On the west side of the Ghost Prison Island, there is a Lingzhu City, where more than one million people live. The Ghost Prison Island has no unified dynasty, and each city is autonomous, and one city is one country.

Lingzhu City is one of the rare big cities on the Ghost Prison Island and the center on the west side of the Ghost Prison Island. With Lingzhu City as the center, there are more than 100 large and small cities around, with a total population of more than 20 million.

The seas around Lingzhu City are rich in a strange human-faced clam, and various spiritual beads will naturally be generated in the clam shell. These spiritual beads are full of the most pure heaven and earth elemental power, and can be refined medicine, refining weapons, or even swallowed directly.

Generally speaking, spiritual beads distinguish quality according to color and shape. There are some special spiritual beads that can even make people reach the sky in one step.

A certain pearl-picking girl was too tired and couldn't help but steal a spirit bead. As a result, she formed a golden elixir immediately and became a powerful cultivator.

There are also spiritual beads that turn into divine swords, kill the demon dragons, and eliminate harm for the people. The spiritual beads turn into beauty and serve a poor loser.

The Lingzhu City is full of legends. Although most of them are fabricated and fabricated, the Lingzhu is indeed widely used and of extremely high value.

Around the Lingzhu industry, more and more people gathered, so Lingzhu City was gradually established.

Lingzhu City is also the most important base of the Heart Sword Sect on the Ghost Prison Island, and is directly under the jurisdiction of the Heart Sword Sect.

The annual Lingzhu business can also provide a large amount of income for the Xinjian Sect. However, the Ghost Prison Island is too barren and the environment is too dangerous. If you are not careful, you will die here.

The Xinjian Sect governs Yunzhou and Qingzhou, and has a very vast territory. There are too many choices for sect masters, so naturally no one is willing to come to Lingzhu City.

Now the Lingzhu City is stationed in Lingzhu City, so it is hard and smelly. It has a very poor reputation in the sect and everyone hates it. So it was sent to Lingzhu City by the sect leader.

Xuan Shi has been here for almost fifty years, because he is unable to rest all day long, and his face is exhausted and bitter. He is wearing a blue Taoist robe and hair is scattered. He looks like a wandering charlatan, without a trace of extraordinary demeanor of a cultivator.

Just looking at the appearance, it is far from Xuanguo and Xuanye.

Xuan Guo was so rude to Xuan Shi, with his face always tense, and he didn't say a word. It was Xuan Ye and Xuan Shi who were still familiar with Xuan Ye, and the atmosphere was not too awkward.

Xuan Ye and Xuan Shi made a few polite sentences, then hurriedly turned to the topic and introduced Gao Zhengyang to Xuan Shi.

"This is Junior Brother Xuanyang, here to take over you and preside over the Lingzhu City. Senior Brother Xuanshi, you have worked hard all these years. The master of the sect specially transferred you to the East China Sea to cultivate..."

After hearing Xuan Ye’s introduction, Xuan Shi Fangzheng’s purple-red old face was suspicious. He glanced at Gao Zhengyang and said to Xuan Ye: “Where is such a young person in the Xuan generation? Where did he come from?”

Xuan Shi did not avoid Gao Zhengyang and asked questions directly in front of him. Gao Zhengyang was nothing, but Xuan Ye was a little embarrassed.

Xuan Ye hurriedly pulled Xuan Shi's sleeve: "Senior Brother Xuan Shi, Junior Brother Xuan Yang has obtained the inheritance of Senior Yuan Guang and has officially joined the sect. He is the youngest junior brother of our generation."

"Lingzhu City guards the west coast of the Ghost Prison Sea. Various monsters often land in the West Sea. Can he do it?"

Xuan Shi said with a serious expression: "There are more than one million people in Lingzhu City. If he can't do it, it will harm others and yourself!"

In front of Gao Zhengyang, Xuan Shi was not polite at all. Moreover, when he was speaking, he looked at Gao Zhengyang, which clearly meant that he was talking about Gao Zhengyang.

Gao Zhengyang smiled and didn't say anything. No wonder this old Taoist fell into such a dangerous place. His temper was really bad. As soon as he met, he directly questioned his ability in person.

Although he is responsible, it is difficult to do things well with this straightforward attitude.

You can be principled in life, but you should pay attention to methods and methods when doing things. If you curse others with a bad face, your heart is a kind heart, but you will often turn good things into bad things.

Being with light and dust is a state and a cultivation. This is two different things from letting go of the bottom line of principles and depravity and corruption. Integrating into the environment and trying to use all favorable conditions to do things well, this is being with light and dust.

People like Xuanshi are only suitable for practicing Taoism, but not for doing things. If they do not understand the ways of adapting, it is actually difficult to achieve very high achievements.

The human way changes, the world way changes, and the heaven way changes. Even the era is constantly changing. If you don’t know how to change, how can you practice Taoism?

Gao Zhengyang admires a stubborn and simple person like Xuanshi. Unfortunately, such a person is inappropriate after all. If he fails to do things, he will be difficult to achieve enlightenment.

Xuan Shi probably wouldn't notice this, he just thought he was upright and straightforward, not favoring his own feelings, and devoted himself to the public.

Although Xuan Shi was upright and stubborn, he was not stupid. He said in front of him that Gao Zhengyang was not good, but Gao Zhengyang was smiling and not angry at all. Instead, he revealed a kind of tolerance and understanding of the ignorant.

This looks a little wrong!

Xuan Shi looked at Xuan Ye, revealing his inquiry.

Xuan Ye sighed. How old is this Xuanshi, and it is still so unreliable to do things. He didn't ask clearly, just relying on speculation and questioning Gao Zhengyang in person.

However, no wonder Xuan Shi judges people by his appearance. Gao Zhengyang is too young! The worst thing about Xuan generation is over 100 years old. He is only in his twenties, and the gap is too big.

Such a new and tender face is indeed untrustable. Not to mention an old-fashioned person like Xuanshi, even himself is very suspicious of Gao Zhengyang.

However, the experience at sea told Xuan Ye that he should not behave in appearance and that his cultivation should not be measured by age.

Xuan Ye looked at Xuan Shi's old face and said sympathetically: "Senior Brother Xuan Shi, don't worry too much. Junior Brother Xuan Yang is a peerless genius in our sect. His cultivation is far above you and me."

Xuan Shi was even more confused. Why did Xuan Ye say that? Just this young man, what achievements could convince him?

Xuan Ye couldn't help laughing. Sure enough, Xuan Shi was just suspicious. He deliberately said slowly: "On the way, we met the Siren Devouring Whale..."

"How is it?" Xuan Shi looked at Gao Zhengyang again, guessing that he might have fought with the Siren Demon-Swallowing Whale. If he dares to do it, he can escape unstoppably, at least with some ability.

Xuan Ye said calmly: "Junior Brother Xuanyang took action alone and killed the Demon-Swallowing Whale with one sword."

"What?"

Xuan Shi's old eyes widened and looked at Xuan Ye in disbelief, "Do you say it again?"

"Junior Brother Xuanyang killed the Devouring Sea Demon Whale with one sword, and also eliminated a major problem for the Ghost Prison Sea. It is also a great thing for the Ghost Prison Island."

Xuan Ye said: "Mr. Xuanyang has this magical power and is in charge of Lingzhu City, he will definitely protect the safety of his country. Senior Brother Xuanshi can rest assured."

"Is this true?" Xuan Shi still couldn't believe it. He looked at Xuan Guo. Xuan Ye, the old slippery guy, might be nonsense, but Xuan Guo, the master of Lingjian Peak, would not talk nonsense.

Xuan Guo said with a cold face: "Of course it's true. Can we still lie to you?"

Xuan Shi was really confused now, and he stared at Gao Zheng speechless for a long time.

He has been in the Ghost Prison Sea for decades and has also seen a squid devil-swallowing whale once.

The squinting demon whale travels against the sea, and wherever it passes, it destroys the tsunami of thousands of miles and destroys all living beings. Once, it passed by the west coast, and the tsunami killed more than one million people.

Xuan Shi also walked up and gestured twice, but threw the flying sword over but did not react at all. This made Xuan Shi extremely desperate and made him deeply realize how powerful the Siren Demon Whale was.

Although the Devouring Sea Whale is only at the tenth level, its demonic power is so strong that it is probably better than the Nascent Soul of the human race. Such a big monster has been rampant in the waters of the Ghost Prison, and no one dares to snatch its edge.

What kind of virtue does Gao Zhengyang have? He killed the Devouring Sea Demon Whale with one sword? He has the mountain-suppressing magic sword of the sect?

Xuan Shi couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he thought about it, and he fell into a state of dullness.

Seeing Xuan Shi's stupid look, Xuan Ye felt inexplicably happy. Are you always tough and stubborn? Will you ask again? Are you scared? Hahahaha...

Even the junior Zhenxiu who was standing aside couldn't help but smirk. I have to say that Xuan Shi's toughness just now was particularly fun compared to his stupid appearance now.

In fact, Zhenxiu's cultivation level is a little weaker, and her vision and insight are much worse. She only knows that the Siren Demon Swallowing Whale is particularly powerful, even stronger than her master. But she does not have a clear understanding of how strong it is.

The same is true for other young disciples. They do not really understand the horror of the Siren Demon-Swallowing Whale.

Even Xuanye is a little worse. Only Xuanguo can sense the demonic power of the Siren Demon Whale at close range and know the power of the Siren Demon Whale.

It is precisely because of this that Xuanguo understood Gao Zhengyang's terror. She knew very well that in the future, even now, Gao Zhengyang was enough to compete with her.

In a few decades, when Gao Zhengyang advances to the Golden Pill, I am afraid that few people from all over the sect can compare with Gao Zhengyang. If Gao Zhengyang achieves the Nascent Soul, then the sect will probably change his surname to Gao.

It was because of this understanding that Xuanguo reminded his disciple Zhenxiu to stay away from Gao Zhengyang. Although Zhenxiu is talented, she is much worse than Gao Zhengyang.

Especially Gao Zhengyang's city is deep and deep, but she can't see through the other person's thoughts no matter how young she meets. Every time she meets, she instinctively feels cautious.

Of course, this is also because she saw Gao Zhengyang use his own eyes to easily kill the Siren Demon-Swallowing Whale. She has a deep understanding of his power.

If he didn't know this, even if Gao Zhengyang was scheming, Xuanguo would not take it seriously.

Naturally, Xuan Guo would not tell her these thoughts to outsiders. She also rationally kept a distance from Gao Zhengyang. Such people were not something she could win over.

Xuan Shi didn't have so many complicated thoughts. He stayed for a while before he suddenly realized it. He bowed to Gao Zhengyang and bowed and bowed: "Swallowing the sea of ​​the demon whale has caused trouble for many years. My junior brother can kill this demon and benefit the people, and have immeasurable merits."

"Our responsibility is not worth mentioning when killing demons and eliminating demons."

Gao Zhengyang waved his whisk and turned to his side to greet him.

Xuan Shi was also a little embarrassed when he remembered what he said before. He laughed dryly and admitted his mistakes and said, "It's because I'm so superficial and said some rude words. Brother Xuanyang, please don't be surprised."

Gao Zhengyang said calmly: "Senior Brother Xuanshi is also serious, and I am ashamed of you."

"We are all my family, so you don't have to be so polite."

Xuan Ye smoothed out and said, "Let's talk about it later." He said to Xuan Shi again, "There are more than 100 trial disciples this time, so please arrange it with Senior Brother Xuan Shi."

"This is nature." Xuan Shi agreed.

Xuanye asked Xuanguo and Gao Zhengyang to enter the Taoist temple first, and he pulled Xuanshi alone and said, "Senior Brother Xuanshi, you hand over the work. When the trial is over, you can follow us back to the sect. This is the order of the sect leader."

The Ghost Prison Sea is a huge sea area with a large population and many complex interest relations. It was the sect’s formal resolution. Of course, there were relevant formal orders.

Xuan Shi took the order, read it with his spiritual sense, and then faced his own orders and confirmed that it was correct. Only then did he feel completely at ease.

Xuan Shi didn't think how hard the Ghost Prison Sea was. He had been here for decades and had a lot of feelings for it. He was so reluctant to leave just like this.

However, he is a person who believes in the truth. No matter what the sect is for, as long as it is a formal resolution, he will unconditionally implement it.

Xuan Shi said: "The situation in Ghost Prison Island is quite complicated. The Iron Armor Sect, Yunguang Sect, and these major sects are constantly expanding their forces to the west. Especially the newly emerging Tiangui Sect and Fenglei Sect, which are in full swing, and are now aggressive. If this continues, something will happen sooner or later in the Ghost Prison Island..."

Xuan Shi was very uneasy about the situation on the Ghost Prison Island. The main reason is that several sects have developed very well in recent years, so they have ideas about Lingzhu City.

Lingzhu City can be said to be the most valuable specialty on Ghost Prison Island. The transaction profit of Lingzhu City accounts for more than half of Ghost Prison Island.

If these sects want to develop, they need more resources. Most of the resources needed by magic weapons, sword weapons, elixirs, secret techniques, and the sects need to buy them with money.

Where does the money come from?

If a sect wants to maintain it, it must have a stable source of income. On the Ghost Prison Island, the Spirit Pearl is the most stable and profitable business.

Several sects know the power of the Heart Sword Sect, but Ghost Prison Island is optional for the Heart Sword Sect, but it is a fundamentally important place for the Fenglei Sect and Tiangui Sect.
