When the other party approached, Huang Shengyuan was already approaching him.
After a conversation, Huang Shengyuan took out a sum of jade money from the cloth bag and handed it to the other party.
The group of people collected the money, threw an iron plate to Huang Shengyuan, and turned around to leave.
Huang Shengyuan came back and informed that the previous group of people were a patrol team formed on the island. Everyone entering and leaving the island, as long as they were monks, had to pay ten spiritual jade coins.
The pattern is similar to the Five Elements Gate on the coast.
Lin Dong muttered: "This shabby place has the nerve to accept money."
Huang Shengyuan frowned, "Yuanci Island has three mountains and sixteen caves, all of which are equipped with spirit gathering arrays, which can be provided for monks to practice in seclusion. But the most ordinary cave house costs five hundred spirit jade coins a year."
Chen Qingyan said: "What sects are there on Yuanci Island?"
Huang Shengyuan replied, "Fourteen small sects, three mountains and sixteen caves, were jointly built by these sects. Among them, the Wind River Sect has two major cultivators, so Yuanci Island is actually controlled by the Wind River Sect."
Chen Qingyan understood and made a decision, "Find a place to stay first, and then make plans after understanding the situation in the East Wasteland."
Everyone has no objection.
Next, Chen Qingyan and his party went straight to the most prosperous area of Yuanci Island.
The other end.
The patrol team that came to collect Huang Shengyuan's bag of jade money was dividing the spoils.
Wang Daofu accepted the money that belonged to him. Seeing everyone's faces full of joy, he rolled his eyes and said:
"Judging by their accents, those people must be from overseas."
When the team was silent, a female cultivator seemed to think of something and smiled: "What are you planning again?"
"I think they came here on the run. Maybe they wanted to go inland because of the chaos caused by the demons on the sea. Now they all have a lot of money, and the opportunity is rare. If they wait for them to go inland, they will be all at an advantage to the Five Elements Sect."
"It's a beautiful idea. If you want to die, go do it yourself."
"Here's a reminder. I've seen it. Among that group of people, there are more than 20 monks alone. Wang Daofu, don't say you are at the bottom here. Even if you become a major cultivator, you can't afford to offend others. .”
"They might just get together temporarily, and they might separate soon..." Wang Daofu was saying, but when he saw that everyone didn't care at all, he could only shut up.
But in my heart, there was always some reluctance.

"Rui Xi, let's walk around."
Chen Qingyan and his group of several hundred people rented a hilltop in the southwest. There was a row of vacant buildings on the hill, which was enough to accommodate them.
Not far from the bottom of the mountain is the busiest place on Yuanci Island. There are three mountains and sixteen caves scattered around, all sharing the same spiritual vein.
Rui Xi's news was too late, and now the spiritual veins have been discovered on Yuanci Island.
Otherwise, no overhaul would be willing to stay.
When the two of them went down the mountain, there were gradually more and more people on the road. From time to time, monks' weapons flew and landed in various caves.
With Chen Qingyan's eyesight, he could see from a long distance that these caves were densely packed with honeycomb-like caves.
This should be the humble room Huang Shengyuan mentioned before.
They didn't rent.
Because I'm not sure if I want to stay here for a long time.
Let’s not consider the matter of cultivation for now.
Yuanci Island is very lively.
There are all kinds of people, with all kinds of accents, and sometimes you can’t hear clearly what is being said if you don’t distinguish them carefully.
There were only a few alchemy stores on the island. Chen Qingyan browsed them all and found that although there were magic elixirs for sale, the prices were ridiculously expensive and the quality was not that good.
I think the alchemist behind it has very ordinary attainments.
Chen Qingyan also saw several weapon refining shops.
And some grocery stores that sell everything and accept everything.
But the largest number of shops on the island are shops that purchase and sell various materials, such as sea animal skins, monster pills, various types of spiritual fish, deep-sea horns, etc.
Yuanci Island is located on the sea. It is the closest island to the inland. It relies on the mountains and the sea, and is rich in seafood resources.
It is probably for this reason that some people established a sect here, and there were overhauls to guard the island.
Find out more.
Chen Qingyan still doesn't know the relationship between Yuanci Island and the Five Elements Sect.
If you want to quickly establish a foothold in the Eastern Wasteland, the fastest way is to occupy an unclaimed land.
For example, Yuanci Island, at least on the surface, is ownerless.
But this place is not suitable as their new "base".
Yuanci Island is just the border of Donghuang, worse than the Five Towns of Chongyue.
As a temporary base, like Black Bamboo Mountain, it is feasible.
...
A few days later.
A hilltop to the southwest of Yuanci Island.
Chen Qingyan, Rui Xi, the heads of the Lin family, Huang family, Fei Yilong and others gathered together.
After discussing together for a long time, we finally came to a conclusion.
"After three months, the Qingxuan Sect will open its gates and recruit more disciples. Sir, just go there. Even if you can't get into the core and can't do the true story, you can still be a guest and worship."
Next to Lin Dong, the head of the Lin family talked eloquently, "With this identity, we can rebuild the alchemy shop in Qingxuanfang City."
Huang Shengyuan echoed from the side, "The leader of the Lin family is right, but Qingxuanmen is still inland. If you want to reach the mountain gate, you have to pass through the Five Elements Gate first. The relationship between the Five Elements Gate and Qingxuanmen is bad, but our relationship cannot be leaked easily. Otherwise, it might cause some unnecessary trouble."
Fei Yilong wondered, "The Five Elements Sect is no worse than the Qingxuan Sect, so why not just join the Five Elements Sect. This would save a lot of trouble."
Rui Xi glanced at him and said concisely, "Above the Qingxuan Gate is the Huanglong Palace."
Fei Yilong was shocked and looked at Chen Qingyan in surprise: "Do you want to borrow the Qingxuan Sect and directly enter the Huanglong Palace?"
Huanglong Palace, one of the ten most powerful sects in the Eastern Wasteland, is one of the most powerful forces in the Four Wildernesses. It is said that a Yellow Dragon is suppressed in the back mountain, hence its name.
The palace-suppressing magical power "Huangting Dragon Transformation Sutra" is even rare among the wild evils, which can directly reach the fairyland and leap over the dragon gate.
Huanglong Palace is stronger than Leiyin Temple.
Chen Qingyan really wanted to join Qingxuan Sect, and he really wanted to use Qingxuan Sect as a springboard to join Huanglong Palace.
He is also very interested in the supreme magical skill that can "turn a dragon into an immortal".
But those are long-term and possibly unattainable extravagant hopes.
Chen Qingyan is very simple. In the short term, his goal is to first establish his own "Yuandian self-produced and self-sold" channel.
Based on the skill of alchemy, he tried every means to obtain a large amount of raw materials.
To accomplish this in a short period of time, he needs to have a good identity to implement it.
Otherwise, you are just a casual cultivator.
Loose cultivators can't do anything.
Now that he had a plan, Chen Qingyan made arrangements directly without any delay:
"Rui Xi and the head of the Huang family will go with me. The rest will stay on Yuanci Island temporarily to collect spiritual plants, spiritual grass and spiritual fruits. Don't cause trouble, but if someone provokes you, there is no need to be polite. Wait until I take the position of guest minister of Qingxuanmen , there will be a time when I can use you."
In fact, three months later, not only Qingxuan Sect opened its mountain gate, but even now, some sects such as Five Elements Sect are also recruiting troops.
Compared with the backcountry like Beihuang, which has not changed much for thousands of years.
The natural treasures of the Eastern Wilderness are by no means just words.
Every once in a while, treasures of heaven and earth appear, strange flowers and trees, spiritual seeds of heaven and earth are born, ancient secret realms are born, etc.
It took hundreds or thousands of years for an ice soul to appear in the Northern Wilderness, but it could only be seen several times in a hundred years in the Eastern Wilderness.
Not to mention the "fierce gods" and "evil evil spirits"...
