When Qin Di returned to Butterfly Island, he saw Tang Xingmin walking towards him.
After so many years, Tang Xingmin's cultivation had improved a lot. He had reached the peak of Foundation Establishment, and it wouldn't be long before he could try to form his Gold Core.
He was already more than three hundred years old. Originally, he thought that there was no hope in this life, but he didn't expect that after coming to Butterfly Island with Qin Di and taking the Prolonging Life Pill, he would be rejuvenated. Moreover, the resources here were also extremely rich. With all kinds of elixirs piled up, his cultivation was like a bubble, growing rapidly. So every night when he slept, he almost woke up laughing.
"Reporting to Grand Uncle-Master, someone brought another Fantasy Bird egg today."
"Oh? Where did you find this egg? "
"It was on Yellow Rock Island."
Qin Di had already received seven eggs from the Celestial Grade Pavilion and exchanged them for seven Grand Dao Pills. He also sold five or six in private, so he had accumulated more and more Grand Dao Pills.
Every time he got an egg, he asked Tang Xingmin to record the source.
Over time, it was possible to get the flight route map of the Fantasy Bird from these places.
He also looked up a lot of information, but the more he looked, the more mysterious he felt.
The Fantasy Bird was a very strange bird. It was said that it was a subspecies of the phoenix family. Its size was similar to Feng 'er when she was small, so the egg was very small, only the size of a broad bean.
Feng 'er said that she had seen Fantasy Birds before and talked to them.
Fantasy Birds seemed to be forbidden by some kind of Heavenly Dao, so they couldn't grow without limit like other birds. They stopped at the highest level, the ninth level, and couldn't go any further.
They also knew that their eggs were very precious. Not only did they have to guard against human sneak attacks, but they also had to guard against bird theft. Therefore, every time when it was time to lay eggs, they would aimlessly fly around and find a place with no people, such as the top of a mountain or a cliff, to secretly lay the eggs.
Even so, the number of offspring they could produce was less than one-tenth.
Therefore, according to Feng 'er, the days of Fantasy Birds were very hard.
Feng Er said that she was trying to figure out a way to lure a flock of Fantasy Birds to settle on Butterfly Island. However, she wanted Qin Di to promise that he couldn't refine all of the eggs into Grand Dao Pills.
Qin Di laughed as soon as he heard this. "Let's not talk about other things. When you come to my Butterfly Island, I will only keep 10% of the eggs at most. The remaining 90% will hatch! There was an ancient saying that draining the pond to catch the fish and burning the forest to hunt was not a long-term solution. Instead of being envious of the fish in the pond, it's better to form a net. "
But Feng 'er said, "Brother, not every egg can be hatched. The Fantasy Bird also has some fake eggs, which can also be used to concoct pills."
"Haha, that's even better! Feng 'er, you can fly along the islands I've drawn and find the Fantasy Bird. You can try to save them from their suffering. Don't forget that I'm an Alchemy Grandmaster. Maybe I can help them get rid of the restriction! "
"I know, big brother is a good person."
Thus, from then on, Feng 'er had another important task. That was to find the whereabouts of the Fantasy Birds when she went out to play.
Along with the continuous release of Grand Dao Pills and Immortal Grade Defensive Array Discs, along with the Void Step Pill and Establishing Nascent Pill, the status of Butterfly Island's Half Immortal Corner became higher and higher. It attracted the attention of many high level cultivators in Yunmeng Great Swamp.
More and more people rushed to the Half Immortal Corner, causing the public area to become crowded.
Because of this, Qin Di once again used a great method to rush over two small islands from the surroundings and combined them with the Half Immortal Corner, doubling the area of the public area.
He also pulled out many spirit veins from the broken Heavenly Grotto-Heaven and arranged them in the Half Immortal Corner.
Although these spirit veins were eroded by the Dead Sea's fog and only a trace of the tail was left, they were still the root bones of large spirit veins. They could absorb the spiritual energy from the surrounding Yunmeng Great Swamp and recover into large spirit veins after a long time.
After Qin Di understood this, he generously guided the spirit veins and buried countless damaged spirit veins in the Half Immortal Corner. After these spirit veins recovered, the spiritual energy was too rich, so he let the little peach tree secretly extract a portion of it.
At the same time, he opened up more cultivation caves in the Half Immortal Corner and rented them out to rogue cultivators and cultivators from other sects.
As for the management of this piece of land, Miao Yunjuan volunteered to take over a part of it. The remaining part was managed by Tang Xingmin and his two sons.
Sometimes, when True Lord Guo wasn't cultivating, he would come to the Half Immortal Corner for a stroll and give some advice.
Although Qin Di didn't want to care too much, he still issued a mission in the Golden Pill Sect and invited some low level disciples to maintain the order in the Half Immortal Corner.
Even though it was a sect mission, it required payment. Fortunately, this payment was insignificant to him. Because all the cultivation caves in the Half Immortal Corner belonged to him and all the shops had to pay rent to him, the Immortal Grade Pavilion's income was also considerable. With so much income, it was only right for him to take out some of it to pay the invited disciples.
Time flew by and in the blink of an eye, more than 20 years had passed.
Qin Di improved rapidly from the peak of Nascent Soul Stage 7 to the early stage of Nascent Soul Stage 9.
Miao Yunjuan and Zhuang Yunqing had both entered the second level of Nascent Soul Stage.
After Lan Xingchang used the Time Altar, her cultivation improved rapidly and she had already broken her core to give birth to her nascent soul.
Wu Mei 'er and Shen Yunyi were both at the Golden Core Great Circle. Jiang Yunmu and Fan Yao were at the Golden Core Stage 8, Long Jin 'er was at the Golden Core Stage 6 and even the youngest disciple, Bai Dong' er, was at the Foundation Establishment Stage 7.
At this time, the Cloud Prayer Dharma Assembly was about to arrive. All the Dao Masters in the entire Dreamy Cloud Swamp were in an uproar to fight for the limited quota.
After many years of negotiations between the major sects, the Dragon King and Zhu Rong Jiu finally made the final decision. Every early-stage Void Step cultivator could bring along one person, mid-stage Void Step cultivators could bring along two, late-stage Void Step cultivators could bring along three, peak-stage Void Step cultivators could bring along four, Dao Reunion Perfected Lords could bring along ten, and Earthly Immortal Ancestors could bring along twenty. Apart from that, only 100 spots were left for rogue cultivators and they needed intense competition to stand out.
This arrangement had already left enough space. Because the number of people who could reach the Cloud Prayer Island in the end was not fixed. Some Dao Integration Perfected Lords and Earthly Immortal Ancestors might delay until the last moment and rush over. One more expert meant one more prayer force, so there was no reason to refuse them.
After the plan was finalized, the various sects were in an uproar. Because the Golden Core Sect only had one Dao Integration Ancestor and four Void Step cultivators, they could only bring a total of 17 or 18 people. These Earthly Immortal Ancestors had their beloved disciples and family members, so the quota was very limited.
Ancestor Zhang Xuyun sent a voice transmission to Qin Di, saying that he could leave two spots for him.
Qin Di politely declined and expressed his deep gratitude.
Jiang Yunmu sent a voice transmission back, saying that the Godly Arrow Sect had left a spot for him and that Brother Qin didn't need to worry about him.
Zhuang Yunqing came over and asked if she should go to the Heavenly Sword Sect to find a way. If she gave a generous gift to the Second Elder, Perfected Lord Bai Jian, she might be able to leave a spot for him.
Qin Di shook his head. "Senior Sister Zhuang, there's no need to trouble yourself. I've already made arrangements. Not only can you go to the Cloud Prayer Island, but even the third generation disciples, Feng Er, and Zi will have a chance to go to the island. "
"That's a lot of people!"
"There's no more than 20 people. It's easy to arrange."
Zhuang Yunqing blinked and thought of the masked Dao Integration Perfected Lord who often appeared on the island, so he didn't ask further.
In order to compete for the chance to go to the island, the sects displayed their abilities and fought against each other. Although there were disputes, it was still within a controllable range.
The most tragic was the quota for the 100 itinerant cultivators. The competition was extremely fierce.
Qin Di was bored, so he brought everyone to watch the competition.
The competition was arranged on the island occupied by Tianbao Hall, which was also the place where the auction was held, Treasure Island. This location was equivalent to the core of the Dreamy Cloud Swamp, and it was very convenient to travel north and south. Moreover, it was densely populated, so it was impossible to cheat under the watchful eyes of so many people.
There were humans and Goblin cultivators participating in the competition, but all of them were Nascent Soul cultivators. This was because Void Step cultivators were automatically qualified to go to the island, and Golden Core Perfected Masters didn't dare to participate because they didn't have enough power.
The competition was simple. There were a total of 100 arenas, and each arena was a small barrier. It looked small from the outside, but inside, it was thousands of feet wide, enough for Nascent Soul cultivators to fight.
The competition began in the 100 arenas at the same time. As long as someone could get ten consecutive victories, they could retire and rest. This was equivalent to a qualifying competition. A month later, all the cultivators with ten consecutive victories would compete again, and finally, the 100 true experts would be selected.
Although it was said to be a competition for itinerant cultivators, most of the people who came were from various sects. Because they couldn't get the chance to go to the island in their own sects, they could only come here to try their luck.
These Nascent Soul cultivators who participated in the competition all had their own trump cards. After watching for two days, Qin Di felt that even if he went to the arena, he might not be able to kill his way out if he didn't use his Supreme Spiritual Treasure and Immortal Talisman, not to mention the disciples who followed him.
Shen Yunyi, Fan Yao, and Long Jin 'er could be considered to have experienced some killing scenes, so they watched with relish.
It was Bai Dong 'er's first time seeing such a bloody scene of life and death, and she almost didn't dare to watch.
The few disciples also rarely saw such a scene. Therefore, their faces were pale, and they were almost stunned.
Qin Di carefully selected some matches, and while watching, he explained to the disciples and summarized the experience and lessons.
"The two people on the left arena have released their Nascent Soul Dharma Images. One is a Yinglong, and the other is a Black Tiger. Looking at their sizes, the Yinglong is much larger, which means that his cultivation is higher. However, he is holding a first-stage spirit treasure, while the other person has a second-stage spirit treasure, so it's hard to say who will win in the end. "
"Guess, who will win in the end? If you guess correctly, you'll get a prize! But you have to say the specific reason. "
Long Jin 'er smiled and said, "Master, what prizes are there?"
"500 grams of Essence Crystals!"
A third-generation disciple called Xie Yunmi, who was Shen Yunyi's disciple, rushed to say, "500 grams of Essence Crystals is equivalent to 100 supreme-grade spirit stones! Grandmaster, I want to guess too! I think the cultivator with the Black Tiger Dharma Image will win. Look, he already has the upper hand, because he is good at using the spirit treasures and artifacts in his hands. "
Su Yuntang had already reached Foundation Establishment Great Perfection, and he said with a smile, "I think the Yinglong Dharma Image will win. Although he is temporarily at a disadvantage, his defense is tight, and his advance and retreat are orderly. He is not panicking at all, and he is preparing to counterattack. On the contrary, the Black Tiger Dharma Image is too impatient. "
The disciples all talked at once, and there was a lot of discussion.
Miao Yunjuan and Wu Mei 'er also joined in, and they made predictions about the fight between the two.
Zhuang Yunqing only watched quietly, and his eyes were shining, as if he had joined in the fierce fight.
In the end, the cultivator with the Yinglong Dharma Image defeated his opponent by relying on his superior cultivation.
Someone in the arena announced loudly, "Su Shou of Spirit Gathering Temple wins the first round!"
The audience did not care, because it was just one of the hundreds of arenas, and there was nothing special about it.
A disciple smiled and asked, "Uncle-Master, I guessed correctly. When will the Spirit Crystals be distributed?"
Qin Di answered, "When we get back, we will distribute them together!"
He turned around and was prepared to watch the other match, but when he turned his head, he saw that Su Yuntang's face was pale, and his expression was not right. His body was trembling slightly.
Thus, he hurriedly asked, "Little Su, what's wrong?"
Su Yuntang's lips trembled slightly, and he calmed himself down, saying, "Grandmaster, did I hear wrongly? That person is from Spirit Gathering Temple, and his surname is Su? "
"What's wrong with Spirit Gathering Temple?"
Su Yuntang bit his lips and said in a low voice, "When my mother passed away, she left me a white jade pillow with the words' Su Zhe of Spirit Gathering Temple 'written on it."
Hearing this, Qin Di stopped in his tracks and turned to look at the Nascent Soul Realm cultivator with the Yinglong Dharma Image. He saw that the cultivator was thin and tall, and his face was thin. There were some similarities between his eyebrows and Su Yuntang's, and he knew that something was amiss.
Fan Yao heard Su Yuntang's words and turned to look at Qin Di, saying, "Master, why don't I invite Perfected Lord Su over and ask him?"
At this time, Su Shou had already walked down from the arena. It seemed that he had used up a lot of energy in this match, so he needed to rest for two to four hours before participating in the next match.
Qin Di walked over and saw that Su Shou was getting further and further away from the arena, as if he was looking for a place to rest. He hurriedly called out from behind, "Mister Su, please wait."
Su Shou turned around and looked at him expressionlessly, his expression filled with doubt.
Qin Di walked in front of Su Shou and used his divine sense to ask, "Mister Su, do you know Su Zhe?"
Su Shou's body trembled when he heard this, and his pupils shrank. He stared at Qin Di and said, "Su Zhe is my youngest son. Why? Were you his good friend when he was alive? "
Qin Di frowned when he heard this, "Why? Has Su Zhe passed away? "
Su Yuntang's face turned pale when she heard this from behind, and tears welled up in her eyes.
Su Shou sighed, "His Soul Lamp has been extinguished for many years."
Qin Di felt sad for Su Yuntang, and beckoned her over, saying, "This is my grand-disciple, her name is Su Yuntang. When her mother passed away, she left behind a jade pillow with the words' Su Zhe of the Gathering Spirit Temple 'written on it. "
Su Shou was agitated when he heard this, and his eyes became misty. He looked at Su Yuntang from head to toe, and said, "Child, roll up your sleeves. Let me see if you have the mark of the Su family on your wrist. "
Su Yuntang suppressed her grief and revealed her left wrist. There was a green moss-like birthmark on the inside.
Su Shou's eyes widened, and he took a deep breath when he saw the birthmark. His expression became amiable, "That's right, child. You are a descendant of the Su family, and my granddaughter. Look at your grandfather's wrist, there is a similar mark. " As he said this, he stretched out his wrist. A hand as thick as old tree bark was compared to a fair arm, and there was indeed a mark on both of them.
Su Yuntang was sad and happy at the same time, but at the same time, she was confused, "Are you really my grandfather? My father is Su Zhe? "
Su Shou sighed, "Child, have you not even seen your biological father?"
"I have lived with my mother since I was young, so I have never seen my father."
"Where do you live?"
"Qinhuai City."
Su Shou frowned slightly, he did not know where Qinhuai City was.
He wanted to ask more questions, but Qin Di said, "It's too noisy here, let's find a quiet place and have a good chat."
Su Shou agreed, and looked around. "There is a teahouse opened by Tianbao Hall over there, let's go and have a seat."
