Chapter 281 Negotiations Break Down (Subscription Request)

Chen Xuan's face was gloomy.

While he was away, the Yu family fleet came in large numbers, saying that they were paying him a visit. If there was an opportunity, they could seize the island in one fell swoop.

We must be cautious against the treacherous and mean-spirited families like the Yu family of Mingyang Island at all costs.

Logically speaking, the Yu family has not yet reached the point of directly attacking Wolong Island.

The Fairy Island of the Baihua Sect has just been acquired and has not yet been digested.

The Lu family of Yunze Island is still holding on, and the alliance of the seven clans of Song State has not completely lost control.

"The Yu family of Mingyang Island, are you here to pay a visit or to start a war?"

"Six warships, are you bullying Wolong Island, which only has one warship?"

"Island Master Chen is joking. We are transporting supplies to Fairy Island. To prevent any accidents, we have dispatched several extra warships for escort."

"On my way back, I realized that Island Master Chen had been on Wolong Island for five years and had yet to visit me. I took this opportunity to come and meet him."

"Sorry, Wolong Island is desolate and there's nothing good to offer you. Please go back!"

Chen Xuan ordered them to leave without any hesitation.

There is no possibility of peaceful coexistence between him and Mingyang Island.

"Why does Island Master Chen keep people at a distance? Can we talk alone?"

Chen Xuan thought about it.

"it is good!"

He wanted to hear what conditions the Yu family leader could offer to tempt him.

The head of the Yu family raised a magic flying sword and flew into the air thousands of feet high.

Chen Xuan was not to be outdone. He lightly patted the psychic green snake's forehead. The snake's body shook slightly, and it raised its head and flew to the opposite side of the Yu family head.

Late stage of foundation building, so what!
If it were a one-on-one fight, Chen Xuan was confident that he would not lose to Patriarch Yu.

What's more, there are the psychic green snake and the jade-faced queen bee to help.

If he is really pissed off, he will gang up on the Yu family head to kill or cripple him.

"Island Master Chen, let me be frank. The Yu Kingdom sects have reached an agreement to completely expel the Song Kingdom sects from the Dongshan Islands."

"You and I are both trapped in this situation. Confronting them head-on will lead to our own demise. How about we just surrender for now and wait for the right time?"

Chen Xuan thought that the head of the Yu family could say something, but it turned out to be just empty talk, so he came to persuade him to surrender.

What does it mean to surrender temporarily?

As long as they submit to the Yu Kingdom sect and become its vassal, how can they not obey the sect's orders?

By then, the Yu Kingdom sect will have plenty of ways to use soft knives to cut your flesh and suppress and consume your strength.

If you resist, a righteous man with the righteousness of disobeying orders will be dispatched to send elite soldiers from the sect to wipe out your entire family in a minute.

"Island Master Chen, please think twice before you act."

Seeing that Chen Xuan didn't reply, Patriarch Yu advised sincerely.

"Brother Yu Dao, I just want to live a stable life. As long as the dispute between the Yu and Song sects does not involve my Wolong Island, it's fine."

"If you insist on dealing with Wolong Island, I will have no choice but to accompany you."

Chen Xuan said coldly.

He really didn't have deep feelings for the Jinyang Sect.

But that doesn't mean he would abandon Jinyang Sect without any reason.

Give him a plum and give him a peach.

Judging from the performance of the Yu Kingdom sect alone, it is not much nobler than the Jinyang Sect.

No matter how much you advertise yourself as a traitor, you will still be despised by the world.

"Island Master Chen, think about it carefully. There's no need to rush into a decision. I'll come talk to you again in a while."

The head of the Yu family didn't take it seriously. After he finished speaking, he turned around and left.

The six warships turned their bows and headed all the way to Mingyang Island.

Chen Xuan returned to the island on the psychic green snake.

Zhou Shiren and Su Zhengming came forward and asked, "Master, what's going on with Yunze Island?"

"It's okay. Yunze Island can hold on. The Pan family of Yu State cannot conquer it."

"That's good!"

"good."

Zhou Shiren and Su Zhengming said to each other with relief.

Zhang Haibin also hurried over.

"Well done. For the monks who participated in the vigilance just now, whether on the island or on the ship, each person will be given twenty spirit stones."

Chen Xuan said to everyone.

Everyone responded happily.

When we returned to Longxing Villa, Jiang Yingxue, Su Yanping and Zhou Liqi were waiting at the door.

"go in."

Chen Xuan took his three wives home and briefly told them about the situation on Yunze Island.

"Don't worry. With my husband here, Wolong Island can rest easy."

Sure enough, the war between the Pan and Lu tribes happened as he had expected.

With the help of the island protection formation, the Lu family sent out warships from time to time to harass the Pan family fleet.

Once the battle went against them, the Lu family fleet would quickly return to the coast and join forces with the island protection formation to attack and defend together.

After a long siege, the Pan family fleet failed and needed supplies, so they had to return home in disappointment.

The war between the Pan and Lu tribes, which lasted for three months, came to a temporary end.

The monks on the Dongshan Islands were just thinking about taking a breath and having some peace and quiet when something big happened again.

Feiying Island, where Yaoshen Valley is located, was resold to the Yang family of Lu State.

This is a slap in the face to the Song Dynasty sect.

The Xuantian Sect of the Song Dynasty was completely unable to control the other six sects.

Without absolute strength, there is no absolute prestige.

In fact, many cultivators can understand Yaoshen Valley’s retreat from Feiying Island.

In the Medicine God Valley, the most important asset is the second-level alchemist, who is trained by refining elixirs using countless spiritual materials.

Every second-level alchemist could generate hundreds of thousands of spirit stones in revenue each year. In comparison, a mere second-level, top-grade island was nothing.

For an alchemist, as long as there is underground fire and the right medicinal materials are collected, he can make elixirs anywhere.

It was a very rational choice for Yaoshen Valley to leave this troubled place and protect the alchemist.

As for why it was sold to the Yang family of Lu State.

The reason is simpler.

The Yang family of Lu State offered the highest bid.

From a business perspective, it is reasonable to sell goods at the highest price.

Before the monks of Dongshan Islands could come to their senses, something even more bizarre happened.

The Yu family of Mingyang Island solemnly announced that they would leave the Beast Emperor Pavilion and join the Lingyuan Sect of the Yu Kingdom.

Moreover, this matter has been approved by the Beast King Pavilion and Lingyuan Sect.

Everyone was in an uproar.

For a moment, the Dongshan Islands were shrouded in dark clouds, and the shadow of war hung over every monk.

Many monks from the Dongshan Islands moved out with their families.

……

Everything is in order on Wolong Island.

What happens outside has no effect on here.

However, the island protection force has been expanded.

There were originally only more than ten law enforcement officers in the market town, but the number has increased to more than thirty.

The city guards, on the other hand, recruited a large number of independent cultivators in the late stage of Qi training, among whom more than 30 demon hunters were particularly eye-catching.

Chen Xuan allocated low-quality farmland to all these demon hunters, 100 mu per household, with ten years of tax exemption.

Even if they don't plant it, they can rent it to other spiritual farmers and harvest tens of thousands of kilograms of spiritual rice, which is enough to support the whole family.

Moreover, all their descendants entered the Longxing Villa's cultivation school for free and chose the cultivation skills that suited their talents.

This also means that they will not have to engage in the risky profession of monster hunting in the future.

Chen Xuan appointed more than ten late-stage Qi-training cultivators from his three wives' families as captains and more than thirty demon hunters as squad leaders to establish a 300-man city guard team to protect Wolong Island.

All the independent cultivators in the market town were also mobilized, recruiting cultivators in the middle stage of Qi training at high prices, distributing 500 spirit stones every year, and stationing them in secular cities.

On the Wolong, they were even more prepared. More than 80 water repairmen were divided into two shifts, staying at their posts and ready to go into battle at any time.

……

Chen Xuan had no intention of giving up Wolong Island.

Be it the State of Yu or the State of Lu, as long as no Jindan Zhenren are dispatched, Wolong Island will be as stable as Mount Tai.

As for the internal affairs, Chen Xuan has always kept a tight control on them.

All the monks on the island have been reviewed by him and the psychic green snake. The three parties protect each other and have a clear background.

Even if there are some weak secret agents, it is difficult for them to infiltrate key positions.

The most urgent task is to practice internal skills diligently and strengthen one's own strength so as to survive future changes.

Using the excuse that the situation in the Dongshan Islands was tense, Chen Xuan did not return to the sect for assessment and report.

Therefore, the method of refining elixirs in the giant furnace was not presented to the sect as a tribute.

This is a good opportunity to earn more spirit stones and save more Qi-nourishing pills.

With the development of Wolong Island, the number of monks on the island has increased from 3,000 to more than 5,000.

Among them, more than two thousand are young immortal seedlings.

Although many of them only have low-grade spiritual roots, it is not difficult for them to break through to the middle stage of Qi training at the age of twenty with the help of cheap Qi-nourishing pills.

Of course, the real combat power is still in the later stage of Qi training.

Therefore, Chen Xuan began to refine Peiyuan Dan in a giant furnace, half of which was sold by Tianfu Chamber of Commerce to offset the cost of medicinal materials, leaving a slight surplus.

The other half is reserved for personal use.

The monthly production for self-use is 20,000 medium-grade Peiyuan Pills. The market price of each medium-grade Peiyuan Pill is two spirit stones, which is four times that of a medium-grade Yangqi Pill.

A medium-grade Peiyuan Pill is equivalent to ten days of hard practice for a cultivator in the middle stage of Qi training.

Chen Xuan sells it at half price to the mid-stage Qi training cultivators on the island.

There is also a limit. A cultivator in the middle stage of Qi training is only allowed five pills per month, which is enough for the needs of practice.

Cultivators in the late stage of Qi training have a monthly quota of eight pills.

In fact, cultivators in the late stage of Qi training have no use for Peiyuan Dan at all.

But you can make some money by reselling it, so why not do it?

Wang Fugui made a rough calculation.

There are more than 5,000 cultivators on Wolong Island, more than 3,000 of them are adults, more than 1,000 are in the middle stage of Qi training, and only more than 100 are in the late stage of Qi training.

He kept 20,000 Peiyuan Pills for himself every month. Due to the quota, the monks on the island could only digest more than 6,000 pills. The rest were all stored for emergency use.

As for spiritual food, Chen Xuan was not worried.

On Wolong Island, there is enough storage of Yuanzu spiritual wine, spiritual rice, monster meat, and dried monster fish.

With the Wolong and the Psychic Green Snake, there is an inexhaustible supply of spiritual food in the ocean.

In order to cope with future changes, Chen Xuan advanced the ancient bee venom to the proficient level.

The divine power of the third eye, plus the proficient level of water control, ancient bee venom, as well as the five magical powers of the scorpion tail poison hook that ignores defense, the yin and yang walking that breaks the void, and the soul-stealing golden light that attacks the soul.

Even though he was in the late stage of foundation building, Chen Xuan was not afraid.

That day, just as Chen Xuan finished his training, someone came in to report that two foundation-building cultivators were visiting from outside Wolong Island.

Looking through the visiting cards, it turned out that they were from the Zhang family head of the Divine Sword Sect's Tianjian Island and the Wei family head of the Qianji Sect's Baihe Island.

Chen Xuan smiled slightly.

After a series of incidents in the Dongshan Islands, the families of these two major sects finally could no longer sit still and took the initiative to visit.

Chen Xuan rode a second-level green dragon to help Yunze Island fight against the Pan family and confront the Yu family. These things had already spread throughout the Dongshan Islands.

Now, in the island town where the seven sects of Song State are stationed, the Yu family has rebelled, and the Lu family is unable to take care of themselves. The Fairy Island and Flying Eagle Island of the Baihua Sect and Yaoshen Valley have been sold to the Yu family and the Yang family respectively.

At one point, of the seven great sects of the Song Dynasty, only three strongholds remained in the Dongshan Islands: the Chen family of the Jinyang Sect on Wolong Island, the Zhang family of the Shenjian Sect on Tianjian Island, and the Wei family of the Qianji Sect on Baihe Island.

Chen Xuan expressed his understanding of the evacuation of Baihua Sect and Yaoshen Valley, but he did not agree with it.
