Killing God - Chapter 31
Chapter 31 Herring Collection
After leaving the cave, the first thing that came into view was the pure white and clean beach. The blue and clear water gently surged, and the sea and sky were the same color. The sea breeze, coupled with the distant seabirds flying in the wind, was simply like a paradise. People felt as if they were in a painting.
At this moment, many youths had already come out of their respective caves. They were either grouped together in groups of twos and threes, or silently looking into the distance alone. They were all heading towards the same path as they came yesterday. As for their destination, it was unknown if they were all heading towards the same place.
In the sketch from yesterday’s book, there was also a sketch map of the six Bluefish Islands. It briefly introduced the location of the six Bluefish Islands and also highlighted some important locations. The Morning Star Palace was naturally one of the important locations marked out, so most of the youths strolled away knowingly when they saw it.
Shen Shi and Sun You walked in the crowd. Not long after, they saw Zhong Qinglu and the Zhong Qingzhu sisters walking over not far from them. Zhong Qinglu even turned around and glared at them forcefully. Only then did she walk away without saying a word of greeting. It seemed that the resentment from yesterday had not dissipated.
Sun You rolled his eyes and said to Shen Shi, “This girl’s temperament is really strange.”
Shen Shi snorted and said unhappily, “This morning, I was glared at so fiercely for no reason. I’m surprised.”
“Come on, let’s hurry up and find out where the Morning Star Palace is.”
According to Ling Xiao’s sketchy records and the markings on the bluefin sketch, the six islands of the bluefin were directly distinguished by numbers from head to tail. The island where Shen Shi and the others lived now, Located in the belly of the green carp, The location is called the Green Fish Three Islands, However, this island was the largest of the six, The location was also the best, so the rookie disciples and many senior brothers who had not broken through to the Qi Refining Realm, such as Su He yesterday, all lived on this island. Therefore, the Bluefish Three Islands were sometimes referred to as the Bluefish Main Island, or simply Qingyu Island, pointing directly at the island they were currently on.
The area of the three islands was very large. There was a small mountain range on each of the north, south, and west sides. It was undulating and filled with woods. Looking at the verdant area, one could occasionally hear the roars of apes and birds coming from the depths of the woods. As for the eastern part of the island, up to the center of the island, the terrain was relatively flat. Most of the buildings built in Lingxiao Sect were within this range.
Along the beach road, Not long after, Shen Shi and the others arrived at the place where they arrived at Bluefish Island yesterday. Outside the flat beach, the huge rock was still standing quietly in the seawater. It was hard to imagine what kind of power was capable of causing such a huge rock to soar into the sky yesterday, bringing many teenagers across the sea and arriving at Bluefish Island.
Judging from the bluefin sketch, this was still the periphery of Blue Fish Island. There was still a long way to go from the liveliest bluefin fair on Blue Fish Island where Morning Star Palace was located. Therefore, after casting a curious gaze at Bai Xianyan, many youths began to walk towards the center of the island.
Walking among the crowd, Shen Shi casually said to Sun You, “Looking at Ling Xiao last night, it was said that the place in the center of the island was called the Green Fish Market. Why does it sound so rustic? It looks like the name of a small seaside fish market village?”
Young friend Sun chuckled. “I’ve heard it before. It was said that when I first built a foundation on Bluefish Island and repaired it, I originally wanted to give it an elegant name. Who would have thought that one of the grandmasters who presided over the affairs here would be witty. He only said that the dust on the island was as dense as dogs and that if there was a fart of immortal energy, it would be called Bluefish Village. Afterwards, the other ancestors of the same sect really couldn’t stand it. After advising for a long time, they barely managed to change the word and used the slightly gentle Green Fish Collection to deal with it. ”
Shen Shi clapped his hands and smiled, “Aiya, from what you said, why do I suddenly feel that not only does this Bluegreen Fish Market not have a sense of earthiness, but it is actually enjoyed by both the elegant and the popular all of a sudden?”
Young Friend Sun was stunned for a moment before laughing heartily. He nodded his head repeatedly and said, “Exactly. Exactly. Don’t even mention it. Just now, it sounded rustic, but there was a Green Cloud Village in front of him. The name of the Green Fish Market immediately sounded much more pleasing to the ear.”
The two of them looked at each other and smiled. They walked side by side. They felt that their moods were relaxed. However, the people walking beside them looked over. They didn’t know why. A little farther away, the Zhong sisters were walking there. Zhong Qinglu snorted and said unhappily, “It’s inexplicable.”
Beside her, Zhong Qingzhu whispered, “Sister, don’t be angry with them anymore. There’s no need.”
Zhong Qinglu waved her hand. She didn’t know if she didn’t care what Zhong Qingzhu said at all. She just walked forward on her own. Zhong Qingzhu sighed and hurriedly followed.

The legend said that sometimes the earth energy would somehow turn into an elegant and popular herring fair. It was at the center of Green Fish Island. As many teenagers walked along the road, they gradually saw some houses appearing on the roadside. The further they went, the more houses and courtyards there were on the road. At the same time, there were many pedestrians walking around. From the looks of it, they were basically outer sect disciples dressed in the clothes of the High Firmament Sect.
According to Ling Xiao’s brief explanation, Like most Primordial Chaos Cultivation Sects, Only disciples who have cultivated to the Origin Condensation Realm are eligible to be accepted as direct disciples, If a rookie disciple was trapped in the Qi Refining Realm for a long time and was unable to break through, the Ling Xiao Sect would not be so heartless. Normally, with five years of apprenticeship as a round, the Ling Xiao Sect would continue to allow those disciples who were still able to break through to the Origin Condensation Realm five years later to stay on Bluefish Island to cultivate.
In fact, there were indeed people who hadn’t cultivated to the Origin Condensation Realm in the first five years but had broken through in the next five years. They would similarly be accepted as direct disciples by Lingxiao Sect and would then be recruited to Jinhong Mountain. Moreover, there were actually quite a few of them. Even if he was unable to break through in the second five years, that is, the entire ten years from beginning to end, Lingxiao Sect would still give him one last chance. In the last five years, there was no improvement, so he could only sigh that he had no immortal fate and had no choice but to leave Qingyu Island.
To be honest, among the rookies that Lingxiao Sect had always earned, those who could break through to the Qi Refining Realm and reach the Origin Condensation Realm were generally only about 30% to 40% of the total number of rookies. Among these people, the number of people who broke through in the first five years and the second five years was five to five. The youths who were able to break through in the first five years were naturally outstanding geniuses. The chances of reaching a higher realm in the future were much higher than those who broke through in the second five years. Therefore, Lingxiao Sect had always attached greater importance to this group of disciples. As for the number of people who broke through in the next five years, there were also a few rare late-maturing geniuses, but most of them were trapped in the Origin Condensation Realm for the rest of their lives.
As for the High Firmament Sect, it was as if they were giving alms The last five-year chance given to the disciples with the weakest talent was at this point. They could clearly see that it was not suitable for cultivating the Immortal Dao. Therefore, the disciples who had been on Bluefish Island for more than ten years had almost no hope of breaking through. Most of them were lucky, but they still left in the end.
Shen Shi thought about this in his heart. He was also a little nervous for a moment. Of course, he was filled with hope for the future. After all, this was the first day he had officially arrived in Lingxiao Sect. The future was a time of limitless possibilities. He was filled with the thought that he had better break through within five years. However, there were some worries in his heart. What if … he fell into the second five years or …
Uh!
Shen Shi hurriedly shook his head and threw these ominous thoughts out of his head.
“What are you doing?” Fellow Sun asked curiously.
Shen Shi grinned and casually found a reason to perfunctorily go over, then pulled Sun Youyou forward. As the number of roadside buildings increased, a few tall and large palaces gradually appeared in the surroundings. Apart from being lively, it was actually a little like a small city fair.
Especially when Shen Shi was looking around, Seeing the many houses that were open to the street, Ling Xiao Sect disciples would occasionally enter and exit. For no reason, they felt that they looked familiar and close. However, they still couldn’t believe it. They pulled Sun You closer to the roadside and looked at the houses carefully. They discovered that these houses that were open to the public were actually … shops.
A shop that sells all kinds of spirit materials needed for cultivation!
The name of this strange and earthy Green Fish Collection is indeed correct …
At the same time, Not a few teenagers noticed that something was amiss around them, For a moment, the crowd was in an uproar. The discussions continued. Most of them were astonished. However, Shen Shi was more cautious. He quickly discovered that the youngsters from the Ling Xiao Sect’s vassal families, such as Sun You and Zhong Qinglu, usually had calm expressions. They seemed to have known about this situation long ago.
Although they were a little surprised, there was no way they would make more moves when they first arrived, so after a while, the group of teenagers continued to move forward slowly. In the crowd, Shen Shi whispered to Sun You, “Why is there a shop here? You should know the reason, right?”
Yesterday, Senior Brother Su told us a lot about the rules on Green Fish Island, didn’t you forget? “Young Friend Sun smiled slightly and looked around before saying in a low voice,” Yesterday, Senior Brother Su told us a lot about the rules on Green Fish Island, didn’t you? ”
Shen Shi seemed to be deep in thought and slowly nodded. “It’s like this. Almost everyone doesn’t have spirit crystals, let alone other spirit materials” he said.
Young friend Sun chuckled and said, “Exactly. Therefore, during the past five years, the high and mighty teachers of the Soaring Firmament Sect have forced all of us newbies to be in a difficult situation. Then, we will go all out to earn spirit crystals and all kinds of spirit materials. It is said that only under such circumstances can we truly see if a person has a future.”
After he finished speaking, he clicked his tongue twice. Shen Shi turned around and saw that there was no sign of dissatisfaction from Sun You. According to this rule, the most disadvantageous thing was targeting a disciple from a wealthy aristocratic family like him. On the contrary, it was beneficial to a weak disciple from the Shen Clan like Shen Shi who had come to Lingxiao Sect.
As he thought about this, Shen Shi said, “I was wondering why Ling Xiao briefly mentioned the various tasks that the rookies had set up on Green Fish Island. It seems that this might be a way to earn spirit crystals.”
Young friend Sun smiled and nodded, “Exactly. Apart from that, there’s also …”
Before he could finish his words, a scream suddenly sounded from the crowd in front of him. It was filled with shock and fear. Even the voice sounded a bit sharper and harsher than usual. At the same time, a loud noise rang out. Many teenagers immediately rushed forward and said,
“Ah! What kind of monster is that …”
“No, no, then … God …”
“Damn it, that can’t be … a demon!”
