Chapter 460 Qinghudao Cave

Hearing this, Xiao Lin finally understood that this method of exchanging soul cards filled with monster spirits for caves is actually a way to encourage immortal cultivators to kill as many monsters as possible.

Of course, he sneered at the good intentions of the beautiful woman's words about the Yu Shui Palace. In his opinion, the expansion of territory for the human race was just perfunctory words. The real purpose of the Yu Shui Palace was naturally to expand the sea area under its control.

In addition, through this method, more immortal cultivators can be attracted to the Lei Shi Immortal City. Through the Lei Shi Immortal City, they can go to the depths of the Wan Yao Outer Sea to train and kill monsters. Once the number of immortal cultivators increases, it will naturally bring prosperity to the Lei Shi Immortal City. The tax revenue alone may make the high-level officials of the Yu Shui Palace smile happily.

However, Xiao Lin really admired the Yu Shui Palace's means of attracting people. Thinking that he was planning to go to the Wan Yao Outer Sea for trial, it was okay to take on this task. Even if he failed to complete it, it would only make up for the previous discount after the expiration of ten years.

Thinking of this, Xiao Lin naturally chose the second way. After receiving a crystal-clear green token from the beautiful woman, Xiao Lin also chose a somewhat remote island as his place of cultivation.

After paying 18,000 low-grade spirit stones, the beautiful woman gave Xiao Lin a silver token. Only with this silver token could he pass the restrictions on the island.

After completing the formalities, Xiao Lin took Jiang Yingxue and left the "Xianfuju" and walked towards the outside of Leishi Xiancheng.

Xiao Lin did not stay in Leishi Xiancheng for long, but quickly went out of the city gate with Jiang Yingxue. Xiao Lin wrapped Jiang Yingxue with the escape light and flew towards the northeast.

After a cup of tea, Xiao Lin looked at an island in the distance with a smile on his face. He pressed the escape light and landed directly in front of a pier on the island.

On these islands, there are small towns with mortals. Although the island chosen by Xiao Lin is a bit remote, it also has a large town with two or three hundred households and nearly a thousand people.

As soon as Xiao Lin landed on the dock, five or six strong men surrounded a fifty-year-old man and hurriedly walked towards Xiao Lin.

Xiao Lin's mind swept over a few people and realized that these people were ordinary mortals. Several of the strong men were body cultivators who practiced body refining techniques, but they were all the most basic body cultivators. They might be okay against ordinary mortal-level primary and intermediate monsters.

But if they encounter monsters above the high level of mortals, these people will be very dangerous.

"Chen Pengnian, the mayor of Qianhu Town, Qinghu Island, greets the immortal master." Without waiting for Xiao Lin to speak, the old man and several strong men took the lead in bowing to Xiao Lin.

"Is the immortal master going to practice on Qinghu Island?" After the old man finished greeting, he spoke again.

At this time, Xiao Lin also noticed that this island was really like a green gourd, thin in the middle and thick on both sides, and the thick sides were also different, one large and one small, corresponding to two connected mountains.

"I have rented the cave here and will practice here for a while." Xiao Lin nodded and said lightly.

"In this case, the old man will tell the residents of the town not to enter Hulu Mountain and disturb the immortal master's practice." Upon hearing this, Chen Pengnian's old face actually showed some joy.

Seeing the old man's expression, Xiao Lin naturally knew what he was thinking. Compared with the inner sea, the outer sea of ​​10,000 monsters is several times more dangerous, especially for mortals living in the outer sea, they are always facing the threat of monsters in the sea.

Although the Qinghu Island is protected by the spiritual light ban of the Thunder Stone Immortal City, it only has a strong killing power against those monsters above the true level, and the ban of the Thunder Stone Immortal City cannot eliminate the large number of low-level monsters one by one.

Therefore, almost every year, some low-level monsters will flow to the nearby islands, rush into the mortal villages and towns, and devour them.

The body cultivators in the town are all at the beginner level. They can deal with a small number of mortal monsters of the beginner and intermediate levels, but if they encounter a large number of low-level monsters or monsters of the higher level, then it is likely that the body cultivators will die.

If there are immortal masters on the island, it will be different. Under normal circumstances, immortal masters will naturally not care about the life and death of mortals, but if the villagers in the town offer some spirit stones every year, these immortal masters are still willing to protect them.

Moreover, the immortal masters have a long life span. As long as they live on the island, they usually live for more than ten years or even decades. For them, they can enjoy a long period of peaceful life.

"I have an unwelcome request, and I hope the immortal master can agree?" After guaranteeing that the mortals in the town would not disturb Xiao Lin, the old man immediately made his request.

Xiao Lin could naturally guess most of it, and he smiled warmly, "Mayor, please speak."

After a slight hesitation, Chen Pengnian said, "Although our Qianhu Town has also trained more than a dozen body cultivators, we can still deal with a small number of mortal-level primary and intermediate monsters, but if we encounter higher-level monsters, there will be many casualties. Therefore, I beg the immortal master to protect us when we are attacked by monsters within our ability. Of course, our Qianhu Town will offer 500 low-grade spirit stones every year to honor the immortal master."

Hearing this, Xiao Lin thought to himself that it was exactly as he thought. He had encountered such a scene when he first came to the East Territory.

If Xiao Lin hadn't kept the Soul Devouring Fire Gu in captivity, he might not have agreed. After all, once he went out to sea for training, Jiang Yingxue would be left alone, and she would not be able to deal with those monsters.

However, with the Soul Devouring Fire Gu, as long as there were no emperor-level monsters, the Soul Devouring Fire Gu could basically kill them easily, and it was almost impossible for an emperor-level monster to appear within a thousand miles of the Thunder Stone Immortal City.

Thinking of this, Xiao Lin naturally agreed readily, and the mayor also chose to leave after thanking him profusely.

After the mayor and others left, Xiao Lin's body appeared with dark green light, and he took Jiang Yingxue to fly towards the back mountain.

After flying for twenty or thirty miles, the two came to the foot of a mountain. In front of them was a mountain hundreds of feet high. Most of the mountain was dark brown rocks, and the rest was covered with lush flowers, plants and trees.

Looking at the small forest in front of him covered by white mist, Xiao Lin smiled slightly and took out the silver token. The moment he took out the token, the forest in front of them immediately disappeared, and the white mist also dissipated, revealing a clearing surrounded by fences.

At the end of the clearing, near the foot of the mountain, there was a dark cave against the rock wall.

The four ancient seal characters "Qinghu Cave Mansion" were engraved on the top of the cave.

Xiao Lin's mind went deep into the cave, and he instantly felt the whole cave clearly. This cave was more than 20 feet deep. It was divided into a small living room, a training room, a lounge, and a refining room. It was simple and tidy, and it also exuded a faint dragon tongue fragrance.

Xiao Lin had seen this kind of spice before. Some female cultivators liked to place a piece of dragon tongue incense in their caves to drive away poisonous insects and keep the caves dry.

As a male cultivator, Xiao Lin never cared about this, but after a little thought, he found that this ready-made cave was really suitable for Jiang Yingxue.

"Yingxue."

"Master." Hearing Xiao Lin calling her, Jiang Yingxue quickly retracted her eyes that were looking around, and trotted to Xiao Lin.

"From today on, this cave is yours. You must work hard and don't slack off." Xiao Lin pointed to the cave in front of him and said.

"What about you, Master?"

"Me? I will go there to open another cave. During this period, I will go to Leishi Immortal City to take a look. You should work hard in the cave. If you have any questions, you can come to me at any time as long as I come back."

After speaking, Xiao Lin walked towards a stone forest next to him. After passing through the stone forest of more than ten feet, Xiao Lin found that behind the stone forest was a small valley of several dozen feet in size. At the end of the valley, there were two towering ancient trees, each of which was as thick as several people hugging.

Not far from the middle of the two ancient trees, there was also a cave, but after Xiao Lin's divine sense exploration, he found that this cave was only a few feet deep and was full of dead grass and feathers.

Xiao Lin glanced at the place where a piece of bark on the trunk of one of the ancient trees had been worn away, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

This place seemed to be the place where the last person who cultivated here kept a captive spirit beast.

Now that the person has left, the spirit beast naturally followed him and left this cave.

The location of this cave is good, just right for opening a cave for himself. Thinking of this, Xiao Lin opened his mouth slightly, and a Qingluan Ice Sword shot out, then turned into a dark green sword energy about ten feet long, and shot into the cave...

After spending most of the day, Xiao Lin was satisfied to take back the Qingluan Ice Sword. The original cave was expanded a lot by it, and of course, more important was the inside.

In the cave, several dozen feet deep, Xiao Lin opened five stone chambers, which were connected by doors, and these five stone chambers were prepared by Xiao Lin for cultivation, rest, alchemy, refining and raising spirit beasts.

After entering the cave, Xiao Lin looked around and showed satisfaction on his face, but when he entered the spirit beast room, he was surprised.

It turned out that there was a faint white mist in the spirit beast room. After feeling that the white mist was condensed spiritual energy, Xiao Lin first pondered, and then showed a happy expression on his face.

He carefully searched and surveyed the spirit beast room. After half an hour, Xiao Lin stopped in a corner of the spirit beast room. After a little contemplation, he opened his mouth and spit out the Qingluan Ice Sword, slashing towards the rock crevice in front of him.
