"Ten spiritual stones, that's too little. Why don't you add more."

"These are just miscellaneous notes and essays without any substance. Besides, your ancestors have been dead for almost two hundred years. God knows if these records are still there, so this thing of yours is useless."

"But ten spiritual stones are too few, and I can't even afford a bottle of elixir. Do you think you can add more?"

"That's all, it's up to you whether you want to sell it or not."

…

As soon as Shen Ruiling walked to the front hall, she heard a burst of noise.

"What are you doing here?"

When the waiter saw Shen Ruiling coming over, he said with a flattering look on his face:

"This man came to the store to sell two ancient books. They were just miscellaneous notes without any substantive content. He thought ten spiritual stones were too few..."

Shen Ruiling looked at the man. He looked like he was in his forties or fifties, and his cultivation was only at the fifth level of Qi training. He was holding two ancient books in his arms, with a sad look on his face.

Seeing Shen Ruiling looking at him, the man hurriedly said:

"Steward, although these two books of mine are of no use to cultivation, they were also written by my ancestors in the Foundation Establishment Period. Please see if you can pay a higher price for them."

"Show me the book." Shen Ruiling said expressionlessly.

The man respectfully handed over two ancient books.

Shen Ruiling looked at the two books in his hand, one "Xiaoyezi's Travels" and one "Liangxi Notes". Both books were made of second-level monster skins, and the handwriting inside was very clear, not due to the age.

Faded over time.

Shen Ruiling looked at the book in his hand, took a look at the man's cultivation, and said:

"How about fifteen spiritual stones?"

"Fifteen yuan..." the man muttered quietly, as if he was thinking about something.

Seeing him like this, Shen Ruiling immediately returned the two books in his hands, turned around and wanted to leave.

Seeing this scene, the man immediately became anxious, ran up and grabbed Shen Ruiling and shouted:

"Sell! Sell!"

Shen Ruiling immediately stopped, took out fifteen low-grade spiritual stones from his storage bag and handed them over.

After receiving the fifteen crystal spiritual stones, the man looked as if he had found a treasure, hurriedly hid them in his sleeves, and left in a hurry.

The clerk next to him looked puzzled, wondering why he would spend so much money on useless books.

Shen Ruiling ignored the strange looks from the waiter next to him, put the two books in his sleeves, and walked towards the cave.

…

Back in the cave, Shen Ruiling did not immediately retreat to prepare to break through to the eighth level of Qi training. Instead, he took out the two books he had just collected.

These two books record some strange things that happened in the offshore waters. This is also the reason why Shen Ruiling spent a lot of money.

Shen Yucang came out of Qingyun Gate and founded the Shen family in Linhai County. The Shen family has always been an inland family, and the store in Hushangfang was only opened ten years ago. Therefore, the Shen family does not have much knowledge about the offshore area.

Secrets of the sea.

Family records are things that ordinary people know, and Shen Ruiling can recite them long ago. After buying these two books, Shen Ruiling wanted to learn more about them and have something to rely on when going out in the future.

This so-called "Travel Notes of Xiao Yezi" was originally written by a senior monk in the Foundation Establishment Stage two hundred years ago. This senior in the Foundation Establishment Stage was a mortal scholar. By chance, he embarked on the path of cultivation and became a Foundation Establishment Stage monk.

After this senior became a foundation-building monk, he felt that his cultivation was no longer improving, so he began to travel around the coastal waters.

I visited every island and recorded in detail the secrets and legends I learned during my travels. Then I called myself "Xiaoyezi" and wrote "Xiaoyezi's Travels".

Some of the above contents are Xiao Yezi's own experiences, and some are just hearsay, including mountains and rivers, geography, exotic flowers and plants, and rare and exotic animals. Some of them are even secret information that has never been spread to the outside world by the offshore cultivating family.

How did Xiao Yezi find out.

…

Five hundred miles north of Yazhou Island, there is a small island called Haimeng. The island is lush with trees and sparsely populated. There is a deep pool on the island, called Ertan. There are white fish in the pool, which are eaten by cultivators to replenish their spiritual power.

.

Then there is a fish pattern.

…

There is an island in the southeast, shaped like a crescent moon. There is a peach tree on the island, which bears fruit once every hundred years. It is shaped like a baby. Eating it has the effect of washing the marrow and cutting the menstruation.

…

To the southwest of Yizhou Island, there is a ditch hundreds of miles under the sea. There is grass in the ditch, which is called divine consciousness grass. Supplemented by soul-nourishing flowers, it can be refined into elixirs, which can suddenly cultivate spiritual consciousness.

…

It is said that there are three fairy islands overseas, Penglai, Fangzhang and Dongying.

Penglai, also known as Penglai Mountain, Penglai Hu, Penglai Qiu. It is surrounded by a black sea of ​​underworld, which cannot be crossed except by golden elixir.

Abbot is also called Abbot Mountain. Legend has it that an ancestor of monks became immortals here. This person was named Abbot, so it is called Abbot Island.

Yingzhou is said to be 70,000 miles away from Linhai County, with a radius of 4,000 miles, and there are sacred mushrooms and celestial beings. There is a jade mountain thousands of feet high, called Qingyu Gao Mountain, and there is a spring in the mountain called Yuli Spring, and the spring water is like wine.

, it tastes sweet, and you will get drunk after drinking a few liters of it. It can increase the life of a monk by ten years.

I have longed for these three fairy islands for a long time, but my cultivation is simple, and the boundless sea cannot be crossed. It's a pity, it's a pity...

At the end of the travel note, Xiaoyezi's yearning for the three fairy islands was left. Shen Ruiling also saw descriptions of overseas fairy islands in his family's collection of books.

Each fairy island is extremely large, and the level of cultivation far exceeds that of the Lingnan area. There are even Nascent Soul Stage monks on the islands. These three islands are the holy places for cultivation in the hearts of Lingnan people, but there is no golden elixir stage to cross the boundless sea to reach the fairy island.

Cultivation is impossible. Whether it is the natural dangers outside the fairy island or the fourth-level monsters in the boundless sea, people can die violently.

Shen Ruiling has already had the idea of ​​longing for it in his heart. Although he is only a Qi training monk now, he believes that one day he will be able to do it.

Shen Ruiling closed the book and was filled with emotions. Suddenly he found that the last page of the ancient book was different. It actually showed a trace of the fluctuation of third-level spiritual objects. If Shen Ruiling hadn't made alchemy and his spiritual consciousness was much higher than that of monks of the same level, he would not have been able to notice it.

.

Shen Ruiling opened the page, and a yellowed torn piece of paper was revealed. This page was actually made of the skin of a third-order monster animal.

Shen Ruiling couldn't wait to take it out, and there were ancient texts on it. Shen Ruiling had been taught various knowledge by the clan elders since he was a child, including the teachings on ancient texts.

Generally, the children of the family will learn ancient characters in order not to miss the opportunity when they go out in the future. Ordinary casual cultivators are not so lucky. They don't recognize them when they see them, so they miss the opportunity in vain. This is also one of the advantages of the family monks.

Shen Ruiling took a look and saw that this was actually a wine making recipe.

"Soak rice for three days, like boiling fish-eye soup, sour rice. The rice is extremely fine. Wash the rice twenty times. If the rice is washed and the water in the cooking pot is washed with wine, it is best to use river water.

.The wine is made, mixed with snake gallbladder, and sealed for three months to drink..."

Shen Ruiling remembered that the gallbladder of the colorful sea snake he had taken last time had not been used yet, so he took out the gallbladder from the storage jade box. He saw that the surface of the gallbladder was smooth, the biliary pedicle was slightly flat and elongated, and the bile duct was close to the gallbladder wall.

The way it is picked out.

According to the brewing recipe, this wine has the effect of dispelling wind, activating the meridians, and reshaping Qi and blood. It also has the effect of sharpening the meridians, which can make the meridians thicker and tougher, so that more spiritual energy can be circulated during each practice, and the speed of practice is also improved.

Can be accelerated.

This kind of spiritual wine already has the effect of the third-level active elixir, although it may only have a small effect. But not everyone can afford the third-level elixir. Now that there are cheaper alternatives, they will definitely be more willing to use it.

However, ancient books recorded the snake gallbladders of third-level snake monsters, and Shen Ruiling only had a pair of second-level high-grade snake gallbladders. He didn't know how effective it was. Anyway, he discovered it by chance, and Shen Ruiling was ready to give it a try.

He didn't know why no one noticed it. As a result, he got an advantage because no one was willing to look through this miscellany carefully.

Shen Ruiling thought:

"If it's useful, I'm going to give it to the family and let it become a source of income for the family. You can earn hundreds of spiritual stones a year from selling wine."

Shen Ruiling didn't start by making wine. He directly bought a jar of aged spiritual wine, opened the seal, and a strong aroma of wine came out, making people immersed in the feeling of wine. But in addition to replenishing a little spiritual energy, this kind of wine can also

It can only satisfy the monk's appetite.

Shen Ruiling soaked the snake gall in it and put in a series of elixirs. Each elixir was of the second-level and top grade. These elixirs had used up Shen Ruiling's few spiritual stones. Now Shen Ruiling had only a few magical elixirs.

There are only a few bottles of elixir left.

After putting everything in, re-seal the spiritual mud and place it in a corner of the cave. You will know if it has any effect after three months.

Another day has passed since Shen Ruiling finished these things. He took out three beast eggs and used his own spiritual power to warm them. This is Shen Ruiling's daily task. Because there is no spiritual power to warm and nourish them for a long time, these three beast eggs may die.

.

Shen Ruiling felt that the vitality of these three beast eggs was getting stronger and stronger, and thought to himself:

"We have to go back to the family to find the method of controlling the beast before the beast egg hatches."

After warming up the beast eggs, Shen Ruiling began to practice. With the operation of "Qingyun Jue", the spiritual energy in the cave also became active. Shen Ruiling was going to rest for a night. When his cultivation reached its peak tomorrow morning, he took the barrier-breaking pill, and in one fell swoop
Chapter completed!
