Just two simple sentences, accompanied by Wu Jiang's friendly smile.

"Take your time to look around, fellow Daoist. If you need any spiritual items, just tell me. I'll give you a 10% discount."

There are many spiritual objects unique to the sea clan, such as some spiritual medicines in the water, which are also of great help to other races. For example, there is a spiritual medicine called Cordyceps sinensis, which can be used to refine blood and soul fusion pills.

This pill can allow cultivators at the Jindan level who are trying to take over another body to increase the affinity between their soul and flesh after taking over the body, and to gain faster control over the body.

Although cultivators will be baptized by thunder when they take over another person's body, for some possessed persons with extremely strong willpower, even if their souls are annihilated, some resentment will still remain in their bodies, secretly resisting the possessor's control over their bodies.

However, this kind of resistance is useless. The person who possesses the body only needs to spend time to completely eliminate the remaining breath. This elixir is to accelerate the fusion process.

Wu Jiang showed enough patience and waited quietly for Shen Lian to explore the information in the jade scales.

After a long time, the Merit Clone withdrew his divine thoughts, "Red Refined Golden Ginseng, Fire Sun Spirit Leaf, Snow Jade Bone Ginseng, Bone Flower, Yellow Lotus Essence..."

Although he didn't know why the sea people had fire-attributed elixirs, Shen Lian was not polite at all. He directly instructed the Merit Clone to name more than 30 types of elixirs.

The best quality of these spiritual medicines are only fourth-grade mid-quality ones, and there are also some third-grade spiritual medicines. They are all rare herbs needed for elixirs in Shen Lian's memory.

"Daoyou, please wait a moment."

Wu Jiang nodded in greeting and left the attic to get the elixir he had just obtained.

The Merit Clone looked out the window at Hailing Island. The relationship between the sea race and the human race was not cordial. In other immortal cultivation circles, conflicts and fights often broke out between the two races.

The former Sea Spirit Immortal Cultivation World was also a place for many races to cultivate immortals, but now only the sea race is left, and some aquatic races that depend on the sea race.

The sea clan, which unified the sea spirit cultivation world, closed the cultivation world to the outside world. Any foreigners who forcibly broke into the sea spirit cultivation world would be killed by the sea clan.

Hailing Island is the sea people’s window to the outside world, but there are several famous robbers roaming around Hailing Island.

These monks specialize in dealing with foreign chambers of commerce and monks traveling to and from Hailing Island.

The reason for this situation is that the giant ships do not dock at Hailing Island every day, and there are often changes in the docking time of the giant ships.

This forced many monks to either stay and wait, but the stay of foreign monks on Hailing Island was limited in time. When the stay time was up, they could only go to other deserted islands near the mainland to wait.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that these robbers have a close relationship with the sea people, otherwise why would the sea people come up with rules to restrict the monks from staying there.

But what can be done about it? The spiritual objects unique to the sea clan can be sold at a high price as long as they can be transported back. Many nearby forces in the immortal cultivation world will send their monks to purchase a large number of low-level spiritual objects from the sea clan.

From the more distant world of immortal cultivation, high-level Nascent Souls would also travel across the void to come.

When Wu Jiang came back, the Merit Clone still paid the bill with the Blood Spirit Pill. When he was about to leave Hailing Pavilion, he had a bronze plate covered with fish scales in his hand, indicating that he was a mid-level distinguished guest of Hailing Pavilion.

With this sign, there is no time limit for staying on Hayling Island.

After finding a place to stay, Shen Lian had no intention of staying here for long. Unfortunately, the huge ship he came with had already left. It depended on his luck whether another huge ship would dock next time.

Shen Lian, who obtained the old clam pearl, hid in the meteorite cave and began to refine the water essence in preparation for refining the Haisheng Mingyue Pill.

Under the night.

The sky above the entire Hailing Island was sparkling with the reflection of the sea water, and the dark blue light was reflected in every corner below. Even the clone of merit who was practicing in the house had ripples on his body.

Inside the meteorite cave.

Three clam pearls were suspended in front of Shen Lian, enveloped by an illusory black and white flame. The essence of water with a black gas was seeping out of the slowly rotating clam pearls.

“Buzz!”

Clam pearls are water elves, containing tremendous vitality.

However, Shen Lian frowned.

In the perception, the essence of water extracted from the clam pearls had undergone changes.

The essence of pure water is black, but the outer black air that seeps out at this moment has a hint of grayish white at the edge. This breath is closer to the scene of withered grass and yellowing, and life fading away.

The divine consciousness slowly stretched out a big hand, absorbed the essence of water and brought it forward, separating the gray and black colors bit by bit.

After confirming again, Shen Lian could be sure that the interior of the clam pearl also gave rise to the breath of withering and decay.

Clam pearls are nurtured bit by bit over a long period of time by the clam clan. Their quality is naturally closely related to the cultivation level and physical condition of the clam clan monks.

The clam pearls showed signs of decay, which was enough to indicate that there were also problems with the clam cultivators.

The water essence extracted from the three clam pearls, after removing the grayish-white aura of decay, only a fist-sized ball remained. If it was used to refine the Haisheng Mingyue Pill, it would need to be refined again, so the quantity would be insufficient.

A few days later.

The merit clone who was sitting cross-legged and practicing suddenly took out a furnace and began to release red flames to perform a ritual.

He was fully focused on putting various elixirs into the alchemy furnace, and was completely absorbed in refining the elixir.

One month later.

The alchemy furnace that was slowly rotating in the red fire suddenly exploded with a ball of alchemy fire, and the blood-stained alchemy furnace was blown away. The Merit Clone rushed out of the fire covered in dust and stared at the scene with an unsightly expression for a long time.

Finally, he put the alchemy furnace away and flew towards Hailing Pavilion.

As for why he chose to direct and act in the film himself, it was mainly because he noticed that there was something wrong with Hailing Island.

…

"Friend Hei Daoist, alchemy is like practicing, so there will be mistakes."

Wu Jiang placed the three clam pearls in front of the Merit Clone, and then said: "Daoyou, the cave in the southern part of Hailing Island has the most spiritual energy. Daoyou can change to a new cave to settle down."

"Thank you very much."

In Hailing Pavilion, watching the Merit Clone flying towards the southern part of the island, Wu Jiang's figure flashed through the numerous spiritual restrictions and walked into a dark room.

Subsequently, Wu Jiang's aura changed, and fine scales appeared on his face.

"You did that?"

On the screen wall deep in the dark room, there is a picture of raging sea waves.

Then, a faint light flashed and a voice was heard.

"No, how would I know that this alchemist would open a furnace to refine pills directly on the island? His craftsmanship is not good enough and he blew up the furnace himself. What does it have to do with me? I have to cover the entire Hailing Island, so I don't have the energy to pay special attention to an alchemist."

Amid the roar of the waves, the shadow of a dragon with a long fish tail emerged.

"You want to keep him here?"

The Jiao man sneered, "A fourth-level blood pill master is quite useful. You can keep him if you want."

“Why keep it? The Blood Spirit Pills this person took out are of the fourth-grade upper grade. Although Blood Spirit Pills are easier to condense than normal pills of the same grade, it also shows that this person is at least a fourth-grade middle-grade Blood Pill Master.

The key does not lie in the grade of his alchemy, but the fact that he can refine the fourth-grade top-grade Blood Spirit Pill. Behind it, there is at least a high-level blood field of living creatures as a resource supply area. This is enough to show that the power behind this blood alchemist is not simple, and not everyone has the ability to transform a cultivation world into a blood field.

Moreover, the Abyss Sea Beast was somewhat afraid of him, which showed the strength of this alchemist, or the unknown means he had, and he was not someone who could be easily defeated. "

Wu Jiang waved his hand, "Okay, have you chosen a target?"

Then, the dragon man stretched out a hand from the screen wall and handed over a jade slip.

"Take a look. These are the targets I selected for monitoring Hailing Island this time. There are three in total. According to their communication, they are all from forces more than a dozen regions away from our Hailing Immortal Cultivation World."

Wu Jiang grabbed the jade slip and took a look at it. "Min Xiuxianjie cannot move this month. The Sea Abyss Beast sensed that one of the cultivators leading the group had an unclear aura, and most likely he has a fifth-level method hidden. The remaining two caravans can move."

"Okay, I'll arrange for someone to give it a try."

The dragon man disappeared into the mural again.

Wu Jiang crushed the jade slip, his expression calm.

The jade slip records the number of foreign forces coming to Hailing Island, their strength levels, specific origins, etc., as well as how to figure this out.

It's very simple, because the entire Hailing Island is a huge spiritual treasure. Any cultivator who stays on the island will be killed unless you transmit your spiritual thoughts or speak.

As long as you enter Hailing Island, you will be under the all-round surveillance of the sea people.

In other words, you will become a fish in the sea clan's fish pond. The sea clan will identify and select targets through monitoring information.

Because of the strong intelligence support and the cooperation of the sea creatures in the Hailing Pavilion, the black-eating-black business has been booming over the years, and the profits that can be earned for the Sea Clan Royal Court have increased by 20% every year.

The merit clone who had replaced the cave abode did not start refining the elixir again in the following period of time. Instead, he adjusted his breathing to adjust the physical injuries caused by the previous alchemy.

Sometimes, he would stare at the void flickering with faint blue light, or study the recipe of elixir.

And so, another half a month passed.

A huge black flying city shaped like a city was docked outside Hailing Island.

In the center of the city, there is also a tall stone tower standing. This huge city in the sky also belongs to Tsutenkaku.

When the Merit Clone stopped at the giant city, it flew into the giant city.

After leaving Hailing Island, Shen Lian, who was hiding in the cave, breathed a sigh of relief.

The Merit Clone can sense the heaven and earth. Although it did not detect anything specifically, it always felt like something was watching.

Since they were on someone else's territory, Shen Lian did not let his merit clone move around. After noticing something unusual, he restrained himself and practiced according to the habits of a normal alchemist.

…

The eighth month after reaching the giant city.

There was a crisp sound of a furnace opening in the cave, and two round, transparent elixirs emitting a hazy halo were caught in Shen Lian's hands.

The Sea Rising Moon Pill was made! After putting the two pills into the jade box, the next step was to find a place to transcend the tribulation.
