Beginning to practice immortality as a refugee

Chapter 504 Banquet
After careful inquiry, Lu Ye learned that after Bilang Jun married a new wife, he was no longer depressed, but became more spirited and became full of energy again.

But he had a problem. He looked at his male disciples in a strict and cold manner, for fear that they would steal his master's wife.

Those male disciples knew that they were violating a taboo, so they usually did not dare to say a word to the mother on the island, and they all hurriedly avoided suspicion.

And Mr. Bilang was only going to die in a few decades.

Now he frequently contacts the lords of the nearby sea areas, and spreads the word that he is willing to welcome a casual cultivator of the Golden Core Stage to become the new lord of Bilang Cape and inherit his mantle after his death.

After Bilangjun's operation, with the help of his old Jindan friends around him, several Jindan Daquan monks who were said to be powerful were willing to take over the position.

There is even a powerful cultivator among these Jindan Daquan cultivators whose background is questionable and who seems to have connections with the Thirty-Six Thieves.

The lords of the surrounding islands, seeing that Bilang-kun was in a state of despair, mostly secretly communicated with Zhongxiang Island, and seemed ready to take sides.

As soon as Bilangjun cheered up and took a series of actions, the situation on Bilang Island was immediately stabilized, and those fence-sitters fell back one after another.

Only the three families near Zhongxiang Island, Qi Yue'er, Shen Shujian, and Wanhuohulu Island Master, wholeheartedly followed Zhongxiang Island.

Especially Qi Yue'er, who was playing two-timing at the beginning, was received by the owner of Zhongxiang Island several times, so she "consciously" became a spy for Zhongxiang Island.

On weekdays, the intelligence about Bilang Island was gathered entirely by the female cultivator Qi Yue'er. Ever since the death of Ren Zeping, the biggest supporter of Bilang Island, and the marriage of Bilang Jun to a new wife, Qi Yue'er decisively defected to Zhongxiang Island.

It is said that her logic of judgment is simple. It is unwise for Bilangjun to only care about marrying a wife and enjoying life. It is feared that before he dies, the owner of Bilang Island will have to change.

There are two Jindan island masters in charge of Zhongxiang Island. Even if they cannot seize the foundation of Bilang Island, they should have no problem in maintaining Zhongxiang Island.

Lu Ye smiled silently after hearing this.

Gui Baozhu definitely doesn't have such a cunning idea as to let Qi Yue'er be the spy. This demon king has always believed in fighting against others if he is not convinced. This must be the idea of ​​Wang Hu, Zhang Cunyi and Shu Chitu.

"Actually, you don't need to do this," Lu Ye shook his head and said, "Let him cheer up or be depressed."

"Once I achieve Nascent Soul, Bilang Island won't be a problem anymore."

Wang Hu shook his head fiercely.

"Brother, you are wrong."

"As the saying goes, you should not have the intention to harm others, but you must be on guard against others."

"Bilang-kun is the only one on the nearby islands who can cause trouble, so we'd better keep an eye on him."

The others nodded.

Lu Ye understood in his heart... Well, these people have no confidence in their ability to achieve Nascent Soul in ten years.

That’s right. After all, the Nascent Soul is not a big carrot. You can’t just dig a hole, bury it, and water it and it will grow.

Lu Ye can only be arranged by them.

"By the way, I haven't shown up for several months."

"Prepare a gift for me tomorrow, and I will show up at Bilang Island to bring the gift. It's time to meet people."

A few people talked about some trivial things on the island.

As the spiritual energy on the island became increasingly abundant, the disciples' cultivation speed increased a lot.

Because of the sufficient supply in the market, although Bilang Island is still the master of this sea area, if you want to be the most prosperous market, you have to look at Zhongxiang Island.

Originally, the main channel deviated from the Bilang Cape waters, but now many businesses specifically go through Zhongxiang Island and have created a channel.

However, there are also hidden concerns. If time goes on for a long time, it will attract hijackers. There have been sporadic incidents of people and goods being hijacked on the waterway before.

After talking about the official business on the island, they turned to talk about the cultivation of several people.

Among several people.

Lan Wutong and Pan Furong are in the foundation-building stage. Lan Wutong is good at fighting and practicing the Lan family's martial arts.

Later, Pan Furong studied under Elder Tiegong and practiced swordsmanship. She held a pair of male and female swords in her hands that could be separated and combined.

After them came Wang Hu, Zhang Cunyi, Shu Chitu and others. They had ample supply of elixirs and no shortage of resources for cultivating immortals.

Elder Tie Gong of Gushan Sect carefully chose the path of cultivation for them.

Wang Hu has hidden spiritual roots in his body and a trace of ancient alien blood, so he was passed on the Liujia Shending physical technique. He followed the path of physical cultivation and gave up the path of poison cultivation.

Zhang Cunyi had no talent for music, and he gave up the music training he learned from the Bulaotong in the Xuanmo Sect. He had a fire spirit root, so he chose the path of magic training, practicing the Fire Snake Galloping Technique.

Shu Chitu is a demon, and he practices a martial art that Elder Tiegong found for him, called the Earth Demon Spirit Ascension Method.

Before the three of them went to the island.

Wang Hu and Zhang Cunyi have reached the seventh level of Qi training, and Shu Chitu is at the sixth level.

For Wang Hulai and Zhang Cunyi, after practicing Taoism for thirty years, they have reached the seventh level of Qi training, which is considered a rapid progress among normal practitioners.

After arriving on the island, the cultivation of several people made rapid progress.

It’s not that their understanding has improved, nor is it that Lu Ye has provided them with a more advanced panacea.

Because the flesh is a bag, no matter how good the elixir is, it is like external water, no matter how much water there is, they cannot withstand the medicinal power.

The main thing is that the cultivation environment for several people has improved, and not just a little bit better, but a lot better.

It turned out that thanks to the spirit gathering array that Lu Ye had set up at the top of the earth veins in the middle of the island, the concentration of spiritual energy in these two towers was the highest on the entire island.

The outside world believed that the spiritual vein of Zhongxiang Island was of the second level, and that the island owners of Zhongxiang Island, Lu Ye and Gui Baozhu, had gotten a great bargain.

No one knows that this spiritual vein is actually of the third level. As long as a spirit gathering array is set up, it will be enough to support the cultivation of Nascent Soul cultivators.

After Lu Ye set up the spirit gathering array, the concentration of spiritual energy at the two high towers increased by half a level.

It is enough to support his cultivation to the Great Perfection of the Golden Elixir, and even with the addition of Gui Baozhu's spiritual energy, there is still plenty.

Although it is not as good as Gui Baozhu's original location of the Shuangyue Mountain Cave Mansion in the Mozhu Secret Realm, it does not hinder his practice according to the standards of this world.

Lu Ye then placed Pan Furong, Wang Hu, Zhang Cunyi, Shu Chitu, Lan Wutong and Zhang Biao in the tower to share the abundant spiritual energy.

You know, except for Lan Wutong and Pan Furong who are foundation-building cultivators, the rest are still Qi-cultivating cultivators.

A few Qi training monks are able to practice in spiritual veins that are large enough for Nascent Soul monks to cultivate. If outsiders knew about this, they would probably faint from jealousy.

Apart from anything else, if Lu Ye gave a quota to the surrounding foundation-building island masters, they would not have to practice every day. Even if he gave them three to five days a month, those island masters would all turn to his side and abandon Bilang Jun like a straw sandal.

If the amount of spiritual energy absorbed and released in a day by an initial stage foundation building cultivator is taken as one, then in this spirit gathering formation, the amount of spiritual energy that Lan Wutong and Pan Furong can absorb in a day is between thirty and fifty.

Only half of the energy can actually be used by the two of them, and what limits their progress in cultivation is the strength of their spiritual awareness.

The practice of these two in one day is equivalent to that of an ordinary foundation-building cultivator in ten days.

This is still the limit of the two of them, not the limit of the spirit gathering formation!
Because in the spirit gathering array there are Jindan powerhouses like Lu Ye and Gui Baozhu, each of them can absorb up to three hundred shares of spiritual energy!
Even so, the combined strength of the two did not reach the limit of the Spirit Gathering Array.

The two of them had evaluated this spiritual vein at the beginning. With the power of the Spirit Gathering Array, it could provide the standard 900 shares of spiritual energy for an initial stage Foundation Establishment cultivator. This was indeed enough for an initial stage Nascent Soul cultivator to practice.

If you stay in this environment every day, it would be hard not to make rapid progress in your practice.

Why do those famous sects have a constant supply of talented people? Why do all kinds of geniuses continue to appear from generation to generation?
In addition to the good spiritual roots in his body, the reason is that he occupies the spiritual veins of the blessed land.

As for Wang Hu, Zhang Cunyi and Shu Chitu, they are all practicing Qigong and cannot even practice in the core of the tower. They can only absorb spiritual energy and achieve a balance between the magic power in their bodies by going to the edge.

However, they practiced in the tower in an environment with enough spiritual energy for Nascent Soul cultivators to cultivate. In a day, they could absorb a hundred times more spiritual energy than a casual cultivator from the outside world. The only difference was that the strength of their spiritual consciousness could not keep up with the skyrocketing magic power.

Therefore, after practicing in the tower for a few days, one must leave the tower and harmonize yin and yang.

In this way, more than a year passed, and for some of them, it was like practicing for decades.

Of course, this is also because their starting point is too low.

In the world of cultivating immortals, no ancestor or leader is willing to "waste" spiritual energy on his younger disciples to practice in this way.

Because the spiritual vein itself will dry up over time.

Usually sects or families seal their spirit veins heavily and open the seals when they need to be used, spending within their means.

But Lu Yeshede had no choice but to believe that there were not many cultivators on Zhongxiang Island. Those who had migrated here at first were mainly cultivators from the Lan family, and there were no more than 120 of them.

After landing on the island, they absorbed disciples from nearby islands and passing cultivators. Excluding the cultivators who were lost in various situations, there were only about two hundred people.

This scale is only slightly larger than the original Xuanmo Sect, and is far from the scale of a formal Jindan sect.

Lu Ye has enough spiritual energy to provide for his own people to practice.

He did not really intend to establish a sect and claim to be the founder of a clan. It was enough for him to have a few subordinates to command.

For a cultivator, strengthening oneself is the most fundamental thing. No matter how many disciples you have, they cannot help you break through the realm and face the heavenly tribulation. They can only make it easier for you to collect resources.

However, there are many kind-hearted people in the world, and Lu Ye has no shortage of resources for cultivating immortals.

When Wang Hu saw Lu Ye asking them about their cultivation, he immediately patted his chest.

"Brother, we didn't embarrass you. Now my third and fourth brothers and I have reached the great perfection of Qi training."

"I have a feeling that I will be able to reach the foundation building stage soon."

Zhang Cunyi and Shu Chitu nodded and indicated that their cultivation progress was the same.

Luye was overjoyed.

"Okay, when you have achieved the foundation, I will teach you the skills."

"Lian Furong and Wu Tong just happened to change their training together."

The skills that Elder Tie Gong taught the four people were all the precious skills of the Gushan Sect.

However, Elder Tiegong was only at the great perfection of foundation building back then. Lu Ye is now at the great perfection of golden elixir, and he has seen many kind-hearted people, and he has collected a lot of jade tablets of cultivation techniques.

The precious skills of the Gushan Sect were no longer of his interest.

Several people were overjoyed.

Wang Hu laughed.

"Brother, you must choose well for us."

"We became sworn brothers. When we were practicing martial arts in the mortal world, we were all great martial artists, but you have become a master. You are running too fast!"

"When you start practicing, you will be like someone who has grown wings, and you will have achieved the Five Hundred Years Golden Elixir. We still need your help to reach the threshold of foundation building. The difference is too big."

"It won't look good if you tell others about it."

Luye laughed loudly.

"Okay, just study hard and don't worry about other things."

"There are the Seven Buddhas on Futu Island. We may be able to produce a few Yuanying Zhenren to take charge of Zhongxiang Island in the future."

Everyone burst into laughter, thinking that Lu Ye was just joking. They chatted for a while before dispersing.

Lu Yezi and Pan Furong spent a night of tenderness.

Day two.

He left the island in high spirits, and Lan Wutong followed him, and the two flew straight to Bilang Island.

Lord Bilang has a new wife, and the lords of the nearby islands have already sent gifts.

Since Lu Ye had a legitimate reason for seclusion before, it is understandable that he came to pay the gift as soon as he came out.

Waiting to get outside the island.

The two of them fell into the light of escape.

Lu Ye closed his eyes to rest, while Lan Wutong stepped forward and told the disciple opposite him his name so that he could pass on the message.

On Nakago Island.

Lu Ye rarely shows up. He is either in seclusion in a cave or outside the island wearing a vest and looking for kind people.

Gui Baozhu guards the high tower formation and never cares about trivial matters.

Lan Wu is responsible for both dealing with external cultivators and managing internal disciples, and he does a good job.

The people who migrated from the mortal world were managed by Fan Buju, and everything was always safe.

The disciple opposite recognized Lan Wutong, took the visiting card, and hurried in to report.

After a while.

A beam of light flew out from the island, and before anyone arrived, he laughed.

"Friend Lu, we haven't seen each other for many years. You are such a rare guest. Please come in quickly..."

Lu Ye looked up and saw that the person coming was none other than Bilangjun, the cuckolded victim who was famous throughout the East China Sea.

This old man used to like wearing green clothes, but maybe because of the tragic incident, he now likes to wear red clothes.

But it does suit his status as an old groom.

His wrinkled face was radiant, and the sparse white hair on his head was painted black with chemicals, making him look decades younger.

In addition, he was accompanied by Kun Xiu, who looked like a young woman. She was also wearing a red robe and was very pretty. If you look closely, you can really find some resemblance to the former Madam Susu.

Bilangjun enthusiastically stepped forward, grabbed Lu Ye’s hand, and introduced him.

"Friend Lu, this is my new wife, her name is Hongxiu."

"You were in retreat at the time and couldn't attend the party. It was a pity."

"We are here today, so we can make up for the wine."

Lu Ye smiled and nodded in response.

The relationship between the two was not good, it was even bad.

No matter what Bilangjun is thinking, we should not hit anyone who smiles at us. Let's see what he does.

Even if we enter the island, if the old man has the evil intention of using magic circle to capture people, then he will be pushed to the gates of hell in advance.

Madam Hongxiu bowed to Lu Ye, feeling a little uneasy. She still had some of the stiffness of a female disciple and seemed not used to the change in her identity to the wife of the island master.

Several people entered the island together.

There used to be large tracts of peach trees, a specialty of Bilang Island. Lu Ye had seen them when he explored the island with Taoist Mi Yan.

Now, the peach forest that former Madam Susu loved so much has been uprooted and replaced with paulownia trees, which symbolizes good luck and appeal.

It seems that although Bilang-kun has "cheered up", his recovery is probably limited and the thorn in his heart is still not removed.

Lu Ye thinks back to the past and has no regrets.

It is truly cruel to let this old man wear the hat without knowing it. I should be considered as helping him - right?
The group entered the main hall on the island.

Then he looked at the few people already sitting in the hall.

Bilangjun introduced Luye enthusiastically.

"Master Lu, since you came to Bilang Cape and settled down, you have been in seclusion almost all day long and don't even recognize the good neighbors around you!"

"Let me introduce you. This is the Black Mountain Reverend from Black Mountain Island..."

"This is Master Huoyun from Huoyun Island, and next to him is the Ironclad Shrimp King from Prawn Island..."

Lu Ye smiled and nodded, saying he had met them all.

In fact, he had already seen Cheng Bingyan at the banquet to welcome Ren Zeping.

However, while the other Jindan masters were drinking in the hall, he and Taoist Miyan could only sit in the corner of the courtyard outside.

The three Jindans saw Lu Ye, the lord of Zhongxiang Island, for the first time, and looked at him with curious and vigilant eyes.

Everyone knows that this person is not someone who will keep quiet.

Bilang-kun did not hide the fact that Lu Yeqiang dragged him out of the island to become their friend.

A cultivator who can subdue a Jindan cultivator of the same level in an instant is naturally worthy of their attention. This means that if they fight one-on-one, the head on their neck will not be safe at any time.

Lu Ye sensed a slight hostility from the few people, but didn't take it seriously.

Once he played those trump cards, wiping them all out would only take a few more strikes.

Bilang Jun now introduced the last person, a young man in a white robe with a golden elixir-like appearance. This person had a thin face, a pointed chin, eyes like copper bells, and fine scales could be seen on both sides of his cheeks. It was obvious at first glance that he was a demon king.

He was a stranger, Lu Ye had never seen him before, and he muttered to himself - this person looked a bit like the face he had pinched for Taoist Miyan.

It turns out there really are strange creatures that grow up like this.

Bilang-kun laughed.

"Come, Island Master Lu, let me introduce this fellow Taoist to you."

"This is a young leader of the Black Water King Snake clan, his Taoist name is She Feng."

"You two should get closer..."

She Feng snorted coldly and glanced at Lu Ye, looking quite arrogant with a hint of murderous intent.

Lu Ye didn't care. A young genius of the sea clan?
Can he compare with Prince Hong He and Prince Long Bing?
What about the Black Water King Snake?
It’s not like I haven’t had that soup before. It tastes delicious, that’s all.

After everyone exchanged greetings, they took their seats. Lord Bilang served new wine and banquet. The sound of string instruments began, and dancers came in and began to dance.

Everyone was drinking and chatting.

Lan Wu communicated via telepathy.

"Master, I heard that She Feng was introduced to the Iron-Armored Shrimp King of Shrimp Island, and he has reached the Great Perfection of the Golden Elixir."

“He is the most likely candidate to become the new owner of Bilang Island in a few decades.”

"It is said that he has some background and seems to be very prestigious among the robbery cultivators."

"Mr. Bilang and Mrs. Hongxiu are very satisfied with him."

Lu Ye's mouth twitched when he heard this.

What the hell is this? Madam Hongxiu is very satisfied.

Could it be that Bilang-kun is going to perform a hat trick?
Lu Ye transmitted the message through his spiritual consciousness.

"I don't think this guy can live longer than Bilang-kun."

"Master, why is this?"

"Master had a junior fellow disciple in Xuanmo Sect before, named Shechu, who was a short-lived ghost. His name is unlucky at first glance..."

Lan Wutong: “…”
