Practice begins with a fisherman

"Beast Hunting Club, Herbal Gathering Team, and Expedition Team" who could think of the three seemingly common names, and all the members in it were monks in the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

As for the purpose of the formation of these small teams, there is only one that is to do everything possible to collect all kinds of genius treasures that are conducive to the condensation of golden cores.

This point can also be clearly understood from the simple and straightforward name. Whether it is hunting sea beasts, picking elixir, or exploring treasure hunts, it is all about searching for various treasures.

No monk would think that their targets were some ordinary sea beasts or dangerous places, and all the monks who could attract the attention of the late foundation establishment were some real dangerous places.

Not to mention the monks in the foundation building period, even the monks in the Jindan period may perish, and only in these truly dangerous places can there be some treasures.

Three months passed in a flash. After continuous efforts, Zhao Shoushou's foundation-building seven-level cultivation had also gradually stabilized, and there would be no problems even in a single battle.

Perhaps the only consumption is Zengyuan Pill, if not for the help of two Zengyuan Pills, how could he initially stabilize his cultivation in just three months?

Compared with the second-tier middle and lower-tier spirit pills, the number of second-tier upper-tier spirit pills suitable for the later stage of foundation establishment is obviously even rarer. If you want to obtain some suitable spirit pills in the future, it will be quite difficult.

"Kacha Kacha" accompanied by the sound of teeth grinding, the stone door that had been closed for more than 20 years finally opened again a little bit, and a ray of mischievous sunlight illuminated the retreat room again.

"Congratulations to the island lord in the late stage of foundation establishment, he has made great progress in cultivation, and is one step closer to the Jindan Avenue." Outside the Shimen, the deputy island lord Zhao Baihua, the elder Fu Yuehua, the three spirit beasts, and all members of the guard team greeted him.

Every monk has a proud expression on his face, it seems that his own cultivation has improved, it is a kind of pride and pride from the heart.

Chapter 397 An Invitation from the Expedition Team

"Mr. Zhao is just practicing in seclusion. Why bother mobilizing people so much? His cultivation is just a small step forward, and it's nothing to worry about." He has always been quite generous and gentle towards his own person, Zhao Shoushou.

At the moment of leaving the customs, with a burst of spiritual consciousness, he already had a general understanding of the changes in Hulu Lingdao over the years.

This huge change naturally required some effort, and the first contribution should undoubtedly belong to the two foundation-building stage monks present.

Compared with an island owner who just let go and retreated wholeheartedly, they are obviously more qualified. How could Zhao Shoushou be dissatisfied?After all, he is still the one who gets the most benefit from it.

After some simple conversations, the monks from the escort team had dispersed, and Zhao Baihua, Fu Yuehua, and Zhao Shoushou, the three masters of Calabash Spirit Island, entered the Island Lord's Mansion for a secret conversation, all of which were related to future development.

"The two fellow Taoists have worked so hard over the years, and Mr. Zhao will remember everything in his heart. Whenever there is an opportunity in the future, he will definitely find some elixir with extraordinary effects for the two of you." Simple but quite substantial.

"The owner of the island is polite. It's just my job. I've gained a lot of benefits over the years, and I've recovered from my injuries." Zhao Baihua is actually quite satisfied with this point.

"The deputy island owner is right. If it weren't for the sufficient supply of spirit pills, it would be impossible for the little girl to have the opportunity to be promoted to the second floor of the foundation building with the aptitude of the five spirit roots." Fairy Shuixiu's face was quite satisfied. The appearance of the iceberg beauty in the past, with a flowery smile, made him stunned for a moment.

"You two fellow daoists are welcome, but there are some things that need to be resolved?" At this time, Zhao Shoushou just remembered the responsibility of being an island owner, which is quite funny. It seems that in his heart, Hululing Island only Can be ranked last.

"Thanks to the deterrence of the island owner Huwei, the development of Lingdao has been good in recent years, and there are not too many troubles, but there are three invitation letters that need to be reviewed." Zhao Baihua, the deputy island owner, has the right to speak on this point Yes, and took out three small group invitation letters and handed them out.

"If you have something to do, don't be polite. After a while, someone may choose to travel abroad to find opportunities. Hulu Lingdao is fully entrusted to the two of you," Zhao Shoushou said bluntly.

It took a total of 25 years for this promotion to the later stage of foundation establishment, which basically used up the time that Zidan Shouyuanguo had bought, and the remaining time required him to race against time.

After all, compared to the difficulty of condensing golden elixir, the bottleneck in the later stage of foundation establishment is nothing more than pediatrics. In addition to the improvement of cultivation, the search for heaven, material and earth treasures also needs to be put on the agenda as soon as possible.

"Please don't worry, Island Master, we will do our best." The two monks seemed to have expected it, and they agreed quite simply.

They understand that a mere second-tier mid-level spirit island is obviously not enough to trap a vigorous, broad-minded, and positive late-stage foundation-building monk.

What's more, they are happy to see the success of this situation. On the one hand, they can continue to rule a spiritual island in a legitimate way, and on the other hand, they will have more opportunities in the future if they follow a powerful monk.

This point is actually especially important for Fairy Water Sleeve. If she can get the full help of a future Golden Core cultivator, all troubles will be solved easily.

Wouldn't all of this be more logical if the two were in love with each other and had the opportunity to become a Taoist couple?With the full help of a golden core monk, the Wulinggen monk also has the opportunity to advance to the late stage of foundation establishment and even have a glimpse of the possibility of golden core.

It is not a particularly mysterious method to practice the outer world alchemy overseas, but the rarest one is a sea beast elixir with matching attributes.

The various disadvantages of Waidan are unavoidable, but it is undeniable that for some monks who have no hope of advancing, it is an effective way to prolong life and increase strength, which is extremely attractive.

For a female cultivator who was born as a casual cultivator, what relationship can surpass her Taoist companion?It can be said that from now on, the inner thoughts of this iceberg beauty have begun to change a little bit.

Of course, Zhao Shoushou didn't have much energy to care about these matters of love between children for a while. After sending the two important assistants away, all his thoughts were already on the three invitation letters in his hand.

The three invitation letters each have a rough description of the time, purpose, reason, and significance of the establishment of the three small teams.

In fact, their ultimate goal is the same, that is, through various means, to obtain some geniuses and land treasures to increase the chance of congealing golden pills. The only difference is that there is a little difference in choosing the path to the goal.

The beast hunters will simply hunt down some special sea beasts, take their demon pills and some special materials from the sea beasts as a means of assisting in congealing golden pills. On the premise that no one has ever fallen, he successfully hunted and killed the third-rank low-grade sea beast.

As the name suggests, the herb collection team takes various elixir. Of course, these elixir are all grown in some extremely dangerous places or sea beast lairs, and the difficulty is also quite large.

The expedition team is a collection of the former two. They focus on various secret realms, dangerous places, senior caves, etc. that have existed for a long time or have recently appeared in the cultivation world, in various forms.

The various treasures obtained are the most, but also because they face the most dangers and are unpredictable, the casualties are also the heaviest. In almost every operation, at least three or five members will fall.

Of course, risks and benefits coexist. Among the three small groups, the expedition team has the most monks who have successfully condensed golden cores, basically every 30 years.

The number of monks in the three small groups is basically the same. They all have about a hundred monks in the late stage of foundation establishment, and most of them are some small sects and loose cultivators.

As for which one Zhao Shoushou will join, he can't be sure for the time being. After all, he didn't know anything about the three small groups before. How can he make a hasty decision this time when the choice involves the condensation of the golden core in the future?

For the next ten days or so, his main energy was devoted to welcoming and dispatching. Some shopkeepers in the nearby Lingdao, Hululingdao Fang City, and monks who often live on Hululingdao came here one after another. Visits, even if only foundation-building monks are eligible to be received by him in person, are not a small amount.

However, every time I saw more and more treasures in the storage bag, my mood would somehow get better. After all, every monk who came would bring some valuable gifts.

"An invitation from the expedition team? I don't know if it's a show of favor or a test of a certain strength? Or a combination of both?" Until one month later, Zhao Shoushou couldn't help thinking while holding another invitation letter Go ahead, considering both the risks and benefits of the trip.

He never thought that the expedition team's second invitation would come so abruptly.

Chapter 398 Deep Sea Grand Canyon

Among the three small groups that belonged to the later stage of foundation establishment, Zhao Shoushou's favorite was actually the expedition team. Although there were many dangers, there were also many opportunities to obtain various treasures.

A monk's practice is to go against the sky, and the dangers he faces along the way are unknown, so he is only vigilant against it, not afraid of it.

Especially with the improvement of cultivation, the resources that need to be consumed have become more and more scarce, and naturally the more effort is required to get it, unless one is willing to be a salty fish that only relies on meditation.

This is obviously impossible for Zhao Shoushou. Since the three small teams are all taking risks, why not choose the one with the highest income among them?

Wouldn't it be nice to get more training resources that can last for several years or enough precious treasures in one adventure?Wouldn't it be better to save more time for cultivation?

As for the so-called test on the second invitation letter before him, he didn't take it seriously. Although he was only a beginner on the seventh floor of foundation building, he still had a certain degree of confidence in his own strength.

From another aspect, since the purpose is to test the strength of a monk, the place chosen should not be some Jedi who have long been famous in the cultivation world.

The specific information was not disclosed on the invitation letter, which has always been a practice, and the purpose is to prevent the leakage of information or cause some unnecessary troubles.

"A team led by an experienced foundation-building ninth-floor monk has sufficient guarantees for combat effectiveness and enough room to maneuver in case of danger. He is well prepared, but how many monks will participate?" Zhao Shoushou's eyes appeared. The light of expectation.

For this invitation, he will naturally go to the appointment on time. On the one hand, this trip is a good test for his own strength, and on the other hand, he is also quite curious about some secret places in the overseas cultivation world.

He comes from the cultivation world of the mainland. Although he has been wandering in the open sea these years, he has a certain understanding of some basic conditions here, but he knows little about some of the more hidden places.

This aspect is almost his natural and irreparable shortcoming. The degree of danger in these hidden positions is naturally extraordinary, but the benefits are also quite amazing.

The spiritual grasses and spiritual beasts that have disappeared from the outside world are almost all reproduced and survived in these places, because there are few people and all kinds of precious spiritual materials are relatively common.

Among them, the most precious ones are some poisonous insects and poisonous flowers with special functions. Most of them have various functions, and there are not a few of them that are helpful for congealing golden pills.

"Two months later, the Blackwater Spirit Island will meet. I have some time to prepare. I hope this trip will have good luck." Zhao Shoushou's spirit was shocked when he thought of this.

While he was thinking about it, a second-order high-grade spirit island that was located at the junction of the inner and outer seas and belonged to the base camp of the expedition team was also discussing about a certain matter, judging from the movement. Obviously, it will not be possible to reach an agreement for a while.

"The Grand Canyon of the Deep Sea is located deep in the open sea. Various second-tier high-grade sea beasts emerge in endlessly, and third-tier middle-lower-grade sea beasts often appear. Bringing a group of rookies here for trials is to send them all to a dead end?" Hall A rough voice inside shouted, obviously quite unconvinced.

"Let's not talk about a group of newly promoted monks in the late stage of foundation establishment, even if you are here, can you go to one of them with confidence and return safely?" The voice was gloomy, but the meanings expressed by the two were exactly the same.

"Survival of the fittest has always been the code of conduct for the expedition team. Take the essence and discard the dross, and select the monks with the most potential among them, so that it is possible to ensure the emergence of the next Jindan stage monk." This one is obviously obvious. anti-tone.

"The expedition team has existed for thousands of years. It is precisely because of the continuous absorption of excellent fresh blood that the current situation can be maintained. Although the deep sea canyon is a bit more dangerous, it is not a deadly place for the monks who built the seventh floor of the foundation. Don't you forget The last trial?"

It can be seen from the bloody words of the two parties that the so-called expedition team is not a benign place, and every Golden Core monk who goes out is full of blood.

"Everyone is also a powerhouse in the late stage of foundation establishment on the Megatron side. How can you be arguing like a vegetable dealer here? This time the destination is appointed by the island owner. Heishuiling Island can give them a place two months later. A chance to choose" An old man sitting cross-legged in the center spoke to suppress all the quarrels.

This monk was dressed in white, had white hair, and a white beard, but his face was unusually ruddy. His voice was not loud enough for the monks present to hear him clearly. There seemed to be no breath leaking from his body. Bring undeniable pressure.

With the improvement of the cultivation level, the aura exposed on the monk's body becomes more inconspicuous, which is a completely opposite process to the cultivation in the Qi refining period.

Obviously, he is a monk who is already at the peak of foundation building and even touched the edge of the golden core. As long as he continues to take a step forward, he is likely to become the next golden core monk.

The so-called island master in his mouth is naturally the real leader of the expedition team, a genuine Golden Core cultivator, and a high-grade Golden Core cultivator with a bright future.

There are also certain differences among Jindan monks, depending on the qualifications of the monks and the solid foundation in the previous cultivation process.

Of course, this kind of secret is only relatively handed down, at least Zhao Shoushou doesn't know the difference now, and can only leave it to explore and learn one by one in the future.

It's a pity that the leader of the expedition team is not fixed. According to their rules, the last monk who condenses the golden core needs to sit in the base camp until a new monk successfully condenses the golden core before he has a chance to leave.

This can also be regarded as a price and commitment for the support of the expedition team. Although it loses some freedom, it is also quite valuable.

"Since it was determined by the island owner and his old man, we will naturally have no objection. Can we send two foundation-building ninth-floor monks to act as guides? If there is another group destruction, I am afraid that it will be more difficult to continue recruiting in the future. Higher." A monk sitting cross-legged in a corner proposed an ambiguous solution that was acceptable to both parties.

"In view of the current situation, we can add one more leader, and the two can enjoy the same treatment. Is there any fellow Taoist willing to go?" The old man agreed decisively, and he had no objection to this point.

Not to mention the controversy and changes in the base camp of the expedition team, Zhao Shoushou, who had made up his mind to accept the invitation, was taking stock of the available treasures.

It takes half a month to go from Hululing Island to Heishuiling Island where the assembly point is located. In addition to dealing with some trivial matters on the Lingdao, the time left for him is not too much.

What's more, once promoted to the later stage of foundation establishment, all kinds of treasures needed are not easy to purchase in the market, and need to be specially ordered in some shops.

Chapter 399 Gathering and Departure

The shops in Fangshi in Hululing Island are naturally willing to give him a certain amount of help, but it is a pity that it will take a certain amount of time for them to search for second-level top-grade talismans and spiritual weapons.

As for whether you can buy some suitable treasures before departure, in addition to hard work, luck is also an important aspect.

"Fortunately, there are still three or five talismans that Zhao Baihua has searched for over the years, which may be used to save lives at critical moments." In the treasure house of the Gourd Lingdao, Zhao Shoushou carefully took out five quite complicated drawn talismans from a jade box full of prohibitions. Talisman.

With them by his side, he would be able to fight back if he encountered a real danger. As for the other types of treasures and spirit stones stored in the treasure house in large and small jade boxes, they could not bring him real help.

Speaking of which, this treasury was left over from the Jing family. At that time, it had just entered Hululing Island, and it was almost empty except for some cheap and common second-level low-grade spiritual materials. The second-order low-grade spirit gourd that came to trade.

After these years of development, the treasure house has undergone a major change at this time. With the filling of various spiritual materials, spirit stones, elixir, and panacea, it finally has a look that should belong to the treasure house. This is not easy .

From the changes in the treasury, it can be seen that the development of Hululing Island in these years has been changing with each passing day. Otherwise, after excluding all kinds of expenses, how could there be a large number of remains.

It is precisely because of the existence of these spirit stones and treasures that Zhao Shoushou has the confidence to buy some second-level high-grade resources he needs in the future.

"With so many treasures and spirit stones in his body, his efforts in the battle for the spirit island were not in vain," Zhao Shoushou said quite gratified.

Ever since he officially became the owner of Hululing Island, he has been giving continuously without asking for anything. Isn't this the time to repay?

If it is a family that occupies this spiritual island, this treasure house should be just for viewing. The family treasure house is the storage place for all kinds of preserved treasures to supply the cultivation of the family monks, just like the previous Jing family Same.

Only a lone cultivator like Zhao Shoushou can accumulate a considerable amount of cultivation resources over many years.

In the busy preparation work, the passage of time is quite fast. The time of January is just a blink of an eye, and it is fleeting. In the blink of an eye, it is time to start a new journey again.

Under Zhao Shoushou's frequent urging, even though some shops in Fangshi tried their best, the treasures that finally appeared in his hands on time were only two extra second-level top-grade magic charms, one of which was a mutated wind-attribute Fengling Dao spirit charm, and one was an earth-attribute charm. The Earth Killer Talisman.

"How long will the island owner be able to return from this trip? Can you make some decisions about Lingdao?" Zhao Baihua couldn't help asking, a deserted ferry crossing in the northwest corner of Hululing Island.

Although he had expected the island owner's departure in his heart, he never thought that it would appear so quickly. In fact, the pressure on him was not small.

"The time when I was invited to explore this time cannot be determined. The management of Lingdao has entrusted the two Taoists with full authority. All affairs can be handled after discussion. However, this trip is very dangerous, and the two cormorants are going to leave with someone." Zhao Shoushou's decentralization can be described as It is quite bold and decisive.

In fact, these are also derived from the confidence in one's own cultivation. If this trip can return smoothly, no conspiracy will have any effect in the face of powerful strength; What's the use?

The reason why they bring two cormorants is that on the one hand, they can increase their combat effectiveness and play a supporting role at critical moments. On the other hand, if they can get some opportunities, it will also help them improve their strength.

The two cormorants have been with him since he embarked on the road of cultivation. Zhao Shoushou would not give up on them easily unless it was a last resort.

"The island owner's own safety should come first during this trip. The two of us will definitely do our best to manage Lingdao. When the island owner returns, Hulu Lingdao will definitely change into another look." Zhao Baihua is full of confidence guaranteed.

"I wish the island owner all the best for this trip and return soon." The Water Sleeve Fairy Fu Yuehua could only be a blessing.

"It's just an adventure, so what if there are some dangers? For a certain person, it's just like walking on flat ground, let's go." Before the words fell, one person and two cormorants accompanied each other to embark on a new journey again.

It is a happy moment for the two cormorants. After all, there are fewer and fewer opportunities to be with their owners. Whether it is dangerous or not does not seem to be too important.

In other words, whether it is a spirit beast or a sea beast, due to the inheritance of blood and fierce temperament, not only will they not shrink back when facing a battle, but they are eager to try.

In addition, the spirit ship used in this trip can be said to be a shotgun for a cannon. It is a genuine second-grade middle-grade spirit ship, and the second-grade middle-grade sea shark spine is used as the main material for refining.

As the overlord in the water, even after being refined into a spirit ship, the sea shark's little breath left is enough to have a deterrent effect.

Therefore, starting from Hululing Island to Heishuiling Island at the junction of the inner sea and the outer sea, it can be said to be quite smooth, and there is no sea beast to intercept it.

When he arrived on this small spiritual island, he surpassed all the monks and arrived first. This is quite rare in his past practice career. After all, a monk who often falls behind always appears first. It's kind of surprising.

"It's rare that Zhao is so active, but it's a pity that there is no bystander, tsk tsk tsk, you should adjust your breathing a little bit." A regretful look appeared on his face.

This calm lasted until the third day, when new monks appeared one after another, all of them were late foundation-building monks. These experienced old monsters did not communicate or test each other, but instead occupied a bluestone Close your eyes and adjust your breath, keeping your strength at a peak level at all times.

Judging from the exposed aura, the monks who came here are basically based on the seventh floor of foundation building, and most of them will not be promoted for a long time.

Perhaps it was for this reason that they had not joined one of them. Some late-stage Foundation Establishment monks with profound cultivation had already become guests of other small groups.
