Chapter 537 Spiritual Herbs

There is a cave on Zhaoxia Island. This cave should belong to the previous owner of Zhaoxia Island.

Although Jin Guangyao has the formation-breaking immortal weapon, he can enter Chaoxia Island and take it as his own, but he is not an immortal cultivator himself and cannot break the seal on the gate of the cave that requires immortal power to break.

In other words, there is an unopened immortal cultivator's cave on Zhaoxia Island waiting for Gu Zheng. This is the first thing that makes him happy.

Jin Guangyao acquired Zhaoxia Island fifty years ago, and Zhaoxia Island is not an empty island. There are also islanders on it, and there are more than four thousand in number.

Before Jin Guangyao landed on Zhaoxia Island, more than 4,000 islanders lived in a closed environment and lived a very simple life, farming and fishing.

There is also a small sect on the island. This sect has a very similar development history to the Tianxin Sect. They also brought out some things left behind by the immortals on the island from the ruins on the island, and thus embarked on the path of cultivation. the way.

However, the sect on Zhaoxia Island was very small, and its highest level of cultivation was only at the late third level. It had been wiped out by Jin Guangyao who landed on Zhaoxia Island.

In order to open the cave on Zhaoxia Island as soon as possible, Jin Guangyao practiced a magic technique that could speed up the progress of cultivation. To practice this kind of magic, you need to use formations to absorb the essence and blood of others, and even eat people every once in a while.

It was precisely because of the need to practice magic that Jin Guangyao left more than 4,000 islanders for him to exploit after wiping out the sects on Zhaoxia Island.

The more than 4,000 islanders of Jin Guangyao were the second thing that Gu Zheng was interested in. These islanders were simple in nature and lived in a very closed environment. They had no contact with the outside world at all, because they had no contact with the outside world at all. Know how to pass through the Immortal Formation protecting the island.

Jin Guangyao's oppression made them live in dire straits. If someone rescued them at this time, then they would definitely be grateful to the person who rescued them.

For Gu Zheng, the more than 4,000 islanders raised by Jin Guangyao may contribute some pure faith to him.

The next day Gu Zheng set off for Zhaoxia Island, and at the same time asked the people from Wufeng Island to send a boat to wait at a suitable place to pick up the islanders from Zhaoxia Island. After all, there are more than 4,000 islanders, and it is impossible for Gu Zheng to fly them back to Wufeng Island.

Gu Zheng set out at night, and in the early morning of the next day, he had already flown outside the immortal formation protecting the island on Chaoxia Island.

With Jin Guangyao's memory, Gu Zheng passed the island-protecting immortal formation without any trouble at all.

From Jin Guangyao's memory, Gu Zheng learned that Zhaoxia Island was larger than Wufeng Island, its area was almost the same as that of Blood Tide Island, and its products were also very rich.

After Gu Zheng entered the waters of Zhaoxia Island, he saw several fishing boats already fishing at sea.

Jin Guangyao treats the islanders as 'sheep' and raises them to drink blood and eat meat, but he usually does not restrict the 'sheep''s freedom. After all, 'sheep' also need to live.

Seeing a stranger flying into Zhaoxia Island, the islanders fishing on the sea all opened their eyes in shock. They were either frightened or curious about Gu Zheng's identity.

Gu Zheng flew near the fishing boat, stretched out his hand to roll up these people, and took them to continue flying to the island, leaving behind screams all the way.

After flying to the island, Gu Zheng rang a big bell on the island. This bell was a tool used by Jin Guangyao to summon the ‘sheep’.

When they heard the bell ringing, everyone rushed to the village square. Many of them had just gotten up from their sleep and still looked disheveled. In the understanding of these people, the sound of the bell is an alarm. If you run slow, you will be beaten severely by Jin Guangyao.

Seeing that the person ringing the bell was not Jin Guangyao, but a young man standing in the air, the islanders whispered to each other about the situation.

"quiet!"

Gu Zheng spoke, and although his voice was not loud, it reached everyone's ears clearly, scaring them into silence immediately.

"Your last master, Jin Guangyao, was killed by me for his many evil deeds. You don't have to worry anymore. Some people will use formations to absorb your essence, some will drain your blood, and some will disappear inexplicably. "

After Gu Zheng finished speaking, he threw Jin Guangyao's head down.

When everyone saw that the demon that tormented them was really dead, at first they just looked at each other and did not dare to say anything. After a while, they met and said nothing. Some people started crying, some cursed, and some cheered. , all kinds of expressions, really everything.

After letting the islanders vent their emotions for a while, Gu Zheng spoke again: "I killed your original master, but I am also your new master! As for whether you recognize me as your master or not, this is completely your freedom. , I won’t force it.”

If people in the real world, freedom and dignity are very important things, but for the islanders of Asaka Island, freedom and dignity may also be important, but they really cannot be compared with people in the real world.

What is freedom?

The islanders who have never left Asaka Island know that the scope of freedom is limited to living unrestrained on Asaka Island.

What is dignity?

Being ruled by Jin Guangyao for more than 20 years, the so-called dignity has been almost worn away. Now Gu Zheng, a man who can stand in the sky, talks to them in a calm tone. This is already very dignified for them. .

What is the master?

Unlike people in the real world who reject the word "master", the islanders of Chaoxia Island have no big reaction to the two words. Some of them have been worshipping the people in the original sects on the island as their masters since they were born. Later, the master changed to Jin Guangyao. Now, even if they change their masters again, it is very normal for them.

"I will give you time to think about this matter. When I leave Chaoxia Island, those who are willing to go with me, I will take you to another island to live with my islanders and live a peaceful and tranquil life. Those who don't want to go with me, you stay on this Chaoxia Island."

"We are willing!"

"Immortal, take us away!"

"We don't want to live here!"

As soon as Gu Zheng's voice fell, most people shouted.

Although the islanders live in an isolated place, they have seen cultivators after all, and they also learned from the cultivators that those who can fly are immortals.

However, simple contact can make most people follow Gu Zheng. The reason for his immortal identity is actually very small. The more reason is that this Chaoxia Island is not safe.

Jin Guangyao has three other fellow apprentices, and they will come to Chaoxia Island regularly to drain the islanders' spirit and blood. If they still choose to stay on Chaoxia Island, who knows who will be the next to disappear.

"Okay, since most of you are willing to go with me, just pack up and I'll leave for a while."

Gu Zheng flew towards the direction of the cave after he finished speaking.

Looking at Gu Zheng flying away, most of the islanders were excited. Having a powerful and kind master might not be a bad thing.

As for whether they would be deceived to a darker place, the islanders did not consider it at all, because the immortals had no need to deceive them.

On the hillside of the highest mountain on Chaoxia Island, there is a protruding rock, which is the door to the cave.

Landing on the protruding rock, looking at the sea below, feeling the different immortal essence, Gu Zheng couldn't help but smile slightly.

This is a rare spiritual place. No matter whether it is Wufeng Island, Xuechao Island, or Gu Zheng's Ziyan Island, there is no such spiritual place suitable for building a cave.

After all, the so-called spiritual place will be exhausted. Places that were not spiritual places before may also become spiritual places. For example, Wufeng Island, Xuechao Island and Ziyan Island definitely had spiritual places in the past, but later those spiritual places were exhausted. Unlike this spiritual place on Zhaoxia Island, there is still abundant spiritual energy that can condense the immortal essence in the air.

"Such a spiritual place is very suitable for building a gathering array!" The spirit of the weapon said.

"Unfortunately, I can't build a gathering array like the one in the Tianluo Cave treasure. The gathering array I can arrange is just a simple one. Even if it is arranged here, it will not play a big role and cannot condense too much immortal essence." Gu Zheng sighed.

"Others have become picky eaters after eating the food you cook, but you have also been spoiled by the Juyuan formation there after experiencing the Tianluo Cave treasure. Although the Juyuan formation you can set up now cannot condense too much immortal essence, you can still make do with a medium-grade meal by building a low-level Juyuan formation and condensing immortal essence for more than half a year." The spirit of the weapon said.

"Just as you said, I have really been spoiled!"

Gu Zheng laughed and then said, "However, after exploring this cave, I must set up a Juyuan formation! With such a beautiful place, it would be a waste if I don't set up a Juyuan formation."

As soon as the voice fell, Gu Zheng began to break the restrictions on the door of the cave. This time, he did not ask the spirit of the weapon how to break it, because the restrictions on this door were the same as the restrictions on the door of the Tianluo Cave treasure, and he was already familiar with it.

The cave was the same as the cave he had experienced before, with side rooms for various purposes on both sides of a long passage.

Generally speaking, if you find something in a closed cave, it is usually in the training room, where there may be treasure chests left by the owner of the cave.

However, Gu Zheng did not find anything valuable in the training room. Its owner cleaned it up very cleanly before leaving.

Although he did not find the expected treasure chest in the training room, he had a very good harvest in a side room.

In the cave he had experienced before, Gu Zheng had also seen the "spiritual grass room", but there was nothing much in it except soil.

However, the "spiritual grass room" discovered this time actually had six spiritual herbs growing in it!

All six spiritual herbs are Ganoderma lucidum, and there are six colors: green Ganoderma lucidum, red Ganoderma lucidum, yellow Ganoderma lucidum, white Ganoderma lucidum, black Ganoderma lucidum, and purple Ganoderma lucidum.

The quality of the six kinds of Ganoderma lucidum is not high. They are considered to be more common goods in the Ganoderma lucidum family, and the food grade is usually ordinary.

However, the six Ganoderma lucidum in the ‘Immortal Grass Room’ have grown for thousands of years, which has enabled them to grow from ordinary ingredients to the current excellent level.

The six Ganoderma lucidum can grow from the prosperous era to the present, thanks to a spirit gathering array in the ‘Spirit Grass Room’.

The spirit gathering array is of intermediate level. It is because it slowly releases the immortal essence needed by Ganoderma lucidum to improve its quality that it can allow them to survive the end of the law era and still be alive and well until now.

Besides, since the six Ganoderma lucidums have been kept alive until now, there is immortal essence in the air again. The immortal essence condensed in the intermediate spirit gathering array that was about to run out is almost equivalent to a full low-level spirit gathering array.

"Although I didn't get any treasure chests or anything like that, I got six excellent resources, which is really good." Gu Zheng said with a smile.

"Be careful when picking Ganoderma lucidums. These six Ganoderma lucidums are still alive, and their quality has reached excellent, which meets the conditions for transplanting into the prehistoric space. You transplant them into the prehistoric space to continue growing. I guess the medicinal effect can be enhanced when you use them."

Gu Zheng, who was about to harvest Ganoderma lucidum in a barbaric way, became cautious immediately after hearing what the spirit of the instrument said.

"I was thinking of setting up a low-level spirit gathering array here, but now it seems that there is no need for this. There is already an intermediate spirit gathering array here."

Gu Zheng licked his lips and took out some ingredients from the prehistoric space.

Since there are still immortal essences in the intermediate spirit gathering array, it would be a waste not to use them. Gu Zheng is going to make a top-grade Yuan-increasing food to absorb these immortal essences.

The grade of Yuan-increasing food is naturally lower than that of immortal fruit food and Dan Yuan food. The reason why Gu Zheng chose to make a top-grade Yuan-increasing food instead of a mid-grade Dan Yuan food is that according to the calculation of the reserves of immortal essences in the Yuan-gathering array, the top-grade Yuan-increasing food can make better use of it than the mid-grade Dan Yuan food.

With six medium-quality ingredients and five ordinary-quality ingredients, Gu Zheng quickly made a top-grade Yuan-increasing food.

After opening the Yuan-gathering array, Gu Zheng immediately took the Yuan-increasing food, enjoying the feeling of his pores opening and madly absorbing immortal essence.

About fifteen minutes later, the effect of the Yuan-increasing food ended, and the immortal essence released from the Yuan-gathering array was also absorbed by Gu Zheng.

Because the concentration of immortal essence cannot be compared with the Juyuan formation in the Tianluo Cave treasure, and because the types of food cultivation are different, when Gu Zheng absorbs these immortal essences, it is naturally impossible for one second to be equivalent to several months of cultivation in the Shengfa era like in the Tianluo Cave.

"It is really not easy to advance in cultivation now. Although the immortal essence of this Juyuan formation cannot be compared with the one in the Tianluo Cave treasure, it is almost equivalent to a full low-level Juyuan formation. However, my four-level 70% Tiexian Jue has only progressed to one-twentieth." Gu Zheng sighed.

Gu Zheng's current Tiexian Jue is not only one-twentieth full of four-level 70%! What he said means that a top-grade Yuan-increasing food cultivation, plus a low-level Juyuan formation, only fills one-twentieth of his four-level 70% Tiexian Jue. And the real situation of his Tiexian Jue is that the four-level 70% is already one-third full!

After all, when the last Juyuan formation in the Tianluo Cave treasure was used, Gu Zheng's Tiexian Jue was upgraded to the fourth level and 70%, and there was still a lot of surplus immortal essence to be absorbed! Just the surplus immortal essence alone has already made his Tiexian Jue almost one-third of the fourth level and 70%, and the harvest just now just filled up that one-third.

"Be content, this cultivation progress is already very fast!" The spirit of the weapon rolled his eyes.

Gu Zheng shook his head and said, "Is it really fast? Don't forget that there will be a big battle on Xuechao Island during this year's Zhongyuan Festival!"

"How could I forget? No matter what your cultivation is at that time, your cultivation progress is very fast, this is really a fact."

The spirit of the weapon stuck out his tongue at Gu Zheng, with a big attitude of playing tricks and saying whatever I say is what it is.

Gu Zheng ran to argue with the spirit of the weapon again, but his brows frowned because he heard the bell on Zhaoxia Island ringing again.

The bells on Chaoxia Island would not ring for no reason. Generally, when the bells ring, it means that Jin Guangyao or his fellow apprentices are going to practice magic and need to summon the islanders to extract their spirit.

"It can't be such a coincidence? Jin Guangyao's fellow apprentices came to Chaoxia Island at this time?" Gu Zheng said.

"What's impossible? Anyway, I don't believe that the islanders are just ringing the bells for fun!" The spirit of the weapon laughed.

When Gu Zheng flew out of the cave, he was also laughing. If the person who rang the bell was really Jin Guangyao's fellow apprentice, then this would be a great thing.

Gu Zheng had already seen the person who rang the bell, and it was the 'Second Brother' he saw in Jin Guangyao's memory.

Without rushing to fly down from the sky, Gu Zheng wanted Jin Guangyao's second brother to perform for a while. The more he performed, the more valuable the rescue would be! His appearance not only strengthened the islanders' determination to leave, but also allowed Gu Zheng to establish prestige among the islanders.

"Didn't you hear the bell ringing? You are all so hesitant, do you want to die?"

The fat and big-eared second brother cursed and waved a whip that was a foot long in his hand. The islanders who walked slowly screamed in the crackling sound.

Finally, all the islanders gathered in the square. The second brother smiled with satisfaction and pointed at the crowd.

'You, you, you, you, you..."

The second brother pointed at a hundred people with the best spirits. These people followed his instructions in fear and stood in a relatively open place.

The second brother walked around the crowd and stopped beside a good-looking girl.

"Hehe."

The second brother smiled obscenely and pinched the girl's buttocks with his claws.

"Sleep with me today, and I will exempt you from paying tribute."

The so-called tribute of the second brother is to extract the spirit and blood.

The girl was scared to begin with, and the second brother's words made her even more scared, and she screamed.

"Why are you screaming? It's not like you haven't slept before!"

Seemingly satisfied with the girl's scream, the second brother laughed even more happily.

"No, don't!"

The girl struggled to get rid of the second brother's clutches, but she couldn't get away at all. She cried out of anxiety and fear.

Suddenly, a young man in the crowd picked up a stone and smashed it on the second brother's head.

The second brother didn't even turn his head back, and with a wave of his hand, the young man was knocked out and lay on the ground spitting blood.
