Chapter 288: Shark Man, New Cultivation Direction?
Thousands of feet in the sky.
The wind falcon flapped its wide, pale teal wings, maintaining its form in the raging wind.
Lu Xuan stood on its back, looking down.
The islands are dotted with islands of different sizes, and the sea stretches along with the islands, which is boundless, and has a magnificent beauty under the golden sunlight.
"Finally arrived at the Empty Styx."
Lu Xuan looked at a large island below with an area at the forefront of the archipelago and muttered to himself.
After he left Linyangfang City, he didn't go anywhere else, and followed the route demarcated by the sect, and came to the vicinity of the Empty Styx Island in two days.
He put the wind falcon away and slowly landed on the empty island.
The island of the Empty Styx stretches for hundreds of miles, and the island is full of craggy rocks, and only in the center of the island lives many monks and mortals.
Lu Xuan walked on the bluestone street.
From time to time, the sea breeze blows, and there is a faint salty smell in the coolness.
There were many monks on the streets, mainly low-level Qi cultivators, occasionally I saw one or two middle-level Qi cultivators, and I didn't see one of the high-level ones.
There was a clear difference between the monks on the island and those in Linyangfang City, dressed rough and wild, and their exposed skin was tanned and shiny.
There are many stalls on both sides of the street, and the goods on them are also very distinctive.
"Daoyou came to take a look, there are a large number of silver silk algae, freshly picked from the sea, only three spirit stones and a catty."
A swarthy young man next to him saw Lu Xuan looking at the things in his stall and greeted him warmly.
In his stall, there was a large pile of silver seaweed, and the seaweed still had a moist smell, like a large clump of wet silver hair.
"What is this silver filament for?"
Lu Xuan grabbed a ball of silver silk algae and asked curiously.
"After being air-dried and mashed, it can be used as a refining material for many pills."
"I see, but I don't need it much at the moment."
Lu Xuan politely refused and continued to wander the streets.
Not only the spirit plants, but also the demon beast materials, magic weapons, and talismans on the stall are also unique.
Many of the monster beast materials come from the sea at a glance, and there are sea fish, turtles, and sea beasts of different shapes, almost all of which contain rich water spiritual power.
Magic weapons and talismans are also closely related to the sea area, and Lu Xuan has seen a lot of water-resisting type magic talismans.
"Huh?"
While strolling, Lu Xuan suddenly stopped and stopped in front of a stall.
On the stall, two dying sea beasts were locked.
The sea beast has a strange shape, and its lower body is not much different from that of a sea fish, with dense blue and black scales and a pair of short webbed feet.
What surprised Lu Xuan a little was that the upper body of the sea beast in front of him was somewhat similar to that of a human.
The pupils are green, the nose is flat, many sharp teeth stick out of the lips, and from time to time light green saliva drips to the ground, and a fishy smell hits the face.
Although it looks extremely hideous, there are obvious human traces on his facial features.
"May I ask Daoyou, what is the origin of this sea beast?"
The stall owner was a stout man with a long centipede-like scar on his face.
"Fellow Daoist, this is a merman, living in the deep sea, these two ends are obtained by me and my companions with great difficulty, they can be used for domestication, and they can also be used to obtain a variety of materials directly from the body."
The stout man vaguely probed Lu Xuan's breath, and his spiritual sense seemed to be deeply immersed in the whirlpool, knowing that he had touched the iron plate, the centipede scar on his face shook twice unconsciously, and said with a smile.
"Shark ...... Why is it so similar to the Terrans? ”
Lu Xuan suppressed the urge to try feeding the merman and continued to ask.
"Legend has it that there is a kind of shark beast in the deep sea, which lures monks into traps, forcibly intermates, and finally gives birth to such a monster that is neither human nor beast."
The stall owner groaned and explained to Lu Xuan.
"Cross-species mating? Breaking through reproductive isolation? Lu Xuan thought subconsciously.
"After the demon beasts of different breeds and bloodlines mate with each other, what offspring will they bring?"
He seems to have discovered a new direction of cultivation, and when cultivating spirit plants, there is an inducement of spirit seeds, and by changing the growth environment of spirit plants, resulting in their mutations.
And if you want to change the bloodline of the spirit beast, it seems that you can consider it from the spirit beast hybridization.
Lu Xuan secretly thought that he was determined to have a chance and maybe he could experiment.
The possibility of giving birth to offspring is almost zero when spirit beasts of different bloodlines mate, and there are many dangers in the process, but Lu Xuan can grasp the detailed state of the spirit beast, and he must be able to make corresponding adjustments at any time, greatly improving the success rate.
He continued to wander the streets for a while, coming to the center of the empty island.
"Tell you the island master, the Heavenly Sword Sect has arrived."
In front of a majestic building, Lu Xuan said to a monk guarding the door.
"Heavenly Sword Sect? Yes, yes, yes! The little ones are going! ”
The monk guarding the door was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately, and climbed into the building.
Soon, there was a sound of chickens flying and dogs jumping in the building, and immediately, a large group of monks hurried out.
"I don't know if the seniors have arrived, I have missed the distance, please forgive the seniors!"
The leader was an elegant monk with slightly white cheeks, who practiced qi at a high level, and when he saw Lu Xuan, he felt the fluctuations of his spiritual power in the foundation building realm, and immediately believed eight or nine points, and bent down deeply to greet him.
More than ten or twenty people in the back also bowed respectfully.
"It's Song Yu, the owner of the Empty Styx Island?" Before Lu Xuan came over, he learned a little about the Empty Styx Island, and knew that the Empty Styx Island was run by a small family surnamed Song, and the owner of the island was named Song Yu.
"It's under the bottom, I don't know how the seniors are called?"
Song Yu glanced at Lu Xuan with both eyes, and when he saw the unique identity nameplate of the inner disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect that he had taken out, he asked solemnly.
"Lu Xuan, but I heard that your Song family has some relationship with the Heavenly Sword Sect, just call me uncle, there is no need to make such a fuss."
"Yes! Uncle Lu, please come in. ”
The elegant monk welcomed Lu Xuan into the majestic building.
There are many small families like the Song family, most of which were established by the disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect who were exposed.
Many outer disciples had no hope of breaking through, and they failed to advance to the foundation building realm many times, and when they were disheartened, they walked out of the sect and spread out outside.
Therefore, the established family has a close connection with the sect, and is attached to the sect, guarding a certain place for the sect, providing various alchemy refining and refining cultivation resources, and taking what they need.
When Lu Xuan was still in the Qi cultivation stage, he went to solve the problem of insect pests once, and that small family was the above situation.
The same is true of the Song family, but the power is much greater.
"What was the situation on the island during the handover? The Empty Spirit Fish didn't encounter any major accidents, right? ”
Lu Xuan walked in front and asked Song Yu, who was one position behind him.
"Everything is as usual, the previous uncle made careful arrangements before leaving, and during this time, although there was no uncle on the island, it was quite stable."
"There were two waves of poaching of small sea beasts in the offshore area where the Empty Spirit Fish was raised, but we repelled them and not a single one was stolen."
Song Yu lowered his head and replied respectfully.
