Beginning to practice immortality as a refugee

Chapter 451 Agreement
Qi, Shen and Wan and the other two did not dare to object, so the island naturally became Lu's.

Anyway, this has always been the rule in the East China Sea. It’s a deserted island, so naturally whoever robs it will own it.

If a spiritual vein is discovered on the island, one needs to pay a gift to the nearest fist-sized one, just as a formality.

Unless one encounters a mean lord, or the spiritual veins on the island are of high level, the person who possesses it will not be able to keep it.

Generally there won't be any problems.

The fight for island ownership here is so simple and plain, it all depends on the size of your fist.

Lu Ye is a golden elixir, so he is undoubtedly the island master.

Qi Yue'er, Shen Shujian and Wan Huohulu now only have a headache.

When this passerby finds out that there is no spiritual vein on this deserted island, will he take the opportunity to expand and swallow up the three families and rob them of their foundation?

They had something on their minds and looked worried.

The next moment, when they heard Lu Ye’s words, everyone wanted to slap themselves a few more times.

"The Great Central Continent was in turmoil, so we migrated here."

"When I got here, I just thought the scenery was beautiful. The magic lights from the battle between the three of you below startled me."

"As soon as I saw this island, I felt that it was destined for me, so I chose this place as my home!"

"Come to think of it, I have to thank the three of you, hahahaha!"

Qi Shenwan and the other two just wanted to cry.

Thanks to whoever wants to go, we were just too picky and couldn't fight well any other day, but we had to fight today and provoke the fierce dragon from across the river.

Qi Yue'er took a quick glance and saw that people were continuously coming out of the boat behind Lu Ye.

Among them, there were only two foundation-building cultivators and about a hundred Qi-refining cultivators, and the rest were mortals who were not good at practicing.

It seems that what Patriarch Lu said is true. This person, who brought his family with him, is obviously an outsider.

She bowed boldly.

“Junior has something to say,” she continued after seeing Lu Ye nod, “I dare not deceive Senior Lu. This deserted island… no, although Zhongxiang Island has many advantages, this island has no spiritual veins!”

"It's fine if it's used to settle ordinary people, but it's no longer useful for the daily practice of monks."

"Well, seriously?" Lu Ye raised his eyebrows in puzzlement.

Shen Shujian and Wan Huohu hurriedly agreed that what Qi Yue'er said was true.

Everyone had the same idea in their mind: let this dragon crossing the river fight for those big islands, the farther away from them the better.

Lu Ye laughed and said, "It's okay. Since this island is destined to be with me, I will explore it carefully. Let my subordinates stay here for a few days and then make plans."

In the future, it may not be the main island, but a branch island for settling the people.

Seeing his firm attitude, the three of them frowned with worry.

I don’t know whether it is a blessing or a curse to encounter such a huge monster.

Lu Ye made a casual move and three foundation-building artifacts flew out from his storage ring, namely a sword, a gun, and a fire fan, which he gave to the three people.

It's difficult for him. After achieving the Golden Elixir, he rarely carries spiritual weapons of the foundation-building level in his storage ring.

Fortunately, I was able to make preparations early after observing it through a telescope from the sky.

"Since you three are neighbors, you should be harmonious."

"I saw that you guys were fighting fiercely before, and your spirit weapons were damaged."

"These spiritual weapons are gifts for you."

"This is my disciple Wu Tong..." Lu Ye pointed at Lan Wu Tong, "From now on, all matters will be handled with him."

"With so many mortals taking root here, the seeds, oxen, mules, materials, boats, etc. needed will be exchanged with you three families at market prices."

"Tomorrow, let Wu Tong set aside an area at a convenient location at the port as a workshop market, and you three can open shops here."

"If there is a spiritual vein on this island, I have a lot of immortal cultivation resources here. I am willing to set up a market and provide them to fellow immortal cultivators in the surrounding area for fair exchange."

After hearing about the damage to the spiritual weapons, the three people complained in their hearts, "Didn't you deliberately damage our spiritual weapons?"
When they each obtained a foundation-building treasure, they were overjoyed to find that it not only perfectly matched their own spiritual root attributes, but was also more convenient to use than the previous spiritual weapons.

Can I still hug the thigh of this Jindan Patriarch?

In addition, the old ancestor promised that the three families would have a place in the market on the island, where they could open shops and exchange what they had with each other, which would also be a profitable business.

It's a pity... several families have explored this deserted island countless times, and there is no spiritual vein at all. This market is probably a reflection in the mirror, and we can only watch it.

Wan Huohulu was the oldest and asked with a quick glance.

"Excuse me, Senior Lu, do you offer Golden Elixir techniques and spiritual tools for sale or exchange?"

He didn't expect the market town to open at all. Without spiritual veins, which immortal cultivation force would open a market town?
The light protection magic shield is a money-eating beast. It relies on spirit stones for its daily supply, which is not a long-term solution.

He was an old and experienced man, so he took the opportunity to spy on the background of this strange Jindan ancestor from Dazhongzhou to find out his backers.

Qi Yue'er and Shen Shujian had not thought so far and were shocked, thinking that Old Wan was really going to be finished.

How could Senior Lu sell something that would shake his foundation?

"Hahaha..." Lu Ye laughed out loud. The other party was testing his bottom line to see how confident he was.

"All of them can be sold! But you have to be able to pay the price!"

Qi Shenwan and the other two were shocked. Since the other party even dared to sell Jindan-level resources, there could be a Yuanying-level real person standing behind him, right?

The three of them gave up completely. From then on, the deserted island had nothing to do with the three families anymore and it became Nakago Island.

They pondered in their hearts how to be good neighbors - fortunately, there were no spiritual veins on Zhongxiang Island, and this powerful man would definitely choose another place to go after leaving the people behind.

Just endure this period of time.

They can still provide the materials needed for the common people to settle down, which can be considered as a good relationship. Who knows, there may be a time in the future when they will need help from this old ancestor.

Seeing that the three people had different expressions, Lu Ye didn't want to play around with them anymore and just sent them away.

He showed up to intimidate people, negotiated prices, gave some good stuff and then some sweet dates, and let his subordinates handle the rest.

"Okay, I'm tired, everyone should get ready."

"Wu Tong, I can't lift it. You guys can see off the three family heads!"

"From now on, I will look for Wu Tong for matters concerning cultivation, and I will not look for him for matters concerning the mortal world. Their opinions are my opinions."

Lan Wutong and Fan Buju responded hurriedly. They were in charge of all the trivial matters and had to coordinate with the three people for all the supplies.

Qi Shenwan and the other two bowed hastily, holding the three treasures, and left with Lan Wutong and Fan Buju in a confused state of mind.

Until the three disappeared.

Gui Baozhu came over and said with conviction.

"Brother, you are a very nice person."

"I misunderstood you. Your mediation has been very effective. You have persuaded three companies to do business with us."

"It's much better than me knocking it over with one blow."

Wang Hu laughed.

"Old Five, you don't understand Big Brother."

"Those three companies won't lose money, but our eldest brother will definitely not lose money."

"Don't think that the three families have obtained the foundation-building treasures. In the end, I'm afraid that even the entire family will have to pay for it."

Lu Ye smiled without saying anything. He turned his head to look at the densely packed crowds of people rushing down from the boat.

Many of the mortals arrived on the deserted island and looked confused when faced with the wasteland. Although they were mentally prepared, wasn’t this place too desolate?
Although the building ship can carry a lot of things, most of the space is taken up by people and food. It is impossible to carry all the production materials. At most, some gold and silver jewelry can be taken.

On a deserted island, if you have to make all the supplies yourself from scratch, it will take a long time to settle thousands of people.

It just so happens that purchasing from the three surrounding foundation-building family islands is the most economical and time-saving way. Although they are hundreds of miles away, the sea is the thoroughfare, and there are cultivators who use their magic power to propel boats back and forth, so large-scale supply is not as far away as imagined.

In addition, since we have chosen this as our main island, we will take root here.

The three small islands around are barriers. We don’t need to truly control them. At least they should be friends rather than enemies, and can also serve as early warning.

There are many monks on the three islands, which is much better than cultivating them painstakingly and starting from scratch.

If Nakago Island becomes bigger and stronger in the future, maybe it can win people over with virtue and the three families will naturally submit to it?
Lu Ye appointed Pan Furong, Wang Hu, Zhang Cunyi, Shu Chitu, Zhang Biao and several elders of the Lan family to be responsible for arranging temporary camping, food and lodging for everyone.

He waved at Gui Baozhu.

"Fifth brother, let's go and take a look at the formation that hides the spiritual vein."

The two flew up into the sky and first observed the topography of the entire Zhongxiang Island.

Before, when I was on the ship, due to the angle, the view was a little distorted.

Now look vertically down from a low altitude.

The terrain on all four sides of the island is flat, with a few dozen feet high and short hills rising abruptly in the middle, like a straw hat on the sea. There is a large area on the island for people to live and reproduce.

Seen from the air, the topography of the island, to be precise, does not look like a mouse or a turtle. Instead, it looks more like an apple without a handle on top. The apple seems to have been split almost in the middle by nature, and the "knife mark" runs in a straight line into the center of the fruit, stopping at the core peak of the island.

This "knife mark" is a natural waterway that runs from the open sea directly to the foot of the core mountain on the island. The inner mouth is as narrow as about ten feet, and the outer mouth is nearly five or six feet wide. It is about several miles long. If you look closely, you can see that the cliffs on both sides are flat.

It is not known whether this terrain was formed by years of erosion by sea water, or by a fight between two powerful men long ago.

This waterway reaches the foot of the mountain, and above it are cliffs dozens of feet high. It is impossible for a mortal to climb up through the waterway.

Just now, Qi Shenshu and the other two were kicked away by Lu Ye on the top of the mountain, and fell into the waterway, getting soaked like drowned rats.

If you build a building on the mountains, you can face the sea directly and listen to the ebb and flow of the tide.

Gui Baozhu accompanied Lu Ye in spinning several circles in the air.

"Brother, why not give this mountain a name?"

Lu Ye did not hesitate.

"Just call me Nakagomine."

Gui Baozhu: “…”

Well, it was unnecessary for me to ask this question. The two flew down from the sky and arrived at the top of Zhongxiang Peak. When Lu Ye came here, he kicked it roughly, and half of the mountaintop collapsed. Of course, the mountain as a whole was still intact.

"Follow me in..."

The two used earth escape magic to drill into the mountains and go all the way down.

According to the distance calculation, the two had reached the bottom of the mountain, but there was still no trace of spiritual energy.

In the past, the ancestors of the three families of Shen, Qi and Wan relied on earth escape talismans to sneak here, but when they did not find any spiritual veins, they believed that this was a deserted island and did not continue exploring.

They never expected it.

Madam Jiuchai had been here long before they explored and had set up a formation to block the spiritual vein.

After all, it is easy for a Nascent Soul cultivator to live for a thousand years and make arrangements in advance to play with the three foundation-building families that have settled in the surrounding area for hundreds of years.

"right here!"

Lu Ye looked around according to Madam Jiuchai's memory and made sure he was in the right place.

The magic power in his dantian circulated, his spiritual awareness surged, and a thunder ball condensed in his hand, which suddenly slammed into the ground.

Boom!

The thunder ball burst forward and hit the rocks.

The dark rock did not collapse when it encountered external force, but suddenly it lit up. In the blink of an eye, the rocks within a dozen feet nearby were flashing white light, showing a complex formation.

This is the large soul-locking formation set up by Madam Jiuchai.

Lu Ye quickly made finger seals with both hands, and one after another magic formula was injected into the key points of each array gate.

Boom!

Soon, a hole the size of a basin appeared in the center of the formation.

Swish!
The blocked spiritual energy inside rushed up with a roar.

Spiritual energy is originally invisible and intangible, but the ground veins here have been sealed for a long time. The spiritual energy that just rushed out was mixed with the evil spirits of the earth, and was light black in color, pouring out like a column of smoke.

Fortunately, there are mountains above to block the spiritual energy, so it quickly spreads into the cracks in the rocks. It will take an estimated half a month to break through the mountains, dissipate into the air, and change the spiritual environment of the entire island.

Gui Baozhu took a deep breath of spiritual energy and said in surprise.

"Second level... No, the spiritual energy concentration is still rising, third level spiritual vein!"

"Although the level of this spiritual vein is not as good as that in the Mozhu Secret Realm, it is enough for us to practice."

Lu Ye nodded with satisfaction. As long as it was proven that Madam Jiuchai's memory was correct, he would be satisfied.

If there is no spiritual vein on Zhongxiang Island, then we can only settle down on the Yanli Island of Taoist Miyan.

"Let's go up first!"

The two of them used the earth escape technique and came out from Zhongxiang Peak again.

"Brother, how is it?" Wang Hu, Zhang Cunyi, Shu Chitu and others who had temporarily settled several thousand people hurriedly surrounded him.

Lu Ye nodded and smiled.

"We have found the spiritual vein. From now on, this place will be our home!"

The three of them cheered immediately.

After wandering for half a lifetime, they finally have a place of their own to cultivate immortality!
Soon, the news reached Lan Wutong and Elder Tiegong, and more than a hundred cultivators also cheered.

If you have spiritual veins, you can practice.

With a spiritual vein, you have roots.

Lu Ye gave everyone a few instructions and then returned to the ship.

Although the nearby Bilangjun is said to be easy to deal with, we still have to be on guard.

In addition, the East China Sea is vast and robbery cultivation is prevalent, so you never know if a passing Yuanying will come to grab a piece of the pie.

He needs to refine a Hunyuan Thorn as soon as possible. The Jingjue Light can deal with Jindan cultivators, but it is not enough to deal with Yuanying.

Lu Ye went to practice, and Gui Baozhu was responsible for guarding the island. He had to fly all over the island, carefully survey the terrain, and mark the local resources that were useful to mortals, or dangerous environments, wild beasts, etc. on the sand table.

Pan Furong, Lan Wutong, Wang Hu, Zhang Cunyi, Shu Chitu, several elders of the Lan family and Fan Buju were all busy according to their previous plans.

There were arrangements for mortals to form groups and set up temporary camps.

There were monks assigned to help settle the mortal people, or gather energy to form water to provide drinking water, or turn mud into stone to level the land, or remove poisonous obstacles and kill wild beasts.

There were also monks sent to explore suitable harbors and confirm the location of the market town mentioned by Lu Ye.

Thousands of people were arranged in an orderly manner, each doing their own job and busying themselves.

The next day.

Lu Ye opened his eyes from his meditation and rang the jade bell.

Soon, several beams of light flew up from the ground.

The hatch opens.

Gui Baozhu came in with a sand table magic tool about ten feet long. He placed it on the ground and input his magic power. Immediately, the terrain of the island and mountains appeared, with a few red dots marked on it.

This was discovered through collaboration between him and several of his sworn brothers.

Lan Wu first held the whip and reported that the vegetation on this deserted island was sparse, but the land was not barren. In the future, if spiritual veins changed the environment, the vegetation would naturally recover and grow lushly.

The terrain is flat and there is a small stream running through the island, so it is easy to accommodate several thousand people. Even if the population increases several times or ten times in the future, it will not be a problem.

A suitable harbor was found on the east side of the island, and preparations were made to open a market town. However, the town would be divided into two areas, north and south. One would be dedicated to the supply of materials for mortals, and the other would be for cultivators to buy and sell resources.

Next up is Shu Chi Tu.

He said that after underground exploration, he had found that there was an iron ore vein of low purity on the island that could be used by mortals.

Wang Hu said that Zhongxiang Peak had the most abundant spiritual energy, so he planned to flatten the top of the mountain and build a building on it for cultivators to live in.

Fan Buju mentioned that several thousand mortals were prepared to guard the southeast and west directions and build three small towns, each of which was twenty to thirty miles away from Zhongxiang Peak, in order to leave space for future population growth.

On the north side of Nakago Peak is a cliff waterway that leads directly to the open sea and cannot be used.

The few of them talked for about a quarter of an hour.

Lu Ye listened casually.

If there were no immortal cultivators, the vegetation here would be barren and not suitable for the initial survival of thousands of mortals. But with the help of immortal cultivators, these are not a problem.

"Okay!" He finally nodded and said, "Everyone, let's prepare like this!"

At this time, Zhang Biao ran in from outside.

"Uncle," he said excitedly, "three Dharma ships a hundred feet long came from the sea, flying the flags of the three families of Shen, Wan, and Qi respectively."

"I saw cattle and sheep on the boat, as well as a lot of farm tools and materials. They came as promised."

Lu Ye turned and looked at Lan Wutong and Fan Buju.

"Go."

"We have plenty of gold, silver and spirit stones. Just be careful with yourself. We can't let them lose money, nor can we be taken advantage of."

Lan Wutong laughed.

"Grandmaster, those three families would not dare to make any move against Tai Sui even if they had the guts to do so!"

Lu Ye instructed again.

"In the next few days I will set up a formation to cover up some of the spiritual veins on the island."

"All the monks are under your command. Just ask them to settle the people as soon as possible."

"They left their homes and careers behind to follow us across thousands of miles. We can't let them down."

"Of course, since all the monks have lost time for their cultivation, the monthly allowance will be doubled as a reward."

He knew that some monks had practiced to the point where they hated to sleep, and asking them to help mortals might be a humiliation for them.

At this time, it would be best to smash the spirit stones, since there are so many kind-hearted people helping out.

Required for about a hundred Qi-cultivating monks and two foundation-building monks.

It’s impossible to smash it all. It’s impossible to smash it all.

Lan Wutong was overjoyed. With spirit stones, what problem could not be solved?

Everyone in the cabin dispersed immediately. Each of them was assigned a lot of tasks and was extremely busy.

-

On the beach on the east side of the island, after a night of work by the monks of the Lan family, a simple wooden pier had been built.

A few dozen feet away on the sea, three large ships were lined up in a row.

Now that Huangdao was named Lu, the conflicts among the three families no longer existed. However, the hatred was long-standing, and the children of each other still glared at each other.

Qi Yue'er, Shen Shujian and Wan Huohulu flew into the air and waited quietly.

"Even the dock has been repaired. It seems that they are really going to stay here for a long time." Qi Yue'er frowned. This island was lost in her hands. She felt more uncomfortable than the other two families.

Shen Shujian couldn't let go of the magic spear he got yesterday.

"What's wrong with staying here longer? The supplies needed by several thousand people are enough for the people under our rule to make a small fortune."

"It's a pity that this is a deserted island. If there really is a spiritual vein and the market is open, we can benefit from it!"

Wan Huohu sneered.

"Huh, how is that possible?"

"If there is spiritual energy, our three ancestors... eh?"

At this moment, a sea breeze blew, and a trace of doubt flashed across his face.
