"There are no mortals in the Monster Sea, but everyone who appears here is a monk."
"In this sea area, be sure not to fly too close to the sea, because some powerful monsters can tear you from the sky with just one opening of their mouths, and with one crunch, you will die without any trace of your body."
"Some monsters can leap hundreds of feet, and can even pull down monks who are flying through the clouds. They are simply causing disaster."
"The island is actually not very safe. You have to stay vigilant at all times, because some powerful monsters like to sneak onto the island to hunt human monks. If they are unfortunately blocked in the cave, it will be the end of the world."
"The most terrifying thing is the Demon King Killing the Island. There are some fierce guys who specifically target the islands where monks gather. Once it happens, it will be a tragedy. Unless there is Nascent Soul Lord sitting on the island, don't gather too many people."
"However, if we don't stick together, the risk will increase, which is very distressing."
Jin Abacus smiled bitterly and said, "Generally, monks who adventure in the monster sea will have some mental problems to some extent. For the sake of resources, they need to be frightened all day long, and they can't even sleep well."
"Is this as dangerous as the Monster Sea?" Hearing this, Yang Ji rolled his eyes slightly and couldn't help but think of his golden finger.
He then said, "If we can provide them with an island where they can sleep peacefully without fear of monster attacks, would they be willing to spend the monster companion grass in exchange for such an opportunity?"
"There are places like the ones you mentioned. They are the islands protected by Canglan Sect, Nanyuan Sect, and Changqing Sect. On each island, there is the Nascent Soul Lord sitting on the island, which can greatly protect everyone's safety."
"But the condition is that you need to hand over a demon companion grass to enter the island. Some monks had to pay for it for safety, and the three major sects also made a lot of money."
"Only the three major sects have the ability to do such a thing, because there are enough Nascent Soul Lords to take turns, while other forces and families, with only one ancestor, dare not take such a risk." Jin Abacus said.
Yang Ji secretly thought: "In this case, if I can provide a safe island with my golden finger's ability to seek good luck and avoid bad luck, wouldn't I be able to get a piece of the pie?"
But he knows that now is not the time. Firstly, his strength is too low, and secondly, he has no background, so he is guilty of harboring a treasure.
"Where are we going now?" Yang Ji asked after regaining consciousness.
"You can find an island to settle along the edge of this sea area. The edge is relatively safe. From now on, you will be responsible for refining alchemy, and I will be responsible for going out to find monks to trade."
"In addition, if you hold this jade talisman, through it, I can sense your location within a certain range."
Jin Abacus said, handing out a palm-sized jade talisman.
Yang Ji took it and nodded.
"Then I'll go!" With a smile, Jin Abacus soared into the sky, turned into a stream of light and shot into the clouds, flying towards the depths of the demonic sea.
After Yang Ji withdrew his gaze, he also left the ship and flew forward.
After flying for about ten miles, he saw some islands and reefs on the sea.
Like the Nansha Islands, some of the islands and reefs are very small, no more than a mile long, and the reefs are less than a foot above the sea. The waves come in and flood them, making them only suitable for footing but not inhabitable.
Some islands and reefs are slightly larger, dozens of miles long, and the rocks above the sea reach ten feet, which can be inhabited.
Unfortunately, there was no danger on all sides, the sea breeze was strong, and the conditions were poor.
However, Yang Ji still saw monks on such islands and reefs.
After flying for more than ten miles, there were more and more islands and reefs, large and small, and even a small island appeared. There were mountains across it, lush forests, good feng shui, and it looked like it was suitable for living.
Yang Ji took a look and immediately flew down to the pleasant island, thinking of finding a cave to settle down.
But just as he landed, a divine rainbow flew over, obviously noticing him flying down.
The person who came was a middle-aged monk at the tenth level of qi training. He had a Chinese character and an ordinary appearance. He said casually: "Fellow Taoist, do you want to stay here or live here?"
Yang Ji rolled his eyes slightly and said, "What's the difference?"
"If you want to stay, it can't last more than three days, and the cost is five hundred spirit stones. It's cheaper to live there, thirty thousand spirit stones a year." The middle-aged monk said.
Hearing this, Yang Ji couldn't help but frown slightly. He finally understood why some small islands and reefs were inhabited by monks. It turned out that there were people charging protection fees on these good islands.
Seeing Yang Ji's unwilling expression, the middle-aged monk's face immediately darkened and he said: "This is the territory of our Fengya Society. If fellow Taoists want to live here, they must abide by our rules. After all, one more person will attract the monsters." The risk to animals is higher, and you are protected by us when you live here."
"Farewell!" After Yang Ji finished speaking, he soared into the sky. Although he had a lot of spiritual stones on his body, he couldn't stand this faint feeling of intimidation.
Monster? He has a golden finger, but he is still afraid of the monster attack?
They flew more than ten miles all the way.
Every time an island falls, it falls, but the encounter is the same as before, the good islands are all occupied.
One of them was the most outrageous. He stood for less than thirty breaths before being forcibly taken thirty spiritual stones. It was simply a black man's nature.
If the person who came was not a master of foundation building, he really wanted to draw his sword and give him a blow.
Yang Ji was standing on the sea at this moment, feeling a little depressed, and murmured angrily: "Seven gangs and eighteen guilds? A group of forces that don't even have late-stage golden elixirs. Sooner or later, they will collect you all and let me look for the demon companion grass!"
Frowning, he flew away.
Because he can't afford to offend him now.
After wandering around, I found a small island and landed on it.
The island reef is only one mile long, but fortunately, the reef above the sea reaches more than 20 feet, just like a huge stone pillar standing in the sea, standing proudly despite the wind and rain.
Yang Ji flew over and struck a few swords. When the sword light passed by, a cave that could accommodate three people was carved out on the side near the top.
With stone walls as walls, stone roofs as eaves, and a large movable stone door, he has made his home in this monstrous sea.
One person occupies a stone pillar, and he is the owner of the island.
The accommodation has been arranged, and Yang Ji started wandering around the area when he had nothing to do.
As his eyes swept across, various information on the seabed continued to appear. After looking back and forth, he found that it was safe here.
At night, Jin Abacus also found him with a jade talisman in his hand. When he saw his residence, he laughed dumbly and dug out a stone house on the other side.
In the cave, Yang Ji looked at the three hundred-year-old demon grass brought back by Jin Abacus, and the depression of the day was finally gone.
"It's good to have a golden abacus to run around outside." Yang Ji thought to himself, and then started to make alchemy.
Two demon-accompanying grasses are refined into demon luring pills, and one demon-accompanying grass is refined into demon yuan elixir.
He practiced at night and gave the demon-inducing pill to Jin Abacus during the day, and Jin Abacus flew out happily.
Days like this repeat in a cycle, and half a year has passed in a flash.
Jin Abacus brought back more and more demon-companing grass, but every day he was carrying [stealing], [beautiful], [getting rich], [really my little fortune star] on his head.
Yang Ji knew that although this guy brought back some demon-companion grass every time, he probably kept a lot of it secretly.
However, he also has his own private collection of elixirs, and it is not up to him to decide how many elixirs to release.
The food given to Jin Abacus was just something he put out for him to see, to give him some sweetness and make him work better.
Yang Ji just turned a blind eye to Jin Abacus's complacency, and everyone was enjoying it.
He also enjoys such leisurely days. He is quite comfortable practicing and taking pictures while studying the way of swordsmanship.
Until a year later, one day when the sun was shining brightly, he received an uninvited guest next to his island pillar.
"The alchemist behind the golden abacus lives here?" In the air, a young man with extraordinary heroic spirit and handsome face pointed at the stone pillar and said in surprise.
"Yes, little master, that's right, Golden Abacus also lives here." Next to the young man, there was an old man with deep eyebrows, aura floating under his feet, and his own aura, he was actually a master of foundation building.
"I heard that his alchemy skills are very good. I would like to compare with him." The young man glanced at the demon-inducing pill in his hand and smiled proudly.
