Mortal: Fight monsters and upgrade, I will enjoy immortality!

Chapter 97 Chaos Star Sea

With a flash of yellow light, Ye Ming appeared in a dark space.

He shook his somewhat groggy head and took out a moonstone. When the soft light shone on it, the surroundings suddenly became clear.

Looking around, I saw that this was an empty stone house, with nothing around it except a stone door in front of it.The ground was covered with a thick layer of dust, accompanied by a strong smell of decay, indicating that this place had been abandoned for a long time.

When he looked down, he saw at his feet a hexagonal array that was exactly the same as when he was teleported in the cave. The light above it had just faded away.

After taking a long breath, Ye Ming looked at the Great Movement Order in his hand and couldn't help but feel lucky.

Just now, when he started to teleport, a huge space pressure enveloped his whole body without any warning.

Just when his heart was pounding, the token, which was no bigger than a palm, emitted a faint green light in time, covering his whole body, and the suffocating pressure immediately disappeared.

Ye Ming has no doubt that if the token reaction is even slower for a moment, he will definitely be crushed to pieces by the power of space. The Great Teleportation Token is really magical!
Then he raised his steps and walked to a corner of the magic circle. The patterns here were exactly the same as those he had repaired.

With a gentle tap of his foot, several cracks appeared in this corner.

Now that a decision has been made, it should be implemented decisively.I will destroy the magic circle today, and when I have enough strength, I will come back and repair it.

After sighing softly and putting aside everything about Tiannan for the time being, Ye Ming shook his body and walked to the stone door. Pushing hard with one hand, the stone door was easily pushed open.

Behind the stone gate is a long row of dusty bluestone steps. The slope of the steps is very gentle and extends upward to an unknown location.

Walking up the stairs slowly, after walking up the long steps and turning two corners, you saw a huge rock blocking the middle of the road.

"This is the exit!"

Ye Ming held the boulder with both hands and pushed it to the side, revealing an exit wide enough for one person.

Suddenly, dazzling sunlight came in from outside, and at the same time, a blast of moist fresh air blew in.

Ye Ming took a deep breath, crossed the exit, and appeared on the cliff of a seaside cliff. Looking up, he saw blue water all the way to the end of the sky, and a faint smell of the sea hit his nostrils. Come.

"Chaotic Star Sea, here I come!"

Ye Ming looked at the endless sea, with endless pride in his heart. There are countless monster resources here, huge reserves of high-level spiritual stone mines, and the top treasure in the human world, the Tongtian Spiritual Treasure...

I, Ye Ming, will definitely be able to take off here and achieve the rise of cultivation and strength. His heart is full of strong confidence.

After turning back and blocking the exit of the stone chamber with huge rocks, Ye Ming took out the black wind boat, rose to an altitude of several hundred feet, and looked down.

He found that the island under him was not very big, with a radius of only a dozen miles, and the place he came out from just now was just a small rocky mountain protruding from the island. This small rocky mountain was set up at the entrance and exit of the teleportation array. on a cliff.

The place is extremely hidden. If you didn't fly here specifically to check, you wouldn't be able to find it at all.

After careful sensing, the concentration of spiritual energy on the island is extremely thin. The entrance and exit of the stone chamber are not restricted by formations, and no spiritual energy fluctuations are emitted.

No wonder the teleportation array here has not been discovered for so many years. It is such a deserted place. If the situation is not known in advance, no one will come at all.

Ye Ming looked at the sun in the sky, and after judging the direction, he touched the black wind boat with his toes, and the boat turned into a black light and flew towards the direction of the sun setting.

When Ye Ming first arrived, his first task was to find humans and then learn the language and writing on the Chaotic Star Sea.Only on this basis can one try to hide his foreign identity.

Therefore, in the next few days, Ye Ming flew out in all directions in a clockwise order, focusing on the island where the teleportation array was located, looking for human gathering places.

Fly forward for two to three days in each direction. If you don't meet any humans, come back and search in another direction.

Seven or eight days later, Ye Ming changed directions three times and finally encountered a sea ship in the east-north direction.

There are hundreds of people on board, and they are all mortals without magic power.

What surprised Ye Ming was that this sea ship for mortals was pulled by two huge shark-like sea beasts.

But when he scanned the sea beast carefully, he found that it was just an ordinary sea beast without any demonic power, so he stopped paying attention.

Ye Ming then boarded the boat and after exchanging several ancient languages ​​​​learned in Tiannan, he finally found a middle-aged man who understood the language.

The next thing is simple. Ye Ming learned about the current sea area, surrounding island environment, etc. through this person.

With this understanding, I know that this is indeed the waters of Kuixing Island, located in the southwest corner of the inner sea of ​​Luanxing Sea, extremely far away from Tianxing City.

Then he casually offered some benefits, saying that he would let a middle-aged man teach the Luan Xinghai language and writing.

This person was already in awe of the immortal cultivators, and he had huge benefits in front of him, so he was naturally very happy and tried his best to teach.

Ye Ming was in the middle stage of foundation building at this time and had already been able to achieve photographic memory. With his powerful spiritual consciousness, it only took him two or three days to master the common language and characters of Chaotic Star Sea.

After practicing it many times and confirming that there were no other problems except his accent, he left the ship.

Ye Ming set off in the direction the middle-aged man said. After flying for two days, he finally saw an island with a coastline of thousands of miles long from a distance.

"That should be Kuixing Island!" Ye Ming muttered to himself and accelerated his flying speed.

Through previous understanding, Ye Ming already knew that there are three large islands near this sea area: Kuixing Island, Weixing Island and Sangxing Island, as well as dozens of small and medium-sized islands.

The island owner responsibility system is implemented here. Each island has an island owner who is responsible for guarding the island. These island owners are either high in cultivation or strong in strength.

Most island owners welcome outsiders, because if there are more immortal cultivators on the island, the overall strength will be much stronger.

When dealing with foreign monks, each island has similar measures and policies, which are basically divided into two types.

The first is to join the island owner's force. The island owner will give him a salary for cultivation every year, but the monk will have to obey the island owner's instructions from now on.

Second, as casual cultivators or monks from other forces, not only do they not have a salary supply, but they have to pay a certain amount of spiritual stones to the island owner every year.

While thinking about these situations, Ye Ming was already approaching Kuixing Island.

As we get closer to the island, more and more people appear around. Among these people are monks flying with magic weapons, and mortals riding sea boats or rowing boats.

Slowly, Ye Ming arrived at a port area with an area of ​​tens of thousands of acres.

This is a natural and excellent harbor, surrounded by land on three sides. The outlet extends for more than ten miles, and is divided into several bends by land in the middle.

The entire port has more than a hundred wharves of various types, such as jetty type, along the bank, and trestle type. Each wharf is different in length, the long one is two or three miles, and the short one is only ten feet.

There are two to three hundred ships of various sizes docked on it.

At this time, some ships were organizing passengers to get on and off the ship, and some ships were nervously unloading cargo. There were also many busy pedestrians on the shore. It was really a huge flow of people, busy traffic, and a lively and busy scene!

Ye Ming stopped in the air and observed carefully for a moment, and found that although there were tens of thousands of people at the dock, there was no chaos, and some appeared to be in order.

All this must be attributed to the monks in the Qi Refining Period who maintained order at key nodes on the shore.

Once an accident or violation of regulations occurs somewhere in the port area, these monks who maintain order will definitely show up to "admonish" them.

After a casual glance, I found that there were dozens of these maintaining order.

After seeing the situation clearly, Ye Ming jumped to a relatively empty pier.

Then he turned back and struck the black wind boat, which turned into a black light and was put into the storage bag by Ye Ming.

Ye Ming looked around and was about to follow the flow of people to the island when a young man wearing white clothes with a mountain pattern embroidered on his chest came over.He bent down and gave a salute, and then said in a neither humble nor condescending manner:
"I have met this senior! I would like to teach you that if you want to go to the island, you can fly there directly."

"Oh? I see those people are also queuing up!" Ye Ming pointed to a few monks walking in the crowd not far away. "Haha, this is the first time for seniors to come to our Kuixing Island. Those are all immortal cultivators in the Qi refining stage. For seniors with foundation establishment or above, there is no need to queue up." The young man said with a slight smile.

Ye Ming took a look and saw that it was really like this. There was not a single foundation-building monk queuing up in the entire port area. He thought it was just a coincidence that he didn't meet the foundation-building monks just now. It turned out that he had special privileges.

So he nodded to the young man and said, "Well, this is indeed Ye's first time here. Thank you for informing me, little friend."

"It is the responsibility of the younger generation to answer questions and provide guidance for the seniors!" the young man answered calmly.

Ye Ming was a smart person. He thought about it and asked him: "Ye is new here and is not familiar with the situation on the island. I wonder if you can introduce me to Kuixing City and some of the nearby situations?"

"Okay senior, it just so happens that this junior is about to return to Qingyun Mountain. Can senior please wait for a moment? After junior goes to hand over the responsibilities, we can talk to senior in detail." The young man agreed without hesitation.

Ye Ming nodded to him, and the young man returned to where he originally stood, where another monk in white clothes at the Qi Refining Stage was already waiting for him.

After communication, Ye Ming learned that this talkative young man was called Di Ping. He had practiced basic skills to the tenth level. He used to be a casual cultivator. He only joined Kuixing Island in recent years and was assigned a job to maintain order at the dock.

According to Di Ping, most of the immortal cultivators on Kuixing Island are concentrated on a mountain called Qingyun Mountain.

This mountain covers an extremely large area, accounting for more than a quarter of the entire island.In addition to the three giant peaks of Tianzhu Peak, Tianxiao Peak and Tianmen Peak, there are also 360 seven smaller peaks, as well as countless caves and valleys of various sizes.

The three main peaks are the training grounds for the island owner and deputy island owner respectively. They are all in the alchemy stage.Among them, the island owner is called Zhenren Mulong, who has the cultivation level of the middle stage of alchemy formation; and the deputy island owners are called Zhenren Yuan Jun and Zhenren Kanqin, they are both in the early stage of alchemy formation, and they are also a pair of Taoist monks.

In addition to the three main peaks, there are 36 peaks with a spiritual energy concentration that is significantly higher than other peaks, each occupied by the 36 most powerful foundation-building monks.

This occupation is not permanent, but a spiritual land competition challenge is held every ten years.After the challenge, the winners go up and the losers go down.

The remaining peaks are not much different. Generally, as long as a monk enters the foundation building stage, he can automatically obtain one of the peaks as a place for cultivation.

As for the immortal cultivators in the Qi refining stage, they can only honestly find places such as valleys and caves to practice.

After learning this information, Ye Ming wanted to find a random mountain to practice for a while, but he didn't expect that in order to do so, he would need other conditions.That is to obtain permanent settlement rights, or to join a certain force.

When Ye Ming heard this, he gave up his original idea. If he needed to achieve such troublesome conditions, he might as well go to Tianxing City.I heard that as long as there are spiritual stones there, the cave is not up to you, and the spiritual environment is definitely much better than here.

Later, Ye Ming asked Di Ping for the specific location of Tiandu Street in Kuixing City, and then separated from him.Before leaving, he casually handed the young man more than 30 spiritual stones as a reward, making him very happy.

An hour later, Ye Ming appeared in Beicheng District of Kuixing City.

What was in front of him at this time was a super large white light curtain that enveloped the entire Beicheng District, and many tall buildings inside could be faintly seen.

"Is this Tiandu Street?" Ye Ming moved with confusion and bumped into the light curtain.

What is surprising is that the light curtain did not react at all to Ye Ming's "collision". Without any sound, Ye Ming appeared inside through the light curtain.

After entering the light curtain, Ye Ming saw the most conspicuous building here at a glance.

It was a huge attic located in the middle of the city, floating more than thirty feet above the ground.This pavilion exudes a layer of green light, the whole body is emerald green, and looks dreamy and charming under the sunlight.

Being able to make such a huge attic float in the air must be done through some kind of powerful magic circle!Ye Ming secretly guessed.

After watching in admiration for a while, Ye Ming turned his gaze elsewhere.

Within the area covered by the white light mask, there are hundreds of streets, large and small. There are rows of houses built on both sides of the streets, row upon row, different styles, and beautiful.

There were not as many pedestrians in the streets as there were in the mortal urban areas outside, but they were obviously more than those in the Dafang City and other immortal cultivator gathering areas that Ye Ming had visited.

Just as Ye Ming was curiously observing various streets, his expression suddenly changed and he turned around and looked back.

He saw an old man with white hair walking straight towards him. After bending down and giving a salute, he said respectfully:

"See this senior, junior Wang Wu. I see that the senior is very surprised by Yunmeng Pavilion. It must be the first time he comes to Tiandu Street, right? Does the senior need a guide? The junior has lived here since he was a child, and he is very interested in the house here. Everything is so familiar that if the seniors have any needs, the juniors will definitely be able to recommend the best choice."

Ye Ming looked at the honest-looking white-haired old man in front of him, who was estimated to be between 70 and [-] years old. He was actually a monk, but he only had the fourth level of Qi training.

It seems that he has either four spiritual roots or five spiritual roots. It is estimated that he has never had any chance to become an immortal after cultivating for a lifetime, so that even at his age, he only has this level of cultivation.Situations like the old man's are not rare in the mortal world.

"Wang Wu, right? You can show me around first. If the introduction is satisfactory, it will be of great benefit to you." Ye Ming chuckled and said.

The old man was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly: "Thank you, senior! I will definitely satisfy you, senior. I wonder what you want to know first?"

"I want to buy some classics. The more detailed and comprehensive the better. Can you recommend any good places?"

As soon as Wang Wu heard this, he immediately introduced it eloquently: "Returning to the seniors, the place that sells the most and best classics is Yulanxuan. The classics there are not only detailed, but also comprehensive. There are all kinds of anecdotes and things in it. , ancient secrets, sea maps, islands, etc., everything is available, will the junior take the senior there?"

"Lead the way!"

"Yes, senior!"

……

Next, Ye Ming, led by Wang Wu, shuttled through various shops and visited most of Tiandu Street.

I found that the prices here are very different from those in Tiannan. Some things are ridiculously cheap. For example, magic weapons are very cheap here. You only need to spend more than 200 spirit stones to buy a top-level magic weapon with good quality. Only in Tiannan. Half the price of similar magical instruments in the south.

But some things are much more expensive than Tiannan, such as mineral refining materials, elixirs, spiritual materials, etc., which are more than twice as expensive as Tiannan Cultivation World.

After some inquiries and comparisons, Ye Ming came to the conclusion that everything related to monsters here was at least twice as cheap as in Tiannan.And anything that cannot be obtained from monsters is two or three times more expensive than Tiannan.

Thinking about it, the most indispensable thing in Chaotic Star Sea is monster beasts. Countless monks go out to hunt monsters here and bring back a large amount of monster materials to this world of immortality.As a result, the price of monster material products will inevitably not be too high.

This is not the case with other resources for cultivating immortals. Most of the Chaos Star Sea is ocean, and the land area is composed of islands, which is very small in the vast ocean.The elixirs, spiritual materials, minerals and other resources produced above are pitifully small. When the supply exceeds the demand, the price will naturally be much higher.

From this, the unique cultivation method of the Luan Xinghai monks was derived, that is, everything revolves around monsters.The demon elixirs of demon beasts are used to make elixirs, the bones and limbs of demon beasts are used to refine weapons, the furs of demon beasts are used to make talismans, etc...

Precisely because monster resources can be turned into monk cultivation, there are far more monks at the early stage of Nascent Soul and below in the Chaotic Star Sea than in the Tiannan Immortal Realm.

But when you reach the mid-Nascent Soul stage and above, your ability will decrease dramatically.Especially those who can cultivate to the late stage of Nascent Soul, there are only four people in Da Da and Luan Xinghai who have reached this level of cultivation.

The main reason is that once a monster reaches level eight, it activates its spiritual intelligence and naturally will not wait foolishly for human monks to kill it.Moreover, the strength of the eighth-level monsters is much stronger than that of ordinary Yuanying-level monsters in the early stages. Human monks cannot obtain a large amount of Yuanying-level monster pills for cultivation.

After understanding this basic information, Ye Ming started the big purchase.

First of all, I bought hundreds of various classics, some introducing the history of the Chaotic Star Sea, some recording maps of nearby sea areas, and various anecdotes. The most common ones were various illustrations and introductions to the habits of monsters and beasts.

Secondly, I also purchased a large amount of monster souls, which are necessary for making puppets and are sold in many stores.Ye Ming bought hundreds of the souls of level four monsters without even visiting a few stores.

Here, there are many more elixirs used to improve the cultivation of foundation-building monks than in Tiannan.Although Ye Ming already had a large number of Qi Gathering Pills, he still bought all the pills he could find.

In addition, Ye Ming also purchased a lot of coral stones and a large amount of neon grass.Neon grass is also known as "monster luring grass". The spreading leaves of neon grass can promote the reproduction of monsters and increase their strength. It is an excellent thing for cultivating monsters!
Although Ye Ming could not ripen the neon grass or know the specific time when its leaves would unfold, he had already made a plan.

He planned to obtain the spreading-leaf neemgrass through widespread cultivation.He can't afford to wait for the neon grass that is over 600 years old, but he can still wait for the one that is 200 years old.If he plants tens of thousands of neon grass, through scientific management, he can naturally get a large number of one, two hundred, or even three or four hundred year old neon grass.

If hundreds or even thousands of these spiritual grasses are fed to monsters, they will definitely be able to cultivate spiritual beasts with a large number and strength, such as gold-eating insects, blood jade spiders, etc.

However, planting and managing so many neon grasses requires a lot of time and energy, and Ye Ming still won't do such a time-consuming and laborious task himself.He planned to capture a low-level monk or a mortal with spiritual roots in the near future, and use the Yuehuang method to refine him into an incarnation.

Use your incarnation to plant and manage these colorful grasses, so you won’t delay your own cultivation.

Although I don’t know whether this plan can be realized or what the result will be, I won’t lose anything by giving it a try.

So Ye Ming purchased all the colorful grass on the market, and then hurriedly left Tiandu Street.
