Zhonglang, a small country that looks no different from other southeastern countries on the surface, has never had a shining point in the history of Splendid, whether in the mortal world or the world of cultivation.
Its only characteristic is that it is a coastal country. It occupies an insignificant section of about two hundred miles in the southeastern region and the long coastline of Tianjieyang. Also, because the terrain is relatively remote, it has never been of concern to humans or sea tribes.
place.
Since it is a coastal country, it has several affiliated islands. Among the islands belonging to Zhonglang, there is a special island called Silk Island.
This is a small island, only a dozen nautical miles away from the continental shelf. There is no grass growing on the island and no living things. This is just because it is an active volcanic island.
It does not erupt, but the crater is filled with smoke all year round, proving that there is still magma moving inside.
It is precisely because of this characteristic that mortals cannot survive on the island at all. Only occasionally monks who practice fire come to the island to practice their skills. However, because its volcanic operation is not strong, there are actually more in the Tianji Ocean.
A better place to practice the fire element. Because it is too close to the mainland, it is easy to be harassed by outsiders, and it is not a very good place to practice.
A figure flew over from the direction of Mo Island. It was graceful and graceful, looking forward to life, and fully embodying Kun Xiu's enchanting figure.
Her name is Lake Taoist, and her cultivation of Jindan is not surprising in itself, but her status in Zhonglang Taoism is somewhat special.
The distance of more than ten nautical miles was just passing by, and the figure continued to fly inland. After dozens of miles, he arrived at a prosperous town. He did not enter the town, but hovered over the town for a while, and then fell into a mulberry forest.
go.
In the mulberry forest, there were two monks, a man and a woman, sitting cross-legged. When they saw the Hu Taoist coming through the forest, the female monk stood up. The two female monks looked very happy to see each other.
"After ten years of separation, my sister's style remains the same." Dong Fangfei's eyes sparkled.
"After ten years of hard work, my sister is as beautiful as ever." Hu Taoist held her hand. When the two girls met, it seemed they had countless things to say.
Both of them are core members of the Kun Xiu Handkerchief Society in the southeastern cultivation world. They have similar interests. One has extraordinary strength, and the other has a backer.
Dong Xianzi was the one who was very strong in her own right, and she had a lot of potential contacts under her long skirt, and later she even got a big fish; Taoist Hu was mediocre in strength, but he had an amazing Taoist companion, the one who had been there for three years
Zhonglang, the real person who achieved Yuanying in the past.
With the changes in the Splendid Continent, the nature of the Handkerchief Society is also changing. In line with the current situation, the two of them are the top figures among them. If we talk about their connections in detail, they are even stronger than most of the sects. That is really the root cause.
Densely covered, pervasive.
The two of them chatted until they got to the point where they had nothing to talk about. They finally set their sights on the handsome male cultivator who had been sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed not far away. This male cultivator really had a handsome face and was full of heroic spirit, even if
In the world of cultivation, which has always been very good-looking, he is also one of the top-notch ones.
The Hudao people secretly teased, "Sister, is this person your new friend? How is his ability? Can he do it?"
Dong Fangfei curled her lips, "It's just a skin. I wouldn't have been tempted by such a thing a hundred years ago. I heard my sister said that Zhonglang needed a human stake, so I brought him here..."
Dong Fangfei received a private message from this good sister three years ago, entrusting her to help find capable casual cultivators, saying that Zhonglang Taoism could use them.
Such a request is a bit excessive. If the relationship between the two were not really close, Fairy Dong would wonder if such a request was meant to harm her?
Practitioners pay great attention to cause and effect, and will never deliberately murder someone without involving their own major interests. The gain is completely outweighed by the loss, and there is also the risk of backlash.
In the world of cultivation, in order to explore the perfection of a certain skill, the limit of a certain magic circle, the effect of a certain elixir, the use of a certain artifact, etc., someone needs to get started personally. This process is full of dangers, and
It is a process that must be experienced to make progress in the world of cultivation.
All require monks to contribute.
For the sect, they are not willing to let their disciples take risks in particularly dangerous attempts, so a very special profession, human stakes, was born.
There are monks who are willing to take risks and try out new elixirs, new techniques, and new formations in order to win the extremely generous rewards given by the sect. Even if they risk their lives, it's just not the way of fighting, but the results and battles are not that great.
The difference is that if you fail, you will be injured, dead, and your path will be cut off.
There are still a large number of casual cultivators or small sect cultivators who are willing to take this risk just to earn themselves a good income.
These medicine testers, method testers, and formation testers are given a very misleading name in the world of cultivation, human piles.
The Hu Taoist looked at her meaningfully, "Did this guy offend my sister?"
Fairy Dong also didn’t hide the fact that “it’s a rubbish monk, but his strength is still good. Sister, I can’t recommend these friends from Splendid Continent to you. I’m afraid that if something goes wrong, they won’t be able to mix in this circle in the future, but now
People come from anchor chains, so there are not so many taboos."
In any case, even if the human stake is voluntary, specifically contacting this kind of thing will still cause obstacles in the minds of most monks, thinking that this is something that may affect their karma, and not many people are willing to provoke it.
The Taoist companion of Hu Taoist came to Yuanying three years ago. As a real Taoist, he has the obligation to help the sect find suitable human stakes. This is a test of the comprehensive strength of a Taoist. Unfortunately, the strength of Zhonglang Taoist is limited.
It was difficult to find a truly capable candidate, so Taoist Hu took the initiative to contact his friends in Handkerchief to relieve the Taoist couple's worries.
She not only contacted Fairy Dong, but also contacted many friends. Most of them were non-committal, and a few of the people introduced were of limited strength and could not be used.
It is very difficult to find a truly powerful person, because being powerful means that they have more ways to obtain resources. If it is not possible, they can join a certain cult. Why come here to sell themselves?
Fairy Dong has been silent for three years. She obviously cherishes feathers and doesn't want to be involved in such bad things. Now that she has sent a monk, it only proves that this sister Dong has no good intentions. I don't know how to offend the anchor chain monk.
She?
"Does my sister have any interactions with these anchor chain visitors?"
Fairy Dong sighed, "Sister, I should have heard about my situation. I was not on good terms with Fei Bai Ho Zi of the sect, so I had to go out to avoid trouble, so I went to Dali..."
Hu Taoist suddenly realized, "So that's it. I know there are many anchor chain monks gathered in Dali..."
