"It's actually him?"
A look of surprise flashed in Ye Jin's eyes, as if she didn't expect to meet an acquaintance here.
I saw this last person, wearing a brown brocade robe, with a jade-like face, handsome and graceful appearance.
This person is no one else, he is actually a chatty man who once sat on a spiritual boat with us and had many ups and downs along the way - Lu Jingtian!
Ye Jin also didn't expect that he would see this person again.
Wait until Ye Jin arrives at Chiba Pier.
Kong Xin stood up and said: "All fellow Taoists have arrived, we will set off now."
The woman in red had been waiting impatiently for a long time. If Ye Jin was not a second-level practitioner and was not easy to talk to, she would have choked back a few words.
But even so, she still looked at Lu Jingtian with dissatisfaction, and asked in a sharp voice: "Why are there colleagues in the Qi refining stage? What if he causes trouble due to insufficient cultivation, do you still need us to wipe his ass?"
Among everyone present, only Lu Jingtian was a practitioner at the first and tenth level of Qi refining.
Although compared to more than three months ago, his cultivation level has improved by one level and he has reached the state of perfect Qi refining.
But this level of cultivation is still not enough among a group of second-level practitioners who have established a transparent foundation.
Lu Jingtian's face turned red, but he did not dare to express any disobedience. He was worried that the woman in red would kill him if she had a bad temper, and she would have no room to reason with him.
Finally, Kong Xin came forward and explained with a cheerful face:
"Little friend Lu is the formation master invited by me. Even though Xiaoyou Lu's cultivation level is not high, his talent for formation is outstanding, and he is not inferior to those second-level formation masters in the foundation building stage.
I have invited Xiaoyou Lu just to solve the formation restrictions in that ancient cave. Don’t worry, Xiaoyou Lu will not participate in any distribution of all the treasures we obtained in the cave. "
After hearing that Lu Jingtian was a second-level formation mage who was not weak at the Foundation Establishment stage, the woman in red's expression softened slightly, she let out a light "hum" and stopped talking.
As for the gentle middle-aged man, it might be because Kong Xin had greeted him in advance, but he didn't show any impatient expression on his face.
Ye Jin is naturally even more indifferent. Anyway, his first goal is the essence of Wutu, and his secondary goal is to collect those spiritual objects that can induce the reaction of the Jamfu Treasure Tree and refine Qi Silk. As for the others, whether it is multiple people, It doesn't matter if there are only a few people, it doesn't matter to him.
Seeing that everyone no longer had any objections, Kong Xin breathed a sigh of relief and quickly urged to get on the road.
Next to Chiba Pier, a spiritual boat about ten feet long with a two-story attic has been docked on the shore.
Kong Xin didn't buy this spiritual boat, and he couldn't afford it. Let alone hundreds of thousands of spiritual stones, he couldn't afford it.
This spiritual boat was rented by Kong Xin from Qianye Hall. The fee for renting was one hundred spiritual stones per day, with no upper limit.
Since Mingyan Island is far away from Chiba Island by sea, it is not within the distance that flying spiritual weapons can fly. Therefore, even if the rental price is not cheap, Kong Xin, as the initiator, had no choice but to bite the bullet and rent a spiritual boat.
In fact, Ye Jin can also drive the Youluo Yunzhou to Mingyan Island. In a sense, the Youluo Yunzhou is a miniature spiritual boat, but it does not have a defensive array to resist weather anomalies.
Speaking of the magic circle, Ye Jin couldn't help but glance at the reserved Lu Jingtian not far away.
This Lu Jingtian is a second-level formation mage. He may be able to carve a defensive formation on Youluo Yunzhou. In this way, Ye Jin will have a certain ability to travel long distances even if he does not take the spirit boat.
Ye Jin recognized Lu Jingtian, but Lu Jingtian did not recognize Ye Jin, an "old acquaintance."
Because Ye Jin transformed into Bai Erlang's wolf demon image, no one in the room, including Kong Xin and the middle-aged man who had the highest level of cultivation at the fifth level of foundation building, noticed the difference. Of course, only Lu Jingtian, who had perfected his Qi training, was even less likely to notice. .
The group of people boarded the spirit boat. There were not many rooms on the second floor. Kong Xin, the middle-aged man, the woman in red, and Ye Jin happened to occupy the only four rooms, so they had no choice but to live on the first floor with Lu Jingtian and the boatmen.
Regarding this, Lu Jingtian did not dare to show it even if he had opinions in his heart, and lived on the first floor honestly.
I don't know what benefit Kong Xin gave Lu Jingtian, so that Lu Jingtian could endure it and follow a group of second-level monks to explore an unknown ancient cave.
After all, he is also a second-level formation mage. If it were Ye Jin, he would definitely not be so arrogant.
After everyone got on the spirit ship, the spirit ship bound for Mingyan Island officially set sail.
Meiyan Island is located 80,000 nautical miles northeast of Chiba Island. It is not far or close to the island and has to pass through several islands on the way.
However, since this spiritual ship was rented by Kong Xin, it does not need to dock at the islands and can rush all the way to Mingyan Island.
As for the head of the Zhao family, who had explored the ancient cave with Kong Xin, he had naturally been waiting for everyone's arrival at Mingyan Island.
Sitting cross-legged on the futon in the room, Ye Jin took advantage of this time to hone the second frightening thorn as soon as possible.
After all, no one knows what will be in that ancient cultivator cave. At the same time, no one knows whether these cooperative casual cultivators will turn against each other because of their interests.
Although Ye Jin is not afraid of any of them, it is still impossible to defeat many with one.
If the second frightening thorn is refined as soon as possible, Ye Jin will have more ways to kill the enemy.
The entire journey was silent.
This sea voyage was much calmer than when Ye Jin went from Bihan Island to Chiba Island.
Except for the occasional extreme weather, even sea beasts have not been seen much.
As for these weather anomalies, of course, they were able to get by with the cooperation of the experienced boatmen.
By the time the spirit boat arrived at Famous Word Island, ten days had passed.
Ye Jin also refined the outline of his second Frightening Thorn, and it is estimated that he will be able to refine it in another two months.
Compared with the first frightening thorn, Ye Jin became much more efficient after becoming proficient in the technique.
"Hahaha, Fellow Daoist Kong, you are finally here."
At Mingyan Island Pier, a middle-aged man who looked to be in his early forties but had oily hair and pink face laughed loudly.
Even without Kong Xin's introduction, Ye Jin had just discovered that this person should be the head of the Zhao family in his mouth.
I secretly used the Zhanzhan Qi Technique to take a look, and sure enough I found that this person's spirit group was still a bit insubstantial. It was obvious that he had just broken through the foundation building stage.
Before the boat stopped, Kong Xin also laughed and said with a smile on his face:
"Fellow Daoist Zhao, Kong is lucky enough to live up to his command and invite all his colleagues to accompany him."
"Okay, okay, with all of you colleagues, it seems that we will have a great harvest on this trip."
The head of the Zhao family laughed loudly, and after finishing his words, he suddenly changed the subject and said:
"Fellow Daoist Kong, I have also invited a close friend to accompany me. You won't object, Friend Kong, right?"
It was only then that everyone discovered that there was a young man standing behind the head of the Zhao family.
This person was wearing a snow-white robe, with a golden sun embroidered on one corner of the robe, and a soft streak of auspicious clouds on the edge of the robe.
The key is this person's cultivation. He has eight levels of foundation building and is truly a late-stage foundation building monk.
The young man stood behind the head of the Zhao family with an arrogant expression, and showed no expression when he saw everyone watching.
The head of the Zhao family did not explain when he met, but introduced:
"This is Li Changhai, an elite disciple of the Jinyang Sect. Fellow Daoist Li has been practicing Taoism for less than fifty years and has already reached the eighth level of foundation building. His talent is amazing. Breaking through the Purple Mansion is just around the corner!"
When they heard that they were true disciples of the Jinyang Sect, a powerful force in forming pills, the woman in red and the middle-aged man, who had somewhat unsightly expressions, quickly put away their expressions.
Disciples of such powerful forces are far beyond the reach of casual cultivators like them who are struggling to survive at the bottom.
The head of the Zhao family continued to introduce: "Yesterday, Fellow Daoist Li passed by Mingyan Island and heard that there is an ancient cave here. He is very happy to go there with me. Don't worry, although Fellow Daoist Li comes from a famous family, he is friendly and very easy to get along with. "
Upon hearing this, the cultivators glanced at Li Changhai, who looked arrogant and nodded slightly. The corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch, but he still had to apologize twice.
Behind everyone, Ye Jin noticed that when Kong Xin saw Li Changhai, a dark look flashed in his eyes, but soon a smile appeared on his face:
"If we can get help from the Jinyang Sect's senior disciples on this trip, we can easily capture this ancient cave."
He is a person who likes to hear nice words. Even though Li Changhai looked down on all the casual cultivators present, he still put away his arrogance and responded with a softened smile.
Since it was already getting late, the head of the Zhao family, Zhao Yongming, suggested that they go explore the ancient cave together tomorrow.
Li Changhai had no objections, and other casual cultivators certainly had no objections.
Early the next morning, everyone arrived.
"The Ancient Xiu Cave Mansion is located in a place called Wuya Valley on Mingyan Island, not far from here." Zhao Yongming introduced.
Since Li Changhai of Jinyang Clan joined the team, Kong Xin seemed to have lost his dominance and became somewhat taciturn. The head of the Zhao family took over his position.
"Let's go quickly."
At the front of the team, Li Changhai nodded slightly without comment and said with a slight urging.
"What Fellow Daoist Li said is, I'll leave soon."
Zhao Yongming apologized and smiled. He had just established his foundation. Among the monks, he was only a little higher than Lu Jingtian, a second-level formation mage. If it weren't for his familiarity with Li Changhai, he wouldn't have had his turn. Take the lead.
Everyone used flying magic weapons and arrived at the edge of Wuya Valley an hour later.
A blood-colored wall stood in front of them. The blood miasma was so thick that it rippled endlessly like water.
This blood miasma didn't exist originally. It was created after Kong Xin and the others explored the ancient cave and triggered the forbidden passive.
Standing in front of the blood miasma, Ye Jin immediately smelled a pungent smell of blood, and felt faintly dizzy. This showed how toxic the blood miasma was, and he hurriedly activated his spiritual power to isolate the blood miasma outside his body.
Just as toxic as it is, it is the biting chill that pervades the blood miasma.
Lu Jingtian, who had the lowest level of cultivation, was so cold that his expression almost matched that of Kong Xin. He crossed his arms and hugged each other tightly, shivering.
"Fellow Taoists, this blood miasma is a type of miasma. Although it does not cause much harm to us, in order to preserve your combat power, you should be more careful."
"Fellow Taoists, you can take out your protective weapons now."
Ye Jin heard this and took out a jade pendant from his storage bag.
Long before exploring this ancient cave, Kong Xin introduced the situation here in advance.
Of course, the existence of blood miasma was also mentioned.
So long before the exploration, Ye Jin purchased this magical weapon from Tianyuanfang that was specifically lower than the blood miasma.
Once activated by the demonic power, the Qingyang Demonic Fire in the jade pendant surged out from the jade pendant, and soon formed a cyan demonic fire barrier on his body.
Just hearing a hissing sound, the blood miasma was burned by the demonic fire, and the chill on his body suddenly disappeared.
It is obviously a kind of demonic fire, but it contains a kind of yang and strong aura, which is amazing.
Others also used their own methods.
The woman in red offered a piece of red cloth, and red light surged around her body.
Lu Jingtian also used a magic weapon to seal the Qingyang Demonic Fire, but the quality was worse than Qin Sang's jade pendant.
The most peculiar thing was Kong Xin, who held a pill the size of a dragon's eye in his palm. The pill was red in color, and there was a raging fire burning on it, as if it would never go out.
Everyone was shocked by Chi Dan.
This red pill looks too much like a demon pill!
Only the demon king in the elixir formation stage can give birth to demon elixirs, which are equivalent to the golden elixirs of human monks in the elixir formation stage. Kong Xin's use of demon elixirs to resist the blood miasma would be a waste of natural resources and too courageous.
However, everyone soon discovered that something was wrong. The red pill did not have the pressure of the legendary demon pill, it was just an appearance.
"Haha, it turns out to be the inner elixir of the Tian Yan Jiao..."
Of all the people present, only Li Changhai recognized the true origin of Chi Dan at a glance. Under the curious eyes of everyone, he explained:
"The Tianyan Jiao is not a real Jiao, but a strange sea beast that looks like a Jiao but not a Jiao."
"This sea beast has two wings on its ribs, which is somewhat similar to the legendary mythical beast Yinglong. However, it does not have the blood of a dragon and only has the shape of a dragon. The biggest feature of the Tianyan Jiao is that it can give birth even before the demon elixir stage. Dan.
Of course, Tianyan Jiao's inner elixir and demon elixir are not the same thing.
The inner elixir contains the power of fire that Tianyan Jiao has absorbed from the outside world throughout his life, and is condensed into elixir. This power of fire is transformed in the inner elixir, which is helpful for the cultivation of Tianyan Jiao.
When the Tianyan Jiao enters the elixir-forming stage, during the breakthrough process, the inner elixir will be replaced by the demon elixir, and will be abandoned by the Tianyan Jiao together with the snake slough.
At this time, the power of the flames inside can stabilize and exist without the Sky Flame Jiao.
The inner elixir of the Tian Yan Jiao is not common. Although most of the fire power in the inner elixir was swallowed up by the demon pill, it mutated due to the breakthrough of the Tian Yan Jiao, giving birth to a strange demon fire, which is similar to the demon elixir phase of the Tian Yan Jiao. Demonic fire has different approaches but the same effect.
The inner elixir can restrain blood miasma, so it is perfect for Daoist Sun to use the inner elixir of the Tianyan Jiao here. "
Everyone suddenly realized.
Kong Xin showed admiration on his face and bowed his hand to Li Changhai.
"After I got the Red Pill, I spent a lot of effort to find out the origin of the Red Pill. I didn't expect that a Taoist friend revealed it.
Daoyou Li is indeed from a famous family and has extensive knowledge, which I admire. "
Not to mention, it was the first time Ye Jin saw this strange treasure, and his eyes were curious, but his first reaction was to see if the Jamfu Treasure Tree had any ideas.
Sadly not.
