Twenty-two years have passed since the time travel.
Life is unpredictable. Five years have passed in the blink of an eye. This year, Chen Changsheng is already forty-seven years old!
"Island Master, Island Master, the old man from this town, Yuan, couldn't make it through last night. He's gone!"
Chen Changsheng, who had just put down his bowl and chopsticks, suddenly heard the mayor shouting outside.
"Okay, I understand. I'll be right there!" Chen Changsheng nodded.
Over the past five years, Chen Changsheng's reputation for benevolence and righteousness has spread not only on Changwei Island, but even many people on Huangsha Island have heard of Chen Changsheng's reputation.
Great righteousness!
This was Chen Changsheng's nickname on Huangsha Island. Many monks on Huangsha Island considered Chen Changsheng a close friend, and mortals even worshipped him profusely...
In fact, he didn't do anything. Whenever someone died, he would go to the scene to mourn, recite a mantra for rebirth, and help the deceased to settle the afterlife. This was the same for everyone, whether they were mortals or monks!
Changwei Town, Yuan family!
"The island owner is here!"
"Meet the Island Owner"
Chen Changsheng walked into the Yuan family, and everyone bowed to him.
"Everyone, get up. No need to be so polite!"
Chen Changsheng waved his hand gently, and then looked at Old Yuan who was already lying in the coffin.
"Yuan Kui, male, 78 years old, died of old age!"
"Last wish: My son, Yuan Fei, has a daughter but no son. I want my daughter-in-law to give birth to a son so that the Yuan family will not be extinct!"
"Corpse evaluation: ordinary one-star."
This last wish...
Chen Changsheng glanced at Yuan Fei and his wife...
I have to say, Yuan Fei's wife is quite pretty. Although she is older... she looks more mature...
Never mind, never mind...
As for this last wish, let it be as it comes. I can't go there myself to leave offspring for the Yuan family, right?
"Yuan Fei!" Chen Changsheng said.
"Island Master, I'm here!" Yuan Fei hurried forward and said.
"Work hard and give birth to a son. Your father will be satisfied even in his grave!" Chen Changsheng patted Yuan Fei's shoulder gently.
"This... is, Island Master, Yuan Fei understands!" Yuan Fei said with a wry smile.
"It's just a small token of my appreciation. Please accept it. If you have any difficulties, go to the mayor and he will help you solve it!" said Chen Changsheng.
"Yes, thank you, Island Master!" Yuan Fei respectfully accepted the silver given by Chen Changsheng.
This is also a common practice.
Chen Changsheng never went to offer condolences empty-handed. If it was a mortal's home, he would give some silver. If it was a cultivator's home, he would give the family spirit stones. These were all very affordable gifts.
"You guys continue, I'm going back!"
"Farewell, Island Master!"
…
Returning to the cave, Chen Changsheng couldn't help but smile as he looked at the lush greenery of various spiritual herbs and medicinal herbs at the entrance...
"It's a shame to harvest five-year-old licorice now. It's better to wait until it's five years old."
"This Poria cocos has been cultivated for a long time, and its growth rate is not slow."
"And the same goes for Polygonatum sibiricum. If it grows a few more years, it can be used as medicine!"
"Who says spiritual fields can only grow spiritual rice? It's more profitable to grow spiritual herbs..."
"However, spiritual herbs are difficult to grow and require specialized techniques. Moreover, unlike spiritual rice which is harvested once a year, ordinary spiritual herbs cannot be used to make pills without three to five years, even the simplest fasting pills."
"To refine elixirs that improve mana, you need herbs that are at least ten years old."
"Unfortunately, I don't know how to make pills yet, so I can only guard this large area of medicinal herbs for the time being..."
"But it doesn't matter. It's just alchemy. I'll get it sooner or later. At the very least, these herbs can be sold for a good price. At least I won't lose money!"
Chen Changsheng kept ten acres of spiritual fields for himself, but he did not use them to grow spiritual rice. Instead, he used them to grow some simple and easy-to-grow spiritual herbs and medicines. He learned this planting technique from a cultivator who grew spiritual herbs for the Song family!
"Rowley!"
Chen Changsheng shouted.
"Here we go, Boss!"
Suddenly, Luo Li's voice came from the side.
"I'm going to be in seclusion for a while. If anything happens on Changwei Island, you have to deal with it first!" Chen Changsheng said.
"Retreat? Boss, how long are you going to retreat for?" Luo Li asked.
"The time is uncertain, maybe ten days at most, or more than a month at most!" Chen Changsheng said.
After five years of reckless investment and many fortuitous encounters, Chen Changsheng's cultivation has now reached a bottleneck. It's time to make a breakthrough!
"Okay, leave it to me!" Luo Li said hurriedly.
"You must also take good care of these flowers and plants. Just follow the methods I teach you. If there is anything you don't understand, don't touch them casually. Wait for me to come out. Do you understand?" Chen Changsheng said.
"Yes, boss!" Luo Li nodded.
Chen Changsheng was quite caring towards Luo Li. In addition to charging him less rent, he also taught him Xiao Moxi's skill in making talisman paper.
Although blank talisman paper is not very valuable and is quite complicated to make, it is at least a skill that can earn spirit stones.
As for the cultivation of spiritual herbs and medicines, it actually belongs to the spiritual pharmacist among the hundred arts of immortal cultivation. Although Chen Changsheng's knowledge was not complete, he did not keep it to himself and selectively taught some of them.
Spiritual plant husbands and spiritual medicine practitioners have something in common. In addition to growing spiritual rice himself, Luo Li also followed Chen Changsheng to grow some spiritual medicines.
After returning to the cave, Chen Changsheng waved the formation plate in his hand and activated the formation. Suddenly, a fog appeared out of thin air, completely covering the entire cave.
"A first-level intermediate psychedelic formation can actually stop some people with bad intentions!" Chen Changsheng said with a faint smile.
Chen Changsheng obtained a lot of spoils from Manager Wan, including a first-grade top-grade formation inheritance.
In five years, Chen Changsheng, with his photographic memory and extraordinary comprehension, had already mastered the entire inheritance. With the help of a formation plate and several formation flags obtained from Manager Wan, he set up this psychedelic formation.
Outside the cave, Luo Li looked at the place shrouded in smoke and couldn't help but feel envious...
It would be great if his cave could be equipped with such a formation someday, so that even if robbers come, he will have time to react and escape.
Inside the cave!
Chen Changsheng did not stop, but came to the deepest bedroom, lifted the bed board, and a dark cave appeared.
Chen Changsheng jumped into the cave without hesitation...
Following the dark cave, Chen Changsheng finally came to an open area.
This place is not too big, about fifty or sixty square meters. In the center, there is a clear spring flowing out. If you follow the waterway, you can reach the Long Lake outside!
"Who would have thought that in this inconspicuous Changwei Island, there is only a tiny spiritual vein that is not worth mentioning, but it can actually allow me to dig out a spiritual eye spring... What a son of luck!"
Yes, the Fountain of the Spiritual Eye!
Ever since Chen Changsheng learned the cause of death of the previous island master, he had begun preparing a retreat for himself. He began digging from the cave where he lived, intending to dig a secret passage directly to Dragon Lake. Who would have thought that when he was only halfway through, he would actually uncover such a natural cavity, and inside it was actually a pool of Spirit Eye Spring...
In addition to the Spirit Eye Spring, there are several other Spirit Eye objects, such as the Spirit Eye Tree, the Spirit Eye Stone, the Spirit Eye Jade, etc. These are all magical treasures given by the world to cultivators. They will emit rich spiritual energy on their own, and meditating on them will have twice the result with half the effort!
Rumor has it that this spiritual eye was mutated from the spiritual veins of heaven and earth. Whether this is true or not, Chen Changsheng has no idea.
However, Chen Changsheng was able to successfully cultivate to the peak of the sixth level of Qi training within five years. In addition to the unexpected help from Manager Wan, the Spirit Eye Spring also played an indispensable role!
Originally, this was just a miniature spiritual vein, but with the blessing of the Spirit Eye Spring and the spiritual gathering formation set up by Chen Changsheng, the spiritual energy contained in it was probably no less dense than that of a first-grade upper-grade one...
