Wonderland

Chapter 416 Falling Star Islands
A few days later, Xiao Lin looked down from a thousand feet in the sky, and saw large islands appearing on the sea in the distance. These islands were like verdant gemstones dotted in the vast waves.

Among them, tens of miles directly in front of him, there are three large islands, each with a radius of at least a hundred miles. The three islands are lined up, and the distance between them is no more than a hundred miles.

And on the periphery of these three islands, there are dozens of smaller islands, these islands almost cover the area that Xiao Lin can see.

And besides these islands, there are countless small islands, ranging from a few miles to tens of miles in radius, extending to the end of the sea and sky.

Xiao Lin thought to himself, it seems that this is the Fallen Star Islands. He silently recalled a few sea charts in his mind, and after verification, he confirmed that the large island in front of him was the Fallen Star Islands.

Xiao Lin pressed the escape light and flew towards the most central island. At this moment, Xiao Lin has seen the escape light around from time to time, shuttling between the sea, sky and white clouds.

And on the sea surface of these islands, there are also countless huge ships coming and going, looking busy and lively.

Soon Xiao Lin landed on a pier. Outside the pier were rows of huge wooden boats. The big ones were hundreds of feet long, and the small ones were twenty or thirty feet long. At a glance, there might not be hundreds of them.

And many mortals on the pier saw Xiao Lin descending from the sky, all of them showed admiration and watched Xiao Lin secretly.

Xiao Lin ignored the awe-inspiring gazes of these mortals, but, like the rest of the cultivators who landed, walked towards the city above the pier.

A strong aura rushed towards his face, which made Xiao Lin feel refreshed. He was secretly surprised that the Falling Star Islands were indeed an excellent place for cultivators to practice. Dan peak.

Xiao Lin, who walked out of the city, discovered at this moment that the island presents a pattern of middle heights and lower surroundings, surrounded by streets, with shops on both sides of the streets.

Most of the items sold in the shop are materials from monsters, but Xiao Lin only glanced at them before looking away. These materials are all materials from mortal monsters.

It may be useful to a monk in the Qi refining period, but to him, it is simply not worth it.

Xiao Lin walked around the mountain road towards the center of the island. He was looking for the "Xianju Pavilion" that Chen Si mentioned a few days ago, but he searched for a long time, but he did not see the word "Xianju Pavilion".

Seeing that it has come to the halfway up the mountain.

"Stop coming." At this moment, three girls with swords on their backs suddenly came out. These three girls seemed to be in their twenties, and two of them were at the seventh level of Qi Refining and the other at the eighth level of Qi Refining.

They were wearing a set of yellow-green long skirts with a pattern of blue waves embroidered on their chests. After a little thought, Xiao Lin understood that these three women should be from Yushui Palace.

"The upper part is the place where the elders of the outer gate of Yushui Palace clean up. No one else is allowed to enter. Even though the senior is a foundation cultivator, he must not violate it." The woman on the eighth level of Qi Refining said proudly.

Hearing this, Xiao Lin couldn't help frowning. The woman's tone made him quite unhappy, but he didn't show it. Instead, he smiled and said, "I came to the Falling Star Islands for the first time, and I want to find Xianju Pavilion. , I wonder if the three of you can point me in a direction?"

The woman at the eighth level of Qi Refining's expression softened a little: "It turns out that senior wanted to rent a cultivation cave, but he went in the wrong direction. I think senior also came from the pier. It's on the left side of the pier. There is a mountain road, walk along the mountain road, and you will see Xianju Pavilion."

"So that's the case, thank you, miss." Xiao Lin's face showed a look of surprise when he heard this, for the Xianju Pavilion was not in this city.

After Xiao Lin bid farewell and left, he turned around and headed out of the city. Along the way, he also deliberately wandered around, and found that there were not many immortal cultivators in the island city, and the few immortal cultivators were all low-level in the Qi refining period. Cultivator.

This surprised Xiao Lin a little. The aura on this island is still very strong. Practicing here is definitely more effective than half the effort. I'm not seeing a single one.

Soon, Xiao Lin went out of the city gate and found the mountain road that the woman mentioned earlier. This mountain road is very quiet, just a small stone path. If the woman hadn't pointed it out, he really wouldn't have combined it with Xianju Pavilion. get in touch.

After walking for several miles, Xiao Lin saw an attic not far ahead, with only one floor, and the words "Xianju Pavilion" were engraved on the plaque on it.

Xiao Lin's eyes lit up, he couldn't help speeding up his pace, and soon he came to the attic, just about to knock on the door.

"Come in, the door is unlocked." A lazy voice came from inside the door.

Xiao Lin heard the words, gently opened the door and walked in.

Xiao Lin saw at a glance that there was a table and a wooden bed in the attic, and an old man in his fifties was slowly getting up from the bed.

"Fellow Daoist, do you want to rent a cultivation cave?" The old man got off the bed, sat down in front of the table, took out a golden booklet from under the table, and said calmly.

"Yes."

The old man nodded, then bent down again, got under the table, and crawled out with a piece of animal skin after a while.

On the animal skin is the sea chart of this sea area, and Xiao Lin can see the islands on it at a glance, and most of these islands are marked with red.

"All the marked islands have already been rented out. You can choose one of the unmarked islands." The old man pushed the animal skin in front of Xiao Lin.

Looking at the densely packed islands on the animal skin, there are probably hundreds of them, and at least half of them are marked with red marks.

"The island where fellow Taoist is now is called Baiyang, and the two islands next to it are Zimu Island and Huangshi Island. These three islands are Baiyang Immortal, Zimu Immortal and Huangshi Immortal. The practice dojo of the elders of the outer sect."

"These three islands do not allow outsiders to stay on them for a long time. Only some low-level Qi Refining disciples of our Yushui Palace can stay on the three islands, and they are not allowed to enter the area above the mountainside."

"The 39 sub-islands including the outer ones are also the training places for our inner disciples of Yushui Palace, and they are not rented out. Only the rest of the small islands are rented out. In principle, the islands closest to here have the strongest aura. As for the price, 100 yuan per year for low-grade spirit stones, if you rent them for more than ten years at a time, you can get a [-]% discount." The old man said beside Xiao Lin when he was choosing the island.

Hearing this, Xiao Lin's heart moved, and he raised his head and asked, "But I wonder if there is a market around the Falling Star Islands where we and other Foundation Establishment cultivators trade items?"

"Naturally there is a square market. In the southeast of the Falling Star Islands, about ten thousand miles away, there is a Black Stone Island. This Black Stone Island is also the site of our Yushui Palace. On it is the largest square market in the sea area hundreds of thousands of miles around. All kinds of materials and items are available, including many immortal cultivators who have submerged in the Fallen Star Islands, most of them go to the square market on Blackstone Island to buy what they need."

"So that's how it is. Thank you fellow daoist for clarifying the confusion. Xiao will choose this island." Xiao Lin pointed to a remote island due east on the sea chart, and said.

"How long do you want to rent, fellow daoist?" Seeing the island Xiao Lin chose, the old man's eyes showed a surprised expression. This island is relatively remote and far from the three major main islands. ordinary.

And around it, there are several islands that are closer to Zimu Island in the north. The person in front of him did not choose the closer island, but chose the more remote one, which made the old man a little puzzled.

But he didn't say much. After all, since the other party chose that remote island, he naturally had his own considerations. The old man didn't care about the reasons.

"Temporary lease for 20 years." After thinking for a while, Xiao Lin took out a bag of spirit stones from the storage bag and put them on the table.

The old man counted with his spiritual sense, and after confirming that it was a low-grade spirit stone of 600 yuan, he took out a black token from behind the table, and the number "128" was on the back of the token.

"This is a token for entering and exiting the island. As long as a fellow daoist drops a drop of blood on the token, you can use the token to enter and exit the island. In addition, there are a few things that you need to remind fellow daoist in advance."

After a pause, the old man continued: "There are some mortals living on every island, and the immortal cultivators who practice on it also need to assume the responsibility of protecting these mortals. Of course, in return, those mortals will donate money every year. As for some spiritual stones, as for how much to contribute, it depends on their intentions and how much their fellow Taoists help them."

Hearing this, Xiao Lin couldn't help frowning, but soon he became indifferent, since he was cultivating on that island, it was nothing to protect these mortals within the scope of his ability.

Moreover, what the old man said obviously did not mean to force it.

"Of course, under normal circumstances, those mortals can deal with a small number of mortal-level low-level and middle-level monsters by themselves. Only when there are some high-level mortal-level or even Dzogchen-level monsters, do you need friends to take action, and if it is When encountering monsters that fellow daoists are unable to catch, fellow daoists can completely withdraw and leave."

Hearing this, Xiao Lin was a little puzzled. It wasn't about the old man, who could completely withdraw from monsters that he was unable to handle, but about those mortals who were able to deal with mortal-level monsters at the beginning and middle levels.

In his opinion, even the mortal-level low-level monsters are far more powerful than ordinary beasts. It is unbelievable that ordinary mortals can fight against them. The opponent is not a monster.

But Xiao Lin didn't ask, as long as he arrived on the island, he would find someone to ask, and he would naturally know.

After going through the formalities, Xiao Lin bid farewell and left the "Xianju Pavilion". Before returning to the pier, Xiao Lin had already turned into a dark green light, flew towards the northeast, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
