…
"Panlong Island?"
Roger couldn't help but whispered.
At this moment.
A thick fog rose over the sea in the distance.
The oncoming sea breeze also became noisy.
There was a noisy sound in the cabin.
Roger could sense it.
The ship's forward speed was decreasing rapidly.
The sailors were running about on the deck.
The old captain, who had the blood of the indigenous people of the ancient continent, gave commands in a voice like thunder.
He didn't speak the Common Tongue very well.
If it weren't for the authority of perception.
Roger couldn't even understand what he was saying!
He lowered his head and listened carefully for a while.
There was nothing special about confirming the old captain's orders.
Just let everyone slow down as they pass through the sea ahead.
that's all.
The divine ship slowly drifted into the fog ahead.
The sailors looked terrified.
They seemed full of fear of this unknown environment.
But the thick fog could not block Roger's vision.
As early as when we drove into the fog.
Roger saw the island standing above the sea!
Yes.
Panlong Island is not floating on the sea.
But it is suspended in the sky!
Its shape is almost exactly the same as the Sky Island that Roger had seen in the 8th Historical World!
I don’t know if it’s because of the refraction of sunlight.
At this moment, Panlong Island is shining with golden light like the sun.
One look at it will easily make people want to worship it!
…
"Insight: You discovered 'Panlong Island', and you sensed traces of intelligent life on it..."
…
"Upgraded Perception: You realize that there are no living creatures on 'Panlong Island'"
…
"Hint: Your Panlong Ring is getting hot! You realize that Panlong Island is a site of ancient ancestors similar to the 'Lost Island'. There may be traces of the lives or cultivation of Qi Refiners on it..."
…
It is indeed Panlong Island!
In "The Lord of the Rings".
The restless Panlong ring was almost about to rush out by itself!
To be honest.
Encounter the ruins of ancient people.
Roger himself also wanted to go up and take a look!
only……
"It's more important to save people!"
Roger gritted his teeth and rejected the temptation!
no way.
Although there are no living things on Panlong Island.
But what if there is some kind of mechanism or magic array?
It would be funny if you got trapped by accident!
Now is the time to race against time to reach the ancient continent.
"I'd better leave the coordinates and check them again after I finish my trip to the Ancient Continent!"
Roger thought with a little regret.
It was a bit painful for him to give up entering the ancient ruins of this level.
You know.
The "Three-Point Energy Bomb" in his hand came from "Xianpeng Island", which is at the same level as Panlong Island.
The "Lost Island" he had visited before also brought Roger a lot of benefits.
If the situation wasn't really urgent.
He really doesn't want to miss this opportunity!
…
"Can we drive faster and cross this sea directly?"
In the cabin.
Roger reluctantly found the old captain and asked.
Unexpectedly, the old captain showed an embarrassment:
"Can't."
then.
He stammered in his awkward Common Language:
"The Fairy Island, a must-go place, kowtow, pray, all it takes is half an hour..."
Roger frowned.
His eyes swept over the data column.
…
"Ascended Perception (Language Comprehending): You realize that the old captain wants to tell you.
The 'Panlong Island Sea' is the only way from the sea to the east coast of the ancient continent.
When ships pass by here.
You have to slow down.
And they have to pray and kowtow for half an hour on the small island below Panlong Island.
Only in this way can we reach the Ancient Continent safely..."
…
"What? You still need to pray and kowtow?"
"Half an hour?"
Roger rolled his eyes.
He asked seriously:
"Is this necessary?"
The old captain nodded very firmly:
"No doubt about it."
"Okay...then go and worship."
"But after that, we have to hurry on."
"Cecilia should have told you the rules."
Roger said with a look of dissatisfaction on his face.
The old captain nodded again.
Roger left the captain's room and returned to the deck.
After a while.
The magic ship quietly docked on the small island below Panlong Island.
The old captain personally brought a few sailors to pray.
The remaining sailors were also muttering something on the deck.
As for Roger.
No one noticed Roger.
…
Above Panlong Island.
A nimble shadow quietly slipped into the outermost "golden light".
With the help of the "Panlong Ring".
Roger arrived safely inside the mountain protection formation.
The next moment.
Alpine loft.
Small bridge and flowing water.
Lakeside cottage.
Temple stone statues.
A series of familiar and intimate scenes came into Roger's sight.
Although this place, like the Lost Island, has been deserted for many years.
But because the mountain protection formation is still working.
The architectural objects inside are well preserved.
It's a pity that the people on the island cleaned up very well when they left.
Roger took a quick look through the residences of the Qi Refiners.
Except for some unknown herbs and cheap clothes.
Nothing else was found.
Compared to the Lost Island.
The Panlong Island complex is much larger.
Despite holding the token.
But Roger's "Heavenly Vision and Earthly Hearing" was still suppressed by the mountain protection formation.
This added a lot of trouble to his actions of collecting supplies and tracking down traces.
Fortunately, Roger has an insider.
It is located in the square to the west of the Panlong Island complex.
Roger released the Panlong spirit from the Panlong ring!
Next second.
The dragon spirit moved quickly among the buildings excitedly, as if returning to its hometown.
Just let him roar and celebrate as he pleased.
No one on the island responded to him.
Panlong's excitement gradually subsided.
Roger watched him fly several circles around the island.
Finally, he resigned himself to his fate and fell beside Roger.
"Was this your territory?"
Sensed the depressed mood of Panlong Spirit.
Roger tried to establish a deeper level of communication with him.
Panlong nodded.
"The people here should have left..."
"Do you know where they went?"
Roger asked again.
Panlong looked confused.
He didn't shake his head.
It seemed that he simply didn't understand the meaning of Roger's question.
Roger thought about it.
He asked for the third time:
"Is there anything valuable on the island?"
"Um……"
"I want to take it back as a souvenir."
When it comes to the last sentence.
Roger couldn't help but add "bluff".
Panlong stood there in a daze for a while.
Then it suddenly flew up!
Roger raised an eyebrow.
A look of joy on his face!
Immediately following.
He followed Panlong into the main hall in the northern part of the building complex!
There is an insider.
It is naturally easy to search.
It takes less than 10 minutes.
All the valuable things in this huge Panlong Island are in Roger's hands!
…
"These Qi Refiners are really thrifty!"
"It's just a move, why should I take everything with me?"
In the open space outside the hall.
Roger quickly counted the spoils.
Immediately, I couldn't help but complain in my heart.
The gains from this trip to Panlong Island were far less than Roger had expected.
All I can say is that the Qi Refiners left in an absolutely orderly manner.
They took almost everything.
Only a few things were left out.
There are only three of them that are more valuable.
…
The first one is a magic weapon.
Its name is "Taichu Mother and Child Cauldron".
This thing is divided into two parts: the sub-cauldron and the mother-cauldron.
Can be used in combat.
It can also be used for daily practice.
The combat mode of Zimu Ding is very simple and crude.
Just like a chain trap, you just need to throw them out one by one.
Its weight is amazing.
Therefore, the amount of gas consumed is also an astronomical figure.
As for practice.
The functions of the mother-and-child tripod are much greater.
The mother cauldron is responsible for refining magic weapons.
The sub-cauldron is used to smelt elixirs.
It's obvious that this thing was left behind by some careless Qi Refiner.
When Panlong and Roger discovered it.
There is also a furnace of broken pills inside!
…
"Even if this mother-and-child tripod is not a magic weapon, it is still considered a throwing object according to the classification of weapons..."
"It will definitely be very useful in the future!"
Roger was in a good mood and put away the set of magic weapons.
The second item was also found in the hall where the Mother and Child Cauldron was discovered.
It was a book made of special metal!
…
"Golden Palace Book (the ultimate secret of the Qi Refiner/contains the ultimate advanced profession of the Qi Refiner)"
…
"Reading requirements: Tadpole language knowledge (400+)"
…
This is the first book Roger has encountered that requires "tadpole writing knowledge"!
As far as he knows.
Tadpole script is an endangered writing system on all nine planets.
It is extremely rare above binary stars.
This thing might be a language even older and more difficult than the language of the gods.
As for Dragon Language, Elven Language, Celestial Language, Infernal Language, etc...
It can't be compared to it in terms of rarity.
Roger tried to run his hands over the relief carving.
Unfortunately, the power of perception also lost its effect in front of Tadpole Wen.
final.
He could only keep it well.
I'm afraid I'll have the chance to read the text above only after I find a chance to learn tadpole writing in the future!
…
The last item was two gourds of elixirs found in the back room of the main hall.
Neither of these two kinds of pills have expired.
The effect is still there.
They are as follows:
…
"Elixir: Enlightenment (*24): Can make non-human races give birth to human wisdom;
If given to a monster, it can also give it a chance to suppress its own degree of deformation.
Monsters with low distortion levels have a certain chance of returning to normal! 」
…
"Elixir: Kaitian (*12): It can give humans or other humanoid races who do not have the qualifications of a Qi Refiner the opportunity to become a Qi Refiner;
If taken by non-extraordinary professionals.
It can increase life expectancy by at least 60 years.”
…
The effects of these two kinds of elixirs are very good.
Especially "Kai Tian"!
Its value is almost immeasurable!
It should be noted that in many professions.
The employment requirements for martial artists are already quite high.
But the requirements for Qigong practitioners are more stringent.
According to Roger's understanding.
The talent required for this profession is several times higher than that of a mage.
in this case.
An elixir that can turn decay into magic.
Its value is self-evident.
Roger was thinking about how he would be able to get mass-produced Qigong practitioners in the future.
I still have the opportunity to build a team of Qi Refiners!
As for "enlightenment".
This kind of elixir actually has a healing effect on monsters with low degrees of distortion.
This is already shocking.
Roger made up his mind.
These pills must be well preserved:
"It would be best if we could analyze the blending formula and refining methods of the elixir..."
"Given my current power situation, fish are naturally inferior to fishermen."
…
Overall.
There was not much material harvest from Panlong Island.
but.
It's in the main hall of the palace.
Roger discovered a mural with a mysterious meaning.
At Panlong's reminder.
Roger used his perception authority.
I noticed something strange.
These visions were not formed and preserved naturally.
Rather, it was left intentionally by the Qigong practitioners of that time for future generations!
From the vision of that scale grab.
Roger obtained another very important piece of information——
That is where the Qi Refiners go!
…
In the vision.
There was a voice slowly telling itself.
He mentioned that Quinan was on his way to the end.
The distorted matter is destroying the source of Qi.
In search of a habitat.
The Qi cultivators of Quinan decided to join forces.
Implement a plan to "ascend the world"!
And in this plan.
They will carry Quinan Star with them to a higher star orbit - not the fourth star orbit that is on par with Masonnari and Telodal, but the third star orbit where Yugatrashi is!
Without a doubt.
This is a crazy plan.
But the ancient ancestors at that time devoted unprecedented efforts to this plan.
According to that voice—
…
"The six major sects have exhausted all their efforts and spent billions of dollars. The plan for the world's ascension is almost complete..."
…
What a pity.
Plans cannot keep up with changes.
A sudden disaster forced the Qi Refiners to abandon their plans to ascend to heaven.
They urgently adopted a backup plan.
That is "raising the religion and ascending to heaven"!
At that time, the six Qigong/martial arts sects on Kuinan Star joined forces.
They opened the "gate of heaven" to higher star orbits.
Then he boarded 96 "Heaven and Earth Ships" to cross the starry sky.
Finally arrived at a planet in the fourth orbit:
Tarodar!
…
The vision came to an abrupt end here.
The destination of the ancient ancestors is self-evident.
But the value of this vision is not limited to this.
The owner of the voice mentioned the storage point of the "Global Ascension" plan!
That is an extremely distant coordinate.
Right in the depths of the ancient continent!
There.
It should hide all the efforts made by the Qigong practitioners to "ascend the world"!
Roger remembered the location of that coordinate deeply.
Then he let out a long sigh:
"Mystra's wizards built a golden house to fight against the forbidden spell of destruction, but failed."
"And the Qi cultivators of Kuinan wanted to ascend to heaven to fight against the invasion of distortion, but they also failed..."
"This universe is full of disasters!"
Roger didn't dwell on this emotion for long.
After confirming that there were no other items of "commemorative value" on Panlong Island.
He quietly returned to the boat.
Not long.
The magic ship started slowly again.
This time.
The ship's speed was pushed to the limit.
In the sea breeze.
Rushing to the ancient and mysterious Eastern continent in full swing!
…
6 hours later.
Roger was still standing on the side of the boat.
A faint white color appeared in his eyes.
Along with the continental line.
It is an atmosphere that is extremely oppressive!
on the data bar.
…
"Warning: You are approaching the 'God's Test Site'!"
…
"Warning: Magic, divine arts, firearms, qi... and other supernatural powers are prohibited here!"
…
"Hint: You found 'White Edge Port'!"
…
"Warning: Once you enter this testing ground, the only power you can rely on is your own body!"
…
"Are you going to set foot on the ancient continent?"
…
