With astonishing speed, Bai Ran finally arrived at the sea near Tianxing City under the stern eyes of some monks.
Seeing that there were only a few days left before he could fly to the destination, Bai Ran changed out of his blood-colored cloak and used an ordinary light-escape one instead.
The current sea area must be mixed with dragons and snakes. Even if there are Nascent Soul Stage monks here, it is not impossible.
Bai Ran didn't want to attract the attention of someone of this level, so he naturally had to keep a low profile.
Fortunately, he had not heard that anyone from the Counter Star Alliance had appeared nearby. It seemed that it was not too late, and he naturally felt much more relaxed.
Ahead is the last transit island to reach Star City, "Nanming Island". Although it is not large, there are a large number of Star Palace monks stationed in it, and it can be regarded as the outer sentry of Star City.
In the past, this island port must have been full of large and small ships coming in and out, and there were many mortal monks coming and going.
But now when Bai Ran scanned it from the sky, there were only a dozen or so small boats. Even the monks only occasionally flew in and out.
It seems that those mortals and monks doing business also know that a war is about to start here, and they have honestly avoided this period of time.
Most of the immortal cultivators who dare to enter and leave this island now are people from various large and small forces who come to snoop out the rumors.
Bai Ran felt a little tired after traveling for such a long time. He planned to stop on the island for a while and go to the island city to replenish a batch of supplies that would be used in the outer star sea.
After all, I don’t know what’s going on in Tianxing City now? It’s best to complete the replenishment here, so as to avoid any accidents and being caught off guard.
As soon as Bai Ran flew off, he felt that the alert level of "Nanming Island" was obviously much higher than before.
As soon as he entered the formation range of the port, he felt that the consciousness of at least three monks in the alchemy stage swept over him at the same time, and there was even one that followed him for a long time, and saw that there was nothing suspicious about him.
, then automatically disappeared.
It can be seen that the people in the Star Palace are also on guard against sudden attacks by people from the Counter Star Alliance.
At this time, Bai Ran calmly headed straight to the island's market.
The Fangshi on Nanming Island was built in a small town not far from the island's port. It was set up here entirely to facilitate the monks and merchants passing by.
Bai Ran has been here once before.
This place may not be as famous and vast as the markets on several big islands, but the items sold here are extremely complete, not even half inferior to other places. They are even slightly cheaper than those in Tianxing City.
Because there are a lot of goods shipped to Star City, we simply unload the goods on this island, and then let Star City merchants pull the goods from this island.
Bai Ran didn't have much time to waste, so as soon as he entered the city, he took out the Nine-Tune Spiritual Ginseng formula given by Old Demon Xuan Gu and read it carefully.
After memorizing the required raw materials and elixirs, he began to search around at various raw material stores.
..."Senior, I'm really sorry! I've been running a raw material store for such a long time, and I've never heard of the raw material 'Qianye Dew'. As for the 'Agate Horn', this thing is owned by the rare monster Agatemon."
Most monks have no chance to see a raw unicorn. I'm afraid the seniors will have to go to other shops or major auction houses to have a look."
This was a large hall. Standing in front of Bai Ran was a middle-aged monk with good features. He spoke to Bai Ran cautiously.
"You are the largest raw material store here. If you don't have this item, other stores will not have it. As for the various auction houses, I don't have time to wait for any auctions now." Bai Ran frowned and sat in the middle.
The young monk sat on a wooden chair in front of him, tapping the handle of the chair next to him with one finger, and said with some dissatisfaction.
The middle-aged monk showed a hint of embarrassment after hearing Bai Ran's words, but he really had no choice but to continue to accompany Smiley to what Bai Ran wanted.
After all, the person in front of him was a rare master in the Dan Formation stage, and he did not dare to offend him easily.
Seeing the shopkeeper's appearance, Bai Ran knew that the shopkeeper really didn't have these two things. He had no choice but to sigh, stand up and walk out.
It seems that the only way to refine the last two elixirs that Jiuqu Lingshen lacks is to find another way.
However, the Nine-Tune Spiritual Ginseng can only be used until he reaches the peak of the later stage of pill formation and begins to condense the Nascent Soul, so he is not in a hurry.
But when the middle-aged monk was sending Bai Ran to the door, he seemed to think of something. After hesitating for a moment, he suddenly said to Bai Ran again.
"Actually, that 'Qianye Lu' may not be available in our store. It may just be that the name has been changed."
"Oh! What do you mean by this?" Bai Ran's eyes flashed, he stopped and asked curiously.
"I am not boasting, I have been working in this raw material shop for more than a hundred years. I have seen all kinds of strange raw materials. If there are really any raw materials or elixirs that I have not heard of, then there is a high probability that they are
The name of this thing is the name of the monks in ancient times, but now it has been changed to other names. This kind of thing has happened to me several times before. Maybe the Qianye Dew that the elders mentioned is just a very common elixir nowadays.
That's all." The middle-aged man said honestly.
After hearing this, Bai Ran's heart moved. He felt that what the other party said made sense.
After all, Jiuqu Lingshen is a legendary fairy elixir. Its refining formula is probably handed down from ancient times. It seems that only by checking some ancient classics can we find the true form of Qianye Dew.
Got pregnant.
Thinking of this, Bai Ran nodded calmly and walked out of the store silently.
In the following time, Bai Ran collected all the various elixir recipes that can be used by monks in the elixir-forming stage to prepare for future elixir refining.
As for other auxiliary materials needed for alchemy, he would prepare sufficient quantities for those that could not be induced by vials.
If he goes to the outer star sea this time, he probably won't be able to come back in a short time. Bai Ran doesn't want to let his alchemy plan fail because of the lack of some ordinary raw materials, which will affect his progress in cultivation.
Now that he has several ancient treasures in hand, and with some formation support, it should not be a problem to deal with level six and seven monsters. Of course, if he encounters a level eight monster, he will still have to run away.
After all, once a monster reaches the eighth level, it is said that part of its body will transform into a human form, and its intelligence will become the same as that of ordinary people.
Even because of their extraordinary talents, they are three points more powerful than the Nascent Soul Stage monks of the same level.
Bai Ran didn't want to meet such a truly spirited monster!
In just half a day, Bai Ran collected everything, left Fangshi and immediately flew to the port.
By this time, the sky had darkened, and the night was misty and somewhat blurry.
Bai Ran had just flown out for a short distance when suddenly a ray of light burst out from the front, followed by a rumble from the direction of the port.
Bai Ran's expression suddenly changed drastically, and he hurriedly activated all his magic power, turning into a blue rainbow and shooting away through the air.
Before he could fly near the port, Dunguang suddenly stopped.
He looked at the scene in front of him with an ugly expression.
In the sky not far away, countless rays of green, red and other colors were overwhelmingly pressing down on the large formation at the port, and roars and explosions erupted from time to time.
Looking at the momentum, it looked like there were at least a thousand monks taking action at the same time.
A layer of red light rose from the formation below, blocking most of the attacks.
Under the light, there were also many monks dressed in white, who also used magic weapons to desperately fight back against the sneak attacks in the sky.
Bai Ran felt a wry smile in his heart.
The actions of the Counter Star Alliance were really fast. Even though they were rushing against all odds, the battle still broke out before their eyes.
Now that the war is going on, there must be a special channel in Tianxing City to get the news immediately.
Even if he rushes back to Tianxing City now, he might not be able to make it in time.
Bai Ran, who was extremely annoyed, looked gloomy for a long time. Suddenly he stamped his feet and his figure was distorted and disappeared, completely disappearing.
He didn't want to get involved in the war between the two groups.
But his consciousness quietly let go. Slowly.
If he guessed correctly, the area around the port would soon become lively.
Sure enough, not long after, there were a lot of escaping lights flying from Nanming Island. But as soon as they arrived nearby, they all disappeared and landed quietly nearby, watching the battle coldly.
Most of them were monks in the foundation-building stage, with over a hundred people in total, and dozens of courageous Qi-refining stage monks were also among them.
As for the monks at the Dan-formation stage like Bai Ran, there are only five or six of them. The one with the highest level of cultivation is only a cultivator at the mid-level Dan-formation stage seven or eight miles away.
This person was hiding on a hill there, silently. Bai Ran's consciousness far exceeded this person, so he didn't notice Bai Ran's peeping.
Bai Ran, who has practiced the Dayan Art, has a spiritual consciousness that is not as powerful as that of Ji Yin and others, but the difference is not too far away. Even if there are early Nascent Soul monks hiding nearby, Bai Ran can still sense it a little bit.
As far as Bai Ran knows, most of the Nascent Soul Stage monks linger in the early stages throughout their lives and cannot go any further.
Seeing that there were no such old monsters in the Nascent Soul stage nearby, Bai Ran finally breathed a sigh of relief.
However, since the Counter Star Alliance dares to attack Nanming Island this time, it seems that the person in charge will at least be a Nascent Soul stage monk. Bai Ran does not want to show up to meet this person rashly.
The battle in the direction of the port did not last long.
When the red clouds and various colors of light intertwined and flickered, another large number of gray-white brilliance full of evil spirits also joined the attack.
Under the joint bombardment of the densely packed magic weapons and spells, the large formation below could no longer withstand it.
After a roar, the red light flashed several times and exploded with a tearing sound.
However, I don’t know whether it was the residual power of the formation or the deliberate action of the Star Palace monks below. The fragments of red light flying into the sky were like flashes of light, and they actually caused the formation of the monks of the Counter Star Alliance to line up in the sky.
of chaos.
Taking this opportunity, the Xinggong monks below seemed to have agreed upon it, and flew away in all directions.
Several rays of light were extremely dazzling, and they rushed out of the port from a low altitude at extremely fast speeds.
It seems that he is a high-level monk who stayed on this island from Xing Gong.
Almost at the same time, more than ten equally strong rainbows suddenly shot out from the sky, and they chased after them without showing any sign of weakness.
In an instant, these escaping lights disappeared without a trace.
It seems that the top leaders of the Counter Star Alliance want to catch all the Star Palace monks on Nanming Island and do not want to let go of any of them.
At this time, many Counter Star Alliance monks began to slowly descend from the sky.
Judging by their clothes, they clearly belong to two groups.
One is wearing a silver fir waist with a gold belt, and the other is a strange monk wearing a green robe.
It seems that both good and evil forces are dispatched at the same time!
Bai Ran was a little surprised that the battle ended so quickly, but also felt that it was reasonable.
After all, the disparity in strength between the two sides is really huge. Even if the monks from Star Palace want to fight tooth and nail, they may have more than enough ambition but not enough energy.
However, Bai Ran couldn't help but secretly wonder if he should take advantage of the chaos and leave the island.
At this time, an old man in green robes shot out from among the group of green-robed monks.
Bai Ran's spiritual consciousness briefly scanned his body, and he could see that he was in the early stages of pill formation.
This person calmly flew to the sky above Bai Ran and the others. After looking around with a pair of sharp eyes, he said in a deep voice:
"Fellow Taoists, please listen. I, the Protector of the Counter-Star Alliance, Cang Yunlong, am here to inform you of something in the name of Elder Wang. Now our alliance has just defeated the people of the Star Palace. In order to avoid any misunderstandings, I hope that all of you will not hold on for the time being."
Hurry and leave the island. Wait for two hours to arrive.
After the hunt for the remnants of Xing Gong is completed, everyone can leave on their own. Fellow Taoists, please rest assured that this alliance is only targeting Xing Gong and his accomplices. We will never leave other comrades in trouble." The old man's voice was not loud, but it was unusually clear, making people nearby
All the monks watching the battle heard it clearly.
After hearing this, the monks lurking nearby couldn't help but look at each other.
No one stepped forward to take the lead and say something, and no one asked for trouble by speaking out against it.
There was silence for a moment!
After hearing this, Bai Ran felt relieved.
It seems that the Counter Star Alliance will not make things difficult for them in order to win over people's hearts.
It'll be later! Anyway, he is rushing to Tianxing City now, and he still doesn't know how to sneak into the city!
Just when Bai Ran was thinking this, the old man in green robe had already flown back to the port without saying a word.
Bai Ran looked at the other person's disappearing back, with no intention of leaving the place.
The other monks did not leave the port area either because of their missions or not, and closely watched the actions of the Counter-Covenant monks.
At this time, the monks in silver shirts and gold belts were dismantling the original formation in an orderly manner, and began to install and arrange their own formations.
The green-robed monks were divided into two groups. One group flew out of the port and was on alert. The other group flew directly over Bai Ran's head and went straight to the island to search.
I saw these monks, silent and busy with their work.
Bai Ran was a little surprised!
It seems that both good and evil have already begun to disrupt the idea of Xinghai hegemony.
Otherwise, such well-trained disciples cannot be trained in just a few decades.
This Nanming Island will also become the outpost for the attack on Tianxing City.
However, Bai Ran was also a little surprised. Could it be that Xing Gong was just passively waiting for the attack of the good and the devil, and was he really too weak to fight back? Or was it that the two saints of heaven and stars had not officially left seclusion yet. Xing Gong wanted to wait for some time.
, it’s better to strike later.
Bai Ran felt a little puzzled in his heart. However, he changed his mind and started laughing again.
No matter what tricks and trump cards Xinggong and Zhengmo each have, what does this have to do with him being a mere casual cultivator? Why should he spend more time on this!
Just be careful and don't get involved.
After thinking about it this way, Bai Ran regained his composure.
After watching quietly for more than two hours, the old man in green robe came back with three monks who were in the alchemy stage like him.
"Fellow Taoists who want to leave the island, as long as they show tokens or exercises that can prove your identity, you can leave safely. If you don't want to leave, you can still stay on the island. As long as you don't have any suspicion of our Counter Star Alliance
Hostility and all rules remain the same as before." The old man floated in mid-air and said loudly toward the bottom.
After hearing this, the monks below became commotion for a while, but then became quiet again.
Although this person said so politely, no one had the intention to show up first.
It's just a matter of righteous monks. These monks who look like demons at first glance didn't have a very good reputation in the past.
What if someone is playing a hard-to-get trick, and they will be caught themselves? Although the possibility seems very small, no one wants to take risks, and wants to let others try it first.
Bai Ran also didn't move.
The other party is only a monk in the elixir formation stage. As long as he does not take the initiative to reveal himself, their spiritual consciousness will not be able to detect him.
He won't do this to show off!
It was quiet for a long time, and when the green-robed old man's face began to darken, a ray of white light finally shot out from below.
The speed of escaping light is not very fast, and inside is a monk in green clothes who looks very young.
"Xin Ming, a disciple of the Kaitian Clan, has met several seniors. This junior's token is the White Water Sword." The young man flew to the old man obediently and said respectfully after saluting. Then he took out a small white water sword from his body.
The sword was handed over.
"Oh, Kaitianmen! Your sect leader Liu Zhenren has met me once. This sword is indeed a must-have magical weapon for Kaitianmen disciples. You can go." The old man took the small sword and only looked at it briefly.
, and returned it to the young man with a calm expression.
The white-clothed monk was immediately overjoyed. He respectfully said goodbye and flew to the port. As expected, no one from the Counter-Star Alliance monks came to stop him on the way.
As soon as someone took the lead and seemed to be fine, other monks appeared one after another and began to fly towards the old man.
The old man seems to have a lot of experience. No matter what kind of token or skill anyone shows, he can recognize it at a glance.
This made Bai Ran, who was watching below, secretly marvel.
However, when Bai Ran saw that a pill-forming monk was also let through without any hindrance, he couldn't hold back his anger.
Suddenly he appeared and turned into a blue light flying to the sky.
"Who is this fellow Taoist?" The old man could tell at a glance Bai Ran's cultivation level at the pill formation stage, and his tone was naturally a little more tactful.
"I am the elder of Miaoyin Menkeqing. This is my belt. Fellow Taoist, please take a look!" Fortunately, Bai Ran was carrying the elder's belt given by Fairy Zi Ling that day. He took it out without hesitation and handed it to the other party.
.
"Miaoyin Sect? I heard that there seem to be two elders in your sect, Bai and Qu. They often retreat and practice hard, and they never reveal themselves. I wonder if you are one of them?" The old man in green robe carefully looked at the waist badge.
Then he looked at Bai Ran and asked slowly.
Bai Ran's heart trembled, but his face showed a smile as usual:
"My surname is Bai! I didn't expect that fellow Taoists would even know about unknown wild cultivators like me. I really admire you!"
"Haha! It's nothing. Your sect's reputation is not small in Luan Xinghai. Especially your sect's Purple Spirit Fairy. My young master has admired her for a long time. I hope fellow Taoist can bring this to you." Green
The old man in the robe said with a smile, and was extremely polite.
"Young Master? I don't know what you are talking about..." Bai Ran flashed a hint of surprise and asked hesitantly.
"My young master is the only descendant of the Holy Ancestor. Although few people knew it before, he will surely be famous in the stars in the future." The old man had not yet spoken, but another strong man who had been silent standing behind him suddenly interrupted.
Said coldly.
"Okay, if I see the sect master, I will definitely change my words!" Bai Ran was a little surprised, but he agreed wholeheartedly.
"Okay! There is nothing wrong with this token. Fellow Taoist Bai can leave." The old man in green robe seemed to be very satisfied with Bai Ran's reply. He played with the token for a moment and gave it back to Bai Ran without any further trouble.
Bai Ran hugged his fists and then flew away calmly.
Seeing Bai Ran turn into a blue rainbow, he disappeared in the blink of an eye. But the old man stared at the direction where Bai Ran disappeared, with a strange look on his face.
We can only wait honestly for the war to end, and then leave quietly.
