Chapter 40 Black Lake Island

"Junior sister."

Yao Zhengsheng called Nie Yuechan's name softly.

Even though the master asked me to concentrate on preparing for Dan-forming, I still wanted to come and say hello before I went into seclusion.

A woman in black gauze was lying on the jade bed. She got up when she heard the cry.

She has willow-shaped eyebrows, star-like eyes, a delicate nose, red lips, and long black hair that flows down her face.

"Senior brother is here?"

Yao Zhengsheng walked forward, hugged her slender waist, and stroked her hair with some heartache.

Then he held his face with his left hand, looked at his pale face, and said guiltily:

"Junior sister, you have suffered."

The latter just smiled, held Yao Zhengsheng's left hand with both hands, and said softly:
"Brother, don't blame yourself. If it weren't for you, Chan'er would have died. It's all thanks to you that Chan'er can talk to you here.

And not only my senior brother, but also my fellow elders and fellow students all care about me very much.”

Then he took out a piece of white soft jade from his chest:
"Look, Brother. Uncle Yu gave me this Soul-Nourishing Jade. Junior Sister Lin must be going crazy with jealousy now, haha..."

Yao Zhengsheng gently rubbed his forehead and listened to his chattering without interrupting.

"Brother, just go and form the elixir without any worries. Chan'er will be waiting here for you to come back after forming the elixir."

"Master has told you?"

Nie Yuechan nodded.

"Junior sister, when I am finished with the elixir, I will go find a treasure for you to heal your soul. We agreed to be a pair of immortal lovers."

Nie Yuechan just chuckled and said:
"Brother, you are joking. Father is counting on you to take over the responsibility of Qingmu Sect after you have achieved Dan... I am satisfied that you have this intention."

······
One day later, Wei Zhong looked at the blood-eating bat king in front of him and murmured:

"Demon beasts without an owner are called demons, and those with an owner are called spirits."

In this world of cultivation, conventional demon beasts and spirit beasts are actually the same thing. The only difference is whether they have been tamed by human cultivators.

"You bloodthirsty demon, you'd better stay under my command, lest you commit murder when released."

After saying that, Wei Zhong used the Beast Driving Technique on it.

This blood-eating bat king was the winner among the group of bat king candidates. After winning, he devoured the remains of the previous bat king and entered the late first stage.

To control this kind of group of monsters, you just need to control the king among them. When the time comes to make them fight, you only need to give orders to the Bat King, and he will command the bat group to fight.

Now that Wei Zhong has become a foundation-building cultivator and his spiritual awareness has been completed, it naturally doesn't take much effort for him to contract a small first-level monster like this.

A spiritual pattern was easily imprinted into its body. Wei Zhong waved his hand and ordered it to return to the cave. Now it was time for it to look after the house for him.

"Master, another spirit fish has been caught!"

It was the maids sent by the Li family who were shouting.

Wei Zhong looked and found that there was movement on the fishing rod. He raised his hand and pulled it, and a green spirit fish was thrown into the air by Wei Zhong.

Then, guided by the spiritual energy, he handed it to the maid beside him to bake.

The great jin bubbled up from the lake, and now this large lake has become its habitat.

Wei Zhong casually ejected a Spirit-Feeding Pill as a reward for driving away the spirit fish.

Looking back at the beautiful girls around him, Wei Zhong took a sip of the wine and felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction.

Yesterday, after learning that the foundation-building cultivator on Black Lake Island was killed by Wei Zhong, Li Ren, the head of the Li family, was overjoyed and sent these maids overnight. Most of them were from the Li family, but they were ordinary in qualifications and barely able to refine their qi.

However, they all have their own characteristics, which gave Wei Zhong a feast for the eyes.

A rainbow light appeared in the distance, revealing the figure of Li Haowen.

He looked exhausted, obviously because he had been rushing back to the clan day and night after receiving the notice. This journey was only half a day for Wei Zhong, but it took more than ten hours for a Qi-refining cultivator like Li Haowen. When he saw Wei Zhong, he immediately bowed and saluted:

"Thank you, senior, for saving our Li family from danger."

Wei Zhong waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to be polite, and then he used his spiritual power to lift a spiritual contract and placed it in front of him.

Li Haowen looked at it carefully for a few seconds, put it away solemnly, and said to Wei Zhong with a cupped hand:

"Please wait a moment, Senior. I will go find the elders of the clan to sign this agreement."

"Go!"

Wei Zhong nodded without saying anything more.

She turned around and started to taste the spiritual food with the maids. Seeing that Dajin had chased another spiritual fish over, she stuffed the catch into its big mouth in a bad mood.

"No need, just eat it yourself."

Then he looked at Li Haowen who was leaving. On the spiritual contract he had just given him, Wei Zhong asked the Li family to give him the Black Lake Island and the surrounding waters, and to completely transfer the ownership.

Wei Zhong thought that he was much more benevolent than Zhu Daoren, so he did not seize the other second-level spiritual island, giving him hope to continue to run it into a foundation-building family.

It was just a second-level spiritual island. The Li family might be able to recognize the reality. If they couldn't, I would have to help them wipe their eyes.

A moment later, everyone gathered in the Li family ancestral hall. Except for Li Haowen, most of the people here were the leaders of the Li family.

After reading Wei Zhong's spiritual contract, some people expressed their opposition.

"Impossible. Black Lake Island is the most important spiritual island of my Li family. How can I give it to him for nothing?"

"That's right. Even if he is a foundation-building cultivator, he can't bully our Li family like this. We need to find someone to judge the situation. Let's go find a master from the Qingmu Sect to judge the situation."

······
Li Ren, the head of the Li family, was almost deafened by the voices of these elders. In a rage, he slapped the person who was clamoring for justice.

"Old Eight Li, you are only thinking about your useless son. Over the years, he has only learned how to suck blood from my Li family. What else has he learned?
Last time, the deacon of Qingmu Sect that you and your son found, besides extorting a thousand spirit stones from my Li family, did he do anything to stop that Taoist Zhu?

You are such a waste, your whole family is waste. If you say any more nonsense in this meeting of elders, I will tear your mouth off."

The man was slapped and scolded by Li Ren, and immediately covered his face and dared not say a word.

The entire ancestral hall fell silent.

Then Li Ren calmed down and looked at Li Haowen below:

"Nephew Haowen, what do you think?"

Li Haowen looked at the clan leader's expectant eyes, then looked around at his uncles and said:
“Give, you must give!

We can't afford to offend Taoist Candle, but can we afford to offend Senior Chu who beat him to death?"

At this point the elders looked at each other, and Li Ren nodded.

"Not only that, although this Senior Chu is a long-time spiritual farmer, his identity is not simple. There are even rumors in Mingyue Market that he is on good terms with two direct disciples of Qingmu Sect. We, the Li family, cannot afford to offend such a person."

Hearing this, Li Ren showed doubt on his face, and the elders of the clan also discussed:

"This Chu Zhong actually has a connection with the Qingmu Sect. This is not simple. We need to consider this carefully."

······
In an instant, it seemed as if the tone had been set in the ancestral hall, and everyone voiced their approval.

At this point, Li Ren finally made the decision:

"sign!"

"My Li family's foundation is not as good as the Yan and Chen families. Now we need a foundation-building leader, and now is the perfect time to take advantage of the power of this senior Chu.

And cultivate our Li family’s own foundation as soon as possible to gain a foothold.

Haowen, you should invite Senior Chu to become a guest of my Li family later, and the remuneration... should be as per Senior's wishes as possible.

As for you, don’t hide the outstanding young girls in your family. Let them go to Black Lake Island more often. If they can become the concubines of the seniors, it will be a blessing that they will never get in their lifetimes.”
