Mortal: I have a gathering technique

Xin Ruyin acted quickly, preparing the construction diagram and material list for the teleportation array in less than half a day.

Fang Qing took the jade slip from Xin Ruyin and told her about the invasion by the demonic forces.

"So, you've come to take me back to Yellow Maple Valley?"

Upon hearing this, Xin Ruyin's beautiful eyes flickered with a hint of anticipation, and a sense of expectation arose within her.

Fang Qing nodded first, then shook her head:

"The six sects of the demonic path are powerful. They are only temporarily blocked by the two kingdoms of Cheqi. It is only a matter of time before they invade Yuanwu and Yue. If you stay here any longer, it will be very dangerous."

"However, returning to Yellow Maple Valley is only an option; there is another place to go before that."

Upon hearing this, Xin Ruyin couldn't help but ask with curiosity, "Where?"

Fang Qing did not answer immediately, but said "Come with me" and got up to walk outside.

Xin Ruyin followed behind, completely bewildered.

The two arrived at the open area in front of the bamboo hut. Fang Qing waved his sleeve, and a huge yellow stone platform appeared out of thin air and slowly landed on the ground.

The yellow stone platform was hexagonal, its surface covered with various forbidden cloud patterns. Xin Ruyin glanced at it and immediately exclaimed in surprise:

"An ultra-long-range teleportation array?!"

"When did you build it?"

As she spoke, she had already flashed to the front of the stone platform array base, her eyes quickly scanning the area, when she suddenly exclaimed in surprise:

"No, this is... an ancient teleportation array!"

With her expertise in array formations, she could naturally tell that this array had existed for a very long time.

"Good eye!"

Fang Qing smiled and praised, then came to Xin Ruyin's side.

"So, the place you're talking about is the other end of the teleportation array?"

Xin Ruyin carefully examined the teleportation array, her expression showing a hint of eagerness. Although she was a homebody, she was still full of curiosity about unknown places.

Fang Qing smiled and deliberately said:

"This is the current idea, but we'll need to go there to make a decision on the specifics."

Xin Ruyin looked at her questioningly: "You haven't been there yet?"

Fang Qing shook his head:

"Once this formation is activated, the commotion will be immense. I plan to use your mountain-protecting formation to conceal it."

Although he had two great formations, the Reversed Five Elements Formation and the Five Elements Sealing Formation, the former was not very effective in terms of concealment, and Fang Qing was not absolutely confident in relying solely on the latter, so he naturally thought of Xiaozhushan.

Xin Ruyin had no objection to this. On one hand, she cooperated with Fang Qing to set up the Five Elements Sealing Array, and on the other hand, she activated the Mountain Protection Array.

Two beams of light, one blue and one five-colored, slowly rose up, enveloping the teleportation array base like an inverted giant bowl.

With preparations complete, Fang Qing took out five mid-grade spirit stones and pressed them one by one into the base grooves of the ancient teleportation array.

As the last spirit stone fell, a loud hum was heard, and the teleportation array erupted with a huge surge of spiritual energy. At the same time, a dazzling yellow beam of light shot into the sky.

The Five Elements Sealing Array was struck by the yellow beam of light, and the array flags immediately emitted mournful cries. Just as the array was about to be pierced, the yellow beam of light lost its momentum and finally dissipated slowly under the obstruction of the five-colored halo.

Seeing this, Fang Qing felt a huge weight lifted from his shoulders.

This is the startup process; the next step is teleportation.

Fang Qing casually took out a monkey puppet, placed it on the teleportation array, made hand seals, and sent a beam of spiritual light toward the array base.

"Buzz—!"

With a low rumble, the five mid-grade spirit stones dimmed at a visible speed.

A massive amount of spiritual energy poured into the grand array, and the densely packed runes on the array base seemed to come alive, lighting up one after another.

In a dazzling yellow light, the monkey puppet disappeared from the platform.

Ok?

A hint of surprise flashed across Fang Qing's face. Was the commotion during the teleportation really that small?

The sound of that yellow light was much smaller than the previous beam of light.

Although this scene was somewhat unexpected for Fang Qing, it was a good thing for him.

He looked at Xin Ruyin and instructed her:

"The formation is already connected. I'll go check it out over there first. You wait for me here."

After saying that, he replaced the spirit stones on the array platform, then held the Great Teleportation Token and activated the teleportation array.

The next moment, the teleportation array shone brightly in Xin Ruyin's eyes, and Fang Qing's figure vanished in an instant.

……

After a dizzying spin, Fang Qing suddenly opened his eyes, ignoring his slightly dazed head, and immediately spread his divine sense.

Although he already knew that the teleportation array was hidden in a secluded cave chamber, Fang Qing still dared not be careless in the slightest.

After confirming that no one was around, he relaxed slightly and checked the array platform beneath his feet.

On the platform, apart from himself, there wasn't even a handful of extra scraps, let alone any monkey puppets.

"The spatial compression force I experienced during this teleportation is even more terrifying than I imagined!"

Fang Qing clicked his tongue in amazement.

Amazed, he stepped down from the platform, pushed open the stone door, and in a flash, passed through the long stone steps to the outside of the cave.

Splash!

The moment I stepped out of the cave, the sound of waves rushed past my ears.

Fang Qing squinted, adjusting to the sunlight, and felt a refreshing breeze. A salty sea breeze gently caressed my face.

He subconsciously looked up and gazed into the distance, where the boundless blue waters merged with the azure sky at the edge of his vision.

Fang Qing paused for a moment, then vanished from the spot in a flash.

……

a few days later.

Outside the port of Kuixing Island, a giant ship towed by a silvery-white fish slowly approached the dock.

At the bow of the giant ship's deck, a handsome young man stood facing the sea breeze, his hands behind his back gazing into the distance.

Behind the young man stood a middle-aged man with a round belly, bowing obsequiously as he introduced the young man to the man:

"My lord, Kui Xing Island is just ahead."

"Our Kui Xing Island is one of the twenty-four islands beyond the Chaotic Star Sea. The island lord is named 'True Man of Wood Dragon,' but I have no idea what his cultivation level is."

At this point, the middle-aged man rubbed his hands together, his eyes filled with hope, and said:

"My lord, are you really not going to reconsider? As long as you..."

Before the middle-aged man could finish speaking, the young man waved his hand to interrupt:

"Mr. Fang is used to being alone, so there's no need to mention the matter of offerings again."

This young man was none other than Fang Qing.

A few days ago, he found the ship and secretly collected the memories of its owner.

Based on his memory, he quickly learned the language and script of the Chaotic Star Sea.

Afterwards, posing as a wandering cultivator, he boarded the ship, found the ship owner, and asked him to vouch for him so that he could obtain the right to settle on Kui Xing Island.

The ship owner was just an ordinary person, so he naturally dared not refuse Fang Qing.

Of course, even if he could refuse, he wouldn't do it. Only a fool wouldn't try to curry favor with a cultivator.

Fang Qing did this out of necessity.

The islands in this chaotic star sea are relatively independent. Anyone coming from an outer island will be registered and issued an identity card.

Non-island residents can only rent cave dwellings within designated areas; they cannot independently develop their own cave dwellings, nor are they allowed to participate in the "Spiritual Land Challenge."

The so-called spiritual land challenge is a contest among the island's cultivators to compete for cave dwellings rich in spiritual energy.

Only the island's own monks are qualified to take on this challenge.

To obtain citizenship on the island, one must settle here.

However, for outsiders to obtain the right to settle, they first need the guarantor of local residents.

Now that Fang Qing has arrived here, he naturally won't miss the Gold-Eating Insects on that small island.

In this case, one must obtain permanent residency status.

That's why the scene just now happened.

After immediately refusing the ship owner's request, Fang Qing's mind raced, and he casually offered a reassuring reassurance:

"Don't worry, as long as Mr. Fang obtains residency rights, you'll definitely get your share of the benefits."

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man opened his mouth, but ultimately sighed inwardly, a deep sense of regret flashing across his face.
