Thousand-Year Dragon Turtle Arrives at Cangran Island
At the end of the entrance to Fangshi, Xiao Chen saw a newly hung Wanted Notice.
There is a monk with Bronze Mask painted on it.
Upon closer inspection, it was the same person who competed with Yi Family Old Ancestor for Fourth-Order Longevity Spirit Pill at the auction.
"Can this also be wanted?"
Out of curiosity, Xiao Chen stopped and took a closer look at the content on Wanted Notice.
The above charge is that this person killed two Yi Family tribesmen without any reason seven days ago in the Listening Wave Sea.
Five days ago, he wounded three Yi Family tribesmen at the Azure Sea border and killed three Golden Core casual cultivators who were passing by.
Finally, three days ago, two patrolling monks sent by the Yi Family were wounded in the south of the Azure Sea.
During the entire escape process, in order to cover up his whereabouts, he once again killed six innocent Golden Core cultivators.
In order to deal with his Bandit Cultivator behavior, Yi Family and Azure Sea Immortal Sect jointly prescribed Wanted Notice.
There is a total reward of one million Spirit Stone. Provide valid clues and you can get up to 300,000 Spirit Stone.
"Huh?"
Xiao Chen was a little surprised. He didn't expect that this guy could not only escape successfully, but also kill the Yi Family tribesmen on the way.
Although the other party dared to openly provoke a Nascent Soul True Lord in public.
The preparations must have been made in advance, and there may even be help from accomplices.
But being able to do this is indeed a feat.
Or maybe Yi Family Old Ancestor is too old and his strength has been affected?
Anyone who sees this Wanted Notice will easily have such suspicion.
"And this escape route is so weird."
If it were Xiao Chen who made the choice, he would definitely evacuate along the east or north.
In short, choose the direction away from the Azure Sea.
But from the content on Wanted Notice, it is not difficult to judge that the mysterious monk not only did not stay away, but ran all the way to the Azure Sea's abdomen, which is really puzzling.
However, Xiao Chen was only slightly curious and did not stay any longer.
After all, these things have little to do with him, as long as there is no Wanted Notice about him here.
Listening Wave Market also has a branch of the Spirit Communication Pavilion.
Otherwise, they are well-informed.
I bought a piece of information as usual, but unfortunately there was no useful information this time.
So Xiao Chen simply asked directly, "Where can I find Fourth-tier Alchemist who is willing to help San cultivate the elixir?"
He thought for a while and added, "It's best not to be too far away."
The steward responsible for receiving him immediately extended his hand. "This news is very expensive."
"I need to charge you one hundred Spirit Stone."
Xiao Chen decisively took out Spirit Stone and successfully obtained a special address.
After twisting and turning, we entered the end of a narrow alley.
Pushing open the black curtain that covered the door even in broad daylight.
I saw sitting inside a young man who was dozing on the table.
"Who!"
Sensing the sound of footsteps, the opponent suddenly woke up, stood up immediately, took half a step back, and subconsciously took out a defensive Method Formula in his hand.
Xiao Chen frowned slightly, it looked so unreliable here.
Fourth-tier Alchemist would really live in a place like this?
But he still tried to ask, "I heard that Daoist Geng lives here and came here to visit. Is he here?"
Previously, I obtained this address in total at the Spirit Communication Pavilion and Xiao Chen.
After all, there are only a few casual alchemy masters, and most people cannot afford the huge expenses, so they basically have to rely on sects or families.
Therefore, Fourth-tier Alchemist is extremely scarce among casual cultivators, so you must try it.
"Senior, wait a moment!"
The young man turned around and walked away, then stopped suddenly, turned around, bowed, and then quickly ran to the back of the cubicle.
Not long after.
An old man with white beard and hair walked over with his hands behind his back.
He looked Xiao Chen up and down and asked calmly, "This fellow Daoist seems a little unfamiliar. I wonder what you are doing here to find the old man?"
Xiao Chen immediately asked, "Are you Alchemist Geng?"
"I would like to ask you to help me refine a Jade Marrow Nascent Soul Pill. Main Ingredient is ready. I wonder if you are willing to take over?"
As he spoke, he took out a Spirit Sealing Jade Box and revealed the Moon-Dyed Jade Marrow Mushroom inside.
Alchemist Geng glanced at the jade box and his eyes flashed slightly.
With his rich experience, he immediately identified that this Spirit Herb strain was ripened by Secret Method.
In this case, the person coming here must have a good background or strength.
He stroked his beard. "I can indeed help fellow Daoist Refine Breakthrough Spirit Pill."
"But I can't do it in vain. Fellow Daoist must agree to do something for me."
Huh?
Xiao Chen shook his head slightly. He didn't want to make such an agreement. "I'm very tight on time, but I am willing to pay double Spirit Stone as reward."
If possible, he would rather spend more Spirit Stone.
"I can understand if fellow Daoist finds it troublesome."
Alchemist Geng nodded, but changed the topic. "But do you think, a fellow Daoist, that a Fourth-tier Alchemist will be short of Spirit Stone?"
"The old man is already very old, so what's the use of having so many extraneous things?"
The skilled Alchemist is a cash cow in itself.
If there is no big demand like Breaking the Realm, then there is indeed no shortage of Spirit Stone.
"Okay."
Xiao Chen asked directly, "Alchemist wants me to do something for you, please tell me."
It's already here, why not listen to what's going on before making a decision.
First, some things may not be complicated for him.
Secondly, there are so few Fourth-tier Alchemist, and I don't know where to go if I want to find another one.
Moreover, the other Alchemist is not necessarily short of Spirit Stone, and there is a high probability that conditions will be imposed.
Hearing this question, Alchemist Geng did not answer directly.
Instead, he took two steps forward and sat down on the chair.
He seemed to have thought about it quite seriously, and stretched out three fingers. "The old man still has three unresolved regrets in his heart."
"As long as fellow Daoist can help me solve any problem, I will help you refine this furnace of elixir."
He reached out and opened the drawer at hand, took out a portrait and unfolded it.
There was a hint of anger in his eyes. "The old man's first regret is that he didn't kill this beast directly."
"Fellow Daoist, please help me get the head from his neck."
Good guy, Xiao Chen took a look at the portrait, and it showed a handsome-looking young man.
I have long heard that Cultivation World has a common sense.
That is, don't offend Alchemist easily, especially the high-end Alchemist.
Today he experienced the reason personally. "May I ask who this person is and what damn thing he did?"
If it is Bandit Cultivator, Xiao Chen is not impossible to consider.
"The reason is complicated, but it is the old man's personal grudges in his early years."
Alchemist Geng shook his head. "Old grievances, it's better not to mention them now."
Seeing that he obviously didn't want to say the reason, Xiao Chen also shook his head. "Then if I refuse, what are the other two things?"
Hearing this answer, Alchemist Geng was a little disappointed.
However, he didn't say much and slowly put away the portrait.
Then he took out a piece of Memory Stone: "The old man's second regret is that he has never seen the legendary Returning Cloud Crane Shadow in his life."
"Please, fellow Daoist, please bring this special piece of Memory Stone."
"Run to Far East Land to record the wonders of that day and help the old man bring it back to fulfill his wish."
What?
Xiao Chen has never heard of this place. "May I ask where exactly this Returning Cloud Crane Shadow is located?"
In fact, he knew without asking that this place must be far away or dangerous, otherwise the other party could go there by himself.
But this does not prevent him from asking casual questions and treating them as inquiring about information.
"Not far, not far."
Alchemist Geng crossed his fingers on the table. "Starting from Fang City, walk 12 million miles east and two million miles south, you will see White Crane Long Reef."
"When the sun sets, and the green smoke rises and blends with the sunset, it will be Returning Cloud Crane Shadow."
Isn't this far?
If according to this distance, Xiao Chen will either miss Cangran Secret Realm and New Ruin.
Either we can leave again in five months, and we can't come back until about a year later.
If something unexpected happens along the way, it will be delayed even longer.
He decided to listen to his last regret. "As I said before, my time is tight, I wonder what the last thing is?"
The second wish was not agreed upon either.
There was obvious disappointment on Alchemist Geng's face.
If he were still young, he would already be serving tea to guests.
But now his temper has improved a lot. "The old man's third regret is that his grandson was born with insufficient energy and blood, which makes it difficult to practice."
"I heard that there is a Thousand-Year Dragon Turtle on Armored Dragon Island a million miles to the southeast."
"If fellow Daoist can kill that Dragon Turtle and bring him back Heart Blood, the matter of the elixir will naturally be taken care of by the old man."
"If fellow Daoist fellows are not willing to do this, then please find another expert."
Something's wrong!
This requirement is obviously too simple.
Fourth-tier Alchemist has such a wide network of contacts. If he really just wanted to kill Demon Beast, there are many people willing to help, so how could it be a pity.
"I can agree to this request."
Xiao Chen asked, "But I'm afraid there's another Profound Mystery involved in this matter, right?"
"Old sir, if it's convenient, you might as well tell me what's so difficult about it?"
However, Alchemist Geng looked a little uninterested. "I can't explain it in just a few words. Fellow Daoist, you will understand naturally after you go there."
"When will we bring Dragon Turtle Heart Blood, and when will we start making alchemy."
It seems that this means he is seeing off guests.
"Okay, then we've settled on that."
Xiao Chen emphasized once more and turned to leave.
Then he returned to the Spirit Communication Pavilion and tried to inquire again whether there were any other casual cultivators Fourth-tier Alchemist around.
It's a pity that the others are just all kinds of gossip, and this is the only one that can find the exact location.
After expressing his willingness to increase the price but still not being able to get it, Xiao Chen began to think about killing Dragon Turtle.
In fact, there is nothing to think about.
Although Armored Dragon Island is relatively close, it takes more than 20 days to go back and forth.
Cangran Secret Realm is coming soon. In order to prevent accidentally missing Secret Realm, the best way is to go to the Secret Realm first.
Then wait for the window period of the Secret Realm to end and New Ruin to finish this matter.
There is no need to worry that Alchemist Geng can't wait, after all, for Golden Core cultivator, this time is not a long time at all.
Suddenly there were bursts of exclamations from the front.
"There is such a good thing!"
"What a beautiful fairy, if this can become my dao companion, I will do it even if it means losing my life."
"Wait a minute, this doesn't seem right. Didn't I say before that that is already the territory of the Illuminating Void Sect?"
Xiao Chen looked up and saw many monks gathering under a newly posted notice.
He also walked over curiously and took a look.
The upper part of the notice turned out to be an ink painting of a beautiful lady.
Drawn with thin and even light ink lines, the picture is elegant and graceful, and outlines a quiet beauty.
At the beginning of the second half, the general situation of the Fan Family is introduced.
Specifically point out that they were originally Hidden Family, but now they have rejoined the WTO and are currently recruiting heroes from all over the world.
And the girl in this painting is from Fan Family Direct Lineage.
It is said that he just turned sixteen this year, which is Dual Spirit Roots's excellent qualifications.
In two months, Fan Family will reveal Husband Recruitment for her.
This time Husband Recruitment is limited to casual cultivators. The winner of the battle can not only receive extremely generous rewards, but also can marry Fan Family's daughter and win the beauty.
Xiao Chen noticed that the notice stated that only casual cultivators could participate.
There are no requirements for age or cultivation.
In other words, Fan Family doesn't seem to mind finding a several hundred year old Golden Core cultivator as his son-in-law.
Tsk tsk tsk, I don't know if the girl in the painting is willing.
Perhaps due to the superb skill of the painter, the number of monks under the notice increased rapidly, and various discussions were heard.
"Oh, that means I haven't broken through Golden Core, otherwise I would definitely give it a try."
"The new Hidden Family, wouldn't it be possible to get High Antiquity Secret Method after getting married?"
"That's for sure. What it says here is Direct Lineage. I don't know if I will get the advantage of that handsome man in the end."
However, Xiao Chen pulled away and left. He was not interested in this kind of thing.
But before he left the crowd, he unexpectedly heard another news.
"It's such a pity that it's set at this time. I'm already ready to participate in World Crossing Assembly."
Looking along the sound, it turned out to be two Golden Core cultivator passing by.
The tall monk wearing a red mantle on the left is shaking his head and sighing, "This girl seems to be what I like. If the time changes, I will definitely go for it."
The short monk wearing orange robes on the right asked, "Daoist Zhao Since you saw it right, why not give it a try."
"Then World Crossing Assembly is held once every ten years. At worst, we can go there next time."
The tall monk shook his head. "Daoist Li doesn't know something."
"The date of this year's event has been changed to two months later."
"I have already made an agreement with Golden Body Arhat, an acquaintance of Lotus Temple, to transport a batch of spiritual trees in advance to decorate the venue."
"I also made an appointment with Daoist Wang when I came to Fangshi this time. I don't have time to attend Husband Recruitment again."
When the short monk heard this, he couldn't help but sigh, "That's really a pity."
"Otherwise, with Daoist Zhao's strength, there really are no opponents among casual cultivators."
Immediately afterwards, the two of them complimented each other, which were all meaningless polite words.
So Xiao Chen turned around and left, but turned back to the Spirit Communication Pavilion.
He needs to find out what is going on with this World Crossing Assembly.
This fixed festival that happens once every ten years is no secret.
So Xiao Chen only spent ten yuan Spirit Stone to learn that this was a large-scale Dharma conference jointly held by the Buddhist Sect several major forces.
Its main purpose is to select children and casual practitioners who are pregnant with Spiritual Root to enter the Brahma Gate to practice.
The preceding is just like a Daoist opening a mountain gate to recruit disciples, there is nothing unusual about it.
The focus is on the latter part, which is the process of cultivating and cultivating people.
If a casual cultivator commits a crime, for example, he is wanted for being Bandit Cultivator, but has not been caught yet.
Then you can take this opportunity to convert to the Buddhist Sect.
As long as the ordination ceremony is completed, you will receive Dharma Name given by the Buddhist Sect, replacing its original name.
Then you can change your identity and become a disciple of the Buddhist Sect, without being implicated in the cause and effect of the past.
Even if he is identified, he will be protected by the Buddhist Sect.
In Xiao Chen's view, saying this is a guarantee, but it is actually a disguised form of attracting and expanding new disciples.
Although the number increases in Eastern Domain Golden Core cultivator, it is not that important.
But they can also be regarded as the backbone, and it would definitely be a good thing to recruit a few more.
"I didn't expect that there is such a thing here. Sure enough, Compassion Sea Region is more powerful than Buddhist Sect, otherwise he would dare to say such nonsense without cause and effect."
After all, Xiao Chen understands Daoist Sect.
Anyone who can survive a fight would have already used his fists and would not care about other people's rules.
If this is the case, it means that the Fourth-Order Cultivator on the Buddhist Sect side is definitely not less than the Daoist side.
Of course, Buddhist Sect is not just a cover-up. After those monks converted, they also need to abide by the Buddhist Sect precepts and cannot continue to commit crimes.
Otherwise, the Buddhist cultivator will clean up the family.
Despite this, according to the intelligence description in the hands of Xiao Chen, every time World Crossing Assembly would have many monks running to try to avoid the limelight.
Later, there were also smart monks who stayed nearby in advance to catch fish that slipped through the net.
There are also some more powerful casual cultivators who will arrest people according to Wanted Notice in exchange for high rewards.
In addition, in order to attract a large number of casual practitioners to participate, and also to exchange knowledge.
World Crossing Assembly is also a trading conference.
At that time, there will be a large number of Buddhist Artifact, Buddhist Water, Buddhist Incense and other spiritual objects for public sale.
This is quite attractive, after all, these things have their merits.
Whether you buy it for your own use or simply sell it elsewhere, it is a way to make a profit.
Therefore, the original Dharma gathering gradually became a fixed large-scale event.
"Buddhist Artifact? Buddhist Incense?"
After reading the information in his hand, Xiao Chen became more interested. "It's a bit interesting. If the situation is suitable, you can go and have a look."
After all, it was something he had never seen before, so he would naturally be somewhat interested.
However, he then thought about it, if he was going to participate in World Crossing Assembly, then Thousand-Year Dragon Turtle would have to be postponed again.
"Hey~, forget it, why do you think so much?"
Shaking his head vigorously, Xiao Chen decided on all matters and would wait until Secret Realm came out.
If Cangran Secret Realm ends soon and there is enough time, then go to World Crossing Assembly to join in the fun.
If you spend too long in the Secret Realm, go directly to Armored Dragon Island and try to hunt Thousand-Year Dragon Turtle.
After all, even if he doesn't go there, Xiao Chen believes that he will see Buddhist Artifact somewhere else sooner or later.
Therefore, its importance is naturally ranked later.
After thinking clearly about his next action goal, he left Wave Listening Market directly and rushed towards the Cangran Secret Realm in the northwest direction.
Cangran Island, where Cangran Secret Realm is located, is just north of the dividing line between the Azure Sea and Listening Wave Sea.
In the chart, connect Heavenly Dipper Sect and Cloud Wave Sword Abode with a line, and the center point should be slightly west.
On the way, Xiao Chen passed by the white mist formed by Yin Spirit Calamity again.
Compared to half a month ago, its position has stabilized.
Therefore, there are many monks nearby who are active in the periphery, searching for and hunting Yin Spirit among them.
Of course, there are also some people who go in and never come out.
Because I have already had an experience before.
Therefore, even if Xiao Chen did not learn the specific time of New Ruin in advance from Withered Leaf True Monarch.
It can still be easily judged based on the state of the fog. It is probably less than four months since New Ruin was opened.
This in turn proves that the other party did give him accurate information.
After bypassing here, Xiao Chen successfully arrived at Cangran Island in early May.
Because there is Cangran Secret Realm here, but there is no Spirit Vein on the island itself.
In addition, it is very close to the Heavenly Dipper Sect, Azure Sea Immortal Sect, and Cloud Wave Sword Abode.
Therefore, this place currently belongs to the third-party zone, and no party has chosen to occupy this island and dominate Secret Realm.
This also means that any monk who holds Cangran Secret Token can enter Secret Realm to explore.
When Xiao Chen arrived, there were already many monks on the island.
And not only the disciples of Three Great Sects nearby, but also some Lineage monks and even a large number of casual cultivators.
Many of them do not have Cangran Secret Token, and they are not here to participate in the Secret Realm.
Instead, a beautifully decorated garden cave abode has been prepared on the island for rent.
Or they took some special things and took the opportunity to sell them.
For example, Xiao Chen had just landed on the island, and a casual cultivator came over next to him. "Fellow Daoist, do you want a talisman?"
As he spoke, he also took out two golden Talisman: "They are all made at home and sold cheaply."
"Three hundred Spirit Stone one piece, one thousand Spirit Stone four pieces."
As soon as the two Talisman were taken out, Xiao Chen clearly felt that they were full of sharp gold.
It is obviously the gold type Talisman, and it did not take long to draw.
This is interesting.
In fact, both from the name Cangran Secret Realm and from the characteristics of Wood Element Dao Comprehension Crystal.
It is not difficult to infer that the situation inside the Secret Realm must be closely related to Wood Attribute.
But since someone specially rushed to this moment, they made the gold series Talisman for sale.
That will undoubtedly reveal a piece of news - there is Wood Element Spirit Beast in the Secret Realm that needs to be dealt with by the monks.
"Fellow Daoist, I have a good Fine Gold Flying Sword here, take one with you."
Another casual cultivator also came over to sell it. "I guarantee you will use it after you get in."
However, Xiao Chen has no need for these things, so he just waved his hand and declined.
Then I rented a nearby apartment, cave abode, and started meditating peacefully.
Now that we have arrived on the island, we are not afraid of missing the opening of the Secret Realm.
I just took this opportunity to refine all the Demon Core I purchased earlier.
Seven days flew by.
Just when Xiao Chen had used up all the Demon Core in his hand, he was already hesitating whether to take the time to catch two Golden Core Sea Fish in the nearby sea.
Spiritual Qi on Cangran Island suddenly began to converge rapidly toward the center.
In a moment, a huge Spiritual Energy Vortex was formed within a radius of several hundred miles.
The massive amount of Spiritual Qi was consumed, and a huge Emerald Green Talisman Array was built in the center of the island.
Soon this extremely complex talisman array was built.
When the monks who came along Spiritual Qi saw this, someone immediately took out Cangran Secret Token, held it in their hands, and jumped into the middle of the talisman array.
A flash of green light was seen, and his figure disappeared without a trace.
