Practice begins with a fisherman

It came towards his neck with a pair of extremely sharp and big die teeth that could eat anything, and several hard mouse hairs shot out from the short tail to attack his different vital points at the same time.

How can the power contained in these seemingly inconspicuous rat hairs be the same?After being nourished by the Shu King's mana for many years, the power of each root is more than some second-order high-grade spiritual weapons.

Although they cannot play a decisive role in battles of the same level, they are still more than enough to disturb the enemy, and their speed is also very fast, far exceeding the speed of the golden retriever itself.

It can be imagined that the golden retriever mouse is good at sneak attacking in terms of speed, and it took only a blink of an eye for these mouse hairs to appear beside him.

"What a fat big mouse, he has a lot of tricks." It was too late to say it, and everything happened in the blink of an eye, and Zhao Shoushou even had time to sigh.

Ever since the appearance of the Golden Retriever, the monks who hadn't taken any measures on the surface have been secretly on high alert. When these third-order rat kings launched a series of attacks, Zhao Shoushou had also made complete preparations.

As the first magic weapon, the water control gun is also the magic weapon that has been cultivated for the longest time in the dantian and is the most handy magic weapon to control, so it is naturally duty-bound at this time.

However, its target is not these mouse hairs that seem to be astonishing and powerful, but in fact they are just bluffing and bluffing.

The opponents of these mouse hairs are naturally the ecstasy clocks that can be used both offensively and defensively. While resisting these pediatric offensive methods, when the bells are ringing, these sound attack methods will naturally not be forgotten.

The effect of the two-pronged approach is naturally beyond doubt. The Golden Retriever's original aggressiveness and recklessness disappeared without a trace in front of the two magic weapons.

Facing the tip of the water control gun that was close at hand, the golden-haired mouse did not retreat, but jumped forward. A pair of obvious and sharp front teeth did not dodge or dodge, and even bit the water control gun as if it were food.

After the two came into contact head-on, what Zhao Shoushou thought should exist turned into a stalemate, and only when the ecstasy bell rang, the golden-haired mouse would involuntarily turn its eyes back as if it had been hit hard. Counting steps, generally speaking, he has the upper hand.

Naturally, Zhao Shoushou's methods were more than that. When the two sides were at a stalemate, a Nine Cold Water Sword Art came out in response, successfully becoming the last straw that overwhelmed the camel's camel.

Of course, the victory in the battle would not come so smoothly. The Golden Retriever saw that things were not going well and was at a disadvantage, so he naturally chose to run away.

And it wasn't just running away. Before leaving, the golden-haired mouse showed a smile that was not a smile. Before it understood the meaning, an inexplicable shaking suddenly came from the depths of the ground, and dazzling golden lights were like pieces of gold. Like a blade, it tore and surrounded it.

Zhao Shoushou is not clear where these golden lights come from, but the energy contained in them is beyond doubt. The energy contained in each piece of golden light is between the third level and the second level. The problem, here is as many as a hundred or so.

"These golden-haired mice actually know how to ambush in advance. They really have become good." Facing the attack surrounded by surprise, Zhao Shoushou was not panicked.

Naturally, he won't continue to entangle here, but within three or five breaths, he has completely broken through the obstruction of the golden light. Unfortunately, the golden mouse's movements are faster, and it has already fled away, leaving only a wave that is almost nothing on the surface of the sea. Flashes, and soon disappears in the waves.

Zhao Shoushou only had time to kill some low-level water rats, and the task was basically completed. After this brood was forcefully expelled, the tranquility of the past will soon be restored here.

Knowing that with the character of the golden retriever, there will not be any valuable treasures left in this sea area, but he still can't bear the expectation in his heart. Unfortunately, all the results are already doomed, and he can only return empty-handed.

"These guys really deserve to have a character that devours everything, and they didn't even leave a piece of first-level spiritual material or elixir." After some things have been done to the extreme, it is actually admirable, and the water rats are undoubtedly the best among them By.

This sea area was originally the habitat of some second-order spirit beasts, and some spirit veins, spirit materials, and medicines existed. Now it has almost become a blank land. It is possible to return to its former glory.

He didn't have too much time to waste here today. According to the agreement, Peng Haiwang will come to pay an official visit in five or six days, and he still needs to prepare some good quality spiritual fruits.

Although some seedlings have begun to be transplanted in the elixir garden of Expedition Spirit Island, it takes enough time to grow. Now it is too far away to quench my thirst. facade.

Stars change, day and night alternate, and time flies. On this day, a large doorway was opened on the well-protected island guard formation of the expedition to Lingdao. The monks headed by Zhao Shoushou stood here in advance to greet them, waiting for the first visitor. coming.

There are three reasons why he held such a grand ceremony: first, to send a signal to the outside world; horse bone.

Chapter 569 The Expedition of Deep Roots

In the future, whether Zhao Shoushou wants to realize the exploration with friends in groups of three or four, or start a new sect on a brand new spiritual island, these forms must exist.

With the spread of reputation, there will be more monks of the same level who will come here to exchange and discuss the Tao in the future, and as a landlord, he can naturally get some benefits from it.

Peng Haiwang, who was from an expedition team, certainly did not come here just for the so-called discussion. These superficial skills can also win his trust from another aspect.

"But fellow Daoist Peng, who is famous and powerful overseas, came here? Such power is indeed worthy of being the majestic King Peng Hai." Around noon, accompanied by waves of various shapes, a cultivator sitting cross-legged on the back of a third-rank low-grade turtle appeared on Lingdao. In the distance, after confirming his identity, Zhao Shoushou went forward decisively.

"Zhao Daoyou is the real rising star. I have heard of your name in many places in recent years. Lao Peng is also from the expedition team. Why hold such a grand welcome ceremony?" satisfied expression.

On the surface, casual cultivators are characterized by freedom, but in essence they are just lonely. They are generally at a disadvantage in front of monks of the same level. At this time, they are suddenly subjected to such a grand welcome ceremony. How can they not be excited?What's more, this is a very important node in his past practice career.

"How can Zhao be compared with Fellow Daoist Peng? Please come to Lingdao for a while." Zhao Shoushou welcomed him warmly, expressing his sincerity.

Peng Haiwang has traveled almost all over the Spirit Island, and he is obviously very satisfied that it can be reborn from the ashes after suffering from the tide of sea beasts.

"Everything on Lingdao is just getting back on track. Of course, it cannot be compared with the grand scene of the past. If you have time in the future, fellow Taoists, you might as well come here often." Zhao Shoushou's invitation was very sincere.

As for the so-called dove occupying the magpie's nest, he didn't care about it. On the one hand, the two were equal in strength.

This outstanding cultivator among casual cultivators has been exploring Spirit Island for about a month to rest. During this period, he did not do anything except for some simple discussions. It seems that he really came to discuss the Tao. Enough patience, except for some normal daily practice, almost accompany you throughout the whole process.

Of course, there are also some valuable gains in the discussion of the Tao. Although it is impossible for the two monks to exchange some of their own bottom-line skills, some experience is indispensable. There is no small reference for each step of the road of practice.

Even in some places that were not clear at first, in similar exchanges, the window paper may be opened at the first time, so that the cultivation base will have a significant improvement.

In addition, for Peng Haiwang, a Jindan cultivator staying here, he is also happy to see the results. After all, it can be regarded as improving the strength of Expedition Spirit Island from another aspect, and has a stronger deterrent to the surrounding sea beasts.

"Thank you fellow daoist Zhao for your warm hospitality these days. In addition to discussing the Tao, I also have a piece of wealth that I would like to share with fellow daoists." It was not until the end of the second month that Peng Haiwang finally revealed the real purpose of this trip.

"Please don't hesitate to enlighten me, fellow Taoist." A gleam flashed in Zhao Shoushou's eyes. All the efforts in the past have been rewarded. Since he can be valued so much by a Golden Core cultivator, its value is naturally beyond doubt.

Later, under Peng Haiwang's explanation, he realized that he had accidentally discovered a cave of monks of the same level. It was confirmed that it was not an ancient cave. The third-tier middle-grade complex formation is what really makes him scratch his head and is difficult to save.

It was also the main reason for coming to explore Spirit Island this time. After nearly two months of exchange and investigation, Zhao Shoushou obviously complied with his request, otherwise he would definitely not have revealed the existence of the cave.

According to Peng Haiwang's speculation, the owner of the cave is likely to be a monk in the middle stage of the golden core. Since it is the place where the monk sits, there is naturally a valuable relic, such as some elixir cultivated in the elixir garden. Elixir, magic weapon, talisman, panacea, etc.

The owner of the cave is a mid-stage Golden Core, even if some traps are set up, the two monks at the early stage of Golden Core can easily deal with it together, which is why Peng Haiwang came here.

"This cave was found by Lao Peng based on some clues, and preparations have been made for breaking the formation. According to the rules, how about choosing one first among all the treasures?" Peng Haiwang's purpose is exactly the same. It's for treasure hunting, so I don't want to let myself suffer at this time.

The so-called right of priority naturally represents the right to own the treasure with the highest value. In a cave that has not yet been born, the treasure with the highest value should undoubtedly be a magic weapon. This alone can account for half of the value of all the treasures in the cave. above.

This can be regarded as a generally recognized rule in the cultivation world. As the discoverer of the cave, he naturally needs to occupy the majority of the interests. Although he is a bit unwilling, he can only accept it.

"Naturally, Mr. Zhao just put in some effort, as long as he can get some of the treasures, that's enough," Zhao Shoushou quickly agreed.

Half a month later, in an unremarkable sea area, the figures of two Jindan early-stage monks appeared here, and they dived decisively to a seabed depression at a depth of [-] meters. The cave is located.

Zhao Shoushou and Peng Haiwang's mission on this trip is to tear apart the protected Tier [-] mid-tier formation into a hole and sneak into it, which is not too difficult.

"These four formation flags can temporarily cut off the operation of the formation and open a temporary hole. Daoists only need to do their best to prevent the formation from backlash." After Peng Haiwang instructed, the two stood at two completely opposite sides. above the position.

Under the full exertion of the two Jindan early-stage monks, a gate of phantom appeared on the formation in just a quarter of an hour.

This tricky way of stealing the formation does not have much destructive effect on the formation itself, but it provides a great convenience for monks to enter and exit.

Of course, it is not so easy to use it, otherwise why would Peng Haiwang find a monk to share his treasures?

The layout of the cave is quite simple and clear. There is a small elixir garden at the entrance. Judging from the abundant spiritual power in the cave, it should be located on a hidden third-order spiritual vein.

In addition to this, there is only a living room with a large area and a closed practice room, which should be a place for monks to sit and melt.

The most eye-catching thing is a pool located in the center, where there are golden carps jumping up and down continuously, and there are obvious golden lines on the scales of these carps.

"Third-rank low-grade snake-pattern koi, this is an excellent treasure for quickly replenishing qi and blood. Today is really a good opportunity." Peng Haiwang's eyes are very poisonous, and he directly recognizes its details.

Chapter 570

Of course, Zhao Shoushou had heard of the reputation of snake-patterned koi, especially for its miraculous effect on blood essence damage, and was especially loved and respected by some monks who practiced the way of blood.

The way of blood is a special way of cultivation, through refining the blood of some special types of sea beasts to strengthen one's own blood, so as to achieve the effect of feeding back the body and cultivation.

In addition, blood cultivators are famous for their strange methods, and the various methods they use in battle naturally use blood essence as the medium, so the snake-print koi is definitely a great supplement for them.

Of course, this is only a relatively small group of practitioners in the cultivation world, but since they choose to raise these little guys, the owner of the cave should be a person in this way.

No matter from which point of view, the appearance of this valuable sea beast is a good thing for Zhao Shoushou, and it can make up for the loss of not being able to select core treasures to a certain extent.

"The magic weapon refined by the monks of the blood path is mainly various kinds of awls and blood diamonds. You only need to refine it to add a killer weapon." When he said this, Zhao Shoushou was quite envious of.

The Blood Dao magic weapon, like the Blood Dao cultivator, takes the side route. It only needs to be sacrificed with enough blood, and it can display a lot of strength. Although it cannot be used frequently, it is also a good choice to break the game in the face of danger. .

"Let's be happy together, since the snake-patterned koi are staying here, I think this fellow Taoist is just like you and me, a lonely family, and he should have some good harvest today." Peng Haiwang's words meant something else.

"Although the cave is secret, there is no guarantee that the news will not be leaked. We should collect the treasures quickly and distribute them quickly. What do you think?" in mind.

Peng Haiwang's approval of "it makes sense" meant that the two had successfully reached an agreement, and the first target was naturally the monk's practice room.

In the not-so-large training room, a white jade bed exuding cold air occupies more than half of the area, and a monk in green clothes sits on it vividly, as if he is entering a state of deep cultivation.

If you don't have an understanding of this, you will definitely be shocked, thinking that you have provoked a Jindan comrade who is at a critical juncture in cultivation.

"Zhao Shoushou and Peng Haiwang have seen seniors, and today they came to disturb seniors' meditation place, just to find some treasures for cultivation, please forgive me for disturbing you." The two looked deeply at the corpse on the cold jade bed. bow.

These seemingly useless etiquettes are summed up with the blood and tears of countless monks. Maybe they can avoid the triggering of some traps, maybe they can get some unexpected benefits, or they may be useless, but they are still tenaciously passed down. It has become the rule followed by most monks.

On the cold jade bed, on the left hand side of the monk, a palm-sized storage bag and a pocket-sized blood diamond the size of a thumb are neatly placed.

Obviously, the monk had already expected the opening of the cave before sitting down, and the purpose of doing so may be to avoid disturbing the corpse.

Half an hour later, all the treasures were collected. An hour later, the two monks finished dividing up the loot and parted ways. Two days later, Zhao Shoushou's figure reappeared near the Expedition Island.

Judging from his expression, he was obviously satisfied with the harvest of this trip. Although the magic weapon fell into the hands of Peng Haiwang, the other treasures were distributed equally.

From spirit pills, treasure charms, spirit herbs, spirit materials to snake-patterned koi, the value of the loot obtained is at least 500 yuan of high-grade spirit stones, which is also a big supplement to its dry storage bag.

The most important point is that during this operation, apart from opening the formation by stealing the formation, he did not encounter too many dangers. He obtained such a rich treasure almost for nothing. How could Zhao Shoushou be dissatisfied?

When the two were close to parting, they agreed that if there was a suitable opportunity to continue to cooperate in the future, presumably with this foundation, future actions would definitely not be reduced.

These treasures are enough to maintain a year of cultivation, so after returning to Lingdao, apart from some complicated affairs or visits from Jindan monks, he re-entered the practice life of in-depth and simple.

Through the lessons learned from the previous Thunderbird battle, he decided to practice on the spiritual island for a long enough time. This is also a necessary path for a Golden Core cultivator to grow up.

The stars move, the sun and the moon alternate, time rotates, time flies, time flies, and eighty years of time have passed away inadvertently in the blink of an eye.

Eighty years of time already represents a lifetime from birth to death for ordinary people, and more than half of the members of the expedition team on the expedition spirit island have been replaced.

Either they fell into different expeditions, or they left on their own after losing hope of being promoted to Jindan, or they died after their lifespan was exhausted.

But for Jindan cultivators like Zhao Shoushou, eighty years is just a small part of a long cultivation career.

He spent most of these years stationed on the Expedition Spirit Island. With his full support, the reputation of the expedition team spread again in the overseas cultivation world.

Zhao Shoushou, as the owner of the island, besides retreating and practicing, the main energy is to communicate with monks of the same level, or hold small-scale seminars in small groups, or go to some dangerous places to explore, or participate in some large and small events. Auctions, in short, every day is very busy.

The harvest of each expedition is naturally different, and generally speaking, there are still more than enough monks to maintain normal.

Of course, apart from the above-mentioned activities in the cultivation world in the open sea, fighting with sea beasts is an eternal melody. Even if you never take the initiative to provoke them, it is difficult to avoid the active invasion of some third-order sea beasts. I have hunted and killed four third-order sea beasts of different types. , and those who were expelled were several times more.

Zhao Shoushou's cultivation will naturally not stagnate with sufficient time, the supply of spirit pills, and the power of spirit veins. He broke through the bottleneck and was promoted to the third level of Jindan when he was stationed on Lingdao for 60 years. Afterwards, the golden core released bursts of light again.

The most important thing for him now is to seek promotion to the middle stage of Golden Core, which is quite an obvious watershed for Golden Core monks.

Nearly half of the Golden Core cultivators are stuck here and cannot improve their cultivation. Now Zhao Shoushou also needs to face the same problem and difficulty.

In addition to the improvement of his cultivation base, through these years of hard work, he has also gained fame, successfully gained the recognition of many Jindan comrades, and became a rising star.

"Staying on the spirit island is indeed leisurely, but it will not help the current bottleneck. Maybe only in the bloody fighting can we break out a path that belongs to someone," Zhao Shoushou murmured in a low voice.

Chapter 571

Different stages require different coping methods. For Zhao Shoushou, as a newly promoted Jindan second-tier monk, what he needed before was to be calm, and he needed to devote enough time and energy to overcome his own defects in the background. To make up for it, that's why Fang spent 80 years stationed on the Expedition Island.

Facts have proved that this is an effective measure. In addition to improving cultivation and strength, it also makes up for the shortcomings in the background.

The situation we are now facing is just the opposite. What is needed here is a good opportunity in the face of a strong and solid bottleneck that is difficult to break through for a while.

For monks, chances never fall on a monk's head. They need to realize it through wandering and fighting, so now they need to enter the depths of the sea again to fight and search for all kinds of sea beasts.

From the early stage of Golden Core to the middle stage of Golden Core, it is an obvious watershed in terms of strength alone. Once it is successfully crossed, it not only means the improvement of strength, but also means that it is a step closer to Yuanying Dao. will let go.

No matter how difficult the bottleneck in front of you is, even if you need to hit a head and break your blood, you must work hard to move forward, and it is absolutely impossible to take half a step back easily.

Of course, before officially leaving Lingdao, Zhao Shoushou also needs to explain and sort out. Now he is not the casual cultivator who knew nothing about the open sea, and needs to be searched all over the world.

Over the years, through exchanges with some monks of the same level and inquiries from members of the expedition team, a lot of opportunities that may exist in different sea areas have been accumulated.

Even if a large part of the descriptions are true and false, it is better than looking around in the vast ocean like a blind man.

The dangers in these places are unquestionable, and it is not easy even for Golden Core cultivators to deal with them, and this trip also requires sufficient caution.

If once he finds that he is invincible, Zhao Shoushou would rather choose to call on his friends to fight together like other monks. Even if it is to share some of the treasures, it is better than getting nothing. This experience has been realized over the years.

Before the official start of the operation, it is natural to ask for a few instructions on the expedition to Spirit Island, and the development here has been quite good in recent years.

The treasury, which was originally consumed by the tide of sea beasts and the subsequent construction of the island protection array, has gradually filled up over the years.

The spirit field with a large area and the low-level elixir garden with a short growth period have begun to produce steadily. In addition to meeting the needs of a few resident monks, they can be exchanged for stable spirit stones every year.

In addition, according to the regulations of Expedition Spirit Island, the treasures obtained by the expedition team must also be handed over a certain percentage of them, and the accumulation over the years is also a considerable income.

The only regret is that there are not many Tier [-] treasures suitable for the Golden Core stage, and the chances for Zhao Shoushou to use them to enrich himself are quite rare.

"I'm waiting to pay my respects to the ancestor, what is the order of the ancestor?" About a quarter of an hour later, three monks in the late stage of foundation establishment appeared in the cave and respectfully paid their respects.

Over the years, Zhao Shoushou has made several shots, killing and repelling powerful enemies, gradually building up enough prestige in the hearts of these monks.
