Chapter 1228: Chapter 1228: Thank You, Master
Luo Tuo was killed, and Zhong Ling was elected as the new Island Master of Luoyue Island, which could be seen as her inheriting her father Zhong Fei’s legacy.
With the assistance of Gao Xue and others, ordinary cultivators didn’t dare to cause trouble, and Zhong Ling implented various asures from when Zhong Fei was the Island Master, attracting many original residents to return, gradually making the island prosperous.
Chen Nan, hiding his capabilities and na, lived in the Island Master Mansion, cultivating "Dragon Elephant Form" while slowly wearing down the power of laws within him, a process destined to take a long ti.
Though his cultivation was much higher than when he first wandered into the Heavenly Border, this ti he was genuinely hunted down by a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator. If not for his strong body, he would have long been dead.
Hence, there was even more residual power of laws inside him, and relying on himself to wear it all down would take at least two to three years.
This amount of ti isn’t much for cultivators; sotis one seclusion can take this long. But for Chen Nan, it already feels like a long ti.
After all, it only took him three years to cultivate from the Foundation Establishnt Realm to now.
However, in the Endless Sea, he didn’t know any Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, so asking for help made him uneasy. Even though Luoyue Island was millions of miles away from the Nine Provinces Continent, he didn’t dare to relax his vigilance.
A month had passed in the blink of an eye, and Chen Nan had consud all the Demon Spirit Pills he accumulated before, and the cultivation of "Dragon Elephant Form" was near perfect.
At this point, a casual punch from him would carry a force of a hundred thousand pounds, easily shattering a mountain.
"Sigh, it’s ti to go out and get so fresh air, hunt so demon beasts to cultivate, and inquire if I can ask a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator to help clear the power of laws for ."
Chen Nan murmured to himself, establishing his short-term goal, and then walked out of his cultivation room. Unexpectedly, just as he exited the courtyard, he saw Zhong Ling, this little girl.
Since Zhong Ling beca the Island Master, she had many things to handle every day. Even with Gao Xue and others helping, she was still extrely busy. The once timid little girl gradually beca steady and calm.
Zhong Ling, with her head down, seed to be deep in thought, wandering outside the courtyard where Chen Nan lived, so lost in thought that even Chen Nan approaching went unnoticed.
"Ling’er, what are you doing?"
Zhong Ling was startled by the sudden voice, her body shivering. Seeing it was Chen Nan, she then acted spoiled: "Oh Master, you scared
to death."
Chen Nan chuckled: "Is this little girl here to find
for sothing? Are you running out of elixir pills? No, you haven’t been cultivating properly, have you?"
After carefully observing Zhong Ling’s cultivation, he found it was still at the Third Layer Middle Stage of the Foundation Establishnt Realm, no different from a month ago, causing Chen Nan to imdiately put on a stern face.
After all, she was his first disciple, and as her master, he had to urge her a bit.
Zhong Ling, sowhat embarrassed, lowered her head, her small hands fidgeting: "Master, recently there have been many things to handle on the island, so I didn’t cultivate properly. Ling’er knows she’s wrong."
"But now there’s nothing much on the island, and Ling’er will certainly cultivate well and not embarrass Master!"
Chen Nan had not a single doubt about his promising disciple’s future. Cultivating his version of the "Scripture of the Hidden Talisman" along with the "Devouring Spirit Technique," achieving Five Elents Spirit Root and reaching Nascent Soul wouldn’t be hard in the future.
"Good, I believe you, but make sure to cultivate well. Co to
whenever you have no tasks; Master is best at dical skills and will teach you that as well."
"Great, thank you, Master!" Zhong Ling sweetly smiled.
"By the way, Ling’er, did you need sothing from ?"
"Oh, I just wanted to invite Master out for a walk. I was afraid you’d get bored staying alone," Zhong Ling said, being very considerate.
Although he wanted to go out and hunt sea beasts, he couldn’t refuse his disciple’s invitation, so he agreed, and the two promptly left the Island Master Mansion.
Chen Nan, who hadn’t left for a month, was surprised when he did; the changes on Luoyue Island were like night and day compared to a month ago.
The buildings on the island had been repaired, stretching out in rows, centered around the City Lord Mansion, intersecting like a spiderweb. The marketplace was bustling, residential areas peaceful, and the streets were crowded with people, more lively than before.
Moreover, here, mortals and cultivators were alike. Without using divine sense to probe, it was hard to tell who was mortal and who was a cultivator.
On the Nine Provinces Continent, cultivators were sowhat aloof, with sects always separating themselves from mortal areas. Even cultivation families deeply involved in the mortal world stood above the mortals.
By comparison, Chen Nan preferred the atmosphere on this side of the Endless Sea.
"Master, how is it? Although it’s not as prosperous as when my father was in charge, it’s much better than before, right?" Zhong Ling suddenly asked.
Chen Nan was montarily surprised, then chuckled to himself, finally understanding why Zhong Ling wanted him to co out; she wanted to be praised.
One has to say, Luoyue Island was governed well, and the Island Master truly labored diligently.
"Yes, it’s already very good. I believe you can do even better."
Zhong Ling, who was praised, seed like a child who had gotten candy, her happiness fully reflected on her face, pulling Chen Nan to explore more places.
They arrived at the market, walking while Zhong Ling continued introducing things to Chen Nan. Suddenly, passing a stall, Chen Nan stopped, his gaze falling on the stall’s goods.
"What are those?"
The stall displayed so strangely shaped bones, with a layer of demon qi surrounding them, obviously bones taken from sea beasts.
Beside the bones, one could even see the demon cores from within the demonic beasts, which only Golden Core Realm demon beasts could have.
"Does Master not know? Those are spiritual materials from sea beasts; they can be used in artifact refining, alchemy, and talisman drawing..."
Zhong Ling began explaining, but Chen Nan interrupted her: "Wait, alchemy?"
"Yes, doesn’t Master know? Oh, that’s right, Master must be from the continent, right?" Zhong Ling slapped her forehead, realizing.
When they first t, she noticed her Master seed unfamiliar with the Endless Sea, and she had this thought but never confird it.
Now she finally understood Chen Nan’s background.
"Yes, I’m from the continent. In the Nine Provinces, materials from demon beasts are barely used for artifact refining, but alchemy is sothing I’ve never heard of," Chen Nan didn’t hide.
Zhong Ling, being a native cultivator of the Endless Sea, began explaining to Chen Nan.
It turns out the Endless Sea, though vast, its islands couldn’t compare to the expansive mainland, so the spiritual dicine resources at sea were far less than on the continent. The most abundant resources at sea were sea beasts instead.
But sea cultivators also needed elixir pills, so they had to find another way to fully utilize materials from sea beasts.
