Chapter 5 Emergence of the Blue Sea
Chapter 5 Emergence of the Blue Sea
Sutra Pavilion.
The bamboo grove is quiet and secluded, and the mountains are shaded. The Li family specially hollowed out a mountain to place those jade slips of scriptures.
Li Quanqing stepped over the moss-covered stone steps, and the faint scent of sandalwood lingered around his nose, making him feel relaxed all over.
"Meet the Fourth Elder."
In front of the Sutra Pavilion, an old man in a purple robe was half lying on the back of a stone turtle carving. His robe was embroidered with fish and dragon patterns shaped like jade carp, and he was lazily basking in the sun.
Li Quanqing bowed respectfully before walking into the Sutra Library.
A little sunlight streamed in from overhead, illuminating the scene inside.
The entire mountain was hollowed out, and shrine-like caves were carved out on the surrounding stone walls, inside which were enshrined jade slips of various colors.
The area of skills, the area of magic, the area of elixir books, the area of feng shui...
The jade slips are classified and organized very clearly.
Although there are a large number of them, they are all common items at the Qi Refining level.
The only thing related to the foundation-building area is a pitiful one.
Li Quanqing raised his head, passed through the numerous scriptures, and looked directly to the top.
The azure blue light bloomed dazzlingly, as if a sun was hanging there, and the shape of the jade slip was faintly visible within the light.
The sound of surging waves could be heard even from such a distance, majestic and powerful.
"The Blue Sea Tide Power"!
Li Quanqing stared at the jade slip with an extremely eager gaze.
This is the Li family's clan martial art. In the family's 700-year history, the number of foundation-building practitioners who practiced this martial art is the largest.
Unfortunately, he did not have enough contribution points to exchange for this precious Taoist scripture.
Li Quanqing walked into the basic skills area obediently, used his identity jade token to break the formation, and took out the "Golden Water Secret".
Having mastered the water control technique, he was ready to practice a new spell.
Considering that he would inevitably have to fight with others in the future, Li Quanqing set his sights on the gold magic area.
Golden Qi is indestructible and sharp, and is the way to kill. It is most suitable to be a powerful killer for Qi-refining practitioners.
Gold Melting Technique, Gold Brick Technique, Sharp Technique, Golden Light Shield...
Combined with his poor storage bag, mediocre brain and understanding.
Li Quanqing finally chose a low-grade gold spell with good lethality.
"Geng Jin Zhi"!
Holding the two jade slips, Li Quanqing walked towards the door without looking back.
"Gold and Water Technique. According to clan rules, members of the Li clan who practice this basic technique are exempt from contribution points. Only one copy is allowed."
"Genjinzhi, a gold spell, worth 5 family contribution points."
The fourth elder turned over on the back of the stone turtle. Without opening his eyes, he could see clearly everything that happened in the Sutra Pavilion.
"Swipe your identity jade card."
The old man patted the turtle's shell and saw that there was a dent on the stone turtle's forehead.
Li Quanqing pressed the jade token in and it fit perfectly.
I saw a flash of light from the formation, and 5 points were deducted immediately.
At the same time, the two jade slips also made a crisp sound, and the anti-peeping restrictions contained in them were broken.
“How smart!”
Li Quanqing was moved in his heart. The entire Qingyu Island was covered by the clan protection formation, making it extremely convenient and quick to do things.
After putting the jade slip into the storage bag, Li Quanqing bowed to the old man politely before leaving the Sutra Library.
He headed north, preparing to buy some fish food at the island's trading area.
If possible, he also wanted to buy a few spirit beast cubs, preferably with gold attributes, which might be rewarded with the experience bar of "Geng Jin Zhi".
"Is this cousin going to the Yulong District?"
As soon as Li Quanqing took out the magic talisman, he saw the mountains and forests shaking, a flock of birds were startled, and a huge monster came out.
It was a crab as big as a hill, its blue-gray shell covered with rock-like patterns, like a solid fortress.
The huge body cast a large shadow on the ground, giving people a strong sense of oppression.
There were dozens of chairs on the back of the crab monster, and many members of the Li family were sitting on them.
"The family's island patrol envoy?"
Li Quanqing's eyes lit up. Qingyu Island was really too big, with a radius of 500 miles.
These Qi-refining monks who have no flying instruments are exhausted every time they travel.
Where there is demand, new business opportunities will naturally emerge.
The island patrol envoy in front of him was only in his early thirties, and his cultivation had reached the sixth level of Qi Refining. He had an elegant appearance and had the temperament of a businessman.
The other party stood on the big head of the crab monster and said with a smile: "Chenghui, two pieces of spiritual sand."
Although Li Quanqing was not rich, he still had some spiritual stones. He climbed onto the crab shell swiftly and sat down leisurely. Boom!
The crab monster rumbled forward through the mountains and forests, its long crab legs stretched out for dozens of meters, making sharp sounds of breaking through the wind.
This monster not only moves at a very fast speed, but can also easily overcome various obstacles. It can be said to be rampant and domineering, patrolling the entire island.
Soon, a large expanse of emerald green water came into view, dark and deep, with no end in sight.
"We have arrived at Yulongtan. Please jump down in an orderly manner, don't make any noise, and don't disturb others..."
Li Quanqing took a deep breath of the water vapor, and the coolness was mixed with a hint of chilliness, so cold that frost formed on his eyebrows.
There is a landmark building in each of the four directions of Qingyu Island: east, west, south and north.
Changqing Hall, Sutra Library, Equipment Refining Hall, Jade Dragon Pond.
Of course, Yulongtan has another down-to-earth nickname.
First-class fish pond area.
The pool is as smooth as a mirror, and the shore is filled with fine white sand, creating a long and narrow beach.
A miniature trading market was born here, with shops everywhere and two main roads paved with green rock.
Li Quanqing was familiar with the place and walked into the store he often visited to buy a batch of fishing baits.
One ordinary bait weighs one hundred kilograms of spiritual sand, and one high-level spiritual bait weighs one kilogram of spiritual sand.
He had experience in fish farming and was ready to expand the scale, so he bought more than 20,000 kilograms of fish bait, which were delivered to his cave by someone from the store.
"Take a look, take a look! Fresh and smooth raw fish slices, home-raised big bluefish, taste so delicious!"
"Talismans! Cleansing Talismans, Dust-Removing Talismans, Speed-Traveling Talismans, Rejuvenating Talismans, Immobilizing Talismans, Mist-Hidden Talismans, Entangling Talismans, Detoxifying Talismans are on sale now!"
……
Li Quanqing was walking on the streets of Fangshi, and the noisy hawking sounds on both sides were endless, just like a busy market in the secular world.
Immortal cultivators would definitely not do such a thing as it would be too shameful.
They are all mortals of the Li family who have no spiritual roots. They are hired to work and can earn a few spiritual sands to save.
"Huh? There are actually demon-hunting monks?"
Li Quanqing's expression changed slightly and he smelled a bloody smell at the tip of his nose.
I saw a cold-faced monk wearing a water-repellent robe sitting cross-legged on a street stall, and many people gathered in front of the stall.
There are turtle shells, fish monster scales, water python skins, sea beast horns, and all kinds of monster materials.
"Brother, do you have monster eggs and cubs for sale?"
Li Quanqing gave a shy smile.
The cold-faced monk glanced at him and said indifferently: "Want to raise a spiritual beast? Those are high-end goods. You have to go to the monks' trade fair or the big market to find them."
"Thank you for the reminder, brother."
Li Quanqing took note of it and looked through the items on the stall to see if there was anything useful to him.
Suddenly, his eyes focused and a few lines of text popped up in front of him.
[The dung fossil of an unknown high-level monster contains dragon scale grass seeds. After swallowing, it will help the Jade Carp grow and transform. ]
Looking at the gray stone, Li Quanqing's fingers couldn't help but tremble a few times.
Although he was very happy to develop the new function of the gold finger, he just touched it with his own hands...
“How much is this stone?”
Li Quanqing wiped his hands calmly.
He had just read about Dragon Scale Grass in a book. It only grows in places stained with the blood of dragons, pythons and monsters. It is a very rare and precious spiritual herb.
"The excrement of high-level monsters can drive away and shock ordinary monsters, and can also be used to fertilize the fields. It costs 1 spirit stone."
The stern-faced monk said, obviously knowing the goods on his stall very well.
"You dare to sell such a dirty thing for 100 spiritual sands, it's too expensive!"
Li Quanqing was speechless and prepared to bargain.
The stall owner shrugged: "Business is not very good, so the price is a bit high, after all, we have to make a living."
Well, Li Quanqing was defeated by the sincerity of this cousin.
"How about this, 10 pieces of spiritual sand, I'll pay if it works!"
The cold-faced monk scratched his head and said, "I'm not very good at doing business. I'll give you 80 pieces of spiritual sand. I can't give you any cheaper."
In the end, Li Quanqing successfully won it at the price of 48 pieces of spiritual sand!
After carefully wrapping the fossil in cotton cloth and putting it into a storage bag, Li Quanqing finally felt relieved.
He clapped his hands and was about to leave Yulongtan with satisfaction when there was suddenly a commotion at the entrance of the market town.
"Someone is selling magic tools on the street!"
With a loud crash, the whole street was instantly in an uproar.
