Chapter 143: Merlin Islands
Fifteen days passed quietly.
During this time, Xia Yin asked Uncle Zhang about various situations in the land of rebellion during the day, and asked for any details.
It's a pity that although Uncle Zhang has seen and heard a lot, and because his ancestors are monks, he also knows some things about the immortal cultivation world, but after all, Lao Uncle Zhang is just an ordinary man, and most of the things he knows are some things in the world, but he knows very little about the immortal cultivation world......
During the day, I chatted with Uncle Zhang's family and learned the language of the Land of Rebellion.
Xia Yin's mental power is strong, and his memory has already reached the state of being unforgettable, and in just a few days, he has learned the language of the land of rebellion, except for the accent is a little jerky, there is no problem with normal communication, and even in the last five days, Xia Yin used the language of the land of chaos to communicate with Uncle Zhang's family......
In addition to these things, Xia Yin occasionally went to the rafting clan patriarch's ship to visit the door, but at night he still continued to take pills and continued to operate the Five Qi Returning Yuan Gong cultivation......
Xia Yin had a hunch that he was not unable to cultivate mana, but that the mana he cultivated was trapped by the curse-like aura left by the Soul Finger of the Transformation Yuan in his body, and if one day, he managed to unlock this trap, and his mana would be automatically restored, so his current cultivation would not be in vain.
It was this kind of judgment that made Xia Yin cultivate more diligently!
It's a pity that without mana, the jade muscle crystal bone can't go to the next level, and most of the time, Xia Yin continues to practice the remnant heaven fingering method, which is his biggest life-saving means so far.
Uncle Zhang's family also knew the identities of Xia Yin and Zhang Rouran's monks, and the mortals in the Land of Rebellion were no strangers to monks, and they didn't have that kind of obvious fear, and they got along very well......
On this morning, when Xia Yin was still meditating and cultivating, the door was suddenly pushed open, and Zhang Rouran exclaimed with surprise: "Come out and see, we have finally arrived!"
Xia Yin stood up, walked out of the cabin, and came to the side of the ship with Zhang Rouran, and sure enough, he saw a large blurred shadow of mountain peaks in front of him, connecting into a large piece of land, like a monster looming in the morning mist.
"Hehe, it's finally here!" Xia Yin was also excited.
At this time, Uncle Zhang, his wife and his daughter have already begun to sort out the big boxes of silverfish.
The drifting people are worthy of being a sea people, and their method of embalming whitebait is magical!
The whitebait in the frame is soaked in a milky white thick liquid.
This liquid, known as the cold marrow, is obtained from the icebergs of the far north, and maintains a very low temperature all year round, even causing the surrounding objects to freeze, but it does not freeze and solidify itself, which is the best material for embalming.
A small amount of cold pith is poured into a basket of whitebait, and the whole frame of whitebait will freeze and keep it fresh for a long time.
When it's time to sell, you only need to sprinkle some sea salt into the frame to easily thaw it, and you can also collect the cold pith again and use it next time......
Thousands of large and small ships slowly leaned on the shore of a cliff.
At this time, tens of thousands of people had accumulated on the shore, carrying frames in their hands.
This made Xia Yin and Zhang Rouran a little puzzled.
At this time, Uncle Zhang had already walked over and explained to the two with a smile: "These are all mortals from the Merlin Islands, they have come to buy whitebait, this is a once-a-year opportunity, and many people don't want to miss it!"
Xia Yin nodded suddenly.
Old Uncle Zhang continued: "These whitebait fish will be snapped up here, and then our drifting clan will also go ashore for a short time to buy some necessities of life, and then we will continue to drift back to the deep sea!"
Xia Yin suddenly bowed deeply to Uncle Zhang: "Uncle, we are going to go ashore here, the younger generation still has a lot to do, thanks to the care along the way, the kindness of the uncle's family, the younger generation and sister will remember it!"
Old Uncle Zhang's face showed a touch of reluctance.
However, after all, the old man was a person who had experienced the stormy years, and he quickly restrained his emotions: "Okay, you follow me to the patriarch's ship, say goodbye, and hope that he will meet again one day!"
Xia Yin's voice was a little choked: "The two elders take care of their bodies, if one day, the juniors have dealt with the matter, they will make a special trip to find the drifting clan and visit the two elders and Sister Ah Xing!"
Old Uncle Zhang's eyes were also a little moist: "Child, if possible, let's try to return to the Chaotic Star Domain, that's our root!"
Xia Yin didn't speak, but secretly remembered this sentence.
It is better to say that Uncle Zhang is persuading himself, but it is better to say that this is the wish of the old man's family.
Next, Xia Yin and Zhang Rouran, under the leadership of Uncle Zhang, went to the patriarch's ship to say goodbye, and after the fleet docked, they exchanged cherishes with the patriarch and Uncle Zhang's family......
......
The two men disembarked from the boat and walked through the bustling crowd of fish buyers towards a smoky canyon.
The Merlin Islands, which are connected by dozens of islands of various sizes, are already a large land in this chaotic land full of vast seas.
"Xia Yin, where are we going next?" Zhang Rouran looked a little dazed.
"It's best to find a market where monks gather, and figure out the situation in the immortal cultivation realm in the land of rebellion, if not, it's okay to find a secular mortal market, live for a while, and slowly get familiar with the situation here, and then make plans!"
Zhang Rouran nodded slightly.
Now she is naturally obedient to Xia Yin's words.
Xia Yin raised his eyes to see that this land composed of islands, with mountains and mountains, formed a canyon area, and dense cooking smoke rose from the canyon, which was obviously a place inhabited by humans.
The two wandered all the way into the canyon, and found that it was indeed a bazaar, and the scale was not small, equivalent to a medium-sized city in the Chaotic Star Domain.
A long and wide street runs through the entire canyon, lined with buildings, but most of them are one- or two-story wooden buildings, according to Uncle Zhang, this is to resist the strong winds at sea, and dare not build the buildings too high.
The two sides of the street are lined with a variety of shops.
Xia Yin carefully observed and found that these shops were all opened by secular mortals, and they had nothing to do with cultivators.
The two of them spent a whole hour walking the entire street, and they did not find any trace of the Xiuzhen shop.
In the end, Xia Yin chose an inn called Guanhailou to live.
The secular world in the land of rebellion also uses gold and silver as currency, and there are still a few hundred taels of silver in Xia Yin's storage ring, which is just right to use.
The inn business is not very good, and it seems deserted.
Xia Yin and Zhang Rouran chose two VIP rooms on the second floor, and ordered a few dishes for Xiao Er to send to the room.
Not long after the two returned to the room, Xiao Er walked up with the dishes, and under Xia Yin's signal, he directly took it to the square table in Xia Yin's room.
Zhang Rouran also walked over from the opposite room.
Xia Yin didn't rush to eat, but beckoned Xiao Er and threw out a silver ingot.
Xiao Er is a young man who looks very smart.
Taking the silver thrown by Xia Yin, Xiao Er's face instantly smiled, and he bowed down to Xia Yin: "Childe, what do you command?"
"Little Second Brother, we are new to the city, and we want to ask you, in addition to mortals, there are immortal cultivators in this Merlin Islands?"
Xiao Er glanced at the storage bag on Zhang Rouran's waist without a trace, and his face became more respectful.
"Back to Gongzi, two or three years ago, there were very few monks in the Merlin Islands, because there were no spiritual ...... What does the Spirit come from......
"It's a spiritual vein, right?" Xia Yin reminded.
"Yes, yes, yes...... It is the spiritual vein, and in the entire Merlin Islands, there is no spiritual vein that the monk master needs most, so even if the monk master occasionally appears, it is only after staying here for a short time, he will go to the Chaotic Star Islands, and I heard that it is the world of the monk master!"
Xia Yin nodded slightly: "What you just said was two or three years ago, so now ......"
Xiao'er continued: "The last two years have been very abnormal, there are often monks and fairies like the two, and even groups are common, I heard that the entire forty-odd islands facing the archipelago are almost occupied by these monks!"
"Occupying? Didn't you just say that there are no spiritual veins on these islands, and what is the use of them occupying the islands?"
Xiao'er shook his head slightly: "I don't know about this little one!"
Xia Yin nodded slightly: "Okay, I know, you go down!"
Xiao Er was slightly stunned!
I originally thought that after taking a reward of ten taels of silver, there should be more troublesome things for me to do, but I didn't expect to ask a few words!
Xia Yin naturally saw Xiao Er's surprise, and said with a smile: "You go down, remember that if you find anything about the monk, come and tell me, the more detailed the better!"
Xiao Er nodded again and again, respectfully retreated to the door of the room, and then left with a smile on his face......
Xia Yin glanced at Zhang Rouran and said, "It seems that these monks are either Chaotic Star Domain monks who have been defeated by other major star domains, or they are people sent by those major star domains, and several major star domains want to take the Merlin Islands as their own!"
Zhang Rouran nodded slightly: "It should be like this, but what does this have to do with us?"
Xia Yin smiled bitterly: "If these people are Chaotic Star Domain cultivators, my identity is likely to be exposed, I must be careful, if it is several other Star Domain cultivators, I am ready to try to contact them, and see if I can find a way to lift the trapped Dantian Qi Sea from other cultivators!"
Zhang Rouran shook her head slightly, with a trace of worry on her face: "Now our strength has been greatly reduced, in this chaotic land, there is no power to protect ourselves at all, I think it is better to find a quiet place, alchemy and penance for a period of time, and wait for me to regain the foundation building realm, and then make plans!"
Xia Yin pondered for a moment: "This is also a safe way, as long as the pill is enough, you should recover the foundation building realm quickly, but ......"
"But what?" Zhang Rouran asked suspiciously.
"You should have already seen that the pill I refined is a bit special, it contains a violent aura, and it will erode the brain, I am afraid that if you take this pill for a long time, there will be unpredictable consequences!"
A smile appeared on Zhang Rouran's face: "You're talking about the pure demonic qi contained in the elixir, right?"
Xia Yin looked at the other party with some shock: "You...... How do you know?"
Zhang Rouran glanced outside the room, and then lowered her voice: "Don't forget, I am a void spirit, a person who can freely shuttle through space, and when I shuttle through different spaces, I will encounter all kinds of terrifying demonic qi and violent aura at any time, but why am I safe and sound?"
Without waiting for Xia Yin to speak, Zhang Rouran explained with some pride: "Because the Void Spirit Body can not only repel all the riot aura, but my body also has an automatic purification effect, your demonic energy in the pill will not affect me at all!
Xia Yin couldn't help but look at the monster's eyes, staring at the girl opposite, without hiding the envy and jealousy on his face: "The Void Spirit Body is simply against the sky!"
Zhang Rouran smiled: "Of course, otherwise how can it make those Yuan Babies and even the old monsters red!"
Xia Yin also nodded approvingly.
"In that case, let's stay here for a few days, continue to find out more about the situation of the Merlin Islands, and then find an uninhabited island, let you dive for a while, and when we recover our strength, we will make plans!"
Seeing that Xia Yin accepted his suggestion without hesitation, Zhang Rouran was also very happy, picked up a piece of chicken with chopsticks, and put it in Xia Yin's bowl: "Okay, for your sake, this piece of chicken will reward you!"
Xia Yin smiled bitterly: "If I knew this was the case, we might as well stay on the isolated island all the time!"
Zhang Rouran glared at Xia Yin: "Nonsense, it's good to be trapped, and we are looking for a small island by ourselves, it's two different things!"
After eating, Xiao Er put away the dishes and chopsticks, and the two chatted casually for a while, and it was completely dark, so they went back to their rooms to rest......
......
In the next few days, Xia Yin and Zhang Rouran wandered around the streets, figuring out the environment of the entire Merlin Islands.
And in the past few days, the two found that there were monks constantly appearing on this street, and even a few people also stayed in the Guanhai Building.
Because he didn't know if these people were cultivators of the Chaotic Star Domain, Xia Yin didn't plan to take the initiative to contact them, but instead kept living in seclusion, hiding his whereabouts, and cultivating silently in the inn.
And so it went on for another three days.
At noon on this day, Xia Yin was meditating and practicing in his room as usual, when he suddenly heard a knock on the door.
"Rouran, is that you?" Xia Yin asked in a loud voice.
Originally, with Xia Yin's strong spiritual power, he could know the situation outside with a random sweep, but in this strange place, Xia Yin seemed very cautious and easily did not dare to reveal the secret of his strong spiritual power.
"Childe, it's me!" came Xiao Er's voice outside the door.
Xia Yin stood up and opened the door, only to see Xiao Er bowing down excitedly and saying, "Childe, I heard something about it, and I came to report to Childe!"
Xia Yin smiled and said, "Okay, you can say it!"
"The little one just went to Zhang Ji Butcher's Shop to buy meat, and saw a young monk on the street, holding a sign, saying that he was recruiting a group of people to go to an isolated island three hundred miles away to mine ore!"
Xia Yin couldn't help frowning slightly: "That's it?"
Xiao Er shook his head: "No, no, no, how dare the little one forget what the son commanded, if it wasn't for something related to the monk master, the little one would naturally not bother, the monk master said, because the ore is in the shallow sea, ordinary mortals can't mine it at all, they can only do some miscellaneous work to carry the ore, and the most important thing is to recruit some low-level monks to help with mining, and those who are willing to go will get a considerable amount of spiritual ...... Spirit Stones!"
Xia Yin nodded slightly.
Even the lowest-level Qi Refining Layer 1 cultivator can hold his breath for half an hour, and if he is a Qi Refining Fifth or Sixth Layer Cultivator, he can even hold his breath for half a day, which is indeed the best candidate for underwater mining.
"That monk, did you say what ore to mine?" Xia Yin asked.
Xiao Er shook his head: "This little one doesn't dare to ask!"
"I see, you're doing well, go ahead!"
As he spoke, Xia Yin threw another piece of silver......
