Ugly Cultivation Notes

Xu Chunniang was certain in her heart that she would tell her what she had seen and heard about coming to Heiyu Island.

"When I came to Heiyu Island, I took a fishing boat. There was no formation protection on the fishing boat. Most of the people in the boat were ordinary people. Occasionally there were two or three monks, and they were only at the first or second level of Qi training."

Patriarch Lin nodded slightly, "Although they are mortals, they are the islanders of my Heiyu Island, and they are also the foundation of our monks."

Xu Chunniang nodded in agreement. The monk embarked on the road of cultivation, but in essence, he is a mortal.

It's just that many monks have obtained supernatural powers, forgetting that they were once ordinary people who ate whole grains, and they have a sense of superiority.

"I agree with Patriarch Lin's words. But I have seen that half of the fishermen's hard-earned earnings have to pay taxes. I was on a small island in Xuanzhou before, and I have never heard of taxes."

Patriarch Lin gave a wry smile when he heard the words. Heiyu Island has such a heavy taxation, which is not what he wants to see.

"Fellow Daoist Xu only knows one thing but not the other. In order to prevent and resist the attack of sea monsters, my Heiyu Island needs to spend a lot of spirit stones in formations and barriers every year. This has caused my island's spirit stones to make ends meet all year round. , The government treasury is short of money.

Asking mortals to pay taxes is actually a helpless move.Moreover, the taxes on the island are not only paid by mortals, monks also need to pay taxes or serve, and even more so by mortals. "

Patriarch Lin spoke slowly, telling the difficulties on the island.

Heiyu Island is remote, poor, and needs to pay taxes and serve in the military. Many high-level monks who have established a foundation are very dissatisfied with this, feeling that their practice has been dragged down.

They didn't want to stay on Heiyu Island, and wanted to leave after saving enough spirit stones.

Their departure further exacerbated the plight of the island. As a result, most of the monks and mortals on the island became poorer and their taxes became heavier, leading to today's situation.

Xu Chunniang immediately understood that the combination of river and ice did not happen in a day;

But in the final analysis, the reason is that the spiritual energy of Heiyu Island is too poor, and there are no spiritual objects around.

The potential crisis of the sea monster tide overwhelmed the people on the island.

After a moment of silence, Xu Chunniang spoke slowly.

"There are so many monsters in the sea, can we go out to the sea to kill monsters to obtain resources? One can ease the pressure of resource scarcity, and the other can eliminate monsters and reduce the harm of future beast tides.

I heard that there is a man named Li Yuan in the mansion, who has a sixth-level qi training monk but has never gone to sea. With his cultivation base, he may be able to deal with sea monsters in the middle stage of qi training. "

Patriarch Lin sighed inwardly. He had already organized the method of going out to kill monsters in the sea mentioned by the other party several times in these years.

"There are monsters in the sea mixed with fish and dragons, and there are all kinds of cultivation. If you are lucky to go out to kill monsters in the sea, that's all. If you are not lucky, the whole army may be wiped out.

As for the junior named Li Yuan you mentioned, I have an impression of him.Ever since he went out to sea three years ago and was almost eaten by a foundation-building sea snake, he has had a shadow on going out to sea. "

Xu Chunniang was dumbfounded, she didn't know that this happened to Li Yuan.

She recalled the incident of the goshawk killing the cat that she saw just now, and she realized it in her heart.

Many times, what the eyes see is the truth, but these truths have causes and effects.

The goshawk kills the cat because seeing is believing, but if the white cat hadn't killed the young eagle first, how could the goshawk kill the cat for no reason.

What she saw at Uncle Li's house was Li Yuan, a monk who practiced Qi at the sixth level, and he took for granted what Uncle Li had earned from his hard work.

But if it weren't for Uncle Li's indulgence, and Li Yuan's fear of falling into Shekou when he went out to kill monsters in the sea, the matter would not have developed to this point.

Just like Heiyu Island has been poor for many years, if it is unable to make changes, it will only become poorer and poorer in the long run.

Xu Chunniang said sternly, "Heiyu Island is peaceful right now, but people who have no foresight must have near-term worries. For the long-term plan, Patriarch Lin needs to make changes as soon as possible."

"Fellow Daoist said, why don't I know? It's just that I have more heart than strength. Although I have a golden core cultivation base, it's too difficult to change it with my own strength."

Patriarch Lin sighed softly. He has devoted himself to the development of the island these years.

But facing the status quo, there is really no good way.

"The aura around Heiyu Island is too barren. Gathering spirits and turning them into energy will not be achieved overnight. Only by bringing in a spiritual vein, or relying on many high-level spirit gathering arrays, can the situation be improved."

Xu Chunniang's heart moved slightly, she could do nothing about the spirit veins, but she could try the advanced spirit gathering array.

Although learning and arranging formations may take a little time.

But learning the high-level spirit-gathering array is also of great benefit to her.

"To be honest, I'm actually a third-level formation mage, but I don't have the formation method of the third-level spirit-gathering formation at hand. If Patriarch Lin is willing to provide the specific formation method and all the materials, maybe I can give it a try. .”

Before she finished speaking, Patriarch Lin's slightly dim eyes burst out with surprise.

"Xu Daoyou is serious? Are you really a third-level formation master?"

After asking, he felt inappropriate, and quickly added.

"Of course, it's not that I don't believe you. It's just that Fellow Daoist Xu doesn't look very old. It's very rare to become a Jindan real person. I don't want you to have such achievements in the formation."

The Golden Core cultivators on Heiyu Island can be counted with a single slap, and among them, there is not even a third-level formation master.

The three-level large formations on the island have existed for many years, and some problems have appeared more or less.

If she really has this formation technique attainment and is willing to make a move, then it would be the luck of Heiyudao!
Xu Chunniang nodded slightly, not minding the questioning.

"Setting up the formation is not a trivial matter. It's normal for Patriarch Lin not to be credulous, but I am indeed a formation mage, and I broke through the third level not long ago."

With a simple move, a small array disk and eight array flags appeared in the palm of her hand.

Xu Chunniang held the array board, controlled the eight array flags, and shot towards the eight gates of the array.

At the moment when all the array flags were put back in place, Patriarch Lin sensed that there was an invisible protective cover in the hall, covering the entire hall.

"This is... the third-level five-element defense array!"

Patriarch Lin's eyes shot out with brilliance, and there was a hint of excitement on his face.

"Xu Daoyou sincerely does not deceive me, he is indeed a high-level formation master! Please wait here for a while, fellow daoist, let me send someone to go to the treasury to get the formation bone book and all the materials!"

After finishing speaking, he took out the sea order and issued an order, and then waited.

When the two were discussing in the hall, Lin Qi in the side hall got a little impatient.

He ate up all the pastries and spiritual tea on the small table, and there was nothing else to do, so he had to find a topic to talk about.

"Sister, that...what is the background of the female senior? Is it someone my grandfather knew before?"

"I don't know. But it shouldn't be."

Fourth Miss Lin held a book in her left hand and was reading it carefully, her eyes didn't move even the slightest bit after hearing this.
