Chapter 620: Successful Occupation

[Water-avoiding golden-eyed beast] is a very rare beast. This beast is good at the magical powers of gold and water. It usually lives on the island land and only goes to the sea to hunt when it is hunting.

This strange beast is full of treasures, and its value is no less than that of a dragon of the same level. What’s even better is that [Water-avoiding Golden Eyed Beast] also has the talent of treasure hunting, and likes to collect various treasures and hide them in its lair.

Moreover, the lair of a [water-avoiding golden-eyed beast] is usually located on a high-quality spiritual vein. For a fifth-level high-grade [water-avoiding golden-eyed beast], the lair of the spiritual veins will definitely not be lower than a fifth-level high-grade spiritual vein.

Knowing this, it is not difficult to understand why Zhou Yang fell in love with this task of teaming up to find someone to hunt down the [Water-avoiding Golden Eyed Beast].

To him, the reward for hunting the [Water-avoiding Golden-Eyed Beast] is not important. What is important is the spiritual vein where the [Water-avoiding Golden-Eyed Beast]'s lair is located.

According to the information revealed in the mission, the [water-avoiding golden-eyed beast] is located in the "Ocean of Tianlan".

As far as Zhou Yang knew, this "Tianlan Outer Sea" was actually the "inner sea" of the overseas immortal world before the "Jiaolong Rebellion" thousands of years ago.

The current name "Tianlan Waihai" was later named by overseas monks in the world of immortality to commemorate the top sect "Tianlan Sect" that perished in that war.

Because it is a lost area, although there are still many monks in the overseas world of immortality who will venture to the "Tianlan Outer Sea", there are not many who dare to live there for a long time to practice, let alone establish a sect.

Therefore, if he could really kill the [Water-avoiding Golden-Eyed Beast], Zhou Yang might not have the chance to occupy the spiritual vein where the [Water-avoiding Golden-Eyed Beast]'s lair was afterwards.

His eyes stayed on the mission request for a while, and he remembered the words "Thunder Whale Island" deeply in his heart, and then continued to look at other missions.

Two days later, Zhou Yang left [Jinguifang City] with the rising sun in the east, and returned to the underwater cave where his daughter Jiang Yufeng temporarily lived.

When he returned to the cave, Jiang Fengxian had not returned yet. He waited for nearly half a month before he returned.

Seeing that Jiang Fengxian came back safely, he finally felt relieved and couldn't help but smile and asked: "Fengxian, you came back so late, did you get something big?"

Unexpectedly, Jiang Fengxian rolled her eyes in annoyance and said: "How can there be any big gain? It's been so late. Isn't it because some blind guys saw a female cultivator walking alone outside and had bad thoughts?

, I had no choice but to kill them, and took a long detour before I dared to come back!"

Her natural beauty is hard to give up. Even if she uses a mask to pretend to be an ordinary-looking woman, she is still a peacock among the chickens. Her temperament is very eye-catching.

In addition, as she said herself, a lone female cultivator is always more likely to be targeted than a male cultivator.

When Zhou Yang heard her words, he knew that she must have taken care of everything, so he didn't ask any more questions. He just nodded and said: "This is a mistake on my part. I should have known that the customs in the overseas world of immortality are worse than those in the legend."

If there is chaos, you and I should act together."

"Forget it, let's act together. You and I, a high-level monk couple, appear, which arouses suspicion. The Yulong family has put your and my portraits on the wanted list of the Seventy-two Island Alliance. They are really willing to do so.

, in order to catch the three of you and me, we even took out treasures such as the sixth-level magic weapon and the sixth-level elixir as bounty rewards!"

Jiang Fengxian shook her head and spoke of being wanted in a rather resentful tone.

Of course she hated it, because the introduction about her on the wanted list was full of slanderous words, describing her as a heinous person who betrayed the sect and harmed her fellow sects. She saw such a confusing thing,

How can I not be angry.

Zhou Yang heard her talking about this matter, but he smiled coldly and said: "The more they spend money, the more they can do nothing to us. Let them remember this account first, and one day we will let them know."

They got everything back with interest!"

Jiang Fengxian naturally thought so in her heart, but thinking about the strength of the Yulong family, she felt discouraged again.

What she has to admit is that even if she and Zhou Yang successfully conceive a baby, unless they both become late-stage Nascent Soul monks in the future, it will be impossible to shake up the behemoth of the Yulong family.

The more she thought about it, the more frustrated she became. She couldn't help but take a deep breath, suppress the depressed mood, shook her head slightly and said: "Forget it, let's not talk about it anymore, Zhou Lang, have you gained anything from going to [Jinguifang City]?"

"I've gained a little bit, but I don't know if it's feasible."

Zhou Yang said, telling the tasks he saw on the task wall and his thoughts.

After listening to his words, Jiang Fengxian pondered for a moment, then nodded and said: "I also saw the mission, but the [Water-Avoiding Golden-Eyed Beast] is an extremely extraordinary beast. I'm afraid it's already in the [Tianlan Waihai]."

The demon king next to me has made a decision in his mind. Those people who hunt this kind of demon beast can leave directly if they succeed. If we occupy the spiritual veins there, we will easily be used as scapegoats!"

"Fengxian, your worries are not unreasonable, but in our current situation, it is impossible to achieve our goal without taking any risks. I think this matter is still worth trying. At least we can contact the monk who issued the mission first.

He got some more detailed information from his mouth.”

Zhou Yang nodded first, confirming Jiang Fengxian's concerns, then shook his head and expressed his opinion.

What he said made sense. After hearing what he said, Jiang Fengxian hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, let's try it."

So, after some discussion, the two of them explained the situation to their daughter Jiang Yufeng, who was studying the art of refining weapons in seclusion in the cave, and then together they rushed to the so-called Thunder Whale Island with the Fish Dragon Shuttle.

Thunder Whale Island and Golden Turtle Island are separated by seven or eight hundred thousand miles. They are also important members of the Seventy-Two Island Alliance in the overseas immortal world. The owner of the island is a Nascent Soul Stage monk who is a casual cultivator. It is said that he does not often stay on the island.

To practice, there are other hidden caves to live in.

The monks who manage Thunder Whale Island are several disciples of the Nascent Soul Stage monk. These people don't seem to have much business talent, so that even though the conditions of Thunder Whale Island are much better than those of Golden Turtle Island, the market business on the island is...

It's never been good.

And the monk who issued the mission was one of the disciples of the Nascent Soul Stage monk.

After Zhou Yang and Jiang Fengxian's envoy [Ichthyosaurus Shuttle] rushed to the waters near Thunder Whale Island, Zhou Yang asked Jiang Fengxian to stay in [Ichthyosaurus Shuttle] and hide at the bottom of the sea to wait, while he himself passed through [Illusion Orb] to disguise himself.

A fifth-level golden elixir monk rushed to Thunder Whale Island to meet with the monk who issued the mission.

[Phantom Orb] is indeed a very practical auxiliary magic weapon. The material for refining this object is a pearl produced by a strange sea beast [Mirage]. It is called [Mirage Pearl]. Its function is the same as that of Zhou Yang.

The [Illusion Cloak] I borrowed from the Yuqing Dao Sect in the Immortal Cultivation World of Liuyun Continent is similar. Not only can it transform its appearance to make it difficult for the Golden Core Stage monks to recognize it, but it can also simulate and change the monk's aura.

Zhou Yang also had this item in hand, so he dared to take the risk to have close contact with other golden elixir stage monks.

He went to Thunder Whale Island, followed the clues left by the monk who issued the mission, and visited a cave on the island.

Outside this cave, less than two-quarters of an hour after he sent out the transmission talisman, the door of the cave opened from the inside, and a tall man with thick eyebrows and big eyes came out.

This big man's cultivation level is extremely high. He is the same as Zhou Yang's eighth-level golden elixir. No wonder he dares to attack the [Water-avoiding Golden Eyes Beast], a fifth-level high-level monster.

"Fellow Taoist, I've invited you. I'm Huang Yi. I'm here for the mission of hunting the [Water-avoiding Golden Eyed Beast] issued by fellow Taoist. Have you not asked fellow Taoist Gao's name yet?"

After Zhou Yang and the big man looked at each other for a while, they quickly gave each other their names and explained the purpose of their visit.

Seeing this, the big man also stopped and continued to look at him, nodded slightly and responded: "It turns out to be fellow Taoist Huang Yi. Fellow Taoist, you are polite. A certain family named Ruan Mingxiong is indeed the one who issued the mission to hunt the [Water-avoiding Golden Eyed Beast].

.”

After speaking, he raised his hand sideways and made a "please" gesture and said: "Outside is not the place to talk. Fellow Daoist Huang, please come in first. Let's talk about this in detail while drinking in the cave."

"Then I will disturb fellow Taoist Ruan."

Zhou Yang said and followed him into the cave.

Entering the cave, after the two of them were seated respectively, the big man named Ruan Xiong slightly moved his lips and said a few words, and immediately two young female cultivators with good faces and figures came out of the living room carrying wine bottles and wine glasses.

He came in, filled the wine glasses for the two of them, and then stood aside to accompany them.

"Come, Fellow Daoist Huang has come from afar. Ruan wants to toast Fellow Daoist."

The big man Ruan Xiong raised his wine glass and bowed to Zhou Yang. After saying something, he raised his head and drank the wine in one gulp.

"Fellow Taoist Ruan has given you such warm hospitality. Mr. Huang is honored to have you, and I would like to give you a toast as well."

Zhou Yang looked at the amber spirit wine in the cup, smiled softly, picked it up and drank it down in one gulp, then turned the cup upside down and put it back on the plate next to it.

Seeing this, Ruan Xiong, a big man, had a strange look in his eyes. He couldn't help but look at him and said, "Aren't fellow Taoists Huang afraid that Ruan will poison the wine?"

When Zhou Yang heard this, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "Hahaha, fellow Taoist Ruan is joking. Huang and fellow Taoist have never met before, and there is no conflict of interest. What reason does fellow Taoist have to do this?"

After saying this, he straightened up his face, looked at the big man with a stern face and said, "Besides, with Ruan Daoyou's cultivation, if we really want to deal with Huang, we can easily win without poisoning, so why bother."

When Ruan Xiong heard what he said, he burst out laughing: "Hahaha, Fellow Daoist Huang is really refreshing and honest. Ruan likes to talk to such straightforward people like Fellow Daoist."

After he stopped laughing, he waved his hand and said, "Okay, you guys should step back first."

But he said it to the two female nuns who were accompanying him.

After the two accompanying maids obeyed the order and left, he nodded to Zhou Yang and said: "Fellow Daoist Huang is so refreshing, Ruan will no longer test anything. If you have any questions you want to ask, you can speak frankly now."

Okay, after the fellow Taoist has finished asking questions, Ruan will discuss with the fellow Taoist about going to sea."

"Since Fellow Taoist Ruan said so, Huang is not polite. Dare I ask Fellow Daoist Ruan if he has any evidence proving the existence of the [Water-Avoiding Golden-Eyed Beast]? And if it is true as Fellow Taoist said in the mission information, [Avoiding the Golden Eyed Beast]

The water-gold-eyed beast lives in the open sea. After we hunt it, we will definitely alarm the demon king there. Have you thought about how to deal with this matter? Finally, if Huang joins the team, you are willing to pay.

What reward?”

Zhou Yang finished his question in one breath, then stared at Ruan Xiong with bright eyes, waiting for his answer.

Facing his gaze, Ruan Xiong said with a calm smile: "Fellow Daoist Huang asked these questions well, then let Ruan answer them one by one for you."

"This is the image of the [water-avoiding golden-eyed beast] that Ruan recorded with a photo-taking bead. Fellow Taoists will know the authenticity at a glance."

"As for the demon king behind the [Water-avoiding Golden Eyed Beast], Taoist friends don't have to worry about this. The reason why Ruan found someone to hunt it now was because he learned that the demon king had an affair with a man decades ago.

A senior at the Nascent Soul Stage had a great battle and has been sleeping in his lair recently to recuperate from his injuries. Even if he finds out that the [Water-Avoiding Golden-Eyed Beast] has been killed, he will probably not take action to risk the recurrence of his injuries."

"Finally, let's talk about rewards. The basic reward given by Ruan is 250,000 low-grade spiritual stones. Regardless of whether the trip goes smoothly or not, this spiritual stone will be handed over to fellow Taoists after arriving at the destination. As for more rewards,

Then it depends on the contribution of fellow Taoists in the battle, and this part of the reward will only be given if the action is successful!"

While Ruan Xiong was answering Zhou Yang's question, he waved his hand and threw the photo beads in his mouth to Zhou Yang.

Zhou Yang stretched out his hand to catch the shadow bead, input a bit of mana to activate it, and soon saw the figure of the [water-avoiding golden-eyed beast].

On the blue sea, I saw a strange beast that looked like a unicorn, with a lion's head, a dragon's mouth, fish scales, an ox's tail, tiger's claws, and ox's horns, walking on the waves.

This strange beast has a pair of majestic golden eyes, the scales on its body are as blue as the sea water, the head and four claws, and the hair on the tail are golden, and there are two backward golden rhino horns on the top of its head.

.

Judging from its huge size of more than thirty feet long, this [water-avoiding golden-eyed beast] is definitely a fifth-level monster, even if it is not a fifth-level high-grade monster.

"Yes, it is indeed the fifth level [Water-avoiding Golden Eyed Beast]."

Zhou Yang nodded, closed the image released by the image bead, and handed it back to Ruan Xiong.

Then he looked down and thought, and fell silent.

When Ruan Xiong saw this, he didn't rush him. He just reached out and picked up the wine bottle from the table in front of him and poured himself a glass of spiritual wine. He poured it by himself and waited patiently.

After a quarter of an hour or two passed like this, Zhou Yang raised his head and looked at him and said: "Huang still has some doubts about the reward mentioned by fellow Taoist Ruan. You and I both know that [Water-avoiding Golden Eyed Beast] has a talent for treasure hunting and likes to collect.

Treasures, I wonder if those treasures will be included in the distributable rewards? There are also the spiritual veins where the [Water-avoiding Golden Eyed Beast]’s lair is located, and the resources on the spiritual veins, how do fellow Daoist Ruan plan to allocate them?”

Hearing his words, Ruan Xiong's face suddenly condensed, and then he smiled and said: "Hey, that's a good question, Fellow Daoist Huang. The treasures collected by the [Water-avoiding Golden Eyed Beast] will naturally belong to Ruan.

Otherwise, Ruan is providing both reward and information, what is his purpose?"

After he paused for a moment, he continued: "As for the spiritual vein where this beast's lair is located, although it is also a fifth-level high-grade spiritual vein with rich spiritual energy, it is in the open sea after all. Of course, it can only be given up, or the Zodiac

If friends want to occupy it, Ruan has no problem with it. Ruan can also let fellow Taoists discover and pick the resources on their own spiritual veins!"

"Fellow Daoist Ruan, this condition is a bit difficult for Huang!"

Zhou Yang looked at Ruan Xiong with a troubled expression. He changed his previous cheerfulness and appeared hesitant.

Seeing this, Ruan Xiong also lost his previous politeness and said with a cold face: "If Fellow Taoist Huang feels embarrassed, Ruan will not force it and is not afraid to tell fellow Taoist that Ruan has already found four fellow Taoists who are willing to go with him.

Even if Daoist Huang doesn't come to visit today, Ruan will be ready to leave in half a month."

"this……"

Zhou Yang's face changed uncertainly. After hesitating for a long time, he nodded with a wry smile and said, "Okay, Fellow Daoist Ruan has won. Just accept Fellow Daoist Huang's conditions!"

When Ruan Xiong heard what he said, his originally cold expression quickly regained his enthusiasm. He immediately smiled heartily and said: "Hahaha, since Fellow Daoist Huang agreed, he is a fellow Taoist. Ruan will tell you about this trip first."

This will give you an idea of ​​the situation."

We are all human beings who have lived for hundreds of years. If we can't even control our emotional changes, then we have lived so many years in vain.

As a result, the two people quickly forgot about the previous discomfort and resumed their previous enthusiastic state and started talking happily.

Half a day later, Zhou Yang left Ruan Xiong's cave and rented a separate courtyard in a fairy house on Thunder Whale Island to stay temporarily.

During the conversation with Ruan Xiong, Zhou Yang had already learned the names and cultivation levels of the other four monks mentioned by the other party, and after the other party confirmed that he was participating in the operation, he had spread the news to those people and agreed to do so in half a month.

Then set off to the "Tianlan Outer Sea" to hunt the [Water-avoiding Golden Eyed Beast].

At this time, after Zhou Yang settled in the Xianzhan, he immediately sent a message to Jiang Fengxian through the [Echo Conch], asking him to send the slower [Ichdragon Shuttle] to the "Tianlan Outer Sea" to wait for him at any time.

"It's a bit strange. Ruan Xiong's performance in other aspects is fine, but he agreed to my joining the team without asking about my origins in detail."

"Did he forget about it, or did he have other plans?"

In the Immortal Inn, Zhou Yang recalled the meeting and conversation between him and Ruan Xiong today, and soon discovered this doubtful point that he had ignored.

He had a ulterior motive in his heart. When talking to Ruan Xiong, he deliberately ignored it and didn't even mention it. Even at the beginning of the visit, he deliberately announced his name to start the conversation and avoid the other party from asking more about it.

But Ruan Xiong, as the owner and the initiator of the operation, actually did not ask about his origins in detail during the whole process. This is too abnormal.

Before Zhou Yang came, he took great pains to forge an origin for himself for this matter. He still played the role of a golden elixir monk who came from the world of immortal cultivation in Donghua Continent to the overseas world of immortality. The reason was that he came here to be a high-level monster hunter.

, earn practice resources.

In order to fit this persona, he had previously bargained with Ruan Xiong over the issue of remuneration.

But now, the origins he had painstakingly forged for himself and the persona he created seemed all in vain.

"Let's take a look first. If everyone is here half a month later and Ruan Xiong hasn't asked about this matter, it means that he is indeed harboring evil intentions!"

Zhou Yang glanced in the direction of Ruan Xiong's cave with a deep expression and didn't think about it any more.

Little did he know that in the cave, Ruan Xiong was also reviewing and analyzing today's meeting with him.

"There is something wrong with this person surnamed Huang. Today he announced his name but did not tell his origin. First of all, his sincerity is questionable."

"However, he later cared so much about the reward and showed so much attention to the action plan, and he seemed to really want to participate in this mission. It was a bit contradictory!"

"But why do I always feel that the aura on his body has a vague and illusory meaning? Could it be that he didn't show his true colors when he saw me?"

"No, no, no, I must be overthinking this. If he has that kind of ability, how can he value the reward of hunting [water-avoiding golden-eyed beast]?"

"No matter what, even if he really has ulterior motives, once he gets there, there won't be any trouble, so I'd better not alert him."

In the cave, Ruan Xiong thought for a while with gleaming eyes, then suddenly narrowed his eyes, a cold light flashed in his eyes, sneered, and stopped thinking about what happened during the day.

Half a month passed quickly. On this day, after receiving the summons from Ruan Xiong, Zhou Yang immediately went to the opponent's cave, where he met four other teammates besides himself and Ruan Xiong.

Among these four people, the one with the highest cultivation level is a silver-haired old man with seventh level of golden elixir named Wei Tao. He is the ancestor of a family that cultivates immortals. His life span is less than a hundred years.

Then there is a young man in yellow clothes with the sixth level of golden elixir, named Huang Yunxing, who comes from Dongjimen, a middle-level sect. Although he looks young, the vicissitudes of time can be seen in his eyes.

Zhou Yang judged from this that this person probably took some elixirs such as "Ding Yan Dan" when he was young. He only looked young, but his actual age was probably not that much younger.

The third monk is a beautiful woman wearing a white palace dress. Her name is Qian Bingyun. She has a fifth-level Jindan cultivation level and is a casual cultivator.

The fourth monk is a middle-aged man in white clothes with a long sword hanging from his waist. His name is Liu Xingping. He is also a fifth-level cultivator of Jindan. He and Qian Bingyun, the woman in white skirt, are dual monks. The two are cultivating immortals overseas.

They have a good reputation and are the couple of gods and immortals that many middle and low-level monks envy.

"My dear Huang Yi, I have just come from the world of immortal cultivation in Donghua Continent to the overseas world of immortality less than ten years ago. If I behave inappropriately on the way, I hope all fellow Taoists will bear with me!"

When it was Zhou Yang's turn to introduce himself, he bowed to several people with a humble face and briefly introduced his background in a polite tone.

Hearing his words, others had no reaction. Ruan Xiong already said with a look of surprise: "Ruan forgot to ask last time. I didn't expect that Fellow Daoist Huang came all the way from the world of immortal cultivation in Donghua Continent. This time

It’s quite rare!”

"Haha, fellow Taoist Ruan, don't blame me. Last time, Mr. Huang was also afraid that his fellow Taoists would be prejudiced because of my new arrival in the world of overseas immortal cultivation, so he deliberately didn't say anything more. I would like to apologize to my fellow Taoists first."

Zhou Yang laughed, and bowed his hands to Ruan Xiong in a dignified manner as an apology.

Seeing this, Ruan Xiong shook his head repeatedly and said: "Fellow Daoist Huang, you are worrying too much. Ruan has also traveled to the world of immortal cultivation in Donghua Continent. He is deeply touched by the prosperity there and yearns for it. If he knows where Daoist Huang is from, he can only

If you are very respectful, how can you have any prejudice?"

What he said was beautiful, but Zhou Yang just listened to it casually and didn't really believe it in his heart.

It is human nature to be xenophobic, and immortal cultivators are no exception. This can be seen from the changes in the eyes of several other monks after hearing his self-reported origin.

What Ruan Xiong just said was not so much a message to him as a reminder to the other four people not to cause any further problems.

Obviously, the four people also understood Ruan Xiong's hint, and quickly controlled the displeasure in their hearts, and started chatting and laughing with Zhou Yang.

In this way, a group of six people chatted in Ruan Xiong's cave for half a day. After each exchanged and revealed some of the methods they were good at, they left Thunder Whale Island under the leadership of Ruan Xiong and went straight to the "Tianlan Offshore".

go.
