Under the scorching sun, under the lush green peaks in the middle of Lamma Island, a lazy and triumphant humming sound can be heard from an elegant courtyard.

"Hmph... After eating sea cucumber stewed pork, the gods... Xian'er also... Not as good as me, ah... Yikes! ”

In the small courtyard, the Breitling banyan tree grows luxuriantly, blocking the blazing sunlight and creating a large area of shade. In the shade, Xin Buhai squinted his eyes, lying on a wide recliner very leisurely, beating the beat with his right hand, and humming a little song intermittently in his mouth.

There was a porcelain pot on the stove beside him, in which the fat of the ginseng was black and white, and the broth was tumbling, exuding a rich fragrance.

Smelling the fragrance of spiritual food in the pot, Xin Buhai was in a very comfortable mood.

As an immortal cultivator of the third level of Qi refining, Xin Buhai's status on Lamma Island can be regarded as above 10,000 people under one person.

Just wait for the old man of his family to die, and the position of the lord of Lamma Island will fall into his hands sooner or later.

The thought that the more than 20,000 people on the island would be driven by him in the future made Xin Buhai excited.

“... It's rare in life... Drunk! Yikes! ”

Xin Buhai was humming beautifully, and suddenly felt a dark shadow in front of him.

When he opened his eyes, he saw a handsome and handsome young man standing beside him.

"You... Who are you? Why... Ah! ”

Halfway through his words, a momentum belonging to the Foundation Building Realm suddenly burst out from Zhao Sheng's body, and Xin Buhai's expression changed greatly, and he almost fell to the ground softly.

Don't look at Xin Buhai, who has a round face and big ears, and a fat body, like a pig, but others are extremely clever.

He hurriedly rolled over from the recliner to the ground, and begged for mercy again and again: "Seniors spare their lives!" The little one has eyes and no beads, which offends the prestige of the predecessors, and I hope that the seniors will spare the small one. ”

"Get up!" Zhao Sheng said surgingly.

"Hey, thank you seniors for your magnanimity!"

Xin Buhai got up from the ground with a grateful skelet, nodded and looked at Zhao Sheng.

Zhao Sheng sat on the recliner, his body relaxed and lay down, and at the same time inadvertently glanced at the hot pot on the side.

Seeing this, Xin Buhai immediately sneered: "Senior, this is the famous delicious spiritual food of Lamma Island, sea cucumber stewed meat. Not only does it taste great, but it's also a great tonic! ”

Zhao Sheng nodded noncommittally and asked, "Well, what's your name?" Where is this again? Tell me about the nearby seas. ”

"The small one's name is Xin Buhai, this is Lamma Island, located in the southwest of the Inner Star Sea, and belongs to the island under the jurisdiction of Jiuzhen Island, Xingsu Ling Island......"

While introducing the nearby customs and the situation of the immortal cultivation world in detail, Xin Buhai diligently took out a bowl of spiritual meat sea cucumber soup and sent it to Zhao Sheng's eyes.

After several years of retreat, Zhao Sheng came out of his mouth.

So he admired Xin Buhai's wit in his heart.

"When the time comes... Spare his life! After Zhao Sheng took a sip of the unusually delicious broth, a thought secretly came to his heart.

……

Seven days later, Zhao Sheng lay leisurely on the recliner under the Lingrong in the small courtyard and pretended to sleep.

On the side, Xin Buhai's face was full of sorrow, his hands clumsily pinched the magic trick, and he used his spiritual power, barely smashing a spiritual light into the body of the humanoid wooden puppet that was a head taller than him.

At this time, Xin Buhai was very worried, he originally lived freely, but since the predecessors came, the good days are gone.

He had only refined the third-layer realm of qi, and his predecessors actually begged him to refine a high-grade wooden puppet.

Xin Buhai didn't know why his predecessors asked him to do this, and he didn't dare to ask.

But such a valuable thing was handed over to him for refining, "Is this senior crazy or stupid?" Or... There are other schemes. ”

He, Xin Buhai, a fat man of more than 200 pounds, has not done anything bad!

In the middle of the day, Zhao Sheng slowly opened his eyes and said lazily: "Xiao Xinzi, it's time to eat, what are you going to eat today?"

Xin Buhai hurriedly stopped his movements and replied respectfully: "Senior, today the island sent a hundred-year-old sea snake, how about we make a steamed meat section?"

"Well, go ahead!" Zhao Sheng waved his hand and motioned to the other party.

"Hey, senior, wait a minute!"

As he spoke, Xin Buhai trotted into the kitchen near the left.

After Zhuji successfully exited the customs, Zhao Sheng originally just wanted to find a random substitute for the dead ghost and collect ancient paintings and bamboo baskets for him.

When passing by Lamma Island, I found Xin Buhai on the third layer of qi refining.

Cultivation is low, but after all, he is an immortal cultivator.

Therefore, Zhao Sheng chose Xin Buhai, but he didn't expect this guy to have good cooking skills.

After seven days, Zhao Sheng's mouth was fed by Xin Buhai.

Smelling the burst of aroma coming from not far away, Zhao Sheng secretly said in his heart: "It's a pity that this little guy is not a cook!"

……

Three months have passed in a flash.

On this day, Xin Buhai found Zhao Sheng with an excited face, and shouted excitedly: "Senior, I have refined!" I refined that puppet. ”

"Oh, really?"

As soon as the words fell, Xin Buhai felt a pain in his head, his eyes went dark, and he suddenly fainted, and there was still an excited expression on his face.

I don't know how long it took for Xin Buhai to become conscious.

"You're awake!"

A familiar voice sounded in his ears, and Xin Buhai subconsciously struck a spirit, and completely regained consciousness in an instant.

He reluctantly turned over and sat up, fell to the ground again, and begged for mercy with fear on his face: "Seniors spare their lives!" The little one didn't leak your traces to the outside, for the sake of the little one who has been doing his best to serve you for the sake of these three months. Spare the villain's life! ”

Seeing this, Zhao Sheng frowned slightly.

He really couldn't get used to Xin Buhai being so obscene and timid, so he said quietly: "Get up!" Where did I say I was going to kill you! ”

"Hey, isn't the little one afraid?"

Xin Buhai felt relieved when he heard this, got up from the ground with a sneering expression, and then looked at Zhao Sheng with a flattering face.

"Follow me!"

With an order, Xin Buhai followed Zhao Sheng to the door of the backyard lobby.

Xin Buhai secretly looked around, his expression quickly changing from shock to fear

Obviously, the sight of Beifu Cave made Xin Buhai realize that this place was extraordinary, and he couldn't help but worry that his life would not be saved.

Zhao Sheng saw the fear on Xin Buhai's face, and couldn't help knocking on his head, and said coldly: "Don't worry!" As long as you do one thing for me, I promise you won't die. ”

"Senior, you command!" Xin Buhai restrained his emotions and said respectfully.

Zhao Sheng pointed to the ancient painting in the lobby and ordered, "You manipulate the wooden puppet and take down the painting on the wall for me."

That's it?

Xin Buhai turned his head to look at the fishing picture of Hanjiang Laosu on the wall, and the pressure in his heart suddenly eased a little.

"Senior, wait a minute."

After speaking, Xin Buhai took out the wooden puppet, then transported the spiritual power, recited the control spell in his mouth, manipulated the spiritual power silk thread, and drove the wooden puppet to step into the lobby and walk to the innermost.

Zhao Sheng's eyes narrowed slightly, and a thick black aura enveloped the lobby in his sight, and the sense of crisis of death lingered in his heart.

However, when the wooden puppet touched the ancient painting, the scene that Zhao Sheng was most worried about did not happen.

Xin Buhai stood on the spot, manipulating the wooden puppet to easily take off the ancient painting.

"Be careful! Roll it up slowly! Zhao Sheng reminded cautiously.

"Uh-huh!"

Xin Buhai replied softly, and then rolled up the ancient paintings little by little according to Zhao Sheng's instructions.

When the ancient paintings were rolled into a scroll, Zhao Sheng's face instantly showed a look of surprise.

Because at this moment, the black aura of death in the lobby suddenly dissipated without a trace.

"Good, good! Xiao Xinzi, you have made a great contribution! Zhao Sheng couldn't help but praise Xin Buhai.

Then he commanded, "Next, you use a puppet to bring out the bamboo basket together."

Xin Buhai honestly followed the instructions, drove the wooden puppet to lift the green bamboo basket, and walked out of the lobby step by step.

"Senior... Belch! ”

As soon as Xin Buhai said two words, there was a sharp pain in his head, and then his eyes went black.

"Again!"

As the last thought flashed, Xin Buhai rolled his eyes and fainted suddenly.

……

The dazzling sunlight hit Xin Buhai's eyelids, and he was stung by the sunlight and woke up from his coma.

Xin Buhai turned over and sat up from the recliner, opened his eyes, looked around in confusion, and found that he had returned to the familiar courtyard.

The courtyard was empty, and there was no such hateful figure.

"Senpai?"

"Senpai?!"

He shouted tentatively, but found that no one responded.

Really gone?

After repeated confirmations, Xin Buhai cheered excitedly: "Great!"

At this moment, he suddenly saw a storage bag and a secret book on the stone table behind him, and the cover of the secret book read "Jin Ling Bai Lian Gong" with five big characters.

"Huh! It's..."

Just when Xin Buhai found out about the gift that Zhao Sheng had given him, a silver-white three-zhang flying boat, clinging to the sea, galloped towards Jiuzhen Island.

……

Two days later, the boat sped across the undulating sea

At this moment, Zhao Sheng saw a large gray ship suddenly floating on the sea in front of him.

This big ship is about 70 zhang long, with a huge and round belly, and the hull width is several times wider than that of ordinary ocean-going ships.

Zhao Sheng couldn't help frowning slightly when he saw this sea ship that suddenly appeared.

As soon as his mind moved, the light flying boat suddenly deviated, changed direction, bypassed the sea ship far away, and continued to fly forward.

However, the trees want to be quiet and the wind does not stop!

A stream of light suddenly flew up from the sea ship, and chased after the flying boat at great speed.

Zhao Sheng's eyes narrowed, and he quickly saw that there was a middle-aged man in a green robe in the streamer.

He commanded a cyan flying sword, and chased after him with great speed.

"Stop coming!"

Zhao Sheng's face sank, and the platinum spirit sword suddenly flew out from his waist, turning into a white-gold sword rainbow, which lay in front of the flying boat

"Haha, don't misunderstand Daoyou, there is no malice in the next, and I hope that Daoist friends don't blame."

The middle-aged man in the green robe laughed and quickly stopped ten zhang away.

But I saw that this person was dressed in a bamboo-blue robe, wearing a green jade crown hat on his head, and an emerald green spirit pendant tied around his waist, his face was full of books, and he seemed to be full of poetry and books.

Judging from the aura emanating from his body, this person is also an immortal cultivator in the foundation building period, but the specific cultivation cannot be seen on the surface.

Seeing that this person was very polite, Zhao Sheng's face turned slightly pale, and he asked, "Fellow Daoist, why are you blocking me from my way?"

"In Xia Meng, dare to ask the surname of Daoyougao?" The middle-aged man in the green robe did not respond positively, but bowed with a smile on his face.

"Zhao is a nameless person, so I won't mention my name. Meng Daoyou, you haven't answered my question yet? Seeing this, Zhao Sheng did not have any displeasure on his face, but there was a bit of dissatisfaction in his words

Seeing this, Meng Qiyi said with a slight smile:

"Don't blame fellow Daoists! This sea area is under the jurisdiction of our Spring and Autumn Alliance, because this place is somewhat secret and inconvenient for outsiders to know. That's why I came over to ask. But Meng definitely did not harbor any ill will. ”

"Meng Daoyou turned out to be a member of the Spring and Autumn League, and Zhao was about to go to Jiuzhen Island in your league, but he didn't expect to meet him here." Zhao Sheng's heart moved when he heard this, and he immediately put away the platinum flying sword, and replied with a haha.

Meng Qiyi was stunned at first when he heard this, but his eyes immediately lit up, and his expression became even more eager: "What a coincidence!" We are also about to return to Jiuzhen Island. Fellow Daoists might as well go back with us. ”

Zhao Sheng groaned and nodded, "If you want to please, it's better to meet by chance." Since this is the case, then bother Meng Daoyou! ”

Meng Qiyi's expression was even happier when he heard this, and he smiled and said, "Where, where!" Zhao Daoyou came from afar, and Meng should do his best to be a landlord. ”

As he spoke, Meng Qiyi led the way, while Zhao Sheng drove Feizhou to follow.

A moment later, in one of the largest passenger rooms on the ship, Zhao Sheng and Meng Qiyi sat opposite each other.

After Meng Qiyi poured Zhao Sheng a cup of spiritual tea, he asked tentatively, "I don't know why Zhao Daoyou went to Jiuzhen Island?" does not hide from fellow Daoists, and is in the position of an elder of the Spring and Autumn League, and he is quite thin on the island. If there is something to do, just ask, Meng may be able to help a little. ”

Zhao Sheng secretly said that he really wanted something, so he took the opportunity to speak: "After Zhao built the foundation, the original cultivation place no longer meets the needs of cultivation. I heard that Jiuzhen Island has a strong aura, and there are even high-level caves for rent, so I want to rent a cave for cultivation. ”

Meng Yiyi was secretly happy when he heard this, but there was a trace of embarrassment on his face, and he hesitated: "Daoist friends don't know. The number of high-level caves on the island is limited, and priority must be given to meeting the foundation of the Alliance. As far as I know, all the caves on the island that can be rented out to the outside world have long been rented out. ”

Zhao Sheng heard the meaning of his words, and asked smartly: "There is no outside, but there is still inside?"

Meng Qiyi nodded and smiled: "This alliance will spare a few high-level cave mansions all year round, which are specially reserved for the foundation building guest or elders to live and cultivate."

Zhao Sheng was at a loss, so he asked, "I don't know if your league still accepts Keqing?" Although Zhao has only been building the foundation for a few years and his strength is still shallow, he is quite good at the way of talismans. ”

"It's okay! As long as Zhao Daoyou is interested, the Spring and Autumn League welcomes any fellow foundation builder to join. Originally, this alliance was formed by many loose cultivators, and it did not exclude fellow outsiders at all. Meng Qiyi was overjoyed and hurriedly agreed, for fear that Zhao Sheng would refuse.

Zhao Sheng nodded and said with a smile: "Then there will be a recommendation from Lao Meng Daoyou."

As one of the thirty-six Star Soul Islands, Jiuzhen Island can be said to be the key place of the Inner Star Sea.

And the Inner Star Sea is the core area of the Broken Star Sea, and it is the real prosperous place for immortal cultivators, with excellent territory and abundant aura. There are countless large and small sect families.

Zhao Sheng originally planned to go directly to Xingshen Island and return to the Central Continent by transoceanic cloud boat after being promoted to Zhuji.

But then, he changed his mind for the time being.

First, Star God Island is the location of the Star God Palace, and it must be as skilled as a cloud and heavily defended. He has the blood of the spirit race, and he dared to break into the Star God Island, if he is recognized, I am afraid that he will not be able to live and die, and it will be difficult to die at that time.

Second, the Spring and Autumn League is a good place for him to clear his identity, and he will live on Jiuzhen Island for a few years for the time being, and when the news is clear, it will not be too late to leave.

The third is that Jiuzhen Island is a famous distribution center for immortal cultivation resources in the Broken Star Sea, and many alchemists gather here, Zhao Sheng wants to learn alchemy in this life, and there is no more suitable than Jiuzhen Island.
