Chapter 492: Purchasing Spiritual Plants, Rogue Cultivator Master and Apprentice, Reflecting on Oneself Three Times a Day

~19 min read 3,769 words

Qian Chen followed the ancient etiquette of leaving the pass, burning incense and storing thoughts, bathing and changing clothes. After changing into a set of dharma robes, he really felt that with this set of procedures, the irritability of his mind, which had gradually grown due to the consumption of his mind during the months of hard cultivation and the lack of progress in Wood and Water Virtues, was washed away, and his state of mind returned to peace.

He casually opened the seal, took back the Flying Cloud Cloak that covered the reef island, and the cloud and mist on the sea rolled into the cave dwelling, revealing the clear sky again.

The weather today is excellent. There are no waves on the sea, the warm sun shines into the open hall of the cave dwelling, the blue sea in front is sparkling, and the breeze makes Qian Chen feel very good.

"Fisherman, fisherman's soul, not casting a rod is not a man!"

"I heard that other specialties overseas are just unique to the Central Lands. Only the demon beasts in the sea are huge in size, strong in bloodline, and many giant demons don't even buy the face of the Long Gong, occupying a sea area alone, which is much happier than the days when the demon race on land is trembling and shrinking for fear of being killed by demons!"

Thinking of this, Qian Chen's heart for fishing for big things was a bit restless.

In his previous life, he was also an amateur unqualified angler. His biggest harvest was only a carp of more than a catty. Now that he has come to such a unique sea area in the cultivation world, if it were the old brothers in the fishing group of his previous life, they would have traveled all over the five lakes and four seas to fish (feed) water beasts and demons!

Unlike him, who cultivated for several years and finally came overseas to see this boundless water surface, only then did he have this idea.

It can be seen that Qian Chen's nature is indeed cautious...

Thinking of those anglers in his previous life who lost their ambition, Qian Chen couldn't help but blame himself: "Qian Chen, Qian Chen, how can you be so degenerate!"

"Have you forgotten the Jin Dan formation plan you set earlier? The materials for collecting Water and Wood Virtue magic treasures haven't even had a shadow yet! The Master said: 'I reflect on myself three times a day.' You must not have a heart of laziness..."

"My fishing rod made of deep-sea Yin-sinking bamboo, plus the spider silk of the Thunder Essence Spider and the long silk extracted from the silk sacs of the Jade Spider demon objects raised by the Luo family, twisted into three strands of fishing line!"

"Even a thousand-zhang giant Kun in the sea can be fished up!"

Qian Chen carried the fishing rod, followed by the two Golden and Silver Boys, one holding a canopy to shade the sun, the other holding a fish basket, following Qian Chen step by step to a fishing platform excavated on the reef island.

Qian Chen stood in a horse stance, raised his hand to swing the rod, and cast it a hundred zhang away.

"I, the master of rock fishing, Qian, will drag this mixed-blood evil dragon out of its cave today! Achieve my new record!"

Although the previous record was only a carp of one and a half catties, Qian Chen was still so ambitious.

In a chaotic reef on the seabed in the distance, a Seven-Star Dragon-Blood Eel as thick as a waist swam out of the stone crevices, looked at the spiritual pill emitting the fragrance of jade millet on the jade hook, stirred the seawater with its tail, and wrapped the fishing line around a three-foot coral next to it with a texture like blood jade.

And that three-foot blood coral was already covered with traces of the fishing line.

Through the touch in his hand, Qian Chen sensed the fishing line sink, and immediately his expression was solemn. The Seven-Star Eel under the sea slowly poked its head out, sucked the spiritual pill on the jade hook into its mouth along with the seawater, and the cold air emitted by the jade hook made it stiffen all over, while Qian Chen had already decisively raised the rod.

The fishing line tightened suddenly, tightly wrapped around the blood coral, and Qian Chen pulled the Yin-sinking bamboo rod in his hand into a huge arc.

He sank his Qi into his dantian, gave a sharp shout, and finally, the sound of the fishing line breaking came from the other side.

Qian Chen's face was happy, feeling a huge force coming from the rod. He used sword technique to borrow the elasticity of the fishing rod and quickly pulled back the fishing line. As the water surface broke, a three-foot-long red coral leaped out.

"Ah ah ah!" Qian Chen held his head and was annoyed.

The Seven-Star Eel over there had already slipped back into the stone crevice with the spiritual pill. It raised its snake-like head, quietly poked out of the sea to look at Qian Chen.

"That's it?"

"With this fishing technique, what are you fishing for! Don't you know that our sea race with dragon blood has intelligence not inferior to the human race? If it weren't for the extremely high quality of the spiritual pill on the hook, the ghost would be too lazy to accompany you to play this game that insults the sea race!" The Seven-Star Eel indicated that Qian Chen's fishing technique had low lethality and high insult!

Qian Chen casually threw the three-foot-high blood coral, which emitted unusual spiritual energy fluctuations, to the side.

It went to accompany the head-sized submarine cold iron ore, the sunken flying boat keel, and the huge demon beast bones and a group of withered Green Gall Deer Horn Grass that had been dried in the sun.

Obviously, this scene today was not accidental.

Qian Chen had been lazy for several days. Every day, besides the daily homework of eight hours, refining the Five Virtues, he spent his time in this meaningless play.

At this time, the cloud and mist covering the reef island had dispersed for several days, and the surrounding cultivators also knew that this neighbor, who had started to close the door to cultivate as soon as he arrived at the new cave dwelling, had finally left the pass!

On a slightly larger reef island not far away, a ray of light rose and flew towards Qian Chen.

The light dissipated, but it was an old Daoist priest stepping on a flying escape magic treasure refined from flying fish wings, carrying a fourteen or fifteen-year-old Dao boy, hovering above Qian Chen's reef island.

The old Daoist made a Dao obeisance and said: "This immortal friend, ten thousand blessings! The old Dao is a cultivator of the nearby Luoxia Reef, and my cave dwelling is closer to yours. The day before yesterday, you closed the cave dwelling, so it was not easy to disturb you. Today, seeing that you have time, I came to disturb you presumptuously! I hope you don't blame me!"

"Since we are neighbors, I naturally welcome you to come and walk around often!"

Qian Chen invited the old Daoist to land, casually summoned a cloud and mist, pinched it into two cushions, and asked the Golden and Silver Boys behind him to serve tea to the guests. The old Daoist looked at the two little demons and asked curiously: "Are these the essence monsters of the Central Lands, the Golden and Silver Gentlemen?"

The big one is called the Golden and Silver Gentleman, and the small one is called the Golden and Jin Jin Yin Tongzi.

Qian Chen raised these two, which were probably just fine gold and silver ingots, not the silver winter melons and large gold ingots buried in the gold and silver cellars of wealthy families.

Although these little essence monsters were a bit rare, they were not demons with great magic power, so Qian Chen didn't hide anything and smiled: "Two useless boys, let you see a joke!"

The old Daoist looked at them curiously for a few times before turning back and saying: "Gold and silver are rarely used overseas. Even if gold and silver are scattered, they sink into the sea. Without the nourishment of earth Qi, such essence monsters are very rare. The old Dao is also ignorant! Let you see a joke!"

Qian Chen noticed that the boy behind the old Daoist was not restrained. Following the old Daoist's cover, his eyes moved around, quietly looking at this reef island.

Even seeing the pile of 'sundries' in the corner of Qian Chen's room, he didn't show any surprise.

"I am a rogue cultivator Feng Xianzi, and this is my inferior disciple He Qilang. I don't know how to address you, and where is your immortal hometown?" After the old Daoist sat down, he reported his name.

Qian Chen cupped his hands, looked at this strange master and apprentice, and smiled: "I am Qian Chen, also a rogue cultivator! Recently, the Central Lands are not peaceful, not a place for cultivation, so I came overseas to avoid the limelight!"

Feng Xianzi was well-informed and sighed: "Previously, the Demon Path caused chaos in the southeast, and even hit Jiankang. Thanks to the three Heavenly Masters of the Central Lands Dao Sect, they scared away one and captured two Heavenly Demons! This is a rare appearance of a Nascent Soul True Immortal in recent years."

"That demon was rampant, actually offending the three Heavenly Masters. Now the Heavenly Master uses thunderous means. After this tribulation, the Central Lands should be peaceful! You came out at this time, but you calculated wrong!"

Qian Chen shook his head and said: "The Central Lands are full of aristocratic families and immortal sects, which is not a place for rogue cultivators to stay. The overseas is vast, so I can do something!"

"And..." Qian Chen took the spiritual tea served by the Golden and Silver Boys, took a sip, signaled the master and apprentice to use some tea, and continued: "Compared to the Heavenly Masters, people like us are like ants. Even if the Demon Tribulation is settled, the aftermath will not stop. Maybe we will meet a demon fleeing outside and lose our lives!"

Feng Xianzi nodded repeatedly: "Exactly, exactly!"

He also raised his teacup and took a sip of tea. Originally, Feng Xianzi didn't take this spiritual tea for guests seriously, but unexpectedly, after the spiritual tea entered his throat, a rich and inseparable spiritual energy suddenly dispersed, fragrant and mellow, turning into a line and sinking into his throat.

Caught off guard, he was blocked by the spiritual energy. It took a lot of effort to swallow this continuous spiritual energy, feeling that the old wounds on his body were warm and nourished.

"This tea..." Feng Xianzi lost his color.

Qian Chen forgot for a moment that the spiritual tea in his hand was a good product exchanged from Junior Sister Si, which was produced in the Sima family's manor.

Fortunately, with this identity, using some good tea is not abrupt, so he pretended to be surprised and glared at the Golden and Silver Boys, and 'forced a smile': "Just some spiritual tea, just some spiritual tea!"

He Qilang covered his mouth and laughed in the back, feeling that he had seen through Qian Chen's stubbornness.

Seeing this, Feng Xianzi also swallowed three large mouthfuls of tea. Seeing that Qian Chen didn't mean to add water to the Golden and Silver Boys, he chewed the two tea leaves disappointedly, feeling the faint bitterness and the return of sweetness, and the old wounds on his meridians were much more relaxed.

Seeing the three-foot-high blood coral behind Qian Chen, he smiled: "You are lucky. Although this red blood coral is also produced in the Zhoushan Archipelago, it is very rare. In the sea market, most of them are goods from the Long Gong."

"Such a three-foot-high one can be worth our rent for a year!"

He also saw the Green Gall Deer Horn Grass and the flying boat keel behind the blood coral. Although the keel was a fragment, it was made of good spiritual wood, and the Green Gall Deer Horn Grass was an auxiliary medicine for several kinds of spiritual pills. The Green Gall Agar boiled from it was a common sealing glue shell for overseas spiritual pills, which was best for sealing pill Qi and preserving spiritual pills, and its value was only slightly inferior to the blood coral.

This pile was scattered in the reef, could it be that this person didn't know the overseas products and missed it?

Feng Xianzi couldn't help but remind him, but Qian Chen said indifferently: "These days I fished for a Seven-Star Eel nearby. I didn't catch the fish, but these messy things were hooked up!"

He Qilang looked at Qian Chen and felt that this Central Lands cultivator probably didn't have a good brain, so he couldn't help but interject: "How much are Seven-Star Eels worth? The spiritual materials you fished are enough to buy ten!"

Feng Xianzi glared at him and scolded: "Less talk..."

Qian Chen raised his hand and said: "No harm! That Seven-Star Eel is not the same as others. It has dragon blood. I am slightly proficient in the overseas technique of planting spiritual roots, and I want to extract its dragon tendon! This kind of spiritual root is a rare water-fire dual spiritual root. Water and fire stimulate each other. Originally, this kind of spiritual root is the easiest to plant, but this dragon eel has dragon blood and is dotted with seven stars. I have great confidence in planting a superior water-fire dual spiritual root!"

Feng Xianzi was shocked: "So you are a rare Central Lands Heavenly Heavenly Linggen Master? Water-fire dual spiritual roots are mostly waste spiritual roots. A superior water-fire dual spiritual root must be five parts water and five parts fire."

"In this way, water and fire are balanced, which is an aptitude highly valued by many overseas cultivation families and sects!"

"In this way, this eel is a rare spiritual object, and its value is immeasurable!"

The Seven-Star Dragon Eel lurking in the reef in the distance used the natural seven stars on its back to secretly hear this conversation, and was shocked—I saw that the quality of the spiritual pill for your bait was extremely high, so I kindly sent up those valuable things in the sea, which was considered an exchange with you.

I didn't expect that I was kind, but you were greedy for my body...

This sea area cannot stay! I saw that your cultivation base was clearly very high, but you were unwilling to use magic spells to catch me, thinking you were a rare human gentleman.

I didn't expect that you would not talk about 'fishing virtue' in the end!

You don't even know that you should release it after you have it, and big things should be released!

The Seven-Star Dragon Eel hurriedly packed up its family property, prepared to take advantage of the night, and moved overnight...

Qian Chen chatted with Feng Xianzi for a few more words, revealed his identity as a Heavenly Heavenly Linggen Master, and asked Feng Xianzi to help spread the news, saying that he was purchasing seeds and news of spiritual plants. If anyone wanted to plant spiritual roots for their children, they could also come to him.

Qian Chen noticed that Feng Xianzi's disciple He Qilang had some unusual movements. Although he covered it up very well, how could these things escape the eyes of someone like Qian Chen who was proficient in the Great Dao of Inner Demons.

"It's good to cheat one to try!" Qian Chen had many bad ideas in his heart, but on the surface, he was very confident in his own craftsmanship.

"The spiritual roots and water-attribute spiritual objects you are looking for are rare in such quality. After all, the Zhoushan Archipelago is close to the Central Lands, and there are many cultivators traveling through. Any precious spiritual objects have long been..." Feng Xianzi stopped talking.

Qian Chen smiled: "What I am most proficient in is the planting and raising of wood spiritual roots. If I can get a spiritual plant of extremely high quality, I can have a steady stream of top-grade wood spiritual roots, and it is not impossible to pay a great price."

"There are many rogue cultivators near the Flying Boat Sea Market, and the news is well-informed. As long as I find one or two, I will definitely not treat you badly. As for water-attribute spiritual objects... it concerns my cultivation, so I can't say too much. You can rest assured, as long as there is news, I am willing to give a superior magic treasure!"

"If there is a ready-made top-grade spiritual plant, I am willing to pay five thousand Three Mountains Talismans!"

"Five thousand!" Feng Xianzi opened his eyes instantly. He reminded Qian Chen: "Although Three Mountains Talismans can be used universally, many rogue cultivators get precious treasures and only like to exchange goods for goods, directly exchanging for things that are beneficial to their own cultivation!"

"Three Qianyuan Bone-Changing Pills, this pill can change aptitude and repair the tripod, you should know!"

Qian Chen said lightly, Feng Xianzi nodded like garlic: "Know, know, this pill is the most precious kind of spiritual pill, I didn't expect you to have..."

"There is also the Flying Star Flowing Pearl Pill... which can increase the chance of Jin Dan formation for those with missing Dao foundations by thirty percent!" Qian Chen glanced at the blood coral and Green Gall Deer Horn Grass next to him, calculating the spiritual pills that could be refined with these two as the main medicines.

Feng Xianzi was so excited that his hands and feet were trembling: "Enough, enough! You should be careful. After all, this place is still remote. If some villains know..."

Qian Chen waved a sword light, cut through the ten-mile sea surface, and smiled: "I still have some ability to protect myself!"

"Sword light differentiation... In this way, I am afraid that it is only one line away from Jin Dan formation! Those spiritual plants and water-attribute spiritual objects are probably used for Jin Dan formation."

Feng Xianzi was shocked and said repeatedly: "Since you have cultivated such a superb sword technique as sword light differentiation, I am afraid that even if ten ordinary Penetrating the Law cultivators come, you will not be afraid. Even a Jin Dan True Person, I am afraid, will not dare to take action rashly. It is my mistake! Please don't blame me!"

"Since you are thinking for me, why blame me?" Qian Chen smiled: "Just release the news. If there are villains, I am waiting for them!"

Feng Xianzi master and apprentice cupped their hands and left...

The Seven-Star Dragon Eel in the sea saw this sword light brush over its head and split the water surface dozens of zhang deep, and was so scared that it peed out!

It hurriedly carried its small package, dived deep into the strait, ignored the remaining family property, and fled towards the far sea without looking back.

Qian Chen looked at that place intentionally or unintentionally, smiled coldly and said: "Fishing is a sentiment. A mere small dragon fish, dare to laugh at me! Do you really think I won't pump water?"

He looked at the leaving Feng Xianzi master and apprentice, smiled and said: "A Jin Dan True Person who has been severely injured and even his Jin Dan has been broken! A disciple with extremely poor aptitude, but his flesh and blood are filled with pure spiritual energy. Clearly, he is already a superior Foundation Establishment, but the cultivation base revealed is only just entering the Dao... Oh! I forgot, overseas cultivators first sense, practice Qi, then Foundation Establishment, Penetrating the Law. After all, Jin Dan is not easy, so they have to cultivate a few more layers of Dao foundation!"

"Interesting! Interesting!"

"These two are not like masters and apprentices, and they have their own ghosts, but they really have a bit of friendship." Qian Chen only saw their background and saw through many things.

That He Qilang with poor aptitude, clearly has poor aptitude, but his cultivation speed is not slow, and his flesh and blood are filled with spiritual energy. Clearly, he often takes heavenly materials and earthly treasures filled with spiritual energy to have such a cultivation base.

Could it be a person with great fortune and a 'golden finger'?

And that Feng Xianzi, clearly a Jin Dan True Person, but he seemed to have suffered a very heavy injury in his early years, and even his Jin Dan was about to collapse. For this reason, he also performed some kind of forbidden method to seal the Jin Dan, only revealing the cultivation base of a side-door Penetrating the Law cultivator. And that He Qilang seemed to know that Feng Xianzi had been seriously injured, but it seemed that he only thought he was a Penetrating the Law cultivator.

This is the role that Qian Chen once played, the 'old grandfather' who is famous in the heavens!

The two of them, one providing spiritual medicine to stabilize the injury, the other providing shelter, formed a strange relationship of fellow Daoists.

This made Qian Chen a little curious!

"This overseas is really interesting, much more fun than the Central Lands! Look at that He Qilang, it seems he has the idea of planting spiritual roots for me. What price should I charge him?" Qian Chen carried his hands, picked up the Yin-sinking bamboo fishing rod, and walked towards the cave dwelling.

The cunning Seven-Star Dragon Eel was scared away, so tomorrow he has to find a new sea demon to fish!

Is it that hundred-year-old hawksbill turtle thirty miles away?

Or that red dragon grouper under the Scattered Star Reef? It's too easy to fish and has no challenge!

"Qian Chen! Qian Chen! How can you be so lazy!"

"I calculated with my fingers that the weather tomorrow is not good, which is a good opportunity for big fish to bite!" Qian Chen was suddenly excited and threw his previous self-reflection behind his head. ===== CHAPTER 493 =====
