Chapter 86 The Big Chisel, Digging Hard
Seeing that his father was showing signs of breaking through his bottleneck, Qingfeng was overjoyed.
This is exactly the effect he wanted.
The "Hoping Fathers Become Dragons" plan has been a resounding success! This is truly a genius of the first generation!
"Father, you can go back to your secluded cultivation to break through your current level without worry. You can leave all the affairs of the sect to me."
Qingfeng patted his chest confidently and said.
"Feng'er...you now bear a heavy responsibility; communicating with the seniors in the upper realm is extremely important."
During my seclusion, I cannot always be by your side to protect you. Please keep these 20 Azure Flame Thunders and the Thunder Spear Talisman I crafted.
If you encounter danger, this talisman can unleash thirty percent of the power of my natal magic weapon. Even a cultivator in the early Nascent Soul stage would not fare well from a single hit.
Qing Sanyang took out several life-saving items from his storage bag and handed them to Qing Feng.
"Father, don't worry, I will be careful."
Qingfeng put the things away and nodded in agreement.
"Well, you should stay in Tianxing City for a while, and return to Qingyang Sect after the Star Picking Tournament is over."
"Feng'er, remember this: on the path of cultivation, wealth, companions, methods, and environment are all indispensable, but they are all external things. Only your own life is fundamental."
Qing Sanyang took one last deep look at his son, his body crackling with lightning, and his figure transformed into a pale blue arc of electricity, shooting towards the outside of Tianxing City and disappearing into the horizon in an instant.
"Dad, you must work hard to succeed."
Qingfeng spoke softly in the direction his father had left.
He knew that his father's seclusion would last for decades, or even a century.
This means that for a long time to come, he will have to play it safe and focus on developing his abilities.
Once the Void Heaven Palace opens, we'll seize the Void Heaven Cauldron and the Azure Ice Flame.
During this time, he had to secretly mine the mineral veins on Biling Island. The high-grade and top-grade spirit stones inside were extremely important to him.
"Store up grain and delay declaring yourself king."
To replace the Star Palace and crush the Six Paths Supreme Saint and Wan Sangu, we need to develop more and cultivate our power.
Finally, we'll wait for Dad to emerge from seclusion, then gather our forces and launch a full-scale attack.
Qingfeng withdrew his gaze and looked towards his own mansion.
Yuan Yao, Yan Li, Wang Ning, and Si Yue are not just pretty faces; they are his helpers in his future conquest of the Chaotic Star Sea.
Upon returning to the mansion, Yuan Yao was the first to greet him.
"Young master, what was that just now?"
She asked with slight concern.
Although Qing Sanyang's aura fluctuations were deliberately concealed, the fleeting Nascent Soul stage aura still startled them.
"Oh, it's nothing. My father had some insights and came to tell me that he's gone back to his sect to cultivate in seclusion. He told me not to cause trouble and to wait patiently for the Star-Picking Tournament to begin."
Let me tell you, my father has already sent gifts to the Star Palace, and I've already been chosen as the island master of Kui Xing Island.
"You are both the island's wives now."
Qingfeng reverted to his playboy persona, embracing Yuan Yao and groping her all over.
"Oh dear, young master! My senior sister and I not only want to be the island lord's wives, but also the deputy island lords. We're now Core Formation cultivators, and we can serve you!"
Yuan Yao broke free from Qing Feng's embrace and coquettishly hid behind Yan Li.
"Alright, I'll become the island owner, and I'll assign you the position of deputy island owner."
Qingfeng smiled, pretending to be a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey.
He didn't want to get involved in things in the first place, so it was just right to let Yanli and Yuanyao manage Kuixing Island for him.
"Young master, then... then Siyue also wants to be a hall master."
When Wen Siyue heard about Kui Xing Island, she thought of her father, Wen Qiang.
Years have passed, and she has learned the truth about what happened back then.
It was the Extreme Yin Island that tempted Elder Gu to rebel, and Elder Gu used her life to threaten her father, Wen Qiang, into doing things for him.
It was because of her that her father was blackmailed and ultimately died in the Colosseum.
Now that Elder Gu has long been executed by the Star Palace, her only remaining enemy is Wu Chou from Jiyin Island, the instigator.
"Siyue also wants to become stronger and serve the young master!"
Wen Siyue said earnestly.
"Okay, all arranged."
Qingfeng gently rubbed Siyue's face.
……
In the days that followed, Tianxing City became increasingly bustling.
At the foot of the sacred mountain, the massive Star-Picking Platform is under construction day and night.
With the once-in-a-century "Star-Picking Tournament" about to begin, cultivators from all directions are flooding into Tianxing City, causing the rent for inns and cave dwellings to soar.
Some of these cultivators came for the selection of the island lord, while others simply wanted to broaden their horizons and exchange ideas with other cultivators.
Some even wanted to take this opportunity to hold private exchange meetings, hoping to trade materials, pills, cultivation techniques, and the like. It was truly a gathering of extraordinary people.
While enjoying the pleasures of the countryside, Qingfeng was also planning his "offshore mining" project.
"Spirit stones are still not enough."
Inside the quiet room of the cave dwelling, Qingfeng sat cross-legged.
In recent days, he has sold all the resources he obtained from the Mysterious Bone Relics through the Wonderful Sound Sect, and even the Spirit Sealing Pillars have been broken down into materials and sold.
In the end, the number of spirit stones in his hand barely returned to 70,000.
Seventy thousand spirit stones might be a huge sum for an ordinary person, but for Qingfeng, it was just a drop in the ocean.
"Yuan Yao and Yan Li are already Core Formation cultivators. To refine their natal magic treasures, we need a sum of spirit stones."
The cultivation technique they practice is the "Yin Yang Dragon Flood Dragon Sword Essence Technique." This technique is currently somewhat outdated and requires a significant amount of spirit stones to upgrade.
However, the "Mysterious Thunder Demon Flame Technique" that he mainly cultivates has a threshold, and Yuan Yao and Yan Li cannot cultivate it.
Unlike Wang Ning, whose physique is special and who can switch to cultivating demonic arts.
"The Yin-Yang Reincarnation Formula, 5000/year".
Qingfeng took out the Ghost Dao Technique Manual.
The advantage of this technique is that it can lead directly to the Nascent Soul realm, but the disadvantage is that one becomes half-human and half-ghost, and will never enter the cycle of reincarnation.
"The annual cost of 5000 for deductions is beyond my current means, not to mention the need for fusion and improvement of techniques after the deductions are completed..."
Qingfeng shook his head. He figured that if he threw 7 spirit stones at them, they wouldn't even make a ripple.
This forbidden technique of the Ghost Path costs at least a million spirit stones.
"Sigh, let's use this money to refine their natal magic weapons first."
Qingfeng sighed and put the "Yin Yang Reincarnation Technique" away again.
He then took out a scroll and unfolded it in front of him; it was a picture of the outer sea islands of the Chaotic Star Sea.
Silver Shark Island is a large island that is comparable in size to Tianxing City.
And Biling Island is located in the northern part of this large island…”
Qingfeng began to plan as he looked at the map of the island.
At that moment, there was a gentle knock on the door of the quiet room.
"Young master, my senior sister and I have something we would like to discuss with you."
Yuan Yao's voice came from outside the door.
"Come in."
Qingfeng put away the sea chart.
Yuan Yao and Yan Li entered side by side, both radiant with health, their auras becoming even more ethereal after achieving the Golden Core stage.
Yuan Yao held a jade slip in her hands, while Yan Li held an ancient wooden box.
"Young master, my senior sister and I have almost finished collecting the materials for our natal magic weapons."
However, we are still missing a few key auxiliary materials. Several major stores in the city are either out of stock or have ridiculously high prices.
We'd like to go to the market tomorrow and try our luck.
Yuan Yao handed over the jade slip.
Qingfeng accepted the materials from the two of them.
He planned to use the system to forge magical artifacts, and then have the two of them bind themselves to the system. This would save time and result in high-quality magical artifacts.
"Alright, I'll go with you tomorrow. I also need to find some materials for crafting weapons to make a little gadget."
Qingfeng said with a smile.
"Young Master, are you also going to refine magical artifacts?"
Yanli asked curiously.
"Hmm, I need to forge a... mining tool."
Qingfeng smiled, took out a drawn pattern from his pocket, and spread it on the table.
The two women took a closer look and immediately blushed.
The drawing on the blueprint depicted a strangely shaped, large-headed chisel.
"Young master, this is..."
Yuan Yao thought the young master was too playful, even going so far as to refine such a magical artifact...
Yanli thought so too; it was embarrassing that the young master was thinking about such things all day long.
"Hey? Why do you guys look like that?"
Qingfeng was a little confused; was his chisel really for mining?
It was designed specifically for mining deep mineral veins, so it wouldn't have any other uses.
