Ever since the human race discovered the Sea of Ten Thousand Demons, they have been entangled with the demon tribe for millions of years. The Sea of Ten Thousand Demons has also become the focus of contention between the human race and the demon tribe.
For countless years, countless people have fallen into this endless sea, whether they are human monks or endless monster beasts.
Although the two have always been fighting each other, the methods used are completely different.
For a long time, the human race has been hunting various levels of monsters through means of "slicing steamed buns", trials, treasure hunts, obtaining weapon refining materials, etc.
In this way, he can push the sea area he controls bit by bit deeper into the Sea of Ten Thousand Demons.
As for the monster clan, it is very simple and crude. That is, every thousand years or so, a large-scale beast tide will erupt. In this level of beast tide, the sea areas occupied by the human race through accumulation will also be destroyed overnight.
Most of the time was lost.
If we don't do it right, we will go back to a thousand years ago in one day.
Of course, there are two reasons for the beast tide that are spread among many immortal cultivators. One is that the reproductive power of low-level monsters is very strong, and the probability that these low-level monsters can advance to high-level monsters is pitifully low.
In order to prevent the resources of the Sea of Ten Thousand Monsters from being depleted, the strong ones among the monsters resorted to the beast tide to clean up these low-level monsters and restore balance.
The other is that the monster race was pushed forward step by step by the human race and lost a vast sea area. In order to regain these lost territories, a beast tide was launched every thousand years or so to suppress humans and recover the lost territory.
But no matter what the reason is, for the human monks in the Eastern Territory, the beast tide that breaks out every thousand years has become an opportunity and a nightmare for countless people.
Tens of millions of mortals and immortal cultivators will perish in the beast tide, but after the beast tide, an astonishing number of high-level immortal cultivators are often born, which can be said to be a blessing and a misfortune.
Through the conversation with the Lord of Ziyang City, Xiao Lin's horizons were opened. For the lower-level immortal cultivators, they are more concerned about their own realm and how to obtain more resources for cultivating immortals.
But for a sea area manager like Lord Ziyang who controls the water palace of an immortal city, they have to analyze the general trend of the world of immortality. This is the so-called following the trend and seeking opportunities in danger.
Xiao Lin also learned about another perspective on the problem through communication. In the eyes of people like Ziyang City Lord, the beast tide is not a disaster for human monks, but in fact an opportunity for ordinary immortal cultivators.
After all, for the human race, the number of low-level immortal cultivators at the bottom is just like the low-level monster beasts. They are also very large in number, but there are only so many resources.
After countless years of development, the resources of the Sea of Ten Thousand Monsters have begun to show signs of depletion. In order to find more resources for cultivating immortals, we can only continue to open up new sea areas to the depths of the Sea of Ten Thousand Monsters.
And every beast tide is also a screening of low-level monks in the Eastern Realm of Immortal Cultivation. Those who have the opportunity can take advantage of this to soar into the sky, and maybe even enter the ranks of high-level immortal cultivators in one fell swoop.
Of course, people with shallow fortunes are likely to be reduced to ashes in the beast tide and become someone else's wedding dress.
The three of them really hit it off during this conversation, and they actually chatted all night long.
It wasn't until the early morning of the next day that the three of them ended their exchange, and the Lord of Ziyang City also extended an olive branch to Xiao Lin through the harmonious atmosphere and wanted to invite Xiao Lin to serve as the elder of the inner gate of Yushui Palace.
As long as Xiao Lin can agree, the Lord of Ziyang City frankly said that he can at least find a city lord job for him. He also bluntly said that the annual salary of the lord of a city in Yushui Palace is 10% of the tax revenue of the fairy city under his jurisdiction.
Basically, there are hundreds of medium or above fairy cities under the jurisdiction of the Water Royal Palace in the Eastern Territory. Even the worst fairy city's annual tax revenue is at least one million low-grade spiritual stones.
In other words, once Xiao Lin agrees to serve as the city lord, even if he does nothing, he will earn at least 100,000 low-grade spiritual stones every year.
This made Xiao Lin feel a little hot in his heart. As far as he knew, the annual benefits of the Jindan elders in Dancao Mountain were only 10,000 low-grade spiritual stones, and the inner disciples in the foundation building period were even more pitiful.
In comparison, the Yushui Palace is really wealthy. It is no wonder that the Yushui Palace is able to recruit so many Jindan elders. Thinking about the salary income alone, few people can refuse it.
However, Xiao Lin was not carried away by these spiritual stones. He knew very well that while he enjoyed the rights, he must also have corresponding obligations, and he had always been used to living alone.
If he was really bound to one place, he would be quite unaccustomed to it. Moreover, his current net worth does not lack spiritual stones. In comparison, freedom seems to be more important.
And he also understands that the Eastern Territory is not always peaceful. The Water Control Palace, the Six Paths Demon Palace and the Five Elements Alliance have formed a delicate balance in name. Once this balance is broken, it may explode immediately.
A large-scale war in the world of immortality.
When that time comes, these so-called Jindan elders will basically become cannon fodder in the war. Of course, this is also the reason why Water Control Palace raises so many elders in peacetime.
Therefore, after careful consideration, Xiao Lin neither explicitly refused nor agreed. He only said that he still needed to consider the matter carefully and would make a reply after he thought about it.
Seeing this, the Lord of Ziyang City began to admire Xiao Lin even more. If this person agreed immediately, he would doubt Xiao Lin's true ability. After all, the more capable a person is, the less likely he will be fooled by fame and wealth.
Seeing that the time was not short, the Lord of Ziyang City very wisely proposed to visit another day. Xiao Lin did not try to persuade him to stay, so after cherishing each other, the Lord of Ziyang City and Ji Wuchang left Qinghudao in the light of escape.
.
After the two left, Lehu also came to say hello. After congratulating Xiao Lin, he began to humbly ask Xiao Lin for advice on various problems encountered in cultivation.
Xiao Lin also patiently gave pointers one by one, making Lehu suddenly enlightened as if the clouds were clearing and the bottleneck he had been confused about for a long time was suddenly opened, making him feel that his magic power was flowing more and more smoothly.
The bottleneck in the middle stage of foundation building seemed to have been loosened a little, which made him overjoyed. In fact, in the decades of wandering around, Lehu had not made much progress in his cultivation.
But in this process, he saw all kinds of life, understood the importance of the nature of the mind, and restored his original intention. Perhaps in a sense, this is more important than practicing hard behind closed doors.
This also makes Lehu's mental attainments quite profound. In a sense, she even surpasses her current senior sister Jiang Yingxue.
Xiao Lin also saw this in the process of giving instructions, and was happy for him in his heart. It seemed that the registered disciple he had accepted was not inferior to Jiang Yingxue and Yuan Hong in terms of qualifications and understanding.
Xiao Lin accepted Jiang Yingxue, partly because he wanted to see if he could really avoid the detection of heaven in this reincarnation, and partly because of Jiang Yingxue's kindness to him.
Not only did he teach him the methods of superior formations, but he also obtained the cultivation techniques in the Qingluan Immortal Sutra, which allowed him to advance rapidly and give him full confidence in reaching the Nascent Soul realm one day in the future.
Therefore, accepting Jiang Yingxue as his disciple is more of a kind of repayment. As for Lehu, it is Xiao Lin's heartfelt praise for his character. In the intrigues, twists and turns of the world of immortality, it is a pure heart.
It is rare, even rarer than the number of Yuanying monks.
This is also the reason why Xiao Linlin accepts Lehu as a registered disciple. Of course, the same is true for Yuan Hong. When Xiao Lin looks at people, talent is not the most important thing. What matters most is character and persistence in the immortal way.
Although Yuan Hong was not as good as Le Hu in terms of character, his persistence in the path to immortality left a deep impression on Xiao Lin. It also reminded him of himself when he first entered the path of immortality.
Two hours later, Lehu left with satisfaction. He went straight back to his cave and continued to practice hard in seclusion.
Xiao Lin also opened the restrictions outside the cave again, planning to start the next step of his training plan.
In addition to the fixed four hours of meditation every day, Xiao Lin spent all the rest of his time on refining elixirs, refining weapons, and cultivating the soul-eating fire Gu.
In the battle with Tang Yu, Xiao Lin lost hundreds of true-level high-level soul-devouring fire Gu, which made him feel very distressed. Therefore, he decided to start cultivating tens of thousands of mortal-level soul-devouring fire poisons.
insanity.
In Xiao Lin's current beast ring, there are tens of thousands of true-level soul-devouring fire Gus inhabiting it, but more than 90% of them are true-level primary and intermediate levels, and only the number of true-level high-level ones is left.
A quantity less than one thousand.
After Xiao Lin thought about it, he also began to experiment.
The level of the beast ring is much higher than that of the spirit beast bag. When Xiao Lin used phantom crystals and asked people to make the beast ring, he specifically requested that the space in the beast ring be divided into nine pieces, each piece having a space of more than ten feet.
.
For Xiao Lin, these spaces are enough for him to carry out various experiments.
Xiao Lin first selected hundreds of the most powerful true-level high-level soul-devouring fire Gu, placed them in a separate space, and then put in dozens of red demon-transforming grasses.
The red demon-transforming grass, integrated into the demon-summoning beads, can attract a large number of true-level demonic beasts, and as Xiao Lin knows, this red demon-transforming grass plays a vital role in helping true-level demonic beasts break through their own levels.
Xiao Lin wanted to feed a large amount of red demon-transforming grass to see if he could make these true-level high-level soul-devouring fire poisons go one step further and advance to the level of Dzogchen.
Therefore, the red demon-transforming grass he cast has begun to show many purple spots, and it is only one step away from growing into purple demon-transforming grass.
Xiao Lin feeds the low- and middle-level true-level soul-devouring fire poison some ordinary red demon-transforming grass, and the quantity is much smaller. His purpose is to first raise these little guys to the true-level high-level, and then feed them
Determine the next feeding plan based on the results of the experiment.
As for the huge number of mortal-level soul-devouring fire Gu, Xiao Lin kept some as seed insects, while the rest continued to feed a large amount of first- and second-level spiritual grass to continue to increase the number of true-level soul-devouring fire Gu.
