After transmigrating, I cultivated immortality by smelling the scent.

Chapter 249 Preparations for Dongxing Island

Before long, the group returned to Dongxing Island, the largest island in the Dongjiao Islands.

Upon landing, Sun Siyu immediately contacted the elders of the Qingxia Sect on Dongxing Island to inform them that a demonic beast would attack in three days and to prepare them.

Soon, Zhou Tong, the Core Formation stage elder of Qingxia Sect stationed on Dongxing Island, along with the outer sect elders of Qingxia Sect from the vicinity, arrived at Sun Siyu's location.

"What? Elder Sun, is the demon race really going to attack the East Reef Islands? Could the information be wrong?" Zhou Tong asked incredulously upon hearing Sun Siyu's account of the demon race's attack.

“The news is absolutely true. First, we need to spread the word and activate the protective formations on all the islands in the East Reef Archipelago. Second, we need to recruit independent cultivators to resist the invasion of the demon race!” Sun Siyu said with a serious expression.

"Yes!"

"If there are too few independent cultivators willing to come, how can we, the disciples of Qingxia Sect, resist tens of thousands of demons?" Although Zhou Tong had never seen a large-scale attack by demons on human territory before, he had heard of it.

Every time the demon race attacks human territory, there are countless low-level demon beasts as the vanguard, fearlessly charging at human cultivators.

Without a sufficient number of powerful human cultivators, it would be difficult to withstand the onslaught of a large number of demons.

Although there are many independent cultivators, their strength is relatively low. They are generally cautious and unwilling to participate in dangerous matters such as attacking demons unless there is a generous reward.

This involves the expenses of recruiting independent cultivators, and at this time, the Qingxia Sect didn't have many spirit stones.

Even the so-called landlords had no surplus grain.

Although Qingxia Sect is nominally the master of the Dongjiao Islands and its annual income is indeed considerable, most of the income is handed over to Qingxia Sect, leaving not many spirit stones for the Dongjiao Islands.

"Not enough spirit stones?" Sun Siyu immediately understood one of the difficulties.

"The spirit stones needed to pay the rogue cultivators can be borrowed from several merchants in the East Reef Islands. After all, they make a fortune in the East Reef Islands every year. For example, that seafood restaurant, a single serving of East Reef lobster costs over a hundred spirit stones. These merchants are not short of spirit stones!"

"Understood! I'll get on it right away!" After receiving Sun Siyu's signal, Zhou Tong knew what to do next.

After everyone left, Sun Siyu sent a telepathic message to her master: "Master, the demon race is about to attack the East Reef Islands. Please come to our aid immediately!"

Having overheard Sun Siyu's telepathic message to her master Huang Jiansheng, Huang Jiansheng understood that a Nascent Soul cultivator would arrive shortly, which meant the situation in the Dongjiao Islands would definitely be much better.

Speaking of Sun Siyu's master, Huang Jiansheng, Ye Xiaobai once refined the Five Blessings Detoxification Pill for him, so they are acquaintances. I wonder what level his cultivation has reached now.

"Fairy Sun, what level has your master, Senior Huang, reached in cultivation?" Ye Xiaobai couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Mid-stage Nascent Soul!" Sun Siyu said proudly.

"Then we're safe now. The demon race only has one eighth-order transformed demon king! We have an eighth-order transformed great demon and a Nascent Soul cultivator on our side. The advantage is on our side!" After hearing Huang Jiansheng's cultivation level, Ye Xiaobai felt much more at ease.

I've come all this way, I don't want to face a tough battle.

……

Three hours later, Huang Jiansheng rushed to Dongxing Island, where the island's protective formation had already been fully activated.

The person guarding the formation was startled when he saw such a powerful person, but he was relieved when he learned that reinforcements from the Qingxia Sect had arrived.

After all, a major battle was imminent, and everyone was extremely nervous, not wanting anything unexpected to happen.

When Huang Jiansheng saw Ye Xiaobai, he was immediately shocked by Ye Xiaobai's cultivation level. The last time they met, Ye Xiaobai was only at the late Foundation Establishment stage. Now, more than ten years later, Ye Xiaobai has reached the late Core Formation stage.

"Master Ye, it's been many years since we last met. I heard you performed exceptionally well at the Alchemist Alliance headquarters, and now your cultivation has improved rapidly. You truly deserve to be called a genius among alchemists!" Huang Jiansheng said with a smile.

"Haha, you flatter me, senior. I was just lucky! I'll have to trouble you again this time!" Ye Xiaobai said respectfully.

"Haha, what are you saying? This is a matter for our Qingxia Sect!"

"Master, what do you mean? You only have eyes for Master Ye and completely ignore your disciple! Who is your real disciple anyway?" Sun Siyu teased, slightly displeased.

“My good disciple, didn’t we just run into an acquaintance? It was just a greeting! By the way, I heard that the news of the demon attack was brought by Master Ye Dan?” Huang Jiansheng took a sip of spiritual tea and then asked.

“That’s right, here’s what happened…” Sun Siyu then explained the details to Huang Jiansheng.

"Great! There's also an eighth-order Transformation stage demon as an undercover agent. Master Ye's strength is becoming more and more unpredictable!" Huang Jiansheng said excitedly after hearing Sun Siyu's introduction.

"Hehe, compared to you, senior, I'm still far behind!" Ye Xiaobai chuckled.

"Hey, I've wanted to invite Master Ye to join our Qingxia Sect before, but I was too rushed last time and didn't have time to say it. So, Master Ye, would you be willing to join our Qingxia Sect? Name your price!" Huang Jiansheng said confidently.

"Thank you for your kindness, senior. My strength comes from the White Tiger Sect, and I have not considered changing sects yet!" Ye Xiaobai directly refused Huang Jiansheng's offer.

"Master Ye, please don't be so quick to refuse. I've heard that you're just an inner sect elder in the White Tiger Sect, and you're crammed into a spiritual peak with other alchemists to cultivate. That's really too unfair to you. If you're willing to join our Qingxia Sect, you can choose any spiritual vein within the sect. I keep my word! No one else in the sect will object."

Huang Jiansheng intensified his temptations, but Ye Xiaobai remained unmoved.

"Thank you again for your kind offer, senior. My sect is doing quite well right now. Our focus should be on the demon race's attack in three days!" Ye Xiaobai quickly changed the subject, as it was best not to mention changing sects.

"Master Ye, you're overthinking it. With your eighth-order transformed demon under your command, plus my mid-Nascent Soul stage strength, even if you just sit there drinking tea, I'll take care of the demon race's affairs for you!"

After hearing this, Ye Xiaobai could only nod repeatedly in agreement with Huang Jiansheng's statement.

"Speaking of which, Master Ye, are you really not considering it? By the way, I heard that Master Ye doesn't have a Daoist partner yet. It must be so hard for someone so young to cultivate alone. How about I introduce you to an excellent female alchemist to be your Daoist partner?" Huang Jiansheng said, not forgetting to give Sun Siyu a meaningful look.

Sun Siyu immediately understood her master's meaning, and her face quickly turned red. She had originally called her master to resist the demon race, but who knew what her master was thinking and came to play matchmaker for her.

"Thank you for your kindness, senior, but I'm not in the mood for that right now. By the way, I wonder how the team outside that's organizing the rogue cultivators to hunt down the demonic beasts is doing? I'd like to go check on them!"

Ye Xiaobai found an excuse and ran away from this troublesome place.

Unexpectedly, this unintentional act yielded unexpected results.
