"You're saying the great shark was killed?"
The two island lords, Longmu and Shizhu, were dumbfounded once again.
In fact.
Many years ago, when they severely damaged the Great Shark, they wanted to kill it because it was for the sake of the fishermen on Xia Ke Island.
Unfortunately, that great shark was very clever in the sea and managed to escape by taking advantage of the terrain.
To save face, the two island lords, Long and Mu, claimed to the public that they had only shown mercy. Of course, only the two terrestrial immortals themselves knew the truth of the matter.
"Ahem, a mere sea shark is nothing to worry about. Could the two island lords take me to see the Tai Xuan Scripture?"
Suddenly, 060.
The voice of Xie Yanke, the hermit of the skyscraper, suddenly rang out.
This left the two island lords, Long and Mu, completely dumbfounded.
what's the situation?
This Xie Yanke actually knew about the existence of the Tai Xuan Jing?
Isn't this his first time visiting Xia Ke Island?
The Dragon Island Master and the Wood Island Master looked at each other, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes.
"May I ask, fellow Daoist, how do you know that the Tai Xuan Jing exists on Xia Ke Island?"
"The Tai Xuan Scripture is a peerless martial art that we discovered a hundred years ago. Moreover, almost everyone who has set foot on the island over the years has never left. How do you know about it?"
The two island lords, Long and Mu, raised their voices in confusion.
Chapter 396 Laba Congee Ingredient List: Hundreds of Highly Poisonous Substances
Xia Ke Island.
The Dragonwood Island Master looked on with suspicion, then glanced at the two guides and the Water Spirit, who both shook their heads.
Because Xia Ke Island has its own prohibitions, namely that the people of Xia Ke Island must not reveal anything about the island to the outside world, not even on the ship.
Logically speaking, Xie Yanke, the hermit of the Sky Tower, should not have known about the existence of the Tai Xuan Jing.
"Hahaha, it's just the Tai Xuan Scripture, of course I know it."
Motian Jushi Xie Yanke laughed loudly, then made up an excuse and added, "I once discovered a cave on Motian Cliff, where a peerless expert was buried. Before he died, he inscribed the Tai Xuan Scripture on the wall, which I happened to see."
Anyway, no one was going to verify it at that point, so they just tried to get away with it for now.
however.
To Xie Yanke's surprise, the two island lords, Long and Mu, actually believed it and stared at him with an "I see" look.
A full ten breaths have passed.
The Dragon Island Master said with relief, "I see. It seems that there are many records of the Tai Xuan Scripture in the Central Plains, but they have been lost over the years."
Island Master Mu said, "Indeed, among all the martial arts in the world today, only the Tai Xuan Scripture on our Hero Island is the most complete, it's just a pity..."
"What's a pity?"
"I am a hermit named Xie Yanke," Xie Yanke asked casually.
"Unfortunately, the Tai Xuan Scripture is truly profound and mysterious. We have explored and cultivated it for so many years, and we have only comprehended about two levels."
The island lord said helplessly.
"Haha, after hearing what the two island lords said, I'm even more curious. Can you take me to see it now?"
Motian Jushi Xie Yanke Lu revealed an eager look, clearly indicating that he was very interested.
The Dragonwood Island Master did not rush to refuse. The two of them had brought people from various factions of the Central Plains martial arts world here in order to decipher the secrets of the Tai Xuan Scripture.
Now that someone whose cultivation has reached the half-step terrestrial immortal level has requested to watch, there is naturally no reason to refuse. Besides, according to the task instructions I gave to Zhang San and Li Si, only kind-hearted and righteous martial arts practitioners are qualified to receive the reward and punishment order.
The fact that Xie Yanke, the hermit of the Sky, was able to set foot on the island proves that he was qualified.
Next.
The two island lords, Long and Mu, issued a new task to the guides, instructing them to select a new giant ship and travel to the Central Plains docks to pick up the others.
The guide and sailors immediately carried out the instructions.
night.
Following behind the Dragonwood Island Master, the Sky Hermit Xie Yanke arrived at a workshop on Xia Ke Island, where people were working overtime to cook Laba porridge.
This has been a long-standing rule on Xia Ke Island: anyone who visits the island (as the king) must drink Laba porridge. Of course, this Laba porridge is not simple; it is made from dozens or even hundreds of highly poisonous substances, such as the poisonous plant *Gnaphalium affine*.
Its ingredient list alone is enough to terrify many martial arts practitioners in the Central Plains.
The two island lords, Long and Mu, secretly observed the performance of the Sky Hermit Xie Yanke. To their surprise, the latter showed no emotion whatsoever, as if he didn't care about the ingredients list of the Laba porridge.

Chapter 397 Drinking Laba Congee from Xia Ke Island and Cultivating the Tai Xuan Scripture
"Fellow Daoist truly deserves to be called a genius that is one in a hundred years in the Central Plains martial arts world. You remained so calm after seeing the ingredient list of Laba porridge. We admire you!"
"That's right. Do you know that when people from all walks of life in the Central Plains first came to Xia Ke, they were all trembling with fear when they saw highly poisonous things like the Heartbreak Grass?"
The two island masters, Longmu and his companion, spoke in turn, using their internal energy to add fuel to the Laba porridge and speed up the cooking process.
"You two are overthinking it. These highly poisonous substances are nothing to me. With my strength as a half-step terrestrial immortal, I can easily withstand them."
Motian Jushi Xie Yanke showed no modesty and spoke his most honest thoughts.
Although the ingredient list of Laba porridge surprised him, it was just that—surprise.
Finish this sentence.
Motian Jushi Xie Yanke looked around at the workers who were busy cooking Laba porridge.
It's worth mentioning that the lowest cultivation level among these Laba porridge workers is the mid-stage Grandmaster. Any one of them could be considered a master if they went to the Central Plains.
"The hidden strength of Xia Ke Island is truly terrifying!"
Motian Jushi Xie Yanke exclaimed inwardly. He knew very well that if neither he nor the two island lords, Longmu and Kedao, intervened, with the current strength of Xia060 Kedao Island, it would be easy to rule over the various sects of the Central Plains martial arts world.
Furthermore, the power of these chivalrous figures could even lead to a change of dynasties in the world.
of course.
Judging from the actions of the two island lords, Longmu and Shi, they did not want to harm the innocent. They were both people with a strong sense of righteousness and could not do anything that would change the dynasty.
The only thing that puzzled Xie Yanke was the Laba porridge being cooked on Xia Ke Island.
Could it be that……
Is this a quirk of the two island lords, Long and Mu?
Did they want to disgust the people who came to the island by making them drink Laba porridge?
Looking at the two buckets of steaming Laba porridge in front of him, the hermit Xie Yanke's doubts grew, and his eyes revealed disbelief.
at this time.
The Dragon Island Master had withdrawn his inner energy, and the bucket of Laba porridge had calmed down.
With a wave of his hand, the island master of Mu Island condensed extremely cold energy, causing the cooked Laba porridge to begin to cool down.
"Fellow Daoist, are you curious as to why we use various poisons to brew Laba porridge?"
The Dragon Island Master revealed a peaceful expression, giving off an air of trustworthiness.
Please clarify.
Motian Jushi Xie Yanke cupped his hands in greeting.
Island Master Long simply smiled and shook his head, then looked at Island Master Mu.
Island Master Mu stopped channeling his extreme cold internal energy and patiently explained, "Alright, let's stop being mysterious. Anyway, his strength is not afraid of the poison of Laba porridge."
After saying this, the island master's gaze returned to the hermit Xie Yanke, and he added, "Actually, Laba porridge is a highly nourishing food."
"A highly nourishing food?"
What a joke!
Do you really think I'm blind?
Who are these two island owners? They're lying through their teeth, it's ridiculous!
Mo Tian Jushi Xie Yanke was speechless. If he hadn't been wary of their strength, he would have definitely slapped them.
Laba porridge, made by boiling hundreds of poisons, is called a highly nourishing food.
Go ahead and cheat!
The two island lords, Longmu and Shi, noticed the difference in Xie Yanke's behavior. Instead of blaming him, they continued to explain.
"Indeed, this Laba porridge is a very nourishing food."
The island lord, with his hands behind his back, took two steps forward, looked at the night sky, and sighed, "Don't be fooled by the fact that Laba porridge is made from hundreds of poisonous ingredients. The core of the poison has been neutralized, so it won't harm the human body. It will be perfectly absorbed. Moreover..."
At this point, Island Master Mu turned to look at the Sky Hermit Xie Yanke and said with a serious expression, "Moreover, this is the recipe left behind with the Tai Xuan Scripture. We have tried it many times. As long as you drink this so-called Laba porridge, it will be of great benefit to cultivating the Tai Xuan Scripture."
"Is there such a good thing?"
