After January.
The snow on Changming Island has disappeared, and the spring scenery has begun.
The remaining traces of this severe cold that swept across for several months have completely faded away, and many islands in Linyu Sea have returned to their former glory.
The full moon rises, the sky seems to be washed, and the sky is blue.
A fiery glow appeared on the horizon, and the crimson light swept over the sea, turning the waves rolling on the sea into a golden red. A waning sun fell to the west, disappearing into the sea and sky in the distance.
A fleet of more than a dozen huge ships was slowly approaching from a distance, and the decks of each ship were filled with monks.
As the fleet arrived, several rays of escaping light immediately rose up on Changming Island, heading towards the fleet. When they reached the front of the fleet, these rays of escaping light stood in the sky, revealing their figures.
"It turns out to be the fleet of the Merchant Alliance! I wonder which fellow Taoists are in charge?" The leaders of these light-escapers are at the seventh level of Foundation Establishment, and their two red eyebrows are extremely long, fluttering with the sea breeze.
This person is the owner of Changming Island, Zhenren Xu Wang, one of the three gatekeepers of the house, known as the "Red Eyebrow Sanren". His spiritual power has already reached the seventh level of foundation building, and he is good at using all kinds of fire techniques. Fa, it is said, was a casual cultivator who traveled from the mainland and settled on Changming Island.
Among the fleet, several monks also flew up.
The first person was an old man with a wrinkled face.
When the old man in the valley saw the red eyebrow Sanren, he chuckled and clasped his fists: "Haha! It turns out to be Fellow Taoist Red Eyebrow, Pei Yuanshan is polite here."
"Fellow Daoist Pei! Nice to meet you." The red-browed Sanren raised his eyebrows.
Several people behind the old man Gu Qing also reported their families one after another. Some of them were from small sects and some were from casual cultivators. The gray-haired old woman who stopped Gu Qing before was a casual cultivator.
As for the other person who stopped Gu Qing before, the young-looking monk came from a declining family of monks.
The red-browed Sanren just said hello to Pei Yuanshan, the old man in the ditch. As for the gray-haired old woman who was also sitting in the fleet and other early and mid-stage foundation-building monks who were following behind Pei Yuanshan, the red-browed Sanren just nodded and ignored him. Instead, he talked with Pei Yuanshan communicated via voice transmission.
The gray-haired old woman and other monks were somewhat dissatisfied at being so despised, but none of them showed it. They just lowered their hands and stood behind Pei Yuanshan.
After the Red Eyebrow Sanren communicated with Pei Yuanshan for a while, Pei Yuanshan took out a storage bag and handed it to the Red Eyebrow Sanren.
"The people on the deputy leader's side have already told me that the things your island master needs are in this storage bag... In addition, this storage bag also contains two thousand yuan of high-grade spirits that Pei gave to Fellow Taoist Chimei. Stone." Pei Yuanshan looked at the red-browed man in front of him with some deep meaning in his eyes.
"What Fellow Daoist Pei said, Chimei will do his best." Chimei Sanren took the storage bag, looked into it with his consciousness, nodded imperceptibly, and glanced at Pei Yuanshan expressionlessly.
Afterwards, Chimei and a few others turned around and flew towards Changming Island.
The fleet that had stopped due to the obstruction of the Red Eyebrow San people was able to sail again after the Red Eyebrow San people left and Pei Yuanshan and others turned around and landed on the ships they were on. Not long after, we docked at the south pier of Changming Island - the south pier is called 'Sanhai Ferry'. It is the largest pier among all the piers on Changming Island with a radius of several thousand miles.
As soon as the fleet docked, a large number of monks gathered on Changming Island. On one of the ships in the fleet, a large number of monks poured out towards Changming Island. Some of the monks flew directly away from the ship and headed towards Flying away in the direction of Yunmiao Continent.
Gu Qing, who was wearing black clothes and short hair, stepped up from below the deck.
Even among the dense crowds of people coming and going, there is still a blank space of several feet around Gu Qing - within a month, Gu Qing's previous brutal behavior has spread among the monks on the ship, and now The monks on the ship were afraid to avoid him.
People are afraid of death.
Who really wants to die if they can live?
These monks were afraid that they would follow the same path as the monks from the Flesh Demon Sect, so they naturally avoided Gu Qing as far as they could.
The Flesh Demon Sect is a sect from which a few huge Qi-refining monks and the beautiful cultivator called 'Uncle Master' are born.
It is rumored that this sect is a leftover branch of the Blood Sea Demon Sect that once flourished on land. However, the monks in the Linyu Sea area generally believe that this is the Flesh Demon Sect trying to put money in their own faces.
If it was really the once-famous branch of the Blood Sea Demon Sect, how could the Flesh Demon Sect be in such miserable condition and could only huddle in this corner of the Linyu Sea? Who doesn’t know that the vast sea is vast, and that the 3.5 million-mile radius of the Linyu Sea is nothing more than a remote area?
However, the techniques of the Flesh Demon Sect are indeed mysterious.
The Qi Refining Period exercises inherited by the Flesh Demon Sect, in addition to cultivating the Dantian Qi Sea, can also cultivate every inch of flesh and blood around the body, making it full of spiritual power. In this way, I wonder if it can enhance the monk's combat power during the Qi Refining Period. , it also allows the monks to use the spiritual power of their flesh and blood when breaking through the foundation, thus increasing the possibility of breaking through the foundation.
This is also the reason why the monks of the Flesh Demon Sect generally have huge bodies during the Qi Refining Stage, but then become normal in size during the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Gu Qing was unaware of the glances from all around him, and just got off the boat and arrived at the dock.
Standing on the wide Sihai Pier, Gu Qing looked back and was immediately frightened by the many eyes that were looking at him.
'Do you want to return to the ship after half a day and continue to follow the ship to other sea areas? Gu Qing raised his head slightly and looked at the fleet behind him. A long strip was opened between the two ships that were farthest apart. A few lines of words were projected in the air, and he thought secretly.
Let’s look at what these few lines of words say.
This fleet will leave Linyu Sea Area in January and enter a sea area called 'Yuelun Sea' adjacent to Linyu Sea Area.
'The Moon Wheel Sea... The practice of monster beasts often swallows moonlight to refine the inner elixir. The inner elixir bathes in the moonlight and turns around. Isn't it called a moon wheel? From this point of view, there should be a larger number of demon cultivators in this Moon Wheel Sea. '
Gu Qing withdrew his gaze and walked towards Changming Island.
'Sanhai Ferry Maritime Affairs Department? This pier was originally called Sanhai Ferry. After walking for a while, Gu Qing looked sideways at the palace. He remembered the day he returned to Changming Island. At that time, he landed at the Hukou Pier opposite the Yunmiao Continent on Changming Island, and also at the Hukou Pier. Before the Maritime Affairs Department, I had a few exchanges with the monk in charge there.
'In addition to selling part of the proceeds from the Zichen Secret Realm during this trip, I also wanted to find Lin Tingxue, Zhou Lian and others, as well as Guo Xuanting. The essence of the secret technique of Yanzhen Pupil still needs to be cultivated. After a while...' Gu Qing walked quickly across Changming Island.
Changming Island is much larger than Qingshu Island.
Gu Qing walked for more than an hour, and the boots on his feet were almost worn out and smoking. After only walking a hundred or two hundred miles, he came to a small Cultivation Center City - this small Cultivation Center City, It is Chihufang City, which is adjacent to Lanlingfang City. Thanks to its close proximity to the sea, there is a large flow of monks coming in and out.
'Right now, even if you use the flying magic weapon, you can't control it. '
'Earlier, I was a little careless and sold all the flying talismans as sundries. Gu Qing frowned slightly, sighed secretly, blended into the crowd, and walked together into the interior of Chihufang City.
Chihufang City covers an area of about 20 to 30 miles. There are only a few shops. On both sides of the intricate roads, one stall is next to another. These stalls are quite simple, and the monks who set up the stalls are very big. Some of them are in the qi refining period, and most of the things sold at these qi refining monk stalls are deceiving people.
The shouts that sounded like ordinary hawkers gathered together, making Gu Qing feel a little distracted.
How many years has it been since he saw something like this?
He still remembered that the last time he saw this kind of situation, it seemed that he was in Chihufang in Ye Country, but Chihufang, which was only one word different from the Chihufang City in front of him, had never had so many monks crammed into it.
Gu Qing walked slowly and looked at every stall.
He was a little overwhelmed by the variety of weird things.
The milky white object exuding aura looks very extraordinary, but isn't it just an ordinary object soaked in the spiritual spring water? It can be sold for the price of an ordinary low-grade magic weapon, and there are still people buying it!
According to the stall owner, that black thing that looks like a dung ball can explode if thrown out and hit on the ground, emitting a stench that can make the opponent faint on the spot... What is the use of this thing? Is it possible that the monks on both sides of the life-and-death struggle couldn't even hold their breath and concentrate? You know, even monks in the early stage of Qi refining can hold their breath for a long time as long as their spiritual power is not exhausted!
Isn't it that those things in cylinders that can explode and emit powerful power are the gunpowder used to make fireworks in the mainland? A water-based spell on this thing will destroy most of it on the spot. Even if it can be detonated, the amount of gunpowder is small and the power is only average. The amount of flames is large. If the opponent throws a fire-based spell at you, I am afraid that you will be killed first. Blast to death.
There is also the black box made of photo stones, engraved with simple patterns, which can record 'images' at any time. This thing actually sold for the price of a middle-grade magic weapon! But no matter how real the picture of the shadow stone is, to the monks who have spiritual consciousness after the middle stage of Qi refining, it is just a shadow puppet show that can't be more fake!
After wandering around for a while, Gu Qing paused.
He finally found the flying charm he needed.
Gu Qing squeezed into the crowd on one side and squatted down in front of the surrounded stall - this was a stall selling various talismans. The grades of various talismans spanned from the lower level of the first grade to the first grade. Among the upper levels, a first-grade mid-level cloak talisman satisfied Gu Qing the most.
Gu Qing has seen talismans like the cloak talisman before, but he has never mastered the method of seal painting. He only knows that it is a talisman that when activated, can attract strong winds to wrap around one's body and fly quickly.
It's just that after this talisman is activated, it is necessary to perform defensive spells or activate spiritual power to protect the body against the strong wind blowing in the face when walking fast, so this kind of talisman is not popular, at least, this kind of talisman is not popular. This kind of talisman is far less popular than those flying talismans that can form a barrier around the body to protect oneself after being activated.
"How many spiritual stones are in this pile of cloak talismans?" Gu Qing pointed at the pile of light blue cloak talismans, looked at the stall owner, and asked.
The stall owner selling various talismans is a young man, dressed in white clothes like snow, with a fair and handsome face and a calm expression. Although there are no less than ten monks surrounding the stall, he can handle them all calmly.
Hearing Gu Qing's words, the stall smiled slightly and responded: "This is a pile of ten cloak talismans, which is one hundred and twenty low-grade spiritual stones."
"One hundred and twenty low-grade spiritual stones..." Gu Qing nodded and took out four medium-grade spiritual stones. "Can I buy four piles of four medium-grade spiritual stones?"
The young man in white moved slightly and took a deep look at Gu Qing.
He had not paid much attention to this first-level qi-refining cultivator with short hair and black clothes before, but now that he paid attention, he was slightly shocked.
'This person's strength should be far superior to mine! The young man in white quietly counted with his fingers, but the expression on his face did not change at all.
"Can."
The young man in white only responded briefly.
Gu Qing handed four mid-grade spiritual stones to the young man in white, then took the four piles of cloak talismans handed over by the young man in white and turned to leave.
But the moment Gu Qing turned sideways, a fat monk with a round figure not far away caught his attention.
This person turned out to be the monk surnamed Yu who had been following Li Hengyang on his behalf! When he left Changming Island a few months ago, he met this monk named Yu by chance. Although he cried bitterly, he did not kill him, but asked him to find Lin Tingxue and others for him. whereabouts!
But after returning to Yinyuefang City, Gu Qing searched several times in Yinyuefang City, but could not find this monk named Yu.
'This person probably doesn't want to escape. If he wants to escape, why should he stay on Changming Island? In this case, there should be some special reasons for him to stay on Changming Island. Gu Qing noticed the monk surnamed Yu from the corner of his eye, turned around and blended into the surrounding crowd, silently following behind him.
Yu Zhengyang's heart moved.
A little strange feeling came to his mind.
'Are you being followed...'
'Are those people worried about me coming out alone? '
'Haha... I am a young monk at the ninth level of Qi refining, what can I do? '
Yu Zhengyang quickly glanced around, but didn't notice anything, so he lowered his head and continued walking through the crowd, stopping from time to time at stalls selling elixirs.
'Uncle Master and the others actually chose to cooperate with those people and become enemies of the master of Changming Island, Xuwang Zhenren. If they fail this time, I'm afraid the Five Elements Sect will also be finished. I should have made plans earlier...'
'But even if you break through to the tenth level of Qi Refining, you will definitely not be able to save your life when the incident occurs! How on earth can one survive...'
Yu Zhengyang frowned.
"Hey! If you don't want to buy, go away." Behind the stall, the stall owner looked at Yu Zhengyang squatting in front of the stall and said unkindly.
Yu Zhengyang's eyes showed displeasure when he heard this, but he suppressed his displeasure, smiled apologetically, stood up and continued to walk through the crowd.
In this way, Yu Zhengyang wandered around for nearly an hour before leaving Chihufang City. He sighed for a while outside Chihufang City, found an open space, took out his flying sword, and tried to escape with it.
Snapped!
A small pebble flew from afar at a very fast speed and hit the flying sword that Yu Zhengyang had just launched. The pebble immediately shattered into powder. The flying sword was also hit by the huge force carried by the pebble and flew out in a circle. Yu Zhengyang's expression changed, and he turned around and looked behind him.
"Who are you? Why are you here to cause trouble for Yu? Yu is an inner disciple of the Five Elements Sect, and our Five Elements Sect is not a fool!"
Yu Zhengyang stared at the short-haired man in black robe under the mottled shadows of the woods in the distance, feeling that this man had a level of Qi refining skills. For some reason, Yu Zhengyang felt a strong sense of uneasiness in his heart.
The stone just now did not contain any spiritual power.
But it was able to defeat him, a ninth-level Qi refining monk, with the flying sword, and even almost dispersed the spiritual power on the flying sword!
This man in black clothes and short hair seems to be only at the first level of Qi Refining. Could it be that he is a physical practitioner? There are rumors of physical training in the sect. This kind of monks are known for their physical strength. During the Qi refining period, they can break rocks with their fists, tear tigers and leopards alive, and fight with them. It is best to keep a distance and use spells. The magic will grind it to death, and even the magic weapon must be suppressed until the critical moment before it can be sacrificed.
Think about this.
Yu Zhengyang's figure swayed and he quickly retreated.
Uh-huh! Swish!
Three stones hit Yu Zhengyang through the air at a tricky angle. Yu Zhengyang almost didn't react. At the critical moment, an earth-colored light flashed in his hand, and he pressed forward fiercely, creating a huge earth-yellow barrier. Instantly solidifying, the surrounding earth and rocks were quickly absorbed and integrated into the earth-yellow barrier.
puff!
Three stones carrying huge force hit the earth-yellow barrier and exploded simultaneously. The force immediately shattered the earth-yellow barrier. Yu Zhengyang behind him looked a little horrified.
Three stones without spiritual power could actually shatter his defensive technique! You know, even the senior brother in the sect who is in the Great Perfection Realm of Qi Refining cannot easily break his earthly defense technique! Is there something wrong with the magic he cast, or is he currently dreaming and everything he sees is a dream?
boom!
The earth-yellow barrier collapsed, stirring up a huge cloud of smoke.
Yu Zhengyang took advantage of the situation and summoned the flying sword he had sacrificed before, and was about to use the sword to leave. But at this moment, a black shadow flashed in front of his eyes, and a young man with short hair and black robe fell from the sky and landed in front of him.
Gu Qing looked at Yu Zhengyang in front of him and slapped him, dispelling the spell that Yu Zhengyang was performing in panic on the spot, then grabbed his thick neck and thrust his body to the ground.
Bang!
Yu Zhengyang's bloated figure hit the earth and rocks like a rag, causing a large number of cracks to spread between the earth and rocks on the ground.
His head sank deeply into the pit, and a large amount of bright red blood gushes out from the crack in his skull. His eyes were holding back tears of blood, and he opened his mouth wide, trying to say something. All his limbs struggled feebly, but It was impossible to shake the unwavering hand on his neck.
A large amount of spiritual power surged out from Yu Zhengyang's body, and Yu Zhengyang condensed a series of spells to hit Gu Qing. The flying sword that Yu Zhengyang had previously launched also drew a cold light in mid-air and slashed towards the back of Gu Qing's neck, but Gu Qing just With a casual grab, he held the flying sword upside down in his hand, and then with a seemingly light sweep, he exploded the spells that Yu Zhengyang had condensed.
Immediately, Gu Qing tapped his finger on Yu Zhengyang's Dantian Qi Sea. Yu Zhengyang felt only a little golden light penetrate into his body, and then his spiritual power seemed to be suppressed by an extremely powerful force, and he could no longer use it!
Gu Qing withdrew the palm that was holding Yu Zhengyang's neck.
"Thank you, senior, for not killing me." Yu Zhengyang seemed to suddenly think of something, and climbed up from the ground. His big blood-stained face smiled like a chrysanthemum, as if he had just been continuously using spells to attack Gu Qing. , he was not the one who slashed at Gu Qing's neck with his flying sword.
"Fellow Daoist Yu, long time no see."
Gu Qing's face was expressionless, and he looked at Yu Zhengyang calmly, until Yu Zhengyang looked a little hairy. His face surged like water waves, changed slightly, and returned to his original appearance.
Yu Zhengyang's scalp suddenly felt numb.
He recognized Gu Qing at a glance.
Thinking of the old grudge with Gu Qing, Yu Zhengyang's eyes darkened.
His mind suddenly changed, and he knelt on the ground, bursting into tears, and cried out in sobs: "It turns out that it was the senior who was blind in front of him, and Zhengyang was so blind that he offended the senior. I am really scared! What the senior entrusted me back then, Zhengyang spared no effort to do it." We found traces of several of them..."
"only……"
"Senior! Please let Zhengyang make the decision!"
