Beginning to practice immortality as a refugee

Chapter 517: Aftermath (Part )

The lords of the sea areas waited anxiously for several days.

News came one after another.

Not only did Master Lu not expand, he even gave up the three conquered sea areas of Prawn, Black Mountain, and Fire Cloud, as well as the Bilang Island, and wanted to auction them off to the masters of the surrounding sea areas.

The method is flexible, the one with the highest price wins; or if there is a casual cultivator who is willing to swear an oath to serve the Immortal diligently and shed blood and sweat to be his subordinate for a hundred years, the Immortal will even be willing to give it to him for free.

The auction will be held at Lu Zhenren's Infant Ceremony in half a month, and guests from all over the world are welcome to come to the island to bid.

Internally, he only sent people to occupy Bilang Island and accepted the surrender of 72 local island owners.

Master Lu is obviously not the radical type who is aggressive towards the outside world. He only fences off his home and unifies his own island and waters, and has no intention of expanding outward.

The lords of the surrounding seas breathed a sigh of relief, and then they all selected expensive gifts to please Master Lu and could not slack off.

At the same time, they are all ready to go.

Master Lu was very generous and immediately released four main islands that were large enough for golden elixir cultivation. Three of the main islands also had complete sea areas.

If you can win the bid and manage it well, how much wealth can you squeeze out in the future?
So half a month later, everyone rushed to the Luye Infant Becoming Ceremony with valuable gifts, hoping to make a good impression first.

After a fight.

Compared to freedom, all cultivators would rather spend spirit stones.

After all, everyone knows that free things are the most valuable.

The three sea areas of Prawn, Black Mountain and Fire Cloud have changed their owners respectively.

There was only one casual cultivator named Cang Qiuke, who had achieved the golden elixir stage after going through untold hardships, but could not find the spiritual island that could provide the resources for his golden elixir practice.

After listening to Master Lu's deeds, he made up his mind and was willing to pay the price of a hundred years of freedom and be Master Lu's subordinate in exchange for the exclusive right to the spiritual vein of the main peak of Bilang Island.

So Master Lu readily agreed and signed an oath with him.

As long as Cang Qiu Ke guards and fights for him for a hundred years and allows him to be ordered at his command, this Bilang Island will belong to Cang Qiu Ke after a hundred years.

Of course, correspondingly, during the hundred years, Cang Qiu Ke possessed all the resources for cultivating immortals on Bilang Island and also had exclusive control over the spiritual veins.

In addition, Lu Ye would not arrange for him to perform a mission that would ensure his death.

At the same time, at the suggestion of Elder Tie Gong, among the captured disciples of the four islands, those with the blood of Nakagoshima on their hands must not be spared and must be killed.

Then, among the remaining disciples, he picked out those with clean backgrounds, whose cultivation had not reached the foundation-building stage, and who had no connection with the disciples who had been beheaded previously. He picked out more than 700 people and recruited them under Nakagoshima's command.

As a result, Nakago Island had eight hundred disciples.

The various foundation-building families on the newly affiliated 72 islands of the outer Zhongxiang Island can gather more than 3,000 cultivators to be commanded by Master Lu.

Lu Ye originally didn't want to support so many people.

Elder Tie Gong was particularly insistent: "Fellow Daoist, you are now a Nascent Soul cultivator, and you have too few subordinates. This is a loss of face for you."

For a true cultivator, even if he has just been promoted to the Nascent Soul stage, eight hundred direct disciples and three thousand vassals cannot be less.

A Yuanying cultivator has the pomp and dignity of a Yuanying cultivator.

Lu Ye had no choice but to nod in agreement.

In fact, for him, it just felt like there were eight hundred more mouths to feed, which was just two words: trouble...

Therefore, he would rather summon another Jindan subordinate to cooperate with Elder Tiegong to take charge of all matters.

Cang Qiu is the guest master who is responsible for the face of the Zhongxiang Island waters and is also the liaison with the owners of the 72 islands.

Gui Baozhu is in charge of Zhongxiang Island, and Elder Tiegong handles mundane affairs, which can preserve the core of the island.

The lords of the outermost sea areas all purchased islands from Lu Ye, so the relationship is naturally not bad. They are responsible for early warning and can at least report any dangerous situations.

This way, from warning from the periphery, resisting the enemy from the inside, to protecting the core, this is the triple protection method.

Of course, the only drawback is that in its own waters, Bilang Island is actually in the center, while Zhongxiang Island is a bit remote.

But there is no way, this is how nature has created it. Who made it so that there is no third-level spiritual vein for Lu Ye to practice on Bilang Island?
Now that he was already a Nascent Soul cultivator, even with the use of a spirit gathering formation, the second-tier spiritual vein on Bilang Island was only enough for a Golden Core cultivator to practice, and could not support the spiritual energy resources he needed for his daily practice.

In addition, Qi Yue'er, Wan Huohu and Shen Shujian also had a place to go. At the suggestion of Elder Tiegong, they were also exiled to Bilang Island to serve as subordinates of Cangqiu Ke.

Elder Tiegong considered the long-term and was afraid that Cangqiuke was unreliable, so he arranged for these three people to go there as a way to plant three nails.

In this way, I was busy for several months before I finally got all the troublesome matters done.

He sold the three Jindan Islands and the surrounding waters, plus the gifts received from the Infant Ceremony.

Shu Chitu counted the treasures collected in the warehouse and was overjoyed. Not only had he recovered the losses he had suffered from the invasion of the robbers, but he also gained dozens of times more.

Lu Ye secluded himself for eight years. After he came out and became a baby, he spent several months reuniting with Pan Furong in Furong's tent, comforting his good companion, drinking and singing with several sworn brothers, and taking care of the mundane affairs of the island.

Only then did he go into seclusion again, carefully reviewing his achievements during his breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage.

This day.

He sat cross-legged in the cave, opened his mouth and spurted out, and immediately a metal ball jumped out.

It was the Killing Slash, his natal magic weapon, that had blocked part of the power of the heavenly thunder.

After this magic weapon was struck by thunder, fortune and disaster were interdependent.

On the one hand, half of the material was lost due to evaporation, and on the other hand, the impurities inside were tempered by lightning, which was equivalent to quenching with heavenly thunder, and also gave birth to spiritual intelligence.

Lu Ye has not done anything else in the past few months, except practicing the Immovable and Indestructible Spirit Sutra on time every day, repeatedly practicing the Sky-Escape Sword Art, and familiarizing himself with the Sutra of the Bodhisattva of Rescue.

He spent nearly half of his day stimulating the infant fire and warming up his damaged life magic weapon.

As soon as the ball jumped out, it was like a child clinging to its parents. Without Lu Ye's instructions, it circled around his body.

He also flew over slowly and rubbed Lu Ye's fingers and arms to show affection.

Ordinary magic weapons are not so agile. Only the top-grade magic weapons in the hands of Yuanying Great Perfection cultivators, which have been nurtured for hundreds of years and have begun to develop a trace of intelligence, can act like this. However, none of them have such an autonomous spirit as the Killing Slash.

Knowledge within the sea.

Ah Chou suddenly felt a sense of crisis, as if something was trying to take his place as a spiritual pet.

It jumped quickly and flew out of the sea of ​​consciousness.

After not seeing it for several months, it has completely absorbed the power of the heavenly thunder, its escape speed has increased, and its penetrating power has doubled. It is almost time for it to transform into a dormant state again.

That's why it is more anxious.

Our own people know our own business. When it sleeps, shouldn’t it be calculated by years?

It may have been as short as three or two years or as long as seven or eight years, and all of these things have happened.

If I fall asleep and some other slutty bitch takes my position as a spiritual pet, that would not be a good thing.

So it jumped out of Lu Ye's sea of ​​consciousness impatiently.

It turned out to be a metal ball spinning around its owner, acting like a spoiled child.

Achou was furious and flew up to fight with it - this had previously been exclusive to it, so how could it tolerate others coming to share it?

Although this metal ball also has the aura of its owner, who cares? Let's just defeat it first.

Even if they have the same master, their subordinates must be ranked accordingly!

Dangdang Dangdang!
Lu Ye hasn't reacted yet.

Dense sparks burst out around his body and splashed in the void.

Achou is invisible and intangible, and the cultivators cannot catch him with their naked eyes. Even if they use their spiritual sense to see him, they cannot keep up with his speed.

It attacked the metal ball invisibly.

But the Killing Slash is the root of the magic weapon, it will develop its own intelligence, and according to the gift from the Heavenly Thunder Avenue, it will spontaneously jump to protect its master and kill the enemy.

Achou is hostile to it, so it will fight back. The former's various magical powers such as invisibility, lightning strike, sharpness, and life-shortening are completely useless against the Killing Slash.

By the time Lu Ye reacted, the two had already exchanged more than ten moves. Fortunately, Ah Chou was sharp and tenacious, and Sha Sheng Zhan was also tough and sharp, so the two were evenly matched.

"Stop! Stop!"

Lu Ye screamed in pain, and his magic power surged out, immobilizing the two.

"My dear, what are you doing?"

"Just a few days into our prosperous life, we are already at war with each other?"

"Open your eyes carefully and look, you are half brothers!"

"Why did you start fighting?"

He criticized the two, withheld Ah Chou's next round of wine offerings, punished him with killing, and prohibited him from serving the infant fire bubble bath for ten days.

After Achou and Shashengzhan were each captured, they finally stopped and behaved.

Once it returned to the Longjiang River, it was ready to transform and be reborn so that it could help its master and regain the position of the top spiritual pet. It didn't want to be a half-brother to that cold metal lump.

Yi Guilu was spinning around in Luye's palm, feeling very aggrieved - he was just a baby, who had just come out of the warmth of the infant fire in his Nascent Soul body and had already suffered a heavy blow, and it was caused by his own family.

Shashengzhan felt a little wilted. It wanted to go home, to return to the warm nest of the baby fire. The world outside was too cruel.

Lu Ye has turned into a strict father at this moment, how can he tolerate his son's slacking off?

He input his magic power to control it forcibly, and according to his mind, the Killing Slash transformed into a long sword, without a hilt or guard, with no front or back, and sword tips at both ends.

At this time, there were seven puppets placed in a vertical line in front of Lu Ye, with each puppet no more than half a foot apart.

These are just Qi training puppets, and they cannot withstand any of the sword energy he releases. However, they have been of great use to him in his practice these days.

"go with!"

Lu Ye shouted, and the Killing Slash flew straight to the front of the first puppet, but the moment the sword made contact, as soon as the tip of the sword touched the iron armor on the puppet's body, it disappeared into the void.

Looking at the armor again, there was not even a scratch.

You have to know that this is a Qi training-level puppet, and it cannot withstand the slightest vibration of the killing weapon that can slash Nascent Souls, which is enough to destroy it.

However, the Killing Slash was able to escape into the void after receiving it, which showed Lu Ye's mastery of the sword art of escaping into the void.

next moment.

Then I saw the killing sword flashing in the void.

If seen by outsiders, they would only see a sword light shooting straight through.

However, the first, third, fifth and seventh puppets were all safe and sound, while the second, fourth and sixth puppets were smashed to pieces one after another, and the Life-Slaying Slash disappeared into the void when it touched the seventh puppet...

Lu Ye stretched out two fingers at the right time and raised them in the air.

hum!
Between the two fingers, the killing sword that had disappeared in the void appeared.

It seemed to emerge from the void, and the tip and body of the sword appeared one after another.

Lu Ye looked delighted.

I have made some progress in the art of the Dunkong Sword and finally mastered it!
This move of rapidly swinging the sword in a straight line seems simple, but it is actually the most difficult. Now that he has mastered it, it means that he has achieved some success in this technique - the initial stage of Nascent Soul. The sword flies out of the void and kills the enemy instantly.

He waved his hand again, and dozens of Qi-training puppets appeared around the cave.

Lu Ye closed his eyes.

Killing Slash jumped into the void and disappeared, but only a little sword light was seen in front of each Qi-training puppet. These dozens of Qi-training puppets were reduced to ashes and completely destroyed.

He nodded with satisfaction and changed his spell. His mind changed and the Killing Slash disappeared into the void. The next moment, he attacked Lu Ye's head at full speed.

Lu Ye's body shook, and a meter-high white shadow of a powerful Vajra Dharma body appeared around his body to protect him.

The Killing Slash flashed inside and was about to stab Lu Ye directly.

However, it crashed head-on into the powerful Vajra Dharma body outside Lu Ye's body. Although the Dharma body was an illusion, it collided head-on with the book and produced sparks, as well as a harsh sound of metallic friction.

However, the Killing Slash was extremely sharp. After a few breaths of stalemate, the sword energy flashed and cut the Vajra body in half, almost piercing through Lu Ye's body.

Lu Ye's eyes moved, and the golden wheel halo of merit behind the spiritual body in his sea of ​​consciousness spun wildly.

At the same time, a brilliant golden wheel appeared behind the head of the Vajra Dharma Body that suppressed demons from the outside world, and it was spinning wildly. Countless golden lights sprinkled down, dyeing the pale white Dharma Body with a faint golden edge.

Shashengzhan felt like he was trapped in a swamp. He struggled for a while, but the more he went in, the greater the resistance became. He was intelligent enough to try to get out and finally escaped.

Lu Ye nodded with satisfaction.

This is the second gain after becoming an infant.

The demon-suppressing Vajra body has two forms. The first form has amazing defensive power and can withstand attacks from ordinary magic weapons.

Of course, it is inevitable to encounter sharp magic weapons. In that case, with the blessing of the Golden Wheel of Merit, the power of the Vajra body that can suppress demons will be greatly increased, and the defense will be as strong as the top-level defense magic weapons.

This is only the first wonderful use of the Golden Wheel of Merit. Lu Ye has not yet figured out its other uses.

Lu Ye practiced it and was satisfied with taking back the powerful Vajra body that could suppress demons.

There is still a worry that the magic weapon may be damaged, but this Vajra Body is a top-notch body-refining method, which is a method that one will naturally master after achieving minor success in the Bodhisattva Rescue Sutra.

As long as you have enough magic power, you don't have to worry about not being able to use this magic body, or about it being contaminated or damaged.

Lu Ye closed his eyes and changed his technique.

A purple-gold eyelid suddenly appeared in the middle of his forehead. When the eyelid opened, a sharp vertical eye appeared. It was the Jingjue Hunyuan Ci technique that he was practicing.

Purple lightning spikes flew out from the vertical eyes and circled around the road.

One, two, three...seventeen, eighteen!

The original upper limit of the number of Jing Jue Hunyuan Needles was only nine, and no practitioner in history had ever been able to exceed this number.

Lu Ye also sought a breakthrough, but all ended in failure.

However, after being struck by the Yuanshen Heavenly Thunder this time, the spirit body in the body evolved and connected into two heads, four arms and four legs, leaving only the torso connected.

In addition to the doubling of spiritual awareness.

Lu Ye also discovered that the convulsions that had been bothering him for a long time, the limit of the nine Hunyuan thorns, had actually been broken through.

Double the quantity, double the happiness.

Lu Ye thought about it and felt that it might have nothing to do with the powerful spiritual consciousness. What was important was the undifferentiated dual spirit bodies, which should be the mysterious and magical function of the primordial spirit.

Unfortunately, all the previous practitioners had their skills backfired by the demons halfway through their practice, and no one had ever been able to achieve the state of becoming a god.

"Very good, very good..."

Lu Ye looked at the eighteen Convulsion Hunyuan Spears rotating around him, each of them was thick and long.

It was as thin as a hair before, but now it is at least as thin as a toothpick.

If I fight with others in the future, and stab the enemy with eighteen toothpicks one by one without him saying a word, would that be considered powerful?

Lu Ye took careful inventory.

For defense, there is the Great Vajra Body that can suppress demons; for killing enemies, there is the Instant Kill Sword of the Sky-Escape Sword combined with the Killing Slash of the initial spiritual wisdom.

Dingshen has eighteen shocking Hunyuan needles, and Achou's invisible can give a person a final blow and shorten his lifespan.

They are conjoined spirits, and their already powerful spiritual awareness has been doubled.

Lu Ye touched his chin.

Is this me?
He looked inside himself, left and right, and only saw two words... strong.

Lu Ye sighed with emotion.

Before I knew it, I had become a big boss...
