“It’s actually the Immortal Root?!”

The Luoyue Sect monks on the flying boat looked at each other in shock.

The current sect leader, Qiu Wenzhai, is the descendant of a certain ancestor from the upper realm before his ascension. He has a deep connection with the Luoyue Sect in the upper realm, so naturally, everyone in the Luoyue Sect trusts the judgment he makes.

Looking at the purple bamboo that stood like a pillar below, Sect Leader Qiu couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

"Those two juniors are really ignorant and blind. If they had worked harder, they wouldn't have mistaken this hundred-foot-long fairy bamboo for a mere fifth-level spiritual bamboo. They really messed up our Luoyue Sect's thousand-year plan!"

At this point, Sect Leader Qiu showed an expression of disappointment.

Qianshan hesitated and whispered, "Master, since they have already sacrificed for the sect, let them offset their merits and demerits!"

Sect Leader Qiu shook his head: "Merits are merits, faults are faults, how can they offset each other?"

After saying that, Sect Master Qiu said calmly: "Leng Yue."

A handsome middle-aged man in a moon-white robe suddenly walked out of the flying boat behind him.

"metropolitan."

"Tian Yuqing and Liu Qing'er are both your disciples. Their loyalty to the sect and their poor teaching are all your faults. You should be responsible for them!"

"Yes, Master!"

True Man Leng Yue respectfully accepted the order: "After this matter is over, Leng Yue will go to Yuejin Island and confine himself for ten years. After the ten years are over, he will go to the Tian family and the Liu family to select a child with spiritual roots to be his disciple, train him carefully, and guide him to the path of immortality."

"Can."

Sect Leader Qiu showed a satisfied look on his face.

Master Leng Yue bowed respectfully, then retreated into the crowd with a look of joy in his eyes.

He did this not only for his two unfortunate disciples, but also for himself.

After all, since I have taken responsibility for my disciples' mistakes, I must also take responsibility for their achievements.

The sect can bring great benefits by discovering such a fairy bamboo.

Compared with this, ten years of confinement and accepting two disciples are nothing.

In this way, the sect got the opportunity, Master Lengyue got the reward, and the two dead disciples had successors in their families and could rest in peace. It can be said that everyone was happy.

The only question is how to get the biggest share of this once-in-a-millennium opportunity.

Just as Sect Master Qiu was thinking about this, a stream of green light shot out from a distance and stopped in front of the flying boat.

The monks looked up and saw a handsome young man standing above the clouds, bowing to them gracefully.

"I am Nanhua Sword, the ancestor of the Nan Clan of Jinjiao Island. I sincerely invite the leader of the Luoyue Clan to come aboard for a chat."

When these words were heard, everyone from Luoyue Sect on the flying boat suddenly looked solemn.

The Nan Family of Jinjiao Island is one of the two major immortal cultivation families in the Starry Sea. There is an ascension formation in the family’s ancestral land, and it also has close ties with the upper realm. It can be said that it is a super force that can rival the three major sects in the Starry Sea.

The Luoyue Sect is only the last of the three major sects, and is still somewhat inferior to the Nan Family.

Sect Master Qiu thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, Master Nan, please go ahead for now. I will take care of some trivial matters of the sect and I will follow later."

Nanhua Sword saluted respectfully, then turned into a green light and flew towards the other flying boats around.

Sect Leader Qiu turned around, a white light flashed in his hand, and a token engraved with a crescent moon symbol appeared.

"Qianshan, I'll leave the affairs here to you. If there is anything, send a message to the upper realm immediately. Do you understand?"

"Understood, Sect Master."

Qianshan took the token respectfully, and then watched Sect Master Qiu transform into a white light and fly towards the flying boat that looked like a golden dragon in the distance.

At the same time, colorful lights kept passing through the sky around Zizhu Island, and everyone's target was the same, which was the flying boat representing the Nan family of Jinjiao Island.

It is obvious that the top leaders of the major forces in the Star Sea are preparing to negotiate and discuss the distribution of this treasure.

However, not every force is qualified to be the one cutting the cake. Those forces invited by the Nan family must have at least two or more Nascent Soul True Lords.

A family of immortal cultivators that only has one Nascent Soul ancestor is not qualified to board that flying boat.

Seeing that all the major superpowers began to reach a consensus, those sects or immortal cultivation families that were not strong enough immediately showed disappointment.

After hesitating for a while, many weak sects and forces began to disperse, but there were still some small sects and schools that were unwilling to give up, or independent cultivators who chose to stay, hoping to take advantage of the chaos caused by the birth of precious treasures to pick up bargains.

Unfortunately, these major forces have been entrenched in the Star Sea for a long time, and they are well aware of the nature of these people.

Therefore, before the discussion even began, each family spontaneously sent out monks to drive away the monks around who were unwilling to leave. If anyone dared to resist, they would be killed.

Everything was going according to the usual practice in the Star Sea.

On Purple Bamboo Island, Lin Zhongtian was concentrating on refining this ultimate evolved purple spiritual bamboo.

It's not that he doesn't know the situation around Zizhu Island, he's just too lazy to pay attention to this group of arrogant powers.

Moreover, after refining this new clone, he would have to choose a technique of his choice to practice.

After all, the knowledge passed down by the Heaven in my mind lacks the basics before becoming an immortal. If I want to practice, I have to rely on this group of enthusiastic and kind people.

Before long, all the irrelevant people around Zizhu Island had been cleared out.

The remaining forces include two major families and three major sects, totaling only eleven.

These eleven families have already reached a consensus on the matter of the purple spiritual bamboo. At this moment, they are all looking expectantly at the crystal purple bamboo that is a hundred feet high, patiently waiting for this never-before-seen fairy root to be born.

Little did they know that they had been regarded as a scripture repository by a certain terrifying being that could take whatever he wanted.

…

…

Eight hundred miles away, Qingli Island.

Two beams of light shot out from a distance and stopped above Qingli Island.

A team of patrolling monks flew over from the island. After verifying their identities, they activated the island protection formation and welcomed the two men in.

Qingli Island has a beautiful environment and is surrounded by mountains in the north. On the lush and majestic peaks, you can see exquisitely carved pavilions and palaces built of bluestone.

On the highest mountain, a huge waterfall falls from a height like a silver ribbon, falling into the blue lake below, stirring up a large cloud of water mist.

Countless green carps jumped out of the water and passed through the rainbow bridge formed by the reflection of the water mist, forming a breathtaking spectacle.

Such an island with beautiful environment and abundant spiritual energy is naturally not something that ordinary forces can possess.

The force occupying this place is the Zhou family, a well-known immortal cultivation family within a thousand miles.

The Zhou family’s ancestors came from the Beiqian Dynasty to the west of the Star Sea.

In those days, the ancestor of the Zhou family was young and energetic. He came to the Starry Sea on a merchant ship to make a living. Later, the Zhou family lost power. Out of caution, the head of the family at that time ordered the ancestor of the Zhou family to stay in the Starry Sea and develop on his own. Thus, the current Qingli Island Zhou family came into being.

After hundreds of years of development, the Zhou family of Qingli Island has grown stronger.

Just on the surface, they have one cultivator in the late Jindan stage and two cultivators in the early Jindan stage.

Although this strength is somewhat inferior to the upper ones in the Star Sea where major forces are entrenched, it is more than enough compared to the lower ones.

Otherwise, they would not have been able to survive in the Starry Sea, where the environment for cultivating immortals is so harsh, and occupy a blessed place like Qingli Island.

At this time, two beams of light coming from outside the island flew into the green hall on the highest mountain.

A young man in a green shirt, with a handsome face and extraordinary temperament, had been waiting there.

Seeing the escaping light transform into two men in the hall, the young man immediately went to greet them with a smile.

"Second Uncle, Third Uncle, seeing how excited you are, you must have gained a lot, right?"

“…”

The two monks, whom the young man called Second Uncle and Third Uncle, smiled at each other.

"Nephew Tianyi, it's just as you expected. The Li family of Coral Island has always been used to picking up bargains and likes to take shortcuts."

"Faced with the joint expulsion by the Luoyue Sect and the Fuhai Sect, the Li family ancestor actually refused to give up and wanted to secretly stay and pick up some leftovers. As expected, he was easily killed by the Luoyue Sect's Qianshan Zhenjun."

"When Ancestor Wen Yuan saw this scene, he immediately sent me a message. My third brother and I immediately took action and conquered the Coral Island."

As they spoke, they both waved their hands, and a mountain of storage bags suddenly appeared on the floor of the hall.

Seeing this scene, even though Zhou Tianyi had expected it, he couldn't help but look surprised.

"so much?!"

"yes!"

The cultivator called Second Uncle said with emotion: "Come to think of it, it is really thanks to the third-level formation-breaking talisman you brought out that the Coral Island Li family has quietly upgraded their island protection formation. If it weren't for your third-level formation-breaking talisman, it would probably take your Third Uncle and I twenty-four hours to break the formation."

"By that time, the disciples of Luoyue Sect will probably have arrived."

Having said that, a look of relief appeared on my second uncle's face.

Zhou Tianyi was originally checking the resources in his storage bag. When he heard this, he immediately raised his head and frowned:

"How is your identity hidden? Will it be discovered?"

"Don't worry!" Second Uncle said with a smile, "We are using the identities of two Jindan casual cultivators. Those two casual cultivators were somewhat famous in the Tianqing Market in the north a few years ago, but they later died in a secret place."

"I was the first person to enter the secret realm and find their bodies."

"I am the only one who knows about this matter. It has absolutely nothing to do with the Zhou family!"

After hearing his second uncle's words, Zhou Tianyi nodded.

"That's good."

As he spoke, Zhou Tianyi took out seven or eight items from the storage bags that were piled up like a mountain.

"I will take these refining materials and alchemy materials. When Ancestor Wen Yuan returns, you can pick out the ones you need and then add them to the family treasury..."

"no problem."

Second uncle and third uncle nodded.

Zhou Tianyi thought for a moment and said softly, "As for now, Second Uncle, Third Uncle, you should go outside the island to pick up Old Ancestor Wen Yuan. Although his secret technique of concealing his breath is indeed very powerful, I am still worried that he will be discovered."

"Remember, once you are discovered, you must not delay and escape immediately."

"Even if you encounter a great opportunity where a treasure falls from the sky, don't stop."

"Saving your life is the most important thing. As long as you have the green mountains, you won't be afraid of running out of firewood!"

Hearing Zhou Tianyi's earnest instructions, the second uncle and the third uncle looked at each other and nodded heavily.

"Okay, let's go now!"
