Chapter 1: Digging up the Innate Sword Body at the Beginning
There is no time in the immortal calendar, and no years in cultivation.
The Chaos Star Sea is vast and endless. There are countless islands on it, scattered all over the place.
Qingling Island, an ordinary small island on the Chaos Star Sea, is also the place where the Han family, who practice cultivation, thrives and reproduces.
"Master! The spiritual veins on the island are becoming increasingly exhausted. I'm afraid it won't last much longer!"
In the meeting room, the head of the Han family and the three elders were discussing.
The elder Han Jingshan, with a sad face, said the biggest dilemma at the moment.
The spiritual veins, in this borderland with thin spiritual energy, are almost the main source of spiritual energy in a region.
If the spiritual veins of Qingling Island are completely exhausted, the thin concentration of spiritual energy between heaven and earth in this borderland is not enough to support the cultivators to impact the higher realm.
The realm is stagnant, which is secondary. If the spiritual energy in the body cannot be replenished in time, there will be an inevitable crisis!
"If this continues, the path of cultivation for our Han family will be cut off, and we will eventually be destroyed..."
The one who spoke at this moment was Han Jingchuan, the second elder of the Han family.
Although there is only one Han family living and multiplying on Qingling Island, and there are no enemies, there are sea beasts in the Chaos Star Sea!
Those sea beasts like blood and often rush to the island to slaughter living beings.
If the Han family does not have a strong enough cultivator to sit in charge, or if the cultivator's spiritual energy is exhausted and cannot be restored in time, I am afraid that they will eventually die in the mouth of the sea beast!
The third elder Han Jingchen did not speak, but his brows were also frowned, and he was obviously troubled by this matter.
The person sitting at the first seat in the meeting room was not a white-haired old man, nor a middle-aged man with a big belly.
On the contrary, it was a young man, who looked relatively calm at this moment, and had a calmness in the face of danger.
It was the head of the Han family, Han Tianming.
He listened quietly to the words of the two elders and understood the current situation of the Han family.
"The only solution now is to wait."
"Wait for the sea merchants to arrive, and then buy treasures from them to replenish the spirit veins."
He said slowly.
Most of the islands in the Chaos Star Sea are isolated from the world, and the islands are often far apart.
It is difficult to communicate with each other, let alone trade such as resource exchange.
And sea merchants came into being in this way.
They often carry the goods needed by the islands and shuttle between the islands.
They are likely to carry treasures to replenish the spirit veins, after all, it is not only the spirit veins of Qingling Island that will be exhausted.
"But the whereabouts of sea merchants are uncertain, and no one knows when they will come to Qingling Island?"
The elder is still a little worried.
The Chaos Star Sea is too big, the wind and clouds on the sea are unpredictable, and the whereabouts of merchants are erratic.
Maybe they will come today, maybe tomorrow, or maybe countless years later.
In his memory, the last time a merchant came to Qingling Island was twenty years ago.
"So be patient and suspend all tasks on the island that consume a lot of spiritual energy to slow down the speed of spiritual vein depletion."
"The longer we persist, the more hope we have."
Han Tianming said calmly. At this point, anxiety and tension are useless.
To save Qingling Island and the Han family, the only way is to increase revenue and reduce expenditure.
There is no hope of increasing revenue before the merchants arrive.
So we can only start with reducing expenditure.
"If we still can't wait for the merchants, then we will concentrate all resources and go to sea after the spiritual vein is exhausted!"
The three elders fell silent after hearing Han Tianming's words.
This is the last choice. Without spiritual veins, we can only sail far away to find a place with spiritual veins and take root again.
As for the current foundation of the Han family on Qingling Island, they will all be abandoned, and the mortals in the family cannot be taken away. They can only be left to fend for themselves.
The future of the monks who go to sea is also uncertain.
On the sea, the risks are too great, with raging waves, violent storms, and sea beasts lurking under the sea.
They are all the most terrifying challenges!
But it is impossible not to do so. When the day comes when the spirit veins are exhausted, the Han family cannot wait to die on this island.
Even if there is a glimmer of hope, the bloodline must be sent out!
Therefore, the three people felt heavy-hearted.
"There is another problem. The treasures that replenish the spirit veins are very precious. We may not be able to afford them..."
The second elder smiled bitterly.
The Han family is just an ordinary Qi-refining family. Qingling Island is not rich in materials, and the spirit stones accumulated by the ancestors for many years are not many.
And the treasures that can replenish the spirit veins must be valuable.
If the traveling merchants cannot afford it, everything will be in vain.
"If you can't afford the treasures, you can buy a map!"
Han Tianming's words made the three elders' eyes light up.
"Yes! Why didn't I think of it!"
The taciturn third elder slapped his head and looked at Han Tianming in the first place with great respect.
He is worthy of being the head of the family they elected, young and talented.
In such a short time, he was able to come up with a response plan.
The value of the treasures that replenish the spirit veins must be very high, but the map is not.
With the map, even if the Han family really reaches the last step and has to go out to sea, there is a direction to follow!
They won't be like headless flies, picking a random direction to try their luck!
The chance of reaching an island with spiritual veins is greatly increased, and the route can be adjusted at any time to avoid some powerful sea beasts.
After settling down, maybe they can come back to pick up the Han family's ordinary clansmen on Qingling Island.
After getting the solution, the three elders looked at Han Tianming who was "thinking hard", and looked at each other, as if they understood each other's meaning:
The owner must be wondering if there is a better way!
Let's not disturb him!
However, in fact, Han Tianming was at a loss at the moment.
Just when he mentioned the map, a map suddenly appeared in his mind.
"Treasure map?"
This is a treasure map.
Covering the entire Qingling Island, at this time, a big red light point flashed at a certain location!
"Isn't this location in my yard?"
Han Tianming carefully identified the direction and finally locked the location of the light spot.
As the head of the family, Han Tianming has his own independent courtyard.
The furnishings in his small courtyard are very simple.
There is an ancient pine that has been planted for an unknown number of years. There is a stone table under the tree and four stone benches around it.
At this moment, Han Tianming, the head of the family, was digging hard under the old pine.
"clang!"
After digging several feet deep, the shovel in Han Tianming's hand hit a hard object.
He dug up the surrounding soil and found a simple jade box, finally seeing the light of day again!
"It's really a treasure!"
The jade box is small and exquisite, no bigger than a palm, but has an ancient shape and is engraved with mysterious patterns.
"Innate sword body?"
Han Tianming barely recognized the ancient inscriptions on the jade box, and then slowly opened the jade box.
A small white jade sword, no more than three inches long, lay quietly in the jade box!
"This is……"
Before he finished speaking, Han Tianming's pupils suddenly tightened!
The small sword glowed brightly and flew up automatically, rushing towards Han Tianming's head!
After pouring it from the Niwan Palace, a passage was forcibly opened in Han Tianming's body!
"Ah ah ah... don't... it hurts..."
Han Tianming screamed, that little sword went straight from Niwan Palace to Dantian Qi Sea!
Then it disintegrated into little bits of spiritual light and disappeared into the newly dug passage!
Then the spiritual energy of heaven and earth swarmed towards Han Tianming!
"Ahhhhh...give it to me...it feels so good...don't stop..."
Countless spiritual energy submerged into Han Tianming's limbs and bones, making him extremely comfortable!
The aura on his body is constantly rising!
Fifth level of Qi refining!
Sixth level of Qi refining!
Seventh level of Qi refining!
…
(Mountains, rivers, vegetation, rivers, stars, and stars.)
