Shen Lian hasn't thought about this name deliberately for several years.

I didn't expect that the related news I heard was more tragic each time, and this time even the Nascent Soul was beaten out.

If a Nascent Soul cultivator wants to rebuild his body, it will cost a huge amount of money and he must collect several fourth-order spiritual objects as materials. Moreover, all of these spiritual objects are rare treasures in the world of immortal cultivation.

Patriarch Zi Yang finally got what he asked for.

It would be better to bring out the Nascent Soul.

A Nascent Soul ancestor without a physical body is a very popular person. At this moment, Ancestor Ziyang should be thinking about how to escape.

Zi Yang at this time was not scary. What was scary was that his Nascent Soul was also shattered, leaving only a remnant soul that had successfully taken over another body.

After three thousand years of ups and downs, Qiao Momo finally came back to cultivate and take back everything he had lost.

Of course, it is not so easy to take over another's body. One needs to go through a catastrophe of thunder from heaven and earth. If one cannot survive it, he will be reduced to ashes.

Under the rules of heaven and earth, practitioners only have one chance to possess another body, and even if they survive the thunder calamity of heaven and earth, there is a small chance that they will be devoured by the body they possess.

"The battle for the Tianzhu Mountain mining area has come to an end. The Yunshang Sect has repeated its defeat a hundred years ago. Five of the mining area's shares have been taken away by the Taiyi Sect and the Yaoguang Palace, and the mining area's share has dropped to seven."

…

"The great cultivator of the middle stage of the Nascent Soul of the Sea Clan, Master Lan Yu, has reached the end of his life and passed away in the Sea Clan's Tianlan Royal Court."

…

The news from the Tiannan immortal cultivation world are all major events, and they are widely circulated, which means that you can still sell some spirit stones in the Wanxing Sea.

In the South China Sea, the monks enjoy themselves by chatting and having fun.

But Shen Lian felt that the spirit stones were wasted, as there were two pieces of information that he felt were somewhat useful.

The attempt to purchase the Xuanling Jade Sui was fruitless. The Xuanhai Sect did not have the Xuanling Jade Sui, and neither did the Xuanshi Sect.

From the looks of it, there will be no gain even if you go to other immortal cities in the Ten Thousand Star Sea. It’s all because of the trouble in the secret realm of the Sea King Sect. Several major Jindan forces are forcing the cultivators to go to the secret realm to find opportunities.

Thinking of this, Shen Lian felt that it was time to leave Wanxing Sea.

There is an old demon in this place called Wanxinghai.

On the contrary, he didn't have much attachment to this place and got into a lot of trouble.

But even if you leave, you still need to make some preparations.

The journey from Wanxing Sea to the center of the South China Sea is long and dangerous.

Especially when crossing that uninhabited sea area, even if you are riding on a spirit ship, you still have to be fully prepared.

He now only has one large Tianyan jade talisman and two unnourished Tianyan jade talismans left on him. All the small Tianyan jade talismans have been used up.

The most urgent task is to get some raw Xuanling Jadeite.

He picked up the detailed map of the Xuanshi Sect's sea area and looked at it. There were large and small mineral veins in every sect's area.

The Xuanshi Sect controls many large and small spiritual veins. The sect's annual income from the mineral veins alone is over one million spirit stones. Of course, as the sect is wealthy and powerful, they earn more and use more.

After taking a quick look at the sea chart, Shen Lian withdrew his spiritual thoughts. He still felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by a pale-faced female cultivator.

Somehow, in his perception, the Daoist friend Xiang in front of him was looking at him strangely.

There isn't much malice, but it's an indescribable feeling.

After paying with spirit stones for the nautical chart and intelligence, he prepared to leave.

"Why……"

Looking at Shen Lian's leaving back, Xiang Xiuxia sighed softly. She wanted to keep him but couldn't bring herself to say it, and a look of resentment appeared on her face.

As for her two demon spirits, the watery faces showed even more resentment, and there were even whimpering sounds.

Shen Lian, who had not walked far yet, suddenly quickened his pace and jumped out of Wanling Pavilion.

"My sect mission!"

Xiang Xiuxia complained continuously.

"This is the first stranger from outside who has established his foundation that I have met in the past thirty years."

The Xuanshi Sect stipulates that after the sect's disciples have established their foundation, during the time they serve as deacons or managers in the pavilion city, they need to attract a foundation-building cultivator to settle in the Xuanshi Sect's territory.

This task has no deadline, but the sooner you complete the task or the more you exceed the target, the more extra rewards you will receive from the sect.

In addition to attracting foundation-building cultivators to settle in the Xuanshi territory, there is also the task of gathering the ninth-level Qi-training cultivators among the scattered cultivators.

But the status of a Qi-cultivating cultivator is not as high as that of a foundation-building cultivator, and a Qi-cultivating cultivator cannot become the foundation of the 'Ten Thousand Foundations Array'.

Ahem...fellow Taoist, please don't misunderstand.

The Xuanshi Sect has always adhered to the righteous path of the devil.

It is true that the sect needs the corpses of foundation-building monks to make corpse puppets, but they will not hunt down foundation-building monks and destroy their own foundation.

The sect has always adhered to the premise of mutual consent, attracting foreign foundation-building monks to settle down in the Xuanshi Sect's territory as one of the ways to expand the number of foundation-building monks in the sect's territory.

As long as someone intends to take root in the Xuanshi Sect's territory, the sect will be responsible for solving their worries.

No one in the family? No prosperous bloodline?

Do you want the immortal seedling with spiritual roots?

I will give you one hundred at a time, which guarantees that the probability of your offspring having spiritual roots will increase greatly.

No spiritual land?

Sent by the sect.

The first hundred years are counted as development time, and you will not be charged for any contribution.

As long as there are enough foundation-building monks, why worry about not being able to produce enough foundation-building monks who can sit and die? Even if the family is unwilling to offer up the foundation-building ancestors, the sect will not come to seize them by trickery.

Daoist friend, your ancestor has passed away. Do you need the foundation-building pill? One ancestor for one pill.

Deliver Dan to your door.

Don't need it now? No problem, the Xuanshi Sect can wait for 2,000 years.

When the day comes when there is a lack of foundation-building cultivators in the family, the foundation-building ancestors that were buried before can be dug out and exchanged for foundation-building pills.

Deliver Dan to your door.

…

Standing on the balcony, Xiang Xiuxia watched Shen Lian fall to the river bank and sighed again.

After thirty years, a full thirty years, she finally met a fellow Taoist who looked unfamiliar and had an unfamiliar aura.

But he had clearly said that he didn't want to stay in the Xuanshi Sea and wanted to go to the South China Sea. She couldn't force him to stay.

…

Shen Lian walked out of Wanling Pavilion, looked back at the towering building, and smoothed his robe, almost getting goose bumps.

That Daoist brother Xiang might have a brain disorder due to refining corpses, which gave him a weird feeling.

"senior."

When Du Shengyun saw Shen Lian coming down, he quickly moved his grandfather out of the stone trough.

Just when he was about to speak again, he saw a flash of white light in front of his eyes. He was so scared that he took several steps back and lowered his head.

"senior."

Yun Fei came down gracefully and handed over a jade slip.

"If you have any thoughts about living in the sect's territory for a long time or starting a family, you can take a look at this jade slip. The sect welcomes foreign cultivators very much."

After leaving the jade slip, Yun Fei's white skirt fluttered up and she flew back to Wanling Pavilion.

After Shen Lian took a look at the jade slip, he realized that he had misunderstood.

He said that his disguised face was ordinary.

I thought about getting a face after building my foundation, but later I thought it was better to let it go. How could a female cultivator treat me differently with a double ordinary face? "A great talent from the Xuanshi Sect."

Shen Lian was still very shocked by the contents of the jade slip. Is the world of immortal cultivation so particular?

"The Wanji formation."

This name shocked him greatly.

The full name of the Xuanshi Sect's protective formation is the Disha Wanji Formation. It is said that the Xuanshi Sect's goal is to gather tens of thousands of corpse puppets at the level of foundation-building cultivators.

Outsiders don’t know how many corpse puppets at the foundation-building level there are in this formation.

"So you're greedy for my body after death."

Shen Lian breathed a sigh of relief. As long as they didn't mess with him while he was still alive, there wouldn't be any big problems.

If he were dead, it wouldn't matter if his ashes were pasted on the wall.

"senior."

Du Shengyun bent over carefully.

"Lead the way."

“Yes, yes.”

Feeling that Shen Lian did not show the pressure of a foundation-building cultivator, Du Shengyun felt relieved and his steps became lighter.

"Has anything interesting happened recently?"

"What aspect are you talking about, senior?"

"Just talk, I like listening to stories." Shen Lian walked along the winding stone path.

"There are so many things to say, I am afraid that I will speak so arrogantly in front of you."

Du Shengyun sorted out his thoughts. This was the first time he was guiding a senior who had reached the foundation-building stage. If he could make the senior laugh and reveal something between his fingers, he would enjoy it greatly.

"The most significant event that happened recently is the war between the two nearby families..."

Du Shengyun is a talkative person, and he may be too cautious and excited in front of Shen Lian, talking about this and that.

All the legends, rumors, gossip, family wars, and rumors about the elders of the Xuanshi Sect were poured out.

The information he could access at his level of strength was all spread among a group of monks who were doing the same thing in the city.

Seeing that Shen Lian was not dissatisfied, Du Shengyun became bolder.

After walking along the bank of the Xuanshui River for a quarter of an hour, Shen Lian asked, "Is the iron ore on the nearby Jinchuan Island very large?"

Du Shengyun paused while talking nonstop. "Replying to the senior, the mineral vein on Jinchuan Island is not large, and the quality is not very good. It has been mined for hundreds of years, and no second-level refined iron ore has been produced in recent decades."

"Senior, do you need materials for refining equipment?"

After carefully looking at Shen Lian and finding that his expression had not changed, Du Shengyun continued, "There are many mineral veins in the Xuanshi Sea, and the most famous one is the spiritual stone associated mine on Yuanshui Island.

That is a third-level mineral vein. We have discovered several pieces of third-level ore since we started mining."

Every time he spoke, Du Shengyun would carefully glance at Shen Lian out of the corner of his eye, so as not to upset the Foundation Establishment Master by saying something wrong.

"Go on."

Not paying attention to Du Shengyun's little trick, Shen Lian became interested in this associated mine.

Xuanling Jadeite is a product that occurs as a byproduct of mineral veins. It may appear in any type of mineral veins.

"The mineral veins on Yuanshui Island are one of the most important industries of Xuanshi Sect. With the Jindan Patriarch in charge, outsiders were not allowed to land on the island in the past."

For a sect at the Jindan level, third-order spiritual objects are absolutely strategic materials.

The price of this kind of strategic material cannot be determined by the ordinary price of spirit stones, so it is not surprising that the Xuanshi Sect did this.

Shen Lian frowned slightly. Currently, Xuanling Jade Marrow could not be purchased in the sea area, so he could only think of a way through the mineral veins.

But with the golden elixir in place, even if it was a fake elixir, he had to stay away.

"In fact, before the Yuanshui Island mine, there is another third-level mine island to the east of the Xuanshi Sea, called Haiyuan Island, which is almost next to the sea clan's territory."

Shen Lian narrowed his eyes and recalled the detailed nautical chart he had purchased before. There was such a place, but nothing else was marked in detail.

"This island used to produce third-level ore. The Xuanshi Sect and the Sea Clan fought many times over it. Later, the ore veins gradually dried up, and coupled with the invasion of the Sea Clan, it was finally abandoned."

"It seems you are well-informed."

Shen Lian glanced at Du Shengyun.

"Thank you for the compliment, senior. This is my job. These things are widely spread in the sea area. Many people know about it. It is my honor that you can give me this opportunity."

As he walked, Shen Lian looked up and saw a robe shop standing on the river bank. He paused and walked towards the shop.

"This one, this one, and that one... I don't want any of them."

"I want all the rest."

Inside the hall, before the shopkeeper could even open his mouth, he discovered that his shop was filled with robes of various styles, for both men and women, old and young, even the bellybands were gone, leaving only a dozen or so pieces lying there.

Du Shengyun walked quickly to the shopkeeper and muttered something in a low voice.

"Senior Foundation Building."

The shopkeeper was shocked, because the highest quality robes in his shop were only of the first grade, with a few small spells such as dust-proof, flashing, and color-changing.

Aren't the seniors who have built their foundation very steady? "Is there anyone at the second level?"

"No."

The shopkeeper shook his head vigorously. A robe is something that only looks good when worn. He is not a Jindan ancestor. An ordinary foundation-building cultivator would only think of ways to buy defensive magic tools if he had money, instead of wasting it on flashy robes.

"How much?"

Without waiting for the shopkeeper to respond, Shen Lian waved his hand, threw out a small storage bag, and walked out.

The shopkeeper tremblingly opened the storage bag, carefully took a look at the spirit stones inside, and then heaved a sigh of relief.

The senior is worthy of being a senior, he did not shirk his responsibility.

It was given by spirit stones, so he made some profit.

The reason for needing so many robes, of various styles, was mainly because Shen Lian felt that he might need them in the future. If he became an old man, a teenager, or a child, it would be unprofessional to not have matching robes.

These robes range from ordinary to first-class quality, in various styles, and also include women's clothing.

After coming out of Xuanshui City, Shen Lian threw ten spirit stones to Du Shengyun and walked towards a small treasure ship on the shore that was about to set sail.

He wondered whether he should go to Haiyuan Mining Island to take a look.

At the moment, he has no channels to purchase the Xuanling Jadeite, so he can only think of a way to get it from the source.

But it is not easy to obtain it from the source. If the mineral veins in the territory of Xuanshi Sect are of high quality and high yield, the Xuanshi Sect will take the majority of it.

Some small and difficult-to-mine mineral veins will be distributed to the foundation-building families below, and the Xuanshi Sect will simply take a share.

In other words, unless it is a mineral vein that has not yet been discovered, all mineral veins that are currently being developed have owners, and each family has sent monks to take charge.

The larger the mineral vein, the greater the chance of the occurrence of Xuanling Jadeite. The probability of this occurring in a small mineral vein is very small.

Correspondingly, the larger the mineral vein, the stronger the monks guarding it.

That's why Shen Lian thought of doing the opposite and going to the abandoned Haiyuan Mining Island.

He has a Five Elements Earth Spirit Puppet that can travel underground, so maybe he can pick up some loot.

He was not greedy enough to find a large piece of Xuanling Jadeite raw stone. A small piece would be fine as long as it could be used to fill in the small Tianyan Jade Talisman.

By the way, it would be even better if I could turn over a few more pieces and nurture the two large-sized Tianyan jade talismans in my hand.

In addition, he also needs to choose a place to refine the Five Elements Spirit Puppet again.

Haiyuan Mining Island is still in the eastern part of Xuanshi Sect, belonging to the eastern edge of Wanxing Sea, and is far enough away from Xuanhai Sect.

The abandoned mine, far away from human habitation, was perfect for him to hide and practice.

…

One month later.

On the sea, a treasure ship was sailing against the wind and waves. Shen Lian, who was practicing in the box, opened his eyes, stood up, walked to the window and looked out.

On the sea, there were loud gongs and drums and firecrackers.

On a treasure ship decorated in red and green, there were colorful lights and singing and dancing.

At the highest point, a flower shed was built with thousands of flowers, and under the shed was placed a big red coffin.
