Chapter Eighty-Six: Laying Out the Cave Mansion
Zhao Di, who was cautious along the way, flew in mid-air for more than ten days, passing by more than ten islands. He found that, as Xiao Ye had, all the small islands with spiritual veins had villages or towns inhabited by mortals, while the islands without spiritual veins, no matter the size and terrain, were uninhabited desert islands.
According to Xiao Ye, this is because the bad weather in the Sea of Stars is very changeable, and there will be hurricanes and tsunamis hitting various islands at every turn, and if there is no formation protection set up by immortal cultivators, it will be difficult for mortals to survive. And the immortal cultivators have no interest in those islands that have no spiritual veins. Therefore, those small islands that do not have spiritual veins, even if they are rich in resources such as farmland and fruit groves, will not be inhabited.
Unlike in the Golden Flame Country, where the mortal world and the world of immortal cultivators are completely separate and completely independent, in the sea of stars, mortals rely on immortal cultivators to survive. Those mortals who live on the island and are protected by the Immortal Cultivator's Formation also have to complete some prescribed errands or pay a certain amount of spirit stones before they can continue to stay on the island. For the mortals of the Sea of Stars, immortal cultivators are all living immortals who can be seen and touched, with vast magical powers and high above.
Zhao Di became the lord of an island on Luojia Island, and he inevitably had to deal with the mortals of this island.
Therefore, after flying for half a month and coming to Luojia Island, Zhao Di did not go directly to Luojia Mountain to arrange the cave, but flew to the sky above the only small town on the island, and said to a group of mortals looking up below: "I am the new owner of this island, who is the mayor of the island, please come and see me quickly." The sound was not loud, but it was clear in everyone's ears.
Immediately, a few people ran quickly to inform the mayor, and the rest of them stood silently, neither daring to move around, nor daring to sit down and ignore them, but occasionally secretly glanced up at the immortal master, and did not dare to look again. There were a few children, staring at Zhao Di in mid-air without blinking, revealing a look of obsession and envy. The adults around the child hurriedly pulled the child aside, fearing that the child would do something inappropriate and annoy the immortal master.
There are also a few bold ones, who glanced at Zhao Di a few more times, hoping to see from the top to see what kind of character this great immortal who will affect the lives of generations or even generations on the island in the future. It's a pity that this immortal master's face has always been free of anger, joy, sorrow and resentment, and he can't see any expression. If they looked at it for a long time, the immortal master would look back with a cold gaze, and these people would be so frightened that they quickly lowered their heads and didn't dare to look more.
The originally lively street, because of this immortal master who fell from the sky, suddenly became quiet and abnormal.
About half an hour later, seven or eight people rushed here, the first one was a slightly chubby middle-aged man, in his forties. Because he ran all the way, his face was red and sweating profusely at this time, and after running not far in front of Zhao Di, he bent down and saluted, panting and said: "The villain Zhang Mo is the current mayor of this town. Master Lao Xianshi has been waiting for a long time, and I ask Lord Xianshi for forgiveness. I don't know what the immortal master commands!"
Zhao Di showed a token, slowly flew it to the middle-aged man, and said, "You raise your head, can you recognize this thing?"
The middle-aged man got up and looked up according to his words, saw the token in front of him, and said: "This thing is a token of the owner of the island, and the immortal master is the trusted owner of the island, and the villain will see the owner of the island!" After speaking, the middle-aged man knelt down at Zhao Di. When the rest of the people saw this, they also knelt down and bowed down.
Zhao Di's brows condensed slightly, he was not used to this kind of scene, and said lightly: "Get up, there is no need to be polite!" Zhang Mo, how many spirit stones do you need to consume in a year for the island protection formation?"
"If you go back to the island master, according to past experience, it is generally around twenty spirit stones. There are not many mortals on this island, only 150,000 people, and they can only gather a maximum of ten spirit stones a year. The middle-aged man said this, and he couldn't help but be a little frightened. If this Immortal Master is dissatisfied with the number of spirit stones they have handed over and doubles it, then they will have a hard time in the future.
For immortal cultivators, what mortals can do is extremely limited, nothing more than serving low-level immortal cultivators, doing some hard work, and the spirit stones they can earn are really pitiful.
150,000 mortals, including women, children, and children, it is not easy to earn ten low-level spirit stones a year.
"No need! here are five years of spirit stones, and every five years in the future, you come to Luojia Mountain to find me to get a spirit stone. For the rest of the time, no mortal is allowed to step into Luojia Mountain!" Zhao Di threw down a bunch of low-grade spirit stones of various colors, landed in front of the middle-aged man, and then left suddenly, and when he said the last few words, he only heard his voice and disappeared.
"Thank you island master, the villain obeys!" Although he couldn't see where Zhao Di was, the middle-aged man still bowed respectfully in the direction where Zhao Di left.
The same was true of the other mortals present, although they didn't see Zhao Di's figure, they were still extremely quiet and didn't dare to come out.
After a cup of tea, the Immortal Master Island Master never appeared again, and everyone immediately boiled!
"Lao Zhang, what did you say! I heard you right, this Immortal Master Island Master didn't even want us to offer a single spirit stone, and he gave us a hundred spirit stones in one go!"
"Yes, the heavens have eyes, such a good thing is finally our turn on Luojia Island! The people of other islands will definitely die of redness!"
"According to me, although the island owner said that we don't need to worship the spirit stone, let's take out some of it, don't know what to do and anger the island owner. ”
"I don't think so, it's better to accumulate this spirit stone, who knows when the owner of the island will change his mind, and when he will change the owner of the island?
"Lao Zhang is right, let's make long-term plans!"
......
At this time, Zhao Di had already flown to Luojia Mountain and began to look for the spring of the spiritual eye.
Although the big man had already told him the exact location, it took some effort to finally find it in a small cave!
This spiritual eye spring is really small and pitiful, only two or three zhang wide and narrow, and the aura is also very average, but in the place closest to the spring, it is barely the density of the aura of the high-grade spiritual vein.
As for the fire house where the fire of the lungs could be collected, it was in the ground of another nearby mountain.
Zhao Di thought about it for a while, and then he had an idea.
It took him half a day before he laid out the six rounds of the Absolute Spirit Array, covering most of Luojia Mountain. After these six rounds of the Absolute Spirit Array were activated, it was really mysterious and abnormal, at least with Zhao Di's divine sense, outside of a thousand zhang, he couldn't find any abnormalities in the mountain peaks at all, and it didn't look any different from ordinary mountain ranges, but in fact, the scene he saw was quite different from the real appearance of the mountain peaks. This kind of half-truth illusion formation is very difficult to see. In this way, the fluctuations in the spiritual power caused by Zhao Di in the cave mansion were all covered by the formation, and they would not cause any anomalies.
Although Zhao Di had mastered several extremely simple small formations when refining weapons, they could not be compared with this forbidden large formation at all! Zhao Di, who did not understand this at all, could only meticulously follow the requirements of the formation, burying every array flag and every array plate in the designated place, and did not dare to miss it by the slightest. Because once there is a slight difference, the entire formation will reveal obvious flaws.
The Heaven Covered Polar Array covered a limited area, and Zhao Di was arranged around the two small peaks where the Spirit Eye Spring and the Earth Fire House were located.
These two sets of magic arrays were both inspired by mid-level spirit stones, and it cost him seven or eight middle-level spirit stones at once, and it was inevitable that he would feel distressed when he was replaced by other early-stage foundation building cultivators.
After arranging the magic circle, Zhao Di took this spiritual eye spring and the earth fire room as the core to arrange his own cave mansion.
First of all, he sacrificed four or five pieces of Gongbu swords and other high-grade sword weapons, and constantly chopped the mountain stones, digging out a passage from the Spring of the Spirit Eye to the Earth Fire Room. He blocked the original exit of the Earth Fire Room, and instead opened a very hidden entrance and exit at the Spirit Eye Spring and the passage of the Earth Fire Room, both of which were within the protection range of the Heavenly Cover Polar Array.
Then he opened up the cave where the Spring of the Spirit Eye was located into a cave, with seven or eight stone houses more than ten zhang wide and narrow, and installed large and small moonstones on the walls and roofs of the stone houses, and the whole cave was brightened up all of a sudden. As for tables, chairs, bedboards and other utensils, he had already bought some in the market. Once the stone houses are opened, they are taken out of the storage bags and placed in the stone houses.
