The helicopter pilot, who had already been instructed by Liu Qingfeng to take this flight very seriously, asked respectfully after the helicopter took off, "Mr. Xia, where would you like to start?"
Xia Ruofei said, "I don't have any specific purpose. You just fly two laps above Qingyun Island, then we'll fly a few laps around the island. I'm just going to take a look!"
"Understood!" After the pilot finished speaking, he lifted the helicopter's main torque lever and pushed the joystick forward at the same time. The helicopter began to accelerate forward.
Even if they went straight to the target, the pilot wouldn't be able to find any clues. However, Xia Ruofei didn't do that out of caution.
Before he really got hold of Qingyun Island, he wouldn't show any special interest. Otherwise, with Liu Kuan and Old Man Liu's experience, Family Liu might change his mind.
The helicopter first crossed over Qingyun Island. Because the island wasn't too big, this flight path could basically cover the entire island at a glance.
Xia Ruofei also pretended to be interested. From time to time, he pointed to the buildings on the ground and asked the pilot some questions.
Then, according to Xia Ruofei's request, the helicopter pilot flew the super Jaguar out of the range of Qingyun Island, then began to fly around the periphery of Qingyun Island.
Xia Ruofei's eyes showed a hint of anticipation, but he didn't show any abnormalities. He didn't even change his sitting posture. He was still leaning on the seat, his right hand resting on the side of the porthole, his fingers tapping rhythmically.
The helicopter slowly flew around Qingyun Island, gradually approaching the angle Xia Ruofei observed from the Haven in the morning. It was about a 60-degree angle with the extension of the airport's runway. Because there was a 3,000-meter runway as a reference, it was easy to judge.
The helicopter's position was getting closer and closer to the best vantage point. Xia Ruofei's attention also began to be highly focused. His eyes swept across the area, and the positions of Qingyun Island and the nearby islands quickly formed a three-dimensional map in his mind. He then combined the location and other information to conduct a comprehensive analysis.
Xia Ruofei's attainments in the art of formations had long surpassed that of an ignorant person. He had already digested and absorbed all the ancient books in the jade talisman of inheritance. Although he could barely be called a master of formations because of the lack of practice, his knowledge in the theory of formations was already quite rich.
The shape of Clear Cloud Island itself, its position, the surrounding islands, the reefs, and many other elements were undoubtedly in accordance with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. Xia Ruofei's intuition was very accurate on this point, and he had already confirmed it at a glance on the Haven.
Now that he was flying in the helicopter again, the altitude was lower and the details were more complete. This made Xia Ruofei more confident in his judgment.
Finally, the helicopter slowly flew past the best vantage point. At that moment, the three-dimensional map in Xia Ruofei's mind was completely formed, and it was almost completely compatible with one of the large formations he had mastered!
Even though Xia Ruofei was already mentally prepared, and his Qi cultivation was also very good, at this moment, he still couldn't help but open his mouth slightly, and his pupils shrank, revealing a look of shock.
However, the pilot was focused on operating the helicopter, and Xia Ruofei was still wearing the big headphones, and his face was turned to the right, so the helicopter pilot didn't notice it at all.
Xia Ruofei also quickly adjusted his emotions. Even when the helicopter flew past the best vantage point, his expression didn't change much.
But in fact, at this moment, his heart was surging with turbulent waves!
Although Xia Ruofei was still looking out of the cabin, if one observed carefully, one would find that his eyes were actually relatively empty. This was because at this moment, he was completely immersed in the three-dimensional map in his mind, and was constantly comparing it with a large formation recorded in the ancient books of formations.
The Great Void Mystic Clear Formation!
A comprehensive large formation that was listed as an important position in the ancient books of formations. With Xia Ruofei's current cultivation in formations, he was still far from being able to set up such a large formation. According to the description in the ancient books of formations, this large formation was generally set up in important places by sects with strong comprehensive strength. In history, it even became a sect-protecting formation of a sect.
Such a complex formation would take a lot of effort to be set up by humans, and now there was a naturally formed one. Was this just the work of nature? Xia Ruofei couldn't help but have a trace of doubt.
However, no matter how he looked at it, Qingyun Island and the surrounding islands were naturally formed, and there were no traces of artificial activity at all. Moreover, historically, the people who lived here were all local aborigines, mainly brown people. Could there be some cultivation masters among these people?
At least from Xia Ruofei's understanding of the cultivation world on Earth, the inheritance of formations was mainly from the Eastern cultivation world. The number of cultivators outside of Huaxia was relatively small, and there seemed to be no records of cultivation of formations.
Unless an Eastern cultivator found this place and set up the Great Void Mystical Clear Formation.
However, based on Xia Ruofei's current observation, he couldn't find any traces left behind by cultivators.
When he was visiting earlier, Xia Ruofei had released his mind power from time to time to explore the island. There were no abnormalities on the island. Of course, there were many traces of artificial activity, but they were all left behind by Family Liu later on. There were no traces left by cultivators.
Moreover, although Qingyun Island and the surrounding islands were basically in line with the layout of the Great Void Mystical Clear Formation, certain modifications still needed to be made in order for the large formation to work.
Most importantly, Family Liu built an airport on Qingyun Island, and the runway formed an important part of the large formation.
It could be said that if the runway wasn't built, even if Xia Ruofei saw everything from the same observation point, he might not be able to immediately sense the natural formation's layout. Of course, if Xia Ruofei stayed on the island for a little longer, he would still be able to find some clues.
After all, the main body of the natural formation was already formed. Any subsequent modifications would only be to modify the foundation of the natural formation's main body so that the large formation's function could be fully unleashed.
From this point of view, this large formation was very likely a masterpiece of nature.
Thinking of this, Xia Ruofei couldn't help but click his tongue in wonder.
The Great Void Mystical Clear Formation was a very powerful and comprehensive formation. Not only was its defensive function extremely strong, but it also had a certain offensive attribute. In addition, the formation also had the effect of accumulating Spirit Qi. After operating for a long time, as the core island of the formation, the concentration of Spirit Qi on Qingyun Island would gradually increase until it became like a paradise.
Most importantly, once the Great Void Mystical Clear Formation was formed, there was even a spot where a Teleportation Formation could be set up.
This was the legendary Space Formation.
Although setting up a Teleportation Formation required many conditions, including some special formation materials, it was still a little difficult for Xia Ruofei to set it up with his current conditions. However, the fact that there was a spot for a Teleportation Formation in the formation was already quite heaven-defying.
This was also an important reason why some sects in the ancient cultivation world used this formation as a sect-protecting formation. Its defensive function was extremely strong, it had offensive and spirit-gathering attributes, and it could even set up a Teleportation Formation. This almost fulfilled all the requirements of a sect's great formation.
When Xia Ruofei thought of this, he couldn't help but feel agitated.
At this time, the helicopter pilot asked, "Mr. Xia, we've already circled around once. What should we do next?"
Xia Ruofei said without batting an eyelid, "Adjust the course. We'll circle around in the opposite direction and then return!"
"Okay!"
The pilot responded, then controlled the helicopter to deftly change direction in the air and began to fly counterclockwise around Qingyun Island.
When they returned to the best observation point again, Xia Ruofei's expression was still very calm, without a trace of surprise. However, he still checked the position of all the islands again and was even more certain of the existence of this natural formation.
The helicopter slowly landed in the project department building. Liu Kuan, Liu Qingfeng, and the others braved the strong wind caused by the propellers and stood next to the helipad on the roof of the building to wait.
Although they kept a safe distance, the strong wind caused by the helicopter's propellers still blew the pitiful amount of hair on Liu Qingfeng's head into a mess. It looked quite comical.
Xia Ruofei got off the helicopter, and Liu Kuan and the others quickly walked up to him.
"Mr. Xia, what do you think after looking around?" Liu Kuan asked with a smile.
"Not bad! It's like a paradise, and the island's defensive measures are very complete, "Xia Ruofei said.
His tone was very objective and did not reveal any inclination.
Before leaving, Elder Liu had instructed Liu Kuan to sound out Xia Ruofei's intentions.
From the Family Liu's point of view, naturally, he didn't want Xia Ruofei to choose Qingyun Island plus cash. From Elder Liu's point of view, he would rather Xia Ruofei choose forty percent of the shares. Of course, in his mind, the first option was still the three billion US dollars option.
However, if Xia Ruofei chose Qingyun Island, Elder Liu would also accept it. After all, this was his own proposal. After weighing the pros and cons of these three proposals, he felt that they were within his acceptable range and at the same time, showed the greatest sincerity in his proposal.
Elder Liu knew very well that as long as Xia Ruofei chose one of the options, it meant that his life would be saved. Even if Xia Ruofei was very tight-lipped and insisted that he was not 100% confident in the treatment, Elder Liu's intuition told him that as long as he paid the right price, Xia Ruofei would definitely have a way to completely heal him.
In the eyes of Liu Qunfeng and the others, as long as Xia Ruofei did not choose forty percent of the shares, they could accept the other two options.
Liu Kuan followed Xia Ruofei on the plane for more than ten hours, and they had already visited Qingyun Island for two to three hours. However, Xia Ruofei did not show any inclination to accept or reject Qingyun Island's proposal, which made Liu Kuan feel that it was a bit tricky.
The group of people left the roof and took the elevator downstairs.
While in the elevator, Liu Kuan thought for a while and asked, "Mr. Xia, what's the plan next? We're all at your command. "
Xia Ruofei said casually, "Just stay on Qingyun Island for one night! I also want to walk around and let our crew rest. We'll set off early tomorrow morning, but I hope to stay in Australia for a day. Uncle Liu, is that okay with you? "
"No problem! No problem! " Liu Kuan said quickly. "Before we set off, the master told us to follow your instructions."
Xia Ruofei smiled and nodded. "Then let's do that! By the way, Mr. Liu, is there any problem with our accommodation on the island? "
Liu Qingfeng said quickly, "Of course there's no problem! Mr. Xia, we've already arranged everything, and your crew has also been properly settled. In addition, we've prepared some food and wine for lunch. Mr. Xia, please do come! "
"Then I'll do as you say!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile.
Liu Qingfeng personally sent Xia Ruofei and Liu Kuan to the pre-arranged room for a short rest, then he ran to the restaurant to follow up on the luncheon.
Xia Ruofei and the others also rested in the same building. In fact, the project department only used three floors. From the fourth floor onward, they were all apartment-style residences. Some of them were very luxuriously decorated to entertain distinguished guests, and they happened to be used today.
Xia Ruofei took a simple shower and sat in the room to rest for a while. Liu Qingfeng personally came to invite him to lunch.
During the meal, Liu Qingfeng and the others naturally tried their best to please him. Xia Ruofei, on the other hand, was always calm. He didn't appear to be very arrogant, but at the same time, he wasn't overly enthusiastic either. He maintained the right distance.
Liu Kuan, who had been secretly observing from the side, naturally couldn't see any clues.
After lunch, Xia Ruofei politely declined Liu Qingfeng's suggestion to arrange for someone to accompany him. After returning to his room and changing into casual clothes, he left the building alone with a sunhat and wandered around Qingyun Island.
After Liu Kuan heard Liu Qingfeng's report, he didn't disturb Xia Ruofei.
He also knew that Xia Ruofei definitely didn't want anyone to follow him at this time. If it were him, he would definitely review such a big deal repeatedly and weigh the pros and cons.
Therefore, in Liu Kuan's opinion, Xia Ruofei couldn't wait to visit Qingyun Island after lunch. This was normal behavior.
An area of five or six square kilometers didn't sound small, but in fact, the widest part of Qingyun Island was only about three kilometers. It was about two kilometers from north to south, so the entire area wasn't too big.
He strolled leisurely along the island's road. At the same time, he released his mental strength and quietly memorized the situation on the island.
After walking for a while, Xia Ruofei found a rock by the sea and sat down. Facing the vast sea, his thoughts gradually scattered.
Naturally, he was determined to obtain Clear Cloud Island. Therefore, he had already begun to consider how to develop and utilize Clear Cloud Island after obtaining it, and how to ensure the safety of the island.
