Bailu Lake is a volcanic lake with very deep water.
After Gu Zheng and Lian Yuxin entered the water, they kept diving downwards.
Although Lian Yuxin is an immortal cultivator in the late stage of returning to the void, she has not refined the 'true water of life', so diving into the lake is not as easy for him as Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng looks like she is descending the stairs, but she has a shield formed by a layer of immortal power on her body, which controls her rising and falling in the water.
The lake water is very clear, there are some fish, and some aquatic plants, and the food grade of these things can occasionally be seen as ordinary grade.
Gu Zheng and Lian Yuxin quickly dived to the bottom of the lake, and then Gu Zheng put his immortal power deep into the mud and began to break the immortal formation below.
This fairy formation is a bit difficult, but when the weapon spirit discovered it, he also took a look at how to break it, in order to facilitate the ancient fight in the future.
As for what kind of restrictions there are after this fairy formation, Qi Ling did not go any further to explore. After all, she only had two minutes to conduct in-depth exploration. She also wanted to see if she could do more in the limited time.
Gu Zheng found some treasures or something.
In addition to discovering the treasure of Bailu Lake, Qi Ling also discovered some ordinary-level ingredients in two minutes, as well as an island on the sea protected by an immortal formation.
Therefore, after Gu Zheng has explored the treasures of Bailu Lake, he will go to that overseas island to see what he will find there.
The fairy array at the entrance to the treasure was cracked by Gu Zheng, and bright light penetrated the thick mud and appeared in the water, forming a pattern of light array.
The mud at the bottom of the water seemed to be squeezed out by invisible forces, as if it was pushed by someone, leaving the range of the light array.
About three minutes later, the mud on the Immortal Formation was cleared away, revealing the hard magma rock underneath.
"Rumble..."
A gap opened in the magma rock, and the lake water was separated. Gu Zheng and Lian Yuxin followed the gap, and the gap closed again, and the separated lake water became its original appearance.
The crack that Gu Zheng and Lian Yuxin entered was very deep. As they kept walking along the crack, the temperature became higher and higher, and the temperature of the magma became richer and richer.
After a while, Gu Zheng and Lian Yuxin arrived in front of a stone door.
There is an immortal array on the stone gate. I have never seen this immortal array before. After trying it for a while, I couldn't open it, so I asked Lian Yuxin to try her array magic weapon.
Lian Yuxin took out the bead-like formation magic weapon. With a thought, she activated the magical power of the fairy weapon. Suddenly there was a slight light flickering on the bead, along with the light of the fairy formation on the door.
It flashed at the same frequency.
About ten minutes later, Lian Yuxin already knew how to crack the fairy formation. She input her fairy power into the fairy formation on the door, and soon opened the fairy formation.
"Rumble..."
The stone door opened, and a stream of dusty heat suddenly swept over.
Gu Zheng's poison-proof clothing automatically opens the shield to resist the fire poison in the heat. Lian Yuxin's body already has a fairy power shield on her body, so the fire poison from the lava will not cause any harm to her.
The world behind the door is fiery red, like a lava lake. There is a stone passage in it, leading to the stone wall at the end of the magma lake. Under the stone wall is a platform, and a large box is placed on the platform.
"It's such a big box, I don't know how many treasures are put here!" Lian Yuxin exclaimed.
"Yeah?"
Gu Zheng glanced sideways, looking at Lian Yuxin with a half-smile.
"Master, why are you looking at me like that?" Lian Yuxin smiled awkwardly.
"I was wondering if you were going to wait for me to move forward, then sneak attack me and kick me into the lava?" Gu Zheng smiled, as if he saw something very interesting.
"How could that be? Master, stop joking!"
Having said that, Lian Yuxin suddenly launched an attack on Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng just smiled, and when Lian Yuxin was about to hit his face with a palm, he closed and opened his eyes, and everything in front of him was different.
Lian Yuxin stood beside Gu Zheng properly, with her eyes closed. There was indeed a box on the platform at the end of the magma lake, but it was not as big as the one he saw just now.
In fact, from the moment Gu Zheng and Lian Yuxin stepped through the door, they had already fallen into an illusion.
There are many ways to see through illusions, the most direct of which is that your cultivation level is high enough and your mental power is strong enough, so that you can feel the difference as soon as the illusion appears.
The spiritual power of a cultivator is his spiritual thoughts, and Gu Zheng's spiritual thoughts are undoubtedly powerful. For him, the illusion he experienced this time was not as powerful as the illusion of the Millennium Tridacna on Ziyan Island.
Since he knew it was an illusion, Gu Zheng was naturally not afraid of Lian Yuxin's attacks, and the illusion was broken as soon as he closed and opened his eyes.
It took about half a minute for Gu Zheng to break the illusion, and even Yu Xin also broke the illusion.
"There is actually an illusion!"
Lian Yuxin opened his eyes and smiled at Gu Zheng.
Lian Yuxin's spiritual consciousness was not as good as Gu Zheng's, so she escaped from the illusion relatively late and was not able to see through it immediately. However, Lian Yuxin was an immortal cultivator in the late stage of returning to the void after all, and her spiritual consciousness was already strong enough to a certain extent.
The stronger the spiritual will, the easier it is to detect broken formations in the illusion.
"Let's go and see what's in the box."
Gu Zheng smiled slightly and walked through the magma lake on the stone passage.
The seal on the box was opened by Gu Zheng, but the contents inside were not as much as expected.
There are some low-grade weapon refining resources, a bottle of unknown elixir, a jade slip and three resources that can be used as food ingredients.
"Well, these are the only things."
Lian Yuxin sighed, looking very disappointed.
Gu Zheng was also disappointed. After all, the grades of the three ingredients were only ordinary.
"Damn it, didn't you take away the legendary treasures of the two immortals of Yingzhou?" Lian Yuxin said again.
"Legends are just legends after all. If you take it seriously, you will lose. What's more, it should be common sense to ascend into the ancient world and take away all the resources. And they can also leave some elixirs and weapon refining resources for the destined people, so
It’s already pretty good.” Gu Zheng said with a smile.
"All right!"
Lian Yuxin smiled sheepishly. Ever since she was forced to join Emei by Gu Zheng, she always felt that her IQ seemed to have dropped a lot when facing Gu Zheng. Many times, she blurted out words without even thinking about it.
.
"I've given you all the materials for refining the weapon. As for the jade slip, I think it's better to destroy it." Gu Zheng asked.
"Yeah, yeah, you really don't need the spiritual power of the twin immortals of Yingzhou." Lian Yuxin said with a slight blush.
The two immortals of Yingzhou are not righteous monks. One of their best methods is the 'tonic art'. Back then, they were like emperors on Koryo Island, and they harmed many women.
Moreover, the so-called Yingzhou Twin Immortals are just self-proclaimed. In everyone’s minds, they should be more appropriately called the ‘Yingzhou Twin Demons’! After all, the skills they practice are mainly evil arts.
Although Lian Yuxin also practiced evil arts, they were incomparable to the evil arts practiced by the Yingzhou Double Immortals. The evil arts she practiced were not harmful to the heavens and could be regarded as necessary for the profession of a weapon refiner.
Gu Zheng exerted force in his hands, and the Chuan Gong Jade was reduced to powder. He started to walk back, his brows slightly furrowed.
Although it is normal that there is nothing to gain from the treasure, Gu Zheng still feels a little uncomfortable in his heart. After all, this treasure was found by the weapon spirit through in-depth exploration at the cost of harming himself.
"I hope that island on the sea can give me some different gains, otherwise I will be so sorry for you."
Gu Zheng looked inside, looking at the small garden where the weapon spirit was. The weapon spirit, which was originally alive and kicking, was now lying on the big stone and sleeping. It had been like this since her spiritual mind returned.
"Actually, it's not bad. After all, you still harvested two high-quality ingredients from those two immortal cultivators!" The weapon spirit slowly opened its eyes and said very tiredly.
"You didn't fall into a deep sleep?" Gu Zheng said happily.
"Not yet. I am just repairing myself by closing my eyes. But now that the necessary repairs have been completed, I will fall into a seven-day deep sleep."
Qi Ling paused and slowly closed his eyes: "I'm so sleepy. You've been fine these past seven days."
"Don't worry, just go to sleep!"
Hearing the weak and sleepy voice of the weapon spirit, Gu Zheng felt a little uncomfortable. After all, this little girl had been with him since the day he picked up the Tie Immortal Token.
After leaving Yingzhou Mountain, Gu Zheng took Lian Yuxin and flew towards the island on the sea.
It has to be said that the area Qi Ling explored in two minutes was really huge. It took Gu Zheng and Lian Yuxin a long time to fly to the place Qi Ling mentioned.
There was a sea of blue waves in front of him, and there was nothing strange at all on the surface, but Gu Zheng knew that he had not come to the wrong place, after all, the weapon spirit had left the mark in his mind.
"Is it really here?"
On the way following Gu Zheng, Lian Yuxin couldn't help being surprised even though she didn't want to be curious. She really couldn't imagine how Gu Zheng knew there was an island here!
Was it really detected using spiritual thoughts?
Lian Yuxin couldn't imagine what kind of spiritual thought it was that could first find the treasure of Bailu Lake and then fly to this place without her being aware of it at all and without affecting the battle.
Even with her spiritual exploration, she found nothing.
It's not surprising that Lian Yuxin couldn't detect the island-protecting immortal formation, and Gu Zheng couldn't detect it either, because this island-protecting immortal formation is a high-level island-protecting immortal formation.
Gu Zheng has seen islands with island-protecting fairy formations. There are Wufeng Island, Blood Tide Island, Ziyan Island, and Zhaoxia Island. The island-protecting fairy formations of these four islands, Wufeng Island and Blood Tide Island belong to the island-protecting fairy formations.
Intermediate Island Protection Immortal Formation. Ziyan Island, Zhaoxia Island, including islands that have not yet been visited, use advanced Island Protection Immortal Formation.
Intermediate island-protecting immortal formations, even if fog does not occasionally appear outside, can still be detected with the spiritual will of the realm of returning to the void. However, the high-level island-protecting immortal formation is different. With the cultivation of the returning to the void realm, it is impossible to detect it at all.
To discover its existence, even the divine will that transcends common sense based on ancient disputes will not work! If you want to detect its existence, you must have the extremely special divine will of the weapon spirit, or the divine will of the Golden Immortal realm.
When the Qi Ling Shen Nian explored the island, it had almost reached its limit, so it did not help Gu Zheng find a path through the island-protecting fairy formation.
"Use your magic weapon!" Gu Zheng said.
"Um."
Lian Yuxin responded, took out the formation magic weapon, and immediately activated its magical power.
The light on the formation's immortal weapon flickered, and after a moment, Lian Yuxin already knew the path through the island-protecting formation.
After leading Gu Zheng on the sea for a while, their vision suddenly changed, and an island came into view in front of them.
Since the spirit of the weapon spirit has not penetrated deeply into the island-protecting immortal formation, it naturally does not know the situation on the island, so Gu Zheng does not know what is waiting for them on the island. However, being able to be protected by the high-level island-protecting immortal formation
An island, this island should at least not be barren.
"Master, do you think there will be anyone on the island? Will there be a sect of immortal cultivators? Will it be easy to talk to?" Lian Yuxin asked three questions in a row.
"There are no fishing boats on the sea, so it is unlikely that ordinary people will be on the island."
Gu Zheng's voice paused, and then he said: "Let's go, just go to the island and have a look."
Gu Zheng and Lian Yuxin flew to the island, and their eyes could not help but widen. It was not that there were no people on the island, but there were many people. However, these people were all lying lazily on the beach and sunbathing. None of them
Even though they were wearing clothes, there were more than a dozen couples of men and women among them, still having sex as if no one was watching.
"this,"
Lian Yuxin didn't know what to say and turned to look at the way she came.
"Everyone, get up!"
Gu Zheng shouted loudly, like thunder. More than two hundred people sunbathing on the beach suddenly jumped up and looked at the sky in horror, but they had no sense of shame at all, as if being naked was a matter of course.
.
"Who is your leader?" Gu Zheng asked.
The people in front of me look different from the Orientals, and the language they used in ancient times is also different. In fact, it is not only the people on this island, but also the people on Chaoxia Island. Even Jin Guangyao is talking about Goryeo.
Language. However, for cultivators, learning several languages is really a very simple matter.
"Immortal, Immortal!"
"God has eyes, God has eyes!"
"Immortal, Immortal, you are finally here!"
"Great, we are saved!"
From a cave on the island, several old men and women running out with crutches in their hands.
These old men and women were all so old, and they were all wearing clothes made of animal skins. They excitedly climbed to a high place on the mountain that was similar to an altar, and knelt down towards Gu Zheng with a 'plop'.
Gu Zheng waved his hand, and the old man and the old lady were lifted up by invisible force.
"Tell me about this island."
Hearing Gu Zheng's voice, the excited old man quickly told Gu Zheng about the island.
The name of the island is "Bitao". During the Dharma era, there lived a very powerful immortal cultivator on this island, as well as his eighteen servants.
Later, another time, when the cultivator came back from the outside, he was seriously injured, and then he went into retreat in the cave and never appeared again.
There are eighteen servants, both male and female, but they all have little cultivation. If the cultivators don't show up, they won't be able to leave Bitao Island at all.
During the years of waiting for the immortal cultivator to come out of seclusion, the eighteen servants also produced offspring, and then they survived generation after generation to this day.
There is no shortage of food on the island, and no one can get out. Generation after generation of reproduction has also led to the degradation of these islanders generation after generation.
There is no shortage of food and drink, the temperature is suitable, there is nothing else to do, and it is on an island where it is impossible to get out. The only fun most people have is to satisfy their instincts.
In fact, not only the people on Bitao Island were like this, but when Jin Guangyao first entered Zhaoxia Island, there were also many islanders there who were like this.
However, the products of Zhaoxia Island are not as rich as those of Bitao Island. The islanders still need to travel for food. In addition, Jin Guangyao has ruled Zhaoxia Island for several decades. Under enough pressure, the people there seem to be
They are essentially different from those on Bitao Island beach.
The area of Bitao Island is not smaller than that of Zhaoxia Island, but there are only more than 400 islanders on Bitao Island, which is only a quarter of the number of people on Zhaoxia Island.
In fact, whether it is Zhaoxia Island or Bitao Island, the sensible people there, that is, those in power, are deliberately controlling the number of people.
As islanders who once belonged to immortal cultivators, the immortal cultivators also told them about contraceptive methods. Even though the immortal cultivators on the island were no longer there, the effective methods were still passed down.
After all, the resources on an island are limited. Once there are too many people, some people will starve. It is also a very wise move not to allow them to reproduce.
Take Bitao Island as an example. The vast majority of the islanders have fallen to the point of eating and waiting to die. However, the 'Elders' House' that has been passed down will still select a group of people and teach them carefully.
They want to be a sensible person. And the old man and old lady who told Gu Zheng these things are members of the "Presbyterian Council".
The old man and the old lady had told Gu Zheng everything he wanted to know, and then they looked at Gu Zheng with hopeful eyes, waiting for Gu Zheng to take them out of this prison where they could only eat and wait to die.
"I won't take you away this time, but from today on, you are already my people. Remember my name, my name is Gu Zheng! After a while, I will send someone over and let them manage Bitao on my behalf.
Island, and will also send you supplies to satisfy your desire to see the outside world!"
"Thank you, thank you immortal!"
"No, you should thank the master!"
"Thank you, master, thank you, master!"
Several old men and women knelt down to Gu Zheng with tears streaming down their faces. They really never thought that they would have the chance to leave this prison in their lifetime.
After a few words with the old man and the old lady, Gu Zheng and Lian Yuxin went to Bitao Island.
"It's really good. This time the leader has gained another island and some islanders, and the resources on this island are really very rich!" Lian Yu thought to himself.
"Yes! Fortunately, there are no immortal cultivators on this island, otherwise it would have been a lot of trouble, and now everything is just like picking it up for free!" Gu Zheng said with emotion.
