Shen Lian let out a breath slowly.

But he was not in a hurry to add the divine enlightenment points. With the experience from last time, what he was thinking about now was how to prepare himself so that he could stay in the magical scene for a while longer.

The power of divine consciousness is the most important. Last time, in a short period of time, only a little image was reflected, and I felt hollowed out.

However, the divine sense was not very strong at that time. Now the divine sense of two thousand feet is already ten or twenty times stronger than it was then.

After thinking it over, Shen Lian found that he really had nothing to prepare. He had the recipe but not the herbs for the elixir that could restore his spiritual consciousness.

Alas... speechless.

The next morning, the door of Anxin Grocery Store opened.

Shen Lian walked out slowly, closed the door outside, and steered a spirit boat towards the depths of the ocean.

When he left the city, several figures wandering outside the city quietly followed him, each pretending to be in a hurry, and quietly followed in the same direction...

This is the characteristic of the world of immortal cultivation.

However, soon these figures circled on the sea and came back cursing.

"The person disappeared."

"Are we that scary?"

…

It was easy for Shen Lian to get rid of a few small fish.

These guys who are waiting to do business outside Cape Fairy City specifically target strangers, and there is an organization and power behind them.

Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to do it so openly.

Fortunately, they also have good eyesight and will not kill you as long as you give them some spirit stones. It's like blocking the road and collecting tolls.

After leaving the Cape Fairy City, Shen Lian headed south. After leaving the city a thousand miles away, he dived into the water and turned east.

The Cape Fairy City was too prosperous, so there were many monks coming and going from the surrounding area. It was not until two days later that he appeared on an island where mortals lived.

"Go and ask about the situation."

After releasing Dahei, he quickly went into the island to look for his offspring.

Dahei went to investigate the situation on the island, while Shen Lian began to check his own cave.

The entire cave is covered with black-horned ant nests, and overall looks no different from natural ant holes.

There are many ant holes like this on the island, and each one is a different size.

After inspecting the island, Shen Lian chose one close to the center of the island.

"Master, I have already inquired. There are very few monks on the island. Those who occasionally pass by usually just pass by without stopping."

"Um."

As he waved his hand, a spiritual light flashed in Shen Lian's hand, and one array plate after another quickly merged into the surrounding soil and rocks. A colorful light flashed, and the small five elements forbidden formation began to operate.

In addition, his figure flashed and he set up the small five elements forbidden formation in two other places on the island.

Returning to the main cave again, five colors appeared in the palm of his hand, and the small five elements mutual generation talisman array turned into flowing light and penetrated into the base of each array.

Suddenly, a spiritual light flickered within the formation, and the aura suddenly rose from the upper level of the second stage to the third stage.

There are three formations. If someone really comes, they will have to choose one among the three to break the formation.

"go."

After the formation was set up, Shen Lian snapped his fingers and three jade talismans fell down.

The figure imprinted on the jade talisman came to life in a flash of spiritual light. After falling to the ground, it first moved its body stiffly, and then jumped on the spot.

Soon, the three figures became more flexible, put on wide robes, and their aura was maintained at the foundation-building level.

"Go ahead."

Three figures swayed towards Shen Lian, then whooshed into the earth and rocks.

This is the new version of the puppet jade talisman man that Shen Lian spent a lot of effort to modify.

Each Jade Talisman person can last for nearly a month without fighting.

If it's a fight, it depends on how intense it is, but it will last at least three to five days.

Every jade talisman person has a piece of his divine consciousness stored in him, which is similar to a simplified version of his incarnation.

The Jade Talisman Man has a lot of flaws. For example, once he is killed by someone, the wisp of divine consciousness that he has stored in him will be cut off.

As the controller, Shen Lian's sea of ​​consciousness will also be affected, and in serious cases, he may suffer trauma.

But at the moment, this is the limit of what he can do.

After making preparations, Shen Lian sat down cross-legged and began to regulate his spirit.

Since there is no external assistance from elixirs or magical tools, one can only rely on one's own spiritual will.

I hope I can hold out a little longer this time.

At least take a look at what else is in that mysterious space and time.

Also, the fire element magical power appeared immediately at that time, and he really wanted to know how it was poured into his body.

Three days later, everything was ready.

Shen Lian was full of energy, with a gleam of intelligence in his eyes.

[Earth Spiritual Root: 69]

"Gaga ga."

“Buzz——”

“Hey hey…”

With a cry of surprise, Shen Lian found himself stuck in the mud before he could feel the mysterious fluctuations arising from his dantian.

Mountains rise from the ground and reach into the sky.

It should be the sky. There is a yellow haze above and I can't tell where it is.

Surrounded by mountains, there is a giant mountain that is indescribably majestic, connecting the sky and the earth, supporting the yellow space and time.

This mountain is massive and vast, towering to the sky.

In the blink of an eye, the khaki color between the mountains dimmed, and a little green appeared, quickly spreading in the space and time where the mountains were.

There are hazy lights and shadows emerging from the green, some are big and some are small, some are like towering mountains, some are as small as a three-foot hunchback, and countless changes have evolved in the blink of an eye.

Shen Lian was completely overwhelmed.

He felt like he was buried in a pit, with only his head exposed.

Watching the evolution of the world.

A little sleepy.

The changes in light and shadow around him and every breath made him feel like he was being hollowed out.

One breath... Two breaths...

Five breaths... nine breaths...

Finally, he just felt his eyelids fighting each other, his consciousness was drained away, and he fell into a coma uncontrollably.

"call……"

Inside the cave, Shen Lian jumped up as if he was pricked by a needle in the buttocks.

However, his spiritual power was too much consumed, and after being stimulated, he was forced to shut down again, and fell back with his arms and legs spread out.

"Earth...carries all life..."

"Green..."

"Tianyan Earth Region, it is indeed the same as I thought before, traced back to the source."

"Maybe we'll know the origin of spiritual roots in the future."

…

Seeing Shen Lian lying down, Dahei crawled over and stood guard beside him, and took out a Tianyan jade talisman from the collar around his neck.

The master said that he would never give it to bad people.

Two days later, Shen Lian woke up from his deep sleep and looked inward. The power of his spiritual consciousness in his sea of ​​​​consciousness was like a dried-up fish pond, which had just accumulated one tenth of the water.

[Fire Magical Power: Heavenly Fire Domain]

[Earth Magical Power: Tianyan Earth Territory]

As his palms opened, the five elements of spiritual power were released from his meridians and transformed into a five-colored spiritual snake.

But in the blink of an eye, the two kinds of spiritual power of fire and earth on the five-colored spirit snake suddenly surged, and the aura doubled in an instant.

The five elements of spiritual power dissipated, and Shen Lian fell back onto the cushion again, but an earthy yellow spiritual light emanated from his body, merging with the earth and rocks below.

"Earth escape is much faster than before."

"Oh, right. I saw the mountains were green and full of vitality. This shows that I was on the right track in using the Five Elements' method of mutual generation to improve my spiritual roots."

"According to the theory of the five elements, the next step is to focus on improving the gold spiritual root."

"Hmm...if I complete all five elements, will there be any qualitative change?"

"Supernatural powers. After forming a golden elixir, a Jindan Zhenren can condense supernatural powers on the golden elixir. In this way, when fighting, he can instantly use the supernatural powers he has condensed, which is similar to a killer mace."

"Could it be that these two kinds of divine powers can only be manifested when I reach the Golden Core Realm?"

Holding a ball of soil, Shen Lian fell into deep thought.

Before this, his use of the Tianyan Fire Domain was limited to using the fire spiritual power among the five elements to bless the spiritual ink and remove the tracking marks left by his opponents.

At present, the same seems to be true for Tianyan Earth Realm's magical powers.

He was simply unable to materialize this magical power and could only achieve it with the help of his own spiritual power.

Is it because my realm is too low, or is it that this kind of magical power that comes from the source of spiritual roots needs to rely on the magic power of the cultivator to be used.

After thinking it over, Shen Lian still couldn't come up with a definite idea. He could only wait and see after he was promoted to the Golden Core stage.

"In the future, you should be more respectful in front of Jindan Zhenren, so as not to be swept by his great Jindan supernatural power and have no place to cry."

"When I condense the golden elixir, I will condense the Five Elements Escape into a magical power. It will be so cool if I can use it instantly and run away."

A Jindan cultivator can condense a total of three Jindan great magical powers. The three categories of attack, defense and protection are common magical powers of Jindan True Persons.

There are also sword practitioners who have condensed all of them into great killing powers.

This kind of people are the hardest to deal with.

"It is rumored that in ancient times, there was a five-element divine power called the Five-Colored Divine Light. I wonder if it can be cultivated."

…

"I think too much."

…

While Shen Lian was in seclusion, explosive news came from the Cape Fairy City.

Xuanhai Sect's supreme elder, Fu Hai Zhenren, has come out to personally take action to crush the Chengtian Alliance.

But for two or three hundred years, Master Fu Hai has not taken this step.

Inside the Cape Fairy City, under a mountain shrouded in spiritual light, a spiritual waterfall cascades down, splashing out little drops of starlight rain.

Below the spiritual waterfall is a cave that looks extremely simple.

In the pool outside the cave entrance, a second-grade, top-grade Luoshui Spirit Lotus was swaying in the water.

Under the lotus leaves, a golden-backed carp with golden lines on its back and whiskers on its lower jaw was shaking its fat body, trying to snatch the spiritual food.

In the South China Sea, a one-foot-long golden-backed carp would cost tens of thousands of spirit stones.

There were eight or nine of them in the pond.

A path paved with second-grade warm jade passes through the spirit pond and leads directly to the reception room inside the cave.

There are futons, screens, wooden couches, curtains, and in the center, there is a picture of the sea and Jieshi.

This picture contains the artistic conception of water. For cultivators with water spiritual roots, it is a rare treasure, worth no less than three or five hundred thousand spirit stones.

The entire cave looks simple in overall furnishings, but the materials are not simple at all.

Lin Qianzong stood in the reception room somewhat restrainedly, bowing his head and holding a jade box in his hand.

Not long after, footsteps were heard from the corridor deep in the cave, and Master Hei Xuan, wearing a robe with a black water wave pattern, slowly walked into the reception room.

"Inner sect disciple Lin Qianzong greets the elder."

"Qian Zong is here, please come and have a seat. There is no need to be so polite when you come to my place."

True Man Hei Xuan had a resolute expression and was in high spirits. He looked at Lin Qianzong with a smile.

Lin Qianzong sat cross-legged on the cushion, and suddenly his whole body was penetrated by refreshing spiritual energy.

A third-level ice-wood cushion, even in his family, there was no such luxurious one.

"Elder, I accidentally got a magical item from outside a few days ago, but I am not sure what it is, so I brought it here for you to identify."

True Man Hei Xuan showed interest in his eyes, "Qian Zong, you are really lucky. Then I will see what kind of spiritual object it is."

Lin Qianzong handed over the jade box in his hand.

“Crack.”

After Master Hei Xuan opened the jade box, the green light in the box was like a waterfall, even turning his black hair green.

"Eternal Spring Longevity Bamboo!"

After seeing clearly what was in the jade box, Master Hei Xuan's eyes flashed with a gleam of intelligence.

Good stuff.

This item is the main ingredient for refining the third-level Changchun Longevity Pill. The third-level longevity pill can increase the lifespan of a Jindan Zhenren by ten to twenty years, and the lifespan of a foundation-building cultivator by thirty years.

Even if you have taken other longevity pills before, you can still take Changchun Longevity Pills without developing drug resistance.

Lin Qianzong's move really hit the spot for him.

True Man Hei Xuan was thinking a lot with his eyes flickering. His life span is now over five hundred years old, but he is still stuck in the late Jindan realm.

With such a speed of cultivation, even if one advances to the Great Perfection of the Golden Core, there is only one chance to condense the Nascent Soul.

If one can live a dozen more years, one can maintain a period of peak energy and blood for a dozen more years, and have a better chance of advancing to the Nascent Soul stage.

Such a precious item is rare even in a sect, let alone in the Wanxing Sea.

What was Lin Qianzong thinking when he took out such a valuable spiritual object?

The jade box was closed again, and Hei Xuan Zhenren chuckled and said, "It is really a rare spiritual object. I need to spend some time to study it carefully."

"Then thank you for your concern, Elder." Lin Qianzong looked at Master Hei Xuan and replied with a smile.

"Qianzong, how is your small business in the south?"

Master Hei Xuan, who received the third-level Changchun Longevity Bamboo, had a smile on his face and began to care about the younger generation.

"With the elders' care, sales are still good."

Lin Qianzong thought for a moment and spoke, "With my clan in charge of the South Sea, the sea creatures of the Wanxing Sea dare not act recklessly. I heard that the Xuanhai Sect's Grand Elder is going to come out in person. Once the so-called Sky-Suppressing Leader is..."

True Man Hei Xuan looked at Lin Qianzong with a smile, which made Lin Qianzong lower his head and dare not look directly at him.

"Qian Zong, your ancestor and I have known each other for many years, there is no need to be so restrained."

"Xuanhai Sect's Fu Hai Zhenren has advanced to the Golden Core Great Perfection for a long time."

Immediately, Hei Xuan Zhenren changed the subject, "Alas... the entire South Sea area, with the sea tribe making trouble, has only our Yunshang Sect's Mo Long Patriarch as the pillar of stability to support it. It is really difficult to move forward."

Hearing the voice, Lin Qianzong's eyes lit up.

Done!

The business can continue.

The purpose of his coming today was to hear the attitude of Master Hei Xuan.

Although he is an outer sect elder of the sect, True Man Hei Xuan has deep connections within the sect and is able to know some secret information.

Xuanhai Sect's Fu Hai Zhenren, who is one of the few Jindan Great Perfection cultivators, has now personally taken action to suppress the Chengtian Alliance. Everyone feels that the sect wars in Wanxinghai are about to be settled.

But he had just received a new batch of resources from the sect.

In addition, here in Cape Fairy City, we receive a batch from the black market every month.

When sent to the southern sects' conquest areas, elixirs, talismans, and magical instruments are all in great demand.

In just a few years, in order to suppress the troublesome Chengtian League, the Xuanhai Sect issued a military merit system, and would reward merits with spiritual stones and spiritual objects every once in a while.

When monks have spirit stones, they will buy elixirs for cultivation and magic weapons for self-defense.

It would be a shame to stop such a good business with such convenient conditions.

Now he had received confirmation from Hei Xuan Zhen that his ideas coincided with some ideas in the sect that could not be made public.

It seems that I can still make money from these spirit stones.

"Qian Zong, I haven't asked you about your business for such a long time. How is it going? Do you have any practical difficulties?"

Hearing Master Hei Xuan mention this again, Lin Qianzong lowered his head and cursed in his heart.

Can’t Changchun Longevity Bamboo satisfy your appetite?

Seeing Lin Qianzong keeping silent, Master Hei Xuan kept smiling.

During the years he was stationed in the Cape Fairy City, the sect wanted to recruit him back to the sect to serve as an inner sect elder more than once, but he declined.

For one reason, it's too fat here.

There are too many people in the sect who are eyeing the fat piece of meat of Cape Fairy City.

Cultivating immortals requires resources. Without spirit stones, how can one advance to the Golden Elixir stage or the Nascent Soul stage?

A Ziwei Xingji Pill that can advance from the late Jindan stage to the great perfection costs several million spirit stones.

The Infant-Forming Pill is even more priceless.

Magical treasures, elixirs, which one does not require spiritual stones?

Being an inner sect elder in a sect, waiting for spirit stones to fall from the sky?

How can we make progress then?

At this time, Lin Qianzong gritted his teeth and said, "Elder, I am just an errand boy. Let me tell you the truth. Senior Brother Yuanfeng asked me to give this longevity bamboo to you."

"Master-nephew Yuanfeng?"

True Man Hei Xuan raised his eyebrows, then burst into laughter.

"Then I won't ask any more questions. It seems that Junior Brother Yuanfeng wants to compete for the position of the sect's true successor?"

As a Nascent Soul sect, the Yunshang Sect has a total of nine positions for true disciples.

Every true disciple must have the cultivation level of Golden Core, which is the Nascent Soul seed cultivated by the sect.

The supreme elders of the Yunshang Sect in all generations were true disciples.

True Man Hei Xuan also understood. No wonder Lin Qianzong came to get his opinion.

If he were a true disciple in the sect, his status would be higher than that of an elder like him, and he would not even need to try to get information, as he would be able to see through the sect's will.

But the disciples who are preparing to compete for the true teachings have not yet reached that status, and they offer such precious spiritual objects because they are afraid that this way of earning spirit stones in the Ten Thousand Star Sea will be cut off.

Without spirit stones, how can you fight for the position of true disciple?

After much thought, Hei Xuan decided that he should give some face to this younger cultivator who was gaining popularity in the sect.

As long as the war gets bigger and bigger, why worry about not making any spirit stones?

…

The sea outside Cape Fairy City.

Shen Lian returned in the spirit boat. After his earth spirit root was perfected, the Tianyan Earth Realm was derived. The talismans he drew could also be expanded, and he no longer had to be restricted to the fire element.

Cape Fairy City is really a good place. In just over a year, he has already earned more than 200,000 spirit stones and purchased hundreds of spiritual items, including medicinal herbs, minerals, poisons and other types.

The plan of earning spirit stones in a low-key manner and practicing quietly was carried out very smoothly in the Cape Fairy City.

Of course, cultivation is the main business, and earning spirit stones is just a side job.

…

Half a year later.

On the second floor of Anxin Grocery Store, Shen Lian was busy packaging the pills he had made.

Recently, the sect war in the central waters of Wanxing Sea in the south has become more and more intense.

Rumor has it that even the Xuanhai Sect's most powerful weapon, Fu Hai Zhenren, was deployed, but the Chengtian Alliance still managed to hold on.

It is said...it is said that when Master Fu Hai was about to destroy the Cheng Tian Alliance, a mysterious man suddenly appeared and repelled Master Fu Hai.

It is also said that... this mysterious person is a helper invited by the Chengtian Alliance.

There are also reports that Master Fu Hai was injured.

True Man Fu Hai took a small step back, but it was equivalent to Xuan Hai Sect taking a big step back.

The Chengtian Alliance took advantage of the situation to expand, and countless forces, both large and small, were brought under its wing. One third of the Xuanhai Sect's sea area fell into the hands of the Chengtian Alliance.

Since then, the fifth first-level Jindan force has appeared in Wanxinghai.

It is said that several major sects in the central waters of the Wanxing Sea have all been involved in this conquest.

Shen Lian didn't have the chance to see with his own eyes whether this was true.

Anyway, his pills are selling better and better. The shipment volume is more than double that of last year and is still rising.

As long as the elixir appears in the ghost market, no matter its quality, grade, or type, there will be people who buy it.

Several puppet talismans are busy every day just changing their identities and locations.

Today I can only update two chapters with 10,000 words. After Er Yang some time ago, every time I caught a cold, I had a fever. It rained for two days, the day before yesterday, and I caught a cold last night and had diarrhea. I haven't been in a good mental state all day today, so I'm going to rest early today.

(End of this chapter)
