The Linyu Sea Area has a radius of 3.5 million miles, and there are countless islands, large and small. The islands with spiritual veins on the islands account for about 23% of all islands.
This is already a very high probability.
First of all, the area of an island that can produce spiritual veins will never be less than thirty miles in radius, which directly excludes most of the small islands in Linyu Sea.
If an island of sufficient area has unique conditions to gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and there are no other first-order spiritual veins within a radius of two to three hundred miles, and there are no other second-order spiritual veins within a radius of two to three thousand miles, then There is a certain chance that spiritual veins will be born underground near the center of the island.
Of course, it's only possible.
A severe wind and rain, or there are monks fighting nearby, or some monsters and beasts are fighting, stirring up the general situation, destroying the air pockets where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth gathers, and the gestation of spiritual veins will be in vain.
The conditions for the birth of spiritual veins are so harsh, so the islands where spiritual veins exist have become the focus of competition between monks and monks, monks and demon cultivators, and demon cultivators and demon cultivators in Linyu Sea. Around the islands where spiritual veins exist, one battle after another takes place. While a bloody storm was blowing, the situation gradually stabilized.
Changming Island is located at the northernmost tip of Yunmiao Continent.
The area of the island is not small, with a radius of more than 3,800 miles. There are hundreds of millions of ordinary people living on the island. There are three relatively powerful forces on the island, as well as dozens of smaller forces of varying sizes.
The most important thing is that there is a third-level spiritual vein on Changming Island, which is the gathering place of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the nearby waters of tens of thousands of miles.
The soil and water support the people.
As a place where spiritual energy gathers for thousands of miles, Changming Island has outstanding people and talented people. Especially in recent years, alchemy monks who were born on the island have been born one after another. There are thirteen alchemy monks from the three major forces on the island. And there are as many as six people who were born on the island!
The strong strength has created prosperity and stability near Changming Island. When Gu Qing, standing on the deck of the spirit boat, saw a giant island shrouded in white mist from a distance, like a fairyland, he was really shocked beyond words. , the continuous houses, the dense crowds of ordinary people coming and going, and the continuous escaping lights in the dark sky, leaving a picture called the vast red dust and the dust and smoke in the clouds, revealed before his eyes.
"I didn't go to Chang Ming Island last time, so I missed such beautiful scenery."
Gu Qing looked sideways at Yuantian.
The golden rays of light streamed down thousands of miles, and among the clouds in the distant sky, a red sun seemed to jump out of the sea. In the blink of an eye, another day passed.
Gu Qing withdrew his gaze.
He looked around.
At this time, it was not uncommon to see people acting extremely exaggeratedly on the deck of the spirit boat. This reminded Gu Qing of when he was still a young man, and when he first returned to the county town, he was used to seeing dark clay houses. He was really open-minded. This vision and feeling were something he had never experienced again in the years since.
Thinking about it now, he actually missed it a little.
After half a breath, Gu Qing disappeared the memories in his eyes.
He turned around and looked at Qing Xiaofang who was walking towards him.
"Fellow Daoist Gu!"
Qing Xiaofang has become much calmer since the previous incident, at least that's what it seems on the surface. He stepped forward, clasped his fists and said to Gu Qing: "Fellow Taoist, since I am a casual cultivator in Longze Lake, I don't know what will happen in the future. What are your plans? To be honest, our Qing family is recruiting talented people. If your Taoist friend is willing to come to our Qing family as a guest, our Qing family is willing to offer three foundation-building second-level monks to you every month, and forge bones for cultivation. Dan, as well as ten high-grade spiritual stones, and a batch of basic spiritual materials."
Qing Xiaofang's words made Gu Qing's eyes move slightly.
The Qing family has given them quite a lot.
You must know that the Bone Forging Pills that can be taken by second-level Foundation Establishment monks are all valuable. Take the Qingxuan Bone Forging Pills that Gu Qing still has two left as an example. This kind of Qingxuan Bone Forging Pills, each The world in that cauldron requires more than ten high-grade spiritual stones, not to mention that the Qing family has other conditions.
And Gu Qing knew that if he wanted to mention this benefit again, Qing Xiao would definitely agree. After all, no one would directly come up and quote the lowest price.
But Gu Qing had no intention of accepting it.
Without any hesitation, he responded to Qing Xiaofang with a smile: "Friend Qing, there is no need to mention the matter of being a guest. Mr. Gu likes freedom and is used to being undisciplined. If he comes to Qing's house and becomes a guest, I'm afraid that he will be in trouble with Qing Dao." Friend caused some trouble, when the time comes, how will Gu handle himself when he meets Taoist Qing again?"
After being rejected by Gu Qing, Qing Xiao's expression did not change, and the smile on his face even deepened. He continued to exchange a few words with Gu Qing, and made sure to invite Gu Qing to visit Qing's house.
Gu Qing happily agreed to this.
After all, it's just a visit to Qing's house, nothing serious.
Maybe there are some benefits to be gained.
After Qing Xiaofang had a conversation with Gu Qing, he just nodded to Yu Lingkong who was beside Gu Qing, then turned and walked aside to look for the graceful female cultivator shrouded in white light. .
"Fellow Taoist Yu, Taoist Qing seems to have some discord with you?"
Gu Qing suddenly spoke to Yu Lingkong on the side.
Yu Lingkong sat on a pair of simple tables and chairs near the railing, drinking alone. He didn't know how much wine was in this guy's flask. Anyway, Gu Qing had never seen Yu Lingkong fill it up. It can be seen that Yu Lingkong has always been there during this period of time. He was drinking wine from a wine flask that was no bigger than a palm, and he hadn't finished it yet.
Yu Lingkong raised his head and swallowed a glass of wine, his face flushed.
He pointed towards the opposite side and said, "Sit down."
After Gu Qing sat down, Yu Lingkong poured the wine flask towards Gu Qing from a distance. A small mouthful of blue wine flowed out from the mouth of the wine flask like a living thing, and shot towards Gu Qing's direction with a swish.
Snapped!
Gu Qing stretched out his hand to block it.
The blue wine seemed to have condensed into ice crystals in his palm, and a slight cooling sensation spread to his skin. He looked at Yu Lingkong with some confusion, as if waiting for this guy to say something to him. What.
Yu Lingkong did not speak.
Instead, he put away the jug and wine glass, hugged his shoulders, and fell asleep.
The flowing messy black hair danced slightly on the head of the middle-aged three-level foundation builder. Half of the rosy face was hidden in the darkness, with a third part of comfort, and the other half reflected the rising sun, making it impossible to see. Seeing the expression on his face, Gu Qing's clear eyes moved and he swallowed the wine in his hand.
Gulu!
There is a bit of coolness in the mouth at first, rising from the tip of the tongue, and soon it shows nine points of burning heat, as if swallowing a mouthful of magma. After entering the throat, the mouthful of magma becomes more and more burning, until it passes through the spleen and stomach, enters the lower abdomen of the Dantian, and turns into cold water again. The feeling started from his lower abdomen and spread all over his body.
"Good wine."
Gu Qingxu narrowed his eyes and praised.
He only felt that the death energy hidden deep in his internal organs was being pulled out very quickly under the influence of this sip of wine. In just a few short breaths, the death energy hidden deep in his organs and bone marrow was removed. , the most stubborn little half has been removed, but the medicinal power of this drink has not yet been exhausted.
Gu Qing's eyes changed slightly as he looked at Yu Lingkong.
He said nothing.
But he also closed his eyes and refined the medicinal power of this drink.
The spirit boat and the thirty or so ships tufted with the spirit boat sailed into a rather huge dock. Most of the ships that came and docked here were more than ten feet long, and there were a few larger ships here and there.
Over the pier, there were already people waiting.
Groups of monks with varying levels of cultivation flew toward the ships before the ships docked, and each of them said words of solicitation with almost no repetition.
Soon, many monks and their families were taken away from the more than thirty ships tufting the spirit boat. When the spirit boat docked in front of the dock, more than thirty ships were tufted next to it. There were not many monks left on the spirit boat, but a large number of ordinary people were left behind.
These ordinary people all looked confused.
After taking a boat and traveling on the water for more than half a month, they finally arrived at Changming Island in the vast sea safely. However, at this time, no one cared about them, and they didn't know how to survive next.
Survival is a heavy thing.
"You wait as long as you want
Come to my Qing family to be a farm servant and just follow this person for a while. "After the spirit boat docked, the shield that shrouded the spirit boat also dissipated. Qing Xiaofang and the graceful female cultivator shrouded in white light walked away together. Before leaving, they pointed to the person who was still on the spirit boat. The late Qing family Qi refining monk who went there said this to the remaining mortals on the more than thirty ships of the Tufted Spirit Boat.
After the words fell, Qing Xiaofang did not show any reaction to the gratitude of the ordinary people below. He just glanced back at Gu Qing and Yu Lingkong, and then left with the female cultivator beside him.
As Qing Xiaofang and more than thirty people in the Qing family's late stage of Qi refining, each took a group of people on the spirit boat and left. In the blink of an eye, nine out of ten people on the spirit boat had left, and the remaining people left. Some left on their own, and in the end only a few people remained, still on the empty spirit boat.
So until night falls completely.
The sky is full of stars, the moon is slightly dark, and the sound of wind is coming and going in the ears. The black bulges under Gu Qing's skin have become a bit thicker, which makes his figure become a little bloated. An Meng, who is standing behind him, is still there. , carefully hiding the distressed feeling in his eyes, and stood quietly aside.
There was a slight sound of banging mouth.
Yu Lingkong, who was opposite Gu Qing, opened his eyes first.
Yu Lingkong glanced at Gu Qing, then turned to An Menghuan.
He threw away a purple tiger-shaped jade talisman.
"Give this communication talisman to your master."
As Yu Lingkong spoke, he disappeared from the spirit boat with a flicker of his body. An Meng quickly caught the purple light that went straight to his eyes, carefully put it away, and put his hands back in front of his lower abdomen, waiting.
"Are you late? Humph, clan elder, I said I won't drink, but you insist on asking me to drink. Now our chance of revitalizing the Gu family is gone! Look at these ships, it's hard to find a monk at the first level of Qi Refining. !」
A round-faced monk in his thirties puffed his beard and stared at the young and stunning-looking female monk next to him.
The stunning-looking female cultivator in her thirties yawned out of boredom. She rolled her eyes and said indifferently: "Young guest? I am your aunt, and the person with the highest cultivation level in our Gu family!" If you have training resources, why don’t you give them to me? Why do you want to invite guests?"
"Well, after three months, Auntie, you go to the master's house. It's best to come back with a quota. From now on, 80% of our family's cultivation resources will be given to you." The round-faced monk calmed down his anger and said expressionlessly.
"do not……"
As soon as the female cultivator said these two words, her eyes lit up.
She looked at the two figures standing one above the other on the deck of the spirit boat. She changed the topic and tugged on the round-faced monk's long beard hanging on his shoulders.
"Look, isn't there someone else there? The one standing has no cultivation, and the one sitting down has an aura as deep as the sea. It's terrifying! If this person is recruited into the family as a guest..." the female cultivator said.
"We can't afford to recruit this person."
The round-faced monk smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Look at the Qing family's spirit boat. Apart from these two people, there are no other monks on it. However, no one has come to chase these two people away. You can know that the one sitting among these two people is... At least a Qi Refining Dzogchen cultivator, or even a senior in the foundation-building realm! Although we are a branch of the Gu family, we are weak, so how can we possibly recruit such a person as a guest?"
As the round-faced monk spoke, he saw from a distance that the woman-like figure standing among the two figures on the deck of the spirit boat moved.
Immediately, he saw the sitting figure and turned slightly.
Immediately afterwards, a feeling of being seen from the inside out appeared on the round-faced monk and the stunning female cultivator.
A figure in black robe suddenly appeared through the sky and came to the pier, holding a stunningly beautiful woman in his arms. He looked at the round-faced monk and the stunning female cultivator with calm eyes.
"One is at the seventh level of Qi refining, and the other is at the tenth level of Qi refining."
Gu Qing's eyes moved from the round-faced monk to the female cultivator. He already had an insight into the cultivation of these two people. He let go of the hand holding An Menghuan and glanced around a few times. He noticed that under the dark sky , there are still a lot of monks nearby, coming and going even
It was busy, and many people's eyes fell on him and An Menghuan.
"Senior, I don't know..." The round-faced monk smiled naturally, stretched out his hand to stop the stunning female cultivator behind him, and asked with cupped fists.
The round-faced monk was very afraid of this advanced monk who suddenly appeared in front of him and had dense black bumps under his skin.
If it weren't for his aunt, he would have thought of running away. The appearance of the person in front of him was so shocking that he naturally guessed that this person was an evil cultivator who practiced some special magic technique.
Evil cultivators are not uncommon on Changming Island.
But as we all know, encountering evil cultivators with unpredictable cultivation at night in a remote place like the dock is definitely not something that should be taken lightly.
Gu Qing retracted his gaze and glanced around.
He looked at the round-faced monk and showed what he thought was a kind smile. The black protrusions on his face squeezed him, making him even more ferocious: "I don't know what to call this fellow Taoist? I'm Gu Qing. I'm here for the first time. I want to find a guide. Get to know the local customs and customs of Guidao and find a place to stay."
Gu Qing?
Also named Gu?
After hearing Gu Qing's words, the round-faced monk looked sideways at the female cultivator he was guarding behind him and started communicating through sound transmission.
Gu Qing sensed the fluctuation of soul in front of him and did not disturb him.
"Master, this little slave is short-sighted and can't do such a small thing as finding a place to stay." At this time, An Meng, who was behind Gu Qing, spoke in a low voice.
"No problem."
Gu Qing responded calmly.
After drinking the wine given by Yu Lingkong, most of his physical injuries have recovered, and his soul's injuries have also improved a lot. The strength he can exert has reached 50% to 60%. When the black protrusions on the watch are discharged, 70 to 80% of the strength can be exerted.
In addition, he once again accepted the inheritance of the ancient demon, and he was able to exert 70% to 80% of his strength, which was already comparable to his heyday when he was not injured.
After all, the strength of the two magical powers, Gui Xu Yi Finger and Yin Ming Grand Hand Seal, is directly linked to the strength of the physical body. He has once again accepted the inheritance of the ancient demon, and his physical body is strong. If he uses these two magical powers, he can exert great power. , I am afraid it will be several hundred percent or even doubled compared to the previous one!
Therefore, Gu Qing was in a very good mood at this time.
the other side.
The chubby monk had already communicated with his aunt.
"Senior, I am the current head of the Gu family in Huanhua Lane, near Changming Island, Gu Cheng. This is my mother's younger sister and my aunt, Gu Tingyue." The chubby monk said to Gu Qing. , "My aunt, I would like to serve as my senior's guide to visit Changming Island."
As he said that, the chubby monk stepped aside.
The stunning female cultivator bowed to Gu Qing and saluted.
She said softly: "Little girl Gu Tingyue, I have met my senior."
"This pier is one of the sixteen small piers on Chang Ming Island. Most of the incoming and outgoing ships are land vessels. Because the pier looks like the mouth of an open hand, it is called the Tiger's Mouth Pier..."
"Hukou Pier is the closest to the two places where monks live, Lanlingfang City and Chihufang City on Changming Island. Of course, there are still many places where ordinary people live nearby, as well as caves opened by low-level monks. This Because some areas belong to the periphery of Changming Island and are close to the dock, there is no formation protection that is always open. There is also no need to pay spirit stones to enter and exit this area, so there is a bit of a mixed bag."
Gu Tingyue pointed towards Fangshi, which was visible in the distance.
"That's Chihufang City. Senior, if you want to settle down, Chihufang City is an excellent place to go. There are many fox girls there who make a living by servicing male cultivators."
Gu Tingyue said to Gu Qing in a narrow voice.
Gu Qing glanced at the female cultivator strangely.
"Don't say these are useless."
He said to Gu Tingyue.
"If you want to buy magic talismans, where will you go? Where is the flow of monks the most?" Gu Qing looked at the Red Fox City in front of him with his hands behind his hands, secretly guessing why the city got its name, and asked at the same time
.
He didn't quite believe that this large-scale Red Fox City was named Red Fox City because of the existence of many half-demon fox girls.
"Senior, when it comes to purchasing spiritual talismans, monks like us who come from monk families will mostly go to the three markets of Silver Moon, Tanlang, and Tianxing. These three markets are the more prosperous markets on Changming Island, but they are It’s not the most prosperous market, the prices of spiritual talismans and other items are not too high, and the categories are comprehensive.”
"For casual cultivators, most of them choose to go to various markets near the pier on Changming Island, where they can enter without paying for spiritual stones. They go back and forth to buy spiritual talismans and other items... Spiritual talismans are the things that monks of our generation keep close to us. , to protect your family and life at the critical moment, you really have to be cautious.”
Gu Tingyue said to Gu Qing.
"So, fellow Taoist Tingyue agrees with the practice of casual cultivators?" Gu Qing glanced at Gu Tingyue, who had a somewhat troubled expression, with a half-smile.
He did not wait for Gu Tingyue's response and continued: "In that case, I will rush to the Yinyuefang City you mentioned tonight and lead the way quickly."
Gu Qing said so.
"Lead the way quickly? Do you think I'm a servant..."
Gu Tingyue cursed crazily in her heart.
But at this moment, a shiny middle-grade spiritual stone was thrown over by Gu Qing. Gu Tingyue caught it and immediately smiled.
"Senior, please come quickly." Gu Tingyue said respectfully.
Yinyuefang City is in the middle of Changming Island.
It was more than 800 miles away from the dock where Gu Qing landed.
With Gu Tingyue's speed, it would probably take more than two hours to reach Yinyuefang City. Gu Qing was naturally unwilling to accommodate this.
After paying for the two mid-grade spiritual stones required to enter the island protection array that is open at all times on Changming Island, and purchasing a temporary identity plate, Gu Qing directly condensed his spiritual power into his hands and grabbed a chicken. Holding Gu Tingyue and holding An Menghuan in one hand, he flew away like a shooting star towards the direction of Yinyuefang City mentioned in Gu Tingyue's mouth.
Gu Tingyue was wrapped up arrogantly by the powerful hand of spiritual power. The spiritual power around her body was stagnant, and her body could not move. Naturally, she was extremely shocked in her heart.
She was shocked that Gu Qing, who had the same surname as her, was actually a Foundation Establishment monk, and not as simple as the first level of Foundation Establishment. Such a strong person had actually been with her for so long!
The last time Gu Tingyue spent so much time with the Foundation Establishment monks was when she was eleven or twelve years old. She went to her master's house and met her Foundation Establishment uncle. She was washed by his uncle's marrow and bones, and the strength of her roots and bones was improved. hour.
Gu Qingfei escaped for half a quarter of an hour, and Yinyuefang City had arrived.
Below, there is a lake reflecting the moonlight, which is half-moon shaped and reflects the silvery moonlight. A long-shaped city covering an area of more than two hundred miles is located on the side of the half-moon lake. The city is bustling with people.
Gu Qing pressed down the escape light and dispersed his spiritual power.
"Senior, if you want to find a place to stay, in this Yinyuefang City, there are hundreds of caves opened by the three major forces on the island. They are equipped with spiritual springs, spiritual fields, and earthly fire. With the cultivation level of the senior foundation-building period, you can get The next one should not be difficult." After Gu Tingyue learned that Gu Qing was a Foundation Establishment monk, and not a first-level Foundation Establishment monk, her attitude towards Gu Qing became much more respectful.
As she spoke, she took Gu Qing and An Menghuan to Yinyuefang City. Gu Qing looked around, sizing up Yinyuefang City.
The market here does not charge a fee to enter the market, and it is more like a place where monks live. Although there are many people setting up stalls on both sides of the road, the shops are very sparse. Instead, there are many deep caves.
"If you don't want to spend too many spiritual stones, you can find a more remote cave, rent it, or buy it. The disadvantage is that it is easily disturbed by others and you need to set up your own formations. In addition, there are no three major forces. The opened cave is so convenient." Gu Tingyue kept talking to Gu Qing.
She pointed forward: "Senior said before that the place where we, the monk family, often purchase spiritual talismans is not far ahead."
"Hey, isn't this the leader of the Gu family?"
