Chapter 1278 Xiaodan Mountain
However, everything has its pros and cons. Although the seedlings of elixirs in the Desolate Sea Region are not as good as those in the Human Race Region, the number of mature sixth-level elixirs far exceeds that in the Northern Territory.
And because the demon race is far less talented than the human race in alchemy, alchemists are highly sought-after talents in this desolate sea area. The number of alchemists who can refine sixth-level elixirs is smaller than the huge number of immortal cultivators in the entire desolate sea area. The number of people can be said to be a drop in the bucket.
It's just that the price of sixth-level elixirs is also very expensive. Things are more valuable when they are rare. In the deserted sea area, although the number of sixth-level elixirs is much more than in barren places such as the Northern Territory, the number of immortal cultivators is still very high. The number is also much larger than that of the Northern Territory.
After Xiao Lin learned about the price of the sixth-level elixir, he was secretly stunned. A bottle of ordinary sixth-level elixir requires at least one hundred thousand medium-grade spiritual stones. If the quality is better, it can even be sold for hundreds of thousands. The price of mid-grade spiritual stones.
In order to buy the materials for refining the Yin-Yang Heaven-locking Formation, Xiao Lin has lost most of his net worth. If all the remaining spiritual stones are used to purchase spiritual elixirs to assist in cultivation, although it can last for a long time, it will also cost him a lot of money. Spiritual stones are in short supply, and I won’t be able to buy good materials in the future.
Xiao Lin was not in a hurry for the time being, but returned to Taoyuan Village. He planned to get familiar with the entire desolate sea area first.
In the following time, Xiao Lin hardly left home and hid in the cave. While comprehending the mysterious principles of the Yin-Yang Heaven Locking Formation, he browsed the map he purchased from Zhongshengzhai.
The map in Xiao Lin's hand almost covered the entire Star Sea Territory. After browsing it for more than half a month, Xiao Lin was extremely shocked by the vastness of the Star Sea Territory.
The Star Sea Territory is one of the four major domains controlled by the Monster Clan. It is also the earliest sea area developed by the Monster Clan. It is also the origin of the Monster Clan. The Holy Spirit Territory was only developed by the earliest group of powerful monks among the Monster Clan. , and control the territory.
The Star Sea Territory mainly consists of two parts, one is the Outer Barbarian Sea, and the other is the Inner Star Sea. In fact, most of the Star Sea Territory today is the Inner Star Sea, and the Outer Barbarian Sea is filled with a large number of monsters and wild ancient beasts. There are even some wild ancient beasts that are hundreds of miles in size. Once they go wild, their combat power will even exceed that of the immortal cultivators in the Tribulation Period, and can even compete with those of the Mahayana cultivators.
What's more important is that there are many of these ancient wild beasts in the endless outer barbaric sea. They also have their own territory and will not leave easily.
The Star Sea Region has gathered a large number of demon cultivators above the transformation stage, and the controllers are several large demon clans.
The demon clan is different from the human clan. The demon clan is divided by race. Although they all belong to the demon clan, fighting and killing each other is a common thing, and it is also tacitly allowed among the top monks of the demon clan.
Just like this desolate sea area, it is controlled by the White Demon family. Xiao Lin also figured out that the so-called White Demon's body is actually a flying paddlefish with white scales all over its body, a single horn on its head, and a back It has two wings and usually lives in the deep sea, but it can also fly into Qingming and survive on land.
In the northern sea of this desolate sea, there are a large number of flying white sturgeons. It is also called the White Scale Sea and is a forbidden land in the entire desolate sea. Under normal circumstances, foreign monks are not allowed to enter this white scale sea.
After the Flying White Sturgeon advances to the emperor level and transforms into a human form, he enters the deserted sea area and becomes the backbone of the entire white demon clan. Not only will he be allocated a lot of resources, but he will also be given the authority to control some of the deserted sea areas. Important resources.
As for the other races, they are all vassals of the White Demon Clan and do some low-end jobs, such as searching for various rare materials, mining spiritual stones in spiritual veins, and the better ones are refining weapons, elixirs, and talismans, etc. wait.
In fact, among the immortal cultivators in the entire Desolate Sea, the transformed white demon clan is only a small part, accounting for only about one-tenth of the number. The rest of the immortal cultivators, some come from other demon races, and some The others are the other dozens of alien races.
Xiao Lin even saw the existence of many human monks in Baidi City. Human monks are good at refining weapons and pills, as well as talismans and formations. They are also talents that the demon clan desperately needs. Therefore, human monks are still very mixed in this demon clan area. Opened, coupled with the intelligence of the human race, it has also established a considerable force in this demon race area.
Even Xiao Lin was greatly surprised.
Of course, Xiao Lin didn't know that during the heyday of the human race, it was once a major clan on the Holy Moon Continent. Later, it declined, and most of the clan members were liquidated. Most of the remaining people gathered in the Beitian Broken Realm, but when the human race was expelled, At that time, many tribesmen were also scattered in various corners of the Holy Moon Continent.
There are thousands of tribes in the Holy Moon Continent. In peacetime, some big tribes are very tolerant towards subordinate races. Unless these subordinate races are ignorant and pose a threat to the big tribes, they will face the risk of being liquidated.
Of course, there are a very few races that are very exclusive and will never allow other races to enter the area they control. However, such races will also restrict their development. After all, races that can gain the advantages of others can develop better. Whether it is various weapon refining techniques or alchemy techniques, they can be better developed through exchanges between races.
Just like the Monster Clan, apart from their innate magical powers, they are not good at refining weapons and elixirs, and these two skills are extremely important in the world of immortality. The vast area controlled by the Monster Clan is rich in resources, and there are also an extremely large number of various elixirs. Many, and through the skills of other races that are good at refining weapons and alchemy, they can continuously provide the demon clan with various levels of magical weapons and elixirs. This is also the guarantee that the demon clan can continue to develop.
Through the introduction of these maps, Xiao Lin also learned about the two mortal enemies of the Monster Clan. One is a race near the Star Sea area, called the Water Demon Clan.
This water demon tribe lives in the boundless ocean, but it can also change into human form and live on islands. It is born with several water-based magical powers and is the life and death enemy of the demon tribe.
The Water Demon Clan is also a big clan, slightly inferior to the Demon Clan in terms of overall strength, but it should not be underestimated. Moreover, once the Demon Clan and the Water Demon Clan collide, it will be a life-and-death situation, and in the southern bloodline of the Star Sea Region The sea is the border area between the two races. The two races have been fighting each other all year round near the bloodline sea. Because of this, the sea area is always blood red, hence the name.
In addition, the other great enemy of the Monster Clan is located on the Holy Moon Continent. There is no explanation on the map. Xiao Lin only knows that this race is a race that is almost as old as the Monster Clan - the Witch Ghost Clan. .
Due to the existence of the Water Demon Clan, a formidable enemy, several demon clans in all the Star Sea Region would select their elites every ten years to form a demon army and go to the Bloodline Sea to fight against the Water Demon Clan.
And all the affiliated races, as long as they have some combat power, will be recruited in large numbers and go to the Bloodline Sea to act as frontline combat power.
This process has lasted for countless thousands of years.
Only then did Xiao Lin understand that a race as powerful as the Monster Clan also had equal enemies, and in his opinion, any race that could be an enemy of the Monster Clan must also be a very powerful race.
This water demon clan makes Xiao Lin a little curious, but judging from the explanation on the map, this water demon clan is very xenophobic and will never allow foreigners to enter the sea area under their control. Moreover, as long as they see other races, they will take the initiative to attack. Till death.
This also temporarily suppressed Xiao Lin's idea of traveling to the Bloodline Sea. To say that the most dangerous place in the spiritual world, the battlefield where the two clans fought was undoubtedly one of them.
Unless they are top-level monks who have practiced to transcend tribulation or even the Mahayana stage and can come and go freely on the mainland, it is very dangerous for even the immortal cultivators in the integration stage to enter such a battlefield.
After Xiao Lin understood this, he couldn't help but start to meditate. He was thinking about his future practice plan, and at the same time, he was also considering whether he could continue to stay in this star sea area.
After all, he didn't want to be caught as a young man.
But judging from the fact that there are many human races in Baidi Immortal City, it is obvious that the demon tribe will not take the initiative to persecute monks from other races. However, for the sake of safety, Xiao Lin still plans to take time to go to Baidi Immortal City to learn more.
"Huh?"
Xiao Lin's eyes suddenly froze, because he sensed that someone had arrived outside his cave, and this person obviously did not hide his body and aura, but walked in directly.
"Xue Lingshan, the owner of Wuling Island, wants to see fellow Taoist."
Xiao Lin easily sensed the state of the visitor - the late stage of Void Refining?
Xiao Lin frowned slightly. This person's realm was still higher than his own, and Xiao Lin could sense through his spiritual consciousness that this person was not a monster, but a human being like him.
Xiao Lin was a little surprised that he lived in seclusion on Taoyuan Island and did not reveal it to anyone. Moreover, Taoyuan Island was very inconspicuous in this vast sea. How did the other party find him accurately?
However, the visitor is a guest, and Xiao Lin cannot refuse people thousands of miles away.
"Fellow Taoist, come in." With a wave of Xiao Lin's sleeves, the fog in the Hidden Mist Valley suddenly dispersed, and the wooden building where Xiao Lin was located also revealed his whereabouts, and the wooden door slowly followed the sound of "branch". Open.
Soon, a mature woman in her thirties walked in lightly. The woman was wearing a emerald blue robe, with exquisite patterns embroidered on her chest and shoulder collar. She had a beautiful face, fair skin, and her hair was tied up. The cum in the palace reveals a noble ambition.
"Fellow Taoist, please take a seat." Xiao Lin stood up, bowed his hands and bowed, then pointed to the futon opposite and said.
"Thank you."
The woman was not polite and sat down opposite Xiao Lin gracefully.
With a wave of Xiao Lin's sleeves, an exquisite tea table appeared between the two of them, complete with tea sets and tea. Xiao Lin brewed a fragrant tea with his own hands and poured a cup for the woman.
"Fellow Taoist, please taste the spiritual tea collected by Xiao. There is nothing good to entertain you in this barren mountain, so please don't be offended."
"It turns out it's Fellow Daoist Xiao. Lingshan took the liberty to come to visit. Please ask Fellow Daoist Xiao not to take offense."
"Fellow Taoist, there is no need to be polite. It is a blessing to meet people of the same race in this deserted sea." Xiao Lin said with a smile.
"There are not many human Taoist fellows in Baidi Immortal City. Seeing how tight-faced fellow Taoist is, and also being a high-level monk in the Void Refining Stage, it seems that Fellow Daoist Xiao has recently come to the Star Sea Territory, right? "
Xue Lingshan picked up the tea cup and took a sip. Her eyes suddenly lit up and she said twice: "Good tea, good tea."
"Xue Daoyou has a keen eye. It is true that Xiao Lin came to this deserted sea by chance recently. I am ashamed to say that I am still unfamiliar with the deserted sea. I can only live on this small island temporarily and slowly understand it."
"As expected, I don't know where Fellow Daoist Xiao came from. Is he traveling in this deserted sea or planning to live here forever." Xue Lingshan paused before continuing to ask.
"Our human race is in decline and we are at home all over the world. We don't have any concrete plans, but I wonder why Fellow Daoist Xue came here?" Xiao Lin answered Xue Lingshan's question lightly, and instead kicked the ball to her again. .
Hearing this, Xue Lingshan seemed to understand that her friendship was a little deeper, and she smiled slightly awkwardly.
"Don't get me wrong, Fellow Daoist Xiao. Lingshan didn't have any bad intentions here. She just took a quick glance at Baidi Immortal City and found out that Fellow Daoist is also a human being. Then she paid attention and followed behind Fellow Daoist. I hope Fellow Daoist doesn't mind. ”
When Xiao Lin heard this, he did not answer, but he was secretly vigilant in his heart. He was being followed by this woman in Baidi Immortal City, and he was not aware of it at all. This was not good news for him.
After a pause, Xue Lingshan continued: "Lingshan came here for no other purpose. I saw that fellow Taoist seemed to be very interested in various elixirs, so I would like to ask, is fellow Taoist an alchemist?"
When Xiao Lin heard this, he suddenly realized that this must be the reason why this woman came here.
Xiao Lin was not cryptic. He nodded and said, "Xiao does know some alchemy skills, but he only has a superficial understanding of it, not a profound one."
Xue Lingshan's pretty face showed a hint of surprise, which made Xiao Lin a little confused.
"It turns out that fellow Taoist is indeed an alchemist. Our Xiaodan Mountain can be regarded as the Holy Land of Spiritual Pills in the entire Desolate Sea. Many big business firms are cooperating with us. At the same time, Xiaodan Mountain is also full of human monks. , Lingshan, on behalf of Xiaodanshan, sincerely invites fellow Taoists to join?”
"Xiao Danshan?"
"Yes, our Xiaodan Mountain occupies an island in the deserted sea. The island is called Yudan. Xiaodan Mountain is considered a sect, but it only recruits us human monks. In the sect, everyone can exchange alchemy knowledge with each other. At the same time, we can also communicate with each other, and we can keep warm in this alien foreign land. "
Having said this, Xiao Lin naturally understood that this Xiaodanshan is a human organization in this deserted sea. It uses the Dandao as the foundation of its sect, which is similar to the Dancao Mountain that Xiao Lin stayed in the ordinary world. .
However, Xiaodanshan is not a pure sect, but is between a sect and a trading house. It cooperates with major trading houses, and naturally uses this to increase its own influence, so as not to become a thorn in the side of the demon clan. thus being cleared.
It seemed that he must have been noticed by her when he was looking for elixirs in major trading houses.
"Xiao is used to being lazy, and he also likes the feeling of freedom. I'm afraid he has no choice but to decline the kindness of his Taoist friends." After thinking for a moment, Xiao Lin replied.
