"But this is only limited to the competition to determine the top sixteen. After the top sixteen are determined, the fairy fruit will enter the next stage of competition. The specific competition method is different every time, and it is not necessarily a group competition.
mode, but our goal is the red mulberry fairy fruit. After successfully entering the top sixteen, it is not important whether we want to continue to compete for the ranking. In addition, since the competition to determine the top sixteen adopts a single game victory and elimination system,
As long as you lose once, you will be completely disqualified. Therefore, every island will recruit powerful casual cultivators at every Immortal Fruit Conference to ensure that there are capable candidates for every game." Xiying continued.
"What do you need me to do?" Yuan Ming asked.
"I have made arrangements in advance. At that time, we will represent a second-class island called Hongzhi Island to participate in the conference. With the strength of you and me, it is not difficult to win the championship, let alone just sneak into the top sixteen.
Can obtain trading qualifications." Xiying said confidently.
Yuan Ming heard that she had made all the arrangements and said no more, and briefly talked about the situation of Baidanfang.
"Yes, the profits from making incense are even attractive to the monks in the alchemy stage of Changchun Temple. It is not bad to use them to enhance the reputation of Baidanfang." When Xiying learned that Yuan Ming wanted to use the skills of making incense, he also agreed.
He nodded.
Yuan Ming felt the same but was suddenly startled.
"How did you know about this?" Yuan Ming asked in surprise.
"Huh, I naturally have my own intelligence channels. Speaking of which, you seem to have used one of the three Qingling transmission notes I gave you before. Although I had a sense here at the time, I couldn't hear you clearly due to the distance.
What you said at that time, counting the time, seems to be when you were in Leizhou, so what did you want to say at that time?" Xiying thought for a while and asked.
Yuan Ming recalled the scene at that time, with a hint of embarrassment on his face. He was too embarrassed to express his thoughts at the time, so he only said vaguely: "I met a disciple of Xi Cangqiong at that time, and I wanted to ask you if you have any way to break the illusion.
Not much else."
Xiying looked at Yuan Ming suspiciously. Fortunately, at this moment, Yan Siyun's voice suddenly came from outside the house.
"Fellow Daoist Yuan, Fellow Daoist Xi, is it convenient for me to go in now?"
Xiying glanced at Yuan Ming, saw him nodding, waved his hand, and opened the door again. Yan Siyun noticed this scene with her spiritual consciousness, and walked into the room, bowing to Yuan Ming and Xiying.
"I'm sorry to bother you, but my little sister just told me that fellow Taoist Yuan has a clever plan to attract business. I was anxious and wanted to ask in detail. Please forgive me." Yan Siyun said slowly.
"It doesn't matter, we just happened to talk about this matter. I have told your sister the general situation. If you have any questions, fellow Taoist Yan can ask directly." Yuan Ming raised his hand and motioned for Yan Siyun to sit down.
Yan Siyun nodded, and after sitting down, she asked directly: "I wonder if the spiritual incense Yuan Daoyou mentioned is difficult to make, how much is the required spiritual material worth, how much can the price be set, and its effectiveness is inferior to that of elixirs.
where?"
"It is not difficult to make spiritual incense. The threshold is much lower than that of alchemy. In terms of the spiritual materials used..." Yuan Ming continued talking.
He had had practical experience with these things before, so naturally the people present were no strangers to them. He did not hold back on himself, and directly told all the incense-making techniques he had mastered.
Yan Siyun listened silently, weighing the pros and cons of selling spiritual incense at the same time.
On the other side, Xiying yawned out of boredom, and then began to practice silently, showing no interest in what Yuan Ming said.
Yuan Ming and Yan Siyun discussed for a long time and finally finalized the details of selling spiritual incense.
"... In the past few days, please arrange your manpower and prepare the required spiritual materials. When Xiying and I come back from the Immortal Fruit Society, I will take some time to personally teach them how to make incense. Let's start with the spiritual incense from the Qi Refining Period.
It won't take long to get started." Yuan Ming said.
However, Yan Siyun was a little surprised when she heard this: "Are Fellow Daoist Yuan and Fellow Daoist Xi also going to attend the Immortal Fruit Club?"
"What do you mean by Fellow Taoist Yan, do you also want to participate in the Immortal Fruit Competition?" Yuan Ming asked doubtfully.
"Fellow Daoist Yuan misunderstood. During the Immortal Fruit Fair, all the major islands gathered on Fuso Island. As a grand event that only happens once in three hundred years, in addition to competitions, there will also be activities such as auctions. I originally wanted to take my little sister and
Some people from the workshop will go there to purchase spiritual materials and at the same time spread the reputation of Baidan Workshop. If we can take the opportunity to negotiate some business with other islands, that would be great." Yan Siyun explained.
"I see. Let's put the matter of the spiritual incense aside for now. You can also prepare it. Then we will set off together and it will be safer on the road." Yuan Ming nodded.
As he said that, he glanced at Xiying and wanted to ask her opinion.
Xiying noticed the gaze and came back to her senses. After listening to Yuan Ming explain the matter again, she waved her hand casually: "That's okay. Anyway, Hongzhi Island has already agreed. It doesn't matter if we go a few days later."
…
A few days later.
Thick gray clouds covered the sea, and heavy rain fell like a curtain, covering everything between heaven and earth. Big raindrops hit the sea, but before they hit the ground, they were swallowed up by the waves.
The strong wind roared, rolling up huge waves dozens of feet high, and rushed straight into the sky. It was so majestic that it seemed to tear the clouds apart.
And among the dark clouds, a bright white boat slowly passed through. Whether it was heavy rain or strong wind, before it touched the boat, it was separated by an invisible force and could not be contaminated at all.
On the bow of the small boat, Yuan Ming stood alone, his eyes scanning the surrounding scenery, and suddenly he raised his head to look at the horizon, his eyes fixedly lost in thought.
"What are you looking at?" Suddenly, Xiying came from behind him and asked casually.
"Look at the scenery." Yuan Ming came back to his senses and smiled.
Xiying walked up to him and looked at him, a little speechless: "What's so interesting about the storm?"
"The wind and waves in the depths of the East China Sea are much more violent than I imagined. Does this kind of scene often happen in the East China Sea?" Yuan Ming asked.
"It's not common, but it's not unusual either. Fuso Island is still in the inland sea, and in the outer sea deep in the East China Sea, the wind and waves are monstrous. The scene is much worse than this." Xiying shook his head.
"Inner sea? Outer sea?" Yuan Ming was startled. These two terms did not appear on the jade slips Yan Siyun gave him.
"The area with thousands of third-class islands, hundreds of second-class islands, and thirteen islands in the East China Sea is close to the land and has a relatively peaceful environment. It is called the inland sea; the sea area outside the inland sea is called the outer sea. The division of the inner and outer seas,
It was done by the demon-hunting monks of the East China Sea without authorization, and it rarely appears in the classics. Yan Siyun has only been in the East China Sea for a short time, so it is normal not to know about it." Xiying said.
"Have you ever been to the outer sea?" Yuan Ming asked.
"I went there once before with the seniors in the clan." Xiying looked into the distance.
"What's the situation outside?" Yuan Ming asked curiously.
"The environment there is much harsher than that of the inland sea. Huge waves, violent winds and thunderstorms are common, and there are also several more dangerous natural disasters such as the sea of fog and the singing demon. However, the spiritual materials in the sea there are also better than those in the inland sea, especially
There are many monsters, and there are many third-level and even fourth-level monsters. If the monks in the Danjie stage do not form groups or are led by the monks in the Nascent Soul stage, they will simply not be able to establish a foothold in the open sea." Xiying talked eloquently.
After hearing this, Yuan Ming couldn't help but become interested in the sea.
I really don’t know what it’s like in a sea area where even level 4 monsters often appear.
"The outer sea is where all kinds of resources in the East China Sea are concentrated. When the Immortal Fruit Festival is over, you and I might as well go there to have a look, hunt monsters and beasts, and accumulate some wealth. Don't forget that you have millions of spirit stones on your body. Those who have been haunted for many years
Almost all the demon-hunting monks in the outer sea have your worth." Xiying said again, eager to give it a try.
"Okay." Yuan Ming agreed readily.
With the strength of him and Xiying, there is no need to be afraid even if they encounter several level four monsters. He also has the treasure of Stealing Heaven Cauldron. If you cannot defeat them, you can just hide in them.
If a monster sees you stealing the Heavenly Cauldron, you don't have to worry about anything.
It's just that he is more interested in the overseas world than the outer sea.
"Xiying, beyond the outer sea, is the overseas world?" Yuan Ming asked.
"Not bad." Xiying nodded.
"I heard Master Shura say that the overseas world is not only dangerous, but also has strange treasures that are not found in the Yunhuang Continent. Are there any monks exploring the overseas world here in the East China Sea?" Yuan Ming asked.
"Of course there is." Xiying said.
"Really?" Yuan Ming was surprised.
"This group of people is called Tide Makers. They are very rare in number. As far as I know, there are only about ten people. Most of them are loners. Each Tide Maker has amazing strength. The first-class island forces in the East China Sea are not willing to provoke them at will.
." Xiying said with a solemn expression, and was quite wary of those who were making waves.
"Trendmaker? This title is quite novel." Yuan Ming said.
"The title of Tide Makers originated from a legendary alliance in the East China Sea thousands of years ago. The Tide Makers Alliance was composed of a group of monks who had the courage to explore the overseas world. They went deep into the overseas world several times and harvested many overseas treasures. In its heyday
The Nongchao San Alliance is very powerful, with as many as five or six Nascent Soul stage monks alone." Xiying said.
"Five or six Nascent Soul cultivators! The strength of this Chao San Alliance is almost comparable to that of a major cultivating sect." Yuan Ming said in surprise.
"Yes, at that time, even Fuso Island was afraid of the three points of the Nongtide Alliance, and deliberately tried to win over them in order to buy some treasures from the overseas world. Just walking along the river often, it was inevitable that the shoes would get wet, and the Nongtide Alliance would end up being broken.
After one trip to sea, there was no news again, and the whole group was destroyed. However, their deeds were passed down, and later the monks who explored overseas called themselves tidemakers." Xiying said calmly.
"That's it." Yuan Ming said.
"Although the Nongchao San Alliance was destroyed, it also triggered an upsurge of East China Sea monks to explore the overseas world. Before they appeared, the overseas world was a place of death for the Donghai monks, and no one dared to approach. The Nongchao San Alliance's
The harvest greatly stimulated some desperate monks in the East China Sea. Over the years, some tide-makers have appeared one after another, but they only dare to wander around the edges of the overseas world. They cannot compare with the tide-makers and the Master Shura.
." Xiying said.
