According to Fang Yuan's investigative methods, this island had almost no secrets to him.
He found that this island that the Merit Obelisk teleported to was very ordinary and ordinary. The island did not have many resources, there was a fishing village with some people living there.
With a fishing village, there was naturally a spirit spring. There were Gu Masters of course, but with such a poor environment and population, it would be a miracle if there was a rank four Gu Master.
Fang Yuan accepted the mission to collect black oil from Earth Trench at the bottom of the sea, as expected, in his investigation, he soon found traces of black oil seeping out from the edges of the island.
If it were other Gu Immortals, they might have already gone into the sea to collect Earth Trench black oil. But Fang Yuan did not intend to do that. The moment he saw the Merit Obelisk, he started to deduce Paradise Earth Immortal Venerable's intentions.
He stealthily entered the fishing village. This fishing village did not have many people, there were only five or six Gu Masters, the highest cultivation level was a rank three Gu Master, it could not compare to Qing Mao Mountain's Guyue village. In the past, around the Gu Yue village, there were close to ten such villages attached to it.
Fang Yuan went to find the only rank three Gu Master in the village.
This was an old man with white hair and a face full of wrinkles, his identity as the village head was exposed from other people's words.
Fang Yuan was very satisfied.
He had a high status and was old, he definitely knew a lot of things.
Soul search!
Fang Yuan used his immortal methods, the old village head's secrets were all exposed.
In an instant, Fang Yuan obtained a large amount of detailed information. Like he expected, this village was very ordinary. And there were many other villages and islands like this in the surroundings.
"This fishing village does not seem to have anything fishy about it." Fang Yuan understood, he left the village quietly.
The old village head only felt dazed for a moment, after a moment of surprise, he went back to doing his own things.
Fang Yuan's soul search method was far superior to mortal Gu Masters.
Fang Yuan secretly left this island and flew to the surrounding islands.
However, the scene on the island on the Merit Stele replayed itself on Fang Yuan.
Even though he could already see the tip of a small island on the surface of the sea, no matter how he flew, the distance between the two of them could not be shortened.
After trying everything, Fang Yuan's efforts were in vain.
"Paradise Earth Immortal Venerable cultivated sound path in his early years, later on, he focused on earth path, this method that is so close yet worlds apart is his specialty."
In human history, there were many battles where Paradise Earth Immortal Venerable stood on the spot and allowed his enemies to attack him. But the enemy's punches, kicks, and killing moves could not reach him, even if the distance seemed short.
"Other than that, Paradise Earth Immortal Venerable has another method that people yearn for, that is to create a paradise."
Paradise …
This was also the origin of Paradise Earth Immortal Venerable's title. Nobody knew how to create paradise lands, but Paradise Earth Immortal Venerable had left behind a large number of paradise lands for the five regions and two heavens.
Paradise had one of the most obvious characteristics, and that was that there were no disasters or tribulations!
"This dragon whale grotto-heaven has clearly been enlightened by Paradise Earth Immortal Venerable, it has become a paradise."
From the old village head's soul, Fang Yuan had obtained information that proved this to a large extent. If there were any disasters or tribulations, even if the old village head could not sense them, the village's historical records should have recorded them. But there was no such information.
Since Fang Yuan could not enter the other small islands, he changed his direction and dove into the water.
As he dove deeper, the pressure of the water became greater.
This water pressure was a problem that all oil collecting Gu Masters had to face, but for the rank eight Gu Immortal Fang Yuan, it was negligible.
To Gu Masters, the water might be deep, but to Gu Immortals, it was shallow because they were close to the small islands.
Fang Yuan soon discovered that a large area of dark twilight fog appeared in his vision. It was like a giant kelp, extending from east to west.
This Earth Trench at the bottom of the sea was very majestic, the ordinary island was almost at the edge of the Earth Trench. According to the information obtained from the old village chief, there were also trenches extending near the surrounding islands.
Earth Trenches produced black oil.
Be they ordinary Earth Trenches or underwater Earth Trenches.
Black oil was a type of immortal material that belonged to food path. It was of high grade and had a high production rate, it was easy to extract.
This was a characteristic of food path, it had high production rate, was cheap, and was close to the people.
Black oil was extremely helpful to immortal zombies. If black oil was sprinkled on the dead aperture, it could slow down the destruction of the blessed land. In the outside world, it was an extremely useful Gu refinement material for other Gu Immortals, it had a huge market.
One of Zombie Alliance's main businesses was black oil. This status was similar to the guts Gu business to Fang Yuan. But the scale of the black oil trade was much larger than the guts Gu trade.
"There is about three million kilograms of black oil here, if I use my full strength, I can plunder it all in half a day. But I cannot go too far away from this island. Even though the black oil can flow, it is much slower than water. After I plunder this place, I will wait for the black oil from the other parts of the Earth Trenches to flow here before I extract the black oil, the efficiency is too low. "
Black oil was very easy to harvest, of course, that was only for Gu Immortals.
For mortal Gu Masters, it was quite difficult.
There was a special category, oil gathering Gu Masters. They specialized in entering Earth Trenches to collect black oil. These people's livelihood skills were usually passed down in their families. Oil gathering Gu Masters had their own set of Gu worms that worked together to collect a small amount of black oil.
Even though they did not have high battle strength, because they collected immortal materials, they were rich and had high status, they were very popular.
In the five hundred years of Fang Yuan's previous life, he had been an oil gathering Gu Master in Eastern Sea for a period of time. That was a fortuitous encounter, he almost became the son-in-law of an old oil gathering Gu Master. The methods of oil gathering were also selectively taught to Fang Yuan by this old Gu Master.
The Gu Masters on the small island mainly relied on collecting black oil to cultivate and survive. The old village head that Fang Yuan soul searched was the strongest oil gathering Gu Master in the village. Even though he was old, he would still go into the water every year to collect.
Seeing the black oil here, Fang Yuan's previous life's memories involuntarily surfaced in his mind.
In the past, he had been an oil gathering Gu Master, going deep into the sea to collect black oil, it was like treading on thin ice, he was extremely cautious. First, he had to solve the problem of suction. Secondly, he could not go too deep into the sea, the pressure of the sea would cause him to explode. But the sea was not calm, there were large numbers of fierce beasts. Finally, collecting black oil also required unique methods.
How could mortals not have unique methods to collect immortal materials?
Especially if the black oil was not collected properly, it would contaminate the Gu Master's body, causing the Gu Master to be covered in black oil stains that would not fade away. After a long time, there would be a foul stench, it would even corrode the Gu Master's body.
In the five hundred years of his previous life, Fang Yuan had been contaminated by the black oil. The old Gu Master who taught him the method had purposely withheld it, his intention was to force him to become his son-in-law.
Back then, he was furious, he felt he had been schemed against, but now that Fang Yuan thought about it, he smiled bitterly.
The old Gu Master had no children, he had no successor, he could only use this method, he had no choice but to teach this method to an outsider Gu Master like Fang Yuan. He had no choice, what was wrong with hiding the method and keeping it a secret? It was human nature!
Back then, Fang Yuan felt like he was in a desperate situation, he had no way out.
Without special methods, he could not get rid of the black oil's contamination. Even if Fang Yuan knew this method, he would need a series of Gu worms. These two formed a huge chasm, forcing him to lower his head.
Thinking of this, Fang Yuan had a trace of his previous state of mind.
Back then, he was extremely anxious and pained, but he also yearned for the profits of the black oil, he swore in his heart that if he had the ability, he would change the situation! For example, some water path Gu worms could allow him to swim freely and be extremely agile. Or he could design some Gu worms that could resist the pressure of the sea.
Right now, he had enough ability, he had a lot of Immortal Gu, he could easily refine large numbers of excellent mortal Gu.
But right now, he did not need these Gu worms.
Life was full of helplessness. Facing the present, some things that you desperately needed were not available. But when you had them, you no longer needed them.
Thus, giving you a pillow when you are sleepy was also a kind of fortuitous encounter, you had to cherish it.
"Back then, when I was collecting the black oil, I almost died."
"But fortune and misfortune go hand in hand, I actually met Mo Er at the brink of death … from this perspective, the old Gu Master had done a good deed."
Fang Yuan's lips curled into a deep and complex smile.
Once again, a beautiful white figure rose from the bottom of his heart.
Her appearance was blurry, but also clear.
Her surname was Xie, name Han Mo.
Xie Han Mo.
Fang Yuan had never forgotten this name, because this was the love of his life in his previous life. (To be continued …)
