When I take my cultivation to the extreme

Chapter 17 The seven-masted treasure ship 'Shang Shang'
When Sixth Elder Xu Jie saw Li Fan being silent, he misunderstood the meaning and thought it was because he didn't want to go.

Xu Jie slowed down his tone and said: "Li Fan, I know you are reluctant to look for the elixir on the Immortal Island, and I also know your human nature. You are so quiet and restless, so it's a bit embarrassing for you to go there. ”

"But there's nothing we can do about it."

"The fourth elder is old, and there were some hidden dangers when he was practicing. In recent years, his energy has not been as good as before. He has already intended to give up his position as the elder of Lingzhi Hall, and I am expected to hold two positions and take over. The fourth elder manages the Lingzhi Hall and is also responsible for the affairs of the Island Affairs Hall."

"It's just that I haven't made any achievements yet in terms of Ling Zhi Tang. I'm afraid it won't be able to convince the public."

"This time I persuaded the clan leader to plant new types of spiritual rice and elixir, just to do more for the Xu family. If I succeed, I will also gain reputation and achievements in Lingzhi Hall."

"This matter cannot be lost."

"You are extremely talented in spiritual planting. I can only trust you. I will feel relieved if you control the quality of the seeds and seedlings."

Li Fan could tell that Xu Jie's words were meant to win over.

He was noncommittal.

Seeing that Li Fan hadn't responded yet, Xu Jie shook his head slightly and took out two black seeds from his body.

The two seeds look like shrunken pine cones, but they are tightly closed. There is a layer of fish scale-like seed coating on the outside, which looks like obsidian luster.

Xu Jie walked up to Li Fan and put the two seeds into Li Fan's hands.

"This thing is the seed of the fourth-level elixir Nether Orchid. I spent a pound of rare spiritual tea and spent a lot of money to get it from the fourth elder."

"Each Nether Orchid seed is worth a hundred low-grade spiritual stones."

"I want you to go to Lingchahai City, and I won't send you in vain. Take these two Nether Orchid seeds. You have the ability of spiritual planting, maybe you can cultivate them and survive." Xu Jie said.

Two seeds were stuffed into Li Fan's hands, and he felt as cold as ice flakes.

Li Fan's eyes lit up slightly.

Of course he knows about Netherworld Orchid.

This item is a fourth-level elixir with icy and cold medicinal properties. It can be used to refine Nether Pills, assist in the practice of Nether Cultivation Techniques, and can also neutralize the inner fire generated during practice.

Normally, a mature Nether Orchid is worth more than a thousand low-grade spiritual stones.

The Netherworld Orchid is extremely difficult to cultivate. If ten seeds are planted, only one can be cultivated successfully. Even if the seeds germinate, if you are not careful during the growth process, they will die accidentally.

The Nether Orchid planted by the Fourth Elder almost died, but it was Li Fan who used the technique of "dead wood to spring" to revive it, and made Li Fan famous in one battle.

Precisely because the survival rate of this plant is extremely low, the cultivation cycle is long, and it is difficult to maintain, the price of seeds is not particularly expensive.

However, even so, there are no Nether Orchid seeds for sale in the shops here in Scale City.

Without him, there are too few buyers, and it is not cost-effective for shops to purchase goods with great effort. They don’t know when they will be able to sell even if they buy, which puts too much pressure on the bottom of the stock.

This is also the embarrassment of most shops here in Lincheng.

Li Fan can buy many kinds of seeds and seedlings of first- and second-level elixirs here, but when it comes to third-level elixirs, there are suddenly fewer choices, and there are almost no fourth-level elixirs. Whether you can buy them depends on luck.

Li Fan wanted to go to Lingchahai Market and originally planned to purchase some seeds and seedlings of level [-] or above elixirs.

Mature high-level elixirs are too expensive, but seeds are much cheaper.

Seeing that Li Fan had collected the elixir, Xu Jie looked calm and said: "I don't think you need this fourth-level elixir Nether Orchid, but if you really cultivate it, you can come to me and I will buy it for 500 yuan of spiritual stones." .”

"As for whether you can grow it, it all depends on your ability."

Li Fan suddenly understood.

"Okay, let me tell you why the Sixth Elder, who always values ​​wealth and power, is quite generous today. It turns out he is waiting for me here."

"If you really grow a Netherworld Orchid, although it is valuable, there are very few buyers here in Scale City, maybe only the Sixth Elder. In this way, he will not be at a loss, and not only will he be able to earn in vain my skills and efforts in cultivating elixirs with spiritual planting techniques, It also has the advantage of directly saving 600 yuan of low-grade spiritual stones, which will make the abacus rubbish."

Li Fan found it quite funny in his heart. The Sixth Elder was so calculating.He didn't say anything either.

Although Nether Orchid seeds are difficult to cultivate, for other spiritual farmers, Li Fan's spiritual planting technique blessed by the white bead mark is not comparable to ordinary people.

This Netherworld Lanzhen was cultivated, and Li Fan had other uses, so he would not sell it to the Sixth Elder at a low price.

He collected the seeds and said, "Thank you, Sixth Elder. Then I will make preparations and follow the Xu family's fleet to Lingchahai City."

Xu Jie nodded slightly.

...

Obviously, the Xu family attaches great importance to this trade in Lingchahai City and has made preparations as early as possible.

Li Fan stayed in Lincheng for one night. On the morning of the next day, he followed the Xu family to the dock of Longlin Island and found that a large ship had been moored here.

This ship is the famous "seven-masted treasure ship" of the Xu family. It is completely black and made entirely of ebony.

The treasure ship has large masts and many sails. It rides the wind and waves. Even though it has a journey of thousands of miles, it is still a long way back and forth.

Li Fan had heard about the Xu family's treasure ship, which was used for ocean-going trade and rarely appeared in nearby waters.

Li Fan followed the Xu family's team and boarded the treasure ship.

Lingshahai City is located on Lingsha Island in the center of the Fallen Star Islands. It is quite a distance away from Longlin Island. Even during the foundation construction period, it is impossible to fly there in one go. Taking a treasure ship, you can reach Lingsha Island in twenty days. The time is just in time for the SH market to open.

In fact, it can be faster, but to go to Lingsha Island, you need to pass through the waters within the Xiang family's sphere of influence, and the Xu family and the Xiang family have been in particularly intense conflict in the past two years. For safety, the treasure ship has to go around and use another sea route.

Li Fan followed the Xu family and boarded the seven-masted treasure ship 'Shang Shang'.

The Shenshang can accommodate more than a hundred passengers, more than 40 of whom are crew members and boatmen, and there are more than [-] people from the Xu family.

Shortly after Li Fan boarded the ship, everyone in the Xu family's inventory arrived, and the Shenshang Company activated the spiritual power array and left Dragon Scale Island.

Apart from coming to the Falling Star Islands from Dan Country with his uncle when he was young, Li Fan had never traveled so far.

He went on the deck of the sea ship, where he breathed the sea breeze and watched the treasure ship ride the wind and waves.

There were already many members of the Xu family on the deck, and acquaintances were in small groups, chatting excitedly.

On the deck, Li Fan also met the fifth elder of the Xu family who led the team to Lingchahai City this time.

The fifth elder is a woman named Xu Xinzhi.

Xu Xinzhi is a master in the middle stage of foundation building. He is over 30 years old, but his appearance is that of someone in his [-]s.

She had taken a beauty-preserving pill before establishing her foundation, but her appearance remained forever.

Li Fan had heard about this fifth elder. She seemed to be a beautiful woman, but she had a very strong personality.

But the most famous one is that this fifth elder is said to be born with a destiny of defeating the husband, and has killed three Taoist monks.

Rumors about Xu Xinzhi's horoscope were widely circulated in the southwest of Luo Xing Islands. People in the Yu family and Xiang family ridiculed and ridiculed this matter.

Li Fan also saw this fifth elder for the first time and couldn't help but take a second look.

At this time, Li Fan suddenly felt someone approaching from behind.

When he turned around, he saw an acquaintance.

"Hey, brother Li, are you going to Lingchahai with us too?"

The person behind Li Fan who greeted him was Xu He, the steward of Xujia Rice Shop.
