"Fellow Taoist, it's best to use magic to protect your body!"
Holding the handle of the stone box, Ye Gongkai looked at Zhang Feng and said.
While speaking, he raised his fingers and cast several protective spells on himself and his two disciples.
He didn't look like he was joking. Zhang Feng had a sudden thought and cast a few protective spells.
With a soft drink, Ye Gongkai exerted his strength with both hands, exhaled loudly, and the stone box several feet thick was opened by him.
Where is the lid? It is obviously a large stone slab several feet thick, stuffed into the stone box like a plug.
Before the stone plug was completely pulled out, a small crack appeared, and countless sharp points shot up into the sky.
Even though he was blessed with several protective spells, Zhang Feng still felt as if his skin had been cut by a knife, as if he had been stabbed by countless sharp weapons.
The field of vision was filled with white light, and nothing could be seen.
"How about it? What I have is enough for thirty-five thousand spiritual stones, just a little more."
Hiding behind the thick stone slabs, Ye Gongkai said with a smile as if he was on the side of a golden sun.
"That's enough, what else do you want?"
A voice suddenly sounded in the quiet room, Xu Wen appeared in a flash, raised his hand and pushed the lid of the stone box, and the golden brilliance slowly disappeared.
The ghost king's robe suddenly became powerful before, which was the result of Xu Wen's secret manipulation.
Otherwise, just relying on the imprint inside the robe would be far from being able to do so easily.
As soon as Ye Gongkai opened the stone box, he immediately understood that there was an incredible treasure that Zhang Feng could not deal with, so he rushed over in person.
Hearing Xu Wen's voice, the horrified Zhang Feng calmed down.
He blinked for a while before regaining his sight. After bowing to Xu Wen, he looked around the quiet room with lingering fear.
There were countless wounds on the walls, floors, and roofs, as if they had been slashed by many swords, guns, swords, and halberds.
He now finally knew why Ye Gongkai used such a thick stone box to contain this treasure.
Except for such thick things, other things probably cannot withstand such abuse. Even if they can withstand it for a while, they will inevitably be damaged over time.
Seeing Xu Wen, Ye Gongkai immediately pulled his two juniors to bow respectfully and said loudly:
"I have nothing else to ask for. I just ask Island Master Xu to reward me with a foundation-building spiritual object and allow my disciple to build a foundation on Jinghong Island."
A foundation-building monk has no status in front of Master Jindan. Even if the other party wants to rob him, he has no way to do it.
Jinghong Island had only been established not long ago, and Xu Wen's reputation in this area had always been very good, so he took the risk to exchange this rare item for the Foundation Establishment Pill.
As for why he didn't use it on himself, even though he looked young, it was actually just the effect of taking the Beauty Pill.
His actual age is nearly three hundred years old, and he has long since lost all hope of success.
"good!"
For low-level monks, foundation-building spiritual objects are extremely rare, but to Xu Wen now, they are nothing.
After sizing his disciple up a few times, he took out some diluted one-yuan water essence from Xuanji Cave, handed it to the disciple and said:
"You practice fire-attribute skills. These one-yuan water essence can neutralize the excessive fire in your body and can increase the chance of foundation building by about 10%."
"There are many caves on Jinghong Island, which are specially designed for everyone to retreat to the realm. When the time comes, I will choose one with a purer spiritual energy!"
"Thank you, senior!"
Ye Gongkai's ability to train his disciples was pretty good. Although he was only at the Qi Refining stage, he was very calm when facing Xu Wen, making Xu Wen nod secretly.
After settling the matter and putting away the stone box, Xu Wen flashed back to the city lord's mansion and then entered the Mysterious Cave.
Pull out the stone plug, the white sun appears again, and countless sharp golden energy is about to rush out.
With five fingers spread out, tyrannical mana spread all around, forcing the sharp sword energy back into the stone box.
His arm was submerged into the stone box, and when he came back, there was an extremely bright white irregular metal block in his five fingers.
Xu Wen didn't know how Ye Gongkai obtained this thing, but he was sure that Ye Gongkai had no idea what it was.
With his ability, he couldn't see this treasure clearly.
The next moment, a soft cry suddenly sounded in Xu Wen's ears.
The blue-scaled sword shot out with electricity and kept spinning around the metal block, sending out waves of longing but fearful emotions.
Purple light flashed, and the golden lock appeared. He looked at the white metal carefully, and his little face was full of surprise.
To be able to make both the Green Scale Sword and the Purple Gold Dragon Chain perform like this, this thing is definitely a treasure.
The Heavenly Eye Treasure Light Technique was activated, and when he looked at the metal block, a bright orange light rose. This was another fourth-level treasure.
Only a fourth-level treasure can make the Green Scale Sword behave like this.
Infused with the mind, exposure turns into a wave of confidence:
Star Adamantite is a fourth-level spiritual object that can breed metallic magic weapons and spirits.
With a shock in his heart, Xu Wen suddenly understood the reason why the Blue Scale Sword behaved like this. This thing could actually help him advance to the level of magic weapon.
Any creature, when faced with a treasure that can enhance its life level, behaves in the same way.
However, the current level of Qinglin Sword is far inferior to that of the opponent.
If the two are directly put together, it is most likely that he was absorbed by the star adamantine stone and turned into a piece of scrap metal after absorbing the metal essence, rather than that he was promoted to a magic weapon.
With his thoughts together, Xu Wen's magic power surged out, sealing most of the star adamantine stone in ice, leaving only a soybean-sized piece exposed.
The magic power was like a blade, slashing down the black ice, sparks flying everywhere, and a shallow white scratch appearing on the star adamantine stone.
With Xu Wen's current magic power, even fine steel would be cut open with this palm strike, but on the star fine gold stone, it would only have this effect.
He raised his palm and struck repeatedly. After dozens of blows, the soybean-sized piece of star adamantite was struck off.
The moment the star's fine gold stone cracked, a bolt of golden energy shot out and hit Xu Wen's face.
A fourth-level spiritual object is indeed extraordinary, even a dead object has such performance.
With a dark feeling in his heart, the Beiming Sutra was running rapidly, and a ball of black ice appeared in an instant, tightly wrapping the golden energy and the star fine gold stone together.
The golden energy poked continuously, and when he saw that Beiming Xuanbing was still helpless, he suddenly retracted and hid inside the star fine gold stone.
These golden energies are the original power of the star adamantium stone, but unlike ordinary spiritual objects, these golden energies will not be consumed in vain, but will return to the treasure.
With a flick of his fingers, this star fine gold stone fell on the Blue Scale Sword and quickly penetrated deep into it.
A white spot suddenly appeared on the originally colorful sword body, and countless colorful lights surrounded the white spot, constantly rotating.
A few days later, a golden energy was suddenly pulled out from the white spots and merged into the colorful light, which suddenly became brighter.
After silently calculating, Xu Wen couldn't help but shook his head, but this process was very slow, and it would take at least several decades for the Green Scale Sword to absorb all these white spots.
If you want to use this method alone to promote the Green Scale Sword to become a magic weapon, Xu Wen's golden elixir may not be exhausted until that day, so he must have many other methods.
However, he is not in a hurry. Upgrading a magic weapon to a magic weapon is the same as a monk's upgrade to the Nascent Soul. It is an extremely difficult process.
With such a stable and certain method, you can enjoy yourself secretly, how can you ask for more.
Moreover, every time it absorbs a bit of energy, the Blue Scale Sword will become more powerful. There is no doubt about this.
Fortunately, this star fine gold stone fell into the hands of Ye Gongkai, a foundation-building monk. If it fell into the hands of other golden elixirs or Nascent Souls, they would never be able to sell it, no matter how many spiritual stones or spiritual objects they had.
Let Qinglin Jian wander around the Xuanji Cave by himself, Xu Wen came out of the cave, and He Jiu was already waiting outside the mansion.
Seeing Xu Wen come out, he hurriedly stepped forward and said:
"Island owner, the interrogation came out. Those guys are not from the Sixth Ring Island at all, but a group of pirates..."
It turned out that after catching Cai Mengqing, Xu Wen always felt that the other party's behavior did not seem to be impromptu, so he ordered He Jiu to interrogate several people in detail.
After the first trial, it was discovered that the other party was indeed prepared.
They seemed to realize that the Ghost King's robe was not a real person. They thought Xu Wen couldn't get away, so they thought they were smart and wanted to take a chance.
Of course, they were not the only ones who had this suspicion, but they were the most impatient and the first to jump out.
Fortunately, Xu Wen had returned at that time and personally activated the Ghost King's robe, which immediately extinguished many people's luck.
But this incident is also a warning. As Jinghong Island gradually shows its strength and is coveted by more and more people from all aspects, their manpower shortage problem will become more and more prominent.
Several foundation builders can see flaws in the golden statue of Buddha and the robe of the Ghost King. Other golden elixirs have this suspicion even more, but they are just more calm.
For such a large island, Xu Wen only had one golden elixir, Hao Yefu and four other foundation builders, which was really stretched.
No matter how strong a few people are, they are still incapable of doing everything, and it is impossible to cover everything.
Fortunately, Xu Wen has already absorbed Zhuang Jiale and his team. When they officially join Jinghong Island, the shortage of manpower will inevitably be greatly alleviated.
But to completely control the entry into Jinghong Island, we still have to wait for Zuo Mingyue, Liu Minghe and others to arrive.
"Island Master, what should I do with those three foundations?"
When Xu Wen finished thinking, He Jiu asked in a low voice.
"Everyone will be executed, including those they brought to the island, and they will be hung on various docks for ten years as a warning to those who come after them."
Xu Wen ordered coldly.
He Jiu also believed that no one would have the slightest pity for such a person who dared to openly rob at the auction.
As for whether the people they brought were involved or innocent, it didn't matter. Being on the wrong team was the biggest original sin, and the rest was unimportant.
Five days later, the Foundation Establishment Pill Conference came to an end.
Xu Wen came forward again to give lectures to hundreds of foundation-building monks. This was not a metaphysical discussion about the Great Dao, but specific insights into breaking through obstacles and cultivating.
At the same time, Xu Wen also secretly asked Hao Yefu and others to pay attention to those casual cultivators who were building foundations and recruit some pure and reliable people.
If Jinghongdao wants to develop, it is one thing for its own people to be vigorous and diligent, but it is also important to vigorously absorb new blood.
He does not reject the flow of people, and he can lead the world. Xu Wen does not have a narrow view of family background.
Jinghong Island is big enough to accommodate talents from all over the world, and he has enough confidence in himself to allow many talents from all over the world to be used by him.
