"In this world, the most important thing is my own strength after all! Only strong enough strength is the foundation for my foothold!" Zhou Lei murmured to himself.
Moreover, Zhou Lei understands that obtaining resources is just a process for himself to climb to a higher level, and he cannot put the cart before the horse.
After briefly giving instructions to deal with the next few issues, Zhou Lei also began to enter seclusion.
Near the mouth of Yuanquan, Zhou Lei sat cross-legged on a futon, his mind as peaceful as a calm lake, calm and calm. The Heaven-shaking Raging Wave Technique began to operate, and wisps of vitality spread around it, like water flowing in the air.
The mist floating in the air like a white gauze seemed to have turned into a stream of water at this moment, slowly circling with Zhou Lei as the center.
Feeling the clear sound of flowing water from the Yuanquan nearby, Zhou Lei closed his eyes as he savored the feeling. There seemed to be some vague realization, but it seemed as if he didn't feel anything at all.
(Boundless beauty, bleak life
, but they complement each other so well. They complement each other so well. )
During the practice, time flew by, and another month passed in the blink of an eye.
……,…….
"Kang Tian, have you achieved a breakthrough in your cultivation?" In the main hall, the Thirteenth Elder Kang Yang stared at Kang Tian in a daze, feeling the majestic terror as if he were facing a terrifying threat from the General Bone Realm, his face full of astonishment. , eyes full of disbelief!
In fact, Kang Tian did not leak too much aura, and there was not much fluctuation in his body. But that kind of sensory suppression made the thirteenth elder Kang Yang feel a little breathless, and he felt as if another mountain was pressing down in front of him!
"It's just a fluke." Kang Tian's soft voice said.
Looking at this scene, the thirteenth elder Kang Yang felt both relieved and filled with incomparable complexity.
In my heart, I felt as if I had knocked over the five-flavor bottle, and all the five flavors were mixed. Fortunately, Kang Tian is indeed one of the most outstanding geniuses of this generation of the Kang family, and the family is expected to rise in the future.
What's complicated is that he has been practicing for half his life, and he has been practicing hard for fifty or sixty years, but in the end he is not as good as a junior who has only been practicing for six or seven years. I have practiced hard and reached a state that is difficult to reach in this life.
From the perspective of these geniuses, it only takes a little more effort to achieve it easily.
Fortunately, after practicing for more than half his life, the psyche of the Thirteenth Elder Kang Yang has already matured. He is not like those young people who are just starting out and can only blame the world and the air to cover up their incompetence. Therefore, the Thirteenth Elder Kang Yang soon He suppressed all the complicated emotions in his heart.
"Where's Zhou Lei?" Kang Tian asked doubtfully.
"Zhou Lei went into seclusion to practice." Kang Yang, the thirteenth elder, said.
"By the way, let's not talk about this for now, Kang Tian. I came to you this time because something happened outside, and I had to come to you."
The Thirteenth Elder Kang Yang said solemnly: "Didn't we seize a few pirate ships before, recruit some cultivators on the island, and form a caravan to develop Huangdao's economy?"
"At the beginning, the fleet was running well, but not long ago, when the caravan went to sea, it was robbed along with the ship..."
"Do you know which group of people did it?" Kang Tian's face was calm, with no expression on his face.
"They are the Eighteen Thieves." As soon as Kang Yang, the thirteenth elder, finished speaking, he saw Kang Tian's eyes condensed and his eyes were slightly cold.
Recently, Huangdao has not been very peaceful. Not only are the outside cultivators who are trapped here, but the faces of the outside cultivators who have to stay here are full of bitterness, even some local cultivators feel a feeling that a storm is coming.
"Hey, when do you think this day will end? Those pirates have made such a big fuss, aren't you afraid that the Black Turtle Sword Sect will get angry and clean them all up in one fell swoop?" A cultivator spoke in a restaurant next to the port, his voice filled with emotion. With a look of complaint.
Several cultivators who were forced to stay here also had sad faces. All this was because a month ago, the Eighteen Pirates blocked the route to Huangdao for some unknown reason, and not only intercepted the merchant ship of the original owner of Huangdao. He was detained, and then any merchant ship was prohibited from entering the Huangdao area!
Every ship that was seen passing Huangdao was robbed and intercepted by eighteen pirates.
The entire Huangdao was sealed off. No small sampan could enter or leave. People or materials from the outside could not enter, and the practitioners inside could not get out.
For a time, the entire Huangdao was in panic. Those practitioners who happened to be stranded here were even more uncomfortable.
They were afraid that a large-scale conflict would break out over important matters, or that pirates would attack the island, and they might become cannon fodder in the battle.
"If pirates were so easy to kill, then these eighteen pirates wouldn't have been left alone for decades without anyone taking care of them. If they were in danger, they would have plunged into the sea. Who would be able to find traces in this vast sea?"
"Unless the Black Turtle Sword Sect is willing to spend a lot of manpower and material resources to clean up this Huangdao, but it's impossible even if you think about it."
"After all, this place is one hundred thousand miles away from the Black Turtle Island of the Black Turtle Sword Sect, and it doesn't get much attention here."
At the wine table, the cultivators sighed. In fact, this is indeed the case. From the Black Turtle Sword Sect's point of view, this area is not important at all. Spending a lot of money to clear it out is not worth the gain. And it's so complicated that it's hard to explain at the moment.
It is precisely for this reason that pirates roaming the sea in this area are repeatedly killed.
"I heard that the owner of Huangdao has personally taken action. I heard that this island owner is very powerful. I hope I can wipe out those damn pirates!" Another person spoke up, his voice full of resentment towards the pirates.
"What are you thinking about? Although I heard that this island owner comes from the inner sect of the Black Turtle Sword Sect, there are practitioners of the General Bone Realm among the Eighteen Pirates!" A practitioner with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks at the wine table sneered. He said it without any politeness.
"Let's not talk about the strength of the general bone realm that those on the island are boasting about. Even if he really has such strength, the so-called island owner does not ask the Black Turtle Sword Sect for help, but instead promises to solve it himself. It's really It’s extremely stupid!”
"He wanted to be a hero and show his pride, but he made us get here!" The cultivator was depressed and unhappy, and he directly expressed some of his thoughts through the drunkenness. There were many cultivators around him. The person nodded.
They were not very optimistic about this battle. I just hope that in the end, they won’t be dragged into this battle.
And on the entire Huangdao, the cultivators near these ports are not the only ones who think so. Even the local cultivators are not very optimistic about Zhou Lei's actions this time.
……,…….
At the same time, hundreds of miles away from Huangdao, there is an unnamed island hidden in the uninhabited land of the deep sea.
"To get rid of the owner of Huangdao Island, there is no need to bother Third Brother. You have to do it yourself. I didn't say it. It will only take ten days and a half at most. I will definitely take the head off that kid's neck and avenge the Eighth Brother." The improvised pirates In the nest, a bald man with a beard sat on a chair and shouted loudly at a young man with a thin body and a sinister face sitting on the front seat.
"Old Eleven, please be patient." The feminine man didn't pay much attention to the bald man's offense, waved his hand, and said.
