Chapter 519 Island Hunting
That night, blood money could not be refined at all.

Jin Shisan hastily called all the Taoist priests on the island into the meeting hall to discuss important matters, and Xu Dao was no exception.

A Taoist priest happened to be in seclusion recently, or was refining elixirs and warming magic tools. When he first heard about this, he was shocked and slammed the table and asked:

"Is that true? The island's spiritual veins are cut off, and blood money cannot be refined?"

When Jin Shisan heard the other party's shout, her already gloomy expression became even more displeased, but since the other party had just come into contact with this matter, she suppressed her irritability and just said: "Really! Don't you think this Dao will tease you?"

A few Taoist priests looked around and found that the rest of the Taoist priests also had extremely gloomy faces, and it really didn't look like they were joking.But one of the Taoist priests still didn't believe it, he turned his head and left without saying a word, leaving the meeting hall.

Not long after, the Taoist priest returned to the meeting hall. He didn't return empty-handed, he was holding a head in his hand, maintaining the activity of the head with magic power.

The head was bloody, but the eyeballs were still moving, and the face was full of horror and despair.

I saw that the Taoist priest's face was also ashamed, not much better than his head.He walked into the hall, in front of everyone, crushed the head in his hand, and cast a spell, as if trying to draw out the soul inside.

But no matter how fast he moved, after the head was broken, the soul inside would also be shattered on the spot, making it impossible for him to grab it.

The Taoist then said: "What the island master said is right. Pindao just went to the prison and tried using death row prisoners himself. A total of nine times, he couldn't extract the soul every time, let alone refine it into blood money."

Seeing the bloody scene in the hall, Xu Dao couldn't help frowning slightly.

He could tell that although the other party was talking about a death row prisoner, the complexion on the head made him obviously a pampered mortal.

Moreover, the prison on Platinum Island is too far away from the meeting hall, the other party probably left the meeting hall and arrested mortals from the nearby dwellings.

It's just that everyone is not paying attention to this right now, Xu Dao just frowned and listened silently.

Seeing that all the Taoist priests in the hall believed it, Jin Shisan suddenly opened his mouth and asked the Taoist priest, "Master Jia, you have traveled all over the world, and you have tried a few times just now, but you have found clues from it, or do you know some reasons? "

It turned out that the Taoist priest who tried to withdraw his soul was not the elder of the Jin family, nor was he a guest, but was from the Jia family on Baijin Island.Although this person is not the direct descendant of the Jin family, he is also an old man of Baijin Island, so he also obtained the position of elder.

Taoist Jia paced up and down a few times, and said: "Pindao has indeed heard of such strange things. I heard that Yuren Island, one of the [-] islands, experienced the severance of spiritual veins and blood money decades ago. Things that cannot be refined."

"Huh!" A Taoist priest seemed to be hearing about this for the first time, and hurriedly said, "Tell me, Taoist Jia."

When Xu Dao heard it, he raised his eyebrows slightly.

Jia Daoshi said: "This happened decades ago. The Shark Island is too far away from my Platinum Island, and I don't know much about it. But I heard that the Shark Island failed to solve the problem in the end. to relocate the entire island."

Someone in the hall echoed:

"Thinking about it, I've heard about it. If the owner of the Shark Island hadn't happened to be promoted to Jindan, I'm afraid the Shark Island would have been exterminated and removed from the island. Therefore, there are still rumors that the owner of the Shark Island drained it all by himself. The aura of the earth veins, and what kind of evil method was used, which caused the souls of mortals on the island to be cursed."

For a while, there was a lot of discussion in the hall, and the Taoist priests started to discuss the story of Yuren Island.

Xu Dao listened to it, and immediately gained a lot of new news.

For example, after Shaman Island was unable to produce blood money, it took aim at Cold Iron Island, which was relatively close to it, and relied on the owner of Shaman Island who had become Danhou, to successfully occupy Cold Iron Island and renamed it the new Shaman Island.

The old Yuren Island was simply abandoned, and now only mortals live on it, there are few Taoists, and only occasionally slave boats pass by.

Because the distribution of mortals on the island is scattered, the number of mortals that can be carried by slave ships is limited, and there seems to be a curse formed in the local area, which is not kind to Taoists and other reasons, it is very easy for slave ships to make ends meet.Therefore, although the mortals on the old Yuren Island are slash-and-burn, they are generally quite comfortable.

It's just that for the Taoist priests in the West Sea, there were originally one hundred and eight large and medium-sized islands, but suddenly one was permanently lost and became one hundred and seven islands.

This matter also attracted the attention of other Jindan Taoist masters. The other party teamed up with the owner of Sharkman Island to dig three feet on the old Sharkman Island, but they still didn't find any clues, so they had to give up.

Xu Dao rejoiced and was surprised at the same time.

He was fortunate that the Jindan Taoist couldn't find out what he had done. What surprised him was that he had thought that the [-] islands in the West Sea had selected the [-] most powerful ones according to their power.

With the Cold Iron Island being wiped out, they should choose another one from the remaining unpopular forces.

However, after listening to the discussion of the Taoist priests in the hall, he suddenly discovered that the so-called "one hundred and eight islands" have been fixed since ancient times.

Just like the Starry Isle, after it was wiped out, its location was occupied again almost in an instant, and it didn't go unused for long at all.And according to the information received, the spiritual veins on Fanxing Island began to reappear after a few years.

Xu Dao suddenly had a reverie in his mind: "There are thousands of islands in the West Sea, but only one hundred and eight islands are the largest, and only these one hundred and eight islands have spiritual veins. There must be some deep meaning in it."

He immediately thought of the one hundred and eight formation patterns of the Xuanzhen Sect, and wondered: "Could it be a large formation?"

But he knew very little, and Xu Dao was just skeptical. He thought hard for a few times, and seeing that he didn't have any more clues, he put the matter aside for the time being and continued to listen to the discussions of the Taoist priests in the hall.

After quarreling for a quarter of an hour, Jin Shisan finally couldn't bear the final word and said:
"I have also heard about the old things about Shaman Island. What is certain now is that the other island has not recovered after three or forty years, so there is no need to think too much about it."

A Taoist said: "What the island master said is true. If my Platinum Island is in the same situation as the other party, I'm afraid I won't be able to recover. What should I do?"

In an instant, the faces of the Taoist priests present all darkened.With the lessons learned before them, they had no choice but to consider the worst-case scenario, worrying about the future of the entire Platinum Island.

What's even more tragic is that there is a golden alchemy Taoist sitting in Yuren Island. If there is a problem with the old island, other islands can be easily occupied.But Platinum Island doesn't have a golden core Taoist, so if you want to move, you can only move to the spiritless island.

But the spiritless island not only has no aura, but is also small and cannot support too many people. Tens of thousands of mortals are the best.

If blood money is refined on it for a long time, it will also attract the siege of fierce beasts in the sea.Those casual cultivators in the West Sea want to refine blood money, so they take refuge in the various islands, otherwise the loss outweighs the gain.

As for land reclamation and rebuilding the formation, it will cost a lot, not to mention everyone on Platinum Island.

Amidst the oppressive atmosphere, a Taoist priest from the Jin family suddenly showed a stern look on his face, and said sinisterly:
"If it's really hopeless, then I'll change to a better place! I think the Qiansha Island next door is not bad, and it's just right to take it down as a new home!"

Qiansha Island is the closest spiritual island to Platinum Island, only [-] miles away from them. There is no Golden Alchemy Taoist on the opposite island, and the highest cultivation level is also in the Realm of Refining Gang.

However, Qiansha Island has also maintained a large force for hundreds of years. The formations on the island are densely covered, and they even actively joined the Sea Alliance.If Platinum Island really fought over, who would suffer the most.Even if he wins the battle, it may provoke the Jindan Daoist to clean it up.

After another discussion, Jin Shisan finally said what Xu Dao wanted to hear the most:
"Elders and guests, have you forgotten that there is another way out?"

If you can't beat the opponent, naturally you can only join the opponent.With the previous foreshadowing, everyone did not consider joining the islands such as Qiansha Island, but immediately thought of Baigu Island!
There was a few breaths of silence in the meeting hall, and someone immediately stood up and said: "Pindao agrees to form an alliance with Baigu Island! Mutual allies!"

In the current situation, the Taoist priests present thought about it carefully, and all found that Baigu Island was their best choice.

"There is a golden alchemy Taoist sitting on the White Bone Island, and he is not afraid of the Haimeng. If you join the past, you don't have to worry about the conscription envoy."

"This island has a good reputation, and I heard that it is also friendly to the forces that seek refuge, and it doesn't take away power much!"

Someone once again raised concerns: "But Baigu Island is still too far away from us, and we will go back and forth, at least two or three years."

Xu Dao listened to everyone discussing "business", and finally couldn't help it, thinking how to inadvertently add fuel to the fire.

To his surprise, there was no need for him to raise the flames, and someone suddenly said: "Long distance is not necessarily a bad thing. If I lobby properly, maybe the White Bone Island will be willing to help us attack Qiansha Island! That's true, we will also There is a chance to stay here.”

At first glance, this matter sounds a bit wishful thinking, but when the other party talked about it in detail, even Xu Dao felt that it was somewhat feasible.

The White Bone Island is in the north, and the White Gold Island is in the east. If the White Bone League wants to expand its power, it can first place chess pieces on the east side.And the current situation of Platinum Island is just right for the opponent's pawn... and so on.

The discussion in the arena became more intense. Except for a few people, the other Taoist priests felt as if they had found a way out.

Among them, some Taoist priests became suspicious, thinking that the matter of taking refuge in Baigu Island coincided with the severance of the island's spiritual veins, and the two were indeed a bit of a coincidence.

But the other party didn't have any concrete evidence, and Xu Dao took the opportunity to "call" everyone a few more words, the other party's suspicion was just a suspicion.

Xu Dao did not refute directly, but took the opportunity to raise another object of suspicion: "This matter may have something to do with the conscription envoy!"

Dead people can't speak, and the conscription envoy came alone, with no helpers or subordinates behind him, which really made Platinum Island beware.

After another half-day of discussion, with Xu Dao's secret support, Jin Shisan finally made a decision. She decided to lead the people on the island to the Bone Island to find life!
The only thing that didn't match Xu Dao's idea was that Platinum Island didn't plan to relocate the entire island, but planned to send as many people as possible to outlying islands as envoys and spies.

There are still a lot of Taoist soldiers left on the island, as well as several foundation-building Taoist priests to preside over the formation.After all, they still expect that the spiritual pulse on the island is only temporarily out of order and will recover after a while, so they need to leave a way out.

Xu Dao also agreed with this arrangement.

If all the Taoists left in a hurry and no one presided over the formation on the island, then the millions of mortals on the island would be in an extremely dire situation, at least half of them would die.

And the current arrangement would allow Xu Dao to leave with a large number of Taoists without harming millions of mortals on the island, which is already an excellent situation.

It is worth mentioning that the talisman money and spiritual materials stored on Platinum Island are only enough to activate the island protection formation for several years.

Therefore, the group of Platinum Island must be fast, otherwise, even if they land on White Bone Island, what they see after returning may be ruins.

So Jin Shisan and others decided to start building the fleet immediately, and set off in January at the latest.This is exactly what Xu Dao wanted!
In the meeting hall, Jin Shisan cupped his hands at everyone: "This is the end of the matter, fellow Taoists, let's encourage each other!"

"Yes.", "Good."

After speaking, everyone either responded or nodded, and left the meeting hall one after another, hurrying up to prepare for the upcoming journey.

Xu Dao was also completely relieved at this time, and was overjoyed.

In the following time, the big formation of Platinum Island was opened again, and the inside and outside were isolated. The Taoists and Taoists on the island also learned about the situation one after another, and became panicked.

However, under the suppression of the formation and the foundation-building Taoist priests, there was nothing to cause panic, and the Taoist and Taoist boys had to work overtime to prepare for the trip.

Less than a month.

A wide spirit ship tens of feet high, and several spirit ships tens of feet high are all ready.The largest ship among them has reached the level of condensed evil, and it only lacks one meridian than Xu Dao's star conch treasure ship.

Except for the three veteran Taoist priests who were elected by everyone, all the remaining Taoist priests on Baijin Island, most of the elite disciples, and more than half of the Taoist soldiers... all boarded the spirit boat, and the total number of people on the island was nearly ten thousand.

A group of people sailed away from Platinum Island in a mighty manner.

They have a total of five spirit boats, one big, four small, and the spirit boats are tied to each other with iron cables. They travel on the sea like walking on flat ground, as if an island is moving, and the speed is not slow.

Xu Dao stayed in it, and he only needed to meditate and practice Qi every day.The fleet can identify the direction by itself and solve most of the problems encountered on the road, which is much more comfortable than when he was running around in the past.

The only time he needs to take action is when the fleet encounters a powerful foundation-building beast, he needs to repel or kill it, but he is also assisted by other Taoists.

Because of the large fleet, the daily consumption is very high, and the group of Platinum Island is going out of the island for a long voyage, so there are few supplies.

After cleaning up the beasts several times, they began to actively hunt the beasts in the sea, feeding the Taoist soldiers with their carcasses, refining elixir, magic weapons and so on.

It's just that the ferocious beasts in the sea are ferocious, and their flesh and blood spirits are polluted by evil spirits, so they are not suitable for cultivating Taoism, they can only make ends meet.

Otherwise, Platinum Island may be able to feed the entire island by hunting alone, instead of taking a risky voyage and seeking refuge on Bone Island.
