"Perhaps we shouldn't have helped them kill the demon snake."
Zhang Daoyang opened his mouth, revealing a trace of regret.
Old Man Ye shook his head, and then said, "Even if we don't take action, they can still ask for help from the Qi training mid-stage cultivators. There is no way to change the fact that the Lin family is rising."
Qian Boran nodded, then said thoughtfully: "Now it seems that we can only hope that Lin Shengwu's breakthrough will fail."
Ye Linyuan on the side watched everything and never expressed any opinion. He just looked back at Chixing Island, with a hint of coldness in his calm eyes.
"It seems that we need to make some preparations in advance."
"…"
At the same time, on the top of the mountain on Chixing Island, Lin Shengwu, Lin Shengyang, and Lin Xuanhe gathered together and stood in front of a white-haired old man, with a hint of respect in their eyes.
Lin Shengwu slowly bowed to the white-haired old man, and then said, "Father, the people from the six families have been sent away."
"Um."
The white-haired old man nodded, took a sip of the tea, and then said calmly: "Among the seven islands of Xinghu, the Liu, Li, and Wang families have little foundation, and their foundation and strength are not worth worrying about."
"The Qian and Zhang families are both centuries-old immortal cultivation families, so we need to be careful and on guard. Although the Ye family lacks foundation, they do have the trump card left by Qi Lian Yuanman, which makes me a little wary."
"Our Lin family has made a great harvest this time, but we still need to train a second late-stage Qi training master as soon as possible so that we can completely suppress these six families and then control the entire Xinghu Seven Islands."
At this point, the white-haired old man looked at Lin Shengwu and said, "Have you contacted a suitable buyer for the Purple Scale Island Spiritual Vein?"
Lin Shengwu smiled bitterly, and then said respectfully: "The price of a top-grade spiritual eye is very high, and there are very few people in the Qinghe Islands who can afford it."
"Besides, Purple Scale Island is located on the edge of the Blue Crane Islands, and is often invaded by monsters. I'm afraid it won't fetch a good price."
The white-haired old man nodded, but frowned slightly.
The biggest gain they got from killing the purple-scaled snake this time was a top-grade spiritual eye.
This kind of top-grade spiritual eye is of extraordinary value. If sold to the right person, the market price is generally not less than one hundred spiritual stones.
Unfortunately, in the entire Qinghe Islands, there are only a handful of Qi-cultivating monks who can afford to buy top-grade spiritual eyes.
The so-called Qinghe Islands refer to an archipelago consisting of hundreds of scattered islands under the Qinghe Immortal Sect, among which are located hundreds of Qi-training families of all sizes, as well as thousands of independent cultivators.
However, among these independent cultivators, less than one in a hundred can cultivate to the late stage of Qi training, and not many of them can afford a top-grade spiritual eye.
Of course, if it stops there, there are still people who are willing to pay the price to purchase a top-grade spiritual eye in the later stages of Qi training.
After all, a top-grade spiritual eye is related to family inheritance, and is also the place of practice that many casual cultivators dream of. Most casual cultivators in the late stage of Qi training have extraordinary qualities, and there will always be someone who can afford the price of one hundred spirit stones.
Unfortunately, the location of Purple Scale Island is not very good. It is located on the edge of the Blue Crane Islands and is most vulnerable to attacks by monsters. There is no guarantee of safety at all.
Therefore, Lin Shengwu was not very confident about how much this top-grade spiritual eye could be sold for.
Understanding this, the white-haired old man pondered for a moment and said, "Go find Xuanling Sanren. Isn't he a first-class upper-grade spiritual plant husband? I think he can afford the price."
"As long as he is willing to pay, we can sell him the top-grade spiritual eye at a 40% discount."
Lin Shengwu nodded, then said with a smile: "I'll go now."
"Wait."
The white-haired old man called Lin Shengwu again, and then said: "After you get the spirit stones, take out thirty spirit stones to buy a set of first-level middle-grade spirit-locking formation, and use the remaining ten spirit stones to buy a Qi Condensation Pill."
The three people present couldn't help but feel a little surprised when they heard this.
The Qi Condensation Pill is a first-class, superior-grade precious pill that can increase the chances of breaking through the late stage of Qi Refining by 30%.
As for the first-level intermediate-grade Soul-Locking Array, it can lock the spiritual energy and prevent it from being lost, thereby increasing the amount of spiritual energy that can be stored in the Spirit Eye. When used on the top-grade Spirit Eye on Red Star Island, it can approximately increase the spiritual energy storage limit by three times.
Chixing Island already has a first-grade mid-level spirit gathering array, and the speed of converting spiritual energy has doubled.
Once they set up a mid-grade Soul-Locking Array of the next level, they would be able to break through to the later stages of Qi training directly on Red Star Island in the future without having to spend a huge amount of money to rent a soul vein.
Lin Shengwu was even more delighted and looked at the white-haired old man with some anticipation.
The Lin family ancestor nodded, and then said: "Your peak period is not much left, and the breakthrough cannot be delayed any longer."
"Thank you, Father."
Lin Shengwu quickly prostrated himself on the ground, choking with sobs.
The Lin family ancestor did not say much, but took out a dozen spirit stones from his sleeve and handed them to Lin Shengwu, saying: "If you want to set up a spirit gathering formation, you need to invite a formation master to help."
"There are not many spirit stones left in the family. This is the last of the family's reserves. You can use it to invite the formation master. I just hope you won't let me down this time."
"…"
While the Lin family was planning to set up the soul-locking formation, the Ye family had already returned to Yejia Island.
On Ye Family Island, Old Man Ye said goodbye to the six major families. Qian Boran and Zhang Daoyang gave one of their spirit stones to the Ye Family as promised, and then they all said goodbye and left.
After everyone left, Old Man Ye brought everyone from the Ye family into the lobby.
At this moment, everyone showed joy. Ye Linze couldn't help but look at Old Man Ye happily and said, "With these three spiritual stones, my Ye family can try to take a step further."
Everyone present smiled when they heard this.
For Qi training monks, the value of spirit stones is quite high, not to mention that they have obtained three spirit stones at this time.
In the past, Old Man Ye obtained the legacy of a casual cultivator who had achieved the state of refining Qi, but its value added up to no more than thirty spirit stones.
One spiritual stone could buy a first-grade lower-grade magical instrument, or it could be exchanged for an opportunity to rent a spiritual vein to break through to the middle stage of Qi training.
The three spirit stones in front of me can not only bring the opportunity to break through to the middle stage of Qi refining, but can even help me break through three times in a row. Their value can be said to be quite astonishing.
If it weren't for Ye Linyuan, relying solely on Ye's own savings, it would probably take Ye ten years without eating or drinking to collect these three spirit stones.
Thinking of this, everyone present looked at each other, revealing a hint of excitement.
At this time, Old Man Ye covered the three spiritual stones with his hands, and then said directly: "These three spiritual stones are not easy to come by. Two of them were obtained by Lin Yuan. None of you should have any idea of taking them."
When everyone heard this, they took a deep breath and quickly let the thought go.
