"This thing is very heavy, where did you get it?" Elder Jiang took the stone curiously, holding it in his hand and looking it up and down.

"The underwater city of Seven Star Island. "After prying other people's walls, it was not easy to get a stone, and Lin Yi naturally couldn't say it.

Elder Jiang groaned for a while, then shook his head to himself, and after a while, he said in a hesitant tone: "This thing is a bit like a fire marble, and a little like sand crystal, and the old man can't tell what it is." However, it can be concluded that this object has an extraordinary origin. ”

Lin blinked his eyelids, didn't he say anything! He put away the stone, smiled and said nothing.

Seeing the other party's somewhat disappointed expression, Elder Jiang sighed a little apologetically: "The old man has also wasted a hundred years and lived in vain! If only he could join some sects in his early years!"

What does this have to do with not being able to see the origin of the stone, but Lin Yi still nodded thoughtfully, the background of any sect should not be underestimated, this is the case in the rivers and lakes, and the immortal cultivation realm should be no exception.

"Back then, the old man was just the age of a fellow Daoist...... "Elder Jiang's thoughts gradually drifted away.

When Elder Jiang was eighteen or nine years old, he went overseas with the talented people in the sect, and after a lot of hardships, he came to Great Xia. is much luckier than other disciples, he actually has the spiritual root of cultivating immortals.

As a result, Elder Jiang at that time was attached to an immortal cultivation family in Great Xia and got the opportunity to cultivate. In this family, there are many people with excellent talents, and those who are outstanding among these people can join the Immortal Sect in order to be able to cultivate better.

At that time, Elder Jiang knew that the opportunity would not come easily. For this reason, he was very diligent, but due to his own qualifications, as well as various other reasons, he finally failed to obtain the qualification to enter the immortal gate.

Elder Jiang was not reconciled, so he cultivated hard in that immortal cultivation family, so that decades had passed, and his cultivation was still low.

Seeing that he was getting old, Elder Jiang finally came to his senses. He knew that his path of cultivating immortals would end in vain, so he returned to Dashang. For the Tianlong faction, his move was not without a sense of reciprocation.

"Great Xia not only has a cultivator family, but also a scattered cultivator. But in the end, if you want to make a difference on the way to cultivation, you still have to join the Immortal Sect. Do you know that no matter how big or small the immortal gate is, it has its heritage. These inheritances have all gone through thousands of years and thousands of years of continuation, and their exercises and classics are all-encompassing, and those who have cultivated to the highest level are even more amazing. Some sects also hide ancient secrets and fairy anecdotes. Only by joining the immortal sect can you get in touch with these secrets, increase your knowledge, and learn from your peers. In this way, cultivation can be taken to a higher level! On the path of immortal path, you can also go further!"

Elder Jiang sighed, holding his silver beard in his hand, his eyes brightened. He said to Lin Yi: "Well, this is the case in this life." If you have the opportunity to join the Xianmen, don't miss it, so as not to repeat the old man's old path. ”

"Is it really necessary to join a sect?" Lin Yi said to himself.

"Of course it is necessary!" Elder Jiang's eyes widened, and he reprimanded a little bit of the old man: "If you are destined to join the sect, do you still need to ask me about the purple stone just now, this old man? The sect has its own collection of refining weapons, formations, and pills, and you can draw what you need from it, right?"

Lin Yi only then realized that the other party was still haunted by that stone! However, seeing that Elder Jiang was sincere, he couldn't help but say, "Elder's golden and jade good words, the kid has written it down!"

"It's even if I've been obsessed for a few years, people are always talking nonsense! Don't blame fellow Daoists!" Elder Jiang also noticed that his tone was a little stern, and his tone softened, and he smiled gently.

Back then, if there was Lin Yi's cultivation today, entering the immortal gate would be a matter of course. Therefore, Elder Jiang didn't lie to Lin Yi, he really hoped that the young man in front of him would be able to go further on the immortal path. In this way, who said that it would not be good for the Celestial Dragon Sect!

While the two were talking, Master Zhen Yuanzi and apprentice walked in, and seeing that Elder Jiang was also there, the three of them were busy praying and paying respects.

On the sea boat, except for Lin Yi, Elder Jiang didn't like to greet others, so he took the opportunity to leave.

As soon as Lin picked up Yan Shouxin's flying sword and sent it over, Elder Jiang excused himself for a moment, and happily put it in his bag, but he didn't take it in vain, and threw down a small bag of spirit stones before leaving.

Picking up the spirit stone in his hand, Lin Yi turned around, looked at the master and apprentice of Zhenyuanzi with a smile, and beckoned, "Feel free to sit!"

Zhen Yuanzi sat at the table very casually, but his two apprentices sat down because of the formality, Yuan Qing stepped forward and said with a smile: "Uncle Xiao is radiant, I don't know what good things I got again!"

Lin Yi looked at the small cloth bag in his hand, shook it at Yuanqing, and said with a smile: "Even if you say it, it's useless, you don't understand." ”

"Hehe, after Uncle Xiao became an elder, he became even more superior!" Yuan Feng also echoed.

Lin Yi frowned, looked at Brother Yuanqing with some embarrassment and said, "Otherwise, we will still be commensurate with our peers! I'm not as old as the two of you!"

"Smackβ€”β€”!

"I can't turn the sky upside down!" Zhen Yuanzi raised his eyebrows and slapped the table, making Lin Yi also look sideways.

Zhen Yuanzi wanted to continue to reprimand the two apprentices, but when he saw a smile on the corner of Lin Yi's mouth, he immediately shook his head with a wry smile and said: "I said junior brother, don't fool your two junior nephews!

Yuan Qing and Yuan Feng were busy looking at Lin Yi with a pleading look on their faces.

Lin Yi smiled and said: "Senior brother, I have been accustomed to being commensurate with the two of them as brothers, but now although I have continued my relationship because of my senior brother, it does not hinder our interactions!

As he spoke, Lin Yi took out a white jade wine jug and two wine glasses and sent them to Zhen Yuanzi.

......

Five thousand miles south of Qixing Island, there is a large island with a circle of thousands of miles, and the island name is "Huzhu". There are many lakes in Huzhu Island, which are connected to the sea and are rich in pearls, tortoiseshell and precious stones. The lake on the island is surrounded by high mountains, lush mountains and forests, and water and ditches are vertical and horizontal, but it is a rich place with beautiful scenery and mountains.

On Huzhu Island, there are two large towns in the south and one in the north, which are built along the sea, which are respectively the South Pearl City and the North Pearl City, and are also the two major wharves that undertake the collection and distribution of personnel and property from the south to the north.

The North Pearl City covers an area of ten miles, the North City Gate is tall and majestic, and the sea is seen by the mountains, which is quite imposing. There are many small merchants and vendors in front of the city gate, and there are one stall after another on the bluestone street next to the city gate, which stretches from the city gate to the wharf two miles away. Sellers of fish, mountain goods, herbs, pearls, seasonal fruits, as well as all kinds of tea stalls, hexagram stalls, and fruit shops. The shouting and shouting come one after another, and it is very lively! Being in it, it is like coming to an ordinary market, and people will ignore the existence of Beizhu City.

At this time, it was just after noon.

At the gate of the city stood two young men with swords, their chests held high, and with a look of disdain on their faces, they looked at the flow of people in a bored manner.

"Stopβ€”β€”!" A mountain man carrying a burden had just walked to the city gate, and his legs and stomach trembled with a loud shout.

The young man at the city gate, one of the two, was a thin, fleshless young man with a black face. He raised his chin, stepped forward and blocked the frightened mountain people, and hummed: "The mountain village man is also going to enter the city?

"The city is not inhabited?"

Behind a fish stall not far from the city gate, a dark-skinned man in his twenties muttered discontentedly.

"Shhh

The young fisherman snorted again, "I'm not wrong! ”

The old man's face was full of wrinkles, and he looked weather-beaten, and he was a little helpless about the young man's recklessness and ignorance, but he said uneasily: "I said, Zhuzi, how long have you been selling fish for your father! If your uncle doesn't talk to you, what should you do if something happens? Your father should scold me for not taking care of you for him!"

Looking at the two swaggering peers in front of the city gate, the young man called the pillar, listened to the old man's persuasion, and had to hide the anger in his heart.

The mountain man who was stopped in front of the city gate must have come into the city to deliver the goods, and with a humble smile, he kept bowing, and then took out a little bit of broken silver and handed it to the black-faced young man, and then he entered the city in a gloomy manner.

The black-faced young man swept the broken silver in his hand and smiled at another rich-looking companion: "Senior brother, I will invite you to eat and drink tonight!"

The man in a green shirt who looked like a rich man, with a fat round face, said, "If you do these things all day long, where can you still have time to cultivate! Senior brother, aren't you in a hurry?"

The black-faced senior brother smiled freely, and after putting the silver into his arms, he stepped forward and patted the shoulder of the junior brother who was half a head taller than him, and said: "I am an outer disciple, if I don't do three years of miscellaneous labor, how can I cultivate with peace of mind! Isn't this also very good! Eating and drinking spicy food is very happy! Look at the oil and water in your stomach, it is really pleasing to look at!"

"Come on, senior brother, don't bury me!" The round-faced junior brother touched his stomach, and straightened up a little complacently, thinking to himself, as the senior brother said, it is not bad to have food and drink.

At this time, there was a "bah" sound from behind the fish stall, and the old man spat a mouthful of thick phlegm, pretended to bow his head and fiddle with the fish stall, and said in a low voice: "We can't afford to mess with these people, they are the disciples of the Zheng family! Not to mention the North Pearl City and the South Pearl City, these thousands of miles of sea are under their control." Have you ever heard of the Zheng family on Huzhu Island? But it's amazing, the Zheng family has immortals flying around in the sky!"
