Chapter 152 Xiaoqiu Island
“Is this island still empty?”
After browsing and comparing for a while, Chen Linyuan pointed to a third-level island and asked the steward.
This island is small in area and slightly close to the edge, but the price is still barely affordable, with four high-grade spiritual stones per year.
This is already the cheapest among the third-level caves, so there are no extra choices.
Except for this, they all cost seven to eight yuan, or more than ten yuan. Even if he could come up with so many spiritual stones, he would not dare to choose.
Even so, it makes those in charge look askance.
It is very rare for a monk in the middle stage of Qi training to be able to rent an island with four high-grade spiritual stones.
Seeing this, Chen Lin immediately released the breath-holding technique, revealing his late stage Qi training, and then pretended to be embarrassed and said: "I'm sorry, it's time for the masking talisman, but the island you have here is real. It’s too expensive, but luckily we can share it, otherwise I don’t think we can rent it out at all.”
The manager didn’t have any doubts when he heard this.
Eight out of ten monks who go to sea use concealment techniques to conceal their cultivation, and it is also common to share islands as a base for hunting monsters.
He smiled and said: "It doesn't matter. Only by being careful can you live a long life. If you want to buy a concealing magic weapon, you can go to Zongmenfang City to have a look. It is located on Xuanyuan Island."< br>
While talking about taking care of things, I took it He took a look at the map and said, "Oh, Fellow Taoist is interested in Xiaoqiu Island. This has not been rented out yet. How long will Fellow Daoist need it for?"
"Let's rent it for a year first. We will see the situation then. Let’s talk.”
Chen Lin said casually.
The steward nodded, took out a jade slip and said: "Here is a simplified map of the nearby sea area, which is a gift for renting the island. Also, let me remind you that there are a lot of cuttlefish near Xiaoqiu Island. You can buy fishing equipment and place them around the island. , the annual fishing harvest can be sold for about a piece of high-grade spiritual stone."
Chen Lin was stunned and hurriedly thanked him.
In this case, the rent is equivalent to three high-grade spiritual stones, but it will take a little more effort.
In fact, with his alchemy ability, there is no need to do this at all. He can refine two more marrow-cleansing pills, but the appearance must be done to avoid arousing suspicion.
After confirming the lease, someone took Chen Lin to an island further out.
After handing over the spirit stone here and completing the formalities, he was taken to a small island shrouded in thick fog.
"Fellow Taoist, this is Xiaoqiu Island. The rental token is the key to controlling the formations on the island. I wish you, fellow Taoist, to improve your cultivation and gain something every time you go to sea. Goodbye!"
< br>The young man who led the way was an outer disciple of the Sea King Sect. After bringing Chen Lin there, he cupped his fists and turned into a flying light and walked away.
Chen Lin also inspired the token with a look of expectation, and saw the thick fog rolling for a while and then disappearing, revealing the full picture inside.
After driving the shuttle around the island, he nodded with satisfaction.
The rent is a bit expensive, but the environment on the island is good, the spiritual energy is sufficient, there are ready-made buildings, and even a small spiritual field has been opened, but the spiritual crops grown in it have been harvested.
The area of the island is indeed small, but it is very flat, with many flowers, plants and trees planted, just like a small garden.
Chen Lin immediately fell in love with this place and decided to stay for a while to check it out. If it was safe and secure, he would stay there until he was promoted to the foundation building period.
Although the manager said that it had been cleaned up after the previous tenant left, Chen Lin still took the sensor talisman and checked it inside and out.
Including the bottom of the surrounding sea and the ground under the island, after confirming that there were no problems, he activated the formation and drove the shuttle straight to Xuanyuan Island.
I changed my appearance midway and flew according to the map for a long time before arriving at the location.
As soon as he arrived on the island, he felt the prosperity, which was no less than that of Danding City, or even worse.
However, unlike Danding City, the main products sold here are materials for monsters from the sea, both living and dead, and there are all kinds of them, which greatly opened his eyes.
“What is this?”
Chen Lin walked to a stall and picked up a large, semi-transparent shrimp and asked curiously. "Haha, fellow Taoist, you are new to the sea. You don't even know the crystal shrimp. This thing tastes delicious. Do you want to try some?"
The stall owner is a bold and powerful man, and his cultivation is in the late stage of Qi training.
Chen Lin previously concealed his cultivation in the middle stage of Qi training, but later found that there were too few monks in the middle stage of Qi training here, so he concealed his cultivation in the seventh level of Qi training.
“Okay, let’s try some!”
Having just moved into a new house, Chen Lin also planned to celebrate. Not only did he buy crystal shrimp, he also bought several kinds of monster ingredients.
Then he left the stall and browsed in the store.
Soon, his pocket became empty, but with joy on his face, he flew back to his island with the light.
Going back and forth, Chen Lin encountered several patrol teams wearing the costumes of Neptune Sect disciples, which made him very satisfied. Fortunately, he rented a third-level cave. Compared with Lingshi, safety is the most important thing. important.
Back on the island, I first made a seafood dinner. After a delicious meal, I took out two sets of formation equipment.
I just bought a set in Fangshi, called the Small Five Elements Defense Array. It is said that it can withstand the attacks of the monks in the early stage of foundation building, and can also resist for a while in the middle and late stages of foundation building, which is enough for him to send a signal to the Sea King Sect for help. .
The effect is great, and the price is naturally not cheap. It uses five high-grade spiritual stones!
However, this formation equipment is movable and can be taken away if it is no longer rented. Even so, it made him feel heartbroken.
Chen Lin has long wanted to learn the art of formation, but it is rare to inherit it, and the formation is extremely mysterious and cannot be thoroughly studied overnight. Even if he has the talent and ability, he does not dare to dabble in it easily. It is too wasteful. time.
The top priority is to break through the foundation as soon as possible, and everything else must be put aside.
In the path of spiritual practice, cultivation is the most important thing, and you cannot put the cart before the horse.
Even with the ready-made formation equipment, it took Chen Lin three days to complete the formation.
After testing it, the defense is indeed amazing. Anyway, he couldn't break it with the spiritual weapon Splitting Mountain Seal.
And the beauty of the Small Five Elements Formation is that it can use underground spiritual veins as power without consuming spiritual stones. This is why he gritted his teeth and wanted to buy it.
With this formation, coupled with the original formation on the island, there is no need to worry about someone breaking into the island.
Then, Chen Lin began to arrange the second formation.
This is a trapping formation with the function of isolating sound and energy fluctuations. It was obtained from the trophies of the three girls of Jinfeng Tower.
Thinking of these three women, Chen Lin couldn't help but have a strange look on his face.
There are basically no treasures in the storage bags of the three people. They are all spiritual stones. Together, there are ten high-grade spiritual stones!
He spent two or three years in Jinfeng Tower, but he probably didn’t use so many spiritual stones, and now they are all back.
I don’t know what to say to him. I can only sigh that a beautiful woman like you can’t be a thief.
After sighing for a while, he began to set up his formation.
This is simple, just place the formation plate and formation flag in a fixed location. Because the formation's coverage range is limited, they are placed around the building intended to be used for practice.
This formation is mainly used to isolate the sound caused by refining thunder beads and other magic weapons. Because it needs to be activated by spiritual stones, he cannot keep the formation running all the time.
The formation is set up.
Chen Lin admired the results with satisfaction and inspected the island again.
Finally, several equipment for catching cuttlefish were placed in the surrounding seawater, and they began to refine elixirs in preparation for retreat.
