Return From The Immortal World
Chapter 956: Trading Resources For Cultivation
Time passed quickly and seven days passed. The Nine Dragons Alignment Array had been completed and the shining golden shield slowly disappeared. The world energy fluctuations seemed to have returned to their original state like nothing had happened. However, the female Daoist, Daoist Zixuan, who had been stranded outside the Island of the Nine Dragons, was well aware that the power of the array had already reached an extremely frightening level, which was very frightening, given that it had madly absorbed the world's energy from all directions for the last seven days.
“There is a strange, Mr.”
The girl in a white dress fluttering in the wind stood on the bow deck while staring at the Island of the Nine Dragons and suddenly spoke.
Daoist Zixuan opened her eyes and slightly turned to her, asking, “What weirdness do you feel?”
“I feel the scenery in front gradually turn a bit blurry, Sir,” replied the girl. “Also, if you listen to the surrounding sounds, there are some sounds coming from the island before, but now there is nothing to be heard other than the sound of waves hitting the beach.”
This made Daoist Zixuan's expression slightly change. His expression suddenly changed and he released his perception towards the front quickly as his face turned pale. He coughed out a mouthful of blood just as his spiritual sense touched the invisible layer of the barrier. It seemed like there was some sort of monster that could swallow and devour his spiritual senses there.
Uhuk…
After coughing up two mouthfuls of blood, Daoist Zixuan looked at the island in front in disbelief. He vaguely realized that the Island of the Nine Dragons was currently blurred and not the slightest sound was heard from there.
The longer he and his disciples observed the island, the more blurred it became, completely disappearing from their sight. Daoist Zixuan could still confirm that the Island of the Nine Dragons was still there with his spiritual senses, but not with his eyes. There was nothing in his sight other than the boundless sea.
“Master,” call the girl, a look of doubt on her face.
“Quiet! I am fine and there is nothing to worry about, ” said Daoist Zixuan with a forced smile. “A very powerful array expert has arranged an peerless array to surround and cover the entire Nine Dragons Island. Even with my abilities, I still wouldn't be able to figure out the mystery of this place if I hadn't seen the island before. You should all remember not to easily provoke anyone on this island after we land later. ”
“But you are a Gold Core Stage expert, Sir,” said the girl. “Even if the person on the island is very strong in arrangement, it is only one skill. That person's cultivation might not be on par with yours, right? ”
“We do not know the owner of the island yet, so do not draw such conclusions easily.” Daoist Zixuan shook her head and said, “Also, even if the cultivation level of the person who has arranged this array is lower than mine as you said, it was easy to kill me once he activated this incomparable array. ”
Suddenly, Daoist Zixuan and his four disciples suddenly saw the air in front of them fluctuate and a portal appeared out of nowhere. Inside, they could clearly see the scenery of the Island of the Nine Dragons.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh ….
Several figures appeared quickly through the lightning portal. The first to appear before Daoist Zixuan were her six disciples, followed by Tang Xiu and the Mo Brothers.
“Mastered.”
Jin Chanzi, Jin Xinzi, and the other four knelt in midair and respectfully called out.
Daoist Zixuan raised her jade-like fingers slightly as six streams of qi lifted her up. Then, he nodded to them in satisfaction and said, “You have done well, my students. You meet the bad guys and get rid of them. Moreover, you also accidentally came to the Island of the Nine Dragons, giving us the opportunity to meet other powerful cultivators, a great merit in and of itself. I will give you a handsome gift once we return to our sect. ”
“Thank you, Mister!” The six young men happily replied.
Seeing that Daoist Zixuan's eyes turned to him, Tang Xiut then smiled and cupped his fists, “I have to apologize for the negligence I showed you when you visited the Island of the Nine Dragons, Senior. I have ordered some people to boil some delicious tea, and I invited Senior to come to my island to enjoy it. ”
“Is your honorable self Lord of the Island?” Daoist Zixuan slightly bowed and said, “May I know your honorable title?”
“My name is Tang Xiu; I am indeed the owner of this Nine Dragons Island, ” Tang Xiu smiled.
“May I know from which sect, school and where the upbringing of the esteemed elder who came from Daoist Tang came from?” Ask Daoist Zixuan again. “We are all fellow Daoists in the hermit circle; perhaps I know your Master too. ”
While pointing to Jin Chanzi's group of six young men, Tang Xiu lightly smiled and said, “I'm afraid my answer is your disappointment, Senior. I did not come from any school or sect, but I happened to be at a fortuitous meeting that made me acquire the inheritance left behind by a certain Senior Daoist, thus making me start on the path of cultivation. ”
“Have you arranged the line protecting this island, Daoist Tang?” Ask Daoist Zixuan again.
“I did manage it. It took half a month and quite a lot of material to complete. “Tang Xiu nodded and said,” It also consumed a lot of my strength. I wouldn't spend too much power if my cultivation level was much higher. ”
“The fact that you can set up an peerless array among the cultivation circles today is already an incredible ability in itself, Daoist Tang!” Sighs Daoist Zixuan in surprise. “I dare say that no other cultivator on Earth has a higher achievement than you.”
“Ah, you are kidding me, Senior. What I achieved in the array was none other than the surface; it was hard to be called an expert at it. “Tang Xiu chuckled and said,” By the way, you've been waiting for a week outside, Senior. Now that the door of the Nine Dragon Islands is opened, do you want to continue our conversation inside? ”
“Hahaha.” Daoist Zixuan could not help but laugh and said, “Shock you gave me when you set up the protection array on this island is really great. I feel curious and can't wait to learn more about it, but I hope Daoist Tang doesn't take it as an offense. Also, thank you for your hospitality. ”
“Please..”.
With a faint smile on his face, Tang Xiu led the Daoist people of Zixuan to the array portal, and quickly landed on the square outside the palace.
The moment Daoist Zixuan entered the Island of the Nine Dragons, she discovered that the number of guards here was much higher than what she had seen before. Only the places that entered his vision had hundreds of guards stationed at various places.
However what made him feel disbelief was that most of these guards were cultivators. Although the aura they gave off was weak and the strongest among them was only at the Foundation Establishment Stage, hundreds of cultivators alone still gave him a shock. One should know that training cultivators was a very difficult endeavor because the resources invested in each person were astronomical.
But this place had so many cultivators, and each of them gave off an intense killing aura, proof that they were ruthless people who had gone through many murders.
“I don't know if it's worth it, but there's something I want to ask you, Daoist Tang,” Daoist Zixuan said as she stopped a few meters away from the palace gate behind Tang Xiu.
“Please talk.” Tang Xiu also stopped his steps.
“It's about the number of cultivators on this island. Far beyond imagination, ” said Daoist Zixuan. “You just said that you obtained some kind of inheritance and then started the path of cultivation. But what about them? Did you train them yourself? ”
“Betul. I have built and trained them. “Tang Xiu nodded.
“As far as I know, the Earth is currently scarce on cultivation resources, while the energy of the world itself is now very thin.” Daoist Zixuan slightly frowned and said, “Ingin training so many cultivators this time will be a very difficult task, but after I have observed around, I have observed around, most of them were at the Qi Refining Stage, although there were also a few at the Foundation Establishment Stage. Aren't the resources needed to invest in it astronomical enough? ”
“This issue is actually a personal matter and rather uncomfortable to reveal to outsiders. But I think it's okay to answer your question, Senior, “ Tang Xiu replied slowly after he thought for a while. “Earth is currently very rare resource for cultivation. The energy of the world is also very thin, but I have not only inherited, but also some cultivation resources. Besides, I am a businessman in the secular world. With the capital in hand and the good network I have, I can naturally obtain a lot of valuable herbs in a short period of time by spending money. So, training my men to this level is not a problem for me. It's just..”
“What's all?” Daoist Zixuan asked with a curious expression.
“The more cultivators I have under my command, the more I lack cultivation resources,” Tang Xiu said with a forced smile. “I have no way to ease the difficulty quickly if this situation continues for longer. Frankly, the reason why I detained your six disciples on my island and waited for your arrival is that I look forward to cultivating a way to obtain cultivation resources. ”
“You mean ... You want to get the cultivation resources of my Entire Unity Sect?” Daoist Zixuan's eyebrows shot up and she added, “Or, do you want to make a deal with me?”
“As you said, Senior. That's the plan I had in mind. “Tang Xiu smiled and said,” If Senior can give me some cultivation resources, I am also willing to exchange items with you or your sect. ”
“Let's go inside and talk more, Daoist Tang,” Daoist Zixuan said with a light smile.
Tang Xiu also smiled and continued to enter the place with him and the rest. He personally led them to the spacious living room on the second floor. After the tea, snacks, and fruit were served, Tang Xiu smiled and said, “I rarely meet my fellow farmers from the cultivation world, so I didn't know the proper etiquette to entertain the farmers visiting the community. I apologize if there is anything unsatisfactory in my hospitality, Senior. ”
“No need to be polite, Daoist Tang. I have always been an easy person in nature and never liked to talk indirectly, ” Daoist Zixuan said casually as she waved her hand. “Also, I am very interested in the proposition you just told me.”
