Practice begins with a fisherman

"Forget it, since you have devoted yourself to obtaining the demon elixir, you have made great achievements in managing the Seven Sages Pavilion for many years. After you succeed in the future, you can also share our worries." Decisive, since the shopkeeper of the Seven Sages Pavilion has made up his mind, the Tsing Yi Golden Core cultivator can only agree to it after all.

"Thank you, master, for the kindness of master's re-creation, if you can condense fake pills in the future, you will definitely repay it with all your strength." In addition to the friendship between master and apprentice, the link of interests is also an indispensable part.

"A golden core cultivator who was born as a casual cultivator used three sea snake sub-pills as bait, and he was quite arrogant. After two days, I will go to meet him for a while. I think what he is looking for is only some third-level spiritual materials." Tsing Yi Jin Brother Dan's tone was rather curious.

Regarding the dialogue between master and apprentice, Zhao Shoushou, who was concentrating on refining the bamboo spirit fruit, didn't know much about it. Now Zhao Shoushou was in a state of great joy.

The spiritual power contained in the bamboo spirit fruit is far beyond the original expectation in terms of quantity and quality. Compared with the only third-order low-grade Yaoyang elixir he took, it can basically achieve a one-to-two effect.

And compared to the erysipelas in the panacea and the ups and downs of the spiritual power caused by the level of the alchemist, there is no such thing here. He only needs to follow the requirements of the "Congealing Water Jue" step by step to run the big cycle. However, a large amount of spiritual power entered the dantian one after another like a bird returning to its nest.

The golden elixir rotating at high speed in the dantian seems to attach great importance to this high-quality spiritual power from the bamboo spirit fruit. Fang Yi refines it into the dantian, and immediately turns it into a raw material to promote the growth of the golden elixir.

It is precisely because of this that the refining of the bamboo spirit fruit is also quite fast. In only four days, when the Tsing Yi Golden Core monk came to pay an official visit, he had already finished refining.

"One bamboo spirit fruit, two Yaoyang pills, this transaction has not suffered a loss. After refining the five spirit fruits, a layer of white light should appear on the surface of the golden pills." This is his expectation for the future .

When a monk condenses golden elixirs or advances from the current cultivation base to a new stage, the golden elixirs in the dantian are all in a dim and introverted stage, and only after the spiritual power they need is filled will they be reflected. burst of light.

Since Zhao Shoushou condensed the golden core and stabilized his cultivation, he never had enough time to seriously retreat and practice. Naturally, the golden core in the dantian had not completed the most primitive accumulation, and calculated according to the effect of the first bamboo spirit fruit, five After all the refining is completed, it should be able to meet the needs of the golden elixir.

"Cultivator Zhu Qi from Lingdao in the Bamboo Forest is here to admire the fame. Would you like to see him?" A heavy voice easily passed through the barrier of the formation and appeared in Zhao Shoushou's ear.

The naming of the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove is also an anecdote in overseas cultivation circles. They are all based on the level of their cultivation. From Zhu Yi to Zhu Qi, their real names have never been heard.

Zhu Qi who came to visit this time is also the monk with the lowest cultivation level among the seven sages of the bamboo forest. He should be around the second floor of Jindan. Ranking in the forefront of the ranks is also not to be humiliated.

"Zhao Shoushou has seen fellow Taoist Zhu Qi." Zhao Shoushou tidied up and opened the formation to bring the appeared Zhu Qi monk into the cave.

"I heard that Fellow Daoist Zhao was very impressed with the Bamboo Spirit Tea, so I specially brought a few pieces to share with fellow Daoist today." Under Zhu Qi's skillful manipulation, a cup of spiritual tea with a tea aroma several times stronger than before appeared before his eyes.

"Spiritual Island in the Bamboo Forest is indeed a place that is loved by heaven and earth. Apart from the spiritual fruits of different grades, the Spiritual Bamboo Tea is even better," he sighed from the bottom of his heart.

Comparing the two, they are also Jindan early-stage monks. The current situation gap between the two is quite large, or they are not at the same level at all.

Of course, the pursuit of the two is completely different. If they are willing to serve as the elders of a sect, at least some basic treatment will not be much different.

It's a pity that Zhao Shoushou is not willing to give up his freedom. He seems to be working hard at present. If he can get a third-order spiritual island as a foothold in the future, his status and other aspects will be greatly improved.

"Fellow Daoist praised you. Only some spiritual bamboos that are more than 5000 years old have the chance to produce a small part of the bamboo spirit tea every year. They can only be used occasionally to satisfy appetite."

Chapter 515

He didn't care about the truth of Zhu Qi's words. It was a worthwhile trip to enjoy twice the top-quality spiritual tea, and even though the spiritual tea was good, it was not the ultimate goal of the trip.

After an in-depth conversation between the two Jindan stage monks, and a preliminary understanding of their respective personalities and habits, their words turned to the goal of this trip.

"I heard that Fellow Daoist once beheaded a three-headed sea snake. In addition to discussing the Dao with fellow Daoist, he also came here to buy demon pills for his incompetent disciples." Tell the real purpose of this trip.

"Don't speak dark words in front of Ming people. This time, Zhao came here because he wanted to exchange demon pills for some spiritual materials to be used for refining magic weapons. If brother Zhu Dao can provide them, it is naturally very desirable." Zhao Shoushou was quite He is bold and vividly expresses the purpose of this trip.

"Zhao Daoyou is proud, so it seems that Zhu Qi is petty. I don't know what kind of spiritual materials you need? But all that is in the treasure house of Lingdao in the Bamboo Forest can be used for this transaction." Perhaps infected by Zhao Shoushou, Zhu Qi After laughing at himself, he also showed his sincerity from another aspect.

Of course, the premise of all this is a fair transaction. If the other party deliberately increases the price of the three Sea Serpent Pills because of their urgent need, and takes the opportunity to make some additional demands, it is very likely that they will lose money by stealing chickens.

In addition to exchanging some spiritual materials, Zhao Shoushou's other important purpose of this trip was also to make friends with the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove, and he was well aware of this.

Otherwise, with the value of the three sea serpent pills, wouldn't it be possible to sell them at some auctions in exchange for more benefits?Why bother to go to such pains?

"Brother Zhu Dao, let's test the treasures provided by a certain one to see if they meet the needs." Zhao Shoushou took out a master, a pair of two demon pills, and three pairs of six complete eyeballs and arranged them in front one by one. This is his sincerity. .

Although it is said that another demon pill has been tested before coming here, but as the so-called caring makes chaos, since there is an opportunity, he will naturally not let it go.

Cultivator Zhu Qi, one of the majestic Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove, held demon pills and eyeballs in his hand, and used mana to test and test the quality of spiritual materials.

The three demon pills will be the main body of the fake pill, and the six eyeballs will be used as an appendage to strengthen the body's adaptability and improve the success rate of the fake pill before the formal refining of the demon pill. an effective method.

It was precisely because of the existence of this set of treasures that Zhao Shoushou came here with full confidence, ready to exchange for a treasure that could be used as the main material of the magic weapon.

The spiritual materials needed in the refining process of the magic weapon range from more than ten to as many as thirty or fifty. Among them, the most important one is the main material, which is related to the power and quality of the magic weapon.

In the previous practice process, I also encountered some spiritual materials, but unfortunately none of them were suitable as the main material. This is also the biggest and most urgent problem that needs to be solved before refining a magic weapon.

But every treasure that is qualified to be the main material of a magic weapon is something that can be encountered but not sought after, and only some well-developed spirit islands will store one or two, so Zhao Shoushou will come to Bamboo Forest Spirit Island.

"It's true that Quanxu Quanwei killed the three sea snakes in the battle. Whether it is the demon pill or the eyeball, they are all high-quality treasures, and there is no damage at all." After about a cup of tea, Seventh Cultivator Zhu The exclamation came just now.

"If you can refine the main demon pill of the three-headed sea snake, even if it is a fake pill, it will not be at the bottom of the same level. Brother Zhu, will you be satisfied?" He was quite satisfied with the other party's reaction.

In order to hunt and kill the three sea snakes, Zhao Shoushou almost gambled with his own life. If it wasn't for his superior skills and some good luck, the battle would definitely be reversed.

"I want all the two demon pills and the six eyeballs. I don't know what kind of treasure Zhao Daoyou needs?" Zhu Qi asked bluntly.

The two Jindan stage monks came here with sufficient sincerity, and naturally they had expected the quality and value of their respective treasures.

"How about exchanging these treasures for a low-grade sunflower ore mother?" Zhao Shoushou clearly stated the main material he had already selected in his heart.

The third-level low-grade sunflower ore mother is a special water-type spiritual material. It can only be formed in some deep-sea trenches with abundant spiritual power and nourished by third-level spiritual water and sea beast blood for thousands of years.

Only one piece of sunflower ore can be produced in one position, which can just meet the needs of a magic weapon, and it is also a relatively common treasure used as the main material of magic weapons.

Although this kind of spiritual material does not have too many special advantages, it is better than the balance of attributes in all aspects, and as the main material, it can be integrated with most of the spiritual materials, and in the future, after incorporating enough high-level spiritual materials, it can still be used. Of course, the whole process is quite difficult to achieve the promotion of the magic weapon.

For most of the new water-type golden core monks, sunflower ore mother is the best choice as the core material of the first magic weapon.

Fortunately, the sea area occupies the largest area in the overseas comprehension world, and the undulations of the seabed are quite mysterious and difficult to investigate. Therefore, although the conditions for the formation of the sunflower ore mother are harsh, there will always be more or less production every year. The value is not too high, basically equal to the treasures provided.

Bamboo Forest Spirit Island has been rooted overseas for many years, and there are more or less always some leftovers. The key is that there have been no new Jindan monks for many years, and there is no consumption of this kind of main material spirit mine. According to his calculations, in the future The success rate is still relatively high in exchange for the opportunity to become an advanced fake alchemy monk.

"Kuishui ore mother can be used as the main spiritual material for refining the third-level low-grade water-attribute magic weapon, and its value should be higher than that of the three-headed sea snake's demon core and eyeballs. Can fellow Daoist Zhao replace some other spiritual materials?" Brother Zhu Qi said before He is quite bold, but when it comes to the real deal, he starts to haggle and haggle.

"If you just look at the market value, the Kuishui mine mother is naturally higher, but the three demon pills from the same source can build a powerful fake pill monk, and the bamboo forest spirit island is not at a loss. It is to refine a handy magic weapon, and I am reluctant to exchange these treasures that I almost bought at the price of my life." Zhao Shoushou naturally refused categorically.

The main spiritual material can be said to be the core and key of a magic weapon, and it is also the reason why he is willing to trade the most precious treasures of the three sea snakes. It can be said that as long as the core spiritual material is obtained, a magic weapon is more than half successful.

Compared with the main spiritual material, the amount needed for other auxiliary spiritual materials is already very small, whether it is found in auctions or other places, the difficulty will be much smaller.

"Zhao Daoyou is right. For the sake of the future fighting power of the villain, we will complete the deal with sunflower ore." Seeing that there is no room for bargaining, Zhu Qi does not continue to entangle, and the deal is successfully concluded.

Two days later, Zhao Shoushou left Lingdao very gracefully, got up and set off for the open sea.

Chapter 516 Arranging Arrays to Find Spiritual Materials

All the goals of this trip to the Bamboo Forest Spirit Island were successfully achieved, and all the spoils obtained from the three-headed sea snake were successfully sold.

A set of third-tier low-grade rotten water and blood ecstasy array is enough to ensure the safety of the undersea cave, even if a middle-stage Jindan monk rashly breaks into it, he will have to pay a considerable price.

A third-tier low-grade sunflower ore mother acts as the core spiritual material of the magic weapon. If everything goes well in the follow-up, you may have your first magic weapon within 20 years.

After a series of battles before, Zhao Shoushou has paid more and more attention to the magic weapon. If he has a magic weapon to protect him, his combat power can be increased by at least [-]%.

This is also destined to find some auxiliary spiritual materials will be his main task in the next ten years, and his figure will also be active in various dangerous places in the overseas cultivation world.

Five days later, outside the lair of the three sea snakes, as Zhao Shoushou was busy for a while, with the support of sufficient mana, a strange fluctuation came, more than twenty array flags shook for a while, and a layer of red light formed outside the cave. , but soon disappeared, and merged with the sea water a little bit.

Zhao Shoushou is basically satisfied with this set of formations. With the triple power of attack, fascination, and corrosion, it is naturally insufficient as a large formation to protect the island, but there is still no problem in protecting a hidden underwater cave.

"With the protection of this array flag, Mr. Zhao's future is safe, and he can leave to find new opportunities at ease." After a year of retreat and practice, after refining the remaining four third-order low-grade bamboo spirit fruits, After raising his energy to the peak state, Zhao Shoushou was ready to leave.

The effect of the five bamboo spirit fruits really lived up to expectations. With the influx of a large amount of spiritual power, a layer of refracted light appeared on the originally dim golden elixir. At this time, it was considered the real golden elixir, and even its combat effectiveness was extremely low. There is a lot of help, so that he has more confidence in the future.

In fact, Zhao Shoushou did not have a fixed target for his next whereabouts. He searched for various opportunities in the entire open sea area, including the whereabouts of third-tier low-grade sea beasts, such as the tuna that he had always been obsessed with.

For Golden Core cultivators, any Tier [-] sea beast is of great value, as long as one of them is hunted, they can exchange for three or five kinds of auxiliary spiritual materials, which is an effective means to quickly accumulate wealth.

It's a pity that in the huge overseas cultivation world, although there are a lot of Tier [-] sea beasts, it is still a big challenge to find a suitable one from the vast sea.

"In 20 years, Mr. Zhao must have a magic weapon of his own to get rid of the current embarrassing situation." This is the oath that Zhao Shoushou made before the official departure.

As for the style of the magic weapon, he had also made a choice in his mind. "Congealing Water Jue" is one of the pure water attribute cultivation methods that has been passed down from ancient times. The most suitable magic weapon is naturally the water control gun.

According to legend, the water control gun was one of the favorite magic weapons and spiritual treasures of some Dragon Palace children in ancient times, but with the passage of time and changes in the environment, it has been difficult to fully exert its power.

Moreover, after a little bit of simplification and adjustment, the spiritual material for refining the water control gun may have less than one percent of its original power, and gradually become mediocre.

No matter how many shortcomings and deficiencies the mature standard magic weapon of the water gun has, it is still one of the most suitable magic weapons for water attribute monks, and it also has the highest success rate for refiners.

Judging from these two points, in the absence of a better choice, Zhao Shoushou really didn't need to change his family. No matter from which point of view, this was the most correct choice in the short term.

In fact, for Jindan cultivators, no matter in the overseas cultivation world or the mainland cultivation world, there is no shortage of various adventures or dangerous places to breed some elixir and spiritual materials. Every few years, some senior caves will always be born.

It's just that the competition in these places is too fierce or the degree of danger is too high. Zhao Shoushou didn't dare to explore easily without a magic weapon to protect him.

In the future, with the improvement of cultivation and various powerful methods to make up for it, it is not impossible to wait for the opportunity to find some magic weapons or even ancient treasures to enhance one's own background.

Stepping into the road of cultivation as a casual cultivator, Zhao Shoushou has been trembling all the way, extremely insecure, and has always had an extraordinary enthusiasm for various treasures.

It is unacceptable for him to lack a treasure of the same level that can be driven in the corresponding cultivation base, and it must be ended in the shortest possible time.

"Hehehe, Mr. Zhao's luck has always been good. Who would have thought that there is a piece of crystal-patterned copper hidden in this remote location?" Half a year later, on a small island deep in the open sea. On the table, Zhao Shoushou held a copper block covered with lines in his hand, and smiled very satisfied.

He just passed by here by chance and was hunted down by a third-tier middle-grade sea beast before. In the face of the absolute strength gap, even with frequent means, it is still difficult to resist the attack of the sea beast. In the end, he can only pay some price Then fled away.

The reason for choosing this island to rest is nothing more than because this place is relatively remote and has no spiritual veins nearby, so it will not attract the attention of some sea beasts.

Who would have thought that it was just a routine patrol of the island, and unexpectedly found a piece of crystal-patterned copper in an inconspicuous puddle that exudes a stench.

"I don't know which unlucky ghost stayed here." Looking at the broken bones near the vomit, he whispered to himself, but the action of collecting the treasure was quite straightforward.

Two years later, on an endless sea, a monk was tossing and turning, using spiritual weapons mixed with treasures to meet the enemy, and a sea beast that could not distinguish the specific type was biting fiercely.

Every time the sea beast attacks, it will manipulate the huge amount of sea water around it, either exploding, or turning into a shield, etc. to assist in the attack.

Coupled with the already strong body of the sea beast, it has firmly gained the upper hand in the battle, but it is still difficult to win. The strength of the two is basically in the middle.

"Sure enough, there are some evil sects in this deep sea. It is obviously a sea beast of the same level, but it can firmly suppress a certain person." Zhao Shoushou was very depressed.

After entering the deep sea, this is already the third sea beast that has been encountered head-on, but it has never hunted and killed one in the battle. Up to now, it has only relied on the technique of the hidden breath in the "Congealing Water Jue" to take the opportunity to hide on the bottom of the sea. Just steal one or two pieces of spiritual material.

However, Zhao Shoushou obviously would not be discouraged easily because of this. After realizing that he could not easily win, Zhao Shoushou decisively chose to give up.

In the next ten years, his figure has been active in different positions in the outer sea cultivation world, or searching for spiritual materials in some sea areas with abundant spiritual power, or fighting with various sea beasts, during which there were victories and others. Failed, the only constant is the increasing number of third-tier spiritual materials in the storage bag.

Chapter 517 Visiting the Liushan Sect's Magical Treasure

For 20 years, Zhao Shoushou's figure appeared in almost any place in the open sea where there might be suitable spiritual materials or third-level low-grade sea beasts.

During this period, there were successes and failures. Four low-rank third-rank sea beasts of different types became his trophies successively, and he was expelled by some powerful sea beasts more than ten times.

The most dangerous one was the two bald eagles with ghost car blood in the middle rank of the third rank. It can be said that they chased the crap out of them. An inexplicable state of collapse.

If it wasn't for rushing into the territory of another third-tier middle-grade sea beast in a panic, and attracting a pair of fierce birds to fight, his life might be in danger.

Even though he was lucky enough to escape with his life, he was seriously injured and only recovered after finding a relatively stable spiritual island for three years of recuperation.

After this battle, Zhao Shoushou had a new and deeper understanding of the dangers of the open sea, and in his subsequent actions, he was even more careful to act while ensuring safety as much as possible.

In the past 20 years, Zhao Shoushou has been running here and there without stopping for a while. When the last spiritual material for refining the third-level low-quality control water gun is ready, it is considered complete and he is really relieved.

Of course, during this period of time, in addition to searching for spiritual materials and facing various dangerous challenges, under the pressure of endless battles, my own cultivation has also made a small improvement. In addition to being round and shiny, the body shape also has some growth.

In addition, the various treasures obtained along the way, in addition to spiritual materials, there are more than ten third-rank low-grade spirit grasses. During this period, they have also been exchanged for various third-rank low-grade spirit pills. Fill up little by little.

Apart from the lack of a handy magic weapon, he is basically considered a qualified Jindan stage monk, which makes him quite proud.

"It's been more than [-] years since I was promoted to Jindan, and I finally collected all the spiritual materials. It's time to go to the Liushan faction." Zhao Shoushou, who had finished his rest, had a light of hope in his eyes.

After hunting and killing three sea snakes, he rescued two late-stage monks who belonged to the Liushan Sect. Therefore, he got a promise from Jin Jinshan, a third-rank low-grade weapon refiner, to help them for free after collecting all kinds of spiritual materials. Refining a magic weapon.

A Golden Core cultivator and an imposing Elder of the Liushan Sect will certainly not break his promise easily. Isn't this the right time for Zhao Shoushou to go?

Of course, Zhao Shoushou would not really let him help out for nothing because of a promise, and he had already prepared a good-quality and relatively unpopular third-order middle-grade earth attribute spiritual material horse dung stone in the storage bag.

This kind of spiritual material can only play its own special role in the refining process of some relatively small magic weapons. Zhao Shoushou obviously has no chance to use it, but according to the quirk of the craftsman who likes to collect spiritual materials, for this special Your spiritual material will definitely be happy and will not refuse.

Although the name of the horse dung stone is very rude, the conditions for forming it are also harsh. Some earth attribute spiritual materials can only be formed after being buried in layers of third-level top-grade sea beast Tianshui spirit horse feces for a hundred years, and here During the process, there must be fresh feces from Tianshui Lingma to moisturize continuously, but if the interval exceeds half a day, the success will immediately fall short.

From the process of its formation, one can imagine the touching smell of this third-grade medium-grade spiritual material. After being moistened by feces for a hundred years, the smell is its biggest feature.

"I don't know which kind of special heavy-tasting cultivator will use it as a spiritual material to refine magic weapons. I hope that I won't be disgusted by this well-informed refiner from the Liushan School." In the scene where the dung stones met, a special smile appeared on Zhao Shoushou's face involuntarily.

Ten days later, a third-tier middle-grade spirit island with a vast area and undulating peaks finally appeared before him. This was the first time after 20 years that he had returned to the inner sea where human monks took the initiative. For a while, he was in a trance.

"Stop coming, this is where the sect of the Liushan Sect is located. Dare I ask you whether you are visiting friends or refining magic weapons?" In front of the tallest mountain on Lingdao, five monks at the foundation stage appeared neatly in front of them. It's like facing a big enemy.

"Mountain Loose Man Zhao Shoushou, I'm invited to visit fellow Taoist Jin Jinshan of the Liushan Sect, please pass it on to me." Zhao Shoushou looked like a senior.

Of course, in my heart, I am more envious of the Liushan Sect, and its background is far beyond some small and medium-sized sects I have seen before.

Generally speaking, the monks in the foundation establishment period are the backbone of a sect. A monk in the early foundation establishment period guards the entrance and exit of the sect as the head, and more than a dozen monks in the Qi refining period are the assistants.

With five foundation-building stage monks as the guardian force, among them is a late-stage foundation-establishment, two middle-stage foundation-establishment, and two early-stage foundation-establishment team.
