As spring turned to autumn and many copies of plant cultivation jade slips appeared in the markets of Kunyang Domain, Dalin Domain and other places. The increasing number of jade slips also allowed more cultivators to get in touch with the art of plant cultivation.

The mountains and forests at the junction of the three regions of Kunyang have now become a mountain range of spiritual plants in the eyes of low-level cultivators.

As the name suggests, in the mountains and fields within this area of ​​tens of thousands of miles, there are first- and second-level, and occasionally third-level spiritual plants popping up everywhere, attracting more and more cultivators to go treasure hunting.

Even if you don't follow the path of plant cultivation, the spiritual energy in low-level spiritual plants is more powerful than that in spiritual stones, and can be used for cultivation to some extent.

This situation also attracted some fourth-level Nascent Soul cultivators to frequently enter the Spiritual Plant Mountain Range, wanting to see if they could find fourth-level spiritual plants or something.

In a dilapidated cave at the foot of an inconspicuous hill on the edge of the Lingzhi Mountains.

Surrounded by the spiritual confinement, there was an extremely bright spiritual light surging. Shen Lian, who was sitting cross-legged in the center of the cave, was like a huge fireball, emitting a warm breath.

Faintly, one could sense three round balls of fire above his head and on both sides of his shoulders.

This is a state where essence, energy and spirit are gathered to the peak of perfection.

At this moment, as long as Shen Lian was willing, he could trigger the divine tribulation.

After a moment, the three balls of fire on his body were drawn into his body, and Shen Lian's figure disappeared in the cave and entered the Meteorite Cave.

This blessing from God, covering an area of ​​3,600 miles, has been transformed by him into many parts.

The medicine garden, the treasury, the alchemy room, the instrument room, the talisman pavilion, the spirit beast garden, etc.

In a corner of the Spirit Beast Garden, in an area of ​​more than ten miles confined by a formation, two groups of spirit insects took root in two directions, colliding and fighting with each other.

The reproduction rate of bone moth insects is much slower than that of black-horned ants, and their talent and strength are also stronger than those of black-horned ants. However, relying solely on their bloodline background, they still overwhelmed the black-horned ants in this confrontation.

Under the coordination of Big Black, black-horned ants are born continuously.

During the confrontation between the two groups, some black-horned ants and bone moth insects gathered together under the influence of a special estrus potion, but unfortunately, there was no rain and no new life could be born.

"Master, please give me some medicine and I will do it myself."

Shen Lian checked the situation in the cultivation garden, but he was not in a hurry. If the bone moth insects could be tamed successfully, it would still be of great use even if they advanced to the God Transformation stage or even broke through the Void Refinement stage in the future.

It is not so easy to cross-breed this kind of strange pet.

"Let's try to capture some other types of spirit insects."

Anyway, it's all hybridization, whether it's two bloodlines or dozens or hundreds of bloodlines mixed together, there's no difference.

No group in the world of immortal cultivation dares to say that their bloodline is pure, and no one knows what their ancestors, who are quite aesthetic, have done.

After comforting Dahei, Shen Lian left the cave.

After restraining the aura he left in the Spiritual Plant Mountain Range, he began to quietly travel through several regions in the southwest of Yueling Continent, and along the way, he spread the copied plant cultivation method in various markets and immortal cities.

In addition, a batch of well-cultivated low-level spiritual plants were released into the mountains and forests, and the group also entered the medicinal gardens and spiritual plant gardens of some small forces to help these small forces cultivate some spiritual plants.

It is not time for the ferry to arrive yet, so the 108 forces on the Yueling Continent are still stable on the surface.

But this is the Yueling Continent, which gathers cultivators from all over the world. There are always cruel and ruthless people from different races and forces, and the killing can be said to have never stopped for a day.

Shen Lian ignored all of this. He quietly crossed through one area after another, passed by one fairy city after another, selected targets one by one, and turned them into plant cultivators.

…

In the blink of an eye, ten years later.

Southeast of Yueling Immortal Realm.

"Let's set sail. Fellow Taoists, hold on tight."

Relying on the edge of a giant island outside the continent, a huge ship as big as a whale flew across the sky. With a slight tremor, the void in all directions was shattered, and the ripples formed hit the defense formation on the giant island.

This giant ship that looks like a giant whale should be called a flying city. It is over three hundred miles in size. The strange thing is that there is a huge nine-story black tower a thousand feet in size above the giant whale's forehead.

The black tower is covered with purple lines, exuding a strong sense of oppression.

The giant ship moved across the sky like a small continent moving horizontally, and crashed into the vast starry sky.

"The outer space is becoming more and more dangerous. Even a great cultivator like me in the late Nascent Soul stage can only rely on giant ships to travel between the major cultivation worlds."

In a shared cave, three figures sat cross-legged and sighed.

"Who says it's not true? It's getting harder and harder to cross the void."

…

In another cave.

Shen Lian leaned back on the couch and squinted his eyes.

He spent more than ten years traveling through the 108 regions of the Yueling Continent, but in the end he failed to obtain the Old Clam Pearl.

Right now, there is only one way to find clam pearls, and that is to go to the Sea Spirit Cultivation Realm, which is the place where the sea people practice, and some tribes belonging to the water creatures are also very close to the sea people.

Therefore, Shen Lian prepared to go to the Hailing Immortal Realm to try his luck.

Of course, another important reason is that he is going to break through to the Spirit Transformation Realm next, and the Yueling Immortal Realm is not a good place to overcome the tribulation.

He also needs to choose a location for his next tribulation.

Seeing that his own energy and spirit were becoming more and more full, there was no point in wasting time any longer. He should refine the Haisheng Mingyue Pill as soon as possible and then reach the state of transformation.

Once he advances to the Divine Transformation stage, the bottleneck that is currently blocking his combat power improvement will be completely broken, and his combat power will be raised again.

If you want to try to possess another body again, you can just capture some old gods of the same level and use force to solve the problem.

Maybe forcing yourself won't win your heart, but at least it can quench your thirst.

There are many independent caves on the giant ship. Each one is not very big, only a hundred feet in radius, and is also equipped with a small alchemy room and weapon refining room.

Shen Lian naturally didn't care about these things. He was interested in this giant ship that spanned the void.

This giant warship belongs to Tongtian Pavilion, a super power in the world of immortal cultivation. It is the one that is as famous as the Exiled Immortal Tower and the Ascension Tower. This family has traces of it behind the scenes of the Eighteen Core Continents.

The grade of the giant warship reached the fifth grade, especially the black tower, the flickering spiritual ban reached the fifth grade lower grade.

If you want to go to the Hailing Immortal Realm from the Yueling Continent, you have to pass through seven other immortal realms on the way, and this giant ship will stop at every immortal realm.

Half a year later.

"My fellow Taoists, there is a thunderous waterfall ahead, please be prepared for defense."

Inside the cave, Shen Lian, who was busy offering sacrifices to the Fuyao Wood, was awakened by a sudden voice.

He did not use his divine sense, but directly opened the cave door and looked outside.

At the end of the void in front of the giant ship, a lightning light like a sky curtain gathered, blocking the path in front of the giant ship. The overwhelming lightning light seemed to be pouring down from the Nine Heavens.

In the lightning, the shadows of various thunder beasts emerged, and they let out terrifying roars and screams.

The crackling lightning quickly poured down on the giant ship, and the three hundred-mile-long ship suddenly became a swaying boat.

A colorful spiritual light formed above the giant ship, wrapping the giant ship in an oval egg.

"The celestial phenomenon I encountered in the void outside Tiannan before was still weak compared to this."

At this moment, the giant ship was traveling through the sea of ​​thunder. All the monks on the ship tried their best to restrain their breath and shrunk their necks like quails.

“Oh my god, if this continues, even Yuanying people like us won’t be able to leave our respective cultivation continents.”

"It's really getting harder and harder. A Yuanying who was crossing the void was killed by a celestial phenomenon. I never dared to imagine that this kind of thing was real."

…

The monks' wailing did not weaken the thunder in the slightest. After the waterfall of thunder had been chasing the giant ship and striking it for three months, an old voice was heard on the spirit ship.

"Fellow Daoists, in view of the lack of defensive resources for the spirit ship, please donate generously. For Yuanying in the early stage, each person should donate 300 high-quality spirit stones, and for Yuanying in the middle stage, each person should donate 1,000..."

This was the first time Shen Lian encountered a fare increase during a boat ride, and he was quite amused.

He did not try to be the first to take action. He took out a thousand spirit stones and handed them to the cultivator who came to the cave to collect the spirit stones.

Although he didn't know how many spirit stones the defensive spirit formation consumed, based on his years of experience in alchemy, the monks of Tongtian Pavilion on the giant ship were definitely not at a loss.

It's just that this job was done too roughly. The correct way should be to cooperate with the Nascent Soul Great Perfection monks on the giant ship.

Let the great perfect monks take the lead and donate a few hundred thousand first, and then rank the monks on the spirit ship from high to low according to their strength.

Finally, the spirit stones of the great perfection cultivator were returned in full, and the spirit stones of the other cultivators were divided 70% to 30%.

With huge ships coming and going, you can reap a crop of leeks with every trip, which is a sure way to get rich.

In short, with the spirit stones, the defense formation became bright again, allowing everyone to see that their spirit stones were not wasted.

After another half a month of travel, the giant ship finally broke out of the range of the thunder waterfall.

…

"My fellow Taoists, the Blood and Bone Quicksand Region is in danger, and the restrictions on the spirit ships are consuming too much. In view of the lack of defensive resources for the spirit ships, I ask all Taoists to donate generously. For the Nascent Soul Early Stage, each person can donate 300 high-quality spirit stones, and for the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, each person can donate 1,000..."

Two years later.

Shen Lian was once again awakened from silence by the sound of donations.

Now he understood why other people's work was so rough. It was because they simply didn't bother to use their brains.

How can you expect it to be convenient and quick just by opening your mouth?

He ordered the meal while standing.

What can you do to me?

Grass.

At this moment, the giant ship was surrounded by a mass of blood-red gravel. The boundless pulling force dragged the spirit ship into the sand pit, and it felt like it was about to be swallowed by quicksand.

Fortunately, the Hailing Immortal Cultivation World is approaching.

Unlike the marginal immortal cultivation worlds, the distance between the immortal cultivation worlds in the middle area is not that great. Even for an early Nascent Soul cultivator flying at full speed, it would only take two or three months to travel between the worlds.

However, there are too many crises in the void now, which affects the communication between each other, and the cultivators dare not cross the boundary without authorization.

…

In the vast void.

An endless expanse of water covered the void. From a distance, one could see a part of the water surface, as if it was cut horizontally, showing the cross-section to the void.

Inside the cross-section, fish, aquatic plants, mud, sand and reefs are clearly visible.

Below the surging water is an undulating seabed, supporting the boundless water.

Above it, there are islands formed by mountains rising above the water.

We have arrived at the Hailing Immortal Cultivation World.

This can be said to be the base camp of the sea clan in the entire world of immortal cultivation. Monks of other races are prohibited from forcing their way into the deep sea. Foreign monks mostly stay on the islands on the edge of the world of immortal cultivation, seeking to purchase spiritual objects unique to the sea clan.

It wasn't surprising for Shen Lian to come here.

Hayling Island.

A place for the sea people to communicate with the outside world.

As soon as he got off the giant ship, he was stopped by two Nascent Soul-level sea creatures with silver-scaled bodies and armor, and they gave him a small scale.

"You can only stay for a month. If you don't leave within a month, you will bear the consequences!"

"Except for Hailing Island, anyone who trespasses into other places without permission will be killed."

The two sea creatures at the Nascent Soul stage looked up and down at the old cultivator disguised as the Merit Clone, and their expressions did not show any respect for cultivators of higher levels.

The Merit Clone did not care about the two small sea creatures. Not to mention a month, even three days would not be enough. As long as he could buy the clam pearls, he could leave immediately.

If he hadn't gained anything in Yueling Continent, he wouldn't have traveled so far to Hailing Immortal Realm.

After all, the reputation of the Hailing Immortal Cultivation World is not very good.

Not only are there cultivators doing no-cost business around the Sea Spirit Cultivation World, but even the sea people themselves are shameless.

The shamelessness of the sea people is reflected in their monopoly of resources. Relying on their special spiritual objects of the sea people, they are just short of writing "No beating or scolding of foreign shoppers" on their storefronts.

Of course, this kind of scene not only exists in the sea people, but is also vividly reflected in some other races in the world of immortal cultivation that possess rare spiritual creatures.

Especially nowadays, the scarcity of resources has exacerbated this situation.

Having spirit stones is nothing; the one who has special resource channels is the boss.

Hailing Island is a thousand miles in radius, and there are not many monks traveling on the island. Among them, there are many monks from chambers of commerce under the banners of various parties.

The Merit Clone went straight towards a silver building on the island.

"Daoyou, what would you like to order?"

As soon as Shen Lian entered, he met a human cultivator, who was at the early Nascent Soul stage, but there was a slave mark on his forehead.

"Is this your first time to Hailing Island, fellow Daoist? I am Wu Jiang, the pet of Master Mo Gu of the Sea Clan's Royal Court, and I am appointed as the manager of Hailing Pavilion."

Wu Jiang was not at all worried because he was a slave, and led Shen Lian into an attic.

The talent of human cultivators is not outstanding among all the races in the universe, but the cunning of humans is very famous among all the races.

Therefore, in the chambers of commerce established by many races, some human pets will be trained as managers. Of course, they are just managers, and the senior management are all cultivators from the other race.

"I wonder what spiritual object Brother Hei wants?"

After leading Shen Lian to his seat, Wu Jiang had someone serve spiritual tea.

"Clam pearls."

Shen Lian changed his name to Heichi, and was not polite, nor did he have any intention of rescuing his fellow cultivators.

"Fourth-grade, top-grade."

"have."

Wu Jiang nodded, and then changed the subject, saying, "A fourth-grade, top-grade spiritual object is already at the top of the cultivation world, and it will not be easily sold in my Hailing Pavilion."

Shen Lian had thought of this a long time ago.

Before coming, he had inquired about the rumors about the sea tribe and was prepared for the idea of ​​bleeding.

"I wonder what conditions are required?"

"If you want to become a high-class honored guest of my Hailing Pavilion, you only need to purchase a spiritual object worth one million high-class spirit stones from my Hailing Pavilion, and you can be upgraded to a high-class honored guest."

Wu Jiang spoke softly. The sale of the fourth-grade and high-grade spiritual objects was no longer something he could decide. These things were kept in the sea clan's royal court and were also used as resources to exchange for important spiritual objects.

But there are exceptions to everything. Occasionally, a few high-level Nascent Soul cultivators come to buy things. You can't just turn away customers when you open a business.

Therefore, all the additional conditions came into being.

After hearing the request, the Merit Clone wanted to roll his eyes at Wu Jiang.

You have to know that he killed the Farmer Spirit Master and so many people of the same level, but the high-quality spirit stones he got were only more than 600,000 pieces.

If he wants to buy clam pearls now, he needs to spend one million here.

That’s really possible.

"Where are the fourth-grade, mid-quality clam pearls?"

"You just need to become a mid-level honorable guest. You can upgrade to a mid-level honorable guest by purchasing 300,000 high-level spirit stones from my Hailing Pavilion."

Wu Jiang spoke softly. Foreign cultivators came all the way to the sea clan's territory to purchase clam pearls. Even with the sea clan's extremely stupid minds, they could understand that this was something they urgently needed.

Clam pearls are the essence of water, with a warm scent and abundant essence. They are generally used to make elixirs, as medicine, or to heal wounds or even preserve the body.

It’s not that they can’t be used for cultivation, but using clam pearls for cultivation is not cost-effective and too wasteful.

In business, the more anxious others are, the faster you should swing your sickle.

Wu Jiang was already familiar with this kind of thing, and it had become a habit for him to do business with those foreign chambers of commerce. It was easier for him to take revenge than the gangster friend in front of him.

"Daoyou can buy the fourth-grade lower-quality clam pearls. There are no additional conditions. As long as you have spirit stones, you can buy them."

As Wu Jiang spoke, he observed the changes on the Merit Clone's face, preparing to serve him the right dish.

"How many spirit stones does a fourth-grade middle-quality clam pearl cost?"

"Depending on the quality of the pearl, it will cost between 50,000 and 150,000 high-quality spirit stones."

Hearing this, the Merit Clone frowned slightly. The price was a bit expensive.

"Fellow Daoist, there are no clam pearls outside at this time of year. These are all clam pearls from the sea."

"We run the Treasure Pavilion. How can we deceive you with raw melon beads?"

Seeing that the Merit Clone did not reply, Wu Jiang continued, "Daoyou, we in Hailing Pavilion have many channels. In addition to spiritual stones, we can also use spiritual treasures, spiritual pills, minerals, etc. to pay."

"Pay with mid-grade spirit stones."

Wu Jiang smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist, since we are both human, it is not easy for you to come to the Sea Spiritual Cultivation World. You can use 30% of the middle-grade spirit stones to pay for the spirit objects. After all, we are of the same race."

As he spoke, Wu Jiang stretched out three fingers and gestured.

In fact, it is the mainstream to use middle-grade spirit stones to pay for fourth-level spiritual objects. In front of top-level Nascent Soul and God Transformation ancestors, high-grade spirit stones are mostly circulated.

But who could have imagined that I would meet a fellow tribesman today?

His master holds an extraordinary status in the imperial court, otherwise he would not be able to work for his master as a steward in Hailing Pavilion.

But he is not the only pet under his master's command, so how can he have any status without achievements?

Besides, the business here is dominated by the sea people. After leaving this attic, other managers of Hailing Pavilion cannot take over this business.

"Look at the clam pearls first."

The Merit Clone did not pay attention to Wu Jiang's little action. How could he not guess this little thought?

A profiteer.

What a good pet.

"Wait a moment, fellow Taoist."

After an incense stick of time, Wu Jiang came back with a big shell in his hand.

As the scallop opened, a fist-sized, crystal clear clam pearl with a pool of sea water inside was placed in front of the Merit Clone.

The water light flashing inside the clam pearl formed a hazy water halo around it.

The Merit Clone picked up the clam pearl and sensed it bit by bit.

The quality of clam pearls comes from the water essence inside. If we have to settle for the fourth-grade top-quality ones, we should first see if the fourth-grade mid-quality clam pearls can extract higher quality essence.

After a thorough inspection, Shen Lian had a clear idea in his mind.

With his ability, he can completely purify the water essence in the clam pearls and synthesize essence energy that is no weaker than that of fourth-grade top-quality clam pearls.

The equivalents required to buy the fourth-grade top-quality clam pearls are too many and too eye-catching.

"I want three."

After putting the clam pearl back into the scallop, the Merit Clone began to take out spiritual objects.

He had a lot of Blood Spirit Pills, which were enough to pay the bill.

"Fellow Daoist, are you still a Blood Pill Master?"

Seeing Shen Lian take out so many Blood Spirit Pills, Wu Jiang's eyes lit up.

In the box in front of him, the Blood Spirit Pills ranged from the lower grade of the fourth stage to the upper grade of the fourth stage, emitting a strong smell of blood.

"Um."

The Merit Clone breathed out through his nostrils and pushed the Blood Spirit Pill away.

Caressing the Blood Spirit Pill, Wu Jiang's expression lit up with joy, "Fellow Daoist, I'll give you a 10% discount on this transaction. This is the maximum authority I have."

"In addition, the resource quota worth 300,000 high-quality spirit stones can also open up the trading rights of fourth-level spirit objects to fellow Taoists."

Wu Jiang smiled and said, "Don't blame me, I am just a handyman. The pavilion stipulates that only when the transaction amount reaches the value of 300,000 high-quality spirit stones can the sales rights of the fourth-level middle-quality spirit objects belonging to the sea clan be opened."

I have to say that Haizu is very good at bundling sales.

As he spoke, Wu Jiang took out a jade scale and handed it to Shen Lian.

"Fellow Daoist, please take a look. These are the spiritual objects that my Hailing Pavilion sells to the public, along with the relevant additional requirements."

After the divine consciousness of the Merit Clone sank into the jade scales, he was suddenly amazed.

First, the spiritual creatures of the sea clan are indeed very rare. Another thing is that behind these rare spiritual creatures, there are many various purchasing conditions attached.

For example, if you want to buy one of the spiritual objects, called the fourth-grade lower-quality sea silk ribbon, you will also need to purchase a batch of third-grade spiritual objects.

Almost anything that is scarce and of good quality is sold in bundles.

"Fourth-grade mid-level sea spirit coral jade... requires the purchase of three pieces of sea meteorite crystals of the same grade."

"A fourth-grade, mid-quality Moon Essence Clam Pearl requires the purchase of five pieces of the same-grade Sea Meteorite Crystals."

…

The ore called sea meteorite crystal cannot be used to refine weapons. Its main function is to pave the ground for water-attributed cultivators to gather water spiritual energy.

There is only one word to describe this thing: it is tasteless to eat and a pity to throw away.

"Fellow Daoist, these are the rules on the surface. Since you are a Blood Pill Master, we can discuss everything."

"Rules are set for outsiders to see."

Wu Jiang smiled and shouted to the outside, "Someone, bring some good tea."

"Daoyou, let's take a seat."

ps: One update today.
