The sun rises from the sea-sky line further east, the morning breeze blows, and a cool and peaceful atmosphere envelopes every corner of Lingyun Island.
With the first ray of golden light falling between heaven and earth, the hill in the center of Lingyun Island began to move.
One after another, the cave doors were opened, and dozens of fresh and beautiful figures appeared from inside.
These figures greeted each other and chatted and laughed.
As they walked towards the spiritual fields opened up on Lingyun Island, they broke the brief morning tranquility of the island with their clear laughter.
So after a while, the spiritual fields covered with various lush spiritual plants became noisy.
Lingyun Island suddenly seemed full of life!
...
...
Lingyun Island is the stronghold of the Li family in Taiqiu Mountain in the Wanxing Islands. In addition to the permanent residence of the family elder Li Qingshui, there are also many clan members who practice Qi and practice here.
When this island was first built, there were more members of the Li family's generation. But later, or to be precise, after the girls in the Qi refining stage collected by the Li family were sent to this island, the Li family's people on it
There are more people in the tribe who have become the Yuzi generation.
The previous clan members of the Xuan generation either returned to Taiqiu Mountain or went to work in their family's shop in the Ten Thousand Stars Islands.
The remaining ones, whose cultivation levels were basically in the late stages of Qi refining, were left to assist Seventeenth Uncle Li Qingshui in performing some tasks.
The tasks here refer to the more difficult tasks, such as exploring new islands, intercepting and killing a monk, or investigating the absconders of the Zhao family hidden in the archipelago.
As for simple tasks such as collecting spiritual plants on new islands and hunting down some first- and second-level sea beasts in the sea, they are basically completed by members of the Jade generation who are not yet high in cultivation.
But Li Yujie, who also belongs to the Jade generation, is not among them. He has only carried out one or two missions to collect spiritual plants on newly discovered islands. Then he found his uncle Li Qingshui and asked to change the content of the mission... He
I want to carry out the tasks that should be carried out by the clan uncle of the Xuan generation.
This was originally against the rules, but for some unknown reason, Li Qingshui agreed.
There was just one request, he asked Li Yujie to take another female cultivator with a similar level of cultivation on Lingyun Island to perform the mission together.
The latter was a little resistant to this at first, but this arrangement was an order from Taiqiu Mountain, and it was probably the intention of the patriarch Li Changqing, so he had no right to refuse.
Therefore, under the arrangement of Li Qingshui, Li Yujie and his small followers officially began their mission career in the Ten Thousand Stars Islands.
Li Yujie was very suitable for this kind of time when he was often traveling outside. Not only was his cultivation not affected in any way, but he improved a lot.
So much so that the speed of his cultivation later attracted the family's attention, so under the instructions of the family leader, Elder Li Changji, Lingyun Island's resources began to be consciously tilted towards him.
This cycle continued, so after his cultivation officially broke through to the fifth level of Qi Refining, he also gained further attainments in the corpse refining and corpse transformation techniques.
Faintly, the first-level high-grade corpse that he originally exchanged with contribution points from the family warehouse can't keep up with his pace. He needs a higher-level corpse to fully display his strength.
.
Just when Li Qingshui was trying to help him get the second-level corpse refining from the family's warehouse, Li Yujie had an accident during a mission.
If it weren't for the backhand that Li Qingshui arranged for him, and he used a special escape technique to arrive at the mission site in time, Li Yujie, who was in the state of corpse, and his mind was already confused, would have killed the female cultivator who was following him.
.
Li Qingshui was not a merciful person, but after controlling Li Yujie, he was still shocked by the bloody scene at the mission site.
He silently brought Li Yujie and the female cultivator back to Lingyun Island. Although he had expected the latter's situation, he did not expect that Li Yujie's practice in corpse transformation had reached this point.
.
Li Qingshui thought about how to handle this incident for a day, and finally decided not to send Li Yujie back to his family for the time being, but to stay on Lingyun Island to continue his training.
When he conveyed the news of this mission back to Mount Taiqiu and into the hands of his eighth uncle Li Changji, the latter must have noticed some of his selfish intentions, but Li Changji did not express any objection.
After that, I briefly mentioned it, and finally did what Li Qingshui wanted.
Li Changqing may pay attention to this kind of thing for a short time, but he will definitely not interfere in any specific way. After all, he is just a clan member of the Jade Generation Qi Refining Period. Such specific family affairs will be handled by Li Changji.
Maybe Badi and Qingshui had other intentions in this matter, but Li Changqing actually wasn't too worried. The reason was still the same. After all, this was just a matter for a clan member in the Qi Refining Stage.
When Li Changji reported this matter to him, Li Changqing was actually more concerned about another aspect.
He was considering whether to really send Li Xuangang and Li Yuheng to the cultivation world in the central part of the mainland.
...
...
With the family's tacit approval, Li Qingshui also asked Li Xuanshan to bring him two second-level corpses from Taiqiu Mountain, as well as all the basic heart-purifying spells in the family library.
He handed those Qingxin Spells to Li Yujie and issued a stay-at-home order, not allowing him to leave the island area of Lingyun Island for a short period of time.
So Li Yujie walked into the cave with a few jade tubes inscribed with the Anxin Qingshen mantra and began a retreat with no specific time limit.
...
...
The morning sun continued to rise higher in the sky, and more and more golden light fell on Lingyun Island.
Most of the spiritual plants in the island's spiritual fields like the sun, so they look even more beautiful under such bright sunshine.
The unique breaths released by them are entangled with each other, showing extremely rich vitality.
The young monks spread out in such a spiritual field and began to take care of their own spiritual plants.
After waiting for a while, some members of the Li family's Yu clan appeared from the hill in the center of Lingyun Island. They came down from the mountain and soon joined the ranks of these female cultivators.
The family has a mission, and while taking care of the spiritual plants, they need to learn the most basic knowledge of spiritual plants, and those who cooperate with them are these female cultivators.
Hmm... Sometimes, when going out to sea to perform tasks on outer islands, they work in pairs.
This cooperation has lasted for many years, and the girls at the beginning have grown into young girls.
Due to long-term interactions, most of these young boys and girls have a good relationship, especially when it comes to two people who cooperate with each other, they have a tacit understanding.
Of course, the initial atmosphere was far from so harmonious. When these female cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage were just brought to this small island from Chaoyang Continent by the Li family, every one of them was full of panic.
Because to them, who were young and young at the time, the Li family in Taiqiu Mountain was just a behemoth that they had only heard of from others. They only knew that it was a very powerful monk family in the Tianhe area.
Moreover, there are rumors that there are monks at the Golden Core stage in this family.
Golden elixir stage... This is a state that these young girls in the Qi refining stage could not imagine at that time.
Therefore, even though the Li family members were relatively kind to them during the journey, the fear of the unknown still occupied most of their minds.
You know, many monk sects or families in the Tianhe region will secretly imprison monks.
Then force these monks to do things for them, such as serving as mining tools, such as cannon fodder when developing a new dangerous environment, and the most frightening thing is that some of them will become blood sacrifices for other monks to practice some skills...
...
All these are very terrible experiences.
Most of these young girls also thought that the Li family wanted to imprison them at this time.
But after crossing the East China Sea, arriving at Wanxingfang City through the teleportation array on Limeng Island, and then arriving at this medium-sized island called Lingyun Island from Wanxingfang City, the extremely dark slave life they expected did not come.
On the contrary, their cultivation career here is much better than before in Chaoyang Continent.
In the past, they were either weak casual cultivators who did not have sufficient training resources and wandered around in various markets, or they were ordinary members of the Qi Lian family who often worried about being exterminated.
But here, those things they worried about before no longer exist.
The family elder of the Li family, who looked very scholarly, would often talk to them to understand each of their characteristics and cultivation talents.
Every time I see them, I smile and nod to say hello to each of them.
He will arrange tasks for them to take care of spiritual plants, teach them some basic knowledge of planting spiritual plants, and will distribute spiritual stones and elixirs for cultivation every month based on the results of completing their tasks.
If they did not consider the reality that they could not leave the island, they felt that they were no different from the children of the Li family in Taiqiu Mountain.
And not long after they arrived, a group of Li clan members who were about the same age as them were also sent here to perform tasks, practice together, and live together with them.
These Li clan members of the Yu generation also don’t have the playboy temperament of the children of the big family. Like their uncles of the Xuan generation, they are very friendly to monks with foreign surnames, and sometimes even take more care of them in some aspects.
.
The Li family in Taiqiu Mountain may be different from other powerful monk families. This is a "friendly" family...
At that time, these girls, who were still young and had not experienced too many dangers in the world of cultivation, all thought so.
And as time goes by, their age gradually increases, so the impression left on them when they were young becomes more and more profound.
Until it became their basic understanding of the entire Li family, and sometimes they even thought that they were also a member of the Li family, even though they had never even been to Taiqiu Mountain.
...
...
The Lingtian on Lingyun Island began to become more and more lively due to the increase in the number of people. When the sun hung high above the head, a black spaceship arrived from the distant sea.
So everyone in the spiritual field stopped what they were doing, stood up and looked at the slowly falling flying boat.
"Uncle Clan and the others are back from a mission. I wonder what the harvest was like this time?"
"When I reach the fifth level of Qi Refining, I also want to go on missions outside the island with them, just like Brother Yujie."
The person who said this was Li Yuyan, and Li Jiayu was ranked 74th in his generation.
After he finished speaking, he turned to look at the girl next to him.
This girl, whose surname was Qiu, was currently looking at the Li clan members who were carrying various resources from the flying boat, so she did not notice Li Yuyan's gaze.
After all the resources on the black airship were unloaded and then sent to Li Qingshui's cave in the center of Lingyun Island.
She suddenly came back to her senses, blinked her big, watery eyes, and asked in a small voice with a doubtful tone:
"Huh? Yuyan, what did you just say?"
...
...
In addition to the return of the tribesmen who went on a mission today, something special happened on Lingyun Island.
Li Yujie, who had been in seclusion for more than a month, was released from seclusion. This time was much shorter than Li Qingshui expected.
What was even more surprising to him was that in just over a month, Li Yujie had unknowingly broken through to the sixth level of Qi Refining.
The days in the Wanxing Islands are relatively short, so when Li Yujie arrived at Li Qingshui's cave, the latter had just finished processing the new batch of resources arriving on the island, and the sky outside had already begun to become a little dark.
Faint stars appeared outside the clouds.
"Uncle."
Li Yujie stood next to a huge stone and saluted Li Qingshui. There was a slight smile on his pale face, but it may be because he was too thin. Under the blowing of the evening sea breeze, the black mysterious clothes on his body were still soft.
of swing.
Li Qingshui turned his head and looked over, glanced at Li Yujie, nodded in agreement, and then fixed his gaze on the smaller figure next to him.
The figure noticed Li Qingshui's gaze and panicked for a moment. He was stunned for a moment before coming back to his senses and quickly saluted:
