After five days of sailing at sea, Xingluo Island, thousands of miles away from Yaojiang City, finally loomed in sight.
On the deck of a cargo ship.
Lu Youcai pointed to an island in sight, turned his head happily and said to everyone: "Everyone, that is Xingluo Island, we are here!"
After five days of wandering at sea, everyone, especially the seven young boys, showed joy on their faces.
That is Fairy Island!
Once you go there, you can cultivate and become an immortal!
With a beautiful vision for the future, the seven teenagers only felt that the future was bright.
They have no idea that if they want to enter Yaoyuan Taoist Academy to study, they still have to cultivate spiritual fields for the Xianxia sect for five years or breed spiritual beads and spiritual shells for five years.
As the cargo ship slowly approaches the port of Xingluo Island.
Su Ming, who had been drifting at sea for five days, finally set foot on land.
To him, the cargo ship used by mortals was too slow. It only took five days to sail a mere thousand miles.
On land, his paper puppets could travel thousands of miles in just a few hours.
"It's really too slow."
Su Ming sighed in his heart.
Lu Youcai, who was on the side, led seven children with spiritual roots off the boat and said with emotion: "This cargo ship is really incomparable to the spiritual boat driven by the monks, it is really like a turtle crawling.
Brother, if we buy a spiritual boat sometime, wouldn’t it be much more convenient to travel between Yaojiang City and Xingluo Island in the future?”
Hearing this, Lu Youwu smiled and cursed: "Come on, the spirit boat is fast, but what we brothers do is to find mortal children with spiritual roots on the island. Are children with spiritual roots so easy to find in Yaojiang City?
?”
"That's true."
Lu Youcai touched the back of his head in embarrassment.
Su Ming and Gong Xiaocai looked at each other, took a step forward and asked, "I wonder what the spiritual boat that fellow Taoist Lu mentioned is?"
"Oh, it's a special large-scale magic weapon. It is engraved with some formations on a ship, and then driven by spiritual stones, so that it can sail extremely fast in the sea.
The distance from Yaojiang City to Xingluo Island can be reached in a few hours at most."
Hearing this, Su Ming's heart moved slightly.
It takes a few hours to arrive at a distance of thousands of miles, and this speed is not much slower than his paper man carrying a sedan chair.
Sure enough, even if Qi-training monks cannot fly with weapons like Foundation-building monks, they can still travel much faster than ordinary people.
Several people marched on the ground paved with boulders at the port pier, walking step by step towards the island.
Lu Youcai introduced: "Yaoyuan Taoist Temple will have to wait until half a year to recruit people this year. I am afraid that fellow Taoist Su will have to stay in our Xingluo Island for half a year."
Hear this.
Su Ming just smiled slightly, while Gong Xiaocai's pretty face showed a hint of joy.
Follow the crowd to the end of the pier.
The first thing you see is a huge square.
Around the square, there are huge stone pillars that are held by several people. On the stone pillars, there is an iron chain as thick as an adult's arm.
Below the stone pillar, there are six bronze mirrors placed. The mirror surface of the bronze mirror is slightly tilted, facing the same place as the stone pillar.
Most of these stone pillars are empty, but there are three stone pillars with three naked people tied to them.
The three people were scorched by the sunlight concentrated by the bronze mirror, and the intense high temperature made the air slightly distorted.
These three people are all monks in the Qi training stage, two of them are already in a trance, and the last one is shouting curses.
The two people who were in a trance had low cultivation levels, only in the middle stage of Qi training, and the one who was still yelling and cursing was a monk in the late stage of Qi training.
Seeing this, Su Ming pointed to the three people who were tied to the stone pillar and roasted, and asked the two Lu Youcai brothers: "I wonder what crime these three people have committed to deserve such torture?"
Lu Youcai glanced at the direction of Su Ming's finger, with an angry look on his face, and said: "These three people are pirate cultivators at sea. They must have been caught red-handed by our Xingluo Island cultivators."
pirate!
Su Ming was shocked.
But he soon realized that this was the Canglan Sea, not Lizhou.
Even in Lizhou, there will only be more pirates than Canglan Hai.
But the difference between the two is that almost no one takes care of the illegal repairs in Lizhou.
In Lanzhou, not only did the Xianxia Sect severely crack down on such bandit cultivators, but even ordinary casual cultivators could not tolerate such rogue cultivators. If caught, they would be tortured until death.
Just like this Xingluo Island, a square was built directly at the entrance to the island. In addition to being specifically used to punish illegal cultivators, it was also a deterrent to the monks who set foot on the island, serving as a warning to the monkeys.
Su Ming admitted that although this method was harsh, the effect was undoubtedly good.
This can be seen from the fact that there are so many stone pillars in the square, but only three stone pillars are in use.
Su Ming only glanced at the stone pillar focused by the bronze mirror and knew that the monks tied to the stone pillar would probably have to endure hundreds of degrees of heat all the time.
A mortal with this kind of high temperature would probably die within a few breaths.
However, during the Qi training period, monks not only have true energy to protect their bodies, but their physical bodies are also much stronger than ordinary people. How can they be able to support themselves on a stone pillar for several days.
Seeing Su Ming's silence, Lu Youwu on the side couldn't help but remind him: "In the Yaoyuan Water Realm, no, I should say in the entire Lanzhou realm, you must not be obsessed with being a pirate cultivator. Once discovered, you will definitely be executed by the Xianxia Sect.
!”
Speaking of this, Lu Youwu sighed, "Speaking of which, Xianxia Sect is quite good for casual cultivators like us. As long as we cultivate the spiritual fields for five years, we will have the opportunity to directly enter the Taoist temple to practice.
If you have excellent qualifications and practice hard, you will be able to join the Xianxia Sect in one step, and your future will be limitless.
Even if you take 10,000 steps back and are eliminated by the Taoist Academy, as long as you are not lazy, you can earn enough resources for cultivation whether it is planting spiritual fields or cultivating spiritual pearls and spiritual shells.
Why bother to be that pirate who is despised by everyone?"
Lu Youwu's words were not only a warning to the seven children, but also to Su Ming and Su Ming.
He knew that Su Ming was from Lizhou. Since Lizhou was bordering the Dayuan Kingdom, he had heard about the "simple" practice there, so he couldn't help but remind Su Ming.
Hearing the meaning of the other party's words, Su Ming immediately expressed his stance: "Theft of repairs is harmful to nature and harms the law. Everyone can punish it!"
"That's exactly what it means."
Lu Youcai and Lu Youwu nodded with satisfaction.
After passing through the giant square, everyone finally officially set foot on the island.
Lu Youcai pointed to the seven children and said, "My two brothers have to deliver business first, so I'll take my leave first."
Lu Youwu smiled and said: "Fellow Daoist Su, if you only live here for half a year, you can rent a cave on the island. This can save a lot of spiritual stones."
"Thank you two fellow Taoists!"
Su Ming solemnly bowed his hands to the two of them, and then took out a spiritual talisman, "This is my communication talisman. When my brother and sister settle down, I will treat you two to a drink one day."
"Haha, okay, we two brothers are just waiting for this banquet with Fellow Daoist Su."
With that said, the two Lu Youcai brothers waved to Su Ming and Gong Xiaocai, and left with the seven children.
"The monks from Lanzhou are really honest and enthusiastic, much better than the monks from Lizhou."
On the side, Gong Xiaocai looked at the backs of the two Lu brothers and murmured.
Su Ming knew what she wanted to say, so he shook his head and said: "The cultivation atmosphere in Lanzhou is so good, and the Xianxia Sect takes the greatest credit, unlike Lingbao Mountain in Lizhou, which ignores the casual cultivators."
