Zhang Liangzheng was sitting boredly in the guest room of the small whale boat, eating dried shrimps and meat, and reading a book of weapon refining tips in his hand.
Suddenly, the World Divine Mirror trembled slightly.
"No, come again?"
Zhang Liang was a little speechless. He was still on Qingshan Island, and he was still sailing away from Qingshan Island not long after the whale boat took on passengers.
What's the matter, are all killers popular nowadays?
Zhang Liang swallowed the dried shrimp in his mouth, put away his weapon refining experience, and at the same time looked around with the spirit insect warning.
When Zhang Liang wanted to use the spirit insects to see who it was, he suddenly discovered that the three second-order jade cockroaches he had planted lost contact at the same time.
At that moment, the World Divine Mirror trembled violently.
Zhang Liang didn't even have time to escape, and directly took out the first-order high-grade sea urchin giant shield.
"Bang!"
Just hearing a roar, the cabin door where Zhang Liang was was blasted open, and a red sword wave instantly covered the cabin.
"Kakaka!"
"Bang~"
"Boom~"
At that moment, Zhang Lianghai's giant shield was directly blasted to pieces by the blood-colored sword waves. Holding the remaining shield in his arms, Zhang Liang was blasted out of the window and smashed into the Immortal Sea.
Zhang Liang flew hundreds of meters out in the sea water. The giant sea urchin shield in his hand was in pieces. Thirteen scales around him were spinning around him, but they were not broken.
The opponent's blow can be said to be a sure-kill sword for those in the late stage of ordinary Qi training.
Thanks to the reminder from the Divine Mirror of the Realm, he took out the giant sea urchin shield in advance, withstood most of the attacks, and deployed thirteen scales. In addition, he was already in the late stage of the third level of body refining, so he was not damaged by this attack. .
However, he doesn't understand why there is a foundation builder who wants to kill him?
Although his first reaction was that people like Sun Qian were invited, he couldn't figure out how a small insect farm owner could invite people like him to do foundation building and overhaul?
At this moment, the man was dressed in white, standing proudly in the sky.
On the small whale boat, countless people were attracted by the movement and were watching.
A late Qi practitioner and a perfect Qi practitioner appeared quickly, but when they saw the man wielding the sword, their expressions suddenly changed.
"No, it's a foundation construction overhaul, what should I do?"
"Activate the ship formation and leave quickly."
"Just leave like that?"
"Otherwise, what should we do? For dozens of spirit stones, we have to offend a foundation-building major cultivator?"
"Routinely notify the powerful people on Qingshan Island, but I guess they won't care. In short, we can't care about it even if we want to. After all, we are just a small whale ship. Lingxian Island has a lot of foundation building and overhaul. The matter can only be reported to the superiors for investigation!"
I saw that the small whale boat did not stop, but accelerated away.
At this moment, only Zhang Liang and the foundation-building overhaul standing proudly in the air were left in the room.
But I heard the man say: "You are really capable of blocking a foundation-building attack. It's a pity that your road has come to an end."
"oh?"
Zhang Liang slowly stood up and said with a calm expression: "I'm very curious. Why did you, a dignified foundation-building major, attack me during my Qi training period? And it's still in full view of the public. Aren't you afraid of others discovering your identity?"
The man's voice was cold: "So what if you notice it? Could it be that Lingxian Palace would punish me just for your Qi training period?"
Zhang Liang's face looked a little ugly. How could the sect be in such a long-term peace and order? If things go on like this, how can we control the whole world? Unfortunately, he had no place to say these words.
Just listen to him say: "Before I die, I have to know who wants to kill me, right? Did Sun Qian invite you here?"
"Are you so sure it's him?"
Zhang Liang shrugged: "I have always been kind to others, and Lingxian Island has never offended anyone. Only the dispute over Biyou Island Insect Farm, for some reason, angered Biyou Insect Farm and Sansha Insect Farm, and they have been deliberately targeting them from the beginning. I. Come to think of it, either Sun Qian invited you, or Luo Sanpang invited me. Luo Sanpang is bent on provoking a conflict between me and Sun Qian, and he has no reason to take action against me. So, you can only Was it invited by Sun Qian?"
Zhang Liang thought that maybe there were small insect farm owners who didn't like him, such as Wu Tian of the Sky Centipede Farm, but how could that guy He De hire a strong foundation builder?
Even if he really invited them, why did he think that Sun Qian and Luo Sanpang would be willing to give up the Black Wind Insect Farm to him? And why do you think Rao Yaoyao will let him rise to power?
"You guessed it right, but what can you do? Do you think you can run away during your Qi training period?"
"Sun Qian asked me to tell you that it's time to take Granny Jiang's life back."
After that, the man raised his hand, and a small red sword floated in front of him. With the influx of spiritual energy, it suddenly turned into a sword shadow several feet tall.
"This sword, named Red Sun, is for your funeral."
"Ha! It's just foundation building. You'll have to wait until you can catch up with me."
At that moment, when the sword energy exploded, Zhang Liang smashed his head into the water and escaped from the water in an instant.
In an instant, it disappeared within the range of this person's perception.
"snort!"
The foundation-building expert was not in a hurry, but said to the empty sea: "There are traces of the secret method of water escape. How many times can you escape?"
A moment later, ten miles away.
This man stood on the sea, his senses swept over him, and his expression suddenly changed.
"How is it possible, just in the Qi training period, how can it escape my perception?"
However, the traces of Water Release disappeared since then, and no matter how many times he tried, he could not find Zhang Liang.
However, this person was not willing to give in. He patted the spirit beast bag and released thousands of tiger-spotted centipedes and fibrous sea spiders, including dozens of second-order fibrous sea spiders. He did not believe that a person could Suddenly disappearing, this person must have left some traces, but he just didn't notice it.
But just as he released the spiritual worm, suddenly, with his spiritual sense, a huge black squid over thirty meters suddenly appeared from the bottom of the sea. The squid flashed with lightning and traces of blood, and shot towards him quickly. The speed is so fast that it definitely exceeds the power of an ordinary foundation-building blow.
The man's expression suddenly changed, and at the same time he understood clearly in his heart, why this man was able to avoid the pursuit of Qi Perfection, maybe it was not that he avoided it, but that he killed him instead.
At that moment, he felt that the black squid was coming so fast that he had no time to escape. He felt as if he was locked by a force of energy. This made him fearful. It was just a Qi training period. How could he have such tyrannical methods?
At that moment, he did not dare to neglect, and immediately took out a flying shield ship to block it in front of him, and at the same time activated his spiritual energy, preparing to use his escape technique to escape.
However, with a "click" sound, his Red Sun Sword exploded into pieces, unable to stop the terrifying black squid at all.
In just a moment, a terrifying current bypassed the flying shield and hit him.
This person was interrupted by this electric energy before he could even perform his escape technique. The next moment, the flying shield ship exploded and was shattered by this force.
"Impossible~"
I saw a small golden jade exploded from the man's neck, turning into a spiritual energy barrier. However, in just a few breaths, this barrier was full of cracks.
"Bang~"
In less than three breaths, the barrier shattered, and the man was enveloped in blood and arcs of electricity.
A dignified foundation-building expert was actually penetrated by a single blow.
It wasn't until the electric arc dissipated that Zhang Liang emerged from the sand at the bottom of the sea. He couldn't help but sigh. The blue-backed stingray's secret skill of burrowing in the sand was really amazing. Even the foundation-building monks couldn't find him. They still relied on spiritual insects to find him. Look for.
Of course, if the spirit insect is given enough time, it is indeed possible to find him, but how could Zhang Liang give the other party this opportunity?
At this moment, when Zhang Liang came to the sea, only the remains of the strong foundation builder were still lying on the sea. Both of his arms were gone, and his flesh and blood were charred, but he still seemed to have a glimmer of consciousness.
Around this person, there were a large number of insect corpses, as well as many tiger-spotted centipedes and fibrous sea spiders that were not completely dead. Their number exceeds 20 million.
Obviously, this person was trying to release all the spiritual insects to attack him at the last moment of his consciousness.
Unfortunately, the power of the Black Crow Formation had not been completely exhausted at that time, and most of the first-order spiritual insects were electrocuted to death. There were only dozens of second-order spirit insects left, but their bodies were numb and numb, but they were not dead yet.
Zhang Liang did not dare to neglect, and immediately released his jade cockroaches and blood-sucking purple locusts to clean up the surrounding spiritual insects, and gathered all the second-order spiritual insects into an empty spiritual beast bag. He was not going to tame these spiritual insects, so selling them directly in exchange for resources was the best plan.
After all, neither the tiger-spotted centipede nor the fibrous sea spider is his main spiritual insect. It is even less likely that he would open up a new category of insect farming just for these second-order spiritual insects.
After doing this, Zhang Liang came to the man and squatted down.
However, when Zhang Liang took a closer look, he saw that the appearance of this man's face seemed to have changed from before, and he seemed a bit familiar to him.
Thinking about it, this person should have had his appearance changed just now.
I saw Zhang Liang pull out a portrait from his storage bag, looked at the portrait, and couldn't help but said in shock: "Sun Qian?"
Zhang Liang's face was full of astonishment. He never expected that this foundation-building expert was actually Sun Qian himself.
I saw that Sun Qian's remaining eyeball seemed to move, and seemed to be looking at Zhang Liang, and seemed to be looking at the night.
Zhang Liang seemed to understand a little, and finally Youyou said: "It turns out that you have built a foundation. It seems that you have just built a foundation, and you can't wait to kill me. Do you really think that building a foundation makes you invincible? It's just one move."
Zhang Liang was speechless and said: "But I don't understand. I have no grievances with you, but I occupy an insect farm on Biyou Island that does not belong to you. You are facing me to the death. Why? Just because of those indigenous people Family? Or am I preventing you from becoming the number one insect king of Biyou Island? You are not crazy."
"Yeah..."
Sun Qian made a little noise in his throat, as if he wanted to say something, but before the words came out, he left them in one breath.
Zhang Liangxun felt that if he had already built a foundation, he could try to search for souls. Unfortunately, he couldn't do it now, and he couldn't understand what Sun Qian was thinking.
This way.
Following Zhang Liang's thought, he released some spiritual blood ants again. Although they were not second-level, they were still high-quality first-level ants. Together with the jade cockroaches, they quickly devoured Sun Qian.
Zhang Liang quickly took away Sun Qian's storage bag and spirit beast bag, used a water escape technique to escape, and finally paraded in the immortal sea in his normal posture for a while, then changed his appearance and landed on Qingshan Island.
Zhang Liang thought for a moment and decided to stay one night on Qingshan Island and continue to Lingxian Island.
He guessed that very few people knew about Sun Qian's foundation building, and perhaps no one knew about it at all.
Otherwise, there are countless foundation-building experts on Lingxian Island. Even if there are casual cultivators building foundations, if they are discovered immediately, Lingxian Palace will definitely send someone to come, either by invitation or invitation, to lure them into Lingxian Island.
After all, he is a strong foundation builder, and it takes a lot of qi training to produce one person. Naturally, it is best for such a talent to join the sect, and it can also enhance the sect's strength.
But Sun Qian appeared on Qingshan Island, perhaps waiting for him, wanting to kill him before revealing his foundation-building strength. At that time, the owner of a small insect farm disappears, and who knows where?
Even if someone guessed that he was killed, who should he suspect?
In a few months or years, when Sun Qian's foundation-building skills are revealed, who will remember this? Even if they remember this, who can get a Foundation Building Overhaul?
Therefore, after thinking about it all, Zhang Liang felt that Sun Qian's foundation building had not been discovered yet.
As a disciple of Lingxian Palace, I went to Lingxian Island in a fair and upright manner.
Although as time passed, Sun Qian's disappearance would definitely not be concealed.
But when he hides his cultivation, who can doubt him? If you want to be suspicious, the first one to be suspicious is Luo Sanpang, right?
After finding a secret place, Zhang Liang checked Sun Qian's spirit beast bag and smiled bitterly. It seemed that this guy had released all the spirit insects!
It's a pity that he directly used the most powerful Black Crow Formation, which is comparable to the group attack technique in the later stage of foundation building. Ordinary spirit insects cannot bear it at all, and it is normal for them to fall.
As for the storage bag, Zhang Liang found that there were only more than a thousand spiritual stones in it, and there were nine out of ten elixirs of various colors in it. As for the weapons, there was only a first-class water-avoiding sword.
This net worth really left Zhang Liang speechless.
But after thinking about it, it seems normal. Sun Qian had just successfully built the foundation. When building the foundation, various resources must have been consumed a lot, as can be seen from the empty pill bottles.
Therefore, this time, I really didn't get any benefits.
Two days later.
On Lingxian Island, Zhang Liang first went to the coast of Sanxiu to clean up the debris left by Sun Qian and obtained a total of 2,300 spiritual stones, which was better than nothing.
Then, Zhang Liang spent half a month selling the second-order spirit insects left by Sun Qian at Liuxiaoxianfang on Lingxian Island. Except for those who died, there were less than forty second-level spiritual insects in total, and they finally harvested more than 26,000 spiritual stones.
In addition to the scattered items on his body, Zhang Liang's net worth now reaches as much as 150,000 spiritual stones. Of course, he cannot carry them all with him.
Zhang Liang was not in a hurry to go to Pinxian Tower, but entered Lingxian Palace first and went to Yubi Peak.
This time, after spending a hundred contribution points, he could spend a day reading on the first floor of the library. Zhang Liang then rummaged through books about spiritual fruits.
The Immortal Sea is so big that Zhang Liang is not sure if there are any relevant records about the spirit fruit in the library on Lingxian Island.
However, to Zhang Liang's expectation, it only took him less than three hours to find the information about this spiritual fruit.
It turns out that this fruit is called the Golden Jade Fruit, and its grade can be seen based on the spiritual patterns on the fruit. One spiritual pattern is the first level, and two spiritual patterns are the second level. They are often found in the places where strong body refiners fell, and were born from the energy and blood of the body refiners.
Zhang Liang was immediately overjoyed. There were two spiritual patterns on his spiritual fruit. He originally thought they were just the characteristics of the fruit itself.
According to the records in the book, the Golden Jade Fruit is an excellent spiritual fruit for body refiners. Taking this fruit can use the power of the spiritual fruit to naturally temper the body twice. It can effectively and significantly improve physical fitness, strengthen flesh and blood, eliminate impurities, and provide a large amount of energy to enhance qi and blood. It is generally used during body refining and breakthrough, and has the best effect.
Zhang Liang felt a little pity when he saw this description. He hoped that this spiritual fruit could have an effect on improving spiritual veins. After all, when it comes to refining your body, you only need to eat it. This golden jade fruit cannot be said to be useless to you. So greatly improving physical fitness and eliminating impurities is also a type of marrow cleansing, right? .
Maybe this fruit can't improve the spiritual veins, but it should have some effect to some extent, just not big.
As for selling, I am not very short of money, and this thing is a rare thing that you may not be able to buy even if you have money. It is obviously not cost-effective to sell it.
Of course, if in the future, if you can use this golden jade fruit to exchange for some trump cards that you need, that would be fine. He just doesn't know if the Golden Jade Fruit can be exchanged for the Yimai Fruit. If he can, he will never hesitate.
Although Zhang Liang already knew the function of the Golden Jade Fruit, he only spent three hours in one day. It would be a waste if he left now.
However, my knowledge on genius treasures was indeed lacking, so I simply continued to read the relevant books. After all, identifying objects was a matter of knowledge, and no one knew where it would be used.
Even one day later, Zhang Liang continued for another day.
On this day, Zhang Liang mainly looked for ways to save his life in the library.
Immortal cultivators have various ways to die, but there are many common ways to save their lives.
For example, protective jade, like the one on Sun Qian, will automatically activate to protect itself when encountering fatal danger.
Another example is elixirs. A magic elixir may save a person's life. Zhang Liang, who is below the second level, simply ignores it. To save life, he naturally wants the best. Seven or eight options ended up being listed.
Also, when a cultivator is in danger, it is not necessarily a crisis in the immortal sea. In many cases, his skills are inferior to others. At this time, the method of causing a short-term surge in cultivation is crucial.
If you want your cultivation level to skyrocket, you can either use pills or secret techniques. Of course, Zhang Liang has a better idea, that is, when he is completely defeated, he can just run away with the Divine Mirror.
In addition, some formations, talismans and the like are also essential.
In short, Zhang Liang collected a lot of things. I'll collect it slowly as to how much I can get. Anyway, I still have time.
…
Eight days later.
Zhang Liang walked out of the Pinxian Tower with his hands on his waist, turned around and found a nearby Xiaoxianfang, bought some first-order high-grade formation techniques and weapon refining experience, and then returned to Biyou Island.
In the Black Wind Insect Farm, everything is as usual. No one seems to know about Sun Qian's death. The Biyou Insect Farm is also operating as usual. I don't know if they don't know that their owner has died, or if they know about it, they are looking for a way out.
In short, Zhang Liang has no interest in intervening, nor does he want to interfere. I have already killed Sun Qian. This Biyou Insect Farm has no owner. If I am taking the lead in causing trouble, why not make it clear that I have killed Sun Qian?
On the contrary, do nothing and leave it to Luo Sanpang! Hasn't this guy been fighting with Sun Qian? Now it's time to fight.
However, not long after Zhang Liang returned from Lingxian Island, he had an in-depth exchange with Yang Xue, and then he heard Yang Xue say: "Master, your five-year term of office has passed, and the sixth year has passed soon. This year's insect fighting competition will be over." It’s about to start, why don’t we join in?”
"Huh? Starting again?"
Zhang Liang had forgotten about the insect fighting competition, but then he thought, why not participate?
Sun Qian is gone. Regardless of whether Biyou Insect Field can survive this year's insect fighting competition, it will not affect him anyway. Now, just over a year later, there are three more second-level low-grade spiritual blood ants. Moreover, the number of second-level low-grade jade cockroaches has also increased by seven or eight. With our confidence, why don’t we participate?
Furthermore, without the support of Biyou Insect Farm, how many second-order spiritual insects can those small insect farms prepare to participate in the Insect Fighting Competition.
No, Zhang Liang immediately said: "Participate. Please discuss this matter with Yang Xun. The leader of this field will go in person this time."
"ah?"
Yang Xue only felt that the surprise came too suddenly, and said quickly: "Yes, the owner, I will inform my grandfather later. It's just..."
"If you have something to say, don't hesitate."
Yang Xue: "It's just that no one invited us to participate in the Insect Fighting Competition this year. They seem to have forgotten our Black Wind Insect Farm?"
"Oh? What do I think is going on? Is there someone to host this insect fighting competition?"
Yang Xue: "It used to be co-hosted by the three major insect farms. Later, it was co-hosted by Biyou Insect Farm and Sansha Insect Farm. Do we want to inform you?"
Zhang Liang sneered: "No, just go directly. I don't believe they will not let the Black Wind Insect Farm participate. By the way, when will it start."
"A month later."
…
One month later.
On this day, the tide receded on Biyou Island.
A place near the coast called "Insect Hole" is a large mudflat with a naturally concave topography.
Whenever the tide recedes, many ordinary creatures from the Immortal Sea will be left here, including shrimps, crabs, fish, and insects.
Under normal circumstances, fishermen and farmers would come together every day to hunt some common catches.
However, there is one special day every year, and that is the Bug Fighting Competition.
At this moment, tens of thousands of people gathered around Chongkeng, all coming to watch the insect fight.
Luo Sanpang from Sansha Insect Farm arrived early in the morning, along with a total of seven other small insect farms.
At this moment, Luo Sanpang frowned and said to his subordinates: "What's going on? Where is Sun Qianren?"
The burly subordinate wondered: "I don't know, my subordinates! I always feel that the people in Biyou Insect Farm have been acting strangely recently. They sent people to discuss the Insect Fighting Competition, but they couldn't even see Sun Qian, or even Jiang Po." Not."
"Ha... Granny Jiang, that old guy has died long ago."
Luo Sanpang narrowed his eyes. This was what an insider at Biyou Insect Farm told him. They said that for a period of time, people died one after another at Biyou Insect Farm, and Mrs. Jiang went to sea and never returned.
At that time, Luo Sanpang vaguely guessed something, but he was not sure.
However, Mrs. Jiang is dead, so it is understandable that she does not show up. So what is Sun Qian doing? Do you need to send someone here?
While Luo Sanpang was thinking, he saw a group of people coming in large numbers, led by a skinny man. This person is somewhat famous. He is Zhou Tong, the second most important housekeeper under Po Meng of Biyou Insect Farm.
Zhou Tong led people into the arena, and immediately clasped fists with Luo Sanpang and said, "Master Luo, fellow owners. My owner is currently in a critical moment of seclusion, and it is difficult to come in person. I have specially sent you to preside over the insect fighting competition, please." Please forgive me."
"The critical moment of retreat?"
Luo Sanpang's heart sank, and he thought to himself, is that boy Sun Qian trying to achieve Qi training perfection? So, he used this to announce to the major insect fields that his strength was about to be improved?
Luo Sanpang had a sullen face and snorted coldly: "Retreat in seclusion. Why are you here so late? Hurry up. Now that everyone is here, let's start!"
"Wait!"
Suddenly, a lazy shout caught everyone's attention.
Countless onlookers followed the sound and saw that a path suddenly opened up in the crowd.
I saw Zhang Liang dressed in the costume of a disciple of Lingxian Palace, holding a folding fan and smiling, just like a handsome and handsome young man.
Yang Xue and Yang Xun, one on the left and one on the right, followed respectfully behind them, and a large number of insect farmers followed at the end.
Just listen to Zhang Liang's long voice: "Brother Luo, why didn't you notify me about this insect fighting competition?"
