Chapter 329 Qilin Island
Half a year later.
Qilian Company's Abyss-crossing Dharma Ship sailed smoothly on the Black Sea, getting closer and closer to Qilin Island.
The situation above the Black Sea is treacherous, with all kinds of hurricanes and waves emerging one after another, and there are all kinds of ferocious sea beasts lurking in the deep sea.
These sea beasts would attack passing ships on the sea from time to time. Even though there were many monks on the Abyss-crossing ship, they were still tortured.
During this long sea journey, the fleet experienced several crises and finally sailed away from the dangerous waters.
In one of them, they even encountered a large group of bloody sea sharks, numbering in the thousands. The leading group of more than a dozen bloody sea shark monsters had reached the late second level, and were as large as a hundred feet long.
Once it hits, it will sink to the bottom of the sea.
If it hadn't been for a sudden storm at sea, the French ship of Qilian Company almost encountered a group of sharks head-on.
Even so, everyone on the boat was really sweating.
Capsizing a ship in the Black Sea is no joke.
Han Yuan and the other three also looked nervous. It was obviously the first time they had encountered such a thing.
"It seems that traveling to Dajin is really not easy. Not to mention the long journey, the only passage is also full of dangers."
"Forces without any strength can't get through it at all."
Qin Ming stood on the deck, looking at the rolling waves and the endless black sea, and said with emotion.
"That's natural. Except for the Yuanyuan Dharma boat specially made by the Jin Dynasty, other ships cannot withstand the wind and waves in this sea area."
"That's why even the notorious pirates don't dare to go out on the Black Sea."
"The most dangerous ones are natural disasters and sea monsters."
Gao Feng, a thin middle-aged monk, stood next to Qin Ming and explained with a smile.
Qin Ming nodded, recalling what he had experienced during this period.
In the past six months, his cultivation and farming have not fallen behind.
After all, he now owns the blessed land of Little Spirit Realm, where he can practice and farm anytime and anywhere, which is very convenient.
The natal spiritual plant Yin Yang Xuanteng is also growing vigorously.
There is no need for Qin Ming to care about the three spiritual beasts. They have the third-level top-quality spiritual vein environment, and they are all working hard to cultivate independently.
Taking advantage of this period of time, the Sky-eating Rat was sent to farm by Qin Ming, and went to the uncultivated areas of Xiaoling Realm to open up wasteland.
This makes it complain inside from time to time
Qin Ming was blowing some air on the deck.
Just then.
On the entire Dharma ship, another warning sound, as loud as a bell, suddenly sounded.
"Everyone, please go back to the cabin and take shelter. The sea ahead will pass through the Jueling Mist area, which is about five hundred miles away."
"Again, everyone."
When Qin Ming and others heard this, they also frowned, turned around and returned to the cabin, closing the doors and windows tightly.
"I dare to ask Fellow Daoist Han, could this strange fog be the same as the swamp in the north?" Qin Ming asked.
Han Yuan sat down, took a sip of tea, and explained calmly: "Exactly, the sea area we are passing now is located in the northeast bordering the Land of Absolute Spirits. Affected by the weather, strange fog occasionally spreads to the sea."
"But fellow Daoist Lu, don't worry. The Abyss-crossing Dharma Ship is guarded by a special protective array and is basically safe."
"Oh, the swamp in the north turned out to be called the Land of Jue Ling." Qin Ming suddenly understood and nodded.
At this time, Liu Ye, the plump woman next to her, also chuckled and explained: "The Land of Jue Ling, as the name suggests, is the place where the mysterious mist can swallow up the magic power in the monk's body until it is exhausted and dies. Even Jindan Zhenren can't bear it. Resist this corrosive force.”
"I see."
Qin Ming nodded, and this time he had a rough idea.
Half a day later.
The Qilian Company's Abyss-crossing Dharma Ship passed through a gray fog that made it invisible. The monks inside looked out and saw an eerie and terrifying aura, as if it was about to swallow everything.
Qin Ming silently released a ray of spiritual thought, looking towards the strange fog outside the window, but the next moment, he was shocked to find that his wisp of spiritual thought, which was comparable to the perfect golden elixir, was instantly swallowed up by the gray fog and disappeared without a trace. No trace.
He quickly retracted his thoughts, a pale look on his face.
‘It seems that the strange fog in this magical land is really powerful, even several times stronger than the foggy illusion on Moon Moon Island. ’
It seemed that he noticed something strange about Qin Ming.
Han Yuan, who was sitting opposite, asked aloud: "Do you feel uncomfortable, Brother Lu?"
"It's okay, maybe I'm not used to traveling across the ocean like this, so I'm a little tired." Qin Ming said with a dry smile.
The silver-haired old man Han Yuan nodded when he heard the words, took out a bottle of elixir from his arms and handed it to Qin Ming: "This is also normal. When I went to sea, my reaction was worse than yours. After all, not everyone can do it for more than half a year. Get used to it once.”
"This bottle of Fenglin Pill can relieve some fatigue."
"There is one more thing I want to tell Fellow Daoist Lu. When passing through the mysterious mist of the Absolute Spirit, you must not use your spiritual sense to pry. Otherwise, it will hurt your mind at worst, or your soul will be swallowed up and die. Remember this!"
Qin Ming broke into a cold sweat when he heard this, and almost killed the cat out of curiosity.
He wasn't pretentious. During the past half year, he had become very familiar with the three of them.
So he took the jade bottle, poured out a sweet and green elixir and drank it.
'It's actually a second-level elixir.'
…
A few days later.
Qilian Company's Dharma boat passed through the mist, and the sunlight outside shone on the boat again, and the previous gloomy atmosphere was swept away.
Gradually.
A huge island appeared in everyone's sight.
On the island, there is a huge volcano standing high, and thick smoke is constantly pouring out.
At first glance, it looks like a chimney standing on the sea, which is very eye-catching.
"Friend Lu Dao, Qilin Island has arrived!"
Han Yuan and the others looked at the island in the distance, their eyes showing joy, and they let out a long sigh of relief.
"It's finally here, but I'm suffocating myself to death."
"This job is really hard to do."
"When you return to the Merchant Alliance Headquarters and finish your work, you need to take a good rest."
"Fellow Daoist Lu, we hit it off right away, and we drank a lot of your fine wine. When we get to Dajin, the three of us will be our hosts, and we must treat you with a treat."
Han Yuan said to Qin Ming enthusiastically.
"Definitely."
Qin Ming responded with a smile, these three people from the Wandao Merchant Alliance didn't have many twists and turns, so they were still worth making friends with.
An hour later.
The entire view of Qilin Island continued to expand in Qin Ming's sight.
The French ship of the Qilian Company slowly docked at the island's ferry.
Hundreds of monks dressed in red and purple attire, with three intertwined flames embroidered on their armbands and lapels, which is the sect emblem of the Lihuo Palace.
It symbolizes the supremacy of the Yuanying Sect.
The monks stationed on the island from Lihuo Palace appeared at the port and began to check the identities one by one.
After verifying the identity and handing over the torch order to the island.
Qin Ming also followed everyone to the island.
The moment he stepped into Qilin Island, he suddenly felt a strong and extremely hot breath blowing towards his face.
Everywhere you look.
Although there is no grass growing on this island, it is covered with black and gray rocks and ash left after the volcanic eruption, which is mottled everywhere.
But--
"Such a rich fire spirit."
"This is a pure third-order high-grade fire attribute spiritual vein!"
For a moment, he was also secretly surprised, sighing at the miraculous creation of Dao.
I instantly felt that my trip was not in vain.
"I didn't expect that there is such a place of flames on the endless black sea, and it also has high-level spiritual veins. It is really spectacular."
Hearing Qin Ming's emotion, the tall and thin monk Gao Feng came over and said with a smile: "Friend Lu Dao, you don't know that this Qilin Island was discovered by a powerful Nascent Soul who tried to cross the Black Sea."
"Don't look at the desolation on the island, but in fact, apart from the third-order high-grade fire spirit veins, it is extremely rich in various spiritual mineral resources."
"In particular, it is rich in a kind of unicorn jade crystal, which is a rare spiritual material. It is of great use in refining elixirs, growing spiritual plants, and refining weapons."
"The toll revenue from the teleportation array is only a small part, and the resources on the island are the big part."
"It is also an important place for Lihuo Palace. After all, the geographical location of Qilin Island is extremely critical. The teleportation array on the island connects Dajin to various worlds of immortality. It is an important hub."
Qin Ming listened to Gao Feng's introduction and looked inside.
Then a layer of blue protective formation appeared in front of Qin Ming. Inside were countless houses and buildings made of black black stones, connecting two large areas, with stone roads extending in all directions in the middle.
There were many monks shouting inside and working hard to sell various goods.
This made Qin Ming feel a different kind of humanistic style.
"Fellow Taoist who is passing by, come and take a look!"
"The newly released mid-level second-level deep-sea demon eel is an indispensable tonic for body-refining monks. It also has the effect of being invincible with a golden gun, and it only costs nine-nine-eight!"
