Chapter 160: An Unexpected Encounter

The skull of the fish monster at the peak of the Yuan Infant Stage has been refined and has become a quasi-spiritual treasure-level existence, and the overall shape of the fish monster skull is still maintained, and the surface is inlaid with a large number of metal ornaments, which looks mysterious and luxurious. Those metals are not gold or silver, but they are ten million times more precious than gold and silver, this is Ye Yan dismantled two pieces of garbage spirit weapons to decompose, the role of the pattern is of course not for beauty, but to ensure that the blood pool aura is not lost.

The process of refining also consumed a hundred high-grade spirit stones, and the stone, as the universal currency of the immortal cultivation world, was by no means because of its beauty and rarity, but because of its wide range of uses, the spirit stone was an indispensable material for alchemy and refining, and it could also be used directly for cultivation, but the effect was not satisfactory.

In order to improve the strength of the skull, Yeyan also used some black gold powder, and the refined skull was glowing with a layer of golden color, which was extremely demonic.

The massive skull had been refined to shrink to the size of a fist, and it was played with by Ye Yan.

"You went out to sea to hunt fish monsters just for this skull?" Zhen Qianqian, who arrived just in time, saw his achievements in the past few months.

"How do you know?" Ye Yan couldn't help but be surprised.

"Isn't this hard to guess? Although you don't know your true identity, if you can take out the eight-headed Jindan Stage Spirit Rider, there must be no shortage of spirit stones, and after the flying boat sets sail, you are also indifferent to the harvest of hunting. It can be inferred from this that you are not going out to sea to hunt to earn spirit stones. Ever since you got this skull, you've lost interest in hunting, and you've been hiding in the cabin all day long. Zhen Qianqian had some doubts at first, seeing this refined fish monster skull, someone's secret was not about to come out.

"I actually let Miaomiao see through it, don't tell others. Ye Yan was as hippie smiling as ever.

"Every monk on this flying boat has his own secrets, and everyone is indifferent to other people's secrets, why should I be a villain in vain? Besides, do I look like a mouthy person?" What surprised Zhen Qianqian was that this kid had too many secrets, where did a monk in the foundation building period get the eight-headed spirit horse of the Jindan stage? How did he borrow this top warship? There is also the ghost sea that expells fish monsters, obviously not an ordinary ten thousand ghost flags can do it, and now, she found that this kid can actually refine weapons! It's just that she won't spy on other people's secrets.

"Does Miao Miao also have secrets? Tell me, why did you go out to sea to hunt fish monsters?" Ye Yan took the initiative to spy on other people's secrets.

"To earn spirit stones, of course. For this secret that is not a secret, Zhen Qianqian was too lazy to hide it, and asked all the high-level monks on the flying boat, and the answer was the same, if it wasn't for earning spirit stones, who would be willing to risk their lives to go to sea to hunt.

This was obviously not a secret that Ye Yan wanted to explore, but it made him a little curious, "You high-level cultivators still lack spirit stones?"

Zhen Qianqian said strangely, "Who told you that high-level monks don't lack spirit stones?"

Ye Yan himself is not short of spirit stones, and the people he contacts are either ancestors or sect masters, and he takes it for granted that high-level monks are not short of money, "I also guess casually, monks above the Jindan period are at least an elder in the sect, and enjoy the sect's offerings, if you like it, you can also mix with the ancestor to play, and you can go to the sea for a few spirit stones to play with your life?"

Zhen Qianqian asked amusedly, "Are you really a sect disciple?" You actually have such a strange idea! How can an old ancestor be a good person? The Jindan period is just the threshold to become an old ancestor, and he has the qualifications to stand on his own. Is there anyone willing to join your forces, and will other forces buy your account? That's another matter! Besides, it's not easy to manage one side of the power of the sect, and the sect rarely helps the power of the ancestor in terms of resources, and the net worth of the ancestor is also fought back by himself with his fists, and the monk who has the ability to be an ancestor cannot be poor himself. ”

............ In the final analysis, Ye Yan has put the cart before the horse, being an ancestor is not a way to make money, on the contrary, if you want to become the ancestor of a force, you must have amazing strength and abundant wealth.

"The higher monks are poorer than the lower ones. Zhen Qianqian truthfully told him the truth.

"Why is that, isn't it easier for a high-level monk to earn spirit stones?" Ye Yan asked puzzled.

"You just saw the supernatural powers of high-level monks, and thought that it was easy for high-level monks to earn spirit stones, why don't you think about it, the consumption of high-level monks is also greater, what is the price of the pill in the Qi refining period? What is the price of the pill in the Jindan period? Can the two be compared? The price of the Broken Fan Pill that broke through the Qi refining period is only 40,000 spirits, and the sect with good welfare simply distributed it to the disciples. Even for those sects with poor welfare, disciples at the peak of Qi refining can find a way, and maybe they can make up enough spirit stones on their own. The Ascending Heaven Pill in the Foundation Building Period is worth 30 million spirits, how can a poorer monk raise this spirit stone? The pill in the Jindan period is even more expensive. Zhen Qianqian rolled his eyes fiercely. "Also, when it comes to the Jindan period, the monk must also start at least one spiritual weapon, and if possible, it is best to have two spiritual weapons, one spiritual weapon for attack, and one spiritual weapon for personal protection, and the flying horse must also be started, otherwise it will be difficult to find work on the dock. ”

Ye Yan naturally thought of Wu Zonghua, this person was a disciple of a top sect, or a law enforcement disciple, and the benefits he enjoyed were not low, but he still couldn't afford to buy the Ascending Heaven Pill, not to mention ordinary disciples.

The Ascending Heaven Pill used in the foundation building period was still sold for 30 million spirits, and the pills that broke through the Jindan stage could not be sold for hundreds of top-grade spirit stones? In fact, the pills in the Jindan period could not be bought with spirit stones, especially the pills used to break through the realm were even rarer.

Just imagine, breaking the Van Dan is already rare. Unless you encounter the auction of the Liuyun Sect, if you want to buy the Ascending Pill, you can only try your luck at the auction houses in the major markets. As for the elixir that broke through the Jindan period, Yeyan has not seen anyone sell it so far.

"You have only reached the foundation building stage now, and of course you feel a lot of benefits when you see the Jindan stage cultivators, and when you yourself have cultivated to the Jindan stage, you will know that the pill is not enough at all. Zhen Qianqian patiently explained to him, "A disciple of a sect who has just started, if he has the potential to cultivate to the Jindan stage, he must have been vigorously cultivated by the sect, plus the pills in the refining qi stage are not valuable, and the resources he gets are very abundant. By the time this disciple cultivated to the foundation building period, the value of the pills used had increased, and the resources he had obtained had been relatively reduced. When this cultivator really cultivates to the Jindan stage, he will get even fewer resources. ”

Ye Yan can understand this, and automatically sat down with her own glamorous sect master: "This principle is the same as feeding pigs, the sect master can grow a pig to two hundred catties, she will try her best to feed this pig to two hundred catties, but when this pig really grows to two hundred catties, it will be a waste to feed the grain!"

That's what it means...... Offerings will still be given, but not as vigorously cultivated before. Zhen Qianqian felt that although this analogy was indecent, it was still appropriate, and continued to explain to him, "A disciple who has the potential to cultivate to the Jindan stage must not be bad, and he doesn't need too many pills at all at the low level. On the contrary, after cultivating to the Golden Pill Stage, his own talent has reached the limit, and if he continues to break through at this time, his dependence on the pill will increase significantly, but the sect stopped cultivating him at this time. ”

Ye Yan was still very kind, and thought about it empathically: "This can't be resentful of the sect, a disciple's talent can only impact the Jindan stage, and when he reaches the Jindan stage, he still cultivates with his life, it will be too cost-effective." ”

Zhen Qianqian has been wandering around since the foundation building period, and naturally she will not find fault with the sect, "The sect has sectarian considerations, and the choices made must naturally be in line with the interests of the sect, which will not be wrong." However, it was impossible for a monk to give up his cultivation path, so he had to find a way to obtain resources on his own. Small fights cannot satisfy the needs of high-level monks to earn spirit stones, and high-level monks must go to dangerous places if they want to obtain enough resources. Didn't you also say that the risk and the benefit are directly proportional. ”

Ye Yan questioned: "That's what I said, but I think that hunting fish monsters in the Endless Sea, the risks and benefits are seriously disproportionate, more than a hundred monks have spent so much effort, taken such a big risk, and two people died in the middle, just to hunt fish monsters of the same level, it seems a little worthless." ”

"Of course, you find it tricky to come to the sea to fight the fish monsters, and on land, a hundred fish monsters can't beat a monk of the same rank. Zhen Qianqian had a strange expression, "There are not many ways for monks to earn spirit stones, except for those monks who are good at alchemy or refining, who are supported by the sect as ancestors. Monks like us, who have nothing to do, have no choice but to collect some medicinal herbs and hunt spirit beasts to earn spirit stones. The spirit beasts in the hinterland of Qizhou have already been captured and killed. At the moment, there are only some opportunities in the Endless Sea at the southern end and the Death Sand Sea at the western end. These two places are too dangerous for the sect's hand to reach into, and there are still a large number of spirit beasts left to hunt. ”

"Miaomiao, don't crowd people, I can refine weapons, didn't I also come to hunt fish monsters? Ye Yan laughed dryly, this sister is not like her own daughter-in-law, she has always been cultivated by the sect, even if she leaves the sect, she also gets a large dowry. She is not like the daughter of the little goblin who is the master of the door, she has come all the way from the wind and waves. In fact, her talent is completely capable of enjoying sectarian treatment, but she would rather give up the sect's offerings for the sake of freedom. It sounds a bit silly, but Ye Yan is not like her, and would rather not be cultivated by the sect master for the sake of freedom. So Ye Yan can understand her thoughts, not to mention that she doesn't know how to refine weapons at all, even if she knows how to refine weapons, she doesn't like that kind of boring life.

"You're here to hunt fish monsters in the Endless Sea? Zhen Qianqian glanced at him very seriously.

"You have to speak with your conscience, this time, I share weal and sorrow with everyone, and I have never been lazy, even after getting the fish monster skull, I didn't say that I wouldn't hunt the fish monster, right?" Ye Yan felt that he was the hardest person on this flying boat, and he also felt that his sister was in a good mood at the moment, and said tentatively: "Speaking of which, this time I went to sea is really a big gain, the fish monster's skull is obtained, and I also learned to control the flying boat, or I will continue to stay in the endless sea to fish, and we will continue to cooperate." ”

Zhen Qianqian couldn't hear his voice, but she deliberately pretended not to understand, "I'm tired of staying in the Endless Sea, and I'm going to leave for a while after returning to the Death Sand Sea to have a look." ”

Ye Yan saw the opportunity and said: "Coincidentally, I also happen to want to go to the Death Sand Sea, so it is better for us to go together." ”

Since this time, although Ye Yan has not taken the initiative to confess anything, she has been constantly knocking on the side of the temptation. With Zhen Qianqian's intelligence, I couldn't guess his thoughts, I had already forgiven him in my heart, but I hated him elm head, and deliberately made a mistake, "Who wants to go with you?" ”

"That place is too dangerous, Miaomiao goes alone, I don't feel at ease. Ye Yan deliberately made a distressed look.

............ Zhen Qianqian was completely defeated, listening to this meaning, people are his people, no matter what he does in the future, where he wants to go, he must be reassured.

"Even if you can find a flying boat, can you still find a boat owner like me who has first-class control skills?"

"I'll talk about that later, everyone is waiting for you in the cabin. Zhen Qianqian didn't dare to entangle with him anymore, and explained her intentions in time.

"Everyone is waiting for me in the cabin, what are they waiting for me for? It's too early to share the spoils, right?" Ye Yan secretly scolded herself, although this trip was very fruitful, but the harvest of hunting can only be sold after returning to the voyage, and now even if you want to fight dirty, you can't divide it.

"Why are you talking so ugly, everyone gathered to celebrate, and they came to call you. Zhen Qianqian is angry and funny. The harvest was very gratifying, and the high-ranking monks on the flying boat often celebrated when they were not hunting. When the flying boat set sail, those high-ranking monks didn't take Ye Yan in their eyes at all, and naturally they didn't come to Ye Yan when they celebrated, and Ye Yan didn't bother to join in the excitement.

But after all the ups and downs along the way, they regarded Ye Yan as a member of the team, and naturally they had to find Ye Yan when they celebrated, and Ye Yan, the owner of the flying boat, would be a little arrogant if he didn't show up.

Since this trip was all high-level monks, there were not many materials stored on the flying boat, and there was absolutely no shortage of fine wine.

"There is a flying boat hunting fish monsters in front, it seems to be a monk from Huizhou!" a monk who let off the wind burst in from outside, and his tone became a little out of shape.

The danger of the Endless Sea formed a moat, separating Huizhou and Qizhou, so although Huizhou was strong and Qizhou was weak, the two sides could still be at peace. However, the fish monsters that both sides came to the open sea to hunt were in the same area.

The Endless Sea is too vast, and although both sides have flying boats to hunt in the open sea, it is very rare to collide, but once encountered, it is inevitable that the situation will be tense.
