Wizards in the world of cultivation

Chapter 54 Sunset Island (Please continue reading)
However, although the Soul Enslavement Technique is domineering, it also has a limit on the number of people it can withstand. With Su You's current mental strength, he can probably only withstand a few dozen Foundation Establishment cultivators or one or two Golden Core cultivators.

That's enough. Su You isn't planning anything big; he just needs some completely loyal subordinates to do things for him.

"It seems the witch formation we used earlier was a waste." Su You shook his head helplessly.

He used two drops of third-tier demon beast blood essence.

The flesh and blood control method set up by the witch array just now can compensate for the poor effect of soul control with flesh and blood control. In other words, from the soul to the body, nothing can escape the witch's control.

Su You thought for a moment, then softly chanted a spell. The blood-red patterns on Qi Yuan and Qi Chang's bodies reappeared. Under the influence of the spell, they kept changing and eventually coalesced into a drop of essence blood, which then entered their bodies.

"In the future, when you encounter danger, you can burn that drop of demonic beast blood essence. Even if you are facing a Golden Core cultivator, you will have a chance to escape." Su You said calmly. Since there was no need to control them with flesh and blood, he transformed them back into demonic beast blood essence.

"Thank you for the gift, Master!" the two said excitedly. Although they had completely submitted to Su You, they still had their own memories, their own joys and sorrows, and on the surface they were just like normal people.

"Alright, you can all go back now. As for your reasons for tracking me, come up with a good one when you get back, and don't let your families cause me any trouble." Su You thought for a moment and then continued to instruct, "If you have any important information about the Mingkong Islands, you can also send a message over."

Su You had no intention of letting the Qi family go, but he was still not strong enough to wipe out a family on his own unless he already possessed the combat power of the Nascent Soul level. Otherwise, with three Golden Core experts and a third-grade high-level formation, it would be really difficult to break through.

To destroy the Qi family, one needs not only strength but also the right opportunity.

Just now, Su You also learned about the current situation of the Mingkong Islands from their memories. After returning twenty years ago, the island lord of Aurora Island suddenly announced his seclusion and has not made any moves since. This is also the reason why the major families dared to take action.

However, they have always been very careful in their actions. Just like when they faced Su You, even though he was only a cultivator in the early stage of Foundation Establishment, they sent a cultivator in the middle stage and the late stage of Foundation Establishment to ensure that nothing went wrong and that the information would not be leaked.

As for why they followed without taking action, it was mainly to eliminate any potential threats at the outset. This way, once Luoxia Island fell into their hands, they could hide it easily and no one would be able to detect it.

Otherwise, if someone were alive and went to file a complaint, it would also affect their reputation.

According to Qi Chang's memories, his family had used this method to control dozens of second-tier spirit islands. They pretended to be island lords in seclusion and then handed over the spirit fields to their subordinates to manage. These people who managed the spirit fields were all members of the Qi family.

These spirit fields alone can bring in tens of thousands of spirit stones every year, which adds up to a considerable sum over time.

"Perhaps I can train Qi Chang to become a Golden Core cultivator, and then secretly take control of the Qi family." Su You stroked his chin, an idea forming in his mind.

After careful consideration, he decided to give up. Putting aside the cost of cultivating Qi Chang, it would be difficult to control the Qi family's power as long as there were other Golden Core cultivators in the Qi family.

After thinking for a moment, Su You shook his head. He was still not good at scheming and plotting, but as long as he was strong enough, he could break through any schemes and plots with his own strength.

Now that two seeds have been planted, all we can do is wait for them to take root and sprout.

……

Sunset Island.

A streak of emerald-green sword light slowly came to a stop in the sky.

"This must be Sunset Island. Indeed, the red maples are like fire, and the sunset is like the morning glow." Su You flew in mid-air, looking at the scenery below, and sighed slightly. The island is planted with a large number of red maples. From a distance, it looks like the morning glow on the horizon has fallen into the island, hence the name Sunset Island.

Unfortunately, even the most beautiful scenery will one day fade away. The path to immortality is long and uncertain. Only by achieving immortality can one reach the summit and survey all the mountains below.

The road ahead is long, and he has only just begun; he still needs to continue exploring and moving forward.

Su You rode his flying sword, hovering above Luoxia Island.

Although he has already rented Luoxia Island, he only has a general understanding of it. He will need to see it for himself to know the specifics.

Viewed from the sky, Luoxia Island is crescent-shaped. The southern part of the island is inhabited by ordinary people, with three county towns and a population of 100,000.

The central valley is the main vein of the second-tier spiritual vein. The cave dwellings for living and cultivating are built here. In the valley next to the main vein are patches of spiritual fields, which are planted with fragrant spiritual rice, covering an area of ​​about one hundred acres.

In addition, two branch lines extend northward, but due to the terrain and the influence of spiritual energy, only fifty acres of spiritual fields have been cultivated.

This 150-acre spiritual field is Su You's only property on Luoxia Island, and it is currently planted with first-grade low-level Jade Fragrant Rice.

Because it was still eight months before it matured, it was given to Su You as a gift.

However, the share that should be given to those farming cultivators must not be reduced by a single cent; it will still be distributed according to the usual practice of previous years.

As for whether Su You will change the tenancy ratio after this year, the Mingkong Alliance will not interfere, as long as no malicious incidents occur, such as imprisoning rogue cultivators to farm for free.

After the Mingkong Alliance leases out the island, how to manage and operate the Spirit Island is entirely up to the island owner.

As Su You was immersed in the island's stunning scenery, a sword light rose shakily from the island and approached him.

He could clearly see a beautiful, innocent-looking female cultivator with only the third level of Qi Refining approaching him nervously. He could even hear her muttering to herself.

"Why am I, Zhao Feier, always so unlucky? I lost the rock-paper-scissors game again. I hope this senior can be more accommodating."

As she got closer to Su You, Zhao Feier's expression grew increasingly tense, and she kept muttering to herself, "This isn't some late-stage Qi Refining expert, he's a Foundation Establishment cultivator! My god, am I really going to die this time...?"

As she approached Su You, Zhao Feier stammered, "Senior, may I ask what brings you to Luoxia Island?"

"What? Can't I come just because I have nothing to do?" Su You said, feigning anger but with a blank expression.

"No, no... it's just..." Zhao Feier was speechless when asked this question.

"Alright, I won't scare you anymore." Seeing that Zhao Feier seemed to be on the verge of tears, Su You smiled again and took out his token. "I am the new island lord of Luoxia Island. I'm here to inspect the island."

"Oh, it's the Island Lord. I was really scared to death just now." Zhao Feier breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, and her spirits lifted instantly, and she smiled again. "Island Lord, welcome to Luoxia Island. It's a very nice place."
