Chapter 135 Eight Immortal Islands
"Gaa--Gaa--"
A seabird of unknown species flew by with a caaa-caa. On the blue sea, a giant ship as long as 30 meters cut through the waves and sailed towards a huge island under the influence of wind and magic array.
Seeing that the ship was about to dock, a sailor who was equivalent to the early stage of Qi Refining immediately reported to the ship owner, a wealthy man who was equivalent to the late stage of Qi Refining.
The ship owner's surname was Li. After hearing the report from his subordinates, he immediately opened his eyes and stopped meditating, and then respectfully walked into a room with the best facilities in the ship. As soon as he walked to the door, a conversation between a man and a woman came from the room.
"Be gentle! You are too strong!"
"Sorry, I am not used to my strength yet."
The owner Li stopped, not because he was scared by the ambiguous conversation, but because he could not understand the language at all. He just felt that it would be bad to disturb the distinguished guests in the room at this time.
At this time, the man and woman in the house also noticed Captain Li outside the house. After a rustling, the door of the house was opened by an invisible hand.
There was no daytime lewdness in the house.
What happened was a tall man holding a little girl who was only five feet tall on his back with a ribbon.
When she saw Captain Li coming in, the little girl immediately stopped talking and just lay on the man's back with her hands around his neck.
After pulling the ribbon and making sure that Dongli Qingtong was fixed, Zhang Wei asked in a language completely different from the Five Realms: "What's the matter?"
Captain Li immediately bowed respectfully: "My two immortal masters, Danxian Island is coming!"
Zhang Wei nodded lightly and said: "Oh, I know."
But Captain Li did not leave immediately, but nervously took out a brocade box, held it up with both hands respectfully, and said: "Immortal Master... This is some of my thoughts, although it's not much, please accept it."
Zhang Wei did not refuse, stretched out his hand to take the brocade box, and waved to let Captain Li leave.
Dong Li Qingtong took the brocade box and opened it, then took out fifty taels of gold and some spiritual medicines, and then muttered: "It's really not much."
Zhang Wei rolled his eyes and said: "After all, Captain Li is just a small merchant who travels back and forth in the surrounding seas. It's already very good to be able to take out so much money."
It has been half a year since he and Dong Li Qingtong came here. It took three months to recuperate. After Zhang Wei stabilized his body to the third-level upper grade, he took Dong Li Qingtong, who was physically inconvenient, out to explore the traces of civilization.
It took half a month to finally find a human merchant ship, which was Captain Li's ship.
It's just a pity that the language difference between the two sides is too large, so Zhang Wei had to show his divine consciousness and communicate with the captain surnamed Li through divine consciousness, and took advantage of his boat in the name of protection.
At the same time, he learned the language of this sea area through Captain Li's way, and learned some things about the division of forces in this sea area, so as not to be frustrated everywhere after landing on the island in the future.
After understanding, Zhang Wei and Dongli Qingtong knew that they were now in the Seven Star Sea, which was a power alliance composed of seven large islands with Yuanying sitting in the center.
Its comprehensive strength is much higher than the Five Regions.
However, according to Dongli, the Seven Star Sea was all wild and could not be compared with their five major sects.
And now, they were in a sea area called the Eight Immortal Islands on the edge of the Seven Star Sea.
The so-called Eight Immortal Islands looked big, but in fact, it was a regional alliance composed of eight Jindan Zhenren who were good at their own fields.
With these eight immortal islands as the center, each radiated hundreds of islands of different levels, so it was called the Eight Immortal Islands Sea.
And this Danxian Island was one of the Eight Immortal Islands that Zhang Wei and Dongli Qingtong decided to go to after investigating for four weeks. It was an island that was good at refining pills.
They wanted to see if they could find pills here to treat the Yin Qi and Huangquan Yinfeng in Dongli Qingtong's body.
After sailing for two and a half months, traveling thousands of miles on the sea, and helping Captain Li solve several troubles with sea monsters, Zhang Wei and Dong Li Qingtong finally arrived at the so-called Danxian Island!
After the ship docked, Zhang Wei directly carried Dong Li Qingtong off the ship, and dozens of crew members including Captain Li bowed respectfully behind him, and stood up only after Zhang Wei disappeared on the dock.
One of the assistants couldn't help asking: "Captain, who is this senior? You gave him one-third of our income from this voyage."
"Who is he?"
Captain Li glanced at the assistant, snorted coldly and said: "Anyway, it's a height that you and I can't reach in our lifetime! The fact that our ship can carry people on this journey is a blessing for it to have cultivated for eight lifetimes!"
I used fifty taels of gold and some spiritual medicines to ask a purple mansion master to protect the voyage for two and a half months. I made a lot of money, okay!
Zhang Wei and the others didn't know what Captain Li was thinking. At this time, they were feeling the charm of the Danxian City dock.
As one of the main islands of the Eight Immortals Islands, Danxian Island, which has a third-level spiritual vein, has a very rich spiritual energy. The dock area alone is ten times that of the outside world.
And as one of the commercial hubs, there are a lot of cultivators in Danxian Island. As far as you can see, all of them have more or less cultivation.
Unlike the five domains where turbid air is rampant, the spiritual energy in many places outside the five domains has not been polluted, or the pollution is not serious, so many ordinary people also have the opportunity to cultivate immortals.
Even if the concentration of spiritual energy here is relatively low, if you have good talent, you can still hope to strive for the late stage of Qi Refining for a lifetime.
Therefore, the late stage of Qi Refining, which can be regarded as a small master in the Five Domains of Free Cultivation, is estimated to be more than the wild dogs in Danxian City in the Seven Star Sea!
Of course, there are still few foundation-building cultivators.
After all, spiritual essence is still a rare thing even in the outside world.
Zhang Wei used his divine sense to scan the entire dock and found a foundation-building cultivator.
But even so, the population of the entire Danxian City has reached 500,000, which is comparable to half of Linglong Island. Even if most of them are in the Qi Refining stage, the remaining number of foundation-building cultivators is at least hundreds.
Zifu should still be equally rare, but it is prudent to estimate that there are ten.
In addition to the Danxian Island owner who is in the middle stage of the Golden Core, Zhang Wei thinks it is better to keep a low profile.
However, looking at the long flow of people entering the city, Zhang Wei thought: "If I only show my late Qi Refining cultivation, I may be harassed, and it will not be conducive to buying pills next time. It is better to improve it and show the strength of the Foundation Establishment period."
So Zhang Wei took Dong Li Qingtong to turn left and right in the crowd. After a while, the two of them changed their appearance and came to the VIP channel for the Foundation Establishment masters.
Unlike the fierce and evil staff in other channels, the staff in the VIP channel are particularly easy to talk to.
"What is your name, senior? What are you doing in our Danxian Island?"
Huang Jin said flatteringly.
Zhang Wei said: "My name is Zhang Xiaofan, and this is my sister Zhang Tong. I came to your island to seek medicine to treat my sister's serious illness."
Huang Jin glanced at Dong Li Qingtong on Zhang Wei's back, and Dong Li Qingtong immediately shrank his head behind Zhang Wei.
Looking at the ribbons used to fix Zhang Wei, Huang Jin believed Zhang Wei's words 90% in his heart.
Huang Jin sighed: "Poor girl, she is so young, but... Alas..."
As he said that, Huang Jin took out two jade cards and handed them to Zhang Wei, saying: "Since the seniors are going to the island to seek medicine to treat their paralyzed sister, then I will waive the entrance fee for the two seniors."
Dong Liqingtong lowered his head, and the corners of his eyes could not help twitching.
Alas... physical inconvenience is troublesome.
Zhang Wei took the jade card, thanked Huang Jin, and turned to walk into the city.
However, the next moment Zhang Wei left, the gentle smile on Huang Jin's face disappeared without a trace, turned around and took out a communication talisman from Danxian Island and said a few words.
"Master Gu, a big fish in the early stage of foundation building has entered the island, and it is carrying a sickly child!"
The first feeling Zhang Wei had after entering Danxian City was the bustle.
But it was different from the orderly bustle of Linglongfang, Yulongfang and Xiangcaofang in the Five Realms, but a chaotic bustle!
Although there were law enforcers patrolling, it was obviously not as peaceful as the Five Realms Market. After releasing his mind, Zhang Wei could clearly see that someone was doing some black transactions in the alley.
Even on another street, Zhang Wei saw the brothel street in the cultivation world.
Hundreds of male and female cultivators were immersed in it.
Do you think that the prostitutes and male prostitutes in the brothel street here are practicing the Hehuan Gongfa and using the essence of customers to practice?
Wrong!
They are the objects of the collection!
Just like the prostitutes and male prostitutes in the brothel street that Zhang Wei saw in Yunguo, the people here are no different. Even if they are also cultivators, they are still the objects of torture and exploitation.
"Hu..."
Zhang Wei took a long breath. After seeing this scene, he had a clear understanding of the definition of the Five Realms cultivation world as a paradise.
Compared with the outside world, the independent cultivators in the Five Realms are indeed living in a paradise.
At least the demon cultivators are strangled by the major sects, and the oppression of cultivators to open brothels and so on, which does not exist in the Five Realms.
"Hold me tight!"
Zhang Wei whispered.
"What's wrong?"
Dong Li Qingtong asked in confusion, but still hugged Zhang Wei's neck tightly.
Zhang Wei said seriously: "I'm afraid someone will take you away to make a cauldron!"
Dong Li Qingtong: "..."
Dong Li Qingtong showed his little tiger teeth behind Zhang Wei's neck, as if he was going to bite him.
Zhang Wei carried Dong Li Qingtong on his back and turned around in Danxian City, and then came to the largest place selling elixirs here.
Danxian Pavilion.
Obviously, this is the industry of the owner of Danxian Island.
Seeing Zhang Wei coming in, a shopkeeper in the middle stage of foundation building immediately came up to him and asked with a smile: "What do you want, fellow Taoist? Our store's elixirs are definitely the most complete on Danxian Island!"
Zhang Wei looked around and couldn't help frowning when he smelled the messy smell of elixirs in the store.
The elixirs here...
He knew they were not good just by smelling them!
There was no way, Zhang Wei's stomach had been spoiled by Chi Lian.
But in the current situation, Zhang Wei had no choice but to ask: "Do you have any elixirs to eliminate Yin Qi?"
"My sister was harmed by the Yin Qi of the Yellow Springs in the Biyuan Sea and needs some elixirs for treatment."
The shopkeeper's face changed when he heard this, and he glanced at Dong Li Qingtong on Zhang Wei's back, then pinched his beard and murmured: "Yellow Spring Yin Qi..."
Then he said in embarrassment: "Sir, we do have elixirs to eliminate Yin Qi, but this Yellow Spring Yin Qi is really special. I'm afraid that ordinary elixirs can only suppress it temporarily, but not completely eradicate it."
Then he cupped his hands and faced the Danxian Palace in the center of Danxian Island, saying respectfully: "If we want to completely cure your sister, I'm afraid we can only ask our island owner to take action himself."
Zhang Wei and Dongli Qingtong both frowned upon hearing this.
Looking for the island owner in the Golden Core Realm?
Dongli Qingtong's Xuan Yin Yue Hua body would have been exposed on the spot.
Zhang Wei could only say: "Whether it's suppressed or not, what kind of elixir is there?"
The shopkeeper chuckled, and then quickly returned to the counter. Zhen Erzhongzhi took out a jade box, opened it and said: "This is the treasure of our store, the third-level first-grade elixir, the elixir for eliminating filth and transforming yin! Specifically to restrain some evil things!”
"After my sister takes it, the yin energy and the underworld wind in her body will be suppressed for at least three years!"
Zhang Wei leaned down, spread some elixir fragrance into his nose with his hand, and then asked without changing his expression: "How much does this Huayin elixir cost?"
The shopkeeper smiled and held out three fingers.
"Not much, this bottle is worth thirty thousand taels of gold!"
Prices in the Five Realms are also different from those in the outside world.
Due to the turbid energy within the five realms, ordinary casual cultivators need to use spiritual stones if they want to practice. But to obtain spiritual stones, they have to buy them with real money and silver from the major cultivating families and sects that control spiritual veins. .
This has increased the prices of the two precious metals, gold and silver, in disguised form.
However, in the world outside the Five Realms, because the spiritual energy is still abundant, the demand for spiritual stones among low-level casual cultivators is not as high as in the Five Realms, so the purchasing power of gold and silver will be stronger.
On the islands, the scarcity of gold and silver veins has aggravated the situation.
Otherwise, if this bottle of third-level first-grade elixir were placed in the Five Domains of Immortal Cultivation World, you wouldn't be able to buy it without 70,000 to 80,000 taels of gold.
But Zhang Wei still shook his head and said: "It's too expensive, I can't afford it."
After saying that, he left directly with Dongli Qingtong on his back.
Even though the shopkeeper took the initiative to lower the price or recommended other elixirs, he did not stop and left the Danxian Pavilion directly.
Seeing that the business had failed, the shopkeeper also yelled angrily and said: "Bah, you poor man! Your sister deserves to die of illness!"
As he said that, he sealed the brocade box and pushed it back into the medicine cabinet as if he was angry. It didn't look as precious as before.
Outside, Dongli Qingtong lay on Zhang Wei's back and asked: "You don't have to pay, why don't you buy it?"
Zhang Wei just said coldly: "Fake."
Dongli Qingtong was startled.
"Eh?"
Zhang Wei snorted coldly: "Although I am not good at alchemy, I can tell the properties of most elixirs by just smelling them with my nose.
However, the so-called Xiaohu Huayin Pill does have a suppressive effect, but it is easily addictive. Once you become dependent, you are finished. "
Having said this, Zhang Wei missed Chi Lianlai again.
If it weren't for her decades of continuous training, Zhang Wei's understanding of alchemy would not have reached this level.
If she were here, there wouldn't be such trouble.
Hearing this, Dongli Qingtong sighed: "As expected of Dongzhou, it's so troublesome to find a reliable elixir to take, but this is the elixir pavilion. This elixir is too cheap."
Then asked: "Then what should we do?"
Zhang Wei thought for a while and said: "It seems that we can only use stupid methods."
"Stop taking these so-called elixirs. Instead, take some high-level yang spiritual medicines and use their internal medicinal power to slowly eliminate the yin energy in your body."
Dongli Qingtong was speechless and said: "Then this is indeed a stupid idea."
Then asked: "What are you going to do next?"
Zhang Wei thought for a while and said: "Find an uninhabited spiritual island or cave to practice for a period of time. After breaking through the middle stage of Zifu and gaining a certain level of self-preservation, then cross this vast sea and go to Xuanxing Island to have a look. The Nascent Soul Lord is there, and the environment and market should be much better than this Alchemy Island, and there should be elixirs to treat you. "
Although the Seven Star Sea Area is nominally controlled by the human race, there are also some sea monsters in the sea who occupy some of the seabed spiritual veins. Although most of the sea monsters are not very powerful, there are also big monsters from the Purple Mansion who have taken over one side.
Therefore, if you want to safely cross the Seven Star Sea and go to Xuanxing Island where Nascent Soul Master is stationed, you must at least have the strength of the fake elixir realm.
As for the Alchemy Island, although it is a scam, it is the largest elixir distribution center in the Eight Immortals Islands. It is the best choice for him to refine elixirs and buy elixirs for practice.
Dongli Qingtong was silent for a moment, and then said, "Sorry to trouble you."
Zhang Wei smiled and said: "It's okay. In this unfamiliar Qixing Sea, the two of us know each other's ins and outs and can help each other."
Dongli Qingtong said in a deep voice: "But I'm just a waste now."
"Don't say that, how can you be a waste? After all, you are also a quasi-fourth-level array mage. If nothing else, this knowledge alone can help me solve a lot of troubles."
Zhang Wei said: "Besides, I like to make friends. Sitting around and practicing hard all my life is not suitable for me. If there is no one to chat with to relieve my boredom, I will be bored to death. I don't feel comfortable looking for outsiders who are unfamiliar with the place. , just provide me with emotional value."
Dongli paused when he heard this, then chuckled and said, "Thank you..."
…
Soon, Zhang Wei took Dongli Qingtong to the Dongfu leasing office on Danxian Island and put forward his request.
The person in charge of Danxian Island who is responsible for leasing the cave is an old monk who is in the late stage of foundation building. He should be over two hundred years old, but he has just broken through the late stage of foundation building. He will not be able to break through the purple mansion in his lifetime.
Seeing Zhang Wei, a junior who was in the early stages of foundation building, come to rent the cave, he took advantage of his senior's pretensions.
He picked up a cup of tea and said leisurely: "Are you two the only ones who want to live in this Danxian Sea forever?"
Zhang Wei: "Exactly!"
The old man said with some embarrassment: "It's an unlucky time for you to come. All the good spiritual sites nearby have been selected."
Dongli Qingtong whispered in Zhang Wei's ear, and Zhang Wei suddenly understood, then took out a brocade box and handed it over, saying: "I hope the old man will take more trouble."
The old man opened the brocade box and took a look. He smiled when he saw the little yellow cutie inside. Then he waved his hand and covered the brocade box with his robe. The brocade box immediately disappeared on the table, and then he patted his forehead and said : "I just remembered, there happen to be a few first-level spiritual veins that have become vacant recently, just for you, who are in the early stages of foundation building, to practice!"
With that said, he took out a map that was different from the sea area of Danxian Island on the surface and unfolded it in front of Zhang Wei: "There are still thirteen free first-order spiritual veins near my Danxian Island. You can choose it yourself." Take your pick, I suggest you choose one close to the inland sea, so that when the sea monster tide comes, you two will be swallowed by the passing foundation monster."
Maybe the gift from Zhang Wei was very popular with the old man, so the old man mentioned it a few more words.
"Thank you, senior."
Zhang Wei cupped his hands, and then carefully selected with Dongli Qingtong.
Then Zhang Wei saw a special place.
Zhang Wei couldn't help but pointed to a huge island with the name "Ghost Island" on it and asked, "Senior, how can I sell it here?"
