Chapter 408: Rogue cultivators rush to buy, floating boats come to help
Xu Song joined Dihuo Island, which greatly improved the morale of the monks on the island.
??This is especially true for those foundation-building monks, who feel that their future is bright.
??Although after he obtained the volume of "Duanyang Pill Essentials", he directly entered the assigned cave and began to retreat.
??It seems that at least within a few months, I will not be released until I have a thorough understanding.
??The opening of the Wanfa Tower, the Fire Room on the Island, the Cave Mansion and other important places is even more great news for those casual cultivators.
??The life of a casual cultivator is hard. In order to earn a few spiritual stones, you often have to risk your life.
??Fire chambers for refining weapons and elixirs, etc. Many of them are things that they would never dare to dream about.
??In today’s world of cultivation, although exercises and the like are not valuable, Taoist books related to skills are hard to find.
??There is almost no news about it, everyone is covering it up tightly.
??It is perfectly normal to pass on a son but not a daughter, and a son but not a daughter-in-law.
??What they are most interested in is often not refining weapons, refining elixirs, setting up formations, and drawing talismans.
??It’s the Spiritual Planting Technique.
??After all, although those things are good, they also require high talent and financial resources.
??Even cultivating families and small sects can only train one or two people at most, which is not what they can hope for.
??But it is not too difficult to learn how to cultivate one or two common Linggu Lingmi elixirs.
??The requirements for the growth and development of these low-level spiritual plants are not high.
??You don’t need a place with spiritual veins. A little spiritual energy is enough. It just grows more slowly. It’s not difficult to find.
??After harvesting, you don’t have to worry about not being able to sell it.
??Mastering one or two skills is the foundation of a small family.
??Like the abridged version of "Hundred Flowers Book" released by Luanhua Mountain, if it were to be sold, it would be worth hundreds or even thousands of spiritual stones.
??Even for those casual cultivators at the foundation level, it would be difficult to win.
??So Xie Duanyang was very considerate and separated the cultivation methods of these low-level spiritual plants.
??The lowest price for each item is, maybe three or two spiritual stones can be obtained.
??There is no need to take risks, just do a few months of work on Dihuo Island, and you can exchange it for a copy even if you have no choice.
??It can be expected that it will be attractive to those who practice qi and relax.
??Almost on the first day of official release, they took a total of over 100 photos, including many Lingmi Linggu seeds and seedlings.
??There are even a few sets of simple formations with simple spirit gathering and tracking effects.
??After all, Xie Duanyang has already received hundreds of spiritual stones without spending anything.
??Of course, there are cases where individual cultivators privately exchange and purchase Taoist books.
??But as long as he doesn't go too far, he will turn a blind eye and won't attack.
??There are very few completely pure and good people among casual cultivators, so how can they be so confident in communicating with others? After all, the proportion is too small.
??And there are thousands of miles of sea nearby. They want to buy seeds and sell the harvest, so the local Fire Island is the most suitable place. They will eventually have to return.
??It can be brewed into high-tech products such as spiritual wine and sold at a high price.
??After spending all the spiritual stones they had, those casual cultivators were eager to start working to make money.
??As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning.
??When Wanfa Tower first started, it can be said that it was a mess and a mess.
?? Even though Dongsong, Gong Tong and others had discussed and calculated for many days the chain reaction of receiving this batch of casual cultivators.
??Changes in the consumption of elixirs and spiritual stones.
??How much contribution is given for each errand, and how many spiritual stones are equivalent to it.
??But it cannot be flawless in the end. There are always some stumbling blocks when it first starts operating.
??Xie Duanyang watched with cold eyes, without any further intervention, and let them deal with it on their own.
??Fortunately, a few people are quite capable in handling chores, and things are not particularly complicated or difficult.
??In just six or seven days, we were on track.
??Those with shallow cultivation, calm temperament, and the ability to endure hardships can collect rations for spiritual beasts, cultivate Lingtian fisheries, and go down to the fire cave to mine.
??The underground volcano is a natural vein of fire, and there are naturally associated spiritual minerals in it.
??It’s just that the grade is low, the reserves are not particularly rich, and mining is difficult, so no one cares about it.
??But with those weapon-refining apprentices here, it is not difficult to refine several sets of fire-avoiding suits.
??The mine was opened, and several fire rooms were opened along the way.
??The one with deeper cultivation and adventurous spirit.
?? Then follow Xu Li to patrol the waters inside and outside the island, hunting and clearing out scattered sea beasts.
??Or sit in town.
??It is clear that the beast tide is approaching, but the island is showing a vitality and the momentum of all things competing.
??“It’s kind of interesting.”
??Looking at the busy scene of people going in and out at the entrance, the old man carrying an unsheathed mahogany sword and a copper bell hanging on his waist couldn't help but twitch his beard and take a swig of wine.
??It seems that although this Zhang Fashi is a new member of Danjie, he still has some skills in management.
??Also, the island protection formation looks unusual. It must have cost a lot of spiritual stones and favors.
??Conscious that he has seen enough, the old Taoist no longer restrained his magic power, and controlled the mahogany sword behind his back to turn into a rainbow and soar into the sky, circulating his magic power and shouting loudly.
??"Cao Xuan, the Yunshui envoy of the Hundred Islands Alliance, came to visit and asked Envoy Zhang to open the ban!"
??After shouting, he stopped talking and hung in the air, drinking the wine from the gourd.
?? He was not allowed to wait for long. Soon, the spiritual light flickered, and the white mist gathered by the formation dispersed, revealing an open passage.
??The retreat was interrupted again only after a few days.
??Xie Duanyang had no choice but to stop refining the elixir and convert it into mana, and went out to greet the guests.
??After hearing him explain the reason for his trip, he was also slightly surprised. He actually received a mission from the Hundred Islands Alliance and came to help Dihuo Island resist the beast tide.
??The organizational structure of the Hundred Islands Alliance is relatively loose, so on the contrary, it will provide many generous benefits to Yunshui users, Lianfa users, etc. who are deeply bound to them.
??Although most of the envoys are from casual cultivators and have lived on Fuzhou Island for a long time, there are also a few who have their own spiritual islands.
??In the first few beast tides after joining, the alliance will provide some support to help them gain a foothold.
??Historically, it’s not like there were no spiritual islands that felt unable to withstand the beast tide and chose to truly join the Hundred Islands Alliance.
??However, this kind of support has always been mainly based on material assistance in elixirs, magic weapons, and formations.
??There are still very few who directly send alchemy monks here.
??What’s more, Cao Xuan is still the Yunshui envoy at the peak of the middle stage of Mingjie Dan, and there are not many in Sihaitang.
??I don’t know whether it’s because the Hundred Islands Alliance attaches great importance to his status as a master of weapon refining, or because his cheap master Chi Tianyang unexpectedly advanced to the middle stage, so they gave him a good deal as a registered disciple.
??However, Cao Xuan also made it clear.
??The reason why we can allocate our own mid-stage alchemy formation this time is also because this time it is a wave of small beasts, and there is not much defensive pressure on the alliance.
??If we wait until ten years later, when the great beast tide occurs once in a century, it will be absolutely impossible for the Hundred Islands Alliance to do this again.
??It’s hard to say, but several monks will be transferred from Dihuo Island to support Ukifune Island.
"Originally, it was Laomo Meng who wanted to come over after hearing this, but he had already taken over another task from the alliance.
??He even approached the old Taoist privately to exchange..."
??Looking at Cao Xuan talking there with spitting and triumph, Xie Duanyang secretly shook his head.
??To be fair, the support from the Hundred Islands Alliance is not insignificant, but in fact, I would like to exchange it for material support such as spiritual stones and elixirs.
??Unless the transformation-level demon cultivator appears in person, or multiple seventh-level demonic beasts jointly attack, he is confident that he can defend Earth Fire Island.
??On the contrary, there is a master on the island. It is difficult for him to use his many methods, so he has to cover up a bit to avoid revealing his roots.
??However, in general, Xie Duanyang feels that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
??With more Cao Xuan in charge, he can save a lot of effort.
??You can relax and swallow the refining elixir, instead of going out to deal with various matters in retreat every few days like you have been doing recently.
?? He personally arranged a cave with rich spiritual energy for him, and spent several days taking Cao Xuan around the island and outside, introducing the names and positions of Gong Tong and others to him.
??After doing this, Xie Duanyang still did not retreat immediately.
??The regular monthly auction is about to be held, because it is almost the last time before the beast tide comes. Gong Tong and others plan to make the scale larger and release several important weapons.
??Now that Cao Xuan has arrived again, they hope that the two Jiedan will show up at the same time to raise the level even higher.
??This is a family matter, and Xie Duanyang cannot easily refuse.
??As for Cao Xuan, it is said that he needs to be given some benefits.
??However, Gong Tong's stewards found out that he was a drunkard and convinced him by promising some good wine on the altar.
??In addition, he also has a lot of bits and pieces on him, so it’s just a good opportunity to buy a few.
??Leave it to them to make preparations, while Xie and Cao exchanged Taoist teachings every day while drinking.
??Xie Duanyang didn't drink much at first, but in the past few days, he drank a lot.
??And the other party is indeed a monk in the middle stage of elixir formation. He is rich and has several medicinal herbs and weapon refining materials that he can use.
??Almost barely managed to collect Zhang Danfang's materials again, but the quantity is not large. It is estimated that at most two furnaces can be opened.
??After taking out half a bottle of Chi Jing Dan, it was easy to get it.
??Cao Xuan practices water method, which slightly conflicts with the effectiveness of Chi Jing Dan.
??But his cultivation level is comparable to that of Meng Shentong, and he is already at the peak of the middle stage. He is trying to collect some fire-type elixirs to stimulate his mana and see if he can break the bottleneck.
??Originally, this method will inevitably cause some damage to the body.
??However, Chijing Dan has mild medicinal properties and can minimize the disadvantages, which is exactly what it is used for.
??Although he knew that Zhu Yang Pill was also valuable here, Xie Duanyang did not continue the exchange.
??I have just formed elixirs for a few years, and it is also a time when I am extremely thirsty for elixirs.
??I can barely find a reason for taking out half a bottle, but if I take more, I'm afraid it will arouse the curiosity and suspicion of the other party.
??————
??After hearing about the last auction, two Jiedan personally showed up to host it, attracting more than twice as many monks as before.
??Even the owners of the islands closest to each other such as Bihong Valley, Ningcui Island, and Luolei Gorge also came after hearing the news.
??Of course they are not here for this small auction, but mainly to discuss the next defense with Xie Duanyang and Cao Xuan and form a simple offensive and defensive alliance.
??There were already several islands, but now that there is an extra Fire Island, the distribution of the defense lines will have to be slightly changed.
??Xie Duanyang would not refuse and readily agreed.
??Cao Xuan only stayed here for one moment, and when the time came, he patted his butt and left. Of course, he wouldn't talk too much, but just drank happily by the side.
??"Brother Zhang, I have tasted all the fine wines in the East China Sea.
??The taste of your pot of Drunken Immortal Peach is quite different..."
??Ploping the empty wine bottle on the table, he wiped his mouth, burped, and couldn't help but praise.
??That's natural. Many of the spiritual wines were brought by Xie Duanyang from Tiannan, Mulan, Tuwu and other places.
??Not to mention the East China Sea, even the entire Tiannan may not be visible.
??The effectiveness is another matter, but the taste is definitely different.
??“Every time the spiritual rice is harvested, I harvest part of it and use it to brew spiritual wine.
??It’s just that the heat is still shallow, and it will take another six or seven years at the earliest to have some flavor.
??What’s the harm in sending more than ten altars to Brother Cao when the time comes..."
??Xie Duanyang said casually, but he remembered the batch of Baihua Mountain Spirit Wine that he had buried in the Dark River Spirit Gathering Array before leaving Tiannan.
??Not to mention the previous year, it has been cellared for thirty years, and the quality is much better than the one that is being served to a few people today.
??I don’t know how many more years it will take before I can taste it.
??“Hey, these two Xuanbing bracelets are very good.
??With the achievements of Island Master Zhang, it must have taken a lot of effort to refine this thing, right?"
??Mrs. Qingzhu didn’t have much interest in spiritual wine, but she was interested in the grand finale of the auction.
??This pair of black ice bracelets were made by Xie Duanyang after refining them with Zhou Laohei's purple ice ring.
??The left and right bracelets each have different effects.
??One inherits the original trapping function, and can release cold air, freezing and slowing down the opponent's mana.
??The other one is used for protection. It can instantly lay out six black ice canopies around the body that are stronger than gold and iron.
??Even the attack of the Danjie monk can be blocked.
??There are many female cultivators in Bihong Valley, and this pair of black ice bracelets can be said to be just right for them.
??Of course, she would not openly take advantage of Xie Duanyang and add hundreds of spiritual stones to the original bid.
??As soon as Mrs. Qingzhu opened her mouth to form a pill, those foundation-building monks who participated in the auction immediately became dumbfounded and stopped.
??But in the end, she still failed to pocket the bracelet.
??Gong Qingyu also joined in. He is from the Ningcui Island lineage and is good at water and wood. He is also suitable for this bracelet. Mrs. Qingzhu stopped after calling out the second price.
??Their lineage in Bihong Valley has always been about being harmonious and making money, and does not offend people easily. Since the other party really wants it, there is no need to hurt the harmony between the two families at this juncture.
?? Putting the Xuanbing bracelet into the storage bag, Gong Qingyu showed a slight smile on his face.
??Among the new generation of Ningcui Island disciples, the pair of boys and girls he brought with him when Xie Duanyang formed the elixir had the best qualifications, and they both had hope of forming the elixir.
??The young man received a talisman as a reward from Xie Duanyang that day. As an uncle, it was hard for him to favor anyone, so he just made up for it today.
