Although he had already decided to go to White Dragon Lake, Xu Yang couldn’t just abandon his old nest here without any care and leave.
There were many things to pack, and Xu Yang certainly did not want to let others benefit from his hard work.
First came the Spirit Rice. He picked up the sickle and started harvesting again, collecting all the mature White Jade Rice and Yellow Jade Rice, threshing and packing them, and stuffing them into several Storage Bags.
It must be said that with Storage Bags, many tasks became much more convenient.
Unfortunately, the tiers of these Storage Bags were not very high, and the storage space was extremely limited. Xu Yang also had quite a bit of stock that he couldn’t pack up and take with him.
“Looks like I’ll need to find more Storage Bags when I get the chance, or get a Magic Artifact with more space for storage.”
Xu Yang shook his head and took out all the White Jade Rice that couldn’t fit in the Storage Bags, preparing to feed the eagles and the fish, allowing these little creatures to eat their fill.
“Eat up, eat up. After this meal, who knows when the next will be.”
Watching the birds feast heartily, Xu Yang shook his head with a smile and turned towards the fishgrounds.
In the fishgrounds, he also poured several bags of White Jade Rice into the water. After a group of enlightened fish had eaten their fill, he said, “I’ll be gone for a while. Hide yourselves well and don’t get caught by outsiders. Meanwhile, help me look after the fish and don’t just think about eating all the time…”
After speaking, he did not wait to see if these fish with limited Spirit Wisdom understood. He just opened all the net cages.
Although he possessed the “Dragon King’s Command” trait, the intelligence of those ordinary fish was far too low, making them very troublesome to control, and he could not stay in the water all the time. Therefore, he eventually decided to use net cages for breeding.
Now that he was leaving, he had no idea when he would return, nor did he know if anyone would come to the island. To prevent his fishgrounds from disaster and his fish from harm, Xu Yang decided to temporarily release them back into the lake.
Anyway, he had the Dragon King’s Command. When he returned, a single order would bring a hundred thousand fish obediently back…
The fishgrounds were handled this way, and so was the Electric Eel farm. Those electrifying little guys were excellent for cultivation practice, and how could Xu Yang allow them to fall into the hands of others?
Therefore, Xu Yang personally went down to the lake, found a hidden spot as their temporary den, and expended his Cultivation to further enlighten the Electric Eel King and a few Spirit Monsters, enhancing their Spirit Wisdom and strength.
Only then did Xu Yang feel at ease to leave.
After the Spirit Rice was collected and the fish had been arranged, the last things to deal with were the eagles and the medicinal fields.
The Spiritual Medicines in the fields had only been growing for a few years, not mature enough to harvest and of no use.
Xu Yang could only hope fortuitously that the damn Cultivators had some principles and would leave those underage herb seedlings untouched.
As for the eagle flock, after much deliberation, Xu Yang finally decided to take only the Golden Eagle with him on the road. Laoliu, along with the newly advanced peacock, were tasked with leading the birds to migrate elsewhere, to hide away and wait for his return from White Dragon Lake. “Why does this feel a little sad?”
“It’s all the fault of those bastards who can’t do anything right.”
“But in the end, it’s still because I’m too weak!”
Looking at the deserted island with birds and fish scattered around, Xu Yang shook his head, dispelling the discomfort in his heart.
Having finished preparing, Xu Yang didn’t bring anything else with him, just dressed ordinarily, carrying several Storage Bags, and plunged into Dongting
“Screech! ! ! ”
The Golden Eagle cried out and took off, soaring into the sky, proceeding alongside him.
Thus, three days later.
White Dragon Lake!
This lake was also within the borders of Liang Country, covering an area even greater than Dongting and known for its “Thousand Li White Dragon” scenic beauty. Countless poets and scholars from ancient to modern times have lingered here, leaving behind their immortal writings.
There were even rumors that in the center of the lake lay a White Dragon Immortal Sanctuary where immortals appeared, with Escape Lights and sword shadows crisscrossing, yet without a trace to be found, drawing many seekers of immortals and the path to wander about, yearning to enter but failing.
“Is this… a large-scale Formation?”
“It’s just an ordinary Illusion Array, separating the realms of immortals and mortals, preventing mortals from entering and absorbing nature’s Spiritual Energy from within.”
“Although it covers a large area, because it has Spiritual Energy, this array hardly consumes anything to isolate the outside world, preventing mortals from entering to absorb nature’s Spiritual Energy. When you do the math, it’s quite a profit.”
“No, this Illusion Array is only the surface, inside there must be another Formation gathering Spiritual Energy…”
In the lake, Xu Yang, who had already digested the Primary Understanding of Array Formation, immediately noticed the extraordinariness of the market at White Dragon Lake.
This made him even more excited, and he immediately swam into the range of the Formation.
It was distinctly noticeable that within the range of this Formation, the Earth
Yuan Qi was much purer. Although it could not compare with Black Water River, let alone the Black Water Forbidden Area, it was far superior to the mortal world.
Xu Yang, swimming in the water like a dragon, traveled several more tens of li before finally spotting an island ahead.
It was an exceedingly vast island where Xu Yang could feel the active Spiritual Energy miles away, with clouds and mists swirling around the island like jade belts or Jiao Dragons, continuously enveloping the land and showing no signs of dissipating.
The spectacle was the result of dense nature’s Spiritual Energy reaching a certain degree of concentration—a miracle and a vision on its own.
The concentration of Spiritual Energy on White Dragon Island was comparable to that of the deep waters of Black Water River, no wonder it could sustain Foundation Establishment Cultivators.
Xu Yang’s eyes narrowed, and he leaped out from the water. Using his Cultivation to dry his clothing, he subsequently treaded across the lake’s surface towards the magical island.
The island had a main gate, the only entrance, guarded by four White Dragon Island disciples in white robes wielding swords on both sides.
“The entry fee is one Spirit Stone,” one of the guards said, seeing Xu Yang who arrived empty-handed and with an unremarkable Cultivation level. He collected the Spirit Stone in a matter-of-fact way..
