Chapter 346 Xuanwu Island

After discussing with Xing Xiao and the Zhou brothers, Wu Yan finally had a clearer understanding of the current situation.

If he wanted to gain a foothold in this Xumi Sea and practice peacefully, he would not be able to do so without trying to obtain an island owner token.

With the island owner token in hand, he could choose an island in the free sea as his own territory and settle down. Otherwise, if he depended on other island owners or joined the sect, unless he was a core disciple, he would not have enough time to practice.

The tasks assigned by the island owner or the sect alone were enough to keep him busy all year round. Of course, he could spend a lot of spirit stones to manage them, or he could refuse such tasks.

However, this was not what Wu Yan wanted.

Since he wanted to practice in seclusion to restore his strength, he had to be completely free from external interference. Moreover, if he wanted to restore his realm, he had to refine some specific elixirs. If the spiritual materials needed for these elixirs were not produced through the fairy green soil collected by the Tiandi Honglu, it would probably be bankrupt if he just bought them.

Furthermore, he had to avoid the pursuit of the Blood Demon Sect. If he had the island master token in hand, he could be protected by the Sea Hunting Alliance. Even if he had a grudge, without real evidence, the Blood Demon Sect could not do anything to him.

For now, he had to find a place to live first, cultivate some spiritual medicines, and refine foundation-building pills.

Not only did he have to build a foundation, but since he wanted to seize the position of the island master, his followers like Xing Xiao and the Zhou brothers also had to help them build a foundation.

Otherwise, relying solely on the cultivation of the Qi Refining Stage would not be of much use.

Through observations during this period of time, Wu Yan realized that these people had no problem with loyalty. What was valuable was that Xing Xiao and the Zhou brothers and the other three still had some abilities and were worth cultivating.

If he seized the position of the island master, he alone could not be a bare island master. Someone had to help him deal with some daily chores, even some things that he was not convenient to do.

What surprised Wu Yan was that all of these cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage were Five Elements cultivators.

It was said that most of the immortal cultivators in the sea area of ​​Shenmu Island also practiced the Five Elements technique. This was because most of the spiritual vein islands in the Xumi Sea actually had five complete spiritual veins. In addition, the Five Elements technique was quite powerful, especially in fighting against the sea beast tide, which had an innate advantage.

In this way, as long as Wu Yan could refine enough Five Elements Foundation Building Pills, these people would have a great chance to build a foundation.

Wu Yan had checked the physical constitutions of these people. Although they were not very good spiritual roots, many of them had actually cultivated to more than the tenth level of Qi Refining.

This was enough to show how abundant the Five Elements spiritual energy was in the Xumi Sea. If there were Foundation Building Pills, I should have some confidence in building a foundation.

Back then, I was able to successfully build a foundation with my ordinary spiritual roots. If nothing unexpected happened, these people should be able to do it too. The key issue was the Foundation Building Pill.

In the Xumi Sea, all the foundation-building pills are controlled by the four major sects. Even those powerful island owners do not have the ability to refine foundation-building pills independently. They also buy them from the four major sects at high prices. It is obviously unrealistic to rely on purchasing, and it is not what Wu Yan wants to do.

After all, he has refined foundation-building pills before. As long as there are sufficient spiritual medicines, he can find an opportunity to refine them.

In this Xumi Sea, it is hard to say what else is lacking, but the most is the demon pill. Especially the five-element demon pill. Therefore, the problem of refining the five-element foundation-building pill is not a problem for Wu Yan at all.

There are two years to prepare, which is enough.

The problem now is to find a temporary place to stay.

Xing Xiao’s suggestion is to get away from this place immediately after receiving the identity token in the hall of the Hunting Sea Alliance on Xuanwu Island.

If you live on this Xuanwu Island, not to mention the high fees, the Xuanwu Island is often invaded by the Blood Demon Sect. All the monks living on this island are obliged to participate in the island protection war, which is very troublesome.

Xing Xiao's analysis coincided with Wu Yan's. It would not take long for the Blood Demon Sect to find out about the Jieli Island.

The location of Xuanwu Island was awkward. Once the Blood Demon Sect found out Wu Yan's whereabouts, there would be unpredictable dangers and troubles.

Therefore, Xing Xiao suggested to Wu Yan that after receiving the identity token in the Xingdian, he should directly spend a sum of spirit stones to leave the teleportation array of this island and go to the Hunting Island located in the center of the Shenmu Island.

This Hunting Island is available in the four major seas. On this island, there are the Hunting Sea Hall and the Juxian Residence.

The Hunting Sea Hall is where the island owners of the island seizing conference register, and it is also the base for the Hunting Sea Alliance to receive the participating island owners. The Juxian Residence is prepared for casual cultivators who have no place to stay, but if you want to live there, you need to pay a certain amount of compensation. These compensations are much lower than those of ordinary islands. The main reason is that the place selected by the Hunting Sea Island is not a spiritual island with rich spiritual veins. The richness of the spiritual energy on it is average, especially the Juxian Residence, which is built at the foot of the mountain with thin spiritual energy on the island.

Fortunately, no matter which sect, no one dared to act recklessly on Liehai Island. As long as the independent cultivators could live in Juxianju, they would not be found and retaliated by their enemies.

After a brief thought, Wu Yan knew that Xing Xiao's suggestion was the most feasible strategy at the moment.

Therefore, Wu Yan ordered everyone to sail to Xuanwu Island that day.

The ship was originally circling the outer waters of Xuanwu Island, so it took less than half a day for the ship to enter the waters near Xuanwu Island.

Standing on the deck, Wu Yan was surprised to find that a powerful protective array appeared in front of him.

The protective array was a thick sea fog with a radius of about a thousand miles. Xuanwu Island was hidden in the sea fog and could not be seen at all.

Before the ship approached the sea fog formed by the protective array, a ray of spiritual light rushed out of the sea fog.

Wu Yan's face moved slightly, but Xing Xiao made a reassuring gesture to him, and then took out a small jade card from his storage bag. At the same time, the guards on other ships had already lowered the sails and also took out the jade cards.

"Which ship are you from? Who is the ship owner?" The spiritual light paused and stopped in the air more than ten feet away from the ship. It was a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building wearing a light green robe, stepping on a flying sword magic weapon, and asked everyone indifferently. At the same time, his spiritual sense was released and scanned the ship.

Xing Xiao respectfully bowed to the cultivator and said with a smile: "Senior Hong, I, Xing Xiao, am the owner of this ship. I have served as a disciple protecting merchants in the Xuanwu Island Merchant Alliance. This is my identity jade card. Please verify it!"

As he said that, Xing Xiao held up the jade card in his hands.

"Oh? Do you know me?" The cultivator surnamed Hong Fei responded with an arrogant look, and raised his hand, and the jade card in Xing Xiao's hand fell into his hand.

"Of course I recognize Senior Hong. In a naval battle a few years ago, you were able to kill two foundation-building demon cultivators of the Blood Demon Sect with a mid-level magic flying sword. Your reputation has spread throughout the sea area of ​​our Shenmu Island. How could I not recognize you?" Xing Xiao flattered him.

The cultivator surnamed Hong had a blank expression on his face, but when he heard Xing Xiao's words, his mouth corners lifted involuntarily, revealing a faint smile, "Haha, a little achievement, what's the point? I didn't expect you to be thoughtful and know about Hong. The identity jade token is fine."

The cultivator surnamed Hong pinched his fingers and injected a stream of magic power into the jade token, then after sweeping his consciousness over it, he nodded and threw the jade token back to Xing Xiao, looking quite complacent.

"Who are these people? Do you have the identity jade cards of the Shenmu Island Sea Area?"

"Reporting to Senior Hong, these are the disciples who are protecting the merchants with me, and most of them have identity jade cards. However, this relative of mine has only become a cultivator in recent years and has been living on a remote island. He has not had time to go to the Alliance Hall to get the identity jade card. This time, he happened to meet me, so he came to our Xuanwu Island and went to the Hall to get the jade card." Xing Xiao hurriedly explained to the cultivator surnamed Hong.

The other guards did not dare to neglect them, and all handed over their identity jade cards to the cultivator surnamed Hong for inspection.

After checking them one by one, the cultivator surnamed Hong's eyes fell on Wu Yan, and he exclaimed in surprise: "He is your relative? What's his name? I didn't expect that he could cultivate to the tenth level of Qi Refining Stage on a deserted island in the outer sea. It's not easy."

"Haha, junior Wu Yan, meet Senior Hong. I was just lucky." Wu Yan smiled indifferently and bowed to the cultivator surnamed Hong.

"Okay, no problem. I will open a corner of the protective array, and you can go in." The monk surnamed Hong just glanced at Wu Yan. Seeing that he was dressed quite ordinary and his appearance was unremarkable, he nodded indifferently.

Then, the monk surnamed Hong took out a silver token from his body, injected magic power into it, and shook it towards the thick sea fog.

A white light shot out from the silver token and swept over the sea fog. But after the sea fog rolled for a while, a passage more than ten feet wide was revealed.

A strange suction came from the passage, and the ship involuntarily followed the suction and drove into the passage.

Wu Yan's eyes flashed with strange colors. This magic array is really strange, and it has such a magical function. No wonder everyone lowered the sails early when they arrived here, but it turned out that they didn't need to rely on the power of the sails.

After entering the protective formation, the monk surnamed Hong disappeared in the sea fog in a flash, and the passage was also closed in the sea fog.

Wu Yan was amazed and couldn't help looking at a huge island inside.

The island in front of him was about a thousand miles in radius. A huge city built with green boulders was located on this island. In the center of the huge city, there was a mountain about a thousand feet high, and the rich five elements of spiritual energy lingered in it, which was really like the atmosphere of immortals.

Monks with magic tools or magic weapons under their feet could be seen everywhere, flying in and out of the city.

To the south of the huge city, there was an extremely large seaport with hundreds of large and small ships moored. The largest of them was a thousand feet in size, like a monster crouching at the foot of the huge city.

By comparison, Wu Yan discovered that the ship he and his people were riding on could only be considered the smallest and lowest-level cargo ship.
