After Ling Bo arranged the two matters, it immediately caused a stir among the outer sect cultivators who were originally at the foundation-building stage. In the eyes of all the cultivators, Du Tong was a loner by nature and did not like to interact with others, but he had no other evil deeds.

A curious person followed the monks who were building the caves of the sect to go to Pearl Island to take a look. He was immediately shocked and came back to describe the scene of Pearl Island in vivid detail. Only then did he realize that the sect's words were true.

As for whether Du Tong was dead or alive, Jiang Yun didn't say anything. He hadn't seen his body, so he couldn't say for sure. But based on the situation at the time, it was highly likely that he was dead.

Thanks to the sect's actions, Pearl Island was soon tidied up. Because the terrain had changed, a small hillside appeared in the middle. Therefore, the new cave was built along the hillside, and part of it was hollowed out of the mountain.

Outside the cave was a well-planned medicinal garden with a well-formed formation. This was the scene Jiang Yun saw when he arrived at Pearl Island.

"Yeah, that's good. That's thoughtful."

Jiang Yun saw at a glance that the formations on Pearl Island and the newly built cave were all built to the highest standards of foundation building. They were completely different from the ordinary wooden house. Instead, it was a fully functional cave, more like a cave than a medicine garden.

"As long as you are satisfied, I'm glad. Last time, it was all my fault for not finding out more about the situation ahead of time. In the end, you saved my life. I will never forget your kindness, Senior Brother!"

Ling Bo, who was standing beside Jiang Yun, spoke in a panic, because in the past few days, there were rumors in the city that he had secretly colluded with Du Tong to kill Jiang Yun because of his previous public confession.

Therefore, Ling Bo did not dare to be negligent. He paid for the construction of the cave according to the maximum specifications out of his own pocket. Knowing that Jiang Yun liked all kinds of rare spiritual medicines and herbs, he also sent people to various large islands to purchase them.

Jiang Yun listened to the other party's words and waved his hand, not caring at all. Although the last time was indeed dangerous, it also allowed him to connect with Bixia Zhenjun. It could be considered a blessing in disguise.

After seeing Ling Bo off, Jiang Yun entered the new cave. As soon as he entered the cave's exclusive formation, Jiang Yun felt that this place was much better than the city.

Not only does it have all the functions, it also has various classifications, such as an area specifically for monks to test spells, a land specifically for monks to practice, and even a good spirit gathering array.

There is also a spiritual medicine area where you can plant some temporary rare spiritual medicines and herbs.

Jiang Yun was overjoyed when he saw this and immediately planted some of the spiritual herbs and herbs he had wanted to grow for a long time. There was no such opportunity in Biyun City.

And then, Jiang Yun started his daily practice again.

"Huh, finally the mid-term is complete."

Time flies. Jiang Yun has been practicing in seclusion on Pearl Island. Another year has passed after several days of retreat.

He fixed his eyes on the dotted panel in front of him, and suddenly columns of text appeared before his eyes.

【Year Point: 3451】

Jiang Yun hadn't used any of his Hour Points over the years, saving them for the most crucial moment. His Soul Realm had already reached the late Foundation Establishment stage a year ago, and now it had reached the middle Foundation Establishment stage. Furthermore, if Jiang Yun wanted, he could use Hour Points to upgrade to the middle Foundation Establishment stage at any time.

But he planned to take a good rest for a few days before advancing to the later stage. Jiang Yun casually opened the sound transmission talisman and received the sound transmission from his sister.

The other party was planning to come to Pearl Island to find him. Jiang Yun casually sent a message that he had come out of seclusion, then stood up and looked at the spiritual medicine area in front of him. Here he planted a rare tea tree and used the magic of planting to speed up the growth of the tea tree.

He casually plucked a few tender leaves from the top of the tea tree and roasted them with the True Fire within him. Immediately, a strange fragrance lingered in the cave for a long time. Then, Jiang Yun took out the spring water from the depths of Bibotan Lake and brewed a cup of strong tea. He began to sip the tea leisurely.

Not long after Jiang Yun sent the message, he saw a talisman flying towards him from inside the cave. He took it and heard Jiang Qiuyue's voice from inside.

"Brother, I'm here, open the door!"

Jiang Yun opened the formation, and Jiang Qiuyue's figure soon appeared in front of Jiang Yun.

"Brother, you moved here, so close to Bibotan, why don't you come to see me?"

Listening to Jiang Qiuyue's words, Jiang Yun smiled helplessly and said:

"I've basically spent this year in seclusion, and now I'm already in the middle stage of foundation building. If you don't work harder, I'll surpass you."

Jiang Qiuyue's realm is also the middle stage of foundation building, which is similar to Jiang Yun's current realm. As long as they are both in the middle stage, they are considered to be in the same realm. It is just unknown whether the other party has reached the perfection of the middle stage.

"I've been practicing every day, but I only found out after I came out of retreat that my brother was looking for me. Later, Master took action, so I came to take a look."

After Jiang Qiuyue finished speaking, she sat down on the chair next to Jiang Yun without any hesitation and began to ask Jiang Yun about what happened. Jiang Yun roughly recounted the incident. He didn't know many of the doubts afterwards, but he couldn't ask Bixia Zhenjun.

Hearing this, Jiang Qiuyue smiled and said:

"I came to see my brother this time just to tell you what happened."

It turned out that after Jiang Qiuyue came out of retreat, she learned about what happened to Jiang Yun on Pearl Island. She immediately went to thank her master and asked about some of the things. True Lord Bixia told her disciple the reasons.

"So, the merman's goal is to return to the upper realm?"

Jiang Yun then realized what the black hole in space was all about. It turned out to be the inner elixir of the mermaids preparing to return to the upper realm. The mermaids were originally a species that lived in the upper realm.

Jiang Yun then understood what the mural he had seen at that time meant. That was why the mermaids died one by one after they came to the lower world.
