Xu Chunniang was certain in her heart and told her what she had seen and heard about coming to Blackfish Island.
"When I came to Blackfish Island, I took a fishing boat. There was no formation protection on the fishing boat. Most of the people on the boat were ordinary people. Occasionally there were two or three monks, who were only on the first or second level of Qi training."
The head of the Lin family nodded slightly, "Although they are mortals, they are the islanders of Blackfish Island, and they are also the foundation of our monks."
Xu Chunniang nodded in agreement, and the monk embarked on the path of cultivation, but in essence, he was a mortal.
It's just that many monks have acquired magical powers and have forgotten that they were once ordinary people who ate all kinds of grains, and they have a sense of superiority.
"I agree with what the Lin family leader said. But I see that fishermen have to pay taxes on half of their hard-earned income. I was on a small island in Xuanzhou before, and I had never heard of the concept of taxes."
The head of the Lin family smiled bitterly when he heard this. Heiyu Island's heavy taxes were actually not what he wanted to see.
"My fellow Taoist friends only know one thing but not the other. In order to prevent and resist attacks by sea monsters, our Blackfish Island needs to spend a large amount of spirit stones to invest in formations and barriers every year. This leads to the fact that the spirit stones on our island are often unable to make ends meet. , the treasury is in deficit.
Asking mortals to pay taxes is actually a helpless move. Moreover, the taxes on the island are not only paid by mortals, monks also have to pay taxes or serve, and even more so than mortals. "
The head of the Lin family spoke slowly, explaining how difficult it was on the island.
Blackfish Island is remote, poor, and requires payment of taxes and service. Many high-level foundation-building monks are very dissatisfied with this and feel that their cultivation is being dragged down.
They were unwilling to stay on Heiyu Island and wanted to leave after they had accumulated enough spiritual stones.
Their departure further aggravated the island's predicament. As a result, most of the monks and mortals on the island became poorer and poorer, and taxes became heavier, leading to the current situation.
Xu Chunniang immediately understood that the combination of river ice and ice was not the result of a day's cold; the accumulation of soil into mountains was not the work of a single person.
But in the final analysis, the reason is that the aura of Blackfish Island is too poor and there are no spiritual objects around.
The potential crisis of the sea monster tide overwhelmed the people on the island.
After Xu Chunniang was silent for a moment, she slowly spoke.
"There are many monsters in the sea. Is it possible to go out to sea to kill monsters to obtain resources? On the one hand, it can alleviate the pressure of scarcity of resources, and on the other hand, it can eliminate the monsters and reduce the harm of future monster tides.
I heard that there is a man named Li Yuan in the mansion who is a monk at the sixth level of Qi training but has never gone to sea. With his cultivation level, he may be able to cope with the sea monsters in the middle stage of Qi training. "
The head of the Lin family sighed inwardly. He had organized the method of going out to sea to kill monsters mentioned by the other party many times over the years.
"There are monsters and beasts in the sea, and there are people of all kinds of cultivation. If you go out to sea to kill monsters, that's all if you are lucky. If you are not lucky, the whole army may be wiped out.
As for the junior named Li Yuan you mentioned, I have an impression of him. Since he went to sea three years ago and was almost eaten by a foundation-building sea snake, he has had a shadow of going to sea. "
Xu Chunniang was speechless, not knowing that Li Yuan had experienced this before.
She recalled the incident of the goshawk killing the cat she had just witnessed, and she understood clearly in her heart.
Many times, what the eyes see is reality, but these realities all have causes and effects.
Seeing is believing when a goshawk kills a cat, but if the white cat hadn't tortured and killed its young eagle first, how could the goshawk kill the cat for no reason?
What she saw at Uncle Li's house was Li Yuan, a monk at the sixth level of qi training, who took what he earned from Uncle Li's hard work as a matter of course.
But if it weren't for Uncle Li's indulgence, and if Li Yuan went out to sea to kill monsters and almost fell into the Shekou, which made him fearful, things would not have evolved to this point.
Just like Heiyu Island has been poor for many years, if it is unable to make changes, it will only become poorer in the long run.
Xu Chunniang said sternly, "Heiyu Island is peaceful at the moment, but if you don't have long-term worries, you will have immediate worries. For the long-term plan, the Lin family leader needs to make changes as soon as possible."
"How can I not know what fellow Taoist said? It's just that I have a lot of ambition but not enough strength. Although I have the golden elixir cultivation, it is too difficult for me to change it on my own."
The head of the Lin family sighed, he had been working very hard on the development of the island these years.
But facing the current situation, there really is no good way.
"The spiritual energy around Blackfish Island is too poor. If you want to gather spiritual energy and turn it into energy, it will not happen overnight. Unless you can move a spiritual vein or rely on many high-level spiritual gathering arrays, the situation can be improved."
Xu Chunniang's heart moved slightly. She couldn't do anything about the spiritual pulse, but she could try the advanced spirit gathering array.
Although learning and arranging the formation may take a little time.
But learning the advanced spirit gathering formation is also of endless benefit to her.
"To be honest, I am actually a third-level formation mage, but I don't have the method of setting up the third-level spirit gathering array at hand. If the Lin family leader is willing to provide specific formation methods and some materials, I might try it. .”
Before she finished speaking, a look of surprise burst out from the slightly dim eyes of the Lin family leader.
"Do you really mean what you said, fellow Daoist Xu? Are you really a third-level formation master?"
After asking him, he felt it was inappropriate and quickly added.
"Of course, it's not that I don't believe you, it's just that Fellow Daoist Xu doesn't look very old. It's very rare to become a real Jindan. I don't expect you to have such achievements in the formation journey."
There are many golden elixir monks on Blackfish Island who can be counted in one hand, and there is not a single third-level formation mage among them.
The three-level formations on the island have existed for many years, and some problems have arisen.
If she really has attainments in this formation and is willing to take action, that would be a great blessing for Blackfish Island!
Xu Chunniang nodded slightly, not minding the doubts.
"It's not a trivial matter to set up an array. It's normal for the Lin family master not to be gullible, but I am indeed an array master and I broke through the third level not long ago."
She made a casual move, and a small formation disk and eight formation flags appeared in her palm.
Xu Chunniang held the formation disk, controlled the eight formation flags, and shot towards the eight gates of the formation.
The moment all the formation flags returned to their positions, the Lin family leader sensed that there was an invisible protective shield in the hall, covering the entire hall.
"This is...the third level Five Elements Defense Formation!"
The head of the Lin family's eyes shone brightly, and there was a hint of excitement on his face.
"Fellow Daoist Xu is not deceiving me. He is indeed a high-level formation master! Please wait here for a moment, fellow daoist, and let me go to the treasury to fetch the formation bone book and some materials!"
After saying that, he took out the sea order and issued the order, and then waited.
While the two were discussing in the hall, Lin Qi, who was waiting in the side hall, became a little impatient.
He had eaten up all the pastries and spiritual tea on the small table. There was really nothing to do, so he had to find a topic.
"Sister, who is that... female senior? Is she someone Grandpa knew before?"
"I don't know. But probably not."
Miss Lin Si held a book in her left hand and was reading it carefully. She didn't move her eyes at all when she heard the words.
