Since Zhao Shoushou chose to travel millions of miles to the overseas cultivation world to find opportunities to break bottlenecks and improve his cultivation, he was naturally mentally prepared for this, but he needed to be fully prepared before the official departure.
He is not afraid of danger, nor is he afraid of fighting monsters, nor is he afraid of death, but he does not want to face danger and death in a hot-headed manner without any preparation. Preparation and bravery are not contradictory, and they complement each other.
.
Zhao Shoushou did not leave in a hurry like the others. Instead, he patiently stayed on the barren Red Fish Island to rest for half a month, and even became the only foundation-building monk on the island for a while.
It has even attracted the support of the patriarch of the contemporary family that controls Red Fish Island in the Qi Refining Stage, in an attempt to obtain the blessing of a Foundation Establishment Stage monk, which will increase their safety several times.
It's a pity that his wishful thinking is destined to fail. If he is greedy for comfort and enjoyment, wouldn't it be better to have a desert oasis with a first-class high-grade spiritual vein?
After a period of understanding, Zhao Shoushou basically had a basic understanding of some common sense in the overseas cultivation world. All islands in the inland sea can basically be divided into micro islands, small islands, medium-sized islands, large islands, and giant islands.
In addition to area, the classification of islands is closely related to spiritual veins, mineral deposits and even the monsters around the island. Of course, area is the most basic value.
Those with an area within a hundred miles in radius and possessing first-level, middle- and lower-grade spiritual veins are divided into micro-islands. Red Fish Island is exactly a micro-island; those with an area within a hundred miles to three hundred miles in radius and possessing first-order high-grade spiritual veins are divided into micro-islands.
Divided into small islands.
Covering an area ranging from three hundred to a thousand miles in radius, it has at least one stable second-order mid-grade spiritual vein, and a second-order mineral vein that can be called a medium-sized island. This is already a foundation-building family or family overseas.
The sphere of influence of the sect.
As for large islands, in addition to having an area of more than two thousand miles, possessing third-level low-grade spiritual veins, and possessing at least one third-order low-grade spiritual mine, and more than three second-order spiritual mines, these are just some basic conditions. Those who can occupy large islands must have at least
More than three golden elixir stage ancestors and a stable golden elixir inheritance.
As for the conditions for giant islands, they are even more stringent. Even some ordinary jade slips do not have too detailed descriptions. It only shows that the only three giant islands in the inland sea currently have Yuan Ying period ancestors sitting there, which can be called the inland sea.
The core is also the most prosperous place.
Unfortunately, the three giant islands are located in a triangular shape at the core of the inland sea. They are quite far away from Red Fish Island, and there is almost an obvious conflict with his next step. There will be no way to go there for a while.
"Qingyun Island, Qingyun Gate, is a small island. There is a late-stage foundation-building monk sitting inside the gate. It can be regarded as the most suitable place within a radius of three thousand nautical miles." Zhao Shoushou murmured to himself.
Half a day later, a stream of light flashed by. After a detailed comparison, he finally selected a definite target and headed in the direction of Qingyun Island.
Basically, the sea channel between Red Fish Island and Qingyun Island has been opened. Every once in a while, the two sides will clean up some monsters entrenched in the sea channel according to the division of responsibilities.
These sea lanes are also the basic roads between various islands in the inland sea. As long as you follow the order, you can reach 3,000 nautical miles and half a day.
Of course, this does not mean that there are no risks on the sea channel. Occasionally, there will be some powerful monsters entrenched on it.
He is very interested in the overseas monster Zhao Shoushou, and even wants to meet one halfway on the road and have a battle to compare the difference with the monsters in the mainland cultivation world.
This goal was obviously not achieved until half a day later, an island full of lush greenery and life appeared in front of us. It was the destination of this trip, Qingyun Island, and the location of Qingyun Gate.
The most eye-catching thing here is the large number of spiritual ships at the dock. The main task of these fleets is to transport large quantities of necessities and earn price differences between different islands.
Compared with the so-called spiritual ships used specifically for traveling in the mainland cultivation world, these ships are obviously fundamentally different. Maybe they are not very fast, but they have good defense capabilities and some basic counterattack capabilities, and even some formations.
The layout of the law is also essential.
An inconspicuous spiritual ship needs to be staffed by suitable monks, which is basically equivalent to the level of a foundation-building monk. If a team of ten or more spiritual ships can work closely together, it is not impossible to fight against the golden elixir-level monks.
The self-protection capabilities of these spirit ships are quite strong. In the overseas cultivation world, in addition to these spirit ships that are mainly used for transportation, there are also some spirit ships that are specially responsible for combat and reconnaissance. Their elusiveness cannot be underestimated.
"These spiritual ships are quite exquisite. I will need to equip one when traveling overseas in the future, but I don't know the price?" Zhao Shoushou murmured to himself with his eyes shining.
Another purpose of coming to Qingyun Island this time is to sell the thousands of pounds of second-grade low-grade pearl spiritual rice purchased on Ganghwa Island before the departure of the cloud ship, in exchange for some spiritual stones.
According to his plan, he completed the preparations and headed to the open sea, which would take anywhere from three to five years to more than ten years. The price of this batch of spiritual rice was related to whether he could purchase enough consumable materials in the future.
In addition to looking for opportunities, the purpose of going to the outer sea is to hunt monster beasts. Almost all the elixirs in the overseas cultivation world are refined with monster beasts and demon elixirs as the main materials.
All demonic beasts will form a demonic elixir in their mind as long as they advance to the second level. This small demonic elixir almost condenses the essence of the demonic beast.
Even these demon pills can be used as spiritual stones for refining. In short, they have many functions and are also indispensable treasures in the cultivation process of many overseas monks.
Qingyun Island is the only small island within a radius of 3,000 nautical miles, so it naturally deserves its central position. The monks coming and going are quite lively, and the more than 100 shops are typical representatives of a small but well-equipped island.
The store Zhao Shoushou chose was Qingyun Pavilion located in the center. It should have been opened by the local overlord Qingyun Sect. The people coming and going constantly are the best representatives of the remaining stores.
"Welcome to Qingyun Pavilion, senior. I wonder what you need, senior?" A monk who looked like a young boy came up to greet him.
"Can your pavilion purchase spiritual rice? Sell the second-level spiritual elixir? Or would it be more appropriate to ask the shopkeeper to come out and discuss it?" Zhao Shoushou got straight to the point.
"Senior, please follow me to the second floor." The young man is also a smart person and has already moved forward as soon as he finished speaking.
In a room on the second floor specially designed for secret transactions, Zhao Shoushou was enjoying a cup of fragrant spiritual tea while waiting for the person in charge to appear.
"Fellow Taoist, I've been waiting for a long time. I wonder what kind of spiritual rice you are selling? How much is the quantity?" About a quarter of an hour later, a monk with white hair and beard finally appeared. He should also be the person in charge of this transaction, but I don't know the authority.
How many are there and whether everything can be completed smoothly.
