Ink Hidden True Person upstairs was dumbfounded when he saw Ink Cave True Person's actions.

What's going on?

To him, Ink Cave True Person is a distinguished guest who needs to be fawned over.

But now this distinguished guest seems to be deliberately making friends with this Daoist Xiao?

With his rich experience, he immediately realized that Xiao Chen might be far more powerful than the rumors said.

If this is the case, then he is certainly not an idiot.

Silently he put the Formation Flag he took out in his hand back, then stretched out his hand to rub his cheek to make his expression more natural.

Then he rushed downstairs, seemingly in a hurry.

He greeted her with a smile, "I have heard about Daoist Xiao for a long time, but unfortunately I have never had the opportunity to meet him. Today I am finally lucky enough to meet him."

"Fellow Daoist, please go upstairs first and have a sip of hot tea."

"I'm familiar with several restaurants in Fangshi, so I'll ask them to deliver their signature dishes right away."

Ink Hidden True Person While talking, he glanced at the trembling boy who was slumped on the ground with the corner of his eye.

Even though I didn't see what just happened.

But he knew a little bit about his character as a boy, and he had roughly made a guess.

"Fellow Daoist Mo Yin, right? It's not easy to meet you."

Xiao Chen nodded lightly without deliberately scolding the boy.

Instead, the conversation changed. "There's no need for food. I came here today mainly because I have important news to tell you."

"This matter is of great importance and should not be leaked. I would also like to ask two fellow Daoists to follow me upstairs to talk about it."

After saying that, he walked straight up the stairs to the sixth floor.

Ink Cave True Person deliberately took a step slowly, turned around and said the next sentence, "Senior Apprentice Brother Ink Hidden, send the dishes to the second floor."

Then he walked up.

It was only then that the boy seemed to react and immediately kowtowed and begged for mercy, "Master, I was just confused and couldn't see Mount Tai."

"Please, Master, spare me this time."

However, Ink Hidden True Person cursed angrily, "You bastard, get out of here quickly, don't stay here and disturb the eyes of noble people."

Then he turned around and ordered another attendant, "Hurry up and bring all the good wine and food from each house and set them up on the second floor."

After saying that, he tossed his long sleeves and hurriedly chased him upstairs.

At this moment, the two of them were still preparing to eat.

But it doesn't matter. When Xiao Chen sat at the tea table, he took out the two array diagrams and spread them out.

Immediately, Ink Hidden True Person's eyes widened, his mouth opened wide, and his mind went blank. "How... how... is this possible?"

For a moment, he was so shocked by this sudden news that he could not speak clearly.

He has always been stable in Fangshi, but he has never seen such a big change.

In comparison, Ink Cave True Person performs much better as True Disciple.

After a brief contraction of his pupils, he immediately carefully compared the authenticity of the array diagram.

Then his thoughts started to spin wildly, and he asked cautiously, "May I ask Daoist Xiao, is this information obtained from Sea Race? When did it happen?"

Both of these questions are good and critical.

Xiao Chen nodded. "Yes, they are the two traitors I met by chance before who have secretly defected to Sea Race."

"The former comes from the end of last year, and the latter comes later."

"It is basically certain that Sea Race is trying to launch a large-scale attack, and has secretly stockpiled a considerable amount of Yang-Preserving Stone and other supplies."

"If we leave it alone, it's likely that war will break out here before long."

"I hope your faction can pay attention to it in time and nip it in the bud."

War?

Hearing these two words, Ink Hidden True Person immediately felt the hair on his head stand on end.

A pair of eyes looked at Xiao Chen on the left and Ink Cave True Person on the right, showing obvious panic.

Should he listen to such important information?

How come Sea Race, who is fine, suddenly sets his sights on the Ink Barrier Sect?

If a war breaks out, will Ink Stone Market where he is located be fine?

All kinds of thoughts immediately filled Ink Hidden True Person's mind, making him a little overwhelmed.

But this is not something Xiao Chen has to worry about.

He has done his part by passing the information to disciple Ink Barrier Sect.

Whether the situation is good or bad next is their fate.

"All the information I have is here."

Xiao Chen warned, "I will leave first. There is no need to send it away. You can just stay and take care of the good things."

After saying that, he left cleanly and directly.

I paid attention when I went downstairs, and sure enough, the boy from before had disappeared and was replaced by another disciple from the city who acted as the temporary doorman.

Since we came to Fangshi, Xiao Chen took a look at the pastry shop.

Successfully found the branch of Golden Flower Workshop in Ink Stone Market.

"One hundred copies of Golden Thread Glazed Crisp, all packed up and taken away, please hurry up, thank you."

For some reasons, the rest of the pastries Xiao Chen bought last time were not taken out in the end, but were eaten by himself.

So he decided to buy a few more copies and take them back this time.

"Senior, I'm really sorry, we don't have that many boxes of pastries in the store at the moment."

The waiter in charge of the reception apologized profusely and asked if he could change to a different flavor.

Or give them some time to prepare and then deliver it to your house.

Their high-end pastries, which sell at high prices and are mainly used to build a reputation, usually have very little stock.

"I only want this flavor. Wrap up whatever you have now for me."

Xiao Chen doesn't have a fixed address yet, and the time of his next visit is uncertain, so he rejected the other party's proposal.

Finally, I returned to Secluded Doom Island with the only eight boxes of pastries in the store.

Since there is no need to use the spirit shuttle anymore, those annoying Sea Fish have disappeared.

It was smooth sailing along the way.

It only took ten days to successfully reach the outskirts of the island.

What a coincidence, there were actually three Golden Core Sea Fish staying in the illusion array, as if they had lost their direction.

When I saw Xiao Chen approaching, I immediately found the target and pounced on it ferociously.

Then it turned into three fresh Demon Core.

"Why are there so many Golden Core Sea Fish here?"

Xiao Chen At this moment, he also realized that something was not right.

He recalled that when he was at Ink Stone Market, he seemed to have seen many low-level monks.

But at that time, he thought he might just catch up with a gathering, so he didn't pay attention.

But on top of that, I met almost no one along the way.

In the past, there were hardly many Sea Fishs in the Secluded Doom Island group, but three Golden Core Sea Fishs suddenly appeared.

These signs all mean that the number of Sea Fish in the Compassion Sea has become overwhelming.

It spread from the east side to the entire sea area, seriously affecting most of the monks' outings.

After all, if you just take a few steps, you can meet Golden Core Sea Fish.

Then all monks below Golden Core will lose the qualification to go to sea.

This matter was not serious at first, but combined with the current Sea Race Invasion, it can be described as adding insult to injury.

Fortunately, Xiao Chen does not need to worry too much about these problems for the time being.

And you shouldn't have to worry about this for a while.

"Ding!"

Before Xiao Chen was completely close to the island, a snow-white figure came towards it at a faster speed.

"You're back!"

Su Li's smile is as beautiful as a flower, which is more touching than the peach blossoms in April: "I saw a Large-faced Grouper passing by two days ago, which can be used for steaming."

"Look, it's over there."

She pointed to not far away, where in the sea water in front of the island, a twenty-foot-long grouper was rushing left and right.

However, he was firmly blocked by a strong Spiritual Power Barrier and could not break free.

Tsk tsk tsk, should I call it lucky or unlucky?

You can actually break in here without being disturbed by the illusory formation.

Unfortunately, it looks like he won't be able to leave.

"Steamed is good!"

Xiao Chen agreed, "I haven't eaten fish this year, and I'm already greedy."

"By the way, help me keep Demon Core when the time comes."

Su Li nodded. "Well, I will bring it to you in the evening."

After a simple greeting, Xiao Chen returned to the beach skillfully and began his daily practice.

Although there is Hextech Enhancement, you still have to be more diligent in practicing. If you have time, review Law Technique twice. Over time, it will be a big improvement.

Soon it was evening.

As the blazing bonfire rose, the cleaned grouper fell into the big pot.

Xiao Chen then sat by the fire and took out Golden Thread Glazed Crisp: "Bake this too, it might taste better."

"I didn't know you liked to eat before, so I specially brought a few more this time."

"It's a pity that there are only eight in that store, otherwise I would definitely bring more."

Su Li was not as happy as expected, but frowned slightly. "Why did you buy so many at once?"

"Actually, I don't particularly like eating this kind of food."

"It's better to keep these Spirit Stone and exchange them for other cultivation resources."

Most monks have this idea. The precious Spirit Stone should be spent on the blade, rather than used for enjoyment.

Although Su Li is Nascent Soul True Lord, her situation is quite special.

Before becoming Nascent Soul, I was in a small sect, and my life was naturally tight. After finally becoming Nascent Soul, I came to Secluded Doom Island within a few days.

As a result, some concepts have not had time to change.

Seeing Xiao Chen spending Spirit Stone on pastries, I actually thought about being frugal.

"Well... I don't mean to blame you, but there is no need to spend Spirit Stone on me."

Su Li looked at Xiao Chen, who was a little surprised, and explained, "I'm still very happy if you bring me cakes."

"But for now, let's accumulate them first. The spiritual materials needed by Infant Nurturing Altar are more important."

"It's not convenient for me to go out now. You have to make up for it yourself."

She said it very seriously, Xiao Chen was confused when she heard it.

"Um... didn't I say before that I had gathered the materials?"

There's nothing to show off about this kind of thing, so he didn't go out of his way to say it before.

However, what Su Li thinks is that if she frequently asks about the collection progress, it may cause a certain amount of pressure.

So I actively avoided the relevant topics and didn't ask any questions.

This resulted in such misunderstandings.

"So fast!"

Su Li looked in disbelief. "You mean, you have collected all the materials for Infant Nurturing Altar?"

"All materials including those three Special Spirit Jade?"

At first, she relied on her sect's foundation and spent nearly ten years collecting the remaining materials.

But Xiao Chen was alone, and it took only one year to collect them all.

This speed was so exaggerated, no wonder she found it unbelievable.

"It's just a fluke, it can be considered a fortuitous opportunity coincidence."

Xiao Chen explained, "Actually, I had some accumulation, and I just happened to meet Grand Auction from last year's game."

"After I finish, I still have some extra gains in the ruins. I just happened to get it all after a few trips."

"By the way, I also met Crimson Moon Dew at the auction."

Now that it's all said and done, Xiao Chen added, "In addition, I met Alchemist Geng at Wave Listening Market before, and he helped me refine Moon-Dyed Jade Marrow Mushroom into Breakthrough Spirit Pill."

"Now we are basically ready."

After hearing that there was some accumulation, Su Li suddenly understood.

She had vaguely known before that Xiao Chen was not a local of the Compassion Sea, but an outsider.

Originally, she thought she was from a loose cultivator, but now it seems more likely that she is from a major force.

Even some descendants of Hidden Dao Heritage who entered the world.

That is to say, the age does not match, otherwise she would have to wonder if it was Grand Elder from a certain small sect who came out with the sect's resources to give it a try.

But anyway, this is a good thing.

"That's it, then it's time to prepare for a breakthrough."

Su Li seemed to have thought of something, and looked a little depressed. "To break through the Major Realm, we must pay attention to the right time, location, and people."

"It's best to find a reliable Dao Protector."

"Prevent outsiders from interfering with the breakthrough process during the impact of the Nascent Soul Realm."

"Are you going to leave Compassion Sea and prepare for Nascent Soul Formation?"

For such an important matter, you must find someone who is absolutely reliable.

Xiao Chen has only been here two years since Compassion Sea, which means that he will most likely choose to return to his hometown.

If this is the case, I'm afraid the next time the two of them meet will be several years later.

"I don't know many people."

Xiao Chen thought for a while and looked at Su Li: "How about you be my Dao Protector?"

He was not talking nonsense, but had thought it over carefully.

He doesn't have many acquaintances in Eastern Domain, let alone reliable Dao Protector.

If it had been before, he would have definitely used the old method of finding an extremely remote place with no grass and no human habitation.

One person hides and breaks through quietly.

But now, he seems to have one more choice.

That is to let Su Li help you protect the law!

Although objectively speaking, the time the two spent together was not very long.

But Xiao Chen can see that Su Li is the kind of person with a relatively kind nature, otherwise he would not come to Secluded Doom Island voluntarily.

Such people are relatively reliable.

By entrusting his safety to Su Li, he feels more at ease.

Moreover, even from a purely mutual benefit perspective.

Su Li still needs his own help to find a way to completely eliminate Curse.

The two of them need each other, and this kind of interest relationship is definitely one of the most solid and reliable relationships in the world until they encounter greater new interests.

That is to say.

In terms of both emotion and reason, Su Li is the best candidate.

"No, I can't be your protector!"

Su Li was happy at first when he heard this, but then shook his head regretfully. "It's not that I don't want to, it's just that Secluded Doom Island's environment is too bad and it's not suitable for Nascent Soul Formation at all."

"In the Nascent Soul Formation process, a large amount of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi is required."

"Only when the core position of at least the third-order Spirit Vein is matched with Spirit Gathering Formation can sufficient Spiritual Qi be continuously provided."

"Even most qualified monks will look for Fourth-Order Spirit Vein to ensure a sufficient supply of Spiritual Qi when they break through."

It is not convenient for Su Li to leave Secluded Doom Island now, so naturally there is no way to follow him to protect the Dharma in Spirit Vein.

Although she doesn't want to separate, a successful breakthrough is more important.

"It's easy to say, it doesn't need to be so troublesome."

But Xiao Chen smiled slightly, "I can use Spirit Stone to supplement the Spiritual Qi consumption during the breakthrough."

In fact, this is not the first time he has done this, he has done it this way before.

Do you still need Spirit Vein for cultivation?

Isn't Spirit Stone enough?

"This time it's different."

Su Li misunderstood something and explained, "Generally, if Spiritual Qi is insufficient during a breakthrough, you can use Spirit Stone as an emergency."

"But the Nascent Soul Formation process takes a long time. If there is no supply of Spirit Vein, the entire process will consume a huge amount of Spirit Stone."

Although Xiao Chen seems to have some savings.

But Su Li considered that he had just participated in the auction and prepared Infant Nurturing Altar, so he expected to have spent several millions Spirit Stone.

Nowadays, not to mention that the money is tight, but there should be very little left.

This guess is actually quite correct. When he just participated in the auction, Xiao Chen was indeed not very wealthy.

But one moment after another, he has now accumulated a large amount of Spirit Stone in his hands.

Therefore, after hearing Su Li say that the amount of Spirit Stone consumed is huge.

Xiao Chen looked a little suspicious. "Do you really need that many?"

"Is six million Spirit Stone enough? If it's not enough, I can add more."

"Mainly because the number six sounds auspicious, I now have more than eight million Spirit Stone on hand, and some Mid-Grade Spirit Stone."

"It shouldn't be a big problem if we manually build the strip Pseudo Spirit Vein on the island."

How much?

Su Li made a rare loss of composure. She covered her red lips with her beautiful hands and her eyes were full of confusion.

She felt as if she was hallucinating.

Putting aside Mid-Grade Spirit Stone, eight million Spirit Stone is definitely a lot of money even for Nascent Soul True Lord, right?

For most Golden Core cultivator, it is an astronomical amount of money.

After all, although Golden Core cultivator earns Spirit Stone a lot, there are also many places where he needs to spend money.

Moreover, Third-Order Spiritual Object is expensive, costing tens of thousands of Spirit Stone.

Generally Golden Core cultivator, a person is considered rich if he can accumulate two to three hundred thousand Spirit Stone on hand.

Su Li even had a strange idea in his mind.

Could it be that Xiao Chen robbed Universal Salvation Temple?

Otherwise, where did he get so many Spirit Stone?

Or, could it be that I have been on the island for so long that I have lost touch with the outside world?

It shouldn't be, it's only been a hundred years, not a million years.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with the perception of Su Li.

According to Xiao Chen's years of experience in cracking Storage Ring, most Golden Core cultivator indeed only have no more than 200,000 Spirit Stone on hand.

Anyone with a number higher than this is mostly elite monks with background or ability.

"Is this... isn't it too wasteful?"

Su Li is already a little confused now.

"There is no such thing as waste."

Xiao Chen doesn't think so, "There is a saying in our hometown, money is for bastards, you can make it again if you lose it."

"Besides, if I really try my best to go to someone else's sect's formation and be surrounded by a group of strangers to break through, it would be too risky."

Spirit Stone If you keep it and it won't produce babies, you have to spend it.

It's better to stay on Secluded Doom Island, and there is Su Li as the protector.

It's like spending money to buy peace of mind.

"That's fine."

Su Li thought about it for a while, although he still felt a little luxurious in his heart, but he did not continue to persuade.

First of all, if you can't find a reliable Spirit Vein, you might as well use Spirit Stone instead.

If you can afford it, safety must come first.

Secondly, she actually wanted to act as Xiao Chen's guardian, personally watch over his breakthrough process and witness his important growth.

"Then there's only one last question, waiting for the right time."

Su Li did some mental calculation. "I remember you said that you are Wood Spiritual Root, right?"

"The year before last was the year of wood, so the next time should be the year after tomorrow."

Xiao Chen quickly waved his hand. "This won't work. The situation outside is now turbulent. It's too late to wait that long."

"Besides, I'm not that particular."

Others Golden Core cultivator may be willing to wait, but for him, two years is obviously too long, and two months would be about the same.

"However, the best time of this year has been missed."

Su Li frowned slightly. "Rather than wait until next spring, it is better to wait one more year."

The best time is February, but now it is early May, so we have indeed missed the best time.

"It's okay, it won't take that long."

Xiao Chen smiled slightly, "For example, in two days it will be the 11th, which happens to be Wood Day. I can make a breakthrough on that day."

He is also quite experienced in this, having done this for two previous breakthroughs without any problems.

"In two days?"

Although Su Li is a little confused in his heart, he is still not confused about major matters. "Do you want to challenge Body Cultivator?"

This is obvious.

First of all, the matter of Xiao Chen Dual Cultivation of Magic and Body was neither actively hidden nor could it be hidden from Su Li.

Secondly, this afternoon, he was still Cultivation Method on the beach, Flawless Golden Core Condense True Essence.

Therefore, it is easy for Su Li to infer that if a breakthrough is imminent, it can only be a way to impact Body Cultivator.

"I happened to be thinking about this too."

Xiao Chen asked in return, "Based on your experience, will my journey to Cultivator of Magic be better this time?"

"I feel like my Qi and Blood Concentration still has some room for improvement."

As we all know, the improvement of Qi and Blood Concentration can significantly reduce the bottleneck difficulty when Body Cultivator breaks through.

Even for Major Bottleneck that breaks through Nascent Soul, it is still effective.

If the time is extended, relying solely on the accumulation of Blood Crystal, there is a high probability that a quantitative change will lead to a qualitative change.

But Cultivator of Magic's journey is different. Xiao Chen has no stable channel to improve the quality of its true essence.

All things considered, his best strategy should be to give priority to breaking through Cultivator of Magic.

Then find a way to collect the second set of Breakthrough Spirit Item.

In this way, even if something unexpected happens, Blood Crystal will be there to support you.

Su Li nodded. "I think so too. Your current Qi and Blood Concentration still has a lot of room for improvement."

"Next, stay on the island to accumulate real energy, just in time to wait for the auspicious time, and kill two birds with one stone."

Xiao Chen After thinking about it, it actually won't take too long to accumulate real energy.

There are so many Golden Core Sea Fish nowadays, as long as you stay near Secluded Doom Island, you can easily get a lot of Demon Core.

Coupled with Yin Five Elements Seal, it will take up to three months to collect all the true energy of Cultivator of Magic.

First of all, this time is not particularly long.

Secondly, as long as you don't stay away from Secluded Doom Island, you will basically not be in danger if Su Li is around you.

There is absolutely no need to grab these three months and create hidden dangers for your future cultivation.

That's it!
