Among the three small groups in the late stage of foundation building, Zhao Shoushou's favorite is actually the expedition team. Although they face many dangers, they also have equally many opportunities to obtain various treasures.
A monk's practice is to go against the will of nature. He faces countless dangers along the way, so he is only wary of them and not afraid of them.
Especially with the improvement of cultivation level, the resources that need to be consumed have become more and more scarce, and the more effort you have to put in to get them, unless you are willing to be a salty fish who only relies on meditation.
This is obviously impossible for Zhao Shoushou. Since the three small teams are all taking risks, why not choose the one with the highest return?
Wouldn’t it be nice to get more cultivation resources that can last for several years or treasures that are precious enough in one adventure? Wouldn’t it be better to save more time for cultivation?
As for the so-called test above the second invitation letter, he didn't take it to heart. Although he had just entered the seventh level of foundation building, he still had a certain degree of confidence in his own strength.
On the other hand, since the purpose is to test a monk's strength, the place chosen should not be some Jedi that have long been famous in the world of cultivation.
No specific information was disclosed in the invitation letter. This has been a long-standing practice. The purpose is to prevent the information from leaking or causing unnecessary trouble.
"An experienced ninth-level foundation-building monk leads the team. He has sufficient guarantee of combat effectiveness and enough room for maneuver when encountering danger. He is well prepared. But I don't know how many monks will participate?" Zhao Shoushou's eyes appeared.
A rather anticipated light.
Regarding this invitation, he will naturally attend the appointment on time. On the one hand, this trip is a good test for his own strength. On the other hand, he is also quite curious about some secret places in the overseas cultivation world.
He comes from the mainland cultivation world. Although he has been constantly wandering in the outer seas over the years, he has a certain understanding of some basic conditions here, but he knows very little about some of the more secret places.
This aspect is almost his natural shortcoming that cannot be made up for. The degree of danger in these secret positions is naturally extraordinary, but the benefits are also quite astonishing.
Almost all spiritual plants and spiritual beasts that have become extinct in the outside world thrive in these places, because they are inaccessible and various precious spiritual materials are relatively common.
The most precious among them are some poisonous insects and poisonous flowers with special effects. Most of them have various effects, and there are also many that are helpful in condensing golden elixirs.
"We will meet at Heishuiling Island in two months. We have some time to prepare. I hope we can have good luck on this trip." When he thought of this, Zhao Shoushou's spirit was suddenly shaken.
While he was thinking about it, thousands of miles away, a second-level high-grade spiritual island located at the junction of the inner and outer seas and belonging to the base camp of the expedition team was also being discussed about a certain matter. Judging from the movement,
Obviously we can't reach an agreement for a while.
"The Deep Sea Grand Canyon is located deep in the open sea. Various second-order high-grade sea beasts emerge in endlessly inside. Third-order and low-grade sea monsters also often appear. Are you bringing a group of rookies here for a trial? Do you want to send them all to death?" Hall
A rough voice yelled inside, obviously quite unconvinced.
"Not to mention a group of newly promoted late-stage foundation-building monks, even all of you here are confident that you can go to one of them and return safely?" The voice was gloomy, but the meaning expressed by the two was exactly the same.
"Survival of the fittest has always been the code of conduct for the expedition team. Only by selecting the best and discarding the dross can we ensure the emergence of the next Golden Core Stage monk." This one is obviously obvious.
counterpoint.
"The expedition team has been in existence for thousands of years. It is precisely because it continues to absorb excellent fresh blood that it can maintain its current situation. Although the deep sea canyon is more dangerous, it is not a dead place for the monks on the seventh floor of the foundation. Have you forgotten
The last trial?”
It can be seen from the bloody words of the two parties that the so-called expedition team is not a kind place, and every golden elixir monk who goes out is stained with the smell of blood.
"You are all powerful late-stage foundation-builders from the powerful side. How can you argue like a vegetable vendor here? This destination is appointed by the island owner. The Black Water Spirit Island in two months can give them a
Opportunity to choose." An old man sitting cross-legged in the center spoke to suppress all the quarrels.
This monk was dressed in white, with white hair and a white beard, but his face was unusually rosy. His voice was not loud but it was enough for the monks present to hear clearly. There seemed to be no breath leaking from his body. When he spoke, he
Brings unquestionable pressure.
As the cultivation level increases, the aura exposed on the monk's body becomes more and more inconspicuous. This is a completely opposite process to the cultivation period of Qi refining.
He is obviously a monk who is already at the peak of foundation building and has even touched the edge of the golden elixir. As long as he continues to take a step forward, he is very likely to become the next golden elixir stage monk.
The so-called island owner in his mouth is naturally the real leader of the expedition team, a genuine Golden Core monk, and a high-grade Golden Core monk with a broad future.
There are also certain differences among Jindan monks, depending on the monk's qualifications and whether the foundation in the previous cultivation process is solid or not.
Of course, this kind of secret is only relatively widespread. At least Zhao Shoushou doesn't know the difference now, and can only leave it to explore and learn one by one in the future.
Unfortunately, the leader of the expedition team is not fixed. According to their rules, the last monk who condensed the golden elixir needs to stay in this base camp. Only when a new monk successfully condenses the golden elixir can he have the opportunity to leave.
This can be regarded as a price and commitment to obtain the assistance of the expedition team. Although you lose some freedom, it is still of considerable value.
"Since it was decided by the island owner, we will naturally have no objection to whether we can send two ninth-level monks to lead the way. If there is another group annihilation, I am afraid it will be more difficult to recruit people in the future.
Higher." A monk sitting cross-legged in the corner proposed an ambiguous plan acceptable to both parties.
"In view of the current situation, we can add a leader. Both of them will enjoy the same treatment. Is there any fellow Taoist who is willing to go?" The old man agreed decisively and had no objection to this point.
Not to mention the debates and changes at the expedition team's base camp, Zhao Shoushou, who has already made up his mind to accept the invitation, is taking stock of the available treasures in his hands.
It takes half a month to get from Calabash Ling Island to Heishui Ling Island where the meeting point is located. In addition to dealing with some trivial matters on Ling Island, the time left for him is not too sufficient.
What's more, once you advance to the later stage of foundation building, the various treasures you need cannot be easily purchased in the market, and you need to order them specifically from some stores.
