Chapter 360: Chapter 61: The Spirit Field on the Island
After hearing Lin Jing’s words, everyone fell into silence for a while.
Indeed, as Lin Jing said, the Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch now loomed over them all like a looming mountain.
Then, after a moment of contemplation, Lu Youjiu said:
“Alright…”
“Lin brother speaks the truth, now is indeed not the time to speak of other matters.”
After he finished speaking.
Lu Youjiu reached out, pulled several Spirit-Quelling Boxes from his Space Ring, and handed them, along with the Nirvana Flower, to Lin Jing.
He then said to Lin Jing:
“Lin brother, since you’re in charge of Alchemy, I’ll leave these materials for the Nirvana Elixir in your care.”
“I’ll have Niu San collect any other materials you lack. Now that we have the Nirvana Flower, gathering the rest won’t be difficult…”
Lin Jing looked up, met Lu Youjiu’s sincere gaze, and nodded.
Following that.
Lin Jing also took out a small green jade bottle from his Storage Bag.
He then pushed it, along with the Pure Jade Box, towards Lu Youjiu.
“Lu brother…”
“Inside that bottle are three top-grade Yuan-Increasing Pills, including the Immaculate Yuan-Increasing Pill, which should be sufficient for your use for the time being.”
“Just focus on your cultivation for this period. Leave the Elixir Medicine to me.”
Lu Youjiu nodded, collecting the Yuan-Increasing Pills, then spoke:
“With these Elixir Medicines, that will be enough…”
“Taking these, I can shorten my cultivation time significantly.”
“As for the rest, there’s no need…”
However, Lin Jing shook his head and then turned to Yan Wanfei, saying:
“Yan brother…”
“When you go to Bihai City to collect materials, if possible, gather materials for the Yellow Dragon Elixir and the Life-Dissipating Elixir.”
The Yellow Dragon Elixir is used for rapidly restoring Spiritual Power, and the Life-Dissipating Elixir for quickly healing injuries.
Clearly, Lin Jing was preparing for Lu Youjiu’s Tribulation.
Hearing this, Yan Wanfei patted his chest loudly and said:
“Brother Lin, leave the materials to old Niu, you just rest assured.”
Lin Jing then nodded his head.
After that, the group discussed for a while, and before long, they had finished their discussions.
Ultimately, the arrangements for what each person would do next had been set.
Lu Youjiu would focus solely on breaking through in his cultivation.
Holaw Three Rivers would delve into research on Formations, seeking to rapidly increase his Formation Cultivation.
And Lin Jing would be responsible for Alchemy.
Only Yan Wanfei was left; his task was to help the others.
For instance, the Spirit Plants needed by Lin Jing for Alchemy and the materials needed by Holaw Three Rivers for setting up Formations would all require Yan Wanfei’s procurement in Bihai City.
After finalizing their plans, the group left the hall.
Lu Youjiu immediately called over an original inhabitant Cultivator of Li Yan Island, that is, a middle-aged beautiful woman.
“Greetings to the Island Master and the three Vice-Island Lords.”
“May I ask what instructions the Island Master has?” The middle-aged woman came over, saluted respectfully, and then spoke.
This middle-aged woman’s Cultivation wasn’t too high, but she also possessed the Cultivation of the later stage of Foundation Establishment.
As an original Cultivator resident of Li Yan Island, facing these Golden Core Cultivators like Lin Jing and the others, she had no choice but to be respectful.
This was also their accustomed way of survival.
They couldn’t help it; in the Thousand Islands Domain, strength was revered.
Even if they wanted to resist, with their weak strength, it would be futile.
Lu Youjiu directly said to the middle-aged woman:
“Didn’t you say before that Dai Mao’s subordinate Alchemist had a dedicated Alchemy room?”
“Lead Lin Island Master over to that Alchemy room now.”
Upon hearing Lu Youjiu’s words, the middle-aged woman bowed deeply and said to him:
“Island Master, the Alchemy room is protected by a Formation and requires a Token to open.”
Lin Jing promptly took out a Token and showed it to the middle-aged woman, then said:
“The Token is with me, let’s go.”
The middle-aged woman bowed and said to Lin Jing:
“Lin Island Master, please follow me…”
And Lin Jing first turned to Lu Youjiu and said:
“Lu brother, I’ll go check out the Alchemy room first. After that, we can go to Bihai City together.”
This was what they had just agreed upon. They were all to go to the Temple this time to complete a task and were planning to make use of the opportunity to procure more Alchemy materials.
After speaking, Lin Jing promptly followed the middle-aged woman and left the place, heading towards the back of Li Yan Island.
Li Yan Island, in the entire Thousand Islands Domain, wasn’t considered a very large island, with the island being irregularly oval-shaped.
The southern half of the island had relatively flat terrain, and most of it was used as the Cultivators’ residential area.
There was even a small town constructed by the original Cultivator residents and the ordinary people of the island.
The central area, where Lin Jing and the others had just been discussing, was the palace built by Dai Mao after he occupied the island.
Beyond that was a range of hills that extended all the way to the northern edge of the island, forming steep cliffs.
The Alchemy room that Lin Jing was headed to was situated on one of these hills in the northern part of the island.
The reason for this location was that the Alchemist preferred quiet and didn’t like to be disturbed, which is why he moved the Alchemy room to the hill.
There was also another factor.
This hilly area was close to the Spirit Fields on Li Yan Island.
Yes, Spirit Fields.
Several Spirit Fields had been developed on Li Yan Island for cultivating low-grade Spirit Plants.
Even in some southern parts of Li Yan Island.
Some Spirit Rice was also planted, attended to by those commoners, alongside a portion of cultivators.
The Spiritual Energy of the Demonic Monster Sea was much denser than that of the Nanming Domain, allowing the cultivation of Spirit Plants on just about any piece of fallow land available.
However.
Due to the scarcity of land in the Demonic Monster Sea and the relatively high number of cultivators,
even so, the price of low-grade Spirit Plants in the Demonic Monster Sea remained expensive, even pricier than they had been in the Nanming Domain.
……
Lin Jing followed the middle-aged beautiful woman, passing by the Spirit Field on their way towards the hills behind it.
When crossing the Spirit Field, Lin Jing took a special moment to examine it closely.
After a thorough inspection, Lin Jing determined that there was definitely an expert in the cultivation of Spirit Plants on the island, as each type of Spirit Plant was flourishing.
Clearly, this was the result of meticulous care.
Therefore, Lin Jing asked the middle-aged beautiful woman:
“May I know who is in charge of managing these Spirit Fields?”
The middle-aged beautiful woman then spoke up, saying to Lin Jing:
“To answer the Island Master Lin, these Spirit Fields are indeed under my management.”
Lin Jing continued his questioning:
“Are you skilled in the cultivation of Spirit Plants?”
The middle-aged beautiful woman bowed and said:
“Replying to Island Master Lin, I learned some from my father before, but I can only say I have a slight understanding; I wouldn’t consider myself an expert.”
Lin Jing, observing the robust growth of various Spirit Plants before him, couldn’t help but reevaluate the middle-aged beautiful woman.
The middle-aged beautiful woman was truly being modest.
It was no easy task to cultivate Spirit Plants to such a state on this island, with its complex weather conditions—something not just anyone could achieve.
After observing for a while, Lin Jing continued to follow the middle-aged beautiful woman up towards the hill.
Atop the hill, they were halted by a Formation.
Lin Jing took out a Token, placed it on the Formation, which then opened, and both he and the middle-aged beautiful woman walked in.
As soon as they entered the Formation, Lin Jing noticed that the area at the top of the hill was distinct from the bottom.
Above the hill, the Spiritual Energy was even more abundant than below, and even the air seemed dryer.
Then, Lin Jing looked up and ahead.
At the summit before them, there was a house, and beside it, a Pill Furnace room that was almost as large as the house itself.
Next to the Pill Furnace room were two Spirit Fields, not very large in area.
Within those Spirit Fields grew the Biling Flower, Rockheart Grass, Moon Mulberry Spirit Fruit, Washing Spirit Grass, among others…
Several third-rank Spirit Plants flourishing inside.
This…
They were actually two plots capable of cultivating third-rank Spirit Plants, high-grade Spirit Fields.
Lin Jing then went up to inspect these higher-level Spirit Fields.
These third-rank Spirit Plants, like the lower-rank ones below, were also thriving.
And these Spirit Plants were also being taken care of by the middle-aged beautiful woman.
It seemed evident that the middle-aged beautiful woman was indeed highly proficient in the cultivation of Spirit Plants.
Otherwise, Dai Mao’s subordinates wouldn’t have entrusted these Spirit Plants to her care so confidently.
Afterward, Lin Jing asked for the middle-aged beautiful woman’s name; when he learned she was called Yue Qi, he addressed her as Lady Qi.
When Lin Jing and Lady Qi stepped into the Pill Furnace room, what first caught his eye was the massive Pill Furnace.
Upon seeing the Pill Furnace, Lin Jing walked straight up and started checking it out.
After his inspection, Lin Jing couldn’t help but feel disappointed.
The Pill Furnace was indeed as Lu Youjiu had said, nothing special.
Its material quality was even inferior to his own Fire Meteor Four-Pattern Furnace.
Following that.
Lin Jing surveyed the Pill Furnace room a bit more.
However, in the end, he found nothing of interest.
After inspecting the Pill Furnace room, Lin Jing entered the cabin to look around; it was a resting place with nothing inside.
Subsequently, Lin Jing took Lady Qi down the hill to rendezvous with Youjiu and the others…
……
Before long, half a month had passed,
Half a month ago, they went to the Hall of Pacts, completed their task handover, then purchased some Spirit Plants for Alchemy and materials needed for setting up Formations before heading straight back to Li Yan Island.
However, one person was an exception.
That was Lu Youjiu.
In Bihai City, after the purchases were made, Lu Youjiu piloted the Flying Boat to send the others back to Li Yan Island.
He then directly drove the Flying Boat away, stating he was on a quest to find a suitable Pill Furnace for Lin Jing.
That trip lasted half a month.
Up until now, he hadn’t returned.
Meanwhile, Lin Jing and the others had become busy.
Holaw Three Rivers spent his days in the square, studying the fifth-rank Trap-Killing Formation.
And Lin Jing had taken over the Pill Furnace room on the previously mentioned hill as his own territory.
After all, that place was relatively quiet and free of disturbances.
Yan Wanfei…
Besides cultivating, had also taken on the duty to defend the island.
He didn’t involve himself in the island’s management.
He left it entirely to Yue Qi and a few other original cultivators of Li Yan Island.
But this arrangement was for the better.
If he had been managing, Lin Jing had no doubt.
The entire Li Yan Island would have inevitably become a complete mess.
