Practice begins with a fisherman

"If you don't break it now, when will it be broken?" I heard a loud shout, and the broken moon shovel, water diversion fork, and even the yellow-throated tortoise shield dedicated to defense all turned into a special stream of light and shot away.

The crimson sky was like a peeled egg, revealing white and tender skin. Zhao Shoushou jumped up and disappeared into the formation in a stream of light.

Almost at the same time, with his leaving figure, the main formation, as if it had never appeared before, shattered silently, and disappeared piece by piece in the sky.

After regaining consciousness, his figure had reappeared in the Tibetan Alchemy Pavilion, and not far away was Hu Jingzhi, who was covered in darkness and smelled of white burnt.

Chapter 425 Casualties and Loot Distribution

Looking at the motionless position in front of him, and the undamaged wooden frame, Zhao Shoushou felt as if he had been in another world. The crisis he was facing in the formation just now seemed to have never happened before.

"It's one step away from two heavens, and the formation master is amazingly powerful. Mr. Zhao has only fully understood it today. Is Hu Daoyou okay?" Zhao Shoushou, who woke up first, couldn't help asking.

"Thank you fellow daoist for saving your life. It is true that life and death are only a moment. If fellow daoist hadn't broken the formation, I would really have died in this raging fire today." Hu Jingzhi's sigh was also very profound.

"Someone Zhao was just lucky enough to break one of the bases of the formation, so he had a chance to break the formation." Recalling his previous experience, Zhao Shoushou was not at all proud, but rather bitter.

It is quite difficult to make up for the loss of more than twenty drops of green gold blood essence. When thinking of this, how can you be a little bit proud?

"Should the two of us meet other fellow Taoists? This formation should be relatively easy to attack from the outside." Hu Jingzhi's words changed, and the target had changed in an instant, which made people feel overwhelmed.

Hu Jingzhi's goal was not to rescue other monks. When he said this, his eyes were fixed on the three remaining bare wooden frames. His true thoughts were naturally self-evident and quite obvious.

The task of Zhao Shoushou and the others is only the first wooden frame to store the spirit stones. All the spirit stones are added to five, and they are evenly distributed among the storage bags of the two monks.

Judging from the quality and grade of the treasures among the four wooden frames, the Lingshi is undoubtedly the one with the lowest practicality and value. Regardless of whether the remaining six monks are alive or dead, these treasures must never be given up.

"You Daoist Hu is right. We are all colleagues of the expedition team. Now that we are out of trouble, we naturally have to help. How can we just ignore death at such an urgent moment?" Zhao Shoushou said righteously.

Of course, neither of the two monks would believe it, but it meant that a preliminary agreement had been reached, and the first target was naturally the third wooden frame where Liu Hongyuan was.

There are two reasons: first, they are the strongest among the sixth team, even if they encounter some dangers, they have the highest chance of surviving; There must be no loss at all.

This mission can fail, and other monks can also fall, only the blood essence of Tianma, which is helpful to condense the golden core, can't have any accidents.

"Boom" The two had just reached an agreement, and before they had time to make a move, a few cracks appeared on the appearance of the originally stable formation, and then a tall figure took the opportunity to break out, it was the team leader Liu Hongyuan.

Just like how Zhao Shoushou broke the formation before, after the crack appeared, the entire formation continued to dissipate. Unfortunately, when the figure of another monk appeared, he had fallen dead on the ground without any breath.

"It turned out that the two fellow daoists have escaped from the predicament. It's really a blessing. I will join forces to break the other two formations and rescue the fellow daoists." Liu Hongyuan didn't feel any sorrow for his fallen companion. In the expedition-oriented team, it happens frequently, and it has long been used to it.

After an incense stick of time, with the full cooperation of the three of them, the remaining two formations were opened one after another. Unfortunately, the monk who was originally ranked fifth also fell into it.

The fall of two late-stage foundation-building monks in one battle was a rather obvious weakening for the sixth team, which had only eight monks in total.

Perhaps the only thing to be happy about is that the practice resources accumulated by the formation master over the years are all turned into their spoils. After the average distribution, it can be exchanged for the cultivation resources that have supported a late-stage monk for ten years. It is a fortune.

Even for Zhao Shoushou, he was quite satisfied, and almost all of these trophies, except for Lingshi, were treasures that were rarely seen by the outside world.

If everything goes well and with the support of sufficient resources, it is not too far away to build the eighth floor after retreating for ten years. This is also the fundamental reason why the expedition team can exist.

After tasting enough sweetness, when the next expedition comes, I am afraid that I will not refuse when I know the danger, but I will respond immediately, just like the two monks who have fallen.

Even in the most powerful first expedition team, the casualties were almost all through every expedition, but a large number of foundation-building ninth-floor monks still swarmed up like crossing the river. Isn't this the most powerful explanation?

"Take the corpses of the two fellow Taoists back to Expedition Spirit Island, and hand over all the remaining items to the blood relatives. Quickly search the remaining four storage rooms," Liu Hongyuan quickly ordered after recovering.

The exploration here must be done quickly, so as not to have long nights and dreams. They just have a certain opportunity. Once the news spreads, a large number of monks in the foundation stage will definitely appear here at the first time. If you don’t want to be the target of public criticism, evacuating as soon as possible The right choice.

Perhaps this formation mage was too confident, or perhaps at the last moment of his life, there was no time to arrange more formations, and the next action was quite smooth.

About an hour later, this cave was almost turned upside down by the monks of the sixth team, and all the valuable treasures were taken away.

The inheritance of the formation method was also found in the living room next to a corpse sitting cross-legged with only bones left. So far, this expedition has basically come to a successful conclusion.

A day later, six monks from the sixth team appeared on an inaccessible island thousands of nautical miles northwest of the formation master's cave.

This place basically belongs to the edge of the inland sea and is a relatively barren sea area. Except for some first-order sea beasts and the occasional monks in the refining period, there are basically few monks visiting, and the direction is completely opposite to the base camp of Expedition Spirit Island.

The purpose of coming here is naturally to share the spoils. Naturally, it is not necessary to be so cautious during the normal expedition activities on weekdays. The harvest of this trip is really too rich.

Especially the blood essence of Tianma among them, once the news leaks, even the expedition team that has been quite stable all along will definitely cause some waves.

Although there will be no forcible snatching of loot, it is unavoidable that some people come to try to trade in a steady stream, even some senior foundation-building nine-story monks of the Presbyterian Church are unavoidable.

After all, for the foundation-building nine-story monk, any piece of natural material and earthly treasure that may be helpful for condensing the golden core is worth fighting for at any price.

"The harvest of this trip is quite rich. Once the news is leaked, you will understand the consequences. In order for you to have greater confidence in the process of congealing the pill in the future, the news of Tianma's blood essence must not leak out." At the time, Liu Hongyuan's face was unprecedentedly serious.

Chapter 426 Comprehensive Ranking and Distribution of Loot

In fact, from the actual situation, Tianma's blood essence is just the most common kind of natural material and earthly treasure that assists in coagulating golden elixir. How much effect it can play varies from person to person, and it is not yet known.

The biggest effect is just to smear it on the dantian to make the magic power in it boil. It can also be regarded as a method to stimulate the monk's potential.

But all the monks in the late stage of foundation establishment have a morbid extravagant hope for the golden core. Any monk is tirelessly pursuing the elixir that may work, and even pays a huge price for it.

Of course, the role of Tianma blood essence in the process of congealing pills is not too much. This does not mean that it can be seen everywhere. In the cultivation world, both Tianma monsters and Tianma blood essence are quite rare. A top-notch second-tier high-grade monster.

Pegasus monsters generally only appear on some grasslands with vast areas and abundant spiritual energy. They usually feed on various grades of elixir, and they are all treasures.

In addition to the most important essence and blood, demon pills can be used to refine elixir. Flesh and flesh play an important role in the promotion of spirit beasts. After the bones are crushed into powder, they can be used to improve the rank of spirit fields and elixir gardens , and even play some role in the growth of some specific elixir.

It's a pity that the number of Pegasus monsters is too rare, and there are even fewer overseas cultivation circles dominated by islands. The last time there was a record of a Pegasus was 200 years ago.

The remaining six monks in the sixth team obviously don't care where the bottle of Tianma blood essence found in the formation master's cave comes from. What they focus on is how many drops they can get.

The role played by Tianma's essence blood in the process of congealing the golden elixir is proportional to its quantity to a certain extent. The more you get, the more obvious the supporting role will be in the future. How can the monks not have any care?

"We all understand the importance of Tianma's essence and blood, and the treasure's information will definitely not be leaked, captain, just relax."

"Going to this step step by step, risking your life to explore, the ultimate goal is to condense the golden core, who is willing to hand over the treasure?"

"It's better to quickly distribute all the spoils according to the performance and meritorious service in the battle, so as not to have long nights and dreams."

Originally, all the monks in the late stage of Foundation Establishment who had no desires and desires, and were like gods and gods, immediately turned into master bargainers and kept urging them under the hardship of caring about their own interests.

The distribution of loot is difficult and easy to say, especially during the exploration process of multiple people, if one is not paying attention, it is likely to cause internal fighting.

However, the expedition team, which is famous for various expeditions, naturally has a set of regulations for the distribution of spoils, which can basically guarantee the basic interests of the monks and avoid internal fighting to the greatest extent.

"According to the combat performance in the formation master's cave, the following will make a comprehensive evaluation, No.1 Liu Hongyuan, No.2 No. 3, No.4 No. 5, No.6 No. [-], No.[-] No. [-], No.[-] No. [-] , do you have any doubts?" Liu Hongyuan's ranking is basically seeking truth from facts.

The reason why Zhao Shoushou was able to emerge suddenly was mainly because he was the first to break out of the formation at the final stage and indirectly saved the lives of several monks.

No.1 is naturally beyond doubt. On the one hand, the strength is second to none among monks of the same level, and on the other hand, he has always set an example in expeditions and is at the forefront.

In fact, this sorting is mainly aimed at some relatively precious loot, which is equivalent to the allocation of a priority option. Obviously, it will not have any impact on treasures that can be evenly distributed, such as spirit stones and Tianma blood essence.

The number and types of various spiritual objects obtained in this operation are quite rich and complicated, but the speed of distribution is quite fast.

In fact, most of the loot can be distributed equally, and the only thing that needs the right to choose is the twenty or so spiritual weapons that are finally placed in front of the monks.

There are eleven second-tier high-grade spiritual artifacts, six second-tier middle-grade spiritual artifacts, and at least three second-tier low-grade artifacts, each of which is a masterpiece of the same rank.

Among all the spiritual weapons, attack, defense, support, storage, etc., there are all kinds of different types, and the specific value is completely different from person to person, and it is distinguished according to the needs of monks.

According to the normal situation, the value of defensive spirit weapons and some auxiliary spirit weapons with special functions is obviously higher.

However, different monks faced different situations and needs. For example, Zhao Shoushou was staring at a heavy spiked mace.

Since he was promoted to the seventh floor of Foundation Establishment, in many battles, because of the lack of powerful offensive spirit weapons, he suffered repeated losses in battles.

For Zhao Shoushou, who was eager to change this situation, a suitable second-tier high-grade attacking weapon was obviously the most important thing. This special heavy-duty mace naturally became his must-choice target at the first time.

"The allocation of spirit weapons has begun. According to the comprehensive evaluation ranking, Mr. Liu has the priority to choose the first spirit bronze bell." His gaze was quite vicious.

This is a combination of offense and defense, and has a certain auxiliary function. It can play a big role in both combat and defense. It can be called the most valuable spiritual weapon.

"This heavy-duty mace is destined for me, so I'm not welcome today." Zhao Shoushou decisively pocketed the target spirit weapon, with an undisguised look of joy on his face.

Hu Jingzhi, who was ranked third, chose a shield-shaped defensive artifact, and the remaining three each had a knife and a sword.A second-tier high-grade offensive spiritual weapon in a common shape such as a gun.

After the first round, the rest of the choices were relatively easy. After a cup of tea was distributed, Zhao Shoushou got a total of one second-level high-grade spiritual weapon, two second-level middle-grade spiritual weapons, and one second-level low-grade spiritual weapon. In terms of quantity alone, it is consistent with Liu Hongyuan who ranked first.

Even if he can't use two middle-grade spirit weapons of the second rank and one low-grade spirit weapon of the second rank, he can still trade some spirit pills in the market. No matter from which point of view, this expedition is a good one. Said to be rewarding.

In addition to the above-mentioned loot that can be distributed, there are still some jade slips. After the monks present have copied them, they were originally handed over to the elders for review.

The six monks in the sixth team can be divided according to a certain ratio every year. Of course, the core is a set of formation inheritance and practice experience. After careful consideration in the future, there will definitely be something to gain.

After dividing the loot, under the guidance of Liu Hongyuan's sea shark spirit beast, he returned to the Expeditionary Spirit Island two days later. After the task was delivered, it turned into birds and beasts in an instant.

After the completion of this expedition, no new missions will be arranged within five years. It is a time for monks to rest and practice, and Zhao Shoushou is no exception.

Chapter 427 The Development and Changes of Hululing Island

Every monk in the expedition team is in the late stage of foundation establishment, step by step to the present, and the ultimate goal is naturally to pursue the improvement of cultivation.

After each expedition, as long as the mission is successfully completed, a large amount of precious resources will inevitably be obtained. In addition, the battles and dangers encountered during the expedition are also a good stimulus for the monk's potential. After practicing for a period of time, there will definitely be good gains and progress.

"A certain person should be a hard-working busy person by nature. According to the calculation of time, the maturity of the second-level middle-grade spirit gourd should be within two years. Fu Yuehua and Zhao Baihua alone should not be enough to deter the situation." After laughing at himself , Zhao Shoushou embarked on the journey back to Hululing Island.

Counting from the promotion to the seventh floor of Foundation Establishment, it has been seven years since he left Lingdao. As an island owner, he should return to this critical juncture to frighten him for a while.

Although these spirit gourds that were about to mature did not help his cultivation much, they could still be exchanged for some spirit materials, medicines, spirit stones, etc.

It is also a small help on his path of cultivation. With his current cultivation base, he may be able to harvest some good quality treasures from the increasingly prosperous market.

With the continuous development of Hululing Island in recent years, the shops in Fang City have undergone a complete update. At present, the only ones that can gain a foothold are some joint shops with relatively strong strength and a relatively developed network of purchasing and selling goods.

As the island owner in the late stage of foundation establishment, it was the first time for him to return to Lingdao, and he himself had considerable development potential. There must be some speculative monks who would come to visit.

Maybe he only needs to remind him one or two times, there will be a large number of monks to help him search for all kinds of treasures, this is the biggest advantage of Sidihu.

The distance from the Expedition Spirit Island to the Hulu Spirit Island is not too far. Without any sea beasts blocking the way, they successfully arrived at the Spirit Island that had been away for several years after three days.

"Spiritual fish, spiritual fish, fresh spiritual fish, cheap price, plenty of spiritual power, don't miss it when you pass by"

"Fellow Daoist may need to hire a road boy, who can lead you to the goal in the shortest possible time, all you need is a low-grade spirit stone"

"The Jing family carefully cultivated purple-backed spirit shrimps, each of which is equivalent to a low-grade first-grade spirit pill, and sold for a piece of low-grade spirit stone"

As soon as Fang boarded the pier of Lingdao, he was a little stunned by the prosperous scene here. Although the sales were mainly low-level spiritual objects suitable for the Qi refining period, it also reflected the development of Hululingdao in recent years from the side. develop.

The scene here is completely different from the situation when Zhao Shoushou first came here, when all the monks were robbed by skeleton demon girls like quails.

Another difference is that at a position hundreds of feet away from the wharf, a tall city wall stands upright, enclosing the core of Lingdao. conspicuous.

The main spiritual material of the city wall is a kind of diamond known for its sturdiness. The value of each piece is relatively low, but overall it cannot be underestimated.

The most important thing is that simply building a city wall will not play a big role for monks. The layout of various formations must follow closely, especially the air-forbidden formation.

It can be said that every completed city wall is paid for by white spirit stones, and it is also a witness of the power of one party.

It's just that Zhao Shoushou never imagined that on a second-tier middle-grade spirit island that belonged to him, there would be an expensive city wall rising from the ground.

"Island owner, is this the old man of the island owner?" As soon as Fang entered the city gate, a sharp voice sounded from behind.

"The island owner and the elder Chuangong have been stationed at the Gourd Lingtian recently. Could it be that the pressure has been too great recently and hallucinations have occurred?" The person who spoke was a monk in the late stage of Qi refining. A monk in the Qi refining period guards the city gate.

"It's not the deputy island owner and the elder who passed on the practice, but the island owner, the island owner. With his old man in charge, the safety of Lingdao is safe." The monk was incoherent, but a gleam shot out of his eyes.

"You are stationed at the gate of the city. The captain immediately goes to inform the deputy island owner and the elder Chuangong." Before the words were finished, the captain turned into a stream of light and headed north of the city.

Although he had some feelings about the movement at the city gate, he didn't take it to heart. On the contrary, he was very satisfied with the two dedicated monks stationed in the Spirit Gourd Garden, and his trust over the years was not in vain.

The whole journey was slow, observing the changes in the entire Gourd Spirit Island. When Zhao Shoushou appeared in the central city lord's mansion, Zhao Baihua and Fu Yuehua were waiting at the door.

"Welcome the island owner to return to Hululing Island. He has been there for seven years, but he wants to make me wait." The smile on Zhao Baihua's face was quite sincere.

"If the island owner doesn't come back, with the weak strength of the two of us, there is no way to protect the second-tier middle-grade gourd spirit field." Fu Yuehua's tone inevitably contained a trace of complaint and mischievous tone.

"The two fellow daoists have worked hard. You can release the news of Mr. Zhao's return. If there are still monks who are desperate, I don't mind using his big head as a deterrent." Zhao Shoushou's words were full of confidence. Everything comes from its own strength.

He firmly believed that no matter how tempting the treasures in the Gourd Garden on Gourd Spirit Island were, no monk would be willing to take risks in front of a genuine late-stage Foundation Establishment monk.

What's more, there are still two early foundation-building monks here, a second-level low-grade Hundred Flower Snake, and two second-level low-grade cormorants at their peak state. Purely in terms of combat effectiveness, they are not inferior to any spirit island.

"Without the island owner's approval, we spent a lot of spirit stones and started building the city wall without authorization. Please punish the island owner." The second time Zhao Baihua opened his mouth was after entering the island owner's mansion's meeting hall.

"The construction of the city wall is mainly to protect the gourd spirit field. In recent years, monks have often come to test it. In addition, for some unknown reason, there are often a lot of second-level middle and low-grade sea beasts wandering around the spirit island. For the safety of the spirit island, You can only use the spirit stones that have been stored for many years to build the city wall." The division of labor between the two is quite clear, and Fu Yuehua is responsible for explaining in detail.

"The two fellow Taoists are only credited, so where are the mistakes that need to be punished? If it weren't for the two years of hard work, how could the Gourd Lingdao have developed to the present level? How can someone like Zhao be able to retreat and improve his cultivation with peace of mind? During the period of leaving, all matters can be settled with one word, and there will be no change in the future." How can there be any punishment for the meritorious minister Zhao Shoushou?

This kind of report lasted as long as three hours, and it was not until the evening that they had a preliminary understanding of the development of Hululing Island over the years.

At present, the core on Lingdao has been transformed into Fangshi and some auxiliary businesses developed by itself, such as Fuzhuan Hall, Refining Hall, Formation Hall and so on.

Chapter 428 Establishing the Eighth Floor of the Foundation
