After so many years of getting along with each other, Li Changsheng has long regarded Taoist Lingxu as his master and is full of respect and gratitude for him. However, the problem of Taoist Lingxu's soul gradually dissipating has always been a thorn in Li Changsheng's heart. He knew clearly that that day would come sooner or later, but he did not dare to face it. Whenever his thoughts touched on this matter, he would feel an unspeakable heartache.
In order to find a way to extend the life of Taoist Lingxu, Li Changsheng has been collecting various classics and ancient books over the years, hoping to find clues from them. He spent a lot of time and energy, constantly studying and exploring, but he was never able to find a solution as he wished.
Although Li Changsheng knew that he might not be able to change the fate of Taoist Lingxu's soul disappearing, he was still unwilling to give up. He held a glimmer of hope in his heart, looking forward to a miracle. This kind of persistence and tenacity not only stems from his deep feelings for Taoist Lingxu, but also because he doesn't want to see the people he cares about disappear in front of his eyes. The pain and helplessness are unbearable for him.
"My little friend, you really don't need to worry too much about me. You have done a lot for me over the years, and I am deeply gratified. No matter who you are, as long as you don't ascend to the immortal world, you will eventually die one day. I No exception."
"Indeed, I may not be able to witness the glorious moment when you advance to the Ascension Stage, but I firmly believe that I will definitely be able to see the day when you advance to the Divine Transformation Stage. Therefore, little friend, you really don't have to feel sad or sad for me. Lost. On the contrary, you should focus more on your own cultivation, seize every moment, and work hard to improve your strength. I look forward to your early breakthrough to the divine transformation stage. That will be my most gratifying moment."
"Senior Lingxu, don't worry, you will definitely see that day." After saying that, Li Changsheng began to adjust his breath to prepare for the retreat.
Xin Mingyue was not in a hurry to practice in seclusion. Instead, she focused entirely on the golden phoenix fire she had just obtained. Although Jinfeng Yihuo had recognized her as the master, she still couldn't feel completely at ease, and there was an uncontrollable excitement surging deep in her heart. She hopes to refine this powerful golden phoenix fire as soon as possible and make it truly become a part of herself. Therefore, she devoted herself wholeheartedly to the process of refining the strange fire, carefully controlling the flame, and meticulously refining this majestic power.
At this moment, Li Changsheng had gone deep into seclusion, without any distractions, and was fully focused on the path of cultivation. Even Xiao Hei started his own practice and was immersed in the endless ocean of spiritual energy.
Taoist Lingxu, on the other hand, stood quietly inside the nine-turn incense burner. His presence was like a sea-fixing needle. The entire cave was filled with tranquility and harmony, as if time had stopped at this moment.
At this time, Lingyun Island presented a vibrant scene. After Li Changsheng left, Zhang Yumo not only devoted himself to his own cultivation, but also devoted all his thoughts to the development of the sect.
Under Zhang Yumo's careful management, the population of Lingyun Island has increased several times from the original more than 100,000 mortals, and the prosperity is eye-catching. At the same time, the number of monks in the sect has also increased significantly, from more than a thousand in the past to four to five thousand now, which is a huge scale. Over the years, Lingyun Island has successfully more than doubled its island area through continuous reclamation. Everything seems to be moving in the right direction.
On this day, Zhang Yumo brought all the materials produced by the sect this month to the cave where the teleportation array was located. After detailed communication with Chen Yanjun and confirming that everything was ready, Zhang Yumo resolutely stepped into the teleportation array. As the formation was activated, her figure gradually disappeared into the aura-filled formation, and she was teleported to Jiuzhou Trading Company in an instant.
"Xianzi Zhang is so punctual every time. It's really admirable." Chen Yanjun chuckled.
"I'm worried that Fellow Daoist Chen is too busy. At the end of every month, Jiuzhou Trading Company is always bustling with monks buying and receiving goods. If I'm not on time, I might make Fellow Daoist Chen spend more time waiting in his busy schedule, or... Please order on time so as not to delay Fellow Daoist Chen's time."
As Zhang Yumo spoke, he placed the carefully prepared materials on the table one by one. Upon closer inspection, there were actually as many as ten storage bags. Chen Yanjun couldn't help but feel a little incredible. It was really shocking that a small sect could produce so many precious materials in a month.
Chen Yanjun looked at the neatly arranged storage bags in front of him, full of expectations and curiosity about the development potential of the Lingyun Island sect, but Chen Yanjun also knew that the danger was approaching Lingyun Island step by step. If Zhang Yu did not take measures, Mo's Yuyan Sect will definitely be in trouble.
"I wonder how much Fairy Zhang knows about the scene of Lingyun Island in the past?"
Although Zhang Yumo didn't understand why Chen Yanjun asked this question, she still described her understanding of Lingyun Island in detail. During her eloquent description, Chen Yanjun nodded while listening, seeming to deeply agree with Zhang Yumo's statement.
"Xianzi Zhang, when we first started cooperating, the Yuyan Sect could only produce three bags of monster materials per month. However, now, in just a few years, your Yuyan Sect's monthly output has actually exceeded It has increased to as many as ten bags. This growth rate is really amazing, but doesn’t Fairy Zhang think that this development rate is too fast? What’s more, the area of Lingyun Island is still expanding.”
Zhang Yumo had already heard the implication of Chen Yanjun's words. She pondered for a moment and then said: "Does Fellow Daoist Chen mean that the development speed of Lingyun Island is too rapid, which has caused dissatisfaction among some people?"
"In recent times, many monks have been paying attention to the developments on Lingyun Island. But please rest assured, Fairy Zhang, these monks are not from the Star Sea Alliance, but from several large trading houses on Chengyue Island. They seem to be interested in Lingyun Island. The rapid development has generated strong interest.”
Zhang Yumo heard what Chen Yanjun meant. If these big trading houses really settled on Lingyun Island, many monks would definitely come one after another, trying to get a share of the benefits in this resource-rich place.
By then, Lingyun Island will undoubtedly become the focus of everyone's attention, and the forces on Chengyue Island will definitely be waiting for the opportunity to take Lingyun Island under their control. Facing such a powerful opponent, Lingyun Island today is really difficult to compete with. If they refuse to surrender, they may only be destroyed in the end.
"I wonder if Fellow Daoist Chen has any clever tips?"
"Hahahahaha..."
"I just asked Fairy Zhang about her knowledge of Lingyun Island's past precisely for this matter. However, it seems that Fairy Zhang is not very familiar with the past history of Lingyun Island."
Zhang Yumo herself is a monk on Chengyue Island, and of course she knows Lingyun Island very well, but now she is a fan of the authorities and may not be able to cover everything. Now she wants to hear Chen Yanjun's opinion.
So Zhang Yumo said with a smile: "Please give me some advice, Fellow Daoist Chen."
"It's not really any advice. It's just that the environment of Lingyun Island was quite harsh in the past and there were so many monsters that many monks were unwilling to set foot in this sea area. Of course, there were some monks who thought highly of themselves and came here, but most of them People were attacked by monsters and lost their lives. Over time, this place became inaccessible, and no one was willing to come easily."
"Xianzi Zhang, you can start with the route. You know, if a trading company wants to enter Lingyun Island, the first thing it needs to do is to send personnel to find a suitable round-trip route. After all, not every trading company has the ability to deploy teleportation arrays like the Jiuzhou Trading Company. ability."
"Does Fellow Daoist Chen suggest that I intercept and kill these monks? I'm afraid this is not appropriate. If we take such an action rashly and are discovered, Lingyun Island will not be far away from the day of destruction."
"I don't want Fairy Zhang to take action personally. The solution lies in outsmarting rather than outsmarting the enemy. I have some sea soul grass here. If Fairy Zhang can use it skillfully, the potential crisis can basically be resolved. But there is one thing that must be kept in mind. Just try to avoid further expansion before Fellow Daoist Li returns, otherwise we may fall into unpredictable dangers."
"Isn't this sea soul grass extinct? Does the Jiuzhou Trading Company still have stock?"
"Xianzi Zhang doesn't have to worry too much about this matter. The reason why I am willing to help is entirely for the sake of fellow Daoist Li. At the same time, I also hope that today's matter can be kept secret and not spread to outsiders. These two storage bags, you Take it, there are some things inside that you may need. I won’t keep Fairy Zhang any longer, Jiuzhou Trading Company has been quite busy recently.”
