With the Eight Immortals' magical treasures in hand, even a mortal like myself! Ha!

Manager Cao acted quickly, immediately finding someone to get a plaque for the Eight Immortals Pavilion, and also a flag with talismans painted on it.

While Manager Cao was busy with these things, Gu Qing discussed the matter of drawing talismans with Tieguai Li.

Upon hearing this, Tieguai Li was filled with resentment, but in the end he still agreed to draw three mid-grade talismans every day and spend the rest of his time absorbing spirit stones to improve his cultivation.

As for Han Xiangzi, he hurriedly shook his head, saying that he did not know how to draw talismans, but only knew how to accelerate the ripening of medicinal herbs.

Seeing this, Gu Qing could only ask Han Xiangzi to accelerate the ripening of the medicinal herbs before handing them over to him to refine the pills.

Everything is arranged. Now all that's left is to find a cave dwelling and cultivate a spiritual field.

"Now that we have a shop, let's find a cave dwelling nearby. Do you think we should go and talk to the island lord directly?" Gu Qing stroked his stubble as he pondered. If he didn't know the island lord's strength, he certainly wouldn't dare to have any further ideas.

However, Gu Qing knew the strength of the three island masters of Kui Xing Island: Mu Long Zhenren was at the mid-stage of Core Formation, while the two deputy island masters, Yuan Jun and Kan Qin, were at the early stage of Core Formation.

If it weren't for the Star Palace's influence behind them, Gu Qing might have already borrowed their cave dwelling and mountain peak.

"Hehehe, I think we don't need to. It seems someone is trying to find us through this sign," Han Xiangzi said, tossing a green jade sign in his hand.

This is the identity token I got when I entered the island; I never expected it to have a location tracking function.

"It's good that they're here. You two should have a good talk with them and ask for three or four mountain peaks if you want." Gu Qing said that he wanted one mountain peak for himself, one for Tieguai Li, one for Han Xiangzi, and one for Xin Ruyin as well.

At this point, Xin Ruyin had not yet been summoned by Gu Qing, but soon Gu Qing would need her help to look after the shop.

Gu Qing was busy cultivating and didn't have time to look after the shop.

Just as Gu Qing was lost in thought, two streaks of light appeared in the sky and fell down. After the light dissipated, the figures of a man and a woman appeared.

The man was a handsome middle-aged man, and the woman was a beautiful woman; it was obvious without even looking that they were the two deputy island owners.

Behind the two deputy island lords were Wang Yuan and Yuan Changjun.

Seeing that Gu Qing and his two companions had not left the island, Wang Yuan was pleased and wanted to go forward, but was stopped by his Daoist partner, Yuan Changjun.

At this moment, Yuan Jun and Kan Qin, the two deputy island masters of Kui Xing Island, looked at Tieguai Li and Han Xiangzi. They then exchanged glances and saw surprise in each other's eyes.

"So it's you two seniors. I was very rude just now, please forgive me." Yuan Jun cupped his hands and said with a hint of apology.

Wang Yuan and Yuan Changjun were shocked again. Even their master addressed the other party as "senior." Could these two be Nascent Soul stage monsters?

He had actually encountered a Nascent Soul cultivator, and they had even addressed each other as fellow Daoists before.

Thinking of this, Wang Yuan's cheeks flushed slightly.

"Hehehe, we're all Core Formation cultivators, no need for such formalities. My junior nephew wants to open a shop on the island. I heard you have thirty-six peaks rich in spiritual energy. Giving us four shouldn't be a problem, right?" Han Xiangzi was straightforward and frank, and repeated Gu Qing's request.

Yuan Jun and Kan Qin exchanged a glance again after hearing this, and then said, "If the two seniors would like to speak, there would be no problem. I believe the island lord would be very happy to hear this. It's not good to just stand here and chat. If the two seniors don't mind, please come with us to Tianmen Peak for a visit."

Tieguai Li and Han Xiangzi glanced at Gu Qing almost imperceptibly. Gu Qing nodded slightly and then transmitted his voice, "Settle the matter of the mountain peak."

Seeing Gu Qing nod, Tieguai Li and Han Xiangzi naturally had no objections, so they left together with Yuan Jun and Kan Qin, the two deputy island masters.

Gu Qing was left alone in the spot.

Seeing that Gu Qing hadn't left, Wang Yuan couldn't help but step forward and complain, "Fellow Daoist, you've really put me in a difficult position. I just got a severe scolding from my own master."

"Hehehe, sorry." Gu Qing was speechless. Neither Tieguai Li nor Han Xiangzi had concealed their cultivation levels. He could only blame Wang Yuan for being blind.

"Fellow Daoist, you must make it up to me properly. Why don't you come to my cave as a guest?" Wang Yuan suggested. He knew that Gu Qing had two Core Formation cultivators backing him up, so he wanted to befriend him. If he needed any help in the future, he could ask Gu Qing for a hand.

As the saying goes, having more friends means having more options.

Gu Qing thought about it and didn't refuse. He might need this person's help in the future.

So Gu Qing gave Manager Cao a few instructions and then followed Wang Yuan away from Tiandu Street, flying towards Qingyun Mountain once again.

Because of the large protective barrier around them, the group walked quite a distance until they reached the outskirts of Kuixing City before they used their magical artifacts to fly towards Qingyun Mountain.

After half a day of flying, the group landed on a relatively high mountain peak. Wang Yuan pointed to three illusory figures on the horizon and said, "Those are Tianzhu Peak, Tianmen Peak, and Tianxiao Peak of Qingyun Mountain."

Looking into the distance, Gu Qing saw three mountain peaks piercing the sky, their height unknown. He guessed that Tieguai Li and Han Xiangzi must be on one of these peaks.

"The outer ring around us is comprised of the thirty-six peaks with the richest spiritual energy. Thanks to my master, I was fortunate enough to occupy one of these peaks." Although Wang Yuan said he was grateful to his master, he had a confident expression on his face.

It seems he does have some skill; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to occupy one of the thirty-six peaks for so long.

After hearing this, Gu Qing looked at the remaining thirty-six relatively small peaks and asked, "The people on these peaks are probably all related to the island lords in some way, right?"

After hearing this, Wang Yuan scratched his head and chuckled a few times, his expression seemingly confirming Gu Qing's guess.

However, this is not surprising. If Gu Qing were the island lord, he would naturally arrange for his trusted confidants to stay nearby.

"The Thirty-Six Peaks should be full now, right?" Gu Qing asked again.

Wang Yuan casually said, "The Thirty-Six Peaks have always been at full capacity, but don't worry, Fellow Daoist Gu, with a little adjustment, we can still free up four peaks."

"Hehehe!" Gu Qing chuckled. He didn't know the pain until he was cut by the knife himself. If he had chosen Wang Yuan's mountain, he probably wouldn't be looking like this now.

The two then chatted about cultivation levels. When Wang Yuan learned that Gu Qing was already at the late Foundation Establishment stage in his thirties, he was even more surprised.

Wang Yuan was so surprised by so many things today that he was almost numb to it.

Gu Qing also realized that something was amiss. Reaching the late stage of Foundation Establishment at the age of thirty was too astonishing. It seemed that in the future, it would be better to say that he was fifty years old when reporting his age.
