——Travel first and then change—

After walking out of the Southern Barbarian Realm, Yu Chen's spirituality immediately began to become active, and the vital energy around him seemed to be more full of vitality. The vital energy in the Southern Barbarian Realm seemed to have a faint silence, roughness and irregular feeling.

After walking forward for another day, when he was about to reach the bank of ink, the contrast was even more obvious. Yu Chen couldn't help but sigh: "No wonder Tongming said that the Southern Barbarians are not suitable for cultivation! Compared with the external vital environment, the Southern Barbarians' environment is indeed not very good."

After sighing, Yuchen continued to move forward and arrived at the ink.

Ink, also known as Black Water, is a river that can directly connect to the South China Sea. In the past, ink was very strange and had difficulty traveling, but now it has improved a lot. It is an important channel for communication between low-level monks in Middle Earth and low-level monks in South China Sea.

When he arrived at the edge of the ink, Yuchen found a market hidden in the lake according to the information given by Taoist Tongming.

This market is covered with fog all year round. The milky white fog can prevent outsiders from exploring. Even Yu Chen's spirituality and magic power can only see the surrounding environment two or three meters. He followed the method given by Taoist Tongming. A golden-edged ink-patterned spirit turtle with a diameter of one meter swam out of the water and raised his head.

Yu Chen took out a spiritual fruit from his sleeve and handed it out. The spirit turtle opened its mouth and swallowed it slowly, and slowly approached the shore. After Yu Chen sat on it, he slowly returned to the water and swam towards the market.

Speaking of this market, it is said that it is a golden-edged ink-patterned spiritual turtle that has been practicing for thousands of years. It accidentally entered a real dream and was built according to the experience in the dream. Therefore, Yuchen, who rode the spiritual turtle, looked at the buildings that were simple but still quite familiar, and always felt like he had traveled through time again.

However, after Yuchen walked into the market and watched the scenes of coming and going in various strange clothes, shouting loudly, asking each other, and bartering, the strange feeling in his heart disappeared without a trace.

He found the deacon in the market, which was an old man carrying a turtle shell. After seeing Yu Chen, he smiled and said, "It's so long that I haven't seen such a pure monk. Fellow Taoist, are you going to go to the South China Sea to experience it?"

"I am planning to go to the South China Sea, so please let me go!" Yu Chen said, then took out a few spiritual materials and handed them to the deacon.

The old man with the tortoise shell took the materials, glanced at them, and said, "Do you know the rules?"

"Please let me know!"

Seeing this, the old man smiled: "Wait a minute, you go to the water to find a place to sit down. My juniors will naturally go to find you. As long as you satisfy him and are willing to carry you, you can!"

"Thank you for your advice, senior."

Yu Chen bowed to thank him, and then found a place near the water around the island, recited the mantra, and a faint light flowed out of Yu Chen, dispelling the miscellaneous aura in the surrounding land, and opening up a temporary temple here.

However, the island itself had a wonderful aura, and a faint light of spiritual light gathered on the land and kept shaking. Yu Chen outlined a series of seal scripts to stabilize the aura of the Taoist temple, and then breathed in and practiced the skills while calculating the skills.

Soon, a spirit turtle crawled out of the water. Compared to the one carrying Yuchen into the market, the gold edge of this spirit turtle was more complicated. After it climbed to Yuchen, it started to breathe along with it.

The rhythm of these spiritual turtles swallowing and exhaling their vital energy is very interesting. They exhale and inhale, one inhaled, one in a fast and one slow, and they combine hardness and softness, forming their own yin and yang, and conforming to a certain principle of Taoism and law in the dark. Yuchen observed it for a while and thought about it.

In Yu Chen's eyes, there was an illusory spiritual turtle above the head of the spirit turtle, and the illusory spiritual turtle was the core true meaning of this breathing method.

He smiled and chanted the mantra of Purification of Heaven and Earth again in front of the Spirit Turtle. Every time he chanted, the Spirit Turtle would suck and spit on Yuchen for a while, displaying all the essence of his own method of swallowing and sucking energy.

The two communicated in such a silent manner, and the dojo around Yuchen became solidified, and the phantom evolved became clearer. Finally, after the spirit turtle itself could open a small temporary dojo around it, it became larger in front of Yuchen, turning into three feet in size, and raised its head to signal Yuchen to its back.

Yuchen did not refuse, because the traffic on the black water was originally a spiritual turtle as a ship.

The golden-edged ink-patterned spiritual turtle that had been practicing for thousands of years had long condensed its magic core and reached the so-called fairyland. It can be called a turtle fairy. After experiencing the dream, it occupied the position of the Ink Water God and had countless magical powers near the Ink Water. Few people have the courage to compete with him.

The descendants of his descendants wander up and down the ship on the black water, which is also a way to make friends with monks and exchange methods from them. Even Yuchen has heard in the market these days that if someone can get the favor of the spirit turtle, the turtle fairy will not mind them following the other party.

For this reason, Yu Chen has seen more than once see some monks losing money to please the spirit turtle.

Yu Chen naturally didn't have this idea, but he didn't mind being better with the spirit turtle. After sitting on the back of the spirit turtle, Yu Chen still practiced normally. He was interested in the spirit turtle and did not involve his fundamental method. Yu Chen didn't mind teaching it one or two.

The spiritual turtle is also rewarded. When on the road, he is willing to follow Yuchen's instructions and stay a little bit and collect some spiritual medicines.

Although most of these spiritual medicines have their own power, they are not very strong. Yu Chen and the spiritual turtle cooperated easily to hide their spiritual senses and pick half of the spiritual objects they guarded, and divide them equally. If you are not lucky and encounter some terrifying beasts, the spiritual turtle will activate the breath left by the turtle fairy on its body and force them to retreat.

Occasionally, when I encounter other monks sitting on the turtle, I will exchange the materials I need with him.

Along the way, more and more materials were accumulated in Yuchen's marten bag. The magic weapons at hand were also proud to make progress again. For example, the Yin Snake Chain itself was just snake grass from the barbarian area south of Yuchen, combined with the snake soul, snake bone powder and other materials of the demon snake, and refined with Wuwen Sacrifice. Although it was later refined with immortal magic and added new magic bans, the foundation was too poor and it was increasingly unable to keep up with Yuchen's battle.

Secondly, fire snake darts, heart protection bells, green light mirrors, and shade windmills all have similar problems.

Either the foundation is insufficient or the material is too poor. After Yuchen exchanged enough materials this time, he re-purposed these magic tools with Yin and Yang and Five Elements, and most of them increased their power a lot.

Like the Yin Snake Chain, Yuchen incorporated some water jade to increase its toughness. The Fire Snake Dart added gold and iron to increase its sharpness. The heart-protecting bell swallowed the essence of spiritual wood, and the green light mirror also accommodates water jade...
