Chapter 245: Chapter 243: A Large Ship Arrives, Hustle and Bustle

[Unknown Storage Ring: Contains 1.23 million cubic meters of space. Made from Void Nether Stone, weighing 2,000 jin...]

"This Storage Ring is for you. It has over a million cubic meters of space inside, along with several hundred million Spirit Stones. Use them to buy me most of the Spiritual Ore available, especially Spirit Iron. If you accomplish this, you can stay on the island for an extra year."

"You’ll also get a Tier Three Spirit Fruit."

"In that case, I won’t be polite," Song Zhining said, accepting the Storage Ring. As he took it, he wasn’t paying close attention, and his hand suddenly dropped under the weight.

His eyes widened. "This Storage Ring is way too heavy!"

"But over a million cubic meters... that’s huge," Song Zhining murmured, completely forgetting about the fish.

Song Zhining stood up. "Alright, I’ll go right now."

"Here, take the Spirit Fruit first." Su Qing handed him a cyan-colored fruit.

[Cyan Wood Spirit Pattern Fruit: Increases the Cultivation Talent of a Wood Spirit Root by 15%. Contains Cyan Wood Spiritual Qi, which has the effect of purifying the body.]

"Thanks. I love missions where I get the reward upfront," Song Zhining said with a laugh.

After stowing the items away, Song Zhining said, "I’m off to find the Teleportation Array."

"Mm, go figure out how to use it yourself," Su Qing said with a nod.

’That Array Plate won’t be stolen,’ Su Qing thought. ’I already gave instructions to Xiao Si—my Four-direction Guardian Array Plate.’

’No one could possibly take it.’

After watching Song Zhining leave, Su Qing glanced at the fishing rod with its snapped line, then sat down in Song Zhining’s spot. He took out his own fishing rod from his Great World and began to fish.

’Now all I’m missing is the Spiritual Energy Converter. I wonder how long Song Zhining will take,’ Su Qing mused as he fished.

Gradually, dawn broke.

A rising mist appeared over the sea.

A large ship seemed to be approaching Su Qing’s island.

Su Qing didn’t even need to show himself; Tang Dan went out to negotiate.

「A while later.」

Tang Dan found Su Qing. "Young Master, the ship outside wishes to dock here for a day."

"They’ve also heard there’s Spirit Medicine on the island, and many of the Cultivators on board wish to purchase some."

"Hmm..."

"That’s fine." ’I really need a Pocket World,’ Su Qing thought. ’It’s a shame I don’t have one.’

’Right now, I have to harvest every batch of Spirit Medicine myself.’

’It’s too much trouble. I can’t keep doing this forever.’

For the sake of the island’s prosperity, Su Qing knew this was a necessary step.

"Tell those Cultivators that our island now has lodging available, especially in the direction of the inn."

"I expect they already know who owns this island. It will be very safe here, as long as they don’t cause any trouble."

"Yes, Young Master!" After speaking, Tang Dan flew off again to continue the negotiations.

The strongest person on that large ship was just a single Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator.

Su Qing had no desire to receive them personally.

There was no particular reason; with his power, if he didn’t feel like meeting someone, he simply wouldn’t.

He’d rather just relax and fish.

...

The island started to get crowded.

Just as Su Qing was about to leave, he noticed someone standing beside him.

Their aura was at the Golden Core Realm. While fishing, Su Qing had assumed they were just another person trying to get close to him with ulterior motives, so he hadn’t even bothered to look.

But when he finally turned his head, he saw a familiar face.

"Eh? Senior Sister?"

Su Qing hadn’t expected another member to arrive on the island.

Liu Linlin.

"Junior... no, Elder Su!" Liu Linlin had originally intended to call Su Qing ’Junior Brother’.

But she suddenly thought better of it and changed her address.

"There’s no need to be so formal, Senior Sister," Su Qing said, standing up and putting away his fishing rod.

"Come with me. My Master and Senior Aunt are staying on the island. I’m sure you’d be willing to stay as well," Su Qing said, leading the way.

He first led her to his residence.

He played host to his Senior Sister.

"Senior Sister, please have a seat."

"I’ll call for Master and Senior Aunt in a moment."

"There’s no need to get them!" Liu Linlin didn’t want to disturb her Master and Senior Aunt.

Su Qing paused, then smiled. "They aren’t in seclusion. They’re just doing their normal Cultivation."

Luo Xingya brewed tea, pouring cups for Su Qing and Liu Linlin.

It was Enlightenment Tea; after all, it was the only thing presentable enough for the occasion.

Luo Xingya then brought out a plate of pastries—Colorful Tea Cakes.

"Where is our Junior Sister? I remember you were both together when I last saw you," Su Qing said.

"You were too careless last time, Junior Brother. Both of us could tell it was you," Liu Linlin said, launching into the topic.

"At the time, I wanted to go up and confirm it was you, but I didn’t dare."

Su Qing laughed. "Back then, your Junior Brother’s wings had not yet fully grown."

"Of course I had to hide."

"But now, the Hidden Dragon has ascended to the heavens, soaring freely," Liu Linlin remarked.

After chatting with Liu Linlin for a while, Su Qing took her to find a place to live, finally settling on a residence next to You Yanhan’s.

Su Qing also took the opportunity to inform his Master and Senior Aunt that Liu Linlin had arrived on the island.

...

...

「Nightfall.」

Qingsu Island had become much livelier, and as a result, the Spiritual Qi was being consumed much faster.

...

Fortunately, Su Qing wasn’t concerned about the Spiritual Qi consumption.

"Young Master, many people came to the island today."

"I traded for many kinds of Magic with them!" Luo Xingya reported, looking particularly pleased with herself.

"That Magic is not important for you right now."

"Focus on your Cultivation Technique. Once you reach Perfection, you will understand just how powerful the technique I gave you is."

"Concentrate on your Cultivation Technique!" Su Qing insisted.

Luo Xingya’s spirits fell upon hearing this. It was clear Su Qing didn’t support her acquiring that Magic.

But Su Qing knew that achieving Technique Perfection would awaken a special constitution within her.

"Just focus on cultivating the technique to Perfection. After that, I won’t care what kind of Magic you practice," Su Qing said helplessly.

’My powers of observation aren’t that poor,’ he thought. ’Since the Maid has her own ideas, then let her think them and act on them.’

Seeing this, Su Qing didn’t say anything more. ’Everyone in this world has different experiences, so how could their feelings be the same?’

’If I’d had such good fortune back then—a special constitution and great destiny—I wouldn’t have been reborn in some rundown village.’

’If the little Maid doesn’t cherish this, I won’t give her too many more opportunities.’

"Yes, Young Master." The little Maid remained obediently compliant.

...

「Two days later.」

「Inside the shop.」

"Here you are, customer. Your Spirit Medicine." Tang Dan handed the Spirit Medicine to the customer according to the list.

This Spirit Medicine was all low-level. With a single use of an Immortal Technique, Su Qing could upgrade their quality almost instantly.

It wasn’t difficult to cultivate them; he just had to use the Immortal Technique on a large batch of Spirit Medicine.

The black-robed Foundation Establishment Cultivator was stunned. This was over a hundred Tier Two Spirit Medicines.

He had actually gotten them all at once.

The problem was, he didn’t have enough Spirit Stones. It was all because Tang Dan had said, "If you want Spirit Medicine, we can make a deal, no matter how much you want."

So, he had requested over a hundred Tier Two Spirit Medicines and more than thirty Tier Three Spirit Medicines in one go.

And now they were all in his Storage Ring.

He stared at the Storage Ring and gulped.

In this situation, he couldn’t bring himself to return the Spirit Medicine—he would lose face, and besides, he didn’t want to give them up.

"Customer, are you done checking? Please hand over the Spirit Stones. There are others waiting," Tang Dan prompted.

"Yeah, hurry it up, Foundation Establishment brat. I’m waiting," someone behind him grumbled.

The person behind him was a Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator, who, because of Tang Dan’s words, didn’t dare to cut the line.

Suddenly, the black-robed figure blurred, attempting to dash out of the shop and fly away.

The protective Array didn’t even have time to activate.

Before he could, he was seized by the Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator. "You little brat, trying to run from a Nascent Soul Cultivator!"

"Get back here!"

Tang Dan was also stunned. This was the first time he had ever seen a Cultivator try to skip out on a payment on his Young Master’s island.

"My thanks. When you pay with your Spirit Stones later, I can give you a one percent discount."
