Chapter 247 Yuqing Sea
The darkness before dawn gradually faded, and a ray of light appeared between the sea and the sky, like a lit torch, burning the deep blue sea water and gray clouds.
Gradually, the entire eastern sky was burning red. This was the dawn. The sun slowly rose from the sea, and the sea and the sky suddenly became bright and brilliant.
The sun shone on a small island. This was a quiet island, only a few miles in size. There was a small stone house on the shore. A monk stood in front of the stone house, looking at the rising sun in the sky, with a leisurely look.
This man was tall, dressed in a white shirt, with fair skin and sword-like eyebrows. His appearance was not very handsome, but he was quite attractive. His eyes were bright and energetic, and his temperament was free and easy. He was Chen Yuan who was teleported from Donghuazhou.
He stayed on this island for a year and experienced dozens of starlight infusions. All the lost blood and essence in his body were restored, and he got rid of the appearance of a skeleton evil ghost.
During this year, his cultivation level was damaged due to the loss of blood essence and his foundation, and his progress was extremely slow, but his body was continuously infused with starlight, and he was only one step away from breaking through the bottleneck and being comparable to a level 5 demon beast.
This is the horror of the Zhoutian star power. Chen Yuan obviously had serious blood essence loss, but he was still able to strengthen his body. Even the thousand-year-old spiritual grass did not have this effect.
It’s just that the Zhoutian star power cannot improve cultivation. After a year, Chen Yuan still stayed at the beginning of the late stage of foundation building.
So he didn’t plan to stay on this deserted island any longer. He had to improve his cultivation and strengthen his body in order to refine the true spirit blood contained in the white ape demon pill and impact the pill formation.
And all this requires spiritual veins and pills, so this is not a place to stay for a long time.
Chen Yuan stroked his storage bag, took out a bright yellow flying boat, rose into the sky, and flew to the west.
The place he was going to next was called Wentian Island.
Chen Yuan had to thank Master Qingyou for his memory, so that he didn’t have to be in the dark.
Jiuxianzhou is vast, with a radius of millions of miles, far larger than Donghuazhou. Even a Yuanying cultivator would find it difficult to travel the entire continent.
To the east of Jiuxianzhou, there is a Yuqing Sea, which is the sea area where Chen Yuan is located. It is also vast and boundless, with a radius of hundreds of thousands of miles, abundant spiritual energy, scattered islands, and countless cultivators.
The Silent Sea borders the Yuqing Sea, with a radius of tens of thousands of miles, and is a restricted area for living creatures.
To the north and south of the Silent Sea, and to the further east, is the boundless Wan Yao Sea, where countless monsters live.
Originally, these monsters were entrenched in the Yuqing Sea, which was rich in spiritual energy. In ancient times, they were expelled by the sages of Jiuxianzhou.
The ancient sages founded a sect in Yuqing Sea, which has been passed down to this day, and have been hunting monsters and expanding the sea.
Wentian Island is a large island in the east of Yuqing Sea. A thousand years ago, it was the sect headquarters of Wentian Sect.
The Wentian Sect is a large sect with a long history. There are several Nascent Soul cultivators in the sect. In the past, there were even three great cultivators, and they were very famous in Yuqing Sea.
But more than a thousand years ago, the Wentian Sect was suddenly destroyed overnight. All the cultivators on Wentian Island died. Only two Nascent Soul cultivators who were not on the island at that time and some low-level cultivators survived.
True Man Qingyou was one of them. He happened to be out visiting friends at that time and escaped by luck.
After hearing the bad news, he was horrified and immediately returned to Wentian Island, took the Wentian Ding and fled.
There are only three large sects in Yuqing Sea. Even if the other two sects joined forces, it would be impossible to destroy the Wentian Sect overnight.
Those who can easily do this are either powerful and powerful cultivators or giant sects on Jiuxianzhou.
And no matter who it is, True Man Qingyou is definitely not a match.
He has no intention of revenge for the sect, he just wants to stay away from this place of right and wrong.
In the past, Wentian Sect was rampant in Yuqing Sea, and had many grudges with the other two sects. In addition, because of the competition for sea islands and cultivation resources, it destroyed many medium-sized sects and immortal cultivation families, and made countless enemies.
After the mysterious destruction of Wentian Sect, no one occupied Wentian Island. The other two major sects watched for a while, and then fought to seize Wentian Island and wiped out Wentian Sect monks.
Those monks who had grudges with Wentian Sect also took action to hunt down the remaining monks of Wentian Sect.
The two Yuanying monks were soon besieged to death, and the surviving Jindan monks could only hide and survive.
Qingyou Zhenren was also hunted down and had no choice but to enter the Silent Sea and escape to Donghuazhou through the ancient teleportation array.
Later, when he sneaked back to Yuqing Sea, Wentian Island still had not been determined. The other two major sects fought fiercely and fought to the death, and gradually stopped chasing Wentian Sect monks.
However, the medium-sized sects and immortal cultivation families that had been suppressed by the Wentian Sect were relentless and set traps in the secret caves of the Wentian Sect to kill the remaining cultivators of the Wentian Sect.
The strength of the medium-sized sects in Yuqinghai was comparable to the six sects in Qi State. The leaders were all Yuanying cultivators. It was easy to send several Jindan cultivators to set up an ambush.
Unfortunately, Master Qingyou stepped into the trap. With his powerful strength, he killed two people, escaped and returned to Donghuazhou.
However, his injuries were serious and difficult to treat. He did not succeed in risking the Yuanying stage. He died not long after, leaving only a wisp of soul, lingering in the soul-nourishing tree.
Master Qingyou did not know until his death what kind of powerful enemy the powerful Wentian Sect had provoked, and the entire sect was destroyed overnight.
Chen Yuan was not interested in exploring the whole story. Although he had gained the memory of Master Qingyou, he was not affected by this memory and was happy to see Wentian Sect buried in the dust of history.
He just wanted to use the large spiritual veins on Wentian Island to practice and attack the core formation.
When a monk forms an elixir, he needs to absorb the huge spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and he must have at least one small spiritual vein.
In addition, spiritual energy can also be absorbed through other methods, such as high-grade spiritual stones, miraculous elixirs, etc., but these are not something Chen Yuan can afford. The best way is to use spiritual veins to form elixirs.
In the Yuqing Sea, islands with a radius of less than 20 miles are micro islands, islands with a radius of less than 50 miles are small islands, islands with a radius of less than 100 miles are medium-sized islands, and islands with a radius of less than 200 miles are large islands.
The micro-islands are too small to carry spiritual veins. Only on larger islands can spiritual veins exist.
On most small islands, there will be a small spiritual vein, but there are also alchemy monks stationed there. Those islands with medium-sized spiritual veins are all occupied by medium-sized sects or immortal cultivating families.
If casual cultivators want to form elixirs, they can only join these forces, or go to Fangshi on a large island and rent a cave.
There are only three large islands in the Yuqing Sea, which are occupied by three large sects. The established market will rent out caves. Among them, the top-level caves have a spiritual energy concentration comparable to that of small spiritual veins, which can be used for casual cultivation and elixir formation.
This was the situation a thousand years ago. Now that Wentian Sect has been destroyed, there will definitely be changes. However, Wentian Island has not been destroyed, and the large spiritual veins on the island are still intact. No matter which large sect is occupied, They should continue to rent out caves.
Of course, if the rules on Wentian Island change, Chen Yuan can only go to the other two large islands.
…
Following the path remembered by Master Qingyou, Chen Yuan fled for more than ten days and arrived at a small island.
This island is called Fuyang Island. Thousands of years ago, there was a small sect, Fixing Sect, and a market on the island.
Yuqinghai is different from Donghua Continent. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth is rich and the difficulty of cultivation is greatly reduced. The islands are densely covered with countless casual cultivators. Almost every island with spiritual veins has a market.
It’s just that the markets on small islands are often very small and crude, and can only cover hundreds of miles of sea area.
There are only two streets in Fangshi on Fuyang Island, but they were built by cultivators after all. The shops on the streets are exquisite and elegant with carved beams and painted buildings, far better than the gardens and courtyards of wealthy people in the world.
Unlike Fangshi in Qi State, there are no formations outside Fuyang Island Fangshi. There are not only monks but also many mortals on the streets.
As soon as Chen Yuan left the light and walked into Fangshi, a mortal man in his thirties came up and bowed respectfully: "Master, do you need someone to lead you? I have lived on Fuyang Island since I was a child. I am very familiar with every store in Fang City, which can save you a lot of time and energy. You only need to give the villain a low-grade spiritual stone. "
Chen Yuan touched his storage bag, took out a low-grade spiritual stone, handed it to the mortal man, and said calmly: "Lead the way, I am going to the largest shop selling jade slips in Fang City."
The mortal man was overjoyed, took the spirit stone with both hands, bowed down, raised his hand and said, "Master, please come here..."
These mortals who lead the way for monks in the market are called hyacinths. They are not only widespread in the cities of Yuqinghai, but also very common in the cities of Jiuxianzhou. Some low-level monks will also be raped. Forced to take up this business.
Unlike Donghua Continent, Jiuxian Continent is full of spiritual energy, and the chance of mortals possessing spiritual roots is greatly increased. One in every hundred people will have spiritual roots.
For the Immortal Cultivating Sect in Donghua Continent, cultivation resources are already scarce. The gain of checking the spiritual roots of mortals outweighs the losses. There are only a few people with spiritual roots among ten thousand people, and most of them have low qualifications. Even if they are admitted into the sect, they are just a waste of resource.
For them, the best choice is to draw fresh blood from various cultivating families, and then recruit the true spiritual root monks who are practicing casual cultivation into their sect, while leaving the pseudo spiritual root monks to practice on their own.
The chances of mortals possessing spiritual roots on the Nine Immortals Continent are very high. Each sect will regularly check the qualifications of mortals. As long as they have spiritual roots, they will be accepted into the sect. Even monks with five spiritual roots will have the opportunity to practice.
Jiuxianzhou's spiritual energy is rich and the difficulty of cultivation is greatly reduced. Five Spiritual Root monks also have the opportunity to practice to the late stage of Qi refining, but the hope of foundation building is very low.
They can cultivate spiritual grass, and they can also protect mortals, help them resist natural disasters, and reduce mortal mortality.
For the sects of Jiuxianzhou, the more mortals they rule, the more seeds of immortality there are, and the more likely it is that geniuses will emerge.
Therefore, mortals are aware of the existence of immortal cultivators. Some things that immortal cultivators will not do due to their appearance will be left to mortals to do, such as Hyacinthus.
Most of the immortal cultivators in Qi State live in Fangshi and are very familiar with Fangshi. However, there are many casual cultivators in Jiuxianzhou, and most of them are immersed in hard cultivation. They rarely go to Fangshi and need someone to guide them.
Chen Yuan and the mortal man walked along. After asking a few questions on the way, they found out that the sect that now occupied Fuyang Island was called the Luoyang Sect, and that the Fingying Sect had been destroyed at some point.
The mortal man led Chen Yuan to a shop called "Wanjuanzhai" deep in Fang City, and waited outside the door to let Chen Yuan enter on his own.
According to Yu Qinghai's rules, mortals can only lead the way in the market and are not allowed to enter shops.
Chen Yuan stepped in. The environment of Wanjuan Studio was elegant, with jade slips, ancient books and other objects placed on the surrounding bookshelves.
A middle-aged monk stood with a smile. Next to him, a young monk was examining a jade slip with his spiritual consciousness.
Chen Yuan stood aside, waiting quietly. After a while, the young cultivator bought the jade slip and left the shop. The middle-aged cultivator came up to him.
This person had a strong aura, and he was a cultivator in the early stage of foundation building.
Chen Yuan took the initiative to show his aura. The cultivation of the late stage of foundation building made the middle-aged cultivator dare not neglect him. He bowed and said with a smile: "Welcome to my shop. I am Liu Fuzi, the master of Wanjuanzhai. What do you need?"
Chen Yuan returned the greeting and said: "I am Zhao Shan. I have been in seclusion for more than ten years. I just came out of seclusion a few days ago. I don’t know much about the outside world. I want to buy the jade slips of the past ten years."
The middle-aged cultivator smiled and said: "Wait a moment, fellow Taoist, I will go and get it."
He turned and walked to the back hall. Chen Yuan stood with his hands behind his back and waited quietly.
As the name suggests, the jade slips of the times are jade slips that record the current situation in the world of immortal cultivation.
Cultivators are just like mortals. As long as there is a business that can make money, someone will do it.
There are many independent cultivators in Yuqing Sea. These independent cultivators usually practice hard. After coming out of retreat, they need to understand the situation in the world of immortal cultivation, so the jade slips of the times came into being.
These jade slips record the changes in the situation in the world of immortal cultivation, such as the struggles between sects, the advancement of cultivators, the appearance of treasures, etc., so that independent cultivators can have a general understanding of the situation in the world of immortal cultivation.
The information in the jade slips of the times is relatively vague, and there are many things that are groundless, but it is the best way for independent cultivators to understand the world of immortal cultivation.
Chen Yuan does not know what the situation of Wentian Sect is now, so he cannot go there rashly. He needs to understand the situation clearly first.
After a while, Liu Fuzi took five jade slips and returned to the main hall.
"Does Brother Zhao need the jade slips of the times for a thousand miles, three thousand miles, five thousand miles, ten thousand miles, or the entire Yuqing Sea?"
Chen Yuan's face was delighted: "How many spirit stones are needed for the jade slips of the times for the entire Yuqing Sea?"
In the market of this small island, there are jade slips of the times for the entire Yuqing Sea, which surprised him a little.
"Five middle-grade spirit stones." Liu Fuzi replied.
Chen Yuan nodded, took out two middle-grade spirit stones, and handed them to Liu Fuzi: "No need to change."
Liu Fuzi was startled, then took the two middle-grade spirit stones, and said with a smile: "Fellow Daoist Zhao is generous."
These two middle-grade spirit stones are thunder-attribute spirit stones, one of which can be exchanged for three middle-grade spirit stones of the five elements. Chen Yuan took them out for a deal, and Liu Fuzi got a big advantage.
Chen Yuan took the jade slip, and his spiritual sense went in to investigate. After a moment, he withdrew his spiritual sense and bowed to say goodbye.
Thank you for the reward from Tiannu Four Gods Jue, Shenri Laozi, and I came to Daodaodao!
