Chapter 63: Genius

Sun You's face showed a little admiration, and at the same time, he was a little lucky, and said: "After you and Zhong Qingzhu disappeared that day, Senior Brother Wang Gan immediately mobilized people to search the whole island, but after searching for three days, he didn't find you, so some people persuaded Senior Brother Wang to forget about it." To be honest, even I thought that the two of you were probably swept away by the waves, and I was frustrated for a while. ”

"However, Senior Brother Wang didn't know why, he insisted on searching, and everyone didn't dare to disobey his wishes, so he searched for a few more days, but he searched until the seventh day, and still didn't see any trace of you. At this moment, all the brothers and sisters on the island were a little unbearable, and rumors were circulating everywhere. I saw Senior Brother Wang's gloomy face all day long in the past few days, alas, ......" Sun You shook his head, glanced at Shen Shi, and said,

"On the eighth day, Senior Brother Wang was forced to order a halt to the search, and now everyone thought that even he had given up, and to be honest, I was almost dead at that time. But no one expected that he had been locked up in the Xuanri Hall for a day, and on the ninth day, he actually went straight to the 'Array Hall' on Jinhong Mountain, and he didn't know how he did it, but he actually said that Elder Mo, who presided over the Array Hall, personally went to our Qingyu Island and laid the 'Qibao Dou Leading Array', which is the light mask you saw that day. ”

Shen Shi didn't expect that in the days when he was missing, so many things had happened in order to find him, especially the usually majestic and resolute Senior Brother Wang, who could be said to be saved by Wang Gan's persistence, and he couldn't help but feel grateful in his heart, and said: "Senior Brother Wang saved me like this, I really don't know how to repay it." ”

Sun You smiled and said, "Forget it, we are just starting to cultivate now, what can we give him in return, let's talk about it when we have a chance later." ”

Shen Shi nodded, thinking that this was indeed the case, and then remembered the magical light shield he saw the day before yesterday, which was what Sun You said about the Seven Treasure Dou Array, all kinds of magical wonders, which were really amazing, and it was really a veritable immortal method, and he couldn't help but ask Sun You again: "What kind of powerful means is that Seven Treasure Dou Array, who can actually find us trapped under the cliff?"

Sun You scratched his head, also dazed, and said: "I heard that this magic circle is a very clever magic power, and it is also a very famous magic circle in the array, but I can't say how." However, I do know that after Senior Brother Wang Gan begged Elder Mo, it took a whole day to arrange this magic circle on Qingyu Island alone, and during this time, I also invited dozens of senior brothers in the formation hall to come down and help. ”

"Good girl, what a big battle......" Shen Shi couldn't help but say a little speechlessly.

Sun You said with a smile: "Who says it's not, and this magic array has to cover the entire island to search, and the cost of setting up the array is not small." Didn't you see that when Elder Mo led the senior brothers of the formation hall to arrange the magic circle on Qingyu Island that day, all kinds of array flags, talismans, spirit crystals, and many spiritual materials that I can't say were swayed out as if they didn't need money, and it took a whole day to arrange them. At that time, the people on the island were stunned, and I was also ......" Speaking of this, Sun You sighed and said, "To be honest, I was really worried about Senior Brother Wang at that time, such a big battle, in case it was in vain again, I was afraid that his reputation in the sect would plummet." ”

Shen Shi was silent, after being saved, Wang Yan also came to see him once, but after asking him in detail about the situation before and after his disappearance, he didn't see anything special, and finally just told him to rest well and left, completely unable to see that Senior Brother Wang actually did so many things to save himself and Zhong Qingzhu.

It's just that at this moment, in the depths of Shen Shi's heart, a thought came to mind irrepressibly, full of doubts: This Senior Brother Wang used such manpower and material resources, and even did not hesitate to ask a sect elder to set up this obviously costly magic circle, in order to save two little junior brothers and sisters of the Qi Refining Realm who had little hope of surviving, why is this......

Shen Shi thought back to the past, and really didn't feel that he had a value worthy of such dedication by Senior Brother Wang Gan, or could it be because of Zhong Qingzhu?

After spending so much manpower and material resources, and paying for the fact that maybe it was a great favor to invite the elders of the sect to take action, whether it was worth it to do this was not only Shen Shi who was secretly wondering in his heart. Even he, one of the people who was saved, was secretly confused in his heart with gratitude, and of course it was just as incomprehensible to others.

On Qingyu Island, I don't know how many disciples of the Ling Xiao Sect who have experienced this scene are talking about this matter in private, that is, in the Ling Xiao Sect Sect, on Jinhong Mountain, in the Immortal Family Victory Realm under the tranquility, there are also a lot of criticisms.

Wang Gan, the man who is ranked among the three swords of Ling Xiao and is also one of the candidates for the next generation of head coaching, can be said to be on the cusp of the limelight during this time, and his fame even overwhelmed several others for a time. Although there was a lot of criticism in this, especially when he first presided over Qingyu Island, a rookie disciple was lost in the sea storm and he couldn't find it for many days, there were loud voices in the Ling Xiao Sect questioning his ability, and there were even rumors that someone in the Council of Elders proposed to replace the candidate, but when the matter developed to the end, Wang Gan invited Elder Mo, almost to everyone's surprise, he actually found the two rookie disciples, and suddenly the momentum of the rumors changed.

Incompetence has become decisiveness, procrastination has become perseverance, and the discernment is unique, and all kinds of praise and praise have come one after another, and it is said that even the real person who is in charge of Huaiyuan praised him meaningfully on a certain occasion:

Wang Gan's son is not a thing in the pool.

※※※

All kinds of turbulence or treacherous clouds in the Lingxiao Sect are all on top of the Wanzhang Immortal Mountain, which seems too far away for the tiny Qingyu Island at the foot of the mountain.

So after that period of hustle and bustle, Qingyu Island finally quickly returned to calm, after all, almost all people on this island, the most important thing is to cultivate, cultivate, and re-cultivate, only by diligently cultivating the Dao and refining the Dao, breaking through the Qi Refining Realm and leaving Qingyu Island, and climbing the Golden Rainbow Immortal Mountain when in the Ning Yuan Realm, those things or another immortal world will show them some clues.

As the two parties involved in the disappearance of the Canghai storm, Shen Shi and Zhong Qingzhu were lucky to escape from death, and afterwards Wang Gen and others also went to check the cave in Caibeitan, and the scenes inside included the cave under the cave leading to the cliff sinkhole, all of which confirmed the statements of the two one by one, and this matter ended here, and gradually no one mentioned it anymore.

The storm came and went, and the days were also passing quietly, cultivating, tasking, earning spirit crystals, and then continuing to cultivate, everything on Qingyu Island seemed to have returned to its original state, of course, there were a few things that changed from the past.

Shen Shi and Sun You have very different backgrounds but have similar temperaments, and they have gradually become good friends who talk about almost everything;

Shen Shi and Zhong Qingzhu experienced the scene of living and dying together in the storm, and naturally became acquainted, when they met and greeted him on weekdays, the delicate and beautiful girl would always wave and smile at him, and then occasionally when there was no one around, she would secretly call him "Little Stone";

Shen Shi is still secretly cultivating the Pure Heart Mantra, practicing twice a day has doubled his consumption of spirit crystals, and his desire to earn spirit crystals is getting bigger and bigger.

There are also a few unlucky people, among them is a person named Su He, the Qi Refining Realm disciples who are responsible for supervising senior brothers on the whole island are all fine, but Shen Shi and Zhong Qingzhu under his name have a big incident, so he is also tragically removed from the responsibility of supervision by Senior Brother Wang Gan afterwards, of course, the original reward given for supervision was also deprived.

In the end, there is one of the most unlucky people, but most people such as Shen Shi, Sun You, Zhong Qingzhu and others don't know at all, he can be regarded as one of their senior brothers. Because of the warning notice posted on the day of the storm in the sea, the matter was not done, and Wang Gan investigated it afterwards, and the others were fine, but this disciple named Lin Hu was severely punished by Wang Gan, and all the existing functions were removed, and he was directly punished to serve as a guard in the "Demon Hunting Cave" in all the places on the six islands of Qingyu, which is known as the most bitter, tiring, and boring, and at the same time has the smallest harvest.

※※※

At the moment of life and death, like the stormy waves of the sea, thrilling enough to make people's souls not possessed, but after the incident passed, after a long time, it gradually became a memory, and quietly became a memorable past in the memory.

Qingyu Island seems to be a paradise, everything is so quiet, Shen Shi and Zhong Qingzhu have returned to a quiet life, and they are practicing hard or silently towards the road of cultivating immortals in their dreams.

In the blink of an eye, three years have passed since this peaceful day.

The waters of Whitefish Bay are still so clear and gentle, the sky is just as blue, the sea breeze is gusting, the seabirds are soaring, and everything here is so peaceful and beautiful except for the occasional sea storm that comes every spring and summer.

In the past three years, the teenagers have grown taller and grown.

Twelve-year-old boys have become fifteen-year-old and a half-year-old, because of the result of constantly absorbing spiritual crystal spiritual power cultivation, these young and fragile teenagers who were immature and fragile when they first entered the island are now fully adapted to the role of monks, and at the same time, their physical bodies have gradually become tough and powerful under the tempering of spiritual power.

At the same time, the girls who had not yet grown like bean sprouts at the beginning gradually bloomed like flowers after these three years, exuding more and more beautiful demeanor, their bodies gradually grew up and their faces became more and more delicate, becoming a beautiful scenery on this herring island.

However, these are just external vain things, under the sect, the cultivators, in the end, the most important and fundamental thing is to cultivate the Dao.

Three years ago, it seemed that the same teenagers started at the same time, but after these three years, they finally began to distinguish the front and back on the way to the path.

Among the more than 400 newcomer disciples, more than seventy percent of them are still trapped in the initial level of the Qi Refining Realm, and they still can't break through the intermediate level in three years.

There are also more than a hundred people, whose talents in cultivation have gradually revealed themselves as their cultivation deepens, and they have gradually broken through in these three years, cultivating to the middle level of the Qi Refining Realm. According to the Ling Xiao Sect's tradition, if a disciple who has cultivated to the middle level of the Qi Refining Realm in three years, his cultivation qualifications can be regarded as at least the upper middle, and there is great hope for him to go further; on this basis, if he can cultivate to the high level of the Qi Refining Realm in the next two years, he will have a great chance of breaking through to the Ning Yuan Realm in the future.

And if the disciples who are fortunate enough to break through the Qi Refining Realm and cultivate to the Ning Yuan Realm in five years have always been deeply valued by the Ling Xiao Sect, not to mention anything else, the Ling Xiao Three Swords, who are now the most famous and prestigious in the sect, are all outstanding disciples who directly cultivated to the Ning Yuan Realm during the first round of five years.

However, in this third year, all the people on Qingyu Island, including the personal disciples led by Wang Gan, all saw only one person in this year.

A true genius who had directly cultivated his Dao Xing to the high level of the Qi Refining Realm in just the third year of his entry into the island, even in the past hundred years, had never seen such a talent in the Ling Xiao Sect, and it could be described as a sensation in the sect for a while.

This man's name is Ganze.

Chapter 64: Magic

On the seventh day of the first month of May, it was sunny.

In the early morning, when the morning sun just rose from the sea level in the depths of the sea, the golden light reflected the sea water into a magnificent crimson, and there were a few pieces of morning glow in the sky, accompanied by the fresh sea breeze, so that Shen Shi, who walked out of the cave, couldn't help but be broad-minded and stretched a big lazy waist.

At about the same time, a rumbling sound sounded behind him, and with a burst of footsteps, a familiar voice walked up to him with a somewhat lazy tone, yawned, and said, "Morning." ”

Shen Shi turned his head to look at his neighbor and said with a smile: "I don't understand, we have been cultivating for three years, it stands to reason that after cultivation, there is only a moment of exhaustion at most, and after a moment of meditation, you will recover, how do you look like you haven't slept well every morning?"

Sun You rolled his eyes and said angrily: "I've been serving those spirit beast masters all day long, and I'm tired." ”

Shen Shi laughed and shook his head silently.

Although Sun You said that he was tired, except for a little sleepy eyes on his face, the whole person's spirit and spirit looked excellent, after all, in the past three years, he had cultivated to the middle level of the Qi Refining Realm, and his physical body was strong and healthy, far from being comparable to when he first started.

Shen Shi, the people in the surrounding circle, have some lucky and some unlucky in cultivation, and Shen Shi himself has also cultivated to the middle level of the Qi Refining Realm under his diligent cultivation, which can be regarded as a surprise to himself. In addition, Sun You, Zhong Qingzhu, and that little chubby girl Zhong Qinglu are actually also talented, and they have all cultivated to the middle level of the Qi Refining Realm. Among the remaining unlucky people, He Xiaomei and Jiang Hongguang have become brothers and sisters, and they are still trapped in the first level of the Qi Refining Realm, which makes them very depressed and troubled, perhaps because of this, the relationship between the two has been much better in recent days.

There are more than 400 newcomer disciples who entered the sect at the beginning, and there are still more than seventy percent, that is, more than two hundred and eighty people, who are still only at the beginning of the Qi Refining Realm, Shen Shi, Sun You, Zhong Qinglu, and Zhong Qingzhu The two sisters have all cultivated to the middle level of the Qi Refining Realm, although they are far from being comparable to Gan Ze, who is known as the first wizard of the Lingxiao Sect in a hundred years, but among the newcomer disciples in this round, the four of them are already quite outstanding.

Speaking of which, among the ten people under the supervision of Senior Brother Su He at the beginning, the rest of them looked like they were generally talented, and now they are still at the beginning of the Qi Refining Realm, and they rarely communicate with Shen Shi, Sun You and others on weekdays, but at least four of these ten people have now cultivated to the middle level of the Qi Refining Realm, which is a little more likely than all the disciples on the island, which can be regarded as a merit of Senior Brother Su He.

It's just that Senior Brother Su He is really unlucky, three years ago, he angered Senior Brother Wang Gan, who was in charge of the affairs of Qingyu Island, in the Canghai Storm, and he was investigated afterwards, but he was relieved of this responsibility, otherwise, now Senior Brother Su may be able to get a few rewards.

Sometimes when chatting, Shen Shi, Sun You, Zhong Qingzhu, He Xiaomei and others will also talk about this senior brother Suhe, and they always sigh that this senior brother is unlucky.

However, bathed in the morning sun and sea breeze at the moment, both Shen Shi and Sun You looked in a good mood, and naturally they would not think about some bad things, Sun You said to Shen Shi: "Are you ready?"

Shen Shi nodded, but there was obviously a little more distress on his face, and he pouted: "One spell requires three spirit crystals, or the lowest first-order Five Elements technique, these senior brothers in the magic hall are too greedy for money!"

Sun You shrugged, with a little helplessness on his face, and said: "No way, you have to say that if you are outside the island, maybe you can go to these shops of the Immortal Society to see and buy some bargains, but on this Qingyu Island, if you want to learn the Five Elements Technique, there is only one place in the Shutang." ”

Saying that, he patted Shen Shi's shoulder lightly and comforted him: "Forget it, anyway, under the Ning Yuan Realm, we will only learn one Five Elements Technique at most, and in the future, when we cultivate to the Ning Yuan Realm, there are countless more powerful and better Taoist magic powers waiting for us, who will pay attention to these complicated and difficult to learn and less powerful Five Elements Techniques?"

Shen Shi frowned, thoughtful, and said, "I've always wanted to ask you, why did you want to learn a Five Elements Technique?"

Sun You didn't answer and asked, "What about you?"

Shen Shi shrugged his shoulders and said, "In order to earn spirit crystals." ”

Sun You sighed and said, "How do you make it?" Anyway, haven't you been peeling shrimp in Red Mussel Village for three years, and you've been enjoying taking the spirit crystals of Red Mussels?"

Shen Shi said angrily: "Don't mention it, it's good to do things over there, as long as I'm not afraid of dirt and blood, I can earn a spirit crystal in almost five days, and I can barely get by, enough for me to cultivate." But recently, the old man of Hongbang Village didn't know what to do, and he said that there was a strange cold snap in the sea outside Qingyu Island recently, which drove away most of the ghost-faced shrimp that had always liked heat and cold, so he directly doubled the price of the original 100 shrimp for a spirit crystal, and asked me to kill 200 to get a spirit crystal. ”

Sun You was stunned for a moment and said, "Is there anything between these two things?"

Shen Shi said: "That's right, it doesn't matter at all, anyway, that's what he did, and he made me half angry, but the spirit crystal is in his hand, and I can't help it, so I have to think about it again to see if there is any other way to earn the spirit crystal." By the way, you haven't said why you want to learn the Five Elements Technique?"

"Well, I'm here for self-defense. Sun You said, "You also know, when we are in the Qi Refining Realm, there will hardly be any Divine Channel Techniques to learn, and it is at this time that all the monks in the world learn one or two Five Elements Techniques." ”

Shen Shi glanced at him and said, "Cultivate well on this Qingyu Island, no one will be unfavorable to you, so why should you consider self-defense?"

Sun You smiled, his eyes seemed to be a little fluttering, and said, "Anyway...... It just doesn't hurt. ”

Shen Shi shrugged and said, "That's right." ”

Sun You suddenly remembered something, and said with a smile: "By the way, you just said that you want to learn this Five Elements Technique in order to earn spirit crystals, there must be some mysterious way, say it quickly, and let me earn this money back." ”

Shen Shi said with a smile: "What's so mysterious about this, it's all written on the task board in the White Crane Hall, it's just that you are lazy and don't want to see it." ”

Sun You was stunned, thought about it for a while, but still didn't think of any results, and said, "What is it?"

"Two things. Shen Shi stretched out two fingers, bent one first, and said, "The first one, hunting demons." ”

Sun You's eyes lit up, thoughtfully, and said: "It turns out that you are talking about the task on the green board, it is said that the 'Demon Hunting Cave' is on the fifth island of Qingyu, and there are three layers in the cave, each with different Yin Spirit Monsters, among which there are many spiritual materials that can enter the alchemy array, and they are all small demons with weak Taoism, as long as they have some ability, they can almost be beaten." Hey, this task is good, and it's a green board, so there should be more spirit crystals than a whiteboard. ”

Shen Shi smiled and said nothing, and Sun You smiled and said, "Big brother, since you said it, let's go back and wait for us to master the Five Elements Technique, and then go together." ”

Shen Shi nodded and said, "It's okay, two people will also take care of it." ”

Sun You said again: "What about the second thing you just said?"

Shen Shi hesitated for a moment and said, "Fu Zheng, I heard that there has been a task about Fu Gong in the Shutang, and the pay is not bad, but if you want to make a Fu, you must first learn the Five Elements Technique, so I thought if I might as well learn one first, maybe I can earn some spirit crystals from the Shutang in the future." ”

Sun You's eyes widened, and he said, "You are really a fan of money, even the spirit crystal of the Shutang that is so stingy and greedy for money that the entire sect is famous that you want to make it!"

Shen Shi sighed and said, "No way, isn't this a lack of spirit crystal cultivation." ”

Sun You sneered, disdainful of his words, the two laughed for a while, and when it was not early, they walked in the direction of the herring fish set, preparing to go to the "Five Elements Palace" of the Shutang on the herring fish island together.

Just walking, Sun You suddenly frowned slightly, his heart moved, and he couldn't help but sneak a glance at Shen Shi beside him, Shen Shi noticed his gaze, and said with a smile: "What's wrong?"

Sun You hesitated, shook his head with a smile, and said, "I'm a little distressed about the three spirit crystals that will be spent later." ”

Shen Shi patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "It's okay, let's use the magic we learned to earn the spirit crystal back in the future!"

Sun You smiled and nodded, but a thought came to his heart for no reason: The spirit crystals consumed by the mid-level cultivation of the Qi Refining Realm are almost one in ten days, according to the speed at which Shen Shi earned spirit crystals in Hongbang Village, it should be relatively rich, right, why does he look extremely embarrassed......

※※※

The Five Elements Hall is concentrated in the herring fish, and it is more than ten zhang away on the west side of the White Crane Hall, which is considered to be living next to each other. However, compared with the lively scene of the continuous flow of people in the White Crane Hall every day, the Five Elements Hall under the Shutang Hall is in response to the words of the starfish girl taught by Shen Shi that day - the door is a bird.

Generally speaking, in the primary realm, Qi Refining Realm cultivators only keep absorbing spiritual power from spirit crystals and improving their Taoism, but because the spiritual power in their bodies is weak, and the Five Elements Technique is essentially a Dao technique that uses the spiritual power in the body to resonate with the power of the five elements of heaven and earth, so as to perform all kinds of strange spells, so in the primary realm, Qi Refining Realm cultivators are generally unable to learn the Five Elements Technique.

Only by cultivating to the middle level of the Qi Refining Realm, at this time, the spiritual power in the monks' bodies has accumulated to a very high point, and they can barely start driving the Five Elements Technique, and at the same time, because in the Qi Refining Realm, the monks do not have Dao magic powers to cultivate, let alone those sacrificial magic weapons, so choosing the One, Two, and Five Elements Technique is the choice of the vast majority of monks at this stage.

However, as we all know, the Five Elements Technique has been known for its complexity and hardship since ancient times, and the lowest level of first-order spells is less powerful, but the difficulty of cultivation is comparable to some ordinary Dao magic powers after the Ning Yuan Realm, which is really a very cost-effective method, if it is not really impossible to choose, most monks will not practice the Five Elements Technique.

In fact, except for those casual cultivators who wandered around the rivers and lakes for a precarious day, they often practiced the Five Elements Technique, and many disciples of some famous sects would not waste their energy practicing this method at all when refining the Qi Realm. Even on Qingyu Island, there are also many mid-level disciples of the Qi Refining Realm who do not plan to learn the Five Elements Technique.

When Shen Shi and Sun You came to the outside of the Five Elements Palace, they saw that the White Crane Hall was full of people more than ten zhang away, and they looked left and right here, as if it was only the two of them, and they couldn't help but look at each other and smile bitterly.

Shaking his head, Shen Shi and Sun You walked in together, although the Five Elements Hall looks like a light business, but it is still quite spacious and spacious in its own construction, and it looks very magnificent, and the gate alone is a few feet high.

Shen Shi had just stepped on the threshold, and suddenly he was stunned, looked at a certain place in front of the hall, was taken aback, and said in astonishment: "Qing ...... Senior Sister Zhong, why are you here?"
