Chapter 354: The long-buried dream of fish farming
The six miniature spiritual islands belonging to Hulululing Island basically present a two-level distribution. One is Henglian Island, Hengshan Island, and Hengyu Island are located in the inner ring. Each spiritual island has a team of ten people.
The island protection team composed of monks in the Qi Refining Stage are all within a hundred nautical miles of Hululing Island, and at least tens of thousands of mortals are recuperating here;
The second one is Hengbing Island and Hengnan Island. Hengshu Island is located in the outer ring. It faces the invasion of various sea beasts. It distributes first-order high-grade magic arrays for protection. The island protection team is led by a late-stage Qi Refining monk and twenty Qi Refining people.
In the mid-term, monks serve as assistants. Even if they are attacked by sea beasts, they can still hold on. Each spiritual island has eight thousand mortals.
There are countless large and small islands in the overseas cultivation world, and most of them have no trace of human existence. Due to the cruel environment here, all mortals must survive under the protection of monks.
If they lived on some desert islands, just a few first-order low-grade sea beasts would be enough to kill tens of thousands of mortals, so they could only thrive on spiritual islands.
For the monks, this is a matter of mutual benefit. The most important thing is that the number of monks is limited by mortals. The other thing is that these mortals can also carry out some basic affairs within their capabilities on weekdays.
The most realistic point for Zhao Shoushou at the moment is that simply relying on the Jing family is obviously not enough if he wants to truly control Hululing Island.
The cultivation of some direct lineage powers is imminent and is ready to go. These most reliable powers naturally come from young children with spiritual roots among mortals.
Although it requires a considerable amount of resources, energy, and time, it is also the most important thing for every island owner who is a casual cultivator after taking initial control of the spirit island.
Each spiritual island is a small closed world, and everything is controlled by the island owner. It is precisely because of this that the overseas cultivation world can continue to develop and grow, forming families of various sizes.
Judging from the previous description on the jade slip, Hulu Lingdao should normally conduct spiritual root testing on all children under the age of five every five years.
It is a pity that the number of mortals who possess spiritual roots is too rare. It is not an exaggeration to call it one out of a thousand. At most, only three or five seedlings are selected each time.
And most of them are Five Spiritual Root monks. If they don't have enough opportunities, they can only practice during the Qi Refining Period throughout their lives, and all they can undertake is some of the most basic work.
In the hundred years that the Jing family has controlled the spirit island, the only ones with the best qualifications that have emerged are two monks with three spiritual roots, a man and a woman. They are currently in the late stages of Qi refining and are also the focus of training by the Jing family.
There is also an extreme polarization between some large sects and small forces in the world of cultivation. This is especially obvious in the world of overseas cultivation.
For some first-rate sects with Golden Core Stage monks and Nascent Soul Stage ancestor monks in charge, the entry requirements are at least three spiritual root qualifications.
For small areas of influence such as Calabash Lingdao, the Three Spiritual Root monks are already talented monks worthy of focusing on training. The gap can be imagined.
"Island owner, in front of you is Henglian Island, which is sixty nautical miles away from the main spiritual island. It has a first-level middle-grade earth warehouse stone spirit mine, which can earn 300 pieces of medium-grade spiritual stones every year. In addition, there is a first-order low-grade spiritual field.
Twenty acres, six acres of first-grade medium-grade spiritual land, and three acres of first-grade high-grade spiritual land." Jing Yanfang had obviously done her homework in advance and could easily grasp some basic information about the spiritual island.
"Spiritual materials and spiritual fields should be strengthened to avoid being attacked by sea beasts." Zhao Shoushou has always attached great importance to safety, and this time is of course no exception.
As one of the nearest subsidiary micro-spiritual islands, Henglian Island's role is quite important. With fifteen thousand mortals living there, it must not be underestimated.
Zhao Shoushou euphemistically called it an inspection, and its main function was to appease people's hearts and use its powerful strength to deter some monks with ulterior motives who were ready to take advantage of the situation.
In every battle for spiritual islands in the overseas cultivation world, there are always some monks snatching various resources and property everywhere, and there are not many cases like skeleton witches.
Of course, some of the less powerful Qi Refining Stage monks will tangle with a group of desperadoes and desperately attack some miniature spiritual islands to earn enough resources to meet the needs of several years of cultivation.
The degree of danger is also quite high. The island protection team, the counterattack of the island protection formation, and some possible reinforcements, if unlucky enough to fall into the hands of the foundation-building monks, the whole army will be annihilated. It is the so-called high risk and high return.
Directly proportional.
Following Zhao Shoushou's inspection, after feeling his powerful cultivation, the more or less impetuousness on each of the miniature spiritual islands disappeared without a trace in an instant.
Whenever Zhao Shoushou's figure appears, whether it is the local practitioners of Ling Island, some dependents, or even a large number of mortals, they will burst into cheers.
Some of the robbers who had been hovering nearby to peek at the wealthy miniature spiritual islands were naturally frightened and immediately dispersed, fearing that they would fall into the hands of the foundation-building monks and die.
As the vanguard of the robbers, the monks who entered the spirit island to observe the situation and wait for the opportunity to jointly open the formation with the inside and outside were also honest at this time. They turned into buyers and did not hesitate to spend a large amount of spirit stones to buy some resources that can be found everywhere. This can be regarded as another kind of
Spiritual stones are exchanged for a chance of survival.
This inspection continued until ten days later. When they were about to arrive at the farthest Hengshu Island, they suddenly encountered a change. The spiritual veins of this spiritual island could only barely reach the first-order high-grade level, and the resources were relatively scarce.
However, because there are a large number of first-grade high-quality bronze crabs around, many monks in the Qi Refining Stage are hunting them, so naturally there are some shops that specialize in purchasing their bodies.
The whole body of the bronze crab is full of treasures. A pair of large crab claws can be used to refine it into a spiritual weapon. The fingernail-sized crab roe is full of the essence of the bronze crab. Once refined, it can improve the cultivation level and is also helpful for body refining.
Each time you successfully hunt a bronze crab, you can earn at least twenty low-grade spiritual stones. Due to the speed limit, the danger level is not high, which is already quite attractive to many monks in the Qi Refining Stage.
"Bronze crabs are a good resource. I wonder if they can be domesticated and raised artificially. Has the Jing family ever tried it?" Zhao Shoushou, who was standing near Lingdao, couldn't help but ask.
As a water-attribute monk who was born as a fisherman for generations, he has always had a dream of spiritual fish breeding in his heart that has not yet disappeared. However, in recent years, he has been obsessed with improving his cultivation and has never realized it.
After years of struggle, wouldn't it be just right to have a second-level mid-level spiritual island as a foundation and have enough monks at his disposal?
Especially when the Bronze Crab appears in front of him, isn't this little guy who only has a first-class high-grade but is worth a lot of money as an adult the best experimental subject? How could he miss this opportunity?
