Xiji Island, a southern bay.
On top of the cliff is Cheng Qian’s cave. He is not interested in living in the city of Xiji Island now, but it is okay to go there occasionally to feel the hustle and bustle of life.
At this moment in the cave, besides Cheng Qian fishing on the cliff, there was also a cultivator sitting cross-legged and practicing.
He has a resolute face, a tall stature, and looks a bit like a bodybuilder, with well-defined muscles and neat short hair.
This person is Cheng Qian’s new clone, Zheng Sanjin.
Since it is related to the sea, "Zheng" is borrowed from the surname given to him by Zheng He, who spread the power of the Ming Dynasty across the ocean. "San" is taken from his real name, which also means that three gives birth to all things.
As for "gold", it is very simple. It is simply Cheng Qian's expectation for a clone and his desire for spiritual crystals and spiritual objects.
Zheng Sanjin absorbed an endless stream of spirit crystals. Cheng Qian couldn't bear to look back. Every time he saw this scene, he felt heartbroken.
He set this clone to be a sword cultivator with golden spiritual roots. Sword cultivators are still very prestigious in the world of cultivation.
Moreover, his attack power is sufficient. At the ninth level of the Nascent Soul Realm, plus the bonus of his spiritual roots, he can easily defeat an average Nascent Soul Realm peak cultivator.
As for the equipment, he also had it in his hands. It was obtained in the Qiling Demon Cave. He originally planned to give it to Xue Lingyun as a gift, but he didn't expect what happened later. He was so dazzled that he didn't even think about it after she left.
It was not until a few days ago when he created his clone and arranged to take Gu Shao to propose marriage that he looked for a suitable weapon and found it deep in his storage ring.
Cheng Qian had nothing to do recently so he flipped through the various books brought by the Gu family. He never thought that such a small Gu family could have such a large collection of books and classics.
According to the ancestor of the Gu family who was at the eighth level of foundation building, their branch was stranded from a fourth-level fairy island.
The Gu family was also a large family in the early days.
Cheng Qian happily flipped through the travel notes, listened to his boasting, and even perfunctorily said, "The word 'ancient' is extraordinary."
Most of these books are from the last hundred years, so what he said...is not very credible.
From reading these travel notes, he learned that the sect that had absolute dominance in this area was a sect that had attained the state of transformation.
Their small sea area and the four adjacent areas belong to an affiliated family of the Huashen Sect.
The forces that can survive on the edge of the boundless sea are not that strong, at least their top combat power is definitely not that high.
Therefore, the control over the subordinates would not be so strict. In fact, as long as the subordinates paid tribute, it would be fine, and it would not matter who paid the tribute.
His plan was simple, which was to rob, become a pirate, and become the Pirate King.
They stir up trouble in this area, grab whatever they can, and extort money from those who cannot be grabbed. In short, they take advantage of others.
He even thought of attacking passing merchant ships.
No matter whether there is support from some great immortal sect in the inland or support from some great immortal island in the inland sea, it is impossible that there will be gods on every ship.
Cheng Qian has always aimed to build his career on a large scale with a grand vision.
Therefore, after Zheng Sanjin achieved success in his cultivation, the first thing he did was to subdue the robbers and pirates in the nearby waters and bring them under his command.
Zheng Sanjin wants to be a pirate king here.
He dares to rob merchant ships that others dare not, and he goes to islands that others dare not plunder.
The main point is that there are no taboos and you can do whatever you want.
As for the main body, he will first vacation on this Xiji Island for a while, wait for the situation here to pick up, and then run away to another place to prepare for the transformation into a god.
After all, the God Transformation stage is different from the Nascent Soul stage, and the God Transformation cultivators are still very eye-catching at certain times.
It takes a long time to lay the groundwork with an identity so that the breakthrough will not appear so abrupt.
This was also the news he heard by chance in the Immortal City. Every time a God of Transformation appeared, unless you had your own Immortal City or Immortal Sect, your background would most likely be investigated.
Of course, he also has a backup plan, such as using a clone to enter a certain immortal sect, and then replace it without anyone noticing.
But you have to follow the basic rules with that method. You can't reach the peak of the Nascent Soul stage after only being in the Immortal Sect for ten or eight years.
Cheng Qian stared at the sea in a daze, which reminded him of the days when he went fishing in Xiancheng. Could this fish be the same fish from Xiancheng?
It’s always the same bad habit!
While Cheng Qian was complaining about the cunning of these sea fish, the city of Xiji Island was decorated with lights and colors.
This is the wedding day of Gu Shao, the nominal owner of Xiji Island, and Yan Runing, the eldest daughter of the Yan family of Cuizhu Island.
Many people don't understand why the eldest daughter of the Jindan Yan family, which has already dominated the industry, would marry into a small foundation-building family.
Even the Yan family's Jindan came to show their support.
Many families in this sea area did not attend the Yan family’s auction.
Especially those families with deep foundation.
So they were a little confused about the scene before them.
You said that Yan Runing once served a Jindan cultivator, so it's okay as long as there is a relationship between them.
How could that kid named Gu Shao get the Yan family's Jindan and the patriarch to toast him?
"Grandfather, I can't figure it out. I can't figure it out."
A foundation-building cultivator asked the old ancestor who was at the peak of the foundation-building stage beside him in confusion.
"Shut up. I just asked a fellow Taoist. This guy is a pig pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger. I don't know where he got the opportunity, but now he is a Jindan cultivator."
The young monk's eyes lit up.
"What a great opportunity it must be for a little-known person like him to become a Jindan cultivator."
"Put away your little thoughts. How long has the Xu family disappeared without a sound? Are you more powerful than the Xu family? Use your fish brain!"
The young man still looked indignant, "It's not necessarily that he did it."
"Humph, does it matter whether it's him or not? If we mess with this guy, the Xu family will be gone. This is what people see. Don't make trouble for me. Do you understand?"
The young monk nodded, but his eyes became vague.
He was forced to come back from the Fourth-Level Immortal Island to participate in the management of the family and prepare to take over the family in the future. Those fellow Taoists from the Fourth-Level Immortal Island called this place a remote and poor place.
He felt that way now.
It's just a golden elixir. He is on the fourth-level fairy island. There are several famous restaurants and even famous incense pavilions. As long as the spirit crystals are given, there will be golden elixir cultivators to serve.
Although he claimed to have seen the world, he actually did not have that much respect for the golden elixir.
He had decided to tell the children of the big families he knew in the Fourth-Level Immortal Island about this matter, and he thought they would definitely be interested.
At the main seat, Yan Chengxiao asked Gu Shao, "Would you like to offer a toast to the senior?"
Gu Shao shook his head and said that the senior was in seclusion and did not want to be disturbed.
He knew that Yan Chengxiao was asking about senior Zheng Sanjin who appeared out of nowhere.
As for the other Senior Cheng, I think he is still fishing. The habits of these big guys are a bit weird.
They scatter handfuls of bait, obviously to feed the fish, but they insist on saying they are baiting and fishing.
But he didn't dare say much. If he wasn't afraid that his senior would displease him, he could even dive to the bottom of the water and catch fish for him one by one, without catching the same ones twice for a long time.
Yan Chengxiao showed a hint of disappointment, then immediately put on a smile and said to Gu Shao.
"If you see me someday, I hope I can tell you something. A merchant ship will arrive at Jingbo Island to hold an auction. If you are interested, I am willing to accompany you and show you the way."
Gu Shao said, "If I see it, I will convey it."
But in my heart I was saying, your abacus beads have hit me in the face. I was thinking of relying on the protection of my senior so I should just say it directly, and I even pretended to be hypocritical and said I would accompany my senior.
Bah, hypocrisy.
"Thank you very much, my dear son-in-law. If I can convince you, I will bring a batch of cultivation resources to the Gu family, which will be 50% more than the dowry this time!"
Gu Shao nodded perfunctorily.
Yan Chengxiao thought that with such a powerful senior who was partial to his Yan family or at least partial to his Yan family's son-in-law, this interaction should be safe enough.
