Qingyuan Immortal Palace

"Hey, because...because Master Hexian is on this island, we must supply him with our spiritual herbs and spiritual stones every year," Shen Chun said with a sigh.

"And every year, he provides several sixteen-year-old girls as his concubines, but... they all die suddenly!"

"You fart, and you died suddenly. I think it's probably the old bastard who finished harvesting the stuff, so he just killed him!" Nuo Poxin cursed directly and directly.

Fang Yang also frowned.

He already knew in his heart that if this cancer was not removed today, I am afraid that the entire Yanmu Island would never have peace in the future.

Fang Yang asked Shen Chun some more about the situation on the island.

For example, I asked about the threats from monsters nearby, what exotic treasures were produced, etc., and then asked about the location of the spiritual veins.

Fang Yang and the others then planned to open a cave.

Upon seeing this, Shen Chun immediately asked: "Island owner, I wonder how much annual tribute you have approved? We can pay it on time."

"Sigong?" Fang Yang asked puzzledly.

"Island owner, when you rented or bought this island, you naturally spent spiritual stones. You should obtain spiritual stones from here as your annual contribution!"

“That’s why the island performs corvées every year, asking young adults to go to the spirit stone mines to dig for spirit stones, and at the same time, special people are asked to collect spirit herbs as annual offerings!”

"I see!" Fang Yang said with a smile, "I wonder what it was like before?"

"All the spiritual stones were taken away by Master Hexian in the past. Although we knew this was inappropriate, we dared not speak out in anger."

Shen Chun lowered his head and said.

"And because Master Hexian requested too many spiritual stones, we had to arrange for more than 100,000 people to risk digging the spiritual stone mines, so hundreds of people died in the mines every year."

It is not easy for mortals to mine. They have to face terrifying low-level monsters underground.

Even if you don't encounter monsters, they will be injured by underground miasma and decay over time, so that many of them will die suddenly.

Therefore, it is not easy for mortals to mine spiritual stone mines.

Fang Yang looked at the mortals around him.

Fang Yang found that when they heard the mine, they were all silent.

Several women shed silent tears.

However, they seemed to be afraid that their crying would anger Fang Yang, so they just cried silently.

It is not difficult to guess that they must have relatives who died in the cannibal mine.

"How about this, ten spiritual stones and ten spiritual grasses every year!" Fang Yang said with a smile.

"Island Master, Island Master, I...did I hear correctly? Ten spiritual stones and ten spiritual grasses every year?"

Chen Chun's eyes were wide open and he couldn't believe this was true.

"You heard me right, ten spiritual stones and ten spiritual grasses every year!" Fang Yang said with a smile.

Then he and Nopo flew to the peak with spiritual veins.

Fang Yang collected ten spirit stones.

He only took it as a token of payment and did not give it away completely.

Because, his main purpose is not to destroy his own authority and not to harm mortal lives.

Fang Yang guessed that the city lord also had some savings.

Ten spiritual stones every year is simply child's play, and a large number of miners can be exempted from corvee labor.

Shen Chun and many other mortals looked at Fang Yang and the others' flying backs for a long time before reacting.

"Thank you, Lord Island Master!"

Shen Chun couldn't stop her tears from flowing down, and bowed in the direction where Fang Yang and the others flew away.

"Thank you, Master Immortal, the master of the island!"

"Thank you, Master Immortal, the island owner! My husband can come back from the mine..." A woman burst into tears.

"Great, my son can come back!"

An old woman with white hair kowtowed to Fang Yang as he flew away.

Although Fang Yang and the others flew far away, they could still hear the words of these mortals clearly with the spiritual thoughts of the foundation-building monks.

"It turns out that monks are aloof. If you can give others a little kindness, others will remember you. I wonder what a world where everyone is equal according to Brother He is like?"

Fang Yang and the others soon arrived at a spiritual vein cave. To be precise, this was also the cave where Taoist He used to occupy the magpie nest.

There were a few simple furnishings inside, but the alchemy room was also messy and disorganized, and there was also a smell of burning, which was naturally caused by Taoist He's failure in refining alchemy.

"This old bastard is a monk in the late stage of foundation building. How come the cave is three points poorer than the monks on the first and second levels of Qi training!" Nuopo couldn't help but curse.

"Don't worry, I still have its storage bag here!"

Fang Yang opened Taoist He's storage bag and saw that the space as big as three or four rooms inside was filled with spiritual stones and weapon refining materials.

"This old bastard is so rich!" Nopo was shocked.

There are more than 200,000 spiritual stones in Taoist He's storage bag.

In addition, there are many weapon refining materials in the storage bag, spiritual grass for alchemy, and even a sixth-level high-grade spiritual grass "Crimson Kong Xingxi Flower".

This thing is the same as the Zhuyan Jade Fruit that Fang Yang obtained from the Xuanyin Secret Realm. It is actually one of the spiritual herbs necessary for refining the "Golden Formation Pill".

There are also many jade slips in the storage bag.

From Zhong Fang Yang, he learned that the talisman in Tianhe Taoist's hand was an escape talisman that could be transferred to a place one or two miles away instantly.

Fang Yang has seen this before.

Back then, when she encountered the Yuanying stage turtle in the Xuanyin secret realm, Xie Xueyi was able to escape using the escape talisman refined by the Yuanying ancestor of the Wanxiang Sect.

However, the escape talisman refined by Yuanying monks can escape hundreds or even thousands of miles away.

And this talisman was only refined by the Golden elixir monks, so it could only escape a mile or two.

But this thing is still a powerful treasure for escaping.

And Fang Yang also found that although the spiritual herb named Jiangkong Xingxi Flower has been made into dry medicine, there are still scattered seeds on the spiritual herb that have not fallen.

Fang Yang was overjoyed, although this medicine needs more than 1,000 years to be used as a material for refining "Jie Jindan".

But Fang Yang has three-color divine soil and a small piece of five-color divine soil.

Therefore, it is not difficult for him to get "Jiangkong Xingxi Flower" that is more than a thousand years old.

"No wonder this guy is so stingy. Not only does he occupy Yanmu Island, but he also wants to rob us. I guess this guy wants to find an opportunity to buy or refine Jie Jindan to impact the Jindan realm!"

He Dong shook his head and said.

"The path of cultivation is extremely difficult, but I think this requires one to constantly fight against the sky, and should not be like He Dao Ren who levies and extorts money and is controlled by desires. What is the difference between this and beasts!" Zhang Lin also sighed.

"Who am I? Where do I come from? Where am I going?" He Dong suddenly said.

After hearing what He Dong said, everyone was silent for a while.

He Dong saw that everyone seemed a little confused and smiled: "These are the three ultimate philosophical questions in my hometown."

"My God... Brother He, what is philosophy?" Nuo Po asked puzzled.

"Hahaha..." He Dong laughed awkwardly.

"Philosophy is something that a few old scholars in my hometown have nothing to do when they are full, but what they think is very profound and deep, and can give people guidance. This is philosophy!"

"I don't understand what philosophy is, but I know that no matter what mess it is, whether it is cultivation or being a human being, the high priest taught me to stand up to the sky, and other monsters and ghosts, go to hell!" Nuo Po laughed.

"Hahaha, if you were in my hometown, you should also be considered a philosopher!" He Dong laughed.

Fang Yang also laughed. Although he didn't know what philosophy was, he had an inexplicable enlightenment in his heart, or it could be said to be an epiphany!

In the following days, the four of them began to work together to arrange the formation.

Fang Yang and his team first arranged the Seven Evils Yin-Yang Formation, placing seven formation artifacts at seven locations on Yanmu Fairy Island.

The seven locations are the Five Elements and Heaven and Earth.

The Five Elements of Evil Qi, such as Heaven Evil, Earth Evil, Water Evil in the Sea, Fire Evil of Earth Fire, and Wood Evil in the Mountains and Forests, were integrated into the Seven Evils.

If the formation is successfully arranged, it can cover most of the entire Yanmu Island.

Moreover, the four of them are masters of formations, and they have also obtained the formation methods of Qianyun Sect, which has improved them.

Although there is no high-level formation in the jade slip that Bai Xiaoyun took out, the essence of the formation has benefited Fang Yang and his team a lot.

The four of them continuously improved and optimized the formation according to the terrain here, and it took three months to complete the arrangement.

At the same time, Fang Yang and his team began to arrange the "Small Positive and Negative Two-Yin Wanxiang Formation", a copycat version of the Wanxiang Sect's mountain protection formation, on the basis of the Seven Evils Yin-Yang Formation.

Fortunately, the Small Positive and Negative Two-Yin Wanxiang Formation also has seven formation positions, so they don't need to develop formation positions anymore.

They arranged it directly on the basis of the Seven Evils Yin-Yang Formation.

The four of them worked together to their full potential and finally completed the formation of Yanmu Fairy Island half a year later.

The "Small Positive and Negative Two-Yin-and-Yang Formation" of Linglan Mountain and the "Seven Evils Yin-Yang Formation" of the East China Sea Islands cooperated with each other, which was considered to be a fusion of two different formations.

In this way, this formation is even more extraordinary.

It is not difficult for cultivators familiar with the formation of Linglan Mountain to crack the "Small Positive and Negative Two-Yin-and-Yang Formation", but it is very difficult to crack the "Seven Evils Yin-Yang Formation".

Vice versa, so it becomes extremely difficult to find people who want to crack the formation of Yanmu Fairy Island, unless they are at the peak of the early Jindan stage, or even the middle Jindan stage cultivators, and attack with all their strength for several days before they can be broken.

In this way, the combination of two formations is achieved!

Fang Yang and his Yanmu Island is even more solid.

After the formation was fully arranged, Fang Yang and his friends found Yanmu City Lord Shen Chun and explained the affairs of the island.

At the same time, he was given a jade slip to open the formation, which could be used to control some of the key points in the formation to attack the enemy when necessary, and then he went to practice in seclusion.

At this time, Fang Yang had successfully refined seven or eight furnaces of Snow Condensation Pills.

Each of them was given fifty or sixty pills.

At this time, it was time to break through the realm, and then the four of them took the Snow Condensation Pills in the cave that had been excavated and began to practice.

One by one, the Snow Condensation Pills turned into warm currents and entered Fang Yang's sea of ​​true energy.

The medicinal power was like a hot spring, which greatly nourished Fang Yang's body and mind.

Fang Yang seized the opportunity and continued to circulate the heavens, thirty-six turns, seventy-two turns...

There is no time in cultivation, and three years have passed soon.

Fang Yang and his friends practiced quite smoothly at the beginning. Fang Yang broke through two levels from the second level of foundation building to the fourth level of foundation building.

Zhang Lin and Nuo Po broke through to the fifth level of foundation building and became mid-stage foundation building cultivators.

He Dong even broke through to the sixth level of foundation building.

You have to know that in these three years, they can improve more than ordinary cultivators in the early stage of foundation building who practice for thirty or forty years.

However, the effect of Xue Ning Dan began to gradually decline as their realm improved.

Later, Fang Yang found that no matter what elixir he took, his body could not accommodate more spiritual energy.

Once these spiritual energies were saturated, they began to disperse to the limbs and bones, and even to the outside of the body.

Fang Yang knew that this was called the bottleneck of cultivation.

Not long after, He Dong and the other three encountered the same situation and had to interrupt their retreat.
