Baili Island is a lake area filled with smoke, boiling water, and rising bubbles.
Above the lake, small, extremely fast black sharks swim by at high speed from time to time.
There are high platforms erected around the lake shore, which are vaguely visible. On each high platform, there are figures sitting quietly, like sculptures.
Lin Mo felt the temperature that was different from other places on the island, as well as the strange smoke that was thick in the air, and his eyes couldn't help but shine with colorful light.
In the strange field of vision, the figures hidden on the high platform appeared in their true form. The intensity of each person's aura was at the level of a grand master, and in the lake, there were several auras that surpassed the grand master and reached the level of the true king.
As for the smoke...
In the gray-white field of vision, the swirling smoke turned into a giant dragon turtle, which seemed to be roaring up to the sky.
"The Flame Turtle Lake is really related to the rumored Flame Dragon Turtle?"
The Flame Dragon Turtle is a variant of the Silent Turtle clan. It is said that it has the blood of a true dragon. It was born in water, but it can control fire. It can reach the dragon level in just adulthood. It has a strong racial advantage.
And a lake that can have such a large impact on its own creates such a unique area.
Comparing the Chixian martial arts system, in terms of realm alone, at least the Dharma pattern is almost condensed and perfect, and the Flame Dragon Turtle is even stronger at the end of the road to the true king.
"The flames and mist are lingering, and the water is boiling like fire. The three holy places of Baili Academy, long-term practice and retreat, can strengthen the body, burn and temper the mind. In terms of single effect, it is similar to the three Thuja towers of Thuja Dao Sect.
It is precisely because of this that all kinds of geniuses can continue to emerge in the academy."
Lin Mo didn't worry too much about what Shen Shui said, but the elusive way the other party appeared still reminded him.
Although he is very good at researching and refining various medicines, and is willing to spend his efforts on them, he has to admit that the method of poisoning has become more and more useless as the level increases.
Even basic alert and warning capabilities have begun to be lost.
This is why he came here.
Flame Turtle Island, as the holy land of the academy, has a much higher level of security than Dormitory Lake.
It is more conducive to practice, but it only requires more money.
Lin Mo didn't care about the latter.
He followed the index and handed over his identification at the entrance.
"Young man, which area should we book and for how long?" On the high platform, a figure submerged in the darkness asked in a deep voice.
"Reserve the lake center, the time is... half a month for now." Lin Mo calculated the time, and after parting ways, the evaluation and exchange meeting he mentioned gradually spread, and it was probably only half a month.
back.
He happened to take advantage of this time to try to refine the inscription pattern and accumulate the final talent beads.
According to the progress, this period of time is almost over.
"In the central area, half a month...there are thirty thousand blue sea tokens in total." The figure looked a little solemn when he heard the words, and reminded in a low voice.
"Okay...wait...30,000 blue sea tokens...?" Lin Mo, who was thinking, subconsciously prepared to withdraw the money, but when he thought about it carefully, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.
The currency system in Abyss is very simple. The most common is the White Sea Token, followed by the Red Sea Token, and after that, the Blue Sea Token.
The exchange rate of all three is one to one thousand.
Under normal circumstances, one Blue Sea Token is enough to provide a month's worth of basic training resources for an ordinary turtle-level sea clan.
As for the subsidy given by the Academy, first-year students are six Blue Sea Tokens per year.
For illegitimate children like Lin Mo and others who were found because of their water dragon clan blood, the subsidy will be increased by 50%, which is nine blue sea tokens.
As for the 30,000 blue sea tokens...
Lin Mo touched the subsidy given by Yi Xuna and the more than 3,000 blue sea tokens accumulated from the mission rewards, his eyes looking thoughtful.
"If you don't have money, you can rent a more remote area or shorten the time." The originally solemn voice became more relaxed and said with understanding.
"Just half a month, in the center of the lake, and I will charge it to my teacher's account." Lin Mo shook his head and said expressionlessly.
"Flaming Turtle Lake does not allow..."
Before he finished speaking, a blue sea anemone appeared in his hand.
"Sad sea anemone..." The voice that was about to refuse stopped, but she didn't say any more.
The fog in front slowly dissipated, revealing the bubbling Flame Turtle Lake, and a blue turtle shell index was handed out.
Lin Mo nodded and carefully put away the sea anemone and index.
He does not object to the act of keeping accounts. As his mentor, if the disciple needs resources, the teacher will provide help. This is in line with the rules.
Besides, he didn't want anything precious, he just spent some extraneous things.
Just as compensation for drawing his blood last time.
As for how Yixuna would react after learning about it, Lin Mo was not worried. Although he, as a teacher, sometimes likes to fool around and go crazy, he has one good thing and doesn't care about some resources.
If he didn't always like to mess around, he would actually be a good mentor.
Lin Mo thought of something, sighed softly, and followed the guide's guidance towards the lake.
The water in Yangui Lake is not deep, and the water temperature is about more than 300 degrees. The sound of gurgling bubbles is mixed with the sound of small black sharks breaking through the water, and the sound of the water is heard, which can be said to be a bit noisy.
The lake is dotted with various islands, large and small. It is a place of retreat.
Following the road guide, Lin Mo came to a medium-sized island in the center, which was coated with a thin film like a hundred islands. It could only be entered with the help of the guide.
Whoosh!
The moment I stepped into the island, a sultry howling wind suddenly blew.
Along with it, there was a strange sound.
"This is……"
Lin Mo felt quietly that this hot wind was somewhat different from ordinary hot wind. When it fell on his body, in addition to the burning sensation like a flame at the beginning, there was a warm and tickling feeling afterwards.
This feeling is not just a simple touch, but also acts on the mind and spirit.
He could even feel that in the hot wind, his body was under some kind of pressure and was being activated.
In order to enter a state more suitable for cultivation.
This is a bit awesome.
No matter what level the treasure technique is, its true power still needs to be viewed in relative terms. Putting aside the comparison of realms, it is just killing the gangsters.
Just like a secret skill that can help one fight across two realms at the Destiny level, compared with a ultimate kill at the Grand Master level that can only defeat opponents in the same realm, the latter is undoubtedly more precious.
Now Lin Mo's strength is enough to compare with Zhenjun, the Sea Envoy, and the top master among them.
At this level, he was actually affected by the aura generated by the Flame Dragon Turtle itself.
This means that the latter's level is probably beyond his original expectations.
Lin Mo didn't think any more and immediately walked towards the inside of the island.
There are no extra trees on the island. The soil is black and has average hardness. In the center, there is a hole.
The entrance to the cave is deep and dark, and when one enters it, a glistening yellow light shines on the walls. There is no debris in the cave, only a stone coral seat.
Visible to the naked eye, there is a faint white mist rising up from under the seat.
This should be the center of this cultivation island.
After briefly checking the surrounding situation, Lin Mo sat cross-legged on it. Soon, the increasingly thick white mist rose and the heat increased.
He officially began to carve the Dharma patterns, condense the Dharma body, and wait for the completion of the talent beads.
'The prosperity of the sea people is indeed stronger than that of the mainland of Kyushu. The ebb and flow of the tide seems to be reincarnation again.'
At Shuijiekou, there is a three-story stacked hourglass-shaped Lotus Restaurant.
Li Bowen looked sighing with emotion as he took a sip of Bailihai's unique Dragon Drunken Drink and looked at the people talking and laughing on the street.
At the street entrance, a group of people from the Tokai Society, including Momiro, Nagasaki, and even Nato, who had been seriously injured before, were all here.
Of course, the latter's face was pale, his aura was much weaker, and he was ranked lowest among the three.
But facing the young sea people and distinguished guests from all ethnic groups, he had to force a smile at this time.
Of course, the geniuses of all races did not pay much attention to him, but paid more attention to Momiro and Nagasaki at the front.
It's extremely sad.
This is to be expected, as his reputation has plummeted since the news broke that he was severely injured by a first-year student.
Not many people pay attention to how strong his opponent is. They are only curious about the fact that he, who is almost considered a top expert in the academy, accidentally overturned and lost face.
The contrast in status before and after, the strange looks from outsiders, coupled with his own serious injuries, Nadeau, who was both physically and mentally injured, almost planned to give up and just wanted to graduate safely.
"Is that the young master of the Water Dragon clan? He is indeed very strong. Even those who are slightly weak are close to the True Lord. As for Namo Milo, well... I am afraid that he is already as strong as the True Lord.
It seems that the scale of the so-called evaluation exchange this time is not small..."
Li Bowen used a little Zhanzhang Qi Technique, and when he saw the group of sea geniuses downstairs, his eyes moved slightly, and he felt that the plan was promising.
He came to this abyss to do only two things.
One is to discuss the alliance with Neerach and prepare for a vertical and horizontal alliance.
The second is to search for the cave that is almost solid.
The latter hexagram has not yet been determined, and more information is needed, so there is no way to start at the moment.
As for the former, Taoist Haisha finally got an opportunity after many attempts to bring him together.
This time, the Baili Academy of the Water Dragon Clan held a joint examination of the academy, and Nirach would make a brief trip there. He just took this opportunity to implement his plan.
As for whether he can convince the real king of the abyss, Li Bowen is not worried.
Since he came here, he calculated a divination for himself, which happened to be the divination of water and sky. Xiang said:
The pearl is buried in the earth and has no light or shine. When the strong wind blows up, it will naturally become new.
It can be regarded as a square and auspicious hexagram.
He had already prepared the predictions of great disaster and used the fortune-changing technique to mess up his luck. Naturally, he felt more at ease when he saw this.
"Senior Nephew Haisha, this time it's all in your hands."
With a decision made in his heart, Li Bowen turned his head and said solemnly to Taoist Haisha who was aside.
Taoist Haisha quickly raised his hands and responded.
Seeing this, Li Bowen breathed a sigh of relief and picked up the Long Zuiyin on the table again. After realizing that it was empty, he put it down casually.
If we can really successfully win over the Hai Clan, then with Yizhou, Hanzhou, and Shuzhou as the boundaries, and with the seven seas facing each other, we can encircle the Qianyu and Dahuai.
Then, launch a counterattack.
Now that the vitality is recovering, as long as those few can take this opportunity to breathe and take a step further, the situation will definitely improve, and the roots of Chi County can be preserved in large quantities.
This is also his true mission as a successor to Yi Dao.
Flame Turtle Island.
In the black island in the lake, there is a cave.
Under the coral-like seats, smoke like white snakes continued to rise. When the mist gathered, it faintly condensed into the shape of a turtle.
Lin Mo was sitting cross-legged below, motionless, with thunder and black fire rising from his body. There was a layer of fluid on top of it, with a glimmering light that kept gathering and dispersing.
Within the body, the Tathagata's demonic energy, as black as ink, circulates endlessly in the meridians like running water.
If you look carefully, you can find that the endlessly flowing water is composed of small black wheels.
The wheels rotate, like the gears of a large machine connecting to each other, running in an orderly manner, carving out complex patterns on the thick, scaly bones.
And these peculiar lines can echo with the energy, blood, and mental energy, and they are constantly flashing with a faint light, as if they want to connect the mental energy, Qi, blood, and even the water element, as well as the distinct magic power. into a whole.
Deep in the body, there is a thick black shadow that is vaguely visible.
This is the Divine Forging Dharma Pattern, and the black shadow is the unformed Dharma Body.
This Yangui Island is indeed worthy of being one of the three holy places of Baili Academy. In that unique heat, whether it is water element, mind energy, or spirit, it is in an active state. While it is consumed, it is also constantly the production of.
And as Lin Mo thought, with the help of the martial arts heavenly eye, he was indeed able to forge the magic patterns in advance and embark on the path of condensing the legal body.
It seems to be due to the existence of water element and mana.
The black wheel condensed by divine will and mental strength is extremely tough, takes very little time to engrave, and is extremely efficient in divine forging.
Lin Mo was sitting cross-legged, with his upper body naked. On his left chest, pieces of crystal-like black dragon scales rose and fell with his breathing, as if they were alive.
He could clearly feel that when the thick black shadow deep inside his body truly broke out of his body, it would be the process of breaking out of his cocoon and becoming a butterfly, and he would undergo an all-round transformation.
It's just that the black shadow of the Dharmakaya is a bit strange. As the Dharma pattern is completed and continuously completed, it also echoes the Buddha's virtual phase tattoo on his back.
There seems to be some strange connection between the two.
Lin Mo didn't think much about it and continued to carve the pattern with great concentration.
Under the control of the martial arts heavenly eye, the divine will is constantly connected with the mental energy, the number of tiny black wheels in the body is increasing, and the speed of perfecting the magic patterns is getting faster and faster.
"It seems that perhaps the time required to engrave the first level of Dharma patterns is much shorter than what is stated in the records.
But even if we speed up, I'm afraid it won't be completed in a few days, but in dozens of days..."
Lin Mo's heart turned.
At the True King level, the focus is on building the Dharmakaya.
The Dharmakaya needs to go through the Dharmakaya Tribulation, which is the inevitable result of the physical body’s aura being too strong after the initial connection with the divine mind, and the real communion with heaven and earth being too close.
When the mountains are no longer high, there are immortals and spirits; when the water is no longer deep, there are dragons and spirits.
When you reach the realm of True Lord and Sea Envoy, your own life magnetic field is enough to affect the external environment and even affect ordinary life around you.
Just like the Flame Dragon Turtle created the unique Flame Turtle Lake, or the strange plague in Qingfeng County back then.
Faced with the catastrophe of Dharmakaya, which can lead to death if you are not careful at all, the most effective way is to engrave Dharma patterns and strengthen Dharmakaya.
In the end, after the Dharma body is engraved with numerous Dharma patterns, the connection between the divine mind and the physical body will reach its peak, and that will be the time when the Dharma Appearance Great Sage is achieved.
By then, even in today's troubled times, I should be able to really sit back and relax, sit back and watch the ups and downs of this world, the storms and clouds, but I will remain unmoved.
"It's just that it's not an easy thing to do after all. It requires hard work."
Lin Mo Qingsheng sighed.
But I didn’t feel anxious or disappointed.
Compared to martial artists of the same level, his cultivation speed is already fast enough. Martial arts practice is a matter of day after day. How is it possible to achieve it in just a few seconds?
Even if there is such a method, I'm afraid there will be unimaginable consequences.
Just like those left-field cultivation methods in the Thousand Feathers Realm, their strength is indeed very fast, and their power is also very terrifying. However, if they are not careful, they will fall into Taoism and become a closed disciple of a certain existence.
Freedom of life and death is no longer self-sufficient.
Lin Mo relaxed his mind, took a short rest, took out the polished yuan stone from the empty stone ring, and started swallowing it as a daily routine.
As soon as the Yuan Stone entered the mouth, it was immediately chewed and swallowed under the powerful teeth, and then continued to be digested in the peristalsis of the intestines and stomach.
Wisps of vitality flowed out and were quickly absorbed by the talent beads.
Used to heal and nourish the cracks on it.
After getting some news, Lin Mo continued to practice.
And while he was concentrating on polishing the magic patterns, Baili Island became more and more lively.
Various ethnic academies in Haiyuan have sent disciples from various schools to come here for exchange and study.
As a young man, he has a youthful spirit. Although he is polite on the surface, when he disagrees, there are more and more fights and discussions.
The evaluation exchange organized by Baili Academy has also officially begun.
Among them, the real geniuses in the academies of various ethnic groups also began to emerge.
For example, Momiro and Nagasaki from the Baili Academy, Kevin Silver from the Blue Shark Academy, Ajiken from the Blood Shark Clan, Dibana from the Black Seahorse Clan, their names are getting bigger and bigger.
At the same time, the Seven Seas Alliance above the Seven Seas officially marched towards Yizhou.
The Great Zhou Dynasty sent Ying Wuhou Fang Chong to Jiaojun in Yizhou to hold the Zhouhai Conference to negotiate peace with the Seven Seas League.
It is said that on the third day, the two sides broke up unhappily, and Yingwuhou Fang Chong and the deputy chief of the Blood Shark Clan, Qiao Lila, took action in Jiao County.
At this point, both sides have increased their troops in Jiaojun, and the battle is about to break out.
In the blink of an eye, half a month passed.
Lin Mo slowly opened his eyes.
On the left chest, on the red talent bead, the last crack finally slowly healed.
The talent beads in the fifth stage are like real treasures in the world, blooming with breathtaking beauty.
Chi Neng is 100%, all he needs to do is finally wake up.
Before breaking through to the True Lord, this was almost the easiest way for him to increase his combat power.
And devouring Yuan Stone every day and every night, this is what I am waiting for.
