Chapter 187 Yan Ming's Thoughts
Lin Jing was holding the top-grade Taoist weapon, the Lingyin Lightless Sword, and was stunned.
Previously, True Lord Qi Yan had said that this Lingyin Lightless Sword was at most between a mid-grade Taoist weapon and a high-grade Taoist weapon.
But he never thought that after the Seven Flames Master actually forged it, he actually forged a top-grade Taoist weapon, which was far beyond Lin Jing's expectations.
and.
Lin Jing also knew that the materials he provided were not enough to upgrade the Lingyin Lightless Sword to the level of a top-grade Taoist weapon.
Then it could only be that the Seven Flames Master added more advanced materials into it, which made the Lingyin Lightless Sword a top-grade Taoist weapon.
Lin Jing held the Lingyin Lightless Sword, lowered his head and examined it carefully, then raised his head and said to the Seven Flames Master:
"Fellow Daoist Qi Yan, this..."
"I know that with the materials I provided, it is definitely impossible to upgrade the Lingyin Lightless Sword to the level of a top-grade Taoist weapon."
"Fellow Daoist, you must have added other rare materials to it for me, and the value of these materials must be quite high."
At this point, Lin Jing looked at Master Qi Yan and spoke again:
"Fellow Daoist Qi Yan..."
"You're doing this because you need my help, right?"
After hearing this, True Lord Qi Yan did not hide anything, but spoke directly:
"When I reforged this flying sword for you, in addition to the two materials provided by Fellow Daoist Lin, I did add two other rare materials."
"But this material was not provided by me, but by Old Yan."
"Fellow Daoist Yan?" Lin Jing turned around in confusion and looked at Yan Ming beside him.
Qi Yan Zhenjun nodded and said:
"Old Yan, needs your help with something."
At this time, Yan Ming also clasped his fists and said:
"Friend Lin..."
"I have a favor to ask, and I hope that Fellow Daoist Lin can grant it."
Lin Jing also clasped his fists and said:
"Friend Yan..."
"You are so polite. If you have any questions, just tell me. If I can help, I will definitely do my best."
"I just don't know what you want me to do for you, Brother Yan?"
Seven Flame Master said at this time:
"Alchemy..."
"Alchemy?" Lin Jing was puzzled.
"If you need to make an elixir, Daoist Brother Yan, just ask and I will naturally help you."
As he spoke, Lin Jing looked at the Lingyin Lightless Sword in his hand and said:
"Why should Fellow Daoist Yan spend so much money?"
Indeed, in Lin Jing's opinion.
With the relationship between Yan Xing and Yan Yue, even if Yan Ming needed to make pills, under normal circumstances, he would not refuse.
Besides, Yan Ming is the owner of Lingyan Island, and Lingyan Island has many rare high-level spiritual plants.
One day or another, he might need to get some rare spiritual plants from Lingyan Island.
Therefore, Lin Jing was also happy to have a good relationship with Yan Ming and Lingyan Island.
But, Yan Ming gave himself a big surprise right away.
Directly provide materials to upgrade the Lingyin Lightless Sword to the level of a top-grade Taoist weapon.
In this way, he would invisibly owe Yan Ming a big favor, and if he made some requests to him, it would be difficult for Lin Jing to refuse.
Moreover, once he owes this big favor, Lin Jing will always feel that he owes something, which is not in line with Lin Jing's nature. Lin Jing will definitely find a way to repay it.
Lin Jing originally thought that Yan Ming did this because he had something difficult to deal with.
In the end, it was just alchemy...
It is obvious that what Lin Jing needs to pay is not proportional to what Yan Ming pays.
This is unreasonable.
...
Then, after thinking for a moment, Lin Jing said:
"Fellow Daoist Yan did this..."
"Could it be that the elixir you want to refine is not easy?"
Yan Ming nodded and said:
"indeed so..."
Lin Jing nodded secretly. Only in this way could Yan Ming pay such a high price from the beginning.
The purpose is to make it difficult for oneself to refuse.
Then Lin Jing continued to ask:
"I wonder what kind of elixir Brother Yan wants me to help refine?"
Yan Ming looked at Lin Jing and said:
"Washing elixir..."
"And it's at least a top-grade soul cleansing pill."
"It is not easy to refine the Soul Cleansing Pill, and the higher the quality, the harder it is to find. So if you want to get at least the best grade Soul Cleansing Pill, refining only one furnace may not work."
"It would take at least several furnaces, or even more than a dozen, to have one."
"Besides, I need not one, but two top-grade cleansing pills..."
After listening to Yan Ming's words, Lin Jing suddenly understood.
"Fellow Daoist Yan, this is for Yan Xing and Yan Yue..."
Yan Ming nodded and said:
"Xing'er and Yue'er's aptitude is too poor. If I, as their father, don't do something for them, they will most likely only reach the Golden Core Stage in their lifetime."
"The life span of a Jindan stage cultivator is only 500 years..."
"And I am only over 300 years old now. If I leave it alone, I will probably end up with the old sending off the young."
"That's why I found Fellow Daoist Lin..."
"As long as their spiritual roots are further improved, with the foundation of our Lingyan Island, we can push them both to the Nascent Soul stage..."
"As for whether they can continue to improve after the Nascent Soul stage, it depends on their luck."
"As a father, there is only so much I can do."
"I hope that Fellow Daoist Lin can understand..."
Lin Jing looked at Yan Ming and said with a fist:
"Fellow Daoist Yan has gone to such lengths for his daughter. I really admire you."
"Leave the alchemy to me."
Lin Jing said this from the bottom of his heart.
You know, how much will Lingyan Island pay for Yan Ming's decision?
As a fifth-tier elixir, the materials used to make the Soul Cleansing Pill are extremely valuable.
There is even the hard-to-find Spirit Cleansing Liquid, the price of which is ridiculously high.
Furthermore, refining the Spirit Cleansing Pill does not mean that you can succeed after refining it in one furnace.
Even if the Spirit Cleansing Pill is refined, it doesn't mean that it will definitely lead to success.
Different qualities of Spirit Cleansing Pills have different effects, which means the chances of improving spiritual root qualifications are also different.
For example:
The chance of improving spiritual roots by taking low-grade Xiling Pills is only 10%.
The chance of improvement for the middle-grade Xiling Pill is 20%.
The top-grade Spirit Cleansing Pill is much better, with a 50% chance of raising the spiritual root qualification by one level.
There is also the ultimate, which should be considered the highest.
80% chance to increase one's spiritual root qualification by one level.
certainly.
At this time, the Immaculate Pill was not available.
If it is the Immaculate Cleansing Elixir, then the chance is 100%, and after taking it, the upgrade will definitely succeed.
However, compared to other elixirs, the refining of the Spirit Cleansing Pill is more difficult, and the quality is also difficult to guarantee.
Chapter 188: The Strength of the Howling Wolf Clan
and.
The Soul Cleansing Pill is different from other pills in that each person can only take one pill in their lifetime.
Of course, unless you have a cleansing elixir.
If the use of other quality cleansing pills fails, you can use the Immaculate Cleansing Pill to remedy the situation.
But even if it is the Immaculate Cleansing Spirit Pill, it can only be used to improve the aptitude once. After the aptitude is successfully improved, taking the Immaculate Cleansing Spirit Pill again will have no effect.
However, it was not easy to refine the Spirit Cleansing Pill, and refining the Immaculate Pill was even more difficult.
Therefore, Yan Ming asked Lin Jing to refine a Soul Cleansing Pill of at least the best quality.
"In that case, I'll leave it to Fellow Daoist Lin." Yan Ming clasped his fists and said.
Lin Jing waved his hand and said quickly:
"You are too polite..."
After that, Lin Jing asked:
"I just wonder how many spiritual plants Fellow Daoist Yan has collected for refining the Spirit Cleansing Pill?"
Yan Ming then said:
"actually..."
"Since they were born, I have started looking for some spiritual treasures and spiritual liquids that can improve their spiritual root qualifications."
"During this period, we also collected a few soul cleansing liquids."
"But after they took it, although there was some improvement, it is still far from the improvement of spiritual roots."
"With no other options, I had to look for other natural treasures that could improve my spiritual roots."
"I even asked about the legendary fruit that defies fate..."
"But there is no news."
"It was not until an auction more than a decade ago that I learned that among the top powers in the Inner Sea, there was a kind of elixir called the Soul Cleansing Pill that was circulated."
Speaking of this, Yan Ming said a little embarrassedly:
"To be honest with you, Fellow Daoist Lin, I mentioned before that a friend of mine had obtained a broken recipe for the Spirit Cleansing Pill."
"It wasn't really any friend, it was just me..."
"I bought the recipe for the Xilingdan at that auction, and since then, I have started collecting the ingredients for the Xilingdan."
"So far, apart from the Spirit Cleansing Liquid, there are only a few drops left. What's missing is a main spiritual plant. I can get a set of materials to refine the Spirit Cleansing Pill."
After hearing this, Lin Jing was extremely surprised. He did not expect Yan Ming to have collected so many. So Lin Jing asked:
"I wonder what kind of spiritual plant Daoist Yan is still missing?"
Yan Ming hesitated for a moment before speaking:
"The companion spiritual herb next to the Spirit Cleansing Liquid is the White Jade Purifying Spiritual Herb."
White Jade Pure Spirit Grass is white jade in color and weed-like in shape, making it very easy to distinguish.
The White Jade Pure Spirit Grass has very strict requirements on the environment and will only grow beside the ancient Spirit Washing Spring.
For example, the Spirit Cleansing Spring in the Demon Clan Secret Realm had only a small cup of Spirit Cleansing Liquid, which was not enough for the White Jade Pure Spirit Grass to survive.
Therefore, there is no White Jade Spiritual Grass growing beside the Spiritual Cleansing Pond.
If you want to collect the White Jade Pure Spirit Grass, you must go to a more aged and more spiritual cleansing spring.
Such harsh conditions are naturally hard to find.
Lin Jing then fell into deep thought. After a moment, Lin Jing spoke:
"The White Jade Pure Spiritual Herb is indeed hard to find. Only by finding the Spiritual Spring first can you find the White Jade Pure Spiritual Herb."
Yan Ming also frowned and said:
"yes..."
"Nowadays, let alone the ancient Spirit Washing Spring, even a very small Spirit Washing Pool cannot be found, let alone the White Jade Spirit Purifying Grass."
At this point, Lin Jing suddenly looked at Yan Ming and said:
"Speaking of the Soul Washing Pool, I know of a place that has one?"
After hearing this, Yan Ming immediately raised his head and looked at Lin Jing, and asked in surprise:
"Fellow Daoist Lin, do you know where there is a soul-washing pond?"
Lin Jing nodded and said:
"yes..."
"It's just that we probably can't enter that place now."
"We can't get in?"
"Mysterious place, or ruins?"
"Could it be a special relic that is closed?"
Lin Jing shook his head and said:
"It's not a relic, but a secret place."
"In the Netherworld of Nanzhou, there is a secret realm of the demon race. In that secret realm, there is a soul-washing pond. However, the soul-washing pond should be occupied by the Howling Wolf Clan at this moment."
"We can't get through at all."
"Howling Wolf Clan..." Yan Ming frowned and fell into deep thought.
After a moment, Yan Ming spoke:
"I know that something has indeed happened in the Netherworld of Nanzhou, and the instigator is none other than the Howling Wolf Clan."
Lin Jing nodded and said:
"Yes..."
"The Howling Wolf Clan entered the Netherworld of Nanzhou through that secret realm."
"The Spirit Cleansing Pool I mentioned is in that secret realm. However, there is not much Spirit Cleansing Liquid in that secret realm, and it should not contain the White Jade Spirit Purifying Grass that Daoist wants."
Lin Jing's words made Yan Ming fall into deep thought.
After a moment, Yan Ming finished thinking and then spoke:
"What Fellow Daoist Lin said should be correct..."
"If it is really the kind of spiritual spring that has accumulated over a long period of time, it will definitely be impossible to hide it."
"Only those soul-washing pools that were built not too long ago, and which don't have much soul-washing liquid, can't be circulated."
"I'm afraid that the soul cleansing liquid was divided up as soon as it was discovered."
After listening to this, Lin Jing nodded.
The Howling Wolf Clan occupied the Soul Washing Pond, and I wonder if they will protect it like the three major sects.
But even if they are protected, what can they do?
There was only a cup of soul cleansing liquid, and I didn't even know if there were a hundred drops. It was not enough to be shared.
Lin Jing clearly remembered that he had taken the Spirit Cleansing Liquid for more than a month, at least one drop a day.
Sometimes a few drops a day...
Even so, it took Lin Jing more than a month to improve his qualifications.
If you calculate it this way, Lin Jing would have taken at least dozens of drops of Spirit Cleansing Liquid to improve his aptitude.
Lin Jing's improvement is so difficult.
If the Howling Wolf Clan encountered other people who wanted to upgrade, wouldn't they only be able to upgrade one or two people at most before all the Spirit Cleansing Liquid was used up?
So, how could it be spread?
...
At this time, True Lord Qi Yan spoke:
"It's not a good idea to get involved in what's happening in the Netherworld of Nanzhou right now..."
"It is said that the Southern Continent Underworld has lost 90% of its control, leaving less than 10% still under the control of the three major sects."
"That's even the case when the Howling Wolf Clan didn't mobilize the entire clan."
"If the entire Howling Wolf Clan had gone out, the three major sects in the Southern Continent Underworld would have been wiped out by now."
Upon hearing this, Lin Jing asked True Lord Qi Yan:
"Fellow Daoist Qi Yan..."
"Are the Howling Wolf Clan that strong?"
Qi Yan Zhenjun nodded and said:
"The Howling Sky Wolf Clan is one of the top five demon cultivation clans in the Western Continent Demon Region."
"If their entire clan goes out, it will be effortless to wipe out all the human cultivators in the Netherworld of Nanzhou."
"The reason for the current stalemate is that they are still facing pressure from the human cultivators from the Demonic Region of Western Continent."
"so..."
"The Howling Sky Wolf Clan doesn't dare to spend too much energy in the Netherworld of Nanzhou..."
Chapter 189: Spirit Storage Pearl
"The cultivation world of the demonic realm of Xizhou?" Lin Jing asked in confusion.
Qi Yan Zhenjun nodded and said:
"Yes..."
"The Demonic Territory of Western Continent is not peaceful. For countless years, the human cultivators have been fighting with the demon cultivators. Over time, the current situation has been formed."
"Now, in the Xizhou Demon Territory, the power of the human race and the power of the demon race have almost reached a balance."
"If the Howling Wolf Clan, one of the top five demon clans, suddenly mobilized its forces to head to the Southern Continent Underworld, it would be very likely to be noticed by the cultivators of the Western Continent Demon Realm."
"If this happens, the balance between the two sides will be broken, which will have a huge impact on the demons in the entire Xizhou Demon Region."
"So, the Howling Wolf Clan doesn't dare to do this lightly."
Lin Jing then frowned and said:
"But even so, the Southern Continent Underworld still couldn't resist the invasion of the Howling Wolf Clan."
Qi Yan Zhenjun nodded and couldn't help but sigh:
"indeed..."
"After the disaster a million years ago, the entire Nanzhou Netherworld was almost completely destroyed, and the remaining human cultivators were almost cut off from their inheritance."
"The most terrifying thing is that the spiritual energy of the entire Nanzhou Netherworld has become extremely thin after this disaster."
"It's not suitable for monks to survive here."
Speaking of this, True Lord Qi Yan was somewhat indignant:
"If it weren't for this, how could the Southern Continent Underworld have fallen to such a state, and have been bullied by a small tribe of Howling Wolves?"
Yan Ming also spoke up at the side:
"I once learned from some ancient books that the Southern Continent Underworld was very powerful before, the strongest of the four regions."
"It can even be said that it is not an exaggeration to say that there are gods everywhere..."
"If it was the Netherworld of Nanzhou before the disaster, I'm afraid that any random sect of cultivators could wipe out the entire Howling Wolf Clan."
Qi Yan Zhenjun nodded and said:
"As the saying goes, all good things must come to an end..."
"No force in the world can prosper forever, just like the Lin family, an ancient alchemy family that was once famous in our Demon Sea."
"It was also at the peak of their prosperity that they were suddenly punished by heaven, and the entire family went from prosperity to extinction within ten thousand years."
"Perhaps it is because the Southern Continent Underworld is also like this, because it is too prosperous, so it has attracted this disaster."
After hearing this, Lin Jing also fell silent.
...
Seeing that the atmosphere was silent for a while, True Lord Qi Yan quickly spoke again and said:
"but..."
"Don't worry about the affairs of the Southern Continent Underworld."
"If nothing unexpected happens, the news of the Howling Wolf Clan's invasion of the Southern Continent's Netherworld should have spread to the Western Continent's Demonic Territory by now."
"I estimate that the Xizhou Demon Territory will take action soon."
"When the time comes, wait until the monks from the Demon Realm of Western Continent drive away all the wolf cubs of the Howling Sky Wolf Clan in the Nether Realm of Southern Continent."
"Perhaps the secret realm that Fellow Daoist Lin mentioned will open again. Then we can go and see if there are any other soul-washing springs in that secret realm."
"Since there are conditions for condensing the Spirit Cleansing Spring there, maybe there are other Spirit Cleansing Springs in other places in that secret realm?"
After hearing this, Lin Jing nodded and said:
"It is indeed possible..."
"Before, when the Demon Clan's secret realm was occupied by the Howling Wolf Clan, there were still many places that had not been explored."
Yan Ming became alert when he heard this, and said to Lin Jing:
"Friend Lin, are you telling the truth?"
Lin Jing nodded and said:
"nature..."
"I wonder why Fellow Daoist Lin knows so much?" Yan Ming looked at Lin Jing in confusion and asked.
Lin Jing was silent for a moment, and then spoke:
"To be honest with you two, I was originally from the Netherworld of Nanzhou."
"It was only after the Howling Wolf Clan invaded the Southern Continent that we came to the Thousand Islands by chance."
"So that's how it is..."
After Yan Ming and Qi Yan Zhenjun finished their conversation, they stopped dwelling on this topic...
...
after.
The two of them discussed the matter of the Xiling Pill with Lin Jing.
After discussion, Lin Jing also obtained Yan Ming's permission to go to Lingyan Island at any time to retrieve the materials for refining the Spirit Cleansing Pill.
When Lin Jing learned that those spiritual plants were planted by Yan Ming in the spiritual fields of Lingyan Island.
Lin Jing also specifically explained to Yan Ming that he might take out some more roots, seeds, etc. of spiritual plants.
Yan Ming also knew that Lin Jing had planted spiritual fields on Liyan Island, so he didn't care and agreed to Lin Jing's request.
Lin Jing's move was naturally to store the spiritual plants used to refine the Spirit Cleansing Pill into his own system space.
In this way, he wouldn't have to go through the trouble of searching for spiritual plants everywhere.
In addition, Lin Jing already had a spiritual spring in the system space.
You can plant other spiritual plants in the Dao system space and ripen them at any time.
By then, I would have the Spirit Cleansing Liquid and other materials, and I would only lack a white jade spirit-purifying grass to make the Spirit Cleansing Pill.
at last.
The two also discussed the matter of the spirit cleansing liquid.
From the conversation just now, Lin Jing learned that Yan Ming had two drops of soul cleansing liquid in his hand, but due to the characteristics of the soul cleansing liquid, it would evaporate very quickly once it left the soul cleansing pool.
Since Yan Ming had obtained the Spirit Cleansing Liquid, he must have a way to preserve it, so Lin Jing asked again about this preservation method.
As a result, Yan Ming directly gave Lin Jing a very inconspicuous round bead that was only the size of an ordinary Buddhist bead.
It's called the Soul Storage Pearl.
Although this spirit storage bead is inconspicuous, it is made of special materials and has been refined by a master of refining.
This Soul Storage Pearl itself is equivalent to a space magic weapon of the Daobao level. Although it is called a magic weapon, it cannot be used against the enemy.
Moreover, the space inside is pitifully small.
Its only function is to keep the spirit cleansing liquid inside from evaporating.
When refining the elixir, you can put the beads filled with the spirit cleansing liquid into the elixir furnace, and then open it at the appropriate time.
Only in this way can the Spirit Cleansing Pill be refined.
Of course, you don't need this Soul Storage Pearl. If your cultivation level exceeds the Spiritual Transformation level, you can directly use your soul to wrap the Soul Cleansing Liquid and refine the Soul Cleansing Pill.
You can either use a space-type Taoist treasure similar to this bead...
After obtaining the Spirit Storage Pearl, Lin Jing did not hesitate to collect it.
When Lin Jing put away the Spirit Storage Pearl, he scanned with his spiritual sense and saw a gray robe.
Lin Jing's mind moved, and he directly took out the gray robe from the space ring.
This grey robe is exactly the Heaven-shaking Universe Robe that Lin Jing got from the head of the Puppet Society.
At first, Lin Jing was very excited about this Heaven-Covering Universe Robe, as its effect was too powerful.
However, because this Heaven Covering Universe Robe had been refined by the Puppet Society's leader, Lin Jing had been unable to use it.
So I kept throwing it into the space ring.
Now, Master Qi Yan is here, maybe he can find a way to solve this problem.
then.
Lin Jing took out the Heaven-Covering Universe Robe and planned to show it to Master Qi Yan...
Chapter 190 Rumors
After Lin Jing took out the Heaven-Covering Universe Robe, he said directly to the Seven Flames Master:
"Fellow Daoist Qi Yan..."
"I have a Taoist weapon here, which I got from my enemy, but this Taoist weapon has been refined by his blood, and I have never been able to refine it."
"I wonder if you, Daoist Fellow Qi Yan, have any other ideas?"
After hearing this, True Lord Qi Yan stretched out his hand and said to Lin Jing:
"Come..."
"Show it to me."
"Okay..." Lin Jing then handed the Heaven Covering Universe Robe to Qi Yan Zhen Jun.
Qi Yan Zhenjun took the Heaven-Covering Universe Robe and examined it carefully.
Then, he used his spiritual power and divine consciousness to conduct a series of tests.
It was not until a long while later that True Lord Qi Yan spoke to Lin Jing:
"I guess your enemy has been beheaded long ago."
Lin Jing nodded and said:
"Yes."
Qi Yan Zhenjun nodded slightly, then said:
"Generally, blood-refined magic weapons are nurtured by the monks using their blood essence at the beginning of forging. During the nurturing process, the magic weapons will gradually develop spirituality and become more and more compatible with their masters."
"This kind of magic weapon made from blood has many advantages, but also obvious disadvantages. Once the owner dies, the magic weapon will not be left behind."
"And this robe was not nurtured by the blood refining method right after it was forged."
"It is very likely that your enemy obtained it from somewhere else later on. It's just that after obtaining it, he used the blood refining method to refine it..."
"So that's how it is..." After True Lord Qi Yan's explanation, Lin Jing immediately understood what was going on.
Then, Lin Jing continued to ask:
"Then can this robe clear the blood refining method he left behind and refine it again to recognize its master?"
Qi Yan Zhenjun nodded and said:
"This is natural..."
"If this is his life-saving magic weapon that he nurtured through the blood refining method, then I really don't have any good solution for the time being."
"But this robe was only nurtured using the blood refining method, and it is not his life-saving magic weapon."
"I still have a way to remove the blood refining method left on it."
"Leave this robe to me. In a few days, I will be able to remove the remaining blood refining method from it."
"By then, Brother Lin, you will be able to refine and use it again."
"In that case, thank you very much, fellow Taoist." Lin Jing quickly clasped his fists and said.
"You are too polite, Fellow Daoist Lin..." True Lord Qi Yan also clasped his fists and replied.
...
Next.
Yan Ming and Qi Yan Zhenjun stayed on Liyan Island for a few more days.
It was not until a few days later that True Lord Qi Yan cleared the blood refining method of the Heaven-Covering Universe Robe and handed it to Lin Jing, and then the two of them left Liyan Island.
This time, Lin Jing also followed the two of them to Lingyan Island.
The reason for going to Lingyan Island this time was naturally to find the spiritual plants used to refine the Spirit Cleansing Pill.
It was not until he got the other spiritual plants used to refine the Spirit Cleansing Pill from Liyan Island that Lin Jing returned to Liyan Island.
After returning to Liyan Island, Lin Jing returned to his own courtyard and began to practice alchemy in seclusion...
...
Time flies, and another month has passed quickly.
The power division meeting that Xue Yilin mentioned last time is about to begin.
In fact, the power division conference had already been widely rumored a month ago.
Because this incident affected all the cultivators in the Thousand Island Region, the cultivators in the Thousand Island Region were very concerned.
As for the other low-level cultivators below the Jindan stage, it was fine. No matter how the Thousand Island Region changed, they could not resist and could only endure it silently.
after all.
If they left the Thousand Islands, they would have nowhere to go.
But the good thing is that no matter how things change, this power division conference will not affect these people.
The ones who were most affected were naturally the Jindan-stage island masters of other small islands.
Originally, they occupied an island with one person, or two or three people, and lived comfortably.
But this means that there is one more island manager above them.
Furthermore, this administrator was a Nascent Soul cultivator, so even if they wanted to resist, it would be impossible.
Of course, they couldn't possibly resist, because this was news that came from the three major islands.
In the Thousand Islands, no one dared to resist the orders of the three major islands, otherwise, they would not be able to escape even if they wanted to.
When this order first came out, since no one from the three islands came forward to testify, people were skeptical and waited and watched.
Until this incident became a hot topic and the regional division meeting was about to begin.
Bai Yi, the owner of Yuetian Island, came forward to confirm the news.
After receiving the clear news, some island owners who valued freedom and disliked being managed by others left the Thousand Islands Region directly.
Their departure is just a prelude.
After all, they are only a small part, and most people are still unwilling to leave the Thousand Islands.
After they left, some other monks immediately reoccupied their previous island.
Everyone knows that these things are bound to happen.
Therefore, no one from the three major islands came forward, and the matter was left untouched.
Besides that, there is Zhang Jian.
Previously, Lin Jing accidentally revealed this news when chatting with Zhang Jian.
However, since there was no news at the time, Zhang Jian was not too panicked even though he learned the news.
Until the news came out later.
People began to speculate on the purpose of the three islands, and rumors spread everywhere.
It is said that the three major islands control various islands in order to control the entire Thousand Islands region and prepare to go to war with other sea areas.
Others say that this is a method that the three major islands came up with in order to concentrate the resources of each island for their own use.
Finally, what was even more outrageous was that some people actually said that the three major islands did this in order to set up a large formation that could cover the entire Thousand Islands.
Then, all the living creatures in the Thousand Islands were killed for sacrifice.
Finally, through sacrifice, the island masters of the three major islands will ascend to heaven.
...
...
Etc., etc...
There are so many rumors that many people are confused.
Even Zhang Jian was a little confused.
So Zhang Jian hurried over to ask Lin Jing what was going on.
Lin Jing didn't know much about this matter, and had no way to answer Zhang Jian.
It will only become clear after attending the regional power division conference.
However, Lin Jing did not believe the rumors circulating in the outside world.
After all, this is the Thousand Islands Region, with thousands of islands and hundreds of millions of creatures living here.
How could it be so easy for people to casually offer sacrifices to it?
Lin Jing ignored these rumors and continued to refine his own elixir.
Until this day, someone came to Liyan Island and invited Lin Jing to go to Yuetian Island to participate in the regional power division conference.
The person who came to see Lin Jing was Xue Yilin...
Chapter 191 Xue Yilin's Mission
When Lin Jing saw Xue Yilin, he was still smiling like before, looking completely harmless.
But Lin Jing knew that although this person looked smiling, he was actually very decisive.
And its methods are so vicious that people dare not underestimate it.
Then, Lin Jing stepped forward, clasped his fists and said to Xue Yilin:
"Fellow Daoist Xue..."
"Now that the regional power division conference is about to begin, how come Fellow Daoist Xue has the leisure to come to my Liyan Island?"
Xue Yilin also clasped his fists and said with a smile:
"I have some missions to perform, and I just happened to pass by Lin Daoyou's Liyan Island."
"So I came to call Fellow Daoist Lin, and planned to go to Yuetian Island with Fellow Daoist Lin."
"I came to see Fellow Daoist Lin this time without saying hello in advance. I hope you don't mind."
Lin Jing then said:
"No problem..."
"Fellow Daoist Xue, you are worrying too much. I am also planning to leave for Yuetian Island."
"Now that Fellow Daoist Xue is here too, it's a good opportunity for us to go together."
After hearing this, Xue Yilin smiled and said:
"In that case, then, Brother Lin, shall we set off now?"
Lin Jing nodded and said:
"good..."
Seeing Lin Jing agreed, Xue Yilin quickly summoned his own flying boat and said to Lin Jing:
"Friend Lin..."
"The journey is long, how about taking my flying boat?"
Lin Jing hesitated for a while...
Although Xue Yilin's actions are unpredictable and his methods are vicious.
But Lin Jing had no conflict with this person.
He wouldn't say anything, and suddenly attacked me.
From the time they met two months ago to the time they met again this time, Xue Yilin had never shown any hostility towards me. Instead, he was deliberately getting closer to me.
I don't know why Lin Jing did this, but I think he must have some purpose.
If the two of them were traveling together, Lin Jing could still inquire about the situation along the way.
Thinking of this, Lin Jing nodded and agreed to Xue Yilin's request.
Even if he was really hostile to him, Lin Jing was not afraid of him.
Although Lin Jing was only at the early stage of Nascent Soul, if they really came to a fight, Lin Jing felt that he might not be his opponent.
Especially now that the Lingyin Lightless Sword has been upgraded to a top-grade Taoist weapon.
so.
Facing this person's invitation, Lin Jing did not refuse and boarded the flying boat directly.
After the two boarded the flying boat, Xue Yilin directly controlled the flying boat and flew out with a "whoosh".
This person's flying boat is also an extraordinary item.
Although not as fast as Lin Jing's Yiying flying boat, it was much faster than other flying boats.
...
The flying boat flew quickly over the Thousand Islands, and Lin Jing started chatting with Xue Yilin.
When the flying boat was halfway through its journey, Xue Yilin suddenly changed direction and flew in another direction.
Lin Jing frowned immediately, not knowing what Xue Yilin meant.
However.
Before Lin Jing asked, Xue Yilin smiled and explained:
"Friend Lin..."
"I have a mission to complete, so I'll take up some time. I hope Fellow Daoist Lin doesn't mind."
After hearing Xue Yilin's explanation, Lin Jing's brows relaxed:
"I don't know what the mission is. Why do you want Fellow Daoist Xue to make another trip before the regional strength division meeting begins?"
Xue Yilin narrowed his eyes, and then spoke:
"I think Fellow Daoist Lin should be aware of the recent rumors."
Lin Jing nodded and said:
"I have heard a lot."
"However, these rumors are nothing more than random speculations by some people. They won't cause any big waves, so I don't pay much attention to them."
Xue Yilin shook his head and said:
"Friend Lin, you are wrong to think so."
"Oh?" Lin Jing asked doubtfully:
"Is there some hidden secret in this?"
Xue Yilin nodded and said:
"certainly..."
"The reason why these rumors are spreading is that someone is taking advantage of this time to stir up trouble. They want to harm the three major islands."
Lin Jing was surprised:
"Someone wants to harm the three major islands?"
"In this Thousand Islands region, is there anyone who has the guts to do this?"
After saying this, Lin Jing asked in confusion:
"But even if that's true, what's the point of provoking these low-level monks? Does he really think that he can overthrow the three major islands with these low-level monks?"
"Isn't that a bit too fantastical?"
Xue Yilin narrowed his eyes, and then said:
"Of course it can't be that simple."
"No matter what rumors these low-level monks spread, they cannot shake the foundation of the three major islands."
"It's just that someone wants to take advantage of this incident to stir up some trouble during the regional power division conference."
Hearing this, Lin Jing was even more confused:
"How does this matter relate to the Regional Division Conference?"
Xue Yilin then chuckled and said:
"hey-hey..."
"You'll understand when you get to Yuetian Island."
After saying this, Xue Yilin looked towards an island in front of him and said:
"alright..."
"I have reached my destination. Fellow Daoist Lin, please wait for a moment. I will be back soon."
As he said this, Xue Yilin left the flying boat and flew towards the island ahead.
The island ahead was much larger than Liyan Island. Xue Yilin flew directly to the island without concealing his aura.
When Xue Yilin arrived at the island, two monks at the peak of the Golden Core stage attacked Xue Yilin with their magic weapons.
When the two sides met, neither spoke.
The two monks at the peak of the Golden Core stage attacked with all their strength right from the start.
Xue Yilin was not ambiguous either, and directly brought out an ancient green copper furnace and placed it above the two men's heads.
As Xue Yilin activated the green copper furnace, several withered skulls formed by black mist flew out and attacked the two Jindan monks.
Then, a battle between the two sides began.
The withered skulls formed by the black mist kept whistling, and the two monks at the peak of the golden elixir stage also sacrificed various magic weapons, and countless dazzling lights changed the color of the sky.
However, those two cultivators at the peak of the Golden Core realm were extraordinary.
But he could never be Xue Yilin's opponent.
In a short while, the two were killed by Xue Yilin.
Xue Yilin even cut off the heads of the two men and kept them.
After killing the two, Xue Yilin directly controlled the black skulls and flew towards the city below, towards the most magnificent building in the middle of the city.
On the way, the black skull did not hide anything, but rushed directly into the city and rushed towards the building.
Wherever the black skull passed, no matter if it was a monk or some mortals, they could not hold out for a breath and fell to the ground one after another.
They even died miserably, their entire bodies becoming mummies.
It was obvious that their life essence was instantly sucked away by the black skull, which was why this happened.
When Lin Jing saw this, he just frowned slightly, but did not make any move to stop it.
After all, these people have nothing to do with him, so there is no need for him to take risks for them.
Besides, Xue Yilin is a cultivator from Yuetian Island and he came here on a mission, so this matter must be related to the owner of Yuetian Island.
This is not the time for him to be reckless...
Chapter 192: Yuetian Palace
but.
Xue Yilin did not slaughter anyone wantonly, and rushed to the front of the magnificent building.
Those black bones actually destroyed the building directly.
After it was destroyed, a red teleportation array was revealed...
A teleportation array that Lin Jing is quite familiar with.
Seeing the red teleportation array, Lin Jing frowned immediately.
Because the teleportation array was exactly the same as the one that teleported him to the Soul Devouring Blood Realm before.
Lin Jing was even familiar with the aura coming from the formation.
It was the aura of the Soul Devouring Blood Realm.
Could it be that the two Jindan peak cultivators just now are related to the mysterious Huashen cultivator?
While Lin Jing was thinking, Xue Yilin had already controlled the black skull and rushed towards the formation.
The formation couldn't bear the load and exploded with a loud bang.
After destroying the teleportation array, Xue Yilin scanned the area again, and seeing that nothing was missing, he flew back again.
It was not until Xue Yilin left that the cultivators and mortals in the city below came out trembling with fear to check the situation.
After returning to the flying boat, Xue Yilin put on his signature smile again, and then said to Lin Jing:
"Friend Lin..."
"My mission is complete. We can now set off to Yuetian Island."
"I know that Fellow Daoist Lin must have many doubts at this moment. I will explain them to you when we get to Yuetian Island."
After hearing this, Lin Jing nodded and said:
"good..."
After saying that, the two boarded the flying boat and continued to fly towards Yuetian Island.
In this way, the two of them took the flying boat and arrived at Yuetian Island.
This is Lin Jing's first visit to Yuetian Island.
As one of the three major islands in the Thousand Islands, Yuetian Island is not small in size.
The island is not only full of spiritual energy, but also has endless mountains, desert grasslands and other landforms that can only be found on land.
The island has rich terrain, so there must be a lot of resources. There is even a small vein of high-quality spiritual stones in Yuetian Island.
That's why.
In Yuetian Island, there are many cultivators who are in the foundation building stage or even the golden elixir stage.
These monks are distributed in three cities on the island.
Among them, the city where all the successive island owners of Yuetian Island lived was Yuetian City, which was also the largest city.
This regional power division conference was also held in Yuetian City.
Before reaching Yuetian Island, Xue Yilin put away the flying boat and flew towards Yuetian City on Yuetian Island with Lin Jing.
This is also a rule of Yuetian Island. Anyone who lands on the island is not allowed to drive a flying boat.
This rule is the same as that of the Blue Sea City.
Lin Jing and Xue Yilin were both Nascent Soul cultivators, so their speed was not slow. In less than an hour, they arrived at Yuetian City.
After arriving at Yuetian City, Xue Yilin directly said to Lin Jing:
"Friend Lin, follow me..."
As he said this, he led Lin Jing towards Yuetian City.
This Yuetian City is not small, almost as big as Bihai City.
Yuetian City was just like Bihai City, with shops lining both sides of the street and many monks coming and going, making it extremely prosperous.
Behind Yuetian City, there is a towering mountain. On top of that mountain is the Yuetian Palace where Bai Yi, the master of Yuetian Island, lives.
It is said that this Yuetian Palace was built by Li Mingwu, the previous owner of Yuetian Island.
However, after Li Mingwu disappeared, after a fight, Bai Yi became the master of Yuetian Island and moved into Yuetian Palace.
In this way, the two of them went all the way inward, passed through Yuetian City, and came directly to the foot of the mountain where Yuetian Palace was located.
Lin Jing couldn't help but look at Xue Yilin in confusion:
"Fellow Daoist Xue, the regional power division conference shouldn't be held in Yuetian Palace, right?"
Xue Yilin nodded and said:
"Yes, the regional power conference will be held in Yuetian City."
"But I brought you here because Lord White Island wants to see you."
"See me?" Lin Jing couldn't help but wonder.
"Yes!" Xue Yilin nodded.
"Friend Lin, let's go. You'll understand once we get up there."
Lin Jing looked up at the Yuetian Palace on the top of the mountain and couldn't help but think to himself:
"I am just an inconspicuous island owner in the Thousand Islands Region. I usually don't show off. Why would the owner of Yuetian Island look for me?"
"unless..."
"I have something special that caught his attention."
Lin Jing thought about it and there was only one possibility...
It's the Five Elements Magic.
Previously, I learned from Jin Jue that Xue Yilin was looking for someone to practice the Five Elements Kung Fu, and Jin Jue was even killed by Xue Yilin because of this.
And Xue Yilin is a subordinate of Bai Yi, the master of Yuetian Island.
So it was obvious that Bai Yi was looking for someone who practiced the Five Elements Technique, and he happened to be practicing the Five Elements Technique.
That's why Xue Yilin came to find me and took me to meet Bai Yi, the owner of Yuetian Island.
However, now that he knew their purpose, Lin Jing felt relieved.
Now that we have come here, we can no longer hide, so we can only go up and see what is going on.
Then, Lin Jing nodded and said to Xue Yilin:
"good..."
"I would like to ask Brother Xue to lead the way."
Xue Yilin nodded, and then led Lin Jing to the top of the mountain.
The two came to the entrance. On the stairs leading to the top of the mountain, there were two Jindan-stage guards standing guard.
After seeing Xue Yilin, the two men quickly made way for him, bowed and said:
"Senior Xue..."
Xue Yilin had no expression on his face, he just nodded slightly, then walked past the two people and stepped onto the mountain steps.
Lin Jing then followed Xue Yilin and walked upwards.
The mountain where Yuetian Palace was built was so high that it reached the clouds. Even the steps leading to the top of the mountain under their feet were extremely majestic and reached directly into the clouds.
Lin Jing and Xue Yilin did not fly, but walked up step by step like ordinary people.
This rule was set by Li Mingwu before.
Anyone who enters the Yuetian Palace is not allowed to fly or use magic.
Otherwise, it will be regarded as a provocation to the owner of Yuetian Island and will be killed on the spot.
Although the new island owner, Bai Yi, was replaced later, this rule remained unchanged.
The reason why Lin Jing knew all this was because Xue Yilin told him when they were chatting on the flying boat.
but.
Although the stairs are not short, it is not a difficult task for these monks.
Especially, Lin Jing is a body-refining cultivator, so it is easy for him to reach this level.
In this way, it took the two of them more than an hour to reach the top of the mountain.
On the top of the mountain is the majestic and magnificent Yuetian Palace.
After the two came up.
The gate of Yuetian Palace, which was more than ten feet high, slowly opened...
then.
A domineering voice came from Yuetian Palace:
"You are here, come in together!"
Chapter 193 The Purpose of Regional Division
Then, Lin Jing and Xue Yilin walked into the Yuetian Palace.
The interior of the Yuetian Palace is also very magnificent.
At the innermost of Yuetian Hall, there was a young man, about thirty years old, with a handsome face, standing there.
This person was actually amazing. His eyes were calm, and his gazes were like substance, looking at Lin Jing and the other person.
Lin Jing even had a feeling that he was seen through by this person.
At this time, Xue Yilin stepped forward, bowed to the man and said:
"Island owner..."
"This is Master Lin of Liyan Island."
At this time, Lin Jing also knew who the man in front of him was. He was the current owner of Yuetian Island, the Divine Transformation Monk Bai Yi.
Facing a Divine Transformation cultivator, Lin Jing did not dare to be arrogant, so he followed Xue Yilin and bowed to Bai Yi and said:
"My name is Lin Jing, nice to meet the White Island Master."
Bai Yi looked at the forest below, and then said with a smile:
"Master Lin is so polite."
"I have rashly invited Island Master Lin to come here without notifying him in advance. I hope you don't mind."
Lin Jing then spoke:
"Master Bai is joking..."
"Since Lord Bai has summoned me here, there must be something important."
Bai Yi nodded and said:
"good..."
"I came to you because I really need your help with something."
"Xue Yilin, tell him."
Xue Yilin nodded and said:
"Yes, island owner."
Then, Xue Yilin turned around and said to Lin Jing:
"Fellow Daoist Lin, we want you to use the Five Elements Magic to help us open a cave."
"Moreover, this cave is also related to the former owner of Yuetian Island, Li Mingwu."
"Li Mingwu?" Lin Jing asked doubtfully, and then said puzzledly:
"Didn't they say he had been missing for hundreds of years and was dead now?"
Xue Yilin shook his head and said:
"Before..."
"We really thought that Li Mingwu was dead."
"Fellow Daoist Lin has also heard about the Soul Devouring Blood Realm incident some time ago."
"There is a mysterious Divine Transformation cultivator who wants to use the Soul Devouring Blood Realm to refine a thousand Golden Core cultivators to help him break through the Divine Transformation and reach a realm above the Divine Transformation."
Lin Jing then looked at Xue Yilin and said:
"Fellow Daoist Xue, are you saying that the mysterious incarnation cultivator is Li Mingwu?"
Xue Yilin nodded and said:
"That's right, just as Fellow Daoist Lin thought, the mysterious monk is Li Mingwu."
Hearing Xue Yilin's affirmation.
Lin Jing was immediately shocked. He had never expected that the withered old man he had seen through the observation mode before was actually Li Mingwu.
This is also too incredible.
Lin Jing had previously made inquiries from various sources, and the information he received was that Li Mingwu disappeared when his life was almost over.
Now that hundreds of years have passed, I'm afraid it has long since turned into dry bones.
But I never thought that he was still alive.
Then, Lin Jing opened his mouth and asked Xue Yilin:
"Fellow Daoist Xue, has this been confirmed?"
Xue Yilin nodded and said:
"Master Bai has speculated that Li Mingwu may have taken the elixir of immortality, which is why he has not died after all these years."
"The elixir of immortality and longevity?" Lin Jing asked doubtfully, and then continued: "I have heard of the elixir of longevity, but I have never heard of the elixir of immortality and longevity."
Xue Yilin spoke:
"The Immortality and Longevity Pill is a recipe handed down from ancient times. It is a seventh-grade pill and is extremely rare. It is normal that Fellow Daoist Lin has never seen it."
"The effect of the Longevity Pill in increasing life span is ten times that of the Longevity Pill."
"It's just that the main ingredient of the immortality elixir is now almost extinct, and even the elixir formula is almost lost, so few people know about it."
"No wonder..." Lin Jing nodded.
...
"in addition..."
After explaining the longevity pill to Lin Jing, Xue Yilin continued:
"The reason why we are sure that the mysterious monk from the Soul Devouring Blood Realm is Li Mingwu is actually for another reason..."
As he spoke, Xue Yilin looked at Bai Yi...
Seeing this, Bai Yi took out an ancient leather scroll and threw it to Lin Jing.
"I found this leather scroll from the secret vault left by Li Mingwu. It records the evil ritual method. You can take a look..."
Lin Jing reached out to take the leather scroll that looked extremely ancient, then opened it and began to read it carefully.
...
...
After a while, Lin Jing raised his head and said in a daze:
"So that's how it is..."
The scroll contained the ritual method used by Li Mingwu in the Soul Devouring Blood Realm.
The golden elixirs of a thousand golden elixir cultivators were melted together to create a blood elixir. After taking this elixir, it can help people break through the spirit transformation and reach a realm above the spirit transformation.
As for what realm is above the Transformation of the Spirit, the scroll did not mention it.
then.
Lin Jing rolled up the scroll again and handed it to Bai Yi.
Bai Yi stretched out his hand, and the scroll flew back into Bai Yi's hand.
Then, Bai Yi continued:
"I learned from the monks who were tricked into the Soul Devouring Blood Realm that they had brought about a heavenly calamity in order to save themselves, thus destroying Li Mingwu's plan. Li Mingwu had been seriously injured in his attempt to stop the heavenly calamity."
"Although he once took the elixir of immortality, I estimate that the elixir was of top-grade quality at best. After so many years, I guess he is still exhausted."
"so..."
"Li Mingwu would have thought of using that evil ritual to try to break through the realm."
"Now that his plan has failed and he has been injured by the calamity, it will be extremely difficult for him to recover."
Having said this, Bai Yi paused for a moment, and then continued:
"As far as I know, Li Mingwu once found a cave hidden by an ancient great being in the Thousand Islands. There might be a way to heal injuries there. Li Mingwu is likely to go to that cave."
"To open that cave, we need someone who has practiced the Five Elements Kung Fu. That is why I asked Xue Yilin to invite you to open that cave."
After hearing this, Lin Jing asked:
"I wonder where that cave is?"
Bai Yi shook his head and said:
"I don't know..."
"The location of that cave is only known by Li Mingwu."
As soon as Bai Yi finished speaking, Xue Yilin spoke to Lin Jing:
"Fellow Daoist Lin, do you know why there is this regional power division conference?"
Lin Jing shook his head, and then said:
"Please help me, Mr. Xue..."
Xue Yilin nodded and said:
"The three islands are divided into regions in order to set up a surveillance array that can cover the entire Thousand Islands Region, and then monitor any abnormal behavior in the Thousand Islands Region."
"at the same time..."
"This is also to monitor Li Mingwu's actions."
"If Li Mingwu wants to open that cave, it will inevitably cause special spiritual power fluctuations. As long as there are special spiritual power fluctuations, it will naturally not escape the monitoring of the formation."
"Then, we will be able to find the cave through the formation."
"However, it costs a lot to build this large formation, and at each key point of the formation, at least one Nascent Soul cultivator is required to be in charge."
"That's why there is this regional power division conference."
