Chapter 600: Chapter 480: Master Hanmu (Part 2)

Possessing divinely gifted resources and occupying a natural blessed land, the Cultivators of the Immortal Fall Islands often see themselves as the center of this world, frequently exhibiting acts of noble isolation in closing off their islands.

Seeing the group’s rapidly changing expressions, Master Hanmu, Hai Shuangyao hurriedly waved her hand: "That Mi Mengyin is the world’s most wicked woman; don’t misunderstand, my sect’s cultivators are all very easy-going."

"Moreover, during my travels on the mainland this time, I found it much more interesting than the island. Being cooped up on that broken island day in and day out would drive anyone insane."

The group smiled wryly and nodded, thinking that perhaps a cultivator like Hai Shuangyao from the Immortal Fall Islands was rare; if others had the chance, they would probably vie fiercely to settle within the islands.

Seeing everyone’s expression, Hai Shuangyao became anxious, waved her hand: "Take this Nocturnal City for example, things here are really fun, I——"

She suddenly paused, for she saw a scene of ruins in the city. What were once magnificent palaces and pavilions were all dilapidated, and the splendid lights that had once spread like a river were now only twinkling stars, looking extremely rundown.

This was the result of Mi Mengyin’s chaotic entanglements here, but the fuse was related to herself.

Hai Shuangyao gave an awkward smile, took out a jade box from her bosom, and handed it to Ye Xiao.

"You are the owner of this place, right? This is to compensate you."

Ye Xiao was slightly stunned; although she felt angry, she had actually given up on asking for compensation. After all, before her was Master Hanmu, an extraordinary figure with high cultivation, and the original instigator was not her. Even if Hai Shuangyao walked away now, there would be nothing she could do.

With slight hesitation, Ye Xiao expressed her thanks and still accepted the jade box. She was curious what kind of thing this Golden Core from the Immortal Fall Islands would offer, so without evasion, she opened it on the spot.

A surge of Spiritual Qi gushed forth!

The Spiritual Qi was so intense, forming a thick mist that left everyone dumbfounded.

After the spiritual mist dissipated, inside was a gem about an inch and a half square, translucent and crystal-clear, with a bright luster as if the Milky Way was shining within.

Ye Xiao’s hand trembled, and she took a deep breath: "Spirit... Spirit Marrow?!"

Spirit Stone, Spirit Crystal, Spirit Marrow, Spirit Core, Spirit Marrow ranks second, and one piece equals a thousand Spirit Crystals!

This is just the official exchange price, actually, Spirit Marrow is so precious it’s often unattainable.

This is already the currency used by Primordial Spirit Profound Monachs in trade, and today, it was easily taken out by Hai Shuangyao, a Golden Core Master, as compensation. Is the Immortal Fall Islands so wealthy?

Everyone was stunned, Lin Le quickly calculated in his mind. This piece of Spirit Marrow far exceeds the cost of repairing Nocturnal City, as well as compensating the cultivators in the city; the remaining part can be considered profit to be divided among several shareholders.

Calculating this way, the Yunshan Sect could profit approximately one hundred and fifty Spirit Crystals, surpassing the profits shared by the Yunshan Sect from one Six-Six Festival at Shuangye Square!

Impossible, even if it’s the Immortal Fall Islands, not everyone can be as wealthy as a country.

There’s only one explanation, Master Hanmu must have an astonishing background, her influence is top-notch even among Immortal Fall Islands.

Ye Xiao’s smile was as beautiful as a flower, her tone extremely warm, eagerly inviting Hai Shuangyao to stay a few more days in the city.

Jiang Qingfeng humbly said, "Please, Master, visit our Yunshan Sect to rest and recuperate, to let our sect express our little hospitality, how about it?"

Seeing her uninterested, Jiang Baitao hurriedly said, "This Nocturnal City was designed by our Sect Leader Senior Brother, he has lots of new ideas, it’s definitely fun."

Hai Shuangyao’s eyes lit up, but she hesitated for a moment and still refused the invitation.

"I can’t delay any longer, there are many goals ahead to accomplish. I’ll come back after it’s repaired next time."

As she spoke, she had already taken out a large map, spread it out for a look, it was full of ghost talisman-like dense characters and a bunch of messy lines.

She stretched out her finger and scratched around in a tangle of lines, seemingly even lost herself, only after a while did she make a firm point, enthusiastically speaking, "Alright, next is here!"

Everyone looked at that large swath of black ink, not even a place name was clear, they could only roughly determine it was in the direction of Ningzhou, gaining a deep understanding of Hai Shuangyao’s offbeat style once again.

Thus Master Hanmu said to leave as she pleased, even without sitting down to mend her various injuries.

Finally, she patted her chest, bid farewell to Lin Le and Jiang Baitao.

"I’m leaving first, next time you both come to the Immortal Fall Islands to visit me."

"Binglan Island, Hai Family, tell my name, it will definitely work!"

Everyone kept this name in mind, then with a swoosh, Hai Shuangyao had already risen with the chill, shooting into the sky.

The people met and the events experienced were too bizarre that day, Jiang Qingfeng was just rubbing the Deep Blue Ice Crystal, ready to organize his thoughts and return to Minglong Mountain to tell Lu Qian about this glimpse of the Golden Core Master, and then Jiang Baitao suddenly shouted loudly.

"There’s also great news!" She shouted enthusiastically, then suddenly turned to Wu Yan, speaking word by word, "Xiaolin has Consciousness Collection!"

...

As daylight broke, a Flying Ship moved from south to north, heading from Liangxiang County towards Zhongming.

Li Da stood at the bow of the ship, bathed in the dawn’s glow, his white robe fluttering in the wind.

The once young boy had now grown into a handsome young man, tall, handsome, and graceful, attracting attention.

His cultivation had reached the ninth level of Qi Cultivation last year, highly cultivated, well-liked, extremely popular among the disciples and acknowledged as an idol by the junior sisters.

At this moment, Li Da was standing with his hands behind his back at the bow, looking at the golden mountains and forests in the distance stained by the morning sun, feeling an expansive chest and high spirits, instantly wanting to recite a poem.

He had just opened his mouth to emit a syllable when he heard a loud rumble from behind.

"Li Zi, I’m hungry." A thick-eyebrowed, big-eyed young man’s stomach growled, "You take over for a while, I need to eat breakfast."

Li Da suppressed his twitching eye corner, saying with ill-concealed displeasure: "Wang Shitou, you’ve reached the ninth layer of Qi Cultivation, you should start fasting, yet you still eat five meals a day. Be careful these mundane foods accumulate in your body, hindering your cultivation."

But saying so, he still walked over, taking over from Wang Ruoyu in controlling the Flying Ship.

Wang Ruoyu laughed heartily, stood up, he hadn’t been as tall as Li Da, but in these years, he had surpassed, now tall and strong, half a head taller than Li Da.

He sat cross-legged at the bow, taking out a pile of food from his Storage Pouch, eating voraciously, and said indistinctly: "These are Spirit Grains and Spirit Wheat grown near Lingsha City, and Spiritual Birds and Beast Species raised, not mundane food, eating more is fine."

Li Da ignored him, just looking at the distant mountains, calculating the distance.

The two were returning smoothly from a mission, now reaching Liangxiang County, heading further north they would soon reach Hidden Dragon Stream’s Divine Flood Dragon Sect, and past Hidden Dragon Stream, they would soon reach Shuangye Square.

After a cup of tea, Wang Ruoyu devoured the food, cleared it all, then took out a water pouch, meticulously cleaning his hands and face before cautiously taking out another Storage Pouch.

He poured out a large handful of brightly colored gems into his palm, which sparkled under the sunlight.

This simple and honest-looking big fellow cultivator picked up the gems one by one, carefully examining them against the light, discarding those with slight flaws directly.

Li Da watched from the side, slowly sighed.

"Shitou, haven’t given up yet? It’s useless."

Seeing Wang Ruoyu unmoved, Li Da continued: "Junior Martial Uncle has already made it clear, neither to you nor to me, has she the slightest romantic affection."

After pausing for a moment, his voice softened: "She only sees us as brothers."

"Since making it clear last time, she has distanced herself from us a lot, that’s her attitude."

"If so, why persist?" Li Da was advising him, also advising himself, "There are many good girls in the Yunshan Sect, and chasing after her relentlessly will not result in anything."

Wang Ruoyu didn’t even lift his head, continuing to fiddle with that bag of gems: "I just do what I want to do. I see these stones are beautiful and want to give them to Junior Martial Uncle. I didn’t think much else."

"Li Zi, not everything has to have a result."

Li Da was stunned for a moment, couldn’t help but curse: "Shitou, sometimes you are really a philosopher."

Wang Ruoyu was about to say something else when he suddenly exclaimed and stood up.

Following his gaze, Li Da was also moved.

In the distance was the Hidden Dragon Stream.

However, how come the Mountain Protection Grand Array covering Hidden Dragon Stream had disappeared?
