Yu Xinzhu
At noon on the second day, Shi Jiu was eating and drinking in the restaurant, and at the same time, intentionally or unintentionally, he listened to the conversation and discussion of people at several tables nearby.
"Have you heard? The Fire Fist Sect and the Water Heaven Pavilion are recruiting people who understand water to go to Yuxin Island to collect the Yu Heart Beads. At this time, a man at the next table said to the person who was drinking with him.
"Of course I know, every year at this time, various sects recruit a large number of people to go to Yuxin Island to collect Yu Xinzhu. By the way, I heard that this year's distribution money has increased by 30%, and it is estimated that many people will go. Another person at the table said.
"Many? Just kidding, right? There will only be fewer this year. Someone else interjected.
"How is that possible? It doesn't make sense to give more money to more people but less? The man asked rhetorically.
"Have you forgotten? Did you collect Yu Xinzhu last year? ”
"I remember, last year, a sea underworld beast appeared on the bottom of Yuxin Island, and it ate a lot of people, and in the end, it was the elders of the major factions who joined forces to end up with the sea underworld beast, otherwise more people might die." At this time, one of them remembered what happened on Yuxin Island last year, so he said it, and then shocked the other two.
"Ah, yes, yes, I also remembered, I still remember that at that time, many families cried and screamed in front of the various factions, and in the end there was really no way, and the factions also lost a lot of money."
"In this way, there really won't be too many people going there, after all, life matters, no matter how much money you have, you have to have a life to spend it."
"yes, I'm not going to go anyway, so what about you?"
"Of course I won't go, see how good it is for my brothers to drink and chat here now, why bother to go there and waste your life."
"yes, let's not talk about this, the brothers continue to drink."
……
"Yu Xinzhu?" Shi Jiu muttered to himself in his heart, "What is that?" Unexpectedly, the Fire Fist Sect and the Water Heaven Pavilion all have to spend money to recruit people to collect them, and they must have their value. ”
It didn't take long for a few people at the next table to drink and leave.
Then, Shi Jiu called the shopkeeper who was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks on the side, and then asked, "Just now I heard from the next table that these sects of the Fire Fist Sect are recruiting people to go to Yuxin Island to collect Yu Xinzhu, what is going on?" ”
"Oh, guest officer, you're talking about Yu Xinzhu, we all know about this in Yuanye City. There is a small island called Yuxin Island in the Gulan Sea south of our Yuanye City, and at this time of year, the Yuxin mussels in Yuxin Island and under the seabed near Yuxin Island will open the mussel shell to mate, and at this time you can collect Yuxin beads. The shopkeeper said directly, because Shi Jiu has lived here for a few days, he is a big customer of the restaurant, and he is also generous, so the shopkeeper also knows everything.
"Is Yu Xinzhu very valuable? Can you attract so many sects? Shi Jiu then asked again.
"It should be, I seem to have heard others say that Yu Xinzhu seems to be of great use to those cultivators, and I don't know about the rest."
"Okay, then I know, you're busy." Shi Jiu sent the shopkeeper away, and then continued to drink.
Half an hour later, Shi Jiu walked down the street, walking forward as he walked.
After a while, Shi Jiu saw a group of people talking about a notice board, so he walked over and looked at the notice.
This is a recruitment notice, and it is exactly what Shi Jiu heard about the recruiters of various factions going to Yuxin Island to collect Yu Xinzhu before.
Shi Jiu didn't stay long, and then returned to the inn and entered his room.
"It seems that I have to go to Yuxin Island, it's time to collect interest from the two factions of the Fire Fist Gate and the Water Heaven Pavilion first." After Shi Jiu made up his mind, he closed his eyes, and then practiced the Dream Mind Method and improved his Dream Heart Lotus in his sea of consciousness.
The next morning, Shi Jiu came to a teahouse not far from the south gate of Yuanye City to drink tea.
Today is the time for the factions and their own recruits to go to Yuxin Island, and the gathering point is at the South City Gate.
Shi Jiu, who was sitting in front of the window on the second floor, was drinking tea while looking at the city gate not far away. At this time, a large number of people had gathered near the city gate, and the flags of various factions at the city gate were floating in the air, and the three big flags in the middle were the Fire Fist Gate, the Shuntian Dart Bureau and the Water Sky Pavilion.
"Why didn't you see the people and flags of Feng Bao Zhai?" Shi Jiu was slightly surprised, and then he was relieved.
Compared with the other three factions, Feng Bao Zhai should be the richest force, and their branches are all over the Youlong Continent, and the most important thing is money and treasures, most of them don't look down on Yu Xinzhu or think that Yu Xinzhu is not worth collecting them.
"Forget about the Shuntian Dart Bureau, Fire Fist Gate and Shuitian Pavilion, this time you will definitely make a good blood, and if you dare to kill me in the Moluo Cave Mansion, you must be prepared to bear my anger." Looking at the Fire Fist Gate and the banner of the Water Heaven Pavilion not far away, a cold light flashed in Shi Jiu's eyes, and then disappeared without a trace.
An hour later, many people came to the meeting point of the various factions one after another.
"It seems that there are still many people who want to fight for money, whether it is the earth before life or the underworld today, people die for money, birds die for food, and the truth remains unchanged through the ages." Shi Jiu still looked at the front silently, feeling something.
Soon after, led by the Shuntian Dart Bureau, the Fire Fist Gate and the Water Sky Pavilion, they walked towards the outside of the city gate and set off for Yuxin Island.
Looking at the team that set off in front of him, Shi Jiu suddenly thought of a similar scene that happened in Tianyou City before, when the various factions in Tianyou City were also recruiting people to go to the Soul Splash Cave to mine meteorite copper, at that time, Shi Jiu also signed up to go with the team at that time, and then met the Great Red Sword Emperor in the Soul Splash Cave.
Thinking of this, Shi Jiu unconsciously felt depressed.
Now that he has fulfilled his long-cherished wish for the Great Red Sword Emperor, it stands to reason that it is a happy thing, but Shi Jiu just can't be happy, but is depressed and reluctant.
Although he and the Great Red Sword Emperor have not been together for a long time, only a few months, the two have also unconsciously established a special relationship. For Shi Jiu, the Great Red Sword Emperor is like an elder and a teacher, caring and teaching himself, even if he is bickering, Shi Jiu feels warm. Now that the other party is no longer around, Shi Jiu has also been in a low mood for many days.
"Alas, why is this like this again, I said that I had to cheer up." Shi Jiu was a little annoyed, and it took a while to calm down.
Watching the teams of various factions leave one by one and disappear outside the city gate, Shi Jiu did not immediately follow, but planned to go to Yuxin Island tomorrow.
Because he had already inquired, today's various factions were only stationed on Yuxin Island in advance, and they would not go to the sea to collect Yuxin beads until tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.
On the morning of the third day, Shi Jiu mounted a fast horse and galloped away in the direction of Yuxin Island.
Near noon, Shi Jiu came to the Gulan Seaside.
Standing on the seaside, Shi Jiu looked in the direction of Yuxin Island, today's weather is good, cloudless, there are many ships on the sea, and the direction is the same, they must all be going to Yuxin Island.
Shi Jiu didn't set off immediately, but planned to wait until the evening before leaving, he didn't want to go by boat, because all the ships going to Yuxin Island were all covered by various factions. In order to reduce unnecessary trouble, Shi Jiu decided to fly over.
After four or five o'clock in the afternoon, Shi Jiu decided not to wait any longer, unfolded the flying wings behind him, and flew into the air with a flap of his wings.
Now there are no ships in sight on the sea, and they have basically arrived at Yuxin Island, but Shi Jiu is still flying cautiously against the sea, not wanting to attract the attention of others.
After about twenty minutes of flying, several ships appeared on the sea in front of him, and an island appeared in front of Shi Jiu's eyes.
"It should be Yuxin Island."
Looking at the islands and ships in front of him, Shi Jiu did not continue to fly in a straight line, but made a big bend against the sea level, and flew to the other side of Yuxin Island in fifteen minutes.
After arriving on the island, Shi Jiu quickly ran into the woods, and then quickly traveled towards the other side of the island.
Yuxin Island is not big, and after ten minutes, Shi Jiu came to the other side of the island, and then hid behind a boulder, looking at the various factions that were camped not far ahead.
At this time, the sky gradually darkened, and the lights of each station were raised, and the figures in front of them were hurrying.
"Everyone gave me a little bit of profit, the elders said, today is the day to go down to the cave and the sea, and when the sky is completely dark, you can go to collect Yu Xinzhu." Not far from the boulder where Shi Jiu was hiding, a middle-aged man was shouting at the crowd.
Hearing the shouts of the middle-aged man, the crowd moved faster, some were carrying things, and some were doing warm-up activities before going to the sea, all of them were gearing up.
Shi Jiu turned his head to look at the Fire Fist Gate and the Shuitian Pavilion in the distance, and at this time, his divine sense also followed his gaze to the stations of those two factions.
At this time, an old man walked out of the tent of the Fire Fist Gate's station, and then said sternly to the crowd in front of him: "There is still half an hour at most, everyone will go down for me to collect Yu Xinzhu." ”
When the old man's voice fell, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then the movements in their hands became faster.
Shi Jiu, who was hiding behind the boulder, frowned, "The leader of the Fire Fist Gate turned out to be him, not a rivalry." Elder Huoren, we're meeting again, but this time won't be like last time, and I'm going to let you Fire Fist Sect make a good blood. ”
The old man who lectured on the ground of the Fire Fist Gate was the Elder Huoren who had blocked Shi Jiu, that time Shi Jiu also had a few moves with the other party, and finally escaped from the other party's pursuit with the help of the Great Red Sword Emperor, and now that he saw it again, Shi Jiu naturally had to take revenge for the last time, and looting the Yu Xinzhu collected by the other party was the best way.
