Chapter 497
"So that Daoist Qian is cultivating here?"
Between the sea and the sky, two cultivators with similar appearances, flat noses, small eyes, and dark skin were hiding in the clouds, peeping at the small reef island not far ahead.
Their expressions were cold and gloomy, and their eyes kept scanning the vital points of the reef island where restrictions could be set up.
"Big brother, I have already inquired clearly. This Daoist Qian came here alone from the Central Lands to take refuge a few months ago. He is alone here and has no connection with our overseas, which is the best target to attack!"
The cultivator who spoke did not rely on any flying magic treasure and stopped in mid-air.
He was wrapped in a black qi like a large python. This black qi encountered the water vapor rising from below and was immediately stained with a layer of silver-white.
Mixed with dots of white frost falling down, there was a strange coldness hidden within.
It was precisely the Profound Xuan Xuan Yin Shuang Sha used by Qian Chen when he first refined pills.
Even among Penetrating-Law cultivators, being able to condense Earth Sha qi and fly through the air without relying on magic treasures, this person's cultivation base could be called profound!
As for the cultivator opposite him, when he flew, he was wrapped in a cloud of smoke, with firelight flowing within, as if a fire had occurred somewhere.
The grade of this Sha qi was lower than the Profound Xuan Xuan Yin Shuang Sha, belonging to the side sects, and was called the Red Flame Fire Sha. It was a type of Sha qi condensed after the poisonous fire power of the Earth Aperture leaked out, and the resulting burning wind killed countless living beings.
But the two of them refining Sha qi was not to combine it with Heavenly Gang qi to condense a higher-grade pill, but to melt it into their magic power to increase its power.
Therefore, this Red Flame Fire Sha was actually more powerful and practical.
The big brother of the Li brothers had a head full of scorched black hair, his short hair sticking to his scalp was curled by the protective burning wind, looking like the flesh bun of a monk, while his younger brother's messy hair was condensed by white frost, dirty and messy, tangled into a ball, looking like a head full of knotted braids.
The Li family's eldest brother nodded slightly and said: "I have also seen that boat-dweller. The spiritual root he planted indeed belongs to the supreme grade. The boat-dwellers are of snake origin, and there are quite a few old fellows among them who are not easy to provoke, so I spared him for the time being and did not force him to explain more. However, since he is a cultivator from the Central Lands, yet he knows such clever techniques as spiritual root cultivation, does this person really have no connection with the major overseas sects?"
The Li family's second brother revealed a smile full of ferocity and said: "Big brother, don't you trust me? It's been so many years! When have I ever provoked a hard nut to crack?"
"According to the news from the Bai Zhou Merchant Association, this person should be at the Penetrating-Law cultivation base, and his accent, and even his temperament, are very different from overseas. In the past few days, I have probed his background, and he knows nothing about our major overseas immortal sects, or even the local customs. How could he have any connection with major overseas sects?"
"Big brother, think about it, how huge is the spiritual energy that a Core Formation cultivator needs to breathe every day? How can those small and broken cave dwellings in this remote sea area provide it? The spiritual energy of that spiritual spring is already a bit difficult for us two brothers to use. Core Formation cultivators are guests of honor in every island and merchant association, so why bother to wrong themselves like this?"
"For the four words of wealth, method, land, and companion for cultivators, the most indispensable is the spiritual mountain and blessed land used for cultivation. That person went into seclusion for several months after renting the cave dwelling, which shows that he is someone who refuses to delay his cultivation. If the spiritual energy was not enough for his needs, he should have been impatient long ago!"
The Li family's eldest brother also nodded slightly: "We refined Sha qi, so the spiritual energy required for cultivation is ten times that of ordinary people. In this way, this person's cultivation base is at most a senior Penetrating-Law."
"Exactly!" The Li family's second brother grinned hideously: "And big brother, don't you know the level of Central Lands cultivators? If it comes to cultivation methods, they have some ways, but when it comes to fighting, five Central Lands cultivators are no match for one of us overseas. Let alone those loose cultivators, even the children of Central Lands aristocratic families..."
He lowered his voice and said: "The magic treasures on their bodies are exquisite, but when they really start fighting, how can they be our brothers' opponents?"
"It is rumored that Central Lands cultivators haven't even killed anyone after reaching the Yin Spirit Realm!"
The Li family's second brother said incredulously: "I really don't know how they cultivated? Which of our overseas Nascent Soul cultivators didn't kill their way out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood?"
"They raise countless Dao soldiers and retainers, so of course they don't have to do it themselves..."
The Li family's eldest brother refuted a few words, but still nodded slightly: "Central Lands cultivators are indeed not good at fighting. If they are cultivators who are so proficient in external paths, it is even harder for them to fight with others."
"Exactly! This Daoist Qian hasn't fought many times, maybe not even ten times, but how many talisman coins has he spent in these few days? They were all exchanged for those spiritual herbs that are extremely troublesome to process! These are all things in our brothers' pockets! How can we let him waste them?"
The ferocity on the Li family's second brother's face was revealed, and he said with a bit of arrogance: "It's not easy to do it here, so let's force him first!"
On the reef island, Qian Chen was flipping through the talisman letter sent by He Qilang, and there was also a letter from Yan Yan Shixiong Yan.
Qian Chen only glanced at the robbers mentioned in He Qilang's talisman letter twice, then put it aside and ignored it. These clowns were not worth him spending any more effort on.
The demons he killed in the Jin Ling Cave Heaven, if changed to overseas, would be more than enough to destroy several major immortal sects that shook one side! Speaking of which, the entire sea market couldn't find a few people who could make him wary... It was better to read the letter from Yan Yan Shixiong Yan.
Yan Yan Shixiong Yan said in the letter that today he heard that there was a change in Jiankang, and the three sects of Penglai were a bit restless, not knowing what method they used to provoke the conflict between the Dragon Clan and Shaoqing.
He himself was also dispatched by his sect to destroy several small sects and cultivation families that had defected to Penglai. Now he was chasing down the Core Formation ancestors of those families and couldn't spare his hands for a while, so he let Qian Chen wait in the Zhoushan Archipelago for the Jiazi Grand Market. If there was anything, he could ask the senior brother of Shaoqing stationed here for help, and he also presented a guest token of Shaoqing with the letter.
Qian Chen took the token and looked at it, then was a bit speechless.
The token was a small green sword, with a texture like jade, containing pure Shaoqing sword qi, and it was itself a pretty good flying sword.
Even using a flying sword as a token for outsiders, this sect was truly hopeless!
Qian Chen flicked his finger and cast several magic powers to easily refine this 'token'. As the Innate One-Qi Taiqing Divine Talisman was cast into the sword, a Taiji diagram logo suddenly rose on the hilt, which could be hidden as Qian Chen moved his thoughts.
"So there is also special treatment within the Dao Sect!"
Qian Chen sensed the flying sword and found that with this sword, he could sense the various stations of the Shaoqing Sword Sect overseas and could send letters to various places by flying sword.
There was a merchant association under Shaoqing in the flying boat sea market not far away, where Shaoqing sect members should be stationed.
Qian Chen was slightly surprised by this, which meant that with this sword, he could send a letter to ask for help from nearby Shaoqing sect members when falling into a dead end, and with the character of Shaoqing disciples, they would never sit idly by. If entrusted to the wrong person, such a token could become bait to lure and kill Shaoqing sect members.
The level of this token was definitely not low.
Yan Yan Shixiong Yan giving it to him so easily showed the trust involved.
"Why is Yan Yan Shixiong either hacking people or on the way to hacking people?" Qian Chen put down the small green jade sword and sighed: "Such a heavy killing nature is not the style of our Dao Sect disciples! Impatient, too impatient! It's still my Supreme Dao, either burning fire and refining pills or in seclusion and cultivation, which quite captures the style of the Immortal Dao's purity and inaction!"
Just at this moment, he heard a few knocks on the door outside.
The Gold and Silver boys hurried in and gestured to Qian Chen, and the Ear-Dao God, whom Qian Chen had sent to keep watch around, also returned, whispering in Qian Chen's ear.
"Two evil guests with unkind expressions have come outside the door?"
Qian Chen watched the Gold and Silver boys holding the Magnetic Light Bottle and about to go out to collect the people, and hurriedly stopped them: "Wait, don't be in a hurry to kill, let them in!"
He listened to the Ear-Dao God whispering again, then frowned and said: "Alright! It's enough to clarify their identities! Where they raised a few women, where the family they created by disguising their identities is, and where they hid those few coins. I don't care about that!"
Qian Chen looked up and saw that the nearby cave dwellings had all raised escape lights, only on Feng Xianzi's side, the old Daoist was carrying his disciple and falling toward this side, looking like he was coming to support him.
Qian Chen thought that it wouldn't matter how long he left those two hanging, but since Feng Xianzi was coming over, he couldn't not entertain him, so he stepped out of the cave dwelling.
He swept across the nearby clouds, narrowed his eyes, and there were really quite a few people watching the fun nearby. He had spent a lot of money in these few days, and the commotion he made was not as exciting as the free fun.
Those who could afford to live on this island were all Penetrating-Law cultivators. Speaking of which, quite a few people were curious about Qian Chen, this new neighbor, and a few had come to visit, but seeing the Chen brothers, whose ferocity was well-known, none of them dared to come forward.
"Daoist Qian!" Feng Xianzi's escape light landed beside Qian Chen, and he bowed slightly. He Qilang also whispered: "Did the senior receive the junior's talisman letter?"
Qian Chen nodded slightly, signaling that he knew the background of the two, and casually opened the restriction to let the two in.
The Chen brothers landed on the reef island with evil shapes and evil appearances. The Chen family's second brother, who was wrapped in black qi, saw the Gold and Silver boys behind Qian Chen, and his eyes suddenly lit up. He clicked his tongue in wonder and said: "These Gold and Silver boys are raised well. Although these things are of no great use, they are rare and seldom seen overseas. Many Core Formation True Persons especially love boys to serve them, but humans grow up fast, and the boys they take in often become unusable after a few years!"
"Such spirits can be played with as a rarity, and I think they are worth a lot!"
The Gold and Silver boys were not ignorant of human speech, and hearing this, they were both furious. The Gold boy, a lump, had already raised the small Magnetic Light bottle in his hand, and the Silver boy was holding a pale yellow silk ribbon, baring his fangs and brandishing his claws as if he wanted to strangle the two.
The Li family's eldest brother's eyes flashed with a rainbow light, and he suddenly sneered: "The essence of these Gold and Silver boys is special. They have clearly been nourished with Geng-Xin gold. It is more valuable to take them and refine them!"
He glanced at Qian Chen and said coldly: "This Daoist friend, haven't you taught these spirits you raised? If not, my two brothers will teach them for you!"
Qian Chen glanced at the two boys. It was the first time he saw them so angry, and he was very curious. If he let the two do as they pleased, could they withstand the discipline of the Gold and Silver boys? These two boys were slightly simple and honest, and probably couldn't play any tricks, but if the Ear-Dao God went up to join in the fun, then these two would have something to play with!
