Time flies, and soon it is the rest period of Yaoyuan Taoist Temple.
To be precise, Xiu Mu in Yaoyuan Taoist Academy is not prepared for the academy's disciples, but for the academy's teachers.
After months of teaching, these foundation-building instructors also have their own things to be busy with.
Even if it is a sect mission, the Xianxia Sect will not oppress the outer disciples like this.
The rest period of Yaoyuan Taoist Temple is once a year and lasts for two months.
Tianshu Daofang City.
In a restaurant near the port.
Su Ming was wearing a blue gown and sat at a window seat, looking out at the spirit boats that were constantly coming and going.
Suddenly, Su Ming turned his head and saw Luo Xiao coming for an appointment. He stood up, smiled at him, cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations to Fellow Daoist Luo for your improvement in cultivation."
When Luo Xiao heard this, his face became even more joyful.
After half a year, he finally broke through from the sixth level of Qi training to the seventh level of Qi training, and his cultivation progressed much faster than he did on Star Luo Island.
"Same joy, I see that fellow Daoist Su is getting more and more sophisticated. I'm afraid he will break through to the ninth level of Qi training, right?"
Luo Xiao smiled mysteriously, "Qin Jiaoxi told me that you, fellow Taoist Su, are the most confident among our group to enter the Xianxia Sect."
Hearing this, Su Ming smiled and shook his head.
As if he sensed something, he tilted his head toward the window and said, "The one who is most confident about entering the Xianxia Sect is not Su."
Luo Xiao followed Su Ming's gaze and looked out the window. A monk in white clothes, about twenty years old, was walking towards the port terminal.
As if sensing the gazes of Su Ming and the others, Zhang Jingchen looked towards the two people in the restaurant.
He glanced at Luo Xiao first, then turned his gaze to Su Ming, with an unknown smile on his lips.
Watching Zhang Jingchen leave, Luo Xiao shook his head and said: "It's different, it's different. How can we compare with a second-level alchemist? An alchemy genius like Daoyou Zhang has basically already been admitted to the Xianxia Sect.
For him, the sect examination three years later is just a formality."
But when it comes to Zhang Jingchen, after Luo Xiao broke through to the seventh level of Qi training, the complacency in his heart disappeared.
"Let's not talk about this. We won't go home until we get drunk today!"
"Okay, I won't go home until I'm drunk,"
Luo Xiao smiled heartily, and suddenly he seemed to remember something again, "By the way, Brother Su, this is the sea map of Yaoyuan Water Realm you want."
With that said, Luo Xiao handed over a jade slip.
Su Ming took the jade slip, the smile on his face became even bigger, he cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Brother Luo."
"Why are you so polite? Drink!"
"Okay, drink."
Su Ming smiled and nodded.
the other side.
As soon as Zhang Jingchen walked to the port pier, he was spotted by a Zhang family servant who was standing at the pier and looking around.
This Zhang family servant Xiu ran over all the way, with a somewhat flattering look on his face, and bowed: "Second Young Master, the clan leader is waiting for you to return home. Please get on the boat with your subordinates."
Zhang Jingchen nodded slightly and motioned for him to lead the way.
This Zhang family servant Xiu led Zhang Jingchen all the way to the spiritual boat purchased by the Zhang family.
Wait until the spirit boat has sailed thousands of miles beyond the port of Tianshu Island.
Zhang Jingchen stood on the deck, looking at the quite luxurious spirit boat at his feet, and couldn't help but frown: "It's my first time here, my father is too high-profile."
Hearing this, the servant Xiu of the Zhang family next to him paled and was too frightened to speak.
"never mind,"
Zhang Jingchen shook his head, "Has father found a location for the family?"
"Already found,"
With that said, the Zhang family servant took out a jade slip from his storage bag and handed it over, "This is our Zhang family's new clan land - Jiling Island."
The Yaoyuan water realm is extremely vast, and together with the sea area, it is wider than the entire Lizhou, and the area of Lanzhou is the largest among all the states in Daqian.
There are countless islands within Yaoyuanshui, and a large number of undeveloped fairy islands are nominally owned by the Xianxia Sect.
But if there are monks who are willing to develop the desert island, they only need to pay a sum of spiritual stones to the Xianxia Sect to purchase the ownership of the island.
The Xianxia Sect is very happy to see loose cultivators or cultivating families develop desert islands.
Because the Xianxia Sect knows very well that only if the fairy islands within their jurisdiction become more prosperous, they, as the top ruling class, can gain greater benefits from it.
The most important reason why Tianshu Daofang City is so prosperous is because it is surrounded by tens of thousands of fairy islands.
Without these fairy islands around it, Tianshu Island would be just a slightly larger desert island, which would not be able to support the prosperity of Tianshu Island City.
Zhang Jingchen took the jade slip and carefully examined its contents.
After a while, he raised his head with a look of satisfaction on his face: "Father found that this fairy island has a vast area, gentle terrain, and a large number of freshwater rivers inside it. It is very suitable for family monks to cultivate spiritual fields and cultivate spiritual shells."
The Zhang family monks on the side kept nodding: "The patriarch also said that the situation in Lanzhou is stable, and our Zhang family can also consider cultivating elixirs in the future. Compared with spiritual rice, elixirs are much more valuable."
Hearing this, Zhang Jingchen felt quite moved in his heart.
As an alchemist, no one knows better than him how expensive elixirs are.
But in Lizhou, there are not many immortal cultivating families who really dare to cultivate elixirs.
The reason is very simple. Lizhou will encounter demonic disasters every few decades, and the breeding time for elixirs is mostly ten or even decades.
After such a long time, if a demonic disaster happened, not only would the family's decades of hard work be in vain, but all the spiritual stones invested would also be in vain.
Therefore, the Zhang family had never dared to plant elixirs in Lizhou before, and could only plant large quantities of spiritual rice.
For this reason, they even risked monopolizing the Lingmi market in Xifang District, Qingshuifang City.
Even so, after the evil disaster came, everything was in vain.
Fortunately, the Zhang family made a fortune in Qingshuifang City before leaving.
Although it is not known whether the family was robbed by casual cultivators or demonic cultivators, the spiritual stone wealth that the Zhang family obtained from Qingshuifang City was ten times greater than the Zhangjiabao's losses.
Even if all the Zhang family monks who stayed behind died, those who died were only a group of people with poor qualifications from the Zhang family, not the elite of the Zhang family.
Elite members of the Zhang family like Zhang Jingchen were sent by Zhang Daoquan to Qingshuifang City that night, following Mo Xiu, burning, killing and looting, with very little loss.
"My father thought well. When I join the Xianxia Sect in the future, I will find a large number of spiritual plant seeds for the family so that the family can expand the spiritual medicine breeding industry.
There is no way that the elixir industry will become a treasure trove for my Zhang family in the future."
Hearing this, the servant cultivator on the side felt happy.
What Zhang Daoquan was most worried about when he sent Zhang Jingchen to the Xianxia Sect was that Zhang Jingchen would abandon his family after entering the Xianxia Sect and seeing a wider world.
But from Zhang Jingchen's words, we can tell that he still has feelings for his family, and he has not abandoned the family just because he is about to join the Xianxia Sect.
Seeing the joy on the face of the servant next to him, Zhang Jingchen remained calm on the surface, but he understood the thoughts of his ruthless father very well.
After talking about business, the servant beside him seemed to think of something.
With a meaningful smile on his lips, he took out a paper envelope from his arms and handed it to Zhang Jingchen.
Seeing this, Zhang Jingchen looked at him with doubtful eyes.
Zhang's servant Xiu quickly explained: "This is a letter sent by a young master from Yaoyuan Taoist Academy before boarding the ship. He said it was sent on behalf of a fairy from Yaoyuan Taoist Academy."
"boring."
Zhang Jingchen didn't even look at the letter and threw it into the sea.
At the moment when the envelope was still facing the sea.
The paper figure hidden in the envelope suddenly turned into a sword fairy puppet.
Compared with the paper puppets at the Qi training level, the Sword Immortal puppet has a more domineering image. It carries a long paper sword on its back and exudes an extremely sharp aura.
Although the Sword Immortal Puppet is made of paper, after being strengthened by Su Ming's hundreds of strengthening points, both its body and the paper sword it carries are no less than a real second-level peak magic weapon!
Feeling the terrifying aura emanating from the Sword Immortal Puppet, Zhang Jingchen turned pale with fear.
"Foundation-Building Monk?"
He was a little confused as to why a foundation-building monk got out of the envelope.
But immediately, Zhang Jingchen realized that this was not a foundation-building monk, but a puppet at the foundation-building level, and this was not an ordinary foundation-building puppet.
Because he felt a more terrifying aura from the other party than his father, Zhang Daoquan.
"Senior, please spare your life, this junior is Xianxia."
Before Zhang Jingchen finished speaking, he saw the Sword Immortal puppet turning into a white bolt and streaking across Zhang Jingchen's body quickly.
This white streak cuts from the bow deck to the stern of the spirit boat.
Immediately afterwards.
A terrifying sword energy suddenly erupted.
This spiritual boat, which was dozens of feet long and dozens of feet wide, was actually cut in half in the middle by this sword.
The white sword energy caused a violent roar.
The monks on the spirit boat could be said to be injured if they were scratched, or die if they were touched.
As for Zhang Jingchen, who was the first to bear the brunt, he was directly chopped into flesh and blood powder by this sword. The dark red flesh and blood mixture splashed into the sea water and quickly disappeared.
"Whoosh!"
The spirit boat, split in half by a sword, began to sink slowly.
On the spirit boat, several Zhang family servants who were lucky enough to survive fell into the water and kept struggling and calling for help.
The Sword Immortal puppet stood in the air, and then showed no mercy, transforming into a sword light and flying towards the few fish that slipped through the net.
Just a dozen breaths.
The whole boat full of Zhang family monks were slaughtered by the Sword Immortal's puppets.
After killing the person, the Sword Immortal puppet held a jade slip and transformed into sword light, soared into the sky and disappeared.
"Drink! Have another drink!"
In the restaurant, Luo Xiao shouted loudly that he would fight Su Ming to the end.
Su Ming had been drinking spiritual wine with Luo Xiao all afternoon, and his face was a little red. He said with a drunken mouth, "Brother Luo, let's wait for another day. Brother, I am really too drunk."
"Boom!"
Unfortunately, Luo Xiao didn't hear this and fell down on the wine table.
Spiritual wine is intoxicating. Even Qi-training monks will be intoxicated by spiritual wine if they don't use Qi to force out the alcoholic odor all the time.
Su Ming shook his head, used his true energy to force out the smell of alcohol, paid the bill to the restaurant, and drove Luo Xiao out of the restaurant.
On the street, he found a beast cart and drove Luo Xiao directly onto the Cloud-Stepping Beast Car.
"Go to Yaoyuan Taoist Temple."
After Su Ming finished speaking, the beast cart quickly rushed towards Yaoyuan Taoist Temple.
the other side.
After the Sword Immortal Puppet finished killing people, Su Ming did not order him to come back. Instead, he asked him to find a nearby desert island, dig a hole casually, and let him bury himself.
After rushing all the way back to Yaoyuan Taoist Academy, Su Ming was still able to sense and control the Sword Immortal puppet through the Immortal Palace.
Silently calculating the distance, Su Ming couldn't help but secretly exclaimed: "The control distance must be more than five thousand miles, right?"
However, this distance is almost reaching its limit.
Because Su Ming felt that if he continued to increase the distance, his control over the Sword Immortal's puppet would begin to weaken.
Five thousand miles!
Su Ming finally determined the maximum distance he could control the Sword Immortal's puppet.
The divine consciousness in the early stage of foundation building, the second-level peak Immortal Palace, and the sword immortal puppet at the foundation building level.
The combination of the three allowed Su Ming to control the maximum distance of the puppet to an exaggerated five thousand miles.
According to Su Ming's knowledge, the spiritual consciousness of the early Golden elixir monks covers only about fifty miles.
Five thousand miles away, a hundred times as long as the opponent!
Su Ming was sure that even a Nascent Soul cultivator couldn't reach such a far distance with his spiritual consciousness!
Of course, divine consciousness coverage is different from single remote control of a puppet.
But for Su Ming, it was like having a trump card that could be used to defeat enemies thousands of miles away by hiding behind the scenes.
If you can't fight and run away, just cut off the connection between the Hall of Immortals and the Sword Immortal Puppet.
The worst that can happen is losing a foundation-level puppet.
To other foundation-building monks, this kind of foundation-building level puppet may require a lifetime of effort to refine and strengthen, but for Su Ming, it is less than ten dilapidated second-level high-grade magic weapons.
Converted into spiritual stones, it is less than three thousand spiritual stones.
With less than three thousand spiritual stones, you can get a powerful puppet that can be controlled at will within a range of five thousand miles, and its strength is comparable to that of a monk in the late stage of foundation establishment.
Not to mention the foundation-building monks, even the golden elixir monks were jealous when they saw it.
The most important thing is that Su Ming has more than one foundation-building puppet in his hands.
In one month, Su Ming refined three such Sword Immortal puppets, which were also the most powerful trump card in Su Ming's hand at the moment.
As for ordinary paper puppets at the Qi training level, Su Ming did not practice too much.
In the past month, only seventy-six paper puppets have been sacrificed, plus the original one hundred paper puppets and twenty-four paper bird puppets.
The number of Qi training level puppets in Su Ming's hands reached 200.
Speaking of which, the strength in his hands has surpassed that of the Zhang family.
This was also the reason why Su Ming had no scruples in killing Zhang Jingchen.
However, after a month of frantically refining the puppet, Su Ming's spiritual stone was in danger again.
Currently, he only has less than 10,000 spiritual stones left in his hand.
He glanced at the strengthening information in his mind again.
"Strengthening point: 955."
The fact that there are so many strengthening points is the result of the fact that he purchased thirty second-level high-grade magic weapons last month for decomposition.
Otherwise, his strengthening points would be less than 100.
Su Ming touched the shriveled storage bag and thought that a large amount of spiritual stones would be needed to fill it for the next training, sacrificing the puppets, and especially satisfying the energy-consuming power of the Wordless Heavenly Book.
Su Ming carefully counted the spirit stones in the storage bag, and found a total of seven thousand eight hundred and ninety-six.
"No, with the spiritual stones I have now, I can't even afford next month's worn-out magic weapon. I have to find a way to earn spiritual stones."
