Chapter 191 Resistance to Beauty
Upon hearing Wang Chong's question, Qingfeng nodded.
"That's right, the great war in the Chaotic Star Sea is about to begin. The Star Palace and the Reverse Star Alliance are fighting each other, and we rogue cultivators are caught in the middle, just cannon fodder."
It would be better to find a neutral power to settle down in temporarily.
The Qingyang Sect is quite powerful, and with a master like the Three Yangs Master in charge, it should be a safe choice.
"Is it true that the Venerable Sanyang you mentioned is about to break through to the late Nascent Soul stage?"
Wang Chong asked tentatively.
"Hehe, I only heard the rumors. But Qingyang Sect has always been a neutral force."
At this point, there is no better place to go.
Even if Master Sanyang fails to break through, Qingyang Sect still has Nascent Soul elders such as Manhuzi and Qingyi to oversee things.
Furthermore, with the defensive array already in place on Kui Xing Island, self-preservation should be assured.
"Qingfeng said."
Wang Chong had heard of Kuixing Island and knew it was the most powerful island in the southwestern sea.
In recent decades, the Qingyang Sect has gained increasing renown. In particular, it is known for its inclusive approach to disciple recruitment, regardless of background.
In recent decades, more Nascent Soul cultivators have joined, making it one of the top sects in the entire Chaotic Star Sea in terms of overall strength.
"Alas, how could I not know the dangers of staying on Dongli Island?"
But the Wang family has been operating here for hundreds of years. Their businesses, cave dwellings, spiritual fields, shops... none of them are the result of generations of hard work.
It's really hard to give up this place now.
Wang Chong looked at the several Foundation Establishment stage elders.
"Third Elder, have all the disciples of the clan returned?"
"Everyone's here."
The Third Elder quickly replied.
"Then inform the entire clan to pack their bags immediately and take everything they can. We will leave Dongli Island in half a day to seek refuge on Kuixing Island."
Wang Chong gave the instructions.
"Isn't this a bit too hasty? We'll probably need to arrange some ships for the mortals in the family."
The Third Elder asked hesitantly.
"Then three days. We must depart in three days."
Wang Chong was very decisive in his actions.
As one of the twenty-four outer star islands, Dongli Island has a rather complex array of forces.
There are medium-sized sects associated with the Star Palace, cultivation families like them, and the lineage of the island lord who took office through the shady dealings of the "Star Picking Conference".
Now, both the Reverse Star Alliance and the Star Palace are demanding that the forces in the Chaotic Star Sea take sides, and Dongli Island will inevitably become a battlefield sooner or later.
"Fellow Daoist Feng, I heard you came to Dongli Island to collect some spiritual herbs?"
After arranging things, Wang Chong looked at Qingfeng again.
"Yes, I do need some resources."
Qingfeng didn't stand on ceremony and directly took out a jade slip from his pocket and handed it over.
"There are several medicinal herbs that come from Dongli Island. Fellow Daoist Wang, do you have any connections to help us acquire them quickly? Spirit stones are not a problem."
Wang Chong took the jade slip and probed it with his divine sense. He saw that it listed the names of seven or eight kinds of spiritual herbs.
"Hehe, my Wang family's shop has some of these medicinal herbs in stock."
Wang Chong handed the jade slip to an elder beside him.
"Fourth brother, go to the storeroom and check it out. Get all the available medicinal herbs. If there's not enough, send someone to buy them from other shops in the city."
The elder accepted the jade slip, took the order, and left.
"Fellow Daoist Wang, how many spirit stones do you need?"
Qingfeng asked.
"Guests are always welcome, and it's my honor to make your acquaintance. What harm is there in giving you these medicinal herbs and supplies? Haha!"
Wang Chong smiled and waved his hand.
"In that case, it would be impolite of me to refuse."
Qingfeng bowed and thanked him.
This head of the Wang family is decisive and doesn't hesitate, and he's also very generous.
With his help, it's much more convenient than going to each shop and asking around.
The two then chatted for a few more minutes, and the topic returned to the situation in the Chaotic Star Sea.
"Fellow Daoist just said that the Star Palace and the Reverse Star Alliance are bound to fight. In your opinion, how long will this battle last? And who will ultimately emerge victorious?"
Wang Chong wanted to hear what this rough-looking man in hemp clothing had to say. He always felt that this rough man's judgment of the situation was better than his own, the head of the family.
Qingfeng picked up his teacup and gently blew on the floating tea leaves.
"For decades, for centuries... it doesn't really matter how long they fought or who won."
Even if the Reverse Star Alliance ultimately defeats the Star Palace, those powerful figures from both the righteous and demonic paths will divide up all the good territories, leaving us with nothing.
So before they start fighting, it's best to find a safe place to stay.
Qingfeng felt uneasy thinking about what was to come, given that the Reverse Star Alliance and the Star Palace had been fighting for hundreds of years.
If Han Li hadn't intervened at the last minute, the Six Paths Supreme Saint would have actually won.
However, with him around now, all those Reverse Star Alliances and Star Palaces will eventually be trampled underfoot by his Qingyang Sect.
The chaotic star sea can only have one sun—himself.
"Fellow Daoist Feng..."
Just as Wang Chong was about to say something more, a series of hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the hall.
A member of the Wang family, who was in the Foundation Establishment stage, strode in and bowed respectfully.
"Master, the island lord has sent an invitation to you to attend a meeting."
Wang Chong frowned, took the invitation, and unfolded it to examine it.
"The island lord invites the leaders of all factions to the island lord's mansion tomorrow at noon to discuss countermeasures against the attack of the Reverse Star Alliance..."
After a moment, his expression became complicated, and then he looked at Qingfeng.
"Fellow Daoist Feng, I will be going to the City Lord's Mansion tomorrow, so I will not be able to personally entertain you."
"Fellow Daoist Feng, I will be going to the City Lord's Mansion tomorrow, so I will not be able to personally entertain you."
If you have any needs, you can just tell the Fifth Elder.
Wang Chong said.
"I don't need anything, just arrange a quiet room."
Qingfeng waved his hand.
"It seems you never forget cultivation, fellow Daoist. Compared to you, I am rather lazy."
Wang Chong joked about himself, then waved his hand and instructed his subordinates to arrange a quiet room with abundant spiritual energy for Qingfeng.
"Fellow Daoist Wang, then I won't disturb you any longer. Once the spiritual herbs and materials have been collected, just send them directly to the stone chamber."
Qingfeng cupped his hands in farewell and rose to take his leave.
He took advantage of his free time to tidy up.
"Alright, I'll have someone take you there. Ying'er, you take Feng Daoist there."
Wang Chong summoned a beautiful young female cultivator with a curvaceous figure; she appeared to be his daughter.
"Yes, Father."
Wang Ying glanced at Qingfeng, then smiled and led the way.
Qingfeng is now a rough-looking man in hemp clothing, with an ordinary appearance. The other party's overtures are most likely an attempt to win him over.
Unfortunately, he was immune to the allure of beauty.
Although Wang Ying was quite beautiful, she paled in comparison to Shi Die, let alone Wang Ning and Yuan Yao.
Upon arriving at the quiet room where distinguished guests were to be received, Qingfeng dismissed her and did not engage in any in-depth conversation with her.
After setting up the isolation array, he took out some materials he had obtained in the Void Heaven Palace.
"The Fire Pearl, the Fire Spirit Dragon... Using these materials to integrate into the Fat Sun Bird Scroll can upgrade and enhance its power."
The roots of the Longevity Fruit Tree are intact. You can first use spirit stones to repair them, and then try to accelerate the ripening and fruiting.
The little guy, Tihun, sleeps after eating his fill; he'll probably advance to the next level after waking up. The Gold-Eating Insect, having devoured the Iron Fire Ant, has also undergone significant changes.
The Azure Ice Pearl is not something that a Core Formation stage cultivator can refine yet, but a wisp of it can be extracted and fused into the Demon Flame to enhance some of the Azure Ice Flame's properties.
I can't activate the Void Heaven Cauldron right now. The only treasures left inside besides the Wolf Head Jade Ruyi are a Heaven-Mending Pill.
Next up are the Soul-Nourishing Wood, the Ten-Thousand-Year Spiritual Milk, and some spoils from the Extreme Yin Storage Bag…”
Qingfeng opened the system and upgraded the Zhiyang Bird Painting Scroll into a permanent Fire Spirit Magic Treasure that does not consume any uses.
Then they accelerated the ripening of the Longevity Fruit tree, obtaining more than a dozen Longevity Fruits in good condition.
After carefully storing the Longevity Fruit, he began to inventory the extremely yin storage bag. He then refined the coffin magic treasure containing the Heavenly Capital Corpse Puppet.
