At the junction of the East China Sea and the Pacific Ocean, there was a mysterious island that had never appeared on any map of the world. The island was concealed by a supernatural power, preventing humans from spying on it. Even the most advanced equipment was unable to find any traces of the island's existence.
This was Venerable Spirit Butterfly's territory, Spirit Butterfly Island.
Countless large butterflies were flying above the island, which was a special feature of the island.
Among them, a butterfly the size of a washbasin descended from the sky and stopped in front of a girl on the island. On its back was … a newspaper.
Yes, it was a newspaper.
"You've worked hard." Jouko Hagi stretched out her hand and took the newspaper from the butterfly's back. She was sitting on a stone chair in the pavilion with her long hair tied into a bun.
It was a very ordinary newspaper, not much different from the ones on the market. However, the content was somewhat fantastical.
Today's headline: The sect master of the Southern Eternal Sword Sect, one of the four sects of the Sword School, had a conflict with his dao companion the day before yesterday, vowing to break off their relationship. But before the deadline, according to reliable sources, the sect master had been kneeling on the ground for an entire day, loudly saying 'I was wrong, please forgive me' ten thousand times.
The sect master of the Southern Eternal Sword Sect had always given people the impression of a fierce man. He was very masculine, and was very popular among female cultivators. His dao companion, on the other hand, gave people the impression that she was as gentle as water.
Therefore, as soon as this gossip came out, it became the headline without any suspense.
On the other pages, there was a reminder that a disciple of the Limitless Demon Sect, 'Mad Demon Tyrant', had appeared in a certain area in Eastern China, and that everyone should pay attention to their safety. The disciples of the Limitless Demon Sect were all unconventional and extreme. However, the 'Mad Demon Tyrant' was one of them. He was one of the few harmless disciples of the Demon Sect — of course, as long as no one provoked him. But here came the problem. For some unknown reason, this guy was born with a 'provoking' physique. Even if he was quietly eating mutton skewers on the roadside, he could still be provoked. If it was a masochistic physique, then it was fine. But this guy was an extreme disciple of the Limitless Demon Sect. Therefore, it wasn't the first time that a mutton skewer had caused a massacre...
In addition, there was also a recent report on a cultivator who made a fortune while gambling on raw spirit stones, becoming rich overnight.
There was also a certain great cultivator who crossed the vast ocean and went to the West to challenge the local Gods and obtain some kind of treasure. In recent years, the indigenous gods of the West were often beaten up for no apparent reason, and all of them were beaten senseless.
In addition, there was a special section for cultivators to publish the purchase, sale, and trade of some of the heavenly materials and earthly treasures they needed. As long as they felt that the price was suitable, or if they had a need for a certain treasure, they could contact the owner or use the newspaper as a middleman to carry out the transaction.
This was a special newspaper among cultivators. It was different from the newspapers of humans. The newspapers among cultivators were very casual and would report whatever they wanted. Gossip, intelligence, deals, danger alerts, everything.
"Eh? Is this the 'floating mysterious island' that people have been talking about recently? "Jouko Hagi saw a piece of news that made her heart beat faster.
It was reported that recently, a cultivator had discovered the legendary 'mysterious floating island' in the sky above the East China Sea. One could vaguely see the chirping of birds, the fragrance of flowers, and the abundance of Spiritual Qi. There were even many extinct creatures living on it.
Who knew which ancient senior had left this cave, or was it a special world within a world? Something like a fragment of the world?
This kind of place always had both dangers and opportunities. It was a popular place for exploration and adventure.
That cultivator only had time to take a few pictures. Just as he was about to enter the place to investigate, the mysterious island disappeared again.
"The East China Sea isn't far from here." Jouko Hagi was moved. Should she find another chance to sneak out to play?
Her slender legs were crossed, and her jade-like feet were slightly raised, swinging gently. Her female sandals revealed her sparkling and translucent toes. The sandals were the ones Song Shuhang had bought for her a few days ago.
"Jouko Hagi, what are you looking at?" A gentle and steady voice sounded. A handsome middle-aged man appeared behind Jouko Hagi. Very handsome, indescribably handsome, so handsome that he had no friends — — this was Spiritual Butterfly's Respected Sage, the owner of Spiritual Butterfly Island.
"I'm reading today's Daily Cultivator. Oh right, dad, I saw a very fun place. Since we have some free time these few days, dad, why don't you accompany me to play? "Jouko Hagi's eyes lit up. She held the newspaper and was full of expectation.
"You want to go out to play again?" Spiritual Butterfly's Respected Sage raised his eyebrows and revealed a loving smile. "But in these few days, you must first familiarize yourself with the 'contract formation' with Reiki. Only when you and Reiki have completed the contract will I bring you out for a stroll. This is an agreement you made with me voluntarily. You won't go back on your word, right? "
This time, after she left home without permission, her father Spiritual Butterfly's Respected Sage didn't scold her. He only made an agreement with her that she had to deal with the things she brought back. Then, before she completed the contract with Reiki, she had to obediently stay on Spiritual Butterfly Island.
"I'm not someone who goes back on my word. Once I say it, even a hundred horses, no, a thousand horses won't be able to chase after me!" Jouko Hagi said firmly, but immediately showed a bitter face. She never knew that signing a contract with Reiki would be such a troublesome matter. She had already failed several times.
"Then do your best." Spiritual Butterfly's Respected Sage's gaze fell on the sandals on his daughter's feet.
The style was a little old, and it looked like it was sold at a roadside stall.
He had never seen his daughter wear these shoes before. Did she buy them when she went out to catch Reiki?
Although they didn't look very good, it was his daughter's first time buying things for herself. He should at least give her some praise and encouragement, right?
Venerable was a good father.
Thinking up to this point, Spiritual Butterfly's Respected Sage acted like an expert, nodded and said, "When did Jouko Hagi buy these sandals? As expected of my daughter, her eyesight isn't bad! "
This loving father originally wanted to use more flowery words to praise his adorable daughter, but when faced with this pair of sandals sold at a roadside stall, forgive him for racking his brain, but he really couldn't think of any other words to praise her.
"Hehe, father also thinks that they look good." Jouko Hagi raised her little feet and giggled. She was in a good mood and said, "This is what Song Qianbei bought for me after we caught Reiki that day. The previous pair of shoes were broken when we were catching Reiki. Hehe, Song Qianbei is indeed very experienced and interesting. Even his eyesight when buying things is very good. Even the shoes he picked made father feel good. "
The smile on Spiritual Butterfly's Respected Sage's face stiffened. He felt that his heart was stifled, as if he had eaten shit.
Song Qianbei was one of the members of the group that his daughter mentioned helped her catch Reiki.
His daughter really cared about this Song Qianbei.
Most importantly, that Song Qianbei was a man!
His eldest disciple, Liu Jianyi, seemed to have some matters that he hadn't explained clearly. That lazy guy deserved a beating!
Speaking of that lazy guy, Spiritual Butterfly's Respected Sage's mouth twitched again. Because that guy was too lazy to breathe, he actually went to practice some Turtle Breathing Technique, and even advocated some bullsh * t thriftiness. Spiritual Butterfly's Respected Sage felt that he must have been blind back then to have chosen this guy as his successor.
Not good, thinking of that lazy guy, his heart felt even stifled!
If this goes on, should he consider preparing some 'quick-acting heart reliever pills' or something?
* * * * *
On the way back to school, Song Shuhang's mind was thinking about how to find an opportunity for actual combat. Perhaps he could find some hoodlums to practice once a day?
In addition, around four or five in the afternoon, he had to find time to start practicing the 《Vajra Foundation Building Fist Technique》.
With his current physique, it would take around 23 hours for his qi and blood to recover to a level where he could practice the fist technique.
In other words, at this stage, he only had one chance to practice the fist technique every day. If he wanted to complete foundation building within a hundred days, he had to seize every opportunity and not waste a single bit of time.
Of course, the recovery speed of qi and blood would increase as his strength increased. At the late stages of the 1st Stage, he could easily practice more than ten times a day.
Other than that, if he wanted to increase the recovery speed of his qi and blood, he could also take pills similar to the 'Qi and Blood Pill'. North River's Loose Practitioner had once introduced the Qi and Blood Pill to Shuhang. It was a medicinal pill that was concocted using extremely precious medicinal ingredients. It was different from the 'Body Tempering Liquid', but a genuine first rank medicinal pill.
After taking one, within half an hour, it could completely recover the qi and blood of a foundation building cultivator like Shuhang.
This kind of pill was not only useful for foundation building cultivators. First Stage cultivators who had opened their apertures also needed a large amount of Qi and Blood Pills to increase their qi and blood.
If only he could get that kind of Qi and Blood Pill, he would be able to build his foundation earlier. At that time, he would have a higher chance of winning against assassins, right? Right now, he desperately needed strength.
It felt like … he was a bit greedy.
As he walked, he unknowingly arrived at the chaotic alleys of Auspicious Street.
Today, he didn't see that short-haired girl who was pressed against the wall. Perhaps it was still early, and she hadn't woken up yet?
There weren't many people in the alleys.
