"But this is only limited to the competition to determine the top 16. After the top 16 are determined, the fairy fruit will enter the next stage of competition. The specific competition method is different every time, and it is not necessarily an arena competition. model.
However, our goal is the red mulberry fairy fruit. After successfully entering the top sixteen, it doesn't matter whether we want to continue to win the ranking.
In addition, since the competition to determine the top sixteen adopts a single-round victory and elimination system, as long as you lose once, you will be completely disqualified. Therefore, in every Fairy Fruit Conference, each island will recruit powerful casual cultivators to ensure that every game There are good candidates for each game, Xiying continued.
"What do you need me to do..." Yuan Ming asked.
"I have made arrangements in advance. At that time, we will represent a second-class island called Hongzhi Island to participate in the conference. With the strength of you and me, it is not difficult to win the championship, let alone just sneak into the top sixteen. After obtaining the trading qualification, Xiying said confidently.
Yuan Ming heard that she had made all the arrangements, so he said no more and briefly talked about the situation of Baidanfang. Yes, the profits from making incense are even attractive to the monks in the alchemy stage of Changchun Temple. They can be used to improve Baidanfang. Fame is not wrong! "
When Xiying learned that Yuan Ming was going to show off his incense-making skills, he nodded in agreement.
Yuan Ming felt the same but was suddenly startled, "How did you know about this?" Yuan Ming asked in surprise.
"Hmph~ Of course I have my own intelligence channels. Speaking of which, you seemed to have used one of the three Qingling transmission notes I gave you before. Although I had a sense at that time, I couldn't hear you clearly because of the distance. If you say that, count the time... It seems to be when you were in Leizhou, so what did you want to say at that time? Xiying thought for a while and asked. "
Yuan Ming recalled the scene at that time, with a hint of embarrassment on his face... He was too embarrassed to express what he was thinking at the time, so he just said with a smile: "I met Cang Qiong's disciple at that time, and I wanted to ask you if you have any way to break the illusion. It’s nothing.”
Xi Ying looked at Yuan Ming suspiciously, but fortunately, Yan Siyun's voice suddenly came, "Fellow Daoist Yuan, Fellow Daoist Xi, is it convenient for me to go in now?
Xiying glanced at Yuan Ming, and seeing him nodding, she opened the door again with a wave of her hand. Yan Siyun noticed this scene with her spiritual consciousness, and walked into the room, bowing to Yuan Ming and Xiying.
I'm sorry to bother you... My sister just told me that Yuan Daoyou has a clever plan to attract business. I'm anxious to ask in detail. Please forgive me, Yan Siyun said slowly.
"It doesn't matter, we just happened to talk about this matter. I have told your sister the general situation. If you have any questions, you can ask fellow Taoist Yan directly!"
Yuan Ming raised his hand and motioned for Yan Siyun to sit down. Yan Siyun nodded and sat down, then asked directly: "I wonder if the threshold for making spiritual incense mentioned by fellow Taoist Yuan is high, how much is the required spiritual material worth, and how much can the price be set? , how is its effectiveness different from that of elixirs?" It is not difficult to make spiritual incense, and the threshold is much lower than that of alchemy. In terms of the spiritual materials used... Yuan Ming kept talking, he had done these things before Having had practical experience, he was no stranger to it. None of the people present were outsiders, and they were not self-respecting, so they directly explained all the incense-making techniques they had mastered.
Yan Siyun listened silently, weighing the pros and cons of selling spiritual incense in her heart.
On the other side, Xiying yawned out of boredom, and then began to practice silently, showing no interest in what Yuan Ming said.
Yuan Ming and Yan Siyun discussed for a long time and finally finalized the details of selling spiritual incense. In the past few days, please arrange the manpower and prepare the required spiritual materials. When Xiying and I come back from the Fairy Fruit Club, I will take some time to personally Teach them how to make incense.
Start with the spirit incense from the Qi refining stage, it won’t take long to master, Yuan Ming said.
However, Yan Siyun was a little surprised when she heard this: "Are Fellow Daoist Yuan and Fellow Daoist Xi also going to participate in the Immortal Fruit Competition?" "Yes?" Fellow Daoist Yan, what do you mean, do you want to participate in the Fairy Fruit Competition? "Yuan Ming said doubtfully.
Fellow Daoist Yuan misunderstood. During the Immortal Fruit Fair, all the major islands gathered together. Fuso Island is a grand event that only happens once in three hundred years. In addition to competitions, there will also be activities such as auctions. I brought my little sister and Fang Zhong While some people went to purchase spiritual materials, they also spread the reputation of Baidanfang. If they could take the opportunity to negotiate some business with other islands, that would be great! "Yan Siyun explained. "So that's it, let's put the matter of the spirit incense aside for now... You also go and make preparations. Then we will set off together, and the road will be safer, Yuan Ming nodded.
As he said that, he glanced at Xiying and wanted to ask her opinion. Xiying noticed that his eyes had come back to his senses and listened to Yuan Ming explain the matter again. He waved his hand casually, that's fine. Anyway, Hongzhi Island was already there. It’s agreed, it doesn’t matter if we go a few days later!
A few days later, thick gray clouds covered the sea, and rain fell like a curtain, covering everything in the world. Big raindrops hit the sea. Before they hit the ground, they were swallowed up by the waves. The strong wind roared and rolled up dozens of feet. The high and huge waves rushed straight into the sky, so majestic that they seemed to tear the clouds apart.
And among the dark clouds, a bright white boat slowly passed through. Whether it was heavy rain or strong wind, before it touched the boat, it was separated by an invisible force and could not be contaminated at all.
On the bow of the boat, Yuan Ming stood alone, his eyes scanning the surrounding scenery, and suddenly he raised his head to look at the horizon, his eyes fixedly lost in thought.
"What are you looking at?" Suddenly Xiying came up from behind him and asked casually!
"Looking at the scenery, Yuan Ming came back to his senses and smiled.
Xiying walked up to him and looked at him, a little speechless: "What's so interesting about the storm?
The storms and waves in the depths of the East China Sea are much more violent than I imagined. Does this kind of scene often happen in the East China Sea? Yuan Ming asked.
It's not common, but it's not unusual either. Fuso Island is still in the inland sea, and the stormy scenes in the outer sea deep in the East China Sea are much more severe than this.
Xiying shook his head, Neihai? The open sea?
Yuan Ming was startled. This term did not appear on the jade slips given to him by Yan Siyun. "The area with thousands of third-class islands, hundreds of second-class islands, and twelve islands in the East China Sea is close to the land and has a relatively peaceful environment. It is called Inland sea.
"The sea area outside the inner sea is called the outer sea. The division of the inner sea into the outer sea is made by the demon hunting monks of the East China Sea without permission. It rarely appears in the classics. Yan Siyun has only been in the East China Sea for a short time, so it is normal not to know..." Xiying said.
"Have you been to the outer sea?" Yuan Ming asked.
"I went there once before with the seniors in the clan!" Xiying looked into the distance.
"What's the situation outside the sea?" Yuan Ming asked curiously.
"The environment there is much worse than that of the inland sea. Huge waves, violent winds and thunderstorms are commonplace, as well as several more dangerous natural disasters such as seas of fog and singing monsters.
However, the spiritual materials in the sea are better than those in the inland sea, especially there are many monsters, and third-level to fourth-level monsters are everywhere. If the monks in the Danjie stage do not form groups, or are led by Yuanying stage monks, they will not be able to do anything in the open sea. Get a foothold! "Xi Ying talked eloquently.
After hearing this, Yuan Ming couldn't help but become interested in the open sea. Even level four monsters often appear in the sea area. I really don't know what it looks like! "The outer sea is where all kinds of resources in the East China Sea are concentrated. When the Fairy Fruit Festival is over, you and I might as well go there to have a look and hunt monsters and accumulate some wealth.
"Don't look at the millions of spirit stones you have on your body. Almost all the demon-hunting monks who roamed the outer seas in those years have your worth," Xiying said again, eager to give it a try.
"Okay, Yuan Ming readily agreed. Without the strength of him and Xi Ying, there is no need to be afraid even if he encounters several level four monsters. He also has the treasure of Stealing Heaven Cauldron. If you can't defeat him, you can just hide in and avoid being seen by the monsters. You don’t have to worry about anything when you go to the Tiantian Cauldron, but you are more interested in the overseas world than the outer sea.
Xiying, is there an overseas world beyond the open sea? Yuan Ming asked.
Yes, Xiying nodded.
I heard Master Shura say that the overseas world is not only dangerous, but also has strange treasures that are not found in Yunhuang Continent.
Are there any monks exploring the overseas world here in the East China Sea? Yuan Ming asked.
"Of course there is!" Xiying said.
"Really?" Yuan Ming was surprised.
"This group of people is called Tide Makers, and they are very rare. As far as I know, there are only about ten people, and most of them are loners. Each Tide Maker has amazing strength, and the first-class island forces in the East China Sea are not willing to provoke them at will. ," Xiying said with a solemn expression: He is also quite wary of those who make waves.
"Trendmaker? This title is quite novel!" Yuan Ming said.
"The title of Tide Makers originated from a legendary alliance in the East China Sea thousands of years ago. The Tide Makers Alliance was composed of a group of monks who had the courage to explore the overseas world. They had gone deep into the overseas world several times and harvested many overseas rare treasures. They were in full prosperity During this period, the Nongchao San Alliance was very powerful, with as many as five or six Nascent Soul Stage monks alone," Xiying said.
"With five or six Nascent Soul cultivators, the strength of the Chaoshan Alliance is almost comparable to that of a major cultivating sect!" Yuan Ming said in surprise.
"Yes, at that time, even Fuso Island was a bit afraid of the Tides and the Alliance, and deliberately tried to win over them so that they could buy some treasures from the overseas world. However, if you often walked along the river, you would inevitably get your shoes wet, and the Tide would break up the Alliance. After the last trip to sea, there was no news and everything was destroyed. However, their deeds were passed down. Later, most of the monks who explored overseas called themselves tidemakers, Xi Yingdan said.
"That's it," Yuan Ming said.
"Although the Nongchao San Alliance was destroyed, it also triggered an upsurge of East China Sea monks to explore the overseas world. Before they appeared, the overseas world was a place of death for the East China Sea monks. No one dared to approach. The Nongchao San Alliance's The huge harvest stimulated some desperate monks in the East China Sea. Over the years, some tide-makers have appeared one after another, but they are only wandering around the edges of the overseas world. They cannot be compared with the tide-makers and Master Shura. Xiying said.
