I am cultivating both immortality and martial arts

Chapter 75 Taoyuan Island

three days later

After handing over all matters, Zhang Ming, the former Taiwu Lake Fishing Ground garrison, left the place in a hurry.

Looking at the back of the other party flying into the sky, Lu Xian had a strange feeling.

Shaking his head, Lu Xian returned to the vicinity of the fishing ground, only to see an old man with gray hair and a group of people waiting for him.

After seeing Lu Xian, the group of people immediately paid respects under the leadership of the old man, "Little old man Uncle Meng, bring the villagers of Taoyuan Village to visit the immortal master."

Lu Xian glanced at the group of people kneeling on the ground. This group of people was the team left for him by the previous generation of guards.

"Get up, don't kneel at every turn in the future, I don't like this."

After Lu Xian finished speaking, Uncle Meng, who took the lead, carefully glanced at Lu Xian's face, stood up and shouted to the crowd behind him, "Didn't you hear what Master Xian said? Hurry up!"

After everyone stood respectfully and respectfully, Lu Xian looked at the group of people in front of him. There were men and women in this group, and they looked like villagers, but many of them had martial arts cultivation.

Especially the white-haired old man Uncle Meng, who is the leader, is a monk, although he only has one level of Qi training.

Lu Xian only called the leader, the white-haired old man Uncle Meng, and the two walked along the edge of the fishing ground one after the other.

Along the way, the old man introduced the situation here to Lu Xian.

The island is called Taoyuan Island, and there is a low-grade spirit vein on the island. At the same time, there is a fishing ground that occupies half of the island. This fishing ground can produce a kind of spiritual fish called "Golden Thread Carp" every year, which belongs to the isolated population. One of Yangzong's industries in the outside world.

Of course, compared with the industries in other areas of Liyangfang City, the annual output of this fishing ground is very small, otherwise it would not just send a Qi training disciple to garrison.

Even because the level of the spirit vein here is too low, the disciples in the sect don't like it at all, and few are willing to come here to garrison, and they have been here for several years.

Only those with special circumstances like Lu Xian would take the initiative to apply to be stationed here.

As for the villagers like Uncle Meng, their ancestors were natives on the shore, and it was also because the garrison needed people to breed spirit fish manually, which attracted a group of mortals to the island.

After a few more generations, these mortals thrived here and gradually formed a village.

"... We have received the kindness of the immortal masters for generations, so we are not disturbed by external wars. Today, there are more than 120 people on the island, 27 of whom have martial arts skills, and only one young man is a Qi refiner. They all serve the immortal master." At the end, Uncle Meng bowed to the ground with a very respectful expression.

After listening to Uncle Meng's introduction, Lu Xian had a clearer understanding of this place. He pondered for a moment and said, "Since this is the case, the fishing ground here will continue to be taken care of by you. Don't neglect it."

Meng Bo repeatedly should be.

Lu Xian said again: "I will be stationed here for five years. During this period, no one who has anything to do is allowed to disturb you, and you are not allowed to leak information about this island to anyone."

"Yes! I would like to obey the orders of the immortal masters." Uncle Meng is also an old man, and he knows that these immortal masters come from a sect called "Li Yangzong". Replace with a new fairy master.

Then he said with some anxiety: "Master Immortal, what about testing the spirit roots of children in Taoyuan Village every year?"

Lu Xian knew this from Zhang Ming a long time ago. This is also an agreement between the first generation of guards and the villagers of Taoyuan Village, that is, to test the spiritual roots of school-age children in Taoyuan Village every year, and those who have spiritual roots can teach the method of practicing Qi.

Lu Xian nodded and said: "I already know about this, every three years on the first day of the first lunar month, you bring the children, and I will abide by the original agreement."

Uncle Meng was overjoyed, and bowed deeply again, "The immortal master's kindness and virtue, I will never forget it in Taoyuan Village."

Lu Xian just waved his hands, and with a wave of his sleeves, he floated up and fell into a bamboo building with the most beautiful scenery and elegant shape in the village. At the same time, an erratic voice came out, "This island formation I will take care of it myself, you have nothing to disturb, go back!"

With just a few words, Uncle Meng could figure out the character of this immortal teacher, so he naturally didn't propose to send the girl of the right age in the village to the immortal teacher as a maidservant, but respectfully bowed in Lu Xian's direction After bowing, he turned and left.

Lu Xian looked at the sparkling fishing ground in front of him again. After standing upright for a while, he returned to the house, tidied up briefly, and sat up cross-legged in meditation.

A few days later, Lu Xian stopped cultivating, feeling that his cultivation had hardly increased, he couldn't help shaking his head, no wonder Zhang Ming left in such a hurry, the effect of cultivating here is astonishingly slow.

"There is only a mere first-level low-grade spiritual vein, and I am afraid that it is far inferior to the outskirts of Liyangfang City. Three years of cultivation here are only worth one year in the sect."

Lu Xian strolled out of the bamboo house, only to see green willows outside the bamboo house, a clear lake reflected in his eyes, and spirit carp swimming happily in the lake.

Lu Xian stretched out his hand to grab it, and a golden thread carp flew out of the lake and fell into his hand.

This fish is very beautiful. There are two long whiskers around the mouth of the fish. The body of the fish is slender and gorgeous, and the whole body is radiant. There is a long golden line extending from the top of the head to the tail, so it is named "Golden Line Carp".

Of course, the reason why this fish is the property of the Liyang Sect is because the flesh of the fish is rich in spiritual power, and it is a very precious spiritual fish.

"Master Immortal." At this time, a man from Taoyuan Village hurried over, and when he saw Lu Xianhou, he immediately cupped his hands and saluted.

Lu Xian threw the fish in his hand to him, "Stew the fish and make a pot of fish soup."

"Yes." The man held the golden thread carp in both hands and trotted towards the village.

In the evening, the village chief Meng Bo personally delivered a pot of delicious fish soup.

The only advantage of this place is that you can "guard yourself and steal yourself". As the manager of the fishery, it's okay to eat a few spirit fish occasionally, as long as you pay enough shares when it's due.

As for whether there will be any villagers stealing them, all the spirit fish in this fishing ground are numbered, except for Lu Xian, a cultivator who is eligible to enjoy them, ordinary villagers do not have this treatment.

Under the moonlight, Lu Xian sat by the river, drank a glass of fine wine, ate a mouthful of fish soup, felt the traces of aura growing in the flesh and blood, and didn't know that the sky was getting darker.

In the following period of time, Lu Xian occasionally inspected the fishery. This fishery covers an area of ​​more than 100 mu, and the bottom is connected to Taiwu Lake, but it is blocked by a formation at the water inlet. The villagers with the best water skills are responsible for taking care of them.

"The Zongmen's target is [-] golden thread carps, so if the survival rate is high enough, I still have a 'surplus' of more than a dozen per year."

Lu Xian rubbed his chin. This is the invisible benefit of being stationed here, otherwise, anyone who is thrown into this place where nothing shits like shit will be full of resentment.

At least Lu Xian didn't believe that when the former guard Zhang Ming left, he didn't bring any local specialties in his storage bag.

"It's a pity that this kind of spirit fish is only the lowest-level one. When converted into spirit stones, each one is only three or four yuan, and the income is pitifully small."

For Lu Xian, who had a lot of money in his pocket, the mere annual income of dozens of spirit stones was no longer a big deal.

However, the reason why Lu Xian chose this place in the first place naturally had his own intentions.
