335 Spirit Turtle Island
Su Chen's sword flew towards the southeast sea for several days.
On this day, the sea ahead was rough, and finally a rather strange island appeared.
There is a peculiar spiritual bamboo growing on this island, the bamboo body is like a section of white dry bones as high as dozens of zhang, the wind suddenly cries and the wolf howls, and the yin wind gusts make people feel cold all over the body. The dry bones and bamboo leaves accumulated a thick layer on the ground, turning into a dark and foul-smelling rotten mud, and the footprints of low-level demon beasts can occasionally be seen on the island.
There is no human activity on the island, like an uninhabited desert island.
Su Chen opened the map of the East China Sea and compared the island in front of him, which was the farthest supply base "Bamboo Island" in the East China Sea.
This place has entered the sea infested by the demon tribe, and may encounter demon cultivators at any time. Obviously, in order to avoid being discovered by demon cultivators, this supply base is very secretive and not revealed to the outside world.
Su Chen pondered, put away his sword, and flew to this desolate island.
I let go of my mind and searched carefully, and not long after that, in the depths of the Bamboo Island Mountains, I found a large stone cave entrance, which had obvious traces of being excavated by monks.
The passage is extremely deep and leads deep into the belly of the mountain.
Su Chen followed the passage and came to a large karst cave of hundreds of zhang in the belly of the mountain.
I saw a dilapidated bluestone street in the cave, there were some monks in the activity, and dozens of simple shops were built with stones on both sides, and the goods of these shops were also dazzling, some of them specialized in purchasing materials, and there were also selling various kinds of elixirs, talismans and ritual utensils and other supplies.
The stronghold had no guards and no owner. It's just a small supply base formed by the monks who have been active here all year round, spontaneously gathering.
In this Bamboo Island stronghold, hundreds of foundation building monks gather all year round, and even some bold Qi refining cultivators, who hunt demon beasts in the surrounding tens of thousands of miles of seas, and often need to return to Bamboo Island to get supplies.
There were also monks who had been wounded and had to return to the stronghold to recuperate.
The conditions here are extremely harsh and difficult, but there are still many foundation building monks who practice here in order to earn spirit stones for cultivation.
In addition, more than a dozen ragged monks were setting up stalls at random, selling some scattered low-grade animal materials and rare materials in the sea such as "spirit corals and spirit beads" that they had collected from the sea.
There are some small traders who travel to and from various strongholds in the East China Sea Immortal Cultivation Realm, if they take a fancy to these materials, they will buy them.
Su Chen walked on the bluestone street, and immediately attracted the envious eyes of many foundation building monks.
This Bamboo Island supply base is too small, and the goods sold are also very low-level, only some nearby foundation building monks and qi refining monks will come here to replenish, and Jindan monks will hardly appear here. It is often a few years in the stronghold, and it is not possible to see a single Jindan monk appear.
Su Chen passed by a small shop selling elixirs, caught a glimpse of the elixirs displayed on the shelves, and couldn't help but stop.
The shopkeeper was a dizzy old man dressed in the skin of a demon beast, and when he saw a Jindan monk appearing outside the store, his expression was lifted, and he hurriedly greeted him eagerly.
"This is an elixir for cultivation?"
Su Chen picked up a small bottle of pills from the shelf, sniffed it, and frowned, "How can there be such a strong demonic aura?"
The old man in the shop who was peddling pills was a little surprised, but he still said respectfully: "Senior, this is the Demon Yuan Pill, which is classified according to the different Inner Pills of the Sea Demon Beast.
You have just come from Middle Earth? Middle Earth alchemy is made of spiritual herbs as raw materials, and there is no demonic aura.
But in the East China Sea Immortal Cultivation Realm, there are very few spiritual herbs, most of them are Demon Yuan Dan refined from the Demon Beast Inner Pill! This Demon Yuan Pill is easier to absorb than the Spirit Pill, but it all has a demonic aura, and it takes a long time to refine the evil qi in it after taking it, and you can't take it more, otherwise it is very easy to go mad. In a month, taking at most three Demon Yuan Pills is the limit. ”
Compared with the spirit pill refined from pure spiritual herbs, the Demon Yuan Pill with evil qi is undoubtedly much inferior.
If this demonic qi is absorbed too much, it will make the monk's primordial spirit go crazy, lose his mind, and go mad all the time.
But there is no way, the conditions of the East China Sea Immortal Cultivation Realm are limited.
A small number of Spirit Islands could not grow enough spiritual herbs, and only a few Jindan monks and those close to them could enjoy them. The other huge group of monks could only retreat to the next best thing and use the huge number of Kraken Beast Inner Dan to refine the pill to meet the needs of the monks.
"Demon Yuan Dan?"
Su Chen was silent.
He had always used the spirit herbs cultivated in his spirit mountain to refine the elixir, which was enough for his own use. When I came to the East China Sea, I had never visited the Spirit Pill Pavilion, and I really didn't notice that the monks of the East China Sea were cultivating with this inferior Demon Yuan Pill.
The demon beast Neidan has vitality, and it also has a strong demonic energy, and it is not easy to refine the vitality in it.
"Xiaopu buys all kinds of demon beasts Neidan, and the demonic aura of different demon beasts is also different. If the predecessors hunt the Kraken Beast and get some low-level Neidan, they can be sold in a small shop, and they must be purchased at the highest price. The inner pill of the second-order sea demon beast can be sold for hundreds to thousands of spirit stones. ”
The old man in the shop smiled humbly.
Su Chen nodded invisibly, disapproving.
Even if he hunted and killed the low-level Kraken Beasts, he also used them to feed the group of Mithril Spirit Devouring Flying Ants in the Golden Gourd, and rarely sold beast materials.
If you find the best materials, you can simply keep them for yourself, and you won't sell them.
He came to this Bamboo Island stronghold, mainly to find a Jindan-level spirit turtle, capture it, and cultivate his "Spirit Turtle Chapter".
The Jindan rank demon beast has already opened its mind, and it will hardly appear in a crowded place for immortal cultivators, and it will not be found at all on the side of the multiple mountain spirit island group.
Only in the area of a remote deep-sea stronghold like Takeshima can there be hope of finding it.
He came to Bamboo Island to try his luck.
"Shopkeeper, do you have a map scroll of the distribution of demon beast groups in the nearby sea area for tens of thousands of miles?"
The old man of the shop suddenly smiled humbly, shook his head and said: "The detailed distribution of the demon beast group around here, but the rice bowl of everyone in this Bamboo Island stronghold, the brothers in the Bamboo Island stronghold rely on hunting sea monsters every day to earn spirit stones for cultivation, and they will not tell others where there are any demon beasts to hunt."
Of course, the seniors will definitely not compete with us low-level foundation building monks for food.... As long as you are willing to pay a spirit stone, we can help you find it. I don't know what kind of monster my predecessors are looking for?"
"Spirit Turtle! Jindan Order Spirit Turtle. ”
Su Chen said.
"Jindan Spirit Turtle? The villain seems to have a little impression, the senior will wait for a while, and the little one will go and ask someone!"
The old man of the shop groaned for a moment, and immediately agreed.
He was familiar with the many Tsukiji monks in the Takeshima stronghold, and knew where they often went to hunt Kraken Beasts.
After a while, the shopkeeper came with two middle-aged monks in shabby clothes. The two seemed to be twin brothers, and their faces were a little dejected.
"Senior, these two are the Nguyen brothers. Half a year ago, they had seen a group of spirit turtles in a deep sea, and they might be able to help. ”
The old man of the shop hurriedly introduced.
Su Chen glanced at them.
Boss Ruan arched his hand at Su Chen and said: "The Ruan brothers have seen their predecessors, half a year ago, several of our brothers went to a deep sea hunt in a group, and indeed saw a group of spirit turtles near an island, but we didn't see the Jindan level spirit turtle at that time, so we fled back in a hurry." However, there are groups of spirit turtles, and they must be a spirit turtle tribe. If they can survive, there will definitely be a lot of Jindan rank spirit turtles guarding the tribe. ”
"It's okay to find the Spirit Turtle Tribe, I want to hire your brother to lead the way, how about it?"
Su Chen said lightly.
"Of course you can, but it costs 10,000 spirit stones to lead the way! And you only go to the vicinity of this spirit turtle tribe, and you can't guarantee that you will see the Jindan spirit turtle. ”
Boss Ruan held out a finger.
"It's so expensive to lead the way?!"
Su Chen couldn't help frowning.
Boss Ruan said bitterly: "On that day, the five monks of our team went together, and when we met the spirit turtle group, our brother came back alive. Although it is simple to lead the way, there is no risk, but this is all exchanged for life, and I ask my seniors to be considerate. ”
There are not many businesses that lead the way for others, and they may not be encountered once in ten years. If it weren't for the fact that the person in front of them was a Jindan senior, they wouldn't have led this way.
...
Su Chen didn't bargain with the Ruan brothers, if he went to find it himself, he might not be able to find it after spending time and effort. Half a month later, the three of them arrived in the depths of the sea, where reefs could be seen.
Spotting reefs often means that there are larger islands just a short distance away.
In the distant direction, a giant island like a turtle's back can be seen looming in the haze of sea fog.
Su Chen found some spirit turtle feces in this reef group. There is a strong smell of spirit turtle feces left, dividing the territory, and other Kraken beasts will not appear in this area.
When the two Ruan brothers arrived here, they didn't dare to go any further.
"Senior, this reef group is the outermost part of Spirit Turtle Island. Half a year ago, our brother encountered a group of hundreds of spirit turtles in this area, and he couldn't go any further.
It is estimated that this spirit turtle tribe has at least thousands of first- and second-order spirit turtles, among which there are probably not a few thousand-year-old golden pill turtles, and three or five are possible. Seniors must be careful not to provoke them at will. If you provoke them, you will cause serious trouble. ”
Boss Ruan was a little frightened and threw his hand towards Su Chen.
Su Chen nodded, and did not embarrass the two of them, and paid them 10,000 spirit stones for the journey.
In case they encounter the Jindan Realm Spirit Tortoise, their strength may not be able to escape.
The Ruan brothers got the tens of thousands of spirit stones given by Su Chen, and quickly left happily, obviously not wanting to stay in this dangerous sea area for long.
Su Chen was left alone, standing on the reef and looking at the Linggui Island in the distance, thinking hard about countermeasures.
If it is really like what Boss Ruan said, this spirit turtle tribe is very large, with more than a thousand heads. It is almost comparable to the strength of a Terran Jindan Monk Spirit Island force, and even stronger.
Even if he joined forces with Zhuang Luyi, Blue Ice Flash Butterfly, Tao Yao, and the four great golden pills, he was definitely not the opponent of this Spirit Turtle Tribe.
Even if he hunted the spirit turtle in this fringe area and weakened the strength of this spirit turtle tribe, sooner or later he would alarm this spirit turtle tribe and be besieged by the spirit turtle pouring out of its nest.
He had to think of a way to pick a golden pill spirit turtle when it was left alone to start and catch it.
