The first generation of islanders were gifted practitioners taken in by immortals.
With their powerful cultivation, the spiritual beasts on the island are no match for them.
But not all of their descendants were geniuses, and their cultivation was not very good, so they gradually became no match for the spiritual beasts on the island.
Even their current shelter.
They all rely on the position of island master and spend their lifespan to gain a place to live.
"So, do you want to leave Penglai Island and seek a place to live outside, or do you want us to help you take back your land?"
Yunyang asked.
He prefers the second option.
Having personally experienced the concentration of spiritual power on Penglai Island, he didn't believe that the other party would be willing to leave on their own initiative.
This is a treasure trove.
No matter how dangerous it is, there is profit to be made.
The island owner kept shaking his head.
"Neither. It seems that a king of beasts has appeared on the island recently."
"Under its guidance, we haven't been attacked by high-level spirit beasts for a long time. Survival is no longer a problem."
"Besides, you..."
Yunyang seemed to understand something from the island owner's compassionate eyes.
Wait, the other party doesn’t think that they are incapable of dealing with the spiritual beasts on the island, right?
Yunyang immediately interrupted.
"Excuse me, how do you usually communicate with the outside world?"
"There are always lost fishing boats that crash into the Penglai Island area, and we can always learn something from their conversations."
"When was the last time we encountered a fishing boat?" Yun Yang asked again.
"About three hundred years ago."
In fact, the island owner couldn't remember clearly either.
After all, the life expectancy of the people on the island is dozens of times that of ordinary humans.
Counting in years is too detailed for them.
Yunyang breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's not surprising."
More than three hundred years ago.
The first industrial revolution hadn't even begun.
No wonder they have such a profound misunderstanding of modern firepower.
Although the outside world is also suffering from extraordinary disasters, it does not mean that they have no way to eliminate it.
It’s just that all countries are concerned about their own land and don’t want to use weapons with excessive destructive power.
If the five major gangsters were to "rescue" the small country that had suffered greatly from the extraordinary disaster, and ensure that the spoils would be contributed to the aiding party.
I believe the scene will be very different.
That's all.
Since the island owner didn't want their help, Yunyang didn't rush to explain.
How can the person who helps others need to provide proof to the person who asks for help?
The island owner paused and continued, "We would like to request another thing..."
"No matter what happens, it has nothing to do with me!"
The First Emperor interrupted him impatiently.
"Stop babbling! I'm only here for the elixir of immortality. Take care of my business first, and then you can discuss it on your own!"
Yunyang's eyelids twitched when he heard this.
He hurriedly smiled at the island owner.
"Hahaha, Mr. Zhao is quite impatient. How about we talk about this first?"
"You said on the beach that anyone who comes to the island with a visiting card will be eligible to learn the secret of immortality. Am I remembering this correctly?"
The island owner glanced at the First Emperor, then at Yunyang, who seemed easy to talk to.
His eyes were complicated, but he nodded.
"I know what you all want. The most valuable item on Penglai Island is indeed the elixir of immortality."
"This is just a matter of life and death for the people of Penglai. Please let me finish what I have to say."
Yunyang grasped the key points.
"So according to your rules, we can get the elixir of immortality without any help?"
"Humph, what if we don't follow the rules of the older generation?"
There was anger flashing in the eyes of the island owner.
"Just because of a piece of waste paper? Why should we exchange the promise made by our ancestors? Why should we exchange it for the elixir of immortality?"
"Big brother."
"Second brother, there's no need to persuade me. The Immortal Elixir is so precious, there are plenty of people out there who can exchange it for it! At worst, we can just let them go and go out to sea to find them ourselves!"
“Big Brother!”
This time the island owner added emphasis.
The other party was dissatisfied and retreated.
The First Emperor sneered at the right time.
"Your acting skills are decent, but it makes me miss the old ministers in the court."
A look of embarrassment flashed across the island owner's face, and the "angry" eldest brother behind him also turned his face away.
Seen through.
The island owner said slowly, "I'm sorry to have made a fool of myself for His Majesty the Emperor."
"It's quite interesting."
"Ah? Ah? Ah?" Yun Yang was extremely surprised. "You know each other?"
Fortunately, he kept trying to conceal the identity of the First Emperor along the way.
The island owner stroked his beard and smiled.
"The island wasn't completely isolated from the rest of the world, so they were naturally aware of the change in self-proclaimed names. As early as two thousand years ago, no fishermen called themselves 'Zhen' anymore."
Yunyang slapped his head in frustration.
After spending so much time with the First Emperor, I forgot about this.
The First Emperor smiled complacently.
"That is my will, of course no one dares to disobey."
"Could this Majesty be the founding emperor of the Qin Dynasty?"
Now it was the island owner's turn to be surprised.
"You're still alive? I'm sure your experience is no less than ours in Penglai."
"But there's no emperor outside now," Yun Yang said quickly, "He's a free man and has no intention of restoring his country."
The First Emperor was not convinced, but he still knew what was more important.
He nodded in agreement reluctantly.
Yunyang smiled good-naturedly.
"So the chips we can offer are limited. I hope you understand this and don't harbor unnecessary illusions."
The elixir of immortality is not a necessity for China, so there is no need to rush for it for the time being.
Trying to use this to control them is probably a wrong approach.
"The problem on Penglai Island can't have just occurred recently, and there has been no contact with the outside world."
"This shows that the plan is not easy to implement. In the end, we can only stay on the island and wait for someone to come to the island with a visiting card."
"So, we are still your only buyer."
The island owner looked even more embarrassed.
"That's true, but before the crisis of the Penglai people is resolved, I will never provide any clues about the elixir of immortality or immortality!"
"What did you say!" The First Emperor glared at him.
"Let me do it." Yunyang stopped the First Emperor.
If the First Emperor were to come and communicate, they would start fighting immediately.
The First Emperor didn't want to know what was happening on Penglai Island, but he did want to!
I wish I could ask more questions!
As for whether he agrees to help...that'll have to wait and see.
"Didn't you say that it's our ancestral precept to provide immortality to those with name cards? Aren't you afraid of violating this precept?"
Yunyang asked directly.
"When my life is about to end, how can I care about anything else?"
The island owner showed sadness on his face.
"The ancestral precepts only allow us to fulfill a request from a distant guest. By eating these spiritual fruits that increase your cultivation and prolong your life, you have fulfilled the ancestral precepts."
"And then you'll use some immortality elixir or some other longevity method as a reward to get us to help you?"
"Exactly. Equality is also our ancestral teaching."
What a coward!
Yunyang complained in his heart.
Isn’t this the tactic used by unscrupulous restaurants to force purchases?
It can be considered a little moral, but not much.
Now that they've found out, you might as well just give up on having any morals at all, right?
The investigator would not be tempted, but the First Emperor would definitely not be able to walk.
Yunyang could only listen to the other party's troubles first, what exactly was it...
