From a carp to a dragon god

Chapter 247: Fengyue Deer Becomes a Spirit

A few days later, it was the end of the first lunar month and the examination for becoming a Taoist was about to end. Many monsters were counting the days.

February is almost here, and many major events are about to happen, such as Li Taiping will have to go through the tribulation of cultivation on the day of Jingzhe, and Yunhua is about to break through to the ninth level of the Dharma stage.

At that time, the most important thing was that in the solitary garden deep in the desolate sea, Sister Hui, the goddaughter of the White Crow Ghost Immortal, also had to overcome the tribulation and break through to the fifth level.

The five people from the Yao family, Yu Shuyang, and even Fu Yangzi were all waiting. When Sister Hui broke through to the fifth level and became a ghost fairy, the White Crow Ghost Fairy would be able to gather the four night ghosts and then refine herself into the master of ghosts.

Waiting similarly to those on Hushan Island are Sanxian Island, Dongling Island, Qingqiu, and the demons and immortals in the related Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.

Before this, Hushan Island finally welcomed a monster, the long-awaited spider spirit - Zhu Gangbiao.

Lao Moji is waiting to take a ship to Wuyu Island, Yu Shuyang is waiting for materials to build Wufeng Tower, and Chaojucheng Noodle House is waiting for Zhicao to do business.

This time, Yu Shuyang deeply realized how inconvenient it was to not have a sea vessel. Yu Mu sent flying talismans several times, and the steamed bun shop on Yatou Mountain was ready, waiting for the grass to be put into the pot.

For this purpose, he gave a flying talisman to his second cousin Li Lifa, asking him to help inquire about and find a sea ship, as he was the only one left at the Wuhui Cave in Qianzhang Cliff.

The Sanxian Island was closed to the public and no one was allowed to enter or leave. Zhu Sanniang, who went to buy the island, and Li Zhen and Mu Lingge, who came to the island to study, were all stranded on the Sanxian Island. Not only were they stranded, they were not even allowed to send letters or fly talismans.

Zhu Sanniang went to the Sanxian Islands to purchase a premium island before the New Year, and then there was no news from her. Yu Mu had been worried about her all the time. A few days ago, Yu Shuyang got the news and hurriedly sent a flying talisman to Yu Mu, telling her not to worry.

On the west coast of Hushan Island, Zhu Jiahai loaded a thousand large pine logs onto his ship, and Yu Shuyang summoned all the goblins that could be mobilized on the island.

Building the Five Winds Tower requires large wood of the wind element, which is different from building a water diversion pool. There are two spiritual carpenters working with Zhu Gangbiao.

As soon as he got off the boat, Zhu Gangbiao couldn't stop sighing. The island protection formation was really amazing. The Xuanming True Water Cloud Dragon was circling outside the island, completely covering Hushan Island.

The clouds and mist transformed from the Xuanming True Water have the same properties as the wild water. When viewed from afar, they look like dark clouds and mist floating on the sea.

"This time it was really not easy. We cut down a thousand large pine trees, all over 300 years old. We almost cleared out all the pine trees on Pine Cliff."

Zhu Gangbiao started complaining as soon as they met. He knew that the delay was too long and he had to find an explanation.

Yu Shuyang nodded slightly, looked at the two carpenters following behind Zhu Gangbiao, and asked, "Are these two the carpenters?"

"Let me explain. These two are carpenters of the Songmuyachi family. I specially invited them from Dongya Island." Zhu Gangbiao introduced with pride.

Dongya Island is the largest of the five islands in Kuhaiyazhou. It is managed by the Shandu clan of the Fu family. The Shandu clan is shaped like a baboon and is extremely skilled in bone divination. Their bloodline inheritance is very ancient.

Earlier, Yu Shuyang wanted to purchase a sea vessel, and Yao Jihua recommended him to the Fu's Shipping Company on Jinlu Island, which was the exclusive business of the Shandu clan in Dongya City.

Yu Shuyang took out the blueprint of Wufeng Tower. The two carpenters, one old and one young, were father and son. The old one took the blueprint and looked at it carefully for a moment.

"This building will take 120 days to construct, and the wages will be 200,000 taels of silver. We'll need about 700 to 800 pieces of wood.

So, the materials would cost 2.7 or 2.8 million. Is that okay with you? "The carpenter returned the blueprint and began to negotiate the price.

Yu Shuyang nodded with satisfaction. The Wufeng Tower was going to build a platform, which was nine zhang high and eight zhang wide. The building would be divided into five floors and nineteen zhang high. The total cost would be three million talisman coins, which was really not too much.

"Master Chi, your price is very fair. I wonder how many levels of magic restrictions you can offer?" Yu Shuyang asked with a smile.

When a spiritual carpenter builds a building or repairs a house, it is the same as refining a magical instrument. He will also refine the magic weapon in the building, and the homeowner can continue to refine it later.

"The formation plate at the base of the building can be used to refine the fifth level of evil prohibition, and the roof ridge can also be used to refine the fifth level. The rest depends on the size of the parts, but most of them are the first or second level of evil prohibition."

The old carpenter has a cold and hard accent, and there are always some words that are pronounced with a heavy emphasis in every sentence, but he has a very honest temperament and always says good things and bad things first.

Yu Shuyang didn't care about it at all, and left the subsequent rituals of the Five Wind Tower to the bee demon Jinhu. After all, the Wind Tiger Seal was given to her.

At the same time, he had another plan in mind. Controlling the Wind Tiger and refining the Five Wind Tower were all tasks for the Golden Tiger to do. She would have nothing to do but swallow the money made from the golden sand.

The Golden Bee Clan collected golden sand, and although the profits were split 30% to 70%, not all of the remaining three layers were eaten by the Golden Tiger. After all, Yu Shuyang had taught the stabbing sword technique to the Golden Bee monsters in the first place in order to allow them to forge swords.

After both parties reached an agreement, the old carpenter asked his son to take out the contract, signed the business contract with Yu Shuyang on the spot, and took his son to move the wood.

The two monkey demons displayed various magical forms. They were both wooden puppets three meters tall. They spread their arms and picked up five large pieces of wood, then headed straight for the Golden Tiger Mountain.

Zhu Gangbiao was even more proud after seeing this, and pulled Yu Shuyang aside, saying, "The two carpenters I chose for you were both carefully selected.

They are from the Songmuya Chi family, and they learned carpentry from the Fu family. If they didn't need money, they wouldn't go out to work."

Yu Shuyang didn't know the inside story, so he asked a few words of greeting. It turned out that the ancestor of the Chi family was the son-in-law of the Fu family. Later, after he broke through the fifth level of cultivation, he went out on his own to establish the Songmu Cliff Chi family, a family of demons and immortals.

Now that the lifespan of the Chi family's demon fairy is about to expire, and he is preparing for a final fight before his death, he must purchase a magic pill for a breakthrough, so he lets his clansmen come out to work and earn money.

"Alas, it's all because of the money."

Zhu Gangbiao couldn't help but sigh. He was talking about the talisman money, but what he was thinking about was the Zhu family. Of his family's demon fairy ancestor, only one, Haixia demon fairy, was left, and her lifespan was only a hundred years at most.

At present, splitting the clan into several branches and selecting outstanding demon clan members for marriage are all for future planning. If there is still no successor after a hundred years, his family may have to take this step.

"Why does your family still need to worry about money for talismans? Countless robes in the East China Sea come from the Zhu family. Even if the dragon girl in the Dragon Palace doesn't wear shark silk, she will wear your family's water silk robes."

Yu Shuyang couldn't help but make a joke. The Zhu family had registered in the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea, and together with the mermaids, they were refining dragon robes for the Dragon King of the East China Sea.

For this reason, the Zhu family's wind-catching robes were sold all over the East China Sea, and no one dared to cause trouble, and they even participated in catching the wind spirit.

"Young man from the Yu family, please stop joking. Right now, the hottest money-making business in the East China Sea is your Wuzhi Steamed Bun Fish.

I heard that several large alchemy workshops have announced that they will refine new blood and qi pills, and the next step will be a competition.

"What do your family think about this? Do you need any help?" Zhu Gangbiao said in a casual tone, seemingly nonchalant, but in fact, he was staring at Yu Shuyang with shining eyes.

The reason why he came so late this time was that he was left in the Zhu family's blessed land by the Haixia Fairy, waiting to see the development of the Yu family's business.

After the Jing family father and son returned to Chaoju City, they left quietly. Only then did they ask Zhu Gangbiao to select carpenters and lumber, and personally visit Hushan Island to inquire. "Uncle Zhu, don't worry about this. Where's the Wind Spirit? Why haven't you taken it out?" Yu Shuyang didn't care at all about the Alchemy Workshop's competition.

He had already made an agreement with Yao Jihua, and she had already sent flying talismans to the clan. It wouldn't be long before the Yao's Herbal Ganoderma Shop would open on Jinlu Island, and she would spread the news at that time.

At that time, all the demon and fairy families in the five islands and eight cities of Yazhou understood that the Yu family was not a piece of fat meat. Unlike the previous wild demon cultivators, although they did not have demons and fairies to support them, they were not without followers.

"My boy, how could I forget this? I picked a good one for you. Have you heard of Fengyuelu?"

As Zhu Gangbiao spoke, he took out a bird cage from his magic bag, inside which was a wind spirit with a bird's head and a deer's body.

Yu Shuyang didn't know what to say for a moment. He was practicing the Eight Wind Mantras, including the Xunfengheng mantra. The talisman he refined had Jixu Feilian drawn on it, which looked similar to the wind spirit in front of him.

"Uncle Zhu, don't keep me in suspense. What is this Fengyue Deer?"

Zhu Gangbiao laughed heartily and then explained, "The so-called Wind Moon Deer is the wind spirit that is born in the eye of the wind in July every year.

Because its body shape and appearance are similar to those of the seventh month's moon god, both of which are deer, it was named Wind Moon Deer. This wind spirit is extremely good at walking and can move as fast as flying.

Yu Shuyang took the birdcage and looked at the wind spirit that was no bigger than a palm. He opened his eyes wide and looked carefully at the so-called "Wind and Moon Deer".

He discovered that 30% of the wind spirit's body was the Taiyin Mysterious Wind, and there was indeed a crescent moon inside. The rest was the Southeast Fragrant Wind, and there was not even a trace of the power of Jixu Feilian.

"Uncle Zhu, how do you plan to sell this wind spirit? Name a price." Yu Shuyang asked directly. Fei Lian and Feng Yuelu didn't care. He wanted to use the essence and blood of the strong wind to directly cultivate the wind spirit into a demon.

“Young Master Yu, you are not an outsider either. The market price of a Wind Spirit is 2,000 coins, and a Wind Moon Deer is generally 20% more expensive.

"But considering our relationship, let's just calculate it as 2,000 yuan. How do you want to pay?" Zhu Gangbiao said with a smile.

Two thousand Sui coins are equivalent to two million Fu coins. One Sui coin can be exchanged for one thousand Fu coins. Jade Fu Sui coins are often used in large transactions.

To be honest, Yu Shuyang didn't know whether two million talisman coins for a wind spirit was cheap or expensive, but when he thought of Zhu Gangbiao talking about the market price, he was too lazy to delve into it further.

"Uncle Zhu, do you want money or something? I don't have any money right now. If you want to settle with money, I'll write you a note and you can pick it up at the noodle shop.

Or I could give you something in exchange. The Zhicao on the island has just been harvested, and if you want it, I'll give you 2,500 kilograms," Yu Shuyang explained.

When discussing cooperation with Yao Jihua a few days ago, he also learned that business transactions in Donghai were conducted through two methods: settlement with cash and barter.

The market price of Zhicao was set earlier by Li Zhen. Ten thousand catties were sold for eight million coins, which was equivalent to two thousand coins, or two thousand five hundred catties.

Zhu Gangbiao blinked his eyes. He wanted the Zhicao, but he also knew in his heart that the Zhu family and the Yu family were not yet close, so it would be difficult for him to get involved in this business.

"I still need the money for the talisman. Could you please write a note, Young Master Yu? I'll leave this windproof cage to you first. I'll let Sister Hui come and get it next time.

Her retreat is almost over, and this time she's crafted a plain, cloud-patterned robe. "I'm sure she'll be able to break through to the eighth rank," Zhu Gangbiao mentioned, intentionally or unintentionally.

Yu Shuyang didn't expect that Zhu Zihui would make such a quick breakthrough in her retreat. He remembered that the first time they met was on the way to Huaishui Fair. At that time, she had just broken through to the ninth level.

You know, he was able to break through from the ninth rank to the eighth rank in just a few months, all thanks to the Nine Yang Mysterious Water Turtle that helped him gather Qi and Sha, saving a lot of time-consuming steps in the middle.

"Are you surprised? My sister Hui practices the Dragon Palace inheritance, called the Dragon Robe Heavenly Weaving Method. It doesn't require gathering Qi or gathering evil spirits, only refining the robes is required.

"There are nine dragon robes in total. Every time you refine one, the immortal quality is upgraded. It's incredible," Zhu Gangbiao boasted.

This dragon robe weaving method was created by the weaver in the Dragon Palace after she comprehending the Dragon King's shedding of skin. The ninth level of immortality corresponds exactly to the nine times of shedding the dragon robe's skin.

In fact, this is not only about refining robes, but also a method of shedding skin and transforming into a dragon. Earlier, Zhu Zihui did not want to change her bloodline and transform into a dragon, so she did not make any progress in her practice.

She was also rejected twice in a row on blind dates, and Li Zhen said strange things to her in front of Yu Shuyang, which completely annoyed her. So she went back to seclusion to practice the method of shedding her skin and becoming a dragon.

Yu Shuyang didn't know the details, so he just said a few polite words, gave him the written note, and handed the grass that replaced the magic bag to Lao Moji, and watched the two monsters board the boat and leave.

Now it’s only a few days away from the Waking of Insects Day, so it’s better to let Uncle Mo leave as soon as possible. Besides, the fish mother is in Chaoju City and is waiting for the grass urgently.

After seeing off Uncle Mo, Yu Shuyang carried the birdcage back to the Jishuitan in Zizhulin. Before leaving, he instructed Jinhu to follow the two carpenters of the Chi family throughout the journey.

Not to mention learning a carpentry skill, at least he had to be familiar with the Five Winds Tower. After all, he would have to hand it over to Jin Hu to perform the Five Winds Tower magic prohibitions in the future.

Walking slowly along the way, looking around at the spiritual fields on the island, which were faintly emitting precious light, especially the water-light grape vines and the mushroom fields. The spiritual charm gathered the power of the laws, which was extraordinary.

The current Hushan Island already has the foundation of a demon fairy family. Although it has been in operation for a short time and everything seems a bit simple, there is a pattern to the layout of each place.

Yu Shuyang returned to the small building beside the Jishuitan Pond, took a wisp of Tianyi True Water from the mouth of the white fish dragon, mixed it with the real blood of the big wind bird, and fed it directly to Fengyue Deer.

The palm-sized wind spirit was taken out from the wind-proof cage. It grew into the size of an elk in an instant when facing the wind. The Wind Moon Deer first swallowed the real blood in Yu Shuyang's hand, then turned around and ran away with all four hooves flying.

Yu Shuyang created a gust of wind with a thought, and directly gathered the wind into the shape of a black snake, tying up Fengyuelu like a dumpling. This wind spirit had not yet gained wisdom, but it already had its own nature and could distinguish between good and evil.

In a moment, the true blood took effect in Fengyuelu's body, and the bird's head began to swell like a balloon, and its outline also changed into that of a Peng bird.

First, two large lumps appeared on the deer's back, and then a pair of fleshy wings broke out from them. Wind feathers grew out of the fleshy wings one by one, forming a clear gray piece.

The look in the deer's eyes was no longer chaotic, but instead was filled with curiosity as he stared at Yu Shuyang.

Seeing that Fengyuelu had become intelligent, Yu Shuyang cast a spell to remove the wind rope and said, "Since you have become intelligent, you need a name so that we can distinguish between you and me.

Feng, whose surname can be Fu, comes from the ancient Fufeng clan. You were transformed into a spirit by the sea breeze and the moonlight, and your transformed form is related to the God of July.

Qiyue is also known as Xiangyue, so why not call your real name Fuxiangfeng? I can usually call you Qifeng, are you satisfied?"

Fengyuelu's Fengpeng bird raised its head high, opened its beak and made a "chirp" sound, its joy beyond words.
