Longevity starts with choosing Hextech enhancement

Chapter 201: Pseudo-spiritual creature: Skybird
Master Yucha took Xiao Chen fishing not just for enjoyment.

Another important reason is to avoid the fourth-level monsters in the boundary sea.

There are so many spirit fish in the sea that even if the possibility of bloodline mutation is only one in ten thousand, the number of mutated spirit fish that will eventually be born will be countless.

With more numbers, there will always be some spirit fish that can break through to the fourth level.

Turn a large area of ​​sea into its own territory.

According to the information that Fu Hai Zong has, there are quite a few such cases.

And which sea areas have fourth-level monsters is also one of the important information for Fuhai Sect to survive.

When a thunderstorm comes, the fourth-level big fish also have to hide, so they will leave their original territory and return after the thunderstorm ends.

Therefore, the Fu Hai had to stop and wait for everything to recover before continuing to move forward.

Otherwise, if they ran into a fourth-level big fish on the way, all the people on the boat would be killed.

Drifted in the same place for three days.

Only after all the fish had passed did the Fu Hai resume its progress.

Before, it was almost moving in a straight line, brushing against the edge of the thunderstorm.

Now that the normal flight path has been restored, it appears from the sky that it is basically circling all day long.

After walking for more than two months, we have arrived at the middle of the boundary sea.

Therefore, it is often necessary to travel tens of thousands of miles to avoid a fourth-level big fish.

Yu Cha Zhenren, who was in charge of controlling the direction, no longer had the leisure time he had at the beginning. He personally calculated the direction frequently to adjust the course.

As a result, Xiao Chen had no one to talk to to relieve his boredom, so he simply started reading the book "An Initial Explanation of the Art of Formations".

Although the art of formation is extensive and profound, it is not difficult to just get started.

The range that a first-level formation can affect is usually no more than a few hundred feet.

Now Xiao Chen has become a Jindan Zhenren. He can use his spiritual sense to easily sense the changes in spiritual energy in a large area, which is very helpful for him to understand the principle of how formations connect heaven and earth.

In the middle of the process, he would also take time to practice the Fire-Absorbing Treasure Scroll or the Delusion-Breaking Spirit Eye as a way of adjustment.

In a blink of an eye, more than ten days have passed.

On this day, Xiao Chen had just finished reading a short chapter in "An Initial Explanation of Formation" and was planning to take a break.

As a result, when I pushed open the yellow pear wood window, I saw an extremely thick stream of water rising high in the distance.

At first glance, it looked about forty or fifty feet high, with wisps of white smoke rising nearby.

A closer look revealed that the water column was at least two or three hundred miles away from the Fu Hai. It was just that there were no obstructions in the vast sea, so it was clearer.

According to calculations, it should actually be several hundred feet high.

Xiao Chen looked around and found that there were not just one such water column, but seven or eight.

Each one emitted a large amount of white smoke, which covered the middle of the water column with mist and made it difficult to see clearly.

Instead, it makes people imagine and wonder if there is anything special about it.

Many monks were also standing on the deck at this time, discussing with great interest.

When the two Jindan Zhenren were in the attic, they could also come out to enjoy the scenery.

"Fellow Daoist Yanlong, come, come, have a drink."

Yucha Zhenren just walked in and said: "After passing the Jiure Spring, we are basically safe. We must have a couple of drinks to relax."

"It just so happens that today I want to tell you about the time when I was in Xilai Country and fought a passing monk."

"I guarantee you haven't heard of this before."

Monks are Buddhist practitioners, and Xiao Chen has also read related records in "Journey to the East".

It is said that the power is not small, but it is not common in Jingkonghai. Occasionally, wandering monks pass by to preach.

"Fellow Daoist Yucha, that water column in the distance is the Nine-Res Spring?"

Xiao Chen was not in a hurry to listen to the story. He was also a little curious about what was going on.

I've seen so many formations these past two days that I feel like they're some kind of formation that uses clouds and fog to block vision.

Maybe there are some relics or secret places hidden inside.

"Hey, they're just a few bigger fountains."

True Man Yucha shook his head: "Back then, a True Lord in the Eastern Region personally went to investigate and said that it was the vein of the earth where the Bing Fire originated. In short, it was just a coincidence."

"It's still early, actually."

"If we had come two or three months later, it would have been filled with white mist and lingering fairy air, just like a fairyland on earth."

"Don't underestimate the distance. If a south wind blows, the thick fog will drift over and cover an area of ​​a thousand miles."

He was already used to such scenes, so he didn't find it strange.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen turned around and looked out the window again.

Unfortunately, after learning that it was just a fountain, it suddenly lost its previous charm.

So he sat back and saw two more spiritual fruits on the table.

"Fellow Daoist Yanlong, please try the purple-striped figs from Jingkong Sea."

"Third-level spiritual fruit?"

Xiao Chen took it up and took a look, then immediately shook his head: "I've drunk a lot of your spirit wine these days, and I feel really bad about it. How can I share the spirit fruit with you?"

"Please put it away quickly, fellow Daoist."

He was a little surprised, as third-level spiritual objects were definitely rare in the Southern Region.

Even though Haozhou is close to the Eastern Region, there is no reason for it to be so rich, right?
"Hahaha~!"

However, Master Yucha laughed heartily: "Fellow Daoist Yanlong, I knew you must be overthinking it."

Ok?
What do you mean?
Xiao Chen was a little curious: "What do you mean, Daoist Yucha?"

"Hehe, the purple-veined fig is a third-level spiritual fruit, yes, but it's not the kind of third-level spiritual object that Daoist Fellow is thinking of."

Yucha Zhenren asked proudly, "Fellow Daoist, why don't you guess how many spirit stones this spiritual fruit is worth?"

"Let me give you a tip first. It's not expensive at all."

Most cultivators coming out of the Southern Region are influenced by the environment.

Therefore, showing off one's knowledge to the newly promoted Jindan was also a pleasure that Master Yucha discovered on the boat.

"Since it's not expensive, then I guess one thousand spirit stones?"

Xiao Chen was not annoyed. After thinking about it, he tried to give a price.

After all, they are all third-level spiritual objects. They can't be sold for only a few hundred spirit stones, right?

"Hey, it really is one thousand spirit stones."

Yucha Zhenren's tone rose: "One thousand spirit stones can buy a box, and a box contains ten."

After he finished speaking, he saw Xiao Chen's puzzled look.

So he smiled and explained: "To be honest, fellow Daoist, when I first saw it, I was also quite puzzled."

"This is a third-level spiritual fruit, how can it be sold so cheaply?"

"Later, I made some inquiries and found out that there are still many pseudo-spiritual creatures in the Eastern Region."

"For example, this purple-veined fig is a specialty of Purple Veined Island. On this Purple Veined Island, there is a natural fourth-level spiritual spring."

"If you carefully water ordinary figs with the island's fourth-tier spiritual spring, you can grow purple-striped figs rich in spiritual energy."

"If a cultivator eats it to satisfy his craving, hey, it's really not much different from a real third-level spiritual fruit."

"If you want to use it for cultivation, it's far better to absorb the spirit stones directly."

"To put it bluntly, it can be summed up in five words: good-looking but useless."
.
Yucha Zhenren finished his speech and did not forget to remind: "Daoyou Yanlong will go to Jingkong Sea later. It is best to find out more before buying spiritual objects."

"There are quite a few vendors out there who love to pass off inferior goods as good ones, and many of my colleagues have suffered losses."

"Generally speaking, it's more reliable to go to time-honored places like Wanxianlou or Changxingfang. Although the prices are a bit higher, the quality is guaranteed."

Xiao Chen had seen the two shops he mentioned in more than one travelogue.

The general evaluation is that the prices are expensive, and most things are 20% to 30% higher than the outside world.

Of course, there are also advantages, that is, there are a wide variety of items, and some less popular supplies are also for sale.

"Boom~!"

Suddenly there was a loud noise outside, as if the spirit boat had hit something.

Xiao Chen released his spiritual sense instantly and saw an ice wall hundreds of miles long rising in front of him.

At the same time, a large number of ice cones were thrown out from behind the wall, hitting the spiritual power shield that was automatically propped up by the Fu Hai with a cold light.

The spiritual consciousness passed through the ice wall that was more than ten feet thick and could see tens of thousands of sea fish.

They are continuously ejecting ice cones underwater.

There are about a thousand of them in the first two rows, and each one emits spiritual energy fluctuations equivalent to the foundation-building stage.

Although the fish school behind did not have a high level of cultivation, they had the advantage of being numerous. They began to consume the spirit stones in the formation with the help of ice cones.

Suddenly attacked by a school of fish, the boat immediately sounded a warning buzzer.

The foundation-building monks returned to the cabin as soon as possible, and prepared to provide magic power to the formation with nervous mood.

Xiao Chen frowned slightly and wanted to get up and go out to take a look.

"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Yanlong. This is just a test."

Yucha Zhenren was obviously very experienced: "Who knows where that third-level ice fish is hiding now."

"These small fish are enough to be dealt with by the defensive formation. Let's just drink."

As he spoke, he poured Xiao Chen a full bowl of wine.

A blue light flashed on the mast of the Fu Hai, and the entire ship immediately rushed forward, crashing through the ice wall and continuing to move forward.

Some of the fish tried to rebuild the ice wall, but it was of no avail.

After a short while, the Fu Hai actually shook off the school of ice fish behind it.

This is actually one of the experiences summarized by Master Yucha. Most third-level sea fish are also very cautious and will not easily provoke another behemoth.

Unless it is really hungry and urgently needs to catch prey.

Or maybe he made a misjudgment and thought he had enough strength to destroy the Fu Hai, so he pursued it relentlessly.

"Fellow Daoist Yanlong, let me tell you, that incident happened almost sixty years ago."

Yucha Zhenren continued his story: "At that time, I went to Xilai Country to help the sect purchase supplies. I had just finished the discussion and was about to leave."

"I just happened to meet an old monk wearing a star-studded red gold robe, and a group of young monks wearing moon-white robes, passing by the main street."

"That old guy looked kind, but I knew at first glance that he was not a good person."

……

"Boom~!"

The story had barely begun when the Fu Hai shook violently, causing the Zhen Hai Pavilion to shake three times.

An ice wall far more magnificent than the previous one blocked the way ahead, blocking the route.

A larger number of ice fish threw out ice cones from all directions, mixed with ice arrows, water knives, water guns and other spells.

A thirty-foot-long figure swam in the sea, circling around the Fuhai.

Xiao Chen's spiritual sense probed into the water and immediately came into contact with another cold spiritual sense.

In an instant, his consciousness felt as if it was blown by a gust of cold wind, and he subconsciously shrank back.

There is no mistake this time. The thing below is definitely a third-level ice fish, and it has already set its sights on the Fuhai.

"Damn it, you're looking for death!"

Immortal Yucha immediately slammed the table and stood up: "Fellow Daoist, please wait a moment. I will go and deal with that evil beast and come back later."

As he said this, he strode onto the deck. Xiao Chen did not wait in the attic, but followed him out to observe the situation.

First of all, if there is any situation, I can help.

Secondly, I wanted to see how powerful the legendary three-toothed sea jade fork was.

However, he saw Yucha Zhenren reach out and pat the storage bag, taking out four small flags.

Three sides are brown with eight characters of secret text on them, and one side is bright gold with a cloud-piercing sword painted on it.

He first spread out the small flags in front of him one by one, and suddenly the flags emitted spiritual light and floated in the air.

Runes flashed one after another, echoing with the flags hanging on the mast.

Then, Yucha Zhenren stretched out his right hand, pointed his finger like a sword at the bright golden flag, and said, "Rise!"

Above the Fu Hai, spiritual light immediately gathered and formed a golden sword that was twelve meters long.

Then, he pointed his backhand into the sea and shouted, "Kill!"

The sword immediately found a target and chopped down at the ice fish in the water.

"Wow~!"

In an instant, water splashed everywhere, creating two huge waves.

Before the golden sword fell, the sword energy had already split the sea water around the ice fish into two.

It not only locked its position, but also denied it the opportunity to use seawater for defense.

"Pfft!"

The sound of a sharp blade piercing flesh was heard, and a stream of dark blue blood spurted out of the ice fish, and hundreds of scales fell off.

The ice fish felt the pain and immediately swung its tail, diving deeper and running away in a hurry.

Xiao Chen's hands and feet had already prepared their spells, but after thinking about it, he decided not to take action and let the ice fish leave.

Although it shouldn't be difficult to take it down, there's no need to make things more complicated.

The True Yang Fire Dragon made too much noise, especially since there was sea water everywhere.

If it attracts more third-level sea fish or even a fourth-level monster, it would be a waste of time and effort.

Once you gain a foothold in the Eastern Region, there will be plenty of opportunities to obtain third-level monster meat, so there is no need to be impatient.

"Fellow Daoist Yanlong, how powerful is my Great Golden Light Sword Formation?"

Yucha Zhenren pinched his fingers to retract the formation flag and asked with a smile, "Did you still catch the Taoist's eye?"

This sword formation originated from the Eastern Region. After being improved, it was fixed on the Fu Hai and was specifically used to kill sea fish.

Xiao Chen secretly estimated that this sword formation looked like the attack of a Jindan Zhenren.

So he nodded and said, "Indeed, he is amazing, no less than a fellow who has mastered the art of swordsmanship."

It is estimated that it has about one-tenth of the power of the True Yang Fire Dragon. It may not be effective against Master Nie Jing, but it should be no problem to deal with Master Gui Jiao.

If Lingyuan Sect had such a powerful sword formation, they might not have been lost in Xunmeishan.

"Hahaha!"

Hearing the compliment, Yucha Zhenren was in a good mood: "I knew it, fellow Daoist is indeed a person who knows the value of things."

"With this formation and my jade fork, ordinary schools of fish can't do anything to us."

As the ice fish escaped, the ice wall, having lost the support of its true essence, could no longer hold on and broke into pieces.

The Fu Hai passed through easily and continued to sail towards the eastern region.
.
Master Yucha said that the school of fish could not do anything to the Fuhai.

Facts have proved that it is true.

A month later, they encountered a school of fish surrounding their boat again, and they successfully drove them away with the help of the Great Golden Sword Formation.

The trip has come to an end, thanks to the time saved by the thunderstorm.

However, when there were only 50,000 miles left, they encountered a flock of skybirds.

"Damn it, just a few days!"

Master Yucha frowned, looking at the three big birds circling in the sky, seeming to be at a loss as to what to do.

The airbird lives by the sea and usually feeds on marine fish.

This spiritual bird has a powerful bloodline. As long as it grows successfully to adulthood, it will naturally become a third-level monster, equivalent to a Jindan Zhenren.

Moreover, they are naturally close to the wind and can easily blow out strong gusts of wind to attack their prey.

In other words, the Fu Hai is now surrounded by three wind spirit root Jindan cultivators.

"Fortunately, we are very close to the fellow Daoists of the Jinxia Sect. We can contact them to come and help us."

Master Yucha took out an exquisite compass and then activated it at a specific frequency.

It’s not that he didn’t try to use the Great Golden Sword Formation, but facing the extremely fast and powerful Skybird, the power of the sword formation was immediately greatly reduced.

Either the sword light was dodged or shattered by the strong wind.

His most powerful jade fork also faces the same problem, that is, it can restrain water-type monsters, but is not good at fighting against wind-type monsters.

"Oh~!"

After struggling for a long time, Yucha Zhenren couldn't help but sigh, "Why did I have to run into the Sky Birds, and encounter several of them at once?"

At the same time, he glanced at Xiao Chen from the corner of his eye to observe his reaction.

He had just tried everything he could do in front of Xiao Chen, and the results did not seem ideal.

Moreover, he has revealed in stories many times during these days while drinking that the jade fork is not good against the air.

Logically speaking, Xiao Chen should take the initiative to express his opinion now, right?
He has laid so much groundwork, it shouldn't arouse unnecessary suspicion, right?

That’s right, the flying birds in the sky were not an accident, but a premeditated attack.

The purpose is very simple, which is to lure Xiao Chen into taking action and expose his own strength and magic in the battle.

They didn't have any particularly bad intentions, they were simply conducting a test of strength.

This will make it easier for the Jinxia Sect to assess his potential and decide whether to win him over after he comes ashore.

After all, if you want to bribe a Jindan cultivator, you will definitely have to pay a hefty price, and you will also have to allocate corresponding resources later.

If we had to take one for every one we saw, even the Jinxia Sect, with its wealth and power, would not be able to afford it.

They only need elites who are expected to give birth to babies, or fighters with exceptional strength, rather than scoundrels who come to the Eastern Region to try their luck.

If you use normal means, it is not easy to find out a person's situation.

For this reason, the Jinxia Sect released the air-crossing birds they had trained.

There is nothing better than a battle to test the strength of a strange monk.

Of course, in order to achieve this goal, especially without arousing Xiao Chen's suspicion.

The Jinxia Sect and Yucha Zhenren carried out an elaborate plan.

From the moment he boarded the boat, it was hinted that he might encounter monsters along the way, and he would need to take action at that time.

In the stories along the way, the information that Yucha is unable to fight against the Sky Dodo was intentionally interspersed.

At the end, a compass was deliberately arranged to connect the scenes.

In fact, it is of course impossible to wait for reinforcements.

Finally, let Master Yucha not take the initiative to ask Xiao Chen for help, but let him offer to help himself.

Even the most calculating person will eventually doubt the motives of others.

Instead of doubting whether there is something wrong with what you want to do.

This plan had been perfected over generations, and even the location chosen for the execution was carefully planned.

The distance of fifty thousand miles is exactly the psychological dividing line between the safety and security of a Jindan cultivator.

Beyond this distance, tension may arise, leading to unnecessary suspicion.

However, since they are already so close to the shore, their safety is guaranteed, and knowing that help is coming, the monks will definitely not feel any psychological pressure and will not have any wild thoughts.

The plan went smoothly.

Xiao Chen looked at the flying bird in the sky and asked, "Fellow Daoist Yucha, why don't we open the formation and deal with the monster in the sky directly?"

He was mainly thinking about Master Yucha who provided him with a lot of information and often treated him to food and drinks.

So I wanted to help him save some spirit stones for the formation.

"This... Oh, it might be a bit difficult for the two of us to deal with three airbirds."

Yucha Zhenren was delighted, but said worriedly, "It's unwise to fight with a small number of people. We might get into trouble if we fight."

"Now that I've informed the Jinxia Sect, why don't we wait a while?"

In fact, his own safety would not be a problem, as those flying birds could recognize Master Yucha.

But normal Jindan cultivators would definitely care about defeating the majority with the minority.

So in order to make the performance more realistic, we still have to worry a lot.

"Oh."

Xiao Chen nodded: "That's fine."

Since Master Yucha is worried about getting hurt, then forget it.

His thoughts were actually not that complicated at all. He could take action or watch the show; it didn't really matter.

For other cultivators, fifty thousand miles is actually not close.

But for Xiao Chen, it was just a matter of a few hours.

Ok?
Master Yucha was a little surprised. Are you giving up now?
Fortunately, they are just acting and have follow-up plans.

After a while, the compass in his hand shook and began to flicker.

Yucha Zhenren pretended to look at the signal for a while, then his face turned bitter: "Not good!"

"The fellow Daoists of the Jinxia Sect encountered a school of fish on their way and couldn't get through for a while."

"And they say a lot of fish are gathering here. It's very dangerous to stay here any longer."

"Fellow Daoist Yanlong, we may have to give it a try."

There was a hint of hesitation, a bit of solemnity, and just the right amount of uneasiness in his tone.

"Oh."

Xiao Chen nodded: "That's fine."

He looked for a long time and the three flying birds seemed ordinary and didn't seem to have much strength.

Taking advantage of the gap in the gale, the defensive formation flashed and the two flew out of the boat.

"Fellow Daoist Yanlong, I'll deal with the one on the left and the one in the middle. You just help me contain the one on the right."

Just as Master Yucha was reciting his lines, he saw three swooping birds suddenly turn around and flee halfway through their flight.

Ok?
How is this going?

Why did the actor run away?

The next moment, he saw a giant fire dragon that he would never forget in his life, and it immediately chased after him.

Before Master Yucha could react, the three flying birds had already turned into burning birds.

Is this a newly promoted golden elixir?

Master Yucha opened his mouth wide and looked at Xiao Chen in disbelief, with an indescribable shock hidden under his brows.

This was just as powerful as the seniors from the Jinxia Sect he had met.

In the past hundred years in the Sea of ​​​​Boundary, he has seen many Jindan Zhenren heading to the Eastern Region.

In terms of strength, Xiao Chen is undoubtedly the strongest one.

　Asking for a monthly ticket!
