Chapter 62: Return to the Sect
In the air, above the flying sword.
"South Star State, Thousand Sea Islands..."
Listening to Yu Shuier's narration, Zhang Yun couldn't help but let out a breath.
He and Su Die really guessed that Yu Shui'er came from the Antarctic Sea in Nanxingzhou, and the young man in black and the young man in colorful robes who took the photo were the elites of Qianhai Island.
The purpose of coming here is to bring Yu Shui'er back.
The origin of everything starts a year ago.
The Antarctic Sea is the largest sea area in the South Star State. Qianhai Island, the dominant force in the South Star State, is located on the Antarctic Sea. The mermaid tribe that Yu Shui'er belongs to is composed of hundreds of mermaids. They have always lived in the Antarctic Sea below a thousand meters and rarely come into contact with land.
But one day a year ago, when Yu Shui'er and a few playmates left the group to play, they accidentally discovered a human monk lying in the sand after being severely injured by a sea beast.
Because he rarely had contact with humans, out of curiosity, Yu Shui'er and a few playmates went over to check him out. They found that he still had a mouthful, so they secretly brought him back to the group to heal his wounds. After the monk woke up, he was also grateful to them. He not only told them many interesting stories about the land, but also gave them many things on the land.
This made Yu Shui'er and the other mermaids quite happy.
However, some elders in their tribe did not like humans, and Yu Shui'er and other mermaids did not dare to let the monk stay for a long time, and sent him away after he recovered from his injuries.
So far everything is fine.
Yu Shui'er and several of his playmates didn't think much about it, but they didn't expect that this would cause trouble for their tribe.
Just three months ago, the human monk they rescued led a large group of Qianhai Island monks and directly surrounded and suppressed their mermaid tribe.
Facing the powerful Thousand Sea Islands, even the mermaid tribe under the sea would find it difficult to resist. At the critical moment, their clan leader and several of the eldest mermaid clan elders arranged a large formation to temporarily trap the strong men of Qianhai Island and buy time for them, the mermaid clan, to escape.
However, Qianhaidao had already expected that the mermaids might escape, and sent many monks to intercept them in the surrounding waters.
In the end, only some of the mermaids escaped, and most of the mermaids were captured on the spot, including Yu Shui'er.
However, on the way to transport the mermaids back to Qianhai Island, they were attacked by a group of sea beasts. The battle between the elders of Qianhai Island and the returning group caused a powerful aftermath. It shattered the cages holding the mermaids like them, allowing many mermaids to take the opportunity to escape, including Yu Shui'er.
But she didn't get far before she was caught.
The person who caught her was not the person from Qianhai Island, but the human who had been treated by her but brought the monks from Qianhai Island to encircle and suppress their tribe.
The other party told her that it was not her intention to bring Qian Haidao here, but because she had no choice but to attract a group of sea beasts to attack her, just to send her away.
Yu Shui'er saw the other party's tearful appearance and couldn't help but believe the other party once. However, after entering the cloth bag prepared by the other party, she was fainted by the musk smeared in the bag.
When she woke up later, she found that she had been put up for auction in South Mall.
As for the human monk she had rescued, he had long since disappeared!
Looking at Yu Shui'er who was biting her lip and looking aggrieved after finishing speaking, Zhang Yun shook his head slightly.
Simple!
This is a real-life version of the farmer and the snake.
If he guessed correctly, Su Die mentioned to him before that the Nanxingzhou businessman who came to Nanshang City was probably the monk who was treated by Yu Shui'er. The other party sent Yu Shui'er as a lot to the Nanshang branch for auction.
This is not surprising either.
A mermaid can easily produce more than ten or two hundred thousand spiritual stones. It is impossible to make the monk not be tempted.
But after hearing this, Zhang Yun was a little confused.
According to what Yu Shui'er said, the Nanxingzhou businessman who was treated by her was not from Qianhaidao, so sending Yushui'er to Nanyunzhou for auction must have been a secretive process. How did Qianhaidao get the news?
After all, as long as the Southern Star State businessman didn't want to die, he probably wouldn't dare to reveal the news to Qianhai Island.
Moreover, it will take some time to come from Nanxingzhou. Since the two disciples of Qianhai Island, the young man in black and the young man in Chinese robe, are here, it means that Qianhai Island has received the news long before the auction begins.
Could it be that someone inside Qianhai Island colluded with the Nanxingzhou businessman?
Zhang Yun shook his head.
Regardless of whether he had colluded or not, what was certain at the moment was that the biggest desire of his third disciple was obviously to save his people from Qianhai Island.
Thousand Islands...
Thinking of the diary in the underground cave in Nanfeng Forest, Zhang Yun rubbed his eyebrows.
Fate in this world is just such a coincidence sometimes!
It seems that he is destined to know these Thousand Islands for a while in the future!
"Shui'er, I know your situation. But I must tell the truth. I think my current strength is not enough to fight against Qianhai Island. But I can assure you..."
Zhang Yun took a deep breath, looked at Yu Shui'er and spread his fingers and said: "Give me five years. Within five years, I will go to Qianhai Island to rescue your people. If it's too late and your people have been killed, then I will Flatten these thousands of islands and bury them with your people!”
This plain sentence made Yu Shui'er a little dazed.
Although she begged Zhang Yun to help her tribe, she actually didn't have much hope. After all, she already knew what kind of force Qianhai Island was.
This is a giant-level force on the human side.
Now, Zhang Yun actually dares to give such a guarantee?
Yu Shui'er felt a warm current in her heart. She pursed her lips, looked up at Zhang Yun seriously for the first time, and nodded vigorously, "Master, I believe you!"
"You have gained the approval of your disciple Yu Shui'er and successfully accepted you as a disciple!"
Zhang Yun breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the ethereal sound of the Immortal Master World coming to his ears.
It’s not easy to accept a disciple!
Go to Qianhai Island within five years...
He admitted that his head did feel a little hot when he said this. But it doesn’t matter if you think about it, he is a man with golden fingers. If you can’t fuck a thousand islands in five years, then don’t mess around!
…
Two days later, Zhang Yun returned to the sect from his underground tunnel alone.
He left the cave as soon as possible.
For those in the Lingxian Sect who were paying attention to the Ninth Peak, he had just come out of seclusion.
After leaving the cave, Zhang Yun left the sect directly.
This attracted a lot of attention.
Zhang Yun didn't pay attention. He didn't go too far after leaving the sect, but just wandered around. Then he wandered into one of the villages at random, where he brought a young girl back to the sect, claiming to be his third disciple.
This surprised those who were paying attention to him.
Zhang Yun's first two apprentices, Xu Ming and Wu Xiaopang, are now known to everyone in Lingxian Sect. Judging from this standard, his vision for recruiting disciples should be very high.
But now he just brought a village girl back from a village outside the sect to be his third apprentice? What kind of operation is this?
Many people didn't understand.
Zhang Yun didn't care whether they understood it or not. What he brought back from Zongmen Village was actually the fish Shui'er that had been placed there in advance.
This is just to give Yu Shui'er a reasonable apprentice status.
The ninth peak, inside the cave.
"Are you still used to it?"
Zhang Yun asked as he looked at Yu Shui'er who was walking in a long skirt and a pair of embroidered shoes.
"I'm still a little uncomfortable with it, but I'll be fine with more practice!" Yu Shui'er said as he walked.
She has been practicing for a day, and now she can imitate normal human walking, but she still has some stumbles.
"Take your time, don't rush..."
Zhang Yun said: "Master, let me help you repair your inner elixir first!"
"Master, how do you know my inner elixir..."
When Yu Shui'er heard this, she looked at Zhang Yun in surprise.
"If I don't have any eyesight, how can I be a master?"
Zhang Yun smiled slightly and said: "Sit down and bring out your inner elixir for me to see!"
Yu Shui'er nodded, sat down with her fish tail folded, made a special handprint with her hands and placed them on her chest, and then opened her mouth.
Buzz!
A milky white inner elixir the size of an eyeball, exuding a shimmering light, floated out from it.
It can be seen that there is a long and thin crack on the inner elixir.
"Master, this was caused by the energy wave I caused when I was escaping..."
Yu Shui'er's face was a little pale.
It was okay that it hadn't been moved before, but now that the inner elixir was moved, it also affected some injuries in her body.
‘Use spiritual energy to repair the cracks in the inner elixir, and then take crystal ganoderma to make up for the lack of water attribute energy and completely restore it. ’
Looking at the information brought by the Immortal Master's Heavenly Eye, Zhang Yun said: "Relax your body, my master is going to help you repair your inner elixir!"
Yu Shui'er nodded.
Zhang Yun immediately circulated his spiritual energy and began to incorporate the inner elixir bit by bit.
Visible to the naked eye, the cracks on the inner elixir gradually healed as the spiritual energy merged into the inner elixir.
"Take it back!"
After it was almost done, Zhang Yun immediately spoke.
Yu Shui'er quickly opened her mouth and swallowed the inner elixir.
Zhang Yun immediately took out a crystal Ganoderma lucidum and handed it to her: "Take this Ganoderma lucidum!"
Yu Shui'er took it, opened her mouth and swallowed.
Crystal Ganoderma is different from other elixirs. After swallowing, it turns into a liquid and pours into the body, just like drinking water, and it is very easy to absorb.
No, Yu Shui'er's body obviously began to absorb it as soon as he swallowed it, and his whole body emitted little crystal blue lights.
‘Inner elixir repair progress——5%…30%…55%’
A progress number popped up in Zhang Yun's eyes, and it jumped to 100% in a few seconds.
The aura on Yu Shui'er's body began to rise steadily.
In the blink of an eye, he rushed from the fifth level of the Qi refining stage to the peak of the tenth level of the Qi refining stage.
This is not a breakthrough, just a restoration of cultivation.
"Your disciple Yu Shui'er's cultivation level has been raised from the fifth level of recovery to the peak level of Qi refining stage. You will get a hundredfold return on your cultivation level!"
But it still brought about a return of cultivation.
Zhang Yun sat down cross-legged to refine.
This returned energy is not large, or in other words, now he needs more and more energy. After refining this part of the energy, he has not been able to break through to the first level. The state is still at the eighth level, the peak of the foundation period.
But he can feel that he has reached the peak of this realm. With some more energy, he will probably be able to break through!
"Thank you, master!"
Yu Shui'er also opened her eyes at this time, her originally pale face turned rosy, and her expression was full of joy.
Her inner elixir was completely restored and all her strength was back!
She has been in a weak state since she was killed and captured three months ago, and her inner elixir was damaged. In this state, she had no sense of security at all and was in constant panic. Every day she was worried that she would be eaten alive in the next second.
Now that her strength was restored, she suddenly regained the lost sense of security.
Looking at Zhang Yun, he was particularly grateful.
If there was still a trace of doubt before, now, she has complete trust in Zhang Yun!
"Just recover..."
Zhang Yun smiled, and suddenly there was a shock in his body. He couldn't help but look at Yu Shui'er: "Shui'er, let's meet your two senior brothers!"
Yu Shui'er was startled, looked at him and nodded: "Okay, master!"
"Don't feel any pressure, your two senior brothers are not bad people!"
Zhang Yun knew that she still had some grudges against humans, so he expressed relief, took out the sound transmission stone from his arms and said: "Ming'er, you and Xiaopang come here!"
