Qi Yue was startled, and all the muscles in her body immediately tensed up.

Chen Yang simply pinched Qi Yue's butt and then quickly left.

Qi Yue stood there, making sure no one had seen anything, before she finally breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Then, she couldn't help but snort inwardly. Chen Yang was getting more and more arrogant. If he couldn't get three hundred crystal cores when he came back from Spirit Turtle Island, he would have to be punished properly!

At this moment, Zhao Qiankun, who was in the very center, looked around and said, "Everyone! You are all fortunate, and you are the pillars and future talents that our Great Ming Kingdom has been working hard to cultivate! Soon you will be entering Linggui Island. Here I want to emphasize the first rule of Linggui Island to you—that is, absolutely no fighting between each other is allowed! Absolutely not! If you break this rule, you will be wiped out by all three of our organizations after you leave! This is an ironclad rule that cannot be broken!"

Chen Yang sat down next to Qin Yuwei and nodded in agreement when he heard Zhao Qiankun say that.

After all, those selected are all elites. If they were to fight each other on the island, wouldn't that cause losses to the Ming Dynasty?

However, despite Zhao Qiankun's words, and despite the excitement of the young disciples who were about to go to the island, no one felt there was any danger.

But Chen Yang knew that this time it was definitely not simple!

After all, the last time Wu Zhen, that elite demon, specially gave Qin Yuwei and Bai Lu, his two disciples, a high-grade spiritual weapon each, and specifically instructed them to stay on an island on the west side of Spirit Turtle Island and not to run around.

Clearly, that elite alien demon knew something.

At this point, Zhao Qiankun mentioned some precautions to take after entering Spirit Turtle Island, and specifically emphasized that one should try not to bring any items of the spirit treasure level into the island.

After all, on Spirit Turtle Island, attacks exceeding the power of the Foundation Establishment Realm have a certain countermeasure effect, and will be killed by the backlash from Spirit Turtle Island.

As Zhao Qiankun finished speaking, a dark island appeared in front of them.

The ship sailed for another two hours before finally getting close.

The island has a rather unusual shape; it resembles a giant tortoise shell.

No wonder it's called Spirit Turtle Island.

At this moment, the leaders of each team were secretly giving instructions to their disciples.

Chen Yang's concealment and detection technique spread across the large ship as he searched for Ma Xinran's aura.

To Chen Yang's surprise, he couldn't tell which one was Ma Xinran.

Chen Yang frowned slightly, then understood: it seemed that Ma Xinran had likely increased her strength again in the past few days, or perhaps she had some special spiritual artifact that concealed her aura.

Chen Yang didn't pay any attention and withdrew his divine sense.

at this time.

On the left side of the large ship, twelve people were gathered together.

Standing in the very center was the woman who was even more unassuming than the vegetable vendor; she was none other than Jiang Yan, the current head of the Kendo Pavilion.

Jiang Yan looked at her students, then said in a low voice, "You have only one purpose for this trip to the island: to escort Yuanyuan to the Spirit Spring. Also, no matter what happens, you must ensure Yuanyuan's safety, understand?"

The surrounding disciples immediately agreed.

Jiang Yan then spoke to a girl in her early twenties, saying, "Yuanyuan, don't be careless this time on the island. We're definitely not the only ones who know about the Spirit Spring; the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Royal Family likely already know as well, and they might even have a rough map of its location. So, once we get to Spirit Turtle Island, we must act quickly!"

The girl called Yuanyuan just chuckled and said nonchalantly, "Don't worry, Xiao Jiang, with me here, what are you worried about?"

She had a pretty face, pure, cute, and beautiful, and her chest was as round and full as her name suggested. However, when she spoke, she had an air of being old-fashioned, and she even called Jiang Yan "Little Jiang," which seemed rather impolite.

But Jiang Yan wasn't surprised at all. She smiled and said, "How could I not worry? After all, this spiritual spring is enough for you to successfully temper your body and break through, or even directly transform. If you don't get it, the loss will be huge."

Yuanyuan waved her hand and said, "You're fifty years old, yet you're still so anxious and insecure. Can you live a happy life like this? Xiao Jiang, the most important thing in life is to be happy; everything else is secondary. In this world, it's perfectly fine to be a Golden Core Realm Great Perfection cultivator in peace. Why bother striving so hard for that Transcendent Foundation Establishment? Perhaps that's just someone else's trap."

After Yuanyuan finished speaking, she turned around and continued chatting and laughing with her other friends.

Jiang Yan shook her head with a wry smile, but didn't say anything more.

At the very back of this large ship.

Zhao Qiankun stood on the ship's side with a disciple, his expression serious and his face showing some worry.

The disciple beside him looked quite young. He chuckled and said, "Father, why do you look so worried? Our plan is about to succeed. You should be happy."

Zhao Qiankun shook his head and sighed slightly, saying, "That spiritual spring only appears once every fifty years. I'm worried you might miss it. If the Zhu family takes it, it will be quite troublesome. The Zhu family's young emperor is very likely to be mixed in with the group that is going to the island this time. He is very talented and popular. In addition, he is too young. If he gets the spiritual spring, he might also affect the senses of the law enforcement officers."

Zhao Jingwei chuckled and said, "Now that I'm on the island, how could Zhu Yuejian possibly obtain the spiritual spring? Don't worry. Besides, perhaps I'll bring you better news from the island, Father. For example, if Zhu Yuejian really does come to the island, wouldn't it be more convenient to ensure he doesn't return this time?"

Zhao Qiankun was taken aback, looked at Zhao Jingwei beside him, and said, "If we can really kill him silently, that would be good. However, it's too dangerous. After all, neither the old eunuch, nor the Sword Dao Pavilion, nor the other few half-step Foundation Establishment old monsters will allow this to happen."

Zhao Jingwei waved his hand and said, "Father, don't worry, I'll handle it."

At this moment, the giant ship slowed down and gently came to rest on the island.

The old eunuch leaped onto the rocks on the shore with ease, as if walking in mid-air.

He addressed the people on the large ship, saying, "Next, all the young people who have come to the island, please line up one by one to undergo a bone age test! Anyone with a bone age over twenty-five years old will not be allowed to enter!"

Then, Zhao Qiankun, Jiang Yan, and two other old men at the half-step Foundation Establishment stage appeared on the shore at the same time.

The five of them stood quietly at the disembarkation point, waiting.

Everyone about to arrive on the island needs to disembark one by one and undergo bone age testing.

Bone age, also known as bone age, is the age rings of bones, and it cannot be faked. Every year, bones grow and metabolize, leaving behind traces that cannot be erased.

Chen Yang, Qin Yuwei, and others also stood up, and everyone consciously lined up to wait.

at this time.

Leading the way was a young scholar, a disciple recommended by Tianbao Pavilion.

The scholar was the first to reach the disembarkation point, and with a light leap, he landed on the reef.

The old eunuch, Zhao Qiankun, and four others immediately reached out and pressed on his arm joints and other areas.

This scholar-like man always had a smile on his face, completely unconcerned.

Soon, Zhao Qiankun released his grip, nodded, and said, "Bone age 23, test passed."

The scholar laughed heartily, leaped forward, and walked ahead.

Ahead was a downward-sloping opening.

Someone guided the scholar into the cave entrance.

Chen Yang stood at the back, watching the people in front of him pass through one by one and then line up to enter the cave entrance.

Only then did Chen Yang realize that the so-called Spirit Turtle Island was not on the surface of this island, but rather required to go deep into the cave entrance to enter the real Spirit Turtle Island.

Before long, it was Zhaoming Academy's turn.

Chen Yang and the others also passed through in turn.

When it was Chen Yang's turn to be tested, Zhao Qiankun glanced at Chen Yang, snorted, but did not make any other move.

Although the Zhao family of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the imperial family were engaged in open and covert struggles, they maintained a facade of harmony. After all, the Zhu family was still the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and it wasn't the Zhao family's turn yet.

As the team leader, Chen Yang waited until all the disciples of Zhaoming Academy had finished their checks before calling the remaining nine people to walk forward together and enter the cave.

The cave slopes downwards.

About 100 meters later.

Chen Yang suddenly felt the spiritual energy of heaven and earth around him instantly become denser!

At the same time, within this world, there were also mysterious and profound energies scattered around. When one's body came into contact with that energy, one's internal organs seemed to resonate slightly.

Chen Yang was greatly surprised!

At that moment, he suddenly understood why the entire Ming Dynasty attached such importance to this trip to Linggui Island! This place was indeed different!

If one cultivates on this island, even a cultivator of average talent can easily advance from the Qi Refining stage to the Golden Body stage in just three to five years!

More importantly, there is a mysterious energy in this world that seems to be related to the formation of one's foundation. If one were to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage here, the success rate would be significantly higher.

Just then, Qin Yuwei, who was standing next to Chen Yang, said, "Chen Yang, stop being such a country bumpkin, let's go. Do you know that the entire Central Continent is said to be as rich in spiritual energy as this Spirit Turtle Island? It's rumored that even the lowest-level cultivators in the Central Continent can easily reach the Great Perfection of the Golden Core Realm! That's why the cultivators of our Great Ming Kingdom are all desperately trying to establish their foundations and leave this place for the Central Continent."
