Mortal: I am the young sect master of the Thousand Illusions Sect

Chapter 85 Amber Island

On the forty-eighth level of the Holy Mountain, outside the cave dwelling rented by Su Mixin, Tang Geng slowly stepped out of the door, turned around and raised his hand in a cupped-hand salute to Su Mixin who had come to see him off, his tone gentle and cheerful: "Fellow Daoist Su, please stop here, there's no need to see me off. I'll take my leave now, and wish you a smooth and worry-free search for the Earth Abyss Spirit Water."

Su Mixin raised her hand in return, a smile playing on her lips: "Fellow Daoist Tang, please take care. I appreciate your kind words and hope that the search for the Earth Abyss Spirit Water will go smoothly."

As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Geng's body shimmered with spiritual light, transforming into a condensed crimson streak of light that shot through the air and disappeared.

Su Mixin turned around and returned to his cave. This plot to obtain the Bitter Yin Spirit Water was of great importance, and he had to make thorough preparations without any oversights.

Unbeknownst to Su Mixin, the crimson streak of light did not travel to the higher levels of the sacred mountain. It only flew upwards for a few hundred feet before suddenly changing direction and heading to another part of the sacred mountain.

Half an hour later, on the thirty-third floor of the Holy Mountain, in the reception room of a secluded cave dwelling, Tang Geng sat across from a middle-aged cultivator in a blue robe.

This person was none other than Hong Guliang, who had secretly tested Su Mixin two years ago to see if she possessed the Void Heaven Remnant Map.

With a slight flicker of spiritual light at his fingertips, Tang Geng took out an empty large wooden box and a jade slip from his storage bag. With a gentle lift of his magic power, the two items floated steadily in the air in front of Hong Guliang.

"I personally witnessed Su Mixin touch the lid of this wooden box and open it. There must be traces of her presence on the box."

"The best route for this person to go out soon is to use the teleportation array to reach Kui Xing Island first, and then speed to his destination. However, there are many other routes to choose from besides this one. I cannot be 100% sure that he will take the Kui Xing Island route, and you may not be able to intercept him halfway."

"The jade slip contains detailed information about his final destination on this long journey, with all the necessary information complete."

Hong Guliang raised his hand to accept the wooden box and jade slip, carefully put them into his storage bag, and then took out several sealed jade boxes, pushing them in front of Tang Geng.

"Steward Tang, this is the payment agreed upon beforehand. I will remember your help this time."

Tang Geng accepted the jade box, a fleeting glint of undisguised joy flashing across his eyes, but a hint of difficulty settled on his face. He sighed softly and said, "Helping you all this time is not my true wish. If it weren't for the sake of my fellow Star Palace steward, Senior Brother Li, I would never have gotten involved in this matter."

"I only beg Fellow Daoist Hong to spare the life of my dear friend Su Mixin after this matter is accomplished."

Hong Guliang did not respond to the question, but instead curled his lips into a cold smile, chuckled softly, and a hint of undisguised killing intent flashed in his dark eyes, which was meaningful and self-evident.

With the clues to the Bitter Yin Spirit Water finally settled, in order to gather the materials as soon as possible and refine her natal magic weapon, the Voidless Sword, Su Mixin immediately began preparing for her journey.

-

The destination is located three million miles deep in the southwest sea. Even with Su Mixin's current speed as a Core Formation cultivator, and even if the journey is smooth and there are no monsters to disturb her, it would still take more than half a year to arrive.

However, the outer sea is treacherous and unpredictable, and the inner sea area, far from human control, is a place where countless monsters roam. How could the journey be smooth?

In addition, Su Mixin also intends to take advantage of this trip to the outer seas to venture deep into the territory of monsters and hunt down level 5 to 7 monsters along the way.

He had been in the early stage of Core Formation for more than ten years. However, due to the lack of high-level demonic beasts that could refine his essence liquid to match his cultivation level, and the lack of time for long-term seclusion and meditation, his cultivation progress was extremely slow.

Over the next few days, Su Mixin's main body frequented various markets and guilds in Tianxing City, purchasing large quantities of high-grade Rejuvenation Pills, Qi-replenishing Pills, and other mana-restoring supplements, as well as a considerable number of low- and mid-grade talismans.

Prepare enough supplies for long-distance battles and the wear and tear of the journey.

After procuring the supplies, Su Mixin sighed inwardly, still harboring concerns.

His current escape techniques are mediocre. Using escape techniques to travel long distances would consume a huge amount of his magical power, making it impossible for him to sustain a journey of three million miles without stopping. He would inevitably have to stop and go at times.

However, if one abandons the escape technique and uses the Yellow Crystal Flying Boat or rides the Golden Feather Spirit Beast on a long journey, the journey will take nearly a year, which is actually slower.

Moreover, Jin Yu had been in a deep slumber for a long time due to consuming a large amount of demon essence liquid. If it could not awaken in a short period of time, it would certainly be unable to ride it for transportation.

Thinking of Jin Yu, Su Mixin naturally recalled the group of spirit beasts she kept in the World Ring.

The first to be affected was the Gold-Eating Insect swarm. By now, the way he cultivated his insect swarm was completely different from the Gold-Eating Insects cultivated by Han Laomo in the original work.

Su Mixin was limited by the fact that he had no way to obtain a large amount of high-grade Rainbow Grass. The insect swarm would not reproduce exponentially in a short period of time. This also meant that the total number of Gold-Eating Insects in his hands in the future would probably be far less than the scale of more than 100,000 insects that Han Laomo could easily achieve under special control in the original work.

Of course, after arriving in Tianxing City, Su Mixin also collected a large number of seedlings and seeds of spiritual herbs unique to this region and planted them in the world ring, including a large area of ​​Rainbow Grass.

Eleven years have passed since the Silver Gold-Eating Insect Swarm was subdued, and the swarm has only successfully reproduced for one generation.

However, Su Mixin had the all-powerful and extremely powerful Demon Essence Liquid to cultivate it, which made the individual Gold-Eating Insects far superior in cultivation strength compared to the Gold-Eating Insects of Han Laomo at the same time.

Currently, there are over 500 Gold-Eating Insects of Generation 1, all of which have reached the level of Level 2 Demon Beasts, with a very few individuals even reaching Level 3.

The new generation has been breeding for a short time, numbering over 1,100, and they have all reached the level of a top-tier level one demon beast.

Besides the gold-devouring insects, he also had a pair of blood jade spiders.

These two Blood Jade Spiders were the main force that would later be used to lure and capture the Void Heaven Palace and the Azure Ice Flame in the inner palace during the trip to the Void Heaven Palace.

Thanks to the abundant demon essence liquid, the two Blood Jade Spiders have already cultivated to the peak of the second-level demon beast. Su Mixin estimates that when they enter the Void Heaven Palace, as long as the supply of demon essence liquid continues, the two Blood Jade Spiders can at least advance to the fifth-level demon beast, showing great potential.

In addition, at the banquet celebrating Su Mi's Core Formation, Old Monster Fen gave him a Silver-Armored Horned Python demon egg, which was a fertilized live egg.

Not long after Su Mixin was acquired, the little python hatched.

This silver-armored horned python had mediocre bloodline and ordinary quality, so Su Mixin didn't value it much to begin with.

It just so happens that when the eldest brother Qi Danyan gave Jin Yu the gift, he also included a spirit beast token.

After Jin Yu switched to the Blood Core Control Technique, this spirit beast token was left unused. Now it's perfect for this silver-armored horned python, and it will be very convenient to resell it to someone else in the future.

This python's parents were highly accomplished; it was a peak level two demon beast as soon as it hatched, and now, after being carefully nurtured with demon essence liquid, it has steadily advanced to level three not long ago.

Since its opening, Yuhua Tower has been posting purchase notices, offering high prices for complete corpses of level two or higher demonic beasts.

Although not many cultivators managed to bring back intact monster corpses, as Jade Flower Pavilion gained a foothold and its reputation grew, it acquired more and more complete monster corpses of levels two to four.

Inside Su Mixin's Demon Refining Pot, the amount of blood-red Foundation Establishment level demon essence liquid was increasing, more than enough for Su Mixin to supply all the spirit beasts under her, with a large surplus.

The journey to the outer sea was long and fraught with danger, teeming with monsters. No room for complacency was allowed. After gathering a large quantity of necessary supplies at the Tianxing City market, Su Mixin used her hearthstone to teleport back to the Thousand Illusions Sect.

The stone embryo was brought back into its original form and merged.

Knowing that they might be separated for several years, Su Mixin spent several days with Yan Ruyan, cherishing each other's company.

Afterwards, Su Mixin also prepared some pills and talismans to restore her mana at the Thousand Illusions Sect.

After replenishing some goods sold at Yuhua Tower in Tianxing City in Tiannan, Su Mixin announced her seclusion.

After being teleported back to Tianxing City, Su Mixin made arrangements for the business of Yuhua Tower for the next few years, carefully instructing the Qin sisters and others on how to conduct themselves in the coming period, before disappearing from Tianxing City.

A hundred miles off the coast of Kuixing Island, a flash of white light appeared in the sky, and Su Mixin's figure suddenly appeared there.

After breaking through to the Core Formation stage, the number of Hearthstone save points increased to three. In addition to Thousand Illusion Sect and Heavenly Star City, Su Mixin has not yet removed the save point markers here.

Coincidentally, at that moment, several people on Kuixing Island were lying in ambush, monitoring the teleportation array hall day and night, hoping to catch a glimpse of Su Mixin, but they missed her completely.

Su Mixin called out to Feng Hou: "Feng Hou, use the live map to continuously monitor the maximum area. If any cultivators or demonic beasts with cultivation levels above the Core Formation stage appear in the monitoring range, issue a warning. Do the same for other special cases."

"Always correct my direction and route."

A cool, clear voice rang in Su Mixin's ears: "Yes, Master."

Having spent so many years in Tianxing City, Su Mixin had already collected a large number of maps of the inner and outer star seas, along with the map of Diyuan Island given to her by Tang Geng, all of which she handed over to Feng Hou to organize and summarize.

This long journey is unlikely to result in flying in the wrong direction or missing the destination.

"Sigh!" With a soft sigh, Su Mixin summoned the Yellow Crystal Boat. For now, she had no other choice but to use the Yellow Crystal Boat to travel in order to maintain her condition in the dangerous territory of the monsters in the outer sea. However, it would take much longer.

The yellow streak sped off into the depths of the southwest.

Unexpectedly, just half an hour later, Feng Hou's voice suddenly rang in Su Mixin's ears.

"Master, the golden feather that was sleeping inside the world ring has just awakened. Judging from its current state, it is highly likely that it will advance to the next level soon."

Upon hearing this, Su Mixin's face lit up with joy. Wasn't this just the perfect opportunity?

Huang Jingzhou immediately stopped in mid-air.

"Jin Yu's breakthrough is definitely not possible within the World Ring; the spiritual energy there is too thin, which would be extremely detrimental to his advancement. Feng Hou, do you have any suggestions?"

Feng Hou remained silent for less than two breaths before replying, "Master, according to the map, there is a small island called Amber Island, 1,100 miles southeast of here. The spiritual veins on it are of good quality, and it is controlled by only a Foundation Establishment family. It is a suitable place for Jin Yu to advance."

Su Mixin nodded. "Okay, then let's choose to go to this island."

As soon as he finished speaking, Huang Jingzhou changed direction and flew away at high speed along the route indicated by Feng Hou.

Unexpectedly, just a quarter of an hour later, as Amber Island was brought into the monitoring range of the liveness map, Feng Hou's voice rang in Su Mixin's ears again.

"Master, we have made another major discovery. On Amber Island, at a certain location in the underground spiritual vein, there is a node where spiritual energy gathers. This phenomenon is very similar to the one when you discovered the Spirit Eye Spring in Huangfeng Valley of the Taiyue Mountains."

"Based on our deductions, there is a high probability that something with spiritual vision exists on Amber Island."

Upon hearing this, Su Mixin's expression became quite interesting. Jin Yu really is a lucky star!
