On Haizhang Island.

Shen Lian sighed in his heart that Qian Dai's business was truly more extensive than he had expected.

Demonic beasts at the eighth level of foundation building are rare in the human cultivation area of ​​Wanxing Sea.

Scarcity makes things valuable, so I estimate the price to be 20% to 30% higher than the normal price.

"Sea-Swallowing Floodfish, a monster with dragon bloodline."

Shen Lian showed his thoughtful expression. The demon pill of the monster with dragon bloodline would be of great benefit to his advancement to the third level.

Now Sanqian is at the ninth level of Qi training, but his strength is still too low and his role has not been highlighted. If he can further stimulate the dragon blood in his body, it may be of great use in the future.

Now Shen Lian is more inclined to prepare for a rainy day. He upgraded Sanqian to the foundation-building stage in case he doesn't need it in the future. If he doesn't need it, he won't have enough strength and will regret it.

This is also true for Dahei.

Compared to Sanqian, it will be more dangerous for Dahei to advance to the second-level demon beast. Even if he finds a second-level earth demon pill, his advancement path may not be smooth.

Apart from the three thousand demon pills that require the blood of a dragon, the demon blood of this demon beast is what Shen Lian truly values.

Spiritual ink and demon blood are one of the main ingredients for making talismans.

"It would be nice if it was a fire-attributed monster."

The second-grade high-quality spiritual ink that Shen Lian had purchased before was of fire attribute, or tended towards earth or wood attributes.

"Fellow Daoists who participate in the hunting of the Sea Devouring Flood Dragon will have the priority to purchase the monster's parts."

At this time, the communication jade talisman lit up again, and Qian Dai's voice came again.

Hearing this, Shen Lian's mouth twitched involuntarily.

It's not fun to play like this. It's discriminatory against Krypton players, right?

After thinking about it, Shen Lian replied to Qian Dai.

Sign up first.

Let's go and have a look, if it doesn't work then just run away.

Not long after, Qian Dai's voice was heard again on the communication jade talisman.

"Okay, fellow Taoists, please gather at the atoll island in two months."

After handing the communication jade talisman to the spirit puppet, Shen Lian stood up and walked out of the cave, heading towards the market on the island.

I spent two days wandering around the island's market, buying some first-level herbs and minerals to slightly enrich my collection.

He didn't buy something on purpose, but bought it when he saw it and thought it was useful.

When I become a weapon refiner in the future, I will definitely create an upgradeable cave treasure to store these reserve resources.

After returning to the cave, all the random guesses he had about his previous divine insights were suppressed deep in his heart.

In a flash, the divine insights gained were added to the earth spirit roots.

【Earth Spiritual Root 69】

Shen Lian lay comfortably in the cave, carefully savoring the warm breath in his dantian.

Dahei lay at the edge of the cave, looking at Shen Lian.

"That's right, the master was like this the last time."

…

Qian Dai agreed to hunt monsters two months later. The agreed atoll island was not far from his current Haizhang Island. Even if he drove a spirit boat to travel, it would only take more than half a month.

After upgrading the earth spirit root scale, Shen Lian began to cut the Xuanling Jadeite raw stone he had purchased.

It was not until the time was almost right that he cut it into three small pieces, packed up his luggage and quietly left Haizhang Island.

Atoll island.

This is an island with both land and water. From a distance, the entire island looks charred and there are very few trees on the island.

The entire island is made up entirely of reefs that emerge above water, and there is a deep sea pool in the center of the island.

A long time ago, a large group of sea clams lived in the deep pool within this ring, among which there were third-level sea clams.

The water spirit beads produced by the third-level sea spirit shells are of some use to Nascent Soul cultivators who practice water magic.

So, this group of sea clams disappeared.

In the following time, a large number of monks flocked in.

As a result, there are only a few Hailingbei left in Huanjiao Island whose strength is only at the early and middle stage of the first level, and even then you may not necessarily encounter them.

The market town around Jiaodao Island is built on the southeast side of the island. There is no city to protect it, and the buildings are built up and down relying on the reef terrain.

Shen Lian had arrived a long time ago and had inspected the atoll island inside and out.

In the pool inside Huanjiao Island, the former reefs and rocks were completely destroyed, and the scattered sea clams had lost all their life.

To put it bluntly, cultivators who cultivate immortality, including himself, are just like gluttons. They all work within the scope of their own strength, harming the spiritual power of heaven and earth to enrich themselves.

No wonder there is a killing calamity in the sky and fights and struggles everywhere.

This feeling was fleeting and Shen Lian put it behind his mind. Before this, he had never even seen a Hailingbei, so it was good enough that he could feel the feeling.

If there is going to be a killing spree because of the Sea Lingbei, it should start with the Nascent Soul cultivator who led the way in obtaining the third-level Sea Lingbei.

I guess after such a long time, if this person’s strength had not improved, he would have died long ago.

That morning, Shen Lian stood on the reef and saw a spirit ship swaying in the distance. The crackling sound could be heard clearly from a long distance away.

So he turned around and jumped into the deep pool on the island.

There are several large caves under the pool, directly connected to the ocean outside the island.

…

The Haifenglei spirit ship landed on Huanjiao Island with a clang, causing debris to fly all around.

A number of large seats have been placed on the deck.

Of course, it was incomparable to the carved dragon-skin chair that Qian Dai himself sat on.

"Fellow Daoist Qian, I'm sorry something happened suddenly and I can't make it."

The maid Moer handed a jade message talisman to Qian Dai.

Qian Dai didn't even look at him, "Who is this?"

"The great elder of the Sang family of Fuhe Island, Sang Heyan."

Qian Dai waved his hand and didn't care.

Over the years, he often invited related foundation-building monks to go into the deep sea to hunt monsters.

Fellow Taoists have done so much. If there is danger in the future, even if I don’t help, I won’t add insult to injury.

Of course, this does not apply to those who are cold-hearted by nature.

Earning spirit stones is one thing, but observing the abilities of every foundation-building cultivator is also one of the goals.

In addition, there is another important reason, which is to explore spiritual places.

Half a day later, a blue light shot out from the sea like lightning and landed directly on the Haifenglei.

"Mr. Qian, long time no see."

The fallen monk put away his spirit boat and transformed into a middle-aged monk with a rather sallow face.

"It seems that I am the first one to arrive."

"Friend Qiu, long time no see."

Qian Dai said politely but did not stand up from his couch, and even his bow was just a symbolic one.

Qiu Qian didn't care. Qian Dai had a background, but he was just a casual cultivator and only had his back.

Being able to curry favor with the young master of the Qian family is already a very honorable thing, not to mention that the young master of the Qian family is authentic in his work.

Take the matter of going into the deep sea to hunt monsters, for example. Not everyone dares to go. But for many cultivators to be taken out to play by the young master of the Jindan family is something they would love to have.

This is not his first time to participate in a monster hunting operation. With the endorsement of the young master of the Jindan family, his safety is guaranteed. It is much safer than those wild groups.

…

Two days later.

Shen Lian piloted the spirit boat across the sea, heading towards the Haifenglei.

When he was one thousand four hundred feet away from the Sea Breeze Thunder, he felt a divine thought coming towards him. He did not use his divine thought, but it was the divine thought talisman in his robe that made the response.

Afterwards, after entering a range of one thousand feet, he sensed different divine thoughts one after another.

The divine thought of one thousand four hundred feet, there is no doubt that it belongs to Qian Dai.

The young master of the Qian family looked flabby, but his spiritual power was beyond the ninth level of foundation building.

During their first communication, Shen Lian sensed the power of his spiritual power, but he was only now certain of his true strength.

It should be the ninth level of foundation building.

The remaining divine thoughts that were sensed were four at a distance of seven or eight hundred feet, two at a distance of more than six hundred feet, and three at a distance of more than four hundred feet.

Based on these divine senses, one can roughly judge the strength of the monks on the spirit ship.

These divine thoughts that swept over did not have any hostility, they were just simple detections, and Shen Lian ignored them.

It landed directly on the Haifenglei spirit ship.

"Fellow Daoist Qian."

He bowed to Qian Dai who was sitting in the main seat, and then bowed to the other monks on the spirit ship.

"My name is Lu You, nice to meet you fellow Taoists."

Seeing Shen Lian falling, the foundation-building cultivators present all smiled kindly and greeted Shen Lian in return. They did not act arrogantly because of their strength.

"Bayu Island, Qiu Qian."

"Mingxin Island, Xu Chaoling."

"Fu Jingcheng."

…

"Ziya Island, Zhao Siyun."

Shen Lian gestured again to his fellow Taoist who was saluting him, and quickly compared his mind with the divine thoughts that had just scanned him.

It was Qian Dai who confirmed once again the 1,400-foot divine consciousness.

Two people at the eighth level of foundation building.

Two people at the seventh level of foundation building.

Two people at the sixth level of foundation building.

There are four people below the sixth level of foundation building, including Shen Lian.

"Some of you fellow Taoists have seen it before, and some of you are participating in the monster hunting for the first time. You can exchange ideas with each other."

Qian Dai asked the maid to prepare spiritual tea and brought it to Shen Lian after he sat down.

"Is this your first time participating in a monster hunt?"

As Shen Lian picked up the teacup, the voice of Fu Jingcheng, a young monk sitting next to him, came over.

He put down the teacup and nodded.

"Yes, what about you, fellow Taoist?"

“This is my second time.”

Fu Jingcheng is very talkative.

Through Fellow Daoist Fu, Shen Lian also learned that this was not the first time that Qian Dai had organized such an activity. He had hunted thirty to fifty monsters in the deep sea and had even hunted a sunflower-horned monster python whose combat power was comparable to that of a fake dan.

Because Qian Dai has a good reputation, many monks want to join this game, but Qian Dai has a casual personality and there is no fixed number of people to invite.

However, Shen Lian could see that this Daoist Fellow Qian was very capable, farsighted, and had great ambitions.

With Qian Dai, who is at the ninth level of foundation building, and ten other foundation building monks, it is more than enough to hunt down a sea-swallowing dragon fish at the eighth level of foundation building.

Two days later, two more young monks arrived, and the entire hunting team increased by thirteen people.

Night is falling.

Qian Dai opened his eyes in silence and said, "All the invited Taoist friends who can come have come, and we are ready to set off."

“But let me be frank.

Since we have joined forces to hunt monsters, if someone trips you up or plots something bad during the hunt, our Qian family will hunt them down to the bitter end, and if there are families with them, we will uproot them.”

"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Qian. We are all practicing in the nearby sea area. How can we destroy our own path of practice?"

"Young Master Qian is willing to lead us out to sea to earn spirit stones. If there are those who have second thoughts, Young Master Qian doesn't need to help us. We will crush them to ashes."

…

Qian Dai nodded and gestured to Mo'er who was standing behind him.

Mo'er's hand flashed, and jade slips fell into the hands of everyone.

Shen Lian took the jade slip and immersed himself in it. What was recorded in it was the detailed information of the target of this hunt, the Sea-Swallowing Flood Dragon Fish.

While checking the contents of the jade slip, he also made a decision.

He can take part in this monster hunting.

This decision was also made after careful analysis.

Firstly, apart from Qian Dai, the strongest cultivators around him were only at the eighth level of foundation building, which was a far cry from their spiritual power.

In addition, the cultivators who participated in the monster hunting were not all independent cultivators. More than half of them were cultivators from nearby foundation-building families.

Qian Dai organized more than 20 or 30 monster hunting expeditions, and each time he returned with a full load, gaining a great reputation.

As for Qian Dai, although Shen Lian did not fully see through him, if there was real danger, he had the Five Elements Spirit Puppet and could wade all the way back.

He is a professional at rubbing oil on the soles of his feet.

As for why so many cultivators have to be invited to deal with an eighth-level foundation-building monster, it is mainly because monsters in the deep sea do not exist alone.

This late-stage second-order sea-swallowing dragon fish is the little demon king of this tribe. He has no less than five or six second-order sea-swallowing dragon fish under his command, and there are even more first-order sea-swallowing dragon fish left.

If you want to hunt this late stage second stage fish king, you must first clear out these small fish.

In addition, the deep sea is the territory of the sea clan. Although the place where the sea-swallowing dragon fish is located is not the habitat of the sea clan, it is possible to encounter the sea clan.

But Shen Lian carefully observed the expressions of the monks around him and did not see any worry on their faces.

"Okay, let's go."

As he spoke, Qian Dai opened his palms, and a stream of blue light shot up into the sky, transforming into a ten-foot-tall spirit boat, on which flashed dense runes and emitted an icy aura.

Qian Dai took the lead and led the maid onto the spirit boat. After seeing the other cultivators fly up, Shen Lian also flew into the spirit boat.

A dazzling blue light bloomed on the spirit boat, and more than a dozen pairs of wind and thunder wings grew around it, stirring up a rolling gust of wind, and with the help of the wind, it soared into the air.

After falling into the spirit boat, Shen Lian looked at the spirit boat. This spirit boat gave him a very spiritual feeling, and it seemed as if there was spiritual liquid flowing inside the blue hull.

He looked for a long time before coming back to his senses.

Good stuff, but the color is a bit too bright.

He still likes the battle-damaged version.

The journey to the deep sea where the sea-swallowing dragon fish is located will take about three months, and this is the time required after using this specially made spirit boat that is faster than a spirit ship.

Shen Lian was a little puzzled. What was this fat guy Qian Dai trying to achieve by spending spirit stones and time on it?

As a descendant of a Jindan family, he supports independent cultivators and cultivators from small families? He didn't realize that this fat man had such a kind heart.

However, as long as the fat man has no bad intentions, Shen Lian feels that he can still make friends with this person. After all, he obtained the Xuanling Jadeite raw stone from him, and he also wanted to exchange it for other spiritual objects.

…

Two and a half months later.

With the spirit boat running at full speed, the group had smooth sailing all the way and finally arrived at their destination.

Looking from afar, in the boundless ocean, there is a large island similar to Huanjiao Island, surrounded by mountains.

In the center of the island is an extremely large and deep pool.

"The nest of the sea-swallowing dragon fish is in the deep pool on the island. Deep in the deep pool there is a cave culvert leading to the ocean outside the island."

"We need a fellow Taoist to be on guard in the ocean outside the island and block the underwater culvert to prevent any accidents from happening and a Level 2 Sea-Swallowing Flood Dragon Fish escaping into the ocean."

Qian Dai stood on the spirit boat and pointed at the island in the distance.

"After the hunt is over, the monster's share will be distributed according to each person's contribution. If the share is insufficient, if fellow Taoists agree, spirit stones can be used to make up the difference."

"Now you can choose your respective tasks."

"I am weak, why don't I just guard the culvert outside."

"Okay, Brother Lu, choose the mission of guarding the culvert outside the island."

Corrected a previous bug. The author was short-sighted and didn't know how to count. He always thought that one inch was one centimeter, but he didn't expect that one inch was 3.33 centimeters.

This resulted in the No. 1 jade talisman being ten inches in size, larger than the author's face.

It has now been modified to No. 1 jade being four inches long and two and a half inches wide.

No. 2, which is the normal Xuanling Jadeite, is two and a half inches long and one and a half inches wide 　　. No. 3, is one and a half inches long and one inch wide.

Feel sorry.

I've lived for so many years, and have done something embarrassing and exposed my IQ.
