On the second day, Li Xuangang sat in a teahouse in Donghaifang City with a gloomy face.
Because today, after he deliberately investigated Lian Chenglin's exploration of the ancient sect's ruins, he found out that this was just a piece of news secretly released by Haichaomen and Guiji Sect five years ago, and only a handful of people in Donghaifang City
The monks in the foundation-building stage knew about it, and after that, they lost their confidence.
In order to get more accurate information, Li Xuangang spent a lot of effort, through some special channels, and even spent a lot of spiritual stones to get it from a local casual cultivator in the foundation building period on Limeng Island.
Learn the ins and outs of this matter.
It turns out that there has been a rumor on Limeng Island that there is an archipelago in the deep sea of the East China Sea, called the Wanxing Islands, which was the residence of an ancient sect a long time ago. At that time, there were more than one member of this ancient sect.
The Nascent Soul Stage monk is in charge.
According to legend, this ancient sect had an extremely advanced alchemy inheritance. At that time, there was even a fifth-level alchemist in the sect who could refine the Infant-breaking Pill.
The Infant-Breaking Pill is the fifth-level elixir that can assist the Golden Pill monks to successfully break the pill and become a baby.
It is conceivable how attractive this ancient sect's ruins are to those Jindan monks. Let's not talk about whether we can find one or two remaining Baby-breaking Pills in the Wanxing Islands.
Relevant news is also worth the trip.
It is precisely because of this that for hundreds of thousands of years, many Jindan monks have gone to sea to find the specific location of the Ten Thousand Stars Islands, but without exception, they have all failed.
It was as if this ancient sect established on the Ten Thousand Stars Islands had never existed from the beginning.
Gradually, most of the Golden elixir monks gave up the search for it. Later, everyone stopped paying attention to this matter. They all believed that the Ten Thousand Stars Islands were just records of unknown authenticity in some ancient books. Maybe they were just ancient records.
The monk had nothing to do and made it up casually!
However, just five years ago, Lian Chenglin suddenly issued an order to Haichaomen and Guiji Sect, asking them to secretly contact the foundation-building casual cultivators in Donghaifang City, saying that they wanted to jointly carry out a mission.
At that time, Haichao Sect and Guiji Sect did not disclose the specific information of this mission, but later, some casual cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage spread the news, saying that Lian Chenglin had reached the peak of the Golden Core Stage and was preparing to organize people to go together.
Explore the location of the Ten Thousand Stars Islands deep in the East China Sea.
It is not known whether this news is true or not, but as soon as it appeared, it quickly spread among the foundation-building monks in Donghaifang City. Everyone seemed to be willing to believe this statement, although neither Lian Chenglin himself nor the Haichaomen and Guiji under his command
Zongdu did not admit this.
Later, for some unknown reason, the task of gathering most of the foundation-building casual cultivators in Donghaifang City was shelved, and neither Haichaomen nor Kameji Sect stopped talking about it. It seemed as if it had never happened.
.
In the end, since there was no news about the person responsible, the matter just ended.
It wasn't until Li Qingshui of Taiqiu Mountain learned about this matter from somewhere, and thought that since this ancient sect was located deep in the East China Sea, it must have extremely high attainments in the refining of treasure ships, so he told this matter back to his family.
Later, this also triggered the task of Li Xuangang being sent to Limeng Island by the patriarch Li Changqing to conduct a detailed investigation of the matter.
Unexpectedly, this was the case. Li Xuangang thought that his seventeenth uncle Li Qingshui might not have known the inside story, and thought that Lian Chenglin really intended to organize monks to explore the Ten Thousand Stars Islands.
...
Sitting on a wooden table by the window and watching the people coming and going below, Li Xuangang slowly took a sip of the tea in his hand. He was thinking about whether he should continue to stay in Donghaifang City.
Because there is no certainty about this operation, God knows whether Lian Chenglin will really organize such an operation. If this is just a random rumor from the group of foundation-building period cultivators, could he have been waiting in Donghaifang City like this?
?
After careful consideration, Li Xuangang finally decided to send a jade tube to explain the situation and ask the family about their intentions before making a decision.
If the family wants him to wait for an opportunity in Donghaifang City, then he can only stay in Donghaifang City for a while first.
After making his decision, Li Xuangang paid for the tea, got up and left the teahouse, heading towards the port of Donghaifang City.
If he wanted to send a message to his family, he might have to trouble Wang Zhirong of the Wang family in Qingyuan Mountain.
Walking to the port where the ship disembarked the day before, Li Xuangang saw the treasure ship of the Wang family in Qingyuan Mountain here.
Since the Wang family has its own family store in Donghaifang City, it is still loading and unloading some resources between the store and the Qingyuanshan family residence.
Boarding the treasure ship, he found Wang Zhirong, who was still a little confused when he saw Li Xuangang appearing in front of him again.
"Did Fellow Daoist Li change his mind and prepare to go back with me?"
Hearing Wang Zhirong's teasing, Li Xuangang smiled slightly and said:
"Fellow Daoist Wang is joking. I have no idea of going back yet. I came to disturb Friend Wang this time because I want you to do me a favor."
Wang Zhirong became a little interested, so he asked:
"I wonder what Fellow Daoist Li wants me to do?"
Immediately, Li Xuangang took out a sound-transmitting jade tube from his storage bag, handed it to the other party, and said:
"If it's convenient for you, Daoist Wang, can you help me bring this sound-transmitting jade tube to my seventeenth uncle Li Qingshui. He is currently in Baicao Pavilion in Binhaifang City. I think Fellow Daoist Wang should have been there."
Taking over the sound-transmitting jade tube from Li Xuangang, Wang Zhirong smiled and said in a promising tone:
"Since Fellow Daoist Li believes in me, I can't let you down. Don't worry, this jade tube will definitely appear in Baicao Pavilion in two months."
Li Xuangang thanked him and said:
"Well, thank you so much, Fellow Daoist Wang. If you need me for anything in the future, please feel free to ask."
After explaining the serious matters, the two chatted for a while, and the conversation ended only after Li Xuangang said goodbye.
Walking on the streets of Donghaifang City, Li Xuangang was not worried that Wang Zhirong would peek at the sound-transmitting jade tube, because the sound-transmitting jade tube was an extremely fragile low-level magic weapon. If it was not opened by a specific person, the jade tube would be opened by a specific person.
It will collapse the moment it is opened, and all contents inside will disappear.
After Li Xuangang left, Wang Zhirong took out the sound-transmitting jade tube from the storage bag, put it in his hand and played with it.
"What on earth does Li Xuangang want to do in Donghaifang City?"
Because he also knew the characteristics of the sound-transmitting jade tube, Wang Zhirong never had the idea of forcibly opening it.
In the end, he decided to send the jade tube to Baicao Pavilion in Binhaifang City in accordance with Li Xuangang's request. Of course, he also decided to report this matter to his family.
...
In the next year, Li Xuangang started practicing in Donghaifang City with peace of mind.
In this year, he not only replaced all the black stones in the realm source space with spiritual stones, but the success rate of refining ruby pills also increased by 10% to 50%.
Nearly 30,000 spirit stones were neatly stacked in the Jieyuan space by him and Zheng Da.
As for the sound-transmitting jade tube he sent to his seventeenth uncle Li Qingshui, he also received a reply.
The sound transmission jade tube transmitted from Taiqiu Mountain has only four words: wait for the opportunity!
With the arrangement from his family, Li Xuangang was able to practice with peace of mind this year.
Finally, a full year after he came to Donghaifang City, Zhengda also successfully broke through to the ninth level of Qi Refining with the assistance of the blood essence of the third-level night guinea pig.
The next step is to consider how to enter the realm of foundation building.
Walking with Zheng Da in Donghaifang City, when they reached an area where casual cultivators gathered, Zheng Da broke away from behind Li Xuangang and entered the gathering area of casual cultivators. Li Xuangang, on the other hand, continued to walk forward.
Zheng Da went to help him collect information about the refining of the treasure ship. Since it was uncertain whether Lian Chenglin would organize an action, Li Xuangang thought: Can he get the refining blueprints of the treasure ship from other channels?
The information among casual cultivators is obviously the largest and most complex. Although there is no guarantee that it will be reliable, it is better than nothing.
After separating from Zhengda, Li Xuangang came to Zhu Guangshou's grocery store.
In the past year, he had sold black stones here several times, and thanks to Zhu Guangshou's deliberate friendship, he had become familiar with him.
Seeing Li Xuangang coming over again, Zhu Guangshou put down the pot-shaped magic weapon he was wiping and said to Li Xuangang with a smile:
"Fellow Daoist Li, how many good goods have we obtained this time? Take them out and have a look."
Li Xuangang also responded and said:
"Fellow Daoist Zhu praises me too much. How can I get the ore resources every time? I got some luck in the past few times."
The smile on Zhu Guangshou's face continued, he picked up a piece of cloth next to him and wiped his hands to wipe away the dark red traces left between his fingers, then walked out of the counter and invited Li Xuangang to sit down on the wooden chair in the lobby.
But he conjured a tea set out of nowhere and said:
"It's a coincidence that Fellow Daoist Li is here this time. Today I just received a batch of spiritual tea brought from the Xianyuan Sect. It just so happens that you can help me test the quality of this batch of spiritual tea."
Li Xuangang just used his peripheral vision to swipe the cloth Zhu Guangshou used to wipe his hands, and immediately understood something.
He also sat down at Zhu Guangshou's request and said:
"In this way, you are taking advantage of fellow Daoist Zhu again."
While pouring tea for Li Xuangang, Zhu Guangshou said seemingly casually:
"Whatever Fellow Daoist Li is talking about, we have been together many times. It's just a little low-level spiritual tea. It's not a bargain."
"Besides, as a senior in the foundation-building stage, Fellow Daoist Li Jiu wouldn't care much about this little thing about this junior."
Li Xuangang's hand stopped picking up the tea cup, and there was a hint of coldness in his eyes. The other party had actually noticed his true cultivation level.
His expression changed slightly, then returned to normal, put down the tea cup in his hand, and said:
"It seems that Fellow Daoist Zhu has already noticed it, but Li doesn't understand why Fellow Daoist Zhu only pointed it out to me now."
Looking at the tea cup that Li Xuangang put down, Zhu Guangshou did not panic like other Qi Refining casual cultivators when they saw the Foundation Establishment monks, but calmly took a sip of the spiritual tea.
