Staying in the sect, controlling beasts and cultivating immortals

"Less than two months... then it's not too far away..."

Yu Changsheng listened to what Shi Huishan said, nodded, then coughed twice as if thinking about something.

Shi Huishan's heart tightened, and he continued to clasp his fists, keeping a respectful look on his face, and said:
"With Fellow Daoist Yu's talent and strength, since you are going to Sea Beast Island, you will at least be an inner sect disciple. Thanks to Fellow Daoist's help, the three of us brothers know that it is impossible for us to enter the inner sect of Sea Beast Island. At most, we can only be outer sect disciples."

"I dare to follow you. You saved our lives. If anything happens on Sea Beast Island, my three brothers will go through fire and water without hesitation. I will do whatever you ask."

Shi Huishan said this sincerely and with gratitude:
The meaning of the words is moving and convincing.

After saying this, the two people beside Shi Huishan, Wu Xufei and Yang Ling, immediately clasped their fists and bowed their heads to thank Yu Changsheng.

The three of them knew in their hearts that the young man in front of them looked much younger than them, but the fact that he could kill Jiaolong and Han Chong was enough to explain the problem.

Being able to kill a peak fourth-order spirit beast and Han Chong who was in the late Purple Mansion stage, Yu Changsheng must be at least in the Purple Mansion stage, and he is also a genius who can fight across realms.

Although these people and they all went to the Sea Beast Island, the two types of people had different results. Shi Huishan knew very well that although his three brothers also had some talent and entered the Golden Core Realm within a hundred years, they would definitely be legitimate genius disciples in the outside world.

But on Tianhai Beast Island, it was nothing. He merely met the requirements of an outer sect disciple. Entering the inner sect was a pipe dream.

According to the threshold of Sea Beast Island, inner disciples must at least be a Golden Core cultivator within one decade or a Purple Mansion cultivator within three decades to have this possibility, unless there are special reasons.

Although the three of them were quite confident in themselves, they knew that it was hopeless for them to enter the inner sect, so they could only become outer sect disciples first and then look for opportunities to be promoted to the inner sect.

By then, you will become an inner disciple of the Sea Beast Island, which is a real holy place. Just telling others the address will make you superior to others. The resources and benefits you enjoy are what other cultivators dream of and will never get in their lifetime.

As for Yu Changsheng in front of them, in their opinion, he was also going to Haishutian Island, and it was a foregone conclusion for him to enter the inner gate, regardless of his talent and strength. Although they had not seen what the inner gate's high-priced disciples in Haishoutian Island were like, they felt that even among them, Yu Changsheng should be one of the top ones.

And they were saved by Yu Changsheng, so the cause and effect between them were already connected, not to mention the grace of saving their lives, which became the best reason.

No matter if it is in the name of repaying a favor, at least there is a causal relationship between the two. The life-saving grace is a burden to them, but also a bond in some ways. If it is managed well, it is possible to strengthen the connection between them and Yu Changsheng.

After a few visits, if Yu Changsheng doesn't mind, then in some cases, they will become Yu Changsheng's people. Following such an inner disciple can help them get along better in the outer sect, and it can also be considered a kind of umbrella of protection.

After all, to the outer disciples of Sea Beast Sky Island, there is a huge difference between any inner disciple and them. The inner disciples are the real disciples of the holy land.

Therefore, Shi Huishan and the other two behaved so respectfully, even with a hint of earnest flattery. The purpose was naturally self-evident.

Yu Changsheng saw through the little thoughts between the three people and just said lightly:

"It's nothing, just a piece of cake. I just wanted to kill Jiaolong and Han Chong. I didn't save you on purpose. I just wanted to go to Sea Beast Island together because we were all going there. You don't have to feel any burden to be grateful to me."

"In addition, you should be aware of what you saw on the island. Don't spread it around."

After Yu Changsheng finished speaking, Shi Huishan and the other two looked at each other, then smiled bitterly, nodded and replied:
"Of course. Whatever the island has heard, it will not reveal a single bit without Fellow Daoist Yu's order."

"Don't worry about this, Brother Yu. The three of us brothers will keep our mouths shut and there will be no mistakes."

Shi Huishan patted his chest and said confidently.

"That's good." Yu Changsheng nodded, not too worried about it.

What Yu Changsheng was talking about was naturally the affairs of the Wanxiang Sect. The transformation from Jiaolong Island to the Wanxiang Sect was something that Shi Huishan and the other two had personally experienced. Naturally, they knew everything about the identities of Yu Changsheng and the others.

Everyone probably understood that these people were not cultivators from the North Sea, and some details could not be concealed.

Although relocating the entire sect and practicing in a foreign land are not taboos in the North Sea, the Wanxiang Sect has just arrived and has not yet established a firm foothold, so it should be kept low-key.

"Fellow Daoist Yu is overthinking. Once you join the Sea Beast Island and become an inner sect disciple, then naturally no one in the entire Wanxiang Sect will dare to provoke you."

Shi Huishan lowered his eyebrows and laughed.

Yu Changsheng raised his eyebrows slightly, glanced at Shi Huishan, and said, "I went to Sea Beast Island for other things, not to join it and become an inner disciple. You are overthinking it."

"uh-huh?"

Shi Huishan was stunned and looked puzzled, but only for a moment, then he nodded respectfully.

"Then I wish you a smooth journey."

After saying this, a hint of regret flashed in the depths of Shi Huishan's eyes.

Yu Changsheng nodded slightly and looked at the endless sea. Occasionally, there would be wind and waves. In the vast ocean, a small boat would ride the wind and waves, sailing at an extremely fast speed, tearing through the sea breeze and waves.

Between the sea and the sky, there is a monotony. Although the sea is spectacular and shocking, if you look at it for a long time, you will feel bored and unsurprising. The waves roll day after day. The waves, year after year, along the way, with Yu Changsheng deliberately spreading his cultivation and the black tortoise's breath.

It was calm and peaceful, and there were no further attacks by sea beasts. Most of the sea beasts sensed the breath of the black turtle and fled away early, not daring to stop it.

In this way, after a month, many boats could be seen sporadically on the originally spacious sea, scattered across the surface of the sea, coming in an endless stream from all directions.

Some of these ships were extremely luxurious and radiant, while others were small and low-key. They were of different styles and shapes. The flags on them were of various shapes and fluttering in the wind, representing the various forces in the North Sea. Yu Changsheng didn't know much about these, so he didn't pay much attention to them.

As they got closer to the Sea Beast Island, more and more boats came from all directions, spreading out in a network-like pattern. These people all came for the Sea Beast Island's once-a-century disciple-recruiting conference.

Among them, most of them were the proud disciples of various forces. Normally, they were all famous geniuses, but here, they did not seem outstanding enough. The most abundant thing in the holy land was genius.

"It's really lively. There will be such a grand spectacle every hundred years. Otherwise, on ordinary days, you won't see so many major forces coming out together."

"After all, that is a holy land, a place that many people dream of entering. The resources contained there are far beyond what other forces can compare to."

On the deck of the spirit boat, Shi Huishan looked at the ships coming and going in the four directions of the sea, with a hint of envy in his eyes, and said in a low voice.

Yang Ling nodded, exhaled deeply, suppressed the shock in his heart, and cast his eyes towards the sea level beside him. His eyes suddenly fixed, and he said with emotion:

"Is that the spiritual boat of the Mo family from Qianji Island? I didn't expect that even people from the Mo family would come this time."

Upon hearing this, Yu Changsheng followed Yang Ling's gaze and saw a huge boat, hundreds of feet long, speeding across the waves in the sea not far away.

The huge ship made a sensation. The hull was made of some unknown stone, showing a dark yellow color, flashing with faint light, and looked indestructible. There were hundreds of holes on both sides of the hull, one of which was dark and full of precious light. The slender hull was like an arrow that pierced through the clouds and fog, sailing on the sea with great momentum, like a giant beast, causing the sea water to roll back in the roar.

Overall, the shape is like a Kun, with rows of sails fluttering in the wind and shaking violently, decorated with unknown gems, and a huge "Mo" character flying in a dancing manner. The boat is magnificent, and the antique buildings are carved with dragons and painted with phoenixes, surrounded by aura and shining with brilliance.

Including the deck, it is all made of pure stone and jade, which is extremely luxurious. There are layers of magic arrays covering the entire boat, making it hazy and blocking the detection of spiritual consciousness. The specific situation cannot be seen clearly from the outside. Only a large group of dark figures can be seen faintly at the edge of the boat, standing tall and motionless, guarding the safety of the giant boat.

A terrifying pressure also enveloped all directions.

The huge boat was moving, riding the waves, and immediately attracted many eyes to look at it, some in surprise, some in sighs, some in envy...

Obviously, all the people on this boat were of noble status, which caused exclamations from all directions.

"The people of the Mo family just don't know that this time it was the Mo family's genius disciple who came."

"The Mohist School has been silent for so long, but they can't sit still anymore? With their strength, they also choose to send their disciples to the Holy Land?"

"Yes, although the Mohist School has made great achievements in the field of mechanical puppets and has a great reputation, when it comes to cultivation strength and talent training, it is still far behind the Holy Land."

"It was just a voyage, but they actually brought out such a weapon of war. Is it necessary to attach so much importance to it... In this sea area, who would not think of going against them..."

.........

Everyone in all directions was shocked and talked a lot, and Yu Changsheng was also attracted to it. Looking at the giant boat, his eyes flickered slightly and he asked:

"Is this Mohist School famous in the North Sea?"

Shi Huishan exhaled lightly, changed his expression, became slightly more serious, nodded and answered softly, saying:

"Yes, the Mohist School is located on Qianji Island, which is extremely far away from here. Qianji Island is the residence of the Mohist School and is completely under the control of the Mohist School."

"Thousand Machine Island?"

Yu Changsheng murmured softly.

"Yes, Qianji Island. Just like the name of the island, the biggest feature of this island is its mastery of mechanical puppetry. Although the strength of the cultivators is good, they are not top-notch."

Shi Huishan nodded, pondered for a while, and then continued:
"And the Mohist family is an ancient world that is famous throughout the entire North Sea. This family inherits the ancient art of mechanical puppets. Even the Holy Land is inferior to the Mohist family in this respect. The Mohist family also uses this as the core to gain a foothold and control a hundred thousand miles of sea area. Moreover, due to its unique mechanical puppets, it has also collected a lot of money for it. After thousands of years of accumulation, the foundation it controls is unimaginable!"

"Although there are only two Void-Refining masters in the family, they probably have quite a few puppets with Void-Refining combat power thanks to their ingenious puppetry. That's why they have been able to stay stable on Qianji Island for so long over the years, embracing vast amounts of resources without falling. They are feared by all parties, but also sought after by all parties."

Shi Huishan paused as he spoke, swallowed his saliva, waved his hand, and said with a wry smile:
"After all, the energy contained in this kind of family with a history of ten thousand years is beyond the imagination of ordinary people, and the art of mechanical puppetry is needed by almost every force. Moreover, this art is rare. It can be passed down intact from ancient times to the present. It is rare to see it in the world except for the Mohist School."

"In addition, the other reason why all parties in the North Sea are so wary of the Mohist School and allow it to control such a vast sea area and resources is due to a rumor."

Shi Huishan's eyes were dim and his tone was a little uncertain.

"Huh? Tell me more."

Yu Changsheng's eyebrows jumped and he became interested.

Shi Huishan nodded, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Rumor has it that the Mohist School in the North Sea is just a branch. The real Mohist school is more ancient and powerful. It is not in the North Sea, but in other areas."

"Therefore, because the Mohist family's background is unpredictable, and the Mohist family has good relations with various forces, they have kept a low profile over the years. This is why they have been able to develop so steadily and even received special permission from the Holy Land to be exempted from corvée labor, which has made many forces jealous, but they have remained silent."

After Shi Huishan finished speaking, he patted his chest and a look of awe appeared on his face.

Yu Changsheng frowned slightly, thinking and digesting what Shi Huishan said secretly, with a hint of doubt on his face, he asked:

"What you just said, saving corvée labor... is this?"

"Don't you know, Fellow Daoist Yu?"

Shi Huishan was speechless, looking at Yu Changsheng in surprise, then he thought about it and understood, so he explained:

"You may not know, Fellow Daoist Yu, that the Sea Beast Island is a huge force with terrifying strength. The resources needed to maintain the operation of such a behemoth are naturally terrifying."

"Therefore, within the million-mile sea area controlled by the Sea Beast Sky Island, all forces must pay tribute to it once every thousand years. The resources paid as tribute vary according to the tonnage of each force." (End of this chapter)
