Chapter 369: Chapter 245: Reconstructing the Dao Field, the Xu Family’s Battle Results

Before leaving Floating Immortal City, Lin Changheng sent letters to Tantai Feiyue, Mo Zhaoli, the Xu Family, Fugui, Deng Changsheng, and the Huang Family.

He informed them that he had moved out of the Immortal City and included the address of his new Dao Field.

From now on, anyone looking for him or sending letters would have to direct them to the new location.

...

「Seven days later.」

A Dharma Ship came whistling from the horizon, arriving over a lake shaped like a jade belt.

The water’s surface sparkled, exceptionally beautiful under the sunlight.

"Brother Lin, is this Jade Belt Lake?"

Yan Mingyi’s beautiful eyes flashed as she stood on the Dharma Ship, craning her neck to look down with a curious expression. ℯℯ𝘭.

"That’s right."

Lin Changheng nodded, his gaze sweeping over the ownerless island. His voice was calm, yet carried a hint of imperceptible satisfaction. "This is where our Dao Field will be."

He controlled the Dharma Ship, slowly descending to allow Yan Mingyi a clearer view of the beautiful scenery below.

The vast, jade-green surface of the lake was like a giant piece of emerald. The ring-shaped "jade belt" waterway gently encircled three verdant islands. On the islands, lush forests were dotted with pavilions, creating a picturesque scene that complemented the lake and mountains, like a scroll from a celestial realm.

"Wow! It’s truly beautiful!" Yan Mingyi couldn’t help but exclaim in amazement, her pretty face filled with delight. "The Spiritual Qi here is so pleasant, too. The lake is rich with Water Spirit. Brother Lin, you have excellent taste."

Yan Mingyi was being completely sincere. She loved everything about Jade Belt Lake, from its scenery and vastness to its comfortable atmosphere.

"Brother Lin, what’s our island called?"

"Moonrest. Moonrest Island."

With that, he steered the Dharma Ship straight toward the ownerless island among the three—the one he had ultimately chosen for his Dao Field.

As the Dharma Ship drew closer, the details of the island became clearer.

The ruins of a large hall in the center, a lake within the island, Spirit Fields on the shallows...

All of it came into view.

"We might have to work a little hard for the next few months. There’s a lot of construction and preparation to be done."

Lin Changheng was preparing his excited concubine for what was to come.

Yan Mingyi, however, stuck out her tongue and smiled. "Could it be that Brother Lin has forgotten that I am an Upper Grade Puppet Master?"

"Hm?"

Lin Changheng raised an eyebrow, a doting smile on his face as he looked at Yan Mingyi, whose Cyan Silk hair still flew in the wind, making her look like a young maiden.

"While I was waiting, I refined quite a few Tier One Middle Grade Human-shaped Puppets. They’ll be perfect for the manual labor."

Yan Mingyi wore a self-satisfied expression, looking as if she had planned for this all along.

It was obvious that ever since she had learned they would be moving, she had been eagerly planning and looking forward to it.

"Mingyi is so thoughtful. You truly have the air of the mistress of this place."

Lin Changheng reached out and ruffled her hair, praising her.

"Brother Lin, don’t tease me..."

Hearing the last part of his sentence, Yan Mingyi let out a soft "Ah!" But her slightly trembling shoulders and fidgeting fingers, which twisted the hem of her clothes, betrayed the surging emotions and... sweetness in her heart.

The corners of her mouth curled up uncontrollably.

Lin Changheng hadn’t been speaking empty words. Although he had other women, Yan Mingyi was the only one who was always by his side, taking care of him, managing his Dao Field, and busying herself with his affairs.

Her Spirit Root Talent was not bad, and she possessed Upper Grade Skills. She could have lived a very independent and self-reliant life, yet she had chosen this path.

Therefore, Lin Changheng would never treat her poorly.

Under these circumstances, she was indeed the only mistress of this place.

The area was deserted, with only the faint sound of the gentle breeze blowing across the lake’s surface and the slightly ambiguous, heart-stirring silence between the two of them.

Seeing her girlish demeanor, Lin Changheng’s heart softened further, and a smile bloomed from the depths of his eyes.

He took a step forward and gently took her hand, which was twisting the hem of her clothes, from behind. "How could I be teasing you?" he said warmly. "I sincerely feel that way, Mingyi. You’re so considerate. I’m sure you’ll manage this place perfectly in the future."

"Mhm!"

...

「In the time that followed.」

The first thing Lin Changheng did was set up three arrays around Moonrest Island.

The first was a Tier Two Lower Grade Array, the [Flowing Clouds Covering Moon Formation]!

He had seized it from his next-door neighbor, Sound Master Cui, and had been using it ever since.

He set up the Array on the inner layer. With a HUM, a thin layer of pale, rosy mist rose from the outside, forming a semicircular shield of light that enveloped the entire island.

It could shield the island from prying eyes.

...

The second was a Tier Two Middle Grade Array, the [Jade Wave Sea Curtain Array], on the outer layer.

Lin Changheng had specifically purchased it in the Immortal City for Defense.

This Array relied on the abundant Water Spirit Qi of Jade Belt Lake. The Array Flags and Array Plate were driven deep into the lakebed surrounding the island.

When the Array was activated, it didn’t immediately appear above the island. Instead, there was a great SPLASH from the lake!

The water surrounding Moonrest Island seemed to be stirred by a giant, invisible hand, and it suddenly began to boil.

Countless streams of water shot into the sky. Instead of scattering, they quickly coalesced outside the island, beyond the light shield of the [Flowing Clouds Covering Moon Formation], forming an incredibly thick, constantly flowing and rotating azure Water Curtain!

This Water Curtain was nearly ten feet thick, powered entirely by pure Water Spirit Qi. It acted like a flowing moat, guarding the island tightly within.

When ordinary Magic attacks struck it, their force would be weakened layer by layer by the flowing Water Curtain and dispersed, making it difficult to shake its foundation.

The reason Lin Changheng had chosen this Array was because it was perfectly suited for this location.

First, its endurance was endless, as it could draw upon the local Water Spirit Power. Second, the continuous water curtain could weaken incoming attacks by thirty percent!

...

The third was also a Tier Two Middle Grade Array, the [Thick Earth Carrying Object Formation]!

This Array did not cover the entire island but was deeply branded into the island’s Earth Veins.
