Anyu Island, a large island located in the Fuhua Islands, is also the gathering place for scattered cultivators in the Fuhua Islands.
The independent cultivator force named Anyu Island is the dominant force here, and is guarded by three great cultivators.
As long as independent cultivators come here and give corresponding spirit stones, they can be protected in Anyu Island.
With the strength of the three great monks, it is no problem to protect some independent cultivators. There are no resources here that can attract the attention of super powers, so there is no need to worry about the coveting of those super powers.
On this day, a tall cultivator with a strange aura came to Anyu Island. He rented a cave according to the standard of the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.
The person who came was none other than the living dead Zhao Qingfeng. The 'Hidden Phoenix Jade Talisman' concealed his aura as a great cultivator and Li Shiming's Nascent Soul aura, revealing only the realm of the middle Nascent Soul stage.
Because the body of the living dead Zhao Qingfeng is extremely powerful, although it hides the aura of a great cultivator's body, ordinary cultivators will instinctively feel threatened when they approach him.
However, such cultivators are not uncommon. Almost all body-refining cultivators are like this. This is a manifestation of a strong physical body.
It can be said that the living dead Zhao Qingfeng at this time is a clone of Li Shiming, although this clone needs to be controlled indirectly, which is very inconvenient.
Li Shiming did not go directly to the cave, but wandered around Anyu Island.
This island is very large. In addition to a main peak, there are four secondary peaks. Between the five peaks is a flat valley, which is also a place for independent cultivators to exchange resources.
Of course, the main business here is still the trading of spirit beasts' demon cores. Many cultivators wandering here make a living by hunting spirit beasts.
With spirit beasts as the industrial chain, an industry of hunting, selling, processing, refining and alchemy has been formed on Anyu Island, becoming a source of resources for the cultivation of independent practitioners here.
Li Shiming walked on the street with great interest. There were stalls on both sides of the road. Most of the people here were monks who had hunted spiritual beasts but did not want to sell them to shops at a low price, so they put their harvests out for sale.
He walked through the areas of second- and third-grade spirit beasts and came to the area of fourth-grade spirit beasts. The owners of the stalls here were all Nascent Soul cultivators.
It was hard to imagine that the Nascent Soul cultivator who was called the ancestor in the Northern Shu Continent was setting up a stall on the street in the Zhongzhou Continent. This difference made him a little amazed.
Even in the great world of Dongqi, the status of Nascent Soul cultivators is extremely high.
Of course, the Nascent Soul cultivators here sell fourth-grade spiritual beast materials, which are incomparable to the Nascent Soul cultivators in the Northern Shu Continent.
Whether to stay in the Beishu Continent, which has a higher status but scarce resources, or to stay in the Zhongzhou Continent, which has abundant resources but a large number of Nascent Soul cultivators, depends on the cultivator's own luck and choice.
Luck refers to the Nascent Soul cultivators of Beishu Continent. Even if they want to leave, they cannot. They have no route away from Beishu Continent, and leaving Beishu Continent is almost a gamble of life and death.
The choice refers to the Nascent Soul cultivators of Zhongzhou Continent. They naturally know that if they stay in those remote continents, their status will be extremely high given their strength.
But how many true cultivators would give up a better training environment for the sake of status?
In the extremely desolate environment for cultivating immortals in the Northern Shu Continent, the end of one’s life is almost foreseeable. So what if one becomes an ancestor there?
"How much is this fourth-grade demon pill?" Li Shiming found a fourth-grade demon pill with a little dragon blood, he walked over and asked.
The one selling the fourth-grade demon pill was a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. He had a white beard and a weathered look on his face, but there was a shrewd gleam in his eyes.
"This is the demon pill of a fourth-grade dragon beast. Our team of cultivators set a trap, and it still took a lot of effort to capture it. If I sell it to the shop, they will only give me one fourth-grade elixir. I can't bear to sell it. If you want it, I will give you two fourth-grade elixirs!" The cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul expressed his request with a reluctant look on his face.
Li Shiming couldn't help but shook his head. He naturally knew that what this middle Nascent Soul cultivator said was not true.
Judging from the concentration of dragon blood contained in the fourth-grade demon pill, this fourth-grade spirit beast is a weak existence among the dragon beasts, and with a fourth-grade lower-level demon pill, this dragon beast is only at the fourth-grade lower-level strength.
It is estimated that if he encounters this middle-stage Nascent Soul cultivator in front of him, he can kill a fourth-grade lower-order dragon beast with one hand.
The cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul Sect said this just to ask for more. Opening two fourth-grade elixirs would be even more expensive.
You should know that even if you send the fourth-grade demon pill to the master alchemist, you still need to pay the alchemy fee to get two fourth-grade spiritual pills.
The level of the alchemy masters that a casual cultivator can hire will not be very high, and there is a certain probability that the alchemy will fail. In that case, not only will the cultivator lose all his money, but he will also have to pay for it.
"This fourth-grade elixir for this fourth-grade demon elixir. If you agree, then let's exchange it!" Li Shiming took out a fourth-grade elixir of the early Nascent Soul stage, displayed it in his hand and said.
He had quite a few of these rubbish elixirs, and he would gain some every time he killed a Nascent Soul cultivator.
The reason why it is called a rubbish elixir is that in the eyes of him, a top alchemy master, it is really no different from rubbish.
If he took this fourth-grade elixir, the impurities in it would affect his cultivation speed.
He normally took fourth-grade advanced elixirs, which were of the highest quality in alchemy theory. Their impurities were extremely few, which meant that he only needed to take them every two days.
The fourth-grade elixirs refined by other alchemy masters generally have a taking interval ranging from seven days to half a month.
"I like you, fellow Daoist. I'll change it!" The cultivator in the middle Nascent Soul stage said without hesitation, he took the fourth-grade elixir with a wave of his hand.
Li Shiming put away the fourth-grade demon pill, but he saw greed in the eyes of the mid-Nascent Soul cultivator.
A new face who can easily take out a fourth-grade elixir for trading, this kind of behavior will definitely be eye-catching among the casual cultivators.
If it weren't for the fact that Li Shiming's living dead Zhao Qingfeng showed a cultivation level of the middle Nascent Soul stage, and that this was not the area of Anyu Island, this middle Nascent Soul cultivator would have taken action long ago.
Robbery is one of the ways for casual cultivators to survive. Only by seizing limited resources can they stand out among countless casual cultivators.
Li Shiming glanced at the cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul indifferently. It was not that he looked down on him. Even if this body stood still in front of the cultivator and allowed the cultivator to attack him, the cultivator would not be able to hurt this body at all.
His contemptuous look made the middle-Nascent Soul cultivator feel angry.
The cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul had made a judgment on Li Shiming's identity. Li Shiming was a cultivator from a certain sect. Only a cultivator like this who had just come out of a sect would naturally have a condescending attitude.
The sect monks may not be able to sense their arrogance towards the independent cultivators, but the independent cultivators can clearly feel it.
Li Shiming ignored the mid-Nascent Soul cultivator and moved forward to check other stalls.
After that, he made two more attempts. It was not known whether it was because of his good luck or because there were a lot of spirit beasts being hunted here, but he received three fourth-grade demon pills of dragon bloodline in one shopping trip.
Although they are all fourth-grade demon pills of the lower fourth level, they are also good food for the Phantom Dragon.
It is mainly a fourth-grade demon pill that contains the dragon blood. In addition to being able to absorb the dragon blood, the Phantom Dragon can also absorb the energy from the fourth-grade demon pill to improve itself.
In the world of cultivating immortals, spirit beasts can grow by devouring each other's demon cores. As long as the spirit beasts have similar attributes, the enhancing effect of their demon cores will be better.
After the stall area is the shop area, which covers all aspects of the world of immortal cultivation.
Li Shiming walked and looked around. The largest shop here was run by Anyu Island himself. Unfortunately, his idea of buying the fourth-grade demon pill with dragon bloodline failed. The fourth-grade demon pills here would be sent for alchemy after purchase.
This is understandable. Only by refining the fourth-grade demon pill into a fourth-grade spiritual pill can the value be maximized.
Directly selling alchemy materials would be a loss for the shop.
Li Shiming flew to his cave with some disappointment. He spent a lot of money on it. The cave was a cave of the middle Nascent Soul stage.
It was located on a secondary peak, which was his deliberate choice. There were the caves of three great monks on the main peak, and he did not want to be too close to the three great monks.
With the magical power of "reaching in one fell swoop", he could easily escape three thousand miles before the great monk approached him, provided that he did not get too close to the great monk.
The cave is very simple, but it has all the functions.
The cave was of no use to him. Li Shiming's real body was practicing in the 'Heavenly Dao' hall in Zhai Ge's cave, while Zhai Ge's real body was held by the water thunder Yuanying, in the body of the living dead Zhao Qingfeng.
So wherever the living dead Zhao Qingfeng goes, that is where Li Shiming will leave Zhai Ge’s cave.
The mission of the living dead Zhao Qingfeng is to gather some intelligence, the most important of which is information about Yuqing Sect and Zhongzhou Trading Company, and also to collect resources for corpse refining and the resources needed by the Phantom Dragon.
He felt that he had come to the right place. This was indeed a good place. As long as he collected more fourth-grade demon pills with dragon blood, the speed at which the Phantom Dragon could be promoted to the intermediate level would be faster.
"Fellow Daoist Wang, are you selling your dragon bloodline fourth-grade demon pill?" Zhang Teng, a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul with a white beard, came to the stall where Li Shiming bought the second fourth-grade demon pill and asked the stall owner.
After Li Shiming traded the fourth-grade dragon bloodline demon pill from Zhang Teng, Zhang Teng set his sights on Li Shiming.
Zhang Teng was very familiar with the situation of selling fourth-grade spiritual beast materials here. He saw Li Shiming stop at Fellow Daoist Wang's place from afar, and guessed that Li Shiming had also traded away Fellow Daoist Wang's fourth-grade demon pill with dragon bloodline.
"Yes, it seems that yours has been sold as well!" Wang Daoyou replied with a smile.
Of course he was happy in his heart, exchanging a demon pill for a fourth-grade spiritual pill, this deal was extremely cost-effective.
Although sending the fourth-grade demon pill to the alchemy master might yield two fourth-grade elixirs, the cost of asking the alchemy master to make the pills was too high. Unless it was the fourth-grade elixir he needed, he would not directly ask the alchemy master to make the pills.
"Your dragon bloodline fourth-grade demon pill has also been bought? Mine has been bought too. It seems that the cultivator is collecting dragon bloodline fourth-grade demon pills!" Another fellow Daoist Wu, the stall owner who bought the third dragon bloodline fourth-grade demon pill that Li Shiming bought, came over and spoke up.
They were all smart people, and they could tell from the ease with which Li Shiming took out the fourth-grade elixir that Li Shiming came from an extraordinary background.
To be honest, if they were asked to face Li Shiming alone, they would not dare to do so.
A mid-Nascent Soul cultivator with an extraordinary background has a combat capability far higher than that of a mid-Nascent Soul cultivator among the casual cultivators.
But they alone have three Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivators here, plus their three Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivators' respective hunting teams, so their combat power is definitely sufficient.
The only question is whether the spiritual object on Li Shiming's body is worth the three hunting teams' joint efforts.
"Didn't you notice that the Taoist robe that monk is of upper fourth grade? Just that pair of boots is enough to be exchanged for a good magic weapon!" Daoist Fellow Wang said with a grin.
"The mustard seed ring on the monk's finger is a high-end product. And when he stretched out his hand, he revealed a bracelet, which should also be a magic weapon of extremely high quality!" Zhang Teng continued.
Their eyesight was very good, and what Fellow Daoist Wang saw was a set of robes on the living dead Zhao Qingfeng.
In fact, Li Shiming just randomly picked a set of robes and put them on. In his eyes, the upper level of the fourth rank and the lower level of the fourth rank were almost the same, both were useless garbage.
A set of robes was draped over the living dead Zhao Qingfeng, just for show.
The defensive power of the living dead Zhao Qingfeng's own body is countless times stronger than this set of robes. Even if it is a genuine fourth-grade upper-level defensive magic weapon, when it is controlled by a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, its defensive power is not as good as the defensive power of the living dead Zhao Qingfeng's body.
The bracelet that Zhang Teng mentioned is indeed a good thing, but if he knew what kind of magic weapon it was, he would probably immediately give up the idea of plotting against Li Shiming.
Because that bracelet is a ghost bracelet, and inside it is a fourth-grade intermediate ghost.
The chance of survival of a mid-Nascent Soul cultivator among the casual cultivators is extremely low when facing a mid-level fourth-grade ghost, and few casual cultivators possess magical weapons for spiritual defense.
After a brief discussion, the three ignorant middle-stage Nascent Soul cultivators figured out how to deal with Li Shiming.
They often use this method to deal with new and inexperienced monks like Li Shiming, and it works every time.
The living dead Zhao Qingfeng does not need to practice, he rents the cave just for other cultivators to see.
After staying in the cave for two days, he came out of the cave again and came to the street.
"You know, Duo Ersun came back from outside and said that he found a nest of dragon-blooded spirit beasts, which contained nearly a hundred dragon-blooded spirit beasts!" He heard a cultivator talking nearby.
"Duo'ersun has made a fortune this time. He is looking for a few large hunting teams and wants to sell the locations of the dragon-blooded beasts' nests. This harvest alone will allow him to live freely for a while!" Another cultivator who also knew something went on.
Li Shiming's heart moved slightly. He was naturally very interested in the nest of this dragon-blooded spirit beast. As for the fact that there were nearly a hundred of them, it might be a trouble for other hunting teams, but for him, it was good news.
