Cultivation begins with separation.

Chapter 255 Trading
Qinghai, the fairy island of Yaochi.

The entire Yaochi Fairy Island covers an area of more than 30 million square kilometers.

Because of the existence of the large lake Yaochi, the land area is less than one-third.

It has been three years since Yijia Kanshui arrived at the Yaochi Fairy Island in the 281st year.

During these three years, the Fairy Island of Yao Chi has changed its appearance after being renovated by the Yi family.

First there was the problem of spiritual veins. Originally, there were no spiritual veins in the Yao Chi Fairy Island, and the Yi family brought a lot of spiritual sources.

Nowadays, second-level or even third-level spiritual veins have been built in many places on the Yao Chi Fairy Island.

Relying on the spiritual veins, the Yi family built fairy cities one after another, using the fairy cities as nodes and establishing a huge formation covering the entire island.

Taichu Zixing's nearly two million warships are always deployed within the range of the formation.

And Huanglong Island is the core of the formation.

Huanglong Island, in a large house in the capital.

Several Buddhist practitioners from Dajue Lingshan and Yi Taizhen and others were discussing something.

"You mean, my Yi family will help you build a large number of temples, and you will help us train Buddhist practitioners?"

Yi Taizhen looked at the Buddhist cultivator who called himself Jingkong and frowned slightly.
“It’s not enough to just build temples, but we also need to build spiritual veins in each temple.

Don’t you think your request is too much?”

"The head of the family is right. We don't have many spiritual sources. The spiritual veins of many fairy cities in Yao Chi are still second-level spiritual veins. How can we have spiritual sources to build temples for your Buddhist sect?"

The elders of the Yi family all spoke out in rebuttal.

"Amitabha!"

After chanting a Buddhist name, Master Jingkong said:

"The war has been going on for more than a year now. All the previous ones were just tests. It's about to enter a white-hot stage. I think your Yi family is in great need of immortal cultivators. We in the Buddhist sect have more than 30 million monks above the Vajra realm.

I think that if the war continues, your Yi family will also need our Buddhist help.

What's more, your efficiency in training immortal cultivators is too low. After three years of training, hundreds of thousands of local immortal cultivators in Yao Chi are basically Qi-refining immortal cultivators.

Let me ask you, even if those Qi-refining cultivators rely on formations, what damage can they cause to the fleets of the ten great families?
By the time those cultivators achieve Golden Elixir and Nascent Soul stage, the war might have ended long ago.

What's worse, if Yao Chi falls into the hands of the ten major families, those Yao Chi cultivators that you have cultivated at great cost will become the other party's people.

If you give us those cultivation resources, I promise to support you with 10,000 Nirvana-level Buddhist practitioners every year, which is equivalent to the foundation-building stage."

The elders of the Yi family immediately started arguing, implying that they did not want to provide resources, but also wanted the Buddhist sect to contribute.

Yi Taizhen didn't say anything. He was thinking about what Master Jingkong said.

Nowadays, the strongest defense forces in the Yao Chi Islands include Taichu Zixing's warship fleet and the Buddhist puppets that control the pagoda.

The twelve most powerful Buddhist puppets in the pagoda tower used formations to forcefully block several attacks from the ten Yuanying masters of the Great Dao.

Of course, Yi Taizhen knew that the ten Yuanying of the Great Dao did not actually set foot on the Yaochi Fairy Island because they were afraid of the old man Guantian.

If not for this, the ten Yuanying of the Great Dao would have already invaded the Yao Chi Fairy Island.

The ten great families sent part of their fleets to attack, but they were also blocked by Taichu Zixing's fleet with difficulty.

In addition to the Taichu Zixing Fleet and the power of the Futu Buddhist practitioners, the Yi family is followed by more than 30 million Buddhist practitioners and the Yi family's immortal cultivators.

Since these more than 30 million Buddhist practitioners arrived at the Yao Chi Fairy Island, they have simply stopped obeying the Yi family's orders.

Fortunately, due to the threat from the Buddha Tower and the Taichu Zixing warship, they did not dare to do anything to the Yi family.

Yi Taizhen also needs to deal seriously with the issue of more than 30 million Buddhist practitioners.

Now in the Yao Chi Fairy Island, the territory occupied by Buddhist cultivators is larger than that of his Yi family, because the number of Buddhist cultivators is greater than that of the Yi family. The number of cultivators of the Yi family in Yao Chi is only around 8 million.

The only advantage the Yi family has over the Buddhist cultivators is that they have an abundant supply of resources.

The Yi family trained indigenous immortal cultivators on Yao Chi Fairy Island, ostensibly to deal with the ten great families, but in reality they were targeting Buddhist cultivators.

Now, the Buddhist cultivators actually wanted to obtain resources from the Yi family to train more Buddhist cultivators. This was obviously impossible to agree to.

The various resources of the Yi family were nominally sent by the family, but in reality most of them were given to him by Old Man Guantian to help him establish the Huanglong Kingdom.

If it weren’t for the help of Old Man Guantian, it would have been difficult for the Yi family to even build those immortal cities.

Yi Taizhen couldn't help but think of those people from the Evil Suppression Bureau whom she had met a month ago.

If the Buddhist practitioners were not so closely tied to Yao Chi's defense system, he would have cooperated with the Evil Suppression Division to destroy these Buddhist practitioners long ago.

Recently, he was planning to suppress the space debris and did not intend to provoke the Buddhists, so it was impossible for him to cooperate with the Evil Suppression Division. After thinking for a while, he softened his tone and said:
"We in the Yi family have almost used up our spiritual energy. We can only help you build ten second-level spiritual veins first. When we buy more spiritual energy, we will build spiritual veins for you."

When Master Jingkong saw that Yi Taizhen did not seem to be willing to negotiate, he was not in a hurry. It was unknown what he was thinking. He just nodded slowly and left.

After Yi Taizhen returned to Huanglong Divine City.

Send someone to notify Ao Lingshuang.

After a while, Ao Lingshuang came to the hall, looked at Yi Taizhen and said:
"Have you figured out how to pay for it?

If not, I will take away the Yellow Dragon City."

Ao Lingshuang used a piece of Huang Tian Xian Teng to exchange for Huang Long Shen Cheng from Yi Dong, so it was impossible for him to give Huang Long Shen Cheng to Yi Taizhen for free. Old Tianji was unwilling to pay an extra price, so he only showed Ao Lingshuang the original version of Tian Ji Dao Juan.

Since Ao Lingshuang didn't get it from Old Man Tianji, he would naturally let Yi Taizhen pay the price.

Originally, after seeing the Yellow Dragon Divine City, Ao Lingshuang wanted to take it away, because this innate spiritual treasure was more powerful than any innate spiritual treasure she had ever seen, and was enough to make up for the lost Huangtian Immortal Vine.

Unfortunately, there is an old monster with terrifying cultivation hidden in this Yao Chi Fairy Island. With that person watching, it is basically impossible to take away the Yellow Dragon Divine City.

As a last resort, Ao Lingshuang could only waste time here with Yi Taizhen.

Although Ao Lingshuang was somewhat afraid of the old monster, it was impossible for the other party to rely on his strength without paying a price.

Although Ao Lingshuang could not kill the other party, killing Yi Taizhen was not difficult at all.

Asking Yi Taizhen to pay for the Huang Tian Xian Vine actually meant asking the old monster behind him to pay for it, because Yi Taizhen was a Qi-refining cultivator, and even if he was the patriarch of the Yi family, it was impossible for him to come up with something of equal value to the Huang Tian Xian Vine.

Yi Taizhen looked at Ao Lingshuang with a complicated look.

Three years ago, when he first met Ao Lingshuang, he was amazed by her.

Among all the women Yi Taizhen has met in her life, only Mu Mu's appearance and temperament can compare with Ao Lingshuang.

Those female cultivators who seemed very beautiful in the past were not even supporting roles in front of Ao Lingshuang.

In the Yi family, choosing a companion is very important.

Because of clan rules, even Yi Taizhen cannot change her Taoist partner at will.

Yi Taizhen has never looked for a Taoist partner, just to find someone who can match him.

After seeing Ao Lingshuang, his heart was moved.

Ao Lingshuang is a modern cultivator whose cultivation level is at the foundation of the Great Dao. Her appearance is also quite outstanding. She is truly the most suitable candidate for a Taoist companion.

It's a pity that falling flowers are ruthless.

Yi Taizhen wanted to talk about feelings with the other party, but Ao Lingshuang talked to him about money.

Originally, Yi Taizhen would not give up so easily.

But perhaps because he was a little impatient with Yi Taizhen's pestering, Ao Lingshuang once told Yi Taizhen directly that his ancestor Yi Dong had also pursued her at Qingzhu Taoist Temple.

After hearing this, Yi Taizhen no longer had any plans to become a Taoist couple with the other party.

Because Yi Taizhen knew that if Yi Dong was dissatisfied with him and kicked him out of the Yi family, he would not be able to gain a foothold in Yao Chi even if he had the support of Old Man Guantian.

It was during this war that he truly witnessed the power wielded by the Yi family, or Yi Dong.

The Yi family’s strongest fighting force has always been in Yi Dong’s hands.

Whether it was Taichu Zixing's fleet or the Buddhist puppets in the stupa tower, they all only obeyed Yi Dong's orders. As for other members of the Yi family, even him, the head of the Yi family, Taichu Zixing's fleet and the Buddhist puppets in the stupa tower did not take him seriously at all.

At the same time, Yi Taizhen also understood in his heart that Old Man Guantian supported him because he was the patriarch of the Yi family. If he did not have this identity, no matter how extraordinary his fate was, Old Man Guantian would not hand over the Yao Chi Fairy Island to him because he would not be able to keep it.

Yi Taizhen has always been very rational. Even though he was not sure whether Ao Lingshuang's words were true or false, he directly gave up the plan of becoming a Taoist partner with Ao Lingshuang.

Although he had no intention of becoming a Taoist partner with Ao Lingshuang, Yi Taizhen felt a little uncomfortable every time he saw Ao Lingshuang. Until Ao Lingshuang's cold eyes swept over him, Yi Taizhen waved his hand and took out a giant beast egg that exuded a mysterious aura.

Ao Lingshuang glanced at the jade bracelet on Yi Taizhen's wrist, then looked at the beast egg, his eyes slightly fixed.
“Is this a descendant of the True Spirit?
No, it should be called the egg of the true spirit."

The descendants of a true spirit are not necessarily true spirits, but the beast egg in front of you will most likely produce a true spirit cub after hatching.

“This is the Yellow Dragon from the True Dragon Clan.

If you find a way to hatch and tame it, you will be able to get a yellow dragon as your guardian spirit in the future.

This dragon egg is worth as much as your piece of immortal vine."

There is no method in the fairyland to refine the true spirit into a life spirit beast.

Moreover, because the fairyland has the True Spirit as its guardian beast, the True Spirit's status in the fairyland is somewhat special. Even if someone has special magical powers to enslave the True Spirit cubs, they may not dare to do so.

Yi Taizhen looked at the dragon egg in her hand, with a hint of reluctance in her eyes.

This is a real spirit. If this real spirit grows up by my side and I develop feelings with it, it will definitely be my greatest help in the future.

Unfortunately, it now has to be handed over to Ao Lingshuang.

Moreover, Yi Taizhen didn't dare to really anger Ao Lingshuang.

Yi Taizhen once asked Old Man Guantian why he was so polite to Ao Lingshuang.

No matter how capable Ao Lingshuang is, he is just a Great Dao Foundation Establishment cultivator. Even if his combat power is astonishing, he is only equivalent to an ancient Nascent Soul cultivator.

In response to his question, Elder Guantian said:

"The person who came to Yaochi Fairy Island is not her real body. If you anger her, it will be very easy for her to kill you."

Ao Lingshuang took the dragon egg and frowned slightly. There was something wrong with the condition of the dragon egg.

However, this is normal. If it was a normal dragon egg, the other party would not give it to me.

"Okay, the deal is done."
