I conquer the immortal with my strength.

Chapter 296 Iron Fan Island

"Group of islands?" Xia Daoming looked surprised.

The information obtained from the soul search was very specific, like a picture, which could clearly show the scene near the lair of the Black and White Devils. Once Xia Daoming arrived at that place, he could accurately lock onto the lair of the Black and White Devils based on the picture obtained from the soul search.

But at the same time, because this cross-level soul search was very difficult, the information obtained was very rough. Apart from the specific scenes near the nest, the rest was only the approximate direction and distance. There was basically no time to inquire about what islands and forces there were in the sea along the way. Xia Daoming found it difficult to hold on, and the woman's soul collapsed as Xia Daoming lost control, and she died.

Therefore, Xia Daoming, who had hardly seen any islands or even rocky islands along the way, was naturally quite surprised when he suddenly saw small black dots appearing in front of him.

The boat sails with the wind.

The small black dots in the distance continued to grow larger under the high sun and turned into lush green islands.

Ships shuttled between the waters near the islands and between the islands.

In addition to the ships, Xia Daoming also saw many monks riding on flying birds or controlling magical instruments flying over the islands and flying further away.

Xia Daoming slowed down the boat, a hint of hesitation on his face.

For most of the cultivators in Daliang Kingdom, including Xia Daoming, overseas is a mysterious place.

It is said that not only powerful monsters live in the sea, but also many monks live on the island, many of whom are powerful figures.

As an outsider, Xia Daoming's journey into an unknown and mysterious place was obviously a risky move.

The safest move would definitely be to stay away from the crowd and avoid unnecessary trouble. After looting the lair of the Black and White Devils, he would immediately return to the familiar Daliang Kingdom.

However, ever since Xia Daoming returned from the ancient ruins of Nie Yan, he has released the news of the search for the Black Tortoise Blood Pearl and the White Tiger Blood Pearl through multiple channels, but now more than ten years have passed and there is still no news.

This trip unexpectedly brought Xia Daoming to the overseas world of immortal cultivation, which he had never been to before. He couldn't help but want to find out a thing or two about it.

“With my current strength and means, as long as I don’t encounter an old ancestor in the middle or late stage of the Nascent Soul, even if I can’t defeat him, running away to save my life shouldn’t be a problem.

Moreover, whether in the Great Profound Realm or in the legendary overseas cultivation world, the Nascent Soul Patriarch should be a very powerful existence, so it is not so easy to meet him. Even if I meet him unexpectedly, he should not pay attention to a small figure like me who has established his foundation."

Xia Daoming made a decision quickly and Shui Zhou sped up.

The view of the archipelago and the surrounding waters became clearer and clearer.

Soon, Xia Daoming discovered a strange phenomenon.

Most of the monks headed west and did not stay in the islands ahead.

Not only that, the monks who set out from the islands also headed west.

Just as Xia Daoming was feeling puzzled, he noticed a large ship approaching from behind his left.

With Xia Daoming's powerful spiritual sense, he could easily find out with a quick glance that there were more than twenty people on the boat. Most of them were cultivators in the Qi Refining stage, and only two were Foundation Establishment cultivators, and the most powerful one was only in the initial stage of Foundation Establishment.

Xia Daoming's heart moved slightly. He put away the water boat, jumped up, and flew towards the ship.

There were many cultivators traveling in this sea area, and there were probably local forces maintaining order and stability. So when they saw Xia Daoming flying over, the people on the boat did not panic or avoid him. Instead, a middle-aged man dressed in brocade clothes got the news and walked out of the cabin. He stood at the bow and greeted Xia Daoming, who was flying slowly, from a distance, "Daoyou, do you want to take a boat to Iron Fan Island?"

Xia Daoming was slightly stunned, then he realized that the Iron Fan Island he mentioned was most likely hosting some grand event, and everyone in this sea area was rushing there.

"Sorry for disturbing you!" Xia Daoming bowed without commenting.

"When you are out, helping others is helping yourself. Please, fellow Taoist." The man in brocade clothes bowed, then stepped back a few steps to make room.

Xia Daoming smiled faintly and floated down to the deck slowly.

As he flew down, the man in brocade clothes suddenly changed his expression, and hurriedly stepped back a few steps, then bowed deeply and said, "So you are the Foundation Establishment Senior, I apologize for your impoliteness."

Xia Daoming smiled slightly when he saw this. Just as he was about to speak, a pair of white-haired old man and old woman in brocade clothes walked out of the cabin.

These two people were exactly the two cultivators in the early stage of foundation building whom Xia Daoming had seen with his spiritual sense earlier.

The two of them swept their spiritual sense over Xia Daoming, were shocked at first, then stood in awe, and quickly bowed to him.

"You are so honored to be here, my foolish husband and I are sorry for not coming to greet you. Please forgive us."

"My two fellow Taoists, your words are too polite. I came here uninvited. I apologize for my impoliteness." Xia Daoming hurriedly returned the greeting without being arrogant or putting on airs.

The two quickly invited Xia Daoming into the cabin living room.

The two sides took their seats as host and guest, and the middle-aged man who had come out to greet Xia Daoming at the beginning was also there.

After some conversation, Xia Daoming learned that the middle-aged man was the only son of the old couple. He had completed Qi training at the age of thirty-five, but was now nearly sixty years old and had not yet established a foundation.

The purpose of this trip to Iron Fan Island was to attend the auction held once every sixty years, to see if there was any way to buy a good quality and cheap Foundation Establishment Pill.

"I see that fellow Daoist seems to have reached the perfect stage of foundation building. Are you going to Iron Fan Island to buy some elixirs that can help form the elixir?" the old man asked cautiously, his eyes full of envy and yearning.

After the couple successfully established their foundation in their seventies, they have not made any breakthroughs in their cultivation. Now they are both about 130 or 140 years old, and are still in the initial stage of foundation building. It is estimated that they can reach the limit of cultivating to the middle stage of foundation building in their lifetime, and there is definitely no hope for them to form a pill.

Originally they hoped that their son could go further, so they cultivated him at all costs and gave him a foundation-building pill when he was fifty years old. However, he failed to build his foundation.

If he could buy a foundation-building pill this time, he would still have hope of building his foundation ten years earlier than the two of them, and perhaps even go further. Otherwise, his future achievements would be worse than theirs.

"Senior has already completed his foundation!" The middle-aged man was surprised when he heard this.

His cultivation was limited, so he could only roughly tell that Xia Daoming was a foundation-building cultivator, and his aura was even stronger than that of his parents, but he could not tell at what specific level of foundation-building he was.

"From the tone of your voice, it seems that this Iron Fan Island Jiazi Auction has no shortage of precious elixirs and magic medicines?" Xia Daoming did not directly answer his own cultivation level, but asked with interest.

"Of course. Iron Fan Island is not only a famous place for cultivating immortals in Beizhenhai, but the island owner and his wife are both Nascent Soul ancestors, with great strength and many disciples. The auction held on Iron Fan Island every sixty years has always been one of the grand events in Beizhenhai. Not to mention the elixirs and medicines that help to form golden elixirs, there are also some natural treasures that even Nascent Soul ancestors would be tempted by.

Of course, we, the foundation-building cultivators, are generally not qualified to bid for that level of natural treasures. The lowest threshold requires reaching the Golden Core Realm.

Therefore, when the Jiazi Auction was held on Iron Fan Island, cultivators from a million miles around would try their best to come, and even cultivators from hundreds of millions of miles away would come to see it.

Fellow Daoist, you don't even know about the Iron Fan Island Jiazi Auction. Could it be that you are not a cultivator from the Iron Fan Island area?" The old man first answered with a proud look on his face, and then deliberately hinted at it at the end.

"To be honest, I have been practicing in seclusion on a remote island for many years. I just came out and traveled around a few days ago. I saw many people rushing to Iron Fan Island, so I came here to inquire for news." Xia Daoming said half-truthfully.

"Oh, I see. There are many islands scattered across the 80,000-li sea area near Iron Fan Island. There are often cultivators traveling on the sea, and with the Iron Fan Master and his wife in charge, most of the time, no robber cultivators dare to commit crimes here, so fellow Daoist, you don't need to worry too much about your safety.

However, fellow Daoist should be careful when leaving the 80,000-mile sea area centered on Iron Fan Island, because there are not only sea monsters causing trouble in those sea areas, but also frequent robbery cultivators.

Especially since the Jiazi Auction of Iron Fan Island is about to be held, cultivators from all over the country are rushing to Iron Fan Island, and robber cultivators from various sea areas will definitely come and gather outside the 80,000-mile sea area of ​​Iron Fan Island, waiting for the opportunity to rob and kill the cultivators passing by.

Although Daoyou has cultivated to the perfection of foundation building and is very powerful, those who dare to rob and kill are either very powerful or have some special means. There are even some Jindan cultivators among them. Even if Daoyou encounters them, he can only die in regret. "

Seeing that Xia Daoming was indeed not a cultivator from the waters of Iron Fan Island, the old man gave him a sincere reminder.

"Yes, outside the 80,000-mile sea area of ​​Iron Fan Island, there are more than ten groups of robbery cultivators wandering around all year round, the most famous of which are the White Bone Demon and the Black and White Demons.

It is said that the Bone Demon used some unknown evil magic to cultivate three bone clones, each of which has the strength of an early Golden Elixir. He usually hides in the dark and does not move, but controls the bone clones from afar to rob and kill passing monks.

It is said that there were several times when the Bone Demon was so ferocious that some Jindan monks could no longer tolerate it and joined forces to encircle and suppress him. As a result, not only was one of their people killed by him, but he also escaped with the help of his bone clone.

There is also the Black and White Demons, who are said to be a couple in the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm, and they work together in perfect harmony. It is said that once, the two of them robbed and killed a disciple of the island master of Gyro Island.

Gu Tianlei, the master of Gyro Island, was an old man in the late Jindan stage. He was so furious that he personally took action, but in the end, the couple still escaped.

Therefore, after attending the auction, fellow Daoist, do not rush to leave. It is best to find a place in the waters of Iron Fan Island to practice meditation and settle down for a while. It will not be too late to leave after the auction is over."

The old woman seemed to be afraid that Xia Daoming was living deep in the island, unaware of the situation outside, and that he was confident of his own strength and did not believe in evil, so she specifically mentioned the name of the most famous robbery cultivator in the area as an example.

When Xia Daoming heard the names of the Black and White Devils, a subtle look appeared on his face.

But soon Xia Daoming bowed and thanked him sincerely.

"Thank you for your reminder, Mr. and Mrs., I will pay attention to it."

The old couple quickly waved their hands in humility.

Next, Xia Daoming asked some questions about the overseas situation.

The old man and his wife were only in the initial stage of building their foundation, and they basically stayed near the island where they practiced. The farthest place they had ever been was no more than the 80,000 miles of sea where Iron Fan Island was located, so they knew very limited things about the situation outside the sea area of ​​Iron Fan Island, and even if they knew some, they were all hearsay.

However, despite this, Xia Daoming, the outsider, still felt that he had gained a lot of useful information.

As for the information about the wider sea area, Xia Daoming believed that he would be able to learn more once he arrived at Iron Fan Island, so there was no need to rush.

After the old couple answered everything they knew, seeing that Xia Daoming didn't seem to have any interest in asking further questions, they hesitated for a moment and carefully asked about matters of cultivation.

After asking this question, the old couple and their son looked at Xia Daoming with anxiety and expectation.

The Tao is not passed on to non-humans, and the Dharma is not passed on to six ears.

The old man and his wife were only at the initial stage of foundation building, while Xia Daoming had completed the foundation.

When they ask about matters related to spiritual practice, they are actually seeking advice.

This naturally involves teaching and answering questions.

Overseas, the sea separates islands and cultivators, and also blocks communication between cultivators, exacerbating the phenomenon of sectarianism and self-cherishing.

This also leads to many overseas cultivators becoming independent practitioners.

In this situation, most people would either not bother to answer or just give a perfunctory response.

However, Xia Daoming's combat power in the Qi Refining technique alone is already enough to kill an early Jindan cultivator. He has also fought life-and-death battles with many Jindan cultivators and even level five demon birds. His understanding of the Dao is extraordinary. The advice from two early foundation building cultivators is nothing to him, so there is no need to be stingy.

So, under the anxious and expectant gazes of the old man's family of three, Xia Daoming smiled calmly and then slowly explained the situation, answering their questions one by one.

Most overseas cultivators are independent practitioners. When they encounter problems in their practice, they try to solve them by themselves. Especially for low-level cultivators like the old man who don't have much inheritance, they have no one to ask for advice on matters related to practice.

Just now, when he saw that Xia Daoming had a friendly face, he plucked up the courage to ask him a few questions. Unexpectedly, Xia Daoming patiently answered his questions one by one. The family of three immediately felt like they had found a treasure and listened to him with solemn expressions.

After hearing this, the family of three quickly found that they understood something they didn’t understand before.

Half a day passed quickly, Xia Daoming stood up with a smile: "Thank you for the hospitality, Mr. and Mrs. Han. I have something to do and I'll leave first."

"Senior Xia, aren't you going to Iron Fan Island? My boat happens to be going there." Upon hearing this, the old man Han Shengliang quickly stood up.

During the conversation, he already knew that Xia Daoming's surname was Xia, and Xia Daoming also knew their names.

But after this round of teaching and answering questions, Han Shengliang already regarded Xia Daoming as half a teacher, and did not dare to call him fellow Taoist anymore.

"Thank you for your kindness, fellow Taoist. The Iron Fan Island Jiazi Auction will be held in twenty days, so there is no rush to go." Xia Daoming said with a smile.

After saying this, without waiting for the three people from the Han family to try to stop him, he had already left the cabin, then released a thousand-year-old black bamboo sword and flew away through the air.
