Beginning to practice immortality as a refugee

Chapter 520: Mysterious Void Crystal

Wang Hu thought of the stern look of Elder Tie Gong.

When he thought that Wang Zikuan would become a small-time Iron Elder in the future, and Wang Zikuan would become Wang Ziyan, he shuddered.

"No, no... Don't give it to anyone but Elder Tiegong."

Amidst the noisy conversation, everyone decided to make preparations and go into seclusion from now on.

There are caves on each floor of the tower. Usually, people would comprehend the great Dao in the Seven-Ring Formation of Zen Sound Golden Beads. When they get tired, they would return to the caves to deepen their understanding. It is enough time for everyone to practice together.

But Lu Ye left the tower and returned to his own tower.

This time, the Zen Sound Golden Bead Seven-Ring Enlightenment Array is set up inside the Gui Baozhu Pagoda, which is more convenient.

He sent a message to Elder Tiegong.

Not long after, a beam of light came flying over, and Elder Tie Gong had arrived.

The two men greeted each other and called each other fellow Taoists.

"Brother Tie, last time I asked you to ask around in the markets, is there any information about the whereabouts of the Xuankong Crystal?"

Elder Tie Gong shook his head in shame.

"Alas, I really failed to live up to your trust."

"Perhaps our Zhongxiang Island waters are too remote, and even the nearby waters are not very prosperous."

"I know this matter must be kept secret, and I don't trust the disciples to do it."

"I changed my appearance and used the bone-shrinking technique, and went to look for it myself, but I couldn't find even one or two!"

"However, to build a set of teleportation main and secondary magic arrays, at least one pound of Xuankong crystal is needed."

"It's really worrying to death."

When building a teleportation array, of course, we cannot search for materials in a high-profile manner. Otherwise, if it gets heard by someone with ulterior motives, this secret will no longer be a secret.

Once the enemy finds the location of the formation, this life-saving formation will become a life-threatening one, so it is better not to build it.

Therefore, the first priority in this matter is to keep it confidential.

Elder Tiegong has actually been mainly busy with this matter recently. Fortunately, Master Lu is the only one in the nearby waters and is very popular. There are not so many troubles on the island, otherwise he really wouldn't be able to spare the time.

However, after searching for a while, he found nothing, which made him feel very guilty.

"Friends on the railway, you can't force things. The waters of our Zhongxiang Island are remote. If it weren't so remote, we wouldn't have chosen to settle here."

"I know about this matter. Don't worry about it. I will raise the relevant materials myself."

The two of them turned around and talked about other things on the island.

Elder Tie Gong mentioned the eight hundred disciples on the island.

Over the past eight years, dozens of these disciples have died for various reasons, and a new batch of people have joined them. Now, there are actually more than a thousand of them.

Among them, about a hundred disciples were the old masters, and the remaining disciples, about 600 in total, were Qi-cultivating disciples who were captured from other sea areas and had clean origins, no ties, and no complicated backgrounds.

There are also more than a hundred disciples from the three families of Qi, Wan and Shen. After all, they are the first batch of old ministers to surrender. Now that Lu Ye has achieved Yuanying, they must be given hope of following him.

The remaining two hundred disciples came from various foundation-building families in the surrounding waters. They all sent their most outstanding disciples to the island, hoping to show their faces in front of Master Lu.

Once you achieve success in your practice, it will bring honor to the family.

These small families do not ask for much. If they can get some help from Master Lu and the disciples they send to the island can become foundation builders, it will be a great help to the family.

Now, thousands of disciples are practicing peacefully, and everything is on the right track.

In addition, there is the foreign Jindan guest elder Cang Qiuke who settled in Bilang Island. He has been very honest in the past eight years and has been practicing every day.

If there is any need to recruit on the island, they can come at any time. There is nothing wrong with that. According to Qi Yue'er, Shen Shujian and Wan Huohulu who were exiled to the island, they are very law-abiding.

Lu Ye nodded to indicate that he understood.

Elder Tie Gong suggested again.

"Friend Lu, I have something else to say but I don't know if I should say it..."

Lu Ye smiled and said, "Fellow Taoist, please feel free to speak."

Elder Tie Gong was shocked.

"There are a thousand disciples on the island now. It's really hard for me to handle them all by myself."

"Qi Shenwan and the other two were once the foundation-building clan leaders. They were removed from their positions as clan leaders and sent to Bilang Island to work as errand boys for nearly nine years."

"Why not call them back to our island and make them elders to help me manage all the disciples..."

"These three islands are right under the nose of our Zhongxiang Island. They will not and dare not betray us."

"I'll be fair."

"The last time Zhongxiang Island was attacked by robbers, there was a Yuanying with three Jindan. With such fighting power, they hesitated to move forward. It was already good enough that they surrounded the periphery of the island instead of fleeing without a fight."

Elder Tie Gong had something else to say.

After all, this island is the foundation of Master Lu, although the other party politely calls him fellow Taoist and they are friends as equals.

He did not forget that he was just a foundation-building cultivator. If his sea of ​​​​qi had not been shattered back then, he would have been just a golden elixir cultivator by chance now, and there would still be a gap of two major realms between him and the other party.

Elder Tiegong has a clear mind. When others give you face, it is called face, but he also knows how to advance and retreat.

Thousands of disciples on the island all obey him, and core members such as Pan Wang, Zhang Shu, Gui Lan, etc. will all be put into seclusion again.

He is in a high position and has great power, but it is too much power, so it would be better to distribute it a little bit. Therefore, he recommended Qi Wanshen and the other two. Of course, he also believed that the three of them would never betray Nakago Island, so he dared to make this recommendation.

Lu Ye laughed loudly and his eyes swept over Elder Tie Gong as if he could see through him.

"Okay, fellow railwayman, I'll do as you say."

"Call back these three people and let them be the elders in charge of records, punishment, and affairs."

"You can assign them specific positions or make adjustments."

"Fellow Daoist, you and I have known each other for many years. No matter how high the cultivation level of the outsider is, I only trust you..."

Elder Tie Gong bowed with tears of gratitude, and the two chatted for a while before he took his leave.

There was only Lu Ye left in the cave.

He suddenly smiled. As his cultivation level improved and he became the master of a region, the people below him began to become more concerned.

In fact, Elder Tiegong overestimated his dedication to this foundation.

But since he wants to take the initiative to delegate power, let him do it.

Lu Ye changed his mind and put these trivial matters behind him, and began to think about the Xuankong Crystal.

Where can I get a pound of Xuankong Crystal?
He could afford the spirit stones, but it was annoying when he couldn't get anything.

However, he always felt uneasy until the teleportation array was set up.

Suddenly Lu Ye remembered that he didn’t know, but he had a good consultant.

He waved his long sleeves, and a jade bottle flew out of the storage ring. The mouth of the bottle pointed downward, and immediately a green light flew out from it.

This ball of light fell to the ground and turned a few times, then turned into the image of a fat merchant with a sad face and about a foot long. Pure green light was emitting from the outside, and it was actually a pure Nascent Soul body.

This person is none other than one of the vice-leaders of the Dragon Snatching Alliance captured by Lu Ye, Venerable Hai Jing, also known as the leader of the Seven Nights Society, True Man Hei Ye. Venerable Hai Jing is the head of dozens of sea areas in the Four Seas Tower, with a high position and power, and his cultivation has reached the late Nascent Soul stage. Apart from a few old guys in the Four Seas Tower, he has almost reached the top.

He also specializes in the circulation of commercial goods.

It's never wrong to ask him about this.

As soon as Venerable Hai Jing's Nascent Soul body landed on the ground, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed.

"I have met my master..."

He has none of the dignity of a Nascent Soul Master.

Anyone who saw with his own eyes another captured Nascent Soul Du Wan being refined into the Nascent Soul Evil Sword would be terrified to the depths of his soul, right?
So death is not scary. Falling into the hands of a cultivator with a variety of tricks is something more scary than death.

“Venerable Hai Jing, you are also a Yuanying master, you have your own dignity, raise your head, rest assured, I will not kill you…”

Lu Ye has already become an infant at this moment, so he naturally has the confidence to speak like this.

At the beginning, he had reached the Great Perfection of the Golden Core, so he could not tolerate Du Wan and Venerable Hai Jing; now that he has become a Nascent Soul, of course he does not take a mere Nascent Soul body seriously.

Venerable Hai Jing looked up in surprise when he heard this.

He looked at the Taoist who had imprisoned him for nearly nine years. His whole body was glowing with green light, his magical power was like the abyss of the ocean, and his spiritual awareness was so powerful that it was everywhere and yet nowhere. It was indeed that he had cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage.

He hurriedly congratulated his master, but he felt a little relaxed in his heart - the master had achieved the Nascent Soul stage, so he had many means to fight the enemy, and he should not refine me into the Nascent Soul Evil Sword.

He was also horrified. Nine years ago, he saw that this person was only at the Great Perfection of Golden Core. He thought that in order to reach the Nascent Soul stage, it would take at least fifty to one hundred years, biding one's time, honing and refining the mysterious body, and accumulating resources.

Who would have thought that he would be able to successfully break through the Nascent Soul stage in just eight or nine years.

hiss……

According to the intelligence from Sihailou, it seems that the geniuses of each faction such as Yin Yijia, Shuai Bufan, Hong He, Long Bing, Jian Qiuyi, Nangong Xing, Jin Tianwang, and Wan Caiyi are not as fast as him, right?

How could this kid be so terrifying?
Lu Ye asked directly regardless of his mood.

"Hai Jing, I want to build a teleportation array and need Xuankong Crystals. Where can I get them?"

Venerable Hai Jing replied without hesitation.

"In reply to the master, eight thousand miles north of Zhongxiang Island is the southern main building of Sihai Tower, where Xuankong Crystals are for sale."

He paused for a moment and lowered his voice a few notches.

"However, because Xuankong Crystal is used to build a teleportation array, it is strictly controlled. First of all, you must be the most distinguished guest of Sihailou, and you must also be guaranteed by a large sect. The share of each transaction is not much..."

"I'm afraid this path won't work for the master."

The teleportation array can not only be used to save your life and escape, but can also be used for attack.

If there is someone with great connections who can bribe an internal spy and quickly build a teleportation sub-array in the enemy's heartland, he can bypass the outer defense array of the mountain gate and appear in the core position of the enemy and capture all of its top leaders in one fell swoop. How can we fight this war?
This kind of thing has happened before. Obviously, the two feuding sects were of similar strength, but the Sixth Sect Leader had accumulated a batch of Xuankong Crystals, and selected his trusted disciples to change their appearances, hide their identities, and join the enemy sect as a disciple.

In this way, hundreds of years later, that disciple also became a high-level official. He brought the sub-array transmission disk and placed the Xuankong Crystal in place. Then, with the help of both inside and outside forces, he brought the support from his own sect into the sect, bypassed the defense formation directly, and destroyed the enemy sect.

This kind of thing happened many times over a period of time, so the transaction of Xuankong Crystal is now particularly restricted. The so-called guarantee from a big sect is not a guarantee, but actually surveillance, to ensure that the Xuankong Crystal you use is not targeting a big sect.

The most prominent top sect in the south is the Void Valley, where the Buddha Conference sent the peerless genius Yin Yiji.

The next largest sect is the Nanliu Sect headed by Nangong Xing.

Both of them made it to the final stage of the battle on Futu Island. Because the fight between Prince Long Bing and Prince Hong He was too brutal, Yin Yiji won the first place and Nangong Xing ranked sixth.

In the entire southern sea area, no matter who goes to Sihai Tower to buy Xuankong Crystal, they need the approval of Xukong Valley and Nanliu Sect before they can buy it.

Lu Ye shook his head when he heard this.

If you want to keep something confidential, you must keep it secret from any outsiders. If it gets out, what is the point of it being a secret?
What about Void Valley and Nanliu Sect?

As long as these two factions know about it, it is possible that someone will take the opportunity to do something.

Du Wan is one of the Seven Sons of Futu Island. Isn't he also doing things that harm the public interest and do things behind people's backs?
Besides, he was not a top VIP of Sihailou, and Sihailou was too stingy to supply him with goods.

This formal channel is not appropriate.

"Hai Jing..." Lu Ye slowly took out a black wooden stick, "Think about it again, is there any other way?"

"I think you should remember it."

There is nothing special about this stick.

The black stick felt heavy in the hand, and its aura was icy cold. When the stick appeared, the temperature in the cave dropped a lot.

Except for the cushion where Lu Ye was sitting cross-legged, a thin layer of black ice was slowly forming everywhere else.

Venerable Hai Jing's eyes jumped when he saw the wooden stick.

Three thousand years old ghost tree!
At the beginning, Du Wan was given this material and then refined it into the Nascent Soul Sword!

He screamed, his mind working frantically.

"Yes, yes, yes - Master, I have thought of another way."

"There is a place where you don't need to verify your identity or provide a guarantee. As long as you have spirit stones, you can buy Xuankong Crystals. But you have to take some risks..."

Lu Ye became interested and urged him to speak quickly.

Venerable Hai Jing hesitated.

In fact, Sihailou is also a middleman who does resale business. It does not produce Xuankong Crystal itself, but collects it from other places.

However, the source of this stuff was not glorious; it came from the fourth biggest thief among the Thirty-Six Thieves, Kong Kong Xiucai.

Lu Ye became alert when he heard this.

The fifth thief was the Thousand-Faced Judge, who had reached the late Nascent Soul stage. He had seen how sharp the Judge’s pens were.

The fact that he was able to fight against Qingyangzi, the eldest disciple of Futu Island who possessed the Mountain-Shocking Seal, shows how strong he is.

Scholar Kong Kong is ranked before the Thousand-Faced Judge, which shows how powerful he is. In Madam Jiuchai's memory, if they were to fight head-on, she could easily defeat Scholar Kong Kong, but if the opponent escaped, she could do nothing about it.

Venerable Hai Jing was still there, honestly giving out information.

Kong Kong Xiucai's escape speed within a few miles is the fastest among the thirty-six thieves, so he is very good at fighting with others. He is sharp in close combat and will escape if he cannot win, and he can also leave others far behind.

He also has the Kong Kong Ruyi Hand Kung Fu and wears a pair of leather gloves.

He once sparred with a fellow Yuanying initial stage practitioner at a banquet. In a head-on fight with the opponent, he defeated the opponent badly and at the same time used his magical hands to empty the contents of the opponent's storage ring, which shows how powerful he is.

Scholar Kong Kong is skilled in flying, breaking restrictions and formations, and he likes to steal people's treasures. He is different from other thieves in that he does not like to rob shipping fleets. He usually goes directly to the island where the sect family is located and sneaks into the formation to steal.

Usually, the victimized families and clans didn’t even know Scholar Kong Kong had been there until their treasury was empty.

He once emptied most of the treasury of the Nanliu Sect, a major sect in the East China Sea, in one night. He revealed his whereabouts, but he was able to escape with only minor injuries. He is really a difficult person to deal with.

To all the sects in the East China Sea, this person is a notorious figure.

Venerable Hai Jing explained that Scholar Kong Kong owned a Xuan Kong Crystal Vein that could produce Xuan Kong Crystals stably, and that Si Hai Lou was actually purchased from him.

If the master wants to buy Xuankong Crystal without any trouble, Venerable Hai Jing remembers several businesses under Kongkong Xiucai that can be contacted, and he also knows where his lair is.

He is just a robber and a thief who has never had any credibility.

If you are strong, then it will be a fair trade. If you are weak, your storage ring will become my storage ring.

shopping?
He might even have to leave behind his Nascent Soul body to pay off his debts, and lose both his life and his goods. Therefore, there are not many cultivators who dare to do business with him.
