Chapter 221 [(*^▽^*)]

Ming Fanxing looked in shock at the farthest island in the sea, the fingernail-sized island in the southeast corner of the Hangu Continent

.

He withdrew his consciousness and looked at Senior Brother Zhou in disbelief, "Senior Brother Zhou, could this Shenwu Island be the Shenwu Continent where we are?!"

Ming Yufeng also withdrew his consciousness at this time, looking at the jade slip in his hand with an unclear expression.

Senior Brother Zhou sighed deeply.

"Yes, this Shenwu Island is the Shenwu Continent where we are now."

"The Hangu Continent is the real place for cultivation. Shenwu Island is not only an island, but also a relatively small island around the continent."

Ming Fanxing took a deep breath. Although he had been prepared, he was still a little shocked when he really saw this scene.

"Brother Zhou, tell me everything else."

Brother Zhou nodded slowly.

"Because Shenwu Island is very far away from Hangu Continent, and there are countless powerful monsters hidden in the sea, so no cultivator can fly across the sea and reach Hangu Continent."

"It's impossible for cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage, and the Dean and Uncle Master in the Golden Core Stage can't do it either, so we can only rely on the only long-distance teleportation array on Shenwu Island to teleport people to Hangu Continent!"

Ming Fanxing became interested, "May I ask about this teleportation array..."

Senior Brother Zhou explained, "The biggest problem lies in this teleportation array, because it consumes a lot of spirit stones every time it is opened, and the number of people who can be teleported at one time is also very limited."

"As a result, each time the teleportation array is opened, the spiritual stones required are all contributed by the Three Kingdoms and the Alchemist Association , so each time it is opened, it can teleport 100 people, of which the three countries together occupy 80, and the Alchemist Association occupies 10." "And the remaining 10 places are auctioned to make up for some of the spiritual stones needed to open the teleportation array." Ming Fanxing asked, "The teleportation array is opened once

every ten years, the competition must be very fierce, right?" Senior Brother Zhou nodded with a smile, "Indeed, but Junior Brother Ming does not need to worry, you have such outstanding alchemy ability, you can just take the place of the Alchemist Association." "When we go to Han Gu Continent, we will join the Alchemist Association. By then, both our status and position will be greatly improved." Ming Fanxing looked at Ming Yufeng, "Then..." Senior Brother Zhou also looked at Ming Yufeng, "This junior brother Ming Yufeng is very powerful and has always occupied a first-class cave for cultivation. I think he will not be at a disadvantage in the battles in a few years. You must have one of the eighty places." The words sounded nice and made sense, so they naturally liked to hear them. Moreover, Ming Fanxing was very confident that Ming Yufeng would not fail, including Qin Jiuzhou. Ming Fanxing continued to ask, "Senior Brother Zhou, how many years are you talking about?" Senior Brother Zhou recalled, "Calculating the time, the next time the teleportation array is opened will be about three years later." Three years. This time is not short, nor long, just right for him. Three years should be enough for him to refine all the foundation-building pills and get familiar with them, and then go to the Alchemist Association to test his status as a second-level third-grade alchemist. In this way, he will be more valuable in the eyes of Hua Rong and Fang Haiyi. Of course, he will be more valuable after going to the Hangu Continent. As long as he is valuable, he will be safer when he travels outside. After all, no cultivator would be willing to kill an alchemist who can refine second-level pills just for some things he carries. Senior Brother Zhou suddenly thought of something, "There are still some things I want to tell you, especially Junior Brother Ming Yufeng." As soon as these words came out, they attracted the attention of both of them. Ming Fanxing, "What's going on? Why is it Xiaofeng?" Senior Brother Zhou, "You are an alchemist, and you can get a relatively high status even if you go to Han Gu Continent, but Junior Brother Ming Yufeng is just like other junior brothers, an ordinary cultivator, so the first thing to do when going to Han Gu Continent is to find a sect to join. It is not wise to become a casual cultivator." Ming Fanxing, "Well... is there anything difficult about this?" Although they came from a small place for the sects in Han Gu Continent, they are all foundation-building cultivators, and their realm is here. No matter what, they can't worry about no sect wanting them, right? Senior Brother Zhou, "You have misunderstood. The teleportation array is held once every ten years. Except for the ten people from the Alchemist Association, the remaining ninety cultivators will be recruited by major sects and families near the teleportation array." Ming Fanxing was stunned for a moment, "Is that so? But... they recruit cultivators directly at the teleportation array? The cultivators from our small island?" There is no problem with the lack of sects joining, but it does not mean that they will be so popular, right? There is still a problem. Senior Brother Zhou smiled and said, "Junior Brother Ming, although our Shenwu Island is small and remote, you must remember that those who can use the teleportation array to leave Shenwu Island are at least cultivators in the early stage of foundation building." "In the eyes of the people of Han Gu Continent, those who are teleported there once every ten years are carefully selected from the entire island." "In such a place with extremely scarce resources, those who can cultivate to the foundation building stage must be extremely talented and powerful. Naturally, they will not let them go." "Not only will they not let go, they will even compete with each other. That will be a test of your vision. If you don't choose well, then in the future..." Ming Fanxing was a little surprised, "What should we do? What do you think, Brother Zhou?" Brother Zhou smiled and nodded, "Of course I know something. First of all, we must exclude some families." Ming Fanxing thought of Hua Rong, "Why exclude families? Which families should be excluded?" Brother Zhou pondered, "As for families... you should also know that they all value their own family members. Those recruited from outside are all outsiders. Even if they are trusted, they will not put outsiders at the center of their training."

"You can cooperate with the family members, but you absolutely cannot accept the invitation to join their family. If you want to accept the invitation, as someone who has been through it, I still recommend you to find a sect."

"No matter how small the sect is, at least they are all our own disciples. They speak based on their strength. Although there will be some relationships involved, it is definitely much better than the family."

Ming Fanxing looked at Ming Yufeng. He was going to join the Alchemist Association, so he said all this to Ming Yufeng, hoping that he could understand the importance of the matter.

Ming Yufeng nodded slowly, "Thank you for your guidance, senior brother. I will keep it in mind."

Senior Brother Zhou was satisfied, "Okay, this is just one of them. There is another most important thing I need to tell you. Alas..."

At this point, he sighed slightly.

"This world... What do you think of the competition in Shenwu Continent?"

Ming Fanxing didn't feel much. After all, except for the initial period, he spent all his time in the academy refining pills and rarely went out.

Ming Yufeng said, "The competition is very fierce. Every time you go out on a mission, you will encounter danger, whether it is in your country or elsewhere." Senior

Brother Zhou looked serious, "Yes, now I can tell you that in Hangu Continent, such competition is several times, dozens of times, or even tens of times more fierce than here."

Although they were prepared, they were still a little surprised by this sentence.

Ming Fanxing looked at him, "Brother Zhou, can you give me a rough idea?"

Brother Zhou, "Let me tell you this. In the Han Gu Continent, all forces will give death orders, and fellow disciples must not kill each other! But there is only this rule."

Ming Fanxing blinked blankly, "That is to say... when you go out, as long as you meet someone who is not from the same sect or family as you, you can take action?"

Brother Zhou nodded, "Yes, fighting between cultivators below the Jindan stage, that is, the foundation-building stage and the Qi-condensing stage, will not alarm the powerful people of the Jindan stage and above of various forces. Whether they live or die is up to themselves."

Ming Fanxing hesitated, "Then..."

Brother Zhou, "I know you are confused. In fact, there is no distinction between good and evil in the Han Gu Continent. As long as they are not from the same sect, you can kill them."

"You can take whatever the other party owns, so when you get there, you'll see cultivators from the same sect practicing all sorts of bizarre techniques and magical powers."

"As long as it's powerful and easy to use, basically someone will practice it. Of course, they all hide these resources very well. If you want them, you have to exchange them for other things."

Ming Fanxing could roughly imagine what the situation was like on the Han Gu Continent from what Senior Brother Zhou said.

"It seems that... the competition on Shenwu Island is just an appetizer in Hangu Continent."

Senior Brother Zhou warned, "So, Junior Brother Ming Yufeng, you must be... no matter how careful you are, it can't be too much!"

Ming Yufeng, "Senior Brother Zhou, don't worry, Junior Brother understands."

After all, such unrestrained killing seems chaotic, but it is understandable. After all, the lack of resources is a fact. There are so many people who can practice. What can we do when resources are insufficient?

If we can't provide more resources, we can only allow the lower-level monks to kill each other. It's

a last resort? That's not necessarily the case.

He narrowed his eyes and stopped thinking about this problem.

Ming Fanxing asked again, "What about the Alchemist Association..."

Senior Brother Zhou relaxed a lot, "Speaking of the Alchemist Association, let me tell you this, according to your current foundation-building stage cultivation, if you can become a second-level third-grade alchemist..."

"Then no one can touch you unless it's a Yuanying stage powerhouse!"

Ming Fanxing paused slightly, "Yuanying stage powerhouse... I'm only in the foundation-building stage, how could I possibly provoke a Yuanying stage powerhouse?" Senior

Brother Zhou smiled, "So, no matter if it's a Jindan stage or a foundation-building stage, if you make a move on a second-level third-grade alchemist, you will definitely be wanted by the Alchemist Association and hunted down to the ends of the earth."

"You know, elixirs are hard currency. Every cultivator will be tempted by the rewards provided by the Alchemist Association, that is, elixirs!"
