Hearing this, Zhang Yuan pondered for a moment, and said with a smile: "With such a good encounter, there must be an obligation, right?"

Wan Qingfang hurriedly said: "No, no, there is no dispute between Xingzhuhai and other sects, everyone is very willing to cultivate in a stable environment, there will be no affairs to be completed at all, except for not being able to leave at will, and cooperating with some requirements of the ancestor, the seniors can enjoy all the treatment with peace of mind." ”

"Oh?" Zhang Yuan groaned slightly, a trace of strangeness was born in his heart, there are such good things in this world?

"Ancestor...... What are the requirements?"

Wan Qingfang smiled lightly: "It's not a difficult thing, it's just to do some maintenance of the big array, and plant and raise some spiritual things for the ancestor...... Because the requirements for the hands-on people are relatively high, it is at least required to build the foundation and repair the above. ”

"Is that all?" Zhang Yuan thought to himself, and suddenly asked, "You really want me to become a resident monk?"

"Yikes. Wan Qingfang covered her mouth shyly, and smiled embarrassedly: "I was seen by my seniors, in fact, ...... Don't say it, seniors, for every time we persuade one to become a resident monk, you can get a little reward, and even the seniors who introduced you will also get benefits. ”

"However, this is just that the Ancestor hopes that the strength of our Star Sea will become stronger and stronger, so that we can not be angry with those sects and clans, so that our scattered cultivation can hold this stable realm. ”

"Really?" Zhang Yuan asked again, "What is the contract?"

"Contract monks come and go freely, as long as they make a contract, they must not do anything that is detrimental to the sea of stars and their fellow paths, that's all. ”

Wan Qingfang cleared his throat and explained: "It's just that in this case, every time you enter the Star Island, you will charge a small amount of spirit stones, and if you want to cultivate here for a long time, you have to rent an island, which is very expensive. ”

"How much does it cost?"

"Billed on a daily basis, one spirit stone per day. Wan Qingfang said.

"It's not high. Zhang Yuan was stunned in his heart, and then realized that he had too much ill-gotten wealth and didn't know the value of firewood and rice.

"Then make a contract. He no longer hesitated.

Not to mention the oddities in it, just the fact that he couldn't leave at will, and he had to stay under the nose of the Yuanying Monk, these two points were enough to make him willing to stay away from this place.

With so many secrets on him, how dare he take such a risk?

Wan Qingfang was a little disappointed when she heard this, and wanted to try again, so she persuaded her: "Seniors really don't have to think about it? Although there is no freedom when you go to the Star Peak, it is only short-lived, I heard that many people have been driven down by the ancestors because they can't do things, but they have taken a lot of benefits because of this." ”

"No need. Zhang Yuan said lightly: "Take me to make a contract." ”

"Yes. Wan Qingfang knew that there was no play, so he had to take out a rune paper, which was faintly fluctuating, "The senior held this talisman and made an oath." ”

Zhang Yuan took it over and looked at it carefully, and secretly asked Xuanhu, and after making sure that there was no problem, he swore according to his words.

Wan Qingfang took back the rune paper and slapped it on a stone, and the rune paper instantly disappeared into it and disappeared.

"This is the entry and exit rune stone, please put it away from the seniors, otherwise you will be isolated from the Star Array and will not be able to enter. ”

Then, the two walked back to the hall and came to the three-dimensional virtual image array. At the moment, there are also people who are picking and choosing, apparently the same people who rent the island.

"There are 1,200 islands in our Nakshatra Sea, and caves have been built on them, all of which are included in the Nakshatra Great Array, you can cultivate to your heart's content, and you don't have to worry about being invaded by foreign enemies. ”

Zhang Yuan observed for a moment, chose an island near the edge, and then followed Wan Qingfang to pay the fee for half a year, spent more than a hundred spirit stones, and received a jade key.

"There is a small isolation formation on the island, and it is impossible to climb it without a jade key and without permission. Wan Qingfang explained.

Before leaving, Zhang Yuan stuffed a spirit stone to the girl, making the woman smile and thank her.

Out of the attic, he walked all the way back to the docks, then summoned the flying sword and soared into the air, turning into a black spot in the sky in the envious eyes of many mortals.

He was so impatient, naturally it was for the Void Phantom Body Method, and only by practicing it to the first layer could he rest assured that he could sneak out of the Sea of Stars and quietly return to Wang Jing to find the second daughter.

According to the instructions of the jade key, Zhang Yuan found the small island he had rented a quarter of an hour later, and looked down from the sky, like a bead falling on the ground.

The coconut grove is verdant, the white sand is delicate, like an island scenery, Zhang Yuan landed, passed through the invisible prohibition without hindrance, and stood on this small island.

The island is not big, a radius of about a mile, and the only building is a stone hall with a simple shape, which seems to have an ancient style.

The hall is spacious and the layout is simple, Zhang Yuan observed for a moment, and then took out the sixteen magic swords in the ring and arranged them outside the stone hall in a certain order.

The island's own isolation formation, he can't believe it, for the sake of insurance, just in case, a set of protective sword formations stored in Ji Haoran's ring solved his doubts very well, and it can be said that he is thoughtful.

After everything was arranged and sure that nothing was missing, Zhang Yuan took out the jade slip, put his mind into it, and began to study.

The Void Phantom Body Method, recorded in the jade slip, was a secret method of self-defense passed on to the younger generations by an ancestor of the Xie family.

And this set of secret methods, there are very few people who can fully practice to the third layer, not only have extremely high requirements for cultivation, but also require strong understanding, and can break the shackles imposed by heaven and earth on the human race.

This passage seems mysterious and mysterious to Zhang Yuan, and it is impossible to understand, but he has not yet reached that point, and he doesn't need to worry about the rest of the matter.

The first layer of the illusion technique, which is different from the breath-holding technique taught to him by Nan Qiluo, is based on the principle of suppressing and blocking one's own breath and spiritual pressure, but instead uses a large amount of spiritual power to virtualize one's physical body, so that oneself enters a state between reality and illusory, so as to avoid the detection of monks.

As Xie Lingfeng said, this technique is extremely spiritual power-consuming, and the foundation building monks can't support it for long, not to mention that Zhang Yuan is still in the condensation period.

Time passed day by day, and after two months, Zhang Yuan had basically understood the meaning, and then began to enter the practice stage to achieve the goal of mastery.

In the previous month, Zhang Yuan couldn't grasp the subtle balance at all, either his limbs did not enter the phantom state, or his torso showed flaws, and there were always places in place all over his body.

It wasn't until eight months later, under continuous recovery and practice, that Zhang Yuan's control of spiritual power finally reached an extremely subtle level, only to see a slight change in his body, as if distorted, as if fading, as if the light shone through, but did not shine on the entity, but penetrated his body.

If this is the case, then what appears should be a cloud of darkness or void, but the real picture in front of him is that Zhang Yuan's body is still the same as usual, it seems to be real, flesh and blood, only when the divine sense sweeps on him, it will happen that there is nothing there, as if this person is just a shadow.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Zhang Yuan felt that his spiritual power was exhausted, and his body slowly returned to its original state.

But the first layer of illusion technique has been practiced after all!
