325 Batta Reef
Wang Xiaodao proposed to let Ye Qin serve as the chief alchemist of the large and small glazed islands at the same time.
Lord Zhao Dadao pondered for a moment and did not object. The best way to solve this matter is only like this, otherwise there will only be two Jindan monks fighting together, but it will be too hurtful and angry.
"Two ancestors, this kid is just talking, so young, where did he refine the seventh-order elixir?! No one has seen it with their own eyes, it's just hearsay, the two ancestors must not believe one-sided words, and easily appoint him as the chief alchemist of the Big and Small Liuli Islands!"
An old man in a green robe and gray beard with a haggard face standing next to Zhao Dadaozhi hurriedly jumped out to oppose at this time.
"Yes, what Elder Li said is exactly. This kid is a foreign monk, and he doesn't even know his true origin, how can we trust him?" "Maybe he just wants to cheat and drink here, the island master, our elixir must not be handed over to him, it will only be wasted."
Several other green-robed alchemists also hurriedly stood up to express their strong opposition.
The appearance of Ye Qin, an alchemy master, was a surprise to the monks of the entire Liuli Island. But for a very small number of people on the island, it was a very bad thing, that is, more than ten alchemists raised by the two island owners.
They refined elixirs for the two island masters and other monks, and enjoyed extremely high courtesy. If they were replaced by Ye Qin, the courtesy they enjoyed would undoubtedly drop greatly. The biggest benefit will be taken by Ye Qin.
The most anxious person in the main hall at the moment is probably the original chief alchemist of Daliuli Island, that is, the old monk Li who jumped out first with a green robe and gray beard.
Last night, after he heard the news that there was an extremely skilled alchemist on the island, he couldn't sleep all night, feeling that something was wrong. Now the two island owners proposed to let Ye Qin be the chief alchemist, and they couldn't accept him coming to the clear sky.
"That's right, what Elder Li said is right. The old man just listened to a few subordinates, saying that your alchemy is very good, and you yourself said that your alchemy is good. But it's useless to just say it, you have to refine it
The real elixir will come. Master Ye's nephew, what do you say?
Island Lord Zhao squinted his eyes and said with a smile.
"The island master knows what my alchemy skills are, as long as I refine a few furnaces of elixir, everything will naturally be clear. Why say so much?"
Ye Qin said flatly.
"Okay, the old man will give you ten parts of the sixth-order elixir and ten parts of the seventh-order elixir. If your alchemy skills are really so skillful, you are the chief alchemist of the Great and Small Glass Islands. If you are not as clever as you say, and waste these ten precious seventh-order spiritual herbs of the old man in vain, the old man will definitely kill you to vent his hatred!"
Lord Zhao patted his seat and made a decision. There was a bit of chill in his tone.
"It's nature. ”
Ye Qin's heart sank slightly, knowing that if he couldn't refine the elixir, this Zhao Island Lord would never show mercy.
"Island Master, I can't help it! Ten parts of the seventh-order spiritual medicine are too precious. Even I may not be able to succeed once or twice, how can this little hand be refined!"
Li Lao still wanted to be anxiously dissuaded.
But the two island masters didn't listen at all, they were very much looking forward to Ye Qin's alchemy. The same elixir can be doubled, such a high reward is enough for them to take a risk.
Daliuli Island, the main peak, a top-level alchemy room.
Outside the alchemy room, dozens of Zhuji monks dressed in blue robes and blue shirts surrounded them, guarding outside the Dan room all night, prohibiting any other monks from approaching this place. And the two island masters, as well as those blue-robed monks, came to see them almost every few hours.
Seven days later, the alchemy room was opened, and a fragrance of elixir came to my nose.
Dozens of blue-robed and blue-shirted monks stood respectfully outside, looking at a young monk in white who came from inside with almost reverence.
Those blue-robed monks were all gray at the moment, and they had completely lost the courage to question.
Seven days ago, they saw with their own eyes that Ye Qin had entered this alchemy room on the main peak with ten sixth-order elixirs and ten seventh-order elixirs with nothing on his body. When he came out, Ye Qin took out the sixth-order "Guiyuan Dan" of eight small porcelain bottles and the seventh-order "Turtle Marrow Pill" of three small porcelain bottles. The facts before them made it impossible for them to say anything against them. They had strongly questioned Ye Qin's alchemy, and they didn't dare to have any objections at this time.
The two Jindan monks, Lord Zhao Dadao and Lord Wang Xiaodao, no longer had any doubts about Ye Qin's alchemy, and directly announced that Ye Qin would be the chief alchemist of the two islands.
"Island Master Zhao, if you want me to refine the pill, you can, but I have a few small conditions. I like to be quiet in alchemy and can't be disturbed in any way, so I need a solitary and secluded cave mansion as a place for alchemy, and I hope that any other monks on the island will not trespass. Secondly, I also need an alchemy boy as an assistant, give the elixir materials to the child, and he will hand them over to me, and after I refine the elixir, the child will directly send them to the two ancestors. Again, I only refine the elixir for the two island masters, and I can't do anything about the elixir that the other monks on the island need. Last but not least, sometimes I need to go out to look for elixirs, I need to go out to sea to hunt sea beasts, and I hope that the two island owners will not send people to interfere with my actions. As long as you agree to these points, you are willing to work for the two island owners. ”
After Ye Qin handed over these bottles of elixir to Lord Zhao Dadao, he did not immediately agree to take over as the chief alchemist, but instead made a few requests.
Shipping a few is a small requirement, and it is also very reasonable.
The owner of Zhao Island naturally did not allow it.
As a result, Ye Qin officially became the chief alchemist of the Great and Small Liuli Islands.
The lord of Zhao Dadao personally selected a cave house with a strong aura on a mountain peak on Daliuli Island and rewarded Ye Qin with a place to live. Moreover, Ye Qin only needed to refine a furnace of seventh-order elixir for each of the two island masters every month, and there was no need to refine elixir for other cultivators.
After Ye Qin became the chief alchemist of the Great and Small Liuli Islands, he rarely left his cave mansion and lived a life of retreat and cultivation in isolation. Even when he went out occasionally, at dawn or at night when there were fewer people, he rarely interacted with other monks.
Soon it fell silent, and gradually faded into oblivion to the ordinary monks on the island. The addition of a chief alchemist did not bring any obvious changes to the large and small glazed islands in the East China Sea.
Time flies on the island, and in a flash, most of the year passes.
At dawn on this day, a young monk dressed in white and a seventh-order foundation building flew over from the main peak of Daliuli Island and appeared at the ferry crossing on the small island.
At the ferry, there is a small sailing boat moored. There were several low-level Qi cultivation period cultivators on the ship, who were sitting on the boat resting. Ye Qin flew and jumped onto the boat. "This senior, are you going to the sea to hunt demon beasts?
The owner of the ship, a simple man from the ninth layer of the Qi cultivation period, hurriedly stood up and greeted him, and looked at Ye Qin suspiciously. He didn't seem to have seen Ye Qin, and he didn't have any impression.
"You're the shipowner?"
"The little one is exactly.
"I heard from one of my brothers that the boatman here is very familiar with the waters around this glazed island. Know when the sea beasts will exist, where they will be infested, where they are dangerous, and where they will be safe. I want to hire you on this ship and go out to sea in search of sea beasts. I don't know if your ship is inconvenient now
The whitefriar nodded and said softly.
"Convenient and easy to sail right away. My family has lived on this island for generations, and for forty or fifty years, I have been out to sea every day, and I know the waters around this island very well. The price is not expensive, as long as ten low-grade spirit stones. I don't know what sea beasts my predecessors want to hunt?"
The honest man laughed, and several other Qi cultivation period monks set sail.
"Uh... Of course, the place with more sea beasts is better, so let's go around the island first. You introduce a few places, I'll pick one. Ye Qin stood at the bow of the ship and looked at the vast sea around the island.
"This senior, there are as many as hundreds of places where sea beasts often haunt the sea area near Liuli Island. However, there are not many suitable places to hunt. If you want to hunt sea beasts at sea, you'd better find a reef. Within hundreds of miles around this glazed island, there are dozens of reefs that are exposed to the sea, some of which are one or two hundred zhang in size, enough to accommodate dozens of foundation-building monks. Some of the reefs are less than a few zhang in size, and can only accommodate a foundation building monk to stand on. These reefs are bare rocks with no vegetation growing. However, almost all of these reefs around Liuli Island have owners, and there are foundation monks guarding the reefs and hunting sea beasts around the reefs. ”
The humble man gave a detailed introduction while operating the boat.
"Oh, there is such a thing? Isn't it impossible for a foundation monk without a reef to hunt sea beasts?"
Ye Qin couldn't help frowning, puzzled.
"Not really. Seniors can rent it from the owner of the reef, after all, they can't stay on the reef for a long time, and their owners can't be on the reef all day long. You only need to pay some spirit stones and borrow reef rocks to use them. ”
The honest man said.
"Near this glazed island, there are the most sea beasts around that reef?"
"That must be the Bafan Reef, this reef is more than 70 miles away from Xiaoliuli Island, a full 12 zhang square, shaped like a banana fan. It is surrounded by the most sea beasts.
The man said casually.
"Let's go to Bafan Reef then. ”
Ye Qin said.
"I can't go. It was the reef of Brother Han Zhengfeng, a proud disciple of the Lord of Zhao Dadao, where he often hunted sea beasts. On this glass island, no one dares to fight with him for that reef. In addition to Brother Han's own use, occasionally even the Lord of Zhao Dadao would go where to hunt sea beasts. So the other monks can't even lend. ”
The honest man was stunned for a moment, almost thinking that he had misheard, and hurriedly dissuaded him. He had lived on Xiaoliuli Island for decades, but he knew Brother Han's temper very well. Whoever gets into trouble will have no good fruit to eat.
"It's okay, take me over and have a look. ”
Ye Qin said lightly.
For Ye Qin's insistence, the man's persuasion was useless, and he had no choice but to sail to Bafan Reef by boat, and the man complained in his heart, if he couldn't borrow the reef, he had to go to other places, why bother
More than two hours later, Ye Qin took a small sailboat and came to the vicinity of a large reef. The reef is really large, shaped like a banana fan. And at the four corners of the reef, there is also a medium-sized formation flag.
A middle-aged monk in blue was sitting cross-legged in the middle of the reef with his eyes closed, as if he was meditating on something all over his body. Beside him stood a top-level flying sword, hovering in mid-air, blooming with several feet of golden light.
He's been sitting here for more than two hours.
Suddenly, the middle-aged monk's brows twitched, his hand pinched the law, and with a wave of two fingers in his right hand, the golden flying sword moved, turning into a ray of light, and shooting into the sea water on the west side of the reef. The sea is churning sharply.
"Poof!"
In a moment, a stream of bloody blood gushed out of the sea, staining a large area of the sea red.
The middle-aged monk in blue moved his fingers.
A golden sword rushed out of the sea, and there was a long flat sea beast pierced on the sword, and with a "snap", the flying sword nailed this strange-looking flat long sea beast firmly to the reef
Above.
The blue-robed middle-aged monk ignored the sea fish, he opened his eyes and looked sharply at the approaching small sailboat. Everyone knows that this Bafan Reef is the reef of his Han Zhengfeng. So very few other monks dare to come here to borrow the reef. Even if someone was reckless, he sent them away.
Ye Qin stood at the bow of the boat, arched his hand towards the blue-clothed middle-aged monk on the reef, and said with a smile: "This should be Brother Han." I want to lease the reef of Brother Tai, I wonder if Brother Han can make it convenient?"
"If you don't borrow this reef, you can choose another place to hunt sea beasts. ”
The blue-clothed monk didn't think about it, and refused.
However, he suddenly felt that the whitefriar in front of him was somewhat familiar, and he remembered something. More than half a year ago, he had seen Ye Qin in person in the glazed hall. Because of his amazing alchemy, he was hired by the two island owners as the chief alchemist, specializing in refining high-level elixirs for the two island masters. It's just that Ye Qin has been in retreat since then, and he has never seen him again, so he gradually forgot about it.
"You're Brother Ye... Ah, disrespectful, disrespectful!"
The blue-clothed monk suddenly showed a shocked face, and even stopped sitting, he quickly stood up from the reef and walked up quickly, with a smile on his face, "How can Brother Ye have time to come to this sea to hunt sea beasts? Since Brother Ye wants to borrow my reef for use, it is naturally necessary. Well, I've collected a few elixirs for my brother over the years, but I've been struggling to find a suitable alchemist to refine... I wonder if Brother Ye has been free lately?"
"Thank you, Brother Han. Gifts are still exchanged, that's natural. When I go back, help Brother Han take a look at those elixirs.
There is also a small bottle of elixir here, a few pills of Tuoyuan Pill, as my rental reef fee.
Ye Qin smiled, took a small bottle of elixir, and stuffed it into Han Zhengfeng's hand.
"You're welcome to be a brother. ”
Han Zhengfeng did not retreat, and accepted it with a laugh.
The honest man of the small sailboat, as well as several other crew members, all looked at Ye Qin and Han Zhengfeng dumbfounded at this time. This white-clothed monk just said a word, and let Zhao Dadao's proud disciple take the initiative to lend the Bafan Reef.
This is almost unheard of on Liuli Island.
