Chapter 134 Jiang Yansheng?
When the mutated fish landed on land, everyone still had some room to maneuver. The first mutated fish to arrive on the island weren't that powerful, but since no one knew the characteristics of these fish, they were somewhat hesitant.
Only the people from the four camps rushed to the front, along with the players, especially Ji Wei, Xie Cheng, A Tong, and Lazy Cat. The four of them could sweep through a group with a single move, and they led the robots to frantically dig out the stones inside the mutated fish.
This commotion was naturally noticed by everyone. Once they found out about the energy stone and learned that the energy stone and the stones inside the mutated fish would become currency and the energy source for body tempering and superpowers, they would understand.
Without anyone encouraging them, everyone rushed out. After physical training, everyone's physical fitness had greatly improved, and in the end, they started fighting over the mutated fish unless they were truly outmatched.
Some people jokingly called the stones dug out of the mutated fish "demon cores," and surprisingly, this gained widespread acceptance.
They believed that the world had changed drastically, and that people's superpowers were no different from cultivating immortality. They thought that what Lin Xia taught them was more like a body-tempering technique, so the mutated fish in the sea had evolved into demonic beasts, and what they had inside their bodies was a demon core.
The name spread, and the people sailing on the sea didn't encounter as many mutated fish. They also dug up very few demon cores. They were extremely envious when they heard about the islanders' harvest.
Once everyone started using demon cores to temper their bodies, they found that it did indeed speed up the tempering process, and demon cores and energy stones were quickly accepted as the new currency.
Because of this, the island became even more popular, and Lin Xia expanded the port time and time again, attracting more and more people to set up stalls and exchange goods.
It wasn't that no one wanted to attack the island, but the soldiers in the camp, along with Ji Wei and his three companions, were far superior in strength to everyone else. Those who came all returned empty-handed, and gradually, everyone started trading honestly.
The waters outside the island have also become a focus of contention. The closer to the island, the larger the gathering place, and the more people there are, using the island to shop, store goods, or simply stroll around.
The island is incredibly lively every day; if staying overnight weren't prohibited, many people would probably want to sleep right on the ground.
People flocked to the island to do business and search for people, and the shops on the island were quickly rented out.
Lin Xia reaped a large harvest of energy stones and demon cores. Due to the arrival of the mutated fishmen, people's pockets quickly became full, and they began to line up to rent houses.
Players reaped the greatest benefits, with many moving into the protective shield. Ordinary people also scrambled to rent houses outside the shield. Families that gathered together, with their large numbers, were able to rent a house inside the shield, which, although crowded, was safer.
However, the island's area is limited, and even if it were twice as big, it would still be too small.
Those who arrived late rented a house together and put on their own [basic protective shield].
The entire island quickly became lively. At first, people didn't know the effectiveness of the law. Many people thought that in the apocalypse, as long as they did it secretly, no one would find out.
Lin Xia specifically targeted a few individuals, killing or expelling them in front of everyone, and had Xie Cheng explain the existence of the 'Codex Spirits' and the island lord's absolute control over the island.
The opportunists quieted down; having finally found a place to stay, no one wanted to be driven away.
Many people who come to the island for the first time are amazed by the buildings. In a short period of time, the island has returned to order, with people going out to sea to fish for treasure chests during the day and returning to rest at night.
More and more people came and gathered outside the island, forming a true gathering place.
"Seventh Sister, I have something I want to tell you. Can I come to you?" Ji Wei suddenly sent a message.
Ji Wei was amazed as she entered. As soon as she stepped into the backyard, she saw Lin Xia look up from her book and stare at her, stunned.
Lin Xia had Lin Yi decorate the pavilion in the backyard, making it a perfect place for reading. She used it to exercise, read, and enjoy the scenery.
Whenever she has a moment of free time, she thinks of the last scene in the previous world. It was also after returning that she thought of many things.
The Venerable Jingling, Jingling Jingling, her Dharma name is probably closely related to her abilities; she can convert spiritual power into life force.
She took Jiang Yansheng, the chosen one, as her disciple. Jiang Yansheng burned his destiny, stripped away his merits and lifespan, and together with the other powerful individuals, offset the karmic consequences of that world.
Speaking of those powerful individuals, they have lived for hundreds or thousands of years, enjoying countless resources and supreme status, but what about Jiang Yansheng? He is still so young, yet he selflessly gave up everything.
She didn't know if it was his inherent kindness, the good education he received from the Pure Spirit Master, or something he saw in the 'Time Amber' that made him so resolute.
But judging by their actions rather than their intentions, they all burned their lives for that world. Was it worth it? Lin Xia didn't know what Venerable Jingling knew, but they were all so calm, facing life and death and suffering with equanimity.
All of this seemed like a net, weaving a net that was both clear and blurry in Lin Xia's heart. Lin Xia seemed to have guessed a lot, but she was not sure. However, at this moment, she felt as if she had taken a reassuring pill and was filled with hope for the future.
People like them always give people hope, making them feel as if they can see a bright future.
The Pure Spirit Venerable said she would meet Jiang Yansheng again, through reincarnation? Lin Xia didn't quite understand, but she gave herself guidance, saying that she would recognize him when she saw him.
Lin Xia thought she would see him again much later, or by chance in another world. She never imagined that he was right beside her, the first person to appear in her life.
Ji Wei walked over with a smile. Lin Xia was stunned when she looked up. The elusive spiritual light in her spiritual power suddenly burst out and rushed towards Ji Wei. After circling around her once, it entered her spiritual power.
Just as Ji Wei was about to speak, she froze. Her attributes had suddenly gained a new one—Blessing of Life: A blessing from a powerful being, granting you three life boosts and three resurrection attempts.
"Seventh Sister, why did you give me something so important?" Ji Wei was shocked.
Lin Xia didn't know what it was, but whatever it was, it was something Venerable Jingling had given to his disciple.
She shook her head, pretending not to know: "What are you talking about?"
Ji Wei frowned as he looked at Lin Xia's genuine expression: "No, Seventh Sister, you must know."
Lin Xia smiled and said, "Ji Wei, I really don't know what you're talking about. If you have received something, it wasn't given to you by me. Maybe it was given to you by an elder from one of your past lives."
Ji Wei pondered for a long time, then exclaimed in shock, "Could it be that you encountered one of my past lives?"
Lin Xia laughed. She was truly intelligent. Her good fortune was a blessing from that era.
He/She is very worthy.
