Practice begins with a fisherman

Although it requires a considerable amount of resources, energy, and time, it is also the most important thing for every island owner who is a casual cultivator after initially controlling Lingdao.

Every spiritual island is a small closed world, and everything is under the control of the island owner. It is precisely because of this that the overseas cultivation world can continue to grow and develop, forming families of all sizes.

Judging from the previous jade slip description, according to Hulu Lingdao, all school-age children under the age of five should be tested for their spiritual roots every five years.

It's a pity that the combination of mortals and mortals has too few people with spiritual roots. It is not an exaggeration to call it one out of a thousand. Each time, at most, three or five seedlings are selected.

And most of them are monks with five spiritual roots. If they don't have enough opportunities to spend their whole lives, they can only practice in the Qi refining period, and what they can undertake is just some of the most basic tasks.

In the hundred years since the Jing family took control of Lingdao, only two monks with three spiritual roots, a man and a woman, appeared with the best qualifications. They are currently in the late stage of Qi refining, and they are also the focus of the Jing family's training.

There is also an extreme polarization between some big sects and small forces in the cultivation world, which is especially obvious in the overseas cultivation world.

For some first-class sects with golden core stage monks and Yuanying stage ancestor monks, the requirements for entry are at least three spiritual root qualifications.

For small spheres of influence like Hulu Lingdao, monks with three spiritual roots are already talented monks worthy of training, and the gap can be imagined.

"Island owner, the front is Henglian Island, 300 nautical miles away from the main spirit island, there is a first-level middle-grade Tucang Stone Spirit Mine, which can earn [-] yuan of middle-grade spirit stones every year, and there is also a second-level low-grade Lingtian Ten acres, six acres of first-tier middle-grade spiritual fields, and three acres of first-tier top-grade spiritual fields." Jing Yanfang obviously had done her homework in advance and was familiar with some basic information about Lingdao.

"Spiritual materials and spiritual fields should be strengthened to avoid being attacked by sea beasts." Zhao Shoushou has always attached great importance to safety, and this time is of course no exception.

As one of the nearest subsidiary miniature spirit islands, Henglian Island plays a very important role. With fifteen thousand mortals living there, it must not be underestimated.

Zhao Shoushou euphemistically called it an inspection tour, but its main function was to appease people's hearts and deter some monks who had ulterior motives and planned to take advantage of the fire with their powerful strength.

In every battle for spiritual islands in the overseas comprehension world, there are always some monks who rob all kinds of resources and property everywhere, and there are not a few cases like the skeleton demon girl.

Of course, some of the monks who are not as strong as those in the Qi refining period will entangle a group of desperadoes, desperately attack some miniature spiritual islands, and earn enough resources to meet the needs of several years of cultivation.

The degree of danger is also quite high. The counterattack of the island guard team, the island guard array, and some possible reinforcements, if unlucky enough to fall into the hands of the monks in the foundation building period, the whole army will be wiped out. It is the so-called high risk and high return. Proportional.

Following Zhao Shoushou's inspection, after feeling his powerful cultivation base, the more or less impetuousness on the miniature spiritual islands disappeared in an instant.

Whenever Zhao Shoushou's figure appeared, whether it was the native practitioners of Lingdao or some dependents, or even a large number of mortals would burst into cheers.

Some of the robbers who were hovering nearby to spy on these wealthy miniature spiritual islands were naturally frightened and dissipated immediately, fearing that they would fall into the hands of the monks in the foundation building period and would not be able to survive.

As the advance team of the robbers, they entered the spirit island to observe the situation, and the monks who waited for the opportunity to jointly open the formation inside and outside were also honest at this time. They turned into buyers and did not hesitate to spend a lot of spirit stones to buy some resources that could be seen everywhere. Lingshi in exchange for a chance to survive.

This kind of inspection continued until ten days later, when he was about to reach the farthest Hengzhu Island, he suddenly encountered a change. The spiritual veins of this spiritual island barely reached the first-level top-rank level, and the resources were relatively scarce.

However, because there are a large number of first-grade top-grade bronze crabs around, many monks in the Qi refining period are attracted to hunt them down, and naturally there are some shops that specialize in buying their shells.

The whole body of the bronze crab is full of treasures. A pair of large crab claws can be used to refine it into a spiritual weapon. The crab roe, the size of a fingernail, is full of the essence of the bronze crab.

Every time a bronze crab is successfully hunted, you can earn at least [-] low-grade spirit stones, and subject to the speed limit, the degree of danger is not high, which is already quite attractive to many monks in the refining period.

"Bronze crabs are a good resource. I don't know if it is possible to domesticate and raise them artificially. Has the Jing family tried it?" Zhao Shoushou standing near Lingdao couldn't help asking.

As a water attribute monk who was born as a fisherman for generations, he has always had a dream of breeding spiritual fish in his heart, but in recent years, he has been obsessed with improving his cultivation and has never realized it.

After years of hard work, wouldn't it be just right to have a second-tier mid-level spirit island as the base and enough monks under his command?

Especially when the Bronze Crab appears in front of you, isn't this kind of little guy who is only a first-tier top grade but worth a lot of money after adulthood the best test subject?How could he miss this opportunity?

Chapter 355 Encountering a Blackwater Beast on the Road

"I would like to inform the owner of the island that the Jing family tried to tame bronze crabs for breeding 50 years ago, but for some unknown reason, a large number of bronze crabs always died. After many attempts, they ended in failure," Jing Yanfang replied very familiarly.

The Jing family has controlled this place for more than a hundred years. Faced with this kind of sea beast that may be raised in large numbers, they will definitely try it.

In fact, there are some large and small spiritual islands in the overseas cultivation world, and there are some spiritual fish farming of different sizes. The same is true for the Jing family, and the scale is not small, but now it has become a member of his huge industry. .

It's just that there is no time to conduct a careful inspection. Unfortunately, due to the huge number, the value of various low-level spirit fish is not high, and most of them are sold to casual cultivators to earn some meager spirit stones.

Of course, in a small fish pond near the spirit veins, there are also three or five kinds of second-order mid-to-high-grade spirit fish and spirit mussels that are bred in small numbers.

The growth period of these special treasures is quite slow, and most of them are just mature at present, and each spirit fish has different functions.

Among them, the most precious are three second-grade high-grade mussels, all of which are bred with pearls of the corresponding grade. Once mature, they can be used to develop precious pearl powder.

These pearl powders are very attractive to nuns. Depending on the quality, it can be guaranteed that there will be no change in appearance for more than ten years but less than thirty years.

Once it appears in the square market, it will definitely cause many female cultivators to compete, and every time it can always be exchanged for some valuable treasures.

"I'm quite interested in these little things. I'll send some monks who are proficient in this way to study in depth. If I can tame them successfully, I will reward you a lot," Zhao Shoushou ordered lightly.

"Yes, please don't worry, the island owner. I will personally dispatch elite forces from the family to handle this matter." Jing Yanfang obeyed as always.

In the early morning of the second day, with the rising red sun, Zhao Shoushou and his party embarked on the journey back to Hululing Island, but they didn't know that there was already a pair of eyes watching their every move not far away.

The flames from the eyes of a black-clothed masked monk seemed to be devouring. After confirming that Zhao Shoushou and others had left the spirit island, a terrifying grin appeared on his face.

"The fifth-level monks who built the foundation, no wonder they were able to kill the beautiful skeleton girl in one fell swoop, leaving no life left. I don't know if they can save a life under the attack of sea beasts." The gloomy voice like a poisonous snake said viciously.

If Zhao Shoushou knew the whole story, he would definitely cry out for his grievances. The skeleton demon girl obviously took advantage of the fire to rob her. How did these wise monks degenerate to the point where they are now.

From the moment he set foot on the land of the overseas cultivation world, he has always been cautious. Even the seemingly brave fights with sea beasts have been carefully calculated. The probability of victory in each battle is more than [-]% .

When beheading the skeleton demon girl on Hululing Island, she had a premonition that she might encounter some kind of revenge, and she was on guard in her heart, but she never thought that it would come so soon.

Moreover, after paying a high price, the Tier [-] sea beast was mobilized to besiege without revealing its true body. Whether this calamity can be passed smoothly depends on whether it responds properly.

"The Jing family has been rooted here for hundreds of years. We must give full play to our advantages and monitor the actions of the nearby monks to nip the crisis in the bud. If we encounter a strong enemy, we will naturally help you," Zhao Shoushou instructed on the way back to Lingdao .

Since he was promoted to the foundation building stage, he has always attached great importance to all kinds of news. He once spent a lot of spiritual stones in the desert oasis to establish a news hall dedicated to purchasing inquiries, and he has benefited a lot from this.

At this time, to win a second-tier middle-grade spirit island and lay a foundation on this sea area, all of this must be rearranged. As the real landlord of this place, the Jing family is also his only choice in a short period of time.

Zhao Shoushou believes that in the face of absolute strength, these monks must be able to make the right choice. There is no doubt about this. A family in the Qi refining period is in control of everything.

However, this point has changed a little today. Even though Jing Yanfang tried her best to cover it up, the unique smell of a second-order spirit beast coming from her body could not escape the keen perception of the two cormorants.

If his guess is correct, it should be left over from the fall of the two foundation-building monks of the Jing family.

The biggest possibility of this monster is that it was left behind by the elders who passed on the skills in the early days of foundation establishment. The old patriarch of the Jing family and the spirit beast fell on the spot under the eyes of everyone.

On the contrary, the severely injured Chuan Gong elder sat down several months after returning to the family. During this period, it was not too difficult to preserve the spirit beast and protect the family.

"The Jing family will definitely go all out, but if there is any disturbance within the scope of Hululing Island, it will not escape the control of the island owner." Jing Yanfang, as always, did not give any discount to the island owner's orders.

Including the surrounding monks of the Jing family, each of them acted as they should, and listened carefully to all his orders.

Although I don't know how effective it will be, at least the attitude is worthy of praise. This is also the reason why he has given him more and more preferential treatment recently after getting his approval.

"Hulu Hulu" just at this time, a faintly strange cry came from not far away, and occasionally a long white silk thread appeared on the water surface and disappeared.

The surface of the sea, which should have been very noisy, fell into silence at some point. Zhao Shoushou's expression changed instantly, his sharp eyes shot straight at the sea, and his divine sense immediately shot around, trying to find Some possible clues.

"It's a wonder that there are so many second-order spirit beasts within the range of Gourd Lingdao's control." Zhao Shoushou's words were full of killing intent.

Although I don't know what happened in this short period of time?But it didn't affect the murderous aura that surged up in his heart and couldn't be suppressed.

"Evil animal, since you dare to appear in the inner sea and challenge the dignity of the monks, have you ever thought about falling here?" Before the words fell, the broken moon shovel had already broken through the air, and chopped down at a distance of a hundred feet from the spirit ship. .

When the spirit weapon came into contact with the water surface, a huge crater appeared on the surface of the sea, and a sea beast with a dark body and spikes appeared in front of it.

"Black water beast, why did this thing appear here?"

"They have always lived in groups, and the smallest group has at least five adult blackwater beasts"

Almost at the same time, the monks of the Jing family who recognized its details exclaimed. Obviously, this is not an easy sea beast to deal with.

"Wait and guard on the spirit ship, come whenever you go, some sea beasts just want to be obstacles in the way, I don't know how many sea beasts have killed such sea beasts in the open sea." As his figure disappeared, the next time he appeared was another black line Above the water beast.

Chapter 356

Although the environment in the open sea is relatively more cruel, for monks, there are countless trials between life and death. To be able to escape from these layers of danger, I am a little surprised by the situation in front of me, but it is not enough to scare him .

In the past 30 years, Zhao Shoushou has seen more dangerous environments in the open sea, and he has also killed one of the larger groups of sea beasts back and forth to escape his life.

To Zhao Shoushou, all of this was just a little tricky trick, and the worst thing was to break through alone and keep all the monks of the Jing family here.

There are only three or five black water beasts in the area, and the highest cultivation level among them is the second-level mid-level one. It cannot be compared with the experience in the Water Raven Strait.

Therefore, when the sea beast was discovered, apart from the momentary surprise, all that remained was a surge of anger. How could he endure such a provocation?

Only the most powerful means, absolute strength to suppress is the best strategy, and Zhao Shoushou firmly believes in this.

This is also the main reason why he chose to go upstream at the first time and brazenly kill the group of monsters. All possible opposing forces must be crushed head-on as soon as possible.

In fact, this was not only a crisis for Zhao Shoushou, but also a good opportunity to spread his prestige through the monks who followed the Jing family.

Although he had won the control of Spirit Island with an absolute advantage in the battle for Spirit Island, only a few monks had the opportunity to watch the battle.

Every time a new island owner comes to power, similar problems cannot be avoided. All kinds of attacks and difficulties emerge in endlessly.

Today was just a misunderstanding between the skeleton demon girl's concubine, which led to some misunderstandings. Of course, all of this did not affect Zhao Shoushou's decision and combat effectiveness.

"The black water beast is fast, good at defense, fast attacking, and belongs to the group of sea beasts. Can the island owner win and return?"

"It would be more suitable for the current situation if we stick to the spirit ship and wait for reinforcements to arrive."

"The island owner is an old man who came from a casual cultivator alone, where did he get reinforcements?"

"The island owner wouldn't just leave us here as dinner for the sea beasts, would he get away by himself?"

The monks of the Jing family on the spirit boat were discussing in low voices, especially after Zhao Shoushou disappeared, Jing Yanfang's face was extremely ugly, but it was rare that she did not object.

The reason why she asked for anything from the new island owner, even at the expense of offering the only second-tier middle-grade spirit gourd in the family treasure house, was to buy some time for the family's inheritance.

If Zhao Shoushou fell here, wouldn't everything be in vain?According to the regulations of the Spirit Island Alliance, the new island owner will fall within one year, and the monk who ranks second in the battle will be in charge.

As for her own safety, she didn't pay much attention to it. All of this confidence came from the second-rank low-grade spirit beast left by the elder Chuangong in the spirit beast bag.

Maybe they won't be able to win in the battle, and it is still possible to protect them and break through. Now they are struggling whether to send spirit beasts to assist in the battle.

In Zhao Shoushou's particularly meaningful eyes before she left, she understood that the existence of the second-order spirit beasts was no longer a secret. If she continued to hesitate, the goodwill gained from a series of previous battles would definitely disappear after the island owner won.

Maybe it won't have any negative impact on the Jing family in a short period of time. As time goes by, there will definitely be more foreign monks, gradually squeezing their living space.

On the other hand, the only second-order spirit beast is already the last resort of the Jing family. If it fails in the battle, it is conceivable that it will deal a blow to the entire family.

For Jing Yanfang's entanglement, Zhao Shoushou didn't care at all. In the eyes of others, this was already an insurmountable impasse, and he was always full of confidence.

Appearing on the sea road is a small group of black water beasts, with five adult black water beasts, two middle-rank second-rank beasts, three low-rank second-rank beasts, and the remaining seven or eight are only top-rank first-rank beasts. does not affect.

The ones currently besieging Zhao Shoushou are naturally two second-tier mid-grade black water beasts, and the remaining three second-tier low-grade beasts are entangled by two cormorants.

Their responsibility is not to win, but to delay the time. After Zhao Shoushou kills the two leaders, the situation can be considered completely opened.

"Happy, happy, let's fight today." As the battle became more intense, the ferocity in Zhao Shoushou's heart was completely aroused.

Especially when his chest was accidentally attacked by a black water beast, and a wound with deep bones was visible, he seemed even more crazy.

The moon-breaking shovel is not even driving in the air, but is holding it in hand, waving it vigorously, with the assistance of the water diversion fork, it does not hesitate to risk its own life, and its figure can be seen in the distance between the two black water beasts. At that time, decisively broke into it to seize the fleeting fighter.

Using the phoenix crown net and water-fixing spirit technique as defensive means, he prepared to resist the inevitable attack of the black water beast head-on. His main target was the sea beast that had suffered some injuries in the previous consecutive fights.

Injuring his ten fingers is worse than cutting off one of them. Only by beheading one of the sea beasts head-on can the situation be opened and the situation of the battle completely changed.

Of course, the degree of danger is naturally quite large. If there is a slight mistake in it, the situation on the battlefield will definitely be reversed, and it is likely that he will be the one who suffers heavy losses.

Since he was willing to compete for this first-line opportunity, he was naturally sure of it. It was too late to say it, but it happened in a blink of an eye.

When Zhao Shoushou's figure reappeared, it was already in front of the target Blackwater Beast. A large amount of mana surged out, and the muscles on both arms bulged little by little, attacking forward with unstoppable force.

The broken moon shovel turned into a sharp light and shadow in his hand, and he slashed towards the belly of the black water beast steadily and fiercely. He must be preparing for the most classic disembowelment and direct punishment.

The sea beast in front of me can grow up and have combat experience, which is also not to be underestimated. In addition, there are some talent inheritance in the blood, which can make the most correct choice when facing the crisis of life and death.

As expected, facing Zhao Shoushou's brave attack, the Blackwater Beast who was close at hand was equally violent. The sharp spines on its back instantly left its body, and more than ten spines almost surrounded it.

At the same time, a pitch-black water polo suddenly spewed out from its mouth, turning into a strange mask, surrounding the black water beast, forming a set of solid armor, and the abdomen, which was originally a weak point in defense, also disappeared.

"Hey, put it to death and come back to life. Since Zhao came here on an adventure, how can the attack generated by the accumulated power be blocked by a mask?" Facing this situation, Zhao Shoushou did not retreat but advanced, Fen Shui who had been hovering around his body The fork rotated rapidly and turned into a mask.

Chapter 357

Under the nourishment of a large amount of one-yuan heavy water and the support of sufficient mana, the water diversion fork has been stored for a long time to deal with various emergencies from the sea beast's counterattack.

Now is not the time for it to appear, not to mention the most suitable place above the sea, not only the attack from the water diversion fork, but also the continuous flow of water around it will block it accordingly.

"Bang bang bang" followed by a series of sharp collision sounds, most of the spines from the black water beast fell into the sea and disappeared without a trace.

Of course, a spiritual weapon must not be able to block such a dense and rapid attack. In the process of advancing, a burst of scarlet blood rain gushed out from the left shoulder. After looking carefully, it turned out that it was a spine that slipped through the net and had stabbed hard. wear.

There is still a trace of white bone fragments in the blood flowing out of the shoulder, and the damage caused by this blow is obviously quite severe.

Zhao Shoushou's face was still calm and calm, as if he was not the one who was injured at all, and it didn't even affect the display of combat power in the slightest.

"Kill" finally broke through many obstacles, and the moon-breaking shovel, which was best at breaking the defense head-on, carried enough power and landed on the neck of the black water beast.
