I seek immortality by chance

Chapter 308: Burning Cloud Golden Frog, another chance? !

"Giant clam?"

Gu Yuan was slightly surprised.

He had seen this thing in the classics of Qianlang Sect. It was an extremely strange spiritual object.

Although it is said to be a living creature, it has low intelligence and only has instincts.

It is said to be a dead object, but it can move on its own and escape to all directions, and is very good at hiding its tracks.

It is a rare thing that is born by chance.

This creature devours the spiritual energy of water veins, spiritual stones and minerals, almost everything, and then nurtures a jade bead in its shell.

This pearl can make the heavenly calamity flow back and all things avoid it. It is a precious treasure for avoiding calamity. With the help of this item, any cultivator's chances of surviving the calamity will be greatly increased.

Not only that, the shell of this giant clam is like an ordinary stone and can avoid all spiritual detection, and even the deduction methods of great monks.

If one were to use this giant clam shell to make a treasure, one would certainly be able to create a magical weapon with an extraordinary concealment ability.

Gu Yuan didn't expect that the opportunity offered by the sloppy Taoist would be this thing, and judging from its location, it seemed to be very far away from here.

I don't know how this person was found.

As if he knew what Gu Yuan was wondering, the sloppy Taoist quickly replied, "Master, you don't know. I am an insect cultivator. In order to feed my spirit insects, I have to travel around and look for all kinds of insect holes."

"This giant clam was discovered accidentally by one of Xiaodao's spirit insects when he was searching for a cave several months ago."

"But at that time, the giant clam was motionless and was pregnant with a pearl. I didn't dare to take it away by force. I could only secretly note its location and use a spirit insect to guard it, preparing to take the pearl after it was finished pregnant."

“Then I saw Shuifu appear and met the master!”

As he spoke, the sloppy Taoist couldn't help but flash a sigh in his eyes, feeling a little helpless.

When the jade clam is pregnant with a pearl, one must not move or interfere, otherwise all efforts will fail and the pearl will not be conceived. So he can only wait, but it is a good thing that he waited, otherwise if there was no opportunity that day, he would have to wait to die.

"Although the water quality requirements of the Huiyu giant clam are extremely high, if there is a vast lake and the water veins are maintained, it can be caught and raised."

“Although it is a little difficult for this giant clam to produce a pearl, a jade pearl will be born in about three hundred years. With the power of this pearl, it will definitely help cultivators overcome tribulations. With this giant clam in hand, it is the best choice for me, whether it is to exchange for spiritual food or to train my subordinates!”

As if he was afraid that Gu Yuan would be dissatisfied with this opportunity, the sloppy Taoist couldn't help but bow and say a few more nice words to the giant clam.

"Buzz!"

Before the sloppy Taoist finished his words, there was a buzzing sound coming from Gu Yuan's sleeves, hitting his sleeves, as if it couldn't wait.

Heart-eating bug!
This insect has not grown in strength for a long time. Now seeing that Gu Yuan's methods are becoming more and more powerful and he has more and more powerful monsters under his command, it naturally can't sit still and starts to pray to Gu Yuan.

"How long will it take for this giant clam to successfully produce a pearl?"

Gu Yuan suppressed the restlessness of the heart-eating insect with just a thought, and then asked the sloppy Taoist.

"According to my calculations, it will take several days for this pearl to be fully grown!"

The sloppy Taoist calculated for a moment and replied to Gu Yuan.

"Several days..."

Gu Yuan seemed to be thinking about something, then turned his gaze to the sloppy Taoist's map.

The location on the map is thousands of miles away from here, with several small islands in between. However, these islands are not large in area and are just small black dots on the map, and are not noticeable.

Only near the giant clam pearl, there is a relatively large island shape outlined, which just covers the jade giant clam.

"Which demon owns these islands?"

Gu Yuan asked, pointing at the patterns of the islands.

The sloppy Taoist hurriedly replied: "My lord, the spiritual veins of these small islands are not strong, and at most only early-stage great monsters can occupy them."

"Only the Burning Cloud Island near the Huiyu Giant Clam is owned by a third-order mid-stage monster named Burning Cloud Golden Frog. It has unparalleled fire skills and cannot be destroyed by water. It is quite powerful and has occupied this place for hundreds of years."

"What are the temperaments of these monsters? Have they ever hurt anyone?"

Gu Yuan asked again.

"Master, it is clear that there are indeed some kind-hearted people in the Great Marsh who only practice by absorbing and exhaling the essence of the sun and the moon. However, the monsters on these islands are not among them."

"These islands happen to be located in the middle of a trade route in Daze. They usually rob passing merchants and steal their property. They do a lot of evil things. Some of them even raise mermaids as slaves and food. They are not good monsters!"

The sloppy Taoist was very smart and immediately understood what Gu Yuan meant. He quickly told the Taoist about Ji Dao's evil deeds.

But he didn't lie.

There are not many big monsters in the big swamp that do not do evil things.

"In that case, let's destroy the islands and slay the monsters. This will save us from unnecessary troubles when we retrieve the pearls!"

With a wave of his sleeves, Gu Yuan decided the fate of several islands.

This is what Yunmeng Lake is like.

The law of the jungle and the struggle for life and death are commonplace.

A fierce dragon crossing the river can naturally stir up the situation, but if it is not strong enough, it can only become food for the monsters.

……

……

The Yunmeng Lake is vast and boundless, and it is home to countless monsters and demons, as well as many rare treasures.

But the Daze is closed after all, and compared with the entire Dongshan area, it is not worth mentioning.

In order to allow resources to circulate and earn greater profits, naturally a large number of merchants bravely entered the swamp.

During the years of trading, many business paths naturally emerged.

These trade routes are good and bad. The good ones are naturally the trade routes for large quantities of goods, which are backed by real great monks and are almost safe.

There are also some inferior trade routes that require paying "tolls" before trading. Although it is a considerable price to pay, safety is guaranteed to a certain extent.

Fenyun Island is one of the trade routes.

After passing Fenyun Island, there is a third-level shell farm, Yueyun Shell Farm.

This shell field is rich in Moon Cloud Shells, which can purify magical power and are of great use to foundation-building monks. Golden Core monks can also benefit from them, so every once in a while, there will be merchants coming here.

At this time, beside the great swamp of Fenyun Island, there was a huge treasure ship docked there.

On the treasure boat, a middle-aged monk wearing a flowing cloud robe, who looked intimidating without even getting angry, looked at the endless red fire clouds above the lake in front of him with anger in his eyes.

"This Golden Frog is too despicable. He actually raised the price at the last minute and wanted to double the share. He is so arrogant!"

The middle-aged monk said bitterly.

Beside him, there was a Taoist priest wearing a blue Taoist robe and with a rough face. Hearing this, he also showed a helpless look: "This frog is cunning and greedy, but it has great strength. This Burning Heaven Fire Array was purchased from my sect in the past, but now it has become a roadblock for you and me."

"Don't encourage this frog's arrogance, otherwise you will be controlled by it in the future and it will think we are easy to bully!"

"Return to the sect immediately and ask the sect leader to come. Let's attack this island together and teach this golden frog a lesson!"

The middle-aged monk said angrily.

"Brother, a little impatience can ruin a big plan."

"This frog must be punished, but how long will it take to go back to the sect and invite the sect master? I'm afraid we won't be able to collect the Moon Cloud Shells this time."

"This year marks the 200th anniversary of the birth of a King of Shells. If you eat a King of Shells alive, you can increase your gold-based magic power by thirty strands. If you refine it into a Moon Rhinoceros Pill, you can increase your gold-based magic power by sixty strands!"

"Don't miss this opportunity!"

The Taoist with a rough face advised.

"The Golden Frog knew that we were reluctant to part with the King Bei, so he took the opportunity to raise the price and threaten us!"

The middle-aged monk said angrily.

"Brother, when you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head!" "For the sake of King Bei, I can only endure it for a while. I will make plans after I get King Bei!"

The Taoist with a rough face advised again.

Although both of them are Jindan cultivators, they can only compromise when facing the Burning Cloud Golden Frog, which possesses a third-grade superior formation and unparalleled fire magic.

If you want to teach the other party a lesson, it will require at least three mid-stage Jindan cultivators to do it.

The two of them are still not capable of doing it.

The middle-aged monk pondered for a long time, and finally said bitterly: "Well, let this golden frog be proud for now, and when I get King Bei back, I will definitely call the sect master to make it suffer!"

"As it should be!"

Seeing that he had persuaded his senior brother, the Taoist with a rough face also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then call the demon general over, give it the spiritual object, and let it tell the golden frog, and then it will let go..."

Now that the decision had been made, the middle-aged cultivator did not delay and immediately gave instructions to his junior fellow apprentice.

"I'll make arrangements right away!"

The Taoist with a rough face responded, made a spell, and was about to make arrangements when he suddenly heard the sound of gongs and drums in the distance.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The sound of war drums resounded throughout heaven and earth, accompanied by huge roars, as if thousands of troops were roaring, and the entire swamp was shaking.

Not only that, the sky suddenly darkened, and a huge evil cloud covered the sky and came at a high speed from afar.

"This is……"

The middle-aged monk suddenly stood up, his mind surging, and looked into the distance.

In the distance, on the big lake, there were blue waves and countless shrimp soldiers, crab generals, turtle soldiers and python soldiers, riding the huge waves, raising green flags, and roaring towards Fenyun Island.

Above the sky, evil spirits were rolling and insect shadows were all around. Two figures with strong auras stood facing the wind, looking down with cold faces.

"Someone is planning to attack Burning Cloud Island. Who is so arrogant?"

"One is in the middle stage of Jindan, and the other is in the middle stage of Da Yao?"

The middle-aged monk looked at the man and the monster above him in doubt and amazement.

At this moment, thousands of flames suddenly burst out from Fenyun Island. The entire island seemed to be burning. The flames were raging and dyed the sky red.

The extremely high temperature made the water in the lake boil endlessly. Countless river water was evaporated, forming a huge water mist that rose up. The mist was filled with fire all over the sky. The whole Fenyun Island was stained with a hint of sacredness and seemed inviolable.

A loud voice suddenly rang out on the island:
"Old turtle, stinky Taoist priest, I didn't bother you, but you came to my door. Do you think I dare not kill you?!"

Along with the voice, a huge golden frog that was a hundred feet tall and as big as a hill appeared. Its whole body seemed to be made of gold, and there were countless holes on its back. In each hole, a huge pillar of fire shot up into the sky, filling the sky with flames.

At first glance, it looks like thousands of volcanoes are burning, illuminating it red.

Fire clouds filled the sky, water vapor rose, and the huge golden frogs roared like thunder, looking down on all directions.

On the island, the great formation vibrated, and countless spiritual energy rolled up and condensed at the feet of the golden frog, like a sea of ​​clouds, making it look truly majestic.

Seeing this scene, the middle-aged monk on the treasure boat suddenly changed his expression, and the anger in his heart suddenly subsided a lot.

This golden frog has not been seen for many years, but its cultivation has actually made further progress. How terrifying!
"Old frog, you have done so many evil things and have committed so many crimes that you will be punished by heaven. Now, release the formation and beg for mercy. There is still a glimmer of hope!"

The old turtle stood under the clouds and shouted at the golden frog below, showing no fear at all.

"Hahaha!"

"Old turtle, your ability to quibble over words has improved day by day. You're begging for mercy? Just because of you?!"

"The way of Daze is to take what is lacking and make up for what is in excess. It doesn't matter if you have done all the evil things. If you can attack my Burning Cloud Island and kill me, I will have no complaints!"

"If you can't, retreat quickly, or I'll take over and devour all your offspring!"

The voice of the Burning Cloud Golden Frog was like thunder. Its body was hundreds of feet long and almost as tall as the sky. It shouted towards the sky without showing any weakness.

It owns a third-level spiritual island and has a large formation in hand. What does it have to fear unless it is attacked by a late-stage great monster?
"The way of the great lake is to reduce what is insufficient and replenish what is in excess. It seems that you have realized it very well. I think you will not have any complaints even if you die today..."

At this moment, a faint laugh suddenly sounded above the lake.

"who?"

The sound was vague at first, as if coming from the horizon, but suddenly it became solid, as if it was right next to my ear.

Jinwa was startled and looked down, only to see a young Taoist in a Taoist robe and cloud boots, with a green hairpin in his hair, suddenly appearing outside Fenyun Island as if he had teleported.

"Unfortunately, it's not the time of the moon and stars..."

The young Taoist looked at the formation barrier that was burning like a flame and sighed slightly.

When Jinwa heard this, he felt a sudden chill in his heart for some reason.

The next second, the Taoist waved his sleeves lightly, and a golden sword ball suddenly flew out.

The sword ball stood in the void, suspended motionlessly, but bright silver sword shadows suddenly emerged.

One, two, ten, twenty, thirty!
Thirty-three!

In just a moment, thirty-three sword lights emerged.

Then, an indescribable surge of magical power suddenly surged out of the Taoist's body.

The power was so strong that it sounded like a roaring mountain, causing the golden frog to stare at it in amazement.

The Taoist in front of me is clearly just at the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm, so why does he have such terrifying magical powers?

"boom!"

But before it could think, it saw a sword light like silver lightning, which suddenly cut through countless flaming clouds and struck the formation fiercely.

"boom!"

"boom!"

The speed of the sword light was beyond words. Jinwa only felt a flash before his eyes, and thirty-three sword lights simultaneously slashed on his island protection formation.

In an instant, the earth shook, the swamp trembled, and the entire Fenyun Island shook thirty-three times in a row.

But the golden frog's huge eyes, like golden lanterns, showed joy: "Hahaha, I was wondering why you came to trouble me, but you turned out to be looking for a sword cultivator. But even so, how can you break my formation?!"

Fenyun Island shook thirty-three times in a row, but its protective formation was a top-grade third-order formation, which was extremely expensive. How could it be easily broken?
It would be better if a great monk in the late Jindan stage came.

"Shh!"

But at this moment, Jinwa suddenly discovered that the young Taoist outside the formation suddenly disappeared.

It was suddenly startled, but the next moment, it felt something strange above its head.

I saw that the young Taoist had stood on top of it without me noticing, with his feet on the red flames, looking down at me.

It was furious, but the next moment, a "vertical pupil" flashing with lightning suddenly opened between the young Taoist's eyebrows.

At this glance, it was as if the sky was split open, and an indescribable soul light suddenly surged out.

"what!"

A huge pain came from within his soul. Jin Wa felt as if his entire soul was pierced. The immense pain made his mind collapse. He couldn't even use his own magic. He could only let out miserable screams.

"Zheng!"

At the same time, dozens of sword lights came and suddenly chopped towards his head.

"Sword Immortal, please spare my life. Sword Immortal, please spare my life. I will give you a chance!!"

The cries for mercy were extremely shrill and panic-stricken, echoing in the swamp.

Above the clouds, the old turtle and the sloppy Taoist looked at each other, with strange looks in their eyes.
