longevity road trip

"Then I almost died in the mouth of the fish in the boat in the deep sea." An immortal cultivator wearing a Taoist robe, with his gray hair tied in a bun, said faintly, facing Cui Xiaotian with a speechless expression on his face .

"Junior Zhang Shiping, I have met True Monarch Qinghe." Seeing this Taoist, Zhang Shiping glanced at Cui Xiaotian's expression again, he understood in his heart, and he saluted without delay.

The Taoist walked through the air, and when he came to Zhang Shiping, he turned his hand, and a dark blue stone appeared in his hand, and he handed it over, "Little friend is Zhang Shiping. This piece of Yuanyuan bluestone was sold by Xiaoyou. Can you tell me, the old Taoist, where this piece of Yuanyuan bluestone came from, and whether there is anything in Xiaoyou’s hand, which is in the same place as this Yuanyuan bluestone. Don't worry about the little friend who came from the place, I will not let the little friend suffer from the old way."

Zhang Shiping stared at the stone in Taoist Qinghe's hand, took it with both hands, and looked at it carefully for a while. The magic weapon material of broken yuan bluestone has the characteristics of being broken and restored, but the appearance after each restoration is the same as before. It's not the same, and the shape of this broken yuan bluestone is exactly the same as the broken yuan bluestone he sold.

He pondered for a while, and then handed the broken yuan bluestone back to Qinghe Zhenjun, and said after considering it: "This broken yuan bluestone is a piece I found at the bottom of the Pingcang River in Linbu City, Qi State. I found it only after I broke through the magic circle here during the ancient repair of the cave. In addition to this broken yuan bluestone, I also got a monk’s skeleton, and there is nothing else besides that.”

Zhang Shiping took out a blank jade slip, and penetrated into the middle of the jade slip with his spiritual sense, he drew the map of the bottom of the Pingcang River in two or three strokes, and he handed the map jade slip to Qinghe Zhenjun.

"Is that corpse still there?" Qinghe was extremely satisfied with Zhang Shiping's actions, and asked calmly after receiving the jade slip.

Zhang Shiping and Cui Xiaotian did not enter Qinghe Zhenjun's water mansion.

Then he took out the monk's bone with black skull and jade bone. After the Qinghe Taoist threw Zhang Shiping a few valuable things, he took the bone from Zhang Shiping's hands.

Afterwards, Master Qinghe chased them away directly. Cui Xiaotian wanted to mutter a few words, but he saw Master Qinghe with one eye open and one eye closed, with a very inexplicable look in his eyes. Shut up, not daring to say another word.

After Zhang Shiping and Cui Xiaotian flew away, in the Qingheshui Mansion in Nanhai, the Taoist Qinghe took out the broken yuan bluestone with a smile on his face, and performed more than a dozen spiritual magic formulas in succession. From the bluestone, half a drop of extremely thick black water that was as heavy as lead was refined.The dark blue broken yuan bluestone turned into a light blue stone.

Satisfied, he put it into a jade bottle engraved with runes thinner than a hair, and immediately looked at the corpse of the black-skull jade bone lying in front of him with burning eyes. , looked at the black head, and said with a chuckle, "Fortunately, this kid is still young and doesn't have much experience, otherwise the old man wouldn't be able to take advantage of this."

Chapter 327 Two Years

On the way back to Binhai City, Zhang Shiping's worries for many days finally let go.Although he also understood that this corpse was obtained from the ancient monk's cave at the bottom of the Pingcang River, because he had no eyesight and did not see its value.But that's good too, it's better to have something to give than a Nascent Soul True Monarch is thinking about it.

Zhang Shiping secretly sighed in his heart, he still doesn't know how precious that black skull and jade bone is. , is simply at your fingertips.Zhang Shiping talked with Cui Zhenren intentionally or unintentionally all the way, and it took nearly three days before he returned to Binhai City.

After returning to Binhai City, Zhang Shiping began to visit those Jindan monks who were still in the city who had sent invitations a few days ago.He also understood that his father really planned to raise his family to join Xuanyuanzong, otherwise he would not have planned to move his family.It's just because Zhang Shiping didn't know his plan yet, so Zhang Tongan was more tactful.

I don't know what Xu Qingxuan and Yue Ziqi said some time ago, which moved his father.After all, an immortal cultivator is still alone. With a family behind him, he can't be like those casual cultivators who are free and unrestrained.

Otherwise, Zhang Shiping would have searched everywhere for materials suitable for refining his magic weapon.The whole body of Feiyan Pagoda needs a kind of meteoric iron hidden deep in the lava. This kind of meteoric iron was originally made because the stars in the sky fell to the earth, and it happened to fall in the volcano. It is the meteoric iron with the spirituality of stars, contaminated with a trace of fire energy, and thus bred a kind of high-grade fire attribute magic weapon material.

But at this time, Zhang Shiping really couldn't leave.When he came back from Qingheshui Mansion earlier, Cui Xiaotian told Zhang Shiping intentionally or unintentionally in a joking tone, asking him to consider joining the Xuanyuan Sect, and also said that his newly recruited apprentice had good aptitude. With the recommendation of Jindan monks, they can also directly become inner disciples.If the cultivation base develops rapidly in the future, it may not be impossible to become a true disciple.

As someone who has experienced it, how can he not know that Jindan Daoist who has just formed an alchemy, how can he have so much time to teach his disciples, most of them are looking for one or two suitable exercises, giving some magic weapon pills, and then maybe two or three It takes one or two months to solve the problem, and most of the time is taught by the sect or the foundation-building monks under the sect, but there are no foundation-building monks under Zhang Shiping. Even in the family, there is only his father Zhang Tongan, a nearly 140-year-old Foundation Establishment cultivator.

It's no wonder that Zhang Tong'an has already started to plan for the future of the Zhang family. After thinking about it, Zhang Shiping also understands his father's difficulties in his heart.Immortal cultivators, if they abandon their family whenever they encounter difficulties, and abandon their sect when they encounter a crisis, they can certainly live a free and easy life, but what will the family members and sect members do and what will they do?

Behind the happy life of one person, there may be thousands of people eagerly waiting, even despairing.

Zhang Shiping, who was full of thoughts, spent more than half a year dealing with most of the Golden Core cultivators in Binhai City. Sometimes he humbly asked them for advice. For some things that were not important and top-secret, those Golden Core cultivators were also happy. Chat with Zhang Shiping.After returning from each visit, Zhang Shiping bought some cakes and sweets made from spiritual fruits in some shops, and brought them back to his disciples who were sulking.

Maybe it's because Zhang Shiping has gradually become acquainted, and this child has gradually become more courageous, so in order to eat bamboo rice, she even took the flying sword given to her by Zhang Shiping to chop the emerald green bamboos that grew on the second level and tasted better. Good bamboo rice, fortunately, Lin Ming, who took care of her, found out that the three-four hundred-year-old emerald green bamboo was saved.

In addition to building good relationships with the upcoming families and the Jindan families in Binhai City, Zhang Shiping can do nothing more than a few things, not to mention consolidating his cultivation. Basic, save her detours.

Apart from this, Zhang Shiping only went to sea once these days, killing more than a dozen or twenty second-order sea beasts, and exchanged some spirit stones.In the golden elixir stage, many things are basically bartered, and everyone gets what they need.Of course, spirit stones can also be exchanged, but to be honest, Jindan cultivators don’t have much shortage of low-level spirit stones. Treasures are hard to find, but spirit stones are easy to get.

If it is a high-grade spirit stone, it is naturally another matter.However, high-grade spirit stones are also relatively rare treasures. In a sense, they can be regarded as barter

For the rest of the time, Zhang Shiping searched for ancient texts in various shops in Binhai City, collected nearly a hundred ancient texts and ancient books, and spent tens of thousands of spirit stones here and there instead of annotations.Otherwise, it wouldn't be surprising if a foundation-building cultivator would spend thousands of extra spirit stones.

Days passed day by day, and two years later, Zhang Shiping was still delving into the ancient texts he had collected. In the past two years, he finally explained the above tadpole texts, and revised it several times without worrying about it. Zhang Shiping was overjoyed when they merged into a spirit-detaining elemental technique that looked quite like a secret technique.

And when Zhang Tongan led hundreds of members of the Zhang family's Qi-refining tribe, and flew all the way from Baiyuan Mountain to Chongling Mountain in Xuanyuanzong's magical flying boat, he sent someone to inform Zhang Shiping, and gave Zhang Shiping an accident joy.

When Zhang Shiping heard the news and flew to pick them up from the Green Bamboo Valley, Zhang Shiping was both happy and depressed when he saw the hundreds of tribesmen descending from the giant boat. He thought he would send someone over before the tribesmen came Informed him, never thought that he had no news at all, it seems that Zhang Tongan, the patriarch of his family, did not pay attention to him, no matter how high his cultivation level is, a son is a son after all

Of course he was happy to meet his father and a few familiar clan members. What was depressed was that he saw his father chatting happily with Xu Qingxuan and Yue Ziqi. He didn't know what his father was thinking

As for the hundreds of clansmen with unfamiliar faces who came down from the flying boat, Zhang Shiping swept straight over and saw a young man who looked similar to his second brother Zhang Shihao. The second elder brother's grandson has the same aptitude as Zhang Shiping, and they are all monks with three spiritual roots. Zhang Shiping encouraged him a few words.

Then he walked with his father. In the past, he used jade slips to send messages, and some words were unclear and difficult to say. Now that the father and son have not seen each other for decades, there are some things that he wants to say, but they are always stuck in his throat. They walked a long way in the mountains, and the two of them didn't say a few words.

Chapter 328 Persuasion

Most of the words were asked by Zhang Tongan, and Zhang Shiping was answering.The hill under their feet, which was only a few hundred feet high, was soon under the feet of their father and son.

Most of the mountains by the sea are hills of more than a hundred feet or several hundred feet. The father and son stood on the top of the mountain and looked into the distance.

Under the blue sky, floating clouds are like dreams, and above the blue sea, the huge boats that are hundreds or thousands of feet long seem to be the size of ants.

The two squinted their eyes and looked into the distance. They didn't know how long it had been since they sat together so comfortably. Zhang Tongan's eyes were a little cloudy. He glanced at Zhang Shiping's profile from the corner of his eye. Time seems to go back to decades ago.

After more than half an hour, Zhang Shiping couldn't help but ask his father, what is the family's plan?

After saying this, his gray-haired father looked at Zhang Shiping, first sighed, and then slowly said some words to persuade Zhang Shiping to join Xuanyuanzong.

Zhang Shiping frowned, and wanted to say no, but when he heard his father Zhang Tong'an talk about the Zhang family's situation in the tens of years, seeing the family dying and being alone, he heard his father, Zhang Tong'an, talking about it in a panicked tone. Worried that the Zhang family will eventually die in his hands, then he will have no face after death, and go to see the ancestors of the Zhang family!

These words, Zhang Tongan usually hides in his heart. Since Zhang Huaiyu left, the burden on his shoulders has suddenly become a lot heavier. When he was in Baimang Mountain, he also considered joining Wanjianmen, but the Chen family stood up again. He came out, said something, revealed that Zhang Family used to have a Foundation Establishment cultivator, who was an inner disciple of Zhengyang Sect, and was highly valued by Zhengyang Sect. Anyway, the Chen family said this kind of thing more than once.

There are only nine Jindan cultivators of Wanjianmen, and they all hold great power. Fortunately, these Jindan masters have a lot of mutual understanding about how to deal with those families that have joined the sect but have not joined the sect. Opinions differ greatly.There are three Jindan masters who are killed, and naturally they want to kill them all, but the remaining five Jindan monks all feel that since the sect has occupied Baimang Mountain, they can't be like the previous Ten Thousand Blood Sect. Sneaky, ruthless is hot!

The king regards his ministers like soil mustard, and the ministers regard the emperor like a bandit.

Wan Jianmen wants to pass it on for a long time from now on, he has thunderous methods and a compassionate heart.There are countless families like the Zhang family in the entire Baimang Mountain. If they act too much, their hearts will inevitably be flustered, which is not good for the long-term inheritance of the sect. It is not a little generous to include them in the family and give them to other families who are watching. Take a reassurance.

But after this matter was reported to Zhenjun Yuxing, the meaning passed down by the ancestor of the sect was that it would not be difficult for these small families to ignore it. After more than a hundred years, all the monks related to the six sects would die. Later, mention this matter again!During this period of time, we must first cultivate the mainstay who is truly loyal to the sect. Baimang Mountain is too big, and there are still too few Jindan monks in Wanjianmen.

Therefore, Zhang Tongan returned to the family safe and sound even though the jade lotus root was written in disgrace, but the situation in the family remained unchanged, and seeing the monks on the ninth floor of Qi refining in the family, one by one failed to retreat and break through the foundation. It's a grimace.

Zhang Shiping listened to his father talking about the events of the coming year one by one, and finally his tone gradually became indifferent and relieved, but the more he listened, the more silent he became, he understood the meaning of his father's words.

Perhaps Zhang Tong'an felt that Zhang Shiping could not be treated too harshly, and finally said lightly that he would let Zhang Shiping make up his own mind. After all, the Zhang family can rely on him, the Jindan cultivator, and he should also stand on the side of a patriarch, In the position of the ancestor, the survival of the family was considered.

After finishing speaking, Zhang Tongan left Zhang Shiping alone, went down the mountain alone, and went to arrange for the clansmen.

Zhang Shiping sat quietly on the top of the mountain for a long time, and he didn't come down until dusk.

And Zhang Tongan was arranging things, seeing Zhang Shiping descending the mountain, he turned his head and saw Zhang Shiping nodded slowly, he was relieved, and the worry on his brows also dissipated.

……

……

"Master, was my master always like this, like this, like this when he was young?"

In the Emerald Bamboo Valley, a child like porcelain jade imitated Zhang Shiping, usually with a straight face, then frowned, and then said in a calm voice.

The child imitated Zhang Shiping's demeanor, and it really looked like five or six points, which made Zhang Tong'an laugh out loud.

Zhang Shiping heard the two talking in the house, so he frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Xi'er, enough rest, let's start practicing!"

"Master." When the two people outside the house heard Zhang Shiping's voice, Lin Xi'er immediately pursed her lips, shook Zhang Tong'an's arm, and said casually.

"Shi Ping, Xi'er is still young, there is no need to be so anxious about cultivation!" Zhang Tong'an looked at Lin Xi'er and said as if he regarded her as his granddaughter.A ten-year-old child with a second level of Qi training is already very good in his opinion.

In the past six months, under the arrangement of Zhang Shiping and Zhang Tongan, the development of the Zhang family has gradually embarked on the right track. In Binhai City, there are a few more Zhang family shops bearing the name of Xuanyuanzong, and Zhang Shiping entrusts the shipyard to manufacture several shops. A merchant ship with [-] materials was also launched, but the Zhang family had no other foundation-building monks outside of Zhang Tong'an, which made Zhang Shiping quite embarrassed.

He could only think of a middle way, and in the name of the elders of the Xuanyuan Sect's outer sect, he sent a mission to let two disciples in the middle stage of foundation establishment in the sect follow the merchant ship.For these two people alone, [-]% of the profit of the boat trip will be lost, but this is a normal price, and Zhang Shiping doesn't want to lose face and break the rules just for a little bit of Lingshi.

Although the South China Sea is an inland sea, there are not many sea beasts of the third level and above, but there are quite a few of the second level, and because the weather on the sea is changeable, all kinds of accidents happen quickly, so every time a merchant ship goes to sea, it needs to have a foundation. Even the protection of the golden core monks, at least to activate the hidden magic circle on the ship, if there is no foundation building monks to preside over it, it will be easy to expose flaws, and then attract groups of second-order sea beasts, and the ship will be destroyed. Just kidding.

However, the profits are huge, if Zhang Shiping is not the elder of Xuanyuanzong's outer sect, other commercial firms and Jindan family would not be so easy to let the merchant's route come.

In the past, there were several Jiji families united together. Their merchant ships had not gone far when they entered the water. They either encountered sea beasts or hit a hidden reef.

In the house, Zhang Shiping was a little helpless when he heard his father's words.Other people's disciples of Golden Core cultivators, if they are not serious in their cultivation, they will beat or scold them. If it is on his side, it is like raising a princess!

Just when he was shaking his head helplessly, he stood up and flew out of the magic circle. Seeing Cui Daoyou standing outside the magic circle with a smile on his face, Zhang Shiping guessed that the other party's affairs seemed to be settled.

Sure enough, as soon as Zhang Shiping walked out of the magic circle, Cui Xiaotian said to Zhang Shiping loudly: "Fellow Daoist Zhang, I have found the last Golden Core cultivator with Qingyang fire. I am really sorry for making you wait so long. Friends, get ready, I will come to Tianfeng Mountain in three days."

Chapter 329 Qingyang Fire Technique

Three days later, outside Tianfeng Mountain, at the entrance of the magic circle, a ray of blue light slowly fell on the pavement paved with blue stones.

Zhang Shiping stepped out, and saw eighteen young maidservants in Chinese robes and embroidered clothes, divided into two groups, standing on one side, Cui Xiaotian, wearing a moon white gown, standing in front, saw Zhang Shiping fall, He took a step forward and greeted him with a smile, the two said a few words, Cui Xiaotian asked the handsome maid behind him to lead Zhang Shiping to the welcoming garden in the mountains to wait for a while.

He himself was still in front of the magic circle, waiting for other Golden Core monks.

Zhang Shiping sat quietly in a welcoming garden in Tianfeng Mountain, until half a day later, the two handsome maidservants who were leading Zhang Shiping came back and whispered to Zhang Shiping, the Jindan senior, Go to the palace on top of the hill.

When Zhang Shiping flew from the halfway up Tianfeng Mountain to the palace on the top of the mountain, he had already heard two people chatting with each other in the palace, one of them was undoubtedly Cui Xiaotian, and the voice of the other was familiar to Zhang Shiping, as if it was I've heard it somewhere, but just can't remember it.

After he entered the palace, he saw Cui Xiaotian in moon white gown and Qi Feng in bronze armor sitting cross-legged on the futon in the palace. After Zhang Shiping saw this person's face, he suddenly thought, He cupped his hands and said to the other party: "I met fellow Daoist Cui and fellow Daoist Qi."

"Come on, Zhang Daoyou, please take a seat." Cui Xiaotian pointed to a blue futon next to him and said, and Qi Feng also nodded kindly towards Zhang Shiping.

Zhang Shiping did not refuse, he sat cross-legged, chatted with the two about some things, and asked some interesting things that happened these days. Five people came over, and Cui Xiaotian greeted them one by one without losing his courtesy.

When everyone was looking at the only vacant blue futon in the palace, a clear voice came in from the door: "Dear friends, Xuan Su is late, please don't blame me."

Afterwards, a tall and thin middle-aged man with fair skin like a woman, pale and bloodless face, but with a rare restrained and elegant expression came in. He was holding a graceful, Luo Yi A beautiful woman in a long gown, this woman has lilac flowers on her eyebrows, she is charming and charming, and the two of them are quite harmonious.

Master Xuan Su led the beautiful woman into the palace, and introduced the beautiful concubine beside him who had just moved into the house to the seven Golden Core monks present, and the woman also turned to the present The Golden Core cultivator slowly performed a blessing ceremony, and Yingsheng said hello.However, the Golden Core cultivator present just nodded his head lightly, as he had already returned the gift.A female cultivator in the foundation-building period is just a concubine, but if Xuansu Daoist is a wife who is married by a bright matchmaker, then they will not be so casual.

The maidservant waiting outside the palace brought a futon over lightly, and after putting it down, quietly retreated out again, without making any sound during the whole process.

Zhang Shiping looked at the woman, a coldness flashed in his eyes, but then disappeared, as if he had never appeared, even Cui Xiaotian next to him didn't notice it.

Seeing that everyone has arrived, as the owner of this place, Cui Xiaotian first introduced Qi Feng, who was sitting on his right hand, to everyone.

Among the monks present, apart from Cui Xiaotian, Qi Feng, Zhang Shiping, and Daoist Xuansu who came in just now, the rest were three men and two women, five Jindan monks.

Among them is a chubby, sinister and narrow-eyed real Huquan who is surrounded by fat on his face when he smiles; an old man with a face as yellow as a tree root, real Qianmu; and another who is about the same shape as Qi Feng A burly man with savage horns and a real person.

As for Jindan female cultivators Yushi Zhenren and Yuyu Zhenren, both of them are wearing bright and beautiful short jackets with golden flower decorations, a short jacket touching the ground underneath, and a head of jet-black hair, coiled into a The high bun, but one person has a cold expression, revealing a feeling of repelling others thousands of miles away, and one person is eccentric and has not grown up.

When Cui Xiaotian introduced Zhang Shiping to everyone, the real Xuansu said in a strange tone: "So this is fellow Daoist Zhang, and indeed he is a gentleman who understands current affairs. This concubine is the same as Zhang Daoyou, from the Zhengyang sect, but now she is an elder of the outer sect of Xuanyuan sect. I have to learn more from fellow daoists about this skill of adapting to the wind. Yes or no"

Zhang Shiping looked indifferent, but the beautiful concubine next to the real Xuansu gently pulled the sleeve of the real Xuansu, and said softly: "Husband, don't say any more, Mr. Zhang must have a last resort, everyone has it." What about my own difficulties, Uncle Zhang, my husband has no intention of speaking, so please don’t hold grudges in your heart.”

"No matter how I act, it will never be up to you, an old woman who killed her husband, to speak up. Master Xuansu, you have to recognize it, and don't be killed by the person next to your bed in the middle of the night." Zhang Shiping watched the two sing together. , Said lightly, then ignored the two of them.

For joining the Xuanyuan Sect, Zhang Shiping felt a little guilty in his heart, but everyone else in the Zhengyang Sect could say that he was not, only this Lin Wenbai couldn't.

It's just that in life, how can we be affectionate and righteous in everything, from the beginning to the end Zhang Shiping secretly sighed in his heart, but he never showed his face

Zhang Shiping looked at Xuansu's real person, but he didn't look like the kind of Jindan real person who was easily fascinated by the person next to his pillow, but when he heard Zhang Shiping's words, he really showed a look of surprise But he still said forcefully: "You don't need Zhang Daoyou, the elder of Xuanyuanzong's outer sect, to care about it."

"Reverend Xuansu, Zhang Daoyou was recruited by Zhenjun Duyu from my sect. Are you saying that Zhenjun Duyu has a problem with his vision, or do you have any opinion on my Xuanyuanzong?" Cui Xiaotian said quietly, looking at Master Xuansu. , There was also a trace of coldness in his eyes, although he wanted to ask the real Xuansu, but he was not the only one.

"Small things are just small things. Let's say it after I've said it. Fellow Daoist Cui, you should make arrangements quickly. Finish the refinement earlier, so that everyone can relax earlier. Don't you think?" The chubby-faced real Huquan said Pushing the fat on his face, he said for Xuansu Daoist, at the same time secretly glanced at Xuansu Daoist with his eyes that could hardly see the eyeballs.

Reverend Huquan cursed inwardly, this Reverend Xuansu has lived for four or five hundred years, and he would be mesmerized by a mere concubine who built a foundation.

Cui Xiaotian was silent for a while, and then waved his hands and emitted a few red lights, "This is the Qingyang fire method for refining Qingyang gourds, everyone, please take a look first. Let the ugly words first, and then something goes wrong. Don’t blame me for turning my face and denying people.”

Chapter 330 Yan Island

Zhang Shiping took the jade slip and looked at it immediately, as if the previous incident had never happened at all.He understands that the real Xuansu, no matter how bewitched by beauty, is a middle-stage Jindan immortal cultivator, but if they really fight, they will not be able to refine it just because of Zhang Shiping's real name. Jin Dan, I'm afraid I won't be able to run away.

Although he took a step back and became more and more angry, he still persuaded himself in his heart and endured it for a while, calm and calm.

Zhang Shiping was more and more surprised by this Qingyang fire technique. He originally thought that his Qingyang fire was only helpful for alchemy and weapon refining during the Qi training stage and foundation building stage. Finally, with the golden core and real fire, it is useless.

After half an hour, Zhang Shiping slowly put down the jade slip. He can be sure that the monk who created this kind of exercise must be a monk with Qingyang fire. In terms of research, the research was extremely thorough and went extremely far. Among them, some of the application methods of Qingyanghuo mentioned in the jade slips directly opened Zhang Shiping's eyes.

Among the Golden Core cultivators present, except for Cui Xiaotian and Qi Feng, their expressions were not much different from Zhang Shiping's.

Seeing everyone put down the jade slips in their hands one by one, with a thoughtful look on their faces, Cui Xiaotian didn't bother, he waited for a while until everyone came back to their senses.

Only then did he lead the crowd to fly to the foot of the mountain, in front of a hot rock cave.

Outside Luming Harbor, a huge iron and wood boat hundreds of feet long slowly docked.This Luming Port was originally just a shallow water port, and it could not berth a huge boat of hundreds of feet, but Xuan Yuanzong deliberately dug it deep and expanded it, and it has become a deep water port today, attracting countless huge boats every year. Berthing at the shore, loading and unloading cargo, very prosperous

"Brother Zheng, why did you take so long this trip?" As soon as a huge black iron and wooden boat docked, a middle-aged man in a black robe flew down from the huge boat, and immediately there was a The late-stage Qi training monk, who looked dark and thin, trotted over and asked.

"Damn it, your brother, I almost won't be able to come back. I have to talk to my ancestors this time. I won't be able to go out to sea during this period of time." He spit on the ground, with fear hidden in his eyes, he cursed loudly to give himself courage.

"Brother Zheng, if that's not the case, you also met those guys." The black and thin monk took a breath, hissed, looked around, and then whispered: "A few days ago, When the Li family's boat met those guys, they were all dead, and when they were discovered, the boat was full of dead bodies."

"What are you talking about? I'm talking about meeting a third-tier ancient beast. Fortunately, I activated the concealment circle on the ship in time. In addition, the ancient beast was very stupid, so I escaped. What? The boat was full of corpses, what a dry thing, could it be that something big happened these days?" Zheng Hengyun took out a cigarette stick from the storage bag, took out shredded tobacco from the small brocade bag, and asked with a frown. He paid a little attention to what the nearby monks were doing, and saw that some of them were frowning and their faces were full of fear.

"Just half a year ago, when Brother Zheng had just set out to sea, someone found dozens of merchant ships, and their blood was sucked dry by birds and beasts covered in black armor and white hair. The news is that the ancestors of the Li family did it himself. , hiding on the giant boat, repelling those black-armored and white-haired strange birds, and spread the news. And these days, I heard that not only our side, but also other Zongmen sea areas, more or less added up There are already hundreds of them. Those strange birds look like fish, and they fly in groups of tens of thousands. Unless it is a merchant ship with Jindan Daoist in command, it is hard to escape." This black and thin Qi training The monk, with a sad face.

Since the ancestors of the Li family spread the news of the strange bird, and more and more merchant ships were killed, the number of merchant ships going to sea has decreased a lot compared to before. With fewer ships, the coolies under their gang have lost a lot of livelihood. .Of course, the lives of these qi-training monks are no longer as moist as before.

"Heitou, arrange for your people to unload the goods." Zheng Hengyun pressed the shredded tobacco in the pipe, lit the fire, smoked one puff at a time, and exhaled puffs of white smoke.

"Uncle Zheng, you finally came back, but you scared me to death. Master said, after you come back this time, don't go out to sea again. Wait for the Zongmen to investigate the strange fish in the sea and catch them all before going out to sea. During this time, cultivate hard first." A young female cultivator in a dress outside the pier slowly fell from the sky.

This is a 24 to 60-year-old, tall, nine-level qi training female cultivator, who is Zhang Shiping's apprentice Lin Xi'er.After Zheng Hengyun's dantian's injury improved, he took a foundation building pill given to him by Zhang Shiping, and succeeded in building a foundation. At last, he did not exceed [-] years old.Even if the Jindan cultivator of Xuanyuanzong didn't accept any missions, he would be given a Foundation Establishment Pill every five years. Zhang Shiping handed over the Foundation Establishment Pill he had just obtained to Zheng Hengyun.Of course, if you want to get more, you need to complete the mission of the sect.

But for Lin Xi'er, Zhang Shiping had already confessed all her cultivation resources to her father, Zhang Tong'an, before going to Tianfeng Mountain.Although Zhang Shiping's net worth is not rich, it couldn't be easier to support a monk with dual spiritual roots in the Qi training period.
