Facilities on land are crumbling, and the situation at sea is even worse. The Hai people live in the sea for a long time, and most of the buildings are submerged in the water, especially the place where the Buddhist scriptures and treasures are stored, which is built hundreds of feet under the sea and attached to the rocks of the island.
No matter how good Xue Tong is in diving, he can't compare to Jiao Shi with long gills.
"Check quickly, pack up and leave." Xue Tong said and asked Shi to leave. He didn't worry about Jiao Shi escaping, he just left. The loss was not big and there was no need to worry about it.
On the way, Xue Tong had displayed all the Neihai Clan's books on the bracelets of King Shark and King Zhou, allowing Jiao Shi to choose, which was a great kindness to him.
Jiao Shi happily chose several spells and exercises. Knowing that the Shark King was also destroyed by Xue Tong, he was even more shocked by the power of the new master.
"King Luo, don't go to the bottom of the water. Jiao Shi has a sixth-grade Qi elixir." Jiao Shi asked, using the usual name of the Hai clan, handing over a few green elixirs.
"I'm just waiting here. Give me the prescription within one hour." Xue Tong said as he took the pills as he would take unknown pills casually.
"The Origin Pill in the "Kui Long King Alchemy Sutra" is often sent by Bucheng to deal with the human race. The Origin Pill is always available." Jiao Shi said.
"Okay." Xue Tong sat down on the stone chair and read through the alchemy scriptures left by Bu Cheng. Jiao Shi seemed to be hesitant to speak.
"Tell me, what's the matter?" Xue Tong asked.
"The islands under the sea are so vast that one hour is not enough."
"How long will it take"
"Half a day" Xue Tong nodded and waved his hand to hurry up. Jiao Shi jumped up and flew down into the blue-black demonic sea.
...The scene at five o'clock. Jiao Shi came ashore, looking tired.
"What's the situation?" Xue Tong asked.
"Bu Cheng and the deputy island master were destroyed, and the whereabouts of the third child are unknown. He must have received news of Ji Yin's accident. Before leaving, he completely ransacked the Jubaobao Sutra Palace. The cultivators of our sect have indeed dispersed."
"Where is your sect ranked?" Xue Tong asked.
"sixth"
"You have been in the Demon Sea for many years. Apart from the Evil Island, you know that there are remote and dangerous places where no one wants to go."
"Let Jiao Shi think about it..." Jiao Shi said several times, but was rejected by Xue Tong.
"The more hidden the better, it's best if the resources are poor and no one visits it." Xue Tong reminded. Jiao Shi thought hard for a long time,
"Seven thousand miles away in the deep sea, there is an undersea mountain col where poisonous gas accumulates. In the early years, I tracked sea beasts and passed by. At that time, I was still thinking that the Demon Sea is really full of wonders, and there are places as bad as this!"
"There are dozens of miles of mountain cols and soft soil at the bottom, similar to swamps on land. The evil gases and poisonous gases in the ground bubble and bubble from time to time. They have accumulated for hundreds of millions of years. The thick gas layer is more than a hundred feet deep." The seabed is closer to the center of the earth, and the quality of the evil gases and poisonous gases is far from good. Comparable to ordinary swamps.
"Oh, will the monster be dormant here?"
"Jiao Shi has never seen him, and has never heard of him."
"Evil gas and poisonous gas can be refined into useful materials. Is there no one to harvest it?" Xue Tong asked.
"The quality of the poisonous evil energy there is not outstanding. No one wants to collect the energy and refine it. The juniors soon stopped taking it seriously. After the seniors repeatedly reminded me, I reluctantly remembered it." Jiao Shi said.
Pictures flashed across the sea of consciousness of Xue Tong, and he muttered: "Take me to Poison Ao!" While waiting, Xue Tong had identified that the elixir given by Jiao Shi actually contained
"Lingsweed",
"Qiluo Xiankui" and other non-toxic ingredients, it is expected that the elixir cannot be highly toxic. Xue Tong tried small pieces to make sure they were all right.
"A Primordial Pill, if you wait quietly at the bottom of the water, it can last for ten days. With the help of spiritual stones, it can stay dormant for half a month without any problems." Xue Tong secretly said.
"Go by boat?" Jiao Shi asked.
"Just cut through the big ship and let it sink on the main island." Xue Tong didn't want to let such a big guy reveal his whereabouts.
He took out a copy of the Sea Clan Kung Fu and said, "I will first practice the Sea Clan's skin-assisted breathing method at the bottom of the water." Xue Tongjiao Shi arrived at the outskirts of the Poison Gas Mountain Col as the eagle flew in the boat.
... Immortal cultivators can leave their souls outside the body and practice the art of skin infiltration, which is not a difficult task. Xue Tong took the Origin Pill in his mouth and held the best spiritual stone in his hand. He sat quietly on the seabed and practiced the exercises. He couldn't bear it any longer, so he raised his head to inhale.
More than ten months later. Xue Tong's breathing technique can basically provide sufficient air supply.
"I am going to sink to the bottom of the col, take a look at the poisonous gas spring, and condense the evil spirits to refine my body!" Xue Tong greeted Jiao Shi and said.
"What about the junior?"
"Stay here and just practice. These Hai Clan elixirs are enough for you to practice hard for five years." Xue Tong presented a large bag of elixirs.
The poison gas mountain col that Jiao Shi learned about was far more valuable than dozens of boxes of Hai Clan pills.
"If the poison gas leaks out, if you move again, don't mention me to outsiders." Xue Tong warned sternly.
A light stone lamp was hung on the stone wall above his head, and the dim light illuminated his cold and stern face. Jiao Shi trembled slightly and continued to obey.
Poison gas mountain col. Xue Tong found the seabed where there was the most bubbling. The clouds in the sky are shining brightly, shooting stars and splitting the clouds, penetrating the ground for hundreds of feet.
He struck dozens of times in a row, opening up a deep hole as big as the mouth of the well, at least 500 feet.
"Hoo~" Evil gas and poisonous gas gush out. Xue Tong silently recited the formula and absorbed the evil poison to condense it into Gang. The peak bone puppet is not far away from it, and it is doing the same poison-absorbing exercises.
Whenever he needs to take a short rest, Xue Tong will cover the mouth of the spring with the Five Dragon Shield, float up and breathe in... His Great Wilderness Ape bloodline is super resistant to poison and evil, plus the assistance of the Nightmare Bone True Demon Divine Skill, day and night, Turn to exercise and strengthen your body.
Fast forward five years, and the body refining has grown slightly. Xue Tong estimated that if he met Ricky Xiu again, he would not be defeated. He sealed the poisonous gas spring and called out Jiao Shi.
"Let's go, take a break from practicing and go shopping outside." Xue Tong did not want to reveal too much information. To this day, Fang talked about Zhenwu Palace and asked, "Have you ever heard of Zhenwu Palace?"
"The legend of Zhenwu Palace is that it is a powerful human sect in the south of Cangmo Sea. Its rival is called Duxian Sect. It is tens of thousands of miles away. This junior has no contact with them." Jiao Shi replied.
"Where is the sphere of influence of Duxian Sect?" Xue Tong asked.
"Jingfu Island"
"Then let's go to Jingfu and have a look!" Xue Tong's first choice was Xue Tong's first choice for the island where Duxian Sect belongs. Nothing is absolute. If the rickety cultivator wants to arrange some eyes and ears in Jingfu, it is impossible to guard against it, so just let it go.
"At worst, we have to fight again!" With his small accomplishments in body training, Xue Tong was not sure of winning, but he was not worried about losing either.
...Xue Tong's vulture, Jiao Shi's owl and flying boat. It took half a month to reach Jingfu. The moment Xue Tong landed on the island, he finally had a deeper understanding of Zhenwu Palace's intention to go south and seek to unify the Hubo Sea.
Jingfu Island stretches as far as the eye can see. Duxianmen is located on a mysterious island off the coast of Jingfu, but Jingfu's prosperity is its greatest reliance. The flow of people and logistics brings an endless supply of running water.
Xue Tong told him that he would not do business in Jingfu, nor would he accept any disciples. He could just buy a garden to practice Falun Gong. Jiao Shi came forward and bought a sea garden, which was close to the mountains and the sea and was worth a lot of money.
Xue Tong's financial strength made Jiao Shi feel that he even surpassed Bu Cheng's sect.
"You can buy these elixirs as soon as you see them. Thirty or fifty sets are no problem. You can go to the spiritual object shop to consign the magical artifacts." Several magical artifacts.
"Be careful, shop around, buy and sell in batches, don't rush, don't mention me to others, but if you are threatened by a strong enemy, just admit it openly." Xue Tong said again.
He revealed the conflict with Ji Xiu. The matter was so big that it was inappropriate to keep Jiao Shi completely in the dark. Xue Tong plans to let Jingfu refine his Qi for two years and then go to the poisonous gas pool on the seabed to refine his body. During this period, Jiao Shi will collect the elixir on his behalf.
Jiao Shi is the kind of person who becomes more loyal the more he trusts him, not to mention that the resources Xue Tong gave him for his own use were more than five times more than Bu Cheng.
Jiao Shi was able to do things well, and with Xue Tong's guidance and reminders, the shopping and selling went smoothly, and he collected two sets of elixirs in a few days.
Then he took a three-month break and went out again. Jingfu was not suitable for alchemy, and Xue Tong took ordinary elixirs and practiced the exercises every day behind closed doors.
...Autumn passes and winter comes, and the end of the year is approaching.
"Boom~boom~" The fireworks in the night sky of Jingcheng were gorgeous.
"Oh, there seems to be a large-scale event. Go out and ask." Xue Tong told Jiao Shi. In the middle of the night, Jiao Shi brought back a message.
"The fireworks for the Crystal City celebration will be held in the Duxian Sect draft in three days. Anyone who wishes to join the sect can sign up, regardless of martial level."
"Duxian disciples, stewards and even elders all join the sect through this route. Jingcheng is the largest city in Jingfu, and the number of people who join the sect is also the largest."
"The new master of Duxian Sect is open and friendly, and welcomes good people. The sect's strength is gradually growing, and it has surpassed Zhenwu Palace." Jiao Shi said.
"Well, it's very lively, you should join in." Xue Tong said.
"There are too many people with too many eyes, too many right and wrongs. Jiao Shi has no shortage of resources, so why bother to get close to him?"
"Oh, but during huge celebrations, the exchange of spiritual objects is often very active. It may be beneficial to join in the fun. You can go and find out if there is any special place. I will go with you." Xue Tong said with a smile.
...Jinghui Tower. Xue Tong brought Jiao Shi to the venue, and he spent millions upon entry. There are thirty main seats at the round-shaped long table, and each person can bring one person.
Jiao Shi sat behind Xue Tong. The second exchange meeting of the day. Presiding over the middle stage of Martial Saint, he is a senior elder of Duxian Sect.
Two hours before the exchange meeting, Xue Tong's expression was almost unchanged and he just watched and said nothing. There are only two people like this on the field.
As the exchange meeting came to an end, the demonic golden-masked man finally spoke,
"Please exchange these Dragon-defying Pills for something suitable." After saying this, he threw out the crystal clear jade box, which contained four bright red elixirs.
There was a sudden burst of suppressed exclamations in the room. Of course Xue Tong knew the power of Nilong Dan, so he took it
It means "Reversal of True Dragon's Bloodline". Although it is an exaggeration, it is enough to show the earth-shattering body-refining effect of this elixir.
The golden-faced devil is in the middle stage of martial arts. His aura and body are not like those of a body-refining monk, so the Dragon Reverse Pill is useless to him, otherwise he would never sell it.
Xue Tong weighed it up and found that the Dragon-defying Pill was slightly more rare than the Immortal-Building Pill. His mind was spinning,
"Six Buxing elixirs can be exchanged, but Xue has no elixirs on hand, not to mention that the Buxing elixirs are side magic elixirs, and the devil may not recognize them."
"What do you want to exchange for, fellow Taoist?" someone else asked.
"The Immortal Pill" said the golden-faced devil.
"I really want to exchange it for the Qi Refining Pill of the same quality!" Xue Tong suddenly remembered that Lu Zhanfeng told him that the Immortal Replenishing Pill was obtained from the ancient books of the demon clan, and there was also a set of Ice Demon God's techniques.
"Could it be..." Xue Tong's bold thoughts were interrupted by the conversation on the field.
"No one has the immortal elixir, how about exchanging it with a fourth-grade magic weapon?" Wusheng Tixiu took the lead in making an offer.
"One elixir for one weapon!" The price of the golden-faced devil was astonishing. Even a rich man like Xue Tong thought it was too high.
"Fellow Taoist, your price is sky-high, please be sincere," Ti Xiu said. The golden-faced devil ignored it and glanced slowly.
Xue Tong finally spoke,
"Luo also has something rare that he wants to exchange for the elixir." Xue Tong grabbed the pet bag and took out a pair of live insects.
Heavenly Corpse Insects! As soon as they enter, the corpse insects have been eating the rotten corpses of Wu Sheng and the live and dead insects left by Han Xirong in recent years, and their aura is greatly increased.
Xue Tong took out a large piece of bamboo board and densely covered it with thousands of insect eggs. He asked in a serious tone: "We won't sell live insects, but how many elixirs can we exchange for these eggs?"
