[Rooster, June 6, Grain in Ear Day]
On the first day of being the island owner, I cut trees, chiseled stones, and plowed the land.
The Heyu clone and the Jianxiao puppet attacked together and cleared a space at the foot of the mountain in half an hour.
It's no wonder that the Crane Feather clone controlled its feathers to sweep away everything in its path, and its efficiency in chiseling stones was comparable to that of a wild dog digging a hole.
There is also the Jianxiao puppet, whose sword energy plows the ground. He is a veteran.
While working, the memories of the Yinshan Mine reappeared one after another, giving me a sense of déjà vu whether I was digging holes or cutting wood.
I made a rough plan and planned to set up the Four Symbols and Eight Trigrams Formation. I needed to use the Eight Formation Plate as the center of the formation and arrange sixty-four formations on the island corresponding to the positions of the stars. Then, I would constantly adjust the trigrams on the Eight Formation Plate wheel according to the changes in the stars.
Only in this way can the Four Symbols and Eight Trigrams Formation be maintained intact. If someone enters, the sixty-four transformations will make him climb up!
Zhenjun Fuyi also asked him to find a piece of meteorite from the sky, saying that after the pill was formed, half of the meteorite would be refined into the Eight Formation Plate, and then the remaining meteorite would be used to make sixty-four hexagram sticks to form a complete set of formation tools.
Then you will be able to form the Four Symbols and Eight Trigrams formation with a wave of your hand, just like Li Shenzhi.
I am not in a hurry to learn the formation. Just take it slow.
The most important thing right now is to find some leaves on other people’s islands.
…
[Rooster, June 11, sunny after rain]
A storm hit yesterday and all the wooden houses on the seven islands were destroyed. There was wailing everywhere, and only that bastard Li Shenzhi was laughing.
Fortunately, I was smart and dug a hole in the mountain directly. No matter how strong the wind was, I remained unmoved.
When the storm hit last night, the water spirit on the island suddenly became strong. The Ice Beetle King was alarmed and took me to dig all the way to the center of the mountain range, where we found a cold pond.
Unfortunately, the water in the cold pond was just a spiritual spring, not innate spiritual water. Although I said I didn’t expect to have another adventure, I was still looking forward to it deep down in my heart.
There seems to be a very small spiritual vein under the cold pond, and the water spiritual energy around the cold pond is particularly strong.
While practicing beside them, I felt that my weak and helpless water Taoist master had gained a little more strength, and dared to talk some sense with the four manic Taoist masters.
I set up my practice place next to the cold pond, and it is hidden and safe enough to set up the formation here.
Li Shenzhi came to me again, bringing a large amount of materials for alchemy and talisman making. He expressed great satisfaction with my last batch of goods and hoped for long-term cooperation.
I asked him to raise the money, but he told me that asking for money would hurt our relationship.
I said I have no feelings and only care about money.
We talked about the same things for half the afternoon and I was so tired that I still couldn't come to an agreement. This stingy man was very generous to his master and Tang Weimian.
My master returned at dusk and really only brought me six magic pills.
To thank my master, I asked him to help me move a mountain.
If I were to do it myself, it would probably take me half a year to complete moving mountains and filling the sea. But with my master around, it was done in no time.
All the surrounding islands have been changed into the Bagua formation. Now only the sixty-four formations are missing. Many pits need to be dug throughout the island and various formation tools buried.
I am extremely poor and can only rub the Five Elements Lightning Beads together by hand to form an array. I have consulted Master Fuyi before and she said I could give it a try.
The master came to say goodbye. He said that Qing Nangzi escaped from his hands that year. When he comprehended the Way of Heaven, he vaguely felt that this was a karmic disaster, so he wanted to end it early.
The Sanyuan Sect has deep roots in the North Sea and is also in collusion with demon cultivators deep in the outer sea, so this journey is extremely dangerous.
I can't help with this, I can only pray that Master is safe.
In addition, my master also told me not to worry too much about the innate water spirit. If I cannot transform it myself, he will help me find it in the open sea.
Master is so nice. I will definitely be filial to him in the future.
The master left, and so did True Lord Fuyi and True Man Lingjun. Only Li Shenzhi and True Man Fuyu were left to look after the Broken Star Islands.
From now on, watch the ebb and flow of the tide every morning to understand the meaning of water, and watch the changes of the stars every night to understand the way of the formation.
You also need to practice boxing, strengthen your body, and practice magic, and you can't slack off.
The most important thing is to practice subtle manipulation of spiritual energy 10,000 times every day.
Not once less, not once more.
The previous leaves have been used up and there has been little progress. I will go to other islands to pick some more.
…
[Rooster, July 15th, Ghost Festival]
He opened up a hundred acres of spiritual fields and made several farming puppets using low-level spiritual wood.
Late at night, the slope at the entrance of the cave is filled with bizarre farming puppets waving their eight arms, with green fireflies flying around, creating a strong atmosphere of the Ghost Festival.
The disciples of Tiangang Peak on the seven major islands are still setting up the formation day and night. The storm with lightning and thunder in the outer sea is getting closer and closer. It is estimated that the Xunfeng will blow within three to five days.
My cave is very safe, and the spiritual field is under the protection of the Eight-Layer Earth Element Array. I haven't planted any spiritual plants yet. I'll just have to see if I can withstand the Xunfeng before making any plans.
Come to think of it, the island here is so close to the open sea, and the Xunfeng wind blows once every three months, so how come the forest is still so dense
I decided to graft and cultivate several main ingredients of elixirs commonly used in the foundation-building period with shrubs on the island to see the effect.
The seven islands are now named after the Big Dipper. Only tree branches are left on Tianshu and Tianxuan islands. Today we will go to Tianji Island for a visit.
…
[Rooster, August 1, sunny day]
The Xunfeng came a few days later than expected, but it finally passed today.
The eight major formations failed to withstand the Xun wind, and the spiritual fields were in ruins and needed to be reclaimed.
It doesn't matter, they are all farming puppets doing the work anyway.
It seems that we need to quickly set up the sixty-four major formations, draw on the power of the stars, and connect them into the Four Symbols and Eight Trigrams formation to block the power of Xunfeng.
I dug up several plants and took them back to graft.
After plucking all the leaves from the three islands, today I have finally managed to fill the veins of a leaf with my fine manipulation of the spiritual energy. It has lasted for two breaths without collapsing. Let's keep going!
In addition, the "Thousand Leaves Hand", which I had never paid much attention to, has been upgraded. A third pair of leaves has grown in my sea of consciousness, and my sea of consciousness feels a bit cramped. This skill should have reached the limit of the foundation-building period.
…
[Rooster, September 9, Double Ninth Festival]
Looking from a high place, there is nothing to see except water.
After more than ten adjustments, the Four Symbols and Eight Trigrams Formation was finally set up today, and the amount of water in the cold pond was reduced by half.
True Lord Fuyi must have known that there was a spiritual vein under Bagua Island, which was why he did not mention the issue of the formation's consumption.
The light barrier was hidden among the stars, and the entire island looked unchanged from the outside.
But who dares to step in? Hum~
…
[Rooster, October 10, sunny]
Li Shen came to my house and learned that I had sold two drops of essence to He Wangchen and Tang Weimian. He wanted to buy shares and said that he would provide the demon pills, I would be responsible for refining them, and finally he would be responsible for selling them.
This fox Li is trying to make money from me by earning spirit stones. But it's impossible.
I had already asked He Wangchen to spread the word for me that I could exchange demon pills for essence, and I would pay the difference according to the standard price of Shanhai Tower.
Yuan Jing is extremely useful to cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage. With so many disciples in Tiangang Peak, they go to the outer sea border to hunt monsters every day.
If more than a dozen cultivators in the late stage of foundation building attacked together, it would be possible to kill a monster in the early stage of golden elixir by relying on the formation.
If they sell me demon pills, I will give them three high-level pills as gifts. After that, they can get certain discounts if they buy pills and talismans from me or ask me for help in refining pills.
As for the raw materials for alchemy and talisman drawing, Master Fu Yu would take a few disciples to other islands to purchase them every month.
Now everyone is more willing to give the raw materials to me for refining rather than buying them from Li Shenzhi.
Zhenjun Fuyi has instructed that each disciple should only be provided with the expenses for the first three months of training, and they should find a way to pay for the rest on their own.
Li Shenzhi can openly sell elixirs and talismans, so it's no problem for me to help everyone make elixirs and talismans.
Not long after Li Shenzhi went back, He Wangchen found me and said that I almost made his senior brother cry, and that his senior brother said that he had never seen an opponent as strong as me.
What do you mean we are evenly matched? It is obvious that I am more skilled.
I was thinking that I could actually write it on a wooden board and hang it up, offering barter opportunities, and ask the disciples of Tiangang Peak to help me collect the items I need.
In this way, I can stay in the cave to make pills, draw talismans and play with leaves, and concentrate on cultivation.
Heyu's clone went around the island patrolling and hunting down sea monsters that swam nearby, while Jianxiao's puppet lay in ambush in the dark and kept watch.
It's wonderful to be able to do three things at once.
Oh, it’s already dusk, let’s go watch the sea.
…
[Rooster, November 29, Storm]
The Seven Star Island was suddenly attacked by a large group of sea monsters, but escaped unharmed.
There are seven islands, with forty-nine formations on each island, a total of three hundred and forty-three formations forming the Seven Star Formation. When it is activated, wind, rain, thunder and lightning gather together, with a huge momentum.
The changes in the formation are endless, it is no longer a simple category of five elements, which is quite inspiring to me.
Tang Weimian successfully condensed the Qi Dan today and officially stepped into the peak of foundation building. A single spiritual root really has an advantage in this regard.
I feel like I'm almost there. Now, whether it's plundering the world, transforming water spirits or fusing spiritual energy, I feel like I'm just one step away.
Because of this, I have become easily restless recently. Only by reciting the two sentences on the Taihe umbrella while watching the sea can I calm myself down.
The Silk Control Technique has been upgraded to level four, only one level away from the maximum level. This is the result of frequently controlling the Jianxiao puppet and Heyu clone to fight each other in order to save spirit stones recently.
After the upgrade, I gained new insights. I found that the "Silk Control Technique" and the subtle control of spiritual energy taught by my master are similar in nature. One is the subtle control of spiritual consciousness, and the other is the subtle control of spiritual energy. We can refer to each other.
Also, when I used spiritual energy to replace the veins of leaves today, the leaves slipped out of my hands and fell to the ground. I tried to pick them up, and the leaves suddenly exploded with great power. Can I use these leaves to set traps
In addition, after studying the leaves for more than five months, the white vines produced by my wooden platform are becoming more and more realistic, and the aura on them is becoming weaker and weaker. Other spells are also more restrained during practice. The process of learning subtle control is subtly changing my habits of using spiritual energy.
…
[Rooster, 30th day of the twelfth lunar month, New Year’s Eve]
It was a great day for Master Lingjun to form his infant. The thunder and lightning in the deep sea around him were crackling continuously, and it sounded as lively and festive as setting off firecrackers during the New Year.
I hope Master Lingjun can successfully survive the thunder tribulation, and the higher the quality of his Nascent Soul, the better.
I have basically mastered the subtle manipulation of spiritual energy. The next step is to practice purifying demon pills. My heart bleeds when I think about how much demon pills I might waste at the beginning.
However, absorbing the purified demon pill and practicing can save me at least five years.
Compared with time, demon pills and spirit stones are worthless.
There are fireworks exploding over at Qixing Island!
The sea beasts are coming again
Oh no!
It must be Master Lingjun who is undergoing a tribulation and scaring the surrounding monsters. This time, it must be an out-of-control beast tide.
Go check it out!
