Chapter 129.
Of course, tan san was not spying on the high level Five Elemental Feats on the other party.
Now that he already had the top five elemental techniques, the Pure Yang Five Elemental Technique, he naturally did not commit to practicing other techniques, and even if he got his hands on it, at most, he could only use it as a base for reference, and would not waste his time practicing it again.
The reason why he thought of this person was only because he came to this Jade Lake and inexplicably made an association.
“Go, let’s go down.”
It was also at this time that Shen Xinyue opened her mouth and said.
“Go down for what?”
Someone asked curiously.
“Rent a boat and take the waterway.
Two days on the waterway will save us three days of traveling time, and we can also avoid a treacherous land.”
Shen Xinyue explained, then took the lead and headed down the mountain.
The others had no problem with it, and traveling at a brisk pace, the group quickly descended the Two Abyssal Mountains, and then they were led by Shen Xinyue to a row of boat parking areas.
“Pavilion Master Shen, this is actually considered my family’s property, so leave the boat rental to me.”
At this exact moment, Zhao Gongpeng suddenly stepped forward and spoke.
“Oh? Then I’ll trouble you, Fellow Daoist Zhao.”
Shen Xinyue heard this and glanced at him in surprise, and would not have refused.
With someone else stepping in, not only would the cost of renting a boat be cheaper, but it would also save a lot of trouble.
“This place, in fact, is also considered an industry.
Half a year ago, it was managed by the Wu Family, and it was quite profitable, with a yearly revenue of 100,000 lower-grade spirit stones.
However, half a year ago, the Wu family triggered a turmoil and completely withdrew from the workshop market, and this one property was also moved to give way, and now it’s managed by the Qu family, the Xu family, and the Zhao family.
Of course, in fact, the Chen and Bai families would like to intervene, but in the past half a year, the two families fought hard, but did not have a hand.
As a result, there was no chaos here.
A lot of people don’t even know what’s going on inside the workshop market yet.”
At this exact moment, Gong Baixue came closer and said so.
“So that’s how it is.”
tan san nodded, knowing that the Zhao Family she spoke of was the Zhao Family that Zhao Gongpeng was a part of.
It is said that the Zhao family is an Immortal Cultivation family that started with talisman making, and the family’s scope of business, which includes talisman paper making and spirit talisman drawing …… Although there are quite a few small stores of various talisman stores in the Fenghuangmingwu Square Market, the largest of them and the one that produces the most spirit talismans is in fact still the Zhao family’s talisman making store.
And not only is it the first-grade, middle-grade spirit talismans, but the Zhao family’s main output is the first-grade high-grade spirit talismans, and even the second-grade early-grade spirit talismans.
These talismans were often expensive and very profitable, and many cultivators had to spend a lot of money to buy life-saving items.
For example, that ‘Ghost Eyes’ Zhao Shanhe, if he didn’t have that second-grade early-stage recluse talisman, he would never have been able to escape from tan san’s hands.
After the Zhao family had developed, of course, it wouldn’t be limited to talisman making and would actively participate in the layout of other industries as well.
It was only half a year ago that they were able to get a piece of the Jade Lake industry.
Gong Baixue mentioned the Qu family, but he understood a little more, because Fengming Dock Square market in the Immortal House, it is the Qu family’s industry.
Immortal House operates a variety of immortal food, meals, will interfere in this Jade Lake industry, is also a very normal thing.
After all, the Jade Lake is rich in fish, and there are many cherished spirit fish, which are the favorite of many diners.
Soon, Zhao Gongpeng walked back, and with him, was a middle-aged cultivator with two beards on his face.
After the middle-aged cultivator walked over, he hurriedly arched his hand and said, “My name is Zhao Wenqiang, Tim is the Steward of this place, I didn’t know that Pavilion Master Shen had come to visit, so I have missed out on welcoming you.”
“Steward Zhao is polite, this time, we are planning to rent a fishing boat to cross the lake, please also ask Steward Zhao to make it convenient.”
Shen Xinyue also arched her hand and said.
“Good to say.
Just now, Gong Peng has already told me, I have already arranged a fishing boat here, it can reach the Tianhe Mountain within two days, after the Tianhe Mountain, there is a plain, and within five or six days if it’s fast, we can reach the Divine Wind Valley workshop.
By the way, fishing boat master, I’ve arranged for the most experienced master Ge, Ge Yuanshan, to steer the boat, to ensure that you can safely reach the other side of the river.
On the way, you’ll even pass by a fishing area, so if you guys are interested, you’ll also be able to do some fishing, and if you can catch a few White Jade Spotted Fish, you’ll be able to earn a bit of extra money.”
That Steward Zhao said with a smile.
“Thanks to Steward Zhao, I don’t know the cost of renting this boat ……”
Shen Xinyue arched her hand, then inquired.
“The fee is waived, my nephew opened his mouth, how can there be a charge?”
Steward Zhao said with a smile.
“How much it should be is how much it should be, please don’t postpone Steward Zhao.”
Shen Xinyue, however, shook her head, she was also guilty of not owing people a favor on this matter.
“Generally speaking, fifty lower grade spirit stones per person, if Pavilion Master Shen insists on giving, let’s calculate it at thirty lower grade spirit stones per person.”
Steward Zhao hesitated for a moment before speaking.
Shen Xinyue nodded and directly took a sum of spirit stones and delivered the boat fee.
Steward Zhao was very efficient.
Soon after, he arranged for their group to board a large boat that was twenty zhang long and three or four zhang high.
The captain of the boat was none other than Master Ge Yuan Shan, who Steward Zhao had mentioned before, with a cultivation level of the sixth level of Qi Practicing, and there were four or five crew members in addition to Master Ge.
“This boat, it’s so big.
The price should not be expensive either, right?”
Qian Xiaoyue marveled and said.
“That’s certainly.
This boat, the whole body is made of second grade spirit wood, red iron shirt, and the bottom is wrapped with a layer of red gold spirit iron, which can effectively prevent the fish demon from crashing into it.
It can at least block dozens of impacts from a mid-grade fish demon.
Moreover, the fishing boat was also specially arranged with a first-grade high-grade defensive array, once activated, as long as it didn’t go to some dangerous waters and encountered the siege of several first-grade high-grade fish demons, there was no danger of it being blasted through.
The cost of the entire fishing boat, of course, is also not expensive, the bare boat will cost six thousand lower grade spirit stones, if you add other paraphernalia such as formations, ten thousand lower grade spirit stones are more than that.”
The captain Ge Yuanshan, who was at the side, sniffed and couldn’t help but say with a smile.
Qian Xiaoyue couldn’t help but be staggered at his words.
I didn’t expect just a fishing boat to be so expensive.
To know, just now, in the row of fishing boats, there could be several fishing boats that were bigger and more majestic than this one, wouldn’t that casually cost tens of thousands of lower grade spirit stones?
“Start the boat! Rise!”
Immediately after, with Captain Ge’s cry, the anchor was put away, and the entire fishing boat immediately started up.
Inside the fishing boat, there was a rest cabin, but there weren’t many built-in rooms, if two people had one room and three people had one room, it was barely enough.
But most cultivators like to cultivate alone, and are not used to sharing a room with others.
Good thing the boat ride time is not long, two days can reach the destination, so in addition to a few in order to cultivate, stay in the room of the cultivators, everyone stayed in the cabin above.
Some people leaned on the parapet, checking out the scene of Jade Lake in the distance, some people found a place to sit and cultivate, and some people came together in twos and threes, exchanging new gains.
Qian Xiaoyue also stayed with Lu Wei’er at this time, the two of them exchanged ideas together, as if they had already removed the barriers, at least on the surface it seemed, talking and laughing.
Of course, tan san also knows that since the gap has been created, it is impossible to wear down so quickly, the two people seem to be as good as new, but just a trace of the gap, pressed in the bottom of the heart.
In this regard, tan san did not say anything.
Both of them are not right, to blame, can only blame their own strength is too weak some.
Then, tan san found Shen Xinyue and took thirty lower grade spirit stones over, saying, “Sister Shen, this is the cost of the boat ride.”
“Good.”
At this, Shen Xinyue did not refuse.
One size does not fit all, if one was a cultivator of the Water Cloud Pavilion, it would be quite normal for her to pay for the spirit stones, but tan san neither belonged to the cultivators of the Water Cloud Pavilion, nor did he intend to travel to the Water Cloud Immortal Sect to participate in the Sect Entrance Examination, so naturally, he would have to pay for the boat ride on his own.
It wasn’t just him, Gong Baixue, Wen Renxiu, Fang Shitong and the rest.
On the contrary, Zhao Gongpeng did not need to spend spirit stones because it was his own property.
“By the way, what are your plans for this trip to the Divine Wind Valley Marketplace?”
Suddenly, Shen Xinyue inquired.
tan san froze and said after some thought, “Plans? Of course it’s to find a place to settle down first.”
“Then, are you interested in joining our Water Cloud Pavilion?
Within the Divine Wind Valley workshop market, we also have an industry, and it’s far bigger than in the Feng Ming Dock workshop market.
The Pavilion master is my senior sister Tang Yuyan, I was previously the Deputy Pavilion master within the Divine Wind Valley Marketplace, so there is a certain amount of power.
In fact, inviting you to join the Water Cloud Pavilion doesn’t require you to do anything, it’s just that in the future, the Spirit Plants that you grow need to be provided to our Water Cloud Pavilion as a matter of priority.
In return, I will secure a medicinal garden for you.
At least a second grade spirit land medicinal garden.”
Shen Xinyue invited with a serious face.
If it was before, although she was grateful to tan san, she would not have made the decision to invite to join the Water Cloud Pavilion.
After all, he was, in essence, just a casual spiritual planter, and although the quality of the Hui Spiritual Herbs he cultivated was good, there were actually quite a lot of spiritual planters who could do this, whether in the Phoenix Ming Dock Square Market or the Divine Wind Valley Square Market.
Until this time.
After killing a seventh level Qi cultivator and a pseudo-copper corpse that was comparable to a top ninth level Qi cultivator with only her own strength, her opinion of tan san had completely changed.
Although, as the other party had said, tan san relied on spirit talismans alone, utilizing the power of talismans.
However, to be able to throw out so many spirit talismans and kill Song Xianchao and the Fake Copper Corpse in succession was sufficient proof of his strength.
General cultivators, even if they hold a large number of powerful spiritual talismans in their hands, if they can’t hit anyone, then they can only cry out in vain.
Immortal cultivation world, the financial strength of a lot of people, some family cultivators, clan children, one by one are much richer than ordinary casual cultivators, some elders in order to preserve the safety of the younger generation of children and nephews, will inevitably leave some of the life-saving things.
Powerful first-grade high-grade spirit talisman, or even second-grade spirit talisman is also quite a lot.
Why is it that one rarely hears that a high ranked cultivator died at the hands of a low ranked cultivator?
It is because they will talisman fling out, high-level cultivators see the opportunity is not good, long before the first step to hide away to avoid the past, there is no spiritual sense lock, there is no opportunity to pull, so that the attack falls steadily on the corresponding target, and can not really play a role?
So, tan san himself may not have the strength to kill cultivators above the seventh level of qi cultivation, but the spirit symbol in his hands, and his means of normal ‘play’ at the power of the spirit symbol, enough to let any high-level cultivators, do not dare to underestimate.
In the end, it was still strength.
“This …… since sister Shen kindly invited me, then I naturally have no reason not to agree.”
tan san pondered slightly and finally agreed.
Joining the Water Cloud Pavilion, at least for the time being, the benefits outweighed the drawbacks for him. After all, just the point of a second grade or above spirit land was not something that he, an ordinary loose cultivator, could rent.
To know, spirit field, spirit land, in any place, is a scarce resource, a carrot, there is no possibility of it being empty.
It has long been occupied by the various intricate forces of one immortal cultivation family within the marketplace.
If he went to rent it alone, at most, he would rent a small courtyard with a spiritual field as he did in Feng Ming Dock’s workshop market, and the grade of the spiritual field would not be able to reach more than the second grade at all.
However, when rented by the Water Cloud Pavilion, it was completely different.
Just behind the Water Cloud Immortal Sect, no one dares to despise, others even if they do not want to let, but also have to be concerned about the power of the Water Cloud Pavilion, out of the way.
Even the Water Cloud Pavilion itself, has such a spiritual field, medicine garden.
Of course, tan san can also join Gong Baixue where the Gong family, at least Gong Baixue has also been more than once to him to invite, give the conditions are not low.
But compared to Water Cloud Pavilion’s almost no conditions, joining the Gong family, he not only planted spiritual plants, most of them have to be handed over to the Gong family, and there is also the danger of exposing many secrets, not to mention, their own freedom, will also be restricted.
Certainly not his first choice.
“Then congratulations to fellow Daoist Zhou, for becoming a member of my Water Cloud Pavilion.
Since you are one of us, then you can take these spirit stones back.
It’s just a little boat fee, my Water Cloud Pavilion can still afford to pay it.”
When Shen Xinyue heard this, a smile also appeared on her face, and then she handed back those thirty lower grade spirit stones.
Seeing this, tan san could not help but lose his smile and was not polite.
After bidding farewell to Shen Xinyue, tan san returned to the deck, and then after finding a corner, he sat down on his knees.
This time, after traveling for a long period of time, his time for cultivation had dwindled.
It was rare for him to sit on the deck of the ship without having to hurry himself, so he wanted to seize the time and cultivate.
tan san’s mind moved slightly, his spiritual sense dispersed, and he first utilized the Soundproofing Technique.
The Perfection Level Soundproofing Technique was not only able to isolate sound, but also had the effect of isolating spiritual energy breath.
In this kind of environment, especially on the deck of the ship, when there were many cultivators, it was very suitable.
As long as he didn’t withdraw the spell, it would be impossible for the onlookers to see through the changes in his spiritual energy breath from the outside and spy on the techniques and spells he was practicing.
Only immediately afterward did he make use of the Five Elements Glazed Heart Lamp.
It was worth mentioning that after the previous continuous cultivation, the Five Elements Glazed Heart Lantern that tan san had mastered now had completely stepped into the Small Completion stage.
The small completion of the Five Elements Glazed Heart Lamp, not only is the speed of spell casting faster, from the original thirteen breaths, down to seven breaths, even the maintenance time, also increased greatly.
Reached four incense sticks, that is, half an hour to the point, greatly extending the coverage time of his gongfu operation.
When the Five Elements Glazed Heart Lamp was activated, a ‘glazed lamp flame’ was immediately burned above his dantian.
Only then did he run the Pure Yang Five Elements Gong Technique.
A thread, a wisp of the Five Elements Pure Yang Spiritual Energy, after being burned and refined by the ‘Glazed Lamp Flame’, only then did it begin to pass through each meridian in his body, absorbing the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi that was free between Heaven and Earth.
One incense burner, two incense burners, three incense burners ……
After four incense sticks, the Five Elements Glazed Heart Lamp went out, but his gong method was still running.
Until seven incense sticks had passed, a circumference was completed.
Cultivation +1
tan san’s face was delighted and he couldn’t help but look at the attribute panel.
Name: tan san
Longevity: 18/102
Cultivation: 5th level of Qi Practicing (28/100)
Technique: Five Elements Pure Yang Technique (Minor Achievement 85/400)
Spells: Five Elements Glazed Heart Lamp (Minor Achievement 39/400)
“After my strength reached the fifth level of qi cultivation, the growth rate of my strength has, indeed, slowed down a lot.
Fortunately, today’s Pure Yang Five Elements Technique is only a minor accomplishment, and after that, there’s the major accomplishment, the consummation.
I believe that by that time, my cultivation speed will definitely have another huge increase.
Moreover, even now, compared to other cultivators, my cultivation speed is already not slow.
Not to mention, because of the Five Elements Glazed Heart Lamp, the spiritual energy I cultivate is very condensed and pure.
With the help of such spiritual energy, the power of the spells that are utilized have been unusual since.”
tan san sighed with emotion, and there was nothing unsatisfying about it.
Everything, was proceeding step by step.
Just need to give him a certain amount of time, when he correspondingly cultivates the Five Elements Pure Yang Technique to Grand Completion, and raises the Five Elements Glazed Heart Lamp to the limit likewise …… then he believes that his own speed of cultivation will definitely be able to catch up with the legendary geniuses of the sect.
And time, he had plenty of it.
At the age of eighteen, with a lifespan of one hundred and two years, he had full confidence that he would be able to cultivate to the top of the ninth level of qi cultivation before the age of sixty, fifty, or even forty, initiating the rush for the Foundation Establishment Realm.
After a few consecutive weeks of cultivation.
The sky had already darkened and night descended.
However, the fishing boats didn’t stop, naturally sailing through the waters.
tan san looked around, apart from a portion of the people who went into the cabin of the boat and chose a place to cultivate, there were still some cultivators who chose to stay on the deck and meditate and cultivate.
Qian Xiaoyue, Lu Wei’er, Fang Shitong, and the female cultivator Liu Ruyu who was located in Qian Xiaoyue’s general area and was about to participate in the Water Cloud Immortal Sect’s entrance examination…….
Seeing that everyone else was in the middle of cultivation, tan san did not disturb them.
Then with a flip of his hand, he directly took a jade slip and began to check it out.
This jade slip was one of the trophies that he had previously seized from the storage bag of that Qi Practicing 7th layer cultivator, Song Xianchao.
It was the jade slip that recorded the Taiyi Golden Armor Technique.
He planned to take advantage of the time he had now to first skill up on the runic structure of this spell, so that when he formally cultivated it, he would be able to get up to speed more quickly.
“This Taiyi Golden Armor Technique is also worthy of being a first-grade high-level spell, and there are quite a few runic structures, eighty-nine of them.
Among them, there are only twenty-three that overlap with the rune structures I have mastered ……”
A new spell was a new challenge for tan san.
Fortunately, he does not lack experience in the cultivation of spells, for the cultivation of the use of spells, has some unique insights of his own, coupled with the strength of his spiritual power today, has long been different from the past ……
Therefore, just half an hour later, he had a considerable degree of understanding of the structure of these runes.
Then, directly began to try ……
Under the effect of the Sound Isolation Technique, the spiritual energy around his body was not visible, coupled with the Breath Convergence Technique, which similarly had the effect of converging the breath and isolating the spiritual energy.
Therefore, when tan san really began to try to cultivate Taiyi Golden Armor Technique, did not attract anyone’s attention at all, the onlookers can only see his movements, do not know that at this time he is cultivating a new spell.
Once, twice, three times ……
Try again and again, fail again and again.
tan san had already gotten used to this.
The attribute panel was not everything.
Before initiation, it was how it was supposed to be cultivated, and it wouldn’t steadily increase the cultivation experience like it did after initiation.
“Perhaps, it’s equally effective.
It’s just a curing for the progress of cultivation, for example, if you are able to draw three runic structures the first time, then the lower limit for the second time, is three runic structures ……”
tan san’s thoughts floated, and then he failed to cast the spell after only condensing seven runic structures due to distraction.
At this, he was not amused.
Cultivation, after all, was ‘human’ oriented.
The attribute panel was only an aid.
The only way to have a corresponding improvement was if the cultivator himself put his heart and soul into it.
Relying on the Attribute Panel alone could only determine his lower limit, while the upper limit, would have to rely on himself.
In this way, after an hour, tan san felt his heart and mind getting tired, and only then did he stop.
For this spell, naturally, he did not succeed in cultivating it.
After all, it was a First Grade High Grade Technique with numerous runic structures, so it wouldn’t be that easy to get started.
Today, he had only just mastered fifty runic structures.
Then he looked at the sky, the crescent moon was hanging high, although it was covered with dark clouds and appeared to be a bit dark, but he often used the Clear Eyes Spiritual Liquid, or even the Spiritual Eyes Golden Liquid to cleanse and flush his eyes, enough to be able to see in the darkness, so naturally he was not affected.
Then looked around.
Jade Lake was huge.
At a glance, the nearest shore was thousands of meters away, and the calm water surface was often flooded with splashes.
Occasionally, there were even large fish, picking their way out of the lake with a clattering sound.
Among them, tan san even saw a big fish with a head that was a zhang long, picking out the water three zhang high, and when it fell, it was like a huge boulder thrown down from high in the air, blowing up a huge splash of water.
“This, should be the fish demon.
I don’t know if it’s a beginner level fish demon, or a middle level fish demon.”
tan san muttered and shook his head.
He had long known that the Jade Lake, with its vast surface and deep bottom, hid an unknown number of fish demons and demonic beasts, not only the beginner’s level, but also the intermediate level fish demons, the high level fish demons and even the great demons at the level of the Foundation Establishment Realm.
Fortunately, the captain of the fishing boat is experienced, all the way sailing to avoid some may hide fish demon group and high level fish demon place.
Therefore, all the way over, it seemed a bit calm.
Dang!
At this moment.
Only to hear a tremor coming from above the hull of the ship.
It was like there was a huge object that was hitting the bottom of the boat.
In an instant, the cultivators who were originally sitting in meditation and diving cultivation all came to their senses.
Even the cultivators inside the ship’s cabin rushed out at the first opportunity.
“What’s going on?”
Shen Xinyue was the first to appear on the deck and asked in a hurry.
“Don’t worry, it’s a head fish demon hitting the bottom of the ship.
Minor problem!”
Captain Ge Yuanshan smiled and explained, then began to turn the rudder, and before he could sail for long, there was another shock that came from the bottom of the fishing boat.
