Staying in the sect, controlling beasts and cultivating immortals

Although the night-blooming cereus is beautiful, it only lasts for one night. If it is forced to break by external force, its beauty will only last for a moment.

Just like the purple Epiphyllum in Wang Donghai's hand at this moment, with just a light touch of his finger, the petals flew away, and the beauty was gone.

"Being too stunning is not necessarily a good thing."

Wang Donghai lowered his eyebrows, looked at the petals of the Epiphyllum in the palm of his hand, muttered softly to himself, and his eyes returned to calm and indifferent again.

"The position of the Holy Son has not yet been decided. If we allow such a genius to enter our Beast Taming Sect, it will create a powerful enemy for Bo'er out of thin air, but the gains will not outweigh the losses. For such a genius, I can only wrong you and assign you to another place first to avoid unnecessary trouble."

"Besides, Shanghai Beast Island is not a place you can come to just because you want to."

As night falls, the setting sun withdraws its last ray of afterglow. After a brief period of darkness, the sky full of stars comes to light, bit by bit, illuminating the entire night sky and the dome. The bright moon is like a huge silver plate, hanging high in the deep night sky, casting a cool and holy light.

Under the reflection of the bright moon, the sea presents a sparkling scene. The undulating sea surface seems to be inlaid with countless bright pearls, flashing a mysterious and charming light. The waves surge, raising layers of white foam, and each wave is plated with a layer of silver by the moonlight, like a dream.

The suspended sea beast island of Sky Island appears and disappears in the light, like a fairyland in mythology.

The island is surrounded by a hazy aura, with colorful rays of light flowing through it. The mountains on the island are steep and tall, outlining a clear and majestic outline under the moonlight. The waterfalls and springs in the mountains pour down like the Milky Way, splashing water and turning into tiny silver flakes in the moonlight.

The ancient trees on the island are towering, with intertwined branches and leaves. The moonlight shines through the gaps between the leaves, casting mottled light and shadows on the ground. In the bushes, strange spiritual flowers bloom, exuding charming fragrance, attracting flying spiritual butterflies. The entire floating island is like a sleeping fairy palace, quiet and full of endless vitality and mystery.

Yu Changsheng and the other two silently descended the mountain where Wang Donghai was, and looked around silently at the foot of the mountain. The surrounding spiritual energy was surging like fog, and under the shining starlight, it also had hazy shapes. Looking from Shanghai Beast Sky Island, perhaps because of the distance, the moon and stars were much brighter and clearer.

Not far away, the peaks rose up to the sky, piercing the clouds, standing silently, bathed in the moonlight and starlight, as if covered with a layer of gauze, even more sacred, and the fairy palace temples on top stood majestically, magnificent. The walls of the palace were engraved with ancient runes and mysterious patterns, shining with strange light, like a pair of eyes under the sky, looking down at Yu Changsheng and the others, as if silently mocking them.

“Really a great place.”

Old Wei spoke softly, but he also laughed, with a hint of self-mockery in his expression.

Yu Changsheng remained silent, neither nodding nor shaking his head. He just turned to Chen Wencai beside him, clasped his fists lightly, bowed his hands respectfully, and said with a grateful look:
"I am sorry to have troubled Uncle Chen along the way. I have achieved my ultimate goal. Thank you Uncle Chen. I will always remember your kindness."

Chen Wencai touched his nose with a complicated expression, sighed softly, his eyes dimmed slightly, and said awkwardly with a wry smile:
"It's also my fault that I didn't think it through. Some of my previous plans have fallen through. But Brother Wei and Changsheng, don't think too much. I will manage it well these days and try to get you back to Shanghai Beast Island as soon as possible."

"Okay, actually it's pretty good now, Brother Chen, don't think too much." Elder Wei laughed, "The deacon elder of Xiahai Beast Sky Island has a lot of free time, a higher status than a disciple, and certain rights, and is not very restricted. I really think this arrangement is good."

Chen Wencai heaved a long breath, shook his head and said, "You don't care, but I feel sorry for Changsheng... The third elder obviously wanted to send Changsheng away on purpose..."

"It's fine."

Yu Changsheng waved his hand and shrugged his shoulders, not caring about it. He turned around and admired the night view of Shanghai Beast Sky Island, marveling at it and sighing:
"If nothing else, the scenery on this island in the sky is different from that on the sea. It is more magnificent."

Seeing this, Chen Wencai smiled helplessly, and a gleam of brilliance flashed in the depths of his eyes.

.........

.........

After staying in the Shanghai Beast Island for one night, Yu Changsheng and Wei Lao left the island. After registering at the corresponding deacon hall of the Lower Sea Beast Island, they left the Lower Sea Beast Island in accordance with their job requirements.

Above the vast ocean, a spiritual boat about ten feet wide was speeding on the sea, riding the wind and waves and moving forward at a very fast speed.

The spirit boat is not big. It is made entirely of some kind of jade material. It floats on the sea water, steady and solid as a rock. Its surface appears translucent. When the sunlight shines on it and is refracted, the entire spirit boat looks bright and shining like a piece of fluorite sailing on the sea.

There were strange patterns engraved on the hull of the boat, forming a special formation. The formation rose and enveloped the entire spirit boat, isolating it from the outside strong winds and the detection of spiritual consciousness.

The entire spirit boat was not big, but it was quite dazzling. When it was sailing on the sea, wherever it passed, all the merchant ships around it would look at it with a sidelong glance and dare not neglect it. Even some of the pirates were silent and did not dare to provoke it.

This is because on the top of the spirit boat, there is also a flag made of jade, floating quietly. The flag is pure white, with blue and red colors engraved on it to form a pattern of a dragon whale that reaches the sky.

This is the unique flag of the Sea Beast Island. Outsiders cannot and dare not weave it. The appearance of the entire spirit boat is the common standard spirit boat of the Sea Beast Island, which is extremely iconic.

The person who can own such a spirit boat must be at least an inner disciple of the Sea Beast Island, and ordinary inner disciples cannot own one.

Therefore, even though this spirit boat is not big and cannot be said to be very precious, not many people can ignore or underestimate it, because the Sea Beast Island is the absolute monarch in this million-mile sea area, and the inner disciples or above in the Sea Beast Island are people they need to curry favor with.

Therefore, when this group of spirit boats were sailing on the sea, all the passing merchant ships looked sideways, and respectfully made way for it silently. Surprised and doubtful glances were cast over and fell on the spirit boat. Although there was a thin layer of formation between them, no one was able to use their spiritual sense to break through the restrictions and explore inside.

Most of them were in awe and talking about it.

"The commanding spirit boat of Shanghai Beast Sky Island is not very common..."

"I don't know who the big shot is. Apart from a few inner disciples, the ones who are qualified to own this spirit boat are at least elders of Shanghai Beast Sky Island..."

“Whether it is the inner sect disciples or the inner sect elders in the Sea Beast Island, they are not people we can afford to offend. It would be great if we could get to know the people on this boat… If the one sitting among them is an inner sect elder of the holy land, and he appreciates me, I might even have a chance to be directly recommended as an inner sect disciple…”

"It's really enviable..."

The cultivators had different expressions and were talking about it. They were surrounded by envious and complicated looks until the spirit boat went far away. The Sea Beast Sky Island was the absolute overlord in this sea area.

At this time, the person that the cultivators were discussing was lying on a rocking chair on the deck of the spirit boat, enjoying the sea breeze and the sunshine with a comfortable look on his face.

Yu Changsheng and Old Wei chose to ignore the obscure gazes from outside the spirit boat.

The sun was shining brightly, and as he walked on the waves, a breeze blew gently, blowing up a leaf of Yu Changsheng's bangs. Yu Changsheng laughed, squinted his eyes slightly, stretched out his palms to help the light above his head, and said with a smile:
"This spiritual boat Uncle Chen gave me is really useful. Along the way, all the ships automatically detoured when they saw us, without us having to tell them to do so. Even some sea beasts in the deep sea naturally avoided us, allowing us to go straight through some risky sea areas that were not recommended to be passed. This saved us a lot of trouble."

The spirit boat naturally did not belong to Old Wei and Yu Changsheng, but was given to them by Chen Wencai before they left.

This actually brought considerable convenience to Yu Changsheng and the other person, which they had not expected.

Upon hearing this, Mr. Wei nodded slightly, stroked his beard and smiled:

"Of course. The name of Sea Beast Island is still very intimidating in the sea area they rule. Most of the sea beasts here have become intelligent. They are aware of the huge Sea Beast Island and will not be stupid enough to provoke it."

"Uncle Chen is thoughtful."

Yu Changsheng spoke with emotion.

Elder Wei smiled, raised his eyebrows slightly, glanced at Yu Changsheng, shook his head for a while, sighed softly, and spoke in a low voice: "Yes, I have troubled Wencai a lot. It's a pity that some accidents happened and I couldn't let you stay on Shanghai Beast Sky Island to practice. That is the most suitable place for you, not like this..."

Mr. Wei paused and didn't finish his words, but his eyes were a little dark.

Yu Changsheng laughed and waved his hands gently, his tone relaxed: "Master, what are you talking about? What's a pity? The environment there is good, but it's not so bad that I won't leave."

"On the contrary, if I were really in that kind of environment, I might still feel a little uncomfortable."

Elder Wei had a complicated expression. He looked up at Yu Changsheng, patted Yu Changsheng's hand, and spoke in a low voice:
"It's useless to think about these things now. Since the Third Elder has made such arrangements, we have all agreed. If we don't go to take up the post, it will be a real slap in the face of the Third Elder. We don't care. At most, we can just leave. But it will embarrass your Uncle Chen..."

"So, for the time being, let's just follow his arrangement and become the deacon elders of the outer sect. As for what happens next, we'll just have to take it one step at a time. It's a pity, I wanted you to grow up faster on Shanghai Beast Island, the resources and environment there..."

Old Wei sighed softly, looking helpless.

Yu Changsheng pursed his lips and exhaled gently. His expression was normal and smiling, without the slightest loss. He replied, "It's okay. With your disciple's talent, it doesn't matter where he is. He will not be buried. He is gold and will shine everywhere."

Yu Changsheng laughed, with a hint of complacency in his tone.

Elder Wei was stunned, looked at Yu Changsheng with amusement, shook his head to suppress other thoughts in his mind, and laughed in agreement:

"You are right. My beloved disciples are naturally not bound by a region or a place, a sect or a school. They should have this mentality. Since the Third Elder intends to send us away, we can't refuse. Just agree to his request. It's no big deal."

"Of course. If I am not welcome here, I will find other places that will welcome me." Yu Changsheng said with a chuckle.

"Besides, we should also thank the Third Elder. No matter what, we didn't lose anything. Now we have the status of the Outer Sect Elder of Sea Beast Sky Island, which is enough to raise a big banner. We can also get a considerable allowance every year, which is already very good."

"Haha, it's best that you think so, and it's true."

Old Wei looked at Yu Changsheng in surprise and laughed.

"Who cares? No matter what the Third Elder thinks, we can only go along with him, so as to avoid making things difficult for Uncle Chen."

Yu Changsheng curled his lips and muttered, his tone full of indifference.

“But then again, the three elders have really taken great pains to send us to a place so far away from the Sea Beast Island…”

Old Wei sighed, swallowed his saliva silently, and laughed: "But it's good, it's just what I want. The emperor is far away, and the farther away, the less likely he is to interfere with what we do."

"Hehe, guarding the spiritual mine is a job that brings in a lot of profit. It's quite interesting." Yu Changsheng raised his eyebrows slightly, licked his lips with interest, and continued:

"As for the distance, let's go a little further. Anyway, Sea Beast Sky Island is not a place for us to stay. Since it is a spiritual mining island, the environment and spiritual energy there will not be bad, and it is also suitable for cultivation. Let's take a boat to cross slowly. There is no rush."

"Ah."

Old Wei snorted, which was considered as approval.

The positions assigned to the two by the Third Elder were not complicated and were also quite leisurely. They simply had to guard a spiritual mining island directly under the jurisdiction of the Sea Beast Sky Island.

The spiritual mine is used to produce spiritual stones. The spiritual stones produced by the spiritual mine island, which is directly governed by the Sea Beast Island, cannot be bad. Most of them are high-quality and top-quality spiritual stones. It is considered a popular job in the Sea Beast Island.

Apart from this, the only thing worth criticizing is the distance of this Lingkuang Island. It is more than 50,000 miles away from the Sea Beast Sky Island, which is really far away.

It is not known whether the Third Elder arranged the two people here intentionally or by coincidence.

Or the purpose is very obvious, which is to deliberately send Yu Changsheng away and away from the Sea Beast Island.

And Wei Lao and Yu Changsheng were also happy with this. (End of this chapter)
