Ten days passed quickly. Cheng Ling stepped off the flying boat and knew that Zhang Chu was indeed on island No. 49 based on the induction in his spiritual consciousness. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, remembering the hasty escape and the two of them parting ways, never expecting that Zhang Chu would come back again.
The flying boat slowly docked, but it was Island No. 45 that docked. After all, the environment on islands 46 to 49 is too harsh, and only some casual cultivators will go there to try their luck. The remaining 45 islands have long been divided up by various sects.
If there is power entrenched, it is natural to open the channel. As for the islands after 46, sorry, I can fly or swim there but it depends on your wishes. Feizhou is not responsible for delivery. Cheng Ling didn't bother to bother. After getting off the flying boat, he flew towards Island No. 49.
Three days later, Island No. 49 was in front of us, and from a distance, Zhang Chu was already waiting on the shore. With both feet on the ground, Zhang Chu came forward excitedly and said, "Master, you are finally back! I knew you would be able to escape the pursuit of the demon giant."
Cheng Ling felt a little moved in her heart. Although there was a reason for the ban, Zhang Chu's performance did not seem to be fake. He patted his shoulder lightly and said, "Yes, his cultivation has reached the late stage of Luo Tianxian."
"This is to help the master improve his cultivation level and make his subordinates' understanding of the way of heaven rise a lot. Only then can they break through the heavenly immortal stage and advance to Luotian Shangxian."
"Well, there's no need to be so polite between you and me. From now on, we'll call each other by our names instead of calling ourselves subordinates."
"Yes, Brother Cheng!"
"Why did you come back to the island group? By the way, how long has it been since we separated?"
Zhang Chu suppressed the excitement in his heart. Cheng Ling's recognition made him sigh with relief. At least the other party did not regard him as a slave! After thinking for a while, he said: "Twenty-six years have passed since we separated."
Cheng Ling sighed in his heart. He really had no time to practice. He didn't expect that he had stayed in the Black Demon Abyss for twenty-six years. In addition to the more than ten years in the island group, it had been nearly forty years since he ascended to the immortal world. After such a long time, it is very likely that a disciple of the Luochen Sword Sect will rise up. There is no time to waste and we must take action immediately!
He asked again: "Tell me about the situation of the island group!"
"At that time, Brother Cheng asked us to escape separately. I knew that the Demonic Giant would only pursue you. I was safe, but I was still worried about it. Therefore, after hiding outside for a while, I returned to the island group."
"I just didn't expect that the island group had long been divided up by the major forces, and the demon giant had also disappeared. Only the next five islands were left. Because of the poor cultivation environment, those sects lost interest in fighting for it. .”
"Many of our monks who were originally in the island group joined various forces. Some of them were unwilling to join and had nowhere to go, so they were driven to the last five islands, and I was among them."
Cheng Ling nodded, having guessed this when Zhang Chu went to ask for help. He then asked: "What sects are they? Aren't you a disciple of the Xuantian Sect? Why don't you return to the sect?"
Zhang Chu smiled bitterly and said: "It's not that I don't want to, but the elders of the sect won't let me. It was the elders of the sect who sent us to the Ascension Hall to pick up the ascended monks in the first place. In addition, we have been trapped on the island for more than ten years, and it is impossible to turn around at this time. There is no place for me.”
"Therefore, I simply left the sect and united with some casual cultivators to go to Island No. 49. While waiting for Brother Cheng to return, I tried to find ways to obtain resources for cultivation."
"As for the island group, there are currently many forces, dozens of large and small, but the most powerful ones are the Baiyun Sect,
The four sects, Fenglei Pavilion, Wushuang Valley, and Xuantian Sect, occupy more than thirty islands, and most of the remaining islands are peripheral forces of the four sects. "
Cheng Ling nodded. These guys were so fast. After all their hard work, they ended up making wedding clothes for others. But even so, he has other means.
After a long silence, he asked again: "I heard that there is an organization called the Ascended Monk Alliance in the island group. Was it you who founded it?"
Zhang Chu was so surprised that Cheng Ling had even guessed this. He then said: "Yes, most of those who were expelled to the last five islands were monks who had just ascended. They were not allowed to enter, so they could only huddle together to keep warm and form an alliance. Because I was a higher cultivation level, they were Be elected as the leader of the alliance."
"One Sword Dominates"
"How many people are there exactly?"
"There are not many people, only about two thousand, and their cultivation levels are generally low. On the one hand, the cultivation environment is harsh and it is extremely difficult to obtain resources; on the other hand, there is no corresponding inheritance and no techniques for transformation, so it is impossible to improve the realm."
"How many of these people can be trusted?"
"About three hundred people!"
Cheng Ling nodded silently. Zhang Chu was very capable in this area and never made empty talk. He then said: "Now there are a few things for you to do!"
Zhang Chu hurriedly said: "Brother Cheng, please give me your instructions!"
"The first thing is my origin. It's time to tell you! I am not a monk who ascended from the mortal world, but from the star realm. As for why I appeared in the Ascension Hall, I can't explain the specific reason."
"Therefore, as soon as I entered the Immortal Realm, my cultivation level was the Heavenly Immortal Stage. The next step is the key. I founded a sect in the Star Realm called Luochen Sword Sect. I believe that soon there will be people like me who will come to the Immortal Realm. , or in other words, they have already ascended."
"The task given to you is to select a few reliable people to guard the Ascension Hall, and ask the monks who have just ascended if there are any from the Luochen Sword Sect. Once discovered, bring them here immediately."
Zhang Chu suddenly realized that he felt something was wrong with Cheng Ling's performance back then. It turned out that his cultivation level had always been above his own. In the Star Realm, this lost interface, why Ascension would go to Ascension Hall is really puzzling.
Cheng Ling continued: "The second thing is, I have some elixirs and materials here, and I will leave them all to you now. Find a way to go to the other islands and buy as many shops as possible. Let's call the shops Luochen Pharmaceutical!"
"Remember, on the surface this shop is a place to sell elixir materials, but it is actually a place to gather information and establish a huge intelligence network. Now it is set up in the island group. In the future, when resources are sufficient, it will continue to spread inland until the entire Zhongyuan Continent!”
Zhang Chu was shocked. Cheng Ling's idea was too bold. What on earth does he want to do by establishing a huge intelligence network? And it is spread throughout the Zhongyuan Continent, so how many resources are needed. I was completely stunned for a while, and couldn't come back to my senses for a while.
Cheng Ling waited for him to digest it for a moment before saying: "Don't worry, the intelligence network covers the entire Zhongyuan Continent. This is the ultimate goal. We can expand step by step and steadily."
Only then did Zhang Chu react and replied in a trembling voice: "Yes, Brother Cheng!"
"The third thing is, are there any of your confidants who are proficient in alchemy or formations? If so, recommend them. I can teach alchemy and set up immortal formations on your behalf. From now on, the last five islands will be our territory. The environment will be greatly improved and it will soon be suitable for human monks to practice."
"But Brother Cheng, if the people here
The environment has changed, and those major forces will definitely covet her. Will they marry others? "
Cheng Ling sneered and said: "They are getting their wishful thinking, but it depends on whether I am willing or not. You don't have to worry about these, after all, the five islands will be the foundation of Luochen Pharmaceutical, with the corresponding materials and resources It all comes from it.”
Zhang Chu was doubtful, but thinking about it, since Cheng Ling could break the seal of the island group, he must have some unknown means. He agreed immediately and prepared to leave.
Cheng Ling stopped him, took out a storage ring and said, "The ring I gave you before was used as the starting capital for Luochen Pharmaceutical. This was a personal gift from me, and the contents inside should be of some help to you. "
Zhang Chu took it, his consciousness swept away, and his face suddenly became happy. There were several bottles of elixirs inside. Judging from the fragrance of the medicines, it was obviously of great help to my cultivation. Not only that, he also saw many inheritance tokens. After just a cursory glance, he was shocked by the contents inside.
As for the remaining dark crystals and essence, he didn't know what they were and what they did. He couldn't help but look at Cheng Ling, his face full of doubts.
Cheng Ling laughed and explained: "I won't go into detail about the elixirs and inheritance tokens. These black stones are called Crystals of Darkness. They can help you understand the artistic conception of darkness. As for the white object, it is called Crystals of Darkness." It’s Jingyuan, which can strengthen your body!”
"These resources are enough for you to be promoted to the Daluo Golden Immortal stage, and your combat power will be superior to that of monks in the same realm. It is even possible to kill enemies across realms!"
"The people in the Ascended Monk Alliance should be living unsatisfactory lives. The resources in the previous rings can greatly increase their strength. How to do it and how to gain their loyalty, I guess I don't need to say more about these!"
Zhang Chu's mind was agitated. With such a master, his future progress would not be as fast as a thousand miles! He then said: "Yes, Brother Cheng! From now on, all the Ascended Monk Alliance are disciples of the Luochen Sword Sect, so let's call Brother Cheng the sect master!"
Cheng Ling waved his hand and said: "It's too early to call me sect master, and it's not the best time to establish a sect yet. So, from now on, you will all call me young master, and you will be the first shopkeeper of Luochen Pharmaceutical!"
"Shopkeeper?" Zhang Chu's heart froze. He instinctively felt that this title was too philistine, but seeing Cheng Ling's high interest, he could only swallow the bitter pill and accept this title.
After the two of them finished talking, Zhang Chu took Cheng Ling back to the newly built city lord's palace, and then left to arrange a few important events.
The environment on Island No. 49 is the same as always, half full of strong demonic energy and half full of fairy energy. It's just that the two are no longer distinct, but completely mixed together.
Cheng Ling swept his consciousness and came to the center of the previous formation. When escaping, several small formations were activated to self-destruct, and the center of the formations was blown beyond recognition. But this is not a problem for him. With Daoji's formation inheritance, it is not difficult to reset a sealing immortal formation.
Moreover, this time, it is not necessary to include all the islands, only the last five islands are needed. The scope is reduced, making it easier to set up the sealing formation. But Cheng Ling was not satisfied. Those sects occupied the remaining 45 islands, and the last five islands could not get any more hands on it.
He plans to set up a new phantom formation on the sea, covering all the last five islands. Without his permission, no one can easily enter!
