In the vast sky,
A falcon with wide pale blue wings flapped, maintaining its shape amidst the raging winds.
Lu Xuan stood on its back, overlooking below.
Islands dotted the sea, large and small, extending endlessly with the sea under the golden sunlight, exuding a majestic beauty.
"We've finally arrived at the Empty Abyss Island."
Lu Xuan muttered to himself as he looked down at a large island situated at the forefront of the archipelago.
After leaving Linyang Fang Market, he did not go anywhere else. Following the route designated by the sect, he arrived near the Empty Abyss Island after two days.
He put away the falcon and slowly landed on the Empty Abyss Island.
The Empty Abyss Island stretched for hundreds of miles, with rugged and bizarre rocks on the island. Only in the central area of the island lived many cultivators and mortals.
Lu Xuan walked on the bluestone streets.
From ti to ti, sea breeze blew, carrying a faint salty sll.
There were many cultivators on the street, mostly in the Qi refining stage. Occasionally, he saw one or two Qi refining mid-stage cultivators, but he didn't see any high-level ones.
The cultivators on the island were noticeably different from those in Linyang Fang Market, dressed ruggedly and wild, their skin exposed to the sun dark and shiny.
There were many stalls on both sides of the street, with unique goods on them.
"Friend, co and take a look. We have a large amount of silver seaweed, freshly picked from the nearby sea, only three spirit stones per pound."
A young man next to him saw Lu Xuan looking at the items on his stall and warmly greeted him.
On his stall, there was a large pile of silver seaweed, still moist with a damp atmosphere, resembling a large mass of wet silver hair.
"What is this silver seaweed used for?"
Lu Xuan picked up a handful of silver seaweed and asked curiously.
"After drying and crushing, it can be used as a refining material for many elixirs."
"I see, but I don't really need it at the mont."
Lu Xuan politely declined and continued to stroll down the street.
Not only were there spiritual plants, but the materials of the demon beasts, artifacts, and talismans on the stalls were also unique.
Many demon beast materials obviously ca from the sea, with various shapes of sea fish, turtles, and sea creatures, almost all containing rich water spiritual power.
Artifacts and talismans were also closely related to the sea. Lu Xuan saw many water-type artifacts and talismans.
"Huh?"
While strolling around, Lu Xuan suddenly stopped and stood in front of a stall.
On the stall, there were two sea beasts on the verge of death.
The sea beasts had a strange appearance, with the lower half resembling sea fish, covered with dense dark green scales and short fins.
What surprised Lu Xuan slightly was that the upper half of the sea beasts was sowhat similar to humans.
With erald green pupils, a flat nose, and many sharp teeth protruding from the lips, there was occasional drool dripping onto the ground, emitting a foul sll.
Although they looked fierce, their facial features had obvious human traces.
"May I ask, friend, what is the origin of these sea beasts?"
The stall owner was a burly man with a long scar on his face like a centipede, revealing a fierce look.
"Friend, these are rfolk, living in the deep sea. These two were obtained by and my companions at great cost. They can be used for taming or directly obtaining various materials from them."
The burly man covertly probed Lu Xuan's aura, as if sinking deep into a vortex, knowing that he had encountered a tough nut to crack. The scar on his face involuntarily twitched a few tis, and he smiled and said.
"rfolk... Why do they resemble humans to so extent?"
Lu Xuan restrained the impulse to try to feed the rfolk and continued to ask.
"It is said that there are rbeasts in the deep sea, luring cultivators into traps, forcibly mating with them, and finally giving birth to such creatures that are neither human nor beast."
The stall owner pondered for a mont and explained to Lu Xuan.
"Inter-species mating? Breaking reproductive isolation?" Lu Xuan thought subconsciously.
"What offspring will be born when different species and bloodlines of demon beasts mate with each other?"
He seed to have discovered a new breeding direction. When cultivating spiritual plants, there are thods to induce changes in the species by changing the growth environnt of the spiritual plants.
And if you want to change the bloodline of spiritual beasts, you can consider hybridizing them.
Lu Xuan secretly thought, determined that he might experint if he had the chance.
The possibility of offspring from mating different bloodline demon beasts is almost zero, and there are many dangers in the process. However, Lu Xuan can grasp the detailed status of spiritual beasts at any ti and make corresponding adjustnts at any ti, greatly improving the success rate.
He continued to stroll on the street and ca to the central area of the Empty Abyss Island.
"Tell the island owner that soone from the Sky Sword Sect has arrived."
In front of a magnificent building, Lu Xuan said to a gatekeeper cultivator.
"Sky Sword Sect? Yes, yes, yes! I'll go right away!"
The gatekeeper cultivator was first stunned, then imdiately reacted, and hurriedly entered the building.
Soon, there was a sound of chaos inside the building, and imdiately, a large group of cultivators rushed out.
"I don't know how to welco you, please forgive for being far away, senior!"
The leader was a refined cultivator with slightly pale cheeks, with a cultivation base at the mid Qi refining stage. Seeing Lu Xuan and sensing the spiritual power fluctuations of his Foundation Establishnt realm, he believed it to be true and bowed deeply in greeting.
More than a dozen or twenty people behind him also bowed respectfully.
"Is the visitor the island owner of the Empty Abyss Island, Song Yu?" Before coming over, Lu Xuan had learned so information about the Empty Abyss Island. He knew that the Empty Abyss Island was managed by a small family surnad Song, and the island owner was nad Song Yu.
"It is I, may I ask how the senior is called?"
Song Yu stole a glance at Lu Xuan, saw the unique identity token of the Sky Sword Sect's inner disciple he took out, and asked solemnly.
"I am Lu Xuan. However, I heard that your Song family has so connection with the Sky Sword Sect. You can call Senior Uncle, there's no need to make it so formal."
"Yes! Senior Uncle Lu, please co in."
The refined cultivator welcod Lu Xuan into the magnificent building.
Similar to the Song family, there are many small families established by outer disciples of the Sky Sword Sect.
Many outer disciples had no hope of breaking through and failed repeatedly in their attempts to advance to the Foundation Establishnt stage, so they left the sect and established their own families outside, expanding their branches and leaves.
Therefore, the families established like the Song family have close ties with the sect, depending on the sect for support, guarding certain areas for the sect, and providing various resources for alchemy, refining, and cultivation in exchange.
When Lu Xuan was still in the Qi refining stage, he once solved a pest problem, and that small family was in such a situation.
The Song family was the sa, but its influence was much larger.
"During this handover period, how is the situation on the island? Have there been any major accidents with the Empty Abyss Spirit Fish?"
Walking in the front, Lu Xuan asked Song Yu, who was behind him in terms of status.
"Everything is normal. The senior uncle who was here before made careful arrangents before leaving. During this period, although there was no senior uncle in the Foundation Establishnt stage sitting in town, the island has been quite stable."
"In the area near the Empty Abyss Spirit Fish, there were two waves of small sea beasts appearing for poaching, but they were all repelled by us, and not a single one was stolen."
Song Yu lowered his head and respectfully replied.
