Inside the cave, Qi Chengzan's heart trembled.
Ao Shi Immortal City is one of the five immortal cities under the Xuanhai Sect.
With a fake elixir cultivator in charge and a third-order formation, even if a golden elixir cultivator took action, he might not be able to break through the city defenses.
He began to think about how to conceal his identity and accomplish this task.
He dared not disobey the orders of the Black Cliff Demon, but now he had no choice.
Before, he said that he was going to receive the Blood Soul Orb that Xiang Jingying and the other two had snatched, which also implied that he was going to monitor the three of them.
The disciples of the old demon Heiya are spread all over the Wanxing Sea. Maybe by then there will be other cultivators watching him. If he doesn't take action, he will die miserably.
Every move made by the Black Cliff Demon was very meaningful. As a chess piece, he was just one of the steps and had no way of seeing the whole picture of the Demon's move.
Just like the death of Xiang Jingying and the other two, the old demon didn't care at all. Instead, he became interested in the cultivator who killed Xiang Jingying.
…
Three days later in the morning.
The Qingyang is about to set sail again.
Master Wan Yan of the Qingyang Island Alliance stood on the deck, looking at the storage bag hanging on the side of the ship with an ugly expression.
This means they don't want to reconcile.
Shen Lian came to the deck and found that of the five foundation-building cultivators, only he and Elder Lin were left.
Looking at Master Wan Yan, Jin Zhao and other cultivators on the deck, they all looked tense.
At first Shen Lian thought it was funny, but as he laughed he couldn't laugh anymore.
Suddenly, wake up!
The tense appearance of Master Wan Yan slowly overlapped with the one in his memory.
He is laughing at himself.
Wan Yan today is no different from himself in the past or in the future.
Yunmeng Market, Black Whale City, Thousand Kings Island...
Facing an unknown opponent, everyone is the same.
The path to becoming an immortal does not allow for luck.
Just as the spirit ship was setting off, a streak of light flew over and landed on the deck.
"Forgive me, senior. I have been delayed by some things."
Qi Chengzan bowed to Master Wan Yan and others, and nodded with a smile at Shen Lian.
Suddenly, Shen Lian's heart skipped a beat.
Why the hell are you back again!
On the deck of the spirit ship.
Shen Lian nodded to Qi Chengzan, a smile on his face, and in his heart...
He now wanted to check himself again to see if his tail was exposed.
Fortunately, after a brief moment of surprise, Shen Lian calmed down.
The Qingyang route passes through the northwest waters, so it is normal for anyone to take the spirit ship.
Boom! The spirit ship roared and flew into the distance.
Because of the matter with the demon cultivators, the number of cultivators on the spirit ship was reduced by one third compared to before.
After True Man Wan Yan arranged the foundation-building cultivators under his command, he turned to look at Shen Lian, Elder Lin and Qi Chengzan.
"My fellow Taoists, for the sake of safety, why don't you rest in the attic?"
The words seemed to be a negotiation, but the tone did not leave room for reversal.
"Listen to the real person's arrangements."
"good."
Shen Lian and the other two nodded and flew to the attic at the highest point of the spirit ship.
Although his realm was only the second level of foundation building, his spiritual power was no worse than that of the cultivators at the seventh or eighth level of foundation building. While entering the attic of the attic, he inadvertently glanced at Qi Chengzan.
With the fake Dan monk in charge, there is no doubt that it is safe.
Taking advantage of this opportunity to get close to the fake pill cultivator, Shen Lian sensed the external aura of Master Wan Yan and compared it with his ordinary jade talisman.
The power of the ordinary jade talisman was confirmed once again, and it belongs to the quasi-third-level.
In front of the fake Dan cultivator, Qi Chengzan also behaved normally.
Since the Black Cliff Demon no longer cared about the problems of Xiang Jingying and the other two, he naturally didn't need to bother tracking them.
The reason why I tried so hard to catch up with him before was because I failed to complete the task and was afraid of being punished by the Black Cliff Demon.
But now Qi Chengzan was very depressed. If he had known earlier, he would rather be punished than wade into the muddy water of Ao Shi Fairy City.
What kind of place is Ao Shi Immortal City? If there is trouble there, it will not be easy for him to escape even if he is at the eighth level of foundation building.
But he has to do it, because his family's life is in Heiya's hands.
You say he is pretending to be positive when he has nothing to do.
It seems we need to think of a solution.
He was able to deal with the Black Cliff Demon while keeping himself safe.
But it’s really hard to have the best of both worlds.
Qi Chengzan immersed his spiritual consciousness into his storage bracelet and sensed the resources in the bracelet.
He relied on the Black Cliff Patriarch to seize the position of the head of the Qi family, and used the sacrificial bean refining technique to bring several other foundation-building elders of the family under his feet as his running dogs.
Eighty percent of the family's resources are carried by him as the head of the family. Now is not the time to be frugal with spirit stones.
"When we get to Aoshi Immortal City, we'll need to buy some high-level talismans and elixirs."
"I just don't know if these spiritual stones are enough. Maybe I'll have to sell a few spiritual items."
…
On the other side, Shen Lian was refining the spirit stone while looking inward and examining his body carefully.
He also used his spiritual sense to check the storage ring to confirm that there was nothing that looked like it had exposed its tail.
He also confirmed his judgment by judging Qi Chengzan's expression.
The islands on the route are too remote, and Qi Chengzan also wants to take a spirit ship to Ao Shi Immortal City.
The Qingyang spirit ship continued to fly along the predetermined route. Whenever it arrived at an island, Shen Lian would get off the ship and do his business as usual.
On the contrary, Qi Chengzan and Elder Lin stayed on the spirit ship to meditate and practice.
As for Master Wan Yan and the others, they did not dare to leave the spirit ship, for fear that the only large asset of the Qingyang Island Alliance would be destroyed by the evil cultivators.
After a while, everyone became familiar with resting in the attic and told each other their family names.
Shen Lian also learned that the cultivator who was tracking him was named Qi Chengzan, the head of a foundation-building family.
There were more than fifty stops along the route, and Shen Lian would get off the spirit ship every time it stopped, which also aroused the curiosity of several foundation-building cultivators.
He did not hide the fact that he was a second-level alchemist and was traveling around in search of an extremely rare elixir.
It is normal for alchemists to travel around looking for elixirs.
In the blink of an eye, nine months passed.
Under the personal supervision of Master Wan Yan, the Qingyang finally sighted the Immortal City of Ao Shi from afar.
Shen Lian stood on the deck, gazing at the huge turtle-shaped island lying in the ocean.
Ao Shi Fairy City.
Finally arrived.
Along the way, he brought happiness to fellow Taoists on various islands and also received a large number of spirit stones from them. Now it is time to give these spirit stones back to the world of immortal cultivation.
After the Qingyang ship sailed around the islands, Shen Lian had a deep feeling.
Happy Pill has great potential.
Even in a place with poor spiritual energy, happiness still exists.
This made him feel a little bit amused and helpless. He had originally wanted to bring happiness to his fellow Taoists, but he didn't expect that after going around in a circle, he ended up digging out the spirit stones of the low-level Qi training cultivators.
What was piled up in the storage bracelet was not spiritual stones, but the hard work of the monks.
A total of 160,000 low-grade spirit stones.
The main reason for having so many spirit stones was that Shen Lian later accurately located his partners in places such as Hongyanfang and Xianyuge on each island.
Most of the fairy sisters and rabbit brothers who can gather on the island to do import and export business are local tyrants.
However, the islands on the Qingyang route are located in a remote area northwest of the Wanxing Sea, and the strongest forces on the island are the foundation-building forces.
After visiting so many islands, he had never encountered a madam who was building a foundation in the Hongyanfang on any island.
Ding San was responsible for purchasing materials, and Ding Si was responsible for selling happy pills. Under the pressure of the foundation-building puppet, most transactions were completed in a friendly manner.
Not everything went smoothly every time, and there were a few unexpected events.
As a result, more than 30,000 spirit stones in the storage bracelet were additional income items.
…
Ao Shi Fairy City is like a giant fairy turtle crawling in the sea, and the city is built on the turtle's back.
It is said that at that time, some people wanted to build it on the head, but some people said it was unlucky, so they chose the turtle's back.
A city as prosperous as Black Whale City is guarded by a third-order formation, and the pressure is transmitted before you get close.
There is an extremely large square in the center of the city, and in the center is a huge Bixi carrying a stele, exuding extremely strong oppression.
Surrounding the giant monument is a broad square where the spirit ships are moored, and there is also a special place for processing jade passes for entering the city.
This is very different from Black Whale City.
The square is surrounded by tall and majestic chamber of commerce gates, one next to the other, and the plaques of Shanhai Pavilion and Xuanhai Hall are shrouded in the mist.
From a distance, you can see colorful rainbows rising from the clouds.
This is the third-order formation of Ao Shi Immortal City, the Sky Curtain Water Covering Formation, which is connected to the spiritual vein under the city.
After the spirit ship landed, Shen Lian flew down and breathed a sigh of relief, finally arriving at the destination.
It took more than nine months to run all the way from Qianwang Island, and the distance was no less than the last time I offended Bian Qingyun.
Including this encounter with the Black Cliff Demon, this means I have offended the Golden Core True Man twice.
Along the way, being in the same room with a hidden demon cultivator who had once tracked me felt very strange.
After nine months, we were on the road all the time, especially later we had to face the fake Dan Zhenren, and there was also the uncertainty of building our foundation.
Therefore, the insights gained were not many, and even the practice was intermittent.
The current accumulated number of perception points is only [8814].
Looking at the prosperous scene of cultivators coming and going around, Shen Lian felt that the Black Whale model could be completely replicated in Ao Shi Immortal City.
It was so peaceful in Black Whale City, with the third-level formation guarding it and the Golden Core Ancestor in charge.
Compared with Ao Shi Xian City and Black Whale City, it is not inferior at all, and is even stronger.
Xuanhai Sect is the largest sect in Wanxinghai.
If you hug him here, you are not hugging him, you are hugging Xuan Hai Zong's face.
Xuanhai Sect has an ancestor who has reached the great perfection of the golden elixir. Who dares to slap him in the face?
…
After obtaining his identity jade badge, Shen Lian looked at the Shanhai Pavilion not far away. Since it was so close, he decided to go to the shop to buy some resources first.
"Um!"
But just as he reached the door of Shanhai Pavilion, the divine talisman attached to the inside of his robe began to sense something.
Immediately, the shadow of the soul-binding demon appeared in the sea of consciousness.
"What's going on?"
Shen Lian continued to move forward calmly.
Oh my god, why are you targeting him again?
With divine sense perception, a tiny blood-colored particle appeared on a strand of hair under the bun.
It's the blood bean worm.
Hasn’t the tens of thousands of miles of sea route from Yishan Island to Aoshi Island been completely identified?
What, it started again, isn't this over yet? I can't just give Shen Lian a hard time.
