Chapter 142 Dazzling Stars
After spending half a year using the Red Flame Thunder Cauldron to absorb enough fire spirit power and converting it into thunder slurry, Zhang Wei left Xuanyang Island with Dongli Qingtong and headed straight towards Go to Xuanxing Island, one of the main islands in the Seven Stars Sea.
As a veteran force in the Seven Star Sea, Xuanxing Island's comprehensive strength is the best even among the seven main islands.
Although it does not have the bustling commerce of Venus Island, it has an advantage that makes both Zhang Wei and Dongli Qingtong very excited.
Stablize!
Unlike other islands that encounter storms every few thousand years, Xuanxing Island has been peaceful for tens of thousands of years.
The internal restrictions are also very strict. There may be some dirty things secretly, but overall they are very disciplined.
In addition, three thousand years ago, the direct bloodline of the True Lord Xuanxing successfully joined a large sect where a being above the gods was sitting, and it was said that he was doing quite well.
Relying on this relationship, even the great monks who are also Nascent Souls are not willing to have a head-on conflict with Xuanxing Island.
Peace, stability, and rules.
The ability to hold power is still strong, and the background is still very strong.
Various circumstances have made Xuanxing Island one of the holy places for cultivation in the hearts of the entire Seven Star Sea monks.
Of course, if you are looking for opportunities, don’t come to Xuanxing Island.
Although chaos is dangerous, it also means there are many opportunities.
The stable environment of Xuanxing Island is only suitable for practicing life and doing business. It is indeed a good place for cultivating for monks who are supported by families or forces and have no shortage of resources.
But for monks who want to climb up, it is also a prison that kills their fighting spirit.
Coupled with Xuanxing Island's strong control over its sea areas, good things are basically out of the hands of outsiders, so there are not many high-level casual cultivators on the island.
But these problems are not a problem for Zhang Wei and Dongli Qingtong!
They are not short of resources now, and they need a stable environment.
Moreover, as the main island, Xuanxing Island, even if the business environment is not as good as Venus Island, it is definitely not bad. You can still buy the resources needed for cultivation by spending more money.
Just like this, one year later, after crossing millions of miles of sea, Zhang Wei and his party finally entered the waters of Xuanxing Island.
Looking at the black line emerging in the distance, Zhang Wei asked his subordinate Zhu Ji to slow down the Meili and even lower its altitude.
Because many flying magic weapons and flying boats have appeared in the sky nearby, and they are all heading towards Star City.
The aura fluctuations emitted by the owners of these magical flying boats are no lower than those of the Foundation Establishment, but they are not aware of the Zifu.
But after all, Xuanxing Island has the Nascent Soul Master sitting in charge, and there are more than a dozen Jindan Masters who are rare on Danxian Island, so it is better to keep a low profile.
After a short while, the Golden Meili had arrived at the edge of Xuanxing Island. Only then did Zhang Wei discover that there was a formation here, covering the entire Xuanxing Island like an inverted bowl.
Moreover, the level of the formation is not low, at least beyond the third level. With Zhang Wei's current strength, it is still beyond his power to break this formation.
However, Dongli Qingtong said that given enough time and sufficient resources, she could create such a large formation.
Zhang Wei led a group of people to the place where high-level monks went through the formalities for entering the city. Looking at the male cultivator in front of him who was responsible for receiving him, Zhang Wei couldn't help but think of the undercover Huang he placed on Danxian Island. Brocade.
So Zhang Wei released his spiritual thoughts and observed the person's heartbeat frequency at any time.
This male cultivator cannot reach the advanced stage of Qi refining, so it is naturally impossible to discover his spiritual thoughts.
The male cultivator asked respectfully: "May I ask what your senior's cultivation level is?"
Zhang Wei said calmly: "The early stage of Zi Mansion."
"ah?"
The male cultivator was suddenly startled, and there was a gasp of air in the room. Many people looked over directly, and quickly turned back after seeing Zhang Wei's disguised appearance.
Turns out to be Master Zi Mansion!
The male cultivator quickly stood up and bowed respectfully to Zhang Wei: "Junior Guo Yang, I didn't know that the Master was in person, so please forgive me! Dare you ask the Master's name?"
While feeling Guo Yang's heartbeat, Zhang Wei said calmly: "Zhang Xiaofan, this is my sister Zhang Tong, and the rest are my servants."
Zhang Wei pointed at Dongli Qingtong and seven foundation-building men behind him and said.
Guo Yang looked up.
Okay, eight foundations!
Coupled with Master Zhang from the early stage of Zi Mansion, it is more than enough for this group of people to go out and occupy a second-level spiritual island and start a business!
Now they actually organized a group to come to their Xuanxing Island.
It seems that he is someone from some big force!
So Guo Yang did not dare to neglect, and took out nine purple, eight, and white jade tokens and said: "Senior, this is your identity jade token, please accept it."
Then he introduced: "According to the regulations of our Xuanxing Island, monks from the Zifu can enter for free. If you rent the cave for a long time, you will get a 30% discount. It's just servants like you..."
Guo Yang said apologetically: "According to the regulations of our Xuanxing Island, you can only bring three low-level monks to our island for free. You will need to pay a sum of money for the remaining five people. Please forgive me, Master."
"No problem..."
Zhang Wei said calmly, and then took some money out to pay the city entrance fee.
Then, just as Zhang Wei was about to enter the city, Guo Yang rushed back and asked, "May I ask if the Master has any needs for the cave?"
"I am quite familiar with this Xuanxing Island. If you don't mind, I can lead you to choose a cave."
Zhang Wei paused and looked back at the man.
The other party's emotions were transmitted through his mind.
There was excitement, nervousness, fear, but more determination.
So Zhang Wei said, "Lead the way."
Guo Yang introduced, "Senior, before I take you to rent a cave, please let me introduce you to the layout of our Xuanxing City.
There are five million mortals in our Xuanxing Island. They are generally responsible for some basic work in Xuanxing Island and mainly live in the outer city and the farms on the south side of Xuanxing Island.
In addition, there are one million Qi-refining cultivators, who mainly live in the inner city. The rich ones open caves in the sacred mountains behind the city.
Most of the foundation-building cultivators and purple-mansion cultivators also live in the sacred mountains on the east side of these islands, so it is very prosperous.
Xuanxing Island also has a series of facilities such as shops and auctions that sell various treasures such as pills, talismans, arrays, etc. If you want anything, you can go there to choose."
Zhang Wei nodded and understood what Guo Yang meant.
Don't rent the caves on the south side of the island, try to rent the ones on the east side.
Not long after, Zhang Wei, led by Guo Yang, came to the cave rental office on Xuanxing Island. This time, the person who was responsible for receiving Zhang Wei was a late foundation building cultivator.
Seeing Zhang Wei, a master of the Purple Mansion, coming, he immediately introduced with great enthusiasm: "There are now four second-level caves and seventeen first-level caves on Xuanxing Island, with various attributes of gold, wood, water, fire and earth. I wonder what style you want?"
Zhang Wei asked directly: "Is there a third-level place with abundant yang energy?"
There is no way, there is no dirty stone here to generate electricity. Zhang Wei's practice of Shaoyang Gong and Dongli Qingtong's treatment of the Yin wind in the body both require a lot of yang energy as a supplement, so Zhang Wei decided to go all out and buy a higher-level cave.
Third level? !
The person in charge was shocked, that can support Jindan Zhenren!
But the place with abundant yang energy...
The person in charge thought for a while and said, "Yes, it is Dongyang Peak, but the price here is a bit expensive. Even if there is a 30% discount, the annual rent is 200,000 taels of gold."
"Dongyang Peak?"
Guo Yang's face changed, and then he whispered to Zhang Wei.
"Senior, many fake Dan masters have fallen on Dongyang Peak!"
After hearing Guo Yang's words, Zhang Wei immediately understood.
200,000 taels of gold.
According to the prices of the Seven Star Sea, the annual income of ordinary Purple Mansion cultivators is really not that much, so the third-level caves are generally inhabited by Jindan real people, and only fake Dan cultivators will spend a lot of money to rent for a period of time in order to break through the Jindan tribulation.
But due to the huge casualties of the Jindan tribulation, these rented caves have more or less had a few people die.
With so many deaths, even Jindan real people will feel unlucky.
And on Dongyang Peak, seven fake Dan cultivators who were about to pass the Jindan tribulation died, and there was not a single one who successfully passed the Jindan tribulation!
For many fake elixir cultivators who have to go through the golden elixir heavenly tribulation, this is definitely a place with bad feng shui.
But Zhang Wei didn't care.
He just said: "Can it be cheaper?"
The person in charge glared at Guo Yang with some dissatisfaction, but still said: "Since the senior asked, the price can naturally be reduced. If the senior wants to rent it for a longer period of time, then I can still make the decision and give you a discount. 180,000 taels of gold per year!"
Zhang Wei thought about it and said: "Then let's rent it for ten years first."
Then he took out 1.8 million taels of gold from the Xumi Ring.
"Yes!"
When the person in charge saw the 1.8 million taels of gold, his eyes suddenly widened, and then he immediately took out a jade token and said: "This is the forbidden token of the cave. With this, the master can enter and exit the cave freely, but it is only for ten years.
However, if the master wants to renew the lease, he can notify us. This token also has the function of communication within Xuanxing Island. If you need anything, just call us and we will rush to you as soon as possible."
Zhang Wei took the token and looked at it. He thought that he had finally seen a convenient communication tool in the world of immortal cultivation, but it was a pity that it could only be used in the Xuanxing Island area.
Then Zhang Wei put away the token, turned around and left with Dong Li and others.
"One million and eight hundred thousand taels... All the money of the Biyue Sect has been used up..."
Zhang Wei's clone looked at the inventory in the Xumi Ring and couldn't help but let out a bitter smile.
The more than six million taels of gold of the Biyue Sect in the past have now been consumed, leaving only tens of thousands of taels of gold. If he wants to practice as usual in the future, he can only rely on selling the hundreds of third-level magic weapons in his hands to exchange for money to barely make ends meet.
Fortunately, he registered his cultivation level at the early stage of the Purple Mansion when he came to Xuanxing Island, so many third-level first-grade magic weapons can be sold openly.
"By the way, Mr. Guo."
At this time, Zhang Wei remembered his guide.
Guo Yang immediately responded: "Junior is here."
Zhang Wei rummaged through his Xumi Ring, and finally took out several bottles of second-level pills and several second-level talismans he had made before and gave them to him.
"This is for you..."
"Ah?"
Guo Yang was startled, looking at the pills and talismans in front of him and said in surprise: "This is..."
Zhang Wei said: "Your reward."
Hearing this, Guo Yang said happily: "Junior, thank you, senior!"
According to the prices in the Seven Star Sea Area, this bottle of elixir is worth at least three hundred taels of gold, which is already money that he can only earn in two or three years.
Seeing the other party take it, Zhang Wei warned: "Don't be so mean-minded in the future and tear down other people's platforms in front of them. Are you, a young Qi Refiner in the late stage, afraid that someone else's foundation-building monks will give you too much shoes to wear in the future?"
"Forehead……"
Guo Yang's expression froze, and then showed bitterness, but he still bowed deeply to Zhang Wei and said, "Junior thanks senior for reminding me."
After watching Guo Yang leave happily and thoughtfully at the same time, Zhang Wei took people to the Dongyang Peak Cave Mansion where he rented.
As a third-level cave, the area is not small enough to accommodate the daily life and cultivation of Zhang Wei and Dongli Qingtong, as well as the seven foundation builders under their command.
Moreover, the spiritual energy here has turned into mist. Just as the jade slip said, the Yang energy here is very abundant.
Although the cave is in the East District, it is very quiet and peaceful. The nearest cave is fifty miles away.
Unless Zhang Wei fights with others here, no matter what he and Dongli Qingtong do, the news will not spread.
Moreover, this cave also comes with a third-level high-grade formation. With the power of the third-level spiritual veins, even Jindan Zhenren cannot open it in person for a while.
But even so, Dongli Qingtong and Zhang Wei were still worried about relying on the cave's original formations to protect their own safety, so they spent several months setting up three third-level high-grade formations here.
Anyway, Dongyang Peak's third-order spiritual veins can be maintained even with fourth-order formations, and a few more third-order high-grade formations are just a trivial matter, not even a burden.
In this way, spring passed and autumn came, Zhang Wei and Dongli Qingtong lived in Dongyang Peak for five years.
Xuanxing City, Xuanxing Auction House.
"Congratulations to this fellow Taoist who spent 130,000 taels of gold to buy this third-grade first-grade wind-piercing sword!"
The auctioneer shouted excitedly, and the late-stage foundation-building monk who bought this object even more excitedly shouted: "Hahaha... I also have a third-level magic weapon!"
Seeing this man dancing excitedly, two familiar foundation-building monks couldn't help but chat: "What's going on in the past few years? There are a lot of third-level magic weapons in Xuanxing City."
Another person echoed: "Yes, and the quality is very good. I heard that the people in Zifu in Xuanxing City have replaced one more or less in the past two years, and the evaluation is quite high, but I can't tell. What refining method?"
"Is it possible that the ruins of a certain large sect have been discovered?"
"It's also possible, hey...why can't I touch it?"
The two of them looked annoyed and did not see the hooded old man sitting behind them silently stand up and come to the backstage of the auction.
A charming female cultivator in the late stage of foundation building respectfully held a mustard bag in her hands and handed it to Zhang Wei.
Said: "Senior...this is the 130,000 taels of gold that you sold for the wind-piercing sword you sent to our Xuanxing Auction House."
"If senior still has third-level treasures to sell, please continue to consider our Xuanxing Auction House. We will definitely give senior a price that satisfies you."
"Um……"
The old man responded calmly, but deep down in his heart he planned not to come to the Star Auction House to send any bids for a long time.
Although this auction house is indeed good, in order to purchase resources over the years, I have successively invested a lot of high-end magic weapons in the Star City market.
The price of magic weapons in Xuanxing City has been lowered due to his own reasons!
Even though I had been careful over the years, I had taken action in various ways, and even used electromagnetic invisibility to leave afterward.
But as the saying goes, you can't walk by the river without your shoes getting wet. Coupled with the conversation between the two foundation-building monks today, Zhang Wei made up his mind to stop business for a while.
Anyway, Zhang Wei has also collected a lot of raw materials for the magic weapons in the formula of senior Ao Ziyi over the years, especially the materials for the seventy-two pieces of Earth Sha Kui Thunder Drum. He has also found them all!
It's time to take a good break and upgrade your equipment.
Returning to Dongyang Peak, when they saw Zhang Wei returning, the four foundation builders who were handling Zhang Wei's demon materials immediately stood up and saluted.
Now Zhang Wei only has these four men.
Among the other three, two were weak when they went out to do errands for Zhang Wei. One encountered a robbery, the other encountered the Zifu Siren and died, and the other one died because his longevity was approaching, plus the previous While working in the mines, he contracted so much stench that he eventually passed out.
After instructing several people on the next work, Zhang Wei walked into the cave and knocked on the self-cultivation furnace.
The self-cultivation furnace was opened, and Dongli Qingtong, who had turned into a homegirl, yawned and poked her little head out of it, asking: "What's going on?"
Zhang Wei said: "I will go into seclusion for a period of time, so you should pay more attention to the affairs at home."
"You want to retreat. Are you going to break through to the later stage of Zifu?"
Dongli Qingtong said in surprise, her pupils trembling even more, as if she couldn't accept it.
"How is that possible?"
Zhang Wei gave Dong Li a headache.
"ah!"
Dongli covered his red forehead, showing a look that dared not speak in anger.
But this is nothing. After decades of daily interaction, the two of them are already very familiar with each other. It is a normal thing to make some harmless jokes or fight.
Zhang Wei rolled his eyes and said: "I have only broken through the middle stage of Zifu for a few years. How can I break through the late stage so quickly? I want to refine magic weapons, and there are quite a lot of them, so the retreat time will be longer."
"knew."
Dongli Qingtong said dullly.
Then Zhang Wei took out a bottle of elixir from the Sumeru Ring and said, "By the way, I'll give you this. It seems it's your birthday soon. It's a gift for you."
Dongli Qingtong took it and looked at it, and said in surprise: "Purple Qi Yunyang Pill?!"
This was exactly the best elixir she had dreamed of treating the yin wind in her body.
Zhang Wei smiled and said: "I have checked and there is nothing wrong with this elixir. You can take it with confidence. However, the quantity is a bit small, but it can at least shorten your life by a few years. Coupled with my Shaoyang Kung Fu, according to the If this efficiency continues, in about twenty years, the evil wind in your body will be completely eradicated."
Dongli cleared his eyes for a moment, then accepted the elixir and said, "Thank you, but you gave me such a precious thing, and I won't let you suffer. I'll give this to you..."
As he said that, Dongli Qingtong took out a bottle of milky white spiritual liquid and said: "The fourth-level spiritual liquid, Yueying Liquid, is a specialty of our Linglong Sect. It can be directly converted into one's own spiritual power without refining, and it can also improve the spiritual power." The power of divine thoughts helps.”
An upgraded version of Yuehua Ganlin?
Zhang Wei's eyes lit up, and he was not being pretentious. It happened that the refining of the magic weapon would consume a lot of spiritual power and spiritual thoughts, so he accepted it and said: "Then I will be disrespectful."
