The Confucian and Taoist Sages of Mortal Cultivation

Chapter 105 Kui Xing Island

Upon hearing the cheers from the deck, Yang Qingyuan and Han Li both left the cabin and headed towards the bow.

Lu Dongjia was already waiting on the deck. When he saw a strange man in black robes suddenly appear behind Yang Qingyuan, he couldn't help but stare blankly.

But he wasn't a cultivator after all, so he just assumed Yang Qingyuan had performed a trick similar to "disappearing into the world" and didn't take it seriously.

On the contrary, Han Li's expression changed drastically after he saw Wang Chan's face clearly, and he exclaimed in surprise, "You are the young master of the Ghost Spirit Sect who chased me down in Yan Family Fort back then!"

"Wait a minute, why is my cultivation only at the third level of Qi Refining?"

"Senior Brother Yang, what's going on?"

Yang Qingyuan smiled and explained, "Brother Han, don't panic."

"This person is not the young master of the Ghost Spirit Sect, but is the same kind of being as Fellow Daoist Qu Hun behind you."

"Let's call him—Blood Cicada."

Han Li was also very surprised upon hearing this, and was lost in thought.

During his month at sea, Yang Qingyuan successfully severed a wisp of his soul and refined Wang Chan's body into the "Blood God Child".

This "Blood God Child" is clearly more profound than the Sha Dan clone in the "Mysterious Yin Scripture". Even when Han Li first met Wang Chan, he did not realize that Wang Chan was already dead.

However, Blood God Child's current cultivation level is only at the third level of Qi Refining, but it won't be long before he recovers to Wang Chan's original cultivation level, which is the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment.

"I never expected that the young master of the Ghost Spirit Sect would end up like this." Han Li sighed deeply.

Lu Dongjia, standing nearby, couldn't see through all the intricacies and simply introduced, "Fellow immortals, the port of Kui Xing Island is just ahead."

"Once we reach the shore, I will go and complete the guarantee procedures for you."

"Before completing the formalities, please do not wander around, otherwise you will be treated as an intruder by the Foundation Establishment experts at the port."

Upon hearing this, Yang Qingyuan and Han Li exchanged a glance and silently activated the Nameless Concealing Breath Technique, suppressing their aura to around the twelfth level of Qi Refining.

Kui Xing Island is merely an island where a Core Formation cultivator resides.

Foundation Establishment stage cultivators are already considered experts on the island, attracting considerable attention.

Fearing excessive questioning from the dock inspectors, Yang Qingyuan and Han Li tacitly suppressed their cultivation, reducing it to the Qi Refining stage, and stood quietly at the bow of the merchant ship, looking up at the giant port of Kui Xing Island.

"So big—"

Upon seeing the entire harbor, Han Li couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice, repeatedly clicking his tongue in amazement.

But ahead, a vast expanse of blue sea embraced a massive port built of gray boulders.

The port stretches endlessly along the coastline, with no end in sight.

Hundreds and thousands of large ocean-going ships of various shapes and sizes are moored in the port.

Large and small loading and unloading piers crisscross and are arranged in layers along the harbor.

Land-based trading houses and warehouses stood side by side, with a constant flow of people and vehicles.

Lu Dongjia led Yang Qingyuan, Han Li and his group off the ship and headed straight for a small dark room on the dock.

The interior was simply decorated, with only a black stone table behind which sat an old man in yellow robes with a withered appearance.

The old man in yellow robes was resting with his eyes closed, exuding the aura of someone in the early stages of Foundation Establishment.

"Master Fang!"

Lu Dongjia called out cautiously.

Upon hearing this, the old man in yellow slowly opened his eyes, scanning Yang Qingyuan, Han Li, Qu Hun, and Xue Chanzi. Seeing that the magical power fluctuations emanating from the four were only at the Qi Refining stage, he withdrew his gaze and looked at Lu Dongjia, lazily saying, "Boy Lu, what are you doing here with four Qi Refining stage cultivators?"

Lu Dongjia hurriedly stepped forward and introduced the origins of Yang Qingyuan and his group to the old man. Then he took out several spirit stones from his pocket and stuffed them into the old man's hand.

The old man in yellow weighed the spirit stones in his hand, quite satisfied. With a smile on his lips, he took out three jade tokens from his storage bag at his waist, then made a hand seal and cast a cyan spell towards the three green tokens.

The three tokens hummed, and ancient seal script appeared on their surfaces.

"This is a temporary pass."

The old man in yellow leaned back in his chair and said lazily, "Engrave your names on the jade tablets."

"Of course, we don't need the second corpse."

Upon hearing the words "corpse refining," Lu Dongjia's expression shifted between light and dark. Following the gaze of the old man in yellow, he discovered that the "corpse refining" the old man was referring to was the immortal master named Qu Hun.

Han Li frowned slightly, somewhat displeased, when he saw that the old man in yellow had seen through Qu Hun's background but not Xue Chanzi's identity.

Yang Qingyuan remained unfazed, taking it all for granted.

The "Blood God Child" secret technique recorded in the "True Scripture of Ten Thousand Spirits" can be cultivated to the late stage of Core Formation, and is by no means comparable to the emasculated version of the "Mysterious Yin Technique" clone technique.

Once Xue Chanzi cultivates the Blood Spirit Technique to the Foundation Establishment stage, the blood soul within his body will also grow stronger, and he may even be able to communicate normally with people.

The only drawback of the Blood Spirit Technique is that it's easy to go astray and become possessed by evil spirits.

However, given Wang Chan's aptitude with her dark spiritual root, she has nothing to worry about until she reaches the Core Formation stage.

Han Li quickly came to his senses and made up his mind to use the secret technique recorded in the "Mysterious Yin Scripture" to properly refine Qu Hun when he had time.

Yang Qingyuan and Xue Chanzi stepped forward, took a jade tablet, and engraved their names on it.

Han Li also took a jade tablet and had his name engraved on it.

Seeing this, the old man in yellow said, "Alright, with this temporary pass, you can freely enter and leave Kui Xing Island, including the market area of ​​Fengdu Street."

"Of course, if you want to settle permanently on Kui Xing Island, you will first need to obtain a cave dwelling from Deng Xian Pavilion."

Han Li was eager to make a move as soon as he heard the words "marketplace".

He needed a large number of pills to cultivate the "Three Revolutions Rejuvenation Technique," so he went to the market to purchase new pill formulas.

Yang Qingyuan also seemed to be deep in thought.

Now that he has reached the False Core stage, he urgently needs to find spiritual items to assist in forming his Core, such as "Snow Spirit Water," "Heavenly Fire Liquid," and "Dust-Subduing Pill."

Yang Qingyuan secretly estimated that after the initial cleansing of his Thunder Spirit Root by the Heaven-Mending Pill, even without the aid of external objects, the chance of successfully forming a core was over 20%.

The magical power cultivated from the natal technique "Divine Sword Thunder Control Scripture" is exceptionally condensed, exceeding that of cultivators of the same level by more than double, and provides considerable assistance in the formation of the core.

Both the "Inner Saint Technique" and the "Great Evolution Technique" have been cultivated to the second level, and their divine sense is comparable to that of a mid-stage Core Formation cultivator, which is also of great benefit to Core Formation.

If one can find treasures such as "Snow Spirit Water", "Heavenly Fire Liquid" and "Dust-Subduing Pill" in the market of Kuixing Island, the success rate of forming the core will exceed 70%, which is basically a sure thing.

In addition, Yang Qingyuan also remembered that among the affiliated islands of Kuixing Island, there was an island called "Xiaohuan Island".

This "Little Huan Island" is a place for cultivators from Kui Xing Island to open up their cave dwellings, but the ancient spirit insect "Gold Devouring Insect" lives underground, which is a hundred times stronger than spirit pets such as Blood Jade Spider and Ink Dragon.

"Now that we're here, we must plunder all the treasures of the Chaotic Star Sea," Yang Qingyuan thought to himself.

"Alright, you may leave." The old man in yellow closed his eyes, leaned back in his chair, and dismissed him.

Lu Dongjia bowed repeatedly, left the small dark room, and went to the dock. He immediately hired a beast-drawn cart pulled by two beasts that looked like sheep and cows, and carried Yang Qingyuan, Han Li, Qu Hun, and Xue Chanzi, speeding towards the huge city in the center of the island.
