Chapter 210, Catching Golden Swordfish
"Brother, my sister and I are not very advanced, can we help?" Mo Xiaofan observed Zhang Qingshan and felt that he was more upright and not as cold as Huang Chengyuan, so he decided to participate.
"It doesn't matter. There are many people on Feiyu Island doing this task, but not many can succeed. You just need to follow me to set up the net. You don't have to fight with the golden swordfish." Zhang Qingshan said.
"Okay, let's join in and do this task with our senior brother." Mo Xiaofan agreed.
"Okay, here are your five points for refining the Snake Saliva Pill. I will transfer it to you first." Zhang Qingshan was very happy. He felt that Mo Xiaofan was not simple. His cultivation level was not low at such a young age, and he could refine the first-level
With high-grade elixirs, he is very likely to become a master of alchemy in the future.
For alchemy masters, even if their cultivation level is not high in Qianshui Palace, their status is very high. Some alchemy masters in the foundation-building realm can even become honorary elders.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Zhang. When will we go on the mission?"
After receiving five points, Mo Xiaofan suddenly had ten points. He felt happy and asked quickly.
"I'm going this afternoon. I have to redeem some Spirit-enhancing Pills to replenish my spiritual energy first. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth on Feiyu Island is relatively thin, so I have to bring more Spirit-Enriching Pills to be able to persevere." Zhang Qingshan said.
"Oh, let's prepare some as well." In fact, Mo Xiaofan can refine the Spirit-accumulating Pill by himself, but he lacks the elixir and spiritual materials.
"Zhang Qingshan, are you really going to go against me for the two outer disciples?" Seeing the three people talking as if no one was around, Huang Chengyuan's face darkened and he hummed.
"Huang Chengyuan, let's have a fight if you dare. My mother-in-law acts like a woman. She only knows how to bully the outer disciples. Just ask." Zhang Qingshan did not give him any face.
"Hmph, I want to see if you can complete the task?" Huang Chengyuan subconsciously took a step back after hearing Zhang Qingshan's challenge.
When he was in the inner sect, he was beaten many times by Zhang Qingshan, and he didn't want to be beaten again in front of these outer sect disciples.
"none of your business."
Zhang Qingshan cursed and left with Mo Xiaofan and Xiao Yu.
"What do you want to exchange for?" Zhang Qingshan asked.
"I want to exchange some medicinal materials to refine the Spirit-Absorbing Pill, but the points are too few, so I'm afraid I won't be able to exchange them for much?" Mo Xiaofan shook his head and said.
"Hey, why did I forget this? Junior Brother Xiao, what is your success rate in refining the Soul-Absorbing Pill? Do you think I will make a big profit?" Zhang Qingshan asked.
"Yun Ling Dan is only a first-level mid-level elixir. My success rate must be at least 50%." Mo Xiaofan said.
In fact, he also concealed the true situation. He could refine even the Snake Saliva Pill with 100% success, not to mention the Soul Accumulating Pill, which would almost never fail.
"Fifty percent?" Zhang Qingshan asked in shock. He thought about it secretly and said, "Junior Brother Xiao, let's do this. I will exchange the medicinal materials for you to refine them. I only need 30% of the elixir, and the rest
How about taking it as payment?"
"Senior Brother Zhang is so generous and supports us. We are very grateful." Mo Xiaofan said with fists in his hands.
Soon, Zhang Qingshan went to redeem thirty portions of medicinal materials and spent sixty points, all of which were handed over to Mo Xiaofan.
Mo Xiaofan also exchanged his ten points for five materials for the Spirit-Absorbing Pill, which added up to thirty-five materials.
Back in the room, Mo Xiaofan quickly started refining. In just two hours, he successfully refined all the pills and obtained thirty-five furnaces of Yunling Pills, totaling 322 pills.
"Senior brother, these are your spirit-accumulating pills, forty-eight in total."
After the meeting, Mo Xiaofan handed Zhang Qingshan several jade bottles, which were full of spirit-accumulating pills.
"Haha, thank you so much, Junior Brother Xiao." Zhang Qingshan was very happy. You must know that when redeeming the Soul-Absorbing Pill in the sect, you can get ten points per bottle, but only four points per bottle.
If he exchanged all the forty-eight Spirit-accumulating Pills at the sect, he would need 120 points. In total, he earned 60 points.
Immediately, he set off with Mo Xiaofan and Xiao Yu, heading directly to Feiyu Island through the teleportation array on the island.
Feiyu Island is a desert island with an area of about a hundred square kilometers, but there are also some low and scattered buildings in the central area of the island.
The teleportation array leading to other islands is between these buildings, and there are dedicated disciples guarding it. It is not only a sect task, but you can also catch golden swordfish here to complete additional tasks.
Because a certain elder Yuan likes to eat golden swordfish, he set up a long-term mission in the sect with a large number of point rewards. Each golden swordfish can be rewarded with ten to twenty points.
For inner sect disciples, going out to catch a dozen golden swordfish is worth more than 100 points.
And if you are lucky and can catch dozens of golden swordfish, that will be hundreds of points, which is absolutely enviable and makes you happy just thinking about it.
However, catching swordfish is not that easy because they can fly.
At the same time, they like to fly over the island, so this island is called Flying Fish Island.
Mo Xiaofan followed Zhang Qingshan out of the teleportation array and looked into the distance. Except for the bare islands, there were not even any plants at all. They were all bare rocks.
"Senior Brother Zhang, can those golden swordfish really fly?" Xiao Yu asked curiously.
"Of course, otherwise, why would this island be called Feiyu Island? Moreover, if the golden swordfish doesn't fly to the island, you can't catch it at all. Their speed is too fast." Zhang Qingshan nodded and said.
"But why haven't we seen any flying fish?" Xiao Yu looked around and found no flying fish.
"Well, every few days, there will be fog on Feiyu Island. At that time, golden swordfish will fly over the island. With their speed and the fog, it will be particularly difficult to catch them."
"Brother, how can we catch golden swordfish?" Mo Xiaofan also asked curiously.
"First of all, we need to limit their speed. The usual method is to set up a net and use a special net to cover the trap. But you have to be lucky to encounter fish flying in.
Secondly, there are elixirs to assist, such as the snake saliva elixir, which can create a psychedelic field. Once the swordfish flies into this field, it will be psychedelic and will not know its direction, thus reducing its speed.
Others have other methods. In short, they all show their special abilities. As long as they can catch the golden swordfish, any method is acceptable." Zhang Qingshan taught the two of them without any secret.
"I wonder if I can use the formation?" Mo Xiaofan thought about his own formation. If he arranged a peak first-order trapping formation, he didn't know if he could trap the golden swordfish.
However, he did not ask immediately, intending to learn from Zhang Qingshan first and see how he did it.
Although I don't have a special net, I still have two furnaces of nearly twenty snake saliva pills on me, which may be of great use.
Later, Zhang Qingshan found a cliff near the edge of the desert island, and took the two of them to set up a network array of twenty to thirty square meters.
Mo Xiaofan sensed that the location chosen by Zhang Qingshan was a wind outlet, and perhaps more golden swordfish would fly with the wind.
"Senior Brother Zhang, shall we wait here?" Xiao Yu asked after the arrangement was completed.
"Well, let's practice here. Although the spiritual energy of heaven and earth here is relatively thin, you should bring the Peiyuan Pill, right?" Zhang Qingshan nodded.
"Yes, yes." Mo Xiaofan said with a smile. He knew how to make elixirs, but it would be unreasonable if he didn't even have the basic Peiyuan Dan.
Afterwards, the two of them walked to a nearby protruding rock and sat down to practice.
Mo Xiaofan is still unable to open his Dantian, nor can he take out the resources in the Five Elements Pearl space, so he can only earn and use them now.
When joining the outer sect, each outer sect disciple was given a small storage bag, which was only half a cube in size, but it was already a great benefit to these outer sect disciples.
You must know that except for some family members, ordinary casual cultivators basically have no chance to obtain storage bags. They have to carry a package when going out, which is extremely inconvenient.
Although they still have to carry bags outside the door, they still carry some clothes and sundries. Important things such as elixirs, spiritual stones, etc. are put into storage bags.
If the Five Elements Pearl space can be opened, Mo Xiaofan will be able to practice in the spirit stone, which will be more effective than taking pills, but now there is no way but to practice with Peiyuan Pill.
However, practicing with Peiyuan Dan is faster than practicing on earth, which is equivalent to practicing in an ordinary spiritual environment of heaven and earth.
"Xiao Yu, don't skimp, use it when you need it." Xiao Yu also had dozens of Yuan Pei Dan in her hand, all of which were given to her by Mo Xiaofan.
"Thank you, brother." Xiao Yu nodded sensibly, a smile blooming on his face.
Afterwards, the three of them practiced on the cliff until the next day. When Mo Xiaofan opened his eyes, a mist began to appear on the island, and it became thicker and thicker.
"It's starting to fog, and swordfish will fly to the island soon." Zhang Qingshan opened his eyes immediately and nodded to Mo Xiaofan.
"Senior Brother Zhang, what should we do?" Mo Xiaofan asked.
"In a moment, when a golden swordfish breaks into our net, you are responsible for helping to lower the net at the entrance, and I will catch it inside.
Of course, if you move fast enough and see a golden swordfish flying over, you can open a gap and let it in." Zhang Qingshan said excitedly.
"I understand." Mo Xiaofan called Xiao Yu, and together they guarded the entrance.
"Swish swish..."
Suddenly, a whistling sound came from above their heads. In the hazy mist, Mo Xiaofan and the other two people noticed that there was a faint golden light flashing around them.
That was the figure of the golden swordfish, but they were flying too fast, so it was impossible to see them clearly, only a golden light could be seen.
The three of them waited nervously, while the fog on the island gradually became thicker.
Mo Xiaofan noticed that Zhang Qingshan was extremely nervous, staring in the direction of the entrance, not daring to blink.
Mo Xiaofan stood next to the net at the entrance, grabbing the head of the net with one hand, ready to cover the entrance at any time.
"Senior brother, can you use spiritual energy to transform into a fish to catch fish in the mist?" Xiao Yu suddenly asked.
