From a young medicine seller to a Taoist master

Yingchuan had already prepared to stay here for a long time, and the quiet sea water had no effect on him.

As for why the Qinghai Yin Sect was so slow, although it was a large oil field, it was a poor oil field and was very scattered. It also took a lot of effort to move the mountains at that time, and it also had to deal with some previous messes, so the speed was so slow.

Yingchuan is relatively concentrated and is at the bottom of the trench, so the constant overflow makes mining in Yingchuan more convenient.

Yingchuan continued to collect, but as he expected, these "mermaids" were social creatures, even the golden elixir was the same.

That creature was probably the head of the family. Ying Chuan judged from the brief encounter before that this creature had an extremely high IQ. An ordinary one should be about the same as a human, or slightly lower.

Ying Zijian opened a sword formation and kept moving himself around, using the sword in his hand extremely skillfully with a calm mind. Ying Chuan wanted to take this opportunity to find his own sword intent.

The sword intent can only be realized by a sword cultivator who has mastered the sword technique, or through his own understanding. There is no shortcut.

In fact, there is no real shortcut to cultivation. Some opportunities only speed up the process, and fighting is the best way to test it. Therefore, those top figures all fought to get to the top. Those who were calm and did not fight or compete would have been eliminated by this world long ago.

Ying Chuan was concentrating on collecting the black oil, while Ying Zijian was killing monsters non-stop. He was now fully committed to it, and no "mermaid" could withstand his sword and they were all chopped down by him.

The terrain of the land turned into a huge hole, and Ying Zijian guarded the entrance to Suidao. One man blocking the way was impossible for ten thousand men to break through.

It is uncertain how many mermaids there are in a "mermaid" family. Ying Zijian has killed hundreds of them, and there are still quite a few, but the remaining ones are only some at the Qi training level.

Mermaids lay eggs, which results in a huge number of them. It is estimated that there should be thousands of them in this family.

There were three Jindan-level "mermaids" in total, and Ying Zijian took them all in. They were top-quality refining materials, and if they couldn't be used up they could be sold for a large sum. The sales of "mermaids" have always been very good.

As for other creatures, there should be none. From the information we heard from some people before, we can judge that these "mermaids" like to occupy one place, so there should be no powerful monsters in this place.

……

After a month of non-stop efforts, the entire oil field was basically fully mined. The amount of 261 tons was quite a lot.

Yingchuan didn't stay for long and quickly rushed to the nearest city. This would take a long time to deal with.

Haikou City is a big city with huge city walls. People come and go, and many monks live there temporarily. It is extremely prosperous.

This is your order to leave the city, senior. The guarding soldier handed a token to Yingchuan.

This is mainly for easier management and to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Yingchuan accepted it and went straight into several cities without thinking too much.

This kind of sea city is usually built by leveling a large rock or an island, and sometimes there may be tides.

The city wall token can maximize the use of the city's power to resist the tide.

Yingchuan randomly found a cave to rent and planned to stay there temporarily, but then he was told that the golden elixir was free, which was such a good thing that it fell from the sky.

Yingchuan knew why this was the case. It was to resist the tide and to better mobilize the fighting forces in the city.

But he still stayed. This thing was actually a psychological warfare, and it only worked on those who were not very strong and timid.

But he still had one thing to do, which was to deal with the "mermaid".

The sword made by the "mermaid" bone is more useful than the sword in Yingchuan's hand, and those things have a certain deterrent effect.

The spine of the "mermaid" at the beginning was taken out and thrown into the refining furnace, and some other materials were added.

……

Three days later, the shark bone sword came out. The sword was four feet long, and it flashed with cold light and was extremely sharp.

Afterwards, he went to the material auction. Although the prices might be much cheaper than individual selling prices, Yingchuan didn't care at all. He just bought them at random.

Yingchuan found the branch owner, who was the branch of the largest trading family in Jingzhou. Finding them could avoid some unnecessary problems.

Fellow Daoist, what do you need from me? The branch owner is a female cultivator who is in the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm. She looks ordinary, but she is dressed in gorgeous clothes and behaves elegantly. She has a kind of affinity.

Yingchuan took out the storage ring and handed it to her. As for the rest, it was just an appraisal.

Although she was a little surprised, she remained calm. She had seen geniuses before, so there was nothing to be surprised about.

Fellow Daoist, I cannot say much about your situation, but her situation is a bit tricky. She wants to use this opportunity to narrow the distance between the two parties.

Geniuses are always worth making friends with, this is an eternal truth.

I don’t have any requirements, but Yingchuan is more casual.

Okay, I'll quote a price. If you think it's okay, then let's sell it. She knows that the best thing to win over people like Yingchuan is tangible benefits.

Of course Yingchuan knew what she was up to, but he didn't take it too seriously. He was calm in his heart, but his expression showed that he agreed.

There are not many of these things on the market, and their value is quite good, so there must be a lot of spirit stones, and the price must be high.

She tentatively quoted a price of three hundred thousand medium-grade spirit stones. This price was acceptable, but Yingchuan wanted to take advantage of her psychology to raise the price.

Seeing that Yingchuan didn't say anything, she thought the price was too low.

Three hundred and ten thousand… She kept raising the price, and finally it was sold at three hundred and seventy thousand medium-grade spirit stones, which was a very high price.

Yingchuan knew that the price couldn't be higher and he had to stop at the right time, so he finally completed the transaction at a price of 370,000.

Yingchuan is not short of money, so this is just a drop in the bucket for him.

He returned to the cave and decided to practice in seclusion.

And his every move in the city was under surveillance, not because someone was targeting him, but because they were targeting his abilities.

He detected that the next tide was about to come, and although Yingchuan had not taken action, judging from his transactions and refining, his combat power must be extraordinary and worth winning over.

Three days later, the detection array in Haikou City sounded a huge alarm, indicating that a tide was coming.

A wealth of experience in dealing with the situation allowed Haikou to respond quickly without any panic.

The city was under martial law, and all the city's resources were turned to city defense. All the golden elixirs for defending the city were ready, and there were also some independent golden elixir cultivators, but the combat effectiveness of these independent cultivators was worrying.

Those Jindan who are truly powerful are all extremely smart and it is impossible for them to suddenly be stupid enough to take risks.
