"No, the lines seem a little off..."
"Da Huang, Da Huang, quickly spit out your demon pill and let me observe it..."
"This is really strange. I clearly have a photographic memory, but I just can't remember the patterns on your demon pill!"
"No, it's not just that I can't remember, I simply forget it the moment I turn my head. Your danwen is really weird!"
"Woof!"
Chen Changsheng waved at Da Huang, who obediently spit out the demon pill. Chen Changsheng stared intently at the pill pattern, as if trying to imprint it in his mind. However, no matter how hard he tried to remember it, it would blur in the blink of an eye, and after a while, he would forget it completely...
"Hmm, this is a little off. The arc of this turn needs to be a little smaller... and this way..."
With Dahuang's demon pill as a reference for comparison, depicting the void patterns on the array plate becomes more intuitive and clear.
However, because he forgot the pattern so quickly, he could only compare and depict it bit by bit...
Every stroke he made deepened his memory of the formation pattern. Chen Changsheng believed that as long as he kept copying it like this, one day he would be able to master the void pattern on the Dahuang Demon Pill.
"It should be almost done this time. Well, let's try the effect..." Chen Changsheng used this array plate as the foundation, rearranged a formation, and then started it.
"Huh? Why did it suddenly get dark?"
"What's going on? I just saw a lot of people outside the palace, how come everything suddenly disappeared?"
"I'm not on duty in front of the palace, so where is this place?"
As Chen Changsheng's formation was activated, the Qi-cultivating cultivators who were enveloped in the formation were suddenly terrified.
"Done?"
"No, it's still a little short..."
"Although this formation is filled with some void power, which can affect the senses of the cultivators within it, the power of the formation has not been substantially improved. It still looks like a second-grade upper-grade..."
"What is this? A half-step third-level formation?"
"It's really not that easy to break through to this third-level formation master. I need to put more effort into improving the power of the formation..."
Chen Changsheng shook his head slightly, then removed the formation. Immediately, the cultivators who were shrouded in the formation returned to their original state as if they had just had a dream...
"Everyone, don't panic. The leader was just testing the formation. Everyone should perform their duties and not leave without permission!"
After a while, everyone received a notification from Huang Feng...
As for Luo Qing, she is no longer on Lingxi Island. After being successfully persuaded by Chen Changsheng, she has already set off for Yuezhou City.
"So it turns out that the leader is experimenting with formations!"
"No wonder he's so powerful. I heard the leader is a top-grade second-level formation master!"
"As expected of the number one in Longhu, his strength is truly impressive!"
“…”
Everyone was flattering Chen Changsheng on the surface, but deep down, they were actually panicking...
The reason is very simple. Chen Changsheng killed the direct descendant of the foundation-building master in Sanyang City!
The number one person in Longhu is indeed powerful, but compared to Sanyang City, he is not even on the same level...
Over the past month or so, Vice Alliance Leader Gu has reportedly begun sending some of his elite disciples, hiding their identities and sending them away from Dragon Lake, in order to leave a way out for the Seventy-Two Islands Alliance...
As for them...
They are basically abandoned. If Sanyang City attacks, they will probably be the first to die...
However, even so, they did not have too many complaints.
This is the advantage of a cultivation family. They are dedicated to the family and have a strong sense of cohesion. In order to cultivate family masters, many Qigong cultivators have never even tasted the taste of elixirs in their entire lives. They work hard and the little spirit stones they earn are all provided to the family elite...
"Alliance leader, I've already notified everyone. Also, in the past few days, Lingxi Island has sent over the bodies of twelve Qi-cultivating cultivators. Eight of them died of natural causes, and the other four died in accidents!"
"In addition to the Qi-cultivating cultivators, there are also sixty-two ordinary mortals. Some have exhausted their lifespans, while others have died violent deaths!"
"They are now on display in the corpse storage hall behind the palace!" Huang Feng reported to Chen Changsheng.
Huang Feng was very nervous...
The leader actually has necrophilia...
And it has been going on for many years...
In fact, Huang Feng even secretly criticized Chen Changsheng in his heart, wondering if he was actually a demon cultivator like Song Xing?
Who would be interested in a corpse as a serious monk?
Only the legendary demon cultivators would use corpses to refine some sinister magical weapon or practice some evil magic...
Although he was nervous, he dared not disobey the leader's orders and could only obey!
Not only him, but the entire Seventy-two Islands Alliance must obey!
"Okay, I understand. I'll be there soon. You can send all the bodies back tomorrow!" Chen Changsheng nodded.
This is the benefit of controlling a certain power and owning a large island...
He didn't have to worry about the source of the corpses. As long as he wanted them, they would naturally be delivered to his door, and he didn't even have to kill anyone...
On Lingxi Island, there are more than ten thousand cultivators and hundreds of thousands of mortals!
If the population of the surrounding scattered islands is added, the number can be doubled!
What is the concept?
It can be said that basically every day, new monks and new people are born, and similarly, people die almost every day...
Chen Changsheng ordered that all the dead should not be buried immediately, but should be sent to him first, and then they would be returned to their families one by one.
At the beginning, this order was resisted by almost everyone.
But the world of immortal cultivation is a strange world where great power is attributed to oneself. As the leader of the Seventy-two Islands Alliance and the most powerful person in Longhu, Chen Changsheng's words are more effective than the imperial edicts of mortal emperors. Not to mention just asking for corpses, even if he kills people for fun every day, they can only accept it...
But slowly, as Chen Changsheng completed more and more last wishes, almost everyone was willing to send the bodies of the deceased to Chen Changsheng.
Because, whenever a body is sent here, in most cases, the family of the deceased will receive help from the alliance!
Ordinary people would be given gold and silver to support the deceased, the elderly, their children, and sometimes even to married women...
As for cultivators, they are usually given techniques, spirit stones, elixirs, and other things that are helpful for cultivation...
No one is a fool. Who wouldn't be happy to receive such benefits just by delivering a corpse?
Gradually, Chen Changsheng's policy actually developed into a benevolent policy. Even some cultivators from islands far away from Lingxi Island would send their deceased relatives to Lingxi Island. Chen Changsheng naturally accepted all of them. The efficiency of completing the last wish missions reached as high as 80%. The rewards from the last wish were lifespan, talent, spiritual roots, and the cultivation of immortal arts. They all madly enhanced Chen Changsheng's immortal cultivation foundation...
