Chapter 114 My reputation is completely ruined
Believe it or not! If you continue to pester me, don't blame me for being impolite!
Ji Yin swallowed a mouthful of healing pills.
If this crazy woman makes another move, and a real fight breaks out, at worst they'll both be badly injured.
Seeing that the Yin energy was weakening, Granny Leng knew that if they continued fighting, they would be risking their lives.
"Your traitorous disciple is, in the end, still a member of your Extreme Yin Island."
My niece's death is inextricably linked to your Extreme Yin Island; you owe me an explanation!
Knowing that the dead cannot be brought back to life, the old woman began to set conditions.
"A longevity fruit."
Ji Yin's face turned ashen, and he tossed a jade box to the old woman.
Inside is a spiritual fruit, a product of the Void Heaven Palace, which can be used to refine longevity pills and increase lifespan.
Although eating too much of this fruit is useless, it is still quite precious to Granny Leng.
"Okay, that settles my niece's matter."
The old woman accepted the fruit and turned to leave.
Her niece is already dead; it's not worth fighting the extremely yin old ghost again.
"Hmph, Fellow Daoist Leng, I won't see you off!"
He let out a chilling snort.
He's really having a run of bad luck; even drinking cold water is causing him problems.
After paying the price and sending away the cold old woman who had come knocking on his door, Ji Yin covered his head with his hand and flew straight towards Scorpion Island.
……
A month later.
Kui Xing Island, Kui Xing City.
Qingfeng slowly stepped off a flying boat, his gaze sweeping over the bustling dock.
The docks have now been expanded at least five times, and the number of passenger ships and flying boats coming and going is not much different from that of Tianxing City.
Qingfeng followed the crowd to the city gate.
At this moment, the guards at the city gate were checking the identities of those entering the city.
Cultivators without a spirit ring must register first, otherwise they will not be allowed to enter the city.
"Did they just steal the system from Tianxing City?"
Qingfeng walked to the city gate, paid a sum of spirit stones, and received a simplified version of the spirit ring.
With this spirit ring, you can move freely on Kui Xing Island; otherwise, you will be driven out of Kui Xing City.
As Qingfeng entered the city, his eyes widened slightly.
Today, Kuixing City is much more prosperous than it was decades ago.
The streets are lined with signs.
The store has everything: medicine shops, magical artifact shops, talisman shops, and material shops. There are even a few shops with signs that say "Tianxing City Branch".
Qingfeng approached a Buddhist artifact shop. Through the open doors and windows, he could see that the artifacts displayed inside were of excellent quality.
He continued walking and discovered that several main streets had extended outwards considerably, and the original city walls had even been demolished and rebuilt.
The newly paved bluestone road is flat and wide, enough for two animal-drawn carriages to travel side by side.
"Huh? This setup..."
Looking at the newly built area, Qingfeng felt a sense of familiarity.
"This setup is a simplified version of the Starry Nine Palaces Formation, serving only a defensive purpose!"
Qingfeng looked at the several newly built market towns.
These markets were divided into specific areas: seemingly separate areas for medicinal herbs, ores, finished products, and casual trade.
In reality, a guard tower was built at each of the important locations in these areas.
The line formed by these towers is the shape of a magic circle.
"It seems that Wang Ning and Yuan Yao have gained a deeper understanding of formations over the years."
"They actually managed to set up a city-protecting formation of this caliber."
Qingfeng stopped in front of a medicinal herb stall, picked up a clover, and mentally assessed the defensive capabilities of the protective array.
"Hey, fellow Daoist, you have good taste. This was just picked from the spirit fields on the island this morning, it's very fresh."
The herbal medicine stall owner was a middle-aged Qi Refining cultivator. Seeing Qingfeng stop, he quickly came over to greet him warmly. (Note: The phrase "Professional novel website Cola Novels provides the most comfortable reading experience" appears to be an unrelated advertisement and has been omitted from the translation.)
"Grow it yourself? On the island's sacred fields?"
Qingfeng asked with some confusion.
When he left Kuixing Island, he did not remember any place on the island where rogue cultivators cultivated spiritual herbs.
"I can tell you're from out of town, fellow Daoist. Haven't you been to our Kui Xing Island for many years?"
On our Kuixing Island, we now grow our own medicinal herbs.
The Lord of Qingfeng Island ordered his men to cultivate a large area of spiritual fields on that vacant land, renting them out to independent cultivators and charging only 20% of the harvest as rent.
We, these unaffiliated cultivators, finally have a way to make a living.
I'm not bragging, but our Qingfeng Island Master is the sun among rogue cultivators.
Over the years, he has not cared about one's background, whether you are from a prominent family or a poor, independent cultivator.
Once you arrive at Kui Xing Island and prove your abilities, you can earn spirit stones and receive the protection of the Qingyang Sect, which he represents.
If you really encounter difficulties, the island lord is willing to lend you spirit stones, charging only 10% interest, to help you overcome your difficulties...
The stall owner, intrigued, pointed eastward and began to tell Qingfeng about the deeds of "Lord Qingfeng Island".
After a conversation that lasted about the time it takes to burn an incense stick, Qingfeng finally understood why Kuixing Island was so prosperous.
"I'm about to become a timely rain, a true hero..."
Qingfeng sighed inwardly.
He put down the herbs, said goodbye to the stall owner, and continued on his way.
After walking through several streets, he arrived at the city center.
The changes here are even greater. The old city lord's mansion has long since disappeared, replaced by a five-story white jade pavilion with an extraordinary presence.
In the square in front of the pavilion, there stands a huge jade tablet, covered with densely engraved characters.
Each rule is clearly written: registration is required to enter the island, transactions must be notarized, disputes must be mediated, and private fights will be severely punished... The signature is engraved with the four characters "Lord of Qingfeng Island".
Just as Qingfeng stopped to watch, a young voice rang out behind him.
"Is this your first time here, fellow Daoist?"
Qingfeng turned around and saw a Foundation Establishment cultivator dressed in a gray robe with a kind face and a "Patrol Deacon" token pinned to his chest.
"No, it's more like revisiting a familiar place."
Qingfeng said.
"Oh? Then you must have been here decades ago. Back then, our Kui Xing City wasn't like this at all."
The gray-robed deacon said with a smile.
"The last time I came here was indeed decades ago."
Qingfeng turned to look at the arena not far away.
"That arena hasn't been open for a long time. Since our Qingfeng Island Lord took office, some of the Star Palace's rules have been abolished."
The personnel who had remained on Kuixing Island also gradually withdrew.
Our Kui Xing City is now under the jurisdiction of Qingyang Gate. This southwestern sea region is the most stable and prosperous area here.
A look of pride appeared on the gray-robed deacon's face.
Seeing this, Qingfeng nodded. Combining the stall owner's explanation, Wang Ning had done a very thorough job of removing the Star Palace from Kui Xing Island.
At this time, the Star Palace on Kui Xing Island was almost invisible; what existed were the glorious deeds of the Qingfeng Island Master.
In particular, Qingfeng, as the young master of a major sect and the island lord of Kuixing Island, treats low-level cultivators, rogue cultivators, and scions of aristocratic families equally.
When recruiting disciples, regardless of background, as long as you can prove your ability, you can become a cultivator of the Qingyang Sect.
You can even enter the management level of various areas of Kui Xing Island through selection within the island.
"...Wang Ning, you've completely ruined my reputation as a spoiled young master."
Qingfeng was both amused and exasperated.
Over the course of fifty years, Wang Ning completely whitewashed his reputation.
Previously, the reputation of their Qingyang Sect was closer to the demonic path, but now it is completely independent of both the righteous and demonic paths, becoming a thoroughly neutral force.
