Chapter 151 Old Friend
Another month later, Chen Lin came to the beach.
After this period of travel and exploration, he found that the Qishen Sect was gaining momentum. There were followers of the Qishen Sect not only in the original Korean area, but also in the surrounding Chu Kingdom, Yan Kingdom, Che Qi Kingdom, etc. exist.
Disputes and wars continue everywhere.
Under such an environment, it is impossible to find a safe place to practice, and there is a possibility of getting involved in the vortex of trouble at any time.
You can't live peacefully if you want to rely on a certain general force or practice in a gathering place for casual cultivators. The God of Prayer Sect is almost pervasive. The war has led to an increase in the number of evil cultivators. There is danger everywhere.
In just one month, he encountered several ambushes.
I even once met an evil cultivator who had perfected his qi training. Fortunately, he had been using the breath-condensing technique to hide his cultivation in the middle stage of qi training, catching the enemy by surprise, and using the body refining technique to get close Fight in person and kill the opponent.
So after careful consideration, he finally decided to come to Wuding Sea.
There is a large sect here that rents out islands. He wanted to see if he could find a remote island to practice.
If it was not peaceful here, he would simply bypass these chaotic countries by sea and head to the country south of the Duanmeng Mountains.
Standing on the beach, Chen Lin blew the sea breeze from another world and admired the scenery on the sea.
But I felt very helpless.
He just wanted a stable cultivation environment, but such a small wish could never be achieved.
You don’t care about others, but others care about you.
No matter how careful you are, you will always run into trouble inadvertently. Such a world of immortality is really speechless.
Sighing with emotion, life must go on. Chen Lin stopped a fishing boat, asked for its direction, and then flew to the sea.
On this entire coastline, there are three large sects, each of which is in charge of a large area of offshore waters.
Facing the coast of Chu State is the Xuanyin Sect. There are two Jindan in the sect, and one of them is in the late stage of Jindan and is extremely powerful. The sect's location is called Xuanyin Island. It is said that the island is very large, and the entire island is a high-grade spiritual vein.
However, because of the incident in Heishuize, it is naturally impossible for Chen Lin to go to the Xuanyin Sect's sphere of influence. That would be a self-inflicted trap.
The sea area facing Che Qiguo is somewhat special. It is occupied by a special race called the Ziguang Tribe. It is very mysterious and exclusive. Most monks are not willing to go there to hunt sea beasts.
The sea area where he is located belongs to the Sea King Sect.
The Sea King Sect is also a large sect. There are two golden elixirs in the sect. Their strength is comparable to that of the Xuanyin Sect. However, unlike the Xuanyin Sect, the core disciples of the Sea King Sect are all majoring in water attribute skills. Fa almost never goes ashore and has little interaction with all the forces on the road.
Chen Lin thought about the situation here and flew all the way to the nearest island.
He found that it was quite lively, and it actually formed a simple small market.
Monks are constantly landing on the island, mostly Qi-training cultivators, but occasionally foundation-building cultivators will appear.
Chen Lin's appearance at the moment is that of an ordinary and honest young man, the kind who will be forgotten when he turns his head. His cultivation is also disguised as being in the middle stage of Qi training. He is wearing a worn-out robe and looks poor. .
“Fellow Taoist is going to hunt monsters, how about forming a team together?”
As soon as he fell down, three monks in the middle stage of Qi training came up, two men and one woman. , submitted a team application to him.
Chen Lin was stunned for a moment, then politely refused: "I have something else to do, and I have no plans to enter the sea for the time being."
When the three of them saw this, they did not continue to persuade them and went to find other people.
Then, two more groups of people approached, both wanting to form a team.
After Chen Lin refused, he felt that he was quite popular. He laughed at himself and started to tour on the road.
This is a transit island, and people keep coming and leaving. Suddenly, Chen Lin looked at a woman setting up a stall in the distance in surprise, with a strange look on her face.
This woman was actually Xu Ruolan, whom he had met twice in Kaiyuan City!
I didn't expect that the other party also ran away from Kaiyuan City, and it was incredible to meet him in such a far away place.
Chen Lin immediately withdrew his gaze and had no intention of stepping forward to recognize him. With his current transformation, it is impossible for the other party to recognize him, and since the other party identified his identity by smell in Kaiyuan City, he would wear a different sachet every time he changed his identity to make up for this loophole.
Sure enough, he deliberately walked past the other party's booth, but the other party did not react.
After a small episode, Chen Lin immediately stopped paying attention, inquired about it, and came to a tall building.
This is the reception area of the Neptune Sect on the island.
Although the Neptune Sect monks have little contact with mainland forces, they cannot stop the land monks from going to the sea to hunt monsters.
The sea resources are rich and cannot be monopolized by just one or two sects. If he does this, he will be beaten by the sects on land.
No matter the Sea King Sect, Xuanyin Sect or Ziguang Clan, they only stick to the core location of the station. Other sea areas are free and open, and the jurisdiction is only nominally divided.
“Fellow Taoist want to rent an island?”
When the person in charge heard Chen Lin's intention, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Island leasing is a big income for the Neptune Sect. The main function of setting up a reception office on a seaside island is to receive the monks who rent the island. He will get a commission for every one rented out.
But when the manager discovered Chen Lin’s cultivation level in the middle stage of Qi training, his attitude suddenly became much colder.
“Here is the distribution map of the islands. Everything marked with red dots has been rented out. Fellow Taoist, please take a look at it yourself first!”
A monk in the middle stage of Qi training must rent I couldn't afford those high-quality islands that were expensive and didn't have much oil and water. The steward threw a chart and ignored it.
Chen Lin didn't care, picked up the chart and looked at it slowly.
There are many islands densely marked on the map. Each island is numbered, but more than half of them are marked with red dots.
Especially close to the headquarters of the Neptune Sect, the islands around Neptune Island have almost no free space. The closer to the outer edge, the more free space there is.
"This is an introduction brochure. If you really want to rent, first take a look at the conditions and prices."
Seeing that Chen Lin was looking at it seriously, it seemed that he really wanted to rent, so the manager hesitated. He took a pamphlet and placed it in front of Chen Lin.
Chen Lin nodded and thanked him, then started reading.
According to the introduction in the book, all leased islands are divided into five levels. Depending on the level, the treatment is different.
Those with high levels are not only equipped with various formations, but are also protected by the Neptune Sect. If they are in danger, they can send messages to the Neptune Sect for help through the formations.
The sect will also send people to regularly patrol the surrounding sea areas. If there are powerful monsters that invade, they will be killed.
Low-level people do not have such treatment, and most of them are located in the periphery. The sect is only responsible for collecting spiritual stones and does not care about anything else.
Of course, the price is also much cheaper.
The book records the situation of each idle island, as well as the rental price.
Chen Lin grinned after seeing it. Even the cheapest level five island requires two high-grade spiritual stones every year!
This price is much more expensive than the cave in Danding City.
But on second thought, the two are not comparable.
The island has a large area, and you can grow some spiritual crops, or raise spiritual animals, etc., which can increase your income, and it can be shared by many people. The Neptune Sect has no restrictions on this, even if you do business on it.
Even some large islands can accommodate a small family of cultivators.
The disadvantage is that the islands on the fourth and fifth levels are not protected by the Neptune Sect, so they take their own safety.
But for islands above level three, because of the security of the Neptune Sect, the price has skyrocketed. Chen Lin shook his head secretly.
I can’t afford to rent, but I don’t dare to rent even if I can afford it, because it attracts too much attention.
