Immortal Path Evergreen

Zhang Zhixuan walked around Dafang Island, looked at the island that was changing with the day and night, and thought to himself: "The development of the island has reached a bottleneck now. Because of the limitation of the spiritual vein and the island area, the foundation of Dafang Island has been fixed. The top priority is to cultivate a fourth-level spiritual vein on the island and find new islands to breed more mortals."

But neither of these two is easy. Cultivating a fourth-level spiritual vein requires a large amount of spiritual stones. Even if the island has a good foundation and a third-level upper-grade spiritual vein, it only needs a fourth-level spirit gathering array plus 70,000 spiritual stones to do it.

Although Qingchan has formed a pill now, they are still in a difficult situation. When they came out of Qingli Sea, the three of them carried 250,000 spiritual stones, of which 150,000 came from the sect, mainly used to buy Xuankong Stone and build a teleportation array. This amount of spiritual stones cannot be used easily for the time being.

The remaining 100,000 spiritual stones were used to buy auxiliary spiritual medicines for refining foundation-building pills. With the three people's cultivation, there are only 60,000 left. Even if all of them are taken out, it is still not enough to cultivate spiritual veins.

Besides, there are three treasure ships on the island now, which is also a bottomless pit that consumes spiritual stones. We must reserve a little bit of family assets to avoid that the treasure ships have no spiritual stones to use.

Although it is difficult to cultivate spiritual veins, there are still traces to follow, and it will be successful after a period of development. Even if we grit our teeth now and let Jia Mengzhen and others share a little, it will be successful according to the financial resources of the island.

However, developing new islands can only rely entirely on luck. The Qingli Sea is vast and boundless. Except for the big islands, ordinary small islands are like a little wave in the vast ocean. It may take ten or twenty years to find them.

Every time the treasure ship goes out to sea, it must be guaranteed by spiritual stones. When a new island is found, it is still unknown how much investment will be required to fill this bottomless pit.

Building a force from scratch is more difficult than Zhang Zhixuan thought.

Qingchan and Hanyan are not on the island. One of the three treasure ships is on Crescent Island, and the other followed Qingchan to Xuanyang Island. The last one is still under repair. Therefore, Zhang Zhixuan followed the rules after coming out of retreat, and did not dare to leave Dafang Island easily, and stayed in the underground spiritual vein.

Zhang Zhixuan did not know that there was another enemy in the sea outside Dafang Island.

Speaking of which, this enemy was also a familiar face to Zhang Zhixuan. When the three of them had just teleported to Qingli Sea, this group of people invaded Dafang Island with treasure ships, but were repelled by Jia Mengzhen and others, and three foundation-building cultivators were killed in the battle.

Eight or nine years later, this group of people actually regrouped and came to the sea area of ​​Dafang Island again. This time they were more fully prepared.

"Fellow Daoist Wan, you are too timid. This time we dispatched two treasure ships with sixteen foundation-building cultivators on board, and also carried third-grade top-grade formation-breaking beads. We are fully confident of winning. Why waste time here?

You have been scouting around the island for six days, but you still have nothing to show for it? I have already told you that there are only seven foundation-building cultivators on the island. Why don't you believe it?"

Wan Wenhe is very cautious, even prudent. Although this cautious character made him miss some opportunities, it also avoided many risks and successfully cultivated to the ninth level of foundation-building.

Wan Wenhe and others came from Huangsha Island, which is an archipelago consisting of more than a dozen large and small islands. These islands are very close to each other, with the shortest being only a dozen miles and the longest not exceeding three hundred miles.

Huangsha Island was also a deserted island hundreds of years ago, and there was no one on the island. However, compared with Dafang Island, Huangsha Island is larger in area, and there is also a red flame sand mine on the island, which has relatively better conditions.

After hundreds of years of development, more than 100,000 mortals have been bred on the Huangsha Islands, and there are even more than ten foundation-building cultivators.

Huangsha Island does not prohibit foreign cultivators from joining. This open attitude is also one of the reasons why they have been able to grow and develop over the past few hundred years.

Like Dafang Island, Huangsha Island is also ruled by a family alliance, and power is not concentrated. Because a large amount of foreign blood has been absorbed over the past few hundred years, there are 46 families on the island. These families have intermarried for hundreds of years, and the relationship between you and me is complicated. Without the cultivation of the Purple Mansion period, it is impossible to convince everyone and listen to one person.

However, although Huangsha Island is larger in area, a large part of it is desert, which is not suitable for cultivating fertile land, so their development has been stagnant over the years.

In order to continue to develop, Huangsha Island has been preparing to expand and extend its power to the nearby sea area since decades ago.

If you want to expand out, you must rely on treasure ships.

After decades of frugality, Huangsha Island not only accumulated a third-grade upper-grade treasure ship, but also built two third-grade lower-grade treasure ships. By chance, they even got some treasure ship construction drawings.

If Zhang Zhixuan and the other two had not been teleported to this sea area, the nearby islands would not be able to stop the gradual invasion of Huangsha Island, and Dafang Island would also have a high probability of falling into the hands of the monks of Huangsha Island.

Wan Wenhe said: "Friend Han, it was because of your recklessness that you suffered losses and died last time. According to the information you said, the information on the island has changed a lot, especially this large port, which did not exist nine years ago. Since such a large-scale port has been built, it means that there are treasure ships on the island. Your previous opponent may have been defeated, and the owner of this island has changed.

Since the enemy situation is unclear, it is natural to investigate for a period of time. I think we should be cautious. Don't be reckless and impulsive without absolute certainty."

The treasure ship that invaded Dafang Island last time was not from Huangsha Island. Han Shaohong and others came from Bailu Island, which was farther away from Dafang Island than Huangsha Island. Han Shaohong and others discovered Dafang Island by accident and attacked rashly without much preparation. As a result, they were defeated by the monks on the island. Although they saved the treasure ship and successfully retreated, they suffered heavy losses.

After this battle, Han Shaohong and others did not develop smoothly. During a sea voyage, their home nest was destroyed. Bailu Island also fell into the hands of outsiders. The monks who stayed behind were also killed by the enemy, and their treasure ship immediately became homeless.

Four years ago, Han Shaohong and others joined Huangsha Island. They had a third-level medium-quality treasure ship and five foundation-building monks. After joining Huangsha Island, they were already a very important force on Huangsha Island, almost second only to Wan Wenhe.

After Han Shaohong and others joined, they quickly gained a foothold on Huangsha Island. They contributed the coordinates of Dafang Island and began to prepare for the expedition before the New Year.

But after they arrived near Dafang Island, Wan Wenhe discovered through the telescope that the situation on Dafang Island was different from the information brought by Han Shaohong and others. He was a cautious person, and he immediately backed down and decided to wait and see.
