…
Time flies, and the years leave no trace.
Life on Fengwei Island is peaceful and simple. The peaches on the peach tree in front of Zhao Shengdong Mansion have been ripened seven times.
Maybe even he didn't expect that this mine guarding mission would last for seven years.
Seven years is neither long nor short, but it is enough to bring about earth-shaking changes in some people and events.
In the past few years, except for occasionally inspecting the mines, Zhao Sheng spent the rest of his time either refining alchemy, drawing talismans, or practicing hard in seclusion.
As he became more and more sophisticated in the two methods of alchemy and talisman, his cultivation also improved at an unimaginable speed. In just seven years, he broke through to the eighth level of foundation building in one go.
At this point, he has exhausted the remnants of his previous life, and his cultivation speed will inevitably slow down greatly in the future. He can only slowly improve his cultivation step by step.
Three years ago, Zhao Sheng successfully refined the thirteenth second-level spiritual elixir, the Barrier-Breaking Pill, and was officially promoted to the second-level alchemy master.
Also during this year, many things related to him happened on Jiuzhen Island.
At the beginning of this year, the Jin family unexpectedly gained a foundation-building monk named Jin Dansheng. This man had been traveling in the Broken Star Sea for many years. When he returned to the family today, he actually appeared in front of outsiders as a foundation-building monk.
However, only a few people know that the reason why Jin Dansheng was promoted to Foundation Establishment was because Zhao Sheng privately sold a Foundation Establishment Pill to the Jin family.
It was also in this year that Zhao Sheng began to take out the first Foundation Building Pill, and the target was naturally Hongguanglou, who was crazy about pills.
At the end of the year, Master Xu Chong's beloved disciple Ge Chen suddenly disappeared after going out.
For this reason, Master Xu Chong became furious, and the Spring and Autumn Alliance had to mobilize all their resources to search for half a year, but no one could find any trace of Ge Chen. He seemed to have disappeared from the world, and there has been no news since.
Because Zhao Sheng had a feud with Ge Chen, he was also suspected. But he was stationed on Fengwei Island at the time, and he had an alibi, and there was no evidence to prove that he was the one who did it.
Therefore, under the protection of Qifeng Zhenren, Zhao Sheng easily passed the test.
In order to avoid Xu Chongqian's anger, Zhao Sheng stayed on Fengwei Island for another three years on the advice of Qifeng Zhenren.
The seven-year period has passed, and Zhao Sheng and the base-building guest minister who came to replace the guard successfully handed over the task.
After leaving the cave, looking at the numerous fruits on the peach trees, Zhao Sheng let out a silent breath, flipped one hand over, and a palm-sized silver-white boat suddenly expanded to two feet in size. The bottom of the boat was three feet above the ground, floating in front of him.
.
He lightly jumped on the flying boat, casually cast a control technique, and with a thought, the flying boat roared into the sky, flew to a height of a thousand feet, circled half a circle, and galloped away towards Jiuzhen Island.
…
Two days later, Hongguang Tower.
As soon as Zhao Sheng entered the building, he was invited into the private room in the backyard by the extremely attentive waiter. When Hong Yuanliang heard that Taoist Long Li was coming, he quickly dropped everything and rushed to the private room to meet him.
Thumb thump thump!
A burst of hurried footsteps quickly approached from far away. As soon as the door was pushed open and no one showed up, laughter came first.
"Haha, Hong has been thinking about it all day and night, looking forward to the Taoist priest. Today you are finally here, it's so exciting!"
The burly Hong Yuanliang stepped through the door in one step, strode towards Zhao Sheng with a spring breeze on his face, and said repeatedly.
"Fellow Daoist Hong, you are serious!" Zhao Sheng stood up and said politely, cupping his hands.
After another round of compliments and greetings, the two sat down, drank a pot of tea, and then got down to business.
Zhao Sheng took out two white jade elixir bottles and gently pushed them in front of Hong Yuanliang.
Hong Yuanliang was overjoyed when he saw this. He quickly opened the elixir bottle and took a look. He immediately exclaimed: "Oh, that's amazing! There are two Foundation Building elixirs this time. It seems that the Taoist master's alchemy has improved again, which is really gratifying.
Congratulations!"
"The old rule is to exchange ten Thousand Pattern Star Algae Fruits first, and use the rest to exchange for one dollar of heavy water."
"Ha, I've already prepared it for you!"
With that said, Hong Yuanliang took out two dark wooden boxes and a black iron gourd, and solemnly handed them to Zhao Sheng's hand.
As soon as he took the gourd, Zhao Sheng penetrated it with his spiritual consciousness and saw twelve transparent "crystals" as big as teardrops, clearly suspended in the center of the gourd.
This "crystal" is the famous one-yuan heavy water. At this time, its spirituality is completely restrained and as light as a feather, but once it breaks out, it instantly becomes extremely heavy.
Zhao Sheng opened the wooden box again and looked at it. There were ten Thousand-striped Star Algae fruits neatly arranged inside.
"Very good! Has the "Blood Soul Sutra: Xuanxue Dan Jue" I requested arrived?" Zhao Sheng put away the wooden box with satisfaction and asked again.
Hong Yuanliang hesitated when he heard the words, with a puzzled look on his face: "The Taoist Master is unaware of something. I have already reported your request to the mountain gate, but the situation is not optimistic. "Xuanxue Transformation Alchemy Technique" can be regarded as the true teaching method of our sect, and it is absolutely difficult for outsiders to
I will be granted the title, unless. Unless, Taoist Master, you can follow me back to the gate of Zongbu Mountain and truly worship our sect."
"In that case, let's forget it! Then, have you ever obtained the recipe for the golden elixir?" Zhao Sheng waved his hand and retreated to the next best thing.
Hong Yuanliang scratched the back of his head in embarrassment and missed Zhao Sheng's gaze with great embarrassment.
Seeing this situation, Zhao Sheng sighed secretly, thinking that things were not that simple after all.
In a sense, the value of the Golden Elixir Formula is more precious than a magic weapon, and is no less valuable than any Golden Elixir level skill.
Seeing that Zhao Sheng could not hide his disappointment, Hong Yuanliang quickly made up for his mistake and said: "Taoist Priest, don't you want a talisman to protect yourself? I happen to have three different talismans here for you to choose from."
After saying that, he eagerly took out three palm-long talismans that shone with strong blood and had a jade-like texture, and placed them in front of him.
Three typical patterns of blood magic weapons appear on the surface of the talisman: a blood sword, a blood shield and a blood bone knife.
Zhao Sheng looked at the three talismans in front of him and couldn't help but feel excited on his face.
Hong Yuanliang smiled very proudly when he saw this.
…
An hour later, Zhao Sheng, wearing a black robe, left the Hongguang Tower with satisfaction.
After leaving the Hongguang Building, he immediately changed his appearance and walked around the city, entering and exiting more than 20 shops in a row.
After coming out of a shop selling talismans, Zhao Sheng's expression became very solemn.
In just six months, the prices of elixirs, talismans and other items in the market unexpectedly increased by 30% to 50%.
As expected, Hong Yuanliang did not deceive him, and a new wave of sea monsters was about to begin again.
It turned out that Hong Yuanliang had told him that in the Hongguang Tower just now, there were signs of a large number of monster beasts gathering in the outer ocean of the Broken Star Sea in the past six months.
During ocean voyages, there are more and more incidents of treasure ships being attacked by monsters.
The Blood Demon Sect has a blood demon pirate group that travels across the ocean, and its information is far better than ordinary forces.
As early as a year ago, the Blood Demon Sect discovered the clues. A few months ago, after verification from many parties, it was confirmed that the sea monster wave was inevitable.
At the same time, Star God Island also issued a decree, announcing that it would hold a Star God Festival and would seal off the Star Algae Sea in the near future.
In the history of the Broken Star Sea, the Star God Festival can almost be equated with the Siren Tide.
Whenever the Star God Palace holds a Star God Festival, the sea monster wave will always arrive as scheduled, but it can happen five or six times out of ten.
As time passed, the immortal cultivators in Broken Star Sea all realized that this was not a coincidence at all, but a deliberate plan.
As to why the three overlords of the Ocean always choose to attack the human territory during the Star God Festival, the lower-level casual cultivators have different opinions, but the Jindan masters who know the "truth" choose to remain silent.
Information monopoly exists in any world, but it is especially serious in the world of immortality.
For thousands of years, facing the waves of sea monsters again and again, the people of the Broken Star Sea have already summarized extremely complete methods of dealing with them.
The first and second defense island chains are specially designed to deal with the sea monster tide.
The great ocean tide is both a disaster and a once-in-a-century opportunity for the Immortal Cultivation World in Broken Star Sea.
After every disaster, countless forces and individuals will be wiped out, and countless emerging forces and outstanding individuals will emerge.
Under the baptism of the waves of sea monsters, countless talented people came into being in the Broken Star Sea. Therefore, the True Lord of God Transformation once praised: "There are outstanding people in the Star Sea, and they have led the way for hundreds of years!"
…
Three months later, Qionggui Island.
Qionggui Island is located on the edge of the Outer Star Sea, more than 6,000 nautical miles away from Longshou Island. It is due south and east and is one of the 108 dragon-scale spiritual islands.
The island is generally turtle-shaped and covers an area of more than a hundred miles. The terrain is high in the west and low in the east. The Aoshou Cliff in the west is vertically steep, and the easternmost edge of the island is full of white sand beaches. The terrain in the middle of the island is flat and the fields are fertile. There are nearly 100,000 direct tribesmen living there.
There are also 200,000 related tribesmen on the twelve nearby affiliated islands.
The Zhao family on Qionggui Island was founded by refining weapons. They are best at refining defensive weapons and are especially famous for their turtle shell shields.
The reason for this is that every summer on the island, thousands of armored turtles climb onto the white sandy beach and bury their eggs on the beach.
Qionggui Island has a first-order medium-grade spiritual vein, which runs east-west. The core spiritual orifice of the spiritual vein is under Aoshou Cliff, crosses the central spiritual field in the middle, and extends westward to the white sand beach. The end of part of the spiritual vein is submerged in the shallow sea.
Therefore, most of the Zhao clan's immortal cultivators gathered at Aoshou Cliff.
Through the development and maintenance of successive generations of island owner families, more than 150 caves have been built on Aoshou Cliff, but now only two-thirds are inhabited, and the remaining one-third is still vacant.
On this day, the "Dianjing Mansion" in Aoshou Cliff welcomed a new owner.
The Dianjing Mansion is built near the spiritual aperture, and its spiritual energy concentration is extremely high, second only to the "Xuanji Mansion" where the family leader is located, and not inferior to the other cave mansions of the other two elders of the Foundation Establishment Clan.
Therefore, as soon as the news came out that the Doanjing Mansion had an owner, it immediately caused a sensation in the Zhao family.
Those junior Qi refiners who had nothing to do were looking around for information, trying to find out who had such great ability to "snatch" the Dianjing Mansion from the owner of the family.
You must know that the head of the family of their generation, Zhao Yunxian, is notoriously stingy, and it is very difficult to take advantage of him.
At this time, in the living room deep in the Dianjing Mansion, an old man and a young man were chatting happily.
"Brother Zhao, what do you think of the environment of this cave? If you feel something is inappropriate, just bring it up. Brother, I will definitely meet your request."
Zhao Yunxian is the contemporary head of the Zhao family. He is more than 130 years old and is in the middle stage of foundation building. He is seven feet eight inches tall and has a handsome appearance. However, his eyebrows are slender and his nose is high and bulging like an eagle's nose, which occasionally gives people a kind of aura.
A cold feeling.
This person's words are funny and enthusiastic, and he is extremely sophisticated in his conduct, but he is so scheming that he sometimes loses his grandeur.
Zhao Sheng quickly recalled the memory about Zhao Yunxian, and at the same time showed a satisfied smile on his face, and said in a gentle tone: "Master Zhao, you are so polite! Zhao is very satisfied with the layout here, so there is no need to bother changing it."
After learning about the approaching sea monster tide, Zhao Sheng immediately interrupted his "secluded" life in the Spring and Autumn League and returned to Qionggui Island after traveling tens of thousands of miles.
If he said that the reason why he came back was out of family affection, that would be pure nonsense.
Of course, there is a little bit of blood and family affection in it, but most of it is driven by interests.
If the Zhao family develops well, he can do better!
You understand all the principles inside, so there is no need to go into details.
When Zhao Sheng unleashed his foundation-building momentum and revealed his skills in alchemy, Zhao Yunxian felt as if he had found a treasure and immediately hired Zhao Sheng as a guest elder.
Zhao Sheng was originally here for the Zhao family, so he pretended to be reserved and casually made a few small requests, then nodded and agreed.
During the passionate conversation between the two, Zhao Sheng intentionally or unintentionally revealed his "life story" to Zhao Yunxian through casual chat. This was to reveal the truth and show sincerity.
An hour later, Zhao Yunxian left in dismay.
The next day, he summoned all the Zhao clan cultivators on the island and introduced the new guest elder, Cen Hezi Zhao Tianding, to everyone.
Zhao Sheng reversed his name in this life and changed his name to Zhao Tianding, with the Taoist name "Cen Hezi". His identity was a Foundation Establishment realm casual cultivator and an alchemist.
The Zhao family has sixty-four characters: Fengxian Mingrenzong, Quanzhen Dutaihe, Zhongzheng Xuanyudian, Zhongshengjinke, Chongxuantonghanyun, Gaohongdingdaluo, Daodeyan Tsinghua, Cultivation of immortality and immortality.
The Broken Star Sea clan has passed down to the "big" generation, and the highest seniority members are the two "Han" generation elders of the Foundation Establishment clan, Zhao Hanqing and Zhao Hanguang.
Originally, the Zhao family had four founders, but the eldest Zhao Tongbei passed away sixteen years ago, and now there are only three left.
Moreover, the descendants of the Zhao family are not very impressive, and are now facing the danger of establishing a foundation to annihilate their generation. There are only four members of the Qi Refining Dzogchen clan in the whole family, and two of them have already failed to establish a foundation once, and their potential has reached its bottom.
Zhao Sheng knew most of the Zhao family, except for the younger generation who were born in the past thirty years, so there was no need for Zhao Yunxian to introduce them.
Just scanning it once, all kinds of memories about these people suddenly came to his mind again.
Which one can be cultivated and which one is pure waste?
With one quick glance, Zhao Sheng suddenly had success.
