Chapter 541: Thank you, master
White Deer Lake is a volcanic lake with very deep water.
After Gu Zheng and Lian Yuxin entered the water, they have been diving.
Although Lian Yuxin is an immortal cultivator in the late stage of returning to the void, she has not refined the 'natal true water', so diving in the lake is not as easy as Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng looked like she was going down the stairs, and she was covered by a layer of immortal power on her body, using immortal power to control the rise and fall in the water.
The water is very clear, there are some fish, there are also some aquatic plants, and the food level of these things can occasionally be seen at the ordinary level.
Gu Zheng and Lian Yuxin quickly dived to the bottom of the lake, and then Gu Zheng plunged his immortal power deep into the mud and began to crack the immortal array below.
This immortal array is a bit difficult, but when the machine spirit was detected, it also looked at how to crack it by the way, in order to facilitate the ancient dispute later.
As for what kind of prohibition there is after this immortal array, the machine spirit did not go deeper to explore, after all, the time she can probe in depth is only two minutes, and she also wants to see if she can find some treasures or something for Gu Zheng in a limited time.
In addition to discovering the treasure of this White Deer Lake, in two minutes, the machine spirit also discovered some ordinary-level ingredients, as well as an island in the sea protected by the immortal array.
Therefore, after exploring the treasures of Bailu Lake, Gu Zheng also had to go to that overseas island to see what he would find there.
The immortal array at the entrance of the treasure was cracked by Gu Zheng, and a bright light penetrated the thick silt and appeared in the water, forming a pattern of light array.
The silt at the bottom of the water seemed to be squeezed out by an invisible force, as if it had been pushed by someone, and left the range of the light array.
After about three minutes, the silt on the immortal array was cleaned up, revealing the hard magmatic rock underneath.
"Boom ......"
The magma rock cracked a gap, and even the lake water was separated, Gu Zheng took Lian Yuxin down the gap, and the gap closed again, and the separated lake water also became its original appearance.
The crack that Gu Zheng and Lian Yuxin entered was very deep, and as they walked along the gap, the temperature became higher and higher, and the temperature of the magma became more and more intense.
A moment later, Gu Zheng and Lian Yuxin came to the front of a stone door.
There is an immortal array on the stone gate, this immortal array Gu Zheng has never seen it, and it can't be opened after trying it, so let Lian Yuxin try her formation immortal weapon.
Lian Yuxin took out the bead-like formation immortal weapon, and with a movement of his mind, he activated the magic power of the immortal weapon, and a slight light flickered on the bead, and even the light of the immortal array on the door also flickered at the same frequency.
About ten minutes later, Lian Yuxin already knew the way to crack the immortal array, she entered the immortal power into the immortal array on the door, and soon opened the immortal array.
"Boom ......"
The stone door opened, and a dusty current of heat swept in.
Gu Zheng's hundred poisons automatically opened the shield without invading the clothes to resist the fire poison in the heat flow, and even Yuxin's body originally had a fairy power shield, which was from the fire poison of lava, and it couldn't do her any harm.
The world behind the door was a fiery red, like a lava lake, with a stone passage leading to the stone wall at the end of the lava lake. Underneath the stone wall is a platform on which a large chest rests.
"It's such a big box, I don't know how many treasures are put here!" Lian Yuxin exclaimed.
"Really?"
Gu Zheng looked sideways, looking at Lian Yuxin with a smile.
"Master, why are you looking at me like this?" Lian Yuxin smiled a little embarrassed.
"I wonder if you're going to wait for me to go forward, and then sneak up on me and kick me into the lava?" Gu Zheng smiled, as if he had seen something very interesting.
"How come, sir, don't be kidding!"
That being said, even Yuxin suddenly launched an attack on Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng just smiled, and when Lian Yuxin's palm was about to slash into his face, his eyes closed and opened, and everything in front of him was different.
Lian Yuxin stood beside Gu Zheng well, but his eyes were closed, and on the platform at the end of the magma lake, there was indeed a box, but it was not as big as the one he saw just now.
In fact, from the time Gu Zheng and Lian Yuxin stepped into the door, they had already fallen into an illusion.
There are many ways to see through the illusion, the most direct of which is that the cultivation is high enough, the spiritual power is strong enough, and the illusion can feel the difference as soon as it appears.
The spiritual power of the immortal cultivator is the divine thought, and the divine thought of Gu Zheng is undoubtedly powerful, for him, the intensity of the illusion experienced this time is not as powerful as the illusion of the thousand-year-old clam on Ziyan Island.
Since he knew that it was an illusion, Gu Zheng was naturally not afraid of Lian Yuxin's attack, and as soon as his eyes were closed and opened, the illusion was broken.
It took about half a minute for Gu Zheng to break the illusion, and even Yuxin broke the illusion.
"There's even a fantasy!"
Lian Yuxin, who opened his eyes, smiled at Gu Zheng.
Lian Yuxin's divine thoughts were not as good as Gu Zheng, so he got out of the illusion relatively late, and he couldn't see through it immediately. However, after all, Lian Yuxin is an immortal cultivator in the late stage of returning to the void, and her divine thoughts have been strong to a certain extent. And the stronger the divine thought, the easier it is to find the broken formation in the illusion.
"Let's go and see what's in the box. β
Gu Zheng smiled slightly, and walked through the magma lake through the stone passage.
The ban on the box was opened by Gu Zheng, but there were not as many things inside as expected.
Some refining resources that are not of high grade, as well as a bottle of elixir whose name is unknown, a piece of jade slip and three resources that can be used as ingredients.
"Well, that's all there is. β
Lian Yuxin sighed, looking very disappointed.
Gu Zheng was also disappointed, after all, the grade of the three ingredients was only an ordinary level.
"Damn it, didn't you take away the treasures of the legendary Yingzhou Twin Immortals?" said Lian Yuxin again.
"Legends are just legends after all, and if you are serious, you will lose. What's more, it should be common sense to ascend into the flood and take all the resources with you. And they were able to leave some pills and refining resources for those who were destined, which was already good. Gu Zheng laughed.
"Okay!"
Lian Yuxin smiled embarrassedly, since she was forced to join Emei by Gu Zheng, she always felt that when facing Gu Zheng, her IQ seemed to have dropped a lot, and many times what she said was blurted out without thinking about it.
"All the materials for these refining tools will be given to you, and as for this jade slip, I think it's better to ruin it. Gu Zheng asked.
"Well, the divine thoughts of the Yingzhou Twin Immortals are really not needed. Lian Yuxin's face turned slightly red.
The Yingzhou Twin Immortals are not righteous monks, one of their best methods is the 'Collecting Technique', back then on Goryeo Island, they were like emperors, I don't know how many women they have harmed.
Moreover, the so-called Yingzhou Twin Immortals are just self-proclaimed, and in everyone's hearts, they should be more appropriately called 'Yingzhou Twin Demons'! After all, the exercises they practice are mainly evil arts.
Although even Yuxin also cultivates evil arts, it can't be compared with the evil arts cultivated by the Yingzhou Twin Immortals, and the evil arts she cultivates are not harmful to the heavens and reason, and they are also required by the refiner's profession.
Gu Zheng exerted force in his hand, and the power transmission jade was simplified into powder, and he began to walk back, his brows furrowed slightly.
Although it is normal that there is no harvest in the treasure, it is inevitable that there is still some bad taste in Gu Zheng's heart, after all, this treasure is found by the machine spirit at the cost of damaging itself.
"I hope that island in the sea can give me something different, otherwise I'm sorry for you. β
Gu Zheng looked inward, looking at the small garden where the machine spirit was, the machine spirit that was originally alive and kicking was now sleeping on the big stone, and it had been like this since her divine thoughts returned.
"Actually, it's not bad, after all, you still harvested two high-grade ingredients from those two immortal cultivators!" "The machine spirit's eyes slowly opened, and he said very tiredly.
"You didn't fall asleep, did you?" said Gu Zheng.
"Not yet, I'm just fixing myself with my eyes closed, but now that the necessary repairs have been made, it's about to fall into a seven-day slumber. β
The voice of the machine spirit paused, and his eyes slowly closed: "I'm so sleepy, you've been fine for the past seven days." β
"Don't worry, you can sleep!"
Listening to the weak and sleepy voice of the machine spirit, Gu Zheng's heart was a little uncomfortable, after all, this little girl had been with him since the day he picked up the Immortal Order.
After leaving Yingzhou Mountain, Gu Zheng flew towards the island in the sea with Lian Yuxin.
I have to say that the place where the machine spirit explored in two minutes was really big, and Gu Zheng and Lian Yuxin flew for a long time before they flew to the place that the machine spirit said.
There was a blue wave in front of him, and there was no vision at all on the surface, but Gu Zheng knew that he was not in the wrong place, after all, the machine spirit had left the mark in his mind.
"Is it really here?"
On the way to follow Gu Zheng, even if Yuxin didn't want to be curious, she couldn't help but be surprised, she really couldn't imagine how Gu Zheng knew that there was an island here!
Is it really detected with divine thoughts?
Even Yuxin couldn't imagine what kind of divine thought this was, so that she could first find the treasure of White Deer Lake without her being aware of it at all, without affecting the battle, and then flew to this place where even her divine thoughts explored, but she didn't find anything.
It is not surprising that even Yuxin can't detect the Island Protection Immortal Array, and Gu Zheng can't detect it either, because this Island Protection Immortal Array is a high-level Island Protection Immortal Array.
Gu Zheng has seen islands with immortal formations that protect the island, including Fog Wind Island, Blood Tide Island, Ziyan Island, and Chaoxia Island. The Island Protection Immortal Array of these four islands, the Island Protection Immortal Formation of Fog Wind Island and Blood Tide Island belong to the Intermediate Island Protection Immortal Array. Ziyan Island and Chaoxia Island, including the islands that have not yet been set foot on, use high-level island protection immortal arrays.
The Intermediate Island Protection Immortal Array, even if there is no occasional mist outside, it can also be detected with the divine thoughts of returning to the Void Realm. However, the high-level island protection immortal array is different, with the cultivation of the Returning to the Void Realm, it is impossible to discover its existence at all, even if it is a divine thought that transcends common sense with the ancient struggle! If you want to detect its existence, unless it is an extremely special divine thought of the machine spirit, or a divine thought of the Golden Immortal Realm.
When the Instrument Spirit Divine Mind explored this island, it was almost at the limit, so he didn't help Gu Zheng find a path through the Island Protection Immortal Array.
"Use your formation immortal weapon!" Gu Zheng said.
"Hmm. β
Lian Yuxin responded, and after taking out the formation immortal weapon, he immediately activated its magical power.
The light on the formation immortal weapon flickered, and after a while, through the path of the island protection immortal array, even Yuxin already knew.
After walking around the sea with Gu Zheng for a while, the sight of the two of them changed suddenly, and an island in front of them came into view.
Since the divine thoughts of the machine spirit did not penetrate deep into the island protection immortal array, they naturally did not know the situation on the island, so Gu Zheng did not know what would be waiting for them on the island. However, as an island that can be protected by the high-level island protection immortal array, this island is at least not barren.
"Master, do you guess there will be people on the island? Will there be an immortal cultivator sect? Will it be easy to talk?" Lian Yuxin asked three questions in a row.
"There are no fishing boats on the sea, and it is unlikely that there are ordinary people on the island. β
Gu Zheng's voice paused, and then he said: "Let's go, just go to the island and have a look." β
Gu Zheng and Lian Yuxin flew to the island, their eyes couldn't help but widen, there was no one on the island, but there were many people, but these people were all lazily lying on the beach basking in the sun, they were all undressed, and there were even more than a dozen pairs of men and women, who were still beside as if there was no one.
"Thisβ"
Lian Yuxin didn't know what to say, and turned his head to look at the way he came.
"Get it all up!"
Gu Zheng shouted loudly, like a thunderclap, and more than 200 people basking in the sun on the beach jumped up at once, looking at the sky in horror, but they didn't know the slightest shame, as if it was a matter of course to be naked.
"Who is your leader?" asked Gu Zheng.
These people in front of them look different from the Orientals, and the language used by the ancient contendence is naturally different. In fact, not only the people on this island, but also the people on Chaoxia Island, even that Jin Guangyao spoke Goryeo. However, for immortal cultivators, learning a few languages is really a very simple matter.
"Immortals, immortals!"
"God has eyes, God has eyes!"
"Immortals, immortals, you're finally here!"
"Great, we're saved!"
From a cave on the island, several old men and old ladies with crutches in their hands rushed out.
These old men and old ladies were so old, and they were all dressed in animal skins, and they excitedly climbed to a high ground on the mountain that resembled an altar, and knelt down at Gu Zheng with a 'plop'.
Gu Zheng stretched out his hand, and the old man and the old lady were held up by an invisible force.
"Tell me about the island. β
Hearing Gu Zheng's voice, the excited old man hurriedly told Gu Zheng about the island.
The name of the island is 'Bi Tao', and in the era of Shengfa, there lived a very powerful immortal cultivator on this island, as well as his eighteen servants.
Later, when the immortal cultivator came back from outside, he was seriously injured, and then he entered the cave to retreat, and never appeared again.
The eighteen servants were male and female, but none of them had any cultivation, and if the immortal cultivators did not appear, they would not be able to leave Bitao Island at all.
In the years of waiting for the immortal cultivators to come out, the eighteen servants also gave birth to descendants, and then generation after generation has survived to this day.
There is no shortage of food on the island, and everyone can't go out, and the reproduction from generation to generation has also made these islanders degenerate from generation to generation.
There is no shortage of food and drink, the temperature is suitable, there is nothing else to do, and it is an island where it is impossible to get out, and most people or pleasure are only left to satisfy their instincts.
In fact, it's not just the people of Bitao Island like this, when Jin Guangyao first entered Chaoxia Island, there were not a few islanders there.
However, the products of Asaka Island are not as abundant as those of Bitao Island, and the islanders still need to run for food, plus Jin Guangyao has ruled Asaka Island for decades, and under enough pressure, the people there seem to be fundamentally different from those on the beach of Bitao Island.
The area of Bitao Island is not smaller than that of Asaka Island, but there are only more than 400 islanders on Bitao Island, and the number of people is only a quarter of that of Asaka Island.
In fact, whether it is Chaoxia Island or Bitao Island, the people who understand it, that is, those in power, are deliberately controlling the number of people.
As the islanders who once belonged to the immortal cultivators, the immortal cultivators also told them how to use contraception. Even later, the immortal cultivators on the island were gone, but the methods that worked were still handed down.
After all, the resources on an island are limited, and once there are more people, some people will starve, and it is also a very wise move not to let them multiply.
Take Bitao Island as an example, the vast majority of the islanders have degenerated to the point of eating and waiting for death, but the 'House of Elders' that has been handed down will still pick out a group of people and carefully teach them to be an understanding person. And the old man and the old lady who told Gu Zheng these things were members of the 'House of Elders'.
The old man and the old lady had already told Gu Zheng everything he wanted to know, and then they looked at Gu Zheng with hopeful eyes, waiting for Gu Zheng to take them out of this cage where they could only eat and wait for death.
"I won't take you away this time, but from today onwards, you are already my people, remember my name, my name is Gu Zheng! After a while, I will send someone over and let them manage Bitao Island on my behalf, and at the same time, I will also send you supplies to satisfy your desire to go to the outside world to see!"
"Thank you, thank you immortals!"
"No, it's supposed to be thank you!"
"Thank you host, thank you host!"
Several old men and old ladies knelt down at Gu Zheng with tears in their eyes, they really didn't expect that they would have the opportunity to leave this cage in their lives.
After talking to the old man and the old lady, Gu Zheng and Lian Yuxin went to Bitao Island.
"It's really good, this time the head of the family has harvested another island and some islanders, and the resources on this island are really very rich!" Lian Yu said in his heart.
"Yes, fortunately, there are no immortal cultivators on this island, otherwise it would have taken a lot of effort, and now all of this is the same as picking it up for nothing!" Gu Zheng sighed.
