Thinking of his son Dahei, Shen Lian felt a little worried. He hoped that Sanqian's experience could be used on Dahei.
"Fifteen thousand spirit stones."
Through the transparent crystal cover, Shen Lian checked the black phoenix egg inside again.
The Black Phoenix, as a demon beast that is the descendant of the Golden Crow and the Fire Phoenix, is a natural fire-eating beast. He then wondered whether his Tianyan Fire Domain could have any effect on it.
etc!
Suddenly, Shen Lian had an idea.
Tianyan Fire Region, Black Phoenix Egg.
The big black son, Tianyan Earth Domain.
Why didn't he think of it earlier?
Tianyan Earth Realm magical powers are used to draw various earth-based talismans, even the Hou Tu Contract talisman has been drawn.
Since the magical power that comes from the perfect birth of spiritual roots has an effect on talismans and spirit puppets, it should also have an effect on spirit pets.
Seeing Shen Lian staring at the black phoenix eggs, the shopkeeper in the flowery robe suddenly felt that the opportunity to sell the black phoenix eggs had come.
"Fellow Daoist, it seems that you really like this black phoenix egg. Alas... I will give you 40,000 spirit stones."
"Twenty thousand."
Shen Lian looked up at the shopkeeper, then turned and walked out.
If a complete black phoenix egg is put at an auction, it may be sold for hundreds of thousands of spirit stones or even more.
However, all the spiritual objects that land at the auction have undergone layers of inspection to ensure that they can be hatched perfectly, and that their bloodlines are intact to ensure the probability of advancement to the third level.
There is no such thing as a bargain at an auction, that's called great value for money.
"Wait, fellow Taoist, you are digging out the flesh of my heart."
Seeing Shen Lian turning around and leaving, the old man in flowery robe reached out his hand to try to stop him.
"This is the descendant of the third-level demon king, add some more."
“No.”
Shen Lian left a word without looking back and continued to walk out.
The price of the monster is one thing, but the subsequent cultivation after hatching will consume countless resources. If you fail to cultivate it by then, you will suffer a huge loss.
"Wait, I'll give it to you."
The old shopkeeper in flowery robe thought about it quickly and decided that it would be better to take action.
It has been left here for such a long time with no one paying attention to it. In order to ensure the spirituality of the black phoenix egg, he has to melt the spirit stone to nourish it every ten days or half a month.
Taking into account the cost of defensive restrictions, it is really a money-losing product.
As for hatching it by itself, that is even more ridiculous.
He practiced water magic, which was inherently in conflict with fire magic. A black phoenix egg, whose original aura was already weak, would be suffocated to death before it could hatch.
"Fellow Daoist, I am alone and helpless, and I only have this small shop. Can you give me some more?"
Seeing Shen Lian coming back, the shopkeeper removed the restriction on the crystal light shield while making a pitiful look.
"Sell it or not?"
“Sell, sell.”
The shopkeeper took out the black phoenix egg and handed it to Shen Lian.
…
"Old Man Hua's eggs were finally sold."
In the shop opposite, two old men poked their heads out and huddled together whispering.
"Okay, it's not a loss. I picked up a monster egg from a volcano that erupted on the seabed. What else can I expect if I can sell it for 20,000 spirit stones? Do you want to sell it for the price of a treasure ship?"
"That's right."
The two old men huddled together, muttering and pointing at the old man in flowery robe. Although they spoke in a low voice, everyone present were foundation-building cultivators and could not hear clearly.
"What are you two old fools mumbling about?"
The shopkeeper in flowery robe was not polite either. He grabbed two large shells from his storage bag and threw them towards the opposite side.
"Yo yo yo, now that the business is open, you have to speak in a tough manner. Don't mess with me."
"Tsk tsk, it's different. We haven't been open for many days. Lao Hua is not the same kind of person as us."
The two old men who were in the foundation-building stage opposite were also old scoundrels. They grabbed the flying shells and broke them open directly, then opened their mouths and sucked them into their mouths with a slurp.
"No, Lao Hua, your shell is dry and there is no water at all. You are worse than those young people who are sending happiness on the first floor."
"That's enough. Just have some shellfish to eat. Why are you being so picky?"
"Old Hua, you have 20,000 spirit stones. Would you like to ask our old brother to go to the first floor and break the hip axis of the young man?"
…
After buying the black phoenix eggs, Shen Lian walked out of the store and did not go towards the guest room area on the third floor.
Just by looking at the foundation-building monks sitting cross-legged in the square area on the second floor, you can tell how expensive the guest rooms on the third floor will be.
Everyone was squatting on the second floor, so there was no need for him to show his face.
Besides, if I stay on the second floor without using my spiritual power, I can hear more news and watch the show at the same time.
"You old rascal, how old are you, and you still want to eat seafood?"
After finishing his business, the old shopkeeper in flowery robe walked out of his shop, put his hands on his hips and cursed at the two old men opposite.
"Eat, eat. I'm going to treat you guys to cuttlefish today."
As he spoke, the shopkeeper in flowery robe actually took out a big black cuttlefish from his storage device, pointed it at the two old men in the shops opposite, and pinched the cuttlefish's ink sac.
"I only eat abalone, not cuttlefish."
The two old men in the shop opposite were not easy to deal with either. They each took out a large shell, blocked the outside of the shop, and hid behind the shells while shouting and cursing.
…
At this moment, Shen Lian glanced at the shops on the second floor and found that there was no movement. Even the other foundation-building cultivators who were sitting cross-legged nearby did not show much concern about the situation.
Obviously, it is normal for these three old men to do this.
"Fellow Daoist, Senior Ban Dan's cave residence is within a 300-li radius. Are you sure you don't want to take a look?"
Just as Shen Lian was watching the show, the monk who had sold the treasure map before came closer again.
In response, he simply closed his eyes.
The monk who was selling the treasure map looked embarrassed and quickly returned to his original position.
The Fangshi ship went northward and entered the Fuqiu sea area again. More and more monks were traveling on the Fangshi ship.
It would take at least several years for a ship from Fangshi to dock once it went out to sea, so when Shen Lian saw more and more cultivators, he wanted to leave.
We finally arrived at the South China Sea.
This journey was really... I just wrote it down in a small notebook.
…
After Shen Lian calculated the calculation of the spirit stones, he summoned his own spirit boat and flew out of the market ship.
Just as he left, another figure walked out of the market.
On the deck, steward Liu Yun looked at the figure that walked out afterwards, squinting his eyes as if looking at the sea.
The Fuqiu sea area is so large, and there are so many ships in the market, there will always be some people who will do some side jobs.
The market on the second floor.
"Lao Hua, maybe the black phoenix egg you sold will come back soon."
The two old men who had previously exchanged insults with the shopkeeper in flowery robes, now had their chins supported by their hands, leaning against the counter, communicating with each other through voice transmission.
"I don't do shady business."
Shopkeeper Hua shook his head and said, "Of course, if someone comes to me to sell spiritual objects, I won't care where the spiritual objects come from."
"Tsk... I knew you were no good, old man. Last time you made 20,000 spirit stones, you treated us to a meal of abalone worth 100 spirit stones. The young man's hip joints were broken so hard that they are almost covered with calluses."
"That's right. If Wu Fengdan comes back again and the ship docks, you invite us to the city. I want to order the fattest seafood."
"It's a pity for that unfamiliar Taoist friend. His Taoist journey will be buried in this vast ocean. What kind of seafood do you like?"
…
After leaving Liujiafang City Boat,
Shen Lian immediately realized that someone was following him from behind. It was the cultivator who had sold the half-elixir cave treasure map before.
It turns out that she had tried hard to sell him the treasure map before, but she had no good intentions.
Just after crossing the ocean and arriving in the South China Sea, Shen Lian encountered a cultivator with ancestral skills. Shen Lian was also scratching his head. Could it be that he was bullied because he was an outsider? This cultivator was at the seventh level of foundation building. When chasing him, he deliberately changed his appearance and even went through the sea water.
There were also cultivators hanging around the place where the boat left the market, and Shen Lian did not drive the spirit boat too hard, so this guy was able to keep up from a distance.
I don’t know if it’s because he was on a boat in the market town, but the treasure map monk didn’t drop any flying insects or dust on him.
Of course, it is also possible that he is confident. As a cultivator at the seventh level of Foundation Establishment, he feels that he has a sure win when dealing with a cultivator at the fifth level of Foundation Establishment.
Since he was asking for death, Shen Lian accepted it.
When we arrived at an uninhabited sea area, the job was done quickly and efficiently.
His soul was searched, his bones were crushed and his ashes were scattered. He was at the seventh level of foundation building and was not even worthy of the treatment given to him by the great shaman. He was soon reduced to ashes at the bottom of the sea.
After a soul search, it was found that the monk with the treasure map was named Zhao Qian, and the so-called half-dan monk's cave in his hand was also fake.
In addition, Zhao Qian is not alone. He has a brother who is at the ninth level of foundation building and is hiding in the sea area where the fake cave is located.
The location depicted on the map shows a very complex terrain under the sea. It is true that a ninth-level Foundation Establishment cultivator had perished in that area, and the two brothers used this information to create a fake cave.
The two men divided the work between them, one lured the monks to go treasure hunting, and the other was responsible for waiting.
This time, Zhao Qian stayed on Liujiafangshi boat for so long but didn't find a suitable target, so he prepared to change to another Fangshi boat to continue setting the trap.
As for Shen Lian, he wanted to make some money while he was preparing to change ships.
Originally, Shen Lian was ready to leave after killing Zhao Qian, but when he looked through his memories, he found that the two brothers were doing a no-cost business just to raise money to buy a third-level meteorite secret pill.
Zhao Qian's brother Zhao Shui has the dual spiritual roots of top-grade gold and water. They were originally disciples of a sect, but because they both fell in love with their junior sister and did some despicable things, they had to go to the sea to do a no-cost business.
It must be said that apart from his character, Zhao Shui still has a chance to be promoted to the Golden Elixir level.
He didn't care about Zhao Shui's character at all, but only focused on his probability of being promoted to the Golden Elixir stage.
Shen Lian checked the nautical chart and luckily it wasn't too far and would only take an extra half a month.
Kill him.
…
Half a month later.
In Fuqiu Sea, on a treasure ship sailing northward.
An ordinary middle-aged male cultivator was lying on the bed with his eyes squinted.
It was Shen Lian who killed Zhao Shui.
As a cultivator with dual spiritual roots of gold and water, who was in the upper-grade category and was engaged in a business with no capital investment, his combat power was indeed very strong and he had consumed a set of his No. 3 talisman formation.
But the gains were still considerable.
I gave Saitama 150,000 spirit stones before in order to escape. Now not only have I got it all back, but I also have more than 100,000 spirit stones left.
In addition, killing Zhao Shui also relieved a lot of his resentment. Although he couldn't defeat the white-robed cultivator, he felt relieved by seeing his peers building their foundation.
In addition to harvesting a large number of spirit stones, many spiritual objects also became Shen Lian's collection reserves. Unfortunately, there was nothing in them that caught his eye.
By searching the souls of the two brothers, he also gained a lot of understanding about the South China Sea.
There are no large islands in the Fuqiu Sea, only some second-level fairy cities, and no cities inhabited by mortals.
Every few years, there would be an outbreak of monsters or attacks by large numbers of sea monks.
Every beast tide or sea creature attack is both dangerous and an opportunity for cultivators.
During a beast tide more than 500 years ago, many sea creatures were washed to the coastal areas because the waves rising from the deep sea were too strong.
That was also one of the rare great and satisfying victories for the human cultivators. Faced with the spiritual creatures rushing towards them, even the cultivators in the inland were alarmed.
That battle was really exciting.
The monks chased the monsters into the Siren Sea and almost overturned the Siren Island chain.
This fully demonstrates that as long as the resources are in place, the Siren can also defeat you.
Whatever the case, whether he is a demon king or not, who among the Jindan Zhenren doesn’t want to own a piece of real fur.
Later, the matter became so serious that even the Great Demon King of the Ten Thousand Demon Realm came out, and the matter was finally controlled.
Because of this incident, the Yunshang Sect was secretly cursed by countless cultivators in the South China Sea.
As a Yuanying sect, you were able to hold up a heavy burden even though the sky was falling, but in the end you were subdued by the demon clan. If you don’t get scolded, who will?
He wiped his palm across the storage bracelet, and a sea chart appeared in his hand. It was taken out from Zhao Shui's storage magic weapon.
The archipelago map records the Fuqiu Sea area and coastal waters. The most eye-catching location on the chart is marked with the words "Nan Ya".
Nanya Fairy City is the largest fairy city at the southernmost tip of the South China Sea continent. The final destination of the Deep Sea Spirit Ship we boarded was here.
Unfortunately, the Deep Sea Spirit Ship sank.
By capturing memories, Shen Lian did not find any information about the previous spirit ship sinking to the Siren Island, which was also expected.
Either all the other cultivators on the spirit ship were killed, or the sect behind the spirit ship was silenced.
It would take at least several months to reach Nanya Immortal City from the current sea location. The spiritual power in Shen Lian’s dantian has been fully accumulated.
He had crossed the Siren Island Chain before and was impacted by demonic energy. He also killed a ninth-level foundation-building cultivator. He planned to find a place to settle down first and then advance to the sixth-level foundation-building cultivator.
A few days later, an island appeared in front of the treasure ship.
The island on the nautical chart is called Moon Floating Island.
The entire outer circle of the island is in a state of bumpy and broken soil. Due to the long time, the collapsed soil and rocks are now covered with aquatic creatures.
According to records, the destruction of the outer perimeter of the island was the work of the sea people.
In order to prevent human forces from penetrating into the ocean, the sea people destroyed the islands on the sea.
Destroy what can be destroyed, and if it cannot be destroyed, destroy the ground veins and area as much as possible.
Shen Lian originally wanted to find a deserted island to retreat for a short period of time, but it was not easy to find one, so he could only choose to stay on this Moon Floating Island temporarily.
After the realm is promoted, rush to Nanya Immortal City.
