Hearing this, Xiao Lin finally understood that this method of exchanging soul cards filled with monster souls in exchange for caves was actually a way to encourage immortal cultivators to kill as many monsters as possible.
Of course, he sneered at what the beautiful woman said about the good intentions of the Water Control Palace. He thought that opening up territories for the human race was just a perfunctory statement. The real purpose of the Water Control Palace was naturally to expand itself.
Controlled sea area.
In addition, through this method, more immortal cultivators will be attracted to the Thunder Stone Immortal City, and through the Thunder Stone Immortal City, they can go to the depths of the sea outside the Ten Thousand Demons to experience and kill the monsters. As the number of immortal cultivators increases, it will naturally bring about the Thunder Stone Immortal City.
With the prosperity, the tax revenue alone would probably make the senior officials of Yushui Palace smile with joy.
However, Xiao Lin really admired the Yushui Palace's method of attracting people's hearts. Thinking that he was planning to go to the sea of ten thousand demons for a trial, he had no choice but to take on this task. Even if he could not complete it, it would only be ten years after the expiration of the task.
Just make up for the previous discount.
Thinking of this, Xiao Lin naturally chose the second method. After receiving a crystal clear green token from the hand of a beautiful woman, Xiao Lin also chose a somewhat remote island as his training place.
.
After paying 18,000 low-grade spiritual stones, the beautiful woman gave Xiao Lin a silver token. Only with this silver token can one pass the restrictions on the island.
After completing the formalities, Xiao Lin took Jiang Yingxue and left "Xianfuju" and walked towards the outside of Leishixian City.
Xiao Lin did not stay longer in Leishixian City, but quickly left the city gate with Jiang Yingxue. Xiao Lin wrapped Jiang Yingxue in the escaping light and flew towards the northeast.
After drinking some tea, Xiao Lin looked at an island in the distance with a smile on his face. He pressed the escape light and landed directly in front of a pier on the island.
On these islands, there are small towns with mortals. Although the island Xiao Lin chose is a bit remote, it is also home to a large town with two to three hundred households and nearly a thousand people.
As soon as Xiao Lin landed on the pier, five or six strong men surrounded an old man in his fifties and hurriedly walked towards Xiao Lin.
Xiao Lin glanced at a few people with his spiritual mind and realized that these people were ordinary mortals. Several of the strong men were body refiners who had practiced body refining, but they were all the first level body refiners.
It might be okay to deal with ordinary low-level mortal level and mid-level monsters.
But if they encounter high-level mortal monsters or above, these people will be in great danger.
"Chen Pengnian, the mayor of Qianhu Town in Qinghudao, pays homage to the immortal master." Before Xiao Lin could say anything, the old man and several strong men took the lead in bowing to Xiao Lin.
"Is the immortal master going to practice on Qinghu Island?" The old man said again after paying his respects.
At this time, Xiao Lin also noticed that this island was really like a green gourd, thin in the middle and thick on both sides, and the thick sides were also different, one large and one small, corresponding to the two connected peaks.
"I have rented the cave here and will practice here for a while." Xiao Lin nodded and said lightly.
"In this case, the old man will tell the residents of the town that they will never enter Calabash Mountain and disturb the immortal master's Qingxiu." After hearing this, Chen Pengnian's old face actually showed a bit of joy.
Seeing the old man's expression, Xiao Lin naturally knew what he was thinking. The outer sea of ten thousand monsters was several times more dangerous than the inland sea. Especially for mortals like them who lived in the outer sea, they were always faced with the monsters in the sea.
The threat of beasts.
Although there is a spiritual restriction guarded by Thunder Stone Immortal City on Qinghu Island, it is only powerful against those monsters above the true level. However, for a large number of low-level monsters, Thunder Stone Immortal City's restrictions are not enough.
It cannot be cut off one by one.
Therefore, almost every year, some low-level monsters would flow to the nearby islands, rush into mortal villages and towns, and devour them mortals.
The body refiners in the town are all at the elementary level. They can deal with a small number of elementary-level and intermediate-level monsters, but if they encounter a large number of low-level monsters or monsters above the mortal level,
, then it is highly likely that the body refiner will die.
But if there are immortal masters on the island, it will be different. Normally, the immortal masters will not care about the life and death of mortals, but if the villagers in the town offer some spiritual stones every year, these immortal masters will probably be willing to protect them.
of.
Moreover, immortal masters have a long lifespan. As long as they live on the island, they usually live for more than ten years or even decades. For them, they can enjoy a long and peaceful life.
"The little old man has a cruel request, and I hope the immortal master can agree to it?" After promising to restrain the mortals in the town not to disturb Xiao Lin, the old man immediately spoke out his request.
Xiao Lin was naturally able to guess the answer. He smiled warmly and said, "Mayor, please tell me."
After a slight hesitation, Chen Pengnian said: "Although we in Qianhu Town have trained more than a dozen body refiners, we can still deal with a small number of ordinary-level primary and intermediate-level monsters, but if we encounter
Higher-level monsters will cause many casualties, so the little old man implores the immortal master to provide some protection within the scope of his ability when our Qianhu Town is attacked by monsters. Of course,
We in Qianhu Town present five hundred low-grade spiritual stones every year to honor the immortal master."
Xiao Lin heard that the secret passage was indeed what he thought. He had also encountered such a scene when he first came to the Eastern Territory.
If there were no soul-devouring fire Gu in captivity, Xiao Lin might not necessarily agree. After all, once she went to sea to practice and left Jiang Yingxue alone, she would not be able to deal with those monsters.
However, with the Soul-Eating Fire Gu, as long as there are no emperor-level monsters, the Soul-Eating Fire Gu can basically easily kill them, and within a thousand miles of Thunder Stone Fairy City, it is almost impossible for an emperor-level monster to appear.
Thinking of this, Xiao Lin naturally agreed readily, and the mayor also wisely chose to leave after thanking him profusely.
After the mayor and others left, a dark green light emerged from Xiao Lin's body and flew towards the back mountain with Jiang Yingxue.
After flying for twenty or thirty miles, the two came to the foot of a mountain. In front of them was a mountain peak hundreds of feet high. Most of the mountain top was covered with dark brown rocks, and the rest was covered with lush flowers, plants and trees.
covered.
Looking at the small forest shrouded in white mist in front of him, Xiao Lin smiled slightly and took out the silver token. The moment he took out the token, the woods in front of them immediately disappeared without a trace, and the white mist also dissipated.
, revealing an open space enclosed by a fence.
At the end of the clearing, near the foot of the mountain, there is a dark cave against the rock wall.
Four ancient seal characters "Qinghu Cave Mansion" are engraved on the top of the cave.
Xiao Lin's spiritual thoughts penetrated deeply into the cave, and he could clearly feel the entire cave in an instant. The cave was more than twenty feet deep, and it was divided into a small living room, a training room, a rest room, and a training room.
The interior of the utensil room is simple and tidy, and it also exudes a faint fragrance of dragon tongue.
Xiao Lin has also seen this kind of spice. Some female monks like to place a piece of dragon tongue incense in their caves to drive away poisonous insects and keep the caves dry.
As a male cultivator, Xiao Lin never cared about this, but after thinking about it for a while, he found that this ready-made cave was really suitable for Jiang Yingxue.
"Yingxue."
"Master." Hearing Xiao Lin calling him, Jiang Yingxue quickly withdrew her eyes that were looking around and trotted to Xiao Lin.
"From today on, this cave is yours. You must work hard and never slack off." Xiao Lin pointed at the cave in front of him and said.
"What about you, master?"
"I'm going to open another cave over there for my master. During this period, my master will go to Thunder Stone Immortal City to have a look. You can study hard in the cave. If you don't understand anything, you can come to me at any time as long as your master comes back."
Be a teacher."
After saying that, Xiao Lin walked towards a stone forest nearby. After passing through the stone forest of more than ten feet, Xiao Lin found that behind the stone forest was a small valley dozens of feet in size. At the end of the valley, there were two towering ancient trees.
One plant is as thick as several people's arms.
Not far between the two ancient trees, there was also a cave. However, after Xiao Lin's spiritual exploration, he discovered that this cave was only a few feet deep and was filled with withered grass and feathers.
Xiao Lin glanced at the location where a piece of bark had been worn off on the trunk of one of the ancient trees, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
The emotions here are where the captive spiritual beasts of the previous cultivator were.
Now that the man has left, the spirit beast has naturally followed him away, leaving this cave behind.
The location of this cave is good, and it is suitable for opening a cave for yourself. Thinking of this, Xiao Lin opened his mouth slightly, and shot out a Qingluan Ice Sword, and then turned into a dark green sword energy that was about ten feet long, and shot into the cave.
...
After spending most of the day, Xiao Lin took back the Qingluan Ice Sword with satisfaction. The original cave was enlarged a lot, and of course the more important thing was the inside.
Within tens of feet of the cave, Xiao Lin opened up five stone chambers. These five stone chambers are connected to each other by portals, and these five stone chambers are intended by Xiao Lin to be used for cultivation, rest, elixir refining, and refining.
utensils and for raising spiritual animals.
After entering the cave, Xiao Lin looked around and had a look of satisfaction on his face. However, when he entered the spirit beast room, his face showed a look of surprise.
It turned out that a faint white mist filled the spirit beast room, and after feeling that the white mist turned out to be condensed spiritual energy, Xiao Lin first pondered, and then showed an expression of joy on his face.
He carefully searched and surveyed around the spirit beast room. After half an hour, Xiao Lin stopped in a corner of the spirit beast room. After a moment of reflection, he opened his mouth and spit out the Qingluan Ice Sword, pointing it in front of him.
