On a vertical day, the early sun shone brightly in the east, its warm brilliance pierced the clouds and mist, and wisps of dense strands fell down, awakening the morning with hanging dewdrops.
The breeze blew slowly, setting off layers of waves on the sea surface. The crystal water droplets hit the rocks and scattered in the air and disappeared.
A snow-white cloud drifted slowly from the distant sky.
Above the clouds, a golden-haired monkey demon was crossing its legs with a leisurely look on its face, admiring the beautiful scenery in the morning.
The first wave of beast tide is basically coming to an end, and scattered groups of sea beasts are swimming in the sea.
In the Cangnan Sea, most of the islands have successfully survived, but there are also a small number of islands that have not been able to withstand the first wave of attacks from the sea monster tide. The islands have been destroyed and people have died, and they have turned into a deadly enemy.
There was no life on the entire island, the spiritual veins were destroyed, the spiritual machine was devoured, and it was a lifeless and tragic scene. He had seen the monkey demon more than once along the way.
In this regard, the monkey demon can only express its helplessness.
With limited abilities, he could only barely protect the people around him, and then he would have no time to care about him.
The world of spiritual practice itself is ruthless, and it is normal for everyone to just sweep the snow in front of their door.
Shaking his head and throwing away the disturbing thoughts, the monkey demon regained his mood and continued on his way towards Chiba Island.
Compared to the rush and urgency when we arrived, the return trip was much more leisurely.
At this time, ten days have passed since the monkey demon left Mingyan Island.
Without turning on the Youluo Yunzhou's [Transformation of Rainbow] function, the return time would be about half as long as the time it came, and it would take fifteen to twenty days to arrive.
When he first left Mingyan Island, he was hurrying to catch up with the monkey demon, worried about the coming of the second wave of beasts, and at the same time, he was ready to activate the rainbow and fly back to Peach Blossom Island at any time.
However, after driving for ten days, the road was calm and there was no sign of beasts coming. The monkey demon gradually became less hurried and became more leisurely and comfortable.
The previous activation of Huahong to support Mingyan Island caused a slight crack in Youluo Yunzhou's flight restriction.
This is inevitable damage after turning on the rainbow function.
Every time he touched this crack, he felt heartbroken.
It's more heartbreaking than losing five high-grade spiritual stones.
After all, Youluo Yunzhou, the best flying spiritual weapon, is really easy to use. It combines stealth and speed. It can be said to be both offensive and defensive. It is the best flying spiritual weapon.
Apart from the disadvantage that it cannot carry too many people, there are basically no disadvantages.
Therefore, Ye Jin has always been very satisfied with Youluo Yunzhou.
Now that there is a crack in Youluo Yunzhou, how can he not feel distressed for the monkey demon?
I can only hope that I can encounter high-level treasures of heaven and earth in the future, especially treasures that forge flying magic weapons, and repair and refine Youluo Yunzhou.
Another ten days passed like this.
The flight was uneventful. The first wave of beasts had passed, and the entire Cangnan Sea area fell into a brief calm.
Back on Peach Blossom Island, everything is business as usual.
That’s just the way it is.
There are so many coincidences, and a second wave of beasts breaks out as soon as they come back.
The preparations before leaving were just in case.
However, with Ye Jin's return, both Liu Rushi and Ye Lingyun in the late Zifu period subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
There is a feeling that the big stone in the heart has finally fallen to the ground.
When the backbone comes back, everyone will no longer be panicked and uneasy.
The little fox girl and the little ginseng spirit are seizing the time to practice, hoping to seize the time to improve a little bit before the second wave of beasts comes.
Even Xiao Shenjing, who is playful, lazy and active, is like this, so the others naturally practice harder.
Even after Ye Jin came back, he joined the ranks of the retreat army.
certainly.
Ye Jin's cultivation will definitely not improve significantly in a short time.
If you want to enter the middle stage of concentration, it is not a goal that can be achieved in a day or two or in a month or two.
Even with the earth demon bloodline of [Red-armed Fire Ape], it takes hundreds of years to enter the realm of concentration.
no way.
In terms of step-by-step meditation practice, demon cultivation is generally slower than human cultivation.
Therefore, if Ye Jin wants to quickly improve his level, he needs to start from other aspects.
For example, "Infernal Phoenix Peiyuan Gong"...
This dual cultivation technique has brought surprises to Ye Jin at critical moments more than once.
Ye Jin himself does not reject the method of dual cultivation. The harmony of yin and yang is the great way.
However, using the Dian Nuan Dao Feng Pei Yuan Gong to break through will often lead to an unstable foundation due to too rapid improvement.
The foundation here does not refer to the foundation of demon power.
"Die Nuan Tai Feng Pei Yuan Gong" is a heaven-level high-level skill after all, and it has nothing to say based on the foundation of demonic power.
The foundation here refers to the state of mind.
In fact, unstable mood is not unique to dual cultivation techniques. Those evil techniques and demon attacks also have similar shortcomings.
It is even more harmful than "Die Nuan Piao Feng Pei Yuan Gong".
Not only will there be demonic obstacles in the state of mind, but also the foundation of one's own magic power will be like floating pods, like foam in the water that will break at the touch of a touch.
small book booth
Therefore, Ye Jin will not refuse dual cultivation, but he will not become addicted to it and lose himself.
Everything needs to be done according to one's ability.
In addition to the double cultivation method "Dian Nuan Piao Feng Pei Yuan Gong", the rapid improvement of cultivation level also includes other methods.
For example, there are elixirs, treasures, heavenly materials, and earthly treasures that can speed up the progress of cultivation.
It would be great if there was another third-level [Obstacle Breaking Pill].
In this way, Ye Jin can even break through a small level in one day.
But then again, if he really had the third-level barrier-breaking pill, Ye Jin would not be willing to take it in the early stage of soul condensation.
No matter what, the benefits can be maximized only if the Soul Condensation mid-term breaks through to the late stage, or if the late stage breakthrough is completed and used again.
But this is just Ye Jin's fantasy.
The third-level barrier-breaking pill has never appeared even in the entire Cangnan Sea. Even in the nearby Coral Sea and the further Tianxiang Sea, I have never heard of it.
Maybe there would be one in the wider Canglan Sea, but Ye Jin would definitely have no chance to get it.
He had no choice but to hope that another golden-fingered Jamfo tree would appear.
Of course, the premise is that Ye Jin has enough energy to exchange.
In fact, in the world of Canglan cultivation, the only treasures of heaven and earth that can quickly improve one's cultivation level are not only barrier-breaking pills, but also some other elixirs and fruits that can also play a similar role, but they are not as counterproductive as barrier-breaking pills. It's just a quick day.
Ye Jin doesn't have these now.
Not to mention Ye Jin, even Chiba Island does not have similar natural resources.
Although there are no heavenly materials or earthly treasures such as barrier-breaking pills, there are still spiritual pills for third-level practitioners to take for cultivation.
For example, the third-level [Crimson Spirit Pill] is refined from the third-level elixir Jiangyun Ganoderma.
Its effect is similar to the Ling-Rong Dan and Ling-Yang Dan taken at the second level, which are panaceas used to improve the practitioner's skills.
When the spiritual elixir for improving cultivation reached the third level, the number began to change.
It began to decrease sharply. This is because the number of third-level elixirs is much smaller than that of first- and second-level low-level elixirs.
And the growth cycle is often more than a hundred years.
For example, the Jiangyun Ganoderma that is used to refine the Jiangling Pill takes a hundred and twenty years to mature.
A mature Jiangyun Ganoderma can be sold for a high price of 300,000 spiritual stones.
Compared with the third-level elixir [Blood Ming Orchid] that Ye Jin bought for 200,000 yuan at the Jiazi auction, he returned more than 100,000 yuan.
A strain of Jiangyun Ganoderma, if refined by an experienced third-level alchemist, can generally produce about thirty pills.
Alchemists with less experience will have a lower success rate of elixirs, maybe only twenty pills.
Therefore, the price of a scarlet spirit pill often fluctuates around 10,000 lower-grade spirit stones.
At such a price, even a veteran Zifu monk like Master Jingde would not be able to eat the Crimson Spirit Pill as a jelly bean.
The ten crimson elixirs in Ye Jin's hand were half sold and half given to Ye Jin by Master Jingde out of consideration for Ye Jin's outstanding performance during the beast tide.
The Crimson Spirit Pill targets different groups, and the degree of improvement in cultivation is also different.
For example, for human cultivation, due to the weak physical body, the absorption of the Crimson Spirit Pill is poor. One Crimson Spirit Pill can probably equal a year's worth of cultivation.
Demon cultivators are generally physically stronger than humans, so the effect of absorbing the Crimson Spirit Pill is better. One Crimson Spirit Pill can last for one and a half to two years.
However, the cultivation speed of demon cultivators is much slower than that of human cultivators. Calculating this, humans actually have the advantage in cultivation speed.
Ye Jin's physical strength is comparable to that of the late stage of Concentration, so his absorption effect on the Crimson Spirit Pill is naturally the best.
Swallowing one pill can save two years of hard work, and ten pills can save twenty years of hard work.
Twenty years may seem like a lot, but for a monster like the Akajiri Fire Monkey, which often takes hundreds of years to advance a small level, twenty years of hard training is nothing.
so.
The main purpose of Ye Jin's retreat this time was not to improve his cultivation.
The cultivation level must be improved.
Even if the speed is slow, this is no reason to slack off.
It's just that this retreat is secondary to improving cultivation. The main purpose is to practice the earthly evil technique [Mountain Carrying]!
Yes.
Practicing the art of carrying mountains is Ye Jin's main goal.
Not to mention getting started quickly, the higher the proficiency in the mountain-bearing technique, the greater the power Ye Jin can exert.
The power of a mountain of Meru, more than 300 billion tons, is impossible in the short term.
But if it can explode with a huge force in the face of battle, three hundred thousand kilograms will be a considerable improvement for Ye Jin's strength!
Just like the monkey demon, he transforms into the state of Yan Fu and is in a state of violent blood. One stick can easily hit the ground with great force.
When it was fighting with the White Jade Clam Beast, it was able to create a shallow pit in the White Jade Clam Shell with one stick. Of course, it had the power of [Demon Slaying] and the Three Elements Ruyi Stick played an indelible role.
However, the extreme gravity under the violent blood spell is also one of the important reasons for being able to break the white jade clam shell.
If Ye Jin had mastered Danshan at that time, he could suddenly burst out with tremendous power.
At that time, I am afraid that the stick could penetrate the white jade clam shell on the spot and blow up the white jade clam beast hiding behind the clam shell.
Therefore, practicing the earth-shaking technique [Carrying Mountains] and mastering and using the power of carrying mountains as early as possible is a powerful means to improve one's combat power in a short period of time.
It can make the monkey demon even more powerful before the next wave of beasts comes.
Therefore, Ye Jin's main purpose during this retreat was to practice Danshan.
Set a small goal first and master the huge power before the second wave of beasts comes!
In this way, Taohua Island, Chiba Island, including Puying Island and Gaogang Island here, all fell into a brief period of peace.
Everyone is seizing every minute and second to practice hard and improve every little bit they can.
Spring passes and autumn comes, and in the blink of an eye, six months flies by.
It's September, mid-autumn, and the air is crisp.
The fiery red sun is shining brightly, and the golden sunshine of autumn is shining down. It is not as hot as the summer sun, but it has the unique refreshing feeling of autumn.
The sun shines on the sea, reflecting golden spots, like a pair of huge golden scales, shining.
Peach Blossom Island, the hometown of the Wang family, and the underground spiritual cave.
In the secret room, a golden-haired ape sat quietly on the futon with his eyes closed and his legs crossed, like an old monk sitting still.
Between exhalations and inhalations, the breath is long and thick.
With the rhythm of breathing, if someone could see clearly the inner flesh and blood through the monkey demon's skin, they would be surprised to find that the blood in its body is steaming like boiling water.
The muscles squirmed as if there were countless voles scurrying around.
It makes people marvel.
suddenly!
The ape with his eyes closed suddenly opened his eyes, and two rays of light suddenly bloomed in his bright eyes, which were brilliant.
But he saw the monkey demon rising from the ground, his eyes were clear, the corners of his mouth curved, and his eyes were filled with joy.
"Finally I have mastered the art of carrying mountains."
Yes.
He spent six months in seclusion without sleep, practicing the mountain-carrying technique non-stop. He didn't even have time to eat or sleep. He spent all his time practicing the earth-shaking technique of carrying mountains.
But even so, six months and one hundred and eighty days, he can only scratch the surface of what he can do by calling the monkey demon.
It's not even a rough introduction, let alone an introduction.
It has to be said that [Danshan] is worthy of being one of the strongest magical powers among the seventy-two Earthly Evil Techniques.
A spell that can be called an immortal spell naturally has its extremely high difficulty and threshold to practice.
Being able to master the Mountain Carrying Technique within six months is already the result of the monkey demon's extraordinary talent and the blessing of his powerful soul.
If it were any other demon cultivator, it would be impossible to master the basics of Mountain Carrying Technique, which would only take three to five years.
Don't look at the monkey demon. He has only mastered the superficial skills of carrying mountains.
But just this superficial level of Mountain Carrying Technique is enough to explode with tremendous power!
It is enough for Ye Jin to explode with a force of 300,000 kilograms in the event of a battle!
A flash of light flashed in his eyes.
The monkey demon took his right hand from his ear, and an "embroidery needle" was pinched between his index finger and thumb.
This embroidery needle is the shrunken three-line Ruyi Stick, a low-grade magic weapon.
Holding the Xiuzhen Ruyi Stick, the monkey demon blew gently towards it.
The next second, the embroidery needle was wrapped with a layer of white light and turned into a long golden stick about ten feet long.
Holding a long stick in his hand, the monkey demon turned his eyes, suddenly exerted force, and slammed into the stone door of the secret room in front of him!
Just when the stick was about to touch the stone door——
The monkey demon took a deep breath, its demon power began to flow, chanted a mantra in its mouth, and shouted:
"Take the mountain!"
The moment the spell fell out of his mouth, a dazzling golden light burst out from the body of the Ruyi stick.
A mighty force explodes!
"boom!"
Just heard a loud noise.
This solid stone door, which was hard in texture and could withstand the siege of several third-level cultivators at least, was torn into pieces under this stick, turning into countless rubbles that flew into the sky, filling the sky with smoke and dust.
Such a big movement even alarmed Ye Lingyun, Liu Rushi and others who were in retreat around them.
"What's wrong!"
"Jin Lang, what happened?!"
Everyone ran out of the secret room and gathered in front of the Monkey Demon Cave, looking at the rubble on the ground with shock on their faces.
Seeing this, the monkey demon who was the culprit coughed slightly, put away the three-line Ruyi stick in embarrassment, and quickly regained his composure, and said calmly:
"Don't panic, I just wanted to try my magic."
Seeing that it was just a false alarm, Liu Rushi and others breathed a sigh of relief.
Only Ye Lingyun, the more powerful cultivator from Zi Mansion, looked thoughtfully at the stone gate that was broken into countless stones on the ground, and congratulated the monkey demon with deep meaning:
"It seems that fellow Daoist Shankui, your strength has improved a lot."
The monkey demon smiled calmly and replied in a riddle:
"It's just a little gain."
At this moment, a guard hurriedly came from a distance, shouting.
"Report!
"
"What's the matter?" the monkey demon asked.
The guard cupped his fists and saluted respectfully:
"Your Majesty! Master Jingde has sent a message, and he has asked your Majesty to go to Qianye Hall to speak."
Real person Jingde?
What is he doing with me now?
The monkey demon's heart moved, and he was a little confused.
"Does the real person's letter say what happened?"
The guard shook his head: "I didn't specify the details. I just said that there are distinguished guests coming, please come with me, sir."
Distinguished guests coming?
Could it be that the ancestor of Danjie from Jinyangmen or Shituo Island is here?
The monkey demon couldn't figure out the reason after thinking for a long time, so he simply didn't bother to guess. He would find out when the time comes.
Then he nodded slightly and ordered:
"Go down and tell the real person that I will be here in a minute."
"Here!"
The guards were ordered to respectfully retire.
On the other side, the monkey demon who finished the instructions said to Liu Rushi:
"In that case, please make arrangements and have someone repair the stone gate of the cave."
As he spoke, he pointed to the stone door that was shattered into rubble, with an embarrassed smile on his face.
Liu Jiahui had a heart full of kindness, and he bowed slightly, his chest was full and ready to come out, and he said softly:
"I'll do it right now."
The monkey demon nodded, looked at Ye Lingyun aside, and said politely:
"In this case, I have to trouble fellow Taoist Ye to help look after Peach Blossom Island."
"Fellow Taoist Shankui said something serious. I am very grateful that you can give up a precious land for me to practice. It is within my status to protect Taohua Island for you when you are away. I cannot be a Taoist friend." That’s what it says.”
Ye Lingyun also handed over politely.
The monkey demon laughed heartily when he heard this: "What Taoist Ye said is absolutely true, it's Shan who is obsessed with it, so Peach Blossom Island can be entrusted to Taoist Taoist."
After saying that, he was about to use Blood Shadow Escape to leave.
at this time.
"Brother Monkey! Wait a minute! Wait a minute!"
Xiao Shen Jing suddenly shouted loudly.
The monkey demon paused as it flew up, then raised its eyebrows and looked at the little ginseng spirit:
"What's wrong?"
Seeing the monkey demon's gaze, the little ginseng spirit blushed, and Bulingbuling's big eyes looked at the monkey demon eagerly:
"Brother Monkey, I want to go too... I haven't been out for a long time."
After saying that, his big eyes were filled with tears and his face looked aggrieved.
Seeing the pitiful look on the little ginseng spirit's face, the monkey demon suddenly felt dumbfounded. Liu Rushi and others on the side also had smiles in their eyes.
He shook his head and said helplessly:
"Okay, seeing that you have been practicing quite hard during this period, I will take you with me. Don't cause trouble later. Do you hear me? Otherwise, you will not be allowed to leave Peach Blossom Island for ten years!"
"Great!"
The little ginseng spirit was so happy that she jumped three feet high, hurriedly patted her little chest and promised:
"Don't worry, Brother Monkey! I will never cause trouble!"
"I'll trust you for once."
The monkey demon glared at the little ginseng spirit angrily, put it on his shoulder, and nodded slightly to Liu Rushi, Ye Lingyun and others to say goodbye.
Then, he used Blood Shadow Escape, and a ball of blood mist condensed from the monkey demon's feet.
The next second.
The monkey demon rose into the sky and galloped towards Qianye Island.
The little ginseng spirit sitting on the shoulder of the monkey demon just grabbed the monkey hair, and shouted with excitement on his face:
"Oooh! Take off!
"
Six months of solitary confinement has suffocated this little guy.
