Legend of Hongmeng Duo

With the activation of the Spirit Gathering Array, Lingquan Island's reputation quickly spread throughout the world of immortal cultivation. More and more cultivators were drawn to the island's rich spiritual energy, hoping to cultivate there. Lin Yi and Su Qing realized that among these newcomers, there were both those who sincerely sought the truth and those with ulterior motives.

To ensure the safety of Lingquan Island, they decided to establish a review mechanism to conduct necessary assessments on all new monks. At the same time, they were also looking for trustworthy allies to jointly maintain peace on the island.

One day, a magnificent flying boat appeared over Lingquan Island, etched with a striking family crest—the emblem of the renowned Danding Sect, a sect renowned in the world of immortal cultivation. The boat slowly descended, and from it emerged a middle-aged cultivator of remarkable character. He introduced himself as an elder of the Danding Sect, named Xuanming.

Elder Xuanming said he had heard of Lingquan Island's rich spiritual energy and had come here specifically to seek cooperation. As one of the most advanced alchemy sects in the world of immortal cultivation, Danding Sect would greatly benefit from collaborating with Lingquan Island.

Lin Yi and Su Qing exchanged a glance, each seeing the caution in the other's eyes. While the Danding Sect had a good reputation, in the world of immortal cultivation, profit often changed everything. They decided to test Elder Xuanming's sincerity first.

"Elder Xuanming, we at Lingquan Island welcome any cultivator who sincerely seeks the truth," Lin Yi said, "but before that, we need to understand Danding Sect's intentions for cooperation."

Elder Xuanming nodded, a hint of admiration in his eyes. "Of course. Danding Sect hopes to establish an alchemy base on Lingquan Island. We are willing to provide elixirs and alchemy support in exchange for the right to practice here."

Su Qing thought for a moment, and then said, “We can consider it, but before that, we need to see the sincerity of Dandingmen.”

Elder Xuanming smiled and took out a jade bottle from his storage ring. "This is the 'Spirit Gathering Pill' specially made by our Danding Sect. Taking it can greatly improve your cultivation efficiency in a short period of time. Please accept it as a gift for our first meeting."

Lin Yi took the jade bottle. He could feel the powerful spiritual energy of the elixir in the jade bottle. He nodded and said, "We will seriously consider Dan Ding Sect's proposal."

Elder Xuanming left Lingquan Island with satisfaction, while Lin Yi and Su Qing began to discuss the feasibility of this proposal. They knew that cooperation with Danding Sect might bring huge benefits to Lingquan Island, but it might also attract the covetousness of other forces.

Over the next few days, Lin Yi and Su Qing carefully studied the Soul Gathering Pill, confirming its authenticity and effectiveness. They also consulted with the monks on other islands and solicited their opinions.

Finally, they decided to accept the proposal of Dandingmen, but at the same time put forward some conditions to ensure the interests and safety of Lingquan Island. Dandingmen agreed to these conditions and promised to send some alchemists to the island to teach alchemy.

With the addition of the Danding Sect, the cultivation atmosphere on Lingquan Island became even more intense. The cultivators on the island had the opportunity to learn more advanced alchemy techniques, and the alchemists of the Danding Sect were full of praise for the island's spiritual herb resources.

Lin Yi and Su Qing know that this is just a stage in their journey and that more challenges await them in the future. But they also believe that with the addition of allies, they will be better able to face these challenges.

"Su Qing, Fengying, our journey is still long and we need more allies." Lin Yi said.

Su Qing nodded, her eyes full of determination: "No matter what the future holds, we will face it together."

The Kazekage beside them gave a cheerful cry, seemingly in agreement.

They stood by the spiritual spring, ready to meet the challenges of the future. Their journey has just begun, their story has just begun.
