Chapter 29: Going out to sea
A few days after the storm, all residents on Liuli Island received instructions, requiring every household to check whether the island protection formation was damaged.
The method of investigation is also simple. Liuli Mansion will distribute a talisman. Just hang the talisman at home for a few days and nights and observe whether there will be any red light coming out.
As for other remote corners on the island, there are also special people responsible for them.
"The island protection formation has 367,800 nodes. We must ensure that there are no abnormalities in each node." Under the will of the Immortal Master, and also for the sake of his own safety, everything on Liuli Island was suspended, and priority was given to maintaining the island protection formation.
In the past, the Immortal Master would coordinate the maintenance of the formation, but this time it was said that the spirit stones needed to keep the formation running were almost consumed, so the Immortal Master returned to Wanxian Island to get the spirit stones.
Li Fan also got the talisman.
He hung the talisman at home, and when he sensed it carefully, he could faintly sense an invisible wave spreading from it.
After expanding outward for a distance, it turned back as if it had encountered some obstacle.
As the wave returned, the talisman lit up with a blue light.
After a few breaths, the blue light went out.
The fluctuations continue to occur again.
Over and over again.
"The self-inspection of the formation consists of 360 flashes of the talisman as a small cycle, and 360 small cycles as a large cycle. As long as there is no red light in a large cycle, it means the formation is fine." Li Fan recalled the other party's instructions when he was given the talisman.
"This island protection formation is so huge and yet so sophisticated. It's hard to imagine how it was built."
"It is said that Wanxian Island is where most of the immortal cultivators in this sea of clouds gather. It is extremely mysterious, and even Manager Zhao doesn't know much about it.
"I only know that if the mortals on the island can wash away the miasma and draw the qi into their bodies, an immortal master will come and take them to the Island of Ten Thousand Immortals."
"It seems that this is my goal in this life."
However, things have to be done step by step. The first thing is to get a place on the seagoing fleet so that you have a chance to enter the Purifying Spirit Pool.
Li Fan has waited for hundreds of years, so naturally he is not in a hurry.
Time passed quietly amid the islanders' anxious prayers.
Five days later, the results came out to the relief of everyone on the island.
The island protection formation was not damaged.
And with the return of the immortal master with enough spirit stones, the residents of the island finally felt relieved.
Life on Liuli Island gradually returned to normal.
In the following months, disaster victims from other islands came to Liuli Island to seek refuge from time to time.
Only a few of them survived, and the vast majority of people on their island died in the storm not long ago.
After learning that there was an immortal master in charge of Liuli Island, the victims all showed envy on their faces.
The Congyun Sea is vast and boundless, with countless islands of all sizes.
Only those islands with special resource outputs will have immortal masters in charge.
Li Fan has not been idle in these few months.
He persisted in practicing the "Xuanhuang Qingxin Mantra" every day, and finally he reaped the rewards.
Name: Li Fan
Realm: Mortal
Physiological age: 41/88↑
Mental age: 504/1119↑
The upper limits of both physical age and psychological age have increased again. Although the increase is not large, it still makes Li Fan excited.
Since then, Li Fan has practiced more diligently, and practiced the Heart Purifying Mantra every day except for eating.
Another month passed, and Li Fan finally received news from Manager Zhao.
The storm in Congyunhai has completely disappeared, and the fleet will be going out to sea again soon!
Three days later, at Liuli Island Pier.
The sea ship of Liuli Island is slightly larger than the second form of Taiyan Boat, and is as much as two to three hundred meters long.
More than a dozen large ships were lined up in a row and anchored on the sea, which looked quite spectacular.
Because of the storm, the fleet was stopped for a long time, and Liuli Island also owed a lot of supplies.
So the island owner ordered the entire fleet to set out.
This is a rare grand scene. You have to know that in the past, for safety reasons, only one or two fleets would go out to sea at the same time.
The dock was full of residents who came to watch the fun.
Occasionally, when we saw people we knew on the ship, they would wave to us enthusiastically.
Li Fan followed Manager Zhao's men and boarded a ship named "Cangyuan".
Many of the crew members, like Li Fan, were going out to sea for the first time. Their faces were filled with excitement, and their eyes were full of the hope of becoming rich overnight.
The old sailors were just the opposite.
Not only was there no excitement, but there was a look of worry on his face, and he could not stop complaining: "I don't know why the island owner is crazy and wants to conduct an assessment. The fleet with the least harvest this time will be deemed unqualified and will be disqualified from going out to sea in the future! What should I do!"
"Hey, don't mention it. It's all because of the storm. I heard from people that the Coral Island in the south was razed to the ground because the island protection formation was broken. And the supplies that Coral Island needed to hand over fell on our Liuli Island."
"What the hell is this? How are we going to live our lives from now on?"
"It is said that it is only temporary and that all you need to do is pay back what you owe."
Everyone sighed and groaned.
"Look at how pathetic you are! Why don't you think positively? Isn't there a reward for first place? The reward is increased from 30% to 50%!"
"Fifty percent! What a concept! If I can make a fortune, I won't have to go out to sea for the rest of my life!"
Just then, a bronze-skinned man came over and started cursing at the crew members.
"Boss, don't dream. We are the first place. You know our fishing skills. We have barely completed the fishing mission every time."
"Yes, in my opinion, this is our last time to go out to sea!"
"Why don't we just stay here? It's so nice to be a free and easy pirate!"
It was obvious that the crew members had a good relationship with the man. After hearing the scolding, they were not afraid, but started to make a fuss.
Hearing everyone's nonsense, the man was not in a hurry.
Instead, he put his hands on his hips, looking confident.
"What's up, boss? Do you have an idea?" The crew members knew the man very well, and asked one after another when they saw this.
The man said proudly: "Don't worry, there are capable people on board this time. I guarantee everyone will return with a full load."
After saying that, he pointed at Li Fan who was standing behind him.
"Just him?"
"Clean and white, have you ever been to sea?"
The crew members looked at it carefully and were immediately disappointed, shaking their heads in disbelief.
"You are a bunch of blind people who don't recognize our noble man! He is a talented person specially invited by Manager Zhao. He will take over our ship soon! You all should be polite!" The man shouted angrily, seeming very angry.
When people heard what the man said, there was an uproar on the Cangyuan.
The bronze-skinned man looked back at Li Fan and smiled with a hint of success.
