Hearing the sound, Song Qingming and the shop owner turned around quickly and found that three more people were walking towards the stall.
The three of them are Golden Elixir cultivators like Song Qingming. The person walking in front and speaking is a woman in black with a somewhat charming face. Her cultivation level has reached the seventh level of the Golden Elixir. Every move she makes when she walks is faintly visible. It exudes a heart-thrilling charm.
Song Qingming just glanced at the other party, and immediately felt an inexplicable restlessness in his heart. Feeling that something was wrong, he immediately activated the "Soul-Eating Art" in his body, and slowly calmed down the restlessness in his heart. .
The shopkeeper next to him, who only had the cultivation level of the Foundation Establishment stage, was staring blankly at the woman in black, with a trace of obsession gradually beginning to show on his face.
“What a profound art of enchantment!”
After practicing Taoism for so many years, Song Qingming has also met some monks who are good at practicing the way of charm. However, the woman in black is obviously better at this way than other people Song Qingming has met before.
Fortunately, after practicing the "Soul-Eating Art" for many years, Song Qingming's spiritual consciousness has already surpassed that of ordinary monks of the same level. Facing the woman in black's very confident charm technique, he was somewhat affected. But he soon recovered with a clear face.
"I have already bid for this array. It is not a rare thing. If you want a second-level high-grade magic circle, you can go to other places to have a look. I think it should not be difficult. "I found it."
After Song Qingming turned his eyes, he responded to the other party with a hint of magic in his voice that knocked back the woman's charm. The shopkeeper standing next to him finally woke up. Come over.
Knowing that the woman in black had just used the charm technique on him, the store owner looked at him a little unhappy and explained directly:
"Senior, martial arts fighting between monks is prohibited on Fenglei Island. Please don't embarrass me. The shop has sold all of this to this senior. If you want, you can discuss it with him."
Usually, this formation plate has been placed on the stall for half a month, and few people have taken a second look. Today, it is also strange. There are actually golden elixir monks who want to fight for this object.
It’s just that the two people in front of him are Jindan monks whose cultivation is difficult for him to understand. The shop owner doesn’t want to offend them easily, so he can only try to find a way to put himself aside and let them discuss the matter on their own.
Hearing Song Qingming's rejection, a look of surprise instantly appeared on the face of the woman in black.
She was not surprised because Song Qingming rejected her, but seeing Song Qingming break her charm so quickly made the woman in black unbelievable for a moment, and she could not help but frown slightly.
Not only the woman in black, but also a hunchbacked old man and a woman in white standing not far behind him, both of them also had surprised looks on their faces, and there was something more meaningful in their eyes when they looked at Song Qingming. meaning.
Hearing that the store owner had no objection to the transaction, Song Qingming put away the array plate in his hand, ignored the woman in black in front of him, and turned around to leave the stall.
After Song Qingming left, the woman in white who was standing aside walked over to the woman in black with a smile on her face and asked: "What's wrong with the array just now? Why, senior sister?" Want this thing suddenly?"
"That formation? The plate is mixed with some high-level mysterious crystals. If this object is refined into the natal magic weapon, it can enhance the magic weapon's ability to resist fire-attribute spells.
That's when I realized that the person just now should also be a high-level array mage. Understand the mystery inside the array
This is not a very expensive thing, it's just a pity that he picked up this bargain a step too late. "
The woman in black just finished speaking. The hunchbacked old man on the side looked at the direction Song Qingming left and said with a bit of curiosity:
"This person's spiritual consciousness is not inferior to me. , I didn’t expect him to be a high-level formation master. This Fenglei Island is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and it’s a little more interesting than the last time I came here. ”
“Oh! This person's spiritual consciousness is actually not inferior to that of Mr. Qi. No wonder he was able to crack my charm so quickly. He was indeed a little reckless just now. You need to be more careful next time you meet this person. ”
The hunchbacked old man known as Mr. Qi is a monk whose cultivation has reached the peak of Jindan. Not long ago, he also tried to break through the Nascent Soul realm. His spiritual consciousness is far from ordinary Jindan. Monk Dan is comparable.
Hearing the hunchbacked old man praising Song Qingming for not being inferior to him, the woman in black still had a hint of surprise on her face, although she had expected it.
"Since it's not something important, I think let's forget it. I'm a little tired after walking around for so long today. Let's go back first!"
After finishing speaking, the woman in white turned around. After leaving the place, the hunchbacked old man and the woman in black didn't say much when they saw this, and quickly followed the woman in white.
When the three women in white spoke just now, they all communicated directly and privately. The shop owner standing aside did not hear what they were talking about.
When the three of them left, the woman in white walking in front was obviously not as good as the other two, but the other two always maintained a certain respect for following her, which made He couldn't help but look at it a few more times out of curiosity.
After buying those array disks, he was still a little worried that those people might be targeting him. Song Qingming had no intention of continuing to wander around, and immediately returned to the tent where he lived.
When he just purchased the formation plate, Song Qingming also noticed that the other three people had a certain background and did not look like ordinary casual cultivators from outside.
Especially the hunchbacked old man, whose cultivation has reached the peak of the golden elixir. Even Song Qingming couldn't see through his strength. If it weren't for the importance of this array to him, Song Qingming wouldn't have wanted to have more children. Trouble provokes them.
Fortunately, monks are prohibited from fighting on this "Wind and Thunder Island". For a moment, Song Qingming was not worried about them coming to attack him.
I am just afraid that these people have already targeted me. When Song Qingming enters the secret realm, if Song Qingming is unlucky and happens to bump into them, it may cause him some trouble. .
But in this case, Song Qingming did not regret his decision regarding what had just happened.
After returning to his residence, Song Qingming took out one of the array disks he had just bought.
After carefully observing it for a moment, Song Qingming moved his magic power, and a burst of elixir fire instantly appeared and began to melt the array in front of him.
Although there is no earth fire specifically used for weapon refining, the quality of the array disk in Song Qingming's hand is only second-grade top grade, and Song Qingming can directly smelt it with his own pill fire.
After spending a whole day and continuously tempering the natal elixir fire, Song Qingming finally succeeded in completely smelting the array plate in his hand into a ball of flowing liquid.
Song Qingming then cast a spell to search around inside, and soon he found a group of white crystal blocks that had shrunk together.
Feeling a special cold air coming from the white crystal block, Song Qingming's face suddenly became a little more joyful.
"Sure enough, I saw it right, there are really high-level mysterious crystals here!"
Song Qingming spent thousands of spirit stones to buy these formation disks, but it was not for the purpose of what he said. I really want to study these arrays.
The thing that interested him was actually the white black crystals hidden in the formation disk. Their value was much higher than the original formation disk.
This white black crystal is a rare weapon refining material in the world of immortality. It is only born in the deep sea, so it is very rare.
The reason why it was refined into this formation disk is probably because the person who refined it was of low cultivation and did not know the origin of this object.
Song Qingming can see the difference in this formation because he has seen this white Xuan Jing in a classic book before. In addition, he happens to be a high-level formation master, so he understands the formation better than Ordinary monks are much stronger.
At that time, the woman in black suddenly wanted to take away a formation disk from Song Qingming. In fact, it was also for this reason, but Song Qingming was lucky enough to discover the secrets in the formation disk one step ahead of her.
After smelting the white black crystal, Song Qingming immediately took out two middle-grade spiritual stones from his body and began to restore his own mana.
Because of the help of the residual diagram, Song Qingming only spent half a stick of incense, and the magic power in his body quickly returned to its perfect state.
Immediately afterwards, Song Qingming cast a spell to summon the natal magic weapon "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror" in his body, and then began to integrate the white mysterious crystal into the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror".
Although Song Qingming does not specialize in the art of weapon refining, and is only a second-level low-grade weapon refiner until now, the relatively simple method of refining weapons by smelting materials to improve his life magic weapon is still not of much importance to him. Difficult.
After spending nearly three days, Song Qingming finally refined all the white black crystals into his natal magic weapon in an instant. At this time, there was also a layer of faint white light on the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror".
In order to test the effect of the white mysterious crystal, Song Qingming directly called out the "Ice and Fire Dragon" and directed it to spit out a ball of fierce flames at the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror" in front of him.
"Ice and Fire Jiao" is already a late-stage foundation-building monster. Its fighting ability is not much different from those of those peak-stage foundation-building monsters. The power of the flames it spits out is not something that ordinary foundation-building monks can handle head-on.
But this time, before the flames could get closer, a burst of cold air immediately appeared in front of the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror", freezing the flames in front of them directly in mid-air.
"Finally, all my hard work has not been in vain."
Seeing the power of the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror" in front of me facing the flames, it is no worse than ordinary ice attribute magic weapons. Song Qingming, who had been smelting magic weapons without stopping, finally showed a look of satisfaction on his face at this moment.
The natal magic weapon has been successfully refined into the white black crystal. If I encounter an opponent who practices fire-attribute skills in the future, I will have some more restraint methods.
After muttering to himself in a low voice, Song Qingming put away the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror" in front of him, then took out a transmission note and cast a spell to teleport it out.
Not long after, several figures walked in outside the tent, it was Du Fengling and the other three whom they had not seen for a few days. As soon as they saw Song Qingming, the three of them hurriedly stepped forward and bowed.
"Senior has not been summoned by me for the past few days. The juniors were just about to come and inform the senior. Unexpectedly, they received a letter from the senior at this time. It is really a coincidence."
“I have been in seclusion before and I have forgotten the time. How is the situation outside now? When will the secret realm be opened? Has the time been set?”
When Song Qingming asked about the opening time of the secret realm outside, Du Fangling quickly explained: "Disciples from Tianxu Sect, Shenhuo Sect, Luofeng Valley, Yujian Sect, etc. all arrived yesterday.
It is estimated that the remaining monks from other sects should have almost arrived. There are already rumors about the secret realm on the island. The opening time is only within these two days.
The younger generation dares to ask, is the senior going to enter the inner hall to fight for spiritual objects this time? "
"Wind and Thunder Island" Ancient Times? The secret realm is somewhat similar to the "Taiyue Lake" secret realm that Song Qingming entered back then. It is also divided into two levels: inner and outer.
It’s just that whether it is the inner hall or the outer hall, it is an open secret here. Unlike the "Taiyue Lake" secret realm, ordinary monks who enter the secret realm can basically only search for spiritual objects in the outer valley. Only a few Only the disciples sent by the big sect knew about the existence of Neigu.
Like most secret realms, the ancient secret realm of "Wind and Thunder Island" is also very dangerous. A monk can easily lose his life there if he is not careful.
Generally, foundation-building monks like Du Fangling can only move in the slightly safer outer hall after entering the secret realm. If they want to enter the inner hall without the help of a Golden Core monk, they can go in with their strength. It will only be a waste of life.
The reason why Du Fengling asked this question was because he definitely wanted to see if Song Qingming, the golden elixir monk, was willing to take them into the inner hall to hunt for treasures.
After understanding the other party’s thoughts, Song Qingming first nodded and admitted that he would enter the inner hall, and then explained to them:
“I came here this time because I really want to I went to the inner hall to have a look, but this time I am alone and weak, so I may not be able to compete with those large sect disciples for the spiritual objects.
It is not easy for you to reach this point. It is too dangerous to enter the inner hall with me. I think you should not go to the inner hall rashly.
Of course, this is just my personal opinion for you, and you still have to decide for yourself what to do.
Coming here this time can be regarded as a predestined relationship with you. I also have some exercises and elixirs here that will be of some use to your future practice, so keep them first! Think of it as a reward for your hard work these days to help me find out the news. "
After Song Qingming finished speaking, he took out a green jade bottle and several volumes of exercises that could be practiced during the foundation building period, and handed them to Du Fengling and the other three in front of him.
Seeing that Song Qingming had no intention of taking them with him, Du Fengling's face suddenly showed a look of disappointment, but the next moment they saw the spiritual object that Song Qingming took out, a flash of light suddenly flashed on the three people's faces.
"What the senior said is absolutely true, but we are a little presumptuous. The senior's guidance on our practice these days has been of great help to us. I absolutely dare not accept this spiritual creature."
"This thing is of no use to me. Maybe you can use it to tell me in the future. It's good to be helpful, and it's good to make the best use of everything, so there's no need to be polite to me."
Seeing that Du Fengling and the others wanted to be polite to him, Song Qingming did not bother with them too much and waved his hand. After signaling them to accept the spiritual objects, he took the initiative to send them out of the tent.
In order to improve his own magic weapon before the secret realm opened in the past few days, Song Qingming did not stop for several days and was refining the magic weapon in the tent.
Fortunately, with the help of the residual diagram, the time it took him to refine the magic weapon was shortened several times compared to ordinary people. Otherwise, Song Qingming would not have been able to refine the white mysterious crystal into the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror" so quickly.
After seeing off Du Fengling and the others, Song Qingming also left the tent and walked alone to the west of the island.
Looking at the blue sky outside against the sea breeze on the island, Song Qingming suddenly felt much more relaxed, and the hard work of tempering the magic weapon in the past few days was wiped away.
From time to time, high-level monks flashed across the sky. As Du Fengling and the others said, there have been many more monks on the island in the past few days, and it is much more lively than before Song Qingming retreated.
As the ancient secret realm is about to open, all the monks on the "Wind and Thunder Island" have a little more excitement on their faces.
After walking around the island, Song Qingming felt that his condition had recovered a lot. Not long after he walked back, a man with a fifth level of golden elixir in a red robe took the initiative to come towards him. Came over.
"This fellow Taoist, Zhao Tianji is extremely polite. I see that this fellow Taoist has been alone all this time, but he hasn't found a partner to go with him yet!"
Hearing that the other party wanted to invite him to join the group, Song Qingming decisively surrendered to him. He shook his head and said: " Thank you Daoyou Zhao for your kindness, but I am used to being alone, so I have no intention of going with others."
"Haha! This must be my first time to Fenglei Island, although this island is. Monks are prohibited from attacking each other, but once they enter the secret This is not the case in the inner hall.
It would be okay if the Taoist friend only searched for spiritual objects in the outer hall. Once he entered the inner hall, if the Taoist friend ran into those unreasonable disciples alone, then it would be a disaster. But it's dangerous.
I have made an appointment with a few casual cultivators to go together. Your cultivation is so advanced, why not go with us? Even if you can't find anything good, we can protect each other, and you will not be outdone by those big sect disciples. Bullying.”
Seeing that the other party was still unwilling to give up on him, Song Qingming could only say with a humble face: "Young Taoist Zhao don't know something. I came from the world of immortal cultivation in the East China Sea. I heard that there was a secret world here and I came to learn more about it.
I am not familiar with this secret realm and have no intention of venturing into the inner palace. I really let down my fellow Taoist’s kindness.”
Hearing that Song Qingming had no intention of going to the inner palace, Zhao Tian. Ji's face was suddenly disappointed, he smiled and nodded and said: "Oh! So that's it, I was a little abrupt, please don't blame me!
I and several Taoist friends live in Houshan Cave Mansion. If you want to go to the inner hall at any time, you can come to us at any time."
"Thank you, fellow Taoist!" Song Qingming slightly bowed his hand to the other party, and then returned directly to his place of residence. .
After Song Qingming left, two escaping lights suddenly flew not far away, and soon a man and a woman came to Zhao Tianji's side.
“Fellow Daoist Zhao, did he just refuse?”
One of the two women, a woman in purple, saw the disappointment on Zhao Tianji’s face and immediately guessed what had just happened. , took the initiative to ask.
Hearing this, Zhao Tianji sighed and nodded: "Although this person has a high level of cultivation, he doesn't seem to have any intention of entering the inner hall. Let's look for someone else!"
" As I said before, he didn't dare to ask for the cave after he arrived on the island, so he stayed in the tent on the west side with the juniors. He must be a timid person
If you didn’t believe me at first, you may have given up now! "The woman in purple looked at the direction Song Qingming left with a look of disdain on her face.
Another white-haired old man standing next to him heard this and quickly stroked his beard at the corner of his mouth and smiled:
“Don’t be angry, Fellow Daoist Li. It should be a day or two before the secret realm opens. I will search carefully on the island and I will always find the right person to accompany you.
This person's cultivation level is so high, it is possible that he refuses because he doesn't like us. Next, we still look for those whose cultivation level can't be found, so don't take advantage of these late-stage Jindan monks. . "
"Humph! What happened to the late Jindan monks? It would be okay if this guy only wandered around the outer hall. If he really dared to enter the inner hall alone, he would be a good looker. ”
"Haha, what Fellow Daoist Li said is that we should not waste time here, and hurry up and find other fellow Daoists!"
After the three of them chatted for a while, they soon turned into light and left together. land.
What they didn’t know was that not far from where they just spoke, a transparent butterfly lying in the grass and integrated with it quietly watched everything that just happened.
It wasn't until the three of them left for a while that the transparent butterfly spread its wings and flew out of the grass. Then it chased Song Qingming in the direction where he left. After a while, it landed on the ground where Song Qingming had left. On his shoulders as he returned to his residence.
Song Qingming stretched out a finger, placed it on the "Golden Fantasy Butterfly" and used his spiritual consciousness to explore it. After a while, a smile appeared on his face and he put away the spiritual insects on his body.
——
Two days later at noon, Song Qingming was meditating in the tent to receive news. Suddenly he heard a commotion coming from outside the tent. He quickly got up and went outside to check.
Song Qingming walked out of the tent and saw the escaping lights flying quickly in the sky. They all rushed to the east of the island, scrambling for the first place with a bit of excitement on their faces.
"Is this the secret realm that has been opened?"
Before Song Qingming could ask what happened, Du Fengling and three others ran over from the side and said loudly to Song Qingming ：
"Senior Song, someone just came to inform me that the secret realm will be opened soon. Let's go there quickly!"
"Well! Wait a moment, I will take you there together!"
Confirm it is The ancient secret realm was about to open. Song Qingming immediately smiled and nodded, then returned to the tent to clean up, then took out the "Phantom Boat" and took Du Fengling and others to a beach on the south side of the island with the team of monks.
By the time Song Qingming and others arrived here, at least a thousand monks had gathered on the beach, standing densely together, and there were many monks rushing in from all directions in mid-air.
The crowd on the beach formed a large circle outside, and their eyes were focused on a small magic circle in the center of the circle.
"Is this the entrance to the secret realm?" (End of Chapter)
