There was an immortal's cave on Morning Clouds Island. This immortal's cave should belong to the previous owner of Morning Clouds Island.
Although Jin Guangyao had an Immortal Array Breaking Artifact, which allowed him to enter Morning Dawn Island and take it for himself, he was not an Immortal Cultivator. He could not break the seal on the door of the Immortal's Cave, which required Immortal Energy.
In other words, there was still an unopened immortal's cave on Morning Clouds Island waiting for Gu Zheng. This was the first thing that made him happy.
Jin Guangyao had obtained Morning Clouds Island fifty years ago, and Morning Clouds Island wasn't an empty island. There were islanders on it, and there were more than four thousand of them.
Before Jin Guangyao landed on Morning Clouds Island, the four thousand islanders lived in a closed environment and lived a very simple life. They farmed and fished.
There was also a small sect on the island. This sect had a very similar history to the Heaven's Will Sect. They also brought out some things left behind by the immortals on the island from the ruins on the island and embarked on the path of cultivation.
However, this sect on Morning Clouds Island was very small and the highest cultivation level was only in the late third stage. It had already been destroyed by Jin Guangyao when he landed on Morning Clouds Island.
In order to open the immortal's cave on Morning Clouds Island as soon as possible, Jin Guangyao cultivated a demonic art that could speed up his cultivation progress. Cultivating this demonic art required the use of formations to absorb the essence and blood of others. It was even necessary to eat a person every once in a while.
It was also because he needed to cultivate demonic arts that Jin Guangyao left behind more than four thousand islanders for him to exploit after destroying the sects on Morning Dawn Island.
Jin Guangyao's four thousand islanders were the second thing that interested Gu Zheng. These islanders were simple in nature and lived in a very closed environment. They didn't have any contact with the outside world because they didn't know how to pass through the island's protective formation.
Jin Guangyao's exploitation made them live in an abyss of suffering. If someone saved them at this time, they would definitely be grateful to the person who saved them.
To Gu Zheng, these four-thousand islanders raised by Jin Guangyao might be able to contribute some pure faith power to him.
The next day, Gu Zheng set off for Morning Clouds Island. At the same time, he asked the people of Foggy Wind Island to send a ship to a suitable place to pick up the islanders. After all, there were more than four thousand islanders. Gu Zheng couldn't fly them back to Foggy Wind Island.
Gu Zheng set off at night. The next morning, he had already flown to the island's immortal protection formation of Morning Dawn Island.
With Jin Guangyao's memories, Gu Zheng didn't have much trouble passing through the protective formation.
From Jin Guangyao's memories, Gu Zheng knew that Morning Clouds Island was bigger than Foggy Wind Island. Its area was almost the same as Blood Tide Island. It was also rich in resources.
After Gu Zheng entered the sea area of Morning Clouds Island, he saw several fishing boats fishing in the sea.
Jin Guangyao treated the islanders as' sheep 'and raised them to drink blood and eat meat. However, he didn't restrict the freedom of the' sheep '. After all, the' sheep 'also needed to live.
Seeing a stranger fly into Morning Clouds Island, the islanders who were fishing on the sea all opened their eyes wide in shock. They were either frightened or curious as they discussed Gu Zheng's identity.
Gu Zheng flew near the fishing ships. He reached out and swept these people up. He continued to fly towards the island, leaving behind a trail of screams.
After flying to the island, Gu Zheng rang a large bell on the island. This bell was used by Jin Guangyao to gather the 'sheep'.
Hearing the sound of the bell, everyone hurriedly ran to the village square. Many of them just got up from their sleep and were still disheveled. In their minds, the sound of the bell was an alarm. If they ran too slowly, they would be beaten up by Jin Guangyao.
Seeing that the person who rang the bell wasn't Jin Guangyao but a young man standing in the air, the islanders whispered to each other.
"Silence!"
Gu Zheng spoke. Although his voice wasn't loud, it clearly entered everyone's ears. They were so frightened that they immediately quieted down.
"Your previous master, Jin Guangyao, has been killed by me for all his evil deeds. You don't have to worry anymore. Someone will use a formation to absorb your essence, Qi, and spirit, someone will bleed you, or someone will mysteriously disappear."
After Gu Zheng finished speaking, he threw Jin Guangyao's head down.
When everyone saw that the demon who had tortured them was really dead, they just looked at each other and didn't dare to make a sound. After a while, when they saw that Gu Zheng didn't say anything, some people started crying, some started cursing, and some started cheering. There were all kinds of expressions on their faces.
After letting the islanders vent their emotions for a while, Gu Zheng spoke again. "I killed your original master, but I'm also your new master! As for whether you recognize me as your master or not, that's completely your freedom. I won't force you. "
If it was a person in the real world, freedom and dignity were very important. However, to the islanders of Morning Cloud Island, freedom and dignity might be important, but it really couldn't be compared to the people in the real world.
What was freedom?
The islanders who had never left Morning Cloud Island knew that freedom was limited to living unfettered on Morning Cloud Island.
What was dignity?
After being ruled by Jin Guangyao for more than twenty years, their so-called dignity had long been worn away. Now, Gu Zheng, a person who could stand in the sky, spoke to them in a calm tone. To them, this was already very dignified.
What was a master?
Unlike the people in the real world who would reject the word master, the islanders of Morning Cloud Island didn't have much of a reaction to this word. Among them, since birth, they had been worshiped by the original sect on the island as their master. Later on, the master changed to Jin Guangyao. Now, even if the master changed again, it was a very normal thing for them.
"I'll give you time to consider this matter. When I leave Morning Cloud Island, those who are willing to follow me, I'll take you to another island. You'll live with my islanders and live a peaceful and peaceful life. Those who aren't willing to come with me, you can stay on Morning Cloud Island. "
"We're willing!"
"Immortal, take us away!"
"We don't want to live here!"
Just as Gu Zheng finished speaking, most of the islanders shouted.
Although the islanders lived in a place isolated from the rest of the world, they had seen cultivators before. From the cultivators, they knew that those who could fly were immortals.
However, simple contact was enough to make most people follow Gu Zheng. His identity as an Immortal was not the main reason, but the main reason was that Morning Clouds Island was not safe.
Jin Guangyao and his three fellow disciples would also come to Morning Cloud Island regularly to extract the islanders' essence, qi, spirit, and blood. If they still chose to stay on Morning Cloud Island, who knew who would be the next to go missing?
"Alright, since most of you are willing to come with me, then pack up a little. I'll leave for a while."
After Gu Zheng finished speaking, he flew in the direction of the cave residence.
Seeing Gu Zheng fly away, most of the islanders' eyes were filled with excitement. Having a powerful and amiable master might not be a bad thing.
As for whether or not they would be deceived into a darker place, the islanders didn't even consider it because immortals didn't need to deceive them.
Halfway up the tallest mountain on Morning Cloud Island, there was a protruding rock. This was the entrance to the cave residence.
Landing on the protruding rock, Gu Zheng looked down at the sea and felt the different immortal essence. He couldn't help but smile.
This was a rare and spiritual place. Whether it was Foggy Wind Island, Blood Tide Island, or Gu Zheng's Purple Yan Island, none of them had such a spiritual place suitable for building a cave residence.
After all, spiritual places could wither. Places that weren't originally spiritual places could also become spiritual places. Foggy Wind Island, Blood Tide Island, and Purple Yan Island definitely had spiritual places in the past. However, those spiritual places had withered later on. This spiritual place on Morning Cloud Island was still full of spiritual qi and could condense immortal essence in the air.
"Such a spiritual place is very suitable for building an Essence Gathering Array!" the Artifact Spirit said.
"Unfortunately, I can't build an Essence Gathering Array like the one in Heavenly Snail Cave. The Essence Gathering Array I can arrange is only the simpler kind. Even if I arrange it here, it won't be of much use. It won't be able to condense too much immortal essence. "Gu Zheng sighed.
"Others have become picky after eating the food you cook. After experiencing the Heavenly Snail Cave's treasure, you've also been spoiled by the Essence Gathering Array there. Although the Essence Gathering Array you can arrange now can't condense too much immortal essence, if you build a low-level Essence Gathering Array and condense immortal essence for more than half a year, you can still make do with a middle-grade food cultivator, "the Artifact Spirit said.
"Just as you said, I've really been spoiled!"
Gu Zheng laughed and then said, "However, after exploring this cave residence, I must set up an Essence Gathering Array! With such a spiritual place, it would be a waste if I didn't set up an Essence Gathering Array. "
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Zheng began to crack the restriction on the door of the cave residence. This time, he didn't ask the Artifact Spirit how to crack it, because the restriction on the door was the same as the restriction on the door of the Heavenly Snail Cave's treasure. He was already familiar with it.
The cave residence was the same as the cave residences he had experienced before. It was also a long passage with side rooms for various purposes on both sides.
Under normal circumstances, when discovering a sealed cave residence, if there were any gains, it would usually be in the cultivation room, where there might be something like a treasure chest left by the cave residence's owner.
However, in the cultivation room, Gu Zheng didn't find anything valuable. Before the owner left, he cleaned up the place very well.
Although he didn't find the treasure chest he expected in the cultivation room, in a side room, Gu Zheng had a very good gain.
In the cave residences he had experienced before, Gu Zheng had also seen the Spiritual Herb Room, but there wasn't much in it except for soil.
However, in the Spiritual Herb Room he discovered this time, there were actually six Spiritual Herbs growing in it!
The six Spiritual Herbs were all Ganoderma, and there were a total of six colors: Green Ganoderma, Red Ganoderma, Yellow Ganoderma, White Ganoderma, Black Ganoderma, and Purple Ganoderma.
The quality of the six Lingzhi mushrooms wasn't high. They were considered to be relatively common goods in the Lingzhi family. Under normal circumstances, the quality of the ingredients was ordinary.
However, the six Lingzhi mushrooms in the Spiritual Herb Room had been growing for thousands of years. This allowed them to grow from ordinary ingredients to excellent ingredients today.
The six Lingzhi mushrooms were able to grow from the Prosperous Era to the present thanks to a Spirit Gathering Array in the Spiritual Herb Room.
The standard of the Spirit Gathering Array was intermediate. It was precisely because it slowly released the Immortal Core Power that the Lingzhi mushrooms needed to improve their quality that they could survive the Age of Chaos and live well until now.
Moreover, because it had supported the six Lingzhi mushrooms to live until now, there was Immortal Core Power in the air again. The Immortal Core Power that was originally about to dry up was almost equivalent to a full low-level Spirit Gathering Array.
"Although I didn't get anything like a treasure chest, I got six excellent resources. This is really not bad." Gu Zheng laughed.
"Be careful when you harvest the Lingzhi mushrooms. These six Lingzhi mushrooms are still alive, and their quality has reached excellent. They meet the requirements to be transplanted into the Chaotic Space. You can transplant them into the Chaotic Space and continue to grow. I estimate that when you use them, the medicinal effect will be enhanced. "
Gu Zheng, who was about to harvest the Lingzhi mushrooms, immediately became cautious when he heard the Spiritual Herb Room's words.
"I originally wanted to set up a low-level Spirit Gathering Array here, but now it seems that there is no need. There is already an intermediate Spirit Gathering Array here."
Gu Zheng licked his lips and took out some ingredients from the Chaotic Space.
Since there was still Immortal Core Power in the intermediate Spirit Gathering Array, it would be a waste if he didn't use it. Gu Zheng prepared to make a high-grade Elemental Increasing Food Cultivation to absorb the Immortal Core Power.
The grade of Elemental Increasing Food Cultivation was naturally lower than Immortal Fruit Food Cultivation and Elemental Elixir Food Cultivation. The reason why Gu Zheng chose to make a high-grade Elemental Increasing Food Cultivation and not a middle-grade Elemental Elixir Food Cultivation was because according to the calculation of the amount of Immortal Core Power in the Elemental Gathering Array, a high-grade Elemental Increasing Food Cultivation would be more effective than a middle-grade Elemental Elixir Food Cultivation.
With six middle-grade ingredients and five normal-grade ingredients, Gu Zheng quickly made a high-grade Elemental Increasing Food Cultivation.
After opening the Elemental Gathering Array, Gu Zheng immediately ate the Elemental Increasing Food Cultivation and enjoyed the feeling of his pores opening and absorbing Immortal Core Power crazily.
After about fifteen minutes, the Elemental Increasing Food Cultivation's effect ended, and the Immortal Core Power released by the Elemental Gathering Array was also completely absorbed by Gu Zheng.
Due to the concentration of Immortal Core Power, it could not be compared to the Elemental Gathering Array in the Heavenly Snail Grotto treasure. Also, due to the different types of Elemental Increasing Food Cultivation, Gu Zheng naturally could not absorb the Immortal Core Power like he did in the Heavenly Snail Grotto, where one second was equivalent to several months of cultivation in the Flourishing Magic Era.
"It's really not easy to advance in cultivation now. Although the Immortal Core Power in this Elemental Gathering Array cannot be compared to the Elemental Gathering Array in the Heavenly Snail Grotto treasure, no matter what, it is almost equivalent to a full low-grade Elemental Gathering Array. However, my fourth level of 70% Gokusen Technique has only progressed by about one-twentieth, "Gu Zheng lamented.
Gu Zheng's current Gokusen Technique was not at the fourth level of 70%. It was only one-twentieth full! What he meant was that a high-grade Elemental Increasing Food Cultivation and a low-grade Elemental Gathering Array had only filled one-twentieth of the fourth level of 70% of his Gokusen Technique. And the real situation of his Gokusen Technique was that the fourth level of 70% was already one-third full!
After all, the last Elemental Gathering Array in the Heavenly Snail Grotto treasure had allowed Gu Zheng's Gokusen Technique to reach the fourth level of 70%. There was still a lot of surplus Immortal Core Power that had been absorbed! Just the surplus Immortal Core Power had already allowed his Gokusen Technique to reach one-third of the fourth level of 70%. And the harvest just now was just enough to fill up the remaining one-third.
"You should be content. This kind of cultivation progress is already very fast!" The Device Spirit rolled its eyes.
Gu Zheng shook his head and said, "Is it really that fast? Don't forget, there is still a big battle on Blood Tide Island during this year's Hungry Ghost Festival! "
"How could I forget? No matter what your cultivation is at that time, your cultivation progress is very fast. This is a fact. "
The Device Spirit stuck its tongue out at Gu Zheng. It looked like it was going to do whatever it said.
Gu Zhengben wanted to bicker with the artifact spirit again, but he suddenly frowned because he heard the bell on Morning Dawn Island ringing again.
The bell on Morning Clouds Island would not ring for no reason. Generally, when the bell rang, it meant that Jin Guangyao or his martial brothers wanted to cultivate Devil Arts and needed to gather the islanders to extract their essence, qi and spirit.
"It can't be that coincidental, right? Jin Guangyao's martial brothers came to Morning Clouds Island at this time? "Gu Zheng said.
"What's impossible about this? In any case, I don't believe that the islanders have nothing better to do than ring the bell for fun! "The Device Spirit laughed and said.
When Gu Zheng flew out of the cave, he was also laughing. If the person who rang the bell was really Jin Guangyao's martial brothers, then this could be considered a great thing.
Gu Zheng already saw the person who rang the bell. It was the 'second martial brother' that he saw in Jin Guangyao's memory.
Gu Zheng did not fly down from the sky in a hurry. He wanted to let Jin Guangyao's second martial brother perform for a while. The more he performed, the more important the rescue would be! His appearance would not only strengthen the islanders' determination to leave, but also let Gu Zheng establish his prestige among the islanders.
"Didn't you hear the bell ring? All of you are dawdling. Do you want to die? "
The fat Second Senior Brother cursed as he waved the whip in his hand that was ten feet long. Amidst the crackling sounds, the islanders who were walking slowly immediately let out a series of blood-curdling screams.
Finally, all the islanders gathered in the square. The second martial brother smiled with satisfaction and pointed at the crowd.
"You, you, you, you, you …"
The second martial brother's finger pointed at a hundred people with the best essence, qi and spirit. These people also followed his finger in fear and stood in a relatively empty space.
Second Senior Fellow Apprentice walked around the crowd and stopped beside a good-looking girl.
"Hehe."
The second martial brother laughed lewdly and stretched out his hand to pinch the girl's buttocks.
"If you sleep with me today, I'll exempt you from the tribute."
The tribute mentioned by the second martial brother was the extraction of essence, qi and spirit and the bleeding of blood.
The girl was already scared. After hearing what the second martial brother said, she became even more scared and immediately screamed in fear.
"Why are you screaming? It's not like I haven't slept with you before! "
The second martial brother seemed to be very satisfied with the girl's scream and laughed even more happily.
"No, no!"
The girl struggled to get rid of the second martial brother's evil claws. However, she could not break free at all. Anxious and scared, she cried loudly.
Suddenly, a young man in the crowd picked up a stone and threw it at the second martial brother's head.
The second martial brother did not even turn his head. With a wave of his hand, the young man was sent flying and lying on the ground vomiting blood.
