Huangsha Island, Xianhu Pavilion!
"It's been five days, five days already, and there's still no news from uncle. What happened?"
Song Xing paced back and forth, no longer as calm as before.
"Young Master, don't worry. Your uncle is a foundation-building ancestor. There will definitely not be any accidents!" The seventh elder comforted him.
"Yes, young master, Chen Changsheng is only in the Qi training stage. Even if he has the snake bead, he can't pose a threat to the foundation-building ancestor!" Lao Ba also followed.
"But it's been five days, and there's still no news..."
"No, we must go and find out the truth. Lao Ba, you have been to Changwei Island once, so you should go this time!" Song Xing gave the order impatiently.
"But, young master, in what name should I do this?" Lao Ba frowned.
"Just prepare a gift in the name of Emerald Island. Chen Changsheng shouldn't make things difficult for you." Song Xing said.
"Okay, I'll go right away!" Lao Ba nodded.
Changwei Island!
"Are you sent by the Emerald Island Master to visit my island master?"
"Sorry, my island owner is not here. He's gone on a long journey!"
Luo Li received Lao Ba and politely invited him to his cave, then accepted the gift with a smile...
Well, since the boss is not here, it is reasonable for me, Luo Li, to collect the gifts on his behalf!
"Traveling far? Why would Fellow Daoist Chen suddenly travel far away? When did he leave?" Old Eight was stunned...
Could it be that Patriarch Song Lian didn't find Chen Changsheng on Changwei Island, so he followed him on his journey?
"I went there four days ago. As for the reason...how could the island owner tell us his subordinates in detail when doing things?" Luo Li said with a smile.
"Four days ago? Are you sure it's four days ago?" Old Eight suddenly stood up...
Four days ago?
Patriarch Song Lian had come to find Chen Changsheng five days ago. He should still be here at that time!
"Indeed, it was four days ago. Before leaving, the island owner asked me to guard Changwei Island for him!" Luo Li nodded.
"So... so that's how it is. Congratulations, fellow Daoist. To be favored by Daoist Chen, you must have a bright future." Lao Ba's expression was a little reluctant...
He realized that perhaps something might have happened to Patriarch Song Lian...
“I dare not, I dare not…”
The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, but Lao Ba was already in no mood and left immediately...
————————————
"Left Changwei Island four days ago? Is this news true?" Song Xing almost rushed to Lao Ba and grabbed his collar, which showed his inner rage...
"Indeed..."
"The current person in charge on Changwei Island, Luo Li, is said to have been Chen Changsheng's neighbor on Shouyang Mountain and was deeply trusted by him. What he said should be true..." Lao Ba said with a wry smile.
"It's over... Uncle... might really be in trouble..."
Song Xing's face turned pale...
The Song family was already in a precarious situation, and now another pillar of support had fallen...
"Young Master, please inform the Master immediately..." Old Seven's lips were trembling...
Really, something big happened!
"I'm going back in person..."
"Seventh Brother, you come with me. Eighth Brother, you stay here and keep an eye on Changwei Island. Do you understand?" Song Xing said.
"Yes, young master, I understand!" Lao Ba said hurriedly.
Lingxi Island Market!
The Han family's underground fire chamber!
"Fellow Daoist Chen is here to refine pills again. He's so diligent. Please come in quickly, Fire Room A7 is empty now!"
Han Chong, who was guarding the Han family's underground fire chamber, saw Chen Changsheng coming and hurried to greet him.
"Haha, thank you, Fellow Daoist Han Chong!"
Chen Changsheng smiled and saluted Han Chong, only to see a small porcelain bottle accidentally fall into Han Chong's hands...
When it comes to dealing with human relationships and worldly affairs, Chen Changsheng has a very good grasp of it.
Ever since he learned that the Underground Fire Chamber was divided into four levels, A, B, C, and D, Chen Changsheng had been trying every possible way to build a good relationship with Han Chong, who managed the Underground Fire Chamber. He would give him a few worthless small Yuan-nourishing Pills every time, but he would get him to keep the best Underground Fire Chamber for him, and he could use it for an unlimited time. Where else could he find such a good thing...
Inside the No. 7 underground fire chamber.
Chen Changsheng used his public power for personal gain and occupied the best earth fire room, of course to make pills for himself!
He skillfully placed the alchemy furnace on the earth fire, then pinched his fingers to control the earth fire formation and spit out flames.
The scorching earth fire began to burn the alchemy furnace and soon reached the temperature Chen Changsheng wanted.
"The ground fire in the Jia-shaped good room is really good. It's stable and has a high temperature. Originally, the success rate for refining the Yellow Spirit Pill was only about 70%, but now it can reach 80%. Moreover, the success rate of the pill is higher and the defective rate is lower. It's really a good thing. If only I could have it for a long time..."
"This Lingxi Island is truly a treasure land. It's one of the largest islands in Longhu Lake. It has both a second-grade, top-grade spiritual vein and an underground fire chamber... It's said that beneath Lingxi Island, there's also a underground fire evil pool. And every thirty years, it breeds an underground fire evil, which is a foundation-building spiritual object!"
"It can be said that Lingxi Island is even more blessed than Shouyang Mountain. It is probably one of the most famous spiritual places in the entire Yuezhou. It's great..."
Chen Changsheng's eyes lit up...
To be honest, he was attracted by this sacred place!
If he could have such a spiritual place to practice after building his foundation, he would be so happy and satisfied...
In the blink of an eye, another furnace of Huanglingdan was refined...
As for the small Peiyuan Pill for the Han family's mission?
There's no need to use the precious earth fire chamber. When I have nothing to do, I can just burn some spiritual charcoal at home. It's very simple to refine anyway...
The tasks assigned by the Han family weren't very difficult, and his alchemy speed was very fast. Furthermore, the Han family thought he had a 20% to 30% success rate, but it turned out he had a 90% or even higher success rate. He only needed to spend a small amount of time to complete the tasks assigned by the Han family. Most of the time, of course, he was still doing his own things...
"I've been on Lingxi Island for over a month now, and I've gotten a pretty good idea of the situation there. It's time to take action and clear out the inventory..."
"Fortunately, this is the Lingxi Island Market, which is prosperous enough and has many cultivators coming and going. If I sell some things slowly, it won't attract attention. If it were on Huangsha Island, it would be difficult to hide myself..." Chen Changsheng muttered to himself.
He came to Lingxi Island not only to practice, but also to deal with the spoils of war...
There are three main sources of spoils. The first wave comes from Shopkeeper Wan, which is mainly sundries. The second wave comes from the Star-Breaking Thieves, which are mainly magic weapons. The third wave is the treasures contributed by the good man Song Lian.
Song Lian's things rarely need to be sold, but those miscellaneous items and magic tools are really useless to keep on him, and they also take up space...
As the sky gradually darkened, Chen Changsheng came out of the underground fire room and met Han Chong head-on.
He knew that Han Chong stayed here specifically to wait for him!
"Has Fellow Daoist Chen finished refining the elixir?" Han Chong asked with a smile.
"Yes, Fellow Daoist Han, see you later!"
Chen Changsheng smiled and greeted him, and then handed a few small Peiyuan Pills to Han Chong.
Watching Chen Changsheng leave, Han Chong rubbed his hands excitedly...
"The elixir my son laid the foundation for is here again. Fellow Daoist Chen is truly a good man!"
Han Chong himself is a cultivator in the late stage of Qi training and does not need the Xiao Pei Yuan Dan, but his son needs it...
Although the Han family controls Lingxi Island and is a wealthy family, they also have many members. Family resources are based on spiritual root qualifications. The better the qualifications, the more they get...
He himself had mid-grade spiritual roots, so he cultivated to the late stage of Qi training under the family's training. Unfortunately, his son only had low-grade spiritual roots, making it difficult for him to receive family training. He could only rely on himself to work hard to earn spirit stones...
Han Chong's life is actually a reflection of the lives of most cultivators.
He was actually quite good. At the very least, he was a master in the late stage of Qi training, and he had the Han family as his backer. He was more likely similar to the Zhou family that Chen Changsheng had encountered before. Dozens of people in the family lived frugally, and the spirit stones they earned as spirit plant husbands were not even spent on themselves. They were all used to train someone who could revitalize the family...
Unfortunately, the efforts of several generations of the Zhou family came to nothing with the Battle of Shouyang Mountain...
