Chapter 78 Invitation
"Um?"
Xu Yang cast his gaze and looked at the woman: "What else can you do?"
Although he also has the tenth level of Qi training, Yun Yan was frightened when he glanced at him and said hurriedly: "Senior, please don't misunderstand, there are just some things that Bailong Island wants to discuss with senior."
After that, he pushed out another storage bag.
Xu Yang looked at her for a while, then picked up the storage bag and checked it, and found that it was full of spiritual stones.
Yun Yan smiled and said: "These three thousand spirit stones are the bounty of the three tribulation cultivators. Seniors acted righteously to eliminate demons and protect the way, and to eliminate a harm to our White Dragon Island. Please accept it for your kindness!"
"That would be disrespectful."
After hearing this, Xu Yang accepted the three thousand spirit stones without saying much.
Seeing this, Yun Yan smiled even more: "There is one more thing that must be informed to seniors."
After that, he clapped his hands.
"Come in!"
As he spoke, the door opened, and two White Dragon Island disciples walked in, holding down a pale-faced young man.
Xu Yang glanced at it, his expression remained unchanged, and he directly turned his gaze back.
Yun Yan chuckled and said, "This person is a minion of Jie Xiu. Yesterday, he led the way for seniors. He has evil intentions. I, Bailong Island, have destroyed his hideout. It is up to seniors to decide how to deal with the remaining person."
The young man's face was pale, and he turned his gaze to Xu Yang with difficulty: "Senior, I am also forced to have no choice but to ask you, senior, to spare my life..."
"Your affairs have nothing to do with me."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted. Xu Yang looked cold and didn't even look at him. He just said to Yun Yan: "If you have anything to say, let's get straight to the point."
"Senior is really resolute."
Yun Yan smiled, waved her hand for the two of them to take the young man away, and then showed a weak and overwhelmed look: "Senior, although I am new here, I must have heard a lot of rumors from outside, right?"
Xu Yang was indifferent and did not respond.
Yun Yan didn't care and continued: "Although most of the rumors in the market are rumors, they are not groundless and have no reason. In recent years, our Bailong Island has indeed been unable to suppress the situation. If not, these robbery cultivators would not be so arrogant. , even my disciples from Bailong Island dare to assassinate him."
Xu Yang's expression remained unchanged and he thought to himself.
As mentioned before, although Jie Xiu made huge profits, he was stealing food from major forces, so he was in a very bad situation. Everyone shouted for beatings and killings, so he could only hide his head and tail like a mouse.
If this is the case, then why are the three evil spirits of Bailong so arrogant, openly plundering outside Bailong Island in broad daylight? Does Bailong Island not care about it?
It really doesn’t matter!
More than ten years ago, there were rumors that the ancestor of Bailong Island, the great monk in the late stage of foundation building, was about to die at the end of his life and was unable to take action to suppress the situation.
Although there is still a young island owner in the early stage of foundation building on Bailong Island, the early stage of foundation building and the late stage of foundation building are two different concepts. He can only guard Bailong Island, but is beyond his reach to things outside the island.
He didn't even dare to leave the White Dragon Island formation, because there were many enemies on White Dragon Island. In the past, they were intimidated by the old island owner's cultivation in the later stages of foundation building, and no one dared to do anything. But now that the old island owner is approaching his longevity, only the remaining The next junior who is in the early stage of foundation building will definitely be intercepted and killed by a powerful enemy once he leaves the island.
Therefore, Bailong Island became increasingly unable to suppress the situation, and the various robber cultivators became more and more bold and unbridled. They not only robbed and killed monks outside the island, but even attacked the disciples of Bailong Island who went out.
The Three Fierce White Dragons are an example.
If this situation continues, it may not be long before Bailongdaofang City loses its passenger flow and is eventually forced to close.
This is also the result that the enemies and competitors on Bailong Island want.
This is the norm in the world of cultivation.
A powerful monk can lead a family, and an extremely powerful one can also make it weaken or even die.
After all, monks have a limited lifespan and cannot live forever.
Speaking of longevity, Xu Yang also discovered one thing, that is, the longevity of cultivators was unexpectedly short.
That’s right, short!
After Xu Yang investigated, he discovered that the cultivators in this world are all short-lived ghosts.
How to shorten your life?
Even if the realm of Qi training is perfect, his lifespan will only be two hundred.
If you reach the foundation-building realm and reach the peak, you will only gain three hundred life spans.
In the golden elixir realm, an ancestor has a lifespan of only five hundred.
Only Yuanying, a person with great supernatural powers, can live for thousands of years.
Isn't this short-lived?
You must know that in the Tang Dynasty world, Xu Yang further transformed and improved the martial arts after integrating the Immortality Technique, Tianmo Ce, Cihang Sword Code and other top martial arts. Its life-extending ability has exceeded the cultivation skills of this world.
A master warrior who is at the extreme state of concentration, his cultivation level is only comparable to that of a practitioner who has perfected his Qi practice, but he has a lifespan of three hundred years, which is comparable to that of a foundation-building monk.
Not to mention the elixir-holding warriors who have entered the realm of Hedao. Their cultivation level corresponds to that of a foundation-building monk, but their lifespan is five hundred years, comparable to the ancestors of the golden elixir.
Why do those who cultivate immortality still outlive those who practice martial arts?
Is it because the method of cultivation is not as good as the method of martial arts?
No, the quality of a monk's physical soul or inner energy is higher than that of a warrior.
Xu Yang guessed that the reason why practitioners in this world are so short-lived is not a problem of cultivation, but a problem of the world.
There is something wrong with this world!
Not only cultivation techniques, but also martial arts. Practicing martial arts in this world cannot increase your life span as much as in the Tang Dynasty world.
Why?
Xu Yang couldn't say for sure. It might be because of the world level. The world level is too high, so the restrictions on life span are stronger. There is even a "heavenly way" consciousness to suppress these cultivators?
Maybe. At present, the strength is too weak and the level is too low. Xu Yang dare not make a conclusion.
In short, the life span of cultivators in this world is so short.
But Xu Yang is an exception.
Although the martial arts classics are also suppressed by the world, and the ability to prolong life is far inferior to that of the Tang Dynasty world, this does not have much impact on Xu Yang. Now he is in the state of concentration, comparable to the cultivation of Qi Perfection, and has 350 years, surpassing the life span of the foundation-building cultivators.
Why?
Because the main reason for his longevity is not only the martial arts classics, but also - skill characteristics!
Prolonging life, longevity, and the ancestor of the martial arts classics, these skill characteristics either directly increase life span, or improve the effect of the martial arts classics, and indirectly increase life span.
The martial arts classics are suppressed by the world, but the skill characteristics are not suppressed by the world. All the abilities and effects brought to Xu Yang by this "plug-in" are not suppressed by the world, but can break through the normal rules of the world.
For example, planting skills. Generally speaking, under normal circumstances, ordinary plants generated in the mortal world can never become spiritual plants, but Xu Yang can use ordinary rice in the mortal world, relying on the optimization of planting skills, to grow spiritual rice.
There is also cultivation. Because of the problem of spiritual roots, the efficiency of martial arts cultivation is far inferior to that of cultivation techniques, but relying on various skill characteristics, the efficiency of Xu Yang's martial arts cultivation can be comparable to or even surpass cultivation techniques.
It not only makes up for the gap in techniques, but also makes up for the gap in "spiritual roots".
It can be seen that these skill characteristics are powerful, and the attribute panel is terrifying.
The status of this "plug-in" may be much higher than he imagined.
What exactly is the attribute panel, what secrets are hidden, will there be any conspiracy, what danger?
Xu Yang once had such doubts, or he has always had such doubts.
But doubts are doubts, he does not go into extremes, let alone get crazy, resist the attribute panel, and discard the skill characteristics.
This is the foundation of his life. No matter what is involved behind it, what secrets, what conspiracies, and what black hands are planned, he must rely on this power at present.
Abandoning it is the most foolish approach.
The correct choice is to use its power, but not rely entirely on its power.
Just like the martial arts classics, it is achieved by the attribute panel and skill characteristics, but it is also Xu Yang's own hard work. Even if it loses its skill characteristics, it is still a martial arts classic, and it will not disappear and lose all its effects.
I have gone too far, let's get back to the topic.
The owner of Bailong Island, your life is coming to an end!
Bailong Island cannot suppress the situation. If you don't want the market to be closed, you can only strengthen your strength.
There are many ways to strengthen your strength, but the most direct and fastest way is to introduce foreign aid.
"Let's not beat around the bush!"
Yun Yan smiled and said straight to the point: "I just want to ask, are you a casual cultivator, or have you settled in a sect?"
Xu Yang's expression remained unchanged, and he replied in a cold voice: "What if you are a casual cultivator, and what if you have settled in a sect?"
"If you have settled in a sect, then we naturally dare not disturb you."
Yun Yan shook her head and said her purpose: "But if you are a casual cultivator, then Yun Yan, on behalf of Bailong Island, sincerely invites you to join. Bailong Island is willing to grant you the position of elder, and you can practice in the spirit vein cave, and there are various offerings every year. If you make military achievements, the treasures in the treasury can be exchanged at will."
Hearing this, Xu Yang said directly: "Thank you for your kindness, but I am used to being a free and unrestrained person, and I really don't want to be constrained. Goodbye!"
After that, regardless of Yun Yan's reaction, he bowed and walked out the door.
"Senior..."
Yun Yan wanted to keep him, but seeing that he was so determined, she stopped again, and a bitter smile appeared on her face.
She really wanted to win this person over and join Bailong Island.
After all, this is a thunder cultivator, a thunder cultivator who has reached the great perfection of Qi training.
In terms of combat power, he is not weaker than a foundation-building cultivator, and even better than some foundation-building cultivators who are not good at fighting.
If this person joins and becomes the law enforcement elder of Bailong Island, leading the team to clean up the surrounding robbery cultivators, the Bailong Island market will be able to continue operating.
Unfortunately, this person is resolute and unmoved.
However, it is understandable that the current situation of Bailong Island is not just a problem of robbery cultivators, but also squeezed by many enemies and competitors, which has involved disputes between foundation-building forces.
Without grudges and no profit drive, the foundation-building cultivator will naturally not take the risk of attacking a thunder cultivator who has reached the great perfection of Qi training.
But if it involves a cultivation market, the huge benefits are enough to make the foundation-building cultivator take risks.
This person sees it clearly, otherwise he will be in this dangerous situation.
In this regard, she can't do anything, she can't force it.
"Forget it. At worst, I can just lie dormant for a while. When the island master's cultivation level improves, I can then fight back against those families. As time goes by, who can stay forever?"
