Bai Suzhen, I really need to punish you properly.

Shengyu Village, Li Family Inn.

This is a small inn by the sea. It's not very big, and usually only a few fishermen and passersby stop by occasionally. The rooms are usually empty, and business is slow.

Wang Xuan used invisibility to walk in.

Upon reaching the second floor, I gently pushed open a door, revealing a simple and unpretentious room.

This must be Li Xiaoyao's room.

He found the Water Spirit Orb among a pile of odds and ends in the old wooden box.

This Water Spirit Orb is entirely water-blue in color. It looks quite ordinary, which explains why Li Xiaoyao always treated it like an ordinary marble.

But as soon as Wang Xuan held it in his hand, he immediately felt the warm, gentle water-based spiritual energy slowly surging within him.

After obtaining the Water Spirit Orb, Wang Xuan did not rush to leave.

He also needs to clear away some potential threats for Zhao Ling'er.

Regardless, given his special relationship with Qing'er, and since Zhao Ling'er is the new descendant of Nuwa, he would certainly not ignore her.

He even planned to go to Fairy Spirit Island to find Zhao Ling'er and find out what her relationship with Qing'er was.

The location of Fairy Spirit Island should not be difficult to find; many fishermen in Sheng Fishing Village have seen it from afar.

However, they could never venture deep into the island. Once they approached the outer perimeter, they would be confused by the mist formation, causing them to spin in circles and only be able to observe from afar.

If you ask these fishermen, you should be able to find out their approximate location.

The challenge lies in entering Immortal Spirit Island without destroying the formation.

For many years, the Black Miao people have been searching for Zhao Ling'er, a descendant of Nuwa, but the Immortal Spirit Island is covered by a lotus maze, making it difficult for them to reach the island.

Those with malicious intentions who intrude will be attacked by wind, waves, and illusions.

Even a person with cultivation and no malicious intent who tries to force their way in will be trapped inside.

Only by destroying the array's core can we successfully reach Immortal Spirit Island.

The Black Miao people settled in the Li Family Inn in Linhai. Taking advantage of Li Xiaoyao's filial piety, they secretly poisoned Li Xiaoyao's aunt and then tricked him into going to Immortal Spirit Island to retrieve the medicine.

They gave him the Sky-Shattering Hammer, enticing him to shatter the six Asura statues.

After Li Xiaoyao destroyed the formation, the Black Miao people successfully invaded the island, causing heavy losses to Immortal Spirit Island. Except for Zhao Ling'er, everyone else perished.

Wang Xuan did not want to enter Immortal Spirit Island by destroying the formation.

Similarly, he didn't want Li Xiaoyao to ruin things.

As for killing Li Xiaoyao to completely eliminate the potential threat, he couldn't be that ruthless.

Moreover, even without Li Xiaoyao, there would be Zhang Xiaoyao or Zhao Xiaoyao.

This only addresses the symptoms, not the root cause.

He already had a plan in mind.

On one hand, she had to deceive and guide Li Xiaoyao to prevent him from becoming a traitor and to ensure the safety of Immortal Spirit Island. On the other hand, she had to increase the trust that Saintess and Anu had in her.

A two-pronged approach.

Of course, one must also improve one's cultivation level as quickly as possible.

They must at least have the strength to protect Zhao Ling'er.

Even if the Moon Worship Cult Leader is powerful, he's nothing special and doesn't take him seriously. The truly powerful one is that ancient water demon beast.

He wasn't really sure if his own wife, Bai Suzhen, could defeat this water monster.

After all, even someone as powerful as Qing'er, a descendant of Nuwa, could only seal it by sacrificing herself.

Wang Xuan was originally quite satisfied with his progress in cultivation.

I even think that this semi-reclining posture for cultivation isn't actually that bad.

But then I thought about it again.

Nezha was able to defeat the Third Prince at the age of seven.

Jing Tian can defeat the Evil Sword Immortal in just one year.

Agarwood can defeat Erlang Shen in three years.

Of course, on the other hand, Nezha relied on the Universe Ring and the Hun Tian Ling, Jing Tian was the reincarnation of Fei Peng and passed on his skills to everyone, and Erlang Shen held back an entire Pacific Ocean when fighting Chen Xiang.

Speaking of Erlang Shen, his sister, the Third Holy Mother Yang Chan, should still be on Mount Hua.

If he could actually marry Yang Chan now, his second brother-in-law would probably chop him into pieces if he saw that he had so many women and was even flirting with his sister.

However, thinking about it this way greatly increased my motivation to improve my cultivation.

Indeed, beautiful girls are the primary driving force for cultivation.

Poor Holy Mother of the Third Princess, please be patient and wait for me a little longer.

Wang Xuan sat quietly in Li Xiaoyao's room, his thoughts wandering, wandering to all sorts of things.

After an unknown amount of time, Li Xiaoyao leisurely returned to his room.

Upon seeing a handsome, unfamiliar young man suddenly appear in the room, Li Xiaoyao looked wary and asked in a loud voice, "Who are you? How did you get into my room?"

"Your name is Li Xiaoyao?"

Li Xiaoyao frowned, puzzled, and asked, "How do you know my name?"

Wang Xuan couldn't help but smile.

His current strength and opportunities are all due to his own hard work and perseverance.

Li Xiaoyao was naturally one of them.

"I know a lot more. One day in the future, a few Miao people will come to stay at your inn, and then your aunt will suddenly fall seriously ill. At that time, you can come to the county government office in Qiantang to find me, and I can help you cure her."

According to the original storyline, Li Xiaoyao was tricked by a few Black Miao people into setting foot on Immortal Spirit Island on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month.

But what if?

In case the Black Miao people's plan is brought forward.

Therefore, Wang Xuan naturally wanted to add an extra layer of insurance by using Li Xiaoyao as an alarm clock.

Although his aunt often disciplined and nagged him, Li Xiaoyao was extremely filial to his only relative and immediately retorted angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Wang Xuan used a little magic, and Li Xiaoyao's body suddenly stiffened, finding that he couldn't move at all.

Then, he flashed and instantly appeared in front of Li Xiaoyao.

Wang Xuan smiled and said calmly, "You don't believe me?"

"I..." Li Xiaoyao was utterly astonished, his eyes darting around as he tried desperately to move, but to no avail. He quickly said, "I believe you!"

He had worked odd jobs at the inn since he was a child, listening to the strange tales told by people from all walks of life. He had long been fascinated by the magic of immortals, and now that he had seen it with his own eyes, he had no doubts left.

Wang Xuan smiled slightly and released Li Xiaoyao from his restraints.

At this time, Li Xiaoyao was just a mischievous boy, and it was not difficult to fool him at all.

Li Xiaoyao immediately lowered his stance and pleaded eagerly, "Brother, big brother, what's your name? Can I learn this skill from you? Please teach me!"

"Young man, don't be impatient. Someone will teach you swordsmanship in the future."

Wang Xuan was not lying; the Drunken Sword Immortal would indeed teach Li Xiaoyao swordsmanship in the future.

He considered himself to be quite kind, and did not prevent Li Xiaoyao from meeting the Drunken Sword Immortal. He only thought about intercepting the Water Spirit Pearl and Zhao Ling'er. No, the Water Spirit Pearl was never Li Xiaoyao's to begin with, and Zhao Ling'er was even less so.

Li Xiaoyao grew increasingly anxious: "Brother, I want to learn from you right now!"

"What's the rush? Don't you have any self-control?" Wang Xuan's face turned cold, and he said in a chilling voice, "Remember, when that day comes, you must come to the Qiantang County government office to find me. You can't come early, and you can't not come. At that time, I will give you whatever you want."

As soon as Wang Xuan finished speaking, he left a silver ingot on the table and then vanished.

He arrived at the dock and bought a bass from a fisherman for twenty coins. Then he asked about the location of the small island that was shrouded in mist all year round.

After learning the exact location, Wang Xuan disappeared from the spot, released the sea bass, and flew towards the deep sea.

After flying for about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, they finally saw the Fairy Spirit Island shrouded in celestial mist in the distance.

However, Wang Xuan did not rush in, lest he accidentally step into the maze and get trapped inside.

He could certainly enter by destroying the six Asura statues, but that would only bring disaster to all the women on Fairy Spirit Island.

There's still time; there'll always be a better way.

After confirming his location, he didn't linger and quickly flew back to the Qiantang County government office.

……

Zixuan will accept it. Why is it that no one seems to have guessed the relationship between Wang Xuan and Qing'er correctly? Of course, now that I've explained it this way, everyone should understand.
