Su Yebai, Shangguan Xiaoxiao.
In the cave, Li An was more and more confused. These two were both disciples of the Dao level. What were they doing here?
Or was it that Dao Zong was in the South China Sea and had some plans?
He immediately walked out and welcomed the two into the cave.
"Dao Zong's name is well-known. I am so lucky to meet Senior Dao Zong today--"
Li An personally poured tea for Su Yebai and Shangguan Xiaoxiao.
Su Yebai smiled and said, "I don't know what your name is?"
Li An said, "I am Ying Huaihai, the supreme elder of Yingyuan Island."
Su Yebai said, "Elder Ying, I won't beat around the bush. The people from Daoling Sect should have just left, right?"
Li An was stunned and said, "I don't understand what you two mean."
Su Yebai laughed and said, "Elder Ying, there is no need to hide or worry. We Dao Sect have been tracking this Daoling Sect for many years. To be honest, this Daoling Sect was founded by a Daoling parrot. This evildoer is only one step away from becoming an immortal, and he is good at hiding and being weird. He has quite some tricks."
"It has conquered cities and territories in the South China Sea over the years, and has recruited a large number of masters. We have already grasped his contact with your Yingyuan Island."
Li An's heart sank.
Dao Sect is indeed unfathomable!
But think about it, Dao Sect has immortals to plan the matter of the South China Sea Immortal Wind!
Even a corner of the South China Sea was taken to refine the secret realm for the disciples to test. How could Dao Zong not know about the South China Sea? Not paying attention?
Although the Daoling Parrot is strong, it has not become an immortal after all, and it is inferior to Dao Zong.
"We cooperated with the Daoling Parrot purely under duress..."
Li An said.
"We are not here to ask for punishment, on the contrary, we have a favor and want to ask Elder Ying for help."
Su Yebai said: "Dao Ling Zong asked you to help refine the seal. In a few years, we will definitely ask you to dig the Giant Tomb Island... We Dao Zong want to ask Daoyou to do something."
Li An understood... Dao Zong is planting spies? ?
And what is the Giant Tomb Island... As expected, Dao Zong knows a lot of things.
"This..."
Li An hesitated. "Elder Ying, don't you want to?" Su Yebai smiled gently, "This is a great thing to save the people. If you do it, you will have infinite merits, and our Dao Sect will also remember Elder Ying's contribution and favors." Shangguan Xiaoxiao said directly: "Dao Ling Sect only gave you magic skills. They can only give you some superficial methods. After this is done, I will give you a real full set of magic skills, including the blood and flesh furnace skills, Yuanling Honglu skills, and Yin Yang magic furnace skills of the magic sect." Xiaoxiao was still honest... Li An pretended to have a bright look in his eyes and said, "Do you really mean what Miss Shangguan said?" Su Yebai frowned slightly, but didn't say anything. Shangguan Xiaoxiao said: "Of course." "Okay, I agree!" Li An agreed and said, "It's just that this matter is too dangerous. I want to ask your sect for a protective item..." Su Yebai said: "What does Elder Ying want?" Li An tried: "How about a... Mahayana period magic weapon?" Mahayana period! This kind of thing is also extremely precious in Dao Sect. For example, Li An has the treatment of a great disciple, but he has no chance to get it or use it.
He took the opportunity to blackmail only for one reason. The second reason is that Dao Sect will trust him only if he asks for the treasure.
Li An also wants to plot for the strange spirit Dao mark, and now Dao Sect and Daoling Parrot are both making plans... He agreed to it and could know the action plans of both parties, which would be more beneficial to him.
Su Yebai frowned and said, "Elder Ying's appetite is a bit too big!"
"In this case, I can agree to you first, but if you want the magic weapon of a great master, Elder Ying also needs to make enough contributions in exchange!"
Another empty promise...
Li An did not ask any more questions and said, "Okay, in this case, I will encourage you to give it a try!"
Su Yebai took out something and said, "This is a spiritual pill. Please use it, Elder Ying, as a witness to our cooperation. How about it?"
Li An took the pill and frowned. He had already seen that this pill... had problems.
It contains prohibitions and deadly poisons!
"Please take it, Elder Ying."
Su Yebai urged calmly.
Li An knew clearly that Dao Zong was very confident in him, so he wanted to use this poison pill to control him...
If he didn't take it, Shangguan Xiaoxiao and Su Yebai would probably take action...
Killing to silence the witnesses was inevitable.
Although Dao Zong was a well-known and upright sect, in their eyes, these creatures on the South China Sea were all alienated, almost evil and heretic, and they certainly wouldn't talk about morality with them.
Li An hesitated for a moment, but still took the pill.
Anyway, his life seed was not afraid of toxins at all!
On the contrary, he could slowly refine and absorb this poison to strengthen his middle finger——
"Okay."
Su Yebai smiled, "Please keep this matter secret, if you tell others, or have other intentions, I'm afraid there will be unexpected disasters."
"Sister Xiaoxiao, let's go——"
The two got up immediately and left directly. ...
Li An closed the formation of Yingyuan Island, as if no one had been there.
After they left, Li An slowly activated his life seed to dissolve the poison in the pill.
"So strong, this poison can kill a great man, right?"
Feeling the poison of the pill, Li An was quite surprised.
This pill is controlled by a restriction. Once the restriction breaks out, the poison will invade the whole body. It is very powerful. Once the restriction enters the body, unless the person who made the restriction from Dao Sect helps, if others want to take it by force, the restriction will be activated immediately.
The power of his life seed slowly dissolves the poison and absorbs it into his middle finger, which is like cutting off the firewood from under the cauldron!
At the same time, he was also thinking.
Dao Sect, Daoling Parrot... have already taken action.
Moreover, Shangguan Shengxian and others from the Demon Sect may also get involved in the future. The situation in the South China Sea is really a bit sinister and complicated.
"Although Dao Mark is important, safety comes first!"
He reminded himself again!
...
After this incident, Yingyuan Island became peaceful.
Order was quickly restored, and Li An personally presided over the refining of the seal.
At the same time, he was also speeding up his cultivation.
The strange air on the South China Sea was very strong, which was a blessed land for him.
However, since absorbing the strange air of the corpse of the strange spirit, Li An looked down on it. The strange air mixed in the fairy wind of the South China Sea was difficult to obtain a trace of such pure strange air even if it was smelted for tens of millions of times...
Time flies.
Ten years passed in a blink of an eye.
In ten years, storms on the South China Sea became more and more frequent.
It felt like a storm was coming.
On this day, the elder Shui Changxiao of the Daoling Sect came again, but the saint Zhan Qingxuan did not come again.
"How is it, are all the things ready?"
Shui Changxiao got straight to the point.
Li An presented two seals and said, "Please have a look, senior... These two seals are needed urgently, and the corpses used are also at a lower level, so they have to be slightly weaker."
Shui Changxiao took a look and nodded, but didn't say anything, because this was an extra gift.
"Not bad. Elder Ying is thoughtful."
"The Saint once said that if you present these two, your island can officially become a member of our Daoling Sect. Elder Ying will not be unwilling, right?"
Li An said respectfully, "I'm more than happy to do so!"
Shui Changxiao said, "Very good, the island's elite young people, those with vigorous blood and vitality, you go and select three hundred people, and go with me to pay homage to the Sect Master, the old man, and he will have his own blessings and rewards."
Li An immediately followed the instructions, and soon, the three hundred young men were ready.
He took his people and prepared to leave with Shui Changxiao. Before leaving, Ying Meng'er and others saw him off.
"Elder, you must take care of yourself when you go."
Ying Meng'er bit her lower lip, "Elder has endured humiliation and borne too much for Meng'er... Meng'er will definitely practice hard and live up to the elder."
In the past ten years, under Li An's teaching, she has grown a lot, and she has come to understand Li An more and more, and has regarded Li An as her closest person.
In her opinion, Li An's trip was forced by the power of Daoling Sect, but he was also suffering for her. After all, she was the owner of Yingyuan Island. Li An had nothing to do with Yingyuan Island. It was only because he accepted her as a disciple that he got into so much trouble.
"Practice well."
Li An only gave one instruction and took people away.
...
It was a long time after he left.
"Master has done too much for me."
Ying Meng'er looked at the direction he left, still a little worried.
Ying Zidai stood side by side with her, sighed, and said:
"Elder Ying is a gentleman. With him, Yingyuan Island is safe."
"Meng'er, the master you worship is really good."
For so many years, Ying Meng'er never told Ying Zidai his true identity.
And Ying Zidai gradually realized that Li An really had no intention of plotting against Yingyuan Island. On the contrary, he was devoted to Ying Meng'er...
Thinking of how she had tried to seduce him with a mean heart...she couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.
...
Li An led his men and horses and left with Shui Changxiao, riding the waves all the way. Shui Changxiao took them to several other islands to recruit men and horses, and then continued to move forward.
Obviously, Daoling Sect absorbed more than just Yingyuan Island.
Moreover, they were all selected to be strong and strong!
At dusk, everyone saw a huge floating island!
The floating island has an area of hundreds of thousands of miles, and has no foundation connected to the seabed. It is like a lost land, floating aimlessly on the sea.
Around the floating island, the strong weird aura almost materialized, forming a thick gray fog, which made it difficult to see clearly.
When approaching the gray fog, everyone was even more frightened, because their consciousness was disordered.
"What is this place?"
"Is it the birthplace of weirdness..."
Everyone speculated.
And Shui Changxiao led them through the mist, and finally landed on this floating island after a while.
Everyone's eyes gradually became clear, and they found that the island was already crowded with people. At a glance, there were no less than ten thousand people!
All of them were elites from major cultivation forces on the sea.
"Quiet!"
Shui Changxiao shouted loudly, and everyone quieted down.
"This place is called Giant Tomb Island," Shui Changxiao introduced: "Master of our sect, in gratitude for your loyalty, I have given this place of opportunity to everyone to explore!" "To be honest, this is the place where an immortal fell and became a Taoist. It contains endless opportunities, but there are also many traps. It is extremely difficult to open them." After saying that, he suddenly condensed a powerful spiritual sword and slashed it towards the ground behind him. Everyone was shocked by the pressure of the powerful power, but when the spiritual sword fell on the ground, there was only a shallow layer of dust on the ground! There was not even a crack. "So powerful!" "This sword should flatten even a mountain range of 100,000 miles!" "The sand and gravel here have such great power?" Everyone exclaimed. "This place contains opportunities, but it is suppressed by the aura of the Dao. The destruction of spiritual power is extremely limited. It can only be excavated by manpower." Shui Changxiao said: "The leader of our sect has determined hundreds of directions. Please start excavating!" Everyone in the field looked at each other in bewilderment. "This...isn't it just catching us to be miners?" "It sounds good, but if there is any opportunity, it will be taken away by the Daoling Sect. We...are consumables!" "Too much..." Many people were indignant. This was completely different from what Shui Changxiao described to them. "Boom!" Suddenly, a terrifying aura fell, and several excited and indignant young men turned into meat paste in an instant! "I asked you to come here to dig graves. If you want to say so much gossip, you might as well go to the underworld!" Shui Changxiao said indifferently. At the same time, there were already four or five great powers looming around, and their auras were faintly ready to go. Everyone in the field changed their faces. They all understood... Now that they have fallen into a trap, they can't leave.
There is only one way to go!
Everyone had no choice but to follow the instructions of Daoling Sect, receive the special stone hoes and other tools that Daoling Sect had prepared long ago, and go to the designated points to start digging.
"No..."
Li An frowned slightly. The people caught by Daoling Sect as miners were basically small forces at the level of Huashen and Yuanying. There was only one refining-level force in Yingyuan Island!
Although Daoling Sect was powerful, the refining-level forces were considered large sects anyway. It was not right to let Li An and his people be miners.
"Elder Ying,"
Shui Changxiao landed in front of Li An, smiled, and said: "You are more familiar with the seals and have been dealing with strange air for many years, so there are a few places that need you to go and investigate."
"Please!"
It was quite polite, different from the attitude towards other forces.
Li An instantly understood that their Yingyuan Island... had other uses.
He did not refuse, and followed forward, walking straight to a gully on the Giant Tomb Island. The vegetation here was lush, and the strange atmosphere was even more complicated.
Faintly, Li An actually smelled a smell similar to that of a corpse of a strange spirit!
Is there a corpse of a strange spirit buried underground? He was quite excited.
In the past few years, Li An has been exploring the use of that strange air. He found that the power of using magic to drive the strange air is far better than the magic air!
Moreover, he also used the strange air to refine his body according to the method of the All Evil Art. It can be said that he has exceeded the original idea of the "All Evil Body" of the evil demon bosses such as Xie Shisi. Once successful, it will be a "strange body".
Once this body is fully developed, with the characteristics of the strange air, Li An can not only be immune to many spells, but also have a nearly immortal ability when fighting.
It will be very terrifying.
However, the corpse of a strange spirit is just a corpse after all, and the strange air contained is not much, which is far from enough to achieve the effect he wants.
Now there is still... If we can find a way to get it, it will be perfect!
"This place must be excavated, but there may be changes in the corpse of the alien spirit, so we need to ask Elder Ying to take charge in person. This is your seal, and you are the most suitable person to use it."
Shui Changxiao handed the two seals of black ice to Li An, and said: "The master and the saintess value you very much. Yingyuan Island is different from those dirty things outside. The saintess said that the alien soil unearthed here belongs to you. In addition, after this matter is over, you will be the heroes of Daoling Sect, and the master will have extra rewards!"
Yingyuan Island is still very useful to Daoling Sect, so we should use both kindness and force, and give Yingyuan Island some hope and benefits, so that they can work hard.
"Thank you, senior, thank you, the master and the saintess!"
Li An was grateful.
"Okay, you can start, I won't bother you anymore."
Shui Changxiao smiled, patted Li An on the shoulder, and disappeared immediately.
Li An turned around and looked at the three hundred strong men of Yingyuan Island behind him, and said: "Ying Gao, Ying Shi, Ying Jie, the three of you, each with a hundred men, dig from these three places..."
Li An pointed out the direction for them.
With just one glance, Li An had a rough idea of the number of the corpses of the alien spirits underground. After all, in the current spiritual world, perhaps he was
The only one who absorbed the corpse of the alien spirit.
No one knows the smell of the corpse of the alien spirit better than him.
The three positions he arranged are currently being dug randomly. He has to continue to observe the situation and make plans, mainly to find an opportunity to plot against the corpse of the alien spirit!
Immediately, all three hundred people started to move.
While working, everyone complained a little. The soil in this place was hard and solid, and their spiritual power was completely useless. They suddenly returned to the state of mortals, which made all these cultivators uncomfortable.
Even if they tried their best, they could only dig a shallow mark on the ground. It was really not easy!
"Not only that, this land is robbing everyone of their life energy..."
And Li An observed carefully and was even more shocked.
They could only dig by discarding their spiritual power and using their own strength. However, when digging, their life source actually flowed into the ground with sweat...
This was extremely subtle and almost undetectable. If Li An's life seed was not too heaven-defying, he would not have been able to see it!
No wonder they need young and strong men. If they call a group of old cultivators... it's not just a problem of not being able to work, it's a problem of shortening lifespans and dying!
This giant tomb island... is really weird.
The three hundred strong men from Yingyuan Island and the excavators from other forces are probably dead in the end... But Li An didn't say it. What does it have to do with him whether they die or not?
Not to mention Yingyuan Island, even if his biological descendants came, he would never care about it at this juncture!
Everyone has their own destiny!
...
In the past few days, Li An has been guarding this area, but gradually, he found that his actions did not seem to be particularly restricted by Daoling Sect.
After all, the people of Yingyuan Island belong to the "technical" type of workers among this group of miners, and as the supreme elder of Yingyuan Island, he can be said to be an "expert". He is most familiar with sealed objects and strange air, and even the people of Daoling Sect respect his opinions.
So, he has a certain degree of freedom of action. He wandered around other areas, leaning down from time to time to check, pretending to be checking for strange air, and occasionally giving Shui Changxiao one or two useful suggestions, Shui Changxiao trusted Li An even more.
"Hmm?"
Li An wandered around, but today he met a man who looked older and ordinary, but Li An could sense it clearly...
This man was actually Xun Dongfang!
The elder of the Demon Cult, a ruthless man of his generation...
When Li An entered Xuangui Peak, he followed Xun Dongfang for a while. He also taught Li An a lot of things, and even gave Li An some Yuan with Xie Shisi, Lin Xianxian, etc.
Now, he has hidden his identity and cultivation, pretending to be a small miner in the Nascent Soul Realm...
"He is almost a great man..."
Li An remained calm and evaluated Xun Dongfang's cultivation in his heart.
Obviously, benefiting from the fairy wind of the South China Sea over the years, Xun Dongfang's realm has also been greatly improved.
"Sure enough, Shangguan Shengxian has been infiltrating this place for so many years, and she has definitely gained something. She is also paying attention to the Giant Tomb Island."
Li An passed by, and suddenly a thought flashed through his mind, so he pointed to a huge stone and said, "There is something wrong with this stone. Come over here and split the stone and see!"
He pointed at a few people, including Xun Dongfang.
They looked at each other, not daring to refuse, and came over, but their faces were a little bitter, because the stone was really too big, and it was really difficult to split it.
It's so hard.
"Hurry up, what are you waiting for?"
The supervisor of the Daoling Sect next to him shook the whip, and Xun Dongfang and others had to grit their teeth to split the stone, shaking their arms sore and numb, sweating wildly...
And Li An saw that their life passing speed was indeed faster, and he couldn't help but leave with satisfaction.
Since he has some small power in his hands, can he not make it a little difficult for Old Xun?
...
In addition, apart from the people of the Demon Sect, what surprised Li An even more was that there were actually several disciples of Dao Zong among them!
They were all elites, and their auras were extremely well concealed.
"Dao Zong, Dao Ling Parrot, Shangguan Shengxian... What exactly is hidden under this giant tomb island?"
"Can the strange aura traces attract so much attention?"
Li An's heart became more and more serious.
…
In the blink of an eye, two years passed.
The gully where Li An was located had the most abundant strange auras. On this day, he finally dug out a lot of gray crystal soil.
These crystal soils contain a lot of strange auras!
"Such a strong strange aura..."
"My magic power has sped up automatically!"
Everyone gathered around to watch. Shui Changxiao also landed beside him, staring at the gray crystal soil, frowning, looking at Li An, and said, "Elder Ying, what do you think?"
Li An also pondered for a long time and said, "Senior, the unearthed object is a little different from what I expected. If we continue to dig down, I'm afraid we will dig out a strange corpse."
"No! We can't let the strange corpse unearthed at the moment, otherwise it will cause a huge wave. You must seal it! "
Shui Changxiao looked solemn and said, "This must be done!"
Li An's face looked a little ugly, but he hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and said, "Okay, I'll do my best... Next, I'll dig it myself!"
"If you really encounter a corpse of a strange spirit, you can also seal it in time!"
Shui Changxiao was satisfied after hearing this, and bowed to him, "Elder Ying, you have worked hard, I will ask the Saint for credit for you!"
"These gray crystal soils are also good things, and they all belong to Yingyuan Island--"
He smiled slightly and continued to speak.
Li An collected all the gray crystal soils, put most of them in the storage bag, and presented them to Shui Changxiao with both hands, saying respectfully: "Thanks to the support of Senior Shui, our Yingyuan Island has such a harvest and opportunity. This is just a small gift, not a filial piety..."
Shui Changxiao smiled and said, "I'm afraid this is inappropriate..."
The strange aura contained in this gray crystal soil is not as strong as the corpse of a strange spirit, but it is also very rare.
"What's wrong with that? If it weren't for Senior Shui's support, how could we have achieved what we have today?" Li An was very enthusiastic.
Shui Changxiao nodded with satisfaction and immediately accepted it. He leaned closer and whispered to Li An: "Elder Ying, this place is a bit strange. You need to take some spiritual medicine to replenish your life essence every day. You can gather more crystals. I will go back to the sect and ask for some precious pills for you."
Li An even saluted, "Thank you for your support!"
It seems that Daoling Sect is aware of the situation here, and if it weren't for the benefits given by Li An, Shui Changxiao would never tell Li An...
"You continue to dig from these places, and I'll dig this pit--"
Li An immediately spoke, picked up a special stone hoe, and jumped into the seven or eight meter deep pit.
...
