"Tianmai Daoist, please come in quickly, I'll introduce you to a few old friends."

Han Zongyuan said enthusiastically.

Su Chen smiled and followed behind him, while secretly looking at the people in the room, and when the other cultivators saw this, they also looked at the door, and their expressions were quite kind.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the Tianmai Daoist friend I told you, he has been practicing in retreat in Tianmai Mountain, and he was also a close friend of the Baiyun Dao people at the beginning."

Han Zongyuan said, introducing Su Chen to everyone.

When everyone heard this, they all nodded their heads and gave their hands, and each stepped forward to introduce themselves.

Only then did Su Chen know that they were all loose cultivators around the Chu Kingdom, and most of them were old people who had come to Penglai Immortal Island last time, so their strength was very good.

There is also a minimum of three levels of Qi refining cultivation.

The strongest is an old monk named "Fa Yan", who is kind and kind-eyed, has strong mana, and also has a cultivation of about four levels of qi refining.

"I have long heard Han Daoyou mention that there are masters in Tianmai Mountain who practice, and now when I see it, Daoyou is really extraordinary."

Monk Fayan said with a smile.

There is a way to reach out and not hit the smiling person, people are so polite, Su Chen did not refuse people thousands of miles away, and responded with a little head.

After getting to know each other, Han Zongyuan led him to sit next to him.

"Han Daoyou, these people are gathered here, I don't know what is going on?"

"Daoist friends don't know, after the opening of this Penglai Immortal Island, almost all the scattered cultivation in the entire southwest land has arrived, and the dragons and snakes are mixed, which is very dangerous. Therefore, we old fellows gather in one place, exchange information with each other, act together, and take care of each other. I know that you are the first time to come here, so I specially invite you to come here......"

Hearing Han Zongyuan's words, Su Chen nodded, and hurriedly arched his hand: "Thank you, Daoyou." ”

Although he had already asked Zhou Yi and the others to listen to the news in advance, he had a certain understanding of the situation on the island.

But after all, Zhou Yi and the others are also newcomers, and their strength is not strong enough, so the news they can hear is limited.

And these people in front of me are all old fritters who have been here once, and they are familiar with the road, and they must have more news.

You can listen to it first.

"Okay, now that the Heavenly Vein Daoist has arrived, let's continue to get down to business. It's not the first time you've been to this Penglai Immortal Island, and if you have found any news recently, tell it all and share it together. ”

Han Zongyuan is not the strongest among these people, but he seems to have a good relationship with everyone, so most of the time he is in the lead.

"I haven't heard anything new here, as before, most of the scattered cultivators are cultivating with the help of the aura here, preparing for the future immortal ascension ceremony."

"There were quite a few people coming this time. In addition to those like us who survived from the previous batch, there are also many newly rising cultivators who are very powerful. ”

"At our age, there is no other choice, no matter how strong the competition is, we can only go to the ring and fight hard. Gain a chance to survive. ”

Through everyone's conversation, Su Chen finally knew the specific trial content of this Immortal Ascension Ceremony.

The first is the audition, in which all the participating monks enter a closed valley to compete for a certain token, and the winner who stands out passes the first round.

After eliminating the first batch of weak loose cultivators, it is a battle of life and death.

In the two-on-two battle, the final top 10 winners will be determined to qualify for the teleportation array.

This is also the most cruel of all assessment methods.

The first round is fine, but if you enter the second round, everyone will do their best and do their best for that opportunity.

I don't know how many people will die by then.

Fortunately, Su Chen didn't plan to end up in person, but just listened to some details related to the rules as much as possible, and planned to go back and tell Zhou Yi so that he could prepare more.

Of course.

Su Chen would not force Zhou Yi to participate in this grand event, after all, if he was in a life and death fight, his life would be in danger.

Whether or not to give it a go when the time comes, Su Chen will respect his own choice.

"There is still a period of time before the opening of the Immortal Ascension Ceremony, so we have to take advantage of this time to try to improve our strength."

"That's right. Recently, I heard an interesting piece of news that I would like to share with you. ”

At this time.

A pot-bellied old man next to him said, "I heard that there is a monk from Middle Earth who has paid a lot of money to buy the Immortal Ascension Order!" ”

As soon as the three words of the Immortal Ascension Order came out, everyone present couldn't help but prick up their ears.

Even Su Chen cheered up.

Offering a bounty for the acquisition of the Immortal Ascending Order?

"What's so strange about that. The Immortal Ascension Order allows people to skip the Ascension Conference directly, and through the teleportation array, they don't need to be restricted by anyone, who doesn't want it? The so-called bounty acquisition, every time the grand event opens, someone does it, but no one is stupid enough to take out the immortal ascension order to sell it, right? ”

"Nope. This time the situation is different, the person who made the shot may be from the Middle Earth Immortal Cultivation Realm, and it seems that he is still a disciple of the sect, and the shot is also extremely generous. You can give a quota for ascending to immortals, and you can bring all kinds of spirit stone resources and treasures! ”

"The Immortal Ascension Order was originally intended to enter the Middle-earth World, and the quota for the ascension of immortals was determined, which was of comparable value, and it also gave away additional spirit stone resources, isn't this a loss-making transaction? And he is already a disciple of the Middle Earth Sect, why do you want this immortal ascension order? ”

"I don't know. I heard that it is for a deceased descendant. And that person may be too weak to even pass the first round, so there is no way to use the quota to select ......"

The crowd was gossiping.

Some people doubt the authenticity of the news, and some people are jealous, but they don't know the clues of the immortal ascension order, so they can only give up.

Su Chen figured out something from this news.

This bounty news is likely to be deliberately released by the Blue Blood Ancestor, who wants to use other loose cultivators in this way to find out the person who has the immortal ascension order, or is it luring the snake out of the hole?

"It doesn't matter. Anyway, I didn't plan to use the Immortal Ascension Order this time, and I didn't have the idea of trading it. Regardless of whether this person is a Blue Blood Ancestor or not, it has nothing to do with me. Besides, the Immortal Ascension Order may not be the only one left with me, maybe it wasn't for me. ”

Su Chen was silent and did not participate in the discussion.

At this time.

The Fayan monk, who had never spoken much, said: "There has always been a legend of the Immortal Ascension Order, but the people who have seen it are always a minority, and it is even more difficult to find it. Instead of focusing on this, it is better to think of ways to improve our strength as much as possible. ”

When everyone heard this, they all looked at the old monk.

"Fayan Daoyou, don't sell it. I invited you friends over this time, because I heard that you have a relationship with a big man from Middle-earth, what good is it, but don't forget our old friends! ”

Han Zongyuan also spoke at this time.

As soon as everyone heard that it was beneficial, they immediately became interested and urged, and the old monk no longer played tricks, and said: "You all know that this Penglai Immortal Island has been sunk in the deep sea for sixty years, and every time it is opened, it will bring some secret treasures in the sea. I did know a disciple of the Middle-earth Immortal Sect, and from him, I got a piece of news. ”

"What's the news?"

"There is a thousand-year-old pearl mussel on the island, and there is a super spirit bead in its body, and the strength of the spiritual energy contained in it is unimaginable. If you can get this thing, it will be worth as much as thousands of low-grade spirit stones......"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present couldn't help but become short of breath.

Of course, they knew the efficacy and value of the spirit stone, and on Penglai Island, the value of the spirit bead was almost equal to the spirit stone.

Thousands of spirit stones, this is a huge fortune.

There are so many good things on the island, they all want to buy them, but they are shy in their pockets, if they can get this thousand-year-old spirit bead, everyone can get at least hundreds of spirit stones, and they can buy a lot of treasures and magic weapons.

When the time comes, if you go to participate in the Immortal Ascension Ceremony, you will definitely be able to increase your confidence.

"Fellow Daoist, is this news accurate?"

"It's true. However, I am not alone in knowing this news, and there are other scattered cultivators who have also learned about the existence of the thousand-year-old clam essence through this channel. Therefore, Lao Wei asked Han Daoyou to find some helpers. ”

Monk Fayan did not hide it, and told the general situation of the matter.

The pearl mussel is a spirit animal in the sea, and it has no combat power in itself, even if it survives for a thousand years, it will not have too strong strength.

With the strength of everyone present, there is every chance to win.

It's just that there are many people who are eyeing the thousand-year-old clam essence now, and if they want to seize this thing, there will definitely be a great risk.

But if you can succeed, the benefits will be beyond imagination.

"The thousand-year-old clam essence is hard to find!"

"We are all short of longevity now, and it is impossible to survive the next Immortal Ascension Conference, this is the only chance!"

"No matter what, you have to give it a go. If the news is accurate, Fayan Daoyou, count me in on this matter! ”

"I'll go too!"

Everyone thought about it for a while, and expressed their wishes.

In the end, only Su Chen was left and had not yet expressed his position, and everyone couldn't help but look at each other.

To be honest, Su Chen didn't have much interest in this so-called thousand-year-old spirit bead.

Because he can use alchemy to use spirit stones, for the time being, even if he is short of money, it is not enough to the point where he needs to work hard.

Besides, since this news has already been known to so many people, it will definitely be chaotic and dangerous at that time.

It's not worth it to fight hard for a little spirit stone.

Moreover, he is not clear about the origin of these people, and if it is a trap, the consequences are unimaginable.

Of course, he didn't directly refuse.

After all, I learned the news from them, if I refuse to go, maybe the other party will have the intention of killing people, after all, this kind of thing, it is definitely better to have one less competitor.

So he nodded and said, "Thanks to your affordability, of course I am willing to go with you." However, I still have a few friends who are also on the island at this time, so I need to pay a visit first, I'm afraid it will ......."

When everyone heard this, their expressions changed slightly, but they quickly returned to normal.

Monk Fayan was relieved: "It's okay. The thousand-year-old clam spirit is still hidden in a hidden place, and it will not come out until the time. Our actions will not start immediately, Tianmai Daoist friends can go and meet up with their friends first, and we will notify you when the time comes. ”

"Of course, it's better not to tell anyone about it, your friends......"

"Don't worry, I still understand the importance of this. When there is one more person, we will also have fewer spirit stones. ”

"Okay, then it's settled."

Han Zongyuan got up at this time, handed a yellow talisman to Su Chen, and said, "We will all settle down here during this time." When the time comes, I will use this charm to inform my fellow Daoists that you can come and gather. ”

"Thank you very much."

Su Chen accepted the paper talisman, and then bowed his hand to everyone, and then got up and left.

"Han Daoyou, is your friend credible? If he spreads the word......"

"It doesn't matter. The news of the thousand-year-old spirit bead is not exclusive to us, and it doesn't matter much if it spreads. Moreover, he doesn't know the specific time and place, if he wants to compete for the spirit bead, he still has to join forces with us. ”

"Well, I've had some encounters with this old man, and I don't think he looks like that kind of sinister and cunning person. Moreover, he had interacted with Baiyun Daoist and learned his formation, which would be very helpful to our actions when the time came. ”

"So let's do it first. There should still be some time before the clam spirit appears, so you should take this opportunity to make as many preparations as possible......"

……

At this time, Su Chen had already left the attic, but the powerful divine consciousness detection still caught everyone's conversation.

"It doesn't sound like much of a problem. But why did the news of this thousand-year-old spirit bead suddenly spread. Who is the Middle-earth monk behind the Fayan monk? ”

Su Chen always felt that something was wrong.

However, he had no intention of actually going on an expedition with them.

Let's get out and leave.

Go back and use the method of dreaming to explore their details, and maybe there will be gains.

While thinking about it, Su Chen had already hidden his breath and left the city.

Then he turned around and went out of the city, went around a big circle outside, and finally found an uninhabited remote courtyard by himself, and after exploring, he set up a formation to defend.

That's just a little reassuring.

"The thousand-year-old clam essence thing, don't worry about it for the time being. While you have time, let's refine the Gathering Spirit Pill first. No matter what happens, it's right to improve yourself as much as possible. ”

Thinking of this, Su Chen blocked the door, took out the Bagua Array Disk, and strengthened the defense again.

Only then did he take out the Great Sun Oven and the elixir materials he had just purchased, and prepared to start alchemy.

……

Three months passed quickly.

Su Chen has refined all the elixir materials into a Gathering Spirit Pill, except for the slightly lower success rate when he first got started, he gradually became familiar with it later, and he was able to guarantee a success pill rate of more than fifty percent.

In the end, a total of more than fifty Gathering Spirit Pills were refined, which should be enough for his own cultivation for a period of time.

Besides.

The newly purchased rune paper rune pen also allowed him to try to draw more high-level spirit runes, copying those runes that had been rubbed from the rune treasures, and Su Chen finally succeeded in drawing two new rune seals.

Lightning Strike Charm: Injects mana, which will send out a lightning bolt to bombard enemies.

The power is good, and it can be used as a weakened version of the wind and thunder seal.

Like the Burning Sun Talisman, they are all runes and consumable items that are simply used for attack, so Su Chen drew more than ten of them.

Invisibility Talisman: This talisman is attached to the body to make the body invisible and blend in with the surrounding environment.

However, it needs to be used in conjunction with the secret method of masking aura and divine mind exploration to achieve the best effect.

The simple invisibility talisman is just a blinding method, and it will be detected by the Heavenly Eye Technique and Divine Thoughts.

However, Su Chen's own divine thoughts are powerful, and if he refines the skin of the ink snake into a new magic robe, with this invisibility talisman, he can almost achieve complete and true invisibility.

So next, Su Chen put all his energy on studying the "Detailed Explanation of Primary Refining".
