappeared in the hall.

Zhao Shoushou didn't know much about the changes in the Jing family's old house, and he didn't have the slightest interest in them. Now his attention has completely turned to the small green gourd in his hand that exudes the breath of life and is only the size of a palm.

"The emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, as expected by Mr. Zhao, there are still some left in the treasury of the Jing family, they are interested, and they can take care of them in the future to ensure the inheritance of their family." quite satisfied.

If you can start to assimilate gradually with the mana in the dantian and the innate aura in the gourd from now on, you will definitely be able to get twice the result with half the effort when you break through the bottleneck in the future.

On the other hand, after the next time the spirit gourd matures, Zhao Shoushou may not have much time to cultivate it, and the effect of this special spiritual power will be greatly weakened.

Zhao Shoushou started from embarking on the road of cultivation, and up to now, he has fought for the control of Hululing Island at all costs. The ultimate goal has been to improve his cultivation, and this has never changed in the slightest.

Since the Jing family offered the most urgently needed spirit gourd, there is no need to suppress it in the future, and it is not impossible to provide some help in the future.

What if it is to re-cultivate an early foundation-building monk?On the contrary, he is at least a genuine late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.

As for re-participating in the battle for the Spirit Island, on the one hand, it is limited by the small possibility of success in cultivation, and on the other hand, if there is no stable inheritance, the degree of danger is too high.

When the time comes, the entire Jing family will still be unable to escape from his grasp. In this case, Zhao Shoushou has no need to continue to suppress them.

These thoughts were just fleeting, and I saw him sitting cross-legged in a secret room closest to the spirit veins, sitting cross-legged with his palms parallel to his dantian, and the spirit gourd was located in the palms of his hands.

Now that you have obtained the treasure you have dreamed of, the first thing to do is to refine it. The safest place for this kind of treasure is to hide it in the dantian.

With the rotation of the Great Zhoutian, whenever mana passes through his hands, under his control, a part of it will come out of the body and wrap around the spirit gourd layer by layer, forming a stable blue light belt.

This kind of naturally grown and matured spirit gourd is not the same as a spirit weapon. It has no spirit pattern or spirit consciousness in its body, and it only needs to be refined with mana to leave enough mana imprint.

The process of refining the spirit gourd is also not easy. It needs to consume enough time, mana, and energy, and it cannot be easily completed overnight.

Of course, Zhao Shoushou is not in a hurry. Today's purpose is just to leave some simple imprints of mana, and it is only necessary to freely store them in the dantian. This goal is not difficult.

The night passed in a flash, and at noon on the second day, he opened his eyes, waved the gourd with both hands, and disappeared in front of his eyes with a flicker.

Inside Zhao Shoushou's dantian was a pocket-sized gourd. It did not appear outside the dantian as usual, but stood straight in the center of the dantian.

Moreover, the surging magic power around him seemed unaware, and he didn't care about the existence of the gourd at all, as if it should appear here by nature.

"I would like to report to the island master, Jing Yanfang led three members of the clan to pay a visit, and was ordered to accompany the island master to inspect the six miniature spiritual islands." Soon the Jing family's patriarch's slightly charming voice appeared in his ears.

If Zhao Shoushou is willing, this female cultivator who wants to come to act as the acting head of the family will definitely be willing to live in the island owner's mansion, even if she doesn't have any status.

It's a pity that what Zhao Shoushou needs is a like-minded, similarly cultivated Taoist companion who can support each other on the road of practice, not a burden, which is enough to rule him out.

For most male cultivators, apart from some special yin and yang dual cultivation methods, preserving the essence is also a little bit helpful for congealing the golden core.

It's just because Jindan is a realm that is out of reach for most monks. Instead, after the foundation was established, they began to enjoy the life of dual cultivation.

"Departure" Zhao Shoushou didn't have any unnecessary words to communicate, and he had already begun to recall some basic information about the six subsidiary miniature spirit islands in his mind.

The second-tier middle-grade Gourd Spirit Island has six subsidiary miniature spirit islands, namely: Henglian Island, Hengshan Island, Hengyu Island, Hengbing Island, Hengan Island, and Hengzhu Island, basically within a diameter of [-] nautical miles .

Since these spirit islands are regarded as subsidiary islands of Hululing Island, their comprehensive conditions are quite excellent. Basically, they all have first-level high-grade spirit veins, and their area has reached the limit of a miniature spirit island.

The uses of these spirit islands are also different, or to open up spirit fields to plant a small amount of low-level spirit rice, or to have some spirit material mines, and so on.

Chapter 354 The long-buried dream of spiritual fish breeding

The six miniature spiritual islands belonging to Hululing Island are basically distributed in two levels. One is that Henglian Island, Hengshan Island, and Hengyu Island are located in the inner ring, and each spirit island has a team of ten The island protection team composed of monks in the Qi refining period are all within [-] nautical miles of Hululing Island, and at least tens of thousands of mortals are recuperating here;

The second is that Hengbing Island, Hengan Island, and Hengzhi Island are located in the outer ring, facing the invasion of various sea beasts, and deploying a first-level high-grade magic circle for protection. In the mid-term, the monks are the assistants, even if they are attacked by sea beasts, they can still stick to it. Each spirit island has [-] mortals.

There are countless large and small islands in the overseas practice world, and most of them have no trace of human existence. Due to the cruel environment here, all mortals must survive under the protection of monks.

If they live on some deserted islands, they are just some low-grade sea beasts of the first rank, which are enough to kill tens of thousands of mortals. Therefore, only on the spirit islands can they thrive.

For monks, this is a matter of mutual benefit. The most important point is that the number of monks is subject to mortals, and the other point is that these mortals can also carry out some basic affairs within their ability.

For Zhao Shoushou, the most realistic point at present is that it is obviously far from enough to rely solely on the Jing family if he wants to truly control Hululing Island.

The cultivation of some direct powers is imminent and ready to go. These most reliable powers naturally come from young children with spiritual roots among mortals.
