Chapter 288 Merman, new cultivation direction?
Thousands of feet high in the sky.
Falcon flapped its wide light blue wings, maintaining its figure in the turbulent wind.
Lu Xuan stood on its back, looking down.
The islands are densely populated with different sizes. The sea surface extends along with the islands, boundless, and has a magnificent beauty under the golden sunlight.
"Finally arrived at Kongming Island."
Lu Xuan looked down at a large island located in the forefront of the archipelago, and muttered to himself.
After he left Linyangfang City, he did not go to other places. He followed the route drawn by the Zongmen and came to the vicinity of Kongming Island in two days.
He put away the Feng Falcon and slowly landed on Kongming Island.
Kongming Island stretches for hundreds of miles, and there are many jagged and strange rocks on the island. Only in the center of the island are there many monks and mortals.
Lu Xuan walked on the Qingshi street.
There is a sea breeze blowing from time to time, and there is a faint salty smell in the cool room.
There are many monks on the street, mainly low-level qi training, occasionally one or two middle-level qi training monks, and none of the high-level ones.
The monks on the island are obviously different from those in Linyangfang City. They wear rough and wild clothes, and their exposed skin is tanned and shiny.
There are many stalls on both sides of the street, and the goods on them are also very distinctive.
"Fellow Daoist, come and have a look. There are a lot of silvery algae. They are freshly picked from the sea. You only need three spirit stones per catty."
A dark young man next to him saw Lu Xuan looking at the things in his booth, and greeted him warmly.
In his booth, there is a large pile of silver seaweed, and the seaweed still has a moist smell, like a large group of wet silver hair.
"What is this silver algae used for?"
Lu Xuan grabbed a group of silver algae and asked curiously.
"After being air-dried and crushed, it can be used as a refining material for many elixirs."
"So that's the case, but I don't really need it right now."
Lu Xuan declined and continued to wander the streets.
Not only spiritual plants, but also the monster materials, magic tools, and talismans on the booth are all unique.
Many monster materials can be seen from the sea at first glance. There are sea fish, turtles and sea beasts of various shapes, almost all of which contain strong water-type spiritual power.
Magical artifacts and talismans are also closely related to the sea area, and Lu Xuan saw many magical artifacts and talismans of the imperial water type.
"Huh?"
While wandering around, Lu Xuan suddenly stopped in his tracks and stopped in front of a booth.
At the booth, two dying sea beasts were locked.
The shape of the sea beast is weird, the lower body is not much different from that of sea fish, with dense green and black scales growing, and a pair of short webbed feet.
What surprised Lu Xuanlue was that the upper body of the sea beast in front of him was somewhat similar to that of a human.
Green pupils, a flat nose, many sharp teeth protruding from the lips, from time to time, light green saliva dripped to the ground, and a stench came over his face.
Although it looks extremely ferocious, its facial features have obvious human traces.
"Excuse me, fellow daoist, what is the origin of this sea beast?"
The stall owner is a stout man with a long, centipede-like scar on his face, showing a fierce look.
"Fellow Daoist, this is a merman who lives in the deep sea. My companions and I worked hard to get these two ends. They can be used for domestication, and they can also be used to obtain various materials directly from the body."
"Merman...why are they somewhat similar to the human race?"
Lu Xuan resisted the urge to try to feed the merman, and continued to ask.
"It is said that there is a kind of shark in the deep sea, which lures monks into the trap, and they have **** by force, and finally give birth to such a monster that is neither human nor beast."
The stall owner pondered for a while, and explained to Lu Xuan.
"Mating across species? Breaking through reproductive isolation?" Lu Xuan thought subconsciously.
"When monsters of different breeds and bloodlines mate with each other, what offspring will they produce?"
He seems to have discovered a new direction of cultivation. When cultivating spiritual plants, he induces the spiritual seeds and changes the growth environment of the spiritual plants, thereby causing them to mutate.
If you want to change the blood of the spirit beast, it seems that you can consider it from the hybridization of spirit beasts.
Lu Xuan secretly thought that he might experiment with it if he had the opportunity.
The possibility of mating spirit beasts of different bloodlines to give birth to offspring is almost zero, and there are many dangers in the process. However, Lu Xuan can grasp the detailed status of the spirit beasts, and presumably can make corresponding adjustments at any time, greatly increasing the success rate.
He continued to wander the streets for a while, and came to the central area of Kongming Island.
"Tell you island owners, the Heavenly Sword Sect is here."
In front of a majestic building, Lu Xuan said to a monk guarding the gate.
"Sky Sword Sect? Yes, yes, yes! The little one, let's go!"
The gatekeeper friar was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized that he scrambled into the building.
Soon, there was a sound of chickens flying and dogs jumping in the building, and immediately, a large group of monks came out in a hurry.
"I didn't know that senior was coming, and I was far away to welcome you. Please forgive me, senior!"
The leader was an elegant cultivator with pale cheeks. He practiced Qi at a high level. When he saw Lu Xuan, he felt the fluctuation of his spiritual power in the foundation-building realm.
The ten or twenty people behind also saluted respectfully.
"The visitor is Song Yu, the owner of Kongming Island?" Before coming here, Lu Xuan learned a little about Kongming Island. He knew that Kongming Island was managed by a small family with the surname Song, and the owner of the island was named Song Yu. .
"It's the next one, I don't know how the seniors got it?"
Song Yu took a peek at Lu Xuan, and asked solemnly when he saw the unique identity plate of the inner disciple of Tianjianzong that he had taken out.
"Lu Xuan, but I heard that your Song family has some connections with Youtian Sword Sect. You can just call me Master Uncle. There is no need to make such a distinction."
"Yes! Uncle Lu, please come in."
The elegant monk welcomed Lu Xuan into the majestic building.
There are many small families similar to the Song family, most of which were established by the exposed disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect.
Many outer sect disciples had no hope of breaking through, and failed to advance to the foundation establishment realm many times. Dispirited, they left the sect and spread their branches outside.
The family thus established has a close relationship with the Zongmen, attached to the Zongmen, guarding a certain place for the Zongmen, providing various alchemy refining tools and cultivation resources, each takes what it needs.
When Lu Xuan was still in the Qi training stage, he went to solve the pest problem once, and that small family was in the above situation.
The same is true for the Song family, but their influence is much stronger.
"During the handover period, how was the situation on the island? Didn't Kongming Lingyu encounter any major accidents?"
Lu Xuan walked in the front, and asked Song Yu who was one position behind him.
"Everything is business as usual. The master uncle made careful arrangements before leaving. During this period, although there is no master builder on the island, it is quite stable."
"There were two waves of poaching of small sea beasts in the offshore area where the empty ghost fish were raised, but we repelled them all and none were stolen."
Song Yu lowered his head and replied respectfully.
