The next day, the entire residents of Jinghong Island discovered that the son of the original island owner, Yang Zhen, who was usually over-the-top and extremely arrogant, had actually joined the team to maintain order.
Not only him, but also eight or nine other disciples and grandsons of the original island owner were all taken under Xu Wen's command.
With the addition of these local snakes, the situation quickly stabilized.
A few days later, Xu Wen repaired the formation in the island owner's mansion. In the following period, Xu Wen led everyone to repair the protective formation with all their strength.
That night, when Xu Wen asked coldly whether they wanted to die or live, even the arrogant Yang Zhen no longer had that arrogance.
After all the hardships, the only option is death. The ants can still survive, let alone cultivators like them.
Therefore, Xu Wen placed restrictions on them and took them for his own use.
He also promised them that after fifty years of Qi Refining monks and a hundred years of Foundation-building monks, they would be free. At that time, it would be up to them to choose whether to stay or go.
Even during the service period, Xu Wen will award corresponding rewards based on merit and will not exploit them without limit.
In fact, after they failed to steal the ship, they had no choice. If they didn't want to die, they had no choice but to join Xu Wen.
Of course, Xu Wen has his own account in his mind and will weigh it based on their later performance. Moreover, he will fully support Zhang Feng and the others to fight against Yang Zhen and the others.
The protective formation was forcibly broken through by King Nilu, and the damage was quite serious. It took more than three months to repair it completely.
When the light of the formation lit up again, the hearts of all the residents of Jinghong Island dropped into their stomachs.
In this age where Taoism manifests itself, without the protection of formations, it is really insecure.
In the process, Xu Wen also initially conquered the monks on the island.
Not only is he strong enough to defeat the real Yuanying, but he can also refine weapons and arrange formations. He is also extremely generous. Where can I find such an island owner?
As a result, the image of the original island owner quickly faded and was increasingly replaced by Xu Wen's image.
After the formation was repaired, Xu Wen took out a lot of spiritual stones and low-level elixirs, allowing all the practitioners to relax for three days.
As for himself, he quietly left the basin and headed to the northwest of Jinghong Island.
Jinghong Island is dominated by humans and occupies the richest central basin and spirit stone veins, but there are also several groups of monsters entrenched here.
There is a port on the southeast side of the island, which is the main anchorage for ships traveling to and from Baiyujing.
The demon clan had an instinctive respect and fear for Bai Yujing, so they took the initiative to avoid that area and mainly stayed in several other directions.
There used to be a group of ape demons in the northeast, they were the most powerful and they were the focus of the two island owners.
The group of ape monsters were either subdued and integrated into humans, such as Yuan Lu, or they were expelled and joined other races, such as lemurs, which have become out of date.
The northwest is mainly the territory of some other demon tribes, and the southwest has a special terrain with many reef foreshores, where the sea tribe lives.
Before, the two original island owners of Jinghong Island did not pay much attention to these demon clans. They were too weak and their background was too shallow.
Except for the hard and fast rule that they are not allowed to have golden elixir monsters, they pay little attention to other things. They are like domestic animals that they can catch a few when needed.
The clouded leopard was brought by King Nilu from other places, and the eel spirit achieved the golden elixir before the original island owner, and mainly moved underwater, so these are exceptions.
But in this attack on the central basin, both groups of monsters participated in large numbers. Without giving them an absolutely profound lesson, the majesty of the island master cannot be established.
When Xu Wen rushed to a mountain peak in the northeast corner, a bloody battle had just come to an end.
There is one of the few second-level spiritual veins on this island on this mountain peak called Laohe Mountain, which is the same level as the spiritual veins in the central basin.
The foundation-building demon clan that originally occupied the spiritual vein died during the attack on the central basin. This spiritual vein became ownerless, triggering a brutal fight between all parties.
Civil war is always the most cruel. In the past few months, the number of monsters who died for this spiritual vein was at least ten times that of the death monsters attacking the Central Basin.
And, this is just the beginning.
This time it was the deer clan who won.
There are no tigers in the mountains, and monkeys are kings. After all the original strong men died in battle, the relatively weak ones actually briefly gained ownership of this spiritual vein in such a very unexpected way.
A mid-stage foundation-building deer demon with the body of a deer and the head of a deer, accompanied by an early-stage foundation-building and a dozen Qi-refining stage juniors, were lying on the spiritual veins with wounds all over their bodies.
While licking each other's wounds, they seize the time to absorb spiritual energy, restore mana, and prepare for the next fierce battle.
Strong pressure fell from the sky, Xu Wen stepped on the blue clouds and landed directly in front of the deer demon.
With a wave of his hand, two Beiming divine thunders fell from the sky. The deer demon in the early stage of foundation building was directly smashed into its dantian and fell to the ground and fainted.
However, the deer demon in the middle stage of foundation building shone with light on its soles and hid.
Xu Wen was a little surprised, his eyes narrowed, and his spiritual will suddenly rose up, and he fiercely covered the group of monsters.
All the deer demons in the Qi Refining Stage groaned and fell to the ground fainting. The deer monsters in the Foundation Establishment Stage also staggered and finally fell to their knees.
Seeing Xu Wen, who was slowly and unhurriedly stepping forward and seeing all the deer demons disappearing wherever he went, he shouted in horror:
"The Universe in Your Sleeves, are you Bai Yujing's immortal master?"
He glanced at the other party with some surprise. This little demon actually knew the great magical power of Qiankun within his sleeves. He had some vision.
The Universe in the Sleeve is one of Bai Yujing's forty-nine great supernatural powers. It is said that when you practice it to the extreme, you can hold mountains and seas, and hold the sun and moon in your sleeves. Naturally, Xu Wen can't do that.
He just imprisoned all these fainting deer demons into the Mysterious Cave, but they did look somewhat similar to the Qiankun in the Sleeves.
Seeing Xu Wen approaching slowly, thinking that he was Bai Yujing's messenger, the deer demon no longer had the courage to resist, so he closed his eyes and waited for death.
Naturally, Xu Wen would not kill him, he would directly destroy his magic power, and then stun him and put him into the Mysterious Cave.
Over the years, under Xu Wen's training at all costs, Lu Xiaoyao has advanced to the middle stage of foundation building.
With him here, suppressing these foreign deer monsters is no longer a problem. They can only obediently assume the role of breeding and improving the bloodline of the sika deer.
They have no chance to seek immortality in the first place. Being a groom in the Mysterious Cave every day and entering the bridal chamber every night may not be so bad.
After gathering all the deer, Xu Wen didn't leave, so he just found a place on the spiritual vein, concealed his aura and waited.
In less than a day, a group of bear demons came and prepared to occupy this spiritual vein.
Xu Wen immediately took action, beheaded the foundation-building leader, and then continued to wait.
In such a month, he killed more than a dozen foundation-building monsters in succession, basically killing all the foundation-building monsters in this area.
Slowly, the news that a killing god came to this spiritual vein slowly spread, and no demon clan dared to try this spiritual vein anymore.
Later, Yang Zhen, Hong Rui, Yuan Lu and others were recruited here by Xu Wen, and began to build houses and magic circles on this spiritual vein, preparing to garrison for a long time.
Because there were no spiritual veins, the two original island owners only used Jinghong Island as a temporary base for mining spiritual stones. They had no idea of long-term development and did not care at all about these low-level spiritual veins.
But Xu Wen planned to operate this place as a base camp, so naturally he would not allow the second-order spiritual veins to remain under his control.
After initially settling in here, Xu Wen raised his escaping light and flew to another mountain peak in the northeast corner.
The closer you get to the outskirts of Jing Hong Island, the lower the peaks are, but there are exceptions.
There is an extremely high peak in the northeast corner, nearly 10,000 feet high. It is one of the three peaks on Jinghong Island along with the other two peaks in the center of the island.
There is a first-level high-grade spiritual vein there. Because it is occupied by a group of cranes, the cranes are constantly chirping, so it is also called Jiugao Mountain.
He did not pretend to be evading light and deliberately slowed down his speed. The other party quickly noticed Xu Wen's arrival.
Suddenly there was a loud chirping of cranes, and white shadows were dancing gracefully. Soon, more than twenty red-crowned cranes circled out, forming a faint formation.
An old man with a pale face stepped out from the crowd, saluted Xu Wenshen, held up a box with some red flowers in both hands, and whispered:
"The envoy came to visit the small clan, but I missed the welcome from afar. Please forgive me for my sin. Please don't find it despicable for me to be a small gift!"
With a flash of light in his eyes, Xu Wen recognized the red flower. It was a kind of elixir called Yunmei Red Flower, which can only live on peaks above five thousand meters above sea level.
It can strengthen the foundation, strengthen the essence, and can be used to refine many elixirs.
Before coming here, Xu Wen knew about the situation of the demon clan here from Yang Zhen. The red-crowned crane was one of the few bird demon clans on Jinghong Island.
They are not powerful. They only have one foundation-building elder who occupies the peak of Jiugao Mountain that no other demon clan wants.
The Crane Clan was generally relatively peaceful and uncontested, and did not participate in the attack on the Central Basin, so Xu Wen was willing to give them a chance.
Pointing at the old man, Xu Wen said coldly:
"Under the whole world, is it the king's land; on the shore of the land, is it the king's people. I want to stay on Jinghong Island permanently. Are you... willing to be used by me?"
He Jiu was filled with bitterness and wanted to refuse, but he didn't dare to speak.
The previous two island owners had no intention of staying here and were too lazy to pay attention to little monsters like them, but the potential Bai Yujing envoy in front of them was not that easy to talk to.
Just because they attacked the central basin in retaliation, in just one month, they almost killed all the foundation-building demon cultivators nearby.
Those few unruly people, such as the deer clan and the wild boar clan, were basically wiped out by the clan.
The red-crowned crane clan is not powerful, so if they can resist the other party, if they refuse with their front foot, they will be killed by their rear foot.
But he was still unwilling to be enslaved like this, so he immediately mustered up the courage and whispered:
"It's an honor for us that the envoy is willing to accept this small clan, but I don't know... but I don't know what the salary is?"
It is only natural that soldiers should be paid, and the emperor did not want hungry soldiers. Xu Wen was not prepared to exploit them too harshly, so he immediately said:
"Monks at all levels are given spiritual stones, which are doubled during war. They can also perform tasks to obtain spiritual stones in peacetime."
"In addition, I will refine a furnace of foundation-building pills every twenty years or so. Those with great merit and qualifications will be given priority."
"No matter race or past, treat everyone equally!"
