Chapter 763: Sneaking into the island and buying and selling array plates
Song Qingming didn't care too much about whether Chen Shutian could help him, as long as the other party could help him find the target on the scroll.
Like Song Yuanli, Chen Shutian is also a monk who has just formed the elixir for a short period of time. Her cultivation is at the peak of the second level of the golden elixir. Even if she wants to help, it is difficult for her to intervene in the battle of late golden elixir masters like Song Qingming and others.
"Brother Song can be so confident, so I don't have much else to do. I'll personally take you to Fenglei Island in a few days."
Seeing that Song Qingming was quite confident about this matter in his words, Feng He nodded with some relief.
After Chen Shutian reported the news to Feng He, she quickly left Fangshi.
In the next few days, Feng He told Song Qingming all the information he knew about "Wind and Thunder Island" and the ancient secret realm, and gave him a magic weapon that he carefully refined to provide Song Qingming with the next step. Get ready to blend into the secret realm.
When Feng He was still in the Golden Core realm in his previous life, he had entered the secret realm twice and harvested many spiritual objects there, so he knew the situation in the secret realm very well.
In addition to the "Thunder Infant Fruit" that helped him successfully conceive a baby, he also found the "Soul-Eating Art" technique that Feng He gave to Song Qingming in this ancient secret realm.
After several days of careful preparation, Feng He took Song Qingming and set off for the "Wind and Thunder Island" thousands of miles away.
After sending Song Qingming several hundred miles away from the island, Fenghe stopped, turned to Song Qingming and said:
"Brother Song, some of those Yuanying old ghosts may have arrived on the island at this time. They may notice you if you approach them rashly, so I will see them off not far from here.
Don't worry, brother, all the major sects made an agreement back then. No matter who has any grudges or grudges, it is impossible to fight anyone on Fenglei Island. You can just go with peace of mind. "
"Senior, take care of me!"
After hearing Feng He's instructions, Song Qingming responded calmly, then took out the "Phantom Boat" and turned it into a ray of light, leaving the place directly.
Hundreds of miles away, there is an island about dozens of miles long and wide, covered with dense woods.
There is no spiritual energy coming out of this island. It looks like a desolate island with no human habitation. However, the entire island is now completely covered by an invisible light shield.
After a while, three rays of light suddenly flew from the northeast of the island and stopped directly over the island. The figures of the three monks soon appeared.
These three people stepped on the void, and their bodies still exuded a faint spiritual light. They were all accomplished golden elixir monks.
The leader of the three was a young woman in white. After glancing at the island below, a smile slowly appeared on the face of the woman in white.
"Mr. Qi, this should be Fenglei Island, right?"
A somewhat hunchbacked old man standing behind the woman in white immediately replied with a hint of respect after hearing the other party's inquiry: "Junior Sister Long is right, this is Fenglei Island.
Two hundred years ago, when I first formed an elixir, I was lucky enough to come here while traveling nearby. Unfortunately, my cultivation level was not high at that time, and I didn't find anything good after entering the secret realm. "
"Well! Well, let's go down and take a look first." After the woman in white finished speaking, she fell directly to the bottom of the island.
The hunchbacked old man and another woman in black clothes who had been following her looked at each other and quickly followed her. The three of them soon arrived in front of the island formation.
After arriving here, the hunchbacked old man immediately took out a transmission note, whispered to himself, and sent it directly into the formation.
After a while, a transparent vortex suddenly appeared in the formation, slowly forming a circular hole more than one foot wide.
When the three of them saw this, they immediately flew into the formation, and the vortex that had just appeared immediately returned to its normal appearance.
After the three women in white disappeared, it didn't take long for several rays of light to fly from the sky one after another, all destined for this deserted island with no spirit.
Among these people, there are golden elixir masters who are as accomplished as the three women in white, as well as foundation-building monks who come with flying swords.
But regardless of their level of cultivation, as long as they sent the transmission notes into the formation, they would be allowed to enter the island. However, in less than an hour, five or six waves of monks arrived here smoothly.
In mid-air, more than ten miles away from the island, three foundation-building monks were working hard on their way to the island not far ahead.
The three of them were originally traveling together. In order to save some energy, they did not fly separately with their swords. Instead, they boarded a small second-level airship together and took turns casting spells to propel the airship forward.
Seeing the island not far ahead, a look of joy appeared on the faces of the three of them.
"Fellow Taoists, ahead is Fenglei Island, we will be there soon."
After hearing what the companion who was controlling the flying boat said, a middle-aged man standing behind the flying boat immediately smiled and nodded in response: "I thought this island was located in the sea, and we might encounter monsters on the road.
I didn't expect that this trip would go so smoothly. We didn't even encounter the shadow of a monster. We were really lucky! "
"Haha! My fellow Taoists don't know that when the secret realm of Fenglei Island is opened, even the ancestors of Nascent Soul will be present. No matter how rampant the monsters in the sea are, they will not dare to get close at this time.
Before I waited here, those major sects should have sent people to clean up the surroundings. Otherwise, if so many monks came, if something happened on the way, they would not be in big trouble. "
"What Daoyou Du said is right. This secret realm is jointly controlled by the major Yuanying sects. Every time we enter and leave, we have to collect hundreds of thousands of spirit stones. If they can't guarantee this little bit of safety, who would dare to come here to join in the fun next time?"
"My friends, excuse me, is this Fenglei Island?"
Just as the three people on the flying boat were looking at the island in front and talking, a voice suddenly sounded behind them, which made them look surprised.
The three turned around and found that a white flying boat suddenly appeared more than ten feet behind the flying boat. On it, an ordinary-looking man in green was looking at them with a smile.
Although the man in green looked very young, the aura he exuded made them unable to see through him at a glance. They immediately realized that the person who came was a Jindan senior with a high level of cultivation, and they hurriedly bowed to him.
"Juniors Du Fangling, Zhan Feng, and Wang Bailin greet the senior. What the senior said just now is correct. The front is the Fenglei Island. May I ask if you are also here to explore the secret realm?"
After the three of them saluted, one of them, a late-stage foundation-building cultivator named Du Fangling, quickly answered Song Qingming's question.
Song Qingming nodded slightly and said, "I am not a local cultivator, but I came from the East China Sea. I heard that there is a secret realm here, so I was a little curious and came to see it."
"Oh! So the senior came from the East China Sea Xiuxian World. No wonder you have never been to Fenglei Island. The juniors also want to try their luck in the secret realm like the senior.
If the senior doesn't mind, the juniors are willing to lead you the way and introduce you to the news of this secret realm, so that the senior will be more convenient next time."
When he heard that Song Qingming was a Jindan cultivator from another place, Du Fangling's face suddenly showed a trace of excitement. He took the initiative to lead the way for him, hoping to get closer to the strange senior in front of him.
In the world of immortal cultivation, if there is a difference of one major realm between cultivators, their status will be very different.
However, for casual cultivators like them with ordinary backgrounds and only foundation-building realm cultivation, it is difficult for them to get close to a Jindan cultivator.
Seeing that Song Qingming spoke very kindly and did not look down on them right away, which was obviously different from other Jindan cultivators who liked to be superior, Du Fangling also had a little courage to get close to him.
After all, there are not many opportunities to deal with Jindan cultivators. If they are lucky enough to get some advice from him, it can be regarded as an opportunity for them.
Seeing that the three people were trying to please him, Song Qingming was silent for a moment, and then he nodded without refusing:
"I came here for the first time after hearing the news, and I don't know much about this secret realm. Since you are willing to help, I will trouble you!"
"No trouble! It is a great honor for us to help the seniors, so how dare we say trouble."
After the three people nodded and bowed for a few words, they took Song Qingming to the outside of the island formation.
Before Song Qingming asked, Du Fangling took out a sound transmission note and threw it in. Soon the formation opened a passage for the four of them to walk in together.
Just after passing through the mountain protection formation, two foundation-building monks in gray Taoist robes came towards them.
When the two saw Du Fangling and the other two leading the way, they immediately stopped them with their hands and said with a very arrogant look: "Every cultivator entering the island needs to hand in 20 spirit stones!"
"I thought you only need to hand in spirit stones when you enter the secret realm, why do you need to hand in spirit stones just after you get on the island!"
When Zhan Feng, the younger of the three, heard that they had to hand in spirit stones, he couldn't help but muttered softly.
However, although they were a little unhappy, 20 spirit stones were not too much for foundation-building cultivators like them, so the three of them took out spirit stones and handed them over.
Song Qingming, who was standing behind, saw this and waved his hand to take out 20 spirit stones and handed them over.
But the two cultivators who collected the spirit stones did not accept his spirit stones after seeing Song Qingming. Instead, they smiled and bowed to him and said:
"We were not able to see it just now. Senior is a Jindan cultivator. You don't need to hand in the spirit stones when you enter the island."
"Oh! Then do they not need to hand in the spirit stones when they come with you?" Seeing that their faces changed so quickly, Song Qingming asked again with some doubt.
The two who heard Song Qingming's meaning hurriedly returned the spirit stones in their hands to Du Fangling and the other two, smiling and saying: "Since they are traveling with you, of course you don't need to collect the spirit stones. I misunderstood you just now."
Seeing that the spirit stones they had just given out were returned, Du Fangling and the other two immediately showed a hint of joy on their faces. They quickly took them happily, and then respectfully took Song Qingming to the island.
Although there is still about a month before the secret realm opens, many cultivators who come here have gathered on "Fenglei Island".
Song Qingming and his companions walked forward for a short distance and soon arrived at a small town that was built temporarily.
This place looked very similar to the small market that Song Qingming had seen outside, but the things sold by the shops were obviously much higher-level, and most of them were spiritual objects of the second grade or above.
Even the third-level spiritual objects that were rarely seen in normal times could be seen here, but the prices of these high-level spiritual objects were about 20% to 30% more expensive than those in the market outside.
The shops selling these spiritual objects were obviously well prepared. They knew that the cultivators who came to "Fenglei Island" to explore the secret realm would need these spiritual objects, so they raised the prices uniformly and took this opportunity to make a fortune.
As a Jindan cultivator who had practiced for many years, Song Qingming naturally understood this. In order not to waste too many spiritual stones here, Song Qingming had already prepared all the spiritual objects he needed before leaving.
"Senior, I just went to inquire. There are no caves to rent on the island now. There are only some tents in the west. It only costs ten spiritual stones to rent one.
These people think that we foundation-building cultivators are indifferent, and what they say may not be true. Senior, do you want to ask again? Maybe they still have caves left."
After several people came to the market, Du Fangling obtained Song Qingming's consent and went to the cultivator who managed the island to inquire about renting caves.
Unexpectedly, more and more cultivators came to the island now. The caves originally opened on the mountain were full. The cultivators who arrived late could only rent those temporary tents in the open space west of the market.
These tents were not protected by magic arrays, and it was difficult to isolate the spiritual sense exploration of high-level cultivators. Generally, high-level cultivators like Song Qingming would definitely find it difficult to accept.
Du Fangling was afraid that his incompetence would make Song Qingming unhappy, so he asked carefully again.
Hearing Du Fangling's suggestion, Song Qingming didn't care too much, and shook his head directly and said: "It doesn't matter, anyway, it's only a few days away from the opening of the secret realm, you can just go and rent a tent for me."
After that, Song Qingming took out the spirit stone and a note with his name card, and handed it directly to Du Fangling. Several people soon came to the west of the market together.
Although it was Song Qingming's first time to come to the "Tianhai Xiuxian Realm", he didn't have any acquaintances here.
However, the opening of the ancient secret realm of "Fenglei Island" not only attracted the surrounding cultivators, but also some cultivators from the nearby East China Sea Xiuxian World came here after hearing the news. Among them, there were also Jindan cultivators that Song Qingming had heard of when he traveled in the East China Sea.
The reason why Song Qingming chose to travel with Du Fangling and others was that he wanted to use them to hide his true identity and try not to attract the attention of those around him.
It has been confirmed that there will be Yuanying cultivators coming to this island. It is basically impossible to cover up your identity in front of these old monsters by relying on skills and external objects. Therefore, Song Qingming did not deliberately cover his face when entering the island.
It was just that when registering his identity, he did not use his real name, but borrowed the name of his corpse puppet "Jinfeng" and claimed that he was a Jindan cultivator from the East China Sea Xiuxian World.
The East China Sea Xiuxian World is far more vast than the Floating Cloud Mountains and the Tianhai Xiuxian World. There are many scattered cultivators in it, even those with Jindan late stage cultivation like Song Qingming are not rare.
As long as Song Qingming keeps a low profile, the other party will definitely not be able to detect his abnormal identity in a short period of time. This is also the best way for him to hide his identity at present.
After living in his tent, Song Qingming began to meditate in seclusion. Except for occasionally dealing with Du Fangling and the other two who came to visit, he did not step out of the tent for a whole half month.
In the past half month, Du Fangling and the other two visited Song Qingming several times. In addition to reporting the news they heard from the outside on time, they were also fortunate to receive personal guidance from Song Qingming, a Jindan cultivator, which benefited them a lot in their cultivation.
The three of them are foundation-building cultivators from a small country nearby. Du Fangling, who has the highest cultivation, has broken through to the seventh level of foundation building. Zhan Feng and Wang Bailin have lower cultivation levels, only the fourth and fifth levels of foundation building.
Du Fangling and Song Qingming are also from a family of cultivators, and the other two are friends who have known each other for many years. They came to "Fenglei Island" together this time, and they also wanted to enter the secret realm to search for spiritual objects and try their luck.
After all, for these ordinary foundation-building cultivators, this is a rare opportunity that only comes once in a hundred years. Even though they know that the secret realm is very dangerous, it still cannot stop their determination to find spiritual objects.
After half a month, as the time for the opening of the ancient secret realm is getting closer, more and more cultivators come to the island, making the entire "Fenglei Island" more and more lively.
According to the information collected by Du Fangling and others, there are already more than 2,000 cultivators who have come to the island to explore the ancient secret realm, all of whom are above the foundation-building level, and there are no less than 100 Jindan cultivators like Song Qingming.
This is just the casual cultivators who came from afar like them, and does not include the disciples of the big sects who have not yet appeared. It is estimated that the number of cultivators may double again when the secret realm is opened.
Hearing that there are so many cultivators coming this time, Song Qingming was a little surprised for a while.
Although he knew that this kind of secret realm open to all cultivators would have many foundation-building cultivators like Du Fangling and others come to try their luck.
However, being able to attract so many cultivators to the island at once shows that the major sects in charge of the opening of the secret realm must have spent a lot of effort on this matter before this.
Seeing that he had been on the island for more than half a month and there was no abnormal situation, Song Qingming, who confirmed that the other party did not doubt his identity, was a little relieved.
Taking advantage of the fact that there were still a few days before the secret realm was opened, Song Qingming took the initiative to walk out of the retreat tent and wandered around in the market.
Although the market on "Fenglei Island" is small, because the spiritual objects sold here are of relatively high quality, Song Qingming only walked a small circle along the street and saw a lot of rare things he had never seen before.
These are basically the unique spiritual objects of the "Tianhai Immortal Realm". This is the first time Song Qingming has come here, and he is also very curious about it. From time to time, he will take the initiative to stop and pay attention.
However, although these things were novel, most of them were of little use to him, a late-stage Jindan cultivator. Song Qingming basically just asked about them and rarely inquired about the price.
After walking along the streets of Fangshi for a while, Song Qingming suddenly saw several array disks placed outside a shop in front of him, and walked over curiously.
"Seller, how do you sell this array?"
The owner of this shop is just a foundation-building monk. When he sees customers coming to the door, he hurriedly greets them with a smile.
"Senior, this senior has good eyesight. My formation disks are all made by famous experts. Even though the quality is only second-grade high-grade, if it is matched with the third-grade formation flag, its power will not be much worse than that of the third-grade formation." !
If you like it, you only need three thousand spiritual stones to take it. "
Hearing the price quoted by the shop owner, Song Qingming gently shook his head and said: "If you have already configured the formation flag, three thousand spirit stones are not expensive, but you charge such a high price just for the formation flag. It’s a bit too high.”
"Haha! Seniors also know that every time you go in and out of this island, you have to collect spirit stones. We can set up stalls here and pay a lot of spirit stones to them. Otherwise, the things we sell will not be so much more expensive than outside. Please be considerate, senior."
"I've been here for more than a day or two. You don't need to say more about these things. I naturally understand them all.
To be honest, the reason why I am interested in your formation disk is not because it is useful for me to enter the secret realm next, but because I am a third-level formation master and am somewhat interested in it.
I can offer six thousand spiritual stones for these three arrays. If you agree, I will take them all. "Seeing that the shop owner started to complain to him, Song Qingming's face remained unmoved, and he immediately cut the price of the array plate by 30%.
Hearing this, the shop owner showed a bit of hesitation on his face, but it didn't take long before he made up his mind and nodded in agreement.
These formation boards were originally configured with formation flags, but a few days ago I met a customer who only wanted formation flags. Seeing that the secret realm was only open for a few days, the boss was tempted to dismantle the formation flags and price them separately. Sold to the other party.
He originally thought that no one would be interested in the remaining formations, but he didn't expect that in the last few days, he would actually meet someone who was interested in them.
Anyway, the originally dismantled formation flag was sold at a high price, which helped him earn a lot of spiritual stones.
The remaining array disks cannot be sold for a while. After leaving here, they will be sold at low prices in other markets. Seeing that the price given by Song Qingming is reasonable, I might as well sell it to him. .
"You click on these spiritual stones. If there are no problems, I will take away the array disk."
Seeing that the other party agreed, Song Qingming quickly took out a bag of spirit stones from the storage bag and threw it directly to the shop owner, preparing to put away the array disk in his hand.
But just when the deal was about to be concluded, a soft voice suddenly appeared not far away, interrupting the two people who were buying and selling.
"Fellow Taoist, I am also interested in this formation. I wonder if you can give me a piece?" (End of Chapter)
