Dozens of Zhenyuan monks in black and blue shirts stood respectfully outside, looking almost in reverence at a young monk in white clothes who came from inside.
The green-robed monks all looked gray at this moment, and they had completely lost the courage to question.
Seven days ago, they saw with their own eyes that Yuwen Zhouyuan entered the alchemy room on the main peak with ten pieces of sixth-level elixir and ten pieces of seventh-level elixir, with nothing on him.
When he came out, Yuwen Zhouyuan took out eight small porcelain bottles of the sixth-level "Zhengyuan Dan" and three small porcelain bottles of the seventh-level "Marrow Yuan Dan".
The facts before them made it impossible for them to say anything against it. They had strongly questioned Yuwen Zhouyuan's alchemy skills, and they did not dare to have any objections at this time.
The two true master monks, Master Gaoda and Master Mengxiao, no longer doubted Yuwen Zhouyuan's alchemy skills, and directly announced that Yuwen Zhouyuan would be the chief alchemist of the two islands.
"Master Gao, if you want me to make alchemy, you can, but I have a few small conditions. I like to be quiet when making alchemy and cannot be disturbed by any interference, so I need a separate and secluded cave as a place for alchemy. I hope that no one else on the island can
Monks, please don't break in without permission. Secondly, I also need an alchemy boy as an assistant. Give the elixir materials to the boy, and he will hand them over to me. After I refine the elixir, the boy will directly deliver it to the two ancestors. Again
, I only refine the elixir for the two island masters. The other monks on the island need elixirs, so I’m sorry that I can’t do anything about it. Last but not least, sometimes I need to go out to find elixirs and go to sea to hunt sea beasts. I hope the two island masters will not
Send someone to interfere with my actions. As long as these points are agreed, I am willing to serve the two island owners." After Yuwen Zhouyuan handed these bottles of elixir to the island owner Gao Da, he did not immediately agree to take over as the chief alchemist, but instead mentioned
Made several requests.
These are all very small requests and very reasonable, so Island Master Gao and Island Master Meng will certainly grant them.
As a result, Yuwen Zhouyuan officially became the chief alchemist of the Emerald Islands.
The owner of Gaoda Island personally selected a cave with rich spiritual energy on a peak on the Great Emerald Island and gave it to Yuwen Zhouyuan to live in.
Moreover, Yuwen Zhouyuan only needs to refine a seventh-level elixir for each of the two island owners every month, and does not need to refine elixirs for other monks.
After Yuwen Zhouyuan became the chief alchemist of the Emerald Islands, he rarely left his cave and lived a life of seclusion and cultivation in isolation from the world.
Even if he went out occasionally, he would always go out at dawn or at night when there were fewer people, and he rarely interacted with other monks.
It soon fell into silence and was gradually forgotten by the ordinary monks on the island. The addition of a chief alchemist did not bring any obvious changes to the Emerald Island.
Time on the island passed very quickly, and more than half a year passed in a blink of an eye.
At dawn that day, a young monk dressed in white and wearing a seven-layer real body flew over from the main peak of the Great Emerald Island and appeared at the ferry on the small island.
A honest man at the ninth level of the Qi stage quickly stood up to say hello and looked at some Yuwen Zhouyuan with confusion. He seemed to have never seen Yuwen Zhouyuan and had no impression of him.
"Are you the ship owner?" Yuwen Zhouyuan asked.
"Senior, is there something wrong? The young one is the captain." The big man said.
"I heard from one of my brothers that the boatmen here are very familiar with the waters around the Emerald Island. They know when and where sea monsters will appear, where they are dangerous and where they are safe. I want to hire your boat and go out to sea to find them.
Sea beast. I wonder if your ship is inconvenient right now." Yuwen Zhouyuan nodded and said softly.
"It's very convenient and the boat can be sailed right away. My family has lived on this island for generations, and I have been operating a boat for forty or fifty years. I go out to sea every day and know the conditions of the sea area around the island very well. The price is not expensive, it only costs ten dollars."
A piece of low-grade spiritual stone will do. I wonder what kind of sea beast your senior wants to hunt?" The honest man laughed, and set sail with several other Zhenqi stage monks.
"Oh, naturally the more sea beasts there are, the better. Let's go around the island first. You can introduce a few places and I will pick one." Yuwen Zhouyuan stood on the bow of the ship and looked at the vast sea area around the island.
.
"Senior, in the hundreds of miles of sea near Emerald Island, there are hundreds of places where sea beasts often hang out, but there are not many places suitable for hunting. If you want to hunt sea beasts at sea, you'd better find a place
Reefs. However, these reefs around the Emerald Island almost all have owners, and there are real monks guarding the rocks to hunt the sea beasts around the rocks." The honest man introduced in detail while steering the boat.
"Oh, is there such a thing? Wouldn't it be impossible for the Zhenyuan monks without rocks to hunt sea beasts?" Yuwen Zhouyuan couldn't help but frowned and asked in confusion.
"That's not true. Seniors can rent it from the owner of the reef. After all, you can't stay on the reef for a long time, and their owner can't be on the reef all day long. You just need to pay some spiritual stones and borrow the reef.
." said the honest man.
"Near the Emerald Island, which reef has the most sea beasts?"
"That must be the Calabash Rock. This reef is more than seventy miles away from the Little Emerald Island and has a radius of one hundred and twenty feet. It is shaped like a gourd and has the most sea beasts around it." The man said casually.
"Then let's go to Huluyan." Yuwen Zhouyuan said.
"You can't go. That's the reef belonging to Brother Leng Tianlei, the proud disciple of Lord Gao Da. He often hunts sea beasts there. On this Emerald Island, no one dares to compete with him for that rock. Except for Brother Leng who uses it for himself,
Occasionally, even the tall island owner will go there to hunt sea beasts, so other monks can't even rent." The honest man was stunned for a moment, almost thinking that he heard wrong, and hurriedly dissuaded him.
He has lived on the small Emerald Island for decades, but he is very aware of Brother Leng's temper. If anyone messes with him, there will be no good consequences.
"It doesn't matter, you take me over and have a look." Yuwen Zhouyuan said softly.
Regarding Yuwen Zhouyuan's insistence, the man tried to persuade him in vain. He had no choice but to sail to Huluyan. But the man complained in his heart that if he couldn't borrow the reef later, he would have to go to other places. Why bother.
More than two hours later, Yuwen Zhouyuan took a small sailboat and arrived near a large reef. The reef was indeed very large, shaped like a gourd, and there was a medium-sized formation flag at the four corners of the reef.
A middle-aged monk in blue is sitting cross-legged in the middle of the reef with his eyes closed. He seems to be concentrating on something. Next to him stands a top-level flying sword, hovering in mid-air, blooming.
Several feet are covered with golden light.
He has been sitting here for more than two hours.
Suddenly, the middle-aged monk's brows trembled, he held the spell in his hand, waved two fingers of his right hand, and then the golden flying sword moved and turned into a ray of light, shooting into the sea water dozens of feet to the west of the reef.
The sea water surged rapidly.
"Pfft!" After a moment, a stream of blood burst out of the sea, dyeing a large area of the sea red.
The middle-aged monk in blue moved his fingers, and a golden sword light rushed out from the sea. There was also a long and flat sea beast stabbed on the sword.
On the reef.
The middle-aged monk in blue didn't pay attention to the sea fish. He opened his eyes and looked sharply at the slowly approaching small sailboat.
Everyone knows that this Calabash Rock is Leng Tianlei's reef, so very few other monks dare to come here to borrow the rock. Even if someone is rash, he will send them away.
Yuwen Zhouyuan stood on the bow of the ship, raised his hands to the middle-aged monk in blue on the reef, and said with a smile: "This must be Brother Leng. I want to rent Brother Leng's reef. I wonder if Brother Han can make it easier?"
"I don't want to borrow this reef. You can choose another place to hunt sea beasts." The monk in blue refused without thinking.
However, he suddenly felt that the white-clothed monk in front of him was a little familiar. He remembered something. More than half a year ago, he had personally seen Yuwen Zhouyuan in the Jade Hall. Because of his amazing alchemy skills, he was hired by the two island owners as his assistant.
The chief alchemist specializes in refining high-level elixirs for the two island owners.
But later on, Yu Wen Zhouyuan remained in seclusion and he never saw him again, so he gradually forgot about it.
"You are Brother Yuwen, I am disrespectful and disrespectful!" The monk in blue suddenly showed a shocked expression, and even stopped sitting. He quickly stood up from the rock and walked up to meet him quickly, saying with a smile on his face.
"How come Brother Yuwen has time to come to this sea to hunt sea beasts? Brother Wei has been here for several days and is already exhausted. Since Brother Yuwen wants to lend me the reef, it's natural. Well, Brother Wei has collected it over the years.
I have several elixirs, but I have been struggling to find a suitable alchemist to refine them. I wonder if Brother Yuwen is free recently?"
"Thank you, Brother Leng. Reciprocity is natural. When I go back, I will help Brother Leng take a look at the elixirs. There is also a small bottle of elixirs and a few Peiyuan Pills here as the cost of renting the reef." Yu Wenzhou
Yuan smiled, took a small bottle of elixir, and stuffed it into Leng Tianlei's hand.
"You're welcome as a brother." Leng Tianlei didn't back down and accepted with a smile.
The honest man in the small sailboat and several other crew members were all staring at Yuwen Zhouyuan and Leng Tianlei with dumbfounded eyes.
With just one word, the white-clothed monk asked the proud disciple of the tall island owner to lend him the gourd rock.
This is almost unheard of on the Emerald Isle.
"Brother Yuwen, the sea beasts near Calabash Rock are very fierce. Don't look at it. Most of these sea beasts are only second or third level, and their levels are very low. But every time they appear, they range from dozens to hundreds. We can't
It is easy to provoke. Therefore, if you want to hunt sea beasts, it is best to attack lone sea beasts, otherwise they will attract the siege of sea beasts. Even high-level true monks will not be able to defeat these sea beasts. Instead, they will become the prey of monster attacks." Leng.
After Tianlei collected a small bottle of elixir from Yuwen Zhouyuan, he took off his golden sword weapon from a long and flat sea beast, put the sea beast into his storage bag, and said to Yuwen Zhouyuan.
Yuwen Zhouyuan stepped off the sailboat and saw clearly that Leng Tianlei had hunted and killed an unknown third-level sea beast.
"There are formation flags all around the Calabash Rock, and they are also lent to Brother Ye for use. As long as you stay in this formation, you can avoid being discovered by groups of monsters." Leng Tianlei explained simply.
After a while, Yu Jian returned to the Little Emerald Island.
The small sailboat also left Calabash Rock together.
