Longevity begins with an old woman

Chapter 117 Kuroshio Island

"There is a Tier [-] monster called the Cardinal living on this island. This kind of monster is not very useful, but the eggs it produces are quite delicious! It's also a special product here!"

"There is a small fish in the sea called Hei Suo. It likes to eat the droppings of this bird. It often gathers near the island. When the waves surge, it looks like a black tide, so it is named Kuroshio Island!"

Seeing that the island was approaching, Xu Yiren opened his mouth to introduce Xu Mu.

As the flying boat approached, Xu Mu discovered that the originally black sea water was actually formed by the gathering of small black fish the size of a little finger.

A little closer, near the island, there are stretches of mangrove forests, half of which grow in the water and half in the sea.

In these mangroves, there are many small gray-haired and red-billed birds.

These birds should be the red-billed finches that Xu Yi mentioned.

The flying boat didn't stop at the edge of the island, but flew directly towards the center of the island.

Standing at the bow of the boat, Xu Mu and Xu Yiren looked down, and found many monks' caves, and even a series of buildings, forming small gathering places.

Compared with HLD, the number of monks on Kuroshio Island is much larger, and it already has a bit of the weather of Baihefang City, which is very rare in the open sea.

After all, the population at sea cannot be compared with that on land.

Looking up, compared with HLD, Kuroshio Island, the whole island is divided very finely. Except for Fangshi in the center, which is shrouded in white mist, there are pieces of spiritual fields all around.

It's just that the spiritual fields here are neither elixir nor spiritual grains, but a kind of short and thick spiritual plants.

This kind of spiritual plant is called spiritual potato in the local area. It is somewhat similar to the papaya in the previous life, but it is much shorter and thicker than the papaya tree. The fruit it bears is similar to sweet potato, but the taste is drier and more difficult than sweet potato. Eat a lot.

And this spirit potato is one of the main sources of food for low-level cultivators in the outer seas.

Another source, naturally, is the ocean.

In addition to fish, there are also various seaweed and sea fruits.

At the same time, some cultivators will also trade with the sea people to obtain a kind of food called sea valley.

It is a bit similar to the spiritual grain planted by humans, but it is not actually planted, but produced by a creature called sea anemone.

The main food of the Sea Clan is this kind of sea valley.

The older the sea anemone produced, the greater the energy contained in the sea valley. It is said that some sea valleys produced by the sea anemone for thousands of years have some magical effects.

Although the battle between the Human Race and the Sea Race has not stopped for a moment, this does not prevent the two sides from doing business.

The Sea Clan, like the Human Clan, is not monolithic, and they will fight with each other.

Some people hate the human race, and there are naturally some people who are close to the human race. Of course, overall, most people hate it.

But in any case, as long as there are benefits, there are always people willing to take risks.

These are all Xu Mu read in a book not long ago.

Xu Yiren did not fly to Fangshi with Xu Mu, but flew towards a group of buildings not far from Fangshi, which was shrouded in light curtains of formations.

Compared with the simple houses where other cultivators live on the island, the complex of buildings in front of them is much more refined and luxurious.

Carved beams and painted buildings, blooming flowers, small bridges and flowing water, antique and fragrant, it feels like a mansion of a wealthy family.

Inside are men and women dressed as servants coming and going.

As the flying boat approached, a late Qi training monk wearing a gray robe flew out of it, and when he saw that it was Xu Yiren, he immediately bowed and saluted.

"I have met Master Xu! I have met Elder Xu! The Lord Master is already waiting inside, two adults, please follow me!"

Xu Mu didn't find it strange to be recognized by the other party at a glance. Xu Yiren must have passed on news and portraits before coming.

The monk in charge of reception may have been waiting for them outside.

Otherwise, it is impossible to greet them as soon as they arrive.

"Have the other elders and Vice-Clan Leader Shen arrived?" Xu Yiren asked.

"Except for Chief Shen, all the other elders have arrived!" the gray-robed monk replied respectfully.

"Sure enough, it's this guy again!"

Xu Yiren frowned slightly, and snorted coquettishly, then led Xu Mu, followed the welcoming monks, and walked through the gate all the way in.

It seems that Xu Yiren and the other deputy gang leader are not very good at dealing with each other.

Xu Mu felt dark in his heart, but he didn't ask any more questions.

"I've met Master Xu!"

"I've met Master Xu!"

The maids and servants along the road would stop and bow when they saw the two of them.

"It seems that the leader of the Whale Gang really has the intention of enjoying happiness, otherwise it would be impossible to recruit so many servants!"

For those cultivators in the foundation-building period, a retreat may last ten days and a half a month, and an occasional trip may last three to five years. If it is not for the purpose of building a family or enjoying blessings, it is too much to recruit so many servants. waste.

The three of them walked all the way, passed several corridors, and arrived at an open-air corridor courtyard.

At the entrance of the main hall, a grey-haired, majestic old man in a luxurious brocade robe was stroking his beard and looking up at the sky.

As the three of them stepped in, he looked down with a smile on his face.

"I guess this is Fellow Daoist Xu! Sure enough, being famous is not as good as meeting him. With such cultivation at such a young age, the future is promising!" the old man said with a smile.

"The leader of the Whale Guild has won the prize! It's just a little bit of luck!"

Xu Mu bowed his hands politely.

"I have heard the name of the leader for a long time! We are lucky to see you today!"

The two flattered each other a few words, Xu Yiren leaned close to Jing Luochen, his eyes seductively said: "Master, let's stop chatting outside!"

Judging by her appearance, the relationship between the two should be unusual.

Xu Muquan pretended not to see it.

"Yi Ren is right, fellow Daoist Xu please!"

"Please!"

The three of them stepped into the main hall one after the other.

As for the gray-robed monk who led the way, he turned and left after receiving a signal from Jing Luochen.

As the three entered, the three who were drinking tea and chatting in the hall stood up one after another.

Jing Luochen smiled and introduced Xu Mu one by one.

"This is Wang Yinxian, Elder Wang, who has joined the Jinghai Gang for more than ten years..."

Jing Luochen pointed to a strange woman with pupils the size of mung beans, and said.

"I've seen Elder Wang!"

Xu Mu bowed his hands politely, showing nothing unusual.

On the way here, Xu Yiren had already briefly told him about the situation of several people.

The Elder Wang Yinxian in front of me is 75 years old today, and her cultivation base is on the second floor of the foundation. She is a monk born and bred in the sea. .

Wang Yinxian's character was quite dull, after Jing Luochen finished her introduction, she nodded and sat down, staring at the tea in the cup in a daze.

Besides Wang Yinxian, the other two were Zhang Tianluo and Yang Wanshou.

Zhang Tianluo is also a young woman, but her appearance is even more strange, her head is big and her body is small, she seems to be severely malnourished, and there are many blue scales on her forehead.

As far as Xu Yiren knew, the reason for his appearance was because he had part of the Sea Clan blood in his body.

Zhang Tianluo has a small temper but not a small temper. Facing Xu Mu's greetings, she just snorted lightly, raised her chin, and exuded an air of arrogance all over her body.

The other Yang Wanshou is an old man older than Jing Luochen, with white beard and white hair, and looks like a fairy.

His temper is also the best among the three, and he has been smiling since Xu Mu came in. When facing Xu Mu's greetings, he is also polite in return, and invites Xu Mu to sit with him often in the future.

The image of Yang Wanshou reminded Xu Mu of Zhang Shouren.

According to Xu Yiren, Yang Wanshou is a rare formation master, and he knows the art of stabilizing the pulse, but he has never used it before.

After the introduction, Jing Luochen invited Xu Mu to sit down, and after serving the spirit tea to the servants, there was an active atmosphere with Xu Yiren, and they chatted, and gradually became harmonious.

It wasn't until half a day later, when Jing Luochen looked at the door three times, that an excessively bloated fat man wiped his sweat with a silk scarf, and rolled in like a meat ball.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Fangshi has too many things to deal with today, so it was delayed!" The fat man said with a smile.

"Hmph!" Xu Yiren snorted disdainfully, and looked at the fat man contemptuously.

The fat man's mung bean-sized eyes rolled around, and finally looked at Xu Mu.

"This should be Fellow Daoist Xu! Sure enough, he is a talented person!"

"Friend Daoist Shen, be polite!"

Xu Mu stood up and saluted.

The fat man in front of him is another vice leader of the Jinghai Gang, whose real name is Shen Gai.

As for his fat body, it was all due to his practice.

From Xu Yi's mouth, I learned that this vice-bang, like him, is a monk who practiced both dharma and body.

"I heard that Daoist Xu hasn't chosen a cave yet. The Stoneman Island where I'm stationed happens to have a cave built on a Lingquan eye. I wonder if fellow Taoist is interested?"

"Shen, what do you mean?"

Xu Yiren stood up with a cold face.

This is poaching in her face.

"Vice Chief Xu, don't be angry, I'll just say it casually and let Fellow Daoist Xu have multiple choices!"

Shen Gai laughed, not angry at all.

"Friend Xu Daoist, what do you think?"

Shen Gai continued to question Xu Mu cheekily, completely ignoring Xu Yiren's face that was about to freeze.

"Thank you, Deputy Chief Shen, for your kindness. I already have something I like."

Xu Mu smiled.

"Xu Daoyou, I really don't think about it, that cave..."

"Okay, Brother Shen! Let's talk about the Dongfu next time. Fellow Daoist Xu has been here for a long time, so let's start the banquet first!"

Jing Luochen raised his hand to interrupt Shen Gai's words, and then summoned his servants to serve him various delicacies.

"What the leader said is true!"

Shen Gai smiled and sat in his seat.

All kinds of delicacies and fine wines from overseas were served like flowing water.

Among them are the red-billed sparrow eggs, which are a specialty of Kuroshio Island, and the spirit potatoes, which have been processed many times and have no bitter taste at all.

After the dishes and drinks were almost finished, Jing Luochen raised the wine glass first, invited everyone to have a drink together, and then said, "I heard from Yiren that Fellow Daoist Xu is looking for the blood essence of a thunder-attributed sea beast?"

"Not bad!"

Xu Mu nodded.

Everyone stopped and looked at the two of them.

"It's a coincidence that I happen to have a drop of the blood of the Phantom Thunder Silver Shark in my hand!" Jing Luochen stroked his long beard and smiled.
