Outside Black Whale Island.

There was an endless ocean, and no other monks appeared around.

Shen Lian, who was piloting the Flying Fish spirit boat, had a flash of spiritual light on his body and put the Flying Fish into the storage bag. Then, he had a flash of spiritual light on his body and flew into the air.

A cultivator who has established his foundation can fly in the air without relying on any magical tools.

After swaying on the sea for half a quarter of an hour, Shen Lian controlled his body, sometimes high, sometimes low, sometimes fast, sometimes slow.

I can fly now.

Speaking of which, he has hardly flown before, and has almost never used any magical weapons, mainly because he is afraid of conspicuousness.

After flying for a while, the Flying Fish was released.

"Next time you change your spirit boat, you should get one with a better grade, otherwise it will be obsolete soon."

The speed of the Flying Fish spirit boat is equivalent to that of a ninth-level Qi training cultivator riding a flying sword, but Shen Lian has already established his foundation, and this equipment can't keep up.

Save up some spirit stones and exchange them for it.

All the way to Black Rock Island, Sanqian, who was sensed by the situation, crawled out from the cracks in the deep water rocks.

“Pululu…”

In order to avoid being discovered by any cultivators, it has been hiding in deep water to practice. A storage bag filled with Soul-Feeding Pills is hung on its scales.

After letting Sanqian return to the water, Shen Lian went to Black Rock Island to check the black-horned ant nest. When he found no problems, he entered the Anwen Cave.

“Buzz——”

The Five Elements Mountain flashed with colorful light and appeared in his hand.

Under his nurturing, the spirituality of this magic weapon has increased several times compared to the beginning, and the colorful halo inside also has the tendency to generate a second one.

This is also the reason why he didn't dare to take it out in Black Whale City. Although the probability of being spotted by a Jindan cultivator is low, the possibility is still there.

The Jindan cultivators have very sharp minds and broad knowledge. If they were to sense spiritual fluctuations that are not appropriate for the grade of a magic weapon, who can guarantee that they would not be tempted?

Even if one is not a Jindan cultivator with five spiritual roots, one can still control magical instruments with all five elements, the power will be less at most.

Not to mention, so many Nascent Soul ancestors in the world of immortal cultivation are eyeing the five-colored stones. Could it be that these ancestors are all cultivators with five spiritual roots? Most of the Nascent Soul ancestors in the world of immortal cultivation are high-quality single or double spiritual roots. Why do they also value the five-colored stones? Shen Lian thought that the Nascent Soul ancestors must have other ways to refine the magic tools made from the five-colored stones to match their own cultivation methods.

This is the only way to explain why the sect is recruiting stone farmers on a large scale.

The five elements of spiritual power gushed out from the dantian and poured into the Five Elements Mountain.

When he was preparing to build his foundation, because the fire spiritual root was too strong and suppressed the other four spiritual roots, Shen Lian deliberately improved the other four spiritual roots.

But after he was promoted to the foundation-building stage, his fire spiritual power was strengthened again due to his observation of the endless fire region, which once again suppressed the other four spiritual powers and made them the weaker group.

Sensing the rhythm of the five elements' aura within the Five Elements Mountain, Shen Lian's mind was also immersed in it.

…

"How can there be none?"

"How can there be none?"

"How can there be none?"

In the evening, Pei Huoyu, who had circled Black Whale City, moved slowly past the treasure ship moored at the pier outside the city.

A pair of eyes suppressed fierceness and anger.

After a long time of searching in the city without success, he expanded his search area.

But he had searched every corner of Black Whale City countless times, but still couldn't locate the exact location.

The fluctuations of the Five Elements Mountain are like a flash in the pan, appearing and then disappearing.

This person is like a loach, so slippery that he can't be caught.

It's clearly in the city, but I just can't find it.

You have a magical tool hidden away but you don’t want to use it?

What do you need a magic tool for? As a fire stick?

"I've clearly sensed it!"

As time went by, the anger in Pei Huoyu's heart turned into resentment, and he wanted more and more to tear the corpse of the Five Elements Mountain into pieces and set it on fire.

"Could it be that they have already left Black Whale City?"

His eyes exuded a slightly aggressive look as he looked at the treasure ship at the dock.

"Impossible, he must still be in Black Whale City."

After several years of hard work, he finally found the clues. There was a hint of paranoia and madness in Pei Huoyu's eyes.

As one of the islands in the central area of ​​the Wanxing Sea, Black Whale Island has many treasure ships and spirit warships traveling back and forth.

This is different from the route he followed from the wilderness to the north. From here, it is extremely smooth to any island in any direction.

If the monk who took the Five Elements Mountain left, he would have no way of determining where he had gone, and would once again be in the situation of looking for a needle in a haystack.

“Damn it! Damn it!”

"It must still be here, it must be!"

Pei Huoyu murmured, continuously refining the 'Five Elements Dao Seed', which made him feel tired.

Even with elixirs and beast blood essence pills to replenish his energy, his foundation has already been affected by the continuous depletion of his essence without the patience to make up for it.

"What are you looking at? Get out of the way."

When Pei Huoyu slowly moved to a treasure ship flying the Xu family flag, a shout came from the treasure ship.

On the treasure ship, a young monk in gorgeous robes cursed nonchalantly and then walked back into the ship.

In order to conceal the aura of the 'Five Elements Dao Seed', Pei Huoyu deliberately wore a loose black robe, covering his entire body in the robe, looking almost like a beggar-level cultivator.

He was not without enemies on his journey north.

Although no one knows where Patriarch Zi Yang has hidden, his disciple Qing Yun Zhenren, who is at the Jindan stage, is still there.

Pei Huoyu looked at the flag on the treasure ship with a gloomy expression, and his eyes became sharp.

The pills he consumed along the way were very valuable. Where did the spirit stones come from?

Since someone was so blind as to bump into him, he took it without any hesitation.

…

Off the coast of Black Whale Island.

The wrecked treasure ship with the Xu family flag half-capsized on the sea, corpses were strewn all over the ship, and blood dyed the surrounding waters red.

"Who are you? When has my Xu family ever offended you?"

Xu Tinggui, the third elder of the Xu family, had a pale face, his robe was covered with burn marks, and the backlash of his spiritual power caused blood to ooze from the corners of his mouth. After continuous fighting, he was completely at a disadvantage.

He had no idea when he was targeted by such a monk.

This time, the family treasure ship came to Black Whale City to sell the spiritual rice, medicinal herbs, and minerals that the family had accumulated over the years.

For this purpose, a second-grade superior formation was arranged on the treasure ship, but the opponent actually had the forbidden bead.

This made him suspect that they were targeting his Xu family.

Once it is taken away, the operation of the family will be in trouble.

"I have already sent a signal to the elders of my family. The elder of my Xu family who is at the eighth level of foundation building is nearby."

“Buzz——”

Pei Huoyu sneered without saying a word. He raised his hands and five-colored spiritual light splashed in his palms, turning into a five-colored halo and falling down.

This was only the first attack. A palm with colorful flashes in the center and red flames on the edges was pressed towards Xu Tinggui.

Feeling the crisis coming, Xu Tinggui directly sacrificed several second-level talismans. The terrifying waves condensed into the shape of a sea monster and rushed towards Pei Huoyu, and then he wanted to escape.

But under the five-colored palm, the sea beast derived from the talisman only lasted for two breaths before it was evaporated.

Boom! Seeing that the talisman attack had no effect, Xu Tinggui wanted to use a magic weapon to protect his body, but the five-colored halo had already suppressed him, causing his spiritual power to stagnate.

In this moment of hesitation, the Five Elements Fire Palm came down and enveloped Xu Tinggui.

"I have sent out a signal. My Xu family..."

Xu Tinggui shouted at the top of his lungs, but what responded to him was an even more powerful five elements spiritual power.

Click.

The defensive spell protecting his body collapsed, and Xu Tinggui was swallowed by the five elements of spiritual power, and a broken bone fell down.

Pei Huoyu collected the corpses with a wave of his hand, flew onto the treasure ship, and collected his harvest with an expressionless face.

This kind of scene has long been commonplace. The spirit stones spent on tonics along the way were all begged from the monks in this way.

The Xu family happened to be there by chance.

Standing on the upturned treasure ship and enveloped by the smell of blood, Pei Huoyu's aura became more and more violent, and bloodshot eyes gradually began to emerge.

He struggled hard to regain a glimmer of clarity, but was immediately overwhelmed by the brutality again.

"A mind as pure as water, pure water is the mind... it is calm and unperturbed... a mind as pure as water..."

"ah……"

A roar came from his throat and Pei Huoyu held his head.

“Who… come out!”

His divine sense swept through his whole body, and the five elements of spiritual power in his body began to riot. Magic spells flew out from his hands and bombarded the sea around him.

But no matter how he examined his body, he didn't notice anything wrong with it.

But Pei Huoyu concluded that there must be something wrong, otherwise he would not have become like this.

Boom! Under the bombardment of the Five Elements magic, the treasure ship soon sank completely into the ocean.

This sea area was the place he specially chose to attack, and there were not many monks coming and going.

When the fight just happened, there were some monks passing by, but after seeing what was happening, they ran away faster than the other.

"A pure heart is like water, and pure water is the heart..."

After casting a series of spells to vent his anger, and chanting the Heart Cleansing Mantra, the bloodshot in Pei Huoyu's eyes dimmed a little, but the aura of tyranny still remained.

“Where on earth is it!”

Resentment gathered in his eyes, and the hatred towards the person who took away the Five Elements Mountain reached its peak at this moment.

If this person hadn't existed, he would have already hidden himself with the Five Elements Mountain and would not have endured this out-of-control state.

"Um……"

At this moment, Pei Huoyu was checking the mountain of spirit stones in the storage bracelet, and his eyes suddenly froze.

He took out the 'Five Elements Dao Seed.'

The five-colored spiritual light shines brightly, emitting little bits of light.

Buzzing sound.

Pei Huoyu's eyes lit up instantly, and the 'Five Elements Dao Seed' responded.

Found it! Found it! 　Please read on!
