Volume 1: Red Lotus Temple Chapter 107: Joining Jin Ao Island

  Zhu Guo happily took the scroll of Taoist scriptures, flipped through it, and Fan Gongzi smiled: "Don't worry, in this kind of transaction, no one dares to cheat you. Otherwise, this person will never be able to make a deal again. And cheating in front of me? Ha..."

  Fan Gongzi looked at the old cultivator and the old cultivator lowered his head and hastily said he didn't dare.

  "Master Fan, I don't want to exchange any Taoist techniques, what I want is... dragon blood, the true blood of a dragon."

  Fan Gongzi shook his head and said, "The blood of a true dragon, even if it's a famous sect or a large clan, would be treasured and not used for trading. If you want ordinary dragon blood, I have some here."

  Bai Qi shook his head and said: "I can create a fake dragon, but it's not the blood of a real dragon, so it doesn't have much meaning."

  "Fu Long!"

  Master Fan's voice suddenly rose, his eyes turned icy cold, and he looked at the cultivators present. These cultivators could only lower their heads and smile bitterly. Even if the Zhongzhou cultivators knew how to create dragon talismans, they couldn't compare to the Fan family.

  Bai Qi smiled and said: "Xu Long is also a minor path in Zhongzhou, but no one wants to cultivate it. Since I don't have a good master, I thought of this unorthodox method."

  Fan Gongzi hesitated for a moment, then said: "Bai Gongzi, if you really know how to refine the Symbolic Dragon, you can enter my Jin Ao Island. Your status won't be low. The power of this Symbolic Dragon is very great, but except for the Dà Mén Pài, others cannot support your consumption."

  He heard that Bai Qi was refining the Dragon Symbol and had become much more polite, and also didn't see any unnatural expressions.

  Jian Bai hesitated for a moment, and Fan Gongzi continued: "Zhan Bu and Zhu Guo, you two can also go to Jin Ao Island. In the future, you will take care of each other and won't suffer any losses."

  "Thank you, sir." Bai Qi sincerely thanked Fan Gongzi, thinking to himself that his luck had indeed improved a lot. He was able to enter a large sect before even arriving at the Divine State. Bai Qi didn't need any sect's support; he just wanted a safe and stable place to cultivate.

  As for the technique of the dragon seal, it is something from the Yunmeng Sect. Bai Qi saw it in the Nine Heavens Purple Fox Seal because he lacked dragon blood, so he never refined it. This true dragon blood was used to unlock seals, and his body stored a lot, but he didn't want to waste it on this.

  Bai Qi is now in the 720 apertures of Qinglian, filled with the blood of Xuanlong. For a time, these 720 apertures have almost lost half of their power. The blood of Xuanlong cannot be refined by Qinglian, and all of them are in a closed state. This is not conducive to Bai Qi's cultivation, so he needs to find a safe place to slowly deal with this dragon blood.

  These dragon blood, for the Mirage Dragon, is just a drop in the ocean, but for Bai, it's like a burning sun. The gap between them is too great, he wants to directly absorb and refine, it's simply not possible.

  Bai Qi accepted Fan Gongzi's invitation and joined the Golden Turtle Island. The arrogant look on Fan Gongzi's face decreased a lot, it seems he was only targeting outsiders, but is still quite polite to his own people.

  However, Master Fan also said that the three people who joined the Fan family on Golden Rooster Island would have to wait until they returned to the Divine Continent before they could receive some benefits from the sect. Before that, they could only be counted as outer disciples. If something happened, Master Fan would come forward to settle it. Only after meeting the master of the Fan family and confirming that the three were not spies could they officially take up residence on Golden Rooster Island.

  Bai Qi returned to refine the dragon symbol, and Zhu Guo would refine the elixir. Even if their level wasn't high, in the Divine State, they weren't people who couldn't be used. Fan Gongzi recruited two people, and the exhibition was just an extra, it didn't matter whether it existed or not.

  Zhan Bu was also somewhat depressed, but he sought longevity, not fame. Being able to join a major sect in the Divine State is also a good choice. This Jin Ao Island can mobilize hundreds of ships, and it doesn't seem like its scale will be too small.

  Next is the transaction, in this fleet, there are dozens of people from various sects, these people rely on Fan's family fleet to go to other major states, the harvest is also good, but many materials obtained through transactions are not needed by the sect, safe transactions on Fan's family ship can save a lot of time when returning to Shen State.

  Each sect is a seat, a table, selling things, many of which are demon pills of sea monsters. When Mr. Fan sees what he wants, he speaks directly and the prices offered are very fair. Bai Qi looked at it for a while and asked: "Mr. Fan, can we also buy these items?"

  Fan Gongzi frowned and said: "What do you want? Just ask the door directly, why waste this money?"

  Bai Qi hesitated for a moment and said: "No merit has been established, how can I open my mouth?"

  Fan Gongzi hesitated and asked: "Could it be that Zhongzhou Menpai treats its own disciples like this?"

  Bai Qi said: "I am for Zhang brother."

  He said this, and no longer cared about Zhao's face. Anyway, he also knew that for Zhao, apart from living a long life, there was nothing else important.

  Fan Gongzi said, "This is easy to say. Later on, you can take care of him yourself and there won't be any trouble. I also like the way of talismans. After you advance to the Golden Elixir stage, we can exchange more ideas. As for buying and selling transactions, if you're interested, go ahead and do it. However, most things will be provided by the sect, so you don't need to worry about them on your cultivation path."

  "What do we need to do?"

  "Zhu Guo can safely refine the elixir in the sect, and if he wants to improve his combat skills, there will be people in the sect who will protect him while he goes out to hunt and kill some demonic beasts. You just need to take care of making talismans, and you can follow the sect's orders to carry out tasks such as going out to sea to hunt or trade across states. After several decades, if there are no problems, he can also be responsible for teaching some new disciples about the Taoist way, and it's okay if he doesn't want to go out and take risks."

  "What if I were to hunt down the monsters in this vast ocean?" White Qi's question seemed strange, but it was actually a key to understanding the operating mechanism of the Shen Zhou Men sect.

  "Hunt and kill monsters on the ship, hand over half to the school. You won't be at a loss, because you have the protection of the fleet, you won't encounter life-threatening danger, it's equivalent to a stable profit."

  Bai nodded, on the Divine State's territory, disciples of sects still have an easier life. At least there are fewer safety issues, and he didn't dare to hunt and kill demonic beasts randomly in this ocean. When riding the Jīn Duò Jīn Zhōu (Golden Ferry), he had always been avoiding powerful existences. But it was different within this fleet. Among hundreds of ships, there were over a dozen Daoist artifacts, which means that within this fleet, there were at least more than forty Golden Dan period powerhouses taking turns to manipulate the large ships.

  The entire fleet formed a large array, protecting the small boat. This requires at least three masters of the False Immortal level to take turns holding down the fort. Considering that there are also some powerful existences in the sea, it's possible that this fleet is hiding an Earth Immortal as well.

  This is exactly what he wanted, a stable cultivation environment, no need to fight with others. If you really want to hone your skills, the sect will also provide opportunities. It seems that in the Divine State, the cohesion of this sect is much stronger than that of the Zhongzhou. There are not many people serving beside Fan Gongzi, and each one looks very proud.

  This pride is because they are people of the Fan family, and when they go out, they will be respected.

  Bai Qi saw that Fan Gongzi was not restrained, and he still traded some materials with those people, which were indeed used for refining the sword pill. Among them, there was a red meteorite from the sea, which had to be ground in the seabed for over 100,000 years to have special properties. Another was the golden elixir of the demon, which could be used to cast talismans inside the sword pill.

  Zhan Bu's family was not wealthy, but Bai Qi had twelve bottles of dan medicine. He could take out any one of them and sell it for a good price. In the Divine State, alchemists were rare, so Fan Wu Bing could support Zhan Bu for free, just to let Zhu Guo and Bai Qi learn from him.

  Two for one, even if Zhan Bu is an ordinary person, Fan Gongzi has made a profit.

  From start to finish, he didn't force Zhu Guo to join the sect until Bai Qi made a request. Fan Gongzi had sharp eyes and immediately discovered that Bai Qi was the mastermind of this group, so he decisively invited them to join the sect and conveniently absorbed Zhu Guo, an alchemist.

  The Fan family dominated the Golden Turtle Island because of their powerful voice-making methods. In the short term, it seemed like they were at a disadvantage, but over the years, no other family could surpass them on the island. Decades of accumulation allowed the Fan family to drive out all other forces from the Golden Turtle Island.

  The family is still dominated by one person and adheres to the old family rules. This makes the status of the Fan family unshakeable.

  Master Fan was delighted to see that Bai Qi was purchasing goods and consuming expensive medicine, which made him even more pleased. This Bai Qi's abilities were not bad, and he wasn't a poor wretch either, having good eyesight and insight. Generally speaking, people wouldn't be willing to send someone like this to the Fan household as a spy. As long as his identity as a Zhongzhou person could be verified, he could be used with confidence. Moreover, Bai Qi valued relationships, which was better than those who were naturally cold-blooded.

  He quietly bought some things, but they were for exhibition preparation.

  He has a good aura and two friends. Fan Gongzi is unwilling to show kindness directly, but can invest in him.

  Suddenly, the big ship shook violently. Bai Qi's dark energy expanded instantly and his consciousness probed outward, only to see that in front of the fleet, a huge iron hook shot out from a large ship and pierced into the body of an enormous whale. The whale was also a golden core demon beast, but after being pierced by the iron hook, its body stiffened and it couldn't cast any demonic spells. In an instant, the flying sword sliced it to pieces.

  Someone immediately flew down and dug up the demon's elixir.

  From start to finish, the battle only lasted for a dozen or so breaths, and a Golden Core stage demonic beast had lost its life just like that.

  This was just a small interlude, and next, Bai Qi saw scene after scene of slaughter. Any demon beast that crashed into the front of the fleet was almost killed and dismembered. On the large ship in the front, there was clearly a fake immortal present, and the hunt was carried out cleanly and efficiently.

  Those sailors from the Fan family were at least cultivators in the Qi Refining stage; there wasn't a single ordinary person among them.

  It seems that in the Zhongzhou legend, every place on the continent can cultivate, although it's a bit exaggerated, but it accurately describes. Even if there are people who aren't Qi Refiners among the transmission, they're all close to Innate Warriors.

  Such warriors, as long as they have a large number of people and momentum, also have the power to fight against monsters.

  The fleet advanced like flying, and in one day and night, it had already gone out of more than 10,000 miles. This was still the case with constant delays along the way, hunting and killing many powerful monsters.

  On this ship, it was indeed safe. After several months, Bai Qi and others arrived on a continent with the fleet. This is Jin Ao Island, stretching for thousands of miles, only tens of thousands of miles away from Shenzhou, and cultivators can fly safely without relying on equipment.
