Immortal cultivation starts with copying.

The middle-aged monk walked out of the restriction quickly and bowed to Chen Yunhao from a distance.

"I didn't know you were coming, Senior. I'm so sorry. My master is entertaining guests. Please follow me..."

"Lead the way..."

Chen Yunhao waved his hand.

He wanted to find out why the sect had issued this notice and mission, because a month had already passed. If the matter was settled, he would go back to Squid Island directly.

The Zuo family is a medium-sized family, and it has been almost a thousand years since they settled here and established their family.

The entire family now has more than 2,000 people, all of whom have achieved cultivation.

If there are children in the family who are born without spiritual roots, they will be sent directly to the city below to live the life of mortals.

Chen Yunhao followed the middle-aged monk in front of him and walked around and around until he came to a reception room.

At this time, there were more than ten people sitting in the reception room, four of whom were wearing Thunder Mountain costumes.

Among these four people, three are at the Foundation Establishment stage and sit in the back row, and one is at the early Golden Core stage and sits in the front row.

The other six or seven people should be members of the Zuo family. Before Chen Yunhao came in, these more than ten people were discussing something.

After seeing Chen Yunhao come in, the people of the Zuo family were not surprised, after all, they didn’t know Chen Yunhao.

But the four disciples from Thunder Mountain jumped up one by one, with expressions of surprise on their faces.

Chen Yunhao's presence on Squid Island was a secret, and only a handful of people knew about it.

"Greetings to Uncle Master Hu..., Greetings to Grandmaster Master Hu...!"

The four disciples from Thunder Mountain saluted politely in front of Chen Yunhao.

A big sect must not lose its etiquette, and Chen Yunhao's identity is here.

Besides, all the disciples of Thunder Mountain know Chen Yunhao’s true strength. He is also a well-known figure in the sect and ranks very high on the list.

"Fellow Daoist Li, who is this...?"

A cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul from the Zuo family stood up and asked the Jindan disciple from Thunder Mountain in surprise.

"Lei Tingshan, Hu Shihua, I guess this is the head of the Zuo family?"

Chen Yunhao smiled and nodded at the four disciples of Thunder Mountain and introduced himself.

"Oh! It's Brother Hu. I've heard of your great name for a long time, but never had the chance to meet you. Please take a seat..."

The head of the Zuo family is an old man in his fifties with a round face and a constant smile on his face, giving people a harmonious feeling.

Seeing that the head of the Zuo family gave up the main seat, Chen Yunhao didn't hesitate and sat down on it.

In terms of cultivation, he is also in the Nascent Soul stage, not much worse than the head of the Zuo family.

In terms of background, the Zuo family is a vassal family of Thunder Mountain, how can it compare with his status!

So Chen Yunhao felt at ease sitting in the main seat. Sometimes there is no need to be too humble, otherwise people will look down on you.

Besides, he represents the second generation of disciples of Thunder Mountain, and he has a powerful god behind him. He cannot lose face for his master!

"Everyone, please don't be shy and sit together."

Chen Yunhao glanced at the scene, nodded slightly and said.

Seeing that everyone sat down again one after another, Chen Yunhao turned around and asked the head of the Zuo family.

"I was in retreat on Inkfish Island when I received a notification from the sect's sound transmission talisman. I wonder if your family has encountered any trouble?"

Chen Yunhao was a whole month late, but judging by the situation at the scene, the problem had not been resolved, otherwise the disciples of Thunder Mountain would have evacuated long ago.

But it shouldn't be a big trouble. Look at the cultivation level of the four disciples from Thunder Mountain present here. What big things can they do?

"To be honest with you, Fellow Daoist Hu, my Zuo family has indeed encountered some troubles..."

After a brief introduction from Patriarch Zuo, Chen Yunhao understood the whole story.

Each island and the surrounding sea area belong together.

For example, the four or five thousand miles of sea area around Yanling Island belongs to the Zuo family's territory.

The Zuo family is a medium-sized family with one or two thousand disciples, and it consumes a lot of resources every year.

There is only a small spiritual vein on Yanling Island, and no large spiritual fields, so no spiritual medicines can be grown, let alone spiritual grains.

There are seven or eight people in the family who are good at refining pills, but they can only refine some low-level elixirs below level three, which are not even enough to supply the family.

The consumption within the family, plus the annual contribution to Thunder Mountain, all consume spirit stones.

Fortunately, the Zuo family was lucky. Hundreds of years ago, they discovered an underwater spirit stone mine within their own sea area.

The spirit stone mine is not big. In order to ensure a long-term profit, the Zuo family strictly controls the amount of stone mined every year, so it has not been exhausted for hundreds of years.

In the eyes of outsiders, this spirit stone mine is a goose that lays golden eggs, which is very tempting.

In addition, it has not been exhausted for hundreds of years. It is not the small vein that the Zuo family said. It’s just that the quality of the spirit stone is relatively low.

As the saying goes, money moves people's hearts, and the mineral veins that are the main source of income for the Zuo family naturally attracted other people's attention.

Of course, flies don't bite seamless eggs. The location of the Zuo family's mineral vein is also quite special. It is on the edge of the sea and intersects with the territory of another sect.

This gives others an excuse to intervene and say that the scope of the sea area needs to be redefined. Even a fool can see the implication!

In the sea thousands of miles away from Yanling Island, there is an island that is about the same size as Yanling Island, but slightly smaller.

There is a small sect on the island, the Black Water Sect, which is considered a fourth or fifth-rate sect, and its strength is only slightly stronger than that of the Zuo family.

Although this place still belongs to the Thunder Sea, it is outside the sphere of influence of Thunder Mountain.

Although the Black Water Sect is not a very well-known sect in the Thunder Sea, it has four to five thousand disciples, who mainly practice Black Water Kung Fu, and is also a hegemon in the nearby sea area.

The Zuo family could not defeat the Black Water Sect in a head-on confrontation, so they could only seek help from the Thunder Mountain behind them.

Of course, it doesn't mean that Lei Ting Mountain has to destroy the Black Water Sect. He just needs to call a few disciples of Lei Ting Mountain to support him and make the Black Water Sect give up.

This kind of thing is as small as it can be for Thunder Mountain.

So he randomly assigned a few disciples stationed on the nearby island to stand on the side and support.

Unexpectedly, when the Black Water Sect saw Lei Tingshan come forward, they showed some intention to retreat.

But I don’t know what happened later, he seemed very stiff and refused to give in.

So the two sides negotiated back and forth for several rounds, and the Zuo family and the Black Water Clan also fought several times, causing damage to both sides.

Anyway, it has been a month since the Zuo family was able to mine spirit stones normally. As long as they send people there, the people from the Black Water Sect will come to cause trouble.

After listening to what Patriarch Zuo said, Chen Yunhao was also thinking about it secretly.

He didn't know much about the nearby waters, so he naturally couldn't just listen to one person's opinion.

"Please, Master Zuo, bring me a chart of the nearby sea."

This matter is not difficult to resolve, even though it is just the opinion of the Zuo family head.

But the Zuo family has been mining that spiritual stone vein for hundreds of years, so it can’t be fake, right?

If there really was a problem, the Black Water Sect would have come knocking on our door long ago, why would it have dragged on for hundreds of years!
