Hearing this, Han Changlin finally understood, this way of exchanging the soul card full of demon beast spirits for the cave mansion was actually a way to encourage immortal cultivators to kill as many demon beasts as possible.
Of course, what the beautiful woman said about the good intentions of the Imperial Water Palace, he sneered at it in his heart, what is the expansion of the territory of the human race, in his opinion, it is just perfunctory, the real purpose of the Imperial Water Palace is naturally to expand the sea area under his control.
In addition, in this way, attract more immortal cultivators to this Thunder Stone Immortal City, go to the depths of the endless open sea through the Thunder Stone Immortal City to experience, kill demon beasts, and the number of immortal cultivators will naturally bring the prosperity of Thunder Stone Immortal City, and the tax alone may be able to make the high-level of the Royal Water Palace laugh.
However, Han Changlin was also really impressed by the Imperial Water Palace's method of attracting people's hearts, thinking that he was planning to go to the endless open sea trial, and it was okay to take on this task, even if it couldn't be completed, it was just a matter of making up for the previous discount after the expiration of ten years.
Thinking of this, Han Changlin naturally chose the second way, and after receiving a crystal clear turquoise token from the beautiful woman's hand, Han Changlin also chose a somewhat remote island as his cultivation place.
And after paying 18,000 lower grade spirit stones, the beautiful woman gave Han Changlin a silver token, and only through this silver token could she pass the prohibition on the island.
After completing the formalities, Han Changlin took Jiang Yingxue and left the "Immortal Mansion Residence" and walked towards the outside of the Thunder Stone Immortal City.
Han Changlin did not stay in the Thunder Stone Immortal City for long, but quickly walked out of the city gate with Jiang Yingxue, Han Changlin wrapped Jiang Yingxue with a retreat and flew towards the northeast.
After the tea, Han Changlin looked at an island in the distance, a smile appeared on his face, he pressed the light and landed directly in front of a pier on the island.
On these islands, there are all mortal towns, although the island selected by Han Changlin is a little remote, but there is also a small town, with two or three hundred households and nearly a thousand people.
As soon as Han Changlin landed on the dock, five or six strong men surrounded a fifty-year-old man and hurriedly walked towards Han Changlin.
Han Changlin Shennian swept a few people slightly, and he understood that these people were ordinary mortals, and several of them were strong men who had cultivated body refining techniques, but they were all first-order body refiners, and it might be okay to deal with ordinary first-order primary and intermediate demon beasts.
But if they encounter a demon beast above the first order, these people will be very dangerous.
"Chen Pengnian, the former mayor of Lake Town, Qinghu Island, meet the immortal master."
Without waiting for Han Changlin to speak, the old man took the lead in bowing to Han Changlin with a few strong men.
"Is the Immortal Master going to cultivate on Qinghu Island?"
After the old man finished the visit, he spoke again.
At this time, Han Changlin also noticed that this island was really like a green gourd, thin in the middle and thick on both sides, and the thick sides were not the same, one large and one small, corresponding to two peaks hooked together.
"I've already rented the cave here, and I'll be cultivating here for a while."
Han Changlin nodded and said lightly.
"In this way, the old man will tell the residents of the town that they will never enter the gourd mountain and disturb the immortal master's cultivation."
Hearing this, Chen Pengnian's old face actually showed a little joy.
Seeing the old man's expression, Han Changlin naturally knew what he was thinking, in this endless open sea, compared to the inland sea, it was several times more dangerous, especially for those mortals living in the open sea, they were always facing the threat of demon beasts in the sea.
Although this Qinghu Island is protected by the aura prohibition hanging from the Thunder Stone Immortal City, this is only for those demon beasts above the second order with strong lethality, and for the large number of low-level demon beasts, the prohibition of the Thunder Stone Immortal City cannot be cut off one by one.
Almost every year, some low-level demon beasts will flow to the nearby islands, rush into mortal villages and towns, and devour them.
The body refiners in the town are all some beginner levels, and it is okay to deal with a small number of first-order primary and intermediate demon beasts, but if you encounter a large number of low-level demon beasts or first-order high-level demon beasts or above, then there is a high probability that the body refiner will die.
And if there are immortal masters on the island, it is different, under normal circumstances, immortal masters will naturally not care about the life and death of mortals, but if the villagers in the town offer some spirit stones every year, most of these immortal masters are still willing to protect them.
Moreover, the immortal masters have a long lifespan, as long as they live on the island, they usually live for more than ten years or even decades, and for them, they can enjoy a peaceful life for a long time.
"Little Lao'er has a reluctant request, and I hope the immortal master can agree?"
After ensuring that the mortals in the town were restrained not to disturb Han Changlin, the old man immediately said his request.
Han Changlin was naturally able to guess seven, seven, eight, eight, eight, and he smiled kindly:
"Mayor Mare, please."
After a slight hesitation, Chen Pengnian still said:
"Although we have also cultivated more than a dozen body refiners in Qianhu Town, we can still deal with a small number of first-order primary and intermediate demon beasts, but if we encounter higher-level demon beasts, there will be many casualties.
When Han Changlin heard this, the secret path was really the same as he thought, such a scene he had encountered when he first came to the Eastern Regions.
If there was no captive spirit devouring worm, Han Changlin really wouldn't necessarily agree, after all, once she went to sea to train, leaving Jiang Yingxue alone, she would not have the ability to deal with those demon beasts.
However, with the Spirit Devouring Worm, as long as there is no third-order demon beast, the Soul Devouring Worm can basically be easily killed, and within a thousand miles of this Thunder Stone Immortal City, it is almost impossible for a third-order demon beast to appear.
Thinking of this, Han Changlin naturally readily agreed, and the mayor also chose to leave after a thousand thanks.
After the town mayor and the others left, a blue-red light appeared on Han Changlin's body, and he flew towards the back mountain with Jiang Yingxue.
After flying for twenty or thirty miles, the two came to the foot of a mountain, and in front of them was a mountain hundreds of feet high, most of which was covered with dark brown rocks, and the rest of the place was covered with lush flowers and trees.
Looking at a small forest shrouded in white mist in front of him, Han Changlin smiled slightly, took out the silver token, and the moment he took out the token, the woods in front of them immediately disappeared without a trace, and the white mist also dissipated, revealing a clearing surrounded by a fence.
And at the end of the clearing, near the foot of the mountain, there is a dark cave against the rock wall.
On the top of the cave are engraved four ancient seals of "Qinghu Cave Mansion".
Han Changlin's divine thoughts went deep into the cave, and he instantly felt the entire cave house clearly, this cave house is more than twenty zhang deep, and it is divided into a small living room, as well as a cultivation room, a rest room, and a refining room, which is simple and tidy, and it also exudes a faint aroma of dragon tongue.
Han Changlin has also seen this spice, and some female cultivators like to place a piece of agave incense in their cave to drive away poisonous insects and keep the cave dry.
As a male cultivator, Han Changlin had never cared about this, but after a little thought, he found that this ready-made cave mansion was really suitable for Jiang Yingxue.
"Yingxue."
"Master."
Hearing Han Changlin shouting to herself, Jiang Yingxue hurriedly withdrew her eyes and trotted in front of Han Changlin.
"From today on, this cave is yours, you must work hard and not slack off."
Han Changlin pointed to the cave in front of him and spoke.
"What about you, master?"
"Me? Go there for the teacher to open up another cave, during this time, for the teacher will go to the Thunder Stone Immortal City to see, you will work hard in the cave, if you don't understand, as long as the teacher comes back, you can come to find the teacher at any time. ”
After speaking, Han Changlin walked towards a stone forest next to him, passing through a stone forest of more than ten zhang, Han Changlin found that behind the stone forest was a small valley of dozens of zhang in size, and at the end of the valley, there were two towering ancient trees, each of which had several people hugging each other.
And not far from the middle of the two ancient trees, there is also a cave, but this cave was found after Han Changlin Shennian explored, it was only a few zhang deep, and it was covered with withered grass feathers.
Han Changlin glanced at the place where a piece of bark on the trunk of one of the ancient trees had been worn off, and a sudden expression appeared on his face.
This place is where the captive spirit beast of the last person who cultivated here is located.
Now that the man had left, the spirit beast naturally followed him away, leaving the cave behind.
The location of this cave is good, it is suitable for opening up the cave by himself, thinking of this, Han Changlin opened his mouth slightly, and a green flame sword shot out, and then turned into a blue and red sword qi and shot into the cave......
After spending most of the day's effort, Han Changlin was satisfied with the Qingyan Sword, and the original cave was enlarged a lot by him, and of course, more importantly, inside.
Dozens of zhang deep in this cave, Han Changlin opened up five stone chambers, these five stone chambers are connected to each other by portals, and these five stone chambers are used by Han Changlin for cultivation, rest, alchemy, refining and raising spirit beasts.
And after entering the cave mansion, Han Changlin looked around, and his face also showed a look of satisfaction, but when he entered the spirit beast room, his face showed a look of surprise.
It turned out that in this spirit beast room, there was a faint white mist, and after feeling that these white mists turned out to be condensed aura, Han Changlin first pondered, and then showed a happy expression on his face.
He carefully searched and surveyed around this spirit beast room, and after a full half an hour, Han Changlin stopped in a corner of the spirit beast room, and after a little contemplation, he opened his mouth and spit out a mouthful of Qingyan Sword, slashing towards the rock crack in front of him.
An hour later, Han Changlin looked at a pool several feet in size that was covered with white gas in front of him, and a puzzled expression appeared on his face.
In the center of the pool, there stood a white pillar of a white and transparent thickness of a foot, the pillar was only four or five feet high, and the top of the white pillar emitted a faint white mist and sank towards the pool.
"Could it be that this is the legendary root of the spiritual vein?"
The confusion on Han Changlin's face turned into surprise, and then he showed an expression of surprise.
Normally, as long as there is a spiritual vein, there will definitely be a spiritual spring root, but nine out of ten of the spiritual veins of the spiritual spring roots are above the spiritual veins, located in the depths of thousands of zhang underground, for immortal cultivators, there has been deep in the lava deep underground, even if the spiritual energy is rich, it is not suitable for cultivation.
Moreover, once the spiritual vein is opened to the main body, the speed of the spiritual energy dissipation will also be accelerated by tens or even hundreds of times, even if it can be used to cultivate, it will inevitably not last, and in this way, the damage to the spiritual vein will be permanent, which is tantamount to killing chickens and taking eggs.
In the world of cultivating immortals, no sect would do this kind of self-extinction inheritance, and if this kind of thing was done to other sects, it would be like destroying people's inheritance, and it would be exchanged for endless vendettas.
However, there are also a small number of spiritual veins that will extend to a location close to the surface, forming a vent for spiritual energy in a small area, and this kind of place will be called the root of the spiritual spring, and the spiritual energy will continue to escape through the root of the spiritual spring, forming a holy place for cultivating immortals.
As long as the root of the spiritual spring is not too big, and the scattered spiritual energy is within the tolerance range of the spiritual vein, it can exist for a long time, for immortal cultivators, if the cave can have the root of spiritual spring, the cultivation speed is definitely more than twice that of other immortal cultivators.
Han Changlin really didn't expect that an unintentional move to open up a cave mansion with the root of a spiritual spring would open up a cave mansion with the root of a spiritual spring, which was simply a big luck.
Han Changlin came to the side of the spirit pool, feeling that the aura in the pool was already liquefied, he couldn't help but take a deep breath, this mouthful of almost pure aura entered the body, instantly making him refreshed for a while.
"Huh?"
Han Changlin's face suddenly changed, he gently patted the spirit beast bag on his waist, and in a flash, a stone egg with a mottled surface appeared in Han Changlin's palm.
At this moment, the surface of the stone egg was emitting a faint white aura, although it was not obvious, but Han Changlin could easily catch the mottling on the stone egg and began to slowly fall off under the shroud of white light.
In the blink of an eye, all the mottles on the surface of the stone egg fell, revealing a snow-white beast egg inside.
"Is it really a fairy egg?"
Seeing this scene, Han Changlin's face showed an excited expression, Huang Yan once told himself that this was a fairy egg, and Han Changlin always thought that Huang Yan was exaggerating after seeing this stone egg.
Seeing the changes that have taken place in this stone egg now, it makes Han Changlin look forward to it a little more.
The excitement on Han Changlin's face turned into surprise again, and then he showed a shocked expression, the white aura in the spirit pool seemed to be pulled by the stone eggs, forming a long strip one by one, surging towards the stone eggs.
"Could it be that the Chinese New Year's Eve Moon Fairy has not been able to hatch this stone egg because of the lack of spiritual energy in the Silent Spirit Palace?"
Han Changlin thought of a possibility, thinking of this, he hesitated slightly, stepped out lightly, and had already come to the sky above the spiritual pool, next to the root of the spiritual spring.
Han Changlin gently placed the stone egg on the root of the spiritual spring, and the root of the spiritual spring emitted a white mist, which directly wrapped the stone egg, and the stone egg also began to absorb the spiritual energy in a big way.
