Zhao Hai stood in front of Na Zhen's courtyard. Now, Na Zhen was living in an inner disciple's courtyard. However, for Zhao Hai, he didn't need to go through any formalities to visit Na Zhen. There weren't many people in the Iron Buddha Temple who didn't know about Zhao Hai. They all knew that he was appreciated by Na Yun and was favored by the Head of the Arhat Hall, Elder Wu Zui. Coupled with his strength, many people knew about Zhao Hai. Even if they hadn't seen him in person, they had heard about him. Because of this, when Zhao Hai arrived outside the courtyard and reported his name, the disciples immediately let him in.
Zhao Hai didn't think too much about it. After he arrived at the inner sect, he directly went to Na Zhen's courtyard. When he arrived outside, he first looked around the courtyard. He couldn't see anything from the outside, so he went forward and patted the courtyard's door.
A voice immediately came from the courtyard, "Who is it?"
"Senior Brother Na Zhen, it's me. I just came out of seclusion and came to see you." Zhao Hai said.
"Jing Hai!" With Na Zhen's exclamation, the door opened and Na Zhen stood in the courtyard. He looked at Zhao Hai with a surprised expression, "Junior Brother Jing Hai, it's really you."
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Yes, it's me. I just came out and wanted to see you. I heard that Senior Brother has become an inner disciple, so I came to congratulate you."
"Hahaha, come in." Na Zhen quickly let Zhao Hai into the courtyard.
This courtyard was similar to Na Yu's courtyard. They were both in the style of the Iron Buddha Temple. It was simple, so there was nothing to look at. The two went directly into the meditation room.
After sitting down in the meditation room, Na Zhen looked at Zhao Hai and nodded, "You're really amazing. You've already reached the twelfth order of Qi Refining. It seems that it won't take long for you to become an inner disciple."
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "I'm still far from it. This time, it's mainly because I've finished cultivating the third layer of the Iron Buddha Lotus Body. I need to temper myself, so I came out."
Na Zhen nodded and said, "The Iron Lotus Body can only rely on hard work. Progress is very slow, you still need to temper yourself. Do you have any ideas?"
Zhao Hai shook his head and said, "No, I just want to see if there are any suitable missions. If there are suitable missions, I'll do some missions and train for a period of time. Then I'll go into seclusion for a period of time and prepare to break through to the Spirit Realm."
Na Zhen nodded and said, "You should. As long as you enter the Spirit Realm, you can learn more Secret Arts. Your strength will also improve greatly. You can also fly. This is definitely a good thing for you. As for the missions you mentioned, there aren't any special missions in the Sect recently. If they are ordinary missions, they won't be of much use to you. You should take a break first, I'll keep an eye out for you. If there are any suitable missions, it won't be too late to tell you."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Alright, I should take a good rest. Cultivating the Iron Buddha Lotus Body is really hard. It's good to rest for a while."
Na Zhen nodded and said, "Are you going to see Senior Brother Na Yu? Your missions are all arranged by Senior Brother Na Yu. If you want to do any missions, you should go see Senior Brother Na Yu. "
Zhao Hai shook his head and said, "Not yet. I just came out of seclusion and heard that Senior Brother Na Yu had become an inner disciple, so I immediately came over. I want to see Senior Brother Na Yu later."
"Don't wait, let's go now." Then he stood up and led Zhao Hai outside. Zhao Hai didn't say anything and just followed Na Zhen outside. Before long, the two arrived at Na Yu's courtyard.
When they arrived at Na Yu's courtyard, Na Zhen knocked on the door. Na Yu's gentle voice was heard, "Who is it?"
"Senior Brother, it's me." Na Zhen said.
Then Na Yu's voice was heard, "Na Zhen, come in." Na Zhen nodded and then pushed the door open.
As soon as the two entered, they saw Na Yu standing in front of the door waiting for them. When Na Yu saw Zhao Hai, he couldn't help but stare. Then he smiled and said, "Jing Hai, you came out of seclusion. Good, it seems like the results of your seclusion are good. You've reached the twelfth level of Qi Refining. Good, very good."
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "When I came out of seclusion, I heard that Senior Brother Na Zhen had become an inner disciple. So I went to see him. Then he brought me here."
Na Yu smiled and said, "What's wrong? If he didn't pick you up, you wouldn't come? "
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "How could that be? I originally wanted to leave Senior Brother Na Zhen's place to visit you. But now that he brought me here, wouldn't it be his credit? Of course I'm not happy. "
"Hahaha." Na Yu and Na Zhen both laughed. The two had a good relationship with Zhao Hai. Therefore, it was normal for them to joke around like this.
Na Zhen smiled at Na Yu and said, "Actually, I came here to ask Senior Brother if there are any missions that are suitable for Jinghai. He has already reached the third level of the Iron Buddha Lotus Body, so he needs to temper himself a bit."
When Na Yu heard Na Zhen, he couldn't help but stare. Then he looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Jing Hai, you've already reached the third level of the Iron Buddha Lotus Body?"
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "It's because I reached the third level that I came out of seclusion. I'm going to do some missions to temper myself."
Nua Yu nodded, then he thought for a moment before replying, "Speaking of missions, there have been a lot of missions recently. There are two that are suitable for you. The first one is a small city under our rule. Recently, there seems to be another force infiltrating the city. The sect wants to send someone to investigate and repel them. However, I heard that this mission has already been accepted by someone, so it's not suitable for you to go. The second mission is a combat mission. When a disciple of my sect went out to travel, he found a crystal mine on a nameless island in the 72 Islands of the South Sea. Not many people know about it, but the island is also a deserted island, so he sent the news back and asked the sect to send two people to support him. But I don't know why, but the news seems to have leaked out. Because the island is very close to the Silversand Island, the Silversand Island might take action. The sect has decided to send a group of disciples to guard the island and speed up the mining process. But in the process, the people from the Silversand Island will certainly attack us, so the disciples sent there will be in danger."
Zhao Hai stared, then he frowned and said, "I know about the 72 islands in the South Sea. If we mine in their territory, then it would certainly cause a strong backlash. If this affects our relationship with Silver Sand Island, then wouldn't that be a problem?" Zhao Hai nodded, then he said, "I don't know.
Na Yu shook his head and said, "There won't be any problems. In fact, Senior Brother, you don't know, but us Buddhists and Daoists have long wanted to control the 72 islands in the South Sea. If we can control the islands, then we can use the islands as a base to explore the ocean. There are countless resources in the ocean. If we can gain the upper hand in the process of exploring the ocean, then it would be very useful for our development. Moreover, there's an unwritten rule in the Sword Spirit Realm that no matter whose territory you're in, as long as you find a resource, then it would belong to you. Naturally, the premise is that you can defend it. So what we need to do now is to defend the island." Na Yu shook his head and said, "Of course, there's an unwritten rule in the Sword Spirit Realm.
Therefore, we have to protect the island. "Zhao Hai nodded, then he said," But Silversand Island won't just send their outer disciples, right? What if they send their inner disciples? "
Na Yu replied, "This time, it's not just the outer disciples who will go to Silversand Island, but also the inner disciples. They will be led by five Elders. If you want to go, I'll let you join them and let you manage a squad of outer disciples. What do you think?"
Zhao Hai thought about it and then nodded, "Alright, I'll join. But Senior Brother, I just want to temper myself for a while. Then I'll come back and enter seclusion to break through to the Spirit Realm. If I stay there for too long, I'm afraid there will be some problems."
Nuo Yu waved his hand and said, "You don't need to worry about this. Just do it. The disciples who go this time will only stay there for three months. After three months, the sect will send people to bring you back."
Zhao Hai relaxed and said, "Then there's no problem. I'll join."
Na Yu smiled and said, "Martial Uncle Zewei will be very happy. The one leading the team this time is Martial Uncle Zewei. He knows what you did in the past and is very optimistic about you, praising you a lot in front of others. If he knows that you've come out of seclusion, he'll be very happy." Na Yu smiled and said, "That's right.
Zhao Hai chanted Buddha's name and said, "Amitabha. As long as I can complete the sect's mission, I'll be happy."
Na Yu let out a long breath and said, "I'm not afraid to tell you. In fact, our Buddhist Sects, Daoist Sects, and Sword Cultivator Sects were planning to join forces and carry out a big operation. However, the 72 Islands of the South Sea had colluded with the Demon Sects. In the end, we had to give up on this operation. If we really moved, the 72 Islands of the South Sea would have a big impact on us. Because of this, the Temple is very dissatisfied with the 72 Islands of the South Sea. This time, we wanted to teach them a lesson and make them behave."
When Zhao Hai heard this, his heart couldn't help but skip a beat. He now understood why the Sword Spirit Realm was still calm even after being here for a long time. It turns out that they had already given up on the operation. It was no wonder why this was the case.
Xia Yu told Zhao Hai that the situation in the Sword Spirit Boundary was somewhat unstable. However, ever since Zhao Hai entered the Sword Spirit Boundary, he didn't find anything dangerous. It seemed to be very normal. When he was in Tideview City, he felt that a storm was coming. However, after arriving at the Iron Buddha Temple, he didn't feel anything. This made Zhao Hai very surprised, he didn't understand what was going on.
Now he knew that the Iron Buddha Temple had already given up on the operation. No wonder the Sword Spirit Boundary was so quiet. However, the Iron Buddha Temple might not know about it, but the Demon Sect was making preparations. If they knew about it, then they wouldn't be so calm.
The Demon Sect was constantly making small sects in order to strengthen themselves without the Righteous Sects knowing about it. But now, it seems like the Righteous Sects weren't aware of the Demon Sect's plans. This meant that the Righteous Sects were at a disadvantage.
However, Zhao Hai couldn't say this right now. If he did, then Na Yu and Na Zhen would be suspicious. Even the Iron Buddha Temple didn't know about it, so how could he know about it? Because of this, Zhao Hai couldn't tell the Iron Buddha Temple that he knew about it. It was better for the Iron Buddha Temple to investigate this matter themselves.
Moreover, even if the Demon Sect and the Righteous Sects had a conflict, it was impossible for the Iron Buddha Temple to be at the forefront. This was because the Iron Buddha Temple couldn't be considered a top sect among the Righteous Sects. However, they had a deep foundation, so they weren't afraid of the Righteous Sects.
But this time, Zhao Hai had some new ideas about going to the South Sea. He looked at Na Yu and said, "Senior Brother, if you want to know about the situation in the South Sea, then I have a method. I don't know if I should say it."
Na Yu quickly said, "What idea do you have? Let's hear it."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "I know someone from the Southern Sea's 72 Islands, but he can't be considered a real person from the 72 Islands. This is because he ascended from the lower realms. When he ascended, he was targeted by a few Rogue Cultivators. I saved him and he taught me a technique that can be used in the woods. Our relationship has always been good. Later on, because he ascended from the lower realms, he also went to the South Sea and became a person under Spirit Crab Island's rule. I heard that he is now a manager of that stronghold. Those strongholds are actually people from the lower realms. They gather people who ascended from the lower realms and provide them with protection. Those people who ascended help the 72 Islands grow crops or raise some things. They are similar to our Sect's janitor disciples, but their status isn't as high as janitor disciples. Our janitor disciples have benefits, but they don't. Their lives are very hard. My friend is only a small manager there, but since he's in the South Sea, he can provide us with some information about the South Sea. What do you think, Senior Brother?" Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Actually, I don't know anyone from the 72 Islands. Our status isn't even as high as janitor disciples. Our janitor disciples have benefits, but they don't. They can only work in order to get some crystal stones from Spirit Crab Island.
Nua Yu thought for a moment, then she shook her head and said, "We don't need information. However, you must maintain a good relationship with your friend. You can even give him some help. Having a stronghold like that is definitely a good thing for us. If we really face the 72 islands in the South Sea in the future, with that stronghold, we can occupy it first and then develop it into our base. This will be very beneficial for our future operations. Therefore, you must maintain a good relationship with your friend. This is just a casual move, but it might be of great use in the future."
This might be a good thing for us. "Zhao Hai nodded. His heart was filled with joy. His goal has been achieved. Later on, he can openly contact the Tide-watching Gang.
