"Hey, because...because Master Hexian is on the island, we must provide him with our spiritual herbs and spiritual stones every year," Shen Chun said with a sigh.
"And every year, several sixteen-year-old girls are provided to him as concubines, but... they all die suddenly!"
"You farted, and you died suddenly. I think it's probably the old bastard who finished harvesting the stuff, so he just killed him!" Nopo 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, they asked what monsters were threatening nearby, what exotic treasures were produced, etc., and then asked where the spiritual veins were.
Fang Yang and the others then planned to open a cave.
Upon seeing this, Shen Chun immediately asked: "Island owner, I don't know how much annual tribute you have approved? We can pay it on time."
"Sui Gong?" 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 corvee every year, asking young adults to go to the spiritual stone mines to dig for spiritual stones, and at the same time, special people are asked to collect spiritual 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 discovered that when they heard the mine, they were all silent.
Several other women shed tears silently.
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 owner, island owner, I...did I hear it correctly? Ten spiritual stones and ten spiritual grasses every year?"
Chen Chun opened his eyes wide and couldn't believe this was true.
"You heard it right, ten spiritual stones and ten spiritual grasses every year!" Fang Yang said with a smile.
Then he and Nopo flew to the mountain with spiritual veins.
Fang Yang collected ten spirit stones.
He only takes it as a symbol, and does 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's flying figures 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 owner of the island! 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 is what Brother He said?"
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 are a few simple furnishings inside, but the alchemy room is also messy, and there is a smell of burning, which is naturally caused by the failure of Taoist He in refining the 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 cursed.
"Don't worry, I still have its storage bag here!"
Fang Yang opened Taoist He's storage bag and saw that a 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 materials for refining weapons, spiritual herbs for alchemy, and even a sixth-level high-grade spiritual grass "Crimson Kong Xianxi Flower" in the storage bag.
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 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 teleported to a place one or two miles away in an instant.
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.
However, this talisman was only refined by Jindan monks, so it could only escape a mile or two.
However, this item is still a powerful treasure for escaping.
Moreover, Fang Yang also discovered that although the spiritual herb named Jiangkong Xingxihua had been made into dry medicine, there were still scattered seeds on it that had not fallen.
Fang Yang was overjoyed, although it would take more than 1,000 years for this medicine to be used as a material for refining the "Golden Pill".
But Fang Yang has three-color sacred soil and a small piece of five-color sacred soil.
Therefore, it is not difficult for him to obtain the "Red Sky Flower" that lasts for more than a thousand years.
"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 is looking for an opportunity to buy or refine the Golden Pill to use it to reach the Golden Pill realm!"
He Dong shook his head and said.
"The road to spiritual practice is extremely difficult, but I think it requires one to constantly fight against the heavens, and one should not be like Taoist He, who is tyrannical and swayed by desires. How is this any different from an animal?" Zhang Lin also sighed and said.
"Who am I? Where do I come from? Where am I going?" He Dong said suddenly.
After hearing what He Dong said, everyone was silent for a while.
Seeing that everyone seemed a little confused, He Dong smiled and said: "These are the three ultimate questions of philosophy in my hometown."
"My mother...Brother He, what is philosophy?" Nopo asked in confusion.
"Hahaha..." He Dong laughed awkwardly.
"Philosophy is something that a few old academics in my hometown did when they had enough to eat and had nothing to do. But what they thought was very far-reaching, profound, and could guide people. This is philosophy!"
"I don't know anything about philosophy, but I know that no matter what the mess is, whether it's cultivation or life, the high priest taught me to stand upright, and screw other monsters, ghosts, and snake gods!" Nopo said with a smile.
"Hahaha, if you were in my hometown, you should be considered a philosopher!" He Dong laughed.
Fang Yang also smiled. Although he didn't know what philosophy was, he had an inexplicable understanding in his heart, or an epiphany!
In the following days, the four of them began to work together to set up the formation.
Fang Yang and the others first arranged the Seven Evils Yin and Yang Formation, placing the seven array artifacts in seven locations on Yanmu Immortal Island.
The seven positions are the five elements and heaven and earth.
Borrowing evil spirits from the five elements such as the evil spirits of heaven, earth evil, sea water evil, earth fire fire evil, mountain forest wood evil, etc., they merge into seven evil spirits.
If the formation is successfully deployed, it will be able to cover most of the entire Yanmu Island.
Moreover, the four of them are all formation masters, and they have also obtained the formation methods of Qianyun Sect, which has improved them.
Although the jade slips Bai Xiaoyun took out did not contain advanced formations, the essence of the formations in them had already benefited Fang Yang and the others a lot.
The four of them continued to improve and optimize the formation according to the terrain here, and it took three months to complete the arrangement.
At the same time, Fang Yang and the others began to arrange a copycat version of the Wanxiang Sect's mountain-protecting array, the "Small Positive and Negative Liangyi Wanxiang Array" based on the Qisha Yin and Yang Formation.
Fortunately, the small front, back, rear and all-purpose formation also has seven formation positions, so they don't have to develop the formation positions anymore.
They arranged it directly on the basis of the Qisha Yin and Yang Formation.
The four of them tried their best and cooperated with each other, and finally completed the formation of Yanmu Immortal Island half a year later.
The Linglan Mountain's "Small Positive and Negative Liangsi Vientiane Formation" and the "Seven Evil Yin and Yang Formation" of the East China Sea Islands cooperate with each other, which can be regarded as a fusion of two different formation methods.
As a result, this formation is even more extraordinary.
It is not difficult for a monk who is familiar with the Linglan Mountain formation to decipher the "Small Positive and Negative Liangsi Vientiane Formation", but it is very difficult to decipher the "Seven Evil Yin and Yang Formation".
Vice versa, so people who want to break the formation of Yanmu Immortal Island have become extremely difficult to find. Unless the monks at the peak of the early stage of the Golden Core or even the middle stage of the Golden Core attack with all their strength for several days, they can be broken.
In this way, the combination of the two formations is achieved!
Fang Yang's Yanmu Island is even more impregnable.
After the formation was completely arranged, Fang Yang and the others found Chen Chun, the lord of Yanmu City, and explained the affairs of the island.
At the same time, he was given a jade slip to activate the formation. When necessary, he could control some of the orifices in the formation to attack the enemy, and then he went into seclusion to practice.
At this time, Fang Yang had successfully refined seven or eight furnaces of Snow Ning Dan.
Each of them received fifty or sixty pills.
At this time, it was the time when they needed time to hit the realm. Then the four of them took the Snow Ning Dan and started practicing in the cave they had dug.
Each Ningxue Pill turned into a stream of warm currents and entered Fang Yang's sea of true energy.
The medicinal power is like a hot spring, which greatly nourishes Fang Yang's body and mind.
Fang Yang seized the opportunity and kept turning around, thirty-six times, seventy-two times...
Cultivation has no time, and three years have passed very quickly.
Fang Yang and the others' practice was quite smooth at the beginning. Fang Yang broke through two realms from the second level of foundation building to the fourth level of foundation building.
Zhang Lin and Nuopo both broke through to the fifth level of Foundation Establishment and became mid-stage Foundation Establishment monks.
He Dong even broke through to the sixth level of foundation building.
You must know that in these three years, they can improve more than ordinary monks in the early stage of foundation building who have practiced for thirty or forty years.
However, the effectiveness of the Snow Ning Dan gradually began to decline as their realm improved.
Later, Fang Yang found that no matter what elixir he took, his body could not contain more spiritual energy.
Once this spiritual energy is saturated, it begins 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 also encountered the same situation and had to interrupt their retreat.
