Chapter 82: Opening up a cave [For further reading]
A month passed in a flash.
During this month, except for taking a "blue algae pill", Wang Ping had to meditate and practice magic, or take out the book "Thousand Demons Picture Book" to study the knowledge of monsters recorded on it without any abnormal behavior.
Not far away, there is a cave with the "Blue Whale Master" of the Jindan stage monk, and there are caves with countless foundation-building monks around. Wang Ping dared not take out the two treasures, "Heaven and Earth Shell" and the Spirit Eye Stone, under such circumstances.
After a month of this, Wang Ping directly returned to the cave and took back the deposit, and then left in a disgrace.
When he left, the white-haired old man in charge of the caving rented a house comforted him and vaguely hinted that if he wanted to practice here for a long time, he could try to sign up for the Guards of White Whale Island.
Of course, Wang Ping did not have this interest.
It is true that the members of the guards of White Whale Island can practice this spiritual vein.
However, as a member of the guard team, he not only has to participate in the security patrols of the market and islands, but also has to be subject to various jurisdictions from the monks above. This has no attraction for Wang Ping, who has become accustomed to freedom.
After leaving the spiritual vein, he found no one to call Bai Yu out, and then rode Bai Yu all the way north to leave Bai Whale Island.
Now Wang Ping has a detailed map of the sea areas around the Qiansha Islands. According to the map, Bai Whale Island is located in the southwest of the main island of Qiansha Island, "Jinsha Island", about 5,000 miles away from "Jinsha Island".
He had seen it a long time ago that the sea area of Beluga Island thousands of miles northwards, with hundreds of islands of all sizes, half of which were small islands with an area of less than a thousand acres.
Not to mention spiritual veins on this kind of island, it is not easy to open up even a place to live.
After all, there is a storm season every year on the sea. Once a storm hits, the island without mountains, rivers and trees will not know what it will be destroyed in the storm.
The terrain of these small islands is not very suitable for building caves downwards.
But Wang Ping’s current plan is that if he really cannot find a suitable long-term practice place outside, he will find a deserted island like this to temporarily live in a period of time, and then go to "Jinsha Island" to sign up for the "Island-Snatching Conference".
In short, he absolutely does not want to live next to other immortal cultivators.
He rode on Baiyu to parade on the sea. During this period, he saw many demon hunting ships driving sea boats to hunt demons, and also saw caves and places to practice established by other immortal cultivators on some islands.
Whether it is the monks on the demon hunting ship or the immortals on the island, after he appears, he clearly shows a look of guard against him, and even directly warns.
There are no laws and regulations at sea, and it is not uncommon for immortals to be "pirates".
Therefore, once you leave an island with good security like White Whale Island, every cultivator will be wary of other monks you see.
Of course, although there are no laws and regulations in the world of immortal cultivation, there are also good and bad people who are obsessed with profit and desire, as well as those who are righteous.
Therefore, some people will be blinded by the desire to kill people and seize treasures at sea, and some will also draw their swords to help when they see unfairness.
Moreover, unless the cultivation level is higher than a great level, it is difficult to say who will win and lose without knowing the enemy's background in advance.
Even if those reckless people among the "pirates" can succeed once or twice, they will easily be wiped out after hitting the iron plate.
Therefore, it is not very rare to kill people and seize treasures, but it is not everywhere.
Most of the time, just like the situation that Wang Ping encountered, after meeting at sea, strangers would maintain a safe distance between each other until they no longer met.
After nearly half a month of patrolling the sea and visiting nearly twenty islands with an area similar to Tianxin Island or larger ones, Wang Ping completely gave up on the idea of opening up caves on these islands.
It’s easy to say that there is no place where spiritual energy gathers on these islands. Although there are many monks and mortals living on them, there is no restraint at all.
But the island with small spiritual veins or spiritual energy gathers is like a small white whale island.
The foundation-building monks who occupy the place where spiritual veins and spiritual energy gather will also establish island guards like White Whale Island to protect the island from invasion by other monks and monsters.
If other casual cultivators want to settle down on the island and practice, they will also have to pay a certain amount of spirit stones as protection fee every year!
For Wang Ping, he obviously couldn't accept both of these situations.
So after half a month of parade, he found a small island that seemed pretty good and stayed there temporarily, preparing to practice here for half a year until the "Island Seizing Conference" was held.
The small island he chose was about 3,000 acres. There was a hill more than 40 meters above sea level in the center of the island. It could barely open a cave inside the mountain to live in it.
Because he only lived here for less than a year, Wang Ping was too lazy to name this island.
After he decided to settle here temporarily, he took out the tools he used to mine and dug the cave. He also called Xiaofeng out to help dig the cave.
This took about three days to dig a cave ten feet deep.
Next, Wang Ping spent about five days digging two stone chambers around the cave.
In fact, at this point, the internal structure of this simple cave has been completed.
However, Wang Ping was cautious in his life and lacked a sense of security for such a cave with only one exit.
So he spent another seven days digging through the entire hill, digging out another exit on the other side of the mountain, and then filling and blocking the exit with soil and stone.
Then we will arrange the formation.
A qualified immortal cultivator's cave must be protected by formations.
The existence of the formation can not only hide the situation in the cave, but also give the cultivators in the cave enough reaction time when they encounter an attack.
In the cave without formation protection, immortals must be worried when meditating and practicing, for fear that someone will take advantage of the opportunity to attack themselves while they are meditating.
But with the protection of the formation, the cultivator can feel at ease to practice in seclusion.
If there is such a powerful killing formation to protect the cave, even if the cultivator goes out for a long trip, he doesn't have to worry that the cave will be taken advantage of.
Wang Ping still won’t arrange those powerful killing arrays, but there is still no problem with setting up a [Mist-Shadowed Mistake] that can cover up the situation of the cave and provide certain protection capabilities.
With this formation, even if other monks discovered his cave, they would definitely not dare to attack rashly without knowing what kind of cultivation the owner of the cave was.
You should know that most casual cultivators are short of money and do not understand the way of formations, so their practice places do not have formation protection.
The cave with formation protection is either the master is mostly a foundation-building cultivator, or a peak Qi-refining cultivator with extraordinary means and rich wealth.
