A black wooden flying boat was flying hundreds of feet above the sea.
Zhao Xiulin sat cross-legged on the head of the boat and steered the flying boat.
Ni Kun was sitting in the middle of the boat, wrapped in a black robe and with his head covered by a hood, playing with a three-inch long wooden doll.
This wooden puppet is a scapegoat made using the Wood Spirit Puppet Escape Technique.
This puppet needs to be refined with thousand-year-old spiritual wood, and Ni Kun really has no shortage of thousand-year-old spiritual wood - not to mention his 1,500-year-old Qianqiu Vine, which was also carried on Xiaoyue Kingdom's tribute ship.
There are few copper, iron, wood and other weapon-making materials purchased from Fumiao Mountain.
Due to the large volume of the materials, Ni Kun and Zhao Xiulin had limited storage space at the time, so they had to give up most of the materials and only picked out a few high-quality items to bring with them, including a section of thousand-year-old "moiré wood".
Later, in the Qianjia Secret Treasury, I also obtained a piece of thousand-year-old "Blood Muscle Wood" treasured by the Qianjia.
These two thousand-year-old spirit trees are not too small and can be used to refine seven or eight wood spirit puppets.
However, at the entry level of "Wood Spirit Puppet Escape", only one Wood Spirit Puppet can exist at the same time. Ni Kun also tried to make an extra Wood Spirit Puppet as a backup. As a result, the second Wood Spirit Puppet automatically shattered as soon as it took the prototype.
, cannot exist at all.
Ni Kun didn't know what the principle was.
But things in the world of cultivating immortals are inherently mysterious and mysterious. It doesn’t matter if you don’t know the principles, as long as they are easy to use.
It took Ni Kun seven or eight days to refine this wood spirit puppet. In addition to the fifty days of seclusion before, they had already stayed in the small secret realm of the volcano for two months.
As a result, Zhao Xiulin has less than ten months left to report to Jiulian Mountain Fairy Square in the Scarlet Huang Kingdom.
The Chihuang Kingdom is far away in the far north of the South China Sea, adjacent to the main continent of Xuangang Realm. The distance is far away, so Ni Kun no longer stays, leaves the volcanic secret realm, and restarts his journey.
In fact, he also thought about simply hiding in the secret realm of the volcano and staying in seclusion until he built the foundation.
Unfortunately, as the realm advanced to the eighth level of Qi Refining, the effectiveness of the Jade Pill further declined. One Jade Pill could only increase the cultivation progress of the eighth level of Qi Refining by 0.35%.
Even though Ni Kun had harvested more than two hundred jade pills through the Tribute Ship Battle and the Qianjia Battle, after completing the seventh level of Qi Refining and advancing to the eighth level, the number of jade pills he had left was,
It is already less than two hundred, which is not even enough to complete the eighth level of Qi refining, let alone the ninth level of Qi refining.
Besides, although he had three Foundation-Building Pills in his hand, they were only exported versions of "Bad Pills".
Since Ni Kun is pursuing the "Flawless Dao Foundation", so a key elixir such as the Foundation Establishment Pill must be used at its best.
So he decided to go to the Chihuang Kingdom, first borrowing Zhao Xiulin's identity and wealth obtained from confiscating the house, to learn alchemy, and gather enough elixirs for cultivation. After completing the ninth level of Qi refining, he would try to purchase or even refine it himself.
Version of Foundation Building Pill.
Before setting off, Ni Kun turned Qi Lingyun back into a three-inch blood line, coiled it around his wrist, and turned it into a bloody mark.
Qi Lingyun, the blood slave, was obviously in disgrace.
At least within the Xianyin Sect's sphere of influence, Ni Kun did not dare to let her out to serve at any time when he was on the road.
The rest of the journey is not much to say, it is just driving the flying boat non-stop, and on the way, I also take pills to practice, understand the magic, and refine the magic tools.
Because the flight route was personally drawn by the current Jindan Patriarch of Chiba Kingdom, it was the safest air route, and there were no dangers along the way.
I also encountered many wandering cultivators on the way.
But most of the casual cultivators in Nanhai were very obedient. When they saw the Xianyin Sect flag hanging on the black wooden flying boat from a distance, everyone hurriedly avoided it, and no one dared to step forward to block the way and rob it.
Occasionally, he would come across an island where loose cultivators live. After getting to know the basics, Ni Kun would go there to rest for a while, visit the market, and listen to the latest news, depending on the strength of the island owner.
It's a pity that he never met the island owner who was as bold as any other and dared to attack the inner disciples of the Xianyin Sect, so Ni Kun was unable to defend himself and make a fortune.
I didn't get much from my visit to the market. I didn't pick up anything at all. I only picked up a few gadgets that can calm the mind and suppress inner demons.
However, I heard some interesting news in the market.
The first news is that the recent hot spot in the nearby waters, "Little White Dragon" Li Yukun, has made another amazing move.
Not long after he had just built the medium foundation, his cultivation was still in the early stages of foundation building. However, in the conflict between the Li family and the Zuo family of "Huanhua Island", he used the Li family's ancestral spiritual weapon "Xuanbing Sword" to fight one against two.
, killing two foundation-building majors from the Zuo family, one of whom was still in the middle stage of foundation-building.
After this battle, the Li family unified Tiemu and Huanhua Islands. Li Yukun also became powerful on the islands and was promised the hope of the Golden Core.
It is said that even the Chiba Kingdom was alarmed and sent the royal family to build a foundation and make a special trip to Ironwood Island to express their congratulations.
There was even a rumor that the ancestor of Qianye Jindan admired Li Yukun and wanted to recruit him as a horse attached to the royal family.
Of course, there are also some malicious rumors. The truth is that the ancestor of Qianye Jindan wants the old cow to eat tender grass and wants to recruit Li Yukun to make noodles...
The second news was that some roving merchants saw Jindan fighting in the air off the coast of "Black Dragon Island", a large island on the border of Chiba Kingdom.
One of them, Jin Dan, seemed to be a fairy from the Xianyin sect. He used an iron kite to gather spiritual energy as a Taoist soldier, summoned an army all over the sky, formed a formation and charged, with overwhelming power.
The enemy was a golden elixir sword cultivator whose sword light had disappeared and was accompanied by violent thunder sounds. It was suspected that he had cultivated the extremely advanced swordsmanship realm of "Sword Qi Thunder Sounds".
The two fought in the sky thousands of feet high, and the surge of spiritual energy even spread to the sea below, causing huge waves. The casual merchant who witnessed the battle was almost capsized by the wind and waves, and lost all his money.
Fortunately, the battle did not last long. The Jindan Sword Cultivator quickly broke through the encirclement of Taoist soldiers and escaped with his sword. The Xianyin Sect Jindan was chasing after them, and the two of them chased each other towards the north.
, I don’t know where I went in the end.
Some people speculate that the golden elixir sword cultivator is probably the casual cultivator who achieved a mid-level elixir on "Jiuya Island" more than half a year ago. This ancestor made too much noise when he formed the elixir, and was witnessed by many people from a distance.
After the news about his elixir-forming omen spread, the Xianyin Sect's Golden elixirs targeted him and wanted to take him back to make a furnace cauldron.
The third news has something to do with Ni Kun and Zhao Xiulin.
It is said that the four foundation building overhauls of Qianjia on Shuangyue Island disappeared at the same time, Shuangyue Island was leaderless, and several casual cultivator families on the island who were originally vassals of Qianjia united to seize Qianjia's foundation——
Those few casual cultivating families can also gather two foundations. Although they are only in the early stages of foundation building with inferior Dao foundations, when the Qianjia and the Qianjia are building four foundations, they can only follow the lead of the Qianjia, but now...
However, before they could officially start taking action, three foreign cultivators powerfully entered Shuangyue Island. With their absolute strength, they swept away all dissenters and seized Shuangyue Island's foundation.
Well, those three outsider cultivators claimed to be related to the Xianyin Sect and had some kind of romantic relationship with the Qianjia. Since the Qianjia was no longer able to control Shuangyue Island, it was reasonable for them to take over Shuangyue Island.
In short, Shuangyue Island changed hands.
The Qian family was not wiped out by the three casual cultivators, but they took over the mansion and took over a series of businesses. They fell from the island owner's family to an ordinary family...
Compared with the previous two news, not many people paid attention to the news of Shuangyue Island changing its ownership. After all, in the casual cultivator community in the South China Sea, there are countless similar incidents, and they are nothing new.
In the South China Sea, the only unchanging supreme being is the aloof Xianyin Sect.
Even the Eighteen Kingdoms of the South China Sea, which vassalized the Xianyin Sect and whose founders were all disciples of the Xianyin Sect, had a situation where the throne changed hands because the royal family failed to live up to expectations and failed to produce a golden elixir for many years - the aloof Xianyin Sect, but
Don't bother to care about whether the secular vassal country changes its surname. As long as the new king is still a disciple of the Xianyin Sect and can pay enough tribute, then the surname Yi will be changed.
Who said that the original royal family was not strong enough to withstand the attack of the younger generation?
In the Demonic Sect, it is the law of the jungle to eat the strong.
Ni and Kun walked and stopped along the way. Although there were many rest stops along the way, it only took less than two months to arrive at the largest island on the border of Chiba Kingdom, "Black Dragon Island".
And Ni Kun also spent his thirtieth birthday during the journey, and his potential points also increased a little.
…
Chiba Kingdom is known as the "Kingdom of Thousand Islands". Its territory is composed of nearly a thousand large and small islands. The small ones are only more than a hundred miles in diameter. The larger islands, such as Xingye Island where the capital is located, have a circumference of tens of thousands of miles.
These nearly a thousand small and large islands together form a long and narrow island belt running east-west.
Black Dragon Island is located at the westernmost end of this island belt. It is also a large island with a circumference of more than 8,000 miles.
The island has a large population, rich products, and prosperous maritime trade. The largest seaport, Heilong Port, has countless sea ships entering and exiting every day, handling massive amounts of goods.
At this moment, Zhao Xiulin drove the black wooden flying boat and flew openly over the Black Dragon Port, flying towards Black Dragon City, which was only more than ten miles away from the port.
She was going to the Black Dragon Island Governor's Mansion to recruit a large ship and take the ship to the Scarlet Huang Kingdom. Although the flying boat was fast, the riding experience was not very good. Traveling long distances in a flying boat in the Qi Refining realm would easily make you exhausted.
It is more comfortable to take a big ship, and it is also more convenient to practice on a big ship.
When Black Dragon City was in sight, Zhao Xiulin introduced Ni Kun with a smile:
"My lord, please see that Black Dragon City is built on a mountain. The lower city at the foot of the mountain is inhabited by mortals, with hundreds of thousands of permanent residents. The upper city on the mountain is where the Black Dragon Island garrison is located, and most of the monks who travel to and from Black Dragon Island are in the upper city.
live.
"There is also a monk market in the upper city. It is much larger than the casual monk market we met on the way, and the goods sold are much higher-end. If your lord is interested, we can go shopping later.
"In addition, Black Dragon Island has always been guarded by foundation-building monks from our royal family.
"Eighteen years ago, one of my great-aunts was the guard of Black Dragon Island. She was unable to join the sect because her bones did not meet the requirements of the Xianyin Sect. She only built a low-level Taoist foundation, but she was already in the late stage of foundation building.
Now, eighteen years later, it is not clear whether the guard of Black Dragon Island has been replaced!"
Having said this, she smiled and looked back at Ni Kun:
"Your Majesty, do you want to go to the capital of Chiba Kingdom to visit? I have many sisters of the same generation who are not inferior to slaves in appearance, and there are also some young and beautiful royal aunts and sisters-in-law. I can introduce them to your lord... By the way, I will join the sect.
It’s been eighteen years since we left home, and it’s time for my nieces to grow up..."
The royal sisters, as well as the young and beautiful royal aunt, the royal sister-in-law, and the younger generation of royal nieces...
Zhao Yaonv's words really made Ni Kun a little bit ready to make a move.
I am almost thirty years old in this life, and almost sixty years old in my two lifetimes combined. Is it ridiculous that I am still a virgin at home?
This is so fucking outrageous!
but……
In the capital of Chiba, it seems that the current Jindan ancestor of the Zhao family is in charge!
Although the ancestor of the Zhao family's golden elixir is only a low-grade golden elixir, the golden elixir is still a golden elixir.
Even if the sect's genius has a high level of Taoism and perfect foundation building, he can only parry in front of a low-grade golden elixir and has absolutely no power to fight back.
Perhaps only by building a "flawless Dao foundation" can it be possible to use the body of the foundation to defeat low-grade golden elixirs.
Ni Kun is only at the eighth level of Qi Refining, and he doesn't dare to hang out under Jin Dan's nose.
If the ancestor of the Zhao family sees something wrong, wouldn't it be like throwing himself into a trap and risking his own death?
At that moment, he shook his head and flatly refused:
"No need to worry. Just rest for two nights in Black Dragon City, and then continue on our way when the ship is ready."
Zhao Xiulin stuck out her tongue and said with regret:
"As you command, my lord."
The flying boat flew across the sky across the large and prosperous Black Dragon Lower City, and flew directly towards the Black Dragon Upper City built on the mountain.
