Practice begins with a fisherman

Under Zhao Shoushou's subconscious control, the mana that entered the water control gun was all high-quality mana that had been refined and strengthened by the Great Zhou, Dantian, and Jindan.

Under the rhyme cultivation of sufficient mana, the control water gun is in constant change almost every moment. After each rhyme cultivation is completed, the spirit pattern on the magic weapon will have a slight increase in brightness, which shows that the control The fit between water gun and mana is quite high.

While Zhao Shoushou was retreating with peace of mind to raise his magic weapon, the Liushan Sect was also in the midst of intensive preparations, because it was related to the development of the sect in the next millennium, and almost all members of the sect were mobilized, including those who spent most of their time in retreat. Among them is Liu Xuanling, the elder of the ninth floor of the golden core.

A small spiritual mine can produce about 10 yuan of low-grade spirit stones every year, 6% of which accounts for 4 yuan, and 2% of which accounts for 2000 yuan. The annual income gap is [-] yuan. In a thousand years, [-] million low-grade spirit stones , is already an income that cannot be underestimated.

"In this way, this Jindan Qi comrade is willing to help? The three bottles of Xueyuan Lingdan are worth the money." This is the best news Liu Xuanling has heard in recent days.

The vast majority of monks in the cultivation world are looking for advantages and avoiding disadvantages. When the news of the competition between Liushan faction and Bailangmen spread, and when the strength of Liushan faction was slightly inferior, some so-called friends in the past all disappeared.

Under such circumstances, they could only bite the bullet and participate in the competition, and this invitation to Zhao Shoushou was just a tentative move.

Of course, under the current circumstances, only casual cultivators of the golden elixir stage who are unrestrained are willing to participate, and are not afraid of the hostility of Bailangmen. Unfortunately, in the current situation of the cultivation world, it is a pity that as a casual cultivator, it is possible to condense the golden elixir step by step It is indeed a minority among the few.

"In this way, it is not in vain that the fourth junior brother spared no effort to refine a third-rank low-grade magic weapon for him on the eve of the competition. There are also some monks worth making friends among casual cultivators," the second elder Zhao Boya finally said. A rather pertinent remark.

"Brother, Bailangmen holds that there is one more Jindan early-stage cultivator than us, and they are full of confidence in this competition. The news that Zhao Daoyou is willing to participate in the competition should be kept secret, and the opponent is not prepared. Next, my Liushan faction has the best chance of winning." The third elder, Wang Ziyi, obviously has richer experience.

If the news of Zhao Shoushou's participation in the competition leaks out, it is not impossible for Bailangmen to find a monk of the same rank or stronger in the remaining two months with the strength of Bailangmen.

"Eldest brother, according to the rules left by the patriarchs of the two factions, all Jindan monks participating in the competition must be members of the sect, and Daoyou Zhao should be given the position and token of a temporary guest elder," Jin Jinshan reminded at the end .

This rule has become a dispensable item in recent years, but it is also necessary just in case. Soon, without Zhao Shoushou's knowledge, he got the position of an elder guest.

Time passed quickly between Zhao Shoushou's magic weapon Yun Yang and Liushan School's intensive preparations, and two months passed like a fleeting moment.

As an experienced craftsman, Jin Jinshan naturally pursued perfection in the process of refining the magic weapon, so the quality of the magic weapon was better than he expected.

Zhao Shoushou naturally spent more than one and a half months on raising the magic weapon, and he didn't finish it until he was about to set off. At this time, he can be said to be full of energy and confidence.

"Congratulations to fellow daoist for finishing raising the magic treasure rhyme. We will officially set off in five days and go to Lingdao where the spirit mine is located." Seeing him leave the customs, Jin Jinshan just breathed a sigh of relief.

"Since Mr. Zhao has agreed, there is no reason to go back on his word. We can leave in five days." Zhao Shoushou responded affirmatively, which is a great reassurance for the current Liushan faction.

In addition to the three bottles of Xueyuan Spiritual Pills worth 500 yuan of high-grade spirit stones that were given as rewards, the Liushan faction even sent a small storage bag, in addition to a token of the elder Keqing, there are also three pieces of water attribute treasures. Talismans and some third-order low-grade panacea for healing are not without help to him.

Five days later, five figures disappeared on the Liushan School Spirit Peak. They were the four real Jindan elders and one impersonated Keqing elder.

The five Jindan stage monks flew through the air with their own magic weapons. This was also the first time Zhao Shoushou really enjoyed flying in the air freely and without restraint. This is the demeanor a monk should have.

Because of Zhao Shoushou's cultivation base, proficiency, and the time for cultivating the charm of the magic weapon, even though he has gone all out, he still falls in the last place.

Of course, the slightly slower speed is only relatively speaking, and the journey of [-] nautical miles only takes a day and a half.

When they arrived at a small island located in a remote area of ​​the inland sea at noon on the second day, the five Jindan Patriarchs of Bailangmen had already arrived a day earlier.

"The Liushan faction has become more and more promising in recent years, and they even know how to ask for foreign aid. Could it be that they have forgotten the rules left by the founders of the two schools?" look.

"Old Jinxiu wants to spout blood here, and Shoushou is the elder of the Liushan faction's Keqing. Isn't it justifiable to participate in the competition for the Lingshi mine? How could it violate the rules set by the ancestors of the two factions? Could it be that the last battle has been forgotten?" How could Liu Xuanling at the ninth level of the golden core be a person who has earned his fame?Three times, five divisions and two will make the other party speechless.

Zhao Shoushou, the core figure in the debate, sat on the Diaoyutai like a silent old monk, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him, quietly waiting for the final result of the battle between the Liushan faction and the Bailangmen.

"It's just a Jindan early-stage monk who has no background and no one knows where he came from. What if he participates in the competition? It won't have any impact on the outcome of the battle. Has he ever thought about participating in the battle between two sects rashly? What will be the consequences of offending Bailangmen in the future?" Jin Yimen's last sentence was full of threats, and there was nothing hidden until Zhao Shoushou.

"A certain one is alone, never afraid of any threats, whoever wins and who loses on the battlefield is the most powerful proof"

Chapter 522

Just as Zhao Shoushou said that casual cultivation is a shortcoming that restricts him from obtaining a large amount of resources and is difficult to overcome for a while, it is also the root of his fearlessness when faced with similar questions and threats.

Although he is just an inconspicuous Jindan stage monk, in terms of overall strength, he certainly cannot be compared with Bailangmen.

One day, if he really wants to take revenge on Bailangmen, the other side will not be able to bear it. This is also the fundamental reason why he dares to participate in the game between the two sects.

Therefore, when he was questioned by the elder of the late Bailangmen Golden Core, Zhao Shoushou was able to fight back without any scruples, because he was fearless and fearless of revenge.

There was no irresolvable hatred between the Liushan faction and the Bailangmen. It was just a once-in-a-thousand-year competition for the share of the Lingshi mine, and his participation was far from enough to trigger an outbreak of conflict between the two.

"Old Jin, you really are living more and more, so what if you bully and threaten a new comrade here? How about I wait for the two to compete? Have you improved your skills over the years?" Liu Xuanling responded in a timely manner. , interrupting Jin Yimen's follow-up words.

"The confrontation between you and me is naturally unavoidable. If these juniors are incompetent, don't say that Bailangmen wins by fighting with wheels, hahahaha" Jin Yimen showed quite arrogance.

The language confrontation between the two sides only lasted for a quarter of an hour. The real competition will be held two days later, and Zhao Shoushou will end up as the first representative of the Liushan faction.

During the remaining two days, the ten Jindan stage monks from the two sects were making final preparations and breathing adjustments in their respective rooms to ensure that their fighting power was at its true peak when the battle started. Zhao Shoushou was no exception.

Compared with other veteran Jindan monks, the long-distance flight of up to [-] nautical miles consumes a lot of mana in his dantian, and it only takes two days to barely recover. I can't relax even for a moment.

"Dang Dang Dang" At noon on the third day, melodious and mellow bells rang on this small spiritual island. This was also the day when the Liushan School and the Bailangmen officially competed.

The small spirit mine vein is located in the northwest corner of Lingdao, and the arena required for the competition has also been set up. A late Jindan monk with white beard and hair acts as the referee and announces the rules of the competition.

"The battle between Liushan faction and Bailangmen's once-in-a-thousand-year spiritual stone mine has officially begun. There are no restrictions on any methods in the competition. The only rule is that when one party clearly admits defeat, the other party needs to stop immediately and the competition begins." The old man simply introduced. After a while, he stepped back to announce the start.

"Zhao Shoushou, the elder of the Liushan faction, will be the first to end, please help the fellow Taoists of Bailangmen?" After receiving the instruction, Zhao Shoushou was the first to appear on the stage.

Whether it is the Liushan School or the Bailangmen, the purpose of the first battle is mainly to test each other. The two schools that love and kill each other have a general understanding of the strength of their respective Jindan monks. Unfortunately, There was an unexpected variable in this battle.

Therefore, in the first battle, Bailangmen should most likely choose the weakest Jindan early-stage monk to fight, which is what Zhao Shoushou hoped.

After congealing the golden core, he has also fought against sea beasts of the same level several times, but due to the lack of magic weapons for protection, it is difficult to fully display his own combat power.

The third-level low-quality control water gun has been refined, and naturally can't wait to fight against monks of the same level. Regardless of victory or defeat, the ultimate goal is to test where the upper limit of one's own strength is.

"The five elders of Bailangmen, Bailihua Laiye" As expected, a luxuriously dressed Jindan early-stage monk leaped down, holding a pair of iron balls in both hands as his magic weapon.

"Good time, try someone from Zhao's water control gun, a hundred waters will turn to the dragon, order" The opponent has already appeared, and Zhao Shoushou will naturally not let go of the opportunity to fight for the upper hand.

After Zhao Shoushou shouted out the ordinary long spear in Zhao Shoushou's hand, there were bursts of waves on the calm sea not far away. Accompanied by bursts of roars, more than a dozen water dragons with sea water as their bodies and mana as their bones It came through the air wagging its tail, and its target was Bailihua.

"It's a small plan, what's the point?" Bailihua said disdainfully, and threw a pair of iron balls with all his strength, turning into a stream of light and hitting the heads of the two water dragons. seawater.

However, the role of the ten water dragons is only to entangle, and it is enough to achieve the goal, the real ultimate move has not yet been sacrificed.

In fact, through the first round of probing, he has already gained more confidence in winning. This Bailihua is quite strong, but what he lacks is experience in battle. It should be cultivated by Bailangmen as a flower, so there is nothing to worry about .

Taking advantage of his opponent's single-minded entanglement with the ten water dragons, the water control gun in Zhao Shoushou's hand spun, and a large amount of water spiritual power condensed around, and part of it gradually formed a sharp blade. When the speed and quantity reached a certain level, Attacked Bailihua.

From the very beginning of the battle, Zhao Shoushou acted first to seize the first opportunity. The Greenhouse Flower of Bailangmen is not weak, but he has been adopting passive methods to try to break his moves, which is quite passive.

As the battle time elapsed, the battle turned to Zhao Shoushou's direction little by little. After about half an hour, Zhao Shoushou came across the void with a water gun in his hand, and stayed in the middle of Bailihua's forehead.

If he hadn't kept his hand, it would have been impossible to kill this monk who lacked combat experience but had a high opinion of himself on the spot. The battle ended too easily, and it never played a role in stimulating his own potential.

"Brother Baili is strong, but the victory of the battle does not depend on just blindly fighting and charging, but combat experience is also an indispensable part." After winning, he was obviously in a good mood.

"Liushan faction wins" the old man in the late Jindan period announced the victory on the spot. The old man seemed to have been waiting idly on the edge of the ring, but the moment the water control gun appeared on Bailihua's forehead, Zhao Shoushou clearly sensed a powerful force. The shroud of consciousness.

But this old man will strike decisively whenever the magic weapon continues to move forward, which is also an important reason why he has to be merciful.

"To win a battle, Mr. Zhao's task has been completed. The rest of the battle has nothing to do with Mr. Zhao. He will leave today." Zhao Shoushou just bowed his fists to the location of the Liushan faction, and his figure had disappeared above the sea. Come and go in a hurry.

Zhao Shoushou was willing to come here, on the one hand, to urge Jin Jinshan to do his best to help him refine the magic weapon, and on the other hand, to leave a friendship. Now that the goal has been achieved, he naturally does not want to continue to participate in the entanglement between the two sects.

Just won the first battle and did not cause substantial damage to the monks of Bailangmen, and the other party will not retaliate for this in the future.

Chapter 523 The Call of the Expedition Team

Since the goals of all aspects have been achieved for several miles, why does Zhao Shoushou continue to stay here?Isn't this the moment when Gao Guang should leave?

As for the next move, Zhao Shoushou did not have a specific plan for a while. After the magic weapon was successfully refined, he would return to the seabed cave in the open sea to refine the five bottles of Xueyuan Lingdan, or continue to travel in the open sea to find Some suitable opportunities.

Of course, after having a water gun to help him, his purpose is no longer simply to hunt sea beasts, and he can also explore some dangerous places with great opportunities.

In addition, you can also inquire about the news of some seniors who are about to be born in some lively squares and cities. If you have time, you will naturally not let it go easily.

In fact, Zhao Shoushou still lacks a suitable defensive magic weapon. The one who has the best chance of getting such a precious and rare magic weapon is the senior Dongfu.

As for the dangers in the cave, there are mainly two aspects. First, the formations and traps left by the monks before they sat down. Because they were arranged at all costs, their power cannot be underestimated; second, the competition of fellow monks. , the mutual killing and casualty rate among monks is the highest.

Every time, whether it was because the birth of the cave passively attracted a large number of monks to scramble, or the monks actively searched for the senior cave based on a few words in some jade slips, there would be at least half of the casualties, and even more than some explorations in dangerous places.

In many cases, for monks, the most dangerous ones are always the companions, which is why Zhao Shoushou has spent most of the time fighting alone since he embarked on the road of cultivation.

It's not that he doesn't know that he will face more dangers like this, and it's not that he doesn't want some trustworthy like-minded people to help each other. The key is the lack of trustworthy monks, which is the most sad thing.

"Since there is no satisfactory plan for the next step of practice, it is better to practice in seclusion for a period of time. If you are lucky enough, five bottles of snow essence pills will be enough to make a certain cultivation base take a small step forward." After making up his mind, Zhao Shoushou didn't hesitate anymore, and went straight to the outer sea where he hunted and killed the three sea snakes.

As for the outcome of the subsequent battle between the Liushan faction and the Bailangmen, it didn't have any impact on him, and naturally he didn't care too much.

When Zhao Shoushou left gracefully, it aroused the envy of several Golden Core cultivators present. For them, perhaps this kind of life where they can come and go freely is what they yearn for the most.

"No shackles, coming and going as you please, being home everywhere, wandering in the sky in the morning and turning into snow in the evening, this is the model of my generation of monks." Zhao Boya, the second elder who has always been the most disciplined, is the most emotional, like a small flame in his heart So burn up.

"If it weren't for the support of the elders of the sect, how could we have come to this point? Junior brother must not make mistakes." Liu Xuanling snorted coldly.

As a monk at the ninth level of Jindan, he is only one step away from Yuanying. His views on many things are down to the essence, and some external things cannot shake his heart.

"The second Liushan sent Jin Jinshan to ask for advice." Zhao Shoushou's departure will not affect the continuation of the competition. In the next battle, because it involves their own interests, every Jindan monk can be said to go all out, a magic weapon The collisions and explosions of treasure talismans happened one after another, making the scene quite lively.

If Zhao Shoushou hadn't helped in this competition, for the Liushan faction, four for five would be needed, and a strong player would be needed for one-on-two. This important task would most likely fall on the great elder Liu Xuanling, even if he could Relying on one's own strength, one might have to pay some price to win by force.

This battle turned into a one-on-one battle under his forced participation, and he won the first battle with an absolute advantage, obviously having the upper hand.

Even if there are some mistakes in the follow-up battles, and one or two battles are lost due to carelessness, they can be recovered in the end, and there is still hope for the final victory.

However, as for the final result of the battle between the two sects, from the moment Zhao Shoushou left, he no longer cared about it at all. At this time, he just arrived in the outer sea cave and was about to retreat and refine the elixir. He was also facing a new choice.

"The expedition team really lives up to its reputation. A certain casual cultivator who has been promoted to a golden core still cannot escape their eyes and ears. Since there is nowhere to go for a while, it is a good choice to guard the expedition spirit island." Zhao Shoushou couldn't help murmuring while looking at a magic talisman in his hand .

After passing the test, he joined the expedition team and explored dangerous places or caves three times with his cultivation in the later stage of foundation establishment. Overall, the harvest was good, and it could be regarded as providing some assistance for him to condense the golden core.

In addition, before officially becoming a member of the expedition team, he had made a great oath, once the golden core was successfully condensed, he promised to guard the expedition spirit island for at least a hundred years.

It's a pity that Zhao Shoushou had already encountered the scourge of sea beasts not long after joining, and Zhao Shoushou's contact with the expedition team was cut off. Take the initiative to contact.

Who would have thought that after more than [-] years, today he would be called to explore the spirit island for no reason. Since it was the original promise, Zhao Shoushou naturally had to fulfill it.

What's more, the expedition spirit island, as the base camp of the expedition team, is a genuine third-order spirit island with good comprehensive conditions in all aspects, which is not entirely a bad thing for him.

The most important point is that if you go to guard, you can read all kinds of jade slips accumulated over tens of thousands of years on the spirit island and some secret places suitable for Jindan stage monks to explore one by one.

From this point of view, it is also a good opportunity for Zhao Shoushou, not to mention that as the owner of the island, he can get some third-order low-grade spirit pills and high-grade spirit stones as rewards every year.

"Forget it, since that's the case, Mr. Zhao will go to explore the spirit island and guard it for a hundred years. If everything goes well, maybe he can be promoted to the second level of Jindan smoothly." Zhao Shoushou murmured, and the expression on his face became more and more determined.

In addition, judging from the simple information on the summoning talisman of the expedition team, they also suffered a lot of losses in response to the tide of sea beasts. It is impossible to say that the last monk guarding the golden core would be severely injured because of this.

After tidying up the cave, Zhao Shoushou's figure had disappeared again before he had time to retreat, and the new goal was to explore the location of Lingdao.

The location where Zhao Shoushou was located was completely different from the expedition to Spirit Island. The distance between the two sides was nearly [-] nautical miles. Even with the Golden Core Stage cultivation base, it was not an easy task to cross such a vast sea area.

On the vast sea between the two spirit islands, there are still a large number of powerful third-order sea beasts entrenched, and it will be a big test if they want to pass through their territory smoothly.

If he encounters some third-tier low-grade sea beasts with similar strength, he will naturally not let go of the opportunity to hunt them down, which is also a good income for him.

Chapter 524 Panic Expedition to Spirit Island

After all, Zhao Shoushou also hopes to have a suitable opportunity to further hone his combat power and stimulate his own potential. Sometimes only in the most dangerous battles can he gain new insights. This is what most monks use to motivate themselves Way.

"Congealing Water Jue" is a practice that has been passed down for an unknown period of time. Naturally, there is a stable inheritance of treasures. Unfortunately, for some unknown reason, it has never been able to comprehend the mystery of it.

Zhao Shoushou also hopes that through this journey of [-] nautical miles and some fierce battles, he can gain some insight, which can be regarded as increasing his own background and combat effectiveness from another aspect.

"There is a big crab with not low combat power entrenched here, and the safety of the cave is safe in a short time." Looking at a silver-white third-rank low-grade big crab entrenched on the bottom of the sea not far away, there is no desire to do anything. .

This silvery-white crab is the latest new overlord to occupy this sea area after the fall of the three sea snakes. Although its combat effectiveness is good, it has a natural defect in the sensitivity of smell.

Under the hiding of the third-tier low-grade rotten water-transforming blood spirit array, the cave is still safe and sound, so Zhao Shoushou is naturally quite satisfied with this new neighbor, otherwise he has already killed him, how can he continue to let it here Enjoy such a sea area leisurely and leisurely?

"I hope that when Mr. Zhao returns, the cave will still be safe and sound." After muttering to himself, his figure had disappeared without a trace.

The big crab entrenched on the bottom of the sea not far away looked around with bewildered eyes, but found nothing. It lowered its head and buried it in the mud to rest, as if it had never noticed that a strange monk had appeared here.

Two days later, Zhao Shoushou had already appeared [-] nautical miles away, looking at the rising sea in the distance, the expression on his face became more and more serious.

This sea area is a nest of large groups of piranhas. The leader should be two low-rank third-rank sea beasts. From the perspective of individual strength alone, he is fearless, but there are more than [-] first- and second-rank piranhas. It is to give him real pressure.

Moreover, the sea area they occupy is quite extensive. If you choose to detour, you may also need to pass through some dangerous places and powerful sea beasts, which is not the best choice.

Sea beasts that can guarantee the safety of their own territory under the continuous invasion of a large number of piranhas are certainly not easy people, and it is also a severe test if they want to cross.

After comprehensive calculation, compared with unknown opponents and piranhas, although their degree of danger is not small, relatively speaking, they are not invincible.

What's more, such a large number of piranhas are entrenched, and there must be some precious spiritual herbs in their core positions. Although piranhas are omnivorous sea beasts, they mainly rely on various blood food, but they don't have much for various spiritual herbs. interest, especially some high-grade piranhas.

Under normal circumstances, under the protection of some huge piranha groups, there are some spiritual grasses growing. Now that there is a suitable opportunity at this time, Zhao Shoushou will naturally not give up.

As for the advantages and threats beyond the number of piranhas, he already has suitable countermeasures. The number of second-order lower magenta flying ants that have been cultivated for many years has also exceeded ten thousand. Under the protection of these little guys, they are heading straight to the center. The key point is to use the thunderbolt method to kill two low-rank piranhas of the third rank.

"Raise soldiers for a thousand days and use them for a time. When will you wait if you don't come out at this time? Red-spotted flying ants, cormorants, order" I only heard an order, accompanied by a buzzing sound, countless red-spotted flying ants Under the command of the female worm, it bravely rushed towards the piranha colony not far away.
