"Send a small number of cultivators to Xuankong Island for the time being, and then see how the other forces in Longhu react!"
"If there are no unexpected situations, we can slowly introduce independent cultivators and rebuild Xuankong Island!"
"Of course, it will probably take a long time for Xuankong Island to regain its former prosperity," said Chen Changsheng.
There is a second-grade, top-grade spiritual vein on Xuankong Island. Not to mention the Ancient Cloud Flag, even Chen Changsheng is thinking about it...
Of course, it would be even better if we could get Lingxi Island one day!
Compared to Xuankong Island, Lingxi Island is actually superior in terms of spiritual energy and other aspects...
"I understand. I'll arrange it later!"
"I wonder if Fellow Daoist Ye is living comfortably in our Gu family?" Gu Yunqi said with a smile.
"This place is pretty good... Alliance Leader Gu, do you have any candidate in mind for who to send to rebuild Xuankong Island?" Chen Changsheng said with an idea in his mind.
After all, staying in the Gu family means living under someone else's roof!
Besides, Xuankong Island is much better than the Gu family. At least the spiritual veins there are far better than here!
"What Fellow Daoist Ye means is..." Gu Yunqi hesitated.
"If possible, I still want to take Qing'er to Xuankong Island. I hope Alliance Leader Gu will support me!" Chen Changsheng said.
"This..." Gu Yunqi couldn't help but look at Gu Shan beside him...
"Haha, that's no problem, Fellow Daoist Ye, you are a free man. Our Gu family won't restrict your freedom. You can go wherever you want!"
"However, we still don't know what the situation is on Xuankong Island now. After all, so many cultivators died there... If someone is outraged... then Fellow Daoist Ye's safety will be a problem..." Gu Shan said with a smile.
"It's okay. I believe I still have the ability to protect myself!" Chen Changsheng said lightly.
If he didn't want to reveal his identity, what would happen even if he forcibly occupied the Xuankong Island?
As a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building, he may not be considered a master in the whole Yuezhou, but he can still be rampant in this Longhu area!
"Since Fellow Daoist Ye insists, there will naturally be no problem!"
"It just so happens that the alliance wants to send some people ahead, so why don't you be the leader?" Gu Shan said with a smile.
"Haha, if the leader trusts you, there will naturally be no problem!" Chen Changsheng said with a smile.
The so-called leader probably means that everyone listens to Chen Changsheng. This is of course a good thing. Once he arrives at Xuankong Island, he can choose a cave with the best spiritual energy to practice!
After the matter was settled, the Seventy-two Islands Alliance acted extremely quickly. In just ten days, Chen Changsheng led a hundred Qi-cultivating monks from various major islands and headed towards Xuankong Island.
As they approached Xuankong Island, Chen Changsheng and the others felt an inexplicable chill. After all, many cultivators had died here. Even Chen Changsheng himself couldn't tell if it was a psychological effect...
"Deacon Ye, are we going directly into the city?" Gu Liang bowed and looked at Chen Changsheng.
"Well, let's go in. There are still hundreds of thousands of mortals on Xuankong Island. I don't know how many are still alive..." Chen Changsheng said.
The bloodbath in the market town didn't affect any mortals, but the key point was that the aftermath of the battle between the eight Jindan masters over Xuankong Island was so widespread that even Qigong cultivators found it difficult to withstand it, let alone mortals...
"I guess... there are a lot of casualties..." said Gu Liang.
The immortal cultivators are almost dead, what can mortals do?
"Let's go into the city and take a look first!" Chen Changsheng nodded.
Entering Xuankong Island and arriving at the original market, Chen Changsheng and the others were surprised to find that the current situation here was very different from what they had expected...
They had originally thought that Xuankong Island was devoid of cultivators and in ruins, but after entering the city, they discovered that there were actually quite a few cultivators...
"Why are there so many people?" Chen Changsheng asked in surprise.
"Deacon Ye, let's go and ask first!" Gu Liang said.
"Okay, let's ask them why they are here!" Chen Changsheng nodded.
After a long time, Gu Liang and others returned.
"Deacon Ye, I've asked clearly!"
"Ever since the Xuankong Island massacre, many people died in the city, and their relatives came to Xuankong Island to look for their bodies. As a result, they made other discoveries during the search..." said Gu Liang.
"The property left behind by the dead?" Chen Changsheng asked.
"That's right, that's it... That's why it attracted many wandering cultivators..." said Gu Liang.
"But, such a long time has passed, and the market is only this big. With so many people going up and down, it must have been turned over three times. What can be left? Why don't they leave?" Chen Changsheng asked curiously.
Since they are here to make money from the dead, the money from the dead is limited after all, and most of it goes into their own pockets. The people who come first can indeed drink some soup and water, but the latecomers, there is still no money to be made...
"Deacon Ye, although the dead man's wealth is gone, Xuankong Island is a large-scale second-level spiritual island after all. The spiritual veins here alone are enough to attract many independent cultivators..."
"The second-grade, top-grade spiritual vein is better than the one our Gu family has. It would be strange if these casual cultivators were willing to leave!" Gu Liang said with a smile.
"So it was attracted by the spiritual vein... Haha, this is a good thing..." Chen Changsheng said with a smile.
"Good news?" Gu Liang asked in surprise.
"Yeah, that's a good thing!"
"After the bloody incident on Xuankong Island, the biggest problem in restoring its former prosperity is the lack of people. Now these people are coming over. Don't you think it's a good thing?" Chen Changsheng said with a smile.
"But these people...occupy the best caves on the island..." Gu Liang frowned.
"Occupy? Humph, this Xuankong Island belongs to our Seventy-two Island Alliance. Can they occupy it just like that?"
"Go, issue a notice saying that we, the Seventy-Two Islands Alliance, have returned. If those guys know what's good for them, they'll naturally withdraw. If they don't, we'll secretly kill them!"
"Tell them that Xuankong Island is now distributing spiritual fields. Those who join the Seventy-Two Islands Alliance will receive five mu of spiritual fields and a first-order mid-grade cave dwelling. Those who join the Qi training middle stage will receive ten mu of spiritual fields and a first-order top-grade cave dwelling. Those who join the Qi training late stage will receive twenty mu of spiritual fields and a second-order low-grade cave dwelling!"
"All spiritual fields will be rent-free for the first ten years. After ten years, 10% of the spiritual rice will be collected per acre. After twenty years, 20% will be collected. After thirty years, the maximum will be 30%!"
"The same goes for caves, and the number is limited, first come first served!" Chen Changsheng said with a smile.
To recruit independent cultivators, shouldn’t we offer more benefits?
Ten years of free spiritual farm rent—this offer would probably make the independent cultivators of Longhu Lake ecstatic, not to mention the series of generous benefits that would follow...
"This...should we discuss this with the leader?" Gu Liang hesitated when he heard this.
"Discuss? Discuss what?"
"Alliance Leader Gu said that I will make the final decision on all matters!" Chen Changsheng said calmly.
If it weren't for the fact that a tall tree attracts the wind, as soon as I revealed my identity, I'm afraid that guy Gu Yunqi would immediately step down and let others take over...
