After nearly a year of understanding, Zhao Shoushou already had a basic understanding of the outer sea and sea beasts.
Through a series of battles with golden-armored crabs and manatee beasts, he also gained a real and effective control over his own combat power.
In this city, there is also a brand new concept of the basic purchase price of various sea beasts, which will be of great help to his next move.
All of the above have given him a lot of help. After some comparisons, the next sea monster target has been basically confirmed.
It was the water-spraying island that he had always been quite taboo on. This small spiritual island had spiritual springs on it and a variety of sea beasts.
Facing different sea beasts requires completely different ways of coping, which is a big improvement for the monks' adaptability.
Of course, the danger involved has also been greatly increased. There will be no less than fifty monks in the foundation-building stage who die on the Spraying Island every year.
What needs special attention is that there are often second-level mid-level sea beasts with powerful combat capabilities here, and they are the real killers.
Fortunately among the misfortunes, the area of Spray Island has almost reached the peak of small islands. If it were not restricted by the elixir and mineral veins, it would have become a well-known medium-sized island in the outer sea.
Zhao Shoushou could choose a relatively remote location and use monster luring grass to attract sea monsters. As long as he was not particularly unlucky and wanted to save his life, there would be no problem.
Even if you really encounter a second-level mid-level sea monster, with the help of fake talismans, protecting your own safety will not be a problem.
For most monks, encountering some pressure in battle is also a good opportunity, which can greatly assist in developing potential.
Even when many monks face a solid bottleneck, they will choose this method in an attempt to gain some understanding while wandering between life and death.
"The fourth level of foundation building, the middle stage of foundation building, one step away, a huge difference" Zhao Shoushou muttered like a monk.
In the world of cultivation, the status of monks in the Qi training stage and the foundation-building stage is very different, and the status of monks in different foundation-building stages is also obviously different.
Among all the monks in the foundation building stage, more than half are stuck in the early stage of foundation building due to various reasons and are unable to make any progress.
Once promoted to the middle stage of foundation building, a large part of them will be left behind, and they will be qualified to support a family or a small sect.
The later stage of foundation building means that you have the qualifications to attack the golden elixir stage. Regardless of whether you can succeed or not, this deterrent alone is enough.
Back in the secret realm of the mountains, Zhao Shoushou had obtained several treasures that were helpful for his cultivation advancement, but unfortunately all of them were used to assist in the attack on the later stages of foundation building.
At present, the only thing he has on him that can help him overcome the bottleneck in the middle stage of foundation building is a second-level low-grade Yuan Yuan Dan, which is also one of the treasures he got from selling the Golden Crab during this trip.
You can judge the effect of Yuanyuan Pill from its name. Taking it before officially hitting the bottleneck can compress the mana that is already at its peak level by one-third.
This extra mana can provide considerable help at critical moments when bottlenecks hit.
"I wonder, how much help can I give to Mr. Zhao?" Standing steadily on the wave breaker, his eyes emitted a light called hope.
Back then, I risked my life to rush into the foundation building period and moved forward step by step. Today I finally encountered the first real bottleneck.
Moreover, the difficulty of this bottleneck is completely different from before. Although it is already above the threshold, there is no certainty as to when it will be crossed.
There are very few spiritual pills or genius treasures that are helpful in breaking through bottlenecks. This only second-level low-grade Yuan Yuan Dan must be taken at a critical moment.
From the fake talisman to the Yuan Dan, it can be seen that these monks who usually operate in the outer sea are very capable.
Behind every shop there is a snob who cannot be underestimated to provide help, and some elixirs used to assist breakthroughs are not too difficult for them.
Of course, the premise of all this is that a sufficient quantity and quality of sea beast bodies can be provided, giving them a chance to earn enough spiritual stones.
It can be said that the small number of monks working in the outer seas almost supplies more than half of the materials for refining spiritual weapons in the overseas cultivation world.
The monks who work here would rather accept a level of exploitation, the most important of which is naturally being able to exchange for some rare but urgently needed treasures in the market according to a certain ratio.
In fact, from another aspect, these invisible hands of snobbery from all sides have effortlessly controlled a huge and stable financial source.
All they need to pay is some relatively precious treasures, which can be called a real profit.
Of course, the so-called preciousness here has its limits. Don't be so naive as to think that you can really exchange it for truly heaven-defying treasures, such as treasures that are helpful for condensing golden elixirs.
Seven days later, on a lush island full of spiritual energy, in a spiritual formation that contained the aura of nirvana, Zhao Shoushou used all his strength to use the Qi Ling Ling Jue, suppressing his own aura as much as possible and not daring to move at all.
Outside the spiritual formation, a black bear-like sea beast was devouring a strange fish covered with spikes.
Judging from the auras emitted, both sea beasts were in the second-level mid-level, but the black bear was obviously better and became the winner of enjoying the delicious food.
This spiritual island is the famous Spraying Island. Zhao Shoushou just arrived two days ago. After two days of busy work, various preparations were initially completed.
Just when he was confident enough to use the demon-luring grass to attract a nearby water monkey.
Suddenly, a second-level mid-level black bear appeared in front of the spiritual formation and was eating delicious food.
And judging from his aura, this big guy has obviously reached the peak level of the second-level mid-level. Even if he uses all his trump cards, he is still not something he can deal with.
Therefore, Zhao Shoushou decisively chose to stay in bed, hiding under the protection of the formation, and quietly waited for the black bear to leave after it had eaten and drank enough.
The sea beast, which was originally supposed to be particularly sensitive to the monk's aura, was not aware of the aura of Zhao Shoushou's presence either because it was focused on dealing with the delicious food in front of it or because of the dual effects of the formation and Qi Condensing Art.
In short, after two full hours, the huge monster fish was eaten clean and only a skeleton was left, and then it slowly walked back to the sea.
However, before the black bear left, he looked in the direction of the formation inexplicably and with deep meaning.
"Black bears have always been known for their stupidity. Why did this sea beast have a cunning flash in its eyes today?" A trace of doubt flashed in Zhao Shoushou's mind.
However, this is obviously not enough to stop him from hunting sea beasts. Even if he leaves and comes back, it is just one more battle.
Zhao Shoushou was just reluctant to sacrifice the fake talisman at the beginning. It wasn't that he didn't have any means to deal with the black bear.
"I wonder if the second-order red-eyed water monkey that was scared away is still lingering nearby?" Zhao Shoushou murmured to himself, obviously still very interested in this sea beast.
