After Tian Xiaoding arrived at Bihaixuan Iceland, he met his wife Ouyang Qing's master Zhong Zhenzi. This is an old Taoist nun whose cultivation level is the same as that of Zhong Xiangzi, reaching the middle stage of Xushen.
Although he has advanced cultivation, Zhong Zhenzi is kind and kind, and his attitude towards Xiao Ding is also very gentle, without that condescending air.
Therefore, Xiao Ding relaxed and boldly saluted and asked: "Senior Zhongzhen, I heard from Senior Zhongxiang that my wife Ouyang Qing disappeared some time ago. I wonder how she disappeared?"
Now that he had met Qing'er's master, he naturally wanted to find out the specific ins and outs of the matter.
Seeing that Xiao Ding finally got to the point, Zhong Zhenzi sighed and said, "This matter goes back to before the secret realm of Lingtai Island was opened. At that time, all the foundation-building disciples in our sect were preparing to go to Fengluan Continent. Lingtai Island. Of course, Qing'er is also preparing to go to the secret realm."
Speaking of this, Zhong Zhenzi paused, and then continued: "I wonder if you know that if you go to Fengluan Continent from us, you need to spend a huge amount of spiritual stones and ride the teleportation array all the way to Fengluan Continent. Otherwise, it will be impossible to get through.”
Xiao Ding nodded and replied: "This junior also knows. To be honest, this junior came here from Fengluanzhou. He spent countless spiritual stones on the way!" Xiao Ding did not calculate in detail. How many low-grade blue spiritual stones have been spent along the way?
Zhong Zhenzi was also a little surprised when he heard Xiao Ding say he was from Fengluanzhou. After all, under normal circumstances, ordinary monks would not spend so many spiritual stones on intercontinental travel.
"Did you come here specifically to look for Qing'er?" Zhong Zhenzi asked.
"Senior is right, I came here just to find Qing'er." Xiao Ding replied affirmatively.
"But Qing'er has been in our Bihaixuan Iceland for more than three years. You are her husband. Why did you come to find her today?" Zhong Zhenzi also asked the question in her heart.
Xiao Ding sighed and replied: "Senior, to be honest, Qing'er and I are both from the earth. We accidentally bumped into each other through the time and space teleportation array and came to the Tiankun planet. I don't know what happened. For some reason, we didn’t land at the same place. I landed on Fengluan Continent, but she landed on Huaxuan Continent. Moreover, we didn’t know where the other had landed. I was also on Lingtai Island recently. I met the monks from Hua Xuanzhou in the secret realm. After asking around, I found out that Qing'er had fallen into the noble sect. So I went through all kinds of hardships to get here." After saying that, Xiao Ding lowered his eyes. .
Zhong Zhenzi nodded and said suddenly: "That's it! No wonder Qing'er has been thinking about you all day long, but she didn't go out to find you. Many people heard that she said she was married, but no one believed it. How could anyone have ever been married? People, we haven’t seen each other for more than three years.”
Xiao Ding quickly said guiltily: "It's all my fault, I owe Qing'er..."
Zhong Zhenzi said thoughtfully: "Back then, I rescued Qing'er from the vast sea. I saw that she was very talented and had a single-line Ice Tiangen, which was just suitable for our sect's skills, so I accepted her as my disciple. A closed disciple. At that time, she also mentioned to me that she was from another planet and had been married. I thought that was her excuse to reject other male cultivators."
Xiao Ding was speechless for a while, thinking to himself, Qing'er didn't know where she had landed. She must have been suffering from lovesickness in these years. However, after he finally learned the news about Qing'er, he immediately came to look for her, but what he got was the bad news that she had disappeared. This thief, God, is simply making a fool of himself!
"When Qing'er first came to Tiankun Planet, she was only in the early stages of foundation building. She was able to successfully build a foundation in just over three years, and that's all thanks to your cultivation, senior." Din said gratefully.
Hearing what Xiao Ding said, Zhong Zhenzi also said with some pride: "The reason why Qing'er can practice so fast has a lot to do with her natural talent and her own hard work. Of course, she also She came to the right place, and the ice-based techniques of our Bihaixuanjingjing are just right for her physique. All of this seems to be destined by God, and it is all fate."
Seeing that the topic had gone too far, Xiao Ding quickly continued to ask: "Since Qing'er has successfully established the foundation, it is understandable that she goes to the secret realm of Lingtai Island, right? But I am not in the secret realm of Lingtai Island. Have you seen her?"
Hearing this, Zhong Zhenzi sighed again and said: "No. Our Bihaixuan Iceland is different from other sects in Huaxuanzhou. Our Bihaixuan Iceland is far away from the Huaxuanzhou continent, and the island is lacking in resources. The mainland is also far away and full of dangers. Therefore, our island does not have any industry of its own, nor does it have a city belonging to our island, which cannot earn us more resources and wealth. Therefore, our sect is actually relatively Poor.”
"No tributary city?" Xiao Ding was surprised. He thought that the sects on Tiankun Star Continent seemed to have their own tributary city.
"Yes, we don't have a city, so we lose a lot of sources of income. Moreover, we have thousands of disciples in Bihaixuanjingjing, and the majority of them are foundation-building disciples, and there are about seven or eight hundred people. If These seven or eight hundred people are all going to the secret realm of Lingtai Island. If they rely on the sect to provide them with the spiritual stone expenses they need along the way, then our sect will not be able to produce so many spiritual stones." Zhong Zhenzi explained with a sigh.
"There are so many foundation-building disciples?" Xiao Ding was a little shocked and said to himself, it seems that there are not so many people he has seen in the secret realm of Lingtai Island.
Zhong Zhenzi continued: "Yes, with so many foundation-building disciples, the sect has no way to provide them with the huge amount of spiritual stones they need along the way. Therefore, our master uncle decided to provide them with the spiritual stones needed to go to Lingtai Island. It is up to the disciples who want to go to collect the stones themselves, and the sect only provides a very small part of the spiritual stones."
"So, if you want to go to the secret realm of Lingtai Island, you have to rely on yourself?" Xiao Ding interrupted.
"Yes, that's right." Zhong Zhenzi nodded and said, "So, in order to earn enough spiritual stones, the disciples on our island all went to sea one after another to catch fish and shrimps in the nearby waters, and catch all kinds of seafood, including It will include some low-level monsters.”
"Can these things be used in exchange for spiritual stones?" Xiao Ding asked guessing.
"That's right. The waters near Bihaixuan Iceland are rich in three kinds of extremely delicious seafood, which are extremely popular on the Huaxuanzhou continent. They are: cold sea ice shrimp, cold sea ice fish, and cold sea ice crab. We The main source of income for the sect’s daily expenses is to catch these three kinds of seafood, bring them to the main continent of Huaxuanzhou for sale, and then exchange them for the daily necessities on our island. Of course, if we can catch the monsters in the sea, , you can also get Hua Xuanzhou in exchange for spiritual stones." Zhong Zhenzi explained patiently.
"I see. However, if you go to Fengluan Continent from here, the amount of spiritual stones required is very huge. This cannot be collected in a short time?" Xiao Ding questioned.
"So, in order to collect enough spirit stones to go to Fengluan Continent, many disciples will take risks and form teams to capture some higher-level sea monsters. Some of these sea monsters can already be used Refining elixirs and refining weapons are of higher value and can be exchanged for more spiritual stones." Zhong Zhenzi said eloquently.
"Isn't this very dangerous?" Xiao Ding said worriedly.
Zhong Zhenzi sighed again and continued: "There is definitely a danger, but everyone has no choice but to collect enough spiritual stones."
"So, did Qing'er also go to capture high-level monsters?" Xiao Ding became even more worried.
Zhong Zhenzi nodded slightly, and then said: "The day Qing'er disappeared, she teamed up with her fellow disciples and sisters to go to sea to capture monsters. Then she never came back..."
"Ah?" Xiao Ding was shocked and asked quickly, "Then did she encounter any danger or accident..."
Zhong Zhenzi's expression also became solemn. She shook her head and said, "I'm not sure yet. I heard from the disciples who came back that a total of seven of them went to a building named Ten Miles South of Bihaixuan Iceland that day. Capture the sea monster near Whale Shark Island. At that time, the seven of them encountered a sixth-level shark monster. After a fierce fight, the shark monster was injured and ran away. Qing'er took the lead and chased after it. When the other six people reacted and chased after , there was no trace of Qing'er and the shark demon. At that time, the six of them searched for a long time in the waters near the whale shark island, but could not find Qing'er, and then they had to return."
Hearing this, Xiao Ding felt cold in his heart. Could it be that his wife Ouyang Qing had been eaten by the shark monster?
She, a foundation-building monk, chased a sixth-level monster alone. That was equivalent to the cultivation level of a human golden elixir-level monk. Although she was injured, it was not something Qing'er could handle by herself. !
Thinking of this, the more Xiao Ding thought about it, the more he felt that Ouyang Qing was in danger.
He never imagined that he had been unable to find his wife for more than three years after arriving on Tiankun planet. Now I just learned the news about my wife, and it’s such bad news! This made Xiao Ding's heart surge like boiling water.
Xiao Ding has been running around and working hard for days. He feels anxious and his body is already a little weak. At this moment, he thought again that he might never see the Qing'er he was thinking about again in this life. In desperation, the blood in his body surged, and his chest was surging. Then he felt a pain in his chest, and a mouthful of blood spurted out. out……
Then he stared blankly ahead for a few seconds before falling to the ground...
Such a change shocked Zhong Zhenzi who was sitting in his seat. She quickly stood up and came to Xiao Ding, reached out to grab Xiao Ding's wrist, and checked his pulse. She was relieved when she saw that he was just vomiting blood and fainting due to anxiety, and his body was not seriously injured. He quickly sent some spiritual power into Xiao Ding's body through his wrist to help him wake up.
It didn't take long for Xiao Ding to wake up. He slowly opened his eyes, and what he was thinking about was still Qing'er's former figure. He stared at the ceiling with his empty eyes, and suddenly opened his mouth and shouted: "Qing'er, I'm sorry for you!"
After shouting this, he spurted out a large mouthful of blood...
