The "promise" that Lian Chenglin spoke of was naturally not the real "promise". Things had come to this point, and the 352 foundation-building monks standing here could naturally only act according to the arrangements he said.
Li Xuangang, Lu Pingchuan, Shen Liuyue and others stood together. At this time, they all subconsciously glanced at Zhong Yuke beside them.
Because the latter had said before that Lian Chenglin's arrangement would not have much impact on their plans, so now it is time to verify the authenticity of this statement!
...
Time seemed to go faster at this moment. After Lian Chenglin said those words, he glanced at the crowd and then continued to speak, saying the "promise" in his own words.
"I only give you half a year to explore these islands. Once the half year is up, the treasure ship will set off from here and return to Dongkaibo City."
"As for what you have gained from those ancient sect ruins in the past six months, I have nothing to do with it. You all rely on your own abilities."
As soon as these words came out, all the foundation-building monks present opened their eyes slightly.
They originally thought that Lian Chenglin wanted them to complete some mission.
But he never expected that he would just allow them to explore freely, and not only that, but judging from what he meant, he didn't seem to have the slightest interest in the items they got from exploring.
However, after Li Xuangang digested the information in these two sentences, he instinctively focused his attention on this time of half a year.
"Half a year? Why half a year?" He had a trace of doubt!
...
In the midst of everyone's surprised gazes, Lian Chenglin waved his hand, and hundreds of jade tubes appeared out of thin air, landing accurately in front of every casual cultivator in the foundation building stage.
"Here is a map of the distribution of islands within the Ten Thousand Stars Archipelago to facilitate your operations in the next six months."
"But there is a sea area on the map that I have specially marked. You should not go to that sea area."
The words were said in an understatement, but everyone could hear a strong threat from it.
At this time, these foundation-building casual cultivators held the jade tube in their hands that recorded the location and distribution map of the islands in the Ten Thousand Stars Archipelago, but no one chose to look at it at this time.
But after Lian Chenglin finished speaking, they all bowed and cupped their hands and said:
"Remember the real person's instructions!"
After waving his hand and his eyes becoming colder, Lian Chenglin finally spoke:
"You can leave here, remember you only have half a year."
The arrangement has been made very clear, although most of the monks do not understand the profound meaning of this real man who is at the peak of the golden elixir stage.
But the unexpected joy of getting the map is enough. As for one of the places that I was warned not to set foot on... the Ten Thousand Stars Islands is so big, I won't go if I don't go there!
Therefore, at this time, they all put away their jade tubes and once again raised their hands to show respect. Then some people...either alone or in groups, transformed into streams of light and flew away from the top of the mountain.
In the blink of an eye, more than two hundred monks rushed into the unknown sea around them to compete for the possible opportunities.
...
Li Xuangang turned over and put the jade tube into his storage bag, because he had learned from Zhong Yuke that Lian Chenglin was likely to give them this map.
Besides, he already knew the contents of the map in advance, so he was not surprised at this time. After putting away the jade tube, he looked at Zhong Yuke beside him.
When the latter heard Lian Chenglin's arrangement, he frowned, but it didn't last long. After just a few breaths, he said to the five Li Xuangang beside him:
"Walk!"
Immediately, the remaining five people, led by Zhong Yuke, Li Xuangang, and Lu Pingchuan, followed him and transformed into different escaping lights and disappeared into the vast sea.
After flying away for about a quarter of an hour, there were no other casual cultivators in the foundation-building period around.
So Zhong Yuke stopped in the air and took out a small dark blue airship from the storage bag.
After all six people entered the flying boat, Zhong Yuke performed a magic spell, and the small dark blue flying boat turned into a stream of light, heading towards the stars at a speed that was much faster than the flight speed of ordinary foundation-building monks.
Flying to the interior of the archipelago.
...
The sea breeze roared, and a layer of black aura automatically appeared on Li Xuangang's body to isolate him.
He looked at Zhong Yuke's small airship and found that its internal space was smaller than that of the family's Hessen airship. It could only accommodate eight people at most, but its speed was similar.
For some reason, none of the six people spoke a word after entering the small spaceship, letting Zhong Yuke control the boat and lead them through the waters of the Ten Thousand Stars Islands.
Soon, half an hour passed in silence.
During this period, the airship also passed by more than a dozen islands, two or three of which had spiritual veins on them. There were also faint remains of some buildings on them, as well as hidden formations restricting fluctuations.
Obviously, there are relics of ancient sects on those islands, and the relics mean that there is likely to be an opportunity inside.
However, Zhong Yuke seemed not to be aware of the existence of spiritual veins on those islands. He just controlled the shuttle to fly forward, turning a blind eye to the ancient sect ruins and restricted fluctuations on them.
That's right, in front of a medicinal garden that may contain high-level spiritual plants, the things on these islands are indeed not very attractive to him.
Moreover, that medicine garden may very well contain the opportunity for him to continue on his path!
...
Another half an hour passed, and the speed of the flying boat had stabilized. At this time, Zhong Yuke turned his head and looked at the five people in the boat.
He opened his mouth and said:
"All fellow Taoists have just seen the map in the jade tube. Now that everyone is on this airship, it is impossible to leak anything anymore, so I have no need to hide the specific location of the medicine garden.
Got it!"
Then he took out the animal skin map, spread it out, pointed at an inconspicuous island in the northeast of the Ten Thousand Stars Archipelago, and said:
"If nothing else, the medicine garden I mentioned is on this island. But I have reminded you before. It is also my first time to go to that island, so whether there is any danger, I will
I’m not sure.”
"Therefore, I hope you will be prepared in advance for unexpected situations!"
Li Xuangang stared at the island pointed by Zhong Yuke on the map, and then looked around the sea around it.
I found that there are more than twenty small islands surrounding this island. Going further out, there is a vast expanse of empty blue.
Judging from the map, the island Zhong Yuke planned to take them to was really inconspicuous among all the islands in the northeastern part of the Wanxing Islands.
If Zhong Yuke hadn't pointed it out clearly, no one would have known that there was a long-standing medicinal garden on it.
While Li Xuangang was sizing up and considering the surrounding situation of the island, Shen Liuyue curved her eyebrows and drew a straight line with her fingers over the animal skin map.
He spoke softly:
"Senior Zhong, judging from this map, at our current speed, it will probably take quite a while to reach that island, right?"
Zhong Yuke smiled slightly and replied:
"It doesn't matter, Lian Chenglin gave us half a year. It will take us almost a month to get from here to there. Even if the return and stay time are included, the time is completely sufficient."
At this time, Lu Pingchuan also came up to Shen Liuyue and joked with a smile:
"Is Fellow Daoist Shen still afraid that he will not be able to make it in time for the treasure ship to return, and will be left alone in the Ten Thousand Stars Islands?"
Hearing this, everyone chuckled. Shen Liuyue raised her hand to explain something. But Li Xuangang suddenly interrupted her.
His face turned serious, and he spoke seriously to the others:
"Although the chances of anyone other than us finding this island guided by Senior Zhong are not high, we have encountered many coincidences since I started practicing Taoism."
"What if...Li is saying what if, someone finds the island by accident?"
Everyone stopped laughing and fell silent for a while.
Then, Zhong Yuke gave a conclusion in a cold voice:
"Since Master Lian Chenglin has not said that we are not allowed to fight each other, then if we encounter the situation mentioned by fellow Taoist Li Jiu... just kill them!"
