"It doesn't matter, I have already prepared for you as a teacher." Qin Ziling said.
"Yes!" Upon hearing this, Lien Changfeng instantly regained his confidence and straightened his back.
"Let's talk about the second thing."
"The five-year tribute date is approaching."
"Oh." Qin Ziling was slightly startled when he heard this, and then asked: "Are the tribute items ready?"
Qin Ziling naturally has no intention of competing with the Fire Ape Kingdom now. He must pay tribute when he should.
"Master, everything is ready." Lian Changfeng replied, a look of distress flashed in his eyes.
"Show me the tribute list." Qin Ziling said.
Lien Changfeng quickly presented the gift list with both hands.
Qin Ziling took it over and took a quick look. He frowned slightly when he saw that the number of immortal stones alone required the equivalent of five thousand yuan of lower-grade immortal stones, as well as many other spiritual herbs, elixirs, ores, and other resources.
He has made a lot of money recently, so it is easy to use these resources, but for Qingyun Immortal Island, this is definitely a huge sum of money. I am afraid that almost half of the harvest savings in five years will be used.
"The Fire Ape Kingdom is a bit harsh!" Qin Ziling said.
"Yes, we work hard every year to manage Qingyun Fairy Island and nearby islands, search for natural materials and treasures, cultivate medicinal mountains and medicine gardens, dig ores, open furnaces to refine elixirs and refine weapons, and finally accumulate some resource wealth, but we are reluctant to take it. He came to share it with the people below to practice, but most of it was handed over to the Fire Ape Kingdom.
If tribute was not required every five years and so many resources were left to cultivate people, Qingyun Island would definitely be much stronger than it is now over the years. It's just a pity that the Fire Ape Country is powerful. If we want to keep Qingyun Island, we have to pay tribute honestly. "Qu Zhong took the words and said.
"This is also a way of ruling the Fire Ape Kingdom. They are enjoying their success and getting stronger and stronger. However, because of the tribute, you are exhausted and toil all day long, and you can only maintain your daily practice. Unless there is some chance, it will be difficult. If there is a chance for great progress, it will naturally be difficult to shake their position." Qin Ziling said solemnly.
"Yes, even if there are occasional risers, they are quickly suppressed. It is said that eight hundred years ago, a true immortal emerged from Wuhui Immortal Island. He was extremely powerful and wanted to get rid of the jurisdiction of the Fire Ape Kingdom and stand on his own. Portal. It is said that at that time, Ancestor Fukong and others were ready to join forces with him.
As a result, King Zhu Hang personally led the generals and armies of the four towns, directly landed on Wuhui Immortal Island, and killed him. After that, Patriarch Fukong and others gave up this idea and went to Pingyu Mountain to pay tribute every five years. " Qu Zhong said with emotion.
Qin Ziling felt awe-struck when he heard this, nodded and said: "Zhu Xian is a third-grade true immortal. He has ruled the blessed land of Pingyu Mountain for thousands of years. He has a profound background. If you want to fight against him and establish your own family, you must at least be able to control it in terms of personal strength. Only Zhu Yan’s strength is enough.”
"King Zhu Yan is a third-grade true immortal, and it is said that he has the bloodline of the ancient ferocious beast Zhu Yan. His combat power is astonishing. If you want to suppress him in terms of personal strength, you must at least be a fourth-grade true immortal! A fourth-grade true immortal, For us, it’s too far away and we don’t dare to think about it!” Qu Zhong shook his head after hearing this.
"It all depends on people. If it's too far away and we don't even dare to think about it, then in this life, let alone the fourth-grade true immortal, even the true immortal will have no hope for us!" Lian Changfeng said after hearing this, with a slightly naive look. His face showed a calmness and perseverance that was inconsistent with his age.
"It's good that you have such ambition at such a young age, very good!" Qin Ziling's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he patted Lian Changfeng on the shoulder happily.
Hearing this, Qu Zhong looked at Company Changfeng but remembered the former island owner. His eyes could not help but turn slightly red, but he quickly suppressed the emotions surging in his heart and said to Qin Ziling: "We are almost ready for the tribute. , Logically speaking, General Gou Huan of Zhenxi should not embarrass us.
By the way, our Qingyun Island is located to the west of the blessed land on Pingyu Mountain and is under the jurisdiction of General Zhenxi. Our tributes must also pass through his hands. As long as Gou Huan nods, we can continue to sit on Qingyun Fairy Island. If he is dissatisfied and reports it to the king, Qingyun Immortal Island is in danger of changing hands.
We are not worried about this. In private, we will also prepare generous gifts and tribute to Gou Huan. What we are worried about now is that it is a long way from here to the blessed land of Pingyu Mountain. It was okay on the way to pay tribute, and no one dared to intercept the tribute. But it is difficult to guarantee the return journey after paying tribute.
In previous years, the old island owner personally took people to the Fire Ape Kingdom. The old island owner was very powerful and had many strong people accompanying him, so naturally no one dared to intercept them halfway. But this time is different, the old island owner is no longer here, and we have a big feud with Bloody Cloud Island again..."
"When are you going to set off?" Qin Ziling interrupted Qu Zhong with a wave of his hand.
He already knew Qu Zhong's concerns.
"Fifty days later." Qu Zhong replied.
"Fifty days?" Qin Ziling rubbed his chin and counted the time. He felt that he should have survived the catastrophe by then and rushed back to Qingyun Island. Moreover, he also wanted to take this opportunity to visit the Fire Ape Kingdom, a blessed land on Pingyu Mountain. , so he said: "I will go with you."
"Sir, you have a distinguished status. How dare I bother you to accompany me in person? The island owner and I came here because we wanted to ask you to send two experts to accompany us," Qu Zhong said.
The outside world doesn't know that there are many earthly immortals and human immortals living in seclusion in the Five Elements Mountain Cave Heaven, but Qu Zhong still knows some of them.
"Lien Changfeng is my disciple. He has not grown up yet. As a master, I should protect him. Besides, I also want to go to the blessed land of Pingyu Mountain to broaden my horizons and meet the strong men of the Fire Ape Kingdom. "Qin Ziling said calmly.
"Thank you for your care, Master!" Lien Changfeng quickly stood up and saluted after hearing this.
Seeing that Company Commander Feng was only eleven years old, but he already acted like an adult, Qin Ziling couldn't help but think of his previous life. At that time, he was also an orphan, so he became sensible early and lost the innocence of a child. Of course, he also Have joy.
"You don't have to be so reserved in front of your master." Qin Ziling touched Lian Changfeng's head and said.
"Yeah." Lien Changfeng nodded.
…
A few days later, Qin Ziling and Xiao Qing quietly left Qingyun Immortal Island again, taking with them four other Nether Immortals and high-level Nether Pill Corpse Yingbao.
Qin Ziling's tribulation is no small matter. If the real immortal is alerted, he will need the help of Xiao Qing, Sishou and other underworld immortals and underworld elixir corpses to protect him.
Yuan Er and Xiong Da passed through the Hell Immortal Tribulation a few days ago.
The Hell Immortal Tribulation was extremely powerful and extremely difficult to overcome, but Qin Ziling had a mental connection with them, elicited the thunder and the five true fires to temper them in advance, and provided many resources to help them, so they survived the Heavenly Tribulation without any danger.
The catastrophe of the Zombie Underworld Immortal is difficult to overcome. Once it is over, the combat power of the Underworld Immortal in the early stage will be close to that of the Immortal Infant in the middle stage.
Qin Ziling understood a formation from the Great Road of Life and Death, called the Five Directions Dark Destruction Battle Formation.
The four underworld immortals and a high-level underworld elixir corpse are connected to Qin Ziling's mind and are like one body. Once these five directions of underworld destruction battle formations are set up, even the earth immortals in the late stage of Immortal Infant can fight.
On this day, clouds of calamity were gathering over an isolated island in the sea near Xuanming Continent.
A terrifying aura emanated from the calamity cloud. Not to mention that all the creatures in the sea near the isolated island seemed to be in danger of impending disaster. Even many people on the Xuanming Continent felt inexplicably heart palpitated, always feeling that some disaster was about to come. generally.
"This aura is even more terrifying than the Nine-Five Human Immortal Tribulation that Xiao Qing endured some time ago. God, you really think highly of me. You have arranged for me the Nine-Six Heavenly Tribulation! Come on," Qin Ziling looked up at the sky and said The face is unruly.
"Boom!" A bolt of thunder tore open the calamity cloud and struck down.
"You're just tickling me! Come again!" Qin Ziling let the thunder hit him and laughed loudly.
"Boom!" Another thunder struck down.
The next day.
The entire island was almost razed to the ground, no, to be precise, there were many big holes.
In a large pit hundreds of meters deep, there was a man holding a big knife, kneeling on one knee, his hair disheveled, holding himself up to prevent himself from falling to the ground.
There were wounds all over his body, and there were electric sparks crackling on the wounds, exuding bursts of meaty smell.
His breath was weak, but a pure, new and powerful force was rising in his body.
Dantian, it should be said to be the Immortal Mansion, with seven immortal infants sitting cross-legged.
Five of them are surrounded by rays of light, and two fairy infants sit in the middle, one as white as snow and the other as black as carbon.
The seven fairy infants looked extremely weak at this time, as if they were extremely malnourished, but they each breathed in and out, and the breaths intersected in the fairy mansion, forming a mysterious endless cycle, giving people a sense of energy even without any external energy. Come in, these seven immortal infants can also be immortal, and can even grow slowly.
"The Yin and Yang and the Five Elements are so mysterious!" Qin Ziling felt the changes in the Immortal Mansion, and a hint of enlightenment emerged in his heart. Many of the mysteries of Yin and Yang, life and death, and the Five Elements that he had not understood before, suddenly became clear to him at this moment.
Heavenly calamity.
It was a disaster, but it was also a great opportunity to understand the mysteries of heaven and earth.
After passing through, not only does the strength greatly increase, but the understanding of the great ways of heaven and earth becomes deeper.
As for Qin Ziling, because he cultivated the Seven Immortal Infants of Yin Yang and Five Elements, and had a powerful soul that could keenly spy on the changes in the way of heaven, he still survived ninety-six heavenly tribulations, and could understand and spy on more mysteries of heaven and earth.
Therefore, as soon as he passed through the heavenly tribulation, Qin Ziling's insight into the way of heaven was far beyond that of other people who had passed through the fairy infant tribulation.
However, because Qin Ziling survived the ninety-six heavenly tribulations, he later relied heavily on the power of physical martial arts. Therefore, even though he had survived the ninety-sixth heavenly tribulation, which is equivalent to the true immortal tribulation, now when it comes to qi refining alone, he is actually worse than Without being a true immortal, only with the addition of physical martial arts can one be considered comparable to a true immortal.
Once the physical body also survives the catastrophe, it will be another story.
Time passes slowly.
As Qin Ziling continues to comprehend the mysteries of Yin and Yang, life and death, and the Five Elements, the injuries on his body are slowly healing, and even the broken meridians are now healing again, exuding new power.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
Qin Ziling actually relied on his understanding of Yin and Yang, life and death, and the true meaning of the five elements. After the catastrophe, he completely recovered like a phoenix reborn from the ashes.
It's just that the seven immortal infants in the Immortal Mansion are still weak, as if they are severely malnourished.
Qin Ziling, who had fully recovered from his injuries, did not leave the pit immediately. Instead, he raised a smile on his lips, then took out a dust-free elixir and threw it into his mouth.
This dust-free elixir was refined by the fire dragon with the energy of the blood unicorn demon. It is comparable to the immortal power that a mid-stage immortal infant earth immortal has spent his whole life cultivating through hard work.
There are twenty-five such dust-free elixirs in total.
A dust-free elixir enters the entrance and turns into billowing immortal power rushing down.
