"I really didn't hide it, I really didn't sense that it had a machine spirit. ”

Ji Fan smiled helplessly: "It may be a magic weapon of a good grade, but the machine spirit has fallen into a deep sleep and cannot be awakened for a while, or it may not be an illegal treasure, it is just a key to open the stone door." ”

"I hope it's the former. ”

The crowd didn't ask any more questions, and soon walked out of the cave along the way they came.

It was getting dark, and soon after the group left the cave, they found a random place to rest.

During the break, Ji Fan found a group of Sword Pavilion disciples to buy a few Star Essences, and then took Tao Yuyan to dig a cave and get busy in the cave.

An iron kettle was set up on top of a bonfire, and when the water in the iron kettle was boiled, Ji Fan threw the treated star essence into it.

The last thing to be thrown into the iron kettle was those wind system star essence spirit grasses.

"Childe, these wind spirit grasses are all medium-grade star essences, isn't it too wasteful to use them like this?"

Tao Yuyan knew what Ji Fan was going to do, and she asked with some trepidation.

"It's a bit of a waste, but at the moment the conditions are limited, so we can only use it like this. ”

Ji Fanfeng said lightly: "It's just a few medium-grade star essences, it's nothing." ”

Tao Yuyan didn't speak again, in addition to gratitude, she was more curious, she felt that this Ji Gongzi knew too much.

In the process of boiling the medicinal soup, Ji Fan added water to the iron kettle several times so that the medicinal soup would not burn.

After staying up for three hours, midnight had passed, and Ji Fan woke up Tao Yuyan, who was meditating and cultivating, and told her to drink the medicinal soup.

In the mouth, there is a very strong bitter taste.

After the medicinal soup entered the abdomen, it immediately turned into a stream of pure medicinal power, and it quickly swam throughout Tao Yuyan's body.

She felt hot all over her body, and at the same time there was a sharp itch pain in every part of her body.

"It's going to be a bit painful for the medicine to work, and you have to grit your teeth and hold on. ”

Ji Fan admonished, then closed his eyes, held a piece of low-grade star crystal in both hands, and entered the cultivation state.

Tao Yuyan's body has been trembling constantly, and the heart-rending pain makes her feel tormented, she wants to give up again and again, but she survives.

The pain was so intense that she couldn't pass out if she wanted to, so she could only grit her teeth and persevere.

What she didn't notice was that there were always some stains popping up on her white and tender skin, accumulating more and more, gradually gathering into a thick layer of dirt, exuding a fishy smell.

She didn't think the pain would last long, but it lasted for nearly three hours, and it wasn't until dawn that the pain quickly subsided.

"How's it going, how does it feel?"

When she opened her eyes, she first saw the smile in Ji Gongzi's narrow eyes like a scimitar, and the grievances that had been born from suffering for a long time suddenly disappeared.

"What a pungent smell!"

The next moment, she smelled the strange smell on her body, and then saw that her arms were covered with calluses, and she stood up nervously.

"Hehe, there's a waterfall not far away, you go wash it. ”

Ji Fan stood up and walked out of the cave with Tao Yuyan.

Outside the cave, everyone had already had breakfast, and when they saw Ji Fan and Tao Yuyan coming out, they greeted them one after another, and couldn't help but block their snorts with their fingers.

"What does it smell like?"

"It smells terrible!"

Someone frowned.

"Huh?"

Ye Xiuyuan's eyesight is good, he stared at Tao Yuyan and took a closer look, and said in surprise: "Miss Yuyan, you should have made a lot of progress this night!"

"It's true, looking at it like this, it should have really tempered the body and made the cultivation foundation more solid. ”

Ling Yun's eyes were also bright, and his eyes were full of envy.

Accompanied by everyone, Tao Yuyan came to a waterfall that was not very large, and then walked into the waterhole under the waterfall.

Ling Yun, Ling Yue, and Ling Yu stood guard near the waterhole, helping to take care of the surroundings, while Ji Fan and other male monks chatted in the distance.

"Brother Ji, can you teach me the Curse of the Past Life?"

Ye Xiuyuan said sincerely: "I don't want it for nothing, I can give you the star crystal." ”

"Hehe, of course you can, and it's free. ”

Ji Fan smiled generously, and then taught the spell to Ye Xiuyuan, and also pointed out the essence of it.

Ji Fan is not the kind of person who cherishes himself, and he also intends to befriend Ye Xiuyuan, and although the "Curse of Death" has been lost for many years, it is not a powerful spell after all, and it cannot be used as a killer weapon, so that more people know that it will not hinder him at all.

This time he taught the "Mantra of Death", which can be regarded as making Ye Xiuyuan owe himself a favor, and favors are often very precious.

"Brother Ji, that's interesting!"

With a lost spell, Ye Xiuyuan was naturally very happy, and the friendly relationship these days made him feel that this procurement deacon of the Medicine Valley Foreign Affairs Hall was worth befriending.

After washing her body and changing into a neat long dress, Tao Yuyan felt in good condition, and she was full of strength.

To her delight, she found that her skin had become smoother, faintly glowing like a faint fluorescent.

Hearing Ling Yun say that he would improve his cultivation by leaps and bounds in a short period of time, Tao Yuyan was even more excited and looking forward to it.

Of course, she also knew very well that all of her was due to Ji Fan's son, and she couldn't be sorry for Ji Fan's son no matter what.

"Childe, although there is still a big gap, I will definitely try to catch up with you!"

Tao Yuyan secretly swore in her heart.

......

At noon on the twenty-sixth day of entering the Jiuchen Secret Realm, Ji Fan and his party finally walked out of the Linhai Mountain Range and arrived at Duckweed Bay.

Duckweed Bay is a bay named after the green duckweed that can be found everywhere in it.

The famous Nine Star Islands are in the depths of Duckweed Bay, but they are only more than 600 miles away from the shore.

These more than 600 miles of waterway can only be crossed by boat.

For cultivators who have attained cultivation, making wooden boats is naturally a simple matter.

You can chop down the trees in the Linhai Mountains, tie them with old vines or ropes, and a simple boat can ride the wind and waves.

Ji Fan and the others didn't have to be so troublesome, because a few people from the Sword Pavilion had already prepared a ship.

This ship was originally stored in the storage bag of the Oriental Senior Brother, it was five zhang long and two zhang wide, not only spacious, but also painted with star stripes all around, it should be very solid and reliable.

Ji Fan was not surprised by this ship, he just sighed that the space in Senior Brother Dongfang's storage bag was so large that it could fit such a large ship.

"This ship has no sails and no oars, how can it move forward?"

After getting on the boat, Qu Yu glanced at it, frowned and said, "Let's go cut some tree trunks and get a few oars first." ”

"Tubaozi, this boat doesn't need us to row at all, it can move autonomously. ”

Senior Brother Dongfang rolled his eyes at Qu Yu, then walked to the bow of the ship and stuffed two pieces of low-grade star crystals into a dark box.

Then, he closed the door of the camera obscura, and with a light tap of his hand on the door, the whole boat began to move slowly, and gradually accelerated.

"This ......"

Qu Yu smacked his tongue, secretly feeling that he was indeed too shallow.

Along the way, the boat broke through the waves, very steady, and the speed was not slow.

On the sea, there are many small boats heading towards the Nine Star Islands, but most of the small boats are very simple, looking at the small boats that Ji Fan and the others are on, those monks are envious.

Duckweed Bay is an inland sea, which has always been calm, but it is by no means a blessed place, and the sea beasts living in the sea here are also very vicious and powerful.

Sea beasts, like the star beasts on land, do not wait to see foreign Terran monks, they hide in the depths of the sea, and once they find the Terran monks above their heads, they will surface and attack.

Those small boats that travel at a slow speed are the most vulnerable to sea beasts.

The boat had been traveling for half an hour, and Ji Fan and the others had already seen three sea beasts with strong breaths, all of which were small boats attacking the Terran monks.

Ji Fan and the others did not come to the rescue, Senior Brother Dongfang wanted to rush to the Nine Star Islands as soon as possible, and he would not let the boat stop easily at all, and he did not care about the life and death of others.

After an hour and a half off the mainland, the boat finally arrived at the Nine Star Islands, but only a corner of one of the islands could be seen for now.

The boat docked on a beach, and Ji Fan and the others got off the boat and jumped ashore.

Then they ascended to the nearest mountain.

Standing on the top of the hill and looking around, you can only faintly see the outlines of the other two nearest islands.

And the island at the foot of the island, the area is not very vast, the radius is only dozens of miles, the island, all the ups and downs of the mountains, but see that there is something strange.

"The Nine Star Islands don't seem to be anything wonderful. ”

Senior Brother Dongfang looked around for a week and said with some disappointment.

"Don't worry, as far as I know, there is nothing peculiar about the Nine Star Islands during the day, but at night, everything will be different. ”

Ye Xiuyuan said with a smile: "The book says that at night, the starry sky will illuminate the Nine Star Islands brightly, and the starlight can be clearly visible to the naked eye like the slightest wisp of line. ”

"I know that, too. ”

Senior Brother Dongfang said with his eyebrows fluttering: "Brother Ye, your grandfather is an elder of the Medicine Valley, and he must know a lot about the Nine Star Islands, and his old man must have told you some unknown secrets, right?"

"Not really. ”

Ye Xiuyuan shook his head and said: "My grandfather was extremely talented back then, he reached the Astral Body Realm when he was a few years old, and he never entered the Jiuchen Secret Realm at all, and what he knew was also from what he saw in books or hearsay. ”

"Over the years, there have been so many people who have been to the Nine Star Islands, and anything special about it will be widely publicized, and everyone knows about it. ”

Ling Yun also chimed in.

"It's still some time before it gets dark, so let's not get together, let's go our separate ways and look for opportunities. ”

Senior Brother Dongfang said with a big grin: "After all, we are not all from the same court, if we have been together, we are embarrassed to fight for any opportunity, it is too boring." ”

"It's okay to split up. ”

Ye Xiuyuan nodded in agreement, then looked at Ji Fan again, and said, "Brother Ji, you don't mind if I follow, right?"
