Volume 1: Winds Rising From the Mountains and Swamps Chapter 213: Deserted Island
"The tsunami is coming, change the sails quickly, and go full speed ahead!" Master Jiao didn't care about his age, and climbed up from the deck, shouting hoarsely.
On the fiery red sea, layers of waves gradually rose and grew, and were coming one after another; at the beginning, there were only white waves, but in just a moment, they rose more than ten feet high; one wave after another, layer upon layer, endless.
In a flash, there were waves over several feet high, and the momentum was fierce! There was also a hurricane roaring across the sea.
Lin Yi sighed secretly, and his head was a little dizzy. What happened today? Is it inevitable?
"Quick! Quick! Quick--!"
Master Jiao's voice was broken by the continuous roar. However, no one of the disciples of Tiger Shark Hall cared about these. In the strong turbulence, they used their best efforts to quickly change the new sails, and all the large and small sails on the sea ship were pulled up.
Behind the ship, the huge waves rolled up by the tsunami were like countless beasts, all rushing over.
The ship could not withstand the impact of the huge waves, and the bow suddenly lifted up. Even when Lin Yi thought the ship was going to sink, the bow suddenly jumped out, got rid of the swallowing of the huge waves behind it, and rushed forward at full speed——
…
The ship was like a race with the beasts running behind it, going with the wind, not knowing the sun and the sky, just running desperately on the sea...
I don’t know how long it has been, everyone has forgotten this unbearable torment, just keep moving forward, don’t stop, just keep moving forward!
…
The wind has become gentle at some point. The sea has also become calm. A layer of light clouds ignited in the sky behind, making the sea surface in front of everyone become particularly bright!
On the deck, exhausted disciples were lying in all directions. In the cabin, the disciples who were vomiting all over the place also crawled out with sallow faces, and collapsed on the deck like the disciples of Tiger Shark Hall.
Everyone's face was full of emotion of surviving a disaster! Only a few people with slightly deeper skills followed Meng Shan to the deck to take care of those fellow disciples who were in a state of depression.
Compared with the others, the master and apprentice of Zhen Yuanzi did not look abnormal, but they looked a little tired. The three of them saw that Lin Yi was fine and went forward to greet him. Yuan Qing was about to speak, but Lin Yi sent a message to tell them not to be polite in front of others, and then he bowed to Elder Jiang and went back to the house to rest alone.
After several hours of fear and several full-strength attacks, Lin Yi also felt tired. Back in the house, he pinched the hand gestures to activate the formation, sat cross-legged on the couch, took out a spiritual stone, and breathed quietly.
...
The Tianlong Sect's sea ship suffered a series of twists and turns, the hull was damaged, and the people were extremely tired. Fortunately, the sea was calm for several days, and the ship was drifting on the sea, waiting to find an island to dock for a good rest.
Lin Yi also had a rare few days of quiet cultivation.
In the cabin, Lin Yi slowly opened his eyes and looked down at the spiritual stone in his hand. The originally white and shiny spiritual stone has turned into a handful of stone chips.
Five days of continuous absorption, consuming a piece of spiritual stone, and his own cultivation has also steadily increased. Lin Yi firmly believes that if there are enough spiritual stones and enough time, it may not be difficult to break through the seventh level of cultivation!
Unexpectedly, after the storm and the tsunami, Lin Yi helped the ship get rid of the crisis with all his strength, and his own spiritual power was also consumed. Unexpectedly, after a few days of quiet cultivation, he not only recovered his energy, but also slightly increased his cultivation.
In this way, Lin Yi was quite happy. Because of the "Forging God Mirror", his spiritual consciousness was able to go further with his cultivation. Now, his spiritual sense can reach six or seven miles away. If Elder Jiang knew about it, I wonder if he would be surprised.
What made Lin Yi even more relieved was that the Xuantian Shield showed its power at the critical moment, which gave him a new understanding of his own means of saving his life. But the tripod talisman thrown by Elder Jiang was a bit interesting. It was similar to the jade pendant he refined. I would like to ask him for advice in the future.
Lin Yi flipped his palm, and the jade piece and ring he got on Ying Island appeared in his hand. He had used his spiritual sense to check these two small things that day, but knew nothing about them. It was just that his spiritual sense was blocked, which made him feel that the two objects were extraordinary, so he stayed to slowly ponder.
His spiritual sense once again immersed in the jade piece in his hand. The small jade piece was as difficult to distinguish as clouds and fog. After trying for a while, he still couldn't find the right method. Lin Yi tilted his head and suddenly remembered a familiar scene. When he used his spiritual sense to check the Golden Dragon Sword, his spiritual sense was also blocked. In this case, could it be that there is also a formation in this jade piece?
Lin Yi picked up the ordinary-looking ring again. It was called a ring, but it was just a ring with some dirt and rust on it, bearing the traces of time. He applied force with his fingers, and the dirt and rust of who knows how many years were peeled off by his fingers, and a complete ring appeared in his hand. The ring was dark in color, with faint patterns on it.
After looking at it for a while, he used his spiritual sense to check it again. The same result, the ring was shrouded in a layer of mist, and the spiritual sense could not enter at all.
What on earth is this thing, such a small piece of jade and a ring, and there is a formation guarding it? Lin Yi shook his head, put the ring on his finger, and tried to bend his finger, but he didn't find any difference. He pondered for a while, but still got nothing.
Lin Yi suddenly raised his head curiously and looked outside the cabin. He simply put away the things on hand, removed the formation, and walked out of the room!
The ship was full of people, with a look of joy on their faces, each looking forward! A string of islands of different sizes appeared on the sea under the rising sun.
As soon as Lin walked to the corridor of the three-story boat building, he saw Elder Jiang, Elder Meng, and Hall Master Jiao were there. After exchanging pleasantries with each other, Elder Jiang stretched out his hand and threw out a small cloth bag.
As soon as Lin took it in his hand, he looked at Elder Jiang in surprise and said, "This is..."
Elder Jiang held his long beard in his hands and looked like a kind elder. He had already anticipated Lin Yi's reaction. He smiled and said: "Thanks to Fellow Daoist Lin for helping me that day! You must know that gold and silver are of no use to you and me, but these spiritual stones are difficult to collect in Dashang. These are also some of my thoughts. Fellow Daoist Lin, keep them to yourself, which is better than nothing. Bar!"
Hearing this, Lin Yi hurriedly raised his hands and said, "Since Elder Jiang is so kind, Lin Yi is being disrespectful!"
Lin Yi was secretly happy. There were ten spiritual stones in the bag, which was exactly what he needed urgently. Elder Xu Shijiang also knows that it is not easy to absorb spiritual energy. As a fellow believer, it is useless to talk too much. It is better to give a few spiritual stones to him.
Elder Jiang was not rich in spiritual stones. He had collected them all over the years. In addition to using them for the cultivation of his three elder brothers, he also had to leave some behind as a way to travel east. To be able to send ten spirit stones is considered a good intention.
Looking at the island getting closer and closer, Lin Yi asked: "What is this place?"
Meng Shan on the side shook his head, his voice a little stiff: "These places cannot be found on the chart in the hand of Hall Master Jiao. Perhaps, the storms in recent days have caused us to deviate from the course."
"It doesn't matter if we have materials, we'll just wait for the wind to go with us!" Hall Master Jiao said.
Elder Jiang held Yin Xu in his hand and said: "In this vast sea, course deviations are normal. As long as there are people around, the ship will eventually reach the other shore! However, the ship has to dock for repairs, does Jiao Rang care?"
Jiao Rang, Hallmaster Jiao, cupped his fists and said: "The mast and sails need to be repaired, and the damaged parts of the bow need to be repaired. Fortunately, there are duplicates of the masts and sails, so there is no need to worry. I have ordered my disciples to choose Larger islands have been docked so that everyone can rest for a few days. However, it is not yet known whether these islands are inhabited or dangerous, so the disciples must be more careful. "
"You and Meng Shan are acting cheaply, and having Taoist Fellow Lin along with you gives me more peace of mind!" Elder Jiang hugged Lin and said, "In front of Fellow Taoist Lin, I always rely on my old skills. At my age, I like to be quiet but don't like to move. , I still need your care in everything!”
"Elder Jiang, you don't have to be like this, Lin Yi knows it well!" Lin Yi responded quickly.
While the few people were talking, the ship had slowly passed several small islands. There were some trees on the islands, but at a glance they were clear and clearly not suitable for docking. After traveling forward for half a day, we still couldn't see any larger islands, but the ship entered a sea area surrounded by islands.
Next to several connected islands, a natural pier was unexpectedly found, and the sea ship slowly approached it.
The gangplank was put down on the ship, and everyone stepped onto the beach one after another, looking up at this strange place. Above the three or four islands in a row, the sun was climbing overhead. There are more than a dozen large and small islands surrounding it from the north to the south, some of which are only more than ten feet high above the sea. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are rocks.
This sea area surrounded by islands has a radius of more than ten miles. If it is truly a work of heaven, it would be a wonder on the sea!
Where the ship docks is an island to the east. It is covered with mountains and forests, but within a radius of only one or two miles, it is also an inaccessible desert island.
When everyone got off the boat, someone was carrying tents, cooking utensils and other items. It seemed that the Tianlong Sect was going to stay here for a few days.
Lin Yi followed the others off the boat, and his consciousness instantly enveloped the island in front of him. There is indeed no human habitation on the island. There are only some water birds perched on the trees and among the rocks. There are also a few small snakes and lizards hidden in the crevices of the rocks. Apart from that, there is nothing else on the island. It's just that the rocks are only twenty or thirty feet high, but the trees are lush, and some of the treetops are still bearing unknown fruits.
Several disciples found a rocky low-lying area and screamed in surprise. A small pool formed by rainwater provided a place for everyone to drink water. Others try to climb up the fruit-bearing trees and do some greedy things.
Not long after, the island was filled with disciples walking around.
