Wizards in the world of cultivation

Chapter 52 Tracking
After all, leasing for such a long period at once, and specifically on a separate basis, indicates either a family power or a sect power.

"I'm just a lone cultivator, renting a spirit island for peace and quiet," Su You said casually.

With Su You's current strength, he's not afraid of others probing him, and once the relocation is complete, there won't be many people on the island.

Once the Wizard Tower is completed, Su You will focus his main energy on cultivation and research, and will not be distracted by things like building a faction for the time being.

"Now that I have rented the Spirit Island, I will not stay any longer. I will definitely inform Fellow Daoist Qin to come when it is time to move." Su You said and then left.

Qin Kaihou narrowed his eyes, watching Su You's departing figure, and murmured softly, "An ordinary rogue cultivator? I don't believe an ordinary rogue cultivator has the guts to rent a spirit island that's been around for a hundred years."

Thinking of the maid who had left earlier, Qin Kaihou snorted coldly, "She was probably there to tip people off again. I wonder if it was the Wang family or the Qi family? Sooner or later, the reputation of the Mingkong Islands will be ruined by these people."

However, when he thought back to the feeling that made his heart pound when he first met Su You, he couldn't help but smile. "I hope I can teach them a lesson so they won't be so reckless."

Su You's strength is definitely not as simple as it seems. Although the cultivation technique he practices does not have many abilities, he is extremely sensitive to danger. Over the past few hundred years, he has saved himself from danger dozens of times by relying on this sensitivity.

After thinking about Qin Kaihou, he sent some information to Su You, which was a good opportunity to do him a favor.

However, this is only a temporary solution and not a permanent cure.

Because the island lord of Aurora Island has not emerged from seclusion for decades, it has even sparked many rumors, which has led to the unbridled behavior of several major Golden Core families.

"Miss, I wonder when you will be able to leave the seclusion? Is it really as the rumors say, that you are suffering from a strange poison and unable to go out?" Qin Kaihou was filled with sorrow.

……

Holding the jade token, Su You felt a surge of excitement. His future business empire would begin on Luoxia Island.

However, thinking about the price of renting the Spirit Island, Su You couldn't help but sigh, "Indeed, no matter which world you're in, real estate is the most profitable industry."

When he chose the spirit island, he saw that there were still dozens of islands idle, not including those that had already been leased out. These were only second-tier spirit islands; there were many more first-tier spirit islands.

Just by renting out the Spirit Island, they could probably earn a lot of spirit stones every year.

Su You had thought his net worth of five million spirit stones was already quite high, but compared to this, it was indeed far from enough. After all, it was too easy to earn spirit stones if you controlled a force.

However, as soon as he left Lingdao Pavilion, Su You keenly sensed a malicious intent. Even while he was in Lingdao Pavilion, he noticed a maid eavesdropping on his conversation with Qin Kaihou.

He extended his divine sense slightly and saw that not far from the Spirit Island Pavilion, a cultivator in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment and a cultivator in the late stage of Foundation Establishment were pretending to stroll around while keeping a close eye on his movements.

"Is this Lingdao Pavilion a shady business? The Mingkong Alliance isn't as good as I thought. The information from Tianji Pavilion is indeed unreliable..." Su You silently complained in his heart, but did not stop. Instead, he continued on his way as if nothing had happened.

He wanted to see who was plotting against him behind his back.

Is it Qin Kaihou? This person has a rather otherworldly appearance, but in reality, he is cunning and treacherous. It is very likely that he was sent by him.

However, the maid was eavesdropping behind them, so it didn't seem like they were in cahoots.

Just after leaving Aurora Immortal City, Su You received a message from Qin Kaihou via a jade talisman.

"Tell me to be careful on my journey?" Su You read the message calmly, a hint of doubt in his mind. "Is this a deliberate diversion, or a genuine warning?" If it was a genuine warning, then that would be interesting.

As the manager of Lingdao Pavilion, Qin Kaihou was obviously aware of this matter, but he couldn't do anything about it. It was clear that something had happened within Lingdao Pavilion or that a problem had occurred on Aurora Island.

After all, Qin Kaihou was able to manage the most lucrative position at Lingdao Pavilion at the time, so he must have had a powerful backer, who was undoubtedly the Nascent Soul Ancestor of Aurora Island.

……

Su You flew slowly, piloting a low-grade spiritual weapon, his mental energy constantly monitoring the situation behind him to prevent his opponent from falling behind.

After getting some distance away from Aurora Island and confirming that there were no other cultivators around, Su You sighed, "It's true that money can move people's hearts. It's no wonder that some people are envious of a rogue cultivator in the early stage of Foundation Establishment who spends 100,000 spirit stones to rent a spirit island."

However, since he dares to expose his wealth now, he must have some backing.

Even without the Wizard Tower being built, he is confident enough to face a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator. Moreover, once the Wizard Tower is completed, no Golden Core expert will pose a threat to him.

Su You suddenly turned around, his entire body transforming into a streak of azure sword light, arriving near the two people, and said lightly, "You two have been with me for a long time, why bother hiding anymore?"

"We've been discovered!" Qi Yuan and Qi Chang paused slightly, their faces showing surprise.

They followed so far behind, yet they were still discovered. However, they had great composure and did not sacrifice themselves.

They only appeared in disbelief when Su You used his Golden Blade Technique to smash their hiding place.

"He was able to spot us from this far away, Brother Chang. This guy seems a bit unusual. We need to be careful," Qi Yuan whispered.

"He's just a Foundation Establishment cultivator. Even if he hides his cultivation, as long as he's not a Golden Core cultivator, how could he escape our grasp?" Qi Chang said indifferently. "I suspect that the reason he was able to discover us was because of that old scoundrel Qin Kaihou who relayed the information."

"If that's the case, then we need to be even more careful. Knowing that we're following him, he still dares to expose himself so openly; he must have something to hide," Qi Yuan analyzed.

Upon hearing Qi Yuan's words, Qi Chang became slightly more serious. He wasn't stupid; he just didn't like to think.

"Fellow Daoist, you've misunderstood. We just happened to be resting down there. How could we be following you?" Qi Yuan cupped his hands and said with a smile.

The moment he finished speaking, two sword lights, like bolts of lightning, slashed straight at Su You.

"It's all in vain..." Su You sneered. His spiritual power was comparable to that of a Golden Core cultivator, and he had already seen through the other party's little tricks.

Without the cultivation of body refinement, one might actually be able to be ambushed successfully.

but now……

Sonorous!

The two flying swords landed on Su You's head as if they had struck solid metal, leaving only two white marks on his forehead.
