Mortal Seeking Immortal

The jade tablet records that the small family that sent a call for help to the Spirit Beast Sect encountered a spirit insect called the poisonous tail black bee.

This spirit insect is a social spirit insect, carnivorous, with a sharp and highly poisonous stinger on its tail. It is fast and can instantly launch a stinger when encountering prey. The stinger can easily pierce the shield of a cultivator in the Qi training realm and corrode the cultivator into a pool of black water.

The poisonous tail black bee is huge in size. Some adult poisonous tail black bees can be as big as a small watermelon. Once they find prey, the poisonous tail black bees will attack in groups, exhaust the spiritual power in the cultivator's body, and then rush to eat the cultivator's flesh and blood.

This poisonous tail black bee looks ferocious, but it has a fatal weakness, that is, all the poisonous tail black bees must obey the queen bee, and because the queen bee has to reproduce offspring, her wings have degenerated, her body has become huge, and it is very difficult to move.

As long as the nest of the poisonous tail black bees is found and the queen bee hiding in the nest is eradicated, the group of poisonous tail black bees will retreat like headless flies, and the crisis faced by the small family will naturally be solved.

Although Ye Zhou already knew the weakness of the poisonous tail black bees, he was not careless. He first rushed to Wuji Mountain and took Xiaoshan with him to prevent any accidents. He also went to the market to purchase some high-quality insect repellent powder and other items to deal with the poisonous tail black bees.

When buying insect repellent powder, Ye Zhou saw that there were suddenly many new shops selling magic tools, elixirs, talismans and other items that could restrain the means of magic cultivation in the market. He remembered that the evil cultivation and magic ways in the outside world are emerging in an endless stream. In order to prevent being attacked by magic cultivators on the way, Ye Zhou also bought some magic tools specifically for dealing with magic cultivators for self-defense.

When leaving the market, Ye Zhou saw a familiar figure walking straight towards a shop that specializes in selling various spiritual woods.

"It seems that Hou Yuan is very interested in spiritual wood, but I don't know what he bought it for."

Spiritual wood is widely used in the world of immortal cultivation, but it is not very useful. Most of the spiritual wood can only be used to carve some tables and chairs, doors and windows, large and small wooden boxes, etc., and cannot assist in cultivation.

Although a small part of the spiritual wood can be used to refine magic tools, the price is not cheap. This leads to few cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation buying spiritual wood. Only some cultivators who are not short of spiritual stones will buy furniture made of spiritual wood to show their status.

The errand boy in this shop seemed to be very familiar with Hou Yuan. Seeing Hou Yuan coming here, he smiled and welcomed him in.

Because Ye Zhou adhered to the principle of acting cautiously, after leaving the sect, he changed the clothes of the Spirit Beast Sect he was wearing and slightly changed his appearance, so he was not noticed by Hou Yuan.

Ye Zhou looked at the shop that Hou Yuan entered with curiosity. He saw that this shop was located in the busiest area of ​​the market, and the shop was luxuriously decorated, which was not affordable for ordinary registered disciples of the Spirit Beast Sect.

Ye Zhou couldn't help but feel a little curious about Hou Yuan's identity, but he had to hurry on his way, so he didn't think too much and left the market in a hurry.

After leaving the market, Ye Zhou released the Dengxian Boat he bought, and the palm-sized Dengxian Boat floated quietly in the air.

Ye Zhou shot a spiritual power into the Dengxian Boat, and a white light immediately burst out from the Dengxian Boat. The boat body instantly became as big as a small mountain, and a series of magic arrays flashing with silver light shone brightly on the Dengxian Boat.

In the envious eyes of a group of cultivators outside the market, Ye Zhou flew onto the Dengxian Boat.

The Dengxian Boat is divided into two floors, each floor has more than ten extremely spacious rooms, with tables, chairs and benches in the room. There are tea sets, incense burners and other items on the table. There is even a magic array in the room to provide spiritual energy for the cultivators. Ye Zhou is very satisfied with this.

Standing on the spacious deck, Ye Zhou injected more than a hundred middle-grade spirit stones into the formation on the Dengxian Boat. As the spiritual power in the spirit stones was injected into the formation, the formation began to operate slowly, and the Dengxian Boat turned into a white light, and shot out into the distance with a whoosh.

In just a few breaths, the Dengxian Boat disappeared from the eyes of the cultivators.

Ye Zhou glanced at the spirit stones in the formation, and saw that the spiritual power in the spirit stones was flowing into the formation continuously and rapidly. At this rate, it would probably take most of the spiritual power in the spirit stones to reach the small family.

Moreover, the speed of the Dengxian Boat is not the fastest now. If the speed of the Dengxian Boat is accelerated to the fastest, I am afraid that the more than a hundred middle-grade spirit stones in the formation will not last long before the spiritual power in them will be exhausted. No wonder the shopkeeper specifically said that activating this boat consumes a lot of spirit stones.

Ye Zhou stood on the deck and looked at the scenery on both sides for a while, then randomly chose a spacious room on the Dengxian Boat, and put dozens of spirit stones into the magic circle in the room. Then he saw a stream of rich spiritual energy drifting out of the magic circle, instantly covering the whole room, and Ye Zhou began to sit in meditation to restore his spiritual power.

Along the way, except for encountering some sects and families who checked their identities, nothing else happened. After flying for half a day, the flying boat rushed to the periphery of the area under the jurisdiction of the small family. Here, Ye Zhou slowly stopped the flying boat. He was always cautious and planned to fly over and investigate the specific situation.

Tianlong Mountains are located in the northwest of Shengyun Country. This place is rich in resources and the spiritual energy is relatively thin. There are mostly docile monsters in the mountains and forests. There is a Xu family of immortal cultivators who have settled here for generations. Although the family is not rich, the clan members have some talent for planting spiritual plants. With the spiritual plants they planted, the Xu family members can often exchange some cultivation resources for the clan.

However, the Xu family's peaceful days were disrupted by the discovery of a small spiritual mine in the Tianlong Mountains a few years ago. In the world of immortal cultivation, it is stipulated that whoever discovers the spiritual mine owns it, so the spiritual mine discovered by the Xu family naturally belongs to the Xu family.

But there is more than just the Xu family living near the Tianlong Mountains. There are also several other small families with comparable strength to the Xu family, and a small sect called Qingwu Sect that is stronger than the Xu family.

These forces have always been at peace with each other. Although their disciples have conflicts from time to time, fortunately they are just minor fights and do not affect the relationship between the families.

After learning that the Xu family discovered the spiritual mine in the Tianlong Mountains, several forces led by Qingwu Sect began to stir up trouble, and seemed to want to join forces to eliminate the Xu family and divide the spiritual stones mined from the spiritual mine.

In order to prevent the disaster of extermination of the family, Xu Yunshan, the head of the Xu family, made a prompt decision. While the Qingwu Sect and other factions had not taken action yet, he took his clansmen to the Spirit Beast Sect overnight to manage relations, and promised the Spirit Beast Sect that four-fifths of the spiritual stones mined each year would be tributed to the Spirit Beast Sect, in order to obtain the protection of the Spirit Beast Sect.

After the Qingwu Sect and other forces learned the news, they regretted not taking action earlier, but since things had come to this point, they did not dare to target the Xu family anymore, and so the Xu family spent several more years in peace.
